Las Vegas Budget Gap
AIR DATE: March 17, 2010
The City of Las Vegas unveiled its budget reduction plan to close the City of Las Vegas' budget gap a couple of weeks ago. The announcement from the city said the recommendations, if approved by the City Council, would result in the elimination of 215 full time positions and ultimately mean 171 current employees will be laid off through a reduction in the city's workforce.
The city's plan assumes no concessions from the unions. That, according to the City, means the only approach to balancing the budget is reductions in programs, services and staff. Mayor Oscar Goodman is asking for an 8% pay cut across the board and wants the unions to re-open their contracts.

will join us in studio to talk about the plan and what went down at the March 10th meeting.

During the recession of the 1980s, in a the small town in northern Colorado, Hewlett-Packard needed to downsize. Their solution was the following: Everyone worked 4 days a week for 9 hours instead of 8. All employees then got a 3 day weekend. This meant that everyone was cut back 4 hours a week in work and pay, and this included the people at the very top. This translate to a 10% pay cut, for all. After two years HP recovered and tried to reset the schedule to the old 5 day a week 8 hour day. NO ONE wanted to change! Everyone found the extra hour of work on the 4 days a week a fine trade for a 3 day weekend. The employees reported being more rested on Monday, deeply pleased with the extra time to get domestic errands done on Friday, and spending more quality down time on the traditional Saturday and Sunday weekend! There are solutions. The key here was that even the big wigs at the top took the pay cut along with all the other employees.

I applaud the City Manager for being communicative about the financial situation of the City. However, The City has neglected to mention to the public that it has conducted a "Class Comp Study" which will further reduce the pay of MOST City employees when implemented. The 2009 average City employee salary is a little less than $75,000, as published by Channel 8. If the City was only asking for 8% the collective bargaining unit memberships would probably be more inclined to support the request. But the City is asking for an 8% immediate reduction in wages, 0% merit increase, 0% Cost of Living Increase, and a freeze on longevity pay for two years with no promise of an increase after that time is elapsed, while eliminating positions AND is offering no promise to lay off employees. Nevada's unemployment rate is in double digits. Many City employees are married to the unemployed and simply cannot afford to take multiple reductions in wages. Just another thought. . .
Mar 12, 2010 11:48:38 AM
Just to let you know, there are quite a number of city employees who are willing to accept pay cuts in order to save a number of jobs and services that might needlessly be cut and who feel they need to do their part for the city and taxpayers.
City Employee
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Just make the cuts already! The imbalance in salaries between the private sector and the public sector is sickening you are creating a elitist group of government workers.
There is a distinct issue with lack of transparency in city government that created this monster.
How can a firefighter that trains for only 20 weeks before employment have compensation rise to over 250,000.00 plus benefits and early retirement, while a teacher that trains for 5 to 10 years makes 50,000?
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
OK so we understand about city hall. But don't you think it is inappropriate that you are building a multi-million dollar facility and you are laying off people.
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Forgive my ignorance, but please explain how the unions have so much power given that we are a right to work state?
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Ms. Fretwell - Channel 8 published the 2009 salaries that show that the average salary was less than $75,000 not $100,000. In addition that list showed there was a number of large salary amounts for people like Doug Selby that are no longer with the city. The impacts do not seem to be being stated accurately. Please look into this and inform the Mayor so that he can stop acting like the loss of $5-6K (8% of current salaries at the $75K average for last year) for regular employees (not fire fighters or executives who make the most) which make up the bulk of the work force is significant and can be the difference between keeping their homes, paying for the children's education, and meeting their other obligations.
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Instead of laying off employees why doesn't the Mayor just freeze everyone's income for one year. What they don't have they not miss. But taking 8% plus COLA, steps and freezing longevity is about 24% of everyone's wages.
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Just for your information, not everyone in the City makes $100,000.00. Some of us don't even make $50,000.00. The People that make over $100,000.00 should get a 10% percent reduction of their salaries. The ones that make less than $50,000.00 should get only a 5% to 6% percent reduction.
Most of the people in the fire department and management really make that much money, but not us!
They can't just generalize that everyone makes that much money, WHEN IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Thank you for listening to the people you represent, and listening to their pleas for preserving our cultural entities.
Now I hear the Libraries are in danger. What can the citizens, and what can you do to stop the rape of the one service that unemployed workers, our youth, and our seniors need the most right now: free and accessible information through the library system?????
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Mr Goodman - Well done! At long last someone is coming up with tough yes practical decisions. What would the public or employees have him do? Seriously, what? Keeping people employed because it is the humane thing to do goes contrary to the very idea of Capitalism - you have to do what makes sense for the community and reducing pay and/or work weeks makes sense in this economy.
Well done!
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
I think the politicians are wrong in thinking all citizens are against taxes. I would rather pay more taxes, and have services. than the other way around. While living for 10 years in the U.K. I paid a third of my wages in taxes and enjoyed free college education, free medical, dental and vision, and 2 mail deliveries a day....and I took full advantage of all those and many other wonderful social services.
I do not want to be the one responsible for inspecting meat, repairing bridges, or controlling air space. How can I pay more taxes, and live in a country with safe food, safe roads, with smart and healthy neighbors.
Mar 12, 2010 00:00:00 AM
Why aren't they including ALL city employees?? I resent the implication that some jobs are more important than others! MOST employees that this will effect are NOT making $100,000! The Mayor is using numbers that don't reflect the MAJORITY of city workers!

Steubenville is a city and county seat of Jefferson County, Ohio, United States[1] and is located along the Ohio River. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 18,659.[2] The city's name comes from Fort Steuben, a 1786 fort that sat within the city's current limits and was named for German-Prussian military officer Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Today, a replica of the fort is open to the public. Steubenville is known as the "City of Murals", after its more than 25 downtown murals. It is home to Franciscan University of Steubenville and Eastern Gateway Community College (formerly Jefferson Community College). [edit] Research Tips

office (585) 234-1056
The Rochester Regional Group
Take a walk in the Grove and admire ancient giant trees, many over 200 years old. Enjoy the peace, tranquility and sounds of wildlife. Six years ago I was encouraged by the City of Rochester to form a group of concerned citizens to formulate a management plan to help restore and protect the old-growth forest at Cobbs Hill Park, known as the Washington Grove. This early group was supported by the Rochester Regional Group of the Sierra Club. The group of citizens has grown and incorporated as a non-profit 501(c) (3) so that they can raise funds and apply for grants to support the work. Six years later, and after many hundreds of hours of volunteer work, there are lots of signs of progress.
Over 600 invasive Norway maples have been removed by the City and volunteers creating openings in the canopy for native species to be planted. These include various species of oaks, flowering dogwood, shadbush, cucumber trees (a native magnolia),and sugar maples. With the removal of the Norway maples, the group is now focusing on invasive Autumn olive shrubs and herbs such as Lilies of the Valley and black swallow-wort.
Many trails have been stabilized by spreading woodchips on them.
The volunteers who have made this progress possible have been attracted from area neighborhoods, colleges such as RIT, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and a group of employees of Southwest Airlines. So… join the other volunteers next Spring on Clean Sweep day to help continue the amazing work being done there. See the facebook page, Friends of Washington Grove, Inc.
Nestled behind the reservoir atop Cobb's Hill lies a beautiful grove of giant old oaks, commemorated as Washington Grove after our First President. This is nature's cathedral and many come here to stroll, exercise, walk their dogs, or watch for migrating birds. As beautiful as it is the forest is showing signs that all is not well. Humans have introduced invasive plants such as the Norway maple that are crowding out native trees. Trails have widened and are eroding with heavy traffic. Some native species of plants and animals are declining or have disappeared in the last twenty years. But help is on the way.
A dedicated coalition of people and neighborhood groups have joined a project sponsored by the Sierra Club in partnership with the City of Rochester, to restore and protect the Grove. After 10 months of work, they have produced a Master Plan which has been submitted and approved by the City of Rochester.
A variety of actions have been proposed to address the problems faced by the Grove. The Project is looking for volunteers to help with actions such as modifying existing trails to prevent erosion and repair damage. Invasive species will be tagged and eliminated gradually. Native species will be planted to replace those that are aging and dying. Pac Tac teams will be trained and begin walking the Grove to educate others about the Project, encourage cooperation with Project efforts and discourage misuse of the Grove. On June 6, and June 20, a scientific study of the Grove will be done by a graduate student at SUNY Brockport to determine the structure and composition of the forest.
If you are looking for a community project that will enhance our neighborhood and City, and would like to work with other visionary and committed people on a multi-year project that will make a difference, please call Peter Debes, the Project Leader (585) 234-1056 or contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com
On our last Tuesday volunteer date, our group removed more than 60 Autumn olive shrubs-- great progress controlling this invasive shrub that was introduced as a landscape plant to the U.S. in 1830.
You may also notice that the volunteers have begun working on controlling erosion on the two "kettles" in Washington Grove. These rare and important glacial features are the two deep depressions on the North side of the Grove, near the old water tanks. In recent years the edges of these pits have been compromised, in part by mountain bikers. In order to reduce this activity a city forestry crew felled a white oak that had died when someone girdled it with a chainsaw several years ago. Though fallen, the beautiful tree now has new life as "the oak bridge" that runs across the bottom of the smaller kettle. In the near future, the edges of these kettles will replanted with native plants to further reduce the impact of erosion.
The Friends of Washington Grove is please to announce that we have received another mini-grant from the Sierra Club Online Community grant program. This will help with more replanting on our next volunteer date. Plus, we are busy working to secure more grant dollars to continue this important work.
The Cobb's Hill Reservoir and Park were opened in 1908. The woods we call "Washington Grove" was purchased in 1912 from the Beckwith family who had farmed extensively on the east side of the hill. Private citizens raised some of the money to make this purchase. In those days, the Grove was simply called "the Cobb's Hill Woods." or the "Dingle" or the "Dingle Dell," old British words that describe magical shady woods with hills and secluded hollows, especially like the area where the kettles are located. 2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of this park. Thank you! The Friends of Washington Grove
About the Friends of Washington Grove The Washington Grove is a woodland area nestled on the eastern edge of Cobb's Hill Park.
The Friends of Washington Grove is a volunteer group that provides a range of activities supportive of Washington Grove and the City of Rochester's management plan for the Grove.
In 2008, a coalition of organizations and interested individuals came together to develop a management plan for the Washington Grove under the guidance of City officials.
The group worked to identify the users of the Grove, their needs and interests, and the problems facing the area. Out of these efforts, The Forestry Division developed a trial management plan.
The City held a public meeting on May 20, 2010 to present this plan and solicit community input.
Following the meeting, City foresters and The Friends of Washington Grove began work in the Grove.

Not wanting to wait till his office at Tiruverumbur, here, was opened, S. Senthil Kumar, Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) MLA, representing Tiruverambur Assembly constituency, received petitions from the public in an open place in front of the MLA office on Tuesday.
The MLA office at Tiruverumbur was locked after Mr. Senthil Kumar was suspended along with five other party MLAs in March from the Assembly for a period of six months for their involvement in the attack on Radhapuram MLA S. Michael Rayappan in early February. The suspension came following a recommendation from the Committee of Privileges.
Although the quantum of punishment handed down to him ended on September 24, the MLA office remained locked.
Mr. Senthil Kumar said he spoke to his party leader and decided to accept petitions from the public in an open place.
As Mr. Senthil Kumar started accepting petitions from the public, revenue officials came to the spot and opened the MLA office.

Poor idle mystery solved!
My last 900 was disposed of because a mysterious affliction caused it to run really rich and not idle, sometimes it would stall at lights, it's idle was sometimes really low, eventually it just wouldn't fire and was out of MOT and II had a new one so I ebayed it!
Now, I changed the thermostat in my current steed on Saturday, and the damn thing wouldn't fire , it had soaked it's plugs, and for months it's had an occasional idle problem ( ie from cold it would idle at 500rpm, sometimes it just stalled) so I feared another mystery. Miraculously my local scrappy has a Lucas equipped T16 so I took it's AIC valve (?) and slapped it on my car, hey presto! The old valve shows no obvious signs of damage and was clean inside, but was evidently knackered. So a lesson to all, as I've seen similar posts on this topic many times before, try swapping your AIC valve, not just cleaning it As you were..... :wink: |

The Most OMG Moments in MTV VMA History as Told by Emojis

The MTV Video Music Awards may pass out Moonmen to its winners, but the award show is better known for giving music fans unforgettably shocking moments.
It's been 30 years since Madonna popped out of a wedding cake and rolled around on the stage, but her VMA performance is still fresh in our minds. And it was only last year that Miley Cyrus twerked up a storm of controversy with Robin Thicke – certainly no one's forgotten that. While viewers can depend on MTV to deliver the OMGs to kick off awards season, some things have changed.

Kurt Cobain's Death, 20 Years Later: Photos, Art and a Video Tour of His Childhood Home
Originally posted 04/05/2014 08:15AM
Kurt Cobain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on April 5, 1994.
The Nirvana frontman's suicide was an epochal event for most of Generation X and has resurfaced in the news recently with newly released photographs of the singer's death scene.
But Cobain continues to live on through his music. As long as there are musicians, there will be new interpretations of Nirvana songs, and as long as there are young people, there will be an appreciation for Cobain's raw pathos and deft hand with melody.
To commemorate his life are these photos – including art Cobain did as a child – and the video above.
The photos are from Life's new tribute volume, Remembering Kurt Cobain: 20 Years Later, which is now available on newsstands and in bookstores everywhere.
The video is from journalist and Nirvana fan Dave Seminara, who takes viewers through the Aberdeen, Wash., home where Cobain spent most of his youth.

I won't lie, I was a bit nervous with the lower price tag on a Tory Purse, I am thrilled with my new bag!!! The "small" tote isn't small by any means, its a nice sized bag, easily fits all my purse "needs" along with diapers & wipes for my 2 year old, and her sippy cup!! Or my iPad for work!!
I am beyond happy with my purse & would recommend it to anybody looking for a nice classic new bag! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melder0918 You Can't Go Wrong With This Bag
If you thinking about getting this bag........Do it! You will not be disappointed. I bought this bag in light oak and the color is perfect and goes with everything. The size is great and has plenty of pockets to store all your stuff. I also love that the bag fits over your shoulder or carried on your arm.
January 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annie02 I love this tote!
I looked at this purse for months and after the holidays I decided to buy it and it was one of the best decisions I've made (purse wise)! I bought this tote in the luggage color and it goes with every outfit I wear casual or fancy. It's easy to carry around and the perfect size for someone who doesn't have to carry around a ton of textbooks. Being a senior in high school I love to carry this stylish bag around with my folder and a planner and it still has room for more things possibly my iPad or a small laptop. Also, the quality is great!
I love it and it's my second purchase from Tory. Definitely recommend this to any girl who wants something stylish to carry for school or work or anywhere!

Translate this page Rail service remains suspended through San Diego County until MondaySunday, March 16th, 2014 Issue 11, Volume 18.
Amtrak trains will not run south of Irvine, and Metrolink trains will reverse course at the Laguna Niguel-Mission Viejo station Saturday and Sunday. Trains leaving Union Station-Los Angeles on the Coastliner route, and from Riverside on the 91 Line, will operate on the truncated schedules. Several sections of track will be renovated in San Diego County, meaning commuter trains there will also not run. Limited bus service will be provided to bridge the suspension of service, but patrons should consult the rail agencies for details. Construction work will be performed at the Santa Margarita Bridge in Camp Pendleton, the Coast Boulevard crossing in Del Mar, the San Dieguito Bridge, and between Sorrento Valley Road and Miramar Road. Rail service is scheduled to be restored in time for the Monday morning commute. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

This keeps the archive faithful to the original file system. You should use /lfs1 instead of $LFS to back up the partition you want.

There is one problem with doing this. Most file system backups are very large, so everthing will just scroll off the page and depending on how big a scroll back you have, may be lost. Errors will intermix with the output and are hard to find. Tar doesn't stop for all errors, but reports them and keeps on going. I would suggest you either redirect errors to a file that you can check later, or not use the v option. Makes trouble shooting a lot easier if you do it this way.

Eminent artist Rafiqun Nabi, Professor at the Department of Drawing and Painting of Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka, shared his memories of Subir Chowdhury with The Daily Star. Excerpts:
Subir Chowdhury occupied a special place in the realm of fine arts. His contributions on this front were immense. Despite being an artist himself, he found very little time to create his own artworks; rather he encouraged the creativity of other prominent and promising artists. His contribution in popularising Bangladeshi art, culture and music is unparalleled. He started his career at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy where he first dreamt of organising an Asian Art Biennale in the 1980s. Artist Syed Jahangir was the director while Subir was the deputy director of the first Asian Art Biennale, Bangladesh. The legacy of that international biennale still remains. Besides, he ignited the idea of diffusing art in every nook and corner of Bangladesh through initiating "Bhrammoman Charukala".
Later, he joined Bengal Foundation where he organised many large-scale prestigious exhibitions all year round. He showcased Bangladeshi artists to the outside world and invited foreign artists, critics and academics to Bangladesh. His role in establishing and consolidating Bengal Foundation is great too. Subir created many art collectors in Bangladesh. He would convince many art connoisseurs to add to their collections. He also promoted young artists in Bangladesh. This was an outstanding accomplishment of Subir.
Subir felt an indomitable urge to involve our gurus--Qamrul Hassan, Safiuddin Ahmed, Mohammad Kibria and others-- in many prestigious exhibitions both at home and abroad. He would always think of them and execute the gigantic tasks of holding such exhibitions to perfection.
Safiuddin Sir was a very introverted and strong personality. He created art works with little inclination to exhibit and sell them. A persuasive Subir Chowdhury compelled him to exhibit his art works at Bengal Gallery. Subir had strong powers of persuasion. Artists, connoisseurs, collectors and people by and large held him in high esteem. Subir Chowdhury conferred the title of "Shilpaguru" on Safiuddin Sir.
While displaying Bangladeshi arts and artists in countries like Japan, Australia, USA, Canada and Maldives, Subir would single-handedly organise the logistics of accompanying artists abroad and liaising with international galleries, buyers and the media. On March 16 last, he accompanied 10 Bangladeshi contemporary artists, including me, to display their works under the title "Jonmobhumir Gaan" in three cities in Australia. When the exhibition reached Canberra, Subir suddenly felt ill and was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour. Bad luck reigns supreme! He left us forever yesterday morning. May his departed soul rest in eternal peace!
Subir was my student at the Department of Drawing and Painting, University of Dhaka. He was one of my favourite students too. A combination of many fine qualities, he was both prominent and popular in his student life. He was politically conscious right from his student days. He contributed much to our sublime Liberation War by organising teachers, students and many others during those tumultuous times.

I voted with McCain, and I'm OK with him. I still would have preferred Romney, though. I voted for him in the primary and feel stronger now that he'd have been the better candidate.
I was a Romney guy too, as is my wife and just about everyone I know. McCain is a fallback, anti Obama vote for most of us.
Ralph Nader would do wonders for this country if ever given a legit chance. As long as he's running I'll never vote for anyone else, especially not a democrat.
I am seriously writing in Bob Kraft. each of these guys is talking about what wrong with Washington.....I'm sick of hearing about the problems in the Redskins secondary. Think about it. He and Putin know each other (remember the ring 'sharing') He has built a dynasty when there is not supposed to be one. Lets elect a winner. President Kraft!
I voted for Obama. Palin is a total idiot so just that reason alone does it for me. McCain doesn't need to pass away for her to do damage to result in a world crisis. McCain's mortgage foreclosure forgiveness and renogiating at new values is subsidizing the stupid home owners that lived beyond their means and had a great time. So in essence I was put $50,000 or some large amount in the hole because home values will be devalued in the end. That is socialism right there. Just like Palin giving $1500 to alaskan citizens. Obama says spread the wealth. it seems they just spread the wealth with 2.2 trillion so I might as well get some money while they're giving it away. they already took a portion of my 401k and they took away the future. The corporations walked away with this money, not poor people. that is the most stupid rationalization to not vote democrat. if you added up all the programs for underprivilged it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the bailout and what these corporations make. if anyone thinks he pubs are here to help you in the 95%, it's the biggest illusion of recorded history. they get you hating the poor while they're unloading the bank in the alley. sadly we're gonna be left just with debt. 8 years of bush is enough for me. the gop has ran up spending for 20 of the last 28 years. it's no coincidence that the democrats are getting voted in. socialism for the rich is unacceptable. when will we have enough? when the top 5% has all the resources? they already siphon us of interest every day through mortgages, through the fed, through credit cards. they jacked up oil. it suddenly goes from 4 to 2.50. obama isn't perfect, but time for a change

Your Cancun vacation
It's true that tourists fill Cancun and its happening Hotel Zone, but for good reason. Flights are cheap, the beaches are the best this close to U.S. soil and there is plenty of outdoor action. While partying is synonymous with this spring break hot-spot, plenty of quiet, couples-only resorts claim a strip of sand. Families take to the Mayan ruins, water parks and dolphin swims.
With the comforts and commercial temptations of home, Cancun is a good place to get your international feet wet, and between sunning all day and dancing all night, you can sleep on the plane back home.

You tell him about your cancer on a Sunday,
in the shower of all places, in between brunch plans
and speculations about whether or not the weather
will ever get any colder - hasn't it been the strangest November?
Just the strangest.
You casually mention that somewhere
deep in the secret space between your hips
your own cells are proliferating uncontrollably,
whispering treason and passing down forgeries,
teaching each other the steps of mitosis with alarming intent.
You don't miss a beat as you drop survival percentages
mixed in with tomorrow's rain forecast
and predictions about the game later that afternoon -
easy as breathing, even as counterfeit armies
shred through the soft tissue just below
his favorite place on your spine.
And as you stand there
calmly making conversation
and sharing the last of the soap,
he watches the water
run quiet rivers
through your hair.

Just received these 2 weeks ago and after playing with them a few times now. I can only say great things! They are light weight and conform to your legs perfectly. The removable inner pads are great and I love the neoprene wraps around the leg straps. Makes for a great comfortable fit.

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness is not worried about losing Arjen Robben, insisting there is still plenty of time to reach an agreement over a new contract.
The Dutchman's current deal expires in 2015 and Hoeness is optimistic a new offer will be accepted in good time.
"There are still 18 months to go so I don't get what all the fuss is about," Hoeness told Kicker magazine.
"Arjen knows what he's got here and we know what we've got with him.
"He's not putting us under any pressure and we're not putting him under any either. We will find a solution when the time is right."
Robben moved on to 51 career Bundesliga goals at the weekend with a brace helping Bayern beat Eintracht Braunschweig and make it 39 games in a row without defeat.
They lead the Bundesliga by four points from Bayer Leverkusen, who face third-placed Borussia Dortmund, who are a further three points behind, next weekend.

Sessegnon U-Turn - 'I'm Staying!'
Stephane Sessegnon has insisted he is enjoying life under new Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio and has given no thought to leaving.
Stephane Sessegnon: "The issue with my family is settled now.
"Two years ago when I arrived, sometimes my family wasn't here, but now it is fine."They live here now and the problem is completely finished. Even then (last summer) though, I never gave it (leaving) a thought. I didn't think about it and I didn't think about what was being said about me."He (Di Canio) has told me I can score more, more than I was scoring before.
"He has told me I have the quality to do that. He told me I need to score more goals, and since then I have scored two in two games."I like this kind of management and it shows. In one month we have had three games, and I have scored two goals. It is good at the moment. After that, we don't know, but at the moment we like this coach."

Refinishing hardwood floor with existing nail holes
Hi everyone. I want to sell my house so I can move South. The house is over 100 years old and the hardwood floors were in bad shape (warped in some areas and wider spacing between the planks). I thought it was unsalvageable so I told the contractor to put half inch plywood on all the floors for carpeting. I've since found out that buyers don't want carpeting and in this market I want the house to look as appealing as I can afford to make it. Let me say that I have already put almost 100,000 into the house over the course of 4 years and I am running out of money so I am trying to cut down on the remaining costs. I started this rehab before the market downturn.
I want my contractor to remove the plywood and sand the floors. I figure this is the least expensive way to go. However, each 4x8 sheet of plywood has about 25 or so screws in it. The contractor said that he can remove the plywood, use wood filler on the screw holes, sand the floor and stain it with a dark stain so the holes won't show. With about 2000 square feet of flooring to do there will be a lot of holes to cover up. I can't visualize how this will look and I don't know what to do. I have looked at laminate and would not want to pay more than $1.00 per square foot for it (on sale). Hardwood is out of the question due to the cost. Anyway, has anyone had this problem? How did it look afterwards? Is this doable or will I have a floor with thousands of dark or light dots on it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Advertisement |

Hampstead -- Almost two weeks ago, six-year-old Emily Hollis lost her battle with cancer. Saturday, dozens of children celebrated Emily's life, while raising cancer awareness at the Pender County Relay for Life.
"It would be a lot better if she were here." Jackson Moore remembers the last time he saw Emily, and says this is the best way to remember her.
"I'm coming here for Emily, right before my baseball game, because the last time I saw her was Halloween at her Halloween party right across the street from her house, and I'm coming out today to support her."
Emily's team wore T-shirts decorated with a picture she drew before she died. The Topsail High School track was a sea of blue. Friends said Emily was a real inspiration to all of them.
Some Relay participants spent the night in tents while others just kept walking to raise money for Cancer research and awareness about the disease.
"It makes me feel pretty proud that my friends and family can do this for Emily, and fight for cancer." Participants hope with each foot forward they're one step closer to finding a cure.

The secret of Mitt Romney's Iowa success? Electability.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney 's rise to the top of the polls in Iowa is built almost exclusively on a single word: electability.
Look inside the Des Moines Register poll, which showed Romney leading the way with 24 percent of the vote, and it's clear that the former Massachusetts governor's "head" appeal (we need to nominate someone who can beat President Obama next fall) is winning out over the doubts many voters in the state still have about his conservative bona fides and ability to relate to average Iowans.
(The full topline results of the Register poll are here.)
Nearly half of likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers (48 percent) say that Romney was the "most electable" candidate in the field, well ahead of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (13 percent) and Texas Rep. Ron Paul (12 percent).
But on virtually ever other character measure, Romney falls well short. Just 10 percent of Republicans say he is the best at "relating to ordinary Iowans" (ahead of only Gingrich) while 7 percent said he is the "least ego driven" of the field.
Romney is similarly dwarfed on the question of who is the most knowledgeable candidate in the field (41 percent for Gingrich, 16 percent for Romney) and who will best limit the size and influence of government (44 percent Paul, 9 percent Romney).
What's clear from the Register numbers is that while Iowa Republicans may not be in love with Romney they are in love with the idea of getting rid of President Obama next fall and believe the former Massachusetts governor is far and way the best candidate to do that.
The danger in Romney's electability appeal, of course, is that it is based in practicality, not passion. And passion matters — particularly in a caucus setting where people have to be willing to dedicate a decent portion of their Tuesday night to picking a candidate.
Of course, excitement tends to follow winning — ah, human nature — and so if Romney is able to pull off a win tomorrow night, it's uniquely possible that the passion gap he currently finds himself on the wrong side of narrows significantly before New Hampshire votes on Jan. 10.
If Romney disappoints in Iowa — third place or a distant second — then the passion gap could widen and Romney's electability argument could lose its punch.
Ron Paul leaves the rosy outlook to others

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Anyone confirm that high-res texture pack drops FPS?

--- LawlzerPanzers! | |
Not on mine, my build is in my sig. Ive heard it does on some though. --- PS3 - Wii - 360 - PSP - PC Gamer Intel i5-2500k - Asus P8P67 Pro - EVGA GTX 570 - 8GB G.SKILL RipJaws X DDR3 1600MHZ | |
Intel Pentium E220 2.2ghz dual core, 4gb RAM and 1gb ATI Radeon 4670. Run game on high with minimal issues and it stayed the same after the texture pack. So try it out. If you don't like the results then disable it like any other mod. --- Slayer > KISS and Quiet Riot. People that agree 7http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2010/09/PC-Gamer-Minecraft-cover1.jpg | |
Is this real life? If your comp can't handle higher textures, of course you will get a FPS drop. I have no idea why this would surprise anyone. --- Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid. Shooting blanks, every time, all the time. | |
Not for me. I'm running the game completely maxed out, even the FXAA box checked + the Immersive environments FXAA injector + Realistic Lighting mod. At 1920 x 1200. That's cuz I made my rig specifically to run games like this. The only stuttering I get is for a moment or two when I load the game, or I load an outdoor area. Other than that I get a frame hiccup or two occasionally while playing, but at 60 fps with vsync & controller, it runs as smooth as a console game with ultra uber graphics :D TBH I love the official texture pack. It's reduced my load times from the 2k texture pack, and although the 2k one seems sharper at times, it's a bit over the top, while the official one has alot of subtle changes that really make the game look alot better. I prefer the official one. Was using the 2k one till the original ones came out today lol. | |
Unless you have a PC that previously played Skyrim way over 60fps, then you will always take a fps hit when using a texture pack. It's common sense, really. --- The Official Noctis of the Final Fantasy Versus XIII Boards | |
My rig can run Skyrim fairly well at moderate settings (some trouble spots drop my FPS significantly, like the entrance to the mine of Fellhammer Keep), so I knew the HD textures would hurt my frame rate. It doesn't drop my FPS drastically, but it is noticeable. So, it's not a big hit to FPS. However, one thing that I cannot abide is the texture pack altering colors. Before activating the pack via the NMM, the elven gauntlets I 'm wearing on one of my characters matched the rest of the armor set. With the texture pack active, the gloves become a darker shade of the golden yellow that they are supposed to be. Since the texture pack alters more than just texture resolution, it's a no-go for me. --- ........wait, what? I'm supposed to put something witty and inspirational here? Xbox Live GT: Felis Menari | |
560 Ti here Didn't notice an overall massive drop in FPS but some areas had some noticeable slowdown where none previously existed. For me the differences were negligible and were not worth those slowdowns so I uninstalled. --- So I was standing still at a stationary store... Definitely NOT Australian | |
