Last night we had dinner at the Cactus Ranch on University Avenue. It's kind of a combination southwest/barbecue/burger place but the menu states that the meats are smoked in-house so I gave the brisket a try and my wife ordered tacos made with smoked chicken. The food was pretty good; my beef was chopped rather than sliced but it was still moist with a light smoke flavor and a little bit (but not too much) of fat. I'd definitely go back to give the pulled pork a try, although I get to that part of the city about once every 10-12 years.
I thought about having a couple of Lone Stars with dinner but I remember it as being not very good from the times I had it back in the early 1980s, so I settled for PBR instead.

LANSING, Mich. - Attorney General Bill Schuette issued a consumer alert for Michigan residents who want to buy a car.
Schuette wants buyers to beware of flood-damaged cars in the national car market, in the wake of Superstorm Sandy's devastation.
"Michigan consumers should do their homework before they buy their next used car to avoid being duped by dealers selling refurbished cars without mentioning prior flood damages caused by Superstorm Sandy," said Schuette. "Floodwaters can destroy vital car components, so I urge all consumers to proceed with caution before spending their hard-earned cash on a waterlogged clunker."
Tips for car buyers:
- Seek independent inspection: Flood damage may be hard to spot and spending a few extra dollars for a automotive technician (with no relation to the
seller) to examine the car can make all the difference.
- Research the vehicle's history: There are many resources that provide vehicle history indicating whether the vehicle was in a flood region or issued a salvage title.
Consult the free National Motor Vehicle Title Information System at www.vehiclehistory.gov.
- Be aware of flood damage signs: To spot signs of flood damage, look for the vehicle having a mold smell, residue in the trunk, or premature rusting where it is
not expected.
- Review the title before purchase: Look for terms like "flood", "salvage" or other brands labeling the car as damaged.
But beware; never assume a clean title proves the vehicle is undamaged. The title may have been laundered across state lines or altered to conceal the brand.
Residents who believe they may have been tricked into buying a flood-damaged vehicle from a used car dealer are encouraged to file complaints online with the Secretary of State,Bureau of Information Security Regulatory Monitoring Division.
If consumers believe they have purchased a flood-damaged vehicle from an individual, they may also contact the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division toll-free: 887-765-8388.

I wanted to discuss Bobby Parnell today. but I think it's important to set the parameters, as set out by Sandy Alderson, for retaining David Wright and R.A. Dickey this winter.
First: he made it clear payroll will remain the same. What that statement alone means for 2013 is enormous.
Payroll was $91.6 million this year. Alderson can say it was $100 million all he wants, with calculations that have at various times included draft bonuses, 40-man roster salaries, etc. Since you're obviously always going to have a 40-man roster and draft picks, that's a bunch of accounting tricks to make it seem larger. $91.6 million was what was spent on the major league roster in 2012, and that's where things can change significantly, year-to-year.
So, in light of that, consider: $50 million for Jason Bay and Johan Santana, including buyouts, which Alderson acknowledged are part of his 2013 budget. $6.5 million for Frank Francisco. $3 million for Jon Niese. And, with no raise, $16 million for David Wright and $5 million for R.A. Dickey.
That's $80.5 million for six players. Pay the rest the major league minimum of $490,000 in 2013, and that's $9.3 million, for a total of $89.8 million.
That's no raise for Wright or Dickey. No Ike Davis, who is arbitration-eligible, no Daniel Murphy, who is arbitration eligible, no Kelly Shoppach or Scott Hairston, both of whom will make more than the major league minimum.
2013 also represents the only tactical advantage the Mets have over other teams in terms of an ability to negotiate a raise for Dickey and Wright. But once again, there's just not room to give either player a raise, given the salary constraints Alderson cited for next season. This isn't arguable. It's not in dispute.
So the Mets are going to Wright and Dickey, who have both indicated that they want to be paid market value, but more to the point, they want to win. And the Mets will have no additional help forthcoming for them in 2013, nor the prospect of a raise.
Exactly how this will act as an inducement for either player to choose a long-term deal over reaching free agency next winter, as the best player and pitcher on the market in a league about to be flush with television money, is anybody's guess. I suppose if they prefer security to the prospect of getting hurt in 2013 or struggling on the field, that's the selling point for them to sign now.
But Alderson's Wednesday presser made it clear: that's the extent of the sales pitch.

Quit has criticised Imperial Tobacco for flouting laws that ban free gifts with the sale of a tobacco product.
Imperial Tobacco has introduced a jumbo twin-pack of Horizon cigarettes contained in a complimentary cigarette tin, featuring tobacco advertising on the inside of the tin.
Acting Director of Quit, Ms Suzie Stillman said the purple Horizon Tin, which looks similar to a box of chocolates, is clearly a promotion aimed at enticing more people to purchase the product.
"We have serious concerns because this not only appears to be a free gift to those buying the product, but also the offer of the cigarette tin encourages the purchase of a large quantity of cigarettes in one hit."
"Unfortunately it seems as though Imperial are even willing to defy current tobacco legislation to lure customers to their deadly products."
Ms Stillman said the tin was also providing Imperial will a blank canvas on which to advertise their cigarette brands.
"The interior of the tin is full of images glamourising smoking and text praising the so-called taste, quality and popularity of the product."
"Unfortunately this is the latest in a long line of devious methods and gimmicks devised by the tobacco industry to advertise their hazardous product and get around Victoria's tobacco advertising restrictions."
Quit has called for Imperial's twin-pack of cigarettes with the complimentary tin to be immediately withdrawn from sale, and further action to be investigated.
According to Victorian Tobacco Act:
A person must not, in connection with the sale of a tobacco product or for the purpose of promoting the sale of a tobacco product - supply to the purchaser or any other person - any non-tobacco product or other benefit (whether or not a separate charge is made for that product or benefit).

Undisclosed: Fox Lets Bayh Do His Clients' Bidding
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Fox & Friends hosted former senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) this morning to rail against a tax on medical devices included in health care reform legislation passed by congress in 2010. Neither Bayh nor Fox News disclosed that Bayh is currently a partner at a law firm that represents several medical device companies.
Bayh, who was hired as a Fox News contributor last year and voted to pass health care reform when he was a senator, appeared on the network to criticize the tax for several minutes. Bayh joined the hosts in claiming the tax would harm innovation and cost jobs in the medical device industry. During the segment, Bayh expressed hope that current members of Congress would "do something" about the tax:
At one point, the network displayed a graphic purporting to show a "breakdown for the typical medical device company." The "source" listed on-screen for the data was "Evan Bayh, Former Senator (D-IN)."
Last January, Bayh joined D.C. law firm McGuireWoods LLP as a partner. On their website, McGuireWoods touts how they are "dedicated to providing legal services to clients in the pharmaceutical life sciences and medical device industries." Next month, the firm will host the "4th Annual Medical Device and Life Sciences Conference," which is dedicated to "addressing key legal and business matters focusing on innovation, investing and regulatory issues in the medical device sector." Bayh is scheduled to give the opening speech.
Bayh was introduced on Fox & Friends only as a "Fox News contributor and former Democratic Indiana Senator."
The Wall Street Journal, which, like Fox, has repeatedly failed to disclose the glaring conflicts of its contributors, did disclose Bayh's role at McGuireWoods when the paper published an anti-device tax editorial by him last week. NY Mag's Jonathan Chait pointed out in response to Bayh's column that the arguments against the device tax have been dismissed by the centrist Bloomberg View editorial page.
In that June editorial, the Bloomberg View editors wrote that "just about everything the medical-device industry says about the tax is either untrue or exaggerated" and that lawmakers pushing to repeal the tax "shouldn't be so gullible, even when -- perhaps especially when -- industry lobbyists produce studies seeming to back their claims."

text: MilchoPenchev 1178 Report post Posted January 7, 2013 I'm working on a 2d side scrolling game, and so far I have been making everything based on tiles - each tile has foreground textures and a background texture. This obviously has limitations to what it can do, as each tile background is a tiny piece and you can't actually get a huge background image displayed this way, unless you just tile a bunch of tile-able smaller ones. Obviously being able to place a background image of some sort gives a lot more freedom. But I'm having trouble deciding how to define a background image in the most extensible way. By background image I mean the standard background image that has 'depth' - i.e. it doesn't move with the level, but rather scrolls a small amount of the distance that the level moves by. Since my level design allows for various sizes in both height and width of the level, I have to account for that as well. While most background images can be expected to be tiled horizontally, tiling them vertically is obviously not going to work. Which makes me wonder how I could define an 'anchor' point, or starting position of the background image in relation to the level? Anyone here have any experience programming this sort of thing? Any ideas you guys can share would be greatly appreciated. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Nari alphabet is the creation by Thomas Slawson (email@example.com). It grew out a fascination with and study of various languages. Thomas is currently also developing an accompanying storyline of the imaginary people who will speak the Nari language. He has based the grammar of Nari on concepts borrowed from English, Hebrew, Russian and a few other languages, but has tried to keep the grammar very simple, avoiding exceptions and strange morphologies. He has endeavored with the words, however, to 'compose' completely new words, and has strived not to consciously borrow from other languages.
Thomas is a musician by practice (a composer specifically), and so his purpose was to focus on inventing words according to how he thought they should sound. Obviously this will result in the language being influenced by his culture and worldview, but that can't be avoided anyway.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.

Short covering seemed to boost corn at Friday's close. This week's rain will very likely get recently planted corn off to a good start. Next week's forecast sunshine will probably help as well, along with accelerating plantings in northern states. Recent technical action also favored bears. However, short covering before the weekend boosted most contracts at Friday's close. July corn slipped 0.75 cent to $4.835/bushel Friday afternoon, while December rose 0.5 cent to $4.81.
Trade news favored new crop soy futures Friday. Deferred CBOT soy futures outperformed their old-crop counterparts Thursday night and continued doing so Friday morning. News that an unknown buyer had purchased 180,000 tonnes of beans for 2014/15 delivery apparently supporting new-crop prices, whereas oil was surprisingly weak after the announced sale of 40,000 tonnes for 2013/14 delivery to China. Nearby futures also seemed to be suffering a hangover from Thursday's bearish NOPA crush report. July soybeans slid 5.25 cents to $14.65/bushel at their week-ending close, while July soyoil sank 0.29 cents to 40.75 cents/pound, and July soymeal slipped $1.2 to $480.2/ton.
Weather apparently exerting fresh pressure on the wheat markets Friday. News out of Ukraine seemingly confirmed worries about crop plantings there, but it did little to support wheat prices. Conversely, forecasts for weather very favorable for the domestic crop appeared to trigger fresh selling Friday morning. July CBOT wheat futures dropped 4.0 cents to $6.7425/bushel at their Friday settlement, while July KCBT wheat futures fell 11.0 cents to $7.6775, and July MWE futures plunged 15.75 to $7.3925.
Cattle traders may have been balancing positions ahead of the COF report. Cattle futures rose Friday despite Thursday's $2-$3/cwt cash decline. Bulls probably pointed to concurrent wholesale firmness and discounts already built into CME futures, but traders may have simply been evening-up positions ahead of the afternoon's monthly Cattle on Feed report. The late report was construed as neutral for next week's opening. June cattle advanced 0.50 cents to 137.90 cents/pound Friday afternoon, while December rose 0.55 to 144.77. Meanwhile, August feeder cattle ran up 0.90 cents to 193.32 cents/pound, and October surged 1.05 cents to
Pork slippage probably weighed on the nearby hog contracts. CME bulls are still anticipating a sizeable seasonal advance during late spring and summer, since June-August futures are trading at major premiums to spot values. However, the cash and wholesale markets struggled in late week action, with Friday's early pork weakness apparently weighing on nearby futures. June hogs settled 0.50 cents lower at 118.92 cents/pound Friday, and December skidded 0.10 cents to 93.77.

DECATUR, Ga. - The family of a Florida A&M drum major who died a year ago after being beaten during a hazing ritual plan a candlelight vigil on Monday to mark the anniversary.
Authorities have charged more than a dozen fellow band members in Robert Champion's death. Champion's family, who lives in Georgia, was recently offered a $300,000 settlement from the school. Their attorney has called the offer "substantively low."
Ten FAMU band members face felony hazing charges in the case, while two others face misdemeanor counts.
In their lawsuit, Champion's parents contend university officials didn't take action to stop hazing, though a dean proposed suspending the famed Marching 100 band just days before their son died.
A family spokesman says the vigil will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Decatur, Ga.
There have been changes on FAMU's campus since Champion's death. Students face restrictions on joining some organizations and they can't register for classes without signing an anti-hazing pledge.
"I don't know if it will stop it completely, but it's a start," student Davante Webb said.
The slow response to the death eventually brought the resignation of then-FAMU President James Ammons.
In July, university trustees authorized the hiring of the Hazing Czar to oversee all student activities. The university is still interviewing for that position.
Interim President Dr. Larry Robinson says the university is making progress.
"However, we think that we elevated their understanding and sensitivity to the issue of hazing," Robinson said.
Gov. Rick Scott says his prayers go out to the Champions.
"They need to come to a resolution with the Champion family, they need to make sure that there is absolutely no hazing ever going to happen again," Scott said. "They got to do the right things. It's a great institution. They got to raise the bar."
At last Saturday's Orlando Classic, football fans gave a moment of silence for Champion and hazing victims everywhere.

We made it to Bali on Friday evening accompanied by Wendy and Tom who joined us for the second leg of our trip. Bali is fresh and fragrant with bright flowers found everywhere from the Plumeria strands handed to us as we left the airport to the small colorful Hindu offerings set out each morning.
We started our first full day in Bali with a visit to the IDEP Foundation, an NGO that strives to "help people help themselves by cultivating resilient and sustainable communities." IDEP uses permaculture education to help the community in a variety of ways. They offer workshops on natural disaster preparedness and recovery by teaching earthquake-resistant building techniques and educating communities on how to sustainably rebuild after a natural disaster.
They work with school groups to teach organic horticulture techniques and have an outreach program with prisons to teach prisoners how to grow vegetables and save seeds. The IDEP farm consists of a small demonstration garden featuring permaculture practices to help teach the community about organic gardening. They have sites all around Indonesia and a few neighboring islands. We were incredibly impressed with their work. More information on the IDEP Foundation can be found at www.idepfoundation.org.
We ended our first day in Bali with a trip to Taman Tirtagannga, the water temple. This beautiful temple was once a retreat for the royal family. Today it is a pubic oasis, tucked away among the rice fields in eastern Bali.

Great for a first timer
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I picked these goggles up on a super sale. My pair has the green ion lenses which were great in the sun, they washed out a bit on a gray snowy day but that's my fault for not swapping in the included yellow lenses! I had zero fog issues, great viewing angles and they fit perfectly with my Smith Camber Helmet!
Great for the price
You're not too keen on dropping 200 bucks on goggles that either have way more tech than you need, or are just much more fancy than you want-- which is why these are freakin' great! They're pretty middle-of-the-road as far as price goes, but they're not cheap-- they ventilate well (hardly ever had a problem with fogging), they fit well, and they come in dope color-ways. They might not have the most visibility in the market, but you're gonna have to shell out some extra money if you really fee like you need 360-degree vision...
Best for price!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its not worse than Oakley Canopy and Dragon APX... At least for my anatomy of face. No fog, no distortion, fine view angles... Do you need more?)))
This Kyle agrees with the other Kyle

I was going to write a review about how this google is pretty good but honestly I can't say it any better than Kyle Wall. He wrote the post directly below this one. I work with him and He knows his stuff. You should follow him or any other gearhead who's review you find helpful.
Great helmet goggle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had three pair of Rogues. I really appreciate the simple lines and the great functionality. The foam is super comfortable and well distributed. The spherical lens and frame shape offer fantastic peripheral vision. They clean up well after a spill. The strap attachments hinge outward to accommodate the extra thickness of a helmet. The height of the lens from nose bridge to top isn't too tall for helmets causing pinching on your nose. They fit med to med/largish faces. Another great thing is the replacement lenses start at $39.95 which is SWEEEEETT!!.
The only thing that would make them a little better would be a siliconized head band so they grip your helmet real nice. Even still, these goggles are awesome. Simple, functional and styilin.
Good but not great.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Does everything you would expect a goggle to do but others do it for less money. Fit comfortably with with or without helmet. Good field of vision. Lens scratch very easily and they are not as fog resistant as I hoped.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these Goggles. they are by Far one of my favorit goggles out there. No onder why Most of Dragons Top athlets still have there signatur gogggle in the Rogue! you will not be disapointed.

Powder day at Timberline
I've been using the Nimbus Co-Op Red Ionized goggles this season and they are awesome.
Woodgrain / Red Ionized color
I really liked the fit and style of these goggles, but the red is more like pink. I ended up returning mine.
jet/gold lens
Amazingly baller
These goggles are sick. Seriously next level baller status.... especially if you can get them for about 50% off - like right now.
Buy with confidence. Ride with confidence. Everywhere you go it will be like the music from the first ride session in The Art of Flight.
Love these! get good peripheral vision and I forget I'm wearing them. Lenses are really sweet. Would buy a second pair in a second.
red ion in sierra bluebird
good enough for Gigi
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Tried them all, but kept the the Rogue because they fit my medium face best. The optics are excellent and rival any of the top brands. The peripheral vision is also very good...and only where you really need it (the sides).
I bought the version that includes the bonus yellow/blue ion lens. Dragon's website says they're only 35-45% virtual light transmission, so I was worried they'd be too dark for overcast/shadowed or storming conditions. However, the pamphlet that came with the goggles claims these lenses are actually 60-70% VLT. I think the website is wrong because I used them in a heavy snow storm and they weren't even close to being too dark.
The Red ion lens worked great in super bright sunny conditions. I didn't find myself squinting, at all....plus, they look great and are ultra reflective.
Dragon Rogue Goggle
Super nice goggles !!
Incredible day.
Super goggle
Great looking goggle, super lens and incredible peripheral vision...but, mine had a poor glue job on the nose area of the face foam. The box also arrived unclosed. The goggles were bulging out, the bag on the bonus lens was already opened and the protective film was half peeled back. QC needs a little work.
...however, they worked great on the mtn. The "jet" version ($159) comes with a bonus yellow/blue mirrored lens for low light that worked great in heavily snowing/cold conditions. The vision was HD and they didn't fog at all. The red ion mirror (other included lens) was perfect in bright sunny/bluebird conditions. The mirroring on the red lens is super opaque, so no one can see your eyes.
For those who complain about the "halo" effect created by the ion mirror, don't worry about it. Seems to me that halo actually increases snow definition, so if you aren't staring at your hand all day, you won't even notice the halo when actually riding.
Supercomfy! And very steezy!
My favorite goggle
An amazing goggle, all I'll ever need! Sweet graphics, comfy, functional, doesn't fog, cuts the glare, bottom line: great goggle, great price!
Awesome set of goggles
I've used these goggles for the past 2 seasons and I can say I've been completely satisfied with the quality. I own the TJ Shiller version, which has really cool graphics, and the lens on it has never had a fogging issue. They fit well while you have a helmet on and they fit a pretty normal sized face extremely well. I can't really find anything negative to say, so I'll just add that they are a great buy at this price range.
Does the powder/ionized model pretty much...
Does the powder/ionized model pretty much have an amber lens? I'm going boarding saturday and looking for something to use on a low light (snowy) day. Thanks
The ionized lenses have a mirroring effect which makes them great for sunny days. They also will work fine on low light days, just not ideal. I would suggest going with the Rose lens if you want it just for the low light days specifically.
Are these the same as the Dragon Rogue...
Are these the same as the Dragon Rogue 2012 LTD Artist Series Goggle?
It's the exact same goggle, just different colorway treatments. The Artist Series version (http://www.dogfunk.com/dragon-rogue-2012-ltd-artist-series-goggle?cmp_id=&rrType=ClickEV&rrProd=DRA0383) is also 'limited edition,' and thusly costs a little bit more.

Regular payment of child and medical support provides:
- Decreased conflict between parents.
- Increased involvement of the non-custodial parents.
- Increased chance of children reaching their full potential.

Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski gave little racing room to each other in the final laps of Sunday's AAA 500 at Texas Motorspeedway and set the mood for the remaining two races in the Chase.
Johnson dominated the majority of Sunday's action; however, the final few laps became a war of wills for the two title contenders with Johnson getting the decision at the final bell.
"That's the first time that we've really engaged at that level and raced each other that hard," said the five-time Champion of his battle with Keselowski over the final laps.
As the field took the green with six laps to go, Keselowski ran Johnson up the track and then traded sheet metal down the front stretch in an effort to keep the former champion behind him.
Johnson responded with some aggressive moves of his own on the green-white-checkered to take the win and a seven-point lead into the last two races.
"To his credit," said Johnson about his competitor's aggressiveness. "He did a nice job of getting right to the edge and we brought home race cars. We weren't wadded up like a bunch of fools."
Keselowski was able to hold off his competition over a series of restarts in the later stages of the event, but eventually ran out of luck.
"I knew I wasn't going to be able to execute every restart," said Keselowski afterwards. "I had to choose between wrecking him and winning the race, and it didn't seem right to wreck him."
Keselowski might have given Johnson a little room this time, but with time running out on his title hopes, I wouldn't look for that "Mr. Nice Guy" attitude to continue.
"I ran him hard and we're going to keep him honest," continued Keselowski on how he races for a championship. "I know if we keep running like this that we won't be beat."
Third place finisher Kyle Busch had a front row seat to the action and seemed to appreciate the effort put forth by the two title contenders.
"It was exciting," said Busch on the battle in front of him. "Those guys up there were battling. They battled hard, giving it everything they've got. That's what they've got to do if you're going to win a championship in the Sprint Cup Series."
The message was sent from both corners that the final two races will be a war between the two men sitting atop the standings. Can the seasoned veteran out-fox his young challenger or can the exuberance of youth prevail. No one knows the answer to that right now, but the next two weeks will surely be exciting.

DETROIT - As the season's first widespread snowstorm moves on, holiday travelers hope that means they can, too.
Check: Traffic conditions
The storm heads across the Great Lakes after dumping more than a foot of snow in parts of the Midwest and prompting airlines to cancel more than 1,000 flights.
Check: Gas prices
Most of the canceled flights were at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway international airports. Aviation officials said more than 350 flights were canceled at O'Hare and more than 150 at Midway.
Check: Forecast at Florida resorts
Southwest Airlines is anticipating normal operations this morning in Chicago. United Airlines also planned a full schedule, though both airlines cautioned travelers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
Blinding snow also is blamed for a 30-car pileup on Interstate 35 near Fort Dodge, Iowa. Two people died, including a 43-year-old Arkansas woman, Sgt. Scott Bright of the Iowa State Patrol said Wednesday.
At least 20,000 customers were without power in Iowa early Friday, most of them in the Des Moines area, according to MidAmerican Energy.
The storm -- the first blizzard of the season -- made travel treacherous throughout the region. Nebraska authorities temporarily closed much of snow-packed Interstate 80 through the state Thursday as blowing snow dangerously reduced visibility. The interstate was reopened later.
But motorists were advised to be cautious.
Things were not much better in Iowa, Bright said.
"When the winds start to blow, you can see about 5 feet in front of your vehicle" he said. "We've had major issues all over the place. We got around 10 to 12 inches throughout the state and it's a wet snow. We have around an inch of ice on our roadways."
Close to 100 accidents had been reported in Iowa by late Thursday morning, Bright said.
In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency, put the National Guard and state patrol on standby and closed state offices to the public in 20 counties most likely to be affected by the storm. Employees were still expected to report for work.
As much as 7 inches was already on the ground Thursday in parts of southern Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin State Patrol and National Weather Service urged people to avoid traveling.
The storm is expected to move to the northeast and southern Canada on Friday.

Complete June 2013
Why is WSDOT
improving this intersection?
The SR 26 and First St. intersection in Othello experienced a large number of crashes. This project is to reduce the number and severity of collisions at the junction of SR 26 and the SR 24 spur.Stage 1 of this project lowered the grade of SR 24 and Broadway Ave. underneath the bridge at SR 26. This allows large trucks and over height vehicles to use this north/south route into Othello instead of crossing SR 26 at First St.Stage 2 of this project eliminated some of the movements in the intersection, reducing conflict points reducing the potential for crashes.
The End Result
The project constructed a raised channelization island at the intersection of SR 26 and SR 24 spur, creating a right-in right-out scenario. A refuge lane was added for traffic turning left from First St. allowing drivers to make the turn in two movements. Columbia St. became an eastbound one-way street and Wahluke, a one-way westbound. Traffic affected by the movements that will no lnger be possible at the SR 26 and First St. intersection are re-routed onto Columbia and Wahluke.First St. became three lanes between SR 26 and Columbia Street and a new midblock pedestrian crossing was installed to replace the east/west crossing at SR 26. This allows drivers to better see pedestrians as well as improving ingress/egress to the businesses on that block.
Project Benefits
What is the project timeline?
Construction started April 22 and was substantially complete June 14, 2013-within the scheduled 35 working days (7 weeks).
Financial Information
Project signage will reflect the cost of construction engineering, project bid award and sales tax.
The project was advertised for private contractor bids in January. Three qualified bids were opened Feb. 21, 2013. On Feb. 25, Contract #8415 was awarded to Granite Construction Co. for 1,043,493.44 - 6% under the engineering estimate.

A CAMPAIGN to see a proposed housing development completed on a neglected building site has tasted success.
People living near to the former Volvo dealership site and land to the rear of 4 Whittington Road, Worcester, joined forces with the chairman of the Worcester Green Party, Louis Stephen, to call for the landowners to finish the work.
Mr Stephen presented a petition of 20 names to West Register (Realisations) Limited, a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, via the RBS bank in St Nicholas Street, Worcester, to make their feelings known.
A spokesman for the group confirmed work had started work on the site - opposite the Oak Apple pub - and was due for completion by the middle of next year.
"We have obtained planning permission for 5 new dwellings and a conversion of an existing Grade II Listed building on the site. We plan to start work in the next few months and aim to have building work completed by mid-2015."
Foundations for one of the plots had been laid before the November 2013 deadline set by Worcester City Council for development to begin.
Mr Stephen, who had concerns the initial work was carried out to prevent the planning application from lapsing, said: "It's fantastic news, I'm really pleased by it and really pleased they've given us some feedback of what their plans are."
The petition called for the landowner to build houses, actively market the site or make good the site by possibly grassing it over.

Grammy-nominated artist Matthew Santos has established himself as one of the rare and striking talents quickly emerging from the Chicago music scene. With an ethereal voice that has been the praise of artists such as Eddie Vedder, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, and Rihanna, Santos has secured his place in current music with his distinguished style and elusive musical gift. Far from all of the sound and fury of the modern music trends, Santos is quietly rising into one of the most remarkable voices of his generation.
While gaining comparisons to elements of Radiohead, Wilco, Jim James, Modest Mouse, Bon Iver, and Death Cab for Cutie, Tan Vampires have created a genre-less sound that is uniquely their own. Tan Vampires released their debut album, "For Physical Fitness", on September 20th, 2011 which NPR's All Songs Considered calls, "crammed with well-crafted songs that soar, twist and never blend into one another". During their record release week the band supported well known artists including Yo La Tengo and Okkervil River and also headlined three shows of their own, all of which were wildly successful. Tan Vampires are currently working on growing their dedicated fan base by playing shows around New England and in NYC. They are planning an EP release in 2012.

A coalition of 229 farm, rural, faith, consumer and environmental organizations from 45 states delivered a letter urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to protect the integrity of Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for meat products.
The 2008 Farm Bill included mandatory COOL provisions for beef, pork, poultry, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables and some nuts, but Canada and Mexico successfully challenged the implemented rules for meat products at the World Trade Organization as a barrier to international trade. The USDA has issued proposed new rules that simplify and clarify COOL to comply with the WTO decision.
"Consumers want more information about the source of their food, not less," said Chris Waldrop, director of the Food Policy Institute at Consumer Federation of America. "Strengthening the Country of Origin Label provides consumers with more accurate and precise information about the source of beef and pork products they purchase."
The proposed rules that the USDA issued in early March strengthen the COOL labels by ensuring that all meat from animals born, raised and processed in the United States will bear a "born, raised and slaughtered in the USA" label and eliminating some of the confusing, vague labeling provisions that were highlighted in the WTO ruling.
"U.S. farmers and ranchers take pride in what they produce, and consumers ought to be able to know the origins of their food," said National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson. "NFU has long supported COOL and urges the USDA to move forward with the new, more accurate, strengthened proposed rule."
Ben Burkett, president of the National Family Farm Coalition and a farmer from Mississippi, added: "COOL is very important for the farmer members of the Mississippi Association of Cooperatives as we market our products in our state and region. We strongly support the USDA's revisions on this critical issue."
Today's letter demonstrates the broad-based support for sensible country of origin labeling rules. "Consumer and farmer advocates pushed for COOL for more than a decade to overcome the largest food processing and meatpacking companies that wanted to hide the source of the food from consumers," said Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch.
"A regulatory fix is a preferred response to the WTO because the U.S. can preserve its sovereignty while simultaneously improving the accuracy of information conveyed to consumers," said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard.
The letter was submitted to the USDA as part of the regulatory comment period and sent to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack. The federal comment period closes on April 11, 2013, and the WTO ruling directed USDA to offer new COOL rules by May 23, 2013.

THORNBURY'S Tesco store has become one of the first in the country to implement a new recycling initiative for coffee packaging, which will benefit local Brownie groups.
Shoppers are being encouraged to drop off all brands of coffee packaging waste to a collection box now situated at the store in Midland Way.
The Coffee Packaging Brigade aims to save coffee packaging waste from landfill while raising funds to support Thornbury and surrounding area Brownies. Each unit of coffee packaging waste collected by the local community Kenco will be worth 2 pence.
Coffee giant Kenco partnered with recycling experts TerraCycle to set up the Coffee Packaging Brigade and appealed for people across the UK to find suitable locations in their communities that were willing to house a coffee packaging collection box.
Lisa Phillips, assistant leader for the 1st Thornbury Brownies, arranged for the Tesco store in Midland Way to house a collection box for the community.
Local people are now able to drop their waste coffee refill bags, coffee bean bags, single serving coffee sachets and coffee jar lids off to the public access collection box at the Thornbury Tesco store between the hours of 8am to 12 midnight Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Lisa, who will administrate the collections for the Thornbury Coffee Packaging Brigade, said: "Two TerraCycle points are earned for the weight of each coffee packaging unit that is returned, with each point being redeemable for a one pence contribution.
"The money raised will be used to help fund the Brownie centenary birthday celebrations. I encourage local people to drop off all their coffee packaging waste back to the collection box at the Thornbury Tesco store and tell all their friends and family to do the same. The aim is to not only save as much coffee packaging waste from landfill as possible but also to raise as much as possible for the Brownies."
The Coffee Packaging Brigade looks to extend the lifecycle of everyday coffee packaging waste whilst reducing landfill proliferation. At the same time there is a knock on effect of slowing the need to extract new resources from the planet. The coffee packaging waste will be recycled into generic plastic products such as park benches, watering cans and waste bins.
Emily Woodward-Smith, assistant brand manager for Kenco, said: "We encourage the people of Thornbury to really get behind the scheme to not only make a difference to the local environment but also to raise money for local charities."

I have a website which has more than 250 daily unique visitors and 3.000 daily pagewies. It is all about forex trading, economy and politics. I share forex charts, buy and sell signals, news, technical and fundamental analysis. I have been hosting my website on a free host byethost. Lately I have been receiving messages like "This mail is to let you know that your site has used over 30% of its daily CPU Quota." Whenever I try to enter my website I am directed to a "secure signup" page. It really is bad for our reputation. It makes us loose followers and revenue.
Please help us to find a good a-and a reasonable priced web hosting site for our website.
PS: Our website is wordpress site.
Since you are hitting your CPU resources on a Shared Hosting account, it is time for you to migrate to a VPS.
A VPS may be required but I'd think that a ticket at webhostingbuzz would get a good answer from their staff. I have three accounts with WHB and all are fine. Perhaps the specialized account for WordPress Hosting might be your best bet (I have a client who needed a Joomla account with its larger than usual CPU requirements and there's been no problem at all).
you should upgrade your hosting which allows more CPU resource usage but before that, try contacting your hosting company for support...
Everyone mentioned it but the next step for you is a VPS. I am surprised no one mentioned he needs a LINUX VPS, not just any VPS as he will need the PHP that comes with Linux.
Wrong. Linux does not come with PHP. PHP is installed like any other application. PHP runs on multiple platforms, it is not restricted to Linux.
As it were, I don't believe the OP requires a VPS (Virtual Private Server) what the OP needs to do is stop using a free hosting provider for their business.
I've always used 1&1, sign up to your local version, like there's a .com and a .co.uk for example, they do VPS though I've never used that particular hosting service, never had any downtime issues I'm aware of, prices are reasonable, customer service not awesome but fine.
The first step is to go to paid hosting. Choose someone reputable and reliable. Assuming your site is well configured and there are no errant scripts, you don't necessarily need a VPS for that level of traffic. Regardless, a good hosting company will be able to suggest the best platform for you to host on.
A lot of companies overload the basic hosting packages as an attempt to push you into paying for a higher performance package. Best thing to do is see about getting a more suitable hosting package.
Have you looked at any VPS offers yet? Let us know as you have not replied since opening this thread.
Here's a truly radical thought - ask your current host about upgrading to one of their paid hosting deals!!! At $3.99 p.m. it isn't exactly expensive, is it? Or does your site not warrant spending $3.99 a month on?
As the OP was in need of an "urgent" solution a month ago, and has never bothered to return, I presume they have found what they're looking for.
Thanks to those who contributed. Thread closed.

Marine's Machiko — By Diane M. Byrne
— July 2003
Blue Horizon Belle
|A famous globe-trotter that's been to places others only dream about is cruising again, thanks to visionary owners—and some dogs.
She was the kind of lady who turned men's heads, not so much because of her looks (although she was striking to many), but mostly because she was the closest thing to a celebrity within the yachting world. She gained fame worldwide for making what to others would be only pipe-dream passages, setting course for unusual, out-of-the-way regions like French Guyana, transiting the passage between the Solomon and Coral Seas, and crossing oceans (yes, oceans) on her own. During her 1,000-day circumnavigation, even Mother Nature seemed, for the most part, to be one of her many admirers—although at one point there were Force 6 conditions that admittedly got the better of her.
Yet despite her accomplishments and celebrity status, you won't find a biography or even a ghost-written autobiography of this adventurous spirit in your local bookstore, not even passing mentions of her in maritime history volumes. She doesn't do the lecture circuit, either. That's because "she" is the intrepid global explorer Starship, the Northern Marine-built 75-footer that voyaged 75,000 miles over a three-year period. (See "Starship Enterprise," July 1999, and "Strangers in a Strange Land," November 2000.) The quests she undertook with her then-owner, Michael Poliza, and her crew, a rotating assortment of scientists, journalists, and adventurers who gauged the condition of the world's oceans and related marine environments, were chronicled daily on a Web site, which thousands of cruisers and armchair travelers alike checked out regularly.
That Web site and Starship's function as a long-range, rugged cruiser are what convinced Chuck MacMahon of The Marine Group to recommend that his clients, a well-traveled couple, check out the yacht when the three of them, individually and collectively, began inspecting many similar yachts in her size range for purchase. In the decade that he's known the couple, MacMahon has developed a close relationship with them, serving as buyer's agent for their previous boat, a 57-foot Nordhavn, and as broker for the sale of that yacht. And they're not just a couple who happened to have purchased a boat and were looking to buy a bigger one for occasional use. Their jobs keep them extremely busy, so they treasure the times they can get away, and they've considered cruising the world once they've had enough of the rat race.
But why Starship, beyond the fact that she had the rugged style they were looking for? After all, she was not a yacht in the traditional sense, she was more of a floating multimedia platform, equipped with about a million dollars' worth of digital video and editing equipment, numerous cameras, and a digital photo lab. The reason came down to her proven seaworthiness, reliability, and safety, with the last of particular importance, as the couple's faithful cruising companions, two German shepherds, could access all decks with relative ease. When they inspected her, they found she could be refitted to even higher levels of each to meet their needs. Thus began a labor-intensive, six-month refit to transform her into Machiko (the wife's middle name), for which MacMahon took on another role for his clients: project manager.
The fact that the work was done essentially in MacMahon's backyard, at Harbor Towne Marina in Dania Beach, Florida, made it convenient for him. And even though the owners live out of state, the husband rented a house in the area to stay involved in the process. In fact, according to MacMahon, "He was there for three months every day."

Thread: For the Emperor!
Threaded View
The Third Battle of Iyo (cont.)On the left flank, my sole cavalry unit engaged Ozu cavalry and managed to route them, but not without losing about half of their strength. In control of that flank, my cavalry then proceeded to run down routed Ozu infantry that had broken after the bombardment and initial stages of the battle.
Cavalry meet head-to-head
The rest of the Ozu cavalry went around my right flank, where the only mounted soldiers I had was General Sakamoto's unit. Heavily outnumbered by rival cavalry, Sakamoto fought fiercely to hold the line but was ultimately overcome. The yari kachi I had held in reserve could not reach him in time to save him: Sakamoto died fighting the enemy, as a good soldier of the Empire must.
Yari kachi reach the general too late to save him
The Ozu are eventually routed, but there is no rest for the wicked as I continued to shell them even as they fled the field. The day was won, and all that was left to do is mop up the few survivors and march back into the city, triumphant once again. This time the Ozu shall remain just a dark chapter in the history of the empire.
A nearby village provides no respite for broken enemies

>General Running>Question about pace?
Now that was a bath...
Roads were made for journeys...
CPT Curmudgeon
Base miles base miles base miles.
You should not even contemplate speed work until A) You've run steadily for about a year, or B) You are not coming off an injury.
That being said, I said SPEED work. Not fast running. I think that you need to find out what your threshold is (the pace that you feel you can maintain forever), and then run a little slower than that. If it helps, get a HRM, and use a reliable and proven method for determining your training zones (go here: http://www.d3multisport.com/articles/determinezones.html)
If no HRM, you need to really listen to your body. On each and every run, you should finish pleasantly tired, not exhausted, but certainly not fresh. Doing this will build your aerobic base, and that is the key to any distance endurance event.
For a little more insight, check out the thread about us trying to get someone faster:
"You really can't go too slow on long runs ... because there are no drawbacks to running them slowly. Running them too fast, however, can compromise your recovery time and raise your injury risk." ~ Olympian Jeff Galloway
"I've always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners." ~ Olympian Sebastian Coe
Now you'll have to excuse me while I engage in some delightful hypocrisy and go check my own thread to see if I should be running 4 days per week w/2 tempo runs at 5-k pace versus 6-days per week with alternating long runs at MP +1:00 with alternating heelkick drills on opposite weekend and national holidays and when I should start doing intervals/strides and why my lactate just thresholded into my glycogen reserves ... blah blah zzzzzz .... or something like that.
I also felt that I should show a real commitment to running and know that I was in this for the long haul before spending the dollars. Seriously - Forest gump dressed better than me on a run.
Pfffft.....I wear an old pair of cotton Army-issued PT shorts. Most of that stuff is marketing. I will splurge on shoes, though. That's it.
You'd quake in your Asics.
I have that Mommy thing of not wasting money on myself I suppose. I also felt that I should show a real commitment to running and know that I was in this for the long haul before spending the dollars.

1) This sure wasn't the most exciting game ever played. But you know what? Ya boys don't mind that either. Want to grind? Want to make it a battle for chances? Fine with them. Afterwards, John Tortorella said this is the type of game the Rangers expect to have to fight through this last third of the season — like the game against the Devils — where scoring is low, games are tight. Again, that's OK with these Rangers.
2) I did complain yesterday about the lack of noise in the building, and there was silence at times. I ducked for cover when I suggested that Knicks games are louder. But it was a matinee and it was kids' day and there were sure a lot of youngsters in the building. And when the kids' folks got going, the kids got into it, too, especially late.
3) I thought at times that the Rangers — even though there was no nasty to this game, and it wasn't exceptionally physical — kind of dampened the Capitals' compete level. It sure looked like some of them weren't interested in getting involved in all of that, including, at times, Mr. Ovechkin, former monster. Ovechkin (on some shifts)=glider.
4) The first period was kinda like the all-star game, minus the offense.
5) How about this statement start: Dan Block Ness Monster Girardi takes an Ovechkin bomb right off the melon? Fortunately it caught all helmet. And Block Ness laughed all the way to the bench.
6) Nobody was laughing at Ryan McDonagh when he scored that goal and fell in a heap, holding his left knee. Apparently McDonagh has this trick kneecap that acts up, or moves, or tweaks every once in a while throughout his career. It hurts for a while and then he gets through it. McDonagh didn't miss a shift, played an amazing game, and finally — despite all the great games and big goals he's had this season — got to wear the Broadway Hat for the first time.
7) Tortorella also pointed out the group of five in front of Henrik Lundqvist who did such a number on Ovechkin's line: That being Brandon (game-winning, 48-game-slump-busting, short-handed goal) Prust, Brian Boyle and Brandon Dubinsky, Girardi and McMonster. And that their best defensive work was owning the puck. And they did. One of the Washington writers sitting next to me said a couple of times in the first two periods, "My God, they've spent the whole game in their own end." Again, maybe that's not thrill-a-minute, but boy is it effective.
8) And while the grinders won this game, the Rangers got yet another goal from their heart, soul and captain Ryan Callahan, who lost his balance kicking a pass to his stick, and while falling scored a beauty of a goal. And they got another really good game from the GAS Line, especially that No. 10 guy who could have had a bushel of goals with a little luck.
9) You know whose game I've really liked a lot lately? John Mitchell's.
10) The Caps really might not make the playoffs this year, and the Rangers will, and that trading place wasn't lost on a lot of people. Prust said, "I guess it's a little different. They were the team with the bull's eye on their back. Now it's kind of us. It's definitely a little different … I like it this way a lot better." Washington really misses Nick Backstrom (concussion) and Mike Green (sports hernia surgery). Backstrom might not make it back this season. And Mike Knuble was a healthy scratch (deadline deal candidate?) All of those guys and Ovechkin and the Caps' stars have been in the lineup together for eight games this year, and they're 8-0.
11) Saw two of my favorite size small ex-Rangers tough guys: George McPhee (the Capitals GM) and Pat Verbeek, scouting for Tampa Bay. I was able to clear up an argument that was ongoing up in Canada recently, when somebody suggested Ray Ferraro was the original "Little Ball of Hate." Verbeek insisted that he was the original. That's what I had thought all along.
12) I said so yesterday, that I thought it was a great idea to play Lundqvist back-to-back … and I'd certainly play him in Boston tomorrow. The guy's a horse and a competitor and he wants to play every game, and there's nothing wrong with letting him do it and feeling pushed once in a while. God knows he excelled when he had to play every game after the deadline last year, and he'd happily play every game from now on out, and he will be playing every game when the tournament begins.
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Brandon Prust.
2) Ryan McDonagh.
3) Dan Girardi.
Here is my column from the game, in The Journal News and on LoHud.com today.

NSW Treasurer Mike Baird has denied that backing consideration of extra runways at Sydney Airport puts him at odds with the premier's Canberra airport proposal.
Mr Baird says a plan to build a fourth and fifth runway at Sydney Airport on reclaimed land in Botany Bay should be considered in detail.
Premier Barry O'Farrell has backed a proposal for Canberra airport to be expanded and linked to Sydney by a high-speed rail network.
Mr Baird says his support for a closer look at extra runways at Sydney Airport is a case of maximising existing infrastructure before taking the next step and moving to new infrastructure.
"Certainly doing that is very consistent with the premier's views," he told Macquarie Radio on Monday.
The Sydney Airport expansion has been costed at $5.2 billion - half the cost of a second airport - in this year's joint federal-state study on Sydney aviation capacity.
Mr Baird said he believed the Sydney Airport company and the federal and NSW governments could all contribute to funding the extra runways.

We hear the question all the time: "What is that question mark next to my photos in Lightroom?" Sometimes, the question takes a more panicked form: "Where did my photos go??? Lightroom lost my photos. Help!"
Don't worry. Lightroom will find them.
If you move photos in the OS away from the location where Lightroom thinks they are, Lightroom loses the link to them. When that happens, you'll see a little question-mark icon in the image thumbnail in the Library module, and in the Develop module, you'll see a big message: "The file named XXX is offline or missing."
To relink the photos, see the Lightroom Community Help topic Locate missing photos. There's even a link to a video tutorial of the process as well.
If you move entire folders of photos in the OS and break the link in Lightroom, the folder appears dim in the Folders panel and has a question-mark icon.
To restore broken links to folders, see the Help topic Locate missing folders. The topic Synchronize folders might be useful, too.
To prevent broken links between Lightroom and the folders and photos in your catalog, remember these tips:
- Don't move photos or folders in the Finder (Mac OS) or Explorer (Windows). Do it from within Lightroom.
- If you store photos on an external hard drive, make sure it is attached and powered on when you start Lightroom. If the drive is disconnected, Lightroom will lose the links to the photos, even if they haven't been moved.

When it comes to colors, beige might be the best one to describe this economic recovery: dull, boring, but not nonexistent.
The Federal Reserve's latest Beige Book -- the informal review by the Federal Reserve banks of economic conditions in their districts -- shows broad but measured growth across a broad range of industries.
Manufacturing generally posted modest gains, with automobile manufacturing continuing to drive growth in the Midwest. The renaissance in real estate is also contributing to growth in several industries, including residential and nonresidential construction and building material manufacturing.
Bankers may also be benefiting. Loan demand is increasing in most Federal Reserve districts, and mortgage lending has begun to shift from refinancing to new-home loans.
Consumers have grown somewhat less stingy over the last month, with retail spending in many districts showing "modest or moderate" growth. It's hard to tell where they're getting more spending money, though. While hiring held steady, it was largely in the form of temporary and part-time employment, according to the report. Wages were also largely stagnant.
Congress grills Bernanke
In other Fed news, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke went before the House Financial Services Committee today to deliver his semiannual report on monetary policy.
In prepared remarks, Bernanke appeared to chide Congress for harming the economic recovery through restrictive fiscal policy and warn lawmakers that an ugly battle over raising the debt ceiling could do further damage.
"Risks remain that tight federal fiscal policy will restrain economic growth over the next few quarters by more than we currently expect, or that the debate concerning other fiscal policy issues, such as the status of the debt ceiling, will evolve in a way that could hamper the recovery," he said.
Bernanke also pledged to keep a close eye on economic indicators and adjust the Fed's policy accordingly, rather than follow a rigid time table. Still, Bernanke said that the Federal Open Market Committee expects to begin cutting back on quantitative easing before the end of the year. An increase in the key federal funds rate is likely farther off, with Bernanke saying the FOMC needed to see more progress on jobs before any rate hike.

In the 1980s, British radio presenter Steve Wright used to stage phone-ins to his show from a ranting imaginary listener, "Mr Angry from Purley".
Well, the phone lines from Purley are burning up, judging from some of the reactions to Vodafone's agreed £1bn cash takeover of Cable & Wireless Worldwide, which was created by the demerger from Cable & Wireless in 2010. It's rare to find a deal that has got up so many people's noses.
Investors may be happy with a 38p-a-share bid, compared with the 19.8p at which CW&W stock languished in February before an approach was made. But they are angry about the drop in CW&W's share price since demerger, and those who enjoyed the growth spurt of the late 1990s are even angrier about the overall decline of the once-mighty Cable & Wireless group, a descendant of the Victorian consortium that laid the first submarine cable across the Atlantic . One City fund manager told the FT recently that Cable & Wireless Group was "the worst stock he ever bought". Read more
