Amazing Phone
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: I have this same exact phone (albeit the GSM model) and it does everything I want. There is a virtually unlimited number of applications for Windows Mobile, many of them free and/or open source. The camera works great and the keyboard and screen are both very responsive.
Cons: Android isn't ported for this phone yet.
Other Thoughts: I have CID-unlocked my Touch Pro by following the instructions at xda-developers. Just google!

This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: Great phone. Screen looks absolutely stunning, has lots of features and raw horsepower for whatever you want to do (if you complaining about it being slow, read the other thoughts section). Running WM 6.1, so yeah you can install whatever you want essentially. I don't have the sprint version, mine is a GSM version so there are slight differences. Has a nice solid feel, keyboard works great, and the interface is wonderful. Wifi is wonderful when I need it. Sounds great, looks sexy.
Cons: The screen is obscenely delicate. My first one broke just riding in my jeans...the bending over stretch the jeans over the screen and cracked the tough sensitive layer. Alltel replaced it for free, and I just ended up getting an aluminum case to carry it in when it's riding in my pocket. Not a big deal.
Other Thoughts: Ok people, if you aren't happy with tech there is almost always a way to get what you want out of it.

Amazing phone for both business and multimedia.
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: Windows Mobile operating system. Stylus, touch screen, and keyboard. Internal motion/level sensor. Very nice camera with flash. Excellent screen resolution. Easy to use. Able to use slide out keyboard or on-screen keyboard which can be setup to be full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, or phone keypad layout. Voice command. Sprint TV is very nice. Instant weather access is super nice. Text messaging and picture messaging are both fantastic. Internet browsing is nice especially since you have Opera and Explorer to use. The navigation is system is very impressive and better than my friend's Garmin.
Cons: I do wish the screen was a bit larger. I see everything fine, but a slightly larger screen would be nice.
Other Thoughts: I'm not sure what else I can say about this phone. I absolutely love it and have been pleased with the Sprint network. The phone is not 100% perfect, but then again what is. There really only are a few things that can be done to make this phone perfect. I should add that this is the first smart phone I have ever owned/used, but I did put a ton of research into it before I bought. I was with US Cellular, and I was determined to go with Sprint's $99 Simply Everything plan. The competition is at ~$150 for the same service.

depends on what you want to use it for
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: Beautiful screen. Handy slide out keyboard(has bugs).
Cons: Two weeks of utter frustration! I went from a razr two to this. Really disapointed. No apps for this phone work. Either nothing is available or if it is it doesnt work. Java Emulators c*rap out, of course HTC doesnt include java although somehow its running opera mini with the j2me enviornment. Every app that is available for this phone is business oriented. Confirm what anothe reviewer posted about lag, its really slow! If you are used to a phone responding quickly.. this isnt for you. Played with a gsm version works much better. Touch Flo 3D is nice at first but its the biggest pain in the neck to get used to. Always pressing other buttons, launching software which you dont want. I have small fingers btw but its just too sensitive. And i have changed the settings. Nothing works, already had to do a hard reset twice. Battery life is horrible, If you use your phone a lot get extended if not two batteris and have chargers with you ( I carry a usb cord around just in case).
Other Thoughts: All i can say is for the basic user its ok, if you really want some use out of mobile device avoid this one. If I wasnt with sprint I'd go for blakberry or G1. I am really disappointed by this product.

This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: Best Touch yet. The slide out keyboard is nice, but it is optional. You don't need to use it at all.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Went from HTC 6700 to Touch to Diamond Touch Pro.

Touch Pro
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: 640x480 screen resolution is quite nice, especially while web browsing. The camera takes good pictures as well as video (352x288) and has a usable flash. Sound quality is good on the phone and the signal strength is a bit better (I think) than my HTC Touch. The keyboard takes a little getting used to, then it is great. The HTC full QWERTY is a great on screen keyboard if you don't want to fold out the big one. The abundance of Windows mobile programs that are free or available for purchase will let you do about anything you want to do. Office, torrents, great video and audio programs, whatever.
Cons: The touch flo interface is shortly amusing but ultimately not very effective. It ends up requiring more steps to do everything (accessing calender, contacts, PHONE, internet, everything...) A well configured today will allow you to access time, calender, weather, phone, camera, internet, messaging, e-mail and so on all without extra menus or flipping through things.
Other Thoughts: In many places the U.I. is outright clumsy. It being difficult to scroll without clicking on something, or just scroll without immediately going to the bottom or top of the page. In 8 years of using windows mobile devices I have never seen one as clumsy as this one.

the good, the bad, and the ugly
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: Too numerous to list... Beautiful design, great layout, powerful graphics, etc...
Cons: The battery life is the biggest con. However, there's an extended battery available, with a replacement battery cover, but not from Sprint, though (why not?). Search the web for HTC Touch Pro extended battery and you can get one for about $60.
Other Thoughts: To see if you have EVDO REV.0 or REV.A dial ##778## to get to the management screen. Tap on the "View". You will see a table of values. At the bottom of the screen you will see "View Info", keyboard icon, and "Cancel". Click on "View Info". Select "Data Parameters" from the list. This will open a table with 2 lines: Packet dial string and Rev. A or Rev. 0. Mine had Rev. A Enable.

Touch Pro
This review is from: Sprint Authorized Cell Phones
Pros: been using this for a little ofer 2weeks and so far its been working great. 3D video is great with it. faster Direct Draw(2D) and D3D(3D) play back then the touch mogul or diamond.
Cons: battery i get maybe a day if that with very little useage and that is full coverage. 6hour off the charger and its at 62% battery. Its very hard to unlock this phone to flash it at this time and you cant get updates yet because HTC makes you reg. the phone and you have to buy it from them directly to reg. it.
Other Thoughts: for watching movies in the setting of your player if you can select raw frame buffer it will speed your video up better.

It's Thursday – yay! Time to link up your quilty process <3 This week I've had a lot of time to think, I'm under the weather and have been doing lots of little jobs and taking it easy. Having time on my hands has led me to pondering. I'm not used to having free time and as much as I claim that part of my drive to become a full time quilter is to have work-life balance, I am certainly nowhere near achieving balance! I read a quote somewhere that said something like, "Business owners will work 70 hours a week to avoid working 25." That pretty much sums it up really!
This week I caught up on some bee blocks This improv block for Jess of The Elven Garden.
And this cat block for Adrianne from On The Windy Side.
Both blocks were fun (they're both around 24″ x 30″) and both are for the same bee. The cat block was not in my comfort zone at all, I not only got out the graph paper but gave myself detailed cutting instructions. I love the block and it turned out just as I'd hoped (but much bigger – my quilt math sucks) and most importantly, Adrianne loves it too The block for Jess was totally in my comfort zone; improv all the way baby! Both she and I love it and I need to pull myself together and part with it 😉
Having all this thinking time has made me realise that I constantly need to be productive. Today I sorted scraps and tidied up the studio. I admit that I even cleaned the house over the past two days – I really am desperate for outcomes! Usually my complete focus is on quilting but I don't like to quilt when I'm overtired or not well. That's when mistakes happen and I do enough unpicking as it is!
I finished binding the quilt for the school fair this week and washed it yesterday (I ALWAYS pre-wash quilts in cold water with no detergent on a quick cycle and then put them through the drier. It means they are colour fast and pre-shrunk which is really important to me. If the colours run I wash until the water runs clear. I throw in a couple of colour catchers to pick up any dye.) I can't get enough of the texture post-laundering.
Now it's your turn to link up your quilty goodness! Please remember to visit three other linkers and share the love xxx
4 Comments on I Quilt and think
So sorry you haven't been well Gemma. I find I clean when I need to sort stuff out in my head too. Win win really!
I hope you feel better! that darn balance thing. It will never happen, sorry;( Let it go and just decide to be unbalanced, it is so liberating;)
Hooray for your finish! I really like the quilting on it.
Sorry you haven't been well. It feels like spring is getting closer in Canberra so I hope the promise of warmer weather helps you get better soon. I agree with the washed quilt texture – it is the best. I also love your bee blocks especially the improv one for Jess – gorgeous

My ride last night. Farewell to my rear blinky red light that fell off at some point, I did go back around on in my car to see if I might find it. No luck, and it poured last night, so poor blinky is lost to the wet wilds of Chicago.
My ride last night. Farewell to my rear blinky red light that fell off at some point, I did go back around on in my car to see if I might find it. No luck, and it poured last night, so poor blinky is lost to the wet wilds of Chicago.
Looking forward to my winter commuting adventure.....
I am tired of losing blinkies. I lost one in a wipeout. I lost the other mysteriously. I think someone swiped it when I was parked. I've thought about gluing it to the mount; I think that I can still change out the batteries.
However my wife was concerned so I get to get something new now! Well once I sell off some of my paintball gear......anyone want some paintball gear?
Looking forward to my winter commuting adventure.....
Lunch during my ride today... Chicken Salad, sans the croissant and some french onion soup. Very tasty..
Rolled down to Renton to pick up a new wheel from a Craigslist seller. Sometimes you gotta love CL, seller had bought the wrong size wheel, so I picked up a brand new, still in the plastic, Sun Rhyno Lyte rim laced to a grey LX hub for a whopping $25! Of course I had to detour nearly 30 miles out of my way on my ride home from work this morning to pick it up, but it's not like I don't need the exercise right?
First a few pics from my ride into work the night before. Just as I was nearly ready to leave home a cloudburst opened up in my neighborhood. I delayed my departure by a few minutes and changed my plans of where I was going to grab a meal accordingly. I was shocked to find as I made my way in that what had fallen as rain in my neighborhood had fallen as a huge amount of hail at lower elevations to the south of me. At first I thought it was snow, but then I finally realized it was hail as the cars driving next to me kicked it over into the bike lane. As I bombed down the hill on the approach to the University Bridge I was plowing through over an inch of the stuff! At the intersections the passage of the cars has redistributed it into four inch drifts into the areas where the bikes had to be.
By the time I had a rolled into work, showered and changed, had a meal, and then made my way upstairs to start my shift, the storm was clearing.
These three shots are from Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, the next morning after I picked up my wheel I went to this park to get a bite to eat at the waterfront Ivar's.
This is a historical marker. Renton Municipal airport not only has major Boeing facilities, but it also has a seaplane base that dates back to dawn of aviation. Will Rogers departed here in a seaplane trip around the world, but tragically died en route. This marker commemorates him and his co-pilot. Interestingly the land has filled in part of the lake and where this marker is, is where the seaplanes used to moor and taxi out, they left from right this spot.
Thought y'all might appreciate this sign I spotted on the airport perimeter road!
The preferred method of carrying a new wheel home! Got my schoolbooks (back in college) in the rubber bag on the other side of the front rack. Weather reports were showing 80% chance of rain, transitioning to 80% chance of thundershowers with winds out of the SW at 13-21 mph, but I lucked out and only briefly had some light rain and no wind to speak of, but I changed my planned route off of the ridge tops into the lee of them.
You mudflaps might be doing their job if a puddle forms off of them when you park!
Don't know why the extra images I deleted are still showing up as thumbnails? \/

P1050790 by DennisLitto, on Flickr Flat tire on a fun Saturday night ride with some friends.
Pics from some of the flooding in Chicago:
(Sorry for such bad pictures, I haven't edited any of them and they were taken on my phone)
Underneath all the water (about 3-5 feet of it) is a bike trail I ride all the time
The "shallower" end of the flooded field.....those boxes are tops of full sized picnic benches.
Bike trail usually runs across the road here.....currently under about 2-3 feet of some fast moving water
This is up the trail from the picture above......by about 100 yards
I have taken pictures here before during our last flood, there was MAYBE 4" of gap between the underside of the bridge and the river/lake. Also the picture above a few of the flooded field, this is on the opposite side where the trail starts to head to high ground. The other side, dry side, of the bridge was at one point under water earlier in the day, so the bridge was almost completely under itself.
I have taken a picture before and posted in this thread from being on the other side of this old bridge when it was dry ground:
And final pic was some of the path underwater.....and I did totally ride through this.

Looking forward to my winter commuting adventure.....
Hello everyone,
Unfortunately I've been AFS (away from saddle) for the past few days, but I did manage to have the picture below taken by, and placed in a local newspaper/news-site during a group ride last Sunday.
I usually avoid these rides like the plague, and with over 1,000 participants and plenty of minor incidents, I didn't really enjoy the ride since I had to double and triple check my immediate surroundings for kids weaving on and off the sidewalks and "Sunday" cyclists which had trouble keeping pace and balance, which caused plenty of falls and even managed to knock a few riders off their bikes.
The camera man is obviously aiming for the odd one out of the pack! lol
I'm not sure we have that many cyclists in our entire town! Me thinks you look like a smaller version of me a few years back. Keep it up.
I would also probably not join that huge crew. I'd be off riding somewhere alone, smiling at the fact that I had the road to myself... .
Rode up to Mt. Vernon this morning. Brilliant day for a ride.
Some pics from my commutes this week
P1060015 by DennisLitto, on Flickr
P1060025 by DennisLitto, on Flickr
Really nice photos from everyone here!
Took your advice digibud and rode close to 50 miles this morning with only the sunshine (and heat) as my companion!
Here's some photos of sunny Greece, just south of Athens with the temperature hovering in the mid 20's C.
(unfortunately my cellphone has been dropped so many times these last few days causing damage to the optics and that annoying spot in the upper left corner)
Already 15 miles into the ride at Vouliagmeni
Just having passed Varkiza with the private and municipal beaches in view (too early for swimming!)
You can just make out the two tunnels in the center of the pic, while the main road is to my left (I have no idea where this dirt path leads to).
Another public beach nestled in a small bay. It's empty now (8am), but you won't be able to find a spot to lay down a hand towel, let alone a beach towel in a few hours!
Another self portrait... I'm becoming quite good at this! lol
Just before turning back for home with Varkiza in the far left of the picture.
Here's a few from Huntington Beach, CA. Went to the County's annual 'Bikefest'; its a 'kick-off' promotion that the local public transportation agency runs to get folks to bike to work/school/around neighborhoods during May ("bike to work" month). I took a few pics along the way.
Picture of the white house is the Newland House. Originly built in 1898, it was the home to a local farmer/rancher. Now owned by the HB Historical Society. Also a bar behind it theat the City owns and leases out for speical events - 'bridezillas' almost kill each other to reserve this place for their springtime weddings.
City Gym and Pool. Built in 1930(?) and rebuilt in 2000. Its got a basketball court, 25 yard pool, gamerooms/MP rooms, locker rooms with showers, and a kitchen.
Bikefest. Next to the HB Pier (you'll ahve to go on the Ciy's website to see pics of that). Kind of small, but the Los Angeles area in general is a driver's paradise, so not too many bike commuters (like me!). Lots fo freebies from vendors (Trek, REI) and a few nonprofits promoting bicycle use. Strange, but the City (never one to miss a 'green' promo opportunity) AIMG_0472C.jpgAIMG_0477C.jpgAIMG_0481C.jpgdidn't promote this on their website
Headed out to our local MTB park to play around on the freeride trails over the weekend. Spent a lot of time practicing smooth form and landings on the mid-sized step-up jump at this particular run.
It's about a 2-footer up from the lip of the takeoff to where I aimed on the landing step, and about 3.5 - 4 feet of total gap from lip-to-lip. Nothing monstrous like the one next to it (5' of step-up with about 8 or 9 feet of gap!) I don't even imagine hitting anything that big!
Slightly blurry screencap from my Contour.

Did the ride into DC today. Another perfect day for a ride.
nothing special, but I do want to share my new ride. I am a newbie but since Friday when I got this puppy for a b-day gift, I have logged in 18 miles. Whoooo Hooooo!!!
Here's one from yesterday. I was real proud of myself for conquering this one, especially after I nearly face-planted three times while attempting it. It was probably my biggest accomplishment on a bicycle within the past 25 years. The feeling of conquering this one made me feel just like a kid again. I hadn't had such a feeling of accomplishment since I was 12 or 13 years old, the first time I conquered "Devil's Pit," which was the "big jump" at the neighborhood park.

no picture from today's ride 8.91 miles ride number 3: But I did see a battle between two vultures for a deer carcass in a ditch. they must have gotten spooked as i rode by since one of them followed me fo about 300 feet; about 20 feet away right above my left shoulder. those are some ugly birds.
My daily commute bike('09 FUJI Newest 1.0) is also my Century
and weekend club rides bike. Here it is from last Saturday's trip
up Bear Mountain:
nothing fancy but went for a nice 4.3 mile ride this evening and improved my average speed, so i am happy:
The last few days dropped a ton of rain on my area. Couple that with a brand new trail and it made for about an hour worth of riding through everything from small bodies of water to quicksand.

This duo is for everyone who wants a smooth and radiant complexion.
DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment:
Apply a quarter-sized amount of DermAppeal to wet skin and gently massage in circular motions for 1-2 minutes, concentrating on lined and hyper-pigmented areas. Avoid delicate areas including eyes, lips and sides of nostrils. Splash off with warm water. Use twice per week. NOTE: Do not allow water inside the jar.
Please note: DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment resurfaces the skin using fine mineral crystals from the Dead Sea. It is very invigorating to the skin and you will experience moderate heating and cooling sensations. You may also experience a healthy pink glow and slight peeling up to two days after treatment. These are all normal and part of the regenerative process. Avoid eyes - should contact occur, immediately flush with water. Once you and your skin feel comfortable with DermAppeal, you may be able to step up the treatment to three times a week. Those with sensitive skin should use DermAppeal no more than once per week.
Skin contact: No first aid should be needed, but if irritation occurs discontinue use. Consult physician if problems persist.
Eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Consult physician if problems persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth immediately and drink large quantities of water. Consult physician if problems persist.
Handling: Avoid eye contact. Do not take internally.
Storage: Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials.
BioCell Hydrofusion Masque:
Use 2-3 times per week or as needed. After cleansing, apply a thick layer all over face, leaving on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with water. Can also be used with the SkinnFusion Facial Brush to further enhance efficacy.
Made in the USA.
Please view the above Ingredients tab for ingredient information.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.

Washington Blvd Trail Design Approved — The Penrose Neighborhood Association voted to endorse a new design for Phase II of the county's Washington Blvd Trail project. The trail was originally supposed to be built a few years ago, but residents objected to the loss of trees the trail's path would have necessitated. [Greater Greater Washington]
Anti-Gun Store Car Towed — Opponents of the planned Lyon Park gun store say the store's landlord ordered a car towed from the parking lot because it was covered in anti-gun store literature. Despite being covered in the articles, which were held in place by colorful magnets, the car actually belonged to one of the building's tenants and wasn't parked illegally, says the group Act4LyonPark.

Female Firefighters in Arlington — In 1974, Judith Livers became the first paid, full-time municipal firefighter in the United States when she took a job with the Arlington County Fire Department. On Friday, a graduation ceremony was held for the county's latest firefighting recruit class. Continuing Livers' legacy, four of the 14-member class are female. Nationally, only about 4 percent of firefighters are women, while 9 percent of Arlington's firefighters are female. [Arlington County]

The trail connecting Doctor's Run Park and S. George Mason Drive to Randolph Elementary School is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
The project, funded with Neighborhood Conservation money, will realign the trail that runs between the park and the school, widening it and decreasing its slopes in several areas, according to its county project page. The trail will be lit until 6:00 p.m. to coincide with Randolph's after school programs.
The new trail will also connect with the 12th Street S. bike boulevard that goes from street to trail at S. Quincy Street. When complete, county Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager David Goodman told ARLnow.com a HAWK signal will be installed at the intersection of George Mason Drive and 13th Street, where the trail connector meets the road. The improvements will also include a pedestrian
"There are some improvements we're doing on either end of this connector that are going to tie this all together," Goodman told ARLnow.com.
Arlington is moving forward with a bike trail along Washington Blvd and has moved the placement of the trail to save trees.
The trail is expected to cost about $1.7 million, according to county Dept. of Environmental Services spokeswoman Shannon Whalen McDaniel, but it has not been put out to bid yet. The trail has been approved and in planning stages for years, but its initial path would have necessitated digging up hundreds of mature trees.
This Saturday, the Arlington County Board is likely to approve a realignment of the trail to put it closer to Towers Park and S. Rolfe Street, north of Columbia Pike. If approved, the county would pay $8,000 to the federal government to acquire the easement for the trail. The trail will then be put out to bid. Construction is expected to begin next year and end by summer 2015.
Phase I of the trail has already been built, between Route 50 and S. Walter Reed Drive, according to the county staff report. The trail segment in question would run from Walter Reed Drive to S. Rolfe Street and Columbia Pike. The trail is being built to "provide a new opportunity for persons in the southeastern part of Arlington to bicycle, walk or run on a route apart from motor vehicle traffic," according to the staff report.
Waiting for approvals from the Virginia Department of Transportation has delayed the project, McDaniel said. VDOT controls the space adjacent to Washington Blvd where a large part of the trail will be built.
The planned access road on the grounds of Army Navy Country Club is moving forward, but not until 2020.
The project was approved by the Arlington County Board in the 2015-2024 Capital Improvement Program. It will include a sidewalk and provide cyclists and pedestrians access from the Columbia Pike area to Pentagon City, according to county Bicycle and Pedestrian Programs Manager David Goodman.
"It was originally envisioned as a trail, but ultimately it has more value as an emergency access drive that also allows pedestrian and bicycle activity," Goodman told ARLnow.com. "Its purpose is to provide an escape valve for getting emergency vehicles between the two sides of I-395. There really aren't any other connections there."
The CIP calls for the project to begin the planning phase in FY 2020, and for construction to occur in FY 2022 and 2023. The total project cost is estimated at $5.2 million, and the CIP calls for it to be paid for with state transportation funds. Goodman, who is leading the project, said the $5.2 million is a "back-of-napkin" estimate because there has been no preliminary engineering work done, but it's possible it will cost less.
The approval in the CIP is the first concrete step toward building the path since the county received the easement for a 30-foot-wide stretch of property along the golf course in 2010. The easement was granted in exchange for zoning approval for a new clubhouse. At the time, members of the country club filed a lawsuit against the club's leadership trying to block the path from being built.
The road will require a retaining wall because it will be at "a very steep grade," Goodman said. It will likely have safety bollards on the entrances to block civilian motorist traffic from entering, but allowing the flow of cyclists and pedestrians.
"It's a very steep and narrow piece of land we were given," he said. "It's just a leftover piece of land they were never going to use… Retaining walls are always expensive. We were asked to work with the easement we were given."
(Updated at 7:50 p.m.) The effects of last week's winter storm were felt by one group of commuters for days following the last snowflake.
The inconvenience of traveling in the cold and sometimes icy conditions proved not only difficult for those traveling by car, but also for local cyclists. At Saturday's Arlington County Board meeting, resident Gillian Burgess expressed her concerns about clearing bike trails after snow storms occur in the area.
"We only have one car, and we have lots of bikes," Burgess said. "Unfortunately, it's not safe to take most of these bikes onto the trails in the state that they're in. So I leave the car with my kids because I want them to be the safest, and instead I'm left with the choice of biking on very busy streets that are not safe."
"My husband and I first moved to Arlington years ago because we wanted to live the car-light lifestyle," she continued. "Now we have two kids and one car, and we love it. And most of the time we love mostly biking and walking around Arlington. Unfortunately after it snows we don't have that luxury. We have found that both after the storm in December and currently, trails do not get cleared."
According to county Dept. of Environmental Services spokeswoman Shannon Whalen McDaniel, the county does not have dedicated resources for clearing ice and snow from its shared-use trails.
"Staff have been collaborating this past year to find a viable solution to clear these trails," McDaniel said in an email. "The Department of Parks and Recreation has made an effort to handle snow clearing on trails after addressing other priorities such as snow clearing for several County buildings, routes to schools and Metro rail stations, as well as assisting in the clearing of streets and walkways at other locations."
Board Chairman Jay Fisette agreed that the county has encouraged walking and biking to get around — the "car-free diet" — and he said Burgess' concerns were understandable.
"We have heard over time, increasingly the question about bike trails — and it's a natural one because we're promoting walking and cycling," he said. "It makes complete sense that we [are getting] more questions from those who have drunk the Kool-Aid and participate in that culture and maybe even got rid of that car so that they can bike and walk and use transit more frequently."
Tim Kelley, the marketing manager for Bike Arlington, wrote in Bike Arlington's forums that the county's 25 bike counters on its shared-use trails register "a big dip in usage during and in the days following a big snow storm."
Fisette, who mentioned he is a cyclist himself, remains "unresolved" on the issue.
"I have probably the full range of questions about this as anyone would, you know, about resources, about prioritization, about effectiveness and the environmental impact," Fisette said. "So I would just say that from my perspective, to have some sort of coherent input from [County Manager Barbara Donnellan] thinking about… what the options are for Board consideration might make sense."

The jogging trail along McNair Road in Ft. Myer has closed for good.
Officials at Joint Base Ft. Myer-Henderson Hall announced last week that yesterday, Monday, the trail, which runs from the Old Post Chapel to McNair Road's intersection with Marshall Drive, would be closed.
The trail is closing to accommodate the expansion of Arlington National Cemetery with its "Millennium Project." Besides the closure of the trail, more than 700 trees are set to be removed for the cemetery expansion, a plan that rankled local activists when the expansion was discussed in March.
The $82 million expansion is expected to add in-ground and above ground burial locations, columbarium space, committal shelters and infrastructure to support it. It will take over a parcel of undeveloped land next to Ft. Myer. The expansion is needed, according to cemetery officials, because the cemetery could run out of burial space within 12 years.
A new jogging path to replace the closed one is expected to be constructed after the project's completion in spring 2016.

A section of the Four Mile Run trail along the Arlington-Alexandria border will be closed periodically until the spring, starting next Monday, December 2.
A portion of the trail near the junction with the Mt. Vernon Trail will close during the day in order to demolish a bridge overhead. Closures will be in place from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays, and 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays. The trail will be open on Sundays.
The Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) notes that a detour will be in place for ADA compliance, but it may not be the best option for some trail users, such as bikers. The detour diverts traffic off of the trail and onto the west sidewalk of Jefferson Davis Highway, then across the highway at the S. Glebe Road signal. Those using the detour can reconnect with the trail farther east via new switchback ramps.
The closure and detour should be in place for about six months. Updates will be available via the NVRC website and on the BikeArlington blog.

A woman was stabbed three times in the neck during a "brazen" broad-daylight attack on the Four Mile Run trail on Saturday.
The attack happened around 11:00 a.m. According to new details released by police, a woman was walking down the trail in the area of Glencarlyn Park when a man approached her from behind. He motioned for the woman to get off the trail and walk into the woods, police said, but she refused and screamed for help.
The man then used a knife to stab the victim three times in the neck, said Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. Other trail users heard the woman's screams but the man fled the scene on foot before help arrived.
The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries. She remained alert and was able to talk to officers before being transported to the trauma center at Inova Fairfax Hospital, Sternbeck said.
"The suspect is described as a white Hispanic male in his 20's, approximately 4'8" tall and 130 lbs," according to the police report. "He was wearing a yellow Polo shirt and dark pants."
Police plan to talk to the victim today in an effort to get a fuller description of the suspect, possibly for the creation of a composite sketch. Sternbeck said the incident "was a very brazen attack on a Saturday morning," and a reminder that trail users should always remain alert.
"First and foremost, be aware of your surroundings," he said. "If you are going to go on the trail, invite a friend to go with you. It's very rare that we see an attack on the trail where the victim is with a companion or a group. The majority of times they're attacking a woman who's alone."
Earlier this year the Arlington County Police Department produced a video that details a number of safety tips for users of local trails.

"But Signature Theatre has friends in high places who apparently believe it's too fabulous to fail, county taxpayers be damned." [Washington Examiner]

Users of the Four Mile Run Trail will be able to connect directly, and safely, with Potomac Yard within a few years.
This weekend, the Arlington County Board is expected to approve an agreement with VDOT to design a trail connector from the Four Mile Run Trail to Potomac Avenue in Arlington. Potomac Avenue runs from Crystal City to the shops and new residential developments in the Potomac Yard section of Alexandria.
Currently, the Four Mile Run Trail connects with the west side of Route 1. One would then have to cross the busy thoroughfare to get to Potomac Yard. A steep, informal dirt path that connects directly from the trail to Potomac Avenue also exists, but can be difficult to climb.
County officials say the new trail connection will be accessible to those with disabilities.
"The trail connection will provide an ADA compliant multi-use trail connection between the Potomac Yard development on the north side of Four Mile Run (Arlington County) and the Four Mile Run Trail which is also on the north side of Four Mile Run (Arlington County)," wrote Shannon Whalen McDaniel, spokeswoman for the county's Department of Environmental Services. "The new trail connection will replace a informal dirt pathway (goat path) that currently exists along the steep embankment between Potomac Yard and the Four Mile Run Trail."
The design and engineering for the new trail connection is projected to cost $250,000. Of that, $190,000 will come from federal funds and $60,000 will come from Arlington County. The actual construction of the trail connector hasn't been funded yet, but is expected to be complete no later than 2016. No construction date has been set.

(Update at 2:25 p.m.) A woman was raped on the side of one of the bike trails along Four Mile Run last night (Tuesday), according to police.
Investigators say the incident happened along the trail while it was still light outside — between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. The woman, 23, was jogging by trail mile marker 44, near Glencarlyn park, when a man, whom she had seen along the trail earlier, stopped her. He took out a 6-inch kitchen knife, dragged her into some tall vegetation, and took off her clothes and underwear, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.
At one point the woman tried to run away but the attacker restrained her and threatened her with the knife, Sternbeck said. After the man was done sexually assaulting the victim, she ran home and drove herself to the hospital. Hospital staff called police at 8:49 p.m. In addition to the injuries from the sexual assault, the woman also sustained scratches to her wrists, Sternbeck said.
The man is described as a clean-shaven Hispanic male, between 5'5″ and 5'6″, 140 pounds, about 30 years of age. He had short black hair and brown eyes. The victim said he had a small head, a high-pitched voice, spoke limited English, and was wearing a green shirt that might have said George Mason University on it.
The victim has been an Arlington resident for 6 months, Sternbeck said.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the crime is encouraged to contact Detective Greg Sloan at 703-228-4198 or [email protected].

"I Will Survive" Achievement Guide.
Hey guys I just finished making this guide for the Survival Mode achievement. Hope this helps, and if anyone notices anything I can add or fix please tell me, thanks!
I suggest getting this achievement in co-op, preferably 2 players (that way there aren't tons of enemies cluttering the screen). This achievement sounds harder than it really is. Yes you only get one life, but if you've played through the game already and payed attention and took the time to figure out the patterns of the game, it's a piece of cake... or pizza I should say.
EDIT: After playing Survival Mode both solo and co-op, I've actually found that playing alone is easier, at least for me anyway. Try it on solo first and if you're still having trouble, try co-op. Just make sure one turtle attacks (bosses) at a time or things can get confusing.
The game shouldn't be too difficult on Normal. Beating up all the baddies is easy, the only trouble I predict people having is on the bosses. I've done my best to write out this guide for each boss based on my experience, and I can honestly say using these strategies I can beat every boss in the game without losing a life. And if I can do it, anyone can. *EDIT: I recommend using Leonardo for survival as he is the most well rounded of the turtles.
Level 1: Big Apple, 3AM
BOSS: Baxter Stockman
Baxter is one of, if not the easiest boss in the game. All you have to do is stay below him when he is flying so he can't shoot you, then when he lands get in close for a quick three hits with your regular attack (X). When his life is half gone he will pull out his second gun which is stronger and faster. Doesn't matter though just do the same thing as before, just make sure you hit him as soon as he lands on the ground and he won't be able to get a shot off.
Level 2: Alleycat Blues
BOSS: Metalhead
Metalhead is not a difficult boss either. You have to be a little more careful, especially if you're trying to get multiple hits on him at once. I don't recommend that though. I suggest just go in and land one quick special attack (Y), get away, and go in for another. It's pretty easy since his attacks aren't very accurate or fast. Once in a while he'll do this jump kick (and he'll do 3 in a row every time), all you have to do then is just get away and let him miss 3 times.
Level 3: Sewer Surfin'
BOSS: No boss in Arcade version.
Level 4: B.C. 2500000000: Prehistoric Turtlesaurus
BOSS: Cement Man
It took me a few tries to figure out this bosses pattern, the main thing that kept catching me is when he would go underground. I used to try to jump away but he would get me every time. Then I figured out that if you just run away from him he can't catch you, he's too slow. When he pops up from the ground don't go right in for attacks, wait. He'll throw a sludge ball at you. Dodge it and then go in for 2 or 3 quick hits, but don't stay close for too long because he goes back in the ground fast after being hit.
Level 5: A.D. 1530: Skull and Crossbones
BOSS: Tokka and Rahzar
Even though there are two bosses in this level it's VERY easy, even by yourself. I found that the easiest way to beat them is to just keep doing jump kicks. It does a pretty good amount of damage and it's fast. If you just keep jumping and kicking, staying in the air, Tokka and Rahzar can't even get a hit in. The only thing you have to look out for is Tokkas' razor shell spin attack. When he does this don't worry about attacking, just jump around dodging the attack until he stops.
Level 6: A.D. 1885: Bury my Shell at Wounded Knee
BOSS: Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a hit and move kind of boss, you can't really stay in too long or he'll pull out a knife and shank ya'. Get a hit on him and he'll do a charge attack. He'll go back and fourth across the screen 3 times (sometimes only 1 or 2, but rarely). Dodge them by jumping over him. When he stops he'll be on one of the far sides of the screen. Just make sure you're not on the same horizontal plain as him when he stops or he'll throw knives at you. Attack him from above or below, you can usually get 2 or 3 hits in before he goes for another charge attack. Just repeat this process.
Level 7: A.D. 2020: Neon Night-Riders
BOSS: Super Krang
Krang and his robot are actually pretty easy. All you do is get a few quick hits in, I usually get in about 3 or 4. After that move away, he'll usually go for a kick attack or a clap attack. Just dodge it quickly and go in for another 3 or 4 hits. That's all, he shouldn't give you too much trouble.
Level 8: A.D. 2100: Starbase
BOSS: Krang in a spaceship
This is one of the more annoying boss fights in the game. It's probably the one I have the most trouble with. Try to stay vertical with him, never attack him from the sides or he'll trap you in a bubble, which takes away health. Try attack him vertically, when you see him shake for a second or two get out of the way. He'll try to slam you, just be quick and don't get greedy with the attacks, get what you can and dodge. When he starts to drop the little robots, take care of them fast. You don't want too many of those things walking around freely, they get in a lot of cheap damaging attacks. If you stay close to Krang you can take out the robots as soon as he drops them while getting some hits in on him. Be very patient with this boss, I suggest practicing in quick play. *EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that you don't actually have to fight Krang if you don't want to. You can just avoid his attacks the whole fight and take out the little robots when he drops them, eventually he goes away. Thanks to everyone who let me know this.
Level 9: A.D. 1992: Technodrome: The Final Shell-Shock
BOSS: Shredder
Shredder can be a pain if you don't know his patterns, but once you do he's not so bad. Just try to work him into one of the upper corners so you can fight against the rail and keep the fight horizontal. Once he's in the corner go for a regular attack, but ONLY one. He'll dodge it by backing away into the corner. Once he does that back up a little bit because he'll go for an attack right after he dodges (usually a kick or sword swipe, sometimes a radial blast attack). After he misses quickly go in for 3 quick shots, he might block and attack once in a while but you can usually get some good hits in. After your 3 hits back away and repeat this process. Let him attack and miss, go in for 3 shots and back away. When his health gets low he'll do this attack where he levitates and tries to shoot you with a turtle soup beam (similar to the 1989 arcade). However this attack is very easy to avoid. Just stay close to him while he's in the air (almost right underneath him) and wait for him to land to get a couple of free shots.
Well that's it. I hope this guide helps anyone having trouble with those frustrating boss battles. The only other advice I can give is to help out your team mate if you're playing co-op. If your going for the achievement that doesn't mean you can let your friend do all the work, remember you BOTH only have one life. Help each other out. Most boss fights usually have a pizza or two in them. Use this to your advantage, attack the boss for a while and let your friend sit back and retain their health. If you start getting into trouble and losing health tell your friend to jump in and fight for a while so you can get the pizza, then if your friend starts getting into trouble you can jump in and help them. Just be smart about how you distribute the pizzas, don't grab one if you don't need one and be careful fighting near one because you can get knocked onto one accidentally.
Hey, may I link to this Guide in my main achievement guide? If you don't want me to, I won't. Just wondering :)
I don't mind at all, I just hope it helps. :)
for leatherhead, just do the jump kicks (3 times) and move back for his charge attack
and for super krang, just attack him vertically (3 times) and pull away for his clap attack (that's what he does most)
seems like both of them didn't move in the 3d era :p
Leatherhead can do his charge on the vertical plane. He did it to me once on my last run through.
Super Krang is the only boss that really gives me problems. The rest is fairly cake.
Was goofing off fighting Shredder with no attempt at strategy on quickplay and I noticed something. If he does his jump attack, get out of the way. It turned me into a baby turtle and instantly killed. If you avoid that attack, the guy is cake.
I have the most trouble during the skull and crossbones level. The bosses are easy though. It's those damn loose boards that kill me.
Great guide but i never get passed that stupid sewer level with 4 players :mad:
Playing this game with 4 players is too annoying, that's why I suggested doing it with only 2 players as there are less enemies. I actually did it by myself my first try, which shocked the hell out of me.
Yeah, I beat the living hell out of Survival mode. I was so surprised because I died like 4 times on Normal Story, but I think Survival mode is actually easier. It could just be that I already figured out the enemy paths, but I have a suspicion.
I found Shredder to be quite easy. Krang right before him, though...totally different story.
Also, with Tokka and Rahzar with Leonardo (maybe everyone), using his Y attack on either of them immediately after they jump and stomp knocks them right back down. Oh, and they'll just get back up and jump and stomp again for a nice semi-infinite loop since they don't do it all the time.
I used Leo because his Special Attack is by far the most awesomely unfair to enemies.
it looks like Krang (fight before Shredder) is like Baxter Stockman in the original arcade (1989) game: if you just avoid and kill the enemies he creates, he'll eventually go away and give you credit for the win.
For Tokka and Rahzar I used X then immediately Y over and over to hurt and knock them down. Took very little damage at the bosses (stupid boards though!). Watch out when you fight Super Krang though, I got stuck on an attack he pulled with rockets where after the first hit I couldn't move and he drained my whole life bar.
I soooo do not recommend 4-player co op for this achievement. The reason for this is because if three players dies and they all quit and leave, the remaining player will be taken back to the main menu.
This happened to me earlier today. I was playing in a 3-player co op in survival mode and during level 4 two of the other players died and i was the only one left playing and after the other two players left, i was taken back to the main menu in the middle of gameplay....and i never died.
Hey guys I also suggest having a team of Leo and Mike. For this game they are alot better with the X and Y attacks. All of the bosses was cake.
Bah the damm flying machine gunners keep owning me on neon light, they are way to over powered!!!
Play it by yourself, it's much easier. Pick Raphael. And watch out for the turrets in the 8th level.
Great Guide!! I found playing by yourself to be easier or a 2nd person at the most. For me if you get to many people it gets confusing and some people like to hog the pizzas:p The Cement Boss was giving me the most trouble. I will try your strategy after work.
Little note for Shredder: he only fires his energy ball to the left or right, he prolly forgot this game was 3D :)
I'm gonna try again later, I died during Bury My Shell At Wounded Knee last time :(
Great guide btw, keep it up!
Can someone make a video guide of the Boss Fights?? This would help a lot.
I plan on making a video tonight (off-screen, sorry) of facing Shredder in quickplay on Normal. It's the strategy I use every time on him, and he's pretty much cake this way. It even works on Hardcore. I know the tough part is to make it to Shredder, but Shredder isn't that hard, especially with this strategy.
maybe you can update that neon night riders boss because when i was doing survival he was shooting rockets at me so i died and some purple bullets :mad:
I guess I could TRY to do that. The only thing you have worry about in that level is the Gunners. I hate those freaking things. They can take away half your health in a couple of seconds. Krang isn't that bad either, because besides his "bitchslap" attack, he only attacks directly to his left or right.
The Shredder fight video is up. It didn't turn out half bad I think. It's still kind of uploading, though. I did mess up on the order of the title cards, though.
The strategy I've tried with Krang is just chasing him with the special attack. I haven't tested with Leo and Mike yet, but with Raphael and Donatello it works like a charm. Use the movement of the attack to cut Krang off. The only thing you have to worry about is his bubble, but if you interrupt him with the attack and make it to the opposite side the bubble is coming from, he stops it immediately.
Shredder's a cake walk. Just go towards him and double jump. Use the first jump to bait an attack and move away (so run at hom then jump away) then use the mid-air jump to go over his head and behind him, then fall with the aerial attack and repeat. I used this method and beat Shredder without getting hit.
Thanks, pretty helpful.
I'll do a quick run-through of the bosses later today.
Quick note on Leatherhead, those times he seems to only charge across the screen twice he does actually charge three times. What you'll notice is that when he is slightly away from the edge of the screen and you or an ally is just in front of him, he'll charge back towards the edge of the screen. Since he's right near the edge of the screen you won't really notice it, but it counts as a charge and he'll subsequently only charge twice more.
Anyway thanks for the tip about avoiding Krang on the second fight, I've been practising every level in quickplay and can finish every level without losing any lives, except for that fight. Does anyone know just how long you actually have to avoid him for though? I was in an online match yesterday where it took the guys about 5-10 mins to take him down and he never left so I'm guessing the timer is quite long.
Thanks for the guide. It really helped me break out of my old beatdown patterns that were getting me hurt. Mainly Cement Man because in the OG version because his sprite was so big you could do whatever the hell you wanted to him.
On that note I suggest Leo and here's why. His balance makes him the best character in the game. It also doesn't help that his special was altered to let him hit anything in his radius. His special is just Raph's special just not as combo friendly and a tad unsafe at times. But that same special makes Leatherhead quick and easy. Just spam Y in his direction and boss fight over.
I'm uploading my boss run-through right now. I might redo it though, I think my gameplay is just a bit too poor at times.
Just got raped by Super Krang and his crazy missiles 3 times in a row to kill me. Arghh.

A friend just sent me this and thought it looked pretty cool;
It does look pretty cool!
Afraid it would have much applicability for me thought since I don't use an external monitor nor have a home multimedia system to hook into.
Tom (... but it makes me think anyway!)


text: I have installed the new windows 7 on mine dell system and mine windows Explorer will not allow the mouse scroll wheel on the function panel left or right until you have selected an item in the pane on the left or right for the first time. This is still when the Windows Explorer has focal point. This is a variation of the wheel mouse Windows XP scrolling task which straight away permit scrolling while hovering above the panels on the left or right while the window is focused finally this adds an additional connect to every time you unlock Windows Explorer and it's irritating.

I am trying to use glew and Qt together, which worked fine with Qt 4.7. In 4.8 however it does not seem to be possible anymore. Including glew before QtOpenGL yields:
@/usr/include/QtOpenGL/qglfunctions.h:46:2: warning: #warning qglfunctions.h is not compatible with GLEW, GLEW defines will be undefined [-Wcpp]
/usr/include/QtOpenGL/qglfunctions.h:47:2: warning: #warning To use GLEW with Qt, do not include <QtOpenGL> or <QGLFunctions> after glew.h [-Wcpp]
and it later does not find functions like 'glUseProgram'. If I turn the includes around, the result is:
@/usr/include/GL/glew.h:84:2: error: #error gl.h included before glew.h
/usr/include/GL/glew.h:87:2: error: #error glext.h included before glew.h
I cannot find much information about how it would still be possible to use them together. I have a rather large codebase of platform independent c++ opengl code and I always used Qt for window/context creation etc on desktops. The dependency on glew is not necessary, if I could still call all gl* functions normally c style. The documentation of QGLFunctions indicates how to achieve this for the paintGL method only, which is obviously not enough.
Is there still a way to use glew and Qt 4.8 together? Or to drop glew as explained above?

Posts from The Cheesemonger
Life Lessons in Truck Form: New Haven's Caseus Cheese Truck
The Cheesemonger
I'm not done talking about the wedding I went to last weekend. The couple and their families made nearly all of the food themselves. That's right, no caterers.
That is, except for the grilled cheese.
Serving Cheese To a Crowd: Worthy Tips
The Cheesemonger
Last weekend, I went to a wedding with the most stunning display of cheese. And no wonder. The couple met when they were both working at a cheese shop.
If you're serving cheese to a party of over 100, you're bound to have a serious amount of cheese on your hands. How many types to serve, how to cut, how best to display, and how to get the most out of each wheel are all big cheese questions. Especially if you're serving it on your big day.
Turned Off to Blue Cheese? Cambozola's Your Ticket
The Cheesemonger
Blue cheese must be my favorite food group about which to proselytize. And I mean food group in full seriousness. Anyone who either loves or hates the stuff would consider it a class unto itself, with such particular ability to polarize cheese eaters.
To me, it's the most satisfying thing to convert a non-believer. I've made suggestions before about blues to try if it's just not your thing, but never before have I felt as confident in a gateway blue as this one.
Got Quince? Make Quince Paste! (Membrillo)
The Cheesemonger
My neighbor's tree is brimming with quince. Membrillo, a Spanish quince paste, is one of my go-to mates for cheese. And so yesterday, I decided to make some.
My Newest Favorite Cheese for Sandwiches
The Cheesemonger
I actually had an entirely different post planned for today and was going to forgo writing within our sandwich-themed week. But just yesterday, I took a long car ride, for which I threw together a quick cheese sandwich using the only cheese in my sister's refrigerator. And just like that, whoa. A cheese column was born.
Petaluma, California's Excellent New Dairy: Weirauch Creamery
The Cheesemonger
A few days ago, my mother took me by the wrist and led me towards the Weirauch Farm & Creamery stand at the Healdsburg, California, farmers' market. All of their offerings are delicious, but one in particular blew me away: Carabiner.
Wine and Cheese Pairing Success: Three Great Pairings to Try Yourself
The Cheesemonger
Last weekend, my two friends got married. During their welcome dinner, I conducted a small cheese and wine pairing with our other friend who's in the wine business. As promised from last week's post, following are the exact pairings that we decided on. Truly, all three were delicious. And you can replicate them quite easily.
The Wine and Cheese Challenge: Some Sure-Fire Pairings on the Fly
The Cheesemonger
Next weekend, one of my closest friends is getting married. A few days ago, the couple asked me and another friend who's a wine professional to organize a wine and cheese pairing for the welcome dinner. Last minute? Yep. Will I be able to taste the pairings beforehand? Nope. Even so, I'm not too worried. I've got some solid standbys that I've used in the past. Pairing anxiety? Not a chance.
The Best Things I Learned About Cheese in Europe: 5 European Cheese Lessons
The Cheesemonger
We're spending some time this week with European food, and so I decided to inflict some serious pain by looking back on my photos from a month-long jaunt to Europe I took last summer, just to see what cheese-related lessons I could share. Or reshare. With hundreds of photos to choose from, I had a hard time picking, but here are my top five European cheese takeaways.
Summer Recipe: Three Cheese-Stuffed Squash Blossoms
The Cheesemonger
Stuffed fried squash blossoms are easy to make. Promise. If you don't mind frying, this is a 15-minute process from start to finish. Tops. There are also certain ways to ensure a most delicious outcome. And it mainly has to do with the cheese.

Every time you go to an Arlington restaurant or food truck you pay a 4 percent meal tax in addition to a 5 percent sales tax. It's a custodial tax, meaning the restaurants hold onto your tax dollars until taxes are due.
But roughly 10 percent of operating food venues and 25 percent of all registered food venues don't give those taxes to the government. More than 200 restaurants out of roughly 900 operations registered in Arlington County are delinquent on their payments.
Collectively, restaurants owe nearly $1 million in taxes total. It's money that would normally go into a larger pool that funds the entire Arlington County budget, including transportation and education.
"What we're talking about is embezzlement," says Frank O'Leary, Arlington County Treasurer.
O'Leary says the problem is clear, but the answer is not. Officials can seize bank accounts, but property is much more difficult. Restaurants often lease equipment and space. And to go after owners, officials must prove responsibility, which is difficult and highly sensitive.
"All we can really seize is what's in the register that day and that's simply not enough," says O'Leary.
O'Leary plans to introduce a bill during the 2013 legislative session in Richmond that would allow local governments to close restaurants that don't pay. Until then, he says, patrons and tax payers carry the burden.
"One way or another, you're going to end up paying those taxes," he says.


text: Posted October 28, 2012 So the offense putting him in range to make kicks go unrecognized? You have to look at both... The offense was in the red zone 4 times and only got 1 touchdown... the 1 touchdown they did score came off of a defensive turnover that put the offense in the redzone somewhere around the 15 yard line. With all the 3 and outs forced today the defense was winning the field position battle. At some point you need to expect your offense to give you touchdowns instead of settling for field goals.

Cut to a seedy, lowlife, back stairwell somewhere inside Degrassi. Melanie and Kathleen have come to meet up with Joey and get their drugs. Wheels is there, too, looking horrified when Joey pulls out the drugs. And Joey keeps them in a tiny plastic box, the same kind usually reserved for pushpins, and the box is actually glued to the bottom of his skateboard.
Joey takes out a red capsule and declares, "New Zealand Zappers!" He's asking five bucks per pill, and ever the salesman, he says, "No pay, no play! No tip, no trip! No pills, no thrills!" No glove, no love! (Sorry, wrong episode.) The girls pay up, and he immediately threatens them: If they ever say where they got the pills, they'll be "pushing up dandelions." Oh, yes. I can seriously imagine Joey doing a drive-by on his skateboard.
He promises the pills bring "instant insanity". Wait, I thought this whole show brought on instant insanity. The girls just stand there, looking at the pills. Joey gets frustrated, saying he thought they were "streetwise". He then demonstrates how to take the pill. He swallows it, and immediately his head and neck go into Stevie Wonder-style gyrations. "Oh, wow," he says, looking around. "Mild! Cool! Very cool!" And now poor Wheels is stuck babysitting him. Wheels leads him away, and Joey again says, "Mild! Very cool!" I think I'm going to say that the next time I take any controlled substance. I'm going to pop a Sudafed and immediately go, "Mild... very mild!"
Once they're gone, the two girls continue to stare at their pills, and argue over who should take theirs first. Melanie again calls Kathleen "chicken", and they go around and around until finally, Melanie says they should do it at the same time.
They simultaneously pop their pills, and it's plainly obvious that neither girl is feeling anything. Regardless, Melanie decides to fake it. She says she's already feeling the effects. All that sweet, sweet New Zealand zapping-ness. "Cool... very cool..."
Kathleen, for some reason, goes along with this shared hallucination. "Mild... very mild!" The two of them are suddenly giddy. A group of tuba players passes by (I'm guessing it's the same group of tuba players who endlessly walk the halls of Degrassi), and they both laugh hysterically.
Elsewhere, Wheels is outraged at Joey for selling drugs. Joey says, "Wheels, my man, have a little faith!" He reveals that he actually sold them vitamin pills. He even has a big bottle with him that says VITAMINS across the front. He says, "I saved these kids from a life of destitution! And gave 'em nourishing vitamins!" Wow, something is wrong here. That was actually a funny line. What the heck is going on?
Cut to Rompin' Raditch's Rockin' Homeroom. Kathleen and Melanie enter, making a big show out of laughing at their own self-induced high. And Raditch, seeing this oddball behavior, simply... clears his throat. Very loudly, causing both girls to calm down. But you can tell by their goofy expressions that the power of suggestion has firmly taken hold.
Yick Yu enters and hands in the paper that he copied from Stephanie. Raditch again calls him "Mr. Yu the Disorganized", but he's impressed that Yick turned in his paper early. Early? Oh, that's not suspicious, at all. Come on, Yick. Who turns in their homework early?
Yick turns when he hears the two girls laughing loudly, and then there's a hard edit here that makes me suspect some footage was lost. Suddenly, it's a new day, and Arthur and Yick are entering the school.
Cut to Raditch handing back papers. When he hands back Melanie's paper, he tells her, "Very imaginative. Where do you get your ideas?" Hah! A drug reference! See, aspiring rock musicians? You don't need drugs to be creative. Just take vitamin pills and trip out on yourself for a while!
Yick walks up to get his paper, and it turns out he got an A-minus. Mr. Raditch (now wearing a very interesting lavender sport coat) warmly congratulates him on this real improvement. For those keeping track at home, this means he got a better grade than Stephanie did when she originally turned in this paper. Hey, it's all in the penmanship, baby.
Actually, I'm thinking this is just another example of what I like to call the Jamie Foxx Effect. If you really want to be recognized by your peers, make sure to suck at your craft for as long as possible, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, do something passable. You'll be showered with unbelievable praise. Or perhaps I should call it the Fourth Season Enterprise Effect. When something goes from shitty to adequate, people have a tendency to hail it as the Second Coming.
Right, this episode. Yick looks confused as he returns to his seat. In the background, Raditch talks about how next week's assignment is to write "a letter to a world leader". Hey, cool! Next week, Yick can just copy Jeremy's homework from last year!
Cut to Arthur and Yick heading to the park to shoot some hoops. Yu is bothered by the grade discrepancy, however. Arthur tries to convince him the good grade means that Raditch doesn't hate him. Yick, however, considers this more proof that he's "an unfair marker". Actually, I think all this "proves" is that Raditch hated Stephanie as much as the rest of us, and only wanted to give her good grades so he could pass her and let Avery deal with her.
But Yick is convinced that Raditch "was so impressed I could do anything! He gave me too good a mark!" You know, there's not a whole lot of difference between a B-plus and an A-minus, Yick. Regardless, it appears the results of this "experiment" are inconclusive, at least in Yick's mind.
Arthur suggests just, you know, talking to Mr. Raditch, like a human being with some common sense might do, but of course that's not going to happen. Now that Yick is getting good grades, "everything's perfect", and he wants to continue copying Stephanie's papers for the rest of the school year.
Arthur is outraged. He says once as an experiment is fine, but "twice is cheating!" Yeah, come on. You're allowed to copy at least one paper word-for-word. It says so in the Degrassi school charter! But two papers? This time, you've gone too far.
Abruptly, Arthur shoots and makes a basket. Thankfully, this provides visible evidence of the help that Yick has provided, right when the story needs it most. "See what my coaching's done?" Yick asks. "I help you, you help me, right?" Yu are one manipulative bastard, Yu know that?
It appears the guilt is far too much for Arthur to handle, because in the next scene, he returns to Stephanie's room. This time, Steph is painting her nails, and hides her foot behind the bed when Arthur knocks. Is this what Stephanie does all day and all night? Secretly determine ways to be even sluttier? Arthur enters and returns the paper, and then just stands there. Steph again has to goad him into just coming out with it, and this time he explains that the experiment was a success.
He says, "But the thing about experiments is, they need to be replicated!" Wow, check out the big brain on Astrodog. Understanding the scientific method and everything.
Steph asks, "Replicated?" So... this is a word she's not familiar with? How did she get a B-plus last year, again?
Arthur explains the general concept of repeating an experiment to see if it produces the same results. Essentially, this means he needs to borrow another paper. Steph asks if he's in "some kind of trouble". Almost like there are loan sharks who accept payment in the form of junior high homework assignments. "I want the life story of George Washington Carver by midnight tonight, or I break your kneecaps!"
Arthur says there's no trouble, he just really needs the paper. Stephanie flat out refuses. Then Arthur gets a truly pained look on his face. And I sympathize with him. He doesn't want it come to this, I don't want it to come to this, but alas, it has come to this. The cycle of emotional blackmail never ends. Guilt begets guilt. Arthur is desperate, at the end of his rope, ready to do and say anything to get that precious paper. This does not bode well for Stephanie.
He swallows hard. "You know, Steph... I don't tell Mom how you change your clothes every morning, and you go around school wearing tons of makeup when you're not supposed to." Ouch. Steph is livid, but there's not much she can do. I wonder if the Degrassi student body would have ever elected her, if they'd known how vulnerable she is to these kind of personal attacks. It's like electing a womanizing Rhodes scholar from Arkansas.
Steph recognizes this for what it is. "That's blackmail!" And Arthur smirks hilariously, and nods ever so slightly, almost as if to say, "Yep, you bet your sweet ass it's blackmail, and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it." How I wish Arthur would have actually said those words just now. I would have had a recap-gasm. And this is yet another moment that I actually find humorous and entertaining in an intentional way. What's going on? It's hard to bag on this episode when it's actually being good.
Cut to the Degrassi school library. Joey and Wheels peruse the paperbacks, and Joey flirts with Wordly Loosey. Enter Melanie and Kathleen, and Joey is suddenly filled with dread. He assumes they're onto his vitamin pill scam, and here to demand their money back. Weirdly, as they stomp up to him, Melanie and Kathleen are suddenly flanked by Wheelchair Girl and some random Latino kid we've never seen before (and will never see again). I'm thinking Latino Kid may have possibly been on Mr. T's tour bus at some point in time, but I can't prove it.
"Look," Joey says, "I can explain—"
"We wanna buy some more," Melanie says intensely. She turns to the Latino Kid and Wheelchair Girl and declares, "They want some, too!" Hold on, now. Wheelchair Girl wants to trip out on New Zealand Zappers? Really? Degrassi definitely goes there, doesn't it? Most TV shows for teen audiences would shy away from showing the disabled indulging in recreational drug use, but not this show. No way.
And by the way, I can now conclusively confirm that the part of Wheelchair Girl gets recast in a few episodes. And the new Wheelchair Girl ends up getting a ton of screen time, especially in the high school years. (Where she'll actually get to use real drugs, and so will Melanie and Kathleen.) So just think of the girl you see now as the Dick York of Wheelchair Girls.
Joey barely misses a beat, and just goes with the flow, and tells them to meet him tomorrow morning. "You bring the money, I'll make you funny." There's little chance of that happening with these terrible actors, but I get what he means. Is there any reason Joey is rhyming everything? Is speaking in verse a part of the drug trade? Do all dealers talk in iambic pentameter? Just curious.
Cut to the next morning. Joey already has his pushpin plastic case open on the bottom of his skateboard. He pulls out more capsules and hands them to the kids, and gets more cash money in return. It's all about the Benjamins, baby. Or, in this case, the Abrahams.
Wheelchair Girl's name is Mia.
This is the most hilarious recap. The weird logic of the show, as seen just about every scene, the recurring themes, the product placement, and the random awkwardness that peppers Degrassi makes me want to watch it again to drink the ridiculousness in again. I think it's true that a few of the characters are drawn with authenticity and the odd line is prescient - which could make it hard to make fun of it altogether. But it's not fun to dissect and parse something with no redeeming aspects whatsoever.

Art Exposure for Homeschoolers brings students to a deeper understanding of art as a discipline. Utilizing the collections and exhibitions of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, educators will facilitate discussion about what makes something "art," why artists make objects, and the aesthetic choices that go into creating. The study of art is more than the final product, or a created work, but the ability to talk logically about what one sees, and discuss the content issues that some artists explore. Art Exposure encourages students to experience art first hand, and respond through engaged dialogue with other students, and museum educators. This conversation in the galleries leads to a personal, inquisitive relationship with art, building critical thinking skills that apply to the many facets of children's lives.
This unique program is offered both fall and spring semesters and covers art history, critique of art, and aesthetic choices, with hands-on projects to encapsulate the learning objectives of each session. While the type of art or medium used for projects (drawing, painting, printmaking, etc.) may repeat, each semester is unique based on the current gallery exhibits.
Art Exposure meets during the 2nd week of each month, September through May:
2nd Thurs, 10:00-11:30am K-5th grades (always the week of the 2nd Tues; not always the 2nd Thurs)
2nd Tues, 12:00-1:30pm 6th-8th grades (new age group this year!)
2nd Tues, 2:00-4:00pm 9th-12th grades
Location: Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, 901 South College St, Auburn, AL
The cost is $15 per semester with a $30 family max regardless of age groups. Checks should be made payable to the JCSM and brought to the first session. You must pre-register! Each class is limited in size.
For additional information or to register, please contact Nancy Melkerson, n_melkerson@
