I'm a software engineer that's been in the field for a little over 10 years now. I started out as a C programmer on "soft" embedded systems (cable set-top boxes FWIW). Since then I have moved to the other side of the client-server system and have been specializing in distributed systems development in C++ & Java. Over the past few years, I've moved from the distributed systems space to a email marketing company where I am part of the team responsible for the Python and Perl code that runs their infrastructure.

Preheat the oven to 425F. Lay the prosciutto on a flat surface with the slices slightly overlapping. Put the fish on top and wrap it in the prosciutto with the ends overlapping. Turn it over and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, then add the wine, and cook over high heat for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, salt lightly and simmer gently for 10 or 15 minutes until thickened.
Pour the sauce into a baking dish large enough to hold the fish. Set the fish on top and roast for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 400F and roast for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and put the fish on a plate. Stir the sour cream and basil into the tomatoes. Set the fish on top and serve.
The original recipe said to simmer the sauce for only 5 minutes, but we found it too watery. I think doing it for 10 or 15 would improve things.
DJTango 4y agoFantastic recipe for Monkfish! The flavors are great, and I also use the sauce with pasta.
mike_ast 4y agoGreat recipe! Sauce compliments the monkfish excellently and easy to make.

Double tree Hilton -Tower of LondonPosted Jul 12, 2016
Pros: The location was convenient being a short walk from Tower Hill tube station and close to tourist attractions. The upstairs bar had a reasonable view.
Cons: TV needs to be included (a computer monitor does not cut it!)
Overall this hotel was disappointing. The room was absolutely tiny and only 1 person could fit in the bathroom. In addition, there was no TV, just a small apple TV screen on the desk -not comfortable when trying to watch TV from the bed. London is obviously expensive, but this did not seem good value for money at all!

Excellent location but dissapointed.Posted Jul 10, 2016
Stayed at the hotel for 1 night to celebrate my birthday. Overall the hotel is clean, smart, has an excellent roof top bar (if ridiculously over-priced) and is in a superb location. However i did have a few issues to share: 1. I booked a Queen Bed and the bed i got was certainly not a Queen, more like a double. 2. The mattress was really poor and ended up with a stiff back the next day. I actually missed being in my own bed. 3. We were given a disabled room when neither of us have a disability and told that the hotel is fully booked so we cant change. 4. The room booking stated "a room with a view". The view we had out of the narrow window was of the the opposite wall and windows of the hotel. 5. I was told that there was free wifi but there's no mention of a wifi code in the room. 6. On arrival my partner was given 1 cookie. She checked in earlier than me but clearly the room booking was for 2 people! Nice thought but at least give 1 per guest! Im not one for complaining and was only there for 1 night so i will stay elsewhere in future.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE OF THE THERMAL DELAY TYPE Filed April 30, 196
INVENT ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,284,597 ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE OF THE THERMAL DELAY TYPE Arthur J. Hollis, Danvers, Mass., assignor to Sylvania Electric Products Inc., a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 30, 1965, Ser. No. 452,047 3 Claims. (Cl. 200-122) This invention relates to electrical control devices and more particularly to those of the thermal delay type.
Most thermal delay relays employing a combination of bimetals with a heater either have a slow make and break or a snap make and break contact action. The slow make and break contact action is generally limited to resistive type loads or it requires the use of a slave relay to handle the load. If the unit is ambient-compensated, it ordinarily becomes quite complicated and expensive. Because of their nature, snap make and break bimetallic devices cannot be ambient-compensated. The control of cycle times is difiicult because a snap bimetallic blade inherently has a temperature differential between snap open and snap closed. This temperature differential also presents a difficult problem with respect to fast cycle times.
In view of the foregoing, one of the principal objects of this invention is to provide an essentially ambientcompensated, self-recycling thermal time delay device with contact ratings to handle the controlled load directly.
Essentially the control device of this invention is an automatic recycling thermal timer with normally closed load contacts. By incorporating a variable resistance, the timing cycle can be adjusted. The bimetal elements are designed to give the load control contacts a good positive make and break action. The bimetal elements also are designed to make the device ambient-compensated throughout a broad range of temperatures. In addition, these bimetal elements can be designed to be an eifective current limiter or circuit protector upon the conditions of either unusual circuit load or faults in the heater circuit. Also, it is possible to adjust the timing cycle to an unusually short period for a thermally actuated device. The device may also have optional time delay adjustment. Further, the bimetal elements of the device may be easily varied to provide a line of current-rated, time delay devices which incorpo rate their own overcurrent protection, thus eliminating the need for a fuse or circuit breaker. As used herein, the term bimetal refers to thermostat metal and is not limited to two metals but may, for example, include three, i.e., trimetal.
In the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a thermal delay device embodying the principles of my invention.
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of the device of FIG. 1 taken along the line 22 thereof.
FIGURES 3 and 4 are schematic diagrams illustrating by way of example two circuits with which the thermal delay device of this invention may be employed.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the thermal delay device is mounted on a base of insulating material. Essentially, the device comprises a primary bimetal member 12, a secondary bimetal member 14 and a heater coil 16. The primary bimetal member 12 is substantially U-shaped with one leg 12a being longer than the other leg 12b. The outside face of the U-shaped primary bimetal member 12 is the high expansion side and the inside face is the low expansion side. The secondary bimetal member 14 is narrower in width than the primary bimetal member 12 and is a flat piece. As seen in FIG. 2, the upper face of the secondary bimetal member 14 is the high expansion side and the lower face is the low expansion side. The secondary bimetal member 14 is welded at one end thereof to the end of the short leg 12b of the primary bimetal member 12, with the low expansion side of the secondary bimetal member 14 engaging the high expansion side of the U-shaped primary bimetal member 12. A movable electrical contact 18 is attached to the other end of the secondary bimetal member 14 on the low expansion side thereof.
The base 10 is provided with a pair of terminal posts 20 and 22. A fixed electrical contact 24 is mounted on top of terminal post 22 and is normally closed with respect to the movable electrical contact 18. The long leg 12a of the primary bimetal member 12 is welded at its end to terminal post 20. Terminal post 20 is connected through base 10 to electrical contact pin 26 and terminal post 22 is similarly connected to a similar pin 28. The ends of the heater coil 16 are connected to contact pins 30 and 32.
The particular arrangement of the bimetal system (members 12, 14 and 16) disclosed in the accompanying drawing and described above is characterized by a high degree of mechanical stability, and more particularly by improved shock resistance. The fact that the heavier cross section of the bimetal is at the fixed end where it is welded to the mounting stud contributes significantly to the attainment of this high degree of mechanical stability. It also assists in the thermal conduction desired in the new system. The heater coil 16 is preferably located on the longer leg 12a of the substantially U- shaped primary bimetal member 12 adjacent to the welded connection of the leg 12a to the terminal post 20. This positions the heater coil so as to give maximum motion to the contacts for the heat energy transfer to the bimetal. It also places this auxiliary heated section, leg 12a of the primary bimetal member 12. close to the relatively massive terminal post 20 which can act both as a heat sink and a heat conducting path to the cooler external wiring. Thus this better segment of the primary bimetal member can be cooled more rapidly to provide a shorter open circuit delay.
The secondary bimetal member 14'is reversed in its mode of deflection as compared with the primary bimetal member 12, such that it moves to apply increasing contact pressure with self 'heating due to passage of current. As noted above in the description of a specific embodiment of the invention, the secondary bimetal member is of substantially smaller cross sectional area than the primary bimetal member. Thus, when both bimetal members are of substantially the same resistivity, the self-heating of the secondary member produces temperatures much hotter than those generated in the primary member when an electrical current is passed through the system. When both members are of substantially the same bimetallic flexivity, then the motion per unit length of the hotter bimetal is greater. This provides initially increasing contact pressure as a current is applied to the unit. As the beater transfers heat to the section of the lower bimetal, this action eventually overtakes the motion of the secondary bimetal and moves to open the contacts. At the instant of opening, the hotter secondary bimetal moves to accelerate the contact opening since it cools rapidly, principally through the beat-conducting path to the cooler or primary bimetal. Thus this secondary bimetal member provides make and break contact acceleration when the resistivities are properly selected for the electrical current values handled to produce the desired self heating temperatures.
The heater coil 16 does not necessarily have to-be a fixed value and may be made to have a controllable variable resistor, which may be thermally remote, to effect variable wattage such that delay times can be adjusted through a range of times. Also, since the bimetal elements are essentially designed to be under low stresses under normal operating conditions, the bimetal can be operated at relatively high temperatures. This is as opposed to a bimetal formed to provide a snap action which inherently contains high forming stresses. Such bimetal forms are limited to much lower temperatures. In addition the bimetal system is inherently partially ambient compensated and thus reduces the stresses on the bimetals caused strictly by the variation in contact pressures as these bimetals react to the broad range of seasonal ambients. This capability of running at comparatively hot temperatures contributes to make possible an essentially ambient insensitive device as well as a rapid cycling device.
The heater coil 16 is preferably of a material having a radically positive temperature coefficient of resistance. Although nichrome wire of the type normally used for electric heaters gives good results, it has been found that even better results may be obtained in applications involving applied voltage variations by using Wilbur B.
. Drivers Balco which exhibits a 100% change in resistance over approximately 150 C. temperature change. Even further improvements may be obtained by having the external or variable resistance made of the same material.
The use of a high positive coefficient of resistance material enables the attainment of a much narrower operational temperature band through the voltage range. Thus,
if the top temperature limit of the heater wire is kept at the desired design level, then the temperature of the lower end of the band can be raised and the resultant is a higher overall average operational temperature. This makes the unit less ambient sensitive as well as less voltage sensitive. By using the same material in the external variable resistance, one obtains essentially an ambient temperature compensation tending to produce a more consistent relay timing. As the ambient drops, the external resistance decreases and allows more wattage to be developed in the internal heater and vice versa. The resultant is a more uniform delay for a given set point on the rheostat throughout the broad ambient range.
Two circuits wit-h which the electrical control device of this invention may be employed are illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 3 and 4. In these schematic diagrams, parts corresponding to those illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and described above are identified with the same reference numbers. In addition, these schematic diagrams 4 include a variable resistor 34, a battery or power source 36 and a switch 38. The circuit of FIG. 3 essentially requires a driven switch 42 related with the load 40 to make the circuit self-recycling. By reconnecting as in FIG. 4, the device will be self-cycling as long as the external switch is closed.
What I claim is:
1. An electrical control device of the thermal delay type comprising:
a pair of terminal posts;
a fixed electrical contact mounted on one of said terminal posts;
a substantially U-shaped primary bimetal member, the legs thereof being of unequal length, the outside face thereof being the high expansion side and the inside face thereof being the low expansion side, the outside face of the free end of the longer leg being secured to the other of said terminal posts;
a substantially flat secondary bimetal member, narrower in width than said primary bimetal member, the upper face thereof being the high expansion side and the lower face thereof being the low expansion side, said secondary bimetal member being afiixed at one end of the lower face thereof to the outside face of the free end of the shorter leg of said primary bimetal member;
a movable electrical contact mounted on the other end of the lower face of said secondary bimetal memher, said movable electrical contact being normally closed with respect to said fixed electrical contact; and a 'heater coil wrapped about the longer leg of said primary bimetal member.
2. The combination of claim 1 in which the heater coil is of a material having a radically positive temperature coefficient of resistance.
3. The combination of claim 2 and a variable resistor connected in series with said heater coil to effect variable wattage such that delay times can be adjusted through a range of times.

Love it ordering another on...putting them on the outside of the house under a covered porch...beautiful!!!
I had been looking for that perfect piece in my guest bathroom. When I found this, I knew right away that it was the one. I am in love with it.. I wish there was a way to post picture so you could see. My bathroom has hints of Rust, I have lots of metallics in my home. I have a beautiful granite countertop that has rusty reds, and tans, and I have brushed nickel faucets, so this all ties in really well.
Empty wall in bathroom colors worked that's where it hangs
Ordered for my newly remodeled bathroom. Exceeded my expectations. Don't hesitate to order It's perfect.
Love the colors. More elegant on the wall. Very easy to hang. Package welled so no blemishes. Would highly recommend.
love them I got two.

The outdoorsy features don't stop with the IP67 certification, making the phone dust- and water-proof up to three feet deep for up to 30 minutes. Samsung has thrown in the "Glove Touch" mode, which lets you operate the display with mittens on, and the "Aqua Mode" in the camera app interface, which helps make better underwater pictures and video. Long-press the volume key up, and the powerful LED light becomes a torch, and that same volume rocker down can be used as a camera shutter key directly from locked mode.+ View Specs

Android 4.2 is pre-loaded, with the usual UI modifications in the form of Samsung's TouchWiz interface. But most importantly, Samsung has chosen to equip the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 3 model with a dual-core Intel processor running at 1.6GHz. This makes the device one of the first Intel-based Android tablets by Samsung, the 8-inch Tab 3 variant being the second of this kind.

Nokia Lumia 925Compare7.8 reviewNokia is taking to the stage today, and announced the Lumia 925, a pretty metal-rimmed Windows Phone 8 device, which was long-rumored under the Catwalk codename. We've got a 4.5" 1280x768 pixels HD AMOLED display with the ClearBlack filter, which Nokia said is its brightest OLED used to date, and can be operated with gloves. The phone is made of polycarbonate, but sports an aluminum side frame, which also serves as the antenna, and the 8.7 MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens, dual LED flash and optical image stabilization, as found on the Lumia 920. Nokia said the camera algorithms have been significantly improved as well, so all that is left now is to gauge what changes are there from the first samples. The wireless charging capabilities from its predecessor are here as well, but via a cover, hence the phone is much, much thinner and lighter than the 920, at 8.5 mm and 139 grams, respectively. There is LTE and HSPA+ 4G connectivity, a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon inside, the typical 1 GB of RAM plus 16 GB of internal memory, and a 2000 mAh battery to back it all up.+ View Specs

The GSA Advantage Web site provides an electronic storefront to the agency's
multiple-award schedules, including the information technology schedule. The site has more than 230,000 customers worldwide and expects to generate
$220 million in schedule sales this fiscal year, according to Al Iagnemmo, director of the E-business Division at GSA's Federal Supply Service.
That business comes from buyers sitting at a Web browser and "banging in an order," Iagnemmo said. But GSA officials plan to enhance GSA Advantage so it can accept electronic orders directly from agencies' e-procurement systems. The goal is to have agencies connect directly to GSA Advantage using software from companies such as Ariba Inc., Commerce One Inc. and Oracle Corp.
GSA Advantage will use Extensible Markup Language and an integration server to establish the linkages. The connections will help agencies approve orders and track purchasing activity through their procurement systems. So far, the departments of State, Labor and Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Agency for International Development have expressed interest in linking to GSA Advantage, Iagnemmo said.

In this paper, we describe a simulation performance of Vehicular Ad hoc network on different traffic models in a dynamic changing environment. The simulation results showed that as delay and jitter increases, the throughput of receiving bits decreases, the nodes stabilizes and the delay tends to drop at interval but packets do drop as the packet size increases.

What is SFLDG?
- 18-40 years old? You may be interested in YLDG (Young Leathermen's Discussion Group).
- Looking for a mentor? Check out the LDG Mentoring Program. The next cycle starts January 2017.
- Want to be notified of upcoming programs? Join our mail list for 2x/month emails, along with a handy list of upcoming kinky events for men in the Bay Area.
- Want to help out or volunteer? Join our volunteer team. We'll send you an email before each program to see if you are available to help.
Founded in 1996, SFLDG has an educational mission with a once-a-month presentation of a kink/fetish/leather/BDSM skill or topical discussion, interview, or panel relevant to kinky guys and their allies. Every month, 60-150 people join us for 2 hours to meet new people, learn, and have fun. Come with a friend, or drop in on your own. With a huge audience of the most interesting folks in the Bay Area, we tend to be the best place to meet and socialize and hang out with other kinksters. You'll be welcome.
Upcoming Programs
BLUF SF's legendary pre-Dore gear dinner at Don Ramon's has generously named LDG the event beneficiary again. BLUF is keeping the sexy spirit of kink and leather alive with monthly events, and this is the grandaddy of them all. Please support BLUF, and help LDG a bit too by coming out to celebrate with us! Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
Shifts are an easy 2 hours, where folks will get naked, and then give us money to keep a secure watch over their clothes for the day.
Sign up for 2 hour shifts to help with the clothes check. This may be the most fun way to experience the fair!
I am struck most notably by the sheer innocence of Tom's work. Yeah, there's fucking. There's fisting, There's cock sucking and rimming, to say nothing of bondage, flogging, and coercion. Pornographic? Absolutely. But innocent? I stand by my assertion.
Except we only rarely refer to it as a dungeon. It's "the playroom," a name far more fitting to the role it fulfills in our lives.
A question about "old leather traditions" and "houses" came up on someone else's FB page and I wrote this advice: There are no "old leather traditions." There are behaviors that individuals and small, isolated groups developed...
A few years ago, your consensual kinks—being spanked, fetishizing feet, the desire to be tied up while having sex, and anything else your perverted little mind can come up with—could have cost you everything...
What questions would you like to hear at our January 2015 Program ARE LEATHER TITLES NECESSARY?

Just a fun question for another day in the short life of TSLA, although it is getting a bit long in the tooth of ten years... So what's been the most memorable thing TSLA / Eloon has done or said. Would it be the "one week cash flow positive"? The tele-transport Star-trek system between here and there? The retiring to Mars? The 17" tablet cased in wheels? The fly me to the problem Service Rangers? There must be some wonderful stories we can tell our grandchildren. Let's hear your candidates.
"a holistic approach to vehicle architecture,"
Okay. Maybe not a winner but it deserves honorable mention.
'Faster than a Aston Martin Rapide'
I'm kinda of torn between:
"They can't make an electric car with range." and "Nobody would want one." and "5 cars/week, big deal"
How about 'Mars is for vegetarians only' ?
Imagine the travel brochure - for anly $500,000 you can get a one way ticket to Mars and eat salad every day for the rest of your life. And ther media reports it all with a straight face.
((( said at an event at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London that he will only allow vegetarians to live in his settlement, a city for 80,000 space explorers that he first spoke of back in November. ))
When he stated Romney had the object but not the subject right! Baaaammm
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"one week cash flow positive" will live in shill speak hall of fame.

San Francisco's Chinese Christian Union and some of their neighbors have teamed up in a lawsuit against the city over the construction on an open air urinal, known as a pissoir, in a public park, which they say is discriminatory, offensive and a public health hazard.
The Pacific Justice Institute, a legal defense organization specializing in the defense of religious freedom, parental rights, and other civil liberties, filed the lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiffs in San Francisco's Superior Court last Thursday, challenging the city's use of public funds to encourage public urination. The San Francisco Chinese Christian Union is a religious nonprofit that does business in the city and County of San Francisco and represents 15 member churches, according to the lawsuit.
"PJI first reported on Feb. 4 that San Francisco had constructed a semi-circular structure, known as a pissoir, at the corner of Dolores Park. The wall is about 4 feet high and is completely open at the back, with no roof or doors. Men using the hole in the ground are visible to children playing in the park, passersby on the adjacent street, sidewalk and light rail, and to residents overlooking the park," they explained in a statement shared with The Christian Post. more >>
A Missouri congregation denied funds from a secular aid program centered on improving playgrounds is taking its case before the United States Supreme Court.
Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia is suing the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for not allowing them to be able to take part in an aid program meant to improve the safety of playgrounds.
The conservative legal group the Alliance Defending Freedom filed its opening brief before the highest court in the land last week on behalf of Trinity Lutheran. more >>
A recently released poll found that a majority of Americans believe the federal government's treatment of the Little Sisters of the Poor is "unfair."
In a Marist Poll conducted for the Knights of Columbus, 53 percent of adults surveyed said that the birth control mandate accommodation given to the nuns was "unfair," versus 32 percent who found it "fair."
The results also found a strong political divide among respondents. While 63 percent of Republicans found the accommodation unfair to the nuns, only 44 percent of Democrats agreed. more >>
Pope Francis has warned that as Christians face severe persecution in countries where they are a minority, others are encountering what he calls "polite" persecution disguised as "culture, modernity and progress," where people see their rights to conscientious objection taken away.
The Roman Catholic Church leader said during mass on Tuesday that so called polite persecution does not occur over "confessing Christ's name, but for wanting to have and manifesting the values of the son of God."
"We see every day that the powerful make laws that force them to go on this path, and a nation that does not follow these modern, cultured laws, or at least does not have them in their legislation, are accused (and) are politely persecuted," he added, according to Catholic News Service. more >>
The Illinois megachurch campus of Willow Creek Community Church is one step closer to opening at an approximately 193,000 square foot site for its growing congregation.
Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 on Wednesday in favor of allowing Willow Creek Community Church to open a new campus at a former Oak Industries site.
Marcus Bieschke, lead pastor for the Crystal Lake campus, told The Christian Post that he and his congregation were "grateful" for the result of the vote. more >>
Nine federal agencies published a final rule aimed at protecting the religious liberty of faith-based organizations and the people they serve.
The new regulations from the rule, jointly published in the Federal Register by the departments of Education, Homeland Security, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Labor, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, will also add new protections that would allow religious providers of social services to compete on equal footing with private providers for government funds.

Not only is the book gripping while you are reading it but it stays with you afterwards - I can't stop thinking about it.
The Pact is the story of two teenagers who grow up next door to one another from birth, their parents are the best of friends and have always expected that their children's friendship will blossom into love which it does.
The book jumps from both Chris and Emily's perspective as well as both sets of parents - it deals with a suicide pact gone wrong and the aftermath (as well as what has lead up to the central moment). If anyone has ever learned devastating news or lost a loved one then they know what it can do to a person as well as a family and I thought that The Pact was unbelievably realistic.
This was one of the most moving, touching and important books I have read - it certainly leaves you thinking about it and your own life as well as the lives of those around you.
Read this one but make sure to keep a box of tissues and a loved one near by (for a hug if you need one).
The Hartes and the Golds live next to each other, eat together, gather in each others homes and go on vacation together. Somewhere along the way, and much to the parents happiness, Chris and Emily end up dating each other. Soon after, as witnessed in Emily's thoughts and journals, it becomes apparent that she herself is not happy with this; that something in her life and heart is troubled beyond even Chris's presence. The mystery surrounding the night of her death continues for the whole length of the novel, and every turn is shrouded in secrets, lies, and ultimately, the truth.
I devoured this book in a few sittings. Picoult does a wonderful job in getting us to know the two families; both sets of parents are equally interesting and sympathetic, and the story would not have worked as well if they weren't. The reader never really knows what happened that fateful night between Emily and Chris until the very end, and it keeps you going to find out. This is a well-written, intriguing novel, and I can't wait to read more of her works.
Jodi Picoult's powerful story will leave the reader reeling from the overwhelming emotions conveyed. Ms. Picoult demonstrates a solid grasp of her subject matter as her characters struggle with the notion of Emily's suicide versus Chris being her murderer. THE PACT: A LOVE STORY is thought provoking, albeit painful at times.
Jodi Picoult deftly interweaves the past and present in this poignant family drama. Suicide is an extremely sensitive subject and this topic may disturb some readers. Ms. Picoult handles the topic exceptionally well, however, remaining sensitive to all of the issues and parties involved in THE PACT: A LOVE STORY.
THE PACT: A LOVE STORY is not an easy read, but it is a book well worth reading more for the questions Ms. Picoult asks than for any real answers. As the story unfolds, readers will find themselves completely immersed into this deeply moving and heart wrenching tale. THE PACT: A LOVE STORY is a very realistic portrayal of the aftermath of a suicide, particularly one under such questionable circumstances, and as such will be both loved and hated at the same time. Kudos to Ms. Picoult for daring to venture into this territory and for being so compassionate in the process.

Names would be fun... my moneys' on Torres,, Renfro, Sanchez (and Montgomery as a write-in for cheerleader, I suspect she's too wiley to actually participate herself)....what do you think ?
The cops probably don't matter, they're just the flunkeys, anyway the new sheriff in town says he won't stand for it in his department and has even banned the use of the words "CAVE PEOPLE"...bravo chief Gallagher !
FBI already involved...again....can you say "Let the Long Hot Summer Begin" ?
Time for a recall petition...I for one, refuse to be represented/ruled by these people.

Norwich Hospital land-use deal terminated
Residents of Preston, Conn., have overwhelmingly endorsed their selectmens move to terminate a $1.6-billion deal with developers of a proposed entertainment complex on the state-owned former Norwich Hospital property. Residents voted 1,103 to 73 Tuesday in a nonbinding referendum in favor of severing the agreement with Utopia Studios and finding a new developer. For nearly three years, Utopia developers have pitched a massive theme park that included movie studios, hotels and an arts school on the vacant 500-acre campus. Developers said the project would lower taxes and create 22,000 jobs. Preston selectmen terminated a development deal in November after they said Utopia failed to meet numerous deadlines, particularly for a payment of more than $56 million. But the developers insisted that townspeople wanted Utopia to develop the property despite being booted by the selectmen.

Narnian you continue to be a quick study ...attack and deflect is like, the prime directive and it's beginning to seem so second nature to you. Is Yikes a personal tutor or just a hero.
Not that it matters (especially considering your disdain for the "Toomey and Audette rules of law") but expressing an opinion about a threat made by or on behalf of public officials being investigated for corruption isn't libel.
Or are you and yours those public officials. If that's true and I were you, I'd be attacking and deflecting like crazy, given the continuing heat on this stove. Come to think of it, that's exactly what you do!
But back to the subject...."Run em out of town"....
Do we have a plan yet, a methodology.
We've heard "bodies in the desert" before (maybe too many for that, mass killings are probably best concealed in war zones), we've had beatings already (kept them out of the papers but there is that troublesome new radio station to consider and more people seem to be listening).
No, what we need here is something we can legal up. Maybe put the city attorney on that. No wait, he was being considered for Scapegoat wasn't he, second thought, we can hold that over him, the Scapegoat thing, I mean, if he were to get any funny ideas.
Task 1... have the Scapegoat find us what methods of nice legal looking Police Oppression might be available.
Task 2... identify a backup contingency, something the commission could do itself and really look legal, like a new ordinance or rule or something we could hammer them with, again the Scapegoat could best advise us with that.......or do we really keep trusting his opinions, you know, given the track record and all. Plus, the Police Power thing sounds more satisfying... but that would be on his advice too.
What to do....what to do.....

Hi Deb!
No I would never wish harm on you or Kim or Brad or Bill.
Violence doesn't solve problems and even if it did I certainly would NOT condone it.
You see, that's weak.
It's what cowards do.
At the same time I would like to see a quorum with you all and the Commission. Because I think suing due to the fact that 'I didn't get my way' is weak as well.
Again, that's what cowards do.

narnian, where've ya been....
All of this has been covered.
Violence- threatened, then given, now more threatened.
Meeting of the minds with commission- been tried ad nauseum,
comm response always the same: CAVE PEOPLE, troublemakers, activists, citizens in general: STFUP... or we'll punish you.
No cowards here, maybe not perfect human beings, but heroes are what I see. People with the courage to stand up . and remain standing .for what they believe is right in the face of overwhelming opposition and apathy. You should be thankful that they're here and unbelievably are still here doing what no one else in this poor, confused little town seems capable of.
The cowards are on the side of the aisle you're defending, your words-
"Violence doesn't solve problems and even if it did I certainly would NOT condone it. You see, that's weak. It's what cowards do."
Do you get it now.

I'm the one who typed it, of course I get it.
Here's what I see. I'm not attached to either group.
I see 2 sides that are so stubborn they won't give on any issue. Both so convinced they are right (and no one in my experience is ever completely in the right) that compromise is out of the question.
So where does that leave us? All of us.
From where I sit with my limited education it's a stalemate.
It would be a lot cooler if everyone sat down and came up with a solution that (while maybe not everything people want) is acceptable to both sides.
You're wrong if you think I'm all for hushing voices of dissent. I'm not.
I just think some things need to be worth fighting for.

#13 Jun 6, 2010
Narnian No, you're not getting it.
This town is owned and run by the famous "good ole boys and gals". If you don't know who they are just re read this forum, they're all there. You've no doubt bumped into some on your daily rounds e.g. when buying a car, placing a newspaper ad, doing some banking, buying a house and on and on. Re read this forum and discover the cozy, privileged, conflict of interest relationships between these people and local government, you know, the entity that sets, collects and spends your taxes and utility payments.
What you're not getting is that these folks routinely enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us. How do they do that you say ? Same deal, just re read this forum. Bear in mind tho that some damning posts have mysteriously disappeared (altho they were safely preserved by others before their disappearance). There's still plenty here tho, fear not.
Most have been doing this a long time and you'd better believe they have no intention of "sitting down and coming up with any solution acceptable to both sides".
These folks don't play by any rules you or I expect them to, not state law, not federal law, hell not even their own local law. They play by their own rules. They do as they damn well please secure in the knowledge that most people here won't even notice or care or if they do they know their place and are too afraid of retaliation to say anything.
Now are you starting to get it?
Do you see anything worth fighting for? If you do, know that these people being branded as "troublemakers" are the ones, the only ones so far, doing the fighting and they're doing it not just for themselves but for the rest of us as well.
Maybe we should be grateful .maybe we should be helpful.

ie: listen to gossip on this forum. Some person, for example Deb calling herself new view, started this thread with a bit of gossip and you, Narnian, are supposed to suddenly be informed about corrupt police. Same scenario on many threads. Some person, for example Deb or Kim, tosses out a bit of gossip. Now grab hold of it and nevermind what the courts say. Your role is to do what new view says and "read the forum until you get it cuz it's all been covered here."

Today's Lesson
from our chapter on the Plague of the Pillagers
Use of the "Gossip" Label-
listen2bittys' post of the other day serves as a good example of the Second Rule- "Discredit the Troublemaker" .
When the Prime Directive- "Attack & Deflect" won't quite do, you may always counter with "Discredit". Doesn't matter if it's true or not as most people won't question it at all and once applied the damage is done and with any luck irreversible.
One good way to "discredit" someone is with the label "gossip". Notice how easy it is to use and its' all encompassing nature .simply make the accusation of "gossiping" and everything the troublesome person has said is null and void (or better still, maybe assumed to be outright lies strikes a deeper, darker chord doesn't it). and as they say Voila !
I often wonder where, at what school, one learns all these dirty tricks. Then it dawned on me..... while remembering some of our local lineages... at bad dads' or mean moms' knee....the T or C version of homeschooling.
Lesson Conclusion-
In the ongoing effort to rid ourselves of this Plague of the Pillagers we must remain vigilant and careful not to be easily fooled by scurrilous attempts to discredit someone by claiming their statements are just gossip.
Question everything, assume nothing.
Often it's an easy trap to assume our chosen leaders have only our best interests at heart and certainly wouldn't be dishonest or sneaky with us.
It's usually best to listen not to what they say, but rather to watch what they do and to not forget that what they do often involves not theirs' but our money.
For example, they say they are going to finally pave the streets that sounds GOOD .hooray ! But what they intend to DO is borrow close to $2 million bucks with a payback lasting 20 years in order to "chip seal" some, not all, of the streets and that "chip seal" is said to last only what maybe 5 years? Borrow & pay back with interest for 20 years to get something that might last 5 years .sound like a good deal ? .our money.
There is an alternative, buy hotmix streets, yes you get less streets but they last a whole lot longer. But just try suggesting that to the leaders and while you're at it, ask them which method looks the juiciest to the local contractor who provides the materials ..by the way I hear that one of them might have some "inside" information in that department.
But I digress.
Maybe a good topic for a future Lesson.
#16 Jun 8, 2010
Past Lesson: correct usage of lie, lay, laid and lain.
Today's lesson: proper use of the apostrophe. For example, "today's lesson" uses "apostrophe s" to imply the lesson belongs to today.
New View's(old 2me's)incorrect usage of the apostrophe, especially when using a plural personal pronoun (theirs') is atrocious.
Listen2bitty is a "person". The apostrophe is used BEFORE the "s" making it possessive. New View (old 2me) should have written it like this: Listen2bitty's.
Post #15 has no fewer than five incorrectly used words showing possession.
Here's tonight's homework. Write the correct usage showing possession for the following:
Mr. Jones
Each question is worth 20 points (hint: one answer is given in the narrative description about apostrophe usage). Try it - can't be any poorer than New View's (old 2me's) writing above.

Deb and Kim, you discredited yourselves.
Teacher: Alex's, Mr. Jones', men's, lady's, listen2bitty's
If those are correct, I'll look to the sky for a star.
Looking up is an option once one comes out of the cave.

This thread has a great title but is getting way too pedantic. The Deflect and Discredit tactics have degenerated into Deadly Boredom. How Dastardly of the few who constantly post in order to achieve status as King of the Hill.

listen2bitty has earned a gold star! All answers were correct.
New View, it's back to school for you. Your above post has again showed disdain for the Queen's English. If your "view" is "new" and worth teaching, then it behooves you to write your lesson plan correctly. Otherwise, your credibility suffers (as it already has).

Not sure if this is the right forum, but because my last LDD ship topic was moved from Town to here, I guess this is the right one. Anyway, the HMS Executor was built from 1936 - 1940 for the LEGO Imperial Navy. She was built with 24 boilers and 3 steam turbines to a max speed of 27 Knots. With a maximum crew of 2,800, and 4 turrets with two guns each, this ship was able to help end World War 2. Surviving the war, the Executor was used in several smaller confrontations, until being sold of in 1999 to the city of Ironwood with the condtion Executor be always ready for active service in case of war. She remains ready to this day, moored in the Ironwood harbor.
Okay, onto the pictures!
