NEW PORT RICHEY — Bipin Parikh, who joined the county staff 30 years ago as a plans examiner and worked his way up to assistant county administrator, is retiring at the end of May, joining a line of longtime senior officials who have made or are planning their exits soon.
Parikh, 64, came to the county in 1983 after working as a civil design engineer in Ontario. He later became the county's first development review manager and then was in charge of code enforcement. In 1991, he became assistant county administrator for development services and served double duty as the county engineer until 2002, when the county hired Jim Widman for the engineering position. Since he joined the county, permits have grown from 2,184 in 1983 to 9,700 during the boom era in 2005.
According to a county resolution approved Tuesday, Parikh will be remembered as "conscientious and steadfast in his work ethic, kind and generous to those who knew him, unwavering in his moral compass, and true to his beliefs 'using things, not people.'"
Parikh's retirement comes as the top leadership is undergoing radical change. Assistant County Administrators Dan Johnson and Mike Nurrenbrock retired last year and County Administrator John Gallagher plans to leave June 1.

DAYTONA HARLEY-DAVIDSON will host the annual Biketoberfest, which will run Thursday through Oct. 18. The Ormond Beach, Fla.- dealership is the world's largest Harley-Davidson dealership. It was owned by Bruce Rossmeyer before his death in a motorcycle crash earlier this year.
Biketoberfest features family-friendly activities like concerts, shows, food and vendors in an outdoor mall-like setting. More than 100,000 riders attend annually.
New for this year includes the Rat's Hole Annual World Famous Chopper Show, which will house 24 classes of bikes, a tattoo contest and door prizes. Biketoberfest is from 10 a.m. to midnight all week. Call 386-671-7100 or visit www.destinationdaytona.com for more information.
Earlier this week, the dealership hosted the 15th annual Ride for Children to benefit Camp Boggy Creek, a nonprofit organization for which Rossmeyer raised more than $3.8 million before his death.

A unit of art lessons in which each student will design a building and its surrounding landscape. Along the way, students will study some great architecture from various cultures.
What is architecture? What is not architecture?
In a small group, discuss your answers to these questions, and whether you would include the following in your definition of architecture, and why:
- The houses on your neighborhood? The grocery store? Our school? The ramada on our playground? The baseball field on our playground?
- A tent? All tents?
- A tunnel through a mountain? One for a highway? A mine shaft?
- The Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt?
- An aircraft carrier? A submarine? A one-person sailboat?
- An unmanned rocket? A manned space station?
The assignment:
Pretend you are a professional architect,
and the teacher is your client.
Your client walks in to your office, and says, "I have bought some land, and need you to figure out how best to build on it. I'll pay you the normal fee."
The normal fee is 10% of the entire cost of construction.
The first thing you ask is "What do you need the building for? Who is going to use it, and what will they need to do there?"
Your client says, "I have one acre, and it is located in an undeveloped area."
Normally the client specifies the location of a project. For this assignment, you can pick the rural location anywhere in the world. You must name an actual city that is the nearest one to your site. Your client continues, "I will give you two choices for the type of building it will be:
Once you choose which of these types of buildings you'll design, your job is to make a set of five drawings, and in this order:
I will explain what these are, and give you a list of requirements (or "specifications") for each drawing. The more your drawings satisfy these requirements, the higher will be your grade. The rubric will be further explained soon.
Each drawing must be made on a 12 x 18 inch sheet of white paper.
The drawings must be bound with staples along their left edge as they are produced.
Each drawing must be labeled on its front side with the following information:
If you design a fast-food restaurant:
If you design a modest vacation home:
Begin the project by drawing a bubble diagram.
This lesson was written particularly for 6th grade students at Copper Canyon Elementary School, Phoenix AZ, USA. You are welcome to use it in your classroom too.

A Must Read - Share
WASHINGTON -- President Obama will not include cuts to Social Security and other earned-benefit programs in his upcoming budget, the White House confirmed on Thursday.
The cuts had been included in past proposals to lure Republicans into a so-called "grand bargain" that would raise taxes and cut spending with the goal of deficit reduction. The president faced fierce resistance to the cuts, and while Republicans liked the idea, they never agreed to pair the policy with higher taxes.
The withdrawal of the offer from the budget is a recognition of the reality that a grand bargain is simply

Term used to describe the visible part of a thong on a chick's butt when worn with low rise pants - resembles a whale's tail. (I say chick because I don't want to see a guy wearing this.)
That whale's tail really accentuates her ass!

Can you define these popular missing words?
The top portion of a thong that sticks out over the back of the pants when a female bends over.
"Maria's drunk ass fell on the floor clearly displaying her whales tail."

Jordan may reunite with ex hubby Peter Andre
The 32-year-old came up with the plot with ghost writer Rebecca Farnworth, reports the Daily Star. Paradise is based on a celeb couple who divorce and the mum-of-three said: "It"s a story about a couple and then another man gets involved. It sounds very similar to my life, actually.
"It"s like Rebecca and me are predicting what"s going to happen to me in my life. The character might get back with her ex, she might not."
Promotional blurb for the racy novel says the model "can"t stop thinking" about her ex and feels "breathless" when he is around.

Are Your Blog Links Secretly Broken?
Is your blog broken? Are your visitors finding broken bits and pieces on your site that have escaped your careful scrutiny?
If you've been blogging for any length of time, trust me, there are broken links all over the place and it's irritating as all get out for your visitors.
What sorts of links get broken?
Essentially you have 2 types of links on your site: links to your own blog which can be text links or images (internal links) and links out to other sites (external or outbound links).
Both link types can break. Internal links usually break if you transfer your site and don't know how to take the necessary precautions to keep links intact (both image and text links can be affected,) or if you change your permalinks at some point after blogging for awhile.
External links break when someone else say, moves their blog to a self-hosted WordPress and you're still linking to their old blogspot or WordPress.com site, changes their links or just isn't blogging anymore.
Why broken links on your blog are bad
First, it makes for a crappy visitor experience. That should be reason enough but if it's not, lots of broken links on your site are NOT good for your blog's SEO. Google doesn't like to rank site's high if they have tons of broken links everywhere.
A few clients have noticed a dramatic increase in search results just from having this issue fixed for them so don't underestimate the return on investment you're going to get from fixing your links.
How to fix your broken links
The first thing is to find them. That can be accomplished easily with the plugin, Broken Link Checker, available from the WordPress plugin directory.
Once installed, you will find the settings for the plugin under Settings–>Link Checker. The screen looks like this:
If you click on the advanced tab, you can start a full site check after you install the plugin. Otherwise, the site will send you an email every 72 hours (or how often you specify) letting you know of any newly broken links that have occurred.
Once the full site check is complete, you may be a bit shocked by the number of broken links, but it's better to know! Time to get the head out of the sand.
The plugin will list all the links in a tidy table and you can adjust the links right from that table without logging into each post which saves a lot of time.
Recently, we worked on a site for a client that have over 2600 broken links, it took about 4-5 hours to complete the updates to the site but it can be done over the course of a number of days and really makes an impact in the end.
Do you keep track of your broken links on your site? Were you shocked by the number?

Let the Sea Set me Free – New Zealand
Hi my name's Rebecca Law (Bex) I'm from Mangawhai Heads in Northland New Zealand.
I grew up on the shores of Lake Karapiro Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing which took me to London where I was the only girl coaching Wakeboarding on a private lake. I've done my Snowboard instructors. I grew up competing in snowboarding and Wakeboarding through secondary school. I took up surfing after I left school, and I haven't looked back since.
I have a degree in graphic design and photography. I work as a freelance photographer doing weddings and underwater portraits. My favorite thing is Surf/water photography I've spent the last year in the water with my camera and have had some amazing photo sessions and shoots, mermaids, sharks, dolphins, and pre sunrise surf sessions… I have a website www.singlefin.co.nz which every week showcases the best photos I've taken around the surf lifestyle that I live in. I am usually up pre dawn every morning getting the sunrise (its the most amazing time of the day!) and every week the best are sent out to a subscriber based email….
I have always dreamed of working for a company like ROXY so this is really the ultimate for me combining my creative, passionate and energetic personality with my love for board sports and an active lifestyle. Please help me become a spokesperson for ROXY. I have already met some amazing girls through this competition.
Check out my video most of which is filmed around Mangawhai Heads, its all filmed within the two weeks final submission time, I jumped 192m's off the sky tower, watched the dolphins surf my local break, had our local break PUMPING, saw the sun rise every morning, went from the surf to the snow at snow planet and galloped along the beach with Parkiri horse treks.. I had the best 2 weeks filming, I had a lot of support from friends and family, its just the start for me, this competition has really got me into film and I can't wait to shoot some more, keep an eye out on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/lawbex
Please vote for my video to help me get through to the final judging round.
I am the only KIWI in the finals, the finalists were announced on my birthday so I got the best birthday present ever!
Heres my video –

Scott is in front of a tight race
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) -- Adam Scott will start the
fourth round of the British Open with a four-shot lead over Brandt
Snedeker and Graeme McDowell. And five shots back is a guy by the
name of Tiger Woods.
Scott shot a 2-under 68 in the third round to finish play
11-under-par. McDowell shot a 3-under-67 to secure his share of the
runner-up position, while Snedeker was all over the course with a
3-over-73. His round consisted of six bogeys and three birdies.
Woods toured the 18 holes in par-70 and is 6-under overall, five
shots back of Scott. Ernie Els and Zach Johnson are a shot off
The forecast is calling for gusting winds for the fourth round.
Nats-Braves up first
UNDATED (AP) -- There are three afternoon games being played in
the National League. In the first-half of a day-night doubleheader,
Washington is playing host to Atlanta. The Nationals started the
day with a 2 1/2 game lead over the Braves in the National League
East. The other NL day games feature the Dodgers playing the Mets
in New York, and San Francisco in Philadelphia against the
The rest of the National League schedule is under the lights.
Washington's John Lannan makes his major league season debut
against Atlanta after spending the season at Triple-A. Pittsburgh's
A.J. Burnett will try for his 11th victory when he faces Miami's
lineup. Cincinnati hosts the Milwaukee Brewers, who will send
Yovani Gallardo (yoh-VAH'-nee gy-AHR'-doh) to the mound against
Bronson Arroyo. The Reds-Brewers clash is scheduled to begin around
the same time Jake Westbrook throws his first pitch for St. Louis
against the Chicago Cubs. In other games, Arizona is entertaining
Houston and Colorado is at San Diego.
The American League schedule begins with key matchups in the
Central and West divisions. Chicago White Sox hurler Chris Sale is
looking for 12th win as the Sox face the Tigers in Detroit.
Entering play the Tigers are just a half-game back of the White Sox
in the AL Central.
The only other AL matinee has Texas playing the Angels in
Anaheim. Ranger's starter Yu Darvish enters the game with a 10-6
mark as he tries to stretch his team's lead in the West to six
games over the Angels.
Later on, it's Baltimore at Cleveland, Kansas City hosting
Minnesota, Tampa Bay entertaining Seattle, Toronto visiting Boston
and the New York Yankees facing the Athletics in Oakland. Phil
Hughes goes for his 10th win for the Yankees, who own baseball's
largest division lead.
Santana placed on DL
NEW YORK (AP) -- Johan (YOH'-hahn) Santana was placed on the
15-day disabled list by the Mets with a sprained right ankle. The
left-hander has struggled since Reed Johnson of the Cubs stepped on
his foot July 6 on a play at first base. Santana was hit hard for
the third straight start Friday night in a 7-6 loss to the Dodgers,
and manager Terry Collins said afterward the team was looking for a
way to get some "energy" back in his arm.
Santana missed last season following major shoulder surgery. He
is 6-7 with a 3.98 ERA in 19 starts covering 110 2-3 innings.
Bradley secures lead with win
CHARTRES, France (AP) -- Bradley Wiggins all but wrapped up the
2012 Tour de France with a win in the final time trial. The Team
Sky leader obliterated the pack in today's 33-mile ride from
Bonneval to Chartres. He is poised to become the first Briton to
take home the yellow jersey.

tomorrow's IndyCar race in Edmonton, Alberta. A year ago Will Power
took the checkered flag as he held off teammate Helio Castroneves
for the fourth of his six 2011 victories.
Series points leader Ryan Hunter-Reay was penalized in Friday's
first practice session for unsportsmanlike conduct. He was charged

The whiff of takeover that has swirled around Mitchells & Butlers became more pungent yesterday when the billionaire trader Joe Lewis increased his stake in the Harvester and Vintage Inns operator.
Mr Lewis's Piedmont investment vehicle, which in October withdrew a near-£3 billion bid for the company, citing market volatility, revealed that it had lifted its stake from 22.8 per cent to 23.1 per cent.

I was both angered and frustrated by the Thursday article in The Herald "No timetable set on Reardon probe" and left with a lot of questions. The investigation was handed over to the Island County Prosecuting Attorney, Greg Banks, because of a "conflict of interest" with the Snohomish County Prosecutor's office. What conflict of interest? Isn't part of the responsibility of the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney to investigate potential wrong-doing by Snohomish County officials?
Obviously, Mr. Banks is sitting on his hands with no sense of urgency to expedite the investigation into the charges against Mr. Reardon. If Mr. Banks is too busy, why did he accept the responsibility of the investigation? So far, no one connected with the investigation has interviewed Mr. Reardon as he continues to hide behind his office as County Executive and his lawyers. Why? Now we find out that Mr. Reardon and his aide, Kevin Hulten, may be involved in dirty, if not illegal, campaign tactics. Sound familiar? Remember Richard Nixon? Remember his "dirty tricks"?
I get the feeling that everyone involved in the investigation (and especially Mr. Reardon) feel that if this drags on long enough, we, the taxpayers, will just forget about it and Mr. Reardon can continue his tax and spend ways with impunity and move forward with his political aspirations.
One final question — if Mr. Reardon does not have to answer to the Snohomish County Commissioners, who does he answer to except the apathetic people who keep voting him into office?

Take a bunch of talented musicians, born and raised in Kimberley, South Africa. Nurtured on a diet of American R&B, reggae and indigenous rhythms and melodies, they have a formidable touring track record on the local club and festival circuit, extending to European tours backing such luminaries as Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Lucky Dube. Combine this extensive experience and their hard work ethic, and you have a truly professional line-up led by the charismatic Dr Victor, who are ready to come into their own.
Basing their first album on classic Eddie Grant and Dr Alban hits performed in their own unmistakable style of pop afro-reggae, with the addition of their original compositions, they established their sound and live performance magic firmly across the nation in the early 90's. Songs such as "Hello Africa", "Give me hope Jo'anna", "Safe Sex", "The Warrior" amongst others became national hits in clubs, campuses and stadiums. Dr Victor, relentlessly steering his Rebels to new heights, kept adding sparkling new hits to their recording catalogue, such as "Badayo", "Shambala" and "One Goal One Wish", ensuring that their distinct sound was heard on the airwaves continuously.
An indication of their popularity has been their support act status on stage with international acts such as PAUL SIMON, and TINA TURNER. In 1997 they completed a nationwide tour with GLORIA ESTEFAN. In 1998 they were invited to perform at Midem in Cannes France. They completed a 5 month 5 star hotel tour in Israel and then were booked to support JANET JACKSON back home. They returned to Israel in 1999 for an additional 3 month tour.
formidable Dr Victor shares the stage with :
George – Vocals
Chippa – Drums
Dave – Bass
Winston – Keyboards
Petrus – Sound Engineer
What can we say? Only that the love and honesty inherent in the music Dr Victor and his Rebels perform (not to exclude sheer talent), has ensured for them an ever-growing following across the race, cultural, stylistic and global borders.
Can't think of many other groups that can claim such an achievement!

structure and to automate the production of various documents necessary in
the construction process.
The new version provides engineers with the technology to better design
and implement their construction projects by optimizing the use of
materials, eliminating the inconsistencies between the different parts of
the project, reducing the design cycle, ensuring the traceability of
information, improving the communication efficiency among the project
partners, and so much more...
Thus, the GRAITEC Advance suite allows users to significantly increase
their productivity (by eliminating double entries and with automatic
updates) and to reduce errors with its numerous control tools.
Moreover, the following features improve the collaborative work process :
Francis GUILLEMARD, CEO of GRAITEC, comments: "In addition to the new
specific functionalities that improve our users' daily efficiency and
productivity, the 2010 versions of the GRAITEC Advance suite offer a BIM
system that allows an improved collaboration between software applications.
This strategic trend contributes to the development of technologies for
numerical simulation that aim to optimize the process and the use of
materials, and, thus, to provide a long lasting development."
Advance Design 2010
Advance Design was specifically developed for structural analysis using a
powerful FEM analysis engine. It includes various tools for the design of
reinforced concrete and steel structures, integrating the latest European
design standards (Eurocodes 1, 2 and 3).
The 2010 version includes the latest Eurocodes developments:
With the partnership with ArcelorMITTAL, GRAITEC also ensures the
optimization of castellated beams according to EC3. Advance Design 2010 is
also compatible with the British standard BS 8110 for Concrete design.
Numerous new functionalities are also available: defining calculation
points for temporal analysis, management of beam boundary conditions,
selection by systems, post-processing of eigenvectors on selections, new
diagram types for graphic results, etc.
Joseph PAIS, Advance Design Product Manager comments: "With the
implementation of the latest Eurocodes developments, the 2010 version is an
Industry leading European version of Advance Design that integrates the
national standards from the main E.U. countries, making Advance Design the
number 1 choice for Structural Engineers."
Advance Concrete 2010
Advance Concrete automates the creation of construction drawings,
reinforcement drawings, BOM and NC files.
In addition to being compatible with AutoCAD 2010, Advance Concrete 2010
has major performance improvements: the calculation time for elevations,
sections and isometric views was reduced by a factor of 4 to 6. Another
major optimization is the new ergonomics of the Dynamic Reinforcement, a
unique system which allows for the easy placement of the reinforcement cage
in the model.
Many other improvements are also available:
Herve DELFOSSE, Advance Concrete Marketing Product Manager comments: "The
new 2010 version represents an important step in the software. Its new
features allow users to improve the efficiency of the reinforcement design
process and to reduce costs."
Advance Steel 2010
Advance Steel automates the entire structural CAD process (fabrication,
erection drawings, various reports, BOM's etc) and creates NC fabrication
In addition to being compatible with AutoCAD 2010, Advance Steel 2010
significantly increases the productivity for fabrication drawing creation.
The time for generating drawings has been reduced by a factor of 2 to 3.
To facilitate the learning process, Advance Steel ergonomics were
improved: a new user interface provides improved selection and creation of
connections, new options to isolate elements in the model and to work only
in 2D, better use of the realistic rendering that allows a better
understanding and manipulation of the model, a new Advance Steel Ribbon
interface, etc.
Many other improvements are also available:
Philippe BONNEAU, Advance Steel Marketing Product Manager comments: "The
new 2010 version of Advance Steel, significantly increases productivity and
has a new user-friendly interface developed for the optimal use of the

Second day of serial killer's penalty hearing wraps upUPDATED 6:26 PM EDT Jul 29, 2014
On day two of serial killer William Clyde Gibson's final sentencing, the defense painted him as a bipolar addict whose father was verbally abusive.Video Transcript
HOLD UP, YOU SHOULD CONTACT POLICE. A MONSTER. THAT IS HOW PROSECUTORS DESCRIBE CLYDE GIBSON. BUT TODAY, THE DEFENSE PAINTED A MUCH DIFFERENT PICTURE OF THE CONVICTED SERIAL KILLER AT THE SECOND DAY OF HIS PENALTY HEARING. THEY DESCRIBE HIM AS A MAN WITH MENTAL ISSUES AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCIES THAT GOT WORSE AFTER HIS MOTHER'S DEATH. W-L-K-Y'S MARISSA ALTER IS FOLLOWING THE CASE. SHE'S LIVE OUTSIDE THE FLOYD COUNTY COURTHOUSE... MARISSA? CLYDE GIBSON ALREADY PLEADED GUILTY TO STEPHANIE KIRK'S 2012 MURDER. TODAY, HIS DEFENSE TEAM CALLED THOSE CLOSEST TO GIBSON TO TESTIFY TO TRY AND SHOW WHY HE SHOULDN'T DIE FOR KILLING THE CHARLESTOWN WOMAN. BUT PROSECUTOR KEITH HENDERSON SAID ALL HE HEARD WERE EXCUSES. Keith Henderson/Floyd County Prosecutor: This is not only a murder case, but I consider it an example of the worst of the worst. A 35-YEAR-OLD MOTHER STRANGLED, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED, THEN BURIED IN A HOLE. CLYDE GIBSON ADMITTED HE DID THAT TO STEPHANIE KIRK. BUT GIBSON'S OLDER SISTER TOOK THE STAND AND DESCRIBED A ROUGH CHILDHOOD WITH A STRICT ALCOHOLIC FATHER. SHE SAID, LIKE THEIR DAD, GIBSON STRUGGLED WITH ALCOHOL UNABLE TO GET CLEAN DESPITE HELP FROM FAMILY. HE WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER BUT NEVER TOOK MEDICATION. GIBSON'S EX-WIFE TESTIFIED AS WELL ABOUT HIS DRINKING, SAYING IT ULTIMATELY LED TO THE BREAKUP OF THEIR TEN YEAR MARRIAGE. BOTH WOMEN TOLD THE COURT HIS MOTHER'S DEATH IN JANUARY 2012 LEFT HIM DEVASTATED. Keith Henderson/Floyd County Prosecutor: They've developed the alcoholism excuse, the second is the grief over the loss of his mother and and then finally. His troubled, so called troubled childhood. THE DEFENSE ARGUED GIBSON WAS REMORSEFUL AND POINTED OUT KIRK WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED A MISSING PERSON IF HE HADN'T CONFESSED. THIS IS FROM A LETTER HE WROTE IN POLICE CUSTODY. "You may not believe this but I am heart sick about all the terrible things I have done. It seems like I have been so evil since 1999. When I say I will do anything to help, I really mean it." GIBSON ALSO WROTE ABOUT HIS BATTLE WITH ALCOHOL, "I drink, I black out sometimes and I don't recall anything." BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THAT'S NOT RELEVANT TO HIS SENTENCING. Do you think there's anything that mitigates what he's done? Keith Henderson/Floyd County Prosecutor: No I don't. Keith Henderson/Floyd County Prosecutor: There's certain actions in our society that demand certain punishment and that's why we're seeking the death penalty. THE DEFENSE WILL CALL ONE FINAL WITNESS TOMORROW A PSYCHOLOGIST. GIBSON ALSO HAS THE RIGHT TO TESTIFY BUT HIS ATTORNEYS HAVEN'T SAID HIS PLAN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. JUDGE ORTH WILL HAND DOWN HER SENTENCE IN MID-AUGUST. GIBSON HAS ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED OF TWO OTHER MURDERS AND RECEIVED DEATH FOR ONE AND 65 YEARS FOR THE OTHER.

Microsoft Earnings Leak Out Early
UPDATE: Confirmed: The early leak of Microsoft earnings appears to stem from a data company called Selerity. We unmask how they got the scoop. Read Microsoft's statement here:
Rather than posting results after the close of regular trading, Microsoft earnings starting bubbling out roughly 15 minutes earlier. No, we don't know why.
But Deal Journal wrote previously about early disclosure of earnings from NetApp and Disney last year. In each case, it was the result of Bloomberg News guessing the Web addresses for companies' earnings news releases, and pulling from the websites earlier than the companies expected.
See HERE for Deal Journal's take on NetApp's earnings and click HERE for the AP's take on Disney earnings.
UPDATE: Our friends at MarketBeat weigh in with the actual results, which were better than estimates.They also point out some people made some pretty sweet money thanks to the early Microsoft earnings release.

They have still not paid these two invoices as of summer 2010 (one year later)! We have sent several past due notices, phone calls, etc. After a recent email Jacob called us to make a payment by credit card. After attempting to run the credit card payment three different times (each time, getting a different AVS mismatch for the address), Jacob, who had apparently conferenced in his boss, called us and began screaming and cursing us on the phone saying he was going to call the local sheriff to charge us with fraud for running his credit card three times. I tried to inform him that it was declined each time and we were attempting to correct the address format in order to get the approval to go through, he continued screaming and cursing that he would be hanging up and contacting the sheriff to charge us with fraud. I'm assuming he finally realized it was declined each time.
Quite frankly, I believe it was only a diversion tactic to avoid paying yet again.
As if this weren't enough, they had the gall to contact us again about 2 days later to inquire if we had a tech available for a job! I was so stunned, I thought it had to be a joke. I asked the person, Josh, if he was kidding. He said no. I explained why we could not do the job for them and requested that he permanently remove us from their vendor records for future work. (I considered recommending that he find a job working for someone who can actually pay their bills, but I bit my tongue). It's not like this is all due to recent economic woes. This company has been playing this same game for several years. DON'T BE FOOLED!
Avoid this company like the plague. I have spoken with several other companies and technicians who have had similar experiences with them. Their only known customer is GameStop, so they may be in cahoots but I don't know for sure. One company mentioned putting a contractor's lien against the site customer and he was finally paid. We will be trying this in the near future. Will update this with results later.

Just an update to let everyone interested know that after posting this, sending Wolf yet another email (copying their attorneys) informing them of this website information and threatening to also put a contractor's lien on their customer, Game Stop, and letting Game Stop know what was going on, Game Stop authorities contacted us to make good on both of these invoices immediately. They were very concerned about their reputation and I believe sincerely did not know anything about this going on.
They did, however, send us a check immediately to pay these invoices and we have deposited them. We are waiting to make sure the money clears the bank but, if all goes well, this will be our last update.
Thanks RipOffReport for giving us the venue for getting this long-overdue debt resolved. :)
P.S. Shame on Wolf Cabling for conducting business this way. Noone wins...

Typically, servers do not request tickets (including TGTs) at all
unless they are also functioning as a client. Servers keep their
key in local storage.
If a client needs to talk to multiple servers that share the same
principal, then it needs only one TGT (and one service ticket).

Desktop Summit 2011: Akademy and Guadec Reunited in 2011
Following the success of the Desktop Summit in 2009 and separate events in 2010, Akademy and Guadec will again meet in a combined event in 2011. Organizers are now looking for a venue.
The Gnome Foundation and KDE e.V have praised the 2009 Gran Canary desktop Summit as a great success. After an intermezzo with separate events this year, the communities are looking for a host for another joint annual conference in 2011, announced yesterday.
The two desktop giants may have shared the same venue for GCDS 2009, the two events were held separately. This will change, and be better in 2011. According to Vincent Untz, board member at Gnome, collaboration between the parties is to be extended and a common program decided. "We enjoyed working with our KDE friends at GCDS in 2009, and want to increase our cooperation in 2011. We plan to go beyond simple co-location this time, and actually plan a combined schedule in 2011 so that KDE and GNOME contributors have every opportunity to work with and learn from each other."
KDE e.V and Gnome are now looking for a suitable European venue, big enough and with the necessary infrastructure to accommodate around 1000 participants. Applications must be entered by May 15, 2010. Details of requirements can be found on the KDE homepage (Akademy) and at the Gnome page, (Guadec).
This year the main conferences with KDE and Gnome will be held separately, starting with Akademy from July 3 to 10 in Tampere (Finland) and Guadec in Holland's The Hague, (July 24 to 30).
Desktop SummitI read somewhere that more than 850 contributors to the GNOME and KDE projects gathered in Gran Canaria last July. The event brought together attendees from 50 countries, and helped raise local awareness of free software and had a measurable impact on the local community. The impact of the event continues to be felt even after the event, with nearly 2 million hits to the summit Web site following the event. That is really impressive!

The Perfect Bathroom
January 19, 2015
I'm staring down two bathroom remodels and in many ways they couldn't be more different and in other ways they will end up with many of the same details. One bathroom is tiny and has an egress out to the yard and beach and a step down which prevents certain floor plans, the other is a good sized room with a paladin window on the largest of the four walls and three doors. What to do?!? Well…
BATHROOM 1. Is hopefully going to get a full slab shower stall. It's simple, rich, and spare but still has a quality and a quiet elegance I think this little room needs. The plan will be to have a removable teak "mat" inside the shower and a rain style shower head. Frameless glass door is a must to maintain the simple, uncluttered vibe. It's shaping up to look a lot like this image (above) but I want to bring back some more traditional elements so I won't do a poured concrete counter top or the contemporary open shelving instead I'm thinking horizontal V-grove boards on the walls with built-in medicine cabinets and a sink that feels like an updated throwback like the bathroom below. I think I really like the oversized dark floor of this bathroom too. Should hide dogs hair, dust and debris better than a white floor (the other option I'm thinking about).
BATHROOM 2. Is a big room to fill, but I need to get a tub, shower, toilet and 2 sinks into a room with three doors and a BIG window. I really want to put the sink into an armoire, the idea of "furniture" in this space appeals to me because I think the room – it's also 9.5 foot ceilings – needs to be filled up a bit. This idea might make two sinks impossible but the extra sink is more negotiable than the tub, shower or toilet. Those are must haves! There are existing hardwood floors in the room currently, and I'd like to make them work either as is or perhaps painted, I love a painted floor. I am planning on subway tiles floor to ceiling in this room with V-grove board ceiling and an over sized lantern centered in the room. This bathroom will be mostly if not all traditional.
What do you care? Well, here are the lessons in todays blog:
1. Before you call the contractor, and before you head out to go shopping for finishes. PICK A STYLE or the "look" you think you want to achieve. This will help you from getting distracted once you are standing in front of all those bright and shiny choices and you either glaze over or pick something that has nothing to do with your desired look.
2. MAP IT OUT. Spend as much time as you have planning and playing with how the room can be set up, use tape on the floor to do this, or make templates from newspaper or draw mini versions (to scale, kits available on-line if you don't have this talent) and plan, plan, plan.
3. Like most of us, you probably have a budget. It's pretty helpful to MAKE A LIST of everything you think you need and put a price next to it to help you understand how much you have to spend on each item. Splurging on a sexy faucet might mean going cheap on the toilet. Mosaic tile floor might mean run of the mill tile in the shower. Once you have your list, be sure to subtract the contractors (and sub-contractors) labor estimates, reduce your over all budget number and then have fun shopping.
4. Unless you intentionally want some shock value keep the overall vision of your project in keeping with the architecture of the home/condo/apartment. There is nothing worse than walking in a Colonial home and getting hit with a Tuscan bathroom. WRONG. Want Tuscany? Move there.
Hudson Bay Blanket Obsession
January 2, 2015
I have always liked the classic Hudson Bay blanket. The primary colors of the signature HBC Collection striped point blanket first became popular in the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714). First commissioned by HBC in 1800, the multi stripe has never been out of production since. It is the most popular colorway of all the HBC point blankets, past or present. Over time, it has become the product most identified with HBC, and by extension, Canada. Calling it a classic is an understatement I guess!
Careful attention to detail and authenticity ensures that today's customer is acquiring the same high-quality blanket as the one produced centuries before. Today the Point Blanket is manufactured in Yorkshire, at the finest woollen mill in England. The number of points, or handmade thin stripes, on the edge of the blanket reflects its size. Authentic HBC blankets are 100% woven wool.
I have a pair of mid-century chairs that belonged to my grandmother that I would love to recover this way. Even though the textile is wool, I think the palette would support any season and wool is so durable. Who wants to help me convince my husband this is a good look for our chairs in our tiny cottage by the sea?
In a very simple room (all white) this sheet set or duvet cover could look cute, but beware! a little bit goes a very long way. Please avoid the pillows to match, the candle and the coasters, iPhone cover and everything else this pattern is tortured into covering. I think it's best look is just being a blanket and after that, upholstery. It looks so good on this little ottoman, doesn't it?
Cape Cod Modern
November 24, 2014
I have had a mid-century house – an Eichler built in 1958 nestled at the foot of rolling golden hills in California – and I currently live in a Colonial Revival – built in 1907 in the Georgian style in a town with more history than I can fathom – and after my adventure today of hiking the dunes on Cape Cod and discovering Mid-century gems cast away and being left to ruin, my heart aches for a clean simple box, unadorned and angular sitting amongst the scrub pines with a view out to sea. Waxing poetic, huh?
Well, I can't help it… I LOVE ARCHITECTURE. I love design, I can't turn it off and I certainly can't own a house in every style I love. So I blog about it. Here's what I did today… My partner in crime and life and I drove a short distance from our little cottage on the beach and followed a winding little road out to the open seashore of Cape Cod. There in all it's glory the sandy cliffs play host to a very important modern structure named the Hatch House.The experimental Hatch Cottage was designed by Jack Hall in 1960 for Robert Hatch, an editor of The Nation and his wife Ruth, a painter. The family occupied the cottage until 2008 when ownership reverted to the National Park Service. CCMHT received a lease in 2012 and finished restoration in spring 2013. Since then the cottage has hosted four artist/scholar residencies. All the original furniture and artwork has been re-installed by the Hatch family. It's hard to describe the setting of the Hatch Cottage, with it's panoramic view of the bay, perched on the edge of a kettle hole, with a vernal pool below, and it's untrammeled west facing hillside which takes in the sunset over the water. Because it's in the National Seashore, surrounding development has been frozen since its construction. The cottage itself is a matrix of cubes. Some are single and some combine to make bigger shared spaces. The cubes are connected by outdoor decks which seem to dematerialise due to the decking being laid on edge; making the whole seem to hover a few feet above the ground. The rooms open and close with shutters of different sizes to regulate temperature, air and sun. There are two rooms with queen sized beds, a bunk room, one bath, a lovely path to a generally un-occupied bay beach and access to many trails through the woods. *This excerpt taken from the Cape Cod Modern Historic Trust website, see more at ccmht.org
After seeing such a beautiful modern structure built in a truly majestic setting I thought the rest of our day would be spent discussing the merits of this incredible structure and how we might someday replicate it – or something close to it – for our very own… But I continued to be surprised after we parked on an unmarked fire road somewhere between Truro and Wellfleet and hiked into a pristine pine and oak forest. The most beautiful fall-infused path opened up to miles of open seashore and the forest revealed its hidden treasures… many abandoned mid-century homes, slowly being reclaimed by the land they were built on.
Now owned by the federal government, these beautiful examples of mid-century architecture are decaying. Still beautiful, only hauntingly so, I could so easily imagine living in any one of the structures we came upon. This sad structure being the first we saw, I will admit it's heartbreaking but this was the worst of what we saw… many are still habitable and CCMHT has begun to lease and preserve the most important structures. The landscape has grown in since this structure was built to a point where the ocean view is now shrouded by evergreens.
This house still has its wonderful view, ceiling suspended red metal fireplace and a spooky ouija board just inside the expanse of glass that protects the interior from the coastal elements. The living room spans the entire water side of the main living floor with accordion doors in the back that close to create a private bedroom or den. It's also in pretty bad shape, but it's not open and exposed to the wind, rain and salt air. Below the main floor (that also had a wall of kitchen in the back left corner) are additional bedrooms, a bonus room and full bath. I was happy this one was locked up tight.
Yeah, this one not so "locked up tight". The door was wide open and the elements and animals of the forest had certainly made themselves at home here, but you can still see how fabulous living in this structure could be. There were even a few pieces of furniture I would have considered "rescuing" but I'm certain anyone else would have seen my good intentions as "stealing"… So I left those cool little rattan chairs behind for the critters.

the very talented JESSICA HELGERSON
November 22, 2014
So, a friend and fellow designer John De Bastiani posted an image of this sweet little house on his Facebook page the other day and I immediately recognized the bunkroom picture from a shelter magazine… I have loved and coveted this room for a long time. And now, I glad to know who created this beautiful and respectful tiny house, Jessica Helgerson.
With more than 15 years of experience designing residential and commercial interiors Jessica creates interiors that are typically clean and uncluttered. Adept at many styles, she is happy to be guided by her clients' individual needs and tastes as any good decorator is. Jessica likes to start by considering what the best design for the client might be while considering the best design for the building or space. Her goal is to ensure that the fundamental design and the materials are classic, long lasting, and appropriate to the building and its period. She likes to layer on fresh, contemporary elements—such as lighting, furniture, and art—that feel just right for the clients and for the moment. I'm a fan, and if I wasn't a control freak.. I'd hire her to do my next house. Just look at this tiny house she designed!
This little house is where Jessica and her family have been living for the last several years. It sits on a five-acre property on Sauvie Island, an agricultural island on the Columbia River 15 minutes north of Portland.
The house is an interesting experiment in reduction and reuse not only because it is only 540 square feet or because it was remodeled using nearly exclusively reclaimed materials, but because the building itself is now being recycled for the fourth time. It was first built in the early 1940s as part of Vanport Village; a quickly erected development built to house shipyard workers. When Vanport Village flooded in 1948 this particular little house was floated down the river to Sauvie Island, where it became the goose-check station. Years later it was remodeled to become a rental house.
When Jessica and Yianni bought the property in late 2008, they decided to remodel it without adding to the existing footprint. Their first step was to redesign the interior for maximum space efficiency. A 'great room' houses the kitchen, dining room and living room with large, comfortable, built in sofas that double as twin beds for guests. Drawers under the sofas hold children's toys and a wall of shelves houses books and more. The ceiling was opened up in the main space, but the bathroom and bedroom have lower ceilings to accommodate the parent's sleeping loft above, accessible by a walnut ladder. The children's room has two bunk beds as well as a full bed for guests. A pull-out closet makes maximum use of the narrow space near the bunk beds.
New high-efficiency windows come right down to the sofas and offer a fun way for kids and cats to enter and exit the house. The walls were insulated, then faced in reclaimed wood siding, most of which was found on site in one of the barns. The
new floors are local Oregon white oak, and the dining table was made from locally salvaged walnut. The range is a vintage Craigslist find, and the tub was a salvaged from a friend's demolition site. A wood-burning stove easily and efficiently heats the small house.
As part of the remodel, the worn out roof was replaced with a green roof, planted with moss and ferns gathered along the Columbia River Gorge. The green roof offers insulation as well as a playful visual counterpoint to the traditional white cottage.
Despite its size, the house is welcoming and comfortable and nearly every weekend it is full of family and friends coming from Portland to enjoy a day in the countryside. In addition to living in a small footprint, Yianni and Jessica have been working towards food self-sufficiency. Their first year on the property they built a 1200-square-foot green house, planted vegetable gardens, rows of berries, and fruit trees. They are also raising chickens for meat and eggs, keeping bees, and making cheese from the milk of a neighbor's goats and cows.

Interior Eye Candy from Pinterest
November 18, 2013
Ok, Ok… I spend more time on Instagram and Pinterest these days than I do writing blog posts. I'm sorry. In an attempt to satisfy my hunger for interior eye-candy and to share here with you I am combining in today's post.
Here are just some of the images I pinned, or re-pinned today on Pinterest. I'm searching to a commonality, a theme and what stands out to me is a conscious "undesigned" vibe, as if these rooms just happened (they didn't, btw). And, I think they all have a masculine vintage-modern vein to them… something old something new?
I want to label these images, most have some mid-century element but the look ranges from mid-century, 70's loft-style, minimal, and a whole lot more. There is a spare yet eclectic aesthetic that I think I'm responding to. No pattern per-say, earth tones, it's decorating made (to look) easy. I for one have a hard time stopping, I like to just keep adding but I have to say I aspire to less is more. Let me tell you that all these undecorated spaces were thoughtfully stylized, edited and controlled. Theres a big payoff if you can just say no to prints, and all the other bells and whistles available to us all via the design market place.
Let the furniture say what you want the room to say. Invest in quality sofas, chairs and case pieces… and by that I don't mean expensive ( although expensive is often built well, and I wouldn't say no to it). Buy it because it's right, buy it because you love it.
DAY (bed) DREAMING
October 29, 2013
I'm in the market for a day bed. These images reminded me of one I had seen in the pages of Elle Decor. I love the high-sided coziness, the relaxed look… not quite a sofa not really a bed. You get all the guilty pleasure of being in bed, but sitting – or laying – on something that a whole lot nicer than a twin mattress with a few big pillows on it.
This day bed shown in grey and flax are available from West Elm. The upholstered Nailhead Trim Daybed comes in your choice of brushed heathered cotton and is finished with a nailhead trim.78″w x it is 41.3″d x 34.5″h. and has a solid and engineered wood frame. It is recommended for use with Twin Mattress (sold separately). I think I'm going to need a full-sized day bed so I can't buy this one but you should. It's great looking, buy two for a guest room / media room. Here's the one that started this whole thing… pretty right?
Second-Home Dreaming…
October 6, 2013
If I am ever lucky enough to have a second home near the ocean, I promise myself to not overdecorate it.
I swear I will do my best to keep the furnishings simple and clean, understated and comfortable. I'll keep the finishes low sheen and matte, the fabrics soft, light and easy. I won't insist on trendy patterns, I won't use strong trendy colors and I won't make so perfect that it's not easy to relax in.
I vow to keep interesting books on hand for guests and renters, and firewood near the fireplace to cut the chill on cold nights. I will honor the bones of the structure, and celebrate the quirky oddities. I won't remodel with the latest and greatest, I won't insist on marble countertops and stainless steel appliances.
I gladly bear the burden of a single basin in the only bathroom,
and…I'll paint everything white (Simply White – Ben Moore).

Vol. 8 No. 20 WE COVER THE WORLD Monday February 16, 2009
Dateline—Hamburg Exclusive: Former Lufthansa Cargo executive Michael Vorwerk has been appointed President of Cargo Network Services (CNS) as of March 1. By taking the lead at the Miami-based IATA subsidiary the Berlin-born manager will follow Jens Tubbesing who quit CNS in July 2008. Michael gave Air Cargo News FlyingTypers an insight of his plans, motives, and visions in this exclusive interview:
Q: Michael, what especially enticed you to head CNS?
A: To start with let me emphasize that I consider it a great privilege being appointed new CNS President and as an integral part becoming Executive Director for Cargo 2000, the global quality management system under the patronage of IATA. Especially in sluggish economic times with just about every player in the aviation and logistics industry struggling because of strong and gusty head winds this responsibility will not be an easy task. My previous field of activities in forwarding and airline industry is complementing my new duty at CNS. Before joining CNS I was Managing Director and COO of LifeConEx, a joint venture of DHL Global Forwarding and Lufthansa Cargo based in Plantation, Florida. Now, by soon heading CNS I appreciate the chance to broaden my spectrum by promoting comprehensive programs and solutions within CNS and IATA for the entire industry, and not only on behalf of a single company as before. This perspective indeed thrills me quite a bit.
Q: When commencing your job next March what topic ranks on top of your to-do schedule?
A: It is not one single issue that CNS prioritizes but a number of topics that we intend to push forward for further improving the supply chain. Take the aforementioned Cargo 2000 that shippers, forwarders and airlines can benefit from by both saving money and enhancing the quality of shipment flows. The result will be a better product that our industry delivers to the customer. One of the major tasks on our agenda is therefore, to convince more industry partners to embrace Cargo 2000. This we intend to achieve by demonstrating case studies that visualize typical shortcomings along the supply chain and how implementing Cargo 2000 as a tool can avoid them. Irregularities are an unfortunate part of the daily working routine; we need to make them transparent by systematic measuring in order to address them with continuous improvements.
Further we have to put focus on customer requirements, which is, by the way, the central message for the upcoming IATA World Cargo Symposium. Up to now, many supply chain participants are doing a good job in optimizing their own processes, which, however, does not mean, that the sum of these many efforts lead to a perfect transportation chain. Therefore, we have to work on a new collaborative thinking by knitting together the different industrial partners to develop joint solutions. IATA's WCS in Bangkok will be an appropriate forum for discussing this issue and presenting some encouraging quality partnership projects.
Q: Supposedly e-freight ranks high on your agenda as well.
A: It certainly does. In the passenger business IATA was successfully able to drive the implementation of electronic ticketing within a couple of years. Now, in airfreight the implementation of E-Freight will not be easy because of the complexity of the processes and the many players involved. But despite all the challenges we are determined to push this issue ahead because it simplifies the processes, saves money and leads to better results. Generally speaking we have to enhance the automation of the cargo processes. There, I see a wide field for leverage especially in economic downturns like today that inevitably will trigger off new concepts in our industry.
Q: Looking ahead at March 1, your starting day as CNS President. What will be your first task?
A: To participate in IATA's third World Cargo Symposium which begins in Bangkok March 2nd. There, I will be officially introduced, which will give me a good start with the opportunity to meet many important stakeholders from a large group of industry representatives and to learn first hand about more details of the most prevailing industry agenda topics.
A good preparation for me as well for the upcoming CNS Partnership Conference 2009 from May 3-5 in California.

One year later, couple describes Yarmouth propane explosion
Bruce and Rosemary Mackay remember June 25, 2013UPDATED 6:06 PM EDT Jun 25, 2014
Investigators say a propane leak caused an explosion that essentially leveled several homes. WMTW News 8's Paul Merrill reports.Video Transcript
TODAY MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE A MASSIVE EXPLOSION ROCKED A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD IN YARMOUTH. THE BLAST KILLED ONE MAN AND DESTROYED SEVERAL HOMES. WMTW NEWS EIGHT'S PAUL MERRILL HAS A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW NEIGHBORS ARE DOING NOW. áááÑ INVESTIGATORS SAY A PROPANE LEAK CAUSED AN INVESTIGATORS SAY A PROPANE LEAK CAUSED AN EXPLOSION SO POWERFUL THAT BROKE WINDOWS BLOCKS AWAY AND ALL-BUT-LEVELLED SEVERAL HOMES. ONE OF THOSE HOMES WAS THE ONE RIGHT NEXT DOOR. IT BELONGED TO BRUCE AND ROSEMARY MACKAY. THEY'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT THERE WERE DOING JUST AFTER SIX A-M ON JUNE 25TH OF LAST YEAR. BRUCE WAS OUTSIDE GETTING THE PAPER WHEN HE REMEMBERS SEEING A BLAST OF ORANGE, WHITE, AND YELLOW. "Clouds of insulation were in the air, flying. It was like a blizzard in December. Quickly, it disappeared and I looked over and there was no house. The garages were gone." ROSEMARY WAS COMING INTO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE COFFEE. "And then, just all of a sudden, I was lifted way up - way up in to the air." SHE SAYS THINGS SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING IN SLOW MOTION. "Everything was breaking. I looked down over my shoulder and the kitchen counter - the stone of the kitchen counter - was breaking up into small pieces." THE EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE CONDO THAT WAS ADJACENT TO THE MACKAYS'. "I never will forget turning around and seeing that the house next door was totally gone. It was just a hole in the ground and everything was gone." THEIR NEIGHBOR, 66-YEAR-OLD PETER COREY, WAS KILLED. THE MACKAYS SAY THEY COULD HAVE MET THE SAME FATE HAD THEY STAYED IN BED JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER THAT MORNING. "We never found a stick of the big, sleigh bed - king-sized bed - ever." ALMOST EVERYTHING THEY OWNED WAS GONE. "Never in my career have I seen anything like that." DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF RICH KINDELAN SAYS HE WAS AT THE FIRE STATION A FEW BLOCKS AWAY WHEN THE EXPLOSION BLEW OUT WINDOWS AND LEFT CREASES IN THE BAY DOORS. HE SAYS THAT DAY CHANGED THE WAY THE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS TO EXPLOSIONS. "We had made some policy adjustments to make sure that we respond safely to these types of emergencies where there's potential for gas leakage or anything like that." FOR THE MACKAYS, THE LAST YEAR HAS INVOLVED A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. "And your mind would be racing about what happened? How are we going to recover from this? What do we do?" THE MACKAYS GOT THROUGH IT WITH HELP FROM THE COMMUNITY, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND EACH OTHER. "So this has been a difficult year, but, hopefully, we're closing in on getting back to our home, although we don't know when that will be." áááÑ THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THAT HOUSE. THE MACKAYS SAY THEY'VE LIVED IN SEVEN OR EIGHT DIFFERENT PLACES DURING THE PAST YEAR AND ARE EAGER TO GET BACK INTO THEIR OWN HOME AGAIN. LIVE IN THE STUDIO, PAUL MERRILL, WMTW

Has Obama Fulfilled 60% of His Promises?
By President Barack Obama's reckoning, he's fulfilled about 60% of his promises during his first three years in office and needs another five to finish the rest. In fund-raisers this week in California and Colorado, he's repeatedly said that he's keeping track.
"A lot of the things that we promised we'd do, we've done. And I carry around a little checklist, and I think we've gotten about 60% of it done so far," he said Monday in Los Angeles.
"I need another five to get the other 40% done," he said in San Franciso on Tuesday.
The White House has not released the Obama list, but one respected tracker, PolitiFact's "Obameter," finds his record a little less robust.
The Web site counts 508 specific promises from his 2008 campaign and is tracking every one of them. It concludes that he has kept 151 of them, or 30%. It rates another 45 promises as resolving with a compromise. When those are added to the total, Mr. Obama's record goes up to 39%.
The list includes everything from "direct military leaders to end the war in Iraq" (promise kept) and "repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes" (promise broken) to "protect intellectual property abroad" (promise kept) and "require employers to provide seven paid sick days per year" (promise broken).
The Obameter counts 52 promises that have been broken, 68 stalled, 190 in the works and two not yet rated.
Mr. Obama's list may not have all 508 listed. Heck, he may not even remember making 508 promises.
As for the Republican Congress, Politfact counts 57 promises made during the 2010 campaign. It finds nine of them have been kept (or 15% of the total), with one more promise resolved with a compromise (total of 18%). One promise has been broken, the site counts, with five stalled, 14 in the works and 27 not yet rated.

Duluth CurePity Day
On Monday, November 5, the Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare's Duluth Clinic held a celebration to mark its 13th anniversary of offering specialty services to northern Minnesota children and families. To help raise awareness about the Gillette Duluth Clinic and to champion Gillette's CurePity movement, the celebration included a media tour of Duluth print, TV and radio outlets, as well as the Great Lakes Aquarium. Duluth's Mayor Don Ness proclaimed November 5, 2012 as "CurePity Day" in Duluth.
The public and media were invited to the Gillette Duluth Clinic's event program that highlighted the clinic's history and specialty services, a patient family sharing their experiences of services provided at the Gillette Duluth Clinic, an overview of the CurePity movement and a plaque presentation by the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors. After the program, guests enjoyed light refreshments and were invited to sign the CurePity Pledge.
