text: DECISION RIBBLE VALLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL REPORT TO COMMUNITY COMMITTEE Agenda Item No. meeting date: TUESDAY, 3RD NOVEMBER 2009 title: FUTURE WASTE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS AND PFI submitted by: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES principal author: PETER McGEORGE 1. PURPOSE 1.1 To update Members on the outcome of discussions with Lancashire County Council on the implications for the delivery of all our waste streams to the PFI Waste Technology Parks; and, 1.2 To seek a decision in principle from Members as to whether they wish to commit to the future delivery of all waste streams to these facilities. 1.3 Relevance to the Council's ambitions and priorities: Council Ambitions – Protect and enhance the environmental quality of the area. Council`s core values - Ensure that access to services is available to all; and treat everyone equally. Community Objectives – Environmental excellence. Corporate Priorities – To recycle and compost 56% of all waste by 2015 in accordance with our Waste Management Strategy. To support the commitments in the Corporate Performance and Improvement Plan 2007 we will: ACTION OUTPUTS & TARGETS To roll out the three stream waste The 3 stream refuse and recycling service will collection service. cover all parts of the Borough and be extended to 95% of households by the end of 2008. To raise awareness of waste The amount of waste produced by each minimization, recycling and household reduced to 388kg per property per composting. annum by 2010 and increased participation in recycling and composting initiatives. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Since November 1997 Ribble Valley Borough Council has worked in partnership with all the local authorities in Lancashire to create a Strategy that would guide the development of sustainable waste management in Lancashire. 2.2 Development of the Strategy led to the commitment by districts to introducing segregated waste collection systems whilst Lancashire County Council as the waste disposal authority was committed to providing a network of waste treatment facilities. 2.3 Initially an Outline Business Case was submitted by the County Council for PFI funding for a single waste collection and disposal contract for the whole of Lancashire. Members questioned whether this was the right solution for Lancashire and included their reservation within the bid. 2.4 Funding for such a delivery mechanism was not granted, however a lesser PFI funding offer was awarded, to support the development of a network of waste treatment facilities incorporating material recycling facilities and strategic composting/mechanical biological treatment plants. It was expected that districts would continue to be responsible for their own collection operations. 2.5 In an effort to introduce financial stability for local authorities introducing segregated collection systems, Lancashire County Council offered an alternate property based payment mechanism (Cost Sharing) to replace the statutory recycling credit payment. Recycling credits are a statutory payment by the disposal authorities to district collection authorities for domestic waste recovered from the disposal waste stream for recycling. 2.6 Signing up to the Cost Sharing Agreement would also commit the authority to delivering all collected waste streams in a manner as directed by the County Council to the PFI Waste Technology Parks. It was suggested that conditions/costs could be imposed on some authorities depending on how certain waste streams were presented at these facilities. As our collection system does not meet the model outlined in the Cost Sharing Agreement and as it would mean making considerable investment in meeting those conditions Members agreed in previous Committee meetings that we would continue to claim recycling credits and explore the implications in delivering of our waste streams to the Waste Technology Parks. 2.7 In a report to Community Services Committee on 14 th July 2009, Members were updated on officers discussions with Lancashire County Council on the development of the PFI Waste Technology Parks and how districts would be expected to deliver all their waste for treatment and recycling (including composting) to one of these facilities. 2.8 Members were also advised that Officers were still attempting to obtain key information from the County Council on the specific terms and conditions for this Council that would apply in the event we delivered all our waste to the PFI Waste Technology facilities. 2.9 Members resolved in Minute 186 of the meeting of his Committee on 14 th July 2009 that a future report was to be presented to Committee that would put a close to this issue. 3. ISSUES 3.1 On the 8th September 2009 officers met with representatives from Lancashire County Council to address the implications and conditions for the delivery of our waste to the Waste Technology Parks. 3.2 The meeting was extremely productive with only one of the issues remaining unresolved. 3.3 Officers have since confirmed with County the agreed outcome of each of the issues addressed at the meeting which were as follows:- That this Council would continue to claim recycling credits and subject to satisfactory terms and conditions deliver our various waste streams to the PFI facilities. In providing the above the Council would intend to continue to collect residual/general waste weekly using 140 litre wheeled bins (or equivalent plastic sack capacity in a limited percentage of properties). We would collect co-mingled glass, cans (including aerosols and clean foil) and plastic bottles fortnightly using 140 litre capacity wheeled bins. We would collect green waste/garden waste fortnightly using 140 litre wheeled bins with the proposal to encourage householders to place clean uncooked kitchen waste in with this fraction. Street cleansing waste including leaves will be contained within this type of waste. We would collect mixed paper and cardboard fortnightly as a separate operation to the above mentioned combined operation. The difference is that this material is collected on a daily basis and therefore material recovered weekly as opposed to the co-mingled recyclate and green waste recovered on alternate weeks. It was agreed that Ribble Valley had no plans at present to introduce a separate kitchen waste collection service and that this would not be imposed by the County Council. It was also agreed that Ribble Valley had no plans at present to introduce a separate textile collection service, although we would continue to encourage residents to make use of existing options to recycle this type of material. We would continue for the foreseeable future a free of charge collection service for a specified type and amount of bulky household waste, per property. Some bulky household waste where practicable would be included within the residual/general household waste collection operation but will not exceed the 40% by weight threshold. Other bulky household waste items due to size and nature would be collected separately to the standard service and would therefore represent 100% by weight of each load. We propose to place these in the residual/general waste that would be bulk transported to the PFI facilities, but recognize that other alternatives may arise in future to deal with this type of waste. We aim to look positively at delivering the waste from our network of mini recycling centres into the new arrangements. Fridges and freezers from domestic properties would be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre as will WEEE material, subject to the numbers restricted per day at these sites. We have been advised that there are no arrangements in place within the PFI Waste Technology Park facilities to deal with elements such as metal and white goods separately. As it is the County Council position that all bulky household waste will go direct to landfill, it is our intention to continue with current recycling arrangements in which we sell to a scrap metal merchant. County accepted that we will continue to collect commercial/trade waste within the residual/general waste collection operation (as municipal waste) and deliver to the PFI facilities, and that we had no plans to collect this waste separately to the existing service or provide any recycling service for business. County has agreed that all arrangements for the bulk haulage of ALL waste delivered to the Ribble Valley Waste Transfer Station to be provided and funded by them. 3.4 As there is at present no facility within the existing Waste Transfer Station for the bulking of mixed paper and cardboard (or any other segregated waste stream) the matter remains unresolved with the County Council on the how this material will be dealt with. We have indicated that we will hold them responsible for the costs resulting from any changes to the Waste Transfer Station or possibly from any direct delivery to the PFI facilities or other facility that we may be directed to deliver the material. 3.5 At present the Council receives a reasonable income from the sale of recyclable materials collected and delivered to our reprocessing contractor, however no payment or compensation will be received from the County Council once we commence delivery to the PFI facilities. 3.6 We have sought to clarify the question of payment of gate fees for certain waste streams, and whilst we have been instructed that gate fees will be payable for trade/commercial waste we have not yet been advised what the fee will be. It is essential that we know as early as possible in order to ensure this cost is budgeted within our trade waste collection rates. 3.6.1 Whilst gate fees for the delivery of co-mingled recyclate have been waived by the County Council certainly until the end of the Cost Sharing Agreement in 2014 we have been given no indication what to expect following that date. We have always argued that the imposition of a gate fee for this material was unjustified especially when there are markets who like our current processor are prepared to pay a reasonable income for this material. 3.6.2 Official confirmation has been received that although LCC has agreed to pay recycling credits for green waste, they do not propose to pass on the treatment cost for this waste stream to Ribble Valley, this cost will be met by LCC. 3.7 Whilst County has been asked to provide clearer timetables as to when our waste will have to be delivered to the PFI facility we are still awaiting final confirmation of the start date. We have also attempted to establish whether all our waste streams will be collected from the outset. 3.8 Agreeing to deliver all our waste streams to the PFI facilities will have a significant impact on all our contractors and we have already entered into discussions with them to advise on the implications for each of them. 3.9 We currently employ a contractor to bulk haul general waste, green waste and the mixed dry recyclate to their different destinations. As the bulk haulage of all our waste is to be provided and funded through the PFI contract by the County Council, the contract will cease prior to the start date for collection. In the meantime an assurance has been given that they will continue to provide the same standard of service up until the date of changeover. 3.10 Swinnerton Environmental, has been employed by this Council for the last 10 years to provide the kerbside collection of waste paper and cardboard during which the service has been extended to cover all households within the Ribble Valley. The cost to the contractor of providing the service is covered through the payment of the recycling credits and from the sale of the collected material. As this material will have to be delivered to the PFI facilities we are now looking at the possibility of taking the service in house. As mentioned in paragraph 3.4 there is no facility within our Waste Transfer Station for the bulking of this material and we are still awaiting a decision by County on whether they intend to cover any costs incurred. We have already met with the contractor and explained that there is a the likelihood that the contract will end next year. Assurances have been given by the contractor that the service will continue to be provided as normal until instructed otherwise. 3.11 The contracts with both the contractors who deal with the dry recyclate and green/garden waste end in March 2010. Without a definitive start date for delivery to PFI facilities it is difficult to negotiate beneficial rates over a short yet unknown period up until their services are no longer required. 4. RISK ASSESSMENT 4.1 The approval of this report may have the following implications:- Resources ● None at this stage. However a full evaluation of the financial implications will be prepared once all outstanding issues have been resolved. Whilst we are aware that we will incur additional costs for instance in taking over the waste paper and cardboard collection service and lose the saleable income for the recyclate it is anticipated that we are likely to offset these costs with savings from other areas of the new arrangements. Technical, Environmental and Legal ● Continuing to claim recycling credits has allowed the Council to determine its own collection arrangements and therein have not been required to find the significant investment that would be needed to recover additional waste streams as determined by the Cost Sharing Agreement. In preparing to undertake the waste paper and cardboard collection service we will need to seek legal guidance on employment issues. Political ● None at this stage Reputation ● The Councils own achievements will determine how both residents and government view our waste management performance. Although it should be noted that Government has encouraged local authority partnership working and the development of joint waste management strategies. Similarly the Council should not be seen to accept without question changes to deliver our waste to the Waste Technology Parks without evaluating all its implications. 5. RECOMMENDED THAT COMMITTEE: 5.1 Agree in principle to the delivery of all our waste streams to the PFI facilities, subject to, 5.2 A full financial costing report being submitted to the next meeting of this Committee.

Capt. Michelle Lunato 359th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade
Over 500 deployed service members and civilians participated in an Army Ten-Miler Shadow Oct. 17 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.
The event, hosted by the Vermont National Guard's 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, was one of six official shadow runs held in Afghanistan.
The official Army Ten-Miler is held along the scenic streets of Washington, D.C.
Runners in Bagram's Shadow Run had to trade in views of the Pentagon and the Washington Monument for tactical vehicles and perimeter fences.
However, the change in scenery did not change the motivation for running, many participants said.
"I love competition … not necessarily against everyone else, but I suppose it's the challenge of training and working hard to set personal records and then being able to look back and see how I've improved," Atlanta resident Army 1st Lt. Emile Hawkins Jr., fusion cell project officer, 359th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade, said.
In addition to supporting fitness goals, the Army Ten-Miler has another mission: To build esprit de corps. In the coalition environment of Bagram, unified teamwork is critical, and the Shadow Run is one way to show the true meaning of teamwork, Columbia, S.C. resident Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Cynthia Thomas, enterprise system administrator, Joint NetOps Control Center – Afghanistan, 359th TTSB, said.
Adding, "Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results, and without teamwork, we cannot succeed here."
Being able to run with people you work with rather than random strangers was definitely a bonus, said the Shadow Run's first place male runner, Auburn, Calif. resident Army Spc. Michael Burham, military intelligence system maintainer, 1st Military Intelligence Battalion. "It helps immensely with the morale. It also helps break the monotony here."
As the Ten-Miler was a way to break up the repetitiveness of deployment for some, it was a way to bring a sense of home to others.
"I try to compete in the Ten-Miler every year, said Moorehead, Miss. resident Army Maj. Marilyn Walls, commander, 510th Human Resources Company.
Adding, "And after completing in over ten races, competing while deployed, was just like being at home," she said. "It helps me have a sense of normalcy here."
The multi-national nature of the official Ten-Miler was not lost at the Bagram Shadow Run.
Runners from Bosnia, Pakistan, Russia, and Korea could be seen along-side deployed soldiers, marines, coast guardsmen, sailors, airmen, Department of Defense civilians and contractors.
The coalition presence in the run was meaningful said Jacksonville, Fla. resident Army Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Friedbauer, parachute rigger, Combined Joint Special Forces Operation Task Force – Afghanistan. "In the states you are running for yourself. Here, you are running for your country."
Although the run had to be re-routed due to force protection measures at the last minute, runners ran just over eight miles.
The winners were Michael Burham from Task Force Condor with 50:19, and Capt. Ronnee Farrell of Task Force Workhorse with 57:52.

Dec 19, 2012This game is a ripoff of WarInc models, textures and codes and DayZ idea.
False advertising makes you believe this game is AAA but its unfinished, unpolished...
I regret buying it. Thank god it was taken out of Steam for being a FRAUD. -
Dec 19, 2012THIS GAME SUCKS
i rather shoot myself in the head then too ever play this crap again i rather be tortured with a chainsaw then this this game is soooo bad that it should have died on the drawing board END OF REVIEW -
Dec 19, 2012Scam game, soo many promises just to sell a pvp games with somes zombies.
True Story. -
Dec 19, 2012Looked really promissing, but turned out to be overhyped and unfinished. Defently not something i would recommend. It is a blatant ripoff of the DayZ mods ideas, but there is no real improvement to the table . Unlike the dayz mod, which is free, they actually charge money you for this buggy half baked piece of crap.
Dec 19, 2012
Dec 19, 2012I regret buying this. Next to the false advertising the game is probably the worst game i ever played. It's clearly not finished, yet micro transactions are enabled. Textures are worse then it's mod counterpart ... Im dissapointed in steam on approving this game

Dec 19, 2012Short and sweet: Cash grab update and multiple lies. Constantly placing the blame on your customers, claiming we "misread" this and that. Inexcusable.
Dec 19, 2012This game is so bad, no level design, awful graphics, it's a joke ! Don't support these guys, it's a big scam, save your money ! They banned users for spreading the truth, this is totally unacceptable !
Dec 20, 2012This game is a scam. Spend your money elsewhere. This is a cash grab with an amateur "game studio" that is attempting to cash in on the success of the DayZ mod for Arma II.

Dec 20, 2012This game is a mess, I had hoped in this game but the developer team is totally inexperienced and incapable, they just destroyed the great idea of this game, which was Zombie pós-apocalyptic, and turned it into PVP game. do not buy it, im a dissatisfied consumer. TERRIBLE game!
Dec 20, 2012Avoid this game, it really is bad. Its a poor mans DayZ, which lacks many of the features it claims to have. Game play feel sluggish and broken, textures look ugly and outdated. Its just not fun.
Dec 20, 2012This is just a fail try to steal people's money. Seriously, this isn't even a game. Plus: random bans, unfinished, small map, lies about the real features, stupid in-game community, buy the game and then you have more thing to pay for and that's what a I call scam and unqualified staff.
Dec 20, 2012Not worth anyones time. Do NOT get this game, even when/if it is released. The animations are sketchy, players are dicks, and most of all... you can't last more than 3 hours in this game.
Do not buy this. This dev team is despite for money and using microtransactions in the game -
Dec 20, 2012i want to like this game i really do, but the fact that the company that makes it keeps dragging their heels promising content that should have been implemented months ago, and postponing content that should have taken priority.... it's horrible. it seems like the people at Arktos Entertainment need to sort their issues out, and get working.
Dec 21, 2012Poorly made ripoff of the ARMA2 mod DayZ. This game promises a lot but delivers none of it. The developers claim to be working on this game for 2 years but it feels like they have just cobbled together a product and are using the 'alpha' label to ignore the fact that its a BAD game.
I don't know what would turn this game around, the current state of the game is a train wreck. -
Dec 21, 2012They lied saying it was a Zombie MMO. The quest are still not in the game. Can't play with friends. You buy the game then they nickel and dime you to death in the The WarZ store.
Jan 23, 2014
Dec 22, 2012Simply one of the worst games i have played. Day z does everything better thank this mess.
Awful graphics, tiny map, poor game engine, plus too many other flaws to list (just google this game and you will see)
Do Not Buy. Instead buy arma 2 and enjoy a far superior mod called day z. -

Dec 31, 2012I will be comparing this to dayz. Dayz is a mod in alpha for free. warz is a game for $15 dollars and no sign of it being a alpha or beta and the devs lied about the features then afterward blamed it as a misunderstanding of the consumer . This game deserves nothing not even a single dime .
Dec 31, 2012Zombie MMO is conceptually interesting, but when you get into the game its terrible. Death respawns are ridiculously long (4hrs). Running around aimlessly with nothing to do except hunt noobs and grief people or help people. I found no actual purpose or goal with this game. Waste of money, even on sale.

Jan 11, 2013A classless game trying to scam its users. I'll give it a 1 out of 10 solely for the fact that this is a game. Avoid this game, 2,084 people can't be wrong.
Jan 11, 2013Let me put it this way, if out of 200 reviews this has 1 good review, do you think this game is worth it?
Worst game ever played, even being an Alpha you can tell the game was not even real, it looks like they grabbed the graphics engine, modified some little stuff, put a name on it, and shell it out while unplayable. You will want to wait until Day Z comes out, worst purchase of my life. -

Feb 12, 2013This is a parody of a game, nothing more. They betray the Gamers. Graphically dated, but still coherent. A bug hell, where is almost nothing except then cheater and kill players. Its boring to explore the only map. The game is not finished and untrustworthy behavior. It plays like an alpha. If you buy it through Steam, you can get a refund. Better wait for Day Z.

Worst game ever, once you die you have to wait for 1 hour to re-spawn your character!!!

May 30, 2013Be warned, The screenshots on their website are mostly prerenders.
You are better off looking up youtube player footage to see what it really is like.
Shame that it was so bad, it could have been something nice.
Multiplayer is fun with friends, a lot of these maybe and green reviews are from people mistaking the enjoyment of doing that as a good game. -
Mar 31, 2013
Apr 1, 2013It is a shame they allowed this game back on to Steam...let it die already. I could drone on about its numerous flaws or how I'm currently using the BBB to get my money back from them. Good idea for a game hopefully someone else does it right. I will never do business with these people again.
Apr 9, 2013
Dec 20, 2013I gave this game a chance, but he disappointed me and I regretted buying it. Poor graphics, creppy online service and a ridiculous. And besides, I could not play at any moment due to bugs in the game. I hate this! It's the worst game I ever played.
Apr 24, 2013The worst survival zombie game ever made.
Bugs and hacks everywhere. The engine is a crap, and the cash shop is ridiculous.
It look like an alpha of a game. -
May 24, 2013Thought this game was going to be interesting but the insult here is the amount of lawsuits and stolen engine pieces they have. THey tried to get by with minimal amount of paying for things and used only 10% of the engines full power... let alone even use the updated version of the engine from version 1.2 to 10.02.34. It's Insulting that they did that. and stole ideas from another game.
May 30, 2013
Jul 30, 2013This game is a joke. Not only is it plagued with bugs and glitches
hackers and cheaters, Micro-transactions on a game payed for.
But whats worst is that this game promised so much that it never delivered to teh point it's been removed from steam, and re-named
Its horrid -

Sep 26, 2013Do NOT buy this game. Don't even think about it. Do some research and you'll understand why. These guys should be in jail for all the false advertising they did. SCAM!
Now they changed the name from "War Z" to "Infestation: Survivor Stories" just to try and scam more people. Sad. -

Apr 19, 2014This game is full of lies and is broken in every way possible. DO NOT BUY!
Even if you do get past the lies and brokenness then all there is to do it horde 100's of guns (which you can buy ammo for.)
As I said earlier do not buy this broken pile of lies. -
May 20, 2014I like how they tricked me into buying it again by RE-naming it and putting it on steam with a different trailer.
I should have got my money back for that stunt.
game is a total piece of crap , probs the worst game I have ever played in a good few years,
and its a total shameless rip off done in the worst way possible. -

Dec 23, 2012This game is just horrendous. False advertising is the only reason it sold even a single copy. either that or because they though it was the Day Z standalone.
Dec 20, 2012Bunch of fanboys on here giving out high scores blaming the customer for not "reading that the game is still in alpha/beta." Fun fact: the Steam page doesn't mention that minor detail. The company says the game is release worthy, and they're selling it like a release game. Don't listen to the fanboys, they're blinded by stupidity.
Dec 24, 2012What a bummer,they trying to release the game that haven`t finish yet.And now people who brought it got scammed.Stick with DayZ instead.WarZ is just a piece of crap that they wanna look like DayZ but even better,but nothing can do anymore with broken gameplay at all and rob money by purchase something...what a joke.War Inc game should not make a game like this!
Dec 20, 2012The Developers are liars, the game is buggy, some textures are worst i have ever seen. Most important it's so **** boring - walking slowly through endless **** being killed by overpowered zombies and invisible players, etc. I just want my money back!
Jan 31, 2013A complete piece of garbage. Some games just rip off others, and the results is often mediocre at best, but War Z beats records in terms of lazy game development. If trolling had its equivalent in the game industry, this game would be a fine example. Stay away from this sorry excuse for a quick cash grab.
Jan 6, 2013Buyer beware. The fact that this game was removed from Steam should be all you need to know that it is a scam. Their current scheme is perma-banning honest users in order to have them repurchase the game. Anyone with insider knowledge knows this game will not exist 6 months from now. Save your money and buy Arma II on Steam to play Dayz.
Dec 19, 2012This game is absolutely awful. Please, do not waste your money on this game that is a clear rip off of DayZ and is under supported by this greedy, banhappy developer. If you voice an opinion of dislike for the game, in any capacity (constructive criticism or otherwise) you will get a permanent ban and no option of refund.
Save yourself; but this game isn't the way to survive. -
Dec 20, 2012Absolutely shocking behaviour by this developer. DO NOT REWARD THIS DEVELOPER WITH MONEY.
In case you need more info - this guy made Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. Google it.
Rip-off merchant. -
Dec 18, 2012this game is crappy, it is really a huge scam
dont buy it, just wait for the dayz standalone, like i am even tho i never played the actual mod
if arma 2 co will be on sale i will get it just for the mod -
Dec 18, 2012
Dec 17, 2012Do not purchase this game. Many features listed on Steam are completely missing. The price was reduced to less than $15 in order to squeeze as much money from the game before it dies. I repeat: do not purchase this game, you will not get what you think you are getting. Just look at the War Z forums to see the problems.
Dec 19, 2012
Dec 23, 2012
Dec 19, 2012To put it simply, this game is unfinished and broken at best. An embarrassment to a developer. Released way too early then it should have been and with a broken community. Save yourself, don't buy this.
Mar 17, 2013I just playing this game, created a character and got in a newbie camp. trying to find out and run around. then i got raped by other player shooted me, look like a stupid people camping for killing a newbie ppl? cause it said PvE. all players can killing to other players. it called a PvP, not PvE. Well now got hour respawn. now wait? really? that's bs! well gg that's poorly game.

Jan 4, 2013ATTENTION: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
The developers are straight out lying, and the game is NOT finished AT ALL. This is nothing but a quick cash grab. If you have bought this game, get you money back as soon as possible -
Dec 18, 2012
Mar 7, 2013Its mechanical foundation - like this Foundation Release - crumbles at the lightest touch. [March 2013, p.94]
Feb 22, 2013The War Z has about as much value as its crappy in-game melee weaponry and that's not much at all. At least it doesn't cost anything to play after you buy it, and the cash shop items are fair enough, so you won't see people running around with machine guns just because they spent money. If you're going to give your money to a zombie-survival game, grab ArmA II and a copy of the DayZ mod, or wait for the full retail version of DayZ to arrive on digital store shelves and check that out. Do not buy into The War Z.
Feb 5, 2013The War Z might use the same elements that make DayZ an enthralling experience. But it puts them together so halfheartedly that you have to turn away in disbelief.

All you Javascript crazed developers out there, this is the group for you.
Drupal is in need of some usability improvements and after a few meetings and a lot of discussion, it is now time to take advantage of our new JQuery library in Drupal.
Future of javascript in Drupal 8
In an effort to make JS performance and management better, I've made a few propositions about the way Drupal deals with javascript.

Lets pretty up the JS groups homepage
The JavaScript tag in core issues
Lately I've been trying to get more involved with all the JavaScript issue on drupal. While doing this I noticed that a lot of the JavaScript issues where tagged differently.
The different tags being jQuery, Ajax, JavaScript, JS (actually JS is only in 3 issues ;-) but still).
I think we should start tagging all JS issues with the JavaScript tags. Essentially if a JS file is touch the JavaScript tag should be added to the issue. This would make it super simple for anyone interested in JavaScript specific issues to be able to find them all.

introduce a high performance free hosting (for drupal)--sae---a GAE like China project , i just finished deploy drupal 6 there
ok , example first to prove that i am telling the truth : http://trackself.sinaapp.com/ just feel its speed!
1.SAE: sina app engine , belong to sina.com (China), it's a service like google app engine ,but provide PHP hosting and mysql hosting and more! well , i think it's better than GAE, because i only know php but not python/java. It declare itself cloud service. And better than GAE, it use SVN.
2.Since it offer php and mysql hosting , drupal can be hosted. But a little hack to install.php , nothing more hack

Full detailed profile on Nicole Walker Layton Roberts Kiriakis DiMera Played by Arianne Zucker on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Arianne Zuker (Matthew Mitchell)
Birthday: June 3 1974 |
At the hospital, Nicole almost spills the truth about the baby switch. Lexi arrives and interrupts, saying Sydney had a little reflux, but she's going to be fine, but she needs to know Nicole's medical history in order to ensure she can treat Sydney properly. Lexi asks if there were pregnancy or birth abnormalities. There were none, says Nicole, and tells her she's pretty sure there are no other issues in her family. When Lexi comments it could be SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), Nicole faints and when she comes to, almost tells EJ the truth again. Stefano's arrival stops her. He wants to know what's going on with Sydney. He accuses Nicole of being an irresponsible idiot. "What did you do to her?" He demands. Nicole leaves while EJ explains this is nobody's fault. He yells at Stefano for his cruelty. Lexi interrupts and has tips for the new parents to ensure the baby will stay healthy. She allows them to see Sydney, while Stefano tells Lexi there is something nefarious about Nicole and he plans to find out what it is. Lexi blasts Stefano for causing issues and he agrees to apologize. Meanwhile, Nicole and EJ kiss and hold Sydney, happy she's well. EJ leaves the room momentarily, and while he returns, unnoticed, he overhears Nicole tell Sydney that mommy's secret is safe forever. EJ enters the room and asks what they were discussing. "Girl stuff," says Nicole and EJ shows Nicole the discharge papers. EJ kisses Nicole and they leave.
Dr. Baker shows up at Nicole's door, unexpectedly. Nicole's not happy about it!
EJ continues to accuse Brady of wrongdoing, at the mansion. Nicole yells from the other room that something's wrong with Sydney. She's not breathing. EJ and Brady run into the great room and after they notice Sydney is struggling to breathe, they all rush to the hospital.
Nicole, EJ and Brady wind up at University Hospital and Lexi takes Sydney, who is gasping for air. EJ holds Nicole, who flashes back to the baby switch. EJ goes off to get tea for Nicole, while Nicole tells Brady this is her fault. He disagrees and tells her to focus on the baby. Nicole feels she's being punished for the baby switch. Brady hugs Nicole, causing EJ to watch, suspiciously. EJ throws Brady out of the hospital, but Brady tells EJ that being a friend is part of his 12 step program. EJ calls him an idiot and orders him out. Brady leaves and Nicole says she's the fool, not Brady. She blames herself and begins to cry, saying she can't keep him in the dark anymore.
Brady arrives at the DiMera mansion and finds Nicole with Sydney. He's in shock. He hadn't seen her in a while and can't believe she did it. She tells him Sydney Anne DiMera is Mia's baby and asks him to keep quiet. She asks for his support. He tells her that her nightmare is just beginning. This is criminal. EJ arrives home and wonders what's going on with Nicole and Brady. She lies that they were arguing about vaccinations. EJ asks why Brady came. Nicole says he stopped by to wish her luck because he thought she was still pregnant. Brady agrees. He starts to walk away and EJ says he has a knack for bringing people down. Brady apologizes for intruding, but EJ doesn't like him being around. Nicole tells EJ there's nothing untoward going on but the baby cries and she has to take care of her.
EJ watches Sydney sleep and tells her she's beautiful. Nicole arrives, crying happy tears. EJ thinks Sydney looks like her. Nicole takes a call from Mia, who is packed for Japan but wanting to know how the baby is and what her name is. After Nicole tells her, she hangs up and EJ asks who she was speaking with. Nicole ignores the question and Stefano arrives with congratulations and meets Sydney. He thinks she looks exactly like 'Giovanni'. Nicole stammers and they discuss how easy and fast Nicole says the birth was. Stefano is upset and rants and raves that EJ wasn't there and that she didn't give birth at University, where he donated a wing, just for his grandchild. Nicole tells him that's enough!
Back at the mansion, Nicole tells Stefano that the drama is over, but Stefano wants to investigate the clinic. He assumes she's hiding something. Nicole doesn't want him breathing down her neck and yells that she'd rather live in a mobile home than go through this all the time. Stefano laughs. "I see that motherhood has softened you." Nicole means it, she says, causing Stefano to tell her that's one of the reasons why he likes her. EJ laughs, admitting he loves when Nicole puts Stefano in his place. Both EJ and Stefano leave as Chloe shows up. After seeing the baby, Chloe blurts out that she's been seeing Daniel, yet she loves Lucas. She's torn and not sure what to do. Nicole asks how many times they were together. Chloe admits more than once. Nicole realizes Chloe can't end it and wonders if this is about being free. "You love Lucas, but not enough to belong to him for the rest of your life." Chloe confesses that Maggie knows and she's not sure what she'll do about it. Chloe professes to love Lucas and marriage to him would be a dream. Nicole urges her to make it happen. She almost owns up to the baby switch, causing Chloe to ask, "Nicole, what did you do?"
Nicole and EJ arrive home with their daughter from the hospital. Nicole thinks about how messed up her childhood was. EJ is sure this means she will be a better mother for it. He's never met another kind, gentle person as her and calls their daughter a tough one. EJ goes to another room, momentarily, and Nicole gets a call from Mia, checking in on the baby. Nicole is not pleased to hear from her and coldly asks what she wants. Mia just wanted to hear how the baby was doing and says she got a clean bill of health. She thanks Nicole for the money. She's leaving for Japan tomorrow. She hears the baby cry and is immediately touched. She starts to cry and Nicole ends the call. EJ brings them full champagne glasses and they toast to happiness.
Nicole and EJ have a doctor in to examine the baby, and the child is given a clean bill of health. The doctor wants to have her and Nicole in for blood typing, but Nicole is against the idea. She hates the idea of their daughter being used as a pincushion. The doctor asks for her blood type. Nicole says she's B+ and this is good news, apparently. Nicole discusses nursing and admits she's not comfortable with it. She plans to bottle-feed. The doctor and EJ disagree, but EJ knows it's Nicole's choice. EJ is confused. He thought she wanted to breast-feed. "I did." EJ asks what changed. Her milk didn't come in; she lies and tells him it's not for her. He thinks it's because she doesn't want to get up for the first 3:00 AM feeding, and they both laugh. Nicole offers him a bottle and he feeds the baby as Nicole watches, lovingly. EJ notices the baby furrow her brow and wonders where he's seen that before. Nicole has seen it on EJ, she says, and she points out that as long as she's happy and healthy, she doesn't care who she takes after. They decide to name her. EJ reads from a baby book, "Jensen. Adele, Erin…"
Back at the mansion, Nicole and EJ continue to name Sami and EJ's child. "Shelby, Sadie, Susan…" EJ reads. They like Susan, after EJ's mother, but move on. Nicole likes Sydney. They try it out and EJ calls this the happiest day of his life. He gets a call from work but refuses to take it. Instead, he tells Nicole he loves her and their daughter, Sydney.

The New Hope and Ivyland Railroad (reporting mark NHRR)[1] is a shortline railroad in Pennsylvania. It also operates a heritage railroad, offering passenger excursions.
The NHRR provides contract track and locomotive services to freight and passenger railroads in North America and has been involved with various film and television commercial projects.
NHRR is involved in the import and export of raw materials and manufactured products. Freight customers range from national chemical companies to consumer product manufacturers. NHRR interchanges with Pennsylvania Northeastern Railroad in Warminster, which in turn interchanges with CSX Transportation in Lansdale. NHRR's primary customers are based in Warminster; CRC Industries and Double H Plastics are served on a weekly basis.
Heritage operations utilize steam and diesel locomotives, and depart from either New Hope or Lahaska. The typical NHRR excursion usually consists of one First Class parlor car, one coach car and in the summer through to October, an open-air observation car. The makeup of the consist is changed from time to time as operations require. The regular NHRR excursion is 45 minutes long with trains running every hour on the hour between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM (5:00 PM on weekends) during the summer months.
In addition to New Hope-Lahaska service, NHRR also operates Easter, fall foliage, Halloween and Santa trains. NHIR occasionally operates as far as Warminster — a distance of 32 miles (51 km) — to connect with SEPTA's Warminster Line. Yearly trains to Lansdale have started as an as a special on the NHRR. They occur every August.
The NHRR also offers a host of special excursions throughout its operating season. On weekends between May and October, the NHRR operates wine and cheese tasting trains dubbed the Grapevine Express. On select weekends, the railroad runs its Evening Star Dinner Train between New Hope and Buckingham Valley.
The NHRR was originally known as the New Hope Branch of the Reading Company (RDG), which leased the North Pennsylvania Railroad, of which it was a part. The railroad ran as far as Hartsville Station (near Bristol Road) until March 29, 1891, when the line was extended to the long-desired terminal of New Hope, Pennsylvania.[2]
A decade after June 1952, when Hatboro-New Hope passenger service terminated, the RDG's financial situation was precarious. Looking to rid themselves of unprofitable branch lines via abandonment, a group of train buffs and businessmen led by Philadelphia attorney Kenneth Souser — established as Steam Trains, Inc. — were seeking to operate steam trains on a for-profit basis.[3] Steam Trains, Inc. became organized as the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad, and on June 20, 1966, the 16.7 mile line was sold for $200,000.[2]
Steam Trains, Inc. started their operations on a high note, often in an extravagant fashion. The company leased freight locomotives from the RDG, and used only hired labor to operate their excursions. The "air rights" over the Southern portion of the line from Ivyland to just North of Almshouse Road, were sold to the former Philadelphia Electric Company (now Exelon) in order to stay solvent. Steam Trains, Inc. declared bankruptcy on June 5, 1970.[2] Operations continued under a court appointed trustee.
The Bucks County Industrial Development Corporation (BCIDC) purchased the trackage from the Steam Trains, Inc. in early 1974 to "preserve rail service through the center of Bucks County."[4] The county selected McHugh Brothers Heavy Hauling, Inc. to operate freight service over the line via a lease agreement.[2] McHugh Brothers continued hauling freight with Edward L. McHugh as president until his departure in 1989.[4] By the summer of 1976, the railroad receive state funding to rehabilitate crumbling infrastructure that sorely needed fixing. By August 1977, volunteers from the Buckingham Valley Trolley Association [BVTA] (now the Electric City Trolley Museum Association) were operating state-sponsored passenger service connecting the touristy town of New Hope with SEPTA/Conrail commuter trains at Warminster.[2] Bucks County had made a wise investment, as both passenger and freight service flourished during the 1970s once track upgrades were made. Finally, on June 30, 1979, the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad finally emerged from its decade-long bankruptcy.[4]
Beginning July 3, 1980, volunteers of the New Hope Steam Railway (NHSR) resumed weekend excursion service after the BVTA decided to end it. The NHSR ran trains under a lease agreement with the BCIDC until 1990, when the line and its equipment were once again in a state of decay and disrepair.[4] The McHugh Bros. operated the NHRR until 1989 when their lease ended and the Morristown & Erie was contracted to operate the railroad.[3] The BCIDC sold the line outright to the for-profit Bucks County Railroad Preservation and Restoration Corporation (BCRP&RC) in 1990, who slowly began to rebuild the railroad to its current state of good repair. BCRP&RC is the official corporate structure, doing business as the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad.
Perils of Pauline[edit]
In 1914, a segment of the classic silent film The Perils of Pauline was filmed on the tracks used by the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad today. The particular part was on the north side of the 1891 built Ingham Creek trestle bridge, notably one of NHRR's highest bridges on the whole line. The site has also been dubbed "Pauline's Trestle" because of the bridge's association to the silent movie.
Stations and trackage[edit]
The NHRR is a single-track railroad with passing sidings at Lahaska, Buckingham Valley, Wycombe and Ivyland. Only Wycombe and Lahaska have their run-around tracks cleared because Lahaska is used for daily excursion trips so that locomotives can uncouple and head back to New Hope on the opposing side of the train, and dinner trains usually head to Wycombe to give patrons a better view of the line beyond Lahaska. The same idea applies to Lahaska; the locomotive uncoupled from one side of the train and couples to the other side then reversing back to New Hope. All other sidetracks, run-arounds, passing sidings, and sidings are primarily used for the storage of maintenance rail cars, out-of-service passenger cars and freight cars. At Buckingham Valley, the railroad's small fleet of historic freight cars is stored, along with any borrowed maintenance equipment, and number of former Long Island Railroad commuter coaches stored in case they are ever needed. An additional stub siding still exists at Wycombe, formerly the team track for offloading less-than-carload shipments to local businesses. It has been used for decades to store the remains of a number of coaches from earlier days of passenger operation, including a former Belfast & Moosehead Lake wooden baggage car still stenciled for the New Hope Steam Railway, for which there are no plans for restoration.
No block signalization exists on the NHRR; however, almost all highway grade crossings have been modernized with full signals and gates.
The stations along the NHRR were:
- New Hope (32 West Bridge Street in downtown New Hope. Located about 100 feet north of its original location and in use as NHRR ticket office.)
- Huffnagle/Hood(in Solebury Township)
- Reeder (on Reeder Road in Solebury Township)
- Lahaska (Current station built by NH&I RR in the 1990s on Street Road in Buckingham Township. The original Reading Company station, built to the same design as the Wycombe station, was moved less than a mile away for use as a private home in the 1950s and has since had its distinctive "Witches Hat" removed during a renovation.)
- Bycot (on Holicong Road in Buckingham Township, a small recent building exists there)
- Buckingham Valley built by The Reading Company "Iron Side" in the late 19th century. Original structure demolished in 1953. The current station was moved from the Pickering Branch near Phoenixville, PA in the 1970s. The station is located on Upper Mountain Road just off of PA 413 in Buckingham Township)
- Montessori School (located south of Creek Road)
- Wycombe (on Township Line Road in Buckingham Township)
- Rushland (on Rushland Road in Wrightstown Township) Only surviving original station on the New Hope branch to lack a "Witches Hat" style telegraph office. Freight station built from converted Reading 40-foot wooden boxcar # 13914 still stands as well.)
- Grenoble (on Grenoble Road in Northampton Township)
- Traymore (at Creek Road and Mearns Road in Warwick Township)
- Ivyland (where Ivyland Road becomes Wilson Avenue at Greeley Avenue in Ivyland, station building reportedly still stands in an unknown location [5])
- Bonair (approximately where the current Warminster train station is located)
- Indented stations no longer exist
Locomotives used in the excursion passenger service is usually provided by steam locomotive #40, a 2-8-0 1925 Baldwin wheel arrangement. #40 (ex-Cliffside Railroad) is supplemented by diesel powered locomotives primarily for freight operations. The current active diesel roster consists of EMD GP30 #2198 (ex-PRR), GE C30-7 #7087 (ex-CSX), and EMD SD40-2 #5577 (ex-Canadian Pacific).
Passenger excursions typically consist of 3-4 former RDG coaches built between 1913 and 1927; total NHRR passenger car count is 24, 9 of which are currently in service. The only locomotives owned by the corporate structure of the NHRR are #40 and #1533. All diesels are owned by a privately held company (Rail Power Inc.) and leased to the operation. Rail Power Inc. is owned by three NHRR employees and also owns subsidiary Pennsylvania Northeastern's locomotives.

Purchase Reason
Very well done, kind of a 'moody' feel to it for me. We love the colors, and the sage-ish matte works perfectly with it. A good choice for our transitional style dining room, now the challenge is finding a companion piece. The frame we chose was good quality, though I wish it were mitered a bit better.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Danica aware of Phoenix challenges
AVONDALE, Ariz.
If a driver is only as good as his or her last race, then Danica Patrick deserves to be ranked among the top 10 in the Sprint Cup Series — for now.
NASCAR on FOX brings live coverage of the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Patrick's 2013 coming-out party at Daytona International Speedway was impressive. She started from the pole, led five laps and ran more circuits (113) among the top-three positions than any other driver before finishing eighth.
"This is kind of where the bulk of the season really starts," Patrick said. "Things like being able to get up to speed quickly, knowing what I want in the car, how to push it to its limit and what its limit is are things that are going to begin to be tested now. That's something that you don't really face at Daytona."
But she did on Friday — particularly after qualifying 40th of 43 cars with a lap of 132.890 mph. As Patrick knows, the style of racing at Phoenix International Raceway is completely different.
"It just wasn't great," Patrick said. "We kind of had a similar issue in practice as well. Just couldn't get the back end to settle down. The first qualifying run, we felt OK. It was just a little tight. The second run, it was just moving around too much and had the same problem in the qualifying run."
Mark Martin earned his 56th career Sprint Cup pole with a speed 138.074 mph. Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five in time trials.
Patrick will be the first to say that despite calling Arizona home, she never really acclimated to Phoenix International Raceway until last fall.
"I just couldn't get the hang of it," Patrick said. "I came here many times, and continued to kind of suck. I feel like at the end of the year was more of a breakthrough in the Nationwide car, and also in the Cup car, it was a good weekend. The best weekend I'd had in a Cup car."
Last February's trip to Phoenix wasn't Patrick's finest moment. She acknowledged "that frustration and exhaustion" from a bad experience during Daytona Speedweeks carried over to the next week and affected her results.
When Patrick returned to PIR in November, however, she posted a career-best 10th in the Nationwide Series on the one-mile track and had a solid follow-up the next day in Cup.
Still, as part of her stock-car development, Patrick is learning to be more accepting of the setbacks that accompany her stock car training.
"Coming here again in the Nationwide car for the third or fourth time and being like 20th, and just feeling really kind of bad about myself, and storming off from all of (the media) from pit lane, and deciding that I didn't finish well enough to answer any questions. It is a different perspective. I feel just a little more mature. I feel like even if it would have been a weekend, I was more prepared to handle it.
"But, at this point in time, understanding that it is a whole new race, completely different track, and this is when the real season starts. Maybe I guess coming away feeling a little bit more calm, or humble, or understanding the ebb and flow of racing. I think that comes from having a good team around me that helps me understand that we are going to have good and bad weekends, and we are going to stay together no matter what happens."
No doubt, Patrick's on track support system, led by veteran crew chief Tony Gibson, will come in handy as she transitions from the high banks of Daytona to relatively flat, short track. Patrick also will have to deal with the challenges of a new car — the Generation 6 — along with the introduction of a new tire from Goodyear.
Still, the opportunity to work with Gibson at PIR last year should offer the team a solid baseline to build on.
"We can kind of pick up where we left off," Patrick said. "I feel like we were pretty decent at the end of the race. Is qualifying on the pole, and leading laps what we should be thinking based on last weekend? No. I think we need to keep realistic expectations, and I think everybody else does too."
Kahne says he can "definitely feel the difference" with new tire compound Goodyear debuted at PIR this weekend.
Kahne, who will start on the front row with Martin for Sunday's Subway 500, says the sensation was the most prominent off the wall down to the white line — or the "lowest point in the corners, through the load area."
"I felt that tire a lot," Kahne said. "It moves more, to me. And I've been trying to figure out which tire. Left front, right front; which one it is that I'm kind of feeling the most there. But left-sides or right-sides.
"But there is definitely a difference and a feeling that I haven't had in the past. We also have so many differences with the car this year compared to what we were last year when we were here in November. So, there are some variables. But I think the tire is a big part of that and something that I feel."
Goodyear tested the tires at Phoenix on Oct. 23-24. This particular compound was developed to provide more grip. The Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will use the same tires this weekend.
For Aric Almirola, who is running double duty for Richard Petty Motorsports during Michael Annett's recovery from last Saturday's Nationwide Series wreck, the extra seat should offer a better understanding of the tire.
"Maybe we can pick up information on air pressures or tire strategy," Almirola said. "But any time I get to race, I'm happy."
Kahne also hopes to learn more about this tire during Cup practice on Saturday and in Sunday's race.
"I look forward to Sunday's race," Kahne said. "I want it to be from the bottom to three-quarters up the track, and can pass and all that. Hopefully the tire allows us to do that."
Suffering from the flu was the least of Kurt Busch's problems on Friday after a water line burst during his second lap of qualifying and sent the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevy SS into the Turn 4 wall.
"Something let go," Busch said after the wreck. "The car just steered right."
Once NASCAR inspected the damage, the Furniture Row team promptly pulled out a backup car, and Busch will start from the rear of the field on Sunday.
2: Poles in the Phoenix Spring Event — in as many races for Mark Martin.
3: Hendrick Motorsports Chevys qualified in the top five.
4 hours, 19 minutes: The time it took Jeff Burton's car to clear inspection and line up for qualifying.
11th: The fastest Ford — Brad Keselowski's.
12th: The fastest rookie — Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Clint Bowyer after qualifying 13th on Friday:
"We weren't very good today. First day of school, we got an 'F.' The good news is there's a lot more days of school."

Hola Mohalla or Hola Mahalla or simply Hola is a Sikh festival that takes place on the first of the lunar month of Chet. This date usually falls in the month of March according to the Gregorian calendar. The festival takes place one day prior to Holi and is celebrated over three days . This colourful festival is associated with displays of mock fights, weapons, exhibitions, kirtan, music and poetry competitions. The festival is celebrated largely throughout Punjab and in all places across the world where Sikhs reside. This festival is celebrated extensively over three days mainly at the Anandpur Sahib Gurudwara where this festival is said to have originated. Holla is a derivative of a Punjabi term meaning onset of attack or frontal assault. Together the words "Hola Mohalla" stands for "mock fight". This festival was to give a masculine touch to the so called feminine festival Holi.
Hola Mohalla 2015 Date : When is Hola Mohalla?
- In 2012 Hola Mohalla was on March 9
- In 2013 Hola Mohall was on March 28

This festival was initiated by Guru Gobind Singh in February 1701. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru and his force were in war with the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb and the Rajputs and the guru had recently found the Khalsa Panth. On 22nd February, 1701, Guru Gobind Singh started a new tradition of dedicating a day for military exercises and mock battles. The guru made this festival as an occasion for the Sikhs to demonstrate their martial skills in simulated battles and to fortify the Sikh community. This day falls on the day following the festival of Holi. Guru Sahib told the Sikhs wake up to their responsibility and duty and used the opportunity to train his forces in the art of warfare. The military exercise was carried out on the bed of the River Charan Ganga. The event was first held in Holgarh Fort at Anandpur sahib. This tradition of practicing mock battles has gradually spread to Kiratpur Sahib. This festival now is also replicated in Gurdwara Sahibs throughout the world.
How is Hola Mohalla Celebrated?
This festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and is filled with merriment and joy. This festival celebrates the bravery and valour of Sikhs in the battlefield. During Holla Mohalla early morning prayers are held in the gurudwaras. Guru Granth Sahib is read and kirtans are sung. In the evening martial members of the Sikh community called Nihang Sikhs who are part of the Sikh army that Guru Gobind Singh founded, display their physical strength and martial skills through acts like mock-battles (Gatka), sword-fighting displays, archery and horse riding exercises. Dressed in new saffron or deep blue robes the Nihang Sikhs display their preparedness for war by demonstrating their skills in various types of weaponry.
