We came here with a small group of friends to their movie night, great concept and more so that you have your own room to watch a movie classic. But it was the food that was the big hit, the best pizza I've ever had, better than firezze, il bacio. The toppings were fresh and of a high quality, the pizza base light, crisp. The mozzarella was lovely. Will come back for their cakes as they look great.

why has this place got so many contrasting reviews, I have eaten many times as its my local and can say that it is one of the best Italian food joints you can possibly have. Their pizza are light and crispy and with real fresh toppings that the chef slices in front of you. great place to eat italian food.

Smogon Doubles Forum
I believe Smogon Doubles should have a forum of its own in Smogon Metagames, instead of just two threads in Other Metagames. My reasons are as follows:
Chaos had mentioned in a thread in Inside Scoop that he wanted Smogon to focus on both the singles and the doubles metagames. Giving Smogon Doubles a forum is a step that must be taken to achieve this. We currently have 7 out of 8 forums in Smogon metagames focused entirely on singles battles, and most of the other forum focusing on singles too. It'd be nice to have one dedicated to doubles. The doubles discussion thread has the most views and posts of all the threads on the first page of Other metagames with the exception of Balanced Hackmons, which is a metagame that is impossible to play IRL without hacking. Smogon Doubles Showdown ladder has more battles than the LC ladder, despite having competition with the VGC 2013 ladder. Despite this, the LC metagame has its own forum and C&C analysis page. Finally, in real life, Doubles is a popular metagame played. Whilst I can't speak on behalf of the rest of the world, in South Australia (and probably all of Australia), people pretty much only play OU singles and OU doubles irl, with Doubles being the more popular choice for tournaments. It seems strange that the world's greatest Pokemon competitive website does not focus on one of the most played metagames irl. I also believe that, in the long run, Smogon should have an C&C forum for Doubles and suspect testing, though I think one step should be taken at a time. |

Maxius Beauty was created by celebrity stylist and inventor Masood Max, who recognized that most hair styling products and hair appliances used in beauty salons were not created by the people who had to use them every day.
Seizing this opportunity, he set out to create hair products and hair styling tools that reduce styling time while at the same time produce great results. After the successful launch of Maxiglide and Miniglide, Maxius Beauty is still revolutionizing the hair care industry with nine electronic and other hair care appliance patents. To this day, Maxius Beauty remains focused on creating an ever-expanding, revolutionary line of professional quality hair care products and hair appliances with an emphasis on quality, technology and innovation.

Garrett Chow sneak peek
Friday evening All Chips on the Table, Garrett Chow's collection of bicycle related artwork, promises to be one of the best shows to hit SF since last year's Brian Vernor exhibit. Kudos to the Cycle Club for keeping us entertained with creativity of this calibre. Garrett himself has been keeping unusually quiet about what exactly the show will entail, but sent through these select images to whet the appetites. We also hear that World Champion cross racer Zdenek Stybar has sent through his Pink Specialized Crux from the Omega-Quickstep service course to be on display. From working with Specialized to some of the best T-shirt designs that anyone has seen, videos of adventurous riding to the co-creation of MashSF, Garrett has done it all.
The MASH Transit store - located across town on 14th Street - will host a cyclocross race from their shop over to the opening at the Cycle Club. Cutty Cross Cat will end just as the festivities will be kicking off at the Club, complete with espresso and adult beverages for all. Additionally there will be a selection of the Rapha Cyclocross Collection up for grabs as the winning prize.
So, as we eagerly await the opening of the doors Friday night for All Chips on the Table, keep an eye on the Rapha North America Instagram account – @Rapha_N_America – for updates along the way. If you happen to be in town, we hope to see you there.

House Brings it Home
photo by Steve Marsh
"For me this ranks up there with the best things I've done on a bike."
Kristian House rode into Guildford in the south-east of England yesterday afternoon as the King of the Mountains of the Tour of Britian 2012. Concluding a tough week of racing in which he used his all-round ability and tactical experience, he won the jersey on stage one, lost it, then reclaimed it on stage three, where it remained on his shoulders to the finish. He was crowned in front of a huge audience, with yesterday continuing the record-numbers of spectators that have turned out all week to show support at the race. It was an unprecedented success for Britain's tour and an indication of the rich health the sport is enjoying in the UK right now. Fittingly the World Champion, Mark Cavendish, took the last stage up a cobbled climb to the finish.
It was a fine performance from Mr. House who has been a leading rider for Rapha Condor Sharp for four seasons. The man from Canterbury rode tenaciously all week, getting involved in several long-range breaks and making them count, maximising his KOM points and ensuring his closest rivals didn't get away.
"It was a great day out there, and wearing the jersey on that stage was really special. There were people out there shouting my name, and my name was painted on the road, that was really amazing."
It's the second year running that a Rapha Condor Sharp rider has taken the KOM title, with this year's overall race winner Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (currently racing for Endura Racing) seizing the prize last year for the black train of Rapha Condor. However, the team has a very different line up to last term with a strong contingent of under 23 riders. The team's focus for the Tour this year was to contest the breakaways and get amongst the bigger name teams. The fact that this tactic worked so effectively is testament to the team's strength and commitment. Manager John Herety underlined this success, saying:
"Kristian's ride was above and beyond what we expected, but it was the result of him working out how the race was going to work, and our goal to keep the team represented in breaks throughout the week proved to be the ideal way to take that jersey this year."
In 2009 Kristian became National Road Race Champion riding for Rapha Condor and last year won the Tour of South Africa, he has also won the Richmond GP, and the Rás. He trains out in Austin, TX during the off-season.

Venue: Concert Hall View Seat Map Presented by: Sydney Symphony
A miracle of a symphony, a dream of a flute concerto, and Wagner madness with conductor Nicholas Carter.
Without Ludwig II of Bavaria there'd be no fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein; we wouldn't have the famous opera house in Bayreuth or quite as many Wagner operas. Was Ludwig mad? Certainly he was mad about Wagner's music. So in this Wagner 200th anniversary year we play an orchestral fanfare inspired by Ludwig's story and themes from The Ring operas. Original Wagner follows with music from The Mastersingers of Nuremberg and the rip-roaring Ride of the Valkyries – 'Hojotoho!'
Before madness comes classical equilibrium. In his 'Miracle' Symphony, Haydn surpassed himself, delighting his London audience with the brilliant sounds of trumpets and drums, and the rich variety of his ideas.
Lowell Liebermann has found his own way to please audiences, in music bursting with optimism and hummable melodies. A 'flautist's dream composer'? James Galway thought so when he commissioned this luminous concerto.

Sanders pushes bill on climate changeJanuary 13,2013
Sanders pushes bill
on climate change
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., said the warmest year on record in the United States and in Vermont has persuaded him its time to get serious about climate change.
Sanders said he will introduce legislation that includes a tax on greenhouse gas emissions from the biggest polluters, more money for energy efficiency, and clean energy research and development.
He said the measure also would end tax breaks and subsidies for fossil fuels.
Sanders announcement followed word from the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., that the mean U.S. temperature last year was 55.32 degrees, a full degree warmer than the old record set in 1998.
The mean 2012 temperature in Burlington was 50 degrees, also beating a record set in 1998.MORE IN Vermont NewsSpringfield Select Board endorsed the proposed memorandum with the developers of the $170 million...

County staff will make the ultimate decision on new court software.
Commissioners approved giving staff the leeway to negotiate up to a set amount for a software package, equipment and five-year maintenance plan. The software would allow the various courts and law enforcement agencies to share information electronically.
The county received two bids for software, one from South Carolina-based Fivepoint Solutions and the second from Illinois-based Integrated Software System. The bid from ISS was the lowest, at a total $522,086 to install the software and needed upgrades, more than $233,469 lower than FivePoints' bid, but the bids don't include the cost of a five-year maintenance plan, which the county wants to secure.
"This a long-needed thing," said County Manager Tod Tentler. "Our software is about 20 years old and falling apart. It's outdated — its impossible to update it's so outdated."
The current software also costs the county about $100,000 annually in maintenance, which would be eliminated with the upgrade. Tentler said that once all financing was secured — the project is eligible to use special-purpose, local-option sales tax funds — and staff were able to reach an agreement for installation and the 5-year guarantee on maintenance, they would move forward, as long as the amount was within commissioners' set limit.
In other business Tuesday, commissioners approved:
•Writing a grant for new bullet-proof vests for the sheriff's department.
•Approved a bid by Ideal Electric for up to $56,362 for electrical and mechanical work on the planned Whitfield Road Fire Station.
•Authorized the Tax Commissioner's Office to receive non-cash payments, which must be authorized after each election for the tax commissioner.
•Postponed the commission's Feb. 1 work session to Feb. 15, and Feb. 5 meeting to Feb. 19.

"I hate it"
I had a 16 seer unit installed in my home. About a month after install, the unit stopped working. I called the company that installed it and they came out and told me it had a bad valve. They replaced the whole heat pump and then a week later it happened again. I called the company again and they told me that the new heat pump had the bad valve in it too. I had two things I could do, I could change the valve on the new heat pump or I could replace the unit with a differant brand. I paid a little extra and bought a Coleman heat pump. Now, I have heat. I don't blame the company that installed it, they were very on top of it. I blame Amana.

"3.5 ton Scroll compressor, good unit"
Still going, amazing heat output, had to check to be sure strips weren't on, they weren't. No problems in 13 years. Coils are corroding, but all manufacturers seem to be using cheap Chinese aluminum now and it doesn't hold up. Love the efficient Scroll compressor, really lowered cooling costs when installed, Tampa, Fl. Have heard the new owners are not as concerned with quality.

"Amana / Goodman 15 seer Heat Pump"
I had two 15 seer Amana heat pumps installed in August of 09. Both have had problems with the reversal valve and I've had to use the "emergency" heat setting all winter due to this issue. My electric bill has been through the roof. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO TAKE A CHANCE AND BUY AN AMANA/GOODMAN TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS. PAY THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A TRANE.

I had an Amana 18 seer heat pump and high efficient propane furnace installed 07/29/09. I was sold on the warranty and quietness of the unit. a/c worked great, very quit. Fired up the heat pump 10/10/09 for the 1st time and the compressor locked up. I called service and they showed up in 2 hrs. I was told the compressor was junk, and they would replace the whole unit. I'm hoping it was just a fluke....

"Unsatisfactory Performance"
My Amana Heat Pump Model asz14 was installed on 8/25/06. It provided cooling during summer and heat during winter. However, in less than a year it started to give less cool air during summer and less warm air during the winter. When I called Clark & Rush, who installed the system, for service, they discovered that the unit has lost a lot of refrigerant. And I was further told that there was a leak somewhere and for them to find the leak, they will have to charge me $800+. So I said no, and got another air conditioning mechanic to look for the leak. It cost me half of what Clark and Rush was chargning me to find the leak. Apparently, the leak was not in the evaporator or the line going to the evaporator but at the heat pump. To make a long story short, the Clarke and Rush people, came, charged the system with refrigerant as well as a dye they said would help them locate where the leak is coming from. They returned after a month or so and indicated that the leak was coming from the braze of the line that is connected to the heat pump. After they fixed the braze, they charged the unit with refrigerant. This was on 11/11/08. About September of 2009, I noticed that the heat pump is not giving cold air or warm air. My a/c mechanic checked the system and had to charged it with 7 lbs. of refrigerant. Apparently, the heat pump is still leaking. Now, even after being charged, the system is still not giving cold or warm air. I should have gotten Carrier instead which is what I had before and had very few problems with it.

"Great System"
I am a electrical contractor, I have wired in many differant heat pumps for over 15 years. After seeing all that I had to choose from, I chose a Amana asz16 Heat Pump. I live in the Northwest and a/c is not that important but heating is. Amana is only average in cooling cost, but the heating is the best I could find. hspf of 9.75 is great.

I have a Amana Heat Pump installed 14 years ago, and I have had only one problem, I had a mouse living in the heat pump. I just have it checked once a year and it runs great. I was told to start planning on buying a new one because of the age of the unit, but it runs to good to replace it yet.

Hinsdale Humane Society runs weeklong camps to show children how man and animals can cohabitate. The campers travel to a different animal-themed place each day.
"The camp is designed to bring awareness of different kinds of animals and different ways people can interact with them," said Laura Donohue, volunteer coordinator at the Humane Society. "The children learn how we help (animals) and how they help us, as guide dogs or therapy cats."
Campers during last week's session went to Mayslake Forest Preserve, Shedd Aquarium Willowbrook Wildlife Center and Brookfield Zoo. They also met with the canine unit from the Willowbrook Police Department.
At Mayslake, the children learned about the creatures that live in the ponds and the prairie.
The guide had printouts with pictures of a variety of insects and fish that inhabit the area. The children were told to circle the creatures that they saw.
"We found dragonfly larva, leeches, beetles, little fish," Donohue said. After studying them, the children released the creatures.
"At the Shedd Aquarium, we learned how they train the whales and dolphins with positive reinforcement," she said. "They reward them with fish or clapping and splashing."
The camp is for children going into fourth- through sixth-grade. The camp costs $160 per camper. The next session is Aug. 6 to Aug. 10. Call (630) 323-5630 or visit www.hinsdalehumanesociety.org.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak tonight announced the impending appointment of Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan as the chairman of Petronas.
He said Mohd Sidek, whose term as Chief Secretary to the government ends tomorrow, would hold the position as soon as several internal matters at Petronas were resolved.
The current chairman of the company is also its president and chief executive officer, Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas.
Najib added that the appointment was in appreciation of Mohd Sidek's exemplary leadership and integrity in the public service sector.
"I'm confident and believe that Tan Sri Mohd Sidek will contribute greatly to (Petronas) and enhance the relationship between Petronas and the government," he said at a dinner honouring Mohd Sidek here.
This announcement is a secret to me... I only knew about it when the prime minister announced it"
Also present at the dinner were the Prime Minister's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, deputy prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and wife Puan Seri Noorainee Abdul Rahman and Mohd Sidek's wife, Puan Sri Wan Noorlina Wan Hussin.
Mohd Sidek was appointed as chief secretary to the government on September 3, 2006, with a three-time extension to date.
Datuk Seri Dr Ali Hamsa, 57, currently the Public-Private Partnership Unit director-general in the Prime Minister's Department would take over as the new chief secretary to the government effective June 24.
In the space of six years at the helm of the public sector, Mohd Sidek has raised the level of its service to one that could be emulated as a global benchmark.
"During Tan Sri Mohd Sidek's leadership, ties between the public and private sector were strengthened and he raised the civil service's management process by introducing the settlement of government bills within 14 days.
"The most successful transformation was the Blue Ocean Strategy which achieved encouraging results," he said.
Najib expressed his confidence that as someone who has been in service for 38 years Mohd Sidek was not one to seek personal glory but whose contribution was evident.
Meanwhile, Mohd Sidek said the prime minister's announcement of his appointment came as a huge surprise.
"I thought as the chief secretary and secretary to the Cabinet, there should be no secrets between us, but this announcement is a secret to me... I only knew about it when the prime minister announced it," he said.
Mohd Sidek said he appreciated the appointment and pledged to serve his best. — Bernama

Lawyer: Mom of abducted Indiana boy wasn't homeless
BROWERVILLE, Minn. (AP) — An Indiana mother whose former in-laws allegedly abducted her son nearly 20 years ago was not homeless at the time, the woman's lawyer said, refuting claims that the grandparents needed to step in because she was unable to care for the boy.
Authorities searched for the then-5-year-old Richard Wayne Landers Jr. for years, but the case went cold. They eventually found him living with his paternal grandparents in the small central Minnesota town of Browerville. He had changed his name in 2006 to Michael Jeff Landers.
Lisa Harter and the boy's father, Richard Wayne Landers Sr., did live in a car for three days at one point, but at the time of the boy's disappearance in 1994, Harter had moved into an apartment, attorney Richard Muntz told The Associated Press late Friday.
Muntz said that when Harter and Landers Sr. divorced, Harter — who has mild developmental disabilities— temporarily moved into a group home that wasn't equipped for children. The grandparents obtained custody and filed for guardianship, he said. After Harter moved into an apartment and gained custody of her son on weekends, she filed a petition to expand her custody rights when she remarried.
"The judge gave her custody on a trial basis, and before she could get him, that's when they left," Muntz told the AP.
Todd County Sheriff Peter Mikkelson has said the investigation was ongoing and the case will be forwarded to federal authorities for possible charges, perhaps related to non-custodial kidnapping.
Michael Landers seems to have understood his circumstances and lived willingly with his grandparents.
Neither he nor his wife immediately responded to telephone or Facebook messages. But postings from each of their Facebook accounts appeared Friday night and Saturday on the Facebook page of KARE-TV in Minneapolis, suggesting that the grandparents did what was necessary.
A posting from Michael Landers said: "For you people who jump to conclusions you should find out the whole story I was where I needed to be. My 'grandparents' were in the the right I dont care what anyone else thinks."
One of several posts from his wife, Bobbie Landers, said, "His 'grandparents' didn't follow the law, but they did what was right. .... He was 5. He remembers his birth parents and what they were like. ... He was where he WANTED and NEEDED to be to be safe and become the man he is today. My husband & my best friend." Continued...
Neither person immediately responded to follow-up messages from AP seeking confirmation it was their statement. AP believes the Facebook accounts to be theirs based on multiple links between theirs and those of confirmed friends and relatives.
Both of Landers' parents have said they're eager to see him again. Bobbie Landers wrote on Facebook that it wasn't clear what the next steps were.
"Mike does understand that it must have been hard for his mom. He doesn't discount that at all. He doesn't know how he feels about her and his parents (grandparents) have never said or told him anything negative about her," she wrote. " ... We're trying to keep our privacy and figure things out on our own."
Landers' grandparents took him during a custody dispute with Landers' mother in July 1994 from Wolcottville, Ind., about 50 miles southeast of South Bend. They withdrew $5,000 out of a home equity line, went out for breakfast and left town.
Investigators searched in vain for Landers, but declared the case cold. It was reopened in September after a conversation between Richard W. Landers Sr. and an Indiana State Police detective prompted another search of the Social Security number for Richard W. Landers Jr.
That turned up a Minnesota man with the same number and birthday as Landers.
Minnesota officials say the grandparents — now living in Browerville under the assumed names Raymond Michael Iddings and Susan Kay Iddings — verified Landers' identity. They were known as Richard E. and Ruth A. Landers at the time of the abduction.
A telephone message left for the Iddingses on Saturday was not immediately returned. A couple who answered the door at their home Friday declined to identify themselves and also refused an interview.
Muntz said he's trying to establish a way for Harter and her son to get reacquainted.
Richard W. Landers Sr. told the News-Sun in Kendalville, Ind., that he has forgiven his parents. Continued...
"I'm just thankful my boy is still alive, and I'll still get a chance to see him," he said.
Associated Press writers Kyle Potter in Browerville, Minn., Amy Forliti and Doug Glass in Minneapolis, Charles Wilson and Ken Kusmer in Indianapolis and Dinesh Ramde in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

Vehicle Information
The Nissan Frontier is one of the lowest-priced pickups available; and with the discontinuation of the Ford Ranger for 2012, it's also one of the few compact trucks remaining on the market. Four-cylinder Frontier models fill most needs for a basic truck--provided you have only light-duty tasks like hauling firewood or appliances--while V6 models are the way to go for those with serious towing in mind.In any of its guises, the Frontier is more maneuverable and easier to park than full-size pickups, while Crew Cab models have enough space for four adults and compared to other small trucks the Frontier line still offers some innovative storage features, such as removable rear-seat storage boxes, and the Utili-track adjustable tie-down system. Off-road purists will also like the complete set of go-anywhere equipment and interior comforts in the PRO-4X models, while in general, the Frontier can handle heavier-duty tasks than some other compact trucks because of its shared frame and structure with the larger Titan.

The temporary roundabout at Bahia Vista Street and Honore Avenue has been removed, and traffic flow there is controlled once again by a traffic light.
The intersection was made into a roundabout so a construction crew could create a medallion made out of paver-like concrete in the middle of the intersection.
The medallion was created to improve the aesthetics of the intersection.
Sarasota County Traffic Manager Efrain Duque also confirmed that the three-mile construction segment on Honore Avenue from Bee Ridge Road to Fruitville Road is almost complete.
The newly completed project includes a two-lane road, bicycle lanes and decorative streetlights. The smaller project was done in preparation for the county's complete Honore Avenue project, which will connect two segments of Honore Avenue into one road from Laurel Road, in Osprey, to Lockwood Ridge Road in Manatee County. The road would then become a north-south alternative to Interstate 75. The completion date for that project is 2015.
For weeks, motorists driving through the intersection ran over utilities, such as water main lines, that were exposed due to missing asphalt.
"There was a 1-inch thick portion of asphalt that was missing and caused the road not to be level," Duque said.
The project engineer had plans to install the missing concrete layer this week.
"The difference in height will be eliminated," Duque said. "Drivers will notice a difference, and the ride through that area will be much improved."

I've had this song in my head for nearly a week now. I've only heard it a few times and could only remember the melody, but I was humming it all over the place. In fact, I had never been particularly impressed with Adele until I heard and watched the video for "Rolling in the Deep."
There is something about the desperation in the lyrics and the passion in her voice that lets you know she poured herself into every second of the song. Every new layer builds on the next and by the time she gets to the chorus where she belts out "We could have had it all" I get chills.
When She talks about scars and fire and you can hear that burning come through in her voice. And the voice…the sultry sound is reminiscent of musical greats of the soul era that hardly anyone in modern music ever touches.
The video is just a cherry on top. Abstract but builds in much the same way the song does. The ninja dancer kicking up dust, the pile of broken china, the sparking that causes the model city to catch fire, the play with light and shadow. This, dear readers is a work of art on every level.

Morning Forecast Monday, February 4, 2013
Updated: February 4, 2013
Reported by Meteorologist Regina Miller
Today will be cold with temperatures in the low 20s. It will be windy early with a couple of flurries and partly cloudy skies. There could be a few snow shower bands around early. Then for the afternoon, clouds increase and some light snow starts to move into western parts of the region. It will overspread much of the region late and overnight as a clipper moves through. A light coating of snow with a trace to 2" could accumulate east of I-99 and near I-80. The south and western ridges could see 2-4 inches with as much as 4-6 inches in the highest elevations of Cambria and Somerset counties.
Tomorrow we may have some leftover snow showers or flurries, mainly early. It will be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. By tomorrow night, another clipper system moves our way to bring us some light snow.
Wednesday we will have early clouds breaking for some sun. There may be a few scattered a.m. snow showers in spots. Highs will be in the low to mid 30s. Then on Thursday, highs will be in the upper 30s.
There is a chance that a late week storm could develop along the coast, and bring us a mix or snow on Friday. Check back here since this system is still highly questionable, and we will watch it closely as the week progresses. Highs on Friday will be in the upper 30s.
We may see some sunshine and it will be a bit warmer for the weekend with highs in the low 40s.

Kemba drive/kick to Gordon.
Obviously no games outside of summer league have been played yet this year but as of right who do you think we give the ball to down 2 with 10 seconds left.....down 3?
Kemba's 3 ball and mid range are average at best but he can get to the basket better than anyone else.
Same will very likely be said for mkg?
Do you bring Reggie williams who has limited minutes but can hit 3s?
Mullens with his new found jumper?
Sessions or Gordon who have been there before?
or Henderson who struggles beyond the arc but mid range is above average.
Most teams have that one player who can do everything well, we do not. I see this as being a problem when we absolutely need points or need a late game shot to fall.

Should the State Install High-Speed Tolls on I-93?
Asked about toll fairness during a Patch live chat, Governor Deval Patrick asked a reader whether he'd support high-speed tolls. Are these a good way to share the transportation funding pain, or another money grab?
Are high-speed tolls along Interstate 93 and other highways a smart way to help fund transportation in the state? Governor Deval Patrick mentioned such a system during a Patch live chat on Thursday.
If you've gone up Interstate 95 into New Hampshire, you've seen high-speed tolling in action. The system is designed to read your EZ-Pass (new Fast Lane) transponder while you breeze by at 65 miles per hour. There's no need to slow down or squeeze though a booth, as EZ-Pass users currently do on the Mass Pike, Tobin Bridge and harbor tunnels.
The chat moved on to other topics, so no details about implementation were offered.
What do you think? Would tolls along I-93 offer some fairness to riders in Boston, MetroWest and North Shore, who all pay tolls getting into the city? Or are tolls in general a bad way to fund transportation projects in the state? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
8:05 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
The funds collected will also extend to speeding tickets, They will soon be looking at travel times from toll to toll. Get to the next toll too quickly, and a speeding ticket will arrive in the mail.
Carol Caro
8:20 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
Yes tolls should be on I 93 and the removed tolls from the Mass Pike should be returned. No one should get a "free" ride.
9:38 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
Tolls on Rt 93 would be more than fair -- they would be an equalizer. Why should Metrowest people be bearing most of the cost of highways and people who drive north get off free. Further, the fact that it requires tools just to get into NH or Maine makes it a no-brainer that there should at least be tolls ENTERING Massachusetts!!
Chris Schaffner
10:02 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
Increase the tolls everywhere. Raise the gas tax. Encourage people to leave their cars at home.
10:33 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
"No one should get a free ride"? Are you kidding me? Tolls throughout the state should be gone by now. The tolls were put in place to pay for the original construction of the highway(s). That has been paid off for years now. The government likes this source of revenue and kept it to support other spending. Revenue is not the problem. Spending is.
Matt Carter
2:56 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
I think the state should install tolls on I-93. The money would go to the future planned widening of the Highway. What? You people thought you could get away with keeping travel in the breakdown lane during peak hours. Well guess what the FHWA has a rule about that. The rule is they will allow a breakdown travel lane only if a DOT has a plan in the future to widen the highway (like on 128 right now) Currently the plan is to widen the highway from Route 129 in Wilmington to the New Hampshire Border.
Early estimates put that project in the $300 - $700 Million range. That includes $148 Million to construct a new interchange in Tewksbury.
We need to begin better funding in transportation not just at the state level but also the Federal Level.
Next Year call on Congress & the Senate to Finally approve a Multi-Year Transportation Surface Bill. Not an extension like we have had for the last 3 Years. States need to know that they will have funding later down the road to fund major projects.
The tolls also should go to finally redoing the clover-leaf interchange at I-95/I-93 in Woburn. But again estimates for that place it at $256 Million.
And I don't know why people complain. Go through Virginia or New York. You travel through high speed tolls and in express lanes. Your still paying money and it is basicly a toll.
5:03 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
Somehow the vast majority of our country manages to run its highway system without tolls. It's only in the NY/NJ/PA/NE area that tolls are so prevalent. I say get rid of them entirely, and when necessary, raise the gas tax to pay for highway maintenance.
5:03 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
Im all for tolls as long as the state doesnt mismanage the money...
8:35 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
The next thing in the works is a one cent per mile tax on the mileage you drive in a year. To be monitored when you drive in for the yearly inspection. All the info will be sent to the State Database. The money will go to help keep the MBTA afloat. Already being discussed.
8:36 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
Going fishing now.. about to land a big one... :) :)
9:07 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
Install tolls if you want!! I can afford them! You'll see my flying through those tolls in my Maserati baby! woo!!!
Pat Brown
9:03 am on Friday, October 5, 2012
Doesn't MAP-21 prohibit tolling of interstate highways except in instances of new construction? MAP-21, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, is the new surface transportation authorization bill which just took effect October 1.
It is fair to toll the same on the Mass Pike as on I93 if MAP-21 does not prohibit it. Did the Governor offer some hope on this issue?
Assuming the legal issue is cleared up,
1) I'd like some indication that we have reformed our transportation spending before we collect new revenue to do "more of the same" (that is, what got us into the $19 billion in deferred maintenance hole in the first place). I don't see the creation of MassDOT as sufficient solution to the spending problem.
2) I'd like some guarantee that the tolls paid by drivers actually go toward maintenance and repair of the existing transportation system rather than funding expansion projects. If we can't maintain what we have, it's counterproductive to build more.

White Rums White Rums, with their delicate taste, make the ideal base for many mixed drinks and cocktails. Though they do not have the same depth of flavor as their darker cousins, their subtlety and versatility is ample compensation. Golden Rums Golden Rums are of great importance to the blender as they can be used to create smooth blends with more depth than is possible using white rums. Varying from light to medium and heavy bodied, these rums acquire their warm glow in the cask. Dark or Navy Rums Dark Rums represent the earliest form of rum. Commonly called Navy Rum, a name derived from the 16th century when a ration was given to British Naval Office everyday while at sea. The rich, robust and pungent flavor is not intended to be consumed on its own. Aged Rums Aged Rums are usually dark golden because they have spent so long in the cask that they have drawn their color from the wood and literally become tanned. With this process all traces of roughness vanish, leaving a spirit that can surpass cognac in smoothness and bouquet. Over Proof Rums These spirits are most frequently white rums bottled at extremely high alcohol content. Over proof spirits are those bottled at more than 50 percent alcohol by volume. These types of rums contribute a distinctive "charge" to any cocktail. Flavored & Spice Rums As the names imply, the addition of natural fruit flavorings or a small bevy of spices alters these rums. White rums are most often married with fruit flavoring, while gold or aged rums are more often used as the base for spiced rums.
Kill Devil: Ancestor of Rum When cane juice is boiled under vacuum, sugar crystals are formed and separated from the residual molasses. Widely used as food for the poor and cattle feed by the rich, it was only a matter of time before the intoxicating properties of molasses were discovered. This sucrose-rich brown syrup mixed with water eventually ferments and becomes diluted alcohol. When distilled, this 'crude liquor' appeared to engender such loutishness by whoever drank it that it became known as 'Kill Devil'. How Rum Got Its NameThe raw fiery alcohol, Kill Devil, was said to 'light a blaze' and provoke unruly rumbustious behavior. Although riot and mayhem are no longer part of the rum experience, the spirit's vibrant origins seem enshrined within the very name 'rum'. Experts fail to agree on the origin of the word. However, various romantics propose that the name 'rum' is derived from the rumbullion, rumpus and rumbustion that were essential parts of the drinking experience.

Today is a good day. The weather is disappointing for the middle of an English summer, it's cool, overcast and windy (and no it's not like that all the time in England), but today is a good day because I'm coming to the end of my latest painting and it's turning out… well, I like it.
It's also been nice for me to realise that some of my journey artistically, is becoming familiar. There are places on that journey that I now recognise and stages that no longer scare me like they once did… well, not as much anyway.
Now when I start a picture I can begin to see a clear process. Before, it was like having all the parts, but not a clear plan of how they all go together. Now however, I can see how it goes together from the start. Working practices are beginning to form. A plan, if you like, is developing.
I still don't know how everything will turn out, which is great, but I do have a plan of attack technically. In fact, better than that, I think I'm beginning to detect the faint aroma of a 'style', something that is me. From where it comes I don't exactly know, but I thank God it's there anyway.
So where does style come from? What makes us identifiable? When someone rings up on the telephone we normally know right away who it is, their voice is instantly recognisable, but how does that happen with our work? What makes a Van Gogh stand out from a Van Hals (yes I know they're completely different stylistically, but I was trying to make a point and their names are similar, which is nice… from a literary point of view).
I'd like to suggest that before we get our own voice artistically, we copy a lot of others first. Neil Gaiman gave a University address recently in which he said, "Most of us only find our own voices after we've sounded like a lot of other people", and he was absolutely right! What is annoying however, is that from an early age we are dissuaded from copying. You know how it goes, copying's wrong, unimaginative, cheating and all that other crap.
But if you were to be left in a blank room with no windows and only your clothes, a flat surface, a piece of paper and a pencil (crayons if you're more creative) to work with, what are you going to come up with? Unless you're a savant, a very experienced artist, or The Good Lord himself, not much!
We all need inspiration, we all need something to copy and often someone to emulate. Stylistically I've copied or borrowed from many people down the years. I probably still do if I see something that inspires the "that is so cool" response but slowly I'm developing my own "voice". I may be saying something that's been said before, but perhaps it's not being said anymore and perhaps it needs to be said now. I don't know. All I know is that I try to paint what interests and moves me.
Finally, George Bernard Shaw said;
Some see things as they are and ask why? Others, dream things that never were and ask why not?
Seeing things as they are and asking 'why' is a good point to start learning and observing the things that we want to represent (or change), but at some point we might also begin to see things as they could be and ask 'why not'?
When we begin to see ourselves as we could be and not as we are, I believe a vital shift takes place in our thinking that impels us towards that change.
So, with "could be" in mind, here is Phoebe. Phoebe is a greek word that suggests radiance and I hope that is suggested at least in her portrait. She's kind of in the bottom right hand corner of the canvas in landscape and not slap bang in the middle as in a 'portrait' style canvas. But then again, "why not"?
Here's a slightly closer shot. I still need to add a couple of finishing touches that I can't do while the paint's wet and the dodgy camera phone shots never do it justice, but…. sorry, I'll stop whining now.
