ReadKit Outdoes RSS for Good Mac Reading
Sep 10, 2013 5:00 AM PT
ReadKit by Webin is available at the Mac App Store for US$4.99.
With Google's axing of Reader, its RSS app, software makers rushed into the breach to meet the needs of users orphaned by Searchzilla.
Judging by the response of those code warriors, it appears that Really Simple Syndication still has plenty of adherents.
A number of good offerings have entered the picture -- Feedly, Reeder and Digg Reader, to name a few -- so squeezing another RSS app into the market can be challenging for any johnny-come-latelies.
An app that's a little more than a reader, though, might have a shot at getting some visibility in the crowded field. At least, that's what the software smiths at Webin are banking on with ReadKit.
Adding Accounts
ReadKit contains standalone RSS reader capability, but what distinguishes it from the raft of Google Reader replacements that have appeared on the scene in the past few months is its ability to integrate RSS, bookmarking and "read me later" kinds of services into a single application.
For example, you can keep tabs through ReadKit of articles you've tagged in Instapaper, Pocket and Readability; check bookmarks stored on Pinboard and Delicious; and view RSS feeds from places like Feedly, NewsBlur, Fever, Feed Wrangler and Feedbin.
Adding accounts to ReadKit is very simple. You open the program's preferences from the ReadIt menu on the Apple bar.
When the preferences window pops up, clicking the Accounts tool will display a row of icons for services supported by the program. Clicking an icon will show you a login screen for the service.
Some services will alert you upon login to what ReadKit will be scraping from them. For instance, when I logged into my Pocket account, I was informed that I was giving ReadKit permission to add, retrieve and modify items in Pocket, but not permission to see the password for the account.
Common Interface
To use some services with ReadKit, you'll need a premium or paid subscription. Those services are Instapaper, Pinboard, NewsBlur, Feed Wrangler and Feedbin. In addition, you'll need a self-hosted installation of Fever to use that service.
If you want to add RSS feeds by hand, you can do it from the File menu on the Apple bar. Feeds can be added to a feed service -- like Feedly -- or to ReadKit's reader.
Feed links are typically found by clicking the orange RSS icon found on Web pages. Some RSS readers will let you paste the URL of a website into a feed address field and if RSS is enabled on the site, the reader will automatically resolve the feed address for you. ReadKit's reader, unfortunately, won't do that for you.
The program's main window has a common three-pane layout with tool bars above and below the panes.
A narrow pane on the right side of the main window is where your accounts appear. Beneath your accounts are the items in them. What those items are will depend on the type of account it is.
For example, a Pocket account will contain unread items, as well as favorites, archived articles, videos and images. In Feedly, you may have folders containing RSS feeds.
Smart Folders
ReadKit also lets you create smart folders. These folders are handy for spanning services. For instance, one of the default smart folders is Read Later. It contains all the unread items in your accounts. Another is RSS Starred, which gathers up all items starred or marked as favorites in your RSS accounts.
At the bottom of the folder pane are a pair of filtering tools -- one for displaying only folders in the pane, and one for showing only tags in services that support them, such as Pocket and Delicious.
Beside the filtering tools is a synchronization icon. It lets you manually sync all your accounts. In addition to manual syncing, you can instruct ReadKit to automatically check your accounts at certain time intervals, such as five, 10, 30 or 60 minutes.
Abutting the folder pane is the header pane, where the title of items are displayed. Tools at the bottom of the header pane permit you to mark all listed items as read and search them for words describing a subject you may be interested in.
When you click on an item in the header pane, it will display the item in the third or reader pane of the interface.
End Hopping Hassle
Tools above the reader pane let you perform a variety of actions on the items displayed there. For example, you can star them so you can find them quickly later.
What's more, if you star an item in ReadKit, it will also appear as a starred item in the service where the item originated. So a Feedly item starred in ReadKit will appear starred when you check Feedly online.
Other tools above the reader pane let you archive or unarchive items, view them in Readability, open them in a browser and share them with others.
If you subscribe to several of the services supported by ReadKit, you know it can be a hassle hopping from site to site to check the latest material you've stashed there on the fly or that has been gathered for you by an RSS reader.
ReadKit is a great way to aggregate that material, as well as organize it. It's a kind of control center for online information that can boost your productivity by helping you read what you need to read when you need to read it.
Want to Suggest a Mac App for Review?

I have an check box name into a string variable as follows : String Myvar = "checkbox01".
I want to access the check box properties doing something like Myvar.checked = true; as I was referring direct to the string content or maybe Mayvar.text = "New-text"...
Is there a way to make C# understand this?

USN-2064-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
3 January 2014
linux vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description
- linux - Linux kernel
Stephan Mueller reported an error in the Linux kernel's ansi cprng random number generator. This flaw makes it easier for a local attacker to break cryptographic protections. (CVE-2013-4345)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's IP Virtual Server (IP_VS) support. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could exploit this flaw to gain additional administrative privileges. (CVE-2013-4588)
Nico Golde and Fabian Yamaguchi reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's debugfs filesystem. An administrative local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (OOPS). (CVE-2013-6378)
Nico Golde reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's userspace IO (uio) driver. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2013-6763)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- linux-image-2.6.32-55-386 - 2.6.32-55.117
- linux-image-2.6.32-55-generic - 2.6.32-55.117

To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.

Five new MLB 10 The Show screens sent our way from Sony highlight some of the special animations for this year's game, including a bang-bang play at second and an attempt to throw out a would-be base thief.
That view of cover man Joe Mauer throwing down to second isn't from Road to the Show (because it's Mauer, not you), but it's a good reminder that this year's simulation will have your created catcher calling pitches. That means the career events won't be so telegraphed (fast forwarding to your team in the field usually meant a foul popup or a stealing attempt.)
As for that shot of Ben Francisco flipping Robinson Cano, looks like that's a message that The Show doesn't do too badly with its player collisions, either.
MLB 10 The Show shows up March 2.

- 1. Let's Rally for Victor Petersen for Gilbert Town Council
The great news is that Gilbert Town Council Member Victor Petersen has turned in his petition signatures! Now, it's time to help him raise money for his campaign for reelection. Gilbert Watch supported Victor four years ago, and we are very proud that we never regretted it for a second! He is a rock solid, constitutional conservative. His voting record mirrors his campaign promises.
To donate to Victor's campaign, go HERE. Here is a letter from Victor.
Dear friends,
I am honored by and grateful for all the help I received in collecting signatures for my race. I am happy to announce that I have more than enough signatures to put my name on the ballot and that is thanks to all of you for your help!
With signatures complete, I am entering the fundraising stage of the campaign and I can't emphasize enough the importance of small donations. Even $5 is a wonderful donation as that reflects a grassroots campaign which characterizes my efforts in government. While protecting individual rights protects special interests some of the time, generally special interests do not appreciate the fact that they can't control my votes. They know that I am loyal only to the principles of freedom which benefit everyone equally. This means the everyday citizen like you will have to contribute in order to have a successful campaign.
As a fiscal conservative, I will make the most of every hard-earned dollar that you contribute and I will not rest in my never-ending quest for lower taxes so you can keep more of those hard-earned dollars.
Thank you for your support!

- 2. They're Baaaaaaack! Gilbert's Building, Energy and Green Codes, that is
The following FREE MARKET KILLING CODES are currently in effect, thanks to Mayor John Lewis, Vice Mayor Ben Cooper, and Council Members Jenn Daniels and Jordan Ray:
2012 International Building Code
2012 International Residential Code
2012 International Mechanical Code
2012 International Plumbing Code
2012 International Fuel Gas Code
2006 International Energy Conservation Code
2012 International Fire Code
2011 National Electrical Code
Building and Construction Regulations Code of the Town of Gilbert, Arizona - 2013 Edition
This Thursday night, 1/30/2014, 4 Gilbert Council Members, including Mayor John Lewis, claiming to "represent" Gilbert families, will very likely, once again, turn deaf, dumb, and blind to them and add to the above unnecessary codes. The new addition is proposed: The Leftist inspired Energy and Green Codes! Unless Gilbert staff members can present valid arguments to support that these codes are necessary to health and safety, they should all be voluntary, not LAW. Please send an email to Mayor Lewis and all Council Members and ask them to please vote NO to these Energy and Green Codes. They should be voluntary: firstname.lastname@example.com.
A public records request made by Gordon Ray revealed that 57 people had emailed Mayor John Lewis and all Council Members to NOT adopt the 2012 unnecessary codes (that they adopted anyway). They should have remained voluntary. Only 4 people emailed to adopt them, including a Washington lobbyist and a representative from SRP. Yet, the 2012 codes were adopted.
Three Council Members have been opposed to unnecessary codes. These Council Members include: Victor Petersen, Jared Taylor, and Eddie Cook. It will be unfortunate if Mayor John Lewis and the other three Council Members continue to listen to and obey the direction of staff (aka so-called "experts") who want to grow their bureaucracy and inflict more regulations on Gilbert families. Unless you can break through their resistance,Mayor Lewis and three council members will be mezmerized by the Planners, Building Examiners, Inspectors, and Code Enforcers.
Mayor Lewis and the other three Council Members also listen to organizations such as the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce and the Small Business Alliance. Some of their members stand to make big bucks because their products will be forced on Gilbert families. Their products will have to be purchased by law. (Code = Regulation = Law.)
Welcome to Gilbert's Administrative State! Here are the Council members who have demonstrated by their votes that they don't care about you and your goofy rants about Liberty, Freedom, Property Rights, and the Free Market. To them, you are the unheard, unlamented, unwanted. They get really tired of hearing about "the Founders." (Oh, but they will strut and preen at the next "celebration" of Constitution Week USA. Just watch.)
Mayor John Lewis
Vice Mayor Ben Cooper
Council Member Jenn Daniels
Council Member Jordan Ray
Do you think I'm being "harsh" toward these wonderfully "nice" people? Consider how they have been treating their constituents.
The fight against the adoption of unnecessary building codes has been going on for a YEAR! A private business that lobbies for new codes that will gain financially by the codes has a conflict of interest .Power. Control, and Money is what this is all about, Not Safety and Energy/Green.
Rusdon and Gordon Ray haven't received a single penny for the work they have done to stop these code adoptions. In fact, everything they have done to fight these swarms of unnecessary codes has cost them and their families time, effort, and money. Do you think the Town Council is weary of this issue? How do you think Gordon and Rusdon feel? Not to mention the many families of the tradesmen and builders who have been fighting along with them.
Please inform Gilbert voters how these elected officials "stood up for them" by showing them the voting record of these people who have consistently voted FOR these free market killing codes.
Please email Mayor Lewis and all Council Members asking them to PLEASE VOTE NO to adopting the Green and Energy Codes. They should be voluntary. email@example.com

- 3. Thank You to 3 Council Members for Voting NO to the 2012 ICC Building Codes
Dear Council Members Victor Petersen, Jared Taylor, and Eddie Cook,
Thank you for acknowledging the 65 citizens who, on Nov. 7, 2013, spoke out, sent emails, or put their names on a list objecting to the passage of the 2012 ICC building codes. Thank you for voting No. I'm sorry that your 4 colleagues passed the codes, against Gilbert families, self-employed builders, and the Free Market. To them, Liberty is a quaint philosophy, nothing more.
Thank you for understanding the issues that many of these citizens have brought to your attention for the last several months about the damage that a proliferation of building codes has done to those who must adhere to them, and to those who must pay for them.
Thank you for seeing that, no matter how much taxpayer money you spend to "train the bureaucracy to be consistent," you are only adding an ineffective government fix to a government-induced problem. There will never be consistency within Gilbert, and there will never be consistency among jurisdictions. Yet, the myth prevails. Thanks for not believing it.
Thank you for realizing that the SBA, Chamber of Commerce, and SRP do not speak for Gilbert families. The SBA has been right on many issues, but unfortunately, not on this one. I doubt if most SBA and Chamber of Commerce members could tell you what ICC stands for, let alone be able to offer an educated opinion about it. Those who profit financially from higher priced products might like them, however. Money and power does strange things to people with loosely held "principles."
Thank you for honestly appreciating the time, effort, research, and meetings that the unpaid citizens have spent for months doing their best to educate the rest of the Council members. These citizens have invested their own personal, private time, which they have taken away from their businesses and families. I'm sure it has been a sacrifice to their families, who have supported them as they have exerted their Civic Authority. These citizens remind me of something I read once. It's obvious that you are familiar with this sentence: --And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
Thank you for understanding that some people in the construction industry are delighted with the code mandates because it means more profit for them. I know this is true, because, as the previous owners of a swimming pool service and repair business, my husband and I stood to make 5 and 6 times more commission by selling energy efficient variable speed motors. I fought against that legislation, at my own expense, because our customers trusted us to provide the best product for the best price. The variable speeds are a sham. We refused to "fleece" our customers and cowardly hide behind "It's not our fault. It's those darned regulations." Our customers didn't even know about our fight, nor did they care. But we knew, we cared, and so did our God.
Thank you for understanding that the Free Market responds to an ever changing building/construction environment in an instant, and it adjusts quickly. The ICC's codes take years to catch up. A mandated code can be faulty, worthless, or even dangerous, but "it's code," so the law prevails anyway.
Mostly, thank you for recognizing the Truth. This fight hasn't been about the newest, best, safest, most energy efficient and greenest building materials. It has been a fight between Centralized Governance versus Individual Self Governance. The building/construction experts throughout this battle have been fighting for Liberty and Individual Self Governance.
In the name of God, Family, and Civic Duty

- 4. Gilbert Town Council Votes AGAINST Gilbert Families, Homeowners, Free Market - ICC Codes Pass
The November 7, 2013 Town Council Meeting provided Gilbert Watch with the saddest and most telling evidence to date that proves that 4 out of 7 Town Council members have lost their ability to represent their constituents, unless those constituents are the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Alliance, SRP, Town Officials, and neighboring jurisdictions. These Council members include Mayor John Lewis, Vice Mayor Ben Cooper, and Council members Jenn Daniels and Jordan Ray.
They approved one of the largest increases in regulations on private property and on the building industry, in Gilbert history. What is truly disappointing is that they did this in spite of having received months of evidence from private citizens for why the Council should not approve these regulations. It is also remarkable that the Council is preparing to approve the next round of codes, as dictated by the ICC (International Code Council) for 2015.
Three Council members opposed passage of the Codes: Victor Petersen, Jared Taylor, and Eddie Cook. Council member Victor Petersen favored an option which would have allowed passage of only those codes that would have reduced regulation.
Each of these three Council members deserve a Thank You from Gilbert citizens! email@example.com, email@example.com, and email@example.com.
The ICC
Over the last ten years, the ICC (International Code Council) has morphed into an organization that has forced builders all over America to comply with building codes that no longer address honest, urgent safety issues. Rather, these ICC codes force everyone to become captive consumers of products that the ICC mandates through its "codes." The obscene proliferation of these codes also forces builders and everyone in the building and construction industry to comply with an ever increasing time-consuming bureaucracy. More bureaucrats and more training are needed to ensure they consistently interpret the codes.
Just like the ICC, 4 members of the Gilbert Town Council have morphed into facilitators of Big Government tyranny. When you watch them reason and justify their rationales, they "sound nice." But what exactly are they doing? They are pushing centralized government. They do not trust the citizenry.
Their actions prove that they do not care about the damage they are doing to families and homeowners who are forced to pay thousands of dollars more than necessary for their homes. They do not care about the grief these codes have caused self-employed citizens who work in the construction industry who must adhere to these mandates. They do not understand Free Market principles. They reject the notion that these people are experts in their fields. They do not care that many of them have closed their businesses. They reject clear evidence that the Free Market reacts quickly to changing conditions, and that it's the government-imposed codes that are slow to change.
Gilbert Watch has reported on the ICC codes for months. Gilbert citizens and self-employed business people have been emailing and speaking out to the Council for months. They have been meeting with Town Staff, and supplying tons of research.
At the Nov. 7 meeting, there were 6 citizens who spoke in opposition; 24 citizens had sent letters; there were 19 citizens in the audience who were in opposition but did not speak; and 16 people who were in opposition who submitted their names to a list. That's 65 citizens documented in the Minutes of the meeting. And it doesn't count more citizens who showed up to the meeting.
The Council gave more credence to the representative from the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, the representative from the Small Business Alliance, and the representative from SRP (Salt River Project). In fact, I doubt seriously if the members of these organizations have much first-hand experience dealing with these onerous codes.
There was one citizen who spoke in favor of all the codes, including the Green and Energy Codes. A quick search revealed that he's a Democrat and a member of Sierra Club.

- 6. STOP these Free Market Killing ICC Building Codes in Gilbert - TOWN COUNCIL VOTES THURSDAY, 11/7/2013!
Please see Gordon Ray's email below. Thanks to the high level of research and persistence of Gordon's team of dedicated citizens, the Gilbert Town Council is looking at the ICC 2012 Building Codes like they never have in the past. So far the Council has hit the pause button.
Tomorrow they vote. PLEASE send an email and/or attend this meeting to speak out against adoption of these codes. This email address will reach Mayor John Lewis and all Council members: email@example.com. Town Hall, 50 E. Civic Center Drive, Gilbert, AZ 85296.
How can any of these codes honestly be about safety issues? Is your house still standing? Is every house in Gilbert still standing? What about all the office buildings, grocery stores, and government buildings? All were built with tons of previous codes. None were built with these proposed 2012 Codes! None of the homes and buildings built without these codes have presented any hazards. Children haven't gotten shocked from sticking screwdrivers, paperclips, or anything else into the outlets.
Please tell the Council: Even if a code is an improvement, that improvement shouldn't be made into a law. The improvement should be a choice between the builder and the person paying for the construction. Just because some private entities wrote those codes, forcing them on the citizenry is NOT supporting the Free market. Leave the Free market to compete on its own, without more onerous regulations.
Enough of Government Regulations at all levels! All of these monsters got their start at the local level. Kill the monster while it's young, before it turns into the Rottweiler that runs your household.

- 7. Gilbert Town Council to Vote on the 2012 International Code Council Construction Codes 8/15/2013
Since February 2013, several Gilbert citizens have been exercising their Civic Authority to convince the Gilbert Town Council that adopting 115 additional regulations (2009 ICC code updates) plus another 840 additional regulations (2012 ICC code updates) serves no compelling purpose. They have invested thousands of hours of their own time providing research to the Town Council and Town Management.
These private citizens and tradesmen have done this, because they have been forced for years to install unnecessary products and have suffered from inconsistent and inaccurate building inspector dictates, simply because "it's code." Because these codes have been handed down by so-called experts (the ICC), Town Management has recommended them, and Councils have passed them. These private citizens want to stop the mindless lockstep approval of "the new ICC" codes. These private citizens are willing to question the experts. They want to do the right thing, not be forced to do the wrong thing.
If the Gilbert Town Council votes on Thursday evening to add these 955 new 2009/2012 regulation updates, they will have adopted the single largest increase in government regulation on small businesses and individuals in the history of Gilbert.
They will have done this without insisting that Town Management provide justification for each new regulation they recommend.
Among the many things that Town Management recommends to the Council is punishment to whomever refuses to follow "the code." It will be a misdemeanor: $2500 fine and 6 months of imprisonment. Click here to see the Council Packet Relating to item #20 Code of Gilbert.
Much has been stated about adopting only life/safety codes.
What life/safety problems exist right now that these new codes will resolve? There are none. Gilbert has been following the 2006 codes. There have been no fires, injuries, or deaths that demand updated codes. In fact, there haven't been any prior to the 2006 codes. No child has been injured from tampering with existing electrical outlets. No one has suffered injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning. No fires have resulted from having commercial ovens in private residences.
Adopting the 2009 and 2012 codes will create unnecessary busy work.
The 955 code updates will drain staff resources, since building inspectors and others will have to be trained on each new code. Those resources would be better directed to more productive purposes. For example, some inspectors are repeatedly and inconsistently issuing turn-down notices, due to their lack of understanding existing codes. This creates unnecessary labor expenses, which must be passed on to the consumer.
Forcing the construction industry to adopt new codes kills the free market.
It doesn't matter if private business owners or private tradesmen wrote them and got them approved by the ICC. As soon as government mandates them, government has decided winners and losers. With a single vote, the Town Council can wipe perfectly good products off the shelves, rendering them "illegal." They can ruin someone's business.
The free market works!
When you see that some builders install R-38 over R-30, on their own, you know that someone has chosen that improvement and are willing to pay for it. When an individual demands that his/her home include every bell and whistle, and they obtain competing quotes from builders, that's the Free Market. When an individual cannot afford the latest and greatest, and obtains quotes from competing builders, that's the affordable home being made available within the Free Market. Only the best builders survive in the Free Market.

- 8. Maricopa County Supervisor Denny Barney: Statement regarding the Vote on 2012 ICC Codes
For the record, Gilbert Watch supported Supervisor Barney's vote and appreciates this letter. It is very disappointing that so many other elected officials care so little about the free market and are quick to mandate 955 new regulations to destroy it.
Dear constituent,
Knowing your concern over the adoption of the 2012 series of building codes, I wanted to let you know of some recent developments.
Yesterday, August 7, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the full ICC Series of codes, but made the International Green Construction and the International Energy Conservation Codes voluntary. Although I supported the move to make the Green and Energy Conservation Codes voluntary, I voted against final adoption of the codes for many of the same reasons that you cited in your prior messages.
I want to make it clear that I do not oppose building codes. It is important to provide minimum construction and material standards to protect public health and safety. However, I do not believe it is necessary to change codes every three years, or to compel consumers to accept lifestyle or efficiency mandates against their will.
Within each new set of building codes are numerous requirements that have nothing whatsoever to do with life or safety issues. These requirements add thousands of dollars to the price of homes or commercial structures and add a new layer of complexity and government red tape. Rather than providing consistency in building standards across a region, the frequency of ICC Code updates often simply increases the already inconsistent application of code-based requirements that exist today. Further, the rapid cycling of new building codes leads to unintended consequences which, ironically, must be addressed through the adoption of subsequent codes.
In my opinion, both the consumer and the building industry would have been better served by sticking with the existing codes a bit longer. Any life safety or other deficiency in those codes could have easily been addressed through a simple amendment or addendum. Such an approach would have provided the needed protection for the public, without the unnecessary expense of an entirely new set of codes.
I hope this information is of use to you, and that you will continue to contact me on matters of importance to you and our community.

- 9. Gilbert Town Council Member Jared Taylor's Opinion about adopting the 2012 ICC Building Codes
This afternoon, July 30, 2013, the Town Council meets in a Study Session at 4 pm to talk about the 2012 ICC building codes. Click here for more information. Your attendance in support of the citizens of Gilbert is appreciated.
A few weeks ago, I asked each Council member for his/her opinion on who has the burden of proof for adopting codes into law? Should individual citizens be expected to prove that each of hundreds of codes should NOT be made law? Or should Town employees be required to prove why they SHOULD be made law?
In response to that question, Council Member Jared Taylor responded by copying me on an email he sent on July 9 to Patrick Banger, Gilbert's Town Manager:
Hi Patrick,
As far as I can tell, the purpose of having building codes is to solve problems. For example, smoke detectors save lives so we mandate them. There is clear data to show this.
As I've listened to Kyle's team, I'm not sure they are focused on solving problems in our community, but more on passing along the recommendations from national/international bodies.
I realize a few state-mandated items were withdrawn, but that didn't come from our building community. Don't get me wrong, the IBC's have some positive things in them.
As you probably know, the 2012 codes will add hundreds of new regulations on our builders. Many builders will profit by the additional work and just pass the cost on to our citizens. The citizens will eventually carry the cost of all the expensive fees, inspections, and hours it takes to design, review, and inspect to the new and existing regulations. This will cost Gilbert families millions of additional dollars very quickly. I wonder about the real value here and can't support something that isn't empirically validated to solve problems.
As a result, it seems reasonable that I get hard empirical justification on every new regulation that is being recommended. I would like to see the statistics of how many injuries, deaths, or other harms the lack each regulation has caused in Gilbert and how this new regulation is proven to address the issue.
If we are not solving actual problems, we are simply creating a huge amount of waste for our citizens in government jobs, fees, reviews, inspections, etc. This is a simple ROI exercise that should have been part of the original process.
I would like to have someone on your team provide me this analysis. I'm OK to receive it in a spreadsheet. I know this may seem like a tall order, but given the massive imposition on our community these hundreds of new regulations will place, it's really not that much.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

- 10. "It's the Law, Because I say so." Code Enforcement, Gilbert, AZ.
President Barack Obama isn't the only tyrant who wields power at his whim. Meet Code Enforcement....in Gilbert, Arizona, home of "Constitution Week USA."
According to Gordon Ray, a local builder, here are two examples of what happens on almost every building inspection in Gilbert. This is one of many reasons that several local professionals and tradesmen from the construction and building industry in Gilbert have been fighting against the Town Council's adoption of the 2012 ICC (International Code Council) building codes. Gilbert needs to have their own simple, justifiable codes, rather than hundreds of international codes, many of which are expensive, not applicable, and misinterpreted by the Town's inspectors.
Please note that Gilbert's inspector doesn't even cite the specific code that has been "violated." If he bothered to "look it up," he might have to actually read it. If he had read it, he could have saved the sub-contractor and the Gilbert homeowner time and money. The sub-contractor just submits to the list of violations (right or wrong) because it takes him more time and costs him more money to do the Inspector's job by looking up the code and proving that the inspector is wrong. Ultimately, these costs are eaten by the consumer. Everybody pays the price....except the Town inspector.
Example #1: The inspector issued a turn down notice, citing only "Wrong bushing in electrical panel." After the electrician spoke to the inspector, it was determined that the electrician was correct in his application. It took about $80.00 labor to get the inspector to admit he was wrong.
Example #2: The inspector issued a turn down notice, citing only "No foam in attic."
There was a time when foam was used on gable ends. If and when a house burned down, the code stated that the fumes from the fire would be toxic. So, the code stated no foam in attics. However, the code also states that you can have foam in the attic, if you put drywall on your walls and ceilings. Such was the case in this example. However, the sub-contractor went ahead and removed it, even though he was correct. He missed a few small 2" x 3" pieces, so the Inspector (incorrectly) turned it down again. So, the sub went back and removed every tiny piece. The cost to this private business? $185.00 rather than fight with the Town Inspector.
Today at 4 pm, there will be a Town Council Study Session to discuss the possible adoption of hundreds of more pages of "codes." The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers, Gilbert Municipal Center, 50 E. Civic Center Dr.

G&G UMG In Stock! (2005-07-27)Long awaited by airsoft fans around the world, the UMP (or UMG as G&G calls its airsoft version) is a big movie gun - in that it appears to be the firearm of choice by movie directors in recent years. Think back to the evil twins from Matrix Reloaded (2003) as one of them empties a UMP towards the fleeting motorcycle (piloted by Trinity) from atop their SUV, or Will Smith in Bad Boys II (2003) as he swings out his UMP from his skidding Ferrari, or more recently Angelina Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith when she tries to kill her husband Brad Pitt in the kitchen shoot-out scene. It's really no wonder that the UMP has therefore become one of the most sought-after styles in airsoft as well!
After years in development and many months in pre-production testing, G&G's UMG has finally arrived! This new AEG sports many great features that outpace typical AEGs from established companies like Marui.
Special Features Includes:
1. Realistic cocking lever with locking chamber cover for adjusting metal hopup function.
2. Sturdy nylon reinforced folding stock (UMG length from 452mm to 695mm) suitable for CQB situation, with soft rubber finishing for comfortable use.
3. Two side 20mm rails, one lower 20mm rail and top 20mm rail for attaching accessories such as scope, flashlight and laser.
4. CNC one-piece rigid outer barrel.
5. Smart space design for holding stick stick battery, easy to install battery.
6. Constructed with nlyon and metal in much the same manner as the real thing.
7. Threaded barrel to take a silencer

Transportation Accounts Receivable Payable System (TARPS)
The Transportation Accounts Receivable Payable System (TARPS) is used by Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) to record protests and track their progress through an easy-to-use, web-based process.
Note: We no longer accept fax copies of Notice of Overcharge (NOC). Please forward them via email:
- Super users submit to: firstname.lastname@example.com until further notice.
- Non super users submit to: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Resolve protest issues;
- Save money by eliminating paper and mailing costs; and
- Minimize opportunity for manual errors.
How Does It Work?:
Transportation Audits will set a TSP up with two types of user accounts in the on-line TARPS system, which are super user and sub-user. The super user will have the ability to create sub-user and additional super user accounts, specifically for a given Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC). We request that the TSP submit multiple SCACs, so super user and sub-user IDs can be categorized under them.
How to Get Started:
The Transportation Audits division is here to help make the protest process faster and easier.
If you are interested in participating and want to get started in using this new tool, please contact Monique Duncan at 703-605-2881 , or email firstname.lastname@example.com and provide her with a list of SCAC(s) and contact information for the super user of your choice.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Strains 16 and 18
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) strains 16 and 18 are the two most common HPV strains that lead to cases of genital cancer. HPV is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease, resulting in more than fourteen million cases per year in the United States alone. When left untreated, HPV leads to high risks of cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and penile cancers. In 1983 and 1984 in Germany, physician Harald zur Hausen found that two HPV strains, HPV-16 and HPV-18, caused cervical cancer in women.

Studies of Thalidomide's Effects on Rodent Embryos from 1962-2008
Thalidomide is a sedative drug introduced to European markets on 1 October 1957 after extensive testing on rodent embryos to ensure its safety. Early laboratory tests in rodent populations showed that pregnant rodents could safely use it, so doctors prescribed Thalidomide to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. However, in humans Thalidomide interfered with embryonic and fetal development in ways not observed in rodent tests.

Reduction of Maternal-Infant Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus with Zidovudine Treatment
In 1994, Edward M. Connor and colleagues published "Reduction of Maternal-Infant Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 with Zidovudine Treatment." Their study summarized how to reduce the transfer of human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, from pregnant women to their fetuses with Zidovudine, otherwise known as AZT. HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system by destroying white blood cells, a part of the body's immune system. Fifteen to forty percent of infants born to HIV-positive mothers become infected during fetal development, labor and delivery, or breast-feeding.

Quickening, the point at which a pregnant woman can first feel the movements of the growing embryo or fetus, has long been considered a pivotal moment in pregnancy. Over time, this experience has been used in a variety of contexts, ranging from representing the point of ensoulment to determining whether an abortion was legal to indicating the gender of the unborn baby; philosophy, theology, and law all address the idea of quickening in detail. Beginning with Aristotle, quickening divided the developmental stages of embryo and fetus.

Mesoderm is one of the three germ layers, groups of cells that interact early during the embryonic life of animals and from which organs and tissues form. As organs form, a process called organogenesis, mesoderm interacts with endoderm and ectoderm to give rise to the digestive tract, the heart and skeletal muscles, red blood cells, and the tubules of the kidneys, as well as a type of connective tissue called mesenchyme. All animals that have only one plane of symmetry through the body, called bilateral symmetry, form three germ layers.

The Process of Implantation of Embryos in Primates
Implantation is a process in which a developing embryo, moving as a blastocyst through a uterus, makes contact with the uterine wall and remains attached to it until birth. The lining of the uterus (endometrium) prepares for the developing blastocyst to attach to it via many internal changes. Without these changes implantation will not occur, and the embryo sloughs off during menstruation. Such implantation is unique to mammals, but not all mammals exhibit it.

Angelman Syndrome
Angelman syndrome is a disorder in humans that causes neurological symptoms such as lack of speech, jerky movements, and insomnia. A human cell has two copies of twenty-three chromosomes for a total of forty-six-one copy from its mother and one from its father. But in the case of Angelman syndrome, the maternal chromosome numbered 15 has a mutation or deletion in its DNA and a gene on the paternal chromosome 15 is inactivated in some parts the brain. The result is the paternal gene is silenced during development of the sperm, which is called genetic imprinting.

Methylmercury (MeHg) is an organic form of mercury that can damage the developing brains of human fetuses. Women who consume methylmercury during pregnancy can bear children who have neurological issues because methylmercury has toxic effects on the nervous system during embryonic development. During the third week of gestation, the human nervous system begins to form in the embryo. During this gestational period, the embryo's nervous system is particularly susceptible to the influence of neurotoxins like methylmercury that can result in abnormalities.

Pity the well-off white girl who has not had to struggle with identity politics or face prejudice because of who she is (wait until she realizes the "real world" still has a glass ceiling). Blaming groups that lack the inherent privilege of caucasian heterosexuals for your own bad luck in a crapshoot is a gross distortion of affirmative action, which is imperfect but remains necessary, in some form, as long as historical inequities persist. And considering the Supreme Court was hearing gay marriage cases last week, persist they do.Goldenberg purports to care about Suzy Lee Weiss's potentially regrettable "youthful contribution to her Google search results, one that eternally allows future employers and boyfriends to find her arguing against affirmative action and disdaining diversity." Goldenberg says the WSJ was "irresponsible" to allow this naive child to display herself on the internet as "bitter" and "egocentric."
Goldenberg is, ironically, also displaying herself on the internet, and I'd say she's displaying herself as overaggressive and unfair. I just read Weiss's op-ed and it's lighthearted and self-effacing — the opposite of egocentric. She's saying I'm an ordinary kid with nothing special to put on my application, and then she mocks herself for being "[a]n underachieving selfish teenager," chattering out a bunch of phony excuses, and she signs off saying that she needs to go watch TV.
I wouldn't be surprised if Weiss shares Goldenberg's attitude about diversity policies. It seems to me that Goldenberg flipped out at one line — "If it were up to me, I would've been any of the diversities" — and completely lost her capacity to perceive humor.
Talk about embarrassing yourself on the internet!

Dierks Bentley says "it was a no brainer choice for me" when he chose his next single from the album Home. The song begs for you to let it all go and "Tip It On Back."
Bentley's current studio album has already produced three number one hits, including "Am I The Only One," "5-1-5-0" and the title track "Home." The popularity of "Tip It On Back" as a summer fan request is likely an indication that this will be the fourth hit single from Home.
"Tip It On Back" is the next single from HOME. Pretty appropriate don't you think guys? Who's ready to Tip It On Back?! bit.ly/NwUmMk — Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) August 6, 2012
"There seems to be a theme developing in my career this summer…'tip it on back,' 'country & cold cans,' the opening song to the show 'Weeds,'" Dierks explains on his website. "When we were recording this album, I knew right away I wanted this song to be a single, and I really hoped we would get to it sooner than later. The fans have been asking for it all summer, so it was a no brainer choice for me."
Listen to a preview of the song, and then watch Dierks perform "Tip It On Back" during his Live on Letterman concert webcast earlier this year.
In a behind the scenes exclusive Bentley tells how the vibe of the song is kind of an "anti-hope" song, that we are always hoping that something will leave us inspired or hoping for better days, "but the only thing I can really control right now is having a good time." This makes it pretty obvious why "Tip It On Back" has become a great summer party anthem, as fans flock to his concerts to let it all go; "blow off some steam."
Dierks is going to help some college students blow off that steam during his upcoming 'Country & Cold Cans: Back To College Tour.'
Find out what Dierks had to say about his Weeds theme song in this exclusive interview.

Does Celestant Prime turn into a truck?
When do they give the Aelves their book? I am warming to AoS so I can get a cheap intro game for my 7-year old. But most units only have the old get-you-by warscrolls.And no more wardancers. I love my wardancers Dawnspire looked good though and I found the warscrolls for Spireguards on the AoS app which was excellent. Now I can field my spearelves and Seaguards without using the old warscrolls.
Gah! How is it possible GW put everything fun on the backburner. I mean 40K have been spitting out minis and Codices and even managed to cover Sisters of Battle! But elves are just not getting anything after well over a year
I hate people who don't paint their armies, hate them with all my guts. Beats me how they value other things over painting, like eating or brushing teeth.
I assume it would be helpful to sticky this thread?Reach out (via PM) if you need anything...
What is this spam!?!?! Some new way to increase post count?I like it! Good work. If possible could you put the date when you got the price (for future entries). We could see how much prices change or when is best time to buy. Or do you think we could consider the date of post?

Tonic Cutting Dies & More
Viewer Comments
I love the dies but wow are they expensive! I've looked at different ones with different sites/suppliers and I just can not justify the cost. With only a few you have invested over $100! Can anyone explain why they are so expensive?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The cost of the dies is determined by the amount of metal used to manufacturing them. A smaller die will cost less. The larger die would use more metal, dictating the higher the cost.
Wow!!! What an extraordinary webisode. You did such a fantastic job, I am very inspired. Thank you so much.
Yay, Paper Wishes and Tonic! Way to go!
Gail, Gail, Gail! I don't scrapbook but if I did I would have to copy your It's the Little Things page! Your color choices and designs are my favorite! Thank you Paulette for getting the Tonic dies. Ordering soon!
Gail is always using the short blade scissors. What brand are they and does Hot Off The Press sell them?
I love all the cutting dies and wish I could get all 4 Money Savers, But I can't afford them all. Will there be anymore once you sell out of your supply so I can order them later?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Gail uses a personal pair of scissors, however she says they are very similar to product #4008317. She also uses product #4008318. These can both be found in the PaperWishes.com catalog.

This mighty helpful YouTube video shows just how far Valve's shooter Counter-Strike has come over the past eight years, between the release of the landmark version 1.6 and subsequent revisions like Condition Zero, Source and the upcoming Global Offensive.
All shots are from the game's trademark level, de_dust2, and show that the biggest addition to GO isn't the lighting or fancy textures. It's the power lines.

Our approach is about getting results for our clients, and developing websites and social media properties for small businesses, entrepreneurs, authors and publishers who want to experience conversion and a return on their investment - not just a pretty site.

We have multiple business that are extensions of this new logo. One of them is http://www.joomlajump.com and the other is http://www.susangilbert.com. This logo does not need to be the same colors, but should be complimentary to those entities.
Our target market is for small business owners, local market, entrepreneurs, start-ups, authors and small press publishers.
We need a logo that looks good in color, and can also stand up while in black and white only (for black and white advertising).
We have a tag line which is: More exposure, Better Results
Therefore the logo would encompass:
Online Promotion Success
More Exposure, Better Results
I would like a clean rather than busy logo, and one ideally one that graphically demonstrates the company name along with the tag line.
I like the graphing arrow and blue chart below showing growth and results
I do NOT care for the logo itself at this site. The arrow/graph could be used in our logo but I am open to creativity.
I like the multicolors of this website which is easily done with the blue/green/gray logo. So I'd like a logo that can give me flexibility when designing the website itself.
Something with a Web 2.0 look would be great
The files we require are for both Print and Web file formats.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

OVERLAND PARK, KS — Teams of cyclists and individual riders raced against the clock on Feb. 26 to help individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Pushing the pedals as fast as possible, more than 150 cyclists competed in the eighth annual Ride to Nowhere at the Athletic Club of Overland Park.
On the Saturday morning, high-energy music pumped through the gym as Julie Heitkamp, club manager, watched her indoor cycling students compete in the event. The majority of the competitors weren't members, and it was a fun way to promote fitness to the community, said Heitkamp, who won the advanced female category by spinning 20.97 miles in a half an hour. She participated in the event last year at 24 Hour Fitness and approached the MS Achievement Center about sponsoring the stationary bike race at her club this year.
Three teams of five and three individuals competed simultaneously from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. At the end of the day, prizes were awarded to the top finishers. Gloria Aguilar, event coordinator, says the Ride to Nowhere is an excellent opportunity for a health club to reach the community and allow cyclists to compete for a good cause.
The proceeds from the event benefited the Mid America MS Achievement Center, which was established in 1995 to provide therapeutic services for individuals with a progressive form of MS. For the complete race results, visit www.msachievement.org/race.html.

LITTLE ROCK — The state Medicaid program paid about $1.3 million to ineligible recipients since 2009 due to a lack of internal controls, according to a report released Friday detailing a special audit of the government health program.
The report, compiled by the state Division of Legislative Audit based an audit of selected areas of the $4 billion-a-year program, show a more than 15 percent payment error rate for 2009, a drop to just over 6.5 percent in 2010, down further to 3.27 percent in 2011 and a jump to just over 14 percent in 2012.
Release of the report comes as the Legislature considers Gov. Mike Beebe's call for expansion of the Medicaid program under the federal Affordable Care Act. State officials say expansion would make basic health coverage available for up to 250,000 of Arkansas' working poor who cannot currently afford insurance.
Republican legislative leaders have been cool to expanding Medicaid, saying ridding the program of waste, fraud and abuse should be more of a priority. Some have suggesting putting off a decision on expansion until after the current session.
The co-chairmen of the Legislative Joint Audit Committee had asked Legislative Audit to release the audit report Feb. 1, a request that drew complaints from Gov. Mike Beebe's office and the state Department of Human Services. The lawmakers agreed to a delay.
Legislative Audit posted the report on its website Friday.
The report said errors by DHS included payments to recipients who exceeded income limits, fewer than a half-dozen incidents of payments to illegal immigrants and, in one case, payments to a knowingly ineligible recipient whose case was allowed to remain open for nine years.
It noted a lack of internal controls in each of the years covered, including lack of sufficient staff and inadequately trained workers at county offices.
The special audit focused on areas deemed to be at high risk for fraud, waste and abuse. Among them were ARKids First, Aid to the Aged, Aid to the Disabled, Refugee Settlement, Family Planning and TB (tuberculosis) Services.
DHS spokeswoman Amy Webb said Friday the audit report pointed out areas where the agency had some problems in recent years that have already been addressed along with some new concerns, including some with which the agency disagrees.
"We think the special report shows a couple of things. It shows that Legislative Audit pointed out some areas that needed improvement in 2009, and we took a look at them and we improved it," Webb said. "Once they felt comfortable with that, they changed their focus to a real complex set of cases and that's where they found new areas of concern.
"We don't think those are representative of the entire program. Just as we did in 2009, we'll take a look at that and see where we can make improvements. We're responsive to concerns and we take the integrity of the Medicaid program quite seriously."
Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, co-chairman of the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee, suggested the report's narrow sampling within Medicaid likely could be followed by a more comprehensive audit of the vast program that serves about 800,000 recipients annually.
"This is a starting point as far as looking into this matter, what's in the details as far as the errors and how does that apply that later we could be looking more in depth," King said.
He said he believed a more detailed study of the entire program would provide a clearer picture of potentially substantial losses.
"We're going to look at what the audit members say, get some feedback and see where we go, but my guess is yes," he said.

Like any good Brewers fan (or Cards fan, or Sox fan, or Reds fan) I have a fairly in-depth dislike for the Chicago Cubs.
That being said, I try very hard to not get personal about it. What point is there in screaming at other fans or telling Aramis Ramirez that he sucks?
But where do you draw the line on rejoicing in the downfall of our least favorite team?
You see, tonight I was checking on the standings within the NL Central and I noticed a headline informing me that Carlos Zambrano went down during today's Cubs game with a pulled hamstring and was out pending more information and an MRI.
Often when this happens, fans of opposing teams are buoyed by the likely slump that will occur to the rival team upon the loss of one of their players. In this case, the Cubs also have Derek Lee as day-to-day with a bulging disk in his neck.
And they're visiting Miller Park next weekend, so I can't help but hope that it means a better showing for my team than their first meeting this season.
But is it wrong to cheer the injury of another player? And is it really cheering when you're excited about the possible windfall your team receives from an accident that's not at all your fault?
Invariably whenever a player goes down, some fans are excited and other's berate th0se fans for being tactless or insensitive.
But it's not like I was sitting at home rooting for Zambrano to get injured, right? Can't I be happy that my team might get a break and not have to face him?
I mean, it's unfortunate and I certainly don't wish him any permanent damage, but since it happened through no fault of our own, am I bad person if I do a little dance at the possibility that we don't have to face our division rivals' ace next Friday?
So Dear Ladies… readers – what's your advice?
(This is a picture-less post because I don't think anyone needs to see Zambrano first thing Monday morning.)

Human Torso Model for Heat Transfer Analysis
A human torso model was created for heat transfer analysis. The torso was derived from the 'Virtual Family' whole-body voxel data from the ITIS Foundation (Zurich, Switzerland). Measurements were taken from the ITIS male along the axial plane at key anatomical landmarks and used to develop geometry in Solidworks. Individual components were created to represent the skin, fat, muscle, and bone regions of the torso anatomy. Steady state heat transfer analysis was conducted in COMSOL. The torso surface was divided into four regions. Each can have its own boundary conditions, representing different clothing properties. The results show that boundary conditions in each region have impact on the temperature distribution of the skin resulting from metabolic heat production in the muscle.

I Want A Particular Room To Send Mail To "firstname.lastname@example.com" On The Addition Of A New Message
This is achievable, though not yet in a user friendly way. Currently, shell access with at least Citadel user (or root) to the Citadel Server box and Aide level access to Citadel is required.
If your installation of Citadel is not set up for peering to other Citadels, a fake connection will need to be created. Ths can be done by taking the following steps:
- Go to the Administration screen
- Configure replication with other Citadel servers
- Add a new node
- Add the Fake values
- Node Name : fakenode
- Shared secret : OpenSesame
- Host or IP address : www.test.org
- Port number : 504
- Press 'Add Node'
The newly created fake node will now be visible under Currently configured nodes.
Now that the fake peering is in place, the room from which you want to send out mail needs to be setup, if not already present. To setup this room, take the following steps: * Goto Advanced
- Create a new room
- Edit room settings, as required. Do not select Personal, as this would set the mailbox for your use only.
- Press 'Create new room'
- Enter the room
- Goto Advanced
- Edit or delete this room, as required
- Set Sharing
- Add a Remote room name for the fake node. Be sure to choose a unique string (like UniqueString) that will be easily identifiable later.
- Press Share
Now that the settings configurable via the Web interface have been completed, the more advanced shell operations can be configured.
Citadel has a netconfigs directory, which may be found in different locations depending on the type of Citadel installation. If your install is the EasyInstall version, the directory will be located in the /usr/local/citadel/netconfigs folder. For an LHFS install the directory will be located at /etc/citadel/netconfigs/. It will be in one or more files within this netconfigs directory that your UniqueString will be found. The easiest way to locate it is to grep for it, using the grep UniqueString netconfigs/* command, for example.
Your favorite editor may now be used to edit the contents of this file from:
ignet_push_share|fakenode|UniqString to
At this point, WebCit may now be used to forward email to your email@example.com address when new messages are posted to your room.
Your room may be subscribed to maiing lists without concern for possible mail loops as mail sent from email@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com, yourothercitadel.org will not send email out to email@example.com.

text: The Aquarium Conservation Team visited Dominion Cove Point LNG in Lusby, MD, in February. Though it has only been a couple of months, the American beachgrass planted by several hundred local students and volunteers is already showing great progress! Despite a harsh winter and several large storms, the grasses are holding strong and will continue to grow larger and greener throughout the summer months. As they grow, their roots will work to stabilize the new shoreline, which was created from the beneficial use of dredge material. The second stage of the community-based planting of this shoreline took place from May 11-14, when nearly 300 students and volunteers helped plant an additional 40,000 wetland grasses. Stay tuned for further updates...next time we post photos of this site, February's dune grasses will be tall and lush, and the muddy intertidal marsh area will be filled with native grasses, as well!
