I WATCHED Theresa May's conference speech in Manchester. The main hall was full, so I experienced the May self-destruct in an overflow marquee set up inside the "security zone" by a lobbying and PR firm, PLMR.
They represent a variety of companies, including Costa Coffee and BAE systems. So thanks to the corporate political influence machine I was able to watch the Prime Minister falling apart in real time, while enjoying a supply of free pizza and champagne. It felt a bit hyper-real.
The mood among the assembled Tory-friendly lobbyists was real shock. It looked like power dissolving before our eyes and led to many involuntary, pained "ooh" and "uhn" sounds, and a general will-someone-please-end-her-misery feeling.
May's malfunction has been blamed on many things — a "conference cold." Ineffective magnetic letters. A prankster.
But I think May's difficulty with her words reflects a contradiction that hobbled the Tories at the election. A rift that seems to be getting wider.
The long period of stagnation after the 2008 financial crash has worn away remaining support for both the "New Labour" and Cameroon-y way of managing the economy. Throwing a bit of cash from a booming, finance-driven economy at social welfare doesn't work when there is less and less cash and the economy is stagnating.
The Tories got some distance by promising a sharp shock of austerity would be the basis for economic revival. But they ran out of road when the revival didn't happen and the shock became dull, continuous pain.
Which has left the Tories flipping between offering feel-better reforms and promising more stern measures.
So in the election they wobbled between half-baked "reform" ideas promoted by May's rubbish Rasputin, the mediocre monk Nick Timothy, and "tough talk" offered by "Lizard of Oz" Lynton Crosby.
May opened her conference speech admitting this, saying the election campaign was "too scripted. Too presidential. And it allowed the Labour Party to paint us as the voice of continuity, when the public wanted to hear a message of change."
So it looks like May wants to restart the "change" agenda. The attempt to "park her tanks on Labour's lawn."
Her problem is, as I've said before, the "tanks" are so obviously fake. They are not the dangerous battlefield steel machines. They are easily spotted decoy tanks, made of wood and canvas.
As May's speech faltered under her coughing fit and lost voice, it was hard not to think some of the problem came from her lack of belief in the words she mouthed.
Because Jeremy Corbyn seems more committed the eye-catching parts of May's speech than Theresa May does.
May said the background to the speech was how "the effects of the financial crisis — nearly a decade of low growth, stagnating wages and pay restraint linger."
But stagnating pay doesn't "linger" — it is forced on the public sector by her pay policies. It infects the private sector by the growth of phony self-employed and temp work, which her government has allowed to spread.
May declared she had "always taken on vested interests" and "called out those who abuse their positions of power" because she was always "sweeping away injustice."
This was the Theresa May who voted against the introduction of the minimum wage and for keeping the anti-gay bigotry of Section 28.
May declared that "the National Health Service" is "the very essence of solidarity in our United Kingdom." Yet her government is trying to squeeze away that essence with cuts and break up the solidarity with privatisation.
May announced that "we will oversee the biggest expansion in training for doctors and nurses."
But May is also forcing student nurses to pay £9,000 tuition fees and abolished their bursaries. So nursing school applications have — unsurprisingly — collapsed.
May said that she was about "fixing our broken housing market" by getting government back into the business of building houses with "a new generation of council houses" and rules giving "more security" for "families who rent from a private landlord."
But it turns out the "new generation" of council houses is a negligible 5,000 a year, some time in the future.
The "security" for renters just a code of practice.
May also promised "a price cap on energy bills" because "the energy market punishes loyalty with higher prices." But is this the full price cap or the partial, temporary price cap for some customers? May flits between the two.
What was in the speech — an end to wage stagnation, extra NHS money, council houses, energy price caps, taking on vested interests — are all the things Corbyn passionately believes, but May merely mouths. It was hard not to see the loss of voice as May's body being honest about how much she means this stuff.
The problem for her is that the reforms look unconvincing. And with every month in power, every failure to introduce these reforms, makes them look less convincing.
But the pure "stern" approach just doesn't win votes. The message from conference was that May will make the "reform" promises.
Other cabinet ministers — like Chancellor Philip Hammond — will put out the "stern" messages.
But the formula isn't working. The "nice" and "nasty" just cancel each other out.
The continuing ideological split creates a big advantage for Labour. But is also a big warning.
May is raising expectations she cannot meet. But the shadow cabinet must look like it can meet those needs. And when it becomes a cabinet it must deliver them. Neither are easy.
Unless Labour ministers end up physically handing over the keys of attractive new social houses to tenants, they will suffer the same fate as May.
Unless words become solid, they will, like May, become a broken reed.
Actually forcing through social change after years of technocratic tinkering by governments will be hard. To do so Labour's MPs will need a unity of purpose and force of will that they are only beginning to show.

U.S. Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, says he opposes ongoing efforts to extend federal long-term unemployment benefits that recently expired.
"We're at the point when you see unemployment numbers going down, you see the other side (Democrats) as well as us (Republicans) talking about and recognizing that we're coming out of this economic turmoil that started in 2008," Reed said Monday during his weekly conference call with reporters in his 23rd Congressional District. "We have to get back to a shade of normalcy. Unemployment benefits aren't free."
Instead, Reed pointed to a bill he recently co-sponsored in the House that would give tax credits to businesses that hire the long-term unemployed - defined as those who've been out of work 27 weeks or longer.
"To me, that's a new way of looking at the issue, and a better way of looking at the issue, because now you get the person back to work. We're teaching people how to fish rather just giving them a fish," Reed said.
Reed's opponent in the race for the 23rd District seat, Tompkins County legislator Martha Robertson, recently criticized him for being "out of touch with the economic realities in his own district" in opposing extended benefits, pointing to the 7.9 percent unemployment rate in Reed's home county of Steuben.
The federal government began providing extended unemployment benefits when the Great Recession hit in 2008 for laid-off workers who'd exhausted their 26 weeks of state benefits, giving them up to another 47 weeks at an average of $256 per week.
The extended-benefits program expired at the end of 2013 when Congress couldn't reach a deal to continue it.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the program "a vital lifeline" for families that also stimulates the economy. He said 1.3 million Americans lost benefits, including 127,000 New Yorkers, when the program expired at the end of December.
As of Monday evening, Senate Democrats were still trying to hammer out a compromise with Republicans on some type of extension of the program, with President Obama urging action. House Speaker John Boehner said he'll consider proposals.
Republicans say the government can't afford to continue the program indefinitely and that it takes away some of the incentive for people to find work. They want a deal offset by spending cuts or concessions elsewhere.

Gould well pumps are designed to be submersible in order to access underground water supplies for small municipal and residential water supplies and light irrigation systems for farming. The pumps are designed to be operated continuously without damage to the motor to make pumping well water simple and hassle-free.
Gould pumps are corrosion resistant and non-toxic in order to create safe water supplies for small areas free from harmful chemicals from a natural well source. The pumps are crafted from stainless steel to ensure quality and durability so that replacement is not constantly required. This also eliminates unnecessary gaps in water retrieval that may have negative effects on farms and fields requiring consistent sources of well water for irrigation.

Phoronix: Pairing A C Compiler With QEMU's Code Generator
Earlier this week when writing about the state of the Tiny C Compiler, I learned more about QCC. QCC is a new initiative to pair a forked version of the Tiny C Compiler (TCC) with QEMU's code generator...
No announcement yet.
Pairing A C Compiler With QEMU's Code Generator
new posts
Pairing A C Compiler With QEMU's Code GeneratorTags: None
I'm not sure what removal of sparc 32bit HOST support entails for TCG I would think it means TCG can no longer generate sparc instructions which would be rather bad for the cross platformness of TCG as a compiler backend then again its just a matter of adding it back,
Leave a comment:
Landley tells me that QCC is going to be on the agenda once Aboriginal Linux switches from uclibc to musl (next release), and toybox (his BSD-licensed replacement for BusyBox, which you can extend by dropping in a single file for each applet you want to add) reaches 1.0.
Toybox is at 0.4.x right now, so I'm guessing ~1-2 years more...
QCC will be BSD-licensed; QCG is already, and he has gotten permission from Fabrice for using Fabrice's code in TCC under that license.
Much of the work on tcc 0.9.24 was based on Landley's work (http://landley.net/code/tinycc/), but some of the most recent changes are ones he may need to redo/inquire about. Specifically, he mentioned variable length arrays as something that needed to happen for the kernel to build.
As far as I can tell, tcc doesn't support weak symbols, so it doesn't work for compiling musl (what I was interested in).
And in case you're wondering why anyone wants to compile the kernel with TCC:
1-small codebase for a self-hosting environment
2-avoid GNU (for bloat and because of the FSF's attempts to rewrite history)
About the latter, here's Ulrich Drepper's comments from the glibc 2.2.4 release notes:
The glibc situation is even more frightening if one realizes the story
behind it. When I started porting glibc 1.09 to Linux (which
eventually became glibc 2.0) Stallman threatened me and tried to force
me to contribute rather to the work on the Hurd. Work on Linux would
be counter-productive to the Free Software course. Then came, what
would be called embrace-and-extend if performed by the Evil of the
North-West, and his claim for everything which lead to Linux's
Which brings us to the second point. One change the SC forced to
happen against my will was to use LGPL 2.1 instead of LGPL 2. The
argument was that the poor lawyers cannot see that LGPL 2 is
sufficient. Guess who were the driving forces behind this.
The most remarkable thing is that Stallman was all for this despite
the clear motivation of commercialization. The reason: he finally got
the provocative changes he made to the license through. In case you
forgot or haven't heard, here's an excerpt:
[...] For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free
programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating
system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
This $&%$& demands everything to be labeled in a way which credits him
and he does not stop before making completely wrong statements like
"its variant". I find this completely unacceptable and can assure
everybody that I consider none of the code I contributed to glibc
(which is quite a lot) to be as part of the GNU project and so a major
part of what Stallman claims credit for is simply going away.
This part has a morale, too, and it is almost the same: don't trust
this person. Read the licenses carefully and rip out parts which give
Stallman any possibility to influence your future. Phrases like
[...] GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.
just invites him to screw you when it pleases him. Rip out the "any
later version" part and make your own decisions when to use a
different license since otherwise he can potentially do you or your
work harm.

The Malaysia stock market has finished higher in two of three trading days since the end of the two-day slide in which it had given away more than 7 points or 0.4 percent. The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index remains just beneath the 1,720-point plateau and it may add to its winnings on Friday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is positive on optimism the U.S. government will avoid a shutdown, and a bump in crude oil prices. The European and U.S. markets were up and the Asian bourses figure to open in similar fashion.
The KLCI finished barely higher on Thursday following mixed performances from the financial shares, plantations and industrials.
For the day, the index added 0.72 points or 0.04 percent to finish at 1,719.05 after trading between 1,718.47 and 1,723.40. Volume was 1.8 billion shares worth 2.5 billion ringgit. There were 455 decliners and 388 gainers.
Among the actives, Telekom Malaysia plummeted 3.05 percent, while Sime Darby tumbled 2.27 percent, Genting Malaysia spiked 1.94 percent, Astro Malaysia Holdings skidded 1.07 percent, IOI Corporation climbed 0.90 percent, Axiata Group shed 0.56 percent, Public Bank lost 0.30 percent, Petronas Chemicals advanced 0.27 percent, Tenaga Nasional fell 0.26 percent, Maybank collected 0.11 percent and CIMB Group and YTL Corporation were unchanged.
The lead from Wall Street is firm as stocks saw moderate strength on Thursday, although they remained beneath their recent record closing highs.
The Dow rose 70.57 points or 0.29 percent to 24,211.48, while the NASDAQ advanced 36.47 points or 0.54 percent to 6,812.84 and the S&P 500 climbed 7.71 points or 0.29 percent to 2,636.98.
The strength reflected optimism about lawmakers passing a short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown ahead of Friday's deadline. However, traders continued to express uncertainty about the details of the Republican tax reform bill.
In economic news, the Labor Department noted an unexpected decrease in first-time claims for jobless benefits in the week ended December 2. Also, the Federal Reserve said that consumer credit jumped by $20.5 billion in October, beating estimates.
Crude oil futures rebounded Thursday, as traders bet this week's decline was overdone. WTI light sweet crude oil was up 76 cents at $56.72 a barrel, having slipped from near $60 over the past few weeks.

Pride Complex Map (PDF)Complex Map
Pride Soccer Complex
- 8700 East Woodmen Rd (Please note our office is located at 5955 Lehman Dr)
- From I-25, at exit 149, east on Woodmen Rd. (8 miles) to Mohawk Rd.
- South at Mohawk to parking area and fields.
- Alcohol, tobacco and fireworks are strictly prohibited.
- Food, gum, sunflower seed or other seed casings are not allowed at field level.
- Dogs are allowed but MUST be leashed at all times. We also ask that you clean up after your dog so everyone enjoys the complex.
- Parking in designated areas. Handicap areas are marked with Blue striped poles, no parking areas with red striped poles and walkways are marked yellow striped poles.
Pride Soccer was one of the first soccer clubs in Colorado to own and manage their own soccer complex. The membership is the owners. In 1998 the club purchased the 80 acres of land located off Woodmen Rd with the vision to build soccer fields. It was obvious even 20 years ago that the need for open areas for youth to play soccer was not keeping up with the growth of our community. The development of the complex has been broken into V phases. (View pictures from Construction Process)
- Phase I- The opening of Field 1, 9/18/2004
- Phase II- The opening of Field 2, 2005
- Phase III- The opening of Field 3, 2007 as well as base work for a 4th field.
- Phase IV- Retaining walls, seating area and drainage system, 2008
- Phase V- 2-9v9 fields, 2-7v7 fields, parking area improvements and storm water requirements for the area west of the berm.
A championship pitch with stadium seating, a clubhouse with an indoor field and club offices and lighting on 4 of the current fields are just a few of the items still to come. Colorado Springs continues to grow and be voted one of the nicest places to live in the US. We want to continue to improve our complex to grow with this great community. Our hope is to foster new partnerships within the community to help us achieve the vision.

Example of a properly completed form for reference.
Included document last updated 1/21/2019
*The Following Kansas and Greeley County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire
This SVQ form is required by the State Property Valuation Department(PVD). It must be completed with each deed that is recorded in the Register of Deeds Office unless the deed meets one of 16 exemptions listed on the back of the form. If your document is exempt, it must be clearly stated on the document being recorded. Many counties have been approved to use this one-part form. For a complete list, see the attached document. Be sure to print and submit the instructions on the reverse side. Both sides of questionnaire must be filed. Both versions of the form provided here are the same; the first one can be filled in online, while the second one must be printed first.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Real estate conveyances in Kansas are governed by Chapter 58, Section 22 of the Kansas Statutes, but the statutes do not specifically address grant deeds.
A grant deed is a legal document used to transfer, or convey, rights in real property from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). A recorded grant deed imparts notice of this transfer to all persons, including subsequent purchasers or mortgagees (K.S.A. 58-2222).
Within the deed are covenants, or guarantees, that the grantor has not previously sold the real property interest now being conveyed to the grantee, and that the property is being conveyed to the grantee without any liens or encumbrances, except for those specifically disclosed in the deed. Grant deeds do not generally require the grantor to defend title claims.
A lawful grant deed includes the grantor's full name and marital status, as well as the grantee's full name, marital status, mailing address, and vesting. Vesting describes how the grantee holds title to the property. For Kansas residential property, the primary methods for holding title in co-ownership are tenancy in common and joint tenancy. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more persons is presumed to create a tenancy in common, unless otherwise stated (K.S.A. 58-501).
Include the complete legal description for the subject property, as well as its physical (street) address or common name and the derivation of title. Additionally, the form must meet state and local standards for recorded documents.
All deeds must be signed by the grantor, or by the party's lawful agent or attorney, and may be acknowledged or proved and certified in the manner prescribed by the Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (K.S.A. 58-2209).
The State Property Valuation Department requires a Real Estate Sales Validation Questionnaire with each deed unless it meets one of the exemptions provided in K.S.A. 79-1437e. Include the amount of consideration exchanged on the form (K.S.A. 79-1437g).
Submit the deed and any required supplemental documents for recording in the county where the property is located. In most cases, the deed will be returned to the grantee after recording. The register of deeds will forward the information to the county clerk, who will update records for mailing tax statements (K.S.A. 58-2221). Record the deed in the appropriate county to provide notice to third parties (K.S.A. 58-2223).

A container cap for a pill container is disclosed wherein the cap provides protection against pill degradation through shaking as well as moisture exposure. The cap is of an integral one-piece construction. A particularly useful application is in the low cost cylindrical thermoplastic pill containers, where the aforesaid protection is necessary without multi-piece construction.
What is claimed is:
1. A container cap comprising a bellows and flange means extending radially outwardly therefrom, and an overcap operatively associated therewith, said flange means comprisingmeans to engage the lip of a container so that the bellows is disposed within the container, whereby the bellows expends to contact the material within the container to limit movement thereof, further comprising a hollow cylindrical portion integrallyconnected at one end to the bellows and at the other end to the flange means, said flange means further comprising means to engage said overcap, said overcap comprising means for engaging the outside of the container so as to compress said flange betweensaid overcap and said container lip to form an air-tight seal.
2. The cap of claim 1, wherein said lip engaging means comprising means to vapor seal the container.
3. The cap of claim 1, wherein the cap is formed of thermoplastic material.
4. The cap of claim 3, said cap being of one-piece construction.
5. The cap of claim 1, wherein said cap is of an injection blow-molded thermoplastic construction.
6. The cap of claim 1, said means to engage the lip further comprises means to engage the outside of the container.
7. The cap of claim 6, said means to engage the outside of the container comprising means cooperatively associated with the container to lock the cap to the container.
8. The cap of claim 1, said flange means extending across the top of the container.
9. The cap of claim 1, wherein said flange means is formed as a plate which covers the bellows.
10. The cap of claim 9, wherein the bellows further comprises a bottom wall for contacting the material in the container and said bottom wall being formed with an orifice to permit expansion and contraction of the bellows.
11. The cap of claim 10, wherein said cap is of an injection blow-molded thermoplastic construction.
12. The cap of claim 1, said overcap engaging means comprising threads and said container being formed with interengaging threads.
13. The cap of claim 1, wherein said flange extends fixedly radially outwardly from said hollow cylindrical portion so that the top face of said flange contactingly engages the bottom face of said overcap, and the radially outward part of thebottom face of the flange contacts the container lip.
This invention relates to container caps. Specifically this invention relates to caps for use with containers for solid materials such as pills.
Heretofore in the prior art it was known to provide a cap insert with a groove for engaging the lip of the container such that when the cap was tightened down, the insert would form a vapor-light seal with the container, thus protecting thecontents of the container against ambient moisture.
It was also known in the prior art, that to protect pills in a container from breaking as a result of vibration, cotton or other soft, flexible materials would be placed on top of the pills and wedged between the cap and the pills. While thecotton served its intended purpose, it was subject to being misplaced or damaged by the user in repeated pill takings, such that after a certain time the residual pills remained in the container without the cotton.
There is now provided by the present invention a unitary container cap which provides both a vapor-seal while simultaneously protecting the contents against damage through shaking, and in a preferred aspect serves as the overcap as well to lockto the container.
It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide a container cap which is multi-functional.
It is another principal object of this invention to provide a container cap which eliminates the need for multiple container and cap inserts.
It is another object of this invention to provide a container cap as aforesaid which is of unitary construction.
It is another object of this invention to provide a pill container cap which simultaneously provide pill protection against breakage as well as moisture degration.
It is still a further object of this invention to provide a container cap as aforesaid which further locks to the container body.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a container cap which is readily manufactured of relatively inexpensive materials and yet is safe and practical in use.
The aforesaid as well as other objects and advantages aswell become apparent from a reading of the following description, the adjoined claims, and the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container cap of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the cap of this invention being inserted into a pill container;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the cap of this invention locked into a pill container;
FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of another embodiment.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, there is shown the container cap of this invention generally referred to as numeral 10. Cap 10 comprises a generally cylindrical body portion 11 and a top circular flange 12 integral therewith and coaxially disposedthereto. Body portion 11 comprises a bottom wall 13 having a central hole 14; a flexible bellows 15 extending upwardly from the bottom wall; and a tubular portion 16 extending from the bellows portion to the bottom 17 of flange 12.
To permit the expansion and contraction of bellows 17, air is permitted to flow through the bellows. Flange 12 is formed with a central plate portion 31 which seals off the interior of the bellows.
Tubular portion 16 unlike bellows 17 is non-retractable and non-extensible, and the length of the tubular portion determines in effect the maximum height of the material in the container.
Flange 12 is formed with an annular groove 18 for engaging the lip 19 of container 20. Groove 18 forms a circumfrential air-tight seal as at 21. Overcap 25 is formed with an annular projection 26 for interengaging annular surface 27 in the top28 of flange 12. Overcap 25 and flange 12 or more specifically flange peripheral surface 41, are correspondingly sized so that, flange 12 fits snugly and is retained in recess 42 of the overcap 25. Overcap 25 is also formed with lugs 29 for engagingprotruding lugs 30 of container 20 containing pills P for locking the overcap 25. In this manner of construction the flange 12 is mounted within the overcap 25, and sealed to the container as at 21, and locked in place by locking lugs 29, 30.
Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown an alternate embodiment generally referred to as numeral 35. Cap 35 is of an integral, one-piece construction with combined bellows 36 and flange 37, as well as locking lug 40 to engage the sides of thecontainer as in the aforesaid embodiment. Thusly, the one-piece construction 35 provides protection against damage from both moisture and rattling, as well as safety locking.
Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown an alternate embodiment 50, which comprises a cap 51 and an overcap 52. Cap 51 is formed with a bellows portion 53, and integral tubular portion 54 as in the aforedescribed embodiment. Cap 51 is also formedwith an annular flange 55 extending outwardly from the tubular portion and providing a central opening 56. Annular flange 55 is of compressible material. Overcap 52 is of conventional construction with internal threads 57 formed to engage threads 58 ofglass vial 59. With the threading of overcap 52, the flange 55 is compressed between overcap surface 60 and lip 61 of vial 59 so as to provide air-tight seals at 62 and 63, thereby protecting the material within the vial.
The caps of the present invention, as exemplified by construction 10, 35 and 51 heretofore described, may be formed of injection blow-molded thermoplastic construction. To achieve same a core rod may be injection-molded with a parison whereinthe outward end of the parison is injection molded to form the detailed construction elements of the flange and fixed in that shape while the body portion of the parison while still thermoplastic can be blow-molded to form the bellows and tubular bodyportions. The hole in the bottom wall of the bellows would be formed by the diameter of the core rod. While in the blow-mold, the formed flange can be held in place by the mold walls.
In an alternate mode of manufacture the flange, tubular portion and bellows without a bottom wall can be injection molded with the sprue emanating from the top central portion of the flange. After injection molding the bottom bellows wall wouldbe thermoplastically welded to the bellows to complete the construction.
The preferred mode of manufacture is by injection blow molding.
Suitable thermoplastics useful pursuant to the present invention include by way of example, the polyolefins (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene); polyvinyls (e.g. PVC, PVA); polystyrene; and the like. Flexible and elastomeric thermoplastics areparticularly desirable.
The container useful in combination with the caps of this invention include both glass as well as plastic. It is particularly desirable to provide the low cost cap in combination with a low cost plastic pill container.
While there has been described specific preferred embodiments of the invention, various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the adjoined claims.

Behind-the-Seat Trail Clearance - Oregon PowerNow 40V Max ChainsawPosted in How To on May 1, 2012
My buddy is an electric-chainsaw guy. He doesn't have very much to cut very often and the stuff he has to cut isn't that big. Plus, he complains that he doesn't want to try to start a cold gas-powered saw twice a year. Personally, I can't imagine being plugged in while trying to cut limbs or trunks, and an electrical cord doesn't do much good out in the wilderness when trying to clear a downed tree off a trail. Not only that, but most electric saws are light-duty units that can't handle what we have to throw at it.
But I admit that I'm impressed with the new Oregon PowerNow lithium battery-powered chainsaw that was recently sent to us. Though we haven't had it long enough to verify this, the battery is said to hold its charge for months while sitting unused. The fact that there is no gas or oil smell allows me to carry it in the cab with zero noxious fumes, and it's truly usable anywhere like a gas chainsaw. It still won't hit the big limbs that a nice, big gas-burning unit will do, but the PowerNow 40V Max seems to be a great little saw to haul behind the seat of your truck.

On Monday, I set out with the kids to run an errand in the West 11th area. Typically, we take the multi-use path that runs along the south side of 11th. This time, we chose a route on the north side of 11th. I'm so glad that we did, because we noticed this little neighborhood bike shop for the first time.
I so want that little bike above the door for Bigger.
The shop is right next to Martin Luther King Jr. Park. One side of the bike shop bears a tribute to Dr. King.
The shop was all closed up, and there were no hours posted. I'm curious to find out more about this place, especially since it is relatively close to our house. Is it new? What kinds of bikes are sold there? I look forward to stopping by again sometime soon to get the whole story of this little spot. I thought about knocking on the door to see if anyone was in the shop, but Little was napping, and I wasn't interested in disturbing him.
Today we're going to be busy running errands again, this time in preparation for a trip to Los Angeles via train. My secret weapon for Amtrak travel is to lay in a back-breaking supply of library books, so that will be stop number one. I also have an appointment about nine miles away, on the north side of town. I believe that I'll be heading to this appointment solo, so I'm considering taking my pre-kids, zippier bike out for a spin. We'll see what the day holds.
Happy riding!

Local search: Using site search in regional press websites - Part 1
Since the end of November I have been publishing a rather loose collection of articles looking at some of the features of the UK's leading regional newspaper sites. I've picked 20 sites that represent the print papers with the largest circulation, and cover the major publishing groups.
So far I've looked at the provision of online video, local news RSS feeds and their subscriber numbers, and the spread of social bookmarking links through the sites.
Today I'm starting a series of posts which will be looking at the site search services provided by the online incarnations of the 20 newspapers.
Manchester Evening News
In terms of placing their site search box, the Manchester Evening News site is unusual in having it on the left hand side of the banner area, as the first item in their global navigation. It is more common to see search on the right-hand side of this kind of arrangement.
When the user reaches the search results page, the site offers some advanced search features. On the right-hand side there are search 'facets', allowing users to filter results by category, date or author.
One thing I don't like about the design, however, is that the sponsored links above the results push the actual results themselves almost totally below the fold. This means that you are presented with options on the right-hand side to 'filter' results that you haven't yet looked at. By the time you have decided you want to filter the results, you have to scroll back up the page to access these links.
Birmingham Mail
Liverpool Echo
Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Evening Chronicle
Teesside Evening Gazette
This family of local papers all utilise a Google Custom Search to provide their site search facility. Users can toggle between site search and Google Web Search. Search boxes are positioned in the top right-hand corner of the banner area.
An additional feature at the top of the results indicates whether the user's search matches a category belonging to the paper, in this case 'bingo'.
Glasgow Evening Times
The Glasgow Evening Times was another of the few sites not to place their search box towards the top right-hand corner of the homepage. Instead, search is accessed via the top of the left-hand navigation.
During the course of these tests I was using the phrase search "iguana droppings" as one of my test searches, on the grounds that it would most likely return null results. On the other hand, if there was a local newspaper story about them, it was bound to be a corker!
I thought I'd hit the jackpot with the Evening Times, when there was one search result for the phrase.
Unfortunately, the story was about seagull droppings, and the fact that it was returned in the results set just indicated that the Glasgow Evening Times search did not recognise using quotation marks as a way of forcing an exact phrase match.
The Evening Times also had another quirky feature, which I've never seen elsewhere. There were options to order the search results as most recent first, or oldest first, or best matches first. Bizarrely there was also an option to order your results 'worst matches' first.
More worryingly, from an interface design point of view, there didn't seem to be any way, either at the top or foot of the results, to page through them. You got 20 results, and no matter how many potential results there were to look at, those 20 were all you could see.
I know that users seldom page past the first results set, but taking away the navigation seems a bit drastic.
Tomorrow, in the second part of this series about regional newspaper search, I'll be looking at the search services offered by the Dundee Courier, Aberdeen Press & Journal, Aberdeen Evening Express and the 'This is...' network.

Mexico ruling almost assures presidential win for Calderon
Panel rejects most challenges by Lopez Obrador
MEXICO CITY - A ruling Monday by Mexico's top electoral court has all but seated conservative Felipe Calderon in the country's presidential chair.
Voting unanimously, the seven judges of the Federal Electoral Tribunal threw out most of the legal arguments presented by leftist challenger Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in demanding a full recount of the July 2 vote.
The official count had Lopez Obrador losing to Calderon by 244,000 votes out of nearly 42 million cast. Lopez Obrador has argued that government support for Calderon and outright fraud robbed him of victory.
Although the electoral tribunal Monday annulled some 238,000 votes in a partial recount ordered earlier this month, Calderon's margin of victory was barely altered.
The tribunal has until Sept. 6 to either declare Calderon president or annul the election and call for another in 18 months. Experts consider an annulment or even a fuller recount extremely unlikely.
"The message was that the election was clean and Lopez Obrador's argument was not sufficiently legally based," John Ackerman, an expert in Mexican election law, said of the tribunal's ruling. "There were various means of interpreting the law. They unfortunately chose the most restrictive one."
Vows to continue fightLopez Obrador has vowed to name himself as an alternative president and continue what he calls his "struggle for democracy."
"They decided to validate the fraud against the popular will ... and to support the delinquents who stole the presidential election from us," Lopez Obrador told cheering supporters Monday evening in the Mexican capital.
"The judges took a political decision, not a judicial one," he said.
Lopez Obrador proposed to followers that they reject the official count and ratify him as leader of a movement of civil resistance that would prevent privatization of Mexico's energy industry and defend the interests of the poor.
In nearly two months of street protests, Lopez Obrador has sought to both push for a complete recount and to discredit the tribunal and other government institutions.
"How do you expect us not to feel angry and betrayed?" said housewife Yolanda Gonzalez, 47, who was taking part in the traffic-choking sit-in on the Paseo de la Reforma. "People are rebelling because they don't want more of the same."
"We think there are dark forces behind this, and the deals were made long before," she said. "It was as if the magistrates said, 'OK, we'll review this, so the people don't get mad, but we've already made up our minds.' "
Some Lopez Obrador aides said they were still banking on either a full recount or an annulment of the election.
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions," Manuel Camacho Solis, a senior Lopez Obrador aide, said on a national radio program Monday morning. "We should wait until the magistrates give their final ruling."
Two polls released over the weekend suggest that Lopez Obrador's actions have failed to convince most Mexicans that his cause is just.
One poll, a nationwide telephone survey by a company that worked for Lopez Obrador during the campaign, reported that 65 percent of respondents would, in the tribunal's place, either immediately ratify Calderon as president or do only a limited recount.
The other nationwide survey — by the Mexico City newspaper Reforma — reported that more than two-thirds of respondents both opposed the protests and supported the tribunal's decision for only a partial recount of ballots.
Nation still polarizedThe opinion surveys also suggest that Mexico remains as polarized as it was at the July election.
Lopez Obrador and Calderon, of the National Action Party, each won about 35 percent of that vote in a five-way presidential race.
While Monday's ruling seems to all but assure Calderon of the presidency, it will almost certainly fail to satisfy many of the 15 million Mexicans who voted for Lopez Obrador.
"It's not fair that they defraud an entire country," said Ruben Gonzalez, 17, a public high school senior doing his biology homework under a giant tarp at the sit-in. "The rich get richer and the poor stay the same or get poorer. It's not fair."
Chronicle special correspondent Marion Lloyd contributed to this report.

Millennials and Fundraising - Why Mobile Giving?
Millennials can perhaps best be described as enigmatic: we seek to have a real and tangible impact on the world, but we're lazy; we wear fancy clothes and Apple watches, but we're swimming in student loan debt and decrying rising health care premiums. We protest in force to support causes we deem just, but we're apathetic, and have never topped 22% of the electorate in a presidential election. It is within these conflicting ideas, however, that the truth about millennials becomes much more simple.
We're just picky!
We demand to be spoken to in the right way by the right people and for the right reasons in order to feel inspired. We want to donate what little money we have to the right causes and to feel as though we're making an impact, but that doesn't mean we want to put effort into doing so, or even get out of bed. We want to talk to people and make real connections, but from the safety of being behind a screen.
And yet, we represent a tremendous opportunity for your organization: to help grow your cause and donate time, treasure, and talent. With access to a digital community, text to give technology, weekly webinars and blog posts like this one, we have been able to cultivate an enormous amount of enthusiasm and engagement, from millennials as much as any other age group.
I've been floored by the level of passion I've seen evinced by members of my generation, once their walls are broken down. It's a simple matter of communication to motivate millennials and activate their full potential for your worthy mission-based work.
So, the question becomes:
- What is the right way to speak to millennials?
- How can you build a connection with someone you may never meet, the way millennials do every day?
- How can you inspire us to donate, without making us turn off Netflix or put down our phone?
The first matter sounds difficult to decode, but is in fact very simple to understand once you do. Millennials have more tattoos and more piercings than any previous generation. We have social media profiles filled to the brim with personal information, photos, memories of our favorite moments. Our taste in music varies as widely as our taste in clothes, facial hair, and microbrews.
In short: to this generation, self-expression is everything.
This is a generation raised in the age of the internet, where everything is being watched at all times by everyone, where your life is as good or bad as you can make it look.
This is a generation trying desperately to create our own identity in a world where we feel everyone is becoming increasingly similar. As a result, authenticity is highly prized, and the single most important thing when speaking with and marketing to millennials.
Speaking authentically can be difficult, but, bearing in mind that millennials want to have conversations, want to be engaged, and want to make a difference, it simply becomes a matter of messaging.
Firstly, abandon any notions you have of selling us on anything. We have no patience for a plastic sales pitch. We are not interested in data or numbers: we crave sincerity and passion.
We want to hear your story, and we want you to hear ours. Millennials are tired of being talked about as one big group (ironic, I know). We're tired of seeing newscasters finding one 20-something on the street to speak on behalf of all millennials. We're tired of older generations talking 'at' us, instead of speaking with us. Through our quest for self-determination, millennials are more attuned than most to the idea that "everyone has a story."
We recognize, as members of the most diverse generation ever, that everyone has a unique background, different life experiences, unique gifts, flaws, and struggles, and a story that's worth adding to the conversation. We do not want to be told to care, we simply want to hear your story, honestly and authentically, so that we can decide for ourselves that we care about your cause. Tell us who you are, what you've done, why your cause is important to you, what it's meant to you, and what you dream of seeing it accomplish.
Share your story! Then, ask us questions.
Ask us about what is important to us, why it's important to us, about what makes us want to get up and do something.
Ask us about our backgrounds, relate to us, understand that we all share the common goal of wanting to live in a better world, and know that we want to work together to achieve that goal.
Build a relationship with us on a basis of commonality, of understanding, and we will be more than happy to listen to anything you have to say. When speaking to millennials, your marketing strategy should be centered around relationship building first, and fundraising second.
If what I just wrote comes off as defensive, it is because I come from a generation that has been labeled as lazy, narcissistic, and entitled. We are told that we are uncaring and apathetic, while also being chastised for being too thin-skinned, too quick to anger. We have been reduced, in the eyes of those who came before us, to a stereotype of digital immaturity, while our individuality is ignored and our points of view invalidated.
The tips I've detailed above for talking to millennials are nothing more than ways to relate to someone on an individual basis. You may even think to yourself, "wow, talking to millennials sounds just like talking to anyone else." And therein lies the truth: we're all, simply, people. We are all unique, and we only want to be spoken to as if our individual perspective is valued and understood.
We are all in this together, as people, and we want to be spoken to as one human to another, without our voice being reduced to that of a millennial.
This desire to hear and tell stories is perhaps the reason millennials are so comfortable building relationships through a screen. To tell one's story is to reveal what makes someone who they are. To reveal that much about oneself is to be vulnerable, to open oneself up to criticism and rejection.
A position of vulnerability is scary for anyone, but millennials were afforded the opportunity to carefully craft our messages, to think and re-think our words before ever saying anything, to be vulnerable with each other while tucked safely away, out of sight. Through texting and social media, we have mastered the skill of learning about each other without ever having to speak in person, should we choose.
A good social media strategy can utilize this, to reach out and connect with millennials through written word, to build a real emotional connection while maintaining the pressure-free atmosphere of allowing the contact to respond at their leisure.
Leisure is an important word when approaching millennials.
Although earlier in this post I crusaded against the labelling of millennials as lazy, what I'm about to write may certainly come off that way. We were not raised in an era of mass protests, nor were we raised with the "bootstrap pull-up" mentality of our parents. Rather, we have been raised in an age where most action takes place digitally, where a protest is an angry facebook status and engagement is reading the headlines on Apple News. Our phones are surgically attached to our palms, and the best way to engage with us is to use that fact to your advantage: with mobile marketing and mobile fundraising.
If a millennial is replying to you on twitter or instagram, you already know that they are using their phone to do so. As such, mobile donations are the best way for millennials to engage and donate to your nonprofit. It's easy, it's fast, it capitalizes on a habit that millennials already have, and it requires no extra effort on the part of the donor than it does for them to reply to your message.
If you've already connected with a millennial on their level, and built a relationship with them by telling your story and listening to theirs, it is a simple thing to ask them to close instagram, open a message, and send a one word code to make a difference in the world.
If we believe in you, if you've made us feel any emotional connection at all, we will not hesitate to support your goals in order to, at least, make us feel good about ourselves, and at most, take an active role in the success of your cause.
We are not terribly complicated. If you are able to break through the facade of standard sales and into the realm of emotional expression, we will do everything we can to prop you up. Show us who you are, and we will prove to you what we're capable of.
If you're interested in learning how to use our next generation mobile technology to engage the next generation of donors, volunteers, and supporters, we're always here and happy to chat about strategic opportunities, fundraising ideas, and tips to help nonprofits grow.
Yours, most sincerely,
A Millennial
p.s. Throw in a few pop-culture references during your conversation and baby, you've got a stew going!

150 Years Ago Hendersonians Heard the Battle 100 Miles Away
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Henderson native Admiral Husband Kimmel was commander of the Pacific Fleet on December 7, 1941
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Celebrate Roy Rogers' 100th Birthday with the Depot Community Room's "Happy Trails: A 1950's Cowboy Christmas"
Do you remember waiting eagerly every Saturday for the" Roy Rogers Show"? Were you unable to sleep on Christmas Eve, hoping Santa would bring you the cap gun and holster on your wish list? Then the Community Room's new exhibit "Happy Trails: a 1950's Cowboy Christmas" will take you on a trip down memory lane!
Now through the end of December, the Community Room will have on display items that would have been on the wish list of any girl and boy in 1950s Henderson. The display focuses specifically on the height of the singing Cowboy craze, when every little boy wanted his own six-shooter and every girl wanted an outfit just like Dale Evans.
View the Cowboy Christmas tree as you listen to Gene Autry sing your favorite Christmas songs. We will also air radio shows and the popular television series starring Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
The Community Room is located inside the Depot on the Henderson, Ky., riverfront and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. The Community Room is funded by the City of Henderson through the Henderson Tourist Commission.

Discover the Hidden Stories of Henderson at our "Spooks and Legends of Old Henderson" Walking Tour Oct. 22
On the Community Room's "Spooks and Legends of Old Henderson Walking Tour" you'll learn more!
The Depot Community Room's mission is to preserve and promote Henderson's history, and this tour highlights the more nefarious side of Henderson's history -- pointing out the sites of historic executions, murders and deaths. The tour also explores the folklore of Old Henderson. These stories of hauntings and unusual events, though they may not be entirely accurate -- have become a part of Henderson's culture merely through their retelling from one generation to the next.
The Spooks and Legends Tour is unlike any other historical tour of the city, and you can only be a part of it once a year! This year the event is on Saturday, October 22. Tours will leave from the Depot at 101 N. Water St. every half hour starting at 2 p.m. and ending at 5 p.m.

Sounds like a job for a perl script... * add misc/version.c and related machinery once the pattern is laid out in APR. --> APR has completed the model, but still needs some work for passing this information to libtool for versioning the shared libs. we can (at least) start with the header and implementation code. * complete the efforts started by DougM for cleaner fn naming conventions: see proposed name changes in renames_pending and offer up any additions/vetos/clarifications. DougM offered to complete the work with his nifty perl rename script at the hackathon. * move md5 from APR into crypto Will Rowe outlined this move in: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Justin says: Requires finding a suitable replacement for md5 in apr/uuid for when we don't have random bytes available. Greg says: showstopper because of the move of functions from one lib to another Status: Justin +1, Greg +1 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP: * Solaris's Sun Freeware (sfw) package has a busted gcc/ld setup. This gcc passes -L/opt/sfw/lib to /usr/ccs/bin/ld, but does not pass -R. Therefore, when trying to run the code using a library from /opt/sfw/lib (say, libdb), the run-time linker will not look in /opt/sfw/lib and the program will die. Status: Workaround is to add "-R/opt/sfw/lib" to LDFLAGS. Should check latest sfw package set and see if Sun may have fixed this. Other bugs that need fixing: Other features that need writing: * possibly move test/testdbm* to util/dbu Justin says: Do we still want to do this? testdate is now in test. Status: Greg +1 (volunteers) Documentation that needs writing: * API documentation Status: * doc the lifetimes of apr_dbm return values Available Patches: Open Issues:

Conflicting visions already emerging over Pearson Centre redevelopment
The proposed redevelopment of the George Pearson Centre lands on Cambie, just now at the beginning of the consultation and design process, is already encountering criticism, both from the NDP Opposition and many advocates for people with disabilities.
Activists like the redoubtable Paul Caune, interim chair of the city's Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities, is one of those who believes Pearson should be closed, not replaced, in the course of redevelopment. Caune makes a forceful case that Pearson residents should be provided community-based care, not institutional care.
Now NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston is challenging the financial model proposed for the development. The sale of some or all of Pearson's lands is counted in the asset sales required to balance the current budget. Wrong way, says Ralston, who may have more to say on the matter if he becomes finance minister.
Ralston is proposing development partnerships to ensure future revenues flow back to the province and to health care.
Neither health care delivery models or provincial budgetting are managed by the city's land use processes, but both will clearly be at play in the ultimate outcome on this vital site along the Canada Line.

|Ubuntu 13.04
Ubuntu 13.04 was promised to come in April 2013 with new improvement in design, speed and functionality.The main design for Ubuntu 13.04 will be again Unity but with some improvements like new Window snap animation, new Unity preview animation, new Shutdown dialog, Per-App account Toggles, new sync menu, Work space item, new Lenses, Window switching methods etc etc.
OMG! Ubuntu has made a great video to show a preview to some of main Ubuntu 13.04 features.
Ubuntu 13.04 comes with a set of improved design of their icons and a much faster speed than his predecessors. Let's wait for the new release today.....
It's already available. I am going to give a try and install it. Unfortunately it doesn't support an installation from WUBI because Microsoft has made it hard for them. I am going to check if there are any instruction regarding another wubi-like alternative.
Featured updates highlighted by Canonical is the fact that Unity search has better maintain for typos and common mistakes, and that packages such as Libre Office and Python have been updated. While the Unity search update is quite kind, and seems to be very elegant, its hardly a redefining feature. At the very least, it also makes its way into the HUD, however integration of online search results from Canonical partners is yet as obtrusive as before.
Ubuntu 13.04 is a disappointing update with few changes, and few that repair any of the issues people have been having with Unity. Ther is little experimentation, and the supposed speed upgrades are not as major as Canonical would want you to believe. By all means, upgrade, but dont expect the friendly of hop you normally profit.

To the editor:
As directed by the Congress of the United States in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the U.S. Department of Energy has submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a license to build a deep-underground repository on federal land at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The application documents more than 20 years of scientific analyses and engineering, and demonstrates that the nation's inventory of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste can be disposed of safely and isolated from the environment.
The license application reflects a massive science and technology effort encompassing the work of thousands of Nevadans representing numerous national laboratories, internationally renowned science and engineering firms, universities and the Department of Energy. More than $6 billion has been spent to date, a significant portion of which has been spent in Nevada.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which is entirely independent of the Department of Energy, will now begin a preliminary review to decide whether to accept the application. If they find it sufficiently complete, they will begin a detailed and rigorous review of the application. This review will take several years and will include public hearings in Nevada that will allow public participation.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will grant a license to build the repository only if it concludes that the repository will protect the health and safety of the public now and into the far future.
As Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said on the day the license application was filed, we at the Department of Energy know that some of you have deeply felt concerns about the Yucca Mountain facility. We do not seek to dismiss or minimize them. On the contrary, issues of health, safety and security have been of paramount importance during the design process. They will continue to be of paramount importance to us as we go forward.
The Yucca Mountain repository program has been one of the most open government projects in history. Information about the repository and its design can be found at www.ocrwm.doe.gov. The license application itself as well as all of the documents that have been developed to support the application can be found at www.lsnnet.gov.
We encourage you to read this information for a better understanding of how the repository will work both to protect people and the environment as well as to solve our nation's nuclear waste problem.

LONDON -- The FTSE 100 (FTSEINDICES:^FTSE) entered its third losing session in a row today, down 0.5% to 6,312 points as of 10:55 a.m. EDT. Share prices for miners bounced back a little after recent falls, but the big U.K. banks are having a hard time of it today. At the moment, it's hard to see the index regaining its five-year high of 6,534, set on March 12, anytime soon.
But there are individual shares doing worse. Here are three that are falling behind their various indexes today.
EMED Mining (LSE:ATYM)
EMED Mining shares have slipped 2% to 10.2 pence despite the firm's announcement that the public comment period for its Rio Tinto Copper tailings project has been closed by the Andalusian government. Apparently, the consultation raised only one negative comment, which the company says "raised nothing of a material nature that had not already been taken into account." EMED now sounds pretty upbeat about its project to extract copper, silver, and gold from waste materials.
Michael Page
A first-quarter update from Michael Page International sent the firm's shares down 4.9% to 378 pence this morning after the recruitment specialist revealed a 6.7% year-on-year fall in gross profit. Though some regions performed well, chief executive Steve Ingham told us, "our businesses in France and Germany, where we operate predominantly in permanent recruitment, experienced another challenging quarter, down 17% and 27% respectively."
Going forward, the firm is targeting growth in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and North America.
M.P. Evans (LSE:MPE)
Final results from M.P. Evans Group resulted in a share price tumble of 2.4% to 498 pence. The firm, a major producer of Indonesian palm oil with an interest in Australian beef, saw profit almost halved to $21.55 million from $39.7 million a year previously.
Although earnings per share plummeted by a similar proportion to approximately 21 pence, the full-year dividend was maintained at 8 pence per share (with 2.25 pence having already been paid at the interim stage).
Reliable dividends can more than compensate for the day-to-day ups and downs of share prices. So how about a company that's offering a 5.7% yield and could be set for some nice share-price appreciation, too?
