sup klownz? hows life treating u? still trying to get used to this new layout....how u adjusting to it? honestly i only pop in occasionally to check messages now...oh and thx for that link on tale of 2 sis...that shit was long but VERY VERY well written.....put to rest all my questions...now i GOTTA add that flik to the collection
the only prob im havein is postin pics!!,as b4 i cud just copy an paste but that isnt workin 4me at the mo,i cant post pics on peoples profiles but sum times i can post on blogs etc,but even that doesnt always work as it says the size wont work,an i dont really get the browser file thing at the top of my profile either,ive managed 2save a few pics but i dont know how im ment 2use it!?!?!?!?!?!!? i sure hope this fear thing gets sorted out soon........lv shona x
well right now i can't paste a pic on a blog even though there is a option for it now, also the option to have colored text is available to but it doesn't post in color, i really want that feature back, maybe it's coming soon, other than that just chillin with my friends here, sorry about your computer having a virius, i think there are some friday the 13th movies coming on tonight, but i haven't looked yet, it will give me something to watch later tonight, have a great weekend Karl, thanks for being my friend.
You are such a sweetheart to offer to help these poor kittens. As I type this, my own cat is sitting on my lap (hot as it is!). I live in Hillsborough Co, Tampa Florida 33615. I have been unable to find any info on neuter & release programs here. I was told years ago they had one, but it was too expensive. While I personally don't believe in allowing your animals to roam, I have no problem with the little visitors. There is just getting to be so many of them I can see this getting out of hand. I did give the neighbor who is suppose to be watching her property & cats a 15 lb bag of cat food to feed them as I don't feed stray animals in my yard.They still wander over here & I can't tell you how joyful it is to watch them scamper about & play with each other.It would be hard to catch them as they scatter like the wind when they are approached. They are truly feral. They cause no mischief & I figure they are great for keeping the various varmints like mice & snakes around here under control. I just wish they had loving homes like my two baby's who I wouldn't dream of letting outside!

The Free Library will partner with a community organization for these trainings. To that end, we would like to encourage suggestions from all Free Library staff of community contacts and organizations that might be interested in partnering with the Techmobile.
There have been a number of news stories over the past few weeks discussing the digital divide that still exists around the world.
Studies and statistics show that access to the internet has improved over recent years to a certain extent, but that there are still 60 million Americans who have no online access, many of them elderly, poor, and minorities. Another study says that access to smartphones has helped cut the gap, but that a great number of people still lack basic computer skills. Last week, Facebook announced the launch of Internet.org, teaming up with telecom companies Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm, and Samsung, to make the internet available to everyone on Earth, specifically focusing on underdeveloped countries.
The Free Library is doing our part to help bridge the digital divide with free computer and internet access in our libraries, and computer classes ranging from internet basics, learning how to set up an email account, to applying for a job online. Our Hot Spots services and Techmobile also help to bring computer access to neighborhood residents throughout Philadelphia and educate on the importance and value of technology.
Visit one of our neighborhood libraries today and inquire about any of the above services!
Hot Spots,
A few weeks ago, we posted about LiLi, a experimental hi-tech library vehicle from Canada. Today, meet A47, a mobile library in Mexico City that has taken a decidedly low-tech angle to reach out and deliver library services.
Instead of the cutting-edge digital delivery of library services, including digital literacy training, e-book downloads and content-creation workshops, you'll find on our Techmobile, A47 is instead a mobile community center, flexible arts and performance space, and art library. From a description of this vehicle:
"The floor of the lorry comprises a series of mobile platforms giving access to the bookshelves, allowing the space to be re-arranged according to the different activities taking place. The micro perforated sheet surround acts as a permeable membrane that merges the outside and inside, making the space an exercise in honesty with its environment. From the street, one's view of the transparent intricacy that suspends the large solid volume allows a glimpse of the diverse range of titles inside, while also acting as an urban beacon through the night. This illumination — produced by the lorry's own integrated electricity generator — provides a reassuring glow when the streets fall dark, and announces the start of its nightly programme."
Read more here.
Today we're at 25th and Lehigh, serving One Day at a Time Recovery and other recovery houses in this neighborhood, providing access and assistance for people getting online for the first time, working on resumes, and learning about social media privacy. We've just heard about a new mobile digital library project, in Canada, that is similar to our Techmobile program.
Read more about LiLi, a digital outreach vehicle from Fraser Valley Regional Library, in British Columbia here.
This project is Fraser Valley's Library Live and On Tour project, to promote library service and reach deeper into their communities. And also just like our Techmobile, LiLi is loaded with e-readers, a sound system and other digital tools to promote service "through community development, access to information, adult literacy advocay and awareness."
British Columbia is too far away for a visit, so the Techmobile and LiLi will have to keep their friendship online for now. Fan our Facebook page to keep track of where we are!
To request the Techmobile at your event or organization, please click here.
The Techmobile is parked outside the third base gate at Citizens Bank Park, helping welcome Phillies fans to the game tonight as they face off against the Marlins. (OK--we're welcoming everyone, but rest assured we're mostly seeing red.)
Stop by and say hi on your way into the game.
While you're on board, you can register for a new library card, learn how to download "We are the Champions" and other music to your mp3 player for free from the Library website, or check out a picture book for fidgety little ones as the night goes on.
If you happen to see us and get a chance to snap our picture out and about, please email it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Last week, the Techmobile traveled to North Second Street to participate in the Food Trust's Night Market, a "roving street fair celebrating the city's ethnic restaurants, gourmet food trucks and coolest neighborhoods from the people who brought you Headhouse Farmer's Market."
Thank you to Oron at North Bowl, who graciously let us park in his lot. We spent many hours talking to people and inviting them on board for tours of the Techmobile. In addition, we demonstrated how to check out Library e-books on your Kindle, iPad or other reader, and registered many new friends for library cards.
Between the dynamic and happy crowd, fantastic live music playing in the open storefront across the street, the delicious smells wafting about from Philly's finest food trucks, and seeing many old and new faces, the Techmobile team felt right at home. We can't wait for next month! Thanks again to the Food Trust for having us.

Comments On Oct 14, 2013:bought recluse clutch basket to go with z-start Pro on my dirt bike. works very well. very smooth with no surprises. looked a little funny where the kickstart gear installed but went together fine and works amazing! took a high strung mx bike and made a killer woods bike!

Comments On May 29, 2013:I was hesitant due to the price but I have run a Rekluse clutch in a few bikes and know they make a high quality product. I am a thrifty shopper so shelling out this much doe was tough. My stock basket was notched pretty bad so time for an upgrade. I researched and read many reviews of other brands. I am sure they are good but the Rekluse is a complete kit and I know that they make a tough product. It comes with the dampers, hardware, new backing plate, drill bit (for stock rivets), and lock tite. Just re-use the stock ring gear and thats it. Very easy to install if the proper tools are available. For the little bit of an extra cost I believe its a very good value for the money. After the install I thought I messed up my clutch due to the ease of the pull. Nope.....everything worked perfect and now my Rekluse auto clutch engages smoother and faster. Great product. Thanks RM and Rekluse!

Black Diamond
Gridlock Screwgate
In Stock Product Number: 25677
The Gridlock Screwgate by Black Diamond is a belay-specific carabiner. With its revolutionary, patent-pending design made possible by Black Diamond's in-house hot forge, the Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate eliminates the dangers of cross loading. Designed specifically for belaying, the intuitive, easy-to-use GridLock isolates the belay loop behind its uniquely shaped gate, thereby keeping the carabiner in its proper orientation. The GridLock's I-beam spine transitions into a large, rounded rope-bearing surface for maximum strength and smooth rope feeding. Simply put, you'll never have to deal with a shifting, cross-loaded belay carabiner again.

Comments about Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate:
I purchased the gridlock when it first came on the scene. It's a pretty genius little biner. I have never been terribly worried about cross loading a biner, but I always use the Gridlock now. One less thing to worry about, more time to focus on climbing.
Comments about Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate:
I like this biner. My wife likes this biner. The gridlock does what it is designed to do and I'll leave it at that. There are certainly times that I chose a more traditional biner (like the RockLock). My wife likes her gridlock to much (particularly for multi-pitch or complicated anchor set ups because it gives her a warm-fuzzy that she's not going to side-load anyting). She's making me order two more for back ups in case we ever damage one. We use this in combination with our BD Mini Pearabiner and ATC Guide EVERY time we climb/multi-pitch.
Comments about Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate:
Whether ice or rock climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, the Gridlock never leaves my harness. Sure there are other biners designed to prevent cross loading, but for the first time, I own one of those biners that actually works. Next gen improvement: please increase the depth of the knurling on the gate (for those like me who use the Gridlock with gloves). Overall: It works in real life mountaineering, and simply for that reason, it's excellent. slickness and beautifull design are just bonuses.
Comments about Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate:
Finally, a carabiner for my belay loop that won't crossload or twist. Why did it take so long? It's worth having a dedicated biner for belaying and rappeling. It's important and worth keeping it on your harness for cragging.
- Sport Climbing
- Not versitile
- One use
Best Uses
- Sport Climbing
Comments about Black Diamond Gridlock Screwgate:
This carabiner is not what I expected. It felt like it just took space on my harness. It has no other function than to belay therefore it is not very versitile. In my opinion just stick with a normal screwlocking carabiner. I took it off my harness.

More on Yahoo: Packing School Lunches With Food Safety in Mind
"Food-borne illness comes from the contamination of food by salmonella, listeria, and other pathogens," agriculture and food expert Dana Gunders, who co-authored a recent report on food labeling by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic, tells Yahoo Shine. "They get on the food during production and processing. That's what leads to people being sick, not the age of the food." Many foods will still be OK to eat after their "use by" date has long expired, even meat and milk.
More on Yahoo: Harvard Study Finds Food Expiration Labels Misleading
While most people think that food labeling is regulated, the Federal Food and Drug Administration oversees only the labeling of baby formula. Everything else is at the discretion of the food producer or seller.
Widespread labeling came about during the 1970s, long after the majority of American consumers had transitioned from growing their own food or purchasing food from farms and local shops to buying from large supermarkets. "The demand for labels came out of a concern about freshness. They were never meant to be about safety," says Gunders. In fact, expiration dates aren't a guarantee of safety at all, since they were designed to simply indicate peak quality.
There are actually two types of food labels. "Sell by" dates are meant to tell retailers when the manufacturer recommends that they rotate stock. "Use by" or "best by" dates, meanwhile, indicate freshness to the consumer. "For most products, it's up to the manufacturer," says Gunders. "Some may use actual lab tests, but that's pretty rare. They might do consumer taste testing or they might guess according to how competitors are labeling."
In my own refrigerator, a sealed glass jar of salsa reads "best by April 24, 2014." What exactly happens on April 25? When it comes to eating so-called expired food, Gunders and other experts say you can indeed consume many foods past their expiration dates. Just use your eyes, nose, and a healthy serving of common sense.
"Smell the food," food safety expert Ted Labuza tells Yahoo Shine. Labuza, who teaches food science and nutrition at the University of Minnesota says the key to ensuring a longer shelf life is controlling the storage temperature and preventing exposure to moisture and oxygen. Before you toss something out, check out this list of just some of the items that will last beyond their expiration dates, if you follow a few simple steps.
Meat. Labuza keeps his refrigerator at between 32 and 34 degrees, lower than the generally recommended 40 degrees. This gives meat a 50 percent longer shelf life, he says. Labuza points out that stores don't scientifically determine the use-by date of fresh meat, but follow what their competitors are doing.
Milk. Pasteurized milk also lasts 50 percent longer when stored at a lower temperature.
Canned goods. The label generally gives a shelf life of about three years. If you keep cans in a cool place (not above the stove) they will last about seven years. Always discard dented cans. Jarred and bottled goods will also last longer than their best date if kept in a cool place.
Frozen food. "I never look at the dates, I just eat it," says Labuza. Freezing kills all of the microbes that cause spoilage, although food will develop ice crystals (freezer burn) if there is an air space inside the packaging.
Dry goods such as crackers and corn chips. If they have a stale texture, crisp them up in a toaster oven. If they smell "barnyard-y" or rancid, the oils have spoiled and it's best to discard.
Eggs. Place in a bowl of water. If an egg floats, it's gone bad, but if it sinks, it's still edible, even if that expiration date passed you by weeks ago.
Pasta. Keep pasta in clear packaging in a dark, cool place which will increase shelf life and also retain nutrients, including riboflavin, that are light sensitive.
Bread. Keeping bread and other wheat-flour based foods in the freezer dramatically extends shelf life.
Packaged greens. If your lettuce is wilted but not visibly decayed, you can revive it by soaking in ice water for about 10 minutes.
One caveat: Prepared foods and processed meats can pick up pathogens while being produced. Gunders warns that prepared foods such as a deli sandwich or processed meats can harbor listeria that proliferates even when stored in the refrigerator. Use such foods quickly and never serve processed meats such as hot dogs or sausages (including those labeled pre-cooked) raw, especially to small children, the elderly, or anyone who has a compromised immune system. The good news: Cooking will kill surface bacteria.

A new Wisconsin Historical Society website is coming mid-May 2014! See a preview >>
The Brothertown (sometimes found as Brotherton) Indians are descendants of the Pequot and Mohican tribes of southern New England. They united in 1769 when seven Christian and English-speaking communities moved to land in upstate New York. In the early 19th century, as white settlers pushed west, they were forced to move again. With their Oneida and Stockbridge neighbors, they came to Wisconsin in the 1820s and 1830s, settling mainly along the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago in Calumet County. This article reviews the early history of the tribe, especially the career of Mohican leader Samson Occom (1723-1792), a principal organizer of their move to New York.

College Graduate Turns to Thomas Nelson for New Nursing Career
|Category: General News
|Comments Open
|Tags: center, graduate, nursing, opportunity, profile
When Stephanie Barnes enrolled in the nursing program at Thomas Nelson Community College (TNCC), she was already a college graduate. The University of Mary Washington alum earned a bachelor's degree in English in 2007, but the economic slump dampened her dreams of a career in creative writing and speech. "I graduated just before the recession really hit, so I saw friends get awesome jobs and then lose them when companies [laid] off their newest hires," Barnes said.
When it was time to train for a different career, Barnes saw Thomas Nelson as the most logical choice. Her father attended TNCC and her aunt graduated from the nursing program. Her cousin is a current student at TNCC. Barnes enrolled in 2009. "Having completing an [undergrad] degree, I didn't know what to expect at a community college. I was thrilled to find that studying at TNCC has been such a positive experience… I've had incredible teachers who are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that I succeed, and classmates who are passionate about their education," Barnes said.

1. Walk, Don't Ride
If your meeting destination is within walking distance, skip the shuttle or the taxi. If you can arrive at your destination in less than half an hour, and the concierge has told you the neighborhood is safe, walk. Plan on the extra time. Of course, for most women that means a change of shoes. Invest in lightweight sneakers or walking shoes and throw them in your sack once you've reached the meeting room. Think what you'll be doing for the environment!
2. Skip the Elevator
Okay, maybe you don't want to walk up ten sets of stairs to get to your room at the end of a long day of meetings. But how about walking down the steps first thing in the morning? Walking, up or down, burns calories and it's a lot more fun to go down than up. You could also get off the elevator one or two floors below your destination and take the stairs the rest of the way. Of course, use your judgment. If that hotel stairwell seems a bit too creepy, stick with the elevator.
3. You Have to Take it With You
You pros know that starvation is now common among frequent flyers; even the pilots have to run to McDonalds to get their meals. No food on airplanes, or calorie-laden snacks such as crackers and cookies can wreak havoc with weight—and energy— maintenance. So either plan ahead and leave enough time to buy a salad to-go (dressing on the side), a healthy sandwich (get the whole-grain bread), or yogurt or fruit at the airport and take it onboard. Or pack smart and bring your own baggies full of almonds, high-energy bars, or cut-up veggies.
4. A Girl's Best Friend
To us there is nothing more tempting that a donut or croissant when traveling (whole-wheat bagels are okay). Go for eggs in a whole-wheat wrap if you can. Skip the potatoes. And skip the fruit juice. Choose fresh fruit instead. Water is a girl's best friend.
5. TV Time/"I Am Not a Couch Potato"
If you don't have to be at the conference at the crack of dawn, head to the hotel gym in the morning. Even uncoordinated blobs can figure out how to walk on a treadmill. Just start low, setting your pace at 3 to 3.5. miles per hour if you're a beginner. If you've got the energy after a long day, exercising lightly after you eat dinner is a really good idea. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime. There are several good online sources for hotels with gyms or fitness centers: Fit For Business developed by road warriors ; best hotel gyms around the world, from our friends at Travel and Leisure; and another list, from Athletic Minded Traveler, The Best Hotel Gyms in the U.S.
6. You Can Take It with You
If you prefer not to run into the other attendees at the hotel gym, how about taking along some super portable athletic equipment? For a quick cardio workout, jumping rope for 15 minutes burns 159 calories on a 140 lb. frame. Also, consider an exercise band—talk about portable. A quick circuit with an exercise-band can help you tone your arms, hips, back, and legs.
7. The Abs Have It!
Put that smart phone to work. The iPhone's Diet and Food Tracker has nutritional information on 93,000 food items (including items at 350 restaurants), helping you make smart choices while you're on the road. Another great on-the-go app, which may offer some needed motivation, is Go Pedometer. It tracks the distance you walk (that trade show floor must be a mile long) and calculates calories burned from the effort.
8. Beware the Buffet
If there's a choice of plate sizes, pick the small one. Remember that just because there are 25 choices doesn't mean you need to try them all! Fill your plate with veggies and salad first, then go for the main course. Aim for a plate with one-third proteins and two-thirds veggies. Beware of sauces, too. The meat carving station is often a healthier and lower-calorie option than the cheese tortellini or chicken enchiladas.

Look at your cute baby, and imagine the little tyke wearing a high school cap and gown about 17 years from now.
Picturing the child holding a diploma, when he or she can't even hold a rattle yet, is probably next to impossible. But that day will come. And if you are like most parents, as you watch junior walk across the stage to pick up a diploma, you will be vacillating between feelings of pride and utter fear. At that point, your child will be headed to college, and the price tag will be so shocking you'll be tossing and turning at night.
If college prices continue to climb as they have the past few years, by the time today's newborns go to college, the sticker price will be about $37,700 for one year of tuition, room and board at a state university and $98,200 at a private college, said Kalman Chany, a college financial aid consultant and author of "Paying for College Without Going Broke." For a four-year education, it will be about $161,500 at a university in your state or $426,400 at a private college, he estimates. To put that into perspective, many public colleges now run about $20,000 a year, and some private colleges are more than $55,000.
So maybe at this point you figure you will stick a bat or ball in the little tyke's hands the moment he or she can hold it in hopes they are on the road toward winning an athletic scholarship. But let's face it: That's a remote possibility. Should you despair?
Remember, you don't need the entire sum saved for college the day junior moves into a dormitory room. And during the next 17 years, your salary probably will rise along with college costs, so the numbers won't look as shocking as they do today. In addition, low- and middle-income families don't have to pay the full sticker price if they are smart about college choices.
But if you want to make paying for college as painless as possible, you are going to have to start planning now. For the next 17 years, you will have to keep your eye on the calendar. Before children are old enough to get braces, some savvy parents start helping them build the type of resumes that will win scholarships.
Still, don't count on scholarships to do all the heavy lifting. No matter how polished your child turns out to be in high school, the chances are you will have to come up with a good sum of money yourself. So start now by saving as much as you can. Anything is better than nothing. If you start saving $100 a month for college and invest it in a balanced mutual fund that's roughly divided half and half in stocks and bonds, you should have about $40,000 by the time you pack up the car with junior's belongings and head to college.
But also make sure you have your priorities right. Too many parents — especially those laden with their own college loans — want to spare their children college debt. So they plop money into a college savings account for their children, while neglecting to save for their own retirement. This is upside-down planning.
I've heard from many parents who can't retire because they put their child's education ahead of their own savings, and their child ends up finished with college, enjoying a Wall Street or a law firm salary, and is debt-free.
The rule of thumb for saving enough money for retirement is: Start saving 10 percent of pay in a 401(k), IRA or both, beginning in your 20s. If you wait until your 30s, it's 12 to 15 percent. If you happen to have an employer that offers the typical 3 percent matching money for a 401(k), you can stash away 7 percent of your own pay and — with the free money from your employer — you will hit the 10 percent mark.
For college savings, you can make investing easy and the most profitable if you keep Uncle Sam away from taxing your savings. Plop either the $2,000 limit a year into a Coverdell college savings account, or if you can manage to save more, skip the Coverdell and use a 529 college savings plan offered by a state government. Anything you save in these accounts will be tax-free for you and your child if it goes to pay for college. Tell grandparents and other relatives about the child's 529 plan, so they can send birthday and other gifts into the college fund.
Elementary school
Maybe you've been saving diligently since you helped the little tyke blow out the candle on that first birthday cake. If you were making life easy on yourself, you evaluated 529 plans, chose one with low fees and solid performance, and you've been letting the investment experts at the plan invest your money in the manner that typically is appropriate for your child's age.
Are you satisfied with the 529 plan you chose, and the investments you've chosen within the plan? You are allowed to make changes once a year — selecting a plan in another state if you want, or different investments in the plan. Remember, you don't have to stick with the plan in your state, although many states give you an extra tax break if you do. And you can save money if you go to a state 529 plan directly rather than using a financial adviser. According to Morningstar, the average cost if you do this on your own is about 0.60 percent, but with an adviser it's 1.5 percent — a much higher amount that will detract from the amount you amass.
Say your child received $2,000 from grandma at birth. In the cheap 0.60 fund, the savings would become about $6,680 by college if the investments earned 8 percent. The same investments in the 1.50 fund would be $5,720. Try this calculator.
To identify funds Morningstar thinks are best, go to its list of best funds or check out the Saving for College website.
As you evaluate the investments, keep in mind what "age-based" means. With that approach, the plan typically invests for you based on the child's age. Up to 4 years old, the money was probably invested about 80 percent in stocks and 20 percent in bonds. Between 5 and 10, it was probably 65 percent in stocks and 35 percent in bonds. The idea is to increase the money as much as possible when the child is young by using a significant amount of stocks. Then the closer the child gets to college, the more conservative the investing becomes so there's less chance of a loss when the first tuition bill rolls around.
You can lose money in 529 plan investments when the stock market goes down, but if investments turn more conservative along the way, you generally have time to recover by college. Many plans offer conservative investments if you can't stomach stocks. But remember the trade-offs. If you select a money market fund or CDs paying 2 percent interest, your $100 in savings a month would total less than $25,000 by the time a newborn makes it to college.
If you have been getting raises every year, consider increasing your contributions to the 529 plan — maybe setting up your account to move money automatically each payday. Also make sure you tell grandma and grandpa not to open any UGMA or UTMA account in the child's name. If your child is going to qualify for financial aid when he or she goes to college, a UGMA or UTMA will poison his chances.

The Associated Press reported on Friday that some outfit is applying for a special-use permit to build the long-delayed high-rise hotel-casino at the publicly funded Sparks Marina corporate welfare project.
The Reno Gazette-Journal treated it like the second coming of Christ.
Tribunite Sarah Cooper's much better story also hit the front page but not as a banner item presented like a sales brochure.
"Phase one of the proposed project includes a 60,000-square-foot facility that will feature gaming, dining and entertainment amenities," Ms. Cooper reported.
Interesting, except it can't be done. A veteran Marina project watcher pointed out to me that all new gambling projects must be accompanied by hotel rooms. Exceptions are those grandfathered in by pre-existing agreements such as lawyer Harvey Whittemore's controversial and still unbuilt casino north of Sparks.
"Due to the challenging economic conditions facing the industry as well as the tight credit markets, the gaming company said it plans to develop this project in phases, according to a written statement," the Tribune reported.
" 'Once the project is operating and achieving its financial objectives, it is our plan to move forward with future phases,' said DeCourcy Graham, chief marketing and development officer for Olympia Gaming, in a written statement," Ms. Cooper wrote.
Then the kicker: "Olympia refused any further comment on the issue."
Wonder why? The AP story noted that Dave Claflin, spokesman for the alarmingly named RED Development, said "it was premature to discuss a construction schedule for the hotel-casino.
"'It is completely up in the air right now,' Claflin said."
Yeah, up in the air like blue sky and bulls flying.
"This just gets it back in play," Claflin told AP.
The bottom line of this story is that nothing is happening other than paper shuffling and press releases. The refusal to take any more questions from the Tribune speaks volumes.
I smelled a bevy of rats and started making calls.
"It's all about selling STAR bonds," said one expert.
"They want the Sparks City Council to fund the theater and ice arena."
"STAR" is shorthand for Sales Tax Anticipated Revenue bonds, debt instruments sold to subsidize construction and paid by the projected sales taxes on the new property. This comes at the expense of local schools, parks, roads, police and fire protection.
Demonstrating no sense of irony, the Sparks council is now considering a sales tax hike to fund the hiring of more police officers because the department's staff levels are dangerously low.
RED Development had the brass huevos to go before the council a few months ago to ask for public funding of the hockey rink. For once, the council said no.
This is just a way to change the game. RED and Olympia are banking on the standard boosterism overconfidence that has placed Sparks taxpayers in serious financial jeopardy by acting as co-signers on projects for wealthy out-of-state developers.
Reno is seeing those skinny chickens come home to roost. Thanks to city hall's seduction by the siren songs of out-of-state suede-shoe traveling salesman, Reno taxpayers are now sending good money after bad. They are being forced to subsidize financially failing downtown redevelopment projects with general fund money, something I predicted many years ago and have often repeated since.
In four decades in these parts, I have seen over-the-hill syndrome afflict so many public decisions. As long as the hucksters are from out of town and wear expensive suits, local government bends over backwards to hand them public money. Detractors are dissed as Chicken Littles, complainers, whiners and gadflies.
When the stench begins to draw flies, the perps say, "We couldn't have anticipated this." And the taxpayers get stuck with the bill.
City hall rolls over again
Adding insult to injury, the city of Sparks has asked the state labor commissioner not to impose $332,000 in fines against IES Commercial, an electrical contractor on the marina project. The company underpaid its workers almost $50,000 and probably much more. State law says penalties can only be waived "for cause." Unless greed is good cause, they should pay.
The general contractor and the city of Sparks both had an obligation to review wage payments to make sure workers were paid properly. They failed, as usual, and probably will again if the marina hotel-casino is ever built.
The original study on the marina project said that it would only be financially viable if a hotel-casino was included. So far, so bad. The public pocketbook is thus in jeopardy, as Sparks taxpayers are on the hook if the bubble bursts.
City hall continues to roll over and play dead for the traveling salesmen. How many cops and firefighters could be hired with $332,000? How many more fines will be waived?
Stay tuned and watch your wallet.
Be well. Raise hell.
