According to the Surveying and Mapping Law of the People's Republic of China, private surveying and mapping activities are illegal in mainland China.
China's state media has released a news article about illegal mapping efforts as a threat to national security. The article also mentions news which had been announced before, that any foreigner collecting geographical data without permission will be "severely punished".
- March 7, 2007 - Unlawful surveys to be dealt severely
- March 25, 2008 - China cracks down on illegal online map services to protect state security
- January 6, 2009 - China fines UK students for 'illegal map-making'
- May 19, 2010 - China goes after illegal online maps
This seems to outlaw the entire OSM project, and any participation or contribution. Presumably the government wouldn't go to the hassle of pursuing criminals who have contributed data so far. Especially in Xinjiang, Tibet and near sensitive facilities, the law may be actively enforced however.
See also: Restrictions on geographic data in China on Wikipedia
中国行政区划/Administrative divisions of China
The administrative division is quite strict in China and the importance and size of a place is almost entirely determined by its administrative level. The general OSM classification (with just city, town, village), however, is not really sufficient to reflect these levels. In order to reflect the Chinese administrative division better a separate tag is used to denote this: china_class=*. The classification for places, in addition to and not replacing the standard OSM tagging, (with hopefully self-explanatory names) is:
- china_class=provincialcapital
- china_class=prefecturalcapital
- china_class=countytown
- china_class=zhen
- china_class=xiang
- china_class=village
省级行政区/Province level
boundary=administrative + admin_level=4
地级行政区/Prefecture level
boundary=administrative + admin_level=5
|17 Prefecture (地区; dìqū)— These were formerly the dominant second-level division, which is why this administrative level is often called "prefecture-level". However, they were replaced for the most part by prefecture-level cities from 1983 to the 1990s. Today, prefectures exist mostly in Xinjiang and Tibet Use place=city
|30 Autonomous Prefectures (自治州; zīzhìzhōu)— Are prefectures with one or more designated ethnic minorities. These are mostly to be found in China's western regions. Use place=city
|283 Prefecture-level Cities]] (地级市; dìjíshì)— It form the vast majority of prefecture-level divisions. Prefecture-level cities are generally composed of an urban center and surrounding rural areas much larger than the urban core, and thus are not "cities" but municipal in the strict sense of the term. Use place=city
|3 Leagues (盟; méng)— are effectively the same as prefectures, but they are to be found only in Inner Mongolia. Like prefectures, leagues have mostly been replaced with prefecture-level cities. The unique name is a holdover from earlier forms of administration in Mongolia. Use place=city
县级行政区/County level
boundary=administrative + admin_level=6 +
|1,464 Counties (县; xiàn)— are the most common county-level subjects. Counties have continuously existed since the Warring States Period, much earlier than any other level of government in China. In Sinology literature, xian are often translated as "districts" or "prefectures". Use place=town|
|117 Autonomous Counties (自治县; zìzhìxiàn)— are counties with one or more designated ethnic minorities. These are analogous to autonomous regions (at the province-level) and autonomous prefectures (at the prefecture-level). Use place=town|
|374 County-level cities (县级市; xiànjíshì)— are, like prefecture-level cities, not "cities" in the traditional sense of the word, since they are actually large administrative regions that cover both urban and rural areas. It was popular for counties to become county-level cities in the 1990s, though this has since been halted.
|852 Districts (市辖区; shìxiáqū)— another type of county-level division. These were formerly the subdivisions of urban areas, consisting of built-up areas only. In recent years, however, many counties have been converted into districts, so that today districts are often just like counties, with towns, villages, and farmland. Use place=suburb
|49 Banners (旗; qí)— which are the same as counties except in name. The name is a holdover from earlier forms of administration in Mongolia. Use place=town|
|3 Autonomous Banners (自治旗; zìzhìqí)— which are the same autonomous counties except in name. The name is a holdover from earlier forms of administration in Mongolia. + place=town|
|1 Forestry Areas (林区; línqū)— a special county-level subject forestry district currently there is only one forestry area (Shennongjia) located in Hubei province.
|2 Special Districts (特区; tèqū)— another special county-level subject exclusively located in Guizhou province.
乡级行政区/Township level
boundary=administrative + admin_level=8
|14,677 Townships (乡; xiāng)— in smaller rural areas division they are divided into this subject. Use place=town
|Ethnic Townships (民族乡; mínzúxiāng)— in a small one or more designated ethnic minorities rural areas division they are divided into this subject. Use place=town
|19,522 Towns (镇; zhèn)— in larger rural areas division they are divided into this subject Use place=town
|6,152 Subdistricts (街道办事处; jiēdàobànshìchù)— in a small urban areas division they are divided into this subject
|11 District Public Offices (区公所; qūgōngsuǒ)— are a vestigial level of government. These once represented an extra level of government between the county- and township-levels. Today there are very few of these remaining and they are gradually being phased out.
|181 Sumus (苏木; sūmù)— are the same as townships, but are unique to Inner Mongolia. Use place=town
|1 Ethnic Sumus (民族苏木; mínzúsūmù)— are the same as ethnic townships, but are unique to Inner Mongolia. Use place=town
村级自治组织/Village level
boundary=administrative + admin_level=10
|80,717 Neighborhood Committees (社区居民委员会; jūmínwěiyuánhùi)
|Neighborhoods / Communities (社区; shèqū)
|623,669 Village Committees / Village groups ((村民委员会 / 村民小组; cūnmínwěiyuánhùi / cūnmínxiǎozǔ). Use place=village
|Administrative Villages (行政村; xíngzhèngcūn) Use place=village
|Natural Villages (自然村; zìráncūn) Use place=village
|City-Type Neighborhood (居民区; jūmínqū)
|City-Type Communities (社区; shèqū)
Name tagging
Road Types
NOTE: This classification is considered too vague. Please talk about it in its talk page.
Road classification refers to relative importance in a region, not to the construction quality of the road or number of lanes (except in the case of expressways). Big city standards should not be applied in rural areas.
- G routes - Guodao (国道), or China National Highways.
- Use highway=motorway for G class expressways (高速公路) with white on green traffic signs, whose number contains 2 or 4 digits, i.e. routes of China National Expressway Network (中国国家高速公路网). See the list here.
- Use highway=trunk for G class highways not superceded by expressways. See the list here.
- Use highway=primary for G class normal access highways that superceded by expressways, but still important for local or regional traffic. See the list here.
- Use highway=secondary for G class highways that have been superceded by expressways but now have little traffic and probably in a poor state of maintenance.
- S routes - Shengdao (省道), or provincial highways.
- Use highway=motorway for S class expressways (高速公路) with white on green traffic signs, whose number contains 2 or 4 digits.
- Use highway=primary for important S class normal access highways connecting major regional cities/towns or provide them access to other major G or S class highways.
- Use highway=secondary for S class normal access highways connecting minor towns.
- X routes - Xiandao (县道), or county-level highways (probably unsigned; if unsure, follow the conventions for other roads).
- Y routes - Xiangdao (乡道), or township-level highways (probably unsigned; if unsure, follow the conventions for other roads).
- Use highway=tertiary for Y class ways when these are the more important roads between the smallest townships.
- Use highway=unclassified for other Y class ways. Switch to highway=residential in portions where the traffic flow is expected to be heavily affected by pepole/vehicles entering/leaving residential/commercial/industrial buildings along the road.
- C routes - Cundao (村道), or village-level highways (probably unsigned; if unsure, follow the conventions for other roads).
- Use highway=unclassified for C class ways. Switch to highway=residential in portions where the traffic flow is expected to be heavily affected by pepole entering/leaving residential/commercial/industrial buildings along the road.
- Other unnumbered highways/roads usable by motor vehicles:
- Use highway=motorway for highways named Expressway (高速公路 or 高速) with white on green traffic signs.
- Use highway=trunk + motorroad=yes for urban expressways (城市快速路), which are roads, elevated roads or underground roads normally inside city areas that resemble expressways, but without Expressway in their names, mainly for rapid move inside city area. Traffic signs used on this kind of road can either be white on green or white on blue.
- City roads: roads/streets inside build-up areas, or has been built/rebuilt according to future city/town plans:
- In major cities, use highway=primary for ring roads, through-city routes and major routes for entering/leaving the city, with majority of traffic flow being through traffic. Only use it for arterial routes of significant importance with heavy traffic -- don't use it on every major street!
- Use highway=secondary for major city roads not categorized as highway=primary, linking major areas.
- In case that a road is supposed to be primary or secondary, but with even poorer condition than minor roads in the same area, use highway=tertiary.
- For feeder roads around blocks that collect most of the local traffic and act as the "bones" of local road netowrk, use highway=tertiary.
- For narrow public roads inside a community (typically in the width of 1 or 2 lanes and in most cases no dedicated bicycle lane) with little through traffic, use highway=residential.
- For other public city roads, use highway=unclassified. Switch to highway=residential in portions where the traffic flow is expected to be heavily affected by pepole entering/leaving residential/commercial/industrial buildings along the road.
- Portions of G and S routes inside cities/towns should normally follow their respective tag usage. For X, Y and C routes that has become de facto city roads as defined above, just treat them as city roads.
- Use highway=service for roads:
- inside a gated area (factories, gated communities, gated school/university campuses, ...), or simply with controllable barriers (gates, lift gates, etc., but not customs checkpoints or toll gates) at all of its exits, or
- only connect to other highway=service, or
- directly connected to the entrances of a line of building(s) and often with only one lane, which is supposed to merely provide access to these entrances, or
- almost serve no purpose other than provide access to a building or a gated area.
- Use highway=unclassified for other paved roads. Switch to highway=residential in portions where the traffic flow is expected to be heavily affected by pepole entering/leaving residential/commercial/industrial buildings along the road.
- Use highway=track for other unpaved roads.
- For dual-carriage motor vehicle only highways/roads with at least 2 lanes in each direction, which are similar to expressways, but with a small number of level intersections and white on blue traffic signs (may be informally referred to as 'quasi-expressways' or 'semi-expressways'), add motorroad=yes.
- Roads/paths not supposed to be used by motor vehicles
- Bike lanes
- If the bike lane is part of the road, just separated by a lane marking, add cycleway=lane.
- If the bike lane is separated from the road by an unmoveable barrier, such as a garden section or other non-passable obstruction, the preferred way is to map it as a separate highway=cycleway that runs alongside the road. However, adding cycleway=track to the road is acceptable if the actual location of the bike lane cannot be determined.
Not all addresses will be easy to fit in the OSM standard tags, below is a suggested way. If in doubt, use addr:full. For detailed reference see the addr key page.
Urban address with street name
Rural address, no street name
Generics in Chinese
When one of the following is present in a name, it is customary to translate them when using name:en, instead of just using Pinyin without accents, e.g. 天安门广场 becomes Tiananmen Square, not Tiananmenguangchang. In case English literature uses a different transliteration, this should prevail.

MapWorld Imagery
MapWorld Services (in Chinese)
MapWorld Imagery at zoom levels 16-18 may be used as a reference or confirmation for Bing Aerial/Mapbox Satellite. This is a state-run service and the only service in China where Web Mercator Projection is provided.
天地图的航拍影像16-18级和Bing Aerial/Mapbox Satellite可以互为参照.这是国营的地图服务,也是唯一一个可以以墨卡托投影的服务.
Usage 用法
- In JOSM(recommended), open "imagery preference" and add a TMS layer with the following url:
- Or in iD, click "customizing backgroud" and enter the same excluding the prefix
tms[18]. That will cause empty tiles beyond the level 18, which is not convenient to do some precise edition, and that is why JOSM or other editor can restrict the zoom level is recommended.
GNS Place names data
A load of place name nodes were added to China by User 'dkt'. They are tagged (created_by=dkt_GNS-import-1) and were imported from GEOnet Names Server.
Rendering of Chinese place names seems to be working fine now in both Mapnik, after font issues were resolved, and Osmarender (where the suitable fonts are installed on the client that renders a part of the map).
The GNS data was extracted using some PHP code...
The China data file (ch.txt) was used as the source, only a small subset of the data was extracted as much of the data has not yet been updated with Chinese, the GNS Feature Classification (FC) of A was used as this data appeared the most complete as far as names are concerned at the time of extract.
Of records with an FC of A the data was further filtered to only include records with a Name Type (NT) of Conventional name (C), BGN Standard name (N), BGN Standard name in non-Roman script (NS) or alternatively Variant name in non-Roman script (VS), but only if the Language Code (LC) is not blank, English (eng) or Chinese (zho) on VS records.
With the data left, all records for a specific 'feature', based on the Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) were read to gather all available name data.
For records with an NT of C if the LC was eng, the English name was extracted. For records with an NT of N, the Pinyin name was extracted. For records with an NT of NS if the LC was zho, the Chinese name was extracted along with the descriptive portion of the name (GENERIC).
In addition, the UFI, the Unique Name Identifier (UNI), the Latitude (LAT), the Longitude (LON), the Feature Designation Code (DSG), the First-order administrative division code (ADM1) were extracted.
Once all data was extracted for a particular UFI the OSM place type was worked out for the feature based on either the GENERIC if available or the last word in a Pinyin name... The mapping was as follows...
With all data together, nodes were written as follows...
<node id='<unique negative id>' timestamp='2008-01-30T03:16:47+01:00' action='create' lat='<LAT>' lon='<LON>'> <tag k='created_by' v='dkt_GNS-import-1' /> <tag k='place' v='<mapped type>' /> <tag k='gns:UFI' v='<UFI>' /> <tag k='gns:UNI' v='<UNI>' /> <tag k='gns:DSG' v='<DSG>' /> <tag k='gns:ADM1' v='<ADM1>' /> <tag k='name' v='<Chinese name if available, or Pinyin name if available, otherwise no tag>' /> <tag k='name:zh' v='<Chinese name if available, otherwise no tag>' /> <tag k='name:zh_pinyin' v='<Pinyin name if available, always with tones, otherwise no tag' /> <tag k='name:en' v='<English name if available, otherwise no tag' /> </node>
The final OSM xml file was uploaded using the bulk upload tool...
The code used for this extract is pretty basic and is pretty specific to the job of importing Chinese name data, but, if you want a copy it is available on request... Dtucny 05:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
AND数据/AND data
The AND Data recently donated to the project, is mainly focussed on the Netherlands but included some road network coverage of China (just major roads) Kleptog prepared a preview of the data. He imported the India data (Feb 2008) but it was decided not to import the China data for a few reasons...
1) The data is obsolete. The data appeared to be largely Vmap0 data from the mid-90s, as of 1993 there were virtually no Expressways in China, now there are more than 60000 km of Expressways, 30000km of this in the past 5 years alone... Last year a total of 423000km of rural roads were built or upgraded... The end result is that due to the amazing pace of development going on in China this data from the mid-90s doesn't come close to representing the reality of the road network today...
2) There is no information on any of the roads in the network beyond type, which, combined with the age of the data makes it difficult to identify which current road, if any, the data may have once represented...
3) The low resolution and general poor accuracy of the data would need to be heavily improved, however, the above two problems make that virtually impossible...
There is administrative boundary information in the AND data which would be useful to be imported.
There is water information in the AND data that needs further review but could be useful to be imported.

Mastiffs thought to have killed caretakerPosted Saturday, August 4, 2007, at 9:11 AM
Is this the summer for dangerous dogs, or am I just noticing it?
The results aren't in yet, as of Saturday morning, August 4, but news reports seem to indicate that two bull mastiffs owned by Mission Impossible actor Ving Rhames may have killed the caretaker of Rhames' estate while the actor was on location for another film.
This news follows closely on the previous dogfighting stories involving Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vic. The dogs involved in the Vic scandal were pit bulls, a breed which is being increasingly banned in cities across the United States, despite opposition by groups such as the Humane Society of the United States, which warns that Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is not an effective way of dealing with the problem of dangerous dogs.
"Protecting residents from dangerous dogs is a noble goal and one that communities across the country are wrestling with," says Stephanie Shain, director of outreach for HSUS's Companion Animal Section. "But communities that have banned specific breeds have discovered that it has not been the easy answer they thought it would be. Dangerous dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and breed bans just don't effectively address the issue."
Shain points out that breed bans punish responsible pet owners, while having no effect on irresponsible owners, who will just move onto another dangerous breed.
Many communities have found that "dog bite" legislation and public education have been more successful in combating the problem of dangerous dogs.
"Legislation aimed at punishing the owner of the dog rather than punishing the dog is far more effective in reducing the number of dog bites and attacks," says Shain.
Meanwhile, an autopsy is being scheduled on the dead caretaker, whose name has not yet been revealed, to see if he died of the dog bites - or if he had a heart attack.
As for myself, I have no doubt that if two 135-pound bull mastiffs came at me, I would probably have a heart attack before they even established contact.
Right or wrong, Saturday morning's horrific news report will undoubtedly spur more communities to enact breed-specific legislation.

I know that a lot of people like dogs, my daughter for one she has 3, but one never knows how they will act, a friend had a doverman raised if from a pup but one day he came home and the dog attacked mim. I was a mail man and I never trusted any of them not even the so called friendly ones, not even my daughters.

My folks had a Pekingese that weighed only a few pounds. He looked oh so cute and cuddly. But when a person would go to pet the little critter he would secure their hand in a Vulcan Death Grip! His teeth were like a vampires fangs so he left scars!
Once I saw an oblivious gas station attendant put his hand through the partially opened window to pet what he called the "cute little dog." His fleshy fingers were just to inviting. The danged dog clamped down on his hand and wouldn't let go! The guy was screaming and the window wasn't rolled down enough for him to pull his hand and the dog through! After what probably seemed like an eternity to the attendant, the little devil must have figured it had proved its point and let go.
I have no doubt the dog could have killed a young child without even breathing hard! I'll let other people worry about Mastiffs and Pit Bulls, what I want to know is when are the flesh eating Pekingese going to be outlawed!
(P.S. To any young people unfamiliar with the term "gas station attendant," there was a time, long long ago, before the days of the Blackberry and text messaging, when a person would come up to your window at a gas station and ask you: "Fill er' up?" The person would then proceed to put gas in your car. That isn't all. I know this is somewhat hard to believe, but they would also wash your windshield and check your oil. And you didn't even have to tip them!)

Hahaha! They'll just think you're making it up, FJGuy!
In fact, I find it hard to believe myself!

Too true, FJGuy. I once had a German Shepard that road with me in the car. He was the friendliest of dogs. However, when I stopped at the gas station I always made sure his window was rolled all the way up because he would have taken a bite out of the attendant. He was very protective of me when I was alone. Back then it made me feel safe. Now I'd still feel safe, but I'd worry about a law suit. My dogs now couldn't reach an open window without a ladder.
I think it's the owners rather than the dogs. I've known dobies and rottweilers that were big sissies and pekingese and toy poodles that were man-killers. I much prefer the idea of legislation on dogs that bite rather than breed specific laws. Make the owners more responsible for the dog's actions. After all, I did roll up the car window.
That raises another point - what idiot sticks his hand in a car to a strange dog? People need to be at least a little bit educated about animals and animal behavior. Don't automatically let your kid go walking up to an unfamiliar dog (or cat or bird or horse, etc.) assuming it will react pleasantly. Even a pretty parrot in a cage can give a nasty bite. Don't automatically assume that the dog was responsible for every bite case. It might have been like the fool that climbed into the bear's cage at the zoo and then complained because the bear mauled him. Was that the bear's fault?

It was on the net news yesterday that the caretaker did NOT die from dog bites. They were too superficial & they weren't any on his head and neck which I read is quite common in fatal dog maulings.Of course he may have had an underlying heart ailment that caused him to infarct.They are now waiting for tox results(no CSI or Law & Order labs were available to expedite the results).
Thank goodness Ving didn't own yellow labs,with their ninja like stealth and voracious appetites,there wouldn't been anything left to identify of the poor soul.

I think that the owner is part of the problem in most cases, however there are some breed specific dogs that are quite capable of killing a human and others that more than likely can inflict damage but not likely fatal damage. There are some dogs that when they bite their jaws lock and you can't pry them off. This would not be good on ones neck. Why would you want or need a dog with those kind of traits?

Hi guys,
So I was looking over the guns that Mike and others have had engraved over the years and I was thinking of getting my Dm8 laser engraved to help hide some of the scratches along the body(picture below shows degree of scratches).
I was wondering, because I am very well versed in Photoshop, what file format would you like the engraving design to be in when I come to you guys with my gun?

The laser machine needs to have the files in an .ai form, aka Illustrator files. But if you have a design or graphic in photoshop Issacc can do the conversion for you. Some may take more work then others based on the pattern and the design you create.
Thanks for the continued support.

Atlanta boys beat Posen in overtime
By JAMES
News Sports Editor
POSEN-The Atlanta boys basketball team found the best solution to make amends for an overtime loss.
A thrilling overtime win.
Garrett Badgero scored 34 points and the Huskies topped Posen 68-64 in overtime on Tuesday at Posen High School in a North Star League contest on Tuesday.
Taylor Juergens hit a shot with two seconds left in regulation to force overtime and Badgero scored eight points in the extra period as the Huskies (4-11, 4-8 NSL) outscored the Vikings 10-6.
The win made up for a disappointing 73-72 overtime loss for the Huskies on Monday against Johannesburg-Lewiston.
"This is a big win for us. We're trying to get a winning streak going heading into districts and this is one for the whole team," Badgero said. "It shows that we can overcome when we lose, so we just wanted to come out here and try and get a win."
Posen (6-8, 4-7 NSL) led 51-42 with 5:47 left in regulation, but Atlanta clawed back and narrowed the gap to four with 3:38 left before Lucas Litwinski drilled a wide-open triple to put Posen up 54-47.
With his team running out of time, Badgero went to work, scoring nine points in the last three minutes of the fourth quarter including a 6-of-9 clip from the free-throw line.
"There's no question in my mind that Atlanta played their hearts out; they played hard. Posen played their hearts out and we played hard. No excuses, you just have to play a little harder to beat a team like Atlanta," Posen coach Steve Hentkowski said. "We've got to know where Badgero is. He's their main threat and he was on fire tonight.
Badgero led off overtime with a trey and Posen's Brandon Dietz answered back with a bucket, but from there the game belonged to Atlanta. Badgero was 4-of-8 from the line in overtime and Posen battled foul trouble. Litwinski hit a three-pointer with 37 seconds left to cut Atlanta's lead to one, 65-64, but he fouled out immediately after and Nick Hincka soon followed.
Both teams struggled to stay out of foul trouble down the stretch in a game that saw more than 40 fouls called and a few Atlanta players foul out as well.
Hincka and Martin Mulka led Posen with 15 points each.
The first half saw inconsistent play from both teams, though the Vikings erased a seven-point deficit in the first quarter to take a 14-12 lead at the end of the period.
Posen held a 30-25 halftime lead.
Despite missing several floaters to open the second half, Atlanta started the period on an 8-0 run to take a 33-30 lead which was punctuated by a triple from Badgero.
At the end of the first quarter, Atlanta coach Ryan Marlatt told his team that someone needed to take charge.
Enter Badgero, who scored 32 points from the second quarter onward.
"I'm the only senior on the team, so they (my teammates) listen to me, so I just try and get work done," Badgero said.
Out of a 35-all tie with 2:58 left in the third quarter, Posen built a 40-35 lead, but Atlanta battled back and by the end of the period, the Vikings led by only two, 42-40.
Hincka led Posen's charge early in the fourth quarter helping the Vikings take a 48-40 lead in the first minute and eventually a 51-42 lead.
Slowly but surely the Huskies clawed back to contend for the lead and a Badgero triple with nine seconds left cut the Vikings' lead to one, 57-56. After a free throw from Mulka, Juergens found himself open on the left and hit the tying shot.
Juergens added 11 points for the Huskies and Jake Chambers chipped in with eight.
Posen's JV team topped Atlanta 36-29. Evan Schuch led Posen with 14 points and Matt Wisniewski added 12. Joey Gross led Atlanta with 16 points.
ATLANTA (68): Chambers 3 2-4 8; Barrett 3 3-6 10; Badgero 9 12-19 24; Juergens 4 2-2 11; Dobbyn 2 3-4 11.
POSEN (64): Mulka 3 8-11 15; Dietz 3 3-6 9; Zaborney 1 0-1 2; Sharpe 1 5-6 8; Hincka 4 7-9 15; Beach 2 0-1 4; Litwinski 3 0-0 9; Kwiecien 1 0-0 2.

Editor Obsession: The Perfect Cheese Board
A design love story
I really love this cheese board. It's a simple cheese board and compared to bolder party platters it might seem a little plain, but I see perfectly elegant edges and a classic design that would make me want to serve endless cheese at every occasion.
This cheese board is currently missing from my kitchen. I haven't purchased it yet (I don't know when one indulges in such an item for $58), but it waits patiently in my online "shopping basket" and I'm always really relieved to know that it hasn't sold out.
I'm very aware that the world has all kinds of cheese boards—even slate ones with chalk where you can artfully label the Camembert, but I can't imagine why anyone would go looking for anything more.
Do you share my love for this perfect cheese board? Do you have any random design obsessions that you'd like to share?

In today's NFL, to have a truly great offense, you need great wide receivers. Period.
They are the soul-crushers of a defense and the chess pieces for offensive coordinators to make or break each week. They're game-changers. They're playmakers. They're the guys for whom your defensive coordinator stays up all night scheming, trying to find a way to shut down a 6'5", 230-pound nightmare with 4.4 speed.
In the 2014 draft class, there is a lot to like at wide receiver: speed, size, a little of both, a lot of both and everything in between. The best receiver in this class isn't 5'9" and a player for whom you must scheme touches.
No, the best players in this class demand the ball. They go for it.
What do scouts want from a wide receiver? Speed—a lot of it—but also the strength to outposition defenders for the ball. They want that Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones build. They want Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery going up to high-point the ball. They want Dez Bryant's strength before and after the catch. They want A.J. Green's route running.
Want to scout receivers? Our "How to Scout" series breaks it all down.
But if you just want to sit back and enjoy great football, these 10 wide receivers in the draft are a fine place to start.

Slow metabolism? Get it in gear with these diet and exercise tips.
Convinced your slow metabolism is derailing your best weight-loss efforts? You may be right. Whether or not you�ve been officially diagnosed with a condition of the thyroid�the gland that regulates the T3 and T4 hormones affecting your metabolism�those hormones could be working against you, says Dr. Ridha Arem, an endocrinologist and author of The Thyroid Solution Diet: Boost Your Sluggish Metabolism to Lose Weight.
RELATED: Metabolism-Slowing Culprits
�Even if the thyroid function is normal, when a person becomes overweight, the T3 hormone becomes more and more inefficient doing its job,� Arem says. �That will lead to a self-perpetuating cycle of weight gain.�
If you suspect a thyroid problem, ask your doctor to check the levels of your T3 and T4 hormones. But anyone who thinks they suffer from slow metabolism can benefit from Arem�s tips for keeping your body�s weight-related hormones running smoothly.
1. Start your day with egg whites and low-fat cheese. �They have specific proteins that are very helpful for balancing ghrelin,� a hormone that triggers hunger and spikes in the morning, says Arem.
2. Don�t eat soy more than three times a week. It contains two proteins that can interfere with thyroid function and slow metabolism. But don�t cut it out entirely, as it helps build muscle.
3. Exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes. �People think the purpose of exercise is to burn extra calories, but the immediate effect is to boost metabolism,� Arem says. �You reach that peak effect about 20-30 minutes into your workout,� and then it lasts for at least several hours.
4. Filter your tap water. Tributyltin (TBT), a fungicide that can disrupt hormone production, and other pesticides can enter the water supply. Most won�t cause problems in the short-term, but long-term exposure can affect your endocrine system. To be safe, use a carbon filter.
5. Cook your veggies. Several vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, kale and cauliflower, can slow metabolism if eaten raw in very large quantities. If they make up a large part of your diet (and they should!) make sure to consume at least some cooked.
6. Get 8 hours a sleep at night. No excuses�you should devote as much attention to good sleep you do to diet and exercise, Arem says, because it�s crucial to keeping your weight-loss hormones stable. If you�re suffering from chronic sleep problems, see a specialist ASAP.
7. Make time to relax. Stress hormones can wreak havoc and slow metabolism. You won�t get anywhere, Arem says, if you don�t truly prioritize relaxation, whether it�s yoga or another group exercise class, meditation or regular massages.
8. Serve up fish for supper. It�s packed with lysine, which fights stress and promotes fat burning�perfect for your last meal of the day.
9. Eat 4-5 times a day, at the same times each day. Have your meals and snacks on schedule to keep your hormones balanced and your metabolism efficient.
10. Buy organic when you can. Essential antioxidants are sometimes lost in processing non-organic foods. �It�s only one of the many factors�and the priority is the structure of the eating plan�but any time we can buy organic, we should,� Arem says.
RELATED: Foods to Boost Your Metabolism � � � � �
11. Work out in the evenings if possible. �I think exercise probably has the same benefit whenever you do it, but it also has a relaxing effect that is good for sleep,� Arem says.
12. Check your medications. Common prescriptions for diabetes, asthma, autoimmune disorders and depression can sometimes slow metabolism. Don�t stop taking anything until you�ve talked to your doctor, but he or she may be able to prescribe an alternative.
13. Sip on a detoxifying smoothie. Arem swears by a blend of citrus, strawberries, greens and garlic.
14. Eat raw fennel every morning. Chock-full of antioxidants, the bulb can also suppress your appetite and help you digest your breakfast.
15. Take a high-quality multivitamin, plus calcium, magnesium, omega-3s and probiotics daily. �The way the food industry works, many times antioxidants get lost in processing, so I am a believer in taking a well-balanced mix to make sure you�re getting what you need,� Arem says.
16. Save fruits and beans for earlier meals. Make dinner your meal with the lowest glycemic load and the highest amount of protein to avoid an insulin spike overnight. (More insulin signals your body to store fat.)
17. If you have to choose between a workout and sleep, go for sleep. Do everything you can to get those 30 minutes of exercise in, but on busy days when one or the other has to go, getting adequate sleep is more important, Arem says.

Today, Secretary Clinton reflected on the life and legacy of Senator Robert Byrd. The Secretary said:
"Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd.
"Senator Byrd was a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility. And I will remember him for many things, but most of all for a heartfelt comment he made to me in the dark days following the attack on our country on 9/11. My state of New York was reeling and we were scrambling to provide support and relief. 'Think of me as the third senator from New York,' he said. And he meant it. Thanks to the leadership of Senator Byrd, who chaired the Appropriations Committee, New Yorkers and Americans got the help we needed. I will never forget his devotion and his friendship in that critical time.
"It is almost impossible to imagine the United States Senate without Robert Byrd. He was not just its longest serving member, he was its heart, its soul, and its historian. From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom. I admired his tireless advocacy for his West Virginia constituents, his fierce defense of the Constitution and the traditions of the Senate, and his passion for a government that improves the lives of the people it serves.
"As Secretary of State, I continued to rely on his advice and counsel. I've been grateful for the support he provided as a leader of the Appropriations Committee to our diplomats and development workers as they serve our country and advance our interests all over the world.
"Robert C. Byrd led by the power of his example, and he made all of us who had the honor of serving as his colleagues better public servants and better citizens. After more than five decades of service, he left an indelible imprint on the Senate, on West Virginia, and on our nation. We will not see his like again.
"I am heartened to know that Senator Byrd is now reunited with his beloved Erma, the high-school sweetheart who became his wife of nearly 70 years, the love and light of his life. My thoughts and prayers are with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Robert C. Byrd left such a legacy."
Palgye in South Korea writes:
Mourn to Senator Byrd.
(I like to go to the United States. By mobilizing all the way. A reflection of past and approached them from behind is always laughing even officially rejected and discard at the end of their greed, as I think everyone should act. Today, I am sad to apply anywhere else to leave. I deeply sympathize with them standing by now to have any realistic calculation would've been like,
Is difficulty, To live in Korea ......)
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
June 29 2010
May the Honorable Senator Mr. Robert Byrd rest in peace, I always thought he was a smart person but looking at his history, the people of West Virginia should be thankful for all the pork they received from the United States people. How in the world did so many projects get approved in the United States Senate for West Virginia, obviously Mr. Byrd was a clever guy. Maybe the US Government can finish the highway he started to remember Mr. Byrds passing. This would create jobs. Now he can spend time with his friend Mr. Ted Kennedy in another place in time. Our prayers are with him and his family. A legend of many years.
21 Gun Salute
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
As a West Virginian whose only seator has been Steenator Byrd it is appretiated that others feel he has always strived to make the whole US a better place and the secretary realizes what a great man the US has lost not just WV.

The United States welcomes the establishment of the World Press Freedom Day 2011 website, and hopes that individuals around the world take time to reflect upon and discuss the important role a free press has in open, democratic societies and aspirants. All of us benefit from the incredible sacrifices journalists and citizen reporters make in the quest for freedom of expression.
We look forward to hosting World Press Freedom Day 2011 in Washington, DC, working with our partners: the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Center for International Media Assistance at the National Endowment for Democracy, IREX, and the United Nations Foundation. This year'' World Press Freedom Day focuses on the theme 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers.
Throughout the Middle East, people are courageously shaking off decades of heavily restrictive government controls. New media and the Internet have provided a long sought public space for media professionals, citizens, and opposition groups to report information and news, exchange views, and organize their supporters.
Compelling ideas are infectious. They always have been. Today, immediate and widespread access to information allows ideas to circulate virally. It empowers people to participate in the public lives of their countries. It equalizes voices.
The Internet has made it possible to reach more people in more places. But it has also shifted power and influence to such an extent that it is necessary to engage with a much wider spectrum of public voices worldwide.
So we, at the Department of State, are doing everything we can to connect with people -- all 6.8 billion of them -- to create a new environment that will better ensure the stability and security of our country, our region, and our world. We take this mission very seriously. We recognize that government-to-government diplomacy by itself is no longer enough. From Secretary Clinton on down, we are embracing new media and new technologies as vital tools to reach people at all levels. New media and connective technologies also enhance our ability to listen. That is the number one improvement to our 21st century public diplomacy toolkit.
Anyone with a mobile phone or an Internet connection has the ability to communicate with us. This feedback is an incredibly valuable resource -- whether the feedback is positive or negative -- because it allows us to better understand how our actions and decisions are being interpreted by people and governments around the world. Our challenge now is to incorporate constructive criticism from these new voices into our decision-making, and to build response mechanisms as a limited number of diplomatic interlocutors engage with a much larger number of public voices.
New media support our commitment to accessibility, transparency, and the free flow of information. They allow us to pursue our shared goals in dialogue and partnership. And with serious effort on our part, they help us build good will and connections directly between people.
We view these weeks leading up to World Press Freedom Day 2011 as an opportunity to celebrate the fundamental principles of a free press, to discuss how changes in the media affect how we engage with the world, to analyze, evaluate, and elevate the status of press freedom worldwide, paying tribute to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom of expression and assembly on and off-line. We look forward to hearing from you.

Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
"Press freedom" is quite a contradiction in our country, when the Pentagon has journalists on its payroll, the DoD is supplying scriptwriters with movie plots favorable to federal authority, and Eschelon wiretaps world-wide communications as other agencies wiretap all US communications with government approval.
Under a new White House plan, the Homeland Security Department will have far-reaching oversight over all civilian agency computer networks. The language in the White House bill is "vague" about what kind of role DHS will play.
The bill states that owners and operators of critical infrastructure shall develop cybersecurity measures, and a senior accountable official must sign and attest to their implementation. The bill adds that document must remain on file and available for review, inspection and evaluations by third-party evaluators.
Other than micro-managing the news, and now government intrusion into the internet, how does an internet "kill switch" figure in your concept of press freedom?
Does the new White House-written legislation include Chinese-style censorship of blogs, news outlets, and reader comments?
The private sector has responsibility for its own cybersecurity - anti-virus programs were first developed in the private sector, not by government employees.
So what is the REAL purpose behind this White House bill? Could it be...censoring the news?
If not, what is written in the bill to stop Homeland Security from becoming America's first news censor?
Susan C. in Florida writes:
@ Zharkov in the U.S.A....Homeland security will not be the first censor of the press/news. The corporations/big money are already doing this. Try listening to corporate owned ABC, CBS and NBC. And now PBS, in my area of Florida, is being shut down due to lack of, guess what!? Money, of course. I get better, more informative, news from the BBC in the UK about what is going on in our country and around the world. Do we have a free press anymore? I would like to know, because if we don't than you know that we are no longer "free" and the Bill of Rights doesn't mean very much anymore. This scares me, how about you?

I tried to follow TXCraig's guideline but my ingredients are different and responding differently. What does your last sentence mean?Nate
Can they be reballed again and put into the fridge or are these doughballs shot?
So I baked it up and I was surprised how much sourdough I tasted in the crust. A little overwelming actually for me. Could this be because of the way the dough fermented?
.....then that is an incredibly active starter.....
The flour you are using has malt in it. It could very well be why the dough got away from you and over proofed. Craig uses Caputo which has no malt. Malt is just powdered sugar and a catalyst for fermentation. Add in the higher hydration and things go pretty quickly.Even so, if your dough is more than doubling after 20 hours with 1.3% of flour, then that is an incredibly active starter. Are you positive you had the amount correct in the formula?John

China Trip Planning—Is this Trip Right for You?
Most westerners travel to China only once in their lifetime. China Spree want to ensure you have all the resources in planning your dream vacation. Please read the following information regarding the level of activity you can expect, your physical requirements, trip destination information, tour pacing and meal arrangements specific to this China trip.
Climate & Terrain:
Read more about the climate of cities on this China tour.
China Visa Required:
U.S. and Canadian citizens traveling to China must have a valid passport and a visa obtained prior to entering the country. Please read Passport & China Visa for the complete information including answers to ALL your questions about VISA to China. Download China Visa Instructions.
Flight Schedule:
This China cruise tour package comprises of air travel segments using commercial flights with airlines, such as Air China. This is NOT a chartered flight and therefore the passage contract and your air tickets, once issued, shall constitute the sole agreements between you and the airline(s), and are subject to terms and conditions specified by the airlines.Please download Flight Schedule, and make sure to read All About Flights section for further information of baggage allowance, mileage, and seating & dietary request, etc. Also read more about Air Travel and Frequently Asked Questions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why have some of the meals been taken out of tours?
It is very important to us to ensure that you get the best value for your dollar without sacrificing service or convenience. Most of the meals that were taken out of the itineraries were "in-flight" meals. We have found that recently many of the airlines, in an effort to save money, no longer offer meals and are only offering a snack. In order for us to maintain the included meals for clients, we are required to give up precious time out of touring to ensure the group has a meal. The best answer to that was to give clients the opportunity to decide what they would like to eat on those days, giving you flexibility without taking time away from your touring. Also, we received feedback from past clients who said that after many days eating with the group some people would prefer to eat on their own. Clients now have a choice on those days as to where and what to eat and whether they would like to eat alone or with fellow travelers. For your first day arriving in Shanghai, the hotel is only blocks from a main shopping area (Nanjing Road and People's Square) so that clients can shop and dine with many options. We have ensured that when meals are not offered, the guide will suggest a place to eat that will satisfy the individual client's needs for that day. This also allows us to put your money toward improved included meals, ensuring you get the best experience for your money.
Document Delivery:
Your final travel documents will be sent to you about 2 weeks prior to departure. If passports are included, then a signature will be required upon delivery. In the packet, you will find your air itinerary with your electronic air ticket number (e-ticket), the final tour itinerary, Know Before You Go, China hotel and emergency contact, and other important information for your China tour. If your address is a PO Box, then we must send your package via the US Postal Service. Note: the documents for all travelers registered in the same reservation form will be sent to that address unless we are notified otherwise. You can change your mailing address in the Member Area up to 30 days prior to your tour departure. Once the documents are sent it is impossible for China Spree to reroute it to a different address. Prior to delivery, you will receive an email notice with shipment tracking information. Documents delivered to outside the continental U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) will incur an additional delivery charge of $40 if sent by courier service.

Topic: To inherit or not?
I'm having some difficulties choosing a good design for a fairly simple simple use case. The use case is as follows:
A sales agent writes a proposal for a client for let's say some kind of pension savings plan. The pension savings plan is one of the products offered by a certain company or a just a bank. As soon as the compony or bank approves the proposal, then it becomes a policy with a unique number. Finally once the client has payed, the proposal becomes an official contract.
My first thought was just to use three classes in AR like this:
Proposal < AR::Base
Policy < AR::Base
Contract < AR:Base
I don't like the fact that a proposal will have have also a dynamically created read attribute methode for the column "policy_number" that belongs only to Policy and Contract. The same logic applies for the column "payment_date" for the date of the first payment.
It becomes really problematic when a contract can become a policy again because the client didn't pay his monthly fee. You would not want to copy almost all the attributes of a Contract object to a Policy object, destroy the Contract object and create the new Policy object.
Another way to implement the use case without using inheritance at all, would be to let Policy be an :has_one :policy association of Proposal and similar Contract be a :has_one :contract association of Policy.
I would solve this kind of problem normally with using the Decorator of State pattern from the GoF. With the Decorator pattern you can add and remove functionality as you like with changing other objects. The State pattern will look like if a Policy object can change class to an Contract object.
But mixing one of these two patterns with persistence, makes my head spin. So does anyone have some suggestions for how to implement this?
Best regards,
Mark Noten

The common name of Gaillardia refers to the resemblance to brightly patterned Native American blankets - hence Blanket Flower. Extremely drought and heat tolerant, once established. From the early summer on, very showy banded flowers "blanket" this plant. The ends of the petals have a torn, ruffled appearance. Butterflies are drawn to it.
New plantlets can be started by cutting straight down along the side of a clump in midsummer. New plants will form at the severed roots. Completely carefree. Best in poor loose soils (no clay).
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

In spite of the fact that there are a lot of technologies that can potentially overcome the issues of traditional rasterization-based rendering, such as ray tracing, rasterization will live for at least another decade since other techniques of image construction have a lot of peculiarities that cannot be efficiently solved using today's and tomorrow's hardware.
Ray tracing is a very mathematically complex method of image construction that can greatly improve quality of complex visual effects, including ambient occlusion, fresnel reflection, depth of field, area light sources as well as optical effects, including, but not limited to scattering, reflection and refraction. In fact, ray tracing algorithm is much closer the behavior of light in nature than traditional rasterization technique that has been used for years in real-time 3D graphics, primarily video games.
Since ray-tracing greatly solves complex rendering problems, it makes sense to implement certain fixed-function hardware for ray tracing into the future graphics processing units (GPUs). In fact, a lot of ray-tracing engines based on general purpose computing on GPUs emerged in the recent years, but all of them have a number of limitations, which can be, at least partly, overcome by implementing special-function ray-tracing hardware into graphics chips.
"Our group has definitely done research in [fixed-function ray tracing hardware] area to explore the 'speed of light', but my sense at this time is that we would rather spend those transistors on improvements that benefit other irregular algorithms as well," said David Luebke, director of graphics research at Nvidia, during a public conversation earlier this week.
Graphics processors need to greatly improve programmability and computing performance in order to make techniques like real-time ray tracing feasible.
"Looking forward, increased GPU performance and programmability both combine to make simpler approaches - like ray tracing - practical. On the flip side, graphics is certainly not solved and there are many effects that we cannot do at all in real-time today, so you will continue to see games push forward on graphics innovation, new algorithms, new ways to use the hardware," said Mr. Luebke.
Nvidia is working hard to ensure improvements of GPGPU performance of its chips and the company claims that steps like Fermi's large unified L2 cache and unified memory space are examples of generic hardware improvements that benefit GPU ray tracing as well as many other workloads. Unfortunately, even in the next ten years ray tracing will hardly become feasible for high-end games and applications. As a result, rasterization will live on.
"Forward rasterization is a very energy-efficient way to solve single-center-of-projection problems (like pinhole cameras and point light shadow maps) which continue to be important problems and sub-problems in rendering. So I think these will stick around for at least another ten years," stressed the director of graphics research at Nvidia.

Nokia Corp. on Monday started a new era in high-end smartphone imaging with the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone that is the first to feature Nokia PureView imaging technologies, bringing together high resolution sensors, exclusive Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia developed algorithms, which will support new high-end imaging experiences for future Nokia products.
"Nokia PureView imaging technology sets a new industry standard by whatever measure you use. People will inevitably focus on the 41MP sensor, but the real quantum leap is how the pixels are used to deliver breath-taking image quality at any resolution and the freedom it provides to choose the story you want to tell," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices.
The Nokia 808 PureView features a large, high-resolution 41MP sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8MP) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable, according to Nokia. At high-resolution (38MP maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks, the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.
In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView, also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording. Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones. The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.
The novelty from Nokia has 16GB of NAND flash memory and supports all the necessary modern technologies, such as GSM, GPRS/EDGE class B, HSDPA with 14.4Mb/s speed, HSUPA with 5.76Mb/s speed and so on. Cat10Unfortunately, Nokia 808 PureView is based on outdated Symbian operating system that the company is phasing out. As a result, the phone will barely get popular on the market. The device features 4" AMOLED screen, but its resolution is 640*360, which is not enough to enjoy high-quality photos.
Pricing and availability timeframe of Nokia 808 PureView are unknown.

Watertown's Former Five-Term Mayor Offers His Take on Life in the North Country and Beyond
Friday, November 23, 2012
If You Say You Don't Have an ID....You Are Lying
Tonight about 530 two guys came in...one a well groomed 40ish guy, the other I couldn't see as he hung out by the juke box with a cell phone on his ear....
The older guy ordered two Bud Lights and as I retrieved them, I was suspicious and asked to see the other guy's ID....The well groomed one, an almost Trooper-like guy in appearance, said he doesn't have an ID...Oh really ? What's he doing in the Mayor's Bar then, as we don't serve such folks. ?.. Who doesn't have ID ? and why would the well-groomed guy know if he did or didn't ?
Then the well groomed guy walked over to his cohort and said something and they both left.
This didn't look like two younger guys just trying to get a beer...Looked like a sting, as I read on Newzjunky the law was on OT for the weekend.

Looks Like you dodged a bullet. One would think that the law enforcement would be a little more clever in their "sting operations"
- November 23, 2012 at 7:58 PM
The cop was going to purchase the drink and then give it to the minor? And that would be your fault?
Sounds like he really did forget his ID and they wouldn't serve him at Clueless so they tried your bar next.

Sneaky way to entrap a tax paying business,but hey it's new york.
- November 24, 2012 at 6:45 AM
@1:14 - That's exactly how it would have worked, and YES, the bar and the bartender would have been cited as a result. If you're selling booze, whether at a bar or at a retail store, you really need to pay attention to not only the purchaser, but to the purchaser's companion(s) as well.
- November 24, 2012 at 9:41 AM
Must be they weren't pretty enough or weren't wearing provacative enough clothing ... Seems like a know fact- an age old tradition - that the mayors bar - actually the mayor himself will serve anyone who is pretty enough and or who will gamble enough with no questions asked ..24/7 ....
- November 24, 2012 at 9:56 AM
How do you figure Clueless Tavern into this story? Of all of the bars in Watertown you choose that one.. Which, isn't even open at said time.. Regardless, good for you Mr. Mayor for not falling into a possible trap! I enjoy your place and would hate to see any negativity come your way.

To 9:56. You make anonymous allegations. "Known to who" ?
Step up. Come see me with your assertions. Anyone can sit in their jammies, be a tough guy and hit the send button.
Can you say it in person and back it up ? In your case, it appears not so, but I ran your comment anyway.

Wow...Some people are brutal. Jeff- I've known you for close to 30 years, even worked for you at one time.
One thing is not in question; you simply do not serve minors. First time I've ever posted here, but these folks
got my dander up a bit on this beautiful Saturday morning.
Happy Thanksgiving.

You did offer them Quick Draw tickets though right?

Amazing what bars go through in new York. Also amazing how people talk so poorly about them. People drink to much and cause problems but it's never their fault. And then they slander the establishment. Kind of pathetic.
- November 24, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Thank God. I don't want to have to walk to the yuppy bars on Factory.
- November 24, 2012 at 1:41 PM
Again 1233, you anonymously have your facts awry. You have to be 21 and prove it to play Quick Draw in a bar.
- November 24, 2012 at 2:29 PM
I'm not convinced that an undercover officer could purchase an adult beverage, give it to a minor, then go on to pin that crime on the proprietor.
I am sure if this was actually a sting we would have read about other bar owners who fell for the trick by now. Unless the mayors blog has earned him a special entrapment technique that no one else has been subject to.
The clueless comment was just a way of implying that either the mayors bar is a gay bar or that all undercover cops are gay. Because since the beginning of time, it has always been funny to kid heterosexuals that they are actually gay. But don't take my word for it...watch comedy central roast or Tosh.0
- November 24, 2012 at 2:44 PM
I am with 1211 mayor. You are among the most responsible bar owners. You must be to last all these years

It's bothersome to hear the mayor of the city so leery of law enforcement. Stop acting like they are trying to "get you" for something. If you're in the bar business it goes with the territory. Not like they are singling you out for something, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Sounding a little paranoid.
- November 25, 2012 at 1:26 PM
He should be more leary of that Gorman guy.
Jeff gets along with most cops but is rightly leary of the State of NY.
- November 25, 2012 at 4:16 PM
It is a breath of fresh air to hear Jeff speak so candidly about the sad state of today's law enforcement. The days are long gone when police work concentrated on the bad guys. Today everyone is a criminal by definition. That is why all the friends of cops have those little stickers on their windshields.
- November 25, 2012 at 6:39 PM
How do you know Jeff gets along with most cops 4:16? Take a poll?
- November 25, 2012 at 6:50 PM
I think drinking should be outlawed like smoking has been.
- November 26, 2012 at 12:49 AM
In the long run it doesn't mean poop. Jeff did it right and they left. Good for him.

"I'm not convinced that an undercover officer could purchase an adult beverage, give it to a minor, then go on to pin that crime on the proprietor."
You're dead wrong. Simple as that. Get a job in the industry and test it yourself. Sooner or later, you'll find yourself "convinced", embarrassed, a little poorer, and probably out of a job as well.
- November 28, 2012 at 1:52 PM
I read the State Police press release and you were right mayor.
They make the buy legally..give it to the underage guy and then charge you with "providing alcohol to a minor", not selling it.
Still a two or three thousand dollar fine and some humiliation.

Keep up with construction of National Hockey & Event Center
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
The first phase of construction on the National Hockey and Event Center made major strides this spring at St. Cloud State. A new webcam has been set up at stcloudstate.edu/nhec for curious folks to watch old walls come down and new ones go up.
The most dramatic change to passersby so far was the removal of the hillside along Herb Brooks Way to begin construction on the masonry for the new walls on the first floor.
Construction work on the first phase of this $14.7 million expansion and renovation will continue into the hockey season.
Slated to be complete spring 2013, the expanded and renovated NHEC will be a regional events center hosting entertainment, retail, conventions and sporting events. Central to the construction project is a 50,000 square-foot, four-story glass atrium that will extend south from the current facade to Herb Brooks Way. In addition, 20,000 square-feet will be remodeled.

Degree Requirements
Continued enrollment in the B.S. in Biomedical Sciences: Clinical Laboratory Science is contingent upon:
The pre-requisite courses for the major in Clinical Laboratory Sciences are:
The technical (non-academic) standards established by the programs in this department are evidence of the "essential functions" that students must be able to accomplish in the program. Essential functions include requirements that students be able to engage during educational and training activities so that they will not endanger other students, the public at large, or patients.
A criminal conviction and/or the use of illegal drugs may impede or bar your entry into your chosen field of study. Clinical and hospital sites may reject a student, or remove a student from their site if a criminal record is found or if a positive drug test is noted. Inability to gain clinical or field work will result in the inability to meet program objectives and outcomes. Inability to meet objectives and outcomes may result in your failure to complete the program requirements, thus requiring your withdrawal from the program. In addition, the presence of a criminal conviction may also prevent your completion of the required state or federal licensure, certification or registration process.
Some individuals with appropriate profession-related work experience may be eligible to pursue life experience credit for required course work through the Life Experience Credit route. Eligibility for credits is based on successful completion of proficiency examinations and/or extensive documentation of experiences. Students should apply for Life Experience Credits upon completion of their first 6 credits of study at LIU Post, but before beginning their final 32 credits (residency requirements). Life Experience applications will not be accepted once students have begun their senior residency. All proficiency examinations must be completed prior to the final 32 credits of undergraduate study.
For more information contact the Life Experience Program at 516-299-2445.
The final 32 credits (9 credits in the major) toward the baccalaureate degree must be taken at LIU Post. Life Experience Credits (see above) or transfer credits from other colleges may be applied toward the bachelor's degree requirements, but they cannot substitute for the residency requirement.
