Site divides Longview animal shelter panel
Glenn Evans
Dec. 5, 2012 at 10 p.m.
A Longview panel is on track to recommend its solution to the city's stray pet overpopulation next week after reviewing a draft letter Wednesday to the City Council.
The recommendation from the Animal Shelter Task Force is not likely to be unanimous - at least not on the proposed location for a new shelter.
"There's good and bad about both locations," committee Chairman Kenneth Glaze said during informal discussion after the meeting agenda had been exhausted. "If the city wants to decide which way it wants to go, fine."
Glaze was reacting to member Alicia Nolte, who opposes a site offered by the Humane Society of Northeast Texas. The nonprofit organization, which has operated the Longview animal shelter on Enterprise Street for about 30 years, is offering 4.3 acres near the Lear Park soccer fields that had been donated to the shelter.
Nolte voted against the site at a Nov. 28 meeting, preferring city owned acreage in the bustling shopping district near where Hawkins Parkway meets North Eastman Road.
That land was given to the city by the Cargill family to use as a park. The transfer is reversible if it is used for something else.
Siblings Bob Cargill and Paula Kaplan wrote a letter to the Longview News-Journal, published Nov. 27, saying they doubt the wisdom of approving a land-use change while the parties involved continue to disagree within their own ranks.
Cargill said after Wednesday's meeting that doesn't rule out the family donation being used for an animal center, but he repeated his and his sister's skepticism about the ongoing disputes.
"We're not going to approve anything until all the parties get together and, as you say, play nicely with each other," Cargill said.
Nolte is the founder of Fete for Pets, a nonprofit fundraising group she formed to establish a new animal center.
"Even if my group has to do a separate proposal (to the City Council), then that's what we'll do," she said. "I can't sleep at night knowing we're only going to add two days to these animals' lives."
Her last statement referred to the five-day stay an animal can expect in a 28,000-square-foot shelter such as is proposed in the committee's draft to the council.
Asked about Nolte's indication that Fete for Pets could go it alone, Cargill replied, "I haven't thought about that. I don't see any point in having two (shelters)."
The shelter on Enterprise keeps dogs and cats three days before they are put down. Interim shelter director Stuart Russell, a committee member, also reported Wednesday that 58 percent of the animals brought there are saved, up from a 23 percent save rate when she arrived there in July.
The draft letter also recommends devising a plan to achieve and maintain a high save rate.
The draft recommends beginning the process to hire a shelter manager immediately and that the facility be built with an eye toward expansion.
The shelter run by the Humane Society serves five counties, but the one proposed in the draft letter would serve only Gregg County and its cities. Committee member Kristen Ishihara, an attorney who will prepare the letter the committee will vote on next week, said after Wednesday's meeting that the consensus was to recommend the Lear Park site.
Committee members did not reach consensus on who the panel might recommend to operate the new shelter. Options range from the city to a nonprofit group to a contractor, though there was some skepticism that a private contractor could be found through the open bidding process the city must undertake.
The letter also will leave the cost of the facility up to the council.
The draft letter does recommend that each participating city contribute financially to the enterprise and appoint a representative to join its governing board.
The letter also recommends the new shelter establish a so-called trap-neuter-release program to help address the feral cat population. Neutering feral cats also is believed to lower those animals' aggressive natures.

Balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs
Stuetzer, Michael & Kaya, Maria (2011) Balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs. In Maritz, Alex (Ed.) Proceedings of the 8th AGSE International Entrepreneurship Research Exchange, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Vic, pp. 1275-1289.
View at publisher (open access)
This paper examines the effects and origins of balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs. In a first step we extend Lazear's jack-of-all-trades theory to formally model performance effects of balanced skills. In a second step we investigate potential sources of balanced skills related to the investment hypothesis and the endowment hypothesis. Analyzing data on 100 high-potential nascent projects, we find support for the hypothesis that balanced skills are an important factor for making progress in the venture creation process. Interestingly, none of the traditional human capital indicators such as prior managerial and entrepreneurial experience predict the progress of the project. However, they contribute to a balanced skill set, supporting the investment hypothesis on balanced skill origins. We also find empirical evidence for the endowment hypothesis suggesting that a balanced skill set is deeply rooted in the adolescent development and personality characteristics of the nascent entrepreneurs.

Mold on Basement Joists
About two years ago I had an L shaped area finished in the center of my basement -sheet rock ceilings. Builder used green board for all the sheet rock work. HVAC guys ran a few returns and heat and air in the finished area. Exterior Basement walls in this 7 year old house are poured concrete. There is a closet sized unfinished room with a door that remains closed off of the finished area. 3 walls of this small room are poured concrete and the other wall with the door is sheet rock. This small room contains the breaker boxes and also has plumbing to support the washer directly above on the 1st floor as well as the outside faucet. This room is becoming moldy. The wood joists are turning green. There is a small gap above the circuit boxes that would port into the space above the finished areas ceiling space that runs wires and cables. My questions are 1. how do we clean and stop permanently this small room from growing moldy and 2. have we now introduced mold to the sheet rocked area via the small gap that exists between the two rooms and if so what do we do to neutralize ? Thanks much.
Tough to tell about the mold spreading; you may have to dig in. Any way to ventilate this room and heat it up more? You need to keep the humidity below 50 or 60%. Washing w/ 10% bleach may get the mold; if that fails, call a specialist.
Hard to tell, however as mould is everywhere given the right conditions it will grow. That said, I have a 70 year old house where the people before us where growing plants in the basement, mould on all wall coverings and the concrete walls,
Just bleach didn't kill it, needs to be scubbed, we are still killing most but I do agree the humidity needs to be low

Apple Sued for Deceptive MacBook and MacBook Pro Advertising

Lawsuit claims LCD screens on Apple's current notebooks are not capable of millions of colors
Apple Inc. has been in and out of the courtroom a number of times
this year for patent infringements
product defects
mostly to defend its iPhone
. This week, Apple finds itself in the courtroom again, this time facing a class action lawsuit alleging the
LCD screens on its MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops are substandard
. The claim also alleges Apple advertised its screens as being superior, but knowingly shipped screens that did not meet its original claims.
The class action lawsuit points out the glossy screens Apple introduced with the launched of its MacBook last year. Apple advertised that the new glossy screens provided users with deeper blacks and whites that are more vibrant. However, many customers experienced graininess and sparkling effects common to dithering techniques, according to the lawsuit.
According to the complaint:
Many such dissatisfied purchasers were chastised by Apple agents and employees for being too picky about their assessments of the quality of the display. Other dissatisfied purchasers were told that they were imagining the complained about defects.
The complaint also points out that many of the disgruntled customers posted messages on Apple's own forums only later to have their posts moderated or completely removed by Apple forum administrators.
"It appears that Apple has engaged in substantial editing of the posts on the discussion forum," the lawsuit indicates.
The lawsuit alleges Apple uses dithering techniques to create an illusion of colors that don't actually exist. In fact, the lawsuit claims if a MacBook or MacBook Pro users installs Windows XP, they will notice superior image quality in areas such as gradients. The test seems to indicate Apple is using some sort of software at work in OS X.
"The displays are only capable of displaying the illusion of millions of colors through the use of a software technique referred to as 'dithering'," the lawsuit claims.
"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?... So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" -- Steve Jobs

About "I'm Single" by mezo
I'm Single
Design by mezo
Sorry. Again.
Weirdly, I spent a good portion of the weekend drawing unicycles. I'm not sure the pedals work as they're shown here- all the ones I've seen have one raised and one lowered and here it looks straight across (maybe it's an angle thing?). Anyway, looks great. I'm very fond of the color palette.
mjoo it looks to be the angle because i didn't see the straight across until you said something. mezo for a brief moment you got my hopes up. the design is of course, wonderful.
You can get a civil unicycle in vermont if youre into that sort of thing. $5
I LOL'd
i'd buy this for my boyfriend (a magician who desperately wants to learn to ride a unicycle) and i'd probably laugh out loud every time he wore it in public. Five5Dollaaaahs. =)
damn. i hope you can have 2 prints because i want the bunny one for my kids and this one for me.
would a couple be represented by a regular bike or by some kind of freaky tandem unicycle?
5$ because <del>you're</del> it's so handsome
oh typo, curses
This is precious and bold at the same time, $6.
Lovely illustration style!!
hahaha... even better use of exhibitionism!... and I mean that in a good way.
this is a cool style. i like the treads and the details on the pedals, seat, etc.
i thought you were married, well i mean if you're offering. but I am gone if your husband finds out.
This is great. I am single and always desired to ride unicycles (I was even comtemplating a cooking show when the chef rides on a unicycle the whole time and was dubbed the "Unichef" or something like that).
I forgot to mention that these colors are very pleasing to me.
This would feel good as I straddled its saddle.
Great linework & colours Steph.
it's a 5 w/o the scroll
scrolls rock. also, i hope lots of people in relationships will get the chance to piss off their partners by wearing this
o wow that's damned funny. Funnier if you are married or in a long-term relationship b/c you can always say "i aint talking about me. It's a true fact about the unicycle!" I love the action effects coming off of the pedals....4$
like it ^^
HA this reminds me of something that should already be on VintageVantage or something. LOVE
ehehehehe! is that a banana seat? $5

IRS lets taxpayers choose when to implement new tangible property regs.
New effective date for the regulations provides a good opportunity to review the complex rules again.
December 13, 2012
After much anticipation, in 2011 the IRS issued temporary regulations governing the treatment of tangible property. While the scope was far-reaching, the main intention of these temporary regulations was to provide taxpayers with standards for the capitalization and deduction of expenditures for tangible property.
When issued, the temporary regulations were made binding on taxpayers for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012, and taxpayers immediately began to analyze the impact of the adoption of these rules. However, the Nov. 20, 2012, issuance of Notice 2012-73 has given taxpayers a choice as to the implementation date, delaying the mandatory effective date until tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014.
On March 10, 2008, the IRS issued proposed regulations regarding the deduction vs. capitalization of tangible property expenditures. On Dec. 23, 2011, after receiving written comments and holding a public hearing, the IRS withdrew the 2008 proposed regulations and issued temporary regulations on this topic.
In response to taxpayer comments and in anticipation of finalizing the regulations in 2013, the IRS announced, in Notice 2012-73, that the temporary regulations will now apply to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014, although taxpayers can choose to implement the regulations for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012. The final regulations, when issued, will also apply to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014, and taxpayers will have the option to apply them to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012.
Furthermore, Notice 2012-73 stipulated that certain areas of the temporary regulations may be revised when issued in final form. These areas include the de minimis rule, dispositions of tangible property, and the safe harbor for routine maintenance.
Areas of emphasis
The broad scope of the tangible property regulations affected taxpayers in a number of areas. As currently issued in their temporary form, the main areas of emphasis surrounded the tax treatment of:
Although often referred to as the "repair regulations," these standards are, in fact, much more comprehensive. Among the many areas affected, the regulations provide guidance on the definition of a unit of property, notably stipulating that the unit-of-property determination is based on a functional interdependence standard. This functional interdependence test must be applied when determining if an amount paid to improve tangible property can be expensed in the year incurred or must be capitalized and depreciated over a specified recovery period. In most situations, components of property that are functionally interdependent (i.e., the relationship between the components is such that they are dependent upon each other to function) will be deemed a single unit of property. Generally, the larger the unit of property, the more likely the expenditures will be deemed deductible current-year repairs under Sec. 162. While the regulations do provide standards for the unit-of-property definitions for certain types of property, including plant property, network assets, buildings, and leased property, taxpayers should note that the functional interdependence test will often be based on the facts and circumstances.
Additional areas covered by the temporary regulations include:
In addition to the guidance discussed above, the regulations also provide rules for depreciation and disposal of capitalized property. In particular, this portion of the regulations provides guidance pertaining to:
What to do now
While Notice 2012-73 does provide a choice as to when to implement the regulations, taxpayers that have not previously taken action should begin to do so. In many cases, accounting method changes, through the filing of Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, will be required in order to comply with these rules. Recognizing the administrative complexity that would result from the implementation of these regulations, the IRS issued the following revenue procedures to provide guidance to affected taxpayers:
The IRS has promised further accounting method change guidance when the final regulations are issued.
Notice 2012-73 gives taxpayers choices when to implement the tangible property regulations. While taxpayers can apply the temporary regulations to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012, taxpayers may also await the issuance of the final regulations, thus implementing the rules for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014. While significant changes to the temporary regulations are not anticipated, Notice 2012-73 does refer to certain areas that may be revised. Irrespective of the implementation date, taxpayers should make themselves aware of the broad impact of these regulations.

Its not often an album Ive never heard before makes me nostalgic for my high school days, let alone one that came out last year and is sang partly in Japanese. But so it was with Toyboxs five-song EP, Five Seconds To , which really took me back. Despite the fact that its Toybox is three ASU Japanese-exchange-students-turned-locals, and perform some of their songs in Japanese, they sound like the bands all my friends were in during my school days, old school pop-punkers of the 924 Gilman Street persuasion.
Listening to the opening chords of 5 to Take Off, which sound a lot like NOFXs Linoleum, Im back at a CD release party at Euro Gyro in Kent, Ohio, listening to some dude explain how hes going to buy a real Stratocaster with the proceeds of the night. On One Day, One Step singer Yoheis off-pitch vocals and unfussy lyrics (I think your dark hair was cool, but I think your red hair is cool too) carry on the ascetic, which works particularly well with a catchy little melody. The nasal-crooned ballad You and Me is Toyboxs No One Knows. The closer, Kotae, is sang in Japanese (English lyrics helpfully provided in the liner notes) and has another catchy chorus.
From the feeble black and white cover to the sub lo-fi production, Five Seconds To is a testament to how little things have changed for DIY punks in the 10 years since I graduated high school, and theres something reassuring about that. I found the EP endearing, if nothing new or spectacular, and theres something truly nice about that.

There were only ever two pieces of 'evidence' taht indicated there may have been a Big Bang - doppler shift and the Hubble constant. The interpretations of both these pieces of evidence have been called into question and, indeed, discredited by proponents of the electric univers e theory and others. Astronomer/astrophysicist Halton Arp in particular demonstrated that the red shift of galaxies and quasars can be due to other factors entirely aside from recession. Thus there is no evidence that the universe is exoanding from any primordial point.
As you sa, mathematics may be pretty but that doesn't mean we live in the world it describes.
Similarly, there are so many sources of saucers that no individual explaqnation can be definitive.

The only conclusion I have come to is our species imagines it is conscious and that as Arthur C Clarke said, information alone does not lead to knowledge or wisdom. The postulates of science are always being rewritten even though they are presented as laws. It was Clarke who said the more esteemed and venerated scientist says that such and such is impossible, the more likely it is to be true. As the oceans die off and the weather becomes extreme, the more evident it is that we are not conscious. Watch television for fifteen minutes.
On the political side I think of PD Ouspensky who said because everyone is responsible, nobody is..Ah, the paradoxes of feigned rationality and of course none of this prevents opinions poised as conclusive arguments.
...I have concluded, after years of media research, that 'Barney Hill' becomes 'Darth Vader'.... that 'Jacques Vallee' becomes 'Francois Truffaut'...and finally, the 'Amazing Randi' has morphed into the 'Blogging Randle....
(...and a happy new year wish for you)
Thank you KP...
Have a Happy, nutty New Year, and I know you will.
From my modest standpoint, mathematics generally is based on a set of principles, theorems, that have been proven to be consistent with outcomes over time.
What can be said of the guiding principles and theorems of the UFO phenomena?
Ufology is devoid of real theorems and principles, Tim. We all know that.
But today's science is hardly better: a cacophony of bizarre hypotheses, underbounded by mathematics, which simulate nature's reality, but actually proves nothing substantial about reality.
Mathematics are symbolic of what is, but isn't really what is.
Math for science is what speaking in tongues is for evangelical Christians.
> science ... actually proves nothing substantial about reality
A little hyperbolic, maybe?
When discussing the origins of the universe and branes and strings, yes, science sounds plain nutty. Even if some cosmological speculations are correct, the scientists certainly can't prove it (and maybe never will).
However, when it comes to aspects of reality with which we interact, science does a pretty good job. In recent centuries we've learned about germs, electricity, blood components, neurons. And though there have been mistakes and misapplications (and occasional malice), that knowledge has allowed us to have healthier and safer lives.
And that's where science and ufology part company:
Have mountains of UFO evidence, decades of investigations, and forests of publications given us ONE bit of new scientific knowledge?
Hyperbolic, in a way.
But if there is a reality that differs from the reality we surmise is our reality, then science has proven nothing substantial, has it?
> science has proven nothing substantial, has it?
Hand soap, safe sex, aspirin ... just a few simple but real scientific achievements that have made my life healthier and safer.
Perhaps you are defining "reality" to include metaphysics?
I'm talking about "science" in the context of the Through the Wormhole shows cited.
The science you bring to the discussion, confuses the issue and is not pertinent to my point.
That's one of the problems of ufology; we all spread debate beyond the bounds of the topic under discussion.
Richard Hall was exquisitely peeved by the lack of logical discourse among UFO folks.
I'm with him about that.
Perhaps it is this need to know about unknowable grand abstractions that cause people to turn away from everyday reality and seduce them into exploring mythic "realities" such as mysticism and UFOs.
I'm not against creativity and speculation about reality. But I should point out that when Plato started writing about mathematics, it all went sideways. Questions gave way to long speeches; moral debates were replaced by speculations on the realm of forms and the transit of souls.

building a CBB 454 from scratch ...
Hi everybody!
I´m thinking of replacing the 429 cui engine of my 1964 Cadillac
SDV with a more reliable and cheaper Chevy 454 ...
I think i need a big block because the car weigh 2700 kilo,
and that takes alot of torque to move that around ...
I´m going to start with an empty block, or a short block,
and build a complete engine, with alu heads and a 4bbl carb
to start with ..
Later i´m thinking of a turbocharger and injection ...
Now i need all the help you can give me about selecting a block, heads,
induction and so on ...
Thanks in advance!
Honestly, i wouldnt put in a BBC, id go for a 500 caddy and a pair of garret TB04 at 6-8 pounds of boost, that will net you over 600 BHp and save over 100 pounds of weight, not to mention all your accessories will bolt right up. (allong with your transmission)
I am all for BBC (have 2, one in my impala and 1 in the roadster) but you are adding alot of problems by going with a chevy in a caddy instead of staying with the 429/500
unfortunatly there are a few problems;
#1: Caddy parts are expensive.
#2: Caddy parts are hard to find.
#3: Caddy parts that are better than stock is impossible to find.
#4: I dont want to buy a lot of parts that are impossible to sell.
Please note that i live in Sweden ...
If i lived in the states i would probably build a Cad. 500 cui,
that would be cool ...
But here in Sweden its hard to find a Cad. Eldorado 500 cui (or
any 500 cui btw) and they cost more then a complete 454 ....
the accessories is not a problem, i have no options at all ...
nothing that´s connected to the engine anyway .... all i need is
a pump for the steering servo ...
dont get me wrong, a Cad 500 is a good idea, if i could buy the
parts somewhere near ....
please tell me more about the 454´s
i dont know where in sweden you live, but check with USA bildelar Osby, tel: 0479 13500 they propably have a couple on hand, or try www.nitroz.se
a good 454 will cost you over 50.000 sek before you are done ordering parts, or 25.000 sek for a goos running engine.
and if you are going to run turbos anyway, stick with the 429 caddy. it has the potential for producing so much horsepower on boost that you will blow transmissions faster than you can say saab.
you can send me a PM and ill e-mail you with some specifics on addng a turbo to your setup.
id think that a turbo from a volvo or scania truck would cost 1500-2500 Sek and the rest is just your own time and ingenuity, byt it can be done fur under 6000 Sek for complete turbo setup and the Hp is just a matter of adjustng boost and changing jets in the carb (if you tave the electronic controlled carb, you can add a megasquirt EFI for arround 4000 Sek including injectors and fuelpump)
the problem is that Cad 429 cui are known for making big ugly
holes in pistons .... and they cost 1000 sek (130$) per piece.
i have compression ratio 10.5, and i guess that´s to much
to add any pressure at all ....
besides, i want to build a an engine .. have´nt rebuilt a V8 yet ..
just a few Volvo B20 ...
i did some calculating, and i suppose i´d have to spend about
60.000 SEK (8000$) on the engine.
at the end i will think that it´s worth it ..

shifter removal
Hey guys just wondering how do i remove the shifter top. I am wanting to make a new one out of billet aluminum in my CAD/CAM next semester at my tech school on our 4 axis mill.
Re: shifter removal
okay I am feeling a little special...I have had a new SRT8 shifter for a week and can't figure out how to remove my stock one or even get the chrome ring off my new one. Any tips? Should I just jam a plastic trim tool inbetween the shifter and chrome bezel to separate like in the pic below? And I get to put in D for the one on my rig, but I can't even get a 90 degree trun out of it...thoughts? What am I doing worng?
Re: shifter removal
Hold the shift knob in one hand and the chrome ring in the other. Give it a quarter turn and it will loosen enough to remove
