Vero Beach planners recommend allowing larger real estate signs in residential areas
VERO BEACH — Larger real estate signs soon might be legal within the city limits after the city's Planning and Zoning Board on Thursday gave its stamp of approval to allow for signs up to 3 square feet in residential areas.
The City Council will conduct the first hearing on the temporary sign ordinance at its Sept. 18 meeting and the final vote is expected at the council's first meeting in October.
Many residents might not notice much of a change because for some time, the city has not been actively enforcing the old restriction that limited the real estate signs to one square foot in size.
The new ordinance also will limit political signs to 3 square feet, but this restriction is not scheduled to take effect until after the November elections. Currently, these signs are allowed to be up to 9 square feet.
The size of the real estate signs has been a point of some contention in the real estate community.
The city's Planning and Zoning Board earlier had recommended allowing real estate signs to be a maximum of 4 square feet. That size would be consistent with Indian River County's regulations. It also was the recommendation of an informal group of business people, Realtors and others the city's staff had used in drafting the revised temporary sign ordinance.
In March, however, the City Council narrowly approved a new temporary sign ordinance that kept the real estate signs at 1 square foot, while allowing other signs to be up to 4 square feet. The council took the action after real estate agent Al Benkert said he and others wanted the real estate signs limited to the smaller size.
That action didn't sit well with some other real estate agents. In July, more than a dozen showed up to urge the council to reconsider its action and argued that real estate signs should be treated like all other residential signs. At that point, the council decided it would be best to go with a 3 square foot restriction and sent the sign ordinance back to the Planning and Zoning Board so it could be revised.
Mike Lafferty, president-elect of the Realtors Association of Indian River County, was pleased with the board's action, but added the issue really was an issue of fairness as opposed to the size of the signs.
"We just wanted to be equal with everybody else," he said.

text: PAINTSVILLE — A pretrial hearing in the case of former Johnson County school finance officer Peggy L. VanHoose was scheduled Wednesday for Feb. 14.A Johnson County grand jury indicted VanHoose, 57, of Tutor Key, on Nov. 16, charging her with issuing bimonthly checks totaling over $12,000 to her son while he was in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on drug offenses. The checks issued to her son were school system checks and varied in range between $450 and $515 between the time he was first jailed in December 2002 and released after March 2004. VanHoose, who worked 33 years for the Johnson County school district, retired as district treasurer in August 2005 but returned to work as finance director until she was let go last March. An internal investigation into the district's payroll began after the death of former superintendent Orville Hamilton in October 2005. His replacement, Steve Trimble, took office Jan. 1. 2006, and the investigation until VanHoose's indictment last November.Investigators have said that VanHoose was authorized as the district's finance officer to issue school system checks. VanHoose was in Johnson Circuit Court Wednesday for two pretrial conferences in the case, with a combined total of 26 charges of complicity to theft charges. Each charge is a Class D felony, each punishable by up to five years in prison and $10,000 fine.

FORGOTTEN HISTORY: The decades-old central bus depot at Gowliguda being used as maintenance shed for the RTC. Photo: Mohd. Yousuf
HYDERABAD: The erstwhile Nizam's spacious hangar at Gowliguda, once destination for all district buses coming to the city, is likely to be converted into a multi-utility complex.
The hangar is said to have been built for maintenance of the Nizam's aircraft and later converted into a bus station and came to be known popularly as Gowliguda CBS.
After the APSRTC came up with the new facility at the Imlibun island and shifted the station there, the historic premises has been turned into a garage and refurbishing unit. The hangar, then built on the lines of the California Hangar, is being used to park buses of RTC's Hyderabad-I Depotwhile the refurbishing unit is engaged in pulling out seats from buses and fixing them back after repair. "Almost 60 per cent of the hangar space functions as garage for the 90-odd buses of the depot that are sent for a wash and cleaning purposes," says an official. Given the prime location and the space available, a proposal has been mooted to develop the premises into a commercial complex-cum-depot with city bus terminal and a CNG station.
Feasibility study
The project has been envisaged on Build-Own-Transfer basis for better utilisation of the premise and the RTC's civil engineering wing has reportedly been entrusted with the task of carrying out a feasibility study. Dating back to the Nizam's days, the hangar was said to be built for maintenance of the then ruler's newly procured planes. "The planes used to land at Parade Grounds and it is said they were towed all the way to Gowliguda for maintenance purpose," says a senior official.

Global Economy & Trade
Proactively responding to the demands of the worldwide marketplace remains at the core of SCOA's business. A global perspective combined with local market knowledge enables our company to unite the needs of one economy with the advantages of another. As policy actions taken in the US and countries around the globe begin to restore economic and job growth in the wake of the global recession, an important part of the recovery will be the restoration of trade expansion. In fact, rapid trade growth may well act as a transmitter of economic stimulus around the globe and a vehicle of recovery, particularly if enhanced by additional efforts to reduce barriers and expand trading opportunities further. SCOA is thus committed to leveling the playing field for our business by lowering barriers to trade and investment. In the year ahead, we will continue to advocate a robust trade agenda on the part of the US administration and Congress. SCOA will also continue to discourage economic isolationism, including undue restrictions on investment, procurement, exports, sourcing, and human capital.
Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement
SCOA supports the creation of the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership (TPP). The TPP's goal of creating a fair regulatory structure between countries on both sides of the Pacific Ocean is revoltionary and an ideal trade agreement for the 21st century. The TPP's focus on helping small to middle sized enterprises will help create jobs and encourage international trade. SCOA encourages Japan to continue TPP negotiations with the United States.

Moshe Kahlon Makes a Splash
Does Netanyahu need to look over his shoulder?
Communications Minister Moshe Kahlon, who has already become a popular figure in Israel after successfully fighting against cell phone monopolies that cost Israelis hundreds of shekelim a month, did something curious this week in announcing that he would be taking a break from politics. According to a few sources, Kahlon also commissioned a poll (although he disputes this) that revealed that if he struck out on his own and left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party, a new party chaired by him could garner as many as 20 seats in the upcoming election. If Kahlon were to pair up with Tzipi Livni, that number rose to 26 seats, which is one more seat than Likud currently holds. Kahlon claims he is not leaving Likud; meanwhile, Netanyahu continues to embrace him.
At its made the rounds, news of the merger between the Likud Party and Yisrael Beiteinu has given momentum to the idea that Israel might see a coalition on the center-left rise in opposition to it. Could Kahlon lead the charge? Probably not. But here's some information on him anyway.
Along with his phone feats, the man from Hadera was also appointed minister of welfare and social services two years ago, and swiftly became the caring face of a government generally seen as rather heartless, spearheading an effort from within to reallocate resources to ease some of the economic hardships of impoverished Israelis. He complained about bank fees. He sought to cut electricity prices, or at least offer subsidized rates for those most in need. This, too, was a major factor in his popularity. "When he spoke to Likud members about his elderly mother in (Hadera's) Givat Olga neighborhood struggling to pay her electricity and water bills," noted Haaretz's political commentator Yossi Verter, "they believed every word of it."
What seems worth nothing is that Kahlon is the son of Libyan parents and that Sephardi voters have been instrumental in both putting and keeping Likud in power for decades now. With a dearth of credible Sephardi politicians, who knows how his maneuvers might change the political landscape. But is there a precedent, however unlikely, for a politician to leave Likud and take control of the country? As David Horovitz points out, Ariel Sharon did the same thing.

Chamakh: I have surpassed own expectations at Arsenal
Marouane Chamakh admits he's delighted with the way he has started his career with Arsenal.
The Morocco striker has struck twice in his first four games for the club.
"I've settled in quickly and things couldn't have gone much better from that point of view. I gave myself six months or maybe even a year to settle down here and I'm ahead of schedule in that respect. I'm delighted with how it's going although training has been very tough for me," Chamakh told fifa.com.
"I don't think I've ever worked as hard as this physically, but here I am experiencing everything I'd envisaged about Arsenal and the English league. The atmosphere in the stadiums, the open and attacking football and the standard of the team are just amazing. I'm getting involved in the games and I'm scoring too. I'm so happy "

I do know better than that, which is why I didn't say it. I said that I've known to many that don't take responsibility. That's very different than saying none do.
I understand your disbelief, but is it necessary for you to demean my beliefs as "daydream". Certainly you are more articulate than resorting to childish banter. But then again it seems to be the norm for this forum..............too bad.
I'm sorry that you take offense, but the word is used in the correct context. It's all just an elaborate fairytale, myth, daydream, self-delusion, whatever you want to call it. It describes events and occurances that are known to not be possible in this world. It is no different than any other myth system of present or past history. Believing in it strongly does not change that.
Peace is our profession, war is just a hobby...

TALLAHASSEE — Republican leaders in the Florida Senate offered up a revamped health care proposal Tuesday in an effort to end a budget stalemate that threatens to shut down state government, but the proposal was immediately rejected by Gov. Rick Scott and House GOP leaders.
Legislators are scheduled to return to the state Capitol next week for a 20-day special session where they are expected to pass a new state budget.
MIAMI — A waterspout uprooted an inflatable bounce house with three children inside it on a South Florida beach Monday, but the youngsters were tossed to the sand before it flew above palm trees and over four lanes of traffic, police said.
All three children were quickly thrown to the beach while another nearby bounce house, which was unoccupied, also took flight over the state road, authorities said. Both inflatables crashed won in a parking lot.
ORLANDO — Must see to appreciate! Cozy two-story cottage with bath, kitchenette, loft, spacious porch and community garden. Walking distance to health care, bus line, library and shops.
Sound appealing? Tim McKinney thinks so. He's CEO of United Global Outreach, the nonprofit working to improve life for low-income residents in Bithlo. His vision for this tiny home — just 456 square feet — is one of the solutions Central Florida leaders are eyeing to house homeless people at a time when rents for conventional housing have soared.
TALLAHASSEE — As the clock ticked closer to midnight, lawmakers became more anxious. A six-month legislative session featuring near fist fights, budget vetoes and intense racial politics was winding down, yet they still had not figured out how to keep the lights on.
If lawmakers don't pass a budget by the June 30 end of the fiscal year, it triggers a government shutdown. That means mass state worker furloughs, a suspension of most government services, and a body blow to the state economy.
JUNO BEACH — Sea turtle experts are keeping a watchful eye on Florida's shoreline, looking for continuing evidence of the population's rebound.
With turtle nesting season underway, observers are monitoring eggs on the beach, hopeful the improved nest counts of the past five years will continue.
Loggerheads and leatherbacks have been paddling to shore by the hundreds.
Green turtles typically wait for summer.
QUINCY — Authorities have captured a murder suspect who escaped from the Gadsden County Jail on Sunday evening.
Gadsden County Sheriff's Office Maj. Robert Barkley said Gregory Sapp Jr., 24, was caught by K-9 dogs on Pat Thomas Parkway in Quincy.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Barkley said Sapp was in the recreational yard of the Gadsden County Jail about 6 p.m. when he pulled up a wire fence from the bottom and escaped underneath.
Hispanic voters already are playing a major role in the 2016 presidential race, a sign of their growing importance in Florida and other key states.
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, is bracing for a fierce competition for Hispanic votes, knowing her eventual Republican opponent may be former Gov. Jeb Bush or Sen. Marco Rubio, fluent Spanish speakers from Florida, who fared well with Hispanics in past statewide elections.
ORLANDO — George Zimmerman had moved out of Florida recently, hoping for a fresh start.
In the two years since his acquittal in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, the one-time neighborhood watch volunteer has had several run-ins with the law.
Once again, he is involved in a police investigation, only this time authorities say he was shot at in his pickup truck. What exactly transpired with the shooter — a man he crossed paths with last fall — is in dispute.
MIAMI — Just days after flying to Washington in hopes of convincing the Obama administration to extend federal hospital funds, Gov. Rick Scott was back in the nation's capital Tuesday slamming federal health officials for denying his request.
The administration wants the Florida governor to expand Medicaid to more than 800,000 Floridians, which it says is a more efficient use of federal funds than paying hospitals retroactively for caring for the uninsured.
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott has appointed nine members to a commission aimed at wading through the finances of hospitals that receive tax-payer funds.
Only two health care professionals — the state's surgeon general and a reconstructive microsurgeon — were appointed.
With a looming $1 billion hole in the budget from the potential loss of federal funds for hospitals that treat Medicaid and uninsured patients, Scott is working to show that Florida hospitals are not in as bad financial shape as they maintain.
America's oldest city is slowly drowning.
St. Augustine's centuries-old Spanish fortress sits feet from the encroaching Atlantic, whose waters already flood the city's narrow streets about 10 times a year - a problem worsening as sea levels rise. The city relies on tourism, but visitors might someday have to wear waders at high tide.

Dining Bar Akira centers on the happenings in a bar Kuimonodokoro Akira runs. Although the 32-year-old has never given thought to being in a relationship with a man, Akira seriously considers the proposition when he receives a sudden love confession from his male colleague, 26 year-old Torihara. It's no secret that new relationships can bring about their fair share of stress, but one with another man? And with a colleague to boot?
Finding himself in quite a conundrum, Akira struggles with his pride as an older man facing a younger and male pursuer, never mind that busy bar he's responsible for managing.

About that 47-0 stat
|06.04.10 at 2:48 am ET
LOS ANGELES — Phil Jackson coached teams, as you may have heard, have never lost a series when his team won the first game. The number is 47-0 and it's been getting a lot of play around here.
Ray Allen was unimpressed.
"Nothing," was his answer to a question about what it meant to him. "Stats are made after the fact. Most of us don't live in the past."
It really doesn't mean anything, other than Jackson has coached some pretty good teams. The Celtics have been bucking the odds the entire postseason.
They beat the hottest team in the league in the first round. They beat Cleveland after being down 1-0 and 2-1 and they took two games in Orlando after the Magic had not lost a game at all since early April.
Their entire playoff run has been something of an anomaly anyway, so no, they are not intimidated by this piece of historical data.

Notes on a Scandal
1. Make sure this doesn't happen to you. Having exhausted the news out of the Spitzers' troubles but impelled to sustain the morning talk-talk, television producers turned their attention to the lessons the sex scandal might hold for the prols. Fidelity experts, infidelity experts, relationship experts, psychologists, all trooped into the studios to coach women at home in their bedroom slippers on how to keep their man. "Work," they say. Work at your makeup (and for God's sake, close the bathroom door!), your cooking, your clothes, your sexual performance. Work to avoid "getting too comfortable." Work to have "a new mental experience." A high-end call girl on the Today show tells wives to "put more effort into having a good relationship." The notion that one might play at a relationship, at intimacy, sex, conversation, is nowhere broached. Play, or at least its illusion, has been relinquished to the realm of the actual working girl, the prostitute, while the wife--whose only claim to uniqueness lies in marriage's relative freedom from commerce, from the exchange value of worker to boss, servant to client--is urged to labor at love. She is given no useful tips on, say, skull fucking (relax that throat and just keep telling yourself, "I am not going to die"), an effort that might chip into the call girl's business. Rather, the most detailed advice nudges her toward police work. An expert in body language suggests that a wife gauge her spouse's "base-line behavior" early on: what is his normal blink rate? his sweat rate? how often in conversation does he shift from foot to foot? Armed with those innocent numbers and comparative measurements, she later will be able to discern--as he tells some preposterous story while standing there a blinking, sweaty, fidgety heap--when he is lying, when he is cheating. "Is it OK to wiretap?" the host of a local New York Fox TV show jocularly asks the panel of experts assembled for a quick lesson in "Relationship 101." Certainly check the e-mails, scan the phone records, monitor the credit card bills, check where he's going on the Internet. "You can't wait for something to turn up," one of them warns. See something, say something. No longer shelter from the storm, marriage equips itself for surveillance.
2. The bed is bugged. For a country awash in sex scandals, it is rare that anyone admits the scandal is actually about sex. "It's not the sex, it's the lying," people would say in explaining what upset them so about Bill Clinton's romp with Monica. It's always something else: the cover-up or the hypocrisy or the outrage upon the taxpayer. Because Eliot Spitzer had run stings on prostitution outfits when he was New York's Attorney General, the hypocrisy claim had more heft than it had when Pastor Ted Haggard was discovered to have been a friend, no a Samaritan, no a drug buyer, no a massage client, no a regular john to a male prostitute. His preachments against homosexuality notwithstanding, Haggard's dalliances were so richly detailed, his church so bedecked in homoerotic art, his Christianity so engorged with brotherhood and temptation and every man's battle against lustfulness that it was absurd not to regard his life story, much less his fall, within the thick weave of sex. In different colorations the same was true for Clinton. But Spitzer was caught in an entrapment scandal, and the twist was that within twenty-four hours virtually everyone was crying, "It's the sex!" as the initial details of wiretaps and search warrants; bank monitoring and wire transfers; 5,000-plus intercepted phone calls and text messages; 6,000-plus seized e-mails; travel records; hotel records; $4,300; the undercover officer; the confidential informant; the IRS, FBI, US Attorney; and an opportune disclosure--that is, the full fetish bag of the public dick--gave way to more primitive obsessions. Whereas on Monday, March 10, we knew only vaguely of a transaction with "Kristen" in Room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel, by week's end we knew Kristen's face, her breasts, her tattoos; we knew her name, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, her singing voice and ghetto pose ("Whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger"), the competing narratives of tough stuff and cozy privilege between which the truth of her life probably falls; we knew that her Client No. 9 would have had other numbers on different occasions with her and other women for whose services he had paid a total of $80,000. After five days, FBI agent Kenneth Hosey was less well-known than he had been when his leaked affidavit formed the basis of the scandal. Newspaper columns and letters to the editor now flick at expectations of privacy with a sneer: Spitzer should have known better, and so should the rest of us low-rollers. How quaint to assume that one's life isn't in some respects a peep show for the state.
3. Forbede us thing, and that desiren we. No one was a victim on Friday, March 7. Not Silda Wall Spitzer. Not her daughters. Not Ashley Dupre. That's the day Eliot Spitzer learned the whip would be coming down on Monday. He told his family on Sunday. The next day the women were instant victims, humiliated in varying degrees, degraded, ashamed, pitied, scorned. What was more titillating in those initial hours of the scandal: the frisson imagining the apparatus of surveillance, or the spectacle of a public shaming? Those who took to the airwaves or the keyboard justified gorging on the pain or anxiety of the women by fabricating histories of exploitation for them. Silda had been a victim all along, the many testimonies to her bubbly relationship with Eliot aside, because her marriage was "a lie." By one remove, the daughters had also been victims without knowing it, imprisoned in a girlish love that their Daddy betrayed with every furtive text message. Ashley was a victim, naturally, because every woman in the sex business is. Her spectacular wage scale, substantial negotiating power and fast track to a seven-diamond pussy were all incidental to the cut-out of likely drug-user, abuse survivor, low-self-esteem sex slave into which the various experts sought to press the then-unknown Kristen. We are meant to believe that nonstop mortification by media chatter is good for all these women. The truth shall set them free--and make a nice little egg for the therapists that the Spitzer girls are predicted to have to see for years. That the Spitzers might truly have had the happy marriage they displayed to the world, and that Kristen and her co-workers at Emperors Club might have had something to do with that, is unthinkable. "He had a double life"; he had secrets. We seem incapable of accommodating a practical upside to secrets. Maybe he actually needed something sexually and emotionally, something he didn't want to ask of his wife, a fantasy achievable only with a stranger, a release valve that would stabilize the rest of his intimate life and be safer, simpler, less threatening than a girlfriend. That he himself had scant generosity toward others who are drawn to the forbidden need not compel us all to be prosecutors.
4. Gotcha! The lie detector, the interrogation, a figure sweating in the glare of lights, the suffering spouse, all have become common fare in the public square. Silda Spitzer's tensed stand by her man at his news conferences, compared to waterboarding by a writer in the New York Post, is distant competition to The Moment of Truth for putting married life in the stocks. Fox TV's game show, in which ordinary people submit to a polygraph test and then take the hot seat to answer a series of increasingly aggressive questions, proceeds from the premise that people have secrets, little lies they tell or truths concealed for the sake of harmony, which, however, they will freely give up on national television, exposing their loved ones and themselves, for cash. "The only thing that might temper your jealousy," the host tells a reeling husband, "is that she's three questions away from $100,000." He nods, remembering their debts, the fresh start all agree the money represents, and gives a clown's smile. "Question 14: Do you have any secrets that you believe could end your marriage?" The wife could have stopped the interrogation at $25,000. Only what in old days was called "larceny in the blood" keeps it going. The answer from her earlier polygraph test hangs like a sword of judgment to be delivered as soon as she gives her public response. "Yes," she finally says, and an echoing robovoice takes its time pronouncing, "That answer is true." Her husband curls into himself, but she is still in the game, and he insists he doesn't want to know that secret. The host steps in as the voice of responsibility before posing the final question. "You have to weigh the money against those things which quite honestly are the value of your marriage," he says. "You're free to quit...but you've gone this far." They press on. "Question 15, for $100,000: Do you believe you will be married to Darren for the rest of your life?" Darren now appears a broken man, his pain stretched into luxurious agony by a commercial break. Less than a week later there is not a newspaper or TV "analyst" who is not cluck-clucking because Eliot Spitzer, Silda at his side, has called his dealings with Kristen "a private matter."
5. Now don't you ask yourself who they are. The wives may work, and work it; the paid professionals require rescue, therapy, a hand up from the dungeon of their trauma or false consciousness. But, first, one last self-exposure. Audacia Ray received a phone call from MSNBC's Dan Abrams show after the scandal broke. "Have you been a whore?" the pre-interviewer asked. Ray corrected him; she has worked in the sex industry, which her questioner knew because she contributes to a blog for sex workers called Bound, Not Gagged and is the executive editor of $pread magazine. "They were casting for someone to talk about how to find a client, what happens in a session," personal stories with the nitty gritty of sex for hire and the presumed tragic arc of degradation, says Ray. She wanted to talk about working conditions, harm reduction, variable rates of pay, danger, legality and choice in the work. Sex as labor; "trafficking" as, most commonly, an element in the larger story of poverty and migration or, in the case of Kristen, the professional travel of a consenting adult. Ray was not what the show was looking for. The next day, March 11, her site carried a joint press release by herself and representatives from Sex Workers Action New York (SWANK), Sex Workers Outreach Project NYC (SWOP-NYC), Prostitutes of New York (PONY) and the Desiree Alliance. They pointed out the discrepancy of Spitzer's standing up "for workers' rights in certain capacities" but not others, enhancing penalties for clients like himself, and otherwise applying additional legal veneers to "the deeply-rooted corruption that is associated with the prohibition of prostitution." Their notion of prostitution, lap dancing, pole dancing, porn acting and myriad other erotic services exchanged for cash as jobs--not the worst jobs in the economy, not always the most risky or exploitative jobs, certainly not the lowest skilled--evokes a dignity-of-work argument as old as Adam and as familiar as the latest union campaign. Its obvious rationality largely eludes the nation, right to left, for which shame is the game.

- " Hostel was in a great location, right next to the red light district and only a 5 minute walk to Damsquare. I found it a little strange that there were no keycards, and you had to get into the hostel by showing a voucher, and also that the rooms to the doors had no locks. I didn't feel unsafe, it was just a little odd. You are provided with a large locker and locks were only 4 euro at the desk (or you can bring your own). Free hot breakfast included. All in all a good hostel. "
- 15 May 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " Good experience, but there are place to many improvements,toilet hangers for towels it's a basic one, 0,40 €ents each cheese slice at the breakfast? good lord... however recommendable. "
- 01 May 2015 Anonymous Portugal
- " Friendly staff..... Location is good. Was in one of the rooms on 3rd floor and the outside alleyway noise made for a long night. Just wish there were more plug ins in the rooms but the overall experience was a positive one. "
- 29 Apr 2015 Michelle USA
- " The room was very small for 16 people, not a lot of space AT ALL. It was freezing at night, when the staff comes in to clean in the morning they leave all the windows and doors WIDE OPEN so anyone on the smoking terrace could waltz right in. There are NO outlets in the rooms. Security as other reviewers have mentioned is poor, you only show a piece of paper to get let in. Location is in red light district but far walk from any tourist attractions. Only plus was a hot breakfast. "
- 22 Apr 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Perfekt place, for short time. Recommendet this hostel "
- 21 Apr 2015 VALERIJUS Lithuania
- " we booked a four people room with bathroom, it's really nice, the room is really clean. The location is really good, it just besides the RLS, but it's pretty safe, and people have to show their voucher when they get into the hostel. Also, the stuffs are friendly and they are ready to help others. There also a supermarket nearby, it's pretty convenient. "
- 20 Apr 2015 Jingwei China
- " The hostel was lifeless and the occupants don't appear socialable. The wifi works but there are very few outlets. The bathrooms are clean and there are enough stalls for the most parts. It is also close to the train station, although tricky to find. Overall decent experience. "
- 16 Apr 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " I like the high degree of Christianity atmosphere In the hostel, acting as a pure light in the red light district. Staff are very nice. Messages on the wall are very encouraging. But wifi is weak at the upper floor. "
- 09 Apr 2015 Anonymous Hong Kong
- " The location of the hostel a bit hard to find. The security need to be improve as everyone entered the hostel are able to go other room easily as there are no lock on the room and beside the main door of the room, people can come to your room from the door close to the courtyard which can't lock. You need to store your valueable things in the locker of the room and bring your lock or else you can buy it from the front desk. The staffs are nice and helpful and the breakfast provided are tasty.

The best time of the day to tweet is when your followers are online most. Tweriod can help you determine this, and Buffer can help you remember when to reach the most amount of people at the most opportune times. / Getty Images/iStockphoto
There are many studies (some better than others) that suggest the best times and days for you to use Twitter. Some studies suggest weekdays over weekends. Some suggest morning over night. Some studies are presented in easy-to-read infographics to entice you to share with your followers. If only you knew what the best time really is.
Here are some simple ways to determine when your followers are online most. The first tip is to stop tweeting and think about it for a moment. Who are your followers? Where are your followers geographically? What do they do for a living?
Tweeting in the middle of the night may not make sense if your followers are all tucked in counting sheep. Tweeting during lunch may make great sense if that is the time your followers are most likely to be using Twitter. Do they take some downtime during their lunch breaks?
It is always best to put yourself in the shoes of your followers. Consider when it is likely best to reach them based on where they live and what they do for a living. Follow this up by using a service to see if you are right; you probably are.
Tweriod (www.tweriod.com) is a service you can use to determine when your followers are online most. You give it access to your Twitter profile, and after a little time it will reveal what the best times and days are to reach the most people. It actually measures your followers. Run this yourself to see if your assumptions are correct.
Buffer (www.bufferapp.com) is one of my favorite services. I use it to schedule some tweets throughout the week. It provides users with analytics, so they can see which tweets are performing best. Buffer provides you with several times when it thinks you may get the best response, but theres a secret to perfecting this.
You can give Tweriod access to automatically adjust your Buffer schedule based on the best times it determines. Both services are free, so you should give them a test drive to see what you think.
I have written here before about scheduling tweets. Always be on the lookout for replies, retweets and favorites. Dont schedule something and ignore the responses. Be active and ready to reply to the questions and comments you receive.
I use the analogy of a cocktail party when I provide social media training to my clients. Picture yourself standing in a crowded room of people networking. Would you approach a small group and ask them a question, only to walk away as they begin to reply to you? I should hope not.
The same can be said for communicating on social media. Be present and ready to reply. Always keep this in your mind when you schedule tweets, updates and posts. Its rude to ask a question and walk away.
The best time of the day to tweet is when your followers are online most. Tweriod can help you determine this, and Buffer can help you remember when to reach the most amount of people at the most opportune times. Remember to go with your gut, too. You know your followers better than anyone else.

My brother's xbox isn't booting up. It's getting an error 7 (HDD time-out)and the hard drive (Samsung 120gb) is making a constant ticking noise. It will boot up maybe 1 out of 10 tries. This means the hard drive is failing, doesn't it? I was wondering about something though. One of his friends was swapping out dvd drives with him, and I believe he might have done it while the xbox was powered on (yes, he's a moron). Could this have caused the hard drive to start failing? He might have also unplugged the hard drive while it was on. Would either of these cause the hard drive to fail? I would just like to be able to tell him whether he should kill his friend or just try to get a replacement from Samsung (or both).

Do you have a loved one with dementia? If yes, then you will want to do some due diligence if they need nursing home care. Make sure the facility you are considering actually lives up to its advertising!
Consider the case of Massachusetts, where state regulators are finding that nursing homes advertising dementia care may be guilty of false advertising.
A recent article in the Boston Globe, titled "Dementia care lacks oversight in Mass., data show," reports that state regulators are just too busy with routine monitoring of more than 400 nursing homes to conduct spot checks for compliance with new state law standards. However, the state health department recently announced that its inspectors would now review dementia care during their annual visits to each facility.
Problem: This means some nursing homes may not be subject to these compliance checks for months.
This process has been slow. The state handed out its dementia special care checklist for inspectors in December—almost six months after new rules were adopted.
The president of the state's Advocates for Nursing Home Reform says the new rules, once implemented, could substantially improve the lives of nursing home residents.
Nevertheless, increased oversight and greater nursing home participation are crucial to ensure that the benefits of the new law are meaningful. In response, nursing home administrators say they are struggling to comply with the rules due to its expense.
What a mess.
The Massachusetts Senior Care Association reports that many members have spent as much as $30,000 on the required staff training. Those rules—in addition to other general training requirements—are intended to close a loophole that allowed nursing homes to "advertise" dementia units without providing added training for their workers, specialized resident activities, or safety measures to prevent residents from wandering.
Massachusetts is lagging behind the rest of the country on requiring these protections.
The original article reports that a 2005 federal report noted that 44 states at that time already had requirements governing training, staffing, and security for facilities that provide specialized dementia care. Regulators believe it was important to mandate the training, as over 50% of the state's 41,000 nursing home residents have dementia.
If you are looking for assistance finding a safe environment for your loved one with dementia in the greater Kansas City area, then I highly recommend Steve Kuker of Senior Care Consulting. His organization has helped many of my clients find appropriate long-term care arrangements for themselves and their loved one.
Remember: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." When making your financial, tax and estate plans, do not go it alone. Be sure to engage competent professional counsel.

Hacking a Moto Cablemodem...
...to give correct information and change the default password.
Ok, basically the above says it all.
The modem is a SBV5121. My contract with the cable company says 16/1 but the modem tells me 55/10 and I can not believe that.
The other point is how to change the default password: is there any way to accomplish that?
Also, I would like to know what filters are running on the box. As far as I can tell it runs VxWorks and the only thing that seems to be running is that stupid httpd that does not let me configure anything...
