I still remember the time I played through the first Deus Ex. At the time, I had no idea that it was a game that changed the entire course of gaming history, and to this day, it remains my fav.
So when I heard about Human Revolution, I'll admit, I was apprehensive. It's not easy, making a sequel to such an highly acclaimed game, but Square Enix proved everyone wrong..:)

No wonder the game is out of stock on flipkart right now. This is the only futuristic RPG of its kind that I have played and I am not disappointed AT ALL.
It neatly combines all the elements of stealth, combat, social and RPG-elements into one concentrated experience of entertainment. The storyline of the game was thrilling and complex. Moreover, the game also poses some of the most commonly debated ethical dilemma's on technology, God, conspiracy theories etc.
I was so sad the game got over.
Deus Ex has always been my favorite ARPG/FPS hybrid video game series. So when I saw all the previews and trailers for Human Revolution, I knew this game would come very close to the original (one of the best games ever made) and well... it did it's best.
Although this game is not entirely close to the original, it is still quite immerse and has perks of its own. The game supports up to DirectX11 and can be displayed in stereoscopic 3D with certain system setups. The graphics are extremely sharp, although there are other modern games with slightly better graphics. Gameplay is smooth and ov... (Expand)

About the game,
1) The game is a combination of third person, first person and role-playing game-play.
Normally first-person, third person when you are moving or shooting from cover, and story leaves you with the decisions on what to say and do.
2) The camera angles and presentation of the story during cut-scenes is gripping and movie-like. You feel like you are in a m... (Expand)

"This is Team Cindy, Portland Race for the Cure, September 2012. We had two "late adds" that were too late to get cool shirts, but we wanted them in the photo just the same. I just conquered breast cancer, and walked for the first time as a survivor. It was an amazing experience. We had many compliments about our shirts. We'll be using CustomInk for next year's shirts, for sure!"

Asalaam o alaikum, Marijuana is unlawful in Islam due to its mind-altering effects, the foremost of which is its distracting one from the remembrance of Allah and the prayer. Like alcohol, it weakens one's senses and one's ability to think, and it is also addicitve.
As for medical use of marijuana, this would return to the criteria of using an unlawful substance for medical treatment (tadawi bil-haram), which is permissible under the following conditions:
(a) A qualified physician that is a pious Muslim informs the patient that the medicine can effectively treat the illness, based on high likelihood or near certainty. If no such Muslim is in one's locality, then a qualified physician that appreciates the importance of the Sacred Law for Muslims is sufficient.
(b) No alternative medicine that is lawful is available or sufficiently effective;
(c) It is used only in accordance with the need, and no more. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
It is worth mentioning that one may want to consider some form of alternative medicine, such as Tibb-e-Nabawi ~Prophetic medicine.
O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.
Al-Maeda, Chapter 5, Verse 90

There's plenty of berry and currant fruit as well as oak, but it's accompanied by tobacco and herbs that give the wine an earthiness. What the wine lacks in dazzle it more than makes up for in elegance and subtlety. Should develop well for at least a decade."

The sense of energy and drive are pure 2010. Today, the 2010 is super-young, but it is immensely promising. I can't wait to taste this in another year, but I imagine it will still be an infant at age ten. A tiny splash of Cabernet Franc adds complexity to the Cabernet Sauvignon."

That Hideous Strength climbs one of the more prominent pitches on the Book�it�s curious that it was left alone for all these years.
That Hideous Strength connects Perelandra to Fat City, following the obvious, prominent corner/overhang all the way to the roof on Fat City. See photo for exact location.
Bring a set of wires (a few extras in the small sizes are handy for pitch 1 on Perelandra and for the crux pitch) and microcams to #2 Camalot, with doubles in the #0.1 through #1 Camalot (more than you need, but may as well come prepared). We ended up using three #0.75 Camalots (one for the belay at the base of the crux pitch). Obviously you may need additional gear for the line you choose to top out. Several long slings are recommended for the top of the crux pitch.

The Saints' miracle season has a final chapter. They will play in their first Super Bowl, facing off against the Colts, who are going for their second title in four years. Peyton Manning and Drew Brees face off in an epic quarterback battle, perhaps the best QB showdown in the big game since John Elway and Brett Favre in Super Bowl XXXII.
That game was a classic, and this one promises to be an offensive thriller as well. Manning took over in the second half of the AFC title game, beating a previously dominant Jets defense, and he has been the league's most consistent quarterback. Brees was not at his best in the overtime victory in the NFC championship game, but he threw three TD passes and led the way for New Orleans' biggest party perhaps in years.
Both teams have faced the pressure of being the front-runner this season. The Colts started with 14 consecutive wins, and the Saints opened 13-0. Although success is relatively new for the Saints as a franchise, many players were with the 2006 club that almost faced the Colts in Super Bowl XLI, also in Miami.
Offense is the best side for both teams, but they each have playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. The Colts have a fast-flowing, attacking defense that has as much speed as any unit in the NFL. And the Saints are a turnover-forcing group that can turn a game on a dime with a big play.
Some believe Manning had his finest season as a pro. Although he was rattled early against the Jets, he got into a rhythm at the end of the first half running the two-minute drill, which he is the best in the NFL at orchestrating. The Saints are going to have to do their best to not only limit Manning's possessions but also defend the two-minute offense.
Manning's fine season came despite having to adjust to new playmakers. WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark remain, but the development of WRs Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie has been huge. Manning makes them better, of course, but they have played with confidence, body control and maturity.
Although the Saints have had some success beating very good quarterbacks (Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner and Favre), none of those games was played on the road. They won't have the benefit of the Superdome crowd — which played a role in the Saints' NFC title win — as a 12th defender.
They'll have to try to throw off Manning's timing in other ways, which isn't easy. Expect Gregg Williams to employ a similar game plan to what he rolled out for Favre. The Saints appeared willing to take a few penalties to establish a physical tone, hitting Favre as often as they could. Although Manning is in better physical condition, his rhythm can get thrown off by getting hit often in games, like he was in the first half of the Jets game.
Manning was sacked only 10 times in the regular season, an unreal total for 571 pass attempts, though that number rose to four sacks on 83 pass attempts in the postseason. The Jets hit Manning three times early on, sacking him twice, but they failed to sustain that pressure. It will be difficult for the Saints to keep the same kind of pace defensively for 60 minutes and they will have to mix pressure and coverage, zone and man defense.
Wayne, one of the league's more precise route runners, is the top intermediate and deep threat and has exceptional hands. After tweaking his bothersome right knee in practice Friday, Wayne appears ready to go and likely will draw Saints CB Jabari Greer, who did a nice job when he was matched up with Vikings WR Sidney Rice. Greer is an underrated coverage man, and he can play tough and physical or with finesse. He's especially good in man defense. But covering Collie and Garcon could be tougher than expected. The Vikings had success picking on Saints CBs Randall Gay and Tracy Porter, who both had their ups and downs in the game.
Collie and Garcon combined for 18 receptions for 274 yards and two TDs against the Jets and had several big catches with Wayne stifled. Garcon has become the team's home-run hitter. The Jets chose to pressure, and the young receivers burned them in single coverage. It's something the Saints must note.
Clark also poses problems of his own. Ask a linebacker to cover him, and he can stretch the seam. Put a corner on him, and the physical edge goes to Clark. Look for Saints SS Roman Harper, who often covers good receiving tight ends, to see a lot of Clark.
The running game often is an afterthought for the Colts, but it can be effective. Manning goes to the line with two pass plays and one run and isn't afraid to check to a running play if the defense clearly is playing coverage and he likes what he sees. Williams used a number of disguised coverages against Favre, checking out of what they showed, so there should be a nice cat-and-mouse game there.
If the Colts have success running the ball with Joseph Addai and Donald Brown, it could spell trouble for the Saints. They had difficulty tackling Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, who bounced off contact, though neither Addai nor Brown shares Peterson's strength or physicality. They mainly have success with the inside and outside zone series and also with their well-run stretch play.
The Colts' offensive line is a no-name group but an effective one. They tandem-block well and are smart and efficient. The Saints' front four on defense is quick off the ball and can disrupt blocking schemes. DE Will Smith can bend the edge or set it against the run. DT Sedrick Ellis can collapse the pocket, DT Remi Ayodele is a high-motor plugger, and Anthony Hargrove sees a lot of time as the third tackle on passing downs.
The Colts' bend-but-don't-break cover-2 zone, which is designed to limit big plays, will force the Saints to be patient if it's well executed. New Orleans' offense was the league's most potent in '09, and the balance between the passing and running games has made it difficult to defend. Few defenses have been able to stop New Orleans' offense for a full game.
The Saints line the field with playmakers on every down, and head coach Sean Payton, who makes the play calls, utilizes his weapons as well as any offensive guru. Brees is an efficient, smart leader, much like Manning, and he generally avoids mistakes. The Colts gave up some big plays through the air in the first half vs. the Jets, and there's no doubt CBs Kelvin Hayden and Jerraud Powers (left foot; questionable after limited participation in practice Friday) will be targeted by Payton. Brees will make them pay if they don't get those problems corrected. In the red zone, Indy has to be aware of WR Marques Colston, who uses his good size to make plays on jump balls in the corner of the endzone. If Powers is unable to play, rookie Jacob Lacey would be a capable replacement, as he proved during the regular season.
Indianapolis can play nickel and dime in an effort to stop Brees, but that will open it up for RBs Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Mike Bell to find holes and keep the chains moving, and it also may give Brees an opportunity to hit some of his talented receivers underneath. Bush is particularly adept at creating in space and turning what looks to be a short gain into a much longer one. In order to disrupt the Saints' timing, the Colts are going to need to get pressure on Brees.
The Colts' defensive front seven is made up of mostly smaller, swift players. Indianapolis doesn't blitz much, and it will rely on its front four to get a push. If Brees is getting hit often and doesn't have time to throw downfield, the Saints' offense could sputter, as it did in the second half against the Vikings.
A key matchup, then, will be OLT Jermon Bushrod against DRE Dwight Freeney. Bushrod, a first-year starter, has struggled at times, although he was successful in stopping Jared Allen from sacking Brees in the NFC championship game. Payton will have to help Bushrod with a tight end or a chipping back against Freeney — who may have more moves in his repertoire than any other pass rusher in the league. However, an ankle injury suffered in the AFC title game kept Freeney from practicing all week and threatens to limit his effectiveness, or possibly even prevent him from playing altogether. If the latter should happen, Raheem Brock would likely replace Freeney, providing a stout run stopper but a less effective pass rusher than Freeney. DLE Robert Mathis also will challenge ORT Jon Stinchcomb, so it's likely that the Saints at times will sacrifice using TEs Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas as receivers in order to protect Brees.
In order to wear down the Colts' D-line, the Saints could focus on running between the tackles. The Saints' O-line, which features three Pro Bowlers, will exploit their size advantage, and New Orleans could have success pushing back the pile on the right side, where ORG Jahri Evans and Stinchcomb form an imposing tandem. Brees and the passing game have often opened things up for the rushing attack, but the Saints may take an opposite approach to loosen up the Colts' zone and set up play-action.
The Colts' linebackers are fast, smart and make plays. MLB Gary Brackett, the team's defensive leader, is playing at a Pro Bowl level, and WLB Clint Session is very active.
The Colts are far more experienced at placekicker than the Saints, although New Orleans' Garrett Hartley didn't allow inexperience to stop him from coming through vs. the Vikings. Hartley, who has made 24 of his 26 career field-goal attempts, including the playoffs, doesn't have great range, but he shook off doubts about his ability to deliver in the clutch by making the game-winning 40-yard kick in overtime in the NFC title game. Colts PK Matt Stover is in his 20th season. He doesn't have great leg strength, but he has shored up the position since taking over for the injured Adam Vinatieri.
A pair of rookies — the Saints' Thomas Morstead and the Colts' Pat McAfee — punt and handle kickoffs for their teams. Morstead doesn't have a booming leg, and Manning could have some short fields if the Saints have to punt from deep in their own territory. McAfee has been excellent for the most part.
When it comes to the return game, the Saints have a clear edge. Bush has the potential to break a big punt return with every opportunity, but he made a huge mistake against the Vikings by muffing a punt inside the Saints' 10-yard line late in the first half. KR Courtney Roby, while not as dynamic as Bush, also has big-play ability, as he showed against Minnesota with a 61-yard return. Indianapolis' return units are average at best. KR Chad Simpson and PR T.J. Rushing are not nearly as menacing.
1. Stopping Manning on third downs
The Saints struggled against the Vikings, allowing them to convert 7-of-12 third-down attempts in the NFC title game. For the season, they ranked 14th on third downs, and the Colts converted more than 49 percent of their attempts. Peyton Manning is an expert at putting his team in a good position on first and second downs, giving himself good options on third downs and putting the "D" in a tough spot. Gregg Williams has to decide at what distance to go and time of the game he'd like to pressure and when he'd like to play coverage.
2. Brees vs. Colts' secondary
Drew Brees hasn't been intercepted in 63 postseason passes, and he threw only 11 in 514 regular-season attempts. He's a 70 percent passer who has had some success against cover-2 and Tampa-2 systems this season. But the Vikings did a really good job containing Brees, despite his three TD passes, so you can expect the Colts to take a page from Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier's script in the Super Bowl. The Colts gave up some deep plays with coverage breakdowns against the Jets but have been a solid group this season despite their youth.
3. Controlling the ball
Neither offense is considered a ball-control unit, though the Saints ranked 11th in time of possession. The team that has the ball the most likely will have a major edge. Give Peyton Manning 12 possessions, and he usually wins. The Saints are the better running team of the two, able to pound it with Pierre Thomas, slice it with Reggie Bush and run it in short-yardage situations with either Lynell Hamilton (ankle; questionable) or Mike Bell. The team that has some success with the running and short passing game has a chance to play defense by keeping the opposing offense off the field.
4. Greer vs. Wayne
Reggie Wayne was held down by Jets CB Darrelle Revis somewhat in the AFC title game, but he will be featured more in this one, assuming his bothersome right knee doesn't act up. Jabari Greer, who helped hold Sidney Rice to four catches in the NFC title game, has some of Revis' physical nature and can run, too. He's a man-cover corner who has come up big for the team, but Wayne might be his toughest assignment in terms of being precise and assignment-sound. There might not be a more polished wideout in the game, and you know Peyton Manning would like to feed his go-to guy, who scored a TD in SB XLI.
5. Shock factor
Saints TE Jeremy Shockey was limited to one catch for nine yards vs. the Vikings, hampered by a knee injury that left his availability limited for the game. By the end, it was David Thomas out there more than Shockey. But with two weeks' rest, Shockey's knee should be healthy. You know how much this game means to him, given that he missed the Giants' Super Bowl title two years ago with an injury. He is, in some ways, the X-factor of the Saints' offense, and good receiving tight ends can be a thorn in the side of cover-2 defenses such as the Colts' system.

Reviews for
Witch of Blackbird Pond
AudioFile Reviews 2003 February/March
Into the somber, hard, emotionally deadened world of the American Puritans drops Kit--a charming, vibrant young woman from the Caribbean. Narrator Mary Beth Hurt sets the tone from the beginning, emphasizing Kit's enthusiasm, intelligence, and independent nature. Her clipped speech and sometimes breathy delivery draw a vivid picture of this lively young woman, forced to tamp down her spirit to fit into this negative, overbearing society. Hurt creates individual and clearly recognizable voices for all the characters, from Hannah's gentle, kind spirit to Matthew's solid but intimidating presence; and she skillfully develops Prudence from an obedient, fearful child without hope to a bright, caring, and courageous young girl. Speare's classic adapts well to audio, and Hurt gives it life, and hope. W.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

Ordered this hat after seeing several of my friends with this beanie. I'm from the east and had no problem with it sitting on the top of my head a bit, but the Tahoe stylists insisted that I stretch it out so it had a slouched look. Get it wet, stretch it a bit and wear with and it breaks in relatively quickly. Really soft and comfy. Would recomend for wearing around the house, town, apre ski. Not warm enough for me thought to wear skiing.Pros: Great design, Ease of use, Great value

The Story of the Mason Jar Candles
Today, I'm happy to report my hand-poured mason jar soy candles are in stock and ready to ship! The truck just delivered them and my studio is filled with such lovely pumpkin spice & apple aromas. All I need is a cozy sweater and Pumpkin Spiced Latte and I will be set, right?
Allow me to share you a journey of these sweet little candles…
Over a year and a half ago, I sat in the room at the very first Stationery Academy and shared some of the big dreams I had for myself to the group. They were things I hadn't said aloud before, let alone put on paper.
It makes me smile to think of the powerful results that have come from this activity. I even encourage this same action – the naming of your biggest dreams and goals – to the new friends I meet at AH Inspired. I encourage them post them on their blog and put them out there into the universe. As they say… "if you can name it, you can claim it!"
So, that afternoon in Pensacola, I listed off some various things – some things I still have in my heart to want and work toward – but randomly, out of nowhere, I said,
"I want to make a candle. An "Amber Housley" candle. It will be cute and southern and homemade and come in a cute mason jar."
Now developing a candle isn't usually on someone's big dreams list, but it was on mine. And finally this summer, I set about to make it happen.
Allow me to introduce you to the AH soy candle holiday collection that is: cute, southern, homemade and of course, packaged in a cute mason jar:
Here are some of the fabulous features of these candles.
These darling half-pint 8 ounce mason jar candles are replicas of good old fashioned canning jars with the words "mason" engraved in the glass.
- made from 100% soybean wax
- does not emit toxins while burning
- emits an incredibly small amount of soot
- biodegradable
- water-soluble
- burns cooler and slower
- renewable resource
- supports US farmers and our own economic growth
Burn time is 55-65 hours.
The maximum recommended burn time is 4 hours per burn.
The holiday soy candle collection is available now in the Sweet Tea & Lemonade Pop-Up Shop. There is a set of each style that would make a wonderful gift this season! How cute would it be to package them up as a gift for a friend in in an antique wire basket with burlap and fall leaves or pinecones like I did for this picture?!
I can't wait for you to enjoy these as much as I have enjoyed creating them!
Love these, Amber! They'd make such precious wedding favors! xo

The included breakfast was good. Free internet was also appreciated.
It is really a 'Motel' as opposed to the advertised 'Hotel'. The price charged was not in line with the property which I would rate as standard at best.When we arrived (late in the evening) we were told the hotel was completely sold out and they didn't have a room for us. It turned out they did have a room but it was also revealed that there is a recurring 'over-booking' problem with their system. It sounded like this happens on a regular basis.We didn't feel we received good value for the price paid, especially when compared to properties we stayed at during our trip.

The room was clean. The cable TV had a good selection of family friendly channels. We were supplied with a list of local restraunts.
It is an older facility that needs remodeling. The breakfast served seemed less than adequate for the price paid. It would have been nice to have a breakfast meat on the menu. Having to pay for ice seemed just wrong.
Good location, close to the interstate,and just a few minutes from downtown. We enjoyed the breakfast that was included in the price...good variety, nice large area, and helpful staff in the hospitality room. The room was quiet...even on the ground floor.

They say they will clean the room once a week. They don't do it that often or that well. We stayed 18 days and had made a deal on the room rate with the sales manager. She didn't stick by our agreement and charged full price. For the price you are paying it's much better to stay in a room that gets cleaned daily.

I was horribly misled by a previous review, which had led me to think this motel had been remodeled, etc., and would be a good value for my hard-earned money. Upon check-in, I did find the desk clerk to be efficient and friendly... Unfortunately, soon I opened the door to a claustrophobically-tiny, HORRIBLY FILTHY room. There was some sort of biological residue on the outside of the restroom wastebasket (no, I don't know what it was, but I do have pictures), and human hairs in several places. As I'd spent most of my first day enjoying my visit with family and did not return to this Petri dish of who-knows-what of a room, I did stay one night. Not saying I slept, as the bed was UNBELIEVABLY uncomfortable!! When I tried to change to a different--CLEAN--motel, I was told my money would NOT be refunded. I could change to a different room, if I wanted... NOT!!! Suffice it to say, if you value cleanliness at all, choose a different motel!!!

There were no restaurants in town! We had to buy an overpriced pizza at a bar next to the motel just to get dinner. Breakfast was pitiful.Stay in Sheridan. The drive you save in continuing north to Ranchester is not worth the motel. She tries hard, and she is very nice. The motel is very clean and a good value for the price but they need a decent restaurant. until there is one they need to lower the price and the star rating.

Director Jack O'Brien, set designer Douglas W. Schmidt, costume designer Jess Goldstein, and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer all made their company debuts this season when The Metropolitan Opera revived Giacomo Puccini's triple bill of one acts, Il Trittico, which premiered at The Met in 1918. This collaboration marks a decided shift at The Met toward a more theatrical design style, which served Puccini well in this evening of romance, betrayal, salvation, and comedy that takes place in three very different settings. Shown in select movie theatres as part of The Met's series of HD broadcasts, Il Trittico also premieres on PBS stations this month.
A barge on the Seine in Paris is the central design element for Il Tabarro (The Cloak). The time period was moved up to September 1927, with the barge anchored beneath one of the famous Paris bridges, on a forced perspective set of factory façades. The light moves from afternoon through sunset to night. "The light of the factory windows comes from inside but looks as if it was reflecting off the building. It is a complete illusion," notes Eisenhauer. The color palette moves from the reds and oranges of sunset to an ominous deep green for night, accented by the streetlights on the bridge. "Our task was to blend the layers of the perspective on the set, which was so beautifully designed," Eisenhauer says. "The illusion of depth is so smooth color-wise."
Suor Angelica is set in a convent in Tuscany in 1938, with a large church façade upstage and arched colonnades on the sides. "Since we had made such strong color choices for Il Tabarro, we didn't want to use the same palette here, although the time also shifts from day to night. We went for a more romantic look, moving from sunny yellow to a blue sky with some purple," says Eisenhauer. Candles in niches on the church façade and a statue of Madonna and child lit about the doorway heighten the lighting at the end, when Sister Angelica has a miraculous vision. "The scene is a little mysterious; it is not realistic," notes Eisenhauer, pointing out that they used The Met's standard rep plot with the exception of renting one 6kW Arri HMI Fresnel for the miracle scene.
Italy 1959: The death of Buoso Donati brings his greedy relatives to his bedside to share in his wealth in Gianni Schicchi. Schmidt created a seedy bedroom in a period palazzo yet added modern touches such as a plastic portable TV. The coup de grace is when the entire room sinks down to reveal a second complete set with a balustrade overlooking a formal garden and backdrop of Florence. "This is some of the best perspective you can imagine," says Eisenhauer. "The garden is maybe one-third of the stage depth but looks like it goes on forever. The built-in perspective is very foreshortened." The sky in the backdrop was painted quite beautifully as well. "We didn't have to create that with light as we usually do," Eisenhauer notes. "We simply enhanced the colors with light."

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — In all the years she has been driving, Debby Furney never received a parking ticket — until a recent Friday afternoon after meeting friends for lunch at the Cabbage Road Eatery downtown on Meridian Street.
When Furney returned to her car — parked in the city's metered lot across the street — tucked under the windshield wiper was a ticket giving her a $10 fine. She was surprised to see it. And frustrated. So was another friend who also was cited.
"That's the first parking ticket I've ever had, and I'm 65," Furney said.
However, Furney admits she didn't put a quarter in the meter. Experience told her it would be frustrating.
In the past, her quarter disappeared into the slot and she received no time credit on the meter. The first few times it happened, she moved to another space, only to find that meter also was broken.
Eventually, Furney decided to stop throwing good money after bad and she quit feeding the meters.
"I've put a lot of quarters in those meters and they just haven't worked,"
And it wasn't a problem. After a leisurely lunch, Furney and her friends would return to their cars and drive away.
Furney's companion the other week, Durena Reed, shares her friend's frustration, calling the whole experience "just another aggravation for downtown Anderson."
Anderson Police Department Maj. Sean Richwine acknowledged the women must have been frustrated. He advised people who encounter balky parking meters to walk across Main Street to police headquarters and tell officers at the front desk about the problem.
He added that department officers are attempting to enforce parking ordinances more consistently, and sent a letter to downtown business owners advising them of new enforcement efforts.
Reed scoffed at walking a city block to complain. The better solution, she said, would be for the city to keep meters in good working order and enforce parking laws consistently.
Richwine said a possible fix is in the works.
Included in the Police Department's proposed budget for fiscal 2014 is an $18,200 line item to fund two part-time parking positions.
Anderson police have been responsible for downtown parking enforcement since 2004, Richwine said. The city used to have a parking authority to handle those duties and maintain the downtown garage at Meridian and 11th streets, but the jobs were eliminated in budget cuts.
And Anderson doesn't make much money from parking meters, either. In 2012, Richwine said, the city collected $7,145.36. So far this year, the city has collected $2,787.92.
Until those positions are approved, however, the duty of making sure Anderson's 50 parking meters work properly is the job of Jeff Delong, maintenance supervisor for the police department.
As he was checking the lot and collecting money last Monday, Delong found six broken meters facing Meridian Street.
The most common reason they stop working, he said, is that people insert nickels and dimes into the meters instead of the required quarters.
Those coins won't drop properly and, if enough of them collect, they jam the mechanism so that it's impossible to turn the meter knob. Unless someone notifies the police department that the meters aren't working, it might be several days or more before he swings by to check them.
"If a meter is broken, you've got to let someone know," Delong said.
Richwine said having staff to handle those duties regularly would ensure more reliable operation and better parking enforcement.
Claudette Bettencourt, who owns Your Way Cafe and Conscious Creations at 1019 Meridian St., said problems at the meter lot are well known among her customers.
"As a business person, I'm happy to give customers a quarter for coming into my two downtown stores. I think that whatever they (police) do should be consistent."
