Hwy 217 Commuter Trail?
For my current commute, I ride on Hwy 217.
For 3 years I've been begging for a Hwy 217 Commuter Trail, but I'm told that it is too expensive, and there isn't enough support for a trail that could cost nearly 1Mil/mile ("Can you justify 1M/mile for one rider?"). I've pointed out the success of the I205 trail, but it doesn't phase them. There's some great areas along Hwy 217 that could become a wonderful commuter/rec MUP (ie. paralleling the new Wilsonville/Beaverton Commuter Train (WES), set to start late 2008 ). I understand that there are areas that paralleling wouldn't work, but come on... Hall Blvd is dangerous, and I'm not sure that the Fanno Creek Trail would be a viable 24/7/365 commuting alternative. So, are they right? Is it 1M/mile for one rider as they say? Or, is it "If you build it they will come" as I say? I do understand that there is a problem with obtaining the funding, but I think they are dismissing it out of hand. Rubberside Down! K'Tesh Last edited by K'Tesh; 03-03-2008 at 09:10 PM. |
If there was a better, more "linked up" MUP, my BF and I would ride it.
The Fanno Creek Trail (all 4 miles or so of it) is so disjointed, and crosses several busy, large streets, that's it difficult to want to use it. I'd rather ride Hall and Scholls Ferry than the Fanno Creek Trail, to be honest. If there was a 217 commuter corridor with decent crossings and a nice wide clean surface, I'd use it in a heartbeat. I can't believe you ride ON 217! You're crazy! |
When I was talking to my Attorney, I mentioned that I commute on 217 and she said that she wasn't sure about the wisdom of that route.
When I told her my alternative was Hall Blvd, she said "You win.". She's been involved in a few crashes on Hall, and understands my thinking now. And I'm not crazy... I'm only halfway there... Rubberside down! K'Tesh |
217 South is great fun during the height of rush hour. On at Park Way, off at Canyon Road, and a hundred traffic-jammed suckers in between.
What section are you riding down? There should be an alternate route, meandering through neighborhoods or using roads like Lombard, Nimbus, or Greenway. Yeah, you sometimes have to cross a major road, but as long as you pick your intersections you can at least get a signal.
And yeah. Hall is baaaad juju. Has been for at least 20 years. Beaverton's a town where the roads were designed for 20,000 population, now forced to cope with 100,000. |
There is indeed a route:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1473835 My husband rides it (at least in the nicer weather). He says most of the major road crossings have lights, or are otherwise not difficult. He's going all the way to Tualatin; I just showed the part to Tigard. The fuzzy mapping part is the Fanno Creek Trail - doesn't show as a road on gmaps. |
When I was going to work using Hall, I started on Broadway and Watson, proceeded south until Watson joined Hall. Then it was Hall all the way down till I turned onto Cascade. Cascade crosses Scholls, then goes on to Greenburg. Greenburg to 99W, thru the parking lots of Napa Auto Parts, and 7-11, then back on Hall. Problems were found where there was no bike lane, or where Hall crosses Greenway (RIGHT HOOKS), as well as all the busy intersections and driveways. Whats worse, traffic is often faster on Hall (20-40mph) than on Hwy 217 (12-35mph) during rush hour. |
It is obvious that the westside has a lot of bike route planning to do. Fortunately I only ride through Beaverton for pleasure. How do we put pressure on these municipalities to do their freaking job on their transportation plan as required by law? Putting signs that say "bikes on Road" and "Bike Lane Ends" just isn't cutting it.
Well, I don't mean literally meandering, mainly finding a sorta-parallel route through neighborhoods without having to use Hall. Something like (and take this with a big grain of salt, as I haven't lived in Beaverton in about 10 years, and I don't know how bike-suitable some roads are in that end of town - I lived on the north end)
Broadway & Watson - to Lombard South on Lombard to Denney, jog over to Anne, then Hillcrest. Pop out at Ridgecrest, ride along the sidewalk to Greenway, cross Hall at the signal on the south side of Greenway (avoiding the obvious right hook by people barreling down the hill at 40mph). Still a little sketchy past the driveway at Albertsons, tho'. Ride through Greenway Park, cross under Scholls, as far south as you can go (can you get out at Dakota? This is where my knowledge of the park is really fuzzy). You might get forced off around Black Diamond, I can't remember. South of Dakota there should be a trail near the tracks that goes to Tigard. Take Tigard across under 99 into downtown. Yeah, it's downtown but at least everybody's moving at a crawl, right? From downtown, take Commercial or Burnham (dunno which is better, honestly) to Hall. Depends where your destination is. You could start on the west side of Hall (like Erickson or Main - but that's a lot of stop signs through Beaverton) but there's no good way past Hart w/o taking Sorrento, and while it's less traffic than Hall, there's a lot of momentum coming down the hill that puts you at risk if somebody pulls out in front of you. You could meander further west by Highland Park, but I was trying to keep you near your original route. As I kid I remember some trails cutting from Beaverton High towards Hyland Forest, but I don't know if they even exist anymore. Last edited by wyeast; 11-29-2007 at 10:35 PM. |
North-south at least there's Murray and Hall as arterials. East-west is just a mess with Farmington, Allen, and Canyon. Roads that are either too narrow or have too many driveways (both residential and commerical) dumping directly into the street - meaning cars can pop out at you literally every 50 feet. Bike routes first went in only so far as access for kids getting to/from schools. You had some feeder trails around schools into surrounding neighborhoods, but nothing really consolidated for getting from one end of town to the other. What trails I do remember tended to be narrow and buried behind bushes/housing with limited access. Tualatin Hills is trying to straighten it all out, but they've got their work cut out for them. Portland at least can cheat with its grid network to figure out bike boulevards. Westside has no grid layout, so you have to puzzle your way into cutting through neighborhoods. |

REID (Club Member) stayed Mar 2015 This review is for Nairn Have been using Nairn often for over 20 years, however disappointed to see the 40 year old toilets are still in use. The managers keep them spotless,but they are cold and draughty and well past their sale by date. When visiting sites in the south, toilets are always of a brick construction and up to date.Please give consideration to patrons of Nairn and give us a new toilet block. It is the only thing that detracts from an otherwise excellent site.

RW (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Nairn Easy to find, easy to access site, with a very warm welcome and lots of help from the managers Dave and Kath. The site is very well kept, nicely situated in trees, with extensive woodland paths, some waymarked. Strangely for Scotland, the midges weren't a problem at all, even given the close proximity to wildlife (lots of birds and red squirrels on site). The toilet block, whilst kept impeccably clean, is looking tired and dated, being of a 'portakabin'-type construction. At least the showers have an on/off tap so you don't keep having to press a button to keep the shower going! The pitches are nicely spaced, and all on sandy, well-drained soil. No real need for rocky ground pegs for the awning here. The weekly visit of the Fish and Chip van was keenly anticipated when we were there, it was very good quality food. There are lots of things to do in the local area, although bicycles/car would be recommended as the site is about 4 miles from Nairn (if you use the footpath rather than walk along the main road). The only major disappointment for us was the amount of road noise from the A96. It is a straight road with a 60mph speed limit, so if there's a noisy motorbike or car travelling at speed, it is most definitely audible on site. As well as the road, one edge of the site backs on to an industrial unit, which seems to start work at 7.30am on weekdays and sometimes at the weekend, so there is the sound of forklifts reversing, hammering, a bell when the phone rings, that sort of thing. If you were at the far end of the site, away from the office, you wouldn't hear this. Overall, a pleasant and enjoyable stay, but don't expect country peace and tranquility as the road noise (for us country dwellers) was too intrusive. C&CC please invest some money in a new toilet/shower block over the winter as this is needed. I would still visit again though, as there are lots of things to do and see in the surrounding area.

WildWestieHero (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Nairn This is a well run woodland site and great for forest walks. However it was not as charming as we had expected. It is on the A96 and noisy. Although the walk to the beach is super (through woodland) it does require you to cross the busy road and dodge golf balls on the links course. We asked advice about beach access but the team weren't forthcoming and there was no map. The facilities are like the site, clean and well run but lacks charm - they are essentially portacabins. Given the criticism poured on the Spey site for its out of date block (which btw is lovely and welcoming) I was expecting much more from the rave reviews for this site. Unlikely to rush back and for the noise conscious, don't plan a week here.

The small play area is well situated and children can play safely. Dogs are welcome. There are plenty of walks around the site. It is very central to different attractions around the Moray Firth. We had plenty places to visit that was value for money. A visit to Lock Ness Exhibition centre was well planned and layered out, a more up-to-date way of sharing information. Although we did not see any dolphins we watched the seals playing around the Firth. In the campsite we sat a watched Golden eagles soring high above the trees, Different varieties of birds, and listened to the squirrels chatting. We must not forget of course nessy hunting. Inverness is a very busy city and parking is very reasonable. Nairn is a lovely coastal town with fab beach and play area. As we ate more out in different restaurants we found prices competitive and no complaints. about the quality of the local dishes Lobster in Cromarty was very tasty. A visit to Fort George is a must as is the Culloden battle field. We did not manage to visit everything, but we will be going back. So much to see in the Highlands and people so welcoming.

Estate Tax Reform and Land Conservation
Fiscal Cliff Update
Congress Extends Relief, Eliminates Geographic Limits
The fiscal cliff deal passed by Congress permanently extends the current $5.1 million unified credit, indexed for inflation, as the top rate rises to 40%. It also permanently repeals geographic limitations on the Section 2031(c) estate tax exclusion for land under easement that otherwise would have excluded about half the country.
This agreement averts a return to estate tax levels that would have hampered intergenerational transfers of productive working landscapes, forcing many farm and ranch families to sell land for development, clear cut timber, and/or sell equipment and livestock critical to farm viability.
- See the geographic limitations that were eliminated
- Information on the estate tax benefits of land conservation
Simple Changes Can Protect Family Farms & Important Natural Resources
Some of our most important wildlife habitats, watersheds, forests, farms and prairies are held by private landowners. Estate taxes can lead to the break-up, sale and development of family-owned farm, ranch and forest lands, even when landowners would prefer to keep these lands intact, and we all lose if they're forced to sell. Congress is working on estate tax solutions and we have a unique opportunity to improve incentives for conservation.
- How Estate Tax Incentives Work
- Help Create New Conservation Incentives
- Bills to Increase the Exclusion for Land Under Easement
- Bills to Defer Estate Taxes on Family Farm, Ranch and Forest Land
- Guidance on Using Existing Estate Tax Incentives (link)
Important note: Just one of the bills below, H.R. 47, has been reintroduced in the 113th Congress. All others are from earlier years; the session for each bill is indicated below.
How Estate Tax Incentives Work
In 1997, Congress passed a law that encourages land conservation by providing an estate tax exclusion under Section 2031(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. This provision provides an estate tax exclusion of up to 40% of the restricted value of land protected by a conservation easement. That exclusion is capped at $500,000 and is further reduced in cases where the easement reduces a property's value by less than 30%.
Problems with Current Law
While this benefit has been enormously helpful for conservation, rising farmland values have made the $500,000 cap increasingly inadequate. Consider that:
- In 1997, the average farm real estate value was $926 per acre; today it is $2,160 (USDA-NASS). This 133% increase in farmland value requires a significant increase in the easement exclusion so farmers can preserve their land and pass it on.
- Approximately 1% of all estates owe estate taxes, but 4% of all farm estates owe estate taxes (USDA, November 2005).
- Larger farms and ranches – those most likely to be affected by the estate tax – are both more likely to be economically sustainable, and more likely to have resources important to the public.
Help Create New Conservation Incentives
Land trusts are currently working with coalition partners and supporters in Congress on a variety of proposals that would exclude land under easement, or agricultural lands in general, from the estate tax.
One such proposal would increase the 2031(c) exclusion to 50% with a cap of $5 million. Another proposal would indefinitely defer all estate taxes for all lands that remain in agriculture or are protected with a conservation easement. We believe these proposals would help keep important natural and historic resources intact, and would be valuable contributions to land conservation.

Bills to Increase the Exclusion for Land Under Easement
These bills would expand the 2031(c) exclusion for land protected by a conservation easement from 40% to 50% and from $500,000 to $5 million, while ensuring quality easements by decreasing the benefits for less protective easements:
- H.R. 3050 (111th Congress, not yet reintroduced) -- American Family Farm and Ranchland Protection Act, introduced by Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Eric Cantor (R-VA), would provide targeted estate tax relief for land under easement at a cost of just $132 million.
- Fact sheet on H.R. 3050 from Piedmont Environmental Council
- Land Trust Alliance Letters to Reps. Blumenauer and Cantor
- S. 1901 (112th Congress, not yet reintroduced) -- American Family Farm and Ranchland Protection Act, introduced by Senators Mark Udall (D-CO) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) would provide targeted estate tax relief for land under easement at a cost of just $132 million.
- Fact Sheet on S. 3640 (last year's bill #)
Bills to Defer Estate Taxes on Family Farm, Ranch and Forest Land
These bills would provide an indefinite deferral of estate taxes on family farm, ranch and forest land, until those lands are taken out of production or sold out of the family:
- H.R. 390 (112th Congress, not yet reintroduced) -- Family Farm Preservation and Conservation Estate Tax Act, introduced by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), combines the estate tax deferral from H.R. 3524 (below) and the easement exclusion from H.R. 3050 (above), while reducing their combined cost from $16.2 billion to just $4.2 billion. Urge your Rep. to co-sponsor by contacting Carla McGarvey in Rep. Thompson's office.
- Press Release on introduction of H.R. 4575 (111th Congress)
- S. 3664 (111th Congress, not yet reintroduced) -- Family Farm Estate Tax Deferral Act, introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) is very similar to H.R. 5475, combining an ag land deferral with the easement exclusion from S. 3640.
- H.R. 47 (Already reintroduced in 113th Congress) -- Farmland Preservation and Land Conservation Act, introduced by Tim Bishop (D-NY) and Richard Hanna (R-NY), provides estate tax deferrals for family farms without an increased exclusion for lands under easement. While we believe the combined approach of S. 390 improves on this kind of stand-alone exclusion bill you may find their supporting materials helpful:
- Info Packet on H.R. 3524 (Similar to H.R. 390)

I don't think your Modern Manhood is quite Premium enough to cope with me.

She looks like she's being punished for laughing at the stupidly small penis he's holding, she doesn't give a shit about it and is just smirking her way through it like a schoolgirl doing a dare, but you can see from his face that he knows he's laughable and it makes him miserable.

No, that is pretty much how I read their facial expressions.
I don't know why this is becoming such a thing.
Doesn't your second link there show it isn't so much becoming a thing as has been one for quite some time?
"The thing" is when "vanilla advertising co-opts imagery from BDSM", but I think that the latter image is from actual porn, not advertising.
No, here's my problem. I really, really don't like it when vanilla advertising co-opts imagery from BDSM.
No - if you're going to do diet Helmut Newton you're probably going to miss everything that made the guy's work interesting in the first place: The total lack of any filter between his sexual obsessions and his work; how genuinely transgressive it was in the 60's & 70's to see that kind of imagery in commercial advertising and fashion editorial. The very specific personal and cultural context he came out of. That he really didn't give a flying fuck if anyone thought he could only be aroused by a shaved cross-dressing fraulein snarling at his crotch.
You're sure giving them an awful lot of credit for something ripped straight from a Mad Men advertiser. Google images "mad men" ashtray girl.

I meant, for example, the coffee one. Which is at least D, though not B or S or M.
TracyMac, in reply to
*high fives*
That's exactly it, Morgan.
And thank you, Emma. Ok, they are riding on the 50 Shades of Shite bandwagon, but yeah, keep it in the porn/erotica world, not the mainstream, where it's just - to resurrect a fun phrase - reinforcing the norms of the patriarchy. No, it's not witty and subversive here.
Oh it's a cigar...

Oh go on. I see superb natural ingredients, big flavor and can-do attitude just like what infused his marriage (so says the prospectus). Makes me want to shoot clay targets and get a three button remote control and buy some stock.
Forgive, I should have got here sooner. I am not well, and my brain is moving very slowly. Bear with.
I meant, for example, the coffee one. Which is at least D, though not B or S or M.
As a side-note, and not directed at Graeme at all, just trying to keep things clear, BDSM is a thingied acronym. Compressed. Something. It stands for Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism & Masochism. When Graeme says "D", I am assuming he means "Discipline" not "Dominance".
So, yeah. I'm by no means suggesting that these images have only just started appearing, just that they seem (which I know is awfully subjective) to be getting more common lately. In response, as Tracy points out, to the popularity of Fifty Shades of Not Having a Fucking Clue.
The coffee image is one I find really difficult to parse. I mean, it's stagy and fake and I think it's supposed to be funny, in the context of its time.
But. OTK spanking is, of course, really common in BDSM. It might be part of Discipline, it might equally be part of S&M. So I should have the same issues with it, right? And yet I struggle to, or to connect it in any way to my own experience, because it's just so... silly.
Tom Beard, in reply to
I meant, for example, the coffee one.
I stand corrected. Though, as Emma says, the "discipline" aspect of that is hard to parse. While kink certainly existed then (1950s? 60s?), I would have thought that in a mainstream context that image would have been read more as an appeal to some men's nostalgia for husbandly control than as a reference to a sexual practice.
Going back to the particular context for the image: throughout the whole prospectus, every feature image of men shows them in control (shooting, making beer, winning medals, looking powerful and corporate in the boardroom); every feature image of women shows them as subservient, decorative, and on one case naked. As a package it has nothing to do with BDSM, and everything to do with reinforcing gendered power structures.
While there's nothing wrong with a bit of consensual boss/secretary fantasy or human furniture play, the ashtray image here is part of a wider narrative which is about a real world of men who make decisions and women without agency, not a sexual scenario negotiated between willing and equal partners. Moa's strategy is to "influence the influencers", and they all but explicitly say that the only "influencers" worth reaching are rich white men. Ladies, the only influence you might have is if you drop your knickers at the sight of a stuffed shirt necking an expensive beer.
..and leotard.
And the beer, its not great.

Was it always that way, or did it evolve? Sort of the opposite of how we moved from Gay and Lesbian to LGBT, LGBTI and google autocomplete suggests, sometimes even LGBTQIA (and I'm sure, others).

I just don't get the socks.
Emma Hart, in reply to

IANAHistorian, but I believe it agglomerated. So in the seventies, you'd see people talking about just B&D, or S&M. One of the great writers in this area, Clarisse Thorn, who's in her twenties, describes herself as an "S&M Feminist". So like the GLITTFAB acronyms, it breaks down into its component parts sometimes as required.

As someone smack in their target demographic I will never drink a Moa beer again though I will confess that the decision is made easier by the fact that their product is frothy bland suds.

Makes 4 servings
This very simple dish is one of my favorite "emergency" dinners that I make when time is especially limited. Use short cuts or strands of other Italian pastas you might have on hand. When time permits, I expand on the simple recipe and add other vegetables, such as strips of grilled portobello mushrooms.
8 ounces elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 plum tomato, cut into ½-inch cubes
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Dash of salt, or to taste
Dash of freshly ground pepper, or to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat; add the macaroni. When the water returns to a boil, stir occasionally to separate the macaroni. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes, or according to package instructions.
When the macaroni is done, drain well; return to the pot. Add the butter; stir until it melts. Add the remaining ingredients and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

"I didn't feel like we had to score," Tannehill said. "I had the mindset we were going to score."
I tried to test "thanking" and "no-thanking" a post, but you were too clever for that Bill and took the button away. I can, however, un-thank my original thanks, but that's not the same thing now is it? My goal was to be duplicitous.
So as part of "ironing things out" with the new thanks system, will we be able to use it again with tapatalk? I personally don't have internet at home and use my phone a lot for viewing the forums and would love to have it back for tapatalk.

Stretch Jacquard Damask 18 Inch Square Pillow
Pillows are not returnable.
Definitely Recommend
I originally wanted to invest in covers because our hand-me-down furniture was getting abused by our use and the two cats with claws. I also wanted to change the look of the room. I got the covers in grey, and I'm very pleased! A little tricky to put on, but with adjustments, I think they look great. I would be lying if I said you can't tell they're covers. Especially on my loveseat, the cover is a little loose in one area because my loveseat is a little shorter in terms of length, so it drapes in one small spot. They will require a few adjustments with use, but that's to be expected (I'm also very particular). It's an excellent, chic, traditional design, nice feel, and looks great in the room. I'd recommend these strongly and would buy them again!

Murder Machines: Why Cars Will Kill 30,000 Americans This Year. A good essay-length look at how social norms regarding streets and safety have changed over the last century, and why our current norms and design guidelines lead very predictably to tends of thousands of preventable deaths each year. Covers a lot of the same territory as Peter D. Norton's excellent book Fighting Traffic, which gives a detailed historical account of the transition, between about 1915 and 1930, from streets being universally accessible public space to being nearly the sole domain of motorized transportation. Ralph Nader effectively spearheaded a campaign for - Managed Lanes in Colorado
Will Toor and Mike Salisbury at the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project have put together a good paper called Managed Lanes in Colorado (it's a PDF) that looks at the policy rationale behind (and a few issues with) creating additional highway capacity in the form of managed lanes with tolling, that also allow high occupancy vehicles and transit to take advantage of the investment, addressing some of the "Lexus Lane" criticism of using tolls in the public right of way (on projects that are still mostly publicly funded). It's not quite as fun to read as my magnum opus from this - America's Cities Are Still Too Afraid to Make Driving Unappealing - Emily Badger - The Atlantic Cities
It's the relative attractiveness of different modes of transportation that shapes our choices, and American cities are still terrified of making driving less attractive. This really puts a cap on what fraction of trips we can get over to biking, walking and mass transit. Partly because driving is such an ingrained cultural norm (even if it's just as easy to drive as to bike, the default behavior amongst most people will be to drive), and partly because accommodating cars well means degrading the walking, biking and transit amenities. In a place like Boulder where people actually have alternatives to driving - Granny flats flourish after fee waiver... in Portland
In 2010 Portland, Oregon made it cheap and easy for people to build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units -- also known as "granny flats", "in-law apartments", "carriage houses", etc -- small secondary dwellings that are on an existing property), and to nobody's surprise, the tiny homes boomed. This kind of housing adds density without changing neighborhood character, lets people live lighter on the land, and helps makes housing affordable both for the renters, and the homeowners who now have a rental income that was impossible before. And they do it all without any public subsidy. Boulder can do this too. - Hamburg's Car Free Greenway Network
There have been a bunch of links floating around recently about the German city of Hamburg's plans to "go car free" in the next 15-20 years. For example this BBC Future article which references this post on Inhabitat, which then points to Arch Daily which finally links directly to the actual city planning site from Hamburg (auf deutsch of course). Unfortunately, these seem to be just click-bait headlines. As far as I can tell (and I don't read German) the real point of the plan is to create an extensive, connected network of bike and pedestrian greenways that provide easy access

On my own time, I build small apps to help get things done a little better, and have a couple posted at Codeplex:
- SQL Space Map - if you have some large SQL Server databases and you'd like a visual picture of which tables and indexes are taking up that space, it's the tool for you.
- SQL Server Contention Monitor - watches as may SQL Servers as you want and alerts you to blocked SPIDs, showing you the block tree (which process is blocking which, an what others are affected). It's still in a pretty alpha-ish phase, but it despite some instability at times, it gets the job done.

Not 6.5 plus the stuff in the "what's new in 7" plus "a surprise package of undocumented losses" complete with bug city down to font sizes ...
Steinberg, please, get your stuff right this time with 7.1, fix what users desperately need to see fixed and you can count me in for a paid 7.5 a week later or a year later, doesn't matter.
just my 5 ct,
Oh, and as a bonus for all the waiting - can we get back visible muted notes in the drum editor, please ?

What, and go back to the hobbled looks-like-dumb-hardware inflexible rock of past versions?
Yes, they could make it simpler to configure, but I would only want more flexibility, especially in regards to touch-friendliness.

It is in a mess because the 'flexibility' has been designed inelegantly, but the shift to include more varied capability is long overdue.

The Pi already runs single programs decently without any sort of hardware acceleration. With improvements like these, I wonder how much more viable the Pi would be as a casual multitasking computer?
Phoronix: Raspberry Pi Gets New Wayland Weston Renderer
After working on the Raspberry Pi support for Wayland/Weston, Pekka Paalanen has announced a new "rpi-renderer" for the low-cost ARM development board...
The Pi already runs single programs decently without any sort of hardware acceleration. With improvements like these, I wonder how much more viable the Pi would be as a casual multitasking computer?
The Pi in general isn't that great of a value anymore. The stupid thing is mostly all you're paying for is parts and manufacturing, considering it's a non-profit project. I feel like the RPi devs would get more success if they charged another $5 or so for a significantly more powerful CPU and more memory. For non-developer purposes, there are better systems for a similar price.
The Pi's hardware is outdated, yeah. On the other hand, official support by the foundation and community support is so much better than with any other ARM board. This is often more worth than raw hardware power.
I think it's important to remember the intended audience, it's intention is to be an educational device; one that schools can use to teach pupils the basics of programming in Scratch and Python, it was never intended as a general purpose device for ordinary people. Whilst they're happy for that to happen, they won't compromise anything on the educational front in order to make it more appealing as a general-purpose device.
Pretty much everything about the hardware was focused on getting the costs down, that's why there are 2 USB ports instead of 3, for instance. If they start changing the hardware too much they would need to redesign the board, which wouldn't necessarily be trivial, and they would also need to support a fragmented community, where some programs can only be run on the (theoretical) model C that has a 1.2GHz processor.
edit: don't get me wrong though, I've love a Pi that had higher specs!
These guys are relentless.
They've been after the Xenomorphs ever since Alienware got bought out by Dell.


text: I think their efforts should concentrate on catching up with the Mali T600 architecture as soon as possible, and forget about Mali 200/400. Mali T600 is what we'll keep seeing not only running under Android devices, but also under Linux machines, so it's much more important to get an open source driver for it. Plus, the other architecture is a dead-end while T600 is just starting and have a life cycle of 5+ years.

Bossypantsby Tina Fey
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy. (Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!) Review:"Fey's caustic wit and wry delivery made it clear she wasn't another airhead comedienne willing to play dumb for laughs. If the world needed reminding that smart girls can be funny and sexy, Tina Fey proved it." Playboy
Review:"Goddess of the geeks." Time
Synopsis:From her lifetime pursuit of the perfect Beauty Routine to the oversold joys of breastfeeding, from her whirlwind tour of duty as the Other Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live to her early days in the comedy trenches — Tina Fey puts her unique and endlessly funny mark on modern life, work, marriage, and motherhood.
Synopsis:From her humble roots in the Bronx to Laverne and Shirley and her unlikely ascent in Hollywood, the beloved actor and director tells the story of her incredible life.
Synopsis:At the age of twenty-six, Penny Marshall was a divorced mother of one living in the Bronx. One year later she starred in a Head & Shoulders commercial (she was the one with the dandruff) with Farah Fawcett. So began the unlikely career of one of Hollywoods most accomplished directors. My Mother Was Nuts tells the story of Marshalls incredible life, from her starring role on the classic sitcom Laverne and Shirley to her trailblazing moment as the first woman to direct a movie grossing more than $100 million at the box office. The book is a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood life, exploring her friendships with John Belushi, Lorne Michaels, Art Garfunkel, and Carrie Fisher, her marriage and eventual divorce from Rob Reiner, and her experiences working with Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, Geena Davis, Denzel Washington, and Drew Barrymore. This is a book about Hollywood, womanhood, and the power of Spanx. VideoAbout the AuthorTina Fey lives in Manhattan, where she is the third funniest person in her household, after her husband and five-year-old daughter.

Antler Saturn Hardside 4 Wheel C1 Cabin Case - 55cm Burgundy
Hard sided luggage from Antler. Antler Saturn Hardside 4 Wheel C1 Cabin Case - 55cm Burgundy...
Welcome to the 'new look' Luggage Superstore website. Here we have a huge selection of budget to premium range luggage brands for all your travelling needs, from lightweight cabin luggage and expandable cases to chic holdalls and leather business bags. Above all we have an enviable reputation for the very best customer service!
The importance of the right suitcase in this day and age, regardless of purpose, cannot be underestimated. Gone are the days when size was the only variation of the theme – today, we are privileged to have access to thousands of designs by some of the best brands on the market, all available here at Luggage Superstore for unbeatable prices.
The suitcase is no longer a clunky accessory, but a modern necessity. There are shapes, sizes and styles that mean every person can find the perfect product for their purpose, one that not only ticks all the boxes when it comes to functionality but one that acts as an extension of your own individual style.
Here at Luggage Superstore, we are a firm believer that there is a suitcase for everyone and we feel that is reflected through our diverse range of brands that we have in stock. From luggage heavyweights Samsonite to high-street mainstays such as Timberland and Ted Baker, high-end manufacturers Bric to the ever-flexible Members, there's undoubtedly a niche suited to customers of all ages.
For example, if you're a commuter the last thing you want is a bag that is too big, one that will make your already arduous journeys even more stressful. We've all been in a situation where we've had too big a suitcase for the train or bus and caused inconvenience to those around us by doing so, but fortunately that needn't be the case any longer. At Luggage Superstore we have a huge number of smaller suitcases, holdalls and travel bags to ensure getting from A to B is as easy as possibly, leaving you to concentrate on the more important aspects of your journey.
The advent of budget airlines and their unbelievable fares around Europe and indeed the wider world have also lead there to be a huge surge in demands for suitcases big enough to fit vital possessions in but small enough to meet the hand luggage requirements set by the flight companies. Whereas twenty years ago there may have been a dearth of suitable styles, we are now living in an age where that vacuum has been well and truly filled. The abundance of sleek yet sturdy small suitcases that we have in stock is a testament to that – after one look through our ranges, you'll soon realise your baggage dilemmas will be at an end.
That isn't to say the traditional, larger suitcase model has been neglected by retailers and manufacturers – in fact, it's quite the opposite. As we've mentioned, size is no longer the deciding factor when it comes to suitcases and that is even the case with our larger ranges. Customers nowadays demand that suitcases are made with durable materials that will provide suitable protection to the belongings placed inside. The work of even the roughest baggage handler should barely leave a mark on the modern case, and for that reason we ensure all our suitcases are from brands we know we can trust.
For more information on any of the products we may have on offer, or simply for some informative and impartial advice to assist you with your purchase, our experienced team are available to give you a helping hand. If you have any questions, queries or general feedback, make sure you head over to the contact us page and get in touch with us here at Luggage Superstore today.

(AP) - North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan says she backs marriage rights for same-sex couples, joining a growing number of Democratic Party politicians. She faces re-election next year.
Hagan made the announcement Wednesday. She had opposed a North Carolina constitutional amendment against gay marriage that passed last May. She said it could make it more difficult for companies to recruit talent.
President Barack Obama announced his support for gay marriage the day after 61 percent of North Carolina voters backed the gay-marriage amendment.
Hagan's position puts her in step with fellow Democrats. U.S. Sens. Jon Tester of Montana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Mark Warner of Virginia, this week declared support for gay marriage. Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio took that step last week.

What is Phonological Awareness?
Phonological awareness is the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words. This understanding will help your child break the code between written language and spoken language when he learns how to read.
Rhyming and breaking down words into syllables are examples of this important early literacy skill.
Playing rhyming games is a fun way to encourage phonological awareness. Even if the rhymes are silly and don't make sense, your child is learning to break down words into smaller parts (syllables). Identify words that rhyme with each other - start with "bat" and take turns thinking of others: mat, cat, that, hat, etc. Singing songs and reading books that rhyme help, too. You can point out the rhyming words as you go.
