Crews with Multi-Craft Construction Services LLC are remodeling the former American Legion Post building at 170 North Ave. as the new parks maintenance facility.
Parks Supervisor Todd Wofford said a walk-through inspection is scheduled for the second week in December.
"They're painting and finishing up the wiring right now," he said.
Plans are to start moving in after the Dec. 13 NAIA Championship match at Barron Stadium. The parks division handles upkeep and repairs at all the indoor and outdoor recreation properties, so the shift involves relocating tools, supplies and heavy equipment in addition to administrative items.
"That's going to take a couple of weeks but, hopefully, we'll be in our new office by the first of the year," Wofford said.
The parks division is the last remaining occupant of a 4.4-acre tract along the Oostanaula River that the city of Rome acquired to spark redevelopment and control its quality.
David Doss of Samson Development is working with Duke Hospitality on a proposal to build a multi-story, full-service hotel on half the land. Condos and retail space would come as Phase II. He has a Jan. 2 deadline to close the deal with the city.
The RFPRA moved its headquarters from the West Third Street building to the former Marine Armory on Shorter Avenue in 2011.
The 2006 special purpose, local option sales tax package contained $1.6 million to remodel the armory, which also serves as a gymnastics center. The city also tapped the earmark to help pay for the parks maintenance facility.
But at least another $7,000 will be needed to buy security cameras, RFPRA board members learned last week.
Executive Director Richard Garland said cameras would be moved from the West Third facility but more are needed "to properly cover" the 1.25-acre tract on North Avenue.

Home control systems have been on the market for decades, but thanks to the growing sophistication of both the technology and consumers themselves, the idea is finally gaining critical mass. The convenience of automated and/or remote control of your home's electronic devices and systems—entertainment, climate, security, lighting—is now accessible for any household. But what's the best way to get started?
Here are 9 important questions worth asking as you explore the possibility of a home control system for your own house.
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- A New York Judge has put a stop to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on super-size, sugary soft drinks.

Yes, the government has to look out for the people.

Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling ruled that rules of the law, which was to go into effect Tuesday, are "arbitrary and capricious," applying to only certain beverages and only certain stores, Fox News reported.
Bloomberg continued to defend the ban on Twitter after the ruling.
"Obesity kills more than 5,000 NYers each year. We must take bold steps to fight this crisis," he wrote.

Boston is No. 1 on Parenting magazine's 'Best Cities for Families 2012' list: Share your favorite family-friendly aspect of Boston
David L. Ryan/Globe staff
Parenting Magazine thinks Boston is the best place to raise a family. That's right, Boston ranked No. 1 this year on the magazine's annual "Best Cities for Families 2012" list. Go us!
How was it calculated? The magazine ranked 100 cities based on education, health, community, charm, and culture, using nearly 4,000 pieces of data. The obvious reasons why Boston topped the list, according to Parenting, was our "thrilling hometown baseball team, incredible institutions of higher learning, gorgeous parks, historical neighborhoods and a new highway system."
Other factors the magazine took into account? The White House selecting Orchard Gardens K-8 for a prestigious art program led by famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Boston Children's Hospital housing the world's largest research center based in a pediatric hospital, and the Boston Children's Museum's $365,000 grant to ensure programs appeal to all children. Oh, and the magazine was impressed that students at 25 schools across Boston are taking part in a before-school exercise program created by a local mom.
Share with us your favorite family-friendly aspect of Boston.

Wouter Weylandt: 27.09.1984 – 09.05.2011
Riders Never Die by Willy Verhegghe
Riders never die,
All they do is disappear from sight
once they, with unparalleled style
pass the final finish line
and the speed of life
leaves them behind with stiff muscles.
Because they will always keep racing,
even when heart and wheels stop,
they continue in thousands of heads
pushing on never dying,
their sweat giving a permanent shine
to the tarmac roads.
Know that
when the earth finally and with
hesitation covers them,
Their name will for ever
sound as an echo between
the mountains.

R.I.P Wouter.
Jon Cannings
11th May 2011 10:38pm
My first friend in Belgium. We met on the 16th June 2004. I approached a friendly looking young guy and his helper and asked to borrow their track pump at a kermesse in Kruibeke. I later found out this was Wouter and his dad. the race got underway, a few laps in I double punctured and had to quit the race. So, back to the finish area I went. Problem, no spare inner tubes with me. I had ridden to the race and had brought no spares. I spotted Wouters dad, explained my situation, Mr Weylandt handed over two michelin inner tubes and wouldn't accept any Euro's for them. He then told me about his son, about how he had got 3rd in the Espoir Paris Roubaix a couple of weeks before. I knew this guy was onto something special. He had the look and desire to be a pro.
Off I went, googled him from the results online. Went onto his teams homepage, Bikeland Bornem. There was his email address. I added him on MSN, and got chatting. Mainly to thank his dad again for the inner tubes really,as I could of been stuck earlier in the day.
anyway, we got chatting and just remained in touch. Seeing each other at races etc. Including me dropping an absolute clanger, telling him in a race that I thought the girl working in his sponsors bikeshop was a "lekkerstuk". he replied, "I know man, she's my girlfriend". At that point I went bright red and simply grinned. He found it funny.
We carried on throughout the season, via MSN mainly. He went on to be a stagiaire at QuickStep. I went home to England.
My parents introduced themselves to Wouter at a race when he was an official pro at QuickStep, he replied "is Jon here? he should come out to race again". When my family told me this, I felt a warmth inside. A pro, riding for my favourite team, was asking after me! And I can class him as a friend, this felt really nice.
Another fond moment of Wouter was seeing a small article in a cycling magazine about Wouters hair. This made me chuckle, so I sent him a text message and he replied asking for a scan of it. So dutifully I did, and he loved it. He was a proud man and carried off the Euro cycling look brilliantly. Always immaculate on and off the bike and earning the admiration of many. He was someone I looked upto and followed always in the results.
At the team presentation of the Ster Elektrotoer I found myself close by. A quick text message to him to see if he was free to meet up. Of course he replied. It was raining but still made time to chat to me whilst signing autographs and posing for photo's with fans. This was a really nice thing, after all, it was raining and he didn't want to catch a cold etc, but still found the time for a friend.
The following winter the Quickstep team came to stay for a fortnight at a sports resort I was managing. It was great to be back out on the bike with a man that years before I had raced with. This time, I was racing just to keep up with him. Wouter would often look around with his cheeky smile or grin at me to see how I was coping. He was a cool guy, someone who you knew just loved riding his bike and when it was his day, he was the fastest there was. Seeing him at the Vuelta in 2008 was great, he was on the startline in Cudillero, we had a chat and shared a joke about something very funny that was going on at that time. This moment is captured here: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/223415_10150583204200562_540455561_18472079_2418977_n.jpg
Two days later Wouter was on the top step of the podium! he had won a stage of the Vuelta! I was so happy for him, this was simply amazing. His career has already involved plenty of wins, but to win a stage of a Grand Tour, simply breathtaking.
I could go on and on talking about these moments.
He was a rider I admired, respected and believed in. To class Wouter as a friend is an honour. To lose him is a piece of me taken away. The sadness that struck me massive, the tears running down my cheeks will go on for a long time. Pedaling and punishing the bike thinking of leading him out for a win to see his victory salute will go on for longer.
I miss you jongen, I miss you.

Rest in Peace, Wouter. I didn't know him, but I was a fan over here in the States. Seemed to be a class act all the way, and will be missed greatly.
The guys from StomachOfAnger.com are producing a shirt with profits also going to the fund Leopard-Trek has set up. I'm certainly buying, maybe a few others would be interested.

The Keldeo I just got from the event that started today has the Jolly nature, and the one I had before has Modest. Which one is the better choice?
Modest. Jolly raises the one of the stats that you really need yet it lowers a stat you need too - special attack. Modest raises a good stat and lowers a stat you shouldn't use - attack. Keldeo has more special attack than attack so why not use it?
For in-game it doesn't really matter. You can still whip people with a jolly keldeo.
Modest. Keldeo's base 129 Special Attack is there for a reason. If you don't get it, it is used as a Special sweeper.
Actually, if you can grab a Timid one, that would be even better, but Natures are pretty hard to get ingame.
jolly. jolly raises speed but subtracts SP attack. all of keldeos good moves are physical so it wouldnt matter if you subtract SP attack. but modest subtracts attack and raises SP attack which we dont want that!
hope I helped!
http://pokemondb.net/mechanics/natures http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/keldeo
EDIT: I suggest you use vitamans to raise its attack! (lots)

In November 2012 an art festival was organised to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Utrecht School of Arts. Having some roots in this art academy was enough reason for us to produce a short projected story for the festival. We have written an accessible show for all viewers that also pays an homage to all the hard working art students around the world.
'The Meristem' resembles our view of the creative and development process that many art students go through. We looked back at our development and realised that it was all about artistic growth, curiosity, making your way through and knowing that even at difficult times, there is always something that can inspire you back on your feet!
For an extra touch in the music, we formed a string quartet with students of the conservatory in Utrecht.

Unit 212 Vound up in the gas station on the comer (of Guy Lbmbardo and Merrick Road) and hit the gas pumps," Chief Maguire said. "There was no gas flow from the pumps."

The Orioles are playing baseball in October. I watched Game 2 against the Yankees on TV the other night. I saw those orange and black colors and the cartoony bird on the O's helmets and the warm breath shooting out of the hitters' mouths into the cool Baltimore air of early October . . . and I thought of the day my dad died when I was at Memorial Stadium, covering the World Series for the Washington Star in 1979.
It was Wednesday, Oct. 10. Today.
Dan, Thanks for a great column. What a tribute. All of us who have lost their fathers have a lump in our throats as we read these great words. Despite what year they died they are never forgotten. I will say a prayer that your Dad continues to watch over you and your family. Do you think he could help with helping the Sox pick the right manager. Rest in Peace, Mr. Shaughnessy.
I remember another time I called into a sports talk show -- it might have been Upton Bell's show -- and Steve Grogan was the in-studio guest, and I related to him my stories about being a beer vendor at Schaefer Stadium during his heyday, and how those were some of the best memories of my life, and Grogan said to me, sports is all about remembering special events.

This morning I was reading this blog "Rich JavaScript Applications – the Seven Frameworks" (http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2012/08 ... f-js-2012/) which was intended to "take the seven top JavaScript frameworks/libraries for single-page and rich JavaScript applications — AngularJS, Backbone, Batman, CanJS, Ember, Meteor, Knockout, Spine — get the creators of all of them in one location, and compare the technologies head to head."
I think it is a problem that YUI3 isn't being mentioned in these kind of lists and discussions, especially since it has a large company behind it with full time development happening. I have been prototyping our next large js app in YUI3, Ember and Angular and though I'm personally liking the YUI3 version the best, I'm worried about committing to it if it will always be harder to find others using it, especially considering hiring people with experience. I think it would help if some of the core people (especially Eric?) made it a point to get YUI in these kind of discussions. |
Have no fear! I spoke at that conference
Recently I spoke at both BackboneConf (in Boston, MA) and Throne of JS (in Toronto, ON). Steven Sanderson's post is about Throne of JS from the other week. I did a talk as well as a panel discussion at the conference. I wanted to do something different and discuss topics that I feel are more important than highlight the feature of YUI, instead I wanted to bring up points that are applicable to all the frameworks presented. I wrote up a quick summary of the conference including my slides on the YUI Blog earlier this week: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2012/07/30/ ... one-of-js/ They recorded all the sessions (including the panels), and the videos will hopefully be up soon. |
YUI we've worked withAddy Osmani's to include YUI in his two projects: TodoMVC (using YUI 3.6.0): http://todomvc.com/ Journey Through The JavaScript MVC Jungle: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012 ... vc-jungle/ |
I'll also probably be doing some evangelism work for YUI and Mojito too in the near future. I promised the Mojito team a TodoMVC example for them too, so that's going to be something coming up very soon.
If there's any other external projects/discussions that might be of interest to YUI or Mojito, definitely let us know! |
I would like to know what you guys think of the AngularJS project (built on top of jquery) and if there is anything that you think you could learn/take from it?
Certainly if you look at the todoMVC code for angular it is very short and simple and they seem to have identified a good deal of boilerplate which has got to be a win for developers. Is there any fit for something similar in YUI? |
Personally, I feel that Angular contains too much magic and some really scary implementation details to provide its simple facade. Understanding how Angular works will expose some wonky decisions that most JavaScript developers would shy away from.
Hmm, thanks for your reply, I was quite taken with the simplicity of what I first saw, and have been trying to work through the sample project to learn more. It does give you mixed feelings - a sort of awe over how simple they have made things yet a fear of losing granularity over what you are doing.
I would also comment that it's not nearly as comprehensive a library as yui, but simply an MVC library (so just the components similar to Y.App). I have to say though some of it can seem quite compelling which is why I was wondering if it any 'good' parts could be learnt from. However after reading through the docs some more it becomes apparent that it is completely different to yui. Still interesting though! and as regards to those wonky decisions and sanity of design - I wouldn't know (which is why I asked the question here) - but I would be interested to know more! |
Eric and I wrote the YUI App Framework version of the TodoMVC app, and most of the boilerplate code comes from how we decided to structure the application, and having finer-grained control over the DOM elements that make up the application.
What AngularJS does is use two-way data-binding, so you'll see some logic actually written into the HTML elements themselves. This can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you prefer to develop your application. It's often less boilerplate code, but you have less control over how your UI is affected by your application later on. We do want to eventually incorporate some form of data-binding into YUI, it's a great feature for developing some applications, but for now, YUI App Framework is closer to Backbone. This makes it more versatile as a framework, though you do end up working with less "magic" then some of the other ones, for sure. |
Very interesting topic, Could you expand on why you think AngularJS is scary?
IE 6 and 7 are not a concern for me when it comes to considering AngularJS, if that makes any difference. I agree that there seems to be perhaps a bit too much magic which could result in some debugging challenges down the road, but the minimal amount of boilerplate required to get two way binding is quite tempting. Thanks |

Hello einarq.
I wrote a stargazers monitor of the libraries or frameworks related to those resources: http://albertosantini.github.com/mvstar/ The posts, suggested in this thread, are well written and explain carefully the pros and cons of every approach. The main difference between the solutions is how to resolve data binding, a tradeoff between magic and flexibility. Eventually if you need to customize routing, data storage integration or the related component, you need to write a lot of code as well. So there is not a winning approach but it depends on the kind of architecture you figure out for your large-scale application. I prefer YUI / Backbone approach, seconding Clarence's opinion, because I have the feeling to be in "full control". For a try in the two-way data-binding realm, I tested Ember.js and I like it, but, as I said, it is always a tradeoff. Regards, IceBox |

In addition to the richness and diversty of flora in the Lastovo archipelago, there we can also find a significant number of animal species (141 species of vertebrates, out of which 118 are endangered). Especially birds – Lastovo islands are a resting place for numerous migratory birds on their voyage from Europe to Africa during September and October, and back from Africa in the spring. Birds such as shearwaters, seagulls, yelkouan shearwaters, and even the rare
