Looking for more information on the United Games FireFan / FanFire app? Checkout my review of something I didn't see coming. Get everything you need to know before you join their affiliate program.
The Fire Fan Sports App is The Hottest New Live & Interactive Sport Game to Hit Both the Apple & Google App Stores for people who live in Clarcona, Florida 32710
If you love sports, not just football, I mean ALL sports, you're going to love playing this new interactive sports app, live as your favorite teams are on the field or court!
Did you grow up playing Madden Football, NASCAR Thunder or NCAA Football? Well the former senior creative art director who helped bring those games to number one in the history of console sports gaming is at it again. Only this time he and his team have created the best way to play on your mobile devices!
United Games Marketing is the parent company of this new app. They are a technology mobile app development company and are out to change the way we interact with live sports!
What makes the FireFan Sports App different from the other sport games you can download today?
You play live as your favorite teams are on the court or field.
Starting with U.S. Football and Soccer, all sports including GOLF!, Rugby, Cricket, Basketball, Baseball, International Soccer, Table Tennis, Racing, Tennis, and more will be available as time goes on.
Players can reach different Achievement Levels based on a point system that will allow them to earn rewards such as, Shirts, Hats, and other Team Swag, Gift Certificates, Electronics, Travel, Game Tickets, and even a Car!
Play by yourself, with a group of friends, or join a league and compete against thousands of sports fans, live!
Social Interaction - Invite your friends to play along and be able to chat within the app in real time with one another.
Socialize with the stars! Fans can play with their heroes, retired and active pro athletes, celebrities, teams, leagues and much more!
Earn lifetime achievement awards by calling the plays in real time and earn points in every game.
Fun for the entire family, this game is not gambling or Fantasy Sports related in any way. It's a better way to play!
Just like most apps in the app stores, Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Clash of Clans etc., FireFan offers several ways to play. You can download this new Sports Mobile App for FREE!
There is a Freemium game model, In-App-purchasing, and Advertising. Tokens are required when answering certain questions for points that can be redeemed down the road. You will have the option to purchase a token, a package of tokens, or watch a 20 to 30 second ad from one of the advertisers to earn a free token.
Getting Started and Setting Up Your Fire Fan Player Profile:
When you first download the free app you will be asked a series of similar questions.
Do you consider yourself a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player?
What are your favorite sports? Check all sports that apply.
Who are your favorite teams?
Next you'll have the chance to pick which games or teams you want to follow and play along with in the upcoming weekend. Since it is the height of football season, let's say you want to watch the Bronco's and Raiders game this Sunday. Now it's time to make your Pre-Game selections by answering a series of questions.
So Sunday rolls around and you're watching the game and all of the sudden your phones goes off, "Bleep" you are presented a live game question. "Will the Raiders pass or run this down?"
You've got 15 seconds to answer for X amount of points. Each series of downs will offer some additional questions. As the game continues, you can visually keep track of your points based on questions answered correctly. If you are playing within a group or league, there is a leader board showing who's ahead.
A little while later another question pops up, only this time it may cost a token to answer. If you have never bought any tokens or watched an ad to acquire some free tokens, you may have the option to do so on the spot. If you chose not to, you'll have to sit this one out and forfeit any points that would have been awarded had you answered correctly.
The Game is Super Fun and Engaging!
You can download this FREE sports app and start playing when it becomes available at http://fanfiremark.com or https://www.firefan.com/?code=FireFanMark
Check out the 1 minute video below to get a better idea of how the game is played!
One of the most exciting things the FireFan sports app is bringing to life is the social element.
Not only can you chat within the app with your friends and other players, you will be able to socialize with your favorite athletes and celebrities. This new sports app's goal is to create a social Facebook for Sports if you will. They are looking to create a place where everything Sports related can be discussed without all the "noise" you see on Facebook.
Searchable "Leagues" within the app will allow you to connect with thousands of players from all across the globe. Celebrities, retired and active pro athletes, sports bars, non-profit organizations and many more will be available and allow you to join in on the fun. How cool will it be to join a league and be able to chat via text with one of your all time favorite sports heroes?
Up until now there has never been a live and interactive sports app this engaging!
Come play with us! Our Sports Fans are on Fire! This App really is the best Mobile Game App on the Market! Enter Player Reward Code: FireFanMark
We will be hosting special game events, playing and competing against one another. Join in the fun, it's free to download and play! See you inside the game!

Drive to always improve keeps Pujols in top tier
ARLINGTON -- To the people who know Albert Pujols best, it's not his strength or quickness or even his plate discipline that dazzles them. Yes, it's true he almost never takes a bad swing and never looks off balance. He seems so locked in and so confident that it's easy to assume the game simply comes easy for him.
When his teammates and managers talk about him, they almost always begin with some example of his relentless work ethic, attention to detail and commitment to improve. Angels manager Mike Scioscia was reminded of it the day after Opening Day when Pujols used a scheduled day off to spend a couple of hours in the batting cage and weight room at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
"First of all, there's not many players I've ever seen that understand their own swing the way Albert does," Scioscia said. "He takes countless swings in the cage, just trying to make sure he's in tune with it. He's works very hard at maintaining it. That's how he's going to stay good."
Scioscia was speaking at the end of a day when Pujols reminded us why he's one of the great players of this generation, not just a great player in terms of production, but a great player in just about every way.
He homered twice Saturday afternoon -- the 476th and 477th of his career -- while serving as the Angels' designated hitter in an 8-4 victory over the Rangers. Both times, Texas pitchers allowed 91-mph fastballs to catch too much of the plate, and Pujols made them pay.
He hit a two-run shot off Rangers starter Matt Harrison in the first inning and then got reliever Jason Frasor for a solo home run in the sixth. Those two home runs, his first two of the season, came on an afternoon when the Rangers also intentionally walked him three times to get to Josh Hamilton.
Meanwhile, Hamilton struck out twice and flied out twice to drop his batting average to .050 in his first week with his new club. Last April, it was Pujols going through some of the same struggles as he tried to get off to a fast start with a new team.
He didn't hit his first home run until the Angels' 29th game of the season and didn't hit his second until the 38th. He still finished with 50 doubles and 30 home runs and understands what Hamilton is going through.
"Obviously, I wanted a great start coming to a new ballclub," Pujols said. "I told you guys toward the end of last season, maybe I put a little pressure on myself. I tried to chase a ball out of the strike zone, tried to do too much."
It's funny how things change. Mike Trout was so dazzling in his rookie season and then the Angels hauled in Hamilton in free agency that Pujols was almost overlooked at times.
That's an incredible thing for a guy who pretty much punched his ticket to the Hall of Fame in 11 seasons with the Cardinals. He won a Rookie of the Year Award and was the National League Most Valuable Player three times. He showed again and again that he had the ability to carry a team in a way few players ever have.
And then came one lousy month and the Angels' missing the postseason. Did last season's slow start motivate him more than usual?
"It always seems like when people doubted me, I like to prove people wrong," he said. "I've been doing that since my first day they gave me the opportunity to become a professional. They said I wasn't going to be in the big leagues. I keep proving people wrong. Every competitor is like that. You don't get too caught up. I love to let my work talk for myself. It's a long season. I never lost that focus. I know what I can do. I know I can play this game."
One of the first things his Cardinals manager, Tony La Russa, noticed about the young Pujols is how he watched everything and asked questions of veterans like Larry Walker, Placido Polanco and others.
"All those guys, they taught me a lot about this game," Pujols said. "Watching guys around the leagues always helps you out. When you play against the best guys in the game, you always love to pick hints from them and ask questions. That's something I always did. I still do it. Thirteen years in the league, it never gets old. I always believe you have room to improve. I don't think I take anything for granted."
Knowing he would get some days at designated hitter this season, he asked David Ortiz for advice. Among the tips -- stay loose and don't take too many swings in the cage before going to the plate.
Now about that off-day in Cincinnati.
"Not that I needed to go take some swings," he said. "We had a day off on Sunday and [played] one game and then another day off. My body felt good to just go to the ballpark instead of staying in the hotel and getting fat watching TV. I thought a little workout wouldn't hurt."

About Nepomuk
This page is dedicated to Nepomuk development ideas, progress, experiments, and is a general starting point for new developers.
For general information about the Nepomuk project see the dedicated Nepomuk homepage.
The Nepomuk project is maintained by Sebastian Trueg of Mandriva.
The "official" IRC channel is #nepomuk-kde on freenode.
All development questions should be discussed on the Nepomuk mailing list.
The Nepomuk page on UserBase has information and troubleshooting for users.
The following links provide good reads for getting used to the Nepomuk system and its APIs.
- Development Tutorials
- Nepomuk Tips and Tricks
- Nepomuk API Documentation
- Soprano (RDF storage) API
- Using the Nepomuk Resource Code generator and the Soprano Ontology class generator in cmake
As Nepomuk is highly dependent on its data in the RDF store and the used ontologies, one might consider to read up on RDF and the Nepomuk ontogies:
June 19-21, 2009 - Coding Sprint 2009 Freiburg, Germany
Open Social Semantic Desktop Workshop 2009 Freiburg, Germany
Nepomuk is a rather young project with a notorious shortage in developers. There are many tasks and subprojects to get ones hands dirty on. Unlike other projects like Plasma, however, developing for Nepomuk is not easy. One has to read up on a lot of things and fight some day-to-day annoyances. But: helping with the development will improve the situation in any case.
If you are interested in working on a task in this list, please contact Sebastian Trueg.
Junior Jobs
If you want to get into Nepomuk development quickly by taking over a small task have a look at our Junior Job page.
Low level Nepomuk Development Tasks
The low-level development tasks are those that are not directly reflected in the GUI or even in the API used by most developers. However, they are important in terms of performance, scalability, and compatibility.
Add Inference Configuration to the Virtuoso Soprano Backend
Virtuoso 5 provides inference on rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf. These are the most important ones and for now all we need in Nepomuk.
The current implementation of the Virtuoso Soprano backend does not enable inference. We need a configuration option to do exactly that. It could happen along the lines of the existing config options or with the introduction of dedicated inference configuration options on the Soprano::Backend level.
Soprano Transaction Support
Soprano is the RDF database framework used in Nepomuk. Currently Soprano does not support transactions, i.e. sets of commands that can be rolled back. An experimental development branch exists which already contains new API for transaction support (while keeping BC).
It still misses an implementation of the transaction support in Soprano backends (Sesame2 and Virtuoso) and in the client/server architecture.
Another idea is to create a new API based on the design that Sesame2 follows: Repository and RepositoryConnection classes. The former creates instances of the latter which then has all the actual data handling methods and acts as one transaction object.
General Nepomuk
Handling of external storage
We already have the removablestorage service in kdebase which handles USB keys and such to a degree.
A typical problem with the way Nepomuk handles files and file metadata are removable storage devices. They can be mounted at different paths on different systems. But still one wants to keep the metadata stored in Nepomuk. If possible one would even want to be able to search for files saved on an USB stick even if it is not plugged in.
The blog entry about removable storage in Nepomuk already discusses this problem and shows some existing code in KDE's playground which tries to tackle this problem.
However, one actually needs more. The system would have to be embedded into KIO to make sure the metadata cache on the removable storage device is always up-to-date. Also it is directly related to the problem of relative vs. absolute file URLs.
Nepomuk Backup Service
Implementation details are discussed in Projects/Nepomuk/MetadataSharing
We need a backup solution. The idea is the typical one: have a Nepomuk service that allows to specify update intervals and manual updates.
The service should ignore all data extracted by Strigi, i.e. data that can be recreated deterministically. This can easy be determined by checking the context/named graph the data statements are stored in. Strigi stores all extracted data in one context which is marked as the http://www.strigi.org/fields#indexGraphFor for the file in question. Thus, a query along the lines of the following would work:
select ?s ?p ?o ?g where { graph ?g { ?s ?p ?o . } . OPTIONAL { ?g strigi:indexGraphFor ?x . } . FILTER(!BOUND(?x)) . }
Other features could include replacement of the home directory like it is done in KConfig. This way the data could be re-imported in another user account.
Nepomuk Toolbox
Provide a GUI that allows to call methods such as optimize and rebuildIndex on the storage service. The latter method is not commited yet due to the KDE 4.3 feature freeze but will be afterwards.
It would also be useful to have Nepomuk register such operations (including the data conversion when changing backends) via the notification system.
Development status
See Projects/Nepomuk/DevelopmentStatus.
There are many ideas on how to improve the Nepomuk system or on how to use it. This is the place to list them all.
Feel free to add your own ideas. Please leave your name in case someone wants to contact you for details or a discussion of the idea.
Use Nepomuk in the KDE Menu
One could think of using nepomuk search in the KMenu to look for applications or even files or persons.
Remember Usage of movie/sound files
Media players such as Dragonplayer or Amarok could remember when movie/sound files have been watched/listened to. The last time is interesting but maybe also a history.
In any case, it allows to quickly access unwatched episodes.
Tool to gather annotation statistics about selected files
Quoting blog comment as an example: "I am using Nepomuk to tag/rate schoolwork from my students. For every paper/file I tag it with seen/unseen and rate it with the actual grade I want to give (0-5). When I have seen them all, I collect the results into a spreadsheet. It would make my life (even) easier if, by selecting a bunch of file I could have a summary (one I could save in some text form) of all ratings/tags for each file in the selection."
One could think of an action in Dolphin (for a first prototype this is always a good idea) which triggers a collection of all metadata which is then layed out according to the user's wishes: html, plain text, odt, whatever.
Add support for qualified links/relations
This is a somewhat low-level idea with no visible results as long as applications don't use it, but I think that having it implemented would allow for some nice possibilities.
Basically, the goal is to have some generic way of attaching a "quality" to any "thing -- property" assignment, in order to cope with the varying credibility/certainty of different meta-data collection methods such as user input, heuristic algorithms, circumstantial guesses, etc. in a transparent and unified way.
This would among other things allow implementing many automatic-data-collection ideas like NLP-support in a more user-friendly (that is: non-intrusive) fashion.
For more details & discussion see Projects/Nepomuk/Qualified Relations Idea.
Folder Cloud in Dolphin/KDirOperator
Using information from the Nepomuk DB about usage frequency of folders (or the files within) it would be nice to have the folders be presented in a cloud. More often used or more important folders would appear bigger.
This is a nice idea originally posted on kde-look.org.
Nepomuk based backup system
Nepomuk has a huge potential for an intelligent backup system. The point here is that Nepomuk could "know" that a certain file on a certain device is the backup of a local file. Then, when the device is available it would trigger an automatic update of the backup.
The user could, for example, just tag a folder with "Backup" (better use a dedicated ontology) and the system would ask where to back it up and perform all the necessary tasks. Backup history and recovery could then be done inside the Nepomuk resource. The key point here is really the fact that the system would "know" what a backup is, recognize one when it sees it and know what to do with it.
Nepomuk based versioning system
This is partly related to the backup system. User should be able to tag a version of a file, a bit like in svn. When opening a file, there could be a list of saved versions, in case user wants to revert changes or something like that.
This could even be combined with automatic detection. For example in email: somebody sends you the second version of a paper which is then saved. It would be great to remember that the new file is the second version of the first one. Then the system could warn if one opens the older version.
File Boxes
There is a nice idea about file boxes which allow to temporarily group files to perform some actions on them here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200461
This could be done using Nepomuk. I am not sure, however, if Nepomuk is really the correct choice here. Maybe a simple kded service and a KIO slave nicely integrated into Dolphin and the file dialog would be sufficient.
Categorize new files
'We already have the fileannotation service in playground. This is the basis for the idea below as it already implements parts of it.
Let Strigi emit a D-Bus signal on new files (only after the initial indexing so we do not get signals for all files) that appear in typical document folders (so we do not get signals on temp and log files and the like).
When a new file appears propose to relate it to the current Nepomuk context (the context service is in playground: a very simple one only maintaining one URI which is the current context and can be any resource. Typically, however, it would be a project or task or event).
Also use the information extracted by Strigi (mostly nie:plainTextContent and nie:description and nie:name) to generate annotation suggestions through Scribo and propose them to the user, too. This could be done via notifications (in a first version) and later in a nicer plasma GUI.
Here rating of the suggestions is important. Nepomuk::Annotation already provides a relevance() method but most plugins' relevance generation code is rather simple and could use improvement.
- If the above "Add support for qualified links/relations" idea were implemented, the user would not have to be bothered to confirm the relation of the new file to the current context. You could just add it as a weak relation ('found by circumstancial evidence'). The user could always confirm it at a later point (e.g. in dolphin) to turn it into a strong relation.
FIXME: add your own ideas
Linking between documents
I usually deal with lots of scientific papers in the form of searchable pdf's. My idea is twofold: 1) Have a 'Google scholar' type search that allows me to see the relations between papers and retrace an idea to its original author. 2) Each paper refers to a few other that I might have already on disk. My idea is to have okular integration such that when I click on a reference it opens the respective file based on author, date, journal, etc.
Push tag clouds on the web
I'd like to save my tag cloud on the web so that when I change computers, I still have my tags. There should also be serveral projects which wikify tag cloud creation and which would serve updates via some kind of RSS feeds. Think of it as some sort of Digg for both online and offline desktop items.
Ideally, eliminate the use of menu toolbars, rather have a powerful semantic search to query for a given functionality/action etc.
Pure semantic desktop environment
A minimalistic desktop environment solely based on semantic search. Ideal for small screens (e.g. netbooks/smartbooks), all functionality is accessed via semantic search, rather than the usual assortment of menus or application icon panels. A rather intuitive UI. The user 'talks' to the computer. In essence this takes the idea of beagle/krunner/gnome-go like idea to the next level. Combined with the replacement of toolbar menus, it makes for an efficient use of screen space with an uncluttered UI, plus shifting the input method more to the keyboard side, which can be beneficial to netbooks/laptops on the move (when you don't want to rely on a mouse)
Link Pictures to Persons
Apple already did it the really fancy way: face recognition + linking of faces to people.
We do not have face recognition yet but we can link pictures to persons. Akonadi pushes the contacts in the address book to Nepomuk as nco:PersonContact instances. We can simply use those to allow linking to images.
In playground we already have peopletag which allows to define a region. It would make more sense to integrate it with Gwenview.
The ontology to use it still an issue. After all we want to easily handle
- The direct link between the image and the person
- The region in the image
Dolphin should be able to display the information, too, i.e. the name of the person, maybe even with a link to the address book.
Automatically annotate system files
The example is wallpapers. Installed wallpapers could automatically be marked as begin of type "Wallpaper". This would also require an ontology which includes the term Wallpaper based on PIMO.

The shape of a lamp once was determined by its power source.
A candle required a holder that kept the candle upright, caught drippings and was not damaged if the candle burned too low. Most early candlesticks were made of metal, and many had drip pans and handles so the lit candle could be moved.
Whale oil and kerosene needed a lamp that had a way to adjust the wick and burned oil in the font, a special ball-shaped container.
In the late 1890s, when electricity was available in many homes, some lamps were designed for a light bulb that could be positioned to direct light down toward the top of a table. But manufacturers also created electric lamps that looked like old-style "kerosene" lamps. They had new parts that included an on-off switch, a light cord and a plug.
Even today some modern electric lamps look as if they were made before 1900.
The Fenton Art Glass Co. started making glass in 1907. It made dishes, bowls, lamps and other molded glass pieces. The L.G. Wright Co. of New Martinsville, W.Va., opened in 1937 and soon ordered and sold lamps made by Fenton and other glasshouses. L.G. Wright also bought old glass molds from several companies. Today there often is confusion about who made a particular piece, about whether the piece is a copy made from an old mold and about the piece's age.
Collectors search for Fenton pieces sold by Fenton, and for Fenton pieces made for and sold by L.G. Wright. The Fenton Art Glass Collectors of America is an active club still researching and collecting the glass. A peachblow L.G. Wright Fenton lamp decorated with painted roses sold a few years ago for $106.
Q: A friend gave me a Burleigh Ware wash set about 20 years ago. It included a basin, chamber pot, covered soap dish and toothbrush holder. I recently found a matching pitcher and second basin at an antique show. All of the pieces are stamped with a beehive mark surrounded by thistles and the words "Burleigh Ware, Estd 1851, B & L Ltd., Made in England, Reg. Trade Mark." Can you tell me when the set was made?
A: The mark on your pieces was used in the 1930s by Burgess & Leigh, a British pottery company. The pottery started using the trade name "Burleigh Ware" in the 1930s, and it continues to use the same trade name today. Burgess & Leigh was founded in 1862 in Burslem, a town in England's famous Staffordshire district. We have seen sets of Burleigh Ware pitchers and matching wash bowls selling online for more than $200.
Q: I inherited a small, antique wall clock a few years ago. The case is wood, and the clock works well as long as I wind it every five or six days. The pendulum swings inside a small extension of the case, which is covered with plain curved glass. The only mark I can find, "Heiss," is on the clock face. Can you tell me something about the maker and the clock's value?
A: A clockmaker named James Heiss was working in Philadelphia in the 1860s and may have made your clock. If it's that old and in good condition, your clock could sell for several hundred dollars.
Q: My grandfather was a photographer for Esquire magazine back in the 1940s and '50s. We have a couple dozen black-and-white photographs of celebrities, and are trying to determine their value. They include photos of the Andrews sisters, Irving Berlin, Bing Crosby rehearsing in a studio, Emmett Kelly performing, Clark Gable smoking as he's walking down a New York City street, Jimmy Stewart sitting in a lounge chair and David Niven in his dressing room after a Broadway performance. We also have the negatives of most of these, but none of the photos are autographed.
A: Your photos have value even without autographs. Plenty of collectors want original vintage photos of movie stars and other famous people. You should contact an auction house that specializes in photographs to ask about selling the photos. The auction probably will want to discuss the history of the photographs with your family and its own legal counsel just to be sure the photos are clearly owned by your family and not Esquire.
Q: Almost 50 years ago, I bought a federal-style secretary-desk from a Salvation Army store in Milwaukee. On the back there's a note that reads: "From Rockford Chair and Furniture Co., furniture manufacturer, Rockford, Ill." Each of the two glass doors on the top has 13 sections, which I have been told represents the original 13 states. Is that true? And can you tell me something about the manufacturer?
A: It is true that early-American cabinetmakers often designed glass doors with 13 sections in honor of the 13 original states. So companies that copied early federal styles copied early door styles, too. Rockford Chair & Furniture Co. was founded in about 1882 by Pehr A. Peterson (c. 1846-1927). He had opened the Union Furniture Co. in the same city in 1875-'76. The Rockford Chair & Furniture Co. continued to make furniture in revival styles until 1950.
Tip: If you have old laces and ribbons, iron them by pulling them over a warm electric light bulb. Limp lace can be washed, then sprayed with starch or sizing. Lace can be colored by a quick dip in tea.

Six community centre associations are considering their next step after the Vancouver park board concluded a vitriolic meeting at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday by voting to go ahead with a controversial revenue-sharing plan.
The plan, approved 5-2 after a meeting so heated that police were called at one point, will see revenues from the city's 20 volunteer-run community centre associations pooled with the goal of making all centres more equitable.
"We now need to have some time to digest this and have thoughtful dialogue about what this means going forward," said Ainslie Kwan, spokeswoman for the six centres battling the plan.
The board says 13 centre associations have agreed to negotiate on the new model, which would see the board control the nearly $1.2 million in revenue from community centre programs. The Strathcona Community Centre Association hasn't indicated yet whether it will participate in negotiations before the July 1 deadline to implement the new system approved by the park board Tuesday.
The six opposing centres maintain their volunteer-run societies are best fit to manage the surplus generated by the centres' programming.
Kwan, president of the Killarney Community Centre Association said she doesn't know what the next step is for the six centres, after an "appalling" meeting that did not address their concerns, including public consultation and time to assess the board's plan.
"If we enter into negotiations after (early Tuesday's vote) and don't have our concerns addressed, it makes it hard to come to the table in good faith," she said.
The board's vote came at an emergency meeting that drew about 300 people to the West End Community Centre and continued until the early-morning hours, despite several calls to stop for the evening. It ended with five Vision Vancouver park board commissioners backing the plan, and two Non-Partisan Association commissioners voting against.
Vision commissioner Niki Sharma said the board voted on a framework for negotiations, adding that staff has yet to begin talks with the community centre associations to reach a deal on how to spend the money.
She said park board staff will hire a facilitator to help with those talks, but did not know when they would begin.
While many of Monday's speakers decried a process they said lacked transparency and responsible communication, Sharma said 13 of the community centre associations are ready to negotiate on the park board's current proposal.
Sharma said she still has hope that the six opposing centres will come to the bargaining table before the July 1 deadline to implement the new system.
Kwan said Tuesday that if the six don't come to the table by July 1, the park board has the authority to cancel the joint operating agreement and the associations would be asked to leave.
"It was appalling to see our elected officials conduct themselves in a manner that is not in the best interest of the citizens of Vancouver," she said of the meeting. "They need to listen to us because we are the ones that we will be working in our communities long after this park board has moved on."
NPA park board commissioner Melissa De Genova, who voted against the plan, was outraged the meeting was continued until long after public transit had shut down for the night, leaving some of the speakers without affordable transportation home.
She put forward a motion to have public consultation and a report back from staff before formal negotiations begin, but it was voted down.
"It is legislation by exhaustion," said De Genova. "It is an embarrassment to the park board. We conduct public consultation on food carts ... so why not this? That I find really strange. How can we move ahead when we don't know what the public wants?"
West End Community Centre Association member Dave Pasin was one of more than 70 speakers who registered at the meeting. He doubted whether the proposal to pool the associations' revenues is the best way to bring equity to centres across the city.
"What's going to happen is you're going to have an inequity in the system, which is going to deprive the system — and when you starve a system of money you're going to have cuts," Pasin said. "(The park board staff) haven't given us any leeway at all.
"This is their model: take it or leave it, it has to be done by July 1."
Kwan's group will continue its $200,000 public relations campaign to raise awareness about the pooling of funds, which Kwan said is a cash grab by the park board and city council, both dominated by Vision Vancouver.
Under the current 40-year-old arrangement, taxpayers pay the majority of the expenses at each community centre building, including the wages of the supervising staff and a lot of the full-time staff, according to Sharma.
The community centre associations get the revenue from the programming that's run out of the centres and pay for some of the part-time staff who run the programming, like dance lessons, she added.
Centres in poorer neighbourhoods are at an inherent disadvantage getting revenue because their patrons can't afford to pay the rates other centres charge, Sharma said.
Meanwhile, Vancouver Green party Coun. Adriane Carr said she fears the park board's proposed changes may alienate legions of community centre volunteers.
She will put forward a motion Feb. 12 asking park board general manager Malcolm Bromley to report back to council within two months on how the proposed changes might affect the city's budget if volunteer numbers drop.
Carr noted that many speakers at Monday's meeting were blunt about the fact that they volunteer for the community, not the park board.
"For the life of me I can't figure out why the park board is alienating our most engaged citizens who have fundraised and volunteered in every community of our city," she said.
"If we as a city want to maintain the programs and facilities at our community centres, and the community centre associations cannot or choose not to continue fundraising because they have been so disrespectfully treated by the park board, the city will have to pick up the costs," said Carr.
Out of the city's 24 community centres, 20 are jointly run with community centre associations. The new Creekside Community Centre is operated by the park board.

Converting From Steam To Hot Water
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2009
Q . Is it feasible to retrofit cast-iron single-pipe steam radiators to work on hot water from a new combined heating/domestic hot water (DHW) system? And if so, would it ever make sense to integrate that into a solar hot water system (SHW)? I've heard that hot water radiators are more efficient than steam in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tom White Home Energy Magazine Steve Greenberg replies: STEVE GREENBERG is a facilities energy management engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a technical editor at Home Energy. A. Such a retrofit is possible, but you might need more area (bigger radiators) if you're using hot water rather than steam, mostly because the water isn't as hot as the steam, and partly because phase change heat transfer (that is, condensing steam) is more effective than convection (that is, hot water in the tubes); note that the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is not the same as system efficiency. But if the conversion is being done at the same time as the house is being tightened (better windows, insulation, and so on), it might work well with the existing radiators. ...

Optimizing Complex Residential HVAC Systems
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
October 31, 2012
With today's escalating energy costs, the residential construction industry is seeing the advantage of automated building controls as a means to help its customers save energy. Home builders, home performance contractors, and HVAC technicians are becoming increasingly adept at including numerous energy sources, such as solar thermal and solar PV, in their residential HVAC designs. The challenge with these controls is to maximize the function of each individual system within the overall HVAC/mechanical design, and to ensure that all systems work in concert with one another. A number of control systems have recently been developed to meet this challenge. The most effective control systems "understand" the sophisticated nature of today's hybrid residential HVAC designs, and fully leverage the capabilities of each component to work in an efficient, effective manner—while delivering as much comfort as possible for the homeowner.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Tired in Rural Oregon," whose kids are slobs and whose husband doesn't care. I told my kids if they didn't pick up their messes, I would hire a "maid." One day, they came home to a clean, organized house. I said the "maid" had come. When I handed out my children's allowance for the week, I took back the money it cost to hire the "maid." I then told them that the "maid" was going to the mall to buy herself something really nice. I came home with a new top and thanked my kids for making the "maid" so happy.
From then on, I just had to remind my kids that if they didn't pick up after themselves, I would hire the "maid" again. — Honolulu Housewife
Dear Honolulu: We love it. Here's more:
From Louisiana: My psychologist said, "You teach people how to treat you." This starts when your children are born. A parent has to tolerate poor behavior from the beginning, or their children would not expect to get away with such deplorable actions.
Illinois: Nagging is not part of a parent's job. Nagging is a contest of wills. At an early age, parents should instill in the child what is proper and correct. There are developmental tasks that a person learns throughout life, and if those tasks are not learned at the critical points, it becomes much more difficult. The parent is not a buddy, but a person who is due respect and obedience. "Tired" should count the days until the kids are 18, and if they don't shape up, invite them to move out.
Georgia: We got our teens to help with chores by making sure their chores were done as a condition for getting to use the car on the weekend.
Missouri: When our children reached the age of 10, they were told to pick up their clothes, make their beds, put their dishes in the dishwasher, help set the table and do other tasks. There was no nagging. If my son didn't put his dirty clothes in the hamper, I simply picked them up, folded them and put them back in his drawers. His breakfast was served on the same dishes he had not placed in the dishwasher the night before. If he didn't put his towels in the laundry, they were used until they could walk on their own.
Wyoming: I agree that my kids' bedrooms were their responsibility, but I would no longer allow them to trash the common areas. If they left dirty dishes in the living room, I assumed they still wanted them, so I would take the dishes to their rooms. If they left toys or clothes in the common areas, I assumed they didn't care about them and threw them out. I had some major backlash, but it worked. It was a joy to see them scrambling around in the morning cleaning up their stuff before they left for the day.
Florida: You were right on when you said to close the kids' bedroom doors and teach them how to do laundry. And enforce the rule that anything left in a common area when you go to bed will be confiscated. They can earn it back by doing chores.
New York: Your advice to close the door to a teenager's messy room is totally wrong. I finally had to move out of my home because of my sloppy 22-year-old stepdaughter's disrespect and her dad's lack of responsibility. He would ask her to please wash her dishes with hot soapy water, but she would use the stale water left in the basin from the night before, and I would have to rewash them. The only way I knew things were clean was if I washed them.

Sigh. Just add alcohol sadly enough. And Testosterone. Not a great combo when their pal Bravado shows up. I've had my share of fun at the games, even times where I tipped a bit back more than I care to admit, but I can't imagine being this out of control and inhumane to other people. To be fair, this occurs in every single stadium and fanbase around the NFL every single game day, but as Seahawks fans, WE SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THIS!
