Do you consider the environmental impact when choosing a print or e-book format?
I admit, I've only thought very briefly about this question and it doesn't enter into my decision to read a book in print or digital format. My decision is based primarily on availability.
I recently came across a short article on this very topic. It gave me pause. The author considered the trees used to make paper, chlorine bleach to dye the paper, use of recycled paper, amount of ink, energy needed to produce the ink, lifespan of a typical e-reader, and carbon emissions from production and use of an e-reader.
Bottom line conclusion from the author: an e-reader is the more environmentally responsible choice for those who read more than 23 books per year.
Now that you know this, will it make a difference in the format you choose?

This product is not bad, but my hair looked bit dull. Anyway, it's great for travelling and I think about simply buying other Liggett's type of shampoo bar.

Update to review below: I am lowering my rating to two stars because my mother mentioned that my hair has been looking greasy lately. I thought that this and the bar with argan oil were doing a good job, although I still had days that my hair felt like straw even with the apple cider vinegar rinse, but I thought at least I was doing something good for it. My mother commented that since I've been using this, my hair has looked greasy. I'm now going to look for something else. I found a way that I can use this shampoo bar without turning my hair to oily straw. Instead of spraying the apple cider vinegar rinse on, I poured about 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar into a medium sized bowl, filled the rest with water, and dipped my hair into it, and poured the remaining rinse over my roots. I did not wash it out. Now my hair is soft and shiny. Original review: My hair looks and feels terrible after using this several times. I'm still going to try it for a while, because maybe it takes time to get used to. But my hair feels like straw on the bottom, and oily in places at the roots. I miss my Giovanni shampoo and conditioner so much, but I'm trying to completely avoid estrogenic ingredients like phenoxyethanol and certain essential oils (see Dr. Peter Eckhart if you're confused). J.R. Liggett's customer service is a bit weird, too. I phoned them to ask if their shampoo bar for damaged hair contains certain essential oils. They returned my call while I was out, so I emailed, explaining the situation. Instead of at least replying that the bar does or does not contain the essential oils I'm trying to avoid, they reacted as if I'm trying to steal their recipe. Paranoid much? I'm going to try their argan oil bar to see if that's an improvement on this one, but this whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. I just want to find a shampoo bar that works for me. I have long, fine, colour treated hair (brunette), btw, the kind that tangles hopelessly every time I set foot outside. Not sure if that's why this soap doesn't work so well or not. I also have been following it with an apple cider vinegar rinse.
Love this bar shampoo!

Since I started using J.R. Liggett's bar shampoo, I love how my hair feels. It is so clean and shiny and full of life. My favorite is the Jojoba & Pepperment Oil bar. I love the tingle I get in my sometimes itchy scalp. But, so far I've enjoyed all the other options they have including this one. Works well with me! :)
Great shampoo!

text: Legislation Hits Senate to End EU Sanctions JOBS bill planned for Senate action this week to end Europe's retaliatory taxes on $4 billion worth of agricultural goods. Compiled by staff Published on: May 3, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Before heading into an election summer, Senate is set to vote on legislation that helps end escalating European taxes against U.S. farm products and approves several other key agricultural tax provisions. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Baucus report that the Senate plans to complete Senate action on the Jumpstart Our Business Strength (JOBS) Act (S. 1637), this week. As a result of a World Trade Organization ruling that the U.S. Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (ETI) program was a prohibited export subsidy, the EU has implemented a 5% tax on more than $4 billion worth of U.S. exports. The 5% tax will increase one percent each month until it reaches 17% in March 2005. The JOBS Act would repeal ETI and replace it with a series of tax cuts for domestic industries. "We have a finite list of amendments, and we intend to work through amendments Monday, Tuesday, and until the bill is done," the senators said in a joint statement. "Both of us share the goal of creating more good-paying jobs in our home states and throughout the country, and that's exactly what the JOBS bill will do. According to American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman, swift passage of the bill is needed because it includes energy tax incentives for homegrown, renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Those incentives would support U.S. farmers while increasing the production of environmentally friendly, domestic energy supplies, Stallman says. The measure also contains other important agricultural tax provisions, including an extension of the increased limit for farm business expense deductions. Under that provision, farmers, ranchers and woodlot owners would pay fewer taxes due to expansion of small business expensing provisions and changes in the way timber sales are taxed. "Every month that we delay enacting this bill sees another ratcheting up of European Union tariffs on American products, harming American business," the senators statement says.

For countless years (decades, in fact) I've often thought as I took Route 182 from Hancock to Cherryfield as my favored scenic route to avoid midsummer traffic on Route 1 on forays Down East, that Tunk Mountain was beckoning. With its ledgy summit ridge and obviously outstanding views, and as the northerly sister to scenic Schoodic Mountain, I was determined to one day find my way to the top.
Hikers who opt to continue to Tunk Mountain's summit ridge will be treated to the kind of scenic vista that's rare outside of Maine's largely unspoiled north country. Recent amenities make the trek up the 1,157-foot mountain easier.
John Christie photos
The summit trail rises over a series of ridges, by and across a couple of musical streams with one featuring a photogenic waterfall.
Up until a couple of years ago, only local cognoscenti knew both where to park and how to find a route to the top.
All that changed when the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands built a parking lot some 14 miles east of the intersection of Routes 1 and 182 in Hancock on what is now identified as the Blackwoods Scenic Byway. A large informational kiosk helps hikers find trails both to the top and around some ponds. A pit toilet is conveniently located there as well.
Back in June 2011, my good buddy Carey Kish wrote about these improvements in these pages, hence my inspiration to finally trek up Tunk, as I did just last week.
In addition to the 1,157-foot mountain, the entire 6,915-acre addition to the Donnell Pond Public Reserved Lands Unit includes several small ponds, Spring River Lake, and the north and east shores of Tunk Lake.
You'll spot the well-marked parking area on the left less than a mile past little Fox Pond, lying beside the road on your right.
From the parking lot, the trail winds its way through a quiet mixed forest, startlingly interrupted with impressive glacial boulders among which the trail passes. In the wetter softwood stands, bog bridges have been built to make the hike easier and drier.
After a half-mile, the unmarked south end of the Hidden Ponds Loop Trail joins from the right, which I bypassed to continue on the main Tunk Mountain Trail. A short distance farther you'll pass along the west shore of Salmon Pond before coming to the intersection of the north end of the Loop Trail. If weather, or your courage, suggest that a walk around the one-mile loop with views of Salmon and Little Long ponds might be better than an assault of Tunk, returning to your car via that route is a delightful option.
If you opt to continue to the summit ridge, you'll pass an attractive little pond, inappropriately named, in my view, Mud Pond. Over the decades, I've been on many of the countless Mud Ponds that dot Maine's back country, and most of them live up to that name. This one, however, is almost Alpine in character, as ledges drop directly down into the water. It looked to me like a haven for some brookies, but I learned later that the pond's high acidity has rendered it fish-less.
The trail begins to rise over a series of ridges, by and across a couple of musical streams with one featuring a photogenic waterfall and, after about 1.3 miles from the trail head, an expansive vista opens up to the east, with views on the ponds below, hills beyond them and the Down East coast in the distance.
A moderately strenuous climb, including a rung-assisted section as you get nearer the ridge, is rewarded with a second ledgy vista, near which a plaque commemorating the benefactors responsible for this public treasure is set in a stone.
Once reaching the ridge, the trail turns north to a craggy viewpoint looking north, with the pristine scene interrupted, in the eyes of staunch preservationists, by a wind farm on a hill a few miles away.

The Hidden Ponds Trail gently rises before turning down toward the south shore of Salmon Pond, surrounded by spruce trees.

"The 'stamvader' of the van Renen/Reenen family in South Africa was Graaf Jacob von Renen. He was from Memel a coastal town in Prussia (today Lithuania). It is told that the Graaf was forced to flee from his country after fighting a duel, which was forbidden in those times. To make matters worse his opponent died. His financial affairs were also not quite in order when he fled his homeland. He gave 'Power of Attorney' dated 11 February to Juriaan Westerman of Amsterdam. He had the right to receive certain monies that were owed to him (Jacob). He moves to the Netherlands where he sailed with the ship 'Astrea' to the Cape from Goree in Zeeland on 18 October 1721. The ship anchored off Robben Island on 25 Feb 1722. He landed at the Cape of Good Hope on Thursday 5 March. Had the rank of adelhorst in the regiment of Cocchius between 1721 -1725, one higher than private. In 1724 he is appointed as a 'seelsnyer (segelslager) in the service of the V.O.C. He became a 'Vryburger' in early 1725. On 5 February 1726 he is promoted to the rank of corporal in the Burgerkrysraad in the place of Jacob van Bochem who was promoted to sergant. On 20 January 1729 he is promoted to sergant and on the 30 August 1732 he is appointed as Brandmeester. On 14 December 1734 is Marthinus Heems and Jacob van Renen 'geeligeert tot Commissarissen van Civile en Huwelike Saken'. The President of the college was Ryk Tulbach. On 8 April 1743, Jacob van Renen is choosen as a member of the 'Weeskamer' and was generally known as the 'Oude Weesmeester'. An inventory drawn up on his first wifes death in 1755 showed the estate as being valued at 60617 Rds, a huge sum for those days. Not only did he farm but speculated in property, rented out houses, had interests in the supply meat and wine to the Company.. He also was a moneylender. Its no wonder that he became one of the most prosperous men in the Colony.
Farm Properties he bought and sold.

[Graaf] Jacobus Von Rhenen (known as Jacob Van Reenen) was born in Memel, East Prussia in 1703. His parents were Daniel Von Rhenen & Catharina Elisabeth Crofki. His brother, Daniel, who was Burgermeester Von Altenburg of Prussia owned large estates on the Rhine. It is believed that from 1721-1725, Jacobus was in the Service of the Dutch East India Company. In October 1721 he sailed from Goree in Seeland aboard the 'Astrea', arriving at the Cape in February 1722. In 1724 Jacobus joined the cocchius regiment and in 1725 he became a free citizen of the Cape. In that same year married Johanna Siekermans, an orphan, from Amsterdam. Johanna, three of her daughters and their husbands and a grandson, died in 1755 during the devastating smallpox epidemic which claimed many lives at the Cape. Jacobus and Johanna had six children:Jacobus (Jacob) 1727-1793; married Maria Franke Catharina Elisabeth (1729-1755); married Willem Van Schoor Daniel (1730-1776);m1-Catharina Christina Beck; m2-Johanna Levina ColynBeatrix Cornelia (1731-1755); married Diedrick WilhelmiAnna Margaretha (1733-1755); married Joachim Jan Lodewyk WernichGeertruy(da) (1736-?); married Jan (Johan) SerrurierJacobus married his second wife, Maria Elizabeth Louw, in 1757 and had a further three children:Adriaan (1760-?); married Engela van NiekerkJan (1762-1764)Maria Jacoba Christina (1764-?) Jacobus owned large estates at the Cape and in 1742 the family acquired meat and wine contracts with the Dutch East India Company. His descendants were ranked among the most outstanding farmers and agriculturalists of the early Cape Dutch settlement and owned vast areas of land in the colony. Jacobus's eldest son, Jacob the younger (1727-1793), was a Burgher Councillor and as leader of the 'Kaapse Patriot' was one of the delegates who went to Holland in 1779 to lay the burghers' grievances before the Council of Seventeen in Amsterdam. He owned the farm 'Welgelegen' at Mowbray. In 1746, in Cape Town, Jacob married Maria Franke. They had nine sons and five daughters. Three of their sons, Johannes Gysbertus, Jacob and Sebastiaan Valentyn, farmed in partnership until 1795. The South African wool industry was largely promoted by their experiments in cross-breeding the indigenous Cape sheep with Spanish merinos. Another son, Dirk Gysbert, who had farmed with his brothers since 1792, owned the brewery at Newlands and the farm 'Rhenoster Fontein' at the mouth of the Breede River where he established a dairy and cheese factory. Jacob's younger brother, Daniel (1730-1776), married Catharina Christina Beck who died in 1771. Daniel married his second wife, Johanna Levina Colyn, a widow in 1773. His eldest son, Jacob, was educated in England and many of his descendants served with the British armed forces in India. My great-grandmother, Sophie Becker,was born in South Africa in 1848 and died in Australia in 1936. Her mother, Aletta Hillegonda Van Reenen was a great-great-grandaughter of [Graaf] Jacobus. Aletta married Carl Johannes (known as Henry) Becker who was born in South Africa in 1826 and died in England in 1881. Henry's parents were Charles Arnulph Ettienne (known as Karel Arnoldus) Becker (1790-1844) & Johanna Elizabeth Scholtz. His grand-parents were Jean Becker & Catharine Greiner of Wolmunster in France.

Recent reviews:
January 18, 2014 - Beautifully made, whimsical, and exquisitely detailed. I love the fact that it is handmade and fairly purchased and supports local artisans, a win-win situation. My family adores gifts from this site.
January 2, 2014 - great gift -- a worrier on my list was the ideal receiver.
December 31, 2013 - Great stocking fillers for my dog rescue loving kids.. They loved them!
August 8, 2013 - Love this little dog. I carry it around with me everywhere I go. And I like that it helped animals
April 1, 2013 - I ordered 3 of these. They aren't quite what I expected (I never can figure out sizes even though it's given). The "dog" doesn't resemble a dog at all :( However, the story tucked into the bag/doll made it a good buy. Both my daughters loved them and I carry mine, rather than put it under my pillow. Cute "little something" to get anyone who knows this site and/or loves dog or folklore!
Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

hey guys! i'm starting to get so irritated because i've researched online what not to eat when pregnant and every sight says different things! I had a baby 2 years ago and there are thing it's saying i can and cant eat that i dont remember from back then! please help if anyone knows a website i might be able to check out with good information i'd really appreciate it!
Honestly my wife loves coke, but she avoided it early on in the pregnancy and kept it to a can a day or so for the rest of it. Other than that I think she avoided raw fish (sushi was out, but lox (smoked salmon ) was fine). I dont think she skipped much, if anything else. Like any other time eating she just focused on eating healthy and taking her pre-natal vitamins as much as possible.
I'm looking for a site myself, but I do know that there's something in certain teas you're not supposed to have, meats must be fully cooked, milk products pastureized, but i am still looking for more info on the subject. I have my first appt. on march 20 so I am going to see about getting a list from the doctor.
Limit caffeine. No alcohol. Check all meds with your doctor first. Avoid fish high in mercury such as: swordfish, shark, tilefish, and king mackerel. Basically, the bigger the fish, the higher the mercury content b/c they eat smaller fish that contain mercury. Everything needs to be cooked well, so no sushi or eggnog. No soft cheeses unless they are made from pasteurized milk. Heat all lunch meat and hotdogs until steaming hot. Wash veggies and fruit very well.
Really this is all I can think of. I know I broke some of these rules by accident when I was pregnant. A list is a good thing to have. You might ask the doc if you can run by and pick up one before your appointment.
Don't forget your prenatal vitamin!
yeah go to web md and it will tell you what to eat and not eat i basically just eat anything i am hungrey for as long as i do not feel sick
I had my first appointmenet with the nurse yesterday and she also mentioned that if you are a tuna fish eater that you should only eat lite tuna and limit it to once a week. As for Deli meats, you should always try to get them to cut it in front of you. And if you buy the ones that already cut, you should heat it up due to a bacteria that they might carry.
I have never heard of heating up the lunch meat and ate it my whole pregnancy and was fine! What I have not read anywhere but know from experience is Iced tea made me sick. I was told that IT is prone to food born bacteria and many restaurants do not clean the IT containers good! Also the only other thing that I did not specifically see listed is Blue cheese and blue cheese dressing (soft cheese)

Those who sit around after the game, with all of the facts about the conflict now known, saying with great certainty how clearly they would have known the path to peace and how stupid everyone in the conflicts were for doing things the way they were done. Armchair quarterbacks or not, it is plain foolishness to think that every person has the same core motivations, morals, etc. There is nothing more dangerous than to believe that every human prefers peach and resolution. This is why appeasement didn't work with Hitler. Many thought that we could negotiate with him, or control him by trying to become his friend. Dictators rarely care about what others think of them. When there is a fire raging through a forest, sometimes more fire is used to battle the fire (controlled burns) to stop the spread of the fire. To say that America was/is a warmongering nation is stupidity. A man doesn't run towards conflict, but he most certainly doesn't run from it either. In any given war, had we turned our soft fleshy side towards our enemy, we would have only emboldened them, allowing them to continue to grow and get stronger. Sometimes as much as you do not want to fight, sometimes fighting is required. A bully cannot be reasoned with. Any kids who has ever been bullied knows this fact. You stand your ground and fight so the bully knows that from this day forward you will not be an easy target. He knows that he will always be met with a fight. This President has destroyed America. Our foreign policy issues exist due to our perceived weakness. More people will die due to our weakness than if we had maintained our strength, even if that meant a skirmish.

Current leadership and carter have alot in common. There will be a world power. And whomever the world power is will use their military to achieve their goals. Current pres. is decreasing our defense and military at a rapid rate, while Russia and China increases theirs and meet often to discuss their common goals. (read 'dreams FROM my father' by current pres to understand his dreams/goals for America watch 'obamas america 2016' & note when the producer started this documentary he was a fan of obama, if you want to understand why obama is chipping away at the sovereignty of America as well as our ability to defend ourselves...) poor old carter means well and probably really believes peace can be achieved through talk....

As a cancer patient who is reading more research on how cannabis derivatives can help myself as well as others with different chronic or as in my case terminal conditions I find it appalling this bill did not pass on the first go around.

If this is true I hope no one in her circle of friends or family ever is afflicted with any of these conditions. she should be ashamed of resorting to these tactics and needs to NOT be reelected. Unfortunately, most politicians have no shame and really don't serve the people well who elected them.

Working with juvenile offenders and social services for the past 21 years, I can tell you that…Read More social services for children and the juvenile justice system are two of the most neglected services most states have. I'm glad to see that we have a governor that is giving attention to these areas. If we want to fix what ails society, start young and catch them while they have a chance to start over with better skills and a new outlook on life. I have several stories of kids whose families and themselves got it turned around before they reached adulthood due to volunteer services and grants from the government. I just wish we had more money allotted to some of these programs that work. I don't mind paying taxes when I know that some of it goes to programs that can show tangible results.

Paulding has nothing like the Cumberland CID producing over 33% of the county's economy. You'll be all set, and will be paying your own taxes instead of letting the CID do a lot of it for you so you can have a lower mill rate. Then you can complain about any type of progressive investment to increase the type of development that will lower our mill rate even further, or bring entertainment that will increase our quality of life.

Critic: Full Cost of Braves Stadium is Double Amount…
Brian April 7, 2014 at 02:11 am
And Richard, I don't want YOU trying to decide how MY tax money is spent, yelling and stamping your…Read More feet about it, calling something a conspiracy or a boondoggle. I expect some of MY tax money to be spent on INVESTMENT. Cobb has always invested in infrastructure and other things at the right time, but there are some who want to see Cobb stop investing and just stagnate. Those people yell very loudly. I'll just have to yell louder for a change. As will the 10 people who are happy about the stadium for every 1 that sends a complaint. Anti-investment people don't speak for me or the hundreds of thousands like me, including my tea-party coworker who is actually for the stadium. Imagine that! I think people who are anti-investment and not progressive should just stick their home on the market, and move some place like Cherokee, Forsyth, or Douglas County and not be in an urban county where people actually want things that "finish" an area and make it truly liveable like entertainment, parks, bike paths, "complete streets", mixed-use development and other things that it just not appreciated by those who looked to settle into a stagnant suburban area which is anything but what the part of Cobb near Cumberland is becoming. Try instead heading towards being a vibrant community.
Brian April 7, 2014 at 02:20 am
And in conclusion, let me remind you that 33% of the county's economy IS the Cumberland CID and even…Read More more than that if you consider the adjoining communities like Smyrna that are heavily dependent on the Cumberland CID. If you really think about it, we owe much of our tax digest to the fact the Cumberland CID is even there. It's also 5% of the Georgia economy! So don't bite the hand that feeds you, or your taxes would be much higher. To put it another way: If it weren't for the Cumberland CID and adjoining development, homeowners would be stuck paying for almost everything and our mill rate would be through the roof, so I really would put in perspective any investment in the CID or Cobb Pkwy, for office, mixed-use or entertainment in perspective. If investments didn't work, and the CID was self-taxation to re-invest in infrastructure with Cumberland Blvd interchange being among the first, then the Cumberland CID would be virtually empty like it once was. But no, it's doing very well. A demonstration of the power of investment of tax dollars and public-private partnerships.
Richard "the Equalizer" Pellegrino April 7, 2014 at 01:36 pm
Brian....I and Common Cause and countless other entities both locally and beyond, have provided…Read More facts, numbers, questions, etc....all of which are reasonable, are based on the numbers that the County has provided, and are not hyperbole . However you have also raised many good points and questions and this is exactly the type of dialogue which needs to take place and which the stewards or our money and county have not allowed or encouraged. That is exactly our point, and I am sure that many citizens who are complaining or are on the fence because of distrust of government could be swayed to support the project if the process allowed adequate transparency and citizen involvement, and if they could determine that your position and the "facts" supporting it are accurate. And if that process of vetting such a deal cannot be resolved by such a period of dialogue through town halls, etc, , then it goes to a vote, a referendum. That is how our system is supposed to work. People are tired of being treated like idiots and having things like this shoved down their throats by big business and elected representatives. Just as you don't want me and others to dictate how your tax dollars are spent the same goes for those of us who want the chance to properly vet such a proposal. We are exercising that right now, after the fact due to the rush to judgement by the Commission and others, and if that exercise of our rights derails the project, which it may, so be it. That is not our intention if it is really good for the county...and I welcome to you come to our CGT (Citizens for Governmental Transparency) meeting(s) and express your support based on the "facts" that you have presented here. (You can write me at email@example.com and I will send you the invites.) We are providing the forums that the elected representatives have failed to provide, and though more people attend each of our meetings and our group is growing, not one Braves deal (as it is) supporter has attended, except for Commissioner Ott, who still has many reservations and claimed that he wanted more time along with Commissioner Cupid, and pushed for a delay, but was outvoted. (By the way, the majority of our group is not against the Braves coming to Cobb, however some have problems with the public financing as it is currently structured, and all have problems with the process.)
Farmer Wins 'Ridiculous' Court Fight Over Vidalia Sweet…
Beau waters March 31, 2014 at 08:53 am
I hate it when only half of a story gets told. This is not a case of Government interference. For…Read More years the Vidalia onion has suffered from quality issues because in an effort to rush to market, immature onions that rot quickly on store shelves, have been harvested. In the past year, growers of the onion asked Commissioner Black to help them. Three separate listening sessions were held and an overwhelming majority of the growers asked for this very rule. Bland farms grows onions in Texas and Mexico and it is debatable wether his Vidalia onions actually come from Georgia. This rule takes away his huge advantage of putting out fake Vidalias and thus the reason for the lawsuit.
Jordan Reese April 17, 2014 at 12:27 pm
While some of you may think it is ridiculous, being a Vidalia native I feel that you are completely…Read More and totally uninformed. This is only half of the story. Vidalia Onions are what this town basically runs on. The onions bring in more money each and every year. However, when someone puts out onions that are not ripened to their prime, it creates a stink. People are then angry with the city of Vidalia for their rotten onions, rather than the grower/s for harvesting them too early. This is why Commissioner Black made this rule, because the GROWERS asked for it. For years people have put out "early Vidalia's" and it hurts the business for others who wait it out until the crop is ready. It also creates a bad name for Vidalia's if someone purchases them early and are unhappy. It's all about the quality of the onions. It's not ridiculous, it's the right thing to do.

Cobb Government Leaders Considering New Sales Tax

Not no, but hell no!
Brian April 3, 2014 at 10:35 pm
repubnut: Why would someone from the Tea Party be for a rise in property tax millage for road…Read More maintenance? Since that's what you are saying, however you probably don't realize it. Get informed, since obviously you aren't, and just spout Tea Party propaganda without knowing the facts. Around 30% of the previous two SPLOSTs were siphoned to the general fund to pay for road maintenance. IF this funding source were cut off, then your property taxes would go up. Then you'd be paying 100% of road maintenance costs, because you wouldn't be able to rely on some sales tax paid for by people outside the county visiting Cumberland and Town Center. Well, the HOST is simply there to replace that portion of the SPLOST diversion with sales tax, so that 100% of the SPLOST would be used for its original attention. On top of that, it's to cover shortfalls until the property tax digest reaches where it should be since it took a dive during the recession and hasn't fully rebounded. Again, some portion of it would be paid for by people outside of Cobb instead of 100% paid for by homeowners. With additional Cumberland development, even more people will be coming to Cobb and spending their money here. Instead, it seems, you'd rather leave part of the burden not on people living outside of Cobb but instead on homeowners in Cobb and have higher property taxes.

What Kenneth Patterson and some others don't understand is that we've only put 2% of previous SPLOSTs towards transit and a good chunk of them was just to cover maintenance and expansions that otherwise would have been paid for by property tax. Likewise, we have been putting off BRT on the Cobb Pkwy cooridor for a long time and will pay for these things regardless, but through SPLOST, it won't be through sales tax and instead will be through sales tax partially collected by convention-goers and others outside the county (Much of it is collected in Cumberland).

You must do a harbour tour in Copenhagen to learn some history and see the city from a different view. It had rained earlier in the day and it appeared to be clear so we made our way over to the ticket counter and purchased four tickets for DKK 50.- each for a one hour tour.
The boat was about a quarter full as we set out into the harbour. We weren't in the boat five minutes when it started to sprinkle on us. No problem: umbrellas!! Were heading out of Nyhavn into the harbour when we all had to duck down so we could fit under the bridge. We knew we were in for an interesting ride.
At this point we were informed that the water in the harbour and canals was a bit high today so we would have to skip part of the canals and go look at other things in the harbour. We did get to see some interesting things. We went by "The Little Mermaid" (Den Lille Havfrue), the Queen's yacht, Amalienborg Slot, the new Marriott and library extension, and all kinds of other interesting things that I don't remember. Why don't I remember, you ask? Most of the hour we were in the boat it was pouring rain and windy. Three of us were trying to shield the four of us from rain. The wind was blowing the umbrellas backwards and water was pouring off of the umbrellas right back onto us. Quite humorous now . . . not at the time.
Our guide thanked us for being troopers before we had to duck down again to get back into Nyhavn. We were absolutely freezing and mad because we chose a horrible time to go.
This aside, we decided we all deserved a little treat when we were done and headed over to purchase a Polser with remoulade, mustard, ketchup, cucumber slices, and crisp onions. Yum yum. Another thing that is highly recommended in Denmark!!
Even though we froze and got soaked, we had a good laugh about it. I would still recommend the tour (just try to go on it when it isn't going to rain).

The DFDS Canal tour takes approximately an hour and gives a water level persepctive to many of the cities sights including, The Little Mermaid, the Royal Library and Amelienborg Slot.
Rather than the specific sights however it's real strength is that it gives you a glimpse of copenhagen living. We went on a saturday afternoon and as our tour boat wound through the boat lined canals, almost every boat large or small had a group of copenhagen natives, drinking, chatting playing cards and generally enjoying their weekend.
The commentary is informative rather that entertaining, and is given live in three languages. Accordingly it can be easy to miss what is being said.
In summer the tour is run as a hop on, hop off tour.

We're driving less...because we have fewer cars
U.S. vehicle miles driven have dropped. And it's probably because the size of the fleet has been in decline.
I felt like I should pull out Occam's Razor over the weekend when I spotted, via Twitter, some speculation from Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider and later Matt Yglesias of Slate about why the number of vehicle miles driven in the U.S. has been dropping.
Weisenthal toys with out all sorts of correlations to explain the decline — everything labor reductions to gas prices to an aging population...and of course e-commerce! This last part is what Yglesias picked up on. By the time the these two had finished, they'd trotted out no less than ten charts. Here's Matt:
One very interesting social trend we have going on in the United States right now is the decline in vehicle miles traveled, which initially looked like a mere recession thing but seems to be continuing even as the economy has added jobs for the past 18 months. Joe Weisenthal was speculating on twitter that online shopping might be the reason.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
Books about Buddhism are very popular at the Kalamazoo Public Library, so I am always looking to buy new titles. Within the subject of Buddhism, author Thich Nhat Hanh is a perennial favorite, so I wanted to let you know that I just ordered his new book: Work: How to Find Joy and Meaning in Each Hour of the Day. Even though we have not received the book yet, you can still place a hold on it.
Other Thich Nhat Hanh titles I have ordered this year:
Good Citizens: Creating Enlightened Society
Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm
Have a Happy New Year!

Knicks officially release Kurt Thomas, sign Solomon Jones
The Knicks announced the release of veteran forward Kurt Thomas and the signing of free-agent forward Solomon Jones on Friday.
Multiple reports indicated on Wednesday that the Knicks planned to waive Thomas to create a roster spot to accommodate the signing of free-agent forward James Singleton. The reported agreement with Singleton, the New York Times reported, "fell through."
New York, currently the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed, will make the roster shuffle roughly three weeks after Thomas suffered a stress fracture in his right foot. With Thomas, the Knicks' roster had been full at 15 players. Jones will be playoff-eligible because he was not on an NBA roster this season and Newsday reported he would be available for a Friday night game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
Jones, 28, played 21 games for the Clippers and Hornets last season before spending the opening portion of this season in the Chinese Basketball Association. Jones, a 6-foot-10 forward, holds career averages of 3.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in six seasons with the Hawks, Pacers, Clippers and Hornets.
Thomas, 40, was the NBA's oldest player this season. He was expected to be sidelined two-to-four weeks after an MRI in March revealed an acute stress reaction surrounding a chronic stress fracture in the navicular bone of his right foot. The New York Daily News reports he will undergo surgery next week.
On a minimum contract of $1.4 million that was set to expire after the season, Thomas was acquired in a 2012 trade with the Blazers. He averaged 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game this season and was called into heavier action when the Knicks lost Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire to knee injuries in March. Thomas finished with six points and three rebounds in a season-high 26 minutes in his final game with the Knicks, a road win over Utah on March 18 that snapped a four-game losing streak and kicked off a 13-game winning streak.
Thomas, the No. 10 pick in the 1995 draft, holds averages of 8.1 points and 6.6 rebounds during an 18-year career that included stops with the Heat, Mavericks, Knicks, Suns, SuperSonics, Spurs, Bucks, Bulls and Blazers.
The Knicks are 51-27 and clinched their first Atlantic Division title since 1994 this week. The franchise is seeking its first playoff-series victory since 2000.
