Went for a cycle today - the Rheidol trail. Gave up half way though as it started sunny but got miserable. Still, it's a nice route & not so hilly [which is a major consideration in Wales].
I went for a cycle since it would be a shame to waste such a lovely day, happened to be in the area of the house we're hopefully getting so I took a photo.
It's probably not your average student place, as it's effectively a little house in the Welsh countryside [where in Wales isn't in the countryside, for that matter], but it's looking really good. It's got a spacious living room & kitchen, & two decent sized attic rooms - going to be good to have an attic room again. Looking forward to it!
The path got a bit steep & the path got a bit thin & the path got a bit windy.
Still, I survived [though my pictures didn't, my word my lenses are filthy].
I'm sure you'd forgive me for overblogging today if you'd also spent sixteen hours on trains in the last two days. Though really, you don't need quite that much empathy, as I'm on a bus now instead. Apparently the train conked out somewhere so this is the alternative.
One minus is that I can't read my book due to the darkness. I can, however, listen to some very Welsh people conversing & that is equitable entertainment.

The Ad Hoc Sea Otter Management Committee has met twice to discuss ways to enhance or amend Resolution 1958, which was originally adopted in January 2011, to encourage support managing the exploding sea otter population in southeast Alaska.
"I believe this resolution states things pretty well," Committee Chair and Petersburg Borough Assembly member Kurt Wohlhueter said. "I think we can take this and add to it or amend it and use it as a model for what we want to say."
Friday afternoon the committee scoured over information in the US Fish and Wildlife Conservation Plan as well as fishery statistics for this area. Each committee member took this information with them to study that afternoon to come back with some solutions Tuesday afternoon.
Committee member and commercial fisherman Andy Knight suggested the addition of two paragraphs to the resolution stating: Whereas the US Fish and Wildlife Service failed to obtain any of its objectives stated in its Conservation Plan for the sea otter dated June 1994 and has yet to manage the exploding population,
Therefore, be it resolved that Petersburg Borough Assembly requests that the State of Alaska petition the federal government to relinquish sea otter management to the State to be managed in accordance to Article 8 of our State Constitution.
Knight stated that he would like to see Petersburg's Assembly and every community in Southeast Alaska send something like this to the governor and every representative and senator.
"I have two reasons for these additions," Knight said. "First, they have had 19 years to do something and if a service provider was given 19 years and couldn't obtain his objective, I would fire him. Second, who of us here, don't think that we and the 3,200 people in this borough would have better luck being heard in Juneau than we have of being heard by a faceless bureaucrat 2,800 miles away that really doesn't care what's happening to us?"
Suggestions that the otter be removed from the Endangered Species Act were also brought to the table along with the request for a clearer definition of significantly altered hides.
"I feel we will get more traction with this if we stick to defining the significantly altered reference," Committee member and Petersburg Vessel Owners Association Director Bryan Lynch said. "Do you really want to get forceful with this, or do you really want to do something that will gain some traction with the government?"
The question of science and sustainable population for the otter was also a concern for some committee members.
"I, personally, would like for us to make sure, no matter what direction we take, that our decision be based on strong science and split between districts and not market driven," committee member and commercial fisherman Joan Koutzer said. "I would like to see good population estimates for different areas, I'd like to see what the biologists feel is a sustainable take and I'd like to see what the baseline population is that we wish to sustain without hunting. In the past, we lost our otters because of market driven hunting and we don't want that to happen again."
Each member of the committee agreed that eradication of the otter is not the objective, they only want proper management in order to maintain the fisheries that have not been devastated by the otters.
"If we want to affect any meaningful change and possibly hold on to a fishery or our subsistence availability, we need to shift our conversation to a group of people that will listen to us on the state level," Knight said.
Lynch explained that he believed that 80 percent of the population of otters could be harvested and they would still be able to sustain.
"I truly believe the viable resources have pretty much been destroyed," Lynch stated. "I have been underwater in these areas and the devastation is amazing. I think it is probably too late in a lot of areas."
The word disaster turned the conversation in another direction.
"I think we are at a point where we should get the governor to declare a disaster," committee member and commercial fisherman John Jensen said. "It wouldn't make any of us feel any better and I won't be able to go out and do my commercial fishing the way I like to do, but it is another point we need to explore."
Jensen went on to explain that the fishermen in this area are maybe 10 years from the total eradication of shellfish to the sea otters limits.
"They will die off and it will cycle back around," Jensen stated. "But, it won't cycle around for us, our fishing life is over. Even if we reduce them back to the 400 that were initially reintroduced, in our lifetime, we will not see viable fisheries."
Koutzer suggested a reduction in permits and asked if that would make for viable fishing in these areas.
"I think it is just over," Lynch stated. "We have to deal with the otters, period. I don't believe there were commercially viable populations of any shellfish prior to the Russians eradicating the sea otters. I'm not defending eradicating sea otters, but we reintroduced something into an altered eco-system and to reintroduce something like that, a predator, is not going to work, it will put someone out of business and the shellfish harvesters are pretty much out of business."
Lynch also explained that a statement has to be made and it will need to be a very strong one.
"They have had 19 years to do something and they haven't," Lynch said. "They are still researching the sustainable population. When exactly are they going to get that? At a growth rate of 12 to 13 percent per year we are going to have 50,000 sea otters around here."
Most of the members around the table spoke of the hope for the ability to fish for the coming generations.
"I feel, as a commercial crabber, that it is no longer financially viable," Knight said. "I go out and do it for two weeks, because that is what I have always done, but it is just gone. Hopefully my grandchildren will have the opportunity but for all intents and purposes, it's over."
Knight suggested that a form of predator control program could recover a fishery or two in the next five or six years.
"There has been nothing done for 19 years and look where we are," Knight said. "We need to do something to save our lifestyles and our economies. If we want our kids to have a future, we need the State of Alaska to help us help ourselves because the federal government has been just giving us lip service."
Additions and amendments were suggested around the table and a new resolution will be brought before the Petersburg Borough Assembly on Monday, April 15, at its regular meeting.

Texas A&M joined the SEC less than a year ago, will host the conference's men's and women's swimming and diving championships starting today and could hoist a league title banner by this weekend.
The Aggies —as well as fellow newcomer Missouri — have made a tough swimming conference even more competitive, and they could prove it beginning today at Texas A&M Natatorium in College Station.
"This may be the strongest and deepest conference championships ever," UT swimming coach Matt Kredich said Monday.
Diving preliminaries start at noon and the swimming events begin later in the afternoon.
On the women's side, Georgia and Texas A&M are the "strongest teams on paper," Kredich said, although Florida, Auburn and UT will be on the next tier of teams "capable of giving them a run."
For the men, Florida has one of the strongest teams in its history and is the favorite to end Auburn's streak of 16 consecutive men's titles.
"There are a handful of teams after that fighting for third or fourth, and I'd like to think that we're among them," Kredich said.
The Lady Vols will be led by senior Kelsey Floyd, who has won each of her 100 and 200 butterfly events this season, and sophomore Molly Hannis, who is undefeated in the breaststroke and is the defending SEC champion in the 100.
The Lady Vols finished second in the SEC last year and seventh in the NCAA field.
The men will be led by senior sprinter Ed Walsh, who swam an under-20 second in the 50 freestyle and finished second in the 100 last month.
"The ones we're counting on are the ones who've been here, our seniors," Kredich said. "
Although the pool at Texas A&M is new for most of the Vols, Kredich said it's starting to feel like home.
"Every venue has its own personality," he said. "Some of our swimmers came up to me and said, 'I love this pool. It feels like home.' We've competed in pools where it takes a while to get to know the walls. Here, there's a real familiarity."
Kredich hopes that sense of familiarity will aid UT's youngest competitors.
"We have a lot of freshmen between the men's and women's teams," he said. "We want them to rise to the occasion."

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — MUSKEGON — Leland may soon have a new item to pack on playoff trips.
Muskegon Catholic Central fans celebrated a 2-0 Division 4 regional semifinal win Tuesday in the same way Grand Rapids Covenant Christian did in last year's win that ended the Comets' season — by throwing a cloud of baby powder into the air as time expired.
"Maybe we need some talcum powder," Leland coach Joe Burda joked after the game as the powder smell still lingered in the cold air at Muskegon Christian's field. "They're in the same conference, so they probably got it from (Covenant Christian)."
The Crusaders scored once in each half to end Leland's season 19-4-1.
"We were competitive the whole 80 minutes," Burda said. "They connected a few more passes."
"Leland actually controlled the game in the second half," Muskegon CC coach Bill Moulatisious said. "They definitely had more possession and more chances. We were able to capitalize, though. And it made all the difference."
The Crusaders went up 1-0 on Drew Maki's goal with 3:58 left in the first half.
"It was a big boost," Moulatisious said. "It changed the momentum there. And there was a goal that was called off-sides in the second half, and I even think that helped bring some momentum to our side. We kind of had Leland on their heels a little as soon as that went down. Leland played a heck of a game and we matched them as well as we could."
Adam Callow made it 2-0 with a left-footed shot off an Erik VanFossen throw-in with 12:43 remaining.
Muskegon Catholic's goalie made 12 saves — including a huge, sliding one on Mike Osorio with 8:14 that would have put the Comets right back in the thick of things.
"Todd Hall made a couple of saves that changed the entire game," Moulatisious said. "I can't stress how big Todd is."
The two teams are familiar with each other, having played a preseason scrimmage against each other and the Crusaders winning an early-season meeting 1-0.
"Todd is a monster in between the pipes," Burda said. "It would have been really nice to get one of those. But that last one, he covered the last two or three yards on the far post. We thought we had one and that was going to swing some momentum, but he makes a big save like that and he keeps the momentum going.
"We had a lot of good chances. I think maybe the first 20 minutes of the game we were a little more dangerous than they were. We didn't finish. We didn't execute. But all the credit to Bill and his guys. They beat us. I don't think we had our best touch tonight, but they came here with a purpose — and they're still going to be playing with a purpose."
The Crusaders concentrated their defensive efforts on forward Henrik Ohr, who now won't have make a decision Friday on which sport to play. The dual-sport foreign-exchange student from Norway is also Glen Lake's kicker, and the Lakers have a matchup Friday.
"(Ohr) seems to be their facilitator," Moulatisious said. "I know he's the No. 1 player of their district. We tried to contain him as much as we could, but he's such a good player that he got a couple of looks."
Leland goalie Mike Farese made 10 saves.
"They probably won the middle," Burda said. "We weren't going to let them win the middle, but I think it was won in between the circles. These guys are moving on, and I think they deserve it."

Entertainment behind the scenes
Robbie on course for another No.1 album
Robbie Williams looks set to maintain his impressive UK chart record this weekend, with his latest album "Reality Killed the Video Star" on course for the number one slot come Sunday which would make it eight chart-topping studio albums out of eight since he went solo after leaving Take That in the mid-1990s.
It hasn't all been plain sailing for the 35-year-old, whose previous album "Rudebox" was poorly received and recorded sharply lower sales than his previous efforts. He failed to make it big in the key U.S. market and has said he suffered from chronic stage fright — a surprising admission from someone renowned for his cheeky grin and apparently indomitable character.
A statement from his spokesman says Williams is at number one in the midweek album charts in the UK, with over 85,000 copies sold in the country on the first day of release on Monday. It is also number one on the iTunes chart in 16 countries, including Germany, France, Austria and Belgium.
That, however, is not enough to stop the questions about his eventual reunion with Take That, a group which has enjoyed a remarkable comeback of its own in the last few years. Robbie has proved he has what it takes to go it alone, but everyone, it seems, wants to see him back with the band.
Robbie wins over doubters with comeback gig
Robbie Williams did himself few favours when he sang his new single on the X Factor TV show, with the former Take That star clearly nervous, some would say positively wired.
But the 35-year-old put that setback behind him on Tuesday night with his first full concert in three years at the Roundhouse in London which scored well with the critics. Both the Guardian and Telegraph broadsheets gave Williams four stars out of five, quite an achievement for someone who says he suffers from stage fright.
George Harrison returns to charts with solo hits record
My Sweet Lord, indeed. George Harrison is back on the pop charts with the first hits package covering his entire solo career.
"Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison," released last week, boasts tracks from 1970′s "All Things Must Pass" to his posthumous 2002 set "Brainwashed." It also includes three Beatle-era tunes from 1971′s "Concert for Bangladesh" all-star live charity album.
Revived Alice in Chains releasing first album with new singer
Alice in Chains, the Seattle rock band silenced by the slow drug-fueled demise of late singer Layne Staley, will release its first studio album in 14 years on Sept. 29.
"Black Gives Way To Blue" marks the band's first release with new singer/guitarist William DuVall (at right in picture) who shares vocal duties with guitarist Jerry Cantrell (second from left). It will also be the band's first release for Virgin/EMI; all its previous albums were handled by Columbia Records.
During the 1990s when Seattle was at the epicenter of the "grunge rock" phase, Alice in Chains spearheaded the gloomy genre with a string of dark, druggy albums. Four of them hit the top 10 of the Billboard 200, including the chart-toppers "Jar of Flies" (1994) and its self-titled studio swan song the following year.
But Staley's chronic heroin problems hampered the band's progress, and it ended the decade on an enforced hiatus. Staley eventually died of an overdose in 2002.

Shabazz Napier and DeAndre Daniels of Connecticut were dominating against Iowa State and helped their team elevate to the Elite Eight, but the Spartans are playing with purpose and still showing surprises with each new matchup as they did with their excruciatingly tense win over Virginia.
Tale of the tape
Round Of 8 Matchup: #7 Connecticut Vs. #4 Michigan State
By Michael Ferro
|It's only Kevin Ollie's second season as the new UConn head coach, but already he's got the Huskies all the way to the Elite Eight. The Huskies are rallying around their new coach in a big way this post-season, but coming up against Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and his squad is a whole new challenge, considering the amount of experience Izzo has in this familiar situation.
|Coach Tom Izzo is legendary not just in East Lansing, Michigan, but around the country. Since 1995, Izzo has led the Spartans to a National Championship in 2000, played for the National Championship in 2009, been to six Final Fours, and earned seven Big Ten Championships. To top it off, Michigan State has been to 16 consecutive NCAA tournaments under Izzo. There's good reason he's known as Mr. March, because as he showed by getting in his own player's faces during the Virginia matchup, he comes to win in the Big Dance. This is his eighth Elite Eight.
|Guard Shabazz Napier will once again be the player to watch in this matchup against MSU, with 17.8 points per game in the regular season, he's already averaging over 20 ppg so far this tournament and takes control of a stacked offense with each new battle. It was another player, though, who took command of the UConn offense over the Cyclones in forward DeAndre Daniels, who had 27 points and a double-double. Guard Ryan Boatright, scored in the double digits, as well, in the Huskies' Sweet 16 matchup against Iowa State and should be watched in this game.
|Michigan State proved yet again that their starters are some of the best in the country. In the first round match up, Adreian Payne scored a MSU record 41 points in the tournament against Delaware. Come the second round, it was Branden Dawson who took the lead and scored a career-high 26 points and he carried that momentum into their Sweet 16 matchup with Virginia with 24 more. Still, the Spartans' offense did struggle at times making long shots against the top Cavaliers' defense, but proved once again how versatile they really are overall down the line.
|The Huskies had no easy task in putting a stop to the Iowa State offense, but they managed to handle the Cyclones fairly easily despite a few hiccups early in the game and late. Iowa State's offense waned in the middle, but Michigan State's offense is relentless and able to battle back from setbacks. UConn only allowed 63.7 points per game in the regular season, and was 8th overall in the nation in blocks. If Michigan State has a weakness, it's when they make mistakes with themselves when dealing with a particularly tricky defense like that of the kind that UConn possesses.
|Michigan State's defense is big, and with big players like Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson to snatch rebounds and eliminate second-chance opportunities, opponents rarely get to make mistakes. The Spartans defense boomed out of the gates against Virginia, but eventually saw a number of nagging issues they displayed earlier in the tournament turn back up. As always, though, they played an extremely physical game and had their hands full overall with the Cavs, but found a way to make it work.
|Connecticut got two huge performances from key bench players in their early round matchup with Villanova, including double digit scoring performances from guards Terrence Samuel and Lasan Kromah. Lately, though, UConn doesn't often have to rely on their bench, with star Shabazz Napier hauling in 20+ points per night and nearly all of their starters scoring in the double digits. Samuel still added 10 points against the Cyclones all in the second half, just for good measure.
|Bench Depth
|On any given night, you never can truly tell which Spartan is going to stand out and make a difference for Tom Izzo's squad, and that's just how he likes it. Michigan State's bench is deep with talent. From Travis Trice and Matt Costello, to the three-point threat of Kenny Kaminski, MSU usually has an answer for any situation. Everyone on Izzo's bench plays a role.

I use a lot of RealMeat treats, and I like the Fish & Venison Jerky Strips for several reasons. One is that these are smellier than the other RealMeat "flavors," so they often keep a dog's attention better. Another is that the smell does not transfer strongly to my hands (as is the case with some other smelly treats). They are relatively easy to cut up into appropriate training-size pieces, too.

Did you spot Harry Styles in Northwich? (From Northwich Guardian)

Updated: One Direction's Harry Styles and girlfriend Taylor Swift spotted in Northwich
9:14pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News
POP sensation Harry Styles has placed Northwich on the celebrity map after treating American girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to an afternoon in a Great Budworth pub where he previously wined and dined former flame Caroline Flack.
The 18-year-old One Direction star may originate from Holmes Chapel but he was keen to show his latest squeeze neighbouring Northwich last week, treating her to a trip to Tesco and the George & Dragon pub.
The A-list couple, who had been touring the north west, was reported to have been seen in the Manchester Road supermarket last Tuesday evening, sparking a Twitter meltdown over whether the rumours were true.
Although some Twitter users were sceptical about "Haylor's" appearance in the town, Tesco confirmed that the singers had in fact visited the store on Tuesday, with one employee saying "I guess Harry has to do his shopping like everybody else".
On Thursday, the couple were spotted at the George & Dragon pub in Great Budworth, where they enjoyed a quiet drink.
Tia Nightingale, who was working in the pub at the time, said: "Harry has been in a few times and I have served him before. The last time he came in he was with Caroline Flack.
"He was really nice and really polite and spoke to me, but Taylor was very quiet.
"They came in and asked if we were serving food but Harry did most of the talking.
"They only stayed for one drink – they weren't in for very long."
The couple was also spotted in Warrington last Thursday, where Harry treated Taylor to cupcakes for her 23rd birthday.

Victoria Barret, Forbes Staff
I write about the people pioneering the technology industry.
So it is officially official: Microsoft is buying the business social network player Yammer, for $1.2 billion in cash.
Now what?
Yammer most likely breathes some new life into Microsoft's business software line. Ideally everything Microsoft sells becomes more social and less static. Steve Ballmer was impressed with Yammer's innovative business model, whereby the company gives away its software free, and gets a some portion of its trial customers to pay up for bells and whistles.
This isn't entirely new or unique in business software right now, but it is wonderfully "viral" — those free customers pay for the product by encouraging other customers to sign-on so everyone can join the same conversations. Office 365, Microsoft's Web version of its well-known productivity tool set, is available via free trial. But Yammer is likely being more clever about getting customers to share and spread the product. There's likely some learning for Microsoft in that.
And yet the largest implications of this deal are likely outside of the two companies directly involved. For Salesforce, the deal is validation of sorts that Marc Benioff has been right. Facebook's model of conversation streams is a fit for businesses, too. Even just a year ago, Benioff was a bit of a rebel within the industry for his tireless promotions of Chatter. It seemed frivolous, too cute. Now he can claim the leadership title. It also means he has to make the next move.
And for that, veteran industry watcher Jason Maynard of Wells Fargo has a clever observation. "Files are to collaboration as photos are to Facebook," he says.
Both Yammer and Chatter are nifty tools for conversations and updates, but basic file management functionality is lacking. It is similar to Facebook without photos, per Maynard. File-sharing software has evolved separately, at startups including Box, Huddle, YouSendIt and Alfresco, along with older players like Intralinks. These companies have varying strengths and weaknesses in collaboration and security. But each touch on where most of us do our jobs everyday: back and forths of myriad document types.
Says Maynard: "There's only so much value in knowing that the taco truck is going to be outside the office from 11:30 until 1. Documents are where work happens."
So perhaps a likely next move for Salesforce and SAP, the software giant that hasn't acquired a social player (yet) is to go after file sharing and collaboration. That likely means more acquisitions and further consolidation in the industry.
Up for grabs, still, is Jive Software. This would be a handy deal for SAP to make. Jive has nice integration into Microsoft' s Outlook email software. In that sense, it is an answer to Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer. And so often deal-making in software is reactive.
Jive's stock has been and now is especially pricey at 14 times sales. Then again, Microsoft bought Yammer for an estimated 50 times 2011 revenues of $20 to $25 million. Expensive is a relative term.
"Files are to collaboration as photos are to Facebook," he says.
This statement is a clever observation, yet that said actual collaboration is derived from "Interactive Visibility" where stakeholders, both internal and external are provided the ability to functionally observe, even to the granular workflow level, the progress of an enterprise thus ensuring that progress forward. Moreover 'Interactive Visibility" allows for immediate corrective action to mitigate enterprise risk, thus allowing for Business Process Management [BPM] efficiencies never before realized prior to cloud based tools such as WebActionHero. Granted enterprise content can more effectively collaborated with, however; Unless acted upon, via determinations provided by Interactive Visibility…..files are nothing but a collection of ones and zeros just like digital photos
An interesting area to note is the lack of acquisitions in email marketing & marketing automation which from an ROI perspective easily rivals social (while rapidly adopting it themselves). What are your thoughts on companies like Eloqua, Unica, ExactTarget, & Marketo as fits for the enterprise software ecosystem?

2012 busy year for explosive disposal team
Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton says 2012 was a very active year for the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team.
The team, which works in partnership with Missoula County, received 36 calls for explosive devices last year, which Dutton says is a significant number of calls. He says the team receives funding from a Department of Homeland Security Grant. Dutton says the largest incident the team dealt with this past year was capturing a man in the belt area who was throwing pipe bombs out of his car.
Dutton says, "You had a crime scene that was 40 some miles long and stretched through 3 counties. So substantial amount of area. We were well pleased to go up and help with that."
Dutton says although their jobs are labor intensive, the explosive team performed well over the year.

Grocery-bag covered merchants plan a Main Street march to City Hall Monday to convince the City Commission to "bag" electronic pay meters on Main Street.
Village President James Derheim is organizing the rally, which is beginning at , on the corner of Main and Lemon, for a 5 p.m. happy hour prior to the march to at 5:45 p.m. The plan is to make it to the Commission Chambers for the 6 p.m. session.
The commission is expected to discuss the meters.
Derheim is urging members of the public who want to participate in the rally Monday to show up with a grocery bag – and write "BAG 'EM" in black – on the bags.
"We on Main Street are being discrimenated against," he said. "St. Armands has no meters, other shopping areas downtown have no meters. Why greater Main Street? Why the core of downtown?"
For Derheim, the meters are a nuisance.
As Derheim spoke with Patch Friday afternoon in front of his shop, a senior couple attempted to pay for parking at one of the meters.
"Watch, he'll try to figure what to do, then it'll time out and he'll have to start all over," Derheim said.
Sure enough, the man was fed up and Derheim went over to see how he could help. The man actually had parked in a 15-minute zone and wanted to eat lunch with his wife, so Derheim proceeded to offer him a space to park and have lunch.
"Due to various signage requirements, he can't see that, and 90 percent of people who park there can't see that," he said.
Similar incidents happen several dozen times, he said.
"I'm supposed to be running my business, but instead I'm running the city's defective pay station program," Derheim said.
Derheim says the meters should be bagged on Tuesday, and two-hour parking signs should be re-installed to allow businesses to breathe and for the city and Main Street merchants to find a permanent solution.
Derheim says that merchants he's worked with would like to see the following:
• A two-to-three hour parking limit "gently controlled" without hefty fines;
• "Dirt-cheap" employee parking for the merchants.
The last point is a systemic problem of the parking program, Derheim said, as restaurant workers are the ones taking up spaces for customers.
"Their employees need a place to park," he said. "There should be parking on the State Street lot for employees; there should be parking on the second level of the garage for employees. The vastly underutilized Palm Avenue garage should have like two decks for employee parking downtown."
Businesses can pay to get a parking pass per month, but for minimum wage earners, that monthly fee could be hefty, he added.
Vice-Mayor Terry Turner wants the meters to go, WWSB reported:
"The parking meters are not being utilized at the rates we expected," says Sarasota Vice-Mayor Terry Turner.
Turner says recent data shows usage only around 20 to 50 percent, that's even at peak times, and he understands how it's impacting local business. "The big concern is that the parking meters are irritating customers, and customers are going to other locations."
In a memo to the commission by Parking Manager Mark Lyons, paid parking isn't hitting revenue projections. The city waives the fee for first-time offenders, so it lost $57,000 in revenue, he said. Also, there's not enough data to look at historical trends, Lyons wrote.
To Derheim, parking shouldn't be about making money for the city.
"It's a service," he said. "It's not a commodity by which you make money."
The memo also shows that the downtown parking paid for by electronic stations is used about 44 percent of the time.
Lyons told The Herald-Tribune that the system should get better through the season:
"Experts say 85 percent utilization is desirable because that means about 15 percent of spots are available, but streets also will not be too vacant.
Lyons said he is optimistic that use of meters and paystations will increase through the tourist season and pointed out that during peak hours — around lunch time — meters in the downtown core were used about 71 percent of the time."
Not all business owners want the meters bagged, as the Observer found:
"One DSA board member who disagreed with that plan, Chris Gallagher, said he was frustrated that the latest request to bag the meters followed the release of city data showing the meters weren't bringing in as much revenue as city officials had expected. Instead of the 85% user rate city staff had anticipated, the data showed a 45% usage level since the meters came back online Oct. 1.
At the same time, usage of the Palm Avenue parking garage has yet to exceed the 15% level.
"My recommendation would be for the city not to do another knee-jerk reaction," Gallagher said. "This was never about how much revenue was collected and was all about freeing up more parking spaces on Main Street."
In the latter regard, Gallagher said, the meters had been successful."
"I saw an elderly couple get a parking spot on Main Street during the Farmers Market Saturday," he said, adding that without meters in place, the couple never would have found the space."

Crohn's and Colitis Foundation provides important funding
By Anne Craig, Communications Officer
Stephen Vanner and Alan Lomax (School of Medicine) have been awarded $370,000 from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada to help them and their colleagues continue their cutting edge research in this often debilitating illness.
Dr. Vanner is the director of the Gastrointestinal Diseases Research Unit at Queen's University and Kingston General Hospital and a leading researcher in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
"We believe the new findings of our research will help patients better understand how pain medications and the chronic stress related to their illness can interact to generate pain," says Dr. Vanner. "We hope to provide new approaches for patients and doctors to better treat this pain."
The abdominal pain is associated with IBD is often a debilitating symptom for patients and can result in emotional suffering and physical disability. The pain can be difficult to treat because the underlying cause is often unknown.
Drs. Vanner and Lomax's study not only examines what factors can decrease pain, but also how, in certain situations, these same factors can worsen pain. This knowledge can help doctors in understanding the pain mechanisms in IBD and guide them through treatment options.
"We are very grateful to the CCFC for providing this opportunity to pursue these important questions and we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of IBD patients," adds Dr. Vanner.

R' Hershel Shachter on halacha changing and Daas Torah
R' Shachter has a very interesting shiur on how halacha changes here. He clearly states that we need to believe in science. He also has a shiur on Daas Torah here. He starts off the shiur by saying that Hashem wants diversity of ideas, this is why there were 12 shevatim, they were supposed to provide 12 different approaches to Torah. This is the polar opposite of today's UO society where there is only 1 opinion allowed.
If you don't have time to listen to the whole shiur on Daas Torah listen to the last 3 minutes where he talks about the situation today. Basically he says that he doesn't think that R' Elyashiv and others related to the Agudah are considered to be the Gedolei Hador representing the whole nation. They are certainly big talmidei chachamim and gedolei torah but they are not "the Gedolei Hador" representing the nation and therefore there is no chiyuv on any individual to listen to them unless they are that person's rebbe. You need to listen to your Rebbe/Rav.

R. Kelly's new album Black Panties is streaming now on ItemVN. It will come out officially on December 10th.
Earlier this year, Kelly said that the album will find him returning to the sexually charged R&B that was his calling card in the early Nineties, as opposed to the classic soul of his most recent, 2010's Love Letter and 2012's Write Me Back. "I love that I can play around with all types of music," he recently told Rolling Stone. "I did Love Letter and Write Me Back and those were fun albums for me to do, because they took me back to music I love. But I wanted to change lanes with this new album and remind people of the TP-2.com and 12 Play style of music I can do – 'Kellz music!'"
Black Panties includes 13 tracks, some of which feature guest appearances by Ludacris, Kelly Rowland, and Jeezy. The first single, "My Story," found Kelly working with rapper 2 Chainz. The second, "Genius," is all Kelly, who proclaims his worth as a "sex genius."
Prior to the release of the album – which features artwork depicting Kelly dressed as a Phantom of the Opera-type character, playing an almost-naked woman (she's wearing black panties) with a cello bow – Kelly had been busy recording collaborations with Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. The deluxe edition of Black Panties features cover art of Kelly lying down, surrounded by nearly naked women who are all clad in only the titular lingerie. That edition also includes four bonus tracks, which feature Future, Migos and Juicy J.
One track that won't be on the album is "Sex Dolphin," which R. Kelly ad-libbed for Rolling Stone on a recent trip to the office. That song, as well as a few others, were recently remixed.

David Arquette Looks Rad In Plaid
Posted on Fri Jun 3, 2011 01:55 PM PDT
David Arquette is a snappy dresser 24/7! The sexy actor proved it while running errands in Beverly Hills. We're loving the combination of the purple shirt and pants mixed with a plaid jacket and polka dot bow tie.
After being photographed with estranged wife Courteney Cox at The Roosevelt Hotel on Wednesday night, David was quick to make it clear that he and Court have not rekindled their love affair. Mr. Arquette Tweeted:
- "Although Courteney and I spent Memorial day together as a family and she was so sweet and supportive of me by coming to see David Arquette Presents Beacher's Madhouse last night, we are not back together as a couple but remain family and dear friends."
Great to see David keeping so busy and lookin' so good! See more of the Scream 4 actor working his killer threads ... after the jump.
Love that swagger!

What do you think of JCP&L's response and follow-up to Superstorm Sandy?
The Borough Council wants to know and will pass along the public input along with its own assessment of the power company's performance during the weeks following the hurricane's arrival in the area on Oct. 29.
Residents can bring written comment or also speak publicly, Mayor Lee Honecker said this week. The comments will be taken down by a court reporter and a transcript prepared for submission of the input, he said.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 25 Olcott Ave., as previously set by the Borough Council. The meeting is scheduled to be held at the high school's Performing Arts Center.
The council head agreed to request that Jersey Central Power & Light's local representative, Stan Prater, attend the meeting.
Residents were encouraged to submit written comments before the meeting. The meeting is being moved to the PAC from town hall in anticipation of a large crowd.
Honecker said last week that the council hadn't decided yet whether the information would be filed as a whole with borough officials' own input on the power company, which is regulated by the state Board of Public Utilities. He said written comments can be submitted via the Bernardsville Borough website.
At the Nov. 13 Borough Council meeting, the mayor and council members, along with the public, offered a preview about JCP&L's performance in the borough, left through this week with more reported outages even than in some shore communities. Residents also said that dangerous wires and trees on wires remain.
For example, resident Margaret Kellogg said then that debris and wires had left Douglass Avenue "still like a war zone" that makes for dangerous driving.
She said that JCP&L's follow-up after last year's storms "wasn't great, either," and that a dead branch had been left lying across a wire for a year.
Officials said they believe some of the problems have been the result of prolonged neglect of the power infrastructure in the area.
"Many of the poles were insect ridden," said Borough Councilwoman Charlotte Foster. She described such poles as "accidents waiting to happen."
Borough Councilman Joe Rossi said that years ago, Jersey Central Power & Light, since purchased by First Energy Corp. in Ohio, maintained a staff of 150 and also equipment to serve the Central Jersey region. That staff has been cut to about one-fifth and the stockpiled equipment is gone, he said.
Such a situation — as well as JCP&L's failure to amass workers in the area even before the long-predicted storm — is dangerous, Rossi said. "It's dangerous for us."
"This stuff goes on for days and days and we are at risk," Rossi said. Even now, he said, "We are driving under wires."
As he had the first week after Sandy, Rossi noted that residents on some streets had been left trapped for days when the power company did not show up to move wires entangled with trees blocking those roads, and also would not authorize anyone else to clear those wires for removal.
Honecker also again mentioned that in some cases JCP&L had claimed to already have resolved power outages in some locations in the borough, only to have apparently mixed up the addresses with similar street names in neighboring Bernards Township.
Honecker said it had been difficult for a while to obtain reasonable estimates from JCP&L even when restorations might be expected, since he believed that no assessments of damage had been done for days.
The mayor added that the president of JCP&L had told him during a conference call that he was familiar with Bernardsville, and had friends in the borough. "If you had friends on Bernardsville mountain, they're not your friends anymore," Honecker observed.
The mayor did not that JCP&L had conducted a tree-trimming campaign last summer in the area. And borough council members, in response to questions from the audience, said that the cost would be prohibitive to place underground wires on streets with a combination of overhead wires and many trees.

KVNF Staff
Candidate Statements
Linda Bacigalupi (incumbent): I've lived in the North Fork Valley (mostly) since 1973 and have been a member of KVNF since its founding. I served on the board in the mid-1980s, and again later in the early 1990s when I took a turn as board president. I bring experience in fundraising, membership development and nonprofit management to work for KVNF.
Currently I am just completing another three-year term, this time as vice-president. During this term, I have served on the Executive and Development committees, worked on the successful fundraising campaign for the 89.1 transmitter upgrade and helped launch the station's first stewardship program, the Turn It Up Club.
It is an exciting time to be working with the station again. In the last three years, we stepped up the news programming dramatically and plan to keep it a strong focus of the station. In addition, the new technologies which are available challenge the station's capacity and creativity to "adapt and adopt" in ways that are most relevant to KVNFs audience. With possible reductions in federal funding on the horizon, healthy membership and underwriting programs remain as important as ever. I am running for another term on the board to continue to build KVNF's strength specifically in these areas.
Smyth Boone: I am going on my thirteenth year of being an active participant with KVNF. I have hosted a radio show for the last twelve years and currently host 'Room to Groove' on Thursday afternoons. My participation and experiences have been acknowledged by being awarded volunteer of the year two times, and recipient of the Wally Award the year that I started the program "Talkin' Music". I have been an underwriter, show producer and major donor in the past and am a major donor for the new KVNF building.
I am personally connected and invested in the future of the station and feel it would be a great time for me to step up my participation and help by getting involved on the board of directors. Among my assets are a very good connection with volunteers, programmers and staff at the station, social and business connections in the valley and the region, and my love of radio as the powerful local/regional/world connection that it is. I love the community that KVNF provides for us all. I sincerely look forward to a bright and sound future for KVNF and look forward to adding my energy and skills to the board. Thank you.
Jay Canode (incumbent): After serving on KVNF's Board of Directors for the past 3 years, I have decided to run for another term as board member with this inspiring organization of talented volunteers and am asking for the consideration of another term from its voting members. I bring to the table over 20 years of experience in professional broadcast media with an emphasis on broadcast video journalism and digital multi-media. I relocated to Paonia from Silverton, CO in 2007 where I co-founded, oversaw construction, and managed KSJC-LP FM. This full time volunteer position was some of the most fulfilling years of my career and this experience is what got me hooked on community public access radio. I currently serve as a volunteer DJ at KVNF when my schedule allows preferring to fill in for the more "free form" radio programs.
My role as a board member over the past 3 years has consisted mainly in helping keep the future of broadcast media within the scope of KVNF's operations. From a more interactive website, to the prospect of serving a community of more digitally mined radio listeners, these are some of the themes I focus on. While I believe KVNF's stalwart FM broadcast antenna will always be the anchor which links us to our listeners, I also believe the digital broadcast realm should not be overlooked when considering new methods that reach out to our community whether that community be the Western Slope of Colorado or planet wide.
Please consider allowing me to continue contributing to this vast brain trust of passionate keepers of the KVNF flame. I firmly believe KVNF anchors the special communities of Western Colorado together, indeed it has attracted me to this region like a moth to a flame.
Jill Spears: I have been a volunteer at KVNF for the past two years, working in the music department, manning the phones during pledge drives & auctions, and serving as a regularly scheduled DJ for 'Room To Groove', 'One Woman's Perspective', and 'The Redneck Riviera'. I also fill in as needed for other DJ slots and have even hosted 'Musica Mexicana'. Essentially, if there is a hole in the volunteer schedule – I will try to step up and fill it.
For the past two summers, I have spent all of my Thursday evenings working the KVNF booth at the summer concert series in Ouray, Ridgway, and Paonia. I've enjoyed connecting with our current listeners/members and engaging new friends to become a part of the KVNF community. Last year, I was acknowledged with the volunteer of the year award. In addition to my volunteer time, I am a member of the Turn It Up Club and contribute regularly and generously to KVNF.
I have an extensive business background that is a great fit for facilitating the role of the KVNF Board of Directors. I've worked in healthcare management for over 30 years, and participated in several successful start-up ventures. For 18 years, I've run my own consulting business – specializing in organizational turnarounds and restructuring. My work environment is demanding and requires a command of knowledge in strategic planning & implementation, fiscal funding & accountability, organizational & change management, legal compliance, and technological know-how. I've worked with small to multi-million dollar businesses and am familiar with all aspects of business operations. I am a collaborator with an "espirit de corp" leadership style and proven abilities to achieve success.
In addition to my valuable business skills, I bring energy, enthusiasm, commitment, reliability, and a tireless work ethic. I feel that all of these attributes are essential for meeting the challenges that face KVNF today, and in the future. I would like to deepen my connection with the KVNF community and believe I can make a formidable contribution to KVNF as a board member. I respectfully ask for your support and vote.

Comments about cannondale CAADX TIAGRA:
I absolutely love this bike! I bought it to complement my full carbon road bike (Cervelo R3) and replace a hybrid (commuter/urban) and mountain bike, and am so happy I made this decision. It's perfectly adequate for pretty much anything except for hardcore single-track, which I never rode anyway, and is awesome for the 32 mile round trip commute I have to school. The gearing is excellent for offroad use and riding around town, though it does leave a little to be desired on the open road (not enough of an issue to cause any problems). Tiagra 4600 shifts pretty smooth, but I will say it's not the SRAM Rival I ride on my road bike, but at the price I knew that going into it and the Tiagra works fine. I wanted something that would be better suited for commuting longer distances than my hybrid and am so glad I went with this. I got a 2012 model as a leftover.
Also, you will probably end up going a size smaller than you're used to with a road bike (I ride a 51cm road, but the 48cm CAADX is the size that fit me perfectly).

Comments about cannondale CAADX TIAGRA:
Great platform to tailor the bike to your needs. Save your money to buy this over the 105, and upgrade to your needs.
Tektro CR520 difficult to adjust. Pad friction is dangerous.
The rear derailleur cable has a partial sleeve which can collect dirt.... better to leave this off at the factory from the beginning.
Sammy Slicks good for dry conditions, not so wet.
Jagwire STI compatible adjusters are a great addition, not found on the competition. However, the competition has adjusters for the brake cables
Hubs roll fast and smooth.
love the paint scheme on it.
Overall, the best value in the CAADX lineup. Buy this and use the saved money to tailor your bike to your specific needs/tastes.

Spiritual Power: Mind Body Spirit
Spiritual Power: Mind Body Spirit
When it comes to being dynamic the way to go is to develop SPIRITUAL power before the physical. Energy exists on the plane of spirit first before it manifests on the material plane. The law of manifestation is working 24/7 all of the time. But how does one begin? I mean where do you start? Here is my take on this important subject while doing a psychic medium reading on it:
The bookshop self development section is full of the latest best sellers. New age magazines are full of weekend courses and seminars. The guy and girl starting out on the self growth path has a major obstacle to face and this is the MYRIAD of choices! Yes, the beginning can be tricky!
Here is some psychic insight into how I handle this challenge. Let us continue onwards, on the path of Spiritual Power: Mind Body Spirit!
When starting out I noticed there were many paths but all of them focused on ONE mind, body, and spirit area with extreme emphasis while neglecting others. Yoga has an emphasis on the development of the body. Energy workers concentrate on shifting energy. Spiritual disciplines train the spirit but neglect the care and well being of the body. I wanted something balanced instead of lopsided. Just because other people are following a system doesn't mean it is any good!
The way to REAL spirit power is to develop in all three areas evenly. This means I take care of my body, I eat well, even organic at times, with lots of RAW food. I walk in the fresh air. I view the physical body as the temple of the divine spark with all the human energy we carry inside. Here is another metaphysical fact I learned along the way >>> YOU are custodian for the body. This means it is given to you as a gift for a certain amount of time so the spiritual energy inside of you can grow. Being a custodian means one is entrusted with something of value.
The mind is a gift and it too is an expression of the divine energy. Reading literature develops the mind and so does deep conversation. Not the rubbishy TV kind, but the deep and meaningful kind that is so rare today. Minds work at varying speeds and each has its own capacity to apply the intellect. The task is to have the spirit directing the mind as the supreme commander. The spiritual energy is the GENERAL, the mind the Captain, and the body a foot soldier.
The more one enters into the spiritual energy inside the closer you get to God, or the universal energy. Meditation and the pursuit of a better life lead to making a powerful spiritual transition. It is good to see more folks entering the path of spirit these days with a keen interest in the ancient wisdoms. I see this trend growing over the next few months. In the quest for Spiritual Power of mind, body, and spirit a psychic medium reading can show you the way that suits your energy.
