The first step in writing my Strava app was to make a note of exactly what I wanted it to do. Well, perhaps not exactly: I don't know the capabilities yet of the Strava API. In particular, does the Strava API allow you to replace the data on a ride? Apparently it does, since StravaHaHa allows modification of ride data. Honestly I don't know where the API is documented, but I am deferring that until later. No rush.
So then when I knew what I wanted the program to do, I set out to design some pages. So I measured the screen on my HTC Incredible phone and found it was 5 cm wide by 8 cm high. So I set up an image file using GIMP with 500 pixels wide by 800 pixels high, and for each screen, began "sketching out" how I wanted the page to look. It's different assembling a page from a widget tool kit, so details aren't critical here: I just the look and feel of each page.
When I got tired of doing that, and I was on-line, I started downloading some of the stuff I want for writing the app. For example, this tutorial page provides some nice guidance. First I went to upload my Ubuntu version on my laptop, but my CD player is being cranky, and I can't get the installation CD (written from my work machine: shhh!) to run. Hmm... I'm not going to invest any money in this laptop, however, as it's from 2007: ancient. Instead I think I'm ready to dip my toes in an Apple's OS/X. I'll work on that...
The tutorial recommends Eclipse as a development platform. An alternative is to use a simple text editor. But that seems so old-school: better to use a proper development environment. So I'm just finishing up downloading Eclipse now.
Next I need to download the Java Development Kit. Android apps can be written in C, but Java is more common, and I should follow the best practice. I really like Java, as I noted. But it's been quite a long time since I've done any Java coding.
So time for a Java tutorial. That's easy: Oracle (formerly Sun) has some nice tutorials. So I'm going through those now.
A lot needs to come together for this to work. Honestly I'm not sure I'm going to make my deadline. But I need to stick to it, and by writing here my intent puts some pressure on me to make it work. If I can, I'll feel pretty good about it.
added: Sure enough, Eclipse crashed and burned on my system, which is Ubuntu 9.04: it states it requires 10.04 at least. Hopefully I can get my CD drive working so I can install 11.10. Otherwise I need to wait for that Apple.

After virtually ignoring the nation's biggest environmental issue for years, Republican leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are planning a major hearing on climate change on Sept. 18 and are inviting leaders of 13 federal agencies to testify. It will be the first time since President Obama unveiled his climate action plan in June that administration officials will testify on Capitol Hill about the agenda.
Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., who will preside over the hearing, sent out letters Aug. 6 inviting testimony from leaders of the Environmental Protection Agency; the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Interior, State, and Transportation; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the Commerce Department; NASA; the U.S. Agency for International Development; the Export-Import Bank; and the White House Office of Science and Technology.
In the letters, Whitfield asks nine questions about how each agency devotes its time, money, and resources to climate-change policies and requests each official to include answers in his or her written testimony at the hearing. The subcommittee had asked the agencies to respond by Wednesday about who will testify. By press time Wednesday evening, only the Defense Department had confirmed it will provide a witness, although a Pentagon spokesperson was not able to provide the name. The subcommittee expects to confirm more witnesses in the coming days.
If it provides a witness, EPA will likely be the star of the hearing. Administrator Gina McCarthy had not confirmed by Wednesday evening whether she or someone on her behalf would testify. EPA regulations are the centerpiece of Obama's climate plan, and by the time the hearing occurs in mid-September, EPA should be just days away from announcing draft rules for controlling greenhouse-gas emissions from new power plants. When Obama announced his climate plan in June, he gave EPA a Sept. 20 deadline to announce these regulations, which will be repurposed from ones the agency initially proposed last year.
The hearing, entitled "The Obama Administration's Climate Change Policies and Activities," will touch on the science underpinning global climate change. A draft of a major United Nations report leaked to Reuters earlier this week showed that the panel of scientific experts writing the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report is at least 95 percent certain that human activity — primarily burning of fossil fuels — is the biggest cause of global warming since the 1950s. The IPCC is the primary guide countries use when deciding how to confront climate change.
"The idea is to focus it on the administration's climate-change policy; obviously science is an integral part of that," said a Republican committee aide, who added that it will be "quite a production" covering a wide array of issues related to climate change.
Over the past two years, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Whitfield have ignored numerous letters from Energy and Commerce ranking member Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Energy and Power Subcommittee ranking member Bobby Rush, D-Ill., requesting a hearing on climate change and the latest science surrounding the issue. In the last Congress, the two Democrats sent 21 letters, according to their count. Upton and Whitfield responded to just one of those requests, in March of this year.
"We absolutely should hear from Administration witnesses about the threat of climate change," Waxman said in a statement to National Journal Daily. "We also should be hearing from the nation's leading scientists. Ever since the Republicans took over, the Committee has been AWOL on the biggest energy issue facing the nation. It's an embarrassing record that needs to change."
The agency heads the subcommittee has requested to testify are: McCarthy; Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz; HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius; Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack; Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx; Interior Secretary Sally Jewell; Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel; Secretary of State John Kerry; USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah; Export-Import Bank Chairman and President Fred Hochberg; White House Science and Technology Director John Holdren; NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan; and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr.

I recently bought a purse from a large name department store. The bag is banished to the guest bedroom because it reeks. It will air out there for a month or so. This purse has been soaking in the scents of its store for a while. Many stores are scenting their air with fragrances.
This can be done by large units in air conditioning systems or small motion controlled units hiding under a shelf on a promotional display. There are a lot of companies out there delivering a myriad of devices and smells to businesses, this marketing technique is called ambient scenting and it's taking off.
These fragrance pumping devices are found in stores, hotels, casinos, cruise ships and even public buildings. They may be trying to mask an unpleasant odor or they may be trying to seduce you into spending more of your money. They may also be making you sick, but more on that later.
The concept is to use smells to create brand recognition. A signature scent that may evoke certain emotions or memories. My friend Kelly says that Cover Girl powder has a unique scent to it and when she smells it she instantly recalls Cover Girl and the positive feelings she has towards their makeup. Companies are taking scent branding beyond their products and are using it in their stores and promotional displays.
Most people know that the popular teen clothing store, Abercrombie & Fitch keeps their stores smelling of their cologne, Abercrombie's Fierce. If you walk into one of these stores you will be greeted by their signature scent.
Scent Air, an ambient scenting company, boasts on their website about some of their customers.
- Sony Style Stores – a signature fragrance of "citrus, vanilla and other secret ingredients"
- Westin Hotels & Resorts – entrances use a white tea fragrance
- Four Points by Sheraton Hotels – lobby and common areas smells of "Pinwheels in the Breeze", a Yankee Candle designed signature scent
- Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino – Uses a HVAC system to pump "Coconut Spice" through 135,000 square feet
- Bloomingdale's– Baby Department smells like baby powder, coconut in the swimsuit section, and Lilac fragrance in Lingerie. Seasonal scents like chocolate, pine and sugar cookies waft there as well.
- Hard Rock Hotel Universal Orlando – Smell of "Ocean" in the lobby and "sugar cookie" and "waffle cone" near the ice cream shop.
- Celebration Health MRI facility – smells of "ocean" and "coconut" to relax patients receiving MRI's.
Scent air offers many ways to distribute fragrances from devices that can be hooked up to large building air conditioning systems with intensity controls to point of purchase sprayers that can be mounted on a shelf display and be triggered by motion sensors. Scent air is so high-tech they custom make units large enough for theme parks and the military to use in simulation training. They even created scent distribution devices for street billboards. Scent air is just one of many companies offering ambient scenting devices.
Another company named Prolitec created scents for a large retailer in Europe comparable to Wal-Mart. They created a "Wine Cellar" scent for the wine section and "Nature After Rain" for the checkout line. For hotels, Prolitec claims it turned a pool's chlorine smell into fresh flowers and masked bad tobacco and moldy odor. Prolitec also supplies a major casino in the Southeast with ambient scenting to hide tobacco smells there. Prolitec suggests its products to cruise ships, malls, fitness centers, schools, health care facilities, theatres, and airports. Here are some of Prolitec's clients they have listed on their website…
- Bebe
- Abercrombie & Fitch
- Hollister
- Samsung
- Diane Von Furstenberg
- Hilton
- InterContinental
- Sofitel
- The Breakers
- Palm Beach
- MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
- Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
- Bellagio
- Harrah's
- Bliss Spa
- GE Healthcare
- Lifeline Fitness
- Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
- Henry County Health Center
Event planners may contact another scenting company called Scentevents for their parties. They have quite a list of events on their website which they provided this service. It ranges from weddings to movie premieres to theme parks to museums. They carry a wide range of scents including crayons, rotten fish, fresh-cut grass and bubble gum.
Ambient scenting may just be an interesting marketing technique to most people but it can make some sick. Many people suffer from allergies, asthma, migraine headaches and multiple chemical sensitivities. All of these can be triggered or made worse by fragrances. When someone walks into an establishment there is no way of knowing whether fragrances are being pumped through the air.
I get headaches triggered by fragrances. Trips to certain businesses mean I will be popping Excedrin before the afternoon is over. I thought it was probably the fragrances of the other people in the store but now I suspect it has to do with the fragrances these stores are using. I am now a lot more savvy to this and avoid those stores. I wonder if these businesses even give consideration to people like me. Do they think about the customers they might be losing because their marketing technique makes them ill?
I'm not saying all scents are evil. I enjoy the vanilla wafting through the air from Ben N Jerry ice cream shops. That fragrance does not give me headaches, maybe it's just natural vanilla?
If you are like me and suspect an establishment is using a fragrance that is making you sick, please speak up. Tell the manager. Write the corporation. That business would most likely want to know and if enough people complain perhaps it will create change.
And for those businesses using Ambient Scenting, it would be nice if you disclosed it somehow. A sticker in your storefront window perhaps or a disclaimer on your website. I would love to know before I plan a cruise or book a night at a hotel whether or not they use this kind of scenting. I know this will likely never happen but it really should.
Ambient Scenting is widespread, don't take my word for it…. here are some links to check out and as always your comments are welcome.
If you want to know more about how fragrances can affect your health, how prevalent scents are in our society, or how to have a fragrance free lifestyle please browse other articles on this blog "Smell Inc. The Perfuming of America".

Morillon [1]- is a small mountain commune in the Haute Savoie department of the French alps. The town consists of about 500 year round residents engaged primarily in agriculture and tourist service business. It has recently gained fame as the home town of skier Antoine Deneriaz the 2006 Olympic Downhill Gold Medalist. The town has a 15th century Church that has recently been remodeled, it is also home to a number of small restaurants and a gondola that links it to the Grande Massif ski areas.
Get in[edit]
From Calais, take A26 Motorway towards Reims and Troyes, then Dijon, Mâcon then 'Autoroute Blanche' Motorway (A40 Mâcon – Cluses) Exit Cluses Scionzier. Follow signs to Samoens. After the Chatillon pass, follow signs to Morillon. It takes approximately 15 minutes from the motorway exit to Morillon.
Get around[edit]
Morillon is quite small and once you have arrived you can easily get around on foot, however and especially if you are here in the winter and there is not enough snow to ski you will want a rental car to be able to fully enjoy the surrounding area and keep from going mad having to watch French television.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Skiing, both cross country and downhill are the primary winter sports in Morillon, the resort website provided in both French and English is located here:[2] and covers the ski area in depth as well as the possibilities of linking up on skis with the surrounding areas that comprise "Le Grande Massif."
In the summer they are replaced by hiking, Mountain bicycling, golf and other adventure activities like rock climbing and white water rafting.
The Golf Highlights are[edit]
Adventure Activities[edit]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Being a typical small mountain village there are the rather typical shops:
There is a lively farmers market on Friday mornings in Morillon with local produce, pastries, cheeses, and meats.
Eat[edit][add listing]
With in Morillon and its environs lay a number of very good a well priced restaurants, almost all of them specializing in local dishes or Pizza. Among the best are:
A wide variety of prepared take away food is also available from R.Roux at the far edge of town and the local Hyper-Markets.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
The primary source of accommodation in Morillon is rental chalets and apartments many of which can be booked on the internet and a particularly simple option as many of the owners are British. There is one hotel centrally located in town the Hotel Le Morillon.
Located Down the Valley in Samoëns:
Mid Price[edit]
There are no traditional budget accommodations in Morillon such as hostels or motels due to the size of the town, however if one contacts the local tourist office rooms can be rented from some of the local farmers.
Get out[edit]
There are many easy local day trips from Morillon: by car Chamonix, Les Gets, and Sixt with its pristine Cirque Du Fer-a-Cheval national park and Cascade Du Roget are all easily reachable. Bicycling distance from Morillon is the larger village of Samoëns.

It is long overdue that I give a shout out to Jen Grady who along with her husband Joe,who came along as support staff, came out to the B&B this past year and took many of the photographs that currently adorn our website. They are alot of fun, bouncing ideas off of one another, seamlessly working together. I found them to be professional and very willing to collaborate with me in regards to what I wanted for the photos as well as not bashful about asking for props and different things to set the stage and invite you in to the photograph. I found many of the pictures they took to be engaging and inviting which is certainly what we were looking for. Jen, who formerly was with Stepping Stones Photography, now has her own website and blog. Take a moment to check it out http://www.jgradyphotography.com/ http://jgradyphotography.blogspot.com/, and also take the time to check her out on Facebook as well. Jen rocked our photos and I hope that she will return in the future to once again cast a knowledgable and creative lens on our bed and breakfast and bring the beauty of it to the foreground.

Beyonce Bikes to Her Last Show at Barclay's Center
No chauffeured rides, limos, swaggy SUVs or rickshaws for Beyonce!
The Queen Bey actually biked to her last show in Brooklyn over the weekend, sharing a collage of photos from her trip through the boro.
Bey gushed: "I biked to Barclays for my last show in Brooklyn!"
It's refreshing that she decided to take in local scenery on her way to work, just like millions of Americans and more specifically, New Yorkers.
We bet Jay Z was proud.

Never met a mechanical disc brake I've liked or thought worked well, until maybe now. Hayes Components insists their ball and ramp system works the best and patented them in 06.
After manufactured a batch, they sat on them for a few years until the UCI approved discs for Cross. They're shipping now with an MSRP of $70.00. Ridley is spec'ing them on 3 bikes this year with more expected soon from other manufacturers.
We'll have them on test soon with a follow-up post.

February 2012 4xForwardPosted in Features on February 1, 2012
Last month I gave you a brief rundown on a recent 4x4 trip I found myself on. I had no intention of being out late, or getting stuck, or anything else but having fun when I turned onto that unmarked asphalt road in the desert. After all, I had plenty of time to get to my appointment. But stuck is exactly what I was.
You see, almost all modern rigs revert to the default settings on traction control, ride heights, and the like when they are shut down. It so happened that those default settings weren't what I desired for the soft sand I had parked in with a full load and full tires somewhere in the southwestern desert. The LR4, which had so confidently blasted across the dunes and trails, splayed out like a lizard in the sand with its belly on the bottom and the legs of the mud tires grappling for traction in midair. Compounded by my parking slightly uphill (duh) and failing to reset all of the vehicle's parameters, I had buried the LR in 108-degree heat far, far from civilization.
Of course, our cardinal rule is never go by yourself and always tell someone where you are going. And since I rarely, if ever, know where I'm going and no one would follow me anyway, I was gloriously on my own. Now, I could have taken the spare, dug a hole, and used it as an anchor to winch myself out with the Warn PullzAll I had in the back, but the LR tire is under the rig, already buried in the sand, and I failed to pack a shovel. Instead, I took out the half-size Hi-Lift used on the Supersonic DED tour (Oct. '10) and jacked up the ball hitch to move the rear end out of the sand. Too bad the air suspension kept up with the Hi-Lift and kept pushing the tires and offending A-arms back into the sand!
Ah, modern technology. Finally, I yanked a small stick from the sparsely covered ground and simply let the air out of the tires. Counting to 100 approximated 10 pounds per tire, even though the short sidewall looked dangerously close to the rim, as I knew it was the only way out. I also knew I had sufficient food and water for about three days and that I could walk to the highway in the cool of the evening if needed. After all, this wasn't my first rodeo. How do you think I learned how to survive, by a book? No, practical experience was key here. Even though I missed that critical step of shutting down my ride in the first place, I was still confident of either extricating the beast or heading out on foot to civilization.
With near-flat tires and nanny settings reloaded into the LR4, I cleared the sand from under the most offending parts down below and settled into the leather-clad interior. It was make or dig time. After slurping through nearly a gallon of water I was looking for that make part. Sure enough, a blip of the throttle in reverse brought the beast to the hard-packed rocks behind me, like I had never even been stuck. Simple as that, I turned and headed back to the highway and actually made my appointment. But I still wish I was back in the dunes—that was more fun than anyone deserves!

As many as 70 percent of us don't get enough sleep—and have the dark circles to prove it. The 27 most effective ways to wind down at night, rev up in the morning, and feel your best all day long.
In a perfect world, we would never need alarm clocks. Not only would we effortlessly conk out the moment our heads hit the pillow, our eyes would spontaneously open at the same time every day, and we would spring enthusiastically from our beds as chirping bluebirds alighted on our fingertips. As if. In reality, less than 30 percent of people in one survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported getting the rest they need every night—not that this statistic is anything to lose sleep over. Experts have a wealth of tips for the chronically fatigued. This is your wake-up call.
A few tweaks to your evening ritual will make mornings a whole lot easier.
• Snack yourself to sleep. Eating a small carbohydrate-heavy snack with a bit of protein one to two hours before bed will trigger your brain to produce the calming neurotransmitter serotonin, says New York City nutritionist Joy Bauer, author of Joy Bauer's Food Cures (Rodale). Her favorite sleep inducers: a scoop of light ice cream with berries, or a rice cake with a slice of turkey or a teaspoon of peanut butter.
• Chill out (for real). Keeping your body cool at night signals it to fall into a deeper, more restful sleep, says psychiatrist Sara Mednick, author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life (Workman Publishing). Turn down the thermostat in your room to 68 degrees, she says.
• Ditch your beeping alarm. "The loud sound that wakes you up from deep sleep is too much of a transition for the brain and body," says Mednick. "Your brain is still moving very slowly and can't adjust to the fast, bright waking world. It can take 30 minutes to an hour to fully clear your head." She recommends replacing a conventional alarm clock with one that "wakes you up gradually, either with light or with gongs that start very quietly," she says. (Most come with quirky names like Peaceful Progression or the Zen Timepiece.)
• Don't light up. Keep digital clocks out of view, urges Mednick—who adds that lights blinking on your BlackBerry, computer, or television can also disrupt slumber. Even worse, a visible clock can be a stressful reminder of how much time you've spent tossing and turning, which can make it harder to sleep peacefully. So can exposure to bright light during your two-minute trip to the bathroom. "Even a little light can decrease melatonin levels, making it difficult to fall back to sleep," says Mednick.
• Watch out for Sunday night insomnia. Yes, it can be caused by workweek dread. But more often it's the result of erratic sleep behavior on the weekends—when you're more likely to stay out until 2 a.m. and lounge in bed past 10 the next day. The solution, says Michael Thorpy, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, is to put yourself on a sleep schedule and stick to it seven days a week. "It's the single most important thing you can do to improve your energy level," he says.
Waking up is hard to do—not even the kindest alarm clock will change that. When throwing the covers over your head isn't an option, these tricks will propel you up and out.
• Don't procrastinate. Slapping the snooze bar only postpones the inevitable— and leaves you with the kind of fragmented sleep that makes you feel groggy. Set the alarm for the time you really have to get up, and place the clock across the room— so you're forced into the vertical position.
• Hit the gym. "Exercise increases blood pressure and heart rate and activates the whole sympathetic nervous system,"says Thomas Plante, professor of psychology at Santa Clara University in California. For those with no major cardiovascular problems, "this wakes you up and gives you a healthy boost in the morning." The most energizing workouts, according to Plante's research: solo outdoor activities, which expose you to energy-boosting sunlight and "aren't so draining, because you don't have to worry about keeping up conversation."
• Give yourself goose bumps. We weren't very excited to learn that a cool shower is better than a warm one. But Mark Mahowald, professor of neurology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, says that simply making your shower a few degrees cooler will increase alertness. And if you're daring, some neuroscientists theorize that taking a truly cold shower (68 degrees) could increase levels of betaendorphins and produce a sense of well-being, says Orly Avitzur, a neurologist in Tarrytown, New York, and editor in chief of the American Academy of Neurology website. Adding a peppermint body wash or shampoo to the mix puts even more spring in your step, says Rachel Herz, author of The Scent of Desire (William Morrow) and visiting professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University Medical School. (She cocreated Scentology Endurance Enhancer, an energizing peppermint-based fragrance.) "Numerous studies have shown that people are stronger, faster, and more attentive after exposure to peppermint," according to Herz. One such study, at Wheeling Jesuit University, found that athletes exposed to the scent could do more push-ups.
What we eat and drink in the morning is extra-important because breakfast can provide either a long-lasting energy boost—or just a short-lived jolt that leaves you yearning for bed by noon.
• Start drinking. Down two eight-ounce glasses of plain water as soon as the alarm goes off. "We all wake up dehydrated," says Susan Kleiner, a dietitian and author of The Good Mood Diet (Springboard Press). This is a problem, considering that every biochemical reaction—all of our thinking processes and our muscle contractions—depend on us having enough water.
• Get your omega-3's. These fatty acids "are critically important in improving brain function, energy, and mood," says Kleiner, who has been known to add omega-3-rich salmon to her morning omelet. Taking a 1,000- to 1,500-milligram supplement every day may also produce energizing benefits in a week.
• Resist the baseball-size bagel. After providing a quick spike in blood-sugar levels, simple carbohydrates leave you even more sluggish than before. Instead, try a protein shake or a slice of whole-wheat toast with fruit and cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, or have the toast with an omelet, says dietitian Susan Bowerman. Eggs are also rich in choline, which helps the brain make the concentration-boosting neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
• Try some caffeine. The stimulant not only inhibits the body's chemicals responsible for drowsiness, but it also prompts the release of adrenaline, which speeds heart rate, opens the lungs' breathing tubes, increases blood flow to the muscles, and causes the liver to release sugar into the bloodstream. An eight-ounce up in the morning (or about 50 milligrams of caffeine) is enough to kick-start most people into the land of the living, according to Thorpy. Just steer clear of those fat- and sugar-laden milk shakes masquerading as coffee. The best brew is a latte, says Kleiner: "The protein and carbohydrates in milk are ideal for fueling the brain and muscles."
If you fight off sleepiness in the morning only to have it return full force after lunch, you've got company—The New York Times reported that an estimated 15 to 20 percent of us take a daily catnap. (The body's circadian rhythm shifts into rest mode around 2 or 3 p.m.) Taking a 20-minute nap can restore energy without leaving you feeling groggy. Then again, it could also get you fired. Here, some ways to wake yourself up instead.
• Take a walk…and not just to the coffee machine. The energizing benefits of exercise apply at any time of the day, says Plante, who claims a brisk stroll around the block can reinvigorate your mind and body as well as a double espresso. (The former is arguably even more effective, because its rousing effects last longer and won't impact your sleep later that night.) "Our studies show that even ten minutes can give you the boost you need," says Plante.
• Hit the (water) bottle. Mental and physical energy plummet when you're even mildly dehydrated, says Kleiner. Drink more water than coffee, which in excess can act as a diuretic. As for those colorful energy cocktails of taurine, ginkgo, and creatine billing themselves as rocket fuel, "they're expensive candy," Kleiner says. "It's probably the sugar and caffeine that give you the jolt—and will also cause you to crash a few hours later."
• Snack smarter. "When you're tired, it's best to choose foods that give some carbohydrates to lift your blood sugar, plus some protein to sustain you," says Bowerman. Her top picks: a carton of yogurt, a piece of string cheese with whole-grain crackers, or a half-cup of cottage cheese with fruit. Even the office vending machine offers a few options. Trail mix will keep you going until dinnertime, provided you "eat just the nuts and dried fruit, not the coated raisins or chocolate chips," says Bowerman. "The next-best bet is an oatmeal cookie—at least you'll get a few whole-grain oats. Have one with some low-fat milk."
Yet another reason to abandon your vices: They can help prevent you from getting a good night's rest.
• Too much caffeine. This one's obvious. But what may be surprising is exactly how long the caffeine from coffee, tea, and cola stays in your system. You need to cut yourself off at least eight hours before bedtime to be safe, says Bauer. And keep in mind that eating a lot of chocolate late in the day can also keep you hopped-up at night.
• Nicotine. If you must smoke, have your last cigarette of the day at least four hours before bedtime, says Thorpy.
• Alcohol. The drink that helps you drift off is likely to make you toss and turn hours later, says Mahowald. For some, even one glass of wine can corrupt sleep quality. But for most, it's downing several drinks that will lead to increased alertness as the alcohol leaves the bloodstream—which could be at 3 a.m.
• A big meal. "A food hangover is almost as bad as an alcohol hangover," says Bauer, who cautions that the bloating caused by eating a plate of steak frites at night will leave you feeling sapped the next morning. A high-protein meal can make the body feel more alert, too, says Bowerman, who advises having a high-carb dinner instead.

The first product from Agriliance LLC uses a soybean by-product as a main ingredient to help reduce hog manure odors. Called Barrier, the new odor mitigation aid is a liquid that is poured directly on top of stored manure to create a barrier that seals in gases.
The product was tested for three years in field trials and at Iowa State University, the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University. Various types of hog facilities and ventilation systems were tested in different environmental conditions.
According to product manager Mark Schoenfeld, the university tests show that using the liquid on manure can reduce hydrogen sulfide by 75% and ammonia by 40%.
"In pits, once Barrier is poured over manure, it floats to the surface to reduce the amount of gases, and no agitation or stirring is necessary," Schoenfeld says. It also may be added to manure in application equipment for field application.
The soybean by-product used in the product is acidulated vegetable oil, which is left over after refining for soy oil. The by-product also is used for high-energy animal feed.
"If we could get just 10% of the country's finishing facilities to use Barrier, we would need about 60 million bushels of soybeans to produce enough by-product to make Barrier," Schoenfeld claims.
He says that another contributor to livestock odor is livestock dust particles, which attach to air molecules and are carried off to other areas.
One gallon of Barrier treats 2,000 gal. of stored manure. One application per month is suggested. Suggested retail price for a 2½-gal. jug is about $25. For more information, contact Agriliance, Dept. FIN, Box 64089, St. Paul, MN 55164, 651/451-5151 or circle 218.

Come out and enjoy "Dollar Night" on Monday
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 13, 2011) - Seniors Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.) will play their final home game Monday night when the Lady Bucs host Jacksonville inside the MSHA Athletic Center. Tip is set for 7 p.m.
The Lady Bucs - who have won seven straight and 19 of their last 21 home games - bring a record of 15-10, 12-4 into Monday's matchup with the Dolphins. A win against Jacksonville would guarantee ETSU a program-best sixth straight winning season.
ETSU is coming off a 74-52 victory over North Florida on Saturday as junior guard Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) netted a career-high 24 points and Belcher recorded her ninth career double-double - finishing with 14 points and 11 rebounds. As a team, the Blue and Gold out-rebounded the Ospreys 49 to 45 and scored 17 points off 17 UNF turnovers.
Belcher and Davis have meant a lot to the Lady Buccaneer program as they have totaled 2,116 points, 1,054 rebounds, 541 assists, 454 steals, as well as making three consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament. The dominate duo have also excelled in the classroom as they both were selected to the Atlantic Sun All-Academic Team. Belcher - who has already graduated last spring - has played in 118 games (78 starts) and has recorded 1,055 points, 725 rebounds and 241 steals in a Lady Buccaneer uniform. Meanwhile, Davis has been the spark behind ETSU's championship run over the last three years, as she has posted 1,061 points, 421 assists, 329 rebounds and 213 steals in 119 games (88 starts). The nursing major is also the third player in ETSU history to record 1,000 points and 400 assists for a career.
Jacksonville is coming off a 72-68 loss at USC Upstate Saturday evening and enters play with a mark of 11-13, 6-9.
The Dolphins - who have four players averaging double figures in scoring - are led by senior forward Taneskei Richardson's 10.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per contest. As a team, Jacksonville is posting 65.7 points, while allowing its opponents to record 67.5 points per outing.
The Lady Bucs lead the all-time series, 12-1, and have won nine straight in the series. ETSU used strong free throw shooting to defeat JU last month in Jacksonville, 69-62. The Lady Bucs went 25-of-30 at the free throw line - including Davis going 16-for-18 at the charity stripe inside Veterans Memorial Arena. The Blue and Gold have won all four meetings in the Dome, but ten of the 12 all-time meetings have been decided by nine points or less.
Monday is also "Dollar Night" so fans who bring two canned food items to the Dome receive $1 admission; while everything in the concession booths are only $1 as well. One lucky student will also win a Playstation3 and a $100 gift certificate to be used at the ETSU Bookstore.
Fans unable to make the trip to the Dome can listen to all the action on WXSM-AM 640 as Voice of the Lady Bucs John Stevens will carry the play-by-play. Monday's game will also be broadcast live on A-Sun.TV and live stats will be provided on Gametracker.

Let's start with the story behind "We're the Millers," the new comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis.
The writers of the very funny "Wedding Crashers," Bob Fisher and Steve Faber, came up with the idea and wrote the first drafts of "The Millers," about a small-time drug dealer who uses a fake family as cover for one major score. Sean Anders and John Morris, who crafted "Hot Tub Time Machine" — also funny, also raunchy — finished the script.
What's mystifying is why anyone thought combining these two writing teams' sensibilities made sense.

Revision as of 00:05, 16 March 2012
Wiki Monkey is a MediaWiki-compatible bot and editor assistant that can be used directly within wiki pages in the browser. Wiki Monkey is run as a Scriptish script for Firefox and can be easily extended through the creation of plugins, exploiting its high-level API.
The project is currently focused on ArchWiki, and as such most plugins address ArchWiki-specific problems.
Make sure you have installed Scriptish for Firefox.
Now just click on the link of one of the following Wiki Monkey configurations and Firefox should ask you to install it:
- Editor: provides manual-editing aid functions in editor pages, like automatic style fixes
- Patrol: Editor + quick-report functions in diff pages
- Bot: Patrol + automatic operations on list pages
Otherwise you can create your own configuration.
Automatic updates
If you want to enable automatic updates, open Firefox's Add-ons Manager (Tools -> Add-ons), select User Scripts, right-click on Wiki Monkey and choose Show More Information, then set Automatic Updates to On.
Tour of the features
After installing the desired version of Wiki Monkey, start visiting the editor of this very page, you will find Wiki Monkey's interface right below the Save page button row. As you can see there are some buttons, each of which will execute a plugin action (see Bundled plugins for detailed information):
- Fix header reorders the elements in the header, warns about possible problems (e.g. lack of category), adds Template:i18n if it is missing and so on.
- Use code templates replaces
<tt>with Template:bc and Template:ic, taking care of adding numbered parameters or
<nowiki>tags when necessary.
- Expand contractions expands some common English contractions, e.g. "don't" becomes "do not".
- Multiple line breaks compresses multiple empty lines into one.
- RegExp substitution lets you perform a regular expression substitution.
By pressing one of them, the text in the editor will be modified, but note that the page will not be saved, so you will still be able to see the diff or the preview and perform other modifications manually. The Execute row and Execute all buttons are used to execute more plugins one after the other, thus saving some clicks.
At the bottom of Wiki Monkey's interface you will always find the log area, on dark background, where Wiki Monkey and its plugins will output their messages.
Now, if you have installed the "patrol" or "bot" configuration, visit Special:RecentChanges and select a diff from the list: right below the diff panes you will find Wiki Monkey's interface. Here the bundled plugins are:
- Quick report adds a row with a link to the visited diff in a specialized table of a predefined article, see User:Kynikos/RC Patrol for an example.
- Save discussion does pretty much the same thing in another article but with less details, and can be useful to save a discussion for replying later, see User:Kynikos/Discussions for an example.
At this point, if you have installed the "bot" configuration, visit Special:SpecialPages: at the top of the page you will find those plugins that have a generic purpose and are not based on a specific page: the only currently available plugin is a function to update Table of Contents pages.
Finally, if you have installed the "bot" configuration, visit the What Links Here page of this article: right at the top you will find Wiki Monkey's bot interface, whose usage is explained in the upstream documentation. The only currently available plugin is a regular expression substitution function.
Of course any help in the resolution of bugs or the development of new plugins is appreciated: if you are interested, send an email to the original author (or use his talk page) and urge him to finally complete the documentation about the development of plugins, which is actually quite straightforward.

The "lost" memory is _not_ being used as buffer cache. Instead it is unreferenced pages that the VM subsystem either takes a long time to put on the free list, or are lost for all time. This can be demonstrated by running a program that consumes a large amount of data memory e.g. 1.5GB on a 2GB system used for intermediate results. When you run the same program a second time, there isn't enough free memory and random processes are killed because of the memory shortage. Most Linux users don't notice this flaw because they run many smaller programs that easily fit into the memory of a 2GB box.

A cranial
Alternative Names
Brain CT; Head CT; CT scan – skull; CT scan – head; CT scan – orbits; CT scan – sinuses; Computed tomography – cranial
How the test is performed
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner.
While inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you.
A computer creates separate images of the body area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of the head area can be created by stacking the slices together.
You must be still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
Complete scans usually take only a few minutes. The newest scanners can image your entire body, head to toe, in less than 30 seconds.
How to prepare for the test
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on x-rays.
- Contrast can be given through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. If contrast is used, you may also be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours before the test.
- Let your doctor know if you have ever had a reaction to contrast. You may need to take medications before the test in order to safely receive it.
- Before receiving the contrast, tell your health care provider if you take the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage). You may need to take extra precautions.
If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Some machines do.
You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
How the test will feel
The x-rays produced by the CT scan are painless. Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through a vein may cause a slight burning feeling, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. This is normal and usually goes away within a few seconds.
Why the test is performed
A cranial CT scan is recommended to help diagnose or monitor the following conditions:
- Birth (congenital) defect of the head or brain
- Brain infection
- Brain tumor
- Buildup of fluid inside the skull (
hydrocephalus) Craniosynostosis
- Injury (trauma) to the head and face
- Stroke or bleeding in the brain
A cranial CT may also be done to look for the cause of:
Changes in thinking or behavior
Headache, when you have certain other signs or symptoms
Hearing loss (in some patients)
Symptoms of damage to part of the brain, such as vision problems, muscle weakness, numbness and tingling, hearing loss, speaking difficulties, or swallowing problems
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
Abnormal blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation)
Aneurysm in the brain
Bleeding (for example,
chronic subdural hematomaor intracranial hemorrhage)
Bone infection
Brain abscessor infection
Brain damage due to injury
Brain tissue swelling or injury
Brain tumor or other growth (mass)
Cerebral atrophy(loss of brain tissue)
Hydrocephalus (fluid collecting in the skull)
Problems with the hearing nerve
Stroke or
transient ischemic attack(TIA)
What the risks are
Risks of CT scans include:
- Being exposed to radiation
- Allergic reaction to contrast dye
CT scans use more radiation than regular x-rays. Having many x-rays or CT scans over time may increase your risk for cancer. However, the risk from any one scan is small. You and your doctor should weigh this risk against the benefits of getting a correct diagnosis for a medical problem.
Some people have allergies to contrast dye. Let your doctor know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to injected contrast dye.
- The most common type of contrast given into a vein contains iodine. If a person with an iodine allergy is given this type of contrast,
nausea or vomiting, sneezing, itching,or hivesmay occur.
- If you absolutely must be given such contrast, your doctor may give you antihistamines (such as Benadryl) or steroids before the test.
- The kidneys help remove iodine out of the body. Those with kidney disease or diabetes may need to receive extra fluids after the test to help flush the iodine out of the body.
Rarely, the dye may cause a life-threatening allergic response called
Special considerations
A CT scan can reduce or avoid the need for invasive procedures to diagnose problems in the skull. This is one of the safest ways to study the head and neck.
Other tests that may be done instead of Cranial CT scan include:
MRI of the head
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan of the head
- Skull x-ray

EC Credit Control has provided Debt recovery services throughout Australia and New Zealand since 1989. An existing Newcastle-based client of mine who works in the construction industry had been successfully using our debt recovery service, which is a voucher system based on a "No Collection, No Commission†remuneration, for a number of years.
The issue that I highlighted to this client a while ago was that their Terms of Trade did not include the necessary key clauses which legally allowed for their debt recovery costs to passed onto the debtor, along with administration fees, cheque dishonour fees and even interest. Hence the client was only receiving the recovered amount less commission and not including the other items. In other words they were missing out on collecting even more money from their debtor! This can have a severe impact on the profitability of any business.
After sitting down with my client I arranged for Terms of Trade to be drafted by the EC team that was tailored to suit their business. The new documentation includes all key credit management clauses, so that now my client is able to collect the full amount plus debt recovery costs, administration fees and any interest owing on top of the original outstanding amount. The debtor is now liable for all of this.
At a meeting with me last week the client summed up the benefit to his business when he stated "we originally were not in a position to put the Terms of Trade in place, but since we have been operating with them, they have paid for themselves many times overâ€.
EC Credit Control services include: Terms of Trade, Debt Recovery, Credit Management documentation, PPSR assistance

DSL High Speed Internet Service
Digital Subscriber Line, which is better known as DSL, used telephone lines in order to provide broadband internet in Ramsey, MN. While it uses phone lines just as dial-up does, the speed tends to be significantly faster. Also, using DSL does not tie up your telephone line the way that dial-up does. DSL is like cable and satellite broadband services in Ramsey in that it requires a modem that is connected to the hub in order to work. Set-up is easy, because DSL uses your existing home phone line. There is no additional wiring required. Major providers of DSL high speed internet service are AT&T and Verizon.
Fiber Optic High Speed Internet Service
The newest option in the world of high speed internet service is fiber optic high speed internet. This service is faster than older technologies. However, since it is a newer option, it is not yet available everywhere in the U.S. This service uses fiber optic cables to transmit data. The cables are more reliable than older technologies. Verizon FiOS is currently the only option for high speed internet that is 100% fiber optic. Comcast and AT&T are two other options for fiber optic internet service.

Sound Advice
The first step is to have your hearing evaluated by a hearing professional. Once the hearing evaluation is complete, the average hearing loss is calculated to see whether or not the loss may be compensated. The longer the person has been out of the noisy workplace the greater degree of hearing loss is required.
A hearing loss questionnaire is then completed. This covers details of the person's work history, the equipment and machines that were used, and the noise that he or she was exposed to. Past hearing tests and any hearing aid purchases are also noted. A medical release of information form is also signed. All of these records are forwarded to a worker's compensation attorney. One such attorney is Douglas Johnson of Johnson Law Offices in Evansville, Wisconsin. He specializes in worker's compensation for hearing loss. This is the only type of worker's compensation case Johnson Law Offices handles. Workplace noise and hearing loss is what they know best. The attorney contacts the place of employment and hearing health care providers for copies of any previous hearing tests. It is my understanding that the hearing test which was performed closest to the day one left the noise is used to calculate benefits. An examination by an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist may be required to verify the type of hearing loss one has, making sure there are no underlying medical conditions causing the hearing loss.
Employment history is then verified. Upon occasion sound studies of the workplace are done. Once all the evidence is gathered it is presented to the insurance company that was providing worker's compensation at the time of employment. They are responsible for payment should the loss be deemed compensable, based on the hearing loss and the actual level of noise in the environment. Some people are concerned that this involves a lawsuit against their former employer. Wisconsin's worker's compensation system is a no-fault administration system which requires no finding of employer fault and requires no lawsuit.
The final step is to wait until a determination is made. I've seen cases with larger claims take more than a year. Is it worth the wait? Absolutely! Workers compensation often pays for past, present, and future hearing aid expenses, in addition to the disability payment for the hearing loss itself. Johnson Law Offices says: "Tax free compensation can exceed $50,000, plus money for hearing aid(s). Overall compensation in the range of $3000--$7,500, plus payment for hearing aids is common. Compensation of $10,000-$15,000 is not unusual. It takes on average 4-6 months to secure payment."
For assistance determining if you qualify for workers compensation for hearing loss call Welsch Hearing Aid Company at 452-0213 or 1-800- 924-2101 to schedule your FREE hearing test today! In Wisconsin it's rarely too late!

Building your website into what is called a Hub Site is not something that occurs to many webmasters. While Hub Site is not as well known as its equally important cousin the Authority Site, achieving Hub Site status will propel your site to the top of the Google search engine rankings.
Note that a hub site can also be an authority site, while an authority site can also be a hub site, although but not necessarily so. The two Google designations are not mutually exclusive. An authority site is largely based on an abundance of incoming links, large page numbers, huge amounts of content, and high Google PageRank.
A hub site is based on having large numbers of outgoing links, along with the other features of the authority site. Because a site can have both large numbers of incoming and outgoing links, a site can be both a hub site and an authority site at the same time.
To start on the road to constructing a hub, it's best to start thinking in terms of linking. Forget any preconceived ideas about gain and loss of Google PageRank. Hub sites are based almost exclusively on their linking factors. As we will see, the linking out from your hub site is equally as important as adding incoming links.
A hub should be seen as almost as an Internet train station, with incoming and outgoing tracks. Those link tracks can lead just as easily to a direct competitor to your business, as to a web page with a similar theme. In many ways, the various Internet directories, like the Open Directory Project or the Yahoo! Directory, are almost ultimate hub sites. Both feature numerous incoming and outgoing links making them terminal stations and hub sites.
You should seriously consider turning your existing website into a hub site. The additional boost to your Google ranking will be enormous. Your site will rise much higher in the search rankings than other related and similarly themed sites. They will lack your site's abundance of incoming and outgoing thematic links.
Your site's staying power, through possible algorithm changes, should be infinitely stronger as well. Once the hub status is accorded to your site by Google, the accompanying high search rankings are less likely to be removed. That is the power and the attraction of achieving hub site status.
{mospagebreak title=To be a Hub you Have to Think Links}
Becoming a hub site is first and foremost about linking. That link thought must extend beyond the ordinary thoughts of simply collecting inbound links. The hub site mode of thought extends much farther. It includes linking out to a huge number of theme related sites as well. Those outbound links may even include your own business competitors.
For many webmasters, the idea of linking out to large numbers of sites is often the opposite of their ingrained ways of thinking about links. When most people think in terms of linking, they have visions of an unlimited number of incoming one way links, pouring traffic and Google PageRank into their sites.
A hub site is designated by having numerous outbound links to other related sites. In that sense, developing a hub site runs counter to conventional thinking. A hub site webmaster thinks outside that box.
A major problem facing a webmaster seeking to create a hub site is to find and attract incoming theme related links. To achieve that goal, a website owner must provide high quality content that is both interesting and informative to attract unsolicited inbound links. Incoming links are required to build up PageRank, and to gain link popularity to move up the search engine rankings.
The incoming links difficulty can be solved the old fashioned way. The solution is always to add as much informative and useful content as possible. In fact, to gain authority status, along with hub status, abundant content is absolutely essential. For seekers of the hub site level, content is required to attract incoming links.
Hubs are distinguished by their willingness to link out to other sites whose contents are based on similar themes. Google appears to have already given its blessing to hub sites. That endorsement by Google can be readily seen with blogs.
For blogs, linking out has not proven to be the drain on PageRank, that many people would ordinarily expect. In fact, for many blogs, linking out has helped to enhance their search engine rankings. Linking out may have turned a number of leading blogs into hub sites for their theme area.
The reason for that blog linking out success in the search engines is similar to the power of the hub site. It's based on linking out to other blogs that are written on similar topics and themes. All website owners can use that empirical data to their own benefit. There are enough blogs linking out, while maintaining strong PageRanks and search rankings to back up that concept.
If you link out to other sites and web pages that are similar in topic to yours, you will not be held down by Google. Any drain on PageRank will be minimal at worst. It's thought as well that Google is not kind to sites that attempt to hoard PageRank. If that is true, then seeking hub site status is a wise goal. In any case, even if there is a minute loss of PageRank, the overall rise in the search engine results pages (SERPs) makes that more than a fair trade off.
{mospagebreak title=Don't Worry about Becoming the Dreaded Link Farm}
Many webmasters, instead of attempting to develop a hub site, express the unfounded concern that they may turn their site into an undesirable link farm. Nothing could be further from the truth. A hub site is not a link farm.
A link farm tends to be automated and its sole purpose is to gain links to exploit the search engines. Usually, the link farm demands a link back from all participating sites, plus all listed sites usually link to one another. There is virtually no concern for themes and topics with any of the links. Linking out to bad neighborhoods like link farms is always a bad move for any website owner. A hub site does not work like that in any way.
The purpose of a hub site is to link out to other related and valuable sites. It is especially helpful to link to authority sites in your topic area. Some great benefit accrues to the hub site's visitors, as they are able to find similar themed sites, already linked from the hub. Because of the high user value of a hub site, it gets rewarded in the search engines. The hub benefits through higher search engine placement in searches for the most important keywords and phrases.
Google and the other major search engines, are highly unlikely to consider your well themed out linking hub site, to be a link farm. On the contrary, they will reward your efforts, to provide a site with links to the most relevant and important sites on the topic. It is generally considered by most SEO professionals, that Google is especially fond of hub sites, and ranks them highly as a result.
{mospagebreak title=Roads to a Hub Site}
One way to build a hub site is to design your website to become a mini directory for your subject area. By linking out to the most important sites, and especially to the major authority sites, you can find yourself well on the path to becoming a valued hub site.
A hub site builder must not be afraid to link out to similarly themed sites, including competitors, especially id those competitors are authority sites. To be seen as a true hub, links need to be created to the most important, as well as secondary and less important but closely themed sites. It's thought that Google is now placing strong emphasis on themes, so that very strong possibility should always be kept in mind.
Add a blog element to your website. Blogs are, by their very nature, ideal candidates to become hub sites. Because of the number of outgoing links, with many links to authority sites for the theme topic, blogs can become hub sites very quickly. Many blogs are probably already considered hub sites due to their numbers of links combined with their high search engine rankings.
A more ambitious goal, would be developing a larger, more all encompassing directory as a hub site. Directory sites are usually ranked very well in the search engine returns for almost all keywords. Creating a directory, to take advantage of that probability is a good way to achieve the level of a hub site. In fact, a well designed directory can result in becoming a recognized hub site for more than one theme.
With Google providing every indication that hub sites will be given special consideration in the search engine rankings, it makes good sense to consider turning your site into a hub.
By linking out to authority sites, and other related sites for your theme, you can turn an ordinary website into a hub site very quickly. It's very easy to link out from a site.
Be certain to add lots of fresh theme based content to attract incoming links as well. They are needed to boost your PageRank and to build the necessary link popularity. Incoming links will cement your site's status as a hub.
Turning your site into a mini directory, or even into a fully fledged directory, will ensure your hub site level. Your positioning on the SERPs will be long lasting and are highly likely to survive any unexpected algorithm changes. Becoming a hub certainly has its advantages.
Consider creating a hub site today.

ECHO PARK — Councilman Mitch O'Farrell asked the Dodgers tonight to postpone their controversial decision to reopen the Scott Avenue entrance of the ballpark on game days.
With the season opener only about a week away, O'Farrell made the request during a packed and often heated meeting between Dodger officials and residents, who vented their frustration about the reopening of the Scott Gate, a move many Echo Park residents fear will only worsen game day congestion and problems in the primarily residential area west of the stadium. Several TV news crews were on hand at Williams Hall as residents requested relief from traffic and shared stories about game-day congestion and unruly fans.
Dodger representative Renata Simril, who fielded questions during the two-hour meeting, did not directly respond to the O'Farrell's request, and the team has not indicated it will reverse its decision, which is designed to speed up the flow of arriving and departing fans.
The councilman asked for a postponement of a month or more in order for the Dodgers to create and distribute placards that would allow residents to drive beyond a police checkpoint planned for game days at Scott and Echo Park avenues. Motorists without the placard would be ordered to turn around. The Dodgers have agreed to pay to staff the police checkpoint. However, with the placard program still not in place and the April 4 home opener only a few days away, O'Farrell said it would be best to postpone the reopening of the gate until everything was in place.
"It's contingent upon the placards," O'Farrell said. "Unless the placards are in place, it's going to be a problem."
While O'Farrell said he is opposed to reopening of the Scott Gate, it's not clear how much leverage he has over the Dodgers. He represents Council District 13 but Dodger Stadium is located in neighboring Council District 1, which is represented by Gil Cedillo. Is Cedillo opposed to the reopening of the Scott Gate? A Cedillo official present at the meeting told The Eastsider that the council office will provide a response soon.
The Dodgers closed the Scott Gate on the western side of the ballpark nearly two decades ago to help shield nearby neighbors to game-day traffic. While the gate has been re-opened in recent years for especially popular games, the closure of the gate has helped build goodwill with residents as well as cut down on vehicle traffic. But faced with the prospect of record attendance this year, the team said they need to reopen the Scott entrance during all games to help relieve traffic back ups at the ballpark's other entrances, especially the Elysian Park Avenue Gate off of Sunset Boulevard.
Simril, in an email to The Eastsider earlier this month, elaborated on the the rationale behind the reopening of the gate:
We believe the best way for us to minimize the impact to our neighbors is to get our fans into and out of the stadium as quickly as possible. The Stadium Way Gate B (formerly Scott Gate) is being opened from Stadium Way into the Stadium parking only as a 'relief valve' from Elysian Park Avenue. We are proposing to create two left turn lanes from Elysian Park Avenue which will then be directed to take a right turn onto Scott Avenue. This is critical to alleviating traffic along Sunset Boulevard which we all know backs up terrible. We are not changing any neighborhood protection along Scott Avenue from Stadium Way to Glendale Blvd. and in fact looking to add additional DOT officers to turn around cars who try to use this as an entry point.
