The Open Records FightMonday, July 25th, 2016
July 25, 2016
There was an interesting editorial in the Commercial Appeal last Sunday concerning Germantown open records and the battle with Jon Thompson and Sarah Wilkerson-Freeman in order to get information on Germantown government salary, insurance and other perks. Congratulations to Thompson and Freeman. I have been fighting this open records battle since 2004.
Recently I asked the MLGW for current electronic copies of their annual pension and OPEB reports. I asked by email. I received an electronic copy of an open records request form which I filled out and signed electronically and sent it in. I then received the following message.
"Good afternoon, your documents are available for pickup. You can come to the Administration building and the documents will be at the security station." I then objected to this bureaucratic requirement and sent my objections to Mr. Thompson (MLGW), Mayor Strickland and many others. I eventually got the electronic copies that I asked for and you can now look at the MLGW pension report and the MLGW OPEB report at www.memphisshelbyinform.com.
Now the Tennessee Open Records law does not require furnishing electronic copies but governments with a fully open records policy will furnish the information in electronic format because it is cheaper and easier and nearly all data is already in electronic format. If they want to discourage open records requests they will require you to travel down to their office and pick it up at the security desk.
I like the MLGW and their utility services. Very professional. President Jerry Collins is a great manager and runs a well trained and effective company. I call on the MLGW to put this information (pensions and OPEB) on their website and keep it updated. I also ask them to publish a return on investment report for their smart meter program to show the public how this program will be paid for and the return on the rate payers' investment.
Now as to the pension and OPEB reports. Shelby County published their annual pension and OPEB reports online. The City of Memphis and MLGW do not.
The MLGW pension fund has a net value of $1.32 billion and $118 million of unfunded liability.
The City of Memphis pension fund has a net value of $2 billion and $533 million of unfunded liability. The City of Memphis does not publish their annual pension report online.
The Shelby County pension fund has a net value of $1.1 billion and $316 million of unfunded liability.
The MLGW OPEB fund has a net value of $333 million and $461 million of unfunded liability.
The City of Memphis OPEB fund has a net value of $17 million and $730 million of unfunded liability. The City of Memphis does not publish their annual OPEB report online.
The Shelby County OPEB fund has a net value of $197 million and $101 million of unfunded liability.
The trouble spots are shown underlined above. Again Shelby County leads in local government in open records policy and fiscal responsibility. I urge you to let local governments know what information you think should be put on their website. What are your thoughts on transparency in government?
Lack of Transparency On Local ContractsTuesday, July 19th, 2016

Lack of Transparency On Local Contracts
I have been investigating the barriers companies have to jump over in order to do business with local governments. As an advocate of open records and transparency, I measure the contract information transparency available to the public (taxpayers are the financiers of government purchases). Therefore let us look at what we (the taxpayers) get to know about government purchases and the cost of trying to direct a percentage of government business to minority, women (MWSBE minority, women small business enterprises) or locally owned small businesses (LOSB).
I was told recently that the County Commission passed a charter amendment a few years back (city also) that any contract over $100k requires 20% minority participation. Bidders include that in their pricing of the project.
I checked to verify the information and was told that the information was not exactly correct. The Locally Owned Small Business (LOSB) ordinance was passed by the County in 2007 and established a target of 20% of all purchases to be awarded to LOSB's. There is a bidding advantage for LOSB's of 5% for contracts up to $500,000; 3.5% for contracts up to $750,000; 2.5% for contracts up to $1,000,000 and 2% for contracts over $1,000,000. For large construction projects the county normally establishes a LOSB percentage requirement. According to the source, the County has met the LOSB target each year.
The City of Memphis has the following statement.
WHEREAS, the City of Memphis desires to be proactive in ensuring that economic opportunities in the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) are equally available to all individuals or businesses, including minority and women-owned businesses, regardless of race, gender or ethnicity.
Certified AABE (African American black enterprise), HBE (Hispanic American business enterprise), ABE Asian American Business Enterprise, NABE (Native American Business Enterprise), or WBE (Women business enterprise) shall mean an AABE, HBE, ABE, NABE or WBE which has been certified by a City approved central certification agency and approved by the Office of Contract Compliance (OCC).
The initial annual MWBE goals shall be:
- a. Goals for Subcontracting Construction:
- (16 %) – Minority
- (3 %) – Women
- (19 %) – Total goal
- b. Goals for Prime Construction:
- (15 %) – Minority
- (3 %) – Women
- (18 %) – Total goal
- c. Goals for Architecture & Engineering Services:
- (22 %) – Minority
- (7 %) – Women
- (29 %) – Total goal
- d. Goals for Goods and Supplies:
- (12 %) – Minority
- (1 %) – Women
- (13 %) – Total goal
- e. Goals for Non-Professional Services:
- (23 %) – Minority
- (2 %) – Women
- (25 %) – Total goal
- f. Goals for Professional Services:
- (13 %) – Minority
- (2 %) – Women
- (15 %) – Total goal
The annual goals provided above shall be reviewed annually by the EBO advisory committee. These overall MWBE participation goals are only intended to be benchmarks evaluating the overall performance of the EBO program on an annual basis. These participation goals are not and, shall not be quotas for purposes of determining or satisfying annual participation goals.
I have tried to find the actual results of this program but I cannot find anything online. It may be there but I cannot find it. I will ask the City of Memphis in an open records request. What I want for the public to know is the results of the City and County small business and minority programs. What are the percentages and what did it cost over and above lowest and best bid for the work? We, the taxpaying public, deserve to know.
How The West Got RichMonday, May 23rd, 2016
How The West Got Rich
May 23, 2016
There was a fascinating article in last Saturday's Wall Street Journal. I want to point it out because it will be at the heart of our upcoming 2016 presidential election. We hear the talking heads speaking about gender-less bathrooms, free stuff for everyone, income disparity, redistribution of income, taxes, the benefits of socialism, bullying and lots of other issues.
The number one issue in survey after survey is the economy and this is what this article is all about. Look and read some of the facts.
Two centuries ago, the average world income per human (in present-day prices) was about $3 a day. It had been so since we lived in caves. Now it is $33 a day—which is Brazil's current level and the level of the U.S. in 1940. Over the past 200 years, the average real income per person—including even such present-day tragedies as Chad and North Korea—has grown by a factor of 10. It is stunning. In countries that adopted trade and economic betterment wholeheartedly, like Japan, Sweden and the U.S., it is more like a factor of 30—even more stunning.
Now we have people calling for a change to our system in order to make it more like Cuba, Venezuela and a long list of countries run by top down federal bureaucracies.
Here is the explanation of how our society got these wonderful improvements. What enriched the modern world wasn't capital stolen from workers or capital virtuously saved, nor was it institutions for routinely accumulating it. Capital and the rule of law were necessary, of course, but so were a hard working labor force and liquid water and the arrow of time.
The capital became productive because of ideas for betterment—ideas enacted by a country carpenter or a boy telegrapher or a teenage Seattle computer whiz. As Matt Ridley put it in his book "The Rational Optimist" (2010), what happened over the past two centuries is that "ideas started having sex." The idea of a railroad was a coupling of high-pressure steam engines with cars running on coal-mining rails. The idea for a lawn mower coupled a miniature gasoline engine with a miniature mechanical reaper. And so on, through every imaginable sort of invention. The coupling of ideas in the heads of the common people yielded an explosion of betterments.
The other day I heard a report about our current Vice President, Joe Biden, wondering what he would do after the upcoming election. He has never had a private sector job working for a "for profit" company in his life. Neither has Barack Obama or most of the Washington DC politicians and bureaucrats. Let us get back to returning government to the people with important decisions made at the state and level local, empower local thinkers and entrepreneurs, and reduce the size of the DC bureaucracy. Do you believe in the benefits of legal and fair capitalism or do you want a radical change in our system?
Bureaucracy Is Alive And WellThursday, May 12th, 2016

Bureaucracy Is Alive And Well
Bureaucracy exists not only in Washington DC where it thrives and continues to grow, but right here locally in Shelby County Tennessee. Here is an example.
A number of years ago I filed up to six lawsuits (pro se, for myself) in Chancery Court. When faced with a recalcitrant government agency that refused to comply with our Tennessee Open Records laws I would troop down to Chancery Court with lawsuit papers in hand and plunk down $211.50 CASH money and file the suit. Sometime later when the lawsuit papers were delivered to the Respondent I would sometimes get the requested access action. Other times I would have to wait for the respondent to show up (or not show up) in court. I remember one time waiting in Judge Golden's chancery court for an attorney from the old Memphis School System to show up. They failed to show up and when I spoke to the court I requested my $211.50 back and an additional $1000 for, my time and expenses. Judge Golden gave me the right for the $211.50 but refused the $1000. The reason for the refusal was that I was not a lawyer and had filed pro se. I guess the legal fraternity sticks together. The judge is a great guy and later when we meet at a gathering, we laughed about the incident.
However apparently I failed to receive back one of the $211.50 fees and I received the attached letter from Chancery Court. I went downtown to Chancery Court and filled out the requested form. The young lady that helped me said that I would be notified when the check was available to be picked up. I requested that the check be mailed and she said that their policy was that checks could only be mailed to out of town people but that I would have to pick up the check in person since I lived in Memphis. "NO MAILING LOCALLY WAS NOT PERMISSIBLE!". I offered to pay for mailing but that was refused. 17 MILES DOWNTOWN, PARKING FEE, GO THROUGH SECURITY, PICK UP CHECK, 17 MILES BACK HOME. Bureaucracy at work right here in River City.
They said that I would be notified when the check was available. When I received no notice I emailed the Court but still got no answer. The next time I was downtown I went to the Court and sure enough I got the check. I hurried and deposited it as soon as possible.
Now the thing that really galled me was my knowledge that this was the same Court that suffered a $1 million loss beginning in 2008 and ending with a conviction in 2012. So much for the vigilance of bureaucracy!
How We Could Have Saved $1 Million DollarsMonday, May 9th, 2016

How We Could Have Saved $1 Million Dollars
I have been following the stories about the Memphis Health Education and Housing Facility Board. The story began with the low income properties owned and operated by Global Ministries. Residents complained about bedbugs, rodents and improperly maintained appliances.
I began investigating all the various boards and commissions operated under the City of Memphis and Shelby County governments. I found that there were two Health Education and Housing Facility Boards (HEHFB), one run by the Memphis and one by Shelby County. As usual, the one run by the County was better, more open to records access and less controversial. The outstanding difference was a provision of the county board statement of policies and procedures that restricted the amount of cost paid to the Board Counsel. On just 5 bonds issued by the Memphis HEHFB this difference amounted to $59,000. The Memphis HEHFB says that they have issued over 85 bonds. This overpayment to the Board Counsel could be as much as $1 million dollars at the average of the 5 bonds reviewed.
At the most recent Memphis board meeting I asked the board some questions and made some public recommendations concerning open records, ethics and conflict of interest. Here are my points.
- Board agendas should be posted online at their website on the same day they are posted in the Daily News.
- All supporting information given to board members along with their agendas should be posted online at the website along with the agenda.
- Minutes of the meeting should be posted on the website not later than 1 week after the meeting.
- Bond costs and parties to the expenses should be posted on the website when sent to the state as required by law. (Report of debt obligation)
- Adopt the same or similar ordinance as the County limiting board counsel fees.
- Adopt a strong ethics ordinance regarding conflict of interest and post online.
- When a member of the board has a subsequent financial involvement in a board bond or property transaction, that member should make a public acknowledge of that involvement on the board website.
I call on the City Council to demand these changes and I ask all citizens and taxpayers to contact the Mayor and their council members to act on this matter. If you have a further suggestion, I ask you to contact Joe Saino at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Brilliant At The BasicsMonday, April 25th, 2016

Brilliant At The Basics
Our new Mayor has come out with his proposed 2017 City budget. I have not had a chance to study it closely yet but I will in the next few weeks. However a recent open records request confirmed what I suspected was happening.
Read the CA article of April 7, 2015. In a CA article (April 7, 2015) our present Mayor Strickland questioned the possibility of Sammons doubling his City pension. In my recent open records request to the City of Memphis I asked for current pension payments to retired City of Memphis employees. I wanted to compare the current pensions to past pensions. Sure enough there was Jack Sammons receiving an annual pension of $68,457.36, up from his previous pension of $34,960.56. Doubled!!!
How has this happened? Apparently there is a provision in the City of Memphis pension ordinance that allows the pension to be recalculated based on the highest 12 month salary overturning any fiscally responsible actuarial calculations. This is a public employee scam that needs to be corrected. Here is what is done at the County government. Plan A and Plan C both compute pensions based on the employee's highest 36 consecutive months of earnings. The new Plan D computes pensions based on the highest 60 consecutive months of earnings. Plan D was effective July 1, 2011 and has proven to be a less costly plan because of the earnings calculation plus the lower years of service multiplier and the retirement age requirement.
Then there is he abuse of the City of Memphis pension board of LINE OF DUTY DISABILITY. This is costing the City up to $14 million per year. The rate of line of duty disability approval at the City is ten time higher per active employee than the MLGW and Shelby County Government. These built in actuarially unsound pension provisions need to be changed as part of the Brilliant Basics.
Further Info On The Memphis HEHFB ControversyWednesday, April 13th, 2016

Further Info On The Memphis HEHFB Controversy
I recently reported on the two Health Education & Housing Facility Boards, one from the City of Memphis and one from Shelby County. One is apparently well run and the other has had its' authority temporarily suspended by the Tennessee Housing and Development Agency because of problem with properties run by Global Ministries.
I have attended two meeting of the Memphis board. The first one was not a regular monthly board meeting, but a reading of a proposed bond issue by Charles Carpenter, the board attorney. After the formal reading, I asked a few questions concerning transparency and open records and did not get a lot of information.
The second meeting, which was a regular monthly meeting, was attended by Channel 3, the Commercial Appeal, several business interests and myself. The only person, other than the business interests, to ask questions was myself. Before the start of the meeting, I asked the secretary for an agenda and she refused to give me one until the actual meeting started. At the end of the meeting I asked why the agendas and all attachments were not published at least two days before the meetings and I received no answer. I asked about the difference between the County ordinance that limits the amount that the Board Counsel can make. Mr. Carpenter said that he was not aware of the County ordinance. I pointed out that for just five Memphis bonds, the overpayment for the Memphis board Counsel was $59,000. Then I asked about a possible conflict of interest on the bonds for the Uptown Manor Senior Project by a board member and they said that they would have to consult the minutes of that meeting to see if the member recused herself. I asked for the minutes but received no reply. After the regular public meeting, they had an executive meeting and I asked if I could attend. They said that it was a closed meeting and the public was not able to attend.
Then several days later I, in fact, received the minutes from the two past board meetings concerning possible conflict of interests. I have attached those minutes and they are interesting.
Minutes of Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Lee Patton and Monice Moore-Hagler recused themselves from the Inducement Resolution for the Uptown Manor Senior motion. Under Discussion Items, John Baker brought to the Board's attention for further consideration a revised short term bond fee structure. Under New Business, Nancy Willis brought to attention a request for an annual ethics statement to be signed by members of the board and provided an example copy for the Council's review.
Minutes of Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Under action items, Dan Reid recused himself from consideration of inducement bond resolution for Global Ministries Foundation Bent Tree Apartments. Renasant Bank was to provide a private placement loan for the property.
Then Dan Reid re-entered the meeting and Monice Moore-Hagler and Lee Patton recused themselves before consideration of final bond resolution for Uptown Manor Senior Development LLC. Mr. Carpenter recommended approval.
Finally, Paige Walkup asked for an update regarding GMF Warren-Tulane property. Mr. Carpenter reported on his positive contact with Chris Lamberson and the ongoing response to correct issues and bring it up to standard.
This just goes to show that all these boards need to publish their agendas in advance along with all accompanied data and the public should see the same information that the board members get. I will look forward to your comments as you get ready to pay your federal taxes that funds all these projects.
ROI (Return On Investment)Monday, February 8th, 2016

ROI (Return On Investment)
Recently I asked for the following information from the Riverfront Development Corporation.
I would like to know the final cost for the Beale Street Landing
I would like to have the most recent financial statement concerning the income and expense of the Landing operation showing income and expenses.
I would like to have the most recent annual financial statement for the RDC.
I received a prompt answer to these questions (with some delay due to my fault). You can look at the attached results.
They say the cost was $43.5 million with the Feds and State kicking $11.8 million, Housing and Community $1 million and the City $30.6 million. All of this is taxpayer money. Now we all recognize that parks, playgrounds, running and biking trails and other civic amenities do not pay a return on investment in a true business sense. However this restaurant/souvenir shop and boat landing should pay a better return than is shown by the landing operation income and expense sheet shown above. Except for the Foundation Corporate Grant of $75,000, it is losing money each month. Maybe the additional income generated by river boat tourists landings make up for some of this but could the landings have been done without this $43 million dollar project? Virginia McLean certainly thinks so. Here is what she told me recently.
Our new $43M taxpayer funded boat dock probably might make it easier (at the right water-levels) for passengers to board and has probably led to more business for our local daily excursion boat company, but I'm not absolutely certain about either of those points, and I can't imagine that Beale Street Landing has had a serious impact on multi-state-city riverboat cruises. The boat companies appear to be promoting Southern history, food, and music as draws for cruises on the Mississippi River. They dock at Natchez, Vicksburg, Helena, Paducah, to name a few, and those cities/towns don't have expensive new boat docks. The boats appear to just tie up at the shore (like they still do here at Greenbelt Park when water levels are low ) or dock at historic landings like in St. Louis on the old landing which is adjacent & beneath the plaza the Arch sits on or at basic, simple open-air ticket-sale type places like in New Orleans's Woldenberg Park. Personally I think Mud Island River Park's landing would probably beat out anything, including Beale Street Landing. When the boats docked over there and if it was being run properly visitors would have had access to restaurants, a music, pretty park, amphitheater, and via monorail or skywalk downtown city by foot.
I'll stick with the idea that we didn't really need it, couldn't afford it, and now what do we do about running and maintaining it?
The Mississippi River is our greatest asset but it is huge and powerful and maintaining anything on the river always ends up costing more than expected. The Beale Street Landing will continue to cost us in the future to maintain it. We do not need the Riverfront Development Corporation to guide and lead changes to Mud Island River Park considering their past history. What do you think?
Shelby County School Job Positions and SalariesTuesday, September 29th, 2015

Shelby County School Job Positions and Salaries
Nothing is more important than education. We hear all the talk about programs to combat poverty, workforce development, skill training, etc. etc.
The real solution starts with a caring family that is determined to see that their children get the basics, love, discipline, encouragement and the ability to read. The parents must take an active role in these basics.
The next step is education and this is where the debate rages. Do we need more money as most public school boards claim or do we need a 21st century model.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal states, in part, the following.
Whatever your measure—the reading and math proficiency of high-school graduates, the skills gap in the nation's labor market, or the real value of college—there can be little argument that America's schools, as a whole, are failing to prepare students for the 21st century.
There are countless explanations why, but here's a significant contributing factor: Until recently, we simply didn't know how to use technology to make teachers and students happier, better engaged and more successful.
Think about it: In every field of human endeavor, from manufacturing to knowledge work, we're figuring out how to use technology to make humans more successful—to raise the quality of their work, if not their measured productivity.
But the same can hardly be said of teaching. In education, the overwhelming majority of students are still learning as they always have, in classrooms dominated by a one-to-many lecturing model in which teachers inevitably leave some students behind while boring others. That model has barely changed in a century.
Parents, educators and especially taxpayers need to get involved and have an open discussion about how our education taxes are being spent. As a result of my recent open records request, I have attached a complete list of Shelby County School System employee names, job titles and annual salaries. If you do not have Microsoft Excel You can click here for a PDF copy of the salary list. I have decided to list the names only for those making $70,000 per year or more. The total annual salary for the listed year is $581 million for 16,664 employees. Add to this another 20% for benefits. This is around 75% or more in the budget for salaries and benefits.
I think we need to have a public discussion of the Shelby County Education model and ask the question of whether the School Board should be suing for more tax money or should we update the education model to the 21st century.

One BIG problem -- the drugs in question are not "abortion-producing drugs". They do not terminate a pregnancy. They mereky keep a pregnancy from starting. They are contraceptives, not abortifacts as the Green family claims. They are basic preventative health care.

I sincerely hope that Hobby Lobby founders, and fundamentalist Christian
advocates, Green family lose their case.
No one has hindered their personal ability to chose birth control or not. Rather the issue involves their employees who may not necessarily hold the same religious views.
There is a big difference between one's personal religious views and the views of others in the public sphere. The Green family is attempting to force their religious views into the public sector.
No one told the Green's to go into business, nor told them to offer their employees insurance. It was voluntary. As such they ought to follow the law. And the law is certainly Constitutional.

@ Furry,
From what I understand the drugs prevent the fertilized egg from connecting to the uterus wall. So it would depend on your definition of when life starts. If it starts at fertilization or when the egg is connected to the wall (or later). If life starts at fertilization then the drugs are abortion drugs. I might be wrong. I haven't investigated it deeply. Please provide evidence otherwise. Thanks,

Accoridng to scientific and medical standards, pregnancy starts when a fertilized ovum implants in the uterine wall.
According to the sealing standards of the LDS Church, (which provide that vicarious ordinances are permitted only for a person who has lived, and vicarious sealing is not available for stillbirths or miscarriages because, according to the person I talked to in the appropriate department, "living" for the purpose of the sealing ordinance is defined has having been born and taken a breath.
One further thing to consider -- I don't know if you are aware, but between a third and a half of all fertilized eggs never implant in the uterus and, therefore, do not start a pregnancy. Of the eggs that implant, between a quarter and a third self-terminate in the first trimester, and a considerable number more self-terminate in the second and third trimesters, including some that are born but never draw a breath. That, to me, doesn't describe "life" or "living." For me, pregnancy is the process that builds the body in which the spirit resides in mortality; life starts when the spirit joins the body.

BashyUK replied to PaulOBrien's topic in News@PaulOBrien That looks like a range to provide valid upgrade options this year. Had been thinking it was Samsung only. Very large screen on the X though, might have to be the S for me. But that leaves me with 16GB max. Gah.
BashyUK replied to FourQ's topic in HTC DesireBit of an abandoned forum these days mate, Desire being a bit 'old hat' and all. XDA Dev is where it's still alive and kicking. There is a lot of info but to be fair you should still be able to find what you need, if you don't have patience, don't bother getting into this, leave your phone as it is. However, I can help point you to the right tools: First : go here: http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ and d/l the required exe Before you run it, make sure you have a) downloaded and installed HTC Sync THEN Uninstall it but leave on the USB driver Run the unrevoked exe with the phone plugged in and with USB debugging selected (via settings - Development blah blah you'll find it) If it doesn't detect your phone, install these drivers (providing you are Windows based) http://unrevoked.com..._driver_install That should work fine. Don't bother trying the S-Off option it doesn't work for GSM phons (unless someone can advise this has changed) Your phone is now rooted. Oh did I mention S-Off above? Lol. Mate start with the root then move on to the next step. You can start flashing ROMS once rooted, S-Off gives more capabilities but I'd advise you get some experience of the mod world first. Hope that helps. Also here's the XDA Dev link: http://forum.xda-dev...splay.php?f=594 and a link to a post of all steps above prob explained better: http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=696189
BashyUK replied to hecatae's topic in NewsIf that's true, i hope that's acid spilling on to it :-p Really, really wanted a RAZR but not much customisation killed that for me. There was a time when I would hae said 'locked what..?' then I discovered MoDaCo in Summer 2010. Damn you! :-)

BashyUK replied to fudgeboy's topic in HTC Desirerather than launch via ROM Man how about loading the relevant CWM .img file via fastboot?
BashyUK replied to KeransHQ's topic in HTC DesireProviding it's a custom ROM using A2SD+ and it supports Ext4, yeah! Take note, if you use a ROM like MIUI you have to enable A2SD+ by running the command: get terminal from market - Type su - Type a2sd zipalign - Type a2sd cachesd Otherwise, other A2SD+ ROM's will just pick up that you have the partition. Just make sure it's an EXT4 compatible ROM
BashyUK replied to EDBANGER's topic in HTC DesireWell at the moment the Sensation still has a locked bootloader and HTC haven't confirmed if their unlocked bootloader policy is going to be implemented on the currently locked models i.e. Sensation and Desire S. So if you are looking at getting right now and to be able to root + ROM, it would have to be the Samsung Galaxy S2, which has a fully unlocked bootloader as standard , ripe for rooting and roms. Then again, a whole lot can happen in 2 months, if the Sensation is then unlocked by HTC, for me it's a no brainer due to my current Desire experience, I'm firmly in the HTC court come my upgrade next year. An outsider is the Motorola Atrix, which from what I've read is not only locked but a Motorola :-p I don't get why they're so huge in the US, that one passed me right by.
BashyUK replied to jorge749's topic in HTC DesireHi, What's your device show up as in Device Manager? You might want to load the fastboot drivers from the unrevoked site even though they are 'older' than the htc sync ones.
BashyUK replied to PaulOBrien's topic in SoftwareTo be honest, nope.. A cursory glance at most because A) I really don't know what can be done by those wanting to be mischievous with Android. :P The information provided doesn't really mean much to me and will mean even less so to those not very tech literate. I also think a lot of the maybe votes are no users in denial :-p OK I hope that's the case for me lol!
BashyUK replied to MarkT1973's topic in HTC DesireAlways been the case with a2sd, once you install a large number of apps the internal eventually gets 'eaten' by the app cache which still lives on internal. Give d2sd or data2whatever a go. Check out XDA, lots of ROMS using it there now although I think someone has used it with MCR too (maybe hongkongtom I think). I'm using Alex-V 2.2 since this weekend with d2whatever, 646MB free internal. With a2sd+ I had 54MB free. Performance so far exactly the same, tried 1 day with standard kernel (oc to 1113) now using coutts (OC to 1190) CFS kernel. All good.
BashyUK replied to VeeDubZ's topic in HTC DesireDo you definitely have r/w access in system? Do you have S-off?
BashyUK replied to Christian Engen's topic in HTC DesireObjection! ;) You must add Alex-V 2.1 to that list in that case. Anyway, I see the OP has gone on his own track :) Enjoy the ride. OP I would recommend you read up on XDA the 'Complete guide to rooting etc...' and also have a look at the 'Alex-V Wiki' in my sig which has info that is useful regardless of ROM.

Hello everyone,
We're excited for an awesome Node.jS meet up this month! We'll start with meet and greet time, sharing what's cool, and a great talk. This time Grant will give us an introduction and bit of history to help us answer "Why Node.JS?" This talk is a great way to get in the pool for those just starting to poke around with node or even help those on the fence decide if it's worth the time. For those already in the deep end learn some of the awesome history that got us here.
How Did We Get Here?
Evented, asynchronous, the Reactor Pattern - node's threadless development model feels miles away from most of the tools in the modern network programmer's arsenal. What are the challenges that shaped node's design? Why did server-side javascript develop such an immediate and passionate following? Join Grant Goodale, founder at Massively Fun, on a Connections-style trip through the early days of network programming in an effort to answer the question "How did we get here?".
6:30 PM Pizza, Beer & Noding it up.
7:00 PM Show and Tell (bring something cool or a neat question if you want to share)
7:30 PM How did we get here? A brief history of the world.
Great presentation. Interesting and well prepared.

Cornerback wasn't projected as a major New York Giants need when this offseason began, but man did they attack it like one. The Giants spent big money to sign Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and added Walter Thurmond and Zack Bowman while also re-signing Trumaine McBride.
This flurry of activity did not escape the attention of Prince Amukamara, who was the team's No. 1 cornerback last year and admitted Tuesday that the moves led him to wonder about his role and his future with the team.
"A little bit," the always-honest Amukamara said. "I think it's natural for someone to think that, especially if you feel threatened by the guys and the guys are good. And there are two sides to that. You can look at it and say, 'This guy can help the team,' or you can say, 'This guy might take my spot.' But it's not my job to worry about that."
Amukamara still projects as a starter on the outside opposite Rodgers-Cromartie, with Thurmond likely playing the slot. But Thurmond can absolutely play on the outside if necessary, and Giants coach Tom Coughlin said last month that Rodgers-Cromartie would be asked to cover the opponent's top receiver every week -- an assignment Amukamara had toward the end of last year and was hoping to get again.
Add in the fact the Giants haven't yet decided whether to pick up the 2015 contract option on their 2011 first-round pick, and Amukamara has reason to wonder whether he's in the team's long-term plans.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it, but I can't really worry about that," Amukamara said. "I've just been living by, 'Only focus on the things I can control.' I could have controlled whether the Giants did or not by my play the last three years, but right now I can't worry about that. If they do it, that's great. If they don't, that's great too. But I would be very excited if they did, of course."
The option likely would be around $7 million for 2015 (it's the average of the salaries of the No. 3 through No. 25 highest paid cornerbacks in the league), and it wouldn't be fully guaranteed until the first day of the 2015 season. But the Giants have to decide by May 3 whether to pick it up, or else Amukamara would be a free agent following the 2014 season. Rodgers-Cromartie carries a cap hit in excess of $7 million for 2015, so it's possible the Giants wouldn't want to pay two cornerbacks that much. But it's a premium position in today's NFL, and the Giants treat it as one, so it's not out of the question either.
"It shows that the team wants you," Amukamara said. "And who wouldn't want to feel wanted?"
After the Giants' cornerback signing spree, it sounds as though Amukamara would like to know whether he is.

We spent two nights at Sidi Bounou. The place is warm and cozy. I love music, so had the chance to try the guimbri (gnawa acoustic bass) and play drums with the local musicians at night. Also loved talking with Nancy, the hostess, and her crew and about travels and life. Besides, we spent one night at the desert. Our friendly driver and guide were good company. We learned beber mythology by reading the stars. Also danced in the desert and sang blues in the dunes at midnight.

Among these friends are two other sets of brothers, the Bradleys and the Cottles. Seth Bradley told me, "you and Steve are the fast brothers, we're the good-looking brothers." I don't know about this, given that Seth and I have raced a lot together, and he has finished ahead of me quite a bit more than I have finished ahead of him. Besides, for a short, paunchy, middle-aged guy with thinning hair who has been given the nickname "Gimli," I think I'm reasonably good-looking. Regardless, the Cottles are the wise brothers, universally admired both for their success on the race course as well as their kindness and insight when mentoring other racers.
Just over a year ago, I was fearful I would lose my brother after a racing accident. In the fickle game of roulette that is life, Seth lost his brother Matt this spring, while Daren's brother Doug passed away over the weekend. In each case, like Steve, it was an unforeseeable accident. There is no good explanation and no platitude that will make it all feel better. I am simply reminded to never trade the assurance of a today for the assumption of a tomorrow.

Watch SpaceX Fire a Recovered Falcon 9 Booster
The impressive process signifies a critical step toward actually re-using reusable rockets.
The impressive process signifies a critical step toward actually re-using reusable rockets.
SpaceX's work in reusable rockets will get another push as scientists prepare Sunday for a launch and subsequent landing of the Falcon 9 rocket tonight.
You can pretend to be disappointed every time SpaceX's Falcon 9 crashes during a landing attempt, but deep down you know part of you wants to see an explosion. That's why this video of a miniature flying SpaceX Falcon 9 drone is both awesome and disappointing, because there's never going to be a fireball. Read more >>
Time for your daily dose of space porn! Photographer Zach Grether has posted photos on his blog of what he said was the landing of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Read More >>
When SpaceX managed to safely land its 3rd Falcon 9 rocket ten days ago, Elon Musk tweeted that the company "may need to increase [the] size of [its] rocket storage hangar". He wasn't kidding. These photos seem to prove Musk's point. See more >>
The landing was thought unlikely to succeed, but went ahead regardless and has been nailed.
This video compilation shows highlights from the past four years of SpaceX launches and landings—from Grasshopper all the way up to Falcon 9.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket just made the first ocean barge landing ever. Read More >>
Am I stuck in a timeloop? Is any of this real? Am I here? Are you?
SpaceX's SES-9 mission is slated to launch later today at 11:46pm (GMT) from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
The company itself says, "a successful landing is not expected." Oh dear.
This photo, posted on SpaceX's Instagram, shows five first stage rockets in the works at the company's headquarters in Hawthorne, California. Read More >>
It's been a few really good months for SpaceX, and now, the commercial spaceflight company is kicking rocket production into high gear.
Witness the aftermath of a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly (that's an explosion to us normal folk).
Elon Musk's SpaceX firm had another go at landing a rocket upright on a barge over the weekend and...well...fluffed it. If at first you don't succeed...Read more >>
Elon Musk reports that the Falcon 9 rocket SpaceX successfully landed at Cape Canaveral performed well during testing, although with some yet-to-be-explained fluctuations.

Kingston SSDNow M-Series SSD Upgrade Kit
The Packaging
I was very surprised to see the retail packaging for the upgrade kit. Usually companies try to spice the package up with logos, pictures and performance information. Here we see that the front of the package looks like the back of many.
On the back we find some warranty information and a Kingston logo at the bottom right.
The product name can only be found on a sticker that is located on the top of the box.
The good news is that everything is packed very well on the inside of the box.

Rooney Mara's Changing Looks
1. 2003
The aspiring actress starred in a production of Romeo and Juliet at Fox Lane High School in Bedford, New York. Mara has admitted that her flowing curls were clip-in extensions used to disguise a bad haircut.
2. 2009
Mara wore her long, romantic waves pulled back at the crown for a screening of The Winning Season.
3. 2010
She dropped by the Youth in Revolt premiere with loose locks, barely-there blush and soft rose lipstick.
4. 2010
For the premiere of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Mara adorned her loose ponytail with a jeweled headband.
5. 2011
Mara revealed her punky Lisbeth Salander crop at a viewing of Tanner Hall. "I wasn't freaked out by the hair-cutting, the piercings, the dyeing," she told People. "The bleaching of my eyebrows was the most startling thing."
6. 2011
For the premiere of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Mara wore severe straight-cut fringe and minimal makeup. "I love her face," the movie's director David Fincher told Entertainment Weekly. "She can look like a boy or like Audrey Hepburn. She's just got these amazing bones."
7. 2011
Sweeping her bangs to the side for a fresh take on her crop, the actress limited her makeup to red lipstick and strong eyebrows. "She was a dream to work with," said beauty guru Kate Lee, who created the look. "Because her dress was so magnificent, we wanted her makeup to appear effortless." Lee lightly groomed the actress's brows with a pencil, then set them with a swipe of black mascara.
8. 2012
For the Oscars, Mara balanced her bold brows and crimson lips with sheer blush.
9. 2013
For the CFDA Awards, Mara wore her hair in a sleek, low bun with a deep side part.
10. 2013
Mara wore her hair half up for the Her premiere at the 8th Rome Film Festival. Her dark red lips were a perfect contrast to her white Balenciaga dress.
11. 2014
Mara updates her signature sleek style with a chignon.
12. 2015
The star styled her sleek, straight locks with a middle part at the New York premiere of Pan.
13. 2016
Mara's side-swept 'do at the 2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards looked striking against her flawless pale skin and minimal makeup.

He is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Georgia Diagnostics & Classifications Prison in Jackson.
Over the weekend, CL photographer Joeff Davis (no relation to Troy) met the death row inmate's cousin E. Red at a rally. Joeff submitted questions to E. Red, who relayed them to Troy. E. Red was not permitted to take notes while his cousin spoke, but did his best to write down some of what Davis said after their two hour visit.
E. Red said, "Today was the first time I had him [Troy] by myself, the first time we had a contact visit in a year and a half, it was the first time we were able to be in the same room, normally we have us a use a phone with a wall between us. The guards down there, they love him. When they had a riot there earlier in the year they brought him in to talk to the prisoners, and thats how they are and that's how it has always been."
"I did the best I could to get the answers to your questions. I could not take notes while he spoke but I wrote down what he said as soon as I got back in the car. We visited for two hours."
Question from CL: How do you feel?
Troy Davis: " I feel blessed and at peace because God has blessed me
through everyone that is fighting for me."
CL: What would your message be for your supporters around the world?
TD: "Thank you for supporting me and my family I have been truly blessed by god through you all. Thank you for showing solidarity and continuing the good fight for humanity."
CL: Are you scared?
TD: "No scared of what? I don't fear the devil. God has blessed
me through millions of people."
CL: If you got out of jail what would you do?
TD: "Make sure my family is ok and well taken care of due to
what they have been through the last 22 years and make sure my nephew
and niece gets through college and gets a good education. I would also
start a program with the state and 6th or 5th grade-level and talk to
them and help them to understand the future and their goals."
E. Red added, "He wants to teach young kids how to stand up on their feet and not be torn down and he wants people to teach people to live together and help kids who came from troubled homes and help them to have a good life."
Laura Moye, Amnesty International's Death Penalty Abolition Campaign Director, says her organization is calling on the pardons board to reconsider its decision, and also asking that the Chatham County District Attorney call for the execution warrant to be vacated by the presiding judge.
Several protests are planned, including one at 7 p.m. tonight on the steps of the capitol and one tomorrow at a church across the street from the prison where Davis is to be executed. "We're calling on all Georgians to come out and say, 'Not in my name,'" Moye says. "Not while this cloud of doubt still looms over our heads."

Maryland police trainee shot in firearm accident
BALTIMORE (AP) – A Maryland police trainee is in critical condition after being shot in the head in a training accident.
Authorities said at a news conference late Tuesday that the trainee, who is in his 40s, underwent surgery at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
City police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goog-lee-EL-mee) said the trainee was in critical condition.
Guglielmi said the accident happened about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at a firearms training center on the grounds of the former Rosewood Center in Owings Mills, a suburb of Baltimore. City police were administering the training.
Officials say police academy training has been suspended pending a safety review.
The man was a trainee for the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus police.
Maryland State Police are leading the investigation into the incident.

These chairs are the perfect color for my dining room. I'm so tired of brown, so I was very surprised when my wife chose these chairs to add some color to our home. The chairs are comfortable. The fabric looks good and durable. I am happy they were easy to assemble. My wife is happy she got such a good deal and fast delivery from Overstock on her first purchase. I am sure we will buy more things after this experience.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good color match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate
These chairs were a great price and are comfortable but the fabric is not what I expected. You can see the black lining through the green color and the look a bit cheap.
Chairs arrived in good condition and quickly. Chairs were slightly more lime green than the "pear" color expected, but still went well with decor. Good value for the price. Only ordered two to make sure I liked them; will order two more :) Black threding is visible, but not noticable from a distance. A few threads needed clipping upon arrival. The style will be easy to recover/slipcover if needed at a later time.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? A little more lime green than expected
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Fair quality for the cost
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
So about the fabric: The pear color is dead on what you'd expect the color "pear" to be. Right on the edge of going to green, but still yellow. Not gold at all, a more greenish yellow. But not green. The black fabric backing shows through and creates a very nice texture and horizontal *almost* pattern. It's really nice looking. I was pleasantly surprised. They require assembly, which was fine. If you put them together tightly, they feel sturdy. Pretty light weight, which is nice for shuffling chairs around or pulling in/out. The seat is not very cushy, but at least softer than the wood we are used to. :-) Great price for a nice, contemporary look.
I was looking for, but couldn't locate. The pair of chairs arrived promptly, well packaged. I assembled both in less than 45 minutes with the supplied Allen wrench. The fabric leaves a little 2B desired, but the chairs offer a nice firm place to sit at our game table.
Average....Not for eveyday use...
The quality is so cheap. I just though aways **** and ugly looking and cheap chairs. This will teach me never to shop on line. I gave them away, it was cheaper than trying to send them back. The material on the chair. Broken. The stitching horrible. I was so upset and cry when I saw them. Good luck if you bad these Horrible chairs.

Congratulations, and well done for being frimly out of the closet!
sorry, that should be "firmly" not "frimly"!
I liked frimly.
Erm… he refers to himself as gay in the U.K??
He has never identified as bisexual by the way.
He has identified himself as 'pansexual' – whatever that means.
Pansexual is loving a person, no matter what gender (if any) they embrace.
I am pansexual. I have no attraction to males or females by themselves. I never saw the ' need ' to choose one over the other seeing all as the same. The bits you have hold little meaning. I just happen to fall in love with a man.
I lack that ' attraction ' to a gender. I fell in love with my partner so then his gender became attactive to me as it was him.
I'm pansexual. I get turned on frying things.
cumberland sausage…?
Pork and apple…
Dunno who writes your jokes Spanner but they need to be fired! lol
What is?
Ain't ya just John!!
Ah who cares what his publicist puts in the media regarding his sexuality, congrats Alan, fae Scotchland.
Congratulations! Hopefully one day a marriage in UK will be valid the world over and vice versa and we won't need to have to remarry everywhere we go to be covered by law!!
Congratulations and God Blesses your marriage to your same sex partner. We hope you live long and prosper. Please don't hate evil Christians for what they do for they know not what they do, they are possessed by Satan who makes them hate and harm gays because Satan wants the Christians who are possessed to to hate gays destroy the Christian religion from inside with their hate. Try to show these lost Christians who are possesses by Satan that they are in fact doing the devils works when they hate and harm others, The Bible John 3:15, Anyone who hates his brother or sister is a murder at heart. Help these lost Christians to find their way and to stop being murders that will keep them out of heaven. Love a Gay Christian.
When did you get a call from 'god' to announce that it blessed this marriage.
They had a civil marriage.
'God' had NOTHING to do with it.
Go home David and stop spreading your gloom.
I'm not spreading gloom.
I am simply pointing out that Bob made an insulting mistake by saying that 'god' blessed this marriage.
Typical christian arrogance. Assigning superstitious crap to a civil matter.
I expect you find this hard to understand as you have admitted that you also suffer from the mental illness of religious belief.
if people want to believe in 'god' that's their business. But they shouid f*** right off if they think this allows them assign religious meaning to non-religious services.
I have to say I agree with you there: though no doubt a well-intentioned remark, it's my understanding that actually no-one can speak for God. As for believing in possession by Satan, well …!
A simple google will bring up this: Once described as "a frolicky pansexual sex symbol for the new millennium", Cumming has stated that he considers himself bisexual, "although the pendulum has obviously swung".[18] Prior to the civil union, Cumming dated both men and women. Previous relationships include a two-year relationship with actress Saffron Burrows, a six-year relationship with theater director Nick Philippou, and a 1985 marriage to actress Hilary Lyon that lasted eight years
So yes he considers himself bisexual, why it's got some of your knickers in a twist I do not know.
Congrats to him and his partner.
Surely your headline should have read: Alan Cumming Announces Wedding in New York
I totally agree with that.
Indeed. It is equal marriage we want surely, not Gay marriage. It sounds devisive.
Congratulations… all the best Alan and Grant!!
You know, I always thought Alan Cumming was ugly, but now on a second thought he is not ugly, he is just different, he has an unusual and curious kind of cuteness, like actress Lola Glaudini.
I have always been a huge fan of his and so happy that he has found his love and that they are going to be wed!!
Congrats to both of them and all the best happiness in life!

Newsletter 30th May 2016
Fete, Fete, Fete! In case it was passing you by, the Village Fete, organised by Spirit of Milborne Port takes place on Saturday 4th June from 1pm, followed in the evening by the Party @ the Port. All the usual fun to be had. There is also the opportunity to contribute to the update of the Milborne Port Parish Plan.
Before that, on 3rd Friday, the National Blood Transfusion service will be at the village hall for those wanting to give blood.
Once the busy weekend is over, a quieter time with the bridge for beginners club, which starts up on Monday 6th June at the Village Hall.
The next full Parish Council meeting will take place on 7th June at 7pm. The agenda is available here, and it is noted that on the agenda will be consideration of the planning application for a retail store on the site of the Gainsborough Arms.
The Council's accounts are now available for inspection by contacting the Parish Clerk until 15th July. An informal report of items of significance discussed at the last Parish Council meeting is available and since that time, other significant improvements to the cemetery have been completed.
On 11th June, there will be a garden party to celebrate the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen at Church House, whilst on 18th June, the School will hold its annual summer fayre, also with Royal overtones.
We note that the WI in Milborne Port reports on electing a new president, whilst librarian Sue Morse has retired. No doubt the Friends of Milborne Port Library will feel this loss but they continue to do sterling work in our library.
The History and Heritage group are not resting on their laurels, and following their festival leading up to the fete, whey will be holding their next meeting on 20th June, starting at the ball court.
The use of the village hall as a polling station has moved from the main hall to the Camelot room of the hall and will see its first use for the EU referendum on 23rd June. Whatever your views on this, the outcome will impact us all for decades to come and a high turnout is hoped for.
On 26th June, the last of the current round of open days will take place at the English Organ School.
Or course, this quick round up of specific activities within our village does not do justice to the wide range of social and sporting activities which take place every week, from badminton to bridge and Spanish conversation to Short mat bowls. Look at the diary to see the full range of what's on. If we have missed anything that you would like to see included in the village diary or reported in the news pages, please do get in touch with the administrator.
