Are you a Gmail, Facebook, Campfire or (Insert Your Favorite Webapp Here) fanatic? Do you have 20 or more browser tabs open at all times? Are you tired of some random site or Flash ad crashing your browser and causing you to lose your (say) Google Spreadsheets data in another tab?
If so, Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) provide a great solution for your webapp woes. Using Fluid, you can create SSBs to run each of your favorite webapps as a separate desktop application. Fluid gives any webapp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, and logical separation from your other web browsing activity.
How does it work?
Fluid itself is a very small application. When launched, Fluid displays a small window where you specify the URL of a webapp you'd like to run in a Site Specific Browser. Provide an application name, click 'Create' and you'll be prompted to launch the new native Mac app you've just created.
Use Fluid to run YouTube, GTalk, Flickr, Basecamp, Delicious, .Mac webmail, or any other webapp as a separate Mac desktop application.
Anytime you click a link to another site in an SSB, the link is opened in your system default web browser, keeping your SSB dedicated to the original site you've specified.
Required OS: not specified

also, would be nice if I could somehow use it with 1Password - having just created a SSB for a webapp I have no idea what the password is without 1Password
it would be nice if this kept the cookies seperate to safari and to other fluid SSBs as any websites open in fluid are vulnerable to XSS attacks from websites open in safari. hopefully it will do that before coming out of beta, otherwise quite promising.
From Fluid Developer: Hi all, thanks for trying fluid!
@sjaq try v0.4, the issue with ports should be fixed. please let me know if its not.
@themacguiy also check out v0.4 and let me know if its still not working for you. this should work.
@el_cravito that's correct, the free beta expires in March... I haven't decided yet how to move forward beyond that... not sure if it will be for free or fee... feedback welcome. :0]
@avocade try v0.4, this url: "https://mail.google.com:443/" will work now. please let me know if it doesnt work for you.
Nice app. It would be even better it if supported Camino's embedded view. I like to use Safari 3.x for daily browsing because of speed but for some sites (i.e. Googe Notebook) I have to use camino because of some compatibility issues.
Mozilla is working on something very similar, called Prism (just google "mozilla labs prism"). I use it for Facebook all the time... and if I know Mozilla, it'll stay freeware.
I like the app. I didn't have a problem with http:// although I didn't try https://
This app is perfect for what it does.
I never use gmail without SSL, so https:// and port 443 is definitely a must!
From what i read in the developer's website, this beta version will expire on March 31st, 2008.
Anybody knows if Fluid will still be freeware after the beta period?
(Maybe the developer could give us that information...)
Great app, one problem though: it doesn't work on ports different from 80
Great little app. One small thing to remember: don't add http:// or https:// to the URL. It will not work. It doesn't even tell you what you did wrong. I hope the developer releases an update soon!

LACKAWAXEN- At the March Lackawaxen Township meeting, township residents expressed their frustrations regarding the condition the Towpath Road. In response to the public's concern, Lackawaxen Supervisors have created a petition to "Save the Towpath."
Towpath Road, also known as State Route 4006, is slated only for routine maintenance this year, said Michael Taluto, PennDOT District #4 spokesman. He said this includes pothole patching. SR 4006, he said, was on their "10-year list" to be paved at some point in the next few years.
Supervisor Mike Mancino wrote in an email, "the facts are simple; the once scenic byway is a mess and PennDOT does not have the funds to repair it. We can all understand this, but it doesn't have to be the end of the conversation." The peitition can be found at http://chn.ge/1g4tO8Z.
Mancino also wrote concerning the petition, "It may not be the final solution, but it is a great beginning. Please Share, Tweet, Post, Re-Post and spread the word. Every signature counts …….. together, everything is possible. Hey, you never know."
One woman who resides in Lackawaxen Township who asked to be anonymous commented about PennDOT's plan to only do maintenance to the Towpath Road this year. "Their response is totally unacceptable! Patch work is just throwing the money in an abyss," she said. "The road is so bad that it needs a sub-layer before they repave the entire road. This road has been neglected while the road to Woodloch is pristine!"
She continued, "The people in our community should be outraged. We don't want to hear about a lack of resources cause if we needed roads to be salted they'd find the funds cause its a safety issue. This road is a safety issue as well. Take funds from other sources if necessary -as if our taxes aren't enough. Money talks - walks. I'm sure contractors would agree that the above is the proper way to repair the road – which was washed away from the bad winter we had."
Taluto said that PennDOT would look at the petition once it is submitted.

As the Seminary continued to grow, its activities quickly expanded beyond the
spaces that had been provided for them in Alexander Hall. The first needs for additional
space were directly related to the twin goals of the Seminary: piety and learning. By
1830, more space was needed for worship and for books and study. The Seminary began
seeking funds first for a chapel, and in 1834 Miller Chapel, situated between Alexander
House and Alexander Hall, was completed. (The Chapel was moved to its current position
in 1933, at which time a chancel and basement were added.)
In 1843 James Lenox, a philanthropist and bibliophile from New York City, built for
the Seminary one of the first free-standing academic library buildings in America, Lenox
Library. Alexander described it as "a beautiful Gothic building, 80 feet by 50, of brown
stone … The floors are of marble. The roof is slated. The whole, except the vestibule,
is in one room, with a gallery. There are alcoves on two sides of the room."
Another building was added to the Seminary campus in 1847. Located behind Alexander
Hall, this building contained a kitchen, dining room, quarters for the cook, and a
hospital room. The building was used later as a dormitory, then as a gymnasium, and in
1945 it was converted into office space and became the Administration
Building.By 1860, the Seminary had run out of boarding options for its
students. Isabella Brown, a wealthy widow from Baltimore, had agreed to build a second
dormitory. But when the Civil War broke out, Mrs. Brown, whose sympathies were with the
South, declined to go forward with the plan. However, when Professor McGill, whom she
knew, wrote to her and assured her that "Southern and Northern students were alike
privileged and fostered here" and that some of the Southern students "had actually
fought in the ranks of the Confederate soldiery" yet were able to walk "unmolested, and
without reproach" in the streets and halls of Princeton, her disinclination was
reversed, and Brown Hall became the only major building constructed in Princeton during
the Civil War. It was completed in 1865.
Although development of many larger theological seminaries was disrupted by the
Civil War, Princeton Seminary continued to grow. More room was needed for classes, and
in 1878 Stuart Hall opened to function as the Seminary's primary lecture hall. The
building bears the name of the brothers Robert and Alexander Stuart, wealthy sugar
refiners from New York City, who donated funds for the building.
By this time more room was needed for books, and in 1879 the New Lenox Library,
also built by James Lenox, opened behind the Lenox Library. This high Victorian brick
building provided more space for study; the older library was used for rare and less
frequently used books.In time, additional housing facilities were needed. In
1893, with funds from a bequest of the widow of Robert Stuart, Hodge Hall was built as a
third dormitory for the Seminary. The building was designed so that each room would
receive sunlight at some point during the day.

On August 7, the FASB issued an exposure draft on the definition of a public business entity and endorsed the PCC proposal for VIE considerations of common control leases.
Definition of a Public Business Entity
On August 7, the FASB issued an exposure draft on the definition of a public business entity, which would create a de facto definition of a nonpublic entity. The proposed definition does not replace the definitions of a public entity currently existing in GAAP. Instead, the definition will be used in determining the scope for which entities are eligible for the accounting alternatives approved by the FASB and the PCC.
Under the proposal, an entity meeting any one of a set of five criteria will be considered a public business entity and thus not eligible to apply the alternatives available to nonpublic entities.
The proposed definition will result in more companies being considered "public business entities" than under the definitions used in U.S. GAAP today. Accordingly, companies should pay careful attention to determine if they are eligible for the alternatives.
Comments on the proposed definition are due by September 20.
FASB endorsement of PCC Proposal
Also on August 7, the FASB endorsed the PCC proposal that would provide a nonpublic entity the option to not apply the VIE model to certain common control leasing arrangements.
The FASB is expected to issue a proposed ASU by August 23, for which the comment period is expected to end on October 14. The PCC intends to redeliberate the proposal at its November 12 meeting. If the PCC re-approves the proposal after the exposure period ends, the proposal will be subject to final endorsement by the FASB before a final ASU is issued.

Yarn Profile: Mission Falls 1824 Cotton
First Impressions
This means you don't need to be limited by where you live. If you love a winter Mission Falls pattern but live in the tropics, no problem. Just use the 1824 Cotton instead.
It's currently available in 24 colors, mostly subtle hues with a few bold basics.
Knitting Up
I knit at a rapid clip. The yarn slid through my hands smoothly and easily, and I was sorely tempted to turn my test swatch into the beginnings of a sweater.
Blocking / Washing
There was a very slight bleeding in the water, with no visible fading once dry. The gauge remained consistent, and the swatches blocked flat and square with almost no prodding.
My swatches survived a significant amount of abuse before showing any signs of degradation. When they finally did begin to age, their deterioration was concealed by the yarn's nubby texture except when examined up close.
It's pleasing to the touch, easy to work with, and wears well. It knits up quickly and produces a rippled texture that makes even the plainest stockinette look attractive.
Combine this with any of the fresh, simple patterns from Mission Falls designer Mags Kandis and you'll be very pleased.
Read more about Mags Kandis and Mission Falls in the Spring 2001 issue of Interweave Knits.
Previous reader comments
"I have knitted four projects with the Mission Falls yarn. One sweater in the 1824 Wool and the other three in the 1824 Cotton. Personally my favorite was the wool. The cotton knits up nicely and is pleasant to work with, however it is a roving cotton. (stranded cotton wrapped by thread) People seem reluctant to mention this in their reviews of this yarn. Roving cotton will, over time, pill and get a fuzzy look. It is, unfortunately, the nature of the beast. If you don't mind the fuzzy look, then this cotton is great. For people who would like their yarn to keep a more polished look, I would suggest trying something else." T. Hanks, 9/8/2001
"I am currently working on my 5th sweater with 1824 cotton. I am absolutely in love with it. I rarely have any 'ugly' loose stitches as I have occasionally found with other cottons. Before washing my first sweater, I made a tested a swatch with 7 colors in stripes and checks-indigo next to white. After being washed and wrung out [which I would never do with a sweater] there was no color transfer. With left over balls, I have made myself some washcloths. So soft, such a luxury." parkerok, 3/14/01

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S.-led military command in Afghanistan has decided it will no longer publish figures on Taliban attacks, a week after acknowledging that it had incorrectly reported a 7 percent decline in such attacks last year.
A spokesman for the international coalition, Jamie Graybeal, said Tuesday that attacks observed by coalition forces will still be recorded, but the overall number will not be tallied or published online. Graybeal said the coalition's figures will become increasingly inaccurate because Afghans are conducting most combat operations.
Last week The Associated Press revealed that the coalition had determined that its original report of a 7 percent decline was wrong and that there actually was no decline at all for 2012. It blamed a clerical error.
Graybeal said the corrected 2012 figures will not be published.

It's always wonderful to hear old-school tunes such as Dinner and a Movie played with spot-on technical finesse. Cavern is evidently still in its infancy: it's painfully slow and somewhat hollow. Page is a bit off for Esther, but Trey always manages to hit me right in the humanity with his tragically majestic solo that closes this ethereal tale of violated innocence.
This Tweezer belongs in my personal top 5! Fishman SCREAMS all the lyrics, and liberally sprinkles the ensuing jam with yelps and moans. The rest of the band takes this as a cue to follow suit with some memorable mayhem. The Uncle Ebenezer breakdown sounds like a snippet lifted from BBFCFM. Trey persistently bludgeons the audience with manic riff after manic riff. I've discovered that I can't listen to this Tweezer more than once a day, or I'll suffer an achy neck.
The setlist itself adequately tells the story of set 2. Possum is a good start, but the energy fizzles from there; things really don't heat up again until the set-closing Weekapaug. The enthusiasm carries over from there to the GTBT encore, with machine-gun Trey pulling out all the stops.
If you're reading this, you must be interested in early-90's Phish go ahead and grab this show, even if only for the Tweezer!


text: The Halloween series has always been a favorite of mine. Honestly, I liked everything up until the Paul Rudd one ("Halloween 6"), which is kind of sad because I love me some Paul Rudd. And yes, for those of you that are asking, I even love "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch". But back on point, on August 21, Anchor Bay will be revamping two of my favorite movies from the series, "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" and "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers".

Using Groovy to read values from a different view object
By Grant Ronald-Oracle on Aug 15, 2011
We recently posted an ADF Insider Essentials that showed how to build an LOV switcher. In this example, Frank Nimphius wrote a custom method into the PaymentTypeVOImpl which returns the string CASH or CREDIT depending on the lookup value passed in (1 or 2). This method is then called from the Orders view object via a Groovy expression.
However, there is an even quicker way without even having to create a custom method. To explain, I'm going to use the good old Employees and Jobs tables from the HR schema. Lets assume, that when you create a new employee their default role is AC_MGR (account manager) and their default salary should be the minimun salary for an accout manager. In this case, we'll actually read the minimum salary into the EmployeesVO.Salary field from the JobsVO.Min_Salary field.
1) First create default ADF BC based on Employees and Jobs
2) In the EmployeesVO add a view accessor to JobsVO (and call it JobsView). This "links up" the EmployeesVO to the JobsVO
3) Set the default EmployeesVO.JobId to AC_MGR
4) Set the default EmployeesVO.Salary to JobsView.findByKey(key(JobId),1)[0].MinSalary
So what does this Groovy expression do? It "walks" to the JobsVO using the JobsView accessor and then calls findByKey using the JobId. This returns an array and since we know JobId is unique we can just get the first entry's MinSalary.

A noteworthy statistic in a what was a tough season for the football team was that senior quarterback Sam Carlson finished his career as the leading passer in Saints history. Carlson threw for 3,336 yards in his career.
He also holds the single season passing record with 1759 yards and is believed to hold the single season TD record with 11.
Carlson may continue his football career beyond high school as he is receiving interest from several colleges about playing football in college.

Business leaders defend airport CEO's travel
Who should pay for airport CEO Thella Bowens' trips as chairwoman of a trade group?
The San Diego airport 18% (28)
The trade group 45% (72)
Bowens 38% (60)
160 total votes.
On behalf of San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, I am writing in response to the recent UT San Diego story on Thella Bowens and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
As we all strive to build a world-class economy for our region, the further development of our airport's infrastructure and the expansion of flights to and from San Diego International Airport are critical factors to our ongoing competitiveness and success. Thella Bowens has been a tremendous leader in advancing this agenda. Her work and travels have raised San Diego's profile in measurable ways and given us the opportunity to showcase our region as a viable option for both domestic and international route expansion.
For full disclosure, Thella serves on the board of the San Diego Regional EDC and we work together regularly to promote San Diego for business expansion and investment. She and her staff are critical partners in the implementation of our regional economic development agenda.
As the UT article states, Thella does travel often, and quite frankly, we need her to. Carriers don't just simply decide to expand service to San Diego because it is a nice place. They do so because professional staff meet with them regularly, develop relationships and strategic alliances, and make a compelling case that San Diego can provide them with more value, profit and opportunity than other regions and destinations. The securing of direct flights to both London and Tokyo on Thella's watch is proving to be game-changing for tourism, international business/trade and our broader economy.
We understand and appreciate UT San Diego's focus on fiscal responsibility and the prudent use of taxpayer dollars, but we truly believe that the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority should be judged on its success in supporting our region's tourism and economic development efforts. Thella Bowens and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority have been praised nationally (and internationally) for environmental stewardship, industry leadership and financial management. At San Diego Regional EDC we see the value of their work and partnership every day. I know I speak for numerous parties throughout the region when I say that their efforts to expand and improve air travel to and from San Diego is appreciated and respected more than they know.

President & CEO
San Diego Regional EDC
Huge dividends
On behalf of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, I am writing in response to the U-T's story and editorial on the San Diego Regional Airport Authority staff travel expenses.
The Chamber recognizes and supports the need for our public agencies to be fiscally responsible, but that does not mean that they should not wisely invest in activities that will generate benefit to our region. The Chamber believes the expenses detailed by the U-T ARE reasonable given the markets visited and the kind of responsible investment on behalf of the airport's users.
This investment has paid huge dividends to our region in the form of new concessions, terminal expansion efforts, a rental car facility, as well as a dual level roadway, a massive sustainability effort throughout the airport, all of which are based, in part, on best practices learned at these conferences.
This investment has also lead to incredibly successful route development making San Diego more accessible. While it is true that the decision-making includes technical data to demonstrate customer demand for routes, it is also based on marketing efforts undertaken by the Airport Authority to demonstrate community support and commitment to making these routes work. The Chamber has participated in helping demonstrate this support, which has manifested itself in several new routes - including London, Tokyo, Washington, DC and Cabo San Lucas - that not only bring the world closer to San Diego, they generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic benefit to our region.
The Chamber believes that the U-T and all stakeholders in San Diego should not only support the fiscally responsible efforts of the Airport Authority, but applaud its success in making the airport a more efficient, lean, green, revenue-generating machine that boosts our region's economy and provides excellent service to San Diegans and our visitors alike.
Mark Leslie
Interim President & CEO
San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce
Lack of understanding
While your article on Airport Authority CEO Thella Bowens was fairly balanced, the comments on the online article showed a serious lack of understanding about Thella's job as well as the strong respect that she enjoys in her industry. Before I retired, I worked closely with Thella on airline attraction projects -- every bit as competitive and difficult as any other economic development project -- and I enjoyed her support on some of EDC's projects. She deserves great credit for attracting non-stop service to our airport, including British Airways and most recently Japan Air Lines, which is absolutely key to our region's growth potential in global industries that are an important part of our economic future.
Every organization that is a leader in its field invests in learning from others and in sharing its knowledge to make its industry better in issues ranging from safety and security to funding capital projects. In the almost ten years that she has served as chief executive of the Airport Authority, Thella has not only run an award-winning airport, overseen expansion projects (including the on-time, on-schedule $1.2 billion Terminal 2 project) and also found time to be involved in the community promoting both business and tourism, she has enjoyed the respect of her peers in being voted to lead the US board of the most important airport association in the world.
Thella deserves our admiration and our thanks for her contributions to the San Diego economy.

Is a Baby Really Born If She's Not on Facebook?
I recently got an email from a friend asking how my pregnancy was going.
Here's the thing: I gave birth a few months ago to a full-term baby.
Here's the other thing: I didn't share our news on Facebook, Instagram or other social media. (I did, however, send an online birth announcement to friends and family along with a photo.)
When I emailed my friend that my daughter was nearly three months old, she was shocked and replied, "Why haven't I seen her on Facebook then?"
This was not an isolated event. Even people who received the birth announcement are puzzled at why our daughter is not making regular appearances on the Internet.
The answer is that my husband and I made the decision that we will not post photos or information about our daughter online… ever. If she chooses to have a presence on social media, that will be up to her. We want her to be able to write, and photograph, her own story without parental interference.
This wasn't a spur of the moment decision for us. We had decided to keep her offline months before she was born. And a big part of our decision is founded on my experience writing my novel "Don't Call Me Baby." It's a book about teenager who has grown up with a mommy blogger and it explores how difficult it is to have privacy and establish your own identify when your mother has done it for you online since birth.
While writing the book, I did a lot of research on mommy bloggers. I read their blogs. I looked at their Facebook Fan Pages and I checked out their Instagram feeds. And truthfully, even though I know being a blogger is a business, I still didn't understand why most mommy bloggers feel the need to publicly detail their children's lives. Posting pictures of your baby's poop might be cute (?) now, but where and when does the invasion stop? Their first period? What about their rights? Celebrities are, understandably, all over the paparazzi to stop stalking and publishing photos of their children, but who's protecting the everyday baby from an overzealous mommy blogger?
Shortly after I turned in the manuscript to my editor, I found out I was pregnant.
Fast forward nine months. In those first hazy weeks of parenthood, I found myself up late at night breastfeeding. There were moments of bliss and happiness, but also moments of loneliness and confusion. I found myself googling things. Lots of things. I found myself reading blogs. Yes, mommy blogs.
Around the same time, I also started taking lots of photos of my daughter. Since we live in Florida, her first trip to the beach was a big deal. I had big hopes that she'd take to the ocean like her mama and be a mermaid on a leg pass. But when got to the beach, I realized I forgot my camera. I almost wanted to turn around, to pause the moment, because I wanted to be able document the event for all of eternity.
As I pleaded my case, my husband frowned and called me "Mommylicious," which is the name of the mommy blogger in my book. And he was right. I was acting just like her. While I have no pictures of my daughter dipping her toes in the Gulf, I have memories because I was actually present for the moment instead of behind a camera. But a part of me still wishes I had a photo of it as well.
While I have remained firm in my decision not to post about my daughter in social media, I have come to a better understanding of the mommy blogger in my own book. Writing "Don't Call Me Baby," I felt much closer to my first-person teen character. I know her. I understand her. Now three short months later, I can honestly say that I also know and understand the mother. But that's still not enough for me to start a Tumblr in my daughter's name. Promise.
Gwendolyn Heasley is the author of "Don't Call Me Baby."

Former Cal star Allen Crabbe apparently will get what he sought from Thursday night's NBA draft.
"He'll be a first-rounder," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said.
What happens beyond that, nobody knows, including Crabbe.
"It's been my dream my entire life to play in the NBA. I'm just worried about getting myself there," said Crabbe, who will attend the draft at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. "It's not like college -- you can't choose a team you want to go to."
Crabbe said he's not nervous about his right foot, in which he developed tendinitis during workouts a couple of weeks ago at New York and Brooklyn, causing him to cancel several team visits. But he made stops this week at Milwaukee and Brooklyn.
"It's definitely a lot better," Crabbe said of his foot.
The Warriors won't be Crabbe's destination -- barring a last-minute deal, Golden State does not have a pick in the two-round draft.
In a draft class widely regarded as mediocre, there is considerable depth at shooting guard, Crabbe's position. A recent mock draft by NBAdraft.net projected that nine shooting guards and two combo guards would be taken in the first round.
"It's a pretty strong draft for guards," said Scotty Stirling, an NBA talent evaluator for more than 30 years, most recently with the Sacramento Kings.
The top prospects at the position are Victor Oladipo of Indiana and Ben McLemore of Kansas. After that, there is less consensus.
Shabazz Muhammad is considered a mid-first round pick after one season at UCLA. Crabbe, the Pac-12 Player of the Year, is projected 25th to the Los Angeles Clippers by NBAdraft.net and 27th to the Denver Nuggets by Draftexpress.com.
Stirling said Crabbe's game will translate well to the NBA, especially if he continues to develop his ability to attack the basket off the dribble.
"He's going to be much better up here," Stirling said. "He's pretty good defensively, and he's not reluctant to pass. He might be very good right now (as a perimeter shooter) without being great. He'll get better."
At 6-foot-6, Crabbe was known primarily as a catch-and-shoot player when he arrived in Berkeley three years ago. Opponents built their game plans around driving him off the 3-point line, and Crabbe responded by adding a midrange game.
He knows he still isn't a great finisher at the rim, but that has been his focus since declaring for the draft after his junior season. Crabbe has worked since early April with A.J. Diggs, a former Cal guard and now a basketball trainer affiliated with Crabbe's agent, Sam Goldfeder.
Crabbe said he worked with Diggs five times a week to improve his conditioning as well as his ballhandling skills and effectiveness off the pick-and-roll.
"We wanted to try to add some pieces to his game," Diggs said.
"I showed people some things they probably didn't think I could do," Crabbe said.

Last week, Susan Hamley announced her resignation after 10 years of dedicated service as director of Snowmass Tourism. She characterized her decision as "bittersweet." Reading between the lines, as I'm wont to do, I would imagine that the better part of the job was becoming overwhelming.
In 2003, when Susan came aboard to lead the Snowmass Marketing and Special Events Department, it was just her, a coordinator and a manageable and efficient five-member board composed of marketing professionals experienced in various aspects of our resort programming and infrastructure.
Prior to Susan's arrival, town voters passed a 2.5-percent sales tax to fund marketing and special events activities, and subsequently the voters also passed a 2.4-percent lodging tax to fund group sales. Eventually the town merged its marketing, special events and group sales departments under the Snowmass Tourism umbrella, which Susan has been leading since its inception.
Snowmass Tourism now has 13 employees, a large nine-member board and an annual budget in the neighborhood of $5 million, quite a bit more than Aspen and many other competitive resorts.
When the original department was established, it was the intention of the Town Council at the time to make sure there were firm Chinese walls established between the two bodies in order to prevent the council from succumbing to the temptation to interfere in areas in which they had no expertise, as well as being tempted to use the significant tax funds that were going to be generated for purposes not directly connected to marketing, special events and ultimately group sales activities.
At the beginning, Susan reported to the five-member board with what was then essentially advisory input from the town manager. The Town Council had overall approval of the department's annual budget, but it did not get into the weeds by micromanaging the line items in that budget.
Somewhere along the line in recent years, the Town Council, as well as the town manager, decided they wanted to make a structural change in the way things previously operated. And since they like to micromanage just about everything else, the Chinese walls that separated and protected the tourism department from the Town Council came tumbling down, and Susan was put in the structurally dysfunctional position of now reporting to what essentially turns out to be 15 different bosses composed of the nine-member board, the town manager and five Town Council members. All have their own vision as to how marketing and group sales should be conducted, and many are not shy about communicating their differing viewpoints and demanding adherence to these viewpoints by the tourism leader and department.
Back in my show-biz days, I was frequently approached by friends and friends of friends with ideas for TV shows and movies. Unfortunately none of these well-meaning folks had a clue as to what goes into the creation, preparation and execution of these productions. Just like the misconception that everyone has a viable idea for a TV show or movie lurking somewhere in their minds, it appears our amateur marketers on Town Council harbor similar views when it comes to marketing, event planning and group sales.
This has led to a tug-of-war between our professional and experienced personnel and some of the recent additions to the enlarged board and our armchair experts on Town Council, which has resulted in significant tensions between all involved. I would guess that Susan decided that she's finally had enough and would be much happier in more serene pastures.
Anyone steeped in organizational structuring would quickly come to the conclusion that what we now have is inefficient, ineffective and will quickly lead to significant frustration by anyone heading this organization.
If a review of this organizational mess, as well as the lessons learned along the way, is not quickly conducted along with the implementation of the appropriate changes that are necessary, any qualified and experienced candidate to follow Susan would have to have their heads examined before accepting this job, no matter how attractive the compensation package.
Susan, you've put up with this dysfunctional mess longer than any of us had the right to expect, and for this and your long and dedicated tenure we are grateful for all you accomplished along the way. Good luck in all your future endeavors, which hopefully will be less chaotic than the last few years as head of Snowmass Tourism.

Middle English (denoting a flag raised on a pole as a rallying point, the authorized exemplar of a unit of measurement, or an upright timber): shortening of Old French estendart, from estendre 'extend'; sense 3 of the noun, influenced by the verb stand.
A standard, from Old French estendre 'to extend', was originally a flag raised on a pole as a rallying point for soldiers, and typically carrying the distinctive badge of a leader, nation, or city. The word appears first in English with reference to the Battle of the Standard in 1138, between the English and the Scots. The 'standard' in question was apparently the mast of a ship with flags at the top, mounted on a wagon brought on to the battlefield. In later use the idea of the royal flag or 'standard' came to represent a source of authority, the centre from which commands are issued. This led to its modern use in connection with the setting of a fixed scale of weights and measures, and indeed of any established level of quality or quantity.

Neat indeed.
Excellent! Searched for a while, tried Switch but got nailed by the Snow Leopard compatibility issues. This just worked !
Works just as advertised - keep-it-simple feature set, but you don't need much more, compared to the pricey converters out there. For those comparing, Switch - a free WMA converter - has documented problems with Snow Leopard. Another option would be the excellent donation-ware XLD, which has a richer feature set, but doesn't convert WMA files.
Thanks to the developer for this.

Investigators are trying to track down a convicted sex offender after a 14-year-old girl told authorities he forced her to have sex with him, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Brian Lacy, 32, also is wanted for failing to register his current address with authorities, who found he was not at his reported address while investigating the claims of the 14-year-old.
According to reports, the victim had gone to Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, and then told detectives about the sexual encounter with Lacy from a week before. She claimed Lacy had lured her to his apartment by asking her to give something to her grandmother, but forced the teen to have sex with him once she arrived.
The girl's mother learned of the encounter and confronted Lacy, who then fled, a sheriff's office press release noted.
Detectives tried to find Lacy at a home in the 1600 block of 36th Street in Sarasota, which was the address he had registered. But, they then found he actually had been living at a home in the 2500 block of Mango Avenue since February.
Anyone with information about Lacy is asked to call the sheriff's office at 861-4900, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers 941-366-TIPS (8477) or at http://www.sarasotacrimestoppers.com.

We have stayed one night in Frederic's appartement and it was great. The room was nice and clean. Its easy to find, easy to park your car and Frederic will provide you with all the information you must find suitable for your stay. Frederic is a kind and friendly host. The room is within walking distance from Tivoli, Town Hall, railway station Kbh H and all the attractions in the City centre. We recommend this room and host.
A wonderful offering! The room was quite comfortable and the host was excellent. Frederic proved thoughtful and attentive to questions. He provided helpful advice and recommendations, but also was respectful / not intrusive.
I highly recommend the offering.
Cosy room in a beautiful apartment. All in all very sympathetic. The location is also very good. Good restaurants nearby. And otherwise to get out of here, well everywhere. Would love to come back.
Gemütliches Zimmer in einer schönen Wohnung. Alles in allem sehr sympatisch. Auch die Lage ist sehr gut. Gute Restaurants in der Nähe. Und auch sonst kommt man von hier aus überall gut hin. Würde gerne wieder kommen.
We were very satisfied with this accomodation. It was clean and had a nice charm. It was located centrally in close walking distance to CPH city center, supermarkets and bakeries were located nearby.
The host was very hospitable and supportive.
We very much recommend this offer.
Thank you, Frederic!
Even though we only spend one night with our 6month old son in Copenhagen, we felt welcome in Frederic's place. Frederic wasn't there himself with his family, so we had the whole apartment on our own. We only regret not having met him personally:( His mom showed us the apartment and explained important facts about the city. She was very friendly and helpful:)
Maybe it'll also be helpful for you to know that you can park your car on the street for just 35DKK a day, which is much cheaper than parking directly in the center. From the place it's easy to walk or take the Metro downtown. It's exactly like Frederic has described it. Thanks so much!
We had a great time in Copenhagen, Frederic is very nice and friendly. He was able to give us lots of tips about our stay. The apartment is beautiful and the rooms very comfortable! Every time again! :)
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Kopenhagen, Frederic ist sehr nett und freundlich. Er konnte uns viele Tipps zu unserem Aufenthalt geben. Die Wohnung ist wunderschön und das Zimmer sehr komfortabel!
Jederzeit wieder! :)
Great location in a nice part of town. Pretty easy to get to from the airport using the metro and walking a little bit. Frederic provided great directions, and he and his mother provided useful information for discovering Copenhagen. The room was very comfortable, and they have a lovely garden in which you can relax and enjoy a take away meal. Just keep in mind that you are sharing the bathroom with the family, which most times was not an issue at all.
all straightforward, Frederic super nice, everything "pko-bello-clean", I'd really like to recommend!
alles unkompliziert, Frederic super nett, alles "pko- bello-sauber", möchte ich unbedingt gerne weiterempfehlen!!!
superb, splendid and luxurious! go there!
A great stay. Frederic the host is very friendly, helpful and has a lot of tips what you can do and what you have to visit at a stay in copenhagen. The room was nice, friendly and clean. The location of the appartment is close to the city center. I can recommend to everybody a stay at nice and central copenhagen

Whenever I make a box cake, I use the recipe that was on the Duncan Heinz cake mix boxes years ago. It tastes great and you'd never know that there was supposed to be oil in it. I know this one just gives info for yellow cake, but that's because that's the box that I cut it off from. I do all the flavors this way. Here it is:
Lite Recipe: (uses no oil) (20% fewer calories and 50% less fat than regular Yellow cake. Lite recipe: 200 calories, 5g total fat per serving. Regular Yellow cake 250 calories, 11g total fat per serving.
Eliminate oil and use 2 eggs and 1 1/3 cups water. Bake at 350 F; two 8-inch layers 29-32 mins; two 9-inch layers 24-27 mins; 9x13 inch 29-32 mins; bundt (12 cup) 39-44 mins;24 cupcakes 14-17 mins.
"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." -Will Rogers
I have used this recipe ever since it was posted here and my sister loves it, too. I don't know who to give credit to, but it makes the best cakes, using cake mix.
Cake mix
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 box instant pudding mix (even if it is already in the cake mix)
Mix for 2 minutes and pour into cake pan or pans. Bake 350º for approximately 25 minutes.
My mother used to always make mayonnaise cakes, and I never thought to get the recipe from her before she passed. This one is a great mayonnaise cake recipe, and duplicates what my Mom used to make. Thank you LindaRose!

subDIMENSION.com falling apart????
You got that straight . . .
Our ISP (DSL.net) cut our line on 3/3/03 due to a "violation of contract" or more to the point a violation of their "acceptable use policy". There were too many spam complaints about the subDIMENSION.com domain for them to handle. We were not the originating party in any of the spam complaints (aside from a brief open relay problem), but I gather we are still ultimately responsible for your behavior with the email accounts that you obtain from us. How the hell do people like YAHOO, HOTMAIL, and any other free email provider deal with spammer complaints from their ISP's? Do they own their own ISP? How do they govern their user community? How deep do your pockets have to be to offer a free-email service?

These at-home beauty treatments are super-easy to make and offer up awesome skin and hair benefits.
How to Get Clear Skin
You know us—we love saving money. That's why we're obsessed with homemade beauty treatments. We consulted smoking hot celebrity chef Candice Kumai, author of Cook Yourself Sexy, and a judge on Iron Chef America for her cool beauty recipes. Not only are they easy to make, the ingredients are already in your kitchen. Um, score.More
There are a lot of ways to use olive oil to stay beautiful—here are two of Candice's favorites:
1. Deep conditioner: Massage one teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil into dry, clean hair (pay extra attention to the ends). Then, wrap your hair in a warm, damp towel and let the oil absorb into your strands for up to 20 minutes before rinsing it out with warm water.
2. Eye makeup remover: Dab a few drops onto a cotton ball, and then swipe it over your eyes to gently wipe off your makeup. Bonus: It serves as a great moisturizer, so no need to rinse it off.
A cheap and easy way to exfoliate your skin, this ingredient helps slough away dead skin cells from the neck down, leaving your body with a gorgeous glow.
1. Sugar and Spice Rub: Mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar with two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, two teaspoons of instant oats, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon—this ingredient brings blood flow to the surface, causing a plumping effect on the skin and helps zap zits—and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, which has anti-inflammatory properties, in a small bowl. Apply it to your skin in circular motions mid shower for two minutes, then rinse.
2. Maui Sugar Scrub: Place 1/4 cup of guava or mango in a food processor and process it until it's smooth (or mash it in a small bowl with a fork). Then, scrape the mixture into a small bowl and stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, one tablespoon of coconut milk, and one and 1/2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Apply it to your skin in circular motions mid shower for two to three minutes, then rinse.
*You can use these same recipes on your face, but substitute the brown sugar for white granulated sugar, which is gentler on your complexion—plus, it contains antibacterial properties, so it won't break you out.

Focus Stocks
Trading Idea: - Is Verizon close to Resistance?
Published on Wednesday, 30 January 2013 05:48 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 30th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Verizon Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VZ) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $44.87. The stock ended the trading session at just $43.50, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) is an integrated telecommunications company that provides wire line voice and data services, wireless services, Internet services, and published directory information. The Company also provides network services for the federal government. Verizon is the owner of the largest wireless network, with more subscribers in the U.S. Verizon was founded in 1983 and is based in New York, New York.
Verizon's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $41.50 and by the resistance level at $44.87; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.
Traders don't have a clear entry point for Verizon. However, as the stock pulls back towards $41.50 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $44.87 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.

I'll admit, I was a little worried. The cell phone call came at 4:30 Friday afternoon. A robotic voice told me of a problem with my Taylor County Bank card and that I should call back to sort out the problem.
I didn't think much about that first call. After all, I don't have a Taylor County Bank card. Still, stories of identity theft began circling around my brain. The thought of someone taking advantage of my limited financial resources for their own gain has been a long held fear of mine.

Christina Aguilera may be taking a season off from "The Voice," but she will have wedding plans and baby preparations to fill in her hiatus.
The singer is expecting her second child, the first with her fiancee of one week, Matthew Rutler, Us Weekly reports. She has a 6-year-old son, Max, with ex-husband Jordan Bratman.
It looks as if Aguilera has her future mother-in-law to thank for spilling the beans.
Kathleen Rutler told In Touch that she's "been sort of told not to say anything." But then when asked if her son and Aguilera would relocate from Los Angeles to the East Coast, Mama Rutler replied, "I don't know what their plans are. But when you have a baby, you're not planning on moving anywhere anytime soon."
Well, that's as good as a confirmation.
Aguilera broke the news of her Valentine's Day engagement to Rutler by posting a Twitter pic of her engagement ring. The couple has been together for three years.

Over the next few days, Siskiyou County residents may notice some slow-moving objects in the sky as the Soaring Society of America's Region 11-North glider competition plays out at Rohrer Field (Montague-Yreka airport).
The soaring society holds regional and national competitions in which glider pilots are given a geographic course to follow. Flights are timed and the courses require that each glider crosses over a series of checkpoints.
Noelle and Rex Mayes run the Williams Soaring Center in Williams, Calif., and in February 2012, they became the operators of Rohrer Field and the Montague Soaring Center as well.
They said this year's regional contest is the first soaring event of its kind ever held at Rohrer Field.
Last year, the couple was responsible for running a national soaring competition at the larger Siskiyou County Airport north of Montague. They said the national challenge will be back there again next year.
The Region's 11-North competition began on June 9, with a practice day. The competition started on June 10, and will run through Saturday, June 15.
For those hoping to catch a glimpse of the competition in action, the morning activities and launch are the most exciting opportunities for spectators.
Each morning, the pilots – gathered from all over northern California and as far away as Hawaii – meet for the day's course assignment. Depending on weather conditions, gliders leave the ground between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., then begin the process of being towed into the sky by a single engine plane to establish altitude.
The timed challenge begins when the first gliders pass over the first check point on the course between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. and most pilots have returned to the airport by 5-5:30 p.m.
This year, 20 pilots are entered in the regional matchup.
For more information on the event in Montague or the sport of soaring, visit www.montaguesoaring.com.

In the last year, the Boston suburb of Quincy, Mass., has seen a 50% reduction in nonrevenue water as the result of several initiatives at the city's department of public works, including random meter testing, an inoperable meter identification program, and location and repair of water main leaks.
Just a couple of years ago, though, the department's operations weren't so efficient.
The water and sewer budgets had been managed within the $200 million city budget, but with annual operating costs for the departments hovering around $40 million, the city created an enterprise fund to separate those budgets from the general fund and ensure that water and sewer ratepayers were not subsidizing general taxpayers.
But the enterprise fund revealed that the water and sewer receivables did not cover costs, and the department projected a $4 million deficit for the 2008 fiscal year. So in February 2008 the city contracted with consulting firm Woodard & Curran to perform a four-month audit to identify the causes of the deficit and provide a road map for bringing the accounts and department performance back into balance.
Quincy is one of more than 61 Massachusetts Water Resource Authority member communities, representing more than 2.5 million residents and 5,500 large industrial users.
With no treatment systems of its own, Quincy purchases nearly 10 million gallons of water daily and discharges about 16 mgd of sewage, which is pumped through the Nut Island Headworks in Quincy to the Deer Island treatment facility 7 miles away. Quincy manages the water and wastewater infrastructure in the city, much of which consists of cast-iron pipes installed in the 1920s. It also handles all billing and customer service for 22,000 resident accounts and about 700 commercial accounts, totaling more than 90,000 bills issued and collected each year.
"To regain control we needed to understand the critical issues and how to address them," says Quincy Department of Public Works Business Manager Michael Coffey.
The audit was conducted by a team of three consultants with support from subcontractors such as a certified public accountant for financial analysis for report creation. The team analyzed the city's water and sewer billing and management systems beginning with the authority's 11 master meters (five for water and six for sewer) and continuing through customer service activities such as bill inquiries, service calls, and meter rereads.
After Quincy's 7,500 monthly bills are generated, the process begins with bill payment and extends through billing inquiry, the abatement process, meter rereads, and maintenance requests. The audit — which analyzed the entire process — revealed that inaccurate or inconsistent billing had a snowball effect for billing staff. Bill inquiry or abatement requests often forced staff to focus on reactive dispute resolution. Without adequate data archiving, justifying some bills proved difficult.
The audit analyzed the internal systems, processes, and personnel, including five meter-reading and three billing staff associated with each water and sewer billing and management activity. The audit team established priorities to address the most pressing problems and areas offering the greatest return on investment.
With more than half of its meters at least 30 years old, the department needed to upgrade more than 17,000 meters for more efficient data, and it secured a $14.9 million loan from the state revolving fund to finance the replacements and other improvements. Review of meter-reading data uncovered low meter-reading productivity (some meter-reading employees were logging few accounts per day), inefficient meter-reading schedules and routes that exacerbated the productivity issues.
Quincy had been using several different meter-reading methods, including radio reads and older "pin and wand" meters, making accurate data upload problematic. That contributed to additional estimated reads being entered, a lack of accessible and convenient water-use data, insufficient quality control data check methods, and increased workload for billing staff.

Defensive lineman Justin Smith has shown the ability to bounce back well, in his case from a partially torn left triceps tendon.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Smith emerged from last weekend's playoff game with Green Bay somewhere in the 90 percent range, if not higher.
"He felt good. He was real upbeat after the game," Harbaugh said Wednesday.
Smith missed the 49ers' final two regular-season games but returned for the Packers game, wearing a brace on his arm.
In other news, Harbaugh said he discussed with Colin Kaepernick the taunting penalty assessed at the end of a run in which Kaepernick got sandwiched by two Packers defenders.
"We did have a discussion, that it was ticky-tack," Harbaugh said. "I didn't see it as a taunting penalty."
As for all the notoriety Kaepernick is receiving in light of his breakout performance against the Packers, Harbaugh said his second-year quarterback isn't fazed.
"Colin does a great job of continuing in his humility," Harbaugh said.

Beware fake ransom phone calls

People in Thibodaux and Terrebonne Parish are getting fake ransom calls about a family member being held hostage, law-enforcement agencies said.
If you receive such a call in Thibodaux, call 446-5021; in Terrebonne, call 876-2500.
The caller demands that $1,000 be wired immediately or the family member will be killed, Thibodaux Police said.
No kidnapping claims have proven true, authorities said.
