We were there for one night for a livestock show. It's pretty good! The staff were really nice to us, the room was nice. The beds were alright, I think they just hit an odd pressure point on me but the pillows were really good too. I didn't eat the breakfast, there isn't a whole lot I saw to pick from but McDonald's is half a mile away so no big deal. There is a train track right by the hotel but honestly I heard it go by twice and barely heard it going through. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area. ...

What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn
Catherine was longlisted for both the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction and the Man Booker Prize!
What Was Lost
Catherine O'Flynn
Tindal Street Press
The 1980s. Kate Meaney with her 'Top Secret' notebook and Mickey her toy monkey is busy being a junior detective. She observes goings-on and follows 'suspects' at the newly opened Green Oaks shopping centre.
2004. Lisa, stuck in a going-nowhere relationship, is working as a deputy manager at Your Music, a cut-price record store. Together with security guard Kurt, she becomes entranced by the little girl they keep glimpsing on the centre's CCTV. As their after-hours friendship intensifies, they investigate how these sightings might be connected to the unsettling history of Green Oaks itself.
Catherine O'Flynn was born in Birmingham in 1970, where she grew up in and around her parents' sweet shop. She has been a teacher, web editor, mystery customer and postwoman and her first novel draws on her experience of working in record stores. After a few years in Barcelona, she now lives in Birmingham.

Beyonce lives up to hype with fierce Super Bowl halftime set
Has there ever been a 12-minute set as hyped as Beyoncé's Super Bowl halftime show Sunday? The widely publicized press conference, the Destiny's Child reunion rumors, the bold promise of live singing after that lip-synching scandal at Barack Obama's inauguration. Was there any possibility whatsoever it could live up to expectations—especially since the vast majority of Super Bowl halftime shows are bloated, ultimately forgettable diversions?

AROUND - Bistro and Spa Tramway
New for the summer of 2003 is a bistro tramway that traffic line 2. It's a rebuilt regular tramway with a bar and tables. You just pay the regular fee (and for your food and drinks of course).
The real surprise is the second cart, it's been rebuilt as a spa cart with a sauna and a jacuzzi.
Both are availible for bookings for private parties.

The Norrköping tramway is a system of trams forming a principal part of the public transport services in Norrköping, a city in Sweden's eastern Östergötland province. It has been in service since 1904, and is, along with the larger Göteborg tramway, one of only two city-centre tramways in Sweden that survived the switch to right-hand traffic in 1967, which led to the replacement of most Swedish tramways with buses to reduce the cost of replacing their now-unusable fleets.
The current system has two routes. Line 2 runs from Fridvalla in the north to Ljura in the south, following Östra Promenaden through the city centre. Line 3 runs between Vidablick in the north and Klockaretorpet in the west, passing through the city centre on Drottninggatan. Both lines interchange with the national railway network at the Resecentrum (Travelcentre) by Norrköping Central Station.

A good way to get around in Norrköping is by bus. It costs 40 SEK (about 4 EURO) if you pay on the bus but if you buy your ticket in a resale store like PRESSBYRÅN then a tripp only costs 20 SEK (about 2 EURO), big differance.

Couldn't be easier
Norrköping is on the E4 motorway and main railway line Malmö-Stockholm so all InterCity and X2000 trains stop here. There are also regional trains from around the county and from Nyköping to the north. The railway station is next to the coach station with Swebus coaches and regional buses too. Norrköping also has an airport with scheduled flights to Copenhagen but otherwise mainly charter and small business flights. However, neighbouring Nyköping to the north (only half an hour away by car) is marketed as "Stockholm south" by Ryanair who fly there from London, Frankfurt Hahn, Paris and some other places.

text: Brash and arrogant, French director Jean-Pierre Melville (1917–73) earned his reputation as the Father of New Wave cinema by directing films such as this sharp thriller, Le Deuxième Souffle (Second Wind) in 1966. Along with such classics as Bob le Flambeur (1956) and Le Doulos (1962), it's a visually dense gangster movie that simultaneously looks back to classic American film noir — with its hard-boiled heroes and dangerous dames — and forward to the lonely, existential crime films of the later '60s and '70s. Never part of the French film industry, Melville carved out an independent career based on genres disparaged by the mainstream, and this newly remastered film, here given Criterion's usual first-class treatment, is the perfect place to enjoy Melville at his best. Seasoned criminal Gu Minda, played by the stone-faced Lino Ventura, breaks out of a prison where he was serving a life sentence. Hoping to leave the country, he needs one more big score to pay his way and relies on his old gang: Alban, his Neanderthal driver, and Manouche, his blonde moll — Melville's answer to Gloria Grahame. The drama is incidental to the pure style: dark, interior, with much said by few words. And the casting is superb, including the cynical inspector played by the dapper Paul Meurisse and the sleazy nightclub owner played by Marcel Bozzufi, best known to American viewers for his role in The French Connection. There's nothing superfluous here, with plenty of gunplay, sexy showgirls, and cool jazz. Despite a silly disclaimer, Melville affirms the gangster's code of loyalty and friendship. Fans of his later World War II masterpiece, L'Armee des Ombres (Army of Shadows), will marvel at the parallels between his amoral criminals and the virtuous Resistance fighters (gangsters with a cause?) In any case, this gripping narrative stands on its own: taut, angular, and shrewd.

AbstractThe goal of this project is to develop and evaluate an educational magazine for parents on teenage substance abuse. The publication will use a peer communications approach to inform parents and to constructively involve them in their child's recovery. Special edition issues will address the concerns of parents during the pre-treatment and in-treatment phases of substance abuse. An ongoing monthly publication will be used to engage and educate parents following their child's treatment. The aftercare phase is a strong predictor of treatment success. A critical part of aftercare is the type and extent of parental involvement. Service providers and educators have few tools to help them reach parents. In Phase I, a pilot magazine will be developed and produced. The issue will focus on the transition point from treatment to aftercare. The format and content of the pilot magazine will be developed in conjunction with affected parents and teenagers. The finished magazine will be distributed to parents whose children are completing treatment. An evaluation will be conducted to assess the magazine's impact on parental involvement in and information about their child's recovery. In Phase II, the special editions and ten issues of a monthly publication will be produced.

Associated Press
Pope Francis is coming under increasing criticism that he simply doesn't get it on sex abuse.
Three months after the Vatican announced a commission of experts to study best practices on protecting children, no action has been taken, no members appointed, no statute outlining the commission's scope approved.
Francis hasn't met with any victims, hasn't moved to oust a bishop convicted in 2012 of failing to report a suspected abuser, and on Wednesday insisted that the church had been unfairly attacked on abuse, using the defensive rhetoric of the Vatican from a decade ago.
Victims' advocates said his tone was archaic and urged Francis to show the same compassion he offers the sick, the poor and disabled to people who were raped by priests when they were children.
"Under Pope Francis, the Vatican continues to deny its role in creating and maintaining a culture where upholding the reputation of the church is prioritized over the safety of children," said Maeve Lewis, executive director of the Irish victims' support group One in Four.
To be sure, Francis adores children like a father — it's on display every Wednesday during his general audience — and he has continued to defrock pedophile priests. But unlike Pope Benedict XVI, he rarely has spoken out about abuse, indicating it clearly has not been a priority in his first year as pope.
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, firstname.lastname@example.com)
The pope said he is "offended." Apparently, he's not really offended by Catholic officials who transfer predators and keep secrets and endanger kids. He's offended by the "hype" around his papacy.
We feel the same way, even more now that he has shown his 'true colors' on the church's on-going clergy sex abuse and cover up crisis.
The Associate Press reports that:
"Pope Francis is coming under increasing criticism that he doesn't get it on sex abuse. Three months after the Vatican announced a commission of experts to study best practices on protecting children, no action has been taken, no members appointed, no statute outlining the commission's scope approved.
Francis hasn't met with any victims, hasn't moved to oust a bishop convicted of failing to report a problem priest, and on Wednesday insisted that the church had been unfairly attacked on abuse, using the defensive rhetoric of the Vatican from a decade ago."
When he says that abuse has left "very deep wounds" on victims, the pope is deliberately framing the scandal as something that's largely in the past – by focusing on already hurt victims, not on still-vulnerable children. This is good public relations but it's not reality. While many clergy sex crimes have been disclosed in the West, far fewer cover ups have been, and little of either has been disclosed in the developing world. No matter how hard Catholic officials may try to depict this scandal as "in the past," it's very much a part of the church right now.
Inadvertently, Pope Francis has done our movement to protect children a service. For months, many have assumed he would sooner or later get around to taking action to safeguard the vulnerable in the church. Over and over, we heard well-meaning Catholics and commentators say "Give him time, he's new," "He's improving Vatican governance first," "He's got to tackle internal leaks first," "Streamlining church bureaucracy is his top priority," and "He can't do everything at once."
Now, there's more clarity and less doubt about his intentions on abuse. He's willing to discuss change in several parts of the church. But not when it comes to pedophile priests and complicit bishops.
Many consider the pope as a moral authority. He says that only the Catholic Church has been attacked on abuse. If he honestly believes that other institutions are dealing with abuse in reckless ways, we would welcome him exposing and denouncing them.
On a personal level, as a parent, and the brother of a predator priest, I am very upset by Pope Francis' comments. My brothers (three of them) and I became victims of child sex crimes because a Catholic prelate (Bishop Michael McAuliffe) sent a predator priest (Fr. John Whiteley) to our parish with no warning.
Fr. John was extraordinarily shrewd. And my parents were taught, since birth, by the church they love, to trust clerics. My parents could not have known he was molesting us. So for the pope to imply that parents are to blame for most abuse disgusts me.
Finally, we're saddened to read the AFP report that "Looking back over his first 12 months, the 77-year-old said the one thing he would change would be to tone down the near-mythical status he has acquired in some circles."
We wish his regret was not cooperating with prosecutors who want an accused child molesting Polish archbishop extradited. Or not cooperating with United Nations officials who asked for information on clergy sex cases. Or not demoting convicted Missouri bishop who enabled a child molesting cleric to hurt more kids while he hid evidence from police. Or not ordering bishops to report suspected child sex crimes to secular authorities, no matter if they are mandated to do so or not. Or having met with Cardinal Roger Mahony in January or Cardinal Bernard Law last March. Or having promised an abuse commission more than three months ago but failing to set it up yet. Or not disbanding the scandal-ridden Legion of Christ. Or not pushing for updated and stronger secular child safety laws. The list goes on and on.
In his most recent audience, the pope explained that Lent is a time for "a turnaround," to convert and change for the better. We have little optimism that he will change his church's long-standing, deeply-rooted and extremely hurtful approach to those who commit and conceal heinous sexual violence against kids.

Dear Dr. Gott: In my mid-40s, I began experiencing knee pain and buckling. My doctor told me it was probably arthritis. The pain then started to move to other areas of my body.
I am now 50 and have just been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and several herniated and bulging discs after an MRI of my spine.
I have pain down my legs into my feet and am unable to bend my legs sometimes. I received a spinal injection, but it didn't work. I experienced extreme pain in the joints of my fingers, wrists, hips, neck and legs. My two pinky fingers have bent inward, and I can no longer straighten them. I have seen a neurologist, who said I have nerve damage. I have even experienced severe needlelike sticks in my skin and am totally exhausted.
Is all of this really the result of arthritis?
Dear Reader: I believe most of your symptoms are directly due to the ankylosing spondylitis. There is one, however, that I am unsure of - the needlelike skin pain. Before I go into that, I would like to take the opportunity to explain first about this form of inflammatory arthritis.
Ankylosing spondylitis is truly arthritis, but it is more related to rheumatoid arthritis than osteo- or age-related arthritis. It primarily affects the spine but can also occur in the ribs, hips, shoulders, feet and eyes. It affects other joints less commonly.
As the inflammation persists and the condition worsens, new bone begins to form as the body attempts to heal itself. This can cause restricted movement, stiffness, inflexibility, bone outgrowths and more. If the ribs are affected, it can reduce lung capacity, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms vary with the severity of the ankylosing spondylitis. Early signs often include pain and stiffness of the lower back and hips, usually after periods of inactivity, such as in the morning after sleeping all night. Over time, this feeling may progress up the spine and into the shoulders or down into the knees and feet.
Advanced symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, iritis (eye inflammation), stooping, restricted expansion of the ribs and chest, bowel inflammation and more. There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis, but there are some treatments that can alleviate symptoms.
There are several types of medications to reduce inflammation, pain and joint damage. Some, such as Aleve, are available over the counter. Others, such as prednisone, are available by prescription.
Physical therapy may provide pain relief and improve flexibility. By keeping the joints active, it can reduce or prevent inappropriate new bone growth, allowing for fuller range of motion.
Surgery is not commonly performed, but for those with severe joint damage or deformities, repair or replacement might be necessary.
I urge you to make an appointment with a rheumatologist, who will be your best resource for more information and treatment.
Write to Dr. Gott, c/o NEA-United Media, 200 Madison Ave., Fourth Floor, New York, N.Y. 10016.

Based on kernel version 4.3. Page generated on 2015-11-02 12:50 EST.
1 2 LED handling under Linux 3 ======================== 4 5 In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from 6 userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the 7 LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness 8 of the LED (taking a value 0-max_brightness). Most LEDs don't have hardware 9 brightness support so will just be turned on for non-zero brightness settings. 10 11 The class also introduces the optional concept of an LED trigger. A trigger 12 is a kernel based source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or 13 complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into 14 existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, 15 nand-disk and sharpsl-charge triggers. With led triggers disabled, the code 16 optimises away. 17 18 Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific 19 parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example. 20 The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between 21 LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can 22 be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds. 23 You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer 24 trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will 25 also disable the timer trigger. 26 27 You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler 28 is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/<device>/trigger). Trigger specific 29 parameters can appear in /sys/class/leds/<device> once a given trigger is 30 selected. 31 32 33 Design Philosophy 34 ================= 35 36 The underlying design philosophy is simplicity. LEDs are simple devices 37 and the aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality 38 as possible. Please keep this in mind when suggesting enhancements. 39 40 41 LED Device Naming 42 ================= 43 44 Is currently of the form: 45 46 "devicename:colour:function" 47 48 There have been calls for LED properties such as colour to be exported as 49 individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much 50 overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme 51 above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed. If sections 52 of the name don't apply, just leave that section blank. 53 54 55 Hardware accelerated blink of LEDs 56 ================================== 57 58 Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To 59 support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the 60 blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). To set an LED to blinking, 61 however, it is better to use the API function led_blink_set(), as it 62 will check and implement software fallback if necessary. 63 64 To turn off blinking again, use the API function led_brightness_set() 65 as that will not just set the LED brightness but also stop any software 66 timers that may have been required for blinking. 67 68 The blink_set() function should choose a user friendly blinking value 69 if it is called with *delay_on==0 && *delay_off==0 parameters. In this 70 case the driver should give back the chosen value through delay_on and 71 delay_off parameters to the leds subsystem. 72 73 Setting the brightness to zero with brightness_set() callback function 74 should completely turn off the LED and cancel the previously programmed 75 hardware blinking function, if any. 76 77 78 Known Issues 79 ============ 80 81 The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions 82 would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue 83 compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The 84 rest of the LED subsystem can be modular. 85 86 87 Future Development 88 ================== 89 90 At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED. 91 There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a 92 particular LED (ACPI?). The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver 93 should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the 94 current interface.

I have heard the phrase "feeding the dragon" used to describe pouring time, resources, and energy into a situation that is self-perpetuating, caught in a positive feedback loop with negative consequences, or is growing out of control because of actions being taken. I think "giving a mouse a cookie" has similar meaning but with much less harsh connotations. Searches for the phrase online reveals many hits on Chinese economics and references to another phrase, "chasing the dragon" none of which shed some light on the meaning of "feeding the dragon". I have not been able to find much else. What is the etymology of this phrase?

I would interpret the phrase as a derivation of to feed the beast. The earliest Google Books results for this phrase refer to the literal feeding of animals, but by 1900 we have uses such as
in reference to keeping a potentially beastly person happy, or of subduing the beast within, representing the savage instincts of humanity that ration and civilization keep in check. That phrase may have originated in translations of Plato's Republic:
To feed the beast, then, is to surrender to something wild and uncontrollable. Perhaps you feed it just enough to stay quiet, hoping to tame it— but perhaps you indulge it, to make it stronger and more vicious (not unlike adding fuel to the fire).
You see results relating to China because the dragon is a synecdoche for China, which is being viewed as a metaphorical beast in some way (after all, feeding the panda or feeding the crane is not nearly as threatening). Similarly, you see uses like feed the bear for indulging Russia. To starve the beast is to end one's obeisance to the beast, enduring the consequences, in hopes of being freed of it; for fiscal conservatives, for example, to starve the beast is to deprive the government of revenue under the theory that it would force the government to reduce spending.
Chasing the dragon similarly uses a dragon to represent China, but is an unrelated phrase. It may refer to competing with China, or it may mean an impossible pursuit, or something else; it is hard to say without context.
The phrase appears to be a straightforward metaphor, as Dispensador observes. One early instance where the dragon really is a dragon occurs in Karl Stieler, Hans Wachenhusen, and Friedrich Hacklander, The Rhine From Its Source to the Sea (1878):
But the phrase "feed the dragon" has been used metaphorically even earlier. From "The Substitute" in The St. James Magazine and United Empire Review (December 1863 to March 1864):
The dragon here is a destructive engine that requires constant refreshment of human (and monetary) fuel, but is so fearsome that people take the path of least resistance in dealing with it. A one-word term for this policy might be appeasement, though there is some irony in applying that term (in this instance) to feeding a dragon of war, rather than to feeding a dragon against whom we fear to go to war.
Similarly, from "The Magical Cure," in The Health Reformer (May 1871):
In this case, the dragon is internal: an unhealthful combination of diet and inactivity.
In regards to Chinese economics, the meanings behind feeding the dragon and chasing the dragon refer to China as a dragon, its mythological mascot of sorts. When referring to China as a dragon, I feel it appropriate to capitalize the D. Feeding the Dragon would be aiding China's economy by giving it business and chasing the Dragon would be following in its footsteps, aspiring to the greatness that the country has achieved. You could take this further and say poke the Dragon for anything that would possibly agitate politicians or the military of the country, like if the US were to do nuclear weapons testing in the East China Sea for some inconceivable reason.
To actually go back to your initial question, feeding the dragon in the context of pouring time, energy, and money into something that keeps needing it, I would say that the etymology of the idiom comes purely from the connotations dragon has. As far as I am aware, within the cultures where English is spoken natively and dragons are part of the folklore, they are always fierce, brutish creatures. Feeding one of these dragons would only make it grow to be more fearsome. Someone with a drug addiction going off to do more of that very same drug would surely be feeding the dragon in that sense, cementing the extent of their addiction and making it harder to let go.
Maybe I'm thinking too bluntly, but there probably isn't more to the saying than that.
The etymology seems to be related to morality:
Dragonism is defined as "unremitting watchfulness" and there is a historical reference in clergyman Joshua Lacy Wilson's Episcopal Methodism; or Dragonism Exhibited (1811)
Wilson, a Presbyterian clergyman, and professor of "moral philosophy and logic" campaigned against theaters, dancing and Masonic order in the above-mentioned 'Dragonism' pamphlet. -"A companion biographical reference work to Who's who in America." Physical Description: v. 27 cm. (1607-1896)
The etymology may be in the oroborus (uroboros, oureboros) or the symbol depicting a dragon eating its own tail. - referred to in the Pistis Sophia (Gnostic text) (3rd -4th centuries AD)
I always thought that "feeding the dragon" came from the opium dens of Victorian England, where addicts would pour more and more time and money into their habit only to reinforce their addiction.
As mentioned in several other answers, "the dragon" part of the phrase came from the Chinese connection, although whether as a direct reference or because the dragon symbol was frequently used to suggest a "Chinese" parlor of this nature I'm not sure.
IT seems to "feed the dragon" is a metaphor for supplying more fuel to that which does not serve us. And yet, a dragon is not a beast, nor is it a negative, it's a myth, a metaphor. Dragon's have power, if the dragon is within the psyche it needs food to thrive to be powerful and must be fed.
We fear the dragon, and we resist feeding it, we restrict the flow to the dragon and the dragon becomes the latent hunger that drives the behaviors, but this is not the dragon, its the result of not feeding, purposefully avoiding feeding the dragon, restricting the dragon at ones own peril.
During our drumming journey tonight, several people had a similar experience with a dragon. All of us actually, and the dragon left a clear message with one to "Feed your dragon".
The evidence to restricting life's flow would unbalance and drive compulsive behavior... as will any restriction. A happy dragon would be one that holds power and is regularly fed and with no fear of being denied what it most needs - it's food.
To starve a dragon would seem to unleash the monster, and at your peril on your own head be it.

Naneghat (Marathi: नाणेघाट) is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra, India. During the reign of the Satavahana (200 BCE–190 CE), the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar.[1] Literally, the name nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass". The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills.
The inscriptions in the caves indicate that they are the work of Satavahana rulers who came into prominence after the fall of the Mauryan empire.[2] It is believed that a powerful woman ruler Naganika, the wife of Satakarni (180–170 BCE) of the Satavahana family commissioned the cave, the statues and the inscriptions. Inscriptions in the cave mention her and her family members. Though the statues adorning the sides of the rectangular cave are now gone, the inscriptions still record some of the achievements of the dynasty. The Naneghat records have proved very important in establishing the history of the region. Vedic Gods like Yama (Hinduism) Indra, Chandra and Surya are mentioned here. The mention of Samkarsana and Vasudeva indicate the prevalence of Bhagavata form of Hinduism in the Satavahana dynasty

Got this for my husband for Christmas, and he can't put it down. He has taken my son's DS and plays it when he is not around. He says it reminds him of playing it on the Game Boy.
tetris has always been a favorite game for me but this one game is so much fun to play
i told my friend about this one and she went out to by it on line. its fun for the whole family to play even the kids would like it but its not for little kids but your teenageer would love it.
Everything about this purchase was wonderful, shipping, cost, value of product..Only issue is that since the game screen is so small, it's a bit difficult to see the pieces..but overall worth the money and a super game to have! Would definitely recommend!

Understanding the evolution of multiple mating by females (polyandry) is an important question in behavioural ecology. Most leading explanations for polyandry by social insect queens are based upon a postulated fitness benefit from increased intracolonial genetic diversity, which also arises when colonies are headed by multiple queens (polygyny). An indirect test of the genetic diversity hypotheses is therefore provided by the relationship between polyandry and polygyny across species, which should be negative if the genetic diversity hypotheses are correct. Here, we conduct a powerful comparative investigation of the relationship between polyandry and polygyny for 241 species of eusocial Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps). We find a clear and significant negative relationship between polyandry and polygyny after controlling for phylogeny. These results strongly suggest that fitness benefits resulting from increased intracolonial genetic diversity have played an important role in the evolution of polyandry, and possibly polygyny, in social insects.

Negotiations between the MTA and city's Economic Development Corporation over the relocation of a bus maintenance depot and emergency response facility on 65 Commercial Street have slowed to a standstill, as Greenpoint residents await the development of a park promised to the neighborhood more than three years ago.
"Three years after the rezoning, Greenpoint residents still don't have a park and the interagency blame game isn't getting them any closer," Councilmember David Yassky said. "It's time for MTA and the city to stop bickering with each other and come to the table to keep their promises to Greenpoint residents."
In April 2005, as part of the Greenpoint waterfront rezoning, the MTA agreed to seek an alternative site for its facilities, allowing the Parks Department to convert the Commercial Street location into parkland, known as Barge Park, and a youth soccer field.
The MTA's transfer of the site was dependent on the city identifying and acquiring a suitable alternative for the emergency response facility and the transit depot, though the replacement sites did not need to be located next to each other. The Economic Development Corporation offered five different locations for the facility, but the MTA has refused all of them, claiming that the sites provided were not appropriate for their needs.
"We do plan to relocate the property as promised when the appropriate relocation site can be found," said MTA spokesperson Aaron Donovan. "Our understanding is that the city will renew its current inventory of available properties and we will meet up and compare notes. That meeting has not been scheduled."
In May 2005, the City Council allocated $14 million in capital budget appropriations in the 2007 Fiscal Year Executive Budget for the creation of the open space and relocation of MTA facilities, and the city remains financially prepared to buy the property from the MTA, though it has not been designated in the current Council budget. Assemblymember Joseph Lentol and Yassky, both frustrated at the delays that have plagued the park's development, wrote MTA Commissioner Dale Hemmerdinger last month inquiring about the status of the proposed park site.
"As of yet I have not heard a response from Mr. Hemmerdinger about 65 Commercial, but it is high time that the MTA honored their promise to this community and it is my sincere hope that Mr. Hemmerdinger will do the right thing by this community and make [the site] a priority. If I don't hear from them soon, I will be pursuing the issue further," said Lentol.

Politics Equal Opportunity Offender
Yesterday, I sternly held Weyerhaeuser accountable for donations it made to The Speakers Roundtable, the GOP PAC that financed the recent sleazy and misleading sex offender attack ads on Democrats. (Weyerhaeuser gave $5,000 to the Republican committee back in June 2005.)
In going over the finance reports, however, I also found this donation to the GOP group: $2,500 in December '05 from SEIU, the super progressive labor union.
I called SEIU to ask what gives.
SEIU 775 spokesman Adam Glickman said his union works with both sides of the aisle. He also put the donation to the GOP PAC in perspective, noting that in the big 2004 election cycle, SEIU gave $92,000 to the Democratic Party and just $22,500 to the Republicans. Additionally, SEIU spent $800K on Gregoire TV ads in the 2004 campaign and another $450K for her recount effort.
Glickman wouldn't comment, however, on the Speakers Roundtable sex offender ads, which SEIU money helped pay for.

I purchased this phone at the local Wal Mart store with the $30 All You Need service plan. I ported my old number and activated the R455C completely on line. The porting and activation process was seamless with no trouble. I initialized the porting/activation process on a Saturday night and the R455c was ready to be activated the next morning. There is information on-line on how to port a number to Straight Talk and this information was very helpful.
The R455C works great. Coverage on the Verizon network is excellent. I have not had any dropouts or static and the audio is crisp and clear. I didn't buy the phone for taking pictures but the camera is easy to operate. The camera zoom works as long as the resolution is not set to maximum and the exposure can be adjusted to compensate for low light. Texting and browsing is easy with the slide out qwerty keyboard. The battery capacity is good for about 4 days with average use. The browser included is ok but I did install the free Opera Mini browser for easier accesss. This was for my personal preference. Some users may find the included browser adequate. I did buy a phone cover to protect if the phone is dropped.
I had been a wireless customer of AT&T for more than 15 years but had became weary of the monthly charge increases and what appeared to be less coverage. With this new phone my service on Straight Talk is much better, the audio is much improved, and my bill has been reduced by half. If you don't need or want a Smart Phone or Android this phone will meet your needs.
Have had the phone for 2 weeks now. It works as a phone, but just has a couple of really annoying design flaws. 1. The backlight dims too dim, and randomly won't brighten when I press a button as it should. I have to move the slider to get it to. 2. The Vibrator is virtually useless. Unless you are holding the thing on your skin, you'll never feel it. 3. After the first alert of a message, it doesn't alert you again. Frequently, there's a VM or Text waiting and I had no idea. 4. The SD card is inside, requiring you to open the phone to get at it. 5. The buttons are small, and difficult to press, and the keyboard layout is only fair. The toggle one, in particular, is a little difficult to use. 6. Music quality is fair. Sound quality is decent. Bought the phone because it's on the Verizon network, and sadly, ST seems to be steering away from that. Coverage has been good, equivalent to my old Contract Verizon phone. The phone does NOT work with the Samsung Kies software
I love my R455c! It is a great phone. I've had mine for probably about 7months now and I have never had a problem with it freezing up or anything. I've even accidently lost it out of my sweater pocket into a full tub of water and it didn't even show up any water damage on the phone. Not to manging Ive dropped it on the cement a few times getting out of the van cause I forgot it was on my lap. It still works like new, I would recommend this phone to everyone. I love straight talk!
very good phone so far i only had it for a month but i have 2 friends that have this phone and are very pleased with it. had to order on .com no longer sell this model in store. this phone is a verizon phone
I would recomend this product to people that does alot of texting and browsing on the internet.
My first straight talk phone broke in half (it was 2 years old) so I went looking for a new one. I wanted a NON-smartphone and for it to be CDMA. There's this model and the LG 505C. All of the stores in my area are out of stock on the LG phone so I went with this one. My previous phone was also a Samsung so I figured there wouldn't be much of a learning curve with this one. When transferring my number to this phone, there was a slight hiccup and I had to talk to customer support. Slightly annoying because I only have the one phone so I had to call from my computer. I finally got it working and put in all of my contacts and went to put in my user names and passwords for facebook and gmail, the only two websites I have any desire to access from my phone. Facebook worked flawlessly. Gmail, however, wouldn't work at all. I put in my user name, my password, and clicked "sign in" and nothing happened. I tried from the web menu, and directly entering every possible gmail web address I could find, Gmail.com, mail.google.com/gmail, http and https, so on and so forth. Same results with every address I tried. I tried calling customer support, which we all know is a joke. The first time I called, the lovely gentleman with an accent so thick I could barely understand him, had me clear the cookies, cache, and history but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working so he politely told me to call google to see if they're having an issue with their mobile website. I politely told him to have a nice night and hung up. That's literally the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard from any customer service agent. I talked to two more customer service agents. One told me that since I had activated my phone less than 24 hours ago (it had been like 12 or 13 when I spoke with hiim) that the browser might not be functioning properly yet. The other one told me that if I want to use the internet, I need to get an android phone. I told him that Gmail is a website listed on the Mobile Web Menu and I should therefore be able to use that website. He read another script about my phone functioning properly since I can call/text from it.
Since I can't get the gmail issue resolved, this phone is going back and I'm going to try to get my hands on a Samsung Galaxy Proclaim. It's Straight Talk's only CDMA smartphone thus far.
At any rate, the hotmail and yahoo mail websites both work on this phone so if you have no interest in using gmail, this phone is fantastic and I'd highly recommend it.
I bought this phone 3 months ago to replace the LG 231C. I wanted a verizon network phone and I was tired of texting with T9. This phone works perfect for what I wanted it to do. The coverage is great and it functions well for what I need it to do. It is Java enabled so you can download Google Maps and Opera Mini. The battery life lasts about 3 days for me with regular use. The phone is a little slippery to hold but I bought a rubberized case from ebay and it makes the phone feel and look awesome. I would buy this phone again.
I don't need a smartphone(or a big phone bill).Calls don't drop,texting is fine,feels sturdy.Battery life is great.
I don't text but I am able to do that. I "talk" with my phone and use my bluetooth headsets.I don"t
need an Iphone . This phone does what I need it to do.
All I needed was a phone I could use to make calls, text, and check my e-mail and this phone works great for that. Would highly recommend if you don't need all the bells and whistles.
I barrowed this from my mother on the way to my son's doctors appointment in Hershy. I instantly loved it and asked her about it. I'm not big on aindroids and i love the slide out keyboards. Its easy and has the screen lock button that i need because of my son likeing phones, and its nice and loud when someone calls. The only problems i have with it are the buttons take a lil bit of getting use too, and i cant find the speaker phone if it has one.
This phone is great for the person who is not used to texting. It's simple to use and has great features like a good size querty keyboard and bluetooth compatibility. Since it uses Verizon service, I don't experience dropped calls.
I like this phone it is easy to use and it is my main phone --I have no land line so I need something dependable
I don't need a fancy cell phone: I only need a cell phone primarily for calling and sometimes texting. Especially like the clear screen and the slideout QWERTY keyboard. This phone has everything I need, and I've been a StraightTalk customer for over 3.5 years - have always been very pleased with the service.
If you want a phone to make phone calls, this is the phone for you. If you want something to browse or read email, buy something else. I went from an android to this because of CDMA dropped calls continually. Well, I haven't dropped a call yet. So that works great! However, I like to text. I got used to touching one screen and texting someone. I never remember having to hit so many buttons to send one text in my life. I am so tired of trying to find a contact by the time I get to the screen to text someone, I forgot what I wanted to say. What a pain!!! The only easy way I found to text is go to the recent call list then message them. There is no way to change the menu shortcut buttons. I would love to put a text button for one of the shortcuts. No option to do that. This phone is prehistoric to say the least. When will this company put the menu screen for the home screen? Wouldn't that just be one less step someone would have take to message someone? In my opinion, this phone should cost $49.99. It is WAY overpriced for the functions of the phone. I just saw an Android on here for the same price. That makes this price ridiculous. Look at the picture of the phone on the ad. Doesnt this look like the menu would be the home screen? Wouldn't that be easy to do? So why haven't they?
I don't necessarily know if the phone itself is bad, it seemed to be a problem with Straight Talk. They couldn't get the phone to make/receive calls. I even exchanged it and got a replacement in person from a store, instead of online. I had been calling customer service and trying to get them to fix the issue every day for a week with no results. Only randomly did they get it to work one day, and then the next day when they updated something, I lost the ability to make calls again. Then after another few days of continued horrible customer service, they got it to randomly make calls again, and then as soon as I hung up, they sent me a text to update the phone again, and I lost the ability to make calls again. They said they their highest tech support people had no answers. They also kept saying they'd escalate the request, and then nothing would come of it. I was really disappointed cause I wanted Straight Talk to work out since the $30 plan is a great price for what you get, but if Straight Talk can't seem to figure out how to program phones to work, it's not worth it! I think if you're lucky enough to not have to deal with customer service you may be ok. But from my experience and from other reviews I've read online, their customer service is pretty clueless and hard to deal with and get any results.
Camera is 1.3 MP so just ok, the more light you have in your photo the better. I bought this phone cause I'm on a tight budget as is most people these days and I wanted the option to have a phone that takes the $30 and $45 card plan. It is not a good phone to get if your thinking of spending a lot of time on the internet. The buttons on the qwerty text board is a little hard to push but you get use to it. No stroage, so I bought a 4GB sd card for it for just a few $$ so no biggie there. All in All this is a good phone. If you want a phone that does it all then better buy a smart phone , if you want a phone for calls and texting this phone will get the job done.
I had a Verizon phone and was with them for several years but decided to switch after being charged overages for a few months when I had never been charged before. I got this phone b/c it was the cheapest one available with this keyboard and uses the Verizon towers. I was happy with it other than not being able to program the direction keys from the home screen (I like to have the calculator, calendar, etc. available with just 1 push of a button not have to search thru all the tools and everything). After 3 months of it working fine I exited the internet and the phone cut off. I tried to turn it back on but it just showed the Samsung logo and the load progress. When it would get full it would shut down again, even when plugged up to a charger. I was told it was defective. Even while I was on the phone in the store I was told I had to send it back to get a new one and it had to be the same model, not even one that's the same price. So I'm waiting for it to be delivered. Its been over a week. I'm NOT happy at all right now. The Verizon phone I have is almost 4 years old now and still works (as a calendar/alarm clock since I don't pay for the service anymore). I expected the same from a phone that is very similar.
If you don't need a smart phone, this is the one to get. I bought this phone for my wife and she has really put this phone to the test. The phone works great and its on the Verizon network and it gets great reception.

ATLANTA (AP) - The sour economy hasn't exactly put the kibosh on all tax increases.
Georgia lawmakers are scheduled to debate today whether to allow voters to sign off on a statewide one-percent sales tax increase that would pay for transportation improvements.
The Senate has already approved a separate plan that would allow counties to band together to levy the penny tax hike on regional transportation projects.

Abstract60344 The identification of fast, bright scintillators is a continual goal among scientists who design and manufacture radiation detection systems. Unfortunately, the scintillator is often the limiting technology that impedes product development and adds substantial cost. Many materials have been tried, but few can deliver both qualities. The two approaches are (1) making small incremental improvements in common scintillators or (2) studying new materials that offer greater potential. This project addresses the second route and will examine rubidium gadolinium bromide (RGB) as a versatile gamma ray and neutron sensitive detector material for a variety of scientific, industrial, and medical applications. In Phase I, several ingots of RGB were grown with differing concentrations of an activator (to stimulate light output). Single crystals, far larger than previously reported, were produced and analyzed as detectors. Both speed and light output were exemplary, with several high quality spectra recorded. The Phase II goals for producing RGB will be to increase scintillator size and optimize activator concentration. Following processing, the scintillator will be evaluated as both a gamma ray and a neutron detector. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: As a gamma ray scintillator, RGB would find use in nuclear and radiological physics as an alternative to NaI or similar scintillators where large volumes and fast timing requirements are needed. As a neutron detector, RGB could lead to a variety of new instruments for material science, neutron radiography, and nuclear security.

Review: Ole Henriksen Three Little Wonders
If you've ever seen Ole Henriksen, you know his skin is amazing. The Three Little Wonders are a trio of basics - "truth serum" with vitamin C for day, "invigorating night gel" for the PM, and "sheer transformation creme" for moisturizing any time of day.
Since I started this routine a few months ago, I have really noticed a difference in my skin! My pores appear smaller, I have a more even skin-tone, and a healthy glow to boot.
Here's a tip: All 3 bottles/jars are made of glass. Keep them in the fridge and they will feel all the more luxurious as they cool and refresh your skin!
Though the price may seem a little high at $65 (www.sephora.com), it's a great value for these three products. A little bit truly goes a long way.
