PA Imposes Moratorium on Gas Drilling in MontCo
The provision against fracking was attached to a state budget measure which lawmakers approved late Saturday night.
Companies that want to drill for natural gas in Bucks or Montgomery counties will have to wait.
State lawmakers on Saturday night approved a moratorium on gas drilling in Bucks, Montgomery and parts of Lehigh, Berks and Chester counties. The moratorium will affect any oil or gas operations in the South Newark Basin, which underlies a swath of territory extending from Bucks through Montgomery and into Berks County.
Do you agree with the moratorium? Tell us in the comments.
The moratorium is needed so scientists and engineers can better study the gas deposits held deep below ground, lawmakers said Saturday.
It was passed as an amendment to the state's fiscal code, in SB 1263. (Click here to read the full text of the bill or for more information.)
The state House and Senate approved the budget late Saturday and Gov. Tom Corbett signed it just before midnight, the end of the state's current fiscal year.
Background on Area Geology
A 2011 report from the United States Geologic Survey outlined the results of surveys of five basins along the east coast, from northern New Jersey down to North Carolina. The study was released on June 20, 2012.
One of those basins, the South Newark Basin, underlies much of Bucks and Montgomery counties, according to the report. Geologists estimate that basin contains at least 363 billion cubic feet of undiscovered natural gas deposits, and could contain much more. They estimated the mean amount to be 876 billion cubic feet.
The five basins together hold an estimated mean natural gas resource of 3,860 billion cubic feet, the report concluded.
Confronted with evidence that gas drilling could, indeed, affect Bucks and Montgomery counties, lawmakers scrambled to amend Act 13, the controversial state law regulating drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation.
The technique drilling companies use to fracture the rock formation to release the gas, called fracking, has faced stiff opposition from those worried about the environmental and health affects of the practice.
"The recent report by USGS has shed a new light on the possible circumstances in Bucks and other southeast PA counties. We believe it is necessary, given this new information, that these counties must be given the opportunity to have a greater say about things happening in their own backyard," Mensch said in the joint statement. "Originally Act 13 was viewed as primarily an issue for the northern tier counties. This new information proves otherwise."
But while the moratorium exempts Montgomery and the other areas in the South Newark Basin from drilling for now, other parts of the state still must comply with Act 13. Some characterized it as a move by legislators in a wealthy part of the state to protect their backyards, while leaving other Pennsylvanians unprotected.
"Where was our study? Where was our six years?" Democratic Rep. Jesse White was quoted as saying in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. "What makes Bucks and Montgomery [counties] so special?"
White represents part of Washington County, on the far western Pennsylvania border, an area that hosts "a significant amount of Marcellus Shale drilling," according to the Pittsburgh newspaper.
The moratorium could run as long as six years, John Micek, The Morning Call's state politics reporter in Harrisburg, reported on the blog, Capitol Ideas. The addendum prevents drilling permits from being issued until a state study of the formation is completed, or until 2018, whichever comes first.

Fracking is one of the most dangerous ways to extract natural gas from the Earth. First they drill about 5k through bedrock, then pump millions of gallons of water loaded with unsafe chemicals to release the gas. This process has been proven to cause earthquakes! Let's still the drill !!!
Tobias Cabral
9:17 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
Proven by whom? Read the EPA report. Despite considerable political pressure from the environmental lobby (hardly a stranger at the table in this Administration), there was no evidence of groundwater contamination from this decades-old practice. Zilch. Also, some mild tremors have been noted over fractured gas-bearing rock, but no noteworthy damage in all the time this technique has been used...and the data are even equivocal that there's a link between the tremors and fraccing (I have to spell it this way; I'm a Battlestar Galactica fan, so if I don't, I start giggling and lose my train of thought). Personally, I think there *is* a connection, but the point is that their incidence is similar enough to minor seismic activity happening anyway that one may raise the question. Hardly a smoking gun.
Tobias Cabral
9:18 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
These gas beds are **THOUSANDS** of feet deeper than the aquifers in which we drill our wells. The only way fraccing fluids are getting into the water is through a cracked shaft, and this has NEVER happened in the decades that this technique has been used. The ONLY contamination ever has been from shoddy waste water treatment AT THE SURFACE (look it up. And not in Mother Jones, please).
The entire moratorium is foolishness...or, rather, its length is foolish. Sensible regs about the safety infrastructure at drill heads are appropriate (though, the beauty of fraccing is that you can drill in horizontally from a head which is a considerable distance from populated areas).
Tobias Cabral
9:21 am on Monday, July 2, 2012
Again, *we've been doing this for a long time*. Only difference now is the potential VOLUME, but the superb safety record of fraccing is, in my considered opinion, quite scalable.

Reno County commissioners will put a half-cent sales tax increase before voters to pay for a new jail.
The increased sales tax would help pay for the construction of a new jail along with renovation of the old jail and security improvements at the Reno County Courthouse. It would also pay to relocate offices of the county clerk, treasurer, register of deeds and appraiser, which would have to move because of the security changes.
The costs of the projects is estimated at $28.9 million dollars. Supporters of the measure say the old jail building is outdated and overcrowded. Voters have said no before to plans for a new jail.
The issue would appear in the April 2nd election. If voters say "yes" to the tax in April, the county says the new tax would start no earlier than Oct. 1.
Reno County Administrator Gary Meagher says the increase would last only as long as it takes to pay off the bonds used for the project. Based on current sales tax collections, Meagher says that would take eight to 10 years.
If approved, here is what the ballot question will look like:
- Shall the following be adopted? Shall Reno County, Kansas, be authorized to (i) impose a one-half percent (.50%) retailers' sales tax (the "Sales Tax") for the purpose of paying all costs necessary to (a) construct, equip and furnish a new jail facility in the County, and (b) renovate the existing jail and annex facilities to allow for additional police and sheriff's department space and for use by other County departments, and make security entrance improvements to the courthouse (collectively, the "Jail Improvements"), with collection of such Sales Tax to commence on October 1, 2013, or as soon thereafter as legally permissible, and to sunset and expire upon the payment of all costs incurred in the financing of such Jail Improvements (including the retirement of any bonds issued and payable from such Sales Tax); and (ii) issue sales tax general obligation bonds (the "Bonds") in an amount not to exceed $28,900,000, provided that the County receive, prior to such issuance, a comprehensive feasibility study that indicates the revenues received from such Sales Tax will be sufficient to retire such Bonds without the necessity of levying any ad valorem taxation, all pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187 et seq., as amended?
In short, a "yes" vote means you approve of the tax increase, a "no" vote means you do not.

HELP! Preganant and over weight. How to lose weight safely while pregnant?
It's not because im being superficial.
I'm out of breath when I get to the top of the stairs (13 steps, its not exactly mount everest), how unhealthy is that?
I can't remember when I got unhealthy tbh. I was 8 stone before I had first child. Then rocketed up to 13 stone while pregnant (the stretch marks are horrendous!). I lost a few stone in the year after I had My first born, But soon went up to 16 stone! . Gradually I lost 4 stone over 4 years and by the time I had second child , I was only 12 stone. But over past few years I have gained 3 stone and cant shift it, obviously cut alcohol out of my diet due to being pregnant (31 weeks tomorrow!). Although Ive been over weight for years now, I have never been this unhealthy. I cant exercise due to by baby bump ruining my stomach muscles and walking anymore than 20 yards gives me an almighty pain in the stomach (physiotherapy appointment soon ).
Please does anyone have any tips on helping me lose weight, that doesn't involve eating like a rodent/marsupial/ect (LOL!) but will still have the nutrition my unborn baby needs to develop?
Thank you in advance ladies xxxx

Hi Madi
Its generally not advised to try to lose weight during pregnancy, but instead to focus on having a healthy diet, and to avoid gaining too much additional weight.
This page has some great general info about the range of foods you need to have:
Healthy diet in pregnancy - Pregnancy and baby guide - NHS Choices
I wonder Maddi if you have asked your GP for support with this, they should be able to offer you lots of support. Have you spoken to them ?
Good luck

Hi there,
Don't panic...............join slimming world, who work with the RCM (royal college of midwives), inform your midwife that you are attending classes and see the weight stay static or lose. They have an approved plan for pregnant women that is safe and nutritious.
You might even find that your maternity unit can get you a voucher for free to join as some are joining up with slimming world to encourage women to take control of their weight.
Good luck, hope it all goes well.

As the Previous poster Susan said, join Slimming World. It is not a diet, but a healthy eating plan. You can follow it safely throughout the pregnancy, birth and while breastfeeding. It really works. You can still eat and lose weight. When I heard them explaining the plan the first time I thought they were mad, because there is soo many lovely foods that you can eat unlimited amounts from, but it works. Whole family can eat the same food, so no worries if you have other kids and husband to feed. I am with Slimming World and I get online support from another weight loss forum(message me if you want the details).

I try to reduce my apetite as I could eat for England when I am pregnant. I eat an apple while I cooking so that by the time the food is ready it has taken the edge off. I also drink a glass of water everytime I think i am hungry as I am often just thirsty. I also eat normal food but off a smaller plate and don't eat my sons left overs. I need to get my BMI down as I am at 40 and I don't want a c-section and I am at less risk of this with a BMI of 38. I try to do 10 min gentle exercise on the wii fit each day x
- 30-05-12, 20:26 #6
PS I am with slimming world at present to lose weight so I can get pregnant as I piled on 4 1/2 stone with my pregnancy and I was no fairy to start off with.......wish I knew about them earlier! Slimming World has changed and there is no more red and green nonsense. It is now called Extra Easy!

Hi ladies know this may sound like a silly question but can you join once you are pregnant or can you only continue to follow the plan if u were already a member/following the plan already x
- 31-05-12, 08:52 #8
You can join at any time. Just get a letter from your midwife. The group leader must just know that your midwife is aware that you are joining. Your hospital may even pay your joining fee by giving you a voucher. The NHS supports the Slimming world healthy eating plan completely. My husband is diabetic and that is another reason we follow the plan.
- 31-05-12, 10:30 #9
I think eating healthy is the way to go and reducing your portions. To be honest your baby will always get what it needs and you will always get the left overs so even if you did diet (being sensible and not starving yourself) they baby would be fine.

If it was that easy I would be thin. It is a tad more complicated for some of us. Hormones during pregnancy made me a food monster. Even more than usual.......
I am usually addicted to food and unlike alcoholics I can not stop eating forever. Slimming World will be in my life for the rest of my life.Last edited by Martha F(8); 31-05-12 at 10:35. Reason: spelling

I do know it is not easy . At the height of my first pregnancy l had put on 3 stone and weighed more then my hubby.

I'm in a similar position. I'm about 13st and 8 weeks pregnant. Put on two stone in the last 18 months and found it really difficult to move as life was a bit of a mess and work very hard (commuting hours away and things not helping), really wish I'd lost more before I got pregnant! I'm about to go part time so that should help a bit. I'm so so tired though the thought of excercise, even going for a walk makes me feel quite weak!
I'm trying to concentrate on eating lots of fruit and veg and stopping eating when I'm full (as I'm quite good at continuing until I'm completely stuffed!). I'm stopped some of the crisps, chocolate and cake though not all. I'm eating little and often, making sure I have cereal for breakfast. I'm going to start walking the dog a couple of miles every day and I have a pregnancy excercise video to follow that i'm hoping might help. I know its going to be hard. With my DS I lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding so I'm going to just try and eat healthy and take a little regular excercise from now on but not beat myself up over it!

I am 5 weeks pregnant (found out last week!) and I am doing slimming world. It is a fantastic plan as it is basically just healthy eating although you can eat loads of things like meat, pasta, potatoes, fruit, veg and still lose weight - you can even have fried breakfasts at the weekend provided you use fry light and use lean bacon (they have lots of recipes for a huge variety of meals). I am doing it so I don't put on extra weight during this pregnancy as I haven't lost my weight from my last!

Most women that are overweight when they fall pregnant tend to lose weight through out their pregnancy without doing anything. I know I did.
When I fell pregnant with my first son in 07 I was a size 6 and weighed 7 stone. By the time my son was born I can't remember my weight but I was a size 12 a few weeks after his birth.
I am now pregnant again and over the past couple of years since his birth the weight piled on. I was a 16-18 and weighed 14 and a half stone when I fell pregnant this time. I am now 38 weeks pregnant I weigh 12 stone exactly and I am about a size 12 in dress size and I've not touched my treadmill, worked out or dieted during my pregnancy.
Depending how far gone you are this may be the same for you.
You can speak to your GP about dieting, working out during pregnancy it's perfectly healthy to do so just not to a massive extreme or it'll endanger the baby.
I wish you the best of luck with it because I know exactly how you feel right now xx

I am just about to tuck into a fry up! Slimming world style. Fried my lean bacon, tomatoes, eggs and mushrooms in fry light. Baked Beans and one slice of brown toast(4 syns). Yum!!!!

Several of my friends are on slimming world (in fact one has lost 8 stone!) and they rant and rave about how amazing it is, to the point where i'd love to join in only i'm now pregnant! I will most definately look into this voucher thing, I do have an appointment with a dietician I was referred to but the appointment isn't for AGES... would it be a good idea to just call the midwife do you think?

Just wanted to add my support for using slimming world during pregnancy. I was already a member when I found I was pregnant with my second. All I had to do was get the midwife to sign a bit of paper saying she was happy. I didn't follow the plan religiously while pregnant but still ended up losing 5lbs during my pregnancy!
Catherine - I would give the midwife a call and ask her advice about slimming world then if she oks it you can start asap. AT my class a woman joined when she was about 4 / 5 months after advice from her midwife

I've only got 6 weeks left and am overweight- i've been really conscious of my eating, not followed any specific diet but have eaten good healthy food and kept calories down. I'd put on just over a stone between weeks 10-26 but weighed myself yesterday and have put on 1.5 stone in the last 7 weeks! I'm gutted! I dont feel like i have and have put on 2.5 stone overall.
Do you think i should start following slimming world now? Can i lose weight still or at least not put anymore on?

I've followed sw in both pregnancies albeit loosely.
With dd, after she was born I weighed 1/2lb heavier than when I booked in with the mw, and was 9lb 15oz born
With this one, I'm currently 5.5lb heavier than when I fell pregnant and I'm 35 weeks pregnant. Also had a growth scan last week that estimated baby to be at least 6lb already, so as long as I don't go silly in the next few weeks I should hopefully be lighter after giving birth than when I fell pregnant.
There are/were 4 pregnant ladies in my group, one of which is the consultant! 2 of the girls have had their babies now but we are all doing well
I can't recommend it enough. I have a very high BMI which means I'm under the hospital for my antenatal care. They are very pleased with my progress and I strongly believe that managing my weight gain has helped me avoid weight related complications such as high bp, gd etc in both my pregnancies.
- 01-06-12, 09:10 #21
I can really recommend them. I lost 2 stone in 3 months and I did not go to the gym at all!!! Really safe for pregnant/breast feeding women and there is so much you can eat. It is a very simple healthy eating plan. It is great for after birth when you can not do any excersize( for the first 6 weeks). You can lose 1-2 lb a week easily! I usually loose 2-3 lb every week if I really follow the plan, but everyones bodies are different.

Thank you i feel so didappointed with myself, from day one it has been my aim to maintain my weight and hopefully weight less afterwards and i cant believe how much i've put on.
I have tried slimming world before, my problem is i have pcos/insulin resistance and i can't eat pasta, potato, anything thats been made low fat (such as mullerlights/low fat cheese etc) and this makes sw hard to follow but might look at following it in principle but just eating protein, fruit/veg and complex carbs x
Well done to all of you x

As easy as it is for me personally to say having lost weight during my pregnancy you ladies need to stop worrying about the numbers so much.
You are having a baby you are supposed to put weight on and be it not very nice you have plenty of time to get it back off once bubba is here.
I am sure you are all lovely beautiful women no matter what you weigh and as long as you and baby are doing good it can wait really can't it.
There is plenty of time for slimming world, diets, hard work outs afterwards but this is the only time in our lives we are allowed to eat what our body wants and you should be enjoying it instead of fretting!

Your fiance loves you regardless of how much you weigh! Otherwise you wouldn't be getting married lol. 3-4 stone is.not obtainable in 12 weeks that's nuts. I've not lost that amount in 9 months. There are some products called aciderm you can find them online. The wraps drop inches instantly if it bothers you that much. I've been told and seen by numerous friends they work x

My understanding is that it should automatically sync ie delete from one and it is deleted from the other. However I am unable to currently check as I deleted a Facebook message from my desktop and now when I try to view messages on the Facebook App on either my iPad or iPhone the app immediately crashes. Upgraded to iOS 6.1 today and wonder if that is relevant to my crashes.

I am an aspiring illustrator/ designer who is looking to purchase his first computer. It gets old driving across town to use your parents PC...but I'm not sure what I should invest in.
I have a budget of about 12,000 (tax returns). I am poor as hell, yes I am.
My confusion is driving me insane! PC or Mac? Laptop or desktop? what kind of chip, processor, etc ? I've been researching all over the net, but have not found anything very useful. I want input from other artists, not a sales rep or a 3-year old FAQ.
I am 20 years old and still working on my associates degree. This will be my first computer and I plan to work in Photoshop, Paint, and probably Illustrator. I do not want to make a mistake and buy an insufficient machine. Any advice would help.
P.S. I love this board. I've been lurking here for a while. So many fresh ideas and nobody is an a-hole. With my new computer I hope to show some of my work soon.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.

Texas Business reports: AUSTIN—The state is seeking private sponsorship for public lands, including advertising.
For the first time, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is seeking Official Corporate Partners to raise additional revenue to help meet financial challenges, including those facing state parks due to drought and wildfires.
This funding strategy was made possible during the last legislative session by the passage of House Bill 1300, in which state lawmakers gave TPWD authority to develop partnerships with private businesses.
For years, TPWD has benefited from working closely with its official non-profit partner, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, to develop corporate sponsorships as well as philanthropic relationships with individuals and private foundations. Now TPWD will also be able to offer a new array of exclusive benefits to Official Corporate Partners, including official partner designation in specific business categories.
"The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is a trusted brand, synonymous with outdoor experiences, wildlife, state parks and conservation," said Carter Smith, TPWD executive director. "We believe that this private-public partnership will be a smart business move for the right companies, offering access to a marketplace of millions of outdoor enthusiasts, and recognizing partner roles in helping to preserve state parks and the outdoor lifestyle that are such important parts of our Texas heritage."
The department has targeted a number of business categories in its Request for Proposals (RFP), including automotive, banking, beverage, computer equipment, energy companies, gas station/convenience store, hotel/motel, insurance, mobile phone/wireless, and outdoor apparel. However, the opportunity is open to any interested company, and all business categories will be considered. The RFP also details partnership guidelines and links to agency regulations created to implement HB 1300.
Under TPWD rules to implement the legislation, businesses who are awarded Official Corporate Partnerships will be able to use the official designation in their marketing efforts and work with TPWD to develop joint promotional campaigns. Among other new benefits, partners will be able to license products featuring the department brand and reach millions of web visitors through banner ads on the agency web site.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time any state agency in the U.S. has done anything like this, and we anticipate this will be a learning experience where best practices will evolve over time," said Lydia Saldaña, TPWD communications director. "However, we are approaching this very thoughtfully. Our marketing, legal and administrative teams have spent a great deal of time planning and preparing. We are all mindful that the goal is to help take care of our Texas treasures and carry out our mission."
Companies interested in TPWD's official corporate partner opportunity can see details in the Request for Proposals (RFP) on the agency website. The deadline to submit a proposal is Aug. 30.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas Governor Comes To NY To Recruit Businesses To Move To His State; Texas airport to begin dual customs operation with Mexico; Texas becomes one of 23 states to use electronic insurance proof; Emcor agrees to $455 million deal for Texas company;Volkswagen to open dealership in Waco; American Airlines To Add More Seats To 737s, MD-80s; Police officer says helicopter from gun range endangering his cattle; Contractors get OK to build new Beaumont Army Medical Center; Midland looks to join spaceport race; UTEP's solar-powered house to compete internationally; and more.
One morning Texas awoke from uneasy dreams to find itself transformed into a gigantic cockroach of intentional ignorance.

(Princeton is a municipality with a borough form of government in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, that was established on January 1, 2013, through the consolidation of the Borough of Princeton and Princeton Township. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 28,572, reflecting the former township's population of 16,265, along with the 12,307 in the former borough.[5][6][7][8][9]
Princeton is best known as the location of Princeton University, which has been sited in the community since 1756. Although Princeton is a "college town", there are other important institutions in the area, including the Institute for Advanced Study, Westminster Choir College, Princeton Theological Seminary, Educational Testing Service (ETS), Opinion Research Corporation, Siemens Corporate Research, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Sarnoff Corporation, FMC Corporation, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Amrep, Church and Dwight, Berlitz International, and Dow Jones & Company.
Princeton is roughly equidistant from New York City and Philadelphia. Since the 19th century, it has been connected by rail to both of these cities by the Princeton Branch rail line to the nearby Princeton Junction Station on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor.[11][12] Princeton is close to many major highways that serve both cities, and receives some TV and radio broadcasts from each.
The Princeton train station was moved from under Blair Hall to its present location on University Place in 1918.[11] Commuting to New York from Princeton became commonplace after the Second World War.[13] While the Amtrak ride time is similar to New York and to Philadelphia, the commuter-train ride to New York – via New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line — is generally much faster than the equivalent train ride to Philadelphia, which involves a transfer to SEPTA trains in Trenton. New Jersey Transit provides shuttle service between the Princeton and Princeton Junction stations; the train is locally called the "Dinky",[12] and has also been known as the "PJ&B" (for "Princeton Junction and Back").[14] Two train cars, or sometimes just one, are used.
New Jersey's capital is the city of Trenton, but the governor's official residence has been in Princeton since 1945, when Morven in the borough became the first Governor's mansion. It was later replaced by the larger Drumthwacket, a colonial mansion located in the township. Morven became a museum property of the New Jersey Historical Society.
Princeton was named No. 15 of the top 100 towns in the United States to Live and Work In by Money Magazine in 2005.[15]
Although residents of Princeton (Princetonians) traditionally have a strong community-wide identity, the community had been composed of two separate municipalities: a township and a borough. The central borough was completely surrounded by the township. The Borough seceded from the Township in 1894 in a dispute over school taxes; the two municipalities later formed the Princeton Public Schools, and some other public services were conducted together before they were reunited into a single Princeton in January 2013. The Borough contained Nassau Street, the main commercial street, most of the University campus, and incorporated most of the urban area until the postwar suburbanization. Borough and Township had roughly equal populations.
United States Postal Zip Codes for Princeton include 08542 (largely the old Borough), 08544 (the University), 08543 (the Seminary), and 08540. The latter covers areas outside Princeton proper, including portions of Lawrence, Hopewell, and West Windsor Townships in Mercer County, Montgomery and Franklin Townships in Somerset County, and Plainsboro and South Brunswick Townships in Middlesex County. The resulting ambiguity is exploited by local real estate agents who will often advertise a property in these neighboring communities as having a "prestigious Princeton address".[16][17] Further adding to confusion is the spread of "Princeton" as part of business, church, and residential development even further beyond the boundaries of the town. Princeton lies at latitude 40°21' North, longitude 74°40' West.)

2013 Legislative Agenda
As the voice in Sacramento for everyone who wants to transform our communities into places where many more people feel comfortable and safe bicycling, we are working on the following legislative priorities.
More funding for bike projects
WATCH the budget trailer bill, seek additional funding for bicycling, and ensure that the program supports our goal of tripling bicycling in California.
Better bikeway design
SUPPORT AB 1193 (Ting) – This bill would free local agencies from the restrictions of the California Highway Design Manual whose prohibition against cycle tracks prevents them from creating the safest possible bikeways. We are the CO-SPONSORS of this bill along with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Download the fact sheet. Download our support letter. Download a sample letter to send on your own.
Ease review requirements of traffic impacts of bike projects
1. SUPPORT AB 417 (Frazier) – This bill would exempt from review a bike plan and its projects to the extent its impacts are limited to traffic, bicycle parking infrastructure and signage. Download the fact sheet.
2. Work with environmental groups to clarify the intent of last year's AB 2254, so that local agencies can be sure that traffic impacts of bike lanes do not have to be substantially mitigated in order to qualify for exemption from review.
Other important bills
SUPPORT AB 184 (Gatto) – Extends the statute of limitations on hit-and-run crimes, making it easier to catch the perpetrators of hit-and-run crimes. Read our support letter.
OPPOSE AB 738 (Harkey) – Provides public agencies with extreme immunity from lawsuits for dangerous conditions on bikeways. Read more…
SUPPORT AB 1194 (Ammiano) – Protects Safe Routes to School programs in the state transportation budget.
SUPPORT AB 1290 (Perez) – Changes the membership of the California Transportation Commission to give the legislature and public more oversight over its priorities. Read our support letter.
SUPPORT AB380 (Dickinson) – Improves the procedure for disclosing agency decisions about whether a project is subject to environmental review.
SUPPORT AB 1002 (Bloom) – Adds a $6 per vehicle registration fee to pay for planning and implementation of active transportation projects. We are advocating for an amendment to exempt from the fee those jurisdictions who increase the rate of vehicle registration fee beyond the current state rate. Read our support letter.
SUPPORT the constitutional amendment to lower the threshold for voter approval of transportation sales taxes from two-thirds to 55%.
SUPPORT AB 666 (Wieckowski) – Improves California's red light enforcement camera program. Read our support letter.
POSITION PENDING ON AB 840 (Ammiano) – Requires applicants for driver's licenses to state a commitment to avoid distracted driving, improving education on the issue and the prospects of prosecution of distracted drivers.
WATCH for bills related to the definition of "bicycle" in the vehicle code so that electric bicycles are included in the definition but scooters and other similar, faster devices are prohibited from bike facilities.

The Saga of The Question
get a life
Let me start out by saying – imo JIB IV was a very good convention :) I enjoyed it a lot. The panels were good fun. The atmosphere was a happy one. Misha gave me a fluffy elephant (!). I was very satisfied with the answers to all my questions.
That said, there was STUFF happening behind the scenes I want to share. Or rather, I feel like I NEED to share, since it concludes the saga of The Question, which many of you have been following for some time now.
The cliff notes version for anyone unaware – I've been planning a question for Jensen about Dean's sexuality for, oh, going on a year now. It had been carefully crafted with input from all over tumblr and it dealt with the academic debate among fans about how certain things in the show suggest Dean might be repressing bisexuality and asked how Jensen himself viewed Dean's sexuality.
As of the NJcon fiasco, I quickly came up with several reworded versions of the question to avoid dealing with the subject head on like in NJcon and, hopefully, avoid a repetition of the same shameful crowd reaction at JIB.
What resulted was Plan A, Plan B and Plan C.
After the con schedule was released, I looked it over and decided the best time to ask my question would be in Jensen's first solo panel, which was Saturday afternoon, coming after a J2 morning panel – the idea being that Jensen would have had time to settle in, but wouldn't yet be too tired.
Ok tumblr, here's how it all went down. But understand this isn't really a con report, lots of stuff happened in-between and even during what I'm relating here, there was squeeing and flailing and meeting friends etc etc. I'm just cutting everything down to the relevant info:

Coats of arms
The Iserlohn coat of arms dates back to a depictation on the gothic choir stalls in the Obersten (Upper) Town Church, namely to a wooden sculpture from the 18th century and is a combination of the town seal of 1313 and the town scribe`s seal from 1391. It was approved in the present form in 1913. The figure between the two towers depicts the Holy Pancratius who according to legend was beheaded 304 AD by Emperor Dickletian. The two towers symbolise the towns defense. The chequered bar shows the previous affiliation to Graftschaft Mark (the shire of Mark). The description reads: The town of Iserlohn carries the coat of arms that presents in a yellow square, two red towers with blue rooves and three red and silver chequered cross bars, - between the towers the Holy Pancratius in a red cloak, bearing a sword in his right hand and looking upwards".
The three towers symbolise the noble houses of Hennen, Gerkendahl and Ohle. The description reads: In red (2:1) with three crowned towers in silver (white)". The coat of arms was approved on 30.9.1966 but expired with the communal new re-organisation of 1975.
Both the plough shares refer to a rural character and the mountains (three) to the hilly topography of Kesbern. The Wolfsangeln" are a reference to the previous affiliation of Kesbern to the town authority of Hemer the Wolfsangeln" were carried by the family Brabeck in their coat of arms. The description reads." The shield divided by black and silver, above next to each other, two silver plough shares, there below on the black, three mountains (1:2) , therein golden Wolfsangeln". The coat of arms was approved on 6.5.1939, however it expired with the communal new re-organisation of 1975.
The coat of arms of Letmathe was originally carried by the family Letmathe who died out in the 15th century. In the present form it dates back to a seal from Johann of Letmathe, out of the year 1346. The description reads: In silver with ermine imposed shield, a three rowed red and gold chequered cross beam, there over guards a red lion". The coat of arms was approved on 2.1.1935. The lion cannot easily be identified: it could date back to the old coat of arms of Graf Mark or it could refer to Letmathe´s affiliation to the Grafschaft of Limburg. The chequered cross beam refers to the fact that the Grafen of Mark were the feudal lords of the noble house of Letmathe. In the lower part of the shield, what perhaps, at first glance, resembles ermine or tadpoles can better be interpreted as leaves. The coat of arms expired with the communal new re-organisation.
A white cross beam and three white roses are component parts of the coat of arms of the family Sümmern, the Faßeisen" derives from the coat of arms of the town authoity of Menden. The town coat of arms dates back to a court seal of the Kurkölnischen" Court of Menden from the 18th century. The description reads." In red a golden cross beam there above three (in column) silver roses, there under a silver gesturztes Faßeisen". The coat of arms was appoved 15.4.1937. However, it expired with the communal new re-organisation.

breaking news
It was tails, fangs and hooves today at the preview of the African Journey Exhibit at the Fort Wayne Childrens Zoo.
Zoo Director Jim Anderson says people are anxious and "have been looking over the fence, and riding the sky ride to get some construction views"
The new Exhibit, took two years to build and will open to visitors June 6, 2009.
Anderson says "we exists to connect people with animals, so until we have people here we are not really doing our mission."
You can expect to see a whole array of African native animals in the African Journey exhibit, such as: monkeys, giraffes, lions, zebras, birds, and hyenas.
And not only can you walk around the Zoo, but for a dollar you can feed the giraffe's fresh lettuce.
Aimee Fannon, the Primary Giraffe Keeper says "I think people will really enjoy it, weather the giraffes are in the eating mood or not, its a great place to get a good view, a good photo opportunity, and a good way to see how large they really are.
But feeding giraffes is not the only hands-on activity in African Journey.
Anderson says "We have added beating African drum areas, stringing African beaded necklaces, and a zebra research station where kids can punch buttons and focus in on the animals using cameras.
African Journey cost $9.2 million, and was funded strictly through donations.
Anderson says "this is a result of the generosity from people all around the area, and we hope to give back an awesome experience for years and years and years to come.

Truth in advertising?
Submitted by ellen on Sat, 07/25/2009 - 3:43pmI came across the above Google ads on Snopes today. If you don't understand why I was amused, just read the ad headlines.
It reminds me of a Frank and Ernest cartoon I like to include on electronics tests.

Anti-same-sex marriage ad and spoof
Submitted by ellen on Sat, 04/18/2009 - 6:07amThe so-called National Organization for Marriage issued a strange ad against legalizing same-sex marriage:
While Human Rights Campaign has issued a rebuttal of the ad's claims, the ad has more effectively been countered by a number of ridiculous videos, including the original ad's audition tapes, clips of which can be seen with Rachel Maddow's entertaining commentary 2:08 into the below clip from her show:
Many video responses have been made to the easily parodied ad, such as the below spoof from Shoot the Messenger:
My favorite parody is Stephen Colbert's:
The Colbert Report | Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c | ||
The Colbert Coalition's Anti-Gay Marriage Ad | |||
I think it's encouraging that acceptance of same-sex marriage has grown so much that its opponents have to argue against specious consequences rather than against gay marriage itself.
Update: The April 19 New York Times had a great op-ed column by Frank Rich, entitled The Bigots' Last Hurrah:
What would happen if you crossed that creepy 1960s horror classic "The Village of the Damned" with the Broadway staple "A Chorus Line"? You don't need to use your imagination. It's there waiting for you on YouTube under the title "Gathering Storm": a 60-second ad presenting homosexuality as a national threat second only to terrorism....
Far from terrifying anyone, "Gathering Storm" has become, unsurprisingly, an Internet camp classic. On YouTube the original video must compete with countless homemade parodies it has inspired since first turning up some 10 days ago. None may top Stephen Colbert's on Thursday night, in which lightning from "the homo storm" strikes an Arkansas teacher, turning him gay. A "New Jersey pastor" whose church has been "turned into an Abercrombie & Fitch" declares that he likes gay people, "but only as hilarious best friends in TV and movies"....
What gives the ad its symbolic significance is not just that it's idiotic but that its release was the only loud protest anywhere in America to the news that same-sex marriage had been legalized in Iowa and Vermont. If it advances any message, it's mainly that homophobic activism is ever more depopulated and isolated as well as brain-dead....
It is justice, not a storm, that is gathering. Only those who have spread the poisons of bigotry and fear have any reason to be afraid.
Who knew?
Submitted by ellen on Sat, 01/17/2009 - 8:57amI was surprised to hear that Pastor Rick Warren considers homosexuality to be comparable to incest, polygamy, and pedophilia. I hadn't even known he'd tried all of them.
More warped sayings and words
Submitted by ellen on Tue, 11/11/2008 - 9:15pmIn a previous post, I provided my favorite warped sayings, such as "more fun than a bowel full of monkeys". Here are a few more:
- "There wasn't a dry seat in the house."
- "An apple a day keeps Newton away."
Here are some word tweaks:
- "I got my second wind" (pronouncing the last word to rhyme with "bind", like winding a watch).
- "ridonculous", which I first heard from a colleague I assumed made up the word, but it's in urban dictionary.
I welcome additions.

Same-sex marriage round-up
Submitted by ellen on Thu, 06/12/2008 - 9:45pmSame-sex marriage is much in the thoughts of me and other like-minded Californians excited about its upcoming legalization. Here are some items on that theme.
Defenders of Marriage song
I heard this song on the radio tonight on This Way Out. For those who don't want to listen to it on YouTube, here are some of the lyrics:
Every time we think about same-sex marriage
Makes us sick to our guts
I mean, two people who want to commit to a
stable monogamous life-long relationship
What are they, nuts?
It's unnatural!
Now a man should not lie with a
person who is a guy
He should only lie to his wife,
the bible is clear
Homosexuality is a choice?
Opponents of gay rights often claim that homosexuality is a choice. Let's think about that for a moment...
Anyone who makes that claim is implying that they consciously chose not to be homosexual, presumably due to their moral superiority. If these people were only attracted to members of the opposite sex, however, they wouldn't have needed to make such a choice. Thus, they're unwittingly making a confession about their own sexual orientation.
Flashback to 2004
Here's a reprint of my February 2004 email to family and close friends about my experiences around San Francisco's unilateral (later overturned) decision to allow same-sex marriages:
As you may know, San Francisco has been allowing gay couples to marry over this holiday weekend. As you may also know, Keith and I support gay marriage. I want to share with you how this has touched our lives. I know not all of you support gay marriage, but I know you support hospitality and standing up for what one believes in, even if you choose different causes.
Saturday, which was Valentine's Day, Keith and I stocked up on tchochkes and headed to City Hall in our little electric car. There was a huge line of people waiting for marriage licenses. We went down the line, giving out Hershey's kisses ("A kiss for the bride?"), champagne ("genuine Trader Joe's"), fancy-schmancy picture frames, and our best wishes. I loved Keith more than ever, seeing him heartily congratulating brides and grooms (which, analytical as always, I figured he wouldn't do if he regretted his state of matrimony). We spoke with a reporter from New York Newsday. After giving our names, I told her that Keith and I were married -- that the (temporary and local) legalization of gay marriage hadn't destroyed ours. We weren't quoted in the article; instead, the writer focused on the celebrants, which I think was appropriate.
Sunday morning, I went shopping again for more goodies, including some rainbow candles from the Castro. Unfortunately, the store that sold same-sex cake toppers wasn't open yet. Keith and I went to City Hall in the afternoon. After hearing a bride talk about her Jewish wedding at her grandmother's nursing home, I gave her a pair of big rainbow candles for Shabbos (Sabbath) and mentioned how Keith and I couldn't marry either under strict Jewish law. While we were able to give away all the candles and drinks, there were so many people handing out snacks that we went home with chocolate kisses.
That evening, I read online about people camping out at City Hall so they could be sure of getting married the next day. I made another trip out, with blankets and sweaters, because it was a wet chilly night. When I got home, Keith melted down the leftover chocolate kisses and made us warm chocolate pudding. Yum!
On Monday, I showed up at City Hall at 9:30 to volunteer inside, but they had more than enough people, and I was turned away, despite professing computer expertise. After getting over my disappointment, I assisted people who were handing out coffee, food (bagels and doughnuts), and stickers, and asked people in line what else they needed. I wasn't able to help with the request for a catheter, but I was able to come back later with dry socks and gloves, which were appreciated. By this time, some people in line recognized me, either from previous days or repeated appearances that day.
Everyone expects the courts to issue an injunction today stopping the granting of marriage licenses. We don't know whether this weekend's marriages will be voided. In any case, it will be the start of a state-wide and federal legal battle. For the friends of ours who married this weekend and didn't get a present from us, we'll make a donation to a legal fund in their honor.
I know that several of you participated in the Civil Rights movement. I'm proud and happy that I was able to participate in San Francisco's civil disobedience and civil rights movement.
Historical note: The weddings were halted by court order on March 11, 2004, and legally voided on August 12, 2004 [1].
What, quite unmann'd in folly?
Submitted by ellen on Thu, 05/22/2008 - 8:20amI saw this bumper sticker in the Google parking lot:
Don't get it? It's a reference to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) challenge to build a vehicle capable of driving itself and, of course, to the Christian bumper sticker, "In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned."
(Other responses to the rapture bumper sticker are In case of rapture, can I have your car? and In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned. It will then recklessly careen into children at a school crossing -- killing all of them.)
After complimenting the owner, I found out that the sticker is sold by ThinkGeek.

Builder does not have any built-in ability to do that.
WordPress has options to allow people to create accounts. Plugins such as Gravity Forms allow you to build custom forms. I'm not sure what tools may be able to tie those two together complete with a search ability. Such a solution may have to be custom.
