Blue - 9/13/2012 I have started to return to "Blue" in the arts district to hear music. Everything is just slightly overpriced, but the quality of music, lack of cover charge, and atmosphere make up for it. I have never gone in there and been disappointed with the offerings; I am only surprised so few people show up for the opening act; they are so often better or on the same level with the final band.[more...]
Downtown Has Gone Down - 3/5/2012 During the past five years, the downtown area has become spoiled by the influx of immigrants who basically use the overly generous welfare system and confuse the rest of the populace because they do not speak English. Some have also caused the increasing crime rate in Portland. For me, the city has lost its charm and down home feel that it once possessed in abundance. [more...]
Question for Portland Residents - 3/1/2012 I was surprised to see that Portland, ME was just ranked one of the two best cities in the nation for eligible single women in the March 2012 Men's Health magazine. Is there any truth to that? I am in my late 30's and single and would like to know if there is a decent dating scene in Portland. Thanks. [more...]
If your new/moving to Portland - 8/14/2011 When I decided to move to Portland I was living in Arizona. I searched countless Craigslist ads and found tons of afforable apartments to rent! My question was where in Portland did I want to live? I couldn't find anyone who would describe the neighborhoods to me. So, here is my attempt. The 4 'neighborhoods' - The East end, The West end, Park side, and Bayside. The East and West ends are decidedly nicer than Park side and Bayside. That being said Park side and Bayside are not bad. Portland's population is very 'colorful' which I think lends its self to the charm of the city. Others would disagree. I have lived in both the East and West end and perfer the West end to the East. I can't pin point why, but there is a young hip feeling about the West end that attracts me. These are just opinions, but non the less, I hope they are helpful. [more...]
Don't stay too long-- Can't wait to move! - 12/27/2009 Positives: Really beautiful scenery, great seafood, close to Boston/Montreal. Downtown area is nice with plenty of historic buildings and quaint shops. Negatives: Unless you are 70 years old or more, there are barely any young people! Tons of senior citizens. Also, many of the people in town look homeless and lots of them just stand out on the street staring at you. There are also plenty of gays here, so unless you feel comfortable in that setting, I would suggest living somewhere else. Fairly large African immigrant population mixed with New England whites. Strange feel to town and people don't mix together much. Job market is pretty much non existant so if you are of working age, good luck finding good employment. Winter weather is terrible, VERY cold, lots of wind and snow. Conclusion: Nice vacation spot especially in summer. Lousy place to live year round.[more...]
Charm, quite and safe - 9/19/2009 Although in the last months the incidents of crimes had increased because of the influx of many of the out of state visitors, but still Portalnd, Maine remains one of the most safe small cities (only 65,000 population). Also it is enviromental friendly, and the scenary of the Casco Bay on the North/Eastern Atlantic flank with its many islands which were once refuge to the Pirates are quiet and serene.[more...]
Portland seems to have a lot to offer - I have one - 5/15/2009 Is there a train you can take to Boston and how is it in terms of safety, comfort, time, reliability, expense, etc.[more...]
Portland seems to have a lot to offer - I have que - 5/15/2009 Low crime, close to the ocean, 2 hour drive to Boston for a weekend in the city at Hotwire discounted hotel rates, short drive to NB or Nova Scotia. I could see living there. I currently live in the other Portland, on the left coast. I like it too, but your lower crime rates are enticing. I have a few questions. Do the biting black flies and mosquitos make it unpleasant to be outdoors in the forest? How is traffic safety there? Maine state-wide traffic fatality stats seem not quite up to par. Some complain about the cost of groceries and such, yet you have a walmart supercenter 14 miles away. Do any of you go there weekly to buy your stuff? Most importantly, is it really difficult for 50 somethings to move there from far away and make friends?[more...]
Think twice - 4/23/2009 There are many great things about Maine and the City of Portland; but the local culture is something that makes it very challenging for those of us "from away" as they call us. I came here several times before moving here and thought it was fantastic and people were so friendly and I would have so many friends here. Six years later I still spend 99% of my time alone and have not been able to bond with any of the natives yet work with 300 people. They don't want to know anything about you. Hard to fathom since that is not the facade they put forth sounding so friendly. I am finally giving up trying to make a life here and am leaving with what I came with....friends in other places. I am leaving as soon as I can find a comparable job. Before moving here, make sure you find others "from away" and ask about their experience here. It is great if you have a reclusive personality. If you make a mistake and move here, find others also "from away" because that is the only way to survive the winters here. PS - If you are single, DO NOT move here![more...]
amazing place, no opportunity - 4/13/2009 Portland, Maine is absolutely gorgeous, safe, a great place to raise kids, although the taxes are extremely high, and there isn't much opportunity.[more...]
City with a small town feel - 11/26/2008 Portland Maine is a great place to live if you can handle the slow pace of change. The city now has a Whole Grocers...which was was the most exciting thing to come to town in a few years. After living in the city for 4 years, I felt I had done and seen everything there is to do. However, the city does have a nice safe feel to it. Even the downtown area, which has its share of late night bars & clubs, is pretty safe to walk at any hour. As a female, I have never felt unsafe in Portland. If you are a dog lover, Portland is a great place to live. There is a great walking path along the harbor as well as a beaches that allows dogs, and many shops in the down town area are dog friendly. Overall the city has a very laid back feel. The people are genuine and its easy to strike up a conversation with strangers. As a 30 something, married with no kids, its a very easy place to live. But young, single or those who bore easily, may enjoy Portland as a weekend trip but not as a final destination.[more...]
Re : John's hateful post - 10/25/2008 Re ; John's Post "hating dogs" ...animals appreciate everything you do for them- unlike "people"...and if you hate dogs- it means that you're a horrible person, and don't derserve to have a pet. If I had my choice of saving your life and the life of an animal...I'd pick the animal. You don't deserve to breathe.[more...]
Taxes - 5/3/2008 While Portland has some positives the negatives far outweigh any positive. Try to find a decent place to live at a reasonable price. You won't. Finding a place at all at any price is challenging. Utility costs are sky high and the people seem eager to vote for every new tax and fee increase possible. You have vehicle inspection fees yearly in addition to your registration renewal and the people there want to add a vehicle emissions inspection fee similar to California's even though air quality is not an issue. The people constantly brag about their "common sense" but picked a police chief who when asked "How would you deal with the problem of people running red lights?" had no answer. In fact out of about 30 people polled only 1 person had an intelligent answer. Some of the other "common sense" answers included taking away their cell phone and doughnut privileges! In short the state is run and supported by people who have no common sense and the state itself has one of the highest rates of taxation in the country.[more...]
things to love and hate - 3/11/2008 Like many, we came from the Boston area thinking it would be cheaper. It is not. The population is unhealthy and the business climate unfavorable which has driven healthcare costs through the roof (i.e., little to no competition for health insurance). Mainers have slowly driven up their taxes making them obscenely high. Everyone complains about it and yet no one vote anyone out of office for it. In fact, the headlines decry worry and fear if you try to cut programs. We have some of the highest social spending in the nation and terrible govt inefficiency. And there seems to be no economic plan to bring businesses in. We are rolling the dice on the "vacationland" concept. Well, the tourism industry does not require much of an education and it doesn't pay well. It is not an asset to hang your hat on. It's very frustrating because Portland is beautiful. It has a fairly cosmopolitan scene. The architecture and independent shops are great. Lots of good restaurants. There are many outdoor activities. We send our kids to a private school, but that's a personal decision. The public schools seem good. Crime is relatively low. But there are no jobs here, high taxes, and no public will to do anything about it. Oh, and you have to be OK with long winters...[more...]
NYC born and raised - 1/23/2008 ... And I just love this place. And, no, I didn't come here with a NY job, nor NY money in my pocket. I did come with a family and got a professional job, however. We're doing all right, and I highly doubt I could say the same if we were back in the suburbs of the big town. You want to talk expensive? Taxes? We have it so good here by comparison. Which leads me to another point.. Try this: open up Google Maps or some such in another window and drift down the East Coast with your cursor. Type in coastal cities on this site and look at the comments. As you head south of here, the money and population density becomes more and more of an issue with posters. Once you hit the South, crime and heat come into play. Then try the Northwest, like Seattle and Portland, Oregon. Folks were generally upset about money as a rule, but climate and crime are big woes (the lack of sun seemed to really depress a lot of posters there). In affordable regions like Utah, for instance, stranger issues arise like closed communities due to religious practices and such. I read also about the influx of Californians and their arrival driving up real estate, goods & services, etc. My point in this exercise is to illustrate that it is all rather relative. You have to trade one (or two) inconveniences about a place for the positive benefits. Of course, one has to be realistic. You can't live normally in a high crime area if you have a family. You can't live in an extreme climate if you're elderly or infirm. You can't live in a highbrow city if you have no job or job skills that will afford you the cost of living. But here in Portland, we trade a warmer climate and higher cost of living for good schools, beautiful surroundings, safety, green space, an urban trails system, an amazing array of places to eat (per capita, it's impressive!), the convenience of nearby shopping, very little congestion, a steady economy... I could go on with little details, but you get the idea. I came from, and still visit the NYC area frequently, and, though that city is dear to my heart, I'm glad I live here. Come visit and take this test: Drive to the east end of the city to the Eastern Promenade park. Get out (doesn't matter what time of year it is, honestly) and look across Casco Bay. Ask yourself, "Is there any city left in this country that has this kind of view right in town?" And, if you can come up with one, I'll bet anything that you can't get a 3 BR cape for under 250K in that city. You can here, there's one that just sold 'round the corner from my house. Honestly, there's no cities like Portland left on the East Coast, or maybe anywhere. [more...]
Glad to be back in Maine - 10/7/2007 I lived in Portland, ME for 8 years before leaving to get my Master's in NY. I loved it then and I love it again, having recently returned. Portland is a very livable city with good people and vibrant downtown. Maine is a wonderful state whether you are in Portland or a small rural town---but, Portland has jobs, culture, recreation, ocean, and a great climate (providing you can handle the cold in January). It is also a dog friendly town (e.g. dog beach, 7 acre fenced in dog park with trees and hiking trails, etc., great doggie day care). [more...]
Born and raised - 8/1/2006 The number one thing i love about portland is the water quality. The tap water is like Poland Spring bottled water. Portland is one of those cities where it has a big city feel in that there is lots of stuff to do and visit but there isnt much for crime. I feel completely comfortable leaving a car unlocked etc without anything happening to it, dispite that its a busling city. From portland you can drive 20-30 minutes to a great swimming/beach spot whether its a lake or ocean. It has many museums/historic buildings, camping/ hiking locations malls/shopping plazas and generally has lots to do if your open minded. WIthin a few hours is also some great skiing/snowboarding places also. However i never got into them. The people are great and tend to be friendly overall.[more...]
The usual......... - 7/6/2006 Sounds like most of the rest of the decent places left to live in the U.S., priced out of site by "white flight" to the suburbs from the city by the wealthy, the loss of the middle class, illegals sucking up all the gov't benefits while keeping wages artificially low while they breed like flies, and a loss of the quality of life for the majority of legal, working class Americans. Goodbye beautiful country that I used to know...........[more...]
Working in Portland, living in Scarborough - 5/5/2006 Portland is a wonderful little city. There is a lot of art and culture there. I live in Scarborough, about 15 minutes south, and I am moving away. So, here is my assessment: Good: good schools, beautiful summers, wonderful architecture, art and culture in Portland, great restaurants, good symphony, fantastic minor league baseball (Red Sox farm team), Acadia National Park is worth weeks of time. Bad: Living in Scarborough, there are monster mosquitos. Count on winter from November through April. That is 6 months. In January, there is very little light because the days are so short, and I find that hard to live with. I don't mind the cold, but it is the dark that is difficult. We have the highest taxes and the lowest discretionary income in the nation. Housing costs have been very high, and my wife and I have had to buy a house on a busy road just to afford something decent. Property taxes in Portland are a lot higher than they are in Scarborough. There has been a massive influx of Bostonians over the past 10 years that I have lived here. I teach at a private school, and the high-powered population spurs a frenetic pace that is uncharacteristic of the more northern parts of Maine. Portland is no longer Maine, but northern Massachusetts. This is a great place to live for 5 months out of the year if you are wealthy.[more...]

How's 2012 Going, So Far?
Today, most people are ending their second week of New Year's Resolutions and evaluating their progress. And this is the point at which many people realize that they may have made some pretty unrealistic goals for themselves. Well, not to be out-done, this is also the point in the year when we like to present our own goals for 2012. We have thousands, but, to save everyone time, we whittled it down to 5.
Our Top 5 Social Media Goals for 2012:
1. Clean Up Our Desktops They say that cleanliness is somehow related to godliness, and we think that's a pretty good standard. So, we want to approach godliness by straightening out the documents and toys that cover both our computer desktops as well as the physical workspaces that surround our machines. Let's revisit the world of file folder creation and, surely, some of this stuff can go in the trash. We may not hit the goal of godliness, but increased productivity would be fine, too.
2. Make Social Part of Our DNA We understand the power of social media as a separate communication channel for a brand's customers. Now, let's integrate social media into our projects, strategies and campaigns from the beginning so that interaction and dialogue are central to our clients' long-term business goals.
3. Social is NOT a synonym for Facebook We've learned there's more to social media than Facebook and even Twitter. Let's introduce our clients to the broader spectrum of social media and the audiences that can be reached through great tools like Flickr, Foursquare, Ustream, Groupon, Tout, Viddy, Instagram, Tumblr, Slideshare, Reddit and let us not forget our old friend, the blog.
4. Use More Video We learned the power of YouTube in 2011:
- 3rd most visited site in the world, 2nd largest search engine
- 140 million+ unique U.S. visitors per month
- Over 3 billion videos viewed each day
Campaigns like Orabrush and Cheapster have shown that YouTube can actually be the centerpiece of an ad strategy. Video is also the easiest format to spread a message quickly through social media networks. Plus, it's fun.
5. Remember the real meaning of "Social" The agency is filled with people, most of our clients live near one of our offices, and EVERYONE has a cell phone. Let's take a little more time and reduce the amount of emails we're sending to each other by doing more "real-time interfacing." We also want to focus more on events during and around the workday where we can talk to the great people we work with that remind us why we chose agency life over, say, working in a toll booth.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
A Fayetteville man is accused of firing into a crowd that gathered to watch a dispute on Keats Place on Friday and wounding three people, authorities said.
Adam Bradley Scott Golden, 18, of the 2600 block of Wingate Road, is charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, Cumberland County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debbie Tanna said.
Two women who were in town for a funeral approached two teens outside a convenience store at Cumberland Road and Ireland Drive about 11:30 p.m. Friday, Tanna said.
"They (the women) were looking for marijuana and gave them (the teens) $100," Tanna said.
The men, who told the women they did not have any drugs, took the money and then ran across the street into the Woodlea neighborhood, Tanna said.
The women, who were in a vehicle, followed them to a residence on Keats Place, Tanna said.
"They said they wanted their money back, but the guys wouldn't give it to them," she said.
As they began arguing, a crowd gathered around them, Tanna said. Golden is accused of then firing three shots into the crowd and wounding three people, including the two women.
The women, who were not identified, had superficial wounds, Tanna said. They were not charged with a crime and have returned home.
The third person, who suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen, was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. His name was not available, but Tanna said he remained in the hospital.
Golden's bail was set at $100,000, Tanna said.

Sophal Ear on "How Foreign Assistance Can Undermine Democracy"
Dr. Ear will be giving a talk entitled "How Foreign Assistance Can Undermine Democracy: Aid Dependence in Cambodia and Beyond."
Dr. Ear, an expert on political economy and international security, argues that the more aid-dependent a country, the more distorted its incentives to develop sustainably. As a post-conflict state unable to refuse aid, Cambodia is rife with trial-and-error donor experiments and their unintended consequences, such as bad governance and poor domestic and tax revenue performance--a major factor curbing sustainable, nationally owned growth. Cambodia's case is hardly unique; many African countries are comparatively more aid dependent. The implications of his findings go beyond the particular case of Cambodia and offer lessons for Burma and other countries.

Last summer, Lutsel K'e Dene youth embarked on a journey of a lifetime. Led by The Nature Conservancy and local guides, their expedition traveled via canoe through a landscape of great historic, cultural and environmental importance.
The trip will remain in the minds of the participants for the rest of their lives. A year removed from the experience, Lutsel K'e Dene youth, Damien Kailek, had this to say:
"The trip was an adventure I'll never forget. Despite the bugs and rain, it was incredible to see a land I've never seen before…our land. When I got home I talked to my dad about the journey and it felt good to know what he knows about the place"
Renowned photographer Ami Vitale joined the voyage to chronicle the Thelon River experience. Her photos and video will ensure the vibrant images of the trip are shared by the local community, and the world, for many years to come.

Whyteleafe put the Royals of Windsors to the sword
10:23am Monday 21st October 2013 in Other Football
By Brain Davis
Whyteleafe are in the hat for the second round of the FA Vase after a 4-2 win over Windsor at Church Road.
Leafe had the best of the opening exchanges - a fourth minute pass from Taylor Smith sent Roscoe DSane clear, and Carl Dennison did well to come out and block his shot.
The same players combined again to give the hosts an 11th minute lead when Smith's great run down the right left the defence trailing. His pass picked out DSane in the box, who fired into the empty net.
Windsor gradually got back into the game and there was plenty of end to end football with both keepers being kept busy.
Leafe's Sheikh Ceesay was the busier of the keepers during this period, and made a particularly good save from Rob Lazarczuk in the 28th minute after he was sent clear by Kane Jones.
Ceesay, who had played well up to this point, made a rare mistake when he fluffed his attempted clearance in the 44th minute, the ball falling to Harry Pearse who equalised from close range.
The Royals went ahead early in the second half when Pearse found Jones on the edge of the box and his shot beat Ceesay and found the back of the net.
Leafe manager John Fowler then made some inspired changes as he saw that the game could drift away from Leafe.
Sam Clayton, making a remarkably quick return from injury, and young striker Ollie Thornton came on and from then on Leafe once again looked the better side.
Leafe equalised in the 62nd minute when Taylor Smith flicked on as free kick which Dennison failed to clear properly, and with the keeper stranded Smith outjumped everyone to head the loose ball into the net.
Windsor still looked dangerous on the break and Ceesay had to make a good save from Jones in the 66th minute after he broke clear of the defence.
Controlled: Whyteleafe's Ryan Fowler
Leafe regained the league in the 72nd minute, after a mix up in the visitors defence, Thornton was quickest to react, poking the ball under Dennison into the net.
Leafe made absolutely certain of progression when they scored their fourth in the 89th minute.
A long ball found DSane on the right, and with Dennison once again caught in no mans land, Clayton ran into the empty area and slotted the ball home from close range when DSane's cross picked him out.
Whyteleafe: Ceesay, Johnson , Smith (Tommy), Leacock, Broomhead, Abrahams, Fowler (Thornton 53), Graham, DSane, Williams, (Thornton 53) Smith (Taylor) (Read 78).
Sub not used: Sendonaris.

Samaritans charity shop hit by 'callous' arsonists
8:10am Friday 15th June 2012 in Local News By George Thorpe
ARSONISTS have destroyed a pile of bags full of donations left outside a charity shop's front door.
Six black bags full of items were torched outside the Samaritans shop, in Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff.
Firefighters put out the flames, leaving staff to count the cost of the damage which is taking valuable money away from those who need it most.
Shop manager Debra, who could not give her surname due to Samaritans policy, said: "I just can't understand why someone would do this.
"About two weeks ago someone broke in and stole a stereo system and we had another burglary earlier this year, so this is just adding to the list.
"It is costing us money which we need to support our local Samaritans branch. Every penny which gets taken to be used fixing the shop affects them.
"We tell people not to leave bags outside overnight, but why a person would go and start a fire to them like this is just beyond me."
All contents of the bags were destroyed, while parts of the building's exterior were also smoke damaged.
Debra said things could have been even worse if the flames had spread to neighbouring properties.
She said: "If the whole building had gone up, then it could have ruined the businesses upstairs and even put lives at risk as some of the shops next door have flats above them."
Charlotte Fitch, the HR manager for First Care, based above the shop, said the fire, which happened at about 11.30pm on Tuesday, could have affected the people the firm looks after.
Ms Fitch said: "We work with vulnerable people in the care system. If our office had gone up in smoke, it would have left them in trouble.
"This is terrible for the charity. The people who carried out this callous act are taking away the proceeds from the desperate who need help."
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

a) fall victim to "urban rats" who will look thru the bags to see if there's anything worth having and/ or
b) those so minded will chance their arm and will take the bags for their own profit.
Charities are always grateful for donations but as someone who's worked for one and is working for another, please donate while they're open so those who need it will get the help.

Pietersen return will be "difficult" - Botham (From Daily Echo)

Pietersen return will be "difficult" - Botham
6:22pm Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in Hampshire Cricket
Former England captain Sir Ian Botham believes Kevin Pietersen's proposed return to the national side is unlikely to be a smooth one.
Botham has been a vocal critic of the lengthy stand-off between Pietersen and the England and Wales cricket Board and is convinced bridges should have been built much sooner.
ECB chairman Giles Clarke appeared alongside the batsman in Colombo today to announce that a programme of "reintegration" had been agreed between the parties with a view to Pietersen being restored to the England team.
It is currently unclear whether that will be in the forthcoming Test series against India or the one-day leg of the tour in the new year, with team director Andy Flower likely to have the final say.
Botham, though, thinks Pietersen's absence since August will cause some difficulty of its own.
"This should have been sorted out months ago," Botham told Sky Sports News.
"It's dragged on and on and it's very difficult for both parties, but that's for him to sort out.
"I think he's a world-class player but the thing is this should have been sorted out at the very beginning.
"The more it drags on, the more Chinese whispers, the more half-truths become truths.
"It needed to be nipped in the bud. It will be difficult now. He'll have some work to do."
Michael Vaughan, who captained England when Pietersen made his debut in 2005, is in no doubt about who shoulders the burden of responsibility when it comes to a successful reconciliation.
"Most of it is down to Kevin Pietersen - probably 80% of it," Vaughan told BBC Sport.
"The issue is, can Kevin Pietersen be allowed back in that dressing room? Now he has got a four-month trial period and the only way to find out is to go into the dressing room, make a speech, get round with some of the players he has had issues with, and have a beer.
"He needs to iron it all out because you want to see the best players playing.
"The way he speaks to the team, media conferences and statements are just words, the team will want actions. They will want to see how he behaves and how he is around the players.
Former England seamer Bob Willis expressed his astonishment at the ECB for accepting Pietersen's version of events surrounding the BBM messages he sent to members of the South African dressing room.
"I find it flabbergasting that Pietersen can convince the ECB that he didn't say anything derogatory about the England captain," he told Sky Sports News.
"What on earth was all the fuss about? These texts were called "provocative" by the ECB.
"So if they're provocative there must have been some criticism of somebody."
Pietersen's earning power will be enhanced by resuming his England career and Willis believes that finances are a factor.
"I don't think there's any denying he loves the greenback dollar and he's going to earn as much as he can playing cricket.
"I think Kevin has realised his massive sponsorship deals probably would disintegrate, certainly outside of India, if he wasn't playing Test match cricket for England so there was a commercial aspect to this decision as well."
Willis believes Pietersen should be included for the forthcoming India tour.
"The next Test series is still five and a half weeks away. They're talking about reintegration and although the squad has been announced for that India tour, Pietersen, as a central contract holder, should clearly be a part of that team," he said.
Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne, a close friend of Pietersen, welcomed the right-hander's return as a win for common sense.
"We have to get on with it, it's good to have him back," he told Sky Sports News.
"It is good to see common sense prevail. As we've said 50,000 times before. I'm glad KP is back in the England side."
Earlier today PIetersen issued a statement, saying: "I'd just like to take this opportunity to apologise to my team-mates, all the England supporters for the situation that has arisen in the last couple of months.
"Thankfully we have drawn a line under it and it's time to move forward.
"Although it's already been covered in the statement, I want to make very clear that at no time did I ever share tactical information with any of the South Africans or the South African management.
"Playing cricket for England is the pinnacle of any cricketer's career and I want an opportunity to do that again as soon as possible.
"Some of my proudest and best moments of my life have been in an England shirt and I want them to continue for as long as possible.
"I'm entirely committed to completing the reintegration process we have agreed over the coming weeks and resuming my England career in all formats, hopefully until the World Cup in 2015, as long as my body allows.
"I want my son growing up seeing me play for England and I hope one day he will put on an England shirt himself."

People in villages often live on the land that belonged to their families several generations back, and do not move away in adulthood. This means that cousins live near each other, too, and will help with care for family members who are absent when health workers visit.
It is easier and more efficient to distribute medications when tapping into these large family structures, Katabarwa said. Through this approach, many more women have joined the effort to distribute the medicines because they are comfortable working among their family members.
Toward elimination
Elimination in 2020 is the goal for Uganda, but river blindness is harder to control in some parts of the country because of environmental and political factors, Unnasch said.
There are places where insecticide resistance is a problem with a particular species of black fly that also moves around a lot, he said, especially on the border with South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Doing any kind of river blindness control in Democratic Republic of the Congo is problematic because of safety issues, he said. A lack of government structure also makes it hard for health workers to coordinate efforts. But the flies don't respect the border between DRC and Uganda, and people belonging to the same tribe in both countries migrate across, too.
"If you're controlling it on the Ugandan side, and doing nothing on the DRC side," Unnasch said, "you're never going to really eliminate it until you deal with these cross-border issues, and get an effective program going."
Unnasch commended the work that the Carter Center has been doing. He and Katabarwa travel together to Uganda every year. They are both part of an expert committee on river blindness through the country's Ministry of Health.
"When summertime rolls around, and the rains start to come and the flies go out, that's when we need to be there," Unnasch said.

Optimize with a SATA RAID Storage Solution
Range of capacities as low as $1250 per TB. Ideal if you currently rely on servers/disks/JBODs
In order to understand some of these key issues, we must differentiate between the presentation layer (or client tier) and the GUI layer. The GUI layer deals with a small subset of the whole presentation layer, namely the UI widgets and the immediate effects
of user actions -- a JTextField
and its ActionListener
, for example. The presentation layer needs to deal with application flows and server interaction in addition to providing
GUI services. The terms presentation layer and client tier are used interchangeably in this article.
To mitigate the risk associated with creating a robust client tier, developers have produced several frameworks and design patterns with varying degrees of success. The Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm remains one of the more enduring patterns. However, the traditional MVC scope falls short when it comes to the control of GUI elements (widgets). MVC does not handle the complexities of data management, event management, and application flows. As an adaptation of the MVC triad, the HMVC -- Hierarchical-Model-View-Controller -- paradigm seeks to redress some of the above-mentioned issues. We developed this pattern during the course of our work in the field. HMVC provides a powerful yet easy-to-understand layered design methodology for developing a complete presentation layer. While MVC provides an efficient framework for developing GUI interaction, HMVC scales it to the entire client tier. Some key benefits of a responsibility-based, layered architecture include:
This article explores the application of the HMVC design pattern in the development of a Java-based client-tier infrastructure.
Note: The entire source code for this article can be downloaded as a zip file from the Resources section below.
Developers primarily use MVC in Smalltalk for implementing GUI objects. Numerous GUI class libraries and application frameworks have reused and adopted the pattern. As the MVC paradigm offers an elegant and simple means for solving UI-related problems in an object-oriented way, its popularity is justified. MVC provides clearly defined roles and responsibilities for its three constituent elements -- model, view, and controller. The view manages the screen layout -- that is, what the user interacts with and sees on the screen. The model represents the data underlying the object -- for example, the on-off state of a check box or the text string from a text field. Events cause the data in the model to change. The controller determines how the user interacts with the view in the form of commands.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (130 votes).
In short: Wet Wet Wet but great fun In full: This was my first time doing the Reading Half and I will definitely be back next year. Yes the weather was awful and very wet but I have trained many times in weather conditions like this so I was prepared. I thought all the people out there stood in it, Marshall's, supporters etc were brilliant! Finishing in the stadium was awesome!!! What a great way to finish a race. The end of the race was hard work, all the baggage tents where flooded etc and the queue for the buses back to the station was horrendous in the rain. I was only 3mins off getting a PB so I will be back next year to put that right! Thank you Reading Date of review: March 18, 2013
In full: 2nd year of running this one. Very wet and freezing cold, but that's character building and adds to the fun. Thanks to the marshalls and supporters for braving the weather. See you next year :-)Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: I've never felt so cold, but really enjoyed the race!In full: Really enjoyed the atmospehere, as this was my first large scale half. Weather was truly appalling, but the friendliness of the runners and the crowds made up for the rain and cold!!Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Not as well organised as last year.In full: I ran last year and thought it was a very well organised race. This year was a disappointment.1) I paid for a car park that was supposed to be 5 minutes walk away from the stadium. It was more like 20 minutes.2) The Mizuno VIP access was a shambles. We were supposed to be sent wristbands before the race - then we were told to collect them on the day - and there was ONE person issuing the bands with a queue about 30 minutes long. I ended up not bothering.3) Baggage tent was a mess at the end of the race. There was a marshal telling the long line to keep moving forward, and other marshals inside the tent keeping people out. It took 25 minutes from crossing the line to actually having my bag.4) Too many runners started in the wrong pen. I was a blue start - I spent the first 3 miles dodging people with orange numbers stopping without warning in front of me. (And people with red numbers who were walking)And yes it did rain, but that's always a risk!Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: A really lovely race despite the awful weather.In full: This was a fantastically organised race and although the scenery isn't spectacular, the support and the drumming along the way more than made up for it. Great PB potential apart from having to get past people which is always the same in a big race. I had a great day and will be looking to do this one again! Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Good event, well organisedIn full: First time at Reading and will come back as the weather made it horrible but I suspect it would be a very pleasant run if the conditions were right. We stayed close by and had about a 10 minute walk to the stadium so no problems at all. Glad that you could use the hotel to stay warm and dry as it was definitely needed. A long walk to the start but nice chance to warm up the legs before starting the race. The only bit I really didn't like was coming back on the dual carriage way on mile 11, but once I got into the Stadium which is a fantastic finish all was forgiven!! Will definitely return.Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Very well organized and very enjoyable experienceIn full: A fantastic race. The atmosphere was superb all the way round the course despite the awful weather it was great to see so many people out supporting the runners. The finish in the football stadium was electric. The organisation for a race this size was superb and the goody bag at the end was very generous to. Their were of course the inevitable idiots well out of position at the start getting in everyone's way but on the whole it was absolutely fab and the relative lack of hills give it excellent pb potential. Well for sure be doing this again!Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Great race organisation as usual and considering the terrible weather conditionsIn full: Great race again and the people of Reading never disappointed again. I'm always suprised about the effort homeowners and businesses make in taking part by setting themselves up to watch and provide goodies & set up music for runners to listen to. Shoppers and people at bus stops also never complain & cheer the crowd. Rarely get this at other events. Made me forget about the bad weather. Waited ages in the rain for the suttle bus but on such a rainy day the organisers were trying their best. See everyone next year. Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: This is a great race, fast course, brilliantly organised and incredible atmosphere. Shame about the weatherDate of review: March 18, 2013
In short: As ever brilliant race despite the weather, this is a 'must do' in the road running calenderDate of review: March 18, 2013

Remote GUI access with VNC
Once you only needed a command line to access remote computers, but today's networks sometimes require a graphical connection. The VNC protocol provides a practical cross-platform screen sharing solution. We'll take a close look at VNC and show you some leading no-cost VNC applications.
I work in a data center with hundreds of machines spread over two buildings. Usually we can perform the necessary management functions for the Linux and Unix systems using ssh; however, in a number of cases, a tool we need may not have a command-line interface, or the remote system may be running some version of Windows that requires access to the GUI. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a popular alternative for sharing screens on heterogeneous networks. VNC beha-vior is slightly different from the X Windowing system. One difference is that VNC shares the entire desktop. A user on one machine can see the current desktop of a user on another and control the mouse and keyboard of the remote system. This feature is useful for a range of activities, such as accessing a work computer from home, working with students in a training environment, providing tech support, or annoying your son while he's playing video games.

AMD warns on revenue: Trouble ahead for PC makers?
Advanced Micro Devices said today that revenue for the quarter ending June 30 is expected to be off 11 percent sequentially.
That's a very different outlook from what AMD forecast previously when it said that second-quarter 2012 revenue was expected to increase 3 percent sequentially, plus or minus 3 percent.
"The lower preliminary revenue results are primarily due to business conditions that materialized late in the second quarter, specifically softer-than-expected channel sales in China and Europe," the company said.
But AMD also attributed the worse-than-expected result to "a weaker consumer buying environment impacting the company's … Read more

The home varies on availability. 15-20 miles away from orlando. We got clermont,FL.. 5 bedroom (3 small room!) home in a residential neighborhood. I... would call the office first to know everything, and then book online. Everything is good at the house. Everything works. Full kitchen appliances. Only thing is TV is so 1990's! The pool is clean! But i wast able to add the heating since i did not mention it with my booking! Its like amazing race, you will get the envelope in red box and find your house and enter code for the key! It's hard to do this when 4 vehicle is convoying along the way. Good price!

Mike Adams
As a second-generation newspaper editor, I've seen a few interesting intersections between my father's career and mine.
I found one in the Observer newsroom.
I was born just up Interstate 95 in Wilson, where my father, Jack Adams, spent a few years as a writer and editor at the Wilson Daily Times. One story he remembers writing - years before I could read - was a feature on Arnold Pope.
Pope was a Methodist minister in Wilson at the time. What made him feature-worthy was his reputation as a strongman who used his ability to lift enormous weights as a tool in his effort to save souls.
Arnold Pope must have made a big impression on my dad. At least 30 years after he wrote the story, he remembered it when I mentioned that one of my co-workers at the Observer is Thomas Pope.
"Is he Arnold Pope's son?" my dad asked.
Turns out he is. And Thomas' father, who was just inducted into the Fayetteville Sports Club Hall of Fame, is still lifting weights.
I'm reminded of this intersection this week because Thomas, who is now the Observer's sports editor, has been front and center in our pages and on our website over the last few days.
In addition to his editing duties, he's one of the most respected motorsports writers around. And today's Daytona 500 culminates what is arguably the biggest week on the American racing calendar.
As has been the case for more years than I've been at this newspaper, Thomas is on hand to chronicle the racing and the stories going on around it.
I didn't grow up a racing fan. But over the last couple of decades, I've become a big fan of the way Thomas spins tales of the tracks in a style that manages to be both folksy and informed.
Whether he's writing about Fayetteville's dirt track or the big-time world of NASCAR, Thomas manages to entertain and educate at the same time.
I'm proud to have him as part of our staff. It is also pretty neat that my dad and I have had the opportunity to write about two generations of Popes, both of them standouts in their fields.

I'm putting Trine and Armored Core V in a cage and letting them fight for my affection.
Trine is a fantastic action/arcade game with stunning graphics. The 3 player co-op is simply a blast.
Armored Core V is pretty freaking complex. It's very different from previous installments, but the plot is still full on retarded. The game is doing a good job scratching my mech itch though, at least until Hawken is released.

Making a serious commitment to a doctor-approved diet and exercise plan can be all that's necessary to shed excess pounds and avoid obesity-related complications. But when regular weight loss attempts have failed and medical problems persist, bariatric surgery or "weight loss surgery" might be an option. At Nemours, we offer a bariatric surgery program for teens who are severely obese.
What to Expect With Bariatric Surgery
Teen bariatric surgery relies on the gastric banding (or Lap-Band) technique. This minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgery involves placing an adjustable silicone device at the very top of your child's stomach to create a small pouch. This pouch reduces the size of the stomach and decreases the amount of food that can be comfortably eaten.
The band can also be tightened or loosened to increase or decrease weight loss, and it can also be removed entirely, if desired.

Sorry for the lack up updates... Life hits hard, Holidays doubly so.
I got a few moments to sketch...mostly nothing worthwhile came of it, wish I had more time to render the eyes and left shoulder (viewer right), but have to be getting back to other things .
Reference: Domai
Process: Digital: Started with breaking it down into simple shapes...and just repeatedly breaking them (did every break visually, which wouldn't have been possible physically - woulda worn out the paper and probably had some 'hard to remove' marks - but wanted to force myself not to skip steps, I can do it mentally later)
As far as the value ranges...mainly I blame it on my scanner (and lack of experience with 'photo editing' - I've only used digital for well....making pictures not editing them - so levels aren't high on my list of experience)... with some fiddling I've gotten it fairly close to what it looks like irl (at least on my monitor, which isn't calibrated atm - that's another story though)... I actually tend to use 4B, 6B, and Ebony pencils (hardest lead I use is 2B in .5mm and .7mm pencils, I don't like the H leads) - my 4B/6B are 2mm leads, my ebony is a wooden pencil (probably 2mm too).
Close to Actual:
If memory serves I did the dog's head with a 6B.
Anywho, thanks for the comments - sorry for not being more reliable on this, In my free time I plan to try and work on faces/heads some more - since they're currently my biggest problem area imo .

NEW YORK (AP) - An early gain on the stock market shrank Thursday after House Speaker John Boehner said little progress was being made in budget talks in Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average had been up as much as 77 points in morning trading Thursday, then briefly turned negative after Boehner's remarks at 11:30 a.m. Eastern. Shortly after noon the Dow was up 20 points at 13,005.
The Standard & Poor's 500 was up four points at 1,414 and the Nasdaq was up 15 at 3,006.
The market got off to a strong start following several positive economic reports, including a higher estimate of third-quarter U.S. economic growth, an increase in home sales and a drop in claims for unemployment benefits.
Following a meeting with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Boehner told reporters that Democrats still haven't said which cuts they would accept to government benefit programs, suggesting a final budget deal remains a long way off. Republicans have said that they are open to increasing tax revenues as part of an agreement but only if they're accompanied by significant cuts to spending.
Investors have been closely following the talks between the White House and Congress over the "fiscal cliff", sharp government spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start Jan. 1. New developments in the talks have whipsawed the market.
"It's a headline-watching market with this fiscal cliff," said David Brown, chief market strategist of the investment research firm Sabrient Systems.
Brown says the ongoing negotiations are likely to cause the stock market to take sudden turns in the weeks ahead. "But things seem to be moving in the right direction," Brown said. "I don't think either party wants to get pinned with hurting the market or the economy."
The up-and-down pattern in the market has left the Dow and S&P 500 little changed this week.
The Commerce Department raised its estimate for U.S. economic growth to an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-through-September period. That's much better than the 2 percent rate estimated a month ago and more than twice the 1.3 percent rate logged in the three previous months.
The Labor Department also reported that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits dropped to 393,000 last week, in line with what economists had expected. It was the second straight drop after Superstorm Sandy drove applications higher earlier this month.
Some retail stores posted poor sales numbers, driving their stocks lower. It's a critical time for retailers, who log a huge chunk of their yearly profits in the weeks running up to the holidays.
Kohl's plunged $5.41, or 10 percent, to $45.74, the most in the S&P 500 index. The company posted a drop in sales and said stores in the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, areas hit by Superstorm Sandy, fared the worst. Results at Target, The Gap, and others also fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Kroger Co. rose 82 cents to $25.88 after the supermarket chain reported stronger quarterly profits and raised its earnings outlook for the year. Stronger sales helped the operator of Fred Meyer and Food 4 Less stores post better results than analysts had expected.

I've been a Daft Punk fan since a bro called me a ****** (lmao at the stars, it's a slur against gays and/or an English cigarette) for liking them in high school, and since then news about Daft anything has actually leaked, as far as I know, exactly two times:
- someone scooped the world tour 2007 dates and posted them here
- Human After All leaked ~3 weeks before the release.
What I'm saying is the chances of a Seattle-based dubstep promoter having an epic Daftnouncement are zero and you should think about what you post before you post it.
I only mention the slur because it was a formative experience in my relationship with house music.
Wait - so are you saying I shouldn't have reposted your proof of talking to Thomas Bangalter on the Coachella facebook page, because it's not truth? Trick, why you be all trickin the kids and shit?
Oh shut the fuck up. Think about what I post? If you couldn't sense from the tone of my post that I'm playing into the perpetual Daft Punk rumor mill, then you're a god damn moron. "Think about what you post before you post it." Please.

BY MARCY SHORTUSE - It's been a peaceful 2011 around here, and in Boca Grande that's usually a good thing. As the year dwindles down to its last few hours, it's time to reflect on what has happened this year. We realize that this line-up of events may not mean much to the infrequent visitor, but every little detail in a seemingly-innocuous monthly line-up can elicit memories for all of us who spend a good portion of our time here.Join us in a trip back in time, through the year that was 2011.
Almost three-quarters of a ton of food was collected during the Boca Grande Christmas Food Drive. The Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida was the recipient, and Joyce Jacobs, the associate director of the food bank (above, in red) stood with Jim Cochrun and Bob Elliot when she picked up the van on December 21. Representatives for the Boca Grande food drive said they surpassed last year's food collection by 250 pounds, with a total of 1,480 pounds of food.
It is believed to be the most successful Christmas food drive ever in the island's history.
A barrel for food donations will be available at the administrative office of the Boca Grande United Methodist Church until the spring food drive begins in mid-February.
BY LIZA STROUT - A huge part of a child's life is their education, and whether that education is a good or bad one can make a huge impact in the rest of their lives.
Emily Steffan, a teacher from New Orleans, is the daughter of Dr. Michael and Angela Steffan of Boca Grande. She is one of the four panel members that will discuss this country's educational system in the next segment of the Friends of Boca Grande Community Center Film Forum series of movie viewings and panel discussions based upon the movies.
There was no game on Monday, Dec. 26 to allow everyone time to recover from inundations and celebrations of the holiday.
