Notts Police have confirmed that Worksop police station is not on the market despite claims from John Mann MP that the building is touted for sale.
The MP for Bassetlaw tweeted on Thursday 17th July: "Worksop police station being touted for sale as it is too big."
He also told the Guardian: "I am concerned that policing is being downgraded in Bassetlaw."
"Criminal cases are being taken away from the court in Worksop, and now the police station is being touted for sale."
A spokesperson for Notts Police said: "We can confirm that the police station on Potter Street, Worksop is not being touted for sale."
On Monday 21st July the Government announced its plans to close four police stations and five front counters in Notts in a bid to save £2.4m over the next three years.
However, Worksop is not included in the proposals- with Arnold, Sneinton, Meadows and Carlton, which are all in Nottingham, facing the chop.
John Mann said: "The police have made clear to me directly their desire to move out of the station and to get rid of the building. I am delighted if they have changed their mind."

Rum is definitely the flavour of the day, however take your time with it, and certainly don't knock it back in 9.63 seconds! (especially if it's Jamaican overproof!). Perhaps join the celebrations in style with a refreshing chilled Jamaican Iced Tea? We highly recommend mixing it up with our Cocktail Starter Pack which is currently available at a 38% discount from our website and includes a The Bar Book, the most comprehensive cocktail guide ever written, with over 1000 recipes. In case Rum or Iced Tea aren't your thing!

50ml Dark Jamaican rum
300ml Iced tea
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 Teaspoon of Brown Sugar
1 Lime cut into 1/8 size wedges
Pour 50ml of Dark Jamaican Rum into a Cocktail Shaker. Add Spices and sugar if desired and the Ice Tea. Shake well and decant into a chilled glass with a handful of Ice Cubes and a wedge of lime. Chill out, pull up a chair and sip along to the Athletics finals!

Automatically detecting them seem to be difficult even if we can sense a pattern her (genderless users as an example)

The Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Oldsmobile 455 intake manifold (#7551) is intended for aggressive street/strip big-block applications. This high-flow manifold, when matched with the ideal camshaft and Edelbrock cylinder heads, produces broad torque and peak horsepower in the 1500 to 6500 rpm range.
The Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Oldsmobile 455 manifold also features an Air-Gap design. This award-winning design incorporates the same race-winning technology that's been used on Edelbrock Victor Series competition intake manifolds for decades. The Air-Gap design features an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil, resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power.
The #7551 is compatible with stock heads, but has been optimized to work with Edelbrock RPM cylinder heads #60519 for the best performance results. Finally, this manifold is not compatible with EGR or spread-bore carburetors.

Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all vigilance;
for from it flow the springs of life.
Years after our culture has absorbed the elementary lessons of hygiene in the physical and environmental realms, we remain perfect babes in the wood when it comes to mental and spiritual common sense. Every fool knows that you don't drink from wells built next to toxic waste dumps. Not even a moron would say "My belching smokestack is my personal smokestack and has no effect on anybody else." Nobody says, "I'm strong. So it's okay for me to jog behind insecticide spewing trucks or eat this mad cow infected meat." But fools say things like this everyday when it comes to moral and spiritual pollution. They say you can fill your mind with slime from the tube and it won't affect them because they're "strong in their hearts." They say media can belch airwave pollution 24/7/365 and it won't affect the culture (though 30 second ad cost a million dollars and manufacturers gladly pay this to have "no effect"). They say that we can feed our souls on the toxic waste of sleaze TV, violent and misogynistic music, ugly art, and loveless, soul-dead stories and it will not affect "my personal truth of the moment." Scripture says differently. "Keep your heart." Feed it on what is true, good, noble and beautiful and you will become that way. Feed it on junk and the effects on your heart will be as predictable as the effects of a diet of radioactive waste and potato chips on an Olympic athlete: No matter how healthy he was to start with, he'll die.

Half bunch of asparagus
Handful of toasted hazelnuts (toast in a pan or oven until medium brown), crushed (break in towel or zip-lock bag)
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Parmigiano or pecorino
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus lengthwise to create strips. Toss with the hazelnuts and mint. Wisk together lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil. Pour over asparagus and mix with salt and pepper to taste. Shave parmegiano or pecorino on top.

Liberty Heights1999
When he's not crafting lavish Hollywood features like Rain Man, Bugsy, or the misbegotten Sphere, Barry Levinson occasionally makes highly personal films (the so-called "Baltimore series" of Diner, Tin Men, Avalon, and Liberty Heights). The latter, a 1999 release that disappeared all too soon from theaters, finds the aging Levinson working in a vein of pure memory: lyrical, mystical, forgiving. Ben Foster and Adrien Brody star as the middle-class Jewish sons of a shrewd burlesque operator (Joe Mantegna) running a petty numbers racket on the side. Set in the mid-'50s, the story finds the boys restless within the confines of their tight-knit community and unwilling to be restrained or rejected by anti-Semitic barriers or other racial and class prejudices. Before the film is over, the young men's pursuit of the unattainable will include a troubled WASP princess (Carolyn Murphy) to a remarkable African American girl (Rebekah Johnson) kept on her family's short tether. Levinson provides generous glimpses of a nation undergoing re-invention, from white discovery of rock & roll to racial integration in classrooms. There's lots of broad satire (Jewish shock at being fed something called "luncheon meat" by a Gentile friend), some delicate comedy of manners (a touchingly chaste relationship between two key characters), suspense (a kidnapping), and shattering passages of pure yearning. Levinson is in top form with Liberty Heights, his instincts acute, his skills at the service of beauty, his purpose clear. --Tom Keogh

Ben Kurtzman:
I grew up in the northwest section of Baltimore. It was all Jewish. In fact I didn't even think of it in those terms, I just assumed everyone was Jewish. The whole world was Jewish. I remember when I was in the second grade, first clue that some people were different occurred to me then. I even thought Ping Dir was Jewish, the Ping part didn't sound Jewish but I just assumed it was a nickname. Her brother's named Min-Huey and that definitely sounded Jewish. I began to sense there was a world beyond what I knew when I had lunch at Butch Johnson's house...
Mrs. Johnson:
Is there something wrong Ben?
Ben Kurtzman:
No, this is fine; I've just never had raw bread before.
Mrs. Johnson:
Ben Kurtzman:
We always cook it, you know? Toast it.
Mrs. Johnson:
Oh I can do that.
Ben Kurtzman:
No what, there's too much white here. The milk is white, the bread is white, it's all white stuff.
Mrs. Johnson:
Well what do you normally have?
Ben Kurtzman:
Not this.
Ada Kurtzman:
Well what was on the bread.
Ben Kurtzman:
A luncheon meat, I¡¯ve never heard of it.
Ada Kurtzman:
Not bologna, not salami?
Ben Kurtzman:
No, a luncheon meat, with mayonnaise, and milk, everything was white.
Ada Kurtzman:
Oh, they must not be Jewish. They¡¯re the other kind.
Ben Kurtzman:
A couple years later I realized, the ¡°other kind¡
Nate Kurtzman:
The government doesn't know from shit. They integrate the golf courses in '51, and schools in '54. Where's their priorities?
They integrated the cricket field in Clifton Park back in '50. Can't find a colored person who plays cricket.
Pete, Nate's Assistant:
I beg to differ. That was part of the separate but equal ruling. The coloreds could only play cricket on Tuesdays.
You can't find a colored person who wants to play cricket on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Kiss-My-Tuchis-Day.
Charlie, Nate's Assistant:
For that matter, you can't find a white person who wants to play cricket. What is it with that game? It makes no sense. How many players do you need there? What do they use, a mallet or something?
Pete, Nate's Assistant:
Isn't that the one with the hoops?
Charlie, Nate's Assistant:
That's croquet.
Nah, croquet is something you eat.
Nate Kurtzman:
Everything is something you eat.
No, I saw it here on the menu.

Determining the ideal rug size and construction type for your space is not an exact science. The type of room and furniture placement will factor into your decision. We suggest leaving an equal amount of flooring exposed on all sides of the room. The first step is to always measure the floor, and not rely on a visual "eyeball" of the space. A 5'x 8' rug will look very different dimensionally on a rug rack or displayed in a showroom than it will in your home.
What's your room arrangement?
Choose a room layout and measure for your new rug based on the space you'd like to fill. Here are some sample layouts that may work for your space.
Dining & Breakfast Room:
Living or Family Room:
Entry Way:
How much traffic and use does the room get?
Kitchens and hallways with heavy foot traffic demand a durable rug, while bedrooms and dining rooms experience less routine daily wear and exposure to moisture.
Hand hooked wool rugs are a great choice for all levels of traffic. Our hand-hooked rugs feature a lower pile. Composed of small loops, they have a needlepoint-like appearance, and a lower profile than tufted designs. Hand-hooked wool rugs are less prone to shedding.
Naturally stronger than wool, jute rugs are the perfect choice for all your interior high-traffic areas. Jute rugs are resilient to shedding and are
Hand-tufted wool rugs are crafted by loops of wool that are pushed through a backing imprinted with the rug's overall design. Hand-tufted wool rugs are crafted by loops of wool that are pushed through a backing imprinted with the rug's overall design. These loops are then sheared to
create the pile. Hand-tufted rugs are well suited for medium-high to high traffic rooms. Initially prone to shedding, excess wool fibers will subside after about 10-15 vacuums, followed years of beauty and durable service.
Luxurious under foot, hand-tufted bamboo viscose rugs are crafted and sheared exactly like our hand-tufted wool designs. However,
hand-tufted bamboo viscose rugs are intended for dressier spaces, and are best placed in bed rooms and more formal living rooms. Cashmere
for the floor, these rugs shimmer and are deeply hued for a truly
designer look in low traffic rooms.
Jacquard-woven rugs feature a lustrous design crafted of wool
with a cut-pile design in luxurious viscose. A true study in texture
and tone, hand jacquard-woven rugs are an elegant addition
to your dressy spaces on their own, or when layered with another complimenting foundation rug in medium to low traffic locations.
Perfect for a covered porch or patio, mudroom, kitchen or playroom. Made from 100% polypropylene yarns which are moisture and stain resistant, hand hooked indoor/outdoor rugs
are even great options for bathrooms.
What color are your walls and furniture?
If your living room is vivid and eclectic, try a neutral, monochromatic or textural rug to provide a visual anchor. If walls are plain, or to make a basic furniture pop, a patterned vibrant rug is the right choice.
Art for the Floor
Open concept homes present interesting challenges that are easily overcome by using complimentary rugs, in similar color palettes that feature different designs and textures for a cohesive look in adjacent spaces.
Why Use a Rug Pad?
Along with preventing your rug from slipping all over the place, a pad will add another layer of comfort and help protect it for years.

Is the warlock nerf already live on EU servers?
Is the warlock nerf already live on EU servers?
Not sure why it needed to be fixed. I never sold anything, but burdens are useless on my main so it would have been nice to at least give them to other people who could use them.
- - - Updated - - -
I think Blizzard needs to nerf mechanisms where players can troll the group ( ie.. defensive stance for Naz, or ´crush´ from Galaron) and stuff like that. But otherwise, at least give us a few weeks to work through the mechanisms before making them ignorable.
- - - Updated - - -
It really is one of the problems the ´elites´ seem to ignore when talking about LFR. As much as their are low dps players, and bad players who ignore mechanisms.. there are even MORE people in raid gear who try to troll every boss mechanism they can.
So I guess whilst WOTF was nerfed, the human racial won't be; meanwhile, most other races get to enjoy "fabulous" resistances to single types of damage, and very situational, often weak racial bonuses. Awesome.

Former Senate President Frank Drilon urged the Commission on Elections (Comelec) today to issue a circular "defining in very clear terms" what would constitute premature campaigning now that the deadline for the filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) in the 2010 polls has been moved to an earlier date.
Drilon, who is also national chairman of the Liberal Party (LP), said he would like to know whether appearances in TV soap operas and other television advertisements by candidates before the official campaign period opens would constitute premature campaigning.
Drilon asked for the clarification as he warned that the earlier deadline for the filing of certificates of candidacy, November 30, gives candidates a two-month period within which they might conduct premature campaigning. The official campaign period for national positions starts in mid-February.
Drilon explained that under Section 13 of Republic Act 9369 or the Automated Election Law that was signed by the President recently, the deadline for the filing of the certificates of candidacy for those running in the 2010 polls will be moved to an earlier date.
"I urged Comelec Chairman Jose Melo to consider issuing a circular that will define in very clear terms what activities are considered premature campaigning given the new schedules brought about by the Automated Election Law," Drilon said.
"Such a circular could avoid the unnecessary controversies and confusions that will arise after the candidates file their certificates of candidacy two months before the start of the actual campaign period," Drilon explained.
"During this period, can a candidate set up a huge billboard along EDSA bearing his face and name while endorsing a popular soap product or appear on frequent TV advertisements? Will that be premature campaigning considering that the candidates has already filed his certificate of candidacy?" Drilon further said,
Drilon said Comelec should issue a circular so that candidates could avoid activities that may be considered premature and illegal campaigning.
Earlier, the Comelec said it was eyeing other changes in the election calendar after it moved up the deadline for the filing of certificates of candidacy to November instead of early 2010 in accordance with the provisions of the Election Automation Law.
Comelec legal department chief Ferdinand Rafanan said the poll body was looking into the possibility of moving party convention schedules to an earlier date as well.
Comelec Chairman Jose Melo said those planning to run for public office in 2010 would have to come out earlier than expected as the deadline for the filing of COCs has been advanced to November.
The deadline for filing COCs is usually in February for national posts and March for local posts prior to the elections in May. Rafanan said it was unlikely the poll agency would change the campaign period, which is from 60 to 90 days before the elections. The Comelec moved the last day for filing COCs to November 30 to give the winning bidder of the poll automation contract ample time to produce the ballots.
Define 'premature campaigning,' Drilon urges Comelec

Two coaches who have defied the odds in guiding their respective teams to football's highest stage will go head to head in Yokohama on Sunday.
Luiz 'Big Phil' Scolari and Rudi Voeller were appointed within weeks of each other last summer.
Scolari was given the Brazil job with the team - unthinkably - on the verge of failing to qualify for the World Cup finals.
Rudi Voeller took the German coaching role reluctantly and with the national team at a low ebb following their early exit at the group stages of Euro 2000.
In this respect there is a clear similarity between the two men - both started their jobs at a difficult time for national teams boasting a long and illustrious football history.
And it could hardly be said that they were first-choice picks.
Scolari became Brazil's fourth manager in a disastrous 12-month period.
Voeller was handed the reigns on a short-term basis while the German FA waited for Christoph Daum to complete his tenure as manager at Bayer Leverkusen.
But soon after Voeller's appointment Daum was embroiled in a drugs scandal.
More by default than anything else Voeller - who had taken the German job with virtually no coaching experience - landed the position on a permanent basis.
Scolari, on the other hand, took over Brazil boasting a wealth of experience and a successful CV.
He had been the most successful domestic coach in Brazil throughout the nineties, guiding both Gremio and Palmeiras to the Copa Libertadores, South America's Champions League.
He had a reputation for building successful, robust teams and had once famously fined his players for not fouling the opponents often enough.
After his team lost a qualifier in Argentina last year he remarked that they had lost because they had not wasted enough time rolling around on the ground.
But after emerging from the quagmire of South American qualifying, Scolari has demonstrated his flexibility to confound his critics at the World Cup.
With his gifted forwards fit and in form - his team have stormed the World Cup with attacking play that has left the opposition clinging to their coat-tails.
Germany scraped through qualification and lost several key players in the months prior to the tournament.
But Voeller shrewdly took the pressure of his World Cup squad, telling the media that he was building a team ready to challenge seriously in 2006 when the World Cup is played in Germany.
And on the eve of the tournament Voeller said that he did not expect his team to win the World Cup.
But behind the facade of modest expectations Voeller has drilled his players hard - and they have responded by conceding just one goal at the finals.
His team may have had a lucky draw but Voeller has seemed at ease with the pressure of managing a top team in football's most high-profile tournament.
Voeller's team has exceeded expectations at the World Cup and the coach must take his share of credit.
Win or lose on Sunday, Voeller has gone a long way to demonstrating his skills as a coach.
Scolari's pedigree was known when he took over Brazil.
His contract expires on Sunday and he has already said that on Monday he will be unemployed.
But he too has confounded his critics and - like Voeller - will leave the World Cup with his reputation enhanced.

Two friends opening a new cafe and emporium in Padiham have something special brewing with a British rock legend.
Deb Butterworth and Alison McLeod are launching their new venture Mooch with a little help from The Charlatans' iconic frontman Tim Burgess.
The Read mums' Burnley Road shop will be the first place in Lancashire to sell the singer's Fairtrade Tim Peaks coffee, which is the toast of celebrities including crime writer Ian Rankin and Gary Neville.
Deb said: "It all started with a Tweet. We messaged Tim and he got straight back. We will now be selling the wonderful Tim Peaks coffee and mugs at the shop and the proceeds go to the David Lynch Foundation."
The pair believe it will be music to the ears of coffee fans and cannot wait to get the kettle on for customers at the opening of Mooch tomorrow, from 9am to 3pm.
Deb, Alison and their friends decided to launch Mooch after their Friendship Interiors craft business was a huge hit in the town's pop-up shop.
The venture brings together a collective of artists, crafters, bakers and small creative businesses in a "mini-emporium".
There will be a cafe with organic home-cooked food and freshly-baked bread. The shop will also sell everything from home-made gifts, mugs, artwork, pictures, vintage furniture and recycled and upcycled products.
Alison said: "The whole ethos is being creative and bringing people into Padiham. It is all part of 'shop local' and putting money back into your community.
"We are creating our own 'pop up shop' - but it will be permanent. There will be artists and crafters here selling gifts, cakes, furniture, art and jewellery
"It is going to be a place where the pictures on the walls and the chairs you sit on are for sale."

Takoma: Not To Be Confused With Takoma Park
The Takoma Theatre.
You can say a lot of things about Takoma. You can call it "eclectic," a catch-all for the liberal, vegan-friendly vibe that persists there; you might say it's dead after 9 p.m., thanks to a limited bar scene; or you can call it bargain territory for a young homebuyer.
Just don't call it Maryland.
The DC neighborhood shares a name and a border with Takoma Park just over the Maryland state line, creating a level of confusion that drives the residents a bit nuts.
"People say, 'Oh you're in Takoma Park?'" says Jackie Jones, a 15-year neighborhood resident. "I tell them Takoma is a neighborhood in DC; Takoma Park is a city in Maryland. They'll rave about Roscoe's Pizzeria, and I have to remind them that it's on the Maryland side."
Nominal annoyances aside, Takoma is beloved by its residents, many neighbors for decades and others part of an influx of young, first-time homebuyers. They praise the community spirit and proximity to the District's hotspots, even if the restaurant and retail scene is moving along a bit slowly.
The "Delightful Shade" of Northwest
Takoma sits at the northeastern tip of the District, with Eastern Avenue separating it from Maryland. To the west, Georgia Avenue separates it from Rock Creek Park, and somewhere between Tuckerman and Van Buren Streets marks Takoma's southern border.
Established in 1883, Takoma was the first railroad suburb of the city, promoted as having "no malaria," "pure air," and "delightful shade." The neighborhood originally stretched across the state line, and even after the Maryland General Assembly incorporated Takoma Park in 1890, the two communities continued to share a name and a common identity. After the arrival of the Seventh Day Adventists in 1903, businesses were closed on Sundays and alcohol sales were prohibited. The teetotaling, community activism, and vegetarianism popularized by the Adventists all linger in Takoma today. (Takoma Park, Md. only lifted a ban on carry-out alcohol sales in 2010.)
A Buyer's Market
Takoma is a green and leafy neighborhood with old homes intact, thanks to the residents who fought against a 10-mile freeway that was set to rip through the neighborhood in the 1960s. Condos and rentals exist, but the real market is for Takoma's colonials, Cape Cod-style homes, and bungalows. These houses, built mostly between 1920 and 1950, can be had for reasonable prices by DC standards.
A Victorian stunner on Cedar Street.
A dated but livable house can still be found in the mid-$300,000s, but bidding wars have pushed the updated homes into the $500,000 to $600,000 range, with some outliers. "The price points are generally a little bit lower than what you can get elsewhere in Northwest," Pamela Wye of TTR Sotheby's Realty said, noting that other selling points include the big yards (think 5,000 square-foot lots), decent space (typically 1,300 square feet for a three-bedroom, two-bath house), and garages.
Like neighborhoods across the city, new buyers in Takoma tend to be on the younger side, replacing residents who've lived there a lifetime. In addition to below average home prices, a below average crime rate, the proximity to parks, and the free Takoma Recreation Center (complete with pool) make the neighborhood an attractive one for young families. Sara Cherkis moved into a home in Takoma with her husband and baby two years ago.
"We wanted to have a little bit more space but still be close to the Metro," she says. Parks and a playground have made Takoma a pleasant place for Cherkis to raise her 18-month-old, and she loves the friendly neighbors. Like many Takoma homebuyers, living in D.C. was important to Cherkis, even if it's only a quarter-mile inside the District boundary. Takoma enjoys greater diversity than its Maryland counterpart—or, as one resident put it, Takoma Park is "probably more white."
A home on 5th Street that recently sold for well above its asking price.
But the Schools…
Newcomers like Cherkis have been welcomed by long-time residents, partly because they hope that the young blood will continue to invigorate specific aspects of the community. "I think it's important that we have people with investment in the schools," Jackie Jones said of Takoma's influx of new folks.
The public schools that serve Takoma, particularly Takoma Elementary and Coolidge Senior High, have yet to climb into the city's top echelon. (Shepherd Elementary, one of the most sought-after public elementary schools in the District, shares a zipcode with Takoma.) Residents seem to talk about local schools optimistically in the future tense, but pragmatically in the present.
"We don't know what to do about the school situation," says one young Takoma mother. "The idea of navigating the school lotteries is pretty daunting, and that's the reality for this part of the District." She added, "I would love to send my child to public schools."
Horace & Dickies arrived on 4th Street NW early in 2012.
All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go
Perhaps the biggest knock on Takoma is the lack of amenities and restaurants compared to other neighborhoods. "We could have more, frankly," says Jones, who likes to patronize local spots but often heads down Georgia Avenue to eat out. Cherkis struggled to name a bar before coming up with a few restaurants that have bars in them.
It's not for lack of enthusiasm that the restaurant scene suffers in Takoma. "Every time something new opens, people really rally around it," says Cherkis. Sharon Villines, a Takoma resident, agrees.
"We've worked very hard on this," Villines says. "I moderate the TakomaDC neighborhood list[serv] where I encourage new businesses to post frequently until everyone is familiar with them and no longer needs reminders." New business are admittedly received with wild excitement. "I am deliriously happy that Horace & Dickey's has come to Takoma," Jones says of the classic D.C. franchise, which opened up shop in the neighborhood earlier this year.
To be sure, some restaurants thrive around the Takoma Metro, including a few vegan and vegetarian options. Soupergirl, an upscale soup outfit that offers delivery, arrived on Carroll Street in 2011 and has plans to expand. Popular vegan spot My Little Bistro and Cedar Crossing, a tavern and wine bar, round out the options around the slowly developing downtown.
The Takoma Park Neighborhood Library opened in 1911.
Takoma is served by a Safeway (and the beloved Takoma Park farmer's market just over the state border, which is packed year-round), but residents want more. "Desperate for a Harris Teeter," says Villines. "Some place that serves freshly prepared food that is good quality but not elitist."
Many would like to see a bit of culture return to Takoma as well, specifically the re-opening of the Takoma Theatre, but that could be many years and many dollars away. Residents have fought for decades to "save" the theatre, a 1924 building that remains unused on 4th Street, and a conservancy group dedicated to its survival formed in 2007. The city awarded the group a grant in 2008 in order to study how the theatre would affect the surrounding area if re-opened, and its future remains unknown.
One big plus in the neighborhood's amenities column is the Takoma Community Center, which is free for D.C. residents. The center features an indoor pool, fitness center, children's pool (complete with fountains), and classes ranging from water aerobics to water polo. The pool is competition-quality and hosts several invitationals.
The Bottom Line
Takoma is a middle-class neighborhood with upper-class aspirations, and the social liberalism attracts a spirited, community-oriented set. The proximity to Rock Creek Park and more urbane offerings of the city make Takoma an attractive choice, even if you have to leave the block to get a decent meal.

An excellent look at what is one of my favorite DC neighborhoods. I hope that the Takoma Theater is able to be returned to its former glory!
- Lisa said at 1:13 pm on Friday August 17, 2012:
Great piece on a lovely neighborhood. Senbeb at 3rd and Sheridan is one of our favorite places to eat.
One quick point—My Little Bistro has some vegan options but is not a "vegan spot."
- Jackie said at 1:47 pm on Friday August 17, 2012:
great piece. Well done.
- dan bucher said at 3:03 pm on Friday August 17, 2012:
The theater has been vacant since when? Study done in 2007 and still no action. This stinks of botched committess and pouring good money into more fruitless studies. When are people going to let go and allow for market rate housing development on this site? The future isn't what it used to be for this theater. It is passed its usful life as a theater; the dynamics of this mass transit oriented neighborhood have changed, ... and this empty theater is a drag on the economic advancement of the surrounding area.
- D said at 2:12 am on Sunday August 19, 2012:
What happened to the theatre study and how much money was granted? Are the results available?
- Ryan said at 12:12 am on Tuesday August 21, 2012:
I had an experience with the odd Takoma DC/MD relationship a few months back. Was on my way from the metro to Coolidge High School for a volunteer project. I took a wrong turn and asked for directions, and the response I got was "oh that's in DC, this is the MD side," but it was said with this kind of attitude as if how dare I might confuse Takoma DC with MD. Another person I asked had no idea where the school was (despite it being one of the largest in the area), and when I said it was in DC, he said, "oh this is MD - I have no idea about anything on the DC side." It was so weird, especially after exploring the area because there's no visible difference between Takoma MD and DC, but apparently there's a huge difference to the locals.
- nn said at 4:07 pm on Sunday August 26, 2012:
One correction: the school in Takoma is called Takoma Education Campus, not Takoma Elementary. It is a PS-8 school which has recently been rebuilt into a really beautiful facility.
- ManorPark said at 3:36 pm on Tuesday September 4, 2012:
@ Dan - I agree with u. Great read! The silly ANC's in Takoma are killing the neighborhood. The ANC are OLD and out of touch of the community. I The theater should be torn down and development into something new , maybe gym or condos. I am tired of coming home late night and nothing to do…besides being hostage Takoma Station for a 20 dolla cover charge and carry outs..
- Len said at 7:43 pm on Thursday October 10, 2013:
That's what I thought. But then I went to the Takoma Street Festival which, I truly believe is in Takoma, DC, and as I walked from the Takoma metro station to the festival along Carroll street, I am greeted by a sign (in the front of an official-looking building) that welcomes me to "City of Takoma Park." Am I lost?
- Scot said at 1:54 pm on Tuesday November 19, 2013:
@ Dan and ManorPark… I wish I had seen this article earlier. No, we don't need more condos, especially not on a historic site. There are too many condos sitting vacant all over DC right now. Stop with the condo silliness already. You complain about the ANC being old, but are you doing anything about it? Are you going to meetings and voicing your opinion? Are you running to be a commissioner for your ANC?
Tearing down old buildings and building buzzword/marketing slang "transit oriented development" is not the answer to developing community. That is developers seeking to make a quick buck. What develops community is putting something in that space that promotes people coming together, being together - that is the exact definition of community. Not stacking a bunch of renters on top of each other who don't care about a community because they think/know that it's temporary… that they'll be leaving once they can afford bigger or better.
And ManorPark? If all you know is Takoma Station than you don't know the neighborhood at all.
- TDC Resident said at 8:53 am on Thursday August 28, 2014:
This article really doesn't do the neighborhood justice- it focuses too much on the perceived lack of amenities. We've lived in the neighborhood for over 5 years and have been very happy. We can walk to 2 branch libraries, an indoor pool, two beautiful playgrounds with splash parks (Takoma Rec and Ft. Stevens is close enough), the metro and 3 bus lines that run straight downtown, a hardware store, a gelato place, a handful of eateries, a farmers market, and are a very easy and short drive to downtown Silver Spring. Our son does in fact attend the neighborhood school, and people need to be more open to giving it a shot, we've been very happy with it so far. By DC standards, the neighborhood has very little crime, and is probably the safest neighborhood east of Rock Creek Park, certainly the safest in Ward 4 (along with Shepherd Park). Overall, it has been a wonderful place to raise a family- and loads of families with young children have figured this out. The neighborhood doesn't really seek to cater to people without children or who aren't seeking a quiet place to live. If that's what you want, then look elsewhere. If you're raising a family in the city with a normal salary, then I have yet to find a better neighborhood than Takoma!

Juventus are reportedly waiting for responses on offers for Javier Hernandez, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Stevan Jovetic.
The Bianconeri have been linked in recent weeks with each of these attacking stars and Tuttosport understand that offers for each of them have now been tabled.
For Manchester United's Hernandez, it is understood that an initial loan bid of €2m has been made, alongside a purchase option included of €6m.
To Paris Saint-Germain for Lavezzi an offer of €2m for a 12-month loan has apparently been put forward, with a purchase option for the former Napoli winger set at €13m.
Meanwhile, for long-term target and former Fiorentina favourite Jovetic, Juve have reportedly once more asked for an initial loan deal at a rate of €2m, with the Manchester City forward's purchase option set at €15m.

Notes: the characters aren't mine (except for the OCs) and the story is! After the emotional roller coaster of my last fic, I'm taking a breather with this comparatively lighthearted adventure fic—please excuse the slow start, as I want to build up to the action this time, rather than start in the middle of the action. Anything that looks like a reference to a certain song from the Pool It album is intentional.
It was nearly eleven in the morning when Mike awoke. He groaned inwardly as he realized that most of the entire morning had gone. Of course, he couldn't blame his bandmates for letting him sleep in. Mike had been suffering from insomnia for the past few weeks and had only recently started sleeping again; the others would, naturally, have insisted upon letting him catch up on his lost sleep.
After changing into some appropriate day wear and resting his wool hat on his tousled hair, Mike headed downstairs, surprised to see the Pad empty except for Micky, who was skimming through the TV channels while drinking a cup of coffee.
"Morning," the brunet called.
"What's left of it, anyway," the Texan mused. "Where is everyone?"
"Davy had a lunch date, and Pete went out to finally get that electronic keyboard he's had his heart set on," Micky relayed.
Mike glanced at their petty cash jar; it had been emptied, but he didn't mind. All three of them had long supported Peter's desire of adding a keyboard to their band.
"You hungry?" Micky asked. "We've got some breakfast fixings left."
"Eh, it's almost lunchtime; I can wait," Mike said.
"There's more coffee if you're not fully awake," Micky added.
"Oh? Who made it?"
"I did."
"…No offense, Mick, but I think I'll pass. I'm just getting out of my insomnia spell."
Micky let out a mock sigh.
"Man, make the coffee just a tiny bit too strong once, and you never get trusted with it again…"
"Micky, that last time, you had poor Davy bouncing off the walls for three nights straight! Now I know why you seem to have an endless supply of energy—you drink your own coffee!"
Micky shrugged it off, and Mike just shook his head in amusement.
"So, it's just the three of us for lunch, huh?" the Texan asked, pulling out the used paper plates and setting them on the table.
"Yep; Davy said not to expect him back until late. I think he's going to try to convince Cyndia to go to dinner and a movie, too."
Mike stopped in the middle of place-setting.
"Cyndia?" he asked. "Not Cyndia Crowforest?"
Micky looked up at Mike, surprised.
"Yeah, that's her name. You know her?"
"She was Davy's alleged girlfriend a few years ago when they were still in school—this was right after I took him in. They were together for about six months."
"What happened?"
"What happened? She was walking all over him so much, it's amazing he didn't have any footprints on him! She tried to blackmail him into taking a skiing trip to Lake Tahoe, saying she'd dump if he didn't go."
"And?" Micky asked.
"He didn't go, and she was true to her word. The only good thing that came out of that relationship was that I learned to care for the little guy with all the worrying I was doing for him. I don't know what he's thinking, trying to get back together with her now…"
"Maybe she's matured by now?" Micky offered.
Mike let out a cynical grunt.
"He's too good for her, even if she's turned over a new leaf," the Texan declared. "Why Davy would want to give a second chance to a chick like that is beyond me."
"A chick like who?" Peter asked, entering the Pad in time to hear Mike say those words. "You mean Cyndia?"
"Oh, you met her, too, huh?" Mike asked. "I'm beginning to think Davy wanted me not to know about this; he knew I'd be dead set against it…" He shook his head and now turned his attention to the case Peter was carrying. "Got your keyboard?"
"Oh, yeah!" the blond grinned. "Case and everything! Wait'll you see this; it's got a piano setting, an organ setting, a harpsichord setting—"
"Better yet, why don't you give us a demonstration after we eat lunch?"
"Well, can we wait for Davy to get back first?" Peter asked. "I've been teaching him how to play the bass; I want to see if we can pull this off—me at the keyboard and him on the bass while you two do your thing."
"Sure, but we've got a while to wait," Micky said. "It's like I told Mike—Davy told me he wouldn't be back until evening."
Mike's eyebrows arched as he glanced out the back windows of the Pad that overlooked the beach.
"If that's the case, then the day sure went by fast…" he commented.
The Texan was staring pointedly out the window, where they could see Davy heading back towards the Pad—alone.
"He looks terrible!" Peter exclaimed.
"He looks just how I looked that time that weightlifter stole my girlfriend!" Micky said. "…Hey, you don't suppose…"
"I'll bet money on it," Mike said, darkly.
"No way!" Peter said. "Davy Jones, chick magnet, lose to another guy? I mean… the world might as well stop turning now!"
Mike held up a hand to quiet him as Davy walked up the steps to the balcony and entered through the back door. He glanced at his comrades and gave a wan smile and a shrug.
"Davy…" Mike said, folding his arms. "Just tell me one thing. Why?"
"It seemed like a good idea at the time," Davy said. "I mean… Well, Cyndia had been asking to get back together for a while now, and I just decided to give her another chance."
"And this will hopefully write and end to this sorry tale, won't it?" Mike asked.
"That's the thing; it was going great until…"
"Another guy muscled in?" Micky asked, his eyes wide.
Davy nodded, glumly, and Peter shook his head in disbelief.
"That's it," the blond said. "The world did stop turning. The impossible has happened. The fat lady ought to be singing her swan song any moment now…"
"Pete, if you had been here the first time Davy and Cyndia broke up, you wouldn't be the least bit surprised," Mike said. "I'm sure not." He looked to the English boy. "I'd give you an I-told-you-so, but you never gave me a chance to find out about this bad idea of yours."
"But why would this chick pick some other guy over you?" Micky wondered. "I mean, sure, Brenda saw that a weakling like me couldn't compare to that Bulk guy, but look at you! You've got the looks, you've got the spunk, you've got that English charm—"
"That's just it; so did the other fella," Davy said. "He was from England, too—with looks and spunk. And something else that I didn't have."
"What was that?" Peter asked.
Davy responded by pulling the few crumpled bills from his pocket.
"Money. He was chucking it like confetti; he offered Cyndia lunch at this posh place that I could never afford. She took him up on his offer in five seconds."
"And that surprised you?" Mike asked.
"Well, I was more surprised to see another Englishman in Southern California," Davy admitted.
"That's not right," Peter said. "You oughta be able to trust your fellow countryman in a foreign land—not lose your girlfriend to him…"
"So who was this Girlfriend-Stealer-from-the-Old-Country?" Micky asked.
"Beats me," Davy said. "He introduced himself to Cyndia as Ricardo Alistair—only he requested that she call him Rico; it was embroidered into his suit." He rolled his eyes. "I ask you, who wears a three-piece suit in weather like this?"
"Rico, apparently," Mike deadpanned.
Peter bit his lip for a moment as Davy let out a sigh and sat down in one of the chairs, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Hey, Davy?" Peter asked, softly. "If it would help you win Cyndia back, I could return the keyboard I just got—you could have the money."
The English boy looked back at the blond in surprise, but then managed a smile.
"No, Peter," he said. "I wouldn't do that to you—not even if it would help me win Miss World. I know how much you've wanted that keyboard."
Peter smiled back.
"I knew you'd say that. See, you're a nice guy; if Cyndia is too stupid to see that, you probably shouldn't even bother. And I'm supposed to be the dummy here…"
"You're not," Davy insisted.
Peter just shrugged it off, even as Micky and Mike also nodded in agreement.
"Well, anyway," the blond went on. "I've got something else that might succeed in cheering you up—something that could cheer all of us up and get us some money in the process, too!"
The others now looked to Peter in interest as he pulled a folded-up flyer from his pocket.
"This was on the bulletin board in the music shop," he said. "Since the auditions are today, the cashier said I could go ahead and take it down from the board. What do you guys think?"
Mike craned his neck to take a look.
"'Open auditions for The Art of Music Rock Festival tonight at 6:00 PM,'" he read. "Those who pass the auditions will be provided with payment for their performance at the festival in… Paris, France'!?"
"Isn't it great?" Peter asked, grinning. "We had such a great time in Paris the last time we were there; we said we wanted to go back again someday, didn't we?"
"Well, sure," Micky said. "But can we afford another trip to Paris?"
"Oh, it's no problem," Peter said. "The guy at the music store said that the chosen acts will be provided a travel stipend."
"It'll probably be deducted from the pay," Mike said, cynical about it.
"And that's no problem, either," the blond immediately responded. "We can save money by saying that there're only three of us, and have the fourth one travel in one of the overhead bins!"
Davy's eyes narrowed.
"Don't get any ideas," he ordered.
But Peter just laughed and gave the English boy a good-natured punch on the arm, and Davy managed to chuckle, too.
"Gotcha," the blond said. "Actually, I was thinking… We could go a day or two early and hop across the Channel to England. You could show us around Manchester."
The words had the effect Peter had been hoping for; Cyndia was forgotten as Davy's eyes glazed over at the thought of seeing his hometown again.
"You know, Pete's right," Mike said, liking the idea. "Mick's shown us all around his old haunts here in Los Angeles, and I took you guys to New Gallifrey, Texas. You two are due to show us around."
"Well, if we ever get to Connecticut, I'll show you around," Peter promised. "What do you say, Davy?"
"I say that I happily accept the role of tour guide," Davy answered. "…Assuming that we pass the audition, of course."
"And why wouldn't we pass the audition?" Micky asked. "We're good, and we know it."
"The question is, does the rest of the world know it?" Mike mused aloud. But regardless of his cynical words, he was feeling optimistic about the whole thing. "Never mind; we'll just have to show them."
"And, man, will we ever show 'em," Micky said, rubbing his hands together in gleeful anticipation. "Come on; let's chow down and get some practice."
"Ah, hold on a sec," Mike said, going to get a plate for Davy. "Looks like it's four for lunch after all…"
He reached into the cabinet for the plate, his elbow brushing against the switch for the new garbage disposal system that Mr. Babbitt had recently installed in each of the houses he had rented out.
The garbage disposal made a shaky, rattling noise, and Mike had barely glanced in that direction when it spewed out a volcano of silverware.
"Hit the deck!" the Texan ordered, diving to the side and covering his head with his hands.
Davy and Micky dove behind the backless couch as a fork was sent soaring over their heads. Peter scrambled under the table, clutching his precious keyboard in his arms. They didn't move until the silverware stopped flying, and it was then that Mike got up and turned the garbage disposal off.
"Peter…" he said, calmly. "This morning, in your understandable haste to get out the door to obtain your new keyboard, you didn't, perchance…"
"…Accidentally threw the silverware into the side of the sink where the garbage disposal was?" the blond finished, going slightly red. "…Yeah, I might've."
"Well, try to be more careful next time, okay?" Mike asked, and then he managed a good-natured smile. "Now that we've got that out of the way, let's eat."
"Now you're talkin'!" Micky said, as he and Davy got out from behind their shelter.
And as Peter crawled out from under the table and Mike placed the food on it, Davy soon found his mind drifting away from stolen girlfriends and flying silverware. Being poor didn't matter, he decided—not when you had people to share it with.
As he looked at their rations, he did have to concede that money was a useful thing, however. And, hopefully, this rock festival gig would provide them with that.

Keep it civil.
Keep it civil.
Because it's supposed to bridge a horrible gap. It's not a gift, it's a balancing tool. If it's not enough, or is flawed, feedback is valuable. For example, in my opinion, is a nice to have, but doesn't quite reach. It's early on the PTR, and they are doing an effort and putting ideas to use, but if there is not enough... It should be voiced.
same here why toss a crap gimmic on this otherwise great ability that they came up with to bring us back up on par with druids pallies monks etc. When a bear is off tanking does his crit from agility go away when he is not hit for 20 seconds? then why would you make that happen to wars and DK's?

my thoughts on this:
i think this change will be gone with the next add-on, its just a temporary thing, cause they didnt find another solution.
Cirt is the only stat they can give us at the moment, haste would be to strong especially on the DK it would lead to more Deathstrikes. AP would be ridiculous, it would be a vengeance 2.0 and the ratio is difficult to choose.
they realised too late that the DPS on different tank classes is really unequal

Serious Wound duration: 60 seconds
Disintegration Beam duration: 60 seconds
From a worst case scenario, you're looking at 100 (120-20) seconds of downtime on Riposte and even more if you're not the one who taunts him after the beam ends.
It was created to mimic monks, paladins and guardians use of offensive stats. Theirs are 100% passive so why can't ours be aswell? How are they ever going to achieve a somewhat decent balance if they keep adding these restrictions?
It does indeed boost our damage but it also creates an annoyance factor where you have to taunt bosses between debuffs when you're not tanking to maintain it.
I actually suspect it has a 20 second duration because of PvP. They can prevent buffs from triggering (i.e. Vengeance) but not actual stats so I bet that's the reason for not making it passive.

I admit, that in fights with great off-times as a tank the buff will wear off, thus, reducing our damage. But perhaps that is just a hint, that developers want us to gem and reforge crit, to have a buff-independend basecrit. An indicator for that may be that Ultimatum change:
Ultimatum now activates from critical hits with Shield Slam instead of a flat 20% chance, and the ability will make the next Heroic Strike or Cleave be a critical hit in addition to costing no Rage.
Riposte is based on dodge/parry ratings and gave me exactly 10,35% while attacking some random mob (no raid buffs +crit or any procs). With Steadfast Talisman it went to around 22% but decreased rapidly as my dodge was being reduced each 2sec via trinket (and it's refreshing itself to lower amount instead of keeping higher one until its done). I must admit that this would really sound better if they would make it passive (even 1/3 of dodge/parry) but with additional option for SS and Rev:
- When you crit you get additional rage from Slam/Rev on top of normal rage
Maybe it could push more heroics in but they r kinda weak anyway..
Thought too, but it's sadly saying "Increase your Critical Strike by 6208" (if that would be % I would get around 19% out of it on top of 5% base). Definitely they should make it passive, specially if that goes by ratings (and like others said, caster fights - hello!?).
Strangely it won't proc higher with Str trinket proc (higher parry 25->33% parry) but that's prolly PTR crap as it does with trinket dodge procs.
Odeanathus is one of those people who get's a job driving the special bus just to make fun of the disabled kids....
I did get parry from str but not parry rating itself that part is true, my bad.

Better not looking at WoL seeing how monks/paladins solo-tank hc bosses doing 100-200k hps while maintaining 400-800k dps. Of course we are not jealous...
@Riposted based on rating not even including str to parry conversion...
LOL /sadface
The prot warrior is pretty sick atm. Someone should start singing "Soft kitty".

From the look of the patch notes, it looks like Riposte is a general warrior/DK ability, not just prot/Blood.
In which case it will more than likely take our dodge/parry rating and not your percent else you'll see arms/fury warriors pulling funny stunts with taunt and die by the sword for a pseudo-recklessness buff.
To be 100% fair I'm not jealous of them making insane DPS/HPS, I just feel sad when (even via exp/skill/playtime) I must be replace (as I won't do competitive DPS as DPS class via to not being that geared) by a Paladin/Monk for solo fights as it helps the guild to kill the boss - faster/easier. If I would be able to compete with them on DPS level it would be skills that are taken into consideration and I think that's why we warriors are such sadface people in this tier, because who wasn't asked if that can reroll Pala or Monk?
They have to adapt that either to be % instead of ratings or make it passive to compensate caster fights, off tanking etc even if thats around +10-15% crit (but with buffs to rage gen and dmg like I said before).

This editorial appeared in the Anchorage Daily News:
Sound off on the important issues at
Laws will go on the books this month in five additional states to help protect consumers from identity theft. That will make more than two dozen states that allow consumers to put a freeze on their files at credit reporting agencies. That simple step can help thwart crooks who try to open accounts under a victim's name.
Pennsylvania is the latest addition to the list. The governor there signed a "freeze" bill last month.
Check the list all you want; you won't find Alaska on it. Legislators should fix that first thing next session.
Several lawmakers tried hard the past two years to convince their reluctant colleagues to pass consumer protection legislation, drafted to fight the growing problem of identity theft. In addition to allowing people to freeze their credit files against inquiries without their permission, the Alaska legislation would have required companies and government agencies - anyone with a database - to notify their customers if a security breach put their personal information in jeopardy.
It was good legislation. Too bad it failed to pass.
First, a lobbyist for a nationwide database company succeeded in stalling the bill. Other companies and even a union griped about some of the requirements. And the Murkowski administration whined and dragged its bureaucratic heels over the possible cost if a state agency were to mess up and have to notify people of a security breach.
Then the bill finally died as Senate President Ben Stevens decided to shoot the legislation while he was feuding with North Pole Sen. Gene Therriault, the bill's co-sponsor. The two Republicans were tussling over unrelated issues, and the identity theft bill became collateral damage.
But Sen. Stevens is gone and there is new leadership in the Senate. Alaska has a new governor, and maybe it's our turn to grab a spot on the growing list of states doing what they can to help consumers. The Legislature returns to work Jan. 16. Let's see this bill be one of the first to win passage next session.

Agar problems..... extremely desperate. - Low-phosphate agar not setting (Apr/12/2010 )
Hi all,
We're at our wits end with regards to this issue we're having at our lab. Trying to make low phosphate citrate (2.4 mg/L) media agar, which is not setting!!!! Have previously used Gibco microbiology agar, which is over a decade old, that has worked and has solidified the media. We've run of that and have tried used a wide variety of brands and none of the agar seem to be setting the media. On top of that the media is precipitating out. Please please please help! If anyone has any ideas why or have experienced similar things we'd like to hear from you. I hope we don't have to age our agar before we can use it for our stuff.
Check the pH of your medium. Low pH medium will inhibit gelling of agar.
precipitation can occur because of the heat during autoclaving and interacting chemical compounds, maybe you should autoclave two or more solutions (i.e. phosphate citrate in water and agar in water) seperatly and mix it after autoclaving when cooled to 50°C. But this depends on the ingredients of your agar.
check pH. If it is not too low like already suggested try to use more agar. not all agar brands have the same quality and purity so increasing the amount of agar often helps.
And are you sure your autoclave is working fine? If the agar is not dissolved properly it will not gel.
Thank you for the replies. Tried adjusting the pH and finally it worked!
