I downloaded the latest Firefox rc2 this morning. Being based in Ireland I downloaded the English (British) version for my Mac because there is an inbuilt spell checker and I didn't want all my spelling flagged as incorrect by a US spell checker!
Why is spell checking important in a browser? Well, I write all my blog posts and comments in the browser so having an inbuilt spell checker is, to my mind, invaluable.
However, when I fired it up, it froze on startup! I restarted it and it got going this time. However, it froze twice more, necessitating a force quit and a re-start of the browser. To add insult to injury, the spell checker isn't available in the English (British) version of Firefox!
Yes, I know I can teach it the spellings but I was hoping to avoid having to do this.
I had exactly the same issue with an earlier beta. Below is what I posted to another forum to sort it out and I guess it should still work with the RC2 release. As I've updated to each version its kept the UK dictionary….
I downloaded and installed the Firefox 2.0 beta 1 ready to be impressed by the new spell checking feature only to be disappointed when it didn't work.
I thought there must be an option to switch it on that I'd missed but couldn't find it. I discovered that the international versions have had the feature removed because there is a licensing issue described here in the Firefox status meeting 2006-03-07.
To overcome this problem I downloaded the US version of Fx2.0 and installed it over my copy. This created the [C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2 Beta 1] \dictionaries folders.
From this http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/dictionaries.html page I downloaded my local dictionary and opened it up in 7-zip. I extracted the two dictionary files (*.aff & *.dic) to the \dictionaries folder and when restarting Fx I was able to right-click on a misspelt word and change the language.
I am running Version 2.0 Firefox Standard US release and it locks up average 2 times a day. 1.x version seemed to work much btter on the same machine. I am praying for an update soon. However it could just be a bad installation on my machine.
Pehaps the fact that I installed IE7 a few minutes later had something to do with it *insert evil laugh here* perhaps monkey boy wants to burry firefox! Conspiracy theories are so much more fun that reality.


Be part of this colourful festival and witness the devotion of the faithful on their pilgrimage to the Batu Caves, bearing offerings to Lord Murugan, the Hindu deity the celebration honours.
Join in a truly wondrous cultural experince as Thaipusam is celebrated in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Witness the devotion of the kavadi bearers – faithful followers who bear colourful wooden structures attached by hooks and skewers to their bodies as penance – as they fulfill their vows to Lord Murugan by journeying to the Batu Caves during Thaipusam. Thaipusam celebrates the victory of Lord Murugan, a Hindu deity, over a mythical demon and is a major celebration in Malaysia.
Your tour begins after your arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Marvel at the modern cityscape, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, as you make your way into the city. Expect to see some of the major attractions linked to Malaysia's colonial past, and its journey towards independence, like the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, which housed the British administration, and the adjacent Independence Square, where the Malayan flag was first raised at the stroke of midnight on Independence Day. The square was previously the cricket grounds for the Selangor Club, a club founded by British administrators, which is still active in to this day.
Other sites include the National Monument, a reminder of the sacrifices made by Malaysia's people for peace and prosperity and the Kuala Lumpur Tower, a remarkable feat of architecture from which you can enjoy a breathaking view of the city. Unwind and refresh yourself after checking in, and wander through the streets of Malaysia's capital later in the day.
See the city at your own pace as you browse through the myriad of selections available at tthe numerous shopping malls that dot the city centre, or sample local delicacies at food outlets. There is even an optional tour available in the evening that showcases the cultural side of Kuala Lumpur, incorporating traditional Malay cuisine, a cultural performance and a visit to the city's Chinatown.
Wake up early and head down to Sri Mahamariamman Temple at Kuala Lumpur's old city centre if you wish to see the beginning point of the procession to Batu Caves. Many devotees begin at the temple and head towards Batu Caves on foot in the early hours of the morning in a bid to avoid the large crowds later in the day. City roads used in the procession route are closed to traffic for the ease of the devotees.
Next, make your way to Batu Caves via public transport. Most visitors to Batu Caves during Thaipusam favour using the Komuter train service that runs directly to the caves. Marvel at the crowd and join in the festivities when you finally arrive at the temple grounds. Venture up the 272 steps that lead to the temple complex within the caves along with the other devotees and kavadi bearers. Admire the beauty and mysticism of this wondrous place and see how a community worships its deities while being close to nature.
Return from Batu Caves and rest your weary feet in the evening. For those eager for some modern entertainment, check out the many nightclubs and lounges along the Bukit Bintang area as well as the scene at the Kuala Lumpur City Centre Precinct. Kuala Lumpur lights up at night and the party doesn't stop until after midnight.
Leave with fond memories of a truly unique celebration as you make your way from the city to the airport. Your trip comes to a a close as you depart on your flight at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
We have just arrived back from our trip. We just wanted to thank you for your excellent organisation of our trip to Malaysia. We had a wonderful time and everything went smoothly.
Walk the streets of Kuala Lumpur and soak in the local culture!

First Impression: Questr (PC) ~ Smartphone Game
Earlier this year, I played a game on my phone that's a sort of back and forth texting adventure. In this adventure, you guided a character to the end of the story. But, it didn't take long before I uninstalled that app on my phone since the mini-games were rigged in my opinion to encourage microtransactions. I still believe that the concept might work really well. So, when I came across the Questr, I was happy to see the concept return in a bit of a different light. Full disclosure, in order to review this game, I got a review code for free from the developers. Don't worry, you will only find my opinion on this article! So, let's go questing! And as usual, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section down below with your opinion on the game and/or the content of this article.
Choosing your party – Tinder Style
Your goal is to complete quests with a party you put together. Putting together a party is simple, you either swipe left or right. Just like on Tinder. Be careful though, each party member has his/her likes and dislikes. When you pair a house lion up with somebody who hates house lions, your party morale will go down. The lower your party morale, the more difficult completing your quest will be. There is one thing I would like to mention. The button to get new party people for 150 goal is broken. If you click on the card, nothing happens. Thankfully, clicking the heart button does the trick. Maybe something for the next patch?
Before I continue talking about the gameplay, I want to talk about the writing of this game. The writing in this game is pretty well done. It really captures the atmosphere of a group of adventures going on a quest. Expect, that all adventures have the attitude of the youth of today. The writing is full of charm, character and humor, it's a joy to read and I always wonder how certain characters will react to certain situations.
During your quests, random events will happen. It's up to you to choose who's response is the best and will give you the best outcome. In most cases, you are unable to tell and it's a guessing game. Sometimes this can be really frustrating since you know that another character had the right answer.
You lose party morale when you take the wrong decision and you gain party morale when you take the right decision. Party morale is extremely important since without it, your chances of survival and thereby the completion of the quest will get slim to nonexistent.
Tickets and contracts
If you think that, that is the only gameplay in this game, you are wrong. At certain spots, the game will give you the option to start with a ticket or a contract. The ticket will only be valid for the current quest and the contract will be effective for the whole path. With these, you can challenge yourself even more and tempt faith even more.
So, when you put your party together and you didn't get cat fished or rejected, you can start your quest. Together with great visuals. The game has a pretty clean and colorful look. Everything has this nice polished polygon look to it. Something that I didn't like about the visuals are some events cards. Like the card for a monster and a person doesn't show at all a person or a monster. This is a real shame since I really like the artwork of the characters.
The other problem I have with the visuals is that sometimes a tutorial bubble can go over some important information. This very rarely happens but when it does, it's annoying.
The quests you embark on are rather short and sweet. Whenever you have to quit the game in the middle of a quest, beware. You will lose your progress of that quest. But, this brings me to a point the developers could improve about this game.
I think a more clear "continue" option would be nice. To continue you have to start a "new" (notice the bunny ears) game and select the quest you left off to load your game. Now, it's clear which path you are playing, since it's right above the path. But, a continue option would be nice.
A nice feature is that you can spend your gold you earn during your quests to upgrades. These upgrades range from better matches during the party gathering process to better bonuses. They are all worth to invest in.
Something pretty surprising is that there is a feature you can stream your game directly to Twitch from the options menu. While I haven't tested this, I think this is very helpful for people who want to stream this game.
In the same options menu, you have a bug report button and a feedback form. This is a great feature to have in game, since this game is in early access. Now, don't be alarmed, the developers are working on more content for this game and they are aiming to release it in the near future.
They are trying to release a new content patch in December, but the developers told me this might be pushed back a bit. I hope they are able to succeed and finish the new content patch without a lot of delays.
Now something I wish they updated as well in the new content patch is the addition of more music. So far, I have heard only one music track in the game. While it not bad, I would love to hear more music in the game.
Speaking about the music, this brings me to the sound design. There aren't many sound effects in the game, but the once which are, are pretty good and add to the atmosphere of the game. I think it would be more fun if some events have special sound effects. Like when the explosive scroll gets read, you actually hear an explosion. It would add just that bit of additional atmosphere.
Something I think the game lacks too is a back button. What I mean with this is, that when you are on a path and you want to continue a different path, it takes a click too many if you need to go to the options menu and then have a button "main menu" and then click on "Play Game". It's a bit too much clicking for a simple task.
That's everything I wanted to say about this game for now. While I haven't talked about everything, I have left a few things for you to discover like how the gold system works, how the quests are chosen, steam achievements and other things. I really recommend this game to casual players who are looking for something different.
I'm so happy that this game exists. It really fills the hole left by that game that was ruined in my opinion by micro transactions I talked about in the introduction. Currently, this game is 15€ on Steam. I highly recommend that you give this game a try. I enjoyed my time with it. Also, the developers are really open and listen to your feedback. So, if you find a bug, typo or something… Report it. Have a suggestion, go to the Steam forums and suggest it.
I thank you so much for reading this article and I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope to be able to welcome you in another article but until then, have a great rest of your day and take care.

First Impression: Computer Tycoon (PC – Steam) ~ Computers Everywhere
Official steam page – Official website
It's no secret that I'm studying to become a computer science guy. My biggest dream job is that I can be the IT guy for a big school or group of schools. There is just something about tech and education that I adore. Not too long ago, I found a game called Computer Tycoon on Twitter. When I saw it, I got interested quite fast in the game. This game can be an educational game about how the computer industry works and things like that. This is just great, so I got in touch with the developer and we talked back and forth. So, the developer provided me with a review code for this game and said that I was free to talk about my own opinions. So, even when I got this game for free; this review is all my opinion.
Note: This game is still in Early Access, but the developer wants your feedback to improve the game! Most of this review is based on v0.9.1.20.
Note: Just recently, this game got MAC support. But, I'm a Windows user, so I reviewed this game on Windows.
Starting out!
In this game, you play as a young fellow that is looking to start building computers and selling them. Your goal is to build a big computer empire. When you are just starting out, I highly recommend that you disable almost every opponent.
You start in the early '70s. You are greeted by an informative message from the developer. The information displayed in this information box is quite helpful to get you started. I highly recommend that you read it.
Then you pick a country to get started. Think before you pick a country since this will decide how your game is going to play out. Also, choose your starting country depending on the stats of the country.
By default, you get a random world. That means that all stats of the countries are randomized. So, in one game, Sweden can be a rich country looking for features on their computers and in another round, they can be a poor country looking for more ease-of-use in their computers.
So, after you picked your starting location, it's time to create your office and a place to build your computers. Build an office and a factory. After that, you start creating your own computer. Add as much as you can but try to avoid making the computer too expensive.
After that, sell your first computer and try to expand your company and improve your technology. Keep in mind that you can set up your new computer when you have the time paused.
I hope with these helpful tips you can get started and enjoy the game. While it's quite helpful if you know about how computer work and what part does what, it isn't really needed. The developer provided a lot of explanation and tooltips in the game that explains things when you don't understand what you are doing.
If you think that games today are easy, you are in luck. This game provides you with a lot of challenge. Depending on how many opponents you picked and the difficulty setting, you will have to think on your feet.
Whenever something requires your attention, like you need to upgrade your factory, you will have a voice sample playing. I think this can be expanded a little bit. There are deaf people on this planet and I think it would be lovely if these things show in a text box like other things. Yet, I must say that the voice acting is very nicely done.
Clicking around
The most important thing to play this game is your monitor and your mouse. You barely use your keyboard in this game. I would love some shortcut keys in a feature version, like "W" to open the world map or "R" to open your research tab.
Visually, this game looks great. When building an office; it raises out of the ground. I really like the visual presentation of this game. I wish there were a few more character portraits for me to choose from while starting a new game.
The UI of the game is good. Do remember, that this game is still in early access. So, some parts of the UI might look unpolished. Just report them to the developer on the Steam forums. He is a great guy and really listens to what the people who play are saying about his game.
In addition to that, he asks frequently for the player's input. For example, where he asks where players get stuck to improve the tutorial. I already gave him a few suggestions right before I have published this article and I think they will get into the game.
Personally, I recommend playing this game in full-screen. It makes the UI better in the current versions of the game.
This game has an autosave feature. You get notified when this game has automatically saved. You can always save from the pause menu and give your save file a unique name.
The soundtrack of this game is very good. The soundtrack really fits the atmosphere of the game and I'm thinking about adding some of the tracks to my playlist.
I highly enjoy playing through this game and when I have the free time, I boot up this game and start playing it. Like I said earlier, I recommend that you play this game when you aren't tired. Since this game requires your concentration.
Flaws and such
The gameplay is fun, the music is great, the UI is good and the game provides a good amount of challenge. The game gets regular updates to improve the things that the community tells him. But, does the game have flaws are things it should improve?
Here are a few things I think can improve to make the game more enjoyable or that frustrate me about the game.
One, in my first playthroughs, I got heavily discouraged seeing how fast the rival company was in "owning land". The whole map was colored in my rival company's color in a matter of minutes. I think the AI is a bit too smart in that front.
Two, I think that the "hardware" menu needs the most polishing up before the game goes out of early access. There should be more filters so you can look more easily for parts of a computer you took off the market. Also, I think it would be handy if you could "bulk-archive" (Archive more than one piece of hardware at one time). Finally, I think that the order of the list should be a piece of hardware instead of the seemingly random mess it is now.
Three, make the text more readable. Some parts of the UI aren't readable. Especially on some screen sizes, the text flows together into one big blur. Or when something is crammed into a box, like "United Kingdom". Thankfully, this is something the developer knows about and is going to fix.
Four, building a computer can be a real mess. When you click on "RAM" to add RAM, you can build a new piece of hardware. Now, I can pick any part of a computer. Even a hard disk for example. When you try to add the wrong part to the RAM, it goes to the right place in the blueprint. I honestly think that this part of the can be polished up and made easier.
All in all, most of the flaws I find in this game are fixable. For real, once I understood this game and its little quirks, I got addicted. This game is a lot of fun for people who build the computer and are looking for a new tycoon game to play.
The more I play this game, the more I'm amazed by the quality of this game. I always say that a game has a lot of potentials, but this game sure has it.
When the game is more polished up and fixed the things that irritate me, I think that this game might become a game I will play whenever I have that tycoon itch.
I really urge everybody to support the development of this game. Buy a copy, since it's quite cheap on Steam. You get a lot of value for your game and you get a developer who listens to the community and tries to improve the game so that as many people as possible can enjoy this game. He doesn't need to do a lot to make me enjoy this game since I'm already doing that!
That's everything I wanted to say about this game for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope to be able to welcome you in another article but until then, have a great rest of your day and take care!

Thanks to Jesse, The Intronaut is now completely transcribed! J. gets into the connection between introversion, music, and the paradox of choice. Bonus picture of age-12 J. in Def Leppard swag!
Vinyl buyers are middle-aged introverts according to new study.
I remember those! I had a Walkman too. Crazy stuff, sharing your music player. LOL!
Great episode — just about everything you said either got me thinking or had me reliving my youth. I think the whole instant music thing will damage music in the long term, though. I can remember buying albums (on tape of course — this was pre-CD) on the strength of a song I'd heard on the radio (in the UK back then, there were a couple of hours a week of decent metal, and that was about the only way of hearing new stuff). But over time the songs that stuck with me were the other tracks, the ones that didn't get airplay. I wonder how much fantastic music I would have missed if I'd been able to get just the songs I (thought I) wanted.
Sometimes, the best music takes time to work its magic. If we always chase the instant, shiny new thing, we're missing out on the deeper stuff.
Another comment — I think sharing music as an introvert makes sense. At gigs, the focus is all on the band, so the introvert fan can be social without having to do the dreaded small-talk thing. And even with friends, having music playing provides an escape from the conversation (if you're a bit distant, it's because you're listening to the music). Also, the music gives a shared experience, so again there is not as much need to cope with small-talk.
You're so right on the deep cuts theory. I was never a "hit song" or "single" kind of dude. I always thought it was unfair to the artist. Almost like reading only a single chapter of a novel.
I hated when those DJs talked over the songs and ruined my mix tapes! Lol. I also miss being able to call the radio station to make song requests. Ah, the good 'ol days.
Yep. All the way up to (and sometimes over) the first few lines of the first verse!
But yeah, I remember recording songs off the radio on tapes and buying a brand new tape and then CD. The album art was always such a big deal, too. It was exciting and you were proud of what you bought.
Totally agree! A new record/cassette/CD was always an experience. I think that's why "unpacking" videos are so popular. Same rationale.


We have just produced three epic TV commercials for eir's PrepPay, Billpay and Broadband services. For PrePay and its younger audience, as dancers, cast from Instagram, share their moves to Wild Youth's impossibly catchy "Making me Dance". For Billpay phone customers, 96% 4G coverage comes to life in the story of long-distance swimmer Alan Corcoran, who uses off-shore connectivity to plan his month-long swim around Ireland and keep in touch with his supporters. For Broadband we show a typical family plunged deep into the eclectic worlds of music, gaming and sport, thanks to eir's better broadband.


Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Stephanie Lynch from HowMuchIsIt. Her opinions are her own.
Congratulations! Your small business is booming, and you can now afford to hire an employee for the very first time. Perhaps you're exhausted from wearing too many hats at once over the years or you need to hand off the time-consuming tasks to someone else. Maybe there are aspects of your business you don't really understand and you would like to hire a specialist who does.
Whatever your circumstances may be, this isn't something you will want to jump into too fast. To limit your risk of hiring the wrong person and dealing with the consequences down the road, there are eight things you should do before recruiting your first employee.
As a small business owner, you probably need a help with a lot of things – from running a social media campaign to answering the phones. But you can't just post an ad that says, "I need an employee to help me do a bit of everything"!
Instead of being broad, pin it down and think of two to three specific tasks you will need to be done that are taking up too much of your time. For example, if you were running an e-commerce business, then you could say you need someone to help pack and ship. For a flooring company, you may need someone to help you gather the supplies, prep a workspace and help lay the flooring. From there, the more detailed you are with your job description, the more qualified the applicant will be.
Today, if you post a job online, there's a good chance you will get hundreds of resumes, especially if the job doesn't require much in terms of experience and/or education. But unfortunately, many won't qualify.
When you post this job, you probably already have the right employee in mind, but if you post your ad on the wrong job recruiting website or look in the wrong places, you may never find the perfect someone.
Aside from waiting for the resumes to come in, think outside the box and actively recruit by skimming resumes on LinkedIn and/or reaching out to other local businesses to see if they know of anyone who may be looking for a job. Hiring the wrong employee, according to Forbes, could cost you 30% of the employee's first-year earnings.
A good hiring manager will look at an employee's past successes. But what many fail to ignore is the future potential.
While the evidence of the past can show you what kind of worker they are, the ability to see potential can make it that much easier to hire a future superstar. To find someone with a ton of potential, look for someone who has an interest/passion like yours, and of course, make sure they are good at what they do. By mixing passion and skills, you will likely find someone who can flourish as your company grows.
As I already mentioned, hiring a bad employee can cost your company quite a bit. To avoid this costly mistake, it's important to make sure an applicant can prove what they say. Even if their resume looks perfect and they interview like a rock star, what happens if they can't perform the tasks like you want them to?
Today, it's so easy to BS your way into a job. To weed out these so-called professionals, have them prove it. For example, if you're hiring a salesperson, ask them to sell you something on the spot. If you're hiring a marketing manager, let them explain a strategy they would use to market a certain product. These results will be a lot more surprising than you think and should only take a few minutes of your time during the interview process.
In most cases, so many founders of companies are reluctant to hire, even when it's clear they are overworking themselves. As soon as you know you're going to need to a new employee, start the hiring process, even if you feel you're going to be tight with money at first. That extra "oomph" another person gives you in terms of work power may be totally worth it in the end. Otherwise, if you fail to act, it could take you weeks to perform tasks that only should have taken five days.
If your business is shared with a partner, it's always best to interview together. Since a company's culture is so important, it's best to see that everyone will get along together to avoid conflicts or those awkward quiet work meetings. Even if person A gets along with person C, it doesn't mean person A and C will get along with person B. By interviewing together, you can share your thoughts together to make sure the new hire is a great choice.
Even if your potential hire meets your guidelines, what happens if they just served a 10-year jail stint for embezzlement? Is this someone who you would like to hire? A simple background screening test can cost less than $50 and can cover all your bases. In fact, some are even advanced enough to even include a personality test to get to know your candidate even more. While you can trust your gut, you will never know what their past looks like.
Since this will be a new hire, it's important to establish a company policy before making it official. While you don't need to write a 100-page handbook, it's best, at least at a minimum, to include the company's dress code, the benefits offered and the number of vacation and sick days you will offer. Make sure you let it be known during the process or else your new hire may question your management experience.
Hiring a new employee can be exciting, and yet, nerve wracking at the same time. Be prepared, plan it all out and try your best to find someone who shares your passion and work ethic. Growing your small business with a new person can be an enriching experience so be sure to enjoy it!

What is the Extent of Harm in Rail-Pedestrian Crashes?
Project Title What is the Extent of Harm in Rail-Pedestrian Crashes?
Brief Description of Research Project Rail trespassing deaths and injuries have risen, based on 2012 Federal Railroad Administration statistics. Specifically, fatalities to persons trespassing rail-tracks and property were 437, and trespass injuries were 427, both numbers higher than in preceding years and indicating billions of dollars in costs. With pedestrian-train collisions as a key concern in the future (due to increasing exposure of pedestrians and more trains), the problem is likely to get worse, if appropriate actions are not taken. This project will investigate pedestrian-train crashes, exploring the associations of pedestrian behavior and other factors with injury and harm. We will explore what the socio-demographics of those who indulge in unsafe trespassing acts and examine the critical combinations of crash types, rail-track facility types and rail property locations associated with greater pedestrian harm and injury. The results will shed light on appropriate countermeasures that can reduce severity of such collisions.

Exclusive – Steve Scalise and House Republicans Condemn Biden's Effort to Shutdown Second Oil Pipeline
Wendell Husebø
Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Michigan House Republicans on Tuesday condemned President Joe Biden's effort to shut down a second oil pipeline while American workers grapple with seven-year high gas prices.
On Monday, the White House acknowledged the administration is weighing the closure of a Michigan pipeline to satisfy Indian tribes, who say the Line 5 pipeline is an "existential threat to [their] treaty-protected rights, resources, and fundamental way of life." Biden already canceled a permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline in January that would have transported 830,000 barrels per day.
"It is clear that President Biden never learned his lesson following his disastrous decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline, which cost thousands of energy jobs and eliminated a reliable source of oil," Scalise exclusively told Breitbart News. "Now after caving to far-left special interests in Glasgow, he wants to kill the Line 5 pipeline in Michigan, even after he green-lit the Nord Stream 2 pipeline for Russia," Scalise said, referencing the Russian pipeline Biden permitted to be built in Europe.

Republican representatives in Michigan are especially angered by the pipeline's potential closure, which transports about 23 million gallons of oil per day from Canada into the state.
In Michigan's first district, where the pipeline is primarily located, Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) said, "shutting down Line 5 would saddle constituents with unaffordable heating costs and propane shortages as we head into the winter months."
"The Biden Administration must end this terrible policy and immediately put the needs of Michiganders first," Bergman added about the potential of the pipeline closure.
Just outside Detroit in Michigan's seventh district, Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) told Breitbart News that Biden's war on American energy may "cause further supply chain disruptions, and send home heating costs through the roof."
"First it was terminating the Keystone XL pipeline, now it is the Line 5 pipeline, which serves more than 50 percent of Michigan's propane needs, that is under attack," Walberg said. "If President Biden goes through with shutting down Line 5, it would be a significant blow to Michigan's economy."

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) from Michigan's third district also warned the closure of the pipeline would increase energy prices and kill jobs. "With oil shortages already expected and winter months approaching, shutting down the pipeline and putting thousands out of work would be a devastating decision from families across Michigan and the Midwest," Meijer's office told Breitbart News.
Meanwhile, the Canadian company that owns Line 5 pipeline is fighting in state and federal court to keep the pipeline open. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) has already "revoked and terminated" the company's easement and demanded the pipeline be shut down by spring.
The opposition to the pipeline contends the transport vehicle violates the 1836 Treaty of Washington that grants Indian tribes hunting and gathering rights in exchange for the lands. Defenders of the pipeline, however, believe terminating the pipeline would break an agreement with Canada that allows the flow of oil between the North American countries.
When the White House was asked Monday about its consideration of closing the pipeline to appease the Native American tribes, deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged the administration is reviewing their pipeline policy.
Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledges the Biden administration is "studying" shutting down the Line 5 Pipeline.

"There is a review, and we're waiting," she said.
Meanwhile, gas prices continue to rise, with the national average price per gallon on Tuesday reaching $3.419, according to AAA. The pricy seven-year-high caused Senate Democrats to ask the White House to resolve the problem before the 2022 midterms.
"In light of these pressing concerns, we ask that you consider all tools available at your disposal to lower US gasoline prices. This includes a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a ban on crude oil exports," senators requested on Monday.
But Biden has blamed OPEC for not producing enough oil while ignoring his anti-American energy policies. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm suggested on Sunday gas prices could reach $4.00 per gallon if OPEC does not act.
"OPEC is, unfortunately, controlling the agenda with respect to oil prices. OPEC is a cartel, and it controls over 50 percent of the supply of gasoline," Granholm claimed.

Police Officer John Bartlett was killed when he was struck by a commercial truck while on a traffic stop at the intersection of Aurora Avenue North and North Motor Place.
Officer Bartlett was standing by the traffic offender's door when a passing truck swerved around his patrol car and drove into the lane where he was standing. The truck mirror struck Officer Bartlett and seriously injured him. He was transported to the hospital where he died two days later of his injuries. The driver of the commercial truck was arrested a short time later.
Officer Bartlett had been a member of the Seattle Police Department for nine years. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Officer Bartlett, rest in peace.

Since 2017. Bishop Lewis has been encouraging the Virginia Conference to read the Bible in a year. Each year has featured a different way of reading.
For 2019, the Bible Challenge will be a blended style of reading; a mixture of Old Testament readings and New Testament each day. In this new year, challenge yourself to study the Bible and strengthen your faith in the process. Each month's readings will also be printed in each Advocate issue.
• Start reading the Bible today.
• Set aside a specific time and place each day. Set your schedule and then stick to it. Mornings are great; but feel free to use any time that works consistently with your schedule.
• Get a good study Bible to help to illuminate the meaning of the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek text.
• Choose a translation to use during your reading.
• Say a short prayer to God before you begin, asking the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and understanding.
• Dive in and enjoy the richness of God's Word! Apply God's Word to your life. Bible study should be practical and applicable. I assure you that these seven steps will help you begin a journey in becoming a "lifelong learner" of God's Word.


..:: AsmBB ::.. "AsmBB how to download, compile and install."
AsmBB how to download, compile and install.
AsmBB is high performance web forum software, written entirely in assembly language. It is very lightweight, but provides decent set of features and ultimate performance.
The easiest way to install AsmBB is to download the binary package.
Download the package from this link: asmbb.tar.gz (it is permanent link to the latest trunk version of the package).
It contains the file install.txt with directions for installation on shared hosting.
This package contains the forum engine AsmBB, which is high performance web forum engine, written entirely in assembly language.
In order to use AsmBB you will need running web server, supporting FastCGI protocol. Most web servers will do the job. Particularly Apache.
You can install AsmBB on local server (for testing) on shared hosting or any other hosting option.
The only mandatory condition is that the server must run on x86 or x86-64 Linux platform and the fastcgi module should be enabled (most servers running php has it enabled anyway).
AsmBB is self sufficient and does not requires any libraries or databases installed on the server.
In order to send mails to the forum users, AsmBB will need the address and port number of SMTP server that is accessible from your web server without authentication. Most SMTP servers provided by the web hosting will not need authentication if connected from the local network (i.e. the web site engine).
First unpack the files in temporary directory. Depending on your server edit the file .htaccess (Apache) or lighttpd.conf (lighttpd) - Change the "_FULL_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_ROOT_HERE_" placeholder to the real path to your document root (it depends on the web server settings).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the uploaded files have the proper permissions for the www-data user (the web server user). The www-data user will need writing permissions in the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory. The executable files must have 755 permissions.
IMPORTANT FOR Lighttpd: The provided in the package file "lighttpd.cond is just an example. Lighttpd keeps its config files in: "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" and all files in "/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/" directory. You will need to merge the example config in the existing files in one or another consistent way and then restart lighttpd.
If using another web server, prepare the configuration by yourself.
Upload all files (directories and symlinks) of the package to the document_root directory of your web server.
IMPORTANT: The package may contain some symlinks. Ensure they are uploaded together with the files. Notice, that FTP can't upload symlinks.
The simplest way is to upload the tarball to the server and unpack there by using cpanel tools, ssh or any other way.
Read the chapter "Easy Installation on Apache by FTP" below, about how to make the proper upload by FTP.
Test the forum by loading the web site in your favorite browser.
The script will unpack all files, prepare the proper .htaccess file and redirect you to the new created forum working in setup mode.
Introduction to the forum configuration.
When run for the first time, AsmBB will create an empty database for the forum - a file, named board.sqlite in the root directory.
Until there is no users registered, AsmBB will run in setup mode, displaying the administrator user creation dialog.
The registration of the admin user will not need email activation and is pretty liberal about the quality of the password. But you as an administrator of the forum, better choose strong password and whatever nickname you prefer.
After creation the administrator user, the access to the forum settings is restricted only for the users with administrator privileges.
Set the SMTP server and other forum parameters in the settings page.
Downloading the sources of AsmBB.
AsmBB is hosted in fossil version control system on AsmBB repository.
The best way to get the source code of AsmBB is to clone the repository (you will need fossil installed on your system).
The installation of Fresh IDE is described in details in the Fresh IDE setup manual.
After installing Fresh IDE, set the lib alias (Options|IDE options|Aliases) to point to the "FreshLibDev/freshlib/" directory.
Now you are ready to compile AsmBB.
Open the file AsmBB/source/engine.fpr (the project file) in Fresh IDE and press Ctrl+F9.
If the compilation complete without errors, the compiled binary is AsmBB/www/engine.
Deploying AsmBB on the server.
templates/* - contains all HTML templates needed by the engine.
images/* - contains all images needed by the forum. The specific images are only depending on the templates and the .css files. The engine itself does not hardcode the image files.
all.css - contains the CSS code. The name of this file is specified in templates/main_html_start.tpl and may vary if the templates has been changed.
engine - the forum engine.
libsqlite3.so - the SQLite library. In order to work on 64bit servers, this file has been statically linked and compiled with musl library.
ld-musl-i386.so - the MUSL dynamic linker, needed for loading libraries on 64bit servers.
Here are some parameters used in the current version of the forum engine. The parameters, marked as "Mandatory!" must be set during the installation of the forum engine.
"host" - string; Mandatory! The domain name of the forum.
"smtp_addr" - string; Mandatory! The URL or IP address of the smtp server used to send the user activation emails. This address should be on the same host (see "host" above) as the forum itself, or should allow sending emails without authentication.
"smtp_port" - integer; Mandatory! The port (the usual is 25, but can vary) of the smtp server.
"page_length" - integer (default: 20); The number of items, grouped in pages (both posts in a thread and threads in the thread list).
"log_events" - integer (flag (0, 1), default: 0); When 1 enables the logging mechanism of the forum. The logging is useful for debugging, but slows down the engine.
"forum_title" - string (default: "AsmBB"; The initial part of the forum title, as displayed in the browser title bar. Some suffix parts are added to this string (for example the current thread title) to form the result title of the current page.
"avatar_max_size" - integer (default: 50KB); The maximal size of the user uploaded images in bytes.
"avatar_width" - integer (default: 128px); The width of the user uploaded avatars. Avatars with different width are rejected. Notice, that the avatars already uploaded to the database will not be affected by the change of this parameter.
"avatar_height" - integer (default: 128px); The height of the user uploaded avatars. Avatars with different height are rejected. Notice, that the avatars already uploaded to the database will not be affected by the change of this parameter.
More important of these parameters can be set from the /!settings (settings panel) of the forum.
The templates are text files, with extension ".tpl" located in the directory "/templates". They contains some text, mixed with special commands, interpreted by the forum engine in order to create the HTML code of the pages, sent to the user.
By editing the template files, it is possible to change the appearance of the forum to any desirable visual skin.
The commands are enclosed in square brackets and can be nested recursively. Each command in fact returns some text value, replacing the command itself.
2. Pointer to an array of engine internal variables about the currently served HTTP request.
This way, the commands are two types - commands returning information from the internal data structures of the engine and commands returning information from the SQL statement.
[special:KEYWORD] It is group of commands, returning information from the internal data structure.
[special:version] - Returns the version of the engine executable file.
[special:timestamp] - Returns the time elapsed from the beginning of the current HTTP request, formatted as a decimal number with 3 digits after the decimal point. The time is measured in milliseconds with resolution in microseconds.
[special:title] - Returns the full current page title.
[special:username] - Returns the username of the user that made the request, or empty string if the user is not logged in.
[special:userid] - Returns the ID of the user (as in Users table of the database) that made the request, or 0 if the user is not logged in.
[special:permissions] - Returns the permissions of the user that made the request. If the user is not logged in - returns 0.
[special:isadmin] - 1 if the user is admin. 0 - if not admin or not logged in.
[special:canlogin] - 1 if the user is permitted to login. Currently, it is always 1, but in the future versions is possible to be used to ban users by IP.
[special:canpost] - 1 if the user is permitted to post messages in existing threads.
[special:canstart] - 1 if the user is permitted to start new threads.
[special:canedit] - 1 if the user can edit the currently displayed post. 0 elsewhere. This flag is a little bit tricky. It will be 1 only if the user has global editing permission or if the current SQL statement, passed to the template engine has field "userid" equal to the userid of the current user and this current user has editing permissions for its own content.
[special:candel] - 1 if the user can delete the currently displayed post. See [special:canedit] for detailed explanation.
[special:page] - Returns the number of the page, as specified in the requested URL or 0 if no page is specified. It has meaning only for the thread lists and threads pages.
[special:dir] - Returns the current directory (in other words the current selected tag) as specified in the requested URL.
[special:thread] - Returns the slug of the thread as specified in the request URL. Has meaning only for threads.
[special:referer] - Returns the page from where the user came. i.e. the HTTP_REFERER header of the request.
[special:alltags] - Returns all tags, of the forum, that have at least 1 thread attached, formatted in HTML with sizes, proportional to their popularity (i.e. the number of threads tagged with every tag). This command is aimed especially to construct the tag list displayed at the top of the pages. Can be styled by CSS or/and JS if needed.
[special:setupmode] - Special tag, that has value of 1 only when the forum is in setup mode, i.e. the Users table is empty. In this mode, only the admin created form is displayed by the forum. Should not be used in the templates actually.
[special:search] - Returns the current search query of the forum search engine.
[special:posters=THREAD_ID] - Returns list of the usernames of the thread starter and first several posters in the thread with ID=THREAD_ID. Can be used in the thread list summary representation of the thread. The list is formatted in HTML.
[special:threadtags=THREAD_ID] - Similar to the previous command, returns a list of the tags, assigned to a thread with ID=THREAD_ID.
[minimag:MARKDOWN_TEXT] - This command parses the markdown formatted text MARKDOWN_TEXT and converts it into HTML. The markup is very similar to the base markdown, but has some differences.
[case:INDEX|TEXT0|TEXT1|TEXT2..|TEXTN] - case operator, depending on the value of INDEX, one of the "|" delimited texts is returned. The operator works with saturation. If the value of INDEX is bigger than the number of provided texts, the last text is returned.
[sql:SQL_STATEMENT|PARAM1|PARAM2|...|PARAMN] - Prepares SQL statement SQL_STATEMENT, binds the "?" parameters to the provided, "|" separated values and executes the query. The query must be scalar - i.e. to return only one value and this value is returned as a result of the operation. If the query ends with empty set or error, an empty string is returned. Notice: this is extremely dangerous command that can destroy the data base! Use only "select" statements and always use fixed query and parameter bindings.
and is safe for use, because does not access the database at all.
The fields of the SQL statement passed to the template are replaced by simply enclosing the field name in square brackets.
For example [username] will return the value of the field "username" from the statement if such field exists.
If such field does not exists, the command is not replaced at all.
Every template file has its own different SQL query that is passed to it with its own set of accessible database fields.
The fields will be described with the description of the particular template files.
"main_html_start" - this is the main forum HTML header.
"main_html_end" - this is the main forum HTML footer.
Every visible page in the forum is formed by concatenation of "main_html_start", then one or more from the other templates, described below and then "main_html_end" at the end.
Both templates has no access to the database fields.
"error_html_start" - the header part of the generated HTML on error pages.
"error_html_end" - the footer of the generated HTML on error pages (i.e. these for 404, and other HTTP error pages).
Both error header and footer templates has no access to database fields. These templates are very similar to the previous two, but are used for the error page rendering.
"activation_email_subject" - This is the text of the "subject" field of the activation email, sent to the user during his registration or email change notification.
"activation_email_text" - The text of the registration (or email change) activation message.

Exclusionary zoning is an oft-mentioned policy that keeps affordable housing out of neighborhoods through land use and building code requirements.

Discussions about neighborhood character, and zoning codes used to protect it, have the same effect as racial covenants, according to an article by Gretchen Brown. While zoning codes often specifically state the desire to protect neighborhood character, such as an example cited from St.

A Star Is Born at Cal State East Bay
Jessica Palopoli
Maha Sanad, Social Media Editor
CSUEB Alumnus, Reggie D. White, and His Success as a Theater Actor
On Nov. 19, Berkeley Playhouse began its run of the well-known and beloved musical "Into the Woods," starring California State University, East Bay alumnus Reggie D. White as "The Baker."
Reggie D. White is a multifaceted thespian based in New York. Not only is he a theater actor but a musician, writer, and director with a passion for developing new theater productions as well.
He shares his appreciation for how CSUEB impresses upon its theatre students the importance of learning all the ins and outs of every aspect of theatre production.
"It was very important for us not just to be actors but to work on the lighting crews; you have to take a bunch of design components, you have to learn dramaturgy, you're asked to direct, and be involved in all these things because a life as a storyteller, there's a lot of different ways to be involved," White shared.
In this production of "Into the Woods" at Berkeley Playhouse, White stars as the character called "The Baker," the hero of the story. Before starring in one of the most notable musicals of all time, White's journey into theater productions blossomed right here at CSUEB.
"I really appreciate the solid foundation that I got at Cal State East Bay," White said.
White was a student at CSUEB from 2006 to 2011, working towards getting a degree in Theatre Arts with a Musical Theatre focus. White did not complete his degree but plans on doing so soon, according to Catherine Cyr, the Administrative Support Coordinator and Box Office Manager for the Department of Theatre and Dance.
White confirmed that he does indeed plan on finishing his degree at CSUEB sometime soon and cites one of the biggest reasons for this decision as being his grandmother, who passed away in early 2019 who always hoped to see her grandson graduate. White also shares another reason for the decision to finish his degree.
"I've been talking with Professor Darryl Jones, who has been my chief mentor since before I wanted him to be in my freshman year. He knew there was an actor inside of me. He's been a generous, thoughtful, persistent guiding voice. He's been really helpful in helping me plan and figure out how I get to do that," White said.
While a student at CSUEB, White was classmates with another distinguished and Tony award-nominated actress, Chalia La Tour. White and La Tour also premiered on Broadway within the same couple of weeks of each other.
Despite making his big break in New York, White remains involved in the CSUEB community. In May 2021, White returned to CSUEB and did an in-class "Esai's Table" performance for students in the Department of Theatre and Dance.
After his time at CSUEB, White has found immense success in the theatre world. On top of acting in productions such as "The Inheritance," White also has a passion for teaching students about theater and helping them in their journeys.
"I believe fully in the transformative power of theater education. The craft of theater-making has given me so much, and I deeply relish opportunities to share that craft in the classroom," White said.
White is responsible for creating and contributing to many theater education programs and initiatives, including creating the Young Writers of Color Collective at Berkeley Rep School of Theatre. He is currently the Artistic Director of the Atlantic Acting School, where he also teaches and is an alumnus of.
Critics rave about White and his stage presence while performing in previous productions. One reviewer wrote, "White is compellingly watchable, loaded with charisma that just makes us want to be his friend." Another reviewer stated, "But by far, the highlight of the production is Bay Area veteran actor Reggie D. White."
After hearing reviews like that, it is difficult not to want to take advantage of White being back in the Bay Area and performing so close by at Berkeley Playhouse.
Berkeley Playhouse is an intimately sized theater and offers affordable tickets to amazing performances. They offer various discounts, including students and seniors, season passes, and one "Pay What You Can" performance for each production.
"Into the Woods" will continue to run at Berkeley Playhouse until Dec. 23. Do not miss out on the chance to see the musical live, all while supporting a local theater and a CSUEB alumnus at the same time.

As if guiding their tween daughters through puberty, style faux pas and possibly a first kiss weren't enough, entrepreneurial moms across the country have created tween beauty brands that eschew harsh chemicals in favor of natural and organic ingredients.
Quite independently of one another, these women developed product lines in response to concerns about traditional beauty ingredients that could be harmful for their daughters' developing bodies.
"The two major concerns are the toxins and known carcinogens in most products. Some of the ingredients also disrupt natural hormone activity, and developing girls may be more susceptible to the side-effects of these hormone disruptors. Specifically, the parabens and other ingredients may act like estrogens, both plant-based and synthetic," said Brittany Clotfelter, founder of Glory for Girls, located in Del Mar, California.
Having conscientiously raised their daughters on organic food and swaddled them in organic cotton, these mothers found that tween-targeted brands and even skin-care and bath/body brands sold at natural food stores include worrisome chemicals. Ingredients like propylene glycol, used in lip gloss, and sodium laureth sulfate, used to create lather in shampoo, pose concerns over their ability to disrupt and alter hormones.
In the case of Kim Anderson, it was her 16 year old daughter Ava, who led and inspired the creation of Ava Anderson Non-Toxic, which launched in December 2009 as a direct selling company with 20 products. Guided by the ingredient warnings posted on www.cosmeticsdatabase.com, a website, which is supported by safety watchdog Environmental Working Group, Ava identified three major concerns regarding conventional products. First was the lack of U.S. regulations for product ingredients, second was the contaminant bi-products created during the formulation process, and third were unidentified chemicals included in ingredients simply listed as fragrance.
"After spending what seemed like forever reading labels we quickly realized there were no products we felt were pure, effective or formulated specifically enough for young skin. We knew if we were looking for safe beautiful natural products for our own daughters, other moms were too," stated Grace Hvasta-Petrarca and Kim Grustas, founders of Good For You Girls, based in New Hartford, Connecticut. Visit www.goodforyougirls for an extensive list of red-flag chemical ingredients.
But as any mom knows, telling your daughter that something is good for her usually generates a big shrug. "Girls today are very brand savvy and image conscious," said Ms. Clotfelter. These tween lines adopt colorful packaging and engaging websites to mesh with the lifestyle of the under 13 set.
Created by moms Hilary Orr and Darcy McMahon in Huntington Beach, California, Sparklehearts products are made of 99.6% natural, vegetable and plant-based ingredients. Shampoo, conditioner, hair detangler, body wash and body lotion are all priced at $12.49 on www.sparklehearts.com.
Daughter Remy inspired Brittany Clotfelter to develop a line that wouldn't cause her daughter's skin to break out. The 11-item range includes moisturizers, cleansers, lip balms, deodorant, scrub, clarifying lotion and sunscreens, priced from $7.00 to $22.00, in addition to kits. Available at specialty stores across the country and at www.gloryforgirls.com.
Not only is this skin care line composed of 100% natural, organic and vegan ingredients without petrochemicals, dyes or irritants, but the packaging is recyclable and decorated with water-based inks. Grace Hvasta-Petrarca and Kim Grustas sell their line at natural food stores and specialty retailers nationwide as well as at www.goodforyougirls.com. A skin-care kit with gel cleanser, toner and oil-free moisturizer is priced at $19.99.
Featured in Glamour and Teen Vogue magazines as well as AOL's stylelist.com, Ava Anderson has developed skin-care and makeup products that are sold by 600 consultants in more than 40 states. The line only uses ingredients that score "zero" on the 0-10 toxicity scale determined by www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. Designed for all ages, Ava Anderson products are priced from $8.95 to $21.95. More information at www.avaandersonnontoxic.com.
Spearheaded by non-profit Teens for Safe Cosmetics, Teens Turning Green launched at Whole Foods in 2008. The group collaborated with natural beauty companies in California, Washington and Toronto to create seven teen body and skin-care products as well as a lip balm, all priced between $3.99 and $21.00.

The lines of food trucks along Hennepin Avenue, as seen from the upper level of Kitchen Window.
The food trucks typically lining downtown Minneapolis streets for the lunch crowd have mostly closed up shop now that colder weather has arrived. But city health inspectors might still be out there looking for them.
As many diners know, finding a specific food truck is a crapshoot even at the height of summer. Sometimes, inspectors have a hard time finding them, too.
As a result, about one-quarter of licensed food trucks in Minneapolis haven't been getting an annual inspection from the city's Health Department.
Of the 95 food trucks licensed to operate in Minneapolis two years ago, at least 29 percent were not inspected that year. Last year, there were more trucks and 25 percent went without inspection, according to a Star Tribune analysis of inspections data provided by the city.
Inspectors find and inspect most food trucks during the peak months of spring and summer by showing up at popular downtown food truck groupings, festivals and farmers markets, and then inspecting any food trucks they find.
Near the end of August, inspectors start looking for specific trucks they haven't yet inspected.
They might check social media or cruise around the city. Eventually, they might call the food truck owner. If they can't find the truck or if the truck is done operating for the year, inspectors will mark it down as "not in operation."
When inspectors tried to find trucks after September, they were largely unsuccessful. Two years ago, 81 percent of these late inspection attempts failed; last year, 51 percent failed.
Almost all of the food trucks that were ultimately not inspected in 2015 and 2016 were listed as "not in operation," although a few cases involved food trucks that either started late or went out of business in the middle of the year. Inspectors didn't record any attempted inspections for a couple of other licensed food trucks.
Taken together, these numbers seem dramatic. Aren't there regulations for this sort of thing? Here's the kicker: Minnesota health codes don't specify how often food trucks should be inspected.
"The biggest reason is the transient nature of the business," according to Steven Diaz, the manager of the Food, Pools and Lodging Services Section for the Minnesota Department of Health. He added that food trucks have been exempt from annual inspections requirements for several decades.
Diaz emphasized that food trucks should still be inspected, the state just doesn't say how often. Minneapolis aims to inspect every food truck every year, but it isn't succeeding.
"It's more of a judgment call on our part," Dan Huff, director of the city's Environmental Health division, said. "In order to protect public safety, how often do we inspect them based on our current resources and our capacity?"
Surprise health inspections by the city can happen at any time of year. For restaurants, this works just fine. As long as the inspector isn't visiting on a holiday or outside business hours, the restaurant will most likely be serving food. The short food truck season, however, complicates matters.
Minneapolis' current approach to food truck inspections should mean the trucks with the highest traffic get inspected, but there's no way to be sure if that's really happening. It's possible that other licensed trucks are operating at high volume and inspectors just aren't finding them during the peak months.
Minnesota sets inspection schedules based on risk. For example, stores that only offer prepackaged food products aren't considered to be very risky — they must be inspected at least once every two years, according to Huff. Brick-and-mortar restaurants, serving fresh food prepared from raw ingredients, are riskier and must be inspected annually.
After that, priorities are set based on community impact, customer needs and the resources available to the health department, Huff said.
Staffing is one challenge. The city has 19 staffers who inspect more than 5,000 facilities, according to Huff. That number includes restaurants, hotels and pools. Some facilities even have multiple licenses to inspect, like U.S. Bank Stadium, which has about 150 licensed operations inside.
When accounting for just food inspections, the workload equals 638 inspections per person. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends one inspector for every 280 to 320 inspections.
"We're stretched pretty thin," Huff said. However, all inspector positions are filled, and the city has some extra staff working from this fall through the Super Bowl in February.
The Health Department has asked for money in the city's 2018 budget for three new full-time employees, at a total cost of $110,000 per employee.
The department says the additional inspectors are needed to keep up with the rising number of establishments, of all types, that need to be inspected each year.
The growing number of food trucks is just part of that. When the city began regulating food trucks in 2010, it issued 10 licenses. This year there were 143. The jump from 2016 to 2017 was the largest annual net increase in the eight years of the program.
"Some years are stagnant, and some years we have a boom," Amy Lingo, district supervisor of business licensing for Minneapolis, said. "This year was a big one."
Outside of Minneapolis, other food trucks are either inspected by the Minnesota Department of Health or one of about 30 other local communities that, like Minneapolis, have authority to enforce state health codes. Trucks in St. Paul are inspected by the state health department because the city lost its authority in 2012 when performance reviews showed it had not been keeping up its obligations.
Diaz, of the state health department, said because the state sends inspectors to most festivals, fairs or events that have eight or more food trucks, he believes that most high-volume food trucks monitored by the state were being inspected more than once a year. The Star Tribune has not yet requested the state's inspection data.
