Supporters of the Alley Theatre hit a pair of parties toasting the holiday season. At one soiree, hosted at a Memorial manse, members of the theater company's board enjoyed a "French picnic" dinner and specialty cocktails. ... And the Deck the Trees event, chaired by Peter Ragauss and held on the opening night of the theater's production of A Christmas Carol, celebrated the lighting of the trees that appear throughout the Alley during the holidays. Each tree is sponsored, and local designers donate time and resources to decorate all 26. This year's initiative raised $80,000. –Photos by Wilson Parish and Priscilla Dickson

The 6 Most Terrifying Items People Actually Collect
#3. Corpse Tattoos
Someone who has multiple tattoos could claim to be a "collector," but in most cases they probably just like attention a whole lot. If you're a true collector of tattoos then they can't be on you, they need to belong to someone else. Don't get squeamish--it may sound horrifying but it just means there's a collection of stained skin, ripped from corpses, and preserved in a mummified state under glass.
Also, the skin is pulled so tight when mounted it's near translucent, and light shines through the puncture holes. Neat! Now tribal armbands and butterfly back tats can be appreciated by our great grand children, reassuring them that such poor decision makers are long dead.
Who would collect this?
Surprisingly, only a small number of people collect these works and his name is Dr. Katsunari Fukushi. He is involved with the Japanese Tattoo Institute where they study the art of looking like a total badass. His pieces are from those who endured the traditional hand-applied method of "tebori," where they insert charcoal ink into your skin with bundled needles attached to a bamboo stick.
The Yakuza (the Japanese mafia) were famous for having these tattoos and Fukushi has 105 flawless examples in a collection that amounts to a John Dillinger trading card crossed with Leatherface's wet dream. Photographs of the collection don't appear to be available, because either he doesn't like the attention or because camera technology has not advanced to the point where it can capture something that creepy.
Our attempt, via Photoshop
Most of Fukushi's prime pieces were gathered from the 1920s to the 1940s, which makes us sad to think of all of the glorious modern tattoos that will never be preserved. Maybe somebody needs to start a new collection ...
#2. Pickled Punks
"Pickled Punks" was carnival slang for jarred fetuses that were put on display at sideshows. Normally the fetus would feature some type of abnormality, because an abortion crammed into a Mason jar intended for sweet Georgia peaches wasn't shocking enough on its own.
Who would collect this?
If you're thinking it's illegal as hell to own these, you're right. C.M. Christ (not to be confused with Jesus H.) learned that in 1977 when his baby freak show was raided by police and he was arrested for the illegal possession of human remains.
You want to play around with the dead? You need a mortician's license and even then you can't charge people for looks, even though that's kind of exactly what you do with a funeral, but with all the money being paid by the people who were most affected by the death. So what's a modern pickled punk collector to do? Give up their terrifying collection? Hell no! They buy rubber replicas, of course.
They're called "bouncers" by collectors, because the rubber replicas will bounce in the jar. If you shake the jar of your newly bought fetus and the thing inside doesn't bounce off the bottom, somebody is probably going to jail.
The replicas range from $65 to $200, so go ahead and spice up the cubicle, just like this guy:
OK, so number one could be considered rather unsafe for work, so we're going to put it behind a link. Yes, that's right a third page, and this time we have a reason, maybe the best reason we've ever had for adding a third page to an article: there are detailed representations of genitalia on the way.

11X14 Custom Canvas for $30 + free shipping
Nothing looks as good over the fireplace as a photo of your LARP group.
5 Comments add a comment
I want this deal, but after trying both IE and Firefox, i can't get it to successfully upload a photo...man!
I got this deal last year when it was posted at Google Offers. I was able to upload a picture just fine using Firefox. The canvas looks pretty nice and I think $30 is a fair deal including shipping. Make sure the photo's just as you want it before submitting, my canvas picture is a bit dark but that's my own fault.
Canvas is another 18.95 to ship - not so great a deal.
Don't know if the deal is stack-able in the coupons section, but it either changes to a better deal or lowers the price...order 2 (that's the only way to make the deal work). then enter Family55. This will convert the deal to about $76 for two of the canvasses in this size with no frame and no special effects. Less than 40 each seems a pretty good deal if you want to keep one and use the other as a gift.
Dude, made my night!
LARP > everything.

Dozens of officers and National Guard members are in Watertown, where television outlets report that gunfire and explosions have been heard. A helicopter is circling overhead.
Authorities early Friday were calling for somebody to get on the ground and put their hands up and a loud thud was heard after someone shouted "fire in the hole."
Reporters are being told to move away from the scene. A police officer told a reporter: "If you want to live, turn off your cell phone."
Earlier Thursday night a campus police officer was shot and killed at MIT and authorities were searching for the person responsible.

"The annexation is a simple thing, they requested at the reception in Bowling Green that they wanted to be annexed into the city," said Franklin Mayor Jim Brown.
Mayor Brown says the process for Garvin's RV Park to be annexed is already underway. If the annex is approved, that means the park will be paying taxes to the city of Franklin.
"Probably the biggest impact for us will be the payroll tax."
Franklin has a payroll tax of one percent.
Mayor Brown says there's no surefire way to determine exactly how much more revenue the city will gain in taxes from Garvin's just yet.

Can someone help me build a Navigation Program for the NXT?
The project I want to accomplish is to connect the laptop with the NXT via Bluetooth and navigate the robot using the arrow keys of the keyboard.
And I want this Bluetooth connection until a button (q for example) is pressed from the keyboard.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I am using Handbrake to rip a DVD to a MKV. The filesize for a ~5GB .VOB rip is a nearly 2GB .MKV.
Is there a program in Ubuntu that shrinks MKV's? I looked around and found a lot of Windows programs, but none that work well in Wine. I was thinking about shrinking it to a 300-400MB file (Like most MKV rips), but I don't know how to shrink it in Ubuntu. Any ideas?

I'm a full 2H warrior and already spending perk points on 2H, Block, Heavy Armor plus Blacksmithing and Enchanting. Should I get the perk to create Plate armor? In order to get it I should spend one in Elven Armor as well...
Plate armor has the same armor rating as Orcish armor (40 base armor) which has the same level requirement. Plate is also heavier than Orcish. Stick with the Heavy Armor path in Smithing.
I made the mistake of getting the elven armor perk without realizing that type of armor really isn't going to be suiting my 2handed warrior build. It's just one perk but really you should stick to the heavy side until dragon.
The Plate perk also allows one to build scale armor. I took the plate perk so I could create better armor for my followers who use light armor. It's a personal decision.

combobox dispayFiled from a store
when i have a field.select from sencha touch that takes his displayFiled from a store, and then start the app, the Field.Select shows automatic the first record from the Store.
If i do the same in ext.js 4.2 but with a Filed.comboBox, it shows an empty combobox, only if you click on it it will show you the records.
What shall i do to let the combobox shows the first record from the store when i start the app?
11 Apr 2013 10:53 AM #2
There's not an out of the box way to do that in ExtJS. But, it can be done. In the snippet below is a listeners config for the combo. After the combo is rendered its store's datachanged event is relayed to the combo and the store is loaded(). The datachanged event listener takes the first record in the store and sets the combo's value using that record.
listeners: { afterrender: function (field) { field.relayEvents(field.getStore(), ['datachanged']); field.getStore().load(); } , datachanged: { fn: function (store) { this.setValue(store.first().get(this.valueField)); } , single: true } }
12 Apr 2013 7:12 AM #3
would you pls. give more spesific example of this, cause i am working with Architect and Architect doesnot allow to edit the main files, if i add an event binding so it looks different than what you wrote:
listeners: { afterrender: { fn: me.onComboboxAfterRender, scope: me } }
items: [ { xtype: 'combobox', afterrender: function(field) { },
datachanged: { fn: function (store) { this.setValue(store.first().get(this.valueField)); } , single: true }
12 Apr 2013 5:38 PM #4
The snippet I posted works if applied to a combobox, but I'm not as practiced in Architect at this point. I'm moving the thread over to the Architect forum to allow the Architect community an opportunity to weigh in.
13 Apr 2013 1:54 AM #5
Haven't tested the solution to your actual problem, but I can show you how to set this up in SA in this screen-cast:
13 Apr 2013 6:57 AM #6
thanks Mattias for replay, i did the same steps like you did in the screencast, then i get an error "Cannot call method 'indexOf' of undefined" and the the application looks broken.
13 Apr 2013 8:45 AM #7
As I said - no clue about what you are trying to achieve, just showing how to do it in Architect.
I'd check all the valueFields and Store Models to make sure they match. Add debug in datachanged to make sure that you try searching for the right value, make sure the Store is loaded is another thing I'd check. Break down the chain of getting values into the ComboBox and verify each step is my advise.
Best of luck,
13 Apr 2013 9:05 AM #8
the store works well with the model and the datafileds, because the combobox shows the data in a write way when i start the app, it is about showing the firtsdatafield when it gets renderd, it shows instead the emptytext.
I made a test with Architect, the cobobox works well with the store, but as soon as i move the comments sign (//....) from the eventindings, it give an error.

Halo 4 [Xbox-360] for $39.99 + free shipping
Deal is on Amazon, so qualifies for free Super Saves Shipping, and Prime members of course get the free 2-day shipping!
13 Comments add a comment
Also includes $10 Instant Video Credit
And this is why I don't buy games the second they come out.
So I bought this but I haven't received my $10 Instant Video credit (although it does say it can take up to 2 days). However, I received an email immediately after saying:
"Thank you for your purchase from Amazon.com. Your purchase entitles you to a $7 promo credit good towards Major League Gaming's Game Battles Premium. GameBattles is the largest online destination for competitive console and PC gaming. Featuring tournaments, ladders, forums and more for all the latest and hot titles, GameBattles is home to over 8 million gamers worldwide. GameBattles enables you to play against your friends, compete in tournaments and watch some of the best gamers in the world. To redeem your credit visit http://www.amazon.com/GameBattles-Premium-Access-Months-Online/dp/** click "Buy and get code" and your credit will be automatically applied.
The promotional credit must be used by January 31, 2013."
Just something else in this deal, I guess. I better get that video credit, though!
matts2am: I agree - Amazon saves some face as it has run a gold box deal since Black Friday where you pay $59 for Halo 4, but then get a $20 Amazon gift card and a $10 video credit, which I took advantage of.
lister22: The credit came through after about three days under the previous deal that I mentioned above,
@matts2am: And that is why I am already a level 59 Wetworks and will make toast of you when you finally start playing!
To a point.
Wo Ho!! Gift Time!! Just ordered and shipped with Gift Wrapping...
@lister22: According to Amazon, "Your Amazon Instant Video credit will be automatically applied to your account when your order has shipped."
I got the lightning deal of this. I bought Windows 8 and got a $30 credit. The price was $59.99 for the game and then a $20 credit for purchasing and then a $10 instant video credit. Brought the game down to free basically.. and then I picked 5-7 day shipping and it gave me a $3 instant video credit..
Essentially, they paid me $3.00 to get halo 4.
That is amazing. You can't get paid to get a game often!
If it ever runs out they are having the same deal at the microsoftstore, without the 10 dollar video credit.
at fred meyer right now for $39.99. until the 15th
Just purchased one too. 2 day shipping with Prime, can't wait!!
It's also $39.99 at Target. But this still seems the better deal as it includes the $10 Amazon credit.

I've recently installed Fedora 18 on one of the machines in my office, and I've installed Samba so I can browse the file system on my Windows machine.
However, I'm having some trouble opening port 137 for the NetBIOS naming system. I'm using the command below to open the port but when I use
iptables -L or
nmap -sT -O localhost in an attempt to list the open ports, it doesn't appear anywhere.
[root@localhost ~]# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables save
Note: I've checked that both the
smb and
nmb daemons are up and running, they are (although log.smbd lists a warning about the standard input is not a socket and denied permissions for the /root/.pkcs11/pksc11.conf file).

Christian Dior Fall Couture 2012
In one of the most highly anticipated designer debuts ever, Raf Simons catapulted the house into a new, vibrant era just as John Galliano did before him.
PARIS — Fashion is about dreams. On Monday afternoon, as Raf Simons launched his Christian Dior era in a grand residence in a series of intimate rooms, the walls of each covered in densely packed, floor-to-ceiling flowers — white orchids in one room, deep purple delphiniums and multiblooms in another — Bernard Arnault and Sidney Toledano must have experienced the best kind of fashion dream: a dream come true.
In one of the most highly anticipated designer debuts ever, Simons catapulted the house of Dior into a new, vibrant era just as John Galliano did before him. Two-thousand-twelve seems a different world than 1997, today's world one in which serious couture-hungry markets have exploded in far-off places, flush with customers interested not only in statement eveningwear but clothes for less demonstrative moments. Simons covered both exquisitely, with confidence, high chic and, most importantly, the sharp modernity essential if Dior is to regain its position among the houses that drive fashion — as well as in its rivalry with Chanel for megaluxury-brand superiority. After the show, Arnault called his yearlong designer search worth the wait. "I didn't want to rush," he said. "It was really a question of choosing the best person for the job, and he stood head and shoulders above the rest: the greatest talent of the moment for Dior, the greatest house in the world."
Upon arriving at the posh venue, one felt that tingle of fashion event. Yes, there was people-watching aplenty, with Jennifer Lawrence and house ambassadors Marion Cotillard and Sharon Stone on hand, as well as a phenomenal multigenerational assortment of the supportive competition — Azzedine Alaïa, Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace, Riccardo Tisci, Olivier Theyskens, Diane von Furstenberg, even Pierre Cardin and Jean-Louis Scherrer, as well as Alber Elbaz, who, at his men's show on Sunday, mentioned that he would attend. "We designers today don't hate each other the way they used to," he offered in explanation. Postshow, Jacobs declared Simons' collection "absolutely magnificent," while Tisci called it "very Raf" and "the future of fashion."
Tisci nailed it, certainly at the couture level. In this age of obsessive brand-building on the global scale, couturiers have a tremendous challenge. They must infuse the dream of fashion within a reality that speaks to rich, sophisticated, often-entitled clients whose expectations run as high as their thresholds for sartorial seduction. The couturiers must do it while staying pathologically on brand, the better to fuel their labels' subcouture moneymaking endeavors.
A glorious reality permeated Simons' clothes. Walking into a house and finding at his sudden disposal Dior's vast resources both outside it (that flower budget!) and within (the miraculously skilled atelier), even a confirmed minimalist renowned for his control might have gone a little mad.
Not Simons. Not once. His first look said it all: a tuxedo featuring a Bar jacket of modified cut so that it looked more suited to a chic dinner party this evening than a 1948 fashion spread. The black tailoring continued all sleek and adult until out came a black bustier miniparty dress — "cut-off ballgown" read the line list — over cigarette pants, a look followed by a trio of similar pairings only with feistier dresses in lively, colorful embroideries. These signaled the importance of making Dior resonate as not only modern but more youthful. Ditto some amazing party frocks, each one a gentle ode to couture craft, one in wide bands of pale pink and blue feathers, another in reed-thin strips of organza and chiffon.
Still, young actresses and young Eastern money aside, at its heart couture remains far from a girlish indulgence. Simons brilliantly handled the back-and-forth between sophisticated elegance and the younger end of his range, always with a fierce focus on construction and subtly of detail. Nor was that dichotomy his lone point of contrast. He worked with various weights — deep blue astrakhan and mink, and light-as-air pastel mesh for suits and dresses. Against his ample blacks and grays he flaunted his love of color — a simply flamboyant coat in "Dior Red," a high-impact evening pairing of sheer T-shirt and skirt in shocking citron. Some looks carried their own contrast, featuring different embroideries in front and back, one side a traditional floral, the other an abstract graphic the designer dubbed "futurist."
Throughout, Simons telegraphed respect for the house founder via his invocation of such archival wonders as the Bar, the florals and a range of gray tweeds, while keeping his feet and his message planted firmly in 21st-century terra moda.
The collection was not only beautiful but the work of an already-established fashion star imposing his own brilliant aesthetic upon an iconic legacy without a trace of intimidation. This allows Dior to move on finally and definitively from one magical chapter in its history — and at their height, the Galliano years were magical — with every indication of another commencing. Bravo, Raf. Congratulations, Dior.

If stockingstuffer.woot.com existed, what would like to see?
This is a carry over from the discussion a couple days ago about pop.woot.com. Here is a copy/paste on what I posted on that thread of what I'd like to see...
Woot-off style. Things like cheap gadgets, maybe $50 or less. Things that would fit in a stocking, like Sansas, batteries, styluses (styli?), mouses (mice?), input devices, handheld stuff, pocket games, pocket pets, pocket knives, headphones, earphones, flashlights, chocolate (the kind that real people eat, not the snooty expensive stuff), coffee, AA shirts (sorry, I couldn't resist), socks, slippers, snuggies, etc.
I'm sure I could think of more, but that's a start. What would you like to see on stockingstuffer.woot.com?
22 Answers answer
Houdini wine opener sets, Leak Frogs, Kindle Keyboards, Covers for Kindles, including the Fire, etc., Lock & Lock sets, Amazing Sliders, SOG Fish pocket knife and more.
My brain is broken right now. ;-) Note: Not all of these are $50 & under. But, they were good buys! In reality, it's probably too late for woot to stock those items. Just want to say that they'd be welcome to me at any time.
All deals under $10. @gmwhit has expensive tastes in stockings :)
@okham: Why, yes, I probably do. :-/ OTOH, some of the items I suggested would easily fit in the neat stockings that @ohcheri posted. ;-)
Side note: Buying $10 or less items on woot is only a good purchase when you buy multiples. And plan on unlocking the shopping charge. Must be done early in the day. Remember to cross your fingers that there will be other items you want that day.
@okham: I thought about saying $10 or less, too, but I doubt Woot would consider it. $50 or less gives them more variety, but still allows for the less than $10 items as well. I'd also like to add flash drives to my list of stocking stuffers.
Still waiting on Fleur de Sel caramels. Yummmmm! All I want for Christmas!
I've done a lot of stocking stuffering (new word!) on Woot over the years. Since I come from the "under $10" school of stocking stuffers, nothing much has been offered on Woot this year that I can use, but in the past I've bought flying monkeys, earbuds, t-shirts, flash drives, and those little digital photo frame keychains that were under $4. This year I stocked up on fuzzy slipper socks for the girls from another site (accidently ordered twice so I have 16 pair!), and fleece caps for everyone.
My kiddos are pretty much grown so I don't need kid toys for the stockings, but I do need ideas! C'mon, Woot! Stockingstuffer.woot.com sounds like a winner!
+1 for 10$ or less items! (that means no tvs or vacuums woot!)
Sansas as far as the eye can see. Leak frogs, knives (cause you can never have too many), flashlights (ditto), maybe some cheaper but still nice pens.
Seriously though, you guys would put a Leak Frog in a stocking?
"Wow, thanks for the Leak Frog, Santa!" said nobody ever.
Woot! seems to be under the impression that I have money. I would like to here and now dissuade them of this notion. What I need/want is cool tiny stuff that doesn't cost very much. Maybe even something a tad bit kitschy. The other year, I got my (adult) friend a nightlight shaped like the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. I am mightily tempted to buy him a Star Wars bobble head this year. This is money Woot could be taking from me if they'd only offer the right stuff. (I missed the lightsaber flashlights yesterday sob)
Too many woot sites already...
Bag of Coal
@mkentosh: I see what you did there. :-) Not holding my breath. Though Santa's Bag WAS a nice treat last year. Sob, sniffle.
Since they already have an "Enduring Holidays" site, it would be sooooo nice if they just added some stocking stuffers!
@lotsofgoats: Thanks a lot. I'll send you the bill for my new keyboard and monitor. ;)
I always thought that's what sellout.woot was for. Have I been doing it wrong all these years?
@inkycatz: Uh, those lamps will not fit in stockings! Perhaps you could put a stocking over the base and have a stocking leg lamp.
Pretty good ideas. I like the stocking stuffer concept.
Have you guys bought anything from the enduring holidays pop-up shop over at pop.woot.com, or do you think we should have gone with the stocking stuffer approach?
@shawnmiller: Nope, haven't bought anything. Enduring is not Endearing to me. Have you read this question about pop.woot?
@gmwhit: Yep. Seems universal from that group of folks that stocking stuffers would have been a hit.
Did you at least notice the blinking holiday lights on the pop.woot.com homepage? :)
@shawnmiller: Urrrmmm No. I didn't notice those beautiful and festive blinking lights. I must have blinked. Thanks for pointing them out.
Just a thought - there's still time to do a stocking.stuffer. Don't know if you have enough stock available, but you can see that it would be more of a hit. (If you would be so kind, please add some more blinking lights, too.)
pop.woot.com is back. this time with more stocking stuffers.

Consider the equation
$-\Delta u + Vu=f$,
on a closed manifold (or on a bounded domain with homogeneous Neumann condition). Here one can assume whatever integrability or smoothness conditions on $V$ and $f$ one likes. One can show that if $V$ and $f$ are both nonnegative and not identically zero, then the unique solution $u$ is strictly positive. Moreover, $u$ is bounded from below by a constant $C$ times an appropriate norm of $f$, where $C$ does not depend on $f$. My question is, where or how can I find more information on how $C$ depends on $V$?

Art on Call
In this installation Georgina Starr has constructed a virtual museum of her own memories, collected and documented while she was living temporarily in The Hague, Netherlands. Starr loosely based her Nine Collections on the 17th-century painting by William Van Hecht, Appelles Painting Campapse, which hangs in the Mauritshuis Collection in The Hague and can be seen in a photograph on one of the walls of this installation. That canvas portrays the ordered chaos of a 17th-century picture gallery. Starr's work mimics this chaos, bringing together a series of ordinary objects reminiscent of her stay in The Hague ranging from photographs of her doll and alter ego "Junior" to documentation of her blind dinner dates. After collecting all of these objects in her boarding room, Starr assembled them for a photograph that became the basis for this installation. Using the multimedia technology of CD-ROM, Starr divided these objects into a series of nine collections, each identified with a particular emotion or state of being, including loneliness, happiness, sorrow, or fantasy. At once autobiographical and fictional, these memories and images are referenced and cross-referenced in a latticework of associations that inspire a whimsical sense of wonder.

Not all of my photos go to Photo Stream, some still go to my Camera Roll. I'm trying to get them on my Photo Stream so they will be on iCloud. With 30 photos on my camera, 10 in stream, I took 6 photos. 2 appeared in stream, 4 did not. Some of my subsequent photos also appeared in the stream, but not all. This is arbitrary behavior by the program. How to fix? Assume ios 7.0.
Any photos that exist in the Camera Roll that didn't come from the device itself had to come from another device. The primary method for getting these pictures into iCloud's 1000 picture buffer is to enroll that other device into iCloud.
You have one case of a picture that was taken either more than 30 days ago or 1000 pictures ago or you deleted your entire Photo Stream and want to start over. In this case, you may need to sync those photos to a computer or another device using the Camera Connecton Kit to inject them into your current Photo Stream.
It's possible the photos you are looking for are in the stream, but just ordered differently than you expected. For example on my iphone I imported some images from mail. Because the pictures had been taken a while ago they were at the top of the stream instead of the bottom, where I expected them to be. The stream orders them by date taken, where as the camera roll orders them by date imported.
From iPhoto or Aperture, copy the photo you want or drag into the Photostream folder on the sidebar
You can go to any picture in your Camera Roll, select it and then copy it by pressing the Home button and the Sleep button. This will make a screenshot of the picture in your Camera Roll and send that up to iCloud.
With iOS 6 you can select photos from your camera roll and share them to a personal photo stream to yourself.

According to post #15 of this Ubuntu Forums thread about Nautilus being slow, turning off global menu speeds Nautilus up significantly. This is certainly true for me, as running Nautilus as root makes it a few times (!) faster (with no gnome-scripts installed, cache cleared, Dropbox turned off).
Now, I like the global menu--but I also want Nautilus to be fast! Is there a way to turn off the global menu only for Nautilus?

I'm not really bothered which is quicker - I'm guessing this is wifi anyway. I just want to know which would allow me to get the most life out of my iPhone 4S when tethering to it with may MBP. Thanks!
Speed is primarily limited by your 3G network connection.
Battery wise, Bluetooth should use less power (especially in the 4S) but the difference may be quite small anyway.
If you tether it with a MBP you may be better of with using the cable between iPhone and computer.
Although Bluetooth might use less instantaneous power, it will be slower and thus leave the radios turned on longer. Having the cellular radio turned on for data tethering will burn the most power by far, especially if you are far from the nearest cell tower.
I am writing this from a taxi cab between Baltimore and DC. Bluetooth connection between iPad and iPhone 4s giving me over 500kb speed up and down. Last hour use took less than 5% of the battery on either device. Wifi uses a lot more.

So, I am kinda confused on this, I've searched a lot, but still I can't find an appropriate answer, The Question is pretty straight forward: Was Noah a prophet? and in-case if he was; was he prophesied in the Bible or Torah? - Thank you..

He was a prophet by the time of Peter and therefore a prophet in the Bible:
2 Peter 2:5 NIV
In the Torah, the word "נָבִיא" is used to describe him.
Was Noah a prophet? Yes
Was he prophesied in the bible or Torah? He was prophesied in the Torah and continued into the Bible.
and by clear definition:
Yes, Noah was a prophet. He was the mediator between God and people. God told him about the flood that was to come. He told the people, but they did not believe. So Noah was definitely a prophet from God Almighty.

Will Greg Walters Win His Fifth Doug Walters Classic?
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Ken O'Neil)
Banks, Oregon- This Saturday August 3rd Greg Walters will look to capture his fifth straight Doug Walters Classic at Sunset Speedway Park. The race is named in honor of Doug Walters who was a major contributor to the sport of Dirt Late Model racing in the Northwest as well as the former promoter of the Banks bullring. The drivers of the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series will tear up the on the tight ¼-mile clay oval for one of the most prestigious races on the West Coast and the evening will conclude with a sixty-seven lap feature which represents Walters' old number.
The Doug Walters Classic event has been sanctioned by the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series except in 2009 when it was a part of the now defunct DIRTcar I-5 Northwest Late Model Tour. Greg Walters has dominated the competition in the four previous Doug Walters Classics but in 2010 he won the event by just over half of a second over the eventual runner-up Jason Wines. Greg Walters looks to get the job done and will enter the evening undoubtedly the sentimental favorite. Walters already has taken home the winner's check four times this year at SSP when the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series has pulled into town.
In 2013 the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series has produced ten action packed rounds of racing at three different race tracks in the Pacific Northwest. Seven of those ten have taken place at Sunset Speedway Park and Walters, as mentioned before, has had fortune smile on him four times this year while "Superman" Collen Winebarger has managed to be victorious on three occasions.
Collen Winebarger enters the weekend with a slim nine point advantage over the two-time series champion Walters. Winebarger, in addition to his three wins at SSP, has one each win at Cottage Grove Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway so far this year to bring his series win total to an impressive sum of five. Walters is situated second in series points followed by Jason Johnson, Brad Martin, and Jacob Myers. Jerry Schram is currently the only other winner with the series in 2013 after picking up the win at Grays Harbor Raceway on June 29th.
The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series has visited the Banks bullring a total of seventeen times since the organization's inception in 2010 with Greg Walters winning the most at ten triumphs. Collen Winebarger has three wins while drivers with just one include Terry Ferrando, Jerry Schram, Russ Sell, and Billy Workman Jr.
On Saturday August 3rd front gates open up at 3:30 PM with racing scheduled to start at 6:00 PM. Admission is Adults $13.00, Seniors/Military $10.00, Children (6-12) $5.00, Children (5 and Under) FREE, and Family Pack (Two Adults and Two Children) $30.00.
The Sunset Speedway Park is located just west of the Portland metro area in Banks on the Sunset Highway. From April until October you can get your racing fix at this facility which competes weekly primarily on Saturday nights. Regular classes in action include the NW Extreme Winged Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, 4-Bee's, NW Extreme Modifieds, and the Womens division.

I generally clip on the Park chain cleaner, fill it with a cheap department store degreaser (Rubbermaid), run it through for a few seconds, then fill the chain cleaner with water once or twice or more to get rid of the degreaser. I've been trying out Purple Extreme lube lately. I'm not getting 100 miles out of an application of Purple Extreme (Conditions have been wet, but not "extreme") . I'm convinced that some of the degreaser stays behind and breaks down the new lube. Could this product contain detergents that stay behind and destroy the new lube? Is this the difference between $10.00 per gallon department store degreaser and $50.00 per gallon "Bicycle" degreaser?

It's certainly possible that degreaser is staying around and breaking down the lube. I use a citrus degreaser (green label but I don't remember the name), and I've never had issues scrubbing it off the chain or cassettes. Also make sure you use a rag to wipe the chain down before you apply the lube.

In my experience, finding a date for a meeting is often hard if all members of the meetings have full schedules. However, one easy approach to find possible date would be to simply compute the intersection of all relevant calendars (in some kind of privatized format and within a potential time window like 8am to 8pm).
I was wondering whether there is a tool or a website that does this. I couln't find anything so far.

It is always good to get out and meet old friends and new, when the sales calendar permits. A great way to combine meeting the public and keeping up Pentaho's increasing momentum in the EMEA region is attending events. This month has seen seven so far; the launch of our EMEA HQ in Sweden, the Ovum Business Intelligence summit in London, our sponsorship of the Hadoop User Group, also in London, as well as dates for the Pentaho Agile BI Tour, which is ongoing for another few months
First and foremost was the launch of our EMEA HQ in a city which has seen its fair share of Open Source innovation – Stockholm. Held in the famous 100 year old Dramaten theatre and co-hosted by Pentaho partner Omicron, an invited audience of around 50 heard from Lars Nordwall, our Swedish-born Senior Vice-President of Sales (pictured left), as well as partners Conduct and BizIntel. A great success in terms of networking, we will follow up with another event towards the end of the year also at the Dramaten, so feel free to let me know if you can make it. You can see all the photos from this event on the Pentaho Facebook Page.
Next up was the high-end Ovum Business Intelligence Symposium, a CIO-level event, which we co-sponsored with our partner Millersoft and saw us introduce a very impressive presentation from Pentaho customer Air Menzies, whose business involves shipping air freight underneath the passengers on scheduled flights. The audience were spellbound with tales of gold-plated Bugatti Veyronnes being transported from the Gulf to London for a summer with their owners and perhaps even more by an excellent iPad demo of Pentaho from satisfied customer Angus Gow (look out for the impressive case study soon).
Finally in a busy few weeks, Pentaho contributed the beer, pizza and (some of the) brainpower to only the fifth UK Hadoop User Group. Pentaho's philosophy, which fosters communities like this, proves the importance of the Community aspect of our Open Source commitment. In this communal atmosphere, it was pleasing to hear so many searching questions from a friendly gathering that included some forward-thinking Pentaho customers. If you deal with Big Data but could not make it along, the chances are our paths will cross soon.

Its social web services initiatives have been patchy at best, so Google hasn't managed to muscle in on Facebook or Twitter like it has with Microsoft and Yahoo.

Patchy is to describe their initiatives as only covering some small parts of what it could be covering.
At best is to imply that the description patchy is perhaps generous.
The writer probably means to say that the quality of Google social web services has been inconsistent, tending to poor.
I doubt they are referring to coverage (another possible interpretation of patchy) since by that measure any service provider, including Facebook and Twitter, would also fall short, making the comparison pointless.
Interestingly, Etymonline has patchy as derived from the second definition of patch below.
And NOAD on the phrase at best (coincidentally using patchy as well):
It's sometimes used in parallel with at worst:

Economic Anxiety Shadows State of the Union
Four times, President Barack Obama has stood in the well of the House of Representatives and delivered a State of the Union address—and four times, economic anxieties have largely overshadowed his efforts to push a broad agenda.
Tuesday night he makes his fifth such address—the State of the Union that will help define his second term. While the economy is improving and the mood in Washington is changing in significant ways, the story line isn't all that different: A broader Obama agenda is fighting to break out, but the economy still hangs over all else.
To be sure, Mr. Obama has more on his mind: Immigration overhaul, gun control and climate change are the topics most discussed since his re-election. The president will say he plans a trip to the Middle East, putting him in the company of Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush, who all tried to crack the code on the Palestinian problem in a second term.
And yet White House officials are signaling that the core of the speech will focus on ways to spur the economy and job creation. Mr. Obama was criticized by Republicans for not making jobs the centerpiece of his second inaugural address last month; it appears he won't leave himself open to that critique this time.
In a sense, the story of Mr. Obama's State of the Union addresses are the story of his presidency thus far in capsule form. To read back over his first four is to be struck by how much the economic crisis that met the Obama administration at the front door has hung over it throughout.
His first inaugural, in 2009, was, as you would expect, laden with prescriptions for addressing the recession ravaging the economy: stimulus spending and bank rescue funds, the beginnings of financial regulatory changes.
In subsequent years, other Obama initiatives were floated—revising the immigration system, corporate and personal tax overhauls, a big push on clean energy, spending on infrastructure, deficit reduction—only to shrink or fade amid economic worries and spending and tax fights that sucked the oxygen out of the room.
The notable exception was the 2009 and 2010 drive to overhaul health care, which came to fruition, at the price of escalated partisan warfare and, most likely, damage for Democrats at the ballot box. Last year, Mr. Obama called for both parties to "lower the temperature in this town," a plea that fell by the wayside on the road to the 2012 presidential election.
Now, Mr. Obama begins the fifth year of his presidency and he will address a nation that still hasn't shaken off the effects—the pain of joblessness, the lingering fears of an economy not quite healthy—of the biggest shock in three-quarters of a century.
Mr. Obama overcame those fears to win a second term, but it was easy to see them bubbling back to the surface in last month's Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Asked what one thing they would tell the president as he begins his second term, respondents' top responses were "create jobs" and "fix the economy."
More telling, when pollsters asked Americans whether the year ahead would be a time of opportunity and expansion for their families, or a time to hold back and save for harder times ahead, 60% said it would be a time to hold back.
Thus, despite a decent run of private-sector job creation, Mr. Obama hasn't yet fully broken the cycle of economic fear that feeds upon itself: Economic worries cause consumers to pull back, business responds by squelching job creation and investment, the resulting dreary jobs picture causes consumers to pull back further.
Another problem is lurking. Washington itself is adding to Americans' economic anxieties. Just over half of those in the Journal/NBC News poll said recent budget negotiations between the president and congressional Republicans left them less confident about economic improvement. In Americans' eyes, political fights aren't merely failing to resolve economic problems, they are making them worse.
Here is one place where the situation may have changed. There is a palpable sense that the capital, though still highly polarized, has grown weary of endless budget wars.
Last week, Rep. Eric Cantor, the second-ranking House Republican, gave an important speech in which he said he wanted to shift attention to "what lies beyond these fiscal debates"—to other areas where, he argued, conservative policies can make life better for average American families.
That speech was an indication that Washington may be ready to move its economic debate to higher ground. Tuesday night, we will see whether Mr. Obama can use his fifth State of the Union to continue the trend.

To the editor:
Recently, Colliers Primary School was named a 2013-14 West Virginia School of Excellence. The PTA, community members and staff worked together to complete the school's application for the award. When the school was notified in April that it was a finalist for the award and that a committee would be coming do an on-site review of the facility in a few days, the school community came together in full force to help with the preparations. Many staff members stayed after school for long hours, and the PTA and community members donated their time and talents to help with beautification of the school and to "de-winterize" the grounds.
However, I would like to take this opportunity to especially thank the five young people who were extremely instrumental in helping Colliers Primary School achieve this prestigious award - Follansbee Middle School students McKenzie Fox, Chloe Fox and Chris Heinen, and Colliers Primary School students Ethan Robey and Bobby Brennan willingly volunteered their time to help prepare for the on-site review. None of them expected anything in return for their kindness and generosity. They helped because it was their school and their community.
I applaud their parents for instilling such unselfish qualities in their children. We are fortunate to have young people such as these in our community. They are role models today for all young adults and will be our leaders of tomorrow.

I want to use the Jetpack Carousel for all my posts without editing all of them. Is there a way to show pictures in the carousel even if they're not in a gallery?
closed as off-topic by s_ha_dum♦ Oct 15 '14 at 22:03
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Adding another better solution: This displays only the first image in a gallery, linked to launch the carousel. You would make that first image, and it's caption, clearly indicate it as a link to a gallery.
Give gallery an HTML ID:
Then add CSS:
Note: .tiled-gallery-item is the class inserted by Jetpack when Settings> Media> Image Gallery Carousel is set to Tiled Galleries.
Here's old original answer, which has some value, and works fine when launching a gallery on another post, but not on same post:
This is tested, but NOT rigorously; seems to work: write the shortcode with the images you want (attachment IDs); put it in post, but don't display it:
Then you can trigger the Carousel w/ a href URL that looks like:
where "111" is the ID of the first image attachment ID you want Carousel to start with.
Afaik, this isn't possible. JetPack doesn't collect all your

I have some problems with my mpi-project.
I try to send some information from one process to another one. To realize this I use the Issend and the Iprobe and Ireceive Operation.
When using the Issend and the Ireceive operation I use the MPI_CHAR datatype because I try to send/receive a serialized object as a std::string. This works for most operations. But when I send a larger string it seems to be that only a part of it is received at the other process. The Iprobe operation set the size of the message correctly. But the receiving string ist not as large as the sending one.
Is there any size-limits at the buffers? Is it possible to change the buffer-size?
I am thankful for all your informations
Greetings Franz Xaver

The 7 Most Bizarre Objects to Ever Fall from the Sky
#3. A Puppy
Remember praying for a puppy when you were a kid? Your parents said no, so you appealed to a higher power in hopes that a dog would somehow miraculously appear, adorable itself into your folks' good graces, and proceed to love you forever? Apparently, this actually happened once.
Via Ksee24.com
"It came from that large blue area up there."
In May 2012, 7-year-old Taylor Callaway and his grandmother were spending some semi-quality time in the backyard of their home in Los Banos, California, when a puppy fell out of the sky. The two caught sight of the animal on its way down, saying that he bounced upon impact before being scooped up by Taylor. Adopting the dog was a foregone conclusion, as the grandmother said, "My thought is that when God drops a puppy from the sky, you keep it."
As it happens, the puppy's appearance was less an act of God and more an act of hawk.
KSWB ABC via Nydailynews.com
From an avian point of view, this is an extremely depressing story.
Just as the pup made his big entrance, his new owners noticed a hawk circling low over the yard, so they surmised that the dog had very narrowly escaped becoming bird food. T.J. Heavenly, as he's now called, had some puncture marks that were likely caused by talons; he was also covered in grease, suggesting that he may have been picked up from the nearby junkyard. Given his current celebrity status, T.J. was taken to the vet and now lives with Taylor and his grandmother ... and their existing assortment of cats, dogs, horses, and pet hawks. Yes, really.
#2. Frozen Human Waste
In 2008, Calgary resident Marian Liknes was minding her own business when she experienced that magical, rare moment when what you thought was a ridiculous urban legend suddenly becomes true. The grandmother of four had just walked into her bedroom to answer the phone when chunks of frozen waste from an airplane lavatory came crashing through her roof. When firefighters responded, they found numerous large pieces of the stuff on the woman's bed, along with scraps of shingles, plywood, drywall, and other bits of her house that the poop took out on its way down.
Via Hals2
Waaaay too happy about holding this.
Liknes was hit by shards of ice, and the falling poop left a foot-wide hole in her roof. Screams were uttered, tears were shed, fingers were pointed, and the Transportation Safety Board was called to sort out the whole shitty mess. Authorities confirmed that the ice was from the bathroom of a passing airplane and that it was comprised of toilet water, antifreeze, disinfectant, human waste, and generous contributions from members of the mile-high club.
While most mid-flight loads don't end up targeting old ladies and partially destroying their homes, "blue ice" isn't completely unheard of. Although planes are prohibited from dumping their restroom tanks on the fly, transitioning from cold air to warm air can cause certain leakage problems. O-ring valves are used to empty the lavatory tanks; when they become incontinent, the seepage can freeze outside the tank and become a shit missile when it finally dislodges.
Take care of business, but understand that you're basically loading a torpedo bay.
Yeah, yeah. You're comforting yourself with statistics, reminding yourself that the odds of being mortared by frozen poo are decidedly in your favor. But hey, the odds were in poor Liknes' favor, too, until all of a sudden they weren't. You've been warned.
#1. A Man
And then, one day, it rained a man. Hallelujah.
In September 2012, residents of London's Mortlake neighborhood woke to find the mangled body of a man crumpled on the sidewalk between a lingerie shop and a place that sold Chinese medical cures. Believing that the man was a murder victim, police began their investigation while parents kept their children indoors and away from the gruesome sight. The unidentified adult male was approximately 5 feet, 4 inches tall and was thought to be between 20 and 30 years old.
Extremely thin.
After inspecting the body more closely, officers came to the shocking realization that the man's injuries weren't caused by another person, but were rather the result of an extremely long fall. Specifically, the part of the fall where he impacted the pavement and became a victim of his own inertia.
But where did he come from? Authorities think he may have fallen out of an airplane headed to nearby Heathrow Airport. The man had no identification, but he was carrying some money from Angola, leading detectives to surmise that he'd stowed away on a plane and fallen out when the landing gear was lowered. Residents of the neighborhood confirmed that planes frequently fly low over the area and that they often see the landing gear appear as planes prepare to land.
Notice how the diagram doesn't say "seat" anywhere?
According to the Civil Aviation Authority, the man probably died long before he fell out of the plane. Not that the alternatives are much better: He was likely crushed when the landing gear was raised after takeoff, or he may have froze during flight, since temperatures in uninsulated parts of the plane can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius.
It really is worth it to just buy a ticket, kids.

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Disease and the Echocardiogram
In this article
What Should I Do to Prepare for a Transesophageal Echocardiogram?
Before a transesophageal echocardiogram, tell your doctor if you have any problems with your esophagus, such as hiatal hernia, swallowing problems, or cancer.
On the day of a transesophageal echocardiogram, do not eat or drink anything for six hours before the test. Take all of your medications at the usual times, as prescribed by your doctor. If you must take medication before the test, take it with a small sip of water.
If you have diabetes and take medication or insulin to manage your blood sugar, please ask your doctor or the testing center for specific guidelines about taking your diabetes medications before the test.
Someone should come with you to your appointment to take you home, as you should not drive until the day after the test. The sedation given during the test causes drowsiness, dizziness, and impairs your judgment, making it unsafe for you to drive or operate machinery.
What Happens During the Transesophageal Echocardiogram?
Before the transesophageal echocardiogram, you will be asked to remove dentures. An intravenous line (IV) will be inserted into a vein in your arm or hand so that medications can be delivered during the test.
A technician will gently rub three small areas on your chest and place electrodes (small, flat, sticky patches) on these areas. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph monitor (ECG or EKG) that charts your heart's electrical activity during the test.
A blood pressure cuff will be placed on your arm to monitor your blood pressure during the test. A small clip, attached to a pulse oximeter, will be placed on your finger to monitor the oxygen level of your blood during the test.
A mild sedative (medicine to help you relax) will be given through your IV. Because of the sedative, you may not be entirely awake for the test.
An ultrasound probe (viewing instrument) will be inserted into your mouth, down your throat, and into your esophagus. This won't affect your breathing. You may be asked to swallow at certain times to help the ultrasound probe pass into your esophagus. This part of the test lasts a few seconds and may be uncomfortable. Once the probe is positioned, pictures of the heart are obtained at various angles. You will not feel this part of the test.

How do I know which notes of a scale may be a Major/Minor chord?
Take this question as an example. The OP states that the C major scale contains the following chords: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim
How do I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
What OP means is that if you use the notes of that scale (no sharps or flats added or removed) and play a third and a fifth on each note you get those chords.
Example on C major scale:
C (first note):
D (second note):
G (fifth note):
A (sixth note):
B (seventh note):
This comes from walking up the scale and taking triplets of notes which are spaced every other note: CEG, DFA, EGB, ...
The majors and minors have a perfect fifth above their root note, for instance the Am chord's A-E interval.
The seventh degree chord, B, is diminished: it has a minor third (B-D) and a diminished fifth (B-F).
You can transpose this pattern into any key.
In the major scale, the first and fourth degrees are major. The fifth degree is dominant (major 3rd but minor 7th). The second, third and sixth degrees are minor, and the seventh degree is a minor with a diminished fifth (also known as minor 7th flat 5 or something like that, I'm not too good with chord names in English).
So for example in the C major scale: C and F are major, G is dominant, D, E and A are minor, and B is the one with the diminished fifth.

It all began with a pair of dress socks at a mutual friend's wedding in Sweden – or, rather, two pairs: one striped, and the other bold pink.
Soon-to-be co-founders Adam Schoenberg and Cory Rosenberg bonded over their shared disgruntlement with men's accessories, so the two set out to do something about it. Their hook + ALBERT brand began with the the idea of making the most luxurious, best-fitting dress sock on the market, but has since expanded to include loafer liners and colored shoelaces, elbow patches, lapel flowers and ties. This gear is for guys who truly appreciate the art of dressing.

I had a Wubi install to try Ubuntu out, and decided that I want to do a proper install. I uninstalled Wubi, downloaded Ubuntu desktop 12.10 (32-bit) and put it on an 8 GB fat32 USB flash drive (following the instructions on the website and using the Linux USB Installer).
I am using a brand-new Lenovo Thinkpad T430i (running Windows 7). I have manually set the boot order so that USB HDD is first. I bring up the boot menu (F12) and select the USB HDD device, and here's what happens: the blue light on the USB stick flashes, then stops, and the computer remains on a black screen indefinitely (I've waited this out for 10 minutes).
I tried doing the same routine, but with the 64-bit version of 12.10, and still no luck.
I've looked through Google/forums for advice, but can't seem to find a resolution for my problem.

No mystery to GOP's failures
Republicans once again failed to bring home the bacon in Connecticut. Campaign analysts are asking why.
This is an easy one. Republicans are outnumbered in the state about 2 to 1, a very steep hill to climb, and considering the historic nature of journalism in Connecticut, they cannot expect a leg up from the state's left-of-center news media. The Hartford Courant's presidential endorsement editorial, for instance, looked as if it had been dictated to the paper's editorial board by David Axelrod, and the paper's endorsement of Democrat Elizabeth Esty over moderate Republican Andrew Roraback was particularly self-serving.

"I've not talked to one person who lives in the area, who is in support of the rezoning," said Bowling Green City Commissioner Brian 'Slim' Nash.
That's what Nash is hearing from those in the area near 603 Old Morgantown Road.
The area which is now an empty home was approved by Planning and Zoning earlier in the year to become a business, but Nash says residents in the area don't want it coming into their neighborhood.
"They are trying their very best. Over a very long period of time they've hung in there to try to maintain the residential character of that particular block, block and a half, two blocks of that area," said Nash.
It is not clear what business would take over the lot, but the Planning and Zoning Commission was not available for comment today.
And the attorney for those who filed for the zoning permit did not return our calls.
Nash said this decision actually goes against the current guideline Planning and Zoning uses the Future Land Use Map.
"It would not fit with the future land use map as it exists today, that is that this particular segment of Old Morgantown road was to remain some mixed use, but primarily residential," said Nash.
Nash said this map officially began being used in September, and while this rezoning was approved after that time it was filed before then.
"Zoning issues tend to make people passionate. Mostly, because you're talking about where they live, and there are few things that probably bring out as much passion as their families and their homes," said Nash.
Tuesday will be the first reading of this issue.
City officials say they have to essentially find something wrong with Planning and Zoning's decision to not ratify it, which opens up the possibility to them having their own hearing on the matter.

THE PARTY Fine artist René Schuler and her husband, Rick Schuler, hosted a party dubbed A Paris Revival on the North Shore at their home after her return from a show at Galerie Beckel Odille Boïcos in Le Marais, Paris, last June. Schuler's work was recently purchased by Ellen DeGeneres in California and is shown at Jennifer Norback Fine Art in Chicago. THE HIGHLIGHTS Guests mingled on the lawn on a perfect late summer evening enjoying Maison Chapoutier French wine from Terlato International Wines in Lake Bluff. In keeping with the French theme, Froggy's French Cafe provided quiche, fine cheeses, fruits and a selection of irresistible pastries.

WEIRTON - Site accessibility needs have three groups working together to get landholder approvals which could create jobs and enhance the Northern Panhandle economy while making their properties more valuable.
The Weirton Redevelopment Authority, Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle and the Weirton Area Port Authority agreed Tuesday to do alignment studies.
"We all have properties now," BDC Executive Director Pat Ford said. "What we need is to increase access to them to increase the value of the properties and increase use of the properties."

Ford said the BDC, which manages the state-owned Three Springs Drive Industrial Park, is interested in carving out a service road to the back side of the property, while WAPA's B.J. DeFelice wants expanded rail access in Half Moon Industrial Park and Redevelopment Authority Chairman Mark Zatezalo wants an industrial road that would route truck traffic away from populated areas in the downtown.
Zatezalo said working together would add weight to their collective efforts, a plus for state and federal decision makers. And after the meeting, he said he was encouraged that they'd found common ground.
"Three entities all on the same page, all with the same interest but they collide," he said, pointing out that in the Redevelopment Authority's case, increased oil and gas traffic makes having an industrial access road that keeps heavy trucks and flammable chemicals away from busy stretches of highway as much a question of safety as convenience.
"If you can take the trucks off the road, it makes (property) more valuable," Zatezalo said, adding, "It's almost an obligatory safety (function) to keep them off the road."
Four months ago the Redevelopment Authority had floated the idea of extending its southern redevelopment district to include the old Weirton Steel rail yards, which, in addition to getting heavy truck traffic out of high traffic areas, also would position Half Moon Industrial Park to take advantage of growth opportunities.
That truck route could take advantage of a road running parallel to the rail line all the way from Freedom Way to Cove Road. To secure the grant money they'd need to upgrade it to the standard needed to use it as a truck route.
However, the authority must first have access to the property, which would require extending the border of the southern development district to include the rail yard and a small area southeast of Harmon Creek. And for that to happen, they'll need permission from the Brooke and Hancock county commissions.
Zatezalo said it's a win-win, since the truck route would benefit business and industry in both Brooke and Hancock counties as well as in Weirton, potentially sparking job and revenue development in all three.
He stressed they are looking only to extend the development district, which requires the county commissions' approval, so that truck traffic can be rerouted.
"We're not looking to take property (away)," Zatezalo said. "But we'd like to include the rail yard and property down to the river in the southern redevelopment district, so when we go to redevelop the (area) it will do nothing but benefit Brooke and Hancock counties."
Board member John Greco described the access road as "one of the keys to starting the redevelopment of the City of Weirton," adding that working with the BDC and WAPA could tip the scales in their favor. "In the past, the left-hand didn't always know what the right hand was doing," he added.
Ford suggested asking Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission Executive Director John Brown to do alignment studies, which he characterized as "schematic plans," for them.
DeFelice, meanwhile, was at the meeting to update authority members on his hopes to secure funding for expanded rail access.
