Anxiously awaiting the New Leaf Market to open .. the people of Pleasanton have been very patient and hopefully this projected date for opening stays on track.

I've been wishing for a WholeFoods or Lunardi's there.
So this will be a good fit. We go all the way to Danville
when we need organic greens and foods. We love the
store in HalfMoonBay. Gene's is good too. But it will be
nice to have another organic place in Ptown.

I have long hoped that something like this would move in there. I'm not holding my breath until I see it actually open, though. Been disappointed too many times.

so excited that this will be on the East side of Pleasanton so those of us in Livermore can enjoy it too!

Looking forward to the opening of this "independently-owned grocer known for carrying locally grown, organic foods" store. The only thing that might be better is a Trader Joe's :) I'll be there Every Friday after my Art Critique meeting, just a few doors down at Coffee Ali's. I hope the community shows support for this Organic Foods Store, and believe they will.
Filling this Large empty spot will give a much needed look to the Vintage Hill Shopping Center. Leaving it empty is such an Eye Sore ~

I am just thrilled about this organic market. I will go to the new place because it is so close to home but I want to acknowledge what a fantastic job Raley's and Gene's have done in offering as much organic as they do. I know it isn't easy. I hope we can all support the new market so they will be able to stay. I go to the gym up there and they are already doing the construction!

I'm pleased that New Leaf is moving in but how on earth did this get approved so quickly (and quietly). It is amazing that Walmart works for months fighting to get approval and this store just magically gets approved.
a resident of Vineyard Avenue
on Oct 23, 2012 at 4:46 pm
This didn't magically get approved. It was actually announced last year in the Weekly. Just took this long to get it started. New Leaf will be a much welcomed new neighbor for the Vineyard area. Great location, good parking--it's a win-win. Glad to see its construction actually underway.

I'm so excited to have New Leaf moving in so close to me. I know it will be successful. We've needed a market along these lines for years.

YES! I love the one in HMB.
Not sure what TJ's was thinking, seems like it would have been a perfect fit for them.
a resident of Kottinger Ranch
on Oct 25, 2012 at 10:20 am
This is very welcome news indeed.Never heard of it for so many months and thought the whole deal is dead. We always try to buy organic.Will save time and gas in not having to go to Whole Food plus the tax dollars will stay local. Hope the new owners read this.

Something about eating pesticides has always turned me off. I'll shop at New Leaf regularly. Safeway is pretty pathetic when it comes to organic produce.

Isn't this the area that candidate Erlene DeMarcus wanted tear down and build high density housing? That is what she said in her letter to the editor in today's paper.

on Oct 26, 2012 at 7:44 am
Wait that was back when it was a "fallow" shopping center. Good thing that developer didn't get their way. The Vineyard area has more than their share of traffic, crowded housing and apartments.

Did anyone else notice the story headline and the estimated store opening date in the article differ? Which is correct? Opening this summer or next year some time?

Service is terrible, employees are rude and condescending. I have been telling my friends to stick with raleys instead. New leaf, get your act together

Went to New Leaf today. The service was friendly and the food was good. A wide variety of offerings, esp. in the deli section.
Want cheap food, go to McDonald's down the street. Want healthy food for your body, check it out.

Metro "selections" Red Maraschino Cherries?
Cheryl_C posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsDoes anyone know of the "Selections" brand of red maraschino cherries carried by Metro is safe? There's no wheat disclosed on the label, but I'm wondering about other sources of gluten. The label does say natural and artificial flavours (and colours, I believe) but it doesn't say what the sources are. I tried to call the customer service people but was left on hold forEVER and got no where.
Niagara Falls & Niagara-On-The-Lake
Cheryl_C posted a topic in Gluten-Free TravelI just came back from a trip to Niagara (Canada) and have some good news! 1) Niagara Falls (Canadian side) has a Milestones, a Keg (the other one is currently under construction), and an Outback! I was really sure I'd heard that ALL Outbacks in Canada had been closed, except for the ones in AB, but apparently that isn't true at all. 2) Niagara-on-the-Lake has a cute little cafe called The Irish Tea Room. Almost everything they have there is gluten-free. We ate their twice, and both times had ham & cheese quiche with lentil salad and broccoli salad. Their desserts are also gluten-free, but we did not have any room. I would definitely go back again. The food was excellent and the servers were very well-informed. Just thought I would share!
Refreshingly Free
Cheryl_C replied to Cheryl_C's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI'm still waiting for it to arrive. I've been excited ever since I placed my order, so the waiting is killing me. I really hope the quality is good! This was the only place I found with gluten-free nail polish for adults - everywhere else had very child-friendly colours (bright pink, neon green, orange) and nothing I was looking for (clear, classic red, pale pink, etc). It was a bit frustrating.
Doxycycline- Antibiotic
Cheryl_C replied to BrittLoves2Run's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI used doxycycline maybe 4 times a year, for a week or so at a time, for acne treatment. I've never had a gluten reaction, but it IS hard on the stomach and cause headaches, just like many antibiotics. I don't recall what brand I use, but my pharmacist checked for me and said it was gluten-free.
Mrs. Leeper's Hamburger Helper-Style Dinner
Cheryl_C posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsIn a word, ick. In another word, salt. We brought a box of this back with us from vacation, and I was excited! Now, having finished eating some (a few forkfuls) I feel completely dehydrated and a bit sick. Lesson learned:just because it says "gluten-free" and I'm excited about, doesn't mean it's going to be a good experience. Blech.
Nail Polish
Cheryl_C replied to tracijo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsCheck out www.refreshinglyfree.com - they sell gluten-free nail polishes (and removers) on their site. I ordered some but haven't received them yet, so I can't speak to their quality. Also, I believe Sally Hansen will clearly label any gluten ingredients on their products, but I can't remember where I saw that.
Cheryl_C replied to Debra Adkins's topic in Gluten-Free Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesCount me in for aspartame headaches! Because I don't have trouble with sugar, I'd rather have a bit of sugar than aspartame or any other artificial sweetener.
Certified gluten-free Oats Question
Cheryl_C replied to RPM's topic in Gluten-Free Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesI eat gluten-free oats, but not by the bowlful. I use them in baking - cookies, granola bars, that sort of thing. So far I haven't reacted to them, though my stomach has so many issues that sometimes it's hard to tell. In any case, if you were thinking about eating some, I wouldn't recommend eating a huge amount until you know how your body will handle it.
Refreshingly Free
Cheryl_C posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsWhile looking for gluten-free nail polish, I stumbled onto refreshinglyfree.com - a site that sells some gluten-free personal products! While not all their products are gluten-free, they have a section especially dedicated for wheat/gluten allergies. They have nail polish, body washes, shampoos, and other types of items. In addition, for those who have other sensitivities, they seem to specialize in low-odor, low-chemical products. I believe I saw some of their products are also soy-free. I know there are some on here who say you don't have to worry about gluten-free cosmetics and toiletries, and I respect everyone's right to make their own choices, but for those of us who are concerned, here is a good option. I ordered three bottles of nail polish today, and am looking forward to receiving them! Just thought I'd share.
Cheetos? Reacting From? Anyone Else Have Problems
Cheryl_C replied to Teri Lou's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisI had a reaction to Cheetos a few weeks ago. I was surprised, because I eat Fritos all the time with no trouble - I figured I would be ok. Sorry to hear you had trouble!
Kraft And Cross-Contamination O.0
Cheryl_C replied to cavernio's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI eat Kraft foods all the time. In fact, Kraft now gets the money I used to spend on PC products (and then some - ouch!) because they disclose gluten ingredients on their labels, and as far as I know, PC doesn't. I have never been glutened by a Kraft product, ever. Is it possible that a Kraft food product can make you sick? It's possible. Anything is possible. But I commend companies like Kraft who go the extra mile to be as clear as possible. Any time you eat anything at all, you're putting yourself at risk - if not for gluten, then perhaps salmonella, or e.coli, or something else. Food is tricky, and as a customer (as opposed to a grower/farmer) you never know 100%. It's refreshing to see a company do what it can to communicate well with the celiac community. As for the legalese ... well, unfortunately we live in a litigious world. It would be nice if companies didn't have to issue a CYA statement, but there are too many sue-happy people out there. A business has to look after itself. Incidentally, I trust the information I find on here way more than I trust information from anywhere else. Perhaps by "gluten-free" someone meant "not containing gluten-ingredients" which (for most) would likely be a safe option? No one here is out to get you or mislead you or get you sick. We're all in the same boat.
Post-Vacation Update
Cheryl_C replied to Cheryl_C's topic in Gluten-Free TravelI was impressed with the Outback, for sure. I wasn't entirely certain what to expect, as I'd forgotten what Outback was like - they've been gone from Canada for quite a long time now. However, I was really pleased with the extensive menu, and the consideration of our server. The Lobster Pot was by far the best food experience. Even setting the gluten-free issue aside, the food itself was just spectacular. Everyone in our party raved about their food (I was the only one gluten-free) and of course the service was spectacular. I hope you have a good time on your trip! I've always wanted to do the Cape in June; please let me know how it goes! And do stay far, far away from the Sea Side Pub. Blech.
Let's keep the Cape recommendations going! With a little luck, we'll be back next year. I started a new thread in the Restaurant section as a holiday wrap-up, so be sure to check it out.
Post-Vacation Update
Cheryl_C posted a topic in Gluten-Free TravelI just got back from my trip to Cape Cod, Mass. This was my first time going there since going gluten-free, so I was definitely nervous. Over the course of the trip, we ate dinner out 4 times. (The rest of the time we ate in, as we had rented a sort of town-house-cottage with efficiencies and made our own meals). The first restaurant we went to was The Outback in Albany, NY, on our way to Mass. They have a gluten-free menu, and our server was really enthusiastic about what they could do. I had a bun-free chicken sandwich with smoked bacon and cheese, with a side of steamed veggies. Everything was really good, and I didn't get glutened. Excellent! Also - they had a cute invitation on the menu to "bring your own bread" so you can build your sandwich at the table. The second restaurant was the Hearth and Kettle in Orleans, Mass. They have a gluten-free menu, and a pretty good selection. (Not as good as The Outback, but definitely more than salad!) I had grilled salmon with wild rice and pickled beets. Everything tasted good, and I didn't get glutened there either. Again, the server seemed well-informed, and even went out of her way to not place the bread basket anywhere near me. The third restaurant we went to was the Sea Side Pub in Hyannis, Mass. They have a gluten-free menu, and I spent some time talking with the server before ordering, since I was nervous - it was a pub, after all. She assured me that everything would be handled properly but .... this is the place that got me. I was sick as a dog before I even left the restauarant, and continued to feel sick for the next couple of days. So disappointing! I would definitely NOT eat there again. The last, and best restaurant was the Lobster Pot in Provincetown, Mass. After getting glutened at the pub, I was nervous about eating out. The host was very friendly and very sincere during the few minutes of conversation we had, which really helped me feel more confident. They have a gluten-free menu with lots of tasty seafood to choose from. Our server was beyond prepared for me - he set me right at ease, telling me about all the steps they take in the kitchen to prevent CC and how he'd never lost a customer yet to a glutening. I had grilled salmon and roasted red potatoes, and not only was the food definitely not contaminated at all, but it was super-tasty and beautifully prepared and presented. To sum up: Hearth & Kettle, Outback, Lobster Pot = gluten-free friendly, no problems! Sea Side Pub = terrible, not gluten-free friendly, run far away!
Thanks for the info! I'm going to get the list ($3 isn't bad) and I will try to check out the restaurant in Falmouth as well. Cheers!

DARDANELLE - The Lady Sand Lizards blanked the visiting Hector Lady Wildcats 15-0 in a non-conference softball game at Dardanelle.

Top 10 Automotive Agendas for 2014 & Beyond

2. Semi-autonomous car platform decisions
Its official. Both Nissan and Daimler made a public commitment this year, promising to roll out self-driving cars in 2020. Next year will be crucial to determine the underlying platform for semi-autonomous cars, which will eventually lead to self-driving designs.
You might say that 2020 for self-driving cars sounds too ambitious.
But the wheels are already turning, and theres no turning back. Automotive OEMs and tier-ones are flocking to the Wild Wide West of autonomous cars.
In order to meet their self-imposed 2020 deadline, carmakers must be ready with actual self-driving cars by 2017, since they need to put them on the road for testing.
Its important to note that most car OEMs are already eager to embrace advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). ADAS features include lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems and automatic parking.
ADAS-featured cars are considered semi-autonomous. They shouldnt be confused with self-driving cars, since ADAS still expects drivers to be at the wheel.
But the semi-autonomous platform will become the basis for self-driving, according to Davide Santo, Freescale's ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) microcontroller product line manager.
For anyone hoping to participate in the self-driving future, the second half of 2014 marks a sort of consensus deadline for leading car OEMs to make final decisions on architecture and technologies for semi-autonomous platforms.

As Tensions Rise, Pacifist Japan Marches Into a Military Revival
Sunday's Parliamentary Election Expected to Provide Mandate for Abe's National-Security Strategy
TOKYO—Masahisa Sato stood in a ballroom under a giant Japanese flag, reading to the after-work crowd from a letter a World War II kamikaze pilot sent his young daughter.
"Don't see yourself as a fatherless child. I will always be looking out for your safety," Mr. Sato quoted the pilot as writing before he flew his plane into a U.S. ship off the Philippines in 1944, with his daughter's favorite doll in the cockpit....

So, the other day Sandygirl posted a photo of her repurposed file cart, and I responded saying I had a similar cart in my basement. Sandygirl used hers for fabric, but I used mine in a different way.
My file cart has two drawers attached to the underside of the bottom shelf, and the hanging files are supposed to hang from the top shelf. At first, I was trying to put the drawer shelf at the top, and the plain shelf at the bottom (which isn't actually a shelf, because it was all open with no grid or anything). I found a piece of wood in my basement that could serve as a shelf. But all of a sudden - I had a brainstorm!
I left the drawer shelf at the bottom, covered the wood with layers of cotton batting, Insul-Brite and muslin, and voila! Now I have a rolling pressing surface that I can roll right up to my sewing table for ironing as I go. I have been using a tray table that I repurposed last year by covering it with batting and silver ironing board cover fabric, but this is much better and sturdier, and it's also the perfect height for pressing when I'm sitting down.
The drawers are the perfect size for holding my Best Press and spray starch, along with my quilt basting spray. I'm not sure what else will end up in there eventually! The shelf holds some of the Sterilite containers that I use for organizing my sewing room. They fit perfectly also - this was really meant to be, I'm sure.
Thanks a million, Sandygirl! And, all of the rest of you fabulous ladies who post repurposing ideas on this board. I learn something new here every single day, and I am so thankful for that.

Dear Ms. O'Neill,
Mr. Kenber needs to explain his misstatement of FACT. The Incorporation Petition contains an incorporation proposal that specifies an autonomous goverment and city council under general law of California. This petition is part of an application to Contra Costa County LAFCo to form such an autonomous government without obligation to citizens' participation via commissions and committees allowable under the general law of California.
All study by LAFCo, under the general law of California, is to say YES or NO to incorporation proposal summarized in the petition and detailed in the LAFCo application for such a city incorporation.
Good reporting should clarify this misstatement,

There is an important question now that proponents of incorporation have more than 1500 signatures and opponents have more than 2000 listed supporters.
Does anyone have a good recipe for chicken salad?

It must of been a senior moment for me, but I read this article to mean that each person only signed half their name and the volunteers were going to have to get the rest of each signature.
I could only imagine.
Good luck with incorporation, but don't copy Danville's mistakes and there are too many of them.

Managers, team leaders and frontline supervisors today face an incredible number of challenges, including reorganization problems, competition on an international basis and the infusion of technology and attendant changes that follow. Coupled with these challenges is a network of complex employment and labor laws that govern conduct in the workplace. As a result, incidents of employment litigation are rising. In the 2011 fiscal year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received a record number of charges (99,947), the highest number in its 46-year history.
There is no indication that employment discrimination cases will drastically decline in the near future. Certain types of workplace behavior have repeatedly presented a problem for employers in the litigation arena. As demonstrated below, the analogy of a landmine is quite appropriate—failure to abide by these basic principles is analogous to stepping on a landmine and later hearing the explosion. By paying attention to the landmines, however, managers and supervisors can minimize the risks of, or even avoid altogether, the explosion of litigation.
- Managers should give themselves a "Miranda warning"
We have all seen television police dramas and can probably recite Miranda warnings despite not practicing criminal law. In-house counsel and human resource professionals already know that when dealing with a sensitive issue or a particularly difficult employee, anything you say or do can be used against you in a court of law. However, most front-line managers do not instinctively approach workplace situations with this mindset. Guiding supervisors to think like this in thorny situations may help prevent some situations from growing exponentially worse.
The most important lesson with regard to email, voicemail and other electronic communications is that they never go away. Managers must proceed with the assumption that all messages are stored within the computer and can be retrieved at some point. Thus, any email that contains any even slightly inappropriate content can have a devastating impact during litigation (even if it is not directly related to the central issue).
In communicating electronically, supervisors must remember to be sensitive to all of the comments, jokes or even slight suggestions that could be considered inappropriate in the workplace. In particular, when creating electronic messages, supervisors should remember that every word could be retrieved in litigation and made public.
- Adequate training for supervisors
Managers and supervisors are often the first to know of problems and issues that arise in the workplace. Managers can be the eyes, ears and voice of the employer. Therefore, it is imperative that managers receive adequate training not only to deal with issues, but also to recognize when issues should be taken to human resources or the legal department.
Training should cover not only "normal" topics like anti-discrimination or anti-retaliation procedures and policies, but also current issues that may be applicable to that particular employer, such as social media and telecommuting.
- Realize that employee comments can be vague, but action is required
Most employers have an intergenerational workforce and with that comes different styles and methods of communication. Sometimes employees (from all generations) can be vague when making requests or complaints regarding the workplace. An untrained supervisor may inadvertently help build the employee's case if the supervisor is not properly equipped with the necessary tools and information to respond to the employee.
Recent developments highlight areas where an employee may make a vague statement that nonetheless triggers potential liability for the company. For example, the Supreme Court recently held that the anti-retaliation provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act protects employees who make verbal complaints.
Another potential hotspot where employees might be vague is a request for an accommodation. Prior to the amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), much of the litigation focused on whether an individual's impairment was a disability. However, after the enactment of the ADA Amendments Act, the best course of action may be to presume the impairment is a disability.
An employer has a duty to engage in a good faith interactive process with an employee upon receiving notice of the employee's disability. The interactive process requires a good faith exchange of information between employer and employee. However, courts have interpreted the regulations to place the burden on the employer to take the initiative and request additional information it deems necessary to provide an accommodation.
Human resources (and/or internal legal staff) can help detect the landmines before they explode. However, managers must be aware of the issues in order to spot the warning signs and bring them to the attention of the appropriate individuals in the organization.
- Document, document, document
Another widespread litigation landmine is proper documentation. Proper documentation of employees' performance and workplace conduct is essential. Specifically, clear and accurate records of any unacceptable performance or conduct must be made at or near the time of the behavior. This need not be an onerous burden; rather, a single paragraph description of the incident will often suffice. Failure to document leaves employers exposed to risky litigation by the disgruntled employee who may claim a discriminatory reason (sex, age, race, etc.) rather than his or her own conduct as the true reason for the adverse employment decision.
Another consequence of not documenting such events is that it leaves them open to individual interpretation, perception or recollection of what happened and can lead to vastly different versions of the events at trial.
Documentation also is beneficial in the short term because of the message it conveys to the employee. Written warnings send a clear message of what is expected of the employee, and often can spur great improvement in performance.

The Crew returns home after a two-match road trip to face the Portland Timbers on Sunday night (5:00 p.m. ET / FOX Sports Ohio). Before the two sides meet this weekend, here is a look back at their lone meeting in 2012.
The Crew kicked off a six-match unbeaten streak last season with a 0-0 road draw against the Portland Timbers. Andy Gruenebaum made seven saves in goal to deny the Timbers and help the Black & Gold to a hard-earned road point. The Crew would go on to secure 11 points from its next five matches.

CARSON, Calif. -- The Houston Dynamo will arrive at The Home Depot Center for Saturday's MLS Cup with a number of dangerous options in the midfield, be it Brad Davis, Ricardo Clark or Boniek Garcia and central to shutting down those Dynamo lynch pins will be LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho.
The Brazilian has been integral part of the Galaxy's run to the postseason, participating in all five of the club's MLS Cup Playoff matches this season while starting four. On Saturday, the Brazilian will need to be at his best again as he looks to shut down a Dynamo attack that has been clinically efficient on offense this postseason, notching eight goals to date.
"They've changed since last year. They have different players this year and good players in every position," said Juninho. "They have Davis back and that's very important for them so we have to be prepared. We are prepared for that and we're hoping to win again."
Injury concerns do linger for Juninho, however, as he has battled through an inflamed right Achilles for several weeks, but on Tuesday, head coach Bruce Arena affirmed Juninho is healthy and is expected to participate fully on Saturday.
There will be a familiar face on the other sideline as he will face off against another former Sao Paulo youth product, Houston midfielder Luiz Camargo. The two are old friends dating back to their teenage years and Juninho admitted that the discussions between the two old friends about the final have already begun.
"I've talked to him a few times last week and spoke to him about the final," said Juninho. "We're both excited. I hope that he's starting so that we can play against each other.

Defense Department civilian employees have begin taking the long expected -- and feared -- furlough days. (Stock image)
July 8 marked the first day back from a long weekend for many, but for 650,000-plus Defense Department civilian employees, it was the beginning of unwanted time off that will be spread over the next 11 weeks.
Pentagon officials estimate that by having non-military employees take one unpaid day of leave per week through Sept. 30, DOD will save roughly $1.8 billion through the end of the fiscal year. The furloughs are a result of the budget cuts required under sequestration.
The number of furlough days was reduced in May from an estimated 22 days to 11 after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel determined that the $10 billion from a congressional stop-gap funding measure would be enough to cut down on furlough days.
The furloughs come despite efforts to block them by the Federal Workers Alliance, a group of unions representing 300,000 federal employees.
"Behind every good soldier is a team of dedicated Defense civilian employees," FWA Chairman William Dougan said in a statement released July 1 announcing the alliance's campaign to stop the furloughs. "There is no good reason to send them home for 11 days of unpaid leave when they want to work. These people need to be on the job, not on the couch."
Just days before that, on June 28, DOD issued a memo reminding managers of the steps to take to manage workloads in the absence of civilian employees. Those steps include ensuring that they don't put "borrowed military manpower" to work filling in for missing civilians.
Additionally, "contractors are prohibited from being assigned or permitted to perform additional work or duties to compensate for the workload/productivity loss resulting from the civilian furlough," the memo states.
In the coming days, DOD officials are expected to provide Congress with a detailed analysis of sequestration's effects on the fiscal 2014 budget, the Washington Times reported. Hagel is expected to discuss the budgetary outlook this week.
In two recent public appearances, he touched on the furloughs and the budgetary difficulties that are resulting from sequestration, particularly with regard to the 2014 budget and beyond.
"Furlough is a tough thing, furloughing anybody for any reason. And I want you to know that this is an area that I gave as much attention to as any one thing, as to how do we minimize the downside and the impact on our people?" Hagel said in a June 28 town hall meeting with soldiers at Fort Carson, Colo. "I made the decision after weeks and weeks and weeks of looking at the budget, the numbers of the comptroller and all the leaders...that we could get this done with 11 days of furloughs, maybe better, but you need to be told as directly, clearly and honestly as you can what the facts are. And those are the facts."
In a June 26 press briefing, Hagel said officials are weighing the possibility of continued cuts under sequestration amid fiscal 2014 planning.
"We started out working on the assumption that [the president's 2014 budget] is the underlying budget, that is the underlying number," he said. "We wanted to assess all the options based on what may occur or continue to occur in the interest of preparing this enterprise to do the job that it is charged to do, and that's the security of this country. That means prepare option one: What [does] our budget in the world look like if sequestration continues?"
Central to those deliberations is the Strategic Choices and Management Review, for which Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, completed gathering recommendations from the military services at the end of May. The review of budgetary components, responsibilities and priorities based on different scenarios is helping to guide preparations for potential further cuts, Hagel said.
"I'm assessing that now," he said. "All of our uniformed and civilian leadership was involved, top to bottom, which I wanted. We looked at everything. And based on those numbers, based on those assessments, based on those possibilities and different scenarios, then that will inform our leadership as to how we prepare for next year's budget as we present it in early 2014 for 2015. But also in the event that we're going to be living with sequestration, then I can't do anything else, nor can the leadership, but try to get ahead of this and prepare. That's what it's about."

Scott buzz growing at Meetings
Astros rumored to be in talks with Padres for outfielder
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com
The Padres would likely offer Minor Leaguers, although their top two prospects are not available. Padres general manager Kevin Towers hasn't labeled any of his players "untouchable," but it's more than likely third baseman Chase Headley and second baseman Matt Antonelli are off the table.
Still, the Padres and Astros may be a fit. The Padres prospects who may be available include catcher Nick Hundley, outfielder Will Venable or pitchers Josh Geer or Wade LeBlanc.
Towers and Astros GM Ed Wade could make good trade partners, considering they have a solid working relationship that dates back to Wade's time with the Padres as a professional scout. He was working in that capacity when he was hired by the Astros in September.
While the Astros are working on several possible deals, Wade, who does not talk about trades, said on Tuesday, "We're still in dialogue with a couple different clubs. I still think we have a chance to do some things before we leave here. Realistically, today may shape up to be quiet as far as bringing anything to closure."
Wade is glad the Astros have been proactive throughout the offseason. Otherwise, several deals that fell through for them this week would have been doubly as disappointing.
"[If] you had some of the stuff that's happened to us in the last 30 hours or so happen, it would drive you nuts to go through that," Wade said with a slight chuckle. "It's nice to have some things done."
Wade and his staff worked late into the night Monday and all day Tuesday as they continued talks with several clubs on various fronts. As always, pitching is the priority but not the only focus. Wade confirmed that often "we thought were really close, that we thought were a phone call away from getting some things done," only to discover those propositions "got parked in neutral and some of them went south on us."
The White Sox and Rockies are believed to have interest in second baseman Chris Burke, who lost his job when the club signed Kaz Matsui. A source from the White Sox downplayed the club's interest, however, advising to "not look too much into it."
Although the Astros and Orioles discussed Miguel Tejada in the last week, as of Tuesday, nothing is brewing. The probability of the teams reaching an agreement were downgraded from a two on a scale of one to 10 to "zero" by a Major League source on Tuesday.
Wade hopes to make a deal before he and his staff depart Nashville on Thursday, but he's not counting on anything.
"If we don't make a trade and we don't sign a free agent and we don't get anybody in the Rule 5 Draft, we'll be disappointed," he said. "But it won't be the end of the world. We've done some things and we'll continue to do some things after."
Other news and notes from Astros camp:
Mark Loretta's agent, Bob Garber, contacted Wade on Tuesday to gauge the club's interest in retaining Loretta for 2008. The Astros offered Loretta arbitration and the utility infielder has until Friday to accept or reject the offer.
Should Loretta accept, he would be considered a signed player with a salary to be determined. However, he would be committing to a team that has no starting position for him, and Loretta's playing time could be limited considering the Astros recently signed Geoff Blum, a left-handed-hitting utility man who can play all infield positions. Burke is also still with the club, although he's likely to be traded, and the Astros recently signed infielder Tomas Perez to a Minor League contract. Wade expects Perez, who is currently playing for Al Pedrique in the Venezuelan Winter League, to compete for a roster spot next spring.
That said, Wade still has great interest in retaining Loretta, one of the most productive offensive Houston players in 2007.
"His versatility is very appealing," Wade said. "When you start talking about carrying 12 pitchers, as most clubs are apt to do these days, you really have to have versatility, play different positions, do different things. That's why Mark has appeal. Let him fight for a job, beat somebody out. He's a veteran guy and he's been in this position before and has figured out a way to get a lot of playing time. We'll have to see if his familiarity with the organization is enticing to him or not."
The Astros and Craig Biggio's agent, Barry Axelrod, were tentatively scheduled to meet on Tuesday regarding a personal services contract for the retired second baseman. That meeting did not take place due to time restraints, but it is likely the two sides will gather at some point before the Winter Meetings conclude on Thursday.
Brad James, an up-and-coming right-hander who could factor into the Astros' future, will undergo surgery to insert a screw in his fractured right foot.
The surgery will be performed in the coming days at The Methodist Hospital by Dr. Nathan Varner. James will be in a boot for approximately six weeks, and he will begin throwing following removal of the boot. He is expected to be ready for Spring Training next February.
James, 23, was selected by the Astros in the 29th round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. The right-hander was 9-2 with a league-best 1.98 ERA over 16 starts for Class A Salem in 2007, and following a promotion to Double-A Corpus Christi, he was 1-5 with a 5.17 ERA over nine starts. James was recently added to the club's 40-man roster.

How To Text Like a Horrible Monster
Would you like to behave like a terrible manipulative teenager into your late 20s? If so, text messaging can very much help, as detailed in the Wall Street Journal today.
Shawn Farner, 26, purposely waits hours or days to return text messages from girls he likes, in order to keep them on edge. He thinks anyone who doesn't do the same is probably a loser. "A little alarm goes off in my head if a girl is really quick to respond," he told the Journal. Mary Delano, 29, sent her husband a blank text to trick him into calling her after a fight. She pretended it was accidental. "A blank text is a way to break the ice," she said. It also pairs well with lying to your soulmate, apparently. Justine Campbell, 23, sent fake drunk texts to guys she likes to see if they turn lewd. Which is actually kind of clever, if deceptive and self undermining.
Texting is "perfect for manipulation," an MIT psychologist tells the paper, which concludes that "Texting Turns Us Back Into Teenagers." Actually, no. Given that everyone quoted in the article is in their 20s, it sounds like texting gives obnoxious young people a way to extend their childish years a little bit. Once these kids gain a little maturity, they'll move on to more intricate schemes involving passive aggressive emails, snarky whispers, self mocking flirtation, strategic drinking, and vague legal threats, just like the rest of us.

Your best bet is to render your video with a black bar at the bottom -- so the subs will be rendered in the black bar.
If you wish to have it EXACTLY like the above example , you can do it with AviSynth.
1. Create a black? band the width of your video. In my case it was 640 and I made it 640x50 for 2 lines height. I saved it as image1.jpg
2. Create the aviSynth script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ffms2.dll")
v = FFVideoSource("C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\aCommercial HD.flv")
A = FFAudioSource("C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\aCommercial HD.flv")
ab = AudioDub(V, A)
ac=ImageSource("C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\Image1.jpg",p ixel_type="RGB32")
ad=Overlay(ab,ac,x=0, y=290,opacity = 1.0,mask=ac.ShowAlpha())
#Opacity runs from 0.0(transparent ) to 1.0 (fully opaque)
Return ad
3. Load the script into Virtualdub or whatever you are going to use for subtitle addition.
I used ffms2 because I've had some problems with Directshowsource and avisource but they may work for you as well. in which case use:
ab=directshowsource("C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\aCommerc ial HD.flv")
ac=ImageSource("C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\Image1.jpg",p ixel_type="RGB32")
ad=Overlay(ab,ac,x=0, y=290,opacity = 1.0,mask=ac.ShowAlpha())
#Opacity runs from 0.0(transparent ) to 1.0 (fully opaque)
Return ad

@Thankx Budman 1.
Yes, i want the same style as you created above. But can you please elaborate the whole process slowly. Moreover, i am using Ageisub for my subtitles. Please repeat the steps in easy manner. above steps just confused me.
Again Thanks.
You don't need to use AviSynth for this. You could use any NLE to add a dark bar then render subs on top of it.
But if you want to learn AviSynth: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Main_Page#New_to_AviSynth_-_start_here
In my script YPOS is the vertical position of the top of the dark bar. HEIGHT is the height of the bar. You can control the brightness of the bar within the ColorYUV() filter. I set the brightness (gain) to -128 which represents a 50 percent reduction of brightness. You could set it to -256 for a totally black bar.

Using Aegisub for creating your subtitles is fine but this process will be used in the one where you create the video with the black band ready for the display of the subtitles. Also, you must have AVISynth installed to use this method.
1. First you must create a small image that is just the black band that you will overlay on top of your video at the point you wish. Since my video was 640x360, I used a graphics editor (paint shop Pro)to create an image 360x50 and filled it with the color black.
2. Now that you have your overlay image, you create the AVISynth script you will use in place of the actual video. Use a text editor and create the lines of the script as mentioned above and save with the extension AVS. Example: "video Name.avs"
3. In my case I played the AVS file with Potplayer and selected the subtitle file I wanted it to use. The avs file did as the script tells it to. Display the video, overlay the black image1.jpg, 290 pixels down the screen (290 + 50 in height = 340, leaving 20 pixels of video at the bottom of my 360 high video). This is only to PLAY the video with the subtitle band displayed.
4. If you wish to make a permanent video with the band PERMANENTLY embedded over your video, you will need some kind of video editor that accepts AVISynth files such as VirtualDub, FFmpeg, and many others. When you finish you will have a video with a black band across it. If you play it and select your subtitles, they should show up in the band. You may have to adjust location if your subs are ASS or SSA. I used SRT as default location. I used FFMpeg as command line with the line:
ffmpeg -i "C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\sub line2.avs" -acodec copy -crf 20 -vcodec libx264 "C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\Commercial.flv"
5. Optional : If you are going to embed your subtitles as well, then use a program such as VirtualDub, load the AVS file into it and add your subtitle filter and create the finished video in one process.
You can PM me if you have more questions on THIS procedure.
Love that one!
According to the SSA/ASS specifications, "BorderStyle=3" gives you an opaque box around each subtitle entry.
IMNSHO, this would be much better than a dark bar screwing the picture during the entire playback time...

@Budman & Jagabo! You guys rocks!
Thanks for your support on this. Really appreciate your help.
El Heggunte is absolutely right. Having a black bar in the lower part of the video and all the way across for the whole time is ridiculous. I'm not even a big fan of rectangular boxes when the subs are on (as YouTube does it these days), but at least it's only on when there's a subtitle. Is there something wrong with using the traditional black outline? If the idea is to make sure the subs are readable and not annoy the hell out of the viewer, that's the way to go.
I agree the black box is annoying. But I don't care what people want to do to their videos.
he might be excused for thinking it's cool and want to do something like it himself. So I'm just here to say it's not okay. This is 'videohelp.com', not 'videoruin.com'.

bellow example ffmpeg syntax (it is not even close to perfect but good to start improving it)
ffmpeg -y -i %1 -vf "scale=480:272 [xxx]; color=c=0x22882240:s=480x32 [yyy] ; [xxx] [yyy] overlay=0:238, drawtext=text='text_you_like - can be substituted by subtitle':fontfile=font_you_like.ttf:x=32:y=246:fontsize=20:fontcolor=white [xxx] ; movie=logo_you_like.png [yyy]; [xxx] [yyy] overlay=W-w-16:H-h-64, scale=480:272" -c:v libx264 -preset fast -tune film -profile:v high -level 4.1 -x264opts "bitrate=2000:vbv-maxrate=5000:vbv-bufsize=1000" -crf:v 20 -b:a 128k -acodec ac3 "%1_overlay.mp4
One final note here if this is for a video such as a demo or lecture or some video where you wish the attention a bar gets, You can have the ASS subtitles extend all the way across the screen to simulate a black bar by using the border style El Heggunte pointed out, dummy characters, and color attributes. Ass style works best because you can specify not to wrap a line if it is too long and makes the preparation of the subtitles easier. Just a note in case someone else would like... or not...
Yes i want this black bar for some type of lecture, where i don't have to bother about animations or effects. Since Black border gets attention of the viewer, that's y i opted for black bar. Yes, i am working with ASS files and i applied some effects. The idea for wrapping the lines is nice, surely i would try all tips with my file.
Thanks all for your support on this!
Just because something has a black border does NOT always mean it grabs their attention. What it does is provide a strong visual contrast enough so that the text/subs are clearly legible.
This SHOULD work in favor of increasing one's attention, but it doesn't necessarily have to do that, particularly if the bar is constant. Then, it becomes almost a non-entity.
Similar how most (but NOT all) artwork in an art gallery is framed to separate the "ART" from the "non-ART".
@jagabo, I really like your reuse of the clip itself as the bar! Very economical, as well as simplifying the sizing & colorspace compatibility.

If you need a portable bed, then you need to know what type of bed to get. You want something that can easily be put up and taken down without any problems. This is when an air mattress might come in handy. You do not have to worry about having to do loads of steps in order to get the bed in good working order since it blows up in just seconds. It deflates in seconds as well when you're not using it and you want it out of the way.
This is great for on the go, or even when you have the whole family spending the holiday weekend at your home and everyone needs somewhere to sleep. Everyone should have a comfortable spot, and having one of these affordable mattresses can provide just that for each one of your guests that come to stay. Why think about it any longer?

I have a function in a program that's something like the following. When I try to output what it returns, however, it doesn't print anything on the screen. The following isn't exactly what I'm using, but it gets the point across.
Alternately, if I replace the contents of the function with:Code:const char* getcolor(bool top) { stringstream color_convert; string string1; if (top == 1) color_convert << 160; else color_convert << 200; string1 = color_convert.str(); return string1.c_str(); }
then it will return something that I can print out. Does anyone know why this is? I'm guessing it's something to do with pointers- like in the first function, the pointer to the string is empty after it's returned or something? It's weird though because both functions use pointers to stuff. I don't see why one should be empty and the other not.Code:const char* c_string1 = "160"; return c_string1;

School safety resources: Preparedness is key
In light of last months tragedy in Connecticut, school safety has been at the forefront of school leaders minds. The U.S. Department of Education has compiled a collection of resources related to school safety.
Topics range from helping children recover from traumatic events to creating and updating school emergency management plans. South Dakota Administrative Rule 24:43:09:01 requires school boards to have written plans for the safety of their students. These plans must include drills for events of fire, tornado and other disasters. These disaster preparation drills must be documented and are part of a schools accreditation process.
Quick thinking and action taken by administrators and teachers prevented further losses during the Sandy Hook tragedy. Although its scary to think about, encouraging school boards to have plans in place, and hold drills for, other disaster situations such as this can be key to minimizing losses in the event of a tragedy.
The South Dakota Department of Public Safety can also offer assistance by reviewing plans and helping to evaluate current or prospective security measures.

i just found this on the web , if you know what the show rugrats was .... then get ready
The Rugrats really were a figment of Angelica's imagination. Chuckie died a long time ago along with his mother, that's why Chaz is a nervous wreck all the time. Tommy was a stillborn, that's why Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for the son who never had a chance to live. The DeVilles had an abortion, Angelica couldn't figure whether it would be a boy or a girl thus creating the twins.
As for "All Grown Up" the teenage Angelica became addicted to various narcotics which further aggravated her Schizophrenia, bringing her back to her childhood and thus her creations she obsessed over, because of time lapse between the present and the last time she interacted with her creations, she made them older. Angelica was constantly taking hits of acid, so she would never have to live without her creations who were her only company. In a judgemental world, Angelica's mom actually died of a heroine overdose and Drew in his depression married a gold digging whore that Angelica idolized because she fooled herself into thinking it was her real mom but always had a concept of her mom, Cynthia, and took a barbie doll and made it after her mom's image, wearing an unwashed orange dress and having jacked up hair, which is why she was so attached to it. Later in life she followed in her mom's footsteps with drugs and everything, dying of overdose at age 13 when All Grown Up! was "cancelled".
The only rugrat not to be fictional however, was stillborn Tommy's brother Dil. However, Angelica didn't know the difference between Dil and her creations, although Dil didn't follow her commands. After endless crying and a refusal to disappear like the others did when Angelica was angry with them, she hit him. Due to this, he sustained a brain hemorrhage, which resulted in a deformation. As he grew up, his damage only became more evident and by the time he was 9 in "All Grown Up!" he lived as an outcast, being ridiculed for his weirdness and retardation. The immense guilt over this is what led Angelica to her drug use and is what led Angelica to un-create the Rugrats briefly, until her experience with hallucinogenics.
On a trip to Paris to find love, Chaz married a woman named Kira (He was actually going to marry a different woman named Coco, but she just wanted him for his money.) who had a daughter named Kimi that was torn from her because she was a cocaine addict (Angelica imagined her from Kira's stories). He lost his mind after the death of his wife and was in denial that she was ever prostitute. Upon return to America, Chaz and Kira married and she got her greencard. It was actually a really happy and romantic story. Kira continually stuggled with addiction, but was relatively happy with her life and Chaz
Suzie was actually Angelica's only friend, who entertained the thought of Angelica's creations, for her sake. Angelica spent the last days of her life in the back of the school cafeteria, imagining friends around her and playing with the lives of her creations.

I was wondering what the best way to do this would be. I want to read an XML file into memory, modify the DOM tree (I can build this myself if I need to), and write the XML data out again, preserving the original formatting wherever possible. This means, of course, that the XML reader has to take into account whitespace and comments originally in the XML file, and have some sort of scheme for generating whitespace so that new tags line up reasonably well with the existing ones.
I don't mind trying to write something like this myself, but I thought I'd ask for opinions before I started. Perhaps something like this already exists? It seems like it would be a relatively common problem.
Also, I was starting a new project the other day, and I decided to use C++ and bzr just to be different (i.e. instead of C and git). But I must have recently upgraded my (Debian Lenny) bzr, because it always hangs while running (pre-commit?) hook number 3/5, and messes up the repository.
I'm assuming that this is a Debian thing, because I've used bzr before and it worked just fine. I'm not expecting much help with this right now, because I haven't posted the error messages (which I do have, in ~/.bazaar.log, just not on this machine). I just thought I would mention it to see if someone else is having similar problems . . . .
[I put these two seemingly different topics into one thread because they pertain to the same program, which I'll probably have more questions about in the future . . . .]

Another one for all the beetle experts.............Found this one on a Corn on the cob plant (crop) and have tried to find it online but to no avail. The only thing similar was the rare Blue pepperpot beetle (Cryptocephalus punctiger) apart from the orange in its paint job , I'm guessing it's the same family? Can anyone tell me its species please? Thanks!
Gastrophysa polygoni, I think.
Thanks Clive that's great!

The LG Glance is a basic candybar, targeting users who seek for a more affordable phone. However it does have a little something to make it distinguishable and that is the golden-like pattern on the back, which, combined with the really thin body, measuring at only 0.38 inches, gives it a really fashionable look. Specs wise, the Glance offers a 2-inch QVGA screen and 1.3-megapixel camera

The unbeaten No. 3-ranked Bayfield High School football team converted two first-quarter fumble recoveries into touchdowns en route to a 47-7 victory over Pagosa Springs on Friday night, clinching the inaugural Western League championship in the process.
The Wolverines, who led 27-0 in the first quarter, scored twice on their first six offensive plays in a matchup of former Intermountain League rivals.
Allec Rodriguez started the scoring parade when he broke free on a 58-yard scoring run on Bayfields third play from scrimmage.
Two plays later, after Joe Zink recovered a Pagosa Springs fumble, TJ Pazell ran 14 yards up the middle for another Bayfield score the first of his four touchdowns.
Pagosa Springs fumbled again on its next possession, setting up Bayfield quarterback Matt Knickerbocker for a 1-yard scoring run with 6:04 left in the first quarter.
Not done yet, Pazell had a 35-yard run and then a 1-yard scoring run to give Bayfield a 27-0 first-quarter lead the Wolverines most prolific quarter of the season.
Pagosa Springs collected three Bayfield turnovers in the second quarter, but the Pirates could not take advantage of the interception and two fumble recoveries.
Pazell scored his third touchdown on a 60-yard run up the middle midway through the third period.
The 40-point running clock mercy rule kicked in after Bayfields Anthony Chamblee bolted 60 yards, setting up a 10-yard touchdown pass from Knickerbocker to Trey Lange with 4 minutes, 35 seconds to play in the third quarter.
Pazells final touchdown came when he picked up a Pirates fumble and returned it 14 yards with a minute to play in the third.
Dom Brittain added the final conversion kicks for the Wolverines (9-0, 7-0 WL).
Pagosa Springs (1-8, 1-6 WL) got on the scoreboard with 6:52 to play when Dalton Madden scooped up a Bayfield fumble and returned it 50 yards for a score.
Its a great honor to be a part of two consecutive ... undefeated regular seasons, Bayfield head coach Gary Heide said in his postgame interview on KLJH 107.1 FM.
Hats off to the Wolverines, he said. Nine-and-0 two years in a row.
Last year BHS reached the state championship game before losing for the first time.
Heide said the Wolverines will have to avoid the flurry of turnovers like they had at Pagosa Springs on Friday night.
That was lack of concentration at that stage of the game. Obviously, you cant have turnovers (in the playoffs), Heide said.
But I know, they (Wolverines) have a lot in them yet.
The Wolverines will play in the CHSAA Class 2A Boys Football State Championships next Saturday; the playoff pairings for the state tournament are expected Sunday.
Sunday we find out, Heide said. We expect to be home. But ... now, you have to play well at home or away.
The Wolverines, ranked No. 3 by The Denver Post, likely will host a first-round home game for the third consecutive season.

|I arrived Wed. night late. I had trouble finding my way to Kite Lake road. I wasn't sure where the trailhead was but I made the right guess. I started hiking at 4:00am and summited the first peak at 5:45. It was still dark. That was pretty awesome. I grabbed a quick munch and moved on. The second summit was farther than I thought and wasn't much to look at and didn't even count. I continued on and summited Mt. Lincoln, the best out of the four. It was cold and windy so I didn't even sit down. I moved back to the saddle and continued to Mt. Bross. It was an easy traverse on a mining road. After summiting Bross I descended down the west slope drainage, it was hell. I arrived back to my truck at around 9:30am.

Rep. Scott Tiptons fourth television ad keeps up his drumbeat of criticism against his Democratic challenger, state Rep. Sal Pace, D-Pueblo.
Tipton, R-Cortez, criticizes Pace for a series of votes in the 2010 Legislature on bills that Republicans dubbed the dirty dozen, a package of tax bills proposed by former Gov. Bill Ritter in order to avoid cutting school budgets during the recession. Pace voted for most of the bills.
Pace raised taxes on fuel, agriculture, cars, movie rentals, plastic bags, you name it. Even soda and candy. But worst of all, Pace raised property taxes on our senior citizens on fixed incomes a devastating blow, the narrator in Tiptons ad says.
The ads assertions are true in general, although they require some context.
The 2010 bills removed tax exemptions for a variety of special items. Democrats dispute the idea that these bills count as tax increases, because they just suspended special tax breaks without raising tax rates in general.
The ad asserts that Pace raised taxes on fuel. That statement could mislead some viewers, because the bill for which Pace voted (House Bill 10-1190) removed a sales-tax exemption for industrial fuel use, and it had nothing to do with gas for cars.
The ad also talks about an agriculture tax. Pace initially voted for HB 10-1195, to remove a sales-tax exemption on farm inputs like fertilizer, but he voted against the bill on final passage.
The car tax bill (HB 10-1196) limited an income-tax break for buying alternative-fuel vehicles like the Ford Escape or Toyota Camry hybrids.
There was no specific bill about taxing movie rentals. But the ad does site a bill on taxation of Internet sales the so-called Amazon tax. Amazon and some other Internet retailers do rent movies.
The tax on plastic bags came from a bill to remove sales-tax exemptions on incidental items from restaurants, like bags, napkins and ketchup packets. And the candy and soda bill removed the exemption for those items from the states 2.9 percent sales tax.
Finally, the ad restates a charge Tipton made earlier this month, that Pace raised property taxes on senior citizens.
The bills in question suspended the homestead exemption, which gives seniors a discount of up to 50 percent on their property taxes, but only if they have lived in their homes at least a decade.
Republicans and Democrats have voted to suspend the exemption in order to balance the budget over the last 10 years.

Carter currently owns about 2.5 acres on West Ponce De Leon Avenue. This land will soon house about 240 apartment units and 10,000 square feet of retail.
The new project will be built around already existing Decatur Court. The office building was recently purchased by affiliates of Weaver and Woodbery and Redstone Investments for nearly $9 million.
Decatur, which has been called one of Georgia's most livable cities, is known for its mix of popular restaurants and boutiques.
The city recently renewed its effort to add new apartments. No new units have been added since the completion of Ice House Lofts in 1999.
Last month Decatur's Assistant City Manager Lyn Menne optimistically shared news about the new projects with Atlanta Business Chronicle.
"We do have a lot of interest in downtown right now, said Menne. "We definitely have projects that were approved in the past, right before the economy tanked, that we are beginning to see come back."
Other developers such as Cousins Properties Inc. are also considering developing sites in downtown Decatur.
According to a study done by Affordable Housing, the city's One Callaway Square is one of the top development opportunities. The site is located near Decatur High School, at North McDonough Street and West Trinity Place.
There is also a possibility for a new mixed-use redevelopment "Trinity Triangle" located at East Trinity Place and East Howard Avenue. There were plans for development back in 2007 but they fell apart.

I have the latest version of ZA Extreme (10.0.241.000) and installed the Forcefield update on 30/06/2011. I updated Firefox to v5 to work with the Forcefield toolbar as it requested.
When I first opened FF, a small Forcefield icon was displayed in my Windows taskbar, the icon has now disappeared and will not return. I have never seen the ZA toolbar in FF. In addition, when I enable the Browser Virtualisation and open FF, Zonealarm crashes.
Does anyone else experience these issues?
Does anyone else know how to sort them out?
