Farmer suggests a cable car solution to A40 traffic woes (From thisisoxfordshire)

Farmer suggests a cable car solution to A40 traffic woes
6:30am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in News By Matt Oliver, Reporter covering North Oxford, Jericho and Summertown. Call me on 01865 425498
THE morning commute from Witney to Oxford can be a trying experience.
And drivers on the A40 have long been begging for relief.
Today will see the beginning of Oxfordshire County Council's four-phase transport strategy, starting with a £2.5m set of improvements to the Ducklington Lane approach to the A40, using extra lanes.
The scheme will be followed by the creation of a new junction on the dual carriageway with Downs Road, to join with the soon-to-be-built West Witney 1,000-home development.
But some don't believe it is enough to improve the road and Bampton farmer John Hook has put forward a creative solution to Witney's traffic woes.
He is proposing that a cable car system be built along the 12-mile route via Farmoor and Eynsham.
Mr Hook said: "I have had the idea for about 30 years and put it down on a county council survey when they were asking about what should be done about the A40.
"It could follow where the railway line used to be between Witney and Oxford, with various stations on the way.
"It could obviously only take people and keep freight travelling on roads, but it would help reduce these vast queues of traffic with only one person sitting in each car.
"I haven't costed it, but because it would not take up much space on the ground it would not be disruptive."
Mr Hook said the idea had come from his time skiing.
When the Oxford Mail approached ski gondola firm Snowflex about the potential cost of the scheme, a speculative £5m to £25m was suggested.
Oxfordshire County Council transport chief David Nimmo-Smith said: "I don't want to knock this idea on the head, because it is interesting.
"But I can foresee a lot of issues, like the costs to install it and also of maintenance.
"There are more economic ways to improve transport links between Witney and Oxford.
"We are looking at a number of measures in the short-term at the moment, but it is always good to look at long-term ones too, like this gentleman."
The idea follows calls from two petitions demanding improvements to the A40.
Northleach resident Colin Holmes drives to work in Woodstock Road, Oxford, along the A40.
He set up a petition, signed by 127 people, asking the Department of Transport to reopen the Witney to Oxford railway line, make the A40 a dual carriageway and build a tram system.
And 413 people have signed a change.org e-petition set up by West Oxfordshire District Council Labour group leader Duncan Enright calling for a four-way junction on the A40 at Shores Green.

The biggest stumbling block is probably the notorioius Oxford(shire) faction of the CPRE - they would never be prepared to sanction an elevated transport system visible from Oxfordshire's countryside.
Then there would be outrage if it went alongside or was visible from Port Meadow.

Well, it works in New York as the Roosevelt Island aerial tramway. London also has cable cars across the Thames in Docklands.

Neither are as good as running tram-trains along the Fairford branch. My bus comment is just to illustrate how daft the cable car idea is.

faatmaan wrote:You're right of course, but the same contradictions apply in the city. A fair bit of land in the suburban centres is given over to low-density uses like car parking. THe City has proposed building housing on Union St and Summertown car parks, and look at the shrill opposition that has stirred up. The University's project to alleviate pressure on HMOs by building a hall of residence on St Clement's car park was similarly opposed.
everybody wants to live in more rural locations, yet are not prepared to suffer the volume of traffic attributable to their lifestyle choices, cake and eat it come to mind, there needs to be massive housing developments inside Oxford to alleviate these difficulties,
'Cake and eat it' applies to wanting cheaper housing, and low-density development, at the same time.

Hugh Jaeger says...
The smartest options between Witney and Oxford are light rail (which would be cheaper) or heavy rail (which could also take military freight tfor Brize Norton).
Meanwhile, redoubling the Cotswold Line between Wolvercote and Charlboury would help. Then trains could run hourly, and the hourly Witney – Woodstock bus could connect with them. Passengers using Hanborough station have trebled in the last 15 years, and many of them are commuters from Witney.
3:50pm Sat 31 May 14
King Joke says...
Some t|t has written into the Ox Times this week promoting a monorail along the A40 which doesn't even serve the City Centre. He argues that monorails work in Seattle and Sydney - all this proves is that the English-speaking world is cucking flueless when it comes to public transport. We should just try being a bit more German, Dutch or Spanish.

Couplet care enhances bonding and the ability to breastfeed, but babies are welcome in the nursery if mom and dad need a break from time to time.
Safety and Support Always
We want expectant mothers to know that we are prepared for anything, and safety is our top priority. With our newborn security system, HUGS, we ensure that all of our babies are protected inside the unit. The state-of-the-art system sounds an alarm if an infant is moved from the unit without authorization.
Women have access to 24-hour anesthesia coverage for safe and effective pain management options. In addition we have 24-hour in-house obstetrical coverage by attending obstetricians and neonatologists. Rest assured knowing that should your newborn require close monitoring in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, it is located just steps away from our Obstetric unit.

Super easy and very tasty! Added a bit of dry mustard and I only added half the salt and checked for seasoning and found that it was salty enough - probably due to the salt in the cheeses. Even my crummy oven couldn't ruin it!
Have made this successfully several times. The last time, I did not have whole milk and 1% was fine. I try to separate the eggs in advance and let them sit at room temp for a while. I've changed the measurements to 6 whites and 4 yolks and reduced the other ingredients by about a third with no problem. Don't forget to leave time for the base to cool before adding the whites. I'd like to try freezing this, too (I hear this can be done with souffles prior to baking). Just ate leftover souffle for lunch and although it was no longer very puffy it was still quite good.
This is fantastic, as is. Filled probably a six-cup souffle dish, then put the rest in four small ramekins. The large souffle turned out the best - rose beautifully, browned perfectly on top. The small ones that I baked the following day didn't rise as much, and got a bit too brown on top. This is a keeper. Perfect for brunch - eggy and cheesy.
This is EXCELLENT. Easy to make, and the results are incomparable. I used Trader Joe's Gruyere/White Cheddar blend and their pecorino/romano/parmesan blend because that's what I had on hand. Don't omit the cayenne & nutmeg; they add the perfect subtle depth of flavor. The souffle baked perfectly and came out silky smooth. I love that you can add anything else you like...chives are great, or thyme or sage, or bacon or...? But just as written is yummy. Husband LOVED it too.
I have made this recipe dozens of times and it is perfect every time. I follow the recipe exactly. The batter is gorgeous and the souffle beautiful and delicious. I recommend measuring and prepping in advance so that you can work quickly.
Made recipe as it was written, and it was fast, easy and full of flavor. I used a really good Gruyere. It doesn't ask for much, so it's worth it to use a great cheese. An excellent base to get creative and build on with your favorite flavors, but truly excellent as it is.
This is one of my go-to recipes for a light lunch or dinner. I always serve it with a salad. It is the only souffle recipe I've been brave enough to make and it hasn't let me down. I do put the 10-cup souffle dish in the fridge to chill after buttering and coating with the Parmesan. If you are lucky to have any leftover...it is really yummy the next morning for breakfast.
We really enjoyed this souffle. Simple to make and great on Fri during Lent! Didnt want to buy gruyere so used an Italian shredded blend I already had along with good Parmesan. Halved the recipe and made in smaller ramekins. Served with crisp salad and we were good to go. Even meat-lover hubby was impressed.
This is the best souffle I have ever made. It is totally reliable. I have never had a failure. I've added vegetables and/or meat to it to great effect. I've halved it with success.
This is an amazing recipe! I adjusted the flavorings by using smoked paprika instead of cayenne and adding 1/2 tsp of dry mustard. Then, I substituted Tilamook sharp cheddar for the gruyere and bourbon for the white wine. After that I added the meat from 1 cooked and cleaned dungeness crab (around 6 oz. of meat total, I would guess) and 1 heaping tsp of minced fresh thyme. Due to the presence of the crab, I also added an extra 1/2 cup of milk, which caused the cooking time to be around 15 minutes longer. All that being said, it tasted absolutely wonderful! My husband and I couldn't stop eating it!

A home renovation project can give you the opportunity to boost comfort levels, add convenience, space and lower energy costs by improving your home's energy efficiency.
The first step to saving energy is to finding out how and where you're wasting it. Get an energy assessment before starting your renovations to determine which rooms are problem areas in your home. Once you know where you're wasting energy, follow these tips to make your home as energy efficient as possible.
- Home renovations could mean shopping for new, more energy efficient kitchen appliances. Replace older appliances and equipment with high-efficiency
ENERGY STAR® rated products. Rebates are available for AEP Ohio residential customers.
- Install an oven hood that is externally vented to filter steam from your stove outside. Steam can contribute to the temperature in your home, making it harder for the A/C to keep your house cool in the summer.
- Get $60 when you recycle your old, working refrigerator or freezer before August 31. Doing this can save you up to $150 a year in energy costs and protects the environment!
- Invest $10 on a low-flow shower head and yield hot water savings of 25-60 percent.
- Control moisture and save energy by installing ENERGY STAR qualified ventilation fans. See the EPA's WaterSense program for information about high-performance products.
- Seal air leaks and install the appropriate insulation in walls behind tubs and showers during your renovation.
Living Area
- When redecorating after a big home renovation, make sure to keep furnishings away from floor or return air vents. Vents that are blocked can prevent air from circulating properly.
- Switch to high-performance compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. You'll find a large selection of energy-efficient lighting, specialty CFLs and LEDs with immediate discounts in our online SMART Lighting Store.
- Install a programmable thermostat and adjust temperatures at night, or when you are not at home, to lower your energy use and your bill!
Laundry Room
- Take the time to inspect your dryer vent to ensure that it is not blocked. You may want to consider having it cleaned professionally while doing your other renovations.
- If you are looking into buying a new dryer, consider purchasing a model with a moisture sensor that will automatically shut the machine off when your clothes are dry.
- Ponder the idea of installing an outdoor laundry line during your renovation. Air-drying will save you the cost of running the dryer in warmer months and help your clothes last longer.
- Install a ceiling fan to keep cool air circulating at night without running up your energy bill.
- Installation of lighting controls such as dimmers, timers, motion sensors and photocells can help you adjust lighting levels for different uses and times of the day. Keep your lights dimmed before bed to help you ease into sleep, and save energy at the same time.
- If you have plans to install window treatments, (such as draperies, shades and shutters) hang them as close to the window as possible to create a sealed air space. Doing this can trap extra heat and keep you feeling warm!
Cities of Lima, Louisville and Discovery District of Columbus, exceed participation goals
Three fortunate Ohio communities — the cities of Lima, Louisville and the Discovery District of Columbus, located in the eastern half of Downtown Columbus — have exceeded their participation goals in AEP Ohio's Community Energy Savers, an innovative, new energy efficiency pilot program.
The program works with governments and communities to encourage residents and businesses to participate in energy efficiency programs offered by AEP Ohio.
Not only do community members benefit from saving energy and money in their homes and businesses, but also their actions help the community receive incentives from AEP Ohio that can be put towards an improvement project identified by the community.
For exceeding its goal of 750 participants, the city of Lima received $75,000 to use towards lighting upgrades at Simmons Field, home of the Lima Locos and other area baseball teams.
For exceeding its goal of 300 participants, the city of Louisville received $30,000 to use towards lighting upgrades at the YMCA, and the Library's Old Post Office building.
For exceeding its goal of 100 participants, the Discovery District received $10,000 to use towards energy efficiency projects at the Thurber Center, Kelton House and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Remaining funds will be used for a celebratory event to further promote sustainability.
In addition, AEP Ohio is awarding each community with a Sustainability Roadmap that will provide a framework for their ongoing sustainability initiatives.
To achieve this goal, community representatives made remarkable efforts promoting AEP Ohio's energy efficiency programs and educating the community members on the benefits of energy efficiency and sustainability, and how to participate in AEP Ohio's efficiency programs.
"We honor the leadership of these first three communities — the Discovery District in Columbus, Lima and Louisville — and applaud their successes," said Jon Williams, Manager of Energy Efficiency and Demand Response for AEP Ohio. "Each community approached the challenge with different strategies and all have won. Plus, more than 1,200 participants benefitted from learning about or participating in energy efficiency programs to save energy and money in the homes and businesses of these three communities."
If your community is interested in participating in Energy Savers, contact Sherry Hubbard, Energy Efficiency Programs Coordinator, at email@example.com or call 740-349-4004 to discuss the opportunity.

Meet one of AEP Ohio's newer line mechanics: Brandi Persch.
Persch, who is currently enrolled in the company's line school as an apprentice, is assigned to a Columbus service center that serves the city's southwest quadrant.
Brandi's journey to becoming a line mechanic began back in 1998 when she joined the company as a meter reader.
Any time additional training was offered, Persch saw it as an opportunity to expand her technical capabilities.
It wasn't until the 2012 Derecho, however, when Persch got a chance to help with the company's massive restoration efforts that the idea of becoming a line mechanic began to take root.
"It was the first time I got to see line work in progress," Persch said. "I was fascinated by what I saw."
"It may seem a bit different for a woman to want to be a line mechanic, but I love it!" Persch explained. "I set my goal to train hard and work every day toward the goal of becoming a candidate for line school."
Steps to becoming a line mechanic
When an employee applies for a line mechanic position, they have to successfully pass the following assessments. The first step in getting qualified is to take the CAST and Strength tests.
The CAST test helps determine whether the candidate has the aptitude for the duties required in the line mechanic position. The Strength test determines whether the candidate can handle the physical aspects – which can be very demanding — of the job.
Following successful passing of the CAST and Strength tests, the candidate can advance to take the Pre-Assessment.
The Pre-Assessment involves a number of challenging tasks including the following:
•Climbing poles at various heights from 4 to 20 feet, with and without fall restraints
•Conducting several tasks such as installing crossarms while on the pole at 4 feet
•Carrying a 25-foot ladder weighing 60 lbs. and materials weighing 20 lbs.
•Ladder climbing and performing a job task safely while on a ladder
•Climbing inside a bucket truck and elevation to a height of 46 – 50 feet
A day in the life
From conversations with her peers, Persch learned the job of a line mechanic is demanding and often times hazardous. Line mechanics can work long hours in extreme conditions and are on call 24 hours a day. They can also be away from home for long periods of time while doing storm restoration work in other states.
Knowing she would need the support of her family if she were to pursue this career, Persch talked to her husband, his parents and her parents, and everyone gave their blessings and support.
Having her family's encouragement inspired her to continue working toward her goal. Last August, her hard work paid off. Persch passed the Pre-Assessment and accepted her current position. Persch still has a long road ahead of her, but says it's the journey not the destination.
Apprentices go through 9,000 hours of on-the-job training and classroom instruction over a four-year period. To graduate, students must pass a written exam at 80 percent and demonstrate mastery of the competencies learned by passing seven field events at 100 percent.
When asked what advice she would give to other women and men who might be interested in the line mechanic profession, Persch says, "If you want to be a part of this elite group, you need to make sure it is truly what you want and know why you want it. Then you must work hard, set your goals and go for it."
From 2013 through 2015, AEP Ohio is investing $1 billion to keep Ohio shining brightly.
This investment is being used to improve our electric transmission system by replacing aging infrastructure and bolstering the grid so that we can continue to meet Ohio's growing electricity demands.
We're also aware that several power plants are expected to retire soon. This will change the way electricity flows onto the grid, meaning that we need to make some adjustments to our transmission infrastructure to maintain a dependable supply of electricity for our customers.
To keep the lights on across the state, we are constantly looking ahead to plan for what changes in the industry may impact our customers' electricity supply. We are already planning, engineering and constructing transmission projects in most of our service areas including:
•Northwestern Ohio: receiving a new 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission station, with improvements to several existing stations and upgrades to existing transmission lines
•South central Ohio: receiving a new transmission station and two new 138-kV transmission lines
•Southeastern Ohio: about 50 miles of a 345-kV transmission line is being rewired
We are always happy to hear from property owners, customers and stakeholders with comments or questions about any of our transmission infrastructure projects. Just call our Transmission Project Information Line on 614-883-6929 or toll-free 1-877-215-9261 or email Brett Schmied, project outreach specialist, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also attend various local project workshops or Ohio Power Siting Board public hearings.
Information about all of our transmission projects, workshops and public hearings is available online at www.aeptransmission.com/ohio/
Ohio is famous for its fluctuations in weather, especially in the summer, which can be both positive and negative for customers who are looking to achieve energy efficiency during the warmer seasons.
There are small, easy steps you can take to lower energy costs this summer without depriving yourself of the simple comforts at home. What is the first step you can take? Get an energy assessment and learn where possible energy efficiency problems areas are in your home.
Cooling can get expensive during the summer, when temperatures are highest in Ohio. You'll be happy to know that you can keep your house cool without breaking the bank this summer. You just have to know how!
Windows and Vents
1) Installing window treatments, awnings or light-colored shades can make a world of difference in keeping the heat out.
2) Close shades on south-facing windows to block sunlight during the day.
3) Make sure to keep all vents uncovered and keep their filters cleaned. The harder the vent has to work to push air out, the more energy it will use.
4) Open your windows on cooler nights to let the cold air in and cool your home naturally.
5) Keep heat-producing appliances away from air conditioning units. They will sense the heat from these appliances and continue to run even if the house has already cooled down.
6) Use your microwave instead of a conventional oven to avoid letting warm air into your kitchen and home.
7) Turn fans off when you leave a room.
8) Install a programmable thermostat that you can set to fluctuate with your schedule. Set it to a higher temperature while you are gone during the day, and schedule it to cool down right before you get home.
9) Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible. Having it on a radically low setting will not increase the rate that the house cools down.
10) Run your ceiling fans with your air conditioning. They allow you to increase your thermostat temperature by up to four degrees.
11) Looking for new appliances this summer? Make sure to look for the yellow EnergyGuide label on appliances and compare the energy efficiency of different models. AEP Ohio offers Energy Star certified appliances and even offers a rebate to customers who make the switch! (Photo credit: consumer.ftc.gov)

Electricity is a safe and reliable form of energy that is used every day to power equipment and appliances in your home. However, it can be dangerous in not treated properly. The following is a checklist of items that you can use throughout your home to help protect your family.
Whole House
Make sure light bulbs are the appropriate wattage for all fixtures.
- Keep portable heaters and dehumidfiers stable and placed at least three feet from walls and other objects.
- Cover all outlets with face plates that fit snugly to walls.
- If small children are present, install covers on all unused outlets.
- Keep electrical cords away from foot traffic and make sure that they are not covered by rugs or furniture.
- Do not use extension cords on a permanent basis. Install extra outlets, or move electrical devices closer to outlets.
- Unplug counter top appliances when not in use.
- Locate appliance cords where they will not come into contact with a heat source, such as the stove or range.
- Make sure all kitchen outlets are ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected. GFCIs monitor the current that flows into circuits and shut it off if an imbalance is detected.
- Unplug all small appliances when not in use.
- Never use electrical devices, such as a radios or hair dryers, in or near the bathtub.
- Install only GFCI outlets in the bathroom.
- Avoid drinking water or any other type of liquid when using an electric blanket or heating pad. Do not cover an electric blanket when in use.
- Make sure electric blankets are in good condition; check for cracks or breaks that may indicate damage.
- Keep the electrical panel free from obstructions, and make sure your hands and the floor are dry before touching the panel.
- Install GFCIs in outlets located near clothes washers or wash tubs, or all over the basement if it is damp.
- Install protective covers on all outlets and make sure all outlets are GFCIs.
- Make sure power tools are in good condition and wires are not cracked or frayed.
- Store power tools indoors to keep them from being damaged by water or excessive heat.
- Never use power tools or electrical devices near a pond or other wet location.
- When working outdoors, use only weather-resistant extension cords marked for outdoor use.
- Power lines may be underground as well. Before digging, call 811 to have utility lines marked.
This list is for informational purposes only and is not meant to supersede any state or local building codes. Contact your state fire marshal or local building inspector for any information regarding code requirements in your area. Remember that common sense and good safety habits are the best protection against electrical hazards.
AEP Ohio Announces the Discovery District Civic Association's Participation In Community Energy Savers Program
AEP Ohio and the Discovery District Civic Association (DDCA) are partnering to help residents and businesses reduce energy use and costs through a pilot program called Community Energy Savers.
Community Energy Savers, launched by AEP Ohio, works with communities to encourage residents and businesses to participate in energy efficiency programs offered by AEP Ohio. Not only do community members benefit from saving energy and money in their homes and businesses, their actions also help the community receive incentives from AEP Ohio that can be put towards an improvement project identified by the community.
"AEP Ohio continually seeks to improve the quality of life in the communities where we live and work. That's why we are enthusiastic about joining with communities in our new Energy Savers program," said Jon Williams, energy efficiency and consumer programs manager for AEP Ohio. "The program helps to educate residents about our energy-saving programs as well as the many solutions and incentives available for businesses."
Working with the Discovery District, AEP Ohio has established a goal of 100 participants by June 30. If this goal is reached in time, AEP Ohio will provide funding to complete an energy efficiency project in the District and sponsor a green event for the community. In addition, the Discovery District is currently working with the city of Columbus to receive certification as a GreenSpot Neighborhood. By participating in Energy Savers, community members can help the Discovery District with both of these initiatives and demonstrate the neighborhood's commitment to sustainable practices.
"Participating in Energy Savers is a great way for the District's residents and businesses to learn more about energy efficiency and the incentives available through AEP Ohio that will save customers money on their bottom line," says Harlan Schottenstein, president of the DDCA. "In addition, the Energy Savers pilot program will also help the Discovery District be the first to receive the GreenSpot Neighborhood certification through the city of Columbus."
Customers of AEP Ohio located in the Discovery District can participate in Energy Savers in a variety of ways – regardless of whether they purchase their generation from AEP Ohio or from an alternative retail electric supplier.
For instance, customers can recycle their old, inefficient refrigerators through the Appliance Recycling program and receive a $50 incentive check plus free pickup. Customers also can schedule an assessment with the In-home Energy program to identify and correct areas in their homes where they may be wasting energy. Technical support and financial incentives are also available to help business customers that install energy efficient equipment and technologies.
To learn more about how to participate and help the Discovery District, visit EnergySavers2014.com.
Visit AEPOhio.com/WasteLess for information about AEP Ohio's energy efficiency programs for residents. For information about energy efficiency programs for businesses, visit AEPOhio.com/Solutions.

ST. LOUIS—— Quarterback Michael Vick threw a pair of touchdown passes, ran for 99 yards and led the Eagles to a solid 31-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams in their season opener at the Edward Jones Dome this afternoon.
Running back LeSean McCoy helped apply the finishing touch by taking a handoff and racing 49 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown that boosted his rushing total over 100 yards for the day.
Steven Jackson which immediately followed a punt that was forced by a sack from behind of Vick.
But the Eagles battled back with an 80-yard touchdown drive to tie it and went ahead for good when Juqua Parker returned a fumble 56 yards for a touchdown late in the first quarter.
The Rams were hurt by the first-quarter departure of Jackson with a quadriceps injury. Jackson, who had 56 yards on just two carries, did not return.
In the second half, the Eagles seized control with two touchdowns that essentially put the game out of reach.
The first came when wide receiver DeSean Jackson finished off a 63-play drive with a 6-yard reception.
Jackson finished with six catches for a game-high 102 receiving yards.

wifi from outside the rv to inside the rv...I need help??
Okay, I followed the suggestions, and have tried the following: First, to 1492.. thanks for that testmy.net link, that works really well! I also found (I think someone here told me about it, but I can't find it now??) an Android app, "Wifi Analyzer" on Google play that is absolutely fantastic!!!!! HIGHLY recommend it if you are having problems or questions about your service!! VERY handy app!! Now: took the phone, with the "Wifi Analyzer" on, and wandered around inside the fiver and then outside the fiver and then into the Casita where the router is. Basically, the signal is off the chart inside the Casita, but inside the fiver the signal is a pretty poor. BUT, I also took my laptop and went inside the Casita, had the Netgear wifi dongle to get "N" speeds and went online. Using the "testmy.net" (good link, but watch what you click on, the adverts can be confusing!!) and also "speedtest.net", I found out that the best I could get with the best signal is 1.3mbps DL and .4mbps UL. Soooo, then I went back outside to the fiver, turned the TP-Link 450mbps wifi card back on, and connected to the router, ran both the testmy.net and speedtest.net tests and found that what I was getting out in the fiver was NO better than inside the Casita. So, I guess it is what it is. We are tenants, here for the season and I guess we accept it as it is, now that we know it's the service not the equipment. Many thanks to all for the suggestions and the links, I hope this might help someone else. I was almost ready to start throwing money at repeater/booster equipment until I found out it would serve no purpose. Still, those two links and that app for the phone are great!! I'll be using those again, likely very frequently as we travel. Oh yeah, one other thing, kind of irrelevant but may be interesting to someone?? After all the testing, I disconnected from the Casita router and turned my phone hotspot on and connected and re-ran the tests with testmy.net and speedtest.net. W O W !! 10.x download and upload!! Verizon, 4G LTE for those who care, fast, but expensive if you're going to be doing a lot of surfing, just sayin'!

wifi from outside the rv to inside the rv...I need help??
OK, more clarification... On a private lot in Yuma area...two RV spots and a Casita (little house). Owner is not here yet, just us. We have the place, and the router, to ourselves. The router is a CenturyLink, and to get it started, they had to reset it because it had been off for....six months? Now on, it sits near the ceiling in the Casita, which is about ??? 34-40 feet from where my computer sits, inside our fiver and down low. No campground involved, no one else on this thing, just us, two computers and a phone. We've been here and on the wifi since Monday (now Friday evening) and this thing is SLOW! At home, we have cable dsl, 1000mbps, and wifi to the trailer outside is about the same distance from the router as we are here, but the speed inside the trailer here VS at home...no comparison. Almost...might as well be on dial up again. So there we are... Oh yeah, why is it so heavy? It's got a radiator to cool it off, liquid cooling in a computer...and it ain't new. I bought this in 2009, it's old...like me!!

wifi from outside the rv to inside the rv...I need help??
OK, I "manage" to get most of my 'tech stuff' handled, but this has me stumped. Right now we're 'parked' in southern AZ. If we use our phone (4g LTE) as a hotspot we get great speed. But using the wifi that comes with our parking spot (we're on a private lot) the speed sucks, and its hardwired dsl! I just installed a TP-Link wifi card in the pc, supposedly capable of 450mpbs. It's in an Alienware desktop that sits on the floor of our slide out, on the 'away' side of our rv, about 40(?) feet from the wall wherein the wifi router resides. (I might mention we are in an aluminum framed fifth wheel, if that makes a difference?) If I open the TP-Link interface, it says our network "rate" is between 10-20 mbps and if we try and download anything that has video (weather channel) it is sooooo slow, the video stops multiple times just to catch up!! What can I do about this? Is there some kind of gizmo that I can put outside our fiver to receive and boost the signal inside to the PC? The PC is pretty much stuck where it is...it weighs 89 pounds so the floor is where it's gotta stay! (Yeah, I know, I could leave it home and use the laptop, but it's WAY more computer than my laptop, what can I say? Anybody got any ideas what kind of gizmo I can get to boost the outside wifi to the inside wifi antennas so that my speed gets better? Please??? And thanks!

Fifth wheel chucking
I would recommend you take a look at the Trailersaver air ride hitch. It will fit into a set of standard fiver hitch bed rails and will give you one of the smoothest rides you can get pulling a fiver. We are on our second, in our F350, the first being on our last truck a Volvo 770. We absolutely LOVE the hitch, adjusted by switch inside the cab, can be firmed up or aired down to suit your preference. Definitely worth a look, lots of them out there!!

Car parked at home while gone
Used it for years now, on anything on the ranch that runs on gasoline and I would NOT be without it. I mean: Chain saws, weed whackers, pressure washers, lawn mowers, lawn tractors, grain auger motors, family cars & farm trucks. That's not a complete list, but I'll tell you WHY I use it. When I was younger, I remember starting "seasonal" equipment, and pulling, pushing, cranking, yanking and lots of frustration. But once I started using Stabil, plain and simple...those problems went away and I sure didn't miss the frustration at all! Besides, the peace of mind is worth the....what? maybe $30-$50 a year I'd spend for enough Stabil for all all these gizmos? Most of the above had relatively small fuel tanks, so I didn't need a lot. The vehicles always got a double dose at the end of their season's work, and I always figured it made a difference in starting 'em up for the next session. Now that we're retired, the car sits for six months a year and it definitely gets a dose, as does our Honda EU3000, and I still use it in all the small engine gizmos. Would I quit using it? NO WAY!! Peace of mind and lack of frustration is well worth the small amount I spend on it. Just remember, opinions are like ashcans, everyone's got one, this'n is mine!

OFF KENT ISLAND ——Officers have returned to the scene of the crime, where last year they pulled up miles of illegal nets filled with 12.6 tons of striped bass from the frigid waters off Kent Island.
This year they are armed with new weapons: side-scan sonar to detect underwater nets, new laws passed by the General Assembly that expand their authority and public sentiment that has demanded a halt to poaching of the state's signature fish.
The commercial season began Tuesday and will continue through February. Last year, the Department of Natural Resources closed the season three weeks early while biologists assessed the potential damage caused by poaching.
The threat of closing still hangs in the air.
"If we find more nets, the possibility of closing the fishery is very real," said Tom O'Connell, the DNR's Fisheries Service director. "The General Assembly will be watching this season very closely and will not stand by and let it happen again."
No one was arrested last year, and just the thought of poachers striking once more has made honest watermen nervous.
It's not that illegal nets were new last year. In 2010, for example, officers hauled in nearly five miles of nets.
"The difference is we never found nets that full of fish," Rafter said. "Somebody knew what they were doing. It was our first time finding nets like that, but it wasn't their first time putting them there."
On Wednesday morning, Rafter and Officer James Seward nosed their patrol boat, NRP 139, away from the department's dock on Kent Island and pushed through a layer of slush before reaching the Chesapeake Bay.
Sub-freezing temperatures did not deter watermen hoping to reach their daily 1,200-pound quota. Low-slung workboats bobbed in the water as crewmen strained to haul in their nets and sort fish.
The two officers began their rounds, boarding boats to check documents and ensure that nets carried the watermen's license number and were of legal size. They inspected the catch, looking for over- or undersized fish.
This season, a new tool — Pocket Cop — has been added to their arsenal. The smartphone application allows officers to look for outstanding warrants, check a waterman's license and make sure the tags that must be attached to each fish before it is sold were issued to the waterman using them.
As they motored to the next boat, the officers looked at the sonar screen for signs of a thin white line announcing the presence of an illegally submerged net anchored to the bay bottom.
Sonar is replacing a decidedly low-tech tool: the grappling hook. Officers used to pull the hook behind their boats, hoping to snag an illegal net. The work was likened to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The sonar shows us where to look," Rafter said. "Then we can use the hook to pull the nets up. It would have been fantastic last year."
By June 1, the DNR hopes to institute a system called "Hail In/Hail Out," requiring watermen to call the agency before leaving the dock if they want to check in their catches at the end of the day.
In addition, officers and fisheries biologists have been authorized to conduct surprise audits of the check stations, O'Connell said.
The discovery of illegal nets generated headlines along the East Coast and raised questions among regional fisheries managers about Maryland's ability to manage striped bass, also known as rockfish.

Seems a bit of a joke to go on about regulating what is in our cosmetics when the FDA is supposed to be regulating toxic tobacco which kills over 500,000 Americans each year! Thought I would forward this anyway…
Have you ever taken the time to read your shampoo label? Just what are all those chemicals in there? And how about your lipstick? Or your aftershave?
Did you know that a majority of the chemicals found in our personal products are linked to asthma, breast cancer and learning disabilities?
Watch the video and take action now!
I wanted to share a new video with you, called The Story of Cosmetics, a seven-minute film exposing the ugly truth about personal care products. It was produced by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (of which Friends of the Earth is a founding member), Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff Project and Free Range Studios.
The average woman uses 12 personal care products daily and the average man uses 6. Sunscreens, baby shampoo, lipsticks, and deodorants line our bathroom walls. Yet, less than 20 percent of the chemicals in our cosmetics have been tested for safety by the industry's safety panel, meaning that we don't know what our products do to us when we use them.
Finally there is something we can do about it. Help ensure groundbreaking safe cosmetics legislation — the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 — by contacting your elected officials now!
For the first time in 70 years, we have a real chance to pass a bill that would eliminate chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems from the products women, men and children put on their bodies every day. This bill also includes important provisions for the use of manufactured nanomaterials in cosmetics and personal care products.1
We need all hands on deck: Click here to watch the video and urge your elected officials to co-sponsor common-sense safe cosmetics legislation that ensures everyone has access to safe products!
Taking care of our bodies shouldn't put our health at risk. I hope you watch and share The Story of Cosmetics with your family and friends. And thanks in advance for asking Congress to get behind safe cosmetics legislation. Together, we're going to make sure that the personal products we use daily will not harm our health or the environment.

A new state-of-the-art elementary school is scheduled to open next month in Hancock County. It is the first new building in almost a century and has some impressive, modern features.
Crews have been diligently working and the superintendent says the new Cory-Rawson Elementary School will open in March.
One of the most impressive features in the new elementary school is the use of technology. Every classroom will feature some sort of interactive learning tool, such as smart boards. Additionally, the nearly $13 million, 58,000 square-foot building is Silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified. Sensors in the ceilings keep electricity use low and allow more natural lighting.
Big windows do more than let light inside.
"[The windows are] shatter resistant. You can shoot a hole through it, but you can't shatter the glass. It also becomes a tornado safety issue. The glass won't break and shatter and fly into the kids," explained Robert Hlasko, superintendent of Cory-Rawson Local Schools.
Another safety feature is there is only one entrance for the entire building. A hallway will eventually connect the high school to the elementary school.
"People will be able to walk into the foyer here and get buzzed in or stopped - if need be - for security reasons," said Hlasko.
The gym, cafeteria and library will be shared by the entire district. The classrooms are for pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. Kindergarteners have their own bathroom and water fountains inside classrooms.
"We hope this could be a draw for students to come here, as well a new building - better quality, bigger size," said Hlasko.
The district has taxpayers to thank. With the approval of a 2009 bond issue, they gave nearly $6 million.
"We really thank them for their effort and their sacrifice, and hopefully they will see that their sacrifice has been well worth it," said Hlasko.

Thanks to "the tremendous efforts of staff," Arizona Department of Economic Security says payment of extended unemployment benefits will go out for the week ending January 5, 2013.
The department made some computer programming changes as a result of the federal government's last-minute extension of emergency unemployment benefits.
Congress passed the legislation and President Barack Obama signed it this week.
DES said earlier Friday there may be a delay in receipt of benefits by up to seven business days, but luckily, that was avoided. Roughly 35,000 Arizonans who rely on these benefits were saved by the fast work of DES.
Qualifying individuals are encouraged to continue filing for benefits.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Milwaukee's biggest cookout will be renewed Monday, when Brewers' fans fire up the grills for the baseball season's first tailgating outside of Miller Park.
The usual sellout crowd of 42,000-plus is expected for the Brewers' Opening Day contest against the Colorado Rockies. It should be about 60-degrees for the game, under the stadium's retractable roof.
But it will be much colder for the pre-game partying. A high of only 34 degrees is expected, under sunny skies. Milwaukee's normal high for the date is 48.
Once inside the ballpark, fans will find lots to do. Among the new things is a 25 foot climbing wall in the highest part of the seating areas, the Dew Deck above the right field bleachers.
Yovani Gallardo will make his fourth straight Opening Day start for the Brew Crew.
The team won its division two years ago, but struggled last summer before rallying to finish at 83-and-79 – just barely missing the playoffs.
Monday's first pitch is at 1:10, pregame is at 12:35 right here on 97.5/1360 News Talk WTAQ.

I need a favor. Would one of you kind people please send me, via PM, the "Let Fame" blessay? Perhaps someone needs to up their karma points today?
So that I don't get a bejillion, I ask the first nice person to come to my rescue: please note so in this thread.
Is this cool?
The October 22 New Yorker, David Denby , in his abstract, "Fallen Idols," discourses on the subject of fame. In particular, old versus new Hollywood, as put forth in Jeanine Bassinger's new book, "The Star Machine."
The November issue of The Atlantic Monthly chimes in with it's own article, this one by Michael Hirschorn, "Fallen Stars." The subtitle is, "Can celebrities survive the age of too much information."
What fun to have this trinity of good reading!

ROSE Blog Interviews: GSoC participant Kanika Vats
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
The 2009 Google Summer of Code recently wrapped up. In this interview, GSoC participant Kanika Vats shares her first experience in the world of open source.
Q: Who are you?
A: I am Kanika Vats and I was selected for the Database Abstractions project by Systers as part of this year's Google Summer of Code. I am doing B-Tech in Information Technology (IT) from Delhi College of Engineering, India.
Q: What do you currently do in open source? What do you love about it?
A: This year's GSoC was my first contribution to the open source world and I will like to continue my contributions to open source whenever I get the opportunity. The best thing about open source is the huge opportunity it provides to everyone who wants to explore their career in the technical world and develop in their field of interest. The way people from different streams come together, exploit their talents, cooperate, coordinate, focus their collective efforts towards a common goal that will help many more people in the end is the best part about open source.
Q: You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an open source-related career? What should they know about the open source environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
A: From what I can see, women can consider moving into an open source-related career as it will provide them:
- Opportunity to work from their home place. This means you can organize your time yourself and spend quality time with your family.
- Excellent community support that will help you to develop in things that you lag behind in.
- You can contribute in any field of your interest wherever you feel comfortable.
- Recognition and respect. People here acknowledge you for your work – your work speaks for you.
I will say the best thing about open source is that you can start from anywhere on anything; you do not need to have a prior experience or expert knowledge. But open source experience can be better for beginners if they know a few basic things, such as how things work in the open source world, how people from different regions and technical backgrounds work together on a project, and basic rules of IRC, mailing lists, version control, etc.
They should be aware of the fact that everyone here is taking out time from their busy life, you cannot expect them to spoon feed you in issues that you are not able to resolve. Some people can be very helpful, some not. All people here are always ready to show you the path, but you need to put some efforts from your side too.
Q: You're speaking to a group of high school students (male and female). Why should they consider exploring career options in open source?
A: High school students need to get an insider view of how work is done in a professional environment, how organizations work. The Open source world provides you a platform where you can get that "insider view," as well as a place where you can explore career options in whatever field you love. If it's open source, then the reasons I can see are amazing community support, awesome people, real-world work experience, and above all, the ability to work full time on whatever you love to work on. Every person will be there to help you, you just need to dive in and devote your skills and time.
Q: What question(s) do you wish I'd asked? And how would you answer it?
A: How was your first experience in the open source world? It was a great experience, loved the work, Interaction with my mentor and members of Systers. Every bit of it was so nice – the support, the hard work, and best of all lots of things learned in the end. This was the first time I contributed to this open source world, and GSoC and Systers really managed to make me love my work and understand how everything works in open source. People here are very helpful and great in nature.
If you are a woman in open source, I'd love it if you'd take a moment to answer these interview questions and send your responses to me at rkite AT linuxpromagazine DOT com. (Otherwise, I'll try to track you down at an event or online!) If you'd like me to interview a particular woman in open source, drop me a line and let me know who she is and where to find her.

Lids as Good as Rose Gold, Backstage at Creatures of the Wind
"It's always about many things with Shane and Chris," NARS director of global artistry James Boehmer said backstage at Shane Gabier and Chris Peters' Creatures of the Wind show. Boy was it ever. Boehmer ran off an inspiration list that varied between World War II teddy girls, Memphis furniture, and the "plasticized nature of candy," which led him to a surprisingly understated makeup look, all things considered. "You don't see it right away," he pointed out of the rose-gold cat-eyes he traced onto models' eyes using a mix of NARS Multiples in Maldives, a creamy bronze, and Copacabana, a dark champagne, with its Single Shimmer Eyeshadow in Nepal, a frosty mocha. "The texture is really pearly," he continued of the lids, which caused him to keep the skin super-matte in contrast, using NARS Sheer Matte Foundation dusted with its Loose Powder. Brows were brushed up with its forthcoming Brow Gel, while lips were treated to a shot of moisture courtesy of its NARSskin Total Replenishing Eye Cream.
Hairstylist Odile Gilbert was going for "cool, with a touch of sophistication," which lead her to a dual-textured, middle-parted style. Using Kérastase Resistance Ciment Thermique Heat-Activated Reconstructor Milk to "flatten" hair at the root, Gilbert employed a three-pronged curling iron to create glossy ridges through the lengths, coating them with its Elixir Ultime Moringa Immortel serum to add shine. "It helps achieve the look and treat the hair at the same time," she boasted of the multitasking product.

Children will enjoy trying out five traditional African crafts by following the clear, well-illustrated instructions in this book. Adinkra cloth uses a block-printing technique which children can recreate using potato prints. In Angola, Kenya and Ghana pots are traditionally made by the 'coiling' method using long sausages of clay that build up the pot from the rim to the foot. Mask-making is an old tradition in Africa, and in this book children will find out how to make and decorate their own mask using a balloon and papier mache. Music making of all forms is very important in Africa, with a great emphasis on rhythm. Lynne Garner explains how to make an African-style drum. Kente strip weaving is traditionally done by the Ashanti people of Ghana, weaving narrow strips of cloth which are then stitched together to make beautiful, colourful garments. The book is illustrated throughout with the author's own photographs showing the making processes step by step, and the African crafts and c

Private Group Posts no longer appearing in general "All Members" activity feed.
Hmm…not sure what went wrong with my last attempt at posting this. Anyway, lost all my text and don't have time to type the WHOLE thing in again now.
I'll start with just some questions this time:
1) Does anyone know if something changed between BP v1.2.8 and BP v1.2.10 that meant that posts to private groups no longer appear in the "All Members" activity feed?
2) If the answer to 1) is true – is there anyway to get private group posts back into the All Members feed?
