I have used them twice, but and they have had to rectify their own faults twice. this would be okay if they werent always late and the woman who tells you when they will arrive/deals with your complaints wasnt so dismissive. I simply could not recommend them for their work, punctuality or service, so not good all round!

Pearl provides best model for dog ordinance
The increasing popularity of pit bulls among people who are either unwilling or incapable of taking adequate measures to protect others from their dogs is a ticking time bomb in our city.
It's becoming a familiar news report. Someone, often a child, gets maimed or killed by a pit bull and the people left picking up the pieces are forced to wonder how such a senseless tragedy could have ever been allowed to happen in the first place.
There's always the predictable statement from the owner describing what a little angel the dog had always been up until that point and the legions of pit bull fans arguing that we shouldn't judge the entire breed on the actions of one dog (or the countless documented incidents related to the breed for that matter).
Fortunately it hasn't happened yet in Yazoo County, but the odds are against us. It's not uncommon these days to see a kid practically being dragged around by a large pit bull by the leash he's holding. Here at The Herald we had problems for a while with a pit bull that sometimes got loose, usually still dragging the rope which had been tied around its neck. One day I heard some awful growling outside my office and realized it was the dog growling at my wife as she entered the front of the building.
That dog is no longer a problem for us, but it scares me to think of what could have happened.
Our city leaders have been debating this issue for some time, but have failed to take any action. Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. seems to have the best understanding of the potential threat and has kept the issue alive.
This week O'Reilly-Evans submitted summaries of the ordinances from Biloxi, Jackson, Pearl, Pascagoula and Pearl. Jackson's ordinance will hopefully be revisited as it has recently been the site of a child killed by a pit bull that was inadequately secured and escaped from a neighbor's property.
The ordinances present a wide variety of approaches ranging from an outright ban of pit bulls and other breeds regarded as dangerous in Clinton to Jackson's which uses observed behavior to determine if a dog is potentially dangerous.
After reviewing the summaries of all of these ordinances, I believe Yazoo officials should consider modeling our new ordinance after Pearl's. It addresses many issues that I have raised in this space before such as setting guidelines for safe housing and requiring owners to have liability insurance.
Pearl's ordinance doesn't prohibit people from owning pit bulls, but it does force them to be responsible owners.
Owners must have a 100 square foot pen enclosure with a concrete floor covering the entire area, chain link fence a minimum of 6 feet in height, a roof covering the enclosure to prevent escape and the enclosure must be located in a fenced backyard.
Owners must also have a liability policy of $200,000 and a letter from insurance provider indicating that it has knowledge of the dog's presence at the address and that the insurance is in effect and covers injuries to persons or property caused by the dog.
All those regulations may sound excessive to some, but in my opinion it's a small price to pay to protect the rest of us from irresponsible dog owners.

Don't get me wrong I love this song whole heartedly but does anyone else find this as a very strange selection from Queen? I would have expected the likes of A Kind of Magic or Breakthru but never Death on Two Legs.
Don't get me wrong I love this song whole heartedly but does anyone else find this as a very strange selection from Queen? I would have expected the likes of A Kind of Magic or Breakthru but never Death on Two Legs.
I just hope it has the intro intact.
I'm still a little bit miffed that "Tie Your Mother Down" doesn't have the intro on it.
May 20th, 2012: 4 long years since HMX released "Hysteria" by Muse. The wait for more Muse DLC has to end at some point, right?
well, i would've expected a different song by them myself. you'd think HMX would try to get one of their better known songs in this game to up the sales a little bit. If it was licensed at the same time as the last queen pack i'd think it would make more sense to put something like "Bicycle Race" or something in it.
Unleeeessssss, there's a new queen pack coming :3
Hate life.
Hate myself.

HMX will choose less popular songs from bands sometimes if they're a good fit for the gameplay. I think they chose the perfect Queen song for Blitz, and I imagine a lot of people who have never heard it before will grow to love it. We already have a bunch of their hits, so I don't think going for a deeper cut should be too controversial here.
I believe TYMD had two versions - a single and album version. I'm pretty sure DOTL only has the one version.

Death on Two Legs is my 2nd favorite song by Queen, 1st being Bo Rhap. I'm pretty pleased
My tumblr page, yo: http://heyitsmario.tumblr.com/
which would also make me think that HMX would have been better off putting one of the songs from the queen pack that has almost nothing on 1 part (bicycle race, don't stop me now on guitar for example) simply because i can assume that missing 1 instrument most of the song would be less "bothersome" in Blitz then in a game where most people play just the guitar.
i'm sure DOTL will be fun in Blitz. but i also think it would have been more fun in RB3 than some of the other songs from the queen pack. If the pack and this song were licensed at the same time and they had a choice, i would've switched DOTL with a different one.
but of course i could just be the weird person here being 100% wrong

Well, I'm just glad that many people who don't know the song and are interested in Blitz will have the chance to learn how awesome it is by playing the game, like how people will find new songs to love on the on-disc setlists of other music games. While radio hits can help get people interested in the game, I think the Blitz set list has plenty of them, and not every song needs to fall into that category.
Bothersome is a strong word, but I do think it will be less fun when there are less instruments to play in Blitz. The more choices of instruments you have to play at a given point in the song, the more power-ups you can collect and the more you can continue to switch tracks to grow each instrument's multiplier.
If they did switch DOTL with another hit from the last pack, I think a lot less people would wind up owning DOTL and having it as an option to play online, which would make me sad.

It's a wacky pick, but the song's cool and I think it will be fun. I would have liked something off the first two Queen albums (March of the Black Queen, Ogre Battle, Liar, etc) but this will be just fine. Maybe we'll get lucky and have another massive DLC pack later this year.

Link popularity is increasingly recognised as an important part of any marketing plan. Search engines and speciality sites such as www.linkpopularity.com allow you to measure the link popularity of your site.
However, from my experience the 'scores' produced by these measurements need to be taken with a very large pinch of salt.
In this post, I want to give two examples of dodgy measurement, outline the real benefits of a linking strategy and stimulate some debate and feedback.
First, two examples from my own work of measurement gone wrong:
1. A major pharmaceutical site has over 5,500 inbound links to its site. But by analysing the nature of these links it turns out that corporate links (i.e. internal links from their own brand sites) made up 63% of these, pharmaceutical industry directories (mostly dull, low-traffic sites) made up another 14%, academic sites 12%, charity sites 5%, suppliers, 3% and others 13%. Indeed, just 1% of sites from our sample matched the type of link they were after.
2. A major entertainment site in the UK raised my eyebrows when it scored over 18,000 inbound links – 6 times more than its nearest rival. Such a disparity suggests something fishy is going on. Some basic detective work quickly uncovered the trick they were using and I was able to revise their score to a 'genuine' 900 or so.
Such examples probably arise from the need to boost search engine rankings and link popularity's undoubted efficacy in doing so. These tactics, while they may be successful for a time, miss the point and demean the practice of building link popularity.
Second, the benefits of a linking strategy:
An effective linking strategy will take many days of effort over a period of months, but the benefits are well worth it. These include:
(i) Increases industry knowledge - finding out who links to you, who links to your competitors and identifying the major portals and ezines for your industry will not only identify linking opportunities but give you a tremendous view of your industry online.
(ii) Builds traffic - following a link is one of the most popular ways to find new sites. Research from AltaVista, Compaq and IBM shows that sites that are well-linked share high volumes of traffic.
(iii) Improves search engine rankings - most search engines now include link popularity in their algorithms and a proper linking strategies is one of the most legitimate ways of boosting your rankings.
(iv) Creates value for customers – site users love useful links. Sharing some or all of the information you collect while doing link research will provide great value for your site users.
(v) Builds Trust - links from respected industry sites will help small or new companies build trust.
(vi) Links attract links – sites that already have a high level inbound links of are most likely to attract further links. Growth can be exponential.
(vii) Builds community - most importantly, a well linked site becomes part of the informal but well-trafficked community around their industry.
Third, the stages involved:
These are:
(i) Analyse your current inbound links
(ii) Analyse your competitor's inbound links – this will give you your first target list.
(iii) Find further sites that could link to you – this will give you your second target list
(iv) Make sure you have content that potential link targets will find attractive
(v) Set business objectives for your linking strategy
(vi) Make sure your site is link-friendly
(vii) Publish appropriate outbound links on your own site
(viii) Ask for inbound links
(ix) Monitor results and build on them.I've conducted linking campaigns for major clients over the past two years and have sometimes been frustrated by their inability to grasp the real marketing potential of an effective linking strategy. So I've created a free site at www.linkingmatters.com to share knowledge and point to extensive resources on linking strategy.
E-consultancy has kindly agreed to host the 33-page report, Linking Matters.
I am working on a number of case studies and would be delighted to hear about other people's experience in building inbound links – be they positive or negative.
Many thanks.
Ever since the advent of Google and the PR based algo, some sites have lived or died by their ability to attract quality incoming links. Since the hardcore SEOs figured out that pure-play link pop is vunerable to having the life spammed out of it (farm those domains, boy!), Google had to do something a bit cleverer than that. We'll get there in a minute.
First, lets look at the original PageRank set-up, and roughly how that works.
Any domain that includes a link to another domain, can be considered to have cast a "vote" for the other domain. The underlying assumption is that every site is managed by an independent webmaster, who will only link to sites that he/she considers will benefit their users. Some sites will therefore have a higher measure of "popularity" (PageRank), and votes from that site are worth more in terms of boosting the PR of the target site. The overall concept is that PR should be a measure of the likelihood that a surfer will find your site during a random surf.
Sites that have many links, and or links from other popular sites are clearly at an advantage here (high PR).
Right, now we've established the reason to acquire incoming links, lets examine the examples
>1. A major pharmaceutical site has over 5,500 inbound
>links to its siteMost of them were internal, which makes sense. PR is calculated on a per page basis, not a per site basis (which leads to a couple of tactics to "pump" PR around a give site), and large sites, by the nature of the PR calculation will have more "natural" PR, and can generate a positive feedback loop effect. Add in a few good links from industry-speficic directories, suppliers and academia, and you're there
>2. A major entertainment site in the UK raised my eyebrows
>when it scored over 18,000 inbound linksFrom your further comments, I assume they were employing a tactic known as "domain farming", the practice of registering hundreds or thousands of domains, putting up some sort of content, and ensuring that each domain points one or many times to your "target" domain.
It's the second site that is, from the search engines point of view, the problem. The site is artificially inflating it's apparent popularity (and hence quality) by exploiting a flaw in the underlying logic of the algorithm.
So, if the logic is flawed, you need a new algorithm. Welcome to the Hilltop, people
You can see the paper for the Hilltop algorithm here,
Note that Krishna Bharat now works for Google, and is considered by many far better mathematicians than me to be at the cutting edge of information retrieval technology. To save you some reading, and a lot of brain ache, one of the key bits is here :
" A key phrase is a piece of text that qualifies one or more URLs in the page. Every key phrase has a scope within the document text. URLs located within the scope of a phrase are said to be "qualified" by it. For example, the title, headings (e.g., text within a pair of

 tags) and anchor text within the expert page are considered key phrases."
So, lets say your site is about widgets. You get 2 links, one from www.spamcore.com, and one from www.widgetworld.com. The <title> of the WdigetWorld page reads "Widget World - widget-tastic widget friends", the
 reads "Widget links" and the actual HTML for the link to your site goes blue fuzzy widgets.
Thus the <title>,  content (which includes the
), and the anchor text (blue fuzzy widgets) are all related to widgets. That link will significantly boost the apparent quality of your site on the topic of widgets.
The <title> of the SpamCore page is "SpamCore - for all your spamming needs!!!!", with no
, and link code that reads Click here!. No mention of widgets anywhere (and SpamCore is likely to be a penalised site anyway, and so not have a lot of PR to "vote" to you in the first place), so not very much benefit, BUT if you can put thousands of them up, it just might do the job
In essence then, Hilltop is a ranking method that combines the straight "one site, one vote" type approach of the standard PR algos, and starts to introduce one of the search engineers Holy Grails, theming. There has been persistent speculation that Google has implemented (or at least partially implemented) Hilltop, or something very like it, at least for certain sectors of their database. It is possible to find results pages where a PR5 site sits at #1, whilst PR7 pages, that on the face of things should beat it, languish in 2nd page obscurity.
I'll finish up with a couple of tips :
1) Google supports a special search syntax, link:url, which will return a list of links that Google has recorded to that Url, with the following caveats : only pages with PR4+ return any results at all, only links from PR4+ pages will be returned, only half of all links will be displayed (this is intentionally reducing the utility of the tool, as when word first got out, the Google servers got hammered by every SEO in the world checking their own links, their clients links, their clients competitor links etc etc)
2) Alltheweb (www.alltheweb.com) supports a link: search with similar characteristics to the Google one (but no halving of results. Quality minima are in place though), BUT they also have a second link.all: syntax, which does return a complete list of links in their database, without restriction. Get it while its hot, if it becomes a strain of their resources they will likely dump it. The Alltheweb database is of a similar size and quality to the Google one, and so provides a useful second opinion (ATW also has the best advanced search features anywhere, its the webmasters choice)
Incoming links, love 'em or loathe 'em, you just can't ignore 'em. Did that all make sense, or have I run on too much?

I've got just a couple of additions to your well informed comments...
>>1. A major pharmaceutical site has over 5,500 inbound
>>links to its site
>Most of them were internal, which makes sense. PR is
>calculated on a per page basis, not a per site basis
>(which leads to a couple of tactics to "pump" PR

>good links from industry-speficic directories, suppliers
>and academia, and you're thereYou're only "there" in terms of generating PR (Page Rank), and playing at the same games as SEO (search engine optimisers). The kind of links you want aren't only for PR, but for clickthrough traffic. It's the high-traffic health portals that the company really wants linking to them.
>Thus the <title>,  content (which
>includes the
), and the anchor text (blue fuzzy
>widgets) are all related to widgets. That link will
>significantly boost the apparent quality of your site on
>the topic of widgets.Increasingly this is the way search engines will go, not only looking at the anchor text, but also the title text, headings and finally, the entire body of the html page it finds the link on. If you look at http://www.linkingmatters.com you'll find all the relevent headings on a page are contained within
 through
 tags. The entire site is XHTML 1.1 Strict for the same reason. If the site is well coded it will be easier for search engines to correctly parse and understand.
Ultimately it all boils down to what hypertext is and should be. If search engine algorithms such as the one you describe are correctly implemented, and content providers and aggregators follow the spirit of hypertext and XML, search engines would be a lot better and content would be easier to find. All links (on site and off) should have relevent text describing their target contained inside them. For a good page on the topic of link text, look at http://www.w3.org/2001/06tips/noClickHere.
There are numerous technically orientated changes that can be made on a web page itself to help search engines and Page Rank. You can go as far as changing the order of elements within the html file, so relevent text sections come near the top, while navigation is near the bottom (though of course still keeping important internal links at the top).
But the strategy behind Linking Matters isn't related to either the quick fixes of SEO (gateway pages, meta-tag spamming and link farms), or to the common-sense standards compliance described above. These are all secondary to the idea of getting good links on high-traffic sites, and getting visitors through that, not through search engines. If you happen to get a high Page Rank by pursuing this strategy, all the better, and it shows search engines are doing what they are being designed to do, gather relevent content, but ultimately few businesses can rely purely on search engine referals to go about day to day business.
I'm still wet behind the ears in terms of experience, but wondered if this site I have been working with casts any light on your discussion.
I guess I'm happy to hold it up as an anomally - we have done almost no search engine registration or inbound link promotion, the site has been 'inactive' for 6 months (they went bust, we hosted for nothing, but there was no new content during that time) and yet www.autismjobs.org has a Google ranking of 5 and plenty of relevant traffic as a result.
My assumptions are:
1) We've got the name 'just right'?
2) Charity sites score better than commercials?This isn't a site plug (it's irrelevant to this forum!), and please be as brutal as you like about the site - I'm just trying to figure out more about how it ranks 5 with so inbound few links?

Well, there are couple of things that may well have contributed to this.
Firstly, and probably most importantly, I don't believe the number of sites relating to jobs in the autistic field is that large, so Google's PageRank will be increased; this generally applies to any niche topic, it's quite possible to have an extremely high PageRank in something that very few people deal cover on the web.
Looking at DMOZ, Autism Jobs has a good listing on http://dmoz.org/Health/Mental_Health/Disorders/Neurodevelopmental/Autism_Spectrum/Services/. Google definately puts some weight towards DMOZ listings, as well as the fact a lot of people use DMOZ data in other search engines and directories.
Backward links do look especially low for a page with such high PageRank, but at least two of the pages that link to it have a high PageRank themselves.
The domain name matches the topic extremely well, but as for whether the .org suffix helps at all, I'm not sure, but wouldn't rule it out.
As for the actual pages, having a good "about autismjobs" link on all pages, as well as the constant footer with it's internal links should help.
As Archie has said, the dmoz link is very important, because not only do you get PageRank from it, but dmoz-listed sites also seem to get a slight ranking boost from Google anyway (which makes sense; to pass human review, the site must of reasonable quality)
Also, bear in mind that "toolbar PR" is a variable thing, not all PR5 sites are equal. Raw PR is calculated by Google during their big monthly updates, and is then expressed to toolbar requests as a number from 0 - 10, using a logarithmic scale of unknown base (but its around 6 - 6.5). You may be teetering on the brink of a PR6, or just barely over the line for PR5.
You don't have many links, but they ARE quality links, with the dmoz listing and a link from what I suspect is a major hub/authority on the subject
>> 1) We've got the name 'just right'?
The domain name won't contribute to your PR. It MAY have a small effect on your overall ranking, but I doubt it in this case (PR is only one of over 100 factors used by Google to rank sites, although it is an important one)
>> 2) Charity sites score better than commercials?
There is some limited evidence that .org, .edu etc sites recieve a slight boost.
Of course there is also the slim possibilty that a Google search tech has visited the site personally, and "awarded" you an increased ranking/PR just because he likes the site. Its rare, but it happens
This is of course one of the most hotly contested areas presently.
The difficulty with links is not only the Google PR of the site from whom one has a link, but the actual link reference that is provided. How one is described in the link itself.
There are issues concerning IPR matters with linking. One cannot indiscriminately link as one wishes fherefore it is to be recommended that a clearly defined link policy be issued, preferably on ones site so that links accrued describe one's own site in the best manner, rather than merely company name.
This should be reflected in the title of ones own site, so that the circle may be squared. -
Just wanted to say this is great stuff. First time I've posted here, and a pleasure to find a forum where people are knowledgeable.
Think I'm distilling things down to:
1) dmoz is very good
2) correct, relevant URL makes life easier (for PR and plain keyword search popularity, and I guess click-through in general search results, probably?)
3) providing the code/words for others to link back to you will over time give a better result for the same number of linksI've plenty to learn, but that's all a great help - thanks!!

Weiner chat partner Sydney Leathers felt 'manipulated'
Updated On: Jul 26 2013 04:30:19 AM CDT
The woman who exchanged the sexually explicit messages that have thrown Anthony Weiner's New York City mayoral campaign into damage control mode said Thursday the former congressman deceived her when he contacted her online.
"I felt manipulated," Sydney Leathers told the television program "Inside Edition." "Obviously I felt like he's saying one thing to me, another thing to his wife, saying another thing on the campaign trail. I don't know who the real Anthony Weiner is I guess."
Later, Leathers claimed Weiner became "controlling" toward the end of their online relationship.
"He would tell me that he would be jealous," Leathers said. "He would look at my Facebook frequently. He would tell me that he would get jealous if other men would compliment me. Just little stuff like that."
Weiner's campaign declined to comment on the interview with Leathers.
The messages between Weiner and Leathers - some of which included lewd photographs of Weiner -- came to light Tuesday on the gossip website TheDirty. The site claimed Weiner vowed to purchase a condominium for Leathers in Chicago, as well as secure her a place on a panel for political bloggers.
A friend of Leathers told CNN on Wednesday the 23-year-old Indiana native was a strong supporter of the New York politician even after he resigned from Congress amid similar circumstances two years ago.
Leathers actively posts about politics and her Democratic views on Facebook, and had previously included Weiner in a list of political heroes.
She said in the "Inside Edition" interview she was blown away that the former congressman would revert to the behavior that led to his resignation from Congress in 2011.
"I was shocked because I didn't think he would be so foolish as to do the same thing all over again," she said. "He was making these campaign promises that he had totally changed, and he was a better man now, and he learned from his mistakes, and I have proof that that was not true."
Leathers "cared" about Weiner, she said, and knew that he wanted her to erase any evidence of their "very sexual" conversations.
But now, as their conversations have come to light, Leathers no longer sees Weiner in quite the same way.
Asked by "Inside Edition" correspondent Jim Moret whether Weiner was trying to "pull one over" on voters, Leathers replied, "Absolutely."
"Otherwise he wouldn't have went on the whole 'I'm a changed man, I've learned my lesson, I wouldn't have said those things' if he wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't," she said.
Her verdict of Weiner now? She recalled a description the politician used about himself in one of their conversations.
"The exact wording was that he was an argumentative, perpetually horny middle aged man," she said. "And at the time, I was like, 'Oh no, you're not.' But yes, he is."

Not really, Hurdle laughs. His grandkids wrote that to honor their pop-pop's hometown.
What's now Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque used to be a landmark in Ashburn: the Partlow Brothers store. They sold groceries, hardware, gas, oil. Hurdle, 64, is a stonemason by trade but bought the Partlow building six years ago and took up barbecue.
From Hurdle's place, it's easy to imagine the old Ashburn. Some of the Victorian houses have been restored with curatorial care, though many of the old buildings were torn down. There are still trees and greenery here along Ashburn Road, but perhaps not for long.
NV Homes planted a trailer a stone's throw from Hurdle's place to build 18 high-end homes in a newly developed cul-de-sac. All 18 are stamped sold on the site plan.
Hurdle can feel the changes sweeping Ashburn. He can see it every day in his restaurant. On this day, there is a young Sikh boy, a Muslim man and working women on a lunch break. He added beef and chicken to his menu to keep up with changing dietary needs. "Not everyone eats pig," he says. "But they all eat barbecue."
He also thought they would all vote for Romney.
"I was surprised the election was so close," he adds.
He shows off a picture of a sign that a friend sent him: "Guns allowed on premises." It's in line with Hurdle's values. One of the reasons he voted for Romney was because he is against abortion, he says.
Employee Jen Steele pipes up. She's 23 and working her way through nursing school. She grew up in a Republican family but says her generation has gone beyond aligning with parties.
"For me, it's issues," she says, working the cash register. "I didn't vote for Romney."
"For the same reason I voted for him," Hurdle says.
Steele voted for the GOP in 2008 but was turned off by comments from Republican politicians on rape and abortion. It felt like an assault on women.
She thought Obama delivered a message of inclusiveness, like he cared for everyone no matter what their station in life. She even saw a TV ad he made entirely in Spanish.
"But he's got his work cut out for him," she says.
Hurdle answers: "Maybe we need term limits in Congress."
The new Americans
Attorney John Whitbeck, 36, makes it a point to show up at events like Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, where he tries to tout the merits of the GOP. South Asians tend to vote Democratic.
Republican state delegate David Ramadan filed a bill this year that would officially recognize Diwali day.
Whitbeck, chairman of the 10th Congressional District Republican Committee, concedes his party did not do a great job in reaching out to Loudoun's newest citizens.
Between the 2000 and 2010 Census, Loudoun County's white population dropped from 83% to 69%. The county is now almost 15% Asian (a huge number are from the Indian subcontinent) and 13% Hispanic.
The rapidly changing demographics played a big role in Obama's victory here, as they did nationally.
"It all starts with the recognition that the cultural framework of Loudoun County includes them," Whitbeck says. "Our children go to the same schools yours do. You are just as able to be a part of the Republican Party as the white middle-class guy."
But that message has so far fallen short with many South Asians like accountant Hari Sharma. who sees the GOP as making token efforts to gain his vote. He'll watch the inauguration Monday with hope in his heart that this president will make America feel more like home to those who are fairly new here.
"Obama's policies are more supportive of immigrants," he says.
As someone who looks at income tax returns for a living, he thinks Obama is on the right track by increasing taxes for the wealthy. Sharma says Obama has done a good job in turning the economy around and thanks the president for his 401(k) rising back up after it was halved. He applauds Obama for starting the new year with an effort to curb gun violence.

Plans are underway to expand Oswego County's landfill for the first time since 1996. The expansion would add more than five acres to the site, but as our Candace Hopkins tells us, using the landfill is just one aspect of the county's trash disposal plan.
FULTON, N.Y. -- In communities throughout the country, finding a way to dispose of trash is an old problem, with very few new solutions.
Here in Oswego County, more than 50,000 tons of waste enter the Bristol Hill Landfill every year. While that sounds a lot, the amount of trash ending up at the facility annually is actually on the decline, according to Oswego County's Director of Solid Waste Programs, Frank Visser. "The amount of trash over the last 20 to 25 years has been reduced, every year there's less trash coming in."
That's a result of several factors including increased recycling, and the county's waste energy facility, where most of area's household trash is reduced to ash before being taken to the landfill.
"We burn the waste, and the only remainder, ash, unburnable material, and which constitutes five to ten percent of the volume coming in," said Visser.
That process is why county officials say Bristol Hill is filling up at a slower rate than expected, but despite those measures, the time has come to begin planning the landfill's next expansion, which would add more than five acres, and enough capacity for the next 25 years of operation.
"We figure we got another six or seven years in the old section, and two to three years, maybe four years, would be a comfortable time frame to get this done," said Visser.
County officials say before going forward the entire project needs approval by the DEC, but sometimes that approval process can be very complicated, which is why they've given themselves such a large head start.
The entire project is expected to cost about $3.5 million. So far the county legislature has approved $1 million of that funding.

First, go to the seller of the item. Second, contact the relevant consumer agency. Finally, if neither of these results in satisfaction, you can file a lawsuit or use arbitration.
Contacting the Seller
Before you take your complaint to the store or other entity that sold you the service or product:
Gather any evidence you may need, such as the receipt, a canceled check, photographs showing the problem, a warranty, a contract, or a bill of sale.
Figure out what your goal is. Do you want the product replaced? Do you want your money back? Do you merely want an apology?
Call the store or service provider and ask to make an appointment with the manager, customer service representative, or other appropriate person. Meet face to face with that individual and explain as succinctly as possible the nature of the problem and what you want done about it. If you talk on the phone, follow up with a letter, and make notes of the dates of your calls and to whom you spoke. Note: If the product is covered by a warranty, it's usually better to follow up with the manufacturer instead of the merchant.
If this doesn't produce results, take your problem to a higher authority. This might be a supervisor or a corporate president. You should put your complaint in writing at this point if you haven't already done so. Your letter should include your name, address, phone numbers, and account number (if relevant). If a product is involved, include the date and place of purchase, and the model and serial number. Briefly state the problem with the product or service, and write about what you have done so far to resolve it. Finally, tell the letter recipient what you want done, and give him or her a deadline. Include copies of relevant documents (not originals), and keep a copy of your letter. Keep copies of anything you receive from the company.
Contacting an Agency
If you still haven't achieved the result you wanted, look in the phone book for a consumer complaint agency, such as the state, county, or city consumer protection office, or the Better Business Bureau.
Or, you might want to go the trade association route. Some industry trade associations offer help in mediating disputes concerning their members.
If your complaint involves a bank, you might wish to contact the appropriate state banking regulator. Similarly, you might want to contact the state insurance regulator if an insurer is involved, the securities regulator for a securities problem, or the public utilities commission for utilities problems.
If the problem involves a state-licensed trade (e.g., a general contractor or a plumber), call the state licensing department.
If you bought a "lemon" used car, investigate your state's lemon laws (which exist in every state except Arkansas and South Dakota) by contacting your state consumer protection agency.
If the problem involves mail order or mail fraud, contact your area postal inspector, who can be found in the U.S. government section of the phone book.
There may also be a local television news program hotline for resolving consumer complaints.
Tip: Call the agency first to find out what procedures it wants you to follow.
Filing a Lawsuit
When all else fails, you might want to file a court case--either a small claims case, if the amount of money involved is small enough (generally, under $5,000)--or a regular lawsuit.
More often than not, simply contacting an attorney and having him or her write a letter to the merchant or service provider indicating that you intend to file a lawsuit will get you the result you are seeking.
If a small claims case is involved, you generally won't need to hire an attorney, but if the case doesn't qualify for small claims, you'll probably need to hire an attorney.
There are many ways to reduce your bank fees.
Are there fees associated with your checking account? If so, then call your bank and find out what you can do to get free checking and free ATM usage. For example, you might need to keep a minimum balance in the account and use only ATMs at your own bank. You may want to ditch banks altogether and join a credit union, which typically charges less for banking services.
Don't keep too much money in a low-interest savings account. Find out how much money you'll need access to in an emergency (generally three to six months' worth of expenses) and keep only that amount in your savings account. The rest of your funds should be put to work.
Here are some ways to save on insurance of all types:
Do some shopping for a life insurance policy. It pays to check prices on life insurance policies periodically. Rates change frequently. Also, if you've quit smoking, you may be entitled to better rates after a few years.
Examine your life insurance needs to see whether you are paying for too much coverage.
Insure your home and autos with the same insurer. You may be able to get a break by doing this.
Shop for auto insurance to try to get a lower rate.
Install smoke detectors, burglar alarms, and sprinkler systems to save on homeowner's insurance. Ask your insurance agent about other savings.
Here are some thoughts to keep in mind when trying to cut utility costs:
Your utility company or state may have a program that subsidizes making your home more energy-efficient. If not, there's plenty of information out there about making your home more energy efficient such as caulking your windows and making sure your insulation's "R" factor is correct for your location.
Install Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) instead of incandescent bulbs to save energy and, in the long run, money.
Today's cost-cutting competition among phone service providers offers many opportunities for savings on your phone bills, such as:
Make sure you're paying as little as possible for long-distance charges. Take the time to investigate which long-distance carrier will save you the most, and switch to that carrier.
Don't dial "Information" Look it up in the phone book.
Have a block put on your phone for all "900" calls, if you have children at home.
Consider the following options to help you reduce the cost of your mortgage:
Consider paying down your mortgage. For most people, paying down a mortgage is an effective way of saving and increasing net worth. Decide that you will pay $100 or $200 per month-or more-in mortgage principal, and do it faithfully.

Homemade Flour Tortillas
Happy Cinco de Mayo! As you may have gathered by now due to the lack of related recipes appearing on the site this week, we don't do much to celebrate here. I'm not entirely sure why as we love any excuse to eat Mexican food; in fact, I just made our favorite chicken taquitos last night. But for whatever reason, dinner tonight probably won't involve Mexican food or Coronas or margaritas. I don't even remember celebrating Cinco de Mayo in college, and if ever there were a time I would have, surely that would be it.
My one nod to the holiday was to finally gather enough courage to get in my kitchen and try my hand at homemade flour tortillas earlier this week. These tortillas were one of the first things I ever pinned on Pinterest and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since - it was just a matter of working up the nerve to try them. I've also become hopelessly addicted to Pinterest in that time, but that's another story for another time...
At first glance, these tortillas seem really easy - just 4 ingredients in the dough, and only about a minute to cook each one. But I've been lulled into a false sense of security by recipes like this in the past so I was nervous. My biggest fear was that I wouldn't be able to roll the dough thin enough and wound wind up with thick, rubbery tortillas. I was so pleasantly surprised when the dough handled beautifully - it's not very sticky and is silky smooth in consistency. Even when rolled paper thin, it didn't tear or spring back. The cooking process proved to be the trickiest part of the process and only because it took a few tortillas to find the right temperature for my cast iron pan (similar to the way the first pancake or crepe never comes out quite as good as the later ones). I referred to this post from Our Best Bites for visual clues on cooking the tortillas and recommend checking it out if you have any problems.
If you've never had warm, fresh flour tortillas I can assure you they are leaps and bounds better than the ones available at your grocery store. There simply isn't any basis for comparison. So far I've been content to eat a few tortillas as is, but next up I've got my eye on these fish tacos from Shawnda. With the minimal effort required to make this recipe, I think we'll be stashing these in our freezer from now on!
Homemade Flour Tortillas
from Rick Bayless
12 oz (about 2 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus extra for work surface
5 tablespoons lard or vegetable shortening (or a mixture of the two)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup very warm water
Add the flour and shortening (or lard) to a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to work the fat into the flour - you want it incorporated completely. Combine the salt and water in a measuring cup and pour about 3/4 of the water over the flour/shortening mixture. Use a fork to stir to stir together until all of the dry ingredients are moistened, adding the rest of the water (and even a little more), if needed. Turn the dough onto your work surface and knead until smooth - it'll only take a minute or two. The dough shouldn't be very sticky, but if it is, add a tiny bit of flour to your hands so you can work with it.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Put them on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes. This rest time helps the dough relax so it'll be easier to roll.
Set a heavy skillet (I used cast iron) over medium to medium-high heat. Working with one piece of dough at a time, set on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 7-inch circle. Add only enough flour so you can work with the dough - it will be quite thin by the time it reaches 7 inches in diameter.
Transfer to the preheated pan - you should hear a sizzle when you place the dough in the pan and should see bubbles forming across the surface almost immediately. Cook for 30-45 seconds on the first side, then flip and cook 30-45 seconds on the other side. The tortilla should be golden brown and might have a few dark spots, but you don't want to overcook it or it will be crisp rather than pliable. Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, and continue stacking them under the towel. Serve warm, or let cool then wrap in plastic and keep at room temperature for a few days, or pop in the freezer. Reheat in the microwave wrapped in damp paper towels.

They look delicious. We've been buying the uncooked flour tortillas from the grocery store because neither of us like the store ones anymore. They're pretty good, but easily twice the price of regular ones. I've often wondered how easy it would be to make my own. Looks like it's possible! Thanks for sharing this.

These look great! I've never actually made flour tortillas... I attempted corn tortillas once, and they were a miserable failure. Looking at your photos makes me want to give it another go, though. Perhaps I'll start with the flour variety this time.

I really need to make tortillas again. I've only done it once, and like you said, it's amazing how good they are compared to the store-bought ones. I'm bookmarking this recipe to try.

Help! My flour tortillas came out to crackery....Is there any way I can maybe fix the dough? Maybe adding more water?? Thanks in advance...
- September 1, 2011 at 7:30 PM
These were great. My first shot at making them and after I got my cast iron at the right temperature, they cooked great. I can't wait to make fish tacos with them.

I am here to tell you, I made these little dough balls of "Heaven" last night and they were exactly that. I was amazed how easy the dough was to work with. It did say to let the dough balls rise for 30 min. before rolling out, but mine didn't do a whole lot of rising after the 30 min. but supper was getting done and I was in a crunch, and I guess to be honest, just plain to anxious to wait any longer. I used a stainless steel pan to cook them in, so I hit the pan with a little Pam just in caste these suckers wanted to stick. I will NEVER buy store bought again. Thanks for sharing this recipe
- January 2, 2012 at 9:25 AM
MMMM! I found your page through Pinterest and made these tonight and they were great! :) Between your directions and those on the other blog you linked to above, mine cooked up just right. Thanks for the great recipe!

- Cordovan said...
Can these be frozen? I was thinking once you get to the ball stage, they could be flash froze for an hour, then wrapped in plastic wrap and in baggies and froze the rest of the way.
That way, you can take a few out at a time- as many as you need- and let thaw, rise and roll.
Is this possible? - January 14, 2012 at 12:58 PM
- Tracey said...
@Cordovan - Not sure about freezing the dough before you cook the tortillas (haven't tried it), but once they're cooked, they can definitely be frozen.
- January 14, 2012 at 10:56 PM
- perchprincess said...
Try again...
Do you think I could cook these on my electric griddle? 400 degrees?
Oh, how lovely it would be to be able to cook two at once! - May 16, 2012 at 10:50 PM
- Tracey said...
@perchprincess - I suspect you could, but you'll probably have to play around a bit with the temperature to figure out what works. Let me know how it goes!
- May 17, 2012 at 10:27 AM
I made these for the first time ever making homemade tortillas tonight and they turned out amazing!! Thanks for the recipe!!

These tortillas look superb ! I have tried few homemade recipes but never came out well. Your recipe looks promising. I will definitely try this one. :)

Ummm, perfect! Tracy, LOVE all your stuff, plus Rick B. is awesome, so I knew these had to be good. I did it a little different and did half AP flour and half BF (bread flour) just a bit more chew. Liked it! I tried using Crisco before, but this time with the lard...so much better! I just rolled them out 3oz. for burrito size, pretty thin in between two pieces of plastic wrap. So easy and no extra flour! Also just threw them in a dry non-stick pan, worked great. The pan had to be hot enough. The first ones I flipped and flipped, it came out hard. After a quick Google, someone said don't flip, wait till it bubbles then flip once. When done put it under towels. PERFECT!! Super awesome!! Can't wait to have dinner! Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)

It all began simply: A hand-scrawled sign on a lamp post that read, "Want to volunteer? Meet at City Hall at noon."
Then there was the Facebook page, which cobbled together 19 like-minded friends interested in helping victims of a unique weather system that meteorologists later dubbed Superstorm Sandy.
"Our initial idea was that people would find each other on this page and solve each other's problems," said Tiby Kantrowitz, a Jersey City resident who helped organize the effort.
And then it grew.
"From 19 people it turned into 50 in about an hour-and-a-half," she said.
Now, hundreds buzz in and out of a historic downtown mansion in Jersey City, where a neighboring church donated the building to be used as the group's improvised headquarters.
Born out of what many described as a scarcity of local information and services in the storm's immediate aftermath, the Barrow Mansion is now a hive of volunteer activity that federal agencies like FEMA have looked to for partners.
"We all came together and joined our efforts," said Candice Osborne, a local resident who helped organize relief after Sandy's October 29 landfall.
Coordinated virtually all by social media, the once fledgling effort has burgeoned into a full-scale relief operation that delivers more than 250 meals per day, as well as clothing and cleaning supplies to storm-battered residents. The group also cleans out flood-soaked apartments, while dispatching scout teams to check on the elderly and disabled.
"It's been pretty incredible," said Osborne.
Pulling an iPhone from her pocket, she then thumbed across its cracked screen and opened a Facebook app to give a sense of how the delivery process works.
A request flashed on screen.
Holed up in his stormed-battered home, a Facebook user had asked for dog food and towels "from the volunteer network you are coordinating, if that is possible."
"On it!" Osborne replied, dispatching volunteers to the man's address, while tallying the appeal and recording her volunteers' names in the group's growing database.
Moments later, he wrote again.
"I don't know how to thank you. 10 minutes after my request, I had what I need. An almost magical effort."
With government agencies stretched thin to reach those still reeling in Sandy's aftermath, a patchwork of volunteer efforts like those in Jersey City have cropped up in storm-affected communities across the Tri-State area.
Forged quickly and often with little formal structure, neighborhood groups -- like the Barrow Mansion volunteers -- often prove especially effective by way of their numbers, energy and local knowledge. And at times, they offer victims their only reprieve in disaster-stricken communities.
"It's just one those beautiful heartbreaks," said nurse Katie Vacante, referring to how neighbors help each other in the wake of the crisis.
Bounding up stairs to deliver food in local apartment buildings, Irene Barnaby shares that very sentiment.
Power outages hobbled elevators across Jersey City, stranding the elderly and disabled as utility companies scrambled to restore power, making volunteer deliveries of food, water and blankets critical in those first days.
"Our first delivery was on the 17th floor," said the 31-year-old real estate agent.
Nine floors down, a wheelchair-bound woman named Vincencia Geiss braved the cold in her powerless apartment for about a week
"No heat. No hot water. Nothing," she said. "If I had to go down (the stairs), they'd have to carry me down. And I wasn't about to be carried."
The Barrow Mansion volunteers sent a nurse the following day. Though food supplies are a recurring concern.

"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z."
February 11, 2008 - The U.S. announces it will seek the death penalty against Mohammad, along with Mohammed al-Qahtani, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, Walid bin Attash, and Mohammed bin Attash, for charges related to the 9/11 attacks which include: conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, destruction of property in violation of the law of war, and terrorism and material support of terrorism.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer
On this particular Saturday, just as the 11 a.m. soccer games at Alger B. Wilkins Elementary are winding down, Martin and Victor Murray are separated by less than 100 yards.
Martin is in the center of a circle of youth soccer players whose actual coach hasn't shown up yet, despite it being just moments before the noon kickoff.
The 15-year-old is warming up the team, leading them through jumping jacks and push-ups with the sort of enthusiasm that brings giggles to the youngsters' mouths even as they count off the reps.
His twin brother, Victor, is still officiating one of the games that started earlier in the hour. Martin's game has been over for at least 10 minutes.
Those 100 yards are longer than the distance that usually separates the 15-year-old twins. They do almost everything together.
They hold offices - Martin, vice president, and Victor, secretary - in their school's Key Club International. When they're not doing any of that, they're youth preaching.
And on Saturday mornings in the fall, the pair don brilliant yellow jerseys to referee youth soccer games for the YMCA's youth sports league.
The two start their separate games promptly at 11 a.m. in similar ways, with a pre-game prayer and a reminder about the importance of playing hard within the rules.
But it soon becomes clear that Martin has the easier assignment, officiating a match between the Dragons and the Stallions, teams in the first-grade division. The season is in its fourth week, and he knows most of the players by name before the game even starts.
He issues high fives for goals and defensive stops, and when the primary goal scorer for each team reveals himself, Martin even offers a little play-by-play.
"We've got Adon and Ryan going head-to-head in this game," he says.
Victor has fewer chances to be vocal as he oversees a game between teams composed of second- and third-graders who have a better grasp of the fundamentals.
In fact, most of Victor's exchanges are with coaches and parents.
After the game, and just after Martin has finished warming up the next team to take the field, two parents want a moment of Victor's time.
One, an elderly gentleman leaning on a cane, demands to know if Victor has even read the rule book.
Victor, ever polite, launches into a string of "Yes, sir" and "I understand, sir" responses before leaving the two men to rehash the game on their own.
That's just part of the job, and one that both say is worth the opportunity to help the young players.
"We do a lot with the Y because we love to work with the kids and because we get to talk about our faith," Martin said.
The pair each lead their game's respective teams in a group prayer before the game.
"We put God first in everything that we do," Victor said.
