May 31, 2011 | John E. Bryson, a member of the board
of directors at Walt Disney Company since 2000 and senior advisor to
private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co, was nominated by
President Obama on May 31 as Commerce Secretary.
As previously reported in Toy News
Tuesday, the position was formerly held by Gary Locke, who will now
serve as U.S. ambassador to China.
Former chairman of the board and chief executive officer of
California-based power company Edison International, Bryson will be
charged with growing U.S. exports and promoting American business and
American products around the world.
In a White House announcement made today, Obama described Bryson as
"a business leader who understands what it takes to innovate,
create jobs and to persevere through tough times." Earlier this
year, Obama announced plans to streamline the Commerce Department,
including how the government handles international trade issues, and
sharpen its focus on making U.S. businesses more competitive.
Bryson's full biography can be found on Walt
Disney's website.

The RAB Radio Show: April 5, 2011By
Ivan Nova had a fine 2011 debut last night, allowing three runs in six innings of work. Mike and I talk about various aspects of the game, including Girardi's decision to pull him at 85 pitches, and with the bottom of the order due up in the seventh.
Then it's onto tonight's game, when the Yankees will face Brian Duensing. They know him well, as he's started a game in each of the last two ALDS. They've bombed him, but he just seems like the type of guy who would give the Yankees fits.

I like the earlier start time. I can listen to more shows than with the older time.
I like the new start time of the show!
I bet Martin gets the day off on Thursday given the fact its a afternoon game. Garcia should pitch against the Orioles, thats when we need him to pitch against these teams.

a subgenre of gesaku, a type of popular Japanese literature of the Tokugawa, or Edo, period (1603-1867). Yomihon were distinguished from books, enjoyed mainly for their illustrations, and were noted for their extended plots culled from Chinese and Japanese historical sources. These novels were openly moralistic romances, and their highly schematized characters often included witches, fairy princesses, and impeccably noble gentlemen. Where yomihon succeeded, as in a few works by Takizawa Bakin, they are absorbing as examples of storytelling rather than as moral lessons.

What a superpower wants
The smartphone market is often described in terms of Apple versus Samsung versus the also-rans. The big two have been feasting on healthy profits, while the rest of the field has to battle for the leftovers. However, indications suggest that China's high-tech behemoth Huawei is now aiming for a seat at the table as well, as part of a wider plan to expand offerings in mobile devices.
During a recent analyst summit, Eric Xu Zhijun, one of Huawei's three rotating chief executive officers, said "we think 30% plus growth for the device business is sustainable for a couple of years." The telecom giant reported that sales of its handsets, tablets and other mobile broadband products rose 44.3% last year to 44.62 billion yuan ($7 billion), during what Xu described as the first year of increased investment in the device business.
One of the most notable results of that investment was Huawei's unveiling of the world's fastest smartphone, when it launched the Ascend D quad at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. The new line of phones feature a quad-core processor called K3V2 that was developed in-house and timed at 1.2 gigahertz per second (GHz).
A quad core is a central processor (CPU) with four independent cores instead of just one or two. Multiple cores allow the phone to run multiple instructions at the same time, resulting in faster performance.
Huawei says its chip business is going to be a strategic advantage as it continues to ramp up its research and development efforts in smartphones and other mobile devices.
HiSilicon Technologies is the unit responsible for developing Huawei's new chipsets. Last year, the company sold 20 million smartphones, all of which still had chips from other vendors. This year, Huawei aims to sell 60 million. Xu added, "Even if we can't make money from smartphones, at the very least we should make money from chipset offerings."
According to research firm IDC, Samsung and Apple dominate the global smartpone business with market shares of 19.1% and 18.9%, respectively. And Samsung recently introduced a faster, larger version of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III, earlier this month, to help stave off increasing competition from rivals like Nokia, HTC, LG, Huawei and ZTE.
However, Huawei's limited efforts up to this point have still been making headway. The Shenzhen-based company had 3.1% of the global market in 2011, up from only 1.3% the previous year, as it continued to transition from low-cost phones to high-end smartphones and tablets under its own brand.
Upbeat domestic consumption has also fuelled the company's strong growth. China overtook the U.S. to become the world's largest smartphone market in the first quarter, according to research firm Canalys. Huawei holds 12% of the country's total sales and expects to sell another 20 million units this year, a jump of nearly 67% from 2011.
Xu said Huawei repositioned the device business beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the increasing uptake of smartphones and stronger links between handsets and the company's broader portfolio of products. The company's senior management now sees the unit as a 'favored son,' expected to make a growing contribution to the company's future earnings.
Of course, Huawei has been down a similar road in the past. The company founded in 1987 quickly grew to become the world's second-largest telecom equipment supplier behind Sweden's Ericsson. Now its portfolio has expanded not only to consumer devices but also to enterprise networking equipment as well. Huawei's ambition to evolve from relative upstart into a market leader is exemplified by its take on the level of technology used in smartphones.
Mr. Eric Xu Zhijun as we noticed the ICT Award 2012 went to Honorable Ms. Sun Yafang at the WTISD2012 at ITU, Geneva. Hype in the US, Australian, Indian authorities serious concern on content security neglecting the contract award for NBN in Australia, tenders in the US etc., etc., markets as Pakistan has major share in the networks with international operators onwards to the 3G spectrum auction shortly in the regulatory process. Already satisfactory user of Huawei Ideos Anroid 2.2 via China Mobile. The branding campaign started from Barcelona GSMA2012.
Marketing blitz with "Release the smart in everyone" goes more towards the support of the Broadband Infrastructure in Pakistan with packages, promotions, for wireless, and wired broadband, as EDGE, GPRS, and the recent 3G/4G services under spectrum auction in Pakistan.
Among thousands of fans Huawei networks, Enterprise networking equipment, Android, Windows, smart phones, and tablets to be as important as iPhone, Samsung Android series phones.
With the 120 millions smart phones why should we not make it happen with the "Release the smart in everyone, to everyone".
Interconnect Partners
Thanks for flagging Huawei's prospective penetration in Pakistan.

"It placed demands on one side in the Middle East conflict but not the other," Bolton said. "This draft resolution would have exacerbated tensions in the region."
The first speech yesterday by Khaled Meshal, the Damascus-based head of Hamas' political bureau, since the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit was intended mainly to reinforce his leadership position vis-a-vis both Palestinians and Israel. His statements contained little real news. He reiterated the Hamas promise not to hurt Shalit and the position that he would be released only in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.What Meshal did do was to declare that he and not the chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, in Ramallah, or Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza, is the sole spokesman for the Palestinian people in the territories and beyond.
Saudi Arabia on Thursday blamed "Elements" Inside Lebanon for the violence with Israel, in unusually frank language directed at guerrilla group Hizbullah and its Iranian backers. "A distinction must be made between legitimate resistance and uncalculated adventures undertaken by elements inside (Lebanon) and those behind them without recourse to the legal authorities and consulting and coordinating with Arab nations," A statement published on the official news agency SPA said.
The radical Shiite movement Hezbollah and its leader, Hasan Nasrallah, hold an effective veto in Lebanese politics, and the group's military prowess has heartened its supporters at home and abroad in the Arab world. But that same force of arms has begun to endanger Hezbollah's long-term standing in a country where critics accuse it of dragging Lebanon into an unwinnable conflict the government neither chose nor wants to fight."To a certain Arab audience and Arab elite, Nasrallah is a champion, but the price is high," said Walid Jumblatt, a member of parliament and leader of Lebanon's Druze community. "We are paying a high price."
"It's really time for everybody to acknowledge that these two states do have some measure of control over Hezbollah," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters in Washington. "And the international community has called upon them to exercise that control, to have these two individuals released."
Oil prices topped $78 per barrel Friday and held near record highs as intensifying violence in the Middle East raised concerns of possible supply disruptions.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak yesterday told the Cairo daily Al Ahram that he had drafted an agreement for the release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, but that it had been scuttled by outside pressure on Hamas."I would not be revealing any secrets by saying I had written portions of a dignified resolution to the soldier crisis," Mubarak said in the interview. According to the Egyptian leader, Israel promised to release numerous Palestinian prisoners, and Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas had both been told. However, the agreement was not implemented due to pressure on Hamas."Then Hamas was pressured and entities I do not want to name intervened in the mediation. This blocked the impending agreement," Mubarak said.Meshal denied at a press conference on Monday that external entities such as Syria or Iran were making decisions for Hamas. He also said Shalit must be released as part of a prisoner swap and thanked Egypt for its efforts.
"President Bush affirmed his readiness to put pressure on Israel to limit the damage to Lebanon as a result of the current military action, and to spare civilians and innocent people from harm," said a statement from Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora's office.
The Israel Defense Forces is planning to bomb Hezbollah headquarters in a densely populated area of south Beirut on Friday, a senior General Staff official told Haaretz.The IDF said it has dropped leaflets warning civilians of the impending attack and that many of them have left the Shi'ite Dahiya quarter of south Beirut, where thousands of people live in multi-story residential buildings."We will atack more significant targets than we have attacked until now," the officer said. "If we had chosen to bomb earlier, it would have ended with hundreds of civilians killed, and we took ethical considerations into account. On the other hand, we will not adopt a naive approach, and the model of terrorists hiding behind civilians will not be accepted."He said any civilian who chooses to remain in the area is putting his life in danger.
The democratic Lebanese government of Fouad Siniora bears its share of the blame, since it has failed to police its side of the border with Israel and failed to disarm Hezbollah, as required by Security Council Resolution 1559 and the 1989 Taif Accords that ended the Lebanese civil war. Senior Israeli military sources also claim that Lebanon tolerates the presence of hundreds of Iranian military personnel in Lebanon, again in violation of U.N. resolutions.
In the case of Hamas, perhaps Israel could rain indiscriminate artillery fire on Gaza City, surely a proportionate response to the 800 rockets Hamas has fired at Israeli towns in the last year alone. In the case of Hezbollah, it might mean carpet bombing a section of south Beirut, another equally proportionate response to Hezbollah's attacks on civilian Jewish and Israeli targets in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s.
04:31 PDT: IDF official announces that the Israeli army is going to bomb Hezbollah headquarters in South Beirut on Friday afternoon local time (morning in the US). Israellycool writes: "we're about to get medieval on Hizbullah."03:44 PDT CNN: Lebanese PM Fouad Siniora issued a call for a comprehensive cease-fire Friday and request help from the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who promised him to exercise the utmost pressure to help achieve it, according to a spokesman.02:49 PDT Israel's interior minister Ronnie Bar-On tours the country's North and says: "If [the Lebanese government] fails in restoring calm in Southern Lebanon, we'll bring the Wild West to the area." Also: ""Nasrallah has sentenced himself by his own acts. I doubt that he would be able to find a life insurance agent these days.""Growing calls in Lebanon to disarm Hizbullah", echoing the Washington Post.
May you live in interesting times..."
Now you see the value of Israel's withdrawl from Gaza.
Guess who vetoed a resolution to ask Israel to stop?

If you've ever been in Stockertown and wondered about that huge, grand old building on Main Street that is the current home of Tony's Pizza and Famous Tattoo Works, here's an old lithograph of its former life as the Centennial Hotel along the former Easton-Wilkes Barre Turnpike, later PA 115 and Sullivan Trail.
The other Second Empire style building next to it was a general store for many years. While Hearthstone Fireplace has been occupying it for a few decades, there are still many remnants of the building's former life inside the first-floor showroom.

Managing virtual terminals with Screen
Cast a spell upon your console. Instead of juggling multiple terminals, you can manage all your important command line programs in a single window.
Screen lets you launch multiple virtual consoles in a single termi nal. This gives users the ability to keep processes running on remote com puters after logging off. And you can open up the screen to other users, letting them share your session. The terminal applications on KDE and Gnome point the way: you can launch multiple tabs, just like in a browser, thus combining multiple console sessions in a single program window. If you do not use a GUI, or if you use SSH to work on a remote computer, there is no need to do without this convenience. The Screen tool will help you manage multiple vir tual terminals, giving you the ability to keep processes running if you log off the remote machine. Screen even provides tools that let you share a console session with other users.

Fashion B*tch is a weekly advice column for the stylistically impaired.
Like keeping the same haircut from the eighties, out-of-date fashion ages you. And nothing says "I've thrown in the towel on all things cool" like stone-washed, hiked-high Dad Jeans—especially when they're accessorized with running sneakers and a cell phone clip.
Not sure if this pertains to you? Quick—measure the point where your jeans are sewn together in the crotch to the top of your waist. If you're edging toward 11 inches, you're rocking a high rise. (See the accompanying photos of the president, David Hasselhoff and Magnum PI for visual evidence.)
But rest easy. The fix is simple. A proper pair of jeans should sit above the hips, not above the belly button. And darker washes are always better, really dark if you want to wear them out to dinner. (See? Now you're sporting the much hipper mid-rise look.) The biggest lesson the Fashion Bitch can impart: You don't have to be cutting edge, just presentable.
Besides, what could possibly be your excuse for not wanting to go from dork to DILF? Certainly not the lame justifications below.
I'm really cheap.
I get it. Dad has a big boat to float. The mortgage, ballet lessons and Mommy's trainer can break a guy. Still, we're talking denim not Gucci. So even if Walmart or Target is your usual haberdashery, it shouldn't set you back more than 30 bucks.
I have no clue about fashion.
But the cute sales girl at your local denim shop does. Plus, when was the last time a pretty young thing paid attention to your ass? Be forewarned, however: No matter how many times she bats her eyes to make a sale, you are too old for skinny jeans, over-stitched pockets and tattoo-printed styles. My advice: Start by looking at premium denim brands such as Rock & Republic and Joe's Jeans.
I only care about comfort.
Well then, pick a pair with a little added spandex for stretch—a la 7 For All Mankind's Austyn 36″ Long and Adriano Goldschmied's 5 Years Dark. Whichever the cut, try things on, take them for a test drive and ask if alterations are possible.
I'm a loyal Levi's guy.
Hey, the Bitch gets loyalty. And Levi's—it's a great brand. So feel free to stand by your 501s, just choose a darker wash.
I don't really care what I look like.
You should. The kids are making fun of you, and Mommy's trainer ain't rocking the Dad jeans.

Hi Everyone,
This past year and a half has been a difficult one. My wonderful husband,
Frank, died in February after
a long illness. Since then I've been dealing with everything that entails. Unfortunately my
business, First Class
Glass, has suffered from lack of attention and will continue to do so because of everything I
still have to do. So I have
decided to take a break.
Starting now, and until further notice, I will not be taking any orders for First Class
Glass. Come this spring I will do a complete update and be open for business.
Thank you for your continued patronage.
See you in the spring.

The mayors of Hallsville and Centralia, along with one Missouri legislator, have reached out to gun and ammunition manufacturers in an effort to attract those businesses as other states tighten gun restrictions.
State Representative Caleb Rowden said the decision to reach out to gun businesses is about improving the economy.
"This is a matter of jobs," Rowden said. "If this was a different industry where it was so public that it made national news that these companies need relieving, I would have sent the same letter with some different bullet points."
Coming up we'll delve into a small school district trying to get a bond passed for the third time.
But first, grain elevators across the country store billions of bushels of farm products like corn and wheat. They're a staple of rural communities. But the dust that piles up in grain storage facilities is highly combustible – it can be six times more explosive than gun powder. Just one spark can send a blast that will shake the ground for miles.
Hallsville School District is expecting voters' support as it puts the school bond issue on a ballot for the third time. The April 2 ballot issue would increase the school tax levy by about 5 cents to finance a $2 million bond, down from the $4.3 million the district asked for last April and August.
Terry and Tony DeWeese are identical twins and have spent their entire lives together. Once they graduate from Hallsville High School, Tony and Terry will be apart for the first time in their lives. Terry will enlist in the US Marine Corps and attend basic training at Camp Pendleton in June, and Tony will attend college in Kansas. Tony has Cerebral Palsy, preventing him from enlisting with his brother.
Alaysha Jefferson loves cheerleading at the Hallsville High School in Hallsville, Missouri. Living in a small town that has the population of 1,300 and without a car to drive around, Alaysha has a quiet life. She spends her time in classes, cheerleading practice, and doing homework at home.
Hallsville mayoral election proved to be exciting last night with incumbent Ben Austene running against new comer Cheri Reisch.

Trojans finish second at home tourney
Hoisington entered the day with a 25-1 record, a No. 1 seed in the tournament and a No. 1 ranking in Class 3A. Hillsboro, at 22-4, was the No. 2 seed. One of the Trojans' losses was a two-game sweep by Hoisington Sept. 25.
"I think we gained a lot of confidence just in that match itself," Arnold said of the rematch on Saturday. "As the day went on, our confidence rose. I guess if there's a good time to be playing your best volleyball, this is the time."
After wading through pool play with three straight two-game matches, then defeating Conway Springs in two games in the semifinals, the Trojans finally succumbed to the Cardinals, 21-25, 25-22, 21-25.
"I thought we blocked fairly well, especially the second match," Arnold said. "That seemed to shut them down and frustrate them. We also put some balls down on them and they had a hard time picking those up.
"So our defense, I thought, played well."
The Trojans dug a hole for themselves in the deciding third game by allowing a couple of Hoisington scoring runs in the early going.
"Then I thought we had some momentum building—and we got a couple of calls that didn't go our way," Arnold said. "But that's beside the point because you have to be in it to start with.
"As good a day as we had, I think that just raised the kids' expectations as much as mine. As well as we played, I really thought we had it. We let things slip away."
In pool play, the Trojans defeated Sterling (25-14, 25-21), Marion (25-19, 25-15) and Oskaloosa (25-23, 25-20).
"I thought we steadily got better," Arnold said about her team's dip in the pool. "The first match of our morning always seems to be a little shaky for us.
"And Marion always worries me because it's a rivalry. They've improved a bunch this year, and so you never know how that one is going to go. We talked about that one a lot."
Oskaloosa, making its first appearance at the Trojan Invitational, came in as the No. 3 seed at 25-5. They were ranked ninth in the latest coaches' poll for Class 3A, while the Trojans were ranked eighth.
"I thought we played pretty well against Oskaloosa," Arnold said. "We rose to that challenge because we knew they were going to be a team to contend with. They had a couple of girls who were good hitters, good hitters servers."
Conway Springs, a perennial power in volleyball, came in as the No. 4 seed with an 18-12 mark this season. Hillsboro prevailed in two games, 25-22, 25-23.
"Conway has a strong tradition, so you never want to say, 'Well, they're down this year,'" Arnold said. "I know how tradition can pull you through things.
"But they're kind of young. They had some good hitters, and we tried to serve in a way that would keep the ball away from those hitters. We do that in every match, but we thought we had an advantage because they're blockers weren't as tall.
"Along as we were pass-set-hitting, we thought we could get over the block and put it down. Dakota (Kaufman) and Amy (Neufeld) both did a good job at that, and so did Chelsea (Bebermeyer). Even the girls that don't hit as much were having a successful day hitting."
The 4-1 record for the day boosted the Trojans' season mark to 26-5 for the season.
Hillsboro quad—The Trojans tuned up for their weekend tournament with a pad of solid league wins Tuesday on their home court.
In a critical matchup, Hillsboro came back from a Game 1 loss to defeat rival Hesston in three games, 23-25, 25-17. 25-22.
This match, the only one that counts toward the league standings, marked the fifth time the two teams have met this season. Hesston won the first two matches, but Hillsboro has won the past three.
After getting past Hesston, the Trojans knocked off Smoky Valley (25-22, 25-20) to improve their league mark to 7-1.
Coming—Hillsboro was scheduled to play its final three league and regular-season matches Tuesday at Collegiate. In addition to the home team, Hillsboro will battle Ellinwood and Sterling.
On Saturday, the Trojans will compete for a state berth at the sub-state tournament at Southeast of Saline.
Arnold said her team likely will come in as the No. 3 seed in a field that includes two other top-10 teams in Class 3A: top ranked Hoisington and No. 3 ranked Sacred Heart.
"Obviously it's going to be a tough sub-state," Arnold said. "But as I say to the girls, if you want to be the best you have to beat the best—we just have to do it right away."
Judging by their play at the Trojan Invitational, Arnold feels her team is peaking at the right time.
"It's been a year where I didn't know what to expect, to where now I have high expectations for them—and the girls do to," Arnold said. "We're going to try to ride this and meet these expectations."
Also in the field at Southeast of Saline are Ellinwood, Ellsworth, Lyons and Marion.

Kevin Hart didn't know what was in store for him.
The hilarious comedian was in Drake's native hometown for his Let Me Explain Tour and decided to challenge Drizzy and his O.V.O crew to a game of paintball.
What Kevin thought would be an innocent game of "who's better" with simple paintball guns, turned into a full fledged war equipped with Drake's top notch paintball guns and grenades LOL.
LOL. Kevin should've known!

Staff and wire reports
It appears there's room for only one Sheetz at a busy Scalp Avenue intersection after all.
Sheetz is closing its convenience store at the Scalp-Eisenhower Boulevard intersection, saying the experiment of pairing the old store with a new one that opened over the summer within one commercial block did not work out as well as it hoped.
"It's probably a twofold reason," Sheetz spokeswoman Monica Jones said, adding the decision wasn't as simple as how the store was faring day to day.
The older store, with its cramped parking area and decade-old design, would have required significant investment that likely would not have paid off, she said.
"People want the offerings our modern stores carry," Jones said.
All employees have been relocated to existing stores – many to the new one across the street and others to locations closer to their homes, she said.
Jones was not sure whether Sheetz owns or leases the Scalp-Eisenhower location, and said future plans for the lot are unknown.
Coroner seeks family of man who died
The Cambria County coroner's office is asking for help to find the family of a Kernville man who died recently in his home.
John A. Small III, 58, was found dead on Saturday, but he apparently died a few days before that, Chief Deputy Coroner Jeffrey Lees said.
"He died of natural causes," Lees said.
Mail was piling up at his home in the 600 block of Sherman Street. Neighbors had not seen Small for several days, Lees said.
His landlord discovered Small's body when checking on him. The landlord and neighbors did not know of any family, Lees added.
"We are asking the public if they know the gentleman," Lees said. "If they know of any next of kin, they should contact me."
The coroner's office phone number is 535-6222.
Turnpike tolls to increase on Sunday
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls are scheduled to increase this weekend.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission said Wednesday most cash-paying customers will see a 10 percent increase, while E-ZPass users will pay
2 percent more. Motorists on the Southern Beltway in the Pittsburgh area will see a steeper increase in cash tolls.
The increases take effect Sunday.
The commission has been expanding the differential between cash and electronic tolls since 2011. E-ZPass travelers saved up to 17 percent last year, and the pending changes will widen that to 25 percent in 2013.
As part of a campaign to convert the turnpike to all-electronic tolls, officials have reduced fees in the E-ZPass program.
They say using technology to deduct tolls as vehicles roll through the toll booths is safer, less expensive and more convenient.
Pgh. clinic overlooks worker safety: Report
PITTSBURGH – Violence prevention efforts at a Pittsburgh psychiatric clinic where a gunman shot six people last year focus too much on patients and not enough on employee safety, a consultant hired by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration found.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Wednesday reported the findings by Jane Lipscomb, a professor at the University of Maryland Nursing School who was paid nearly $31,000 by OSHA to review workplace violence at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. That's where mentally ill gunman John Shick killed one worker and wounded five others before he was fatally shot by University of Pittsburgh campus police on March 8.
"WPIC's workplace violence prevention efforts are completely overshadowed by patient safety considerations," Lipscomb found, though she acknowledged "a number of initiative(s) designed to protect patients also infer staff safety."
Still, she concluded, "WPIC's management commitment to violence prevention is obscured by their nearly singular focus on patient safety."
Prank caller targets widows
GREENSBURG – Police in Greensburg are trying to find a prank caller who has played a sick joke on recently widowed women.
Police said the caller tells the women that their relative has been abducted and tied up.
The caller has targeted two women whose husbands recently died and, in each case, used the specific name of a relative. That's leading police to believe that the caller is finding the names of widows in newspaper obituaries and then using the names of surviving relatives as part of the ruse.
Police said both widows contacted them after receiving the calls last month. Police determined neither relative had really been harmed.
Greensburg police Lt. Doug Marcoz said, "Nothing leads us to believe that anybody is in any danger."
Gas leak forces building evacuation
HARRISBURG – Authorities said a natural gas leak forced the evacuation of an office building near the state Capitol and, eventually, the early dismissal of many state employees.
Utility workers responded to the report of a gas odor in the basement of the Capitol Complex's North Office Building on Wednesday morning.
Department of General Services spokesman Troy Thompson said workers were evacuated around noon. Shortly after, officials decided to send employees home for the rest of the day.
About 400 employees work in the building for the Pennsylvania departments of State and General Services, and for some legislative offices.

A very nice surprise! A review of Austin's Chuckwagon Lodge and General Store
With a name like Austin's Chuck Wagon one does not really know what to expect. I had read reviews before going and was rather certain it would be a nice place to stay and wasn't disappointed at all. This is an older style 2 level hotel. Rooms are typical of what you would have found in a 15-20 year old hotel, they have been redone since then but that is the layout of the place. The room was very clean, the heating/airconditioning unit was a bit loud but still very typical of a hotel room. The pool and hot tub were very nice. We were also extremely impressed with the deli, diner, and convenience store. The prices and quality were absolutely fantastic. We ordered hot sandwiches from the deli picked up supplies to make subs the next day from the deli, restocked drinks for our cooler and had a bill of $30!! That was for a family of 4, if the quality of all we had bought wouldn't have been so good the price wouldn't matter but the quality was superb! We also did some laundry while we were here. The laundry facility is located behind the general store, about 75 yards from the hotel. We stayed here after a day at Bryce Canyon and we were on our way to Moab, a good 1/2 way point. We did stop at Capitol Reef National Park which is within minutes of the hotel as well.

Answer to Question #10100 Submitted to "Ask the Experts"
Category: Instrumentation and Measurements — Personnel Monitoring (PM)
The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field:
We use LiF TLD-100 and a Harshaw 3500 TLD reader in our hospital for various applications of radiation dosimetry. It's been our experience for the last 10 years that the measurement from the TLDs (thermoluminescent dosimeters) is accurate for a certain number of exposures. After that, radiation measurements with these TLDs underestimate the amount of exposure. However, once the TLDs are recalibrated we again get better results from the TLDs. What property of the TLD-100 reduces the sensitivity after few uses? What should be the frequency of calibration for the TLDs? Is there any publication on this aspect?
While the general use of TLDs for routine dosimetry purposes is quite straightforward, simplifications and conveniences are often implemented that make operations easier for the users but may not be consistent with the optimization of TLD performance and stability. TLD-100 (LiF[Mg:Ti]) is among the most commonly used TL materials but it is one of the more complex materials in terms of its characteristics especially with regard to the electron-hole trapping centers.
There are numerous traps of varying depth, each representing potentially different energies that may be observed in the glow curve structure when the dosimeter is read out following irradiation. The detailed glow curve for TLD-100 exhibits at least 13 peaks. The major dosimetry peak used in routine photon dosimetry applications is a major peak with its usual maximum at about 210o C. In routine use the trapping centers are sufficiently stable so that the variance associated with numerous sequential uses is acceptable. Unfortunately, however, the distribution, frequency, and availability of trapping centers available for radiation dosimetry are subject to various influencing factors.
There are numerous references available through an Internet search. There are several American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards that relate to TLD performance and testing; among these are ANSI N13.37 Performance, Testing, and Procedural Specifications for Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (Environmental Applications) and N13.11-2009, Personnel Dosimetry Performance – Criteria for Testing. There are also a number of technical/textbooks dealing with the theory and the applications of thermoluminescence. An early, seminal text is Thermoluminescent Dosimetry by J.R. Cameron, et al., Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 1968. It is dated in many respects, but still offers some insightful and understandable explanations of various aspects of the subject, especially with respect to LiF. Numerous other texts are available; you can find many of them online—e.g., type "thermoluminescent" into the search box on Amazon.com (in Books) to bring up several; typing "thermoluminescence" will also bring up some others.I wish you well with your continuing use of thermoluminescent dosimetry.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: SERVES 2-3
- 2-3 chicken breasts, 8-10 chicken thighs, or the equivalent of chicken wings or pieces (skin is delicious left on, but skinless works well too, as pictured here)
- 2 fresh ripe mangoes (For more on buying & preparing fresh mango, see link below)
- 3 Tbsp. fish sauce (available in tall bottles at Asian food stores)
- 2 Tbsp. Thai sweet chili sauce (available in the Asian section of your local supermarket)
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander/cilantro
- 4 Tbsp. coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1 fresh red chili, OR 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili (from the spice aisle), OR up to 1 tsp. Thai chili sauce
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric
- Remove flesh from the mango, discarding the stone. Place the mango plus all mango sauce ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Process well to form a smooth mango sauce.
- Taste-test the sauce, looking for a balance between sweet & sour, salty and spicy (this sauce should taste more sweet than sour). Add more sugar if too sour, or more fish sauce if not salty or flavorful enough. Add more chili if not spicy enough.
- If using skinless chicken breast or thighs, score the uppermost side, slicing 1/8th to 1/4 inch deep - this will give your chicken more flavor. Chicken with skin will be lots flavorful enough without scoring. Place prepared chicken in a mixing bowl. Pour half to 2/3 of the mango sauce over, stirring well to combine. Set the rest aside for serving.
- Marinate chicken in the mango sauce at least 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Before grilling, brush a little cooking oil over your grill to prevent sticking. As you grill, baste with leftover marinade (from the bottom of the bowl). Chicken is done when flesh turns light golden-brown and the juices run clear.
- Place reserved mango sauce in a sauce pan over medium heat, stirring until just warm (avoid boiling or you'll lose the fresh mango flavor). Or simply serve as a condiment at room temperature.
- Serve the grilled chicken together with the sauce. Excellent with rice or your choice of salad or potatoes. Or for an extra special treat, serve with my Easy Thai Coconut Rice. ENJOY!

Representative 1734% APR Example: Borrow £80 for 28 days and repay £100. Interest rate of 25% with £20 payable. Fixed Representative APR of 1734%
Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For help, go to moneyadviceservice.org.uk
The calculated APR% depends on the duration of your loan and will be presented to you when you apply.
The APR% for Payday Loans may seem quite high at first glance. Taking into account that all setup fees and administrative costs are included and since most Payday Loans are paid over a period of no more than 70 days a yearly APR% might be misleading. In most cases taking a payday loan is much cheaper than paying overdraft penalties, bounced cheques or unpaid bill charges.
A typical unsecured loan of £5,000 borrowed over 60 months:• Payments would be approx. £135.16 per month.
Since this kind of loan is spread over 5 years the APR is indeed small but the actual payment over this period would be £3109.88 for a £5k loan which is 62% compared to 25% actual cost of credit of a payday loan. Note the actual APR that you pay will depend on the lender that accepts you.
|You Borrow
|Total Amount Payable
Because we have a large panel of payday lenders that will consider your application they welcome homeowners, council tenants, private tenants, housing association tenants or people living with parents.
In the vast majority of cases it only takes a few minutes to approve an application including signing for it. However, in some cases it may be necessary for you to provide additional information but even when this happens it still should be taken care of in under 25minutes.
You can borrow anywhere from £100 to £1000 depending on your personal circumstances. Money can be in your account today!
Annual Percentage Rate or APR is a common method for comparing finance that is lent over a period of 12 months or more but a Payday loan is set of a period of 1 month and therefore can be misleading for comparison purposes.
The below table demonstrates this:
|Loan type
|Loan Amount
|Total Repayable
|Actual Interest
|Payday Loan
If you are 18 or over, in full time employment earning £750 per month or more, you are likely to be eligible. You will need a bank account that accepts direct debits and we are required to prove your identity.
As a responsible lender we are required to verify that you are who you say you are. That you are in full time employment and can afford to repay the loan. That it is your account we are putting the money into.
No we do not use credit reference agencies to score your application
Absolutely, we are not basing our decision to lend to you over the long term (12months or more) therefore we are only interested in your present circumstances.
It is not always necessary to have a debit card attached to your bank account, please ask us for more details.
Complete our quick and easy online form. If you are approved you may be asked a few quick questions by one of our trained operatives and then sign your loan agreement. That's it, we take care of the rest.
We will transfer the funds straight away; if it's before 3pm then you will have your funds today. If not, then they will be in your account on the very next working day.
It will be paid directly into your bank account.
Easy as pie, we will take your payment via direct debit on your next payday.
Yes – although after deferring the payday loan twice we will ask you to start reducing the balance. Deferral will incur new charges for every month the loan is deferred – but still at our fixed rate – there are no additional charges.
We understand that people's circumstances can change. If this is the case, you must let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to help. The most important things to note are:
Don't borrow money you don't think you can pay back
Please let us know! We work very hard to keep our customers happy and it is always good to know when we've succeeded. Please email your comments to email@example.com
Here at OnlineCashLoan, we do everything we can to make sure our customers get the best possible service. However, sometimes, we don't get things right first time.
If you're not completely happy with our service, we need to hear about it – that way, we can do something to put it right. Please email your comment to email@example.com
If you are receiving email and text messages from Closer Payday it is because the marketing permission box was checked when you applied for a short-term or payday loan with us.

|Total Amount Payable
Complete Application Within a few moments we will let you know if you have been approved by one of the lenders on our payday panel.
Confirm Application Sometimes lenders are unable to confirm details submitted. If this happens to you they will ask you to forward some simple documentation to enable them to approve your loan.
Accept Loan Terms Sign your loan agreement electronically simply via the internet.
Funds in your account If you apply before 5pm Monday to Friday they could deposit into your account the same day.
Remember though, a Payday Loan is repayable on the agreed payment date.
Payday loans can help with various types of financial emergency. You can:
You can borrow from £80-£1000 depending on your circumstances. To find out how much you can borrow complete our quick payday loan application form today!
You are charged £25 per £100 borrowed – nothing more!
There are no arrangement fees to set up the loan.
Repaying your payday loan could not be easier.
The lender simply debits the payment from your debit card on your payday for the agreed amount – no fuss and nothing further for you to do.
Lenders do understand that occasionally people will need to borrow money for a second month. They call this a deferral. You will have to repay the charges and the lender will suggest you pay as much as possible to reduce further charges. If you feel you may need to defer your loan, please contact your payday loan provider directly.

The Gettysburg Address (p.480)
The Battle of Gettysburg, which took place in Pennsylvania in 1863, was a turning point of the Civil War. In that bloody three-day battle, Union forces prevented Confederate forces from moving north, thus confining the war mainly to the South. The battle left at least 51,000 soldiers dead, wounded , or missing.
On November 19, 1863, part of the battlefield was dedicated as a military cemetery. President Abraham Lincoln was asked to make some remarks at the dedication. Although very brief, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is considered one of the greatest speeches by a U.S. political leader. It is notable especially for its vision of American democracy.
After You Read
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.
1. What two American ideals seem most important to Abraham Lincoln? Do you agree with him? Explain.
2. What challenges does Lincoln propose for the future? How is honoring the dead connected to that challenge?
3. Find two examples of refrains in Lincoln's speech. What ideas is he trying to emphasize in each case?
4. Describe in a sentence or two what you think the theme, or message, of the Gettysburg Address is.

Welcome to the Angelic Teapot!
Earl Grey Tea
Angelic Teapot's Earl Grey has an unbelievable aroma that portends an unbelievable taste. We have been told repeatedly: "This is the best Earl Grey I have ever tasted."
Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with oil from the citrus bergamot fruit a sort of orange. Stories about the origins of Earl Grey are numerous. One such tale tells how a British diploma on a mission to China saved the life of a Mandarin. As a gift of gratitude, the diplomat was given the recipe for this flavoured tea. Upon his return to Britain, the diplomat presented the tea to the Prime Minister of the day, Earl Grey.
Angelic Teapot is committed to Enriching Lives One Teacup at a Time.
How to clean a Teapot
A Very important question that many people have asked…
To get tea stains off the inside of your teapot, put 2 tbsp of baking soda into teapot,
and then add boiling water to top. Leave 1/2 hour and then rinse thoroughly.

Calling all trolls: you'll have to come to our forum to comment next week
We are all very excited about our July 31 public forum on the future of the Bay Guardian and progressive journalism in the Bay Area. We've already received lots of great community support and input since our recent turmoil and leadership transition — and we want even more feedback as we work to rejuvenate the paper.
But there is one piece of advice that we've received over and over again from readers: do something about the trolls that pollute our comments section. So we've decided to turn that input into a little week-long experiment starting on the day of the forum. As we post next week's Guardian here at sfbg.com, we will disable the comments on the stories and in our blog posts that week.
We always welcome reader input and we appreciate thoughtful commentary, criticism, and debate on our stories, which we've seen plenty of this week, particularly in our posts on the Giants labor impasse, Board President David Chiu, privatization of the Botanical Gardens, problems at SFDPH, racial profiling, and our editorial on democracy, as well as on last week's op-eds on the Trayvon Martin aftermath.
Unfortunately, under the Guardian's bridge live a few nasty trolls who hate everything that we and our progressive community do and are usually the quickest to comment on the things we write, often making the same pointed, off-topic criticisms, over and over again. Sometimes it's racist, usually it's reactionary, often it's self-indulgent, and it always lowers the level of debate on our site.
Many of our regular readers and supporters have repeatedly told us the often toxic nature of these discussions chases them away and needlessly undermines the reporting and information that precedes it. Sometimes, we've seen organized misinformation campaigns from anonymous but clearly self-interested parties that post to our site, as we've seen in our coverage of Airbnb's legal troubles and tax avoidance.
So in addition to all of our proud, loyal, flesh-and-blood readers, we're hereby inviting all of our trolls -- Matlock, Lucretia Snapples, Anon, and all the rest -- to come to our forum and defend your domain. Among the many orders of business at the forum, we will consider changing our online comment policies and registration system, particularly as we redesign our website this fall.
If you want to comment next week, you're going to have to come to our forum. Or you can always send us good, old-fashioned letters to the editor, either through email (email@example.com or email@example.com) or snail mail. Then, in our Aug. 7 issue, we'll devote a page or two in the paper to those letters and the input that we receive at the forum.
We'll probably just leave our comments turned off for one week — but you never know. So for now, let us know what you think as we rethink our approach at the Guardian. And please stop by our event page on Facebook and let us know that you're coming to the event on July 31 from 6-8pm on the fourth floor of the LGBT Center, 1800 Market Street ... if you dare.
You never seem to ignore what you don't like.
Clarify your terms.
"The fact that some posters who are obviously opposed to either the politics of SFBG or the writers themselves obsessively post comments here is a testament to the importance of SFBG's articles and comment section since reasonable people rarely waste time responding to people or ideas that aren't serious or well-reasoned."
That is a convenient explanation but it isn't the only one. Here is another to consider.
SFBG writers, especially Steven, often say things that are not true or are gross misrepresentations pushed to the point of falseness. That is what many of the trolls respond to. Without the trolls Steven can say whatever he likes and there will not be an easy way for someone who arrived to the site via Google to see that his writings should be viewed with considerable skepticism.
Here is one example. If you go to the pro 8 Washington Facebook page you'll see that their 'trolls' are linking to an SFBG story (not Steven) talking about the $3 signature gathering proving how desperate the developer is. The SFBG story never mentioned, of course, the fact that the anti 8 Washington group also made extensive use of $3 signature gatherers.
The average person doesn't know that the SFBG produces extremely misleading information. At least the trolls were able to mitigate that and I can see why Steven wishes that they would go away.
is not the same as making things up. A progressive publication is selectively reporting negative things about the anti-progressive side? And this is different from the Comical doing the opposite thing, how exactly?
There are no objective media outlets. Unlike the Comical, the Guardian is just open about the fact that it's a progressive publication.
There is some degree of bias in almost any journal but I cannot think of one paper that is so totally riddled with prejudicial bias as this one.
And that of course is exactly why steven goes off on anyone who corrects or rebuts him. By dismissing his refuters as "trolls" or "racists" he hopes that at least some readers will take him at face value.
In the end, this is just a chatroom and we should accept all opinions. I doubt if more than a couple of dozen people read it anyway, and the idea that people criticize SFBG here only because it is so important, is laughable.
For me, for instance, I come here for light amusement and because I know of no other site where it is so easy to win a debate.
I don't think it's "hopelessly biased." It just has a progressive slant, like the Comical has a pro-corporate slant. The Guardian is more open about it's slant, but that doesn't make it more slanted. Just more honest. The Comical doesn't bother to respond to people they disagree with. They just ban them. I've given up reading that site long ago, because it's so hopelessly biased. And everybody knows that.
So someone on the far left (you) thinks SFBG has nothing more than a "slant" whereas to the 2/3 of SF voters who approve of Mayor Lee, it's very left-wing.
Likewise, I'd say the Chron is fairly liberal by national standards, and only appears right-wing to someone way over on the left.
The tired old "Ed Lee approval rate" meme, as if that proves anything. You know how the game is played, how candidates are created out of thin air when you have a corporate near monopoly of the media. Nobody knew who Ed Lee was a few years ago, but one treacherous vote allowed the machine to use an opening to let their candidate weasel his way in. Had that 6-5 vote gone the other way, the economy would still be in recovery, and 70% of the voters would be approving of mayor Hennessey, or Mayor Mirkarimi. And I could make the boastful claim that I'm sooo mainstream while you're far to the right. But I don't engage in that kind of cheap rhetoric, because you know it's BS, I know it's BS. But I'm not a troll. You're just trotting out the same meme to score a rhetorical point, not trying to have a legitimate debate. That's what trolls do.
I can guarantee you that a Mayor "wife-beater" Mirkamiri would not.
There's nothing unusual about having a moderate mayor in SF because it's a moderate city. Newsom, Brown and Jordan before him were similarly centrists. A progressive mayor hasn't happened, at least not since the ill-fated one-term Agnos.
I'm in a central moderate camp with those guys and you are way out in left field. I'm not the extremist here - you are.
Maybe Mayor Mirkarimi or Kim or Chiu or whatever would be just as popular as Ed Lee. Who knows. But we are stuck with this reality and Lee's approval rating has been objectively measured in the 60% range.
So bringing that up is what makes us 'trolls'? Cause we list something that actually exists as opposed to something that might exist in a parallel universe?
Is that the type of thinking that we need to get rid of?
when Newsom moved on and "if only" they could have gotten a leftie in the interim mayor role, then they think that momentum would have enabled them to do what they have never done, and that is somehow get a leftie elected in a city where 2/3 of the voters are moderates.
When a rather introverted bureaucrat like Lee can easily win an election against the sharpest guys on the left, you just know that the left can never prevail here.
And the demographic changes we are seeing in SF is making it less and less likely a leftie will ever win the mayoral office. The Gonzales near miss was perhaps their one chance, and even then they lost by a clear margin.
How much does Alex Clemens pay you to troll here?
ludicrous idea that the SFBG is so important the the establishment would need to pay people to post contrary comments here.
But of course a shred of evidence has never been advanced, and never could be. In truth, I wish such jobs existed, as I would love to be paid for doing what is merely recreational.
Except that you all are flailing at the prospect of losing your platform to hijack progressives, Alex is scrambling to figure out how to deploy his ersatz storm troopers lite to clear the way for him to make much more money.
commentators here clearly must have for censorship to be deemed a viable option.
I doubt any non progressive cares all that much about Pravda SF.
By the way...
SFBG used to have a sign in policy years ago, it never worked right and no one posted anything.
if not for the progressive triumphalism around the 00's. Ammiano and the rest of the progressive BOS gang were in the drivers seat giving all the peasants the finger for some time. Now Greg complains that the triumphalist rants are out of touch?
Alas there is always some reason the carpet is pulled out from the people who makes claims about speaking for the people. We are all duped and manipulated by the media it seems, if the world was fair to Greg's advantage the progressive 00's would have marched on endlessly. Alas we are all dumb and manipulated, the people who speak for the people say so.
As to Lee, as has been said before, progressive refuse to accept the reality of how Lee came to office. The progressives went into the end of Newsom situation with the express goal of putting "one of their own" into the mayors office. Progressives were quite willing to foist "one of their own" onto a city that was not electing progressive mayors. They got out schemed and then claimed it was all so unfair that they couldn't foist a minority position candidate on the population.
If only progressives had manipulated a minority party candidate into office they would be the majority party.
Greg remakes reality to suit his beliefs of the minute, while ignoring history he loves to claim to take part in.
into the mayors office but, of course, there was so much in-fighting between them, as there always is, that they could not agree on one person.
And so the guy the least number of people disliked got in instead, and is proving to be a very popular mayor.
So what's the problem, Greg?
Yes Greg, I can understand why the SFBG would be happy to report, for example, that the 8 Washington developer was paying signature gatherers $3.
But if they employed even the lowest journalistic standards they would have to stop and say to themselves "well, our side does EXACTLY the same thing,we need to acknowledge that somehow".
SFBG doesn't employ even those minimal standards which is why they get so much (deserved) ridicule.
If I was a progressive I would be pissed. Your positions could be advanced using enlightened integrity.
But Steven Jones is in no way up to that task, sorry. I think Vogt put him in his new position to embarrass you guys.
Collecting six times the signatures for a referendum than for an initiative within a narrow statutory timeline is next to impossible to do while any fool can qualify an initiative these days with volunteers.
I read the comments for their entertainment value. The actual articles in the Guardian are so doctrinaire, predictable, and dull, that but for the comments, I would not even bother to visit the website.
And it happens routinely in the comments, thanks to the diligence of the trollerati.
Keeping Steven honest R'us. It's an important service we provide free and gratis, pro publico bonum.
Progressives are like born againers, Randroids and any other political true belief group.
There is always some mitigating reason why they are correct.
The true believer progressive has built up defense mechanisms around being correct by nature of being correct.
"I read the comments for their entertainment value."
You find dysfunctional, cut and paste arguing and bullying entertaining do you?
You like diversity, right? This is San Francisco after all.
I admit it.
Put this in your search engine and use it (because you need it):
bay area psychotherapy
Yes, Progressives who are dysfunctional who cut and paste their arguing and bullying are extremely entertaining.
Cmon now. Watching Lilli lose his shit and start cursing out people who disagree with him and seeing Greg calling everyone bigots all while hating on cops and Asians is high comedy.
This page alone (ugh!) has turned into exactly why they're turning the comments off. It's the same "cut and paste troll material" one has read countless times before on this site from those whose hobby is arguing and trolling. Also, the bullying of Steven is really disgustingly low. I'm not sure what that's intended to accomplish? Since you don't like what he writes, you're not required to read it. But that's coming from an adult position and most of you have never reached adulthood regardless of your chronological age. You're pathetic and I hope they keep comments off permanently because all they do overall is degrade this site.
it's appropriate for people to point that out, lest some more niave readers relieve it just because it is written in black and white.
Writers and editors except criticism and correction. Indeed, they welcome the opportunity to grow and learn from it.
Sounds like you prefer to be spoon-fed your information.
Sounds like you don't know what the hell you're talking about as usual. And the word I think you were struggling for is "accept," but you wrote: "except"
They have different meanings (use your search engine).
Steven wants people to accept his word as gospel, and dislikes being challenged or called out. As he matures into his new-found authority, there is hope he will broaden his sensibilities so that he embraces a diversity of viewpoints.
The comments. criticisms and corrections issued here will surely help him on that path, if only he could realize that.
What I'd like to see is a comment system where users can ignore other users or unreigstered users and where comments were hidden based on a the ability to ignore a user and to allow users to be ignored based on a metric of how many registered users I like have ignored someone.
The Hypocrisy in your comment!
Users can ignore other users now. Use willpower. A special comment system is not needed for ignoring other users. All that's required is a person having the willpower and ability to click off or scroll on by and ignore. Apparently you don't possess either. Sounds like that of a very weak person. And as one of the most obnoxious resident right-wing trolls responsible for the comments being closed, why would you want to ignore anyone's comments?---the hypocrisy involved in that statement is amazing---because then you would have less people to troll.
like or agree with. In other words, he never wants to learn anything or be challenged.
As you say, easy to move on if you don't like some comment for any reason. We don't need a "system" for that - it's a basic human cognitive function.
Oh but there's more hypocrisy from "anon." Someone wrote a very lengthy post in this thread titled, "Avoiding Flame Wars and Starving Trolls" and "anon" wrote this hypocritical post:
"You're thinking about this WAAAAAY too much. Just lighten up, ignore what you don't like, and don't take everything so damn seriously. Jeez."
Meanwhile, "anon" is calling for a comment system that allows users to ignore other users. ("Do as I say, not as I do.") Did anyone ever think that "anon" was all there?
Sometimes anon is not always anon, funny how that works. You all are really underthinking this.
All I want is a "squelch" knob so that the signal to noise ratio is bumped up. We all read the dominant ideology in the mainstream media. Like the proselytizing Christians, the right wingers fail to realize that we've heard their schtick over and again, have declined to buy it and would rather focus our attentions on what is interesting to us instead of theoclassical economics.
It is trivially easy to be discriminating. Censorship is somebody other than you deciding what you will read or write - generally preferred only in communist and fascist regimes.
So you're suggesting that everyone make their private property available to anyone else without condition? You sound like you're a communist.
Most everything I read I disagree with. I'd like some space to read stuff I agree with and to discuss those matters with people with whom I agree.
it's that easy!
But then they couldn't troll, and this is about trolling and being an obnoxious asshole, not whether they agree with anyone political positions. That's just the smoke-screen distraction topic.
Far ehalthier than reading only what you agree with, as that way narrow blinkered thinking lies.
But when you read differing viewpoints, you can also add a broader context through constructive criticism. More enlightened souls welcome such diversity.
That was not "anon as anon," that was "not anon" as anon.
They don't make hip waders big enough.
Heading towards the merger of the SF Weekly Guardian!
Tim had occasional moments of comic genius - saying that housing in SF should be allocated by "seniority"; or devoting an SFBG cover story to a modestly famous filmmaker being thrown out of his rent-controlled apartment by an evil, heartless landlord, and then having it come out that the modestly famous filmmaker had owned a home in Portland for eight years.
I'm afraid that Steven won't be able to keep the lulz coming the way Tim did...
Has Johnny Angel been invited to the pow-wow?
And what about Tim? Has he been invited? He could make one of those surprise appearances like Sammy Davis used to do at the Dean shows.
Or perhaps you have a Restraining Order against him? After all, it might be awkward.

How is the pebble's actual timekeeping ability? Is it accurate? Can it be updated? If so, how accurate is the update? (self.pebble)
submitted 10 months ago by SchnitzelKing90
I ask these questions because I'm currently a pilot for the US Air Force and am looking for a new watch. Flying in the air force requires being able to "hack" your watch to the national standard time out of colorado. Is there an app out there that supports updating your time like this?
[–]chipsa 12 points13 points14 points 10 months ago
The time normally matches whatever your phone you have it paired with says. That is normally matched to GPS time, which is matched to NIST time. You'll be maybe a second or two off from NIST at most.
As far as setting the time on the watch, that's in the settings. Watch apps can't change it. That supports only to the minute changes.
[–]shoshtrvlsiOS 9 points10 points11 points 10 months ago
If you go to www.mypebblefaces.com there's a watchface for pilots with local and Zulu time, and several that show two time zones. Maybe one of those will work for you.
[–]ben_13 2 points3 points4 points 10 months ago
One thing I have noticed while traveling, and I'm not sure this applies to you while flying, when cruising a tune zone my phone automatically switched time but the pebble did not. So for some reason the pebble was showing off by an hour.
Recently I traveled from Ontario through Indiana then Illinois and finally into Wisconsin. Once I stopped in Illinois I noticed my pebble was still showing EDT but my phone had updated to CDT. I though maybe it just needed some time to adjust but after several more hours it just didn't happen. I tried to disconnect and reconnect in the app but no luck. I had to go into the settings on the pebble and adjust manually. On my return when I got into Michigan the Dame happened. I again waited an hour or two but had to change it manually.
I'm unsure if you guys in the air force set time to a specific time zone though?
[–]SchnitzelKing90[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
we usually just stick with zulu time. local time is nice but not critical
[–]JokerSage 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Happened to me as well. I just rebooted the Pebble for a fix.
[–]neoKushan 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Pebble syncs with your phone so it can be as accurate as your phone is. On my android device, I use clocksync to keep my clock as accurate as possible, even though network time (Where the phone normally gets its time from) is pretty accurate.
[–]spyd4r 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
if you leave the pebble disconnected from a phone it seem to lose time faster then i would of anticipated.
