Hi: I'm hoping there is an additional rating from a reply.
On debt where both names are XXXXX XXXXX and there's a BK from wife, can husband:
Settle with credit card/financing co's, if that company agrees? In other words, husband is already working on negotiated settlement, can he include in those terms that her bk not go on his record -- that just the fact he's renegotiated if goes on record?
If house is short-sold with a deficiency on the 2nd line (not sure if she's on it or not), does that go on credit report (in general).
Does her BK show up on his if she files bk?

Investigating the Cold Chain Part 3
It was really amazing to see the cold chain in action while in Sudan a few weeks ago. It is even more amazing when you realize all the effort that goes in to making it successful. When Dr. Barbara Connor and Don Cross of the John Dau Sudan Foundation returned from their trip, I asked them about the process and to give some details on how the cold chain for the Duk Lost Boys Clinic was designed and implemented:
On our first visit to Duk Payuel, Dr. Reed and I realized that vaccinations are a crucial need in that area, for basic protection against preventable diseases that kill patients. Thus, the cold chain became a priority in our goals for the clinic. We were fortunate enough to receive a donation through John Dau's hard work, from the Sleeping Ladies that allowed the cold chain to become a reality.
Ultimately we are looking to the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) or other NGO's such as UNICEF to supply the vaccines to the clinic free of charge, but for establishing the feasibility of the cold chain we needed to prove that the vaccines could be kept at the proper temperature throughout the entire time of their transit to the clinic. Vaccines are very temperature sensitive, and the temperature at which they are kept cannot vary outside the range of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, or the vaccines become inactivated, and are not effective. This is monitored very carefully in the US in pharmacies and doctor's office, and in New York state at least, the state government audits organizations handling vaccines to ensure compliance with those storage and transport requirements for vaccines. The US pharmacist at my hospital records the temperature of the refrigerator that stores only vaccines, twice a day, and the state checks those records. We are expecting our clinic to meet all US standards for the practice of medicine, so we will be following those procedures for vaccines as well.
So we set out to figure out how to bring vaccines to the clinic and keep them the proper temperature from Skaneateles NY to Duk Payuel, throughout two days of flying. It was complicated by the fact that any cold packs that we would use are considered "gels", so they could not be hand carried through security. I had to check a bag in Syracuse, and have it stay cold until Nairobi, and then in Nairobi check on it again, and make sure that it could stay cold all the way to Duk Payuel the next day, even on the Duk Payuel airstrip that has no shade and temps are in the 100's in the shade. That' s why I'm so happy in the video. We did it!!
Don Cross was able to find special thermometers that recorded high and low temperatures, inside and outside of the container, and they were very useful,and are the thermomters that we will use to monitor the temperatures. I had also purchased an inexpensive refrigerator thermomter from Lowe's as a back up, but it only told me the current temp inside the cooler.
So we ordered fifty tetanus vaccines that could be given to pregnant women and children older than the age of 7, from my hospital, at wholesale price. With careful packing of a cooler within a cooler, that was then placed inside a silver insulated envelope used to keep pharmaceuticals cold, and then surrounded by pharmaceutical grade cold gel packs that were frozen at the outset, we were able to keep the vaccines at the proper temperature throughout the 3 flights to Nairobi. (Syracuse to Detroit 2 hrs, plus layover; then Detroit to Amsterdam 8 hours plus layover; then Amsterdam to Nairobi 8 hours plus layover). Once we reached Nairobi, we had a short "overnight" of about 6 hours at the Mayfield guest house. There we took down the cooler and refroze the ice packs, and checked the temperature. In the morning we repacked the cooler within a cooler with the refrozen ice packs.
The rest you can see from the video: we were ecstatic that the transport worked. And perhaps you'll even be able to see in the video, that on the airstrip Don Cross was careful to move the cooler with the vaccines under the shade of the airplane wing, to keep it a tad cooler as we received the wonderful warm reception from the villagers and staff.
So at the clinic now, we have one refrigerator that will be used only for vaccines. It will be kept locked, and will be monitored for temperature twice a day by our pharmacist. The staff understand that part of the cold chain is that vaccines-only must be kept in that refrigerator, so they will never place any personal items in that refrigerator.
AIM AIR is familiar with the concept and use of the cold chain, and will assist us in any future transport of vaccines or medicines or reagents that use the cold chain. And also the company MEDS in Nairobi that is our medication supplier has its own cold chain system at their company and they are equipped to send us medicines or reagents using the cold chain. Dan Friedman and I got to tour the MEDS facility and see their cold chain. Looking to the future we may be able to do blood transfusions, now that we have the cold chain, as the reagents and blood must be kept cold too, but that will be another refrigerator, and another chapter!
- Dr. Barbara Connor
Don Cross then goes on to explains how they pulled it off technically:
I worked with a variety of solar and refrigeration equipment suppliers
in the US and in Africa to sort out "best practices" and equipment for
this project.
Once the funding became available we wasted no time because we already
had a "system" designed (on paper) and once we knew we were going
forward, I was able to earnestly get best prices and secure the purchase
of all needed items through one supplier: Center for Alternative
Technologies - "CAT" in Nairobi Kenya.
We agreed on price- transferred funds and then awaited delivery to Aim
Air freight depot at Wilson Airport in Nairobi on Feb 10th - the day I
left the US to go to Sudan.
I met the CAT engineers at Aim Air on Feb 12th and went over the entire
system including the wiring schematics and was fully briefed on all
parts and their functions prior to loading them onto a Cessna Caravan
which took most of the afternoon.
By 5PM the plane was packed full of the refrigerators, solar panels,
wind turbine, the electronic controllers, the 6 gel cell (100 lb)
batteries, cables, turbine mast, steel framework for the roof, AND 1000
mosquito nets totaling over 1250 kgs. There were only 2 seats in the
plane: one for the pilot and one for me the rest was equipment and nets.
We took off for Sudan early on Friday (Feb 13th) with a planned fuel
stop in Loki.
We landed around 1PM to a big crowd of villagers and clinic staff who
took on the task of carrying all of the equipment and the bags of tools
and my belongings from the airstrip to the clinic about 1/2 mile away. I
have some pictures of all the items being carried by the "human conveyor
belt" procession of men, women, and children in an almost continuous
line stretching from the airstrip to the clinic along a hot dusty
footpath in the midday sun.
I spent the next 2 weeks assembling the components and getting them
mounted, wired, and tested in anticipation of the arrival of REAL
Our temperature limits (per established "cold-chain" protocol) were from
2 to 8 degrees C. (35 to 46 degrees F).
We filled water jugs to simulate a "warm load" and loaded the 8 cu.ft.
fridges and within 4 hours all were below 8 degrees C and they stayed in
the desired range after that - night and day. We are using max/min
digital thermometers with memory to track daily performance and insure
proper operation.
I purposely oversized the solar components so that they would be able
provide electricity even in the rainy season. The first morning after we
started the system, I was in the building checking the controllers and
we were actually generating electricity BEFORE sunup in the early
The wind turbine was really an experiment meant to see if the rainy
season 30 knot + winds will be able yield any meaningful generation. We
did get output in the breezes that daily blew over the clinic, but solar
is so plentiful that any wind power was really not needed.
Should the turbine really give us reliable source of power in the rainy
season we may someday increase size and get one that can actually be
useful for clinic operations.
Our goal is to make the clinic GREEN by adding more solar to run clinic
and also the well pump and remove the need for the diesel generator
(except for emergencies). Of course this will take funding and we are
actively pursuing this at the moment for next year.

Mediterranean by the Sea
Open House
5204 Chelsea St., La Jolla, Calif.
STATS: A 6,733-square-foot home with five bedrooms and 7½ bathrooms, asking $7.5 million, or $1,113.91 a square foot. Property taxes in 2011 are $28,019.52.
DETAILS: This Mediterranean-style house was built in 1993 on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. The original owners had the notes and lyrics to the song "Beyond the Sea" hand-painted on tiles going up the main stairs. In the garden is a cast iron hitching post with a horse head that the original owners brought from their Victorian house in Brooklyn. They had also brought a stained-glass window, but that's moving back to New York and staying in the family. The home also has an elevator to all four levels. The property includes a pool, a spa, an outdoor kitchen and 90-feet of ocean frontage.
SELLER: Heidi Brown, a stagehand on Broadway in New York.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Check out the pandas at the San Diego Zoo, about 25 minutes away.
WHAT I PAID: Ms. Brown inherited the house from her aunt and uncle, who died in February within two weeks of each other after almost 61 years of marriage. She estimates that they spent more than $2 million on the house and the land.
WHY I'M SELLING: Ms. Brown and her husband live in New York and aren't ready to retire, so they're selling the house. Also, Ms. Brown says the home is too big for them. "It's very hard to let go of the house, it's very painful," says Ms. Brown. "It's not just a house when people that you loved lived there."
WHAT I'LL MISS: "The house was so much my aunt and uncle, I'll miss their presence," says Ms. Brown. She says that she will also miss watching the pelicans and the surfers and listening to the sounds of the ocean. "The outside stops my heart every time I see it," she says.
WHAT I WON'T: "How big it is and it all has to be cleaned," says Ms. Brown. "Everyone fantasizes about a giant house, but it's a lot of work to clean."
OTHERS SAY: Cindy Davis of Windermere Signature Properties says the house is priced in the right range considering the 90 feet of ocean frontage, the views and the floor plan. "It's priced well considering it has that bluff," she says. "That's very special." She adds that she could see the sale price being between $6 million and $7.5 million. Listing agent Irene McCann of Coldwell Banker says the quality of the construction and the location justify the price. "You couldn't build this house today," says Ms. McCann, noting that people are no longer allowed to build so close to the slope down to the ocean. Coldwell Banker's Maria Weiss shares the listing.

Since the very beginning of my Flash coder career (at the time actionscript didn't even exist) in 2000, one aspect I always loved about this tool is the possibility to mix in one environment both the creative/design side and the technical side of a project.
During the following years many new features were added, expanding continuously its creative potential and it became the de facto standard in web development
Alongside the evolution of the tool, also the role of the flasher changed from a "do it all" developer to many different specialized roles.
The coder
Among those there is also the role I play in my daily work, the coder.
Today projects such as the ones featured on the FWA are the result of the work of teams that mix the capabilities of many different professionals such as creatives, art directors, designers, animators, producers and obviously (at least for me and for the topic of this article) coders.
From such a team great creative ideas are born that can push Flash to the limit of its possibilities and are for a coder a big challenge.
Every new project is a new experience and an intensive learning process that requires often to bring new solutions to never seen before problems. Often there is no documentation about the problems the coder is experiencing and the only possible way to solve them is experimenting, looking for the best approach.
The coder's role
The Flash coder role is to transform the idea into something real and fully functional, putting together all the media produced by the team, trying to reach a result as close as possible to the initial concept, integrating and controlling them so that the site will work smoothly.
The level of consistency with the original idea depends on a series of key factors.
One of the most important is how "crazy" and hard to make is this idea.
Sometimes creatives can conceive situations and related interactions so complicated that it may be necessary do simplify them to avoid facing some problems related for example to excessive resource usage on the client computer or (and this is another key factor) because there is not enough time or budget to develop them completely.
It's all about challenges, great minds and nice people
There are different challenges to work with each component of the team, depending on what is his role; sometimes the same person can also play 2 or more roles, depending on the project.
Being the guy that puts together all the pieces, I need to get to know the basic aspects of the work of every component.
Working with creative people is often the more complicated part of the collaboration with the team.
There is always that "love and hate" feeling a coder, with his precise and logical mind, has for the unpredictability of the "opposite side".
Hate for illogic and crazy ideas hard to be ruled out in our code and love for the challenges that transform the very same ideas in a working site mean (after all you can't be a good coder if you don't love challenges).
Of course it's not real hate and after the hard work we all are happy for the nice result we achieved.
I have to say that I always appreciated working with creatives, I'm really envious of their capabilities.
With animators and designers even with all the big differences in our work, there are much less problems and discussions are usually related to what solution may be better to use to have smoother animations, effects or anything is needed in the site, where to use code or timeline animation.
Then there are the other tech people involved in the project, either other actionscript coders or other language programmers for both the server side and the client side.
Geek language
Being all geeks we all speak the same language, often unintelligibly to other people. They are also the people with whom I discuss when I'm facing big coding problems to solve, relying on their experience that is always helpful.
Producers are the ones I talk with more because of their role of keeping together and on track the team and staying in contact with the client.
Discussion is often about the situation of the development and about time estimates, trying to be on time for deliveries.
They are also the ones that are always there, with their continuous presence, especially during the last steps of the production when often all the work is only in my hands and I'm putting together all the parts for the final delivery.
Everyday I feel happy because I can work, discuss and learn with these great minded teams and, more importantly, nice people.
Relationships with these human beings is one of the great pros of this hard but satisfying work, my big thank you goes out to all of them.
But what does a coder do exactly during the development of a project?
During the early stages I give my contribution looking for the best technical solution for the problems the project we're going to develop could have, I suggest creative ideas based on my past experience in interaction development, I give my opinion about which animations would be better to do with code,
I estimate the development time.
It is also the time when I check if it is possible to develop some extreme code required by the project and in case it's not a viable option, suggest some good alternatives.
When the project gets approved by the client the real production begins and I choose the architecture I believe will fit better its needs.
I build the first code prototype making it as more open and generic as possible, and work with the creatives, designers and animators to find the right approach on every aspect of the site.
That's the time of long discussions about how to find a good usability, a cool interaction, amazing animations and everything the team conceives.
Coming together
Then comes the moment to produce all that was planned before for real, so it's time to design, animate and, in my case, code, code code. I spend the great part of the day programming and reading documentation.
Meanwhile the first animations start to come from the rest of the team and I begin to change them, sometimes heavily, to make them ready to be controlled by actionscript. I mix those animations with the code generated animations and slowly the site begins to come to life.
The creative process is a continuous evolution and this means the initial code planning I made will be soon outdated and I start to adapt it to new requirements.
Being able to create a code that is easy to adapt to these changes is very important. Anyway no matter how good I could be, it's very likely at least some of these situations are something I didn't think about at all!
Nearing the delivery date
As the delivery date is approaching the hardest part of the project life for a coder is starting, it's time to put together all the work of the team and finish up the site and it's very probable that at least one of the elements of the production chain will be late forcing me to be late too.
So I have to work very fast and often work long nights to be able to finish in time; no time for accurate planning of the code, I just look for the fastest, easiest and most reliable solution to any problem I encounter, balancing its pros and cons, knowing I will probably have to clean and optimize it later.
This situation can lead to potential bugs so I need to be also fast to find and fix them.
And the delivery day comes pretty quickly and it's time to deploy the site online and start the final debug.
The time required for it can vary a lot depending on how big and complicated the project is.
Bug checking
First come the more obvious bugs, the ones you can find easily and at the same time I optimize all those things I had to left behind.
At the end of this process the site is ready to go live (and ready to be submitted to the FWA :P ) and immediately some minor bugs will start to be found (especially when the project required a very complicated code) and it may require to deliver one or more bug-fix updates.
The project is now complete and it's time to get ready for the next challenge!
Nice story, but...
What aspects are more important in a coder?
During the past years I developed some rules to follow that help me to work better and to improve myself.
Or maybe it is just the way I see my work and the reason I love it.
Love for challenges
You'll face many challenges, get ready for them, Study, read documentation, and find out how other people have the same kind of problems, then have fun experimenting and try to find your own approach.
Even if no one faced the same problem with flash before, it's very probable you'll find something for other languages, learn from that and see if you can do the same thing.
Enjoy being pushed to the limit, because it's the best way to increase your skills.
You'll be asked to change the same part of the site over and over in many different ways and then to change it back again to the very first version, just to find the nicer result.
They (usually the creatives) are not asking it just to bother you, just to make a great work, and often you won't agree with the final choice.
Your work is to help the team to reach the best, do it, don't complain.
You are in the advertising industry and it is well know for its crazy rhythm. Be prepared to work a lot and at impossible working hours.
You'll be under pressure and in a rush continuously, you better love your work and be willing to spend a big part of your life doing it.
Give always your best, it will pay with better results.
Acceptance of your limits
You aren't and probably never will be a code guru; you have to live with it.
It will happen that you won't know how to solve a problem, try a different approach, try to make it simpler. If there is no solution, discuss it with the team, the creative idea can be changed to something you can do or if it is mandatory maybe you can get help from a better coder than you, don't miss the opportunity to learn from him or her.
Accept your limits and push your skills to a higher level every time you can.

Briggs & Stratton Powered StrollerWritten by Brandan Gillogly on August 21, 2013 Hot Rod Anything!
Harry Saldivar wanted to bring his young son Enzo to car shows in style. His first thought was a custom Radio Flyer wagon, but Harry decided he'd seen too many custom wagons at car shows, so he searched Craigslist for something different and turned up a vintage '60s stroller. The drop-top stroller uses a matching vintage engine, a Briggs & Stratton 3hp single-cylinder with a custom, polished velocity stack and copper header with megaphone. The chassis is handmade using a go-kart rear axle and front spindles with staggered whitewalls. Harry made a radiator, LED headlights, and the mini keg fuel tank. Next up might be a scalloped paintjob, or a steering wheel instead of the bicycle handlebars that turn the front wheels. Here's Harry and Enzo at this summer's Portland Roadster Show.
Do You Hot Rod Everything?

NOW SERVING: Blue Ribbon takes farm-to-table approach to pizza
The farm-to-table movement, with its emphasis on fresh and local ingredients, has made its way to the pizza oven with the recent opening of Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizzeria in Encinitas.
Blue Ribbon, owned and operated by Wade and Kristi Hageman, opened its doors June 18 to customers seeking pizza with high-quality ingredients.
After leaving his job last year as executive chef at the Solana Beach restaurant Blanca, Wade Hageman began looking for a new position. Through the process, he and Kristi decided to make their dream of owning their own restaurant come true.
"It was a blessing in disguise," he said. "I was forced to find the means to open my own restaurant."
Hageman said he enjoyed cooking at fine-dining restaurants, but many people couldn't afford the prices. He said Blue Ribbon has given him an outlet to serve the best ingredients at reasonable prices (the most expensive item on Blue Ribbon's menu is $15.50). Ingredients are seasonal and come from local companies and farms when possible. And he is the one preparing each pizza by hand, lining up as many as four pizzas for preparation and keeping an eye on as many as eight in the wood-fired oven. The personal attention means long hours at the restaurant in the Encinitas Lumberyard.
"It's worth it. I want my hands on everything," he said.
"Another thing about this concept is I wanted to cook again," Hageman said, noting that he was mostly left to oversee line cooks at other jobs.
Starting with a dough that's gone through a three-day fermentation process, pizzas are topped with a small array of common ingredients ---- fresh mozzarella handmade by Hageman, tomato sauce, homemade fennel sausage and artisan pepperoni are a few that show up on several pizzas ---- and placed in the wood-burning oven, which gets as hot as 1,200 degrees.
Pizzas focus on flavor rather than a pile of toppings (diners won't find barbecue chicken or Hawaiian pizzas on the menu, for example). Most pizzas have fewer than six toppings listed, ranging from tomato sauce and mozzarella to lemon zest and sea salt.
The three-day dough fermentation gives it a sour flavor, Hageman said, and changes the structure of the dough for texture. He described his finished dough as crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside.
"We're taking an artisan-bread approach to pizza dough," he said.
Popular pizzas are the Rustic (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fennel sausage and roasted peppers; $15) and My Father's (tomato sauce, fennel sausage, artisan pepperoni and red onion; $15.50).
Pizzas aren't the only thing on the menu, though. Popular appetizers include Local Yellowtail Crudo With Sea Salt, Citrus, Shaved Fennel And Lemon Olive Oil ($13.50) and the Blue Ribbon "Little Gems" Caesar Salad ($10). Blue Ribbon also offers a Sweet Corn Soup With Chili Oil ($9).
"It's very basic, just the best quality. I take a traditional approach to pizzas," said Hageman, who says his first job was at a pizza place, and he worked the pizza oven at Wolfgang Puck's Spago.
The San Diego-based husband-and-wife team work together each day in the restaurant. He creates pizzas near the back of the restaurant and she talks to customers as they arrive and takes finished pizzas to tables.
"She's more about the people, I'm more about the food," Hageman said. "That's why we work well."
Kristi Hageman has worked in the restaurant business for more than 20 years. Before she met Wade, she dreamed of opening a coffee shop.
"When I met him, it all changed," she said. "It's been worth all the time and effort. People are appreciating the love and work that goes into it."

Boogie Nights
For a big-name Atlanta developer and fan of the Bogie-Bergman classic Casablanca, there was never any doubt about this theater's design. "When we first started talking about it, we decided to model it after Rick's Café in the movie," says Scott Ross, president of Atlanta Home Theater. "The homeowner loved the wartime scenes and the cafe's open-air feel."
By design, the theater transports viewers to a faraway place and time. It's fronted with large, hand-carved mahogany entry doors that face a portrait of the film's famous last scene. The theater boasts another of the film's vignettes on the back wall: A pair of custom-made mahogany shutters that replicate a window in Rick's Café and conceal the wall-mounted Wilson WATCH speakers. The starry night sky above, anchored by Atlanta Home Theater's radical rendition of flying buttresses, twinkles over the masculine leather theater chairs by Palliser and contrasting leopard-print carpeting.
The coolest part of the project, however, is the system itself: "Anyone who watches a movie in that room is blown away by what the 7.2 system is capable of," Ross says. "When you're getting into that kind of reference-quality level, it's definitely not the norm." To fill the 600-square-foot room with sound, Atlanta Home Theater went with larger-than-norm Wilson Maxx III and Wilson WATCH speakers, accompanied by Velodyne subwoofers and Krell amps (the Krells are proudly positioned atop Billy Bags stands below the screen).

"To achieve really high-volume levels, we had to go with amps that were capable of pushing to that extreme," Ross says. The projector, Digital Projection's dVision 30 HD, couples with Screen Innovations' 160-inch TR160 display to provide a picture that would make Bogie blush.—C.D.
Custom Control
Change is often borne out of necessity. Or frustration.
Five years ago, when Atlanta Home Theater's Scott Ross was installing his own private home cinema, he designed a custom interface for the Crestron TPMC-8X touchpanel to operate his theater exactly the way he wanted. "I originally installed a standard interface and I couldn't stand it, so we created our own based on the way I felt it should be done. And it's been a success ever since—we use it for [the larger] theaters we design."
His custom solution: group everything—lighting, HVAC and security systems, blinds and all audiovisual options—on one touchscreen page for easy access and user sanity. "It takes about two minutes to learn how to operate our interface," he says. In many large theaters, Ross' company incorporates a headshot of every family member into the interface for quick access of their customized controls. When a 4-year-old, for example, touches her customized button, she's provided with the only two options she needs—an icon of a satellite receiver for watching TV, and an icon of a Blu-ray player for watching DVDs.
Today, Atlanta Home Theater's custom-designed interface has become its signature touch. EH

text: Good morning folks; I ran into some problems this AM on the commute. As I started to pedal my cranks turned, chain moved my rear cassette but the wheel did nothing. I'm thinking I "stripped" the rear hub. It would catch and I could pedal but it would slip often. On a second note it was really cold...16F. Perhaps the hub was wearing out and due to the cold the metal contracted just enough for the hub to slip. Do I need a new hub? new wheel ? It's an old late 80's cromo Specialize Stumpjumper. New bike? It is a beater. Thanks Charlie

Possible Implantation bleeding, but no other symptoms and negative test. Confused! Please help!
My husband and I just made a recent decision to start trying.My period is irregular but I want to say I started my last period some time around the beginning to mid of last month. It's now Aug 16 and no period yet. Being late means nothing to me since I am irregular, BUT last week I had a milky discharge with blood in it. It was definitely noticeable but only happened that one time. The next day when we got home from vacation, we ate pasta for dinner. About a hour later I had some serious heart burn and ended up throwing up. Both of these things are not normal for me. Being my impatient self, I took a test the morning after I threw up (now 2 days after spotting) and it was neg but it was probably too early to test. The only other potential symptom now is waves of heart burn/indgestion. I've also been needing to pee in the middle of the night. I could be making a big deal out of nothing and getting mine and my husband's hopes up but we would be happy if I got a +! Could I be pregnant??

Thanks for the reply! I just tested again this morning (now about a week out from the possible implantation bleeding) and got another negative. Ready to start again!posted 08/17/2013 by bambinohopeful
You could be! I would test again. You were probably testing too soon. It takes a few days after implantation to get a BFP on a HPT.posted 08/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Animal cruelty charges filed against Wyoming County horse owner
LEMON TWP. - Charges have been filed against a Wyoming County woman after an animal cruelty officer and a veterinarian determined four horses to be lacking adequate care.
Two of the horses - a mare named Sky and her foal born last spring - were seized Sept. 14 from a Lemon Twp. farm along Henry Holod Road belonging to Juanita Bolthouse, 48. The other two remain with Ms. Bolthouse, along with three additional horses in her care. The horses taken away "had urgent needs," said Sandy Scala, animal cruelty officer for the Endless Mountains Animal League.
In an affidavit of probable cause, Officer Scala wrote that she initially had seen a number of horses, including Sky, beginning in February after an anonymous call came in suggesting the horses had no shelter during the freezing cold and that there was a dead horse behind a pickup truck.
In June, she returned to the Bolthouse farm, where she noted Sky had very prominent ribs and hip bones and a newborn foal also was very thin. On July 10, according to the affidavit, Officer Scala drew up a compliance agreement and spoke to Ms. Bolt-house, who signed the document that acknowledged she had 45 days to provide legal shelter for all of her horses.
Officer Scala, along with Humane Officer Debra Lamoreaux from Luzerne County, visited the Bolthouse residence Sept. 5 when they discovered the veterinarian's office only had brought in two horses for health certificates.
Officer Scala said Thursday the two horses were in temporary shelter at an undisclosed location. Two other horses were the subject of separate cruelty charges filed Thursday.
Ms. Bolthouse has 10 days to respond to the charges filed with Magisterial District Judge David Plummer in Factoryville.
Officer Scala noted that feed and medical bills were mounting, and while the Endless Mountains Animal League was helping with some bills, it was clear that costs would continue to mount. Anyone who wants to make a donation can send a check to the Endless Mountains Animal League, P.O. Box 306, Factoryville, PA 18419, or call 945-3391. Accounts also have been set up for the animals at Vern's Agway in La Plume and Spur of the Moment in Dallas.

Chicago Fact: The Magnificent Mile boasts over 460 retail shops, 240 restaurants, and 54 hotels in the district.
October 14, 2009 - Here at Chicago Trolley we hire comedians and actors as tour guides and teach them how to drive our double deckers and trolleys. Recently one of our veteran tour guides did a little "extra" work.
Paul Barile, a veteran tour guide/writer/actor here at Chicago Trolley, recently did some "extra" work on the upcoming film "The Little Fockers." Here is his account of a day on the set:
"The wind whiped up at dangerous speeds. Millions of dollars in equipment precariously teetered on silver tripods.
In the middle of it all stood Robert DiNiro, Ben Stiller, and me.
To be a few feet away from these guys--DiNiro in particular--was surreal to say the least. They were in Chicago to shoot "The Little Fockers," the third installment in the comedy franchise. I was there to be an extra--also referred to as "background."
On "Action," DiNiro began his cross with me a few feet behind him. We won't know who--or what--makes the final cut until the movie comes out, but the chance to share a piece of Chicago with the film icon was worth the dangerous wind and the (other) crazy DiNiro fans." -Paul B.

Everyone was really helpful in giving advice when I was deciding on whether to go with the Trek or C'dale cyclocross bikes, and I appreciate it. Both are great bikes, but I am glad now I chose the C'dale.
It suits me and the style of riding that I do, since I don't race, and wanted a tougher style road bike.The only trouble I am having is the rear D'railluer shifts by itself when I have it in the small gears , very worrisome, with the small chainring and bigger rear cog its fine....of course I am taking it back to the shop to have it adjusted....any suggestions on what would cause it?
Anyways..some pictures...I know ...get rid of the reflectors and spoke protector...but not right now.
I love riding this bike, and it fits me like a glove, the shop I purchased it was very professional about fitting me to this bike. I am glad I went with this model. I have probably ridden it 100 miles since I picked it up last Thursday.

Utah head coach Greg Winslow announced the signing of 27 student-athletes who will compete for the Utes in the 2012-13 season.
May 10, 2012
Greg Winslow and his staff announce the commitments of 27 new Utes. Seventeen men and 10 women will enroll at Utah next fall and compete for the Utes during the 2012-13 season.
"This is a deep and talented group of athletes from all around the world," Winslow said. "I am excited to have every one of these athletes join the Utah family."
When asked how the Utes were able to sign such a great class, Winslow pointed to his staff.
"The advantage of recruiting into the Pac-12 and the addition of two new assistant coaches, Lisa Pursley and Jonas Persson, have allowed us to sign this record number of athletes," Winslow said. "I am proud of the relentless work our staff did recruiting this year."
The class is highlighted by international athletes that hail from Sweden, Hungary, Brazil, England, Canada and Finland. The U.S. athletes will come to Utah from nine different states. The diverse group will join the Utes that return all but six athletes from their record-breaking debut season in the Pac-12.

ok so i'm new to this group and new to home schooling.
my daughter is disabled and missed a lot of school last year, after some reasearch, we decided on connections academy.
the school so far has been AWESOME! The only down side is, my DD is very stubborn. taking all day to 1 lesson. she wants me to do it for her. obviously i can't.
here are some of the things we have/are trying
bribing: for every prblm she does right, she gets a blue token. every prblm done wrong she gets a white token. the white token takes away a blue. how ever many blue left over is how many olives (she LOVES olives) she gets. this worked for about 2 days.
report card bribing: different grades gets her different amounts of money. she liked that at first but after a couple hours she realized there is no instant gratifacation and doesn't care any more.
earning/losing privilages: she needs to do x amount of assignments a day every day til x and she will get to do x or lose x.
one example is halloween costume. either she gets to pick, or i do. a birthday party is coming up, if she reaches her goal she gets to go, or stay home and study.
nothing is working so i'm thinking i must be doing something wrong. she is extremely stubborn and strong willed and at the same time "this is hopeless, never be good enough". i DO make it a point to praise her when she does good, it just never lasts long.
please help. she is just getting further and further behind and i feel banging my head against a wall might be more preductive.

Quinoa is one of the healthiest grains on the planet. Full of antioxidants, calcium, iron and phosphorus it's almost nature's best multivitamin.
This super fast and easy red quinoa salad is a great side dish, snack or perfect to stuff in a wrap. I came up with it when I was pressed by time and needed a quick and tasty lunch, and this combination proved to be just what I needed. I used some leftover quinoa and chickpeas and the rest is history. Read below for the instructions.
You can get some quick instructions on how to cook quinoa here.
For the chickpeas you can use canned, but it is always better to get dry chickpeas and boil them yourself. Learn how to boil chickpeas by reading this.
- 1 cup red quinoa, cooked
- 1 cup chickpeas, boiled
- ½ red pepper
- ½ onion
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chop the red pepper and the onions in small cubes.
- Add the quinoa, chickpeas, chopped red pepper and onion in a large bowl.
- Toss well.
- Add olive oil and lemon and mix well until all the ingredients are well coated.
- Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
- You may add additional lemon if you want a more fragrant salad.
- Dress with parley and serve next to grilled chicken or with a grilled cheese sandwich.

If you study geography at university then you'll already know that it is the best subject you could possibly be doing. There is no doubt in your mind about it.
If you do not, then it has to be said sorry but you're missing out. Though you may think that your degree is the most interesting, or the most fun, or the most employable, the truth of the matter is that nothing compares to geography.
Geographers are often given a lot of stick by other students. People say that it's not a 'proper' subject and that it's basically sociology or geology. They say that geographers are only good at colouring in between the lines and for naming capital cities in pub quizzes. They say that geography is just looking at maps, mountains and rivers. They say that geography is a doss.
Well it's time to set the record straight. Except for the 'proper' subject part. To be honest, with some of the methods used in geography today that could well be true. That's not to say that it's an easy subject though!
So why is geography so good? Is it because, along with psychologists, geography students are the most employable? Is it because geography is well known for being a very sociable degree? Or is it because it is simply the most interesting?
Even Michael Palin himself has said that "geography students hold the key to the world's problems" If that isn't enough to convince you, then here are 10 other reasons why geography is far and away the best subject to study at university:
1No-one really knows what you studyGetty
2You get to go on loads of fieldtripsGetty
3You have the life of an arts student
4Geographers are the most funGetty
5You get to do a bit of everythingGetty
6You're not geologistsGetty
7Your dissertation can actually be interestingGetty
8Because you've always wanted to be a geography teacherGetty
9Everyone loves volcanoesGetty
10Because everyone loves colouring inGetty

Last month, my Wife (age 52, I'm 51) started cycling again. Got her a new polar to monitor her heart rate. We have seen much improvement in the last month. She has already 200 miles this month.
Now she want miles and more miles. Already talking about riding her age, something I have not done yet either.
We did 30 miles Saturday.
Today, at 1:30 as I left for work, she was getting ready to ride. That was 4 hours ago!
So either she went down and is hurt. (we both wear roadid) or,
She set out to do 52 miles today.
God help me, I've set loose a wild person!
Soon, very soon, she will be riding my pace, and we can ride together and BOTH be in our training zones.
For now, I go out and do my ride, and we meet up and ride her ride together.
Am I a lucky guy or what?

I'm have been going over and over the forums and wiki's but still can't fully get my Zimbra installation working completely. I have my Zimbra box set up as a secondary system in a split domain. I've executed the commands needed for a split domain according to the split domain wiki. I have an internal mx record for the the Zimbra server.
Currently we have an old postfix/imap server and I'm not sure how I cant get users to communicate with the new system. I had Zimbra's mx record pointing to the same domain of the existing system but Zimbra support said that won't work.
So if my current working email server has an mx record for example.com, would I have to take that out and make example.com point to Zimbra and then Zimbra will route to the old email server?

Face Off 4 Recap: Bearded Ladies & Candy Creatures
February 06, 2013 11:11 AM by Ryan Haidet
Only Face Off could mix bearded ladies and candy to create an amazingly entertaining hour of television. Based on the previews alone, this challenge is the one I have been most excited about because of the short, teasing glimpses at some of the finished products — especially the crazy creature with the sharp-toothed chewing stomach (check it out above!). Don't lie, that's the one you've been looking forward to since it was teased in the preview at the end of season three's Halloween finale. While the final makeups resulted in some really stunning creativity and outstanding work, it also proved a bit disastrous for a few of the contestants. It even put one contestant in a really sticky situation when his gooey, melted gummy guy got stuck to the floor during the makeup application process. On top of all that, another contestant packed up their makeup kit as the fourth person booted from the show. Who was it? All the details are inside this article! Plus, we have 38 more sweet pictures from this episode alone of all the candy creations that you might actually get a cavity just glimpsing at them!
The oft-missing Foundation Challenge made its return in this episode (the first we've had since the premiere a few weeks back) had the 11 remaining contestants taking female models and turning them into a bearded lady from the circus. Each working individually, the aspiring special effects makeup artists were battling it out for Immunity.
Eric F. was worried about the task because he admitted he's not very good at working with hair — even saying he can barely keep his own under control. At the end of the task, the judge for the bearded ladies challenge chose Eric Z. as the winner, which gave him complete safety from elimination in the upcoming Spotlight Challenge. That also marked the first time Anthony, who had won every challenge so far this season, wasn't ranked as the best.
Crazy Candy Creations
For the Spotlight Challenge, the contestants were tasked with individually creating an original candy creature, incorporating sugary treats into their design. It's such a simple idea, but such an awesome one, too. This is why I love Face Off! Admit it, you loved this one, too!
House, the brain behind the heavily promoted stomach-chomping candy creature, felt really confident in his creation early on. But that wasn't the case for everybody else. Jenna was still struggling with the pain in her hand, while Eric F. found himself in a sticky predicament when his male model got stuck to the floor. The makeup he applied was so sticky that the model couldn't up off the floor. No worries, he managed to get him up. Then there was Alex who was worried about her creation not being as wild as some of the others.
Finished Makeups
Here's how the finished candy creatures came out:
The following makeups were ranked in the middle of the bunch and deemed immediately safe without any open critiques from the judges.
Eric Z. He based his concept on the tale of Hansel & Gretel. As much as I think this is a great makeup, I don't think it hit the mark of the candy concept.
Anthony His creation was a playful, cartoony character he dubbed "Colonel Candy." It was sleek, sharp and neat-o.
Wayne To echo the comments I made about Eric Z.'s finished makeup, this one, too, doesn't have the candy vibe to it whatsoever. It looks more like the monster from "Jeepers Creepers." Don't get me wrong, the makeup is outstanding! It just doesn't meet the standards of the candy concept.
Eric F. This was so damn sweet — no sugary candy pun intended. Really, this was absolutely astonishing work. It was wild seeing the model portray the lazily lumped gooey creature on the stage lapping its tortured tongue in and out of its disturbingly gaping mouth. I'm actually really surprised this one wasn't ranked in the top looks. It was just so cool and wildly creative. I'm bummed it wasn't given more recognition. I think the judges messed up on this one not being included in the top looks. There has never been anything like it on any of the previous seasons. Nothing.
Kris "I love his candy-corn fingernails and his lovely candy-corn teeth, which are very disturbing," judge Ve Neill said. Judge Neville Page also liked the creation — especially the licorice pieces used to define the chest muscles. After their typical discussions, the judges ultimately chose his as the best overall makeup of the week and declared Kris the challenge winner for his uniquely successful integration of candy.
House When his wickedly cool creature walked out I actually rewound my DVR to check it out again. As the model stood on stage, she bubbled out her belly and brought the snaggletoothed tummy to life. "The mouth is a showstopper," Neville said. "This one is such a great concept, I just love it for that." If I were judging, this would have been my pick to win with Eric F.'s gooey glob guy ranking in second place. Are you surprised this didn't win?
Alam "I think you did a great job of integrating the candy," Ve said. Neville was impressed with the candied costume pieces. This one was just OK for me. It was definitely one of the better makeups because Alam totally nailed the candy integration.
Jenna Ve said the makeup did not include hardly any candy whatsoever. Plus, the judges nailed it when they said the facial makeup looked too mask-like.
Autumn Her focus was to create a gummy bear gone bad. It turned out just plain bad. "You're in trouble when my favorite part of your makeup is the wardrobe," judge Glenn Hetrick said. Ve thought it looked more like a cat than a bear. Neville said there were too many obvious issues with the finished makeup. Overall, this was my least favorite of the candy creatures.
Alex Sadly, this one wasn't very good at all. It just looked like a girl wearing candy bracelets with melty crud on her face.

Posts Tagged 'Red Light Camera'
Yesterday I asked the El Cajon City Council to allow me to explore the possibility of removing the Red Light Cameras from El Cajon. We currently have seven intersections with these cameras. I was surprised to see that it has become a controversial issue between me and my colleagues. I would very much like for you to read the U-T San Diego article linked below and give me your thoughts.

Bilberry Bombs
Herb's elusive benefits
WebMD Feature
Oct. 16, 2000 -- Night after night during World War II, the bomber crews of Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) climbed into their planes for perilous missions over Germany. The pilots had trouble seeing in the darkness, though, until one man's elderly relative whipped up a batch of bilberry jam. Once the heroic lads began tucking into the preserves before missions, they hit their targets with devastating accuracy.
Or so goes the story, repeated on countless web sites that offer bilberry supplements for sale. "RAF pilots who survived and continued consuming the jam or other Bilberry products had . . . perfect vision both near and far as well as a complete absence of eye disorders throughout their lives," writes Robert Biddleman on Herb.com.
Largely on the strength of that tale, bilberry -- a European cousin of the blueberry -- has become one of the 10 most popular herbs in the United States. According to The Hartman Group, a market research firm, bilbery's sales soared to $97 million in 1999, tripling in just two years.
Fascinated, WebMD set out to learn more. What we found, however, gave us little reason to increase our bilberry intake. Rather it tended to illustrate the power of a heartwarming tall tale over the cold facts of scientific research.
The Berry Hunt
We began our inquiry by trying to contact Biddleman, a Sonoma County, Calif., herbalist. Unfortunately, he was away on an herb picking expedition in Nepal. His colleague at Herb.com, Rebecca Starm, MD, maintained that he had contacted the pilots who continued to use bilberry after the war and had confirmed their extraordinary medical histories with their doctors and families. But she could offer no documentation.

Jeter goes hitless, commits error in fourth rehab start
MOOSIC - Game four with the RailRiders turned out to be eventful and not always easy.
For Derek Jeter, it still didn't matter.
The questions may have changed. But the answers didn't.
The New York Yankees captain insisted he felt comfortable in the field despite a few bobbles during the RailRiders' 5-1 loss to Rochester in front of 9,765 fans Wednesday night at PNC Field.
At the plate, he went 0 for 3, grounding out to shortstop twice and striking out looking against Rochester right-hander Liam Hendriks.
Jeter said after the game that he still hadn't heard a plan for tonight, but after a closed-door meeting in manager Dave Miley's office, Jeter told teammates and reporters that he would "see you tomorrow."
The RailRiders host Syracuse at 7:05 p.m.
"I felt good," Jeter said afterward. "There were a lot of different situations that happened. ... A couple different types of plays."
Most of them came in the third inning.
With a runner on second, former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shortstop Doug Bernier hit a slow chopper into the hole between Jeter and third baseman David Adams. Jeter fielded the ball and tried to toss the ball to Adams covering third, but Adams couldn't come up with the throw, and all runners were safe.
"I just told Dave, 'If there's a ball in the hole, I'm going to third,'" Jeter said. "It's a tough play for a third baseman. You've got to get to the bag, and you've got to look for the bag, you've got to catch the ball, and you've got a runner coming at you.
"The timing was off." The next came on a grounder up the middle by Ray Olmedo, Rochester's speedy infielder. Jeter fielded it cleanly up the middle, but appeared to have a tough time transferring the ball from his glove to his bare hand. The toss to second baseman Addison Maruszak covering the bag was late.
"The second one up the middle, I probably should have thrown to first, but I had my mind made up that I was going to second base," Jeter said. "It's tough for the second baseman to find the base, catch the ball.
"It was my fault." "With two out in the fifth, Jeter was charged with his first error of the rehab assignment. Olmedo hit another chopper up the middle that Jeter fielded deftly, but his throw to first was low, skipped on the dirt and bounced past first baseman Dan Johnson.
"The ball up the middle, I tried to one-hop it. And I one-hopped it - past him," Jeter said. "But it was good to do all those things." Several reports out of New York indicated the Yankees plan to activate Jeter from the disabled list on Friday, in time to start a three-game series against Minnesota that will take the team into the All-Star break.
Jeter would not confirm those reports. He didn't deny them either, though.

I have looked for and tried various solutions but so far none of them solve my problem. I am using the built-in DataGrid from WPF in Visual Studio 2010/.NET4 to display data from an XML document stored as an XDocument.
My code all runs fine, and I have verified that the XDocument is present and correct. The DataGrid does not display any data, however.
The XML looks like this (simplified for clarity):
<name>Track Name</name>
<artist_name>Artist Name</artist_name>
<album_name>Album Name</album_name>
My XAML looks like this:
<DataGrid x:Name="LibraryView" Grid.Row="1"
DataContext="{Binding Path=TrackList}" ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/data/track}">
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Title" Binding="{Binding XPath=name}"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Artist" Binding="{Binding XPath=artist_name}"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Album" Binding="{Binding XPath=album_name}"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Length" Binding="{Binding XPath=duration}"/>
The C# that backs it up just assigns a new XDocument (downloaded from a web service) to the TrackList property (which implements INotifyPropertyChanged). No further processing is done on it.
I have previously tried using XLinq, to bind to a query result, which didn't work either (same problem), so I thought I'd try the XPath approach to avoid writing a potentially buggy Linq statement, and try to find the problem.
I am running out of ideas for how to get the DataGrid to display correctly. My understanding of how this is supposed to work is clearly lacking, so I would greatly appreciate any help offered.
Edit: It is worth noting that I have some flexibility with the input data format, as I am downloading raw XML myself. I will try some of the suggestions and see what I can get to work.

Video: How Aerosmith Survived Decades of Decadence
Video: How Aerosmith Survived Decades of Decadence
Steven Tyler and his band-mates at Aerosmith were featured in a segment on CBS's 60 Minutes, candidly discussing their addiction-filled past and vicious interpersonal dramas. All of the band's five members claim to be now sober, after prolonged battles with drug and alcohol abuse that threatened to bring down the group, which is currently enjoying renewed popularity thanks to Tyler's new stint on American Idol. According to bassist Tom Hamilton, he and Steven Tyler, Brad Whitford, Joe Perry and Joey Kramer were often "fried" while touring, and not able to "sustain their tolerance for each other." Here are a few choice clips from the show.
Aerosmith frontman Tyler, 63—who completed his most recent rehab stint this past January—made headlines and nearly broke his neck after falling off the stage during a 2009 concert while in the throes of an addiction to prescription meds. The tour had to be cancelled, and Tyler's bandmates were so angry with Tyler they didn't bother to call him for 27 weeks. "I was pretty pissed that he let himself get that far," guitarist Joe Perry complains to CBS's Lara Logan, even though he and Tyler were known as the "toxic twins" for their heavy heroin and cocaine use. "Back then, everybody was high," explains Tyler. "That was rock and roll." There's no love lost between Tyler and the rest of his crew, but after 40 years together, Aerosmith is still defying the odds by playing to packed stadiums across the country.
How Tyler's drug addiction nearly drove the band apart:

May 30, 2016
General Motors Corp. is recalling about 277,000 vehicles because of a potential defect in the shift lever that could cause a vehicle to roll away.
GM says the recall involves 2009 model year versions of the Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu and Traverse; GMC Acadia; Pontiac G5 and G6; and the Saturn Aura and Outlook.
A GM spokeswoman says about 75,000 vehicles have been purchased. The rest are at dealerships. No crashes or injuries have been reported.
In some cases, the shift lever and the transmission gear's position may not match, meaning a driver could move the shifter to the park position but the transmission gear may not be in park.
A vehicle could roll away and crash or have problems restarting.

Rafael Nadal crowned his brilliant year by defeating world number one Novak Djokovic 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-1 to win the U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday. Also read: Rafael Nadal fuelled by passion in comeback year
The Spaniard earned his second grand slam crown this season following his French Open triumph, sealing the win when Djokovic dumped a forehand into the net, sending Nadal down onto his back before rolling face down and sobbing in joy.
The triumph improved Nadal's career total to 13 grand slam wins, moving him one ahead of Australian Roy Emerson and into third on the all-time list behind Roger Federer (17) and Pete Sampras (14). Also read: Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams fire warnings at US Open
Nadal, who won the 2010 U.S. Open in a final against Djokovic and then lost their finals rematch in 2011, improved his hard court record to a spotless 22-0 this year and his overall match record to a sensational 60-3.
"Playing against Novak is a very special feeling," the 27-year-old said at the trophy ceremony. "Probably no one brings my game to the level that Novak does." Also read: US Open: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on collision course
The match was a Tour-record setting 37th meeting between the two rivals, eclipsing the 36 clashes between John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl. Nadal improved his lead in their series to 22-15.
The left-hander from Mallorca, who missed last year's tournament at Flushing Meadows because of a knee injury, collected prize money of $2.6 million.
Nadal also pocketed an extra $1 million for having topped the standings in the U.S. Open run-up series of events, matching the $3.6 million haul of women's winner Serena Williams.
"He was too good," said Australian Open champion Djokovic. "He definitely deserved to win this match and this trophy.
"Obviously it's disappointing to lose a match like this. But it's an honor and privilege to be fighting for this trophy."
The duo have staged some of the most memorable matches in recent seasons, with Djokovic winning a six-hour tilt in the 2012 Australian Open final, and Nadal claiming a classic semi-finals win at Roland Garros by 9-7 in the fifth set.

Page 1 of 2I don't want to be the Grinch who stole Christmas dinner, but we have to ask. Just when did holidays like Hanukkah and Christmas morph from messages of love and giving to ones of food and gorging?
Whether it's one, three or seven pounds, experience says that most of us will gain weight between now and New Year's Day. So it bears repeating that moderation is the key to enjoying a fun and healthy holiday season.
This year, shake off the ghosts of food-crammed Christmases past! Fill up instead on family and friendship rather than food and feasting. Make a concerted effort to fill your heart with love—not cholesterol—and you'll start the New Year with a brighter outlook instead of a desperate resolve to shed pounds! Continued ›

WASHINGTON -- The partially-built H Street NE-Benning Road streetcar line needs to connect to Union Station somehow, and at a Tuesday night community gathering, Mayor Vincent Gray told a crowd of concerned residents where future streetcars won't be going.
"It's nice that they're looking at options, but let me be clear, we are not running any streetcar down 3rd Street and down 2nd Street," the mayor said, according to Washington City Paper. "Just so you know, I know these streets like the back of my hand...You will not be going through somebody's neighborhood to get to Union Station."
The mayor grew up a few blocks away at 6th and L streets NE.
The District Department of Transportation, which has been slowly developing the new streetcar line in phases, still needs to build a connection to Union Station. One option under consideration has been a short loop running from the current tracks on H Street to 2nd and F streets NE, a block east of the station and roughly two blocks from the Red Line Metrorail entrance.
But that option seems to be out of contention after the mayor's comments and threats of lawsuits from neighbors.
That leaves planners with having a connection to the station via H Street's "Hopscotch Bridge," which is situated over Union Station's rail yard and station platforms but roughly two blocks north of the station's Main Hall, train concourse and Red Line Metrorail entrance.
A previous plan to run streetcars beneath the "Hopscotch Bridge" and the Union Station rail yards through an existing underpass hit roadblocks.
While much of the trackwork is already in place after years of construction, there's still a long way to go to the streetcar's current opening day in July 2013. DDOT needs to purchase two additional rail car, construct a car bar and electrical systems and build turn around tracks.
And as the Examiner reports, a streetcar line running through Anacostia that had been slated to be D.C.'s first new streetcar line now has no current start date.

Charles Taze Russell: His Life and Times--The Man, the Millennium, and the Message
A Biography by Fredrick Zydek
Click on the links below to order the book:
Charles Taze Russell Biography-Second Edition--from the Publisher
Charles Taze Russell Biography-Second Edition--from Amazon.com
Pastor Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916) was the most widely known and celebrated Christian minister of his day. He was also one of the most controversial, daring to challenge doctrines taught by most mainline denominations. Deeply religious from his youth, he could not see how the concept of a loving God, which the Scriptures clearly teach, could be reconciled with the teaching that God condemns huge numbers of his human creation to an existence of eternal torment in fiery flames. Many people worldwide hearkened to Pastor Russell's ministry during his lifetime, gladdened and encouraged that God indeed has a wonderful, loving plan for the salvation of all mankind, except for those who remain willfully incorrigible during the favorable conditions of Christ's Millennial Kingdom.
Despite his fame and wide following, the name, the character, and the ministry of Pastor Charles T. Russell has either been forgotten by history or maligned by anyone who has written about him. In George Swetnam's history, "Where Else But Pittsburgh?" he observed, "It is an amazing thing that no Pittsburgh history has ever even so much as contained the name of Charles Taze Russell, since his influence has easily been the widest of any man who ever lived in the city, not even excepting Andrew Carnegie."
In the nearly 100 years since his death, no professional, objective biography was ever written about him. Authors who have mentioned him and his ministry in their writings have misrepresented both his life and his teachings. Writers in Christendom have maligned him because he challenged some long-held and cherished doctrines and they have built their narratives around the character-assassinating false charges and rumors that circulated in his day.
Will anyone ever write an honest, objective, and professional biography of Pastor Russell and his ministry? Will anyone simply tell the truth and state what lies in historical records, and thereby vindicate his name, his reputation, and his life of service to God? Someone finally has!
