Maybe you should have waited to post something until after they called you back. Because you just told us absolutely nothing.
Pretty much.
C'mon. ECB was sick yesterday and we had to listen to her accuse us all of driving drunk so she could continue her support of Venus. Maybe (hopefully) ECB woke up feeling better this morning and decided to be a reporter and actually report on this issue vs. vomit back campaign spin.
Y'know, I got all my pissed-about-drunky-horseshit rage out on the last post. Will someone volunteer to give me a good list of pragmatic reasons I should vote for Velasquez, even though my respect for her is currently about even with Ken Hutcherson?
I'm open.
I heard that ECB had malaria and TB.
I'll get back to you in a week when I check to see if it's true ...
My vote on this Venus is still undecided, but it doesnt make much difference anyway. One vote doesnt make much difference in the grand scheme of things. The real power lies in the ability to sway other voters. By this standard, the Stranger wields a considerable amount of power. But, as Lord Acton would agree that responsibility comes as a side dish. Many voters wont do much more than read your endorsements, complete their ballot and toss it in the mail. It isnt necessarily because they are sheeple, it probably has more to do with the fact that politics is pretty boring and they trust your judgement.
Venus Vasquez put you into an awful position by getting arrested for driving drunk a matter of hours after you gave her your endorsement. This really sucks and whether or not it is indicative of the kind of person she is or the kind of leader she would be, I am more disappointed in the reaction to it than anything else. In the same week that you admonish one council member for his drinking, you take the position that drinking and driving is OK because, who hasnt done it? Rather than come out and give me reasons to still vote for her, you point to your unchanging endorsement (apparently the other guy says dumb stuff like, Does someone smell soothing in here and that is reason enough to vote against him). This seems to indicate a situation where basically Erica, Dave and the rest of the Stranger staff had already just made up their minds about something and refuse to change it, facts be damned.
On a city council race, thats fine. Who really cares?
Screw up all the city council endorsements you want. But on something as important as improving our infrastructure, please dont keep fucking the city. Please help people make some progress solving our problems instead of making decisions based on myopic bias in lieu of facts. Fuck the Venus thing up all you want, but PLEASE revisit your endorsement on roads and transit.
Here's a quickly compiled list of reasons to support Venus from The Stranger, Times, PI and Venus:
her goals include:
- improving public education
- focusing city investment in working-class neighborhoods like South Park
- She's pro-density in the urban core
- is for housing that's affordable to lower-middle-class people, who are poorly served by existing housing programs.
- she wants to develop a surface/transit viaduct option that includes rapid transit"not just mass transit"and doesn't displace the working waterfront
- she is against the Mayor's Nightclub License (Harrell is for it)
- She wants full-time bus lanes on Third Avenue through downtown
- supports funding for 250 new new police officers
- She wants to see the city create a land bank for nonprofit low-income housing developers and tax incentives for middle-income family housing
- she will make sure our firefighters have the tools they need to protect us and additionally is a huge backer of MEDIC ONE, King County's emergency medical response system
- Compared to Harrell Venus will do more to actively support public education, create an inclusive and strong economy and give families compelling reasons to stay in the city.
- Venus will push for a 10-year plan that outlines our citywide priorities and the funding mechanisms required to pay for them.
- She will work with parents and community leaders to ensure that the Families and Education Levy resources help create a quality school in every neighborhood and connect parents with their schools.
- she supports a cap on payday loan interest rates
- she will work to get Ballard long-promised parks and amenities to mitigate the effects of rapid growth
Velazquez will be a forceful, independent, effective voice on the council. She is the opinionated hard worker we need on the Council
Bruce Harrell, Velazquez's opponent...mouths platitudes about the issues ("these are all issues we're grappling with") but doesn't offer solutions ("I want to be sort of a thought leader, a bridge builder"). Yes, the city is "too expensive to live in," but what are you going to do about it? When he gets specific, his proposals range from questionable to bizarre. He appears to believe the police have enough accountability (it was really hard to pin him down on the question) and says the council's job isn't to be "a fact finder" on disputed police-misconduct cases. In the bizarre category, Harrell suggested during our interview that people who have committed misdemeanors and first-time felonies serve as security and litter patrol outside bars.He was also vague about affordability, suggesting that people need to make more money and reminiscing about how he saved money by having lots of roommates in college. (The Stranger)
Really, you guys should just stop digging that hole right now. It just gets deeper.
- And she can drink Harrell under the table.
Is the Stranger going to get the cop video so we can see the slurred speech and glass eyes?
My bet is she flirted with him as well, as does every woman to beat the rap
Oh, Big Strong Officer, rolling the eyes and throwing her shoulders back ....
What say Erica ... video?
7. Filibustering will get you nowhere.
She drove drunk... badly, and then tried to deny it when caught. I don't care what your stance on nightlife and density is... this is a person that just showed that she can't be trusted to maintain integrity on a basic level.
Freddy - your meathead mentality and sexist comment goes well with your candidate Harrell. Were you in a Republican fraternity with him at UW? Pig.
Although I must admit I really don't like Harrell, and think his presence on the council will be regrettable, Venus has taken what's already a bad situation and fumbled it even further.
I am enjoying watching the Stranger's glasshouse contortions, tho. Scold McIver on his alcohol use one week, then say it doesn't matter for Velasquez the next.
At least we know Venus will be supporting better transit while on the council.
So Venus is a drunk. Big deal. Isn't drunkeness a prerequisite on the City Council?
A joke:
Q. Why was Venus driving so fast when she was drunk?
A. Because she had to get home and choke McIver's wife.
Question to the issue of Forward Seattle.
How can a PR firm / PAC or whatever you want to call them give that much money to a candidate? Aren't there contribution limits?
So now Joe Quintana can buy Councilmembers?
They run an "indedpendent" campaign without coordination with her campaign. First amendment prevents stopping "speech" and political ads are speech. While campaign contributions have been limited legally to campaigns, this is not the case with Political Action Groups.
No we don't, Will. She has no track record because she has no formal lawmaking experience. And we don't know which of her big-interests have her ear the most. So how can we take for granted that she will support transit legislation?
And go figure this happened because she was driving, i.e. not using transit in the first place.
Yet you think she'll stump for transit. Right.
Ooh. Formal lawmaking experience.
Like that matters.
Most of what city council does is do 9-0 votes anyway.
As we all know.
And most of their work is zoning regulations.
But, hey, pretend all those council resolutions on Peace matter - cause they don't.
Venus is pro-transit in general and pro-surface transit option on the waterfront. She's been clear on this. If you want transit in Seattle, vote for her.
She's also pro same sex marriage. Anyone ever ask Harrell where he is on that issue?
@7, instead of pushing for full-time bus lanes down 3rd, she should push for full-time bumper lanes down Market.
Seriously, though, stop digging. I'm sure she intends to do all these fantastic things once she's elected (if she's elected), but how will she accomplish them all if she's drunk? After all, she can't even seem to drive a car after a few drinks, something that -- according to Ms. Barnett -- most people have done in their lifetimes.
@18, agree. It's not like she was drinking in the Issaquah Highlands or Magnolia. She was in Ballard, which happens to be one of the better-served areas in terms of transit.
(Notwithstanding the whiny Stranger article last week featuring Capitol Hill expats who moved to the "wilds" of Ballard. The horror!)
19. Your attempt at a parallel crackback failed, but thanks for trying.
I probably don't agree with Bruce Harrell on a lot of issues. I also know that he probably wouldn't get liquored up, speed down Ballard while swerving across lanes, lie to the cop about it etc.... shit, I need to make up an acronym for the whole spiel, since I keep having to bring it up, since everyone keeps conveniently forgetting all this.
Before this happened, I did not like this race because I didn't like either candidate. And now at this point, it's about whether or not the public and the pundits are going to overlook a grievous act of social irresponsibility... by a person who is running for a position of social responsibility.
Again, I've learned a lot about several of you in discussing this the last couple of days, and what I learned isn't good.
Gomez, I think you are a bit on the crazy side often times, so your thoughts on me matter not. However, if you are going to support Harrell, do you care about issues around marriage equality? What if you found out Harrell was part of an organization that actively campaigns against same-sex marriage, would that influence your vote?
Hey, everyone needs to calm down here. Relax. Have a drink. Venus, what are you having?
Meinert, if calling out people for being hypocrites is crazy, then I'm crazy like a fox. As far as I'm concerned, this race has always been a choice between two finely polished pieces of shit.
After this, I'm led to side with the piece of shit that doesn't make stupid legal decisions in front of a police officer. I don't like Harrell, but I didn't like either candidate in the first place and don't feel either is a good choice, but these are the choices we're stuck with. I'm not voting for someone who clearly exercises poor judgment on a basic level, because how can I trust that person to exercise good judgment on a larger level?
And to humor your red herring for a moment: at what point is Harrell's stance on same sex marriage even going to affect how the city coouncil does business in the first place? Even if we find out he's a hardcore bigot (which is far from likely), he's outnumbered on the council and there isn't any point where his POV would come into play anyway.
You're pounding the crap out of straw men to pump up your pet candidate. You need to seriously think about what you're saying.
Hey Meinert, what if I told you that the Stranger has already endorsed candidates in this election that were part of an organization that actively campagns against same-sex marriage, would you believe me?
Clint - no, because you'd be wrong.
Hmmm. Somehow I missed the pro-same-sex marriage position on Venus.
Cool, that makes it more fun to vote for her.
I wish I could edit these posts. Could you please ask them to change "candidates" to "candidate" and "were part of" to "made shitloads of money furthering the causes of". I'd hate to lose an argument over semantics.
@29, everything's more fun when you're drunk. Even driving.
Not only was Venus dumb enough to drive drunk, she was dumb enough to get caught. I only vote for candidates with an IQ greater than 80.
Meinert - whatever you are trying- don't think it will work. Here is the hot scoop/poop on Harrell and gay marriage.
I caught him on the phone, half hour ago, he was very adamant about his support for gay issues. Pointed out both Ed Murray and Joe McDermott have endorsed.
" I want the be the most pro gay straight guy the council has ever had."
He mentioned how happy he was when the Anderson-Murray bill passed in Olympia.
Repeated over and over he supports gay marriage 100 per cent.
He and Venus got the same rating from SEAMEC - and they are a tough group of raters. I saw him at two events recently in the gay community, looked like he was flourishing, totally at ease.
So, Meinert - what is the whisper all about?
@7-A lot of that seemed unrealistic and/or unspecific, but it is pretty convincing. Maybe I will vote for her. Even less enthusiastically than when I voted Kerry, but oh well.
@freddy- what mandy said, you fucko.
@15- Hahahaha! I really actually LOLed!
gomez@19-pretty convincing yourself. reminds me of why I decided to not vote for her before. Now I'm confused again.
@Everybody: Fuck it. I'm still not going to vote for either of them. Good luck Meinert- Your girl will need it like a muthafucka.
Meinert - Sadly, I don't even know where to start with you. I certainly hope you are not a representative from the Velazquez campaign, but given the tone of your rhetoric my guess is that you are somehow connected. So let me disclose my bias, Bruce Harrell is my uncle.
I have let pass a number of vicious remarks about Bruce because I know it is par for the course when people are in the public eye. However, you have crossed the line on trying to even insinuate that Bruce might be anti-gay. This sort of outright lie makes me angry because of how supportive he has been of me (out and proud for over 12 years), and of the gay community in general.
What is your point? What were you hoping to accomplish by trying to start these rumors? This city doesn't need more division. Your tactic reminds me of middle school. The idea that putting someone else down will make you feel better. Starting that bad rumor around the high school will make the other person less popular.
Congratulations. If you are representative of the candidate you support, Seattle should have a clear view of their choices for this election.
Kip - Good to hear about Bruce. He has a good chance of winning, and while I don't agree with him on some issues I have no intention of bad mouthing him. However, like Burgess needed to answer on the CWA, someone should, will, ask Bruce about his association with the First AME Church as their general counsel, which has done some great work (understatement) in the community (very much unlike the CWA) but is also mired in a controversy of anti-same sex marriage activism (at least nationally if not locally). The former pastor of the church in Seattle was involved in some sort of embezzlement scandal, though I don't know what role he played, but he also pissed off a bunch of members at the church in LA he moved to with some homophobic remarks. http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/news/fame.html - just something to look into. May be nothing. [tried to post this earlier but it didn't go up due to the spam filer - too many links. sorry to leave my whisper hanging, not fair to Bruce for sure. And no, I'm not part of Venus' campaign]
some interesting links:
The Rev. J. Edgar Boyd of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in San Francisco said he was disappointed to see black ministers support Bush exclusively on the same-sex marriage issue. "I don't think his stance on same-sex marriage makes him a hero," he said. "It just happens to be in accord with my stand and where the A.M.E. church stands." washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17057-2004Nov1.html
The Alliance for Marriage, the multifaith, multiethnic coalition that oversaw the drafting of the text for the constitutional amendment now before Congress, includes among its founders bishops from the African Methodist Episcopal Church . nytimes.com/2004/03/01/national/01CHUR.html?ex=1393477200&en=065edf70d816ee52&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND
More on the Church's position on same sex marriage - hrc.org/issues/4957.htm
Maybe Bruce will disassociate himself from the church like Burgess did from CWA. That would be good and then this is a non-issue. Or maybe the Seattle branch of this church is totally pro-gay marriage. No whisper campaign, just a question about his position on something. I was going to wait for others to do the research, but since you asked...
To go back to the original post - talk about throwing good money after bad. I can't say I'm weeping that Seattle's big bad new developer PAC is likely to wind up with a serious case of buyer's remorse...
Welcome to the Stranger's Election Control Board... where they tell you to vote wrong on every candidate and issue, save maybe I-67.
They defend drunk drivers, ridicule real progressives, and defend big business candidates across the board.
I've been to a few Stranger parties, and the reality is that they are defending Velazquez's DUI, because they are a bunch of drunks. Seriously, the Seattle police would do well to set up a roadblock outside next year's Genius Awards. Not many geniuses in the room, but plenty of drunks going out on the road after that one.
I didn't think the Stranger could discredit itself any more than it had in the past, but this year takes the cake.
You guys should run Venus as "Drunk of the week" next with her police mug shot. But of course you won't, because you have as much integrity as.... wait you have no integrity what am I saying.
Let's all remember how Mr. Savage supported the war, and also licked doorknobs that last major election cycle. Ha, you guys are less worthy of my time than the Seattle Sinner.
Check this out, it kinda sucks if you're a tiny/thin woman. Two drinks could send your ass over the limit if they're a generous pour And what do most people admit to when they're pulled over? Two drinks
I called Harrell's campaign line and asked him his stance on Gay marriage and he said: Of course I support gay marriage..."
Dave Meinert you are a liar. You're mean and manipulative too. Plus I heard you've had a couple of DUIs yourself.
ECB--you and the Stranger staff are hyppocrites. You've slammed McIver who pleaded not guilty but are giving Venus a buy because you're her friend.
Now I see why your paper has so little credibilty--because you're not objective and don't take seriously your responsibility to provide correct information.
Top this off with Tim Burgess who was right there drinking with her and the Fire Fighter chief who has endorsed them both. Makes me wonder about them all.
Go Bruce--I hope you savor this victory despite the assholes at the Stranger and mean-spirited despots like Dave Meinert.
Venus has lots of skeletons in her closet. I actually tried to tell ECB but she was too biased--or lazy to follow up on my tips.
FORWARD SEATTLE is not a business PAC. It is a group of fat-cats who have gotten together to manipulate the system. Joe Quintana (Latino) started the PAC and has partnered with Don Stark to raise money to buy a seat.
Venus was bankrupt and they bought her--plain and simple. Now they're getting what they deserve--losing the value of their investment.
Bootsy, you are obviously a friend of Bruce's and that's cool. Like all the candidates he seems like a fine person. I am not taking a position about his association with a church that helped draft the constitutional amendment to band same sex marriage, I am just asking him to explain. It's great if he supports same sex marriage. Very likely he has an explanation why he is the attorney for an organization which actively opposes it. But let's hear it. Other candidates have had to do so, this isn't an issue anyone should get a pass on.
For you to come in and call names and accuse me of having 2 dui's is silly. Wrong for sure as I have never had one, and makes you just look defensive, which is a bad look. If you don't think the stranger has no credibility then you wouldn't be here defending your candidate. No one has accused Bruce of anything, just asked a question that seems to have gone unanswered so far and instead has been met with name calling by his associates. Not a great campaign tactic.
dave meinert: i've been watching you on other posts and know you'll do everything you can to discredity harrell. this includes lying and throwing red herrings. you deserve no credibility because you're not trustworty.
you seem like a mean-spirited and nasty man. remind me never to do work with your film company.
monisha--you're right, if meinert is reflective of VV's campaign it's another reason not to vote for her.
now i hear you have had DUIs yourself so that helps to understand your lack of objectivity on this.
@42 - film company? DUI? Work for Venus? Wrong on all accounts. The more you Harrell folks avoid the question the more it looks like a question worth asking. I'll leave it at that. Other folks are looking into it already.
I don't know Harrell but am gay and needed to know the truth so I called his campaign line. He sounded like a good guy and is easy to talk to.
Asking Harrell to explain the stance of his church because he is the attorney for it is just another one of your red-herrings. VV is Catholic--are you going to ask her to explain the stance of her church?
See, this is why you're an ass-hole--because you'll look for anything to throw us off the track. As a gay all I care to know is where he stands--not his whole damn national church.
Word is that you've had 2 DUIs. Since you're lying on so many other things--let's see if you're as good a VV on lying your way out of this story.
The central question is the Forward Seattle PAC...
The issue is VV's DUI.
Please leave Meinert alone since he sounds like he's going to blow.
Worse--sounds like he's digging up dirt on Harrell's church...someone warn Bruce.
Thank heaven we only have 2 weeks left.
@43--sounds like you're part of a VV conspiracy group. who are the other people?
LOL. The last few posts are funny.
the news will be VV and her DUI for some time.
next will be her racism (listen to KIRO). Followed by Forward Seattle and their bad bet on her.
Other stories will be how she has gotten 11 tickets dismissed.
I got her mailer yesterday and couldn't even process her message because of the DUI. I think most voters are like me.
FORWARD SEATTLE should cut their losses while they're ahead.
Care to explain your "problem" at Seattle Center?
Now what did happen?
Jesus people get back on track. She blew .115, she should get out if the race!
Personally I am much more concerned that she will owe her political career to Joe Quintana and a hand full of others at Forward Seattle. Accepting that large of a contribution says 'you own my vote'. We just don't see that kind of blatant bankrolling at this level of campaigns. If you vote for Venus you might as well be giving Joe Quintana a seat on the council.
I don't disagree with everything Forward Seattle stands for but there main goal is to maximize profits for developers. I don't have a problem with developers making money (I think they should make nice profits) but I do believe that when the rules are changed and it makes them a lot of money b/c of those changes (developers make a ton of money on land use changes) they should have an obligation to return some of the profits for public reinvestments.
I worry about Venus owing Forward Seattle her seat.
How very bizarre this thread has become - thanks to Meinert.
Three (3) GLBT folks on this post, Kip-Bootsy-Monisha have all asserted from first hand knowledge that Bruce Harrell is cool on gay marriage, INCLUDING Monisha his out front lesbian niece. She is THE expert for me because that is sure fire truth, queer family members.
Yet Dave Meinert acting as hack for Venus has claimed he knows more about the issue than they do. How very queer, a straight guy who depends on liquor sponsors for his music events, smears OK gay friendly uncle, he who is very out front OK about and supportive of gay issues.
The Capitol Hill Block party is fine with me, but it is a giant cash cow gated beer blast.
Dave, your lenient stance on drunks and driving is fueled by your bank account.
It is not OK, she made a big mistake and that linked with the secret big money PAC stuff has destroyed her as a candidate.
But then, straight white men have always been more of an expert on homophobia than out lesbians and gay men in direct communication with the candidate, which candidate says "he wants to be the most gay friendly guy the council has ever had."
Sure Dave, sure. Give it up, quit the whisper smears and take your cues about homophobia from out fags and dykes, your lady friend is lost in a swamp of her own making. As they have said here, BURNT TOAST.

The new Animal Health Strategy (2007-2013): "prevention is better than cure"Conclusions and Actions following the DG SANCO 2006 Peer Review Group on Stakeholder Involvement
In June 2006, a Peer Review Group - chaired by Mr. Madelin - was established to assist DG SANCO in reviewing its experience concerning stakeholder involvement and to identify best practices and improvements to the existing consultation system.
It included a mixed representation of stakeholders affected by the different SANCO policy areas. Industry (federations and individual firms), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Member States as well as local and regional authorities were all represented in the group. In addition to stakeholders, the group also included experts on public participation.
The group met four times in the course of 2006 (13th June, 7th September, 11th October and 1st of December) and focused its work on four main issues: "Stakeholders & Inequalities" (WG A), "Feedback & Communication" (WG B), "Stakeholder Planning & Resources" (WG C) and "Comitology" (WG D).
The work of the Peer Review Group resulted in a series of recommendations, agreed by DG SANCO, to improve stakeholder involvement and participation. For more insight please read the report Updated 03-04-2007.

Having some audio driver issues with my HP laptop, it comes with beats audio. None of the effects in the manufacturer's control panel work, and I can't find music listenable on my headphones without a bass booster. If I uninstall the driver and use the generic Microsoft one, the sound works great and I can enable effects in the "enhancements" tab of the sound settings.
However, within the last few weeks, sometimes when I have headphones plugged in with the Microsoft driver I get no sound. If I unplug the headphones, the sound comes out of the speakers just fine. This doesn't happen with the manufacturer's driver. Any suggestions as to what I should do, allowing me to get the audio effects I want without weird compatibility issues?

Currently my OS is Ubuntu 13.10. I want to make a bootable USB with Windows 8 in it. I have the setup file of Windows 8 in my system, but it is not an ISO file. It is the extracted form of the ISO file. Is it possible to combine the setup files of the Windows 8 into an ISO image file ? If possible, how ?
You'll need
Creating the image
You need to create a bootable ISO. You'll probably have to select a boot file (for Windows 7 and likely 8, this is etfsboot.com). I used k3b to do this, but other programs support it and, in fact, I figured out how to do this largely thanks to a guide for a piece of Windows software. Here's what worked for me:
Formatting the flash drive
You'll need a flash drive with the first partition formatted to NTFS and large enough to contain the Windows disc (4GiB was more than sufficient even for my universal 32/64 bit Windows 7 installer and should be good for Windows 8 as well). I used GParted. Here's what worked for me:
Creating a bootable flash drive
You could actually do this in a few ways, but I used unetbootin (probably the easiest and most user friendly on Linux). Note that you will need to use an older version as recent ones have dropped support for NTFS formatted flash drives (build 494 should work). Here's what worked for me:
You can create it using the WinUSB tool.
Run these commands in Terminal to install the tool.
You can access it from the command line with
You can make your USB Drive bootable with Windows 8 in it without using any additional software.
All of you have to do is:
Once the copying is finished, issue following commands in your preferred terminal:
The last command will create an entry for Windows 8 with the name Windows Recovery Environment in your Grub menu. You can now restart your system, boot into Grub menu and select the corresponding option to boot into Windows 8 installation.
Note : You can also easily remove this new Grub entry by running the same command with USB Drive unplugged.

He eluded authorities for months, but now Bill Bowen, owner of Greenlife Exteriors, is behind bars in York County, South Carolina.
We're told he will not fight extradition to Colorado.
After our 11 Call for Action Investigation revealed the tactics used by Bowen, the El Paso County District Attorney issued a warrant for his arrest.
Altogether he faces 12 felony counts of theft. Eight of those involve seniors who are considered at risk adults.
Monica Staab says she's just one of 43 victims. "You're embarrassed, then you're mad, and now I'm just really glad. I'm just really glad they've gotten him and hopefully we'll get the justice that he deserves."
After I contacted the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, state agents traced Bowen to Lake Wylie, South Carolina. They reached out to the York County Sheriff's Office and deputies arrested him last Friday. I'm told he was living in the Hamilton's Bay condominium complex.
Greenlife reportedly went door to door, performing some work without a license and often failing to pull permits.
Customers we talked to say he cashed their checks and either left them high and dry or with work that wouldn't pass inspection.
Terri Roney of Colorado Springs told us, "I still need a new roof. I got nothing."
The silver lining to our investigation has been the outpouring of support for Greenlife's customers from other roofing companies.
Steve Seder with Aspen Roofing repaired Melissa Finn's roof for free. He said, "This will allow the homeowner to get the permit closed and finished and they can move on from this."
Melissa was out $7,300. "Thank you, thank you Aspen Roofing! Thank you!" explained Melissa.
The best advice: always get several estimates before hiring a contractor, check the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department for complaints and never hire someone who stops by and knocks on your door unsolicited.
As for Bowen: we'll keep you posted.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A client called me today, because some of his galleries weren't working.
I recently upgraded him to latest version of nextgen.
Two most recent galleries ("2013" and "2104" are working) The older ones simply go to the home page when clicking on them.
When I mouse over the newest galleries the path displayed is:
http://www.xxxxx.com/picture-galleries/nggallery/picture-gallery/"name of gallery"]/
When I mouse over the older galleries it simply shows a pointer to
http://www.xxxxx.com (where xxxxx is his domain.)
I checked the galleries - all the paths in the "manage galleries" say: wp-content/gallery/[name of gallery]
The "Page link to" all say "not linked"
I made sure the permalinks are all month and date.
I have deactivated every plugin except Nextgen.
Can't see any difference in the two kinds of galleries.
Even went so far as to make sure the album is "not linked" to any page.
Still baffled.

Does anybody know if the ferry service is bacK? I will need it next spring - 2014.
On the ukferry.com website, it states that "Service is temporarily suspended with effect" for this route.
A email to their Customer Service Line (email@example.com) also left me with a doubt ("We have no status currently of the opening of that route"), that it will be opened anytime soon.
There are plenty of options if you could leave from Ilyichevsk, however, it is at least 8 hours from Kerch by land.

Ah, the newborn photo shoot. Funny how those peaceful, sweet images of a sleeping baby reveal nothing of the chaos that so often accompanies this phase of life. Seems like the last thing you want to worry about when you've just had a baby is getting their pictures taken, but nothing beats looking back at those photos when the years have transformed your once tiny baby into a bigger, louder, messier version of themselves. With that in mind, here are some tips for making the process go as smoothly as possible:
Take some time to decide what kind of photos you really want
Some questions to ask yourself:
-Do I want formal studio portraits or more casual photos in an informal setting?
-Who do I want in the photos? Just the baby? Baby and parents? Siblings?
-How much money/time/effort do I want to invest in this?
In my case, I knew I wanted something more polished than my amateur iphone photos to document my new babies, but also realized that I didn't want to spend top dollar on a photographer or dream up a bunch of elaborate props, outfits, etc., especially since I found myself gravitating more towards simple photos of newborns swaddled in their cribs than studio shots of naked babies sleeping in a basket of flowers or perched on a pile of books.
I also wanted my babies' newborn photos to reflect the life of our family and their surroundings when they first arrived, so I opted to have photos done at home with our whole family present, keeping outfits and backgrounds simple and casual. And since I wasn't too hung up on the quality of these photos as long as we got one decent group shot and a few great portraits of the baby, I hired amateur photographers that took the photos for a fraction of the price that most professionals charge.
Regardless of which approach you want to take and what your priorities are for your newborn's moment in the limelight, definitely keep the following in mind:
Plan ahead as much as possible
This could probably prevent most of the stresses in life, right? And photo shoots are no exception. Photographers generally recommend getting newborn photos taken sometime within two weeks of your baby's arrival, and heaven knows those first couple of days/weeks with a new baby are crazy enough without having to scramble to get ready for a photo session. So try to think through most of the process beforehand:
-Nail down clothing choices for everyone in the photos, not just baby. Even if you aren't going to buy anything new or wear anything fancy, fish the clothes you have in mind out of the closet and hide them away until it's time to take pictures. Otherwise you might end up rushing to Old Navy the morning of the shoot to buy your husband a new gray polo shirt because his is stained (not that I speak from experience or anything…)
-Assemble any props, blankets, etc. that you want to use and have them ready to go so that you're not looking for things while the photographer snaps away. As we've established, I like to keep things simple for newborn photos with my babies in white onesies or something similar, but I've used different swaddle blankets and accessories to mix things up.
-Browse Pinterest, photographer's websites, etc. to get an idea of specific poses/photos you want to have and show them to the photographer beforehand.
Set yourself up for success
You might be looking at the photos accompanying this post and think "geez, these babies look kind of big" and that's because both of my kids didn't have "newborn" photos taken until they were about a month old.
Maybe by the third baby I'll feel differently, but with both of my experiences so far I've felt a bit of anxiety and depression both at the tail end of my pregnancies and for the first few weeks after the baby is born. Nothing major, but enough that newborn photos are the furthest thing from my mind. So I waited until I felt better and capable of more than just making it through the day to get these photos taken. And even though it resulted in not-your-typical newborn shots (my daughter stayed awake the whole time!) it made for a better experience for everyone involved.
But even if you are feeling on top of the world after having your baby, make sure you're not sabotaging yourself:
-If you know you're not a morning person, don't schedule your baby's photos first thing in the morning thinking you'll magically be able to pull it together that one day. Same goes for other times/days, especially if you have other kids involved. Consider when everyone is most likely to be in a good, cooperative mood and schedule your photos for that time.
-Calculate how long you need to get yourself and/or everyone else ready (hair, makeup, etc.) and add on an extra hour. Just trust me on this one.
-Feed your baby right before the photo shoot starts, even if they aren't due for a feeding yet. You want them happy and content. And if you want photos of their cute naked tush, make sure the room you are in is warm enough. Basically, make sure that they are happy and comfortable.
And last of all—this may be the biggest "do as I say, not as I do" piece of advice on here—but don't stress too much. Even if the photos turn out terrible and you hate them, I guarantee if you pull them out 6 months later they will magically look better (speaking from personal experience here). And even if they don't, they're just pictures, right? Go snuggle your baby and forget about them.

Enzymes and the Production of Cheese
There are hundreds of different types and brands of cheese, and their flavors, ways of production, and ingredients generally differ to create the plethora of cheeses we know and love. But despite their differences, all types of cheese have one similarity in the way they are produced: they all use a natural complex of enzymes, referred to as rennet, to coagulate (solidify) milk, separating it into the solid curd and liquid whey.
At the start of the cheese making process, milk, the basis of all cheese, is prepared and treated. Different types of milk are selected to produce a diverse range of flavors, including cow, goat, sheep, buffalo, or camel. The milk is often pasteurized, or heated in order to kill off harmful bacteria, and the starter culture is added to begin the acidification process of milk curdling. After acidification, the milk begins to coagulate, and the casein proteins present in milk change, leading to the formation of solidified milk fat (aka. the curd).
The process of coagulation can occur naturally, however rennet is usually added to speed up the process. Rather than being one specific enzyme, rennet is a complex of enzymes, including protease, and pepsin, which break down protein to form peptides and amino acids, and lipase, which converts fats into glycerol and fatty acids. The most important of these enzymes are rennin, which curdle milk, and chymosin, which react with the substrate K-casein, causing the proteins in milk to clump together to form curds, and separate from the whey known as "glyco macro peptide".
adding dissolved rennet to milk
curd seperating from whey
Afterwards, the whey is drained, leaving the creamy milk curds, which are still in a semi-liquid state at this point. They are then flavored, then pressed in a cheese press to remove excess whey, and in this process the cheese finally becomes solidified. Finally, the cheese is left to age for up to several years, and then packaged and sold to consumers like us.
History and Production of Rennet
Rennet was first indirectly discovered thousands of years ago, when people found out that milk stored in a dried stomach, specifically in the fourth stomach of a young calf, would remain hard and edible for long periods of time. Nowadays, a milk-fed calf's fourth stomach is removed for rennet production in conjunction with the production of veal. The stomachs are dried and cleaned, then soaked in a solution of saltwater and vinegar to lower pH levels. After a few days, the solution produced is filtered, and can then be used for the coagulation of milk. Generally, 1 gram of rennet can coagulate 2000 to 4000 grams of milk.
There are other methods of extracting rennet, however because of the scarcity of milk-fed calf stomachs, the use of animal rennet is generally only used by very experienced and traditional cheese makers, such as those in Switzerland, France, and other areas of central Europe. Nowadays, only about 35% of global cheese production uses animal rennet.
Other alternatives for animal rennet include:
- Vegetable Rennet: for example, rennet removed from fig tree bark, nettles, thistles, and the mold mucor miehei.
- Microbial Rennet: some molds, such as mucor miehei, can produce proteolytic enzymes which help to digest proteins, much like protease and pepsin in animal rennet. These molds are produced in a fermenter, then added to milk in the same fashion as rennet. However, microbial rennets can alter the flavor of cheese, usually giving it a slightly bitter taste.
- Genetic Rennet: Because of the imperfections of microbial rennet (ex. the need for purification in order to avoid contamination), genetic rennet is often used as a replacement. Developments in genetic engineering allow calf-genes to be used to modify certain types of bacteria, fungi or yeast to make them produce the chymosin found in animal rennet. Genetically engineered rennet is very similar to naturally produced calf rennet, with only slight differences in the type of chymosin, making it a popular substitute for animal rennet. In fact, "in 1999, about 60% of US hard cheese was made with genetically engineered Chymosin" (wikipedia).
- Acid Coagulation: sometimes, cheaper brands of cheese are produced by using acid (ex, citric acid), or even bacteria, to coagulate milk.

Austria-culture-art, FEATURE
VIENNA, (Austria)
Super Mario video games, the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Pink Floyd's music and Belgian artist Rene Magritte: who would have thought these had anything in common? But Vienna's Leopold Museum demonstrates there is a link in its new exhibit "Clouds. Fleeting Worlds," which draws from the most unexpected sources to pay tribute to this airy phenomenon.

With the backing of the Kremlin-owned gas giant Gazprom and the cash to buy the world's top players, Zenit St Petersburg must have hoped the 2012-2013 season would be their best ever. But despite the support of the world's largest energy firm, they are third in the country's Premier League, while teams owned by private businessmen have been Russia's star performers this year.

Her eyes see nothing, but when Barbara Appel runs her fingers over the face of a Picasso sculpture in New York's Museum of Modern Art, she sighs with pleasure. Most people go to museums to look at exhibits, but for some at MoMA, love of art is literally blind.

The message emblazoned on a billboard outside the Peruvian capital sounds almost too good to be true: drinkable water for anyone who wants some in this arid village. Even more intriguingly, the fresh, pure water on offer has been extracted, as if by magic, from the humid air.

A Government scheme designed to track down cloned cars could face the chop, following the revelation that it spent £30million over nine years yet found only 38 ringers.
Transport Minister Mike Penning revealed the shocking waste of taxpayers' money in a statement last week, while opening a public consultation into the future of the Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) scheme.
The crime of vehicle cloning, or ringing, typically involves the theft of a high-value car. This is then given the identity of a cheaper version of the same make, model and colour, which has been the subject of an insurance write-off. This is done by transferring the VIN and reg number to the stolen car which, now seemingly genuine, can be sold at market price.
Penning explained that the VIC scheme is designed to deter criminals, by forcing all buyers of written-off vehicles to have their car inspected by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) before it can be re-registered.
However, when Auto Express pointed out that unsuspecting motorists would discover the crime only once they'd sent their fake V5C back to the DVLA – after they'd been duped into buying the ringer – it was met with an "I guess" from one VOSA engineer. He admitted the scheme had adopted a broad-brush approach, expecting even motorists who buy back their own written-off vehicles to pay for the £41 VOSA inspection.
Conceding that 75 per cent of checks were made on cars aged seven years or older, Penning said: "The cost fell on the less well-off members of society," and that "the scheme has become an unnecessary burden to many honest drivers." Yet a VOSA spokesman claimed the "low number" of ringers identified via VIC "could represent its success in deterring ringers". ACPO Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service was unable to confirm whether cloning rates had dropped noticeably.

Re: Kay and Jared jewelers credit cards
Congrats on soon to being married and I for one think that it is a WONDERFUL gesture on your part to get your fiancee a rolex. I have always wanted a rolex and or a breitling (whether I can afford one is a completely different story) and I can assure you that your fiancee would absolutely love it, I know I would. Here is another thing, we dont know both of your incomes and what your credit may be like, so yes if YOU think you can afford a rolex and be able to pay it off within 6 months (especially if they give you time period of X number of months interest free) that would be great. You really need to sit down and think if you can afford it and how long will it take you to pay it off and really weigh the option/desire of the want against the desire to live debt free.
The two jewelary stores are different and your card and CL with Kay will not impact your Jared App. Again, best of luck!

Philip Jenkins charts developments in the Two-Thirds World
For over a thousand years, Christian communities flourished in India. Their first real identity crisis? The arrival of European Catholics.
The vast majority of Africa's christians belong to familiar, mainstream denominations. But scholars give more attention to the minority.
In the ninth century, Timothy I was a global statesman. In the 20th, Raphael Bidawid led a tiny denomination in the paranoid Iraq of Saddam Hussein.
Ever since Westerners discovered Asian cultures they have been intrigued by possible relationships between Christianity and Buddhism.
If one moment symbolizes the unification of the continents, it might be the creation of the diocese of Manila—as a suffragan see of Mexico City.

The first photo, taken on Jan. 18, 2013, shows a healthy California snow pack. Exactly a year later, the second image, taken on Jan. 18, 2014, shows how awful California's drought is getting. (Images via NASA)
A lot has been said about the severe drought persisting across California, but the visual above shows the world how hopeless the situation has become.
The first image, depicting a far snowier Sierra Nevada mountain region, was taken by NASA's Terra satellite on Jan. 18, 2013. Exactly a year later – and one day after California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, urging residents to conserve water – the second image was captured, with very little snow covering only the highest elevations of the Sierras.
"February has offered some relief," said weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. "Parts of the northern Sierra, particularly around Lake Tahoe, have been wetter than average in February."
(MORE: Here's How Much Rain and Snow California Could Receive)
The relief hasn't been enough to squash the drought, however. As of Wednesday's measurements, California's snow water equivalent is just 22 percent of normal for this time of year, according to the California Department of Water Resources. Central portions of the Sierra are reporting 29 percent of normal, the highest snow water equivalent of any region in the mountain range.
Good news is on the way as a more active pattern of storm systems will begin rushing into California this week and is expected continue through the weekend. Rain will fall on most of the state, while much-needed snow will reach the higher elevations.
While the precipitation will be welcomed by a parched state that desperately needs it to keep the water supply flowing through the summer months, serious concerns remain about a lingering drought that will require far more rain to kill. If the rain doesn't come in the next few weeks, it would have to fall in months that are traditionally dry.

By Spc. Amie J. McMillan, 10th Press Camp HeadquartersJune 14, 2012
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (June 14, 2102) -- Soldiers and civilians lined the balconies, as music from the Army Ground Forces Band filled the atrium in the United States Army Forces Command's (FORSCOM) Marshall Hall headquarters, all eager to celebrate the Army's 237th birthday, today.
Brig. Gen. Charles Flynn, FORSCOM's chief of staff, walked to the commands' colors lined displayed the wall, and held the Army Campaign streamers -- the colors of courage, representing every battle fought by U.S. Soldiers since 1775.
"These colors here, these streamers on these colors, and the ones that are being earned today, in each one of these streamers, is blood. People gave their lives in each one of these battles to defend freedom and to defend values, and basically defend the rights which we enjoy the fruits of everyday, and our families enjoy the fruits of, he said. "It really is a reflection of the great value that the Army provides to the country, but more importantly, the Soldiers, the noncommissioned officers, the officers, and the civilian leadership which has provided each of these battle streamers. They are still being earned and still very costly to this nation. The sacrifices that have been made over 237 years by Soldiers and [their] families, and the great civilians that support us, it can't go lost on a day like today when we're celebrating 237 years of existence."
The Soldiers, families and civilians who make up this organization are the reason the Army has stood so strong for 237 years. Every year the Army grows stronger, and this gives those serving or who have served, more of a reason to celebrate its service to our nation.
"Birthdays are a recalling of where we came from and how we started, so that in itself is very important," said Lt. Col. Mark Purdy, who commands the FORSCOM/U.S. Army Reserve Command Special Troops Battalion. "We began this long tradition, 237 years ago, that what is today the greatest Army in the entire world. The Army really embodies what it means to be a patriot, and as its theme, the Army is definitely the strength of the nation,"
In following years of Army tradition, Flynn and Command Sergeant Major Darrin Bohn, FORSCOM's senior enlisted Soldier, called up the youngest and oldest Soldiers in the headquarters to participate in the celebratory cake cutting. The two Soldiers were Sgt. Meghan Berry, a broadcast specialist assigned to the 10th Press Camp Headquarters, who born in 1991, and Chaplain (Col.) Ron Hill, deputy command chaplain, born in 1954
"I'm always really proud of being in the Army. I've only been in three years, but I plan on being in for quite a while. The Army's important to me, it's my life," Berry said.
From Fort Sumter through the Ardennes, and into Afghanistan, the Army has a long history of shedding blood and sweat through its many battles.
"We celebrate on this day, the freedom that we as Americans enjoy as the result of our national resolve to stand for what is right and to commit as an Army, to be ready to respond to the call of duty," said Chaplain (Col.) Michael T. Lembke, the FORSCOM command chaplain, during the invocation.
The audience joined in affirming that commitment by singing "Happy Birthday" to the Army just before the cake was cut with a ceremonial saber, and bringing the event to a close with a rendition of The Army Song.

Krystabelle, 9
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma
Krystabelle loves reading, doing puzzles, going to school and playing with her friends. When Krystablle was four she was diagnosed with cancer. She has spent a lot of time commuting back and forth to St. Louis Children's Hospital for treatments which included fourty-two weeks of chemotherapy and six weeks of radiation. This was one of the hardest years because Krystabelle and her family were in St. Louis once a week. Fortunately, she has been in remission for three and a half years. Although, Krystabelle now has chemo related issues, like leg pain and hot flashes, she takes what comes her way because she is strong and doesn't let cancer hold her back.
Team Revolution is riding in honor of Krystabelle.

HPI Aims Homz MyCraft Org Launch At Craft Segments
Wednesday April 3rd, 2013 - 11:46AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Home Products International has debuted a new line under its Homz brand called MyCraft, designed to provide a "one-stop shop" for crafters' organizational needs, and an opportunity for its retail customer base to reach out to those who contribute to the $29 billion craft and hobby industry, said Rich Neal, marketing director, garment care and room organization, HPI. The Homz Smart Solutions MyCraft initial launch, featuring 32 SKUs, includes new product created specifically for the line and product that currently exists under the Homz brand, but that has been brought within the MyCraft planogram and its "gender neutral" birch and Maui blue color story to help crafters more easily find the solution to meet their specific needs.
Utilizing its laundry care product expertise in ironing board covers and pads, HPI has also developed new SKUs specifically for Homz's MyCraft line in that segment, said Neal.
The Homz MyCraft line has a broad retail target. The company has created an eight-foot planogram that could become a more permanent footprint in a retailer such as a craft specialty store, or for the mass channel that doesn't necessarily have a crafting area of the store. The line will be available in August.

This is a modest B&B located on a quiet Banff street that's easily accessible to downtown. Having read in Trip Advisor that I should avoid the rooms in the basement, I took one upstairs and it was perfectly nice. The breakfast was good, if a little unusual (I believe it was burrito of some kind) and the hosts were very pleasant.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- We are an intimate high-country inn situated three blocks east of Banff Avenue on Otter Street in a quiet residential neighbourhood. The building dates from 1907 and has 10 guest rooms and a gorgeous main lounge and dining room. We use excellent ingredients, serve locally roasted organic coffee and vary our menu daily. This historic mountain home is warm and spacious. It was used extensively in the '30s by CPR work crews as a boarding house. For the following forty years it was known as Douglas House and served as tourist accommodation. The Inn was fully restored in the late '80s and has had recent renovations to maintain its original character and substantial mountain charm. We have four suites, which suit small families, as well as simple and elegant double rooms. Our dining room and lounge are open to guest use during the day and there is a television in the lounge. We have private off-street parking to accommodate guests with vehicles. However, once you are in Banff many activities and walks are accessible by foot from the B&B. ... more less

On Thursday April 5th 10:30am crew 372 from Lakeland Electric was dispatched to Lakeland Hills Blvd. at the entrance to Tiger Town where a driver had lost control of his vehicle and knocked over a utility pole.
The pole housed street light power lines, phone service cables and fiber optic cables and equipment belonging to the City of Lakeland.
In response to the accident, City of Lakeland employees from the fire department, police department, and information technologies department along with Lakeland Electric were sent to the scene.
The first responders from the police department noted downed cables and called for all four lanes of traffic on Lakeland Hills Blvd. to be rerouted. This action involved the use of multiple LPD units.
The Lakeland Fire department dispatched engine 31, manned by, Lt. Dan Faviere, Driver/Engineer, Mark Olivenbaum, and Firefighter/Paremedics Jason Vickers and Chris Farina. Battalion Chief, Jeff Wharton also responded.
The first responder from Lakeland Electric, Troubleman, Edgar Willis, insured that the downed lines were safe. After surveying the damage, he requested assistance from the Energy Delivery Division.
This allowed the paramedics to treat the driver who was transported to the hospital by Polk County EMS.
Information Technologies technicians were sent to the scene because the accident had severed the City's computer network lines that connect Joker Marchant Stadium and the Parks Department operations at Tiger Town.
Those technicians, Robert Smith and David Tate, were tasked with replacing the damaged equipment cabinet and splicing the fiber optic cables that were damaged.
Lakeland Electric crews, dispatched to the sight, included Linemen, Christopher Hodges, Cody Sherrouse, Doug Bergwall, Douglas King, John Barefoot, Matthew Thomas and Todd Walker. They worked for 4 1/4 Hours erecting a new pole, re-attaching the street light and reactivating the power lines.
Two LPD personnel remained on the scene to block traffic from entering the work area.
All city services were restored at 8pm.
April is Safe Digging Month in Florida.
"Throughout the month," explains Cheryl Ritter, Sunshine 811 damage prevention manager, "we're running the 811 Promise campaign to make Florida's residents aware of the requirement to call 811 before digging – even for smaller projects like landscaping or installing a fence or mailbox."
Calling 811 gets underground utilities in your yard located and marked with paint and flags.
The consequences of not calling can be inconvenient, like no‐cable‐tv‐for‐the‐weekend inconvenient. But if you cut into a line carrying phone service to your neighborhood, the neighbor up the street won't be able to reach 911 when he begins having chest pains.
Making the 811 Promise and then carrying through with it every time you dig will keep you and your neighbors safe.
"Making the 811 Promise doesn't cost you a dime," Ritter said, "but it does give you peace of mind when you're working outside."
To make the promise, visit sunshine811.com and click on the 811 Promise button. Then, share the 811 Promise with your friends and family through Facebook, Twitter or email using the share tools at the top of the page.
"The more people who make the 811 Promise," Ritter concluded, "the more we can realize our mission: to make Florida the safest place to dig."
Sunshine 811 is a statewide organization that raises awareness and educates Florida's communities on the legal requirement to call 811 before digging. Its goal is to eliminate digging damages to underground utilities through a series of five steps that begin with "Call 811 Before You Dig." Visit sunshine811.com for more information on the five steps.
Lakeland, Fla. – Lakeland Electric won big in the Twelfth Annual Florida Lineman Competition, in which 18 lineman teams and 33 apprentices from Florida's municipal electric utilities, electric cooperatives, and Patrick Air Force Base demonstrated the skills involved in one of America's most dangerous jobs.
The Lakeland Electric journeyman team of Dwayne Goostree, Justin Devaisher, and Matt Thomas won first place in the Cut-out and Arrestor Change, the Cross Arm Change out, and the Conductor Tie-In, capturing a second place overall finish. In addition, Lakeland Apprentices Samuel Brown and Doug Bergwall won first and third place respectively in the overall apprentice competition.
Linemen competed on two levels: journeyman and apprentice. Journeyman teams included three people – two climbers and a ground person, while apprentice line workers competed on an individual basis. A qualified journeyman has more than four years experience within the electric utility trade. Apprentice line workers have four or fewer years of experience.
Designed to highlight safe utility operations, the event – presented by Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) and hosted by Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) – put the technical and physical skills of utility workers to the test in a crowd-pleasing display of skill and teamwork. Hundreds gathered at the GRU Eastside Operations Center and watched as journeyman teams and apprentices competed in challenges simulating day-to-day operations.
Electric line work is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, and a lapse in judgment or a physical slip-up can mean serious injury or even death. Prior to the competition, lineworkers participated in a series of technical training workshops.
The annual event gives highly trained linemen teams and apprentices statewide the opportunity to learn more about their trade in specialized workshops, while interacting and sharing ideas with their peers by observing safety skills and techniques used by other linemen during the competition.
About FMEA: The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) represents the unified interests of 34 public power communities across the state, which provide electricity to more than three million of Florida's residential and business consumers.
