1. Indexing – we are grateful for all the increased efforts with Indexing across the stakes in our area. We don't want you to slow down – so we hope you got the following information on a 2 day closure of Indexing – and please share this with anyone who asks – and reassure anyone who wonders what is happening:
"Recently so many volunteers have been coming to participate in this worldwide indexing effort that we've been experiencing some growing pains. The time it takes to sign in, and download and submit batches has increased significantly on some days. We apologize to any of you who felt your time was wasted during the longer waits, but we are excited that so many people want to join us in this indexing initiative.
This year is already a milestone year, and our indexing community has been doing such great work that we've decided to give everyone a couple of days off! Starting Monday, March 7, at 11:00 PM (MST, GMT-7) the indexing system will be down for approximately 48 hours. No batches can be downloaded or submitted while the system is down.
During this time, we will be moving our computer servers to a new data center with newer and bigger hardware. This will allow us to accommodate a heavier workload and keep up with all of the great work that is happening on a weekly basis.
For those who want to continue indexing during the downtime, you may download up to 10 batches before the shutdown, work on them offline, and then submit them when the system is back up.
There is a possibility that we won't need the full 48 hours to complete the move. We will send another e-mail when the system is back up. We hope that everyone will join us again at that time, refreshed and ready to continue this milestone year.
FamilySearch indexing is the largest indexing initiative in the world. Hundreds more volunteers are signing up every day. We thank you for your patience as we've experienced some growing pains. We hope this move to a new location will help everyone have a more enjoyable experience while indexing.
For questions or concerns, please contact FamilySearch support."
2. Church Missions – there is an urgent need for more part time Church Service Missionaries in the Family History area. Please look around – maybe even look in the mirror! You need to be available for at least 15 hours a week to serve from home. The following article from the Miller's Newsletter in New England gives more information:
What Do Family History Missionaries Do?
If you've wondered about Family History missionary activities you can serve – from your home, here are some thoughts on what it is like. Our appreciation to Elder Winston G. Allred, coordinator of Family Search Field missionaries, for providing information.
FamilySearch missionaries help patrons bring families together so temple ordinances can be provided. FamilySearch missionaries are called to serve in one of five different groups:
Product support: The main focus of this group is the new FamilySearch. Potential missionaries should have experience in the operations and purpose of FamilySearch.org.
Indexing support: Over 100,000 people around the world are helping to index millions of records so they can be searched online. Members who have experience in indexing and arbitration will enjoy this calling.
Research support: Patrons can talk to a qualified missionary and ask for guidance and direction in their efforts to research their ancestors. In addition, missionaries monitor the FamilySearch Wiki and familysearch Forums, making comments as needed.
Historical Records: FamilySearch contains millions of records. Missionaries serving in this group should be familiar with and know how to utilize these records.
Family History Center support: Directors and staff members in the thousands of centers will call these missionaries with questions about policies, procedures and equipment.
All of their training, their service and support, including spiritual support is conducted online over the internet as these missionaries serve in their home. It is important for potential missionaries to contact the FamilySearch Missionary Coordinator to explore the area they can be called to serve in and arrange to have their internet and computer capabilities assessed. The FamilySearch Missionary Coordinator can be contacted by calling 800-453-3860 ext. 20850 or by email at email@example.com.

Time came out with an article today in which they reported some very interesting numbers from from the pre-purchase and pre-order launch over the weekend. You might read the title of this post and think, "Pre-Launch record, uhm ok?," however, this record is pretty significant seeing as it means 400,000 were playing online during the Headstart not the official launch. Then you also have to factor in some of the other numbers contained within the article.
When it comes to pre-purchase, those people that put their money down on one of the three available additions of the game, the game sold very well.
In any case, publisher NCsoft is sharing preliminary numbers for all you MMO comparison wonks: Over one million players paid to play the game ($60 standard, $150 collector's, and it's free-to-play thereafter) during the three-day early start. And that's not counting the one-day preorders or, obviously, whatever sales the game enjoys today as it officially launches.
That's right, one-million people pre-purchased the game and that is a very strong number! But that number is vastly larger than the 400,000 user number mentioned as the title of this article. What does that number represent?
So that's sales, but how many people are actually playing this thing? During the headstart phase, NCsoft says demand for the game topped 400,000 simultaneous online players, calling it a "record-breaking" figure for an MMO pre-launch.
At the peak of game play there have been a very substantial amount of players all on at the same time. Check out the full article here for further information on this amazing feat, and congratulations to ArenaNet on a very successful launch!

This is a lovely church, interesting architecture from the Byzantine period and has some old wall paintings and icons.
This is a lovely church, interesting architecture from the Byzantine period and has some old wall paintings and icons.
We have visited The Curch of Spiridon a lots of times during the last ten years when we stayed in Corfu town or in Parga on the nearby coast. The chruch is our own holy place in Greece and we have saying when we throw some wine slots or other beverages away here at home that "this is för Spiridon".... More
Whilst wondering the cobble stoned pathways of Corfu you will end up in front of Agios Spiridon. A must visit place wether to worship, light a candle for the souls or just to sit and listen to the sermon.
Very nice church , where you can visit the reliocs of St. Spiridon , there are alot of Icons. Tip : if you buy a candle to light , you have to go outside to light it .
Must visit this..believe or not in Crist the holy spirit will give u lightness and the spirit of the saind Spyridon is there..u can feel it!!
This church in the centre of the old town is worth a visit. The coffin of the saint is paraded four times a year and rests in the church. The ceiling is beautiful and the quiet inside is restful
Different - very ornate. Would have preferred all the gold and silver to be sold and proceeds given to the poor!
Only takes a few minutes as the church is situated in the centre of the Old Town and well worth popping in. A good landmark too if you get lost!
We were visiting Corfu with Greek friends, who took us to see this lovely little church. The view of the church from the top of hill, before you descend is gorgeous. This building takes you back in time and it is an icon of the island and therefore a must see for visitors!
Is the Church with the tallest tower in the town. Consecrated to Corfu's patron whose relics remains are buried here. We like very much the fresco and icons and the tranquility.

Resource Type
Future geneticists use base pairing rules to build DNA and RNA polypeptide strands, and then explain both transcription and translation. Although the chains themselves are a little blurry, there is plenty of room in them for learners to fill in the missing complimentary base. This exercise provides essential practice when your class is studying molecular biology.
Young scholars see DNA as a physical building block of organisms and comprehend the basic structure of DNA and the specific components in its structure. They can explain the specific nature of base-pair matching in DNA and that DNA bases form specific sequences. Students perform an experiment in which they extract DNA from yeast and examine their DNA under a microscope.
Learners use COndon Bingo to decipher genetic codes. Students practice transcription and translation of codons while playing the game. They enjoy playing the game, while actively participating. Learners develop an increase proficiency at unraveling the gentic code found in the base pairs.
In this DNA worksheet, students review the base-pairing rules, transcription, and translation. Students determine the DNA complimentary strand and mRNA complimentary strand for a given DNA strand. This worksheet has 8 multiple choice, 1 short answer, and 4 problems to solve.
An excellent review of the very specific stages of mitosis, the detailed slides start with explanations of the directionality of DNA and then develop the concept of daughter strands. The intricate diagrams are intended for experienced biology students with prior knowledge of DNA structure. This would be an excellent slideshow to accompany a related activity such as blotting or electrophoresis.
After viewing this presentation, students create a complete set of notes to support their learning of DNA replication. Each slide has information on a step in DNA synthesis process. The slides focus primarily on the processes rather than the chemistry behind each procedure. Some of the diagrams have areas for the teacher to fill in descriptions at certain stages in the lecture.
Students create models of DNA and RNA using string and beads. In this genetics lesson, students use beads representing the four nitrogenous bases of DNA to create a portion of a strand of DNA and it's corresponding RNA. Then, students examine how many of their strands it would take to represent and actual strand of DNA and the number of bases it has.
With paper DNA patterns, budding biologists model translation and base-pair substitution within sequences. Through these activities, they examine how mutations can result in genetic disorders. The modeling that occurs is an enlightening and tactile method for learning about transcription and replication. Type up the instructions and discussion questions on a student handout to make your lesson flow.
Oh yes! Here is an all-encompassing seven-page worksheet that summarizes DNA processes and problems. Fifty questions review DNA structure, protein synthesis, and mutations with the aid of concise diagrams. This is so well-written that it could not only be used as a unit review, but also as a unit exam. You will simply need to white out the instructions at the top of the page that mention a specific test date before using this in your classroom.
In this DNA worksheet, learners fill in the missing base pairs of a DNA strand using the complementary base pair rule. Students then complete 5 short answer questions.

The Rowdies returned to the practice field Thursday morning at Al Lang Stadium as they prepare for the second match of a three-game homestand this Saturday night. Tampa Bay hosts the defending NASL champion Minnesota Stars FC at 7:30 p.m. at Al Lang Stadium this Saturday, June 30 on *tbt Night with the Rowdies.
Tampa Bay is on a two-match winning streak with come-from-behind victories in each of the last two weekends, including last Saturday's thrilling 3-2 win over San Antonio with two goals in the final minutes.
"I think everyone's confidence is really high right now coming off two big wins," said midfielder Keith Savage. "Practice has still been very intense but it just feels like a little bit of the stress has been lifted and I think that makes the quality improve."
Tampa Bay and Minnesota are meeting for the third time in the last six weeks, with the Rowdies undefeated against the Stars this season. The two teams played to a scoreless draw at Al Lang on Friday, May 25 and the Rowdies rallied for a 2-1 victory at Minnesota on Saturday, June 16 in the most recent meeting, with Savage coming off the bench to score the game-winner in the 87th minute.
"Everyone is just in good spirits and I think it is important for us to keep this winning streak going and continue to work our way to the top of the table," said Savage.
Following Saturday's home contest against the Stars, the Rowdies host Light Up the Bay 7.4 presented by Budweiser, their annual Fourth of July showdown with the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers at Al Lang Stadium, on Wednesday, July 4. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. and fans are invited to remain after the game to watch the City of St. Petersburg's fireworks from the field at Al Lang Stadium.

Big Brother 13 Houseguest Profile: Kalia Booker
July 6, 2011 |Today we're bringing you the girl who could prove to be the most manipulative, nasty, back-stabbing wench in the house. And she admits it right up front!
Philadelphia native Kalia Booker, who now lives in Los Angeles, describes herself as "dramatic, adventurous and gregarious." She also admits to a serious fear of snakes, which we hope will lead to a fabulous BB13 challenge at some point involving slithering reptiles.
For her strategy on winning Big Brother 13, Kalia says she plans on being "everyone's best friend in that house, every single solitary day," according to Zap2It.com She plans on "making sure that I have some kind of intense, emotional, 'let's share' conversation with everyone in the house so everyone thinks the bond they have the most is with me." Meanwhile, Kalia will be living by her own personal BB13 motto: "Trust nobody and lie to everyone."
Kalia Booker has wisely restricted her Facebook page from public consumption, but she does have the cutest picture of herself in what looks like some sort of prom/bridesmaid dress as her profile pic. Kalia has also closed the door on her Twitter feed as well. No fair! We LOVE to see what contestants have stupidly said on their Twitter feeds before being cast to Big Brother.
According to her official CBS Big Brother 13 bio, Kalia Booker is a writer and amazingly enough, that does actually appear to be what she does for a living. You know how it is on Big Brother usually. They say they are an accountant, but they are actually an aspiring model/actor who once did their own taxes. They say they want to be a doctor, they are actually studying acting classes in college, not biology. That sort of thing.
But no, Kalia Booker really does appear to be a writer — unless there are two of them out there doing the same kind of gigs. We checked out quite a few Kalia Booker articles at JoonBug.com, mostly about fashion and nightclubs, etc. From the articles it appears Kalia previously lived in New York before moving to Los Angeles quite recently. We did discover in one of these articles that Kalia apparently speaks German and spent a summer traveling through Germany and "got wasted no matter what beer was thrown in our faces." Despite, of course, being underage according to American law. There's no such stinking thing as underage in Germany!
We also found articles from Kalia in various other locations around the Net, including this one at News One for Black America (part of the BlackPlanet Universe) on the Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend.
Now, Kalia may not be yet another typical Big Brother 'model/actor' type per se, but she does have that pageant background more than a few female BB houseguests have laid claim to. We found a pic of Kalia apparently singing her heart out at the 2005 Miss MidState Scholarship Pageant. Although she did not win the pageant, she did win both the Overall and Non-Finalist Interview Awards. A Kalia Booker was also apparently a contestant in the Miss Philadelphia 2005 Pageant. She ran on the platform of "In Search of Me – Promoting Positive Role Models in the Media to Deter Eating Disorders and Poor Self-Image." She was the runner-up in that pageant.
Oh and yes, at some point back there in the past at Upper Dublin High School in Philadelphia — Kalia Booker's home town — she may have indeed been dreaming of an acting career. An article on Philly.com talks about a Kalia Booker leading "her classmates through the bouncy moves she had choreographed for the opening number of Return to the Forbidden Planet." Apparently, back then, this Kalia Booker was also fond of Timberland construction boots. Sadly, in a poll at MisterPoll.com picking the top five most talented female alumni of Upper Dublin High School, Kalia Booker scored no votes.
So, okay, maybe Kalia really is just another damn aspiring model/actor wannabe after all. But then again, would you honestly go out for Big Brother if you didn't have that in you somewhere?
Kalia has managed to lock up most of her personal info on the Net, but we did discover she has a sister named Dr. Erin Brett Booker Bowman and brother-in-law named Brandon Bowman who live in Atlanta. Kalia was the Maid of Honor at their wedding. They are a seriously cute couple too. Oh, and it looks like Kalia's mom is a doctor as well according to the article, Dr. Naomi Johnson-Booker. And look out guys, according to her Facebook profile, Dr. Johnson-Booker is single and looking for men! Speaking of Atlanta, there is also a Kalia Booker listed as a Spelman College alumni of 2003, but we couldn't verify it was the same person.
A Kalia Booker apparently follows the blog JovianZayne.com and once commented on a pole climbing monkey video. The website linked to her username on the blog, however, is now defunct and sadly could not even be revived via The WayBack Machine.
At some point back in 2009, a Kalia Booker posted under the ID "Special Agent Change" here quoting Barack Obama doing a bit of light Republican bashing. So we can probably assume that this Kalia Booker was an Obama supporter and likely a Democrat.
So far this year we haven't had the fun of coming across any nude pics, criminal records or other naughty bad stuff in the Big Brother 13 houseguests' backgrounds. Ah well. Either they have picked a much less raunchy batch of contestants this year… or they are doing a much better job cleaning up after themselves on the Net than they used to!

If I Have to look at Porka's NASTY Muffin Top And Huge backside as she keeps stuffing her fat face, I think I will Barf!! Girl Go To Jenny Craig !!!!!
Judas? Don't hate the pelyar; just the game. Rachel sucks in more ways than one. Get a blacklight in that HOH room. Production doesn't have enough tools to clean up the DNA left by those nasty couple of Brenchel.
Kalia is now in this one deep and since she has nominated Jeff for eviciton, she now needs to split up the last love and personal couple in the house and put Jordon up on the block as the replacement nominee. Jordon is the only one in the house with a fighting chance.But either way, another veteran goes home.
Kalia you Psycho, Get some therapy. and Go to Jenny Craig you fat PORKER!!!!
Kalia I hope u get at least second place . I think Racheal has played harder and has the love of BB. You came in to stay close to other players which is a good place to be. So next to Racheal is the best u could do. You had a game start and ending strong.
Not a chance! Kalia has shown herself to be a "floater". The best thing she does is stuff her mouth at every chance she gets. Not a good game player. Remember she and Porch were puppets of Daniele. And, they allowed themselves to be her puppets.
If I wasn't already so tired, I would watch Showtime tonight, since the show was preempted by the Cowboy game. Somebody save me from Jerry Jones!
Kalia can't seem to figure out that all her constant talking is agrivating her throat more. She even talks when she is coughing. If there is a medic on staff, please treat her sore throat with a gag. Tell her to rest her vocal cords.
There is another way to save the after dark viewers. The voice on the intercom needs to say, "Kalia, please take OFF your microphone."
Go Racheal
I didn't know this was an vrseion of the Kenneth Copeland show. I thought this BB13 and Jeff's victory. Thank you Jiggaboo for sharing your thoughts but let's keep your religious comparisons to yourself. No cares to hear them.
The clothes you picked out all of the girls are to big and don't compliment your shapes. They look like housemom clothes and you guys are not or married or w child. Get some that fit these are refundable I hope donate them as soon as possible! cozy but no right sz or styled
Wait until they was these new clothes. They will not be so loose.
Kalia is freaking out. She is telling Porsche that Adam is not using logic by saying he is not changing the nominations that Rachel made: Porsche and Kalia. Her logic is that he should take her off and put Jordan up instead. She is telling this to Porsche, who will remain on the block. Kalia is in a panic because she voted to send Adam to the jury last week, and Adam knows it. She is in a total panic. He feels strongly that Rachel and Jordan are the reason he is still in the house.
Another incidence showing what an idiot Kalia is. She's outta there! Bet she uses those tactics on her parents to get anything she wants. I know her MO.
If Kalia had a nickle for every time she interrupted other people, she would have $500,000. Adam could not finish his sentences for both Kalia and Porsche talking over him. If Adam needs a reason to help Kalia go to the jury house, it would be to get away from Kalia's constant chatter. Porsche needs to realize that Kalia is the target to leave, not her, and she needs to ride out this week and move on to the next opportunity to get HOH.
Both of those girls are rude to the point of ridiculousness. If they would shut up long enough to listen they might hear something!
Thanks for the recommendations on creidt repair on all of this web-site. The things i would tell people is to give up the actual mentality that they buy currently and fork out later. As being a society many of us tend to try this for many things. This includes vacations, furniture, and also items we wish. However, you need to separate a person's wants out of the needs. While you are working to fix your creidt score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you may shop online to economize or you can look at second hand stores instead of highly-priced department stores for clothing.
Yep, those 2 are driving Adam mad! Everything they say is just driving in another nail toward their eviction.
How does it feel, Kalia? You laughed at/ridiculed every one else who was in your spot. Now it is your turn to weep and plead and complain about your status -(broke). I don't know why someone doesn't tell J about how you keep saying: 'J doesn't even want to be here', etc. (cry, sob, whimper) Your mouth is always open -either eating, talking, butting in on conversations, talking over other people, talking with your mouth full and I do mean 'full'! or bragging about yourself. If either you (oops! you're out) or Porch-cha-cha win anything I think all of BB fans will be (so) unhappy.-
We must be looking at the same after dark show. While Kalia is crying her eyes out, maybe she will reach in the tissue box and find Rachel's beany bag Rotweiler. Maybe she could give it back to Rachel and get back into her good graces. Fat chance, huh.-
Sure enough Kalia had the beany bag Rotweiler. Not only ghat she had the missing chess pieces. This is not saying much for her character. Thievery in the house was running amoke. it seems to have started with Daniele. Then those who wanted to impress Danni were anxious to impress her with what they could: Kalia, Shelly, & Porsche. These four were trying to keep the house feeling insecure so they would not do well in the games. Instead they were constantly worrying about being found out. They could not keep up with all their dishonesty.
OMG does she ever even stop talking to take a breath she is "like literally" driving me insane… please go away.. most annoying person everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr pretty ugly to. Hard to watch hard to listen to never shuts up, keeping mute button cclose at hand whenever the show her.
Kalia talks too much; no one likes someone who throws a pet against the wall. She needs to pack and take Porsche with her.
I have to fast forward when she is talking.
She is so annoying i just can't stand it…
She will never get a job writing…….
I will be so glad when she is gone…… -
If you want to see "The View" Big Brother style, then watch the conversations with Kalia because the others have decided to just talk while she talks. She talks loudly and rapidly until all you hear is just -la la la la la la la la. Adam doesn't even get around Kalia any more because she has "strong armed" him with her telling him he needs to use the veto on her.
Damn, Why are you hating on Kalia, one would think she's the only one playing the game, get a life MS KITTY!
Why curse at me for expressing myself in this free nation that even encourages free speech. As far as getting a life, you might do well yourself to take this advice. Maybe getting an education could be a part of this life you seek. My best wishes to you. Understanding freedom of speech has no racial or color boundaries might be a good start.
What does Kalia's getting sent to jury house have to do with who is president of the United States of America? People earn their place in this world by what they do and who they know. Obama will have to live with the decisions he has made. We have to live with the decisions he made as well. If people don't want Obama to make their decisions they need to take it to the polls. Likewise, if those decisions were good then taking it to the polls will result in Obama getting re-elected. Time will tell.
jim if it sictpred then dont watch.and keep your 2 cents in your pocket jackazzz
OMG! Kalia makes me want to kill myself! Shut your pie hole and take a breath sometimes! Can't wait to see her obnoxious, pouty self go out the door.
Your request has been granted. She if finally out,"thanks to Adam" you or anyone else will not have to listen to her annoying voice ever again. Well maybe at the finale.
I think I know why every1 hating on her!
Im so glad Kalia is GONE i can finally watch BB after dark without her 24/7 mouth!
Me too Blueangel! I was so afraid she might actually win! On Finale night – she and Shelly will be talking about how they 'saved' everyone even tho they never had any 'power' or ability to do so. And how they could have won if…….
Since we have heard about a double eitivcon coming up, I say put up Kalia and Danielle, hopefully BOTH of them will be sent to the jury house and Porsche, Adam, and Shelly will know they had better tow the line with the vets. I would like to see the smirks wiped off the faces of Kalia and Danielle, to let them know they are not nearly as good as they think they are. Especially Kalia's rather wicked looking face! I won't miss seeing Danielle fondling her hair and swooping it over one shoulder or another like she's some kind of a beauty queen (she's so full of herself in that way).
Every other word out of Kalia mouth was "like"…."I was like no way and she said like yes way" blah blah blah. If I ever here the word "like" again I will scream.
That is one sweet girl. I'm sure she's well taken care of by her two brothers. You think he'll try to sell that on e-bay once he's older and sptarped for cash? JUST KIDDING .What did you think of Dolly's song on Idol Wednesday night? Pretty cool huh? AND the Clark Brothers .I'm sure Simon didn't get the whole night. We had church during Idol.
I don't ever think a person of color will ever win BB, and I will take wagers that Jeff or Jordan, wins America's choice, its so sad that you people will never let it go. And when President Obama gets reelected next nov. I look for some of u will blow ur brains out!
So if a person of color thinks that Kalia was talking so much that it was a A
annoying, then he/she might take your advice and blow his/her brains out. Little do you know the color of the writer. Just because I like cats then I must be a color that you see as hating Kalia for being black. I don't hate Kalia. I simply don't like all her rude talk. Don't take it personal. My comments are certainly not and attack on any race because of color. What color do you think I am? Not all educated writers are white. -

Every contestant has a chance to win. win a few and lose a few. Thats life. Maybe no one will have to blow their brains out.
By far the most annoying person to ever play BB so far…
Now go have a Doughnut rrrrrr 12 LITERALLY!!!!
Really, you DESERVE it!! -
all you have to do is search her facebook through google it'll pop right up ppl dnt know even if you disable ppl from searching you. you can still search another way
Simply awesome, I actually never used PS before and I've never even thought I need it, but there is something about this CS5 that makes me wanna buy it

Sunday 1 July 2012: Time flies
We are exactly half way through the year. It's scary to think how fast it has flown in.. This photo was taken ten years ago. So much has changed and our friendship group has been broken apart. We all still speak but we don't hang around as much. Rosie is in England and everyone else is away to UNI after the summer. The joys of been a year younger than them.

Library Design Showcase
Building Libraries Abroad
A new project that launched today aims to raise enough money to build a library in an otherwise book-free neighborhood in India.
The Buy India a Library project, which grew out of a Twitter discussion, is hoping to raise at least 1,250 pounds (U.S.$1,943). That's enough to pay for furniture, books, and two years of a librarian's salary through the Good Gifts Catalogue, a British charity.
"Although that's more money than I have on me, it's not actually more money than you can raise with the power of the internet and networking," said Andromeda Yelton, who is leading the endeavor with Justin Hoenke of Portland (Maine) Public Library, Danish librarian Jan Holmquist, and British librarian Ned Potter.
The team is raising money through PayPal donations on its blog. Twitter discussion of the project is taking place under the #buyalib tag.
Suggestion of village in India to help
My sister Iris and the organization she is associated with Mt. Madonna Center in Watsonville, California help support an orphanage in Shyampur village, India. The orphanage could use a library and/or new books for their school.
Thanks so much for getting
Thanks so much for getting the word out, Greg!
A Great Project!
The more I heard about this project and discussed it with Andromeda, the more I was convinced. Thanks for creating this opportunity for sharing resources, monetary on our part and library materials/space/staff for the community that will be served.

Pluck Insite: citizen blogs
Following Technorati's idea of partnering their blog service with News affiliates, and following the idea of branded news aggregators (such as Newsburst), Pluck have release Pluck Insite.
Pluck Insite takes this type of partnering a deeper and awesome step further by offering branded feed readers and ready to use built in community multi-blogs as part of the newspapers website
…this is really going to bump blogging and RSS more into the mainstream.
From their press release:
"…provide online publishers and web sites with new ways for their readers and community members to stay informed and participate in the citizen journalism process around their communities and topics of personal interest
…citizen journalists…can easily express opinions and create dialogue around local and national news, events, sports, politics and life in general.
From Outsell:
"The local newspaper's mindshare is eroded on the one hand by very compelling local coverage being provided by bloggers, and on the other hand by certain types of content, such as national and international news, that is better provided by other publishers. Pluck's software allows a local newspaper to harness both, by hosting local blogs and by helping users assemble their own coverage of other published sources, all within the local publisher's site and under its brand. It allows a local paper to compete with major portals for readers who are currently going elsewhere for external content…"
Before we had opinions and letters to the editor, now Pluck Insite turns this citizen participation into the blogosphere with tagging to boot.
Now people have a space to express and discuss their reactions to the news, they are also able to be pro-active (generate their own type of news content) and also add insight from news that is external to the given community.
So the blogosphere will no longer be competition for breaking news (well at least lessen the blow) as they, the news sites themselves, are embracing it for their own benefit (you want to participate in the blogosphere, here's a blog, go for it, interact, see your thoughts on the net…)
…not only do they get a blog, but they are instantly part of a blog community (multi-user blogging system).
It's like having a whole bunch of journalists for free (in some cases), and more traffic to the site (definetly).
Anyone can set up a multi-blogging system on their website, newspapers seem a perfect type of website to do this sort of thing, as they already have visitors or a community, (who sometimes need an outlet of engagement)…and if they don't have plenty to talk about themselves, they can just react to the local news coverage (everyone's got something to say, and for your thoughts to be online for others to see is exciting).
NOTE: I wonder what the screening process, editorial control will be like (each blog has a note disclaimer).
Here's an example (looks great!)
Here's an example of an individual blog.

WASHINGTON — The Washington Redskins' team name has been the subject of legal battles, political debate and now will be part of a scholarly discussion at the Smithsonian about the use of Native American mascots and nicknames in American sports.
The National Museum of the American Indian will host a daylong symposium Thursday entitled "Racist Stereotypes and Cultural Appropriation in American Sports." Scholars, sports writers and Native Americans will gather for the public discussion.
The Redskins' name, perhaps the most visible, has been the subject of ongoing debate. As recently as Tuesday night, Washington Mayor Vincent Gray specifically avoided saying the name of Washington's NFL franchise in his State of the District speech and instead referred to "our Washington football team."
Museum Director Kevin Gover, of the Pawnee Nation, said the name "redskins" is the most offensive term for a team, at least to his ear.
"It is the equivalent of the n-word," Gover said. "That's how it was used when I was a child. That's the name people chose to call me if they wanted to hurt my feelings, and I think that's still the case in many circumstances."
The Redskins' name and logo was part of a 17-year court battle with a group of American Indians who say the name is offensive and want it changed. In 2009, the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the Native Americans based on the age of the plaintiffs. There is now a new case filed by younger plaintiffs that is due for a hearing in March at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Former Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who will attend the symposium, said he introduced a bill in Congress about 20 years ago to block any federal land for a stadium for any team that carried a derogatory name. He debated with then-Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke, who cited public polls supporting the name, before the Redskins opted to move to a site in Maryland.
"From my perspective, it's just a matter of basic fairness for anybody that's of a minority culture," Campbell said. "There are derogatory names for any group. Most of that has been cleaned up, there's been so much public pressure ... but unfortunately, it has not been that way for Indians."
The team did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
Since the 1970s, hundreds of high school and college teams have done away with Native American nicknames, though many others remain. In 2005, the NCAA announced it would ban the use of American Indian imagery and nicknames at postseason tournaments. Some schools were granted exceptions with the support of tribes, such as the Florida State Seminoles.
The museum plans to explore the roots of Indian imagery in sports and elsewhere in American life. Gover said he's been thinking about the debate over such mascots since he was 15, attending junior high school in Norman, Okla., when the University of Oklahoma had a mascot called "Little Red" who would dance after the Sooners scored a touchdown. The university was among the first to abandon that mascot. Other prominent changes were made at Stanford University and Dartmouth.
"There's actually a long tradition in American life of 'playing Indian,' of pretending to be an Indian," Gover said.
In the nation's early years, fraternal organizations were formed around made-up Indian rituals and ceremonies in many Eastern cities, he said. In the 20th century, he said, the focus shifted to the theory that the Indians were on their way to extinction and "we're going to assert the right to represent who they were."
Professional sports teams using Native American names and imagery emerged around that time. The Washington Redskins were originally the Boston Braves, but owner George Preston Marshall changed the name in 1933 to avoid confusion with a local baseball team. The team moved to Washington four years later.

Cute little tech coffeeshop with lots of tech coffee equipment and one of the nicest baristas I have yet to meet in this town. Two doors away from it's parent Stumptown, which is much larger and busier, this little hideout is great for a quick fix.
Free tastings. I came for the free tastings (they have them from noon-2), I stayed because of the atmosphere. I'm not a coffee snob, but the coffee here is really good. The space was pretty relaxed and they played good music. I had to get some work done so I sat there with all my materials and wasn't hassled. Nice people too.

Jonatha Storm, the only air-capable member of the Mega-Scale Metatalent Response Team Fantastic Four. Hotheaded, Asuka-esque, and half-sister of Sioux Storm, Jonatha has a glass jaw for everything but Toughness saves. She's no slouch, though - she's a capable threat to any PL 10 character.
However, the Xenocultures the MSMRTFF fights generally aren't...PL 10.
So, Jonatha and her allies have that Power Pack. The Power Pack is a standard issue 36 points (4/rank) device that boosts all powers by 10 and adds Protection 5 (when you're in the middle of your uber Mega-Scale Metatalent Manifestation, you're a scary bugger).
Note that of course these are PL 10/PP 150 builds. When fighting Xenoculture Giants, up the PL to 20, but otherwise, leave them as they are. (Except Reed - he sucks, but he can inspire everybody)
Yes, the FF get cosmic powers when they're mega-scale. Duh.

Liberty and Freedom
This is a great op-ed piece that shows us we are all in danger with this president. Our system of government should not allow this. Read the article and let me know what you think. http://townhall.com/columnists/judgeandrewnapolitano/2012/05/04/the...
The op-ed piece is spot-on. Judge Napolitano's credibility is high enough to get his Fox News TV show dropped. I like the judge because he has a strict interpretation of the Constitution….as does Ron Paul.
How much power the Executive Branch has, has been a contentious issue from the beginning. The presidential use of drones is authorized under the 1973 War Powers Act and the 2001 AUMF which precede BHO, as Napolitano points out in his op-ed.
This Glenn Beck video provides a synopsis of the basis and danger of BHO's political philosophy. What Beck doesn't cover is BHO's Muslim background or his conversion to Christianity. For some 20 years, BHO attended the church services of Reverend Wright. Wright was a Muslim and schooled in Communist sponsored liberation theology in Central America prior to his conversion to Christianity and move to Chicago.
I doubt that BHO has a single supporter in the ranks of SWMTPP. Indeed, SWMTPP is an activist group for his replacement, and his congressional supporters: Levin, Stabenow, and Upton. These 3 voted for the 2012 NDAA and Upton voted for CISPA.

Install hooks in RV walls?
We bought 2 tension rods that are set up in the shower. Any dripping, drips into the she tub and down the drain and the sun dome helps dry the towels/clothing. To hang things like clocks, etc we use those Command Strip Hanging Hooks.

What are your fun family activites while camping?
Of course it depends where you go and who goes with you. Our kids like to swim or go down waterslides. We also take along little ceramics and paints you can buy at Wal*Mart. Glowsticks and Jiffy Pop (with extention) to pop over the fire. Bikes or golf cart rentals to look around at other's sites to get ideas. Bubbles and ballons and big chalk.

Family Camping
Different models/types of HTT and lots of questions
I have a 3 bed unit. It is nice because when you have extra going camping with you because with family and friends knowing you have a unit someone else will sometimes go along. More room=more space for all. When someone doesn't go along extra you have extra storage space to put things. We have a KZ which we love because they are the only company we found with a 2 year warranty and we and others who have had an issue or 2 after warranty have been well taken care of by the company. They really stand behind their product. JMHO.

I would also dispute it through your credit card company for not being able to provide services you paid for. Alot a campgrounds have a policy related to weather but mainly cover rain or snow or other weather but not the kind that totally disable the campground. I agree that you should have gotten a refund back on your card. Let them also know that you have posted on a popular forum your problem and that you would type an update if the problem resolves.

Roof Damage
Looks like the membrane is bubbled in a few areas and should be cover under warranty. I would take it back or call the dealership and ask what you should do before applying any tape which may cause damage when they are looking at it to determine the cause. They may quick fix it with dicor caulking and have you come back.

Refridge Tube ??
I pulled the vent cover off the camper today for the first time and noticed a white tube with a black plug like thing on it which ended by sitting in a small black water catch that had some water in it. Is this the but from the drain catch inside the fridge? I see alot of them coming out of the vented areas on campers. Why is this? Do some have trays and some don't?

Not that I won't forget to look at the note but we have a little sticky note next to the hot water switch so that when we are breaking down we remember to turn off the hot water tank as not to burn it up like I've heard others have done. It seems we all learn by the things we have done.

Frequent Camper, First Disney Trip - Advise Suggested!
Sorry for the lenght of this post but it is what I kept messaging to another forum member and just combined the information for this post. Anyway depending on your family size and what you are looking for I hope this will help as it did with our family of 5 or more and on a budget. Now what I suggest may sound cheap to others but in our family we try to take in consideration the pros and cons of what to spend money on and what to save for, what we can't do today so that we can do tomorrow. With that said here are some of the things we do to save. First on the tickets. If you are going to be there for 7 days and are not sure of the the weather or the number of days you are going to parks then just buy tickets for 2 days. You can add additional tickets for the decreasing price as long as you do it within 14 days of the 1 use of the tickets. Instead of buying a ticket for every day and maybe skipping a day or more you will save on not buying un needed tickets. We don't bother with the hopper tickets because its hard enough to do most things in 1 park in 1 day than thinking hopping to another park in the same day. You can plan your parks based on the extra magic hours since you stay on property. You will either get into the park earlier or stay later that those who don't stay on the property. We perfer the 3 additional hours at night instead of the one hour before (more time). You may want to consider water parks and more for those who want to go to the water park or the 5 story video game (Disney Quest) which my boy loves. For only a 1 time charge (at the time $55 each ticket) you get the same amount of days to the water park or Disney Quest. The cost for 1 ticket to a water park or to the Quest is $50 each. Only me and the boy did the water parks and Game Quest addition since our girls are still little and the wife wasn't interested. If you want to do this than you may want to purchase as least 2 days at one time then you will get the 2 days at either the water park or Disney Quest for just $55 each person. Since we are old at 40 years old we can't do a park each day so we usually do one everyother day and rest inbetween at the water park-WDW pool-riding the monorail or buses around to look at the other properties--Downtown Disney. Golf Cart Enterprises is the name of Golf Cart Rental Company who will deliver the cart to the front parking lot of the Fort Wilderness Property. They are about 1/2 the price of renting the disney carts. If you have stayed there before you will know that walking the campground is not a great option but they do run buses close to each loop of the campground if you don't want the expense of golf carts. The more carts the better the price they offer--they meet all WDW FW rules for golf carts. We also like to take the water taxi over to the parks which the kids love but give yourself time depending on when you go for any crowding and same goes for the buses. If you leave the parks a little before or later than closing then you should be okay. The bath houses and laundry are great at the campground. For food options we drove to the local Wal*Mart in Orlando and stocked up on foods for breakfast and to make sandwiches to take into the park . You can take water (which we bought those flavoring packs), plastic soda, crackers packs, fish crackers, licorice, slim jims, etc. The great things for kids that you take a stoller for is that you can buy a collapsible cooler that you can fill and hang on the back of the stroller and eat while walking around the park. We don't like full stomaches on hot days and wild rides=equals sick. When we do get food at the parks we usually order an adult meal and maybe a side for the kids and have them split it because they don't eat much. We have our own water bottles with flavoring and soda we take in so that saves on the drink costs. (keep hydrated) Also you don't have to take in to many bottle because they have fountains all over the parks to refill (we keep forgetting that and taking in to many). We also hold off on the kids getting things like icecream during the day and have it as an insentive for being good through the day. We also buy icecream to put in the freeze at the camper or hotel. Something to remember is that they check all bags (coolers, purses, camera bags, fanny packs, etc.) before you go into a park so be prepared to pull things out so they can see the bottom of the bags so pack smart. Again a stroller is great. You can also rent strollers at the parks and pay a one time fee for a ticket that you take with you to each park and just pick up the stroller when you first go in. If a stoller is not needed for the kids they you can rent a locker that you can get into through out the day this is the same for the water parks. FYI there is also a McDonalds near the Value Resort that has good prices. Although a little higher than typical McDonalds it still cheaper than a $5 Hamburger some other place. As for the refillable mugs at the campground or other properties $15 is to much for us and much cheaper again to have our own drinks. An option may be to by a mug at one of the stores and just fill it with your own drinks. I forgot on page 2. While stocking up at WalMart they also have lots of real Disney Licensed items like shirts, mugs, pins, etc which are much cheaper than on property. Maybe get the kids shirts there instead of the properties. On property everything costs the same no matter where you go (ie. the same shirt will cost at the campground store as it does at the park store). We collect one trader pin each time we have gone for the kids for a collectors lanyard so they remember the trip. They can also trade those with any cast members who are wearing lanyards (there are hundreds of pins at costs from $6 on up) The pins are not one of there allowances, its just something we do. Speaking of allowances the kids are allowed a certain amount to spend for example $30 each (3 kids=$90). They are not allowed to buy on the first 2 days, just window shop. They have the option to spend it anyway they wish up to the $30 which they can combine with their own money. They can buy one thing for the amount or several times. About the tickets. Some people buy tickets for all the days they are at Disney. If they go for 7 days they buy 7 days of tickets. We only buy 2-3 days of tickets at first then we can add addition days for the discounted price as if we bought them all at one time. My thought is that if you buy 7 days of tickets and it rains for a day or two or you decide to stay at the campground and swim for a day or go to a water park or shopping, etc. then you didn't waste your money on 7 days if you only go 3 or 4. Also for example if you buy 3 days of tickets for the parks (magic kingdom, epcot, hollywood, animal kingdom) and decided to add for $55 the water parks and more then you have 3 tickets to the parks and 3 tickets to use for either the water parks or the Disney Quest. Again you don't have to add the waterparks and more to all your tickets. For example if you and your husband aren't interested in the waterparks or the game room then just add the waterparks and more to the ones who will go to them. The park hopper additional purchase can get you into several parks in one day but again I don't understand myself why someone would do this. Hope this explains it a little better but if not let me know. Also I forgot to tell you about the fireworks you can watch from the beach area at the campground which is great. Also any parades at the parks you want to see, plan on getting there about 1/2 hour ahead of time to let the kids sit near the ropes or the adults will block there views. This is a good snack time and the actors will sometime come over and shake the kids hands and a great opportunity for pictures. Fass pass is where some rides have a machine you put your ticket (some are like credit cards) in and it gives you a card for a later time you can come back and get in a shorter line. Not all rides have this. For example. Its 1200 and the line for Space Mountain is long. You put your tickets in the Fass Pass machine and it gives you a ticket to come between 1:30 to 2:00 (the machine doesn't keep your original ticket card so don't worry). You go ride or do something else and come back between 1:30 and 2:00 and you get into the special Fass Pass line which there could be no wait or sometime maybe up to 15 mins to get on the ride while the general line may have a very long wait. In short. Put your park ticket in the Fass Pass machine. Get your park ticket back and an additional card with a time to come back. Do that and give the attendant your Fass Pass card and you have only a short wait compared to the general line. By the way you need to do this for each person wanting to ride. There is something else. For example if you have a child that doesn't want to ride you see the attendant at the beginning of the line and ask for an exchange pass. One adult stays with the child or children who don't want to ride(or can't due to height restrictions) and the others ride. After the person who didn't ride (with the exchange ticket) can go through the fass pass line with 2 others without waiting in the long line. Again, the exchange ticket is gotten from the attendent at the beginning of the line. FYI-to keep the cooler cool don't use ice. Either buy a gel like pack and freeze in your freezer or freeze a bottle or 2 of water and use them last if needed. I also take a couple of bandaids and the cold water is good for scrapes. My kids take after their mother and are bound to get a scrape/bump etc. No straws allowed in the animal kindom due to the animals (park rules) Also avoid chocolate and those sticky gummy things or plan on alot of hand wiping if hot outside. We also like frozen grapes. Take in only a small camera that you can put in your pocket or fanny pack so it doesn't get wet and you don't have to carry it all day. They have something called photo pass in which Disney photo people will take your picture and give you a card which you can access when you get home on your computer. Secret/hint---they pictures are very pricey to get and they have something that blocks you from being able to copy/paste the pictures from their site. Take you camera and have the photo person take your pictures with their camera and they they will take it with yours if you ask. So now you have your pictures on your camera for free and you don't have to pay the high prices for theirs. I don't know the ages of your kids going but I would write contact information on a paper and then cover it with plastic wrap or something incase you are separated. Let your kids know who are Disney people so they can find them and give them the paper with the cell phone and name information. We were getting our group picture done this last year where the Christmas lights were and when we turned around our 12 year old boy wasn't there. Panic but found a couple mins later. He had turned and though someone else was a family member and started to follow them before seeing it wasn't but Thank the Lord he was then smart enough to stand in one place for use to find him. Other than people trying to get through the crowds most are friendly to help a kid because we are all kids at heart. At least 2-3 years ago there was no free wi-fi or computer access on the property. You have to pay and will pay dearly. My brother in law runs his fathers construction company and had to do some work while on vacation and had a had time with accessing the internet and again the cost was crazy. You can get cell phone coverage so if you and family have those fancy cell phones with internet etc they you'll be okay (we live in the mountains and have no service around our house so we go with Trac fone). The beach at the campground just means sand. There is no access into the water except a drop off and no swimming in the water. Although not disgusting the water/lakes are polluted from the gas and oils from the boats so no swimming allowed although they do allow fishing (funny?) The pool at the campground is very nice but don't let the kids run. On our last FW trip a kid ran and slipped and cracked open his head. Also may I suggest that since this is a big trip for you all that you may want to consider getting some tee shirts made up local before you go with maybe some Disney Theme announce why this is a big family trip. Sometimes Disney People will see this and treat you a little different. We have seen family with special fass pass cards that they didn't have to go at certain times, some have been grand marshalls in the parade, some get pulled up on stages to act out scenes, etc.

Awning is a mess!!!
Ours was pretty bad so at the beginning of this year I stood on a step ladder for approx 2 hours off and on and unrolled the awning little by little and held my hand underneath as I used a scrub brush to scrub the top then reversed to the bottom. It took a while but applying the pressure with my hand to create a hard surface help with the scrub brush bearing down to get a nice deep clean with just soap and water. Looked close to new being that it is white and light gray.

Wipes in the Black Tank????
It may sound nasty but we wipe the younger ones with toilet paper first that flush then use a moist wipe at the very end and throw them in the trash. They have a baby powderish smell to them already which mask any extra smells. If it starts to smell which we have never had an issue we would simply throw the bag out and put in a new one. We use Wal*Mart bags as trash liners so they are free.

F150 Problem in Loudonville OH
No it wasn't their fault. It was the idea that they were stiffed from others who charged or wrote them checks then had the charge or check cancelled. Keatonb16 don't forget about those who charge or write checks for money they don't have and then those of us who pay more or higher interest because of those people. I don't blame them at all for an all cash policy.

F150 Problem in Loudonville OH
Towed up hill upon hill from Western MD to Loudonville OH (5 hours)without any issue. I took it easy going up the mountains and my phrase of the trip to the wife was "Look another mountain". We met with our friends at Mohican State Park (they live 1 1/2 hours away. I let the truck sit for a couple of days until we were to go to Amish Country. When I went to start the engine the check engine light came on and the RPMs kept going up and down and it shut off twice. Now for any of you who know this area there is no cell phone coverage for 99% of the people in a 15-20 mile radius. I told my friend we had to get someone where we could get it looked at fast because I didn't want to be stranded with the family. After talking to some locals we found a Ford Dealership in Loudonville (very small operation with only 8 or so employees) I thought dealership = big bucks but thought they'd be the best place to put on a computer and fix it right. The only problem was they had a sign that if you are from out of town you had to pay in cash. Again, thinking the worst I thought no way on a Friday I could get a money transfer from one of my banks to another. They explained all the problems they have had with people cancelling cards or checks when they have worked on their cars but not to worry. Also my friend from OH could have lent me the money until we got home. Anyway the computer found that a tube that mixes things (I'm not a vehicle person) but with the PVC had a hole and was closing off air to help mix whatever. Anyway the computer check, parts, labor and finding of a recall (free fix) came to only $98. When do you walk out of dealership with only paying that for a repair. But best of all their compassion and great hospitality made it a great experience. So if you are ever in Loudonville OH and break down don't think twice about calling the Ford Dealership for help. God Bless them. And I don't want to hear any Ford jokes either. HA HA!!

Retracting a Stranger's Mechanical Awning in a Storm?
I was sitting in my camper this last time out when a big rain storm came. The two campers behind us were family friends and very nice to us also. Anyway sitting in the camper I looked out and he and his friends EZ UPs Tents were up and I said to my wife. I wonder if that is one of those new EZ UPs that the water drains off well. As I turned and was getting up from the seat to go out and checked the thing collapse. I felt so bad because if I would have checked a minute earlier it may have been saved but when I went out the friend was coming out also. I then went over to check his awning and it was tilted well. Then this same poor guy and family was gone during another storm which they had his things put away (Toy Hauler) anyway a huge lightening strike came and I thing it was only a couple hundred yards away. Later found out it fried his tv, dvd and elec hot water tank. This poor guy had gone back to his house to meet with an A/C guy because the week before the lightening took out his house A/C. He was so calm about what had happened even when I joked about making sure we didn't camp anywhere near him again.

Think your safe in your R/V during a thunderstorm?
All I can think about is the "Great Outdoors" movie when the guys were at a bar and the guy showed up with skunk hair stating he was struck by lightening "66 times in the head".

What about those reflective plastic/metal stick markers. You could line one side (usually drivers side) of the driveway which should pick up any light. You could put those in the ground before you leave and take them out after you park. Also if not traffic, pull straight in and back out the next day.

Quality Control
I feel your pain in part to having something what I thought major happen to our RV. I thought the front A frame section of our RV was bent and wanted to vomit about how and how much it was going to cost to get fixed. I had extra insurance and the money to fix it but asked around and found out there was no way the frame should have bent in this manner. I called KZ and after a month or two of back and forth emails and inspections by local dealers and welding companies we found that the front cross member turned which was the frame builders fault. Anyway even with the great KZ 2 year warranty being passed KZ in good faith had me take it to a certified welder who did a great job and I didn't pay a thing. Yes the gas to take it out about 4 times and the feeling of loss (Thank the Lord it was paid off) of not being able to use it was heart wrenching for us I have to say thank you to KZ. Keep looking into the matter and don't give up.

In this example you will see how to move image smoothly on mouse motion using Java.
To move an image, we have used the Listener interface that provides the mouse motion events in Java. So in this example you will learn where the MouseMotionListener interface is called to move an image on mouse motion. In this example we have used the JFrame class of javax.swing.* package that allows to create frame.
The methods mouseMoved() and mouseDragged() of Listener interface are defined in the code. The method mouseDragged() is invoked when a mouse button is pressed on the image. Then the image will dragged. The method mouseMoved() is invoked when the mouse cursor has been moved on to a image without pushing the image. The method checkImage() will create the Off-screen image if it has not been created. This method should always be called before using the off-screen image. To draw into the offscreen image, paintOffscreen(image.getGraphics()) is called. The g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null) put the offscreen image on the screen.
Here is the code of SmoothMoveExample.java
import java.awt.*; |

This Sunday, Mountain View will hold several events honoring the 1983 opening of one of its most significant undertakings: over 500 acres of lake, rolling hills, trails and golf links known as Shoreline Park.

Congrats Shoreline! Curious... do Mountain View residents still have the opportunity to purchase early tickets to shows (prior to being sold to the general public)?
In the last year or two, disclosure of this benefit has curiously been erased. Anybody know the answer to this one?
Posted by eric, a resident of another community, on Sep 25, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Wow- twenty five years of a "special" taxation district meaning virtually unlimited funds for new golf carts and median strip landscaping and NO BENEFIT to our schools derived from all the businesses out in Shoreline (with all due respect to the many very good corporate citizens out in Shoreline-- this problem is not their fault nor their creation)! When will we have a council with the courage to take this problem on?
Posted by Samrt Growther, a resident of the Old Mountain View neighborhood, on Sep 25, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Already solved Eric. The city diverts funds to the school district. You must have missed one of Don Letchers rants on this topic.
Posted by eric, a resident of another community, on Sep 25, 2008 at 9:52 pm
The city diverts a little cash to the school district. A pittance compared to what it would see if Shoreline were not a special tax district.
Posted by smart growther, a resident of the Old Mountain View neighborhood, on Sep 27, 2008 at 8:15 pm
The city manager negotiated with the school districts so that they would get their fair share based on it not being a special tax district.

As I recall from the news articles of the time, the San Francisco garbage operation was losing $100K/wk for the City of Mountain View. The park may have more birds now than before but look at the diversity...coots and Canada geese? When we did our wildlife surveys back in the days before the marsh was destroyed, we found no coots, no Canada geese. What was there were several species of nesting ducks (blue-winged teals, cinnamon teals, mallards, golden-eyes, buffle heads), white-crowned night herons, great blue herons, snowy egrets, red tailed hawks, meadow larks, nesting tri-winged and redwinged blackbirds, and the list goes on. What was lost forever were whole ecosystems of biodiversity to be replaced by golfers, coots, and Canada geese. Destroyed in the process, too, was Charleston Slough which was modified in order to store water to pump into Shoreline's lake. Sorry, I can't get excited about Shoreline Park and the millions it cost to construct it.
Posted by Shoreline Fan, a resident of the North Whisman neighborhood, on Sep 30, 2008 at 2:56 pm
To answer Mt. View Resident, yes I believe that Mountain View residents and city employees may still purchase tickets to most Shoreline Amphitheatre shows 1 day before they go on sale to the general public.
There are exceptions, such as the Bridge School Benefit, which does not have any advance ticket sales.
You can call the hotline recording at (650) 903-6605 during the concert season to find out if a show will have an early sale. Shoreline usually requires a current utility bill and drivers license to show proof of residency.

Gun To Head
So, two weeks after I had turned twenty, I opened my friend's bedroom door to find that he had slit his wrists. He died there, with me, waiting for the forever impending chorus of ambulance sirens that didn't come even close to soon enough. I'm not sure if I ever did state this, on here. Regardless.
This is not a call for sympathy, this is a call-to-arms.
You had better seek prosperity first and foremost in the weapons you arm yourself with. You had better grit your teeth and revel in your aching jaw. And you had better not let anyone tell you that you have brought whatever bitter misery, that you are forced to own and wear, upon yourself.
You had better not feel guilty or stare at peach coloured palms and imagine them red, and assume you are caught.
That being said.
Some days I wish he had stepped out in front of somebody else's bus. Had been smeared across their windows, across their pre-dream thoughts.
I wish he had found inspiration from deep-sea-divers, filled his pockets not with rocks but with mercury instead. Poisoned all the water and everybody else with him.
I wish he had hung himself with a noose of somebody else's notes and photographs.
And I wish, this weakest part of me, holes throughout, that I had been there earlier, that I had not thought to complete one of the mundane things I had felt so necessary to embark on that day.
And I still have wary, frightened dreams where you come home and you do all the things that normal happy people do.

Review: T-Mobile myTouch 4G
Such great specs wasted too. Second generation 1GHz processor, Front facing camera, Sony Super LCD, HSPA+. The target audience of the MyTouch series doesn't give a crap. The MyTouch line was designed to be midrange and these are high end specs.
If T-Mo were smart enough they should have put all of these features onto the G2. Then they would have created the perfect phone giving the Epic a run for it's money. But nope as usual T-Mo misses the the mark.
I'll stick with the Vibrant for now. Speeds are fast enough, screen is beautiful and battery life is outstanding. The G2 with AMOLED and rest of the myTouch 4g features woudl have been my dream phone though
