July 10 Flow Update
Just some feedback:
- No table of contents?
- Doesn't fill whole screen, on Firefox fills ~1/2
- When I type in this box the bottom jiggles up and down
- Couldn't easily find how to edit a section
<nowiki><nowiki>Thanks, ~~~~</nowiki></nowiki>
Found how to edit. No signing? That is weird...
- Page history is a disaster. The current page history is fine, why change it?
Posted there. Thanks

User:Quiddity (WMF): Can you tell us what's new?
WhatamIdoing: The main new feature is "Summarize", which is intended to grow into (with our feedback and suggestions) something along the lines of {{Archive top}} and related templates. It could also potentially be adapted or transformed into a preliminary summary? More feedback = more potential! See examples, and test it out, at Wikipedia talk:Flow/Developer test page.
Apart from that, there's been a lot of back-end work, and bug-fixes, over the last few weeks. The new front-end is also getting closer to completion (and taking longer than estimated, sorry). I'll put together a more complete list of updates, in a new newsletter, next week.
Hmmm. What seems to be new is that the type size is smaller, particularly for responses. Still doesn't address the "power" issues of having responses in a different size than the original post, and still doesn't address the fact that on a typical screen, more than half the page is white space. But there are differences.
I like to think that my screen is reasonably "typical", and it's only 30% (at the most) whitespace for me.
(Hmm, I wonder if a table of contents or vertical nav box could fill some of that space.)
WhatamIdoing: Well, that's even worse, because it means that the width is fixed and not adapting to the screens. That's pretty much in opposition to the all the design rules we keep being told are in operation, so that Mobile can be properly accommodated.
This is a classic example of fixing a non-existant problem by creating a whole new one.
It's got a maximum width, not a fixed width. It should adapt to narrow screens very easily.
WhatamIdoing: Does it have a minimum width too? When zooming in to show big fonts in a narrow screen (such as a mobile phone), it totally breaks the text reflowing, and half of the line is cut and left outside the view port. This makes it impossible to read without extensive left-right scrolling for each line, which is awful.
WhatamIdoing: Problem is that on my 1440x702 window size, it is only using 56% of the screen which leaves 44% of the screen empty. That is a HORRIBLE waste of space.
If that is the case, then the maximum width is far too narrow. There's so much whitespace the writing gets lost. Especially the tiny reply font size. It needs to be adaptable to fill at least 2/3 of the width of whatever screen it is read on; it's too narrow on my laptop with lots of wasted space, and horrendous on the desktop, where it takes up less than half the screen left of the 2-inch sidebar.
Risker: At a guess, the maximum is defined in "ems" (and therefore by the size of the words, not the size of the screen), and the choice is probably based on what length of lines people can read without losing their places easily.
So then the question becomes: Is it more important for your screen to be filled up, or is it more important for a person with dyslexia or poor vision to be able to read the page comfortably?
WhatamIdoing: I'd suggest you're taking the wrong tack here if you want to pump up the hypothetical benefits for some differently abled users by belittling my visual difficulties. Too much white space is physically painful for many people, and frequent font size changes are much more difficult to read for those whose visual accommodation is not that of the average 20-year-old. Keep the text at the same size, at the very minimum. There's never been a reasonable explanation for its changing size, and this point it's far smaller than anything else on the project. Many dyslexics use specialized software, and most people with poor vision use their browsers to big up the size; I do it myself when the font is too small. In fact, I tried to do it to read the replies here, which then made the font for initial posts enormous - but still less than 2/3 the screen.
Risker: I agree that the size change is weird.
I'm afraid that the assertion that white space is "physically painful for many people" falls into my "citation needed" category. Most professionals in this area think it's valuable, "comfortable", "restful" and "easier for the eye to work". I'm willing to believe that you find it painful; I just think that if this were a common problem, that I'd be able to find a couple of reliable sources saying something about it. (I did look.)
Most dyslexics don't use specialized software. Most dyslexics don't even know that they have dyslexia, which is believed to affect 10 to 20 percent of adults. Specialized software is only used by people who have severe dyslexia, not by the far greater number of people whose mild dyslexia makes it hard for them to keep their place in a long string of characters.
Whatamidoing, your references do not show on the page. Another problem. Because I know your wiki-reputation, I can trust that you're not sending me to someplace I'd really not want to go, but I wouldn't follow an unviewable link from someone I didn't know, and indeed wouldn't follow links from a fair number of people I do know. Two of the three "studies" you link to are simply personal opinion of individual designers, and none of the examples they give show "bunched up" fine print taking up about 35% of the screen and pure whitespace everywhere else; even then, most of them have less "white" whitespace. One of the links you give me refers to a single study involving 20 college students, which shows that in this tiny sample, margins decrease reading speed and increase comprehension. However, the examples used in the study have margins that are about an inch wide, even less than the "whitespace" for the (mostly blank) column immediately to the left of this. (In other words, if we put an equally sized margin on the right, it would still have wider margins than the test readings.) None of the examples tested had anywhere near the white space that this screen has, even on an 11-inch screen.
(I will continue this in a new screen because this one is jumping like nobody's business.)
Continuing my comment above - the screen started jumping six lines up after my first keystroke on the line where I have the bracket, making it impossible to see what I was typing and being extremely annoying....there's a bug for this somewhere...
Bottom line, the entire purpose of this project is to facilitate communication. And yet, it gets fonts that are tinier than any other material except for the licensing terms below this window, with no explanation at all for what is obviously a design decision that's been complained about since the first testing of this product. Instead of making it better, further changes have actually made it worse.
Every time people ask for evidence, what we get are the same old links of personal blog posts by various designers - remember, they're business people who have to beef up their own products, and the same undated, tiny study that...irony of ironies...doesn't use its own research in its web page design.
Risker: That is still far more evidence than I have been able to find to support your belief that "many people" find white space "physically painful". I haven't bothered with a search of scholarly sources. Feel free to do that if you want to. I suspect that our articles on the subject could use a good editor.
WhatamIdoing, Risker: The fonts will all be fixed (will use same fontsize as content pages, and equal size for all posts) in the front-end overhaul. That was originally estimated to be finished many weeks ago, which is why time wasn't spent fixing more of the existing front-end aesthetics and bugs. (For which the devs apologize).
Regarding the column-width, and other whitespace issues, please (please!) migrate the discussion over to WT:Flow/Design FAQ, where the other interested editors will be likely to participate, and to avoid distracting/etc the WikiProject Breakfast participants. Thank you!
Just a heads-up that I'm talking over at WT:FOOD about re-writing the articles related to candy. This is resulting in Confectionery getting an accurate scope: bakers' confections (including many breakfast-oriented pastries and baked goods) plus sugar confections (candy/sweets) instead of just the sugar ones.
If you'd like to help with the breakfast aspects of Confectionery, then please feel free to join in. If there's a list of pastries or something, then it would be nice to have that linked.
Also, does anyone have a decent source about people eating candy for breakfast?
WhatamIdoing: I can't find a topic at wt:food called confectionary. Did you mean this?
Ottawahitech: It's been archived, but it's now here. I'm looking forward to Flow's no-archive-needed system.
WhatamIdoing: I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I found this List of pastries
Ottawahitech: There also Mekitsa which I found in List of breakfast foods which is not mentioned in List of pastries even though it is described as a pastry.
History: when the breakfast wikiproject was started we had a category: Breakfast foods, but it was deleted shortly after its creation through the wp:CfD process which I personally believe is a flawed process that damages efforts of editors to organize content...
Thanks. Mekitsa sounds a bit like sopapillas, which also aren't on the list. I wonder if they're considered more "bread" than "pastry"? (I'm not sure what the difference is; fundamentally, all pastries are breads.)
WhatamIdoing: Tell you the truth I never realized some people refer to pastries as confectionary (which by the way this source confirms. When I googled confectionary I saw the definition runs the full gamut from candies alone to including pastries and some even included ice cream,
Ottawahitech: I haven't seen any good sources that claim it's candy alone; confectionery is split into sugar confectionery (candy) and baker's confectionery (pastry and other sweet baked goods). I'm not sure which category ice cream is supposed to be included in, but I've also seen several sources that say it's a confection.
I will come up with something. My employer Consumer Reports has had engineers doing a lot of breakfast research for the past few months. Some research is in the food guides and I think in the news now CR is protesting the food coloring in waffle syrup.
I tried to start a new topic , but can't -- what I wanted to ask is why there have been no updates posted here from the developers in over a month.
Out of curiosity, What OS/browser are you using?
I've got a source for eating candy for breakfast... and it says that sugar cereal is candy! The first was something like Sugar Crisp by Quaker Oats, and it was specifically made as candy-coated breakfast cereal puff, as a one-time treat for fairgoers for the 1904 World Fair.[source] The first commercial sugar cereal was put out in 1939, and the only serious difference between this presweetened "cereal" and the World Fair "candy" was the marketing.
Do you think that it would be weird to include this in Candy, as part of the information about meal replacements?
No it is not weird and yes share it, that is awesome! Do you have access to deeper sources? How did you get the name Sugar Crisp, when that is not in the original source? The section heading on 285 says, "Candy for Breakfast". I wonder if contemporary marketing really did call it a "candy-coated cereal puff".
Bluerasberry: There's a 1951 ad for Post's Sugar Crisp reproduced in plate 15, which isn't in the Google Books version. It says that their cereal can be eaten as breakfast, snack, or candy. (All the color plates appear to be "page 183" according to Google.)
WhatamIdoing: Can you upload a copy of that advertisement? It would make a strong case for using the term "candy". I expect the ad would be in the public domain.
WhatamIdoing: Is it your belief that this is not uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? If I uploaded this for you, would you use it?
Bluerasberry: Perhaps I cannot do that. It looks like Saturday Evening Post has its copyright renewed from April 1950 on. The uploader says this is 1950, but someone else says this is from November 1960. Not sure...
Bluerasberry: My search for "Sugar Crisp" (quoted) at Commons produced zero hits. I'd use it. It should also be placed at Sugar Bear, which is image-free.
Bluerasberry: Hmmm - not sure about the Saturday evening post ad, the other ad is from an unnamed publication, but that video seems fair game for Wikimedia Commons.
WhatamIdoing: Duke University is managing that Sugar Bear video. I have an email pending to their librarian about copyright. If it is really clear, I should upload it after managing this correspondence. This should not take more than a week.
Bluerasberry: I wanted that TV ad on Archive.org but it seems that it is has the default (complete) copyright on it and will not be free for a long time. Duke Library holds the collection but they are not copyright holders. I suppose all these ads could be cited but unfortunately, this video seems copyrighted, the Saturday Evening Post ad is copyrighted, and the "1951 Post Sugar Crisp Cereal Ad" is from an unspecified magazine so I cannot check the copyright. It seems that I can take no further action to get any of these ads on Commons.
Bluerasberry: It's possible that the ad could be justified as Fair Use (to talk about marketing/the fact that candy wasn't a dirty word back then), but I think we'd want to get other opinions on it.
I suppose we could figure out how to contact the company to ask them what they copyright status was. In theory, I think that they, rather than the magazine, hold the copyright for the ads (they ran this one in multiple magazines). It depends a little on the advertising contract terms, but the usual thing to do (these days, anyway) is to license your ad to the publication, and hold the copyright yourself.
WhatamIdoing: I am not prepared to make a fair use argument, and anyway I try not to put much effort into things that cannot be used in other languages.
There is no existing infrastructure for making routine requests to external organizations for their content. I am not prepared to ask either Post Foods or any magazine for this content.
I am not sure of consensus on Commons for old ads. If you or anyone else is serious about pursuing this as an option then I would continue the conversation as we could go forward, but my initial thought is that all easy routes seem closed and that I myself am unwilling to lead an effort to do anything beyond following the easy routes. I think fair use would be the easiest route of remaining options, but I really prefer not to make fair use arguments.
Bluerasberry: Now's not the time to make any fair-use claims anyway; it ought to be done within minutes of uploading the image.
Price of breakfast foods going up?

I would like to post this: Price of breakfast foods going up?
According to http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/breakfast-foods-bacon-coffee-pricier-article-1.1730020 :
The price of lean pork in the futures market is at record levels and is up 52 percent since the start of the year

Update on Flow trial: what's new, what's next
Greetings, WikiProject Breakfast!
Now that you've had a chance to use Flow in your discussion space, we wanted to check in and see how you feel about the current set of features.
- Recap of work to date
As a quick recap, in the past 4 weeks, we've updated the visual design and behavior of some of our features per your and other users' feedback:
- permanent reply and edit buttons instead of hover buttons
- moderation actions and permalinks moved into a menu instead of appearing on hover
- darker body text
- tighter spacing between posts and topics
- third level of indentation for posts (code currently live on mediawiki.org and set to kick in here later this week)
- found and fixed many bugs
Check out the screenshots of the first iteration and the second iteration of the visual design/UI of Flow, to see our progress.
- What's next
We're still just getting started with the visual design and features of Flow. We're currently working on an overhaul of our frontend code and design, which will make it look better across multiple screens (large and small) and more browsers. You can see the early stages of this work in this prototype: http://area51.yar.gs/wmf/flow1/#, including a new navigational feature to the right of discussions. In addition, we'd like to do the following in the next month or so:
- add in-board search feature (you can see it in the prototype above)
- add a feature to summarize and close topics
- add the "thanks" feature for posts
- continue improving moderation, history, and watchlist items
- Do you still want to help?
- If you'd like to keep using Flow here, let us know what you'd like us to prioritize next that would make it better for you! We're interested in hearing what new features you'd like to see, as well changes to the existing features and design.
If you'd like to end the trial and return to using a talk page here, just let us know, and we can return your Flow posts to wikitext. Whatever you choose, thanks for trying out the software and helping us improve it!
Now that you ask, pretty pretty please, move the Reply button out of the way from the left side of the screen to the right side; this is top priority for me.
Having (Reply) the button interleaved (Reply) with the (Reply) conversation is (Reply) totally distracting. Interaction elements (Reply) shouldn't get in (Reply) the way of (Reply) the main task (Reply) which is (Reply) reading content .(Reply)
This design is a step in the wrong direction in that regard, but it would be good if the [Reply, Posted X minutes ago, Updated Y minutes ago] bar of controls would be right-aligned instead of left-aligned.
It was my understanding that one of the goals was to have threads with new comments move to the top - is this in the plans? This is important for those who do not want to participe in stale conversations.
Ottawahitech: Yes. Starting next Monday, they're working on Sort by activity, and the framework for other (future) "topic sorting" options. (Ignore the visual-design mockup and wording in that card, it's quite old now). Then once content-searching has been integrated (ongoing), they'll be able to push forward with more complex types of Filtering and Sorting, such as those suggested at User:Hhhippo/Flow.
Quiddity (WMF): I wanted to send you a thanks notification, but I guess this is also onl in the plans?
I still cannot start a new topic - my + Start a new topic is not clickable.
I would like to post this: Price of breakfast foods going up?
According to http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/breakfast-foods-bacon-coffee-pricier-article-1.1730020 :
The price of lean pork in the futures market is at record levels and is up 52 percent since the start of the year(bacon?)
Coffee futures have surged 57 percent this year
History: is this page being rewritten from scratch, or merged with the standard history view (and both updated)? The current history-view options don't seem too easy to use: no multiedit diffs, lots of vert whitespace, hard to see how to page through large numbers of diffs. The view displaying a single diff seems nice; I haven't tried it for anything significant.
Yes I agree the history function is not usable. Lots of things here are problematic but we are using the tools as best we can. FLOW is not anywhere close to being functional but lots of things will be improved as it is developed.
Well, based on the fact that not a single contributor to this page has said "heck, yes, let's keep doing this!" and instead all of the comments have been about what problems users are encountering, I would suggest that the answer to the question "do you still want to help" is "not really". Given that a regular contributor to this page has stated that he is not able to create a new topic, and his new page-relevant topic is now lost in the middle of this thread - it seems clear that the Flow experiment is now interfering with the appropriate function of this page. It's time to pull the plug here, so that the Wikiproject members can actually use this page for its intended purpose.
Risker: "Start new topic" is working for me and for Bluerasberry. Perhaps it was just a transient glitch in his browser.
Quiddity: Why is the text in the reply box so much lighter than the text that is posted? I wouldn't mind a dark gray, but this is too light, and they probably ought to match (or at least not contrast so dramatically). Medium gray text makes me feel like this website is only intended for people who have good vision.
WhatamIdoing: It doesn't matter whether it was a "transient glitch" or one that's browser-dependent or anything else: The whole purpose of having these LIVE pages on trial is to identify issues and act on them. Six days later, nobody from the FLOW project has even bothered to inquire of @Ottawahitech: about his problem, whether it recurred for him, what OS/browser he was using, etc. If the Flow folks aren't even going to bother reviewing what is going on here, or responses to the thread that they started, then it tells me that it's time to end the experiment. This page is using Flow for their learning and benefit, not for the good of Wikiproject Breakfast.
Risker: I'd responded to Ottawahitech's "Start new topic" bug at their talkpage , but it's currently unreproducible. (If anyone encounters it, please tell me details!) Regarding the continuation of this page as a trial location: the quiet nature of the project, and the participants willingness to cope with potential bugs whilst giving feedback, is part of the reason their offer to volunteer was so gratefully accepted.
WhatamIdoing: The insufficiently-dark grey text in text-area box will be fixed soon - the frontend dev has been working on a complete overhaul, hence the existing design hasn't had as much attention or as many tweaks as we might have expected. It means the newer design will be here faster, but that we need to endure known small design flaws like this for a few more weeks.
Sj and Bluerasberry: Yup, the History page is getting an overhaul, once the RC/Watchlist/Contribs overhaul is complete - that aspect is taking longer than expected, because they're encountering and fixing some technical debt as they go. It should make future work on it all somewhat easier, but is making current work more complex. The History page should end up looking much like current history pages do - the dev notes are here for the next iteration. They're also moving towards a more revdel-based moderation architecture, so that will also need to be taken into account.
HTH. As always, the more feedback the better. :)
Yellow boxes not floating and this is a problem
The yellow boxes on this page, starting with the one called "About the project", are not floating. This is a problem for my screensize because it means that there is empty space until after the table of contents, at which point the "About the project" section begins.
If these floated then they would automatically resize to match the user's screen. Right now I do not think they look good, but they would like nice if they floated.
I do not know how to fix this but if it is a standing problem for others for a long time, I would propose to change this presentation somehow.
Bluerasberry: You must get a different view than I do. I only see one yellow box on this page and it is called " Project" not "About the project". I also don't see a table of contents.
There is a table of contents and the problem banner in this image. Do you not see these things?
Bluerasberry: The only place where I see 'File:WikiProject Breakfast banner problem.png is in your reply. On a positive note -- I did get a notification about your reply :-)
Bluerasberry: It looks like the width of the section headers is the problem, on any screeen < 1200px the 75% width requirement specified in the section header means it wont fit next to the sidebar. I'm not particularly familiar with styling tables, a temporary fix might be to reduce the width 60% or some such.
EBernhardson (WMF): Very cool yes that is a reasonable solution. Thanks for suggesting that - I also am not familiar with styling tables but it really is not so hard to make these kinds of changes. Your looking first was an encouragement to me, and yes, what you suggested is best.
I cannot imagine why title headings would not display for you. Obviously they are in the source code for everyone.
Can someone else comment on whether they at least see the title heading and table of contents?
Bluerasberry: I think the answer to both is still "no", but see this screenshot for my current view (the yellow [brown?] box still just says "Project"):
Memetics: I am talking about the main page for the project, not the talk page as is shown in your screenshot.
Bluerasberry: Ah; sorry! I was focused on testing the new discussion functionality, so I was looking at the Talk page. Yes: I do see both elements on the main project page. -m
Added gallery to project page
Below the members sign up section I posted a gallery of some pictures from Commons. I used the new gallery functions which just became available a few months ago, so the images are packed and I tagged the pictures with country names to emphasize the international nature of this project. I think this gallery is not intrusive in the place where I put it plus I hope that people enjoy it here and become interested in breakfast.
Bluerasberry: I was looking for the gallery but cannot see it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Breakfast/Members - is this the right link? All I see there are images that, I believe, User:Northamerica1000 posted last year.
Ottawahitech: It is not in this section but below it. There are about ten pictures of breakfasts.
The link is the main page associated with this talk page.
The last line I see on Wikipedia:WikiProject Breakfast/Members, just before the categories is member #44. I don't see a gallery? On the plus side my notification lead me directly to your post, YEY!
Ottawahitech: Here is a screenshot of the entire page! Here you can see the table of contents, the whitespace to the left of the table of contents, and the gallery below the signatures.
This link expires in about a month. If need be I can upload a permanent picture.
How are you viewing this page? Is your view really so radically different that so much is excluded? You are doing very strange and personalized things with your settings, right?
Wow -- looks like I am missing a lot! Thanks for the screenshot. And no I am not doing anything strange, at least not on purpose :-)
Vertical whitespace makes it hard to figure out attribution. The "Sj" above this textarea looks to me like it is attached to the text above, requires a doubletake to realize it's my own sig.
The "..." is hard to understand as a navigation element.
The bottom of the textarea quivers for me on MacOS/Chrome: it's not fixed.
The subtext "By clicking "Reply..." is a fine fontsize, but a) doesn't need the extra word 'irrevocably' and b) could be cleaner if aligned with the left edge of the whitespace above it, not the left edge of the [blue] highlighted margin.
I like the color scheme used for text, margin, and buttons.
I agree with the ... being non-intuitive and have no comment on the rest. I do not have stylistic expectations for usability except that eventually this go through focus group testing before rolling it out. I think the opinions of complete non-Wikipedians should be influential in the final accepted design.
is anyone in this project involved in article assessment?
In light of the discussion thread Article assessment (which I don't know how to link here), I was wondering if anyone is actively assessing articles in this wiki-project? Thanks,

ECR4Kids Kids Half Moon Table
Emily from Dayton, OH– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
Strong and sturdy table. Light weight and easy to move. Adjustable but not quick and easy to adjust in a hurry for multiple ages. I bought several. Looks great with the chairs.
Just right for our Sunday school room!
Velita from Sulphur Springs, TX– Verified Buyer
We purchased this table for the nursery at church, along with some chairs, and they work perfectly for our needs. It's so easy to keep clean and is the perfect height for the little ones.
Love It
Darrekia from MEMPHIS, TN– Verified Buyer
Great Great Product for my toddlers and I love it!!!!!!

Love it! great for my home daycare fits all my kids. easy to assemble. seat 6 kids which is great or my home daycare.
Peter from Warwick, RI– Verified Buyer
Great table for the price. Sturdy and really fun for children! The only thing I wish is that the screws that allow you to raise and lower the table came with knob on them. Other than that, it is great!
Excellent product
Teacher/Mom from California– Verified Buyer
Again..thumbs up for phone assistance..pleasure dealing with them. Table is fairly light-weight but sturdy legs. So far able to withstand Sunday school class of 6 kindergartners. Was able to clean off stray crayon marks already! Kidney shape is even more helpful than I expected.
Love it!!
Plastic table from Northern CA
I love that the top of the table is plastic - but a heavy durable kind - and not flimsy. And the color is vibrant and gorgeous!!
Great table at a great price!
Diana from Lincoln, NE– Verified Buyer
We love these tables! We bought them for our new center and they are sturdy and look very nice. They are the best price we found for kid's tables, too.
Great Product!!
Jtaylor from Greenvile, SC– Verified Buyer
I have a small child care center and looked at alot of tables on line and this one was the best price by far [...] Very sturdy, nice color and came quickly. my husband said the legs that screw in was not very good, the holes did not line up very well but was not a big deal. Great choice, love it!
Combining their responsibility to the community and their desire to be environmentally conscious, they have a program to reduce (or better yet, re-use) what they would normally dispose of... Early Childhood Resources has eliminated almost all of their cardboard waste by implementing commercial cardboard shredding equipment in its facilities to convert cardboard destined for the landfill into some of the best packing material available.
Competition typically demands lower costs and with it, labor intense jobs are being exported faster and faster every year. Early Childhood Resources, being committed to "Maximum Value," balances the demands from the marketplace with the practicality and social values of finding ways to maximize the capabilities of those in our community with developmental disabilities, and want to work! The program provides a stimulating and developmentally enriching environment. These individuals gain valuable social and work skills while earning competitive wages, and creating "Maximum Value" in their products.

In February, Gov. Maggie Hassan presented a recommended budget to the legislature for FY 2014-15. The Legislative phase of the budget process began Feb. 15 and ends June 30. During this phase, both bodies of the legislature will review the agencies' requests and the governor's recommended budgets. They will compile a budget and present it to the governor for her signature.
At the March 7 forum an overview of past budgets and the proposed budget will be provided, and attendees will be able to ask questions of legislators and answer some of their questions. Bob Odell (Senate District 8), Marjorie A. Porter (Representative District 1) and Richard D. McNamara (Representative District 38) are expected to attend the forum. Other representatives may be able to attend, schedule permitting.
For more information, call Dick Loveland at 478-1344 or email@example.com.

News: D12's Bizarre Remembers Proof, "He Left Behind Some Very Big Shoes To Fill"
Sunday, Apr 11, 2010 10:17PM
D12's Bizarre has shared his thoughts on late rapper Proof's legacy in hip-hop as today marks the four-year anniversary of his passing.
From Bizarre's perspective, Proof set hip-hop standards for emcees from their city.
"Proof is Detroit hip-hop," he said in an interview. "He left behind some very big shoes to fill, so we're constantly dealing with his lost, and taking it head on. He is still missed to this day. If he was alive it'd be funny to see him interact with these new guys in the game. His pranks were legendary. Anybody could get it at any time. Honestly, we pranked reporters more than anybody else. We'd do stupid stuff like answer the door and be naked. We got away with a lot overseas...D12's future is dead set on keep pushing. Kuniva has a mixtape that's coming out soon, my album is finished, and we're all going to head back into the studio after this tour to work on a new album. Right now it's really about keeping the [D12] name and Proof's legacy going and just stay pushing." (XXL Mag)
Last year, Eminem talked about the loss of Proof.
"Right now, my music would probably be the same [if Proof was still alive," Em explained in an interview. "I think this is what Proof always wanted, was for me to go crazy again. My life would be different because I would still have him. Me and the guys, we got a bond, it's special. It's like, as far as the future of D12, we're gonna be back in the studio soon." (Rap City Special)
Biz recently said plans to drop a D12 album were still in tact.
"We're still recording the third album, and we just finished asong on Relapse 2 for Marshall's album," Bizarre said via phone. Tentatively titled "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Bizarre says the collaboration shows that despite major losses such as the death of co-founding member Proof, nothing can keep the group down. "We're still family, but everybody's got their own situations going on," he added. "No matter what y'all do, you can't hold D12 down. We've been through a lot of sh*t, but we're still gonna come back and recover." (Hip Hop DX)
Proof passed away four years ago in Detroit.
D12 rapper and longtime friend of Eminem, Proof, was shot and killed this morning at a Detroit club called 3C, located on the city's famed Eight Mile. Proof, born Deshaun Holton, was announced dead on arrival at Conner Creek Medical Center just after 5 a.m. He was thirty-two years old. Police were called to the scene in early this morning after reports of gunfire and fighting at the venue, which was operating illegally after-hours. Another unidentified, thirty-five-year-old man was also shot, and is listed in critical condition. An investigation into the incident is underway. (Rolling Stone)

VIDEO: Traffic plans for Hoylake Open Golf revealed
Updated 7:23pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in News By Craig Manning, Chief Reporter
A RAFT of measures designed to manage traffic flow during the Open Golf's return to Hoylake have been revealed.
The eyes of the world will be on Wirral in July, and no stone is being left unturned by organisers tasked with the mammoth job of ensuring the event runs hitch-free.
More than 230,000 people are expected to descend on the town, for an event that is worth more than £75m to the area.
Motorists coming through Wallasey Tunnel are now greeted to the borough by a sign reading 'Welcome to Wirral - home of the Open 2014'.
During a press conference at Wallasey Town Hall this morning Mark Camborne, Wirral council's lead officer for Open Golf Planning, said: "The traffic management plan is similar to that of 2006. Feedback from 2006 was that the traffic management measures worked incredibly well. So, we see no reason to change them.
"Our message to visitors is please make use of public transport.
"Ninety-nine percent of the population in Hoylake are in support of the event. There are people who don't like golf.
"We are keen to assure them that we are protecting residential roads by implementing these traffic measures.
"There will be various road signs in place that will alter the road landscape of Wirral. Protecting the main route through Hoylake is a key part of our red route philosophy.
"I have attended four public meetings in Hoylake and we have been working with businesses to reassure them it will be business as usual for them."
Among the plans is the provision of three main routes into Hoylake.
The first, for use mainly by buses and coaches, will take traffic along the M53, through Moreton and towards Hoylake.
Junction two will take motorists along Saughall Massie Road to a public car park in Heron Lane, Meols.
Junction three will take drivers to the main parking area in Hilbre School in Newton and Greasby Road. A team of 100 volunteer marshals will be recruited to ensure the traffic measures are adhered to.
In Hoylake there will be no parking on either side of Market Street or Birkenhead Road.
This restriction will be in place from midday on Saturday, July 12 to Tuesday, July 22. Access to Stanley Road will also be restricted during this time.
On The Kings Gap it will be one-way traffic only for traffic from the roundabout at Meols Drive to Stanley Road.
On Barton Road, there will be one-way traffic along its full length between Beach Road and The King's Gap.
Permits will be issued to all residents of Stanley Road, Beach Road, Barton Road, Barton Close, Penrhos Road, St Margaret's Road, Courtenay Road, Curzon Road, Cromer Road, The Royal, Coronation Road and King's View. Cars parked illegally in the town will be towed to a secure compound for collection.
On the issue of parking permits, Mark Camborne continued: "Residents' parking during the Open is a very sensitive issue.
"I have no doubt that people will write in to local press about this in the run up.
"Last time it was one or two who complained, and I expect it will be the same this time."
An information centre will be set up at the town hall chambers in The Quadrant, Market Street in the summer, to deal with residents' enquiries on traffic management measures.

The room had a weird funky smell. No fan in the bathroom. Lighting is poor. This is our second stay here in 2 weeks. The WIFI wasn't working 2 weeks ago and is still not working. HBO is not working. When I called the desk to ask for info and help with these things, I was told...."oh, the WIFI is working and HBO is working."
That's all.....no follow up ....nothing.
This used to be a good motel. Now...not so much.
We won't be staying here again AND my husband's company will be told NOT to recommend this shoddy place.

A good sign, Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe is sore
Originally published: Mar 4, 2014 - 1:27 pm
The subject of the meeting, just prior to the end of shootaround, was point guard Eric Bledsoe.
"We were discussing how Eric's progression is going; just discussing kind of the schedule of how we're going to handle it going forward," Hornacek said.
Bledsoe's progress is going very well.
His rehabilitation from knee surgery has advanced to include limited five-on-five scrimmaging, which he participated in Monday for the second time in three days.
"He was a little sore today, but that's good," Hornacek said Tuesday. "You know that if you're getting sore -- it's almost like a training camp situation. These guys can work out in summer, not get sore and in training camp it's a different level of intensity that makes your muscles sore. To me, it's a sign that he's putting the effort out there in the practice and going hard because he is sore. I think that's a good sign."
Bledsoe, who was unavailable for comment, had surgery on January 10. He has not experienced any pain or swelling, but after several weeks of inactivity, "body soreness like training camp soreness," where your muscles ache, according to Hornacek, was to be anticipated.
Bledsoe is expected to play five-on-five again on Wednesday.
There remains no definitive timetable for his return, though it would appear he is getting closer.
"Kind of leave it up to him when he feels like, �hey, I can go.' He has to feel comfortable with that time," Hornacek said. "If we tell him this is the day you're playing and he isn't ready for that day, then that can be a problem.
"It's kind of up to Eric when he comes back."

The lead singer for Staind stopped the grunge rock band's concert Saturday to berate concertgoers who were inappropriately touching a crowd-surfing teenage fan.
Aaron Lewis interrupted the band's performance of "Something To Remind You" during Rockfest in Kansas City to make an announcement.
"Alright, listen up, you f*cking *ssholes," Lewis said. "That f*cking girl right there is, like, 15 f*cking years old, and you f*cking pieces of sh*t are molesting her while she's on the f*cking crowd."
Video shot by a concertgoer captured the singer's rant, which was cheered by the crowd as the girl apparently continues crowd-surfing.
"Your f*cking mothers should be ashamed of themselves, you pieces of sh*t," Lewis continued. "You should all be f*cking beaten down by everyone around you for being f*cking pieces of sh*t. If I f*cking see that sh*t again, I swear to God, I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your f*cking *ss."
A Reddit user claimed Lewis made similar comments about two years ago, during an X-fest concert, when a man tried to pull off the sweatpants of a young woman who was crowd-surfing.

St. Patrick's Day is too great a holiday to celebrate only once a year. So the House of Blues is throwing a Halfway to St. Patrick's Day Party that you won't want to miss. Providing the music will be the Young Dubliners, a popular group that fuses traditional Irish folk songs with modern rock. With anthemic hits like "Rosie" and "Buy You a Life" drawing comparisons to The Pogues and U2, and an energetic live show on par with Phish and the Dave Mathews Band, the Young Dubliners are sure to entertain. The hard-working group has twice appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and shared the stage with the likes of Jethro Tull, Chris Isaak and Great Big Sea, to name a few. There will also be Irish drink specials, powered by Jameson, and plenty of Guinness on tap. Also performing will be special guests King Washington. Learn More

Downtown Disney House of Blues was crazy hot. I needed a shower by the time of intermission. I was dripping with sweat. But at least I was not a band member baking under the stage lights.Foreverland info • Jul 26 2014 star this tip starred
Most important...House of Blues is standing room only so take care of the tootsies. Wear comfortable shoes with alot of cusioning. I know those hooker shows are super popular these days but most of the heffers that wore them there were looking for a place to park it or were standing barefoot in sticky floor.Foreverland info • Jul 26 2014 star this tip starred

Featured review from Jerry Rubinstein
view more less of this review
The seating at the venue was terrible. There were only a dozen seats in the whole club that had unobstructed views. They gave us seats because I'm recovering from two heart surgeries and have to use a walker. However, we couldn't see 1/4 of the stage from our seats. The group Arrival was mediocre at best. The drums were so loud we couldn't hear the vocalists. Except for the woman who played Agnetha, the other performers looked bored and uninvolved. There was none of the back-and-forth banter that made ABBA famous and so charismatic. Plus, they left out 3 of their best songs: "Fernando", "Thank you for the Music" & "I Have a Dream" in favor of some unknown tunes. It was a very disappointing performance.

Union Oyster House
Union Oyster House Review
Billed as the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the United States, the Union Oyster House first opened its doors as the Atwood & Bacon Oyster House in 1826. Charles Forster of Maine was the first American to use the curious invention of the toothpick on these premises. And John F. Kennedy was also among its patrons; his favorite booth has been dedicated to his memory. The charming facade is constructed of Flemish bond brick and adorned with Victorian-style signage. With its scallop, clam, and lobster dishes—as well as the de rigueur oyster—the menu hasn't changed much since the restaurant's early days (though the prices have).

You first encountered Teddy, the sharkskin-suited maître d'hôtel, on the sidewalk. If you got past him, Steve Paul was at the door to insult you.Steve Paul was an iconoclast and general NYC music scene legend. Rest in peace, Steve.
The insult, usually devilishly clever, was the cover charge to one of New York City's hottest, most intriguing clubs in the 1960s. It was called the Scene, and it was the brainchild of the dashing, idiosyncratic Mr. Paul, who was 23 when he opened it in 1964. It became famous for brilliant moments in the history of rock music, as the place where Jimi Hendrix and the Doors shaped the music of the '60s in inspired jam sessions.
Mr. Paul, who went on to manage Johnny Winter and other rock stars and record them for his own label, died at 71 on Sunday at a hospital in Queens. His friend Tariq Abdus-Sabur said the cause was not yet known. -[NY Times]

|Great Amplifier
Review by
Kenneth from Cornville, AZ
I bought this amp to push two Precision Power BI.124 in a ported box and it does great job and I am very pleased. My only complaint is the Phillips connectors....all in all though...nice product. Once again...many thanks to Cyle!

Review by
shawn from athabasca, AB, Canada
its pretty good for the price.
it kinda lies about the rms output though. i had a smaller amp before. with this amp the power for it is almost at full for same effect as the other one at 1/2.
no issues with it over heating or blowing up which is a good start.
i still have not been able to get the bass control unit to work though...

Based on the hit tv show created by Mark Burnett and broadcasted on CBS/Global.
A group of 20 - 30 strangers are stranded on an island somewhere around South America, Asia or Africa. The strangers are split into two tribes with even numbers. The two tribes must compete in Reward and Immunity Challenges. Halfway through the game, the tribes merge into one tribe and everyone must compete for themselves.
Reward Challenge - Tribes compete to win items to make camp life easier and more comfortable (Matches for fire, blankets to sleep with, chairs to sit on) towards the end of the game, these rewards mostly consist of a relaxing dinner in one of the island's most beautiful spots with a single winner being allowed to take 1 - 4 people with them on the reward.
Immunity Challenge - Tribes compete for power in this game. Whichever tribe has the golden power of Immunity will not have to go to Tribal Council and vote off one of their own. Immunity Challenges are usually more grueling and physically challenging than Reward Challenges. After the merge, Tribes will no longer compete for immunity and survivors must compete for individual immunity. The single survivor who wins Immunity cannot be voted out but the rest are fair game. The winner of individual immunity has an option to give their immunity necklace to another survivor but doing so would make the former immunity winner vulnerable to being voted off.
Immunity Idols - Little idols spread throughout the tribe campsites. For some reward challenges, tribes will receive a special clue as to where the immunity idols are hidden. Players must follow the clues and be as sneaky as possible to hide the idols from their tribe. If a player finds an immunity idol, they can use it to negate all votes cast against them for one tribal council. They can also give the immunity idol to someone else to use. Usually 2 - 3 immunity idols hidden. If a player is voted off, in possesion of an unused their immunity idol, the idol will be hidden on the island again for others to find.
Tribal Council - The tribe that loses the immunity challenge will have to go to Tribal Council to vote off one of their own. The event of a tie will result in a firemaking challenge in which the loser of said challenge will leave. It usually requires 4 votes to vote off a person. Immunity idols can be used to negate votes. People who have immunity cannot be voted for.
Redemption Island - When two people have been voted off in Tribal Council they will be sent to Redemption Island to duel for the right to stay. The winner of the duel will stay at Redemption Island to wait for their next challenger. The loser will go home - this time for good and cannot be brought back again.
1)No immature behavior such as stealing someone else's immunity idol or sabotaging camp
2)Please not too much arguing
3)Romance is alright but is generally discouraged
4)Please do not be unnecessarily mean to someone who is not in your alliance.
5)Please respect your fellow players and the rules.
I am looking for people to brainstorm challenges with, so I appreciate any and all help. I apologize if somebody else already had one, I didn't mean to copy you.
The two tribes used in this game will be the two from Survivor:The Austrailian Outback:Kucha and Ogakor. Most tribes must have an equal amount of people.

Find and book great restaurantsFind a Restaurant
More details have been announced about the new restaurant from Stevie Parle, the chef behind Dock Kitchen in Ladbroke Grove and presenter of Channel 4's Spice Trip.
Opening in the spot formerly occupied by Kingsland Curries on Kingsland Road, Sardine will be a southern Italian restaurant with the likes of fish stew and sage-and-lemon lamb chops on the menu. The 100-cover restaurant will initially open for dinner only during the week, but also for lunch at weekends.
Sardine is backed by Rushmore Group's Jonathan Downey, who is behind street-food organisation Street Feast as well as cocktail bars Milk & Honey, Danger of Death and Giant Robot. Ruth Spivey, who created the recent Wine Car Boot events, will be in charge of wine at the venture, while it is expected that Downey will be involved in the cocktails.
Sardine is due to open in March.

As more and more white unions gained entrance into the AFL, more and more Negroes lost jobs and the opportunity to enter others. Astute observers of the time noted that Negroes were being excluded from occupations which they once held under slavery, that Negroes were being segregated into separate locals in trades where whites and Blacks formerly worked side by side, and that the economic plight of the Black was growing worse while unionism advanced.

Life is like a game of chess and checkers. Many of us play checkers. And many of us think we're playing chess, but, in practice, we're actually playing checkers. So it should be of no surprise to any of you when I say, most poor people play checkers, prisoners in particular. Now what does this analogy imply? Most people make decisions in life without thinking ahead or assessing the ramifications of their decisions, especially prisoners!

The Scottsboro Boys have been vindicated, but there are many more waiting in the wings – waiting for justice. It is often said that justice delayed is justice denied. Many years have passed in so many unresolved civil rights crimes and injustices. And if no one is prepared to step up and pursue these cases, we must wonder if justice will ever come.

Oakland may seem like a local anomaly with its big increase in homicides in 2011-12 and the anti-crime hysteria which now engulfs it. But Oakland is just a prime example of the intertwining of crime and criminalization under capitalism, in which the ruling class divides working people one from another and targets particular groups for victimization.

In 1989 the California Department of Corrections opened Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP). Their primary stated reason for its construction was to reduce prison violence by isolating "alleged" gang leaders and members, but contrary to their stated purpose, prison violence has both rapidly and dramatically increased. California prisons are more violent now than before the opening of Pelican Bay.

Nitro tap at Pratt Street Ale House. I'd have to agree with the other reviews so far of the wrong class. Pretty sure it was listed at the Ale House as a Golden Ale. Onto the review...
Appearance: This a quite a little beauty golden ale with a creamy white head.
Light caramel malt and english hops make for balanced aroma. It also smelled a little yeasty
The flavor was a great balance of English hops with a bit of creamy caramel malt that mixes in well. Pretty fantastic example of the style. Exceptionally creamy and smooth all the way through the finish.

On cask at Max's today.
The beer pours an orangy gold color with OK head retention and minimal lacing. Don't get a whole lot on the nose, just some orange candy and sweet ice tea. Flavors on the palate mostly show some light sweet malt, that quickly is pushed aside by some light bitterness. The finish in on the dry side, and the low carbonation in this case can't disguise the thin mouthfeel. It's not quite what I would describe as watery, but certainly I'd like to see a bit more flavor in this one. Drinkability is OK, as one would expect given the abv., but there just isn't enough flavor to describe this as really drinkable.
Mehhhh... an OK beer, but nothing to get too excited about either. Interestingly, the Oliver's biere de garde is described on the menu as a farmhouse ale, while this is described as a biere de garde. Whatever...

On nitro-tap at Pratt St. Ale House on 11/20/10. I don't believe this was listed as a Biere de Garde on their beer menu, but rather a Golden Ale.
A - The light amber/orange liquid cascaded to reveal a wall of bubbles and a finger's worth of creamy off-white head that transformed into thick, attractive lacing around the edges of the glass.
S - The temperature of the liquid was a bit too cold at first, which prevented me from getting a really good initial whiff. At first, some buttery diacetyl and faint muted hop character emerged, giving the ale a somewhat sweet and non-descript aroma. As it warmed up a bit, a hint of grass and citrus peel emerged.
T - Flavor opens with a sweet malt character suggesting caramel, toffee and butterscotch, then switches gears a bit to reveal a slight grassy and citrusy hop character. There is a faint buttery presence, which doesn't really detract from the flavor too much. Finishes with a moderate herbal hop bite.
M - Medium bodied with a smooth nitro mouthfeel that is perhaps a tad watery but pleasant nonetheless. Finishes with a semi-dry, moderate lingering bitterness on the palate.
D - Pretty good hoppy English-style ale with a pleasant lingering bitterness that never gets too heavy-handed.

Being from Chicago, it's perhaps unsurprising that Dance Mania legend DJ Deeon has been inspired by the sounds of footwork. This EP for the party-hearty chaps at Booty Call doffs a cap to the footwork phenomenon, offering sped-up 808 jams with a variety of cheeky, X-rated hip-hop vocal samples (see "Get Buk", "I Heard" and "Drop Pop Shake It"). There's also a foray into the world of B-more (with, of course, plenty of cheap-sounding juke synth stabs) in the shape of "I Told You So", and a curious 4/4 electro/jackin' house jam, "Lightspeed". Curiously, it's probably the strongest cut on an EP full of tried-and-tested party bangers.

Moisture problems often develop in bathrooms when homeowners refuse to use noisy bath fans. The solution: fans rated at 1.5 sones or less. We survey the options.
Kitchen heating solutions
Simple pressure test for ductwork
For small, tight houses and apartments, full-blown mechanical ventilation systems may be overkill. Here's a tested approach that uses an upgraded bath fan, a programmable timer, and a few air inlets to guarantee fresh air at minimal cost.
Mechanical ventilation doesn't have to be expensive and complicated. This simple system has dried up moisture problems for one builder.
In a tight house, kitchen and bath exhaust fans can interfere with the natural draft of chimney-vented heating equipment. An energy expert explains how power vents and combustion air supply ducts can solve the problem.
Tight construction is now standard practice, and though it makes the house more energy-efficient, it can create serious indoor air quality problems. Three energy specialists team up to explain how to test for tightness and improve ventilation.
