Samsung Galaxy Note. First Look
Today, large companies, especially corporate giants like Samsung, do not surprise users with extraordinary products...
|First look. Sony ST21i Tapioca Microsoft Windows Phone 7: Reasons for Failure First Look at Samsung Galaxy S3 as a 2012 Flagship
HP iPaq 5450 - the first iPaq with Hewlett Packard logo
Probably, it sounds blasphemously, but I do not like iPaq, though I respect this brand. Perhaps, Compaq Company managed to do the thing, which the others tried unsuccessfully - to create an image handheld computer. A computer focused on the elite audience, and high price is caused basically by brand, image of the manufacturer company, thought-out design. Though, for the sake of justice it is necessary to note, that iPaq models always have been in advance from their colleagues on the product niche.
At first sight
Undoubtedly, the first, that is evident - changed trade mark on the forward panel of handheld computer. If earlier, down to model 3970 there flaunted the name "Compaq", now - victorious "HP". Certainly, we feel sorry for deserted by now "Jornada" brand, but HP has made a correct choice, the choice for a benefit of solvent clients. Because of the parents change, the design has also changed, but sufficiently thought over: on the one hand it, undoubtedly, differs from the earlier one, on the other hand, all the basic features are kept. That's like "that" design, but modified, and improved. Calculation is made on the preservation of the general model line style and on the old, checked up users who have already got used to certain forms. The left top corner of computer is decorated with thick and short aerial, giving rather significant kind to the device.
Top black plastic "cap" became a little bit graceful, and now there are three light-emitting display diodes: for Bluetooth, WI-Fi and the third, not used yet, probably for any special needs … Managing buttons and joystick have also hardly changed their places, probably to give a place for the finger print scanner - to the main peculiarity of the 5455 model. Joystick did not become more convenient - it became less and now is designed, mainly, only under graceful fingers, as, however the scanner.
At second sight
I do not know what for, but during several years Compaq assiduously ignored such useful things to the user as replaceable basic and reserve batteries. HP has corrected both defects. Li-polymer accumulator with 1,350 MAh capacity, 3.7 V, is used as the replaceable battery. Soon, probably, the strengthened variant of the battery in capacity of 2,500 MAh will appear. The reserve battery is inaccessible to user and, as against habitual standards, capable to support service ability of the handheld computer within several minutes at the moment of the basic power supply change.
Under the battery, as well as in any self-respecting cellular telephone :-) is the place for SIM-card. But there is no software in 5450, "sharpened" under a cellular telephone - it's a privilege of the future products.
The finger prints scanner
Probably, it is one of the basic features of 5450 model. Truly a quite good thing, really working. Thus to the person, who did not read the instruction, it is necessary to tinker, before he finds where is latent the scanner's software. And it settles down in the standard inset "password" in the options panel.
Training can borrow some time, depending on the fingers amount that you want "to remember". It's possible to remember all the 10. Probably, it is useful in case you work on Yakudza where for faults it is accepted to pay cutting off fingers. For training of the computer, each finger is necessary to lead the specified body on the scanner up to 5 times, and to not hurry up. The main thing is that, both the procedure of training and the process of password use are sufficiently interactive and clear even without reading instructions … After training the computer will open dutiful, obeying the print of any of the scanned fingers.
Perhaps, the prints scanner will make iPaq popular among corporate users, in particular, storing the confidential information in the handheld computers. First, it is really reliable: the password "does not fall down" even after rigid reboot, and, secondly, it is simply more natural, than input of a numerical code - you should not take stylus, to remember the password - you pass the finger over and that's all.
Communication opportunities
Among handheld computers consumers, perhaps, 5450 model has the maximum of communication opportunities that makes it attractive both for simple users and corporate markets. If Bluetooth and infra-red communication - are the throughout user formats, intended for creation of a local network within the limits of a small apartment or a separate individual, Wi-Fi or 802.11b - wireless Ethernet - more serious thing, demanding the professional approach, points of access and intervention of programmers or web designers.
Audio opportunities
It is necessary to tell about it especially, because there are a lot of changes. In spite of the fact that the speaker is located in the top of black panel, as well as in previous models, the microphone has moved downwards, creating, along with the slot for SIM-card surprisingly a fertile soil for communicator. It would be desirable to hope, that it's business of software - hardware opportunities are available! The socket for headphones has settled down below now, as the place at the top was occupied with the aerial of wireless communication.
Thus, except for headphones, it can perceive external microphones. The button which in early models of iPaq answered only for the beginning of the record now has turned into the swing and manages the sound: pressing plus increases loudness, a minus - reduces, and pressing in the middle - makes active a dictaphone.
Perhaps, the last feature about which would be desirable to mention - vibration alert, earlier, being the privilege only of cellular telephones, and now, gradually consolidating the positions, migrating in handheld computers. It activates on the dropping out menu - "bubble" of loudness adjustment.
And the rest...
Few words about other hardware opportunities of iPaq 5450. Intel PXA250 (400MHz), 64 Mb of RAM, 48 Mb Flash ROM, the transflective screen with backlight , till now one of the best, among handheld computers, SD slot with SDIO (SD in/out) function, memory which allows besides cards to use also periphery in SD format. All these characteristics - more or less standard set of the advanced pocket computer, being added with all basic kinds of wireless communication, the scanner of finger prints and the thought over design make this handheld computer by the doubtless the leader of the market, a computer precisely focused on the broad audience of users, the competent product qualitatively made and, that the main thing, is skilful positioned in the market. So Hewlett Packard has managed to keep and increase great achievements of Compaq in the field of pocket computers, my applause!

The fun, flirty, fashionable golf blog - We cover golf for women & men... competitive players & casual fans, living the golf lifestyle. Golf is our passion.
Only Two Things - Mars, Venus & The Favre Sext Case
The latest... now commonly known as the Favre Sext Case... has many of the elements seen in other recent scandals: a sexy sidelines reporter, a male athlete misbehaving and copious use of technology for intimate communication purposes. And as different as the details may be in the individual cases, they all seem to lend themselves to the question of sexism in sports; in the reporting and presentation of sports by the media and in the behavior of athletes and officials... but also in the way sports are enjoyed by fans of both sexes.
Jason Whitlock declares that "The entire sports media industry is polluted by sexism" in defense of the latest "victim" Jenn Sterger, who's been painted as a ruthlessly ambitious gold digger/fame whore by some, he decries the boys-will-be-boys-and-girls-will-be-eye-candy culture of the NFL, but acknowledges that it'll be difficult to change.
Bloomberg writer Scott Soshnick, actually sees this as a moment the to further engage what Commissioner Roger Goodell called the most encouraging new revenue stream for the NFL: no, not wireless... women. Mr. Soshnick feels that not only do they need to continue stressing that men behaving badly won't be tolerated but they also need to make the sport more "female-friendly" in a fan-engagement rather than a shrink & pink sort of way. He's got some interesting suggestions.
Playboy Golf event that was fun, sexy and... completely "female-friendly". It can be done, but how many organizations are ready to do it. Do you feel these recent scandals have made sports organizations more aware of the issues the issues they have with some female fans? Do they see the value in female fans and are they willing to risk the status quo to make changes? That'll be our topic tonight on Only Two Things. You can join the conversation too... on-air... by using our call-in number, which is: 917-889-9592. Or... weigh in at the chat room or on Twitter... or just have a listen at Blog Talk Radio. We'll be live from 9:30 - 10:30 ET.

Honestly, I feel that all of our *new technology* is to blame for much of what has been brought to light in sports these days. It used to be that more than half of the sports stars had dubious affairs, but we didn't have to hear the details. I kind of long for those days gone by. Of course, women weren't allowed behind the scenes back then either. I say if you can't stand the heat then get the hell out of the kitchen, or something like that. If women want to be with the big boys, then they have to be able to take whatever comes at them, or don't play. As we all know, men aren't easily changed. What am I saying? Men only change if they want to, which means it probably won't happen, especially when it comes to sports.ReplyDelete
Just my humble, old lady opinion... ;-)
I'm not going to go digging because doing s would only give the purveyors of salaciousness another click, but my understanding is that the Favre thing happened when he was a member of the NY Jets, 2008. The "scandal" didn't become public until a few days before Favre and his new team, Minnesota, came to New York for Monday Night Football. Call me skeptical, but I think something's rotten in the Big Apple.ReplyDelete
Well said, SP.ReplyDelete
Of course abject harassment of any sort.. sexual or otherwise... should be condemned at every workplace, but I think that when women actively choose to play the role of... say... "NFL eye-candy", they should make sure they're up to dealing with what that might entail, ie. "eye-candy" get's hit upon... that's kind of... the whole point?
I think when a woman in Jenn Sterger's position complains about someone coming on to her, even in the way its been reported in this incident, it minimizes the more damaging and demeaning sexual harassment that occurs in workplaces where women are not there to be "eye-candy". Mind you, as Jason Whitlock points out, Sterger herself was supposedly not the one who brought the story out into the open. But others grabbed the story and as usual its being used in a way that does little to advance the cause of women or sports.
Diane, you may well have a point there too. (Didn't see your message, it came it whist I was writing mine)ReplyDelete
Me thinks it strange that men seem to worry more about about objectifying women than women do. When women complain about such things it's often once the objectification and (it's perks) have ended, and often in the company of a Gloria Alred-like influence.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/13/2010 4:16 PM
anytime a dollar sign prefaces this discussion, i wonder just who is screwing whom
i find it appropriate that women should participate WITHOUT unwanted advances or endure a negative workplace environment
however, just like the "community standard" level used in legal cases, it is one thing to be employed in a strip club and quite another being employed at IBM
it is difficult for any resonable person to conclude otherwise - no ?
famous people have an aura that when an ordinary person gets gravitationally pulled towards and into, well, whereby that whole situation has no reasonable resulting outcome - anything can happen
and where anything can happen, well, anything goes
anyway have a good show
Frank you definitely have a point about the gravitational pull of the famous. It makes those who aren't famous (and particularly those who aspire to be famous) say and do things they wouldn't dream of under normal circumstances.ReplyDelete
It seems to do weird things to the brains of the famous too. Otherwise how do you explain the stupidity of what Favre, Tiger, Montgomerie and the rest have done. ;)
After reading the stories I'm really curious as to how those photos a came to be published. I'm also curious to see the photos to but have thus far resisted the temptation to look click over an look at them. I haven't hear anything in the way of discriptives either, except grainy, which doesn't sound too appealing. :\ReplyDelete
Maybe not the best way to put it, but there are several layers of dirty laundry attached to this Favre story. I too would like to know how all this came to light. It also came to light as he was about to play the Jets.ReplyDelete
But it really needs to be examined in terms of Favre's actions. He's a grandpa now. His wife wrote in her autobiography about his affairs. She stood by him. Not sure what her feeling will be after this incident.
Unlike with some of Tiger's women, it seems Favre did the pursuing. He did it in a way any single guy might do. But he spiraled into the "sleaze-o-sphere" when he started sending pics of his "body parts."
I'm not saying there is not plenty of that behavior in this age of "cyber courting/ hooking up." It tells me that Favre is into it and also that he really does not know how to read a woman. He better know she is into that before.....er........exposing himself in that way.
I had the same thought Ducks. I was thinking wait a minute, does man actually think a woman would be flattered to receive that kind of text? Does he think women respond to ... visual stimuli... in the same way men do? I asked those exact questions in a forum and got some interesting replies. Lots of men felt that women would like to receive sexts like that, especially from celebrities. One guy said it was a normal part of phone sex. Who knew?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/13/2010 7:43 PM
i can't say i give a crap about what any of them do off the field. i was a tomboy, i played sports, and i love to watch football, baseball, hoops, golf etc. i think a lot of women who are into sports are more LIKE me than not. frankly boys will be boys and dipshit floozies will be dipshit floozies. and frankly, i don't care.

only they can "explain" it
i remember in TONT's case, he said he "felt ENTITLED" to having women at his access, something that just naturally came along with fame and fortune

Let's get real folks! Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue with women appearing more and more naked each year; NFL's scantily clad Cheerleaders; Sexy women reporters on the sidelines(they don't hire homely ones); and the attractive women golfers and tennis players getting all the publicity in their respective sports. I could go on and on with a variety of examples. The bottom line is sex sells, especially in the media. As long as the media is permitted to objectify women, we will have generations of athletes who objectify women. We will have generations of men in all walks of life who see women in the same light. Nothing is going to change, thanks to the media, unless there is no longer a " page 6" beauty in the News or salacious covers on magazines on the newstands. We are looking at a societal problem, not solely a sports problem.ReplyDelete

the media doesn't OBJECTIFY women - women do that themselves
guys ALWAYS get into trouble in ONE of TWO ways - 1) they notice these women OR 2) they don't notice these women
i myself have typically gotten into more trouble NOT noticing, for example, a new hair cut or a new color or both
so to be safe, i try to exploit women in a sexual manner, to err on the side of caution, just to make sure they notice that i noticed
get it ?
then go explain it to your friends and have them pass it on to their friends - okay ?
ftliquordale soFLA
Sex sells for sure. Whether women look at guys or guys look at women. I mean they have the body issue of ESPN mag on the stands now!! I'm not sure a pic in a text message of a guy's penis (without the guy attached to it being in the pic) shows any kind of style, etc. Check a medical encyc. and you will find plenty of pics.ReplyDelete

well the pics only prove FARVE can never be on the LPGA because they have ruled you must be BORN FEMALE
remember renee richards in tennis ?

By far John Galliano is one of my most favorite fashion designers. Designing for Christian Dior, his Haute Couture magnifies technique, theme and color in the most glamorous, enormous way. My eyes sparkled with envy when I first saw his Winter 2004 fashion show. The embroidery and pleats were endless. Dreams of royalty and splendor had me whisked away to another century...
Another show of Galliano's that is dear to my heart, is his Spring 2007 show where Japanese inspiration was imminent complete with BIG origami details, Asian hats and painted Geisha faces, all within a classic Dior silhouette.

Around the island and back in one day
The weekend prior it was decreed that I and the remaining oldies (Lacey, Judith and Justin) would venture to the Ephelia resort and rent what is the current equivalent to horse and wagon (a car, if the time on your given longitude has not reached an acceptable hour for you to be applying your brain to mild conundrums. If it has, you may need to consider something; I don't know what but just give something a try.) As such, on said day of adventure we trekked our way to the car rental and were told we would be given the keys to our freedom within only a few short hours, and so we sat by the pool and waited in what some would consider a very delightful area. As the time arrived we traversed the resort to be handed what we had been dreaming of, a car. Not exciting, I know, but a month of a pain of a walk to and from base and you really want that car. Sadly this was not to be and instead we were told that no booking had been made. After discussions with a lovely woman from dinner reservations she then spent the next half hour trying to track us down a car. Thankfully she did, but it transpired we now needed to get the bus to go into Victoria to collect the car, essentially defeating the point. After a less than stimulating bus ride, we then waited at the bus station to wait for our car which we were told would be arriving at four. Unfortunately, we are on the ever so wonderful island time and as a result did not receive our car until five. This all being said the second we were able to sit inside an air conditioned car and realise we were no longer required to walk anywhere, it immediately became an idyllic moment of joy.
After an exceptional night at Tequila Boom, we were finally ready to begin our around the island epic. Of course it began with a trip to the post office, but when you go the scenic route from Beau Vallon and not be required to use buses it is still an exceptional part of the day. After collecting packages of unknown items we just went for a drive. Why? Because we could, and it was just divine to be moving over so much of the island and not sweating. As I drove (being the only Brit I was the only one who could confidentially drive on the left which is the right side, saying the right is the right side is just too much of a cliché, you need some pizzazz when trying to win your cultural differences) and the others toured the island we were maybe half an hour into the drive and found a lovely quiet beach. And what do you do when you have a car and want to stop at the beach? You stop the car and go to the beach. It was amazing. Having a walk on the very serene beach and then having a little snooze was just another monumental period of time in the day in which there were many. Deciding we had spent enough time on the beach and all being particularly hungry we then went for a drive further along the coast of Mahe to find food and oh how we did. We found this very quaint roadside restaurant around half an hour later and my my was it sassy. Not only was the restaurant claiming to have better chicken nuggets than McDonalds, but the looks that the waitress could give were many and impressive. When someone can convey as much sass as this woman through a look you know it is someone not to be crossed. Once the food was ordered and delivered to our table in spectacular fashion it was time to really test whether the chicken nuggets could hold their own against the titan, and they most definitely could. Although calling them chicken nuggets may have been an understatement as they were much more comparable to gourmet chicken chunks in batter.
Once lunch had been devoured we then went on to complete the tour of the island. This lasted the grand total of another twenty minutes. As we ended it was decided we would return to base before our tea plantation hike later in the evening for sunset. As much as this sounds as a waste use of the car, I can assure you it was not. Driving right up until our dorms was an exceptional experience and one I will assume will be treasured for years to come. When we had woken it was time to complete this most joyous day with our hike. All previous volunteers had assured us that this hike although steep at the beginning will level off. I'm just putting it simply and stating that it most certainly does not. It is a very steep trek for a good forty minutes. Good cardiac health is most certainly required. I'm not saying that you could not give it a try, but I am saying you will die. This being said once the summit had been reached the view was immaculate. Even with the clouds obstructing parts of the view, seeing only framed images at a time, it was certainly a sight to behold. After a good fifteen minutes being spent in awe atop the mountain and oxygen was once again flowing through our bodies the trek down was embarked upon. This was not easy when the sun was going down (the inherent problem of a sunset hike) and, a multitude of trees were covered in spikes making them the devil spawn as this was not easily seen as one ponders down and feels the urge to grab a tree for stability you are instead welcomed with a hand of spikes. This was something I definitely did not appreciate. Although my situation was not helped in that I forgot both my head torch, which was sitting in the car being useless, and forgetting to take my glasses. As a result I was basically blind on my way down. I would say this is something I hope I would not do again but unfortunately I know myself too well to say that this type of situation will not be the last I find myself in. Now this brings the day to a close and I can say with certainty that this was an excellent day and one I hope to never forget. Although it is me so I might be able to remember for the next month if I'm lucky. I lack what some may refer to as a good memory.
P.s As a side note I would like to inform all that according to Justin, booties are now to be considered an all terrain footwear as not only were they worn on a night out to Tequila Boom but also on the hike. Just a thought to consider when next purchasing shoes.

Costco Grocery Cart
This week, I didn't buy a lot of items at Costco. I got a few essentials and continued with Christmas stock up.
I mentioned last week that I start to buy Christmas gifts with each shopping trip to spread out the cost and keep Christmas shopping stress free. I do the same with food ingredients that I may need for Christmas.
When I can find a good sale, I am better off to get it now, than pay more later and waste time trying to find an item that may not be available.
This week the Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Juice is on sale for $8.79 (save $2) for 4 bottles. This is a staple at our Christmas dinner and a nice treat for kids and non-drinkers. This works out to $2.19 a bottle. You would currently pay $5.49 at London Drugs for each bottle.
We go through a lot of blueberries in this house, so I bought the 2kg bag of Kirkland Blueberries for $8.99. This is a little on the high side at $2 a pound, but our produce co-op hasn't had blueberries for a while. I prefer to buy fresh & freeze them myself.
I picked up a pack of our favourite bacon, already cooked. Love this for fast breakfast sandwiches, pasta dishes and BLT's, although this did go up $1, it's still half the price of Maple Leaf in grocery stores.
The large bag of Munchies mix is on sale for $4.99. (save $2). This is a great deal for a big bag, and I like that everyone can find something in this mix that they like. I try to be prepared for weekend snacks, rather then paying extra at a grocery store.
The Spring Mix salad greens are also a great deal at $3.79, I mix this with green leaf lettuce and can get several dinner salads this way. Keep in mind that one bag of ready made salad at the grocery store can be $3-4, and they are about 1/2 the size of this Costco container.
I did buy the Sabra individual hummus again, even though it wasn't on sale. I really love having fast, healthy snacks for my kids to grab. Hummus and veggies are a filling snack, and when I pack crackers in their lunch, they can sub that for a sandwich. This is also a mild tasting hummus, which my youngest daughter really likes.
I looked at the large containers of hummus and did some price comparing. Maybe it would be cheaper to buy a couple big containers and put it into smaller individual ones at home?
I did the math. I could make my own for .34 cents each using the big containers at $6.99 for two. The small containers I bought, work out to .37 cents each. Not a big enough difference to divide them up myself.
Items I didn't buy:
The Cascade Dish tabs are on sale for $15.99 (save $4), so that's $.14 cents each. I think the Finish Tabs are a better deal and they are still on sale this week at $15.79 (save $8) for 147. The Finish tabs are $.11 cents each.
I am fully stocked on dish tabs from a great Target clearance sale so I didn't get any, but $.10 cents a load is my stock up price for dishwasher detergent.
The Shake 'n Bake pack of 10 is on sale for $6.89. Not a bad price at $.69 cents a serving and great for a quick, cheap meal paired with drumsticks. When we do a coating on our chicken, my family is loving the Hellman's Chicken. I do use the Panko breadcrumbs from Costco though and that makes an excellent, juicy chicken.
Beemaid Creamed Honey is on sale for $12.49 (save $3.50). Honey can be very expensive, especially if you use it in baked goods, instead of sugar. I think this is a good price. We are currently using a big container from a local honey farm, so I didn't buy any.
All current Costco sales are valid until November 23, 2014.

The Huskers are coming off a 43-36 victory over Arkansas State in the season opener in Lincoln.

Nebraska plays host to a strong seven-game home schedule, as part of an attractive schedule that includes nine Big Ten games. Nebraska posted a perfect 7-0 home record in 2016, just the second undefeated record in Lincoln since 2001.
The home schedule will be highlighted by matchups against 2016 College Football Playoff participant Ohio State, Big Ten West Division champion Wisconsin and Iowa. Northwestern and Rutgers will also visit during Big Ten play. Nebraska will host Northern Illinois in non-conference play on Sept. 16.
The Huskers make Big Ten road trips to Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota and 2016 Big Ten champion Penn State. Nebraska's 2017 schedule features games against seven teams that played in a bowl game last year.

• Riley owns 16 victories over nationally ranked opponents during his college head coaching tenure.
First-Time Starters Make Debut Against Arkansas State
While veterans hold many key positions in the Husker lineup, Nebraska is also looking to several new faces to play key roles in 2017. In the season opener against Arkansas State, six Huskers made their first carer starts at Nebraska. Five of those players were making their first college starts in addition to Lee making his first start in Lincoln.
First-Time starters in season opener
• Tre Bryant, IB
• Tyler Hoppes, TE
• Connor Ketter, TE
• Luke Gifford, LB
• Eric Lee Jr., CB
Bryant Carries Heavy Load in Nebraska Run Game
Sophomore I-back Tre Bryant earned the starting job with a strong preseason practice effort. The 5-11, 200-pound Bryant then showed Husker fans why he sits atop the depth chart in the season opener.
Bryant carried 31 times for 192 yards and a touchdown in the season opener. It marked the most rushing yards for a Husker in 25 games, dating back to Terrell Newby's 198 yards against South Alabama in 2015.
• Bryant's 31 carries were the most by a Husker since Ameer Abdullah carried 35 times for 229 yards against Miami in September of 2014.
• Bryant's previous career highs were 13 carries for 56 yards against Maryland last season. Bryant reached those totals before halftime against Arkansas State with 13 carries for 78 yards before intermission.
• Bryant had the two longest carries of his career with runs of 24 and 35 yards. The 24-yarder set up a second-quarter touchdown, while his 35-yard rush came on the opening drive of the second half and led to another touchdown.
• Bryant was impressive on first down, averaging 6.6 yards per carry on first-down attempts.
• Only four FBS players through Saturday games posted more rushing yards than Bryant's 192-yard effort.
Lee Makes Solid NU Debut
Quarterback Tanner Lee was efficient and turnover-free in his Nebraska starting debut. The 6-4, 220-pound Lee became just the third opening-day starting quarterback for the Huskers since 2010, joining Taylor Martinez and Tommy Armstrong Jr.
Lee completed 19-of-32 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns against the Red Wolves. He also guided an NU offense that did not have a turnover for the fourth time in five games dating back to last season.
• The 238 passing yards by Lee were the third-most by an NU quarterback in their starting debut. The yardage total trailed only Ryker Fyfe (407 yards at Purdue, 2015) and Joe Ganz (405 yards at Kansas, 2007). Lee's 238 yards were the most passing yards by a first-time starter in a Husker win.
• Lee has made 20 collegiate starts, including 19 as the starting quarterback at Tulane in 2014 and 2015.
Veteran Receicing Duo Leading Passing Attack
Junior Dedrick Young II looks to lead Nebraska's linebackers this fall as the Huskers transition from a 4-3 defensive scheme to a 3-4 attack. Young played on the outside the past two seasons, but has moved to an inside linebacker spot, where he and senior Chris Weber give NU a veteran inside linebacker tandem.
Young has totaled 121 tackles in his first two seasons. He ranks second among all 2017 Huskers in career tackles despite his junior status. He is only the third Husker to record 100 tackles prior to his junior season.
Veteran Receiving Duo to Lead Passing Attack
Lee has the luxury of two veteran and proven pass catchers to lead the receiving corps. Senior De'Mornay Pierson-El and junior Stanley Morgan Jr. both have extensive playing experience and are poised for strong 2017 seasons.
The duo leads a receiving corps that also features a pair of explosive newcomers in redshirt freshman JD Spielman and true freshman Tyjon Lindsey.
• Morgan was Nebraska's second-leading receiver last season with 33 catches for 453 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He opened the season in strong fashion on Saturday night with five receptions for 102 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown reception.
• Morgan's five catches tied his career high while his 102 receiving yards marked the first time he has topped the century mark as a Husker. His 44-yard catch was the second longest catch in his three seasons as a Husker.
• Morgan is nearing the Huskers' 1,000-yard receiving club. He has 63 career receptions for 859 yards, leaving him 141 yards from becoming the 25th Husker with 1,000 receiving yards.
• Pierson-El earned All-America honors as a punt returner in 2014 and has shown flashes of his potential as a receiver. He opened the 2017 season with two catches for 20 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown.
• Pierson-El is a versatile performer who is an electrying punt returner and is used in the NU run game. Against Arkansas State, he rushed two times for 23 yards and narrowly missed a 71-yard touchdown run as he just stepped out of bounds.
• Pierson-El has 57 career catches for 706 yards and seven touchdowns.
Five Players Elected as 2017 Team Captains
The Nebraska football program named five team captains on Saturday, Aug. 26, as selected by a vote of their teammates.
The group consists of three seniors and two juniors, and three players on offense and two defensive standouts. The 2017 captains also include three Nebraska natives and two players who began their Husker career as walk-on student-athletes before earning scholarships.
2017 Nebraska team captains
• Jerald Foster, Jr., OG, Lincoln, Neb.
• Joshua Kalu, Sr., S, Houston, Texas
• Tanner Lee, Jr., QB, Destrehan, La.
• Luke McNitt, Sr., FB, Kearney, Neb.
• Chris Weber, Sr., LB, Elkhorn, Neb.
Captain Notes
• The three Nebraska natives (Foster, McNitt, Weber) to be named captains is the most in-state captains since Nebraska also had three in-state captains in 2001 (Eric Crouch, Jeremy Slechta, Dave Volk). The Huskers have had at least one Nebraska native as a captain for 12 consecutive seasons.
• Foster is the third captain from Lincoln in four seasons, joining Jake Cotton (2014) and Josh Banderas (2016).
• A Husker offensive lineman has served as a captain for five straight seasons. Foster joins Spencer Long (2013), Jake Cotton (2014), Alex Lewis (2015) and Dylan Utter (2016).
• Kalu is the fifth defensive back to be a captain since 2013, joining Ciante Evans (2013), Corey Cooper (2014), Josh Mitchell (2014) and Nathan Gerry (2015, 2016).
• McNitt and Weber are the fourth and fifth players since 2013 to earn the role of a captain after starting their career as a walk-on. They join Spencer Long (2013), Jack Gangwish (2015) and Dylan Utter (2016) in that group.
• McNitt is the first fullback to serve as a captain since Judd Davies in 2003.
• Lee's selection marks the fourth time in six seasons a quarterback has served as a Husker captain, joining Taylor Martinez (2012, 2013) and Tommy Armstrong Jr. (2015).
Nebraska Walk-On Tradition Continues
Mike Riley placed six former walk-ons on scholarship before the start of the season. Five of the six members of the group are fifth-year seniors and four are Nebraska natives.
Walk-ons awarded scholarships
• Brett Classen, WR (Medina, Minn.)
• Cole Conrad, OL (Fremont, Neb.)
• Tyler Hoppes, TE (Lincoln, Neb.)
• Connor Ketter, TE (Norfolk, Neb.)
• Luke McNitt, FB (Kearney, Neb.)
• Gabe Rahn, WR (Le Mars, Iowa)
Nebraska has a long tradition of relying on its walk-on program to help build the foundation of the program. Six walk-ons have gone on to earn first-team All-America honors for Nebraska, while 13 walk-ons have earned first-team academic All-America recognition.
2017 Huskers Feature Prominent Fathers
Husker fans could see some famous faces at Nebraska games this fall, as three freshmen feature prominent fathers.
• Redshirt freshman JD Spielman is the adopted son of Minnesota Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman, and JD's uncle is former Ohio State All-America linebacker and NFL standout Chris Spielman, who now serves as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports.
• Freshman fullback Ben Miles is the son of former national championship head coach Les Miles. Les compiled a 141-55 record in 15 seasons as a head coach at Oklahoma State and LSU. He led the Tigers to the 2007 national title and an appearance in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.
• Freshman wide receiver Kade Warner is the son of former two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner. In addition to a distinguished Arena Football League career, Kurt enjoyed a 12-year NFL career with the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. He threw for more than 32,000 yards in his career and ranks seventh in NFL history with an average of 260.8 passing yards per game. Kurt was also a four-time Pro Bowler, a two-time NFL MVP (1999 & 2001) and the Super Bowl XXXIV MVP. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

Ce Project: Hospital Building
the sake of clarity, he has provided a compare and contrast study between thematerials managed in a hospital, and the ones in an engineering manufacturingorganisation. Once the classificatory system is in operation, and the policies arestated, a computer programme will help automation by working out the inventory levels, order quantity and order date. This is followed by two chapters which are case studies related to the samesubject by Dr A.V. Srinivasan, 'Hospital Stores Organisation and Pharmacy' and'Selective Systems of Materials Management in a Hospital—Case Illustration'.Making use of live data, he illustrates how pharmacy and hospital material storesare organised by structure and policy. All systems discussed by Mr V. Venkat Reddy are illustrated by item name and calculation in the second case study.Mr K.P. Kumar has an interesting and novel approach to derive inventory policiesfor drugs in a hospital pharmacy. He extends the classificatory systems presentedearlier, uses combinatorial analysis to reduce the classes, and put them intodecision boxes, where the policy and the person in the hierarchy who is responsiblefor its implementation are clearly stated. The chapter titled 'MBASIC System for Effective Drug Management' by Kumar is a good example of decision-support system for drug inventory management. The availability of inventory management software, computer professionals and suitable hardware signal the application of this effective technique.Customer Relations Management is now a hot topic in marketing and IT. MsPooja Elizabeth George has discussed it in easy language and applied to hospitalmanagement in the chapter, 'Customer Experience Management—A MarketingInitiative'. She has gone a step farther from image with and retention of customersof CRM to learning and adoption of their experience. Hospitals in private sector increasingly face competition and the customers (patients and referees) are gettingmore information from internet and are demanding. She has shown how to survivein such an environment by building competitive strength. She has supported therationality with observation and a structure. This and the next chapter are valuableadditions of latest knowledge to this edition. A medical record is a compilation of pertinent facts about a patient's life andhealth history, including past and present illnesses and treatment given by healthprofessionals contributing to the patient's care. It is the personal property of thepatient and ensures continuity of treatment. The chapter, 'Medical Records', by Ms Mamta Edwards, covers the purpose, uses and value of medical records. Theauthor indicates who is responsible for the construction, maintenance,administration of medical records and related legal issues. The formats in whichthe records are to be maintained, the types of data, and the retention principle
are also covered. This chapter concludes with future developments andcomputerisation of records.Operations Research is a multidisciplinary approach for problem-solving andimproving efficiency. It uses some of the proven mathematical models to a situation, whether it is simple or complex. This has been used very widely in industries andin Johns Hopkins Hospital, as early as the fifties. Its application has becomeeasier now with the availability of powerful PCs and relevant software. Its utility is so high that it is a core subject in every management curriculum. Dr K.N.Gaur, in the chapter, 'Operations Research in Hospitals', traces the history of this approach to provide rationality, makes a listing of the major techniquesincluded under this head, and describes how to build a model. In the second part of his paper, he shows how to apply selected Operations Research techniques tohospital situations. These are Allocation Methods, Queueing Models, Replacement Models and Network Techniques.Dr Jeet Patwari has applied the concepts of expert...

In Russia recall more than 20 thousand Toyota cars · 2018-08-09 11:59
In Russia came under review 20 702 vehicles Toyota (Alphard, Corolla, Auris, Yaris). The recall campaign is carried out by LLC "Toyota Motor".
Subject to recall cars sold from March 12, 2010 to may 19, 2015 Gda. The reason for the recall is the existing probability of incorrect operation of the front passenger airbag (Takata) in the event of an accident. The operation of a passenger airbag in an accident with a degraded substance can lead to the destruction of the gas generator housing and, in the worst case, the penetration of fragments of the gas generator through the airbag into the car interior, Rosstandart reports.
Authorized representatives of the manufacturer of Toyota Motor LLC will inform the owners of Lexus Toyota (Alphard, Corolla, Auris, Yaris) cars, which are subject to review, by sending letters and/or by phone about the need to provide the vehicle to the nearest dealership for repair work.

6th Grade Camp needs you! Let's do this!
Update 9/22/14: Due to the King Fire's extremely close proximity to Sly Park and its limited containment, the 6th grade camping trip has been postponed until December. This delay gives families a little more time to make deposits into their student's account.
The 6th-grade Sly Park camping trip will take place in September this year. This camping trip is traditionally in February, so there is much more time for the students to raise money for their camp accounts. This year, we do not have that extra time.
At $265/student and approximately 80 6th graders attending, students need to raise around $22,000! Yes, $22,000 for just this one trip!
See the graphic to the right to see where we are and where we need to be. >>>

It is 10 p.m., and I scoot myself up to Nicole's dining table, in a room full of her girlfriends. It's an hour-long train ride from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side, but tonight—Nicole's birthday—was the perfect occasion to make the trip. We all raise our glasses and take turns making toasts to the birthday girl. My turn comes, and while the cubes of oranges and apples bump around in my tiny glass of sangria, I find the words for my dear friend. I talk about how this new trip around the sun will be an expanse of beautiful unknowns for her as a woman.
We each have a daughter and a son. Nicole's son, Lucas, and my daughter, River, are our oldest and born just a year apart. Our second children, Oak and Lillie, are also close in age, and we've shared—and commiserated—at each stage. It's been wonderful to have a friend who is a mother in the same phases of motherhood, and our sons are much a part of that story. Still, in light of the current political and social climate, Nicole and I have found much common ground around what it means to raise our daughters, despite their age difference.
More than that, we have so much to say about what it means to be a woman. It is on the tips of all mothers' tongues, weaved into quick texts sent on the playground, mentioned in passing at morning drop-off, mulled over a bit longer waiting for school pickup, and even muttered in passing conversations on the sidewalks of our neighborhoods. It is a prominent and necessary, all-consuming topic that we, as women, are bound to discuss, hoping to find the solution for ourselves and, especially, for our daughters.
The party cools off; I collapse into Nicole's couch, which I claim for myself for the night. I'm too stirred up from the week, but Nicole's couch is a safe place to let my body fold into another woman's. We free our words, letting them float off into oblivion, knowing that the feeling of it, the questioning, the worry, will still lie deep within us. We'll look for those fleeting moments in our days for a little release, tiny mentions of the thing ended abruptly by some distraction. This is what it means to be a woman with something on her mind. This is what it means to be a grown-up girl, raising a growing-up girl.
This weekend, I felt the Supreme Court news in my body. I felt it presently, not as some pressing future fear. I felt it when I looked at my daughter, and in the knowing that how I raise her is no longer an "if" issue, but a "now" one. I need a clear plan. This week I've tracked my conversations with her, like notes on a flip pad that you jot down on the go. Now more than ever, our conversations will be about hard work and hard realities, about sitting with my 8-year-old self and healing her. My knowledge must be River's knowledge.
In celebration of International Day of the Girl, here are a few things that I find important as a mother today:
1. My daughter is not a pawn in my own healing. She is not healing me, nor is she a substitute for something I'm missing. She is a person. As I am raising a one-day woman, with her own set of realities, gifts, and joys.
2. Everything she feels is valid, even at 8 years old, even when I do not agree or I find it odd. If she feels something, then it is real.3. I am not a good enough example to be the only example. If I want my daughter to have robust ideology, she must be exposed to that. I watched my own mother do so very much, but in this climate, I cannot and should not expect to do it all. My daughter should hear my conversations about community, she should see me ask for help, and she can watch me focus on the work that I value, the things I do accomplish on my own.
4. I need to keep expressing that a body is a great place to be and love. Yes, I do this in my words and actions toward my body, but I need to give her autonomy over her own body as well. She has ownership over the way our bodies engage, whether holding hands, hugging, playing with her brother or friends. Personal body ownership begins at home.
5. I need to be a listening ear, in everything. I listen to the big issues like I listen to questions about fashion and makeup and food. The ear doesn't stop because the topic shifts or when she grows quiet. I listen to everything, always.
Nicole and I don't talk about everything on her birthday night. We were both raised by single women and are now raising daughters, and I know I need her voice as I navigate how to go about parenting a young girl. Here is some of our conversation, so that we can all be strengthened by sharing what we know, by freeing our feelings and words.
What has being Lillie's mom taught you, compared to being Lucas's mom?
I have just recently started to have to navigate my own ideas of beauty and self-love in front of Lillie. She is so aware of what I am doing when I get dressed, put on makeup, put on lotions, and she wants to copy everything I do. It's a new page for me in parenting for sure because it's just something Lucas was never interested in. So, we put on our lotion together, pick out clothes, and adorn ourselves with jewelry—which is something I always dreamed of because I used to do the same with my mother. I understand completely that these small moments can have a huge impact on our daughters so I use it as a time to affirm Lillie and have conversations with her. Usually one activity leads seamlessly into another. For example, she wants to put on a ballerina costume and get dressed up. So, we will blast some salsa and have a dance party in the living room. I think my biggest challenge is just transforming all these scenarios into something positive.
You were raised by a single mother in the Bronx. In hindsight, how has that influenced the way you parent Lillie?
I was raised in the Bronx and went to school in Spanish Harlem and the Upper West Side. My mom was a single mom who, in my eyes, was and still is a super woman. In my home, women were capable of anything and everything, from tailoring a pair of pants to installing a ceiling fan to grouting the bathroom tile. In hindsight, I get it. You do what you have to do, and if you don't know how, then you learn. My mother's tenacity and strength are what influenced me the most and what I hope I am passing down to Lillie. Women are magic, and anything you set your mind to is yours for the taking, and as hard as it is to feel and believe this right now, it is the truth I wish to narrate for my daughter, just as my own mother did for me.
What are some wishes you have for Lillie? More importantly, what are some for yourself this year as she is in day care a few times a week and you have more time?
Deciding to put Lillie in day care was a huge decision for me. She has been home with me for three years, and when she's not with me, I feel like a piece of my heart is missing. My mother is a retired educator, and she was my biggest cheerleader and helped me decide school was the right next step for Lillie. It has proven to be the best decision—not just for her, but for me. She is in an environment where she can thrive and learn with other children, and in those hours, I am able to push myself with work. I can feel the creative juices, which had dried up, slowly coming back—which is such a wonderful feeling, let me tell you! When I pick the kids up, I feel like I am just so much more present with them. There are fewer distractions. I'm not trying to answer emails or complete deadlines because I get so much done before school lets out.
We are living in a trying political climate. What have you learned? What do you hope to implement into your everyday to not only raise a daughter who resists, but one that is part of a needed revolution?
In our house, we are very open with our children. Although Lillie is too young to understand exactly what is happening in our world, I know that she is watching and listening to me. My hopes are that these moments are starting to form a weave of truths for her, and as she grows I will continue to involve her in activism to the best of my ability. If there's something I don't know or am unsure of, we will learn together. My mother always used to say, "You do for people when they are here. Not when they are gone." I have always come back to this, and I find it to be so incredibly fitting for our current political climate. Make changes in your everyday life. Make phone calls. Donate your time and money, if you are able to do so. Challenge what you believe in your heart to be wrong. My belief is that Lillie will help to create change after watching her family never stop trying for her and future generations.
As I speak with Nicole, I find myself at peace. I mess up. I am no expert. I am entirely flawed. I am often overwhelmed, with too much on my plate and too little help. I'm a healing 29-year-old raising two kids in Brooklyn, New York. I juggle what I can, because I am strong, but I don't do it all. I've learned Nicole's strength. I know the ways in which both of our hips have made room for kids, arms tired, heads up. I know the energy we both put into navigated the intimate, complicated realities of being a woman today. And I know that, right now, we understand the importance of consciously raising our daughters. This isn't a message teaching our daughters to do it all—we don't want that, and we know it's not possible. This message tells them: Be brave, strong, valid, unique, and beautiful in your own ways. We say: You are human beings, not to be hidden behind a historically patriarchal system that devalues that truth. My hope is that my daughter and my friends' daughters will grow as part of a revolution with roots sown by many loud and flawed women, right now.

Deputy Prime Minister Professor Mutambara said this image has to be done away with since it has only served to drive away international investors. He said: "We want to rebrand Zimbabwe, but what are we known for. How are we perceived by the rest of the world?"
Mutambara said Zimbabwe is "known for violence, farm invasions, disregard for the rule of law, electoral fraud, cholera, corruption and mafia style abductions and kidnappings of journalist, human rights activists and anyone seeking democratic space."
Mutambara said this initiative would be for 20 years. Sources within his office said Mutambara would table his plan to Cabinet soon. "We expect to run the programme from May right through the lifespan of the inclusive government," said the source.
Though finer details are still being worked out, it would be different from that run by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. ZTA has spent thousands of dollars flying in international artists such as Joe Thomas under the Perception Image Campaign that sought to lure back tourist.
Already the inclusive government has set up team to engage the United States and European Union countries to lift sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. The team includes Tendai Biti, Welshman Ncube, Priscilla Misihairabwi Mushonga and Simbarashe Mumbengengwi.

I recently joined a start-up in Dubai. They have processed my work permit, but have not applied to convert it into a residence visa (no medical). However, things have not gone as expected and we have mutually agreed to part ways. I am serving my 14 days notice period and we will cancel the visa after that. I want to start applying for jobs.
Here is where I am confused - If and when I get a new job, will my employer find out that I was holding a work permit (entry). The idea is to exit the country after my work visa is cancelled and come back on a tourist/visit visa. I do not want to show that I worked for a month here.
Appreciate any replies on this.

Maria's Metro
Money to build pricey pedestrian bridge over Northside Drive should be spent at street-level
By Maria Saporta
Memo to Atlanta's next mayor:
Please put a stop to the building of an unnecessary $24 million loopy-loop pedestrian bridge across Northside Drive.
Now let me explain my rationale.
The expensive pedestrian bridge would connect the Vine City MARTA Station with the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The total length of the bridge would be about two blocks to just get pedestrians to cross over a 70-foot crosswalk.
As a safety concern, it is possible the bridge would only be open on game days and for special events at the Stadium, which makes it even a more questionable expenditure.
Even during special events, pedestrians likely would prefer to just cross the street rather than take the circuitous route of the pedestrian bridge.
"Transportation engineers have long known that pedestrian bridges are rarely an effective safety solution," wrote Sally Flocks, founder of PEDS, in a comment posted in response to Mike Dobbins' guest column in last week's SaportaReport.
"Pedestrian bridges are useful for crossing highways, rivers and railroad tracks," Flocks continued. "But few, if any, people will walk 700 feet to cross a surface street. For the same cost, the City of Atlanta could install over 200 traffic signals. Or even better, address nearly 10 percent of the city's enormous backlog of broken sidewalks."
More importantly, an investment of $24 million at street level to improve pedestrian crossings would significantly improve the Northside Drive corridor all day, every day.
Central Atlanta Progress, working with the Kimley-Horn transportation design firm, came up with a plan more than a year ago to improve the walkability along on Northside Drive.
The urban design plan would include a landscaped median, wider sidewalks and more defined pedestrian crosswalks at key intersections along the street.
The Georgia Department of Transportation already has been working on plans to make Northside Drive, a state-owned road, into a "complete street." That means making the corridor friendly for pedestrians, cyclists, transit and other modes of transportation.
The beauty of this approach? Enhancing Northside Drive into a people-friendly corridor would create a strong link between the struggling Westside and the city's downtown convention and entertainment district – a real community bridge that would be in place 365 days a year.
Better yet, the intersection of the legacy Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Northside Drive can become the gateway between downtown and the Westside, an area destined to be rejuvenated.
Unfortunately, the plan has yet to be funded or implemented. And the notion of spending $24 million on a pedestrian bridge that will be seldom used is an unwise use of precious city resources.
According to Flocks, part of the funding for the $24 million bridge would be paid for by funds diverted from Renew Atlanta – which was established to address the city's backlog of infrastructure maintenance.
"The bridge was not on the Renew Atlanta project list; nor was it publicly vetted," Flocks wrote.
Hopefully – on the eve of the city elections, we are about to enter a new day of leadership at City Hall – regardless of who is elected.
We now can embark on a more collaborative, inclusive, rational and efficient way in how we decide to invest in our Atlanta's future.
A good place to start would be to stop the pricey, loopy-loop pedestrian bridge over Northside Drive. Then we can reallocate those funds to make Northside Drive a corridor that really connects the people in our city.
Steve Hagen says:
24 Million is a lofty dream. I vote for an earthy solution.
Sally Flocks says:
Absolutely. And also put a stop to the proposed pedestrian bridge between the Municipal Court Building and its parking lot. At a recent information session for potential contractors, a Renew Atlanta program manager estimated the cost of this bridge at $1.8 to $2 million – all of which would come from Renew Atlanta Bonds. Once again, the bridge was not on the Renew Atlanta project list and it was not publicly vetted. It's also contrary to Atlanta's comprehensive transportation plan and the Downtown Master Plan. Also appalling: Mayor Reed and others are holding a groundbreaking event for the proposed bridge on December 13 – despite the fact that Atlanta hasn't selected a contractor. As a taxpayer in Atlanta, I have 3 questions for Mayor Reed: How do you justify diverting bonds intended for infrastructure maintenance to new projects? Why the behind closed doors decisions? And what's the rush?
Jeff says:
Must be some "Atlanta-based" bridge building consultant who needs a job before the next Mayor comes in…I guess.
Steve says:
Thanks Maria😎.
Everyone email the new Mayor this article tomorrow!
C. Hakim says:
I agree that the funds can and should be better used on the ground to serve the needs of stadium event attendees as needed and local residents all the time.
Me says:
Maria, please run for Mayor!!
Larry Keating says:
Absolutely agree. Part of the land along Northside Drive is owned by Arthur Blank who built a "preferred guest" parking lot there in contravention of a City/Neighborhood agreement that there would be no event parking west of Northside Drive when the (now demolished) Georgia Dome was built. Far too many tax receipts subsidized the construction of the new stadium which also occasioned the demolition of Spelman College's founding site.
Subsidizing a bridge to this parking adds insult to injury.
LAWRENCE J FOGEL says:
Say it ain't so!
Matthew Johnson says:
The point made at public meetings: CAN WE TRUST RENEW WITH THE BOND MONEY? Rushing to do projects that were NOT VETTED, INCLUDED OR PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED. ON, NO, NOT ANOTHER BETRAYAL!! STILL NOTHING IN VIEW FOR DEKALB AVENUE CONSTIPATION.
LAWRENCE J FOGEL says:
Stop making sense! Good editorial!
Chris Koch says:
Is it even legal to use bond funds for projects that were not on the approved list?
John Fetner says:
Ive attended several events at the old stadium. Northside Drive is intimidating to cross for pedestrians.
Bet there's a lower cost solution than this $24 million dollar bridge. Too much money for this project. Just take a look at all of the nice little pedestrian bridges on the Silver Comet Trail. Bet they were chump change compared to this proposal.
Sally Flocks says:
Installing a traffic signal or the type of beacons used on Ponce de Leon – which are called Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons – would cost about $100,000. For the cost of the proposed bridge, Atlanta could install 240 of these. Research shows that few people will walk more than 300 feet out of their way to use a crosswalk, so people who live near Northside drive need safe crossing treatments at far more than 1 location.
Alma says:
Give more input on this Thanks God Bless
Anderson says:
Would not a traffic stop light with an enlarged crosswalk with extended train crossing type arms which lift be just as effective and less expensive as a bridge?
Sally Flocks says:
A traffic signal would be far more effective. Few, if any pedestrians will be willing to walk 700' to cross a 70' wide road. People will cross at ground level, but the bridge may give people who are driving the sense that no one will be walking there.
Dan White says:
the state can't help fund rural libraries for but can squander millions on urban amenities. no wonder rural Georgians voted for Trump.
Obvious says:
You do understand that Mr. Trump is a member of the same political party as the state leaders who fail to fund libraries?
atlman says:
No, he doesn't. And that is what is truly sad.
brainstar8 says:
I'm all for libraries being well-funded, although they may be as used only as frequently as MARTA. Still, I don't understand your references re: funding. I'm reasonably sure my county taxes pay for the libraries located in the county of my residence.
Sally Flocks says:
The bridge will be paid for by City of Atlanta bonds, not state funds.
atlman says:
Shhh. Facts hurt people …
brainstar8 says:
For those of us who are long-time residents of the City of Atlanta and have paid our share of taxes for services we never receive, that's not the point. My family is all for community and how our dollars support those who are in need. But this bridge is not a need – it's an ego thing for Babyman Reid and his pompous crew.
atlman says:
Are you even aware that the state redistributes tons of tax revenue from the urban areas to rural Georgia already? If the state allowed Atlanta and DeKalb to keep all its tax revenue, those urban areas would have more than enough for dozens of projects like this and to spare. The rural areas on the other hand …
Also since you spoke favorably of Trump, I take it that you are a free market capitalist. Well that is why these "amenities" are necessary. Educated, skilled, talented, motivated people who earn high salaries and/are or entrepreneurs can live anywhere. They tend to congregate to places that offer them the best "living experience", meaning said amenities. It is an arms race to attract the best and brightest with things like great public school systems, outstanding museums, good transit, great parks, strong university systems, nightlife/recreation etc. It isn't so much to induce people to move from the rural area to the big city – which happens anyway – but to get people to choose one big city over another. If Atlanta has no "amenities" as you call it, then all that tech talent that is drawing employers from all over to this city would move to Houston, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, San Diego, Boston or even Charlotte and Chattanooga. This is something that everyone but conservatives seem to realize, but that crowd convinces itself that the way to draw jobs and workers is to cut taxes left and right. Well Mississippi and Alabama have among the lowest tax rates in the country, yet you don't see many Fortune 500 companies or investment bankers moving there do you?
brainstar8 says:
If you live in the City of Atlanta, I will take your point. If you do not, stop pontificating.Please.
jim martin says:
At the Atlanta on the Move forum, Keisha said that she would not spend $20M on pedestrian infrastructure city-wide because the money was not available. Cancelling this foolishness ought to free it up pretty easily…
brainstar8 says:
Let's see if Keisha cancels it, as it sounds like her mentor, Babyman Reid, has his fingerprints on this plan.
City of Atlanta residents voted nearly two years ago for a referendum that was ostensibly to repair Atlanta's Third World-like streets and roads. There is little evidence of this, and I expect Keisha L-B to act just as Reid, such as diverting infrastructure funds serving thousands of Atlantans to a neighborhood swimming pool, to the tune of $17 million, serving a comparative handful of Atlantans. I don't expect to be disappointed in Ms. L-B, because my expectations that she will rise above her mentor's corruptness and cronyism are already rock-bottom.
David Nelson says:
Pedestrian bridges can be a good thing, but like all major projects, need to be put into perspective financially, and in terms of actual use. I've seen pedestrian bridges built with the best of intentions, but the folks that lived in a particular neighborhood preferred the direct route across an uncontrolled boulevard. The trick is to know when the bridge makes sense.

If you are looking for something to decorate the walls of your home you need to make sure that it not only looks good – it should perform a specific function as well. With most people living in smaller condominiums and apartments, they would actually need fewer pieces of furniture and accessories to create more space. This is exactly why you need items which look great as decors while performing other functions at the same time.
Finding a Great Iron Wall Decor
Now, if you are in the market for an iron wall decor, you can take your pick between getting a simple decoration or installing something which is truly useful such as an iron wall coat rack, iron candle holders and iron mirror frames. The good news is that there are a lot of choices for you. The best choice would serve the need you want to fulfill and it would have the look that you are trying to project in the room where it is attached.
All about Wrought Iron Wall Decors
There are many advantages in using wrought iron wall decors. First of all, iron is generally durable. As long as they are well-maintained, you will certainly be able to use the decor that you have longer. To make sure that the decor will not rust, what you can do is rust-proof it by applying rust-resistant paint or slushing oil. This is a great way to shield the iron and keep the moisture out.
Wrought iron is also unique in the sense that they are individually formed. In one way or another, wrought iron decors can be considered as works of art. This is because the details of some wall decors are so intricate that it would be difficult for another artist to replicate the design. Of course, with more designs coming out in the market today, you can really find more classic styles and more modern designs as well. So if your goal is to create a country appeal or a modern contemporary home, you can really find the most ideal wrought iron wall decor for your home.
In fact, you will have a blast decorating your home using wrought iron decors. Not only will you be fulfilling the needs of your family and your home, but you will also be coming up with a look that is mostly unique from every other home. This way, you can have a home that your entire family will feel comfortable in and it is something that you can show off to your guests at the same time.
