New chapter for county library system
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 8:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 8:37 a.m.
More cities would have a say over how the Sonoma County Library operates, including whether to increase hours when certain branches are open, under proposed revisions to a joint powers agreement to be unveiled today.
A revamped library commission, presumably with members drawn from all nine cities in the county, also would play a more prominent role in budget affairs, including having the ability to seek new taxes that could in theory help cover costs for expanded hours and services.
The review of the 1975 agreement was launched in October amid a torrent of criticism over Library Director Sandy Cooper's management style and the commission's perceived acquiescence to her demands.
Cooper, 67, announced her retirement in June. Her last day is Friday.
North County Supervisor Mike McGuire led the review, which was widely interpreted as a bid on the part of the supervisors to gain more control of the library system, including possibly the ability to hire and fire the director.
McGuire on Monday said the proposed changes are "only going to strengthen the commission and ultimately hold that director accountable."
But a case also could be made that the proposed changes would further distance supervisors from the library's day-to-day operations and allow them to deflect any future concerns to commissioners or to city officials who appoint them.
"The board won't have to put up with people standing up and complaining about the library all the time," Cooper said Monday.
However, the departing director said she supports having a stronger, "totally independent" commission.
The review committee includes one representative each from the nine cities, the county, the Board of Supervisors and the library commission.
Under the draft agreement, county supervisors would appoint a single member to the commission, as opposed to the current practice of five members drawn from each of their districts. City councils in all nine cities also could appoint representatives, not just those in Santa Rosa and Petaluma.
"Every city is involved. Everybody has a voice," said Julia Freis, who was appointed to the library commission by Supervisor Shirlee Zane and is the commission's representative on the committee making the recommended changes.
Freis said she supports the library commission being given exclusive budget authority and the ability to seek new taxes. The library system currently receives most of its funding through a share of property taxes.
The draft agreement would allow communities to raise and spend money for the purpose of increasing hours and services at individual branches. Currently, all 11 of the largest branches operate with the same hours, with the exception of the central branch in Santa Rosa, which unlike the others is open Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m. All branches are closed Mondays.
Tom Popenuck, lead building mechanic at the library and chapter president of SEIU Local 1021, said employees generally support having the library open as many hours as possible, so long as staffing is adequate.
He also raised concerns about funding oversight, and perceptions that county supervisors "are kind of letting" the responsibility for that go.
Under the draft agreement, the county will continue to oversee the collection of money for the library system. The library commission also will have to hold public hearings at least one month prior to approval of a budget. McGuire said that recommendation is a nod to some in the community who he said felt "caught off guard" by budget reductions announced in the past.
Supervisors are scheduled to review the recommendations at their meeting Tuesday. They then are scheduled to be presented to city councils in all nine cities, starting Oct. 1 in Santa Rosa.
McGuire said he's hoping to have a new agreement in place by February. Any amendments to the library's operating agreement require unanimous consent of the county and the cities of Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Petaluma and Sonoma, which were the original signatories to the 1975 document.

Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment for Sinus Infections
Home Remedy Ingredients:
- 3% Hydrogen Peroxide - 1 part (e.g., 1 Tablespoon)
- Filtered Water - 5 parts (e.g., 4 Tablespoons)
Mix four parts water with one part hydrogen peroxide, then irrigate the nose with a nasal spray bottle or neti pot.
[YEA] 02/05/2013: Gary from Arvada, Co: "Hydrogen Peroxide for Sinus Infections: I looked at this web page out of curiosity as I have my 1st sinus infection in 12 years. Curious because when I was a teen I had them all the time. I one day got so tired of living that way against my better judgement and the warning label not to take up the nose, I did anyways desperate to kill it. I took the cap off the bottle, poured what seemed like 3-5 drops in the cap, slowly added water in the cap, and snorted up my nose, then did the same the other side. Also dipped a qtip in the peroxide and went deep in both ears. I was cured instantly after the burning sensation and drainage cleared the burning sensation away. I always wondered if this cure had possible brain damaging effects like sniffing markers would?
Anyways, I totaly forgot I used to use this when I was younger, and sinse so many people have admited doing this I will too. I guarantee it almost always instantly cures you. Don't miss the ear swab with it, and a throat gargle. It will burn, and your eyes too for a bit, and will make you a bit or very dizzy for 1- 20 minutes. There were a few times I did it twice a day for a few days in a row to make sure I didnt miss any of the infection. I just want to say this does work, and thank you for reminding me.
One warning, per the burning and foaming , hold your breath as you need to tip your head back so it goes deep down your sinuses. This means a bit may go down your throat causing a little lung choke. A few times in the past, after I did that it went down through my nose down my throat, and a bit got in my lungs, I felt like I couldn't breath for a few minutes and coughed excesively. It really sacred me!!! the peroxide fumes, can cause your lung passages to swell. {So keep it to a few drops or you may regret it} I mean it!!! So make absolutrely sure you hold your breath a good 20 secs after snorting it. Peroxide also cures my sore throats I get occasionaly, gurgle it carefuly do not swallow. {Hold your breath, and gargle after a minute with plain water and spit out.
I forgot I did this, because it started to become a big habit, I did it for preventative reasons too often, and 1 day I said I better stop this or I could be possibly slowly killing brain cells, I don't know? After reading this forum I thi maybe the drs and fda dont want you to know this cure or theyl loose patients to thids remedy. Plus a dr has to worry about malpractice if they say its okay, and someone is to stupid to realize not to od on it, so they say nothing. I wonder????
The best answer, is start out with 1 drop per top cap filled with water and snort. Test your tolerance 1st. If its not so bad try 3 {next time} and no more than 5 drops per capful. Im sure I don't have to tell anyone to be respectful and not share the same bottle of peroxide with others even if it is a disinfectant. lol.
Hope this helped. I did this twice a week when I was 18-19-20 yrs old even when I didnt have anymore infection to keep it from returning. I'm 38 now and this is my 1st sinus infection since about 20 when I stopped."
Replies01/01/2014: Taram7 from Cincinnati, Oh replies: "Best folk remedy that works! h2o2 TO SOAK in each ear for at least 1-2 mins each side twice and drain out... do this 2-3 times a day - don't know how it works but it really does. I use this on myself and my kids at the first sign... after using it.. no more congestion, nose blowing, etc. Seems to work for some seasonal allergies too."
[YEA] 01/02/2014: Man from America replies: "Oh most definitely Hydrogen Peroxide in the ears will clean out much debris in there. I heard once that to put Hydrogen Peroxide in the ears at the first inkling of a cold or sick feeling. In fact I have done this for seven minutes or longer for each ear until there is very little bubbling in the ears. It is very useful for this purpose. On two occasions the full blown cold/sick was stopped in its tracks. I mean, I did not have to go through the full cycle of sick, sicker, and sickest from the cold. I also used prayer to Healer and obedience to God, and Vitamin C and EVOO and turmeric and other anti inflammatory things like Coconut oil and (see other posts)."
[YEA] 10/21/2012: Lady_samantha from Mn, Usa: "It burns like hell. But mins after doing it. I felt a lot better! I mean a lot!"
[YEA] 09/23/2012: Diane from Foley, Al: "Working with arts and crafts and living on a farm with feed and hay, you tend to get a little infection. Got this idea from Earthclinic about 6 yrs ago. I use hydrogen peroxide (4 drops) 1/4 cup water. I mix and put in a dropper. I lay down and arch my head back put about 4 drops in and let the mixture sit there for about 2 minutes. It burns a little. Then I blow it out. Within 5 minutes the pressure is gone. Within 15 min. It's all gone. It does not return until I throw hay again. It's always work for me, and no problems."
06/28/2012: Oxygenman from Jackson, Mich: "I have another remedy that you might be interested in. Take 1oz of 35% foodgrade hydrogen peroxide and 11ozs of distilled water and mix and put in a sprayer and than spray 4or5 times each nostril and hold as long as you can and then blow. I did this at night once a day and on the third night I had to wake up my wife and show her what came out, it wasnt the regular sinus drainage that I was used to it was like a clot of some kind and it was more than the yellow and green shit, it was nasty."
Replies07/18/2012: Kris from Wis. Rapids, Wi replies: "My head hurts so bad but that was hillarious! Thanks for the giggle!"
02/09/2013: Lea from Montrose, Colorado replies: "To oxygenman: I think what you were describing about the clump of grossness that came out was what is called a "fungal ball". I read about this when I researched fungal sinusitis. Yuk!"
12/02/2011: Ilovejoybells from Cocoa Beach, Florida : "I am just starting to use the food grade Peroxide being very careful I stay to the 4 drops per 8 oz. glass. I have only taken it twice now. I have a history of Sinus infections and my friends swear this will help me so much with my over all breathing? So far it's helped me big time. Should only an 8oz per day be enough to see me continue to feel better? Any input I would appreciate."
Replies12/03/2011: Mmsg from Somewhere, E replies: "If that amount is doing you good, why change?! Sometimes we rush, but run into trouble. As they say: "Slow and steady wins the race"!!"
05/14/2012: Rachel from Louisville, Kentucky replies: "Most of my sinus infections start in my ears and I've noticed that if you put hydrogen peroxide in your ear it will get the infection out. I've never tried putting it in my nose and probably never will, its easier to put it in your ear and it does work."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 01/11/2010: Grandestgrandma from Brooklyn, Ny: "I have tried the remedy of hydrogen peroxide to clear an ongoing chronic sinus condition I used a syringe with .1m and I did this three times a day for 3 days I have developed terrible headaches I contacted one place and they said to stop it so I did now I just get these attacks like when you go out in the cold and it pulls up to the brain any help available will be greatly appreciated. thanks"
Replies11/30/2011: Sally from Se, Kansas replies: "I don't normally suffer from sinus problems but was looking for relief from a sinus infection that stemmed from a cold. All I could dream about was an antibiotic from the doctor but didn't want to spend the money on our racket of a healthcare system. So I looked into homeopathic remedies and ended up here on this sight. Deciding against apple cider vinegar - although I do believe that it is some powerful stuff - the hydrogen peroxide was something I'd never heard of but sounded like a good idea. I shook some salt from the salt shaker into a small bowl, added about a 1/2 cup of warm water, then put in the hydrogen peroxide - just a glug - far less peroxide than water in my mixture. I dug out one of those blue baby booger suckers I used when my kids were smaller. Tipped my head back and squirted it in one side of my nose - it burned bad! This is not even the 50/50 mixture - but green & yellow snot with the fluid immediately came dripping out my nose and landed in the sink. It was really cool. I repeated this several times on each side until the snot stopped coming out. I can even breathe out of one nostril now. Wow! Thanks for this cool site! This was way better than antibiotics - even a little fun. :)"
01/05/2012: Pontiacmoon from Manitou Springs, Co replies: "This is hilarious... I'm going to try it with a turkey baster.. Lol. Thank You :)"
[WARNING!] 02/08/2012: Gardner123 from Cincinnati, Ohio replies: "The person who says they use a 50/50 solution of peroxide to saline has to be joking! The first time time I tried the wash I used 2 tablespoons of peroxide to 1 packet of saline and 8 oz. Lukewarm water for my netti pot squeeze bottle (much easier than the netti pot). The first blast drove me to my knees it burned so bad. My nose foamed and I swear it felt like the foam came out my eyes and ears too. I know it didn't, but it sure felt like it did. As soon as I could breathe again and stand, I rinsed with plain, cool water. For an hour after that attempt, I could feel the uncomfortable bubbling sensation in the roots of my jaw teeth.There is some validity to the treatment however. I now use 1 teaspoon with the saline solution. I was on antibiotics for a year, had my 2nd sinus surgery last year, and continued with aantibiotics for an ongoing sinus infection for another 7 months. I gave up on the antibiotics for the peroxide wash and have not had a sinus infection for 4 months now."
[YEA] 04/19/2012: Chucktruck from Montgomery City, Missouri, Usa replies: "Wimps, all of you. I snort the straight 3% right up my nose and into my sinuses. Yes it burns, therefore I do not recomend it unless you have a rather high tolerance for pain. Just try to limit the quantity so you do not swallow it when it comes down the back side. Enjoy!! Chucktruck"
[YEA] 08/09/2012: Bradford from San Francisco, Ca replies: "Holy C**P , this really works. I did antibiotics two weeks ago and nothing moved. I had presure and pain, unable to taste anything and dizzy everyday. I was going crazy waiting for another Dr. Office visit and saw this water salt and little bit of Hydrogen peroxide mix, tried it and suddenly I had drainage for the first time. Never so much so fast. It kills but it works."
10/25/2012: Shamil from Ocean City, Nj/usa replies: "Every year in the past fall season, I would get a cold/sinus infection that took me to my MD, who then put me on a course of antibiotics. About four years ago I began the sinus rinse (sea salt warm water) at the first sign of infection. This helped greatly. About two yrs. ago I started adding h2o2, and have not needed an MD or antibiotic since. When started early enough, only a small amt. of h2o2 added to the rinse solution works for me."
10/25/2012: Paul123 from Burns Harbor, Indiana replies: "About how many drops ?"
[YEA] 06/15/2013: Chipaholic from Brandon, Manitoba replies: "After 3days of antibiotics and no results I was on the floor in pain, I tried this and I am not in pain anymore! Yah! I thought my weekend was ruined."
11/25/2013: Jimmy O. from New York, Ny replies: "I can't stop laughing after reading Chucktruck's response here. As I read through all the entries here I thought that maybe I was overdoing it a bit. LOL I too use straight 3% HP up both nostrils and in both ears. It sure can hurt, so it's not for the faint of heart. I know it's working if I think my eyeball will explode. LOL Straight HP is strong medicine, but if you can bear it, it does work. Don't forget the ears too!"
[YEA] 09/28/2009: Alex from Hawthorne, California: "I read an article on a person in mexico city. he suffered from sinuses for seven years, and me i was sick for five. i could not believe it at first. but i am fine from alergies and living great for now. here is my cure, like i said it is up to you to do it.
use a sinus rinse which you can find in cs, rite aid or other pharmacies. put some hydrogen peroxide amount. mixed with warm water and flush your nose. the next day u will start hacking and spitting kind of brown mucus from your mouth. it will take about one week to start feeling great and getting the sense of smell back. to tell you the truth it does work. if any questions email me ok"
09/28/2009: Jamie from Lake Worth, Fl replies: "Please give more details. I have had long time sinus issues and am interested in this cure. How much peroxide? How much water? How often do you rinse?"
06/13/2010: Angel from Indianapolis, Indiana replies: "how much water and how much peroxide do u use i have had a sinus infection for almost a yr now and have no health insurence to go to the dr so plz let me know"
03/12/2011: Amanda from Seattle, Wa replies: "How much water to how much peroxide? and how often a day?"
05/08/2011: Marlene from Nampa, Idaho, United States replies: "Mix 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and water. Put it in a nasal spray bottle and spray one squirt in each nostril twice a day. It clears out the infection almost right away."
[YEA] 04/18/2009: Minerva from Baton Rouge, LA: "Like many people who have written on this site, I suffered with sinus infections until the bouts with them became more frequent and intolerable. I would break down every year and get a steroid shot after becoming desperate. After finding this site, however, I decided to try the neti pot and added a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to the already pre-mixed solution packet in lukewarm water. I was not looking for a miracle, but must say that I feel like a new person after only a day and a half. I have used the solution three times and can tell that my glands are not as swollen and that my sinus passages are starting to open. I no longer have the eye or face pressure that is so painful with an infection. Truthfully, the mixture is not pleasant, but it works. After the first time you use it, you will get your same symptoms returning, but it is after the second/third use that you realize that you are being cured of your actual infection. Thanks to this web site I hope to never need antibiotics again. Thank you."
[YEA] 03/04/2009: Charles from Los Angeles, CA: "Hydrogen Peroxide + Neti Pot = No more Sinus Infection. I am a big believer in natural remedies (probiotics rock!) but my wife is a HUGE skeptic. She has been suffering from severe headaches with pressure in her forehead, eyes and cheeks for about a month. She has always had problems with her sinuses and has tried a neti pot with a saline solution, but with no luck. Before my wife went off to the doctor for another round of antibiotics (boo!) I found your website. What an incredible source of information. I followed some of the postings here and mixed up a 50/50 mix of lukewarm water and hydrogen peroxide in her neti pot. Almost instantly she said the pressure in her head subsided and her nose started pouring. As other people have commented the mucus was thinner and whiter than before and it did sting when she first started. But says it is definitely worth it."
Replies03/04/2009: Gean from Salina, KS replies: "Did you put salt in the Neti pot along with the water and hydrogen peroxide? If so, how much?"
03/06/2009: Charles from Los Angeles, CA replies: "No, we didn't use salt with the hydrogen peroxide, but my wife did use a saline solution after the peroxide mix. She's been using it for 3 days now and for the first time ever she gets a steady stream out of both nostrils using her neti pot.
I have another question for people - can you use too much hydrogen peroxide? At what point should you just use salt and water?"
[YEA] 03/07/2009: Jusin from Topeka, Kansas replies: "I'd like to thank Charles and Earth Clinic. a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide and water in a netti pot (or what I used, a decorative tea pot) and pouring it down through my nose cleared up the horrible pain I had. My pain on a scale of 1 (non-exisitant) to 10, 10 being the worst (pulling teeth because it would be easier to deal with), it would have been an 8. Not because of the bad sinus infection it's self but because of my bad (bad!!) tooth the infection was bothering."
[NAY] 03/07/2009: Scianna from Sacramento, Ca replies: "I tried the hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 cup warm water and 1 capful of the peroxide and I got the worst nose bleeds possible. I do not recommend this. Good thing I didn't do the 50/50!"
04/21/2009: Honesty from Durham, NC replies: "If your sinuses burn you are using too much peroxide! you should only use about a half a teaspoon per 10 oz of water. you should definitely NOT be putting a 50/50 mixture into your nose. It can and WILL make sinus symptoms worse if you use too much peroxide. Also, I would recommend using about a tsp of salt in the mixture as well."
04/01/2010: Vic from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "You should always use salt with the warm water and a little peroxide. The reason you should use salt and warm water its because it mimics what we already are made of. salt water mainly, actually the exact same amount that exists in our oceans. By using the salt or saline solution along with warm water it will not give you the drowning affect or pain in your nostrils. it will flow smoothly. Our bodys use peroxide as an antibotic. i also use peroxide when i have tooth aches or mouth rinse, anyway hope this helped."
[NAY] 01/16/2009: Lori from Kapaa, Hawaii: "I have had sinus congestion for the past several days real bad. I decided to try the 50/50 Peroxide/Water mix and squirt in each nostril. It burned like people said on your site and my nose started running like crazy, but it did NOT clear up my sinuses. Actually it increased the pressure in my sinuses so much that I did not sleep well at all, had a sinus headache, and my cheek bones hurt. I would not try that again."
Replies10/30/2009: Joe from Wichita, Ks replies: "If using H2o2 burned your nose... you used too much. You should have only used about a tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 8 ounces of water."
06/01/2008: Diane from Magnolia Springs, Alabama: "June 1, 2008 for a living I deliver mail as a Rural Carrier in a right hand jeep. In Baldwin County along the Gulf Coast the roads here are dirt or red clay probably about 4 to 5 miles on my route. During the dry months the dirt covers the vehicles inside and out and of course your hair, body and you breathe in the dirt particles in your nose and mouth. I would suffer with horrible headaches in the evenings and morning until I discovered Nitty (rinsing your nose with water and small drops of hydrogen peroxide) it's wonderful at removing the dirt and pollen that gets trapped inside your sinus cavity. I do this immediately when I get home and no headaches."
[YEA] 04/07/2008: Sarah from Baltimore. MD, USA: "My husband had been struggling with a sinus infection, he started taking 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water a couple times a day. The second day we doubled the dose and a few minutes later a ball of disgustingly yellow and green mucus came out flying from his mouth... I mean flying. It was pretty impressive. The nest of the infection was gone. Thanks HP!"
Replies08/05/2009: Jim from Madison, Wi replies: "I hope you are not puting 5 drops of over the counter HP in a glass of water and drinking it. You can have some bad side affects from that. It is not recommended. However, I am glad that you feel better. If people are going to injest HP, they need to only use 35% Food Grade HP. Do lots of research before using and make sure you are sure of what you are doing... it can be fatal!"
06/24/2013: Beverly from Maryland replies: "Awesome!!!! Just did it... 4:01 in the morning. Awesome!!!!!"
[YEA] 01/15/2008: Larabelle from Dallas, Texas: "I have a neti pot and for sometime had been using distilled water, salt, and baking soda but tonight that did not work. My sinuses were aching and it is 11pm. I have to be up for work at 4:30am. I need my sleep because I am a registered nurse and my unit is always busy. Anyway I immediately came to your site to see what other remedies I could use. You may ask why did I not seek out one of my doctors to write an antibiotic prescription for me. Well, good question as a nurse I see repeatively people's kidneys damaged as well as yeast overgrowth due to antibiotics and I refuse to become one of the many with those conditions. Also I have found that alternative remedies found on this site work soo much better and faster. So anyway I decided to try 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and half water. IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC FOR BEING HERE WHEN I NEED YOU!!"
[YEA] 03/13/2007: Cat from Portsmouth, VA: "Hydrogen Peroxide and Sinus Infection: I mixed equal parts of Hydrogen peroxide and water and used a dropper in my nose... it burned like crazy and bubbled all sorts of stuff out... after a few minutes I felt so good and could breath!"
[YEA] 12/25/2006: April from Guyton, GA: "I mixed about 6 parts water with 1 part hydrogen peroxide (the regularly available kind). I hung my head upside down off the side of the bed and had my husband squirt a little bit of the mixture into each nostril with a dropper. It DID burn, but I kept it in there as long as I could stand it, moving my face around to move the mixture through my sinuses. A few minutes after sitting back up, the mucous starting coming out of my nose and throat. I blew my nose for about 10-20 minutes and coughed up some mucous. It isn't pretty, but it worked. I did feel flush for several minutes afterward, too. That little bit of discomfort is worth the relief."

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 8:46 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
Talk about a full sprint away from the White House. Democrats in Congress are ready to approve plans that would block detainees held at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to jails in the U.S.
Instead of fighting for the idea of closing down the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base jail for terrorism detainees, Democrats simply caved on the issue on Wednesday.
With barely a whimper after several hours of debate, the Senate on Tuesday night - by a simple voice vote - approved an amendment to a war spending bill that stripped out $80 million requested by the White House to close down the GTMO prison.
Today, it's expected that Democrats will beat Republicans to the punch, and move a plan that would ban the transfer of detainees to the US, whether for freedom or to prison.
That would be temporary, while waiting for a plan from the White House on what to do with the detainees. GOP Senators want something much more set in stone.
It's sort of amusing to think that last year, closing down Guantanamo Bay had Republicans on the defensive.
Now in 2009, it is Democrats who are backpedaling furiously, as the GOP has grabbed this issue by the scruff of the neck.
Democrats are openly grumbling that the White House has caused this by not developing a plan on what to do with the detainees.
While the White House keeps saying that Guantanamo will be closed down, I'm not so sure about that.
This will be an interesting issue to watch in coming months as the White House tries to sidestep Congress.
One thing is for sure, both parties will be watching closely.

The country is pulling for a Tulane University football player seriously injured in Tulsa
Tulane senior safety Devon Walker was involved in a head-to-head collision in the last play of first half of Saturday's game against the university of Tulsa.
According to Tulane University's team physician Dr. Greg Stewart, Devon Walker underwent surgery Sunday afternoon.
In a three hour surgery at St. Francis hospital in Tulsa, neurosurgeons stabilized his spine. He is now in recovery.
Walker was down on the field for close to 30 minutes. TU's Chaplain led the crowd in prayer during halftime.
Tulane is expected to make another statement about Walker's condition Monday afternoon.
His school has set up a Web page filled with information on how folks can donate money, leave messages and check for updates.

Huge Disappointment! A review of Half Moon Bay Lodge
We arrived late and were tired. The facility smelled of duraflame logs (no longer allowed real wood) which was a huge turnoff for a "romantic" getaway. Party revelers were running around in the parking lot outside our room. The heater in our room didn't work. Hotel staff couldn't fix it. No manager on duty. There weren't enough towels. Room decor dreary. The balcony must have been an afterthought because one had to take a rather dangerous step down onto it through the sliding door. No room service. TV remote didn't work well. At checkout, we were overcharged $40 on our credit card which we discovered a day later. The hotel did not correct the mistake until the following Monday. Will not stay here again.
I am, of course, disappointed that we failed to meet your expectations. I would like to take a moment to address your concerns:
Duraflame logs are convenient and burn cleaner than real wood. Due to the chemical composition, there is a distinctive odor. Either you, or another guest, spoke with me about alternatives.
I happy to report that my initial tests of a chemically-free and environmentally-safe alternative have been encouraging. I am currently negotiating with the vendor and, if all goes as expected, I will implement the change soon.
You also noted that guests nearby disturbed you. I apologize for the inconvenience. We understand that you are entitled to quiet and restful night.
My Front Desk Staff are trained to respond quickly to any noise complaints. Often, the problem can be resolved with one phone call. Most guests are apologetic and there are no further incidents.
I do also apologize that your heater was malfuctioning and that your TV remote did not work well. My maintenance department will continue to do preventative maintenance in order to minimize such inconveniences to our guests.
The good news is that since purchasing the hotel in February 2004, we have continued to upgrade our facility and standards.
For example, we now include 4 sets of towels in every room. Additional towels are always available on request. We also now offer room service delivery from 5 to 9:30 every evening and all our rooms have been remodeled.
Your final comment concerned being overcharged $40. If that is the case, I apologize that we took a week to correct the mistake.
However, some guests confuse a charge with an authorization. Like other hotels, our property management system automatically authorizes your credit card for an additional $40 in order to cover incidental charges.
At check out, the actual charge is sent to the bank. The bank will then release the additional authorized funds within several days.
In closing, I can assure you that we will continue to strive to provide our guests with the best value and the best service.
I can only hope that you will visit us again in the future and that we will exceed your expectations.

After Oracle, should MySQL users stay or go?
- 22 April, 2009 07:53
How do MySQL users feel about Oracle Corp.'s takeover of the open-source database through its acquisition of Sun Microsystems Inc.? Judging by Twitter, anxious -- and snarky.
"Man, Oracle buying Sun. Please don't wreck MySQL." "Soon MySQL will be called Oracle Lite and to download you must have a support contract costing a million $ per year." "Oracle now owns MySQL?! In related news, the Rebel Alliance has been acquired by Darth Vader for three wookies and a tantan. :("
Oracle and MySQL's many competitors in the database arena were only too eager to second why those fears will come to pass. Others argue that Oracle may prove to be a positive force for MySQL.
One of MySQL's prime attractions is that nearly all of its features are available for free, even those running production databases. Less than one in 1,000 MySQL users ever pay the company a dime, former MySQL CEO Marten Mickos famously admitted.
Sun tried last year to edge toward a dual distribution model, reserving certain key features for paying customers. It quickly backed down after an outcry.
Don't expect Oracle to be as abashed as Sun.
"Companies think 'price increases' and 'usage audits' when they think of Oracle," said Ed Boyajian, CEO of database vendor EnterpriseDB Inc.
Oracle will always have to at least nominally support the free community edition of MySQL, the one that has generated more than 100 million downloads.
But given Oracle's rapacious reputation, users who have invested their time mostly in MySQL should expect to be strongly pressured to open up their wallets.
"Oracle claims in their release they can wring more profit out of existing Sun assets, but history shows this will largely come out of users' pockets," said Roger Burkhardt, CEO of open-source database provider Ingres Corp.
Microsoft Corp., whose SQL Server competes fiercely with both Oracle and MySQL, tried to be subtle while sounding the same alarm.
"Customers should ask themselves if this will add more complexity and cost to their environments at a time when the industry is asking for more clarity and value," said Neil Charney, general manager for application platform and developer tools at Microsoft.
Oracle could achieve this through several tactics done in concert. First, it could steer MySQL's development away from features such as scalable clustering, said John Newton, CTO of content management software vendor, Alfresco Software. That would be fine for Web developers, who make up the bulk of MySQL users today, but it would be bad news for would-be enterprise users, he said.

Japanese Scene Shaker in Shades of Red and Green

for item
$4.00 Plus shipping
This is a shaker with a scene from Japan in shades of red, green, teal, and pink. It rather large holes in the top and the cork is inside. It is not real well done, but would make a great decorator item. It measures 2.75 inches tall and 1.75 inches across the base. The holes are large enough to be a sugar shaker, or course pepper. I do not know the age or maker, it is unmarked, although a bit of wear to the paint it is in good condition, no chips, and no cracks.

In.. And first! :-)
So I decided to have a workout log here, might also post this on other forums (Where I have been mostly) but I figure I would have this here to let all the regular Bros know Im still alive and kicking! My current workout regime is HST, I am in the week of my 2nd progression. 15 reps for squats with 10 reps for everything else. Being on an oral cycle I will stay in this rep range while increasing the reps faster than the weight. I will increase the weight once a week, and increase the reps every workout so it'll go something. 225x10, 12, 15 then next week 235x10,12,15. Until my cycle ends then I will drop the reps to 5 and keep the weight increase to every other workout. I'll be back later tonight to post my lifts.

Another glasses-free 3D TV has surfaced—in Japan, of course. The BDL5231-3D2R (catchy, huh?) is a 52-inch HDTV that can do 3D without the glasses.
Of course, that kind of convenience is NOT free. I certainly didn't think it would be, but I also did not expect a price tag of $20,850. Yikes.
According to CrunchGear, that kind of cash will also get you a 60Hz refresh rate, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 700cd/m2 brightness, and an 8ms response time.
Right now, there's no word on whether Nissho plans to sell the BDL5231-3D2R in the U.S.

Choreoroam EU
- Details
- Published 08/Jul/2012
- Published on 08/Jul/2012
The European Platform of professional workers, dancers/choreographers and artists, Choreoroam EU, is coming to Zagreb 8-15th July. Through a research process it investigates choreographic challenges on the topic: what impression does choreography leave on the viewer? How to establish communication between vaious work methodologies that choreographers use?
The mentor and leader of the process of Choreoroam EU 2012 Zagreb is Ann van der Broek.
ChoreoRoam Europe is a EU platform of professional workers, dancers/choreographers and other artists such as writers, which aims to achieve a constructive dialogue within the profession, with the purpose of developing esential characteristics of artistic leadership skills. The project strenghtens the artists' mobility by encouraging dialogue between various cultures and within a wider social context, through a wide network of collaborants that spreads throughout Europe.
Choreoroam includes 12 professional cultural workers, 19 choreographers, 10 film/video artists, 10 workshop facilitators/pedagogists, 10 writers/scientists from Croatia, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands and Great Britain, as well as other European countries, who research ideas on functionality and role of dance and art. Young artists are helped to develop their own strategies towards a successful carreer in order to develop an audience for their own performances and achieve their own network of collaborators, to expand their field of action, which strenghtens the support for the European community outside performing arts.
The leading partner is Comune di Bassano del Grappa (IT), with Croatian Institute for Movement and dance. Partners are: Contemporary Dance Trust - The Place (UK), Dansateliers (NL), Pasoa 2 Platforma Coreografica Asociacion Cultural (ES).
Ann van der Broek (B/ NL)
After completing her dance education (June 1991) at the Rotterdamse Dansacademie (Rotterdam Dance Academy), Ann Van den Broek danced with the Elisa Monte Company (New York, 1990), Dansgroep Krisztina de Châtel (Amsterdam, 1991-1998), Galili Dance (Groningen, 1998) and Charleroi/Danses (Charleroi, 1998-2000).
In the ten years she worked as a dancer, she was always researching and developing her own dance idiom, and in December 2000 she decided to dedicate herself to developing her own choreographic work. Under the umbrella of vzw WArd/waRD (Antwerp, B), Korzo Productions (The Hague, NL) and Danswerkplaats Amsterdam she created a number of choreographies. At this moment she works independently from her own non-profit organizations WArd/waRD vzw ( Belgium ) and, from the end of 2008 established WArd/waRD foundation ( The Netherlands ) and has she specifically chosen a Dutch-Flemish structure.
The choreographiesthat Ann Van den Broek made the last years are a.o. FF+REW 60:00, E19 ( richting San José ), Co(te)lette, I SOLO MENT, We Solo Men, Ohm, The Co(te)lette Film, Q61, LIstEn & See (LIES), KAMEPA and Domestica.
Co(te)lette won the 'Zwaan' (Swan Award) for most impressive dance production in 2008. The Swan Award is the most prestigious Dutch dance prize.
Ann Van den Broek has also received the Mouson Award 2009/2010 for her works. The Mouson Award is initiated by the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt (Germany). She also won awards with The Co(te)telette Film during filmfestivals in Los Angeles (USA), Nicosia (CYP), Brussels (B) and San Francisco (USA).
Aside from her work as a choreographer, she is also a teacher and regularly invited to give training courses and workshops that focus on her vision on contemporary dance and her own style.
vzw WArd/waRD was founded in November 2000 in Antwerp to allow Ann Van den Broek to realize her choreographic work. Since then WArd/waRD has (co-)produced a number of productions. In 2008 a Dutch WArd/waRD (Stichting WArd/waRD) was founded too.
The meaning of 'ward', according to the dictionary, reads as follows: n. 1) the act of guarding; 2) the state of being under guard; 3) guardianship, being under control of a guardian; 4) a means of defense or protection; 5) a division of a jail or prison, or of a hospital; 6) a district or division of a city or town; vt. 1) to fend off, parry; 2) to keep watch over, guard, protect. In short, in relation to the organization, it is a place where it is safe to congregate and work.
Repeating the 'ward' in de name implies the duality that is always present in the work of Ann Van den Broek. The title is the key to the character of the organization; there is not just one 'ward', but there is another: a mirror image, a darker side, a conscience, a sparring partner.
In this context and atmosphere, the organization tries to be a creative and inspiring environment in which artists can develop and grow.

2014 Resolutions!
* Pass drivers test
* Save money for my own car
* Sign up for college
* Work out 3 days a week
* Work on better hygiene and how I present myself
* Take a dance class
* Get my second tattoo
Am I going crazy?!
This has happened DOZENS of times to me already.
I will watch a movie I haven't seen in months and I will see a post of it on my dashboard. For example a few days ago I watched "Finding Nemo" and saw a Dorry post the same day. Than TODAY I watch "Sucker Punch" for the second time and yet again I see a post on it just a few seconds ago. But I never see posts on these movies before?
Does this happen to anyone else?
My prayers have been answered!
I've been trying to find a decent job for a while now.
For the last couple of months I've been working at Burger King, and lets just say that even though the people are great, it is NOT helping my diet and exercise goals. I've been stressing out about riding the bus in the snow too so I have been looking for a new job
This week I got a new job!! First it is 10$ an hour, I will get 35 hours a week, weekends off, it's 20 minutes away from my house walking, AND the best part is that it has NOTHING to do with food. I'm going to be organizing ski equipment in a warehouse for shipments. So I get to exercise at work and get paid!!
So blessed, I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Now I can focus on my fitness goals and make some real $$$
It's been a week
I started being a vegetarian last Monday and it was a success. I didn't have any trouble with it. But I didn't lose any weight which isn't fun. I did only go to the gym once so I guess I need more of that. Well here is to another week. Wish me luck!
2 Hours at the Gym!
Finally made a trip up to my gym, and I'm going to make it a habit again.
It could just be me but after working out I just feel hot ;)
I know I'm going to feel it tomorrow but that is where yoga helps.
Hopefully I will see some change in the scale on Monday.
Fingers crossed
Weighed in yesterday
Not proud to say that I'm at my highest weight.. 174
Last year my highest was 161 and than I lost 15 pounds..
I gained it all back and more..
What is even more sad, my mom who is 53 weighs 147
I'm 20 years old and I am 1 point away from being obese in the BMI
On a good note though, I don't feel like I'm big, I actually love my body more than I did at 161 and I feel like that is an accomplishment.
However that is no excuse on not to get healthy..
Time to Focus on ME :)
I recently broke up with my boyfriend a little bit ago.. We were together for mostly 2 years. We went through a lot together but it was time for me to move on. I felt like I wasn't getting the most out of the relationship and things weren't getting any better. I love him and he will always be in my life.. but it's nice to say I am taking a break on boys. I'm excited to be single, not worrying about a boyfriend or having to impress a boy.. I get to make some time for myself and just focus on things that are important to me.
Once I get my shit together, it would be nice to have a NEW boy and not all my ex's that want to get to back together with me.. "Been there, Done That"
Going Vegetarian!
I have done it before, for 2 years in high school.. I have been eating meat for a few years now. Today I am convinced to go back vegetarian. When I was a vegetarian I felt like I had something to fight for. It made me feel like I'm doing something to help the world. I love animals so much and feel like I need to help them. I want to become healthier, feel better, and stand up for a cause.
I'm sick of getting screwed over by people
why wont the right people be in my life?
I can tell I'm getting used to being hurt because it's easier to forget people now. I feel like I have to put up a wall now so that only the right people will be involved in my life. Are some people meant to be alone?
I put my two weeks notice In for work today!
What a relief! I've been wanting to quit for months! I've been there for 2 years and I'm ready for a new job. Now all my worrying is going to be trying to get new job before my two weeks is up! I'm in job hunting mode like crazy! Wish me luck!

Product Type: The Body Shop Soaps
Newest Review: ... I leave with a bar of their soap. Their Satsuma scented soap is a particularly good choice - but I guess over the years I've bought... more
Fruity orangy soap
The Body Shop Satsuma Soap
Member Name: FridaysArePurple
The Body Shop Satsuma Soap
Date: 11/03/13
Advantages: Pretty colour, nice shape and nice smell of oranges
Disadvantages: Quite a string smell which took me a little while to get used to
I ordered some Christmas presents off the Body Shop website last Christmas and I was pleased to find a £3 gift card packed in with my order which could be spent in store. I had never bought anything for myself from the Body Shop before so the next time I saw one, I popped in to see what I could spend it on. I didn't fancy having money off a more expensive item, I wanted to get something for £3 or less so I found myself drawn to a basket full of various different coloured bars of soap which were £2 each.
There were quite a few different scents available including fruity ones such as strawberry, satsuma, lemon, grapefruit, mango and coconut, as well as a couple of slightly odd ones called chocomania and olive which I decided to steer clear of! I chose the satsuma one which is a nice, bright, clear orange colour, as you would expect.
It may sound strange to say but I really like the shape of this soap! It is curved in a way that is nice and comfortable to hold. It is really easy to turn over in your hands and it feels really nice and smooth when doing so (none of this exfoliating nonsense full off seeds and pebbles and goodness knows what else!)
At first, when taking the soap out of the packet I was a bit overwhelmed by the strength of the smell and I was worried it was too fragranced for me to get along well with. It does indeed have a strong orange smell (satsuma, apparently, if we are going to be technical but who can honestly small the difference between the two anyway?). I am pleased to say that it grew on me and I now really like using this soap. The smell lingers on your hands for a little while after using but is obviously weaker and I think this is really pleasant and refreshing.
It soaps up nicely when being used but still stays nice and solid. It doesn't seem to get soggy or leave orange mush on the sink which is a bonus! Some bars of coloured soap are terrible for this. Conversely, it doesn't dry out or crack either, it just sits there looking lush and orange, waiting for its next use!
I personally feel that at £2 this soap will go much further (and is more pleasant to use) than most liquid soaps which cost the same price. When my present bar of soap runs out, I would happily go back to the Body Shop and buy this product again therefore it gets 5 stars from me!

- Dave, Send your images to my email address AT dot org - if you wish. I see that I cannot even put a real email address in here.Nov 18, 2009View SourceDave,
Send your images to my email address <mycallsign> AT <mycallsign> dot org - if you wish. I see that I cannot even put a real email address in here.
Something fundamental is slipping down between the cracks in the floor boards here.
Yes, one PC to tell the time, one PC to run Faros. I personally will be trying to get it all to work on ONE PC. Experiments will tell if its feasible.
One cannot isolate anything from the PC Clock on a PC - its fundamental to how the PC works. But we can ignore it for the purposes of telling time.
The PC clock is ticking all the time, Windows XP uses it to schedule software tasks to accomplish lots of things - its own operation, user programs - but it does not have to be related to the real/actual time of day - and we don't have to use it for our purposes. The "tick" in the PC clock is not good enough.
Say you are standing in an open paddock - wearing a wrist watch. I say to you: "Dave, It's exactly 9am, keep time by counting your heart beat silently to yourself - no looking at your wrist watch". Your wrist watch may or may not be keeping wonderful time, and you are keeping great time, you can detect every beat in your pulse. After an hour I come back and say "Dave, what is the time from your memory - in 'heart beats'?" You will tell me and I will calculate the "wall clock time" by some maths involving your resting heart rate of say 70 beats per minute. I will then ask "What is the time on your wrist watch?" I am sure you will agree the times will be different - but both perfectly reasonable measures of time - just more or less accurate. Note that they are both in the one "system", you, standing in an open field, but the two measures of time are unrelated to each other. I wonder which I would believe was the BEST indicator of the actual time.
One can only implement algorithms in software that limit or minimize the effects of a slow/bad/fast PC clock. So careful programming is what it is about - the program is scheduled by the PC clock, but its not relevant to our purpose of keeping time with a "synthetic clock" - one implemented in software rather than electronic chips or brass cogs.
So just like you, with one hand on your other wrist feeling your pulse, in the open paddock, we very carefully write some code that detects the pulse on the carrier detect pin of the serial port and "counts the beats". But now, rather than rely on your variable heart rate, we rely on a very precise pulse from a GPS chip. We have a precise "tick", once per second, for our "synthetic" clock, and once told what the actual time is, we can continue to keep time for ever.
If we compare our "synthetic time" to the hardwar clock on the PC, who knows what the difference will be.
So the industrial GPS is just the "tick" in the "synthetic" clock. We need the NTP software to determine the time, probably from the Internet, but once we know it, we can keep perfect time, almost for ever.
Now that's the limit of my knowledge for the minute. I need to find out how we get perfect time in the first place, so that, with our perfect "tick" from the GPS, we will know perfect time for ever.

Great to hear from you. I much appreciate the views of someone with your
You are correct, I think the "interesting characteristics" of my
wireless broadband link is fundamentally where the problem lies. There
are significant differences in the two directions in terms of delay,
particularly as my link goes through a repeater before hitting the phone
cell and onto the wired network. Also, my link is used by others on this
local area network - I have at least 6 PCs using the link creating
congestion. All but two are mine - so I have some control over the
A college has a wired ADLS2+ Internet connection and has very good time
for Faros - no problems at all. Interestingly, his "delay correction" in
Faros is 10ms, mine is 60ms.
No use is made of the time on the local PC by the Faros software. The
beacons we are listening to, use a PPS, GPS based time reference. We
need to be close to the beacon time, so we can know from which direction
the signal came - the short way around the earth, or the long way around
- and not too far off, or we miss the beacon completely. Exactly how
accurate we need to be is difficult to work out as its a factor of many
things including delays in the PC, the radio, the RF propagation, the
beacons themselves. Faros has a "delay correction" to compensate for the
actual delay we experience in the PC and other components. Most
importantly we need stable time, and then use the "delay correction" in
Faros to compensate for any offset. That way all the differences in the
observation of the signal are due to the RF paths, and we can do RF
propagation studies with the data.
I'm not sure what "command" you used. Here is my output for one my NTP
servers - on the same PC as Faros - for the command "peers", a few
minutes ago.

The above is the result of several weeks of experimentation with several
lists of servers. I no longer use this local server, or several others,
with Faros. Faros goes to the server list directly - I get a much better
result from Faros going directly to the Internet servers rather than
having the local servers included.
When I included the local servers in the list of servers for Faros, I
finished up with Faros giving too high a preference to the local servers
- small symmetric delay and low dispersion - and "faros time" became a
straight line following the offset of the local server(s) - a straight
line with accumulative error as high as 50ms every 15 minutes, which
then "corrected", sending Faros off in another direction. This sent the
beacon observations on a roller coaster ride up and down for which the
"delay correction" in "Faros" was unable to compensate.
My conclusion was that I needed more "randomness" in the time
observations made by Faros - to avoid skew in the input to its Kalman
filter - that is more randomness in the "delay", and offset, so Faros
would not weight one server over another, allow the Faros Kalman filter
to do its job, better.
This has proved correct, as I now have stable time and acceptable
observations from Faros. Given I seem to be able to implement a GPS
based solution, the same as the beacons, for around $100 US, and given
this is my hobby, I choose to attempt the best result I can get - a PPS
GPS time reference.
But, fundamentally, I am happy with the NTP time service from the
Internet - so far, touch wood!
