North Branford
Notified About
229 Branford Road North Branford, CT 06471, USA - North BranfordRt 139 (Branford Road) has heavy traffic, which does not slow down for the many children who live in the North Farms complex. You can not see clearly what is coming in either direction, and the cars go whizzing by at a high rate of speed. I've seen cars speed right through the traffic lights! We need either a stop sign, a speed bump, pedestrian crossing, or more importantly, a traffic signal before someone is killed attempting to get out of the driveway or a child trying to cross the road. There are no sidewalks!
Paving Disaster Open1084-1098 Middletown Avenue Northford, Connecticut - North BranfordThe utility work being wrapped up and the subsequent repaving of half of the Southbound side of Middletown Ave is completely unacceptable. It goes from Village St all the way to Rimmon Rd and is almost undrivable. Its comparable to driving on a dirt road full of bumps and ruts, almost like they simply dumped the asphalt and smoothed it with shovels. Traffic driving on that side now drives over the middle line to avoid it which is just an accident waiting to happen. If this is the final paving of this i cant wait for winter and the 8 million pot holes that are going to form. How can anyone in the city actually think this work was done correctly, someone needs to be held accountable for this as this is some of the worst paving i have ever seen. Make the company come back out and do it right on their own dime, unless there is no one in the town that cares in which case im glad i simply have to drive through your town every day as opposed to living in it.
2 Rolling Hills Drive - North BranfordThere is "no" street light in the lower section of Rolling Hills Drive. This is dangerous at night and also in the morning when the kids are waiting at that corner for the bus.
8 Olson Road North Branford, CT - North BranfordEach and every day starting from 1 pm and continuing to 8 pm, then starting up again at midnight until 1:30 am, vehicles are traveling up and down Olson Road in excess of 45 mph. At the curve near 8 olson road the cars are going so fast that they swerve to the other side just to make the turn, if a car is going up the road at this time sooner or later their will be head on crash. Neighbors walk their dogs and children ride their bikes at all hours of the day,and on occasion you will hear parents yelling at drivers TOO SLOW DOWN ! The neighbors have complained to the Police, ( and we know their are more important things than this) but let's not wait until someone is killed to act upon this complaint.
192-324 Forest Rd Northford, CT 06472, USA - North BranfordNot only did I not receive a paper yesterday ( Saturday ) but when it is delivered its thrown and I have to play hide and seek and its and not in the tube where it should be. Sometmes after finding my paper it is soaking wet. When I asked for the paper to be delivered at this address I was told that for this to happen I needed to put a post in place with the tube from New Haven Register with it's name on it with placement requirements. I did it and all was fine for years, but the last year has been horrible. It has also prompted me to reduce the days its being thrown around my address to about half the week and now considdering stopping it all together because even with constant calls to the paper the delivery person still refuses to deliver it properly. Am I the only one or is this everywhere ?
Litter and growing ArchivedForest Rd new Haven, Connecticut - North BranfordI drive to work from Woodbridge to school in new haven Monday through Friday. I travel on Forest to Chapel and it is apparent that the amount of litter is growing especially on the same side as Hopkins. Forest is lined with the most stunning homes and it is depressing to see how ugly it is becoming. I would be happy to clean it up myself but the area is very narrow between the side of the street and the traffic. I am passionate about keeping roadways and streets clean as both myself and several neighbors keep our street clean with regular litter pick ups.i also organized our Rid Litter Day in Woodbridge which coincides on Earth Day annually. I know this is not the worse area of blight in New Haven however it has become an ugly eyesore in The Westville area. I am also sure that daily commuters are to blame as Wellbutrin I have yet to see a clean up in this area in months. Thank you for your consideration.
Absence of Town Plows ArchivedRic Court North Branford, CT - North BranfordRoads closed off and covered with walls of snow; can't drive out of the neighborhood in an emergency
MANY POTHOLES Archived50 Village Street Northford, Connecticut - North BranfordThere are many potholes on Village Street by Auger Road. It is like driving through a mine field. The town did a terrible job of repairing them last month and now they are even worse Please fix them correctly.
Post to neighbors Archived192-324 Connecticut 22 Northford, Connecticut - North Branford
Why No Traffic Sign? OpenForest Road New Haven, Connecticut - North BranfordTHERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WAY DOWN FOREST ROAD AT THE SHARP TURN IN THE ROAD CONTINUING ON TO THE END TO THE LIGHT. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THIS ROAD, AND IT IS A VERY BAD TURN ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE of this elbow in the road. My question is WHY IS THERE NOT A BLINKING YELLOW LIGHT SAYING SHARP TURN OR CURVE IN ROAD WITH AN ELBOW SIGN UNDER WARNING YELLOW BLINKING LIGHT?? THIS SHARP TURN IS EXTREMLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS UNAWARE OF THIS . AND THERE HAS BEEN "MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS" AT THIS AREA.
Pallet on side of road ArchivedTotoket Rd. Northford, Ct - North BranfordAs you drive past Parsonage Hill Rd. there is what appears to be an old Pallet leaning on the bushes. It has been there for a couple of weeks now. I think the town needs to remove it before someone hits it in passing and damages their vehicle.
Too fast Open1675-1691 Foxon Road North Branford, CT 06471, USA - North BranfordToo fast


text: Hello, this is my first post here. The short story is about the people of earth discovering that they can't get out of the solar system, because it is enclosed in a giant transparent sphere. When they finally break out, they find out that all the planetary systems are also trapped in spheres. Very good story and written in a humorous style. I read it 10 years ago, in a short story compilation book that was older. Thanks

WASHINGTON, March 28 (Yonhap) -- U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Thursday that North Korea has become more dangerous today and the U.S. has to be prepared for "any eventuality" on the peninsula.
"I think their very provocative actions and belligerent tone has ratcheted up the danger. And we have to understand that reality," he said during a news conference at the Pentagon.
He stressed that the U.S. and its allies should take seriously "every provocative, bellicose word and action that this new young leader (Kim Jong-un) has taken so far."
Hagel dismissed a view that dispatching B-2 stealth bombers to the peninsula was a provocative move itself.
He said the B-2 flight was just part of annual joint military drills with South Korea.
"Those exercises are mostly to assure our allies that they can count on us to be prepared and to help them deter conflict," Hagel said.

I gobbled this bag now in one setting. Try to resist not doing that. I would bet against it. Once you open this bag you are going to finish it in one eating. What a treat! What a great price! Just loved it. Next time need to get several bags. One bag will leave you sadly regretting not ordering more. I wish I could give it ten stars.

Yesterday, I attended the "Capitol Hill Homeless Summit," put on by Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets, a non-profit which helps homeless youth and young adults make the transition from homelessness into a stable living environment. The event featured a panel, which delivered the findings of a two-day "summit" on homelessness.
After talking to homeless members of the community and others who've experienced homelessness, PSKS reached a few conclusions, which they shared with the 40-or-so people in attendance:
-Mental health, hygeine issues, criminal records, credit history, and "cultural competency" can be frequent barriers to accessing services for the homeless.
-Once the homeless receive services, serious addictions, the "shock of moving indoors," pets, and relationships with others can make it hard to achieve stability.
-Stealing out of necessity too often lands the homeless in jail.
-Police get to know certain homeless people, and "profile" them.
-Shelters and other facilities often exclude homeless from certain age groups.
-Capitol Hill needs more housing for those with mental health issues, legal campsites, more homeless feeds, and needs to consider having "safe injection sites."
-Interestingly, all of the participants on the four-person panel pointed out that they would prefer being homeless on Capitol Hill than in any other neighborhood because of open-mindedness. "Because the neighborhood is accepting of people who are different, we feel comfortable making our home here," said a panelist named Raven.
I'm glad these homeless men and women feel like part of a community, and that they're accepted and supported on Capitol Hill. I was genuinely touched when they shared details from their own experiences of homelessness, and glad that I got to experience their perspectives. So I quietly approached organizer Elaine Simons to ask her what she proposes we actually do about all this, now that they've got a sense of what the problem is.
Simons told me that the purpose of this meeting was to "make time for the funding people to get to know each other" - she hoped to draw attention to what her organization is doing so thay can get support from others in the community. The next meeting will be the one that will be tasked to come up with any real solution to these problems.

Being in possession of a borked Windows 7 installation, I loaded the AMD 64 version of Kubuntu Oneiric on my HP G42 laptop last night, and with proper drivers (and cracks) installed, managed to get OpenGL working.
This afternoon, I decided to get Amarok configured, which involved getting my music from my aging Dell Inspiron 530n onto my decidely newer laptop.
Getting the music proved painless enough, and the initial Amarok scan took something like 45 minutes after I assumed everything would proceed as it ordinarily would.
I was wrong.
After everything scanned, I attempted to play something from my collection, which failed miserably and Amarok crashed after a few seconds. Now, every time I open up Amarok, it crashes within a few seconds. I can't even configure it to use the phonon-backend-vlc.
Any thoughts as to how I can get Amarok working again?
Relevant specs are as follows:
Intel Core i3 processor, 2.26 gHz.
320 GiB HDD
3 GiB RAM
Intel i915 Integrated Graphics
Thanks in advance!

Cytec Climbs After Profit Tops Estimates on Coatings Gain
Cytec Inc., the second-largest maker of carbon-fiber materials for airplanes, rose the most in seven weeks after posting quarterly profit that beat analysts' estimates on gains in its coatings and separations units.
Cytec climbed 3.9 percent to $61.14 in New York, the biggest gain since May 21.
Profit in the second quarter was $1.50 to $1.55 a share, excluding costs for restructuring, acquisitions and divestitures, Woodland Park, New Jersey-based Cytec said today in a preliminary earnings statement. That exceeds the $1.14 average of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company plans to announce full results on July 19.
"Strong performance" in the coatings resins and process separation businesses was the main driver in the quarter, Cytec said.
Higher prices and sales in the coatings unit, which Cytec is trying to sell, may have contributed as much as 80 percent of the earnings that beat estimates, Laurence Alexander, a New York-based analyst at Jefferies & Co., said in a research note today.
"Coating resins appears off to a very strong start in the first half, which, in our opinion, should help potential buyers become more comfortable with the normalized earnings power of this business," Michael Sison, a Cleveland-based analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets, said today in a note.
Sison said coatings mostly benefited from lower raw-material costs, particularly propylene, rather than improved demand. He rates the shares buy and Alexander rates them hold.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is assisting with the sale of the coating resins business, which makes chemicals used in paint. The separations unit provides miners with chemicals used to separate metals from ore.

Orphir (Old Norse: Jorfjara/Orfjara[1][2][3]) is a parish and settlement in Mainland, Orkney. It is approximately 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Kirkwall, and comprehends a seaboard tract of about 7 by 3½ miles (11 by 5½ km), and includes Cava and the Holm of Houton. The coast includes Houton Head, about 300 ft tall (91 m), but all elsewhere is nearly level; and the interior is an assemblage of vales and hills, the latter culminating at about 700 feet (210 m) above sea level, and commanding fine views.
A chief residence was the Hall of Clestrain; and chief antiquities include the ruins of Earl Paul's Palace, remains of pre-Reformation chapels, and several tumuli.
Notable people[edit]
- John Rae (30 September 1813 – 22 July 1893), the explorer of Canada's Arctic was born at the Hall of Clestrain in this parish.

Great internet for free, very basic accomodation but great price
clean and smart good food and menus quiet location reasonable price
Kindness of staff, rich and good breakfast, good price for value, etc.
Dudelange city is really small and you don't have many locations to go out at night.
Personel was helpful, good restaurant, nice room
No parking space (mentioned otherwise on site), street and church noise (even after 10 pm)
Great location, 5 minutes walk to the village center or 10 min to the Thermal Centre. Free access to the Casino itself, which I enjoyed even though I'm not much of a gambler. The room was large and clean, with a very comfortable bed and armed chairs. The continental breakfast was fine, with good service. The entire hotel was very well maintained and clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The bus that connects the village and Luxembourg City stops right in front of the Casino complex.
The cigarette smoke from the game rooms managed to seep into my room, which could be bothersome for those who are allergic to smoke. When I was there, the Casino building was being renovated and extended, making the area outside a bit messy, but the noise effect was surprisingly low, so it didn't bother me.
The Casino was a pleasant surprise to us. It is is the most comfortable and fairly up to date casino we have experienced in Europe. Nice, friendly staff in a casual environment. Not many card games, but lots of slots to choose from. The hotel room was large and clean. The buffet for Euro 21.50 including all the wine you wanted was a bargain. Great choices. Breakfast was nice and the wait staff very friendly. We intend to do this get away frequently as it is only an hours drive from our house.
The hotel was wonderful with free parking. The Casino does need to upgrade its slots so that they are coin free.
The location and the staff
The style of the room, well designed and clean.
Rooms were neat and clean, close to railway station and convenient. I would happily recommend them
Clean room and a WiFi that worked flawlessly
Strong smell of cigarette smoke, and a flooring that squeaked as we walked. The hotel is on top of a bar and can be a little noisy at times
Excellent 5 star hotel. Perfectly located near the center of town.
It is the best hotel in Luxembourg, a bit less central than the Royal but close nevertheless and newer/nicer.
Nothing to report
The room was outstanding. Lots of nice amenities and attention to details (bathrobes, coffeemaker, flower, L'Occitane soaps, excellent shower) and the design was spacious, original, funky and modern yet warm and comfortable.
Wifi should be included. Shower leaked out onto the floor due to design flaw/bad seal. No easy garage access. Room should have radio alarm clock with iPod plugin.
Room standards were good and comfortable as all Ibis hotels are that we have visited
The reception area needs to be made more presentable and the reception staff more available. The restaurant had only one waiter on duty in the evening and that was the manager. The furniture coverings in the bar area was badly worn. It needs some refurbishment.
Close to the highway, good connection possibility.
Bed very hard. No minibar
Nothing really. A hotel without a soul.
If you are tired of live and looking for the most boring hotel, this would be the place to stay for your holiday.
It's close to the Jean Monnet building
The entrance to the hotel is not easy to find!
Comfortable bed, situated near to the train station.
Size of the bed too big for such a small room. Table too small. Bath room not well cleaned. Situated in the milieu of prostitution, therefore a lot of noise coming from the street.
My room, particularly the bed, smelled of cigarette smoke. I always request a non-smoking room so I found this disappointing.
The hotel is nicely furnished, quiet and peaceful. Good transportation to the city center.
everything was fine
I was satisfied with the cost-to-benefit overall approach.
I was very disappointed with the level of English or German of the hotel staffing: at the reception desk, in the hotel bar and in the restaurant as well. It was very confusing, even though I tried to be friendly and able to comprehend. Breakfast service was quite poor and there was nothing much, what could this hotel to offer me. I was missing fitness or a pool.

Abstract"Communication is paramount in nearly all military operations, ranging from tactical operations to the efficient maintenance of equipment. On the battlefront, warfighters are constantly in need of updated information describing the battle zone. To supportthese warfighters, maintenance personnel need access to a myriad of technical documents and schematics instantly and conveniently. Since maintenance takes place in the field, the maintenance engineer requires display technology that can give him theinformation he needs in very tight spaces, without causing eyestrain or discomfort. Especially important is a communication device which accesses a central database of information, and that leaves the user's hands free to accomplish other tasks at hand.A device is needed which addresses all of these problems in whole. We propose a system that utilizes modularity to approach the variety of challenges. Modules would consist of display units, input devices, and virtual tools. All would be wireless andinterfaced through a Personal Computing Unit, (PCU) which could be worn about the waist, leaving the operative with both hands free.This technology has commercial applications in the areas of flight maintenance and field maintenance. It would also beuseful for search and rescue teams, and hazardous waste monitoring and cleanup systems."

The Great Divorce (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell and the chasm fixed between them is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside.
In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven? This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C. S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil and on what God really offers us.
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

PulteGroup Gains as Homebuilder Projects Second-Half Profit
PulteGroup Inc., the largest U.S. homebuilder by revenue, reported a narrower-than-expected first-quarter loss and said it expects to be profitable in the second half of the year. The shares climbed more than 3 percent.
The net loss in the first quarter was $39.5 million, or 10 cents a share, compared with $12.5 million, or 3 cents, a year earlier, the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based company said today in a statement. The average estimate of 17 analysts in a Bloomberg survey was for a loss of 14 cents a share.
PulteGroup focused on cutting costs in the face of weak demand for new homes. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter decreased 10 percent from a year earlier to $136 million. The rate of cancellations declined and visits to the company's sale centers increased, said Richard Dugas, chairman and chief executive officer.
"Assuming market conditions remain stable, we have put ourselves in a position to return to profitability in the back half of the year." Dugas said on a conference call with investors. "Now it's about effort and execution, which are clearly within our control."
Roger Cregg, chief financial officer, said the builder expects profits in both the third and fourth quarters.
Share Rise
PulteGroup rose 26 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $8.24 as of 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The gain was the largest among the 12 companies in the Standard & Poor's Supercomposite Homebuilding Index, which increased 0.1 percent.
The first-quarter results were "somewhat encouraging," Vincent Foley and Cedric Morris, analysts with Barclays Capital Inc. in New York, said in a research note. "Operating trends were better than expected, particularly as it relates to new orders."
Net new orders rose to 4,345 homes from 4,320 a year earlier and the cancellation rate decreased to 16 percent from 18 percent. Revenue slipped to $805.2 million from $1.02 billion.
Tax Credit
The builder's year-ago sales were boosted by a government tax incentive for homebuyers, valued at as much as $8,000, that ended in April 2010. Builders have struggled as tighter lending, unemployment near 9 percent and competition from lower-priced foreclosures reduce demand. Purchases of new houses were at an annual pace of 300,000 last month, close to the record low of 270,000 in February, the Commerce Department said April 25.
"Housing is profoundly weak and most of the builders, Pulte included, serve the entry and mid-level market so there's a lot of competition there," Vicki Bryan, senior bond analyst for Gimme Credit LLC in New York, said before the report.
Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook for PulteGroup on April 21 to stable from positive while saying the builder's greater "size, scale and diversification" after its August 2009 purchase of Centex Corp. will be a benefit when the industry begins to turn.
"The change in outlook back to stable from positive reflects Moody's expectation that both Pulte's improvement in operating performance and the homebuilding industry's return to a more normal operating environment will take longer to materialize than had earlier been anticipated," the ratings company said.

The Bisexual Resource Center was founded in 1985 by a group of bi activists after a regional conference. First named the East Coast Bisexual Network, it became a 501(c)3 in 1989 and was renamed in the mid-90s. The BRC is the oldest national bi organization in the U.S. that advocates for bisexual visibility and raises awareness about bisexuality throughout the LGBT and straight communities.
The Bisexual Resource Center envisions a world where love is celebrated, regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression. Because bisexuals today are still misunderstood, marginalized and discriminated against, the BRC is committed to providing support to the bisexual community and raising public awareness about bisexuality and bisexual people.
March with the BRC at Pride!
New Resource Guide on Covering Bi+ Community
Boost the bi+ visibility in Boston Pride by marching through the city streets with the BRC and the gorgeous 45-foot bi pride flag! This year's bi theme is "Be(e) Heroes" to honor our bi icons and to use our "super powers" to celebrate our bi+ community. Costumes, bi t-shirts and festive wear are encouraged. Stay tuned to BRC channels for exact location to meet in Copley Square on Saturday, June 11th. March sets off at noon and ends at Government Center.
In April, GLAAD, in association with the BRC, BiNet USA, and Bisexual Organizing Project, released a new resource guide to help journalists
to more accurately report on the bisexual community and the differences between individuals within the community.

Monthly Bi Social & Support Group
Bi Community Mourns Dr. Farajaje
BLiSS meetings are an opportunity for those who are, or think they might be, bisexual or attracted to people of more than one sex or gender, to discuss a wide range of issues related to attraction and sexuality in a supportive mixed-gender environment. BLiSS is a peer-facilitated drop-in support group on the 1st Wednesday of the month, 7-9 pm, at the Boston Living Center, 29 Stanhope St, Boston.
From The Windy City Times obituary: "Black bisexual activist Dr. Ibrahim Abdurrahmani Farajaje - the provost and professor of cultural studies at the Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California - died February 9th at age 63. BiNet USA co-founder Lani Ka'ahumanu said in a statement, "One of our dearest most brilliant, fierce, outspoken, loving, gentle, and fun/ny queer bisexual beings—The Reverend Dr. Ibrahim Farajaje—has passed."

In Drupal 7 I want to have a site that has distinct sections with a left navigation menu that switches based upon the page you are on. For example I want to have a top level nav that takes you to a section, and then in that section the menu is unique for it. I'm assuming I have to create a theme function in my template.php file to handle this. Can someone give me an idea of how to start coding this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I'm not 100% sure I follow you but if I do then you could do this with the Menu Block module - http://drupal.org/project/menu_block
If you're talking about levels:
If you've got a menu with multiple levels but only want to show say the 2nd level on pages where the parent item has a 2nd level then you go to structure -> blocks -> new menu block and the select the menu you want, what menu level to start the menu from and then add it where you want as a regular block.
An example is:
Your main menu will show just menu items at level one.
Your menu block will be set to just start from level two, so if you were on Menu item 2's page, your menu block would display the second level menu items.
If you're not talking about levels:
You can make separate menu blocks and then set them to only appear on certain pages by going to the block's visibility settings, then typing the node alias of the page you want it to appear on and select "Only the listed pages" from the radio buttons.
Instead of using @SpaceBeers suggestion, I would resolve your problem using Context:
As a plus, because Contexts are exportables, you can package them up into a Feature, commit that Feature into your source control repository, and deploy that to your DEV, QA and PROD boxes without having to manually copy the menu/block positioning settings from server to server. In other words, the Context + Features solution will provide for a more robust and scalable solution in the long run.

I am after an open source tool to monitor the network traffic of a small lan. I thought of wireshark but the amount of details it captures is massive. What I need is just a basic analysis of the network traffic by protocol, host, etc. I am going to run this in an old box with windows xp.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
closed as off-topic by HopelessN00b Jan 26 '15 at 0:36
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Try NTop, it is simple, open source and multiplatform.
you still want Wireshark, and a bundle of filters to hide everything you're not interested in.
Capture filter will not capture the stuff you don't want, keeping log sizes down; Display filters will let you view the captured data easier and still drill-down into it, if (when) necessary.
There are tutorials, and I found the Wireshark docs to be very good.
Try TCPMon . This is a small java utility and shows few netweok activity bettwen the host and server.
This works fine on Windows Machine . You may try and see on Linux or Mac .
Wireshark, ntop, iptraf and such like are useful for investigating problems but not suitable for monitoring your network. You might want to have a google for MRTG, PasTMon, Nagios, Cacti, Scrutinizer, Argus

(PHOENIX, AZ) -- I just received this news. At 12:45am on Saturday Feb 14, my manager on duty at the club (Mother Hen) received a very special Valentine from the City of Phoenix hand delivered by police officers.
It was a citation alleging that on Jan 24, 2004 at 10:37 pm, one of our dancers allowed her nude breasts to cum in contact with a customers clothed chest and genitals, that her nude buttocks came in contact with a customers clothed genitals, and that her knee came in contact with the clothed genitals of a customer. The citation further states that the manager on duty did nothing to prevent this illegal activity... The club has ten days to request a hearing.
The above information was issues by Stevi Secret. Further information Stevi would like known is that fans and customers should not worry. They pride themselves with a legal establishment and take great pains to obey the law. The club will continue giving Phoenix the great LEGAL fun you have come to expect.
In a conversation this afternoon Stevi Secret said, "This is a typical example of the Phoenix government harassing free speech businesses. We have a sherif on the rampage and a city government out of control! They've been arresting [people at] swinger's clubs and strip clubs - it's an election year and they're pandering to the conservative crowd. I've been in this type of business a long time and I've dealt with similar situations in the past. Don't worry, come in to the club and have a good time!"
The dancer who was involved with the alleged incident is known to be one of the more conservative dancers named Shug. With that, and other events that night happening at the same time, there seems to be more to the story than has yet been revealed.
Stevi also indicated the DJ [referred to here as "The DJ"] had a unique perspective on the events leading up to the citing. Here is some of what went on in his own words:
"This is the DJ. I was there that night. After dinner [and a hard day of work], I get tired. I fell asleep in the back, while Mom did the DJ. I got woke up by Mom yelling "Security!" I got up and saw Mike close to blows with heavy set, built stocky guy. We don't have trouble, but this guy was problems. I yelled at him. Get Out or I'll Call the Fucking Cops the guy and Mike, headed out. I went back got my shoes went in the store. No Mike, no customer.
"In the parking lot, Mike was dukin' it out with the guy! Holy Shit, I ran outside yelled again I Told you To Get the Fuck Out of Here or I'll Call the Fucking Cops! Mike and him stopped fighting the guy left. I watched him down the street.
"Back in the store, I asked Mike what happened. Mike goes into this long story about the guy threatening to rape the girls, smash windows, burn down the building Then he crossed the line and started calling Mike some "colorful" names. (Mike is Black.)
"Later that night, the guy comes back with a baseball bat looking for Mike but he was gone home. This all happened around 10-10:30. I took the DJ while Mom iced Mike's hand. Somewhere right around when they said the violation happened Mom retook the DJ.
"This means when we had the problem with this dangerous fuck, the Cops were there! They didn't do shit to stop it. This guy was out of control and they did nuthin! They just sat there. Ten minutes later they are writing up Shug and Mom. I'm pissed, man! Fuckin' Cops!"
Shug, the dancer cited, plead not guilty to the charge. More on this story as it unfolds.

SCIPIO trial in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy found that treatment also reduces infarct size.[© vishnukumar - Fotolia.com]
Initial data from the first ever trial to evaluate autologous cardiac stem cell (CSC) transplants in humans suggests that the treatment improves left ventricular (LV) systolic function by an average of 12% over one year, and reduces infarct size in patients with severe heart failure due to ischemic heart disease. The trial investigators say the results triple the 4% average improvement that they had projected and calls for the start of larger Phase II trials.
Stage A of the ongoing open-label Phase I SCIPIO (Stem Cell Infusion in Patients with Ischemic cardiOmyopathy) study, by investigators at the University of Louisville and Brigham and Women's Hospital, is evaluating CSC transplantation in patients with severe heart failure secondary to ischemic cardiomyopathy. The target population includes patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), had LV ejection fraction (EF) of less than or equal to 40%, and a previous myocardial infarction.
Treated patients were administered with about a million autologous CSCs by intracoronary infusion, at a mean of 113 days after CABG. To generate the cardiac stem cells, tissue from the right atrial appendage was harvested from the patients at the time of CABG, and CSCs were isolated and expanded at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Data from 14 of 16 patients assigned to the treatment group, and seven from the control group (best supportive care), have now been published in The Lancet to coincide with data presentation at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions meeting in Orlando, FL. The reported data showed that autologous CSC transplantation led to an increase in LVEF from 30.3% before CSC infusion to 38.5% at four months after infusion. In contrast, the LVEF of seven control patients didn't change over eight months. The benefits of CSC transplantation was even more pronounced at one year in eight evaluated patients, for whom LVEF increased by 12.3 ejection fraction units compared with baseline. In the seven treated patients evaluated using MRI, infarct size was also shown to have decreased by 24% at 4 months, and 30% at one year.
The trial has been led by Roberto Bolli, M.D., at the University of Louisville and Piero Anversa, Ph.D., at Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston. "The results are striking," Dr. Bolli states. "While we do not yet know why the improvement occurs, we have no doubt now that ejection fraction increased and scarring decreased. If these results hold up in future studies, I believe this could be the biggest revolution in cardiovascular medicine in my lifetime."
The published paper in The Lancet is titled "Cardiac stem cells in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (SCIPIO): initial results of a randomised Phase I trial."

Tokyo stocks opened 0.88 percent higher on Tuesday as the yen continued to drop after the bank of Japan's aggressive monetary easing.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which closed above 13,000 for the first time since August 2008 on the previous day, added 116.54 points to 13,309.13 at the start.
The benchmark index may rise to 13,500 as the yen continues to weaken, said Kenichi Hirano, market analyst at Tachibana Securities.
"The dollar/yen may rise above 100," he said. "Spanish and Italian government bond yields are falling as well. The yen is weakening and stock gains are likely to continue gradually," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
The yen has fallen to its lowest level since May 2009 against the dollar after the Bank of Japan announced bold monetary easing steps last week.
The dollar was at 99.64 yen in early trade, up from 99.36 yen in New York Monday afternoon, and the euro soared to 129.48 yen from 129.23 yen.
Against the dollar, the European common currency was at $1.3033 compared with $1.3005 in US trade.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 14,613.48, up 48.23 points or 0.33 percent on Monday in anticipation of the earnings season, which kicks off this week.

CIPA's line of Day/Night mirrors are the perfect replacement for your factory installed mirror. This 8 inch mirror attaches to the windshield on a swivel mount, and can be tilted to reduce the brightness and glare of headlights shining directly at eye level. The front and rear internal faces of the Day/Night mirror glass are not parallel to one another, allowing a manual tab adjustment to switch between day and night positions. In the day position, the front face is slanted and the reflective back-side provides a strong reflection. When in the night position, its reflective rear face is slanted out of line of the driver's sight. Since the non-reflective front allows the majority of the light to pass through, only a tiny amount of light is reflected into the driver's eyes. This means an increase in both safety and comfort at a fraction of dealer costs.
For over 50 years, Crown Automotive has been the leading manufacturer and distributor of replacement parts for Jeep® vehicles. With over 8,000 different part numbers, including many factory-discontinued items, we offer you exceptional quality that is only matched by an exceptional warranty.
Our mirrors are manufactured to original equipment specifications. This makes installation easy because you can use existing mounting holes and hardware. CJ mirror arms come with bushings.
Direct OE replacement Jeep parts and accessories built to the original specifications by Omix-ADA. Limited five year manufacturer's warranty.

Skip to comments.OH Supreme Court rules in John Husted's favor
Posted on 10/07/2009 5:56:34 AM PDT by LS
At last night's central committee meeting, John Husted announced that the OH Supreme Court, by a 7-0 vote, had declared his residency in Kettering valid and legal, ending all Dem attempts to keep him from running for SoS. He also said he had been approached by high-level Dems with a deal to let him run unopposed for Treasurer, but of course the goal is to get Jennifer Brunner out.
Great news!
In my opinion Jennifer Brunner needs to go to jail. At the very least she should be investigated for assisting in voter fraud. Before the presidential election Brunner disabled the link to the DMV so that voters identifications could not be checked. She did this on her own. She had no REAL explanation. I don't know what kind of deal she must have made with "the powers that be", but I find it interesting how she actually believes she can win any campaign with so much water under her bridge. She must have been promised a few extra voters of her own.
Here is an exerpt from an article regarding some of Brunners shenanigans from The Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A federal court has ruled that an Ohio county must allow same-day voting and registration
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) An Ohio county must allow new voters to register and cast an absentee ballot on the same day during a weeklong period that begins Tuesday, a federal judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Judge James Gwin in Cleveland issued a temporary restraining order forcing Madison County to follow Secretary of State Jennifer Brunners instructions.
Ohio law requires voters to be registered for at least 30 days before they cast an absentee ballot. Republicans have said Ohio law doesnt allow same-day registration and voting, and have accused Brunner, a Democrat, of reading a partisan interpretation into law to benefit her own party.
No other challenges to it? The SOS are in a position to throw an election—see WA state. Bush refused to get involved according to the Evergreen Foundation! The voters will have to elect better people by putting in candidates who have some spine and then back the candidate. The voter fraud will be there in the cities—until the rolls are checked. The "same day" is a ruse to bus in from other states.
Wasn't Brunner involved in Joe the Plumber leaks of government information?
While John has been accused of not pushing tax cuts hard enough, I don't think ANYONE here thinks he is not a bare-knuckle brawler when it comes to this stuff. In his speech last night, he sternly vowed to eliminate junk like registering people who sleep on park benches; and if Mike DeWine (I know, I know) gets AG, I think there would be an aggressive move to slam ACORN. I didn't hear any "get along with the Dems" last night.
Precisely! There is so much work to be done so that no other elections can be stolen. Problem is, the whole of Ohio government is democratic and very corrupt at all levels. That is precisely why, after all of the things Brunner has done, she still believes she has a chance.
Yes!!! That was one of her "babies".
"He also said he had been approached by high-level Dems with a deal to let him run unopposed for Treasurer, but of course the goal is to get Jennifer Brunner out."
Let him run unopposed for Treasurer?
The idea was that Husted would not have a Dem opponent for Treas., and if that was the case, Mandel would be forced to bow out.
Right. What I meant was that the goal was to get the SoS office in the hands of a Republican for redistricting.
Ohio ping!
After the 2000 presidential election and the media in the pockets of the Marxist, there isn't any doubt why W refused to get involved.
THE PEOPLE needed to get involved. The government (local, state and Federal) are "WE THE PEOPLE".
When are people going to stop blaming W and look in the mirror? Another pass the buck and blame others episode continues...
So many names, so many offices. Husted kept talking about Brunner so much the other night I forgot he wasn't running against her.
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation wasn't interested enough in the election to get rid of Gregoire. They had all the information they needed to expose major corruption by her and her supporters, but refused to expose it because it would have also ensnared some of their buddies in the GOP and on the Washington Supreme Court. Rossi also had the very same information during both of his campaigns, so one has to question just how interested he was in ridding Olympia of corruption.
Seriously??? This is what the Ohio GOP is offering? DeWHine as AG and Kasich as gov? I really need to get out of this state!
And your beef with Kasich is?
If we are to make any progress moving our state and our country forward, we need to quit recycling professional politicians like Kasich and DeWHine.
Honestly, I'm only now starting to look at Kasich and his record. My initial reaction to him is based solely on watching him on FOX a few years ago and thinking, why on earth am I watching this guy, before turning him off for good.
He had 18 years in CONgress and DeWine had 12. Isn't that enough? They had their shot and now have their hefty pensions, at my expense, to live off. Why give them more? Are they not part of the problem? Did they not help push Ohio to where it is today?
I would rather vote for you for Governor -- or AG -- than either of them. If I'm wrong in my initial gut reaction, please feel free to educate me. The general consensus of those I've spoken with around here appears to be, he/they are better than what we have now or who else is there to run. Another "lesser of evils" election is my interpretation.
Again, this is just my gut reaction and/or opinion. This is the first I've spoken publicly about the choices.
Kasich had a terrific record as one of 435 congressmen. Don't know how much more he could do. DeWine had a fantastic record up to about 2002---his ACU lifetime rating was 96. Now, come on. Up until the gang of 14 and some of the other lunacy he got involved in, he was exceptional. 100% pro-life, good on taxes, supportive of the WoT, solid GOP vote on most issues. He had the horrible ANWR vote that cost us ANWR, literally, and he went soft on guns and along with his tin ear for the electorate, it cost him his seat in 2006. But if you looked at DeWine in 2000, you'd say, well, this guy is pretty much what we need.
Yes, she's running and as of the last poll, Rob Portman was slightly ahead of her, and Fischer (don't know which one will win the primary).
I see everything you just wrote here and understand what you are saying. HOWEVER ...
Only people with terrific name recognition have a chance.
That means celebrities, sports stars, or professional pols who can get their name in the papers all the time.
... adding in the money factor you mentioned and all we are left with is the same old same old. Well, if that is getting real, I pass.
Apparently I have been naive in thinking the American people had finally woke up and will no longer accept the status quo. If what you have said is indeed the mind set of the controlling authority, I will not waste anymore of my time, energy and money going to Tea Party's and other such meetings.
Did you happen to see the old Cheers episode last night?
It was the episode where Dr. Craine conducted an experiment by running Woody Boyd, the bartender, for Boston City Council. He bet the bar patrons he could get Woody 10% of the vote by doing nothing more than entering his name on the ballot and printing up a few posters, placing them in strategic spots around the city.
That is what we need to do. Run "Joe the Plumber" types using a truly grassroots organization to make phone calls, go door to door, write letters, call radio stations, blog etc. etc. As you said, not to mention MONEY, to run for any office is outrageous.
It is outrageous and that would be a great campaign issue -- fiscal responsibility begins with me!
With the economic condition we are in currently, and God only knows what it will be next year, this is the perfect time to change course and give us real hope.
There is talk about a class action lawsuit against her for participating in the fraudulent election last year, but that is all it appears to be...talk.
Moreover, there IS something to be said for having won a lower office and proven yourself. Even baseball players work their way up through the minors. It's ridiculous to think "I'm just going to be a U.S. Senator." Hence, Al Franken. (He, btw, proves my thesis that name recognition alone can win a race).
There is no such thing in American politics as "revolutionary change." Jackson's "revolution was eight years in the making. The American Revolution was ten years in the making. Even Newt's 1994 Revolution had been bubbling for about five or six years. This is of course part of the genius of the FOUNDERS---they wanted it that way. But that means that undoing crap takes at least as long via incremental change, and now the Founders' vision works against us. So, we have to overcome that as well, but it can be done.
At any rate, I like Kasich, not just "don't dislike him." I think he will be an excellent governor. And I like Rob Portman a lot.
Ihope both win and have the chance to investigate what went on in 2006! Jennifer Brunner should be sitting in a jail somewhere and prevented from ever holding office again!
Exactly. And I think both will indeed pursue that. But just in case, I plan to have a little talk with Husted and DeWine.
What is done every election -- Ordinary Joes?
The point is to work for them, not the establishment pick.
You never heard of the 2 guys before, but did you like what what you heard from them? Would you be willing to support them with your time, energy and money?
Moreover, there IS something to be said for having won a lower office and proven yourself.
Hence the usurper squatting in the People's House!
Two years as a US SINator is not a qualification for POTUS.
...undoing crap takes at least as long via incremental change
So the answer is to elect less rinoish candidates with each election until we have something resembling a republican and eventually perhaps close to a conservative, thus slowing the drive to communism, but not halting it?
And I like Rob Portman a lot.
So do I!
Still researching Kasich.
Where are you getting that figure?
According to the ACU website, his lifetime rating in 2002 was 83%. However, if you add their figures for his 8 years and divide by 8 you get a lifetime rating of 77%. The same is true of his entire recorded lifetime rating of 79.8%. When you divide their own numbers by 12 you get a lifetime rating of 74.7%
Mike DeWine NEVER had a rating of 96...not even for one year out of 12. He had a 95 in 2002 -- his only year even close to 90%. 2 years he received an 85, 1 year at 84 and 1 year at 80. 5 out 12 years...the rest were in the 60s and 70s with 2005 @ 56.
Hm. Could have sworn he was higher. But you have to admit that an 85-86 is pretty darn high. But I admit his post-2002 votes were horrible, and said so.
Obama is not what I call experienced, nor is experience alone a qualification for staying in office, or attaining higher office. It is a DISqualification for a higher office if you can't show that you've ever done anything at any level to represent others. Hence, problems such as those seen with Schwarzenegger and Ventura.
Perhaps if you are referring to a DemonRAT or a Republican, but certainly not for a Conservative.
It is all irrelevant anyway since we are discussing DeWine and he never came anywhere close to 85-86.
Mike DeWine's ACU lifetime rating = 74.9 to 79.8
depending on whose figures you use.
Sounds pretty good,but could use something more objective rather than subjective.Do you have an actual record of his votes?

China Overnight Money Rate Rises Most Since June on Cash Crunch
China's overnight money-market rate rose the most in eight weeks on speculation a cash shortage will worsen as the central bank refrains from lowering reserve requirements for major lenders.
The People's Bank of China has gauged demand for seven- and 14-day reverse-repurchase operations tomorrow, according to a trader required to bid at the auctions. The nation's financial institutions sold 3.8 billion yuan ($597 million) more foreign currency than they bought in July, the first net sales since April, PBOC data showed yesterday, suggesting capital outflows.
"Reverse repos are still not enough to maintain loose liquidity," said Wang Huane, a senior bond trader at Qilu Bank Co. in Jinan, capital of the eastern Shandong province. "The liquidity outlook is also not good because of declining capital inflows."
The one-day repurchase rate, which measures interbank funding availability, gained 45 basis points to 3.14 percent as of 4:30 p.m. in Shanghai, the biggest increase since June 20, according to a weighted average rate compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center.
The PBOC also asked banks to submit orders for an auction of 91-day repurchase agreements tomorrow, according to the trader.
Bonds Decline
The finance ministry sold 30.06 billion yuan of five-year bonds at an average yield of 2.95 percent, according to a trader at a finance company that participates in government debt auctions. That compared with the 2.89 percent median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The highest winning-bid yield at the sale was 3.02 percent and the auction drew bids for 1.27 times the amount offered, the trader said.
The one-year swap contract, the fixed cost needed to receive the floating seven-day repurchase rate, rose three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.88 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The yield on the 3.14 percent government bonds due February 2017 advanced six basis points to 2.95 percent, according to the Interbank Funding Center.

Bob Arum, the promoter for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO's), revealed to the NY Daily News on Tuesday that he's working on a deal between Pacquiao and WBO light welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KO's) for them to face each other next on November 22nd in Macao, China.
Arum has complained in the past that Pacquiao's declining pay-per-view numbers are a product of boxing fans being fatigued from too many PPV events that aren't worthy of being put on PPV. Well, I think that the fight that he's trying to make between his fighter Pacquiao and Algieri is a perfect example of a fight that arguably doesn't belong on pay-per-view.
I imagine that if you were put Arum's feet to the fire, he'd agree with you that Pacquiao-Algieri is not a PPV worthy fight, and that it's more of a regular HBO fight, if not a regular ESPN2 level attraction. But don't count on Arum putting it on regular HBO, because that's not going to happen in a million years. This fight will clearly be sold on PPV, and it'll be up to the boxing public whether they want to pay to watch the mismatch or not.
But Arum is obviously making a huge mistake in selecting Algeiri for the fight instead of someone more popular, because Arum is likely going to discover quickly that the fans have no interest in watching this mismatch, at least not when they're being asked to shell out $70 to see Pacquiao destroy a guy with even less power and less of a chance of winning than Pacquiao's last opponent Tim Bradley.
Pacquiao-Algieri will be lucky if it brings in 400,000 PPV buys. It's going to be funny to see Arum trying to explain why the fight failed to bring in a lot of buys after the face. I'm guessing Arum will say it's because of the public's antipathy to the monthly PPV events on cable, but the reality is that boxing fans simply don't see this fight as a PPV worthy match-up, and as such, they'll likely wait until the fight is televised on regular HBO a week later rather than pay $70 to watch a one-sided fight.

Adding taskpad views and tasks
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Adding taskpad views and tasks
Before you add taskpad views and tasks to a console, determine how many taskpad views you need. If you need multiple taskpad views, you also need to determine how the tasks are divided among those views. In addition, you should decide what kind of taskpad view you want to use--one that displays a list and tasks, or one that displays tasks only.
To create a taskpad view for a console, the console must contain at least one snap-in. Use the New Taskpad View wizard to configure the titles, headings, and lists that appear in the taskpad view, and to define whether a taskpad view is associated with a single item or multiple items in the console tree.
After you complete the New Taskpad View wizard, use the New Task wizard to add tasks to the taskpad view. Tasks can include menu commands for the items in the console, as well as commands that are run from a command prompt. Create commands to act on part of the console tree or details pane, or to open another component on your computer. However, if you create a task from a menu command for an item in the console tree, and then you remove that item, the task is disabled.
For information about creating and editing taskpad views and tasks, see Create a taskpad view in a saved MMC console, Create tasks for a taskpad view in saved MMC console, Edit a taskpad view in a saved MMC console, and Edit tasks in a taskpad view in a saved MMC console.

Tuning characteristics of multicontact passively mode-locked distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) semiconductor lasers are investigated in terms of center wavelengths and pulse repetition frequencies. It is shown that the center wavelength of the pulses can be tuned over a wide range by changing the refractive index of the Bragg reflector section either by means of carrier injection or by thermal effects while maintaining the pulses to be nearly transform-limited. Tuning of the pulse repetition rates is realized by using four different approaches, i.e., current injection to a passive phase-control section, varying of the reverse bias to the absorber, varying of the injection current to the gain region, and thermal effects. Injecting current into the phase-control region results in a tuning range of more than 400 MHz while maintaining the pulses at transform-limited condition. Varying the reverse bias voltage to the absorber is shown to be an alternative to achieve large repetition rate tuning, by which a tuning range of 600 MHz is obtained. By combining these tuning schemes, a total tuning range of more than 1 GHz is realized
