A new building to house the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office is going to cost almost $12 million more than projected when the facility was pitched to the County Council in 2010.
That higher price tag displeased several council members, disturbed that the earlier projection was so far off because it skimped on furnishings and parking.

They did not blame current District Attorney Sim Gill for the dramatic difference — up from $31 million to $42.8 million — but accepted his assurances that the county still will save money over the long term by owning its own building on the southwest corner of 600 South and State Street in Salt Lake City, rather than leasing space in other buildings.
Gill said savings would amount to $15 million over the 30-year life of a bond to cover the additional expense.
"I want you to have the building you need — the [pricing] mistakes were made by people before you — but do we need everything on that list?" asked County Council Chairman David Wilde.
"I hope the final product is a building that is functional, but not lavish," added County Councilman Richard Snelgrove. "If it ends up a Taj Mahal, there will be hell to pay."
Despite their reservations about the extra $11.8 million, Wilde and Snelgrove were part of a unanimous council vote to forward the project to the county's Debt Review Committee. But they want the panel's recommendation of the lowest-cost bonding alternative to include a detailed look at the building's budget to ensure every expense is necessary.
Gill said he welcomed that analysis, noting his office and the mayor's had scoured the budget looking for savings. "We're not buying for the sake of buying," he said, but the office still will need furniture, more land for parking and other materials not included in the original budget.
The original $31 million plan included 109 parking spaces, insufficient for the office's 230 employees plus the needs of the public.
Even with additional costs, he added, the building will be worth it. Energy-efficiency measures incorporated into the design alone will save the county $118,000 a year.
Consolidating all of the district attorney's operations into one facility also will provide "intangible efficiencies" in the use of office supplies and equipment, technological support and staff interactions, added Deputy Mayor Nichole Dunn.
She accepted responsibility for the errors in the cost estimate for the building. But County Councilman Michael Jensen said she was just being valiant and that more of the blame should be affixed to Gill's predecessor, former District Attorney Lohra Miller.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio. -- Bowling Green State University head cross country and track and field coach Lou Snelling announced the hiring of two assistant coaches Wednesday. James Gildon has been named the assistant track and field coach, while McKayla Plank has been hired as a cross country and track and field assistant.
"It's exciting to have our complete staff in place," said Snelling. "It's a diverse group, but the commonality is the desire to help take Bowling Green Cross Country & Track and Field back to its historic level of success. This staff as a whole understands what our goals are and how we are going to get there."
Gildon's primary responsibilities include working with the jump, sprint and hurdle groups for Bowling Green Track and Field.
Gildon comes to Bowling Green from Fort Hays State University where he coached two national champions, nine NCAA All-Americans, 24 national qualifiers, nine conference champions and two ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.
Under Gildon's tenure, four Fort Hays University records were broken. Along with 19 of his athletes that rank in the top five of various school records, Gildon is responsible for producing the top five women long jumpers in school history, averaging 5.93 meters per jump. Three of Gildon's athletes also hold the top three women's triple jump records, averaging 12.16 meters.
Gildon has produced at least one NCAA Division II All-American for four consecutive seasons.
During the 2010 indoor season, Gildon coached Darcie Schmitz to a National Championship in the long jump and a runner-up finish in the triple jump.
In the 2007-2008 season, Gildon helped coach Bryan Haynes to a National Championship in the 200m (indoors) and also saw him qualify for the 2008 Olympic Trials in the 200m (outdoors) by running 20.69.
Prior to arriving at FHSU, Gildon coached at Creighton Prep High School in Omaha, Neb. from 2005-2007. While in charge of the horizontal and vertical jumps, he coached 20 Nebraska State Athletic Association qualifiers and 17 athletes to All-State honors.
Gildon competed for Loyola University of Chicago from 2001 to 2004. He ranks in the top 5 in the long Jump and triple Jump both indoors and outdoors. He was also a six-time Horizon League All-Conference performer while competing primarily in the jumps, but also in the short sprints and relays.
Gildon completed his master's of science in health and human performance from FHSU in 2009. He graduated from Nebraska-Omaha in 2007 with a bachelor's of science degree in exercise science.
Gildon now resides in Bowling Green with his fiancée Jennifer (Faas).
"In his first collegiate coaching experience, James built an impressive resume of success with a number of national qualifiers, All-Americans, and two national champions," said Snelling. "He is hungry to build on and broaden that success at Bowling Green and in the Mid-American Conference."
As an athlete, Plank most recently competed for the cross country and track and field programs at the University of Georgia, graduating with a degree in consumer economics in 2010.
As a Bulldog, Plank finished fifth in the 1500 with a time of 4:26.24 at the 2009 SEC Championships and was the top collegiate finisher (second overall) in the 1500 at the Georgia Invitational. She also won the 5000 after recording a time of 17:27.56 at the Georgia Relays, while also competing as a leg on the winning 4x800 relay team.
Plank competed in indoor track for Georgia in 2008, debuting for the Bulldogs at the Tom Jones Memorial Classic as the top collegiate finisher (second overall) in the 3000 (9:40.68). The finish ranked 10th all time in the Georgia record books.
Before transferring to Georgia, Plank attended Iona College, where she was a 2007 All-American and a three time MAAC Champion (2008 Cross Country and 2007 Outdoor: 800m, 1500m). Plank also holds two Iona College records, the indoor 1200 meters and the outdoor 800 meters.
Plank was a member of the 2006 USA track and field team, placing second at the Junior National Cross Country Championships, and seventh at the North American Championships. Plank placed 32nd overall at the 2006 World Cross Country Championship in Fukoka, Japan, crossing the finish line before any other American runner.
A graduate of Archbishop Mitty High School, Plank holds two school records, including the 1600 (4:58) and the 3200 (10:51). Plank guided Mitty to a third California Cross Country State Championship in 2005.
"McKayla (Plank) brings elite level collegiate experience to our program, having been an NCAA Division I All-American," said Snelling. "She understands what it takes to be successful at this level and will no doubt help this program take the next step. "
A native of Los Gatos, Calif., Plank now resides in Bowling Green, Ohio.

President and Congress extend PATRIOT Act
On the last Saturday in February, President Obama signed into law legislation extending all three provisions of the controversial PATRIOT Act that were set to expire in 2009, without any of the long overdue protections for civil liberties and transparency demanded by voices from across the political spectrum. The extension passed the House 315-97 and 70-28 in the Senate.
By abandoning even the minor protections and reporting requirements crafted by the House and Senate Judiciary Committees last fall, Congress has once again abdicated its responsibility to check and balance the Executive Branch, despite documented, repeated, and ongoing abuses. The Bill of Rights Defense Committee, which has led the grassroots opposition to the PATRIOT Act's privacy- and Constitution-violating surveillance powers since 2001, is distressed and deeply disappointed by the extension of these provisions without needed protections for privacy and civil liberties that the American public has called on Congress to provide.
BORDC Executive Director Shahid Buttar reacted to the extension, saying, "Despite repeated abuses by intelligence agencies documented by the Executive Branch itself, Congress just wrote another blank check for the FBI and other agencies to continue abusing the rights of millions of law-abiding Americans. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure transparency and accountability in government and its repeated failure holds tragic consequences for our Republic."
Chip Pitts, president of BORDC's board of directors, concurred, saying, "Grassroots education and action remain paramount if we are to have any chance of 'leading our leaders' in Congress and the Executive Branch and restoring the fundamental rights that have always formed the cornerstone of our national identity, success, and true strength. The Bill of Rights Defense Committee and activists, affinity groups, and coalition partners around the country remain committed to the defending and restoring those rights."
Now that Congress and the President have shown they will not live up to their promises to protect and defend the Constitution, it is clearer than ever that grassroots action is needed. Join BORDC in our efforts to restore the rule of law by taking action in your local community to raise rights above the federal floor.
BORDC News
David Cole participates in Alliance for Justice panel on OPR report
On February 25, the Alliance for Justice sponsored a thought-provoking panel discussion in Washington, DC, to discuss what will happen "After the OPR Report." Georgetown law professor David Cole suggested that "keeping this issue in the public eye is critical," despite today's consensus among federal institutions to allow torture with impunity. Columbia law professor and Harper's editor Scott Horton agreed that, in the wake of recent events, "citizen advocacy is extremely important."
Cole specifically commended BORDC's work organizing local support for accountability. Horton reframed the Justice Department's absolution of government lawyers complicit in torture by simply observing that "self-regulation is a fraud." He cited the recently released OPR report as evidence that "the Department of Justice will not investigate itself," and observed that the starting point for DOJ's analysis—an analysis of potential ethical, as distinct from criminal, violations—fundamentally mistakes the issue.
Horton went on to allege the corruption of public integrity, based on quid pro quo agreements between the Bush administration and each of the torture memos' authors: Jay Bybee sought appointment to his current lifetime seat on the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; Steven Bradbury wanted confirmation in his acting capacity as assistant attorney general; and John Yoo—the only conspirator whose aspirations were reportedly denied—sought appointment as Bradbury's successor.
Shahid Buttar leads off Crosspollinate Speaker Series in Jackson, MS
BORDC Executive Director Shahid Buttar was excited earlier this month to participate in several local events in Jackson, MS. Shahid was the featured speaker in the first of Jackson's Crosspollinate Speaker Series, which included lectures at the Jackson Community Design Center and a Jackson high school on March 12 and an event with spoken word, live music, and DJs on March 13. The Jackson Free Press named Buttar its "Person of the Day," publishing a profile recounting his background as an activist, lawyer, and politically engaged artist.
BORDC seeks summer interns
BORDC is pleased to offer three summer internship positions for 2010. We are seeking two interns—one part-time and one full-time—to work out of our national office in Northampton, MA, and another part-time or full-time intern to work with Executive Director Shahid Buttar in Washington, DC. We welcome students and non-students for each of these positions. Interested applicants should see the full postings for more details on the positions and how to apply.
People's Campaign for the Constitution News
Enact a local ordinance raising rights above the federal floor
Last October, BORDC released two pieces of model legislation designed to encourage national policy changes through action at the local level. One ordinance imposes limits on local law enforcement authorities and creates enforceable protections against domestic surveillance, immigration enforcement, and racial and religious profiling. Another ordinance offers an opportunity for cities and towns to seek executive accountability for torture in the wake of the federal government's continuing violations of international treaty commitments requiring investigation as a matter of law.
The ordinances, which activist, author, and blogger David Swanson described as "powerful tools for restoring the rule of law and defending our civil rights," provide grassroots constitutionalists with new and exciting opportunities to organize locally. BORDC's ordinance toolkit offers resources and guidance to help you start your local ordinance effort.
Activists across the country have started work on building local coalitions to support these measures, and campaigns are underway in several cities across the country.
Email Emma for information on a local action or assistance for starting an effort in your city or town.

Law and Policy
OPR report clears torture lawyers
Last month, we warned you about reports that the Justice Department would soon exonerate the lawyers responsible for the torture memos. Sadly, that has come to pass.
Dick Cheney recently admitted to violating international law by ordering government lawyers to contrive legal opinions authorizing conduct long considered by the international community to constitute torture. Others have alleged that their authorizations were part of a pre-meditated, coordinated campaign to construct a public case justifying the invasion of Iraq.
Following the Justice Department's release last month of its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report finding Bush administration lawyers who authorized criminal conduct at the highest levels of government culpable only of "poor judgment," the Bill of Rights Defense Committee is renewing calls for prosecutions of those former federal officials to prevent torture from recurring in the future. Given the Justice Department's failure to pursue accountability or deterrence, BORDC continues to promote long overdue independent action by Congress, as well as by state courts, bar associations, state legislatures, and city councils.
BORDC has crafted model legislation enabling municipal legislative bodies, such as town meetings and city councils, to pursue accountability by calling for transparency through an independent commission. If the federal government continues to abdicate its legal duty to investigate, the responsibility to enforce international human rights falls to the sovereign states and We the People.
According to Shahid Buttar, executive director of BORDC, "These lawyers invited future torture around the world of victims including US troops, drove recruits into the arms of our nation's enemies, and dishonored the sacrifices of veterans of our nation's world-historic victory in WWII. States are well within their rights to pursue prosecution—in fact, they routinely prosecute far less objectionable conduct every day." Chip Pitts, president of BORDC's board of directors, concurred, saying, "These analyses aimed to justify criminal acts by government officials. Unless those officials are held accountable, we risk undermining fundamental ethical standards and international legal protections against torture."
Civil liberties groups offer amicus arguments in warrantless cell phone tracking case
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, and the Center for Democracy and Technology have filed an amicus brief offering the Third Circuit Court of Appeals arguments as to why the federal government should not be allowed to use cell phones to track individuals' movements without probable cause. Oral arguments were heard in February.
The fact that this type of search is technically possible should come as no surprise to anyone who has a map application on his or her phone. Most modern cell phones come equipped with a GPS chip, which law enforcement officials can use to discover a person's whereabouts. Even older cell phones can be tracked by examining which cell towers a caller is using at any given time. Phone companies also store this information, recording a history of where the cell phone has been and when.
While this is a useful tool in apprehending criminals, the government has shown a disturbing lack of concern for Fourth Amendment rights to personal privacy. EFF's website offers an overview of the Court of Appeals cases across the country that have considered this issue since 2005. In October of that year, a letter from the US Attorney's office of the Eastern District of New York stated bluntly: "One who does not wish to disclose his movements to the government need not use a cellular telephone."
As of 2009, 89 percent of the total US population used cell phones. That gives the government the ability to see where nine out of every ten people in the US are at any given moment. There is great cause for concern with this ability, and we should all pay close attention when the judges issue their decision a few months from now.
Supreme Court remands Uighur case
On March 1, citing "a change in the underlying facts," the Supreme Court declined to rule in Jamal Kiyemba, et al. v. Barack H. Obama, President of the United States, et al., a case regarding Uighurs held at Guantánamo Bay detention center, on whether federal habeas jurisdiction empowers the court to order the release of Guantánamo detainees into the United States once they have been determined to be no threat to US security.
Since the original District Court ruling in favor of the Uighurs, Chinese Muslims who fear retaliation if returned to their homeland, Switzerland has agreed to take two of the detainees and the remaining five have refused offers of repatriation from two other countries. The Supreme Court apparently viewed the men's refusal to accept those invitations as an indication that they are now remaining at Guantánamo by choice, and are therefore no longer detained against their will. Consequently, the case now goes back to the Court of Appeals to determine "what further proceedings in that court or in the District Court are necessary and appropriate for the full and prompt disposition of the case in light of the new developments."
However, as Adam Liptak noted in The New York Times, "The central issue…is likely to reach the court again, as there remain other cases in which prisoners cleared for release with nowhere to go remain at Guantánamo."
Attorney general battling to reject arbitrary detention
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) disclosed on Face the Nation on March 7 that he would "help [the Obama administration] in getting the Republican votes that are needed to close Guantánamo," if the administration can get Attorney General Eric Holder to reverse his commitment to try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators in federal criminal court.
President Obama has increasingly come under fire from civil rights groups and grassroots constitutionalists appalled at his deepening embrace of the military commissions system. As a candidate, Obama pledged to reject military commissions because of their failure to provide legitimate verdicts and ad hoc procedures allegedly aimed to ensure convictions, rather than accuracy. Most pointed was the ACLU's New York Times ad, also on March 7.
Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to proceed in civilian court for Mohammed and the others accused, though promising, was muddied by its limitation to those specific 9/11 defendants, while others were relegated to the considerably weaker procedural protections of the military commissions. Now Obama is rumored to be pressuring the attorney general to reverse this small step to restore due process standards, allegedly in order to fulfill his campaign promise to close Guantánamo.
While closing Guantánamo once meant ending a shameful period in US history, Obama's promise has transformed into a battle over whether detainees may be held indefinitely without trial on US instead of Cuban soil.
Truthout's Jason Leopold quotes Army Maj. Gen. William L. Nash as saying that if Obama reversed Holder, it "would give aid to our enemies, it would lessen our reputation with our allies....This is not the time to be scared. This is not the time to accommodate those who have led this country under an aura of fear for eight years." Rather, "[I]t's time to do the right thing and persevere through."
Grassroots News
Coalition against torture forms in Illinois
While the federal government continues to evade responsibility for engaging in torture, activists in Illinois are fighting back on the local level. They've formed the Illinois Coalition Against Torture and are planning to promote a local ordinance calling for torture accountability. They're also planning a teach-in this June and a fundraiser later this month. For more information or to connect with their efforts, contact Emma.
Student civil liberties group begins at Amherst College
Student organizers in Amherst, MA, have formed a Bill of Rights Society dedicated to raising awareness about constitutional violations since the "war on terror" began. The group held its first event last month—a screening and discussion of the documentary Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties. For more information about the Amherst College Bill of Rights Society, contact Andrea Flores. For information about how to start a similar group at your school, contact Emma.
Political Research Associates: "Suspicious activities reporting" undermines national security
On March 10, Political Research Associates (PRA), along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, led a discussion on the institutionalization of suspicious activities reporting and its ramifications for communities affected by US counter-terrorism policies. The Los Angeles, CA, event unveiled PRA's new study, "How the Nationwide Suspicious Activities Reporting Initiative Institutionalizes Domestic Surveillance, Invites Racial Profiling, and Undermines Security." The event was attended by attorneys, academics, and activists.
Operation Defuse hosts Maryland town hall forum on domestic spying and fusion centers
On March 11, Operation Defuse held a town hall forum in Baltimore, MD, to discuss domestic spying and fusion centers, which "fuse" national and local intelligence efforts and make spying on innocent Americans easier than ever. On the program were speakers from the Liberty Restoration Project, Texans for Accountable Government, and the Maryland ACLU, along with the coordinator of the Maryland Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council. A member of the Baltimore non-violence center, who was spied on and branded a terrorist as a direct result of the Maryland fusion center's activities, spoke as well.
BORDC is organizing a FOIA campaign to seek transparency into the operation of fusion centers, which raise profound civil liberties concerns. To get involved, contact Emma.
BORDC hosts events for the Night of 1,000 Conversations
On Sunday, February 28, BORDC sponsored two events for the Night of 1,000 Conversations, the first effort in the Rights Working Group's Face the Truth Campaign. In Dallas, TX, BORDC held a conversation in coalition with allies including the Dallas Peace Center, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Muslim Legal Fund of America, and supporters of Ron Paul's Libertarian Revolution. The event prompted an informative and stimulating dialogue and was attended by a state gubernatorial candidate. The group plans to meet again and host a speaker next month, following additional outreach to community leaders and individuals interested in preserving and expanding rights.
Local activists and representatives from BORDC, the Prison Policy Initiative, and Justice for Jason gathered in Northampton, MA, to talk about local incidents of racial and religious profiling. After a conversation that included discussion of the PATRIOT Act and profiling of activists as well as 287(g) immigration enforcement agreements, the profiling of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians post-9/11, and police profiling of African Americans, those in attendance discussed opportunities to organize locally to stop such abuses.
New Resources and Opportunities
March and April screenings of The Most Dangerous Man in America
Co-winner of this year's Freedom of Expression Award from the National Board of Review (and one of their Five Best Documentaries of the Year), Winner of the Special Jury Award at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, and Academy Award® Nominee for Best Documentary, The Most Dangerous Man in America tells the story of Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, who in 1971 leaked 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, exposing decades of government lies and making headlines around the world.
The film tells the riveting story of a landmark struggle involving America's newspapers, its President, and the Supreme Court. The documentary features Daniel Ellsberg, Patricia Ellsberg, Tony Russo, Howard Zinn, Hedrick Smith, John Dean, and, from the secret White House tapes, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who called Ellsberg "the most dangerous man in America."
The film provides an excellent organizing opportunity for grassroots constitutionalists. We encourage you to organize a group to attend a screening, hold a discussion of the issues the film raises, and brainstorm about actions you can take locally to support the Constitution and the rule of law. BORDC recently hosted a screening of the film featuring a live Q&A with Mr. Ellsberg and the filmmakers in Washington, DC, and will host similar events in cities (to be announced) around the country this spring.

March 16 Torture accountability panel discussion in Washington
On Tuesday, March 16, the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC, will host a panel discussion on torture and accountability in the United States.
Torture is a profound abuse of the rule of law. A lack of full accountability for those responsible for US torture policies has far-reaching and unexpected implications. A just rule of law cannot be established without full accountability for torture of U.S. detainees. If we allow those who committed and authorized torture, whether interrogators or senior executive officials, to go uninvestigated and unpunished, we risk destabilizing the international legal regime and delegitimizing our domestic criminal justice system. True accountability for torture is not only a moral imperative, but also, because of international obligations such as the Convention Against Torture, a legal obligation.
The event will feature an interactive panel including:
- Shahid Buttar, executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee
- Matthew Alexander, author, New York Times contributor, and Air Force veteran whose military interrogation team located Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq

March 25 discussion on fusion centers in Boston area
BORDC is co-sponsoring a discussion on fusion centers in Roxbury, MA, on Thursday, March 25.
Fusion centers are a new mechanism to bring together surveillance of "suspicious activities" from various law enforcement and intelligence agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, in addition to military intelligence. Fusion centers, which remain thoroughly opaque and unregulated, raise numerous concerns: How is this data collected? Who can see this data? Can you find out if information has been collected about you, and can you correct that information if it is false or misleading? What is considered suspicious? Many are concerned that fusion centers may compromise the privacy and civil liberties of marginalized groups such as Muslims, Arabs, South Asians, and Latinos, who often face higher scrutiny from law enforcement and intelligence authorities.
The discussion will be held at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center on March 25 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM and will feature the following speakers:
- Mike German (Policy Counsel, Washington Legislative Office, American Civil Liberties Union ACLU)
- Carol Rose (Executive Director, ACLU of Massachusetts)
- David Gersten (Acting Deputy Officer for Programs and Compliance, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, US Department of Homeland Security)
- Juliette Kayyem (Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs, US Department of Homeland Security)
In addition to BORDC, the event is sponsored by the Muslim American Society of Boston, the Department of Homeland Security, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Arab-American Institute.

Featured Book: The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time (In Two Lines or Less) by John M. Shanahan
You don't have to be a genius to sound like one. Here's a collection of the most profound and provocative wit and wisdom in the English language in two lines or less. Edited by entrepreneur John M. Shanahan, who created the wildly successful Hooked on Phonics program, this wonderful book presents the best that has been thought and said on every imaginable topic.
"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."

Grease Trap FAQs
What is the difference between a Grease Trap and a Grease Interceptor?
What is a Grease Interceptor?
How does a Grease Interceptor work?
Is my Grease Interceptor properly sized?
What is a flow restrictor, and do I need one?
Why do I need my Grease Interceptor pumped?
If waste is allowed to discharge (particularly fats, oils and greases) you will/could:
How often should I clean my Grease Interceptor?A Grease Interceptor only needs to be cleaned (emptied) when enough waste has accumulated to degrade its ability to affectively continue to separate waste. At this point the Grease Interceptor is bypassing waste to the sewer. The amount of waste a particular interceptor can retain is based on its waste retention capacity and its efficiency (see Interceptor Sizing).
Our technical service and sales staff determine optimal service intervals based on each individual site's waste accumulation rates and the size/efficiency of the Grease Interceptor (for more information see Frequency of Service). In addition, some municipal jurisdictions have mandated minimum service requirements.
Ask one of our representatives for the by-law requirements in your area.

Why does my Grease Interceptor smell - and what can I do to control the odours?
What do you do with the waste that is removed from my Grease Interceptor?
You just pumped my Grease Interceptor yesterday - why is it full already?
Does regular scheduled interceptor servicing ensure that I will never have a drain blockage?
Why is my Grease Interceptor backing up, or flooding?
A proper cleaning schedule combined with our Clean-Flo preventative drain maintenance program should ensure that you never experience a Grease Interceptor backup or flood.
Why should I have my Grease Interceptor pumped on a regular scheduled basis?
Why shouldn't I use enzymes or other products in my Grease Interceptor?
How can you service my Grease Interceptor, so inexpensively?

Under rating threshold (hideshow) 7 mother ships, 16 gun towers and 8 gates, and i still thought i hadda chance at surviving infinite mode.. well at least my upgrading fix is sated.

Oct. 27, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I would recommend an upgrade that allows your secondary missile to be mixed. Like freeze + splitter.
Oct. 10, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) add challenge if possible like "finish the first level without being hit when you play the boss" or "do the last level with the missile only" it will add a lifetime at your game because after 10 min i've finish it and playing with the boss is not really cool because the boss is too "big and slow"
Aug. 30, 2013
Jul. 21, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I always end up killing myself with the kinetic missiles.
Jun. 12, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I love how all those sticky bombs match the mothership's color scheme!
May. 31, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Have you considered putting Nyos on Steam, or perhaps the iOS App Store? I would gladly fork over $5 for a game this excellent, especially if it meant I could play it anywhere, anytime, instead of only on Kongregate. This game is actually very, very enjoyable! The target painting mechanic is fresh and awesome. I loved the upgrades, and the graphics and soundtrack seemed like they fit the theme of the game very well - the whole game had a certain binding aesthetic and there wasn't a single aspect that seemed out of place. Could have maybe used some more levels, but Infinity Mode fills that gap adequately. Would love to see a sequel or perhaps a port to Steam or iOS. 5/5, excellent game you've made here. :)
Mar. 3, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) perhaps, but I find by then I have about 70000 gold and I have already bought everything, so that's why.
Mar. 3, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) maybe something for when you upgrade everything? one thing many games do that I hate is when you get every upgrade, it just stops there. Something I would like is when you fully upgrade everything for the first time, some new upgrades become available?maybe you could unlock upgrades per level, so when you have everything and get to the final boss and just can't beat it, you would have some more REALLY EXPENSIVE (because it's so late in the game) upgrades that are really useful and help you along. That way, even people without a mouse could kill the final boss or finish missions. or maybe after you die enough times, something happens that makes the stage easier? I don't know, something along those lines.
Dec. 22, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Storyline: Here are some bad guys. Shoot them down because explosions are pretty. Graphics: Beautifully stylistic with a retro-arcade feel. Music: Catchy and fun to listen to. Gameplay: addictive, and somehow managed to make money grinding is fun. Could use a fullscreen mode, but going by it's current strengths, 5/5.
Dec. 6, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Really fun game. I enjoyed losing control of my ship when kinetic missiles explode. The targeting system is original, and fun to use. Still wondering what killed the final boss : area of effects, or some missiles hitting him.
Oct. 25, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) @Spyro Drag, if you use missiles that explode, then you get kickback. Of course. The Shakes on your screen, are cause by missiles. If you don't want shaking, then you must not like missiles... :)
Oct. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) and put a limit to how many enemies there are, if to many collect the game gets that glitchy feel too it.
Oct. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) ok, there needs to be an option to disable screen shake, every time i get to many shakes at a time, my ship some how ends up ont the other side of the screen before i know it. also, i think you should be able to upgrade the missle damage, and kickback, as well as the speed, and turning arc. because some of the missles never make it to there target instead they hit other targets be accident. also, make the thing bigger, or zoom out, because its hard to get your intended target with such a small screen.
Oct. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) never played a game like this before. i really liked the run and gun sense of it. the target locking was something i had never seen before and was fun to play with. 5/5
Oct. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) *has evry missel upgrade possible* kanetic hellfire >=)
Oct. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Secret activated. Then does lvl 12 again. Best epic fight EVER.
Oct. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It is kind of awesome to kill the final boss with the unstoppable juggernaut that you get for beating him. damage dealt: 2194 damage received: 3918 total time: less than twenty seconds
Oct. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) When I went up against the gun platforms level, I felt as if I wasn't doing enough damage, perhaps it was the enemies that got in the way of my missiles?
Oct. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) make a second one. add more of a story line thow..... but pefect any who =)
Oct. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) its a cool game, someimes feel likes your barely doing any damage xD sequel mabey?
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Very very fun and interesting. I actually found the final boss surprisingly easy... just a bit long. The only major issue I can see is the comparative lack of information, especially in regards to powerups. I would have upgraded 'missile' earlier if I had known it doubled my firepower. Super job, keep up the good work, and a sequel would be welcome... perhaps with a tech tree that allowed combination of missile types... heh heh heh.
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) On that note, ever watch Macross? And the parts where they get to equip more missile packs?
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hmm, it wouldn't make sense to fire off a single missile while the other 3 are in recharge. Think you could implement a key-modifier that allows for multiple missiles to lock-on to one ship?
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Two things. 1. I don't understand why accidentally running into enemies lowers my health as quickly as it does, especially on the final boss. And 2. The final boss: is there some sort of strategy to that thing or do I just fly in circles hoping that my mass of missiles kills him before his mass of missiles kills me? 5/5 because most of the game is fantastic and because the game is just so much fun to play.
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I really enjoy this, just feel like it's a little too zoomed in :/
Oct. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Is it just me, or this game is 3.78 instead of 4.78 JUST BECAUSE STRUCTURES HAVE MILLIONS OF HIT POINTS? I couldn't destroy one gun platform on either of my coffee breaks today --- disappointing. We may need a slow but cumulative way to multiply damage so this doesn't last forever...
Oct. 13, 2012
Sep. 22, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Create a free roam with tons of more bosses..
Sep. 20, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) they shoulod make the sticky bombs explode when they are hit by kinect that would be awsome
Sep. 19, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game was enjoyable and addictive though, despite its name, was basically your ordinary shooter. 3.5/5. I would, however; like to compliment the creator of the game as he/she has taken on the opinions of many more people than most game creators.
Developer response from Marmph
You're right, Nyos is a very ordinary shooter. The game was a very different when I started making it, over time became more and more ordinary. This is actually a good thing, since early versions of the game were pretty rough. I kept the name because I think it sounds cool :)edit | delete
Sep. 18, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Fantastic gameplay mechanic. Calling the shots rather than having to make them is awesome, so 5/5 because of that, and how it reminds me so much of RayHound.
Sep. 18, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) i would like to see a game with the orgin. it would be nice to know what and why killer space ships want you dead. (idea) maybe they are from a different dimention!
Sep. 18, 2012
Sep. 4, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The coin drop rate is pretty perfect, you are maxed out without grinding by the last level. The balance, though, does seem a bit off. You don't really need to upgrade health because you start with so much of it, enemies to so little damage and regen is incredibly powerful. Once you have kinetic missiles, everything else is rather pointless - the splitter missiles are especially weak in comparison. On the other hand, the game is really fun with the easy difficulty - an addictive diversion that seems perfect for an achievement game (such as using only weapon X, #of kills, time trials, etc.) Or... with more enemy types and wave patterns (and maybe weapons/options?) you'll have an awesome all-round arcade game where the kill-stuff difficulty is low, but timing and strategy matter. This game just has so much potential. Keep up the good work!
Sep. 4, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I could really use a zoom feature... I love the pinball effect and I'd like to be able to appreciate it from farther away.
Aug. 29, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Awesome game! but at the start, messages keep popping up in the middle of the screen while in trying to play =S
Aug. 19, 2012
Aug. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Deserves to be the next big game. + If you want sequal.
Jun. 19, 2012
Jun. 3, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Lock on, fire, and midway through firing hit space. You can fire both your guns at the same time.
May. 29, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) to much swarming but besides that really fun game good amount of levels 4/5
May. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Nice and innovative game (due to the "lock on target" featuring as the primary attack). I would change only one thing: When a mission is completed, the action is still going on the background, it would be better if the game "paused" and background fades off, or slow motion + fading. It makes me wonder things like "did the coins I got after the "Mission Complete" screen count? What happens if I die on the background? probably nothing, but it's kind of strange. Congratulations for the good game and specially for the improvements added, we don't see lots of dedicated developers after the game is released.
May. 25, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The game is excellent and extremely interesting, but it would be nice if there was a square or something of the sort on the mini-map to display the viewing area so you know when enemies are going to reach you
May. 25, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) pretty awesome game and i think playing as the boss is pretty cool, 5 stars, click plus if you agree
May. 24, 2012
May. 23, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) pretty nice game, i enjoy playing as boss :D but i kinda miss kinetic missiles, they are op but tricky. Just 2 things to point out: 1st) sometimes the physics can go crazy when enemies go over certain number making you a living pinball so you may consider a population limit or slowing spawns based on enemies on screen. 2nd) loving upgrades as much as i do, i fell like something is missing. Have you considered ugrades for each weapon instead of general upgrades? or adding more weapones so you can customize your ship a little more? i will give 5/5 to encourage the improval of this already nice game as i see a lot of potential.
Developer response from Marmph
Thanks for the suggestions! 1) The living pinball effect is probably from the usage of kinetic missiles. 2) I do think weapon specific upgrades are a good idea, but I am too busy with other projects right now to update Nyos. Perhaps when those projects are finished, I will work on it. Updating Nyos is sadly a not a very high priority for me, since the game was released several months ago and doesn't receive as much attention now.edit | delete

Enjoy a free folk music concert by Del Rey. Del Rey started playing guitar when she was four. At the age of 14, she was introduced to the world of traditional acoustic music and recordings, especially those of the great blues guitarist Memphis Minnie. Her guitar playing is influenced by country blues, stride piano, classic jazz and hillbilly boogie-all filtered through the sensibility of an autodidact trailor-park aesthete.
We will be discussing "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" by John Green & David Levithan. Copies will be available at Main & Dole.

"The Morning After" Cap from Drybar
It's definitely no Plan B, but the DryBar's new "The Morning After" shower cap is pretty much like emergency contraception for your hair. If used correctly after a night of unprotected tresses, it can drastically reduce your risk of having a bad hair day by up to 100 percent.
After rigorous testing, the stunning results speak for themselves. Not only is it roomier than other shower caps (to accommodate your Cosmo or Mai-Tai, obviously), but it's also lined with terrycloth to prevent any humidity from seeping in, getting trapped, and giving birth to big frizz.
Buy it over the counter, in stores, or online at TheDryBar.com. At only $15 a pop, that's a pretty easy pill to swallow.

I already mentioned it but I love leaving drawings on peoples profiles on DeviantArt after they have favorited a work or started watching me. I don't know.

Washington • Congress is showing tangible support for longtime ally Israel as Gaza militants fire rockets, backing a measure that would double the amount of money for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system.
The Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee approved a defense spending bill on Tuesday that would provide $621.6 million for Israeli missile defense, including $351 million for the Iron Dome system that intercepts short-range rockets and mortars. In the latest hostilities between Israel and Hamas, Iron Dome has been successful in shooting down rockets and preventing Israeli deaths.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"It works," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the subcommittee.
Since 1988 and the early days of U.S.-Israeli cooperation on missile defense, presidents have proposed a specific amount for the program knowing full well that members of Congress will increase the funds, especially after they hear from Israel.
Overall, the defense bill would provide $549.3 billion for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The bill spares several of the weapons programs that the Pentagon had proposed scaling back or eliminating, including the A-10 Warthog, the close air support aircraft and the USS George Washington aircraft carrier.
Durbin emphasized research and development within the military. The bill would provide $25 million to fund a competition to develop a new domestic rocket engine. Durbin said reliance on a Russian-built version made no sense.

Winemaker Carol Shelton and I discuss the flavors and aromas of wine. Actually we discuss how to discuss the flavors and aromas of wine. Carol, back in the day at UC Davis, while studying Enology, volunteered some of her time in the lab. Much of it was spent experimenting with flavors and aromas and how our brain works with them. It was super interesting and helped me out a bunch in how to better describe a wine to someone. Carol also gave us some tips on how to improve our palette with a simple do it at home game. However we don't recommend tasting cat piss, leave that to the Pros!

Sunday 07.07.13 - 16:00 - Apollo
John Cohen belongs in the darkest corner of electronic music, the place where the pop-interpreters of said genre (none mentioned, none forgotten) are in for a good flogging. Dead Fader's music contains a dystopian, industrial tonality, which makes it sound like something that just might keep gnawing at your soul after you have returned from the festival longing for a good night's sleep. Using abstract, distorted club music, noise, infernal volume levels, amputated sound bites and unveiled ugliness Dead Fader creates an energetic, electronic nightmare. Have a recess from the harmonies and choruses of the world.

Boy Harassed for Starting 'No Cussing Club'
Pasadena police are investigating harassment complaints of a teenage boy who started a "No Cussing Club" at his high school.
McKay Hatch, 15, says that his battle against four-letter words has subjected him to porno magazine subscriptions, fake pizza orders and has exposed him to relentless swearing.
McCay says that he isn't trying to infringe on people's freedoms, he's just trying to improve their speech.

The young boy needs to know the power of the devil is defeated under the Blood of Jesus of Nazareth from the It is written Word of Scripture that God esteems more than His Name! In Jesus Name I bind those enemies and loose the Blood of the Crucified Risen Redeemer Jesus The Christ of Nazareth
LOL his excuse for being a fatty and ordering porn XD

Second, you try to tell me what I can and can't say, its common sense that someone is going to take offense.
td:rl, stop being getting butt hurt
didi, i must let you know.
god does not exist. you only have one life. go out and make th most of it, and sleep in on sundays. religion is a lie.
if you had read the bible, you would realise what a sick and twisted religion christianity is. full of incest, beastiality, murder, rape and prostitution, and 'god' smiles on this. read the bible churchy.
I would like to thank the moms here on this site. They've been very supportive of my efforts to combat free speech around the world and soon we will get into contact with Tipper Gore and attempt to bring down rap music. I would also like to thank my boy/man friend Mick for putting it o so gently in my butt.
We're working closely with dear McCay Hatch to bring down these cyberbullies.
nice stache, life sucks, move on and learn from it
You will not be able to stop www.ebaumsworld.com from attacking this boy!
Yes Hatch, I did get /b/ to help raep you, like you asked
