St. Petersburg City Council sends pier decisions to a city-wide vote
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The fate of the St. Pete Pier is still in the air. The St. Petersburg City Council voted 5-3 Thursday to ask residents to vote on the future of the landmark.
Earlier this year, when the city approved a new design for the pier called The Lens, members of the group voteonthepier.com spoke out, saying the new design was just not what the area needs.
Some of the reasons cited included design, function, and cost.
They want any new pier and the related expenses to go through a vote by the citizens of St. Petersburg.
Thursday they got their wish.
The pier will be put to a vote on the November, 2012 ballot.
A public hearing has been scheduled for August 2 to determine the language on the ballot.

An art exhibition in Paris is trying to break age old taboos. 'The Body Uncovered' focuses on the naked body in Arab art.
It's being held at the Arab World Institute and is aimed at showing that despite religious restrictions and social censure towards Arab artists; many are still daring to express themselves.
The show "challenges the stereotypes usually associated with the Arab world that reduce it to the single image of religious fanaticism," the institute's chairman Renaud Muselier told AFP.
The organizers managed to attract some 70 modern and contemporary Arab artists to the project, which they feared might have failed to gather enough artwork. The 200 works feature the nude body, eroticism and even forbidden homosexuality through painting, photography, sculpture, video art and other mediums.
"We didn't expect to find an iconography so rich and diverse and we were surprised that so many Arab artists address this question," the show's co-curator Philippe Cardinal told AFP.
Many of the artists were born in Arab countries, but now have moved to the West to work.

Caught in a maelstrom
It was to be expected that the prolonged domination over another nation would cause moral damage to the occupying Israeli. And did we mention Yeshayahu Leibowitz? What was less to be expected was that the entire country would be caught up in the maelstrom. Would become disabled. Would sell out.
It was to be expected that the prolonged domination over another nation would cause moral damage to the occupying Israeli. And did we mention Yeshayahu Leibowitz? What was less to be expected was that the entire country would be caught up in the maelstrom. Would become disabled. Would sell out. It's no longer only the large number of shocking instances of hard-heartedness in the territories; it's a state of mind in which the criteria are becoming distorted, from the top echelons down to the grass roots.
We can begin with a minor example: The case of Major General (res.) Amos Gilad. The head of the political-security branch in the Defense Ministry is claiming a 65 percent physical and emotional disability. There are efforts at compromise on his issue, too; the State Prosecutor's Office has agreed to 50 percent. Thus, Gilad has become an embarrassing symbol of a country that is spinning out of control. He attributes the damage to his body and his soul to the days when he was involved in controversies over the Lebanon War and to the "fateful decisions" he has been forced to make under pressure since then.
Gilad, shamelessly, wants upgraded disability and money. When did the physical and mental disability of the exhausted officer begin? When he was head of a research division in Military Intelligence? When he was the coordinator of government activities in the territories? When he dizzyingly made his way up to the throne of the "national explainer" during the first war in Iraq?
Should one laugh or cry? Why did Gilad continue to fill these sensitive positions while his body and soul were being crushed into severe disability? Why didn't he warn us in time that we were dependent on hands and a mind that were disabled? The Gilad case is about the fact that the criteria in this country have been undermined to such a degree that during all those years, neither his superiors nor he himself, of course, suggested he quit for a less pressured job in the civilian sector. Because anything goes today, even a general whose medical file - which he prepared himself - perhaps should have long since received the label used by the Israel Defense Forces: "permanently disabled."
And Gilad's case still can't be compared to more serious ones, such as the "freaking out" of Border Policemen who are now standing trial for Iraqi-style abuse of Palestinian youths. Their case is quite rare. Usually, such acts are buried somewhere between their direct commanders and the chatter of the IDF spokesman, the chief of staff and the defense minister, who utter nonsense about exceptional cases. That's why several dozen combat soldiers in the Nahal Brigade decided they would "break the silence," which is the name of an exhibit of photographs and testimonies they opened this week upon their release from prolonged service in the West Bank, primarily in Hebron.
"I had a friend," said one of them, "who used to like to shoot [tear] gas. For no reason, when he saw a group of guys standing and talking in the street. He liked to see them suddenly running and coughing. He found it very funny." An entirely different friend said at the exhibition, "I don't want you to run away from what I do."
It's no longer simply escapism. The issue has become a presumably unavoidable part of the daily menu of a nation that is becoming twisted. Some 64 soldiers and officers in a reserve paratroop unit, who recently concluded service in the Gaza Strip settlement Netzarim, added - in the wake of their predecessors, and the imprisoned refuseniks - a reminder that dissipates too quickly here. They wrote this week to the prime minister that they have no desire to commit suicide because of 60 families in Netzarim.
But the entire farce of the disengagement plan fits in well with the systemic breakdown in Israel. Let's see if Sharon carries it out. Meanwhile, it is entwined in hands and minds like those of Amos Gilad: extreme right activists, who if they are not dismissed today by the prime minister, it's only because he, who in the past was willing to sacrifice his life in battle, is today protecting his backside from any scratch, "covering his ass," as some of the Nahal soldiers testified about themselves.
And while this storm of evil was still wailing above our heads - in the words of a song sung by Israeli youth movements eons ago - what were the rabbis mourning over this week? About the proposal by former chief rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron to allow civil marriages. Not one of them broke the profound silence of the guardians of Jewish morality over what is happening to this morality - between the Land of the Philistines (Gaza) and Hebron, City of the Patriarchs, in a country that is increasingly spinning out of control.

Raincoat is here!!
View Single Post
Snow commuter
Joined: Feb 2009
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Oddometer: 1
New member here, themenz suggested I should join and share my results.
I'm commuting in swedish winter weather, which means rain and snow in temperatures around -10°C to +5°C (15-40°F). Keeping the visor clean in such conditions is not easy. I have tried many other methods such as "don't wipe, ever", glove-mounted squeegees, stop-and-clean routines and was on the brink of trying tear-offs when I found Raincoat on the web and bought a few packs to test.
Raincoat does indeed work just as claimed on rain and road spray. Anything wet just rolls off. Thin spray tends to get stuck in the middle of the visor, but turning your head to the side blows it right off.
Unfortunately it does not work quite as well on snow. If the snow is cold and dry it just bounces off, but if the snow flakes are big and wet they stick to the visor and won't be blown off even by a head turn. It's pretty much like an untreated visor: You have to wipe it off manually. However when you wipe if off, the residual water left on the visor quickly beads up and rolls off leaving it clean and clear again. So even if Raincoat doesn't "cure" wet snow completely, it still gives me an advantage.
Overall, I'm very happy I found it. Raincoat on the outside and Pinlock on the inside is a great combination.

After missing a couple of starts, Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez has been put on the 15-day disabled list. Catcher Alex Avila was also put on the DL after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning of their match-up against the Minnesota Twins. Avila is hitting .172 with 5 homers and 13 RBIs.
Sanchez, who is 6-5 with a 2.76 ERA, has a strained right shoulder. Which, consequently, forced him to miss a start earlier this month.
The Tigers are expected to recall left-hander Jose Alvarez from Toledo before their Thursday match-up against the Boston Red Sox. Also, Avisail Garcia and Bryan Holaday were recalled from Toledo to take their roster spots.

Rambabu (Venkatesh) is a typical George Bailey from the truth evoking drama It's a Wonderful Life. He is a do-gooder, respects everybody, and receives the same in equal amount. When his seemingly middle class mindset is affected by an unexpected event, he gets ideas that have been acquired through the movie-watching ritual.
Venkatesh and Meena along with Kritika and Esther are a happy family. Their aspirations are normal for a family bound by budgets. All they want is to have a good meal, some shopping, possibly a movie in a theatre once in a while. A murder (unintentional) which is supposed to put their happiness upside down reveals the nature of humanity. This is where the original screenplay by Jeethu Joseph gets its luck.
Meena gets to do her Malayalam act in Telugu; while she does her job aptly, the pairing of Meena and Venkatesh is quite a deterrent. If Venkatesh chooses his scripts wisely henceforth, he will have a longer innings. Drushyam is the perfect cup for his tea. His muscular frame and a quick thinking pair of eyes are a warning to anybody who gets close to his family whose purpose is to harm. Kritika plays the elder daughter of the couple. Her expressions, especially in the scene where she strikes the perpetrator with a bat, is noteworthy. She will be getting a lot of calls this weekend. She may start her next film this month hopefully. Esther, the younger daughter is not shaky when with senior actors. Ravi Kale as the constable who is determined to bring Venkatesh to his knees is good enough.
For a thriller, music has to push the narrative forward, but Sharreth's work falls in the category of mediocrity. Had he upped his scope, the visuals would have had higher intensity. Some of the locations in the film look like they are made for Telugu film song shoots. The greens, the water, the small alleys – they add to the overall impact.
"Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole." That's right! It's a Wonderful Life may have taught Rambabu a lesson… Rambabu has touched so many lives in his compressed town, when he is in trouble, he is helped by all those lives. "No man is a failure who has friends." Rambabu continues to have a town of friends who love him for what he does.
Drushyam after two successful remakes is one of those rare universal films. An appealing subject, a believable plot, a delightful result.

btw, some time earlier, when 2.8 or 2.8.5 was the actual version, wrote him something about that version (not finger-friendly ui, i suppose) - the answer was that project is almost stopped...
(don't remember exactly why i'm not satisfied with 3.0 - is it because of the same problem or different one...)
i guess 2.8.5 should be returned to at least russian version...
1. looks like you always have your own big brother nearby?
2. why don't you say "let's completely remove ppcpimbackup from firmware as it's unnecessary"?
as for me - i don't want to be so categorical
but now, while 3.2 contains such a critical bug, having it in firmware (at least in russian version) is just a waste of space, and i have to have 2.8.5 on my sd card...
btw, can you test 3.2 custom files/dirs restore with symbols of your locale in names?
Hi my dear Artemis family,

Kids aren't paying attention most of the time in science classes so it seems silly to get worked up over ID being taught in schools.
i don't know what to do with someone that is so blind and refuses to accept anything else...
Misconceptions exist on both sides. I didn't really read the OP but, while being a Christian myself, I understand that many Christians do indeed reject certain aspects of science because they believe they contradict the Bible.However, the reason for this isn't really their own ignorance as much as it is the vagueness of the science revolving around evolution. Many people (on both sides) believe in many different kinds of science that conflict with ID that actually don't.The only aspect of evolution that conflicts with the Bible is the macro-evolution aspect of it; the 'speciation' that apparently happens. Virtually all other aspects of it are scientifically sound and don't contradict creationism. But it is the misinterpretations and misrepresentation of information that causes confusion on both sides.
[snip]... look at how perfect we are! our blood, heart, limb, etc... everything fits together so perfectly...[snip]
irreligion is going as religion and nonsense is going as science.
I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.
I may believe people, as a whole, should be treated fairly but I also believe those same people are idiots.

Film review: The Quiet Ones
STRAP in for a shockingly good horror filled with twists and turns and enough jumpy sequences to ensure the audience will be satisfied throughout.

News, sport and entertainment from South lakeland, the Dales and North Lancashire
STRAP in for a shockingly good horror filled with twists and turns and enough jumpy sequences to ensure the audience will be satisfied throughout.
There was once a time when period dramas were glossy, often joyous affairs.
THE coolest furniture on TV has revolved for the final time, the teams have been sorted, the battle lines are drawn and — let's face it — The Voice goes downhill from now on.
TIME to delve into the world of 'guilty pleasures' again — most of my viewing seems to fall into this category these days.
THE collective hearts of WI members around the country must be all a-flutter with the latest foodie fantasy on the Beeb.
IF you're a fan of the nation's favourite two Geordie lads then you'll be pleased to see that their 10th series of Saturday night telly is back.
COMIC Relief has done a great job in helping thousands of youngsters around the world.
Follow the action live as the stars attend tonight's Bafta presentation
THE true stars of TV have been out in force this week — and not one of them has said a word.
WHERE do you start with the unmitigated TV disaster that was Splash on Saturday night?
IT sounds as though someone is passing comment on that most modern phenomenon but in actual fact Pointless Celebrities is one of the unexpected highlights of the week.
IF the number of comments in the office are a way of measuring the impact of a programme on the viewing public then it would seem that you can forget X Factor or I'm A Celebrity.
As we reach the half way point to this years competition and none of our couples wanting to leave before next weeks Wembley Arena show, it is now time to sort the wheat from the chaff, there were some truly brilliant performances but it looks like the judges are saving their tens for next week!
CONTINUING my foray into the outer reaches of TV land, I've discovered another little gem for those who appreciate weirdly wonderful viewing.
IN recent weeks, Tuesdays have become girly telly night for me.
IT'S funny how there are programmes which on paper appear to have no real purpose and yet, when you catch a few minutes of them, you can't turn them off.
I TRIED, really I did, to find something other than the Olympics around which to base my weekly TV ramblings. But let's face it, unless you are a diehard Corrie fan, what else has there been to watch?
AS some fairly disastrous documentaries have shown in the past, taking comedians away from their natural habitat and trying to make them TV presenters is not necessarily a good idea.
IT'S not been a great week for TV viewers who have an aversion to the national game.
MOST of the time Telegraph Towers is a hive of activity and it usually takes something special to bring proceedings to a halt.
JUST when you thought Scandinavian drama couldn't get any better, along comes The Bridge.
WINNING an international Emmy award for making a documentary wasn't on the 'to do' list for one East Lancashire producer and director.
AND so one of the great annual highlights on the TV calendar has been and gone.
I'D thought I was doing well, but three weeks in my resolve failed and I fell into the trap of watching The Apprentice.
COME on, admit it... Who's counting down the minutes and seconds until 9pm on Monday when the severely frayed ends of ITV's fantastic murder mystery drama Broadchurch will – hopefully – be drawn together?
JUST because a drama looks spectacular, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be enthralling viewing.
WE have all heard tales of people shouting at the TV set in protest about something they have seen — I must say I've been tempted a few times.
IT'S all the fault of the Christmas Day special. The better half has developed a liking for Call The Midwife.
JO Brand you are almost forgiven for ever agreeing to be a judge on Splash.
THINGS are getting serious on Strictly as we approach the grand final tomorrow.
HOW the other half lives! There was a certain irony that in the week the Chancellor made his autumn statement, which saw the term 'austerity' flying around like confetti at a wedding, BBC2 should begin its compelling new fly-on-the wall documentary Inside Claridge's.
IT'S not been the greatest week for the BBC. But, among all the outrage, it's worth remembering that a lot of the corporation's output is still pretty fine.
THERE are certain areas of the Beeb's output which seem impervious to criticism.
ON paper the idea looks barmy — the BBC running a 10-year-old Italian detective series complete with subtitles in the slot formerly reserved for those highly successful, dark Scandinavian dramas like The Killing, The Bridge and Borgen.
IT'S off to the outer reaches of BBC4 again this week I'm afraid for a series which shouldn't work but does.
ONE of the great things about the digital TV revolution — apart from never having to watch a single advert again — has to be the whole new world of guilty pleasures that open up to the adventurous viewer.
AND so we've gone from the sublime to the ridiculous in a matter of days.
AND so it has begun: The greatest show on earth is filling our screens turning us all into experts on the finer points of a double twisting dismount or the advantages of the penholder grip.
WELL you can't accuse the Beeb of under-selling Tuesday's Great British Menu in their trailers.
THE Beeb promised that their new Saturday night prime time show The Voice would be a celebration of genuine talent — and boy have they lived up to that.
I'M getting a sinking feeling. Something cold is leaving me empty, and I'm really rather disappointed.

Why Do You Hate This? Skyler White
A character must be absolutely terrible if they're the most hated character on a show where meth is being made, destroying lives is overlooked (along with murdering innocent people), and everyone manipulates everyone else. Skyler White falls into the "Most Hated Character on a Show" category, but for absolutely no reason other than "She doesn't like the murdering, manipulating, and meth cooking husband!" She's not even sided with or understood, she's completely hated.
Granted, Breaking Bad doesn't have many characters that abide the law and are morally sound (Holly is probably the only character who hasn't done anything wrong yet, but she's just an infant), so for Skyler to get more hate than anyone who is legitimately killing other people and not caring much about it is just flabbergasting. It's understandable that the audience just wants to side with Walter White, her husband, because he is the main character after all and that's just what audiences are used to. Nobody rooted for Darth Vader against Luke Skywalker and nobody rooted for Voldemort against Harry Potter, and that's what makes Breaking Bad so different today. It goes against that formulaic storytelling.
Now the show certainly isn't the first to have an anti-hero as a main character, and Skyler isn't the first wife to get unfathomable hate for going against their actually-horrible-husbands. Carmela Soprano was hated exponentially for disagreeing with her mob boss husband Tony Soprano, and that's the closest comparison one can make for Skyler vs. Walter. Walter has actually killed people, he's poisoned an innocent child, he's made bombs to go off in a nursing home, he's ordered his partner Jesse to kill an innocent man, he illegally makes meth that destroys thousands of lives, creates an abusive relationship with Skyler, and he even blames himself for two planes colliding mid-air. Yet his wife Skyler is hated because of what? She gave him veggie bacon on his 50th birthday and doesn't like being lied to about Walter's illegal activity?
"That's not all she's done," said the hateful fans "She cheated on Walter! What a BITCH." Well, no, she didn't cheat on him. They were separated at the time so that argument is invalid. But if, for some reason, the audience doesn't agree with that fact then how about agreeing on disliking Walter for manipulating Jesse, the most loved character on the show?
For an audience that hates Skyler so much and loves Jesse so much, it doesn't make sense considering that Walter has put Jesse through so much Hell and poor Jesse doesn't even see it. Whenever he gets close to viewing the real Walter White, he's lied to again. With that in mind, wouldn't the Jesse-lovers enjoy Skyler's standing up against her husband because of the shit he's done to Jesse? Wouldn't that actually make some sense to side with someone who has a point?
Skyler White is the audience surrogate, quite honestly. She asks questions the audience is asking and is the voice of logic. All she's doing is trying to protect her family from the danger (pun-intended) that Walter has put them in. She can't go to the police or talk to anyone about her situation. She's trapped.
This article could have gone into a sexism talk, or about how the audience is watching Breaking Bad for the crime show, not the family show, but Breaking Bad speaks for itself so the facts are all laid out. There's nothing that Skyler is doing that is unwarranted and not understandable. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with liking Walter as a character, but one most keep in mind that he's a sociopath and is not coming back. Since season three, the situation has changed drastically and so has Walter. Skyler doesn't recognize the man she married anymore, and it's only going to get worse from here on out.
JustTV wrote a very detailed, very well written article on Skyler's Story overall. I would recommend a read.
