The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of directors approved a pilot program today that allows operators of private commuter shuttles to use public bus stops, something they've been doing illegally for years on a very predictable basis.
The program will establish an "approved network" of 200 designated San Francisco stops where private shuttles may pick up and drop off passengers. It will issue permits and identifying placards to the private buses and require them to adhere to certain set of rules, like yielding to Muni buses if they approach the stop at the same time. (There's already a Curb Priority Law stating that any vehicles not operated by Muni will be fined $271 for blocking a bus zone. But the city has chosen to ignore that law when it comes to private commuter shuttles.)
Finally, the program will charge shuttle operators $1 per stop per day, which covers the costs of the program implementation and no more.
The meeting drew a very high turnout that included the protesters who have been blockading the buses, Google employees, private commuter shuttle drivers, and residents of various San Francisco neighborhoods.
Sup. Scott Wiener spoke at the beginning of the meeting, saying he was fully supportive of the pilot program, which was developed over the course of many months in collaboration with tech companies who operate the shuttles.
"These shuttles are providing a valuable service," Wiener said. He said he was sensitive to widespread "frustration and anxiety" around the high cost of housing and rising evictions, but thought it was unfair to blame tech workers. "We need to stop demonizing these shuttles and these tech workers," Wiener said.
Then Sup. David Campos addressed the board. "I think it's really important for us to have a dialogue to find common ground," Campos said, adding that pushing shuttle riders into private automobiles was not a good outcome. But he also urged the SFMTA board to send the proposal back to the drawing board. "It's a proposal that simply does not go far enough," he said.
Campos was also critical of the SFMTA's process of studying the growing private shuttle problem for years, drafting a proposal in collaboration with members of the tech community, and waiting until the eleventh hour once the plan had already been formulated to seek comment from community members who are impacted.
"Public input is being sought after the fact," he said.
That feeling of being frozen out of the process was echoed in comments voiced throughout the public comment session, which went on for hours.
"I'm opposed to the $1 charge," one woman said. "I believe it's way, way, way too low." She told a story of receiving a ticket for being parked in a bus zone very briefly. "It wasn't a $1 ticket," she said.
Another woman, who said she was born and raised in SF, said she'd been riding Muni since she was in diapers. "It makes me really sad that we have regional shuttles and corporations that are saying, you can't just fix that system, we're going to go around it," she said. She urged members of the transit agency board to find a better system that would work for everyone, "because you are in charge."
A Google employee told board directors that she is very pleased that the shuttles have made it possible for her to live in San Francisco. "Not everyone at Google is a billionaire," she said. "Ten years after the fact I am still paying my student loans. This is a choice, I know, to live in San Francisco and commute to Mountainview. But I wouldn't have it any other way."
Her perspective, however, came in sharp contrast to that of Roberto Hernandez, who spoke on behalf of Our Mission No Eviction and said he was worried that displacement caused by rising rents have forced many members of his community to move to the East Bay.
Hernandez also brought up a little-known consequence of transit delays caused by private shuttle buses.
In the elementary schools near 24th Street in the Mission, he said, "They have the breakfast program for people who are low-income. So if you show up late, you don't get breakfast."
Here's Hernandez addressing the SFMTA board members.
In the end, the transit directors approved the pilot with very little discussion. "At the end of the day, this is before us as a transit issue," said board member Malcolm Heinicke. "And we're better with something than nothing."

Entrepreneurial tech hubs are emerging across the country. The opportunities once reserved for entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley have now expanded beyond those borders, reaching Midwestern hotbeds like Detroit and Chicago, and even northeastern locales such as Newark and Washington, D.C. But the commercial capital of the southeastern U.S., Atlanta, has all the makings of a robust tech ecosystem.
With the nation's busiest airport, a high concentration of colleges and universities, and Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola, Home Depot and UPS headquartered in Atlanta, among other things, the city's emerging tech scene is slowly inching up on the highly-coveted "top" lists.
After visiting Atlanta during Digital Undivided's START weekend earlier this year and exploring the scene, self-described mobile evangelist Sian Morson decided she wanted in. "I had some friends here who were telling me what was going on in the scene and so I made a couple of visits," says Morson, who, at the time, also began floating her co-working space idea around. Before she knew it, the Oakland resident packed up her belongings and moved to Atlanta, opening Kollective South in the Castleberry Hill area in October. Located near Atlanta's Central Business District, KSouth is the newest co-working community in town and already generating quite a buzz within the local tech community. "I just wanted to give back in my own way and so KSouth is my way to do that," says Morson.
BlackEnterprise.com caught up with the Kollective Mobile founder to discuss the inspiration behind Kollective South, bringing tech innovation to urban areas and what's next for the mobile maven.
Opening doors at co-working space: It was a very short journey, Morson recalls. "From idea to actually opening the doors was probably about three months," she says.
Bringing tech literacy to Castleberry: Morson made a conscious choice to bring KSouth to an area of Atlanta not known for tech and innovation. The community's needs run the gamut, but Morson is determined to bring tech to this urban area. "What I'm hoping is this becomes sort of a focal point in the community that it's in right now, in Castleberry Hill. I'm hoping that people associate the space with technology. I've had people in here asking me to help them set up their iPad and a gentleman who asked me to help him with his food stamps."
Since opening its doors, KSouth's space has been utilized by several social enterprises and local organizations such as Atlanta Food and Farm, Social Mission Architects and STEM-based non-profits like Black Girls Code, and the Walker's Legacy Leading Legacy Atlanta Women in Business Meet and Greet event took place at the space last month. And it's more than a co-working space, the communi-tech center plans to offer classes on mobile ideation, WordPress, HTML and CSS.
Her overall goal is to bridge the tech gap. "What I'm hoping is that the place is not exclusive by any stretch of the imagination, but what I'm hoping is to create some sort of a groundswell in terms of technology and black tech right here."
Creating your own tech ecosystem: "Don't try to copy what New York is doing. Don't try to copy what the Bay Area is doing," advises the Bronx, NY-native, who has spent a significant amount of time in the San Francisco area. "Use the unique attributes of your city or your town, and then go from there."
Next steps: Morson is writing a book, Learn Design for iOS Development, for APress. Outside of the book, she looks forward to exploring Atlanta's tech scene further and expanding Kollective Mobile, her mobile development agency located in Oakland. "Once the book is off my plate, then I'd love to get more creative and dive deep into what's going on down here."

There's a new weapon in the war for television supremacy, and with a range of 400 feet, the Ninja Remote promises to confuse, befuddle, and enrage TV junkies from a safe distance that won't get you immediately beat up.
The remote is programmed to automatically work with nearly all TVs on the market, blasting an array of codes every time you press the power, volume, and channel buttons. And while the extended range is handy for pranksters who'd like to remain anonymous, the high-powered IR emitters can also jam and prevent other remotes from working, giving you all the power.
In addition to standard TV functions, the $30 Ninja Remote also has a bomb function that will cause a TV to randomly change channels and volume levels for 5 to 15 minutes, driving viewers particularly mad. But it means you can hide it somewhere and leave the room while it wreaks havoc, giving you an alibi that it couldn't possibly be your doing.
But saving the best for last, the remote is also now programmed to trigger the shutter on 99 percent of the digital cameras on the market. Letting you snap random pointless shots on other people's cameras. So before these things become popular again, I recommend breaking out the black electrical tape and covering your camera's IR sensor. [ThinkGeek]

(visited by Wolfgang Vogel and Silke Heilig)
27-Mar-2002 -- This is our first trip to visit confluences in Norway although we know the country already from the coastline by sailboat.
This is the easiest point of our journey because it is just 1 km ahead of our place for the night. We start the trip in sunshine with some cold blast of wind and follow the track from a snowmobile.
Have someone else visited the confluence during the last few days? Fortunately the track leads into another direction later on so we can follow the GPS through virgin snow for the rest of the distance. The confluence is in a depression surrounded by mountains from three sides glimpsing through the trees, pines and birch, well worth seeing!

Just a happy go lucky little thread here to discuss the goings on of the crossover.
I'd like to say, pay close attention to places where the events in the art, and the language in text contrast against one another. If you catch that, you'll be able to guess what's going on a lot sooner.

Sigma 8mm Fisheye Canon 350D MrotatorCP
- Sigma 8mm f/4
- Canon 350D
- Agnos MrotatorCP
- With the above combination I can shoot a panorama in either six or three shots with yaws of 60 or 120 degrees respectively.
- For the three shots process, position the camera 4mm backward in relation to its calibrated position for the six shots process.
- If your aim is the three shots process (a time winner for cheap real-estate service), you will be better served with a Nikon D70 for which the MrotatorC was originally designed. It has a larger sensor, which gives you more overlap. The overlap of the images with the Canon 350D is extremely small.
The process that works for me (with PTgui):
- import source images
- set approximate lens settings
- set panorama settings
- the crop is automatically good
- set image parameters
- distribute images by yaw (thank you Joost for the Fill yaw function!)
- roll all images -60 (the Agnos MrotatorC holds the camera at 60 degrees to use as much possible of the sensor surface)
- set approximate pitch (thank you Luca for the great idea of orienting the camera slightly up, giving better coverage of the zenith)
- set control points (i add at least two vertical lines)
- first advanced optimizer run:
- pitch on all images, including anchor image, linked
- all lens parameter excluding horizontal shear (g)
- important: no optimization of yaw and roll. The MrotatorC is solid and precise. I shoot with a wired remote and found that the positions are very consistent
- second advanced optimizer run: if necessary, optimize a second time for all parameters including yaw and roll
- blend and stitch, serve hot with either a Java applet or QuickTime
Lens Parameters
Can be stored in PTgui's lens database
- lens type: circular
- a: -0.023487
- b: 0.022401
- c: -0.047265
- d: 11.088037
- e: 36.365823
- g: 0
- t: 2.753861
- the above process works with my guinea pig, a little 5x5 (1.50mx1.50m) shower/wc room, as well as with some larger rooms.
- I did not have to run the second optimizing run
- Hypothesis: since the entry point of the lens changes with the angle, for a perfect, uncorrected stitch exact slices should be used, like an orange. To be verified.
Michel Thoby has studied the Sigma 8mm in detail Agnos MrotatorC

Yesterday (yes, during the Seahawks game, yes, yes) we launched our new, faster, and hopefully much-easier-to-use website.
It's the product of months of testing with a variety of demographics, and the site is designed to be much more intuitive than our former site. On the old site, consumers could complete only 1/3 of the typical tasks we gave them. Now it's over 80 percent, and we're going to keep tweaking things to try to improve that further.
Take a look.

Some said it couldn't be done, but we set out to prove all the doubters wrong and found 50 Wii games that could only be classified as awesome. We got through the initial hurdle, presenting 10 impressive endeavors worth playing on Nintendo's shiny console. Now, though, we're taking a look at 10 more titles that are worthy of your time and attention as our very serious list of the top 50 Wii titles rolls on, and will continue until the launch of the Wii U this Sunday!
40. NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
While a massive amount of praise has always been bestowed upon the Saturn classic NiGHTS into Dreams, the game's sequel NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams didn't get nearly as much recognition. That really is a shame because Sega's second foray into the lore of NiGHTS was a superb example of dreamy on-rails flying and colorful charm. If you can bear with the cheesy story and voice acting, Journey of Dreams serves as a stellar successor to the original Saturn title.
39. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
While not as well-received as its GameCube predecessor, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn on the Wii was still a highly polished tactical RPG romp. The surprisingly high level of difficulty was daunting, no doubt, but that only served to make victories that much more rewarding. Ultimately, while this game would be hard to recommend to a newer audience, Fire Emblem aficionados definitely had something to really dig into and enjoy on the Wii with Radiant Dawn.
38. Klonoa
After much success on the original PlayStation, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was remade for the Wii. The new version of the game, simply titled Klonoa, offered an even more charming experience thanks to its updated visuals. What didn't change was the sheer quality of the platforming gameplay which was solid the entire time. Sadly, unlike the original, Klonoa became a bit of a cult hit on the Wii, appealing mostly to a small group of gamers.
37. Punch-Out!!
Nintendo decided to capitalize on one of its early favorites during the Wii's life cycle. After the success of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on the NES, it made all the sense in the world to resurrect this fast-paced boxing title. Little Mac really did have one last run left in him as was proven by the wholly entertaining and wonderfully charming Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Whether you were a fan of the original or a newcomer to the series, this iteration of Nintendo's brand of boxing was a true champ … unlike that poor pun we just used.
36. Battalion Wars 2
After a successful outing on the GameCube, the Battalion Wars series saw a return a few years later on the Wii. Battalion Wars 2 delivered more of the tried and true strategy gameplay that the original was known for, all the while improving the overall feel of the game and throwing in some new mechanics and modes. With a nicely paced single-player campaign and fun online component, Battalion Wars 2 quickly became a favorite for many Wii owners, and rightfully so.
35. Ivy the Kiwi?
Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka went down a different path when he took on the role of designer for Ivy the Kiwi? The game starred an adorable bird that automatically ran around the game screen, and it was up to the player to draw vines using the Wii Remote to help guide her onto ledges, away from perils, and toward collectible feathers. Ivy the Kiwi? was a pleasant amalgamation of rich presentation and poignant puzzle-like level design. With its storybook visuals, catchy music, and engaging gameplay, this on-rails puzzle platformer was a sheer joy to play on the Wii, even if saying its title made you sound like an airhead. "I, like, totally like Ivy the Kiwi? Like, OMG!"
34. Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy
Based on the freeware hit Tumiki Fighters, Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy had the distinction of being one of the more unique titles on the Wii at the time of its launch. The game offered up a distinct brand of side-scrolling shoot 'em up gameplay crossed with Katamari Damacy-esque elements. Enemies you shot down could be collected and used as protective armor on your ever-growing aircraft, and the fast-paced action made for a hectic experience. These tropes alone would've provided a functional and complete game, but Blast Works even featured an editor for players to create ships, bosses, and stages, as well as online functionality to trade creations with others.
33. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
WarioWare: Smooth Moves launched on a Wii system devoid of Mario Party back in 2007. While there was still the enjoyable Rayman Raving Rabbids, a Nintendo-flavored party game was definitely missing, and Wii Sports didn't have enough staying power to provide a proper fix. What we got with Smooth Moves was a fast-paced micro-game collection for up to 12 players that easily trumped anything Mario Party would ever do on the console in subsequent years.
32. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
After its predecessor initially launched exclusively in Japan on the Nintendo 64, it would be easy for a lot of gamers to completely disregard Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. The fact of the matter, however, is that this on-rails shoot 'em up was a delightful experience rife with hectic gameplay, intense action, and sick style. Here's hoping Star Successor doesn't mark the end of this series, because it would be a fine franchise on the Wii U.
31. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Oh, Silent Hill, how low you've fallen. Sadly, while this particular survival horror franchise may not exactly be all that great these days, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the Wii was a hell of a game. To call it the last great title in the series would certainly be fitting. The game was also available on the PlayStation 2 and PSP, but the Wii is where it managed to shine brightest. The haunting setting, wonderful pacing, unsettling vibe, and Wiimote-friendly puzzles created an experience that was truly unforgettable, unlike the recent Downpour which people are really just trying to forget about.
We've gotten through 20 great Wii games and there are 30 left. What titles will make the cut next?

As I said on my previous post, I would like to see the lines that divides OpenSolaris and Linux, as blurred as possible (or deleted). Latest comments from Linus about the GPLv3 sounds promising, but even more promising is the response from Jonathan. So here we are, I now can see the day where Linux and Solaris can reach a common point.
Meanwhile, it seems that we can do better with our patch policy. Darren has already answered to the avahi issue, sometimes, is not as easy as Sun does not get it, but, some projects just don't get it that API stability decisions does matters to avoid crappiness, bugginess and bronkeness in the long term.
I would also like to point out that, Inidiana is a binary distribution project inside the OpenSolaris.org community, and right now is anything but a discussion mailing list and a bunch of good ideas and intentions, so nothing to do with Gnome patches for Solaris and Solaris Express.
I'm leaving now to attend the monthly Irish Python User Group meeting.

Pre-Show Notes: The belief among the wrestlers is that tomorrow's announcement will indeed be Impact going to Mondays, but we'll see.....2 Cold Scorpio, who lives in the Orlando area, is backstage. I haven't heard he's coming in but would certainly be a great hand to add to the company...TNA filmed a lot of vignettes last night, so expect tons of backstage segments.
The PPV opened with Ric Flair storming in the building with Christy Hemme trying to calm him. Flair was irate about Eric Bischoff being added as the special referee tonight. He said that everyone knows he hates Bischoff and when he gets his hands on Bischoff, he's going to get the respect he deserves. He said that he's not going to let Bischoff hate for him spill over to AJ Styles and effect Styles' run as TNA champion. Flair told Hemme to go tell Bischoff he's looking for him and Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are going to show Flair the respect he deserves as "a God around here" or else.
TNA aired a video feature on tonight's event.
8 Card Stud Tournament: Pope D'Angelo Dinero vs. Desmond Wolfe
The crowd was strongly behind Dinero. They did some nice back and forth opening sequences early. Wolfe began using his European style on Dinero, who reversed several unique moves. Wolfe nailed him with a European uppercut but Dinero nailed him with several clubbering elbows and a flying forearm.
Wolfe tossed Dinero to the floor and when he returned to the apron, snapped him over the ropes. Wolfe went for the Tower of London but Dinero escaped. Wolfe took out Dinero's legs and began focusing on his shoulder, driving him shoulder first into the corner. Wolfe followed it up with a modified armbar. Dinero tried to make a comeback but snapped into a DDT for a two count.
Wolfe tied up Dinero in a cravate headlock and scissored Dinero's leg with his own. Dinero broke free and nailed a series of forearm shots, followed by a clothesline. He nailed an inverted atomic drop and a flying forearm. Dinero hit a flying bodypress off the top rope for a two count.
Wolfe nailed a catapult into the corner but Pope stopped himself and clocked Wolfe with a back elbow. He ascended to the top but Wolfe cut him off and nailed a superplex. Wolfe covered Dinero for a two count. Wolfe went for a lariat but Dinero ducked and rolled him up from behind. Wolfe yanked Dinero's shoulder. He missed a charge into the corner. Dinero used the ropes to snap Wolfe's neck to the mat.
Dinero nailed the Dinero Express in the corner and scored the pin.
Your winner, advancing, D'Angelo Dinero!
Real good opener. Some nice wrestling here as both continue to impress inside the ring.
Ric Flair stormed into Eric Bischoff's office. He demanded to know why Bischoff added himself to the main event and said that Bischoff can't act like God, because Flair is the only wrestling God around here. He told Bischoff any changes have to go through Flair because he's AJ Styles' manager. Bischoff said he thinks Flair is mad Styles has to defend against Samoa Joe tonight. Flair said he didn't care about that because Styles is the best and the best always wins, plus he has Flair in his corner. Bischoff said he will call the match down the middle and warned Flair to "keep his distance tonight." Flair looked like he wanted to jump Bischoff but instead walked off. Bischoff started rubbing his face out of frustration. Good stuff from both men.
Jeremy Borash interviewed the TNA Tag Team champions Hernandez and Matt Morgan. They basically said that they would still be the champions after tonight but they have to face each other due to the luck of the draw. They wished each other well.
8 Card Stud tournament: TNA Tag Team champion Matt Morgan vs. TNA Tag Team champion Hernandez
They locked up at the bell with Morgan forcing Hernandez into the corner. Clean break. They lock up again, this time with Morgan being backed up. Deja vu with the clean break. Morgan grabbed a side headlock but was shoved off. He rebounded off the ropes and took Hernandez down with a series of shoulder blocks. Hernandez responded in kind and Morgan went down.
Morgan came back with a kick to the gut but missed the Carbon Footprint. Hernandez went for the Border Toss but Morgan escaped. He nailed his rapid fire back elbows in the corner. He charged Hernandez in the corner but was kicked in the gut. Hernandez went to the top for a bodypress. Morgan was supposed to catch him but they ended up crumbling to the ground and Hernandez covered him for a near fall.
Hernandez was selling his ribs as Morgan nailed an Avalanche in the corner. Morgan nailed a side slam for a two count. He choked Hernandez's throat against the top rope then launched himself atop Morgan, clotheslining his partner over the top rope. Morgan drops a guillotine legdrop across Hernandez' throat on the apron.
Morgan covered his partner but Hernandez kicked up. Morgan yelled at him to stay down. Hernandez tried to escape a side headlock but was blasted in the ribs. Morgan maneuvered Hernandez onto the apron but was hit with a slingshot shoulderblock into the ring. Hernandez exploded with offense, including a splash in the corner for a two count. Hernandez avoided a backdrop attempt and picked up Morgan for a delayed vertical suplex.
Morgan rolled out onto the rampway to the ring. Hernandez hit a dive over the ropes onto Morgan. Hernandez grabbed his shoulder as he landed and immediately went down grabbing his shoulder. Hernandez was almost counted out but Morgan stopped him, saying he didn't want to win that way. Morgan held the ropes for his partner to get in the ring, then ran him into the corner shoulder-first and rolled Hernandez up, hooking the tights.
Your winner, Matt Morgan!
Morgan held up Hernandez' arm after but Hernandez shoved him off and walked out. Really solid match that set the stage for a teased heel turn from Morgan at the end when he cheated to win by taking advantage of his partner and hooking the tights to boot. You can't expect Malenko vs. Guerrero from guys of this size but for what it was, minus that one miscue, I thought this was really enjoyable.
So, Pope vs. Morgan in Round Two. Weird mix on paper.
They aired a video feature on the Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles feud.
Christy Hemme interviewed Kurt Angle. Angle said that he owed a huge apology to Hulk Hogan. He said that last Thursday, Hogan had his back when the Band attacked Angle. Angle said that as a man, he knows Hogan has his back. Hemme asked Angle about mental preparation for tonight given his beating on Thursday. Angle said he's a pro and is going to burn through the tournament and get his title shot. He said he's going to introduce Ken Anderson to TNA the only way he knows how, by beating his ass in the ring. Oh it's real, it's damn real.
8 Card Stud Tournament: Mr. Anderson vs. Kurt Angle
Anderson introduced himself as the winner of this match and the one after that and the one after that. Great line.
In the ring, they started out slow with some back and forth wrestling. Angle worked a side headlock on Anderson early. Angle charged Anderson in the corner but Anderson moved and Angle drilled his shoulder into the ringpost. Anderson began mocking him, then began digging the medal Angle wore to the ring into Angle's face, busting him open. Anderson began stomping Angle's face and worked him over with punches in a corner.
Angle tried to battle back with several rights but was caught with a DDT. Anderson cinched in a rear chinlock. Angle made his way back and nailed a belly-to-belly overhead suplex. Angle drilled Anderson with a clothesline for a two count. The storyline the announcers were pushing were how long Angle could go while losing so much blood. Angle began drilling Anderson with a series of German suplexes.
Angle went for the Angleslam but Anderson avoided it and hit his rolling forward Samoan Drop for a two count. Anderson began unhooking a turnbuckle pad. When the referee began fixing it, Anderson ripped a second one off. He tried to slam Angle's face into it but Angle held him off and drilled an Angleslam for a two count.
Angle pulled the strap down and cinched in an anklelock. Anderson kicked him off. Angle charged Anderson into a corner but Anderson moved and Angle ran headlong into the exposed turnbuckle. Anderson hit the Mic Check and scored the clean pinfall on Angle.
Your winner, Ken Anderson!
After the match, Anderson draped the medal on Angle's chest and snotted him. Match was solid and told a good story. It was obvious TNA was trying to springboard Anderson as a player here.
Backstage, Eric Bischoff told Mick Foley and Abyss he was sorry he put them in this situation but when you run a wrestling company you have to give the fans the best entertainment. He warned them to kill each other, not to work in collusion or else Abyss would have to unmask. Foley asked him how they knew he wasn't going to pull something on them. Bischoff said he would make it a No DQ match so they could use a barbed wire bat, but if he didn't think they were treating this as their most important match, Abyss' mask was a goner. Abyss didn't want to have to beat up Foley but Foley was fine with doing what had to be done.
8 Card Stud Tournament: Abyss vs. Mick Foley - No DQ.
Interesting to see them making this more or less a hardcore match on paper since you would think that would be what's planned for 3D vs. Nasties, but we'll see.
Foley came out with the barbed wire bat and was dressed in old school Cactus Jack leopard print. Abyss grabbed a headlock on Foley, then shoulderblocked him down. Foley went to grab the bat but Abyss kicked it away from him. Abyss nailed a splash in the corner. Fans chanted for Abyss to use the bat but he had his doubts after he picked it up, so he dropped it back down.
Abyss told Foley he didn't want to use the bat, so Mick slapped and punched him. He dared Abyss to use the bat while punching him, trying to fire up Abyss. Abyss began drilling Foley with right hands. Foley went to the floor. Abyss followed. They brawled around ringside. Foley grabbed a fan's chair and beat Abyss over the back with it. Foley worked over Abyss, screaming at him to use the bat and asking him if he wanted to lose his mask.
Back in the ring, Foley grabbed the bat but Abyss kicked him as Foley charged. Abyss choked Foley against the ropes. He shot Mick into the ropes but Foley caught him with a swinging neckbreaker as he rebounded. Foley worked over Abyss with a series of forearms in the corner. He grabbed a sack of thumbtacks and spread them across the ring. Foley tried to punch Abyss into the tacks but was grabbed by the throat. Abyss teased slamming him on the tacks but instead slammed him in the corner away from them for a two count. The announcers wondered if that could be what Bischoff needed as ammunition.
Abyss grabbed Mr. Socko away from Foley for the Mandible Claw but was hit with the double arm DDT. Since he had no sock, Foley pulled one off the referee. Abyss and Foley used the Mandible Claw on each other at the same time but eventually only Foley had it cinched him. Abyss faded down to the mat. The referee checked Abyss' arms to see if he was out. Meanwhile, red Mike Posey is walking around the ring with one foot barefoot. Sheesh, put the sneaker back on!
Foley grabbed the barbed wire bat but Abyss grabbed him and nailed the Black Hole Slam into the tacks for the pin. The storyline was that Abyss was going on instinct and didn't "want" to hurt Foley.
Your winner, Abyss!
After the match, Abyss was checking on Foley and removing tacks. This was OK (nothing memorable) but it told a good story. Actually, I think all the first round matches told a basic but solid story in each bout, although whether you were going to be into it or not was subjective.
Backstage, Christy Hemme interviewed The Nasty Boys. Brian Knobbs said that they know why they are here, but everyone assumes they know why. Knobbs said that everyone knows they are Hulk Hogan's longtime friends and he told them to go through the TNA Tag Team roster and show them what real tag teams are all about. He said they went right after Team 3D because they are the top tag team here and if they can't beat 3D, why are they even here? Promo was fine.

On Easter morning, an ornate 500-year- old, 30-foot cart is paraded through the streets of Florence Italy by a team of white oxen covered with flowers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FmiZNeYbto&feature=fvwrel.
The oxen cart is escorted by men dressed as Roman soldiers, city officials, musicians and flag-throwers dressed in medieval costumes from the Porta al Prato to the magnificent Piazza del Duomo . This annual event is called Lo Scoppio del Carro. This "Explosion of the Cart" celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and a new beginning.
After the 11:00 Easter Mass in the Duomo, the "Explosion of the Cart" will occur in front of the Baptistery at noon. The cart is pre-loaded with fireworks. A wire that stretches from the altar inside the Duomo is rigged with a mechanical dove with an olive branch in her beak called the "Columbina" (little dove) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT5qr1xqbKo&feature=related.
The olive branch and the dove symbolize the Holy Spirit as well as Easter peace. After the parishoners sing "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" (Glory to God in the Highest) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MuHQ2cxPr8&feature=fvst, the Cardinal of Florence will light a fuse that travels from the Church to ignite the cart in the Piazza. The fire is ignited by historic flints from Jerusalem. During this event, the Bells from Giotto's Bell Tower will be joyously ringing.
The traditional annual event lasts for about twenty minutes. A successful explosion signifies a good harvest and good business in the coming year which translates into good news for the wine-makers of Tuscany.
Lo Scoppio del Carro festivities originated in the First Crusade when Europeans seiged the city of Jerusalem in an attempt to claim Palestine for Christianity. Bishop Ranieri took over Jerusalem during the First Crusade and on July 15, 1099, Pazzino di Ranieri de Pazzi's army defeated Jerusalem and hung a Christian banner on the walls of the Holy City. Pazzino de Pazzi, a wealthy Florentine, was the first man to scale the walls of Jerusalem. As a reward, his commander-in-chief, Godfrey IV de Buillon gave him three chips of stone from the Holy Sepulcher of Christ which he brought back to Florence in 1101.
These flints were held by the Pazzi family for many years and were used to spark the "New Fire" which symbolized new life. The fire was shared with other families to help ignite things around the house like candles and fireplaces. These lights were put out on Good Friday and then lit again on Easter Sunday.
The city of Florence assumed the responsibility and the tradition of passing the fire from Jerusalem. For many years, the stone chips were kept in the Church of Santa Maria Sopra Porta, but in 1785, the Holy Sepulcher stones were moved to the Chiesa degli Santi Apostoli. Watch this slide presentation to see the event:
The Holy Fire has traditionally been struck from these ancient flints at Eastertide to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. In 1494, the Cart Explosion was lit in front of the Baptistery for the first time. They were also lit on the street corner of the Pazzi family. The lighting in front of the Pazzi family was discontinued in 1900. Over 500 years ago, the exciting tradition of lighting fireworks on Easter Sunday assumed its present form in Florence.

top: H&M
cardigan: ivors
rings: H&M + freedom
As soon as got home today I decided to do a outfit post, Its a bit bland, Sometimes I put off posting what I would deem "boring" outfits. But I really fancied doing something blog related today! So there we go, Burgundy cardigan + Leopard playsuit combo! I though the playsuit would be a bit in your face for a whole "dressing down"outfit. I'm staying in with a chinese meal and the Xfactor tonight, So put a top over it. In my head I was imaging this outfit with a nice cropped tshirt so it sits on the waist band more, but borrowed this oversized top from my Mum and thought it was acceptable! I really think leopard needs to be paired down this season with greens, burgundy and brown tones. Definitely something I want to explore a bit this A/W, Other trends I really want to get into for A/W is Shearling Jackets, biker boots as well as chunky knits!
I think probably due to my lack of money I haven't been buying much recently which has made me not really feel the whole fashion thing. Not that I have to have new things all the time to dress interestingly. Clothes have taken as backseat over the last week though, Seeing as I have to wear a uniform during the day, Well I have to wear New Look Concessions stuff, I just wear the same thing everyday to work, then change into something basic when I'm home. Despite the fact I have a double wardrobe full of clothes, I always find it hard to find something to wear. I presume this is a common girl problem though! Oh well 10 days till payday! YAY! I've got a full basket on the Topshop website that I'm going to get when I get paid, and I've spied a load of things in New Look I want too! Being paid monthly is going to so different for me!
I just want to say a big thanks to everyone's whos commented or emailed me over the past few days. You are all to sweet! You've made me feel so much more positive! and RE: The Formspring issue, I've decided to make it so only people who are logged into formspring can ask me questions, Hopefully it will bring an end to the trolling and mean the people who want help can still get it quickly and easily! I may change it back if things calm down a bit!

It is cheaper in a set!

Endless joy
Thanks to the stabilisation process that increases the fabric's shrink-resistance and the durability of materials used, you can enjoy using our products even longer.
Now you can only put them into a washing machine and then dry to be able to wear them again. And they will still look as great as on the day when you first got them.
Warmth without limits
Children love being always on the go. They are fond of playing outdoors. Regardless of the weather and temperature outside. That's why we have created caps and snood scarves that are perfect for chilly, windy days and make you feel warm and comfortable. Thanks to this your child will be able to spend more time walking, cycling, and playing outdoors.
Cotton softness 95% cotton – this is exactly what you need to give the cap the right softness and make it pleasant to wear. Remember that cotton is 100% natural fabric. It's a natural protection against the cold that provides the right air circulation.
This is why we use it for making our children's caps. Because children are our most demanding customers.
Total fun
Clothes for children must face numerous challenges invented by little pickles. All parents know it well. Therefore, we have made sure that our caps survive any conditions.
And when the play is over, they should be washed and dried so that they are ready for another adventure coming on the next day.
A piece of cake
Our snood scarves are products that are perfectly tailored to children's needs. Just put them on the neck with one move and you don't have to worry about a thing. A snood scarf will stay in its place and not fall off during play, and after coming back home the child will take it off fast and easily. Much easier than in the case of traditional scarves.
Elastic and stretchy
Cotton is the basis. Yet it's the 5% Spandex content that makes our caps perfectly fit the shape and size of your child's head. It's important that they are delicate and comfortable at the same time.
You don't have to worry that the cap will pinch your child. It will love walking on chilly days.

No good options when it comes to Syria… Jeffrey Goldberg: But not acting might be the worst option… Obama sells immigration reform at Bush library dedication… On the FAA fix: Business travelers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your frequent-flyer miles!.... Our weekly 2016 round-up… Cuccinelli's up on the air, while McAuliffe's car company remains in the news… One camp is trying to be likeable (Cuccinelli's), while the other camp isn't (McAuliffe's)... And "Meet" has John McCain and Tony Blair.
*** No good options when it comes to Syria: The Obama administration yesterday did two somewhat contradictory things regarding Syria's bloody civil war. One, it confirmed that Syria might have crossed the red line President Obama established -- using chemical weapons against it people. "The U.S. intelligence community assesses with some degree of varying confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said yesterday, per NBC's Jim Miklaszewski. But two, the administration wasn't sure about the intelligence. "We still have some uncertainties about what was used, what kind of chemicals were used, where it was used, who used it," Hagel added. So why the two contradictory messages? Well, for one thing, the administration was sort of forced into publicly disclosing this intelligence, because if it didn't, everyone else was (not just the Brits and Israelis, but lawmakers on Capitol Hill). Secondly, this is all about buying time to further cobble together an international coalition opposing the Assad regime (just as Obama meets with Jordan's King Abdullah II at 1:55 pm ET today). But there's another reason why the administration is trying to buy time: Because there are no good options.
Handout / Reuters
Demonstrators carry banners and Syrian opposition flags during a protest against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in Kafranbel, near Idlib, April 26, 2013.
*** But not acting might be the worst option: Indeed, even the hawks are split about what to do when it comes to Syria. Do you institute the no-fly zone? Put U.S. boots on the ground? Arm the rebels (who could turn out to be another problem down the road)? And this was the cloud hanging over the dedication of the Bush library yesterday -- the American public probably doesn't have the stomach about intervening (one way or another) in a foreign civil war. But as Jeffrey Goldberg writes, the Obama administration not acting might be the worst consequence of all. "There are no good choices -- good outcomes in Syria are impossible to imagine. But if it is proved to a certainty that Assad is trying to kill his people with chemical weapons, then Obama may have no choice but to act, not only because he has put the country's credibility on the line … but also because the alternative -- allowing human beings to be murdered by a monstrous regime using the world's most devilish weapons, when he has the power to stop it -- is not a moral option for a moral man." And Goldberg recalls this line that Obama said when he was a senator: "What I don't want to see happen is for Iraq to become an excuse for us to ignore misery or human-rights violations or genocide."
*** Obama sells immigration reform at the Bush library: Speaking of yesterday's dedication of the Bush library, perhaps the biggest news -- other than Barbara Bush saying that the country has had enough Bushes in the Oval Office -- was Obama selling immigration reform by invoking George W. Bush's legacy. "I am hopeful that this year, with the help of Speaker Boehner and some of the senators and members of Congress who are here today, that we bring it home -- for our families, and our economy, and our security, and for this incredible country that we love," Obama said. "And if we do that, it will be in large part thanks to the hard work of President George W. Bush." When you think about it, this was perhaps the largest Republican audience that Obama has ever addressed, and he put the prospects of immigration reform this way: "Passing immigration reform is just as much George W. Bush's legacy as it is mine."
*** Business travelers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your frequent-flyer miles! NBC's Kasie Hunt and Mike O'Brien report that the Senate last night passed a measure to give the FAA flexibility to prevent the air-traffic-controller furloughs and delayed flights across the country. "Senators unanimously approved the 'Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013' — a patch to fix the deep cuts that have furloughed air traffic controllers and delayed flights across the country… The House could take the bill up tomorrow and pass it with two-thirds support of that chamber." So let's get this straight: As soon as business travelers are inconvenienced for LESS THAN A WEEK, Congress takes action to fix the sequester. But where are the fixes to the sequester cuts to programs benefiting the poor, like Head Start? The White House, which said it will sign the fix into law, made that very point even as it showed no stomach for this fight. "We hope Congress will find the same sense of urgency and bipartisan cooperation to help the families who have had children kicked out of Head Start, the seniors who have lost access to Meals On Wheels, the hard-working employees who have been laid off due to defense cuts, and the 750,000 Americans who have lost a job or won't find one because of the sequester." The lesson here: Congress will act, but only if it and its friends are hurt or simply inconvenienced. That's a devastating indictment on how Washington works.
*** Our weekly 2016 round-up: On Thursday, the dedication of the George W. Bush presidential library featured two potential 2016 attendees: Hillary Clinton (who gave her first paid speech the day before) and Jeb Bush (whose mother said there were already enough Bush presidents)… Marco Rubio starred in a new TV ad by GOP supporters of comprehensive immigration reform… On Wednesday, Joe Biden delivered a moving speech at a memorial for the slain MIT police officer… His wife, Jill, has a new Twitter account… Rand Paul said the Boston bombings should put immigration reform on hold, and he also appeared to flip-flop on drones… Paul Ryan championed immigration reform… And Martin O'Malley, in Israel, talked about his 2016 intentions. "I plan for the latter half of this year to dedicate some more thought time — reflection time — to the question of whether or not I would run in 2016," he said. O'Malley also gave Netanyahu a Joe Flacco jersey.
*** Surprise, surprise -- Toomey's approval rating goes up: We said Pat Toomey (R-PA) had a political motivation, looking ahead to 2016, to work on that background-check compromise with Joe Manchin (D-WV). "Though the background-check amendment co-sponsored by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., failed last week to earn enough votes to be adopted, Toomey's standing among Pennsylvania voters is now at the highest point of his three-plus-year term, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Friday," National Journal's Steven Shepard writes. Toomey's approval is 48%/30%, up from 43%/32% before the background-check push in March; Sen. Bob Casey (D) gets a similar 48%/34% approval, the same as March; President Obama's is split at 48%/48%, an improvement over his underwater 44%/51% approval last month.
*** Cuccinelli up on the air, McAuliffe's car company remains in the news: In Virginia's gubernatorial contest, Ken Cuccinelli (R) is up with his first TV ad of the race -- and it appears intended to soften the Republican's image, especially with female voters. The ad, which will begin running on statewide TV on Monday, features his wife speaking to the camera. "I'm Teiro Cuccinelli. My husband Ken has spent his life standing up for the vulnerable and those in need," she says. "He's worked the night shift at a homeless shelter, spent his college days leading efforts to prevent sexual assaults, and represented those suffering from mental illness. As attorney general, Ken fought to find and prosecute child predators and human traffickers. Virginia deserves a Governor who is experienced, principled, and honest. I think you'll find that's what Ken Cuccinelli is all about." This new ad comes as the New York Times dives into the controversies surrounding the car company, GreenTech, formerly owned by Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe. "Documents have surfaced questioning his explanation for why he located the plant in Mississippi, not Virginia, including memos from Virginia officials expressing 'grave doubts' about his business model and suggesting its financing was a "visa-for-sale scheme" for Chinese investors."
*** One camp is trying to be likeable; the other isn't: What ought to scare McAuliffe supporters is this: One campaign is trying to figure out how to be liked (Cuccinelli's), and the other campaign isn't trying or doesn't know how (McAuliffe's). Harry Wilson, a political scientist at Roanoke College, put it very well to the Times: "This may be the first time we don't like our governor the day after the election." But the question is: Which candidate is at least trying to be liked? But this story raises a larger question. What's going on with the McAuliffe campaign? Is its strategy really just to sit back and then carpet-bomb Cuccinelli as out of touch and hope he can scrape by? Is that any way to win? Yes, it is. But is that any way to govern if you do actually win? No. Many Virginia Democrats are grumbling about the way McAuliffe is running this race (or the fact that Terry is their standard-bearer). What's amazing is how much fear there is in the Virginia Democratic Party about challenging McAuliffe publicly on this. Of course, this isn't fear of Terry as much as it is fear of the Clintons.
*** UPDATE *** The McAuliffe campaign counters by saying it has focused mostly on a positive campaign thus far. "Terry has spent the last three months making front page news across Virginia by focusing on a positive message about making the Commonwealth better for business," spokesman Josh Schwerin says in an email to First Read. "Ken Cuccinelli has hidden from the public and been forced on defense over extreme statements on women's health, opposition to Social Security and an ongoing ethics scandals that have dominated the campaign since January."
*** On "Meet this Press" this weekend: NBC's David Gregory interviews John McCain and Tony Blair. And the program has already released this excerpt from Blair on Bush: "Well I thought, it was great advertisement for America today by the way, you had five presidents including President Obama and all behaving with a sort of graciousness and a civility toward each other that I thought was fantastic and President Obama actually put his finger on it when he said, 'it's impossible to know George Bush and not like him,' so you know, often people say to me back home, they say, 'come on, you didn't like him really, did you?' And I say you can totally disagree with him but as a human being he is someone of immense character and genuine integrity, so, you can say- people have different views about decisions, but there's very few people who know him and don't like him and respect him as a person."

Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff as Co-Anchors and Managing Editors
At the Television Critics Association Press Tour, it was announced that Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff will be co-anchors and managing editors for the PBS NEWSHOUR. Ifill and Woodruff will anchor the broadcast together Monday through Thursday each week. On Fridays, Woodruff will anchor solo as Ifill hosts WASHINGTON WEEK that evening. This will mark the first time a nightly U.S. network newscast has had a female co-anchor team.
It was also announced that Hari Sreenivasan will serve as Senior Correspondent for the PBS NEWSHOUR with Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff, reporting several times a week from WNET's Tisch Studios in New York, along with his duties anchoring PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND Saturdays and Sundays beginning September 7, 2013.
In addition, three PBS NEWSHOUR correspondents have been given specific areas of content responsibility and will be contributing on a daily basis to both the broadcast and online operation. Jeffrey Brown was named Chief Correspondent for Arts, Culture, and Society. Ray Suarez was named Chief National Correspondent. And Margaret Warner was named Chief Foreign Correspondent.
"This marks an exciting new chapter in the history of PBS NEWSHOUR," said Linda Winslow, executive producer for PBS NEWSHOUR. "Gwen and Judy have been the heart and soul of NEWSHOUR for years, so it's wonderful to formalize these new roles and give them an opportunity to provide even more input on the content and direction of the show. It's also great to have talented correspondents like Jeff, Ray, Hari and Margaret available to help us get out in the field to explore topics that point up their in-depth knowledge of the subjects they'll be covering."
"I am so pleased to be taking on this new role alongside my colleague and dear friend Judy Woodruff," Ifill said. "We've successfully worked side-by-side for many years covering conventions, elections and countless other news events. We make a great team."
"Gwen and I love working together and appreciate the trust viewers put in the PBS NEWSHOUR, both on TV and online," said Woodruff. "Working with Linda and this entire terrific team, we'll do our best to make sure the next chapter for the NEWSHOUR upholds its reputation for excellence, independence and integrity."
"We are so pleased about these new roles for Gwen, Judy and the NEWSHOUR team," said Beth Hoppe, PBS Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming. "Together with the weekend edition from New York, PBS NEWSHOUR is solidly positioned to continue its long track record of providing context, in-depth reporting and analysis as one of the most important programs in public broadcasting."
This announcement follows the recent announcement of PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND, which will feature a summary of the day's national and international news, using renowned experts to offer analysis. Each weekend broadcast will contain original, in-depth field reporting on topics including education, healthcare, the economy, energy, science and technology, religion, finance and the arts. PBS NEWSHOUR correspondent Hari Sreenivasan will anchor PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND every Saturday and Sunday from the Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center.
These changes will go into effect in September 2013.

Clay County voters lift alcohol restrictions
Legislation eliminates prohibition on alcohol sales before 2 p.m. on Sundays
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dozens of restaurant owners in Clay County had reason to celebrate on election night when they learned voters passed an ordinance to throw out a law prohibiting the sale of alcohol before 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Elaine Cassala, owner Whitey's Fish Camp in Fleming Island, told Channel 4 she and several other restaurant owners have traveled a long road to victory.
"We've been involved in this for two years and we're happy to see it over," said Cassala.
Now that the ordinance has passed, restaurants like Whitey's and the nearby Mellow Mushroom Island can serve alcohol anytime on Sunday.
The ordinance is a welcome relief to businesses eager to serve sports fans heading to bars and restaurants to watch games or anyone else thirsty for an alcoholic beverage on Sunday.
Cassala said the law was forcing some people looking for a drink to travel to establishments outside Clay.
"...Hopefully now we can keep these residents in Clay County and that tax money can go to Clay County," said Cassala.
Resident Sarah Slazar said she was happy the legislation passed.
"It only happened one time where I went to a restaurant on a Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and ordered a beer and couldn't get it. [I] looked around, [and] saw all the sodas on the bar," said Salazar.
Salazar said the limitation influenced her to pursue other options for Sunday brunch.
"In this day and age when you can go two miles away from where I was at to Jacksonville, I could've easily went and spent my money there," she said.

Awesome Service
I have used other heating and air companies in the past but Tri-County Heating and Air is by far the best company. Technician was on time and very knowledgeable. The technician enlightened me on things I did not know about my AC unit. In the end... the unit did need to be replaced. I called around and got several quotes but Tri-County Heating and Air was the cheapest. If you need heating and air work this is the company to hire.
Great Company
Tri-County Heating and Air was at my house within hours of my call.... I have small children and we were very hot. I called several companies and no one seemed to have same day service even though they advertise that they do. Wayne came out and explained to me the problem and had us up and running within a couple of hours. The service call fee was reasonable as well. Other companies wanted to charge over $100 and Tri-County did not charge that much. I will be using Tri-County Heating and Air for all of my heating and cooling needs.
Honest and reliable
Technicians were very friendly and helpful. Explained in great detail how things work and what needed to be done to fix the problem. I had called another company the day before and all they wanted was for me to purchase a new system. My system is now working properly and our family is nice and cool now. Thank you Tri-County Heating and Air for all you did for my family.
Making Service
Wayne and his crew was amazing and saved my family from the heat and didn't break the bank. They was on time and didn't ask for any money up front also didn't pay till he knew I was happy with the service I was provide with. I highly recommend Tri-County
A+++ service
Wayne came out on time and repaired my ac unit. My unit is old and he spent the time to discuss replacement cost of my unit. He has earned my business. Thanks
Professional, Competent and Straight Forward
Called Tri-County Heating and Air approximately 8 AM with an A/C problem, and they were at our home by 11 AM. Wayne and Wesson were friendly and helpful and diagnosed the problem immediately. Wayne showed in-depth discipline expertise and explained the problem and our options clearly and concisely. He was very patient, answered all questions in a very courteous and professional manner. We elected to replace the A/C which they said they could do the next day. They were on time, thorough, showed concern for our property, and cleaned up when they were finished. Their price was competitive and we were provided an age-related discount. Definitely recommend.
Great service
Had problems with our motor on the fan. Service technician found the problem within minutes. Found a new part and had it installed the same day. Highly recommended
Speedy high quality service on a HOT day!
Our air conditioning unit went out on a Saturday. I left a message on the website and within 30 minutes I had a call back with an appointment for the same day. ON A SATURDAY! The technician was very courteous and explained everything and of course fixed the problem and now we are AC enabled! Thank you very much; we know who to call if we have another problem or if we decide to replace our unit. I will recommend this company to all of my friends.
High Quality Service
Wayne and his guys just completed new HVAC System install for me and did great job. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.Pricing was competitive and no surprises at the end.
Quick Response
Called them around 8:30 in am and William was here by 11:00. Friendly, helpful and quick to resolve our problem. Price was great too. We will be calling on Tri-County Heating & Air from now on.
Best by far!!
After calling around for local services and being unable to either get a quick call back or someone to visit with 24-48 hrs, I was referred to Tri-County. What a pleasure! Not only did they answer the phone but was able to get a tech out same day! My mom is 85 and on Hospice care so I was very concerned about her comfort but no worry with Tri-County. Will def recommend to anyone in their service area! Thank you again!! Debbie H.
Good guys and excellent service
Wayne and his guys have installed new hvac and a hot water heater for us. They are always professional, show up when expected and do the job as stated. I'm hopeful that we wont need to call them for anything else in the near future but if we have an issue these are the guys we will call.
You CAN get quick HVAC service in summer!
Where do you get great HVAC service in summer? I did because I called Wayne at 8pm after trimming my HVAC wire with hedge trimmers and he was over in 30 minutes. He fixed it right away at a reasonable cost. I definitely recommend Tri County Heating&Air! 2 thumbs up.
Excellent Service and knowledge
Wayne arrived on time and was completely professional, knowledgeable and honest! They were able to come out right away and solve my issues and in an extrmely friendly manner. I would highly recommend them to ANYONE and will never go anywhere else for my HVAC needs. Wayne was recommended to me by a friend and now I know why he uses him all the time.
Reliable and Efficient !!
I called Tri County at 1:00 with an air condition problem, said they would be here between 3 and 3:30. arrived on time and found the problem. It was getting late, assumed they would fix my air the next day, but they went and got the part and had my air running in a couple hours. Everything was explained to me and I felt I had found a honest and reliable company !!!! My husband was very pleased.
Mr. Buras was very professional and explained everything very thoroughly. I was impressed with his knowledge of my HVAC system. We now use Tri County for our church A/C maintenance. My daughter recently used his company to replace her complete home A/C system. I highly recommend Tri County Heating and Air.
Great Service
Very good service,no complaint
new heating and air heat pump
Tri County was the best experience ive had with heating and air companies. Very honest, reliable and very well priced. Explained everything in detail told me i didnt need to rearrange my duct work because the unit was larger like another company had. He only had to move the unit out 4 inches, the other company told me they would have to check and see how much extra. Great company I highly recommend and will continue to use only them in the future
Great Service, honest. We WILL be using Tri-County again!
Wayne came out to help us with our ac issue after we had quotes from two other big name brands just trying to sell us a new unit. He was honest, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to temporarily fix the unit at a cheaper cost to get us by, allowing us some time to budget for a new unit. He thoroughly explained the issues, and advised us on what we need in a new unit and how to maintain them (new home ownership doesn't come with a Manual!) We will certainly go with Wayne at Tri County when we buy a new ac unit and highly recommend him (and thank you again Wayne!)
Wayne and his crew have always been honest and trustworthy in working on our systems! They replaced 2 systems at a fraction of the cost that others tried to sell us, and maitnence them every year to ensure it blows cold!!! I can call them in an emergency and they are there! Great job Wayne!!!!
Good customer service
The technician came to the house on time, knocked on the door, and introduced himself. Rusty replaced my system and installed a new one but the best part was his attention to detail. He stayed at my house for about 20 extra minutes after he was finished just to make sure all of the trash/dirt was cleaned up. He even wore covers on his shoes to make sure he didn't bring any dirt on my carpets!! Can't beat that
The man came and fixed a prob I had w/ ductwork.... I thought I was gunna drop abt $300+ fixin it but the tech came out and had my air running the way it should for $79
Had a problem with my coil
The ac wasnt working the way it should. Had multiple hvac companies come out to figure out the problem. Most told me there were multiple problems and some even wanted me to replace my whole system! tri-county came and told me the sole problem was the coil and gave me a good price to fix it. They replaced the coil on the same day they came out and I haven't had a problem since.
my husband is out of town
and i dont know anything about the air conditioner. all i knew was that it was hot. husband used tri county before and told me to call again. wayne came out at the most convenient time for me, fixed the air, and im enjoying a cool temperature in my home again. seems to care about what hes doing
Easy, cost effective, and simple
Like car mechanics, you never know what you're going to get when it comes to hvac companies. My wife and I called Tri-county hvac during afterhours and Wayne arrived at my house about 30 minutes after. He explained to me that my capacitor was causing the machine to not work properly, but he did not try to "upsell" me by fixing other things that I did not want to fix. He informed me of the potential problems that could come from my system but he did not put any pressure on me to buy it. Will certainly go with them again.
Thanks Wayne!
Wayne came to my house, gave my wife and I an honest assessment of what we needed to do. Installed equipment in one day. Fair and affordable. 5 stars from us!

DWTS Judge Carrie Anne Inaba Signs Autographs And Also To Be Awarded For Cat Rescueing
Pictured above is Dancing With The Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba. This past week she was seen signing autographs outside ABC studios in New York City. You can see more fun photos of her at Zimbio Pictures. Nice sunglasses. 🙂
Also, Carrie Anne is going to be honored with an award for her cat rescueing by the Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats at their 2nd Annual CATS for Cats all-star benefit concert taking place July 14th at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Below is a quote from Carrie Anne on the honor at Business Wire…
"Helping homeless animals is something I just can't NOT do," says Inaba, discussing the event's importance. "I am honored to be a part of this cause and that I am able to help shed light on the need of open hearts, and open homes, for these helpless loving animals. I'm proud to be working in the trenches with organizations like Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats making a difference for the future."
So cool. This award is so deserving! If you'd like to know more details on her award, be sure you see the Business Wire link.

This jewel is located in Las Cruces, over toward the Organ Mountains, so they have several acres to display animals, buildings, equipment and more. They have a beautiful building and the displays inside are well done. We would encourage anyone in the area to visit.
Above, in the exhibit about the Dust Bowl era. I was intrigued by the newspaper wallpaper. Not sure if it is the real deal or a reproduction.
Above: There were several lovely old quilts hanging, including this one, "Maiden With a Parasol", quilted by Joy Pullock, about the late 1930's. The signage says it was hand stitched with the "Imagery done in the colcha stitch". (I have purposely only included part of the quilt, to share with you the fine works here at the Museum. Please do NOT borrow this photo or image from Reflections.)
Part of the display about the people(s) of New Mexico. Wonderful, yes! YES!
There were displays of old post offices, including the wall of mail boxes. There were some delightful rooms set up, such as a typical front room, and kitchen.
Above: Look at the condition of this sink. I wouldn't mind having this in my home, even in Tana, well, maybe not Tana, it weighs toooooo much! But, that is A REAL sink, eh??
There were some informative displays explaining the crops grown in New Mexico, including pecans (did you know they shake the pecans out of the trees?). There was a bale of cotton displayed, 480 pounds, enough cotton to make 2000 pair of socks! Of course there was a display about chilis (and a good part of one hall way was also currently dedicated to chilis as well) and cows (milk).
In other hallways they have local art displayed. It was wonderful!
Above: PART of the work, "Her Rural Itinerary - NM 1890's", by Jan Addy. Only showing part, copyright and all that. Please do NOT copy this image from Reflections.
There are several "play" areas for the little ones (children and grandchildren), delightfully set up with farm tractors, or saddles or farm kitchens.
Outside, you will find the farm animals, the farm equipment, some buildings, and even, the "Green Bridge"
The Green Bridge is the oldest steel highway bridge in New Mexico. This is actually one part of three that made up that bridge that spanned the Pecos River near Roswell New Mexico. It was built in 1902, remained in service until 1937. The center span was later moved to Rio Hondo, where it was painted "graphite" green, it became known as the "Green Bridge", and remained in use until 1989. It came to the museum in 2007.
The New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, Las Cruces, New Mexico, put it on your bucket list! You won't be sorry.

Actress-TV Host, and Model - Olga Safari is definitely catching a fast moving wave. Just 19, this stunning beauty with the looks of a young Angelina Jolie mixed with the sophistication of Sophia Loren, has landed a gig as the new TV Co-host on an OC (Orange County) produced TV series " BYOB - Bring Your Own Board " sort of a cross between the hit TV series Laguna Beach and Fuel TV. Olga is in the process of building up millions of fans around the world as the fun show is currently being launched to audiences online, on mobile phones, and by the summer, or earlier, on TV around the world.
Safari got to hang out with Roxy girl Nikki Viesins on BYOB's feature on Nikki's life as a team rider for one of the biggest girl brands in the world. "Nikki is such an awesome girl to hang out with. She has been blessed with amazing talent and is going to push Roxy into the next upcoming generation of talent on the pro tour!" - Olga Safari, TV Host BYOB
"She has the right clean wholesome look, is funny, and she is definitely going places with or without our TV show, so we signed her up"- Kenji Claudio, BYOB Co-Producer
Olga with her multi ethnic blended looks, has the sort of appeal you would find in icons like Sophia Loren, Angelina Jolie, and Natalie Portman. Olga may be landing her first feature film role soon and is blowing up on social media and in the press, not bad for a 19 year old!
"I feel very fortunate to be working with such an amazing team and doing what I love!" said Ms. Safari.
Olga and the BYOB team will also make a splash at LA's Fashion Week at an event inspired by the surf and beach culture called "California Dreaming". The event is sponsored by BYOB, Produced by Interpix Fashion Live and will feature a sand carpet ( instead of red carpet) where Olga will be interviewing celebrities, designers and mingling with the press in a surfboard designed backdrop on the runways . Tickets for the show can be bought online at http://www.interpixfashionlive.com.

Fairfax County Police say a criminal investigation is being conducted into the death of a missing 16-year-old girl whose body was found in an affluent Vienna, Va., neighborhood.
Her family had called police Aug. 21 to report her missing, saying she had run away.
The girl's body was discovered Friday between fences separating two million-dollar-plus houses in the affluent Vienna area, police confirmed.
McLean High School identified the girl as Emylee Lonczak, from McLean, Va.
"It is with great sadness that I must inform you that one of our students died unexpectedly Friday," Principal Ellen Reilly wrote in a letter home to families of students at McLean High. "Emylee Lonczak was a rising 11th grader at our school. She was a cherished student who will be greatly missed by all who knew her."
Police went to the quiet neighborhood near Tysons Corner when they got a tip that Lonczak might be found there. When officers began to look in the area near a pipe stem on Madrillon Estates Drive, they found the girl's body on the ground, hidden by bushes between two fences.
Neighbors are anxiously waiting to learn more about how her body ended up there. Police say that while an active criminal investigation is underway, the circumstances surrounding Lonczak's death pose no threat to the neighborhood or community.
"I can certainly understand why people should be concerned," said Bud Walker, of Fairfax County Police. "This is not obviously something that happens in everyone's neighborhood. What I can say is that everything that is involved in this case has been identified by the police. There are no outstanding people; there are no outstanding items; there is no outstanding information. People in that neighborhood can rest assured that nothing from this case is a threat to them or their children."
Neighbors watched as police spent almost 12 hours at the scene.
"I wouldn't wish it on anybody," said neighbor Dorothy Brown, a mother of teenagers. "I'm very sad for them. I'm very sad for whatever happened to her".
Police will not disclose any details, and Walker said that he couldn't "speculate about what the end of this investigation will be."
"I can confirm that it is criminal in nature, that detectives are looking into any potential criminal acts that may be involved," he added.
Police also will not say whether the teenager died in the location where her body was found or whether her body was placed there by someone else.
The medical examiner has not determined Lonczak's cause of death.

The Price of Peace
When a family on the ground floor in the Torah-observant town of Kiryat Sefer decided to close in its porch, it ran into opposition from the neighbor on the second floor. He expressed fear that the fence would enable a thief to climb up to his porch and break into his home.
This standoff led to a breakdown in the otherwise friendly neighborly relations. To the rescue came the neighbor on the third floor who offered to share with his protesting neighbor the cost of closing in his own porch to protect his home against burglars. Thus came to a happy end the battle of the porches.
But this is not the end!
A short while after the porches on the first and second floors were completed, a fire broke out on the third floor in the apartment of the fellow who brought peace to his building. The firemen who arrived on the scene were unsuccessful in breaking down the security door to the apartment but found an alternate route by climbing up the bars surrounding the porches of the two apartments below. The peace initiative of the resident of that third floor apartment thus saved his home from destruction.

|My built-ins are a disorganized nightmare
While it may be "Organize Your Home Office Day", I won't lie and say that my home office will be organized by the end of today. My nephew and mother-in-law are leaving for the airport in the morning, I've got a webinar in the afternoon, then it'll be time immediately following that to pick up the kids, make dinner and take my oldest to CCD in the evening. There will be about 3 hours in there that I can dedicate to making a dent in what is my home office.
|The printing station is a cluttered
|The bookshelf o'stuff
My husband and I share the office and it's horribly laid out. When we first moved into the home we were excited that it had a separate room that we would be able to use exclusively as an office. It even had built in bookshelves (although we came to see that we had more books than shelves!). As with most things, you notice flaws once you move in that you may have been oblivious to beforehand. Things like the phone jack is in the back of the bottom shelf of the bookcase (no, you didn't read that wrong...who the hell puts a phone jack in the bookcase!) and the cable port is on the opposite side of the room. Pretty much makes for a cable nightmare. My hubby has been working overtime trying to get us as wireless as possible. He's the tech person of the two of us and he's doing an awesome job considering he's got the anti-tech wife. I simply walk by technology and it spontaneously combusts.
|The not-too-bad-desk
Unfortunately, even though Cherie got her groove back about a month ago, I wasn't groovin' in the home office. I've actually been working from the dining room table. Great space, but it put a damper in using it for diner!
Since my PTA meltdown back in November, the office became a repository of stuff and I just wasn't motivated to clear it out. That ends today. I'm going to don my snorkel and swim fins and dive on in. It's time to organize so my hubby and I have a work-friendly environment for Cub Scouts, PTA, and (most importantly) my business!
My is that the next pictures I'll post of my office will be much better looking!
