Perhaps the time has come for Susquehanna Valley Thruway project
February 14, 2013
You can drive from Florida all the way up the East Coast without hitting a traffic light – until you get to Shamokin Dam....
You want to spend $600 Million and you wonder why you're hitting funding blockades?
Seriously though, there are a lot of things to take into account here. For example, how many money will $600 Million spent now save in traffic lights, maintenance, etc in the future? What are the current costs of the road ways involved in this project now vs. what they would be afterward?
Sometimes you do have to spend money to 'make money' or in this case save it. But is there enough justification to do so? Because we ALL KNOW that this just means increased taxes for funding.

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Spring in December? That's exactly what we have been experiencing in recent days across southeastern Wisconsin. Unseasonably warm temperatures and even a few thunderstorms will again pay a visit to our region.
Let's start with at least a passing mention of winter in Milwaukee -- our snowless streak. The streak of consecutive days without measurable snow now stands at 274 including Monday. The current record is 279 set in 1999. If we go snowless through Sunday a new record will be established.
With no snow in the short term forecast the focus is on warm temperatures and the threat of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will climb into the 60s and it may even feel humid with dew points in the low 60s possible too!
The record high in Milwaukee for December 3 is 64 degrees set in 1998. The warm temperatures may be just enough to tie or break this record!
With warm temperatures and a decent amount of moisture in place an advancing cold front should be enough to spark scattered showers and thunderstorms. The RPM computer model forecast puts showers and isolated thunderstorms in southeast Wisconsin by late afternoon and into the evening. Futurecast at 6pm Monday is shown below. The yellow and orange colors indicate a quick downpour, and possibly a thunderstorm. Again don't focus on the exact placement of the rain, but rather that it is scattered across our area with isolated t-storms embedded.
With moisture and lift in place, the question is how much instability will occur to help produce thunderstorms. Low clouds and fog will carry into the afternoon, but could a little sunshine poke through? If sunshine does arrive and temperatures reach the mid to upper 60s, one or two strong thunderstorms may develop.
The Storm Prediction Center as of this writing does not have a specific 'slight risk' outline for our area, but it does place the smallest issued risk area for tornadoes in southeast Wisconsin. The 2% number represents the probability of a tornado within 25 miles of a point. A very low chance.
This small chance is due to low level shear(think winds moving in opposite directions) being present. If thunderstorms develop, there may be a chance of some weak rotation with isolated cell(s). This is why the Storm Prediction Center placed this low risk chance where it did. This forecast will be updated one more time before the threat of showers or isolated t-storms reach southeast Wisconsin after 3pm.
In reality a small chance of a strong wind gust or two seems more likely if any type of severe weather was going to occur today. We will keep close tabs on this throughout the day, but thought this was worth mentioning since it is December when we typically turn out thoughts to snow and cold, not spring weather. Over Illinois where temperatures are warmer(70s) and more sunshine occurs, the threat of stronger storms would seem more reasonable.
The last late season or 'winter' tornado to occur in Wisconsin was 11/27/10 and before that 1/7/08.
With this being such a small possibility, let's focus on the good and take the rain, out yearly deficit is now at over 7.50" in Milwaukee!
By Tuesday cooler(but still mild) weather returns. Winter is still on hold until at least next weekend or beyond.

Have a great day!

Bubbles sometimes form on the paint film that look like blisters. These result from the localized loss of adhesion and lifting of the paint film from the underlying surface.
Lap marks are the appearance of a denser colour or increased gloss where wet and dry layers overlap during paint application.
Mildew can appear on the surface of paint or caulk as black, gray, or brown spots or areas.

Foundation grant to be used to build viewing plaza at renewed LL museum

Having played its first game more than 70 years ago, Little League has built a long and storied histor....
Anyone who thinks Little League is a non-profit organization is sadly mistaken. Futhermore, it is appalling they received a grant.

Furthermore, isn't EVERY kid that plays in the Little League World Series Tournament provided the necessary Equipment? (not sure of the specifics on that, I'm sincerely asking this question)
I do agree that $4Million could buy a lot of kids gear. I would love to see some sort of Athletic Fundraisers, outside of the 'required ones' the leagues actually do, to raise money for kids who need help with sporting equipment, not just baseball either.
I think the Williamsport Red Pop Warner Squads could really use an upgrade in their equipment and their field for instance.

In all fairness, the museum is designed to honor the children who have played here for so many years.

William Huntress is both respected and despised, a real estate developer with a reputation for cutting down trees and in general having his way regardless of the cost.
Huntress may find his newest opponents -- federal prosecutors accusing him of defrauding the government and obstructing justice -- to be his toughest challenge yet.
A seven-count grand jury indictment announced Wednesday charges Huntress and two of his development companies with criminal contempt, making false statements and concealing facts.
The indictment also charges Huntress with violations of the federal Clean Water Act and accuses him of destroying wetlands on property he owns near Transit Road and Millersport Highway.
"It appears justice is catching up to Mr. Bill Huntress," said Ann Suchyna, one of Huntress' critics.
The charges against Huntress carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count, but, under federal sentencing guidelines, he would likely get a much shorter sentence if convicted.
Huntress could not be reached to comment Wednesday, but his attorney was quick to defend his actions at the Transit Road site.
"It's unfortunate," said Huntress attorney Paul J. Cambria Jr. "This is unjustified. This is not the usual EPA case I think of. He did not violate the Clean Water Act."
The charges center around Huntress' development of a 97-acre parcel of land at 10880 Transit Road in Amherst. Cambria said the allegations are based on Huntress' decision to bring top soil to the site so it could again be used as a farm.
The indictment claims Huntress knew the site was made up largely of federal wetlands when he bought it in 2006 and that he nevertheless hired contractors to clear the land for development.
The government also accuses him of building a 25-foot-wide gravel road through the wetlands and arranging for the dumping of fill material at the site.
"In essence, the indictment in this case accuses the three defendants of disregarding the laws created to protect the environment and obstructing the investigation into this conduct," U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. said of Huntress and his companies.

In a nutshell, dogfooding means "using your own product". A product which is being dogfooded tends to be a lot more polished. When a normal user is annoyed by the product, they can't do anything about it. But when a developer is annoyed by the product, they can stop what they are doing and make the product less annoying.
In the past I've always dogfooded new builds for a while before making them

Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Not here to talk about how awful life is for the Cub fan right now.
It's a day off, lets talk about flip flops - this'll make Cubs sense later.
They have an underdog kind of history, flip flops, especially in the midwest.
When I came to Chicago in the 80's, people didn't wear flops except in the shower.
There were sandals, sure, but sandals have that Jesus thing going on.
The real midwestern flip flop in the 80's was a hideous boat shoe called the Sperry Topsider, leather and sometimes with tassels - like little cardigan sweaters for the feet.
They made me feel silly so...I went with flops.
The kind from Walgreen's that come in all colors.
I'd get about 6 pairs for a grand total of about 10 bucks, last all summer long.
Especially fabulous in the bleachers at Wrigley, where staying cool is a must and the beer spillage is rampant.
You can just hose 'em off after.
They've come a long way since then.
Fashionable even.
Found my favorite kind about 5 years ago at a surf shop in Kona: Reefs.
I still have 'em.
I've got a pretty big collection now, including the sporty "Fannings" with the super cool beer bottle opener on the bottom (which surprisingly I've never used).
Okay, back to the White Sox, the flops, and the point of this little chat.
If I'm going to Wrigley and I put on a pair of flops, I can look at my sock drawer and say, "Fuck the socks."
And I do, every time.
Say that out loud right now.
Awesome, right?
Tim Souers is the illustrator and author of Cubby Blue and appreciates the opportunity to guest blog here at The Cub Reporter.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I don't think it's very hygienic to place your beer bottle up against the bottom of your footwear. That's just me. (Keen slide-in sandals wearer.)
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Nice artwork again. What are you using, watercolors and black ink?
I have to admit, I dislike flipflops anywhere but at the beach or the locker room.
When I was seven I was chasing my brother around my grandparents house in stockinged feet. I slipped and busted my lip open on an end table in my grandfather's den. All the way to the hospital the only thing I would say around my crying was 'NO MORE SOX! NO MORE SOX!'
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Obviously you have not used the bathroom facilites at Wrigley because you do not want to be wearing flip flops in there.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Yeah, I go full hip-length waders in there.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
No shame in wearing Depends to Wrigley.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I don't quite get the flip-flop Cub connection, but I am wearing a pair of "Reefs" as I write. I love 'em.
But, as Jacos says, I personally would not wear them into Wrigley's men's rooms at any time.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
BTW - very nice art. Thanks for the "contribute".

Ozzie strikes! After the Brewers series...
Everytime I go to Wrigley I puke...

Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
This will be a good series for one team or the other to turn their shit around. I have zero optimism about the Cubs right now, but I'm not sure Sox fans feel a whole lot better.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I still have 'em.
Who's shooting bullets at your feet, and why?
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
The Cubs have been shooting themselves in the foot a lot recently. Do these flip-flops come with cleats?
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
I wonder what the asking price on DeRosa is at this point? Apparently Billy Beane kicked the tires recently.
Even if Chavez's rehab goes well, Oakland is likely to find other help at third. The A's made a call on Cleveland utilityman Mark DeRosa, who is available, but the team believes the asking price is probably too high for a player who is in the final year of a deal. DeRosa might be a consideration this offseason
Off Day
Looks like the Iowa Cubs are streaming on the internet and maybe even have video if you're so inclined. Having a little trouble getting the audio though.
Speaking of Iowa - amazing but true department. Jake "The Hammer" Fox went two for five last night with a triple, and managed to lower both his batting average and slugging percentage.
Re: Off Day
Somehow, I cannot imagine Jake "The Hammer" hitting a triple.
Someone must have fallen down.
Re: Off Day
Keep in mind that in the PCL guys like The Hammer and Dubois are allowed to patrol the outfields.

Other minor league stuff...
Kyle Burke leads all of professional baseball with 27 doubles...he was the bounty for Michael Barrett in 2007.
Cubs 5th round pick Wesley Darvill has signed.
and I think this was mentioned, but Doug Deeds demoted to Tennesee, Brandon Guyer and Todd Blackford demoted to Daytona (Blackford was acquird for Todd Hollandsworth once upon a time).
Re: Other minor league stuff...
we still have someone in our system from the holly trade? yeesh...
Re: Other minor league stuff...
The Cubs got two pitchers in the deal: Angelo Burrows and Blackford. Burrows struggled mightily in 2006 and was released, after which he went on to Independent leagues. Blackford didn't fair well his first couple years in the Cubs system, but he finally put it together in 2008 going 7-1 with a 2.40 ERA for Daytona. He just turned 24 last week, and is 6'4" 205, but he is running out of time, especially since he struggled to start the season at the next (AA) level.
I should also note that Justin Berg was acquired just two days prior to Blackford from the Yankees for Matt Lawton.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
okay...i'll go ahead and bite. wtf is the cartoon about?
it reminds me of andy warhol's early work for Life magazine, but beyond that i can't find a commentary or joke in there.
-edit- okay, i just read the writeup under it...i dunno how i missed it the first few times. i blame the "new" button on the posts, the liberal media, and P.C. thugs. muh bad.
Some scouties take on the Cubs...
One veteran scout claims if he were turning in a report for the White Sox about the Cubs, he would write across the front: "Hurry."
As in, hurry and get there before all those veteran Cubs wake up.
Re: Some scouties take on the Cubs...
I would write:
"As a general rule, just pitch a damn breaking ball low and away out of the zone. They'll swing.
Trust me."
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Steve Stone flames Jim Hendry on Chicago Tribune Live tonight: "Kenny Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed, no-trade offer to a DH who happens to be playing left field for the Chicago Cubs right now....". Only slightly out of context. He smoked other contracts the Cubs are currently burdened with, and again brings up St. Kenny as the Patron Of The Good Contract. (I had hoped his ax was ground all the way down since he started rooming with Hawk. Guess he still sees red when Jim Hendry is the subject.)
Then he makes an appearance on WGN Sports Central (!), and during an interview with Crane Kenney, he and Kap try to pin Kenney down on the flexibility Hendry might have for a mid-season deal. Kaplan brings up DeRosa specifically, and Kenney replied (paraphrasing somewhat) "DeRo is in the last year of his deal, he makes what, $2.5 million? That would probably be considered a small deal that we might be able to fit in this year's numbers." (10 minutes later, DeRo hits an RBI double for all you young fans who miss him.) So maybe the Cubs will be able to get someone in the last year of a deal, not making much. So who's a free-agent-to-be, not making a ton of money, that could help and not cost much in the way of players?
It was pointed out earlier that Will Carroll of BP spoke to the real severity of Jake Peavy's injury. Stone said the ankle is bound to at least bother him when he comes back in September and make him a less effective hurler.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
steve stone...that guy sure does have opinions.
my favorite recent-memory steve stone moment barely involves him. len/bob have a studio area and before it was finished it was a bare-wall area with a hung-crooked autograph picture of steve stone on a thumbtack hanging on the wall.
i'd love to know what's behind that, who hung it, and why len/bob left it there until they completed their studio renovation.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Stoney is a little over-the-top on that comment. Soriano isn't the most graceful outfielder in the world, but the league has a number of far worse fielders and he'll age in the same mold as Jr. I have no problem with Soriano in LF for several more years. Anyways, that's what big-market teams do. Rather, I sense some lingering resentment from Stoney.
On the larger point of Hendry giving some irresponsible contracts out, I guess I can agree with that. All those NTC reduce the flexibility of the team. Of course the team won two pennants in a row and I guess that's a nice accomplishment, but it's easy to forget seeing as how they have a 0-6 playoff record the last two years.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
Expounding on Hendry's roster moves in the offseason, he mentions that the Cubs "shipped Jason Marquis and $800,000 to Colorado for a pitcher they knew they were going to release, and by the way Jason Marquis is tied for the league lead with 8 wins....Marquis a guy Lou Piniella didn't want on the team, and who lives a block away from Jason and walks to the park with him every day - Mark DeRosa, who is traded to Cleveland for three pitchers who may help you down the road, but certainly will not help this season." Again paraphrasing only slightly, but I don't quite understand why Stoney would imply that since DeRosa was Marquis' buddy, he needs to go too.
He went on about DeRosa's stats, his 44 RBI (added to tonight against the Brewers), and "if you can count, and I know you can, that's more than Derrek Lee and Milton Bradley combined." His partner on the telecast, Frank Thomas, laughed out loud several times - as if he's a disciple of Kenny Williams now too.
I really don't buy into the whole "gotta beat the Sox - gotta beat the Cubs" mentality. It makes me sick to see kids running around in "Cubs Suck" or "Sox Suck" shirts. Too bad the media doesn't feel the same way. (Then again they make money with it.)
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
If you had been sentenced to sit next that old flatulent verbal mastubatorb who tells the same story of how he invented the batting glove(he didn't) and how good Yaz's cock taste you would be bitter against your former employer too.
Stone is probably still hurt the Cubs picked Merker and Dusty over him and he's probably right, but for all his baseball insight he still shills like a carney you can find at any country fair this summer.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
stone can't be a manager. the #1 thing a manager needs is for the people he's trying to manage to actually listen to and respect them. steve stone can barely command the respect of his peers in baseball, much less lead men.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in - more
"Comment of the Week" goes to jacos.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
"Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed"
Of course the Sox would not have the money to make that offer.
Might as well say the Royals would not make that deal either.
I still believe that Peavy would have came to Sox if they guaranteed the final year, and Uncle Jer shot it down.
Re: Stone Pony weighs in
Kenny Williams would never make an 8-year, guaranteed, no-trade offer to a DH who happens to be playing left field for the Chicago Cubs right now
Yea... instead he will trade for a worse version in Jim Thome.
And if Stoney thinks that Soriano is a DH, then he has lost any baseball acumen that he once had.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
Tribe up 8-6 on Brewers in bottom of 5th in a game that has almost reached barn burner status.
Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
"I like Gerald's approach, but if you step out of line, he gets you back quickly," Thomas said. "Von was more fundamentals. We clashed at first because his fundamental style was different from what I was taught by [former Sox hitting coach]Walt Hrniak, but we worked it out. He's a real professional and a good guy. But it will take a few weeks. They'll go backward a little before they go forward." Asked about the Cubs' hitting problems, especially regarding Alfonso Soriano, Thomas said he considers Soriano a prototypical fifth hitter.
"I've always loved him as a hitter, but I would never have had him in the leadoff spot," Thomas said. "The guy can drive in runs. Put him in the five hole." Thomas called the crosstown series one that brings a new level of intensity.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano

OPS since May 1st....
Lee - .976, Johnson .908, Theriot . 785, Soto - .756, Bradley . 747, Fontenot .678, Fukudome .670, Soriano - .636
the scrubs
Hill - .620, Hoff - .682 (TRADE LEE!!!!)
Reed's done most of his damage versus lefties and Theriot's OPS is all thanks to the homer binge, so I have no fucking clue what to actually do with the lineup. You can rearrange it anyway you want right now and it's not gonna score anymore runs.
.485 OPS for Soriano since getting punked on the WWE...Neifi! would be an improvement.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
ah, the great game of 30-40% success...closer to that 30% for most of MLB. go batting.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
Oh, I know that crunch. But it seems like the whole Soriano-bats-leadoff thing bothers you more than anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I think it's dumb, but Soriano is our leadoff hitter and I'm resigned to that.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
with the lack of solid power up the middle it bugged me.
once aram went down and added to it it really bugged me.
as soriano approached his .310 and below ob% it bugged me more.
at this point (and for the past week+) i see no point having him leadoff.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
I say bench 'em all, let God sort em out.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
"Natural Selection" for the Darwinists in the crowd. Not Barney, either.
Re: Frank Thomas on hitting coaches and Soriano
fox, fuld, clevenger, scales, taguchi, and mark johnson will get us to the playoffs. time for some wholesale changes here!
dubois would be a hell of a leadoff hitter, too.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
A 6-run, 8th inning for the Brew?! What the Fuck?!!
I am jealous!
I am pissed!
Oh, Luis Vizciano, who some of you point to as a great loss, started the inning with two straight walks, and then was removed.
And the Brew come from behind by 4 runs late to get the W.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
DeRosa hit his 12th HR...sigh.
Brewers bullpen
M. DiFelice 1.0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0.86 1.40 T. Coffey (W, 2-1) 1.1 0 0 0 0 2 0 1.19 2.48 M. Stetter (H, 13) 0.2 0 0 0 0 2 0 0.97 2.91 T. Hoffman (S, 16) 1.0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.65 0.45
WHIP and ERA are the last two columns...talk about lucking into a good bullpen.
Re: Brewers bullpen
I am extremely annoyed by this.
Re: Brewers bullpen
I was thinking about this as I watched the game. I thought, gee, how come the Cubs couldn't get those guys off the scrap heap, then flashed on the luck factor. Hoffman was the most fortunate selection of all (and we'll see how he holds up in August), but the history of middle relievers and specialists in the game seems to be when they are on, they are on, and you have to have the lucky timing to get these guys on your club. Cotts flashed brilliance at the right time for the Sox, crapped out at the wrong time for the Cubs. Milwaukee flashed on at least three of them and it's all falling into place.
I also kept thinking that the Cubs could very well snap out of it facing the likes of Pavano, Vizcaino and whoever the skinny lefty was this weekend. Hopefully the snap-out comes three games earlier.
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
What exactly is a "Cubs Insider" column? This reads like Jim Hendry's wife wrote it--> http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/16239...
Re: Here Come The Sox, Time To Get Out The Flip Flops
But financial resources or not, Hendry's biggest move as the trading deadline nears might be to stand pat.
I ran this through my P.R. translator machine and it said:
We might not need to make a move, though, with ownership issues all f***ed up we wouldn't be able to even if we needed to.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Do you have the time?
MyHeritage has the time - a TimeLine and a TimeBook.
Not sure what these are? Read on for quick descriptions and video links to provide more information. I'm focusing on TimeLine in this post.
Timeline is an interactive feature demonstrating the relationship of history's main events to your family's important dates.
This is an important feature because each person's unique family history has always been impacted by worldwide historical events that caused very local effects.
One example might be an early 19th-century cholera epidemic, quite common at the time around the world and frequently fatal for young children and the elderly. Such epidemics may be responsible for many deaths noticed in historical vital records.
And, while regional and world wars covered a wide swath of territory, local events may have "encouraged" your ancestors to move somewhere less chaotic and more safe.
To truly understand the lives of our ancestors, we need to learn about historical events that may have effected them.
When I began my quest, I noticed that my great-grandmother's brother, Chatzkel Bank, had arrived in New York City in January 1913 and began working to bring over his wife, son and infant daughter. Continue reading "Do you have the time?" »

Last-Minute Tax Tips for Small Businesses
SCE Federal Credit Union Provides Tax Tips for Small Business OwnersMar 01, 2012 | Business
Tax season is here again, and small business owners often struggle to not only file properly to avoid audits, but also to work the tax code to their advantage. Despite all of the planning that takes place ahead of time throughout the year, Tax Day can still cause stress.
To help prepare for the April 15 deadline, here are some last-minute tips to keep in mind:
Get your records in order
This is one thing many small businesses fail to do and should be done throughout the year, not just last-minute. Keep a log of expenses and receipts, and keep it all in order. Doing this will not only streamline the process, but it can also save you time.
Understand your deductions
Know what deductions are available to you as a small business owner, and know what you need in order to prove them. Again, record-keeping is huge, and ALWAYS keep original receipts.
Avoid audit traps
Use helpful tools and programs
If preparing your taxes yourself, you may want to use programs like QuickBooks or websites like TurboTax.com to help cut down on time, frustration and errors. These programs can help you calculate income, expenses and credits, and will keep your information on file for future reference. Keep in mind that if you're not completely up to speed on the tax codes, it might be best to pay someone who is.
Use the correct forms & double-check everything
Make sure you have all of the correct forms and that they are filled out correctly. IRS.gov offers small business owners a special section on filing and paying taxes, with helpful tips and forms.
Even if you're using a computer program or website to file, always double-check your return before sending it. Some common errors to avoid include:
If you're afraid you won't make the deadline and you file your taxes as an individual, you can request a 6-month extension using Form 4868, the Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File a US Individual Income Tax Return. But keep in mind that an extension only grants extra time for filing the return, not for paying taxes that might be due.
So what happens if you've completed your return but can't pay the money you owe?
The IRS says you shouldn't file for an extension. Instead, file your return on time and pay what you are able. The IRS will send you a bill for the balance, and will "charge interest and penalties only on the unpaid balance," according to IRS.gov.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 07/10/14 -- Six Apart, international provider of blogging software, has acquired 601am, a Denver-based design and development firm that has long served as a Six Apart support and services partner. Six Apart is joining forces with 601am to encourage mutual growth and to offer customers a broader range of solutions for building websites.
The two companies have an extended history of working closely together. Now, Six Apart has stepped forward to purchase 601am and take this partnership to the next level. 601am will continue to operate independently, with an influx of funds and resources for sustainable growth. This acquisition will have a number of long-term benefits for Six Apart, 601am and their clients.
Previously, Six Apart had limited contact with customers after sales and licensing, and would often commission 601am for accompanying service and support. Now that the companies are directly connected, Six Apart can provide clients with a robust package, covering the entire lifecycle of a website -- from purchase to construction to maintenance.
"Our main goal is finding the best way to serve our customers," said Nobuhiro Seki, President and CEO of Six Apart. "We are confident that acquiring 601am will help us build an in-house team with unprecedented product experience, so we can deliver everything our clients need. This includes services that go beyond Six Apart offerings as well. If a project demands working across competitors' platforms, we now have the capabilities to do so."
601am will continue to support other publishing software, including Drupal, Wordpress and Expression Engine, so it will be valuable for those customers who require cross-platform integration across large legacy enterprise environments. By acquiring 601am, Six Apart is greatly expanding its knowledge base and its ability to offer one-of-a-kind solutions for any individual or organization building a website.
Tighter collaboration between the software engineers at Six Apart and the developers at 601am will help both sides improve their products and services. By joining the people who create the software with the people who build websites using it, Six Apart can receive customer input at all stages of implementation. Additionally, 601am can provide insight on competitors' platforms. This will create a feedback loop that allows the product development teams to respond with cross-platform offerings to fit clients' needs.
This acquisition will also give Six Apart a Denver presence, providing access to a thriving technology and start-up scene full of potential partners and talent. Having a Denver office also puts Six Apart in an optimal position to adequately service West Coast clients.

Hi Satya,
From what I understood your error is given because you are trying to allocate ports below 1024 (on UNIX, only root is allowed to do so) and as adm who is trying to do this, you are getting the error.
Try to move your port allocation to numbers above 1024 and see if it works. If possible to leave the collectors with the default ports, it's better.
I did not see any entry for the port 1024.
Thanks and Regards
Can you provide the values of the following parameters on your system:
Please find the values
rslg/collect_daemon/listen_port 39
E:rslg/collect_daemon/listen_port is smaller than default 1400
rslg/collect_daemon/talk_port 40

Hi Satya,
As I told you at the beggining of the thread, the problem is that your ports are smaller than 1024 and you cannot bind this ports on UNIX without being root or giving special authorization. Please try to change the parameter to these ports to be greater than 1024.
rslg/collect_daemon/listen_port 10039
rslg/collect_daemon/talk_port 10040
rslg/send_daemon/listen_port 10037

Hi Maurício
I tried to enter the values more than 1024 in 2 to 3 combination but system is not coming up after changing.

One of the most common symptoms that lead patients with multiple myeloma to first seek medical attention is bone pain. This pain is caused by the destruction of bone material induced by myeloma cells within the center of the bone. The bones can then become weak and eventually result in small or more substantial fractures most commonly within the spine or ribs. Fortunately, there are now medications that can limit this process. In addition, other treatments such as radiation therapy or new surgical procedures such as kyphoplasty can alleviate or even correct some of these complications.
One might think that there would be evolutionary pressure to produce bones as strong as possible. This is not the case nor is it in your body's best interest. While it is important to have bones strong enough to not break during normal activities, it is not in one's interest to have bones so heavy that limbs become inefficient to move. To accomplish this balance, the body somehow senses the shocks and stresses transmitted throughout the bones and lays down new bone matrix material in areas that are structurally stressed, and dissolves away material in areas which are not needed. This is why it is very important for patients with multiple myeloma to keep active. The stresses incurred by even seemingly non-strenuous activities such as walking, can keep the bones of the legs and spine strong. As an example, astronauts returning from the space station have been found to lose significant bone mass due to prolonged weightlessness. The first astronaut to Mars will likely be taking a bisphosphonate on the way! One can see that prolonged bed rest could also induce similar reductions in bone mass.
If one looks inside the femur, the largest bone in your leg, you can see a strong outer shell with a scaffolding matrix in the middle. The outer portion of the bone is called the bone cortex, while the center of the bone is called cancellous bone. It is in the center of the large bones of the body where blood cells are produced. This area is called the bone marrow. This is where normal plasma cells reside and, consequently, where the malignant version (myeloma cells) also prefers to grow. The smaller bones of the hands and feet do not have bone marrow; hence patients with multiple myeloma typically do not develop fractures or bone lesions in these areas.
The cells within the bone marrow that are responsible for bone remodeling are called osteoblasts (the cells that produce bone material) and osteoclasts (the cells which dissolve bone). In patients with multiple myeloma, the osteoclasts are overactive. The myeloma cells secrete hormones that can stimulate the osteoclasts to break down bone inappropriately. One of these hormones produced by myeloma cells is called RANK Ligand. It attaches to a receptor called RANK on the surface of the osteoclast and stimulates its activation. In addition, other hormones (also called cytokines) are overproduced in the multiple myeloma environment such as IL-6 and TNF. These cytokines may also indirectly stimulate osteoclast overactivity. This is why areas of increased bone breakdown (lesions or lucencies on X-rays) often occur in the regions where myeloma cell proliferation is particularly prominent. When osteoclastic activity is severe, the bone in that area can become weak and calcium (present within the bone matrix) comes out of the bone and into the bloodstream. That is why multiple myeloma patients can have hypercalcemia (high calcium blood levels) when their disease is not well controlled. The pattern of bone involvement differs from patient to patient. Some patients have multiple myeloma diffusely spread throughout their bone marrow. These patients may not have individually identifiable lesions on X-ray but are instead noted to have diffuse osteoporosis (thinning of the bone). Other patients will have discrete collections of tumor cells in their bones that result in what looks like holes on X-ray. One of the problems with multiple myeloma is that the bones do not readily repair these holes even when the multiple myeloma is controlled. This is because the osteoblasts don't rush in to repair these areas of weakness for unknown reasons. It should be remembered that a lesion on X-ray does not mean that there is multiple myeloma still present in this spot. The myeloma cells could have been destroyed by treatment such as radiation but the bone just hasn't filled in the weakened area.
Fortunately, there are now new treatments for multiple myeloma bone disease which have made skeletal related complications such as fractures less common. Treatment of the myeloma itself is one of the most effective ways of controlling further bone breakdown. Often patients at diagnosis will be discovered to have hypercalcemia. With successful treatment, the calcium levels often fall, indicative of less calcium release from resorbed bone. As this occurs, the patient's pain often improves as well. It is likely that much of the pain experienced by multiple myeloma patients comes from some of the cytokines and inflammation that exists around these nests of tumor cells within the bone marrow.
Another important treatment for multiple myeloma directly attacks the overacting osteoclasts. Bisphosphonates are a class of drug known to suppress osteoclastic activity. The initial studies completed in multiple myeloma used relatively weak agents such as etidronate and clodronate. In the Canadian study involving etidronate, 166 patients were randomized to etidronate (5 mg/kg) or placebo in addition to primary chemotherapy with melphalan and prednisone. No significant difference in clinically meaningful events such as new fractures, hypercalcemic episodes and bone pain were noted between the two arms. Clodronate is an oral agent, available in Canada and Europe, which has shown some beneficial effects in multiple myeloma. Treated patients developed less hypercalcemia and non-vertebral fractures. However, back pain and poor performance status were not significantly different between the two groups except at one time point (24 months) and the proportion of patients requiring radiotherapy was similar between the two arms. Similar studies suggest that oral clodronate has a mild to modest beneficial effect on bone pain and fracture development in multiple myeloma. It should be noted that Fosamax (alendronate) and Actonel (risedronate) oral bisphosphonates useful in the treatment of osteoporosis, have not been studied in multiple myeloma. The doses of drug needed to impede bone breakdown in multiple myeloma is significantly higher than that needed for osteoporosis treatment. This is demonstrated by the fact that a recent study showed a single 5mg dose of Zometa per year may be sufficient treatment for osteoporosis.
The first bisphosphonate demonstrated to reduce the bony complications in multiple myeloma patients was pamidronate (Aredia). A randomized trial was performed in which 377 patients with Durie-Salmon Stage III multiple myeloma received either Aredia or placebo (salt water infusion). The proportion of myeloma patients having a skeletal complication (fracture, need for radiation, hypercalcemia, spinal cord compression) was 41% in patients receiving placebo but only 24% in pamidronate-treated patients (p<0.001). In addition, the number of skeletal events/yr was cut approximately in half in those patients treated with pamidronate (p<0.001). The patients randomized to receive pamidronate also had significant decreases in bone pain, and, in contrast to patients receiving the placebo, showed no deterioration in performance status and quality of life at the end of nine months. These benefits continued for the remaining twelve months of the study. In fact, although overall survival was not significantly different between the two treatment groups, the median survival time for the patients with more advanced disease was 21 months if they received pamidronate vs. 14 months for those on the placebo arm (p=0.47).
After this study was completed most patients with bony lesions and multiple myeloma began treatment with Aredia. Recently, a newer more potent agent, zoledronic acid (Zometa) has become available. This drug was noted in animal models to be 100-800 times as potent on a mg per mg basis. This led to a trial comparing Aredia to Zometa in the treatment of hypercalcemia. Zometa was approved for use because a dose of 4 or 8 mg corrected hypercalcemia ~90% of the time vs. only 70% of the time with 90 mg of Aredia. Subsequently, a large randomized trial was performed comparing Zometa to Aredia in patients with multiple myeloma and breast cancer. This was done to see if Zometa was at least as effective as Aredia at preventing the bony complications that these patients develop. The final results demonstrated that the zoledronic acid was at least as effective at preventing bony complications as Aredia in multiple myeloma and slightly more effective than Aredia for patients with breast cancer.
The bisphosphonates are relatively safe drugs. They can cause a flu-like illness and even exacerbate bone pain the first couple of times they are received. All bisphosphonates can cause kidney problems (usually reversible) if given too quickly intravenously. In the above trial, Zometa was given at two different doses (8 mg and 4 mg) each over 5 minutes (compared to the 120 minute infusion time for Aredia). It was then discovered that at this rapid infusion time, some patients receiving Zometa developed kidney damage particularly when the higher dose was used. Because of this, all patients randomized to receive Zometa, received the lower 4mg dose and over a longer period of time (15 minutes). After this modification, the incidence of kidney problems with Zometa matched that seen for patients receiving Aredia. At the present time, either of these drugs (Aredia or Zometa) can be used to prevent bone problems. Zometa is more convenient since it takes only 15 minutes to give versus 120 minutes for Aredia. Since it is likely that these drugs prevent bone disease from getting worse (by impeding osteoclasts), but do not necessarily reverse damage already done, these drugs work best as a preventative treatment. Although never definitively proven in a long-term study, most patients with multiple myeloma and bone disease should receive these medications indefinitely with careful monitoring of kidney function. In addition, it has never been proven that patients with earlier stages of multiple myeloma require treatment with a bisphosphonate. My practice, however, is to treat most patients with these drugs since they work best as preventative treatment, and because there is also laboratory evidence that these drugs can kill myeloma cells in the culture dish. Furthermore, reducing osteoclast numbers and activity by bisphosphonate administration may indirectly slow myeloma cell growth since the osteoclast is the greatest producer of IL-6 in the body and IL-6 is the primary growth factor for the myeloma cell.
Several new agents are under development, the most promising being a synthetic homologue to the naturally occurring osteoclast inhibitor (OPG). This drug AMG-162 has been given to patients with multiple myeloma and appears to be safe and inhibit bone resorption at least comparable to that achieved with pamidronate. Comparative phase III trials are being formulated right now and should start shortly.
Finally, a new procedure has been developed which can help patients who have already developed fractures within the spine causing chronic pain. Unlike fractures elsewhere in the body, once a vertebrae collapses it will never regain its normal height and shape. Many times, this is not a major problem. Patients will lose some height and may lean forward (due to kyphosis of the spine) but eventually, the pain will resolve. Unfortunately, some patients will develop chronic pain due to the non-healing vertebral fracture. If the offending vertebrae can be identified and the collapse is not too severe, a balloon can be inflated into the vertebrae and filled with cement. This procedure is called a kyphoplasty and is being done by more and more orthopaedists. Although not always successful, the procedure itself is relatively safe requiring only an overnight stay in the hospital and can often achieve instant pain relief in suffering patients with vertebral compression fractures of the lower spine.

A Customer's tale about Sophie the Giraffe
We are so pleased with Sophie the Giraffe and just don't know what we ever did without her. Sophie has become all our daughter Mazie wants to chew on, and with the tiny limbs and soft material of Sophie, she is so easy for her to latch onto. Mazie absolutely LOVES this toy. She laughs and giggles each time she makes the little Giraffe squeak - it's a joy to watch her constantly smile at it. Such a simple thing, yet little Sophie has quickly become one of our daughter's favorite toys since she was 3 months old. We finally purchased a second Sophie to live in my purse, and in a moment's notice, I can pull her out as a wonderful distraction for my now 23 month old. Sophie the Giraffe can hold her attention for an unbelievable amount of time. We're so pleased to have found such a perfect toy.

Every baby loves Sophie the Giraffe
Sophie the Giraffe has recently received more public attention with her "appearance" in the Globe & Mail (Canada). Not only popular for her wonderful non-toxic, baby-safe nature, Sophie is simply a joyful little creature that any baby would be thrilled to have. Babies across Canada are loving this soothing little friend!
"This toy is like candy for Babies" by Shawna Wagman (excerpts from special to Globe & Mail)
Her skinny neck has been clasped in the chubby, slippery fists of French babies since 1961. Her bumpy head and flexible feet have soothed millions of sore little gums. You might say she's become Hollywood's most homely It Girl. She's a 17-centimetre rubber giraffe named Sophie. And she's coming to a drooling Canadian kid near you...
...Aside from making a happy little squeak when squeezed, the spotted giraffe does little more than stare blankly, smile sweetly and smell faintly of vanilla. So what makes Sophie such a phenomenon?
Entrepreneurial mom Jane Wood says part of the appeal is its retro look. She was living in Britain when she first met Sophie. Her fourth child got it as a gift from friends who were visiting France, where, she discovered, the toy is legendary. "Over there, it's a standard thing," Wood says. "If you have a baby, you have a Sophie."

Great alternative for teething Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality
We got this as a gift and my daughter didn't pay much attention to it when we first got it. However, now that she is a little older and her 2 yr molars are coming in, she has started chewing on things again, and it is nice to be able to give her Sophie the Giraffe to chew on instead of the other, less appropriate, things she tries to chew, like books, etc. However, we try to refer to the toy as only "Giraffe" because she has a cousin named Sophie and if we say, go get Sophie to chew on, she looks at us a little strangely! :) (Posted on 1/2/11)
Best teething toy Review by Cassandra
Price Value Quality
Over $20, but well worth it. My son loves his Sophie. Whenever he grinds his teeth, we give him Sophie and he goes to town chewing her legs, horns, neck, etc. It is great to have so many places to chew. She is easy to clean, unlike some of the cloth variations of teethers. (Posted on 1/2/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Great teething toy! Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
Our son started teething at 3 months and the hard, cold teething rings did not work for him. We received this toy as a gift and it is just fabulous as a teether. It's soft and flexible enough for him to manipulate on his own, and because of the thin legs and neck he was able to get his little hands around it and hold it himself. He just loves his Sophie - while it's quite pricey, I now understand why it's so popular! A great gift for someone or as an addition to your own infant's toy box. (Posted on 1/4/11)
Daughter loved it Review by Mariko
Price Value Quality
My daughter loved this toy as soon as I took it out of the packaging. It is easy for her to hold and a nice change from all her wooden teethers. At first I thought it was a bit expensive but it is worth it because she loves it so much. The only thing that slightly bothered me is that b/c it is a squeaky toy so if put in a bath with the baby it will take in water which is usually not a problem but b/c of where the hole is it is difficult to get the water out so the toy leaks for a while after wards. So as long as you don't put it in the bath it is a perfect toy. (Posted on 1/1/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

The perfect baby gift! Review by CINDY

My little guy is 6 months old and he just got this for Christmas. This is by far his favourite teething toy. He can manipulate it easily even with developing motor skills, and it is lightweight in his hands. He chews on the ears and legs and just plain loves it! It is more than worth the cost - just make sure your doggie doesn't steal it! It does squeak and so my Mom's dog was eying it. :P (Posted on 1/3/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend?

I-COM achieved a fully optimised rebranded website for Accessoryo, transforming the design for modern technologies without diminishing our original appeal, in a highly professional and organised manner.
Through concrete research, I-COM fulfilled a customer research campaign that enabled shoppers to provide feedback, and implemented this information to revamp the website, resulting in a cleaner, sleeker and easy to navigate site.
Safe to say we are very happy!
A rebranded website that focused on user experience to transform the design without diminishing its original appeal. A customer campaign that enabled shoppers to provide feedback, with this information used to revamp the website and make it cleaner, sleeker and easier to use.
Our work with Accessoryo resulted in branding that better reflects its customers' personalities. Our design team took on board the suggestions of respondents to create a website that not only looks great and has a more grown-up feel, but simplifies browsing and improves the overall shopping experience.
It was shown that while younger customers enjoyed the bright and colourful feel of the previous site, the majority of respondents - made up of the 21 to 40 demographic - wanted a more grown up, simple, layout.
Our design and development teams placed a greater emphasis on responsive design to modernise the site and make it more compatible with various devices. Recommended products and related-item functions have been added, enabling customers to discover items and accessories that are better suited to their tastes.
Currently operating in Manchester, Accessoryo is an online fashion accessories store that focuses on its traditional aesthetic of urban luxe. The company was founded in 2008 and aims to emphasise the importance of individual and distinguished pieces that make the wearer stand out from the crowd.
