Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by RodM Business Trip to Taif My most recent business trip took me back to the lovely city of Taif where I was greeted by an Intercontinental car at the airport and to my surprise, water and a newspaper for the ride to the hotel property. Each time that I have used the Intercontinental in Taif, my visit has always been outstanding and the staff is always friendly and courteous. This was indeed my first time staying with them as a Royal Ambassador and they really took care of me. I was personally escorted to my room where there was a gorgeous fruit basket, Arabic Coffee, Dates, Water, Nuts, Candy and assorted drinks place in the living room of my upgraded suite. Overall, it was a great stay and I look forward to my next trip to Taif. 22 November 2013

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Harry111 average at best. I stayed at this hotel for 3 consecutive weeks, the best way to describe this hotel is less than average. This hotel is just a place to sleep, dont expect anything else and you may be happier than me. 21 May 2013
Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Harry111 Less than average I came to Taif for business and decided to stay at this hotel, if you have no expectations, and are ok with mediocre service and accomodations then you may like it. The hotel is old, restaurant is not very good, staff isnt very knowledgeable. I wont return or recommend this hotel. 21 May 2013
Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Harry111 Not so good. If visiting this hotel dont expect much, the hotel staff isnt very helpful. The property itself is very old, and it shows. The equipment in the gym is rusted, old, and not in good condition. The restaurant has buffet which was ok but pricy, the rest of the time the food was below average. In terms of staff helpfulness, they arent willing to assist and constantly make mistakes. Once you complain, nothing gets resolved and it seems the manager is never available for you to complain. Overall not a very good visit, I wont stay at this location again. The name says intercontinental, but in reality it should be called something else. Not a 5 star hotel, if you come here expect a 2 or 3 star hotel. 20 May 2013
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Alaa11 Great times in TAIF I enjoyed my stay in the hotel despite that I was in business trip not comfort, but the hotel made it happen. 14 May 2013
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Robrow Real home from home My stays at this hotel can be anything up to 1 month in duration so as an IHG Ambassador it makes a big difference when the friendly staff automatically upgrade me to a suite. Currently the hotel is undergoing a big renovation (most of 2013) which has reduced the number of car park spaces to a fraction, this can mean there are no spaces available particularly if an event is being held in the hotel. Would be nice as an Ambassador to have at least one reserved parking space. Road at front of hotel was flooded due some unseasonal wet weather. Overall a very pleasant stay helped by staff who appreciate my specific requirements. 13 May 2013
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Alaa11 Great breakfast I recommend to renew the furniture, & the fitness equipments are not that updated 22 April 2013
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Robrow Nice upgrade to suite as Platinum Ambassador I stayed for an extended period of 26 nights so the upgrade to a suite was most welcome and helped a great deal while away from home for such a long period of time. The staff were very helpful and dealt with any concerns I had promptly. 22 April 2013

To the editor:
I attended several of the Planning Board hearings on the proposed development of Storey Avenue. Tropic Star's plans are preposterous. The pharmacy will have approximately 71 parking spaces. Additionally, the gas station/convenience store will have more parking, so essentially the corner of Low Street and Storey Avenue will be a giant parking lot with cars coming and going from everywhere. How is that for the "Gateway to our City?" And, as we are aware, many drivers talk or text on their phones while driving, taking their attention away from what they are doing and that is "driving." How do we stay safe under these dangerous conditions?
These proposed businesses will operate 24 hours a day, which means more traffic lights, illuminated signs and lighting from the businesses themselves. We may as well be on Times Square.
It is in the best interest of our community for the Planning Board to reject this proposed development. Please attend the hearing on Wednesday.

This is my first longer article for InfoQ (rather than being a news item), and it's intended to be a comprehensive backgrounder on Docker: 'an overview of the Docker journey so far and where it is headed along with its growing ecosystem of tools for orchestration, composition and scaling. This article provides both a business and a technical point of view on Docker and separates the hype from the reality.'

I got my Lenovo X230 when I started with CohesiveFT almost 18 months ago. I've generally been very happy with it, but the cracks are starting to show – literally:
Not as robust
I've had a succession of ThinkPads – T20[1], T41, X60T, X201T, a loaner X220 from the good people at Bromium, and now my X230. They've all been pretty indestructible apart from the X230. The screen has always felt a bit flimsy, but now other bits are falling off it. Earlier in the week the ThinkPad logo on the wrist rest came off:
and now I see that the indicator cover for the top LEDs has gone missing:
I don't think I've been treating this one any harder than other ThinkPads I've owned, so I can only conclude that build quality is being compromised. I'd also note that my other Thinkpads have generally done 3 years of service before being retired, meaning that this one should only be half way through its journey. It also needs a new battery, as endurance has fallen from 5hrs to just over an hour – at least the battery is replaceable (and not too expensive).
The reason I got it in the first place
I chose the X230 because it can take 16GB RAM (and because I know from experience that 8GB isn't enough for my typical usage). The newer X240 only takes 8GB RAM, which seems to me a significant step back.
I'll soldier on for the time being
As there really aren't any great alternatives. I quite liked the Dell XPS13 that I got on loan a little while ago, but that also tops out at 8GB RAM. At a push I might go for a 13″ MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM, but what I really want is an 11″ (or better still 12″) MacBook Air with 16GB RAM (and a 1TB SSD[2]). My fingers are crossed that after this year's Intel Developer Forum we see some serious machines with lots of RAM and storage in a lightweight and robust package (and not more gimmicky convertible tablety things).
[1] My T20 survived an incident where a Newark taxi driver slammed the trunk down on my bag carving a gouge into the lid of the laptop. I'm pretty sure that most lesser machines would have been smashed to bits by that. My T20 came through with a scar, but it had no effect on how I used it, and it delivered a few more years of reliable service.
[2] I recently swapped out the Samsung 840 500GB SSD that I put in when I got the X230 for a Samsung 840 evo 1TB mSATA SSD. The process was pretty painless as I was able to have both drives in the laptop at once. Having completed the migration I moved the new SSD to an mSATA to SATA adaptor, as the mSATA port on the X230 is only SATA2, so I was missing the full (and impressive) speed of the newer drive.

Fun with Flocker
Before writing my InfoQ story about Flocker I ran through my now usual process of getting my 3 tier demo[1] working on it (in addition to running through the getting started guide[2]).
What I found is that Flocker doesn't yet support multi container apps, but then it is only at release 0.1 (and proper multi container support if promised for 0.2). It was however possible to get things working with a little hacking.
Flocker is made for running stateful apps, so getting MySQL working was pretty straightforward. I created the following files:
"version": 1 "nodes": "172.16.255.250": ["mysql-volume-example"] "172.16.255.251": []
"version": 1 "applications": "mysql-volume-example": "image": "cpswan/todomvc.mysql" "ports": - "internal": 3306 "external": 3306 "volume": # The location within the container where the data # volume will be mounted: "mountpoint": "/var/lib/mysql"
To get it fired up I then ran:
$ flocker-deploy mysql-deployment.yml mysql-application.yml
After something of a wait for my container image to be pulled from Docker Hub I had a running database that I could connect to with the mysql client. I then created an alternative deployment file and moved the database to another host:
"version": 1 "nodes": "172.16.255.250": [] "172.16.255.251": ["mysql-volume-example"]
$ flocker-deploy mysql-deployment-moved.yml mysql-application.yml
Some further testing confirmed that the database was working. I could even connect to the other VM and use the Flocker proxy to get through to my container.
App and Web Servers
I used ssh to connect to the Flocker VM running the database and attached the app and web servers in the usual way:
$ docker run -dp 4567:4567 --name todomvc_app \ --link mysql-volume-example:db cpswan/todomvc.sinatra $ docker run -dp 443:443 --name todomvc_ssl \ --link todomvc_app:app cpswan/todomvc.ssl
A quick test with a web browser attached through and SSH port forward confirmed that everything was working.
I then had a go at moving the database again, which got me a screen full of SQL errors. The app server could no longer connect to the container it had linked to, and the Flocker proxy wasn't helping.
Hacking the link
The app server is configured using environment variables that are populated by the Docker linking mechanism, so DB_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR gets set to something like 172.17.0.9:3306. Using a slightly different command line this can be set to use the local Flocker proxy rather than connecting directly to a container that might not stay there (after stopping and removing the todomvc_app container):
$ docker run -dp 4567:4567 --name todomvc_app \ -e "DB_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=172.16.255.250:3306" \ cpswan/todomvc.sinatra
With that done the app server was able to connect to the MySQL database, whichever VM it was running on.
[1] I've also put the demo onto Fig and Panamax.
[2] Luckily I already had a Linux machine with VirtualBox and Vagrant all set up after playing with Panamax over the weekend.

Flocker is a volume and container management system for Docker based on ZFS. It allows for stateful containers, such as databases, to be moved between virtual or physical hosts. This provides a capability that is analogous to the live migration features of some virtual machine hypervisors. Version 0.1 has been released by ClusterHQ as an Apache 2.0 open source project.

Just as I did with Fig I had a go at composing my three tier demo app with CenturyLink's Panamax as I was writing my InfoQ piece on the launch.
You can see the resulting todomvc.pmx template file in GitHub (and see that it's very similar to my fig.yml), but it's a visual tool, so let's look at some screenshots, starting with an overview of the service:
Zooming in, the template is made up out of three underlying services:
I started out with the mysql service, which is why it has the _latest suffix dangling there. I could edit it out, but didn't bother. Clicking on that service the only things that matter are the EXPOSEd port and the volume mapping:
It will be interesting to see what Panamax adds under the hood for volumes, as right now the mount point needs to be created manually, and such things don't play well in multi server deployments.
The Sinatra app server needs a link back to the database in addition to exposing its own port:
Finally the container with Nginx for SSL termination links back to the app server and binds to port 443:
Because the whole thing is running inside VirtualBox it's necessary to do another port forward. The instructions for that are included in the template and can be brought up on screen:
Having set the application up I then entered a GitHub token in order to allow it to be saved as a template.
Give it a try for yourself. Add cpswan/panatest to your sources:
Then search for todomvc:

CenturyLink has launched Panamax, a tool that they describe as 'Docker Management for Humans'. Panamax distinguishes itself from other composition tools for Docker by offering a web based user interface, which can be used to compose multiple Docker containers into templates that can then be shared on GitHub. Alongside the launch of the open source project CenturyLink are running the 'Panamax App Template Challenge 2014', a competition offering $100,000 in prizes for the best submissions across a variety of categories.

USB Shaver Charger
I hacked together my own USB shaver charger using a cheap DC-DC converter I bought on eBay, so fewer worries (and things to carry) next time I'm travelling.
I use an electric shaver most days, and I travel a fair bit. Usually the battery is enough to get me through a trip, but if I'm away for weeks then I need to recharge.
The charger that came with my shaver (in the UK) is a European type like this:
If I had a US charger, I'd be fine, because most places in Europe have both types. Sadly the reverse isn't true, so it's less common to find European sockets in the US.
To make things worse the European shaver plug looks like a Swiss style plug, but actually has larger prongs, so it doesn't just fit into a multinational adaptor. Here's the hideous jury rig I had to put together on my most recent trip to get a charge:
That photo has a European shaver charger, a euro to UK adaptor (from my wife's GHDs), a Swiss World Travel adaptor, and an elastic hair band.
I've thought in the past that it would be a good idea if somebody like iGo did shaver tips for their travel chargers, but that hasn't happened. Of course most smaller devices these days use USB for charging.
USB shavers
They do exist, but they don't look great. I'll stick with my Braun.
Why not USB?
It's a mystery to me why the shaver manufacturers like Braun, Philips etc. haven't shifted to using 5v for charging and supplying a USB charger. I guess they're stuck in the same place the mobile phone makers were a decade ago (before the European commission mandated microUSB).
The solution
My shaver charger is 12v at 400mA. I got a MC34063A based DC-DC converter module from eBay for £1.68. It's claimed to be 78% efficient and can output up to 1.5A (though it's recommended that it's only pushed to 800mA).
Crunching the numbers:
12v * 400mA = 4.8W
4.8W output/ 78% efficiency = 6.15W input
1.23A is well inside the capabilities of a typical USB travel charger for something like a tablet, and even a more mundane 1A charger is likely to be sufficient – worst case the shaver will charge fractionally slower.
The voltage converter came already set up for 12v, so it was simply a matter of dismembering an existing charger cable, and a spare USB cable, followed by a quick bit of soldering and heat shrinking. The picture at the top of the post shows the finished article (with the coiled shaver cable wrapped around the USB charger cable to keep things tidy).
At the moment both cables come out of the same side of the converter, and it would be better if it was just a bump in the wire; and that bump could be more elegant than a lump of heat shrink encased electronics.
I'm probably not going to bother polishing this thing any further myself. It works, and I'm happy with it.
Maybe some enterprising Chinese manufacturer will come up with something properly designed, with variants (or even interchangeable plugs) for different shaver types.

The Docker subsystem available since version 3.5 allows additional virtualized network functions (VNFs) to be run on VNS3. I've previously written about using this capability for content caching, SSL termination and load balancing. This time I'll cover using it as a network intrusion detection system (NIDS).
Introducing Suricata
The archetypal NIDS system for Linux is Snort. Suricata is the newer alternative developed by the Open Information Security Foundation. It's multi threaded, to make it more scalable, has improved protocol and file identification, and is somewhat easier to install and configure (though that's taken care of with a Dockerfile anyway).
The demo application
For a little while I've used an application based on Nginx, Sinatra and MySQL to demo VNS3. It's gratuitously three tier, but it's a good way of showing off the various moving parts of an overlay network. The app implements a simple web based todo list with persistence to the database
Getting the traffic into the NIDS
Firstly I uploaded my suricata-demo Dockerfile to VNS3 to become a container image, then I allocated a container from it, which was given the first available IP of 198.51.100.2. Getting traffic off the overlay and into the container just needs an entry like this in the firewall:
# copy all traffic from the overlay network to the NIDS container MACRO_CUST -j COPY --from tun0 --to 198.51.100.2 --bidirectional
Whilst I'm there it's also worth putting in the rules so that I can connect to the container over SSH (in order to see detection in action):
# enable NAT to allow containers to talk to the outside world -o eth0 -s 198.51.100.0/28 -j MASQUERADE # forward port 2222 from the VNS3 manager to port 22 on the container PREROUTING_CUST -i eth0 -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 2222 -j DNAT --to 198.51.100.2:22
Application specific rules
A nice thing about application centric networks is that they can have application specific rules for intrusion detection – there's no need to have a kitchen sink list of rules to catch every possible attack that would apply to an entire enterprise network.
For demo purposes I have a single rule that detects Mastercard numbers:
alert tcp any any <> any any (pcre:"/5\d{3}(\s|-)?\d{4}(\s|-)?\d{4}(\s|-)?\d{4}/"; msg:"MasterCard number detected in clear text";sid:9000001;rev:1;)
This rule is looking for the pattern 5XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX where each X is a digit and each – could be a dash, a space, or nothing. It's not doing any validation that the numbers are valid Mastercard numbers, it's just picking up the pattern of something that looks like a Mastercard number
When this triggers (by putting a Mastercard number into the todo list) an alert can be seen in Suricata's fast.log file e.g.:
07/22/2014-19:51:20.753227 [**] [1:9000001:1] MasterCard number detected in clear text [**] [Classification: (null)] [Priority: 3] {TCP} 192.168.56.111:4567 ->; 10.0.6.50:37589
Try it for yourself
The full cohesiveft/suricata image is available on Docker Hub (and Github). It uses Oinkmaster to pull a full set of rules from Emerging Threats.
The cut single rule down demo version cohesiveft/suricata-demo described above is also available on Docker Hub (and Github).
Whether you start out with a full rule set, and cut out the stuff that causes too much noise, or come at it the other way to build up a rule set to address specific concerns – the choice is yours.

Amazon recently announced the new t2 family of low end instances, which I wrote about on InfoQ. Pricing wise the headline is that the t2.micro is ¢1.3/hr, which is a fair bit cheaper than the ¢2/hr of the t1.micro it replaces. It also has much better performance, and more consistent performance, and more transparent performance characteristics, and more RAM.
¢1.3/hr is good, but it's still not sub penny. It somehow reminds me of the big old pre decimal pennies that people still had in little china pots when I was a kid.
¢1.3/hr is however the on demand pricing. It's also possible to get t2.micro reserved instances in medium and heavy usage varieties. Pushing things to the max gets a 3yr heavy utilisation reserved instance that costs $109 up front and ¢0.2/hr. If we leave the instance up for the full 3 years, and amortise the $109 up front then that comes out to ¢0.615/hr – a little less than half the on demand pricing.
¢0.615/hr – now that's sub penny :)

The Beauty Closet: Rachel's April Favorites
April 23, 2014 - 3:23pm
With the end of April, that means the end of classes and almost the end of the school year. It's crazy to think that another year has ended and while a lot has happened this year, my passion and love for makeup has certainly become full-fleshed throughout this year. I've loved writing my Monthly Favorites and other Beauty Closet articles and hope you've enjoyed them too. READ MORE
The Beauty Closet: Makeup Ideas to Try This Spring
April 15, 2014 - 1:51pm
It's officially spring and I am loving the warmer temps, and yes, even those rainy days! Although you can still rock a vampy lip or dark eyes, why not brighten up your look a little with one of these exciting spring ideas? 1. Try colored eyeliner. Whether you add it to the top or bottom, a pop of color in an unexpected place on your eyes is great trend for spring. While everyone else is adding color with their eyeshadow, you can add some turquoise liquid liner in a cat eye. Or try putting some purple on your waterline instead of the usual black. Brands like Stila make great liquid eyeliner, and check out Milani's Shadow Eyez for fun colored liners. READ MORE
The Beauty Closet: Hair Extension How-Tos
April 8, 2014 - 1:36pm
It may be appropriate to clear the air; yes, the whole concept of hair extensions may seem rather vapid and superficial. However, hair extensions are really fun for a night out, adding volume, and tacking on those extra couple inches because maybe like me, your hair "never grows". And honestly, at least for myself, I am totally not above doing something so easy that lends me a bit more confidence throughout the day, so I say why not! READ MORE
Hot & Healthy: Running Tips for Running Haters
April 7, 2014 - 5:20pm
I have always envied natural runners, or friends who spontaneously sign up for 10k a week before the run. I have a cousin who has run twelve marathons… TWELVE. Excessive? Maybe I'm just a little jealous. Don't get me wrong, I'm like most people, I grew up playing sports and was on four different teams throughout high school. Admittedly, none were track or cross-country. Running just for the sake of it has never peaked my interest. However, I think we can all relate to that certain level of fitness where you feel invincible, and it's always a great feeling. Running can be an awesome way to de-stress and have some personal time. Here are a couple ways to gear up for anyone who needs a push to get out there for a run....
The Beauty Closet: Rachel's March Beauty Favorites
March 27, 2014 - 2:57pm
Let's be real, March here at UVM has not been a fun month. Although it's technically spring, there is still tons of snow on the ground and it definitely feels more like winter. But that hasn't stopped me from finding some great products to remind you that warmer temps are on the way! READ MORE
The Beauty Closet: Which Concealer Is Right For You?
March 19, 2014 - 6:34pm
If there's one makeup item I can't live without, it's probably concealer. (And mascara. And lipstick.) But seriously, concealer is a girl's best friend. It helps cover up any pesky blemishes and conceal those nasty under eye circles if you stayed up too late watching Netflix. Figuring out which one to choose can be a toughie, so I've got you covered with some of my favorites. READ MORE
Hot & Healthy: Green St. Patrick's Day Smoothies
March 10, 2014 - 8:43pm
I know the idea of drinking spinach isn't exactly the most enticing thing in the world, despite the claim that "You really can't taste it". I was equally skeptical myself. But with the temperatures creeping up, and the beginnings of flowers poking through the ground, it might be time to ditch the bagels and try something new and healthy. And, what better time to experiment than in lieu of St. Patrick's day approaching, get your green on inside and out. Here are some of our favorites: "Tiffany's Smoothie" from Healthy Girl's Kitchen READ MORE

The Beauty Closet: Drugstore Products Under 12 Dollars
March 10, 2014 - 5:31pm
I love my high-end makeup from places like Sephora and MAC, but unfortunately my wallet does not. However, there are plenty of amazing products that you can get at the drugstore for under $12. Here are just a few of the many that make my wallet happy. 1. Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator, $11. You can use this as a primer, in place of foundation, mixed with moisturizer, and so much more. The four different shades give a beautiful dewy glow to your skin without looking too oily. My two favorites are the bare light and pink light shades. READ MORE
My Life is GrUV: Have the Best Staycation Over Spring Break!
February 24, 2014 - 6:34pm
Have the Best Staycation Ever this Spring Break Not going anywhere for spring break? No worries! We've got you covered. I don't know about you, but when I hear the words spring break, all I think is goodbye money. But with these ideas, you don't have to spend a lot. Unless you feel like throwing down for a day of pampering yourself at the spa (which I for one fully support… who doesn't need a massage right in the middle of spring semester?!), have fun this spring break without breaking the bank!

Based on your computer/connection there might be animation lag/lip syncing not matchig up. Also to my fault the animation was done at 18 FPS, so lag is more than just a maybe its more than likely.
This is based off of the TooF characters by Logo presents. My first NG submission, and since then I have learned a good bit. All animation/design etc is by myself, with voice acting by Logo, Ramiro, and Chris Nosal (Badguys). This animation took a lot of time, hopefully you will be able to appreciate this in the high detail backgrounds. This animation did suffer from delays, and was SUPPOSED to done in time for the Halloween 06 section. Thanks again to Logo for letting me use his characters in this animation.
If you have seen the 2003 Texas Chainsaw or the 2006 Beginning it will definetly help you appreciate the animation. I put a lot of stuff in this that people that have seen the movies will catch on to. Even if you haven't seen the movies though, you will enjoy it. PLEASE WATCH ALL 6 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE BEFORE VOTING. (AND YES DUE TO A LOW FPS 18 OR SO, THERE WILL PROBABLY BE LAG SORRY)
The graphics looks way cool.
And u spent so long on it.
Well worth all the effort ey
I likes alot!
Cant wait for ure next submission :D
whooh dude.
whens toof chainsaw massacre coming out man?
Miss the origional one
It does not have the appeal of the origional toof. The origonal was based in a mouth and had style for that
I thought of doing this in the mouth, but so much of Texas Chainsaw is the location etc. I also felt it would be a interesting chance of pace to bring it outside the mouth. Hope you still enjoyed it.
wow i like it 0____0
wow that is almost like the moive chainsaw massacre good job on the show it was cool
Graphics-8 Well because at times the TeeF seemed to look a little weird.
Style-8 Because its TooF with a spin.
Sound-10 Chainsaws, voice acting, and music from the movie I love!
Violence-10 Well you saw logo.
Interactivity-7 I clicked some buttons thats interactive... right?
Humor-9 TeeF being killed with a chainsaw you look me in the eyes, and tell me thats not funny.
Overall-9 It was a great movie with gore, and TeeF.
Complaints- Add a pause button so when I go to the bathroom I don`t
miss anything.
"Well you saw logo", that was great. I out of the two chainsaw scenes I have to say that was my favorite. Thanks for the review man.

John. I use that same "frog getting boiled" analogy often. We, the people, are getting boiled and we don't know it. We've grown to accept it as inevitable. Why? There are cameras at many intersections (often taking pictures of infractions for revenue), they're going to put black boxes inside cars to monitor your driving, computer chips inside refrigerators, washing machines, TV's. Can you think of any business or item in your house that doesn't have the hand of government in/on it? Now the IRS is taking a closer look at your tax returns if you're of the wrong ideological persuasion. BUELLER, BUELLER, BUELLER!!???
Americans should learn from Snowden about 'surveillance society'
Americans should learn from Snowden about 'surveillance society'
Put a frog in a pot of cold water on a hot stove and as the water warms, the frog quietly accepts its dying fate. Is this an accurate picture of Americans today?
The world is dangerous, but do our security measures magnify the problem? Iran and Afghanistan are wars to nowhere. Civilian deaths that inflame hatred toward America in foreign lands do little to dampen Obama's affection for drone attacks.
Government officials routinely lie and exaggerate dangers to cover ill-considered decisions. The success of old-fashioned police work successfully stopping terror plots is down layed to give luster to the expansion of Orwellian surveillance on all citizens.
Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange have dark sides, like the rest of us, but their actions put us frogs on alert to the kind of surveillance society we live in and the kinds of failed policies government labels success stories.
No government should be safe from leaks — and no society is safe without them. Let the discussion begin!

For safety, bicyclists need to stay out of the road
There seems to be a lot of letters vilifying car drivers for making the cyclists life more dangerous. A July 6 letter I just read uses the word "peril." It also seems to me that every time there's a car/bike tragedy, the car driver is automatically to blame.
When's the last time these cyclists thought about the danger they put themselves in? Just a month or so ago a friend of mine was driving around a blind curve. All of a sudden, we see several cyclists in the middle of the road. This road is a state road, 55 miles an hour. Thankfully she braked in time.
But what if she couldn't have? Do we stay on the road and hit the cyclists? Swerve into the other lane and head-on another car? Steer ourselves off the road and into a ditch?
I've seen dozens and dozens of cyclists cruising down the middle of the road. Even roads with extremely wide shoulders. Why aren't they on the shoulder? Isn't there a minimum speed limit on roads with the state maximum?
I know they're breaking no laws, but I also know they're supposed to follow all laws and they don't. How about having them registered, inspected and insured so when there is an accident everybody's covered?
Plus, who uses all these bike trails that our tax dollars spend millions on? Only kids, as far as I can tell.
And usually lesson one for kids riding bikes is to stay out of the road.

Time to bring back Scotia's emergency fire whistle
Years ago, the whistle at the Scotia firehouse on Mohawk Avenue would blow religiously at noon. Growing up in the village, I, like many, knew that the blasts of the whistle would also indicate where a fire was reported.
My dad was a volunteer fireman in Scotia for 25 years, and we were very aware of the assigned codes for different fire boxes in the village. They were on a little card, so we would know where the emergency was. No matter where we were, we would count the eerie sound of the whistle to know where the firemen were headed.
One day it stopped, and I asked about it and was told that a part needed to be replaced and that it was too expensive to repair. That was many years ago. Now we're seeing other emergencies in our communities. Lately we've had flooding from the banks of the Mohawk and we've also had tornado warnings. Wouldn't it be worth looking into replacing this device so that we could warn the people of an impending disaster?
I think I'd rest easier knowing that there was a plan in place to alert us if something major were about to hit our community. Most of these things hit during the night when we're sleeping and this could avert potential loss of life. It would also be nice for the nostalgic of Scotia to hear it once more!

Gazette circulation gain good news for readers
I have been a Gazette reader and subscriber my entire life. I read it cover to cover every day. So of course I noticed your May 17 chart about your increased readership during the last year.
Congratulations! I know what an amazing and important accomplishment this is, considering the hardships your industry is facing. Just two hours west of us in Syracuse, their primary daily newspaper, the Post-Standard, is only being delivered to subscribers three days a week. This has been a difficult adjustment and unfortunate loss for Central New Yorkers who relied on the daily newspaper in the ways I rely on the Gazette.
I hope the news that your readership continues to grow means we can depend on the Gazette for many years to come. Keep up the good work!

John Kerry came out and stated the Eric Snowden has put American lives at risk. What is the proof of that claim? Obama hasn't produced any evidence yet plants that seed in the public's mind that somehow Eric Snowden has evil motives behind his actions. That spin has been put out by the Obama administration ever since the NSA leaker story went public. I voted for Obama in 2008. He brought change alright. Change from what he envisioned during the campaign. I have been sorely disappointed with his tendency to do the opposite of what he promised as candidate Obama. Ironically, only Foxnews' Eric Bolling has been the only pundit to raise this issue, the rest of the media has been asleep at the switch as Obama's hypocrisy goes unchallenged.
2:39 p.m.
Mickey Marcella, I'd like to see your letter proofread for problems of logic. But in any case, you don't sound like you see both sides of this.
First and foremost, these recent letters this past two weeks have been concerning a very, very questionable "investigation" over a car-bike tragedy where the "investigator" essentially shot himself in the foot by misstating the rules of the road as laid out by NYS showing a clear bias. What I think came from the article were letters from others, myself included, of cowardly people in cars who appear to have feelings of rage for cyclists and the bias of law enforcement for them.
But to address your points:
Just because the posted speed limit is 55 doesn't *require* you to drive that speed. it's up to the driver to use their own judgement as to what's safe especially on rural state roads where you may find farm equipment, horses and buggies, livestock (yes, I've seen that around here) or cyclists. Minimum speed limits apply to interstates, not state roads. It sounds like your friend didn't have that in mind.
"Bike paths" are the familiar term for what are technically Multi Use Paths (MUPs) which means you can find all manner of non-motorized users on them including dog-walkers, joggers, families with children, inline skaters, etc. Most of the grown-up cyclists I'm acquainted with ride at speeds in the teens to twenty miles per hour. MUPs are completely impractical for us.
Instead of telling kids to 'stay out of the road', how about we take the responsibility of teaching the right way to use the road on their bikes (assuming we're familiar with them, I guess)? Common sense says cyclists are very vulnerable and need to hyper-aware of motor vehicles. Where practical, cyclists should stay to the right as far as is safe, and on many state roads the shoulders are as good as being in the lane. But it's *not* up to the motorized public to enforce their perception of what's safe.
1:48 a.m.
In addition to ChuckD comments, the speed limit is just that.. "limit", meaning this fast and no faster. Every state has a "Basic Speed Law" stating that the driver is responsible for driving for the conditions. Driving around a "blind curve" at the "limit" is unwise and irresponsible. If you don't know what is on the the other side of the curve or hill, the responsible thing to do is reduce the risk of a crash by reducing your speed. Driving requires continual anticipation of potential risk and is a demanding task. It's human nature to want to blame "accidents" on everything but our own behavior.
8:44 p.m.
Cyclists often hear the cry, "Get off the road! Stay on the sidewalk (or bikepath)" from motorists who think tax-paying cyclists (yes, we, often affluent, frequently pay more taxes than you) should pay for motorists' EXCLUSIVE use of traffic-free roads.
If you don't like having cyclists on the roadways you use, you might want to stay on the Thruway or interstate? We built those traffic-free roads for you, so why don't you use them?
Maybe because they don't go where you want to be, or in as direct path? EXACTLY the same reason cyclists often shun a bikepath. Roads and streets, with the exception of interstates, were built for the movement of people and goods, with no regard to the mode of transportation, be it foot, buggy, stagecoach, bus, bike or car. Traffic laws are exactly that, TRAFFIC laws, not MOTOR VEHICLE laws. Horses, walkers, cyclists, and motorists are all traffic.
About your blind curve ... suppose a large rock had been in that roadway? Does happen. I'd would have ruined your day, no?
As I tell organizations that solicate me in efforts to lobby for car-free cycling facilities:
"New York State cyclists from the days before cars have succeeded in building the best network of bike routes in the country. We call them "roads" and even agreed to share them with cars."

Enough talk: Move forward, Republicans
The election is over, but the recriminations drag on. One after another, battered Republicans keep stepping onto soapboxes to explain what went wrong on Election Day. Of course, no one accepts the blame. Too many are still wasting time by seeking scapegoats.
Most offer cure-all proposals that are nothing new. Moderates still preach that the party must reach out to the middle and duck divisive social questions; conservatives promise to stand firm on traditional issues and defend the moral high ground.
It is time for New Hampshire's Republicans to quit looking back. This internal debate won't solve anything. Stop talking about 2012. Move ahead. Don't wait for 2016 or 2014. The party must learn from the successes of New Hampshire's Democrats, a party that kept organizing, fund-raising and building for the future even when Republican control seemed impregnable. It paid off. The state GOP must take practical steps to strengthen itself from its headquarters on down and install a fresh team of leaders with real skills in political organization and communications. New energy can be as important as new ideas.
Not everything was lost on Nov. 6. Republicans must build from those bases, including the Legislature. The GOP still holds the state Senate presidency. A tough, experienced legislator will lead its big House minority caucus. By enlisting public support, Peter Bragdon and Gene Chandler can derail some of the tax and spending increases that the governor-elect and her legislative allies will propose.
Remember, the tax issue retains tremendous power. An impressive 57 percent of the state voted to ban an income tax forever, in part because of the hard work of Kevin Smith and his No Income Tax PAC. That constitutional amendment failed this time, but the vote was effectively a referendum on broad-based taxes. Many Democrats and independents endorsed basic conservative principles by supporting the amendment. Republicans, not Democrats, represent a majority of New Hampshire's voters on this bedrock question of fiscal policy. That is a significant political victory.
That momentum must continue. Republicans and conservatives must be ready to challenge Maggie Hassan and Terie Norelli as they attempt to raise taxes and fees whenever possible. If New Hampshire families who believe in small, efficient government do not become anti-tax activists now, they will pay a high price later.
After losing a battle, a routed army can give up or reload. We recommend the latter.

Just before 8pm Monday night the Subway at 50th and University was robbed for a second time this month.
The bandit told employees he had a weapon but never showed one. It's the same way someone robbed the same store and three other sandwich shops last week.
Monday night's robber is described as a Hispanic man, five-four to five-nine, with a spider tattoo on his left hand and severe acne on his face.
Dogs tracked the suspect across the street but were unable to find him. If you have any information, you're urged to call Crime Line at 741-1000.
Fourth Lubbock Sandwich Shop Robbed
Lubbock police are looking for either a sandwich shop bandit or several sandwich shop bandits.

No problems. The service tech was very courteous, knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about my well and filtering needs. He removed 2 old filters that were plumbed into my water system and added a new modern filter. He also took the time to reroute the pipes properly to and from the new filter. I thought the bill was a little high but you get what you pay for. I will gladly call them again if I have any other water well or filter needs.
They were very responsive to my initial call. Arrived at my house within a couple of hours of my call. Once here discovered they did not have the necessary equipment. Left to get needed equipment and returned. Dug some holes in my yard and eventually discovered the cause of the problem. Stated would need to get county inspector to approve proposed fix. I paid them $435 for work done that day. Next week inspector arrived and indicated proposed fix was not allowed. During subsequent phone call was told plumber would talk with another contractor and get back
People were very pleasant and presented a business like image when they first responded. I was very surprised at their total lack of follow through.

Newhall School District's Run Puts Kids To The Test
Fitness takes center stage as school kids challenge themselves.
Sponsored By:
Bright and early Saturday morning, Newhall School District students and parents met up at Valencia Valley elementary school for the third annual run for fitness.
A course was set up that involved running and exercise stations designed to challenge the kids and motivate them to be active on a regular basis.
Kindergarteners had a smaller course, however, the other grades all ran on the same course. 5th and 6th graders ran the course twice.
Mayor Pro Tem Frank Ferry was also at the event, as he spoke to the children and introduced four high school athletes that were on hand to help the runners throughout the course. The student athletes included Hart Running Back Delano Howell, Hart girls basketball star Megan Ford, Hart Kicker/Golfer Johnny Macarthur, and Hart soccer standout Sarina Coutin.

UGA's men's tennis team fell 4-2 to UNC in the NCAA round of 16 in Athens on Friday. A few "fan's notes":
Beautiful weather. An unbelievable crowd at the Dan. Lots of noise. Battles on every court. But for the final score, really could not ask for more.
The turning point of the day? Near the end of first sets in singles, I think. Dawgs had dropped a closely contested doubles point. But we came out roaring in singles – quickly up 1 or more breaks in 5 first sets. But credit the Tar Heels for getting up off the mat – and taking 3 of those 5 first sets. Dawgs never stopped fighting (they never do), but I think the momentum shifted there.
Despite the tough loss, another great year for Manny's boys. This program continues to focus on all the right things (maybe I'll write more on that one day), and I just enjoy being there to witness it.
Men's quarterfinals are now set: USC-Texas, Baylor-UVA (go hoos), Ohio State-UCLA, and UNC-Oklahoma. All on Sunday at the DMTC.
As discussed in other posts, WTEN Dawgs had an epic win Thursday night against USC. Headed out to see them in the quarters today at 4 against the Gators.
Stacey and I continue to have a great tourney week. Great action on the courts, but also great just to be outside, enjoy the weather, meet with friends, chat with players, their families, coaches, even the AD. Good stuff all around.

PLAYERS: Ben McLemore, Trey Burke, Bill Self, Tim Hardaway, Glenn Robinson, Elijah Johnson, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Mitch McGary, Naadir Tharpe, Travis Releford, Jeff Withey, Tim Hardaway Jr, Glenn Robinson III
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Kansas Jayhawks, Michigan Wolverines
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Kansas Jayhawks, Michigan Wolverines
Ben McLemore went to the bench after his fourth foul, having put his slump behind him and with top-seeded Kansas closing in on a third straight trip to the regional finals. McLemore didn't score again, and the Jayhawks couldn't finish the job. Trey Burke scored all 23 of his points in the second half and overtime, including a long, never-a-doubt 3-pointer to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation, and Michigan rallied to beat the Jayhawks 87-85 in the South Regional semifinals Friday night. McLemore, a freshman coming off two bad performances in his NCAA tournament debut, had 20 points when he came out, but got off just one more shot in the last 4 minutes of regulation and overtime. Kansas (31-6) blew a 14-point lead in the last 6-plus minutes of regulation and became the third No. 1 seed ousted after Gonzaga and Indiana. ''Well, this will certainly go down as one of the toughest games that obviously we've been a part of and I've been a part of,...
