Seems like it's been years that we've been hearing about some sort of 'Three Stooges' movie ... and that's because we have. Once upon a time, people like Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn were actually involved with the project, but let's get real for a second. Nobody ever expected to see Sean Penn playing a Stooge.
But now comes some intriguing word from The Wrap, and that word is this: Fox's "short list" for the flick -- which the studio recently took over from MGM, with Peter and Bobby Farrelly set to direct -- now includes Johnny Knoxville ('Jackass'), Andy Samberg ('Hot Rod') and an Australian comedian named Shane Jacobson, whom some may remember from the funny import called 'Kenny.' For those who are unfamiliar with the actors' appearances, or (gasp!) The Three Stooges, the tentative line-up would have Knoxville as Moe, Samberg as Larry and Jacobson as Curly.
Here's an interesting tidbit, though: "The plan is to divide the PG-rated film into three, 27-minute segments driven by physical comedy, with a start date of March 14." Sounds like an interesting plan the Farrelly brothers are cooking up.
More information on this one as it becomes available.

Live Better And Feel Great When Your Finances Are Under Control 605647
Personal finance is important to learn about, no matter how much (or how little) money you make. Wouldn't you like to hang on to a little more of that money? This article will give you a few pointers on handling your own money better. You do not have to get a raise to get more out of your money.
When in doubt about borrowing money-don't. Interest is extremely expensive, adding up to 20% or even more to your purchases, which is the same as making 20% less money! Wherever possible try to save up for a purchase on your own, and buy it later rather than taking out a loan to get it now. Keep up with your bills to have better personal finance. Many times people will pay part of a bill, and this gives the company the ability to tack on expensive late fees. By paying your bills on time, it can actually bring up your credit score, and put a few extra dollars in your pocket in the end. Spend your income smartly. Getting a tax return or a profit from your investments can be exciting, but you should have a plan to spend this money or to invest it again. Put a small sum aside to buy yourself a treat, but keep in mind that most of this money should be used for things you really need.
Taking care of your personal finances is a great way to stretch your money. Learning a little more about how to manage your money is never a waste a time. There is plenty of free information out there to teach you, too. If these tips have given you good ideas about how to handle your finances, keep reading and learn more.

Candids of Mischa out and about in Santa Monica have been added. I couldn't locate larger versions, so these will unfortunately have to do. Hopefully we'll get some shots of Mischa at Cannes next week.
As an aside, Apartment 1303 will be introduced at Cannes (I assume for investors?) but I doubt there will be any public event for the project at this early stage. The movie was supposed to begin production in April but, evidently, that did not go ahead.

Researchers at the National Association of Realtors reported last year that one out of 10 members surveyed in a monthly poll complained about low-ball offers on houses listed for sale. The latest survey taken among agents and brokers across the country showed that there were hardly any. The new focus has shifted to the declining inventory level of home listings that are available to sell which has resulted in multiple home-buying offers on well-priced listings.
An offer presented by a potential buyer that is 25 percent or more below list price is considered a low-ball offer. These offers increase when there is an abundance of properties available and the listed price is out of "norm" with local market.
With tight inventories and competition rising, low-ball offers are rejected or countered close to the asking price. Buyers looking for a steal are finding themselves empty handed while those with more realistic offers are being rewarded with ratified contracts.
For those selling a home in Northern Virginia, well-priced houses in good locations are moving fast, sometimes pulling in multiple offers within a few days of listing. AJ Team's listing agents are reporting that home sellers are telling them to not even consider the low-ball offers. The home-sellers feel confident that a better offer is on the way.
Looking to list or buy? Call AJ Team / Keller Williams Realty at 888-NOVA-BUY today!

Case Study | December 10, 2013
Continuous Fill SBR Tanks Help WWTP Exceed Effluent Requirements, Generate Additional RevenueSource: Sanitaire -- A Xylem Brand
In order to meet the anticipated effluent criteria required by the Pennsylvania DEP, the Newville Borough Water & Sewer Authority determined that its existing wastewater treatment facility needed renovations. By installing two continuous fill SBR tanks, the facility lowered total nitrogen below permit limits, reduced energy costs, and created a new revenue stream (selling unused nutrient allocations).

Troy Mayor Janice Daniels faces calls for her resignation following post on Facebook
Dozens lash out at council meeting over gay slur
TROY, Mich. (WXYZ) - Troy Mayor Janice Daniels apologized for a controversial Facebook post but has no plans to resign. At Monday night's council meeting Daniels faced a barrage of criticism from constituents over her comments. Many in the crowd called on her to step down.
Watch Cheryl Chodun's report on meeting in the player on the left
Daniels told the packed house that she was sorry and said it was time to move on.
Earlier this year, after the state of New York legalized gay marriage, Daniels posted "I think I am going to throw away my 'I love New York' carrying bag now that queers can get married there" on her personal Facebook page.Daniels wasn't mayor at the time. The post went viral this past weekend.
"I regret having said it," Daniels told Action News. "It was inappropriate language that I used to describe a group of people, although I do believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. It was just an inappropriate remark and I apologize for it."
Daniels won the election just four weeks ago and now has been besieged by calls to resign from her post. But the mayor says she has no plans to do that, despite protests by phone and online.
"I'm hoping because I'm expressing my regret, that people will accept that I'm human," Daniels said. "And that's what I'm asking for is forgiveness."
Protests took place outside Troy City Hall and Daniels faced a lot of tough criticism at Monday night's city council meeting.
Daniels says she only has one gay friend that she knows of, and will consider reaching out to gay and lesbian groups.
"I have listened to all the comments that have been made, both from my supporters and from the people who were upset with me, and I think that as a result of having listened to all of the comments I will be even a better mayor in the future," said Daniels.
Daniels says she does not think her comments will deter businesses from coming to Troy. In fact she says businesses want to come to Troy because she is mayor.
Daniels would not go into details on her thoughts of gay rights.
"I think as the mayor of Troy my personal opinions aren't really of the issue," Daniels says. "I don't think it's an issue the mayor of Troy needs to address."
Her personal Facebook page has been deactivated.
As for that 'I love New York' bag, Daniels still has it.

Another quiet day for RNSs. Engineering group Costain (LON:COST) issues a good solid pre-close trading statement (since their results are due to be issued on 6 March, then the Close Period starts 2 months before that, so 6 Jan).
They finished the year in line with expectations, order book slightly down on last year £2.4bn vs £2.5bn, and with over £700m of work secured for 2013 (presumably up from the "in excess of £650m secured for 2012" at this time last year, although the wording could be ambiguous, since both are in excess of a stated number).
They also have a "strong cash position and no significant borrowings".
This looks a nice steady company, churning out reliable EPS of around 30p on average each year, and a steadily rising divi (10p last year). So the expected EPS of 30p this year puts them on a PER of 8.3, and a divi yield of 4.2%. At first glance that looks fairly attractive to me, for a company which should benefit from the cyclical upturn in the economy which will happen at some point. So could be worth a further look?
Dry cleaning outfit Johnson Service (LON:JSG) puts out an in line trading statement for y/e 31 Dec. Results will be issued in early March. Interestingly, they say that the dry cleaning estate has shown LFL sales growth, "the first such increase for a number of years".
If dry cleaning is a proxy for the overall health of the economy, then this could be a reassuring sign. Although a trend I have noticed, is that with many people feeling insecure about their jobs, people are tending to dress more smartly in the office, in order to project a more professional image. When I turn up for meetings without a tie these days, I'm usually the only person in the room tie-less. Whereas a couple of years ago there were more open-necked shirts. So perhaps JSG are benefiting from a trend towards smarter office dress?
Anyway, the shares look fully priced to me, EPS forecast of 4.4p means they are on a PER of about 8.5 at 38p. Cheap? Not really, when you consider they have £59m of debt (which is 62% of their market cap of £95m). So that would take the PER up to almost 14 if you add back the debt. There are better bargains out there in my view.
Shipping broker Clarkson (CKN) issues a brief statement saying that despite challenging markets, trading continues to be in line with expectations. Nice company, but the shares look fairly priced to me (whereas I'm looking for bargains!)
Management Consulting Group (MMC) issues an in line trading statement, and a share repurchase programme. It looks fairly cheap on a PER basis, with 2.7p EPS expected for 2012, so at 23p a share I make that a PER of 8.5.
However, I don't like the balance sheet - loads of intangibles, and too much debt. They note that y/e net debt is £30m, and has reduced well in the last few years. There is a reasonable divi yield of about 3.5%. It's not for me, due to the balance sheet being too weak for my preference.
OK that's it for this week, should be busy next week with lots of trading statements I would imagine, so be sure to check back here every day.
I always Tweet to announce when articles are published here, so if you follow me on Twitter, @paulypilot then you will be amongst the first to know when reports are published (which saves checking back multiple times).
Meet the Management
Oh, also want to mention that there is an interesting "Meet the management" event being organised by Equity Development on 17 Jan in London, in the evening. The 3 companies presenting all look interesting; Regenersis, Tracsis, and VP Group.
I'm told there are a few spaces left, so if you would like to attend then check out the contact details here. I shall be attending, so say hello if you also attend! I'll be the guy with no tie!
Regards, Paul.

Nick Brownlee talks about pigs, zombies and other weird sources of inspiration!
Posted by Lucy Icke in Fiction, Guest Posts
Nick Brownlee's fantastic crime novels are set in the heart of Kenya and here he talks about the strange stories from the area that have inspired his work…
Last year, in a remote village in Kenya's Rift Valley, a man was accused of putting a curse on his neighbour's pigs. He was murdered and later the cursed pigs were lynched. But that was not the end of the story. Concerned that the dead man might return as a zombie, his body was dug up and killed again – this time by the rest of the villagers.
I mention this because it is not unusual. In fact stories like this one appear with almost blasé regularity in the news in brief columns of the Kenyan newspapers. I read them voraciously, partly as a means of getting ideas, but mainly to reassure myself that even my most outlandish plots are nothing compared to the truth.
Readers of my Jake & Jouma books often ask me if I have either lived in Kenya or spend six months of the year there. To both, the answer is no – but I take the question as a compliment. Living and working in the UK, the internet is regrettably the main source of my bread and butter research. But I am not a great fan of in-depth research. Know your subject, by all means, but be light fingered with how you use your knowledge. Detail clogs the arteries of fiction. Too much kills it stone dead.
I try to get to Kenya once every couple of years, just to top up the inspiration banks. It never fails. The journalist in me loves to meet people and sniff out their stories. Sometimes I can see a person walking across Jamhuri Park in downtown Mombasa or along the beach at Shanzu and they will transform into a character with a back story before my eyes. On a recent visit I saw an officious-looking askari strutting the hotel grounds with a vicious-looking rungu club in his belt, and six weeks later he was a fully fledged character in Machete.
My prized possessions are the notebooks I have brought back from my regular trips to Africa. They consist of scribbled observations, often no more than a word, cartoons, names, places. Hardly evidence of a seasoned travel writer – but without them I could never have written my series.
And my God I need the material! The trouble with Kenya is that it has a voracious appetite for plots. In the course of three books, Jake and Jouma have gone head-to-head with people traffickers, corrupt cops, international assassins, machete-wielding serial killers, and in the next book I'm planning to throw them to the mercy of gang of cut-throat Somali pirates.
I'm not complaining, though. Why should I? I have no intention of letting them rest on their laurels.
Sorry guys.

Final Stats | Final Stats | Notes
PASADENA, Calif. -- The shootout nearly turned into a shutout.After their offenses went back and forth in the highest-scoring first quarter in Rose Bowl history, the defenses from Wisconsin and TCU traded blows in a defensive battle that decided the Grandaddy of Them All.In the end, TCU's No. 1-ranked defense had one more stop left in it.Linebacker Tank Carder swatted down a 2-point conversion pass attempt with 2 minutes to play, and it helped No. 3 TCU completed a perfect season with its first Rose Bowl victory, 21-19, over fourth-ranked Wisconsin on Saturday.In doing so, the Horned Frogs snapped UW's streak of three-consecutive Rose Bowl wins."Hopefully the scar that we're going to take from this game can get us back here sooner than later," UW head coach Bret Bielema said. "This game wasn't decided on one play or two plays. It was probably an accumulation of about 10 or 12 plays that we failed to execute, and (TCU) did."The play halted the Badgers' attempt at a fourth-quarter comeback, which nearly came to fruition after Montee Ball ran in for a touchdown from 4 yards out on the end of a 77-yard scoring drive. It capped a 132-yard day for Ball, who joined with teammates John Clay and James White to bring Wisconsin agonozingly close to becoming the first school in FBS history to have three running backs rush for 1,000 yards in a season.Clay rushed 11 times for 76 yards to bump his season total to 1,012 while James White carried eight times for 23 yards to finish the year with 1,052 yards. Ball eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the fifth-straight game and ended the year with 996 rushing yards.Through the air, senior quarterback Scott Tolzien completed 12 of 21 passes for 159 yards to finish the season with a Big Ten-record completion percentage of 72.9 percent.Ball's score was the only points of the second half for Wisconsin, which also held TCU to a single second-half TD.That came on the Horned Frogs' first drive of the third quarter - with Luke Shivers scoring on a 1-yard run -- and staked TCU to a 21-13 lead after covering 71 yards in just six plays.Then the defenses settled in.The teams traded punts on each of their next three drives until the Badgers go the ball back with 7:32 remaining.Clay opened the scoring march with back-to-back runs of 14 and 30 yards to drive the Badgers into TCU territory. The Badgers needed a third-down pass from Tolzien to Kendricks to keep the chains moving, before handing the keys back to Clay for four straight runs that had UW inside the Horned Frogs' 5 yard line.Ball finished the job with the Badgers' 48th rushing score of the season - matching the Big Ten record set by Ohio State in 1974.As the Badgers lined up for a potential game-tying two-point conversion, Carder made a perfectly timed leap at the line to bat down Tolzien's throw to the end zone. The intended receiver, tight end Jacob Pedersen, was open in the end zone."What got us here was clean execution and clean disciplined football, and we didn't do that today all around, myself included," Tolzien said. "That's why it's the greatest game, because you don't execute and you're on edges. The other team's going to find a way to beat you."I think you also give credit to TCU for a good game plan and just playing their tails off. It was a four-quarter battle, and it was unfortunate all around for us."The defensive struggle after halftime was in stark contrast to a frenetic first quarter that saw the teams combine for a Rose Bowl-record 24 points.The Badgers were forced to settle for a field goal after marching 55 yards on eight plays on their game-opening drive, a 30-yarder from Phillip Welch.TCU answered with a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to Bart Johnson on its first possession, jumping out to a 7-3 lead.Clay countered with a 1-yard touchdown run on UW's next drive to help the Badgers regain the lead, but Dalton quickly put the Frogs back out front on a 4-yard run of his own.The Badgers blinked first as Welch missed wide left on a 39-yard field goal attempt, but the UW defense stood tall by forcing TCU into a punt on its ensuing possession.Welch then drew the Badgers within a point, at 14-13, by drilling a 37-yarder as time expired on the first half.UW's ball-control style allowed the Badgers to hold the ball for all but three plays in the second quarter. In all, the Badgers held the ball for 21 minutes, 28 seconds of the first half, leaving TCU just 8:32 with which to work.For the game, the Badgers owned a 13-minute advantage in possession time, outgained the Frogs by 84 yards and held TCU to less than half of the 43.3 points per game the Horned Frogs averaged to rank No. 4 nationally coming into the game.Wisconsin's 226 total rushing yards were almost twice as many as TCU's nation-leading defense had been allowing entering the game (89.2 yards per game).
"Obviously, (that's) a very good football team on the other sideline, but we'll take this and we'll move forward," Bielema said. "I don't think there will be anything that sets us back."

Alternator Voltage regulator
Ok so my regulator shorted out today.
Does anyone know what each of the terminals are on the plug? I see A S I
What does A, S, and I stand for?
Or does that stand for alternator status indicator?
Last edited by ienjoydrifting; 04-03-2007 at 08:24 AM.
This may not help you,ienjoydrifting, because its such an old post, but it might provide an answer for some of the folks doing their best to get answers on their own.
The A (battery sense) is used to sense battery voltage. This circuit is used by the regulator to determine generator output. This circuit is also used to supply current to the generator field, which will determine generator (alternator) output.
The S (stator) is used to feed back a voltage signal externally from the generator stator to the regulator. This voltage feedback signal, which is typically half the battery voltage, is used by the regulator to turn off the charging system warning indicator. Diesel engines have usually have an internal stator circuit.
The I (ignition) is used to turn on the voltage regulator. This circuit is powered up with the key in the ON position. This circuit is also used to turn the charging system warning indicator on if there is a fault in the charging system operation.
Typical Operation:
With the key in the ON position, voltage is applied through the warning indicator I circuit to the voltage regulator. This turns the regulator on, allowing current to flow from battery sense A circuit to the generator field coil. When the engine is started, the generator begins to generate alternating current (AC) which is internally converted to direct current (DC). This current is then supplied to the vehicle electrical system through the output circuit B+ terminal of the generator.
Once the generator begins generating current, a voltage signal is taken from the generator stator and fed back to the regulator through the stator circuit (S). This voltage feedback signal that is usually half the battery voltage is used to turn off the warning light.
With the system functioning normally, the generator output current is determined by the voltage of the A circuit. The A circuit voltage is compared to a set voltage internal to the regulator. The regulator controls the generator field current to maintain the correct generator output.
The set voltage will vary with temperature and is typically higher in cold temperatures and lower in warm temperatures. This allows for better battery recharge in the winter and reduces the chance of overcharging in the summer.
Oh, the Battery Positive Output Circuit, B+ is the generator output supplied through the battery positive output terminal on the rear of the generator to the battery and the vehicle electrical system.
So, what you typically see is No Output from the ALT at first (depending on how long the GP's are on, NOT the WTS light which actually has little to do with them).

Plessis Road Underpass
Project Background
In 2012, federal, provincial and municipal officials announced that the Plessis Road Underpass was approved for joint funding by the three levels of government, with a budget of $77 million.
Traffic is regularly restricted by passing trains causing congestion. The development of the Plessis Underpass will separate trains from motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, making the area safer and more efficient for all modes of transportation.
Project Highlights
The Project will include an underpass of the CN Rail line. The underpass is to be located north of the Plessis Road and Dugald Road intersection.
Other components of the project will include:
- Land drainage system improvements.
- Active Transportation facilities.
- Roadway improvements on Plessis Road, upgrading from two lanes to four lanes divided, between Dugald Road and Pandora Avenue.
- Relocation of utilities, including watermains, sewers, fibre optic cables, gas mains, distribution poles, street lights and electrical lines.
- Relocation of oil pipelines.
The City, along with our engineering service providers and contractors have made every effort to identify and implement efficiencies to complete the Plessis Underpass Project as soon as possible. While we continue to look for efficiencies, due to unexpected delays in constructing a rail detour (shoofly) and relocating oil pipelines, the project is behind schedule. Our project funding partners have granted the following extensions:
- Two lanes of the Project on Plessis Road between Dugald Road and Kernaghan Avenue will be open to traffic by October 31, 2015, as opposed to July 31, 2015;
- Four lanes of the Project on Plessis Road between Dugald Road and Kernaghan Avenue will be open to traffic by September 30, 2016, as opposed to September 30, 2015; and
- The Project completion date will be no later than March 31, 2017, as opposed to March 31, 2016.
We wish to thank you for your continued patience with this major construction project.
Public Open House
The City of Winnipeg held an Open House February 28, 2013 to review the preliminary design of the underpass and to answer questions about the project. These were the visual displays presented:
Public Open House No. 2
The second Plessis Road Underpass Open House was held on June 19, 2013 and provided the latest construction information and updated design information, and summarized some comments heard from the first Open House.
Open House No. 2 newsletter English / French
The following is frequently asked questions and responses for the Plessis Underpass project. Information is also available in the Open House Information Boards.
- The proposed twinning of Plessis Road south of Dugald Road seems to run through the golf course lands? How long until the twinning of Plessis Road south of Dugald Road occurs?
- The twinning of Plessis Road south of Dugald Road is not considered a City priority at this time and there has not been any funding allocated to the roadway improvements in the budgets. There is the possibility of initiating a Secondary Plan in the area to examine all of the necessary planning considerations required at some time in the future.
- Why was an underpass design chosen, instead of an overpass?
- Overpass options were developed and determined to be more expensive, produce more noise, require more property, and be less visually unappealing to the surrounding area than an underpass.
- Will an underpass or overpass eventually be constructed at the Perimeter and Dugald Road?
- The Perimeter is owned and operated by the Province of Manitoba and is not under jurisdiction of the City of Winnipeg.
- When completed, will Plessis Road eventually become a truck route after the underpass is completed?
- Plessis Road south of Regent Avenue West is currently designated as a truck route and will remain so following construction of the underpass.
- Will traffic be restricted from travelling on Bournais Drive?
- Traffic is not expected to be restricted on Bournais Drive; the City will monitor traffic prior to and during construction. The use of Bournais Drive as an alternative route during construction is not encouraged. Discussions are ongoing with Bernie Wolfe Community School and the River East Transcona School Division. Signage has been placed at strategic locations encouraging drivers to use alternative routes before entering the area.
- Will there be any other newsletters or email updates providing more project information?
- All project information or construction updates will be available on the project website. A newsletter will be prepared and distributed by standard mail delivery to notify the public. As well, those who provided an email address in the online feedback form or at the Open House events will be sent an electronic copy of the newsletter.
- Can one lane be left open on Plessis Road during initial construction to allow peak hour traffic through?
- Plessis Road at the rail crossing closed July 28, 2013; the City anticipates that Plessis Road will open to traffic prior to October 31, 2015. Construction is expected to be complete in September, 2016. Access is being maintained between Pandora Avenue and Kernaghan Avenue. A detour road west of the existing crossing was considered but determined to be too costly and a risk to the project schedule.
- How will this affect people who access the Transcona Golf Club and will there still be access to the Trans-Canada Highway via Plessis Road south?
- Construction works on Dugald Road and Plessis Road south of Dugald Road will be staged to maintain traffic.
- Has there been consideration made to limit the train traffic during construction?
- Train traffic is controlled by the rail company. A temporary rail detour will be constructed so that train traffic can bypass the bridge construction.
- The long acceleration/merge lanes on Dugald Road are beneficial. Can this be applied to all four corners of the intersection?
- Acceleration and deceleration lanes were provided where traffic volumes warranted them. They have been implemented for traffic moving from the north to the west and traffic moving from the east to the north.
- How quickly will water be diverted to the dry pond and how? What is the likelihood of flooding at the underpass?
- The underpass is designed to remain dry through a 1 in 25-year rainfall event via pumping from the lift station (with all pumps working). The lift station capacity is also designed to minimize the effects of a 1 in 50 year rainfall event to minor flooding enabling the underpass to remain passable for emergency vehicles. The lift station discharges directly to the dry pond.
- Will more detailed information be provided about the traffic diversion? How will the diversion affect Heartstone Drive onto Pandora Avenue West?
- The use of alternative regional streets during construction is encouraged. It is expected that traffic volumes will increase on Pandora Avenue West.
- How much land will the Transcona Golf Course lose from this project?
- Construction will include improvements at the intersection of Plessis Road and Dugald Road. To accommodate the additional northbound turning lanes, a small area of golf course property is required but is not expected to impact layout or operations.
- Can the City provide updates on the status of the project and if it is completed on time and on budget?
- All project information available to the public can be found on the project website. For further information related to the project, please contact 311.
- As the distance between the CN track and Dugald Road is minimal, what slope will the roadway be between the two points?
- The longitudinal gradient is expected to be approximately 5 percent, comparable to theunderpass of McPhillips Street at CP Rail.
- Has there been a traffic study regarding the estimated amount of traffic south of Dugald Road after the underpass has been completed?
- A traffic study was conducted and the volumes on Plessis Rd south of Dugald Rd are not expected to increase significantly following the underpass construction. Volumes are expected to grow at a typical rate of approximately 1.5% annually thereafter.
- Why does the proposed twinning have such a sizeable median of empty land?
- Wide medians promote safety by reducing the possibility of collision by vehicles travelling in opposite directions and provide space for signage, landscaping, snowstorage and future road widening.
- Would a temporary traffic light system at Rougeau Avenue and Bournais Drive help traffic flow more efficiently along Bournais Drive?
- The addition of a traffic light would encourage traffic to use Bournais Drive, which is not a regional street and has an elementary school. The City does not want to encourage traffic to use Bournais Drive as an alternative route during construction.
- Are you going to increase the turning light timing at surrounding intersections?
- To accommodate traffic during the road closure, the traffic signals are expected to be re-timed at the following intersections during construction:
- Plessis Road and Regent Avenue West;
- Plessis Road and Pandora Avenue West;
- Plessis Road at Dugald Road;
- Dugald Road and Ravenhurst Street;
- Regent Avenue West and Nairn Avenue (between Owen Street and Archibald Street).
- What will the hours of construction be and can they be increased to 24/7 in order to speed up the process?
- Typical hours of construction are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The hours of operation are limited and need to be sensitive to noise generation to adjacent residents. A 24/7 construction schedule could result in significant cost increases to the project.
- How much notice will be given to residents when the water and other utilities are disrupted?
- When water service shut downs are required, the City will attempt to provide 24 hours' notice. An earlier notice will alert them of the possible shut down.
- In regards to the Plessis Road Underpass design, can it incorporate railway themes into the design as a form of public art?
- Railway themes are reflected in the architecture of the lift station and in the pattern inscribed into the concrete retaining walls at the underpass.

Losing your identity
Recently I've had time to revisit the question of identity columns (or sequences if you like). A client had come up with a screen that they really wanted us to incorporate in to their application, and the design of it had been done by some of their business analysts. One of the fields that was present on the screen was a unique identifier. Now, being a bit of a nosy so and so, I wanted to know where the unique identifier came from and was told that it was just an identify column padded out to 9 digits with the letter C in front of it (apparently C stood for client). This lead me to have an interesting discussion with the analysts:
Me: Why are we taking up valuable screen real estate with this field?
Analyst: It's on there so the user knows the id of the customer.
Me: Fair enough. Can they search on this field?
Analyst: No.
Me: Does the client know their id value?
Analyst: No
Me: So, what purpose does this field have?
Analyst (in a sneering tone): It's there to ensure referential integrity, and to give us a unique value to update the client on. Don't you know anything about relational design?
Now, at this point, you might imagine that I was less than pleased with the design based on my questioning it, but why was I so put off by this field? First of all, when you are designing a screen, you have to ask yourself what the user will be doing with the screen. How will they interact with it? What do you need to put on there to let the user do their job? By putting an identifier on the screen that had no other purpose than to hold the identifier they were going to update the record against, the analysts had made a classic UI design. This, by the way, is why you need to have a User experience expert on your project, and why users, not just analysts, should have input into the UI.
By putting this field onto the screen, the analyst had given it an importance that it didn't have. It's a distraction for the user; always try to put on the screen the information that they need to do their job, and give them an easy flow through to discover additional information if they need it. With newer technologies like Silverlight and WPF, it's incredibly easy to design attractive screens that show and hide information in visually appealing ways, so it's a shame not to take advantage of these features while you can.
Don't get me wrong, there can be a case for putting identifiers on a screen. If the user can search on the identifier, or the client could be reasonably expected to know the identifier, then it's perfectly valid to have these on the screen. Nine times out of ten though, if the value is an auto-generated identity or sequence and it's sole purpose is to enable referential integrity, then you don't need to display it.
Please remember, when you have a piece of UI design in front of you, question everything. Ask why things are taking up valuable screen real estate. Ask if there are other options, such as flyouts, that could be used to present the additional information in none-intrusive ways. Most importantly of all, ask the users what they need to see – they are the experts after all.

Hear, hear! (I imagine hearing a slow clapping echoing in a large auditorium with most of the audience looking bewildered.)
I'd say your 9 times out of 10 remark is off by a few factors. Probably it's more like 999 times out of 1000. I was literally rolling my eyes at "It's there to ensure referential integrity, and it gives us a unique value to update the client on. Don't you know aything about relational design?" My response would have been an even tarter "But the user doesn't care about the details of referential integrity in relational database systems. Don't you know anything about user interface design?"

Make that two people slowly clapping in the large auditorium. That story almost reminds me of the bozo's in Starbucks telling Josh that he should read his article (I love referring to that as often as possible in the off chance that said bozos read my comment and realize that they are forever the laughing stock of XAML). I guess they assume that you're doing UX because you couldn't cut it as a developer.
For the most part, I wish that developers would stop being so full of themselves. It's almost like the euphoria of creation has given them a God complex (here Alec Baldwin would interject God Complex? I AM God!). When in reality if they took the time to listen just once in a while, they might actually learn something.

1897-11-01 (110lbs) Jack Walker w rsc 3 (20) Johnny Thomas, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England
1897-11-01 (110lbs) Jack Walker w rsc 3 (20) Johnny Thomas, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England. Referee: Bernard J. Angle. Billed for the vacant English 110lbs title, £50-a-side, and a £50 purse, both men were stated to be inside the stipulated weight. Having well won the opening round, Walker twice dropped Thomas in the second, the last occasion seeing the latter saved by the bell. With the third session underway, after Walker had sent in a left-right-left to head, body and jaw to drop Thomas face down on the canvas the fight was stopped.
Walker, who could get down to 104lbs without any difficulty, challenged the world following his victory but had no takers.
Another fight at the weight saw Wag Hampton outpoint Charlie Exall over three rounds in the final of a championship competition at the Excelsior Baths, Bethnal Green, London on 22 January 1898.

Delta Basics Part I: San Francisco Bay
Delta Basics Part I: San Francisco Bay
User Rating:
/ 80
As the West Coast stronghold of striped bass, the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento River Delta form a vast playground for fly anglers. In summer, it's time to hit the bay. It's 6:15 a.m., and I'm already tight to my third linesider of the morning. A sizable school of stripers has taken up residence between the abutments of the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, and I have them all to myself on this early Wednesday morning. In fact, there is not another boat in sight. On the bridge above, commuters sip their Starbucks on the morning crawl into the city. They have no idea I'm even here. But a trucker with a better vantage point gives me a honk and a thumbs-up as I pull a respectable seven-pound bass into the boat. There is only one more hour left of incoming water, so I release the fish and get right back to casting before the tide and the bite die. Several more stripers take the ruse before it's time for me to make the run back across San Francisco Bay and join the ranks of morning commuters. But catching five fish between three and eight pounds is not a bad way to start the day in the shadow of 6.5 million people.
So, stripers are an East Coast fish, right? I thought the same thing after moving to San Francisco from northern New England nearly a decade ago. Fortunately, the opportunities I soon discovered with Left Coast stripers were beyond my expectations.
Originally, there were no striped bass in California, but their history in the Golden State dates back to the late 1870s. In fact, one of the first acts of the newly created U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was to capture 133 bass from the Navesink River in New Jersey and transport them by train in wooden barrels and milk cans across the continent to San Francisco Bay. A few years later the service made a second introduction, and in all, only 435 striped bass yearlings were transplanted. But the East Coast bass quickly made themselves at home. From those meager beginnings the population skyrocketed, and by the turn of the century, there were established populations from Monterey to Coos Bay, Oregon. Even now this introduction ranks as one of the most successful fish stocking efforts ever.
Today the primary West Coast population of striped bass is located in and around San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Estuary known locally as the Delta. Although they are all part of one massive system, these are distinctly different fisheries, so we will look at them separately. Part one of this series will explore the spring, summer, and early fall fishery in San Francisco Bay. In part two, we will be trailering up and heading to the Sacramento River Delta for the fall and winter runs.
Seasons of the Striper
Though we lack the sheer number of fish there are back East, there is not a month of the year when one can't fling flies at stripers within an hour and a half of downtown San Francisco. This is the big bonus to chasing stripers on the Left Coast. Over half that time good fishing can be had within sight of the famous Golden Gate Bridge. This is a legitimate 12-month fishery. Stripers have adapted to California's temperate climate and have no need to migrate hundreds of miles up and down the coast in search of ideal water conditions. They are able to live their entire life just moving within the Bay-Delta ecosystem. That said, you can't just show up at the same point day after day and expect to find them. The Delta contains more than 1,000 miles of navigable waterways. That's potentially 2,000 miles of shoreline! Add to that another 550 square miles of assorted rocky walls, islands, shoals, and flats of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays, and you have your work cut out for you.
Understanding a little about West Coast striper behavior is the key to knowing where and when to find them.
The short answer to the "when" is that they are in the bay from March until November, but it's really not that simple. If I had a better grasp on how they moved years ago, I could have saved myself a lot of unproductive trips. There are really three distinct runs in the bay on which to focus your efforts. The spring, the post-spawn, and the fall. Many years we can have great fishing in March and early April. This is primarily flats fishing for schoolie-size bass, but with warm, windless days and lighter rods it can be a great way to start the season.
Around mid-May the stripers start returning from their spawning grounds up in the Sacramento River and set up camp on the islands and flats throughout the bay. This is prime time for big bass, especially if you focus on deeper structure. It is also about the time the famous San Francisco Bay fog and afternoon winds arrive, making most fly-fishing outings a morning affair. This will last until around the Fourth of July weekend, when many of the fish will either move out to the beaches to the north and south of the Golden Gate or they will hold in the deep underwater structure out of the range of the fly angler. They can still be found, just normally not in the numbers available during the peak runs.
Sometime in early September the fall run will kick in to high gear. If you are looking for great weather and numbers of fish, this is the time of year to experience the Bay. You can find fish almost anywhere from the Golden Gate Bridge all the way back to the Hamilton Flats area and Rodeo in San Pablo Bay. The run continues to build through October as fish move in from the Pacific. Known locally as the World Series striper bite, there is often a week or two in late October where there is exceptional fishing throughout the bay. As quickly as it began, the fish disappear from the Bay as they head for their winter waters in the Delta.
Striper Haunts
Stripers, whether in the east or the west, inherently like to wander in search of food and ideal habitat. Find moving water and some type of edge and you will almost always find stripers. For the fly angler this means either the flats or some kind of structure where stripers can wait and ambush their prey.
: By nature, San Francisco Bay is a fairly shallow body of water. There are large, well-known flats, such as San Quentin, the Brickyard, Richardson Bay, Paradise, and China Camp. Fish can be scattered throughout these areas, but you want to concentrate on specific locations that will hold them. The best spots usually have a current break, a rocky shoreline, or a weed edge. Always be on the lookout for diving birds, which is a sure sign bass are around. The key is to cover lots of water and focus your efforts on the last few hours of the incoming water and the beginning of the outgoing tide. This is when the fish will be on the move and the water is cleanest. When stripers are on the flats they are there for a reason, and they will normally be in a feeding mood.
: The undisputed epicenter of striper fishing in San Francisco Bay is an island called Red Rock. As its name suggests, it is literally a six-acre red rock that juts nearly 200 feet out of the middle of the bay. I have caught fish somewhere along this island at every point of every tide. If bass are in the bay, usually a few have taken up residence on the island. Along with many other anglers, it is also where I landed my first West Coast striper. This spot is a fish magnet for several reasons: It has good current, multiple rocky points, and underwater structure to create edges and deep water just offshore. In short, it offers everything that a striper wants. This is by no means a secret spot, but you can take what you learn from this location and adapt it to almost any of the other 10 islands in the bay.
There are many proven, well-known striper spots in San Francisco Bay, but they are certainly not the only places to find fish. Don't become guilty of what I call "following the paper route" by hitting the same spots day after day, as everyone else does. Over the years this point has been made to me more than once, but there was one day that made a lasting impression. I was out hitting all of the usual spots to no avail. Around 8 a.m. I met up with a friend to find we only had a few small fish between us to show for the effort. My buddy decided to call it a day. Before heading in I made my way around a point to try one last spot. A place where I had never actually cast a fly. By noon I was heading in with sore wrists, torn-up thumbs, and a big grin. In four hours I had brought more than 50 fish to the boat, including some of my best fish of the season. I can't emphasize it enough: Keep moving until you find them. Get a chart for San Francisco Bay, and you will find endless options. Keep exploring and stay flexible. The most rewarding spots are the ones you find on your own.
Gearing Up
In terms of tackle, the same gear used for chasing stripers on the East Coast will suffice. Day in and day out there are two setups that are always on my boat. One for fishing the flats and one for the deeper water structure, such as the islands. An 8-weight rigged with a 300-grain integrated head or an intermediate line gets the majority of duty in water six feet or less. It amazes me how shallow stripers will prowl at certain times. In fact, the two largest stripers I took out of the bay last year came out of knee-deep water.
When fishing deeper structure, larger flies and fast-sinking lines become the rule. Any standard 9- or 10-weight will do, but this is where our setup differs from what is commonly used in the Northeast. Many of the area's top anglers and guides employ a similar line system for fishing fast rips or places they need to get deep. There are quite a few fast-sinking fly lines on that market but none excel at getting down like a 30-foot shooting head made from Lead Core or Rio's T-14. Attached to a monofilament running line of Amnesia or Rio Slick shooter, it drops to the bottom like a rock. The running line takes a little getting used to, but the added casting distance and ability to cut through currents are huge benefits. Bottom line, you'll spend more time with your fly in the strike zone. During the fall run when the opportunity for busting fish presents itself, a floating line setup gets added to the mix as well are not at all leader shy. When you hook a monster and it drags you into the reef, you'll be glad to be connected with the heavier tippet.
Flies and Techniques
West Coast stripers are generally aggressive, opportunistic feeders. Rarely do they get as selective as their eastern brethren. Compared with the plethora of sizes and shapes of bait in the east, sources of striper feed in the bay are relatively simple. Anchovies, shiner perch, and herrings make up the majority of their diet. These are all four- to six-inch baitfish with shiny sides and dark backs, so it makes fly selection pretty easy.
Fully tied Clousers or Deceiver-style baitfish patterns tied on 2/0 to 4/0 hooks will all get the job done. With stained water, flies that have presence and move water will catch their attention, as will those with a healthy dose of flash. Dan Blanton got it right when he developed the Whistler for these waters 40 years ago. Adapted with modern materials, this fly pattern is still one of the staples today. The old adage, "If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use," holds a lot of weight in my book. The vast majority of the time a chartreuse-and-white fly is on the end of my line. Other effective colors are blue and white, yellow and white, and red and white. I tend to favor brightly colored patterns except for low light and stained water, where all black is a striper killer everywhere.
More often than not, your retrieve has far more to do with success than your fly. It is important to experiment and find what they want. Some days a long strip followed by several short twitches will do the trick. Other days they want a long pause and drop. Letting a fly swing through a rip and just twitching it can be deadly, and the grab on a tight line can be heart-stopping. As a general rule, the warmer the water, the faster the retrieve. Think of it as teasing a cat with a piece of string, and keep mixing it up until you get bit. One thing is for sure: a steady, unanimated pull will get out fished day in and day out.
Now that you have the "keys to the car" it's time to get out there. The only way to really learn a fishery is by spending time on the water. A lot of people are intimidated by the vastness of the bay. Focusing on seams and edges, mixing up your retrieves, and keeping on the move until you find the fish will unlock the secrets to an amazing fishery. It won't take long to figure out why more than one East Coast transplant has made the San Francisco Bay their home.

The small hazards that can lead to minor cuts and scrapes are a part of everyday life. All it takes is one slip of focus while slicing bread and you've cut your finger. Or you trip on a curb and skin your knee.
Get immediate medical attention for a wound that is deep, bleeds heavily, or has something embedded in it. If it's a minor cut or scrape, here's what to do:
Clean the Cut
First wash your hands with soap and water.
Then rinse the cut or scrape with cool water to remove dirt and debris. Hold the area under running water or pour clean water over it from a cup. Use soap to clean the wound.
You don't need to use stronger cleaning solutions -- such as hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or rubbing alcohol -- to treat minor cuts and scrapes, as they may irritate the wound. Cool clean water should be fine for cleaning the wound.
Stop the Bleeding
A small amount of blood can help clean out the wound. Smaller cuts and abrasions usually stop bleeding on their own. A cut to the head or hand may bleed more because those areas have a lot of blood vessels.
To stop the bleeding, gently apply firm, direct pressure using a clean cloth or gauze. Continue to hold the pressure steadily.
Don't raise the cloth or gauze to check on the wound, because that could cause the wound to start bleeding again. If blood seeps through the dressing, just put more on top and keep applying pressure.
If the cut is on your hand or arm, you can help slow the bleeding by raising it above your head.
If the cut spurts blood or if it doesn't stop bleeding, get medical help right away.
When to Call the Doctor
Most minor cuts and abrasions don't need a doctor's care. But call your doctor if:
- The wound is on your face.
- The edges of the cut are jagged or gape open, the cut is deep (1/4 inch or more), or you can see fat or muscle. These are signs that you may need stitches.
- You can't get all of the dirt or debris out of the wound, or the wound was caused by something very dirty or rusty.
- You have a puncture wound or a cut and haven't had a tetanus shot in the past 5 years.
- The wound is from an animal or human bite.
- The injured area feels numb.

Thermaltake 120mm Blue LED Thunderblade Fan
Posted by Agnaldo on 10th Jul 2012
Pros: Looks Great Works Great!!!!! Cons: None LikeWoah27 says:Pros: The ability to crtonol the RPM of the fan with the VR is great. Now I can crtonol the noise of the fan. I purchased two of these fans for my computer and they are set at the very low dial setting and are very quiet. These fans include a an absorption type of installation and I was skeptical at first but it seems to work by lessening the noise/ vibration of the fan. Cons: The fan power connector is a 4 pin molex connector. Maybe they should have included an adapter to 3 pin. Luckily my power supply can handle more molex connections. Other Thoughts: I'm not sure if they have versions without L.E.D.s. For some reason I tend to think that LEDS can cause some heat but it's hard to detect. I would of preferred non L.E.D. but I needed a VR fan fast so I bought this type.Trackbacks & Pingbacks:
