The newest private beta update finishes a quest and fixes some bugs! More to come!
Posted by The_Yocks on Jun 5th, 2012
So I've been busy finishing up my final year of high school so I haven't have much time to work on the game but I have been able to mess with some things and fix some bugs and I also finished up a quest and started working on a couple more!
The newest update (V0.1.10) finishes "The Holey Find" quest, also fixes a few little bugs.
The next update will add new areas and some new quests! Since I graduate next week I'll be able to work full time on the game when I'm not working (gotta keep an income going :P). I'm working on adding random drops from enemies and random drops when opening chests. I'm also adding more weapons and trying to make it so shops change inventory periodically and randomly. As of now the release date stands but if anything I may have to delay it a little bit to make up for lost time while finishing up school.
Also have you guys seen the fan made video with some gameplay of an earlier version of the public beta? If not check it out!
also don't forget to like OWaRPGG on facebook and you can also like Maniak Gaming on FB as well!
Oh yeah and I'll also be releasing more Private Beta keys on the OWaRPGG facebook page soon ;P.

Freefall from 128,000 ft.
Impressive, but Joe Kittinger was and is the man.
I remember watching that live. It was amazing seeing the silouette of a man as he began his fall, almost immediately turn into a dot in the distance and then disappear. He was moving.
Now people are looking at suits to enable people to leap from the ISS should there be a disaster and no time to send a rocket up for rescue.

This is a tough S.O.B.
Because he was wearing lululemons?
A re-entry space suit would still need heat shields and rockets to change the person's orbit. So, basically, it's a mini-capsule.

Election Poll, June 2012 Debate - New Lenox, IL
Discuss the national Election Poll, June 2012 debate in New Lenox, IL.
If the election were held tomorrow, who would get your vote?
New Lenox is voting for Romney.
1 - 10 of 10 Comments Last updated -
#1 Jun 5, 2012
The only way to get rid of what we've got now. A vote for anyone but Romney means a vote for Obama.
#2 Jun 10, 2012
It's all republicans fault that all we have to vote for is Robama or Obamney. Republicans need to take a good look in the mirror and criticize their own party and candidates instead of the "other side". Only then can the republican party outgrow the death spiral it is in now and begin to improve itself. Hopefully other true "conservatives" will wake up.
#3 Jun 11, 2012
"Ignorance", I think you are wrong per-say... When you consider the deep dive vetting each Republican POTUS candidate has now publically gone through, what you see is what you get...pretty thourough. Compare that to the vetting Obama got in 2008, and there is a vast difference. We had no idea who & what Obama was. Where as today, we definately know who & what Romney brings to the table. You might not like Romney, but you definately know who he is.
#4 Jun 11, 2012
Obama needs to go.
#5 Jun 11, 2012
Neighbor, I can't say that I am shocked about how any candidate "turned out to be." Between their prior history, and their responses in the canned debates, it's no surprise. Are you surprised? I'd say if you were surprised, you just didn't read up on the candidates. Romney hasn't changed much in the last 4 years since the '08 election and I haven't learned much more about him, especially nothing surprising. I knew what Obama was about and foresaw most of his policies/stances. I'd say the most surprised I've been has been by Obama continuing a lot of W's policies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and even going beyond in some instances. And if you think the current crop of Republican candidates were the ones that made it through "vetting", then THAT is surprising and disappointing.
#6 Jun 30, 2012
Ron Paul!!
#7 Jun 30, 2012
Don't waste your vote, he doesn't have a chance. Vote for Romney or Obama gets re-elected!
#8 Jul 1, 2012
Time for some real hope and change!
#9 Jul 3, 2012
If Ron Paul had a chance to get rid of either of these candidates that is who I still would vote for, but cannot stand this President or our Congress!!
#10 Jul 9, 2012
A better question is: Will New Lenox rise up and
reject the imposition of a black panther thug on us as congressman? Regardless of party? How is this man supposed to repesent our interests? Does
he even know where New Lenox is? Does he intend
to visit and let us ask him that question?

The main difference between above tow code snippet is that, in Case 1 : the prepare statement is going to compile everytime and new prepare statement is going to be created. While in Case 2: , after executing 1st line statement is compiled and you can use it after wards, you just need to set the value.Hope so this will clarify your doubts.Thanks and Regards,Amit Patel

I'm looking for a mountain bike for doing some beginner trail riding. I've found two different bikes that cost about the same, but I can't decide on which one. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a mountain bike for doing some beginner trail riding. I've found two different bikes that cost about the same, but I can't decide on which one. Any help would be appreciated.
Felt Compulsion 4
Hard Rocx Cambrium
ride both and see which feels better, get that one. otherwise, i say the felt.
Boy, that all depends on your needs/expectations; since they are two totally different kinds of bike. Are you a beginner with little/no bike experience? Are you a beginner with other two-wheeled background/skillsets (i.e. - moto)? Most of the people on this forum will steer you toward the hardtail. I've ridden a Felt Compulsion and really liked it; but I am a full-suspension nut. The Compulsion is a bit heavy; but if you want to ride somewhere with demanding terrain and want something that will grow your confidence fast, yet still feel like it can goad you to do more-more-more as you gain experience, then that should be your bike. If you're in an area of average terrain and don't ever feel like you'll try your hand at "anything crazy" - - and/or just want something less complex to set up and maintain, then go the hardtail route.

"Simplicate and add more lightness." William Bushnell Stout
Wow, not only are we looking at hardtail versus full-suspension, but we're also looking at what looks like a really race-bred XC bike versus an all-mountain bike with 150mm of travel. Either one will be way more than you technically *need* for beginner trail riding, and give you lots of room to grow. I guess it just depends on which direction you think you're more likely to grow in.
That said, if it were me, I'd get the Felt.

1/4 of the price? Where at?
10 bucks says the bike is going to be too big and it'll come in the mail and you won't be able to put it together yourself or will break parts trying.
Broken until next season
Felt for sure. Unless you happen to live in Norway...
If you're not sure about full suss or not, Felt has a slew of different MTB styles. I bought my kid a Felt Nine Sport. Good frame. Average components. But that's what you get for a $1000 29er HT. In hindsight, based on the more techy / demanding trails we ride here in So Cal, I wish I'd have stepped up and bought him a full suspension bike, with a higher quality component group.

What started as a friendly soccer match just south of London turned ugly when a player was given a red card and sent off the pitch for using foul langauge, which is just unnecessary and ruins everyone's good time. Wait, you say that's not enough to warrant a post? How about the fact that he returned to the field with a chainsaw and tried to cut off the hands of a rival player?
Via UNPROFESSIONAL FOUL, Anthony Lloyd, a 20-year-old sore loser, chased down the opposing player and cornered him in the bushes, cutting his chest and trying to chop off his hands. It's like The Malice At The Palace, only with power tools. And a statement from the prosecuting attorney that sounds like a pitch for a horror movie, after the jump.
Prosecutor Laura Plant told the court: "They heard an engine start and saw the defendant coming out of the bushes revving a chainsaw.
"The victim's friend ran off, leaving him cornered by the defendant."
Lloyd began thrusting the chainsaw at Mr Westwood, cutting his chest.
Ms Plant added: "He tried to chop his hands off while Mr Westwood was defending himself. He then walked off."
Unsurprising fact number 1: Lloyd had been drinking. Number 2: he has a history of drug abuse and violent behavior (this is his eighth conviction.) In fact, he is already on probation for possessing a knife.
Lloyd was sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to a drug rehab program, but surprisingly not prohibited from again watching Victory and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre back-to-back.

After you start should there be a way to change you character face by spending glimmer ? ( no Race changing ) paint , color mostly also The ability to show/hide your helmet in the tower .
Amusekus9/3/2014 10:10:34 AM PermalinkI personnel don't care, once I pick my character I will be happy with it. I would like an option to wear my helmet in the tower though. If people want to spend glimmer on looks I got no issue with it. Hopefully something they add later. Maybe they'll add it if they add more facial features.

For Singers Who Love to Dance and for Dancers Who Love to Sing
Program Description
The Country Dance and Song Society celebrates and promotes participatory dance, music, and song. There is no place where that celebration is as tangible as it is at Harmony of Song & Dance. The magic of Pinewoods Camp – nestled between two ponds and amid the pines – serves as the backdrop for the remarkable community that forms through the experience of a week of singing, dancing, and eating together. There is a space for YOU at Harmony of Song & Dance: no matter whether you have years of experience as a dancer, singer, or both; or you are new to one or more of these cherished activities, and are looking for an experience to build skills and find confidence. Here, you can take risks, find support, and be inspired; or simply relax in a beautiful place, surrounded by music and dance.
The theme of the week is community music making, based on the foundation of the riches of traditional song and dance, and the understanding that new songs and dances grow out of the old. Each staff member has deep roots in the song and dance traditions they are teaching, and their teaching reflects how these dynamic traditions are continuously evolving. Staff was all chosen for their expertise, but also for their ability to teach and nurture, as well as for their willingness to engage fully as members of the camp community.
Be part of the community at Harmony of Song & Dance: engage, be inspired, feel supported; sing, dance, and make music!
You wake up in your cabin, walk along a wooded path between tall slender pines to another cabin for your shower and ablutions. You join your greater family of singers and dancers at the dining hall for a hearty breakfast and a cup of coffee or tea. Then you climb over the wooded hill past a village of tiny cabins and down the other side to C# minor, the pavilion where your vocal coach is starting vocal warm-ups and – if needed – helping you find your vocal part. By 9:00 nearly one hundred and fifty singers are sitting on benches, and the daily 75-minute All Camp Chorale has begun.
During the Chorale, the singing staff take turns leading songs, some by ear, some from written music, some a little of both. The repertoire may include English, Canadian and Appalachian ballads; pub songs; sea shanties; gospel; and American shape note hymnody both old and new. By the end of the week, we will share a common repertoire; you may find yourself in impromptu choir with some of your fellow campers, singing your way through your favorite All-Camp Chorale songs…perhaps on one of the tree-lined paths, or on the dock, or outside of the Dining Hall. The Chorale sets the mood for your day; be engaged by the diversity of repertoire, be inspired by the expertise of the staff song leaders, and be supported by your fellow participants and other staff members. It is the daily, all-inclusive opportunity to raise your voice, together with your fellow campers. Your abilities and comfort as a singer will be met with the support you need to participate fully in the experience.
After a short break, the entire camp splits into groups for an hour of social dancing including English country, contras and squares, and a special, separate introductory session for those who are new to the dance scene.
Then swimming in the lake, jamming on the porch, visiting the bookstore, and socializing with friends old and new. And we haven't even had lunch yet.
As lunch is wrapping up, there is "Singing on the Porch" with participants taking turns leading pub type chorus songs. After lunch, classes include a potpourri of singing, instrumental music making, and dancing.
After dinner there is a concert in the cozy Camphouse, where staff members perform solo, or in small group collaboration that is always amazing, sometimes amusing. The concert is followed by the evening dance – including contra, square, and English – at C#, another pavilion, just a short walk down another lovely Pinewoods path.
The evening dance allows us to end our day as we began it – as whole camp community – this time to move together on the dance floor. Dance leaders, supported by the stellar instrumental staff, take pride in their ability to create a diverse program of dances that will engage everyone, from the most novice to the most knowledgeable. Say yes, step onto the dance floor, and be swept up in the magic.
The dance ends with a closing song, bringing the day full circle.

All-Camp Chorale: Keith Murphy & Singing Staff
The morning chorale brings the entire camp together to start the day with a 75 minute singing session where our diverse singing staff take turns leading harmony songs both by ear and from written music. The material will range from easy and fun to more challenging (and still fun!) A big sing at the end of the week will be a review of the highlights of this session. The repertoire may include American country harmony, sea songs, shape note and gospel, contemporary a cappella, and new arrangements of traditional songs from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, and beyond.
Dance Classes
This is a period of social dancing for all. Campers can choose among an English, an American, and a class for beginning dancers that includes both contra and English.
American Dance: Mary Wesley Music by: Keith Murphy, Becky Tracy: A morning dance class for all! We'll explore a wonderful variety of American social dancing, especially contras and squares but we'll also see appearances by other dance forms such as triplets, sicilian circles, chestnuts and southern "big set" dances. All experience levels are most welcome.
Joyful English Dance: Scott Higgs, Music by: Karen Axelrod, Naomi Morse, Anna Patton: Join us each morning for a sparkling array of ECD favorites, with beautiful music inspiring us to joyful dancing. Dances will be accessible to all, with special delights and nuances for skilled dancers to savor.
Intro to American & English Dance: Peter Amidon, Music by: Emily Troll, Mary Alice Amidon: We will learn the fundamentals of English and contra dancing by doing a progression of engaging dances that will teach one concept at a time, all to great, live music. This is a great class both for beginning dancers working on their dance skills and for experienced dancers interested in garnering a feast of tips, techniques and repertoire for teaching beginners.
|Swimming, Bookstore staffed
Singing on the Porch: Deirdre Murtha
Enjoy singing with others in a relaxed and beautiful setting. Simply sing along or lead a song that others can join in on, preferably with a chorus or refrain. A theme might develop, different singing styles will delight, harmonies will abound, and you might build your song repertoire by week's end. Try out a new song and sing old favorites, too.
Song Arranging: Cindy Kallet, Rani Arbo
You've found a great song in the cupboard. Now what? What other ingredients might develop its delicious flavor? In this class, we'll experiment with song-arranging recipes: what we have in the pantry to add, what needs sifting, what we might want to shop for, and when to put ingredients back on the shelf. Musical textures, grooves, tempos, motifs, color, feel -- we'll explore them all. If you've got a song you've wanted to experiment with, bring it along.
Traditional Singing Styles: Jeff Davis
Close attention will be paid to the singing styles of traditional singers such as Almeda Riddle, Horton Barker, and John Galusha (and more). The best singing is done by the best listeners. We'll be listening quite a bit, but listening to make our own singing better by using the techniques of the elders. There will be lots of copying the details of the old-time singing.
Community Chorale: Peter Amidon, Mary Alice Amidon
A daily feast of harmony singing of a wide range of songs taught by ear and from written music, some energetic gospel-style and some poignant and slow, some with harmonies taught and some with improvised harmonies, traditional songs and songs composed by folks steeped in the oral tradition, secular and sacred, old and new, all working towards that transcendent state which is unique to group harmony singing.
Morris Dancing: Adam Brown
Music by: Paul Eric Smith
We will be learning to dance the graceful and energetic Cotswold Morris with a look at Fieldtown and Bampton traditions. Our approach will be to look at mechanical, functional and stylistic elements of the stepping, figures and dance constructions... so all levels of experience are welcome. Whether you are a beginner wanting an introduction or an expert looking for refinement, there will be room to address your needs.
French Canadian Dance Tunes: Pascal Gemme
Learn all kinds of (square) Quebecois repertoire including Brandys (3/4), Galops, Jigs, Marches and straight reels with even or odd number of parts. Repertoire will be chosen according to participants interests from modern and traditional sources. Bowing and ornamentation will also be discussed and taught as well as how to incorporate the music in your own personal style.
Bright Lights and Bar Fights: Swing Harmony Singing: Naomi Morse, Anna Patton
Sing close harmony arrangements of swinging American songs from tin pan alley, jug bands, the barbershop, and the honky-tonk bar. We'll work on blend and swung rhythms and finding those inner harmonies of ragtime-y chord progressions. Recommended for singers who have experience holding their own harmony part.
Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands: Rani Arbo, Mary Alice Amidon
We will share songs from the lively and rhythmically powerful singing tradition from the Georgia Sea Islands. We'll listen to recordings of the songs to help us get a feel for the style, and learn a little about how it came to be. Like most of America's regional musical traditions, Georgia Sea Island music grew from a blend of cultures, mostly British, Southern American, and African. We'll learn songs by ear, in both unison and harmony, and enjoy some movement by playing the traditional African American play party games from the collection Step It Down. This music is very accessible, soulful and fun so come join us.
Sea Songs: Deirdre Murtha
Learn to sing sea chanteys and maritime songs...just in time for pub night! Chanteys are sailors' work songs. They were used as tools to get jobs done on both square-rigged ships of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and in fishermen's rowboats. We'll learn about their different uses and build a solid chantey repertoire (with the help of handouts) from the British, Irish, and Caribbean traditions. We'll also sing maritime-related songs (about loved ones on shore, the pressgangs, the fishing industry, and more.)
Harmony Singing: Cindy Kallet
Have you always wanted to BE a luscious sound? Harmony singing is less about hearing what's right than feeling it. We'll spend time exploring regions of discomfort as well as delight, and through theory and experimentation, gain confidence in our abilities to "land that note!"
Dance Feast: Scott Higgs
Music by: Karen Axelrod, Becky Tracy, Naomi Morse, Anna Patton
Is dancing your passion? Join us for an hour of more-challenging and varied dances. Cool contras will be our centerpiece, with assorted tasty side dishes for variety (e.g., swing, English, ceilidh). Awesome music and spirited dancing -- what could be more delectable?
Banjo: Jeff Davis
Most of the focus will be on the lesser-heard styles of, say, Frank Proffitt and Doc Boggs, traditional two and three-finger styles, thumb and index-lead. There will some clawhammer, too. Beginners welcome.
French Canadian Songs: Pascal Gemme
Come and sing your favourite French Canadian songs as well as learn a few new ones. Pascal will guide you through the most common forms of call and answer songs that we usually hear at a Quebecois veillée. Focus will be given to delivering good unison réponses to songs you've never heard before. We will also work on pronunciation, style and some harmonies that have been incorporated in the style by modern bands.
Harmony of Song & Dance in 3/4 time: Keith Murphy, Becky Tracy
Part band class, part pub sing, part dance class. We'll sing through songs in waltz time and work on quick band arrangements: "We'll start this one by playing the last 8 bars of the chorus; play the break after the third verse; double chorus at the end" If that doesn't make sense, it will at the end of the week. Might include a little waltz step tutorial, too. The songs we work on will be the basis for an all camp singing-dancing-waltz party at the end of the week. For singers and instrumentalists.
Songs from the Cecil Sharp Collection: Jeff Davis, Deirdre Murtha
Cecil Sharp started collecting folksongs in England in the first decade of the 20th century, in the U.S. ten years later, and his work makes up the largest single collection in each country. We'll investigate this massive work and compare and contrast the songs he collected on both sides of the Atlantic, from playparty games to classic ballads.
Shape Note: Peter Amidon
Simply a shape note sing, mostly from The Sacred Harp (Sacred Harp books provided), but will also include shape note tunes from other collections. We will go over parts, but some music reading ability is helpful since everything is from written music. Although the singing will be punctuated with some discussion of the history and culture of shape note singing in the United States, this is, primarily, a daily singing party of this extraordinary body of home-grown American choral music.
Rapper: Adam Brown
Music by: Pascal Gemme
This will be an introductory-level crash course on the exciting and whirling Rapper Sword Dancing. We will address stepping and body movement aspects of Rapper, but will focus more intently on the figures in order to fly through the dizzying blur of a whole dance by the end of the week. Do not be alarmed! All ages, shapes, sizes and levels of adventure are welcome and we don't expect any amputations to occur.
Guitar for Song Accompaniment: Cindy Kallet
We'll investigate various approaches to crafting a guitar arrangement for a song: strum variations, chord inversions, using the right hand and left hand selectively, transitions. We'll take examples of accompaniments and figure out if they work for the song, and why. Bring along a song!
Honing Your Harmony: Duos, Trios and Quartets: Rani Arbo
Do you ever wonder if singing harmony could feel even more glorious than it already does? In this class, we'll explore how our unique voices combine, and enjoy fine-tuning that alchemy in a supportive setting. We'll work in duos, trios and quartets, and along the way experiment with tone, pitch, energy, rhythm, phrasing, and lots of deep listening. Magic will happen! If you have a simple song to share, please bring it.

Watch your step if you purchased high heels at White House Black Market between August 2012 and Ocotober 2012. The Versailles model (cream, black and brown faux snakeskin) and the Lourdes model (black faux snakeskin with white T-strap) are being recalled because the 4-inch heels can become wiggly and cause falls. To receive a refund, return them to the store or mail them in; get more information by emailing customerservice@ whitehouseblackmarket.com, calling 877-948-2525 or going online to whitehouseblackmarket.com.
Girls could encounter a footwear problem, too, as Stuart Weitzman brand Cha Cha and Cha Cha 2 boots have been recalled. They were sold at Bloomingdale's, TJ Maxx and Zappos online from September 2011 through February 2013. The problem is that each boot has an inside zipper with big SW logo pulls, which can get tangled up with each other and cause girls to fall. To get a refund, go to synclaire.com.
And little kids can have trouble with the Imaginarium activity walker. Bolts can fall off. If they find their way into kids' mouths, it's a choking hazard.
The walkers were sold exclusively at Toys R Us stores and online from August 2011 to January 2013. You can get a refund or store credit by taking them back to the store. For more information, call 800-869-7787 or visit toysrus.com.

Why I support gun control
I admit I don't know the details, but it hardly matters: An Oakland kid just died because he was playing with a handgun.
My nephew, who has a couple of rifles and loves to go the the range and shoot at targets, calls me every now and then to tell me that "my president" -- you know, Obama -- wants to take away his guns. I tell him Obama doesn't want his guns, and I don't, either. And I'm a carnivore, so I can't even say I'm against hunting.
But I am against easy access to handguns, which really have no purpose except to kill other people. And since all the angry libertarians are going to slam me and talk about self-defense, let me remind you: The odds that your gun will kill you or someone you love are much greater than the odds that you'll ever actually use it for effective self-defense. One less handgun in Oakland might mean one more kid alive today.

Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion has struggled during the Beavers' three-game losing streak.
- Filed Under
A month ago, Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion had played his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation.
That talk has faded, and so have the Beavers' chances to contend in the Pac-12 North.
In consecutive losses to Stanford, USC and Arizona State, Mannion has thrown four touchdown passes and seven interceptions. Compare that with his 33/10 touchdown/interception ratio on the season and clearly something is amiss. ...

Saving the environment was never so much fun.
Skateboarding can be as extreme as Bruce Logan racing down a city street, connected by nothing but the front two wheels of his board at far beyond the posted speed limit, or as relaxing as gently rolling through a city park. That's the happy part. The green feet part may be a little less obvious. Quick, name a form of transportation other than walking that rivals skateboarding as the least expensive and most earth-friendly mode of transportation there is. Gravity founder and CEO Michael Bream sometimes daydreams of a better world where excessive greenhouse gases, acid rain and smog, are all things of the past. This, he realizes, could all accomplished through skateboarding. "If everyone rode skateboards to work one day a week, we would have a much cleaner, healthier world. Of course, that's just a dream, but we at Gravity encourage dreams, and with our new green technologies like Eco-Tech, Earth-Fibe, Enviro-Gripe and V-Lam we are doing our little part to move things toward that ideal state. Since 1994, fun and environmentalism have guided our philosophy. Now that philosophy has a name: Happy Green Feet."
Made from Jute or hemp, this 100 per cent natural fiberglass product known as Earth-Fibe, won't break any easier than standard fiberglass, but will break down over time. This leads to less landfill with no harmful airborne fiberglass particles to breathe in. Earth-Fibe has been proven strong enough to take the pounding of the street, yet equally or more flexible than traditional fiberglass, without any of the drawbacks. Unlike the fiberglass used by other manufacturers, Earth-Fibe will biodegrade over time, rather than break into smaller and smaller pieces, which never really go back to the earth.
With problems like decreasing air quality on everyone's mind these days, it's great to know that somebody's working to do something about it. With Eco-Tech you won't be breathing fiberglass splinters. Since Eco-Tech is made from monofilament fibers, there are no airborne particles to worry about. This is good for our workers and the general population.
Made entirely from ground up and smoothed down recycled bottles, our new decking is fastened to our boards with water-based urethane, to help insure safe riding and a healthier environment.
V-LAM, saving trees, one Skateboard at a time:
Not content to go down the bamboo path, Gravity offers V-lam, a new technology that turns our birch scraps into some of the most resilient and cool looking skateboards on the market. The scrap wood from our skateboards, which would normally be recycled by us, now goes directly toward making a stronger skateboard, not only giving your board longer life, but adding a brilliant new dimension to the look of your ride. What could be more win-win than improved skateboards and more trees? V-Lam is currently available in our 27" Mini and our 42" Spoon Nose.
Our commitment at Gravity since day one was to a fun-filled green environment. We only use only water based inks and graphics that employ Simple Green for cleanup.

Canton Mayor William J. Healy II is proposing an unprecedented move — eliminating the Canton Board of Park Commissioners. On Monday night, City Council is expected to vote on his plan to place the parks department under the authority of the service director. Ultimately, the mayor's goal is to merge the parks division with the Canton Joint Recreation District.
City Council is expected to vote Monday night on the mayor's proposal to disband the Canton Board of Park Commissioners and put the park system under the direct control of the service director.
In reaction to concerns and criticisms voiced by some council members, Mayor William J. Healy II says he's come up with a revised plan.
Some on council have asked for more details, including about the projected financial savings.
Healy's latest plan includes trying to formally join the city parks department with the Canton Joint Recreation District within roughly three years. If that doesn't occur, City Council would decide the course of the parks division, the mayor said.
The parks proposal is part of Healy's plan to reduce or eliminate a 2013 general fund budget deficit he's projected at around $4 million. Moving the parks division under the service director's authority would save more than $100,000 annually by reducing up to two management positions "between our current parks structure along with the structure of our public works department," Healy said.
"This move will allow us to lower our cost of operations, better serve our constituents with more resources, and maintain a more responsive management system under (Service Director Warren Price)," Healy said in a memo to council Thursday.
Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the City Council Chamber at City Hall at 218 Cleveland Ave. SW.
The mayor said the modified plan includes input from some council members.
Under Healy's immediate plan, Price essentially would be the boss over the parks system. In the absence of a park commission, state law gives direct oversight and management authority to the service director, said Law Director Joseph Martuccio. The service director is appointed by the mayor.
Placing the park responsibilities under the city's public works division would be a temporary arrangement, Healy said, "with the ultimate goal of a combined parks and recreation department."
Under the plan, Healy said, the two entities would work together to put the merger issue on the ballot in about three years.
Some council members have taken exception to the premise of legislatively eliminating a commission established by voters about 90 years ago. Healy notes that the vast majority of Ohio cities have a combined parks and recreation department.
Healy pitched his proposal after he sought and received the opinion of the Ohio attorney general's office on the subject. The letter was not an official ruling or specific to Canton's situation.
However, Martuccio agreed with the letter's principle point, which is that a local government — council in this case — could disband such a commission.
Page 2 of 4 - Martuccio says the mayor's proposal presents some legal questions that will require thorough review. Two members of the recreation district board say more information is needed on the mayor's plans.
"I am confident that the (Joint Recreation District) board would consider any option put forward that would meet the mission of promoting recreation for the citizens of the city of Canton," said Don Peterson III, a recreation board member. "Right now, there
isn't nearly enough information to see if combining the parks and recreation departments would make any sense."
The five-member recreation board has not formally discussed the mayor's proposal, said Ron Duff, recreation district board president.
"My own personal opinion (is) it seems ... the mayor is trying to wave a magic wand and make the parks department go away," Duff said Friday. "Not only do you have the question about rescinding a vote of the people (that created the park commission decades ago), you also have really no plan out there for how they will pick up the park functions."
He noted that unlike city parks workers, the recreation district does not have union positions. That's one matter that would require review and discussion, Duff said.
"The cart is going before the horse," he said. "I think we have to get all our research done and find out what we can and cannot do."
The recreation district operates independently of city government and has its own funding source through a levy, which expires in 2015. The parks department is funded through the city's general fund. Under the existing arrangement, Healy has noted, the city administration has no direct management control over the parks.
Andy Black, the park commission president, says the two entities have worked together on budget issues and in other areas. Healy appoints the three commission members.
The city parks department mows the grass at parks, empties the trash, rents out picnic shelters and maintains the properties, among other duties.
The recreation district oversees the use of city parks for softball leagues and tournaments, youth sports and other recreational activities, among other responsibilities. The recreation district maintains baseball and other sports fields, including mowing and striping.
In the absence of a park commission, Martuccio said he initially believes the city parks division and the recreation district could "effect the equivalent of a merger" without a ballot issue.
Martuccio said more research on state law is required on the question of whether a combined parks and recreation department could be placed on the ballot.
"There are a lot of issues here that need to be worked out," Martuccio said Friday. "These are uncharted waters."
Management positions in the parks department are currently civil service jobs. To eliminate or modify the positions would require action by the Civil Service Commission, Martuccio said.
Page 3 of 4 - PARKS ADVISORY BOARD
Under Healy's proposal, a five-member Parks Advisory Board would be created to provide public input, the mayor said. Healy would appoint four residents as members, with council approval required. A council member would be the fifth member.
The board would hold public meetings, "but will not have direct financial, operational or personnel authority," Healy wrote. "This board may act as a conduit to communicate public concerns, interests and ideas as well as make requests to the management."
If a combined parks and recreation department (following the elimination of the park commission) "is not created and supported by a vote of the people on or before the next renewal of the (recreation district's levy), council may create a separate parks department and/or board as they see fit," the mayor wrote. "... This ordinance does not prevent future councils from creating, eliminating or recreating any other combination of departments as they see fit in the future."
Martuccio said "the (proposed) amendment will have to be careful about what we do within the term of this council and how it may or may not affect future councils and future issues.
"This is all fairly new to us, and there's very little case law, very little custom and practice to look at," he added.
Black, the longtime park board president, spoke at the July 30 council meeting.
"The claim is that there will be $100,000 worth of savings," he said. "... There is no detailed plans for this to occur. It's just an idea that's been presented, and I think there's a basic lack of understanding (of) exactly what happens in our parks.
"And for this council to move forward with something, without concrete plans, without concrete identified savings, I think, is a real mistake," he said.
"... This board was created by a vote of the citizens of Canton by a 3 to 1 margin," he said. "Our charge is to provide an independent oversight of these parks, maintain them, preserve them and protect them for future generations.
"... In the past, well-meaning individuals have tried to take these parks from the people for some private benefit," Black said. "Now let's imagine a city in a budget crunch and a council willing to dissolve this board that's meant to protect it. Now what's to stop their sale to the highest bidder or perhaps being leased to an oil company."
The mayor's office is researching the possibility of leasing some city-owned properties for gas and oil drilling as a way to generate revenue for the general fund. Any leases would require council approval.
If council believes it's best to dissolve the park commission, Black suggests putting the issue on the ballot.
Page 4 of 4 - HEADING THE PARKS
Under the mayor's proposal, Kevin Monroe, the city's director of public works, would head the parks division. During the administration's recent presentation to council, Healy did not specifically mention or discuss the existing position of parks director, occupied by Doug Perry.
The assistant parks director's position is vacant.
Perry's annual base salary is $83,352. Longevity pay — $1,380 in 2012 — takes the total to $84,732, according to the city auditor's office. Benefits — including $11,862 for the city's portion of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and $8,443 for medical, life, vision, dental and any similar insurance — brings the salary and benefits total to roughly $114,400 for 2012.
About a dozen parks employees are responsible for about 60 parks totaling roughly 750 acres, Price said. "Seasonal" employees help the department, he said.
With "the availability of a larger work force and additional resources under the department of public works," it will allow the city "to become more versatile, efficient and effective in city services of the parks," Healy wrote in the memo to council.
Under the proposal, all union members assigned to the parks department will be retained with the expectation they will continue to service the parks, Healy said.
The 2012 parks department budget is about
$1.18 million, which includes $1.13 million from the general fund and $42,579 from the capital improvement fund, according to the auditor's office. The 2011 budget was about $1.32 million in 2011.

Anyone ridden Durham in the past few days that can give a report on conditions. Last Saturday there was quite a bit of snow, wondering what it looks like now. We would like to get a few more of our weekly kids rides in but don't want to drive all the way up there with 7-10 year olds if conditions are not good. Cool temps are not an issue with this group, surface conditions are. Thanks in advance!

Keywords:Lichnerowicz equation; positive solutions; Harnack inequality
1 Introduction
Let M be an n-dimensional complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we study the following nonlinear parabolic equation
where h, p, q, A, B are real constants and , .
Gradient estimates play an important role in the study of PDE, especially the Laplace equation and heat equation. Li [1] derived the gradient estimates and Harnack inequalities for positive solutions of nonlinear equations and on Riemannian manifolds. The author in [1] also obtained a theorem of Liouville-type for positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation. Later, Yang [2] gave the gradient estimates for the solution to the elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity
where , c are two real constants. More precisely, the author [2] obtained the following result.
Theorem 1.1 (Yang [2])
LetMbe a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimensionnwithout boundary. Letbe a geodesic ball of radius 2Raround. We denote, with, to be a lower bound of the Ricci curvature on, i.e., for all tangent fieldξon. Suppose thatis a positive smooth solution of the equation (1.2) with, cbeing two real constants. Then we have:
(i) If, thensatisfies the estimate
on, whereandare some universal constants independent of geometry ofM.
(ii) If, thensatisfies the estimate
on, whereandare some universal constants independent of geometry ofM.
For some interesting gradient estimates in this direction, we can refer to [3-7].
Recently, Song and Zhao [8] studied a generalized elliptic Lichnerowicz equation
on compact manifold . The authors in [8] got the local gradient estimate for the positive solutions of (1.3). Moreover, they considered the following parabolic Lichnerowicz equation
on manifold and obtained the Harnack differential inequality.
Theorem 1.2 (Song and Zhao [8])
LetMbe a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, . Let. Assume thatis any positive solution of (1.4) onMwith, , and. Denote, suppose that, , , . Ifwithat, then we have
While the author considered the gradient estimates on compact Riemannian manifolds in Theorem 1.2, it is natural to study this problem on complete noncompact manifolds. Motivated by the work above, we present our main results as follows.
Theorem 1.3Letbe a complete noncompactn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with Ricci tensor bounded from below by the constant, whereandin the metric ballaround. Assume thatuis a positive solution of (1.1) withfor all. Then
where, c, , , δare positive constants withand.
Let , we can get the following global gradient estimates for the nonlinear parabolic equation (1.1).
Corollary 1.4Letbe a complete noncompactn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with Ricci tensor bounded from below by the constant, where. Assume thatuis a positive solution of (1.1) withfor all. Then
δare positive constants withand.
Let , in Corollary 1.4, we get a Li-Yau-type gradient estimate.
Corollary 1.5Letbe a complete noncompactn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with. Assume thatis a positive solution to the equation
on complete noncompact manifolds, whereh, q, Bare real constants and. Then we have
As an application, we have the following Harnack inequality.
Theorem 1.6Letbe a complete noncompactn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with. Assume thatis a positive solution to the equation
on complete noncompact manifolds, whereh, q, Bare real constants and, . Then for any pointsandonwith, we have the following Harnack inequality:
2 Proof of Theorem 1.3
Assume that u is a positive solution to (1.1). Set , then w satisfies the equation
Lemma 2.1Letbe a complete noncompactn-dimensional Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below by the constant, whereandin the metric ballaround. Letwbe a positive solution of (2.1), then
Proof Define
where . By the Bochner formula, we have
By a direct computation, we have
and we know
Therefore, by equalities (2.2) and (2.3), we obtain
This implies that,
Therefore, it follows that
which completes the proof of Lemma 2.1. □
We take a cut-off function defined on such that for , for , and . Furthermore, satisfies
for some absolute constants . Denote by the distance between x and p in M. Set
Using an argument of Cheng and Yau [9], we can assume that with support in . Direct calculation shows that on
By the Laplacian comparison theorem in [10],
In inequality (2.5), if , then △φ can be controlled by , so in any case, , where c is some positive constant.
For , let be a point in , at which φF attains its maximum value P, and we assume that P is positive (otherwise the proof is trivial). At the point , we have
It follows that
This inequality, together with inequalities (2.4) and (2.5), yields
it follows that
here we used
Following Davies [11] (see also Negrin [12]), we set
Then we have
Next, we consider the following two cases:
multiplying both sides of the inequality above by sφ, we have
So, it follows that
we get
Now, (1) of Theorem 1.3 can be easily deduced from the inequality above;
multiplying both sides of the inequality above by sφ, we have
So, it follows that
Similarly, we can obtain (2) of Theorem 1.3.
Proof of Theorem 1.6 For any points and on with , we take a curve parameterized with and . One gets from Corollary 1.5 that
which means that

Photos: David Moore counts down the five biggest draft busts of the Jerry Jones era
Photo: G.J. McCarthy / Staff Photographer
No. 2: Bobby Carpenter, LB / Carpenter didn't come close to fulfilling expectations. He started just three games in four seasons with the Cowboys, never forced a fumble or intercepted a pass and managed 3.5 sacks. He was in on just 50 tackles during his first three seasons, which led to his soft label.
So, why isn't Carpenter known as the worst pick of the Jones era? He actually did a decent job in his final season - a fact too many critics overlook - in the Cowboys' nickel packages. Carpenter was good in coverage, came up with two sacks and his 46 tackles was just four shy of what he did in his first three seasons combined.

'Mad Men' Nearing the End, Weiner Debuts a Movie
Matthew Weiner is accustomed to anxiously guarding the secrecy of "Mad Men." Talking candidly about his feature film directing debut, "You Are Here," goes against his practiced paranoia.
Matthew Weiner is accustomed to anxiously guarding the secrecy of "Mad Men." Talking candidly about his feature film directing debut, "You Are Here," goes against his practiced paranoia.
No one is more surprised than Kevin Rahm that his "Mad Men" character Ted Chaough has become a major player in the AMC drama's sixth season.
OMG! Don Draper (Jon Hamm) literally got caught with his pants down — and not by his wife Megan (Jessica Paré), who might expect it, but by his daughter Sally (Kiernan Shipka), who never would have dreamed of it in a million years.
"Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner has a message for critics of season six of the AMC hit: "Fans don't run the show."
In the first episode of the first season of "Mad Men," Don Draper's next-in-line affair, Rachel Menken, hears his brutal philosophy: Love is nothing more than an ad man's myth, and everyone is born alone and dies alone.
Emmy-winning drama "Mad Men" drew a record 2.7 million viewers for its low-key Season 5 finale, bringing to an end its most watched and most controversial season yet.
An ad agency partner's crimes caught up with him Sunday night on "Mad Men" — and he paid the ultimate price. Read our recap …
The loosening mores of the 1960s were in full flower Sunday night on "Mad Men," as one couple moved in together without the benefit of marriage, and a young girl saw two grownups having an intimate encounter in a semi-public place.
The wait is over and the verdict is in: The long, 17-month absence from the airwaves did not hurt the Emmy-winning drama "Mad Men." Sunday night's Season 5 premiere drew 3.5 million viewers, making it the highest-rated episode ever for the AMC series.
"Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner isn't falling for the criticism surrounding the latest ad campaign for his series.

Boris chases Harry Potterland for London
Hopes a Harry Potter theme park could be built in the UK have been ignited after London Mayor Boris Johnson wrote to the film studios which is developing a similar site in America
In his letter, the Mayor urged Warner Brothers and Universal Studios, which will open £270 million Wizarding World theme park 'extension' in Florida next week, to develop one in London.
And Johnson has called for businesses who would be interested in building a Hogwarts-based theme park in the capital to come forward.
The Greater London Authority is said to be 'highly receptive' to any possible bids, but the Mayor has backed away from committing any funds to a British Wizarding World.
A spokesman said: 'If they were to put forward plans, they could conclude that the Mayor would be quite passionately behind them, as long as they were professional and true to the spirit of Harry Potter'.
The letter and appeal comes after earlier negotiations between City Hall and Warner Bros on a plan to build a Harry Potter theme park in Hertfordshire failed to reach an agreement. Florida offered tax incentives, development grants and new transport infrastructure to secure the new park for Orlando.
Look out for the OJEU soon….
