In my first post here at Free Software Magazine, I mentioned that I actually like using Microsoft Windows. People seemed to let this go or find it not worth commenting on, maybe because my goal is to move away from it. Not that I expected rabid opposition. Not at all. GNU/Linux users are well-known for being quite mild and reserved in their opinions. If we must go back to my drug use analogy, it could also be that readers here were supportive of my desire to seek treatment and rehabilitation and didn't see the need to condemn me for past transgressions. (But really now, the drug metaphor has to go.)
Perhaps just as egregious a violation of the principles of free software has been my use of Visual Basic over the past ten years. And similarly, I'm going to tell you that I like programming in Visual Basic. (Version 6, specifically. Not VB.NET/Visual Fred.)
Really? Visual Basic?!
The way I see it, there are two issues here. One is the (lack of) freedom of the language and that's mainly what I want to talk about. Two is the language itself; the contempt that people have for Basic. Let's briefly address the shame and scorn associated with using the "wrong" language before moving on to the topic of freedom and sharing.
Most people have strong opinions about programming languages, of course. While I think it's good to be aware of the merits and shortcomings of different languages, most of the debate is extremely tiresome partisan bickering. Why is that? Does John's use of Ruby infringe on Sally's use of Python? Is it because Billy Bob never wants to support another Perl program and would like to see it die a painful and unmourned death? Is it the desire for validation, that we want to be acknowledged for using the best darn language there is?
I know it's not always like that. I didn't say all of the debate. Just most. Some debates are more civil and pragmatic about the merits of different languages for different purposes. But try introducing Visual Basic in to the discussion and you're likely to experience some caustic ridicule and disdain from self-satisfied hotshot programmers.
I have to confess: I care about that kind of stuff more than I should. Am I being overly sensitive? Maybe. On the one hand, I don't care if Bobby wants to put down VB and VB programmers. On the other, yes, I'd like to be taken seriously as a programmer, even if the language I'm most proficient in is the much derided Visual Basic. It's kind of a personal problem if I care what other people think, I guess.
One more time: Visual Basic?
Yes. Visual Basic. I learned it in school and on my own before taking an internship with a company to develop a VB program along with another intern. It was part of a large suite of applications used by the company; client/server programs that talked to an Oracle database. I went on to work at this company and with this suite of applications for over three years, and it gave me the perspective of knowing that VB could be used for real work, so it was hard to take seriously the people that dismissed it out of hand. I knew that VB was a tool that added value to business. (I suppose now I should hang my head at being a corporate applications developer, which is also way uncool. It's just so darn hard to fit in with the "in" crowd.)
I had the opportunity to learn Java and move in to a new job where I used that instead of VB, but I continued to use VB for little utilities that helped me and my new team do our job. And I've used VB for all kinds of personal applications. It's enjoyable to program in. It is so easy to put together a GUI to do some odd job. It can be made to do some pretty cool things, I think.
Another criticism I often hear is that VB is too easy--that it lets any idiot think they can be a programmer. This is silly. We shouldn't complain about lower barriers to entry. "Easier" languages and enabling-tools let so many more good people with good ideas play. People that might not learn C can still do some valuable work with a language like VB.
Yet still, I often feel like a half-programmer. As if it's not good enough. As if it's something to be ashamed of. Setting aside the question of freedom, which we'll take up next week, why should anyone feel down about the programming tool they use? With VB and the applications I've created for my employer and myself, I've had the opportunity to engage my mind with logical thinking and revel in the joy of solving problems. I've been thrilled to create programs that solved problems for myself and others. That made things better. Isn't that why anyone programs? VB lets you do these things!
I'd end with a plea to be kind to all those beaten-down VB programmers out there and allow them to pursue their craft with dignity, but I can't fully support that sentiment. (Other than that you should be kind.) Because of course, VB is totally unsuitable for use in a free society. Still, don't be too harsh on VB programmers because you think they are serfs using an uncool, toy programming language, but rather have pity on them because they are sharecroppers who could instead own the land they farm on.

Very sad
And I thought I had something to defend in liking C#/.NET.
Perhaps it's like a musical instrument?
One person's box with stretched catgut is another's Stradivarious.
If you master a language you can produce masterpieces.
Certain instruments may not be able to produce all the notes or have the same qualities, but each to their own eh?
Whatever works best for you. Don't eat yourself up over it.
And yes, I have produced a significant piece of software in Basic (a music score editor called Maestro, for the Acorn Archimedes).
Thanks. Obviously I think
Thanks. Obviously I think about it, but it doesn't eat me up that much. Really! Who's being defensive?! I'm not being defensive! :-)
I like your way of looking at it, except I think VB isn't a good choice for me no matter how much I enjoy programming in it. But that's for next week.
Visual Basic
Of all the languages I've used, I've always felt that Visual Basic was the one that let me think most about the problem at hand and least about the mechanics of the language. And isn't that what "high-level" languages were supposed to be all about? Great article. C. Wells /Houston
Visual Basic
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I look back now and see I didn't talk much about what it is I like so much about it. I do like that it saves me from thinking about a lot of details. I think low-level programming would be fun if I tried it, but over time I think we'll want to let machines do more and more of the work for us, and people will have to accept that not everyone is going to be a hardcore systems programmer.
Drug analogy
The drug, or rather "addiction" analogy is fairly apt. I find that the most vehemently anti-Windows GNU/Linux users are usually the ones who've just switched.
After a few years, I find that it isn't anything specific about Windows that I don't like, it's really just that it's now become a completely alien system that I know nothing about. I departed in order to avoid using Windows 95 at home, and Windows 98 SE is the most recent version I have any experience with. All this "XP" and "ME" and "2000" and what-not is just a complete mystery to me.
I find this really shocks a lot of people, who seem to assume that most GNU/Linux users are experts who tinker on Linux and get really jazzed about it, but do all their "real work" on Windows. And indeed, I have met people like that. But I honestly run everything (work and play) on Debian GNU/Linux myself.
Because I do that, I think I'm probably more honest in criticism Linux applications. It's one thing to use a package long enough to write a review, but it's quite something else to rely on it day-in and day-out. After a while, quirks start to get on your nerves. So there are some packages I complain about. OTOH, there are others like LyX and gVim that I find totally rock-solid, which is why I recommend them.
I'd want to keep up my
I'd want to keep up my Windows expertise, but it would be nice to be able to just let it go completely if you could. (My current job will keep me in it.)
I'd like to be able to use my Windows experience to write some decent comparisons between comparable apps. I suspect in some areas that I find GNU/Linux lacking, it will be because I'm ignorant of a better way to do it, but I also expect some things to just not work as well if considered honestly, and hopefully we can continue to borrow/steal the good ideas. I see nothing wrong with shamelessly copying from proprietary software where there are good ideas to be had.
BASIC was my first programming language. It was "Color BASIC" for the TRS-80 "Color Computer", which is, of course, a much older version. I learned a few later variations, like QBASIC, but I did quite a lot with it.
It's difficult to write serious programs in, with good engineering practices, though, because BASIC doesn't provide a lot of native support for them. Of course, I went on to program in FORTRAN which has many of the same problems (however FORTRAN 77 and later, do support functions and procedures which can be put to good effect by anybody with a little self-discipline), so my experience with learning to make sense out of the chaos that is BASIC was probably useful.
Still, it's a big relief to work in a language that has more built-in support for programming paradigms: "structured", "object-oriented", "functional", etc. Today I use Python for almost everything. It's nearly as easy as BASIC to learn, and yet it has much more built-in support, powerful libraries, and it's clear and easy to read. It does have a few quirks: historical accidents of design that have led to some awkward "idioms", but the overall picture is of simple, intuitive design.
The partisan-ness you describe is very up-front for me. I like Python because *I* find it easy to understand and use, so naturally I like to see other (open source) programs written in it, because their source becomes an asset to me that I can build on if I want. By contrast, trying to build a Python program on top of a Perl package is next to impossible, and often not worth the trouble. I've generally had very bad experiences with mixed-language projects.
People sometimes question why there needs to be so many different applications written in different languages for GNU/Linux (e.g. if Inkscape is a great vector-graphics app (written in C++), why do we need Skencil (written in Python)?). The truth is that, to a programmer, especially an amateur programmer who only really knows one language, the presence of a useful app written in your language of choice is a boon. It gives you a kind of power you don't get from another package, even if they are both equally good from a pure user standpoint.
Of course, multi-language plugin and extension architectures go a long way to erasing that kind of language chauvinism. Inkscape is growing a very nice Python scripting and extension capability, as I understand it (still needs work: what they're doing is defining an SVG DOM for programming interfaces).
I think more common
I think more common languages would be good for the reason you mention -- that you can find more apps, sample code, and help for what you're trying to do. That's why I like WordPress as a blogging platform -- there are a bazillion plugins and web pages with help for what you're trying to do.
I'm not sure what I'll get in to as I start programming in Linux more. Java is an obvious possibility for me, since I'm already using it. But I haven't done much GUI with it, and I'm not excited by the prospect of that although I hear it's getting more manageable with Eclipse. I've been superficially attracted to Perl in the past, but may give Python a try also. Partly because it would be a new and exciting dalliance, versus Perl where I've already experienced some of its tawdry habits :-)
I also think diversity is a good idea -- different tools for different jobs if necessary, even though I don't care for the sniping that goes on along with this, when languages compete for similar jobs.
First off, I too enjoy using
First off, I too enjoy using Windows. Though I use Linux now. Anyway, I find Visual Basic as a good starting tool for beginner programmers. Though it may have an awkward reputation and language for a lot of people. Still, you can't deny its ease of use. Sucks as it may, it still is a versatile steeping stone for everyone.
Use what works
Programmers who deride another programmer about languages are simply technicians that are a bit ignorant. Engineers are on a somewhat higher level and usually worry more about good design than language details. The senior technical and business people worry about getting things done that make money. In the end, we're judged by what was done, not how it was done.
That's why the petty attitudes about languages are as silly as the religious arguments over which editor is better.
My software mentor pounded into us the idea that we should take all languages seriously, as there are always niches where each is the best solution. This is really good advice. If you don't believe it, then you haven't learned enough languages. Go out and learn 4 or 5 more. Or learn the ones you have learned better.
I won't even bother listing my three favorite languages. I've used VB and it is a capable tool, although I had problems with deployment of a commercial program I wrote. I do have to say that I loved QuickBasic 4.5, which was a superb tool within its DOS limitations. I almost liked it as much as HP's Rocky Mountain Basic of the late 70's and early 80's which were real pleasures to use (I still have my HP 9817 computer).

Presentation of Romania
Registered on 10.03.2009 - Closed on 30.06.2010
|Project details
We are presenting Romania on a square of our home town on a day of Europe and we need as many information as possible about the selected country. Our presentation will include a typical Romanian hand-made product made by children, a Romanian folk song and a typical dance. We would be very happy to receive various ideas about all those things. We imagine this cooperation to consist of three separate stages: 1. children sing and dance a typical simple Romanian song, which you record and send the video to us by e-mail (we also need the lyrics of the song) - we need this song and dance because we would like our children to learn it 2. you choose some typical Romanian product which represents your country (for example: Transylvanian castle, Dracula – but please not these ones) and you send us photos - we need this to make a model of this product with our children 3. you send us (by e-mail) different information about your country: power point presentations, videos, recipes of typical dishes, Romanian symbols… It would be very nice if you could send this material within two weeks, because we need to end this project at the end of April. Of course we will send to every participating school videos and photos of our activities connected with this project and our presentation of your country on the day of Europe (9th May) in the centre of our town. Thank you again and best regards from Slovenia. Contact person for this project is: Lucija Štamulak e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Magellan-Lapulapu Encounter - Part II
The battle started when Magellan and his men neared the island. They saw that the army of Lapu-Lapu divided into three groups. When the warriors saw the foreigners, they started screaming and rushing towards them. For half an hour the Spaniards kept shooting their crossbows but to no avail. Lapu-Lapu and his men eventually came into contact with them as Magellan and his men came into the island.
Pigaffeta wrote that Magellan meant to scare the warriors by burning their houses. Instead this provoked them more and they became furious and started attacking resulting in the death of some of his men. When a poisoned arrow hit Magellan in the right leg, he gave the order to retreat slowly but they all ran away except 8 of them including Pigaffeta who escorted the captain. Lapu-Lapu�s men targeted their legs because they had no armor in that part of their body. Magellan himself received a blow in the leg from a kampilan(a long edged Muslim sword) and a spear in the arm. He was able to ...

The Black Nazarene
The Black Nazarene has many names. In Spanish it is called the Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno. In Filipino it is known as Mahal na Itim na Nazareno or Itim na Nazareno. But its formal name in English is "Our Father Jesus Nazarene". The black Nazarene is wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ. It is a life-sized figure carrying the cross. Filipino Catholics believe the wooden figure to be possessed with miraculous nature.
In the beginning the Black Nazarene had a fair complexion. But because of a fire that burned the ship it was carried on, it turned black. Luckily, the sculpture survived. The sculptor of the image has always been unanimous. According to history, it was brought to Manila from Acapulco, Mexico via a galleon ship.
Originally, the Black Nazarene had an identical twin sculpture which was brought to Manila. This is found in the Intramuros district church records. It is said that the first one kept in Bagumbayan�s San Nicolas de Tolentino church before it was transferr...

Clear blue sky
Oh! We want to fly
For we are always in low
Because of this bitter blow
Where are you mom and dad?
Why you have left us in this bloody flood?
We don�t understand, We are the gift from above
Sadly, we are in the street living from other�s love
Look around you
Their actions were few
Too blind to see,
Is this the reality?
Peace on earth, a better world
Not in action, only a word
A goal for the common good
Yet, their heart is not in mood
Tender, loving care
This is our little dare
Is this too much or just fair?
Help us! We are too young for this nightmare.

Genre/Subjects: Coming of Age, Drama
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Polish, Arabic English Sub-Titles
Polish director Leszek Dawid's debut feature is a story about maturity and responsibility for yourself and those around you. Ki (Roma Gasiorowska) is a twentysomething free spirit who has a child but doesn't want to accept the attendant responsibility. She'd like to pawn her son off on the boy's father, Antoni (Krzysztof Ogloza), but caring for his offspring isn't on his agenda.
She has to take her son, Pio (Kamil Malecki), to the art studio, where she's a nude model. Pio disrupts the atmosphere there, nearly getting Ki fired. At night, she leaves Pio with friends so she can go out partying. After dumping her boyfriend, Ki and Pio move in with her friend Dor (Sylwia Juszczak) and her housemate Miko (Adam Woronowicz). But Ki continues her irresponsible ways, not cleaning up or paying her share of the bills.
The welfare board threatens to take Pio away if she doesn't become a responsible mother. In a last-ditch attempt to keep her son, she asks Miko if he'll pretend to be her fiancée. But will that be enough to keep Ki on track?

AWEA Boosts Wind Power Projections to 4,000 MW for 2007
November 14, 2007
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) announced on November 7th that it now expects 4,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity to be installed in 2007. That represents an increase of one-third over AWEA's previous projections for the year, which were last updated in August. AWEA's third quarter market report concludes that the wind industry added more than 2,300 MW of wind power in the first three quarters of 2007, while more than 5,000 MW of wind power are currently under construction. According to AWEA's tally, 13,885 MW of wind power capacity are now installed in the United States.
In the third quarter alone, 1,251 MW of wind power were installed throughout the country, including 600 MW in Texas, further cementing that state's leadership in wind power capacity. Another 264 MW of wind power were built in Colorado, elevating that state to sixth place in terms of installed wind power capacity. In Washington State, 140 MW of wind power were installed, pushing that state into fourth place, while the first utility-scale wind power facility was completed in Missouri. Built near King City, Missouri, by the Wind Capital Group and John Deere Wind Energy, the 56.7-MW Blue Grass Ridge Wind Farm features 2.1-MW wind turbines from Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation and was dedicated in late September. The Wind Capital Group is also building two other wind facilities in Missouri that will have a combined capacity of 100.4 MW. See the AWEA press release, AWEA's third quarter market report (PDF 1.5 MB), the Wind Capital Group Web site, and the press release on the Missouri wind farm dedication from the Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. Download Adobe Reader.
The boom in U.S. wind power capacity is being met with increased investment in wind power manufacturing facilities in the heart of the country. In late September, Siemens Power Generation celebrated the grand opening of its new wind turbine blade factory in Fort Madison, Iowa, on the banks of the Mississippi River. The 311,000-square-foot factory is expected to produce 600 wind turbine blades each year and should employ 260 people by year's end. The facility manufactures 148-foot-long, 12-ton blades for the company's 2.3-MW wind turbines installed in the United States. In October, Iowa Governor Chet Culver announced that Hendricks Industries plans to build a manufacturing plant for wind turbine towers in Keokuk, which is also on the Mississippi River. The 347,000-square-foot facility will employ 350 people, and the company will also employ 22 people at a project to expand the city's port. Also in October, LM Glasfiber broke ground on a new wind turbine blade manufacturing plant in Little Rock, Arkansas, which is on the Arkansas River. The new facility is expected to begin operations in early 2008 and will eventually employ more than 1,000 people. See the press releases from Siemens, Governor Culver, and LM Glasfiber.

Life in the Piney Woods
By Ona Wood
Chapter 3
Wood County Feels the Tug of War
The everyday affairs of life went on as usual in the deep eastern section of Wood County.
Mary and Peter Gunstream and their neighbors always arose long before the dawn and prepared breakfast. They ate by the light of candles which they had molded with their own hands from the tallow dried from the fat of the beeves that they had butchered on their own range.
Their breakfast was no meager affair; even if they did live in the woods of a sparsely settled country, food was in abundance: quail fried to a golden brown, ham from their smokehouse, sausage, red gravy and hominy, hot corn pone and butter.
As soon as the first rays of the sunlight dispelled the rosy tinted dawn, Peter went to the fields or to the mill. Everything seemed peaceful in the deep forest.
Far off in the distance a turtle dove cooed to its mate… Continued on the Member's Only pages accessible from the link at the top right of this page.

The Alabama Championship Formula & Softball
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team just finished capturing the BCS National Championship in a dominating fashion over previously unbeaten and SEC rival LSU 21-0. But it was really how Alabama won that any sports parent, athlete or coach should be paying attention to.
It's not an accident that Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban won his third National Championship (the first one, ironically, at LSU). His team played nearly flawlessly on the biggest stage in college football. He and his coaching staff did a phenomenal job coaching and mentally preparing their kids for the pressures that awaited them in the Louisiana Superdome.
So what is Alabama's championship formula and how can you and your athlete benefit from both understanding and implementing it?
1. Poise - In the biggest game in these players' lives it was Alabama that played poised ball. Because they were poised they did not make mistakes during big plays. In fact, their defense caused mistakes because of their poise. All night long the Alabama players displayed poised body language. Excelling under extreme pressure is the mark of a champion...and it takes poise and ice water in the veins to do so.
2. Confidence - It was clear from start to finish that Alabama was the more confident team. Their poise is, in part, a product of their collective self-confidence. They were able to play aggressively on offense, defense and special teams because of their confidence. The LSU quarterback, by comparison, seemed to hesitate all night...showing his lack of self-confidence.

3. Positive Energy - Alabama's coaches had their team fired up for sure, but their individual and collective energy was amazingly focused and it allowed them to stay disciplined on the field and make plays. Theirs was certainly "can do" energy. LSU, on the other hand, did not have positive energy. It was easy to see the Tigers "can't do" energy as the camera panned the sideline and zoomed in on their star players.

Shuler not voting to support troops
Published: Sunday, September 9, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 9, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Votes have consequences. Heath Shuler has voted to run the war from Washington by disapproving of the surge in Iraq (H Con Res 63), for timetables to withdraw troops regardless of the outcome (HR 1591) and for the defeat of the U.S. in Iraq by commencing the withdrawal of troops by April 2008 (HR 2956).
None of these votes were based on the conditions on the ground but were engineered by Madam Pelosi in an attempt to embarrass President Bush. Shuler's support of the Democrats' position emboldened the terrorists to continue their fight.
With this in mind, I was shocked at a recent conservative Baptist church service to see Mr. Shuler introduced to the congregation and prominently seated in the front row. During the service the pastor made a point to say that regardless of your view of the war that the troops need to be supported, at which time, everyone including Mr. Shuler, stood and clapped.
He cannot have it both ways, voting in Washington against the mission of the troops and then appearing locally as a champion of the military. He can fool some of the people some of the time, but he doesn't fool me.

STANFORD -- Barry Sanders isn't chasing his famous father, the Hall of Fame running back with the same name.
But that didn't stop some fans from marking the resemblance last weekend during Stanford's only public practice of the season.
Sanders, a redshirt freshman back, found space on the outside during a controlled scrimmage that conjured images of his father a quarter-century ago when he won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma State.
The younger Sanders doesn't run from the comparisons because he knows they are coming.
"If people say I look like him, that is a great compliment," said Sanders, who likes to go by Barry J. -- as in middle name James. (His mother gave him the middle name to distinguish her son from his dad.)
"It rolls off his back," Cardinal coach David Shaw said of the comparisons. "He wants to be his own guy. He wants to wear his own number. He's as mature and comfortable as anybody who has been with a relative of that fame."
Sanders, whose father appeared at some practices last week, has never made a big deal about sharing his father's name -- and game. They look alike, and those who have met both say they sound alike.
"I don't remember not being comfortable with it," Sanders said in one of the few interviews he has given since arriving at Stanford.
It has helped growing up in Oklahoma with his mom, Aletha House, who separated from her husband when Barry J. was young. While Sanders lived in Detroit, his son was able to find his own way far from the celebrity shadow.
Sanders has watched his father's highlight films countless times and tries to model his style after the Detroit Lions great.
"He was one of the best," Sanders said. "Why not try to replicate the best?"
He invited comparisons while setting rushing records at Heritage Hall High in his native Oklahoma City. Sanders gained 5,037 yards and scored 70 touchdowns in his high school career.
But the Stanford back has said his father's exploits can't be duplicated, minimizing the idea that all it takes is good genes to gain success. The son also has said his father played a minimal role in coaching him in football.
"He's more concerned about me being a student," Sanders said. "He understands at a certain point the football stuff comes natural. You just have to play to get better. There's not much you can teach somebody."
Sanders is one of five backs Shaw expects to use this season to replace the workhorse record-setter Stepfan Taylor. The pecking order favors veterans Tyler Gaffney and Anthony Wilkerson. Ricky Seale, Remound Wright and Sanders are the others.
Sanders has impressed coaches with his ability to open up space on the outside but also run between the tackles. Shaw also appreciates how the son of a star has asked for nothing.
"He wants to learn and grow," the coach said. "He knows he's not at the finish line yet. So many guys with his talent and background say, 'I need to be a starter.' "

Autumn Pick from the LitBlog Co-op
I became a member of the group too late to vote last time, so was sort of on the sidelines, but this time around I was not just a voter, but also a nominator, and the book I nominated will be revealed on Monday. I'm not at all averse to the book that was selected, though -- it was, in fact, my second choice, behind my own book.
The LBC is still new, and we're still figuring out ways to make it interesting and worthwhile, so we've changed a lot of what we're doing this round from last round. We're working on scheduling lots of special posts about the selected book, with, we hope, discussions with the author, editor, agent, publicist, and anybody else who is willing to join in, and we're also going to devote a week of discussion to each of the nominated books, which is something I'm pretty excited about, because some of the books are from very small presses, and the extended discussion will give them some deserved attention. (Which is not to say that everyone liked every book. Each book had supporters and detractors. There were two books that I was ... well, less than enthusiastic about.)
So go read about the autumn pick. Powell's Books will be selling it for 30% off, and I recommend picking up a copy, because if you like the sorts of things I write about here at The Mumpsimus, you'll probably like this book quite a bit.

A Viking Books title whose author got written up in the Times recently, is it?ReplyDelete
The Lit Blog Co-op fails again!
I suspect the sorts of people who dislike any such enterprise that does not limit itself to the most obscure of the obscure will, indeed, say exactly that, Nick.ReplyDelete
For my part, I nominated a book from a very small press, because it was a book I enjoyed and had not seen in a bookstore. Everybody else was free to use whatever criteria they thought appropriate both for nominating and voting.
There is a broad excluded middle between the "most obscure of the obscure" (say, something without an ISBN or barcode, sold via the mail) and a Viking release whose author was lauded in the New York Times.ReplyDelete
Say, how about any fiction from an independent press? MacAdam/Cage, Unbridled Books, Serpent's Tail, a university press, a work in translation, you name it.
And yes, of course people can use any criteria they like, and I, in turn, can razz any final decision I like, especially when -- and this is two in a row now, mind you -- that final decision undermines the reasoning behind creating the Read This! choice in the first place.
Here's a good guideline to use when attempting to find underappreciated work: if the author actually has a publicist that the Litblog Co-op can interview as part of the festivities, that work should be disqualified.
You're chastising the wrong guy. If you want to complain about the choice, you should do it in the comments to the nomination, because I'm not the one who nominated it, nor did I vote it as my first choice. I'm associated with the group because I think it can bring awareness to books that otherwise would not have as much as they deserve. But there are 20 other people involved.ReplyDelete
That would require actually reading the Co-op, which I stopped after their last choice.ReplyDelete
And I wasn't castigating you. I didn't say "Matt Cheney fails again!" I said "The Lit Blog Co-op fails again!"
Sorry if I seem overly sensitive. I agree with you about a lot of it, but I think there's some potential this time, so I'm not ready to proclaim failure yet. We shall see.ReplyDelete
I've never heard of Stern or The Angel of Forgetfulness before this posting (call me poorly read), but I'm awfully glad to be pointed to this book. After reading a bit about it, it appears exactly the kind of book that "genre" readers too often overlook because of lack of exposure in the genre community.ReplyDelete
So thanks for blogging about it. And, personally, as a reader with no aspirations of becoming a published writer, I just want to hear about good fiction - regardless of the publisher.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The race for Georgia's 12th congressional seat is heating up as both candidates are calling each other out.
Republican challenger Lee Anderson is currently refusing to debate Democratic incumbent John Barrow until Barrow does something Anderson wants.
"Until John Barrow gets in front of a camera and says who he's voting for, we won't debate him," said Anderson campaign Spokesman Ryan Mahoney. "We don't think that he deserves another platform to deceive voters."
Barrow's staff cited three separate Georgia newspaper articles in which Barrow says he'll support Barack Obama for president. Anderson's staff says that's not sufficient.
"[Barrow] continues to kind of duck and dive and dodge the question, and the more the media asks, the more crazy answers that he comes up with," Mahoney said. "It's a very simple, straightforward request."
Barrow contends it is no secret, and he'd be more than happy to answer Anderson's question in a debate.
Barrow couldn't go on camera with News 12 citing voting week in Washington, D.C., however, he did release a statement saying:
"Lee Anderson insists on making devastating cuts to Medicare, while raising taxes on 80 percent of hardworking Georgia families, yet he doesn't have the decency to explain his positions to folks in the 12th District. I'm not interested in playing these political games. I'll be at the debates within the district, and I'm happy to answer this question again or any other question my opponent might bring. I hope Lee will reconsider."
Anderson's staff says that simply isn't true.
"John Barrow is completely dishonest, so if he won't tell you the answer or if he won't tell the local media the answer, he's not going to tell Lee the answer on stage," Mahoney said.
Anderson's staff says Barrow has declined debates prior to a general election, too.
In response, a spokesperson for Barrow says during the last election cycle, Barrow missed a debate because it conflicted with three separate meetings on veterans' issues, something the congressman takes seriously.
He added in this election, Barrow's agreed to multiple debates, while Anderson hasn't agreed to any.

Saluda City Clerk Pace earns designation of Certified Municipal Clerk
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 9:20 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 9:20 a.m.
Saluda City Clerk Monica R. Pace has earned the designation of Certified Municipal Clerk, which is awarded by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, said IIMC President Brenda Cirtin in a news release.
IIMC grants the CMC designation only to those municipal clerks who complete demanding education requirements and who have a record of significant contributions to their local government, their community and state.
"On behalf of the IIMC Board of Directors, I am honored to endorse the conferring of CMC to Monica R. Pace, CMC of City of Saluda," Cirtin said. "We share your pride in this achievement and we applaud your support of the role Monica plays in your city."
The IIMC, founded in 1947, has 10,300 members throughout the United States, Canada and 15 other countries, and the mission of this global nonprofit corporation is to enhance the education opportunities and professional development of its diverse membership.
"In light of the speed and drastic nature of change these days, lifelong learning is not only desirable, it is necessary for all in local government to keep pace with growing demands and changing needs of the citizens we serve," Cirtin said. "Your city can take immense pride in Monica's educational accomplishments and achievement of this milestone."

1. 2006.11.27 - 2006.12.10: Frantic/fortuitious fortnight: 18:13
What a great two weeks it has been! I haven't been blogging much, but that's because there's been so much to blog about. ;)
I moved heaven, earth, and final exams to get to the Global Network of Technology Evangelists conference held in California on December 4, paying for the trip out of my savings. It was well worth it! I got to meet all sorts of interesting people. Now I just have to make sure I keep in touch with them. =)
It was great walking around San Francisco, too. I stopped by Ghirardelli Square to pick up some absolutely wicked drinking hot chocolate, and spent the rest of the afternoon at the Exploratorium. I'm really such a geek. I can't go to a city without visiting its science museum... <laugh> That was fun. The tech get-together I went to in the evening was cool, too. I really like the idea behind Like.com, and I was amused to hear how some fifty engineers and PhDs had to learn the difference between wedge heels and kitten heels!
I'd forgotten how stressful flying could be, what with all of the security stuff. I'm glad that Simon Rowland took me to the airport and Wayne Young picked me up on the way back. Company really makes such a difference; the commute would've been soul-sucking in this gray weather!
Schoolwork's winding to a close, too. I've passed my second-to-the-last requirement and will work on my last one over the next two weeks.
With all of these things, though, the IBM lab's a little nervous about my research progress. I've been working on things; I just haven't been talking about it enough, I guess! (Strange, huh?) I've uploaded a more detailed copy of my schedule to the intranet and sent links to my manager and developer sponsor, who can use the schedule to keep track of my deliverables and milestones. Proper project planning and all of that. I hope that reassures them enough to extend our funding so that I can continue until August, my projected completion date.
I learned a lot about interpersonal relationships, too. I don't know if it was because I was so stressed out about the end of the year, but I had come so close to breaking up with Simon a number of times over the past few weeks. We're both learning a lot in the process, and have so far decided to keep going. I'm learning to think even more positively. =) Strangely enough, I suspect that the long-distance relationship we'll have over the next six weeks might actually be easier. =)
That explains my earlier sad note about some things for which Google has no answer. I'm still learning a lot about life and relationships, and neither Wikipedia nor Wikihow can really give me insights. I'm profoundly grateful for all of the friends who have expressed their concern and support, though, and who have helped me come to a better understanding.
I dropped by The Gorey, the new house being shared Quinn, Leigh, and Jed, who are among my closest, closest, closest friends in Toronto. Their place is awesome! I'm so envious... I've drafted my 2006 Christmas letter / annual report, and will figure out how to get it printed and sent out. Jed told me that I couldn't cheat and send just one copy to their house. <laugh>
Oh, and I found the salmon flakes my mom's been asking me to get for my dad! =) I checked all the supermarkets in Chinatown.
So, plans for next week:
Work: Aside from classes on Tuesday, next week pretty much belongs to IBM. I need to give a presentation on mashups as part of Hack Day University on Monday. I have a meeting with a potential user group on Friday, and will hack madly on my prototype in order to get it into somewhat presentable state by then. Life is good. I'll probably be up at IBM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Social: The Toastmasters Christmas party is on Tuesday. On Thursday, I'm having coffee with a motivational speaker who's a friend of a friend. On Friday, I might catch up with one of my friends over dinner in the Danforth. On Saturday, Simon gets back from Florida. On Sunday, I might have a little going-away party. How and where, I still have no idea. Graduate House isn't easy to entertain in because I have to fetch guests myself, through several keyed doors. Note to self: next year, find an apartment or house that will let me just buzz people in...
Maybe I can borrow someone's place for a going-away party. Or maybe I should just declare visiting hours at the Linux Caffe, or something like that... ;) I'll bring my computer so that I can plan dinner or coffee with people for next year. Yeah, that sounds more like it. Linux Caffe closes at 5 on Sundays, but maybe I can ask David nicely.
Life is good.

About the Book
"An irreverent romp through history's best bits," The Mental Floss History of the World is an amazingly entertaining joyride through 60,000 years of human civilization. As audacious as it is edifying, here is a hilarious and irreverent—yet always historically accurate—overview of the ascent (or descent) of humankind, courtesy of the same rebel geniuses who brought you Mental Floss presents Condensed Knowledge and Mental Floss Presents Forbidden Knowledge. Updated with all the hot topics and events of the past few years, The Mental Floss History of the World is proof positive that just because something's true doesn't mean it's boring.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
History is . . .
(a) more or less bunk.
(b) a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken.
(c) as thoroughly infected with lies as a street whore with syphilis.
Match your answers:
(1) Stephen Daedalus of James Joyce's Ulysses
(2) Henry Ford

It turns out that answer need not be bunk, nightmarish, or diseased. In the hands of mental_floss, history's most interesting bits have been handpicked and roasted to perfection. Packed with little-known stories and outrageous—but accurate—facts, you'll laugh yourself smarter on this joyride through 60,000 years of human civilization. Remember: just because it's true, doesn't mean it's boring!

8 state football champions to be crowned
In an unprecedented move, the CIAC football committee approved a new format for the 2014 season, which will crown eight champions instead of four like the previous four years.
During a conference call with state media Tuesday, CIAC officials revealed the format for the this year's postseason.
The committee adopted a proposal which maintains dividing teams before the season into four divisions based on enrollment. The top eight teams in each division based on the current CIAC point system will still qualify for the postseason.
But once the qualifying teams are determined, the eight qualifying teams in each division will be divided into two groups of four by enrollment and seeded into two separate brackets based on the point system.
Each four-team bracket will then compete in semifinals and finals and crown a state champion. The postseason will consist of a semifinal round on the Saturday 10 days after Thanksgiving and a championship round the following Saturday.
The committee didn't want to reduce the number of qualifying teams.
"The number of teams participating now is higher than ever," said CIAC football chairman Leroy Williams. "We don't feel it (the system) is watered down, but it's something that did come up. We didn't want to eliminate quality teams. Teams with one or two losses we definitely think should be
See FOOTBALL, Page 9B
in (the postseason).
"The state of football in the state of Connecticut is very well and we think the quality will continue to improve," added Williams.
The elimination of the quarterfinal round allows a minimum of one week between each game, which is in accordance with the strong recommendation of the Connecticut State Medical Society.
"Last month, we met based on information and concerns over health and safety of athletes," said Williams, who said that athletic trainers and other medical personnel agree with the change.
In the 2013 season, five statewide playoff teams actually played four games over a 16-day period, which began with Thanksgiving week games.
Also, the Class LL final between eventual champion Southington and Fairfield Prep was postponed twice because of a snowstorm and poor field conditions. The game was finally played on Dec. 19.
The committee wouldn't discuss the prospects beyond 2014. Sites for the semifinal and finals haven't been decided as of yet.
From 2002 to 2009, the CIAC postseason consisted of a six-division, 24-team tournament.

Mom-to-be Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was spotted yesterday in Seaside Heights breaking in her new stroller with two-liter bottles of Pepsi and a case full of Silver Bullets.
Sure, some have suggested that the box holds something other than beer and is merely a poor receptacle choice on Snooki's part, but let's not let the Buzz Killingtons of the world sour a perfectly perfect photo.
UPDATE: CelebrityBabyScoop reports that Snooki was transporting beer — to a bonfire party attended by the cast of Jersey Shore. However, they are careful to note that while her housemate boozed it up, Snooki merely "watched on."

Things are looking way up for Wallenda
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 4:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 3:37 p.m.
SARASOTA - Years ago, veteran Canadian wirewalker Jay Cochrane gave young Nik Wallenda a tip about the limits of razzle-dazzle.
Follow @heraldtribune on Twitter for live coverage of Nik Wallenda's skywalk. Use hashtag #Wallenda to join the conversation.
"He said, 'Nik, you're doing a great job, but you can't be doing those fakes anymore, you're going to scare off potential customers,'" recalls Wallenda. "I said, 'This is what I do — I'm a showman.'"
Last May, a month before his historic skywalk across Niagara Falls, one of Wallenda's showbiz "fakes" caught up with him. Near the end of a 300-foot-long walk in Baltimore, for one heart-stopping moment, Wallenda appeared to slip. The Sarasota native, who today says he was in complete control of the stunt, finished safely to cheers of relief.
"Within an hour," says the 34-year-old tightrope walker, "we got an email from ABC going 'WHAT WAS THAT?' in all-caps. It really freaked 'em out."
As a result of the stunt, network executives insisted that Wallenda, for the first time in his life, wear a safety harness or they would pull the plug on the Niagara Falls adventure. The rest is history.
On Tuesday morning, the owner of six Guinness world records for acrobatics will perform his first hometown wirewalk since 2010. Reverting to true form, Wallenda will make the short trip without a safety tether, and there will be nothing to break his fall except the asphalt of U.S. 41, roughly 180 feet below his wire.
But what a difference three years — and the Niagara Falls coup — make. With an unprecedented skywalk over the Grand Canyon looming this summer, customers are warming up to Wallenda's high-risk brand, stunts and all.
He recently scored a deal with swanky Swiss watchmaker Jean Richard, which will likely rate a GQ magazine spread. Topps, the baseball card giant, is producing a limited-edition Nik Wallenda special insert for release this summer. Scheduled for publication in June is an autobiography titled "Balance: A Story of Faith, Family, and Life on the Line."
And Wallenda anticipates additional endorsements once the Grand Canyon date — with a no-tether clause guaranteed — becomes official.
"We know when it's going to be, I just can't say yet," says Wallenda, who will make a formal announcement on an upcoming edition of NBC's Today Show. "But we're ready to move and get more sponsors."
Wallenda's New York agent, Winston Simone, says an unencumbered wirewalk across one of America's geological wonders will likely sweeten the commercial draw.
"The issue of the tether actually had a dual edge," Simone said in an email. "Some potential sponsors thought that wearing a tether softened the achievement. I don't find any resistance from any quarter now that he's not wearing a tether."
Either way, the immediate order of business is crossing Bayfront Drive, or U.S. 41, on Tuesday.
The Sarasota walk
From 10:45 to 11:45 a.m., police will reroute traffic as Wallenda ascends a crane planted in the parking lot of Marina Jack, just east of the Unconditional Surrender statue. From there, around 11 a.m., he and his 42-foot-long, 45-pound balancing pole will test a 5/8-inch-thick steel cable and proceed north to the roof patio of Marina Tower.
Wallenda watchers who attended his last Sarasota wirewalk will note similarities of scale. Like Tuesday's performance, the 2010 Watergate-to-Ritz-Carlton walk unfolded from approximately 200 feet up. That one also covered roughly 600 feet, and took 12 minutes to traverse. But there could be a significant difference on Tuesday.
"The last time, I had a big condo blocking the wind," says Wallenda during a break from his Circus Sarasota engagement, where he will be performing through Feb. 15. The Circus is also contributing $15,000 toward Tuesday's production costs.
"This time there's nothing to protect me from the wind," Wallenda says. "I'm totally exposed."
Last week, Sarasota city commissioners dismissed new City Manager Tom Barwin's suggestion that Wallenda wear a safety harness, and unanimously approved the wirewalk.
Wallenda told the city he chose the venue in order to showcase Sarasota's skyline, Ringling Bridge, its Bay waters and islands for global audiences.
Virginia Haley, president of tourism promoter Visit Sarasota County, estimated the skywalk would generate between 50 million and 75 million "media impressions."
"It's always an honor to walk in my hometown and it's great to know Sarasota's behind me," says Wallenda, who expected more pushback on the harness issue. "I just hope a lot of people will turn out on Tuesday because to see it live is a totally different experience than watching on TV."
As always, Wallenda's father, Terry Troffer, will supervise the critical rigging, which will be strung across U.S. 41 after midnight on Tuesday and broken down 24 hours later. The retired circus performer once toured with Nik's legendary great grandfather Karl Wallenda, who fell to his death on the wire in 1978 at age 73.
Mindful of his son's improvisational showboating — in 2010, Wallenda lay down on the wire midway between the Sarasota high-rises — Troffer says he never knows in advance what Nik will do.
"There's always an element of danger or finality if things go wrong. There's an element of concern when anybody walks the wire, so yeah, I worry," Troffer says. "But you make safety your priority, you make sure everything's in place, and that's all you can do. You don't let it eat at you."
So far, the risky business is beginning to pay off with some unlikely opportunities. In the second year of his Jean Richard contract, for instance, Wallenda may have the option of designing his own watch.
"I'd probably want a watch that tells you how high up you are, altimeter readings, wind speeds, things that reflect what I do," he says. "I'd also want a piece of cable incorporated into it somehow."

Easy to use and efficient. Like gnurf, I'm recording gameplay with this application and this application never causes problems or slows down the game. I tried other programs - commercial ones - that didn't run as good by far.
Also, the support is really helpful!
Lightweight and efficient. I use it to capture game movies now and then, and it doesn't bog down the system like I'm used to apps of this sort doing.

After driving down to the DC area from upstate NY to surprise my girl, I said hey let's go see Phish. Neither of us had seen them before but by then I knew most of the tunes and had a handful of shows on tape. So we drive a couple of hours into rural Virginia and pull into the lot. After some extracurriculars we head in.
The Nissan Pavilion was your typical summer shed. We had pavilion seats about 3/4 of the way back and towards the middle. The band strolls on stage, the crowd is pumped, showtime.
Set 1:
Divided Sky - not a horrible way to open my first show! Fuckin stupendous version, really hot right out of the gate and with an early summer sunset taboot. Killer.
Suzie - ok, a fun one, nothing too memorable
Taste - wow a new tune. Good early Taste.
Fee - good stuff, standard but with the megaphone
Uncle Pen - I'm a pretty big fan of bluegrass and it was appropriate for middle of nowhere bumfuck VA. So I dug this Bill Monroe classic.
Julius - let me put it this way, if they played a Julius this good TODAY the entire phish community would be fuh-reaaking out. Just one of the several reasons this show should get more love.
Lawn Boy - standard summa classic ready for the next shoe to drop. And it would...
Curtain - wow, how friggin choice. I don't know if it is just me, but when I think back to 6/17/95 everything is tinged with a purple hue. This song screams purple to me. Great version, no "with" but the tension grew and grew until...
Stash - BAM right into Stash from Curtain. If the transition wasn't perfect enough, how about this version of Stash. Good fucking God. This Stash is the kill. Rages, peaks, rages some more. Every Stashophile needs needs needs to hear this one.
Set 2:
Wilson - kicking off set 2 with that dark heavy funk. Fairly standard version but it totally set the tone. We were in for a ride.
Maze - heeere we go. Sick maze. Killer version. This was probably my single favorite phish tune at this point so I was experiencing my first permagrin. Psyched.
Mound - ohhhh man. Dear Phish, please play Maze > Mound at every show. Thanks. Stellar, spacey version with Mike holding the "bitter bluuuuuuuuuuuue" just a little extra long. Sweet sweet sweet.
Tweezer - oh slam. This is where shit blasts off. One of those deep dank dark funky slimy solid grooves that just burns in your brain. You know what I'm talking about, this Tweezer is epcot! After the "uncle ebeneezer" bit it goes into a nice rocking jam. That builds. And builds. And builds some more. And then...
Johnny B Goode - what theee fuuuuuck! Tweezer > JBG! Totally out of the blue and yet expected and perfectly fitting out of the Tweezer jam. A ripping good, wicked fast version (say twice as fast as the Dead's version). After a short shredfest...
Tweezer/Montana - the comedown off the end of JBG lands peeeerfectly into that ultradense Tweezer sickness. How the hell they did that I still have no idea. But oh does it work. But that is not all. Far from it. The Tweezer jam melts into what is easily my favorite jam of 1995 (only possible exception being the Albany YEM). As far as straight-up improv, it does NOT get better. And to put the exclamation point on how sick it is they not only jam on Montana (my favorite cut off A Live One which was fairly new at the time) the post JBG jam alone is over 10 minutes but they drift into space and right (again peeerrrfectly) into...
McGrupps - okay again um you've gotta be joking. Gorgeous tune. Masterfully played gorgeous rendition. Completes what has become to me one of the most epic classic runs in my phish career still to thos day.
Acoustic Army - really nice acoustic instrumental, well played Phish well played
Sweet Adeline - nice standard a capella
Harry Hood - yet another spectacular, special unique version from this show. Simply put, Mike's bass line in the first part is frigging NAAAAAASTAYYY dirty gnarly. Some effects going on there and man you need to hear this Hood.
Sample - not done raging yet? Course not! This fun standard didn't disappoint and closes out this monstrous classic of a set in prime fashion.
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley tune first time played. With Dave Matthews singing and LeRoi (RIP) on sax. Cmon now. Just classic.
To sum up...
My first show and STILL one of my favorites 100+ shows and 18 years later. Classic tunes, amazing song placement, amazing jams, 2 first time bustouts, AND a bigtime guest. All I have left to say is... Phish, PLEASE PLEASE release this as a livephish sbd.

Hey Guys,
So after doing research, I realized that PS3 Media Server would be best for my Xbox360 and clearly my PS3. I've done the basic set up, downloaded VLC, and downloaded AVIsynth since I wanted everything on the general tab to have a check. The only one that's not checked is the AVIsynth/ffmpeg part (I really don't know what this means).
In any case, I've gotten the program to actually stream my videos from my desktop to my 360 through ethernet. Unfortunately, 1080p movies seem to have some jittery lagness that I can clearly see. On top of that, there are subtitles ingrained into the digital movies that I have. I've tried turning the subtitles button off in the general settings of PSM, but still no dice. I also tried to go into the menu options of the 360 while playing the movies, but whenever I click to turn subtitles off, it says "action not available." I don't have subtitle files to accompany the movies, just the movies itself and I still get these subtitles (sometimes even in another language).
Can anyone help me or give me a better guide to follow in how I should have this set up?

Rated 5 out of 5 by upgradedbathroom from worth waiting for When I ordered the towel ring, tissue holder and double robe hooks, I was notified that the towel ring was on back order for 4 months! The tissue holder and the robe hooks came right away and I liked them so much that I decided to wait for the towel rings rather than chose something else. I'm glad I did. The quality is great - very sturdy. They all look wonderful in my totally remodeled bathroom. I like the feature of the ring being open on one end so you don't have to thread the towel through a closed ring.

Ohio man who threatened police holds 'idiot' sign
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
CLEVELAND (AP) — A man who threatened officers in Cleveland is making a court-ordered public apology by standing near a police station with a sign describing himself as an idiot.
A judge had ordered 58-year-old Richard Dameron to stand outside a local police station with a sign bearing an apology. He began the vigil Monday and must stand outside for three hours each day for the rest of the week.
Dameron was convicted of threatening officers in 911 calls.
His public shaming isn't the first of its kind in the city. The Cleveland judge who sentenced Dameron previously made a woman wear an "idiot" sign in public for driving around a school bus.

Mayor Yuri Kostick opened a discussion concerning code of conduct rules for the Eagle Town Board by outlining 28 separate projects the community is launching or planning in the coming months and noting that the ongoing conflict over written communications from member Brandi Resa is distracting Eagle from the work at hand.
The subject proceeded to consume the majority of the evening's debate.
At the beginning of the meeting, Kostick noted the proposed conduct rules constituted a board discussion and not a public one. However, several area residents attended the meeting to speak on Resa's behalf. They questioned the code adoption, suggesting it represented an assault on Resa's First Amendment rights.
"First Amendment Rights and Freedom of Speech are not up for debate," Kostick responded. "I believe censorship is un-American and will not be tolerated."
However, he noted that other members of the board have issues with the content of the blog. Kostick said that the tone of her writing is contributing to a negative perception of the town.
For instance, Kostick noted that Resa has repeatedly written blogs about errors in the proposed 2013 budget. Tuesday night she again stated her budget concerns have not been addressed. Kostick said when she brought forward her concerns, staff responded that the numbers were a typo and corrected the data. The board then requested quarterly financial reports be prepared so members could examine town finances on a more regular basis.
"In my mind, you got the resolution you are looking for," said Kostick. "Your interpretation of what is happening here is not what has happened here."
Resa noted that she is the sole member voicing certain concerns and because she does not have support on the board, she airs her issues on her blog. For instance, she cited a chief ongoing complaint - a recommendation from the town's auditors to be more aggressive in billing and collecting fees from developers for reimbursements.
"I don't think it is acceptable that we are not billing developers for costs," said Resa. Noting that she is a CPA and that the budget is a large concern for her personally, Resa said she believes it is her obligation to tell citizens about financial issues such as reinbursables.
When a large scale development - such as the commercial/residential Eagle River Station project or the residential Haymeadow project - is presented to the town, staff time and consultant fees are billed back to the developer. Eagle Town Manager Willy Powell emphatically stated that the town does bill and does collect fees for those services and that the auditor's remarks reflected the goal of having payments happen in a timely fashion. During 2012 the town of Eagle billed $100,529.69 to Eagle River Station for reinbursables. The amount that is outstanding is $28,187.31 and the latest bill was sent Dec. 11. Last year, Haymeadow was billed $54,565.87 and the amount that is outstanding is $17,115.08, billed Dec. 11. All other developers are current on payments. The only other outstanding unpaid reimbursable bill for 2012 is $535 for all the records associated with the Eagle River Station hearing, which was requested by and provided to Jan Rosenthal and the Citizens for the Future of Eagle and billed May 16.
Town board member Joe Knabel noted that issue of reinbursables reflects his concern with Resa's blogging - that the issues she brings forward are sometimes misleading.
Knabel noted the reimbursable issue was one suggestion from the auditors in a "list of items for continual improvement." However, Knabel noted, the dominant theme of both the audit and its accompanying management letter was that the town is in strong fiscal condition and that its finances are in "excellent order." The heart of the issue was that the town staff did an excellent job on financial issues, not the reimbursement suggestion, noted Knabel.
Resa noted that she has made several suggestions regarding better financial reporting that staff and the board has not followed up.
"I take extreme issue with that. I am following up," said Kostick. "There's a difference between critiquing and participating. The critique part is simply throwing mud and I don't think that helps."
Because she is often the only member of the board who takes dissenting position on a topic, Resa said her blog is the platform she uses to present her viewpoint on a given issue.
"Sometimes I go silent and put my frustrations on the blog," she said.
"You have been elected to have those discussions with six other people and you have been doing it more on your blog than in this room," said Kostick.
Knabel noted that as a town board member, Resa has a responsibility to follow through with her opinions and that raising questions and blogging about them is not the right way to approach the issue.
"I am not in favor of blog postings that call any of us on the carpet for unethical behavior. Those concerns need to come here and be talked about in an open format," said town board member Anne McGibbin. "What I am asking is if there are truly issues, they get brought up here."
During the code of conduct discussion, various members questioned whether adopting a specific ethics code was in the town's best interest.
Town board member Scot Webster noted one of the citizens who spoke on Brandi's behalf stated the board should simply follow the Golden Rule and he agreed with that analogy.
"When Brandi's blogs are factually incorrect, that is what bothers me the most."
Town board member Scott Turnipseed echoed that concern. "I don't like that some of the things that she is saying aren't true," he said.
Turnipseed noted that earlier this year, when he forwarded an email to a group of people that was uncomplimentary about Resa, he was out of order as defined by the code of conduct.
"It was my right to do that, but it wasn't the right thing to do. The mistake I made was not being supportive of another board member," said Turnipseed. He noted he has repeatedly apologized for his behavior and the incident made him realize it is the town board's responsibility to treat one another, the public and staff with respect.
"If we are not doing that, someone should tell us," said Turnipseed.
He asked Resa if she would support the town's adoption of a code of conduct. She responded that the rules would help spell out how board members treat one another and she would support the adoption.
"I will take the criticisms into account. I think I am a reasonable person," she said.
After a lengthy discussion of the issue, the town board members agreed to re-examine the proposed code of conduct rules to determine if they want to adopt them. Members said they will re-examine the proposed wording and offer suggestions and determine in January if they will approve the conduct rules.
