If all goes as planned, Pompano Beach officials say, the city will acquire 20 pieces of property this year -- windfalls from the two-year-old code enforcement program.
State law allows cities to foreclose on neglected property after six months, having first warned and fined the owners, said Brian Applegate, attorney for the city's Code Enforcement Board.
Code Enforcement Director Ed Snyder said Pompano Beach property owners are first notified by registered mail that the condition of their land is in violation of the code. He said the property is usually piled with garbage, and full of overgrown trees and shrubs.
Under state law, the owner has 60 to 90 days to clean up the property. After that, the city can fine the owner up to $250 per day and put a lien on the property.
"Usually we get compliance way before that," Snyder said.
But when it doesn't get compliance, the city continues the fines and then begins foreclosure.
Applegate said cities can foreclose on neglected properties between six months and two years after the lien is imposed.
He said owners usually live out-of-state or outside city limits.
Applegate said Pompano Beach spends about $75 each for title searches to see if there were any other liens on the properties, and will soon spend more to advertise foreclosure proceedings in local newpapers.
Applegate said he is not sure exactly when the city will acquire its properties. "But it will definitely be before December of 1986."
"And once we do this batch it will be routine," he said.
Once the property belongs to the city, Applegate said it will be up to the commission to determine how it is used.

After reading this you will learn about 1-gcc compiler 2-how to compile code 3-how to execute c/c++ output file via terminal window(console)
so you will need to install gcc to go for code compilation. in terminal type install command sudo apt-get install gcc now let it finish . assuming gcc installed correctly ,follow steps below -
This blog is about How to set up c/c++ compiler to work in a easy way with a bash script.How you set up to compile C++ programs depends on whether you are using Windows or Linux/Unix. This page describes the approach to use if you have a Linux/Unix machine. On both system , to compile a c/c++ code you need compiler , In GNU systems c/c++ compiler is called gcc . For more details how gcc works see manuals lot of documentations are available on web , or just type in terminal man gcc .(if you have gcc installed)
so you will need to install gcc to go for code compilation. in terminal type install command sudo apt-get install gcc now let it finish . assuming gcc installed correctly ,follow steps below -
- Create a folder (any name will go) in my case C++ is the name of folder.
- In folder C++ create a file named gcc edit it with normal text editor like gedit or leafpad or Kate.( Note-use normal text editor to do any kind of coding.do not use word-processors.) copy this code to the file gcc- #/bin/shecho compiling C++ using -ansi -pedantic-errors -Wallg++ -ansi -pedantic-errors -Wall $1 $2 $3
- Now save that file and make it executable from file properties -go to permission section if using nautilus or dolphin filemanager , or whatever the way you do that.
- Now in C++ directory {where file gcc(bash script file) is saved} put the c/c++ code file.
- now to compile c/c++ code execute the gcc file it will ask you to run in terminal if using gnome desktop environment . ( if using KDE to do hole process in a simple way open C++ directory in dolphin file manager and press F4 key on keyboard ,a mini terminal will open inside dolphin with same directory you are working , here C++ you need to type ./gcc name of c/c++ code file and Hit enter key now compilation done with a output file ,to execute(check) output file type ./name of out file with extension)KDE users you finished.stop here rest is for GNOME guys.
- now put the c/c++ code file to the C++ directory.
- open terminal and point to the directory C++ .(you can use nautilus to do that if don't know how to jump form one directory to other, just go to C++ directory and select option open terminal here )
- and in terminal type ./gcc name of c/c++ code file & Hit enter key .
- compilation done a output file will appear on C++ directory
- To execute that file type ./name of out file with extension.

Multi purpose dining area
Multi purpose dining area (post #175883)
I am looking for a way to arrange a multipurpose room that it a sitting area , with no sofa, and can become a dining area. I am open to using any kind of table ( transformation) , pedestal, folding, extender etc, anything that will make it possible to use the room occasionally as a large dining area but most of the time as a sitting area with a small table as part of the mix. Ideas VERY MUCH appreciated!
(post #175883, reply #1 of 3)
We have a room that we will use in a similar manner in our new house. I am going to use a round or square table that extends and then this room will have bookcases and a shallow window seat. I envision that day to day it will be a quiet place to study or to play games with the option (a couple of times a year...ha-ha) to extend the table and use it for dining. Since we use a wireless network and laptops, I think this should work well. Originally, I was planning a narrow farmhouse table in this room but with some floorplan changes I lost square footage and the nice rectangular shape I had.
(post #175883, reply #2 of 3)
Thank you,
I have pulled back from the plan to try to make a multipurpose area because I can't find the perfect table to work in my room.
What , exactly, did you mean by the last sentence? I'm interested.
Nice to have a planning buddy!
(post #175883, reply #3 of 3)
In reply to...Originally, I was planning a narrow farmhouse table in this room but with some floorplan changes I lost square footage and the nice rectangular shape I had. Our room was about 17x13 at one point...now is down to about 13x13. The farmhouse tables tend to be narrow (about 24" or 30" x 7'+/-). It just wouldn't look proportionate to the square dimensions. I tend to like a Pottery Barn-type style, so think that we will go with a round or square version with leaves. For us, having shelves and storage in this room will make it work well for a multi-purpose room. We will have our cabinet maker do shallow shelves since the room is relatively small.
Best of luck setting up your room! Try it out and if you find you aren't using the way you thought, you can change things around. If we don't end up using ours to actually eat in a couple of times a year, I may change it to a library :-))

Aromaland has developed these natural Peel Off Masks in direct collaboration with a company harvesting marine extracts from untouched areas of the European Atlantic. It is said that the gel-like algae extracts (alginates) that make up the base of the masks are "penetration enhancers" (Schulick) that allow minerals to readily permeate the skin's outer layer. In addition, these gelatinous extracts soften, hydrate and soothe the skin, giving it a wonderful silky-soft feel.

Cakes on birthday symbolize a perfect celebration and remain the most essential ingredient during the entire occasion. The birthday party is not complete in the absence of a yummy cake, does not matter if you are a kid or grown up man, cakes are for one and all to enjoy the celebratory mood. It's said that to bring uniqueness into the party, bring an equally exceptional cake to cut on the table.
source: http://getmainelobster.com/ via Mak Jones on Pinterest
Different types of birthday cakes are there, flavor depends largely upon the ingredients used while preparing the cake. The taste varies according to the generations of people who are there in the party. For kids, chocolate cakes are preferable whereas grownups might not fancy it. Beside everything, decoration is also vital ingredient to add spice into the cake cutting mood.
Over the past years, the conventional flavors have bid adieu paving way for new delicacies to get tasted. One of such kind of cakes that is found quite frequently on the birthday parties is crab cakes. It needs certain ingredients and abiding by the preparation method you can have a true delight on the cake table.
- Mayonnaise 1/2 cup
- Seafood seasoning like Old Bay 2 teaspoons
- Worcestershire sauce 1 dash
- Green onions (scallions), white and green parts, finely chopped 2
- Jumbo lump crabmeat 2 pounds
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons
- Cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon
- Red bell pepper, finely chopped 1
- Large egg yolks 2
- Fresh breadcrumbs 6 cups
Preparation method
- Mix mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolks, seafood seasoning, cayenne, bell peppers, green onions together
- Blend it with crab meat
- Keep the breadcrumbs on a sheet
- Shape the crab cake using one hand and gently stroke cake and breadcrumbs together by other hand.
- Shape 10 cakes with 3 inches in width and 1/2-inch thick. Use 3/4 cup bread crumbs for each cake
- Put 4 cups of oil to heat over medium-high flame
- Put a single piece into the frying oil and turn and flip it over each side for 3 to 4 times, 5 minutes would be sufficient for a crispy crab cake
- Repeat the procedure with remaining pieces
- Serve while hot
These are perfect to replace your normal birthday cake with crab cake as the conventional ones are mundane and outdated, try something of a new flavor on the upcoming birthday of yours.

People who know me (and those who have vague assumptions of me)
How good or bad would i be at a sales job?
Can you see me as a "close the deal" type?
Im currently considering a job having made it through the first round of interviews-the job is perhaps my best way into marketing at the moment but im not a big fan of sales. Having applied for a shed load of jobs and with little success (including being turned down by temp agencies for having a masters as i will be bored temping ya da ya da)
So do i go for it and all its OTE pay glory or not?
close the deal type?
that brings up wrong images
Is it lower than before
the store was rebranded?
what would you be selling?
because i don't think i'd buy rubbish stuff off of you, but i might buy something quite nice, y'see?
jesus christ.
i bump your thread for you and you repay me with NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION????????
English Sliced Bread
im gonna be in Belgium in less than 48 hours...now is not the time for a fallout-or i will bring some of the aforementioned bread and stick it.
Now bugger off...im watching Trinny and Susannah and learning what my real womanly body shape is!
aw man!
I'm gonna guess you have a "boyish" figure. I've never really understood trinny and susannah body shapes. I think i'm kind of normal-shaped... :S At least, I don't think I look like an apple or a pear or an hourglass or a man or a shorty or a fatty or a ball or a stick or a lollipop etc.
anyway, I already have insurance and sky tv and I don't like English bread, so to answer your original question: no.
also, C U SOON :|
you forgot the brick
the cornet the cello the double decker bus the blackhole etc etc
blackhole = fat black women?
no, really. what does a blackhole-shaped person look like?
you're friendly enough
however seeing as you're currently working for me i'm going to say "don't take the job" so i can keep you.
this, mainly
Sales and marketing? :(
I envisioned you doing something that was worth a damn...
me too :(
but nobody wants to employ me
since may
100+ applications
4 interviews
temp agencies say no for having MA
and companies say no for not having experience
That's really not that many applications given the time frame at all. 20 a month or so?
That's 5 a week... what field are you looking at?
Although I understand that you basically need money and therefore a job, it seems a bit early on to resign yourself to a career you seemingly have no interest in.
That said, many people take bizarrely circuitous routes into their jobs...
Thanks Dad!
i am applying for PR/Marketing /communications/journalism/publishing/editorial/copywriting/events
anything that allows me to be creative and enjoy what i do.
I say hold out for something.
There's just so much out there, if you are persistent and work on the methods you're using to look and that sort of thing, you'll get the right thing for you eventually. Even if it's not a perfect fit, something that offers you a route into what you'd ultimately like to do...
If this is it then go for it, but if it's not, then keep looking. There's nothing more demoralising than being in a job you don't want.
Job elitism?
Oh fuck me that's just sad.
There was no elitism in what I said at all.
Doesn't surprise me that you projected some on there though.
Oh whatever, John...
Yeah, everyone who works in marketing has a meaningless life...
You are being elitist about this.
And PR is very much a part of the marketing wheel.
However, I am having a boring sense of de ja vu....
Sales very different to marketing in actual practice...
I wouldn't go near a sales job if my life depended on it. It's hardcore and not for everyone - a certain type of person.
Give it a go - you are young enough to turn around and fuck it off if it doesn't work for you... and it probably beats sitting around on the dole, wasting taxpayers cash.
good zing
(all tickets sold)
now bugger off im watching Dragons Den
so on the whole we are agreed im not a
"show me the money" type?
Show me the P45.
I resigned today!
Breakfast tomorrow morning, pretty leisurely?
I think you could do it
You're fairly flexible, and affable. You appear pretty trustworthy to most strangers, I'd guess.
But in terms of whether it'll get you where you want, I'm not so sure.
My advice would to be pragmatic and take the job, see where it would take you. And if that's nowhere, at least you have some money coming in, and can be more selective in looking for new jobs. Sales can be creative as well.
Just make sure you don't get 'creative' with prices.

Bacopa monnieri is traditional Ayurvedic medicinal herb grown in India. It has been widely touted as a brain booster with other positive effects such as reduction of anxiety. Often called water hyssop, it is a popular plant used in aquariums.
The herb contains many active components including alkaloids and saponins (that form a soapy froth when shaken in a water solution). Most people recognize the saponins Bacosides A and B as the most significant components.
Bacopa monnieri is marketed by many supplement manufacturers which use a variety of phrases to describe its effects. Some of these marketing slogans include:
- Optimize your brain power
- Supports memory enhancement & learning
- Supports memory, enhances mental performance
- Brain & memory support
- Mental focus
- Support cognitive function and brain health
- Mental alertness
- Excellent rejuvenative for the mind
- Benefits congnitive functions
These claims make it seem like you should start taking bacopa monnieri before your next algebra test or your final exams to make sure you get a high grade. After all, you want every advantage possible to succeed in life.
But, what do the scientific studies show about the benefits of bacopa monnieri? Are these marketing slogans simply hype that over-promise what you can really expect? Continue reading

Get on your bike! If you win this amazing prize you really will be - with £600 of cycling vouchers up for grabs.
House builder Miller Homes and Don Valley Cycles in Doncaster have teamed up to give the prize, as part of a Get Yorkshire Cycling campaign to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire.
The competition is now open to all visitors to Miller Homes' developments across the region. Simply fill in a form with your details before the deadline on May 4. The winner will be randomly chosen and notified by Friday, May 8.
Miller Homes has 10 developments across the region and Don Valley Cycles supplies high quality road and mountain bikes. They are to provide top tips on cycling in Yorkshire including the best routes for families and some challenging trails for the more adventurous, via its social media pages and blog.
"Tour de Yorkshire is going to be a fantastic event for the whole county and we wanted to show our support by encouraging as many people as possible to take to two wheels and discover just what Yorkshire has to offer its cyclists," said Steve McElroy sales director Miller Homes Yorkshire.
"Several of the Yorkshire Miller Homes team cycle to work or socially at weekends and it's a great way to keep fit whilst commuting or enjoying relaxation time with friend and family."
Tour de Yorkshire commences in Bridlington, May 1, and passes through some stunning coastal scenery with Stage 1 finishing in Scarborough. Stage 2 encompasses a sprint route between Selby and York, with Stage 3 taking to the hills between Wakefield and Leeds.
"We're delighted to support Miller Homes in their quest to 'Get Yorkshire Cycling' and discover the enjoyment and health benefits it can bring to people of all ages and abilities," said Martin Maltby Proprietor Don Valley Cycles and Sponsor of Doncaster Wheelers Cycling Club.
"It's a great way to get fit, stay fit, explore the fantastic scenery in Yorkshire and meet lots of new people."
Doncaster Wheelers were the lucky winners of last year's Miller Homes' Summer of Sport campaign, which sees local sports clubs pitch for a £500 prize to develop their club, train staff or buy new equipment.

Moral failure. The blog makes clear enough what that moral failure was. In the UK, it's an epidemic. I've grown oh-so-tired - and, I confess, increasingly angry - over one story after another. And what bothers me most is the inadequate sense of shame.
No, emphatically not; I'm not suggesting that pastors guilty of moral failure should commit suicide. They need to trust in the mercy of Christ. They need to work hard to rebuild their marriage (but not their ministries). They need to do all they can to minimise the disgrace to Christ.
But shame would be a part of that. An awful lot less of 'well, my marriage had been a sham for years.' So what? If it's true, it increases your disgrace: you should have dealt with it earlier. With Christ and goodwill, miracles are possible. And true or not, there is no situation to which adultery is the right, proper, godly, moral response. No situation. Not a difficult wife, or a cold bed, or rebellious children, or stressful ministries, or a combination of them all.
There should be less, too, of 'Well, these things happen.' No, they don't. Measles happen. Road Traffic Accidents happen. Storms and hurricanes happen. Adultery is committed. You can't catch it by being in the same room as somebody who is affected. It doesn't come zooming round a stationary car when your visibility is impaired. It doesn't blow in out of a clear blue sky. Adultery is planned; it is committed; it is followed up.
I don't know what the cause of this epidemic is. I don't know what the solution is, or even if there is a solution. But I do know that Christians, and pastors most of all, need to learn to take responsibility for the way they live, and stop seeing themselves and their behaviour as victims.

A helpful post Gary and a tragic story. I just can't help feeling that there's a missing note here, though. You say that you don't know what causes this kind of epidemic...but surely the answer is fairly clear and is given by Conrad Mbewe in his original post:
I have only one appeal: Pray for your pastors. The devil is real and there is only one that is stronger than him—not your pastor but God. Satan knows that if he can strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. Hence, he targets pastors with his most potent missiles. Many Christians are oblivious to this fact. They tend to simply admire their pastors as if they were super humans. They project their childhood invincible comic heroes (Spider Man, Mr America, etc.) upon their pastors and simply watch them as they fight sin with heroic energy in the community and in the church. They forget that pastors are also fallen creatures.
I think the strength of what you say here is to communicate the shamefulness of a pastor so acting, and to provide an electric shock to our sense of complacency that 'these things happen'.
But they do happen, and without due care, prayer, daily mortification, self-awareness, and humble reliance on God's grace they could happen to me and to any Pastor. To me that's the scariest part of the story, and the most salutary.

Knowledge Discovery from Data Bases Proposal for a MAP-I UC

1 Knowledge Discovery from Data Bases Proposal for a MAP-I UC P. Brazdil 1, João Gama 1, P. Azevedo 2 1 Universidade do Porto; 2 Universidade do Minho; 1 Knowledge Discovery from Data Bases We are deluged by data: scientific data, medical data, demographic data, financial data, and marketing data. People have no time to look at this data. Human attention has become the precious resource. So, we must find ways to automatically analyze the data, characterize trends in it, and automatically flag anomalies. (Han e Kamber, 2006). The development of information and communication technologies make possible collect data with high degree of detail, that might be automatically transmitted at high-speed. Some examples of real-world applications include: TCP/IP traffic, queries in search engines over Internet, records of telecommunication calls, SMS, s, stock market, sensors in electrical grid, etc. For illustrative purposes, we present some numbers: The number of daily phone calls is around 3 billions, the number of SMS is 1 billion daily, the number of sent s is around 30 billions. Most of this information will never be seen by a human being. Taking this into account, tools for automatic real-time data analysis are of increasing importance. The computer process, analyze, and filter the data, selecting the most promising hypothesis. Some typical applications include: user modeling, activity monitoring, sensor networks, classification, intrusion detection, etc. 2 Team Pavel Brazdil, Professor Catedrático, Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto; Prof. Dr. Pavel Brazdil got his PhD degree from the University of Edinburgh in The thesis was in he area of Machine Learning. 1

6 7 Software The use of software tools has the main goal of solving practical problems. The study, analysis, and evaluation in small-scale applied problems as a formative perspective. We choose two software tools, frequently used in data mining teaching: R (Ihaka e Gentleman, 1996) R is a statistical oriented programming language. The interface is command line. WEKA (Witten e Frank, 2005) Weka is a machine-learning oriented software. It uses a graphical interface, with the possibility to develop sequences of tasks. The Knowledge Explorer permit to decompose a complex problem into sub-problems in a graphical environment. Referências Han, J. e Kamber, M. (2006). Data Mining Concepts and Techniques.

text:
I know many of you have gardens or would love to have, even on their balconies. Imagine having all the resources you need to enhance the sustainability of your home or land. Anyone, yes anyone, could learn how to grow an incredibly productive backyard permaculture garden! When I wrote about making your own soil using the methods of permaculture last August little did I know that there was someone working on a FREE Open Source resource on Permaculture.
|Visit to Glovers St Permaculture Garden photo: Milkwooders
Permaculture is a revolutionary design system for creating sustainable human environments. It is about designing households and communities that are productive, sustaining and largely self reliant and have minimal impact on the environment. It aims to borrow from nature and apply to everyday life to create stable, productive systems that provide for human needs, harmoniously integrating the land with its inhabitants.
It is a promising path to creating sustainable communities, founded on a system of ethics emphasizing the importance of shared values among people. The ethics embrace care for the Earth, care for the people, and sharing the excess. The gardening techniques draw from several other disciplines including natural and organic farming, agro-forestry, sustainable development, and applied ecology.
Open Source
I am a strong believer in the Open Source philosophy and that is why you can see the Creative Commons sign on my left sidebar. Open Source that promotes free redistribution and access to a product's design and implementation details. The open-source model includes the concept of concurrent yet different agendas and differing approaches in production, in contrast with more centralized models of development.
A main principle and practice of open-source development is peer production by bartering and collaboration, with the end-product, source-material, and documentation available at no cost to the public. This method can be applied to all fields of endeavor.

text: What can you say about a Washington novel with a lost-poet, Mozart-loving investigative reporter, middle-aged, cooling his first heart attack, and out chasing his first Pulitzer by nailing a scandal on the alcoholic Speaker of the House through a newsleak wrung from the Speaker's wife while in bed with her? This turns out to be true even if sleazier scandals bloom from the sheets which can't be revealed. Especially since the conflict of interest includes a simultaneous affair with the reporter's publisher's sexpot daughter? And when the naked reporter has to hide in a bedroom closet while the President himself puts the make on the Speaker's wife? And the Speaker then turns over tapes to the reporter which can hang the President not only as a boudoir failure but a stock manipulator? If it's all penned by Les Whitten, who shares Jack Anderson's Washington byline, you can prefigure a certain commercial exposure.

Shifty dirty rotten scoundrels! - Google becoming EVIL?
Users of the popular google toolbar addon for IE, it would be very much in your best interests to have a read of this rather eye-opening article of which I've just discovered over at IceTeks today. Google plan to pull a rather sly and unexpected move in an upcoming update to the toolbar, adding their new "AutoLink" 'feature' which basically adds links and info on websites which you'd normally believe to be placed there by the webmasters choice. However, all content added to the layout of the website by this feature is in fact on the viewer's side due to the influence of the new Autolink feature. This in the long run will cause a lot more harm than good for reasons detailed in IceTek's well covered and thought out article.
A highly recommended read for all parties.
As you may have heard Google will be releasing a new feature in it's popular toolbar, for those who unfortunately still use Internet Explorer. This feature will modify the web site and add links at the click of a mouse. No, not on the server, but on the user's side. Not quite hacking, but basically the same results of a defacement. The typical user won't have a clue that the site being viewed is actually different then what the webmaster intended.
Let's say you are selling books through your online store and post the ISBN number, Google Autolinks will turn the ISBN number into a link...to Amazon! So instead of buying from you, it will be just as convenient, if more, for the user to buy by clicking on the link, or perhaps the user will click, not knowing you are not affiliated with Amazon and buy it there. There goes a customer. Depending on the knowledge of the customer and what just happened, the customer might think he/she was still buying from you by clicking that link. So even people who want to support your online store will actually be misdirected due to this "feature".

I somehow missed this announcement back in October: Catherine Brekus's book Sarah Osborn's World: The Rise of Evangelical Christianity in Early America is the winner of the annual Aldersgate Prize, awarded by the John Wesley Honors College at Indiana Wesleyan University (see the press release here). Brekus will accept the award and the $3,500 monetary prize that comes with it in April 2014, when she will give a public lecture on the book at IWU.
From the press release:
From a field of nearly 80 nominations, the selection committee chose Sarah Osborn's World: "Brekus's study offers a penetrating reconstruction and analysis of
early American evangelicalism's encounter with the intellectual currents
of Enlightenment Europe in an elegantly written biography of a
long-forgotten female religious leader." Summing up the consensus of the committee, one member noted: "Brekus,
with deep human sympathy, illuminates a world of spiritual awakening
that is at once quite different from, and yet in deep continuity with,
our own experiences and trials. The scholarship in Sarah Osborn's World
is meticulous, the range and depth of the research authoritative, and
the result is a powerful reading experience such as is unusual in a
bench-mark academic work."
Congratulations Catherine!

Today's New York Times story about the extremely harsh prison sentences being meted out in rural counties made us wonder if the national pattern described in the story—of fewer prison admissions from urban areas but increasing traffic from rural ones—has also occurred in New York State. Reports from the state's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (from 2006 and 2013) suggest it has … sort of.
Back in 2006, 47.4 percent of new admissions to the state prison system were from New York City. In 2013, the last year for which numbers are posted, the city's contribution was a slightly lower 43.2 percent.
Ten years ago, the counties the state considers "upstate-other," i.e. rural or nearly so, sent 19.4 percent of the state's new inmates. In 2013, those counties contributed 24.8 percent.*
However, in a slight departure from the national trend, the counties the state considers "upstate urban" (Albany, Broome, Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Oneida, Onondaga, Rensselaer and Schenectady) have a slightly bigger presence in the admissions stream in 2013 (21.3 percent) versus 2006 (20.9 percent).
Meanwhile, New York's "suburban" counties (Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester) have seen their share drop from 12.2 percent to 10.7 percent.
The overall number of admissions to state prisons has been falling steadily, from 15,300 in 2006 to 13,700 in 2013. Over that period, admissions from the city, suburban and upstate urban counties fell each year. But the number of new prisoners from the rural counties increased.
What's just as interesting is that these trends have not eliminated New York's very striking skew between prison admissions and population share.
If you look at the five-year periods of 2002-6 and 2009-13, the city and upstate urban counties remain over-represented in prison admissions—in other words, their share of entrants exceeds their share of the population—though the gap is smaller now.
The "upstate other" (i.e. rural) counties have gone from being slightly under-represented to slightly over-represented.
But the suburban counties remain vastly under-represented in prison admissions.
|Share of NYS population, 2015
|Share of new admissions to NYS prisons, 2002-2006
|Share of new admissions to NYS prisons, 2009-2013
|New York City
|Suburban Downstate
|Upstate Urban
|Upstate Other (rural)
* For those scoring at home, the "upstate other" (i.e., rural) counties are Allegany, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Montgomery, Ontario, Orange, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Putnam, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates.

Product Description
Olive oil! Glorious Olive Oil. Made with at least 70% extra virgin olive oil in the tradition of Savon de Marseille, our version is an exquisitely moisturizing soap which is very gentle on the skin. Keeping the tradition, no fragrance is added. It's not easy to make something better than an old time favourite, but, we did. Try this and you will believe; tradition can be improved.
How to use
- Rub soap over body and use either a bath towel or sponge to lather. Allow soap to dry on a well drained soap dish (see our accessories section). This makes your soap bar last longer and also fills the bathroom with it's beautiful fragrance. When soap becomes too small to use comfortably, wet a new bar of soap and stick them togther. You'll never waste soap this way.

Ryan Bader was a guest on a recent edition of Submission Radio out of Australia. Bader will make his Bellator debut later this summer against Phil Davis for the light heavyweight title at Bellator 180.
Check out highlights from the interview below as Bader discusses Anthony Johnson, Davis, their first fight and more:
If Ryan was surprised when Anthony Johnson retired from MMA
"Yeah, no, I kind of herd rumblings – no pun intended there – that he was gonna retire. I just heard it from other people so I wasn't too surprised when he was actually retiring. You know, I heard he had a job with the Rams or something like that. So you know, it is what it is. It's more power to him. He has dominated a lot of guys, he lost that title fight, but I feel that his mind wasn't really in that one. If you're already thinking about retiring going into a fight, you're kind of done regardless. So yeah. More people should do that, more people should say, 'hey, this is my time, I want to get out before it's too late, before I get knocked out ten times in my career and what not'. So yeah, I think he had a lot of potential and a lot of great fights left in him, but more power to him for him to say, 'hey I'm done'."
If he's glad that Anthony Johnson didn't retire during his contract negotiations because then the UFC may have kept him around due to the think roster at light heavyweight
"Exactly. I have a great contract with Bellator and everything. It was something I could not pass up, and I didn't think the UFC was gonna match that. I kind of feel like it's a one of a kind deal with them and in MMA in general. So I feel like we have one of the better deals outside of being the UFC champion and getting pay-per-view points and being able to pull numbers. I feel like I have one of the better deals in all of mixed martial arts."
How Ryan found out King Mo was hurt and that he's now fighting for the title against Phil Davis
"I was just at the house on Sunday. My manager called and said 'hey, King Mo's out'. I'm like, 'oh man'. I just had all my friends and family get tickets out to New York and they're super expensive, flying across country. And then he's like, 'well but we have Phil Davis'. And I'm like, 'awesome, but when?' you know, figuring they're not gonna do it on the New York card cause they already have two title fights. And he said, 'no, same deal. New York. Same Madison Square Garden, main eventing on Spike'. So it's kind of the best of everything. Like, it all kind of worked out. We had the option to wait for Phil Davis later on, potentially in November, but I wanted to be on the New York card, so I said, 'hey I'll take a fight, let's do whoever'. And then they kind of came in and said, 'if King Mo looks good we'll do King Mo and you in Madison Square Garden', cause I wanted to fight regardless on that card. And then hey, it worked out. So I'm super excited and I've been training hard throughout this whole process, but you know, ramping it up this week until fight time. So, all I've wanted was an opportunity in the UFC or what not, and there's times where I think I should have had opportunities to fight for the title. So now I have one. It's just time to go to work and just go out there and win a belt."
If Ryan Bader sees much a difference between the Phil Davis he fought in the UFC and the Phil Davis that's now champion in Bellator
"Not really. It's the same guy. You know, everybody with experience gets better with just being in there. He uses kicks well. I don't think he likes to get hit very much. That's why he keeps that distance, he keeps that awkward motion. He obviously has a great ground game, good wrestling. I've felt that before already and I've been in there with him, so that's a plus too. I've only had one other rematch in my life and that was my last fight with Nogueira, so I look forward to it. I know what he's bringing, he kind of knows what I'm bringing. But the thing is, I've gotten a lot better since our first fight. So that's where I feel it's gonna be the difference. I feel like I've grown more than he has."
Ryan's thought on Davis' comments that King Mo would've beaten him and that Davis is glad he gets to give Ryan a loss first, if Ryan feels like Davis is underestimating him
"Yeah, I do. I feel like I'm a different fighter than when we first fought, so I think he's gonna be surprised. If he was surprised the first time, he's going to be even more surprised this time. I'm more well-rounded than I was, my striking is better, everything is better, my mentality is better, and so we're ready. I'm motivated. He won that title and he has it. I haven't won a title. I want to go in there and take that away from him and have it for my own. So I'm super motivated and I think it's gonna be a different fight. I'm looking to go in there and I'm looking to finish this fight and make a statement, for sure."
How he sees it going
"I don't really know. It's just one of those things where you're just… I'm prepared to go five rounds hard, but if it doesn't, great. You know, you there and finish the fight, that's what I want to do. But I'm always prepared to go in there and grind it out. That being said, in the last couple of fights I've finished the fights and knocked out Ilir Latifi and then finished Lil Nog on the ground and I'd love to go in there and make it three in a row with a championship fight."
If Ryan plans on watching the Bellator NYC main event and co-main event after his fight later that night
"Yeah, it's gonna be a cool position because we're gonna be fighting early on that card on the Spike portion. So I love doing that. I'll be fighting before midnight over there, those guys will be fighting at 2am. So I'm used to fighting like that. I fought Phil when it was 3am and it's just one of those things where you've gotta do what you gotta do. But I get to go in there, win a title, sit down with my belt and watch these guys and watch the pay-per-view portion. I don't know if those guys will be in title contention but it will be good to sit there and watch the guys in my weight class duke it out. Especially some of the legends like Fedor and all that. And I'm looking forward to that, sitting there with the belt and a beer, having a good time."
What the fight is that Ryan would prefer between Fedor or the winner of Sonnen/ Wanderlei
"Is Tito Ortiz still retired? Obviously, I lost a fight, and upset to Tito back in the day in 2011 or whatnot. So I'd love to get that fight. That's the one I've always wanted to get back. But for me, a Fedor fight would be awesome. It was one of those things where (I'd want to fight him) purely out of respect. I've gotten to fight some legends in the sport and he was always one of those guys I always was a huge fan of. I've gotten to fight guys like Rampage, all those studs and guys I've watched growing up and so definitely Fedor is one of those fights I'd definitely love to have. Even if it wasn't for the title and if it was just one of those fun catch-weight heavyweight fights, probably definitely him."

Sony announces three new Alpha A-mount lenses (SAL70400G2, SAL50F14Z, SAL18552), a new standard flash unit (HVL-F20M), and new wired remote cable (RM-VP1).
Starting with the new Sony 70-400mm lens, we basically have a completely updated ultra high quality optical specimen!! A killer all around lens to have for any Alpha camera owner in my opinion. I used the older version of this lens on the Nex-5n with the LA-EA1 lens adapter (click here for article), and it was a blast to use!! On the Full Frame A99 it must be a dream I would imagine and perhaps I can get it to review at some point 😉
Next we have the killer long-awaited Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar SSM lens. This lens is packing extremely high quality optics and perfect for weddings, portraits, and street photography in particular. That is what I would use it for anyway, although a great low light shooter as well with such a fast f/1.4 aperture. Close range indoor sports like basketball is also another area this lens would shine in my opinion. Especially on a crop factor camera like the SLT-A57, or SLT-A77 which will give you and effective ~75mm focal length!!
Lastly on the new Sony A-Mount lenses we have an updated version of the popular 18-55mm kit lens. It has some new optics in the rear to improve quality, and some updates to mechanical parts for a better user experience. I guess the focus and zoom ring gearing or whatever.
As far as the New Sony Camera Accessories go we have a long-awaited Standard Hot Shoe Flash (HVL-F20M) that is a relatively small form factor. Designed for the Nex-6 really in my opinion 😉 It's nice to have another standard flash option besides the really expensive pro grade HVL-F43AM Flash unit. Lastly Sony announced a new cable that can work with any versatile Multi Terminal interface that features handy controls for zoom and video recording start/stop.
Pre-Orders now available @ BHPhoto!!
Sony 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II Lens
Sony's G lens line-up is strengthened for 2013 with the revised 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II. Ideal for capturing wildlife and action-packed sports, the upgraded super-telephoto zoom builds further on the premium performance of its predecessor with enhanced optics and faster, more responsive autofocus. Thanks to a new LSI drive circuit, autofocus speed of the SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor) is around four times quicker than before. Teamed with enhanced tracking AF, the upgraded lens is now even more suitable for capturing stills and Full HD video of fast-moving subjects.
While its optical design is carried over from the previous-generation model, the new-generation lens features Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating on optical surfaces. Offering around five times the efficiency of conventional anti-reflection coatings, this advanced technology reduces flare and ghosting for exceptionally high-contrast images.
Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM Lens
The new Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZA SSM joins the existing Distagon 24mm, Planar 85mm and Sonnar 135mm in the A-mount range of prime length optics by Carl Zeiss. Offering a fixed 50mm focal length and extra-bright F1.4 aperture, the premium lens is an ideal choice for quality-critical portraiture and low-light shooting.
Featuring 8 elements in 5 groups with two aspherical elements, the brand new optical design is optimised for superb results with Sony's full-frame SLT-A99. Exceptional resolving power and contrast at all apertures are teamed with smooth, quiet autofocusing and a rear-focus system that maintains the same lens body length during AF. The dust- and moisture-resistant design extends the appeal of the new lens to a range of outdoor shooting applications.

I don't really do nature photos very often. I am really fascinated by people and what they are doing, less about trees, animals, and so on. I feel like this is a genetic fluke, because my great-great uncle was John Muir, a wonderful naturalist. Maybe someday I'll get back to my roots (ha ha!). I do have a love for the outdoors, but moreso photos and not immersion.
These three are from my yard back at home. Oh, Florida.
Brad and Niko.
Hope and I have been best friends since we were 8.
My nephew, Ivan. When I say he is a genius, I am not speaking in hyperbole.
