Recession of windows splits council's vote
It came down to a question of recession.
When determining whether a proposed seven-story apartment building at 5th Avenue and 2nd Street Southeast should be allowed to skew from historical guidelines, it was the windows that left the City Council divided. Should the building's look emulate much of the district, with windows pushed in 3 inches, or could it be sleeker and more modern with no window recession?
Developer Jack Boarman and the BKV Group were seeking the latter, but Council Member Gary Schiff (9th Ward), chairman of the council's Zoning and Planning Committee, strongly preferred the former. To Schiff, allowing a development in that area to have a flat look would be anything but a minor action, setting a distinct precedent for future construction. Its neighbors, including still-unbuilt projects such as the approved Pillsbury A Mill development, have recessed windows.
Boarman's trip to the City Council started with an application to the Heritage Preservation Commission, which evaluates projects on their historical appropriateness, to receive permission to demolish the Union Railway Storage Company building currently located at the site. To get the commission's certificate of appropriateness, the developer had to show that the new building would still be compatible within the area in which it would stand, the St. Anthony Falls Historic District. And that's where the windows came into play: The commission made it a condition that, to allow demolition, the windows would have to be recessed.
Boarman wanted a second opinion from the City Council. That's where he ran into council members such as Schiff and Diane Hofstede, whose 3rd Ward would contain the apartment building.
"I don't think there's anything special about this project, and I don't think there's anything special about this developer that they should be allowed solely to be excused from the Heritage Preservation Committee guidelines," Schiff said.
But others on the council disagreed. Council Member Lisa Goodman (7th Ward) noted that the proposed building's lower levels would fit the district because of a brick look. Recessed windows, she added, also have proven to sometimes have problems with leaks.
"It's not like we've kept it completely consistent, that it must be this way every time for every developer," Goodman said about past development approvals in the district. "We've kind of picked and [chosen] along the way."
Ultimately, the flat side won. Council members voted 6-5 to strike down the recession condition, not to the liking of Hofstede.
"Flat buildings," she said, "they just look so flat."
Police budget checks in with good news
If a report in May projecting the end of December is any indication, the Minneapolis Police Department could find 2010 to be a solid budget year.
Checking in with the City Council's Ways and Means Committee, Deputy Chief Scott Gerlicher said the department currently looks like it could underspend its budget by $1.26 million. That's a reverse from recent years; in 2009, the department overspent by $3 million.
There are a number of drivers at play this year, Gerlicher said, but two key factors have been overtime — which has seen a 20 percent drop — and vehicle idling, which is down as much as 30 percent.
The police department is expected to have its budget be $8.6 million lighter by the end of 2011. It's already $7.3 million down that road, Gerlicher said.
Health Committee has resolution brushed up
The City Council unanimously adopted a number of small changes to the resolution that sets forth the responsibilities and composition of the Public Health Advisory Committee.
Among the changes, the 22-member board was shaved down to 20 members. Technically, there was always a 20-plus-two make-up of the board, Health Commissioner Gretchen Musicant said, with "the two" being members of the Urban Health Professional Committee who also served on the health advisory committee. Because of regular continuity issues with those two spots, Musicant said, the new language should better represent their presence.
Also added was language that allows the mayor to appoint a committee member who lives outside of the city, as long as he or she works in Minneapolis.

Quote: The substance of this book is my PhD thesis defended in July 2006 in Oxford at Oxford Centre for Mission Studies. The idea of this research took shape during many years of interaction with the poetic literature of the Semites in general and the Hebrew Psalms in particular, in the context of translation work prompted by the involvement in a new project of providing a fresh translation of the Bible into Romanian by International Bible Society.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The Huntley Hotel
1111 Second Street, Santa Monica, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Santa Monica
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In years past this glorious location, a block from Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade and two blocks from the beach, was wasted on one of those boring old corporate hotels — or, truth be told, the location very nearly elevated a chain hotel into something special. Now, in a new life as the Huntley, it's aiming a bit higher — Santa Monica lacks a truly definitive hipster boutique hotel, and that's the void the Huntley is trying to fill.
With no little success, we might add. The Penthouse restaurant and bar are pretty reliably packed, not just for the food but for the atmosphere as well — the look is upscale retro-lounge, and private cabanas (sans pool) lend restaurant and bar tables a private-party vibe. It's the work of the local designer Thomas Shoos, the man behind several of Santa Monica's better restaurants, and the hotel's other public spaces (and, to some extent, the rooms) bear his mark as well.
These days, of course, a popular nightspot alone does not make a successful hotel. Fortunately the Huntley's rooms are anything but an afterthought. Though compact, they're comfortable and well-equipped, with the luxuries that matter: pillow-top beds, fine Italian linens, 42-inch plasma screens, and top-shelf bath products. Views of the city are none too shabby, and those of the beach and coastline are even better — book the Shoos-designed suites to make the most of the views, the space, and the extras (open soaking tubs, we're looking at you).

FULLERTON – With the teams combing for 117 shots, the contest between Big West and county rivals UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton on Thursday at Titan Gym was the epitome of an up-tempo college basketball game.
The Titans, down by 15 late in the first half, got it down to single digits by halftime and then broke open a close game in the final minutes to come away with a 100-94 victory.
"It was obviously a game they (the Anteaters) could have won," Fullerton coach Bob Burton said.
"I'm just happy our guys didn't fold up."
For now, Fullerton (16-7, 8-3) is alone in second place, pending the outcome of UC Santa Barbara's game against UC Riverside on Saturday.
Irvine (9-15, 5-6), meanwhile, is among five teams jockeying for fourth place.
"The old reliables," as Burton refers guard DJ Sealy and Kwame Vaughn, led all scorers with 27 and 24 points, respectively.
Sealy was also 4 for 4 on 3-point shots and is on the verge of setting a school record in 3-point shooting percentage.
Burton also praised the performance Sedric Martin, who came off the bench to score 14 points in just 23 minutes of playing time.
"I got to give them credit," Irvine coach Russell Turner said of the Titans. "They are a hard team to guard."
The Anteaters, led by Damon Starring (22) and Will Davis (20), led, 47-32, with just under two minutes left in the first half.
But the Titans closed out the final 1:50 on an 8-0 run to stay in the game.
"I think the key part of the game was the way we finished the first half," Turner said.
"They didn't keep the intensity up in the final few minutes."
An 11-7 run in the first five minutes of the second got the Titans to five back.

The Obama campaign certainly isn't leaving any stone unturned in Missouri with their community outreach. One of the largest communities out in St. Louis, is the deaf community, and I should know since I'm deaf. I was really excited when I read this article in the Fulton Sun about how the Obama campaign is reaching out to the deaf community through their volunteers by phonebanking.
Yes, you read that right. Phonebanking the deaf community--one may ask, how can that be done?
In the article, it can be done by reaching out by TTY, which is a special machine that allows you to connect to a deaf person by direct relay. The relay system by TTY, however, is becoming antiquated with the advent of video relay systems and internet relay, which is what I use since I'm oral and can't sign very well.
This is really big news for the deaf community in Missouri. There are over 200,000 people with a hearing impairment there, and they're usually never contacted by presidential campaigns. It's also interesting this is being done in the suburban areas near St. Louis. The Obama campaign must be trying to keep John McCain from running up the votes in the counties outside of the urban areas.
This sort of strategy in reaching out to the deaf community could easily swing over 70,000 votes. I'm proud that the Obama campaign is doing this, and it really matters to us in the deaf community.

activating a program in said control head through said electronic impulse;
activating one or more pumps through said program; and
delivering a detergent and other laundry treating chemicals from their supply containers to the wash chamber of the washing device by the action of the activated pump.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is directed at a system which senses the washing cycle steps of an automatic laundry washing machine and signals the controlled flow of one or more cleaning chemicals into the machine washing chamber.
2. The Prior Art
Most commercial laundry washing machines have a liquid chemical feed dispenser which injects fabric treating chemicals into the washer. Among such chemicals are alkali, detergent, bleach, souring agent and fabric softener. More than 90% of these dispensers are interfaced electrically with the internal controller of the washing machine.
There are two types of controls used in washing machines: one is called a non-programmable, and the other a programmable type. The non-programmable control has fixed wash formulas, set up by the machine manufacturer, which cannot be altered. Switching contacts ride on cams encased in the programmer that operates the various functions of the washer.
Programmable models are run by a chart or card which the installer of the chemical dispenser cuts to create a wash formula. Each cut in the chart or card causes a microswitch to open or close creating operation of a function of a wash formula.
A electrical signal from inside the washing machine internal controls, i.e. the program, is normally required to activate injection of a cleaning chemical. On most older washers and even some of the newer ones, locating and tying into these control circuits is not always easy. Also, once an installer has gone into the controls, there is a great risk that those internal controls are damaged or otherwise adversely affected.
Where an installer is not a representative of the washing machine manufacturer, there is also the further problem of voiding factory warranties. Manufacturers do not want unauthorized technicians tampering with the internal controls of their machine.
There have been a number of patents issued focusing upon the problem of delivering cleaning chemicals to the washer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,335,591 (Gillespie) reports use of separate sequence controllers connected to a line of multiple washers. Each of the controllers intercommunicates with every other one and operates a series of electromagnetic valves to deliver detergent and bleach based upon electronic energizing signals.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,982,666 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,881,328, both to Kleimola et al., disclose a detergent dispensing system for sequentially and automatically injecting detergents, fabric conditioners and other cleaning chemicals into a laundry washing machine. A signaling device synchronized with the washing machine cycle selectively actuates and deactuates solenoid-operated valves positioned upstream of Venturi-Aspirators assigned to each chemical line. Predetermined quantities of each liquid chemical can thereby be delivered at any desired point in the machine cycle.
Another automated laundry system is reported in U.S. Pat. No. 4,103,520 (Jarvis et al.). Here an injector having a plurality of liquid additive reservoirs and associated timed control valves selectively can inject liquid additives into the washer. An adaptor connected to both the washer and injector controls sequencing throughout the operating cycle of the washer. This adaptor establishes sequential program signals to the injector where the washer does not have a built-in programer.
Automatic dishwashing machines as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,834,364 (Federighi et al ) have also been fitted with sensors to activate addition of cleaning chemicals. The patent describes a hot water feed pipe to which is connected a pressure switch When there is a drop in water pressure, the switch causes an electric valve to open which allows a quantity of liquid soap or detergent to flow into the washing tank.
Common to the aforementioned art is the requirement for invading the machine housing to connect into the programer controlling the dispenser system. Thus, there arises the problem of installation difficulty, equipment compatibility and, ultimately, voiding of machine warranties.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for dispensing laundry treating chemicals to an automatic washing machine without requiring the dispenser installer to invade the machine housing.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for dispensing laundry treating chemicals into ar automatic washing machine that is very simple to install and operate.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for delivering detergent, fabric softener, alkali, bleach and/or souring agent to an automatic washing machine for the laundering of fabrics.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for dispensing laundry treating chemicals into ar automatic washing machine which does not result in voiding machine manufacturer warranties.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for the delivery of laundry treating chemicals tc an automatic washing machine which is not limited by a washing sequence formula pre-programmed into the machine itself.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for dispensing laundry treating chemicals into an automatic washing machine that operates to accomplish the objects as aforedescribed.
An apparatus for washing fabrics is provided including:
a washing device having:
a housing;
a wash chamber in said housing;
a hot and a cold water inlet conduit in said housing communicating with said chamber;
at least one laundry treating chemical inlet conduit in said housing communicating with said chamber; and
optionally, a wash program selector in said housing;
a hot water line outside said housing connecting a source of hot water to said hot water inlet conduit;
a cold water line outside said housing connecting a source of cold water to said cold water inlet conduit;
at least two sensing means for sensing a flow of water and converting a flow signal therefrom into an electronic impulse, a first of said means connected to and sensing a flow in said hot water line and a second of said means connected to and sensing a flow in said cold water line;
a plurality of pumps;
a control head receiving and storing said electronic impulses and comprising a program to selectively activate said plurality of pumps;
a plurality of laundry treating chemical supply, containers, one of said containers holding a detergent;
at least one conduit connecting said supply containers to said at least one laundry treating chemical inlet conduit, said pumps activating transfer of detergent through said connecting conduit; and
optionally, a means for communicating between said wash program selector and said control head.
Various features and advantages of the present invention will more readily be apparent through the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of the overall machine and dispenser system;
FIG. 2 is a broad schematic view of the electrical and fluid connections interconnecting the machine and dispenser system; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the system with a more detailed illustration of the electrical wiring, switches and logic circuits.
By reference to FIG. 1, the system is seen to include a washing machine (1) with wash chamber (2), hot and cold water (4,5) lines leading into the washer, water flow sensors (6,7) in each of the water lines, a control head (8), a series of pumps (9) and a series of laundry treating chemical supply containers (10). Each of these features will now be discussed in more detail.
Focus of this invention is to allow a chemical supplier representative to install the chemical dispensers (10) and their external control head (8) without connecting to electrical wiring of control timers inside the washing machine housing (11). Therefore, a critical aspect of the invention is placement of a water flow sensor (6, 7) within the water lines (4,5) leading into the washing machine housing. These sensors will be activated by the flow of water to set-off a mechanical or electrical switch, which in turn will send an electronic impulse tc the control head (8). Whenever there is any flow of water, the sensor will continuously emit the electronic impulse over the &time period of flow. Once the water flow has ceased the emitted electronic impulse will also cease.
A typical laundry wash sequence will include cycles where either hot or cold water will be required exclusively. For instance, the main wash step using detergent will normally involve a hot or warm water fill. On the other hand, a subsequent rinse cycle will normally exclusively utilize cold water. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor both the hot and the cold water lines separately to determine the stage of the washing sequence. It should be noted that not every water flow induced electronic impulse results in the triggering of a chemical delivery. Cycles such as certain of the rinses do not include injected chemicals. However, the electronic impulse must be registered by the control head to keep count and accurately track the washing sequence.
Flow sensors may be placed either directly in the water line or adjacent thereto. For instance, a butterfly rotating valve may be used within the water line. Alternatively, a non-invasive sensor may consist of a photo cell positioned around the outside of a transparent segment of the water delivering conduit. There may also be a combination of mechanical valve within the water line signaling a magnetic pick-up device surrounding the outside of the water conduit.
Within the context of the present invention, the term "hot" water refers to a temperature in the range of from about 100� F. to about 180� F., most preferably from about 120� F. to 140� F. Likewise, the term "cold" water encompasses a temperature range from about 40� F. to about 80� F., preferably between about 50� F. and 70� F.
Another highly important component of the present system is a control head (8). Within the control head is a stepping switch (22), dip switches (32), a reversing relay (50), pump relay (40), and programming relays (60).
Stepping switch (22) comprises a series of terminals (24) (shown in FIG. 3 as being 10 in number). Switch member (25) is movable from one terminal to the next in a semi-circular fashion step-wise, each step being actuated by a change in electronic impulse.
From the stepping switch terminal, the electronic impulse is transferred to one of a group of dip switches (32) which may either be in the "on" or "off" position dependent upon the particular wash program desired. Where a dip switch (32) is in the "on" position, the signal will pass to delivery instructing programming relays (60). A further series of electrical connections transmit signals from the relays (60) to activate the respective pumps (9) which then deliver cleaning chemicals into the wash chamber (2) of machine (1).
Some washing machines are user programmable. The programs are set by a chart or card upon which a formula sequence is cut. Each cut in the card or chart causes a microswitch to open or close creating occurrence of a certain function in the wash sequence. These programs operated by a program selector (3) can be interfaced through an electrical connection (12) with the chemical formula relays (60) of control head (8).
Operation of the system is best explained as follows. The washing machine will operate in the same manner as is normally done, whether the machine is user programmable or non-programmable. When the washer is started for a particular wash formula, an operator will activate a switch on formula box (3) that corresponds to the classification of wash being done. This box is normally located outside of and normally on the front of a machine. When the switch on the formula selector (3) is "on", contacts of the relays (60) corresponding to the program formula will close.
When water enters the machine (hot, cold or both), contacts of one or both the water flow sensors (6,7) will send an electronic impulse to stepping switch coil (22) of the control head (8). Stepping switch (22) through its switch member (25) will contact terminals (24) in sequence. Thereby will be electrically energized a wire leading from the terminal to a respective dip switch (32). Those dip switches in the "on" position will then further send a signal to the programming relays (60) which trigger pumps that dispense the appropriate cleaning chemical from supply containers (10). This sequence will be repeated every time water enters to fill the washer. Each time the stepping switch coil receives a new electronic impulse, the next terminal, running from (1) to (10), will energize.
An installer of the dispenser system will set the on/off functions of dip switches (32) to correspond t the formulas being used by the formula box. The "on" positions of the dip switch will allow voltage to pass through that switch to the common C terminal of the relay. This then allows the electronic impulse to go from the normally open (N.O.) contact of the relay, which is now in the closed position, that was closed when the formula switch on the formula box was turned on. The electronic impulse will then go from the normally open (N.O.) contact of the relay to the central pumping unit (40). Thereupon, the proper chemical feed pump will activate to inject a chemical into the washer.
When the last step of a wash formula is started, the feed pump for the last chemical will cause the stepping switch member (25) to return to the zero terminal position.
To start another wash formula, a transformer (44) is energized when the last pump turns on. Reset contacts in the stepping switch are closed, and the coil (42) of a reversing relay (50) are energized. Relay (50) will then switch back and forth from N.O. to N.C. moving the switch member (25) of the stepping switch (22) back to the zero position.
An external power source, not from the washing machine (1), should be used so the dispenser system can be powered from a standard outlet.
Advantageously, the control head should be able to program up to six formulas. A formula would be composed of a series of steps in an amount corresponding to a fill cycle of the wash chamber (2) with water. Typical formulas are illustrated below.
TABLE I______________________________________FormulasLight Cleaning Medium Cleaning Heavy CleaningFormula Formula Formula______________________________________Detergent/Bleach Water Flush Water FlushRinse Detergent Water FlushRinse Bleach AlkaliSoftener Rinse Detergent Rinse Rinse Softener Rinse Softener/Sour______________________________________
Any number of typical laundry treating chemicals may be employed with the present system. Invariably, the wash cycle will include feeding of a detergent to the wash solution in the laundry filled wash chamber. Examples of useful detergents are anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants. Among the most useful anionic surfactants are soap, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl ether sulfates and alkyl sulfates. Useful nonionic surfactants include alkoxylated derivatives of fatty acids and fatty alcohols.
Normally, the last chemical to be added to a wash sequence is that of a fabric softener which normally is a quaternary ammonium compound. Typical of this class ar ditallow dimethyl ammonium methosulfate or chloride salts.
Other performance chemicals may be added and these can include alkali such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Bleach may also be included in one or more of the cycles. Normally, the bleach will be sodium hypochlorite but peroxygen bleaches may also be utilized when necessary. Souring agents, fluorescent brighteners, anti-redeposition agents, perfumes, enzymes and other fabric treating chemicals may be injected into the wash liquor. All of the aforementioned chemicals can either be delivered separately in separate cycles or can be delivered separately within a single cycle. Alternatively, several of the aforementioned chemicals can be combined within a single liquid product to be dispensed from a single supply container.
It is to be understood that the invention in its broader aspect is not limited to the specific elements shown and described above. Rather, the invention includes within the scope of the accompanying claims any departures made from such elements which do not sacrifice its chief advantages.

The event was housed at the Mountain Arts Center and featured an intense and often entertaining presentation by Scott Walker, who is a certified counselor who treats the disease and works for Mountain Comprehensive Care in Prestonsburg.The meeting was sponsored by the Kentucky Council on Compulsive Gambling and was part of the group's week-long program focusing on gambling as being an addiction that is drawing a surprisingly high number of women.There were plenty of handouts available spotlighting the various issues related to compulsive gambling, as well as resources for treating the disease that covered the gamut from anonymous meetings to services for families that must struggle with a compulsive gambler in the household.The highlight of the program was the seminars that were run by Walker. He was an engaging speakers who used a blend of important facts, great storytelling and intense passion to highlight key issues related to gambling addictions.Walker highlighted the warning signs of compulsive gambling, which include: Constantly dealing with bill collectors A partner who stays away from home often Gambling in order to solve financial problems Consistently promising to stop gambling but never delivering on that promise.Michael R. Stone, executive director of the council, was present for the forum and thanked local groups for supporting the program. He noted that in attendance were representatives from the University of Kentucky Woman's Institute, Mountain Comprehensive Care counselors and criminal justice professionals.Stone had praise for the drug court program which is being spearheaded by Judge Eric Hall for residents of Floyd County who want to stop doing drugs and need the help of the courts to combat their addiction. Stone mentioned that drug court had sent representatives to the meeting and said, "What we need here is a gambling court. A pilot program was started by a judge in Amherst New York."The purpose of a gambling court would be to prevent crime by chronic gamblers by helping to remove the addiction.

- United Kingdom
The best asset of Plaza Hotel is the very attentive and professional staff. The location in Hamra, a very bustling area is also very convenient, with many shops and restaurants/cafes around catering for tourists, students of the nearby American Univesity of Beirut, and artists. The minus points were the lack of a business centre and the noise of the surrounding area. The relationship between price, quality and location is very good.

Rugged RacesRead MoreRugged Maniac 5K Obstacle Race sends runners into an obstacle-filled odyssey of muddy endurance. The 5-kilometer course features more than epic 25 obstacles, with participants scaling towers of stacked shipping containers, crawling through underground tunnels, and leaping over fire. After the race, live music and cold beer invite triumphant runners to unwind. Those with excess energy can head over to even more kinetic activities such as mechanical bull riding, beach volleyball, and adult-sized bounce houses.23730 Frederick Rd.Clarksburg, MD US
Little Bennett Golf CourseRead MoreThe sun has just broken over the lush trees guarding Falls Road's sloping hills, and Mike Kenny has already revolutionized his student's short game. It's PGA professionals like Mike who dedicate their time and energy to teaching novice golfers how to drive and experienced golfers how to better chew wood like a beaver. They instruct their students at one of Montgomery County Golf's nine courses, offering classes for beginners, plus specialty clinics for adults and camps for juniors. Each teacher at every course champions his or her individual method of instruction. Mick, for example, uses a step-by-step process to thoroughly improve putting, chipping, pitching, and eliminating wasted strokes.25900 Prescott RoadClarksburg, MD US
Z BounceRead MoreEach of Z Bounce's three locations features an indoor playground full of kinetic activities for kids. Though stationed inside shopping malls, Z Bounce makes the world of department stores, food courts, and price tags disappear the second you pass through its broad glass doors. Here, you're greeted by a colorful labyrinth where kids can play in a safe and monitored environment. Inflatable bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses, and tunnels ignite imaginations and encourage kids to expel the energy they'd otherwise release at the dinner table or during family meditation.2002 Annapolis Mall, Ste 1809Clarksburg, MD US
Columbia Association / Columbia Ice RinkRead MoreAt the Columbia Association, visitors find not only a place to work out, swim, or enjoy the great outdoors, but a place to connect with the local community and get to know their neighbors.

Taiwan debates barring holders of new China passports
Published on Dec 13, 2012 1:42 PM
TAIPEI (AFP) - Taiwan will discuss whether to deny entry to holders of new Chinese passports with maps showing two of the island's most famous spots as part of Chinese territory, a top official said on Thursday.
Wang Yu-chi, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council which is the top China policy-making body, told parliament that relevant government units will review the matter within a week.
Opposition lawmakers have demanded the government bar Chinese visitors who use the new computer-chipped passports bearing a map that covers Sun Moon Lake and Cingshui Cliff, both popular tourist destinations in Taiwan.
Taiwan has protested the controversial new passports, with President Ma Ying-jeou calling on China not to "unilaterally damage the status quo of the hard-fought stability" between the two sides.

Firefox Finally Coming To iPhone & iPad
The months of declining Firefox market share might soon come to an end or at least a slow down, as according to Mozilla's Release Manager, Lukas Blakk, has announced that after years of refusal, the open source organization is finally bringing Firefox to iOS.
He wrote, "We need to be where our users are so we're going to get Firefox on iOS #mozlandia"
Why the sudden change? While we may never know all the possible reasons, one of the key elements could be a shift in Apple's strategy itself, where the tech giant (since the WWDC 2014) announced the availability of WKWebView for all the developers:

Mozilla Does Not Like Android & IOS
BlackBerry and Windows Phone get no "love" at all.
Following the 10th birthday and search deal negotiations with Google, Mozilla is using the momentum to blast Google and Apple mobile operating systems for their lack of openness.
According to Mozilla's chief technology officer, Andreas Gal, both dominant OS'es lack transparency as users are not informed on what happens with their data.

iOS 8: Better Facebook, Twitter App Performance Coming
Improved WebKit engine soon to be available on all apps.
When Apple revealed iOS7, it featured an improved Nitro JavaScript engine, providing with a great boost in performance for various 1st party apps. How so? Well, as it turned out, due to various restrictions, developers were left with a slower version instead.
Now, it looks like Apple has finally reversed this decision and is allowing third parties to access this very engine. What does that mean? All apps will now be able to use the improved engine, offering a boost in performance for apps like Facebook, Twitter and more.

Apple's iCloud Now Supports Chrome & Firefox Bookmarks
Windows users rejoice.
If you've been using Apple's iCloud service on Windows but found a lack of Firefox and Chrome bookmarks support disappointing then good news because this is exactly what the recent update includes.
Yes, you can finally sync all major browser bookmarks (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome) on your PC's.
Man Uses Safari To Watch Porn, Sues Apple Afterwards
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
The situation itself is so moronic that I am not sure where to begin with. Basically, some guy watched porn using Safari web browser and now is suing Apple because it lead to an unfair competition between his wife and pornstars, resulting in damaged marriage.
That's pretty much it, if you are curious enough to read an official statement (he argues that Apple should have a "safe mode" on by default), check the following page.
Apple Reveals Safari 7
Shows how far behind Apple really is.
Recently, Apple has revealed the seventh version of its Safari web browser, that (like Internet Explorer) gets rarely updated, so it should be a pretty big deal, at least for them.
What kind of crazy features did they add this time? Unfortunately, most of these are just catching up with competition, for example:

Mozilla: No Firefox For iOS
Shatters your dreams.
If you've been hoping to see Firefox on iPhone or iPad then we have some bad news for you, according to Mozilla, the open source organization currently has no plans to create a Firefox version for iOS, at least until Apple changes its policy.
Currently, iOS developers are forced to use Apple's UIWebView component and they have no access to a far superior, Nitro rendering engine, therefore, Mozilla sees no point to release a peace of software that is limited in an artificial way..

Mozilla Blames Microsoft, Says They Block Other Browsers
Forgets about the iPad.
Here is some drama for a Thursday night. In the tablet market where Apple pretty much dominates it with a healthy 90% market share mark (in terms of shipments), Mozilla decided to complain about no other than Microsoft, which, according to them, will not allow other browsers than IE to run in the Windows Classic mode on an ARM based, Windows RT OS.

Brief but strong storm sweeps through NYC; 1 dead
NEW YORK A fast-moving storm packing winds of up to 100 mph ripped through the city Thursday, knocking down trees and power lines, snarling traffic, tearing off roofs and leaving one person dead.
The person was killed when a tree fell on a car in Queens, fire officials said. Numerous minor injuries were reported elsewhere.
The storm created havoc with the evening commute. Amtrak trains were running with delays. The Long Island Rail Road said service was temporarily suspended between Penn Station and Jamaica because of fallen trees. Service east of Jamaica was extremely limited. New Jersey Transit reported delays of 20 to 30 minutes during rush hour but normal service was restored around 7:45 p.m.
At least 30,000 customers were without power Thursday night, according to Alfonso Quiroz, a spokesman for Consolidated Edison. He said hardest hit was Queens, with 27,000 outages.
The storm hit just after 5 p.m., when the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Staten Island. Shortly afterward, warnings were issued for Brooklyn and Queens.
"A huge tree limb, like 25 feet long, flew right up the street, up the hill and stopped in the middle of the air 50 feet up in this intersection and started spinning," said Steve Carlisle, 54. "It was like a poltergeist."
"Then all the garbage cans went up in the air and this spinning tree hits one of them like it was a bat on a ball. The can was launched way, way over there," he said, pointing at a building about 120 feet away where a metal garbage can lay flattened.
Fire officials were inspecting at least five brownstone buildings in Brooklyn whose roofs were peeled off by the wind.
"The wind was holding my ceiling up in the air. It was like a wave, it went up and fell back down," said Ruby Ellis, 58, who was doing dishes in her top-floor kitchen when the storm hit. "After the roof went up, then all the rain came down and I had a flood."
Townsend Davis, 47, stood outside of his home in Brooklyn, where a 40-foot tree that was uprooted from the sidewalk and crushed two cars still had a sign in the soil around its roots that read "Respect the trees."
"Someone up there wasn't listening," Davis said. "I'm just glad it fell that way, as bad as I feel for the owners of that car, because if it fell this way, my house wouldn't be here."
Davis' children and wife were in the home when the storm hit.
"All of a sudden, we saw this dark cloud, and it was moving. I said `Let's go in!'" said Stephen Wylie, who was working in a backyard in Brooklyn.
Within seconds, the front door started lashing back and forth. Trees branches were falling and trees came flying from other yards, Wylie said.
"They smashed the whole backyard, a gazebo there. Then half the roof was torn off - eight layers of it" - leaving only a layer of wood, he said.

I removed the back service panel and checked the drain hose for any debris and checked the connection from the tub basin to the drain pump. I then check the drain pump and noticed the impeller blades were a bit worn. After the new drain pump arrived, I did have to swap the old intake housing with the new one in order for the whole thing to mount to the shock-absorbing mounting plate. Reconnected both hoses and the electrical connection and everything ran great!

UPDATE: WhenWillApple thinks they know what's going on with the 3.1 fix.
Looks like the tempest has run out of room in the teapot, as that bug we linked to earlier, about iPhone 3.0 Spotlight showing email messages that should be well and truly deleted, seems to have indeed been crushed in iPhone 3.1.

UPDATE: iPhone 3.1 does indeed fix this.
Matt Janssen has discovered what looks like a bug in iPhone 3.0 Spotlight, whereby the search feature keeps emails in the index/cache even after they've been deleted from the inbox and purged from the trash (and even obliterated from the host server). Janssen claims in the video above he's found emails he deleted several months ago using this method.
No doubt about it, issues with battery life remain a hot topic for iPhone 3.0 and iPhone 3GS users.
Now, if your battery drain is caused simply by use -- you never put the iPhone (or iPod touch) down and are always playing games, pushing IMs, watching movies, etc. your only choice is to get a few more charging cables or battery extenders. If, however, you're doing roughly the same things you've always done and getting substantially less battery life for your troubles, there's a chance a few troubleshooting steps might just help get your power problems back under control.
148apps posted up a PR from a developer in the Czech Republic that states:
Apple has updated a knowledge base article for those "Unable to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with iPhone or iPod touch because there's no address listed for the device", which is something we've heard quite a bit about lately. The four-pronged approach:
Join Dieter, Chad, Chris, and Rene for iPhone 3.1, 3.0 bugs, keyboarding, laptop replacement, and the one year Appy Anniversary. Listen in!
Back when iPhone 3.0 launched, we heard Wi-Fi was giving problems to some -- primarily iPod touch -- users. Various network resets or OS restores seem to have quieted that down, but now TUAW is reporting that the newly launched iPhone 3GS might be suffering Wi-Fi troubles as well:
Since the iPhone 3.0 Jailbreak has become available, and now with both purplera1n and redsn0w coming on line with iPhone 3GS Jailbreak solutions, we've heard rumblings about problems with Push Notifications not working, or not working properly.
The Dev Team has noted this:
we have some remaining 3.0 jailbreak issues to investigate, including push notification
we have some remaining 3.0 jailbreak issues to investigate, including push notification
Back when Apple re-introduced Push Notification at the iPhone 3.0 Sneak Preview Event, Scott Forstall claimed that, unlike background multitasking that could cause an 80% drop in battery life, Push Notification would only cause a 20% drop. While some debated the truth (or truthiness) of his claims, it did set the expectation that users running Push Notification-enabled apps would see lower battery life, and gave an indicator of just how much less.

Ranking among the legendary Italian builders, Azimut has created some of the most elegant designs on the water, each so striking and fashion-forward that passengers sometimes feel a sense of privilege sitting on board. In addition to its lines, the brand is known for its best-in-class engineering, construction and fine finish. Synonymous with sophistication, the company that was founded in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli when he was still a student in Italy also works hard to maximize production efficiencies and keep prices competitive while continually introducing new models to stimulate interest. Each model in the Azimut range–which includes flybridge yachts, the S Collection of sport yachts, the Magellano range of Italian-style trawlers, and the Grande collection of superyachts– reflects the attention to detail and the styling excellence associated with the best in Italian manufacturing.

Beautiful styling, elegant accommodations, and outstanding performance define the Azimut 80, a high-end luxury yacht whose "dorsal fin" windows and vertical hull ports are notably distinctive design elements. The main deck opens into a spacious and impeccably styled salon with facing settees, high-gloss cherrywood joinery and luxurious furnishings. A formal dining area is forward, opposite the narrow galley, and there are four staterooms and heads on the lower level including a full-beam master. Note that twin garages in the transom of the Azimut 80 have pushed the crew quarters forward of the engineroom, which explains why the staterooms seem rather compact for a yacht this size. The engineroom, reached from either the crew quarters or the swim platform, is unusually spacious, and V-drives allow the motors to be set well aft in the hull. The flybridge is a wide-open entertainment platform with a wet bar, barbecue, seating for ten and space for a tender. Additional features include a protected aft deck, galley access to the crew quarters, a huge foredeck sun pad, and teak decks. Twin 1,300hp MTU diesels cruise the Azimut 80 at 23 knots (25–6 knots top), and 1,500 MTUs cruise a knot or two faster.

George Buchanan (diplomat)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
Sir George William Buchanan GCB GCMG GCVO PC (1854–1924) was a British diplomat. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, he was the son of British Ambassador Sir Andrew Buchanan, Bt..
Diplomatic career[edit]
Buchanan entered diplomatic service, and in 1899 served on the Venezuelan Boundary Commission. In late 1901 he moved to Berlin, where he was appointed First Secretary at the British embassy.[1] In 1908 he was appointed as minister in The Hague, The Netherlands. In 1910 Buchanan was appointed as the British Ambassador to Russia. He kept abreast of the political developments in Russia and met some of the leading liberal reformists in the country. It has been suggested that this was secretly encouraged by the then Liberal government in London.
Buchanan was the ambassador at the time of the Russian Revolution in 1917. He had developed a strong bond with the Tsar, Nicholas II, and attempted to convince the Tsar that granting some constitutional reform would stave-off revolution. Unfortunately Nicholas's opinion of him was poisoned by the Tsarina's views. Knowing that there were plots to stage a palace coup to replace him, Sir George formally requested an audience of the Tsar in the troubled early days of 1917. At his last meeting with Nicholas he pleaded with him in 'undiplomatic' language: "I can but plead as my excuse the fact that I have throughout been inspired by my feelings of devotion for Your Majesty and the Empress. If I were to see a friend walking through a wood on a dark night along a path which I knew ended in a precipice, would it not be my duty, sir, to warn him of his danger? And is it not equally my duty to warn Your Majesty of the abyss that lies ahead of you? You have, sir, come to the parting of the ways, and you have now to choose between two paths. The one will lead you to victory and a glorious peace – the other to revolution and disaster. Let me implore Your Majesty to choose the former." (12 January 1917 – page 49, Vol.II autobiography)
Although the Tsar was touched by the Ambassador's devotion, he allowed his wife's malevolent attitudes to overbear the sensible advice he had been given. After the collapse of the Autocracy (see Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia), he developed close relations with the liberal Provisional Government led by Alexander Kerensky that formed after the February Revolution. However, after the events of the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks ascendency to power he was widely criticised for the failure to ensure that Tsar Nicholas II and his family were evacuated from Russia before their execution by the Bolsheviks at Ekaterinburg in 1918. It is now known that this was not his fault but that of the Tsar's first cousin, King George V of Great Britain who, fearful of revolutionary trends in Britain and the stability of his own throne, persuaded the Lloyd George government to rescind the offer they had made to provide sanctuary for the Imperial Family.
Sir George, disappointed that the fledgling democracy offered by the Provisional Government was strangled by the Bolshevik coup in October, finished his distinguished career as ambassador to the Kingdom of Italy from 1919–21.
Sir George's autobiography, My Mission to Russia and Other Diplomatic Memories, was published in 1923. It is believed that he had to leave out some of what he knew under threat of losing his pension. He died in 1924.
