VIDEO: Protestors Slam Proposed Southwest LRT Route
St. Louis Park residents worry a freight rail reroute will make their neighborhoods more dangerous, hurt schools and lower property values.
Drivers passing St. Louis Park City Hall on Wednesday night couldn't miss the orange shirts and big-lettered signs of protestors upset about the proposed route of the Southwest Light Rail Transit line.
Critics showed up in force prior to a public hearing on the project's draft environmental impact statement to protest the proposed relocation of the Twin Cities & Western freight line, which currently operates on a planned segment of the Southwest LRT. Nearby residents say the additional, heavier freight traffic on the tracks would lower property values, disrupt nearby St. Louis Park High School and be more dangerous.
"You say there are five communities along the line," Mminnetonka Boulevard homeowner Brian Zachek said at a public hearing that filled the council chambers. "Only one of them has to worry about sending their kids and grandkids to high school and if it would put them in danger of being killed or maimed.
Homeowners like Zachek think the freight rail should be located in Minneapolis' Kenilworth Corridor, where the light rail is slated to run—an option called co-location. They say that option would be cheaper and safer.
Enough people signed up to testify at the public hearing that it filled four sheets of paper. Tom Johnson, president of Railroad & Metallurgical Engineering Inc. in St. Louis Park, was one of those. His job involves accident reconstruction, and he said the freight rail reroute is a bad idea.
"Believe me, I don't want any business in St. Louis Park," Johnson said. "My professional opinion is: Keep it in Kenilworth, keep it slow, keep it safe."
Hennepin County Commissioner Gail Dorfman was a particular target of the protestors' ire. Many felt the former St. Louis Park mayor and councilwoman had betrayed residents—several citing a quote from a Tuesday Star Tribune article in which she said, "I think this is a win-win for St. Louis Park in all respects, as long as we adequately mitigate for the freight rail."
"It's really hard to believe that with the decreased safety and all the safety issues that this could possibly be a win for St. Louis Park," said protestor Karen Hroma, holding up a sign that read "Have you been Dorfed?"
Frustration with the proposed Southwest LRT route did not necessarily mean opposition to the project itself, though. Many said they would support light rail as long as it didn't push extra freight rail into their neighborhoods.
"I strongly support light rail. I love the idea of light rail. I have no problem with that. What I have a problem with is the freight rail relocation," Zachek said.

Your headline is absolutely misleading and inaccurate - NO ONE is opposed to LRT - what is "opposed" is the unnecessary, unsafe, railroad company opposed, EXPENSIVE by $ 125 + million dollars re-route of freight traffic. Freight traffic can stay right where it is - saving of millions of dollars, less disruption and devaluation of communities, far less safety issues and with approval by the railroad companies that have to operate on it. please change the headline - NO ONE is opposed to LRT.

I was at the meeting last night and you need to get your facts straight. There was no opposition to the SW Light Rail Transit, but to the freight reroute. The reroute cost of $123 million dollars + undetermined mitigation costs to be bourn by us the taxpayers is ludicrous since there is a safer option available; the Kenilworth Corridor.
The rub comes in with our mayor who was present at the meeting but did not speak but rather chooses to express his defeatist & obtuse opinions from a distance in the Star Tribune. He was also not available to anyone after the meeting, as he disappeared. What kind of leader is he? I was always taught leaders lead from the front not hiding in the shadows.
Also present was Hennepin County Commissioner Gail Dorfman who should relinquish her position in any matters related to the SWRT and reroute considerations, due to her self admitted bias via promises made to the Kenworth neighborhood when she was mayor of St. Louis Park.

Look at the headline: "VIDEO: Protestors Slam Proposed Southwest LRT Route" I said specifically that you expressed opposition to the route, not LRT on its own. That was clarified further below the headline and made even more explicit in the final quote of the story.
l wik

There is NO OPPOSITION TO THE LRT ROUTE. The route is fine and will operate just fine "co-located" with existing freight traffic. There is no need to move freight traffic.
James Warden
6:22 pm on Thursday, November 15, 2012
I wik, I think this is something we're just going to have to agree to disagree on. For the purposes of a headline and a lead sentence, I consider the freight rail re-route and co-location issues as part of the larger Southwest LRT routing process.
And as I explained to someone who called me earlier today, this article is running on Patch sites in four different communities. "Freight rail" and "co-location" don't have the immediate resonance in Eden Prairie, Hopkins and Minnetonka as they do in St. Louis Park. I can't put those phrases in a headline and assume readers will automatically know what I'm talking about in those communities. In fact, I even felt the need to specify the definition by writing "an option called co-location" in the story.
Nonetheless, I think the arguments of your group were clearly stated in the story. No one reading this article—or even just the sentence below the headline—could miss that this is specifically about the freight rail issue, not Southwest LRT in general. Again, I put a quote at the end of the story to emphasize that point—in addition to running an entire video that focuses on that exclusively through the words of those who agree with you.

James do you even know of what you are writing about. There are 2 issues the S
W Light Rail and the reroute of the freight. None of us is opposed to the SW Light Rail. Look at your first paragraph " Drivers passing St. Louis Park City Hall on Wednesday night couldn't miss the orange shirts and big-lettered signs of protestors upset about the proposed route of the Southwest Light Rail Transit line." this is inaccurate & untrue.
I beleive that the logical & financially viable solution is to have the SWLRT "co-located" with the existing freight traffic in the Kenilworth Corridor.

Bert Schmitt, I think the article makes the same points you're making. But Patch isn't my site. It's a community site. If you want to write a letter to the editor clarifying your position, I'd be happy to run it. In fact, we'd be happy to have you or anyone else as a blogger who'd like to comment on local happenings more regularly. Just shoot me an e-mail at email@example.com. Also, I'd be happy to grab a cup of coffee with anyone who wants to talk in person. Feel free to contact me if you or your neighbors would like to do that.
4:26 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
I think a more accurate headline would have been something like, "Protestors slam proposed freight rail reroute that planners say is required for SW LRT."
Most who oppose the freight re-route are supporters of SW LRT. They just assert that co-location is viable, cheaper, and safer for the SLP community. Some who read the headline will falsely remember and think that SLP residents oppose SW LRT.

I think the article clearly states complete opposition of the " re-routed freight line". I actually think the article is 100% pro for the opposition of the re-route. James, what I didn't read is statements from Dorfman or the current mayor of the Park. The headline did get me to click on the article though, in which I believe is the opposition's goal, which is to make everyone in all communities affected by LRT to understand why the Park's re-route is bad. Good Job James!

IKEA Bike
December 13, 2010, 9:16 am / Categories: Biking
We know, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. But if that proverbial stallion is a business executive chomping on inexpensive Swedish meatballs, well, perhaps take some heed. The news this past week that Scandinavian retail giant IKEA had given "all-terrain bicycles" to its workforce — all of its 12,400 employees in the U.S.! — to celebrate a profitable year was revered in major media as a generous act of Holiday giving and a nod to the support of clean transportation. Sounds good on paper — a cavalry of employees riding to work. But shield your eyes, dear gear junkies, for the gift bikes appear to be about as cheap and ugly as two-wheelers come.
To be sure, the company's motives are in the right place. "We hope this bike will be taken in the spirit of the season while supporting a healthy lifestyle and everyday sustainable transport," said the U.S. president of IKEA. A company press release continued: ". . .when it comes to sustainable transport, a bicycle is a great option."
For sure, all that is true. But on this hunk o' junk? If a bike doesn't fit and performs poorly, is it a bike worth riding? That's a question for IKEA employees to answer, many of whom are undoubtedly thrilled to get the gift. Maybe a few months on this beast will convince new riders to upgrade to a better bike.
Final note: In keeping with the company's ethos, some assembly is required. The bike comes in a flat pack. No word on the requirement of an IKEA key wrench.
—Stephen Krcmar
Stephen, "…a calvary of employees riding to work." Maybe you meant cavalry, or do you think this is how Ikea is trying to keep the Christ in Christmas? In any case, given the choice, I'd take the bike over crucifixion, but just looking at it does cause intense suffering.
Wow. Such negativity about a really cool gift. I work for IKEA and the bike is built and sitting in my garage right now. No, it's not a great bike and you could probably go to Wal-Mart and find one just like it or better. However, this is a retail chain and you guys may not be aware, but people in retail don't make much money. Most of the stuff that you post on this blog is fun to read about, but I would NEVER be able to afford any of it. So the $2,000 carbon fiber bike that you have is definitely better than the IKEA gift bike, but unfortunately most people can't fork out that kind of cash for bicycle. The IKEA gift bike was free, and I'm sure that quite a few of my fellow coworkers will have a good time with it.
My comment wasn't intended to be negative per se, I am truly puzzled by the bike's frame geometry. Why is the rear triangle and seat post set up that way? I've only seen such a design for rear suspension before – without a suspension it seems to me it only weakens the frame. Is it just for style?
An argument could certainly be made that any bike is a good bike, but frankly, crappy bikes are the gift that keep on taking. There may be a select few for whom it will be a useful gift, but the likelier result is that many of them will take up permanent residence in the garage.
Perhaps a better program may have been one that gave away a smaller number of good bikes to people who demonstrated some desire to have one. Participation in an essay contest, some kind of community service program, anything that might have given the recipients a sense of accomplishment would more likely have kept the gift horse from being led directly to Craigslist.
I worked for Ikea for a while. When I was there our holiday presents were home furnishing books (ugh). One year every employee at Ikea in England got folding bikes. That was pretty cool. While these bikes are uber-cheapies, if you don't have a bike at all it's better than nothing. Plenty of people buy similar bikes at Wal-Mart every year. Give them points for having their hearts in the right place.
In this economic climate, how fantastic that they got anything as a bonus. It is a free set of two wheels that, even if not enjoyed by the receiver, will be enjoyed through years of re-gifting. I agree that their hearts are in the right place, that it is not the best bike in the world, and that the geometry is off. But, let us not forget that any gift is a welcome gift when the intent is clear.
This article really overdoes the negativity. Sure it's cheap and ugly, but what did other people in retail get for Christmas? What was Gear Junkie giving out to its tiny team of bloggers besides free test samples derived (for free) from manufacturers? I'll bet it wasn't a $2,000 bike.
A bike (for 12,400 people, nonetheless) is a pretty solid holiday gift, no matter how cheap. Give it to your kid, use it as a secondary knock-around bike for around-town errands, or sell it to someone that needs a cheap bike. It's a nice display of appreciation.
And it's not like IKEA's a high-end bike company giving a $#** bike to employees—they make cheap, build-it-yourself furniture; this bike fits right in.
I've worked on department store bikes, and they are frequently NOT better than nothing.
Also, there's no need to spend $2000 on a bike to get something decent, but there is a world of difference between a $79, one-size-fits-few department store bike like the one Ikea gave away and a $250 entry-level bike shop bike. The latter, with even a little maintenance, will provide a decent ride for a decade or more; the former is a disposable toy that rides like a mattress.
If my employer were giving away bikes, I know which I'd rather have.
I would just like to say that after reading your highly negative comments, I am even more proud to work for such a great company, IKEA does give every co-worker an end of year present, some of which are more useful and beneficial to some than others but ask yourself this, apart from a cheaply funded christmas party where you might try and flirt with the secretary and throw up on your photocopier, or innapropriate secret santa's, what does your company really do for you. Ask yourself that! IKEA in my view is a great company to work for and I fully agree with the comment before about the total cost of bikes for a large amount of co-workers. I greatly value every intention IKEA has to make it's co-workers feel valued and appreciated even in this tough time, year after year without fail!

Umm. The 'git-xyzzy' thing has been one of the #1 complaints since pretty much day#1. The number of people complaining about it going away has literally been _much_ smaller than the people who complained about it being there. Also, like it or not, it's done. So the argument about "compatibility" is TOTAL AND UTTER BULLSHIT. There is no compatibility, because we already released a major version without them. So live with it, and just add the PATH="$PATH:$(git --exec-path)" as a "compatibility layer" to your own setup already. There is no downside, and I think there _is_ a big upside, and no, it's not just about "/usr/bin" being smaller. In case you wonder, the upside is: - new people don't even learn the mistakes - the people who _did_ complain are happier - this model allows a per-user-preference model even on the same machine (ie even on something like master.kernel.org, everybody can choose _individually_ whether they want to see 'git-xyzzy' or not!) and there really is zero downside apart from the _trivial_ downside of you just having to add a single PATH thing to your .bashrc or something.

Bulls-Heat Preview
Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat
- Last season, the Bulls and Heat were the number one and two seeds in respectively in the East. If this season ended today, Miami would be the top seed while Chicago checks in at number five in the conference.
- Including postseason, the Heat have won four home games in a row against the Bulls. Including the playoffs, Chicago has not scored 100 points or more at Miami since March 9, 2009 (eight games).
- LeBron James has shot 45 percent or better from the field in eight consecutive games. Dwyane Wade had a run of 11 straight with that percentage end on Wednesday against the Mavericks. James has had two other streaks of 10 straight this season.
- Miami has played in consecutive overtime games for the first time this season and won consecutive overtime games for the first time since January 7, 2011 at Milwaukee and January 9, 2011 at Portland.
- LeBron James (32), Dwyane Wade (27) and Chris Bosh (17) combined to score 76 points vs. Dallas on January 2, marking the 59th time they have combined for at least 70 points in a single game.
- In Chicago's win at Orlando on Wednesday, three Bulls players posted 20 or more points (Carlos Boozer: 31 points, Luol Deng: 23 points and Taj Gibson: 21 points) for the second time in a game this season (Boozer/Deng/Joakim Noah did it at Phoenix on November 14). Boozer's 31 points and Gibson's 21 points both marked season highs.
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
(AP) -- Nothing has come easy lately for the Miami Heat, and matchups with the Chicago Bulls have been very tough regardless of whether Derrick Rose plays.
This one could be particularly difficult if LeBron James isn't at full strength.
A matchup of the last two league MVPs won't happen because Rose remains sidelined, and there's a chance James won't take the court as the Heat and Bulls renew their rivalry Friday night in Miami.
Chicago edged the Heat for the best record in the Eastern Conference last season, but Rose's torn ACL in the playoffs led to the Bulls' first-round departure while James went on to capture his first NBA title.
Now both stars could miss the teams' first meeting of the season, with multiple reports indicating James sat out Thursday's practice with a bruised right knee but hopes to play Friday.
While James has played in every game this season, the Heat are 2-5 without him since the reigning MVP joined the team in 2010-11. Two of those losses came against the Bulls, who have won five of the last seven regular-season meetings. Five of those games were decided by four points or less and another went to overtime.
Despite Rose missing two games due to injuries and finishing with two points on 1-of-13 shooting in another, the Bulls earned a split of the four games against Miami last season.
Chicago (17-13) might be catching the Heat at the right time Friday. Miami (22-8) has struggled a bit since winning six straight games by an average of 15.2 points from Dec. 15-26.
The Heat lost at Detroit and Milwaukee on consecutive nights by a combined 29 points before needing overtime to beat sub-.500 teams Orlando and Dallas this week.
After escaping Orlando with a 112-110 victory Monday, Miami came from six points down in the final 3:02 of regulation to force overtime against Dallas on Wednesday en route to a 119-109 win. James averaged 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists in those two games.
The Heat narrowly improved to a conference-best 15-2 at home Wednesday.
"We're not that dominant where we can come in and blow every team out," said Dwyane Wade, who had 27 points and 10 rebounds.
While James averaged 31.8 points versus the Bulls last season, Wade has had a tough time lately when they come to Miami. Since scoring 48 points against Chicago on March 9, 2009, Wade has averaged 18.7 while shooting 37.8 percent from the field - 1 of 9 from 3-point range - in seven home games in the series including playoffs.
The Heat, the East's highest-scoring team at 103.6 per game, are 19-1 with 10 straight victories when scoring more than 100. They're 3-7 when scoring 100 or less.
That could be a key against a Chicago team that has allowed an average of 87.3 points in three games since giving up a season-high 120 in a loss to Houston on Christmas Day.
The Bulls had lost three of four entering their two-game trip to Florida, which began with a 96-94 victory over short-handed Orlando on Wednesday night.
"It was better, but it's not what it needs to be," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We had good offensive energy, and not the necessary defensive energy."
Carlos Boozer has played better lately, finishing with a season-high 31 points and 11 rebounds against the Magic. While Boozer has averaged 21.7 points and 12.3 boards in his last three games, he's scored more than 10 only once in his last five versus the Heat.
The Bulls are expected to have center Joakim Noah back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's contest because of flu-like symptoms.

New idea for the cheap and lazy
Get an 03 FFL. $30, very easy and a good excuse to buy a Russian workhorse of a gun for under $100. Getting the numbers up for any sort of gov't measure of firearms owners will help out the cause more than a paltry donation to the NRAILA, or a letter to a politician, and you get some tangible benefits.
Already have one? Fund a friends application and ask them to pay it forward.
$0 of an NRA membership goes to legislative action or court battles. Not a dime. Only money contributed to the NRA-ILA or NRA-PVF. Of course, you could just donate to the Second Amendment Foundation I was feeling pretty good, then I looked around and realized I am not swimming or on fire. |

Car Hire Locations in France
The search for your low-cost France car hire ends with ArgusRentals.com. Argus Rentals does the work for you, searching and comparing car hire agents in France until we find the cheapest rates for your car rental. Booking a car rental in France with Argus Rentals is made easy so that you can drive off in the wheels you need and at the price you want to pay.
Pick up locations in France cover all corners of the massive country from major airports, trains stations, big cities to even islands. You can always find a car hire location in France. When visiting France, we suggest renting a smaller vehicle like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Golf for the convenience and price. Our fleet also includes larger vehicles such as seven and eight seaters in case you are travelling to France with a larger group. You can also find a wealth of optional extras for your car hire in France from sat nav, luxury vehicles, automatics or TDI versions of our most popular rentals.
Five Fabulous Reasons To Visit France
- Everyone is Here: France usually finds itself on the top of the list in terms of most visited countries. The country receives around 80 million visitors a year and with good reason.
- Café Culture: The French café scene is an attraction on its own, acting as one of the basic necessities to life in France.
- A Daily Feast: Eating and drinking are art forms in France, where you can drink champagne in ancient cellars, find a crepe filled with goodness or feast on the latest plat du jour at a casual bistro.
- Artistic Landscapes: France could be its own massive canvas, where the landscape is a diverse journey through sand dunes and cliffs, bright blue seas, oak forests and glacial panoramas.
- The Icons: The Eiffel Tower, the sun soaked beaches of Cannes, the sidewalk café, the Louvre, Versailles, Mont-St-Michel, France is a country littered in iconic imagery that is known the world over.
Handy Guide to France
The café chairs in France face toward the streets, a simple reflection of what this country is all about. People-watching is a valid way to spend the day and a stroll would never be hurried. France is not just a giant country with constant strikes and rude waiters. While the rude waiter is sometimes present, France is still a fabled land, where the food often tastes unbelievable, where Coco Chanel drew inspiration and where world-class art and architecture, Roman temples and the lily speckled gardens Monet painted actually exist. France is a canvas painted by the grandest of masters and appreciated by virtually anyone who visits.
A trip to France often begins in Paris and rightfully so. The capital city not just of France but also of fashion, art and people watching tends to wear out superlatives. Its grandeur and magic have been immortalized in film, written word and simple conversation. Visitors should get lost on the city's back streets and avenues or comb through the treasures of museums like the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou. Home to the gargoyles and hunchbacks of Notre Dame and the sparkling Eiffel Tower, Paris bursts with iconic landmarks that it almost needs to pop the top button on its jeans. This city is full of magical wonders.
And yet the country doesn't end with Paris. While a Parisian might argue, the big city of Lyon competes with the capital for tastiest dishes. Down in Marseille, its life as a port has presented a sumptuous confluence of cultures. Over in Aix-en-Provence, the sun soaked squares and cafes could occupy weeks of idle wandering. The glitterati hang on the French Riviera, especially in St. Tropez just as Brigitte Bardot did.
The French landscape provides its own reason to visit. Northern France is covered in cliffs and sand dunes, while down south, the glistening seas of the French Riviera draw sun worshippers. From swimsuit to ski suit, the varied landscape of France brings opportunities to bask in the Alps through glacial vistas like in Chamonix. A road trip through the Loire Valley doesn't just cloud châteaux but the rich fields and forests that contain them. And while you take in a whiff of lavender in Provence, the scene of the country's beautiful landscape leaves an impression that last a lifetime. A nose always knows.
France impresses in what it can make positively mouth-watering. Frog legs and snails induce salivation even from the most sceptical of eaters. Crisp baguettes and bursting crepes sweeten the deal. Food and wine are just another art form that France has mastered. Across bistros and cafes, the French believe eating well is an essence of survival. Travellers can get lost in bottles in Burgundy and Bordeaux, home to the grapes that made the regions famous for wine. And a fine celebratory beverage is never far away in France. You can pop the bubbly in ancient cellars throughout the prestigiou

Sidewalk Snow-Clearing Requirement Proposed for Waltham
The issue will be discussed at the March 4 City Council meeting.
In the wake of the recent blizzard, City Councillor Gary Marchese has proposed an ordinance that would require residents to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks.
"It is, I think, an important issue that all the councillors should debate and determine whether we need an ordinance," Marchese said during the Monday, Feb. 25, City Council meeting.
The Committee of the Whole will discuss the idea at its Monday, March 4, meeting at City Hall. The meeting starts at 8 p.m.
Currently, the city requires property owners on Main Street to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of the last snowfall. That regulation applies to both sides of the street from Prospect Hill Road to Linden Street.
Marchese's idea emerged after Waltham Patch readers and residents noted the city did a poor job of clearing the sidewalks. Marchese said an inquiry from a resident prompted him to propose the ordinance.
Marchese pointed to several factors as reasons for his proposal. He said the city mainly clears sidewalks around public schools so students can safely travel to school, but does not clear walkways in neighborhoods without schools.
Marchese also pointed to possible models for any future ordinance, including Newton. Newton is currently running a two-year test program for a similar ordinance.

When we get sidewalks it might be a good idea. Highland Resident.
7:36 am on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Patch readers noted that the CITY did a poor job of clearing the snow NOT the residents. There are many Waltham residents who do not own a snow blower, which is what was needed for the past two snowfalls. Will residents have to purchase snowblowers to be on the ready for such snowfalls?
Further, there are many residents who are seniors and many with disabilities who can not shovel snow. Is the city ready for the liability from such an ordinance? For example, if someone is sent to the hospital or worse dies from shoveling, the city could be facing lawsuits.
I believe that Waltham residents pay enough in taxes and should have the streets and sidewalks cleared by the city. Let's not pass along the responsibility to residents young and old, healthy and ill, to do what the city should be doing.

Hear, hear, Jo! I completely agree. Now this is the residents fault that the City did such a lousy job? I have parents in their late 70's, early 80's one being house bound. After being a resident of 50+ years, they should be penalized? Where did the taxes go? Oh yea, someone else's pocket.
2:47 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
I agree..passing sidewalk plowing on to residents is a bad idea. It is not a workable solution. We can't ask elderly or our disabled neighbors to clear their sidewalks. My own sidewalks get plowed in with snowbanks 5 feet high or more. Each time the plow comes back around, they fill it back in. There is no way for me to keep this area clear! Let's use common sense.
9:19 am on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Thank goodness! I still have to walk to and from the bus in the middle of the street every day because of the houses on Ash Street that have left parts of the sidewalk completely impassible. Yesterday I tried to stay on the sidewalk and fell climbing over a mound of icy snow blocking my path. I was wondering whether I sue the homeowner or the city for this.
Ann Marie Marcolina
10:55 am on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
this isnt a good idea. Several reasons:Its city property, not ours- does your home owners policy cover that? If a property owners does shovel and in our suit happy society, someone falls, home owner gets sued. What happens to property owners who can not shovel? Do they have the resources to hire INSURED snow shovelers with General Liabilty and Workers Comp and will those policys cover authroization of shoveling property the home owner does not own? Or do they use a 12 year old in the neighborhood and drag him or her into the suit mess? You are opening a huge can of worms for the residents here. There are side walk plows, City owned and sub contractor owned. This is Snow, from City streets, that City plows onto the sidewalk. It is forbidden for anyone to put THEIR snow onto city property- you are fined.The city should remove that as well. Its bad enough we have to continually dig out our walks and driveways over and over from the plowing- can you image the cost to the home owner to continually shovel the sidewalk?! Great concept, but a costly idea.

I wouldn't have a problem shoveling the sidewalk in front of my house, but if I am forced to do this, then the City should be forced to have the municipal lots cleared after a snowstorm. After every snow fall, the lot at the corner of Main and Church Streets is a disaster due to people parking there during a snowstorm.
1:40 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
It's just common sense to clear a sidewalk in front of your house, and a homeowner should want to do it, especially on the main roads. If you don't like walking in the street, then neither does the person who's in the street in front of your house. Consider it a civic duty, a small price to pay for being part of a society. An ordinance isn't needed to force the issue as long as people can learn to be responsible. The city should worry more about the sub-par job it did clearing the streets after the blizzard. We should demand better for what we pay for.
2:09 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
We generally do clear part of our sidewalk. However, once the plows came by and pushed in what we had already done, it was impossible to do again without some kind of heavy equipment. We live accross from the end of another street and they plow everything that is leftover from that street into one section of our sidewalk and hedges. There is usually a giant solid block of ice and snow on part of our sidewalk by the time the storm is over. How are we supposed to deal with that? We physically cannot remove it!
Matt Carter
3:06 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
None of this has to happen. Our mayor needs to actually for the first time in 7 years fund a new Sidewalk plow for the street dept. The newest one is I believe 2006. The city used to run 6 of them and now they only have 4. 2 were scrapped. And 2 of the current one are having issues.
Stop buying used trucks and rentals. There is plenty of money you just don't want to spend it.
To the comment above NO city hired contractor plows sidewalks. The mayor decided to scrap that idea years ago. If the city had the right equipment and the contractors had a few bobcats also this city would be better.
It took the city nearly 2 weeks to clear all the sidewalks because when they needed to be cleared by the right equipment (Trackless MV w/ snow Blower) only one actually worked during the Blizzard. It was way too much snow for the bobcats. I AM SICK OF THIS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
4:03 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
People need to take some responsibility. It's impossible to walk around my Banks Square neighborhood, and people have had plenty of time (and warm weather) to clear the sidewalk in front of their property. And if it's a rental, the property owner should be responsible for this!
Have you seen the trash strewn across the uncleared sidewalks on upper Fiske and Francis Street? You shouldn't need an ordinance to want to take care of your neighborhood. The city FAILED, and so did the residents.
4:38 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
How many people does the state have incarcerated? How many of them are not violent and can work under supervision? How many times have you seen people in orange jumpsuits picking up trash on the highway medians and sides? Can't some of these people be deployed to help cities in times such as this? After all, we are paying to feed and house them.

Interesting idea. Im sure prisoner rights groups would have a fit about it though.
5:04 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
No, this should not take effect. I am 70 and can barely shovel my steps. I simply stop my mail so noone has to walk to my house. I can't afford to hire someone either. The plows always pile the snow on my side of the street and the sidewalk would need a blower to move it. I oppose this idea. Do the streets and the walkways downtown; leave the other decision to the taxpayers.
6:20 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Except, CP, that I still have to walk in the middle of the street twice a day (one of them in the dark) because I can't get down your sidewalk. If I get hit by a car, will you pay my medical bills? Where I come from, keeping the sidewalk clear after a storm was always the homeowner's responsibility.

Kathleen hate to be the bearer of bad news here but I've seen your exaggerated story at least 3 times now and can't bit my tongue again.... Next time you are dodging cars in the street or climbing snow mountains, count how many people walk past you, then count how many cars drive past you. Compare the numbers. I don't care that you have to be aware of your surrounding and walk slowly, but as a driver I'm aware of pedestrians using the street. I suggest you buy some YakTrax for your boots great for traction and a high visibility jacket.

Everyones pointing the finger at someone else. In every single article about the storm and every single comment written in those articles, not one person mentioned the 500 landscapers that work in this City. They dont even come out until the plow trucks are gone and dont hesitate to make a street that was completely clean into one that looks as if it wasnt touched. Pond St. has a bunch of apt. buildings with huge lots, the landscaper pushes the snow across the street onto the sidewalk behind the church and old age home. During the storm they did it so much they turned Pond St into one lane. The only thing that happens is they get a nasty letter. Thats just one place. Church St at the corner of School is a doctors office and a bunch of condos. They do the same thing. The City cant write tickets, and theres no law on the books for the Police to write one. That sidewalk snowblower was working around the clock with the one guy that can run it until he finally dropped and didnt get out of his bed for 2 days. Only to show up for work to find out that everything he did was plowed out all over again. At the end of every driveway in the City on both sides was a mountain of snow. Lake St. alone was done 5 separate times. Why should he have to keep going back and doing the work all over again. When the sidewalks are clear, maybe it should be up to the residents to keep it that way. Nothing else seems to be working. At least not to everyone's standards.
David C
8:33 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
People dont seem to realize that theres all of 22 guys on the street dept that actually work snowstorms. They are doing what they should be doing. There are 5 large trucks, 3 superduty's that have a plow and, if were lucky, 4 pickups that work the storm. Then, after its over they can jump into a snowblower or bobcat, all 2 of the ones the City has that are currently working, and start doing sidewalks. Newton's ordinance has an exemption form for seniors and the disabled which the City takes care of those addresses. They also have a list of residents that will shovel for a fee and people/residents that will shovel for free. They thought this whole process out and came up with a very good solution. Thats how a City actually works. Together as a whole. Not by saying its not my job or why should I do it. And if your tax dollars are paying the City workers salaries then that means you must be a millionaire because if your paying 45 to 60 thousand a year in taxes then you dont have to leave your house in the winter anyways. The maid, butler, and gardener/landscaper are taking care of the sidewalk for you.
10:49 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
I would rather see our taxes take the slight raise to buy the city a few3 sidewalk plows as we used to have. We are not in the city where the frontage is a few feet. I do not own a snow blower and can shovel the walk and behind my car but I could never shovel what the street plows pile up in front of my wide lot. Three houses on my street have people away for the winter.
Jason Wichern
11:42 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
After watching people walking in the street on Newton St, High St, Prospect St days after the storm was over was embarrassing. If you are capable to shovel, take a little pride in your city and show some compassion for those who need to use our sidewalks. If you arent capable due to age or disability, find someone in your neighborhood who can do it for you. Its amazing how friendly some people are when we're faced heavy snow storms. No one should be forced to walk in the street on a busy road. And this goes for the city also. Newton St sidewalks by River St were never touched. The city needs a list of sidewalks they need to clear.

I agree with the Newton law that exempts elderly and handicapped persons. But there are a lot of people in this category in our city, and I don't think the city is prepared to clear these persons' sidwalks. In fact, the city did not clear the sidewalks in front of its own property on Trapleo Rd. until two weeks after the big storm, and until I complained. Thank you to George Darcy for taking care of it.
8:32 am on Friday, March 1, 2013
Most of you people who agree with shoveling the sidewalks probably don't pay taxes.
I don't own the sidewalk, the last time I looked it's city property. In a perfect world yes people should clear the walks and people should help each other out but it does not happen. Most people are out working and when they get home can barely clear their walk never mind sidewalks and yes it is the city's fault for the lousy job but it's every year. The plowers need a lesson in plowing!! Maybe we should have the DPW from Newton, Watertown or Belmont come and give lessons. Mr. Chaisson should be embarressed with this performance!!

What has paying taxes have to do with shoveling a sidewalk. Obviously you havent been reading whats been going on here. Newton, Belmont, and Watertown have 5 times the manpower. It has nothing to do with Chaisson. He can put in for 5 new guys and he gets approved for 1. A little inside info, the last 4 hires on the City are guys that are 50+ with political connections. Even though its in there job description that they have to be able to work snow, they refuse to answer the phone when there called to come in. Theres no equiptment, no manpower, and apparently no money to fix the stuff we already have. I dont know who your paying your taxes to, but the money's not going into the CPW Department. I dont complain about the sidewalks because I know for a fact the guy that clears them worked 2 days straight and couldnt go any further. How many trucks does the surrounding communities have? Waltham has 5. Its kind of hard trying to get 1600 miles of sidewalks cleared within 24 hours when your basically all alone. I'll leave the complaining to all the other people that pay taxes that think there getting ripped off because of a few measly bucks they have to come up with every year. Your taxes are also paying for those big yellow trash trucks that run year round. Your more than welcome to go down the City yard and show everyone down there how to plow, but if you want to get on the payroll, you better know someone. And keep in mind, your taxes are paying for them too. Do they plow?
1:29 pm on Friday, March 1, 2013
I am a property owner and tax payer. We don't own a snow blower (I wish we did), but we shoveled our sidewalks along with everything else. The city clearly has issues, so rather than pointing fingers, do what you can to help improve matters. I feel that the anti-shoveling folks here probably don't walk much... sometimes you have to dig a little deeper rather than crying about how it's everyone else's fault.

Breaking News! Lets do a comparison. The City of Newton has 2 fully staffed DPW Yards and almost half a dozen satellite yards. Included are 98 full time employees and 81 pieces of equipment. Snow equipment! Thats not counting the machinery they have for other projects and seasons. ie: Bucket trucks for tree work, gradall's, mini excavators, that sort of stuff. They also hire "92" separate pieces of equipment specifically for snow. Backhoes, loaders, trucks w/plows, sanders. All that and they still have an ordinance to clear the sidewalk in front of the houses.

RUDOLPH, Ohio Volunteers in the northwest Ohio village of Rudolph have come together to save the most famous postmark of all. Thousands of letters flood the village post office every December so they can be stamped with a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer postmark. But the tradition was in danger of ending when the post office staff was cut down to one and the work became too much to handle. Thats when volunteers in the community decided to take over the job. When word spread, pleadings from local politicians and townsfolk persuaded the U.S. Postal Service to allow volunteers to stamp the special Reindeer Station postmark on the 80,000 letters and cards that come in from across the country. Close to 75 people, including a few retired postal workers, have signed up to work daily shifts.

I'm at a drive-thru. Why can I not check-in?

Do I receive more spins if I check in at a Hardee's® and then at a Carl's Jr.® ?
The Carl's Jr.® Wheel of Awesome™ is different from the Hardee's® Wheel of Awesome™. Unfortunately, your Hardee's® wheel spins are not interchangeable with your Carl's Jr.® wheel spins.
The Wheel of Awesome™
When do I get to spin The Wheel of Awesome™?
Your first check-in and every fourth check-in thereafter. 1, 5, 9, 13…
How do I get extra spins on The Wheel of Awesome™?
Simple. You get a spin on your first visit and every fourth check-in thereafter. Visit the "Rewards" tab and "Happy Star Rewards™ Status" to find out exactly how many check-ins needed in order to spin the The Wheel again.
Why is it called The Wheel of Awesome™?
It's called The Wheel of Awesome™ because every time you spin you get something awesome. That, and "The Wheel of Super Cool" was already taken.
I was interrupted (received call, text, etc.) while redeeming my coupon. Where is my prize?
No worries. We saved your prize in "My Saved Rewards," located in the "Rewards" tab.
The application crashed when I was redeeming a coupon. What do I do?
You're prize is waiting for you in "My Saved Rewards," which is located in the "Rewards" tab.
My screen went to sleep when I was redeeming a coupon. Where is my prize?
Check out "My Saved Rewards," located in the "Rewards" tab.
My phone's battery died when I was redeeming a coupon. Where is my prize?
Don't freak out, your prize has been saved in "My Saved Rewards," located in the "Rewards" tab.
I won a premium prize and still haven't received it. What gives?
Patience, young grasshopper. Please allow up to 4 weeks for your reward to be mailed to you. To check shipping status of non-food or beverage stuff, visit www.wheelprize.com and follow instructions.
How do I unlock the locked premium rewards?
The more you check in, the more premium rewards you unlock. For example, if a reward says you need 6 more check-ins, then you should probably check-in 6 more times to unlock it.
I checked-in but I didn't get to spin The Wheel of Awesome™. Why not?
You need to check-in 4 times in order to earn another spin of The Wheel of Awesome™. Check your "Happy Star Rewards™ Status" located in the "Rewards" tab. To see how many more check-ins you need to get another spin.
When do my saved rewards expire?
Rewards last for 7 days. The clock is ticking. Make sure you use them before they expire.
Where are my rewards saved?
Your rewards are saved in "My Saved Rewards," located in the "Rewards" tab.
I won a reward that I don't want. Can I exchange it for another item?
Unfortunately, we cannot allow our customers to exchange their rewards.
Items listed here are not available at the restaurant. What's the deal?
Menu varies by location and we can only show products that are featured in the majority of our restaurants.
The nutritional information listed inside the restaurant doesn't match what is listed here.
We are constantly updating our nutritional information. Happy Star Rewards™ app has the most up-to-date information available.
I have food allergies and I am looking for allergen info. Where is it?
Allergen information can be accessed by visiting hardees.com
Where can I find all the ingredients of the menu item?
Ingredients information can be accessed by visiting hardees.com
How do I find the restaurant nearest to me?

None of these answer my question...
Please send our Customer Support team a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. email@example.com
What's the square root of 819?

Caitlin Falls
What I Like
Caitlin Falls is our registry consultant at the Tysons Corner store in McLean, Virginia. Her advice for couples? Don't fool yourself into thinking you'll drastically change your lifestyle after getting hitched. In other words, if you've never been one to whip up homemade muffins in the morning, it's probably not going to happen once you're married. She's all about helping you select the things that will make a smart, organized kitchen suited to your needs.
Soft Cheese Knife
A wine and cheese party is a sophisticated way to entertain that requires little to no effort, besides a quick trip to the market. Display the cheeses on a platter with these sculptural specialty knives that are sure to drum up conversation, not to mention make cutting the cheese a cinch.
Silicone Jar Spatula
This is brilliant when you need to scrape the bottom of an almost empty jar of peanut butter. The long handle prevents you from dousing your forearm (or worse, your sleeves) in whatever it is you're dishing out. Just throw it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
Kitchen Shears
Great for cutting just about anything in the kitchen—flowers, herbs, vegetables, poultry—these smart shears also have a built-in nutcracker, work for both righties and lefties, and of course can go in the dishwasher.
Set of 4 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups
Everybody needs these sets in their kitchen. The stainless steel is a nice-looking modern touch and lasts longer than plastic. Added perk: flat bottoms let them rest stable on the counter.
10-Piece OXO® Crock with Tools Set
This is the perfect starter set to foray into cooking. The stainless steel container looks sleek on the counter and has extra room, so you can add tools as you acquire them.
Wine-Bottle Stopper
One of my favorite gadgets, you can put this stopper in an open bottle of wine, olive oil or even soda, and it will extend its life. It's such a tight seal you can lay a bottle on its side in the refrigerator.
OXO® Pizza Wheel
Pizza is a fun, easy thing to make at home—not to mention a great way to feed a crowd—and this wheel slices a pie to perfection. I also find it much easier and more comfortable than a knife for cutting baguettes and brownies.
Microplane® Grater-Zester
Beginners will love this for grating parmesan cheese over pasta. More serious chefs will use it for zesting citrus in a recipe or shaving chocolate on desserts. Either way, it's a must-have in every kitchen.
Vinturi Red Wine Aerator
I can't rave enough about this gadget. It makes a $6 bottle of wine taste like a $16 bottle. By just pouring the varietal through the contraption, it instantly tastes like it's been breathing for hours.
Pineapple Slicer
This is one of my favorites. Pineapples are pretty inexpensive—it's when they do the cutting for you that it costs an arm and a leg. Do the work yourself with this instrument that peels, cores and slices the fruit incredibly easily, leaving you with a hollowed out shell for serving piña coladas.

Beaches Resort, Working Vacation.. by Assira1
I was called about a week before I had to go.. from a fellow in a local circus.. he needed 4 stiltwalkers asap for this event at the resort. I have never been anywhere like this.. and also had only been on 2' stilts for a wee bit at the time.. well I hooked up the other real stiltwalkers.. and learned how to dance on the 4' stilts, got my passport and went down. It was lovely.. and it's odd, over 30% of the Population is Canadian.. The locals were great.. It was a nice way to experience a resort.. meet some wild dogs, discover sea turtles, stingrays and blowfish..Pretty magical.

Poor Menu, Was expecting much more from a previously well recommended restaurant. Poor choice. Bruchetta starter was over cooked and chewy. The beef skewers for sharing was on the small side, a small handful of noodles with it. Had to order two sides, both small and €4 a piece, a bit much for the quantity. Chocolate torte as described by the waitress did not live up to expectation, burnt and dry. Service was standard, but no smile or banter or a check on our table to see if everything was ok. Wont be back!

Overpriced for quality - the cold salmon plate was literally just that - a cold plate with 4 slices of salmon, a wedge of lemon and 10 capers - no imagination into the presentation of this dish a €18/19 this was very poor. Nice desserts and coffee but will not be returning to this over-rated restaurant

I really enjoyed my experience at KC Blakes Brasserie. The restaurant is centrally located and very inviting with outdoor seating available. The view from the restaurant is lovely and the perfect place to eat well while enjoying the bustling Galway atmosphere. The prawn cocktail and fish cakes were excellent. I had pork belly with scallops for main course which was presented beautifully and tasted absolutely delicious. The fish and chips again looked and tasted amazing. I would definitely return to this restaurant on my next visit to Galway!

I went here for my birthday as a special treat. The food was delicious but I felt it was too pricey. I found the service to be slow and had to wait a long time between courses to be served. Our table was in the far corner and a large table beside us kept hitting their chair against mine. Overall, it was good but not excellent.

Went here with my boyfriend on a recent tip to Galway. I had the chicken and butternut squash risotto and he had the pork belly. Both meals were cooked to perfection. The nicest meal i've had in ages. Staff were very friendly and couldn't have done more for us. The manager even offered to move us to a nicer table once he had cleared it for us. Prices are slightly more than your average restaurant but well worth it. 5 stars !!!

This is a great restaurant - the food was delicious and our waitress was great fun and attentive even though the restaurant was packed.
The decor is really nice aswell and there is such a buss throughout.
The only downside is value - it is quite pricey - especially in the current times - however having looked at a number of restaurants on Shop street while going to it, I think all of the restaurants there are maybe a little overpriced in comparison to the rest of the country - but hey we all gotta eat - will return next time I am in Galway.

This restaurant has an early Bird Menu until 8.30 pm, which is later than most in Galway, and to be commended. We found the staff friendly and helpful. We started with duck parfait and chicken wings. Both were excellent and tasty. We then ordered salmon with risotto, and fish and chips. The fish was off - there having been a run on it- so I decided to have the burger. My companion did not like the risotto, which she found poorly cooked and also did not like the salmon. I found the burger acceptable, but then I am no burger fan. Including a bottle of wine the bill came to just over €60.00. All in all we were not enchanted with the restaurant, but maybe it was an off night, and we would probably try it again.

Avoid JustHost - too much downtime
by schwdhry - 12/17/11 7:14 AM
Based on the feedback provided earlier on this site and other Top 10 hosting sites, I decided to become a reseller with Justhost in August 2011. Initially, their service was very good, their 'chat' feature where by you can discuss your problems immediately with a customer service agent was very good. Their server was down once in October & November. However, I am very disappointed with their service now. Their server has been down 6 days out of the week. It is still down as I write. They have removed the online chat feature. Also, they had not mentioned anywhere on their website that they were rebuilding the RAID servers or when the servers were coming back online. It is only after I write to them repeatedly that I get a response and on average after about 3-4 hours later. I have some very angry customers and I am disappointed with their service. Obviously I am going to take my business with some other hosting company next year. Infact I would have moved now if only I had not paid upfront for a year's subscription in advance. My word is AVOID, AVOID AVOID Justhost. I am suffering and have made a big mistake!

there is certainly no need to match to the 4 travel lanes since the other side only has two lanes. But even if you want to match the 4 lanes why is an additional turning lane required?
