Can we afford firefighters we need?
How many firefighters are enough?
Seems a simple enough question. But as we're seeing this week, figuring out exactly how many firefighters we need in Winnipeg is nothing short of a confounding exercise.
The debate over firefighter staffing has been triggered by a full-on battle between the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg, the union representing the city's 800-plus firefighters. The specific issue is overtime and the fact the service's spending on premium pay has nearly doubled this year alone.
Acting fire Chief William Clark issued a memo to all WFPS personnel Tuesday proposing a series of staffing measures to bring OT under control.
UFFW president Alex Forrest alleged the acting chief was putting the lives of citizens and firefighters at risk with his cost-saving measures.
Why have overtime costs run out of control? Both sides in the dispute have theories.
Forrest insists a failure to replace the growing ranks of retiring firefighters is the issue. With vacancies rising, the service is forced to plug shift holes with firefighters drawing premium rates. A 2010 audit of the WFPS confirmed a failure to replace retiring firefighters was creating the OT crunch.
Forrest noted that this year, the city did not hire any new firefighters despite 34 retirements and another dozen or so on long-term disability. Further, the union head said that until this year, city officials preferred to pay OT to firefighters rather than hire new ones and have to cover the cost of benefits for 25 years.
Sources within the WFPS confirm OT opportunities have never been better. One firefighter said when he started two decades ago, it was rare to get more than a few OT opportunities a year; now, he said most firefighters are getting two or three opportunities to work extra hours each week.
The issue for the WFPS appears to be a lack of control over employee absences. Clark wrote in his memo a shortage of full-time firefighters was not the issue driving the overtime. Rather, it was the "number of members who are available to work on any given day."
Clark no doubt realizes he is feeding into a widely held but largely unproven theory that firefighters have a very relaxed schedule. Just about everyone knows a firefighter who also has a thriving business renovating basements or building cabinets.
Although he was careful to couch his words, Clark strongly suggested firefighters are taking advantage of leave benefits. He pointed a finger at causes "above and beyond the normal leave allotments," such as sick time, family days and worker's compensation claims.
Firefighting has always been a difficult municipal service to manage. Resources need to be spread throughout the city because it is impossible to predict when the next big fire or horrendous traffic accident will occur.
We also know certain older core neighbourhoods produce more fire calls than suburban areas. Further, while some fire stations respond to several fires a week, others may go a year or more without one. Clark noted in his memo 75 per cent of all calls for assistance to the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service are for emergency medical assistance, not fires.
Does all that justify Clark's cost-saving measures? At first blush, creating more squads to respond to lower-priority medical calls makes sense. However, the reality is any move to reduce the number of firefighters on the job at any one time is little more than a calculated wager on public safety.
Firefighting is essentially a study in constant preparedness. This is a job that is all about training, testing and repairing equipment and maintaining a vigil while awaiting the first sign of smoke. It's about being ready for anything at any time.
You simply cannot assess operational effectiveness by how many calls for service an individual station gets.
Internationally, standards have been established to help guide decisions on the number of firefighters needed in cities of different sizes and populations. According to the UFFW, Winnipeg has only barely met those standards.
Anecdotally, front-line firefighters tell stories of major failures in equipment, including an aging, worn-out fleet of vehicles and an inventory of increasingly decrepit firehouses. Of even greater concern, the union confirms scheduled training for many firefighters is not being done because the WFPS cannot afford to pay OT to cover their shifts.
There may very well be an abuse of leave benefits, and there is also likely a case to be made for a larger number of less heavily staffed "squad" units to handle the preponderance of medical calls. However, this is, in its essence, more a fiscal issue than an emergency-services issue.
Afraid to raise property taxes and burdened with suffocating infrastructure demands, local governments across Canada are desperately looking for ways to control their costs. That has forced many to look to emergency services, a previously untouchable line in most municipal budgets.
The answer may be that at existing taxation levels and without more support from senior levels of government, we cannot afford what we really need.

It's been gloomy and rainy for what feels like forever, and I could use some serious sunshine. So…I am mentally escaping to the following places today. Feel free to join me!
See you there!

Hi everyone, happy 2013! Hannon and I are fully back in the swing of things with three new projects beginning this week in Mountain Brook and Homewood, AL and Atlanta, GA. Of course we still have several great projects underway…we are busy and we are ready to attack this new year and get some great work done!
In the couple of weeks we took off between Christmas and New Year's, Hannon moved all of their stuff to the loft she and Cameron have rented in Chattanooga and I moved into their house in Birmingham. I'm finally settled in but man do I need a lot of stuff–this place is three times the size of my old one!
One of the main things I'm addressing first is lighting…I have a few rooms that need fixtures replaced or installed (Hannon took a few fixtures with her to Chattanooga) and I need lamps all over the house. I thought I'd share a few fixtures I'm either looking at buying or have already bought…
I'll work from left to right, starting with the flush mount future in the top left corner. There are a few places in the house where Hannon had not yet gotten to switching out fixtures and I figure if I don't do it now I won't either! I actually found this schoolhouse flush mount when I was shopping with our Jackson, TN clients…at Home Depot! This little guy is great, it blends so well with some of the nicer fixtures I've selected for other parts of the house and the style is perfect for this 1925 bungalow. I've bought three so far…one for the Butler's Pantry, one for the Kitchen and one for the Hallway. For $49, why not?
In my excitement to buy some new things, I sold most of the lamps I had at my other house. I quickly realized as move in day neared that I was going to need some light in the Living Room fast since there is no overhead lighting, so I quickly ordered Circa Lighting's Metal Banded Table Lamp. I love the acrylic base mixed with the brass bands and the dimmable switch is a nice touch too.
Eventually I need to get an electrician over here to move the chandelier currently in the Butler's Pantry to the Master Bedroom (I'm handy, but the mount looks tricky and these ceilings are plaster and old). Until then, that room is without lighting too, so I tossed in Circa's French Library Lamp When i ordered the Living Room lamp. It's a great price and I love the warm brass finish against my grey walls…and it's adjustable so when I find the perfect nightstand (add that to my list!) I won't have to worry about the lamp being too tall or too short.
The Living Room is flanked by a Sunroom on the far end (the grey room with the Travertine tile, above) and the Dining Room on the other…both with big openings so the whole thing feels like one continuous space across the front of the house. I think I want to do the same fixture in both rooms so they don't fight with each other visually. I'm really considering the HEKTAR pendant from Ikea for both spaces…I want some big industrial gestures in this pretty and bright space and I think a pair of these would stand out well on either end of the space. And they aren't crazy expensive so if I find something I like better later it's not a big deal…I almost bought them a month ago but chickened out. We are going back to Atlanta this week and I might pull the trigger then. I have not one thing in the Dining Room right now so it's hard to commit!
There's a corner in the Kitchen where I'd like to add a lamp on the counter. The kitchen is rather dark anyway and especially at night it would be nice to have some soft lighting I could leave on all the time. I don't really want a table lamp per se, I really like this metal shaded candlestick lamp by Arteriors…I think the metallic shade would jive well with my stainless steel island.
Finally there's the office where I really wanted to do something great since I'm in there so much! I decided to go with a favorite and went with Circa's classic and ubiquitous Hicks Pendant. It's currently sitting in a box in the corner waiting to be hung (again, going to need to call in the professionals for that one) but I cannot wait to see it up. One of Hannon's and my all time favorite fixtures…I think the mix of brass, steel and milk glass will really pull together all the other fixtures in the house and at the least, it will make me happy every time I sit down to work!
Lots more work to be done around here, I'll keep you posted…
As you know by now, Hannon has started splitting her time between Birmingham and Chattanooga where her husband's company has headquartered. She's in the process of packing up their house in Birmingham and getting their awesome new loft in Chattanooga furnished. Yesterday we went to Atlanta and scored a super cool grasscloth-covered desk and caramel leather chair from West Elm for Hannon's home office in Chattanooga. In the midst of all this packing and moving and change we decided to really mix things up — I'm going to move into Hannon and Cameron's beautiful house in Birmingham!
I am so excited to finish the project Hannon started on their cottage — last year after they bought the house, Hannon and I selected all new paint colors and master planned a furniture layout for the place. It's going to be so fun to put my own spin on things…I've admired the house so much since they bought it and I am so glad our little plan worked and now I get to live there.
Even better? All of our business paperwork is registered to that address…I don't think either of us could take another round of courthouse visits right now! We've taken to calling the place HDI HQ — I can't wait to share the progress of my new project with all of you! And Hannon and Cameron are piling everything they have in Birmingham into a moving truck this weekend so you'll be seeing updates from their new place soon too.
We are both so excited about our new living arrangements and remember, if you are looking for some help with your home (new or old!) in Birmingham, Chattanooga, or anywhere in between– we'd love to talk with you.
Before we get off to stuffing our faces along with our family and friends, Doug and I want to take this time to say THANK YOU!
We are so grateful to our clients, vendors, friends and family who have all supported us during the start up of Hannon Douglas Interiors. We could not have done it without the encouragement and support from all of you. We look forward to sharing many exciting projects in the coming years.
On a lighter note…
I know Thanksgiving is all about the food, but I may or may not get more excited about tablescaping. Here are a few tables that I love:
For our family table of 16 I have made a few centerpieces out of Kale, Pansies, and Brussels Sprouts. More pictures to come!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a few "in progress" shots from a project we are working on in Jackson, TN. This project is really special to me because it happens to be the home of some very dear friends of mine who moved to Jackson from Birmingham this past summer. My friends bought an incredible 1930's Southern Colonial house on historic Northwood Avenue near downtown Jackson. The house was in great shape when they bought it, but the decor was not at all what any of us preferred–very "Home Alone"–lots of red and green and brass! As soon as my friends got the keys we unleashed a team of painters on the place who painted it in Benjamin Moore's 'Seapearl' from top to bottom. We are taking this project slow–it's a big house and my friends are wisely only buying things they love, as they can, so there hasn't been a lot of progress on furnishings to share yet. We have made some pretty great strides perfecting the "bones" of the house to complement the snappy new paint job. Since I've been here this weekend we've installed a few light fixtures and made some decisions about cabinet hardware and tile updates.
One thing that has been a priority on the decorative side of things is drapery upstairs–nobody wants to sleep in a room without curtains! In the one room we didn't paint Seapearl–the upstairs Man Room which we painted in Benjamin Moore 'Kendall Charcoal" some fun zig zag drapes were just installed. Hannon and I are loving this combination!
I am so excited to share the recent publication of my own home in Birmingham Home & Garden. Last December, the Monday morning immediately after a couple thousand people had traipsed through my place during the Independent Presbyterian Holiday Home Tour, photographer Jean Allsopp arrived and captured these images of my thankfully still intact home and holiday decor. I love how everything turned out. Hannon and I have had the opportunity to work with Birmingham Home & Garden–and its amazing editor Cathy Still McGowin–quite a bit over the past few years, particularly during last year's Inspiration House that we helped design while we were still with Tracery. It's such an honor to have my own home in the pages of such a great local publication. And this story is especially exciting because it marks our first editorial feature as Hannon Douglas Interiors. Here's to lots more I hope!
Now about this year's holiday decorating…I haven't even started to think about that! Have you?
I spent most of my weekend exploring the mountains around Chattanooga- the views were unbelievable! While driving around the "brow" I couldn't help but begin to dream up my perfect mountain house. Not all mountain houses have to be dark and woodsy – I prefer lots of natural light. There's something refreshing about clean lines when you are surrounded by the unkempt elements of nature. Tightly made beds, clean slabs of white marble, simply detailed cabinets and trim are all great contrasts to the wildness of nature and actually seem really cozy to me. Maybe I don't relate to the saying "being one with nature!"

Ohio State student journalist faces charges for photographing runaway cows; university backs off
An Ohio State University student journalist is facing legal charges after photographing cows that escaped from OSU's agriculture school, but will likely receive no legal help from the university or newspaper. Alex Kotran, a freshman photographer for the student newspaper The Lantern, was "detained, handcuffed and is facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespass," after photographing police's attempt to corral two runaway cows on campus, Byron Edgington reports for The Lantern. Kotran repeatedly explained to officers he was allowed to take pictures because he was standing on public property, but police say he was a safety hazard. (Read more)
Now Kotran says it appears that he's on his own in the legal battle. The Lantern has no money budgeted for legal services for student staff members. Representatives from OSU Legal Affairs told Lantern General Manager John Milliken "the university cannot provide Kotran with an attorney or the money for an attorney because it is a conflict of interest," Michelle Sullivan reports for the newspaper. "I find it odd that the university has the resources to pursue prosecution of a student who hasn't done anything wrong, but it doesn't have the resources to help defend a student who hasn't done anything wrong," Tom O'Hara, The Lantern's adviser, the paper.
Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center, told the Lantern "cases in which university police press charges against student journalists are rare," and "it is fairly uncommon for a university to provide a student journalist with criminal defense counsel," Sullivan writes. He added, "My strong prediction would be that someone higher up in the university will recognize that this was a terrible mistake by the police and work to make it right." (Read more)

First, if he was in the line of duty, many states have expense reimbursement statutes for indemnification of costs incurred (reasonably) in performing in the line of foreseeable duty......which seems clear here (see, CA Labor Code Section 2802 as an example). Second, he has press privileges available in many states. Third, he has potential First Amendment violation as the "safety hazard" statute appears void for vagueness. Finally, the University should be ashamed of itself.... As a Illini, shame, shame, shame on OSU....Irrespective of Illini shortcomings, OSU has no excuse except not being able to back up its bravado.....Eat S*%$t OSU

Universities and their public policies are a fascination for us all. Professors have academic freedom, university presidents of freedom to control a large amount of the budget, and apparently a lady from the AG department--who doesn't want the department to be embarrassed-- has the power, with the aid of the police, to declare marshal law against one person.
It's in the university's catalogue of Classes called:
Stupidity at Higher Education Institutions and How to Improve the Stupidity at Higher Education Institutions 101.

News: Nicki Minaj Recruits Bobby V For Young Money Debut, "We Been Working Together For Years"
Tuesday, Mar 9, 2010 5:35PM
Young Money's Nicki Minaj has reportedly recruited R&B singer Bobby V for her upcoming debut album.
According to the former Disturbin' Tha Peace artist, Minaj has a few choice songs to choose from.
"It was me, Nicki and the producer, Fat Boy, kinda vibing in the studio," Bobby said about their 'Stilettos" collaboration. "That same night, Fat Boy played a couple more tracks and I heard one that I really liked and Nicki was in there, too, so we did like a true collaboration. She had the fly shoes on, so I was like, 'Those some crazy stilettos right there.' We just started talking and that's how the whole concept came together. That's why I think the song came out real crazy. 'Cause we were [really] going back and forth...Me and Nicki been cool for a while. She's blowing up now, but we been working together for years. I'm not sure which [songs] are going on [the album], but anytime she in the studio or I'm in the studio we always invite each other." (VIBE)
Minaj recently said she would feature tracks from Swizz Beatz and Kanye West.
"I'm probably definitely going to work with Kanye," she revealed in an interview. "On my debut, I worked with Sean Garrett. And probably Swizz Beatz, he's gonna send me something. I like to work with unknown producers as well, so I accept beats from everybody." (Rap-Up)
She recently spoke on receiving critical acclaim from West's associate, Jay-Z.
"I was like, 'What?' " Minaj said about Jigga claiming she has "charm." "Obviously, Jay-Z ... Jay-Z is a person in hip-hop that you almost don't think he exist until you meet him. It's almost like he's bigger than a person. He's a mythical figure. That's a great way to describe it. I was like, 'Jay-Z knows me?' I didn't think he knew who I was, let alone recommend me for something. If he did know who I was, I didn't know if he liked my style or approved. It was weird. It was like getting that stamp of approval from the most popular jock in high school and being a freshman in high school and thinking no one knows you exist." (MTV)
Last December, Minaj said she wanted to drop a "classic" debut album.
"The [album], that's what I'm actually getting ready to work on because I've been on the road for such a long time, I'm taking a complete hiatus for the next couple months, unfortunately, for all the promoters giving crazy offers," Minaj told DJ Whoo Kid. "And I've been turning every one because I have to put my foot down for the next few months and deliver a classic album and I already have stuff and I can't wait for the world to hear. All the stuff we talk about is fun and games and all that but the music is what's most important and I don't want all the people to be distracted by the other stuff and so I'm gonna take a break and when I come back you guys will have some very, very great music."

A federal judge has tossed out a woman's $10 million lawsuit against Augusta County.
Judy Desetti of Fishersville was convicted in 2010 of assaulting a county sheriff's deputy.
Her lawsuit - filed last July - claims prosecutors and the sheriff's office wrongly charged her, and falsified evidence. The suit named nine different defendants, but was never served on any of them.
After repeatedly warning Desetti to move the case forward, a judge finally dismissed it.

The Hannibal High School History Club is looking to bring more history to America's Hometown.
Today the club partnered with McDonalds AND 20% of food sold between 4-8pm WILL HELP bring a traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall to the HANNIBAL and help students who are traveling to the East Coast in the summer of 2013.
Missy Barrie who supports the History club says this is a great way to add to an already historic city.
"I just think our slogan for so long has been America's Hometown, that I think it's nice whenever we can connect such a big part of our American History to America's Hometown and just giving people the opportunity to appreciate what so many veterans have sacrificed," said Barrie.
The Vietnam Memorial costs $6,000.
The history club already has $1,500 saved and hope to make another $600 or $700 from the fundraiser.

folded edge of the top fabric, about 1" from the last stitch. Push your needle
and thread through. You should have a straight stitch on top of your appliqué
design and a slanted stitch on the back.

As we look ahead to November's elections, Robinson-Moon Patch is devoted to bringing you the information you need about every race in town.
Here's our start on the candidates and issues we'll be covering as November draws near. Bookmark this page for updates.
Candidates with Moon roots vie for 44th district
Two former Moon officials on the heels of their own electoral losses will compete against one another in this fall's race for the state's 44th legislative district, which includes both Moon and Robinson.
a Republican incumbent, faces Democrat Mark Scappe in the general election for the seat. Both candidates reside in Moon.
In the spring Republican primary, Mustio, a former president of the Moon Township Board of Supervisors, lost his bid to replace longtime state Sen. John Pippy in the 37th district.
His opponent a Mt. Lebanon software company CEO, instead won the nomination.
Mustio gained just 25 percent of the vote in the three-way race. He now faces Democrat Scappe, who Moon voters ousted from the Moon Area School Board in the 2011 municipal race. Scappe had served on the board for more than a decade.
Contested race for Pippy's seat in the 37th district
Many thought Raja would face an uncontested election for Pippy's vacated seat. But in July, state Rep. Matt Smith, who serves the state's 42nd legislative district, entered the race.
Now, political observers have dubbed the race as one of the most competitive in Pennsylvania this election cycle.
Raja and Smith will take part in a "meet the candidates event" Oct. 19 at the Cornerstone in Oakdale.
Among the key issues:
PA Property Tax Reform
Gov. Ed Rendell promised that revenue from slots parlors and gaming tables would greatly reduce or in some cases eliminate property taxes. Years later, that promise remains unfulfilled with the average savings per household at $186 in 2011, according to data from the
Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations.
There is new legislation, albeit in limbo right now, which would eliminate a school district's ability to levy a property tax, replacing that funding with an increase in sales and personal income taxes statewide.
The state house finance committee tabled the Property Tax Independence Act on Monday, but the issue is not likely going to go away.
Sponsored by Rep. Jim Cox, R-Berks, the measure would hike the sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent statewide and raise the personal income tax rate from 3.07 percent to 4 percent. In Allegheny County, the sales tax would rise to 8 percent.
In addition, many goods and services currently exempt from the sales tax would be taxable under the bill, which aims to raise $10 billion dollars to replace the revenue that would be lost by the elimination of school property taxes.
Liquor Store Privatization
Gov. Tom Corbett is trying to do what two of his Republican predecessors, over a span of 30 years, could not, privatize state stores so that private retailers can sell wine and liquor.
The bill, sponsored by House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, could come up for a vote in the House by week's end. If approved, it would go on to the Senate for consideration in the fall.
"House Bill 11 is about divestiture. House Bill 11 is about the consumer. It is about reasonable prices and better selection and more convenience. It is about upgrading law enforcement," said Turzai when he first introduced the measure last July. "It is about moving from a public sector dinosaur into the modern 21st century."
Only two states, Pennsylvania and Utah, have complete control of all aspects of wine and spirits distribution, according to a report that the governor's budget office commissioned.
Not everyone agrees that House Bill 11 is the way to go.
"The House Liquor Control Committee passed a version of HB 11, which would leave the Liquor Control Board intact, a major turnaround from Turzai's original proposal to completely privatize liquor sales," states a story from 90.5 FM Pittsburgh Essential Public Radio.
The union that represents state liquor store managers has lobbied against the bill; two Pennsylvania chapters of the United Food Commercial Workers, representing state store employees, also oppose the bill, the 90.5 radio story states.
"The Independent State Store Union says that the bill's provision to allow beer distributors to begin selling wine will cause the state store system to slowly diminish," according to the story.
The ISSU also opposes the bill.
Maggi takes on five-term incumbent Murphy for 18th district
Republican incumbent , will seek his sixth term serving the 18th Congressional District, which includes all of Moon Township and parts of Robinson.
Murphy faces Democrat Larry Maggi, a who announced his bid in January.
Republican Smith seeks to unseat Casey in Senate race
Incumbent Democrat Bob Casey of Scranton, Lackawanna County, faces a well-funded challenge from Republican Tom Smith of Shelocta, Armstrong County in the race for one of Pennsylvania's two U.S. Senate seats.
Casey, a son of the late Gov. Robert Casey, won the seat in 2006 after defeating former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Prior to entering the Senate, he served as state auditor general and treasurer.
Smith, a coal businessman and multimillionaire, is a founder of a Tea Party group in Indiana and Armstrong counties.
President Barack Obama vs. former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
Pennsylvania has delivered its 20 electoral votes to the Democratic nominee for President in the last five elections. If current polls hold steady, Obama will make it six in a row in November.
The president has not taken Pennsylvania's support for granted and has made several trips to Western Pennsylvania in the past several years, even going as far as choosing Pittsburgh to host the G-20 summit in 2009. In his most president lobbied for his $447 billion American Jobs Act, which continues to face an uphill battle with Republicans in Congress.
The president has also sent what many consider his most potent weapon, his wife, to shore up support in the Pittsburgh area. First Lady Michelle Obama visited with service members of the 911th Airlift Wing and 171st Refueling Wing in April. Vice President Joe Biden also visited the Moon Township base in May.
Mitt Romney is no stranger to the region either, even though some experts suggest the GOP nominee seems to place little importance on winning votes in Pennsylvania.
Romney visited Pittsburgh for a fundraiser in October; the event was closed to the media.
He returned for an April campaign stop in Bethel Park, where he outlined his plans for the economy.
"I'd like to reduce the burden on middle-income taxpayers," Romney said. "I'd like to see anyone making $200,000-$250,000 or less—which is 98 percent of Americans—save their money tax-free. No capital gains. It'll make filing taxes a lot easier and people can save money for things they care about."
Romney was back in Pittsburgh a month later, criticizing the president for the nation's unemployment rate during a visit to a family-owned manufacturing plant in O'Hara.
Key Issue
The No. 1 issue for Western Pennsylvania voters, as with many others across the country, is jobs and the sluggish economic recovery.
President Obama continues to campaign for the American Jobs Act, which the White House says will prevent up to 280,000 teacher layoffs, allow for the hiring of tens of thousands of police officers and firefighters, encourage the hiring of returning veterans and invest billions into roads, rails, airports and waterways.
He blames Congress for not doing enough.
Congress "hasn't acted fast enough," the president told supporters at a recent rally. "Congress," he said, "can't just sit on their hands."
Governor Romney and other Republicans suggest the Obama plan is nothing more than a payoff to Democratic constituent groups, particularly organized labor, which would benefit from federal grants to states to keep government workers on the payroll, as well as construction projects to be completed by union job crews.
On his campaign's web site, Romney blames the President's policies for the lack of job growth.
"The vast expansion of costly and cumbersome regulation of sectors of the economy, ranging from energy to finance to health care. When the price of doing business in America rises, it does not come as a surprise that entrepreneurs and enterprises cut back, let employees go, and delay hiring," Romney said.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to employ some subsampling techniques, instead of the edgy graphics that appear now when you scale the low-resolution games.
Great idea otherwise. This should be a really good business to be in.
|Maurício Gomes
GOG uses DosBox mainly to make old games run, and indeed if would be great if someone added SuperEagle or Hq3x to DosBox...
I love GOG o/ They sell games for a great price (seriously, I think for example that L4D and some other new games should be priced at 20 USD at maximum... 60 USD is a bizarre price). Also they sell... Good Old Games ;)
It is cool that I finnaly could buy a legal copy of Screamer, how I love that game...
|Tom Newman
Great service for sure. I can't think of how many times I've thought about revisiting some older PC titles, but don't know how to obtain them. Smart service - definately fills a gap left by some of the more established download services.

Instagram Video Doesn't Make Facebook a Better Investment, Yet
Alexander is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) recently made some changes to Instagram. The company introduced Instagram video, which basically allows the average user to make short fifteen second clips.
What went wrong?
I think that Jenna Wortham from The New York Times made a strong point:
The introduction of video sharing on Instagram feels like the latest indicator of that disconnect. Video is imperfect. It's a lot harder to craft a perfect video of your outdoor picnic, of waves crashing at the beach. It takes a lot more thought to turn the everyday quotidian into the spectacular, regardless of the dozen filters, editing effects and smoothing software that Instagram's new video feature offers.
I want to add further that. It's really difficult to be comfortable with who you are as a person on video versus camera. On camera, it's a lot easier to take still frame shots that are perfected versions of who I am. But with video, that becomes a lot more difficult. Because of this, I believe that initial viewership data may indicate that the new video feature may have alienated pre-existing users, while taking away the appeal of using Vine.
Usage of Instagram video is tepid
On the first day of Instagram Video, there were approximately 5 million video uploads, according to The New York Times. Over the course of 30 days, we can basically estimate that 150 million videos will be uploaded.
So, 150 million videos sounds like a lot, but it really isn't, especially when considering the fact that Instagram has 100 million monthly active users. This means that the average Instagram user will upload around 1.5 videos per month. So, based on preliminary user engagement figures, Instagram video may not be monetized anytime soon. Not until the average Instagram user becomes more accustomed to taking videos of themselves.
Source: Huffington Post
On the bright side, Instagram has been able to take away the amount of link-sharing of Vine videos when compared to Instagram. Now, users are more inclined to take care of all of their social needs with the use of Instagram rather than alternating in between Vine and Instagram. Vine is owned by Twitter, so this is going to be a bit of a blow for the competing social network.
If winning is about beating the competition, then Instagram has won. But, if Instagram was about keeping the users engaged, well, maybe the company fell a little short of that, as only a small handful of people are willing to put themselves out there using video.
How to position
Investors should consider investing in Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO).
Google has a bright future ahead of it. The company's success in Android, YouTube, Google AdWords, Google AdSense, and Google Maps puts its well ahead of the competition. Some are even speculating on the company's monopoly position through its acquisition of Waze. I'll have more on that later!
In the emerging markets, tablet devices are being seen as substitutes to traditional tower and laptop PCs. Search advertising is likely to trend higher, based on the fact that internet capable devices are projected to triple between 2010 and 2020. If that is the case, then the number of ad-sales, along with app-store purchases will grow exponentially. Google's growth is predictable, whereas Facebook's isn't.
Yahoo! is another compelling investment opportunity as the company provided guidance that non-GAAP operating income will grow from $566 million to $1.1 billion in 2013. Basically, the amount of operating income is projected to double. This will be driven by falling costs. The company has growth potential as it plans to buy out Hulu in order to become a major player in video distribution.
The stock currently trades at a 7.4 earnings multiple, which is inflated because of the $4.6 billion gain on the sale of Alibaba. This is what gave earnings a serious boost, which is why investors should focus on the forward earnings multiple (earnings multiple based on earnings that are one year out). The company has a 20.1 forward earnings multiple. The earnings multiple is reasonable when considering the projected growth of the stock.
I believe that Facebook will grow Instagram Video into a success, but there are factors that are inhibiting it from being as successful as it could potentially be. This will weigh on the minds of investors going forward. That being the case, both Google and Yahoo! are likely to grow earnings at a consistent rate going forward.

Police concern over missing Bradford teenager
12:23pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News
A 17-YEAR-OLD has been missing from his home in Bradford for two weeks.
Kieran Williams has not been seen since 2.30pm on June 6.
PC Gavin Robinson, of Bradford East neighbourhood policing team, said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who has seen Kieran since this time or who has information about his current whereabouts.
"Kieran has been reported missing before and has been found in Manchester and Wigan so it is possible he may have travelled to one of these areas.
"If Kieran himself sees or hears this appeal I would urge him to make contact to confirm he is safe and well."
Kieran is white, about 5ft 7ins and slim, with short light-brown hair, blue eyes and a Manchester accent. He normally has a goatee-style beard, said police. He also has a tattoo on one of his wrists that is believed to say 'DAD'.
He was last seen wearing cream/white chino trousers, a white vest, red checked shirt and brown shoes.
Anyone with information can call police on 101.

It is important to choose a good accountant for you and or your business. Not just any accountant will do. Irvine, California has many accountants. Anyone can calculate numbers, but it takes a creative individual to sit back and do a useful analysis that can assist you in running your business more profitably. A good accountant is not only knowledgeable with tax preparation and tax planning, but keeps up on tax matters.
When looking for an accountant that is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) you can check his references using the California Board of Accountancy at http://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/lookup.shtml . It is also wise to interview the accountant or CPA and ask for references in industries related to yours.
Accountants use different software to perform their services. They can train or assist you with the bookkeeping or they can do the work for you. Consult with your accountant as to the type of software that is best for your business. There are advantages and disadvantages with each software. You must be knowledgeable of the internal controls the software offers. Some accounting software integrates with your bank accounts and payroll services.

GR.. How is Gudbreson doing physically? do you think PD finally gets the fact that you cnat have quality players on the ice without an enforcer? Someone has to confront him on this ...
hey gr do you think grabner gets a spot on the team ?? he finally looked good on the ice last game even though they got smoked
Any guesses on cuts, sir? I think FLA needs Peters as the 13th forward.
We got a new scoreboard?????
I take that back, it looks like they just put lipstick on a pig.
no new score board just "Jet Blue" colors, no more "Florida Panther Colors" red and yellow.
Bring back the real Florida Panthers uniforms and the real Florida Panthers, we want to party like its 1999 brought to you by the true fans and not some corporate sponsor
no ads on the scoreboard however. I'm as shocked as anyone...
I'm getting tired of all this girly blue. It's like they're trying to make it the primary color. It makes me sick.
If they're really making everything blue because of 'JetBlue', then I really want Yormark gone now more than I ever did.

Popular Uprising May Demand Change in Egypt's Relationship with Israel
Interview with Ghada Talhami, professor of politics emerita at Lake Forest College, conducted by Melinda Tuhus
The question of how the popular uprising in Egypt will affect the liberation struggle of the Palestinian people is one of great concern in the U.S. as well as in the Middle East. The Camp David peace accords were signed in 1978 by Menachem Begin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt, who was assassinated three years later. For the past 30 years, under Hosni Mubarak, Egypt has collaborated with Israel to seal off the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza and has been Israel's most powerful Arab ally.

News: Ne-Yo Wants That Old Mike Back, Boycotts "Michael" [Video]
Monday, Dec 20, 2010 9:00PM
R&B singer Ne-Yo has publicly opened up about his disapproval of the new posthumous Michael Jackson album, Michael, and why he will not support the late pop star's project.
From Ne-Yo's perspective, the late Jackson would not have released Michael.
"I haven't heard it yet," Ne-Yo told New York paparazzi. "I'm not really trying to hear that. Nah. I'm gonna stick to my old Mike. He was definitely a perfectionist. Mind you, if Michael was still alive, I don't think that album would be out yet. I don't think it would be out yet." (TMZ)
Black Eyed Peas' frontman Will.i.am has also publicly criticized the album.
"Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are," he says, "to say that what [Michael] contributed during his life wasn't enough. He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful. There's no honoring...Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they're finished. Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn't have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used...he was that hands-on." (Entertainment Weekly)
Despite the criticism, artists like Lenny Kravitz, Akon and 50 Cent appear on the LP.
"[Michael Jackson] said he was interested in working with me and said he had something he wanted me to actually hear," 50 said in an interview. "To talk to him is confirmation on different levels that you've made it. He said he wanted to work with me and [he] had some ideas and I'm like, 'Yeah, I would love to.' I'm nervous and all that on the phone, and I don't usually get nervous because I really don't care about a lot of the other artists but Mike is special. Something different -- after Mike passed, Mike was gone and all the confusion takes place. Things settle down a little bit, and I get a call to actually come in and perform on the actual song he intended for us to work on together." (MJ Jackson)
The project is currently slated to debut atop the sales chart this week.
Epic's MICHAEL, the late superstar's second official posthumous release (after last year's This Is It soundtrack), hit retail Tuesday, and first-week sales estimates are now between 225-250k for the album. Estimates for R. Kelly's typically salacious Love Letter are in the 150-160k range, which would beat most industry forecasts, as the veteran R&B superstar tends to do. (HITS Daily Double)

For me it was because I got a bunch of hand-me-down lenses to get me started.
To be honest, I kinda regret going with Canon, but at this point replacing all my lenses with Nikon equivalents would be costly.
Canon cameras lack a lot of capabilities that I would really like to have.
Like what?
I'd like to know too.
Besides the basic trait of Nikon differentiating performance tiers by resolution, and Canon by AF; there are no features I can think of that Nikon has, that Canon doesn't have on their equivalent model.
One stands out to me: (more so because there are Third Party hacks for it) Nikon Mid range bodies can do more than 3 AEB's, something that I have always wanted. Canon does 3 AEB for all bodies except the 1D series, where it allows 7 AEB. Why not allow a 5AEB in the mid-range line (Yes ML gives us that option, but it should be standard).
That was the only feature I could think of too, but since ML lets me do 9, I disregarded it.

Listen to Mayor Kenoi's comments about the upcoming budget:
Mayor Billy Kenoi spoke Tuesday to more than 150 people at a combined Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce/Kona Rotary meeting. Among other things, he spoke of the County's success in getting federal stimulus funding for infrastructure projects. Mayor Kenoi says Hawaii County got 38% of federal stimulus money allocated to the state for roads. That includes $46 million dollars for the Ane Keohokalole Highway, the mid level road. Kenoi said there is $15 million dollars more to extend the mid level road between Hina Lani and Ka'iminani, when the Governor will release it.
He also said his administration is working to provide better support to business. One example he cited is in the planning department: Since November, the average time to get a building permit has dropped to only 30 days, from its previous average of from six to twelve months. How did they do it? Before, each permit traveled from department to department. Under the new plan, the departments all gather in one room, and they move the permit through at lightning speed.
Plans for next year's budget, due March 1st to Hawaii County Council, are still not firm. He did say he's already reduced actual people, not just head count, by 142. The Mayor was not ready to go public about an area of concern to everybody—will property taxes be raised? Kenoi said he's still gathering information. He said he wants to keep homeowner property rates at current levels—but until he gets a complete picture of what each department can do to cut expenses, everything is on the table.
The Mayor and several cabinet members also addressed several miscellaneous items:
-County Park and Rec Director Bob Fitzgerald said the final Environmental Assessment for Makae'o Park, Old Airport Park, is done. Now, the challenge is finding the funding to move the project forward.
-Lako Street: there has been a strong community desire to extend Lako Street down to Ali'i Drive to provide a mauka-makai connector. The Mayor said finally the issues regarding the estate that owned the property between the Lutheran Church and Ali'i Drive are close to being resolved. Warren Lee said they'll start property acquisition as soon as they are able.
-La'aloa mauka makai connector: the design is complete, and the Mayor has asked for the ok to get funds via a bond float.
-Mass transit routes have increased by 20%, and ridership is up by 52%. Right now, the County Bus is free, but odds are, there will be a fare proposal included in the budget.
-Director of Water Supply Milton Pavao said the Ocean View well is coming along, and should be complete by September, 2011.
-Mayor Kenoi said he continues to oppose the Department of Education's proposal to charge an impact fee only on Kona building projects. The DOE acknowledged the first school they plan to build on Hawaii Island will be in Waikoloa–but that's 15th on the list!! DOE is imposing an impact fee now in Maui, but the Mayor said it is not fair to single out areas to be charged–especially if DOE plans no new schools in the area.
-Mayor said the County Emergency Operations Center was the first in the state to mobilize when the February, 2010 tsunami threatened. He gave kudos to Quince Mento and all the County workers.

Recent rainy weather has made roads on the West Virginia Turnpike exceptionally slippery.
State Police recorded three crashes in the past weekend. More than 409 accidents have been recorded so far for this year.
While bad weather and twisting roads cause problems for motorists, drivers say the biggest culprit in causing accidents are reckless drivers.
"On my way up here, I saw a girl texting on her phone and that made my stomach hurt so bad," said Stacey Murray.
There have been at least three crashes at the Paint Creek Exit along on I-77 this year. The most recent incident involved a tractor trailer rollover this Sunday.
"I think this is a dangerous area around here because it's so winding and you have to respect that," said Eric Skarl.
Rather than wait for authorities to address the problems, Skarl says the best thing to do is to practice caution yourself.
"I plan ahead and look where the radar is. I won't hesitate to pull over when its rainy," he said.

Update: New Direction
I have been overlooking this site for some time now. Now the time has now come that for me to reevaluate what direction I wish to take this site in. I am not sure whether I will start restart the list of games played or not. Most likely if I do I will add more commentary to the games, and more helpful suggestions each week, because I do not think the list alone is helpful to many as it is now. I do have a few games described, but would like to add many more. I am also considering added a links page to more resources. So with this new plan in mind if you happen upon this site, please feel free to submit your Awana game ideas either in an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com, or if you believe it pertains to a specific post then feel free to add your ideas as a comment. Then I shall add them to the list of games, I am not going to be able to build a large list of games nor build a truly valuable site without your input so please submit your ideas.

A Commitment to Your Community
You probably already know that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has a presence not only in the United States, but across the world. But you might not realize that that the people who make up the DEA live and work wherever drug trafficking occurs, from large metropolitan areas to small rural towns, and every kind of place in between.
The People Behind the Badges
The men and women of DEA aren't just drug enforcement agents—we're parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. We've seen how drugs rob young people of their promise and dreams, and how entire families are affected by a child's drug abuse. And we're committed to protecting our young people by doing everything we can to help families get the information and help they need to keep their homes safe from drug abuse.
Enrique Camarena, Red Ribbon Week
Commemorate Red Ribbon Week and raise awareness of drug use, encourage drug-free lifestyles, and remember the death of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena.
