Winter caving needs to be quite selectively undertaken by those who might consider it as certain caves are used as hibernaculums by the province's bats. Disturbing a bat from its winter sleep could kill it. The water passages in Marmora have in my experience been free of any bats. I suspect there is to much air movement and also the rushing water can vary quite drasticallly in height. Bats could be scoured from their roosts in a heavy spring thaw.
In the photo I am dressed in my winter caving outfit. Warmth is essential and though wool precludes the explorer from tight jagged squeezes, of which there are many in Marmora, it maintains its warmth, even when wet. As for the legs, neoprene is fine, but I must admit, stripping off in the snow, my feet felt like they were on fire, it was very painful.
Here I am following in along a channel in the ice. This is a section of passage where the water leaves the surface and disappears for a short time under a landscape of juniper and cedar. Numerous side passages lead off to other passages and who knows where. I had wanted to see how the tunnel felt during winter high-flow. The situation soon improved and the water became quite shallow. It is an environment of sparkling ice formations – very beautiful but sadly melting with the warmer weather.

UK court defers Assange extradition ruling
London: Britain`s High Court has deferred its decision on an appeal by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange against his extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault.
The Court heard two days of arguments from Assange`s lawyers and from Swedish prosecutors as the Australian sought to overturn a ruling in February that approved his extradition.
"We will hand down our judgement in the usual way," said Judge John Thomas, one of two judges dealing with the case, referring to a written decision. He did not say when the ruling would be given.
40-year-old Assange was arrested by British police in December after Sweden requested his arrest for questioning over allegations of sexual assault and rape against two women.
He denies the claims.Lawyers for Swedish prosecutors yesterday rejected defence claims that a rape allegation against Assange, made by one of the women, would not count as such under English law.
Clare Montgomery, appearing for the Swedish prosecution, accused Ben Emmerson, one of Assange`s lawyers, of "winding English law back to the 19th century" with his definition of consent.
"They (the alleged victims) are describing circumstances in which they did not freely consent without coercion," Montgomery said.
"They were forced either by physical force or by the sense of being trapped into the position where they had no choice and therefore submitted to Mr Assange`s intentions."
On the allegation that one of the women woke up to find Assange, an Australian, having sex with her without a condom, Montgomery said, "She may later have acquiesced in it… but that didn`t make the initial penetration anything other than an act of rape she had not consented to."
"This woman had never had unprotected sex and it was a very important issue to her," she said.
Montgomery was later challenged by judge Thomas over her arguments that the European arrest warrant used on Assange was proportionate.
Discussing whether it would be sensible for Assange to be interviewed by Swedish authorities in some way before the extradition goes ahead, Thomas said, "If you actually take sensible steps to eliminate problems in the spirit of judicial cooperation, you may find the process simpler."
Another of Assange`s lawyers, Mark Summers, reiterated arguments that the European arrest warrant was invalid because he is only wanted for questioning and has not been charged.

I don't know about you, but I was caught in a web of lies that totally dictated and nearly destroyed my life. I didn't understand just how powerful the deception and lies about who I believed God to be really were and how these lies resonated deep within in my soul.
I gave my life to Christ in the hope that I would find freedom from the lies that held me captive. I didn't find freedom, however, because I was still believing lies that Satan had set into motion early in my life.
Lies shaped my beliefs. I felt that I needed to measure up, clean up my life, erase, or do enough good works so that my past could be forgiven. I was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as a young adult. This left me feeling out of control. I fell into promiscuity as way to feel in control of my life.
For as long as I can remember, I have never felt accepted by anyone in my life. I believed I was unworthy of acceptance. These lies became demons, which became my reality, as I believed them. I was tormented by these destructive beliefs and lies.
As a toddler, my father left; this made me feel abandoned. This left a large hole in my heart. So the lie this created was that if my earthly father could find nothing in me worthy of love, then how God could find anything redeeming in me to love and accept?
Once I came to True Life – Discipleship Counseling, this all changed for me through the Truths that I came to understand. Through the counseling and discipleship, I learned to believe and allow these Truths to be written on my heart. They are now replacing the Lies that once nearly destroyed me.

A man heading to Capitol Hill's Seattle Boxing Studio last Wednesday found himself practicing his punches while fending off a mugger outside the gym, according to the Seattle Police Department.
According to police, the man was entering the Capitol Hill studio, located at 1431 Broadway, around 10:30 AM when another man came up to him and grabbed his gym bag.
CHS profiled the basement-level studio in this post.
After a short struggle, the robber let go of the bag, but then lunged forward at the victim, according to police. The trained boxer then used his jabs and power punches to strike the would-be mugger who also threw punches but never made contact with him, the man told police. The boxer suffered a sore hand in the assault — police say it was possibly broken when he struck the alleged thief in the face.
The attacker eventually walked away, but police were able to locate him nearby and arrest him.

Hello, kind of tricky to peg this post into a topic here [my second choice is "rant"], but part of my motive for posting here is figuring out if it was a mere hardsell attempt or scam attempt, so I guess can fit here well. If my post seems confusing it is likely because it could have been much longer and i kept editing to keep it short - but may have made it incoherent in the process. Whether it is outright scammy depends on if she mis-represented the product, but the hardsell part was disturbing enough that I wanted to post online about it. to be clear I did not buy anything, but am deeply disturbed people can walk through a mall and be accosted in this manner - it was a big ticket item, $1500 Canadian dollars - then 1k when I first refused First I contemplated a bad yelp or google review, then thought that was too tattle tale like - so I was planning on some forum post just to share my strange experience. Anyway a young woman was at koisk type stand in the middle of a mall, and as I passed by she passed me a small black package, about the size of a small candy, which i first thought it was. as I took it she said I can give you two and gestured to the makeup store I didnt realize she was a part of. I had just arrived in this new City the morning before and had huge dark circles from traveling, and it quickly became apparent this is what she had in mind, a fix for dark circles. she put it on one eye - , and yes it was impressive, i have tried covering dark circles before and had to make up my whole face to make it worthwhile, this stuff was quick easy and in about 15 secs the treated eye was about 3/4 of the way to no circles at all. Around this time she shows me the box is comes in - and I think no way I can afford that right now I can just tell by the box, She is [perhaps vaguely] presenting it as more of a cure than a coverup, a botox alternative. she said 10 years, but was not clear at all if the package had a 10 year supply of the stuff or if kept working after it ran out, cure like. but yea 1500 bucks.. Im all no, and I tried to explain my eyes where not always like that, a very significant little detail from my perspective, but she just ran over my attempt to explain this in a way I think was not only bad salesman ship but downright rude. I kept saying i dont even have that much in the bank which is true but I dont' think she believed me - after saying no to 1k she threw in two more boxes, i dont know what.. so I just got up and bolted, as I was getting up shes all "dont go out like that, at least let me do your other eye," Im like lol no way. I did feel a little self conscious about the eye so opened the candy type package, and i dont think it was the same stuff she put on me? it smelled like tropics and i didnt remember a smell to the eye treatment. So my on topic question is - does anyone know what skin care product this was? edit: i forgot to say a few hours later my eyes didn't look nearly as different as at the demo, but im not sure if my untreated eye had improved or if the treated one had 'worn off' and yes im a guy

Confluence and Ohiopyle State Park: The wifi oasis, and mutiny in the land of the chipmunks
33 miles (53 km) – Total so far: 291 miles (468 km)
I tried my earplugs last night for the first time and I slept like a baby through the thunderstorm and all the trains that kept Craig and Gerry awake all night. Yay for earplugs!
Once again the rain didn't start until we were safely tucked away in our tents. It was nearly dry in the morning. So far so good! Perhaps we'll break our former habit of always getting rained on during all of our previous bike tours. Ellen, I know you're reading this. I'm talking to YOU 😉
We stopped in at the Rockwood Mills Café for fresh donuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches. A delicious beginning to the day. This was a short day. Only 30 miles to our next stop in Ohiopyle, PA for the night.
Another day of perfect weather and fabulous scenery. Am I sounding like a broken record? This is one record I don't mind repeating.
This is lovely country. The further north we travel, the more the mountains explode with brilliant color. And local folks we run into complain that this year is the worst they've ever seen because it has been a very dry fall. Well we think it looks just amazing! Today's trail paralleled the Casselmann River and then the Youghiogheny. We were often sailing along through the forest high above the rushing river. The trees up here are tall and straight and there is little undergrowth. You can see deeply into the woods as you rush by.
We've truly entered the land of the chipmunks. I had no idea they would be so dense here. They are as populous as squirrels are in the Midwest. I just love watching these cute little creatures scurry across the trail in front of us, chasing each other up and down the trees. Their high pitched warning peeps are a constant chorus along the trail. So cute!
We stopped in Confluence to check out the Confluence Cyclery bike shop Gerry had heard of. It was an interesting bike shop/antique store. Little did I realize that I was about to enter a wifi oasis! They had free wifi and an electronic charging station. I hadn't been able to check email in over 24 hours so I set up shop, checked email and took care of some important website work. Unfortunately, that meant that we were there for over two hours. SORRY Craig and Gerry! That's the problem with being a self-employed website developer. I can't really take a vacation; sometimes I have to get some work done. That's just part of the deal. THANKS Craig and Gerry for being so patient. They shopped at the store, and made friends with three quarters of the population of Confluence while they waited.
Besides my shoptalk, we were very impressed with the Confluence Cyclery. They had a nice variety of bikes, supplies and gear and Bob, the owner, was helpful and so friendly. He sold a bike to a lady while we were there and set it up for her. We all bought some cool tee shirts before we left. Thanks Bob!
We had lunch at the Sisters Café next door. Great food! Then headed back to the trail. Good thing it's a short day!
It was only eleven miles to Ohiopyle or maybe it was nine miles, possibly thirteen. We noticed some disparity between signs so we were never quite sure. Ohiopyle is another pretty little town although obviously a tourist haven during whitewater rafting season. I'd bet that it gets packed with people during the spring and summer. Today it was nearly deserted and most of the shops were closed. That was fine with us. We're not touristy types.
Our campground for the night, the Ohiopyle State Park, was just past the town and we had to climb a steep, rocky quarter mile trail to get to it from the GAP. When I say steep, I'm talking arms aching, panting like a steam engine, sweat dripping down your back, legs shaking STEEEEEP, for a quarter of a mile. Are you kidding me!? I thought I was gonna die. We had read all the warnings about this hill in other CGOAB journals so we knew it was coming. One lady emphatically wrote that if anyone tells you the hill isn't bad they are LYING. Well I echo her sentiment. It is BAD.
We finally reached the top, a wooded area with a road but no other signs of life, where we encountered a posted map instructing us to trek all the way across the entire park to check in at the contact station. Right then and there I mutinied. No way am I trekking up another 86% hill to get to the contact station. There are campsites right around this corner. I'm marching right over there and setting up my tent they can yell at me if they want to!!!!
Well once I cooled down a bit I noticed that it really was a pretty campground and I also noticed that my iPhone had FIVE (FIVE!) bars. So that pepped me up a bit and got me out of my prior mutinous frame of mind.
And so I had another idea. Why don't one of us (not ME) take all the bags off our bike and just zip over to that contact station and check in? I volunteer to sit right here at this picnic table in this lovely campsite and watch our bags.
So that's what we did. Both Craig and Gerry deposited the panniers on the picnic table and I sat there and waited for them as all the cute little chipmunks scampered around me. I also sat up shop and started uploading my journal from yesterday.
When the guys returned we set up our camp, took showers (pretty nice shower rooms), cooked dinner, and enjoyed some fantastic conversation until bed time. Tomorrow's a long day, nearly 50 miles. But it is our last full day on the trail. We are very sad to end this amazing adventure.

My XTerra has 3 electrical "ports" (not sure if that's the right word - the kind people used to put cigarette lighters in) and the one by the back gate konked out on me the other day. I had just plugged in my portable compressor to top up the tires when it chugged a couple of times, then died. Initially, I thought it was the compressor but it worked fine in the port on the dash so it's clearly the port at the back that's at fault.
How do I get this port working again? I suppose the first thing to do is to check for a blown fuse but I can't make head nor tails out of the wiring diagrams in the manual. I'm not sure where that fuse is or if a fuse is even a plausible theory given that one of the other ports works fine (I haven't tried the one in the storage thing between the front seats). Would all three ports share a fuse or are they all on separate fuses? What would make the port fail if not a fuse?

Payroll flip flop throws flustered junta for a loop
Kelly Snell standing alone to save dough
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." - Kurt Vonnegut
Six Shooter Junction – It's one of those governmental snafus that moves from a slow rolling boil to cooler periods, goes on and off the boil - then brews up into full-fledged feud material all over again.
It's all about the kind of Monday morning hassle bosses often face with their lower-paid, more economically challenged employees – the one about how they will have to learn to manage their money, he's not a bank, etc., etc. No, they can't have an advance on next week's pay. They have to work before they get paid, not get paid before they work, and all that jazz.
The pitiful thing is that it's got area business men scratching their heads and wondering how and why an organization like McLennan County needs to pay people for work they have not yet performed, overtime hours they may or may not have worked, and vacation and sick leave time they may or may not be eligible to collect.
A frustrated small business man named Eddie Pribyl spoke to the issue following the McLennan County Commissioners Court's suddenly slow motion decision to spend $58,000 to reverse a previous decision made during budget workshops over the Spring months to reverse a long-standing policy they already spent huge amounts of money to correct.
In May, the Court voted to go to a 26-week pay system after an expense of nearly a half million dollars to install the new software on a $6 million main frame computer.
That would have resulted in county employees who make less than $30,000 per year receiving an average of about $85 per pay day less than what they had been getting. Somehow, folks got the idea that meant they would be getting paid less.
It's not necessarily so; they would just be getting less on each check, but the same amount for the entire year. The problem is that it would cost the same amount of money to buy the new software solution to the old problem to try to alter the new old system – and the software engineers aren't really sure it would work, according to the Information Technology department head, Robert Wasson.
Under the new old system of a 24-week pay schedule, people are often overpaid in error, leave their employment with McLennan County before the Treasurer's office catches the mistake, and become the subject of court judgments to collect the money.
"I don't know of any other business that pays people for hours they haven't worked before the time keeper has a chance to verify they have worked them," said Mr. Pribyl, who lives at McGregor while he operates his place of business in Waco.
He was one of a committee of three – the number of the classic junta - who meet private sector payrolls who went to a meeting with three of the members of the Court and the County Auditor back in July to try to hammer out a solution to what they saw as an alarming situation, this business of pay folks before they actually do the work for which they are paid.
At a meeting between Commissioners Kelly Snell and Ben Perry, with Precinct 3 Commissioner Joe Mashek listening in on a speaker phone and his Administrative Assistant Susan Nemmer in attendance, they extracted a promise that the majority would vote to keep the new system, one in which the time keeper in the County Treasurer's office gets a chance to look over the overtime, compensatory and vacation time claims, and verify the payroll before that office cuts the checks.
Under the old system, employees are paid for periods of anywhere from 14 to 19 days. In many cases, the end of the pay period falls on a weekend, and the time keeper does not get a chance to audit the time sheets until after the pay is disbursed.
Why not go to the new system?
"They kept telling us 'What you don't understand is that these county employees are taxpayers, too," said Mr. Pribyl when reached for comment on the Court's Tuesday decision to pay Edoc Technologies, Inc., $20,000 to design a payroll system to account and calculate pay under the old system of a 24-week pay schedule.
In addition, they voted to pay a $31,500 maintenance schedule over the next seven years to maintain that new old system. The resulting price tag is in excess of $50,000.
Mr. Pribyl and his colleagues are incensed, burned up, and apoplectic because, he says, County Auditor Stan Chambers pointed out during the July meeting that the Attorney General has issued an opinion that it's not really legal to issue pay checks without first auditing time sheets.
Mr. Chambers is as puzzled as the business men.
"They need a system of time clocks for each employee to punch in at the barn or at the courthouse...The system could be activated by a personal code, no matter the location they are at when they punch in," said Mr. Pribyl. Employees have complained repeatedly that they sometimes have to report to work at their stations at the precinct barns, sometimes at the Courthouse, and sometimes on the road to other assignments.
You can't get there from here, they say.
The businesss men say they're wrong. Tom Ramsey, who operates a temporary placement agency named Total Placement, is on record saying he and his employees are able to do just that on a daily basis while he verifies and audits their actual hours in advance of their pay days.
When the vote came on Tuesday, Commissioners Joe Mashek and Ben Perry changed their position and voted with County Judge Jim Lewis and Commissioner Lester Gibson for the new old system that will cost in excess of $50,000 to stay with the now old new system of paying overtime and sick leave, vacation and compensatory time - without first auditing the time sheets.
"We asked them, 'Do you run that operation, or do the employees run it?'" said Mr. Pribyl, speaking from his desk in a busy automotive location in suburban Waco.
Will he say it on camera?
"Let me get your number. I'll get back to you," he replied.
Some days, the dragon wins.

Can you post the invoice for a 6 million main frame or do you just not care about the facts. 6 million dollors being attached to a project is a major fact.ReplyDelete
I have spoken with Mr. Chambers about this matter twice. Both times he assured me that it is a material fact that McLennan County has invested that much in a main frame computer system. Suppose I am in error, and it's only $1 million, after all. Hell's bells, let's make it a meaaly $100,000. I put it to you, sir. Is it a good use of what resources are available, be they worth $6 million or two bits, to ignore the fact that the money has been spent for a purpose and then turn around and subvert that very purpose? I put it to you, sir. It's the very principle of thing that that is at stake, here, sir. That ought to hold you, Mr. Anonymous. That ought to hold you. Why don't you post the invoice for what it really cost and leave me in peace? How about that? There's an idea for you. - The LegendaryReplyDeleteReplies

Yes, let's do get this straight. You are very belligerent and you are in a very ignorant mood, so you begin to berate me about something I have confirmed to the best of my ability.

Well if he told you that then he is wrong and I cannot prove a negative so if you or Mr. Chambers won't or cannot produce an invoice showing McLennan County purchased any-kind of mainframe at any price to run the new software on I have to give up quest of correctiing error here and assume all the facts in the rest of this blog could be just as wrong.ReplyDelete

Neither 24 nor 26-week pay schedule will not put the county payroll into arrears. This can only be done through county policy. Do you know if Commissioner Snell is going to place a draft policy on the Commissioners' Court agenda for debate?ReplyDelete

What the Legendary has exposed is clear admission by three commissioners that they participated in an illegal meeting by having three commissioners present in deliberations via phone or in person. The fact that Mashek was "just listening" on the phone while his administrative assistant was active in the meeting makes no difference under the open meetings act. These guys were trying to conduct deliberations in an illegal meeting, and you, the white knight of transparency, just ignore their actions and hold them up as heroes.ReplyDeleteReplies
The report is the recollection of one man. The ultimate vote of commissioners does not support the allegation. In fact, it contradicts the recollection of Mr. Pribyl. While I don't doubt that that is his recollection, it is pretty sparse evidence that a crime occurred.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 11:57 AM
The real fact, despite what readers are being told in this fairy tale being spun by Snell and Chambers is that County employees are paid AFTER THEIR WORK HAD BEEN PERFORMED. When a County employee comes to work on the first day of a month he/she is paid on the 16th for the first half of the month. It amazes me how anyone can spin that into a statement that employees are paid before they do the work. When disinformation is printed as fact in a news or blog organ, credibility quickly disappears - and the only asset you really have is credibility - don't take whatever Snell or Chambers says as a fact.ReplyDeleteReplies
The treasures office has stacks of lawsuits where employees are sued by the county to recover pay they were not eligible for. Technically, the pay date is after the fact but the net result is the same. Employees received pay they were not due because after the time sheets were audited, it was discovered. While the argument above is semantically correct, the net effect is the same.Delete

Commissioner Snell is holding his own meetings in secret while championing transparency? Isn't this just like when he spoke out against special interest groups only to turn around a allow Johnson Roofing, that was currently bidding for a county contract, to throw him a fundraiser? Commissioner Snell seems to be a big believer in "do what I say not what I do." Where do I go to request the minutes for Snell's secret meeting? I guess the tape was running during this meeting since the newspaper man wasn't there.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 10:51 PM
I think the Legendary missed the real crime. According to the Open Meetings Act, Mr. Snell's meeting was illegal. If a quorum of Commissioners are present and discuss county business, even if one is on the phone, it is considered a called meeting by law. The meeting is illegal in that there was no public notice posted 72 hours before this called meeting. There are no public minutes that can be reviewed of this meeting since the County Clerk's Office wasn't present at the meeting, I'm sure because they didn't know about it either. So it would seem the actual crime isn't the Commissioners spending money, but that Mr. Snell betrayal of public trust in calling a clearly illegal meeting. Good work on uncovering Mr. Snell's illegal activities!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Even if the recollection of one man is correct, the commissioners made every effort to comply with the law as Commissioner Mashek was not present at the meeting. Only Commissioners Snell and Perry. That is not a quorum.Delete

Mashek's telephone call constitutes a "walking quorum" according to the Open Meetings Act. This part was set forth in the case of Esperanza Peace and Justice Center v. City of San Antonio in 2001. It was found that by trying to avoid having a quorum by using the telephone violated the spirit of the law since the telephone use was intended to circumvent the Act's requirements.Delete

Mr. Hancock - Read pages 17-18Delete
From the pub Pg. 18 - deliberately meeting in groups less than a quorum in closed sessions to discuss and/or deliberate public business, and then ratifying their actions as a quorum in aDelete
subsequent public meeting.
Clearly, the action here complained of is in conflict with the opinion in that the reported actions were not "ratified". Said lack of ratification being the chief complaint of the Mr. Prybil.
From the same page - "when there is no intent to avoid the Act's requirements."
No evidence exists that it was their INTENT to subvert the act. Evidence of intent is required.
Do you believe the only reason this law is rarely used is because "everybody" but those accused in this matter obey the law?
McLennan County has a bulldog District Attorney who would be all over this if any true violation had occurred. The DA not only is aggressively pursuing charges against Buddy Skeen but also the associates of Mr. Skeen.

Ben, if you review the Opinions of the Attorney General of the State of Texas you will find one, not that long ago, that states that a member of a governing body who is present at a meeting via a telephone device IS considered to be present at that meeting. Yes, my friend, according to the Texas Attorney General, the meeting with Snell, Perry in person and Mashek on the speaker phone was definitely a quorum. And the purpose of the meeting, as attributed to Snell was to round up three votes for his issues. Additionally, there are other AG opinions that prohibit a commissioner from sending a proxy (i.e. their administrative assistant) to other commissioners to try to coerce their vote on an issue. Obviously it is OK for a third party, on their own to visit with each commissioner individually - but not if that party is a proxy of another commissioner. It's all about transparency folks and deliberation in the public arena - and everyone has to remember that transparency is a double edged sword. One cannot say it applies to them and not to me.ReplyDelete
When the Commissioners put themselves and their administrative assistants in the same suite of offices, they made a very dangerous move, because such a physical arrangement makes it very difficult to NOT have illegal meeting situations. Even if the illegal meetings never happen, they produce the public perception that they do happen. They would have to be super humans with unbelievable self control to avoid such meetings - and after awhile they get easier and easier until they become the norm. It's just human nature to talk to your suite mates.

Mr. Hancock, you might want to check out Attorney General GA-0863 - read the body of the opinion and not just the summary - you will see how he AG feels about all the sneaky little ways board members / court members / council members try to get around having a quorum. It amazes me how such members think they are the only ones who have ever thought about all the little tricks of avoiding a quorum. The AG looks at intent and essence rather than the loopholes little geniuses in many local governments think they have figured out.ReplyDelete
Doesn't have anything to do with Chapter 551 Texas Open Meetings Act. It's about the Ethics Commission.
They're at each other again!ReplyDelete

Suppose you're right Mr. Hancock. That would mean that by Mr. Perry and Mr. Mashek not keeping their alledged promises to him, I say alledged since there was no record made of Mr. Snell's secret called meeting, they would technically be breaking the spitulation of it being an actual meeting. And Mr. Snell is upset that they spared him of illegal action? I guess no one would want to do Mr. Snell any favors.ReplyDelete
But I will still maintain that Mr. Snell violated the Open Meeting Act by calling his illegal meeting. Since the Commissioners are in such close proximity, they why didn't Mr. Mashek simplely step down the hall to Mr. Snell's office? Instead he stayed in his office and brought in his Assistant to witness the call. That my friend makes a strong case for his intent to avoid having a quorum, and is the exact kind of action that the court has already ruled as being considered a "Walking Quorum" which is illegal. DA Reyna, we hope you will take as swift action against the illegal activities of Mr. Snell and perhaps Mr. Mashek as you have with Mr. Skeen.

"That would have resulted in county employees who make less than $30,000 per year receiving an average of about $85 per pay day less than what they had been getting. Somehow, folks got the idea that meant they would be getting paid less." The author apparently doesn't know how they initially attempted to implement the new pay. In October or November, I don't remember, they were going to switch to the two week pay rate, but they were NOT going to start paying every two weeks until after the new year started in January. County employees were to be paid twice a month at a lower rate for two or three months. That would be where everyone got the idea they were getting paid less, because they were. Getting paid at the same frequency for two or three months, just getting paid less each time.ReplyDelete

Crackdown 2 is the upcoming sequel to the 2007 Realtime Worlds title which featured over the top powers in a sandbox world where super-cops fought to take down massive gangs in the city. One of the big differences with Crackdown 2 is that the development torch has been handed down to Ruffian Games, which may cause a little worry to fans of the original when an original team has moved away from their title.
From a hands-on with the game at E3, it's safe to say that Ruffian has upped the ante with Crackdown 2, and that there is nothing to worry about for fans of the original. Many of the aspects that made the first game so great are still here, such as nabbing different orbs scattered across the city, or being chased down by gang hit squads. This time there have been a few new ingredients added to the recipe to spice things up a bit in Crackdown 2.
One of the most noticeable things in Crackdown 2 is the new use of explosives, as well as new explosives in general, that are available to blow up in the game. Barrels and compressed gas tanks are scattered in healthy doses around the city blow groups of baddies wide open.
Another new feature added is the way enemy strongholds are taken. Now instead of shooting at groups of enemies till the fight's over, players now fight through a group of spawning enemies to help a chopper land and drop off reinforcements before going further into enemy stronghold territory. The sandbox aspect has been ramped up with a ton of collectibles and new challenges scattered everywhere.
The most exciting difference is the added co-op playability. Now up to four players can hop in a co-op story and play the whole game as a massive gang destroying force of nature, with bonuses added to co-op play, allowing for more orbs through multiplayer.
For those who were once curious about Crackdown 2 can now rest easy, the game is looking better than ever and should be a lot of fun to play when it hits on Xbox 360 July 6.

Man Wart Removed With Shotgun
Apparently, the dime-sized nemesis sat on Murphy's middle finger and plagued him for five long years! Now, why didn't Murphy just go to the corner drug store and get a wart removal kit? Was that too embarrassing for him? Perhaps it was like a man buying tampons or maybe, Murphy's universe was too small to fit a removal kit.
The good news, the wart was blasted off his finger. The bad news, most of the middle finger went along with the it! However, don't think for one second that Murphy was sad to see his finger ripped from his hand. Instead, Murphy told England's The Star:
"The best thing is that the wart has gone. It was giving me lot of trouble...It was hurting a lot and causing my finger to bend. I'd been to the doctors and tried all sorts of things, but it wouldn't go."
Perhaps Murphy wasn't trying hard enough to rid himself of the wart and over compensated by sacrificing his middle finger. Whatever the case may be, one thing is certain - Murphy is probably a shell shy of a fully loaded gun.
Even Murphy's lawyer, Richard Heigh, was dumbfounded by his ridiculous behavior. Heigh stated that Murphy was a "victim of his own stupidity." Now, ain't that the truth folks! And, for his act of utmost stupidity, Murphy was charged with possessing an illegal weapon. Luckily, he didn't have to go to jail. However, some time at the school of common sense might do him good.

Yes, Planetside 2 is going to be free-to-play, but Sony is keeping mum on just how this is going to work out.
Back in July, Sony revealed it's got some pretty major plans for the Planetside franchise with Planetside 2. The sequel is set to include a new resource system, the ability to level up when players aren't logged in, and a dynamic skill tree, and now Sony's revealed something else: Planetside 2 will be free-to-play.
Speaking to Chinese news site 17173.com, Sony Online Entertainment's president John Smedley broke the news, though he didn't exactly explain how the F2P elements would work. Not only that, but the original translation wasn't all that great, so Planetside Universe followed up with Smedley for some clarification; Smedley got back to the group shortly with the following information:
On Auction House
We aren't doing an auction house like Blizzard. They asked me what I thought of that move by Blizzard and I said I liked it and thought it would help with farmers and that we were doing it years ago with Station Exchange. It has nothing to do with Planetside 2 whatsoever. Ive [SIC] said before the game will be some form of F2P but we aren't announcing anything specific yet.
On Beta
I did in fact say we are aiming for late this year or early next year. No further comment about that. It's ready when it's ready and we are proud of it.
On Crafting
Not sure what they were talking about relating to "crafting" other than we want players long term to be able to make weapons. That won't be there at launch.
On Payment Model
The game will be F2P. What form will it be? We're still working that out. But here's a hint - we like League of Legends a lot.
That last bit is certainly interesting, as League of Legends model is not only highly profitable, but it also allows players a ton of freedom to play in a variety of styles. Since Planetside 2 is apparently going to be starting its beta process in the near future, maybe some more light will be shed on the F2P elements soon.

Ars Technica just posted an incredibly lengthy (40,000 words) article covering the history of Android.
It's quite an interesting read if you care to learn more about the OS itself and the differences between versions.
Assuming you've got the time I recommend checking it out, if nothing more than for interest's sake and seeing where Android has been and come from and maybe a likely idea of where it's going.
The really good stuff started happening with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) and has continued on since then through Jelly Bean and now Kit Kat. If you're not up for the lengthy read but do have a passing interest in learning more about Android I suggest just skipping to the Ice Cream Sandwich section and reading from there.
Just looking at the main pic that leads into the article I can't help but inwardly groan when I see Gingerbread on the bottom left there. Oh god. My first Android device was the Nexus S 4G and out of the box it came with Gingerbread, which was kind of a big deal then. I still remember how excited I was when I got my phone, I think I lasted all of 30 minutes before rooting it. I was a young Android aficionado even early on in the OS's life.

Hicks Tortured At Guantanamo
This article belongs to column.
David Hicks was repeatedly tortured and mistreated during his illegal five-year detention at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba according to secret CIA and Pentagon documents, statements by US military personnel, interview transcripts held by the UK in relation to a passport application and other Pentagon evidence, including statements from former detainees as well as US military guards.

Secret CIA documents also show that CIA and military mistreatment of detainees commences well prior to detainees arriving at Guantanamo in places such as Egypt, Romania, Iraq and even Thailand and that mistreatment often lasts for years in contravention of International Law as well as US civilian and military laws.

Pagans, Witches, Earth-Based Ceremony for the Salish Sea Day of Action Saturday
Wednesday, September 12, 2018

Salish Sea Day of Action, Saturday, September 15
From 350 Seattle
On Saturday, September 15, 2018 concerned community members will gather around the region to celebrate our interdependence with the Salish Sea. Currently at profound risk from multiple fossil fuel projects, existing pollution, warming waters, and ocean acidification, the Salish Sea is experiencing plummeting salmon populations and starving orcas — so from Vancouver BC to Olympia WA, 30 actions on both sides of the border will advocate for protection for the bioregion.
In Shoreline, Pagans, Witches, Earth-Based Ceremony, Salish Sea Day of Action Dancing, drumming and ceremony to send love to the Salish Sea. Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, 2021 NW 190th St, Shoreline 98177 11am – 3pm.
"In the 163 years that settlers have occupied this land, we have seen the nearly complete decimation of land and sea creatures in the Salish Sea bioregion. Those most affected are the killer whales and salmon-- who are an indicator the health of all the other species.
"Fossil fuel projects and corporations of all kinds contribute to pollution, to climate change and ocean acidification. Our own sewers empty into the water, along with pesticides and fertilizers. What we do to the water, we do to the land, we do to the people," says Pamela Cəlálakəm Bond, (Snohomish).
"What concerns me about what is going on right now with the Coast Salish sea is the same thing that has been concerning my people for hundreds of years. It is the disrespect, the utter and complete lack of respect for our brothers and sisters in the sea and for the sea itself. They see it as something disposable," adds Kayah George, Tsleil-Waututh First Nations member.

Just because Governor Cuomo announced he is not legalizing marijuana Colorado-style, doesn't mean New Yorkers can't get really high.
High in the air, that is. As of its opening last week, the city's Midtown Marriott is the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere at a vertigo-inducing 753 feet.
The hotel's developer, Harry Gross, told the New York Daily News that the tallest hotel west of the Prime Meridian came about by accident, a happy coincidence that probably has never happened before and will never happen again.
"I just wanted to fit as much building on this site as we could," Mr. Gross, who himself is of average height, said. "Only when we'd finished did we realize we were the tallest."
With respect to Mr. Gross, it is hard not to notice the structure's stature. The Marriott towers 65 stories above Broadway and offers views of the Big Apple never before seen without wings or a radioactive spider bite.
"We have Central Park and Times Square," Mr. Gross said. "We have the best views of any hotel in the city. We designed the building to make sure every room would have the best views possible."
The lofty hotel takes the number one tallest spot from Detroit's Renaissance Center, which stands 727 feet. The Marriott also stands like a bullying older brother just a couple blocks away from the New York Four Seasons, the former tallest hotel in the city at 682 feet.
New Yorkers looking to temporarily elevate their lifestyle are looking at a steep $300 a night, with those prices soaring to $700 during peak times and $1,000 during events like New Year's Eve.
We can't say nobody's ever gotten high for less, but that probably did not come with a complimentary breakfast.

The Regional Council of Jämtland has a goal to increase the export of renewable energy and with that reduce the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One of the measures used to reach this goal is to give subsidies and tax reductions for investments in photovoltaics. Photovoltaics are generally perceived as "good for the environment" and give a "good image" to companies. They are marketed as interesting for private persons and farmers from a profitability point of view.
Sweden has an electricity mix with average CO2 emissions of 20-30 g/kWh. Compared to other countries in Europe this is very low. The CO2 emissions of photovoltaics during their lifetime are 46 g/kWh according to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Taking this in consideration it can be concluded that photovoltaics actually increase GHG emissions as they have higher emissions of CO2 than the average in Sweden.
When the decision to invest in photovoltaics is made with profitability as a main reason, it is debatable if the subsidies and tax reductions are needed. When the decision to invest in photovoltaics is made with environmental concern as a main reason, the subsidies might be given to other environmental technologies that are better from a climate perspective. Considering this, the push for profitability of photovoltaics can be seen as just another increase in consumption.
