My guide books in Naples
Miscellaneous: Here are my guide books that provided me details about a geographic location, tourist attractions, or most interesting itineraries in Rome.
Casa Editrice Bonechi – Italy. "The Golden Book".Naples. 1996, 128 pages.
Around the World. Italy. Second edition. Publisher "Around the World", 2005, 520 pages, 150cities, 370 churches and cathedrals, 120 museums, 29maps, 200 illustrations.
Italy. Le Petit Fute. Michel Strogoff & Ass., City-Guides, Country-Guides, Paris-Luxemburg-Moscow. 1999, 206 pages
An autumn visit
Luggage and bags: Luggage with wheels may not be such a great idea here because of all the cobbles – Chris pulled ours valiantly all round the Piazza Garibaldi on our first evening but he had to lift it a lot :(
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You'll want to dress in layers at this time of year. Temperatures ranged from a warm 22 degrees centigrade in the middle of the day, which found us sipping chilled white wine in Sorrento in just shirt-sleeves, to a slightly nippy 8 degrees at night, when I was glad of my thin wool jumper and mid-weight jacket. Take comfortable flat shoes to help you cope with all those cobbles, and an umbrella or waterproof coat – you may not be as lucky with the weather as we were.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You can buy almost anything you need here, and prices are lower than the UK, but obviously you'll need to bring prescription medicines.
Photo Equipment: Again, you can buy things quite easily here and prices are reasonable – I needed batteries for my camera and got some in Sorrento for noticeably less than I would normally pay.
Miscellaneous: With only a few days in which to explore, we found enough information in the Berlitz Pocket Guide to Naples to keep us occupied, and it has the advantage of being, exactly as the name suggests, small enough to slip into a pocket!
Cold in Napoli?
Luggage and bags: Take luggage with wheels, it's much easier to pull it than carry it around as the traffic is what it is in Naples... :)
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It's not always that warm in Naples! I visited the city in early November and when I left from Rome it was almost +20 degrees but when I arrived to Naples (the same day) it was only +8 degrees! You can imagine I was freezing in my summery clothes :)
Even though it was sunny in Naples, the cold wind made the weather feel freezing without gloves, scarf and a warm jacket...
So, take some warm clothes with you also in autumn!
Photo Equipment: Don't forget your camera, there are many things to photograph in Naples!
Weather Varies so check it before you pack.
Luggage and bags: waterproof and with wheels.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Summer-shorts, skirts, and tanktops. Bring some sleeved shirts also. Catherdrals always require you to have knees and shoulders covered.
Winter bring warmer clothing. jeans, warm shirts and a jacket. noone here really wears sweaters.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring your own toiltries as the ones supplied in most hotels are for one use and won't be replaced.
Photo Equipment: Camera, and video as there is a lot to see and sometimes you will want to video tape sites you see...expecially in places that don't allow cameras with flash.
Simple Advice
Luggage and bags: Pack light, especially during the summer when it's hot or you are planning on taking the bus/train to get to your location. Everything tends to be crowded in the summer and you'll just be uncomfortable with alot of things. Others are obvious but ladies shouldn't carry handbags that don't go over the shoulder. Someone will snatch it out of your hand if you're careless.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wear shorts in the summer and sun glasses. Because Naples weather fronts come from Africa, it tends to get incredibly sweltering in the summer. Also keep a bottle of water with you to keep from gettng dehydrated.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: It's hard some times to get help in a pharmacy as sometimes the shop keepers will not have the slightest idea what you are talking about. Keep a little travel bag with you with the needed supplies such as band aids, toilet paper, and asprin.
Photo Equipment: During the day it is relatively safe to take photos just about any where. Just be careful and be observant of those around you. For the younger crowd, at night time a small digital camera is a good tool to have when you're out on the town. You'll be surprised at how many people will want to just be in your picture.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Like any beach, bring a big towel, sunscreen & sunglasses. You can sun bathe topless without any problem. Just keep your lower portion in clothing.
Bring as little as possible!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The second time i went to naples this year, i packed only the barest essentials and brought 3 changes of clothing for a two week visit! it was liberating not to have to lug a heavy case around, knowing it'll have space for all sorts of goodies to bring home when my trip was (sob!) over. i had so much space that in fact, i was able to take home 3 decent bottles of wine, several bottles of tapenade and conserves, biscuits, a pair of shoes and 6 new clothing items, with no squashing required, all in one medium-sized suitcase. it helped that in summer, people wear very little even in public...
Luggage and bags: Dont bother bringing a handbag. You'll probably end up buying a few of those in Naples. They're beautifully made, gorgeous and can be rather cheap.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I did a stupid thing-I brought my old running shoes, and open-toe heels (3-inch) to Naples in March. No sensible Napolitan female would have been caught dead in either - Firstly, Italians wear really, really nice shoes. Good shoes, well-cut-, well-made, good-looking. Even the schoolkids didnt have scruffy running shoes on. Secondly, March temperatures can dip to 5 degrees in the evening. With strong winds (common in March), it feels a lot colder.
By the third day, my toes were ready to drop off. Luckily I purchsed a pair of Italian shoes later, cheaply.
Just a note: It was sheer folly (due to jet lag, i'm sure) but I climbed Mount Vesuvius in those heels. It was not too bad going up (those 3-inch spikes really gave me a grip!!!), but going down was excruciating. In all, I took about 4 and a half hours going up to the peak and down again.
It would have been more prudent to pack some well-made, thick-soled leather loafers and ankle boots. For March, at least.
Photo Equipment: Photographic film is more expensive than in Asia, so Asian visitors, pack those reels!
Miscellaneous: Sunscreen. Sunglasses, real and counterfeit (brand), are sold everywhere in Naples.
- Budget Travel
Please don't forget your street map in Naples.
Luggage and bags: I would travel light here because I allowed myself to be turned around so many times (hence don't forget the map), I ended up travelling in the wrong direction many times getting totally lost and exhausted.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Very comfortable clothing........especially comfortable shoes, because the shopping is absolutely fantastic. So.........you want to have enough energy to find your way back to the station or your accommodation.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Just the usual and the mandatory bottle of water to ward off dehydration.
Photo Equipment: The best that you have. I don't have a tripod but it could have come in handy..........my best camera is a Canon EOS 300 which I didn't have on this occasion, so these photo's were taken with my $50 camera. Plenty of photo opportunities especially for people and circumstances. I really wish that I had taken more people photo's here.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I always wear a hat with a wide brim and slap on 30 plus............I have very fair skin that is sun damaged now.
Miscellaneous: Patience, Patience and more patience.
- Family Travel
- Historical Travel
- Museum Visits
Packing List
Luggage and bags: A good day pack will help. Make sure you can lock it, and always be attentive on public transportation, and when walking on crowded streets. Always secure your belongings, and never let your attention wander in crowds. Safety pins are another added security measure you can use for zippers
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: comfortable shoes, and an umbrella are advisable.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring sufficient medications, as it may be tough to find what you need if you don't speak Italian. Also, some of the hand sanitizer may help, as you may not find soap in restrooms
Photo Equipment: Digital is great, but any will do. A wide angle lens would be wonderful here, as the vistas are worth capturing.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: There are beaches nearby, so if you come in the summer don't forget your suit
Miscellaneous: I left Napoli with a beautiful Italian souvenir. She is the love of my life and definitely has the Italian ability to talk loudly and with her hands.
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Agropoli is a small town and the men are real charmers. Some might say 'players', so ladies watch out! It may be no big thing to wear cut off jeans and tiny crop tops in Florida but here you're asking for perhaps a bit too much attention. If you can handle it then go ahead!
Use common sense, though, especially if you want to mingle with the locals, practice your Italian and make friends. Fashionable clothing, or just plain dress casual attire that is neat and clean, will go alot further than dirty jeans and baggy t-shirts.
I speak from experience, especially as I was visiting family! Bring comfortable shoes and don't forget your sandals!
Packing List
Luggage and bags:
Well I took an absurdly small amount of stuff, having been told to come 'as I am'..however, they shops have some lovely things, of course beautiful shoes, clothes, bags, sunglasses...
but also some lovely jewellry... I was bought this lovely ring, which I ansolutely treasure
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Take the usual swim wear, a swim cap, sunglasses (although this is THE place (Italy that is) to be presented with the most fantastic range of good shades). Also I would advise you you take some nice jeans and good shoes (GOOD SHOES, this is Italy, shoes matter ;-) Trainers and a classy shirt/tops ot three...the Italians look darned stylish in the simplest of attire, try to blend, look chic and understated, eh :-)
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Southern Italy can get very hot in summer. Do take a light jacket for any cool evenings.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Take a supply of useful medicaments with you(insect repellant, sun lotion, antiseptic cream)and stick to bottled water.
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You absolutely need a camera and comfortable walking shoes for Pompeii. You will be walking over some rough terrain. We were there in September and there was no need for a jacket. Dress light and wear a hat because you will be in the sun.
Photo Equipment: I think everyplace I took a picture in Pompeii had enough light, you can get by with a regular 35mm w/ flash camera. Although you might want a zoom lens to get a good picture of the valcano.
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I was there on a day in July. It was incredible hot. Mornings at 9am it was already about 32°C (90°F). So wear a T-Shirt and short pants!

Three elephants kill two women in West Bengal, India
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:58 UTC
The incident occurred in a forest under Belboni beat office near Matla village at around 5.30 AM. The three women had gone to the forest to collect mushrooms when three elephants attacked them, Belboni beat office ranger Amit Patra said. While 45-year-old Ashoka Shit died on the spot, 55-year-old Rabibala Das died soon after her admidission to Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital at Bankura, he said.
Beached whale found near Port Lincoln, South Australia
Fri, 09 Oct 2015 18:26 UTC
The Environment Department said the dead whale, found near Lone Pine Beach, could be a minke.
A minke whale beached itself in the area last month but was rescued by locals.
That whale had been rescued three times from the Port Lincoln foreshore after swimming into shallow water during low tide.
Peter Wilkins from the department said they had not ruled out that the dead whale was the same animal.
"I guess it is a possibility that that's the case," he said.
"It's a fair way from here, it's the same size but like I said, there are a number of whale species that are about that size that do wash up."

Ecuador's Cotopaxi volcano coughs 2 kilometer high column of ash
Yahoo! News
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 02:16 UTC
The giant ash column was visible from Quito, 45 kilometers (30 miles) to the north of the volcano, considered one of the world's most dangerous because its snow cap is vulnerable in an eruption and because of its close proximity to densely populated areas.
Ecuador's security coordination ministry said ash rose 2,000 meters above the volcano's crater, and warned some could fall on Quito's southern neighborhoods.
Cotopaxi, one of eight active volcanoes in Ecuador, last erupted in 1877.
The government declared a state of emergency in August after the volcano roared to life and has been conducting evacuation drills among the population.
An estimated 325,000 people could be affected if the eruption triggers mudslides and avalanches, according to the authorities.
Comment: There have been many reports of volcanic eruptions or volcanic activity in the past month - a lot of them in the Ring of Fire:
Torrential rain brings flooding to Larnaca, Cyprus
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:40 UTC
Police also said that the road up to the village of Skarinou has been closed.
Roads in Larnaca were drenched in heavy rain fall which led to roads being flooded.
The fire services were busy pumping water out of flooded basements in the surrounding villages of Larnaca such as Mazotos on Thursday afternoon.
Teams are continuing to clean roads of debris and to pump the roads of rain.
Sinkhole forms at cemetery in Laconia, New Hampshire

The Citizen (New Hampshire)

The Citizen (New Hampshire)
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:25 UTC
Groundskeeper Scott Bridges said the sinkhole, which is about 30 feet wide and 8 feet deep, occurred during last week's torrential rainstorm on Sept. 30 at about 4 p.m. The pipe that broke was more than 65 years old, and Bridges said the bottom of one section rotted out and caused the collapse.
Over the past several days, the hole has continued to widen ever so slightly, and the hope is to get the broken pipe replaced and the hole filled as soon as possible. He said the goal is to have it done before the next major rainstorm, and he assumes work will begin within the next week or so.
"Right now, it seems to be maintaining, but if we get any more rain and bad weather, that could be bad," said Bridges. "The hole will get bigger because the soil is so loose, and it will collapse more. As long as we don't get a really bad rainstorm, we should be OK."
Mapping the El Niño winter could create massive flooding in Pasadena
Jeff Wattenhofer
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:00 UTC
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:00 UTC
El Niño-fueled rainy season has some people in Pasadena prepping for the possibility of massive flooding, reports KPCC. The problem all stems from the reservoir that flows up to the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena—over the years, debris and sediment has built up, choking off release values and water release gates. In addition to the normal buildup, the Station Fire in 2009 sent exponentially more debris into the dam, further hindering its effectiveness. This has Los Angeles County Flood Control officials concerned that a series of big enough storms could overwhelm the dam and send floodwaters crashing through the affluent Arroyo Seco neighborhood and beyond. A report compiled by the LA County Flood Control shows that a big enough storm could send water flowing two to 10 feet above the walls of the Arroyo Seco Channel. Flooding could even stretch onto the 110 Freeway.
Comment: Non-el Niño years create complacency and forgetfulness in regards to the threat of flooding and its ramifications. It is short-sighted to be non-anticipatory of the risk, especially considering earth change anomalies increasing in frequency and severity and how many communities all over the world that have recently experienced devastating and unexpected catastrophes. The ounce of prevention just might be worth the pound of cure. See also:

Tens of thousands of dead fish found on Sakhalin island, Russia
The Siberian Times
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 14:15 UTC
Fish expert Nikolay Kim said the weather conditions had caused 'strong daily fluctuations' in water temperature. 'In the afternoon it is warm, but at night the temperature falls sharply,' he said. 'The sardines cannot withstand such fluctuations and can be found in a large number on the shore.'
In such conditions, the fish become inactive - and are swept ashore by waves. These sardines are found in in subtropical waters but in early summer migrate to the south-west coast of Sakhalin for fattening, staying until mid-October.
News agency Interfax - Far East reported that water in the southern part of the Tatar Strait warmed to 20C, but a recent cyclone led to a sharp decrease in its temperature.
For locals it was a bonanza, and a free lunch. Experts say the fish are edible.
Bear attacks in Russia increase as population explodes and climate goes haywire
Olga Gertcyk
The Siberian Times
Mon, 05 Oct 2015 13:34 UTC
The Siberian Times
Mon, 05 Oct 2015 13:34 UTC
And the attacks from hungry bears on remote towns and settlements may not be over for winter: in some areas, brown bears are no longer hibernating in winter. Or they wake up early from an unsatisfactory hibernation.
In many places, environmentalists say that the traditional food supply for bears - for example berries and nuts - is vanishing, due to and lack of rainfalls and scorching summers that have been a feature of recent years, leading to a spate of cases of bears scavenging in settlements, or even digging up recent graves, in a desperate search for food.
Comment: As above, so below: Like the human population, species in the animal kingdom are going berzerk!
This is not just happening in Russia. In the US Northeast, bears are moving into populated areas in increasing numbers, while attacks in more remote places like Alaska have increased.
Clearly it isn't the food supply or weather changes per se that are causing this; rather, changes in animal behavioural patterns are occurring in lock-step with changes in the broader environment.

Sleeping Idaho hunter wakes up to find bear biting his head
Keith Ridler
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:57 UTC
Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:57 UTC
Stephen Vouch, 29, reached behind his head and felt it was wet. He yelled when he realized a bear was biting at his head.
"He got a hold of my head, and that's what woke me up," the Boise resident said Wednesday, who was in the rugged area hunting bighorn sheep with friends. "That's when I kind of freaked out. That's when I could hear the bear breathing on me."
His scream startled the bear, which jumped and hit the tarp above where they were sleeping. The tarp tumbled, entangling the animal and the hunters around 2 a.m. Friday.

Editorial: Election results raise hope for Afghan progress
Afghanistan has just completed its first genuinely democratic election for president. Unlike the last supposedly free election, this one appears to have been free of the massive fraud that kept the erratic and obstructive Hamid Karzai in office.

Stopped in for lunch on our first day in Dublin. Checked trip advisor (it was in the top ten of 1,100 and only a few blocks away.) We were thrilled to find it as quaint and clean as the photos. Our server was more than pleasant. She was attentive but not intrusive, and even returned with a printed exchange rate for us after we causally mentioned it.
My salad was one of the best I ever had. It was called the superfood salad and it was just perfect after a Long trip of eating not-so-good food on the run & in airports. It was so nice to be able to depend on trip advisor & not wander around trying to find a good place to eat.

The biggest value of aged life insurance leads is building your follow ups…or what we refer to as your database of prospects.
A lot of agents determine a good lead source by how many new clients they get immediately. You will get new clients and "one call closes", but the biggest value of aged leads is all the follow ups you're setting.
We've been working internet leads for years and trust us when we say it's all about timing. Some prospects will buy now, most prospects will buy later. You just need to build trust and have a good follow up system. If you can do that, you'll love aged leads.
If you're having good conversations and setting follow ups, there's no way this campaign can't be profitable for you (because these leads are SO cheap). The new clients will follow.
We don't generate these leads ourselves. We aggregate them from data feeds being fed into ping-post systems. Let us explain.
The major lead vendors we've all heard of are using a technology called "ping posting". Ping posting connects marketers with lead vendors by allowing the marketers to "ping" the lead vendors with information they just collected of a life insurance consumer.
If the information collected passes the lead vendors verification platforms, the lead vendor will accept the lead (aka "post" the lead), pay the marketer and be automatically distributed as an exclusive or shared lead to us life insurance agents.
The data we're sending to you is the raw data that's being sent through these ping posting systems – whether accepted or not. So some of the data we're receiving won't be high quality, but we do our best to bring up the quality by:
We're not claiming to send you the best leads. That's not our value proposition. Our value proposition is this:
By being the "human" filter to this data, your cost per acquisition will be lower than any real-time shared or exclusive internet lead.
Ahh…the #1 question asked when someone calls us so lets address it front and center on our home page.
It depends.
YOUR ROI will depend on your sales skills, your follow up systems, your underwriting experience, how long you contact the leads, what products you offer, your product line, your commission levels etc.
I can tell you we have agents writing 1 out of every 50 leads consistently and we have agents writing 1 out of every 500 leads (still profitable)…and both are making it work because the acquisition costs are there. And remember that number will get better as time goes on because of all the follow ups.
We've priced it so if you make just 1 sale, you'll have a great ROI.

Stayed here for a month and it was well worth the money. Low weekly and monthly rates. This is a smaller park that is quiet. Lot is all gravel and level, there is no dust. Owners were friendly and easy going. Bathrooms and laundry rooms were kept very clean. We would definitely go back. - CMDENTON
May 2007 - $18.00
This very small & noisy park has mostly permanent residents and sits right on the main thoroughfare. Of the 12 tightly-spaced, thickly graveled sites only 1 or 2 are available for transient RV'ers. The park is apparently full to capacity all year long, mostly with early-rise workers. We called for reservations several months prior to our visit and we were told to "Come on in". We checked again about a week ahead of our arrival and received the same response. When we arrived, the office was closed and there were instructions to self-park and return after 5 p.m. to check-in. Had another traveler pulled in before us, they would have taken the only remaining site and our "Come-on-in reservation" would be worthless. Not a good system. The hard-working and sincere on-site owners work full-time elsewhere and there is no other employees to staff the office, thus leaving no help available during normal working hours. The owners are admittedly having trouble finding time for all they have to do and they aren't too worried about filling the 2 vacant sites with travelers. To their credit, they have several improvement projects in process, most everything is in good repair and the park is as charming as possible given it's poor location. The park offers free WiFi (Lynksys) with an excellent signal & speed. There is no cable TV, showers, or laundry – but it's "coming soon" according to the nicely-designed, if not overblown, website. The sites are simply too narrow for picnic tables or grills, our 50-amp service was not working and the sites are definitely too short to accommodate big rigs (we backed our 37' 5th wheel and still-attached F-350 into the end site – which left quite a bit of our rig hanging out into the "street"). We only stayed here for one night and even then it was a definite disappointment. - paulandholly

We had a pleasant surprise when pulling into the park. It is neat looking, the spaces are wide and shady. So shady in space #61 we couldn't pull in as the trees needed trimming. We did find a nice spot and enjoyed our stay. I would give this park a 9 if they would trim the trees and cut a few weeds around the permanent resident's trailers. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. Would stay here again. Stayed in a 5th wheel. - Marilynintexas

This is an old KOA. Rate for a 50amp is $520 per month which included electric. Wifi is available and the majority of the time worked ok. We were here for 8 months for a temp. job assignment. Saw 4 different sets of managers and staff. Sites are in desperate need of rock. Not level. There was a picnic table and standalone grill in our site but it was extremely close to our motorhome and it couldn't be moved. Large tree stump right in the middle of the site which was in the way. Run down trailers and modular homes that are being rented out. Cabins have long term rentals that need to clean up the outside. Tent area is overrun with grass and goatheads. Washers and dryers didn't work most of the time. Thankfully there is a very nice clean laundry right down the road. Bathrooms may or may not be clean. Works with minimal staff. Office opens at 8 and closes at 5 the majority of the time. The pool and hot tub are not operational. There is a small area for kids with a swing set. The main office building is in dire need of repair. There is a nice fenced dog park which could use a little repair, i.e. holes in the fence. Old dead trees that have branches break off with a good wind. The water pressure was good but the electricity did go off just about every day. During a storm it did go off at night and guests didn't know what to do as there was no emergency contact number or a member of staff on site.
4 years ago this was a nice park with different owners. The present owner is out of state and has no ideal what goes on and doesn't seem to want to supply funds to bring this back up to a nice park to stay at as we saw now improvements in the time we were there.
We would not recommend this park nor do we plan on staying here again unless there have been significant improvements. Would not be able to overnight without unhooking your toad. - OverThatWayAgain
Nov 2014 - $17.00
We have been here since Nov. 2014 due to the hubbys job. We had stayed here before and this is the reason we chose this park. The rate listed is based on the monthly rate and includes electricity.
The manager and staff are very helpful, courteous and are always working on things around the park. The restrooms were very clean during various times during the day. We did not use the laundry. The office area was always clean and there were gifts, small selection of groceries, etc.
We will probably not return unless they bring in some gravel. When it rains it is nothing but a mud hole and there are large holes and ruts throughout the park. - OverThatWayAgain

The County Planning Commission is BrokePermalink +
Wed, Jan 30, 2013, 1:09 am // Wendy Harris
Do we really need a County Planning Commission? Thanks to poor appointment choices by the Council, the Planning Commission is broken. The Council appoints citizens to the Commission based on political ideology (CAPR, Tea Party, or some other form of property rights extremism.) As a result, few qualified citizens bother to apply for the PC.
PC meetings are attended by a fan club of believers, who encourage the PC to reject science and local law. Anyone with a different viewpoint is subject to hostility and ridicule, if not from the Commissioners, than from the audience regulars. Few people, outside of the fan club, bother to attend.
As a result, the PC does not fulfill its intended purpose of vetting planning proposals based on review of local law and consideration of public input. There is little filter between the public and the Council on land use matters. The gap between the PC's recommendations and the public's comments has increased. Instead of responding with self-righteous indignation to the snickers and comments of angry, frustrated constituents, the Council should examine the connection between their partisan PC appointments and acrimonious public testimony. If the PC process is broken, (and I believe it is), then the Council has broken it.
I can think of no greater example than the proposal to rezone agricultural land for slaughterhouses. For several meetings now, the Council has attempted to pass the rezone, and is repeatedly meet with opposition from members of the public who raise numerous valid concerns. A limited proposal from the Planning Department was sharply altered by the PC, who recommended removing restrictions on the size and number of slaughter facilities. If the PC was functional, these issues would have been reviewed and resolved before reaching Council.
We all know how much the County Council hates, hates, hates those political appointees on the Growth Management Hearings Board, but recently, the former Chair had good advice on "The Art of Planning Commission Maintenance." http://www.mrsc.org/focus/pladvisor/pla0113.asp. And guess what? The first recommendation was to select the right people, i.e. a broad representation of the community, technical expertise, history of community involvement. It was noted that "the planning commission is a deliberative body, not simply a straw poll among predetermined, inflexible opinions. It is important to find people who are not only willing to listen but also to speak up, to persuade and be persuaded." Translation: no ideologues.
This year 4 County Council seats will be up for re-election. During the campaign process, ask the candidates if they are willing to fix the PC through appointments based on qualification and fair representation of community values. Even if it means appointing someone with a planning background or someone who supports land use regulations. Only Carl Weimer has attempted to rank appointees (at a time when there was enough interest to generate about 25 applicants) based on criteria reflecting qualification for appointment, which he made public. Are other candidates willing to be objective and transparent?
Delaine Clizbe // Sun, Feb 03, 2013, 2:57 pm
"Do we really need a County Planning Commission?" I asked myself the same question about the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Commission. Since I am a mountain biker and a trail runner and spent a huge amount of time in our City and County parks, I thought I would be "qualified" to be on the commission. Turns out the real qualification is only that you agree politically with Mike McFarland, Whatcom County Park Director. I haven't the time, due to fighting against a little MPD issue, to deal in depth with this issue now. Suffice it to say that in my estimation the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Commission is also broken!
Hopefully, since you think the Planning Commission is broken and I think the Parks Commission is broken that the two cancel each other out and we somehow get some balance!

"Do we really need a County Planning Commission? Thanks to poor appointment choices by the Council, the Planning Commission is broken."
I encourage you to approach the council to make your argument.
I, David Onkels, am a member of the commission, of course.

Mobile clinic raises concernsFebruary 22,2013
NEWPORT Officials are concerned that a mobile methadone clinic in Vermont is not safe after a recent attempted robbery.
They feel the clinic, which parks each morning at the Newport city recycling center, isnt secure enough after a man approached a staffer last month at its nearby administrative headquarters. They say he demanded methadone and ran away without any after the staffer said she didnt have access to the drug, which is kept locked.

After the recent release and success of Lafangey Parindey, Yash Raj Films is back with the next and last 2010 venture. We brought you glimpses of this before, and here's more coming your way, straight from the creatives of Band Baaja Baaraat. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, this YRF movie stars the elegant Anushka Sharma and and introduces a bindaas charm spinner, Ranveer Singh.
Shruti (Anushka Sharma) is a 20 year old Delhi lass who believes life is no joke. Also bed of roses. And definitely not a romantic fairy tale. She is ambitious, focused and determined with preplanned achievements.
Bittoo (Ranveer Singh) is a polar opposite! He mirrors the typical
Indian college going boy who enjoys life with his mates, educating
himself only sufficiently enough. He's a dreamer, yes, and whats more,
he has plans!
Shruti and Bittoo meet during a chaotic expedition where they somehow
mutually agree to opening up a joint wedding planning business. The
biggest string attached to this professional alliance is a strict no-no
to anything personal. However, when destiny has a plan, mortals have
little say to alter!

Jerdacuttup River is a river located in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The water in the river is naturally saline.
The river rises on the edge of the Yilgarn Plateau north of Ravensthorpe below Mount Short and drains the eastern side of the Ravensthorpe Range before flowing south and draining into the Jerdacuttup lakes close to the Southern Ocean and east of Hopetoun.
The tributaries of the river include Moolyall Creek, Woodenup Creek, Cordingup Creek, Carlingup Creek, Boaiup Creek, Bandalup Creek and Burlabup Creek.
The name is Indigenous Australian in origin and first charted by John Forrest in 1870.[3]
The river is the location of a significant komatiite deposit[4]

I didn't stay at Hostel Toruma. I booked it online and paid a $12.00 deposit but received an email the night before I was due to fly advising Hostel Toruma was having remodelling. And that I was now booked into Hostel Pangea. I wasn't happy because I: 1. Didn't understand why the website took a booking for Toruma when it wasn't open. 2. Didn't want to stay at Hostel Pangea-known as a 'party hostel' for young people-wasn't given a choice. 3. Have issues with Pangea service/charges

Please note - we are no longer accepting albums for review, and haven't been for some time. I'm now getting too many requests to even respond to, if an album review goes up it's because we've had the CD for a long time, before we stopped doing them. It'll still take us a long time to get those done, so apologies in advance.
If you'd like coverage on Shredaholic, the best thing to do is write a lesson. It's giving back to your fanbase and is quick for us to put on the site.
We still welcome user submitted album reviews, so please feel free to send those in.

Southern comfort
You left out the best part of The Southern, the drink special "Ribbons and Roses" — can of PBR with a shot of Four Roses bourbon on the side ("At The Southern, Tom Morales & Co. bring down-home flavor downtown," June 21). $6 — unbeatable.

Parental guidance suggested
I am so pleased that Chely is happy ("Chely Wright: The Scene Interview," June 14). Where I exit off the "equality in marriage rights" path, is in the IVF procreation and stepparent adoption of children, other than orphans, to same-sex couples. You do not have the right to deliberately deny another human being the rearing of their biological parent.

Knuckleballer holiday
I almost didn't read it ("Dickey's Deliverance," June 21). The article began as if it were instructions for assembling a child's bicycle on Christmas Eve. Then to top it off, it begins with "K-i-n-e-s..." — well, a rough beginning for a sport fan! I persevered, though, and sure enough when J.R. got to "batters chasing it like drunk fishermen trying to snag a minnow barehanded" — he had me. I guess I spent more time at the lake than striving to get a master's involving biomechanics. However, from experience I used to chuckle at a batter's deer-in-the-headlights reaction and subsequent hip-hop-like body movements when I let loose of a well-executed knuckler. R.A. Dickey has no doubt seen that too and will go down in baseball history as one of the best. Many thanks to J.R. for spotlighting Dickey's current success.

Radio is the sound salvation
I came across your article passing through Nashville on my way back to East Lansing, Mich., after my time at Bonnaroo ("What's Left of the Dial," June 7). Though it probably makes me incredibly biased, I am writing as a college music director to thank you for writing that article. Working in college radio has jump-started my opportunities post-grad, and I also believe college stations provide education to the community that no classical station ever could.
I really appreciate the article and sure hope the FCC decides to block the sale. The loss of college stations on FM frequencies is a detriment to the music community and all students who could potentially be involved.

Race to the bottom
"We have the 11th highest HIV infection rate in the nation among those ages 13-19 ... " ("No Sex, No Education," May 10).
I get the Tennessee legislature's goal: They want Tennessee to [be] No. 1 in something at least, so No. 1 in HIV infections is attainable, since we will never be No. 1 in, say, education.

Friedmann fighting the good fight
[Alex] Friedmann has worked for years against sexual assaults in both public and for-profit prisons in conjunction with advocates such as those at Standing Together Against Rape ("An activist fights to make CCA more transparent — by joining the ranks of its stockholders," May 17).
He has also worked against physical abuse, the looting of public treasuries by slimy outfits such as CCA, the revolving door that has corrupted the relationship between the government and the provider, and the endless failures of CCA to meet its contractual obligations.
A person would be hard put to find anyone, in fact, who has been more conscientious than Friedmann in holding the corporation's feet to the fire.
He is performing the worthy function of public watchdog, admirable given the almost ubiquitous failure of contract monitors to ensure efficacious and professional for-profit operations at the federal, state and municipal levels.
The CCA prison at Otter Creek, whose operations were referred to in the article, maintained a pervasive atmosphere over many years of sexual harassment. Even the chaplain was indicted for participating in the abuse. But the sexual exploitation extends even to CCA management's failure to protect its own employees in the workplace. Dozens of women successfully sued CCA for sexual abuse and harassment at its Crowley County, Colo., prison, the last 21 receiving a settlement of $1.3 million in a class-action case.

Not one penny for turnip greens
I read that Mayor Dean wants to increase our taxes to fulfill his "vision for Nashville." I also read that he wants to use part of that tax to increase the subsidy to the Farmers' Market from about $79,000 per year to $350,000 per year (almost $30,000 per month!). Am I correct in thinking that the Farmers' Market is a private enterprise? Why are we subsidizing this venture, which has managed to chase away most of the interesting restaurants it once had? And the "remodeling" project was a joke. We used to go there because there were interesting stores and restaurant. They took them all out. I don't see any improvement. How much did that cost the taxpayers?
How many other private enterprises are we subsidizing? How about preparing a list with the amount of each subsidy. Divide the total by the number of residents in Davidson County, and then send each of us a letter asking for a check for our "share." I'll bet you'd get some interesting responses. I think the mayor should keep his "vision" focused on real government business, not subsidies for special interests.

New HRT car now set for final F1 test after failing two crash tests
|By Pablo Elizalde
|Thursday, February 9th 2012, 19:47 GMT
The new HRT car is set to make its debut in the third and final test of the pre-season after the Spanish squad's plans were delayed because it didn't pass all the mandatory crash tests this week.
HRT was aiming to get its new car on track for the first time at Barcelona on February 21 if it passed all the FIA crash tests, which are mandatory this year in order to be able to test.
AUTOSPORT has learned that out of the 17 mandatory tests, the new car passed 14, failed two and was unable to do one.
The new chassis passed all the tests, in what team insiders said it was a boost for the squad.
HRT has failed the roll-hoop and a lateral nose test by "very small margins", according to a team source.
A front impact test could not be carried out because of the failure to pass the lateral one.
A team source said having not passed those tests was not a worry, especially because the main concern was the chassis test which was passed successfully.
HRT's plans, however, have been altered as a result because it needs to manufacture new parts to pass the tests again in about a week's time.
That means the team will not be able to have the new car ready in time for the second Barcelona test, but it is still confident of making it to the third test on March 1.
HRT tested with last year's car at Jerez this week.

If you haven't yet heard of James Blake, you are a terrible person. Read on for DJ Fresca's analysis of his upcoming LP.
Lately, I've been coming across more and more things on the interwebz that make me think, "This is awesome. Them WVUM folks would think this is awesome, too." With that in mind, I've decided to start a new feature wherein we highlight some of the random cool stuff that's popped up on the Internet recently. Read on to see what the Internet has taught me this week.
Get out yer pocket planners, kids! It's time to pencil in all the cool things about this week, and there are plenty to go around.
Over the weekend, the annual Beaux Arts' Festival of Art took place at the University of Miami. It featured an array of talented and interesting artists, one of whom was nice enough to speak with me about his work. Click here to listen to my interview with Miami artist Ed King.
This week's events make me wish I had more time to spend around town. Keep reading or check out our events calendar for parties, shows, and more.
'Tis the season to be trapped in shopping mall parking lots, to be held captive in relatives' remote abodes, and to make resolutions that will never be kept. It's also the season when lists of what made 2010 are released in throngs. The Voice has compiled its own ranking of rotation music from the last year. Our music directors Laura Sutnick and Jonathan Kornman, as well as our staff of DJs, have all contributed to what WVUM thinks was the best in sound for 2010. We hope this makes your New Year's hangover a little more bearable.
