Citizen Staff Reports 12/16/2013
Virginia Blood Services (VBS), the sole supplier of blood for more than 20 hospitals throughout the state of Virginia, is in need of blood donors to help replenish the local blood supply over the holidays.
A decline in blood donations is typical during the winter months as people become busy with holiday activities and travel. Patient needs remain steady, however, making it important for people to visit a VBS donor site or mobile drive to give blood. > Read more.

A taste trip through Latin America
Estilo charms, with a stylish twist, in Henrico's Near West End
If you're looking for something a little different from the standard, ho-hum restaurant experience, look no further than The Village shopping center. Among the recent success stories to put down roots in The Village is Estilo, created by the owners of the gastropub Toast (featured in a Feb. 21 review in the Citizen), only a few steps away.
Estilo – which translates to style – offers a taste of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, among other countries, and a menu that rotates regularly through the rest of Central and South America. > Read more.
Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The Arcade Providence, a historical building located in downtown Providence, R.I., is opening its doors in the next couple of weeks to a new type of tenancy - micro-apartment living.
"We have a wait list that many times longer than the 48 apartments that we have," said Robin Dionne, a spokesperson for Arcade Providence who says their wait list is so long the building hasn't even held an open house.
A shortage supply of urban housing with changing consumer patterns are driving the demand for micro apartments in expensive, highly populated cities -- such as Providence, R.I., San Francisco, Boston and New York City.
The smallest unit at Arcade Providence is 225 square feet, roughly the size of a 66-passenger school bus, with a price tag starting at $550 per month. None of the building's units, including the larger micro units with two bedrooms, has conventional ovens since all of the units were remodeled under the Rhode Island rooming code, Dionne said.
"There are other cities like San Francisco that have amended their building codes to allow for 220 square feet, which is five square feet smaller than our smallest unit," she said.
San Francisco downsized its building code last year to 220 square feet to allow for the construction of micro unit apartments. Other cities, such as Boston and New York, only allow compact apartments under special exemptions as a new form of experimental urban design.
Gerdling Edlen, a Portland, Ore.-based firm that builds sustainable micro units, constructed compact apartment under an exemption in Boston where it built tiny sized units between 300 and 600 square feet in a special downtown area tied to collaboration and innovation. Earlier this year, the Portland firm opened Factory 63, a micro-unit complex in the heart of Beantown's Innovation District on Melcher Street with studio apartments ranging in size from 375 to 530 square feet, starting at $1,300 per month. The complex was fully leased within several weeks of its opening.
"There's such a high demand and small supply in these markets, it may be relatively more affordable." said Kelly Saito, president of Gerdling Edlen. "For the occupant there is cost saving by the virtue of it having less stuff and buying into the notion of compact living."
Many micro unit tenants are between 18 and 34 years old, who are attracted to living in certain cities like Seattle, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and cities along the East Coast, the Portland developer said.
"The compact unit projects are designed to accommodate people who care more about living in the city than having a chef's kitchen and a large living room," Saito said. "The market is saying if you give me an apartment that's well-designed and functional, then I don't need the extra space."

GMC Sierra 1500 / 2500 / 3500HD 2007-2012, Chrome LED Tail Lights by Spyder®, 1 Pair. Replace your boring monochromatic tail lights with these bolt-on LED Tail Lights, and give your vehicle an exclusive look like nothing else on the road. The interesting detail is just visible beyond the lens, and the bright LEDs will upgrade your lighting and increase your safety. Meets all federal regulations for highway use.
Fitment Notes: These Headlights Come Without Back Up Bulbs. Will Not Fit 3500 Dually 4 Rear Wheels.
If you have a hard time picking out your car or truck from all the like models in the parking lot, maybe its time to give your ride a personal touch; an identity that makes it uniquely yours. These LED Tail Lights from Spyder are a great way to start your vehicle on the path to exclusivity. For a small amount of cash, time and effort these lights will transform the back of your chariot and give it a look thats far from what rolled off the assembly line. The designers at Spyder create their lights for each specific make and model, ensuring that the styling will be much more interesting than what the factory imagined but at the same time complement your vehicles fine lines.
Improved illumination
Multiple LED lights for sparkling illumination that increases driving safety.
Increased visibility
Bright LEDs will make your vehicle more conspicuous.
Direct-fit replacement
Designed to be an exact replacement for your OE lights to save-up your time and effort.
Premium quality
Thoroughly tested to ensure operation and completely sealed to prevent moisture from being trapped inside.
Meets all quality and legal standards
Meets ISO 9000 and 9002 quality standards. Approved by the SAE. Meets DOT regulations and compliant with FMVSS 108.
These lights include the style, superior illumination and added safety that you can only get from LED lights. LED lights are the most advanced form of lighting. Their compact size makes it easy to arrange them in distinctive patterns, as seen on many late model luxury cars. Theyre extremely durable, with an average lifespan of 50,000-75,000 hours, which means theyll probably outlast the rest of your vehicle. The light they produce is much brighter and cleaner, much more attractive than incandescent light. The pattern of the LEDs in these lights is unique, so your ride will command attention wherever you go. But one feature makes LEDs particularly appropriate for tail light/stop light use: LEDs rise to their full intensity approximately 200 milliseconds faster than incandescent bulbs. This may not sound like a lot of time, but it may only be a split second thats needed for the driver behind you to see your stop lights and react to avoid an accident.
Every Spyder tail light undergoes a rigorous testing and quality control process before it leaves the factory. All wiring is tested to make sure the light is completely functional, and the housing is sealed with high quality silicone to ensure that no moisture can become trapped inside. Spyder lights are approved by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and ISO-9000 and ISO-9002 certified. They meet all U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and are compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108. Spyder tail lights are designed to exactly replace your factory lights; however some electrical wiring work may be required. Most lights come with detailed instructions to guide you through the installation. Spyder tail lights are backed by a limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Customers' rating: 4.5 OF 5APPEARANCEEASE OF INSTALLATIONPRICE/VALUEQUALITY(4)APPEARANCEEASE OF INSTALLATIONPRICE/VALUEQUALITYLooks Great but Lacks Safety...| Posted by Daniel G. | 2002 GMC Sierra (Oak Leaf, TX)These lights look fantastic, however, once I tested the brake and signal operation, I was less than impressed. The designers have divided the large group of LEDs between brake light operation and signal light operation. Rather than that entire area illuminating for braking, only half of the area is used. While the lights are bright, there is just not enough area to provide high contrast from the running lights. I commute in dense traffic, so I would prefer the entire group of LEDs to illuminate when I apply the brakes for safety.

A special model with unique features including a '50s era output tube bias tremolo with a "throbbing" pulse.
The tweed Fender Champ amp of the late 1950s is a terrific practice amp, prized by countless pro players for its great sounding, low output, easy-to-record capabilities. Guitarists often turn the amp's volume up high, and manipulate the guitar's controls for a variety of sounds from pristine clean to swampy overdrive. Rock legend Eric Clapton, who recorded some of his biggest hits with a tweed Champ, still uses one today.
Eric requested a special model with a couple of unique features: '50s era output tube bias tremolo, with a more "throbbing" pulse than later Fender tremolo circuits; and a switchable power attenuator to reduce the speaker's output if desired. The Fender Eric Clapton EC Signature Vibro-Champ 5W 1x8 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp is designed and built to EC's exact specifications. This interesting variation of the '57 Champ amp is a must for Clapton fans, tone seekers, and for any player seeking the ultimate in low-powered, top-quality tube performance.

Beneath the floorboards of a sprawling mansion set in a magical, overgrown garden in the suburbs of Tokyo, tiny 14-year-old Arrietty lives with her equally tiny parents. The house is occupied by two old ladies, who are absolutely unaware of the existence of their miniature tenants. Arrietty and her family live by borrowing. Everything they have, they borrow or make from the things they have borrowed. Essentials like gas, water and food. Tables, chairs, cooking utensils. And treats - a sugar cube here, a scrap of material there. But only a little each time, so the ladies do not notice.
A 12-year-old boy, Sho, moves into the mansion while he waits for urgent medical treatment in the city. Arrietty's parents have always warned her - 'never let the humans see you'. Once seen, little people always have to move on. But the adventurous Arrietty doesn't listen, and Sho discovers her. The two begin to confide in each other and, before long, a friendship begins to blossom.

December 13, 2013
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden may still play in the Cleveland Browns' final game.
Coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that Richardson's sprained left ankle and Weeden's sore right shoulder are being evaluated. He did not rule out either playing for the Browns (5-10) against the Steelers (7-8) on Sunday.
Both first-round picks were hurt in a 34-12 loss in Denver. Weeden sustained his injury on a third-quarter sack. Richardson got hurt when Colt McCoy, who replaced Weeden at quarterback, rolled over on the running back's leg after being hit on Cleveland's second-to-last offensive play.
Shurmur also spoke with Josh Cribbs, expressing disappointment with the kick returner's profane tweets to fans after the loss.

Comments about DASH™ 4-Wheeled Carry-On Luggage:
The bag I had lost a wheel and I ran into Brookstone at an airport and purchased the PLUM DASH. I didn't care what I bought, just something that would get me to my destination and back home! The Dash Carry On was perfect, a great color, wheels like a dream and fit in the overhead. I'm almost glad the wheel fell off my carry on or I would have never had a chance to buy this bag. Good choice if you need a sturdy, fashionable carry on. I recommend this bag and the colors are nice too!

I was looking for somewhere To eat around Camden and found Hache through this website.
True to the review, the burgers were fantastic, melting in your mouth. So too, we're the amazing sweet potato fries, they couldn't have been fresher and our service was impeccable (we were there early evening before it good busy). An all round good experience.Nina Thu Nov 15 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Great burgers, shame about the chips which were cooked from frozen not fresh. I wouldn't bother ordering next time (they are extra - £3 ish). Joint the campaign for real chips here ... not really but the assumption that it's OK to serve chips cooked from frozen even in a 'good' restaurant is widespread and really not on.

I had a lunch at Hache yestarday(thursday) was my third time and I am always asking myself, why I am not going more often...the food was marvelous and though the restaurant was busy the service was friendly and quick.

A true little gem of an eatery.Camilla Sat Nov 12 2011 -
I like the atmosphere, the burgers were good but not worth the frustration. I have been there 3 times, each visit was the same- waiting- waiting for the menu, drinks and longer for the food. This would be a great place if the staff could pull it together!
Karen Thu Jun 2 2011Rated as: 2/5 -
THE BEST Burgers this side of the river and the other side for that matter. I don't usually go for burgers but these are simply amazing. Great onion rings and fries too. I have not witnessed any rudeness from the staff as other reviewers have but dont let that put you off. the only downside might be difficulty getting a table especially at weekends, which further proves how good this place is!
Kate Fri Feb 25 2011Rated as: 5/5 -
Agree with the reviewer's comment about the stroppy staff - having made a on-line booking for an early Sunday dinner for 2 (which was confirmed by the restaurant), my partner and I turned up to meet Miss Personality Bypass, who snottily informed us she had no record of the booking and spoke to me like I was a lying half-wit for claiming otherwise! She ungraciously allowed us to take a table (the place was practically empty) but then proceeded to ignore us for 15 minutes without even giving us the menu or taking a drinks order. So we got up and left and went for tapas up the road instead. The search for London's definitive burger continues!

It is great to hear from Joan Norris of The Last Resort in Hanover.
A special person. Rare selflessness. Rich sense of humor.
"I am running a yard sale to raise money for the cats," Joan emailed. "I am asking for donations and announcing sale dates of June 1 and 2. "
"The cats." Joan is an amazing woman. She has run a cat shelter in a carriage house behind her home since1981.
A successful yard sale will help provide excellent care for the next 200 abandoned cats and kittens to come through the doors of The Last Resort, according to Joan.
The sale will be held at 1126 Broadway in Hanover on Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2, beginning each day at 9 a.m.
Items are needed for the sal, and may be dropped off at 1126 Broadway in Hanover from 11 am—5 pm on the following days:
Saturday May 18, Friday May 24, Saturday May 25, andthe day before the sale, Friday, May 31.
Volunteers will be on hand during "intake" days to help you unload items. To bring things at another time, please call Joan at 781 826-9560.
Joan welcomes all types of items for the sale—vintage, gently used, or new—including small pieces of furniture, books and DVDs, neon signs, collectibles and costume jewelry, toys and games, clothing, bikes, tools, sporting equipment,tools, musical instruments, lawn care equipment, and household items like small appliances, glass, cookware, dishes, area rugs, cellphones, lamps, bookcases—in short, anything you think might sell and raise dollars for needy pets. (Please no tires or non-working appliances.)
"Call if you're not sure about an item—we've had everything from a sailboat to couch-size velvet paintings to silver and gold, all donated to bring in dollars to help save cats and kittens in desperate need," Joan said.
I am a staff reporter for The Patriot Ledger who writes a weekly column, A Good Age, about life after 50 every Tuesday on the local pages of the print edition.
In this online Good Age Blog, I share extra anecdotes about the people I meet, readers' e-mails, videos, photos and phone messages, and ideas for what to do in retirement or to prepare for retirement. Sometimes I just like to share what I'm doing that is fun and engaging, often in videos or photos, or my family situations. I may explore my personal reactions to issues of aging and pass along good information for family members and caregivers. This is also a good place to recognize some of the many dedicated people who work in the elder services and geriatric care field.

Down East 2013 ©
Vinalhaven had not seen the likes of it since the massive columns for New York's St. John the Divine rumbled across the island more than a century ago. Four huge blades — the business end of a trio of wind turbines that have since risen above the island — arrived in Carver's Harbor. And a crowd of two hundred residents and vacationers gave them a hero's welcome.
For the barge carrying its 123-foot-long cargo, the voyage from Rockland needed to be planned like a military exercise. Lobstermen had to remove their traps from its path. Many of the two hundred boats in the harbor were temporarily displaced from their moorings. And still the crowd was cheering.
Up close, a wind turbine is of mind-boggling size, and in the course of the next couple of weeks, the process was repeated as more parts were unloaded, then transported the five or so miles to the building site. One heavily laden flatbed truck got stuck navigating a bend, blocking the North Haven road for hours. But no traffic jam developed. North-bound drivers on one side simply exchanged cars with the south-bound drivers on the other, and they all proceeded on their way.
No wonder, then, that everyone involved in Fox Islands Wind (FIW) credits so much of its success to the people of Vinalhaven. Elsewhere in Maine, communities have turned down wind-power developments or have been left unhappy in their wake. That's because towns absorb the environmental, social, and infrastructure costs in exchange for additional property taxes, and the developer reaps the financial benefits. People tend to see it as "making a deal with the Devil," says Island Institute President Philip Conkling, one of the instigators of Fox Islands Wind.
Why has the experience on Vinalhaven been so different? Says Fox Islands Wind Director George Baker, succinctly and without hesitation: "Community ownership, community control, and community benefit."
Baker, a Harvard Business School professor and summer resident of Frenchboro, was planning a year's sabbatical just as Maine's island communities were seeing their electric bills going through the roof. In 2006, rates on Vinalhaven were nearly thirty-two cents per kilowatt-hour, up from the already above-state-average nineteen cents of previous years. For a year-round community of only 1,300, mostly dependent on fishing, it was a big chunk of residents' monthly bills and more than twice what Central Maine Power's mainland customers were paying.
When Baker offered to spend a couple of months looking at the economics of wind power, he had no idea that "an academic exercise" would morph into a very exciting more-than-full-time job. Baker's sabbatical, says Vinalhaven resident Bill Alcorn, turned out to be the key amid "a whole lot of serendipitous circumstances."
Alcorn himself created some of them. He and another island resident, Del Webster, had been publicly exploring ways to lower electric rates. They purchased an abandoned quarry as a potential wind farm site, banking on the day when it might prove viable.
Teasing out any particular thread of events from a community's warp and woof can be arbitrary. At its August 2002 meeting, under "new business," the Vinalhaven Planning Commission took up the topic of "windmills." That year, a test tower to measure wind speeds had been erected at the instigation of the Fox Islands Electric Cooperative (FIEC), which provides electricity to Vinalhaven and North Haven. General manager David Folce had ample reason to dream of the islands becoming Maine's first green-powered community. The twenty-five-year-old submarine cable bringing Vinalhaven's power from the mainland was on its last legs.
By 2005, the $6.8-million cost of a new cable, plus rising world energy prices, began driving the islands' electric rates skywards. Three years-worth of data from the test tower, however, made Vinalhaven's potential for wind power look promising, and the new cable would let the co-op sell any excess energy it generated back to the grid. But the island needed an exemption from Maine's deregulation statute. State Representative Hannah Pingree, a North Haven resident, submitted a bill, and a sympathetic legislature passed it handily.
Pingree also suggested that the Island Institute convene a group of stakeholders from the electricity co-ops to explore future options. As treasurer of the Swan's Island Electric Cooperative, Baker, the business school professor, was one of the stakeholders. After grappling with the problem through several meetings, he decided to get more deeply involved.
For a small island community developing its own wind-power project, Vinalhaven was "the obvious choice," says Baker. Besides the wind studies, "the community was already discussing it." The soaring electric rates had put FIEC under the public microscope. The co-op's transmission and distribution costs, the bulk of each customer's bill, are fixed, so when ratepayers started to conserve, the price per kilowatt-hour got higher still.
Back when the test tower first started generating data, the Planning Commission had foreseen the possible need to deal with wind-power development. With no relevant ordinances in place, debate over a proposed cell-phone tower a few years before had been "very messy," says Commission Chair Gigi Baas. This time, the Commission wanted to get the issues on the table before specifics got decided or debated. From a series of community meetings, the message came loud and clear: We want wind power, but on our terms. "They did not want a big company calling the shots," Baas declares.
The Commission passed the wind-power ordinance in March 2007. With administrative help from the Island Institute, Baker set to work the following July. Having concluded that wind power on Vinalhaven was economically feasible, he spent the next year developing an economic model for the project. When Fox Islands Wind, LLC, was set up as a subsidiary of the co-op, Baker, with a leave-of-absence from Harvard, became its CEO.
So how would the Fox Islands finance a $15 million project? Federal tax credits are available for wind power, but as non-profit-making entities, neither FIEC nor Fox Islands Wind could take advantage of them. "To monetize the credits," says Baker the economist, "you need an investor with taxable profits." (It's called Tax Equity Investment.)
Enter the Hildreth family. Horace Hildreth is a longtime summer resident of Vinalhaven, a life-long conservationist, and, for many years, chair of the Island Institute's board. He had followed Baker's project from the beginning. Hildreth's company, Diversified Communications, Inc., put in $5 million. With a good return on investment through tax credits over the next five years, it was a no-brainer for him. At the end of that time, Diversified will sell its ownership stake back to Fox Islands Wind.
A low interest loan from the USDA's Rural Utilities Services covers the balance of the $15 million. Repaying it at a fixed 4 percent is what electricity production will cost for the next twenty years, the term of the loan. It will shave four cents per kilowatt-hour, or about 15 percent, off island electric rates; transmission and distribution costs remain as they have been. What makes rate-payers so enthusiastic about Fox Islands Wind is that it will stabilize their bills and insulate them from future spikes in energy prices. Self-sufficiency is always an island virtue. When it came to a vote by the co-op's members, the result was 382 to 5, or 99 percent in favor.
As the reality of Maine's first community wind-power project sank in, no one helped overcome the "gut fear" of change as much as Addison Ames. A lobsterman who has been on and off the co-op board over the years, Ames was "a one man PR machine," indefatigable in talking up the project and making sure that the co-op responded to people's concerns, according to Phil Conkling.
Still, not everyone was entirely happy. Noise — " 'a whooshing' sound" and sometimes "a steady 'hum' or 'whine' " according to Fox Islands Wind's Web site — is a concern for a few neighbors. The subsidiary bought out three abutters at a fair price. It reflected an appropriate balance of individual cost and community benefit, says George Baker.
One minor glitch was the town ordinance. With few precedents to guide it, the Planning Commission had drawn from wind developments all over the country, most of which were commercial projects. Now they went back to the drawing board with revisions to allow for a community model.
The environmental impact of wind power has been a notoriously sticky issue in Maine, and the bar on Vinalhaven was higher than usual, says Richard Podolsky, a specialist in bird and wind-power conflicts who led the ecological review required by Maine's DEP and the EPA. Islands are more ecologically sensitive, and, in this case, the project proponents were especially environmentally aware.
The big issues for development projects are wetlands and wildlife, especially birds and bats. Podolsky found no bats, and Alcorn and Webster's old quarry offers little foraging habitat for songbirds. However, it is within range of half a dozen bald eagle territories. "Passage rate" — the key to predicting collisions — was low for most of the year, but rose during the eagles' fall dispersion. Fortunately, the raptors mostly stayed by the water where they could hunt. Podolsky, who has a collision model before the U.S. Patent Office, had to convince both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife that based on his findings, eagles will not be a major issue for Fox Islands Wind. Nonetheless, he will continue to monitor them, and the local ordinance requires regular mortality surveys for a year after the turbines start up.
In May, the town approved the project. Cianbro, the general contractor, began clearing the site, and ground was broken at the end of June. Then the blades started arriving. By Labor Day, the first tower was going up.
Early one Monday morning in mid-September, a crewmember on the Vinalhaven ferry pointed to the white needle now visible well above the tree line. "Pretty, isn't it," she exclaimed to a couple of passengers on deck. "They're putting the blades on today." She pointed. "Look, you can just see the second tower." Sure enough, a nub appeared and disappeared among the trees as the ferry chugged on to Rockland.
Fox Islands Wind is certainly visible. The towers are easily seen from the mainland. But, surprisingly, visibility hasn't been an issue. A golfer looking up from the green at the Samoset told Hannah Pingree, "That's so cool." For island resident Gigi Baas, the view says one thing: "Aren't those Vinalhaven people smart."

We´ve voted in this mess of an economy...I´d just as soon we started paying for it.If the precious middle-class/working-class is so careless as to take a few minutes out of their reality TV watching to re-elect this bozo, then, yes, let them feel the pinch of starting to pay for it.
The House controls the spending. Without their approval, government shuts own. Boehner was owned. He believed the democrat threats.
Schwab says that investors got the best of this deal, but down the road, someone´s going to have to pay. The problem of course is spending, not a lack of revenue and ways to extract it. That is why The Won´s reelection is truly a tragedy for our country.
Good article. Boehner and McConnell did better than expected. Have some patience and hang in there folks. Things are not all black and white, there are a lot of shades of gray. It´s going to be a long road back for us conservatives and we have to stop fighting each other.
Agree with #4 the GOP managed to establish much of the "Bush" Tax Cuts permanent taking this cudgel away from the mendacious lying libtards who have maintained they only benefited the rich for the last 9 years. Plus the estate tax is set at 35% for most estates(40% for very large ones) with a $5 million exemption for single and $10 million for married couples´ estates. Now, finally, folks can make informed decisions in their estate planning and small business owners, farmers and ranchers can hand down their hard earned estates to their children without selling them to pay off Uncle Sam.
Seems to me they miss the point. I do not mind so much paying more taxes if it helped with debt. It does not. All this does is give Obama and corrupt pols more to give away. Stop saying the gov NEEDS more money. It does not. It NEEDS to cut spending. We give well enough to fund a good government. Unfortunately we are funding a corrupt government that no amount of higher taxes can satisfy. That is the main reason I dislike our leaders..they do not tell the public about the debt and spending and corruption. They enable Obama: Boehner/McConnel just made is possible for Obama to pay more to his supporters not rid us of debt. That is the point. Stop supporting those who are no better than Democrats. We need to cut spending. Not pay more.
Well the problem I have is that Republicans are now on record as agreeing with the Democrats that the "rich" need to be taxed at a much higher rate. When was the last time a "poor" person offered you a job? We need more "rich" not less. The real problem is the continuing spending resolutions that the House passes which results in Trillion dollar deficits and the Senate not having to pass a budget. The tax fix is just a band aid on the real problem. A trillion dollars a year and no one in the House has the guts to turn the spigot off. Any proposed spending cuts are so far out in the future they are meaningless. We´ll see how well McConnell and Boehner handle this spending madness. I doubt much will be done.
Thank you #4.Nice that some of you don´t mind paying more taxes. Guess those folks making it from paycheck to paycheck can simply suffer???As for those parroting Rush´s mantra about how the repubs have agreed that the rich need to be taxed more. How about thinking for yourself.Bush tax cuts were preserved for most of the working people. Obama´s tax cuts are gone!!!!
Well, maybe it´s not all gloom but it´ll mean there´s $1,400 I´ll never see this year.
Thank you #9. I´ll need your $1400 a year in about 4 years...
As a business man whom would I rather have leading negotiations? Any fifth grader who knows that saving money now only to add 6 trillion in new debt to be paid later isn´t really a good deal!
Not Boehner! How many Dems did he have to beg from Pelosi to retain his speakership?
Ms. Goldberg, the kool-aid drinkers are taking over.
Nice post #6, I agree completely. Spending is the problem. They have wasted trillions of taxpayers dollars in the past couple of decades.
The country went over the fiscal cliff quite some time ago. The recent deal does little, if anything to change the trajectory of the country´s economy. It is the excess government spending and regulation that´s killing the economy.
I was looking forward to seeing the bottom of the cliff and seeing if we, as a nation, could survive it or would start anew. As it is now, we´ll live with one foot on and one foot over, with no way to pull ourselves back up.Purgatory is not a happy place.
It´s going to be most exciting to see what Boehner and his troops do with the debt ceiling issue. If Barkey makes good on his threat to take over their purse, will they fight back? I´d like to think so but I´m not betting on the House to stand up for the constitution- if they do, it should result in a beginning of a sincere dialogue of impeachment .
"The deficit exists not because the American people are taxed too little but because their government spends too much". Where have you heard that? It is the spending. The real test is if Boehner/McConnell can hold together the caucus against threats of stopping SS checks and Medicare payments that are coming.
I´d prefer to have had us go over the cliff. It is time the rubes see the cost of big government, and Boehner/McConnell once again played Kabuki theatre, then roled over. They then could have passed tax reform, and made zippy and the senate vote against lowering tax rates.As long as the repubs let zippy and the Dems slow roll the destruction, no one will wake up. We need a viable third party.
ROTFLOL. Who are they kidding?
Locking in the rates and fixing the AMT--- partially disarming the neomarxists in charge. Now the focus can only be on spending cuts, which people understand.
How about just for once let´s try NOT compromising. Compromise has landed this country in 17 trillion dollar debt territory, soon to be more.If they had not bent over for Zero, then maybe when EVERYONE´S taxes went up, the majority would have gotten mad enough to do something about it.As it stands now, only 2% of the people, minus imbeciles like Warren Buffett, are "mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore". That´s not enough. This was nothing more than another game of kick the can.
Here´s my question for Human Events -Why aren´t Republican leaders fighting tooth and nail to eradicate Title 26 of the United States Code?Why aren´t Republican leaders fighting tooth and nail to eradicate any spending beyond what balances the Budget?Why aren´t Republican leaders fighting tooth and nail to eradicate this hideous malformation known as earmarks?Why aren´t Republican leaders fighting tooth and nail to eradicate pork?Why aren´t Republican leaders fighting tooth and nail to eradicate Bills which are other than one Law at a time?Eh, Human Events? Eh?Thought so
The problem with this whole premise by Mr. Ryskind is that he appears to believe that Obama is capable of compromise.There is no compromise with Obama, and this was evidenced by Obama´s comments immediately after the House vote was taken. He´ll be going after more, and more, and more.What´s pitiful is that he has four full years in which to do it. If the House falls to the Left in 2014, we are doomed as a country.
It appears that Mr Ryskind has not taken a peek at the National Debt clock recently. or the percentage of the deficit to our GDP. We HAVE to STOP SPENDING.
Boehner could have at least gotten a higher bracket for the top rate -- like $800,000. He just wasn´t courageous enough to hold out a few more weeks. Weaklings should not be in positions of power.

Slacker Radio sees massive redesign, aims for Pandora, Spotify
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Design, Internet, Music, Software
Slacker has been around for a few years as both a free and premium Internet radio service, and now the service has released a new redesign. The old black and gold interface is replaced with a newer, hipper, cleaner look on all platforms, including web, Xbox 360 app, and mobile apps. Slacker had to do something to take some attention away from Rdio, Spotify, Pandora, and the like, and we have to say that the new design makes things easier on the eyes, and thusly, easier to use.
Slacker pricing remains intact. You have the free version, Radio Plus for $3.99 per month, and then Slacker Premium for $9.99 per month. Updated Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 versions are on the way as well.
RIAA Google takedown requests near 10 million
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet, Music
Thanks to Google's Transparency Report, we can see just how many copyright takedown requests it gets, and who issues such requests. The RIAA tops the list with nearly 10 million takedown requests issued. The RIAA issues hundreds of thousands of notices every week in regards to piracy sites, and has topped the most recent monthly requests. This goes to show just how severe the piracy network is, or even perhaps, how futile the RIAA's attempts are at squashing it.

Google plans fix for Google Maps in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Internet, Microsoft, Software
Maps for Windows Phone users is about to get a little better. According to Google, it is planning on fixing the issue preventing Windows Phone users from reaching the Google Maps website through Internet Explorer. The search giant had this to say:
"We periodically test Google Maps compatibility with mobile browsers to make sure we deliver the best experience for those users. In our last test, IE mobile still did not offer a good maps experience with no ability to pan or zoom and perform basic map functionality. As a result, we chose to continue to redirect IE mobile users to Google.com where they could at least make local searches. The Firefox mobile browser did offer a somewhat better user experience and that's why there is no redirect for those users. Recent improvements to IE mobile and Google Maps now deliver a better experience and we are currently working to remove the redirect. We will continue to test Google Maps compatibility with other mobile browsers to ensure the best possible experience for users."
Google had previously stated that the outage was because its mobile Maps site wasn't designed with IE in mind.

David Aris
David belongs to: The Doxford Engine Friends Association
David was born in Sunderland. He served his apprenticeship at North East Marine shipyards as a fitter. After working at sea David became an Assistant Manager at Doxford's ship yard overseeing the installation and testing of Doxford engines.
David was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 8 November 2005. The interview took place at the Interviewee's living room and lasted 1 hour, 36 minutes and 40 seconds.
Accident on sea trials
"There was one disaster, yes, there was one disaster"
There was one disaster, yes, there was one disaster and it was, what was the name of the ship? It was the first engine of a, first of a new class of engine and it came in, it was a tanker, and we came in at night. And the pilot, the ships pilot made a lash up and he, down at the bottom of the mouth of the river, right by J.L. Thompsons there was a row of great big iron buoys, floating buoys, and when the colliers used to come up, if they couldnt get on a berth, they used to tie up there, and there was nothing on the buoys, but this, the pilot ran the ship over the buoys and we were in the engine room, I was on the controls and we heard, from the side of the engine bang bang bang bang and this was these buoys hitting the side of the ship, and then we heard bump bump bump bump bump and this was the buoy hit the propeller.
And we went alongside the Corporation Quay and all the blades were bent over, and of course the owners werent going to have that, so it was nothing to do with Doxfords at all, it was the pilot that was at fault, totally at fault. And the next day we put the ship into dry dock and we put the spare propeller on then ordered another propeller. No doubt, the insurers no doubt paid us, but that was, well, it was one of those things- these things occasionally happen but

Hi: ° Lo:° 7 day
VLADIMIR Mayakovsky - poet, political artist, playwright and leading figure in the Russian Futurist Movement is brought to life at the RST in Stratford in the new year.
Salida Productions and the Mercury Theatre present their critically-acclaimed drama Mayakovsky: The Slanting Rain plays in the Ferguson Room at the RST from January 15 to 19.
Born a forester's son in Tsarist Russia, Mayakovsky became a leading figure in the Bolshevik led revolution and an opponent of the bureaucracy until his suicide in 1930.
Eccentric, unpredictable, with a keen sense of the ridiculous, Mayakovsky was a master showman performing in factories and halls across Russia, commanding audiences of thousands in an epoch of wars and revolutions.
Ed Hughes - whose other credits include the RSC's The Canterbury Tales - is Mayakovsky in the one man play.
Mayakovsky: The Slanting Rain runs alongside Michael Boyd's RSC production of Boris Godunov. Based on the play by the great Russian writer, Alexander Pushkin, this new adaptation by Adrian Mitchell runs in repertoire in the Swan Theatre until March 30.
For tickets and further details visit www.rsc.org.uk or call the box office on 0844 800 1110.

Product Information
Hornady SST Bullets combine proven Hornady performance with a high ballistic coefficient. The sharp, pointed polymer tip creates a fast, flat shooting bullet. The SST features a one-piece core and jacket strengthened in critical areas, to deliver controlled expansion and superior weight retention. Featuring Hornady's trade mark InterLock ring system, this bullet's core and jacket remain locked solid during expansion, creating massive wound channels. This is not loaded ammunition.
