Clearing away C-U blight easier said than done
CHAMPAIGN — There are a lot of people happy to see what's happening on Neil Street.
The Hyatt Place hotel underway at Neil and Church streets is filling that "hole in the ground" in the heart of downtown Champaign after the Metropolitan Building burned down in 2008. The distressed Gateway Studios once described by a city councilman as a "black eye" on the community is coming down after its residents were evacuated in 2009.
Highly visible vacant properties like these catch a lot of grief from locals, so many breathed a sigh of relief when those two deals went through. The hotel and Gateway Studios projects, however, might not have moved forward without nudges from the city — and there are plenty more notoriously empty commercial buildings throughout Champaign-Urbana.
And after years of recession and shrinking or closing businesses, local officials say Champaign is overbuilt in a few areas. There's no sign of new retail filling the empty storefronts in the Country Fair Shopping Center anytime soon, and the old Circuit City on North Prospect is near unusable.
That has all kinds of effects, city officials say — it can depress surrounding property values and generate fire hazards. Entire blocks have burned down from fires that started in empty buildings. Sometimes it just plain looks bad.
"If we don't in-fill properties, then they actually become a negative for the city," said Planning and Development Director Bruce Knight. "They detract from property values; they aren't generating revenue themselves. So it becomes a bigger and bigger problem for the city to deal with."
The old AC Humko property on North Mattis Avenue soon will become a new warehouse for Kraft Foods, but it's another project that required special incentives from the city. Incentives for high-profile development projects seem to have become common lately, but they are not a magic bullet to rid the city of blight.
'Very few tools'
The problem is that the city actually does not have a whole lot of pull in getting these kinds of properties redeveloped. While it can provide a nudge in the form of incentives or tax rebates when a deal comes along, the hard part is getting the deal to come along.
It is easier for the city to solicit interest in a property when it actually owns the property. That is the case for an empty lot on the southeast corner of Neil Street and Bradley Avenue.
City officials hope to seek proposals for that lot soon. It will be rolled in to the Bristol Park redevelopment, Knight said, which is still in the planning stages.
When a private owner has control of a property, city officials cannot really step in until things start getting out of hand. It is up to the private owner and that person's real-estate agents to drum up some action.
"We have very few tools to work with," Knight said. "If a property reaches a certain condition, you can declare it a dangerous condition."
That's what happened with the Gateway Studios. It was first declared unlivable in 2009, when its residents were evacuated. But there it stood, empty for four years, before demolition finally started this month — largely because the city spent time getting a court order to tear it down.
With that court order, city officials would have been able to demolish the Gateway Studios themselves, and they very nearly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars upfront to do so. Then a new owner, Kelly Dillard, got his proposal in just under the deadline and started the project himself.
Dillard already has much of the building in pieces on the ground. It's a welcome sight to city officials and police, who spent a lot of time and effort — and about $14,000 — to keep it from getting out of hand for four years.
Dillard said he plans to have the building completely down no later than May of next year. Some areas still need asbestos removal and will take longer than the sections already torn down.
But just because the building is torn down does not mean it will be easily redeveloped. Dillard is asking for help from the city — help that Knight said the city likely will provide — to find an interested developer once the site is cleared and ready for new construction.
Dillard said he does not yet know what kind of development might take the place of the infamous Gateway Studios. City officials had estimated the land could be worth $1.2 million once it's ready.
"We'll sell it to anyone who wants to buy it," Dillard said.
Greener fields
Another hurdle for redeveloping or reusing existing space is that it is not always competitive with building a new facility on the edge of town. The Circuit City on North Prospect Avenue, which closed in 2009, is a good example.
Knight said the city has heard of interest in the Circuit City location — but the place is such a mess that it does not make complete sense for the prospective buyer to locate there.
"They've indicated that it's gotten into such a condition that they would need assistance to get it up to condition," Knight said.
Without that assistance, Knight said, getting the old Circuit City location ready for re-use might not be competitive with moving into a "greenfield" location, or new construction on previously undeveloped land.
City officials prefer in-fill development over greenfield development because the city gets a higher return — extra tax revenue without having to extend city services like roads, sewers, police and fire coverage to a new location.
"Inherently, it's more efficient for us to serve an in-fill site than a greenfield site," Knight said.
Another consideration is that Champaign County has some of the richest agricultural land in the world, Knight said. Greenfield development often means the end for a piece of farmland.
The city has an "in-fill development program," which it uses to offer tax rebates to people willing to rebuild or re-use previously developed land. For example, the hotel underway at Neil and Church streets will have new tax revenues rebated for up to $3 million or seven years after it opens.
The city also approved up to $200,000 in tax rebates to help along the $1.3 million renovation of the Illinois Central Railroad Depot on the eastern part of downtown Champaign. That is where Black Dog Smoke & Ale House is expected to open a second location.
The program does not offer cash upfront — it only takes the new city revenue that would not have existed had the project never moved forward and returns it to the builder. The goal, Knight said, is to "overcome the market deficiency that's keeping that property from being developed otherwise."
"Basically you're looking at a property that has more risk than reward," Knight said.
Another perfect candidate for the program: the Gateway Studios property.
'A lot of space'
The parking lot of Country Fair Shopping Center off University and Mattis avenues does not fill up. There are a lot of parking spaces — and a lot of empty storefronts.
The challenge there, Knight said, is that there's just not a market for retail in that area. The problem was so apparent that, several years ago, the city conducted a market study.
"It showed there was more commercial square footage in that area than the demographics could support by double," Knight said. "One of the challenges there is there's a lot of space."
Space for retail or similar types of business is the city's realm, but the Champaign County Economic Development Corporation often fields requests for companies looking for office or industrial space.
The problem: Like retail space at Country Fair, there's too much vacant office space in Champaign County, said EDC Deputy Director Erik Kotewa. It's overbuilt by about 400,000 square feet, he said.
"When people talk about the commercial vacancy rate here, it's a problem," he said.
He said that abundance of space can be attributed to a number of factors. Some call centers closed right around the time the recession hit. Businesses started shrinking, which meant they needed less space.
"I think eventually we'll start to come out, but I think some of these companies have learned to be leaner," Kotewa said.
When the EDC gets a "lead" on a business looking for space, it tries to steer them to existing vacant office space: the County Plaza building in downtown Urbana or the M2 building in downtown Champaign are good options. Rantoul has some space, too.
Sometimes that does not work. For whatever reason, the existing options do not fit.
"Sometimes they just have to have new space," Kotewa said.
That being the case, getting a "lead" to lease existing space isn't all that difficult. The problem is getting a lead at all.
"It's not too hard to get people to take the existing space," Kotewa said. "It's getting people to want the existing space."
Problem properties?
Gateway Studios
Address: 1505 N. Neil St., C.
Closed: 2009.
Status: Demolition in process.
New owner Kelly Dillard said the building will be torn down by May at the latest. He will then seek to redevelop the property with city assistance. What might go in is still up in the air.
Circuit City
Address: 2006 N. Prospect Ave.
Closed: 2009.
Status: No action.
The old Circuit City would need some help to attract a new tenant. City officials say that, without some kind of financial assistance, the cost to fix it up might make it noncompetitive with new development.
Pages For All Ages
Address: 1201 Savoy Plaza Lane, Savoy.
Closed: 2009.
Status: No action.
Bookstore Pages For All Ages became a victim of recession in 2009, and Savoy Village Manager Richard Helton said, as far as he knows, there's nothing new to report other than mild interest over the past few months without any results.
Neil and Bradley lot
Address: 1100 block of North Neil St.
Closed: n/a.
Status: In planning.
The city owns the empty lot on the southeast corner of Neil Street and Bradley Avenue and hopes to develop it as part of its Bristol Park project. The project remains in the planning stages, but the city hopes to attract a developer to build.
Country Fair Shopping Center
Address: 200 block of South Mattis Avenue.
Closed: n/a.
Status: No action.
While the shopping center is home to a number of retail stores, many of its storefronts are empty. A Champaign report revealed there is double the retail square footage in the immediate area than what the market can support.

An in fill policy deserves applauds. The visuals provided in the story might cause any taxpayer to wonder why Unit 4 has to go to the edge of the community, beyond the freeway, to find space for a new HS site. Creative imagination is missing as to how Unit 4 can in fill. The imagination is stuck in old education paradigms, not moving forward to how teaching will be done for the next 5 decades along with a perceived expectation that athletics have to be contiguous to the building. Why are the athletics part of a school district rather than a park district? Where is the real two-way community conversation?
"And after years of recession and shrinking or closing businesses, local officials say Champaign is overbuilt in a few areas...just because the building is torn down does not mean it will be easily redeveloped...Champaign County Economic Development Corporation often fields requests for companies looking for office or industrial space. ...the problem: Like retail space at Country Fair, there's too much vacant office space in Champaign County,... It's overbuilt by about 400,000 square feet,..."
What we got here is failure to see the big picture. The big picture is what will be the jobs of the future. What will a high school graduate do for work after receiving their diploma? Until you answer that question, there is nothing new under this sun that could require more "development." The top priority of having adequate athletic facilities may be a starting point for what's wrong with our brains to tackle these design issues.
Another design flaw hindering our abilities to solve these problems is found in the photograph to this article. Look at the viable materials going into the dumpster that no scientist, no manufacturer, no contractor, no architect, no artist, no carpenter, ect. has offered to reclaim into servicable new products, like low income shelters, furniture, fencing, garages, compressed 4 X 8 sheets of particle boards, gardening amenities, sculptures, ect....instead of just tearing down the building and throwing all that non-biodegradable plastics, metals, ect. into the landfill. We should be parting it, sorting it, and re-using the salvagable materials.
"But that would take too long,"....like what? Waiting 4 years for someone to do something? Such "un-building" projects could be done in the same amount of time, if not less, if you had 1000 people working on it, instead of one guy on a back hoe.
Monthly labor costs would be $264,000. Watch the money change hands under the current paradigm and it'll be about the same costs with the end result additional contamination of the landfill/aquifer, a green plot of grass, and we're still going to be waiting for somebody to don the Big Capitalist Pants to "develop" the property (to what? for whom?)
We could have 1000 people working, the project done, all those salvaged goods, additional work to convert the material into re-usable products, potential recoup of the costs in future sales, and all the social benefits that happen when people work for a living.
You have no need for new development if you have too many unemployed people unable to be customers for the new businesses filling the office spaces. What business wants to set up shop in a county with the 3rd highest poverty rate in the state? (1 in 4)
The incentives must be toward paying unemployed people for work we need done. What is the work? Where does the money come from to pay the unemployed? Right now, you have taxes paying people to be idle and merely transfering your taxes back to grocery stores, power companies and landlords. Maybe old grocery stores, old power companies, and old landlords like it this way, I don't know. They certainly don't need any new developments.

'You can't discriminate about discriminating' - Eddie McGuire
The President of the Collingwood Football Club reflects on the wider issues of discrimination in Australia after a 13 year old girl called Swans player Adam Goodes an "ape" on the weekend, while Professor Kevin Dunn points to research that found 58% of secondary school teachers think racist behaviour is a problem in NSW schools.

Was it a silly mistake by a 13 year old girl who didn't realise the meaning of her words? Or is it a wider reflection of Australia's tolerance towards discrimination in general?
After a weekend when the taunts of a 13 year old regional Victorian girl towards an AFL legend dominated the media, these are the questions that are now being asked. Especially by the President of the Collingwood Football Club who apologised to victim Adam Goodes after the game on Saturday.
Adam Spencer spoke with Collingwood's Eddie McGuire this morning, and the Collingwood president made it clear that discrimination not only existed in all levels of Australian society, but needed to be tackled head on across the board.
'We get mixed messages on this all the time,' he told Adam.
'I laugh when the politicians stand up on these things. These are the same people who crawl over each other to tell people how hard they are going to be on people of other nationalities... and who line up to say how tough they are in banning homosexuals from having same sex marriage. You can?t discriminate about discriminating.'
'We have to decide whether we are going to be a red-neck hick country, or we are going to be a country that is very much involved in tolerance. Somebody saying this at the football is a very, very long trickledown effect.'
This attitude, Eddie McGuire went on to say, is reflected not only in Australian sport, but in all areas of life at the moment, including talkback radio.
Professor Kevin Dunn, Dean of Social Sciences and Psychology at the University of Western Sydney points to research that found 58% of secondary school teachers think racist behaviour is a problem in NSW schools and 16% of Australians have had race hate aimed directly at them.
Professor Dunn outlined the materials available to the Eductaion Deptrtment in the fight against racism in his conversation with Linda Mottram.
Professor Dunn told Linda Mottram, 'Racism is learnt behaviour , no one is born racist , and it has to be unlearned as well .'
McGuire told listeners of what transpired in the conversation between him and Goodes.
'I asked (Adam Goodes) what happened and what was his recollection of the incident - just to get it straight from him - and when he told me what happened I said we unconditionally apologise to you. This is something that shouldn't have happened to you, you should have left the ground as a conquering hero in Indigenous Week.'
'I was shattered for him that he left the ground with his head down rather than his arms up,' he told Adam Spencer. 'I said to him look, don't let this get to you.'
Eddie McGuire also told Adam about his conversation with the 13 year old girl in question, who was taken away from the stand by security and questioned by police, before being released.
'I spoke with the 13 yr old girl, she didn't even know that it was racist. She might have lit a fuse she didn't even understand.'
'She was a 13 yr old girl from country Victoria. She had no idea what she was doing, what she was saying, or anything else.'
This attitude, Eddie McGuire went on to say, is reflected not only in Australian sport, but in all areas of life at the moment, including talkback radio.
'People become angry now. They think that everyone owes them something, that a football club owes them. Go and support your team, barrack for them and get behind them. You don't have to stand there and yell abuse at the opposition.'
'I enjoy the banter (at a game), of course I do. I yell out at the footy, I scream at the umpire when there's a dodgy decision; it's a great release and that's what the whole fun of going to the football is. But you don't have to go there with bile coming out of your mouth every time an opposition footballer gets the ball,' he said.

Jamie Mitchell sends it on Day One. Photo: Seth de Roulet
I know, I know — it seems silly to be reporting on the first swell of the Maverick's season now, given the forecast of bigger and better surf to come. But opening day(s) can often foreshadow the winter ahead — the people, the trends, etc. — so it's fun to look around and relay some observations. Plus, I probably won't be out there when it's much bigger, so I best opine while I still have an in-lineup perspective.
It was really busy on both Thursday evening and Friday morning. Like, 40-plus people busy. You'll be hearing more and more about the crowds this season, as increased safety and hype draws countless new people into lineups (and over the ledge) at Mav's and Jaws and beyond. Sure, drowning is a real concern, but what isn't talked about as much is having 400 feet of fiberglass focused in such a dense area. Boards swinging, people sprint-paddling out to get over a wave while others paddle in to catch it. It's sketchy. I saw one guy out there with a helmet and it made total sense. And there are a lot "shared" waves. I burned and was burned on Friday morning. Which doesn't bother me so much, as I think it's necessary to support the increased crowds, but there are certain locals you just have to yield to (see Skindog's Instagram). That said, opening day is historically busy, everyone thirsty after a hot summer, and crowds tend to ease as winter passes and people's boards, and spirits, break.

Young Locals
You'd think Half Moon Bay would produce countless Maverick's superstars, but not since Jeff Clark and Ion Banner and maybe Tim West Jr. has team HMB really been making moves(I'm sure we'll hear a few more in the comments section). I think that's about to change. Fourteen-year-old Luca Padua has had a great start to his second season at Mav's, knifing late drops in the bowl on his backhand. Him and his buddies, like Hunter Murrison and Thomas Lungard, both in their late teens, are dedicated and hungry and talented. Not to mention good kids. It was hilarious to hear Luca talking about needing to go in on Friday morning because he told his parents he was going to make it to fourth period. Turns out, he didn't make it until fifth-period biology. Then he finished the school day and paddled back out.)
Going Left
Maybe it's because the waves were smallish (12 feet, occasional 15-footer), or maybe the crowd was forcing it, but a lot of guys were hunting the lefts. Damien Hobgood, Manny Resano and a few other goofies were among them. But what got me most fired up was seeing Ryan Augenstein take off on the bowl, pig dog down the face and dig his hip into the wave in an attempt to slow down and get barreled. It's only a matter of time.

Girl Talk
The Titans of Mavericks contest has introduced a women's heat into the event and, like any decision surrounding any contest ever at Maverick's, it's come with some drama. Mostly because Bianca Valenti, a Mav's regular and the most vocal advocate for women's inclusion in the contest, was left off the list. Now, I understand that no matter what, you can't please everyone. And depending on how the Titan's committee decided to frame their choices, they can make a case for any of the six girls they chose ahead of Bianca (based on years surfing Mav's, or adding international diversity to the mix, for example). But with an event that has a history of playing politics (see: Grant "Twiggy" Baker and Peter Mel), it wouldn't be surprising if Bianca's assertiveness got her punished this year. Regardless, Bianca was out there Friday morning, smiling and getting bombs. She's just getting better and better and, when she does make it into the contest, she'll be a favorite. (Side note: Savannah Shaughnessy, likely the best girl to ever surf Maverick's, is still sidelined with a severe knee injury…in case you were wondering why she wasn't on the list, either.)
Family Reunion
In my mind, the best thing about Maverick's, and big-wave surfing in general, is the community. Every season opener is like the first day of school after summer break. You get to see friends you only see seasonally. There are a lot of high-fives and one-armed hugs with one eye on the horizon. Everyone's catching up. Who got new jobs, new wives, new babies, new boards. Predictions are made for the day, the swell, the winter. It's surprisingly congenial. Until a set comes. Then there's drama. And with the North Pacific off to a strong early start, this could be a year of great theatrics.
Every familial rendezvous has its ups and downs. Pete Mel catches the sour end of this dispute. Photo: Seth de Roulet

Brad Pitt Did NOT Pee On Airport Tarmac, Despite Reports
Brad Pitt did NOT pee on the tarmac at the International Falls Airport in Minnesota, despite a slew of inaccurate reports. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the claim. We're told it's "total and absolute BS."
The false allegation came from the radio show, "Colleen & Bradley," on local St. Paul station MyTalk 107.1. On Friday, the hosts alleged Angelina Jolie and Pitt's plane fight spilled out onto the airport's runway "at which point," said Colleen Lindstrom, "Brad Pitt relieved himself on the tarmac." Her co-host Bradley Traynor chimed in, "Clearly, [Pitt] was inebriated, or like under the influence. He was a hot mess."
But that wasn't all. Lindstrom further claimed Pitt "tried to steal" a fuel truck on the tarmac, which he then crashed into another vehicle that was on the landing strip. And while there was no police report or paperwork at the airport to back up their story, Traynor said he knew their account was true. "We got a source who called with the details," and he assured everyone it was accurate "because's she's a listener."
Neither Lindstorm nor Traynor revealed whether the anonymous radio caller was named "Anita Drink" or "Jenna Tolls." While it's true that Pitt was drunk on the plane, and got into an altercation with Jolie and their teenaged son Maddox, the actor didn't pee on the International Falls Airport's runway. An impeccable Pitt insider assures Gossip Cop the urinating on the tarmac story is "total and absolute BS." As more inaccurate stories are published, Gossip Cop will continue to separate what's fact and what's fiction about the Pitt and Jolie divorce.

John Malpas reports
BAR Council chair Peter Goldsmith has defended the fees paid out to the silks involved in the Barlow Clowes fraud trial.
Details of the fees were released by the Lord Chancellor's Department just days before the publication of the Green Paper on legal aid reform.
Complaining of "unwarranted and misleading" attacks on a tiny minority of legal aid cases, he warns of a hidden agenda to weaken the legal aid system fundamentally.
Goldsmith says Anthony Hacking QC, who defended financier Peter Clowes in the 112-day trial, received the equivalent of around £50 an hour gross rate – "substantially less than many of the other professionals working for defence and prosecution in the case".
He adds that QCs in serious fraud cases "are very few in number, working at the top of their profession on matters of the greatest complexity".
The trial cost £6.5 million in legal aid with £1 million paid out to four QCs acting for the defendants.

Amumu Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The main focus of this team set up is damage, with the ability to take alot of damage yourself. I focused on a hard hitting tank such as Amumu, with very powerful offtanks for extra damage ie. Irelia and Swain (although Swain isn't an "offtank", he's certainly one of the most durable AP casters). I also wanted some good reliable dps in the form of a ranged carry and chose Corki for his true damage and his long range capability. Taric as a support is also an offtank, with the ability to keep both himself and Corki alive.
I believe this team comp to be one of the strongest possible, with 4 out of the 5 champions very tanky, while putting out some awesome amounts of damage.
Laning Phase
Amumu - Jungling, putting out as many ganks as possible to give top/mid the advantage early. Like a baws. After level 6, the buffs should primarily be going to Swain and Irelia. Swain can easily pick up blue, with Irelia coming for the red. Swain already has a root and slow and Taric has a stun, so the slow from the red buff is better on Irelia for ganking her lane, until she has her phage when the red should always go to Corki following the laning phase. Swain should always have the blue buff throughout the game, stealing the enemy blue whenever possible.
Irelia - Solo top lane, ignore most of whats going on, concentrating on farming like a baws, dodging ganks and picking up the red buff. Should gank if laning phase isnt over after the Tri-force, but farming is crucial.
Swain - Mid, trying to zone/deny the enemy mid laner with nevermove and his harrassing capabilities. Concentrating on getting to level 6 as early as possible and picking up the blue buff when offered. Also, farming like a baws and being an amazing ganker for both top and bottom lanes.
Corki + Taric - Bottom duo lane with Taric keeping people off Corki with his stun and keeping him healed up. Corki should recieve all the farm possible (like a baws) and should primarily focus on farming, picking up kills where possible. Taric should be enough to sustain Corki and to grab some kills, freeing up the mummy to concentrate on grabbing lane dominance for Irelia/Swain. Taric has the option of roaming where possible to again give the other lanes their dominance and should concentrate on warding at all times, especially both jungles.
Team Fights
Amumu initiates with the BT and ult, while Irelia dashes to their carry. Corki helps killing the carry if within range, if not, he stays back and puts out as much damage as he can using his rockets, picking up fleeing enemies. Taric primarily keeping Corki alive but healing Irelia as she'll take alot of heat, stunning anyone trying to stop Irelia/Corki from killing their carry. In the mean time, Swain roots and runs in with his ult on, dealing out as much damage as possible. It would be easier for Swain to blow up their support (if they have one) with Torment + Ignite to stop them from healing their carry who's taking the full force. At this point, their support and damage should be out of the game depending on how well the team fight went. Clean up.
This team comp can CC hard and take alot of damage from the opposing team, being very hard to counter. The stun and roots should be enough to shutdown the enemy team for a few seconds, allowing for single targets to be picked off early with the burst that this team can put out. Despair, Tantrum, Curse of the Mummy, Transcendent Blades, Nevermove, Ravenous Flock, Phosphourous Bomb, Gatling Gun, Big Rockets + Shatter is a deadly AoE combitnation, also with the ability for single targets to be focused.

Police in Hinesville said they have arrested Sgt. Shaquille D. Craig for the murders of two service members from Fort Stewart last weekend.
The bodies of Sp4 Marquez Brown and Pvt. Malika Jackson were discovered in Brown's apartment around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Sgt. Craig, who is also stationed at Fort Stewart, was escorted to the Hinesville Police Department by agents from the military CID office without incident.
Investigators from the Hinesville Police Department and the Fort Stewart CID office developed leads that led to Craig's arrest.
RELATED | Sgt. charged in deaths of two soldiers
MORE | Two Fort Stewart soldiers found dead in Hinesville townhouse
Police said the motive appears to have been tied to an altercation between Craig and Jackson, and Brown was apparently in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I take comfort that there was interest as quick as they did," said Jackson's father, Will Johnson. "I know murders that don't even get solved. And the fact that they have someone in custody gives my family some hope that they're going to close this case and that eventually, we will be able to move forward."
Sgt. Craig has been charged with two counts of murder. Other charges are pending.

text: Just popping in for an introduction. Doug is my name, and yeah... I'm a geek. I've got some tech mud underneath my nails and am not afraid to get dirty. I like long walks on the beach and marg... oh wait, wrong forum. I've owned all sorts of phones and tech gear, (I'm more of an audio tech junkie like DAP's n' stuff) and am not loyal to any specific brand or company. I use what works and is logical for my needs. This will change from moment to moment, as things should since it's always good to try something new. Used to be a Windows guy, as I grew up on Win machines but started trying out Linux some years back (I'm 38) and then moved on to OS X (with apprehension) and have not, nor will I ever look back. Love my MacBook Pro's. Hate iTunes (go Songbird!) and don't really have much of a care for iPhones. I was using an iPhone 3G for the past year while in Europe, Jailbroken of course, and the wifi crapped out on me. I don't care to use it anymore and am now looking for a new carrier and phone while using a cruddy Boost Mobile phone (some Sanyo job). Hence my presence here. But I'll leave that for another thread. Glad to be here with you all. Doug

June 27, 2008 in Utility (E)
[prMac.com] Berlin, Germany - Berlin based nova media updated 'Phone plugins' to version 2.1 today. Phone plugins is a utility to quick-dial a selected number and quick-send a text message with one click from any program in Mac OS X Leopard. Version 2.1 now offers context menu support for most applications and compatibility with more than 165 cell phones.
Phone plugins from nova media revives a long lost function in Mac OS X. Back in 10.4 it was possible to dial a number and send a text message from the Address Book using a cell phone connected over bluetooth. Using Phone plugins, this option is available again for Mac OS X 10.5 and many cell phones from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
"Version 2.1 now displays a confirmation if a text message has been sent successfully." states Jan Fuellemann, PR spokesperson at nova media. "And we added support for additional 14 cell phones from Nokia and Sony Ericsson."
Phone plugins includes its own Bluetooth wizard to connect a cell phone to the Mac in one convenient step. The software can be used immediately after the pairing with no need to restart the Mac.
It is suffcient to select any number and choose 'Dial number' or 'Send text message' within Address Book or within any other Mac OS X-compatible application by using the 'Services' menu. Phone plugins will either have the cell phone issue a call and bring up a status window on the screen or open a text message window on the screen accordingly.
If the selected number is known to Address Book, Phone plugins will display the appropriate name in the new call window or text message window automatically.
Pricing and Availability:
Phone plugins is available today for $9.95 USD (Euro 9,95) plus VAT if applicable on nova media's website. A demo version is provided as well. The update to version 2.1 is free for current owners of a Phone plugins 2.0 license. Phone plugins requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or higher and a compatible cell phone from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson.
The founders of "nova media Mobile Data Solutions GmbH" started their business in 1996 in Berlin. The company specializes on mobile data solutions for Mac OS X. More information at the nova media website or phone +49 30 3909040.

Transferring programs
I know that there are no MS methods for transferring programs after performing a custom install. I can't do an upgrade because I'm upgrading from 32 bit Vista Ultimate to 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. This means re-installing masses of software and patches and updates. The last time I did this, from XP to Vista, it took weeks to finally complete the process.
I have found this application Laplink PCmover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant that purports to move your existing applications from Vista to 7 on the same PC. The company has a good reputation and for about £10 it doesn't seem bad value (1 migration).
Anyone know anything about it?

Bluetooth (Classic & Low Energy)
Bluetooth has evolved from audio streaming and file sharing with BT 2.0 to high speed file transfer with BT 3.0. And BT 4.1 addresses extremely low energy consuming connectivity for transferring sensor data for a variety of new applications. Redpine's Bluetooth offerings address a key requirement in all of these applications – the use of BT along with Wi-Fi.
Gateways with Wi-Fi and BT 4.1 Smart Ready power the Internet of Things by enabling sensors and other devices using BT 4.1 to the IP based Internet via Wi-Fi. Handheld devices use BT links at Wi-Fi speeds to transfer large files, videos, and images. And devices may stream in and display video via Wi-Fi and play out the associated audio to a BT headphone. Redpine technology enables all of these with unprecedented performance and power consumption.
Wireless Coexistence is the key parameter in these applications, and Redpine addresses this uniquely. Redpine's M2MCombo chipsets and modules use their internal proprietary multi-thread processor to run the Wi-Fi and BT protocol stack with optimal bandwidth sharing between the wireless streams for optimum performance.

Ontario, California (PressExposure) April 11, 2012 -- Agiline LLC., a leading provider of custom software solutions, products and services, is introducing a host of new SharePoint Support Service Packages. Being an expert in the SharePoint domain for more than a decade, the company has decided to offer these support services on popular demand.
To start with, the company is introducing three new support packages for SharePoint 2007 and 2010 environments, which address almost all the aspects of SharePoint support and maintenance, including Administrative Tasks, Search Scoping and Optimization, Level 2 and Level 3 User Support, SharePoint Server Farm Support, Taxonomy and Governance, Security, User Profile Management, Workflow Development and Troubleshooting, Back-Up/Recovery, Site Maintenance and Database Maintenance. These packages are available for annual subscriptions at nominal prices, starting today. Understanding the dynamic nature of these support services, the company also tailors these packages according to the business needs of the users.
Along with these packages, the end users also get free web parts, which once introduced in their SharePoint environment, will provide complete integration with agiline's support services and offer complete transparency, providing a platform for instant solutions and updates.
Having served varied SharePoint solutions for over a decade and having thorough understanding of the SharePoint domain, the company is confident of offering superior services, offloading the clients from the tedious support tasks of managing complex SharePoint environments.
Commenting on the introduction of SharePoint Support Services, Emmanuel Mathew, CEO of Agiline LLC. Said, "We are proud to release our latest SharePoint Support Packages and we believe that these new packages fill a need faced by small and midsize businesses (SMBs) that have deployed SharePoint. After years of providing SharePoint implementation, consulting and support services, we notice that the small to midsize organizations which have deployed SharePoint without a dedicated SharePoint Administrator face significant risks related to the system performance and stability. The issues that arise due to the lack of regular system maintenance can be extremely expensive to rectify and can result in a loss of both data and productivity. Further, we have also observed that most SMBs do not get the most out of their SharePoint deployment.
Our support solution addresses these issues. We have created custom support web parts and tools. Our support provides the clients with valuable web parts that we have developed over the years. This will help improve operational efficiency and save time."

In "William Wordsworth: Sonnet: Composed Upon Westminster Bridge," how does the speaker convey a sense of admiration for the scene?
In this poem the speaker stands "upon" Westminster Bridge and describes the view he sees with a sense of amazement and admiration. It is morning when there is nobody on the streets and the factories have not started working yet. From the description later on we can see that he talks about London in the eighteenth-nineteenth century not about the one we know now. This made him able to demonstrate how nature and man lived together at that time since London was "open unto the fields" and was not so expanded as it is today. The poet enjoys standing on the bridge (which is a symbol of connection which supports the idea of unity between nature and man) and makes his amazement felt with plenty of devices.
The opening line arrives as a shock: "Earth has not anything to show more fair". This is a rather strong statement as he universalizes his thought to the whole globe. It indicates that this is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen but we do not know what it is as of yet and so, it begins to interest us. The ":" on the end of the line suggests that the next line will tell us what he meant but that is not the case which is also a device that he uses to rise the interest. He states that only a "dull" person could "pass by" a sight like this thus expressing the beauty of the view. The word "touching" gives a sense of amazement as well as the poet has such deep feelings for a simple "sight". Referring to this (as of yet unknown) thing as "majesty" rises our interest to the top and at the same time creates a feeling of vastness and glory. The next line then finally tells us that the view was of a "City['s]". Writing city with a capital "c" indicates respect and superiority.
The way the speaker talks about the morning also wakes a sense of admiration up in us. He sets up a simile by referring to "the beauty of the...

Italy is a strong contender for the most underrated European country in terms of skiing, but the Italian resorts of both the Alps and Apennine offer some of the most traditional and authentic mountain towns, along with staggeringly beautiful scenery.
Significantly more laid back and relaxed than its French counterparts, the Italian ski scene is dominated by low prices, good food, and a stress-free atmosphere. There's no compromise on the slopes either, and the skiing in Italy is some of the most enjoyable you'll find on the continent. Try Livigno for excellent value and one of the best terrain parks in Italy, or Cervinia for high-altitude, long-runs, and excellent snow reliability.
Going to Italy on skiing holidays? We supply to over 40 ski resorts across the country. Book your skiing equipment with Ski Discount now to save up to 30%.

Lexical Analysis Teaching Vocabulary To Advanced Students: A Lexical Approach Advanced students and their needs The teaching of vocabulary Important aspects of lexis
Gairns and Redman (1986) TRADITIONALLY Boundaries between conceptual meanings Polysemy Homonymy understanding words that have the same pronunciation but different spellings and meanings Synonymy Advanced students Generally communicate well In vocab, they recognize items and meaning NOWADAYS Most incidental, limited Taught in well plans and regular basis Vocab expansion happens through the practice of other skills "Language consist in grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalized grammar"
Lewis (1993) Knowing what lexis refers to where the boundaries are that separate it from words of related meaning Distinguish the different meanings of a single word form with closely related meanings Distinguish the different meanings of a single word form with no related meanings Head: of a person,
of an organization File: used to put papers in; a tool Homophyny Flour; Flower distinguishing between the different shades of meaning that synonymous words have Extend, increase, expand Affective Meaning distinguishing between the attitudinal and emotional factors (denotation and connotation) Style, Register, Dialect distinguish between different levels of formality, contexts and topics, as well as differences in geographical variation. Translation awareness of certain differences and similarities between the native and the foreign language False cognates Chunks of Language : multi-word verbs, idioms, strong and weak collocations, lexical phrases. Grammar of Vocabulary learning the rules that enable students to build up different forms of the word or even different words from that word Sleep, Slept, Sleeping Pronunciation ability to recognize and reproduce items in speech. We must use teaching techniques that can help realise this global concept of what it means to know a lexical item. And also, give learner opportunities to use the items learned, helping them to use effective written storage systems. MEMORY AND STORAGE SYSTEMS Oxford (1990) advices:
- Creating mental linkage (group, associate, place new words into context)
- Applying images and sounds
- Reviewing well
- Enjoying action: physical response or sensation. We should diagnose learning styles in order to use those techniques.
* Meaningful tasks offer answers to vocabulary learning DEALING WITH MEANING Guided discovery Involves asking questions
or giving examples.
Contextual guesswork use context in which the word appears to derive an idea of its meaning.
Use EFL dictionaries as early as possible USING LANGUAGE Production
Motivation Teachers should promote it based on students preferences THE LEXICAL APPROACH Lewis (1993) highlights the importance of vocabulary as being basic to communication 'language consists not of traditional grammar and vocabulary, but often of multi-word prefabricated chunks'(Lewis, 1997) RATIONALE OF THE LESSON The Lexical Approach has much to offer in the area of vocabulary teaching
plan a lesson that is based on its main concepts, specially exploring the use of collocations. CHOICE OF MATERIAL Use authentic material to expose students to rich, contextualized, naturally-occurring language. NOTICING COLLOCATIONS AND DEALING WITH MEANING Students know individual words but lack collocational competence.
- Helps fostering learning independence, and specially in vocabulary work, learners can
exchange knowledge, asking others to explain unknown items GROUP WORK CHOICE OF TASK The final task meets the principle of giving opportunities to students to contextualize their learning

If things will turn out well, producer Ramesh Taurani will take the Race franchise ahead and make the third part.
The successful franchise started in 2008 and both Race and Race 2 turned out to be successful attempts.
Taurani told: "We are still scripting for Race 3. It's a very special film and we are keen to take the franchise ahead and make the third instalment."
"We will finalise the star cast as soon as the script is ready," he added.
For the first two instalments, director duo Abbas-Mustan went behind the camera, but reports suggest that the two will not be on board for Race 3.
When asked Taurani about this, he said nothing has been "finalised" and that it is "too early" to talk about the details.

Good Things in Small PackagesTuesday, November 5, 2013
Week six of our Twelve Weeks of Holiday Projects is in full swing, and this week DMC is bringing you free patterns for small packages using ready-made items.
These projects are real time-savers and would make awesome make-ahead gifts for friends and family.
Make this pretty mesh pouch using a pre-made zippered bag embellished with hand embroidery, along with a matching purse mirror. You can find these mesh bags in various colors at stores that sell cosmetics, travel items or organzing aids.
The Accessory Bag Set is easy to make using basic embroidery stitches featured in the pattern or in Emma's Embroidery Stitch Tool (which would make an awesome stocking stuffer for a stitcher, by the way…). Get the PDF pattern here.
Another easy-to-stitch freebie is this cross stitch Gelt Bag used to hold the small, wrapped chocolate coins for playing the dreidel game during Hanukkah.
The bag is stitched using CharlesCraft's Royal Classic Sachet Bags and Light Effects floss. Get the PDF here.
The patterns for the previous weeks' projects can be found on our Holiday Ideas page on the DMC web site.
Stay tuned for more another small package idea later this week!

Hi All
I have for sale a one owner from new Fairey Marine Duckling.
She is in good used condition and the old boy that owned her from new has looked after her well, she is original and has had no new wood fitted to her.

Richmond County Sheriff's deputies were searching late Tuesday for two suspects armed with a machine gun who attempted to rob the General Nutrition Center in the 500 block of Bobby Jones Expressway around 9 p.m.
Police searched the shopping center's roof and attic area with assistance from Augusta Fire Department, but the suspects – who had been thought to be hiding there – were not found.
According to a report from sheriff's Investigator Cheryl Wright, a GNC store clerk suffered minor injuries but was able to escape to safety.
The only description provided by authorities was that the suspects are a black woman and a Hispanic man.
The commotion caused a stir at Gold's Gym next door, where a number of people were working out. Gold's Gym employee Lauren Zolotas said she instructed customers to run to the back of the gym after learning of the robbery attempt.

If there is one gift my mother has (which was not passed along to me), it is certainly fundraising. She's been raising money for American Cancer Society through Relay For Life for nearly a decade, and I love that about her. Sadly, most of us have been affected by cancer in some way, and that's what makes this event so relevant.
Since this year marks American Cancer Society's 100th anniversary, and the 20th year of the Relay For Life of Greater Gardner that my mom participates in (the #1 Relay in New England, and #4 in the world), I thought I'd share a little bit about how you can help with this great cause…
So many people I love have fought against cancer—my grandfather Clyde, my Aunt Paula, my Aunt Leslie and my father-in-law Jon, just to name a few. Sadly, only one of those people is alive today (my Aunt Paula), which means that there is still a lot of work to be done in finding a cure for cancers of all kinds.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) calls themselves the "official sponsor of birthdays," based on their mission to add years to cancer patients lives through better treatments, and one day, a cure. Relay For Life is an arm of ACS that helps raise awareness, create community involvement and of course, raises funds. Every Relay For Life event looks a little like this:
- Organized, overnight community fundraising walk
- Teams of people camping out around a track
- Members of each team taking turns walking around the track
- Food, games and activities providing entertainment and building camaraderie
Since all donations go to ACS, it's important to know what the organization's focus is:
"At the American Cancer Society, we don't just focus on one type of cancer or one way to combat the disease. Our work covers the entire spectrum of the cancer fight, from prevention and early detection, to support during treatment, to end-of-life care and quality of life after a cancer experience. We're not just a research-focused organization—although that's a key part of how we save lives. We're working as a global institution to bring cancer under control in this century." (2012 American Cancer Society Stewardship Report)
My mom's team is called "Herbey's Harem," a playful name which speaks to her dad's name, Herbey, and the fact that my mom is one of 9 children—7 of which are girls! Any donation is appreciated, whether it be a monetary donation or a donation to a raffle. They do 20 theme baskets, and mostly likely any item that is donated could be put in one of the theme baskets.
To make a credit card donation, click here and follow instructions. If you wish to donate an item for one of the theme baskets, you can mail to the following address:
Team Herbey's Harem, Attn: Susan Horne
c/o 27 Jeannette Street
Fitchburg, MA 01420
Feel free to email my awesome mom, Susan, at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions about donation items or specific needs.
The event takes place on Friday, June 7 and I couldn't be more proud of all of the hard work my mom and her team have done yet again to raise money for this cause. Thanks in advance to all of you who support her team!
How has cancer impacted your life or the lives of those you love?
P.S. Relay For Life of Greater Gardner is my featured cause this month! If there is a nonprofit you want to raise awareness about, I'd love to help you out by having you as my featured cause in future months. See "Featured Cause Spot" on the advertising page for current pricing and details >>

When discussing potential personnel decisions, Bill Walsh would sometimes get upset with his scouts because they would tell him all the things a prospect couldn't do rather than telling him what the player could do.
This affirmative mindset of finding the things that players can do and building a game plan that accentuates those skills is the main reason Walsh was able to create a Super Bowl champion out of a ragtag roster that was the 1981 San Francisco 49ers.
This is helpful to keep in mind when reviewing the situations of Cam Newton and Tim Tebow. At the moment, there are few who believe Tebow can replicate Newton's early success, but a closer review of the game tape and metrics indicates there is a path the Denver Broncos can take to potentially put Tebow on par with Newton.
It all starts with building a game plan that, while not technically identical to the one the Carolina Panthers are using with Newton, retains three of the same overarching themes. A couple of these are very involved in the actual game plan, but the other is more about a philosophy that can help breed success.
Run the ball
One thing that seems to be forgotten in the excitement surrounding Newton's prolific passing numbers is Carolina's success running the ball. The Panthers' 583 rushing yards rank 11th in the NFL and their 4.7 yards per carry is tied for fifth-best. The addition of Newton hasn't made Carolina's coaches completely forget that good running backs are at the ready. And one thing that Denver may be forgetting in their zeal to start a quarterback who can run himself is a similar reality -- you too can run the ball.
The Broncos' running game isn't quite as good as Carolina's, but Denver is tied for ninth in yards per carry (4.3) and is nearly as productive in the good blocking yards per attempt (GBYPA) metric.
GBYPA measures how effective ball carriers are when blockers give them a good blocking situation (loosely defined as when the blockers do not allow the defenders to do anything to disrupt the rushing attempt).
Through five games, Carolina's blockers have given their rushers a good blocking situation 45.9 percent of the time, and those ball carriers have posted an 8.3 GBYPA mark.

Another Summit was reached last September 25, 2011.
At around 5pm Me, my Akyat Buddy Thyrone and 2 new friends Lynn and Rob left Manila via Five Star Bus bound for Cabanatuan. It was my first time to meet Lyn and Rob, kaya exciting kasi may bagong makikilala na naman ako at possible na makakasama sa mga next na akyat.
After 2 hours or so na travel, we reached Bgry. Kamias, Bulacan. Rode a tricycle papuntang Jump off.
Erase barefoot kasi malalim ang tubig, Raft (checked) pero si Lynn lang ang nagraft because she was scared na mag monkey bridge.

After registration, we hired a Guide (Mang Mario) and its mandatory to have one then we're off to Mt. Manalmon na. Malayo malayo ang lakaran at maputik at that time. May naslide, may nadapa, sugat dito sugat doon pero normal lang yan.
What's beautiful about this adventure was not just conquering Mt. Manalmon's Summit but also the side trip. Spelunking sa Bayukbok Cave.

Will it be fine for house painting now? Will it get destroyed in rainy season? The painting will get over by 6 to 7 days.
When will the rain start? If the paint is dry (24 hours) before the rain comes, you can paint. It would be a good idea, it will protect your house.
The most important is, that your wood or house is dry when you start painting. Good luck, Evelien

This is not my first foray into the world of potty training. Oh no.
I have my "GOLD" potty training badge. I graduated with honours from toddler toilet training 3 and a half year ago. I'm a pro. An expert.
Or so I thought.
The Monster is nearly 3. He's already 6 months older than Pickle was, but life is a bit more hectic nowadays, he's still struggling with his language and overall we just never thought he'd be ready at the same time.
So I picked a weekend that we were free and set all the wheels in motion for a Friday start. Right after school drop off, we were all set to begin operation Potty Training.
- Chocolate buttons for wee rewards. CHECK
- Mini Dinosaur figurines for poo rewards. CHECK
- Potty. CHECK
- Special toilet seat. CHECK
- Potty training book. CHECK
- Oodles of patience. CHECK
- Paper Towels for accidents. CHECK.
So, off we went.
Wee number 1 in the potty. Woo hoo. Chocolate button dispensed.
Poo number one in the toilet whilst using the ipad. Woo hoo. Dinosaur dispensed.
Then….well he wasn't so keen after that. I couldn't convince him to sit on either the potty or toilet. We had a wee accident. NO big deal, I cleaned it up and put another pair of spider man pants on him. We had lunch and I popped him in bed with a pull up nappy on. Yes, he still naps, unusual I know.
After his nap we got up, put our special spider man pants on and headed off to pick up Pickle from school along with her play date for the afternoon. "Please, please, don't let him have an accidents whilst we are on the school run".
We get back and he hasn't done an accident. However, he won't use any toilet or potty and he wants to go upstairs with the girls. I can't keep him downstairs, so up he goes.
30 minutes later and the girls start shouting for me. "Mummy there's poo on the stairs and I have it on my leg". WHAT?
I get upstairs and there is poo on the stairs, AND on the tights of the playdate, and on PIckle's leg and in the bathroom and the bedroom and the hallway and there is The Monster, happily playing with shit sliding down his leg.
I swear, it is the most horrendous scene I have every come across.
He won't move so I have to pick him up at arms length (he is heavy) and carry him to the bathroom where I attempt to clean him up with wipes, it wasn't working very well and the girls kept shouting out new places that poo had been located. Unhelpful.
I was in such despair I started sobbing, but The Monster thought I was laughing and joined in. Well you can imagine how well that went down. I snapped back at him so fast I'm not sure I've ever seen him look that surprised.
Cleaning up a bedroom that had been trashed by all 3 of them wasn't much fun either. Not so easy to see where the bastard poo had gone.
My text to my husband – "Potty training abandoned Shit all over the house. Your turn next, I've had enough".
Seems I'm back to bloody square one. I've handed back my medal.
