Gate 7, which makes decals and printed components for construction equipment, agricultural and industrial markets, is building a larger facility in the Antrim Commons Business Park.
The building is scheduled to be completed by the end of June, according to Vice President John Reay.
Reay said the expansion was driven by higher sales and new customers, combined with economic recovery.
The company supplies two of the area's largest manufacturers - Manitowoc Cranes and Volvo Construction Equipment.
Gate 7 started in the U.K. and supplied a Grove crane manufacturing facility in Europe. After Grove closed the plant in 1999, Gate 7 moved to the U.S. and began supplying the company's Shady Grove production facility.
"As time moved on, we leased a building to see how things go. Even though we had a recession, it's been excellent, so we decided to build our own facility," Reay said.
The company currently employs 14 at its building on Pine Drive, Greencastle. Reay said a five-year plan proposes adding one employee a year. The new location will double the size of its current U.S. headquarters in Antrim Township.
Gate 7 is building a 12,000-square-foot factory near Exit 3 of I-81. The company purchased 1.8 acres from Antrim Commons for $180,350, according to a recent deed recorded in the Franklin County Courthouse.
The state-of-the-art facility incorporates an attractive design and will be built to LEED principles, according to business park developers. Reay said Franklin County Area Development Corp., Susquehanna Bank, Martin/Martin, and LCSI Lehman Construction were vital to the expansion project.
Atapco Properties and Chesapeake Real Estate said a LERTA tax abatement for the property also provided further incentive for the deal. In December, the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority approved a low-interest loan for the expansion project. The $1.2 million project is being sponsored by Franklin County Economic Development Corp.
Another building is under construction in the business park. Armada Supply Chain Solutions is building a 400,000-square-foot industrial facility at Antrim Commons.

Oakland's Josh Smith takes down Siegel quarterback Dakota Crane, as he tries to pass to Andre Knox on Friday night. Oakland won 35-0 in the Class 6A second round playoff game.
- Filed Under
Oakland shut down Siegel's fast-tempo, high-scoring offense with old-school defense.
Second-ranked Oakland shut out the ninth-ranked Stars 35-0 Friday night at Ray Hughes Stadium in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs, holding the Stars to just 64 yards of total offense.
"I've been saying for a while that our defense is playing pretty well," Oakland coach Thomas McDaniel said. "If you go back and look at the past five or six weeks, we're just not giving up any points." ...

A Beijing court yesterday handed down a fine to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in compensation for unlicensed e-books appearing in its iTunes App Store. The sum of 1.03 million RMB (US$165,000) goes to eight Chinese writers and two companies affected by the copyright infringement. The Chinese iTunes Store doesn't sell e-books, and the infringing literature in this case was packaged as apps.
The case started last year when some of the writers noticed their material was being sold via the App Store without their consent. Although a third-party app developer was the one that caused the copyright infringement, the court ruled that Apple also failed to carry out its duties as store owner.

Construction in Ruidoso slowed during the first month of 2014 with fewer housing starts and no big commercial projects, but Village Building Official Bill Powers said Tuesday that he expects a good year.
"The first of the year always is a little slow, but we have a large remodel going on at K-Bob's (restaurant on U.S. 70) and a couple of big houses," he said. "I think it's looking about the same as most years."
John Cornelius, a member of the village Planning and Zoning Commission and head of Cornelius Construction, said he sees an upswing in building interest locally.
"It seems we're getting more interest, but I don't know anyone who is turning down work. That was the situation before everything went wrong. I had a one-year backlog. But I've talked to several people in the last month interested in building, I won't get all of them, but those houses will be built. It's encouraging to me.
"There also are fewer of us now than five to six years ago. Some (builders) had to leave. That may help a little. It's looking better. The monthly building reports are up and down, but overall (staying steady). The hail storm (in July) generated a lot of roof work."
His business reflects the reputation of Ruidoso as a second-home choice for many.
"Ruidoso is not really affordable housing," Cornelius said. "Most of the stuff I'm doing are second homes and they are large. One house being rebuilt that burned (in the Little Bear Fire of 2012) is 8,500 square feet. I have a lot of remodels too."
The statistics
In January, the division issued 84 permits for a total value of $1,608,004, generating $18,947 in fees for the department. The number of housing starts stayed steady from December, both at three units. The combined construction value in January for new homes was listed as $891,136 with Baudo Enterprises LLS, CDP Builders Inc. and William Van Haselen, developer of the Ruidoso River Condominiums, cited as builders,
The total construction value was better than December. That month 72 permits were issued by the building division for a value of $1,561,489 and three homes at $1.17 million.
The total for January this year wasn't far off the mark for January 2012, when 89 permits were issued for a value of $1.85 million with five housing starts totaling $1.5 million. However, the total valuation fell significantly under January 2013, a whopper of a month with 93 permits issued for a value of $4.997 million. Five homes pulled permits that January valued at $1.18 million, plus a commercial building was started for $3.3 million, a commercial wall at $82,000 and a commercial addition for $46,400. Hard numbers to beat.
Contributing to the January 2014 total valuation for building and trades work were five residential additions valued at $237,584, seven residential repairs at $169,825 and 16 residential re-roofings at $129,856. The roof repairs, which stem from a hail storm that hit the Alto area last July, are beginning to taper off. They reached a high in October 2013 with 78 permits issued for a value of $689,848, dropped to 29 permits in November for a value of $314,483, and then to 25 permits in December for $170,800.

Football Headline
GatorZone.com Senior Writer
BATON ROUGE, La. Jacoby Brissett didnt get a win in his first career start, but he got a good story that he can tell for years to come.
Some day he can tell his grandkids that on a warm October afternoon at Tiger Stadium, he made his first college appearance against the No. 1-ranked team in the nation.
He can tell them that he became only the fifth true freshman quarterback to ever start a game for the Gators and first in school history to take his first college snap as the starter.
He can tell them he threw his first career touchdown pass to Andre Debose, a 65-yard heave that showed off the strong arm that his coaches and teammates have talked about since Brissett arrived.
Maybe Brissett will skip telling them the final score Florida lost 41-11 but he can tell them that under the strenuous circumstances, getting out of Death Valley in one piece was a victory in itself.
I have to give him props. I think he played really well, especially for the environment, the situation he was put in, said teammate Trey Burton, who shared snaps with Brissett on Saturday. We all have is back. He is just going to get better from here on out.
Brissetts climb from fourth-string quarterback to starter in less than a month was a confluence of several factors, most notably the injury to starter John Brantley in last weeks loss to Alabama.
With Brantley out, fellow true freshman Jeff Driskel appeared on track to make his first career start Saturday. Driskel played in four of the first five games and replaced Brantley against Alabama.
However, Driskel suffered an ankle injury late in the game and was hobbled during preparation for LSU, opening the door for Brissett. The 6-foot-3, 239-pound quarterback from Palm Beach Dwyer recently moved ahead of redshirt freshman Tyler Murphy on the depth chart.
Brissett was unavailable for comment afterward Florida coach Will Muschamp does not allow freshmen to speak to the media but his coach was pleased with the way Brissett responded under strenuous circumstances against an LSU defense ranked in the top 10 nationally.
I thought he was solid and I thought under the circumstances against a good football team defensively, [tough] field position in the first half, Muschamp said. We were backed up a lot. I think he is going to be a really good football player for us.
Brissett finished 8-for-14 for 94 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. With Brissett lacking any game experience, offensive coordinator Charlie Weis dialed the game plan back significantly and added a package of plays for Burton out of the wildcat formation.
Brissett threw a lot of short passes early in the game before opening it up some in the second half, the highlight coming on his 65-yard scoring strike to Debose that trimmed LSUs lead to 27-11 after a 2-point conversion near the end of the third quarter.
However, Brissett was picked off twice and showed some of the signs of inexperience you might expect. The Gators quickly fell into a 14-0 hole in the first quarter when their first two drives failed to muster a first down.
Floridas initial first down came on a Burton sneak on fourth-and-1 from UFs 28. Burton, who was part of UFs three-man quarterback rotation a year ago, was used there on Saturday to help ease Brissett into the lineup.
We felt like we had a package for him and we felt like we could execute and execute well, Muschamp said. I thought for the most part he did a nice job. Im very pleased with that.
Burton was 1-for-2 passing for six yards and rushed five times for seven yards. Running back Chris Rainey also took snaps from the wildcat.
But it was Brissett who got the nod to start once Driskel was unable to play. While he didnt get a win, Brissett did seem to earn his teammates respect.
Jacoby did a great job, linebacker Lerentee McCray said. On defense we werent able to stop them a couple of times, but he did a great job. You cant ask more out of a freshman in a big game and stepping into play.
Meanwhile, Muschamp said the plan moving forward at quarterback is to re-evaluate Driskel this week in practice and continue to monitor Brantleys injury. It remains uncertain when the fifth-year senior will be able to return.
The Gators road through October next stops at Auburn.
John will be out of the game more than likely, Muschamp said. Ill let you know Monday for sure but Id imagine he would be. Jeff may be back. We need to re-evaluate where we are on the offensive side of the ball and what we need to do to be successful.

Sun Angle Announces Debut Album
BY NED LANNAMANN | End Hits | Portland Mercury Music Blog
Yesterday, New Moss Records dropped a line to give us the excellent news that they'll be releasing Sun Angle's debut album later this year, on May 7. Sun Angle is the three-headed whirling dervish made up of guitarist Charlie Salas Humara, drummer Papi Fimbres, and bassist Marius Libman, making globe-swallowing psychedelia consisting of many moving parts.
The album is titled Diamond Junk and was produced by Danny Seim of Menomena, and we're hoping to hear the first advance single in March—check back for updates. On Sunday, January 20 at Rontoms, Sun Angle plays their first show following a monthlong hiatus, during which, reportedly, "drummer Papi tripped his way through Istanbul living off of Turkish Delights and buying weird drum cymbals for Revival Drum Shop." That Rontoms show is free; I'm guessing they'll play some stuff from Diamond Junk, but it won't make us any less eager for the new album.

Pennsylvania voter ID mastermind says law too relaxed
HARRISBURG — The chief architect of the voter ID law said he's disappointed in the way that the Corbett administration is implementing the statute, suggesting it is on its way to being watered down as it moves through the courts.
Lowering the requirements for obtaining a newly made, state-issued photo ID allows the potential for fraud — the very thing the law aims to prevent, said House State Government Chairman Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry.
"We respectfully disagree with Representative Metcalfe," said Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley. "Our interpretation of the law is the state does have the authority to issue (new) voter ID. We're trying to implement the law in a fair and effective manner, and to provide a photo ID to voters who don't have one."
A Commonwealth Court judge who upheld the law in August might rule as early as Thursday on whether he will allow its use in the Nov. 6 election.
The state Supreme Court last week sent the case back to Judge Robert Simpson to issue an injunction unless he's convinced the state has made every effort to make sure voters are not disenfranchised.
"I think the executive branch has gone farther than what the law allows them to do," Metcalfe, the law's prime sponsor, told the Tribune-Review.
There's nothing in the law that allows for alternate state-issued ID from the Department of State, or the relaxed standards the department issued this week, Metcalfe said.
Ron Ruman, a spokesman for the Department of State, said the law allows for photo ID issued by the "federal government or the commonwealth."
The intent of the law was for voters to primarily use drivers' licenses and secure nondriver ID issued by PennDOT, which require a higher standard of documentation, Metcalfe said. The law also allows voters to use military, university, nursing home and municipal government-issued photo IDs.
Voter ID brought a raging partisan and legal battle. The GOP-controlled Legislature approved it, and Corbett, a Republican, signed it in March. Democrats opposing the law say it's intended to suppress Democratic votes in urban areas among low-income voters and minorities. They say there's no proof of voter impersonation in Pennsylvania.
In a hearing before Simpson on Tuesday, the state announced new standards making it easier for voters to get the Department of State ID, which was first offered in late August. Alfred Putnam, the state's lead lawyer, said the state was trying to meet the Supreme Court's interpretation of the law. He said it would be central to the state's argument against the need for an injunction to halt the law.
A coalition of civil liberties' groups and the NAACP are seeking the injunction. Simpson said he might issue an injunction of some sort. He must rule by Tuesday.
A nondriver's ID from PennDOT is free. It requires a Social Security card, a birth certificate with a raised seal, and two documents proving residence. Applicants also can use a passport or certificate of citizenship, said Jan McKnight, a PennDOT spokeswoman.
The Department of State required two documents proving residence but eliminated that requirement this week. A registered voter can get the Department of State card without any documents by providing name, address, date of birth and a Social Security number, McKnight said. Those are cross-checked in databases, officials said.
"The voter ID law has been a moving target with frequent changes in procedures and now a brand new type of ID," said Sharon Ward, director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
The policy center in a joint project with the Service Employees International Union visited 44 licensing centers and concluded voters are receiving little information about the new form of identification and in some cases were discouraged from seeking a Department of State ID.
"The commonwealth is still falling short when it comes to ensuring that voters have access to free ID," Ward said.
PennDOT customer service representatives initially encouraged people to get the more secure form of ID, McKnight said. She noted the survey was done in September only shortly after the Department of State cards were created. Workers now offer the Department of State cards first, McKnight said.
A study by a Swarthmore College professor for Senate Democrats released on Wednesday found 4 percent of voters did not have photo ID. Keith Reeves, director of the Center for Social and Policy studies, conducted a survey of 277 voters at Philadelphia precincts in the April primary when photo ID was optional.

CLEVELAND -- Police have arrested a woman for stabbing her husband following an argument after returning from the bar.
Police responded to the West 89th Street home where they saw a car coming out of the driveway, then back into the driveway, pinning a woman between the house and the car.
When police ordered the driver out of they car, they found him covered in blood. He was placed in handcuffs and the car was moved, freeing the woman.
Police investigation reveals the married couple argued with each other on the way home from a bar.
The husband, Nicholas Taylor, 27, says his wife, Samantha Yonts, 26, was punching and slapping him. She also smashed things in the car.
When they arrived at home, Yonts locked her husband out of the house. She did eventually let him in, where she began to assault him again.
When Taylor attempted to leave, Yonts followed after him, stabbing him in the arm and leg. That's when the victim drove off until he saw police. He put the car in reverse and accidentally hit his wife.
Yonts refused medical treatment and was placed under arrest.
Taylor was treated at MetroHealth Medical Center and has since been released.

Well, I always liked programming, but I've never been committed or tied to any real project. I learned some autoit, some c#, some html and css. Now I've been hired as apprentice as programmer by an IT firm and I find hard times to understand the whole thing.
They use a mix of C#, T-SQL, html, php, javascript, ASP and a lot of other things. I am missing the whole thing. I have to do C# programs that connects databases and synchronize data between them. But there is always some kind of problem with that effin SQL. They use SQL management studio to put up their servers and that buggy piece of "software" by microsoft has 10212020 options, problems, dynamics and so on.
EXAMPLE: I'll highlight in bold every technology or object I needed to link togheter or Had to/Hadn't to get togheter
But the most frustrating thing is that I don't know enough. Every technology has tons of other ways to interface with others and to be configured and they expect me to know it. For example last week they expected me to know how to use C# to make a Http webrequest to consume a wsdl webservice with soap to get in response a long XML string which contained some orders made by another firm. Then I had to parse that string in DataTables and Datasets using LINQ because it's faster and "easier" (NO) than XmlReaders with Xpath. After that I had to make Stored Procedures in T-SQL to elaborate those orders and avoid duplicates after loading them into the database with various SqlCommand, SqlConnection, DataAdapters, Connection strings and so on.
And every time it's something like this. For doing something you have to know how to use multiple technologies and become crazy because they have to set up 1000 settings or you'll get some weird Exception (Encoding, Comparing settings, blah blah blah).
It seems too wide and too big for me. I don't know If I can do it. Until today, by documenting myself I managed to do the job in some way or with the help of workmates (and I'm thankful to them for teaching me). But there is just too much to know. A project can become big in a few minutes.
In 1 month and half I had to mix what I already knew and get documented about:
-Hardware specifics -Hardware settings -Hardware pieces of all kinds -All kind of sql weird behaviours, best pratices,strange settings -C# weird casting rules -C# thousands of objects you must use to accomplish even the simplest task -html -Weird and less used languages like Zebra language or Arduino (which is C-like) -Old and new technologies, like serial ports, MAC/linux systems (always been on windows), iOS 7 -A good way to interface different technologies (see the examle I made before, If it was for me, I would have done in a whole different way...)
and the list could keep going for a long time, because I had to learn just too much. It's right for a programmer to have to know all of this? I think it's just too much for me or I'm just too stupid for it... I'm thinking to get another job, this is becoming too much of a stress and it seems to me that I'll never get "the whole design of the thing", meaning a clear idea of what I'm using or doing.
What do you think? Have you felt the same way? Should I keep going? I feel sorry and ashamed I had to rely many times on my workmates or to have to google for everything...

Kitty Foxx Information
Kitty Fox was born on February 26, 1942, in a small rural town in southern Illinois. She went to school there and graduated from high school in 1960. After attending college she met her only husband in 1964. They have been married for 40 years. She has one daughter and two granddaughters. They moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1978 and she worked as a beautician until 1983, at which time she became a topless showgirl in a show on the Las Vegas Strip.
In 1989 Kitty Fox appeared in a nude photo layout in a men's magazine. She was asked if she would be interested in being in a porno movie the following year and she jumped at the chance, and debuted in "Nympho Heaven". She loved having sex in the movies so much that she quickly decided to be a porno actress for as long as men would desire to have her. Kitty and her husband have been "swingers" for 39 years and she figured that she must have had sex with more than 15,000 men during that time. She is a publisher of "Over 50" Magazine and appears in the magazine in every issue.
Porn Star Kitty Fox gives new meaning to the term 'older and bolder.' She's a lusty dirty blonde who got into porn in the early 90's and found herself wild about on-
screen sex. She looks like the dowdy widow next door or the local teacher's union rep, but when the clothes come off and the action heats up, Kitty Fox proves herself to be as hot as any starlet half her age.
Kitty Fox's first hardcore appearance was in 1992's 'Big Murray's New-
Cummers 2: Las Vegas Swingers,' where Kitty Fox strutted her swinging stuff for the benefit of a very appreciative audience. From there, Kitty Fox went on to star in a series of sexy flicks that have usually found her at the bottom of a pile of much younger male flesh. She loves oral sex and black men, and most every film she's in can be counted on for some interracial cavorting from this lusty older lady. Kitty Fox's Christmas bonus gang bang in 'Kitty Fox's Kinky Kapers 2' and her group grope in 'Kitty Fox's Kinky Capers' show her at her absolute nastiest. Or for a taste of Kitty Fox in a slightly more subdued role, check out her wild salt-
pepper three-
some in 'Kitty Fox's Kinky Kapers 2.'
Kitty Fox has proven to be one of the top older women ever to appear in porn, and her insatiable lust for wild sexing seems to be in no danger of flagging at any time soon. Fans of older women or just plain old sexual heat will want to check out this wanton woman with the nasty glint in her dark eyes.

I love how an article about TV channels, and the cable business, turns into a pissing match between a conservative and liberal, where they demonstrate how moronic and juvenile they both are because they can't tolerate that others have opinions that differ from their own. Have your own minds boys, stopping believing everything you hear on TV, reject the desire to be identified by where you get your news.

Maybe I'm just an old fogey, but I've tried several different IDEs in the past (tho not yet eclipse) and just never found them to be that useful over and above using VIM for editting code and
for building. I would be interested to hear from various members of JavaRanch exactly what drove you to using an IDE, or (if you're like me) what is keeping you from using an IDE.

code organisation.
And code completion, syntax highlighting, on-demand help, integrated debuggers (well...), etc. etc. all help increase productivity.

Refactoring and automatic highlighting of syntax and classpath errors are what do it for me.

Hi Lanny,
I switched because of remote debugging and refactoring. I'd been using Emacs for 12+ years before making the switch. As I said in another thred the first week I was frustrated the second week I was a little less. By the fourth I was not going back.
My suggestion is to download Eclipse. Use it for a week. If you hate it, go back to VIM if you don't hate it but its tollerable then go on for a month. If you still don't feel productive go back to VIM. All the hype and stuff is irrelevant. You should use what is most productive for you.
TTFN,

Honestly, in
- its because I haven't found a good IDE that I like. I tried Cafe a few years back and hated it. I just loaded WSAD 5.1 on my box at work since that's what we use - hate it. I used to use JBuilder and it was alright at the time - I haven't tried it lately. I'm still using Textpad.
I did download Eclipse late last week and am finding that it is much better than whatever IBM did with it to turn it into WSAD. (Try just opening a .java file in WSAD?)
I'm typically all about IDEs if they are good ones - its just hard to find a good one. Eclipse seems to be pretty robust, so I'm starting to play with it more since I'm getting back into java with this new job (and thus how I found this site!)

To me two of the biggest productivity enhancements are color syntax highlighting (available in vim) and code completion. Closely following those in importance is error highlighting. I no longer wait till compile time to see syntax errors.
When it comes to debugging I think being able to instantly check values and easily navigate through containers is a huge help. Navigating complex data structures can be difficult without the assistance of an IDE.
I still use vim for small tasks but when it comes to significant development I have found that IDEs offer some true benefits.
My favorite IDE was Together ControlCenter but since Together sold to Borland the product has fallen apart. Eclipse is what I use now and I am quite happy.

Peer pressure.
We were doing some pair programming and my teammates laughed at me when we'd work on my machine using vi. They helped me get setup with eclipse ... I've never regretted it and wouldn't go back.

I guess remote debugging, pattern-directed development and powerful refactoring features are the main drivers for me. I have converged on Eclipse after having tried a number of IDEs, mainly because it has the right extensible architecture, UI and level of intrusiveness (or non-intrusiveness for that matter).

Integration with various other tools like Clearcase and the like, in addition to save/edit-time compile, code formatting, code completion and refactoring.

Yes, there is a whole chapter on running & debugging java apps (chap 3).
There is also a column that I did for JDJ
Hope this helps!

requires a user/pass to the eclipse dev site
How about the link to JDJ?
Remote debugging is great, sure, but even for local debugging you save so much time with an IDE. Hey, Lanny did you ever try to use jdb?
In any case an IDE is great for all the above reasons mentioned but the caption of this forum still reads
real programmers use vi
But let not your heart be troubled there's a
available for Eclipse

For me, I moved to an IDE from simple text editors the first time I saw that I didn't have to save the file, switch to another window/session and type javac only to discover that I missed a semicolon - the editor told me long before I tried to save.
What sold me on a particular editor? I was taught XP programming using Visual Age for Java (precursor to Eclipse). The refactoring and debugging tools ensured I would never go back to something simpler again.

I've used several (JBuilder, Sun One Studio, Java Cafe...), but always preferred JEdit. Recently switched to Eclipse (only one week so far, but I'm still sold on it). Here are some of the factors that influence me:
1) I like JEdit because it increases your productivity without getting in your way. If you've edited some java code with some other editor, nothing stops you from opening that file in JEdit and doctoring it a little more in JEdit. You can then subsequently open it in the other editor again if you like. With Eclipse, a file needs to be a part of a project, but that is a simple matter and doesn't seem to get in your way. And the java file is still stored just like any other file on your hard drive, albeit in a specified directory structure.
2) Eclipse seems to be an attempt to avoid vendor lock-in, kind of like
. You can build or purchase/download plug-ins to Eclipse from competing vendors, and Eclipse does not attempt to hide your work in proprietary file formats, so you are always free to just get rid of Eclipse if you change your mind about it.
3) Simple, intuitive interface. But not too simple. "Everything should be made as simple as possible but no simpler." I love that old adage, and Eclipse seems to embody it perfectly.
4) Excellent help and tutorials included right inside the IDE.
5) Nice looking interface - just looking at it makes your mouth water and your mouse hand twitch.
6) Minimal keystrokes and mouse gestures. Everything seems to be just a click or two away from wherever you are.
7) Integration with other defacto standard products, like Ant.
I guess that's enough blabbing for now, since I haven't even used any of its advanced features yet. There used to be a free version of TogetherJ, called whiteboard or something like that. That was a very nice tool as well. Eclipse still seems to be a little weak on the higher level modeling and code generation front. (Or is it just that I haven't discovered that yet after only one week of use?) I wish they had some stuff like the old TogetherJ whiteboard. But I know they are working on that kind of thing (forgot the name of the project, but they are experimenting with some very practical and very cool higher level modeling ideas). For my money, the lesson is to avoid following the example of Rational Rose - that is, avoid trying to jump to code Utopia in a single leap. Instead, start out with a straightforward non-vendor-lockin tool, like Eclipse, and then just keep adding higher level modeling and automatic code generation features until you end up with something that is, in addition to being abstract and powerful, also something that mere mortals can use and understand. From what I've seen so far, Eclipse is hitting the bullseye.
I agree. Here's the link:

One hot Thursday afternoon in Black Rock City, Root and I stopped at Center Camp to catch some shade. We lucked out; the first Jamaican reggae band to ever play Burning Man was on stage, and people were getting down. I danced by the stage while she hung out in the front row. There's nothing better than the ecstasy on dusty faces when a live band breaks through the week-long fog of indistinguishable DJ sets.
The band finished playing, and we all rejoiced. Wiped out, I sat down next to Root to watch the next act, a couple of lawyers dressed like ancient Egyptians who were there to tell us how to deal with law enforcement on the playa. That sounded useful.
After all, it had been a big year for run-ins with law enforcement on the playa. We had read plenty of stories about severe and surprising busts in the run-up to Burning Man, and we heard more tales of woe from friends after we arrived. The Bureau of Land Management had insisted on tighter control at the gate. It seemed like a good year to brush up on our rights.
For a while, this talk felt righteous. We were becoming better citizens. But the conversation gradually turned toward philosophical pronouncements, indignant rants, and wild warnings about undercover narcs. "This is a little too us-versus-them for my taste," Root said to me. "Plus, I'm getting kind of paranoid about there being cops everywhere. Aren't you?"
I sure was. So we hopped up off our floor cushion, hoisted our packs, and stepped out of Center Camp into the afternoon heat, only to be greeted by an enormous convoy of federal agents in SUVs with their lights flashing, rolling right through the middle of Black Rock City.

Organic produce sales continue to climb. The benefits they offer may be up for dispute, but its clear that consumers recognize organics exist.
Organic produce has been getting a lot of "face" time in the media recently. Recent research into the health benefits of organic food caught the attention of newspapers and broadcasts nationwide. The coverage sparked some heated debates between advocates on either side of the abyss, leaving consumers standing in the produce department second-guessing their purchasing decisions.
The culprit was a paper written by a team at Stanford University discussing an analysis of existing studies that compared organic and conventional foods. The results stated that organic foods did not offer more nutritional value or fewer health risks than conventional.
The response from observers in the produce industry was simple: "Yes, we know."
The paper misses the point entirely, says Addie Pobst, import coordinator and food safety officer for CF Fresh, based in Sedro-Woolley, Wash. "We have never promoted organics as being more nutritious; that is not what it is about. The industry states that it could be better for you because it reduces your exposure to pesticides, but there has never been an argument that there are more vitamins in organic than conventional."
The study's methodology itself received criticism. The findings implied that there is no health benefit to eating organic over conventional, which, according to many observers, is not accurate. "It seems to make sense on the surface, but the studies fail to consider a significant variable—the conventional product has been subjected to pesticide use throughout its growing cycle," says Simcha Weinstein, director of marketing at Albert's Organics, based in Bridgeport, N.J. "It is troubling that pesticides on fruits and vegetables are not viewed as part of the nutritional make-up of these foods."
The findings came at a pivotal time period. Consumers bombarded with healthy eating initiatives are paying more attention to their health and, therefore, the produce department. The organic produce segment had shown consistent growth for the past ten years, with 12.2% growth in 2011 alone.
According to Barbara Haumann, spokesperson for the Organic Trade Association, based in Brattleboro, Vt., consumers are most motivated to choose organic over conventional to avoid exposure to pesticides. "Consumers indicate that they seek organic products because they are produced without toxic and persistent synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, as well as without the use of antibiotics and synthetic hormones."
Observers predict the growth to continue. Focusing on the apple category in particular, Paul Newman, head of organic sales for Oneonta Starr Ranch Growers, based in Wenatchee, Wash., expects to see a shift in the demand for certain varieties as the category approaches a new pressure level. Retailers will have to continue to reevaluate their offerings—organic and not—to meet consumers' ever changing demands.
"It is similar to what we see on the conventional side," Newman says. "Not every package or size or grade has an easy placement in the organic category. For example, the 2 1/4-inch poly bag domestically is not always an easy sell for organic, and the 36- and 48-size Fujis and Honeycrisps was a tougher sell this year—they are big apples and consumers see the high ring at the register and it freaks them out."
Oneonta Starr jumped into the organic sector this past year through a partnership with Columbia Valley Fruit. The movement has been on the grower's radar for a while; Oneonta wanted to become a one-stop shop for its customers that sell both conventional and organic products. "We want to give retailers the opportunity to pick up the full package," says Newman. "It is not different than what our grocery stores have to do. They do not want customers going across the street for one item; he or she might see something else that dazzles than and the next thing they know, they have lost a customer."
Another category still showing growth is organic bagged salads. As a whole the bagged salad category has been down, yet the organic segment continues to grow, says John Burge, vice president of sales and marketing for Classic Salads, based in Watsonville, Calif.
Why they buy
Environmental concerns play a strong role in consumers' organic purchasing decisions. Organic shoppers tend to prioritize environmental and social issues more than conventional shoppers, say observers.
Most organic shoppers know that buying organic means they are supporting the environment and better working and living conditions for the farmers, says Mayra Velazquez de Leon, president of Organics Unlimited. Officials for the San Diego-based company say they see a tremendous interest in its GROW label and Fair Trade label, both of which support the workers and communities where they are growing fruit. "The elimination of strong chemicals in the growing process means it is safer for workers and more sustainable for the earth," she adds.
Promoting organic produce does not require a magic formula. Bil Goldfield, communications manager for Dole Fresh Fruit, based in Westlake Village, Calif., says many of the selling strategies that work with conventional bananas are also successful with organic bananas. This could include single-fruit displays and placing bananas at checkout.
"We rely on consumers' passion for organic bananas. We do not actively tout the benefits of organic bananas over conventional, especially since both varieties are often side-by-side," says Goldfield.
Todd Linsky, vice president of organic sales for Grimmway Farms, based in Bakersfield, Calif. agrees. "We do not prescribe to the theory of finger-pointing to organic versus conventional. It is really up to personal choice. At the end of the day, I firmly believe that if someone eats a conventional apple or an organic apple, the fact that they are eating an apple is really the goal for all of us."
The who of it
Who is the organic shopper? It is a question the industry is continuously re-evaluating. Observers agree on one thing: the organic shopper is someone who cares. Organic consumers care about their personal health, as well as a range of social, environmental and sustainability issues.
"We are seeing a return to the roots of the organic and natural foods movement, where the focus is on future generations and creating a sustainable food system for generations to come," says Weinstein, adding that this will likely be a driving force moving people to buy organic. "It is about the collective good of our society."
Location plays a major role. Sales show there is a higher concentration of organic shoppers on both the East and West coasts. Although there are urban pockets throughout the country that do well, says Burge.
Organic produce companies are working towards boosting penetration market by market. "Retailers in the middle of the country recognize there is a demand for organic produce, and the industry has worked its way into major chains in the Midwest and the South, but there is not a lot of consumer takeaway for those stores—the velocity is not the same as it is in New York or San Francisco," says Burge.
Being present in major stores will have an influence, he adds, especially among younger demographics. "If retailers and growers advertise to this clientele, they will catch them."
Pobst agrees that there is a strong association among younger age groups, especially students. People tend to associate fresh fruits snacks with a healthy, younger, active shopper, she says. "Organic as a category appeals to younger consumers, as well as the family demographic, partly because of the ecological consciousness that goes along with the organic movement."
How can organics expand? It is about making organics available, and affordable. "What we have worked hard at is simply to make sure organic products are actually organic and bringing them to more mainstream markets with more pricing purity," Pobst says. "Once they make that first step to buy a few organic items, they tend to buy more over time and become very loyal customers."
With fruit on top
Fresh fruit is at the top of snack list. According to research conducted by The NPD Group, a global information company, fresh fruit is the top snack food consumed in America—and the fastest growing. The report attributes fruit's popularity to consumers' concerns about health and eating right, as well as its versatility to be eaten at all times of the day. Fruit beat out chocolate and potato chips, the second and third place contestants.
The NPD Group found that while fruit is popular among all ages, the over-65 and children under-12 age groups eat the most fruit. Many of these consumers are choosing organic products, say industry observers, especially moms.
"Parents' strongest motivating factor to buy organic products is the belief that 'they are healthier for me and my children,' and in an effort to maintain their health, families are increasing looking to fruits and vegetables," says Barbara Haumann, spokesperson for the Organic Trade Association, based in Brattleboro, Vt. "Parents do, however, indicate that if an organic produce item is not available, many of them would still buy produce, either substituting the conventional version of the desired item or by choosing an alternative organic fruit or vegetable."

TV commercials might have you believe a new tie, a car, or a case of beer is the best gift you can give dad this Father's Day. What he might want most is some time off from work, according to a recent CareerBuilder survey.
Like working moms, dads who work outside the home have to find time to be with their families and still fulfill their usual workplace duties. If you're a working parent, you might want to be at your children's recital, but you can't exactly leave in the middle of an important work dinner where you're about to sign a deal with a client. Either work or your personal life has to suffer to some degree, and it's not easy to know when one deserves more attention than the other.

It's hard to find anyone who doesn't think a vacation is a good thing. Beyond getting to explore different parts of the country or the world, vacations have been shown to improve mental health, prevent job burnout and even enhance creativity. Yet if you're guilty of ending the year without using most of your vacation days, you're not alone — at least among your peers. Your boss, however, might be a different story.

College students pick their major for any number of reasons — interest in a particular field of study, ability to get a job post-graduation, amount of education or training needed and more. Another factor students often consider is how much they might earn once they enter the workforce. While it's hard to imagine that any student would actively seek a low-paying major, some students may weigh salary more heavily than others when deciding on a degree.

The summer movie season is kicking off, and the first big blockbuster to open is "The Avengers." It brings together some of Marvel Comics' biggest superheroes into one movie for a battle royale between a demigod and his alien cohorts. Chances are you haven't encountered a master assassin at your office potluck, because comic-book stories aren't usually ripped from the headlines. However, the personality types on display in "The Avengers" are probably not that far off from the volatile and larger-than-life people you encounter — or hide from — at the office.

The corner office isn't where most of us sit (if we get to sit at all on the job). For the average worker, senior leadership positions are difficult to come by and something you spend much of your career working toward. That is if you even want a leadership role — not everyone strives for the responsibility and headaches that come with the position. But for those workers hoping to land an executive role, the outlook is brighter today than it was six months ago.
In the coming six months, 31 percent of employers plan to hire for executive-level positions, finds a new survey from CareerBuilder and Headhunter.com. This is 6 percent higher than the same survey found in October 2011.

After years of disappointing employment news, it looks like the job market has finally made a definitive turn in the right direction.
Over the past three months, the economy has added 721,000 jobs, or an average of 245,000 jobs per month, marking one of the greatest periods of job growth since before the recession. Additionally, in the six-month period from August 2011 to March 2012, the unemployment rate fell 0.8 percent. The current unemployment rate, 8.3 percent, is the lowest it's been in three years.
So where are all of these new jobs coming from? Here's a look at six occupations that are currently in high demand.

If you had a time machine, would you travel into the future to see what's in store for you 10, 20 or 30 years from now? Or would you rather travel back in time, perhaps right after college graduation, to fix a mistake you made or take another path in life?

As long as people both have jobs and Twitter accounts, we will have something to blog about. That's because, no matter how many ill-fated tweeters go before them, there are still people in the world that don't seem to realize that Twitter is a public forum until their boss reads their "My boss is an idiot" post.
As an exercise in how to kill your career in 140 characters or less, we decided to search the words "job" and "boss" on Twitter, and see what came up. We didn't have to look too hard to find these 10 tweets, all of which appeared in our first 50 search results, and all of which have pink-slip potential.

When the recession began, the question that popped up repeatedly was, "Can I find a job in this economy?" Then, for those fortunate enough to be offered a position, the question often became, "Should I take a job even if it's a step down from my last role?"

Aztec gets a big chance to prove it is still a force to be reckoned with in 4A in a top 10 matchup tonight.
The No. 6 Tigers (2-3) host No. 9 St. Pius X (3-3) tonight in Aztec's final non-league game of the regular season.
"St. Pius is a great football team and it will be a big test for us to see where we are as a team and to see how we are continually growing as a team," said Aztec head coach Matt Steinfeldt after the team's 57-17 win against Del Norte last week.
After falling at home to No. 8 Farmington by eight points a week ago, the Sartans will be fired up to travel to Aztec to face another District 1-4A team in the top 10.
Farmington was successful forcing St. Pius turnovers and limiting the running game of both Sartan quarterbacks.
Tonight will be another good test for Aztec's run defense that has improved each week of the season so far.
Aztec has traditionally had no problem scoring on St. Pius. As the Tigers' offense continues to grow together as a unit, quarterback Adam Lucero is finding more time to throw from the pocket.
Aztec's running game has also improved each week with credit going to the offensive line for creating some holes.
Lucero has plenty of weapons to throw to, whether it is Brad Hardin split out wide or Cody Rinerson and Ryneal Lewis-Adams out of the slot and backfield.
If Aztec's offense can generate some early momentum, the familiar feeling of beating the Sartans should set in as the defending 4A state champion Tigers look for their first back-to-back wins of the 2012 season.
Lucero still believes this Tiger team can repeat as champions despite their rocky start. He knows the team will have to win its final four games and win district to earn a good playoff seed, and it all starts with a win tonight in the second to last home game of the year.
"I still firmly believe we are the best team in the state," Lucero said. "The goal hasn't changed. We are going out there to try to win state. Going into the playoffs we want to be 6-3, and I know we can do it."
No. 8 Farmington at 3A No. 5 Bloomfield
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Bobcat Stadium
Listen live: 1390 am
What to watch: Fresh off a big road win in Albuquerque, the Scorpions are ready to extend their winning streak to three games down the highway in Bloomfield tonight.
But the Bobcats won't go down easy tonight.
Bloomfield struggled against Farmington during District 1-4A games in recent years, but the young Bobcats are growing every week just like the Scorpions.
Bloomfield has hung tough with 4A competition such as Grants and Miyamura this year, but sporadic mistakes have hurt the Bobcats' chance to win.
At 2-3, Bloomfield is hoping to follow a loss to Miyamura with a win this week, just as it has all season.
"We have won and lost and won and lost. It has been going back and forth like that. But we are playing good teams and coming up short in the end," said Bobcats head coach Bruce Hatch. "We play a good Farmington team this week."
Farmington head coach Gary Bradley knows the Scorps can't get caught looking ahead to District 1-4A games just yet.
"We won't look past Bloomfield. They are always tough to play," Bradley said. "They have some great athletes we can't look past."
Farmington is trying to move to 5-2 overall and the Scorps need to make sure they get a win because they know every district game will be tough with Aztec and Piedra Vista both in the top 10.
Look for the Scorps to get the running game going early while Bloomfield will stay balanced out of the spread shotgun.
If Bobcats quarterback Bobby Lyon can find a way to make some plays against the Scorps' tough secondary, it could be a tight contest in Bloomfield.
No. 25 Capital at No. 18 Kirtland Central
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Bronco Stadium
What to watch: Homecoming night in Kirtland should be a joyous occasion for the Bronco faithful.
No. 18 Kirtland, fresh off of two consecutive wins, hosts 0-5 Capital, the lowest ranked team in New Mexico 4A football.
In fact, the Jaguars from Santa Fe have scored only three points all season, coming last week against 3A St. Michael's.
Meanwhile, Capital has allowed 229 points to opposing teams such as Clovis, Valley, Gallup and Robertson.
Gallup beat Capital 35-0, so if you believe in comparing scores, this one weighs heavily in favor of Kirtland after the Broncos beat the Bengals 28-20 a week ago in Kirtland Centrals' home opener.
Though it doesn't make sense to have a homecoming game after hosting a home game the week before, the Broncos should expect a big win in this one.
Kirtland's defense will look for its second shutout of the season tonight as the Broncos look to improve to 3-3 overall this season,
After three dissappointing losses to begin the year, the Broncos have found great success in the running game behind backs Jerrid Smtih, Alex Kamae and Rashaan Sorrelhorse.
No. 13 Shiprock at Questa
When: 2 p.m., Saturday
Where: Questa
What to watch: A long road trip awaits the Shiprock Chieftains, and it will be a longer one home if the Chieftains can't beat 1A Questa.
Questa (2-1) is facing its toughest opponent of the season in Shiprock (3-2). Questa is riding a two-game win streak with victories over Cuba and Dulce, but Shiprock has had two weeks to prepare for the Wildcats.
Chieftains head coach Don Story has been thrilled with the production of Hiram Gleason, who has bee unstoppable at times this season.
Whether Gleason is coming out of the backfield or out wide catching passes, Questa will have a long day trying to contain him.
Adam Begaye has thrown the ball well this year at quarterback for Shiprock, but Gleason and halfback Alex Benally have also been effective throwing half back passes for touchdowns.
Wesley Martin, Tristan Mike and Collin Begay have all run the ball with authority as well, and Story expects to have at least one more weapon back in the lineup when a player returns from academic ineligibility this week.
Story knows this is a big two week stretch for the Chieftains, who travel a long way to Escalante again next week before beginning District 1-3A games.
Every win the rest of the way is crucial for Shiprock if they want to make the state playoffs, but winning the district over Wingate, Thoreau and Bloomfield still figures to be the only way Shiprock reaches the state tournament for a third consecutive season.

"How to Change the World: Lessons for Entrepreneurs from Activists"
by Adam Kahane
It's a question that keep us folks here at worldchanging awake late at night scratching our heads, burning the proverbial candle at both ends. How to change the world? Inspiration comes from a friend, Adam Kahane (Generon Consulting), who as he describes it, has been "commuting between two very different worlds: the world of entrepreneurs and the world of activists."
Asking himself the questions:
"How can we change the world? How can we make an impact for the better? How can we influence the future? And the question I want to focus on here, how does all this relate to business?"
Adam has penned a wonderful little article, which outlines his experiences over the last 14 years working on a bunch of things including civic scenario projects from South Africa to Guatamala, talking to politicians and guerillas, civil servants and community leaders, trade unionists and clergymen.
A taste:
"The people I have met who are most effective at changing the world have two qualities. On the one hand, they are extraordinarily committed, body and soul, to the change they want to see in the world, to a goal larger than themselves. On the other hand, they are extraordinarily open to listening to what is happening in the world, in others, and in themselves. Do you know the joke, How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change? My paradoxical conclusion is that to change the world, you both have to be committed to changing it and be able to listen to how it wants to change."
Take it away Adam.
"Let me summarize with a story about a rabbi who, like me, set out to change the world. He found that he wasnt making much progress, so he tried to change his country. This was also too difficult, so he tried to change his neighborhood. When he didnt have success there, he tried to change his family. Even that was easier said than done, so he tried to change himself. Then
an interesting thing happened. When he had changed himself, his family changed. And when his family changed, his neighborhood changed. When his neighborhood changed, his country changed. And when his country changed, the world changed."
I've known Adam since the mid-90s, when he was involved with GBN. He worked on a set of scenarios in South Africa which were the first articulation of what a peaceful transition from Apartheid might look like. He knows what it means to try to change the world.
Made me think of this:
Changing the World
By Danny Hillis
"Like much of my generation, I grew up believing that I should try to "change the world," presumably for the better. But I didn't know how to do this. Looking at how other people have changed the world I concluded there are five ways of doing it: Some people change the world by imposing their will on it. Some people change the world by discovering a truth. Some people change the world by changing people's minds. Some people change the world by creating things of great beauty. Some people change the world by making new tools for change.
"Although I can admire all of these, the last mode of changing the world is the one that appeals to me the most. As a dramatic example of changing the world by making new tools, I include the creation of the Internet. I would also list something like building the rural credit system in Bangladesh as another example. Changing the world in this way can involve changing people's minds, and can entail imposing one's will to some extent, but it is mostly about enabling other people to changeby giving them tools to do so. This feels like progress.
"The other appeal of tool creating is that change brought about this way is self-sustaining and self-correcting. By self-sustaining, I mean you can use tools to make other new tools. This gives enabling tools a self-amplifying effect that can gain importance with time. I like that. I feel this is a very different way to change the world from trying to impose your will on it, because when you do that the world tends to snap back after you stop trying, or after you leave. Also, enabling change through tools is self-correcting. People who try to change the world by imposing their will on it often cause unintended harm, because the consequences of the change are hard to predict. When the beneficiaries control the change themselves, they have a lot more opportunity for feedback. Thus, change of this sort has a better chance of being good.
"I still want to change the world, but now I know how I want to do it: by making new tools for change."
Yeah but Disney? Really now! ;-)

Ride Rodeos and boot size
Got my eye on a pair of lightly used rodeos...only catch is they're size medium. I have a size 10.5 boot but they are the burton rulers which supposedly have "shrinkage technology" reducing the size by one boot size...anybody have any experience with these in collaboration? Or can give me an idea of how "roomy" rides are?

What does QB Kyle Orton's absence on the first day of the offseason workout program mean for the Cowboys?
Kyle Orton's absence from the first day of the offseason workout program raises a red flag for the Cowboys.
The workouts are voluntary. But sources said the backup quarterback did not inform club officials that he would fail to be at Valley Ranch with the rest of his teammates on Monday. The no-show takes on more weight given Orton's apparent flirtation with retirement this off-season and raises the question of whether this is a negotiating ploy.
David Dunn represents Orton. He told reporters at the NFL meetings last month that his client would play in 2014 and there was never any consideration given to retirement. Stephen Jones, the Cowboys chief operating officer, said during those meetings that Orton was under contract and the club was operating under the assumption that the quarterback would return.
Orton is set to enter the final year of a three-year contract that pays him $3.25 million in 2014. If Orton, who is 31, does not intend to retire, his lack of contact with club officials leading up to the opening of this opening phase suggests he wants to renegotiate.
Orton is the backup for a starting quarterback in Tony Romo who has had two back surgeries in the past year. He threw for 358 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the season ending loss to Philadelphia.
"Kyle is under contract and we feel very good about him as our backup quarterback,'' Jason Garrett said more than three weeks ago when asked about Orton's status. "He's under contract. And we're excited to get him back here in the spring.''
Orton is not subject to any fines unless he misses the team's mandatory mini-camp in June.

City Council Approves Contract for Roof Replacements
Posted By News On November 3, 2010 @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Knoxville City Council awarded a contract for roof resurfacing of the City Hall and Recreation Center at their meeting Monday. The $148,824.70 contract went to Koopman Construction of Pella. A total of $177,000 was included in the General Obligation Bond Issue, with Koopman's bid coming in under the estimate by $28,175.30. City Manager Dick Schrad says both roofs are many years old and they were starting to see serious problems with water leakage in parts of the buildings. Schrad says installation of the new membrane roofs will hopefully begin within the next few weeks.

A companion report on printed silicon will also be released in September. The
reports may be obtained individually or as a set.
About the Report:
Nanocrystalline silicon materials have long been seen as having significant
advantages in both the electronics and solar industries because of their relatively
high electron mobility, absorption qualities and stability as well as the ease
with which they can be deposited. These materials seem to be well positioned
to provide some short-term performance improvements that could easily translate
into new business revenues. Nanocrystalline silicon also offers a means to easily
improve performance and scalability of computer memories without derailing the
silicon-based status quo.
Beyond that lies a promise of other opportunities, not just for nanocrystalline
silicon but also for silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures, especially quantum
dots. Besides solar and memory applications, other areas in which these advanced
materials have potential include thin-film transistors, lighting, and computing.
NanoMarkets was one of the first firms to recognize and analyze the potential
for nanoscale/nanoengineered silicon and we published a report on this topic
in 2007. This new report will analyze and quantify the "nanosilicon"
market in 2009 and beyond, showing how it is doing in the current difficult
economic situation and pointing to where the use of silicon nanomaterials and
structures can still produce profits. This report covers the whole range of
nanosilicon applications that are likely to yield significant market opportunities
in the next eight years. As with all NanoMarkets reports it includes an eight-year
forecast of revenues from silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures and a discussion
of the product/market strategies of the leading firms active in this space.

I'm not sure why you are dumbfounded as Apple had clearly stated what the scope of this update is or was. The goal was improvements to the core of the OS with little touched upon with respect to the user interface. This is what they said they would do and it is what we got.
As to the issue of reading the screen do understand I understand your plight. I'm at that point in life where every eye exam is bad news. However I'm not sure where some of your expectations come from. Mac OS/X is not Windows and grew out of a totally different development path.
In any event I Suspect that Apple really needed to get the technology in Snow Leopard in place before they started to overhaul Cocao and bring resolution independence to Quartz. I hate to say it but it is likely to be another 18 months before resolution independence hits. That is an if too because I don't know what Apple has planned for the next release.
The only solution Apple has right now is Universal Access which I'm assuming you have looked into. Let's just be kind and say it is a limited solution.

The pop-up was covered in snow and frozen shut.
I came across this site while searching for a solution to this problem. I don't know if they put in gravel under the popup - that will be the first thing I check in the spring.
Qwerty, you can check for gravel all you want. And there can be gravel. But the gravel won't make that pop up .....pop up!
Frozen is frozen,
Best thing you can do is get rid of the pop ups.
From what I understand, the pop ups are supposed to have a small hole to drain water into the ground if the top doesnt pop. Well if you have 2 or more 3" down spouts running into one line.....that would have to be a darn big hole to allow water from 2x3" down spouts to escape!
If you need to get your roof water away from the dwelling and patio, install a dry well.
This spring will mark 15 yrs for me doing hardscapes. And thusfar, we don't have ONE pop up under our belt......

USPS Will Slow Down Service to Save Money
Published December 5th, 2011
Loading Video...
A US Postal Service official says the agency isn't "writing off" first-class mail...just slowing it down. In North Central Florida, that means you can no longer expect next-day delivery in the area.
Instead, it will now be two to three days before you can expect any mail to come to your front door.
The postal service is planning to close 252 mail processing centers, which is expected to eliminate about 28,000 jobs across the nation. Officials say the cost-cutting is necessary because more people are using the internet for email and to pay their bills.
First class mail volume is expected to drop by almost half by the year 2020. Cuts of $20 billion are needed by 2015 in order for the postal service to be profitable.

'People helping people': West Seattle Eagles' gift for Team TracyJuly 23, 2012 at 5:04 pm | In Health, How to help, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 5 Comments
West Seattle's most prolific breast-cancer-fighting fundraiser, Tracy Dart – who as you probably know also is a 3-time survivor – just accepted a big donation from the West Seattle Eagles Auxiliary, as her Team Tracy gets ready for this year's strong>Breast Cancer 3-Day – the sixth one for her. The Eagles' Madame Trustee Kristina Todd shared the news, with the photos we're publishing here: Tracy got a check for $500, she says, explaining: "As part of their charity fundraising efforts, the ladies' auxiliary had raised the money through benefit dinners and various fundraising activities over the past year. This is a perfect example of the Eagle motto of 'people helping people' – in particular, within our neighborhood of West Seattle."
The Seattle-area 3-Day is less than two months away, September 14-16. If you'd like to donate to it via Team Tracy, just go here.)
