Notes on a Scandal
Considering its high profile as both play and film, it wouldnt be unfair to assume that everyone knows that Frost/Nixon is about the series of televised interviews between former President Richard Nixon and talk-show personality David Frost. Even people too young to recall the interviews, which aired in this country in 1977, have certainly become aware (thanks to the plays grand showing at this years Tony Awards and the films several Oscar nods) that the Frost interviews were as close as Nixon got to an admission of guilt regarding his role in the Watergate scandal. But maybe not. According to a recent Internet survey, 23 percent of those polled thought that it was a musical about political warfare set in wintertime, and 12 percent thought it was a play about actress Cynthia Nixon being pissed off.
Regardless of what you think it may be about, the road company of Peter Morgans Frost/Nixon, starring Stacy Keach and Alan Cox, is worth your time.

Chapter 5Mature
Hannah Aines runs her hands through her hair. She gets up, paces, sits down. She looks at me, looks away. She tries to pretend she's okay. She's not. And she trembles.
"I'm going to have to call the police, Clara." Panic.
"What! No, no! You said you'd help me! You said you'd listen, said I could tru... trust..." I can't breathe. I try to suck in air, I order my body to open my airways and take in oxygen. I need it; I'm suffocating. But I can't - they close up and I feel like I'm drowning. My senses are dull, I can hear my blood pumping. I can hear Cynthia screaming at me, she's pounding on the inside of my skull. I'm shaking uncontrollably and my vision is starting to go black. I vaguely feel the needle penetrate the delicate flesh of my arm before I'm enveloped in a soft, grey cloud of nothingness and I slip away, only to wake up later on. Still in the office of Dr Aines. And she's still pacing.
I hear her footfalls. I take it by her nervous shuffling that she hasn't called the police. I breathe in sharply, and she rushes over. Checking I'm okay. It was a panic attack. In this heaving, groaning hive of insanity, it's something she's faced with every day. I try to sit up, but she pushes me back down.
"Rest," she says.
"I can't rest. I need to tell you what happened. You can't call the police, they can't help me." I'm trying to remain calm, but my words are starting to escape faster. Cynthia is agitated - I feel the slight humming in my head that signals that she's watching me. Very closely. Don't tell her. She doesn't say it but I can feel her thinking it. I can feel her contemplating how to punish me should I 'fail her'. I can still hear my heartbeat.
Hannah Aines sighs.
"Very well. I guess you better sit up and explain then."
"The book. We got the book. It was in his coffin... The wood was so old and rotten that it crumbled like dry dirt. The spade broke through it easily, and I wrested it from his fingers. I remember his bones... the skeleton was grinning at me. It wasn't pearly white like storybook skeletons. It was a greyish sort of ivory, and though it had no eyes..." I swallowed, hard. "I knew it was watching me. I knew... I knew his spirit was watching. From below."
"I'm an atheist."
"So was I." I took a deep breath and carried on. "We broke into the monastery. It was dark as dark, apart from the moonlight beaming through the ancient, stained-glass. It was so cold; it chilled my bones and set me shivering. Cynthia told me what I had to do." She's starting to beat against my head again. "I... I took a crucifix from the wall and laid it on the altar, inverted. I tore a few pages from the Bible Cynthia had told me to bring, and I cut my arm. The thick blood poured onto the pages and the inverted cross, and something... changed. Something shifted. I didn't know then, but the barrier between here and the... other worlds had weakened. Finally, I opened the book. It was written in latin - I could barely pronounce the words but Cynthia helped me. All the time I was reading, I felt a darkness spread through me. Not just the absence of light, but something else. Something perverse. Something... wrong." I shuddered at the memory.
"It grew noticably darker. A thick mist began to grow as I read, and I thought I heard thunder. There wasn't any lightning. Fear had begun to take hold of me, and I tried to stop but I couldn't. My lips were no longer in my control, and that's the first time she... took over. I felt myself pushed to the back of my consciousness. And then he appeared. I remembered hearing stories of the Devil. That He was twenty feet tall, red as blood, had horns and wings, black and leathery. Like a bat. But it's not true. He was probably about six feet tall. He was as human looking as you or I, but there was this... aura about Him. This sickening, terrifying presence and I knew. I knew straight away that it was Him. He had a bandage over His eyes, but I could still tell that He was looking straight at me. And when He spoke, He didn't move His lips. The sound seemed to be coming from everywhere, from all around me, and from in my head. It felt like it does when Cynthia talks to me, but His voice is the softest whisper."
"The Devil appeared before you."
"Yes. He asked what Cynthia wanted. She told him. He named His price, and she gave Him my soul. I felt a part of me die, that day. I felt weak, like someone had tied a string around my heart and was pulling it away from me. My head felt light, like I'd stood up too fast. And then, just like that, it was all over. He was gone. I was back in control. I asked Cynthia what had happened. She said I was hers now."
You are mine now. I own you. I can do whatever I want. I can hurt you. I can hurt her. I could kill you, but then where would I go? Oh, the possibilities are endless! But freedom, true freedom - that is not yet mine. And you will help me, Clara.
"She's trying to make me free her. She doesn't know how yet; we have to stop her. Dr Aines, please. You have to help me stop her. She's killed people - children! It's got to stop and I can't do it alone."
"I don't know how you expect me to help you, Clara."
"I need to get out. I need to get back to the monastery, and I need to undo whatever she did." Suddenly, I can hear another voice. It's sweet and melodious, but it's in my head - like the Devil, like Cynthia.
"There is a way," it whispers. "There is a mirror in that monastery. It allows crossings."
"There's a mirror," I tell Dr Aines. "I have to find the mirror."
"It will show you how to do it. You must destory your demon. You must destroy that which is trying to destroy you," the voice sang.
"I have to use it to destroy her. Then I'll be free." I look up at her, my eyes swimming with tears. "I need your help." She looks away. "Dr Aines. Hannah." She turns to face me. "Please."
She sighs heavily and rubs her eyes.
"Alright. I'll help you."

Afternoons in the Crescent City
I've already forgotten, but your story intrigued me so.
You see, I feel like I've known this man. Yes, long ago, when I was young and eager for mischief - of the innocent, girlish sort, you know. Yes, I knew this man. He wore his slacks and shirt well-pressed as well, most of the time, when he wasn't celebrating his own youth and the spring budding of the magnolias in the nude as the sea breezes played across the deep green, glossy leaves. Yes, stark naked he was when our eyes first met. I knew then I had to have him.
He had the gentle manner and bearing of a southern baron, which, as you've remarked, he was, heart and soul. He reminded me much of an old well-bred mare, fed many seasons on the golden hay of an excellence found only in the south. And he possessed the rhythm of the heavy laden cornstalks in the summer storms.
I remember our final meeting that summer, before I went away for the season. He strained his pinky toe as he held the screen door open for my three kittens, as his other appendages were otherwise occupied. We lay there on the polished oaken floors for what seemed like a few moments, passing our last day in ecstasy.
How did you two meet again? I do so love to hear that particular story.

Arizona man drowns in rough surf off Cocoa Beach
COCOA BEACH, Fla. - Officials said an Arizona man drowned while swimming in rough surf off Cocoa Beach on Sunday.
The incident happened in the ocean near the Ocean Landings Resort, according to officials.
Rip currents that have been creating dangerous conditions in the water are being blamed for the man's drowning.
"I tried to see if I could help, he confirmed that he needed help. I tried to hold on with him as long as I could but the waves are just too much," explained witness Melanie Lee.
Police have identified the victim as 66-year-old William Clifford of Tempe, Arizona. Clifford was rushed to Cape Canaveral Hospital, where he later died.
Officials in both Volusia and Brevard County said they've had to rescue dozens of people from the rough water this weekend.

Merck Serono Pays Affectis €2.4M Up Front in Deal for Neurodegenerative Disease
Affectis will receive €2.4 million in up-front payments and research funding from Merck Serono as part of an agreement to develop oral neurodegenerative disease therapies targeting the P2X7 receptor. The deal gives Merck Serono worldwide exclusive rights to develop and commercialize selected compounds, and includes a research collaboration focused on optimizing P2X7 antagonists. Affectis could receive up to €277 million in milestone payments for the first three products developed through the partnership.
P2X7 is an ATP-gated ion-channel receptor involved in the maturation and release of proinflammatory cytokines, and is located in brain cells that are activated by high levels of ATP during neuroinflammation, Affectis states. The firm is focused on the development of drugs for the treatment of psychiatric and neuroinflammatory disorders.
Its lead P2X7 antagonist candidate, AFC-5128, is a brain-penetrating oral compound currently in preclinical development for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuropathic pain. Prior to the announcement of its deal with Merck Serono, the firm was projecting making an IND filing for AFC-5128 and starting Phase I trials with the drug during 2011. A second P2X7 candidate, AFC-5261, is also in preclinical development.
Affectis' lead clinical candidate, cimicoxib, is in development for the treatment of major depression, and recently completed a Phase IIa clinical trial demonstrating benefits over placebo and higher remission rates.

Thanks for helping!
We have been here a 1/2 dozen times over the years. The food is always good and the staff is friendly.
From the wait staff to the food attitude long wait for the food .Tried it once and now again low quality food fruit from a jAr
Stopped in with the family. It was nice to walk in and be seated right away. Crowded but lots of room. My chorizo and cheese omelette was good. I ordered my home fries well done and they accommodated. I would go back.
We are new to the area, so we are exploring local eateries. Fortunately for us, Kelly's was open on Easter Sunday. We were greeted and seated immediately in a traditional and comfy corner booth with menus and a specials sheet. Our coffee came immediately as we decided what to order. We placed our order, and our coffee was refreshed before...
The hallmark of a great breakfast/lunch eatery is its ability to serve good, inexpensive food quickly. Such was not the case at a recent lunch visit to Kelly's. The food was fine, though not extraordinary. But the 40 MINUTE WAIT for our simple orders (two eggs with bacon & the sandwich-of-the-day) to arrive was not acceptable. Yes, it was busy....
Very pleasant,good breakfast reasonably priced. Good pumpkin pancakes!!! Great place to see all your friends and neighbors
Our family -- 7 of us -- had a late breakfast at Kelly's this morning. If we had read the recent reviews, we would not have gone. Luckily for us, the experience was totally positive. Good coffee, French toast, hugely generous.
Food is decent, had what's called the Arizona omelette if I remember correctly, but I didn't like how the waitress spoke to my mother. I was there with my mom and the waitress was rude to her (75 yr old) right in front of me. Brutal.
I love a dive-y breakfast place as much as the next guy. But the food here was SO greasy and onion-y that my wife and I both left feeling pretty gross. I'd much rather drive a little further and hit up Zachary's in Stoughton.
Over priced for below average food.
Corn beef hash should not be a soggy pile of canned glop.
Potatoes were well seasoned but also soggy.
Strawberries on waffle were canned and unappetizing.
Had to wait at the counter to pay for food while the hostess gabbed at the other end of the room. Ended up leaving the money and walking...

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 772820
Notification message wraps despite having sufficient width
Last modified: 2013-03-03 21:22:08 EST
Description of problem:
In translation editor, when the browser window is narrow or the project/document name is long, notification messages (e.g. save notifications) wrap to 2 or more lines and are not fully visible as they extend below the blue bar. There appears to be sufficient space to the right of the save notification so it should not need to wrap.
When viewing a multi-module project with long path names, 1600px was sufficiently narrow to cause wrapping, and the notification was completely invisible with widths less than 1500px.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Varies with document path length
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document with long path names
2. Reduce the browser width
3. Save changes to a translation unit
Actual results:
Notification displays wrapped and partially visible, or not at all.
Expected results:
Notification is completely visible when browser width is 1024px or greater.
Additional info:
Document path/name also appear to be cut short sometimes.
Bug is not reproducible with notification interface changed in 1.7.
New notification display is a windows on top right side with scroll if too long.

Robert just posted the 3rd video, it can be found here.
At 1 min 30 secs into video 3 we recieved confirmation that you do in fact work for microsoft.
"a whole bunch of REALLY NEW COOL …"
How cool and exchange got into the same sentence I'll never know, but this phrase is used bt every MS employee of any nationality at EVERY public function. I've been checking for years.
You've got to be an under-the-covers geek like me to understand why things like per-property ACLs and security roles are cool, but trust me, they really are.
Another cool feature: reliable direct simultaneous filesystem access to the message store.
And we couldn't get any of them working without switching to the NT security model (because it was that much more flexable).
Now this stuff isn't as glitzy as a new UI feature, but in the world of under-the-covers systems (which is where I live all the time), it's really cool.
My comment is mostly about the phrase "REALLY NEW COOL" as I check every MS public function for a speaker who DOESN"T say this. I've yet to come across one.
Plumbing is important as everything else springs from that. Still an audio driver is not something that is considered kewl (how young people say cool). Likewise in an army, the trucks that enable an army to do anything (incl eating) aren't considered cool despite the fact no trucks means tha army can't do anything except starve to death (though if smart they'll desert). An army is fine without a tank or a helicopter but needs trucks. I'm not aware of any web sites about supply trucks.
An audio driver can be pretty cool, just like a new layout for an ACL can be cool. It's not eye candy, but it's cool 🙂
It depends on your point of view.

Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy has landed the lead role on the sale of the listed German television broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1.
The Lawyer understands that the US firm has teamed up with Hogan & Hartson to advise ProSieben on the potential sale of the company to Axel Springer. Hogan is believed to be advising ProSeiben on competition and regulatory issues.
According to reports, ProSieben's majority stakeholders are poised to open negotiations on the sale of their stake. Axel Springer already holds a 12 per cent stake in the target company.
The sale is now possible because the creditors of the company's defunct former owner Kirch last week removed a lock-up clause that prevented an earlier sale.
The consortium, which bought the majority stake in ProSieben after Kirch's collapse in 2002, has agreed to pay Kirch's creditor's $15m (£7.8m) to remove the clause.
It is understood that Kirch's administrator Michael Jaffé is being advised jointly by German firms Görg and Nörr Steifenhofer Lutz.
The deal will be watched closely in the German market because, according to a source close to the deal, if negotiations kick off then it will turn into a huge media battle resulting in offers coming in from other potential bidders.

Dairy farms in Ireland need far more staff to hit 2020 goal
NewsWednesday 23 January 2013
The Irish Independent reported yesterday (22/01/2013) that Irish dairy farms will require an additional four to five thousand trained staff in order to achieve the goals that were set out in Food Harvest 2020.
Michael Murphy, a well-known Cork dairy farmer, spoke to the paper and said that there is a large skills shortage in the dairy sector which needs addressing.
He went on to say that between 2,000 and 3,000 people were currently employed on dairy farms. However, he maintained that if the target of a 50pc growth in milk production by the end of the decade was to be realised, then that number would need to rise to between six and seven thousand.
Speaking at the Positive Farmers Conference in Limerick, Mr Murphy warned that suitable trained workers were not "on the shelf".
While he accepted that the new Teagasc dairy management course in Clonakilty would deliver the right calibre of staff, he warned there were not enough "people in the pipeline".

Prominent GOP Figure Endorses Gay Marriage
Republican Senator Rob Portman has announced his support for same-sex marriage, saying he reversed his position on the divisive social issue after his son came out as gay.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," Portman wrote in an op-ed published Friday in the Columbus Dispatch.
"That isn't how I've always felt. As a congressman, and more recently as a senator, I opposed marriage for same-sex couples. Then something happened that led me to think through my position in a much deeper way," Portman wrote in the op-ed.
The decision came after long consideration, the Ohio lawmaker told newspapers from his home state on Thursday. Portman's 21-year-old son Will, who is a junior at Yale University, discussed his sexual orientation with Portman and his wife in 2011, the senator said.

I've been so out of practice (only with the blogging, the eating gets a good workout) that I keep forgetting to take good pictures for the blog. While its been some time since I last blogged it hasn't even been 48hrs since I last ate out. New office, computer and windows 10 means I have few excuses left to not tell you all of the amazing eateries we now have in Perth.
Go to Sprolo. It was good and delivered on its mission statement which incorporates bringing interesting food combinations to the people of Perth. We nipped in for quite a late brunch and were amazed to get a table despite the place being so busy and buzzy. In fact the hum surprisingly drowned out busy Canning Highway on which Sprolo is located. The décor was simple and in keeping with the current trend of naked lightbulbs with brass fittings and a slightly industrial look. The walls, for some reason, were decorated with framed, deconstructed electric guitars and a single eukelele. Some things are best left to the imagination.
One of my dining companions, although keen to try the much touted traditional Singaporean breakfast was a little apprehensive of the combination of Kaya and eggs. To her surprise it was more than well matched; the soft creamy sous-vide eggs and the house-made coconut jam were beautifully synced on toast with a dash of dark soy sauce as the ribbon to tie the package together.
The avocado on cornbread was tasty and healthy.
My choice, however, of pork belly in a waffle sandwich with crispy lettuce, tomato and mayo had to be the epitomy of brunch luxury and I really didn't want to share but thankfully it was large enough that I actually had to share just to finish it! Heart stoppingly good. I did check my pulse a few times just in case my creaking burdened arteries really did think that this was the last straw.
The drinks were no less interesting and curious. We ordered the vibrant green pandan hazelnut latte (no coffee) which smelled divine and (I'm told) tasted even better. There was also a Salted caramel Gula Melaka latte on the menu – apparently this is good on its own and better with a shot of espresso – or so one of the friendly staff told us. We were too full to try it but as luck would have it they sell their own bottles of housemade Kaya jam and the Gula Melaka which means we could get a sample to try at home when bellies are fully recovered from the brunch onslaught. We even bought a couple of bottles for pressies.
I was impressed at how full and lively the place was on a stormy Saturday morning and would definitely recommend heading there to try some Asian inspired inviting and interesting flavour combos for a great way to start a lazy weekend. The menu changes regularly and the breakfast menu is all-day with the lunch kicking in at 11am. Go hungry.

Hey there! Have you evaluated? Is that site good enough to cite?
Hmmm. This one looks good. How can I tell for sure?
It's okay to be confused ! ·There are billions of websites out there ·Many of them are not worthy of your time and don't belong in your bibliographies! ·Sometimes it's very hard to tell treasure from trash ·Sometimes Web developers don't want you to understand the difference
Remember: Anyone can publish anything on the Web! It is your job, as a researcher, to look for quality!
Okay, so how do we know if a site is good? Yeah, and how can we be sure our teacher will think it's good enough to cite?
Think of CARRDSS ·C REDIBILITY / AUTHORITY ·A CCURACY ·R ELIABILITY ·R ELEVANCE ·D ATE ·S OURCES BEHIND THE TEXT ·S COPE AND PURPOSE
C REDIBILITY / AUTHORITY : Who is the author? What are his or her credentials? Education? Experience? Affiliation? Does the author's experience really qualify him or her as an expert? Does he or she offer first-hand credibility? (For instance, a Vietnam veteran or a witness to Woodstock?) Who actually published this page? Is this a personal page or is it part of the site belonging to a major institution? (Clues pointing to a personal page: ~ tilde, %, users, members) Is the page hosted by a free server like AOL, Tripod, Geocities?
But what if I can't find any author information?
Look for credibility clues! ·Words and phrases to look for: ·About us, Who Am I, FAQs, For More, Company Information, Profiles, Our Staff, Home ·E-mail the author ·If you have no information other than an e-mail link, write a polite e-mail asking for more information.
More credibility clues (What do others think?) Do a link check ·In Google or AltaVista typeGoogleAltaVista link:siteaddress ·Your results will show which other sites have chosen to link to this page. If respectable institutions have linked to a site, that provides a clue about the site's credibility. Does the site appear in major subject directories like Librarian's Index to the Internet (lii.org)?
Truncate the URL Delete characters in the address line up to the next slash mark to see if a main page offers more information about who is responsible for publishing the page you are interested in. Go from: ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages/chaucer/smith.htm ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages/chaucer ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history/middleages ·http://www.statecollege.edu/history ·http://www.statecollege.edu
Still more credibility clues If you have an author's name but no further information about credentials, ·Search the name in quotation marks in a search engine or online database ·On the Web, include words like profile, resume, or C.V. (curriculum vitae--an academic resume) to narrow your name search ·You might also include the name of a college or association you can connect with the person ·Search the name in biographical sources on- and offline ·Ask your teacher-librarian for help
A CCURACY: ·Can facts, statistics, or other information be verified through other sources? ·Based on your knowledge, does the information seem accurate? Is the information inconsistent with information you learned from other sources? ·Is the information second hand? Has it been altered? ·Do there appear to be errors on the page (spelling, grammar, facts)?
Practice checking for accuracy with a few of these sites! ·Clones-R-Us http://www.d-b.net/dti/http://www.d-b.net/dti/ ·California's Velcro Crop Under Challenge ·http://home.inreach.com/kumbach/velcro.htmlhttp://home.inreach.com/kumbach/velcro.html ·Facts About Series ·http://www.idiotica.com/cranium/encyclopedia/index. htm ·Republic of Cascadia: Bureau of Sasquatch Affairs ·http://zapatopi.net/bsa.htmlhttp://zapatopi.net/bsa.html ·Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division ·http://www.donotcall.gov/register/Reg.aspxhttp://www.donotcall.gov/register/Reg.aspx ·For more examples: http://mciu.org/~spjvweb/evaluating.html http://mciu.org/~spjvweb/evaluating.html
R ELIABILITY: Does the source present a particular view or bias? Is the page affiliated with an organization that has a particular political or social agenda? Is the page selling a product? Can you find other material to offer balance so that you can see the bigger picture? Was the information found in a paid placement or sponsored result from the search engine? Information is seldom neutral. Sometimes a bias is useful for persuasive essays or debates. Understanding bias is important.
(Include here links to sites with bias. Preferably present more than one point of view.) Multnomah County Library's Social Issues page offers links to sites on all sides of major issues: http://www.multcolib.org/homework/sochc.html http://www.multcolib.org/homework/sochc.html Considering Bias
R ELEVANCE : ·Does this information directly support my hypothesis/thesis or help to answer my question? ·Can I eliminate or ignore it because it simply doesn't help me?
D ATE: ·When was this information created? ·When was it revised? ·Are these dates meaningful in terms of your information needs? ·Has the author of the page stopped maintaining it? ·(Be suspicious of undated material.)
S OURCES BEHIND THE TEXT: ·Did the author bother to document his or her sources? use reliable, credible sources? ·Were those references popular, scholarly, reputable? ·Are those sources real? Have you or your librarian heard of or been able to verify them? ·Is the material reproduced (accurately) from another publication? ·What kind of links did the author choose? ·Are the hyperlinks reliable, valuable? ·Do the links work?
S COPE / PURPOSE: Does this source address my hypothesis/thesis/question in a comprehensive or peripheral way? ·Is it a scholarly or popular treatment? ·Is it material I can read and understand? ·Is it too simple? Is it too challenging? ·Who is the intended audience? ·Why was this page created? To inform or explain? To persuade? To sell?
What can you learn from a URL? ·You can use the end, or suffix of a domain name to help you judge the validity of the information and the potential bias of a website. ·This strategy is only a guideline. People can easily purchase domains that do not reflect their actual purpose.
URLs as clues to content ·.com=commercial sites (vary in their credibility) ·.gov=U.S. government site ·.org=organization, often non-profit. Some have strong bias and agendas ·.edu=school or university site (is it K- 12? By a student? By a scholar?) ·.store=retail business ·.int=international institution ·.ac=educational institution (like.edu) ·.mil=U.S. military site ·.net=networked service provider, Internet administrative site ·.museum=museum ·.name=individual Internet user ·.biz=a business ·.pro=professional's site ·~=personal site
What do their URLs reveal about these sites? ·http://personal.statecollege.edu/~ejv114/ ·http://www.fi.edu/wright/index.html ·http://www.house.gov/house/Legproc.html ·http://aolmembers.com/joyciev328/civalwarsong
Remember, the free Web is not your only choice? ·Did you use print sources? ·Did you search subscription databases? ·Did you check with your teacher- librarian for advice?
Evaluating Blogs ·Who is the blogger? This may be challenge with so many blogs offering spotty or nonexistent "about" pages. That may be a clue in itself. ·What sorts of materials is the blogger reading or citing? Does this blogger have influence? Who and how many people link to the blog? Who is commenting? Does this blog appear to be part of a community? The best blogs are likely to be hubs for folks who share interests with the blogger. ·Is this content covered in any depth, with any authority? How sophisticated is the language, the spelling? ·Is this blog alive? It there a substantial archive? How current are the posts? ·At what point in a story's lifetime did the post appear? Examining a story's date may offer clues as to the reliability of a blog entry. ·Is the site upfront about its bias? Does it recognize/discuss other points of view? (For certain information tasks–an essay or debate or student blog–bias may be very useful. You need to recognize it. If the blogger is not a traditional "expert," is this a first-hand view that would be valuable to your research? ·Is it a unique perspective? ·Tools like Technorati and Blogpulse can help you assess the influence of a blog.TechnoratiBlogpulse
So, why should we care about all of this?
There are bigger questions in life! You will be using information to make important decisions! ·Which car should I buy? ·Which doctor should I choose? ·Should my child have this surgery? ·Should I take this medication? ·You want to be able to ensure the information you choose is reliable, credible, current, balanced, relevant, and accurate!
Just as you evaluate your sources... Your teacher will evaluate your work based on the quality of the sources you select. Evaluate carefully. Don't settle for good enough! Quality always counts!
Evaluation is important! Learn to be fussy!

UBS is dismissed in U.S. silver lawsuit, other claims narrowed
* Claims narrowed against ScotiaBank, HSBC
* Deutsche Bank settlement agreement expected soon
* Banks accused of suppressing, exploiting silver prices
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK, Oct 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has dismissed UBS Group AG as a defendant in a lawsuit accusing big banks of conspiring to fix silver prices and exploit price distortions at investors' expense.
In a decision made public on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni in Manhattan also said investors may pursue some but not all antitrust and manipulation claims against Bank of Nova Scotia ("ScotiaBank") and HSBC Holdings Plc .
Deutsche Bank AG settled related claims in April, and the investors plan soon to seek preliminary approval of a settlement, their lawyer Vincent Briganti said on Wednesday. Terms have not been disclosed.
UBS spokeswoman Erica Chase said the Swiss bank is pleased the court accepted its arguments. Deutsche Bank spokeswoman Amanda Williams declined to comment. HSBC and ScotiaBank did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The lawsuit is one of many in the Manhattan court in which investors have accused banks of conspiring to rig rates and prices in financial and commodities markets. Continued...

It's my fault that Terry Wogan and the Lightning Seeds are in the shower with me - I've been fiddling with the buttons in a space-age shower cubicle and Radio 2 is just one of the things you can end up with if you're not careful. Steam is another, then there are water jets which spurt out at different heights, and an overhead monsoon shower. Who needs a telly when you can have shower-as-entertainment?
Badwell Ash is the dream of husband-and-wife team, Tim and Jackie Thackeray, who moved from Yorkshire in autumn 2005 to a cottage with a swathe of land in the tiny village of Badwell Ash. They have created their notion of a getaway for grown-ups combining "lifestyle, nature and relaxation". In summer 2006, they completed their project, landscaping the land - which has a small lake - behind their cottage and erecting four Scandinavian timber lodges at the water's edge. The cabins have a deck over the water so guests can fish or simply lean on the balustrade and watch the swans glide by, but the piece de resistance is that each also has its own outdoor hot tub.
Badwell Ash is not then for the hydrophobic, but for those who fancy sipping champagne in a Jacuzzi without having to shell out a five-star fee. Enter my friend Tom and I, stage left.
Our cabin is called Kingfisher. It has an open-plan sitting room with dining area and kitchen (with hamper of iron rations - baked beans, tinned tomatoes, eggs, butter, jam, juice, but strangely no bread). Poking our heads round doors we find two bedrooms of roughly equal size, each with thick robe, towels and slippers, bathroom, and a cupboard with ironing board and four big fleeces with Badwell Ash logos. They've thought of everything. Including a bottle of fizz on the kitchen table.
The decor's not up my street - I'd have gone for something cosier - there's a lot of metal and glass and just acres of wood. I wouldn't stake Stella McCartney's life on it, but I think the sofas are leather-look instead of the real thing. I feel like I'm sitting in a crate when I want to be cosy in an Alpine hut.
Stepping through French windows on to our over-water deck we silently watch a pair of black swans glide across the lake, before a kingfisher swoops into view. Dusk is just beautiful, as the lake and sky turn deep blue. The site is tranquil and surprisingly pretty considering that the planting has barely had time to bed in. How amazing it will be in a year or so when the four cabins are obscured from each other's view by reeds.
Back inside, the heating blasts out comfortingly, and as the evening is drawing in we make tea and help ourselves to biscuits from the hamper.
Later, we drive out for an unmemorable dinner in a nearby village pub and by the time we return the temperature has plummeted. Will we, won't we? Pop! The champers is open and changing into our swimming gear we make a dash for the hot tub, shrieking in the cold night air. Tom's shivering so much before he leaps in, he almost drops the champagne.
More buttons to press - this time I'm spared Terry Wogan - and suddenly there's a whoosh of warm jets as the tub springs into action. Oooh, this is the life. "I thought this place was really cheesy when we got here, but I get it now," says Tom, leaning back and watching a gleaming moon in the velvety sky. "Nothing wrong with a bit of cheese at New Year," I retort, before turning my attention back to glugging bubbly in the bubbles.
· Badwell Ash (01359 258444). Three-night weekend from £390 per lodge (£275 in Jan), inc hamper and bottle of champagne.

Do I Need to Use a Realtor when Buying or Selling Property?
Certainly there are pros and cons to having an agent represent you when buying or selling your home. But to answer the direct question of whether an agent is needed is simple. In Arizona you do not need a real estate agent to buy or sell your home. While an agent is not necessary, there may be some practical reasons why someone would want to hire one.
Agents can often assist with preparing contracts and counteroffers that most people may not be aware of. They may be able to assist with appropriate time frames for responses and discuss what reasonable requests can be made or should be expected in the transaction. Agents often times have connections to other professionals who can assist in the process. These connections might include mortgage lenders, contractors or home inspectors to name a few. It is certainly possible to find these individuals on line, but sometimes helpful to get a personal referral.
While the above reasons are important, the most helpful thing an agent will do is to save you time. A good agent will know what you are looking for ahead of time and they will be able to narrow down the houses available to find a group of houses that fits your needs. This is certainly possible to do on your own, but with an already busy schedule many buyers simply don't have the time. Of course, this is one of the main reasons agents get paid. To be sure it is a valuable service and your agent will be paid by taking a commission out of the sales price.

Zuri was right I should go and see my father; I was his only daughter, only family. I did carry my mother's last name as well as Lucas's, I must still have his blood in me. I was a 'black blood child' after all. Did that mean that I still had human blood in me? My scar tingled a little which I took as a yes to my question.
Could I tell her about my visions? But which? A. The little girl or B. The fire shaped pentagram and everyone lying looking dead. Corvina, Mazany and me in the middle of the pentagram. Or C. Everyone holding each other baring Damien who was in the middle holding...me? So option A seemed like the safer choice at the moment.
"Zuri... There's one more thing". My voice was barely above a whisper. She turned and gave me a questioning look through her golden green eyes.
"I keep having... visions. Of a little girl and... Damien. I don't quite understand them but... Damien looks... proud of the girl and happy but at the same time... sad and in pain. The girl... well she... she looks a little... like me." I told her the main facts I really didn't want to get into a lot of detail about it.
"I see," She said slowly as if she was taking it all in, "And I presume you don't want me to say anything to Damien or the others?" I shook my head thinking Damien shouldn't know about any of this yet, I heard Zuri sighed.
"OK, fair enough but if you have anymore visions, you will tell me, won't you?" I looked away thinking for a moment about my visions and Zuri. I wanted to keep her safe and everyone else. Looking at her again I nodded and she smiled at me. Neither of us spoke after that we were both sat there, my head rested on her shoulder breathing in her earthly sweet smell and her warm arm around my cold one.
I felt loved in that moment. Zuri had listened to me pour my heart out and helped me. That's friends are for Daughter. It was my mother's voice in my head, I was certain and her voice scents a warm glow around my cold body. Awakening my senses and helping me to think clearer then I had in ages.
"Thanks, Zuri," I told her meaning my words. I pulled away from her and she smiled then her door knocked. Zuri got up and I got up to curious as to who it was.
"Little Moon, what it is it?" Middy was standing at the door looking worried and something else that I couldn't pick up on.
"I think you'd better come with me, Zuri," Middy said urgently, "its Lapin - I mean Al'leako. Hurry!" Zuri quickly glanced at me, then without anymore discussion we ran down the corridors to my other favourite person office. Edward's. For some reason the closer we got to his office the more and more my scar was stinging slightly.
All three of us came to a stand still when we entered the office to see that Lapin or what did they call him Al'Leako? His name burned something inside of me, like it was important to me or would be important. Anyway, he wasn't there but Edward was of course, sitting behind his desk looking at his daughter. I glanced at Middy to see that she too was looking at her father, a quick look at Zuri to see why she had gone like a statue and then I felt my pentagram scar burning increase.
I gasped out touching my lower back, hearing her clacking laugh and then her voice cutting me like a knife as she spoke. "Crystal you really should get that checked out."
"Bite me bitch." I spat the words at Corvina; Zuri unfroze and pulled my elbow helping me to stand straight. She lowered her hand behind my back and whispered some strange anciently words to me like before. Her soothing words seemed to ease the pain making it bearable.
"Really as if I would want to taste your blood." Corvina turned her glaze onto Middy. "I would rather have a pureblood vampire."
"Girls what are you doing in here, you should be in class." Edward looked towards me and Zuri.
"Sir we're looking for someone." Zuri said.
"And he's not here, so we're be going now. So sorry to disturb you come on Middy, Zuri lets go." But looking a Middy I saw that she didn't hear me, her glaze was fixed on Corvina and she wasn't blinking.
"Middy, come on let's go." I repeated.
"You go Crystal, Zuri I'll be just fine with Corvina." Middy replied in a voice that was barely her own. I looked a Zuri who to had picked up on Middy tone.
"You wouldn't be looking for Lapin would you? Stay away from him, he can't be trusted don't listen to anything he says." Edward babbled to us. Okay what's going on with him?
"Back me up and follow my lead." Zuri spoke without moving her lips to me.
"Always got your back." I replied in the same tone.
Next thing you know, Zuri stood in front of Corvina and her hand balled up into a tight fist which struck out hitting Corvina in the face. It was soo fast that Corvina didn't have time to react, following Zuri lead I grabbed Middy pulling out of the office and away from Corvina gaze.
Zuri came running out and like before all three of us ran down the corridors. We stopped catching our breath and that's when I notice that Middy was still under Corvina 'spell'.
"Sorry Middy I don't mean this but, it might help." I told Middy before slapping her across the face.
"Crystal what are you-
"First thing that entered my mind." I shrugged then I saw Middy's bright eyes blink and look around shock.
"What just happened?" Middy asked touching her face.
Me and Zuri looked at each other and then Zuri answered her question.
"We think that Corvina had you her under her 'spell' and maybe she was about to make you. Erm." Looking at me for support.
"There's something in her blood Middy, I don't know what but you can't drink from her no matter what."
"O'." Was all she said. All this talk of blood was making me thirsty, the last time I fed was at Jordan party with Damien and being this close to Zuri pixie blood and Middy pure vampire blood was not good.
"Erm guy's I have to go." Trying not to breath in there scent too much I turned to go leaving them with question looks on there faces.
I was walking aimlessly around the school grounds when I felt the pull of my vision coming on. Great I thought, trust me to have a vision after seeing Corvina. I sat on the grass that was near the front entrance of the school. Then as per usual my vision burled and I focused on my power. Surprise that it was the little girl, who I saw but she looked younger then she normally did.
The little girl was walking along a black line in a grassy area. She followed the black line again and again. She stopped and walked into the middle and sat down bring her knees to her chest. Tears came down from her turquoise eyes and fell onto her cotton blue dress. Her dark brown hair was long enough to hide her face from the world, but she could hear the light padding of paws and she and I heard a voice that we both recognized.
"Little Z, one can not hide away from those who love her. Has anyone ever told you that there's strength in your tears?"
The little girl looked up and I gasped, seeing Mazany in his kitsune form with nine tails!
"Has anyone ever told you talk strangely, but at the same time make sense?" She spoke boldly to him in her child like voice and I was instantly felt proud of her.
They both smile at each other and Mazany went over to her. The little girl looked at his nine tails reaching out to stroke them, but stopped. Mazany smiled and sat next to her.
"Little Z, your mother would be proud of you."
"You too fox boy." The little girl called him my nickname that used to call him sometimes and then she snuggled against his fur and closed her eyes.
"Mazany." I whispered to myself.

Hi Folks,
I've got a 2010 and was wondering how I go about getting the maps updated on my nav system?
Printable View
Hi Folks,
I've got a 2010 and was wondering how I go about getting the maps updated on my nav system?
You can buy a updated disc on E-Bay ect or have the dealer do it. Or wait for the Washington D.C. defualt and get it done under warranty.
Don't shoot the messenger, but when I went to the dealer for my last service I inquired about a map update, and they told me; "Your maps are updated automatically via OnStar"? This was from the Service Manager. I said; "Huh?", how come they sell Map Disks from GM Direct Parts and he said that's for OEM installs? WTF?
To this date I cannot find anyone to corroborate.
Normal if you live in DC maybe.
Maybe all the SRX's just want to go to Washington? I wonder what they want? :rofl:
algiorda, my salesman told me the same 'OnStar updates the maps via a download'. I think something might have been mentioned about the dealer having to initiate the download though. I might be making that last part up... i can't remember completely... :hmm:
Maps are not updated via Onstar, they have nothing to do with it...
GM no longer provides any free map updates through their dealers (they used to , at one time, provided one years worth)
You must purchase your updates via http://www.gmnavdisc.com/ or a third party source such as ebay.
No Navigation updates for me. After one reprogram and two radio replacements to fix Washing D.C. default. I wil leave well enough alone.
That was the only issue I have had with my 2010 SRX . My 2008 SRX 3.6 only issue was timing chain at 32,000 under warranty.
larryk, I did find it incredulous that they could update maps via the OnStar radio. Maybe the Service Manager who told me was confused with "turn-by-turn" directions.
I've always been skeptical of purchasing new maps, especially for $200.00, because they never indicate the scope of the changes from one year to the next. At least they could advertise something like we have updated x,xxx number of roads, exits, streets, highways, access roads, restaurants, gas stations, etc. But you never see that published. It makes you wonder if your getting true value or not.
I have the 2010 SRX with NAV and I find in Canada outside of Toronto it is next to useless I ahave taken to using a 99 dollar after market device which has a much better set of maps. Had NAV fail along with some memory and needed a radio replacement , this is not an uncommon failure
I just hookup the iPhone and use its Google Maps. The turn by turn instructions come over the radio. The radio volume is automatically lowered when the iPhone nav "speaks". Its free and better and always up to date.
There is nothing wrong with my 2010 Nav system. It works great and beats the hassle of having extra hardware and wires all over the place with an external map unit. Could my Nav system use a map update, YES! Does the dealer do it, NO! Every time I ask my service manager he gives me a cockamamie story that my maps are updated automatically through OnStar, which is utter nonsense.
The question is; how much are you willing to pay for a map update DVD every year?

The leading silks at the chancery bar are able to turn their hand to most types of commercial dispute. Traditional chancery silks are less in demand than they used to be – much of this work is non-contentious and many solicitors consider themselves experts in their own right. However, counsel at the commercial end of chancery work all earn high praise from solicitors.
This list of barristers is not exhaustive, but is based on the recommendations of leading commercial litigation practitioners.
9 Old Square is a top chancery set where Simon Berry QC is "always rated" and Michael Driscoll QC is "imaginative and a bit of a maverick" and "certainly his own man". Judith Jackson QC is "good with clients and doesn't stand on ceremony" and Nicholas Patten QC is "bright – an outstanding lawyer who is easy to deal with".
Wilberforce Chambers is also at the top of its game, with Terence Etherton QC highly rated, Jules Sher QC, who merits a place in The Lawyer's top five and John Martin QC. Martin is described as "very approachable, straight forward, and nice to work with in tough situations". At the same set Robert Ham QC is "extremely experienced – a real authority on pensions and tax".
Serle Court Chambers has the "absolutely brilliant" Alan Boyle QC and the highly rated Michael Briggs QC for traditional chancery work. Patrick Talbot QC is also very good, described as "user-friendly and hard working".
The "mercurial" David Oliver QC at 13 Old Square is "always a laugh", although you "never know quite what he's going to do next". Catherine Newman QC and Hazel Williamson QC are also highly rated.
Lawrence Cohen QC at 24 Old Buildings is described by one practitioner as "a nap", a betting term for when there are long odds because the bookies have overlooked their potential. This practitioner feels that Cohen is not getting the credit that he deserves.
Erskine Chambers has a number of rated individuals, such as Barbara Dohmann QC and Robin Potts QC. Both "give you [the client] what you want". At the same set David Richards QC is "very sound", especially for non-contentious work.
At 7 Stone Buildings, Murray Rosen QC is described as "terrific and tough".
Peter Crampin QC, head of chambers at 11 New Square, is one traditional chancery silk who retains a loyal following.
3/4 South Square wins plaudits for Richard Hacker QC, an insolvency and general commercial silk who is "sound, safe and sensible" and Gabriel Moss QC, who is described as "a real specialist" for insolvency matters.
Falcon Chambers has the "expert negotiator" and "splendid" Nicholas Dowding QC. "The small, but perfectly rounded" Peter Goldsmith QC at Fountain Court is "great" for all commercial litigation and professional negligence matters, and at 11 Stone Buildings David Unwin QC is "highly affable" and "practical".
At Enterprise Chambers Anthony Mann QC is rated, while at 1 New Square James Munby QC is "approachable, pragmatic and very bright", and is a "charming man who can deliver the goods." He is also described as "no youngster, but young in his approach".
Christopher Symons QC, head of chambers at 3 Verulam Buildings, is "an outstanding lawyer who is very easy to deal with". At 3 Stone Buildings Geoffrey Vos QC is a "solid" traditional chancery barrister, and Mary Vitoria QC at 8 New Square is described as "very user friendly".
In the regions Peter Smith QC of 40 King Street in Manchester is "very good in a fight" and has a "good client manner", while for company and commercial disputes James Allen QC of Chancery House Chambers in Leeds is "technically very good and extremely good with clients".

Veterinarians estimate that as many as 15% of dogs suffer from environmental allergies, most of which begin before your pooch's third birthday and continue--and usually worsen--throughout his life.
RELATED: 3 Pet Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
While you and your four-legged friend may share triggers, his symptoms aren't like yours. "Dogs may lick and chew their paws, scratch constantly, and develop inflamed ears or skin infections," says Jon Plant, DVM, DACVD, a veterinary dermatologist for Banfield Pet Hospital in Portland, OR. "These are all tip-offs that they're suffering from allergies, though only a vet can make the official diagnosis."
While a veterinarian can prescribe strong meds or even cortisone if necessary, there are also milder treatments with fewer side effects. Regardless of the symptoms' severity, the best approach is likely a combination of the following options.

Letter — Seeking An Improvement To Beach Road In Waa Waa
Karen Mickievic
I've been driving that road every day. Yep, sure sucks. Must put a hurt on sales. No one down there i talk to seems to mind. Kind of why they live in Waawaa. Doesn't seem to have slowed down the tourists any, it's pretty much nonstop down there. I respect that the County needs to do it's job but be careful, you poke too much for paving and some might accuse you of moving somewhere and then complaining that it needs to be changed.
Sorry I meant Karen not Tiffany. P.S. Karen get out there with your shovel and gravel or move, I know I purchased my property in Waawaa because of the dirt road. Can you just imagine all the speeding traffic coming from Hawaiian Beaches. Another real estate agent wanting to develop Waawaa, lucky us. Good luck.
Govt. beach road could surely use a large amount of gravel to make it easier to travel.Half the problem was that for over ten years the county illegally,even criminally brought in toxic material from the National Guard riflerange not far from the hilo airport.There is and was unsafe amounts of lead in this fill. I was given the information at a community meeting on the road by the road supervisor for the county who was about to retire.I showed him some of the HUNDREDS of BULLETS that I had picked up on the roadbed.Later I talked with police Lt. Uehana who said they were 30 caliber rounds fired from m-14s,the kind of rifle that was used in the early days of the Vietnam war….If only the county had brought in large amounts of quality gravel the problem would not be half so bad>Many of the pro pave group-my neighbors,-god bless them- are realtors or speculators
I live in Wa`awa`a and as much as I love living off grid and on a dirt road, I would love to see the road paved, at least in all the places that always have so many holes that you can`t drive around them. The county never fixes the road when there are just a few holes, (which would be more practical, because they would not need to bring the dozer, just a truck with gravel, like they did in the old days). They always wait till it so bad.
Another option would be to pave from Hawaiian Beaches to Pakaka Rd. Then the mango trees are saved.
Actually they should pave the road all the way to Hilo. If we ever needed to get out of Puna, due to a geothermal disaster or lava flow – that would be the quickest way for people to leave Kapoho area, and it gives us another emergency route (which is needed in the Puna District. Also it would save us gas, wear and tear on our cars, and save some time to get to Hilo (and not having to drive all the way to Pahoa to get to Hilo).
The biggest reason for improved roads are emergencies. There has already been one death that might not have happened, if the ambulance had gotten here faster.
Paving would stop the issue of "toxic material" used by the county.
I would think more traffic would cut down on thievery, "too many eyes watching".
The police have been coming here quite often these last 3 months, maybe if the road was paved they would patrol this area better.
Send a few thousand requests via this link:
Nohea I respect you and your opinions a lot.I disagree on this one….paving the road would bring a whole new set of problems….the majority of us anti pavers want a WELL MAINTAINED GRAVEL ROAD.Paving the road will bring a HUGE increase in traffic,speeding, head on collisions and crime.Without a doubt…and also the realtors that live in waawaa,the speculators that live in waawaa and those that are doing vacation homes in waawaa will all be overjoyed if the road is paved.I was personally warned by John Durga ,the realtor who OWNS the realty office at Malama,that unless we residents took action within 20 years all the coastal lots will be vacation rentals…a defacto resort area…and just imagine what that will do to everyones land tax who live in the area…it will skyrocket…and so will land and house prices…so if you wanna sell your place in waawaa,you too can make big bucks!! And maybe move to somewhere even better…like where?? Paving will be the ruination of our relatively quiet area and it is a fact there are numerous money obsessed individuals who want waawaa to be californicated.Kapoho-Kine and Arnotts Lodge will bring their minibus loads of tourists to so called 'mermaid pond'. Waawaa is precious,where else in hawaii does such a place exist? A WELL MAINTAINED GRAVEL ROAD will suffice any emergency needs.I have lived here for 37 years and want waawaa to remain COUNTRY!
I would love to see a road also but it only rates scraping. Go up to Hawaiian Beaches and you will see that areas THAT WERE PAVED are under water. This is a trail which is used in emergencies as a road. My friends who live on it would like it scraped and leveled but mother nature is slowly taking parts of the road. The end of Kahakai used to be solid cliff now it is a canyon which loses more land every year. The County may level it but a road is not a good investment. The road goes all the way past HPP. The road there is overgrown with large rocks and holes. This would be a good project for minimum security convicts to rake cinder and tamp pot holes. \It would be nice as a passible road for slow moving vehicles. Having lived her for over 20 years many is the day I wish it was a smoother path.
The pros and cons, a friend of mine has a old family fishing house on the HPP side if the road, he don't want to see it paved and a few years back someone wiped out all those old growth mango trees that lined the rd. from the HPP side going to HB. Just to run a power pole line to his place. Sad all those tree for one guy's Helco hook up. Most people move to a dead end road because it is.
Yes is would be smart, to pave the coast road but much of that undisturbed coast line will get disturbed, trashed and USED. I like it, like it is, in an emergency evac. my horse can walk that 4×4 Old Gov. Rd. no problem. But anything done regarding a PMAR plan has to go through Shipman and that's the elephant in the room.
Light rail on R/R is a concept too advanced for our contemporary planing dept. minds, but it's the smartest solution. In 20 years they'll go, oh yea! R/R Ave.
After 130 is 3-4 lanes each direction I-30.
Since the county refuses to care for it according to its use. We should adopt the road for was waa and privatize the section through was was and gate it off to stop all thoroughfare traffic and keep it graded at the expense of the residence via donations. This eleminates the heavy usage that the county refuses to support via regular maintenance or pavement.
The issue here is not whether someone has a certain kind of job, or no job, it is that all of us deserve a drivable surface. There are presently 427 potholes between Honolulu Landing and the end of the forest reserve. Yes, they were counted. The county is negligent in this situation, and this needs to be made public, so that people have a safe way in and out of their homes.
Although I often curse the road when it gets real bad I still would rather drive slow and enjoy the road then see it paved. I would love to see the county maintain a well gravel road and it would be less costly than paving the road. Waawaa is a unique area and paving it would in my opinion destroy it's flavor and open it up to speeding traffic and more theft. I hate driving Opipikio rd as it's scary and dangerous because of all the speeding traffic. Same goes for the lower road a most of the time.
It was a state road, given to the county to maintain. The county likes to call it a road in limbo, but Helen Hale years ago, got the county to promise to maintain the road every four months. This did not happen. At the last road meeting Warren Lee stated that it was being maintained every four months. We informed him this was not happening, he said he would have it maintained every four months, this again has not happened.
Aloha Lower Puna,
I disagree with the ideas of paving and especially "gating" beach road. The road was in this condition before any of you Paving Pros moved there.
If you are dissatisfied with your choice of investment, then by all means pack up and invest else where. But please leave our beautiful road alone.
Aloha blowhole,
Your idea of erecting gates on a section of Waa Waa road is an act of Anti-Aloha. Why would you possibly want to do that in the State of Aloha? Are you a "Californicators"? If this be the case, then you surely have your head up your "blowhole".
Please pack-up yourself and leave. It's obvious Hawaii is too beautiful for you Californicators. I'll be quite happy giving you a ride to the airport.
They are fixin the road right now….maybe warren lee will tell the guys to bring down a exra large amount of quality chip gravel….this is one of those rare cases when i think the govt.'owes' the community BECAUSE for over ten years they broght in lead contaminated road fill from a toxic site…i remember it well…there were big rocks, dirt, and lots of bullets…clearly a case of criminal corruption…in my mind…and you know what? This caused a lot of bickering,backbiting,and bullshit between neighbors that was un necasary.Oh yeah and I always give the road crew guys lots of aloha….
I have sent packets of pictures, related e-mails and a cover letter to Warren Lee, Billy Kenoi and KHON actionline. Hoping to get at the very least a written schedule for maintenance.
Yes, they are working on the road, after the KHRON actionline was mentioned to the road dept. However, in the past, they will come out under pressure, then not return until extreme pressure is applied again. Remember this is an evacuation route, the only way in and out for us and emergency vehicles. "Road in limbo" is a very poor classification for a road with these needs. 427 potholes in the first mile! The road crew supervisor said they had to do a lot of extra preparation for the gravel as these potholes were so deep! Come on our taxes are just as good as those that live on the rest of the red road, which is paved.
