You complain of waste disposal not picking up garbage on a cold day and those children had to walk to school. Are your servants expected to hang on the back of a truck...while children can't be dressed properly to walk 15-45 minutes to get educated? You complain of the snow removal crews clearing snow routes and some snow fills your approach...get a snow blower.
I want to thank Kent Bush. Some of us aren't able to be at the City Council meetings or have cable tv. Thanks to Ron Reavis and Paul Belt for standing up for their constituents and not on the fence. And the City Manager needs to realize that he's not in California anymore. He's in Kansas!
Concerning the truck issue at City Council - it should not have been in the consent agenda. Because it was coming in over budget, there needed to be discussion. The council works for the residents and the city manager works for the council.
It is nice to know that Kent Bush has our back and is telling it like it is? We wouldn't know anything if the press wasn't informing us. Some of us can't meetings on television or drop by city hall to try to find out.
Well, well, well, we had a good city manager - one who was as transparent as glass - and you got rid of him. Better hold on, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

OK...this was the single biggest mistake the Bucs made in the last decade. I say McKay, but you seem to infer Monte.
I think Indy moved Booger to NT......why didn't the Bucs try that on a regular basis ? I asked that question at the beginning of the season. Not sure about Sapp's situation in Oakland.
The problem was 'AND' is that Booger was getting paid like an UT. If anyone remembers (and is willing to admit) both Booger and HOvan were a large part of the Bucs 'great' run defense in 2005. So this theory that the Bucs coaches cant get enough out of players is wrong. The Bucs got everything out of BOoger that the Colts are getting, the only problem was/is that in the Tampa 2 the UT position plays a very important role in everything that goes in during a pass play and Booger couldn't execute his assignment there. For Indianapolis, his lack of pass rushing wa sless of an issue because he was being asked to do what he is good at, and clog the run. They got pass rush out of their DEs, and Booger essentially replaced the wide-wodied Corey Simon. The reality of it is, Booger was an overpaid NT playing the 3 technique in Tampa and is an overpaid NT playing the 1 technique for Indy. He is playing no better or worse than he was playing in Tampa, and both Booger and Sapp were surrounded by premier coaching in Tampa and they would probably be the first ones to tell you taht they saw their best years in Tampa and the best coaching they ever received was in Tampa.

Follow @eFatwa
The dream of the Custodian of the Prophet's Chamber
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:It is mentioned therein the advice from Makkah al-Mukarramah that al-Haaj 'Abdullaah ibn Mustafaa said:
"I was asleep and saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) commanding me to spread this message to the Muslims with mutual co-operation and firm belief; Whomsoever reads this message, then he is required to write it 8 times (i.e. make 8 copies and distribute them), and whoever does not spread (this message) then he will be punished with illness. And whoever spreads (this message) then he will (be given cause to) be delighted after 10 days.
And if I am lying, then may I die upon the religion of disbelief (kufr)."
Is this statement true or a lie?
Are the people who go and visit the dome, carrying with them a chicken or a female sheep (ewe) and then slaughter it by the dome wherein lies the deceased, saying that the deceased is a marabout[1]; Is this halaal or haraam?
Response: Firstly, this dream is falsehood. There is no source to (confirm) it's (authenticity with respect to the teachings of the Qur.aan and the authentic) Sunnah; It is from the type of dream attributed to the custodian of the Prophet's Chamber (in Madeenah), and the Noble Shaykh, 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz has already written a comprehensive refutation which has been published in the local (Saudi) newspapers and elsewhere.
Secondly, circumambulating around the graves is prohibited, and if he intended by it to (spiritually) draw near to the deceased (lying therein) then this is (classified as) major shirk which renders him out of the fold of Islaam; Because (the physical act of) circumambulating is an (act of) worship, as Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:
{...and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka'bah at Makkah)}, Soorah al-Hajj, Aayah 29
...and performing an act of worship or anything of it for other than Allaah is shirk.
Thirdly, offering a sacrifice by the grave side is prohibited, and if he intended by it to (spiritually) draw near to the deceased lying in the grave, then it is (classified as) major shirk, as Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:
{Say (O Muhammad [sal-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam]): "Verily, my Salaah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the 'Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). "He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims."}, Soorah al-An'aam, Aayah 162-163
And an-Nusuk (the sacrifice), is the slaughter, as the Prophet's (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:
((Allaah has cursed the one who slaughters for other than (the name of) Allaah)), transmitted by Muslim.
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

P.S. from Aeropostale opens at the Prime Outlets
If anybody knows me well, they know that I adore shopping. I Adore outlets and I ADORE a great deal!!! Outlet shopping is the best because you never know what you might find.
When Shelley and I were asked to come to the Grand Opening Party for P.S. for Aeropostale ( WHICH is pronounced Aero-post-ale FYI ) , I jumped at the chance.
When you walk into the store, you are immediately blown away at the bright and light and open space of a store that is packed full of kids clothes. The Displays were eye catching and the words written on the walls were adorable.

A Tucson man who police say downloaded and shared child pornography files faces 18 years in federal prison.
Billy Dewayne Mills,
34, pleaded guilty to knowing access of child pornography on March 7 and was
sentenced on September 17.
His prison sentence
will be followed by a term of lifetime supervised release with stringent sex
offender conditions, including registration as a sex offender, authorities said.
Tucson Department of
Homeland Security Agents discovered Mills used a file-sharing program to
download and distribute child pornography.
He was convicted in Missouri
for possession of child pornography in 2008, and of first degree child
molestation in 2000, according to a news release.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Naomi Campbell, who once famously told Playboy magazine, "I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out. I work very hard and I am worth every cent," revealed on Oprah yesterday that she does the master cleanse at least three times a year these days, sometimes for 18 days straight. Well, that explains those aggression issues. [Guardian]
In other "how do they stay so trim?" news, Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity to touch on her dieting secrets, which appear to be as simple as portion control. "If you can learn to not eat till your stomach feels full and gross, then you can pretty much control your life in that area," she told Marie Claire U.K. Not exactly an endorsement for healthy eating, but not nearly as controversial as Kate Moss' "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." That really seemed to rub people the wrong way. [Huff Po]
Even big beauty brands fall victim to Facebook's way of making you measure your worth in your number of friend requests. A new list is out detailing the ten least popular brands when it comes to social networking. Oh, the shame! [Independent]
Kate's Moss' comment was taken completely out of context. Right after that part of the sentence, she said "at least that's what I tell myself". No one bothered paying attention to what she actually meant because they love to use her as a scapegoat.

5Blind Item: Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds or Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake?
From Blind Gossip:
She is pregnant! No, they haven't announced it yet. She looks great, but she isn't showing.
No, we don't know if she got pregnant before or after. The timing is interesting, though. Just a few months ago, he told his friends that although they got along, he really didn't see her as the girl he wanted to marry.
Did she know that? His friends think she did… and planned the pregnancy to force the marriage issue. They think she knows how important family is to them, and that this was all a grand manipulation on her part. If not for the pregnancy, they think he would have made a different choice.
In any case, it's a good thing that they both love kids. Their first one will arrive the middle of next year.
What do you guys think? See, I feel it could be Ryan and Blake because it sounds like the pregnancy thing has been a thing for awhile. And Blake and Ryan have been married longer than Jess and Justin, too, so there's that. But I'm also pretty sure that Ryan was solidly into Blake even before they decided to marry, and there probably wouldn't have been much coercion involved in getting him to the altar. Justin and Jessica, however? Well. We've all heard those stories before, and even now, Jessica Biel pregnancy rumors are flying around left and right. I guess if I absolutely had to choose, I'd say this has Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake all over it. Thoughts?
October 25, 2012 at 4:30 pm by Sarah
5 Responses to "Blind Item: Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds or Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake?"
I don't think it's Blake and Ryan. Rumour has it they got engaged early this year. They bought a house and started visiting Charleston around that time. Justin and Jessica have been engaged for awhile too, haven't they? It's probably a made up BI, or another couple.
I think it's definitely Blake & Ryan – pro them: sudden surprise wedding and, why would Ryan want to get married so soon after his last divorce? Plus, we all know how much Blake wanted an (A list) husband and kids. And there have been lots of rumours this year that she's been putting on weight either to prep for pregnancy, or (more recently) because she is pregnant.
Why it's not Bielake: Literally JUST got married, so not time for the 'did it happen before or after', plus they've been engaged for way too long for this to be a shot-gun.
That is IF the BI is true..
This is one of the most ridiculous blind items I've ever read. The bride got pregnant before OR after the wedding? If the wedding came after, or before they know she was pregnant, how can it be considered a shotgun wedding?
There's been a lot of celeb marriages recently. I think you're assuming one of the women might be pregs so you want the blind out there. This is probably the case with most blinds.
This BI does not make sense.
If the alleged couple did not know it happened "before or after" how can it be shotgun?
I hope it's BS. Any woman who thinks getting knocked up is going to magically make the guy the perfect husband is delusional beyond all belief.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Ahead of OS X Lion, Mac App Store Sales Numbers Still Comparably Small
In the last six months, something incredible has happened. In the last six months, the Mac App Store has now become the #1 PC software channel for buying software. That's incredible.But questions have remained about just how successful the Mac App Store has been, given the smaller installed base compared to iOS and long-standing alternative methods for purchasing software.
Developer Martin Schultz has, however, now provided a look at sales figures for his Hard Rock Racing app, which managed to peak as the #3 paid game and #14 overall paid app in the U.S. earlier this month after being featured by Apple in the "New and Noteworthy" section on the front page of the Mac App Store. According to Schultz, that stellar ranking translated into only 743 sales on the peak day.
While that one-day performance resulted in a solid $2,500 payday for Schultz after Apple's 30% cut of revenue, it's clear that Mac App Store sales fall far short of those seen for iOS apps. We spoke with John Casasanta of iOS developer taptaptap, who shared that his Camera+ application typically pulls in 8,000-12,000 downloads per day when it is ranked around #14 in the overall paid apps for the iOS App Store. Of course, 743 sales on peak day may be better than Schultz might have done through traditional channels or direct online sales. The average sales price for iOS apps also appears to be much lower than Mac Apps, which may also contribute to the volume discrepancy.
Apple is of course working hard to drive adoption of the Mac App Store, opting to distribute its forthcoming OS X Lion exclusively through the store. The company has also released its new Final Cut Pro X apps and other titles such as Aperture, iWork, and iLife through the store. With the Mac App Store set to take on an even larger role in OS X Lion with the addition of such features as in-app purchases and push notifications, Apple is clearly pushing forward in its attempts to replicate the success of the iOS App Store on the Mac platform.
Top Rated Comments(View all)
there are millions of Mac users who are in the same boat as me.
and i'm not going to "upgrade" to Snow Leopard just to get Lion. such a ridiculous upgrade path.
It's a sign of the times. The focus is on mobile and mobile apps.
Post-PC era, folks.
Most of the development is going into mobile platforms. The Mac, while popular and able to hold its own, isn't one.
It isn' that there's a problem with the Mac App Store paradigm - hell, the App Store model works for mobile. The issue is that there is a shift in focus tailing place industry-wide and market-wide when it comes to consumer-grade products and services.
Your posts disgust me.
I've only bought 1 item off of the Mac App Store. It was Reeder and I only got it to support the developer.
Other than that, I'll get Lion and likely never use it again. I think piracy is still a huge issue.
What are your reasons for not using it? Don't purchase/download software on a regular basis?
I am sure it will gain heavy traction after Lion is being used everywhere, and people start buying new Macs w/ Lion preinstalled.
I prefer downloading the MAS version of apps if they exist, much easier for updates/installations. No DMGs to worry about discarding of.
Obviously I'll use it for 10.7 because I'm forced to, but overall I am going to continue pursuing other methods of purchase.
Your posts disgust me.
Could not agree more.
The other sizable source of revenue for the iOS store is the games market. I'm not gaming on my Mac Mini when I'm at my desk -- if I'm at home, its either on my windows box or my 360.
There's a false equivalency if you want to compare Mac App Store sales versus iOS App Store sales.
It's also useless for a work environment when you have computers that can't be allowed to have access to the internet! i.e. our edit suites that we can't put Final Cut X onto because it has to be downloaded using a machine that doesn't have and will never have a Apple email account with credit card details attached to it. They also have to remain on 10.6.4 for compatibility reasons with other systems they are networked to. :mad:
Theres some software I need but can't get because they are on the damn App Store! Even freeware which is worse. :confused:

Florida State lost to Gonzaga 67-60 last night in Buffalo. The season is done.
The two obvious factors in this game were Gonzaga's tremendous shooting and the refs. The men in stripes called the game tighter than a-- well, you know what. Alabi and Singleton were quickly on the bench and it became obvious that the refs, 2 of whom hailed from the Horizon and Atlantic Sun conferences were not going to allow physical play. Add to that Gonzaga, already a good shooting team, shot the lights out in the first half.
As you can see, Gonzaga shot the lights out. Only 5 times this season did an opponent have a better offensive game against the Noles: @ Ohio State, @ Duke, Maryland, @ Clemson, and the NC STate game. Gonzaga's 53.6% shooting was incredible. But what really stands out is that Gonzaga shot 10 more free throws than Florida State. FSU needed Chris Singleton and Solomon Alabi to have big games and the refs just didn't allow for physical play, quickly calling 2 fouls on each. Within the first few minutes of the game it was clear to see Florida State was in trouble. This team isn't made to play a non-contact game of horse. For its part, Florida State had it's best ball-handling game of the year, turning the ball over only 12.5% of the time. And FSU was tremendous on the defensive glass, grabbing a rebound on 78% of Gonzaga's misses. But give Gonzaga credit. They were the better team for the style of play that was allowed last night in Buffalo.
With that said, give Gonzaga credit for taking advantage of its opportunities and having a shooting performance for the ages.
While this loss hurts, this season has to be considered a success when measured against pre-season expectations. We'll have more later in the coming weeks, but the future of this team looks bright and FSU has to be considered squarely in the top half of ACC basketball programs.

The economy is really only part of the issue here. The real story, based on the research we've done is demographic. The demographic stars are simply no longer aligned for hyper-retail concepts in North America. Half of all Baby Boomers are over 55, Gen X is smaller and more financially challenged and GenY area moving target with severe unemployment issues. Add this to the fact that tastes and preferences are more diverse than at any time in the last 40 years and it all makes for trouble for big box concepts.
The push to urban markets too is being driven by shifts in demographics and population distribution.
When you combine this historic demographic shift we've experienced with the inordinate economic growth of the last 30-40 years, it forms a set of circumstances that are virtually unrepeatable -at least in our lifetime.
Big retail will survive but not on this continent.

At ABCNews: 3,200 PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED UNDERGROUND AFTER AN ACCIDENT AT A SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINE, HARMONY GOLD CEO CONFIRMS IN A TELEVISION INTERVIEW
This just moved on the AP wire: JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — A water pipe burst and probably caused a gold-mine shaft to collapse, trapping some 3,000 workers underground, the mineworkers' union said.
UPDATE: News24 in South Africa: Johannesburg - More than 3 000 mineworkers spent more than 11 hours trapped underground in the Elandsrand mine, near Carletonville, on Wednesday after a falling pipe column cut the power to the lift used to hoist them to the surface.
"Nobody was injured, but there was extensive damage to the steel work and electrical feeder cords," said Harmony Gold spokesperson Amelia Soares.
Workers above ground were trying to reconfigure a second cage - usually used to carry waste - to rescue the trapped workers.
While it was expected the lift would be working in two hours, the rescue operation itself would "take quite a while" as the cage could bring only 300 workers to the surface every half hour, she said.
UPDATE II: Some 3,200 workers are trapped in a gold mine near Johannesburg, in South Africa.
Early reports said a burst water pipe had probably caused a shaft to collapse at Elandsrand Mine in Carletonville.
But the mine's management company has said an electrical cable on a lift carrying workers to the surface had snapped.
A spokeswoman for Harmony Gold, the world's fifth biggest gold producer, said the workers at the mine were about 7,200 feet below the surface.
UPDATE III: From the BBC: The accident happened at about 0800 GMT and there has been no communication with the miners since then, she said.
UPDATE IV: AP in Johannesburg is now on it.
I just saw that they've gotten most of the workers out of the mine and should have everyone out in the next couple of hours. I am so relieved! Thank you to everyone involved in the rescue.

Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson broke his elbow and will be in a small cast for the next six to eight weeks. Patterson suffered the injury getting out of his car at a fundraising event last week. The recent injury comes about a year after Patterson was involved in a major car accident, from which he is still recovering from some of those injuries. He goes to physical therapy three times a week and occasionally is seen using a wheel chair. "One of the lingering effects of the accident is a loss of equilibrium. Bam - I feel myself fall, and I reach for the door ... and [it's] beyond my reach. It was one of those surreal moments where you could actually see the pavement coming up, and you knew you were going to hit it so you had nothing to condition your fall. Bam. Bam. My shoulder hit, my elbow hit, then my head hit," Patterson explains to Fox 2. He added the pain from this fall was as bad as when he broke his hip.

A Vancouver man is in the hospital after a car backed into him and then took off.
The strange crash happened along State Route 14 near Lieser Road around 2:30 a.m.
The victim was only a few minutes away from home when that car slammed into him.
It was supposed to be a quick drive home from work but Steve Johnson says on the drive home, his car started to give him some electrical problems, so he pulled over near mile post 4.
"I waited for the traffic to go by, stepped out, popped my hood open and when I popped the hood open I heard someone come up next to the car fairly close," said Johnson.
Johnson said the car pulled up ahead of him and he thought it was there to help.
"I was working under the hood and I was between my car and that car and then they threw it in reverse and pretty much hit me at probably close to 20 mph and pinned me between the two cars," added Johnson.
That's when Johnson yelled as he fell to the ground hitting his head on the car's bumper.
He says he watched as the car moved up about 50 yards and waited for a second, before it took off.
"I couldn't get on my feet and had to drag myself around the car and into SR 14 traffic to get back into the car," Johnson said.
Johnson now has a broken leg and other bruises.
The crash was so odd he isn't sure what to make of it.
"I think someone was intoxicated, maybe they meant well and stopped to help me out but maybe misjudged it or was misguided it, or whatever," said Johnson.
He is now trying to get better and understand how someone could just hit him and then take off.
"I work hard just like everybody else and I have a kid at home. I work my butt off to keep myself taken care of and I wish you would have stopped," said Johnson.
The car had tinted windows and Johnson said so he couldn't see the driver.
The car was similar to a late 1990s Ford Mustang that was either green or teal in color and had Washington plates.
Troopers are looking for witnesses who may have seen the whole thing happen. If you have any information on this case or recognize the car you're asked to call Washington State Patrol at 360-449-7999.

Yeovil Town striker Paddy Madden moves to Scunthorpe United
Updated 10:20am Friday 10th January 2014 in Sport By Michael Marsh
YEOVIL Town striker Paddy Madden has joined Scunthorpe United for an 'undisclosed' fee.
The 23-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the League Two club.
Madden, a Republic of Ireland international, was transfer listed in November after falling out of favour at the Glovers.
During his time at Huish Park, the former Carlisle man made 44 appearances, scoring 23 goals, including the opener in the League One Play-off final against Brentford.
But since promotion to the Championship, Madden has only made nine league appearances and has failed to score.
Manager Gary Johnson told the club's official website: "I am as disappointed as anyone else that things haven't worked out this season for Paddy for whatever reason.
"These things happen in football and we all move on.
"I would like to thank Paddy for his service to our football club and we all wish him well for the future."

Hazardous winter weather is arriving on Michiana's doorsteps.
Heavy snow and extremely low temperatures are expected to create dangerous weather situations, Indiana Department of Homeland Security officials said Saturday.
IDHS officials suggest resident prepare for these conditions by:
• Purchasing a weather radio with a backup hand crank or battery power option to keep updated in the event of a power outage. Weather radios are commonly found at local hardware, home improvement or discount stores.
• Purchasing non-perishable food items and bottled water for both the home and any vehicles. Food that does not need to be cooked can go a long way in a power outage.
• Checking all medications and consider filling prescriptions, if possible. Travel to a pharmacy once snow, wind and low temperatures arrive may be hazardous.
• Having extra blankets in addition to coats or jackets, socks and other warm clothing in vehicles and homes. Keep a flashlight with extra batteries nearby.
Vehicle prep
Just like the home, it is important to prepare vehicles for severe winter weather conditions, IDHS officials said. Again, take steps before weather arrives to ensure the safety of vehicles.
• Fill the gas tanks of all vehicles you own. Low temperatures can quickly freeze gas lines, especially if the tank is near empty.
• If necessary, run the vehicle's engine for a few minutes as needed throughout the day. This helps keep the engine and fuel lines warm and prevents freezing.
• Gather preparedness supplies for vehicles in case travel is necessary. Such supplies should include bottled water, extra blankets, a flashlight with extra batteries, and chargers for cell phones and mobile devices.
While traveling
Homeland Security officials caution motorists to be aware of their surroundings and know of road conditions before traveling.
Monitor local media throughout the day to keep up to date on the latest weather forecast. Local media will also provide reports on school and business closures. Many media outlets and the National Weather Service have notification systems that work with smart phones.

i haven't been meditating. but wearing my mala makes me feel centered, and i find myself saying my mantra in my head when i'm walking down the hallway, or washing my hands. it makes me feel good, and like i've been taking care of myself.
i haven't been cooking. i've been eating out a lot. really nice dinners over a bottle of red wine with a new, hilarious, amazing person, and great conversation. i've been eating leftovers a lot. when i went to the dave matthews caravan festival a few weekends ago, i ate a lot of peanut butter & banana sandwiches. and awesome festival quesadillas. with a strong number of margaritas.
i miss the blog. but i won't say "we'll see," because that would be such a sad last thing written on a blog. but i will see, at least. and now, on to the good stuff.
{pancake sunday} the locale should look a little bit different in these next photos. all in due time for a little explanation. :-)
i guess i'll have to give away some hints, because without them, i don't know how to really express what an incredible sunday morning this was. i used my brand new bowls. and a brand new lot of other things.

Lawrenceville, NY (Sports Network) - Daniel Smith and Jonathon Thompson each scored 23 points as the Rider Broncs took down the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds, 64-57, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tilt at Alumni Gymnasium.
Smith and Thompson combined to shoot 16-of-22 from the floor and Stewart added a team-high eight rebounds for Rider (9-9, 4-2 MAAC), which has won three in a row after losing its previous five. Anthony Myles added 10 points for the hosts.
For Loyola (12-6, 4-2 MAAC), Robert Olson scored a career-high 25 points, while Dylon Cormier chipped in 11 points.
Neither team shot greater than 37 percent in the first half, but Loyola was able to get out to a 31-27 halftime advantage by draining a pair of 3-pointers and shooting 7-of-11 from the foul line. Rider went without a long-range bucket in the opening 20 minutes.
The Broncs opened up the second half red hot, ripping off a 24-9 run to take a 51-40 lead with just over seven minutes to play. The Greyhounds clawed back to make their deficit just two, 54-52, with 1:36 left, but Rider answered with six straight points to pull away.
Neither team was efficient from 3-point range, with Rider shooting 2-of-12 from beyond the arc and Loyola going 3-of-19.

Thomasville-- While still maintaining small-town southern charm, Thomasville is a growing city. With growth, come changes.
That's why both county and city planning departments are busy working on a plan for the future. "Evaluating where we're at, developing goals and implementation measures to take us to the future, anticipating different growth methods and such," says city planner Duane Treadon.
A comprehensive plan is state mandated and is done every 20 years, but this time's a little bit different. "In 2005, The Georgia Department of Community Affairs changed the rules on the comprehensive planning. In the past it was pretty much less citizen participatory project," says Treadon.
For this plan, community input is key. And the city and county are using a couple of different methods to get it. "We have had public workshops at the chamber of commerce and also at the public library just to get public input," Treadon says.
The largest source of community feedback comes from online Vision surveys. There are separate one for the city and county and can be found at their websites. "It's an easy opportunity and an easy way for citizens to log on at their own convenience and be able, take the time to answer the questions not in a public forum where they're having to compete to have their point said," said Treadon.
The surveys cover topics from growth and development to transportaion, historical preservation, housing and many other issues. "It's an overall kind of assessment of where the citizens would like to see the direction for the future of growth and development for Thomasville and Thomas County," says Treadon. Because a sound plan now ensures a bright future for a town with roots deep in the past.
City and county planners hope to have the joint comprehensive plan finalized by the end of the summer.

Alex Brown Church tours in support of his new kickstarter-funded stripped-down album
Sea Wolf (solo acoustic) w/ Odetta Hartman(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it $14
As Sea Wolf, Alex Brown Church has kept us ensnared in his world of gorgeously lush and longingly moody tales of gypsies, wolves, foggy coastlines, redwood forests, metropolitan nightscapes and precarious loves since his 2007 debut. With his new album Old World Romance, released in September on Dangerbird Records, Church continues the story, delving into new territory.
An NYU film school graduate, and northern California native, Church has always taken the auteur's approach to Sea Wolf, infusing his lyrics and imagery with his experiences from the romantic grandeur of the West to the old school classicism of the East. But while the scenes he paints in his songs reflect his dual penchants for dramatic natural landscapes and the headiness of urban life, under the surface they are most often about periods of change.
It was one of those periods that brought Church back to California to write and record Old World Romance, the third Sea Wolf album. While not confined to the concept of "home", it is in many respects a homecoming album, its creation coming after the songwriter returned to his artistic base after three momentous years away.
"Some significant things happened for me while I was living in Montreal, but life happens all the time to all of us," Church says. "A lot of the album is about facing realities, reconnecting with who you are. And a lot of that came from this complete sense of rediscovery of where I'm from — not so much L.A., but the West Coast in general. I felt a resurgence. I felt like this is where I belong."

Striker Nile Ranger arrested again
Updated 6:45pm Sunday 23rd March 2014 in News
SWINDON Town striker Nile Ranger is in trouble with the law yet again after being arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in Liverpool.
The player, who is currently out for the season with injury, is being questioned by Merseyside Police after being accused of damaging a car following an argument with a taxi driver in Liverpool City Centre at about 6am this morning.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said: "Merseyside Police has arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of causing criminal damage following an incident in a taxi this morning.
"The man, from Middlesex, was arrested on suspicion of damaging a taxi during an argument with the taxi driver in Water Street Liverpool city centre at about 6am this morning.
"He has been taken to a police station where he will be questioned by officers."

So last night was an Unclesam22 sports trifecta. USA soccer won 2-0 over Panama to take the lead in WCQ, the Oakland A's beat the Evil Empire Yankees, and San Antonio destroyed the Heat.
Ok, so that last one wasn't really as great as the other too, but no Cal teams were playing, Tottenham is done for the season, and the Dodgers win over the Dbacks just wasn't that exciting. Although the infrequency with which the Dodgers win and the brawl combined to make it interesting, amirite?
So what is your sports trifecta?

Latitude Sports Clubs of Methuen has a new program designed to nip childhood obesity in the bud.
The fitness center at 116 Pleasant Valley St. caters to more than 6,000 members. Last month it launched a Kids Fit program designed for children ages 18 months to 13.
Curves for Women in North Andover, meanwhile, recently joined the high-tech age of fitness training.
Its owners bought a new computer system called CurvesSmart that offers its 350 members a computerized, precision-designed workout when they train at 110 Sutton St. in North Andover.
These are among the newest in fitness trends at local health clubs, a competitive and growing business.
"Childhood obesity and childhood diabetes are rising, and we'd like to do our part to help stop that," said Elena Scuderi of Salem, N.H., who is general manager at Latitude Sports Clubs of Methuen.
"It's great for the parents. They can bring in their kids to work out the same time they're working out," said Scuderi, who's been involved in the fitness field for about 15 years.
At the beginning of the year, Latitude lowered its monthly rate for youth membership to about half the rate charged to adult members. It also began offering discounted memberships for people in the 14- to 18-year-old range, reaching out to high school and college students.
"We started the Kids Fit program in March," Scuderi said. "The big trend is family atmosphere, so we have a youth membership for 14 and up, and now we have a kids fit program 18 months to 13 years old. We offer different sessions for different ages," she said.
A special trainer works with classes of six to 10 children at a time.
While health clubs have traditionally courted individual members to work out on their own schedules and at their own pace, Latitude — formerly Golds Gym — is concentrating more on group programs, with the idea that people who are out of shape and need to drop the weight might be more inclined to do so if they're joined by others who are battling the bulge.
The club's "biggest loser" contest is gaining popularity, whether done in-house or in competition with other local health clubs.
"Overall, the training aspect is leaning toward group training because it's more cost effective," Scuderi said. "But group training isn't just more popular because it's cost effective. It's because of the socialization aspect, too, the friendships that develop within the group."
Some of the smaller clubs — like Curves — have carved out a niche for themselves by offering more personalized training.
In Texas, the company pioneered the computerized, personal coaching system called CurvesSmart, which finally made its way here this month.
"Out of the 10,000 Curves worldwide, there's only 1,300 that have them right now — and we're one of them," said Laura McKellar, a Bradford resident who has been co-owner of the North Andover franchise for six years.
"That's a huge trend for us. We call it 'the success coach' — a little computer attached to all of the equipment. CurvesSmart ensures that members maintain an exertion level that is safe and guarantees maximum benefit based on their heart rate, speed of movement, repetition and resistance," McKellar said.
"The clubs that have been using them have seen a 15 percent increase in inches lost," she said.
CurvesSmart provides electronic progress reports on a woman's personal training program, and also helps to improve progress of individual workouts, which involve hydraulic resistance machines that combine strength training and sustained cardiovascular activity, McKellar said.
There's a built-in incentive to inspire the women to reach for their maximum potential fitness. The box that measures the progress of a workout also takes on different colors.
"Yellow means you need to kick it up," McKellar said.
"Green means you're in you're range. If you get a blinking green, it means you overshot your range. If it blinks too much, it will move you up a level," she said.
"When you're working toward your maximum potential, it keeps you motivated. So, the green is the best. Green is where you want to be."

FULLBOKAD! Windows Azure Racing Game Workshop – Alan Smith
This hands-on workshop will focus on the use of Windows Azure services to host a back end system for real-time telemetry processing in a 3D racing game. The use of asynchronous queues, worker roles, storage services and websites will be explained. Techniques for real-time data stream processing, data archiving and report generation will be discussed and explored.
Formula 1 racing teams use sophisticated IT systems to process and analyze real time telemetry data. The engine control units used in racing cars produce thousands of data readings per second, which is transmitted to race engineers in the pit lane, and engineering teams back at the factory.
With changing weather and track conditions and reliability issues with car components, effective real-time analysis and processing of this data is critical to the success of the team. With a race calendar spanning the globe, and millions of dollars in prize money sometimes determined by fractions of seconds on the track, the technical challenges are complex and the stakes are high.
On-line games also use sophisticated systems to capture, analyze and display telemetry data from players. With popular games having millions of players, the need for a scalable and cost effective solution for data storage and processing is critical.
Red Dog Racing is a 3D car racing game that is fully integrated with Windows Azure. The game makes use of the following Windows Azure services, which will be covered in detail during the workshop:
- Windows Azure Table Storage
- Windows Azure Blob Storage
- Windows Azure Worker Roles
- Windows Azure Service Bus Topics and Subscriptions
- Windows Azure Service Bus Relay Service
- Windows Azure Websites
The workshop will provide an insight into leveraging the power of cloud-based platforms for high scale telemetry data processing scenarios. The techniques learned will be applicable to many scenarios, from multi-player gaming to device telemetry and the internet of things.
Attendees will start the workshop with an on premise version of the Red Dog Racing game. During the hands-on exercises they will modify the game to integrate with Windows Azure storage, sending and receiving lap time data in table storage, and storing and retrieve replay data to blob storage for displaying ghost cars.
The Windows Azure Service Bus will be leveraged to send real-time messages between players, and also to send telemetry data to the service bus, which will be used for real time analysis, and also archived for detailed analysis of lab comparisons. The test phase of each lab will involve playing the driving game, and competing with other attendees to set the fastest lap.

Has Ron Paul Quit?
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the internet-in-flames-film-at-11 dept.878
Lally Singh sends us to the inside-the-Beltway blog Wonkette for a quick take on a letter Ron Paul sent to his supporters. In this analysis, Dr. Paul has basically called it quits. "Late Friday night, Dr. Congressman Ron Paul posted a letter to his fans basically saying it's over, but he will continue talking about his message, and plus it would be completely embarrassing for him if he also lost his congressional seat."

Store wins battle over alcohol sales
9:00pm Thursday 29th August 2013 in News
MORRISONS has been given the green light to sell alcohol at its new store in Wroughton despite a huge outcry from local residents.
Swindon Council's licensing panel approved an application brought by the supermarket giant to sell alcohol between the hours of 7am to 11pm Mondays to Sundays, at a meeting yesterday.
Morrisons is hoping to open an Mlocal store at the former Three Tuns pub, on Devizes Road. Contracts between the supermarket and Arkell's Brewery have changed hands.
More than 80 residents lodged complaints with the authority citing traffic and noise issues as their main worries. But fears about underage drinkers congregating outside the site were also voiced.
Chris Kennedy, who represented a number of residents in Wroughton, said: "For Wrough-ton, with five shops already having off-licence sales, this would be one licence too many.
"The extended availablity of alcohol for consumption off the premises will inevitably result in increased public drunkenness and the attendant disorder, violence and vandalism – particularly by young people."
He said noise would have an adverse effect on the 30 people aged 60 plus and 20 children living in close proximity.
But Morrisons representative Clare Johnson said traffic and noise issues were matters for a planning committee and should not be considered during a licensing hearing.
Mrs Johnson added there was no proof underage drinking would take place outside the store. She said Morrisons has highly trained staff in selling alcohol and has never had any of its licences revoked up and down the country.
"We are used to being good neighbours in the places that we open," said Mrs Johnson.
"It is common when we open an Mlocal to have a lot of objections about what we might bring to that particular place.
"We simply do not cause the problems that are anticipated."
Chairing the meeting, councillor Michael Bray (Con, Fresh-brook and Grange Park) said: "Having considered the evidence I have no hesitation in saying a licence should be granted."
Laura Stubbs from Morrisons said: "We were pleased with the outcome of the licensing hearing and are excited about opening a Morrisons Mlocal in Wroughton.
"We're looking forward to bringing the building back to life with a convenience store that has fresh food at its heart."
A planning application for the change of use from a public house to a shop is expected to go through as permitted development.
Another planning application for external alterations to windows, doors, minor works to an existing car park and for a two-metre high fence to be built at the former pub was submitted to the council in August.
The application is likely to go before the planning committee on September 10.

West Virginia scored 48 first-half points and forced 19 turnovers while defeating Rutgers 84-60 on Saturday afternoon at the Coliseum.
The Mountaineers improved to 13-5 on the season and 4-2 in Big East Conference play.
Senior forward Kevin Jones scored 24 points and senior guard Truck Bryant chipped in 18.
"We just wanted to come out and do the same things we did when we played them at Rutgers," Jones said. "I think we did that at times. Overall, I thought it was a good win."
Rutgers shot just 38 percent from the field and the Scarlet Knights were 3-14 from three-point range.
"Everybody that came in the game did something for us to win," Jones said. "As long as we keep on doing that, we'll continue to grow and get better as a team."
Rutgers had beaten two top-ten teams over the past two weeks.
Much like the Mountaineers' first meeting with Rutgers just 10 days earlier, West Virginia jumped out to a double-digit lead in the first half.
"We pretty much did the same thing that we did at Rutgers," said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. "We took them out of what they wanted to do. We forced them out a little bit higher than where they wanted to be."
The Mountaineers used an 11-0 run to lead 14-4 just after the first media timeout.
West Virginia continued to extend its lead despite little assistance from its leading scorer Kevin Jones.
Instead, senior guard Truck Bryant carried the load early.
Bryant made 5 of his 9 first-half field goals and scored 15 points in the first half.
Rutgers struggled to find any consistency offensively, while committing 11 turnovers and only recording 9 made field goals in the first 20 minutes of play.
Jones responded from a slow start and had 11 points at halftime, as the Mountaineers took a 48-22 lead into the locker room.
Rutgers was able to do something in the second half that it failed to do in the first – make outside shots.
This allowed the Scarlet Knight to cut the lead to 63-45 with less than 12 minutes left to play.
However, the Mountaineers responded to the run.
West Virginia's Deniz Kilicli made a left-handed hook shot with less than six minutes left to play to give the Mountaineers a 78-51 advantage.
Kilicli finished with 14 points, despite playing limited minutes due to foul trouble.
Freshman forward Keaton Miles had his best game of the season. Miles had seven assists to go with six points.
"That was the best I've seen Keaton Miles play," Jones said. "He was very aggressive today, and we need him to be aggressive."
West Virginia had 22 assists on 27 made field goals.
"That's when we're at our best, when we pass the ball," Jones said.

Afghanistan Has Bumper Poppy Crop, Breaking All Records
The United Nations has determined that poppy cultivation in Afghanistan has hit a record high. The UN Office of Drug and Crime released a report this week detailing how land used for poppy cultivation jumped 36% from the year before, even as drug eradication efforts fell by 24%. Two provinces which had in earlier years been declared drug-free, were now growing poppies.
Afghanistan had already been declared the world's greatest producer of heroin, accounting for 75% of all world supplies. This year, that figure may jump to 90%. Not only are Europeans and Russians experiencing huge increases in addiction rates, an estimated 1 million Afghans are themselves addicted.
But growing poppies for heroin and opium is financially lucrative for poor farmers. The crop has a high yield, long shelf life, and needs little water – a crucial fact during one of the worst droughts the country has ever experienced. Farmers are able to feed their families by growing poppies rather than wheat or other food crops.
All sides of the country's on-going political conflict benefit as well. Taliban groups extract a tax from all product sales to fund their insurgency. And, prominent members of the Afghan government are also reportedly cashing in. Meanwhile, US and NATO forces have seemingly ignored the spike in drug production under their occupation.
GUEST: Julien Mercille, author of Cruel Harvest: US Intervention in the Afghan Drug Trade, and a lecturer in the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy at University College Dublin, Ireland.

NFSN PHP file write permissions in safe_mode
I've been causing some (security) concerns for myself by thoughtlessly using the dreaded 777 permissions for upload directories to allow the various PHP-based websites that I host at nearlyfreespeech.net to write files there. What this drastic anti-security measure didn't allow me to is to manage these uploaded files through SSH (and SCP/Rsync). In the chroot jail which I'm allowed to enter through SSH, I am ŌĆśmeŌĆÖ, while the files created from PHP end up being owned by user ŌĆśwebŌĆÖ. However, for some reason these files didn't get owned by group ŌĆśwebŌĆÖ of which the ŌĆśmeŌĆÖ user is a member. Also, I got into trouble with new directories that were being created by the upload scripts. Read More »

WordPress admin bar and absolute CSS positioning
WordPress 3.2 introduced an admin bar, which is fixed at the top of the window when you're logged in.

In a slightly padded but well-acted and relevant drama, an Australian mining company and a group of Aboriginals go to court to settle a dispute over sacred land that the company wants to mine.
When the Ayers Mining Company sets out to begin construction of its mine with bulldozers and earth-movers, the Aboriginals physically block the work because the site is exactly where the green ants will gather to dream (a 40,000-year-old legend) and it cannot be disturbed.
The company tries the usual means of getting their way — through bribes and arguments — but nothing budges the men who came to defend the land. Once in court, it is quickly apparent that tribal laws and customs and beliefs are very different than Western laws — and how the issue will be resolved is sticky indeed.

We're off and running at the Stadio Olimpico in Roma vs. AC Milan. The visitors started out doing much of the attacking, but it's Roma who've had the first real chance, with Mark van Bommel having to scramble to clear out a cross that left Christian Abbiati looking like a deer frozen in the headlights. The ball sat in the six-yard box for what seemed like an age before van Bommel cleared for a corner, which Roma promptly wasted.
Anyway, that's the best chance of the match so far, but it's hardly been dull - both sides are spoiling the Serie A stereotype by committing to an open, attacking game, and we're almost certainly going to see goals (I've jinxed us into a 0-0 draw with that, of course). Milan are probably better in buildup play, but the hosts are doing their best to ruin the defending champions' day by pressing hard on the counterattack, and you'd have to say that they're edging it so far.

£10,000 Tarr Steps repairs to be completed within days
9:00am Friday 15th February 2013 in West Somerset By Hannah Green
WORK to rebuild an iconic clapper bridge on Exmoor after last year's floods caused extensive damage to it is due to be completed within days.
Now the water has subsided, a £10,000 project has started to rebuild the centuries-old, 50-metre Tarr Steps structure, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Somerset County Council is working with contractors Crestmoor to retrieve the bridge's large stones which were washed away with the force of the floods on December 22 and 23, 2012.
Cllr Frances Nicholson, who represents Dulverton and Exmoor, said: "I am delighted work is now under way to restore Tarr Steps to its former glory.
"The bridge is an enduring and iconic feature of the Exmoor landscape that has been in use since medieval times.
"The team is working extremely hard and is doing a tremendous job, putting in long hours to try to keep to schedule.
"Tarr Steps is very much a honeypot for visitors to Exmoor and is a major contributor to the local economy drawing in people from all over the country to come and stay in the area.
"As an ancient monument the bridge must be put back exactly the way it was, so it is especially pleasing to see how the ancient design lends itself to quick and economical repair.
"The cost of the scheme to rebuild the seven displaced spans is about £10,000. If we were to build a modern bridge instead it would cost about £500,000."
Damage to the stone bridge was compounded by the force of large trees which came down in the bad weather and floated downstream knocking out several spans of the Tarr Steps.
An upstream 'tree protection boom' made of steel wires was also torn down in the flood. This is also being replaced.
Each spanning stone is unique and the county council's bridge team knows in detail what the stones look like and where they should go in the numbered spans.
It is hoped the work to rebuild the Grade I listed bridge will be completed by early next week.

The TIP Scholars program is a first-year community for students admitted to the College of Natural Sciences that provides the benefits of a small college experience while students take advantage of the opportunities offered at a large research institution. It aims to provide a smoother transition from high school to college, helping to ensure successful high school students become successful college students. The TIP Scholars creates this smaller academic community with:
a balance of small and large classes,
linked classes,
a signature course,
dedicated advising,
a centrally located office with a dedicated student space, and
peer mentoring
TIP Scholars are exceptionally motivated students who have demonstrated academic excellence as high school students. They are willing to challenge themselves, are committed to their own learning, and appreciate the value of a strong intellectual and social community.
TIP Scholars represent a diverse array of academic interests and career goals. In the past five years, TIP Scholars have:
achieved higher GPAs,
graduated at higher rates,
received prestigious academic awards, including the Joint Admissions Medical Program (JAMP), Temple Scholarships, Rapoport Scholarships, Research Fellowships, and Study Abroad Scholarships,
actively participated in and have become leaders in campus research, service organizations, student government, and various honor societies, and
entered professional schools in medicine, pharmacy, and law or graduate programs at institutions such as Columbia University, Rice University, Cornell University, Duke University, and Washington University.
Reserved Seats in First Year Courses
TIP Scholars find registering for popular core classes easier and therefore, academic progress is enhanced. TIP reserves seats for its Scholars in highly-desired core first-year courses such as chemistry, psychology, and math.
A Balance of Small and Large Classes
Scholars enroll in a balance of small and large courses during their freshman year. This variety of course sizes helps students adjust to the learning environment at UT while staying on track for their degree.
Linked Courses
Scholars enroll in as many as three courses with other TIP students who share similar academic interests or career goals. The relationships formed in these linked courses often continue outside of class and in many years to follow. TIP Scholars develop long-lasting academic and personal relationships with their peers in the program and at UT.
TIP Signature Course
All TIP Scholars enroll in a student-centered and interactive critical thinking seminar during their first term at UT. The primary goal of the seminar is to immerse students in the art of intellectual engagement and help them become more comfortable with college-level reasoning. The course serves as a platform from which TIP Scholars can confidently pursue any academic discipline at UT.
Connection to Faculty
TIP Scholars have enhanced opportunities for faculty-student interaction through the small college atmosphere the program provides. TIP actively recruits faculty that have a strong interest in undergraduate education as well as expertise in their field. By the end of their freshman year, most TIP Scholars will have developed close relationships with several faculty members.
TIP Scholars are matched with a peer mentor for their first year experience. Peer mentors are talented upper-division students who assist TIP Scholars with the academic and personal transition from high school to college. Typically, one mentor works closely with six incoming freshmen and these mentor groups meet once or twice a week during the semester. Mentors have all been selected to be part of the TIP Mentor Academy and are certified through the international College Reading and Learning Association.
Academic Advisors for TIP Scholars
TIP Scholars academic advisors are specialists in the courses and policies of the University and the College of Natural Sciences. These academic advisors are available year-round to assist TIP Scholars with the personal guidance they need to make sound academic decisions.
Free Tutoring
TIP Tutoring provides an informal and relaxed environment where TIP Scholars gather for evening study and free tutoring in selected entry level courses. Tutors are selected and trained to provide students with the most effective learning strategies.
Enrichment Activities
TIP Scholars are exposed to a rich assortment of extracurricular activities at UT. These activities include workshops on academic and personal success, intellectually-focused movie nights, TIP Community Outreach events, and the annual TIP Recognition Dinner.
A Home Base on Campus
The TIP Office is centrally located on the UT campus in the FAC, adjacent to several valuable student resources such as the Undergraduate Writing Center, student computer labs, the Texas Union, and the UT Tower. The open commons area allows TIP students to gather, study, and interact with the TIP staff on a regular basis, creating a home base to call their own.
