SAVE Room for negotiation?
I'm looking to rent soon - 2-3br on UWS in the 7k-12k range. It's been a while since I've done this. Are most units going for asking price these days or is there usually room to negotiate? Last time I rented, it was 2008 and I was able to negotiate 10% off asking price and half the broker's fee. I'm guessing this is not possible these days. Thoughts?
Yes, there is a large range, which reflects the fact that I could do either a 2br or a 3br. I'm certainly willing to spend less, but haven't seen anything yet that I like for less. Hunter, I'd love to hear that there is plenty of room for negotiation - has that been your experience?
Hunter, that makes a lot of sense, and back in 2008 I used that to my advantage. But I've been watching how quickly rentals are going these days and it seems like I'll probably have much less leverage given what seems to me like much higher demand.
Also, I used to be under the impression that a longer lease was advantageous to the landlord, but nowadays, it seems like brokers are trying to block long term leases due to their inability to collect on frequent broker's fees. Do you find that to be true as well?
There is a lot to negotiate like Hunter said. Especially for the amount of money on the table.
Also, you can negotiate with your broker. Tell them the most you will pay (one month or less), watch one of them jump.
Here is a smart broker...
04/15/2012 Listed by Magnolia J. Ocampo, Licensed Real Estate Broker at $12,000.
04/24/2012 Price decreased by 8% to $11,000.
05/02/2012 Price decreased by 5% to $10,500.
05/16/2012 Price decreased by 5% to $10,000.
05/23/2012 Price increased by 20% to $12,000.
05/23/2012 Previously Listed by Fenwick Keats Real Estate at $10,000.
What did we learn?
The apartment was off not rented for a full month and during that time it dropped 3 times in price until it raised back to 12,000.00 5 days ago.
So a month of rental income lost but nothing was learned by the broker. Start back at 12,000.00 hope for the best.
I am sure you can get the apartment/townhouse for under $10,000.00.
***Sorry this is an August 1 apartment, I thought it was immediate occp.
What does living there have to do with the negotiation? Also read slower...(here is what I said)
"There is a lot to negotiate like Hunter said. Especially for the amount of money on the table.
Also, you can negotiate with your broker. Tell them the most you will pay (one month or less), watch one of them jump."
I was adding to what Hunter said. I don't need to repeat it.
Thanks for the fucking brilliant comment.
Hey bem9, I'm a broker (technically salesperson - broker is the company). What's been mentioned here is good food for thought, but remember, in the summer market the biggest variable is speed. Thousands of recent graduates are moving to the city for their first jobs, and they are looking for the exact same living situation you've described, and at the exact same time.
Theoretically rents are negotiable, but in the time you submit an offer even 5% below asking, someone will have already swooped in and signed the lease at full price. Definitely submit a lower offer, just make sure you're willing to lose that apartment if the property owner gets a better one. And yup, the broker fees are negotiable.
wow!! what drama in the comment section, you can make a movie our of this,,, LOL. I have a 1300SF 2br/2ba renovated corner unit in a doorman building on the UES for $5,500 with one month broker fee if you are intrested call Ron 917-528-1199.
splain it please!The category is "No fee apartments" but in the info section it lists "Brokers protected"? Brokers are sending/taking us to "No fee apartments". sooo please explain. If the apt. is no fee does the owner pay the fee or do you pay the fee?

Losing Mum and Pup: A Memoir
Christopher Buckley
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Publication Date: 2009
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
This candid and intensely personal story details how the bestselling author coped with the passing of his parents, William F. Buckley, Jr., the father of the modern conservative movement, and Patricia Taylor Buckley, one of New York's most colorful socialites, between 2007 and 2008. Simultaneous.
"The memoir provoked by [Bill and Pat Buckley's] lives and deaths is loving, exasperated and very funny....[T]he writing...is generally top-drawer."
Thomas Mallon, New York Times Book Review, 05/03/2009
Review:"LOSING MUM AND PUP explains how the younger Mr. Buckley lost both his parents within the space of a year and lived to reel off bon mots about it....The events described in this book are enough to saddle an otherwise punctilious writer with metaphors that are as mixed as his emotions. Read it and chortle. Read it and weep."

Bill Chameides
Everyone has some gas now and then, but Boston's really got it going on.
Imagine driving all 784 miles of roadway within Boston's city limits. Writing in Environmental Pollution, Nathan Phillips of Boston University and co-authors did just that. (Full disclosure, four of the authors - Adrian Down, Jon Karr, Kaiguang Zhao and Rob Jackson - are at Duke.). But there was a method to their madness. They were looking for natural gas leaking up from distribution piping buried beneath the streets of Boston. And why would they do that? The story starts with everyone's favorite divisive subject.
Fracking for shale gas has changed the energy landscape for the US and perhaps the world. With falling prices and predictions of plentiful supplies of natural gas for decades to come, coal-fired power plants are looking more and more to be so 20th century. At the same time America's energy future is looking more and more secure.
Fracking has the potential to be an environmental boon. After all burning natural gas leads to far less pollution (e.g., nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, mercury) than burning coal and it doesn't leave a bunch of post combustion toxic waste to deal with. From a climate point-of-view, natural gas also appears to be a winner, at least at first blush. On a BTU basis, burning natural gas emits 30% less carbon dioxide than burning oil and 45% less than burning coal.
Win-win, right? Maybe not, at least when it comes to the environment. First of all there's all the hoopla about water contamination from fracking. And a number of scientists question whether natural gas really provides a climate benefit. Methane is the major component of natural gas and it is a potent greenhouse gas; 23 times more powerful of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Any natural gas that is vented to the atmosphere during drilling and from leaking pipelines will add to the greenhouse gas load in the atmosphere and the warming that results.
How serious is natural gas leakage? At the moment there is no consensus. If the fraction of unaccounted gas is only about 1.4%, as reported by industry, this is essentially a non-issue where climate is concerned. If EPA's estimate of 2.4% is correct it is a small but not negligible issue. However if it is as large as up to 7.9% as Howarth et al of Cornell University argue, it is a huge issue. So large in fact, that it might be better for the climate if we stuck with coal instead of natural gas.
It is unlikely that this debate will be settled soon but there is a straightforward way for the industry to make it moot. Find out where natural gas is escaping and shut those leaks down. And this is where Phillips et al come in--they took it upon themselves to search out and document the locations and sizes of major leaks in one of America's major cities - Boston.
Driving and Measuring
In the late summer to fall of 2011, Phillips et al conducted a total of 31 surveys, covering all Boston's roads. As they drove the city streets they measured methane levels at the same time that they mapped the locations using GPS. (See top figure.) The also recorded the carbon isotopic composition of a subset of leaks. Their results include:
- The discovery of more than 3,000 leaks under Boston's roads and sidewalks.
- The leaks cut across both rich and poor neighborhoods.
- Most of the leaks were linked to cast-iron pipes (some of which are more than a 100 years old) in the gas distribution system.
- Some leaks were up to 15 times background levels and six locations had levels in manholes that approached explosive conditions.
Making the Win-Win More of a Win-Win
The natural gas boom has often been characterized as a win-win. A win for the economy, our energy security and for the environment--with that last "win" being the less certain of the three. Phillips et al provide a path that could lead to a more realistic win-win: by finding and patching leaking natural gas pipes, gas companies could save money while benefiting the environment by using gas more efficiently at the same time that it reduces the greenhouse gas emissions from growing natural gas production.
Think of it a dose of beano for the nation's natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

Compassionate Character Development
This is my third post in a series, where each Monday I will post about a point of reflection or insight that I will use to reflect and meditate on during the week. In order to make it a bit more focused and interesting, I will attempt to do this with topics beginning with letters from A to Z. I have often found that having a specific topic to reflect and/or meditate on during the week really lends itself to interesting insights and growth, because you not only have several days to reflect and meditate on the topic, but you have several days to put any lessons and insights that you discover to work in your every day life. For those that follow me on Twitter (@JasonLivingNow) I will try to write updates as the weekly topics come up during meditations, moments of reflection, or just during every day life. To view the current and previous entries in this series, please visit the: Reflections and Insights A Through Z section.
C= Compassion: Compassion is best defined as empathetic action, where one takes steps to understand the cause of another's suffering, and then undertake action to ease the suffering, and hopefully prevent whatever problem or issue caused the suffering from occurring again in the future. Every religion, from Jesus' Beatitudes and teachings on charity, to Islam's Zakāt pillar of faith, to Buddhism's Eightfold Path, teaches that developing a compassionate character is essential for anyone wishing to live a happy and fulfilled life. The reason that every religion promotes compassion, is because it is an essential ingredient for not only your own happiness, but the happiness of others.
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama
Compassion naturally develops internal and external happiness, because compassion allows you to reflect your positive values and wisdom out into the world at large in order to make the world a better place. On an internal level, compassionately helping others naturally makes us feel good and raises our level of awareness. On an external level, compassion should be used to help alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings, which naturally makes those around us and the world at large happier. Also, as those around you become happier through your compassionate acts, they will naturally reflect your acts of kindness back to you, in the same way that ripples in a pond eventually return to their source.

M5 crash - one year on: Ceremony to remember victims
7:40pm Friday 2nd November 2012 in News
VICTIMS of the M5 disaster will be among those remembered at a ceremony this weekend.
The annual Time to Remember event, organised by local faith leaders, takes place at Taunton Deane Crematorium at 11am tomorrow (November 3).
It is open to anyone who wants to reflect on the life of a loved one who has died.
Musgrove Park Hospital's lead chaplain Viv Henderson said: "For some people, this will be the first opportunity to return to the crematorium since a significant loved one passed away.
"There will be an opportunity to light a candle and give thanks for all those we have lost continue to mean for us today.
"Last year, we met the morning after the crash, so felt it natural to include the M5 crash victims and families alongside the names of loved ones recalled by the 40 folk who attended."

BESSEMER, Ala. (AP) -- Officers have seized 3,500 counterfeit items with a retail price of $425,000 from a flea market in Jefferson County.
A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says federal, state and local law enforcement targeted 35 vendors Saturday at the Bessemer Flea Market. Some of the seized items included counterfeit CDs, DVDs and sportswear.
Special agent Raymond Parmer said counterfeit products cost law-abiding Americans their jobs by depriving legitimate businesses of sales.

This came along the other day, I thought at first it was for the 1917, but after a bit of searching conclude it was a Russian contract for the 1895 Winchester and made by Winchester. The best refrence picture was of one for sale for the paultry amount of $1,495.
Is this in fact a Russian contract bayonet for the 1895 in 7.62x54R cal?
Was it also used by US Forces?

Quality IT applications are the backbone of most business processes today, yet, according to Forrester Research, "one-third of business stakeholders are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the quality of their software." Poorly tested and integrated software has a severe affect on a business's customers, sales, partnerships, employees and financial bottom line.
At Ciber, our focus goes beyond testing: we take a holistic approach to Quality Assurance and Testing (QA & T) by examining the impacts on the quality and success of your implementation – estimations, tools and methods used, schedule pressure, requirement changes, inadequate metrics, inadequate release and configuration management process.
Our client-focused methods and standardized QA processes have evolved from best practices, tempered by hundreds of real-world QA engagements. Our solutions are tailored to meet your needs and are designed to achieve tangible results.
Our QA & Testing methods focus on the prevention and early detection of defects, as well as the traditional method of testing for defects at a later stage. This proactive approach allows you to reduce your Total Cost of Quality (TCOQ) and thereby, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
In addition, our Testing framework and QA & Testing assets (People, Process, and Methods) are tied together by a robust governance model. The synergy of this framework increases efficiencies, maximizes your return on testing investments, and improves quality to near-zero defects. Savings generated by the framework can be re-invested in new solutions to improve competitiveness.
Ciber provides efficient, cost-effective solutions that stabilize or reduce your testing costs, improve customer satisfaction, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Microsoft launches IE 8 with a smile
LAS VEGAS--Having finished its latest browser, Microsoft on Thursday kicked off its campaign to get consumers to actually start using it.
After years of losing market share to Firefox and other rivals, Microsoft is hoping to convince people, many of whom use old versions of Internet Explorer, to give the company a new look.
Part of that marketing push is a light-hearted video on the history of the Internet that also shows off some of the new features of Internet Explorer 8, including its private browsing mode and so-called "accelerators" that let users take action without leaving the … Read more

The People Under the Bridge
Residency restrictions placed on sex offenders led to three people to be forced to live across the street from the Miami-Dade's felony courthouse underneath a bridge. By doing so, their probation officers could check on them every night during their state-mandated curfew.

Unfortunately for everyone, after His reelection His Majesty is now more free to be himself.
But all calls from the muslim brotherhood are put straight through to the president.Even if you don´t like Bush´s policies,it´s no excuse to be ignorant and rude towards other world leaders. What a thin skinned punk this guy is.Iraq´s democracy isn´t perfect but it´s better than all these other lame attempts Obama has tried to mastermind.Islamists in Egypt want to destroy priceless historical artifacts like the pyramids and Spinx.Would anybody be surprised to see Obama take their side?
0 is jealous because Al - Maliki won a fair election. Al - Malaki could teach Americans a few things about fair elections, the inky thumbprint for instance.
Of course Obama wouldn´t speak with Al Maliki.Al-Maliki is Sunni; Obama is Shiite.
actually he was on the other line talking to Hugo
What an assclown.
But Bammy is a Sunni.
#4 - Isn´t Malaki a Shia?
I am getting more and more angry that the blood of our best was spent in Iraq and that Obama, by snubbing a duly elected leader of that country, snubs our dead.POS.

Great route -- well-protected face cruxes and some wild, varied trad climbing on pitches 1-3, transitioning abruptly to sport-bolted knob pulling for the next 5 pitches. You can leave your packs in the bowl atop P4 if you plan to rap the route, since you will pass by here on the way down and won't need the gear after this point. P1: tunnel through a bizarre chimney to a two-bolt belay, 5.9. P2: tightly bolted face climbing (5.10c) to a wide crack (5.10a). P3: wild, airy underclings protected with multiple big cams (5.10a) culminating in a small bolt-protected roof (5.10a). This pitch is the reason you should ignore the Satoris start variation! P4: face climb past 4 bolts to a large bowl-shaped ledge (5.8). P5-P8: bolted knob pulling for 4 solid pitches of carefree sport climbing (5.9, 5.9, 5.10a, 5.10a or 5.10c variation to the right). Descent: rap the route (see topo for most efficient sequence). Variations: Satoris (5.8) joins this route at P4 but you miss the fun of P3, which is one of the highlights of the route. Bring wide gear. Wonderwall P1 was used for the FA, giving one pitch of runout 5.9 to a short linkup at 5.7 below the 5.10c bolted low crux. This avoids the fun tunnel-through on P1. Rumor has it that MS and an itinerant grad student are planning to bolt a finish to all this...
A full topo with more beta can be found at www.rangeoflight.com/Portal.htm (Mike Strassman's site). Look for a cairned turnoff from the hiker's trail beneath the buttress, and head up to the start under Satoris.
Draws for P4-P8, full trad rack (multiple #4 and #5 Camalots helpful on P3) for both Ghostrider and Satoris start variations. Unless you plan to summit via Wonderwall or Satoris, two 60m ropes are MANDATORY to rappel the route!
I would like to add my two cents worth. I found the crux pitches harder than I expected (felt like 5.10d to me, and the undercling was tough too!)), and the top face pitches seemed to go on forever. Still, a very good adventure, and a worthwhile climb with a short approach. And you can have a burger and fries at the end of the road resturant too when you get done!
Don't be intimidated by the Grade rating of this climb; this eight-pitch climb is much shorter and less demanding than those Grade IV's found in Yosemite (in fact, in my opinion this route is a Grade III unless summitting). The cracks protect well and the face pitches are well-bolted and in addition go extremely quickly. Also, the huge ledge half way up the route makes for a great place to kick off the climbing shoes, rest, and have lunch. Due to the above reasons, this is an excellent climb for those wanting to do a longer route that haven't yet done so. The short approach and brainless, non-committing descent (rappel the route), also add to the friendly quality of this route. In my opinion, pitches two and three--the best pitches by far--should be combined. This makes for an awesome, strenuous, and long pitch with both cruxes of the climb (10c face and 10a roof traverse) combined in one pitch. I would love to go back to this route again!
Another option for starting Ghostrider is via the first pitch of Gangway. 4 bolts, some gear. Wandering face to a two-bolt belay at a ledge.
Anybody "run" into that weird "bolt" on P-2? Third one as you move past the belay and before rounding the corner. You can't clip it; the eye is too small. Looks like something you'd find at a hardware store.
Bruce, I saw that bolt and took a photo. Nice unit. ~Susan
Pitch 1: Topo has 5.6 with some 5.9 at the top. Don't be fooled. The 5.6 must be the walkup, and in the chimney is at a minimum 5.8 and a hassle with a pack. Great pitch though, and worth doing. Once you exit the chimney, it might be 5.4 to the station. Chimney takes good pro in the back using 2.5" to 4.5" cams. It protects well and is nothing to be worried about. Anchor is a 1/4" bolt and a fairly old 3/8 bolt. Back it up with a large stopper out right. Bomber! Pitch 2 & 3: String these together for sure. The moves to pass the bolts are pretty hard, right away. Topo shows 4 bolts in that section, but there are actually 3, with the top one the weird 1/4" guy that is not really needed. A 3.5" cam protects the transition from face/layback to crack. Easy laybacking leads to another bolt and the nice undercling. A couple of long runners is all you need. Pro in the undercling is 4" at the start and gets smaller. Use a 2.5" cam to get set for the roof moves. A bolt protects the moves over the roof. Pitch 4: Easy and short. Maybe 5.7 with a few bolts. A bolt protects the hardest move, just before getting onto the big ledge. Pitch 5 and onward: Start on the top of the pillar.... follow bolts upward. No real cruxes on the 5th, 6th, or 7th pitches. Maybe 5.8+, not 5.10. 7th pitch use a long sling on the second to last bolt.... it zigzags a bit. Pitch 8 starts out easy and then has a small boulder problem that is probably 10a minus. We went left and it was easy past this to the anchor. 6 raps with two 70m ropes to ground, following the route. Rack: 7 -8 draws 7 - 8 long slings/draws few Med to Large stoppers 1ea 3/4" - 1.5" cams 2ea 2" - 3" cams 1 #3.5 Camalot 1 4" Cam 1 #4 or #4.5 Camalot (for first pitch if you push cams)
RIP Michael Strassman....
While we are handing out R.I.P.s, I'll toss one in for Raleigh Collins too.... this route really is becoming a "ghostrider".
Tanager can now be done as another alternative for a first pitch. Might be the best start of them all. (See Tanager for specifics).
As stated above, definitely string pitches 2 and 3 together. It's not only more fun, but it skips an awkward belay. Also, the first pitch of the knob climbing has what looks like a 2-bolt belay after only about 50 feet (not indicated on the topo). Don't stop here, it's pointless. Also, thanks to anybody who was involved in bolt replacement on this route. The belay at the top of P1 currently sports a nice shiny bolt in place of the old junker; two good bolts now reside there.
Just a note on gear: Reading the above description I brought way too much wide stuff. A good rack would be a single set of cams to #4 C4 with doubles on #3. The roof traverse is mostly 3 camalot.
As everyone else has stated, definitely link 2 and 3. I found two C4 #4 cams useful, had two C4 #5 cams and never placed them, dead weight. The last four pitches after the ledge have been described as "carefree sport climbing" and in the guidebook as "heavily bolted" face climbing. At best I would describe them as adequately bolted, with 8 or less bolts per 150+ft. pitch, you could be looking at quite the fall. Granted if you have made it this far you probably won't fall.....
Haha, probably should've read the description before jumping on this. If you're 6' or taller, and/or a bit wide in the shoulders, be ready for a battle in the tunnel. (And probably a good thing to take more than one #4 & #3 -- unless you like inching them up for 50+ feet of awkward.) Oh, yeah, and a lot of the "x"s on the topo are merely for decoration...
Quality line. 2x #3 camalot, 1x #4 is perfect for the undercling. The knob pitches up top become monotonous and less fun after a while.. especially when your toes are already hurting from the endless knobs AND you endure a mostly hanging belay atop P6.
Classic route. Linking 2 & 3 makes for an incredible pitch of full value climbing. The traverse under the roof is definitely wild. As others mentioned, I wouldn't call the upper pitches tightly bolted, as I couldn't seem to find many of those x's either, but the climbing is never hard, especially after what came before. A must do.

For Greater Glory
Two and a half stars (out of four)
Rated R

Two and a half stars (out of four)
Rated R
Give this to the mostly gripping, old-school historical epic For Greater Glory: The movie will have viewers looking up the history of the Mexican Revolution. Once you do, youll encounter a whole cast of interesting characters and not only Porfirio Diaz, Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa.
Glory, though, concentrates on the little-known Cristero War, a conflict at the tail end of the revolutionary era in the 1920s. It was a bloody and frequently brutal battle between devout supporters of the Catholic church and President Plutarco Elias Calles governments attempt to secularize the country and blunt the power of anti-revolutionary sermons from the pulpit.
The movie which occasionally veers off into melodramatic territory and includes too many people making what feels like long-winded statements of ideals squarely comes down on the side of the clerics, including an early scene in which Mexican soldiers drag an elderly and frail priest (Peter OToole, looking like death warmed over) out of his church and setting up an impromptu firing squad. Equally brutal is the lynching of another priest by government forces inside the sanctuary of a church.
Once the filmmakers establish the villains mostly standard sadistic government types, aside from Calles, who is portrayed as a cross between Machevelli and Stalin by musician Ruben Blades we get to meet the heroes among the faithful.
Most interesting is Enrique Gorostieta Velarde (a solid Andy Garcia), an agnostic military man hired by the Catholic faithful to lead rebel forces. The movie argues he joined the struggle out of boredom as the story opens hes running a soap factory but slowly became to believe in the cause.
Even more colorful is the charismatic bandit-turned religious warrior Victoriano El Catorce Ramirez (Oscar Isaac) and Father Vega (Santiago Cabrera), who turns in his priestly collar for a rifle and a generals title.
Interestingly, the movie gives short shrift to some of the atrocities Vega purportedly committed burning civilians alive and the summary execution of captured government soldiers while dwelling on the governments act of barbarities. The most difficult to watch is the torture of an angelic altar boy turned rebel, Jose (Mauricio Kuri).
The movie which clocks in at well over two hours, but doesnt feel long throws in a lot of history during its running time, but also does a good job of personalizing the events, especially with the character of Jose. Telling the story through the eyes of an innocent simplifies what was no doubt far more complicated.
So yes, For Greater Glory is manipulative, simplistic and probably twists the historical record for its own purposes. In other words, the movie might not be good history, but it makes an entertaining movie with a compelling central story and colorful characters.

I have also started changing the program to try and cope with 2 sets of settings in the INI file to cover each of the modes (or conditions as Tarot calls them). The trouble is, I haven't figured out a good way of dealing with having the 2 modes, so the current version is some what experimental and fiddly when it comes to dealing with the 2 modes. I really don't want to release it as a general release and then have people confused about what it is doing. |

I was beginning to wonder if it was anything to do with the way that John's software actually installs, whereas the others appear to just run, after installing the USB driver. My next step will have to be a full uninstall of John's software (safe in the knowledge i can easily re-install it) and see if that helps. |

On my CX 3x1000, I note that all the parameter values remain unchanged when I flip from condition 1 to condition 2, which may be why I've not had any weird behaviours from the controller, if your theory is true. (and it seems like a very plausible theory) There are a couple of things I notice. First of all, it's not possible to select any of the tabbed screens by clicking on the tab - though the "Next" button works. I recall that being pointed out quite a while back, so it's surprising they haven't fixed it - or maybe it's just an XP thing. Secondly, when I go into the "monitor" screen, everything is flashing, approx twice a second. It's still usable, but seems to be some sort of glitch. I don't see the LED's on the controller flashing in sync with this effect. Thanks for the link! I was starting to feel like a bit of a dweeb! |

Removed from the synonymy of Bufo by Pregill, 1981, Copeia, 1981: 273-285, where it had been placed by Günther, 1859 "1858", Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus.: 281; but replaced in Bufo by Hedges, 1996, in Powell and Henderson (eds.), Contr. W. Indian Herpetol.: 100, and Pramuk, 2000, J. Herpetol., 34: 334. Removed again by Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 214, who suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that Peltophryne is distantly related to any Neotropical bufonids, instead being more closely related to various Eurasian and African groups. Van Bocxlaer, Loader, Roelants, Biju, Menegon, and Bossuyt, 2010, Science, 327: 679-682, in a densely-sampled molecular analysis suggested that Peltophryne is the sister taxon of Rhaebo. Peltophryne was suggested to be tied to the former Bufo granulosus group (now Rhinella granulosa group) according to Cei, 1972, in Blair (ed.), Evol. Genus Bufo: 87. Graybeal and Cannatella, 1995, Herpetologica, 51: 122, noted that there is no evidence in support of the monophyly of Peltophryne in the sense of including Peltophryne fluviatica, which is plesiomorphic with respect to the others in diagnostic morphological features. Pramuk, 2002, Herpetol. Monogr., 16: 121-151, reported on the phylogenetics of the Bufo peltocephalus group, concurring with the notion of its close relationship to the Bufo granulosus group, although sampling density of outgroups was not great. Pramuk, Hass, and Hedges, 2001, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 20: 294-301, provided a phylogenetic study of the Bufo peltocephalus group (= Peltophryne). Pramuk, 2006, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 146: 407-452, and Pramuk, Robertson, Sites, and Noonan, 2008, Global Ecol. Biogeograph., 17: 72-83, demonstrated that Peltophryne is distantly related to other Neotropical and Nearctic bufonids. Synonymies are available in Schwartz and Thomas, 1975, Spec. Publ. Carnegie Mus. Nat. Hist., 1: 11-13, and in Schwartz, Thomas, and Ober, 1978, Spec. Publ. Carnegie Mus. Nat. Hist., 5: 3. Key to Hispaniolan species available in Henderson, Schwartz, and Inchaustegui, 1984, Ser. Monogr. Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Santo Domingo: 21. Smith and Chiszar, 2006, Herpetol. Conserv. Biol., 1: 6-8, implied that this taxon should be considered a subgenus of Bufo; see comment under Bufonidae. Pramuk, Robertson, Sites, and Noonan, 2008, Global Ecol. Biogeograph., 17: 72-83, discussed the phylogenetic position of Peltophryne. Van Bocxlaer, Biju, Loader, and Bossuyt, 2009, BMC Evol. Biol., 9 (e131): 1-10, suggested a novel set of relationships of New World taxa, but did not include examplars of this taxon. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, confirmed the monophyly of this taxon (although it is difficult to see because the authors explicitly adopted a non-monophyletic and out-dated taxonomy), provided a tree of their exemplar species and suggested that Peltophryne sits deeply within the bufonid tree. Alonso, Crawford, and Bermingham, 2012, J. Biogeograph., 39: 434-451: 434-451, provided a molecular tree and biogeography of the Cuban members of this taxon, suggesting a relationship of (Peltophryne taladai + (Peltophryne empusa + (Peltophryne peltocephala + Peltophryne florentinoi))) + ((Peltophryne cataulaciceps + Peltophryne longinasus) + Peltophryne gundlachi).

Sharolyn Hohman is a woman who can 'turn it around' in Goodyear City, Arizona
Thursday, February 14th, 2013I enjoy writing about women I believe ought to be involved into politics. On this Valentines Day, I want to tell you about Sharolyn Hohman who is running for Goodyear City Council. I'm told early ballots were mailed this morning, and the citizens of Goodyear will want to know more about their options.
The purpose for me writing this story has much to do with a grieving mother. Many of my readers might recall a story I wrote
here with regard to Shay Pendleton, an Arizona mother who continues to grieve over the unsolved mystery and the death of her son in Goodyear, Arizona. This is an unsolved mystery with regard to the Goodyear Police Department, and you can hear Shay's story here via the Lou Show. [In my personal view, both Wally Campbell and Joe Pazillo are two city council members that should NOT be re-elected into office since they have pretty much spit on this grieving mother.]
That said, Shay and I went to an event recently hosted for Sharolyn Hohman at the Caballero Restaurant, and I must say I was impressed with Hohman's political resume. I believe she can turn it around in Goodyear City and has tremendous background and support from business owners. She served as the President and CEO of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce for 25 years. She is a business professional with a BA from Grand Canyon University and a Masters from Northern Arizona University and has received numerous honors over the span of her career. According to her mass mailer, she has hands-on, long-term involvement with the City of Goodyear and all of the West Valley.
From Sharolyn Hohman's website:
Sharolyn is a founding member of: Estrella Toastmasters, Tri-City Jaycees, Leadership West, Tri-City West Boys and Girls Club, and The Southwest Lending Closet.
She serves on boards of several local nonprofit organizations and her Civic Activities include:
- Goodyear Arizona Centennial Committee – 3 yrs.
- Goodyear Industrial Development Authority/ Public Improvement Corp. Comm. – 9 yrs.
- Goodyear All American City Representative
- Goodyear Police Academy/ Southwest Citizens Academy
- Citizens Transportation Oversight Committee
- Career Technical Education Advisory Board, State of Arizona
- Estrella Mountain Community College President's Community Advisory Council
- Arizona Farm and Ranch Experience
Honors include:
- Seton Hall of Fame Distinguished Alumni-2012
- Estrella Soroptomist Ruby Award-2011
- West Valley Magazine "Shaker"-2009
- Goodyear Lion of the Year-2004
- Maricopa Workforce Connection "Super Star"-October, 2002
- Arizona Woman Magazine Trendsetter-June, 1998
- Arizona Chamber Executive President-1998
- Goodyear Jaycee of the Year-1994
Please Vote for Sharolyn Hohman on March 12.
Paid for by the Committee to Elect Sharolyn to Goodyear City Council

I started reading Patrick.net back in 2007. Since then, prices have collapsed in many areas, a banking crisis has largely come and gone, and a bad recession has mostly played out, national elections have occurred, and a war has finally ended.
In my opinion the worst is over in terms of the economic repercussions from the housing bubble, and the only reason I really come here is to entertain myself in the politics section. In other words, Patrick.net has outlived it's usefulness to me, and I have certainly outlived my usefulness to Patrick.net. I've enjoyed my time here and my interactions with all the various and sundry denizens of this place, but it's time to move on. I may still read the news and information here, but this will be my final post.
Best wishes to everyone, I wish you all much success, and I hope you all get the dream house at a bargain price!

Ok cool, keep us posted.
I played about 20 turns
I felt like I was in an antfarm, I had one of those when I was a kid.
You have made peace with the evil Wheredehekowi tribe-we demand you tell us if they are a tribe that is playing this scenario.
We also agree not to crush you, if you teach us the tech of warp drive and mental telepathy and give 10 trinkets
Alrighty, definitely some basic changes to make, but I've played a full game with each species and even finally won once! Lot of variety in this game, from huge, advanced civilations to a nearly empty, desolate map. Currently trying a single-nest, republic game (4 species already extinct!) with some success!
Couple of spoiler hints to help, since there was no describe.txt in this version:
First, you may need to adjust a couple of units;
make sure spiders are at move:2.
Poly-Workers and Large Queens should have Att 0; too difficult to maintain under Rep/Dem.
The invisible Ant-Lions should be made tougher. and I'll add more of them.
Other changes include tying some city improvements to particular species genomes as prereqs; setting a couple of wonders that are currently no-no (an accident) to carpenter genome, weaver genome, and leaf-cutter genome specifically; making 'darwins key' the prereq for building spiders (rather than no-no); and learning darwin's key made event-triggered. Total turns for game reduced by about 100 (300ish in all).
Now the hints:
-Quick exploration makes for a lightning early game, average units move 4 spuares per turn.
-Ant nests (cities) are named in whole or in part after the scientific names of various, random ant species. The capitals are named after the scientific name for the species you are playing. Ex: Army, Dolymorphous; Leaf-Cutters, Myrmicinae; Carpenters, Carpentiessi... etc. Take out the 1st queen of a species (Move 0, home in capital city), and the species is out of the game. This is the fastest way to take out an enemy, and a weakness even for ridiculoulsy powerful colonies.
-Rapid terraforming rate means that it makes sense to efficiently utilize and max production on each square b/ moving to the next.
-No negotiations. But non-aggressive species are unlikely to attack (aka. harvesters)
-Exotic ants produces really tough ants for army, bulldog, fire, and harvester ants.
-Grasshoppers have an attack of 1. Let 'em catch a nest, and the nest will produce grasshoppers (each good for gold when captured!). Note that ants do domesticate other insects (although, probably not grasshoppers, of course). Learned this one on accident last night.
--most units are 'treat as roads' and 'ign zone control'. Th go to function works almost perfectly!!!! and speeds up the game remarkably.
Anyway, turns out there is quit a bit of work, but since my computer is down, it's going to be a while. Pelase check it out, and any and all ideas for improvement are welcome here!
Ants. An MGE scenario
Oh yeah, Happonashi is the king spider who lives in the middle of the map. Defeating him alows a shortcut to late-game advances, (specifically other species genome) and allows the building of spiders. Good luck!
and, last. I can't beat the game on Queen Level yet. I've been playing at easier levels. This is mostly due to how successful the expansionist AI civs are on the gigantic map, I think.

With the alpha version, how do I go about listing this scenario in the main dowloads area, for people that are just surfing for scenarios?
Also, thinking the alpha might be a ways off, and it might even be in TOT format based on what I've read by artists at this site (haven't played it though, so not sure). Anyway, plenty of room for ideas, new units, changes, etc. If you cna help, let me know!

Ants. An MGE scenario
Hey all! This project has definitely been on the back-burner. After a couple of months of playing some classic scenarios (and learning about multi-player world a bit) I am about ready to make my alpha push. I may want to redo terrain and city graphics, especially if anyone is interested in helping. game mechanics and playability are working pretty well.
Also, here is a link to the old cached thread, pre big crash. It's full of interesting ideas and advice. Also it's neat to see so many 'maybe' ideas that actually made it...

Please check your PM for reply sent this afternoon.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
Looking for new terrain graphics, specifically a dark crack in the ground that was part of some tiles Krashanka put together in the old thread. The thread is retored from cache (see above link), but the file no longer connects. Krashank, if you're still out there, can you ressend them?
Anyone else that has ideas for terrain graphics, I'm going to redo the graphics.
Ants. An MGE scenario
Hi Biru
I like your ant scen idea a lot
but let me tell you that the units you have will take something out of it, because:
a) they arent easily identifiable (no one wants to identify a unit by its name, but wants to be familiar with it and just play along)
b) they are in all probability way too many!
I faced a similar problem with a scen i had made, a lot of units but mostly looked the same, so you couldnt say which one was what.
I suggest that you limit the number of units to the basic ones:
yellow/red/black worker ants, guardian ants
i tried to make something that could work, but i dont think it is great, however what is key here is to be able to tell what is what, in this case everyone can understand that the first unit is a yellow worker ant, and the second a black worker ant
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate that it is difficult to tell many of the ants appart. For general reference, the bigger the ant, the tougher it is. If your ant is bigger than the one next to it, it will probably win a fight.
Of course, now that the beta is finished, and after the many hours of making units and integrating them with the tech tree has been vested, i would prefer not to scrap any of them.
Harry Tuttle noted a similar thing, and offered a great solution. Special unit shields, with rank indicators, could help to quickly/roughly evaluate relative unit strengths. A sample of these shields is on page one of this thread, midway down. please check it out as a reference.
Adding shields/rank indicators is going to be a bit time-consuming though, and take some units-design knowlege. Varwnos, if you are willing to work on this, let me know. i will help categorize which units should have which ranks.

It may be some multi-player friend online that I passed the link to and who posted it well-meaningly, without knowing the rules. If so, I will ask around and get it fixed.

Oh the deadly river!
Main water feature in the game is a river that isolates 1/3 of the map. It is only 2-3 squares wide most places, but since the only boat in the game sinks off shore and only moves 2 squares, crossing the river becomes very perilous. Though you can move 4 units per boat, you risk losing them all to sinking, wasps, and amphibious river ants. Attrition rate on the river is high.
Queens can paradrop over it and build a nest on the other side, but risky in hostile territory of course.

Twenty Year Marker
Twenty years ago I stood in front of the glassed-in case of "pastors" pictures' in the second-floor hallway of the "B" building. I was a brand new pastor. I looked at the two longest pastorates in Bethlehem's 109-year history and thought, "Maybe God would keep me faithful long enough to be here that long." When you are 34 years old, that seems very long. Now it is past and my tenure as senior pastor is the longest in the history of this church.
Your celebration this past summer of God's goodness in these twenty years of ministry was the highlight of our year. O how loved we felt! As we always do. Thank you again for your lavish words and for the new air-purification system in our home. Long-timers will perhaps have noticed that this was the first fall in my memory that I did not cough my way through any sermons or come close to losing my voice. God has been very good to us.
Preaching as Worship
Our corporate worship life in 2000 was permeated by two extended sermon series: Education for Exultation and Romans 5-6. It was good to take the first half of the year and immerse ourselves in some of the long-cherished values and convictions that energize this ministry (E4E). And it was good to probe the mysteries of justification through the "Second Adam," and sanctification through the free grace of God. "Thanks be to God that you became obedient to the teaching" (Romans 6:17).
Education for Exultation
What an amazing year it was as we pursued a $9 million goal of pledges by October 15, toward building a new educational building where the old sanctuary now stands, and a large multi-purpose gym/youth/community-life/banquet/worship space beside it to the west. We now stand at about $6.3 million pledged and given for a two-year period. We have set a new goal of April, 2001 for the remainder to be pledged. We aim to enter the new complex debt-free, which means we will not build until all the money is pledged for that space of time. The pledging is remarkable. It averages out to almost $10,000 per giving unit over and above budget giving over a two year period. Pray for the rest of the wonder.
Growing without Growing is part of what the Elders saw as the vision of Education for Exultation. Keep bringing people to Christ, but don't keep multiplying services or buildings HERE. Instead try to plant churches in other places that will take people away from here with the same vision of God and ministry and missions. Two churches were sent out. Over a hundred of our people went to Grace Richfield, and about 40 went to Sovereign Joy Fellowship.
Sunday Morning Growth
The Sunday morning attendance growth has taken us by surprise and made most of our planning seem slow. Here are the raw numbers. They represent the average Sunday morning worship attendance not counting the nurseries or preschoolers - only those who are in the sanctuary (or overflow space) during worship.
1995: 906
1996: 941
1997: 1122
1998: 1314
1999: 1665
2000: 2035
2001: 2212
You can see that the attendance has just about doubled in the last three years. This has caused the elders to scramble. We are working hard on pastoral structures and staffing that we pray will help us do an authentic job of being a covenant community of believers seven days a week, and not just a weekend event. The proposed budget for 2001 has three new full time staff in it who, God willing, will be called some time this year. We pray that the upshot of such additions will not be more professionalism, but more equipping and releasing of the gifts and graces of the saints in service of each other and the world.
I encourage you to read the reports of the various ministries and departments for what God has been doing among us and through us.
The Call to Write
See the Desiring God Ministries report for a list of my own activities outside Bethlehem. I will only mention here my deep gratitude to the church for freeing me to speak and write. I completed two manuscripts for publication in 2000: 1) the second volume of the series, The Swans Are Not Silent, called The Hidden Smile of God: The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, David Brainerd and William Cowper, which will be in your hands, Lord willing, before the end of January this year; and 2) Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ. This is going through final editing just now and will be out, God willing, in the later spring. O how I pray God will spread a passion for the glories of Jesus through this book. It is one that I think you could give to a thoughtful unbeliever to introduce him or her to the Jesus you love and worship.
On the Home Front
On the home front I am blessed. I love my wife and children and they love me. Karsten and Shelly are expecting our second grandchild. Ben is at Moody and planning on Muslim missions. Abraham is working at Impact Mailing and playing his guitar in coffee shops around the Twin Cities. Barnabas just got accepted to Wheaton for the fall. Talitha is in pre-school three days a week.
Noël has come into her own right as a writer, winning second place and third place respectively in a poetry and inspirational writing context sponsored by Writers Digest in which 19,000 contestants compete for first place. I love being married to a multi-talented, God-exalting, church-loving, husband-supporting, prize-winning mom.
A Passion for Bible Memory
As I turn to the new year, I have a renewed passion for memorizing Scripture. My middle name is "Stephen". I want to be like him. "full of the Spirit and of wisdom" (Acts 6:3); "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (6:5); "full of grace and power" (6:8). They could not resist "the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking" (6:10). I believe the key to this goal is that my 56th year be more full of prayer and the Bible - memorized than in any year of my life. Would you pray for me, that this come true - for the sake of your own souls and for the sake of the nations.
Loving to be here,
Pastor John

Removing the dodgy DIMM meant everything went back to normal, the pre-existing files weren't corrupt on disk and fortunately the server wasn't in production use yet (it was being repurposed from minor duties, so the issues hadn't surfaced before). cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.

Side Dishes: Big Chile Republic, Boloco, Chef's Corner
It took a lot of phone calls, but Mark Gauthier, manager of Big Chile Republic, has confirmed the restaurant's demise. "We did have to close," Gauthier explains. "It was just a matter of really bad timing, I think, as far as the economy goes. If we had a crystal ball, we would have done things differently."
Bean counters? On July 23, Seven Days published a "Taste Test" on Boloco [1], a new eatery located on Church Street.
The article included a sidebar comparing the offerings of three local burrito joints: Boloco, New World Tortilla [2] and Bueno Y Sano [3]. The problem? Only one of the three listed businesses, Bueno Y Sano, includes Burlington's 11 percent tax in its prices. According to BYS owner Will Lowry, "The price of a bean burrito without tax . . . is $4.90, and the price of our most popular menu item, [the] chicken burrito, is $6.23."
When the folks at College Street's wrap spot aren't correcting our math, they're serving up something new: crispy, spicy Cajun catfish tacos, topped with a squirt of chipotle sour cream. The hot, new item was a hit at the Chew Chew Fest [4]. With Big Chile Republic out of the picture, it's nice to have a new fish taco option.
Those who like the creamy topping but not the "cat" can get the condiment on a burrito of their choice for no additional charge. Look for another new addition, local-corn salsa.
They may be thousands of miles from the Green Mountains, but 12 Vermont soldiers at Camp Stone in Herat, Afghanistan, are in for a little taste of home. "We're sending 100 pounds of granola," dishes Chef's Corner [5] co-owner Jozef Harrewyn. "We've got everything boxed up and ready to go.
"I personally have a lot of respect for soldiers, because my dad was in World War II and my grandfather was a general," says Harrewyn. "I'm not pro-war, but I am pro-military. We're primarily doing it for good will." A call to Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie [6] helped get the ball rolling.
The Williston breakfast and lunch spot, famous for its creative eggs Benedict specials and pastries galore, flavors its homemade cereal with coconut, almond, citrus zest and brown sugar. Sure sounds better than freeze-dried omelettes.
Wanna eat for a good cause? Sure you do. On Monday, August 18, the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging [7] will host its second annual "Top Chef of the Champlain Valley" competition at UVM's Davis Center. There, three local chefs — Connie Jacobs Warden of Chow! Bella [8], Sam Palmisano of Pulcinella's [9] and David Hoene of Pauline's Café — will cook up a storm to benefit CVAA's "Meals on Wheels" and case-management programs. They'll have just 45 minutes to whip up an appetizer and an entrée, using a secret ingredient.
For 35 bucks, attendees can nibble on hors d'oeuvres, participate in a free wine and beer tasting, and bid in a silent auction. It's not edible, but who wouldn't want a baseball signed by Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek? Organizers will also be hawking a $5 cookbook with recipes by 15 local chefs, including the three competitors. Sweet.
