SAP® Mobile Apps for Windows 8 to Help Increase Mobile and PC Worker Productivity
SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced plans to deliver six new SAP® mobile apps for Windows 8, bringing new innovations for SAP customers. SAP also announced forthcoming support for Windows 8 development on the leading SAP® Mobile Platform1 as well as security enhancements to the SAP® Afaria® mobile device management solution. Through these apps, platform support and security enhancements, SAP plans to extend business processes to Windows 8 to accelerate a business' ability to run better with devices of various form factors. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW + SAP® TechEd, being held as a co-located event in Madrid from Nov. 13-16.
SAP Mobile Apps for Windows 8
SAP plans to offer six business apps for Windows 8 for use on devices of various form factors focused on enterprise functions such as training, recruiting and sales. All six of these mobile apps are planned to be available for download in both the Windows Store and SAP® Store. These mobile apps include:
"We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with SAP, to create great new apps that our customers can use to address business needs and uncover new opportunities," said Erwin Visser, senior director, Windows Commercial, Microsoft Corp. "We are very pleased with the commitment of SAP to Windows 8; the apps that SAP is developing for Windows 8 take advantage of the beautiful new Windows user interface and will help our customers be even more mobile, secure, productive and efficient."
These apps aim to take advantage of the touch capability and features of the new Windows user interface, such as zoom, tiles and Snap mode, enabling users to easily interact with SAP data. All SAP mobile apps for Windows 8 are planned to include a trial mode to allow customers to be able to download the apps from the Windows Store and evaluate them before purchasing.
"SAP continues to build on its tradition of delivering innovation to its enterprise customer base, in this case, providing the foundation for mobile computing," said Sanjay Poonen, president and head of Mobile Division, SAP. "SAP takes advantage of the current install base and customer relationships to transform enterprises to a mobile-centric computing model. We look forward to helping our customers fully leverage Windows 8 and bringing new business and consumer apps to the industry that take full advantage of the new Windows user interface."

They are sooooo bloody beautiful together
I know Jamie has children with Amelia but I feel she almost had the second one just to keep her grips on him.jealousy can cause her to lose everything. I almost wish like a lot others that Jamie and Dakota went further than their movies and lived very happily ever after together.never seen a more beautiful couple that if there was ever a "should meant to be situation"they should be it! Forever and always,Dakota and Jamie Dornan!!!
Breeze - not your everyday fangirl.

Kathy, I didn't watch the movie until Feb. of this year, and have read all four book since then. There is something very special between Jamie and Dakota, which like so many others I saw between the scenes. Love their gentle touches, how they communicate with one another verbally and with their eyes; you can see that they discuss things and listen to one another. DJ and JD are a team. Even when they've had their spats on sets they never go far from each other. I honestly believe they are soul mates, and are working on being together in the future behind the scenes. Hollywood contracts, a wife that appears to want to sabotage his career, and a young family make it more difficult.

I sae Fifty Shades of Grey on the day it was released, and I am looking forward to the next two movies! DAKOTA was a perfect fit as Ana, and I think that Jamie is doing wonderful as Christian.I have read the books each about 4 times thus far, and Fifty Shades I have read about 7 times.I thimk I could feal with this relationship as well. I know people who participate in BDSM, but they share slaves, and I would never never ahare or want to be shared, you know?

After watching various youtube trailers for 50 shades, Alexis Bledel would be the perfect Anastasia, she has natural beauty, the perfect hair and figure and there is an innocence about her. She is exactly as described in the book. As is Matt Bomer, he has the same eyes and stance and sex appeal as described. A good chemistry between them which is believable.
Very disappointed in your casting director.
Posted at 4:17 PM on February 23, 2015
You don't cast people for their face or figure but their acting skills, and lets face it, Alexis will never be in a big budget film, she will be in tv shows and nothing else. Also, she is too old now. The actors are both gorgeous, and if they were not the ones you wanted to see from your kiddie shows on the CW or whatever, then too bad. A big plus is that they are booth super talented.

You are missing out. She actually made the movie. As much as I disliked the Anna in the books for being a pouty overly dramatic brat, Dakota makes Anna the perfect vulnerable but strong heroine I wanted to see. She has the exact good looks for the film, she is not the first person you would notice in the room, but when you do, you can;t stop looking at her. Much better then the surface big eyes, and prim little attitude of Alexis.

This is one room in a 2 bedroom apartment located on the top floor of a 2-family home. The building is situated in a quiet location, yet it is just around the corner from the business district and a few blocks to the buses that take you to Manhattan in 15 minutes.
If you are interested in renting the entire apartment go to WIMDU/9NCF3BI7
Please note: with this screen you are booking/inquiring to rent just one of the bedrooms.
It is ideal for people looking to visit the city for a couple of days as well as people looking to stay for a couple of months. Please message me if you are interested in staying for an extended period of time and I will be happy to discuss long-term pricing with you then.
The apartment has been completely renovated, including the bathroom. The walls have been newly painted and all furniture is brand new!
Please make sure that you check all my other listing – the GreenRoom (Wimdu/99UF2OL3) & the entire Apartment (see above), and if you don't find the dates you're looking for, shoot me an inquiry anyways and I'll do what I can to help you, including recommending other great local hosts.
Great energy and very peaceful! Feel free to message me with any questions!
ABOUT YOUR ROOM and the house:
* There is a fully equipped kitchen and refrigerator. We provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We encourage you to make yourself at home. Depending on the length of your stay, you can stack up on food and drink, there is plenty of storage space! We suggest restaurants (menus on the book shelf of those that deliver!)
* Keypad code (no physical keys) so you can come and go as you please
* There is a key to each bedroom to assure privacy and security
* Your bedroom (The Red Room) has a "queen-sized" bed and a large closet. The room comfortably accommodates two people
* Free WIFI
* Includes all linens, blankets, towels and pillows
* Share kitchen and bathrooms with other guests
* We can install child proof rail guards
* LGBT friendly
Interaction with Guests
I do not live in the house. I like to come by the morning after guests arrive to answer all questions and to make sure everything is in order. After that I keep in contact with guests via WhatsApp or other applications (Email or phone), so we can be in contact at all times. I am only a few blocks away and can be there in 10 minutes if need be.
The Neighborhood
* Located in Union City, NJ, a very short direct bus ride to the Times Square area
* Five blocks from gorgeous Manhattan views (along Hudson River)
* Best 'cafe con leche' in town around the corner. You'll wonder why you spend so much at Starbucks!
* Buses to Manhattan/Times Square run every minute during day, and every 4 minutes at night. Buses run 24/7.
It is easier and faster to commute into the City from Union City than commuting from Brooklyn or Queens. If you were to stay in the Bronx it would take you 40 min to get to Times Square. If you were to stay in Brooklyn it would take you the same amount of time as subways in Brooklyn are not direct. If you were to stay in Manhattan you would not find a place as big as this one for this price.
* Great grocery and wine/liquor stores in the neighborhood; a Bodega around the corner (open until 11pm), an Italian deli across the street from it, and the supermarket is just a few blocks away.
* Very safe neighborhood, lots of great restaurants and bakeries but also very quiet at night.
Believe it or NOT – it is possible to be outside of Manhattan and so close to it, yet it's true. Here are some facts about transportation:
1. Apartment is 5 minutes (7 blocks) walking from the central bus stop at post office.
2. The jitney bus is very frequent, I rarely wait for it more than 2 to 3 minutes. Most of the time you won't even wait at all. You will get to the bus stop and a bus will be there.
3. Buses are available 24/7 so you can catch them even when you spend the whole evening out.
4. The price of these express buses is $3 onboard, and $2.50 if you buy tickets at ticket window #23 at Port Authority Bus Terminal
5. You won't find a timetable or route on the internet for these buses, it's a private bus company that runs many lines in and out of Manhattan
6. City bus #22 runs every 30 minutes into Hoboken, home of the Cake Boss, Birthplace of Frank Sinatra and Baseball (where you can also catch the PATH into Manhattan 33rd Street and/or the World Trade Center) and bus #123 every 15-30 minutes (during commute hours) into Manhattan's Port Authority (42nd Street & 8th Avenue – Times Square)
Easy city bus access to Jersey Garden Outlet Mall, much closer and as good as Woodbury Commons.
We are also close to Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City.
House rulesABOUT PARKING:
Being an urban area, parking is tight. We will provide a visitor pass so you have the same privilege as residents. Please note, that you must not forget to return this pass, otherwise we will need to charge you $35.00. For those who are not familiar with the parking system in the US, you must adhere to the parking rules - ie NO parking in fire zones / handicapped zones; sweep days; parking meters need to be adhered to and if you get a ticket, do not assume that you will not get another one if you don't move your car.
Many ask about the price and extra fees and how to pay. When you put in the dates and number of people you will get our total cost. There are no taxes or extra fees on top of this, but Wimbu adds their fee. It varies between 6-12% on top of our price.
All the payments are safely made with credit card to Wimdu when booking. They hold the money until the day you check in and will then transfer it to us.
Bookings with us are done with the "strict" cancellation policy and all cancellations should be done through Wimdu. This being said, if we manage to re-rent the place the nights you have canceled we can give a bigger refund to you than what the strict cancellation policy dictates. The earlier you cancel the bigger the chance that we will find other guests.
DEPOSIT IS FOR KEYS + VISITOR PASS or any damages that may have occurred. IT WILL BE REFUNDED TO YOU BY WIMDU AFTER YOU HAVE CHECKED OUT.
To confirm that you have read the entire description, please include the secret word "GreenwichVillage" in your inquiry to me.
Check out by 11am – if you need to stay longer, a special request can be made, depending if we need the room the same or the next day.
I was born in Vienna, Austria and have been living in the States for some 4 decades. I lived in Greenwich Village and the East Village (NYC) for 25 years - I consider myself a true New Yorker still, although I now live in New Jersey! I speak German and English and the people in the building speak Spanish!
You are sharing the living room, kitchen and bath with another guest. Please be respectful and considerate and clean up after yourself, especially after using the bathroom. Please wash all the dishes, dry them, put them away and take out the garbage before you check out (see recycling notice on the bulletin board).
Security Deposit is held to ensure return of Room Key & Visitors Parking Pass. Please leave your room key in the door lock upon check out, and the parking pass on the bulletin board to make sure that deposit is instantly refunded to you. Check out by 11am
Smoking is not allowed in the apartment – please smoke outside in front of house.
The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, so PLEASE NO noise after 11pm.
There is lovely family living on the first floor, who can also answer questions.
Please keep food in the kitchen, we keep a pest free house and wish to continue to do so.
NB. Absolutely no downloading of copyrighted materials (no bit torrent, for example). Any copyright infringement by guests is subject to release of guests' info to copyright holder for further action.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Hannelore is very nice and give many good informations. The appartement was great, my sister and I have passed an really good week in NYC.
We would like come back again!!!
A perfect place to stay when visiting New York. Very nice and clean flat. Hannelore is very kind and of great help. From Union City it is only a few minutes to the city center of New York. Buses are driving very often. If you have one day more, try to visit also Union city itself. it has some latin-american charm that is quite nice.
Hannelore is German and has helped us in all questions quickly and easily. Thanks to their advice we had a carefree time in NY. Many Thanks! The two rooms were fine, beds good. However, we had a "hot" time so that cooling in the form of drinks was necessary. The other roommates we hardly get to see. Everything was great!
Hannelore ist Deutsche und hat uns in allen Fragen schnell und unkompliziert geholfen. Dank ihrer Tipps hatten wir eine sorgenfreie Zeit in NY. Vielen Dank! Die beiden Zimmer waren prima, die Betten gut. Wir hatten allerdings eine "heiße" Zeit, so dass Abkühlung in Form von Getränken notwendig war. Die weiteren Mitbewohnerinnen haben wir kaum zu Gesicht bekommen. Alles war prima!
We were two couples and had a very nice stay in Hannelore's apartment!
The bus from NJ to NY is perfect and we had such a little distance from the hustle and NY. Should we again make the trip to NY, we would definitely choose again this accommodation.
Wir waren zwei Pärchen und hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Hannelores Apartment!
Die Busverbindung von NJ nach NY ist perfekt und wir hatten so ein wenig Abstand zum hektischen NY. Sollten wir uns mal wieder auf die Reise nach NY machen, würden wir auf jeden fall wieder diese Unterkunft wählen.
We had a great stay in NJ! The apartment is equipped and clean with all the things of everyday use. Hannelore is very friendly and gives interesting information about the new and old New York. Despite the location in NJ you are by bus quickly in Manhattan!
All the best, Lucas
Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt in NJ! Die Wohnung ist sauber und mit allen Dingen des täglichen Bedarfs ausgestattet. Hannelore ist sehr freundlich und gibt interessante Infos zum neuen und alten New York. Trotz der Lage in NJ ist man per Bus schnell in Manhattan!
Alles Gute, Lucas
Very friendly host who gave us in advance through e-mail very good info on how to get to the appartment and how to travel from and to NY
Very quiet neighboorhood with grocery shop around the corner
Busstop is 5 min walk and bus takes you to center of NY in 12 minutes
We have spent a wonderful week in New Jersey and New York. Hannelore's apartment is very beautiful and clean. She was very friendly and she helped us with everything we wanted to know. The apartment isn't far away from a lot of supermarkets and a few bus minutes away from Manhattan. We enjoyed our stay in New Jersey very much and hope to come back soon. All in all we recommend Hannlore's apartment, Especially for German people, Because she speaks German very well.
We spent in New Jersey and New York a wonderful week. Hannelore's house is very nice and clean. She was very friendly, helpful and was always available wide for us. The accommodation is not far from some supermarkets, where you will find everything you need for your stay. Manhattan is very easy to reach in a few minutes by bus. We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend to other German further because Hannelore Hannelore's apartment speaks fluent German.

Wir haben in New Jersey und New York eine wundervolle Woche verbracht. Hannelores Unterkunft ist sehr schön und sauber. Sie war sehr freundlich, hilfsbreit und war stets für uns erreichbar. Die Unterkunft ist nicht weit von einigen Supermärkten entfernt, in denen man alles findet, was man für seinen Aufenthalt benötigt. Manhattan ist sehr leicht in wenigen Minuten mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können Hannelores Apartment besonders an andere Deutsche weiter empfehlen, da Hannelore fließend deutsch spricht.
We were pleasantly surprised. everything was as advertised, we were very pleased. especially we would like to emphasize the personal visit of the hostess, which was a nice gesture. Thanks a lot for this.
wir waren angenehm ueberrascht. alles war wie beschrieben, wir waren sehr zufrieden. besonders moechten wir den persoenlichen besuch der gastgeberin herausstellen, das war eine nette geste. vielen dank dafuer.
This apartment was well set up for travelers with plenty of space to store clothes etc. Yet all necessary items supplied. The apartment is in a quiet, safe and interesting area. A supermarket and many good restaurants are near by. Even an old fashioned diner on 32nd street. The fashionable area of Hoboken is easily reached by bus from a nearby stop as is Manhattan. Hannelore was very helpful even posting on an important item we left behind by mistake. We certainly recommend this apartment to travelers looking for a little different visit to NY
Nice apartment for family (6 persons) or as a couple. The apartment is located in a beautiful quiet area not far from a great view of the skyline of New York. Super nice landlady who gave us a very nice and was with helpful tips to the side. The apartment is located a few minutes walk to the nearest bus stop from which you are within 10 minutes in New York.
We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to seeing you again.
Schönes Appartement für Familie (6 Personen) oder zu zweit. Die Wohnung liegt in einer wunderschönen ruhigen Gegend nicht weit entfernt von einem super Ausblick auf die Skyline von New York. Super nette Vermieterin, welche uns sehr nett empfangen hat und mit hilfreichen Tips zur Seite stand. Die Wohnung liegt ein paar Gehminuten zur nächsten Bushaltestelle von welcher man innerhalb von 10 Minuten in New York ist.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr sehr genossen und freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen.

Free Sample of our Sermon Aids
Old Testament: Jeremiah 1:4-10
The call of Jeremiah. Jeremiah's ministry covered 40 years, 626 to 586 B.C. He served at a time of international turmoil and the dissolution of his country, Judah, in 586 B.C. Assyria fell to the Babylonians and in due time the surrounding countries including Judah were conquered. Jeremiah received his call five years before the reforms of King Josiah of Judah in 621 B.C. Because of his critical preaching he was the most hated man by most of the people in Judah. The moral and spiritual corruption he preached against, was the cause of the coming downfall of Judah. He even went so far as to say it was God's will for Judah to surrender to the Babylonians. For this he was accused of treason and suffered much at the hands of the military and priesthood. For eight Sundays the first Lesson is taken from Jeremiah.
Epistle – Hebrews 12:18-29
Christians are on a mountain greater than Mt. Sinai and hear God's voice that shakes earth and heaven. Christians have moved from Mt. Sinai to Mt. Zion, from law to gospel and from the old to the new covenant. On Mt. Sinai the Israelites experienced the terrifying images of God's holiness, but on Mt. Zion we see extraordinary pictures of the city of God: angels, saints, God, and Christ. Mt. Zion is far greater than Mt. Sinai because Christ as our mediator before a God of justice and holiness enables us to be in the very presence of God. However, we are warned that God's judgment comes to those who reject God and refuse to hear his voice which shakes heaven and earth. His voice shakes earthly things that those things that cannot be shaken may remain. God has given us a kingdom that cannot be shaken. For this we should worship God with reverence and awe.
Gospel: Luke 13:10-17
A spirit can cause physical disability. Jesus was in a synagogue teaching. He saw a nameless woman who had been bent over for 18 years. At once Jesus saw she had a spiritual problem. Satan possessed her to the point that she could not stand upright. When he laid his hands on her, at once she stood straight and began to glorify God. She did not even ask for help. He saw her need and acted. The leader of the synagogue objected to healing on the Sabbath. Jesus pointed out that they could untie an ox or a donkey on the Sabbath and take it to water. Is not a human of more worth so that she could be untied from the grip of Satan?
Gospel: Luke 13:10-17
1. Spirit (v. 11). The unnamed woman in the synagogue where Jesus was teaching had a spirit. But, it was the wrong spirit, the spirit that doubled her up physically for 18 years. Every person has a spirit, either good or bad. An evil spirit can cause physical disability. This evil spirit is the spirit of Satan (v. 16). The spirit we all need for spiritual as well as physical health is the Holy Spirit.
2. Saw (v. 12). When you teach or preach, do you see a crowd or individuals? Jesus saw an individual who was in trouble, one bent over for 18 years. He cured her by casting out the evil spirit that handicapped her. The woman did not go to Jesus, fall on her knees, confess her faith, nor beg to be healed. He called her to come to him and when he put his hands on her, she was healed. Here is a perfect picture of unmerited and unsolicited grace.
3. Untie (v. 15). When Jesus was criticized for healing the woman on the Sabbath, he pointed out to his critics belonging to the synagogue that on the Sabbath they untied a donkey or an ox to give it water. He did no more than untie a woman from the grip of Satan. The question is, which is more important, an animal or a human? His critics made no answer but they slipped away ashamed of themselves.
Old Testament: Jeremiah 1:4-10
1. Womb (v. 5). If Jeremiah were alive today, would he be an anti-abortionist? Here Yahweh tells him that while he was still in his mother's womb, he was consecrated as a prophet. If there were an abortion, God's plan would have been frustrated. It all adds up to the fact that God has a destiny for each person. Each is sent into the world to accomplish some task for God. There is a meaning to life. God has a plan for every life. Our responsibility is to know what that plan is and to fulfill it.
2. Only (v. 7). Jeremiah gives a typical reaction to a call to be a prophet to the nations and to speak God's Word. Who can measure up to that and be adequate for such a challenge? So he says he does not know how to speak and besides he is only a boy. The Lord will not take that as an answer to decline his call. No excuses are acceptable that frustrate God's will.
3. Mouth (v. 9). Jeremiah is assured that Yahweh will make him adequate for the job. He touched Jeremiah's mouth and put his words into it. Therefore, he needs not be afraid to preach nor of the opposition he will face. What he is to preach is not his own. God is responsible for the content of his messages. This makes a preacher bold and courageous.
Epistle – Hebrews 12:18-29
1. Terrifying (v. 21).To be with God on Mount Sinai was a "terrifying" experience for the Israelites. One could not touch the mountain for fear of death. They could not bear to hear God's voice. The sight of God made Moses tremble with fear. The God of Mount Sinai was one of perfect holiness, justice, and wrath. He was the transcendent, totally-other God. It is this side of God that is missing in today's concept of God and in our worship service. Many no longer fear God.
2. Mediator (v. 24).Now we have come closer to God than the Israelites and we still live! We are on Mount Zion where we are with the angels, God, and Christ. How is this possible? Christ is our "mediator." He comes between this holy God and sinful us. He intercedes for us. Because of his sacrifice, God accepts us into his holy presence. Because of our "mediator," we can approach God with confidence.
3. Acceptable (v. 28). The author of Hebrews exhorts us to offer "acceptable" worship. What is "acceptable worship"? The text tells us the answer: reverence and awe. In many churches reverence and awe do not exist. The note of adoration and mystery is missing. To have reverence and awe in our church services, we need to realize that the holy, transcendent God is truly present in the worship service. His presence causes us to worship with reverence and awe.
Gospel: Luke 13:10-17
1. A psychosomatic condition: 13:10-13. Need: As many physicians will tell you, a majority of illnesses result from mental, emotional, or spiritual conditions. Many need to see a pastor rather than a physician. People need to know that a bad spirit can cause a bad physical condition. A good spirit, the Holy Spirit, results in health of body and mind. In today's gospel lesson, a woman was bent over for 18 years until Jesus drove out of her the spirit of Satan.
Outline: What kind of spirit is in you?
a. An evil spirit can cripple you – v. 11.
b. The Holy Spirit gives freedom for health – vv. 12-13.
2. A miracle of grace: 13:10-13. Need: Here is a case of pure grace. An unknown, nameless woman is freed from her handicap. She did not ask for help. She expressed no faith in Jesus' ability to heal her. When cured, she gave all the credit to God, not to Jesus. Today many people are in need of healing not only of body and mind, but also of spirit. If we are going to be helped, it will be a miracle of grace.
Outline: Because of grace
a. Jesus saw her condition – v. 12.
b. Jesus called her to him – v. 12.
c. Jesus laid his hands on her – v. 13.
d. The healed woman praised God – v. 13.
3. Hypocrites in church: 13:14-17. Need: It is a common saying that the church is full of hypocrites. Jesus found that to be true in the "church" of his day. And he did not mind calling them what they were – "hypocrites." (v. 15) The need of every church member is to avoid becoming a hypocrite, one who appears to be what he/she is not.
Outline: How to avoid becoming a hypocrite
a. Put the law secondary to human need – v. 14.
b. Put human values above animal or material concerns – vv. 15-16.
Old Testament: Jeremiah 1:4-10
1. The meaning of life: 1:4-5. Need: For ages humankind has been asking if there is a meaning to life. Is life a mere existence without any plan or purpose? Does God have a plan for your life? Is there such a thing as a divine destiny? Many need to have answers to these questions. We will find the answers in Jeremiah.
Outline: God gives meaning to life
a. God created you – v. 5.
b. God consecrated you – v. 5.
c. God appointed you – v. 5.
2. Are you able?: 1:6-10. Need: How can we live up to God's intention for our lives – to be his spokesperson to the nations for destroying and building up? Jeremiah felt he was inadequate and not qualified. Do you feel the same?
Outline: God makes you able
a. God takes away your excuses: youth and inability to speak – v. 6.
b. God makes you adequate: gives content – vv. 9-10.
Epistle – Hebrews 12:18-29
1. The population of God's city: 12:22-24. Need: Can we know who is in heaven? Are our loved ones there? Will I be there some day? Will we know each other in heaven? Is there a limit to the number in God's city – say, 144,000? These are questions that say this sermon is needed.
Outline: Who is in the city of God
a. Innumerable angels – v. 22.
b. Assembly of true believers – v. 23.
c. God the judge – v. 23.
d. Jesus the mediator – v. 24.
2. How glorious is this place! 12:18-24. Need: In recent years we have lost the sense of awe and adoration in our religion and worship. We may have lost it in the craze for informality and in the emphasis upon being human. The immanence of God was emphasized to the point that we lost sight of a transcendent God full of majesty, power, and glory. Our text will help us recover that lost sense of reverence, fear, awe, and adoration.
Outline: The Glory of the Covenants
a. The glory of the old covenant – vv. 18-21. God's presence was as fearful as a blazing fire. The voice of God was too loud to bear. Even Moses was terrified in the holy presence of God. To touch the mountain of God was to die.
b. The greater glory of the new covenant – vv. 22-24. Christians now come into the direct presence of God and Christ. They associate with angels and saints. How much more then should Christians fall down in awe as they approach God in prayer and worship?
Psalm Of The Day: Psalm 71:1-6 – "Upon you I have leaned from my birth." (v. 6a)
Prayer Of The Day: "God of all creation, you reach out to call people of all nations to your kingdom. As you gather disciples from near and far, count us also among those who boldly confess your Son Jesus Christ as Lord."
Hymn Of The Day: "A Multitude Comes From East And West"

Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and emptiest place on Earth. It is home to penguins and teeming sea life along its coast. But it was only 120 years ago that the first human ever set foot on the continent. Deep freeze conditions over millions of years have created an enormous ice sheet that covers Antarctica—the ice is nearly three miles thick in places! Yet the continent is also the driest desert on the planet.
Tourists visit the coast of Antarctica during the summer, which is from November to February in the southern hemisphere. They get to see penguins, seals, whales, and a spectacular icy landscape. But the people who live and work on Antarctica are mostly scientists and those who help them carry out their research. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the U.S. agency that funds this research through its Polar Programs, which supports scientists in both the Arctic and the Antarctic. The NSF also makes it possible for journalists and photographers to visit Antarctica to report on research being conducted there. Thanks to one of these grants, TFK has the pleasure and privilege of visiting the icy continent this month. The NSF also makes it possible for artists, filmmakers, and poets to visit Antarctica.
Peter West of the NSF will be accompanying TFK on its adventure. He has been a spokesperson for the Office of Polar Programs for the past 12 years and has had the opportunity to stand at both the North Pole and the South Pole. "Each year, we send about 125 teams of scientists to our three research stations in Antarctica," says West. Some scientists study the movement of glaciers or the activity of volcanoes—one, Mt. Erebus, is rumbling right now! Others study whales, seals, birds, fish, or tiny microorganisms in the soil. There are even scientists who look for meteorites and ancient dinosaur bones. At the South Pole station, adds West, there are astronomers and other researchers who monitor changes in the atmosphere. The NSF makes it all possible, from outfitting the scientists with special cold-weather gear, which includes extra-warm parkas, gloves, and sleeping bags, to getting them into and around the continent on planes, helicopters, and snow tractors.
Stay tuned as TFK sends stories, photos, and videos of life on the ice.
To see a live web broadcast on January 23, teachers and parents can join the TFK community at edweb.net/tfk. All participants will receive printable worksheets with maps, time lines, and more.

Hello everyone,
I would like to show off a new machine designed to manufacture Bee Boxes.
I am the manufacturer, so if the powers that be...decide that I should be in another forum or such, please redirect me.
To introduce myself, My company is Woodman Engineering in Redding Ca. My main goal in life is to design and build automated production machinery.
A local bee keeper mentioned that they wanted something better than what they had. I had been wanting to build a machine for some time, to machine the box joint, rack shelf (3/8 rabet), and Scalloped hand hold from pre sized box panels.
Our first machine has been running for just under a year. Running as needed, has produced about 30,000 Boxes.
Daily production can be as high as 1000 boxes per day. Future goals are to be at 1400 to 1500 BOXES per 8 hour shift.
I can be reached at email@example.com or 530-243-8753
I have pictures, and some video to share if requested. Can I post pictures here?
Thanks, Hank Bosman


text: I use plastic three drawer shelves, stacked two high. Each drawer has a color, except white, off-white and green have two drawers. I have a drawer for Christmas, one for floral, one for panels and two for novelty prints. I have all sizes in the drawer. Eventually, I will have some boxes for 2.5" squares, 5" squares and 2.5" strips.

Levbid Extended Release Patient Information including If I Miss a Dose
In this Article
- What is hyoscyamine (Levbid Extended Release)?
- What are the possible side effects of hyoscyamine?
- What is the most important information I should know about hyoscyamine?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking hyoscyamine?
- How should I take hyoscyamine?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while taking hyoscyamine?
- What other drugs will affect hyoscyamine?
- Where can I get more information?
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include headache, dizziness, dry mouth, trouble swallowing, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, hot dry skin, and feeling restless or nervous.
What should I avoid while taking hyoscyamine?
Avoid taking antacids at the same time you take hyoscyamine. Antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb hyoscyamine. If you use an antacid, take it after you have taken hyoscyamine and eaten a meal.
Hyoscyamine may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Drinking alcohol can increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking hyoscyamine.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Hyoscyamine can decrease sweating and you may be more prone to heat stroke.
What other drugs will affect hyoscyamine?
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
- amantadine (Symmetrel);
- haloperidol (Haldol);
- an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate);
- phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Permitil, Prolixin), perphenazine (Trilafon), prochlorperazine (Compazine, Compro), promethazine (Pentazine, Phenergan, Anergan, Antinaus), thioridazine (Mellaril), or trifluoperazine (Stelazine); or
- an antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Vanatrip), doxepin (Sinequan), desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Janimine, Tofranil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), and others.
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with hyoscyamine. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about hyoscyamine.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Board Choice (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/27978-board-choice.html)
Board Choice
I am looking for a recommendation on what board that would be okay for my skill level.
I am 5'4", 175lbs, size 7 boot, goofy stance. I went boarding for the first time at Sierra Lake Tahoe, CA and I was able to learn plowing heels and toes, do my J turns heel and toes and ride switch. These runs where mostly on green runs, but I was able to do a single blue run by the end of the day, but I was not as comfortable on that. I learned on my buddy's wife board, a Forum Star 146 camber board. I have been reading on the forums, and in several magazines that a beginner will benefit from a reverse camber board and will have an easier time learning and growing on it. From what my buddies were saying, I should get a high end board with reverse camber and Magne Traction, they all ride GNU Park Pickle and Riders Choice. I don't have deep pockets like they do, so I am limited to a $200-$300 board, but I am willing to pay a little more if I have to. For my size the websites that I looked at say that I should be on a 154 board, but I was thinking maybe 150 or 152. I know that the options are unlimited, but I am just wanting to get opinions.
The following boards are some of the ones that I am contemplating on getting they are pretty much all over the board from reverse camber, standard camber, lowrise to freestyle and all mountain boards. So overwhelmed..
Forum - Destroyer, Destroyer Chillydog, Youngblood, Youngblood Chillydog, Image.
Flow - Era
Ride - Machete, DH2
Rossignol - Scope, Decoy
Salomon - Salvatore Sanchez, Sanchez, Drift, Ace
K2 - Brigade, WWW Rocker, Darkstar, Turbo Dream
Thanks for the help.
Softer boards will be great to learn on and will be great in parks. However, they won't be so great if you become a freeriding addict.
I'm a freerider myself so my choices for you will be geared towards all-mountain
Ride: Machete <-- Even though this is one of the softer Rides, it is medium flex in general. This board is freestyle oriented, but is also a great all-mountain stick. I loved it.
K2: Turbo Dream is hands down the best out of your list. I would be torn between this board an a SlayBlade.
Another board to consider is the Burton Custom V-Rocker. Great all-around board.
One thing to consider when looking into rocker tech is the profile. Lower profile rockers are the best choice for beginners. They are forgiving while maintaining stability. The boards above have a low profile rocker except for the Slayblade which has no camber at all. All great boards.
If you are unsure of whether or not you will hit the park, the Ride Machete and Burton Custom is your best bet. If you have 0 desire for park, go with the Turbo Dream or SlayBlade. Not that these boards are horrible in the park by any means.
FYI: Even if you are sure about something now, it is highly likely that it will change as you progress. Don't sweat it. Everyone needs a couple of boards in their quiver.
I can't comment on the boards, I really only know what I've ridden, but, if you end up thinking Burton Custom V-Rocker know that most (if not all) new Burton are going to be set up for Burton's binding system.
I don't know if you can get plates for "regular" bindings.
If the profile and such of the Custom V-Rocker appeal to you (not to be a shill) check out the Sierra Reverse Crew. At $299 it makes your price point.
It's going to be tough finding a Machete.
You can get conversion plates for the Burton ICS system.
I forgot to mention, 154 is on the shorter end of the spectrum for you. 150-154 is park riding size for you.
I think you'll be more comfortable on a 156.
K2 Turbo Dream Snowboard - '09/'10 at REI.com
K2 Turbo Dream > Sierra Crew
turbo dream is one of the best boards i have ever ridden for park/mountain
Hey Guys,
Thank You for the replies. I have read a lot of great reviews of the Burton Custom V Rocker, but sort of shied away from Burton due to there EST binding setup and the cost. I wanted to stay with standard binding to have more flexibility with board choices. Really great information on your replies to consider. I am not sure if I will be doing to much park stuff, I will be mostly on all mountain groomed runs or when there is fresh powder at the ski resort. Wow, I didn't even consider a 156 size board. I thought it would be to big and heavy for me to maneuver on the mountain. One of my buddy that is about same height and weight rides a 153 GNU Park Pickle, unfortunately I was not able to test ride his board because his binding were to big. Well, I will take all your opinions into consideration. My buddies are beginners as well so their knowledge on different boards are limited.
How is the Sierra Snowboards compared to the band snowboards. I have read the reviews on their website and have great things to say about the board.
Wow, the price for the K2 Turbo Dream 156 at REI is a great deal. Also saw a GNU Riders Choice 154.5 on sale at REI. Decisions, decisions.
Worth reading:
Snowboard selection
Thanks for all the replies. I am going for the K2 Turbo Dream 156cm. I did take a look at a 156cm size board at my local shop and it measured up to my forehead ( almost as tall as me..), way passed the nose and chin guide lines. After looking at K2's website the 156cm is rated for my weight. Thanks again.
You have to remember, not everyone's nose, neck, chin, etc... are in the same position even when you are comparing two people of the same height. This is why that board measurement stuff based on where it reaches on your head falls apart.
You could comfortably go down to a 154 if you wanted. But I will tell you this much, for all-mountain purposes, the 156 is better. Especially since that is the smallest size they carry anyway. It's a killer deal too. Shocking considering that it's from REI :eek:
i was also thinking of K2 Turbo Dream, actually between Ride Antic and that..
i know i will definitely hit the park.. once i'm good enough to freeride :cool:
in that case, you would rather recommend Ride Machete over K2 Turbo Dream? i'm likely to spend more time freeriding this season but i don't want to be changing board every season if i don't have to
sorry for the hijack by the way

AMD Looking to Sell Texas Site As PC Sales Continue to Nosedive

It hopes to close the deal in Q2 2013
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is selling its Texas campus as a result of the sluggish PC market.
Chip maker AMD said it will sell and lease back its 58-acre Austin, Texas campus for $150 million to $200 million. It hopes to close the deal in Q2 2013.
This isn't the first sign of AMD's struggles. In
, the company's cash declined $279 million to $1.48 billion. Research firm Gimme Credit also downgraded its rating for AMD from "stable" to "deteriorating." Furthermore, it has been laying off engineers (about 15 percent of its workforce in October 2012) as it attempts to save some cash.
Why the troubles? Mainly because 85 percent of AMD's business relies on the PC market, and the PC market has been taking a hard hit in recent years.
Since the introduction of mobile gadgets like the smartphone and tablet, PCs have seen a strong decline in sales. Consumers want mobility, and these gadgets combine the power of PCs with the convenience of mobility. Hence, PCs have been down in the dumps.
AMD is currently looking to sneak into other markets in order to stay afloat. In late October, the chip maker announced it was
making 64-bit ARM processors
for multiple markets. It's starting with its
Piledriver Opteron 6300 Series
, which will replace the Bulldozer-equipped Opteron 6200 Series.
Just this month,
claimed that AMD was pursuing a sale
, but AMD denied it. It's currently looking into its options, but a sale isn't No. 1 on the list.
Intel has been in the same PC slump as AMD, but seems to be doing better through these hard times. It posted a better-than-expected
$3 billion USD profit in Q3 2012
, and has been working hard on its
22 nm Haswell architecture
to rival the likes of AMD. Haswell will launch in 2013.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

A woman who has a boob job and then has her coming-out party at a beach (ocean, public beach, or nude beach), usually with other boobutantes. This affair is referred to as a Boobutante's Ball.
She's obviously a boobutante. When I saw her at the beach with her obviously bigger chest, she admitted it--proudly: "Yep, I'm a boobutante"--and I'm going to the Boobutante Ball at Haulover Beach on October 21. You should come and see me and the other girls. You won't believe it." She pulled down her top and flashed me her beautiful new breasts, and I said, "I'll be there."

Calling it "a symbol that no longer serves its purpose," OccupyMaine protester Harry Brown burned the encampment's American flag at the stroke of 8 am Monday morning, as the city's clock tower rang out the deadline for Occupiers to remove their "structures and belongings" from Lincoln Park.
He may have been referring specifically to the camp's tattered flag itself, to the American flag as a guidon for democracy, or even the beacon of hope that has been "the republic for which it stands" (as the Pledge of Allegiance has it), is unclear - and likely intentionally so.
The protest that started in Monument Square on October 1 turns four months old today, and this morning Maine Superior Court Justice Thomas Warren ruled that the Occupation should not have temporary protection from eviction while its full complaint against the city of Portland is heard.
There's a birthday party at Lincoln Park at noon, and an emergency GA tonight, slated for the OM Dome, also in the park.
Making the rounds of the tubes is this video from New Orleans of Maine activist Emily Posner, now attending law school in the Big Easy, with what appears to be an original rhyme-poem about the #Occupy movement:
After being notified of a bomb threat involving the OccupyMaine encampment this morning, Portland police had bomb dogs check the park as well as the exteriors of the federal and county courthouses and the Central Fire Station, which surround the park. They found nothing.
Police Commander Vern Malloch said a statement with more detail will be forthcoming later today, but for the moment, he was able to say that another police department got a call from a resident of its town saying a friend of hers (who lives in another town, Malloch said) had made statements about putting a bomb in Lincoln Park.
It appears time to consider the possibility that the
pro-business, anti-public ethos that plagues American
politics has also started to infect Portland's
city council.
To wit: Most Portland
city councilors love to make deals with corporations, but have no interest in finding a way for people to protest
overnight in city parks, despite repeated attempts on the part of OccupyMaine
members, the city manager, the city attorney, and even a fellow councilor to
persuade them to try it.
We'd hope so, of course - we'd hope that the council would
behave equably toward all petitioners, from all quarters. We'll have to see
whether Portland's
councilors are up to that challenge, which is made sharper by the
anti-corporate nature of the Occupy movement's message.
A couple dozen folks came out in the rain - before it turned to sleet overnight - for the OccupyMaine "We Shall Not Be Moved" march, partly responding to the chemical bomb thrown at the camp over the weekend, and partly (and perhaps slightly ironically, considering the title and song choice for the march) marking the official, well, move of the Occupation from Monument Square to Lincoln Park.
Based on my observations, conversations, and reading of Occupation reports from around the globe:
Despite mainstream media incomprehension, the message of the Occupy movement is extremely clear and lucid. It is creating a parallel, alternative society that cares for humans, represents humans, and provides for humans - using systems free of corporate influence and corruption.
An explosion elsewhere in downtown Portland an hour before the bombing of the OccupyMaine tent side has police thinking that Sunday morning's attack was not necessarily targeting the protestors specifically, according to Acting Chief Mike Sauschuck. In a statement to reporters today, Sauschuck said there have been no arrests, but said investigators have some physical evidence of the bomb, which contained household chemicals and perhaps a reactive substance like aluminum foil in a plastic Gatorade bottle.
Here's the OccupyMaine announcement; we're working on finding out more, and will post here as available.
Press Release - Lincoln Park Campers AttackedEarly Sunday morning, around 4am, the members of the Occupy Maine camp at Lincoln Park woke up to a loud explosion. Witnesses who were awake said a car driving by slowed down, and lobbed an IED over the fence.
A protest will target Bank of America's Monument Square branch at noon today. Loosely affiliated with the Occupy movement, the effort will draw attention to corporate greed and Bank of America's high profits and low (or zero) tax bills, according to organizer Bill Digiulio. It is also in support of a resurfacing idea called the "Robin Hood Tax" or the "Tobin Tax," a tax on all financial transactions that could be used to fund bank-stabilization funds so taxpayers wouldn't be on the hook for any future bank bailouts.
The OccupyBangor Facebook page has a couple really interesting posts aimed at those who criticize the Occupy movement for its leaderless nature, and/or are unclear about its message. While everyone involved in the Occupy movement accepts that everyone has different reasons (or at least different priorities of reasons) for participating, these are good primers that will give you a good introduction into the thought processes and mindsets of many of the Occupy folks I've spoken with.
The folks at the OccupyMaine GA last night talked about a couple of interesting weather-related developments.
First, they're looking for an indoor space to serve as a warm, Internet-connected base for the winter. A couple prospects are out there, and cost and proximity to Monument Square are important. If you've got such a space (or - and this is my suggestion - know of an indoor public one that could be Occupied), drop them a line at occupymaine@gmail.

President Announces 2012 Budget Request for Career and Technical and Adult Education
President Obama announced his FY 2012 budget yesterday, framing a comprehensive and responsible plan that will put the country on a path toward fiscal sustainability in the next few years. Agencies and programs across the government are facing level funding, or even budget cuts. The budget calls for a five-year freeze on discretionary spending other than for national security. It requires tough choices since every decision to invest requires cuts somewhere else. Education is a priority for the administration, which views it as a prerequisite for prosperity as well as an obligation we have to the next generation for ensuring their success in a career and in life. Although these are challenging times, we must educate our way to a better economy by investing responsibly, advancing reform and demanding results. The administration is committed to investing in and improving our education system, continuing its commitment to protect students most at risk while supporting reform at the state and local levels.
A key administration goal in creating the FY 2012 budget is to maintain fiscal discipline by prioritizing programs that are best aligned with the president's education reform agenda. During FY 2012, in preparation for the Perkins Act reauthorization, the Department plans to promote reforms in career and technical education (CTE) that lay the foundation for strengthening CTE. Consequently, the president's FY 2012 budget request includes $1.0 billion for Career and Technical Education (CTE) State Grants, $160.9 million below the 2011 continuing resolution (CR) annualized amount. The administration is not requesting funds for Tech Prep Education State Grants and, instead, proposes to consolidate the program with the Career and Technical Education State Grants program to offer more flexibility to states. Funding for Career and Technical Education National Programs was preserved at the 2011 CR level of $7.9 million. The opportunity for reforms in CTE will open up real opportunities for students and ensure accountability for results. As Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said, "Career education is vitally important to America's future, but we need to strengthen and reform our programs before expanding them."
The administration is requesting $635.0 million for Adult Education State Grants, $23.3 million for Adult Education National Leadership Activities, and $17.2 million for Workforce and Community Transition Training for Incarcerated Individuals State Grants. The request for Adult Education State Grants is $6.8 million over the 2011 CR level. It makes $75million of the state grant amount available for integrated English literacy and civics education services to immigrants and other limited English proficient populations. It includes an 8 percent set-aside, equivalent to $50.8 million, for a new Workforce Innovation Fund, administered with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and in partnership with the Department of Labor. The fund will provide grants for projects that encourage innovation and validate effective strategies that improve service delivery and outcomes for beneficiaries under the Workforce Education Act (WIA). The request for Adult Education National Leadership Activities is $12.0 million over the 2011 CR level. Of the $12.0 million increase, $6.0 million would support a new impact evaluation of "college bridge programs" that assist adult learners in transitioning from adult basic education to postsecondary education and training. The remaining $6.0 million would support the development of a comprehensive technology infrastructure for adult learners and adult educators. The balance would provide continued support to the adult education and literacy field.

Patch Reaches #4 on the comScore Regional/Local List
Jan 10, 2012
We are thrilled to announce that Patch has become the #4 local and regional property, according to comScore's December rankings, up from #10 at the beginning of 2011. This UV growth continued in December despite a seasonal decrease among many other local and regional sites. Patch launched less than 3 years ago, and the average age of Patch sites is less than 14 months old - so you can imagine how proud we are of this accomplishment. It is truly a testament to the hard work of our teams in communities across America. Most importantly it shows that Patch continues to engage and connect with residents of towns, which, after all, is where our focus is day and night. Go Patch!

I heard parts of the Spartacus ballet music on my local classical radio station the other day and it was shocking because I was thinking, "what great music; it's not bland at all!" This season I've associated it with Mirai and her lifeless LP.
The choreography and music cuts certainly did no favors, but I totally agree that Mirai could have really worked it if she wanted to.
Who chose the music, though? Was it Nagasu? Or her team chose it for her?
ETA: the discussion about race and looks- it's her generic skating that's the problem, not her race or looks. She once stood out. She no longer does. Everyone else simply skates through the pieces instead of TO them, which is part of what separates the good skaters from the great ones.
Last edited by R.D.; 03-22-2012 at 05:59 PM.
I think her team - I remember her talking about choosing the tango herself but I'm pretty sure she didn't say that about Spartacus.
What do you think of chuckm's point above that she was fine in practices and did look trained?
In other words I THINK that contributed to her poor performance. Of course we don't know 100% but if commentary was restricted just to those who DO know, there'd be no GS or FSU, and for that matter, no reporters & analysts, right?But all this is a distraction from the main issue, and I think that is that she was undertrained for Nationals, for whatever reason.
You're right. I didn't really mean to single you out. There has been a lot of free-floating advice and judgment aimed at Mirai this season and it gets to me. Nothing like kicking someone when they're down.
And the poster above who opined that Frank Carroll should watch tapes of young MK ... ludicrous!
I see that alot on here. When a skater is doing well, that person is everyone's favorite. When they are doing poorly, everyone instantly wants them to quit. Its easy for everyone to jump on & off the bandwagon when you are an armchair critic. Ive seen it with numerous skaters depending on how the season is going: Czisny, Zhang, Mirai, Wagner, Zawadski etc. Everyone has up & down seasons. Did I like the music or choreography Mirai had this year? No. Will I continue to support her 100%? Yes. Im a fan thru thick and thin for whomever I like. Great & poor seasons alike.
As for Mirai, I hope this upcoming year she finds the spark she needs, gets some great music & choreography and fixes the training situation. She is an amazing talent and needs to find what works for her. Obviously treking back and forth to Palm Springs isnt helping her cause. I wish her the very best in the upcoming season.

Town Square
Menlo Park Sales Taxes are Not Recovering
Original post made by Worried, Menlo Park: The Willows, on Oct 25, 2006
WINKLER MIS-DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM: Winkler's simplistic analysis is that sales have waxed and waned with the boom and bust, that Menlo Park is (still after four years of her policies) "unfriendly", and her only policy, "streamlining", a euphemism for zoning liberlizations, will fix it.
ITS HIGH RENTS, STUPID: Retailers and sales tax producers are being driven out by high rents both downtown (car dealers) and in the east (light manufacturers.) Menlo Park office rents are and have been the highest in San Mateo County for a long time, and Menlo Park commercial property has fetched the highest prices ever on the West Coast. High rents and high land prices contradict Mickie's claim that there is no economic demand for businesses to locate in Menlo Park. If we are so unfriendly, why are we getting such high rents and property prices.
CASE STUDY: THE PARK THEATER. The owner terminated the lease on his tenant in the expectation of gaining future higher rents from office price. The tenant was willing to pay, and could afford only a slight rent increase. Forced vacancy had nothing to do with "unfriendliness."
HIGH RENT PAYERS PRODUCE LITTLE SALES TAX. RESULT: LOSS OF SALES TAX PRODUCERS: Sales tax revenues are down despite the recovery because there are fewer sales tax producers than there were before the boom. A sales tax producer exodus has occurred because businesses that do not generate sales tax are replacing those that do. Office conversions in the east and downtown, and now condo conversions on El Camino are replacing retailers and other sales tax producers with tenants (professional services) who can afford the rents but pay no sales taxes.
"STREAMLINING (ZONING LIBERALIZATION) MAKES IT WORSE: Property owners want to maximize their rents and property value, not sales tax for the city. Winkler and Duboc's zoning liberalizations make spec development easier, and therefore encourage property owners and developers to convert properties to non sales tax producing uses. The most prominent example is auto dealers, being replaced by offices and condos. Out went the car dealers, in came the condos. There is a net loss in sales tax, because Duboc and Winkler don't understand that commercial parcels that produce sales tax need to be preserved, and they need to add sales tax producers, and "the market" won't do that on its own.
THE PROBLEM WAS FORESEEN IN 1999: This was already known in 1999 by the city council who, then, were taking some actions to preserve sales tax producing zones. Those actions were abandoned in 2002 when Duboc and Winkler took office.

on Oct 25, 2006 at 3:49 pm
Well, I have to agree with Winkler on one thing -- it was darned unfriendly of Sandy Crittenden to boot Landmark from the Park Theater. Of course, he's from Atherton, so I'm not sure it can be chalked up to Menlo Park's unfriendliness.
Other than that, your points are all solid. Winkler's New, New, New Math for justifying her positions is just nuts.
a resident of Menlo Park: The Willows

Yeah, it was pretty unfriendly of Crittenden. Mickie's usual claim, though, is that the City is unfriendly to property owners. In Howard's case, the property owner was unfriendly to the tenant.

As an addendum: Information recently appearing elsewhere in the public forum, citing a memo given to council members by Finance Direct Carol Augustine, confirms that this year's (FY2006) sales tax revenue is down from last year and at a 13-year low.
The trend described above has been happening for more than a decade in Menlo Park, and citizen from both sides should move quickly to call for land-use policies that both protect and expand sales tax producers in Menlo Park. It is critical to the financial well-being of the city.
