Aldermen to consider plans to improve intersectionBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | July 12,2013The Board of Aldermen will discuss how much they want to spend on the corner of Wales, West and Church streets Monday.
Alderman Christopher Siliski said that a Finance Committee ended Wednesday with two versions of a plan for improvements at the intersection one estimated to remain within the $50,000 previously endorsed by the board and another that would add some additional improvements for another $30,000.
Siliski came to the board with a list of improvements he would like to make at the corner and a request to pay for them with $50,000 from the Zamias fund.
What he didnt have were cost estimates for the various improvements. The aldermen voted last month to set aside $50,000 from the fund, which was created from impact fees paid by the Diamond Run Mall and intended for improvements to the downtown, for the project once Siliski had specifics.
When City Engineer Evan Pilachowski drew those up, Siliski said, the total came to $80,000, and the Finance Committee had to prioritize.
For $50,000, Siliski said, the city would place new sidewalks and curbing on West Street across from the Community College of Vermont and along Church Street in front of the Longfellow Building. The estimate also includes a new storm drain at the corner.
It wouldnt solve the flooding problem we all know happens there, but it would help keep the flooding off that corner when there are heavy rains, he said. That corner is quite low. Even when there is normal rain, its under water, basically.
Left out, Siliski said, is the stretch of Church Street across from Longfellow.
At least, aesthetically, those cars (frequently parking there) are blocking the blight that is there, the lack of curbing, Siliski said.
Siliski has said he hopes to use the project as a pilot for a program in which the city makes infrastructure improvements at locations where significant private investment has been made in the city. He chose the corner because of the new CCV campus.

Hi, I am working on a site for a friends and she wants a small slideshow of just 3 or 4 images on the home page, images fade in and out with a title and description to the side.
I have checked out several plugins. Front page slideshow is much more complex that it appears from the description and she doesn't want to create a category and posts in order for the images to show on the home page. She also doesn't want a script that will cycle through her posts and harvest images.
Admin panel would be very helpful but not necessary if the code is easily editable (for a non techy person). Would be nice if she could upload images (to a specified directory) and add a title and description upon upload and then it would automatically display in her slide show. Is this possible? If a script exists could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you

Computer Animator
You shouldn't be hoping for much in the way of artistic freedom with this job. Computer animators typically realize other people's visions in two and three dimensions. You're responsible for the know-how and artistic expertise, but it's your bosses and clients who call the shots about the specific details of the content.
If you think the Dalmatian you just drew is a nice homage to your first dog Spot, but your boss decides the dog should be a retriever instead...well, guess who wins that battle? (It's not going to be Spot.)
But you do have power in that you're the one who makes things happen. Not just anyone can create the moving, tousled, scarlet mane of Merida in Brave, or the little green ogre ears in Shrek.
You have the power to bring ideas to life—and that's not bad. If you happen to be self-employed, you also have the power to say "yes" to a project or "super no" if it's something you truly, madly, deeply believe to be beneath your creative power.

The problem of reinforcing local evidence of linear structure while suppressing unwanted information in noisy images is considered, using a modified form of relaxation labeling. The methodology is based on parametrizing a continuous set of orientation labels via a single vector and using a sigmoidal thresholding function to bias neighborhood influence and ensure convergence to a meaningful stable state. Label strength and label/no-label decisions are incorporated into a single functional. Optimal points of the functional represent the cases where as many pixels (objects) as possible have achieved the desirable linear-structure-reinforced and noise-suppressed labelings. Three different linear structure reinforcement tasks are considered within the general framework: edge reinforcement, edge reinforcement with thinning, and bar (line segment) reinforcement. Results from several image data sets are presented. This approach can directly handle continuous feature information from low-level image analysis operators, and the computational complexity of labeling is reduced

Jef Raskin, Father of the Macintosh, Dies at 61
Jef Raskin, Father of the Macintosh, Dies at 61
by , 1:30 AM EST, February 28th, 2005
Jef Raskin, Apple employee #31 and father of the Macintosh, died Saturday at age 61.
Mr. Raskin died at his home in Pacifica, Calif. A family statement said he had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
A professor turned consultant, Mr. Raskin wrote the BASIC manual for the Apple II in 1976 and joined the company on January 3, 1978. Less than two years later, he gained approval from the board for the Macintosh project, despite strong opposition from Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. Mr. Raskin envisioned the Macintosh as a departure from computers of the time. Instead of forcing users to toil with slots and cables, he conceived an all-in-one enclosure. Mr. Raskin also originally wanted to sell the computer for just $500-$1,000, but when Mr. Jobs took over the project it soon ballooned from a research project to a full blown product development that would arrive in 1984 as both a savior to Apple's failed Lisa computer and a $5,000 system.
Feeling squeezed and unhappy by how much of the Macintosh project Mr. Jobs had taken over, Mr. Raskin tendered his resignation from Apple on March 1, 1982. Mr. Jobs and Mr. Raskin had differing visions of what the Macintosh should be, according to Steven Levy, a technology writer and the author of "Insanely Great," a history of the Macintosh computer.
"Jef had an idea of a much more focused machine in mind, not really a general-purpose computer which the Mac became," Mr. Levy told The New York Times. "He had this idea of a Swiss Army knife of computers, and Steve really wanted it to be a new kind of computer which could perform any kind of task."
After his departure, Mr. Raskin founded Information Appliance Inc., where he created the Canon Cat in pursuit of his vision that a computer should be an easy-to-use tool. The device never took off, however.
A strong proponent of elegant human interface design, in 2000 Mr. Raskin authored The Humane Interface: New Directions for Designing Interactive Systems and created the Raskin Center for Humane Interfaces (RCHI).
In recent years, following Apple's release of Mac OS X, Mr. Raskin became an outspoken critic of all desktop operating systems, including Apple's, arguing that they all for the most part resemble what they did 20 years ago and that there's "little difference between using a Mac and Windows."
Mr. Raskin, who was also a mathematician, professor, bicycle racer, model airplane designer, orchestral soloist and composer, is survived by his wife of 23 years, Linda Blum; his children, Aza, Aviva, and Aenea; and his children in all but name, Jenna and Rebecca. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

In the fourth season opener, the Bears throw a wedding shower in their backyard to celebrate Nelson and Todd's upcoming nuptials, but things go south fast when Nelson's mother Doris starts taking potshots at Todd, Nelson invites Todd's estranged brother Jimmy without telling him, and a spiteful party crasher makes an insulting toast that threatens to ruin the entire event.
Determined to solve Dickie Calloway's murder for his new Inquisitive Channel true crime TV show, Reggie bribes Nelson and Todd by offering to pay for their entire wedding if they help him solve the case. Meanwhile, Wood auditions male models for his new swimwear line called "Sporting Wood."
Reggie feels pressure to solve the Dickie Calloway murder when his boss Maggie Dexter (Missi Pyle) insists he be more aggressive in order to beef up his show's ratings. Meanwhile, Wood cuts a deal with the Inquisitive Channel to feature his new swimwear line on all their shows including Murder Time with Reggie Hatch.
The Bears bare all at a gay bathhouse in order to track down Honey Garrett's ex-boyfriend Eduardo (Josef Arellano) who they suspect of serving Dickie Calloway the poisoned champagne at the wedding shower. Meanwhile, Nelson and Todd both worry about being monogamous once they're married, Wood runs into his super hot Sporting Wood model Tucker Fox (Jeff Bosley) and Reggie confronts a closeted co-worker.
The Bears confront kitchen maven Honey Garrett (Brooke Dillman) on the set of her Inquisitive Channel TV show Cooking Time with Honey Garrett after Reggie remembers seeing her having a heated argument with Dickie Calloway right before he choked on poisoned champagne at Nelson and Todd's wedding shower.
While attending Dickie Calloway's funeral, Nelson (Ben Zook) can't seem to muster a somber mood for the occasion. Meanwhile, the Bears question two suspects who both had strong motives for murdering Dickie-- his ambitious acting understudy Theo Summerfield and Nelson's own best friend from college Sandy Quinn (Gabby Sanalitro) who was devastated when Dickie stole Nelson away from her to move to Hollywood and form their Two Fat Guys comedy act.
Nelson (Ben Zook) is forced to deliver Dickie Calloway's eulogy after the original speaker, his best friend Sandy, goes AWOL. Meanwhile, Reggie confronts Todd's brother Jimmy after learning from Detective Winters that Dickie may have been mixed up with the east coast mafia.
When the Bears show up on the set of a TV game show where Dickie's boyfriend Matt works to question him about why he didn't attend Dickie's funeral, the producer winds up recruiting them as contestants when the team going up against the returning champions suddenly drops out.
While hosting a brunch at the Bears' house for his parents, Nelson works up the nerve to ask his mother about the incriminating words she was overheard to say about Dickie right before he was murdered, which sends her into an emotional tailspin. But instead of blaming Nelson, his mother focuses her anger on Todd (Ian Parks), whom she clearly does not want marrying her son.
When it becomes obvious he is being relegated to the background of his own TV show, Reggie (Rick Copp) storms off the set and into the clutches of a sexy but dangerous magazine reporter named Ace (Jared Michael Degado). Meanwhile, Winters and Martinez, who are in the middle of a nasty divorce, enlist the unwitting aid of Reggie and Wood to make each other jealous and serial killer turned reality TV star Cyril (Scott Beauchemin) visits the Inquisitive Channel.
The Bears show up at a local watering hole in the valley called Mugs & Jugs after Todd (Ian Parks) finds out one of Reggie's assailants works there as a bouncer. But their investigation is sidetracked when Wood's off-handed comment about acting more butch than Nelson and Reggie results in the three of them pretending to be straight and hitting on all the waitresses.
At a surprise bachelor party for Nelson and Todd, George Ridgemont fires Tucker as a model for the Sporting Wood swimwear line for fooling around with Wood; Winters and Martinez escalate their all out war to make the other jealous; and Captain Coley gets used to being an out gay man just before the entire party spirals out of control.
When George Ridgemont stumbles across photos of Dickie Calloway moments before he keeled over from the poisoned champagne inside Tucker's gym bag, Nelson and Todd race to a photo shoot to warn Wood and Reggie, unaware that Reggie's would be kidnappers Ace and Gary are lying in wait with a pair of airborne drones armed with loaded guns.
When Nelson's parents Doris and Sherman host a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding at their luxury high rise rental apartment, Doris (Rita Taggart) drinks too much champagne and lets loose with a litany of reasons why Todd is not good enough for her beloved son. Meanwhile, Todd's brother Jimmy shows up to attempt one last reconciliation with Todd and Reggie discovers he has a secret admirer.
In Part One of a two-part episode, Nelson and Todd's wedding day finally arrives, but Reggie's nagging suspicions about Todd's brother Jimmy (Guy Nardulli) are finally confirmed when he spots him brandishing a gun seconds before the ceremony is scheduled to begin.
In Part Two of a two-part episode, Nelson and Todd's fairy tale wedding is shattered by a gun-toting crazed maniac's wild shooting spree that ends with Todd (Ian Parks) on the ground dying after being shot in the chest during the melee. Nelson: Ben Zook. Reggie: Rick Copp. Wood: Joe Dietl. George Ridgemont: George Sebastian.
In Part One of the action-packed two-part season ender, the Bears board a luxury yacht bound for Catalina Island for an impromptu wedding. But it's not all smooth sailing when Reggie and Wood make a startling discovery in a secluded stateroom while searching below deck for the galley.
In Part Two of the action-packed two-part season ender, the Bears find themselves in dire peril on board a luxury yacht far out at sea where a dangerous criminal and a pair of murderous thugs plan on shooting them and dumping their bodies overboard never to be found.
As the Bears settle into their new house, Reggie (Rick Copp) has to break the news to Nelson that he may be starring as the host of a new true crime reality TV show and also finds his first major story to cover when word gets out about the grisly murder of Chunk Studios cover boy Cody Summers.
Reggie and Wood hit a roadblock at the local precinct when Detectives Winters and Martinez refuse to help them with their investigation of the Cody Summers murder. Meanwhile, Nelson finds inspiration for his audition as a small town southern sheriff in a low budget horror movie from the Detectives' tough talking grizzled boss Captain Frank Coley (Tim Hooper).

I think C for Men is outstanding, but would never pay full retail.
regardless of personal fragrance taste, the fact that there are demonstrable batch variations and notorious longevity problems with a lot of their modern releases, the answer has to be a "no" here. ...
I got terrible longevity with this the first time I sampled it. It didn't strike me as particularly distinctive in relation to other patchouli dominant scents either, but I'll give it any try or two.
From your recommendations, I'd get in on a split of Tobacco Vanille or buy the Back to Black refills.
Most people seem to recommend Creed's as some kind of entry level, gateway niche brand...
flouris knows what's up.
honestly thought this was a joke thread when I read the title.
It's £78 for 100ml in Harrods.
I tried this at Harrods on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised on initial sniffing. Longevity seems to be a beast on the scent strip as it's still going strong now.
Have a 15ml bottle of Flou. It's good but not for me. Was given samples of Vikt and Ore - Vikt is fucking crazy, and has a weird vegetable note which I can't quite put my finger on, but it's still...
We could definitely do with a UK version of TPC. Hell the rest of the world could do with a new version of TPC that isn't ridiculously overpriced.
fucking love it freddie! i write "cologne show", second update coming Monday!
I need this in my life.
add Vanille Absolument to your l'artisan list.
usually in a negative way! "this guys (nondescript) cologne is disgusting", and I automatically assume it to be a Hugo Boss scent.
bloody joke.
Only tried what's in the shops and it's one of the weakest/worst "powerhouses" I've sampled.
Xerjoff Homme
Puredistance M
thread has me laughing hard. imagine someone asking what you're wearing in a professional setting - "why Spiderman EDT of course!"
no doubt it's better than a lot of modern designer releases...
you were considering buying a fragrance just to get tattooed?!
i'd go with DHI if she's hot and you wanna get down afterwards/during.
Don't feel like wasting any of my precious vintage juice, and as I'm doing some shopping in town anyway, I'll just use the cheap option of spraying the reformulated tester in the dept store.
From the two listed - AS. Of any available - Halston Man Amber.
Love this one, but I love INTRICATE (basically the Oud line's version of Complex) even more. It's insanely overpriced and ridiculously offensive even hours after application, but damn it rules.
Seems to suffer from the same problem as Roja Dove's Aoud - exceptional quality but too fleeting for the pricetag.
been trying it out some more over xmas/new year. i'm picking up a strong similarity to Tobacco Vanille. does anyone else get the spiced gingerbread note in both?
decent/very good (24 gold)
Been searching the forum for the past couple of weeks in a vain hunt for any more info on this brand. I tried Tabac Royal last month and it was great, but REALLY expensive.
Yep, alternatively, aimed directly at the toilet bowl.
Damn, I forgot about this absolute beauty. My favourite amber!
24 Gold takes a steamin piss over the original 24 fragrance, which is a generic dept store mess. Definitely try 24 Gold if you can.
I'l try it, but have low hopes.
so on top of all the other bullshit, they're selling used product? unfuckingbelievable. mugler needs to fuck off and go to the wall (after I've bought back ups of Angel, Alien and their flankers of...
Buy it!!!
Favourite of '11 = 24 Gold and Pure Havane.
I can't stress enough how good 24 Gold is.
I'm considering buying this as it's cheap as hell in ASDA right now. Does anyone think I should wait until I can find the vintage instead?
It rules, as does the La Gout version.
Yes, but it's still good.
Such a tough choice between Vetiver and Kouros.
I've been waiting for 24 Gold to go on sale and snagged the 50ml on Boxing Day. Shit's incredible. I get a delicious mix of amber, jasmine and raspberry.
The more I've been spraying and wearing this, the more I've noticed an anise note for the first hour or so which adds a hint of sweetness to this sexy, manly beast.
Holy shit.
or alternatively for a fraction of the cost:
Leather Oud is a beast and one of my favourites.
HOT Always and Nuits de Noho but they smell like shittier versions of Givenchy Gentleman and Angel respectively.
Yea this fragrance is definitely in need of a Sport version. Good god.
Check out the recent Alien La Gout de Parfum. It's the salted butter caramel version.
+ Guerlain Vetiver
Most 80s powerhouses fit in here too.
How similar is this to the original? It's on offer over here at thefragranceshop right now and I'm curious. Is it a lighter "summer" version or the OG juice just repackaged?
24 Gold
Estee Lauder - Beautiful 30ml EDP & body lotion gift set.
Buy loads of samples. Buy loads of full bottles.
I know women apparently love this, but women also like Twilight and going to the bathroom with their friends. When I first got into fragrances I thought this smelled classy but god knows what I was...
Fantastic fragrance.
Not in my collection, but Blood Concept AB wins this contest by a country mile. Goddamn.
Not tried this but being a Bogart, I have high expectations.
I don't work in a standard office environment, but if I did probably Grey Vetiver or Dior Homme would be the ones I'd reach for if I was in a rush and couldn't be bothered deliberating.
Benetton - Colors Man
Tom Ford - Tobacco Vanille 5ml decant
This is on my "to buy" list.
Don't layer fragrances but I occasionally layer single note perfume oil with a scent on top.
Francesco Smalto - Pour Homme
Gres - Cabochard
Balenciaga - Portos
Cuir de Lancome
Love it.
This one is closer than all mentioned: Armani Prive - La Femme Bleue. It's like a perfect mix of DH and DHI, but takes a slightly more feminine turn towards the drydown. It's also grossly...
Going by the other scents you've listed, I think you'll like BK a lot more. I personally live New West a lot, but it took some time to win me over.
a 50ml ended for v cheap on ebay last week and I forgot to bid! just gotta bide my time.
Their sprayers are really good though.
Let me be emphatic: the liquid in 95% of Creed's bottles is shit.
Those that are any good are either released once a decade and cost as much as China's GDP or they have comparable designer...
Got a pic of this Munich guy? I'm sure a few guys here would be interested to see.
First time I sprayed it - it reminded me of my dad. (I blame my weak, untrained nose).
Now I own a FB and love it, but wish it lasted longer/projected more past the first 20 minutes.
much cheaper in america than it is in europe...from a european brand, posting from europe. annoying.
Damn, I had considered a blind buy of this (no shops sell it over here from what I can tell) as I heard it was a powerhouse. But being in the vein of those two crappy "fresh" scents has put me off....
Liked it the first time I tried it. Tried it again and came the closest I've ever come to gagging on a scent. It's got that harsh as fuck metallic note which I also get in Secretions. Good god I...
You could've removed "aventus" from your thread title and this still would be the truest thread in basenotes history.
Pole Position
any one from rose/iris/vetiver
All 5 of your poll list are incredible.
Zara For Him is a cheap designer frag with a gorgeous coffee note.
when you wear ARAMIS?
It's my SOTD and I'll be damned if I'm not living like Rick Ross right now
Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's ok and unfortunately get nothing but linear burnt coffee throughout.
I was watching that one. Good win there. What are the longevity and projection like?
5 sprays of black afgano
Amber superfan right here but I'm annoyingly yet to try this.
I've not had a chance to sample this bad boy yet but have seen it described as a "mix of dried fruits and sandalwood". With that in mind, is it comparable to the beautiful beast that is EGOISTE?
Agreed, maybe also try Xerjoff Homme.
A few of the exclusives are awesome and well worth waiting for.
Just ordered a decant of TV so will probably be that.
Excellent choices ChuckW. To those I could honourably mention Shalimar, DHI and Angel.
Not bad. I wish this was available at ASDA/Tesco like the original 24 for men (heavily discounted). I like 24 Gold and it's still kinda cheap at £24.95 for 50ml, but I don't know if I'll pay that.
Selfridges in London.
The house direct (works out cheapest for Tauer frags amongst others)
Leather oud
This is a perfect example of The Thank You Economy in action. 10 years ago, hedonist may have just told a couple of close mates about this poor customer services and le labo wouldn't have worried...
Definition is very sweet and synthetic smelling.
Always thought Fleur du Male was v.similar.

The women know what they're doing here, they just seem to do the same thing repeatedly. It's all simply filmed,
in rather drab surroundings. The women range from the bleached blonde, well-maintained Sarah, to the more ample-bodied, hairy-bushed veronica. All in all, it's pretty drab stuff, if only because most of the scenes pick about one position and hold it.
Sarah is rather striking, sucking down the meat with relish before engaging in some anal play. Veronica, with her huge tits swinging, enjoys the attention paid to her hairy snatch; if only there was some variety to the positioning.
Karma with her two suitors has a bit more variety, but she's so relaxed in her enjoyment that it's hard to establish any real heat or fire. Questionably, the whole thing ends with a very young, good-looking California blonde getting fucked by four guys. We're not sure what she's doing in this collection of older women, as she looks like their daughter. Or granddaughter.

Utah Catholic schools buck national trends, keep thriving
While local schools have had to adjust to shrinking numbers, those who work for them are positive about their future.
"I'm going to say positively we will still be here," said Kathleen Lemmert, secretary of Christ Lutheran School in Murray, who has been with the school for 18 years.
Future remains bright
Education is one of the missions of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, which means all parishes donate a portion of their revenues toward education, even parishes without Catholic schools nearby.
Even with some money from the diocese, all Catholic schools are responsible for the bulk of their costs. Utah's Catholic schools are primarily funded through tuition and fundraising.
Some of Utah's Catholic schools are struggling to remain fully occupied, she said, especially those that only serve one parish. This wasn't the case 25 years ago when most of the schools were filled to capacity with people on waiting lists.
The schools are selective in who can be admitted and tend to have an academic focus; in recent years, local schools have begun admitting those with low to moderate learning disabilities, Sister Kamphaus said.
On average, 25 percent of Utah's Catholic school students adhere to other faiths like Judaism, Buddhism, and Mormonism. Parent surveys for schools in the state show that most are drawn to the school first by the academics, second by the safe environment and third by the faith-based atmosphere, Sister Kamphaus said.
For Cindy Lowder, who enrolled her three sons in St. Joseph Catholic Schools in Ogden, the appeal lies in the school's cohesion.
"It's more than a community. It's more like a family," she said.
Lowder, also a graduate of St. Joseph's, said she appreciates how the teachers take one-on-one time to teach and tutor the students.
"Those teachers want to be there," she said. "It's a huge sacrifice, and I think it's something that everyone has to choose."
Although Catholic school teachers receive a "thinner wage" than some of their teaching peers, they have been able to help students achieve educational excellence, Russell said.
School choice gives families many options, and that often means transfers from one school to another.
"It was a nice experience. It just didn't meet our expectations academically," said Jon Fletcher, who at one point had all of his children attending St. John the Baptist or itssister school Juan Diego High School in Utah, but made a change.
He said his family moved from Boston five years ago and, after spending time at another private school in Utah, their children were enrolled in Catholic schools. Although he was able to afford the cost of the school, he said he didn't think they were getting the value out of the money they spent on tuition. He said he was also disappointed that the local parish and school did not have a closer relationship.
He moved all of his children to Draper Park Middle, a local public school, with the exception of his oldest daughter who is at the University of Utah as part of an early enrollment program and taking a final theology class during her senior year at Juan Diego.
Aquilla said she is happy with the academics at St. John the Baptist and notes there are two teachers per class for most of the day, a full-day kindergarten and assignments that continue through the summer.
"Are there better private schools out there? I'm sure there is," she said, but she is happy with how the school promotes faith and involves families.

Driver speaks out on deadly DUI crash that killed two women
Family, friends remember victims during memorial
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A Bakersfield man involved in a deadly weekend DUI crash speaks out from behind bars as he recounts the incident that left two women dead. The fatal crash also left a third woman seriously injured.
Monday evening, family and friends gathered to remember the victims and show support for the young woman who survived the crash.
More than one hundred people came to pay tribute, leaving flowers, pictures and messages.
From the Kern County Jail, Dontrell Collins says the weekend wreck he is accused of causing is now all a blur.
"Something told me to put the pedal to the metal. I don't remember nothing from that night," he said.
The crash happened on the intersection of Rosedale Highway and Verdugo Lane. Investigators say Collins who was determined at the scene to be driving under the influence of alcohol slammed into a vehicle carrying three women.
"When all this stuff happened, I wasn't in my right state of mind. Something controlled me to go. Whatever I did, I didn't even know that I did it," said Collins.
Collins admits to 23ABC he was drinking, but only had two beers. He didn't know the women involved or how fast he was going.
"She was probably the sweetest person I ever met in my life," said a family member.
Family and friends gathered at the intersection where Pavinder Claire and Jackie Kvasnicka died. Loved ones say the women worked at Kern Schools Federal Credit Union and were coming home from a Blaze game when they were hit from behind.
"This is devastating. Words can't describe," the family member said.
A good Samaritan helped pull 20-year-old Jessica Magee from the wreckage. She sustained serious burns and was transported to a local hospital. Family members say she went into surgery Monday morning and continues to recover tonight.
"You don't drink and drive. You know, you changed a lot of family's lives. You changed our lives even though my niece is still here. You changed two of the family's lives and actually a whole bunch of other lives because they had friends, cousins, acquaintances. He changed a lot of people's lives so, whatever he gets, he deserves. I hope it's the max," said Fred Jones, uncle of the victim.
Collins is being charged with two counts of second degree murder and vehicular manslaughter.
Memorial and relief accounts have been set up for the victims of the crash.

The New York Post
NEW YORK — Those high-tech license-plate readers mounted on NYPD patrol cars are helping cops recover hundreds more stolen vehicles and put bad guys behind bars, officials said.
The NYPD uses about 100 mobile license-plate readers throughout the city. The devices actively work while cops patrol, scanning the license plates of dozens of parked and moving vehicles at a time.

Reports are already saying that Andy Pettitte is named in the report too.
Oops, used "report" and "reports" in the same sentence. My 9th grade English teacher will never forgive me.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the actual effects of steroid use on a BASEBALL player are -- how many home runs, exactly, how many strikeouts, and how that's different than the drugs that Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle took; or how trying to win with steroids is worse than trying to win with biomechanical research, high-tech composites in your shoes, and so forth; and what it says about the era immediately PRECEDING this one, when steroids were much more prevalent -- and more primitive -- but no one ever got caught.
And of course the coming era, which has probably already started, when players take substances that work ten times better than steroids but can't be traced or tested for. There's no test for HGH, even, and that's old school already.
Fnarf, I've tried some of those methods, aND IT JUST AINT WORTH THE CASE OF FAUCET-ASS that follows. hey, you can reach me via the people who introduced us. Maybe yalk to ya later.
Fnarf, if you know your baseball history then you know that no one took steroids before the 80s because players and trainers believed that bulky muscles interfered with swinging. If the "drugs taken by Mantle and Ruth" are greenies, they're only known to reduce weariness but not improve athleticism.
Since steroids are illegal there's been no controlled study that I know of. But the investigative reporters who wrote "Game of Shadows" found enough anecdotal evidence that steroids allowed batters to swing just a bit faster - enough to make good contact, enough to power fly balls over the wall. They're also known to speed up recovery for repetitive stress injuries. Which is why Barry Bonds peaked in his late 30s, an age in which most ballplayers are out of the game.
Of course the real scandal about all this isn't the players doping, it's Major League Baseball turning a blind eye to the problem. I expect the report to go easier on ownership and the Commissioner than on the players and trainers.
June Bee is annoying as fuck.
Following up to my comment at 5, they should do a controlled study on steroids. Until they do, though, the anecdotal evidence will have to do.
Barry Bonds is the best person to look at because he was already a great player before 1999, he used to be thin and wiry but bulked up like the Incredible Hulk, smacked more homers than anyone in history, then quickly deflated once MLB (who had banned steroids years before but had no penalties or enforcement for the rule) started to get serious about it. We may never find the fire but there sure is a lot of smoke there.
"@6 have you "seen" Bee Movie yet? I haven't. I heard something about a bee who's pissed off and taking on the world. Don't answer - I have a an idea - I may be able to google IMBM page or wikispeedia for the TRue synopsis."
- Will I. Yam what I Yam
I guess 'roid rage explains that Clemens/Piazza bat-throwing incident. What an asshole.
Not a single name they provide will surprise me.
Why should I care any more about whether a baseball player uses steroids than I care about whether an actress has a boob job? If they want to mess with their bodies in order to provide a better entertainment experience for their audience, then that is their business.
I think Baseball should be a veritable performance enhancing drug free-for all. I think teams should have their own labs, and should always be looking out for exciting and new drugs to pump into their star players. And if one or two of them spontaneously melt into a gob of pulsating goo in the infield, so what? Those kind of risks go with a $12,000,000 per year contract....
I put the over/under of 2001 Mariners on the list at 5. Boone, Edgar, Ryan Franklin, Mike Cameron and Paul Abbott are my guesses.
Based on Bonds' stats, it looks like steroids can give a player about 14 extra homers a season.

Any bets about how many current Seattle Mariners are on the list.
I know David Segui's name (late 90s 1B) was leaked. It would help explain his locker room blowup with Randy Johnson.
That's still all anecdotal evidence.
Greenies don't enhance athleticism? Maybe you've never played baseball hungover, as Mantle did most days.
Napoleon, you already have your wish. That day is NOW. There is no way to detect any of the new drugs coming online.
Free Barry!!
Why am I not surprised that Clements is on this list?
Yeah, but no one is putting asterisks on the rocket.
This is all crap. They wanted to spice up the game for the casual fans who wanted long balls and now theyre getting all puritan and shit.
Free Barry!
@3, local derek zumsteg has a good analysis of the statistical advantage to users in his book 'the cheater's guide to baseball.' in addition to @14's point, he's got stats by month to show the user's off weeks.
There's a difference between perking up so you can play the game after partying all night and actually improving athletic skills such as steroids can do.
They can't prove the link between aluminum and Alzheimer's either. Do you believe therefore that aluminum is safe? The same logic applies.
heavens to betsy! next thing you know, they'll allow aluminum bats!
Aluminum IS safe.
Well, at least you're being consistent, Fnarf.
Fritz @ 11 speaks for me.
I have been a baseball fan all my life and will die a baseball fan and
@24, agreed. but wouldn't it be preferrable if they went back to moustaches and cocaine?
The nerd in me--the one who watched Twilight Zone religiously--hopes that it leads to a bunch of interesting (if not ironic) mutations.
The effect of performance enhancing drugs isn't necessarily to make you stronger, but to help you recover from wear and tear faster... in effect, increasing the amount of time a player gets to perform at close to full strength.
For example, a home run hitter may start hot but naturally lose strength as the long season progresses and thus reduce the rate of home runs. But by taking HGH and roids to recover, he is able to continue swinging at full strength, and so the hot start becomes a big season.
As for the report, I think this is actually the tip of the iceberg, not that the rest of the iceberg will actually be exposed, ever. I think many of these guys will simply become public scapegoats for the bigger problem.

I love the Untitled theme, however I have a bit of a gripe with the film strip that overlays the full bleed image. Strangely, it acts as a redundant navigation taking users from wherever they are to other posts. This is NOT intuitive. When I see a filmstrip over a full-bleed image, my expectation is that i will cycle through other pictures related to the post I am reading. This is how I would like it to work (even though I know there is only one feature image)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change this or even hide it?

Jamie Dornan Will Star In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey,' Continuing Our Fascination With Sex And Death
I've been thinking about the forthcoming movie adaptation of E.L. James' hit erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey a great deal lately, not because I think the books are particularly strong, but because I think the enthusiasm for them, and the terms in which that enthusiasm are expressed, get at a lot of important fault lines in our popular culture. The news that Jamie Dornan, an Irish actor best known that for his work on the family-friendly fairy tale Once Upon A Time and the decidedly less-family friendly serial killer drama The Fall, will play lead Christian Grey after the departure of Charlie Hunnam, opens up a new one: the conflation of sexuality and death.
Dornan's two previous roles, on the surface, couldn't have less in common. On Once, he's the Sheriff of Storybrooke, while in The Fall, he's a grief counselor, married with two children, who kills for sexual gratification. But the the parts shade sex and death into each other in ways that put them on the same spectrum.
As Sheriff Graham on Once Upon A Time, Dornan played a darkly romantic figure who, unbeknownst to him, was an unexpectedly sexy twist on the walking dead. His alter ego, the Huntsman, sacrificed his own heart to the Evil Queen so she wouldn't take Snow White's. His willingness to accept an action that, in the real world rather than a magical one would have killed him, is an admirable act that only heightens the Huntsman's appeal, his particular combination of strength and the tenderness that leads him to cry for the animals he kills to survive. And the fact that he doesn't die leaves the Huntsman/Graham available as a sex object, particularly to Emma (Jennifer Morrison), the newcomer to town who becomes his deputy, and his love interest. Her kisses with Graham help him remember his alternate identity as the Huntsman. And one of those overly-revealing kisses ultimately contributes to his death by a fatal heart attack. Sexual contact, in their story, both contributes to Graham's death, and prevents the further consummation of Emma and Graham's relationship.
And in The Fall, Dornan's character, Paul Spector, kills for sexual gratification. That in and of itself isn't terribly unusual, but the show goes further than many of its counterparts to show Paul's victims from Paul's perspective. The killings themselves are terrifying and unpleasant, but The Fall doesn't stop there. Instead, it lingers with Paul as he washes his victims, paints their fingernails, and arranges their dead bodies in bed as specters of aesthetic perfection. Even though the art he creates in preparation for and in the aftermath of his kills depicts terrible things, The Fall has us recognize Paul's talents. If you got rid of that pesky urge to murder young ladies who tend to run younger, thinner, and more brunette than Paul's wife Olivia (Sarah Beattie), he'd almost be an acceptable figure of tortured-artist-with-unrealized-potential lust. Gillian Anderson's detective Stella Gibson provides a consistent reminder that Paul is a killer, a man driven by lusts and compulsions, and her steely confidence make it seem plausible that she will be his reckoning. But the competition between Stella and Paul isn't just a matter of the show's narrative drive, but between its aesthetic attraction to both characters.
Fifty Shades of Grey, a book that's come under criticism for conflating BDSM practices and physical and emotional abuse, is the perfect third entry in Dornan's trilogy, and a continuation of the themes that have animated Dornan's work in Once Upon A Time and The Fall. In E.L. James' novel, Christian Grey's sexual practices are a response to his horribly abusive childhood. And because Anastasia Steele (who will be played by Dakota Johnson), the young woman who Christian propositions, doesn't have the same experience or orientation, she determines in the first novel that what might be sexual play to him constitutes abuse to her. It's a shame that Fifty Shades doesn't draw a firm line between BDSM and and abuse, though perhaps Christian's background provides a gateway excuse for readers who might be hesitant to head straight for the Red Room of Pain without the excuse that it's part of healing a wounded soul. But it's interesting to see the novel and now the movie as a culmination of pop culture's braiding of sexuality and death, moving from the idea that sexuality can have lethal power, to the acknowledgement that death can be sexually stimulating, to a conflation of abuse and pleasure.
The idea that sexuality and death are linked doesn't lead to simply conclusions, whether about sexuality, or gender roles, or previously unexpressed sexual appetites. Sex can be a way of seeking temporary oblivion, in contrast to the permanent lights-out of death, and sexualizing death can be a means of making it less frightening. In that sense, given his experience, maybe Dornan should have been the first choice for Christian Grey all along, the gorgeous face seducing us into the big death, as well as the little one.

I used to sit and watch movies with my daughter. We'd do a dinosaur night and she would choose to watch things like Jurassic Park (only the first one though). We'd then watch something like Land Before Time starting with the first one. One time we watched like three in a row. There happens to be a whole bunch of them so an evening could be spent starting and stopping anywhere in the list. Often, my daughter would listen to the song critically and then try singing it. She would have to talk about her favorite character and would want then to visit Toys r Us to see if they had that particular stuffed animal toy.
Other times we would watch what we called a Bear-athon. This featured those lovable Berenstain Bears but they taught these lessons for life. On-Demand would feature three of them at a time and we would perhaps watch three episodes or 9 complete stories.
Finally, we often would end up with the King of Bears and I have to admit to still loving Pooh Bear and the 100-acre woods so much. We even saw the movie this year but the times had sadly changed. Somehow what I always felt was an immeasurable and deep quality was slowly getting lost. Then we saw the latest movie and my daughter was trapped in laughter again. She slipped the bonds of the teen years for a moment and saw the characters engaged in their silly but endearing endeavors.
When done, she asked me what it was that I loved so much about the show. I never really answered; but it comes down to this:
- they never really hurt someone else
- the humor was this gentle sledgehammer of words, food, and situations
- the woods were forever but they ended at 100-acres
- the characters were richly deployed across a tapestry of silliness, fun, and enjoyment
- finally, and I still get it; the humor evolved through the shows and the times and the characters often spoke in a deeper term than what we heard them say
So all in all, the characters, the dino's, the bears; all trapped me in this alternate world where a 7-year old bounced around laughing, singing the songs, and laughing at the shenanigans that a bear could be put into. Whether the huney bowl got trapped on the head or a life lesson was attempted; the richness stuck with me. Stuck with me. In the
Land before Times.

Hello all
I am currently working on a way for a blog admin to be able to approve blog registrations.
The easiest way I see of accomplishing this is enabling registration, but setting the new user's user_level to -1 during registration. From what I can see, this will effectively make one registered, but not a user. The only thing one can then do is login and see the dashboard. One cannot even edit his user info. The admin can then upgrade a user's user_level to 0-9.
There are some drawbacks to this method.
First, the user_level field type will need to be changed
Second, nothing about user registration is hookable =/ (*cough* devs), so wp_register.php will have to be hacked, and user administration may need to be hacked (I have not looked at hook-ability there)
Am I missing other drawbacks? Or is there a better way of accomplishing registration approval?
I'd like to hear input :)

|At one time, St. Clair Power Plant was the world's largest.
The Saint Clair Power Plant is a major coal- and oil-fired power plant owned by Detroit Edison, a subsidiary of DTE Energy. It is located in St. Clair County, Michigan, on the west bank of St. Clair River. The plant is across M-29 from the newer Belle River Power Plant in East China, Michigan. The first four units of St. Clair were built in 1953–1954.[1] Since then, three more generating units have been added to the plant. The St. Clair Power Plant generates 1982 megawatts in total.[2] It is Detroit Edison's second largest power producer.[3] The power plant has a large impact on the local economy, employing about 400 workers.
A total of seven coal-fired boilers were ultimately built at St. Clair, although only six remain operational.
Units 1–4[edit]
Units 1–4 are 163 MW Babcock & Wilcox boilers tied to GE and Allis-Chalmers steam turbines. These are the four original units at St. Clair. Generating units 1–4 are St. Clair's base load units, usually running at full capacity. The flue gases from those units exit through south stack, which was erected in the late 1970s when new electrostatic precipitators were added to these units. When the plant was first built, there were four relatively short stacks, one for each unit.
Unit 5[edit]
Unit 5 is St. Clair's only decommissioned unit. Its cyclone boiler produced 300 MW, and was taken out of service in 1979 due to a mechanical problem with the boiler.
Unit 6[edit]
Units 6 is a tangentially fired Combustion Engineering dual furnace boiler tied to a Westinghouse turbine. Commissioned in 1961, this unit produces 321 MW.
Unit 7[edit]
Unit 7 is also a tangentially fired Combustion Engineering boiler tied to a Westinghouse steam turbine. It was commissioned in 1969. Unit 7 is rated at 451 MW, originally built to produce over 500 MW. This unit is St. Clair's largest generating unit, but has a small electrostatic precipitator, causing problems with the opacity when burning western coal.[4]
Other units[edit]
An oil-fueled gas turbine Unit 11, rated at 18.5 MWe, was added in 1968. Two smaller oil-fueled internal-combustion generators, totaling 5.4 MWe, were added as units 12A and 12B in 1970.[2]
St. Clair Power Plant came online in August 1953, and was the largest in the DTE Energy network. This was what St. Clair looked like in the mid-1950s [1]. At that time, its capacity was 652 MW. Later, units 5, 6 and 7 were added to meet growing demands for power in Metro Detroit, with St. Clair producing 1571 MW. After the completion of unit 7 in 1969, St. Clair Power Plant was the world's largest.[5] In the middle to late 1970s, the plant was converted to burn Western subbituminous coal. The conversion resulted in lower unit power ratings and necessitated the installation of larger electrostatic precipitators on Units 1–4 and Unit 6. This also included building a new stack for units 1–4. In addition, low NOx burners and overfire air ports have been installed on all of St. Clair's generating units.[4]
Coal sources[edit]
Coal blend used[edit]
St. Clair burns a blend of low-sulfur Western coal (from the Decker (Powder River Basin) and Spring Creek mines in Montana) and high-sulfur Pittsburgh-seam Eastern coal. Blending is done in the coal yard with variable speed feeders. Although the nominal blend is 85% Western and 15% Eastern coal, the exact blend depends on a number of factors including demand requirements, coal prices, stockpile inventory, and unit availability. In the summer months, for example, the blend trends toward 70/30 on Units 6 and 7 to gain additional generating capacity by firing more Eastern coal with its higher heating value. The higher sulfur content of the Eastern coal also helps prevent opacity excursions with the electrostatic precipitator on Unit 7.[4]
Transportation and stockpiling[edit]
The Western coal is delivered to Superior, Wisconsin, by unit train and then barged to St. Clair on 60,000-ton ships. Because the ships typically cannot operate on the Great Lakes from late December until late March, the plant must stockpile between 2.1 and 2.4 million tons for the winter season. Eastern coal is delivered by rail to an unloading facility. Because of decline in production, the plant's seasonal stockpiling of Eastern coal declined from 140,000 tons to 20,000–30,000 tons in 2004.[4]
Operational data[edit]
St. Clair is a base load power plant, dispatched after DTE Energy's Fermi 2 nuclear unit and the neighboring Belle River coal-fired power plant. Between 1999 and 2003, St. Clair's capacity factor averaged 57%, plant heat rate averaged 10,449 Btu/kWh, and the equivalent forced outage rate averaged 18%.[4]
Connections to power grid[edit]
The plant is connected to the power grid by 2 double circuit 345,000 and 5 120,000 volt transmission lines, owned and operated by ITC Transmission. The St. Clair has one 345 kV line (St. Clair-Lambton #1) and one 230 kV line (St. Clair-Lambton #2) that interconnect with Hydro One across the St. Clair River in Ontario, Canada. One of the wires of a 345 kV line enters a substation at the Belle River Power Plant.
Environmental impact[edit]
The St. Clair and Belle River Complex, along with the rest of Detroit Edison's generating facilities are ISO 14001 certified.
Sulphur dioxide[edit]
With its oldest unit dating back to the 1950s, the plant was ranked 74th on the United States list of dirtiest power plants in terms of sulphur dioxide emissions per megawatt-hour of electrical energy produced in 2006.[citation needed] Sulphur emissions could be lowered by using flue-gas desulfurization units, better known as SO2 "scrubbers", like those of Lambton Generating Station across the St. Clair River. Currently, these scrubbers are being installed at DTE's Monroe Power Plant, and may eventually be added at the St. Clair site as well.
Waste water[edit]
All of the waste heat generated by the plant (about twice its electrical output) is released into the St. Clair River. This water is used in large condensers to cool the used steam back to its liquid form. Water used in the condensers is treated, filtered, and replaced back into the river. Other water used on site for cleaning boilers and to drive the turbines is treated in settling ponds where ash and particulate are suspended from the water. The water is purified and pumped back to the river. The particulate is taken to the St. Clair/Belle River ash landfill a few miles north.
