Hong Kong, which returned to China in 1997, is bracing for a wave of protests after Beijing on Sunday ruled out fully democratic elections for the city's leader in 2017, sparking a political showdown with democrats.
First Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, 77, who was handpicked by China, said: "Hong Kong is our home, we have to work together. The only way out, and the only way forward, is through working together, hand in hand, otherwise there will be no end to bitter squabbles and the paralysis."
A half-million strong anti-government rally forced the former shipping magnate Tung to step down in 2005, nearly two years before completing his second five-year term. He had faced criticism over plans for an anti-subversion bill amid widespread calls for greater democracy.
Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong who was in tears during the 1997 handover ceremony, said Britain had a moral and political obligation to ensure China respects its commitments.
He said: "We have a huge stake in the wellbeing of Hong Kong, with a political system in balance with its economic freedom."

Grey's Anatomy Season 9: Callie Torres's Best Moments
Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) has had one tough season this year on Grey's Anatomy. Not only did she lose her best friend (and the father of her baby, Sofia), Mark, in the plane crash, but her wife lost her leg, too, which took a pretty serious toll on Callie — and her love life. At least creator Shonda Rhimes has promised to be good to Callie in the Season 9 finale!
We hope better days are ahead for her. Here are our favorite Callie moments from this season:
Callie is recognized in the hospital. We loved the scene when Callie and Richard went rogue on their road trip to another Pegasus hospital to find out how they ran things. But were extra impressed when one of the doctors recognized Callie for all her work as an orthopedic surgeon. We totally think she deserved the credit.
Callie's TED talk. TED conferences are a pretty big deal, so the fact that Callie was invited to speak was a pretty big deal, too. And even though she missed the actual conference, we loved the way Richard and Arizona arranged for her to speak via webcam — especially since it made her speech even better.
Callie's patience with Arizona. Even though she wasn't in the plane crash herself, it still totally shook up Callie's world. Not only did Callie have to mourn the loss of Mark, but she also had to help Arizona adjust to life without her leg – a task made even more difficult by the fact that Arizona did not want her help. But even when Arizona was hard to deal with (and sometimes downright mean) Callie stuck by her no matter what.
Callie bonds with her aspiring journalist patient. When Callie's teenage patient showed up in the ER missing fingers after a family game of tug of war gone wrong, she begged and pleaded to keep her fingers — if she lost them, she would lose her future journalism career, too. Thankfully, Callie was able to save her hand, and the story had a bonus happy ending when Callie brought the press release about the CDC visit to her patient so she could get the scoop on it early.
Callie tries to help Bailey after the investigation. After the CDC questioned Bailey, it really threw her off her game, even after they determined the Staph infection outbreak wasn't her fault. Bailey spent her days afterward holed up in a lab, refusing to speak to anyone. And when everyone else believed Bailey was a lost cause, Callie didn't give up. Even though ultimately it was Ben who got Bailey to talk, we think it was so sweet of her to try so hard to help her.
What were your favorite Callie moments this season? Share in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, May 9, 2013, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Liquor Control Board issues medical marijuana recommendations to Legislature
Board tasked by state budget to provide recommendations on eight issue areas
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Liquor Control Board (Board) today issued its recommendations to the Legislature regarding the regulation of medical marijuana. A proviso of the state operating budget directed the Liquor Control Board to work with the departments of Revenue and Health to develop recommendations regarding the interaction of medical marijuana regulations and the emerging recreational marijuana system.
Staff from the three agencies prepared draft recommendations for the Board in eight categories that included possession amounts, medical marijuana authorizing requirements, taxation and other topics. Staff provided its draft recommendations to the Board on October 21, 2013. The Board reviewed written public input as well as held a special public meeting on Nov. 13, 2013.
The Board accepted many of the staff recommendations with one major exception regarding the recommended prohibition on home growing of medical marijuana. The Board is recommending allowing authorized medical marijuana patients up to six plants for personal use.
Board Statement
The Liquor Control Board made the following statement regarding its recommendations.
We wish to thank the staff from the Liquor Control Board, the Department of Revenue and the Department of Health for their thorough work on this issue. This is a challenging issue considering the emotional and political concerns that surround the medical use of marijuana.
The Liquor Control Board has largely accepted staff's recommendations with one major exception. We are recommending that authorized medical marijuana patients be allowed to grow up to six plants for personal use. This decision is based on multiple conversations with the medical community, medical marijuana dispensary owners, medical professionals and others. Opinions are diverse. Ultimately, if a medical professional believes an authorized patient may benefit from the medical use of marijuana, we recommend that that individual may grow a limited number of plants at home for personal use.
These recommendations fulfill the requirement in the budget proviso found in Section 141 that requires the Liquor Control Board to make recommendations regarding the interaction of medical marijuana regulations and the emerging recreational marijuana system by January 1, 2014. The process now moves to the Legislature for consideration during the 2014 legislative session.

In the late 1990s, the owners of a Chicago restaurant called Taza noticed that, although it was a rotisserie-chicken concept, the chicken was being outsold. In fact, its salads were the bestselling menu item. So in February of 2000, the owners opened a spin-off chain to focus on entrée salads, and Salad Spinners was born.
"I think probably the one concept that's really responsible for the modern salad entrée would have to be the Cheesecake Factory," says Rich Levy, president and CEO of Salad Spinners. "They made it OK for someone to pay $12 for a salad back in the early- to mid-1990s."
Today, Salad Spinners is still going strong, and Levy estimates that about 50 percent of its customers order an entrée salad topped with poultry—even though none of them come with it automatically.
"Poultry is to salads what jelly is to the peanut butter sandwich," he says. "It's an important component of any salad concept, whether grilled, roasted, pulled, or smoked. You can do so much with chicken. It's like your utility player on a sports team."
As consumers continue to place an emphasis on convenience and nutrition, now more than ever is the time to innovate on the entrée salad front. Luckily, poultry creates ample opportunities to do so.
Bold Flavors
Poultry has been and remains the No. 1 protein ingredient in salads, followed by meat and seafood, according to global consumer, product, and market research firm Mintel.
"Poultry's always going to be popular, and in addition, chicken is the most popular poultry ingredient," says Maria Caranfa, director of Mintel Menu Insights. "Adding chicken to a salad really makes it more of an entrée salad and more of a meal rather than a side salad or something extra."
Trends in salads have explored barbecue-flavored chicken, smoked chicken, and buffalo chicken, but new flavors are creeping into the mix, as well.
John Scardapane, CEO of Saladworks, a Pennsylvania-based chain with more than 100 locations, says four of its most popular salads come with chicken—the Chicken Caesar, Fire Roasted Cabo Jack, Buffalo Blue, and Mandarin Chicken.
"Chicken pairs well with a lot of different fruits, and fruits are becoming more popular in salads," Caranfa says.
Operators can add different melons and berries to a salad featuring chicken, or they can opt to give the chicken a fruit flavor. Citrus is especially popular, Caranfa says—lemon, lime, and orange glazes have all popped up on menus.
She points to Wendy's as an industry giant that offers a wide variety of salads; the chain even offers a Mandarin Chicken Salad with Grilled Chicken Breast.
Salad Spinners, too, incorporated a fruit-inspired salad onto its menu when it made the switch from plain grilled chicken to citrus grilled chicken recently. Now it's the only chicken option that the restaurant serves its customers, and CEO Levy says the brand's customers have appreciated the change.
"They feel it's a little bit fancier than a regular chicken on a grill," he says.
But fruit isn't the only option for unusual seasonings.
"Experiment with flavors of the poultry," Caranfa says. "Find different flavors that go well with the base salad. If it's a southwestern salad, try spicy chicken. If it's a Caesar-y salad, maybe try a parmesan chicken. Flavor there can drive innovation."
Levy suggests looking outside your own restaurant and to larger trends in the industry for ideas.
"Having the right amount of variety and having really the most popular flavors and the most up-and-coming flavors is going to be important," Caranfa says.

29 year old woman | Round Rock, TX, USA | Seeking men 24-35 within 50 miles
In search of my New Year's kiss
I am here for a relationship. If you are looking for friends with benefits, a one night stand or aren't really sure you want a relationship, please don't waste my time, or yours. I'm looking for a man who has his s..t together. I'm sorry if that comes off as harsh but I know what I'm looking for. My name is Jessica. I moved to Texas from Wisconsin almost 8 years ago. I love football and I am a diehard GreenBay Packers fan. I can be convinced to go to pretty much any sporting event. I love laughing as much as possible. I know when to be silly and when to take things seriously and I hate drama. I am independent and will always tell you exactly what's on my mind. I am a very giving, affectionate and passionate person who enjoys making people smile. I work very hard, I have a fulltime job for a hospital and I own my own business. I do enjoy taking advantage of my free time and having fun. I love doing anything outdoors or sports related. I do crossfit and absolutely love it. Fitness is a big priority in my life so it's a big bonus if you make it a priority too. I would like a man who is reasonably healthy and knows how to take care of his body. You also get brownie points if you could teach me how to two-step. I have 3 rescued dogs. I enjoy trying new things especially things that will get my adrenaline pumping. But as much as I love being active and outdoors...cuddling up on the couch with a good movie can always make for a good time too.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs, Horses
I have 3 dogs, Jerzee, Royce and Luke and 2 horses, Flannigan and Gunner
I love Barton Springs, taking my dogs to Auditorium Shores, Icenhauers, 96 bar
Lake Erie College, Painesville, OH
My favorite food would have to Chinese or Italian. My favorite TV show would probably be Criminal Minds or Greys Anatomy. If you want to know something else, just ask
I love any outdoor activity. Wakeboarding, four-wheeling, canoeing, hiking, camping. Never against a good movie on the couch every once in a while either. Anything crossfit.
Assholes Finish First by Tucker Max...I love him!

Description: This is a very simple but extremely handy, 1" round, double sided perf board. Standard 0.1" spacing with a 4-40 (3mm) hole for mounting.
Package of 2
Would an ATtiny84 fit on this sucker?
14 pin DIP package? yep. Count the pads ;)
are the holes plated thru
How does it work ? Are the holes somehow linked like in a breadboard, or should I link them with wires on the other side ?
you solder everything together, so you make all the connections.
I'm a noob… what does double-sided mean, as opposed to single sided?
You can place and solder components on both sides instead of just one.
No reviews yet.

The Tech You Need to Bring Soccer Excitement Home
These apps and accessories will help you live all the soccer action at home—even if it's far away.
Watch all the soccer action at home, and make sure you've scored the tech you need to see every goal.
Celebrate everything soccer
If you're watching the big soccer games at home, make sure you have a tablet nearby. You don't want to run to the kitchen for a snack and hear "GOOOOOOALLLLL!!!" in the living room. Stream live games on your tablet so you won't miss the next big header or dramatic ending—even when you have to take the dog out or check on the kids in the next room. Check out the Sony Xperia® Z2 Tablet and its 10.1 Full HD TRILUMINOS™display with Sony BRAVIA® mobile TV technologies.
Don't forget about the music. Blast your favorite tunes through a Bluetooth® speaker, such as the MINI JAMBOX® by Jawbone®. Connect wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth-enabled device to easily switch songs —without getting up from your front-row seat in your living room.
Get a kick out of these apps
One of the best ways to bring the action home is with apps. These are great for any soccer fan:
- Get more in-depth information on teams and players, including player profiles, press conference videos, match highlights and minute-by-minute commentary on the Onefootball app.
- Complete with expert commentary and exclusive interviews, the Goal.com app offers personalization options so you get the news and updates you care about most.
- Team Stream™ is a great app for all sports. It'll come in handy during tournaments for team news and scores, with the ability to customize notifications and alerts so you don't miss a single goal.
- Sure, your soccer skills may not be on par with the stars of the tournament, but that doesn't mean you can't play too. Practice your moves and score your own goals with the Soccer Kicks (Football) app.
The action may far away, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the excitement. Enjoy the soccer games from the comfort of home with the latest tech.

Ubuntu 8.04 – New Version with Long Term Support
April next year will see the release of Ubuntu 8.04, the next distribution with long term support for professional use.
Community Manager Jono Bacon announced the new LTS version, which has been dubbed Hardy Heron in the Ubuntu tradition of using animal names.
As announced by Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical – the company behind Ubuntu – will be supporting Hardy Heron for 3 years, and the server version for 5 years. The current long term support version is "Dapper Drake" (Ubuntu 6.06).
There are not tangible facts available about what "Hardy Heron" will include right now. Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" is still alpha (Tribe 5). An overview of current 7.10 development is available on this page. Developers will be defining the objectives for the next release Ubuntu Developer Summit – just like last year. The summit is scheduled to take place October 27 through November 02 in Boston.

How Do You Draw From Your Imagination?
I'm not sure if this question has been asked already, but I made a search and couldn't find it.
How do you develop your skills to draw from your imagination, rather than from life? I guesss you need to draw a lot from life before you can be any decent at drawing from imagination, but is it as simple as that? I've tried drawing from my imagination, but failed miserably. And this just makes me more and more discouraged to draw cause it seems like an almost impossible feat. Are there any specific things that can be done to increase one's ability to draw from their imagination?

In general I think you need to practice a few things, namely:
-The basic forms
If you learn how to draw and render the basic forms, how to light them, how they interract with each other, you've probably all you really need. Combined with an understanding of perspective and you can place any of those forms anywhere in space. Reduce what you want to draw to basic forms and half your work is done. That gun is an elongated box, that leg is a cylinder, that spaceship is an egg, etc...
For the figure, I think you need a solid grasp of anatomy. Understanding that you can think of the leg as a cylinder is important, but you won't know to think of the knee as a box when viewed from position X without knowing how the knee is constructed and how it reacts when placed in certain positions.
At least...that's my idea of what you need to know. Maybe someone who's actually halfway decent at drawing from imagination will chime in too.

I also think surrounding yourself with lots of reference materials. But never stop drawing from life.

drawing from life effectivly consists of taking an existing object or objects and changing them in some way, preferably towards the more extreme, taking various elements of an object and fusing them together works to, along with creating a story and function for whatever your doing. For instance if your desining a creature, how does it eat breath sleep chew fart sneeze etc.that helps

If you can draw a skeleton in a pose, and if you can muscle up that skeleton with some specificity and accuracy, you've gone a long way toward drawing any figure from the imagination.
You asked for "specific" suggestions on learning to draw from imagination. Here's mine:
Get Eliot Goldfinger's anatomy book
Get Poser (eep!) but use it in skeleton mode.

Most people have already said what i'm thining,
but i'll put in my 2-bits anyways...
Every thing you draw from you mind originaly comes from somewhere,
something you have see before,
Real life drawing is the key to drawing stuff from your mind.
For a while I would only draw stuff from my mind and after a while my pictures seemed to go out of perportion,
or maybe I was just noticing their flaws more and more,
So i realised, with a bit of help from another artist,
that I needed to practice more stuff from life.
I've been doing that lately
and it seems to be helping

Readings for the first Friday of Advent:
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. (Isaiah 29:17-24, KJV)
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. (Matthew 9:27-31, KJV)

As Brandon Spikes already phrased more eloquently than we ever could, the replacement officials were as bad as they have been all year during Sunday night's game between the Patriots and Ravens. Their performance resulted in 70,000-plus fans reaching their boiling point toward the end of the game when John Harbaugh received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Harbaugh claims he was trying to call timeout which may not be true, but how often do we see coaches getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during such a crucial moment in the game?
On one hand, the terrible calls are an outrage. On the other, we can't be too upset about it because it lead to one of the most audible "bullsh**" chants you will ever hear from a stadium full of fans. We've seen fans taunt opposing players and they can certainly get vulgar at times, but I'm pretty confident the women and children were in on this one. That's how bad this replacement ref situation has gotten.
Still, I don't think the Baltimore fans were quite as angry as Bill Belichick.

Even though Jeremih hasn't been as much in the mainstream since 'Birthday Sex' was released back in 2009, he has almost averaged a release per year.
This year though, we finally received the much anticipated Late Nights mixtape. After waiting for what feels like an eternity (but what was certainly months) Late Nights was released yesterday. And it lives up to all the hype.
It's a little dark and nasty at times, but all up it's just a really great R&B mixtape with plenty of hip hop and pop vibes. It also features a bunch of impressive guest artists including Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Fabolous, Twista and production from Mike Will.
Beware it might start making things a little steamy.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/24/12
When I look at the current Mets' 40-man roster there are few players where it would take a lot to pry away from the team. Matt Harvey is one of them, in fact, there's a thought of re-doing his contract as to buy out his arbitration years. I keep Harvey, of course. And, prospect Zack Wheeler. NIESE: An untouchable Met? Also on the list is Jonathan Niese, who signed a long-term deal that will carry him through 2016, with option years for 2017 and 2018, going as high as $11 million in the last year. A hard-throwing lefthander with a positive history and contract controllable for four more years is a bargain. Considering Niese's production, contract and being a lefty, it's small wonder he is the name most often brought up when Mets GM Sandy Alderson is contacted. That's also the reason the Mets would be foolish to part with him. As Niese continues to develop, and dare I say it, approach 20 wins and becomes an All-Star, I can see the Mets picking up those options and extend...

In The Practicing Photographer, photographer and teacher Ben Long shares a weekly serving of photographic instruction and inspiration. Each installment focuses on a photographic shooting scenario, a piece of gear, or a software technique. Each installment concludes with a call to action designed to inspire you to pick up your camera (or your mouse or smartphone) to try the technique for yourself.
A friend got this cool peel-apart Polaroid as a birthday gift, so we've been playing with it. So, I've ended up with all of these black and white prints. And because it's a peel, because it's a very old camera the, the prints are pretty grungy. So I've got what looks like a nice antique photo, but there's a whole other realm of antique that I can go, which is the hand colored look that people used to do before colored prints. People would take black and white photos and, using a very particular type of tint, they would actually just paint color onto images.
What was cool about doing that was that you didn't actually have to know how to paint. It was really like a coloring book. All you had to do was get color into the right place and the tonality that was already there would do the rest for you because the tints weren't opaque. The tonality in the image could show through the tint and so you'd end up with these very soft pastelie-like hand colored images. I am going to do that here. It is a really easy thing to do in Photoshop as long as you have any version of Photoshop that supports layers, and you have one older than that, it wouldn't run on any new operating system anyway.
So, I've got my, my image here that I've scanned. What I'm going to do is add a layer on top of it, not an adjustment layer, an actual image layer. I want an empty one. And I'm just going to paint color into this. I'm going to start with Josh's sweater here. I'm just going to pick a color of some kind. I'll go with a blue of some kind. And I've got a paintbrush and as with any of the brushes in Photoshop, I can change the size of the brush with the left and right bracket keys, I just need to get some paint on here. Now, as you can see, I am not getting anything that looks remotely like a realistic hand tinting look here.
I'm getting just blue paint spilled on top of a black and white image. I'm not done yet. So if I, with this layer selected, go to the blending mode menu. The pop menu over here. This lets me change how pixels in one layer interact with pixels in the layers below them. So I've got blue pixels up here, and these black and white pixels down here. I want them to merge. And there are a lot of different ways I can do that. To get this hand-tinted look, what I want to do is multiply them. That's going to result in a darker pixel, so I picked a kind of light blue, aiming for a navy.
This still doesn't look quite right. The blue is too strong. It's overpowering the underlying layer. I'm just going to lower my opacity to about there, and now I'm getting still the original tonality Of the black and white image, but with some blue layered on top of it. This is exactly how hand tinting worked in the old days except I don't get messy paints all over my fingers, and now I can just sit here and paint over his sweater. And it, it really does feel like I know what I'm doing even though I'm not painting any highlight or shadow or anything.
I'm just getting all of that for free. And now I just work through the rest of the image, picking colors and painting them into the appropriate place. I don't need to do any other adjustments, this level of blending is going to work for all of the other colors in my image. You do have to be careful, I can't be too sloppy I, I need to stay within the lines. I need to be careful. It's, it's critical in eyes that you not paint over the whites in the eyes. They need to remain white. If you do paint over them, you need to grab an eraser tool and go back and put the white back in or take the color out, depending on whether you're a glass half-full or half-empty kind of person.
One thing to take note of, if I, I've chose a flesh tone color here that I think is working pretty well. And so I might go and paint his skin and then say okay next I'm going to paint his shirt. If I need to go back and get that skin color though I've got a problem cause I cannot just eye dropper this color that I've painted on. In other words let's say I then go and work on his shirt. We'll get in the let me give him a pink shirt It's not really his color, but I'm going to try it anyway. Now let's say I want to go back and touch up that skin tone.
If I grab my eye dropper tool and click I'm not actually getting the original skin tone color that I was painting with. I'm getting the color of that, of that flesh tone color mixed with the black and white texture that was beneath it. The only way I can get back to that exact skin tone color is to turn all of my blending off. So go from multiply back to normal, and from 35% opacity back to 100%. Now, I can sample that color and then set all of this stuff back and I will have the skin tone color that I'd found before.
What I might do then while I'm painting is to just sock these colors away up here in my swatches palette, with my skin tone color selected I can just click right there. And I might even give this a name, Josh skin tone, because I might choose a different skin tone for Jacob. And now I can go back later and get that up. So I can build up a little palette of colors. Now I just paint through my image, and I'm done. If I want, I can flatten the image later. But what's nice is because these are all in a discrete layer, I can turn them off and on. I can go back and edit them. I can easily erase them. I can alter them. I can change the pink shirt to a green shirt, whatever.
I know that I'm going to be okay. So this is a very nice way of getting a classical, hand-colored, antique look on images that you might have that already have an old analog look to them.

Notes & Reviews:
In February 1875 Max Bruch chanced upon an epic poem by the young Westphalian teacher J. Cuppers and wrote enthusiastically of it to his publisher Simrock: "The verses are magnificent, of dithyrambic swing; the melodies automatically spring forth everywhere from this beautiful rhythm." At the very same time that the Arminius Monument was dedicated in the Teutoburg Forest near Detmold, Max Bruch was sitting with friends in the Bergisches Land and composing his Arminius. Although the text of Bruch's Arminius can be understood only in the context of the foundation of the German Empire in 1871, its music continues to move us even today: a genuine masterpiece by this still undervalued Brahms contemporary!

WAVE Waterpark's future uncertain amid Vista budget concerns
"I really think the WAVE Waterpark is a great thing for the city," Gronke said. "Having said that, I think we've subsidized it way too long. … It's a great venue, it's just not paying for itself."
Mayor Judy Ritter and Councilman Frank Lopez doubted builders or buyers would be interested. Councilman Dave Cowles was absent.
The WAVE is run by four "very entrepreneurial" city employees, Johnson said, citing space and seasonal limitations along with the deal with the school district as some of the main reasons the park is not self-sustaining. For example, Johnson said, the park in recent years began selling its own concessions, rather than having an outside retailer do it. That move increased profit by about $100,000.
Even if Vista shuttered the water park, it would still have to service debt for the facility and pay $56,000 in administrative costs, $100,000 in information technology costs, $100,000 in Risk Management, $10,000 in utilities and $2,000 for security. Altogether, it would cost the city about $450,000 annually even if it were out of commission.
The city's general fund also covers a senior nutrition program, a shortfall in a lighting and landscaping district that doesn't recover enough in fees to pay for keeping streets lit and a cultural arts program. The City Council supported recommendations put forth by Johnson to cap the first two subsidies at $275,000 and the contribution to the cultural arts program budget at $200,000.
The city will also increase prices for the Fourth of July celebration at Brengle Terrace Park. Parking will be raised from $10 to $15, and admission to the Moonlight Amphitheatre, which had been free, will be $5.
The city will continue employee furloughs and 5 percent pay cuts, which are in place in the current budget year, for most employees other than public safety personnel and replace only three city vehicles instead of the 11 planned, among other ways of keeping costs low, Johnson said. The city has cut funding for more than 103 city jobs since the 2007-2008 budget year.
"Expenditures have been reduced in almost all departments throughout the city," Johnson said.
The city has also pushed ahead on work to build a detention basin as part of the Paseo Santa Fe project. The basin will help take properties along Santa Fe Avenue out of a flood plain, part of a plan to make the area more enticing to developers. The City Council set the project to spur revitalization of the run down area along Santa Fe Avenue as a top priority.
"The only way to get that area out of the flood plain is to build that detention basin," Johnson said. "It's vital to be able to resurrect that area."
The statewide elimination of redevelopment still threatens to pull money from the city's general fund, as city officials are unsure whether they'll be allowed to use money left over from the agency to continue redevelopment projects.
