Packers' Finley reeled in for 2 years
Green Bay - Rather than getting caught up in a drawn-out struggle over a long-term contract, the Green Bay Packers and tight end Jermichael Finley agreed on a two-year, $14 million deal Wednesday, assuring that neither side would have to worry about the ramifications of a franchise tag being used.
The two sides were facing the possibility of going to arbitration over the franchise designation and a possible long holdout until a shift in negotiations sparked an agreement that secures the talented tight end to the Packers through 2013. It allows Finley another bite at free agency when the new network contracts go into effect and raise league revenue dramatically. »Read Full Article(200)

Lawyer for ex-Walker aide says charges should be dismissed
Four felony misconduct in office charges against Kelly Rindfleisch - a top aide to Gov. Scott Walker during his final year as Milwaukee County executive - should be dismissed because the accusations rely on testimony she gave a decade ago in the state Capitol caucus scandal, Rindfleisch's lawyer said Wednesday.
That earlier testimony was given under cloak of immunity, and using it to convict her on new charges of doing campaign work at the courthouse would be improper, said Franklyn Gimbel, Rindfleisch's attorney. »Read Full Article(124)

Mequon using TIFs for more redevelopment
Mequon - Hoping to spur redevelopment in its commercial corridor along North Port Washington Road, the Common Council on Tuesday approved two rehabilitation and conservation tax-incremental finance districts.
TIF allows municipalities to create districts for redevelopment. Taxing bodies within the district agree to forgo taxes that are greater than those in place at the time of the district's creation, allowing that money to be used toward the cost of development instead. Those taxes are called the tax increment and, in the case of the pay-as-you-go districts, will be used as incentives for developers and for any public project costs. »Read Full Article(6)

Since I started to trip, Hostelworld always helped me to find a place to stay and enjoy. Almost 2 years using this site, I've never need another one to find what I want. For me is perfect.
Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. They have buget tours, Expecially the Tibet tour.
Information displayed in the right logical place, it guides you through and let you book easily
The site is easy to use. Price of hostel can be changed to any currency so you don't have to do the conversion. Also, they have chat assist which can answer your inquiries before booking. They have registered hostels all over the world at very low cost. No backpacker wants to pay for a room where he will just sleep at. Glad there's Hostelworld.
I was trapped at least 4 times in terrible hostels, because each of them has good score on hostelworld.com, may even higher than 8.5!
Hostelworld should get rid of fake review to avoid this, otherwise it's not a trustable website.
We have visited 73 counties world wide, and have used Hostelworld in all of them!! Have never had a problem, and we will continue to utilize their excellent services!!
When I am planning a trip, hostelworld.com is always my first advice and in 95% I book via hostelworld. I was always satisfied - at the site itself everything worked out perfectly.
The service is pretty good. I'm using hostelworld since a few years to find and book hostel all around the world and it's working quite well.
Highly suggested!
Its easy and Quick. Good overwives and secure pay system
The site is very user friendly with complete information that would definitely help the users to choose which hostel they are going to check-in. Comments and Reviews were provided in the site which is a good help for the users. Easy transaction for the payment is also a good thing.
Thanks to Hostelworld and more power to the team!
Great site - gives you all the info you need including reviews, pics etc. Only problem is that you pay a deposit on the hostelworld site but often this isn't recognised by the hostel that you visit so you don't get this deducted from your bill.... I'm guessing this is a general problem rather than one specific to hostelworld.
Hostelworld.com has a huge database a great system to find the best choice.
travelling in more than 10 countries with hostelworld, and I had never problems, not with reservations, payment via credit card etc.,
the reservation confirmation I got in a couple of minutes and the hostel turned every time out to meet the excpectations according to the reviews and described facilities
For the price, the hostel was fine. The showers were small and annoying to operate. Food regularly disappeared from the refrigerator, I felt like this was a pretty average hostel. The crowd was the pretty standard mix of long term Australians and Canadians. And since it was Thanksgiving weekend, there were also a number of American undergrads. Some cool people, and some that fit annoying tourist stereotypes. I would say I had a great time in Barcelona, and the free bar crawl every night was nice. But overall, I think that you could do better than this hostel. Not that it is a bad hostel, but it is just nothing special.
It's a very interactive and trustable (at least until now, haha :)) website (hostelworld.com), that allows you exploring what you need about affordable rate of hostels around the world, I would recommend this website to all my friends and relatives.
I turn to Hostelworld first when deciding a destination to travel to. It's easy to use and the reviews are very helpful. I've booked multiple hostels on it.
Booking by hostelworld is my first choice, easy and reliable with variety of accommodations around the world.
I have used Hostelworld.com for many years now and would recommend anyone to use it when booking a hostel. It gives you a good idea of what types of accomodation are available and for what price. Reading peoples reviews are always useful and most the time pretty acurate. A lot of backpackers tend to turn up in a city and go to the first hostel they find or trek around looking for one. This websire ensures that you don't jut end up in a hostel that will rip you off and saves you trekking round to find a decent place!
we had a two night stay and found the hostel to ideal for are needs the english girl was very helpfull i think her name was beth
Since retiring from teaching I've been spending winters traveling through Latin America. Using Hostelworld to make reservations has provided me with a fast, convenient way to assure myself that I'll have a place to stay when I arrive at my destination. Hosteling is so much more interesting than staying in a hotel and using Hostelworld enhances my travel experiences.
I have just booked my latest traveling accommodation with Hostelworld. Simple to browse and easy to book. I am sure you won't regret using this website to choose from the huge number of hostels available around the world.
It is a great web site, they get bettee every year. The information about the hostels is organized and very simple to see. I will recomend this web site again,
To the people that use this site I recommend to watch the people's commentarys.
Hostelworld is so easy to use and i have had no problems.
I've been using this site a lot for my trips. It is very help-full and easy.
Plus it has the benefit of reading reviews.
Easy to use website, all questions answered and regular updates/reminders for your stay. Thanks :-)
What can I say and where do I start...
I picked St. Christopher's at the Winston at random, out of a list of Hostels in Amsterdam that were in the vicinity of Dam square. I had no real expectations, only hope that it wouldn't be too bad.
I couldn't put into words how pleasantly surprised I was. The staff was polite, sincere and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, the beds were the most comfortable hostel beds I've ever slept on, the food was great, and all in all, I felt lucky and fortunate to have picked the Winston.
So much so, actually, that I can guarantee that I will be staying there exclusively from now on, every time I come to Amsterdam.
I have booked many hostels through the website since 2007 and I have never had one single problem. My booking was always there at the reception and my room ready for my stay. I also love that the website doesn't make us pay for the full price with our credit cards for reservation since I definitely prefer paying cash upon my arrival. Anyway, I always use Hostelworld.com when traveling!
When you choose the room you don't see photo of the room
Including the ability to locate the places on a map is very important, but sometimes not accurate, so I would recommend making that function very efficient and accessible.
Otherwise, extremely reliable and gives most of the information I ever need to find acommodation.
Duża i róznorodna baza noclegowa, oferty na każdą kieszeń, proste formalności.
Every time I came to Seoul, I will choose Hongdae as where I should stay because of the cheap price and how its alive 24/7 and this guesthouse is simply in the middle of the area that gave me great access to everything, dont really spent much time at the guesthouse but the owner are very friendly and the place are clean and comfy. But still the great point of this guesthouse is the location ^^
easy to use and to book any hostel in any country in the world in a few minutes ...
Hostelworld is one of the most trusted internet site for me as I've booked accommodation through it 5 times already and never encounter any big issue (once a small one but later solved but a staff through chat). I'm a person who doesn't like to do any transaction through internet because you will never know whether the site will cheat you, right!? Hostelworld impressed me on how reliable it is and if I bump in to any doubt, there's a chat section where I can talk to a staff who was quite helpful (I mean it could have been more helpful if they have a real office where I can go and speak to a person). The only thing I'd like Hostelworld to improve is when I want to book an accommodation where I can book the same place for alternative nights, for example, let's say I go to Japan for 5 days but I want to stay in Tokyo on 1st and 2nd night and want to return to the same place on the last night. Now, if I want to do this, I'll have to make 2 bookings and I have to pay $2 service charge twice. It's not a lot of money but it's kind of a waste, isn't it? If Hostelworld can develop this would be so amazing and I'd definitely give 5 stars to this site.
I have been traveling in Europe for three months and have used Hostelworld almost exclusively in order to find hostels, B & Bs, hotelsm and even an apartment. The website is very easy to use and the descriptions of the hostels are dead on. I appreciate the map view, so that I can compare for myself the distance from the metro or train station and see what type of street it's on, etc. Their cancellation policy is generous and the booking fee is minimal, and in the off season they usually don't charge a fee.
My trip would be so much harder without a site like this one.
Thanks Hostelworld!!
Greate site to book your hostels. Reliable and nice interface!
The service is great. You get to choose hostels based on things that matter to you, such as price, type of accommodations, location, it really is great.

Secret of The missing sock.
Many years ago my washing machine stopped working. Being a self educated mechanical genus, I decided to fix it myself. I turn the machine on its side and started to work on it. I spent about a day and a half and just couldn't figure out what the problem was. So finally, I called the repair guy. When he saw the machine on its side, he smiled, "Did you do that? I replied, "a yeah." He retorted, "That was not a good idea." Then he asked me to help him set the machine back on it's feet. He pointed to a puddle of oil like liquid on the floor. "That's the transmission fluid, he smiled. See when you turn the machine on its side, it leaks out of the breather hole, so I'm afraid I can't fix this for you, buddy, the machine is shot." "Well can't we just put more transmission fluid in, I smiled?" "It's a sealed transmission and breather hole is tiny, my friend. "Well can't somebody fix it? "Well you could send it back to factory; it would probably only cost 7 or 8 hundred bucks. Of course, that might not make a lot of sense considering it's a five year old machine that only cost 300 bucks new." "So I guess I should buy a new machine?" "I would say so, he smiled" "Well, what do I owe ya, I asked. He braced and a "here we go look" creeped up on his face..."60.00 bucks…30 for the time coming out here and 30 for the time going back." He seemed to be expecting an argument. But instead, I just smiled, "Thanks and handed him the sixty bucks. I guess he appreciated me not giving him a hard time, so he smiled, "You know what, let me take a look at something." He bent down and disconnected the drain hose. Then he pulled a black sock out of the machine. "That was your initial problem, he smiled. Then he let me in on one of the secrets of the ages. He said, "Ya know, 95 per cent of the time it' a sock stuck in the pump. Ya see socks every once in a while creep up the walls of the tank during the spin cycle. They go over the edge and most of the time go right out the drain into the sewer and out to sea. However, every once in a while they get stuck in the pump on the way out. So that's first place you look, when there's a problem."
I thanked him for the tip and ended up buying a new machine. Low and behold, a year later, the new machine stopped. The first thing I did was to disconnect the drain hose, and there he was, the fugitive caught in the act of escape.
So do not worry and morn the lost of that once faithful sock, the one that got away. I assure you, it's on a beach somewhere taking in the sun with it's mates.

All week, WUWM has been digging into the complexities of the skills gap.Our journalists have gathered the perspectives employers hungry to hire AND of workers eager to land good paying jobs.Environmental Reporter Susan Bence sets out to learn if "skills gap" applies to local green industry.
As we've been reporting this week, Wisconsin employers say they have plenty of decent-paying jobs open, but cannot find qualified workers. And the skills gap or shortage is expected to grow, as experienced baby-boomers retire. WUWM's Erin Toner has Thursday's installment of our series, Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted. She observed programs successfully pumping skilled job applicants into the pipeline. Yet she learned, that what's working – is also what's missing.
The presidential election is less than a week away, and foreign policy: America's place, and role, in the world, will be a key part of the job for whichever administration takes office in January.
Businesses in the Milwaukee area say there are not enough skilled workers to fill available jobs.We heard about that frustration Tuesday when WUWM's LaToya Dennis spoke with local managers. Today, in our Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted series, we learn how people seeking jobs are striving to acquire the skills needed.
The challenges and efforts to bridge the employment gap among workers generally are at the lower end of the skills spectrum. But as we've heard during our series this week, employers are reporting the greatest degree of challenge in filling jobs requiring highly specialized skills. Jobs requiring engineering, chemistry, biology, or computer science skills often can't be filled with on-the-job or certificate level training.

Blizzard explains, apologizes for PVP Season 10 gear debacle
In a rare moment of humility, Blizzard has taken to the official forums to address the pair of what the company is calling "mistakes." Specifically, Community Manager Zarhym (who looks adorable when posed next to a lifesized wyvern) had this to say:
The full post, which is available after the break, gives a pretty good summary of the facts behind the case, and perhaps more importantly, what Blizzard intended to happen for the start of this and subsequent new arena seasons. In short: After an arena season ends, that season's PVP tier, previously available only via spending conquest points, will be available for purchase with honor points to give players one last opportunity to spend excess HP before the impending conquest-to-honor conversion (essentially, a one-week-only sale). When a new season begins, the old, sale-priced PVP tier will be taken off the market in lieu of new, better, current season gear.

The story of Fort Niagara is the story of a struggle for a continent. For more than 150 years, four nations vied to control this strategic point at the mouth of the Niagara River, and thus the critical water artery it protected. The fort is not only unique for its history, but for its longevity. Today, visitors can explore one of North America's largest collections of original 18th-century military architecture -- reminders of the fort's important past.

Pakistan were bowled out for 169 after starting the day on a relatively comfortable 100 for three. They lost their last six wickets for 22 runs on either side of lunch. At one stage four wickets fell in 13 balls, including three off successive balls.
The collapse was engineered by Robin Peterson and Vernon Philander, who took three wickets each before Dale Steyn finished off the Pakistan innings.
Peterson finished with three for 73 and Philander took four for 40. Saeed Ajmal took four for 51 in South Africa's run chase to finish with match figures of ten for 147.
Set to make 182 to win, South Africa lost Alviro Petersen early. Hashim Amla kept his cool and built small partnerships with Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers to help Proteas to their sixth consecutive series win.
Brief scoresPakistan 338 and 169 (A Ali 65, Philander 4/40. South Africa 336 and 182/6 (H Amla 58, S Ajmal 4/51).

is there still no way to watch youtube videos on the PS Vita. Now i know theres no support for flash on this correct? still at least an app that makes it support the site... I bought it the day it came out, been busy with school so i haven't really used it much or explored much on it... So far i think Sony could have done much more. I think it could become better if apps are released that can make it more useful.... Youtube, Skype, Splashtop ... Right now to me its just an expensive replacement to the PSP that i have not used almost at all. Still have to rely on my iPhone for things the PS Vita, at this point in time, should be able to do

no youtube does'nt work and never will
on 08-04-2012 09:21 AM
YouTube doesn't work, however saying it NEVER will is a very bold claim. We do not know if Sony will release a YouTube app or not, or even if they will eventually implement flash and/or HTML5 video tags in the web browser.
There is really no good reason not to at LEAST implement HTML5 in the browser, as the relevant video codec is already implemented in the Vita so no further licensing fees should be necessary.

bob2356 2 9:32am Sat 21 Jul 2012 Share Quote Permalink Like (1) Dislike (1) Yup. No big surprise there.
It would have a chilling effect on free speech because then contributors could be targeted for harassment by the IRS & Labor Department on Obama's orders, which has already happened with known Romney contributors.
Obey The Tripods
That would be the same contributor (Frank Vandersloop) who is co chairman of Romneys campaign finance in 2008 and 2012?
http://may-chang.com/?p=4575Seems that Mr. Vandersloop knows more than a little about targets of harassment, since he has initiated so much harassment litigation of his own. He has also had multiple legal problems with his business.
No matter what strassel says in the wsj, no one gets irs and dept of labor audits in a month even if the president were to order it personally. Vandersloop may be the target of the Democratic party, but it's because he's a big time player in the national political scene with a long history of playing hardball. Not because some web site says he contributed to Romney's campaign. That's just bullshit.
Try again.
CaptainShuddup 3 12:56pm Sat 21 Jul 2012 Share Quote Permalink Like (1) Dislike (3) Well I sure wish they would start spending all of this money they supposedly already have. This is more a story about a fraud and a scam on a scale in which America has ever seen.
Sure they can raise a but load of money, but are they really spending it? -
bob2356 4 1:47pm Sat 21 Jul 2012 Share Quote Permalink Like (2) Dislike (1) bob2356 says
He has also had multiple legal problems with his business.
Yeah, those problems are called "being a supporter of Romney and being damn good at raising money for Romney"
Melalecuca made settlements with Michigan, Idaho, and the FDA long before he became involved with Romney. Look up melaleuca on the FDA website 1997. Facts don't concern you much do they?
Nice misdirection.
Now make an effort to focus and address my point. Vandersloop has a major active involvement in the Republican party and both Romney campaigns. IF, big IF, he is being targeted for political reasons (which I don't know and neither do you) it wasn't because he was identified as a as someone who simply contributed to a republican campaign. It's because he has been a very outspoken and aggressive political player for a long time who has made lots of enemies.
So your assertion vandersloop is the poster boy for what would happen if people making huge contributions in secret were actually made public is pure bullshit. He's a big boy playing hardball in the political arena, not an innocent person who just happened to write a check to someone's campaign.
Try again.

Brave Baker, Dough Master: DIY Crusty Bread
March 15, 2013 - 10:25am | by amandaBread, cheese and wine—could there be any other perfect trinity for relaxing after work and rendezvousing with friends?
This DIY series is meandering a little off the beaten path and spotlighting cheese accompaniments, beginning with warm, wholesome, crusty bread.
But instead of fantasizing about munching on bread and cheese with a tall glass of wine, people tend to take on the frightened façade of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" when they hear "bread baking." Yeast just has that effect on even the bravest little baker. Maybe it's that scene from I Love Lucy we can't get out of our heads, the one where our beloved and kooky red-haired heroine keeps adding flour to a ball of dough, and after baking it in the oven, out pops a ballpark-long sub.

Comments about Excalibur 1028501 Iron Man RC Extreme Hero:
Bought the product as a gift but was so excited I decided to keep it for myself. It is great! I brought it to the Eagles tailgating this weekend and it was almost as popular as our win over Washington. Almost. People gathered and everyone wanted a turn. The control and distance is amazing. Best RC plane I've ever owned.

Cool toy
By Mom of teens
from Waldwick NJ
About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Stay at Home Parent
Bought this for our teenage son. He loves it and it works well. There are specific instructions you can watch online, which is helpful. Not hard to operate. It charges quickly. The only downfall is you have to goto a park or field ( a very open area). To use it. It goes very high up and far Can not be used in a backyard even if its large. So every time he wants to use it we have to o to the park. Other than that the product does what it says
Outstanding Flyer, Great for beginners!
By HarryMc
from Tuscaloosa, AL
About Me Grandparent
This is a great flyer! Excellent for beginners! Easy to fly! We've been getting about 8 minutes a flight. Excellent range, we've flown out over 300 feet with no loss of control. This model looks great in the air and will draw a crowd where ever you fly it! Make sure to fly in a open grass field. My grandkids are gonna love this flying superhero!

Best RC Plane Ever
By RCRampage
from Philadelphia, PA
I am somewhat of an RC plane super fan and this is the best I've ever seen. First of all it looks great. It's Iron Man flying thru the sky. Second it performs great. Turns and climbs with ease. And the 2.4 GHz controller works for like 400 feet. My son and I were flying it in the park and we quickly had a crowed watching with lots of ooohs and ahhhs. Highly recommended

By co13999

Brought this toy for my 11 year old son.The concept of a flying superhero, WOW!The only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 star is it's cost.
Fun - durable - exciting
By Mom with 3 kiddos
from Greenville, SC
Incredible toy. All the kids in the park started acting like they were flying too!We watched the tutorial, which helped so much.www.rcextremehero.com My 8, 10 and 12 year olds thought this RC Iron Man was so cool.
