Hudson - City officials searched for some extra money to help maintain city roads — in funds dedicated to the TECHudson business incubator, demolition of the former Youth Development Center buildings and the annual carryover — as budget talks continued Nov. 19.
However, Council members agreed the city's leaf pickup program should be spared and not scrapped to free up funds for road repairs. The $170,000 program utilizes 16 city employees and eight seasonal employees.
Council members want to spend $1.8 million, instead of the city-proposed $1.3 million, on road maintenance in 2013 and asked city officials Nov. 14 to find the funds.
The city has come back with a proposal for $1.6 million for road maintenance every year in the five-year budget, with $1 million of that each year dedicated to residential streets. In the previous budget, the $1 million for residential streets decreased to $750,000 in 2014 and $650,000 in 2015.
The city was able to increase the proposed funding for road maintenance by $290,000 by:
• Reducing funding for TECHudson by $75,000;
• Calculating the actual carryover from 2012 at $317,000 higher than estimates; and
• Reducing funding for demolition of the YDC buildings by $100,000.
Since the last budget meeting Nov. 14, City Finance Director Jeff Knoblauch revealed that tax collections for 2012 will be higher than previously estimated and a 1.5 percent increase per year would make income tax collections for 2013 nearly $13.1 million instead of $12.7 million.
Instead of beginning 2013 with a balance of $9.6 million, Knoblauch says the city will have a rollover of $9.95 million.
The $317,000 difference could go to road repairs, Knoblauch said.
In addition Council has proposed reducing funding to TECHudson, the business incubator which gets most of its funding from the city, by $50,000 in 2013 (to $75,000 from $125,000) and by $25,000 in 2014 (to $50,000 from $75,000).
Council also discussed reducing funding by $100,000 for demolition of the former Youth Development Center buildings on Hines Hill Road. The cost of razing all buildings in 2013 except Eastman School would be $812,665 financed at $100,000 per year for 10 years.
Council members were split on whether to demolish all 14 buildings at the center in 2013. Council members John Jeffers, William Wooldredge, Dennis Hanink and Dan Williams supported demolition, while Alex Kelemen, Hal DeSaussure and David Basil disagreed and wanted to mothball the buildings.
"I support demolition of all," Jeffers said. "We don't want to hold off. It'll be cheaper now than in the future."
Williams wanted Council to revise the budget and add the funding back in for demolition, but others disagreed.
"What is the rush at this time?" DeSaussure asked.
If a private party shows interest in the property, it wouldn't have to pay prevailing wage to demolish the buildings like the city does, Basil said.
"I caution Council about proceeding too hastily," Basil said. "Let them stand."
Wooldredge asked for a future meeting to discuss the vision and uses of the property.
Knoblauch said funding of the YDC demolition would go back in the budget but would not affect the $1.6 million for road maintenance. If other reductions in expenses or additional revenue is not found, the end balance rolled over into 2014 would be less. The city tries to maintain a 40 percent end balance compared to expenses per year, which would be 45.79 percent in 2014 with the proposed budget.
City Manager Anthony Bales said the city will have more information about demolition of the buildings in December.

Alan Pardew could well be managing his final game for Newcastle at Liverpool on Sunday in the final game of the season, and we just hope we can end the season on a positive note and get a result.
John Carver and Alan Pardew discuss tactics on Saturday
Is that too much to ask?
Yes, probably.
This is what Alan told the Shields Gazette today:
"I've got to apologize for the six games that went before Cardiff." "At least, we've put it to an end. It's not cured the situation, but we've stopped a difficult period."
"We had winning momentum in November," "But when momentum goes the other way, it can make you look worse than you are, which I think it did. It wasn't that bad. We proved that."
A question at the end of those comments – how and when did we prove it wasn't that bad?
Certainly not against Cardiff City on Saturday – we were awful in that second half and a better side would have taken advantage – but Cardiff demonstrated why they are going down to the Championship – by missing their chances to score.
Maybe Alan is trying out some of the lines he will use when he meets with Mike Ashley and the Newcastle Board early next week, as they review the season, and presumably Mike Ashley decides Alan's fate, and whether he stays on as Newcastle manager.
It's simply been a nightmare for Newcastle fans since Boxing Day, but we could still finish in 9th place in the league, and if that happens it could be that Pardew even keeps his job, especially since the owner sold our best player in January.
But news today in L'Equipe that Newcastle are looking at St. Etienne manager Christophe Galtier, but he's largely an unknown quantity, and the few French managers – apart from Arsenal great Arsene Wenger of course – who have tried their luck in the Premier League, have not been too successful.
Comments welcome.

Saying she's run out of patience, Gov. Jan Brewer will veto any bills sent to her until she sees movement on a new state budget and her pet Medicaid expansion project.
Gubernatorial press aide Matthew Benson said Friday his boss has been more than patient in giving lawmakers time to deal with all the other issues that typically pop up during the annual session. And he noted Brewer already has signed 201 bills that have reached her desk.
But now, with the Legislature headed into its 120th day on Monday, Benson said Brewer wants "significant progress" on both issues.
House Speaker Andy Tobin said he was not surprised by Brewer's action.
"I fully expected that this is part of the process,'' he said. "I think many people would argue that this day has probably been long expected."
And within her power.
"It's good to be governor," he said, even as he credited Brewer for waiting this long before drawing the line in the sand.
Tobin said, though, the problems the governor's action creates are not just political.
He cited a 2009 Arizona Supreme Court ruling that the Arizona Constitution requires the Legislature to send bills to the governor once there has been a final vote. Tobin said Brewer's threat means choosing between violating the law by holding a measure that has gained final approval -- or obeying it and having otherwise meritorious legislation quashed by Brewer.
Benson conceded the legal quandary. But he said it doesn't have to be a problem.
"They make progress on Medicaid and the budget and this becomes a moot point," he said.
How quickly any of that can happen, though, remains unclear.
There appears to be little dispute over most state spending issues between the governor and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
The spending plan, however, is tied to Brewer's proposal to expand Medicaid, taking advantage of a provision in the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act to pay virtually all of the cost of expanding coverage to everyone below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That would add about 300,000 to the rolls of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, the state's Medicaid program.
Brewer would fund the state's share with what amounts to a new tax on hospitals. But that $250 million levy also would generate an extra $100 million a year to finance existing AHCCCS costs.
Benson complained that Brewer unveiled her expansion plan on the first day of the legislative session in January, providing specific language to implement it shortly thereafter. He said, though, there have been no substantive negotiations between the governor's office and legislative leadership to move that forward.
One problem is that Senate President Andy Biggs has vowed to do "everything in my power" to prevent a Medicaid expansion plan from even coming to the Senate floor for a vote.
Several Republican senators have told Capitol Media Services there actually are enough GOP votes, combined with the 13 Democrats who support Medicaid expansion, to go around Biggs if necessary. That, however, is contingent on some measure getting out of the House.
In January, Tobin pronounced the governor's plan dead on arrival, at least in the form she proposed.
But the speaker said he's willing to negotiate some alternative short of Brewer's proposal. Tobin said he even went to Washington to meet with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to see if the federal government would provide Affordable Care Act funding for something not as sweeping as what Brewer wants.
The governor's action leaves a number of bills desired by Republicans in limbo. They run the gamut from expanding existing laws barring government action that interferes with free exercise of religion to allowing Lottery winners to keep their names confidential.
Benson acknowledged the list of measures awaiting action also includes some things Brewer wants. But he said the governor is willing to risk having those sidetracked.
"The biggest single priority the Legislature has to deal with every year is the state budget," he said. In fact, it is the only thing lawmakers are constitutionally required to approve.
"And the biggest policy agenda item this session is Medicaid," Benson continued.
"So it's appropriate that these two issues take center stage," he said. "They've been kind of pushed to the background long enough enough."
That still leaves the constitutional issue.
The 2009 Supreme Court ruling stemmed from a fight that is a variant on the current stalemate between Brewer and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Lawmakers had approved an $8.4 billion budget over Brewer's objections. She condemned the plan, saying it would "decimate" education and services for the poor and the elderly.
She wanted to veto the measure and then demand legislators send her one with fewer spending cuts. But she could not do that until she got the budget, something legislative leaders refused to send her.
So she sued.
The governor said GOP leaders were trying to "trick" her by holding onto the budget until the fiscal year ended June 30. That, Brewer said, would force her to either accept their spending plan or risk the shutdown of state government the following day.
In a brief order, Chief Justice Ruth McGregor said lawmakers cannot approve legislation and then sit on it, whether for political or other purposes.
"After the Legislature finally passes a bill, the Legislature cannot delay presenting it to the governor," McGregor wrote. She said the only permissible delay is for the necessary clerical and procedural maneuvers.
Brewer eventually did get the budget, vetoed key provisions, and then called lawmakers into special session to make fixes. One veto and five months later she signed a final spending plan.

Do NOT Take Blood For GrantedPosted by PR under News Release
Blood is something most of us take for granted. We assume blood will be at the hospital when we need it. If it isn't, the consequences can be devastating.
The American Red Cross relies on the generosity of volunteer blood donors to provide hospital patients across Kansas with potentially life-saving blood. Blood is a perishable product, with a shelf-life of only 42 days, so it must be constantly replenished.

This is not a hostel: it is a small house next to the house of the owners: Fari and Melissa. It is amazing! They have put all their care and creativity into this small surf house. It is the perfect place to escape from everything and to relax and you will feel at home soon. It feels like a little secret! The only thing is: you need a car. Our rental car had a hard time to beat the dust road but that is part of the charm. It is a 10 minute drive to to Lajaras and a 5 minute drive to the beach.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: oil leak rear top motor on 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300E
have a oil leak somewhere in the rear of the motor just below the vavle cover
| |
Wash of the area with engine cleaner or Chemtool and see if you can identify if the leak is from the valve cover or an oil line in that vicinity. To pin point where oil is leaking from the engine may need to steam clean the engine first. Starting with a clean engine and then running the engine it may be easier to identify specific leaks. If the oil leak can not be identified, florescent dye may need to be added to the oil and the engine run for a while. After running the engine the dye used has florescence in the dye is visible under UV light and it helps pin points the source of the leak. Identify the color of the oil to differentiate whether the oil leak is steering fluid, brake fluid, or transmission fluid and try to identify the location of the fluid leak under the vehicle, ie front of engine compartment, rear of engine compartment , passenger or driver's side of vehicle..

WOOSTER -- As the election season heats up, the Wayne County Chapter of the League of Women Voters will address one of politics' hottest issues: Redistricting.
The town meeting, which is open to the public, will be 7 p.m. Thursday at the Wayne County Public Library's main library on West Liberty Street. Ann Henkener, a state government specialist with the League of Women Voters of Ohio, will give a nonpartisan view of redistricting and speak of how voters are affected by it.
Henkener has been designated by the state organization to engage in discussions with the Ohio legislature about redistricting issues. The league advocates for a bipartisan process and nonpartisan criteria in determining Ohio's electoral districts.
"It's one of those issues that is a little complicated and makes people zone out, but it is critical to a democracy," said Greg Lubelski, who is co-president of the county organization with his wife, Alex Davis.
Elaine Peterson, who is coordinating the event for the league with Pat Miles, said it will be good for voters to look at the issue before it becomes a problem in the state. Ohio has a Reapportionment Board that looks at redistricting every 10 years after the census is completed.
Proponents of redistricting reform say whichever party is in power manipulates district lines to achieve greater representation than exists in the electorate, which is referred to as gerrymandering.
In a paper by the LWVO, it stated, "Ohio has one of the largest disconnects -- nationwide -- between how we vote and who gets elected. An often-cited statistic about the effect of Ohio's gerrymandered electoral districts is that even though more than half (53 percent) of Ohioans' votes in the 2006 U.S. congressional races went to Democratic candidates, only about one-third (39 percent) of the seats went to Democrats and almost two-thirds (61 percent) went to Republicans.
"As a result of gerrymandering, the state legislature and national congressional delegation do not proportionally reflect the political affiliations of Ohio voters."
"In this age of computer modeling, people can do some amazing things with districts," Lubelski said. "It has been an issue for awhile. There have been a number of proposals and nothing has caused traction. We need to keep educating the people."
"We want people to know this will be a hot issue, and we need to do something constructive now," Peterson said.

Proteus knew all things—past, present, and future—but disliked telling divulging what he knew. Those who wished to consult him had first to surprise and bind him during his noonday slumber. Even when caught he would try to escape by assuming all sorts of shapes. But if his captor held him fast, the god at last returned to his proper shape, gave the wished-for answer, and plunged into the sea. The captor in Homer's version (Odyssey, Book IV) was Menelaus; in Virgil's telling (Georgics, Book IV) , it was Aristaeus who tried to hold Proteus. Because Proteus could assume whatever shape he pleased, he came to be regarded by some as a symbol of the original matter from which the world was created. The word protean, one meaning of which is "changeable in shape or form," is derived from Proteus.
In a story first known from the work of the 6th-century-BC BCE poet Stesichorus, Proteus was portrayed as an Egyptian king—either of Memphis (by Herodotus) or of all of Egypt (in Euripides' Helen)—who kept the real Helen safe in Egypt while Zeus sent Paris on his way to Troy with a phantom Helen.

We drove down the mountain with the valley below, traced by a wide meandering river. In the east was a wide rainbow, the magenta and violet were glowing. In the west, the sun was setting behind mountain after mountain after mountain. Everything was blue, even the air. It was so beautiful. I listened to Tibetan bowls, talked to my God, got some things figured out, and, the peace I have lacked for days that came back to me today when I cried and let it all out, deepened.
Earlier this week I had been finding it impossible to wrap my mind around the state of our world. When I closed my eyes and saw skulls and femurs from the genocide memorials. When I tried to see something else, it was Zainib's basketball court in Bagdad, converted to a gallows were 20 people a day are being murdered. When I attempted to shut that out, my mind went to Northern Ireland, and when I blotted that out, a thousand other armed conflicts with all their wreckage racked my soul. Torn genitals in Congo, brothels in Mumbai, sewage strewn slums everywhere. Why, why, why, why, why, why? I understood for the first time why "The Goddess of Nanking," after personally saving thousands of terrified Chinese from Japanese torturers, promptly killed herself when she got back home to Kansas.
Driving down the spellbinding mountain and uninhibited once more in feeling my feelings, the answer came to me from a very soft place inside: self will. I have free will, as do all others, and when I am (and they are) in it, look out. I am (and we are) self will run riot. And that, multiplied by billions of people in and out (some more so than others) of self will, equals the state of the world, good and bad.
And so today I took the focus off all others and their heinous acts, and put it back on myself. I turned my will and my life over, once more, to a power greater than myself. So today, just for today, I get a reprieve from the dis-ease that lives in my head, that wants to convince me I am better than (or worse than) someone else. And just for today, I am not a genocidaire. I am not in a militia. I am not a rapist or a human trafficker. I don't think that I, or anyone else, deserves to be punished, tortured, or murdered, for who they are, what they do, how they dress, whom they love, how they wash, how they worship, how they look, where they live. Because today I have no doubt that with enough self will run riot, I could have become one of these persons, done any of these things. There for the grace of God go I.
Others, I cannot change. Myself, with the help of my Higher Power, I can. I am grateful today I was given the wisdom to know the difference. It is a deep relief. In addition to relieving me of the obsession of wanting to understand the totality of everything (I hadn't even seen I was being grandiose, so complete was the distortion), I can feel such gratitude that today I know what to do without needing to worry about why everything else was done. All I need to do is the next good, right, honest thing, whatever that might be.
For now, it happens to be to going bed. It really is as simple as that.
Day one — arrival
Day two — genocide memorial
Day three — the countryside
Day three — the PSI.org offices
Day three — malaria nets

WoW or EQ2?
View Single Post
December 19th, 2006, 10:35
Yes, I saw that as well, problem is that I can't get the Pre-paid cards for EQ here in Dublin
I've hit lvl 30 now with my elven Hunter, and levelled up several alts to over lvl 10, but am starting to find the game rather repetative. So I nagged hubbie until he grabbed a copy for himself (nothing like sharing the pain, is there?
) and we've been playing together. That has been more fun, but he's not really sold either, the "Kill 20 rats for 7 tails" quests turn him off, after playing Guild Wars for so long.
at the moment I can't see either of us renewing WoW after my prepaid card run out (his first free month). It is fun in the beginning, but once things (levelling, gaining new skills and so on) slow down, all there is is the "kill 10 orcs and collect their ears" quests
Truth to tell, I can't see EQ2 being different, maybe we should look into playing some singleplayer games coop…

Draft looks quiet for Penguins
OTTAWA -- Early to rise on Thursday, Penguins director of amateur scouting Jay Heinbuck continued preparing for an NHL entry draft in which he is not scheduled to pick a prospect until the fourth round.
That would be Saturday - meaning Heinbuck and his staff expected to watch the proceedings tonight at Scotiabank Place, where the first round is scheduled to begin around 7 p.m.
"It's a strange feeling," Heinbuck said. "As of now, we're just sitting at our table for the first three rounds. But a lot of teams would love to be in that position, because we're in that position after our team went to the Stanley Cup final."
The Penguins surrendered their 2008 first-round pick to Atlanta on Feb. 26 as part of the package to snag right wing Marian Hossa and forward Pascal Dupuis. They lost their second-round pick that day, too - sending it to Toronto for defenseman Hal Gill.
Acquiring right wing Georges Laraque from Phoenix at the 2007 trade deadline cost the Penguins their third-round pick for this draft.
Those players, three of 12 from the Cup final roster set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1, were pivotal in helping the Penguins come within two victories of a championship.
Center Evgeni Malkin carried his fair share of that load.
Malkin spent yesterday in Russia with his family, but he was the focus of speculation-fueled buzz. Canada's capital city awoke to an Ottawa Sun report that Penguins general manager Ray Shero has offered Malkin to the Los Angeles Kings for a package that would include rights to pick second in the draft.
Shero is not commenting on off-season dealings and never makes a habit of addressing trade rumors.
Malkin's agent JP Barry told the Tribune-Review there is no validity to the Sun's report.
Conversations with numerous parties independent of the Penguins and Malkin's camp indicate there is virtually no chance of a trade. The Penguins can sign Malkin to a contract extension on July 1, and it is widely believed the sides will agree on a long-term deal not long after that date. Shero and Barry are expected to meet this weekend at the draft.
If the Penguins were open to dealing Malkin, they would surely request a royal ransom from the Kings, who own the rights to top defense prospect Jack Johnson - the third overall pick in 2005.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was the first overall pick that year. He and Johnson are close friends.
Landing the second overall pick in this draft would put the Penguins in position to choose from a group of four top defensemen prospects, according to International Scouting Services general manager Matt Ebbs.
"We think the second pick will be Zach Bogosian (Peterborough, Ontario Hockey League)," Ebbs said. "But that's not to say it won't be Drew Doughty (Guelph, OHL), Luke Schenn (Kelowna, Western Hockey League) or Alex Pietrangelo (Niagara, OHL).
"Those four comprise a group of defensemen any team would want. Bogosian and Pietrangelo are the full package. Doughty is more offensive, and Schenn more stay-at-home."
Ebbs labeled defense as a "strong point" in the first round, which will be wrapped up tonight, with the remainder of the draft scheduled for Saturday. ISS has 12 defensemen ranked among the top 30 players. The NHL's central scouting bureau has placed 15 defensemen among its best 30.
"It's a pretty deep draft (for defense)," Heinbuck said. "And there are some obvious names (overall) that go fairly deep."
Heinbuck, Ebbs and most everybody within the NHL expect center Steve Stamkos (Sarnia, OHL) to be the first selection. He is a consensus No. 1-rated player by central scouting and other independent scouting services such as ISS.
Tampa Bay, which won the Cup in 2004, is slated to select first overall and is not expected to move from that position.
Reportedly on the verge of signing star center Vincent Lecavalier to a lengthy contract extension, Ebbs said Stamkos will give Tampa Bay another franchise-caliber player.
"He is that type of player, and I think he'll play this season," Ebbs said. "I wouldn't call him a perfect specimen. But he is strong overall - gifted offensively with a strong attention to defense. You talk to him, and you kind of go, 'Wow!' He's got that gift combination of skill and poise for an 18-year-old."

Keystone XL is not about Canada. It's about the United States, backers and foes of the controversial pipeline say.
The bitter adversaries in the battle over a controversial pipeline to funnel Alberta oil-sands crude to U.S. refineries do not agree on much. But both sides say it is an American debate, an American clash over the future of energy priority.
"It's politics, American politics, and has little to do with Canada," said David Biette, the director of the Canada Institute at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. "It's not a U.S. against Canada issue. Keystone XL is a proxy for a larger discussion that isn't happening on how we see our energy future, and it's filled with emotion and false statements all around."
The two sides squaring off in the Keystone XL debate include the U.S. environmental movement, industries, unions, and landowners. The parade of Canadian premiers and ministers – most recently Foreign Minister John Baird pointedly noting that President Barack Obama should consider "the importance that our government places on this project as a close friend and ally of the United States" – goes largely unnoticed except in Canada and by the Canadian media.
The recent release of the U.S. State Department's final environmental impact statement on the proposal had been expected to clear the way for the answer Canada has been awaiting. But a week later – and with both sides in the U.S. debate claiming the assessment backs their own position – the Keystone XL decision remains what it has always been: a tough political call for Mr. Obama.
One Washington insider, an ardent backer of the proposed pipeline, believes the administration will move quickly to give it the green light. "POTUS will approve it by summer," the insider said, using the common Washington acronym for president of the United States, and adding that doing so would take it off the agenda before Democrats face Republican challengers in the fall mid-term election campaign.
By that calculation, the Keystone question unresolved would be a problem for vulnerable Democrat senators like Louisiana's Mary Landrieu. Ms. Landrieu, who is in line to chair the Energy Committee if she is re-elected and the Democrats hold the Senate, is not talking about Canada.
"In the United States, we already have 2.6 million miles of pipeline transporting oil, gas and refined products that this country needs for its own economic vitality," Ms. Landrieu said, adding she is "struggling to understand why the 800 additional miles in the Keystone XL pipeline are facing such delay."
The reason is that powerful forces that matter to Mr. Obama want the Keystone XL proposal killed as proof the President was not just blowing hot air when he spoke about not despoiling the planet future generations.
"We are optimistic because Americans who know about KXL and tar sands are intensely opposed," said Kate Colarulli of the Sierra Club Beyond Oil campaign. Referring to nation-wide vigils after the State Department report was released, she said: "Thousands of people who are willing to brave freezing temperatures to show their President that they oppose KXL. … Well, it's enough to convince me that when final decision time comes, the President will recognize that he has more to gain by saying no to tar sands and yes to clean energy than he gains by permitting any project that supports the environmental Armageddon happening in the tar sands."
So it is about the politics of oil, not about oil.
Some Keystone XL backers believe the opponents have little left to argue. "With their case in shambles, opponents will be forced to rely on political pressure," said Matt Dempsey, spokesman for Oil Sands Fact Check, which is backed by the oil sector, adding that Mr. Obama "should move swiftly to approve."
Like the draft before it, the final environmental impact statement can – and is – being read to suit the positions of Keystone proponents and adversaries.
"The environmental review shows most of the tar sands flowing through Keystone XL will be exported and very few jobs will be created," Anthony Swift of the National Resources Defense Council wrote.
But spinning the report – in either direction – is not likely to change the situation.
"This is President Obama's decision and his alone – and he has all the information he needs to reject the Keystone XL pipeline," said Jason Kowalski, policy director at 350.org.
Mr. Biette puts it this way: The release of the environmental impact statement means "everything is changed. … No, really, little has."
Would another delay – Mr. Obama booted the decision until after he had secured his second four-year term in 2012 – help, or hurt, his political allies? And will Keystone XL define the President's legacy more than energy future of the United States?
So it's not about providing Canada with an answer.
And in its assessment, Barclays Research, a unit of the London-based financial services giant, bet the situation is going to drag on. The impact statement "does not, in our view, necessarily expedite the approval of the proposed Keystone XL permit; in fact, we believe that the final decision-making process will likely be protracted and final presidential approval remains in doubt," it said.Report Typo/Error

Here is something I want to present nearly without comment: a visually striking graphical representation of all the Android devices out there.
Compare that to the standard Android Version Platform chart, which seems much less sliced up.
It was put together by OpenSignal, a great service that crowd-sources cellular voice and data reception maps from actual humans experiencing real signal loss around the world. The text points out that global fragmentation has problems and advantages: spread and reach, versus conformity and predictability. But just look at something like the screen size possibilities (and be sure to click over to the original for bigger, interactive views.
The typical responses in the positive realm are along the lines of "Great for Google, because they're all going online and seeing ads," or "Look at that huge international reach across all price points!" The typical negative responses are akin to "What a nightmare to develop for that world," or "It's the quality and engagement of users, not the raw numbers."
I just think it's a remarkable chart, because it works both ways. Just don't set it as your desktop background, because, man, it is jarring.
Thanks to my coworking partner Jim Brandt for finding and pointing me to this eye candy.

Kaikoura Zone Committee seeking new member
Media Release
21 January 2013
Kaikoura Zone Committee seeking new member
The Kaikoura Zone Committee is looking to appoint a new member in early 2013 to replace departing member Sarah Beardmore.
Since forming in July 2011 the committee has attended numerous meetings, field-trips and engaged with the community to come up-to-speed water management issues in the zone.
The outcome of these meetings has been the development of a Zone Implementation Programme (ZIP) that provides recommendations to councils on how water should be managed.
Kaikoura Zone Committee Facilitator Laura Beck said the committee is looking for people who want to make a positive difference to water management in the zone.
"This is an exciting and busy time for the committee, as it looks at working towards implementing the recommendations made in the ZIP to meet the targets outlines in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS).
"The committee is specifically looking for people who have a passion for the region and a real interest in working collaboratively to develop innovative and sustainable solutions.
"The ideal candidate will have experience working collaboratively, engaging with communities, and be competent at dealing with technical and often complex issues. They should also understand the need to balance the competing demands for water," she said.
Each of the ten Canterbury Water zone committees are charged with developing strategies, tactics and activities (ZIPs) to give effect to the fundamental principles and targets outlined in the CWMS.
These targets include ecosystem health/biodiversity (including water quality), drinking water, water-use efficiency, irrigated land area, recreational and amenity opportunities, natural character of braided rivers, kaitiakitanga and regional/national economy.
Of the 64 recommendations made in the Kaikoura ZIP, Environment Canterbury is leading or involved in more than 50 of them. Around one-third of the recommendations relate to scientific investigations and monitoring to provide more information for planning.
The underlying philosophy of the CWMS is that communities – via water management zone committees – are best placed to make decisions on local water management.
The successful zone committee applicant will need to be available to attend monthly meetings, as well as community engagement meetings as required. Meetings are typically held on the last Wednesday of each month in Kaikoura.
The Kaikoura Zone Committee operates as a joint committee of Environment Canterbury and the Kaikoura District Council. Zone committee meetings are open to the public and community members are encouraged to attend.
Interested candidates should contact the Kaikoura Zone Committee facilitator prior to 15 February or visit the Kaikoura page at www.ecan.govt.nz/canterburywater for more information and a downloadable expression of interest form.

Brian, I taped it [Phillies] and plan on watching it today.Your comments on Brand I believe are dead on, he may be more of an Oakley than a scorer for this group, relying on his positioning and work ethic to be a defensive anchor and opportunistic scorer and quite possibly, have as many double figure rebounding games as scoring games.
A thing of beauty would be correct. These self proclaimed experts drive me nuts. Mike Fratello and Steve Smith said the Sixers will not make the playoffs and Steve Smith said Indiana will sneak in. Are you kidding me ? Now I read Hoopshype and they pick the Sixers 9th due to the loss of Andre Miller. I choose to go the other way. Let's see who will be right. Although a good comment from John Schumann last night on Twitter who said the Sixers run better then Phoenix. If you watched the game you could see 1-12 the Sixers roster is far superior to that of Phoenix. So if these experts are picking Phoenix to be above .500 and in the playoof hunt you have to like the Sixers chances.
I must confess I watched the Phils while we had company. It is on today at noon, Monday, as a rerun and do plan on watching it then.
Great overview as normal Brian. Thank you again for all your hard work!
Brian, justed watched 1st half; Spieghts gets the ball the first 6 times down the court and Elton looks to be the 5th option when out there, and they played great with him out there but the offense, with the 2nd unit is definitely more inside/out. Question; would it surprise you guys if Spieghts scores more per game than Elton this year? [Elton- 12 ppg./30 mpg.: Marreese-13 ppg./18 mpg.]
It would shock me if Speights averaged more points than Brand. If EB is out there for 30+ a night, I don't see how he doesn't score 15 per. Hopefully, he's just not forcing the issue right now. He's defending, running the floor and rebounding, and doing them all very well. Hopefully it's rust.
Did anyone really follow Brand when he was in LA? I can't really remember much, but I'm wondering if he was an above-the-rim guy, or if he got his points on baby jumpers, and strength more than leaping and quickness.
Brand has never been an explosive athlete, above the rim type player. But he is definitly less explosive than he was in LA. Hopefully its just rust and he'll get it back as the season goes on.
Brian, after watching 3 games [ 1 in person] I have seen one play run for Elton and it was the game winner against the Nets.With a read and react offense the open guy seems to get the ball and it seems Elton, on most nights,has less of an athletic advantage than any of our starters and seems to have trouble creating space for himself.Tonight most of his touches were on the perimeter, other than when he got an off. rebound.And this was against Frye and Stoudemire,neither giving an A effort on defense. I,too, would like to know how he got his 20 and 10 in L.A.;has he lost that much when he is said to be healthy.Statman, one thing I notice so far with this offense is less 3!s being shot by people that shouldn!t shoot them and less bad shots overall.
Hey guys, I watched the game and had a few comments: (1) Iguodala seems to have changed his form slightly on his jump shot. His elbow doesn't jut out as much and his release seems quicker. Brian, did you notice this? He was shooting his jumper confidently and hitting this game, but he was coming off an 0-for-6, so it remains to be seen whether the improvement is real. (2) I didn't notice the Princeton offense, aside from one Iguodala backdoor cut. Mostly, it looked just as disorganized as last year, except players were running around more. Maybe that's an improvement in itself [players in motion]. (3) This Sixers team will always look good in any game in which they can get out and run, like in this game. The biggest improvement in the halfcourt that I saw was the addition of Kapono. I was glad to see that the whole team looks for him when he's on the court. (4) Brand still looks like he has no explosion. He reminds me of Larry Johnson at the end of his career. Let's hope Brand can provide guile, some rebounding, and help defense, without being asked to do more. (5) Lou still looks about the same to me, struggled some with Nash defensively, had a couple nice plays offensively. It's still an open question how the Sixers will get along without a classic point guard [though Jordan is right that the Wizards succeeded without one for a few years].
Thanks for the comment. Last night, Iguodala looked like he squared up to the hoop better on his shot, and he was more up and down, the elbow is probably the key to this. But like you said, small sample size.
I saw a lot of things I liked in the offense, and a few little wrinkles that stuck out to me. One was Lou cycling through the lane quickly after sending an entry pass to Brand on the high elbow, brushing his man into Thad's man on the baseline and Thad flashing to the opposite elbow for an open look. Things like that, I mean, last year, they made a pass then stood around and waited for the ball to be passed back to them. Iguodala had a sick backdoor pass to Thad, Brand's play out of the post to a wide-open Kapono, I think (but not sure) Kapono was sprung by an off-the-ball screen there. Last year, 4 guys stood around and watched on offense, even if they aren't 100% familiar w/ the PO, or really running it well yet, this is much, much preferred to that.
The way they look for Kapono reminds you of Korver, right? Only he's a better shooter than Korver ever was.
I'm still holding out hope on Brand. He is a more heady player than the guys who come to mind (Webber, Larry Johnson, etc). I think that will help him, if he's really limited physically.
One thing the Knicks game and last night's game has made abundantly clear to me: Lou Williams is not this team's point guard. Not even close. When Iguodala is in the game, he is the point.
Good eye, you two. I knew something looked improved mechanically. I think that aspect of Andre's shot has also carried over to his free throws, well that and the fact that he is not shuffling his feet. He is hitting at a high percentage. Regarding his jumper, I watched both TOR games and saw him warming up for the Nets game. His shot is both smoother, better and more consistent. I was particularly paying attention due to the fact that this was when he got the nod as the 2nd best shooter on the team(with Sam). He was hitting shot after shot from a variety of places.
Webber was a heady player. He might be most famous for that timeout, but he wasn't just some freak athlete, he was a skill and finesse guy. Smart passer, great ball-handler for his size, could shoot, etc.
Webber was skilled, I wouldn't say heady though. He and Brand were actually very similar players through their first 8 seasons, although I think Brand was better.
I followed Brand's game for a long time because he is still one of the few traditional PF out there. He was never really an athletic freak but he is really strong. He has long arms and good timing which is the reason he gets blocks and uses his strength to get postion for rebounds.I still think he is a go to guy because he is too strong for a smaller guy and he can get his mid range jumper over a big guy. I mean if you watched the play on the game winner against the Nets he hit that shot over Brook Lopez. Against the Knicks he uses his his strength to get to the basket. I think he will be good in the PO.
He's smart and he can score in a variety of ways (or at least he used to be able to). That's a good combo for this offense, you'd think.
Statman, I did notice Iguodala has a quicker release on his jumpshot. It looks smoother out there, good sign.
As for Brand, he got the bulk of his points off of pick and pop plays, where he gets the ball in a situation where he faces up, shoots, or drives. He can do still do both of these fairly well, I think his problem right now is he isn't getting the lift he needs. The quick start/stop movements (ala pullup jumpers, standing dunks) aren't fully there yet. Plus he's not getting the ball as much nowadays in isolation situations, I think if Brand can get more aggressive when he has the ball at the elbow he'll be more productive offensively.
Other things I noticed:
- Royal Ivey hustles and that's about it. Does Coach Jordan tell him to shoot the ball when he's on the floor? I know he's got a twitter page too but he ain't Lou Williams!
- Jason Smith has too many plays where he ALMOST gets the rebound. He's got to get to the ball faster.
- Dalembert played well. I don't know why he has the ball at the end of the shot clock though. He shoots too many 17-footers as it is. (He did make a nice fadeaway with Amare in his grill though)
- watching Jason Kapono shoot is a thing of beauty.
- so is Thad's footwork around the rim.
- Willie Green plays better backing up the PG position than the SG; I found it was hilarious when he got called for a mysterious foul and decided to take the next one coast to coast, spinning his way into the paint. Ended up scoring his own tip-in.
- That said, I still want Holiday to take the backup PG job by force. He's VERY solid defensively, stays in front of his man. Underestimates NBA players' quickness athleticism some (see: Pass right over J-Rich's head) but given more practice time with the most athletic team in the lead should help him adjust fairly quickly.
- 2nd unit misses Rodney Carney. Baaaaaaaaad.
- Primoz Brezec needs to learn he can rebound with two hands. I wonder what Bill Walton would have been saying with Brezec playing volleyball out there.
- Primoz Brezec needs to learn he can rebound with two hands. I wonder what Bill Walton would have been saying with Brezec playing volleyball out there.
This was like a joke at a certain point last night. He seriously looked like was on the front line of the 1985 Yugoslavian Women's volleyball team. Just batting balls left and right.
They need to work on finishing out offensive possessions. It seems like a hot potato, with the wrong guys getting the ball at the end of the clock regularly. Happened with Sam more than once, and down the stretch happened with Jrue a couple times as well. The movement (both player and ball) is good, but someone needs to have the shot clock in their mind and they need to settle into at least a higher-percentage one-on-one situation if no super-easy opportunities present themselves by say the 19-second mark of the shot clock.
Agree on Thad's footwork and Kapono's shot. Things of beauty.
Good insight everyone. I watched the game with half an eye on the Phils game, so I don't think I appreciated some of the nuances of the offense that were commented on.
I've watched every available pre-season game, so want to comment on some overall trends.
1. Iguodala had taken over for some stretches in previous games, but he flat out dominated tonight. He was Lebron James good out there with how he controlled the game.
His jumper is imptroved/tweaked, with a better angle on his release. But we'll have to see if he can keep his improved form as the year goes on. Lots of players regress during the year after working on shot form in the summer. Lou 1-2 years ago being a prime example.
2. I agree with people's take on Brand. He most reminds me of a 35+ year old Moses. he can still do a lot with his size/positioning/aggressiveness but his lack of lift makes it hard for him to finish contested shots in tight.
Unless Brand gets his legs back there is no way he will earn his huge salary, but he can still be a positive factor on the floor, just not as an offensive focal point.
3. Which brings us to Thad. After a slow start the last 2 games I watched he looked back to peak form. If Brand does get less touches the result could be more points for Thad, which would be great. Also, some good developing chemistry between Iguodala and Thad- which should be good news for years to come.
4. Speights does not like to stick with a play on defense. He plays decent D initially, but then gives up on plays when he loses position.
But on the flip side he is tenatious on offense. he is not just shooting jumpers. He is attcking and very hard to stop inside. He is not explosive inside compared to someone like Dwight or Amare, but he looks near unstopable at times.
He also looks like he has bulked up where bigs need it most- in his backside :)
TK76, I think the Amare comparisons are warranted for Marreese, fearless down one end, especially on the o glass, and fearful to watch down the other end.Amare just looked up at Iggy on his dunk in the lane and was a non-factor defensively all night.This offense is gonna put Iggy on E.S.P.N. every night, and mostly for Cousy type assists.Thad and Iggy seemed to click as you said and Jason, a couple times in a row, looked for Marreese on the low block.
Trade Brand to Memphis for Rudy Gay- apparently Wallace couldn't negotiate an extension for him! Those suckers would take the deal. No offense to Brand intended.
Rudy Gay...I'll pass. Horrible Ast/tov ratio, and is not particularly great at anything, he's Rodney Carney with more shots and more minutes.
Thanks for this Brian, just have one thing to tell you the title should be los sixers derrotaN a los suns since derrotaR is in the future and derrotaN is past. ;)
Memphis WILL NEVER make that deal they are planning for the future it makes no sense at all for them to make that deal.
I blame Google Translator for their shoddy English to Spanish dictionary. It's fixed now.
I watched every last second of this game and had to listen to spanish while my girlfriend complained about it the entire time. I should get something.
Brand was more explosive out of college, not Amare by any stretch, but as his career progressed he bulked up and played tougher and smarter. I've always had him on fantasy teams and had league pass the last few years, so watched him quite a bit. He does look slower and less athletic, but he's playing around a ton of athletic players and we're all expecting less of him.
What I might suggest is you get a new girlfriend.
Maybe one que habla espanol?
She's a keeper as long as the Sixers don't relocate south of the border
I don't understand the whole "he's never been athletic so losing a step won't hurt him" line of reasoning. Last year we hear that about Miller, and now Brand (in terms of explosiveness.)
In some ways a player who never was athletic is even more vulnerable when they lose a step. On both ends good body positioning and smarts can cover for a lack of innate gifts, but only so far.
On the flip side, great athletes can lose a step but still be as effective by adding skills to their game. Guys like MJ and Kobe developed deadly midrange jumpers to cover for the fact they could no longer get to the rim at will. I wonder in Dwade will similarly adapt his game once the years (and injuries) bring his athletasism back to a mere mortal level.
I think that depends entirely on that player's position. Brand is fortunate, because his decreasing athleticism might be able to be hid by playing at center against practically every one not named Dwight Howard. He might even give Howard fits.
Miller is bad because guards rely on athleticism more, his struggles could not disguised due to him being at the point of attack.
I can't get too impressed with a win over the Suns, they are a lottery team, for crying out loud... The last point about EB's explosiveness - a cause for concern

Transparency International is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. It brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world. Transparency's mission is to create change towards a world free of corruption.
Transparency International is a global network including more than 100 established national chapters. The national chapters fight corruption on the national level in a number of ways. They are working independently and are self-financed. They bring together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. Transparency's global chapter network also uses advocacy campaigns to lobby governments in order for them to implement anti-corruption reforms.
Transparency Deutschland is the national chapter in Germany focusing on corruption in Germany. As in all other countries, problems are ranging from the public to the private sphere, from the health care system to sports.
With regard to more internationally related issues, you may find a range of English documents on our website providing you with an inside in the work of Transparency Deutschland.
Both the office of Transparency Deutschland and the headquarter of Transparency International are based in Berlin. Please see below for directions.

Hamburg Transparency Law
The Hamburg Transparency Law, was passed through the parliament of city-state Hamburg with the support of all political parties in June 2012. The law came into force on October 6th, 2012. It turns the principle of government openness upside down. The transparency law does not define a right to information for citizens but the obligation for the government to publish; without abolishing the right to information.

Inspection and replacement of SRS equipment (airbag modules, steering wheel rotary coupler, seat belt pre-tensioners and ECU's) is dependent on type and severity of crash condition. The following guidelines are the minimum that should be exercised as a result of the deployment of specific SRS components.
If airbags are deployed, the following parts must be replaced:
The following should be inspected for damage and replaced where necessary:
If either or both seat belt pre-tensioners are deployed in a rear impact, the following parts must be replaced:
In addition, because of deterioration of airbag propellants over a period of time, the manufacturers recommend replacement of airbag modules, seat belt pre-tensioners and the rotary coupler at 15 year intervals.
Please note that airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners cannot be shipped by mail order and may only be collected from the counter. Storage and fitment of modules and pre-tensioners is potentially seriously hazardous and must be carried out by trained personnel using correct equipment.

The Way Way BackClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that The Way, Way Back is an empathetic, entertaining coming-of-age dramedy that rings true on many levels, capturing what it's like to be a 14-year-old boy surrounded by adults who should be doing a better job of acting their age. Some themes (i.e. infidelity) may be too much for tweens, but teens will appreciate the challenges the main character faces and how he decides to confront them. Expect scenes showing adults in various states of inebriation (mostly giggly and neglectful), seducing others who aren't their mates, and being cruel to teens, among others. A teen is shown sneaking a few beers into her purse; others talk about how one teen supplies adults with weed. Language includes one "f--k," plus "s--t" and "a--hole," and there's innuendo and stolen kisses between a couple who are involved with other people.
- Sexual Content
- Innuendo, plus some lingering camera shots on women's backsides (as they're ogled by guys) and stolen kisses between a man and a woman who are technically involved with other people.
- Violence
- Some arguments, both big and small.
- Language
- Language includes one "f--k," plus "s--t," "damn," "d--k," "jackass," "crap," "ass," "a--hole," "oh my God," and more. A euphemism is used for the c-word.
- Social Behavior
- Just because someone (say, a parent) is older, that doesn't mean she's wiser. Sometimes teens are just as insightful, if not more so, and we can all learn from one another. Also, nobody's perfect, but some imperfections are kinder and gentler than others. Choose who you want to be. Being yourself and finding joy in it is the path to happiness.
- Consumerism
- Some brands/products are seen/mentioned, including iPhone, Pabst, Google, and Chevrolet.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Adults spend a chunk of the summer pretty much drunk or nearly drunk. One woman proudly announces that she's off the wagon (and is obnoxious to boot). A teenage girl sneaks a few beers into her purse. There's talk of people buying weed, but viewers don't really see it. A man is shown smoking a cigar.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

of Christmas Trees ● History of
Christmas Trees ●
History of Ornaments
● History of Candy Canes
History of Lights
during the mid-winter season were common, even before Christmas was
celebrated on December 25.
Christmas was once a moveable feast celebrated many different times during
the year.
The choice of December 25 was made by the Pope Julius I in the fourth century
AD because this coincided with the pagan rituals of Winter Solstice, or Return
of the Sun.
The intent was to replace the pagan celebration with the Christian one.
In 1752, 11 days were dropped from the year when the switch was from the
Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
The December 25 date was effectively moved 11 days backwards. Some Christian
church sects, called old calendarists, still celebrate Christmas on January 7
(previously Dec. 25 of the Julian calendar.)
Many of the traditions associated with Christmas (giving gifts, lighting a
Yule log, singing carols, decorating an evergreen) hark back to older religions.
Some traditions described here are reminiscent of modern day customs, and
others, like the Festival of the Radishes in Mexico, are bizarre and
A huge log -- the Yule Log -- is brought into an outdoor clearing and becomes
part of a great bonfire. Everyone dances and sings around the fire. All the
noise and great excitement is said to awaken the sun from its long winter sleep,
hurrying spring on its way as the cycle begins once again and the days grow
longer than the nights.
The festival became very popular as it transformed into a humorous parody in
which the ass was led into the church and treated as an honored guest while the
priest and the congregation all brayed like asses. The Church suppressed it in
the fifteenth century, although it remained popular and did not die out until
years later.
The men pour water over their heads while they hold up bread. Then the men
and boys are purified with water and must not sit on chairs until evening when
goat's blood is sprinkled on their faces.
Following this purification, a great festival begins, with singing, dancing,
bonfires, and feasting on goat tripe and other delicacies.
Here's to thee, old apple treeWhence thou mayst bud and whence
thou mayst blowAnd whence thou mayst bear apples enow:Hats full, caps
full, Bushels, bushels, sacks full,And my pockets full too!Huzza!
Here's to thee, old apple treeWhence thou mayst bud and whence
thou mayst blowAnd whence thou mayst bear apples enow:Hats full, caps
full, Bushels, bushels, sacks full,And my pockets full too!Huzza!
The men drink cider, make merry, and fire their
weapons (charged only with powder) at the tree. They return to the home and are
denied entrance no matter what the weather by the women indoors. When one of the
men guesses the name of the roast that is being prepared for them, all are let
in. The one who guessed the roast is named "King for the Evening" and presides
over the party until the wee hours.
A special shrine is made for the needles containing offerings of food and
scissors and thimbles. A pan of tofu (soybean curd) is the center of the shrine
and all the broken and bent needles are inserted into it. As the needles go into
the tofu, the sewer recites a special prayer in thanks for its fine service over
the year. The needles find their final resting place at sea, as devotees
everywhere wrap their tofu in paper and launch them out to sea.

This is a really cute design. The rose gold bows are what makes this ring; however the bow somehow snags on stuff easily. The diamonds are a low quality; they look a little cloudy. It might have been better if the designer put in CZs instead, they would have sparkled a lot more. I'm not sure the ring value is worth the price. The ring band is in sterling silver.Read More

If you are still having problems and don't pirate then send your syslog to PlanetBeing. If there are still problems he wants to know so he can fix them.
As it seems to be a recurring theme, maybe it should be looked into, but as it is so simple to fix it isn't a priority.
When it first happened MN was helping me troubleshoot it until someone else found the fix. Might asking about it again when he's not so busy.
Weather app working now after installing the update..i5 6.1 >>thank you evad3rs team!
OK, I managed to get it working. What worked for me is planetbeing's tip of uninstalling A**sync (after the new UiKit kit update), then deleting /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist using ifile. Then I rebooted (moment of panic when I lost all my app icons); tested weather app and found it to be working, then reinstalled A**sync from Cydia, rebooted again, and all my icons were back and all seems to be working fine.
If, like me, you were stuck and all the fixes weren't working and haven't tried these steps, I suggest you give it a go.
1) I uninstalled the utility (which I will describe because the mods on this site have now banned even typing the word) that allows your iDevice to sync any pirated apps to iTunes (it starts with an "A ," ends with a "c" & & has 7 letters)
2) I deleted "com.apple.mobile.installation.plist" & "com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore," (located in var>mobile>library>caches)
3) I rebooted & it worked!!!
*** Bonus: Next, I reinstalled the app described in step#1 for iOS 6 & rebooted... & the weather app STILL works fine!
NOTE: It's despicable that modmyi is actually banning (non-profane or threatening) words- alla some tyrannical regime.
I GUARANTEE a lot of traffic will be lost to sites that don't have such despotic moderators... starting with me ;-)
This site has never condoned pirating and I am sure would not miss you if you do decide to leave.
This is a site for modded who use jailbreaks for what they are meant for.
wow, I had a little panic attack.
4s, 6.0.1 unlocked with x-sim.
After updating with evasi0n, x-sim stopped working and reported invalid sim.
All fixed after removing the evasi0n update and hard reset.
P.S. weather app wasn't working anyway, reboot time was considerably improved... Was.. now it kind of boots several times before it actually turns on.
From PB
@planetbeing: If you still have trouble with Weather, it's bcus you've had ******* or another bad tweak installed at SOME POINT: restore and rejb w/1.1
