Who are Tenbury Futures?
On their website they describe themselves "A Proactive Alliance of Concerned Local Residents and Businesses" and whilst they remain an "organisation" with no identifiable format or leadership, they seem to have decided to take the position of Town Council, Chamber of Trade and Civic Society to name just three local organisations.
Or is it they disagree with the democratically elected organisations so decided they would just ignore them and create sufficient confusion to get their opposing voice heard.
They claim that the "majority" this and the "majority" that, but if you look closely at the figures you will see that in fact what they really mean is the "majority" of the tiny minority who expressed an opinion or answered a closed question.
In their latest questionnaire they have replies from 32 shops, (out of nearly 100) so were the other shops not interested, did they have opinions that didn't meet the criteria, or did they feel that Tenbury Futures didn't have a mandate to be asking the questions, or did the questionnaires only go to the traders who they thought would give the right answers?
The Town Council and other duly elected representatives have been working and lobbying for many years to get the bridge repaired, and yes the closure will be a major inconvenience, but nothing compared to perhaps losing the bridge altogether in the next flood. If that happened, who would people look to for a solution? Tenbury Futures or the various Council officials.
I reported back in April that the bridge would have to close for repairs. Why is it only now six months later that there is a call to postpone the work? If the traders were so unhappy with the plan, why did so few attend the Chamber of Trade AGM, or at least have the subject raised as an agenda item. Is it perhaps that the chances of the Tesco application being approved is very high, and this is seen by Tenbury Futures (aka the TesNo group) as a way to also postpone the planning decision.
I think many of the ideas presented by Tenbury Futures have merit, but we live in a democracy with systems and procedures, so it's far better to join the establishment and try to change it from the inside than to keep floating ill conceived ideas in the press. Perhaps, these proactive residents can join some of the existing Tenbury organisations and invigorate them with energy and new ideas.

The survey published in the TVT shows a clear majority of the town centre shopkeepers had no say at all in the impending Teme Bridge closure for months. They were only asked about deliveries -after- the decision to close the bridge had been imposed on them by WCC - a fait accompli.
Many are worried that Teme St will turn into an inaccessible cul-de-sac during the period of any bridge closure. Surely all options should be explored before committing embattled local storekeepers to months of quiet trading - especially so in today's financial climate.

They do like charging in on their white steed of justice for the poor townsfolk don't they?
They ask the tough questions no one else is prepared to ask, just always a little too late in the day,
And I note they ask questions about the bridge closure on their blog which were asked of them with regards to their bridge ideas, questions which they themselves appeared not to answer !!!!
That said closing the bridge when it is being closed is a bad idea IMHO, would be much better to get the work done September / October time.
Sure closing it at any time will impact the shops and is a bad thing, but why close it in the dead of winter, bad weather, short days, high river, bloody terrible roads all other ways out of town, we're DOOMED, doomed I tell ya.

I guess an Autumn closure would have adversely effected the harvest traffic. Lots of farm traffic especially potato trailers seem to use the bridge. Then there is Applefest, then Christmas shopping.

"Tenbury Futures are Mindless Morons who are only thinking about themselves not the town.."
1. Trying to facilitate the building of a new and improved Teme bridge that would help ensure the future vitality of the town - is that mindless and self-centred?
2. Trying to put forward ideas of improving Tenbury's tourism draw by sensitively and sustainably developing the CM site - is that mindless and self-centred?
3. Trying to help shout louder about local shopkeepers' existing concerns about loss of trade via bridge closure - is that mindless and self-centred?

So by WR15's own admission Tesco ignore concerns of even the local "Friendlies"...
it may have been over looked by those wearing "Tesco-tinted spectacles" that your views mean diddly squat to this organisation - if allowed they will do whatever they want, using the full range of tactics...
I must admit i had to re-read the advertiser's opening paragraph a couple of times....it did at first appear that the "Deal had been done"....once i had re read para 1 and the subsequent paragraph it was claer that we can put it down to just poor journalism...something we should be used to by now from this rag....
It does seem that a significant portion of the Public Realm works are dependant on the monies of whomever develops the CM....
I personally believe that whatever "cunning plan WCC decided on" March/ April is a better time to do the bridge works, even the "WCC experts" must know that using paint and cementous products in sub or near zero temperatures is a non starter...

Tenbury futures are the only people proactively fighting the menace of Tesco,@WR15 sounds increasingly like a trojan horse for the vile, retail behemoth. Can it be true, as I have worked it out, that the WR15 postcode is the last one in the country not to have a Tesco in it (formerly Harrogate who have just sucummbed to Tesco disease)All power and influence to Tenbury Futures who are putting the supine Town Council to shame by their intelligent and imaginative
approach to the whole question of what to do with the Cattle Market site. If Tesco comes to town, Tenbury is finished and an exquisite jewel of old England will be gone. We will not see the loss until it is too late.

If Tenbury is so well served with Bowketts, Spar etc and we don't need a Tesco, why will it cause gridlock as no one will use it, because after all Tenbury is so well served with Bowketts, Spar etc.
So we don't need it, & don't want it but if it's there so many people will use it then it will need a big car park....

Large site, hard standing, on site building with toilet facilities, outbuildings, covered areas in need of a new owner.
A new owner who won't threaten to take trade from shops, a new owner who won't generate to much extra traffic, a new owner who could maybe raise the profile of the town.

In light of recent comments regarding the proposed Tesco store what, if any, consideration has been given to how Tesco's could potentially improve the vast majority of businesses in Tenbury? How many actual shops will be negatively affected? Yes the likes of
Spa and Bowketts will see a reduction in sales, however this equates to only 2/3% of the overall businesses in Tenbury. With a potential increased footfall ALL other businesses should see a positive improvement. Will more people visiting Tenbury improve overall business?? The answer is very clear. To succeed in business you need customers and the more opportunities you have the more likely you are to succeed. Has the proposed Tesco store contributed to the closure of Gwythers ?

The Tesco Effect
"...how Tesco's could potentially improve the vast majority of businesses in Tenbury?"
Oh come on, wake up and smell the coffee anonymous.. Tesco want to parachute in a huge [by town standards] A1 superstore.. It'll not only aim to aggressively undercut the town's remaining food shops but also many others including: pet care, hardware, bookshops, newsagents, toys, medicines etc.
Tesco are certainly not looking here so that they can philanthropically give a helping hand the other shops and businesses in the town LOL! Once here they'll soon have town trade sewn up at that end of town. The store will become a one-stop-shop with few punters brave enough to leave their groceries in cars to go off into town to further spend and browse. Add to that they are unlikely to stop at local pubs with cars full of groceries either [thought I'd throw that one in too].
The Chamber of Trade know this and many of it's shopkeeper members clearly fear the aggressive discounting, undercutting and targetting that Tesco are will instigate [and indeed are recorded as doing so in other places such as LLandrindod Wells].
WR15 most likely won't bother to post this though as [despite it being a relevant reply to a previous comment in this thread] it could also be seen as undermining his Tesco bessie mates.

Of course everyone is welcome to their view.
I have visited a number of small Tesco's (about same size as the one proposed) and yes they sell books, the top 50 paperbacks (hardly the sort of thing that people buy from the local book store) yes they sell saucepans & cookware. The shelf was nearly 3ft long.
So it's OK for Spar, Bowketts & one of the Pet Shops to sell newspapers in competition with the newsagents, why not Tesco?
Medicines; Rowlands are a national chain, owned by a German company. (last time I checked) The sort of over the counter medicines Tesco's sell, so do Bowketts. Many local people have their prescribed medicines delivered by the Cleobury Chemist, why?
If Tenbury Futures want to put up posters saying it's a Massive A1 Superstore, then so be it, but by Tesco standards it's a small store and if the lines carried at their other small stores are anything to go by, then this is just more scaremongering.
Why you keep comparing with Llandrindod I don't understand. I visited the town, the Tesco isn't in the Town Centre. The Co-Op is. There is also an Aldi. The size of the town (with it's large council offices) is more like Malvern than Tenbury. All the high street shops appeared to be in use not vacant.
My only direct comparison with before and after don't involve Tesco, but in three Towns near where I have lived or worked I have seen a Major Supermarket arrive, and years later each of those towns in thriving, with little or no vacant shops.
I will say again, this is a planning permission which will be passed if it's valid and turned down if its not.
Tesco aren't my mates, but I feel obliged to keep defending them against so many ridiculous allegations.

WR15 said "by Tesco standards it's a small store".
But that's not true! By Tesco standards it's actually a large store - and here are the facts to back this up:
Small Tescos are called "One Stop". There are about 600 of these with an average floor area of about 1,500 sq ft - smaller than Tenbury SPAR.
The next size up is called "Tesco Express". This is the commonest type of Tesco, there are about 1,300, with have an average floor area of about 2,200 sq ft - similar to Tenbury SPAR.
Medium Tescos are called "Tesco Metro". There are about 200 of these with an average floor area of around 11,000 sq ft - something like the size of Bowketts and Tenbury SPAR combined.
Large Tescos are called "Superstores" and there are only about 470 of these. This is the category Tenbury Tesco falls into.
There is also an extra-large category, called "Tesco Extra" but these are relatively rare - only about 200 in the UK.
Tesco have about 2,700 stores in the UK. About 600 are bigger than what is planned for Tenbury, the other 2,100 are smaller.
Clearly Tenbury's would be a LARGE Tesco.
This is not an allegation - it is a fact.
- 15 September 2011 at 13:15
- @WR15 said...
You are correct. 75% of Tesco stores account for 20% of their floor space whilst 25% account for 80%
- 15 September 2011 at 17:19
- @WR15 said...
Yes I still think the store is too large for the site, although I think the design is much improved. I still have some reservations about some minor aspects of the plans.
However, being realistic and with my (limited) understanding of the planning system, I think the balance has tipped in favour of approval. MHDC could still (& might still) refuse, but I think (& once again this is my opinion and I'm no expert) Tesco's are now very likely to win on appeal. This would give MHDC much less opportunity for negotiation and no S106 improvement money.

WR15 I have been looking at the comments you get on your posts. If you set aside the Tesco related ones there are hardly any. Does the mean when the Tesco issue is resolved, which it will be eventually, you will find something else to blog about as no one will bother with this site. Perhaps one that you can openly show your views. What about 'I love Tesco and sold Tenbury down the river (Teme) by presenting a biased view of peoples opinions'. It not so catchy but you would have to admit pretty accurate.

In the last 5 years there have been over 500 posts on the blog so relatively few about Tesco.
Only time will tell who is right about the Future of Tenbury.
My views might differ from yours but more people seem to agree with me than some would have you believe.

Slightly delayed reply..
Then why would a Llandod shopkeeper say the following in a letter to Tenbury Futures last Christmas? A letterheaded copy of this letter was sent to MHDC at the time.
"In the first 3 months they [Tesco] have devastated the local high street to the tune of a 35% to 64% downturn... They are actively targetting the local Boots store [35% to 40% down] and the local Co-Op [formerly Somerfield 65% down]. Most other retail businesses are experiencing between 15% and 30% decline... some 4 months after Tesco opening. The biggest problem has been the reduction in footfall, people are using Tesco as a one-stop shop and not walking or even driving into the old town centre..."
Llandod's a bigger market town but it's clear that the only thing that Tesco have brought them is massively reduced highstreet trade. The shopkeeper adds that the thing that really sticks in his throat is that no-one objected to Tesco in Llandod - they all thought it would benefit the town.. Here's evidence then of Tesco's aggressive targeting of other local businesses, of Tesco creating a 'one stop shop' scenario and customers not wanting to walk [or drive] into the town's centre.
Funny though - it was also my own experience of a town in the East Midlands too where Tesco and Asda managed to neatly close down their high street..

Thanks for the update on Llandrindod, but as I have previously said the Tesco there is not in the town. Also it's a bigger store than is planned for Tenbury, so will carry a far higher range of "comparison lines" If the traders (exc Boots & Coop) have only experienced 15 - 30% downturn in the 2009-10 trading period they are doing very well. Most high streets have seen a 40-60% down turn in the same period due to the economic climate. Of course "I'm biased" but I like to balance out the facts.

Therefore you are trying and succeeding in presenting a false picture to the people who read this blog.

Tenbury is a mess. The parking is rubbish, the drains stink, there's no cafes for visitors to have a coffee and a cake at 5pm, there are no real visitor attractions, there aren't enough shops, there aren't enough buses, the buses don't go to the business park, the swimming pool is expensive, the cinema is shut, the school doesn't take you through to age 18,..... the list goes on.
So what is the council doing?
They are closing the bridge and spending half a million pounds on digging up the footpaths and changing the street lights!

The future of native apps, those created for a particular platform, is becoming more and more questionable as publishers start to realize the benefits of HTML5 to their bottom line and to the consumers' user experience in terms of being able to access their content on any device.
To accommodate the iOS and Android platforms, publishers must develop and maintain multiple apps. Developing apps for both platforms isn't as easy as making a few tweaks to one to develop the other—in most cases it involves starting from scratch, requiring double the development time. This also means development costs often will be double, and there are updates and other maintenance costs to consider as well; each update will require version releases for each app. But since HTML5 is browser-based, one HTML5 app will accommodate any device with a modern browser, be it a PC or Mac desktop, an iPad, or a Kindle Fire.
In native apps, costs can even be compounded within the same platform—having to make one app for the iPhone and another for the iPad, for instance, to accommodate different screen sizes. This isn't an issue in HTML5, as responsive design techniques allow for a product—say, a novel, a magazine, a comic book—to transition between screen sizes without degrading the consumer experience.
There are middleman fees to contend with in native apps as well—publishers don't need to fork over 30% of a sale to Apple from an HTML5 platform. And there's a lot more than single book sales for publishers to consider. Jason Pontin, editor-in-chief and publisher of MIT's Technology Review, recently wrote about moving Technology Review away from native apps to HTML5, noting that Apple took 30% of subscription sales in addition to single copy sales, through the iOS app. As the digital disruption proceeds and the e-book landscape continues to morph into whatever it will become—which could include streaming book subscriptions, or something similar—it's important for publishers to keep an eye on the long view and how that third-party cut could end up cutting too deep.
Pontin also addresses the closed-off nature of native apps and says it's a real detriment to the user experience and engagement with content: "When people read news and features on electronic media, they expect stories to possess the linky-ness of the Web, but stories in apps didn't really link. The apps were, in the jargon of information technology, 'walled gardens,' and although sometimes beautiful, they were small, stifling gardens. For readers, none of that beauty overcame the weirdness and frustration of reading digital media closed off from other digital media."
This might seem like a no-brainer for news content, but as interactivity and active engagement become more important in e-book design, the "stifling garden" becomes an important consideration for book publishers, too. A recent study by Latitude, a research company, investigated how audiences want to experience stories in our new age of technology. The results were summarized into "4 I's": immersion, interactivity, integration, and impact, all of which require an open, connected content environment.
HTML5 could also bring new revenue advantages to publishers. Roger McNamee, founding partner of Elevation Partners, the equity firm specializing in technology companies, argues in a recent blog post that HTML5 is the future of content, and at one point he addresses revenue potential: "The beauty of these new [HTML5] 'app' models is that each can [be] monetized, in most cases at rates better than the current web standard. Imagine you are reading David Pogue's technology product review column in the New York Times. Today, the advertising on that page is pretty random. In HTML5, it will be possible for ads to search the page they are on for relevant content. This would allow the Times to auction the ad space to companies that sell consumer electronics, whose ads could then look at the page, identify the products and then offer them in the ad."
McNamee is talking about newspaper and magazine ads, but given Microsoft's recent patent activity and Amazon's modus operandi, I don't think it will be long before we see ads in e-books, and publishers are going to need to get in on this revenue play.

Too often women's history is a history of work: we forget the role of leisure time activities. Whether it be a more typically Alaskan type of play such as sled dog racing, or if it's something as common as a dance, taking time to play has always been an important part of daily life for Alaskan women.

Topsham is a small town located on the outskirts of Exeter and is steeped in history dating back as far as Roman times.
It is no longer a working port, its river traffic now almost exclusively leisure craft. There are endless relics of its wealthy past, not least the Dutch gables on the front of many properties, indicating the importance that this area once played in international trading.
The slipway on Ferry Road is a favourite for feeding the ducks or just watching the tide glide slowly in and out.

This article covers, the following:
Introduction - You're angry and rightly so!
Messenger Spam - How did the Messenger spam find me?
Messenger Spam - How does Messenger spam work?
Messenger Spam - How do I block those annoying webpopup advertisements?
Your Computer - I made the suggested changes, now what?
Your Computer - Undoing changes you made to your computer system.
More Information - A few webpages with more information regarding the above.
You're angry! So much so, that
you decided to search out a solution to stop those annoying webpopup advertisements
(you don't need a university diploma anyway). You have a right to be angry! Rest assured, you're
not alone. You join the millions who have also been victimized by this
form of spam advertisements. Below, we will show you how to stop these webpopups forever.
It's simple, and if you're technology savvy you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to
stop these webpopups advertisements. For the purposes of this article, we have dubbed this
new form of spam the "WEBPOPUP" after the individual(s) who use that particular user name to
spam millions of unsuspecting internet users. However, it makes no difference if you are accessing the
world wide web or just idling online, you're still vulnerable to the webpopup advertisements.
Some have also dubbed this "Messenger Spam." By any name, they're pure evil and annoying.
First, you should learn how the spammers were able
to get past your firewall and system settings in order to prevent it in the future. Just when
you thought your computer system was bullet proof, along comes a webpopup advertisement. This
new form of spamming IS NOT a pop-up ad of the kind we are all used to. Pop-up ads of old used
your internet browser to open a second window to either pop-over or pop-under your current
open internet browser window. These new webpopup advertisements come not in your internet
browser's window, but rather through your computer system's messaging system.
Even more frightening than being bothered by
webpopup spam, is the fact that unscrupulous individuals can develop viruses and worms
that might incorporate this process in an attempt to manipulate it and maliciously
cause damage to your computer.
How did the Messenger spam find me? In order to send the webpopup ad to you,
the spammers had to find your computer. How did they do this? Easy. Each time you log onto the
internet, whether by dial-up, DSL, or corporate network, you are assigned a unique
IP address
upon connection. This IP address consists of four banks of numbers each from 0 to 255 separated by
periods, e.g. 188.8.131.52. A spammer can conduct a search between the numbers in order to send its
webpopup ad. For example, they can search for all active computers between the IP addresses of
22.214.171.124 and 184.108.40.206. For each active computer it finds between those addresses,
they stop, get your computer's name by a process called a NetBIOS request (usually through the open port of 139), and
once obtained they invoke a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) on your computer which graciously activates the webpopup
advertisement and interupts whatever you are doing. Spammers can target individual companies, ISP's, and even
countries for their webpopup advertisements. One certain company (name and URL excluded for obvious
reasons) has been selling software (which retails for $699.99) to simplify this method of "search and spam."
This software is said to be capable of sending, at a minimum, 5,000 pieces of spam per
hour (that's over one webpopup ad per second). Copycat and bootleg software is said to increase that
twenty-fold and is capable of sending over 130,000 webpopup advertisements per hour (over 35 per second).
What these clever bits of webpopup software do is unique, normally it would locate your computer (NetBIOS)
through the open port of 139. Once this is determined, the software routes the spam message to your
computer's port 135 for delivery via a Remote Procedure Call (RPC). However, if the user has their NetBIOS turned
off (port 139 blocked), the software simply reroutes or defaults to port 135 to deliver its payload of spam. You're
damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't ... either way you're getting spammed.
Certain instances of this process of webpopup "search and spam" has been deemed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
to be an "unfair and deceptive practice" in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 45(a). One such complaint filed by
the FTC can be found below.
How does the Messenger spam work?
This new form of webpopup spam uses a feature of your computer's
own Windows Operating System that was originally intended to let network administrators
send messages to its users in order to notify them of certain critical events, i.e. a
system shutdown or routine maintenance or backup. This in turn would allow
the network's users to save whatever data or work that they may have in progress before the system
shuts down. Using this same feature, the spammer can send a command to your computer to call the
process "services.exe" which in turn may call a subroutine by the likes of "csrss.exe" which is the
program on your computer that makes the advertisment pop-up (see sample pop-up ad above). By
doing the following on your computer, you can send yourself a pop-up advertisement:
1. Enter MS DOS mode on your computer (also called the "Command Prompt")
2. Type the following (enter only the portions in black and red):
Microsoft Windows [Version ------]
(C) Copyright 1985-2002 Microsoft Corp.
You can find your computer's name by clicking:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Network Identification
You may also substitute the IP Address of 127.0.0.1 in place of the computer's name to get the same effect.
Here's a sample input via the NET SEND command (message must be in quotes, see example) :
For more information on NET SEND and the
Messenger service from Microsoft, click here.
How do I stop those annoying webpopup advertisements? Now that you know how
they work, we'll show you how to stop those annoying webpopup advertisements once and for all.
Windows, by default, leaves the messaging system active upon installation. Once deactivated,
however, the webpopups can no longer invade your system or your privacy. Follow the directions
found in either 1 through 3 below to deactivate the Windows messaging system on your computer (do not delete the
"services.exe" or "csrss.exe" files, as these are used for other processes on your computer). As
an alternate solution, follow the directions in 4 below to adjust your firewall settings to block the webpopups.
Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
Click Performance and Maintenance (if it exists, else skip to 3).
Click Administrative Tools.
Double click Services.
Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" (a single click).
Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual under the "Startup Type" menu selection (we recommend the manual setting).
Click OK.
No need to reboot - You are now blocking messenger spam advertisements!
Windows NT/2000 (Server and Professional editions):
Click Start -> Setings -> Control Panel -> Admin. Tools -> Services
Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" (a single click).
Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual under the "Startup Type" menu selection (we recommend the manual setting).
Click OK.
No need to reboot - You are now blocking messenger spam advertisements!
Remove or disable the file and printer sharing from your network configuration.
A reboot may be required for changes to take effect depending on your version of Windows.
Firewall Setting (same effect as 1-3 above):
Windows XP (built-in firewall software):
Windows XP users
click here to learn how to set your built in firewall to block UDP and TCP ports 135, 137-139, and 445. A short video
is included to help guide you through the process if needed.
I made the suggested changes, how do I know if I'm blocking those annoying
webpopup advertisements? You can run the NET SEND command from the DOS prompt (see
above for details on how to do this). If no webpopup appears and you receive the message at the DOS prompt that says, "The message alias
could not be found on the network", you are blocking the webpopup ads!
Undoing changes to your computer system. If for some reason the suggested changes prevent
your computer from performing certain tasks, you can reactivate the "Messenger" by retracing the
steps above to reverse your changes. Unless you are operating on a network, you shouldn't experience any problems. People
on networks may want to use the suggested firewall settings to prevent the webpopup advertisements.

Drugstore chain Walgreen Co. is on a mission to revamp its digital infrastructure so that it can centrally manage and easily share data among all its selling channels, including web sites, mobile sites and apps. and in-store point-of-sale systems, says Jason Fei, director of architecture, e-commerce. That will allow Walgreen to better serve its customers, whether they are among the 1.7 million per day who visit one of its web sites (50% of whom arrive via a mobile device), the 6 million who walk into a Walgreens retail store each day or the one per second who refill medicine by scanning their prescriptions' bar codes with their smartphones, Fei says.
"Because we have so many doors into our properties, we don't get 10 times more money to support each division," he told attendees at Oracle Corp.'s Oracle Retail CrossTalk conference in Chicago this week. "We need a one-commerce-anywhere platform," he said, that is, one platform that will allow Walgreen to build a feature once and push it out to any digital channel, be it a mobile app, a web site or an in-store digital sign.
Oracle's ATG Web Commerce platform has that capability, Fei says, and the retailer is working to use it as the base for all of its digital applications. That would represent a shift from the situation today, he says, as Walgreen now uses three separate groups of technology applications—each with a separate development team, business leadership and base of software code. That's because the retailer has been acquiring competitors, such as web-only retailer Drugstore.com, each with its own e-commerce technologies. The retailer isn't done making acquisitions—even now, it's in the process of buying a European company that is running on IBM's WebSphere Commerce platform, he says.
Walgreen is No. 36 in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
A centrally managed platform on Oracle ATG will be able to push individual software modules, such as ones for customer reviews, fraud management or payment processing, out to any digital channel, Fei says. That would free Walgreen's developers from having to rebuild each feature for every new digital site or app it creates.
Walgreen will have to overhaul its own home-grown technology infrastructure, too, in order to achieve build-once, deploy-anywhere capabilities, Fei says. For 15 years, the retail chain has taken a "web-centric" approach to e-commerce, he says, wherein "everything other than browsers are afterthoughts." That includes features of any mobile web sites, apps or web-connected store systems like a sales register that pulls in customer loyalty data. Until recently Walgreens built them all as ad hoc extensions after Walgreen had first designed a web site version, he says.
The core of Walgreen's strategy is to use digital channels to drive customers into stores, Fei says. Walgreen has 10 mobile apps and mobile sites, he says, in addition to many e-commerce sites, including Walgreens.com, DuaneReade.com, Drugstore.com and Beauty.com. 35% of customers that use the Walgreen mobile app use it while they're in stores to check the status of prescription orders, read about products and reviews, browse the store's inventory or look up where a product is on the shelf, he says. "Every time we build a project now, it must be mobile-first," he says.
All of Walgreen's web sites must be built with responsive web design techniques to accommodate that need, too, Fei says. Responsive design allows a web site to detect the screen size of the device a consumer is using to browse. Then the site automatically adjusts the display to load and arrange content on each web page appropriately, for instance, arranging products in a vertical list on a smartphone but in a horizontal array on a laptop. Ultimately, a module-based, unified digital platform will allow Walgreen to build features that trump other retailers on convenience and usability, Fei says. "We're not just in this to compete, we're in this to win," he says.

In so many ways, the Town of Hempstead has set an example of how government ought to operate. It has earned deserved acclaim for its record on the environment, its effectiveness in providing services like snow plowing and sanitation, and its ability to keep town taxes as low as possible while other levels of government too often look to property owners for more funds instead of managing their budgets better.
No one thinks the town is perfect, and we have criticized some of its actions in the past.
But now it has a great opportunity to show how redistricting ought to be done, like it has shown the way on so many other government functions.
Every 10 years, when the federal government conducts the census, the data reveal shifts in population from one area to another. This happens locally, with increases and decreases in population in congressional, State Assembly, State Senate, county legislative and town council districts. Voting district boundaries must be redrawn to reflect these changes and to make sure that each district has roughly the same number of people. The remapping must also assure that communities aren't unnecessarily split and that minorities have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice.
The Republican majority in the County Legislature has been excoriated by nonpartisan good-government groups, such as the League of Women Voters, as well as by the Herald's editorial board, for its blatantly political manipulation of the redistricting process. The GOP's gerrymandering scheme of party-boosting remapping splits several communities and effectively disenfranchises many voters.
The town will hold a hearing on its new map, yet to be released, on March 19. Troublingly, town Republicans hired the same remapping consulting firm that the county Republicans did. Before it's too late, the Republicans who rule the town must resist the urge to take maximum political advantage, and should instead listen carefully to the League of Women Voters and the rest of the good-governing coalition that tried in vain to save the county's process from becoming a sham. The GOP should include the coalition's concepts and input when developing the town's new districts. It should demonstrate nonpartisanship.
This is another opportunity for the town to shine. It can show how elected leaders who are serious about earning reputations as effective public servants can remap their districts in a fair, voter-equality-oriented way, without regard to party preservation and incumbent protection. We urge town Republicans to seize this chance to show others how redistricting is properly done.

Let's start with Dez Bryant. He is obviously the biggest lightning rod for criticism these days after the alleged incident with his mother. Jerry Jones claims that if Dez doesn't clean up his act then the Cowboys will cut the cord with him. I hope he gave that same message to Dez when he met with him face to face about the incident that took place a few weeks ago. Dez has a tough family background. While that might be sad, it is time for Dez to man up and take responsibility for his actions. This is the first time the police have actually arrested Dez but there seems to be a pattern of behavior that indicates that he has trouble controlling his temper. It is as simple as this...do you like making millions of dollars to play a game? Then grow up, be a man, and act like a professional! Dez's background doesn't excuse his behavior, it only explains it. It is up to Dez to change himself.
Jerry Jones caused a bit of a ruckus by trying to whip a crowd of Cowboys fans into a frenzy at a rally. He said the Cowboys are going to kick the Giant's asses. And? I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Just look at the situation where this took place. End of story. Too bad ESPN and the NFL Network need to misconstrue Jerry's comments for ratings. I hope the real fans can see through the typical media BS here.
The early rash of injuries on the offensive line in training camp are concerning. The Cowboys went out of their way to solidify the interior of the line this offseason. Unfortunately, Mackenzy Bernadeau injured his hip this offseason and needed surgery, Bill Nagy sprained his MCL on Monday, and Kevin Kowalski hurt his ankle this offseason and is still recovering. I would like to see Phil Costa get pushed to improve during camp with some competition. It doesn't look like that will happen. And I had high hopes for Bill Nagy at guard but it looks like his injury is going to make it tough for him to have any chance at earning a starting role.
Three players failed their conditioning test on the first day of camp and finally passed on their second attempt today. All I can say is that it is completely inexcusable for Felix Jones to fail his conditioning test. I know he had offseason shoulder surgery. He has been running for several months. The Cowboys are expecting him to return kicks this season and be the change of pace back for DeMarco Murray. Not coming to camp with the proper conditioning should be a big embarrassment for him and a big concern for the team. I hope Jason Garrett pushes him to get back in shape.
All signs are pointing towards Barry Church taking the early lead to start at safety opposite Gerald Sensabaugh. I would love to see Church win the job so the Cowboys can simply cut Brodney Pool a few weeks from now. Matt Johnson was drafted in the 4th round and has received rave reviews. I would like to see Church starting and Matt Johnson getting onto the field occasionally this season.
Let's discuss the debate about whether the window is closing for this team. I think it is pretty obvious that the window is definitely starting to close. The key top players are all in the second half of the prime of their careers. Jason Witten, Tony Romo, Demarcus Ward, and Jay Ratliff aren't getting any younger. I think the Cowboys have 2-4 years left with this core group of players. There is still time for these guys to get it done, but the clock is ticking.

Murder at the Rodeo
GILMER- Upshur County Community Players will be performing Amy Patterson's newest dinner theater play, "MURDER at the RODEO. " This hilariously entertaining murder mystery dinner theater will be performed at the Gilmer Country Club, Saturday, March 29, 7 pm. Doors will open at 6 pm for fellowship and drinks. Come early to get a good table.
Everyone has gathered for the big barbeque held before the rodeo begins. Jack Aster, owner of the arena holding the prize money, has been murdered. Was it Beau Leggs, the rodeo clown and veteran bull rider, who has seen better days, played by Jimmy Bedard? Or maybe Larry Attz, played by Brandon Dodd, champion bronc rider and rodeo idol, did it. We can't rule out Buck M. Offenheimer, aka Greg Burch, saddle bronc rider and sometimes bareback rider. Sunny Delight, Dr. Cherie Nazzal, barrel racer, is a little too ditzy, maybe too many times around the barrel, and had motive and opportunity. Or did Heidi Heffner, Amorette Burch, Rodeo Queen, kill the Jack Aster? Sal Monella also had motive, played by Criss Bartley. She is the cook for the participants and patches them up when they are injured? This is not her first rodeo.
Tickets are only $25.00 and must be pre purchased from the Gilmer Country Club, 903 734 4125, or from the Gilmer Chamber of Commerce, 903 843 2413.

Okay, I am proficient in Python, Ruby (I would rather have Python than... that...), and I know some C and C++.
Thing is, I have been told that everyone's first programming language should be Lisp. Okay, I know Python, but that is not my idea of a professional programming language (please, no flaming or commenting on that, it is just my opinion on Python). I have a few books with which I could start learning (Common) Lisp. I have experimented with it, and I must say I really love it. But, as you know, there are not many people who actively use it.
1) Should I really learn Lisp? Or should I get on with C?
2) Will it be useful to me in a pragmatic way? (Will I be able to make use of it professionally too?)
3) Is the learning curve SO steep? (Assuming I SHOULD learn Lisp)
I know this probably looks like a newbie post, or perhaps like a troll's. I AM a newbie when it comes to Lisp. And I can honestly say that I want the Lispers' opinion; some advice.
Consider the "should I..." as "would you advice me to...".
Thanks in advance.

I am in shock that V/T were THREE HOURS AHEAD of J/C...could that be right?
I'm thinking a three-hour time credit? For some reason?
Quote from: georgiapeach on April 12, 2009, 08:01:23 PMI am in shock that V/T were THREE HOURS AHEAD of J/C...could that be right? Peach since both teams were at the matt at roughly the same time, no it can't be right. So I would assume they mislabelled T/V time and it should have read 12:27 instead of 9:27
Well it will certainly be interesting if CBS tells us why T/V got a 3 hour time credit, when they were on the mat with J/C in Phuket.

Long-Arm Lowering: Terraflex LCG KitPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on October 1, 2010
Our faithful '01 TJ has been around the magazine for about 10 years now and we decided it was time for an update on its old-school lift kit. We were at 41/2 inches of lift on a short-arm system, and we were tired of dealing with the handling quirks both on- and off-road. We decided that a long-arm lift kit would solve some of the problems, but felt that the Jeep was still just too high and unstable.
We were running 35-inch tires and had an adequate amount of under-Jeep clearance that we didn't want to lose, but we felt the Jeep was more stable and climbed better with less lift and 32-33-inch tires. At the same time, this Jeep isn't a trailer queen, so we wanted better on-road handling.
We decided to go back down to a 33-inch tire and whatever lift height was required to clear it without limiting uptravel. We also wanted to minimize the loss of clearance that would inevitably come from lowering a Jeep and we wanted a complete lift kit that wouldn't require us to source other parts anywhere else. We've had had it with "complete" kits that were anything but.
We used Teraflex in the past for the company's high-clearance Belly Up skidplate, and with its 11/2-inch gain in clearance over stock; we knew it would be a slam-dunk. So we started looking at the LCG (Low Center of Gravity) kits that the company produces and found that the Pro kit includes everything needed to install it, no holds barred. We went with a 3-inch LCG Pro kit for our TJ.
The kit includes literally everything. From brake lines and shocks to sway bar end links and even a steering box skidplate. We were confident we wouldn't have to run out to the store or order more parts.
All of the instructions from Teraflex state to have a professional shop install the kit, but we wanted to do it ourselves, much like you might try to do at home. So, follow along as we lower our TJ and actually gain performance in the bargain. Stay tuned for next time where we work on the rear of the Jeep.

The bureau stopped diverting water through the Adams Tunnel into the lake on Nov. 5, as well as moving water from Lake Estes through the Olympus Tunnel to the southern power arm of the Colorado-Big Thompson water diversion, storage and delivery project, of which Estes, Marys and East Portal are a part. This was in preparation for some regular maintenance projects on that section.
Water that would normally hit the three power plants between Lake Estes and the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon was instead released directly from Olympus Dam to the Big Thompson River. That bumped flows in the canyon up to around 150 cubic feet per second where they stayed for about a week.
"With the 150 cfs being released from Lake Estes, but no water coming in, the water level elevation at Estes dropped a little over a foot a day until it reached the elevation it is currently at now: 7460 feet, or about 15 feet down from full," said Kara Lamb, the Bureau of Reclamation public information officer. "Then, we curtailed the releases back to native inflow and are now holding steady. Our plan is to keep Lake Estes at this elevation until mid-December."
Lamb said the bureau, the agency that manages the lake, drops the water level down to this elevation every two to three years for regular maintenance projects.
"Sometimes, there is a shoreline clean-up that occurs when the water level is down, but we didn't get that organized this year," she said. "However, the Estes Sanitation District will be performing sand removal from the western side of Lake Estes while the water is low. Sand removal is scheduled to start this coming Monday, Nov. 26."
Water levels at Marys Lake will not be drawn down this year as they were in 2011.
"Currently, we are releasing about 20 cfs from Olympus Dam to the Big Thompson Canyon," said Lamb. "That is natural flow in the Big Thompson coming down from the mountains; so, we are passing that through Lake Estes on downstream."
The annual maintenance projects scheduled for this fall on the Colorado-Big Thompson are expect to begin wrapping up on Dec. 7. Diversions through the Adams Tunnel will resume and the water level elevation at Lake Estes will start to rise again.

Whenever possible, I like to present Cantor's diagonal proof of the uncountability of the reals to my undergraduates. For simplicity, I usually restrict to showing that the subset $$ A = \{x \in [0,1) \mid \text{ the decimal representation of $x$ uses only 0's and 1's} \} $$ is already uncountable. I was thinking recently that it would be nice to add a quick proof that $A$ is actually of precisely the same cardinality as $\mathbb{R}$. That is, I would like to:
Demonstrate a bijection between $A$ and $\mathbb{R}$.
My first instinct was to use find an injection from $A$ into $\mathbb{R}$ and vice versa, then appeal to Cantor-Bernstein to say that a bijection exists (even if we don't know how to construct it). The identity map suffices from $A$ into $\mathbb{R}$. For the other direction, I thought of something like "for $x \in \mathbb{R}$, map $x$ to its binary representation, disregarding the decimal point". I'm afraid this function fails to be injective, however. For example, 1 (base 10) can be represented as $.\overline{1}$ (base 2), and so 2 (base 10) can be represented as $1.\overline{1}$ (base 2). Thus, 1 and 2 (base 10) will have the same image under my map.
Any methods (not necessarily the one I've attempted to start here) are most welcome. I will accept as "correct" the method which demonstrates the bijection with the greatest level of clarity.

Latest stories
Who's buying our salvage vehicles in Europe?
It seems that there are some questions surrounding the purchasing of vehicles by other European countries, in particular Cat B vehicles. One of our readers asked us the following:
Diesel and petrol car sales to be banned from 2040
In recent news and following on from France's commitment to take polluting vehicles off the road by 2040, Britain has also followed suit by banning the sales of all new diesel and petrol cars and vans by 2040. The final plan is due by the end of July.
Palladium cost has increased, hitting a 16 year high
Automakers may have to decrease the use of palladium and seek an alternative due to higher prices of the metal
There is a use for rusty old cars!
This years' Glastonbury featured 'Cineramageddon' – an interesting use of old vehicles.
The pressure's on for tyres!
The Tyre Recovery Association (TRA) and National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) warn of rising costs on tyre recycling due to regulatory changes and market conditions, factors that will affect used tyre collectors and re-processors.
Volvo to go electric by 2019
Volvos plan is to launch five electric models between 2019 and 2012 and a number of hybrid models and they aim to sell one million electrified cars by 2025.
We're not a scrap yard, we're a vehicle dismantlers
Atf Pro met up with the guys at Skan 4x4 Ltd to take a look at their great setup.
Code of practice flawed, the opinion of the BVSF
One has to be concerned when the insurer's new Code of Practice (CoP) that received its "soft launch" a week or so back isn't supported by either the Motor Vehicle Dismantlers' Association or the British Vehicle Salvage Federation, two of the main owners of the pre-existing code.

LITTLE ROCK — Mitt Romney is a solid favorite among likely Arkansas voters, but ballot measures that would temporarily raise the state sales tax by a half-cent to fund road construction and legalize marijuana for medical purposes are close, according the 14th annual Arkansas Poll released Wednesday.
In the presidential race, Republican nominee Romney leads President Barack Obama, a Democrat, 58 percent to 31 percent in the state, according to the poll.
Respondents preferred the sales tax increase for highway projects by a margin of 53 percent to 42 percent. On the medical marijuana proposal, 53 percent said they oppose it and 43 percent said they support it.
The poll, commissioned by the University of Arkansas and conducted by Issues & Answers Network, surveyed 800 likely Arkansas voters in live telephone interviews between Oct. 9 and 14. Respondents were selected randomly.
Twenty percent of respondents were cell phone users. Ten of the interviews were conducted in Spanish. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Respondents also were asked about expanding Medicaid in Arkansas, with the federal government picking up the tab for three years and the state eventually taking on 10 percent of the cost. Forty-five percent said they opposed Medicaid expansion and 43 percent said the program should be expanded to cover more low income-uninsured. Twelve-percent said they didn't know or refused to answer the question.
Gov. Mike Beebe has proposed expanding Medicaid coverage to an additional 250,000 Arkansans. Republican lawmakers have been cool to the idea.
The poll also found that 47 percent of voters see the economy as the most important issue in the state. Fifteen percent of respondents named health care as the most important issue, 12 percent named drugs and 11 percent named education.
The economy was named as the No. 1 concern in last year's poll by 67 percent of respondents.
The poll also looked at approval ratings among public figures. Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe received a 71 percent approval rating, with 14 percent saying they disapprove of the way he is handling his job as governor. Fifteen percent said they did not know or declined to answer.
U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., received a 51 percent approval rating, with 20 percent disapproving and 29 percent saying they did not know or declining to answer.
Obama received a 34 percent approval rating, with 59 percent saying they disapprove of his job as president and 8 percent saying they did not know or declining to answer. The percentages add up to more than 100 because fractions are rounded off.
Madison Murphy, chairman of the Arkansas Highway Commission, said he was cautiously optimism about support for the sales tax increase to fund a $1.8 billion bond issue to construct a four-lane highway system connecting all parts of the state.
"Obviously we have to get 50.01 percent, so clearly it's a very tight race," Murphy said. "What I hope is we can get the message out what Issue 1 entails so people can make an informed decision about whether or not we as Arkansans want to invest in ourselves."
Jerry Cox, president of the Christian conservative Family Council, which is part of a coalition opposing the measure, said Wednesday the poll shows that support for the medical marijuana initiative is slipping. He noted that a Talk Business-Hendrix College poll from July found that 47 percent of respondents said they supported the measure and 46 percent opposed it. An updated poll the alliance released last week showed 54 percent of respondents opposed the measure and 38 percent said they supported it.
"What's happening is, the people of Arkansas are reading the measure, they're learning about it, and they're deciding they're not going to vote for it," Cox said.
Chris Kell, spokesman for Arkansas for Compassionate Care, the group sponsoring the proposed initiated act, said Wednesday the latest polls reflect the results of Jerry Cox's "propaganda" against the measure.
Kell said the polls were conducted too early to reflect the impact of his group's TV ads, which began airing Tuesday, or of talk show host Montel Williams' visit to Little Rock last Thursday in support of the measure.
"I think that once people start seeing our commercials and they start reading more of our stories and we start getting a positive message out, I suspect those numbers will change significantly," Kell said.
In the Arkansas Poll, voters also were asked about their views regarding relationships between two people of the same sex. Of those who responded, 55 percent said there should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship, 20 percent said gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions or domestic partnerships, but not marry, and 18 percent said gay couples should be allowed to legally wed.
In 2004, Arkansas voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Reporter John Lyon contributed to this report.

Susanna Hutchinson is my 8th great grandmother. She was the daughter of Anne Marbury and William Hutchinson. (Surname Saturday - Marbury)
Here is her amazing story:
Here is her amazing story:
Susanna Hutchinson at the age of nine was captured by the Native Americans on August 20, 1843 who killed her mother and siblings when they raided and burned their home to the ground. Susanna was the only survivor. Killed were her mother, Anne, her brother, 23 years old Francis, 16 year old sister Anne and her husband William Collins, 15 year old sister Mary, sister Katherine who was 13, her 12 year old brother William, and the youngest, 7 year old Zuriel. A total of nine family members were slaughtered. Somewhere between two and six years later, Susanna was reincorporated into European life.
According to one story, Susanna was spared from slaughter because of her red hair, while another account related that she was out picking blueberries and went to hide in the crevice of Split Rock when the attack occurred, a short distance away from the house.
Susanna's captivity ended when she was traded back to the Dutch, then to the English, and then returned to her brother Edward. Her known living siblings at the time of her return were her oldest brothers, Edward and Samuel, and her two oldest living sisters, Bridget, the wife of John Sanford and Faith, the wife of Major Thomas Savage who was killed by the Numtuck Indians during the King Phillip's War while negotiating a treaty.
All of these siblings lived in Boston except for Bridget who lived in Portsmouth. Susanna returned to Boston, and stayed with her oldest brother and his family. On December 30, 1651 she married John Cole, the son of Samuel Cole who owned Boston's earliest inn, the Three Mariners Inn located midway between State Street and Faneuil Hall. Susanna and John had eleven Children.
I just finished reading, "Trouble's Daughter", by Katherine Kirkpatrick. It told of Susanna's life from the massacre and capture, her life among the Indians, to her negotiated return home.

Earlier this month Coca-Cola Co. gave a huge boost (60% at one point) to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' share price when it took a 10% stake in the company. Looking at Coke's latest results, investors are hoping Green Mountain can return the favor.
Coke's fourth quarter numbers show how hard growing the global soft drink business can be. Revenue fell 3.6% to $11 billion. Analysts had been looking for $11.3 billion. That's the main reason Coke's shares were down more than 4% Tuesday, the biggest decliner on the Dow Jones Industrial Average .
Included in the drop in revenue are various structural changes and exchange rates that went the wrong way. But that's not what the market focused on, and it's not what Coke's top executives are worried about either.
In his third-quarter report to shareholders, Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent called the company "constructively discontent" with its results. This time he wrote about the need for the company to restore momentum while admitting global volume growth was \"below our expectations and long-term growth target." Last quarter, volume growth in China and India slowed, it was flat in Latin America and it fell 1% in North America.
Coke is desperately seeking ways to reverse this trend. And that's where Green Mountain comes in.
Unlike PepsiCo Inc. , which has built up a huge presence in the snack business, Coke so far has remained a beverages-only operation. Its 10-year strategic partnership and 10% ownership in Green Mountain announced earlier this month continues in this vein. At the same time, the deal gives Coke access to the fastest-growing soda market in North America: the kitchen counter, where Green Mountain's Keurig Cold at-home beverage system is making its mark.
Clearly, Green Mountain is on to something. Its sales hit $4.36 billion last year, up 13%. That's exactly the kind of growth Coke needs to tap into, even if it only gets a 10% slice of it.

Other name(s):
aminoacetic acid
Unsubstantiated claims
Please note that this section reports on claims that have not yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Glycine may help treat schizophrenia. But studies are conflicting. Taking glycine by mouth may reduce symptoms of the condition in people who are resistant to conventional medicines.
Glycine may also help reduce pain and improve healing of leg ulcers. Applying a cream that contains glycine, l-cysteine, and dl-threonine may work.
Glycine may help people suffering from a stroke. Taking it under your tongue within six hours after the onset of acute ischemic stroke may help protect you. It may also help treat depression and hyperactivity. Glycine may also help treat malnutrition due to drug addiction.
Recommended intake
Amino acids (AAs) are available as individual AAs or in AA combinations. They also come as part of multi-vitamins, proteins, and food supplements. The forms include tablets, fluids, and powders.
Note that by eating enough protein in your diet, you get all of the amino acids you need.
There are no conditions that increase how much glycine you need.
Side effects, toxicity, and interactions
Using a single amino acid supplement may lead to negative nitrogen balance. This can decrease how efficient your metabolism is. It can also make your kidneys work harder. In children, taking single amino acid supplements may also cause growth problems. It may also cause seizures and developmental delays.
You should not take high doses of individual amino acids for long periods of time.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding shouldn't use glycine supplements.

Breakout indie gaming hit Tiny Wings was a 2011 iMore Editor's Choice Award winner, so you better believe we're looking forward to Tiny Wings 2. July 12 is the big day, according to developer Andreas Illiger.
Part of what made the original Tiny Wings so great was its simple, hand-crafted charm. Just a bird, momentum, mountains, and a race against the setting sun. That same charm positively explodes from the old fashioned teaser just released for the sequel.
So for some paper craft animation and punch hole music at its finest, as well as an almost literal easter egg at the end, check out the video and then start saving your pennies. If Tiny Wings 2 is even half as enthralling as the original, we'll be in for some long gaming sessions, and late nights come next Thursday.
