Like many articles in The Chronicle, this one begins at a public meeting. But unlike any others, it ends in a partially burned woods at Argo Nature Area, where a crew clad in yellow fire-retardant suits kicked up puffs of smoke as they strode through the ashes of their work.
On the path from one to the other, we learned about sling psychrometers, drip torches, council rakes and what kind of leaves burn best. Our guides were the staff and volunteers of Ann Arbor's Natural Area Preservation program, who will be wrapping up the spring burn season later this month.
We first got an overview of the city's controlled burn program from NAP's manager, Dave Borneman, who made a presentation about it at the February meeting of the Ann Arbor park advisory commission. He described the ecological rationale behind a burn, citing the benefits it brings by controlling invasive species and rejuvenating the land.
As it turns out, Borneman was also the "burn boss" when we tagged along on a burn last Friday – the first one done by NAP in Argo's lowland area.
But the day for the crew began at their offices in the Leslie Science & Nature Center building, on Traver Road – so that's where we'll start, too.
Will Today Be a Burn Day?
Because of consistently dry weather – a trend that's been disrupted this week – this spring has been a remarkably good one for controlled burns. The last week of March and the early days of April leading into Easter weekend were shaping up to continue the streak – on April 1, dozens of spectators showed up for the popular annual burn at the Buhr Park Children's Wet Meadow, which went well.
By Friday, though, as the NAP staff gathered for their morning meeting, the National Weather Service had issued a "red flag warning" for southeast Michigan – an indicator of "critical fire weather conditions." And because dry, hot weather made the spread of fire a risk, the state's Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment stopped issuing burn permits.
NAP has a blanket permit for its controlled burns from Ann Arbor's fire marshal, covering the spring and fall seasons. Even so, the fire marshal gets to make the call on any given day – checking in with the fire marshal is part of NAP's protocol before doing a controlled burn. On Friday, there was a period of uncertainty, as the burn crew waited to hear back about whether they'd be allowed to proceed.
Uncertainty is part of the drill. Even if the weather forecast looks solid, conditions might change overnight. So the burn/no burn decision is made in the morning, following a series of checkpoints made by staff.
On Friday, Tina Roselle walked The Chronicle through some of those checks from NAP's second floor offices in Dr. Leslie's old homestead, where the Leslie Science & Nature Center is also located.
A weather kit, including this chart to help calculate on-site humidity, gets packed for the burn crew to take out into the field.
Medical forms and sign-in sheets for volunteers.
A red cloth pouch with several tools for checking the weather, including a Kestrel 3000 wind meter, a compass to identify wind direction, and a sling psychrometer to measure humidity on site.
Roselle also checks a range of weather conditions so that the crew can know what to expect out in the field. She calls a number at the Ann Arbor municipal airport – 734-668-7173 – that gives a recording of wind speed and direction, temperature and other conditions specific to the city. She prints out a report from the National Weather Service website for the Ann Arbor area – the site includes hourly forecasts for humidity, precipitation, wind gusts and other measures.
Wind speed and direction are important, as those indicate how the fire might burn, and how smoke from the burn might affect surrounding areas. Those conditions factor into the selection of the burn site on any given day.
Humidity is another factor, because it generally predicts the dryness of the oak leaf "litter" or grasses, which fuel the burns. Since humidity is typically lowest around midday, most of the burns begin at noon.
Part of Roselle's job can't be done until the burn crew emerges from their morning meeting, where they discuss which sites to tackle out of a master list that's been compiled for the season. Depending on weather conditions, the number of people available and the size of the burn sites, up to six locations might be handled in a day. Typically, though, the crew usually tackles one or two larger sites.
On Friday, there was just one burn – at Argo. So Roselle pulls a "burn prescription" for that location. These extremely detailed reports are prepared for each potential site in advance by NAP staff, with some information to be completed on the morning of the burn. Essentially it's a how-to sheet, listing the location of the site, how to get there, who owns it, where the nearest water source is, and who needs to be notified about the burn – including a list of contact information. It also includes burn objectives – in the case of Argo Nature Area, the main goal is to kill garlic mustard, an invasive plant species.
1) Conduct burn when atmospheric conditions allow for maximum lifting, mixing and transportation.
2) Create burn breaks around dead snags, chimney trees, stumps, logs brush piles to prevent burning.
3) Attempt to have the burn and mop-up completed prior to rush hour traffic.
4) Make sure nothing is left smoldering when we leave the site.
5) Schedule burn during weekdays when fewer people on-site or in nearby homes.
It takes at least an hour – usually more – to make all the contacts, Roselle says.
Meanwhile, other NAP workers are getting together equipment and supplies for the day. On Friday, we found Steven Parrish in a basement workshop, sharpening tools. He nicked his finger on a pulaski, a combination axe and mattock. "I did a good job sharpening that," he deadpans, sucking on the blood.
Steven Parrish, a conservation worker with the city's Natural Area Preservation program, sharpens a pulaski that will be used in a controlled burn.
Shovels, picks, council rakes, chainsaws, two-way radios – all manner of tools and equipment are stacked in this basement storage area, where lockers for the crew are also located. The lockers are used to store each person's burn crew suit, issued for the season – either a one-piece jumpsuit or pants and a jacket, made of heavy yellow fire-retardant material. In the same way that the brand name Kleenex has taken on a generic meaning, the suits are called Nomex – a brand name that's commonly used to refer to any fire-retardant suit. (And unless they get particularly nasty, the suits are washed only at the end of the burn season.) Each crew member also has a yellow helmet with plexiglass visor – on the front, their name is written in large letters on yellow duct tape.
Part of the prep work includes making sure all the equipment is ready, Parrish says. In addition to sharpening tools, he's already repaired the metal frame on a backpack that holds a metal water tank.
Most of the other half-dozen workers are elsewhere on the grounds. Some have gone to the nearby Leslie Park Golf Course to fill up the tank on the water truck. Others are loading a large red trailer – among its contents are several signs that will later be placed on roads around the area of a burn, to alert residents and drivers who might spot the smoke. The trailer also holds orange road cones, leaf blowers used to create a break around the perimeter of the burn, blue plastic tubs filled with fire-retardant suits in an assortment of sizes for volunteers, and a hodge-podge of tools.
Robb Johnston, a NAP conservation worker, loads canisters of fuel for the day's controlled burn.
Up the hill, Robb Johnston has driven a pickup truck to a storage shed and is hoisting five-gallon red and blue metal canisters of fuel into the truckbed. The crew uses fuel for its chainsaws and for pumps on the water trucks.
He's also loaded 11 drip torches – smaller canisters with long nozzles that are carried by the burn crew and used to light the fires. The drip torches are filled with a cocktail of kerosene and gasoline in a four-to-one ratio – instructions for the mix are scrawled in marker on the inside of the shed. Johnston explains that kerosene makes for a sustained burn, mellowing out the more explosive gasoline. Explosiveness on a controlled burn is not good.
By 11:30 a.m., a pickup truck with NAP's distinctive red trailer is already parked in the lot near the entrance to the nature area. Laura Mueller has opened the trailer door and unloaded the blue plastic tubs with gear for volunteers, along with several of the water-tank backpacks and a tub of snacks.
In part because of the Good Friday holiday, there's a fair amount of activity – kids playing across the road in Longshore Park, joggers, dog-walkers, fishermen, people driving in and unloading their canoes and kayaks. A couple of geese waddle along the shore, honking. Across the Huron River, an Amtrak train rolls by.
A sign is already posted at the head of the trail where you enter the woods, stating that the nature area is closed. Throughout the afternoon, this is routinely ignored – and that's pretty typical, according to the burn crew. When working in the urban parks, it's common for people to go through a burn site, and there's not much the staff can do about it.
Volunteers for the controlled burn get into their gear in the parking lot next to the Argo Nature Area.
Volunteers begin to arrive. The first is Gracie Holliday, an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. She's been a NAP volunteer for other projects, but aside from the training that all volunteers must complete, this is her first burn. A petite woman, she roots through the tub marked "S" to find some gear that fits – sort of.
By noon, about a half-dozen other volunteers have arrived, coming by bike, motorcycle and car. They also gear up, though at least one man – Jim Hope, who's also a firefighter – wears his own suit. In general, volunteers are asked to wear their own leather boots, but are provided everything else, including well-worn leather gloves and two-way radios that are clipped to the front of their jackets. They pass around a clipboard to sign in. Some have brought their own lunch, but others grab a snack from the tub provided by NAP. Amanda Nimke passes out clementines.
Dave Borneman shows up – he's parked the burn trailer for his private business in a parking lot down the road. He's the "burn boss" for the day, and consults with Lara Treemore-Spears, a NAP technician who's also supervising the site. Other staff prepare the drip torches, fill water tanks, and help volunteers get into their gear. A couple of kayakers ask Mueller to take a photo of them before launching their craft into Argo Pond – she obliges.
Staff and volunteers get briefed on the upcoming burn, standing in the parking lot at the Argo Nature Area.
About a dozen people – staff and volunteers – are in their full gear when Borneman asks everyone to huddle up. They form a circle, and make introductions. Borneman passes out maps of the area, and talks about conditions for the day – it's dry, he says, with high temperatures and wind creating a greater chance for fires to start and spread, "which is why we're not in a cattail field." He clarifies that there's not a burn ban in effect, and that the fire marshal has given the go-ahead for their work. Even so, Borneman says he wouldn't be surprised to see a fire truck cruise by during the afternoon. "We're going to avoid every opportunity for them to shut us down," he says.
Borneman notes that two people from NAP's staff will be driving around the neighborhood, monitoring smoke. Smoke monitoring will be especially important today, he says: Because of the holiday, more people will likely be at home and outside, and because the weather's nice, homes in the area are more likely to have their windows open. He notes that the gray overcast sky works to their advantage, masking the visible signs of smoke so that residents won't get concerned.
Borneman tells volunteers that they've never done a controlled burn in the lowland area of the Argo Nature Area, and he included a bit of a pep talk: "It's going to be a great burn day!" He cautioned them to try to burn around the patches of trout lilies, bloodroot and other wildflowers they find. This is done by dousing the flowers with water just prior to the burn. It's an effective strategy.
In wrapping up, Borneman urges the volunteers to make sure they drank plenty of water – everyone needed to carry a water bottle. When they return to the base to refill the water tanks on their backpacks, he said, be sure to grab something to eat as well. "Expect to be really hot and tired and sweaty," he said.
They then quickly divy up tasks. Four volunteers are chosen to ignite the fires with drip torches – this seemed to be a coveted job, and volunteers were picked who hadn't done any igniting recently, or in the case of Holliday, ever.
Parrish gives an on-site weather report, which would be updated every hour: 72 degrees, with relative humidity at 45% and wind from the south. Borneman does a radio check, making each person could receive and transmit clearly.
And with that, they flip down their visors and get to work.
Volunteer Jim Hope fills the water tank on his backpack. The tank on the truck holds 300 gallons. The tank on the backpack holds four gallons – with a full water tank, each backpack weighs about 40 pounds.
Burn crew members Laura Mueller and Robb Johnston prepare drip torches for the controlled burn.
Two kayakers asked Laura Mueller to take a photo of them before launching into Argo Pond.
Amanda Nimke listens while Dave Borneman briefs the burn crew.
Two volunteers in fire gear spray water on the Argo Pond boardwalk, prior to burning the surrounding brush.
A volunteer hoses down the boardwalk during a controlled burn at Argo Nature Area.
Along the banks of Argo Pond, volunteer Gracie Holliday ignites some brush while NAP's Laura Mueller sprays water on the smoldering ashes.
In a slight blur of smoke from small burns along the edge of Argo Pond, crew members enter the woods at Argo Nature Area.
Burning gets underway in the Argo Nature Area woods. The fire in some parts of the woods didn't burn well, in part because there aren't many oak trees in the area. Oak leaves have a high oil content – when dry, they burn well.

Bloodroot survived the controlled burn. The crew doused patches of wildflowers with water, to prevent them from burning.
It is amazing that the City of Ann Arbor will pay people to set fire to their parks but doesn't want to pay people to put out fires in their buildings. No wonder AA is the laughing stock of surrounding communities. How may other communities in S.E. Michigan pay people to burn up their parks?
Dude… You pay for them to burn the parks. They are millage funded, which means that the tax payers have voted to tax themselves to pay for this. This is why the natural areas in AA are so sweet. We have a community who understands environmental/ecological issues enough to pay for the health of these places. And I'm not sure, but I'm guessing those people get paid a fraction of what the fire department does. Maybe someone could find out. I would guess its many of millions, to less than a million.
Check yourself before you wreck our town.
Most of these people are volunteers, so the cost to run this program is small in comparison to your police and fire departments. I am sorry that you have such disdain for maintaining a diverse and healthy natural environment, johnboy.
Thanks for an article that points out the hard work that goes into keeping natural areas, well, natural. Ann Arbor Natural Areas Program has an admirable and well deserved reputation for stewardship on the lands they manage.
The article does a great job of describing the details of the burn process. It would be great to do a follow up article describing the reasons for controlled burning: control of invasive species, and the results of such work. Retaining our native species diversity of plants, insects, birds and mammals is key, and information from our local experts will be a great contribution to community understanding and support of the NAP. The burn efforts help reduce buckthorn, garlic mustard, honeysuckle, and other invasives that ultimately crowd out our beautiful native plants (such as the bloodroot pictured). Maintaining diverse plant life supports native insects and wildlife, our unique heritage and environment.
I would like to point out that NAP does many other things with the money that the taxpayers have voted to give them. Most of the things they do fall under the category of ecological restoration, such as herbaceous invasives removal, brush removal, prescribed burning, and monitoring of vegetation and wildlife in the parks. In addition, they remove trees over trail, do trail maintenance and construction, locate hazard trees for the forestry department to remove, and lead educational programs. While doing all of this, they leverage a small, mostly temporary seasonal staff, with many many hours of volunteer help. While some people may not agree with the ecological importance of our city parks, NAP is also responsible for upkeep and access to all city 'natural areas', basically any city park portion that's not mowed. And I feel that it's totally worth it to have many beautiful places to bike, walk, and run in.
It's cool; it's what the native Americans did to keep the underbrush down and more walkable as well as better for hunting, they kept this area looking like a prairie park with big oaks I was taught.
Dude – The NAP division is a waste of tax dollars. It has nothing to do with keeping out parks natural or preserved. It is just there to follow the latest eco-fad in a very trendy and fad oriented town. The only true "invasive species" is the two legged one that goes into our parks and plays God by tearing out non-politically correct plants and then setting fire to what is left.
If you want natural parks then STAY OUT of the parks. Mother nature can restore a park all by herself. Just leave her alone. Please explain to me how pulling up dozens of non-PC plants increases diversity. IT IS NATURAL for a specific species of plant to dominate an area that is favorable to it's growth requirements. Undergrowth is NATURAL. Burning it off is UNNATURAL.
Many of the so called "invasive species" were actually brought over here from other continents to increase our diversity. You don't increase diversity by eliminating species.
OK, OK, as much as it hurts, I'll have to admit NAP DOES some good things like monitoring and recording vegetation and wildlife also trail maintenance. But I wish they would stick to the really constructive programs and stay away from eco-fads.
Clearly anybody who took Biology 101 would learn a great deal about the proper use of tax dollars. Um, yeah.
I think you should do a little experiment. Bring a little Garlic Mustard into your back yard, into your prized garden bed, let it 'naturalize', and then tell me how much more 'diversity' you have in 5 years. After 15 years, when your neighborhood flora has been destroyed by this "non-PC plant" and all the butterflies and birds you used to like are gone, I will come over and help you remove the mustard from your hood and begin the healing process.
Speaking as someone who studying ecology and has worked in the field, I can tell you there is a good reason that invasive species are compared to cancer. And not something like prostate cancer. More like a metastatic melanoma. They spread, they spread fast, and if you don't catch it (them) early, it is next to impossible to get rid of them.
More species at any given moment does not equal more diversity.
And yes, us Bi-peds are a fine example. There indeed are too many of us. But it is our hands off approach to nature, thinking that we are outside of nature, that is causing most of the problems. We, as a culture, can't grasp that we are completely a part of what goes on outside, whether its habitat conversion to subdivision, the spread of aggressive non-native plants, or simply driving our cars too much.
You John-Boy, are part of the 'natural' processes that are taking place if you want to acknowledge it or not. You can make the decision to make a difference and defend our natural areas, or continue to use your Bio101 knowledge and let the world change for the worse, without your input. I hope you choose to learn more.
Anybody knowledgeable to speak to the CO2 greenhouse gases implications associated with burning?
What would be natural would be periodic, uncontrolled, spontaneous fires from lightning strikes or other sources. I don't want that in my neighborhood, so planned, controlled, low-level burns are a great alternative.
I'm not sure on the net CO2 impact, so I don't qualify as the "knowledgeable" voice that Pete asked for, but I wouldn't be surprised if these burns were carbon-negative due to increasing the growth of larger plants that store more carbon. Anyone know for sure?
Chuck is also correct that lightning strikes would be one way for "natural" burns to occur. In a given ecosystem, fires can occur at fairly regular intervals, and any resulting fires are generally "cool" fires. Many tree species have adapted to this pattern, and some, such as the Jack pine, are wholly fire dependant for reproduction. Our fire repression regime, on the other hand, allows brush build up so that when a fire eventually does happen, either through arson or more natural causes, the results are catostrophic (think the California wildfires of a couple years ago).
Finally, Johnboy clearly doesn't know his history very well. Far from being "eco-fads", controlled burns have been used by civilizations around the world for thousands of years. It's only been in the past hundred years or so that fire repression has become the norm, and anyone who has taken an advanced ecology course knows the benefits.

Police have worked today to secure and recover the body of a 32 year old male and a white Toyota Corolla vehicle on Paekakariki Hill Road. Early indications are that the injuries sustained are inconsistent with a vehicle crash so Police are treating the death as suspicious.
The body of the 32 year old male will be removed from the scene later this afternoon and a post mortem examination to confirm the injuries is likely to be completed tomorrow morning. The vehicle has now been removed and will undergo forensic examination by ESR scientists.
Kapiti-Mana Area Commander Inspector Paul Basham says "Police want to hear from anyone who has seen anything unusual in the Paekakariki Hill Road area since 10.00pm last night and 6.00am this morning. We are also urging anyone who has seen the white 1993 Toyota Corolla hatchback vehicle, registration RZ1852, anytime in the last 24 hours."
A scene examination will be continuing for the remainder of the day and the road is likely to be closed overnight and tomorrow morning.
Police and Victim Support are supporting the man's family and his name will not be released until the process of formally identifying the body is complete.
Anyone with information should cal1 04 381 2000 and ask for the Operation Vintage investigation team. Alternatively information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

It was yet another fantastic afternoon for the great Lionel Messi.
Barcelona faced their local rivals Espanyol at Camp Nou with the chance to temporarily extend their lead at the top of La Liga to 13 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, although things weren't exactly going La Blaugrana's way.
The home side were held for 70 minutes despite dominating proceedings, and it took a piece of brilliance from the magic man to break the deadlock. Messi had a free kick right on the edge of the area but rather than powering it into the top corner or curling the ball around the wall, he instead opted to chip the ball which seemed to bamboozle Espanyol goalkeeper Diego Lopez to make it 1-0.
The goal seemed to settle the Barcelona nerves and after a fine flowing move forward Messi doubled his and Barca's tally for the day with a neat finish to secure a 2-0 win and take his remarkable La Liga goal tally for the season to 31 goals in 27 appearances.
Not only was it a great performance from the forward but it was also a record-equalling day, as shown by Opta. The win was his 334th in La Liga in his career, which means he has now tied Iker Casillas for the most La Liga wins in history.
He'll have the chance to be the stand-alone leader in wins should Barcelona pick up another three points when they travel to face Villarreal on Tuesday night, and it likely won't be the last record he'll break in what has already been a phenomenal career for the 31-year-old.

OVERSIGHT: PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AGENCY IS A CHANGE AGENT.
Lagos State House of AssemblyMediaOVERSIGHT: PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AGENCY IS A CHANGE AGENT.
August 7, 2020 / By Ayoola Babalola-Etti / Media • Press Release/ 0 Comments
Lagos State House Committee on Public Procurement on Friday has established that the State Public Procurement Agency is a change agent in that, its establishment is to change the narrative and bring about reasonable compliance and alignment to budgetary provisions in all the three tiers of government in the State especially Ministries, Department and Agencies of government.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of the House Committee, Hon. Rauf Olawale Age-Sulaimon while asking the Agency's arrow head, the General Manager, Mr. Onafowote Fatai Idowu to brief the committee on their SWOT analysis, to include the journey so far and challenges.
Hon. Solaja Saka-Nurudeen, House Committee Chairman on Public Account-State, said "by now, you must have professionalise your staff; the core professionals must be there."
He also suggested that the Monitor of all MDAs must be robust with full details anchoring training and retraining of staff as this is paramount for maximum performance of the Agency.
In the submission of Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, the House Committee Chairman on Appropriation, he said the Agency should establish how staff can take professional examinations yearly so they can be more professional in discharging their duties as expected of professionals.
He referred to the Agency as the "Gate-Keeper" between the House of Assembly and others as regards budgets implementation.
In his response, the General Manager, Mr. Onafowote Fatai Idowu applauded the House for inviting them to an inaugural meeting which invariably gave the Agency the opportunity to gain from the Honourable Members wealth of experiences.
He however, promised to look inwards and make the Agency achievement robust.
In his concluding remarks, the Committee Chairman, Hon. Rauf Olawale Age-Sulaiman stressed that the Agency should do everything possible within the ambit of the Law to ensure that at any point or circumstance, every Procurement entity applies the principles of sound Procurement, economy, efficiency, transparency and accountability in their procedures. This according to him can only be achieved through what he called "two way communications ".


Industry may have successfully eliminated an effort by Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., to restrict companies' hiring of foreign professionals, but certain temporary worker provisions remain in a House bill that could lead to greater restrictions on hiring practices.
The renewed immigration reform efforts have been putting a chill down the spines of infotech developers who have long relied on a rich pool of Silicon Valley engineers of which one third are estimated to be foreign nationals. The impending battle is especially poignant for an industry whose leading companies often have been founded or are currently led by foreigners.
"The last thing I have in mind is to hinder American business or to prevent American universities from hiring outstanding professors. I'm trying to protect our own 'best and brightest' in the job market," Simpson told American business leaders.
"We all compete against one another for the best people, and we are all already having trouble making our hiring goals every year in terms of technical positions," said Jack Krumholtz, Microsoft Corp.'s manager of government affairs. Krumholtz said while Microsoft's foreign national employees are today involved in all aspects of the developer's business, the majority are recruited to fill positions inside research and development, of which 96 percent reside inside the United States.
The Computing Technology Industry Association recently added the plight of independent contractors to its list of grassroots initiatives. The group is now lobbying for the passage of a bill introduced by Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., and Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla. The bill seeks to replace the IRS test with a simpler approach. CompTIA will hold its annual Federal Technology Policy Conference in Washington June 26 and 27. The conference kicks off with an address from William Montalato, general counsel, House Small Business Committee.
House Democrat Anna Eshoo, who represents California's 14th congressional district known as Silicon Valley, is sounding off again about the Clinton administration's encryption policy. In a recent editorial she wrote, "The administration has responded to this situation with a proposal that is inadequate at best.... Few foreign consumers are going to buy American encryption software that's compromised by our government. Without stringent safeguards, the administration plan opens the door to potential government violations of personal privacy. And it ignores the fact that foreign encryption programs without key escrow requirements are already widely available. "


Later this year, Bell's CraveTV streaming platform will be included with all 'The Movie Network + HBO Canada' packages at no additional cost, regardless of television provider.
The new offer will begin on November 1st with Rogers. The carrier advises customers that already subscribe to CraveTV service separately, but also have a TMN + HBO package, to cancel their subscriptions to the Bell-owned streaming platform before this date.
Rogers says TMN + HBO package customers will automatically be given access to CraveTV on November 1st, meaning there will be no need to contact the carrier to add the service. This will likely be the case with other television providers, including Vidéotron, Cogeco, Sasktel and more.
Current CraveTV user preferences and watchlists will not carry over. Customers will instead be required to enter their Rogers customer log-in information to access the CraveTV app.
Rogers says it will reveal more details on how to access CraveTV content on November 1st. Given that CraveTV is a Bell Media-owned property, this is an interesting move on the carriers' part.
Rogers shuttered Shomi, the company's streaming service partnership with Shaw, back in September of 2016. Through Rogers, TMN + HBO packages cost $19.95 CAD on top of the price of a digital cable plan. The first four months are offered at 50 percent off, coming in at $9.95. Pricing for TMN GO + HBO packages varies between television providers.
Unlike streaming video platforms like HBO Now in the United States, the Warner Media-owned premium content platform is not available untethered from a traditional cable subscription in Canada.
Update 10/02/2018: Story has been updated to reflect that CraveTV will be available through all television providers that offer TMN GO + HBO packages and not just Rogers.


Minutes of the Centerville City Council meeting held Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at Centerville City Hall, 250 North Main Street, Centerville, Utah.
The minutes of the September 1, 2015 Council meeting were reviewed. Councilwoman Fillmore requested an addition to the minutes. Councilman Wright made a motion to accept the minutes as amended. Councilman Averett seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
Steve Thacker, City Manager, answered questions regarding the street sweeping bid. Councilwoman Fillmore suggested the City explore the possibility of cost saving by contracting with a neighboring city, as previously suggested by Councilman Higginson. Councilman Higginson agreed to discuss the possibility with Bountiful representatives, and made a motion to accept both items on the Summary Action Calendar. Councilwoman Fillmore seconded the motion. Councilman Wright suggested the street sweeping contract include quality control and recourse for the City if the work performed is not deemed complete or sufficient. Mr. Thacker agreed to discuss quality control with the Public Works Department. The motion passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
On August 26, 2015, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended for approval certain amendments to the Planned Development Overlay Approval and Conceptual Plan for the Legacy Trail Apartments planned development for the purpose of allowing alternative commercial architectural design. Cory Snyder, Community Development Director, explained the request to allow a flat roof alternative for the commercial component. Councilman Averett stated he feels the request makes sense from a commercial standpoint.
At 7:22 p.m. Mayor Cutler opened a public hearing, and closed the public hearing seeing that no one wished to comment. Councilman Averett made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 2015-20 amending the PDO and Conceptual Plan for the Legacy Trail Apartments planned development located at approximately 1250 West Parrish Lane, for the purpose of allowing alternative commercial architectural design, with the following findings. Councilwoman Ivie seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
a) The Council finds that amendments to a PDO approval are subject to the original procedure used for obtaining a preliminary approval.
c) The Council finds that Section 12-41-070 allows for "variations from development standards" from both the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.
d) The Council finds that allowing an alternative commercial design plan facilitates the screening of needed utility and equipment for service to buildings.
e) The Council finds that the conditions of approval of the Alternative Commercial Design Plan are consistent and compatible with the originally approved Architectural Design Plan of the Legacy Trails Development.
Karl Hendrickson, Attorney for the South Davis Metro Fire Agency, explained that following the public hearing a 60-day protest period would commence, during which any registered voter living in Centerville, or any owner of property within Centerville, may file a written protest regarding creation of a fire district with the City Recorder prior to the end of business on November 16, 2015. The levels of protest required to block creation of a district are 25% of the number of votes cast within the City at the last Presidential Election, or protest of property owners representing at least 25% of the private land area within Centerville, representing at least 15% of the total land area assessed valuation. Fire Chief Bassett reported that open houses were held at the fire stations during Fire Prevention Week, in addition to the open house held at City Hall prior to the Council meeting. He gave a brief history of the South Davis Metro Fire Agency (SDMFA) and explained the original intention to create an independent district within five years of creation of the SDMFA. The current movement toward creating a district has been driven by the inability of the SDMFA to obtain financing to meet considerable capital needs.
At 7:32 p.m. Mayor Cutler opened a public hearing.
David Youngberg, Centerville – Mr. Youngberg asked if creation of an independent taxing district is a common method of financing fire services. Mr. Hendrickson responded that there are several fire districts within the State. Chief Bassett added that the concept of combining municipal fire departments to provide better service is common. Mr. Youngberg asked what would happen if one of the cities involved votes against a district. Mayor Cutler responded that all mayors involved have agreed that creation of a district needs to be done in a unified manner. Mr. Hendrickson added that if there is sufficient protest within a city to block creation, the remaining entities could proceed with creating a district, and the city that opted out could contract with the district for fire services. Mr. Thacker pointed out that, because the opted-out city would not have a district tax levy imposed, the city's annual assessment would have to include their part of the debt service. Mr. Youngberg asked the Mayor, as Centerville's representative, to make sure this is the best means of financing fire services to ensure a continued high level of service. The Mayor thanked Mr. Youngberg, and stated that a number of options were explored by the Board, with an independent taxing district being determined as the best alternative to benefit all equally.
Dan Loewen, Centerville – Mr. Loewen asked for further explanation regarding the Agency's inability to bond. Mr. Hendrickson responded that part of the difficulty with interlocal entities is that every participant can depart when they wish, and every participant's contribution is subject to having funds to appropriate, raising the level of risk to the point that banks are not willing to finance. A district, with ongoing taxing ability, can better guarantee payment of debt over time.
Michelle Morris, Centerville – Ms. Morris asked the Council to support creation of a fire district. She expressed that Centerville has put a lot of time and resources into emergency preparedness, and being able to support fire services is at the top of the list.
Dale McIntyre, Centerville – Mr. McIntyre asked what percentage savings would have been obtained if the SDMFA had been able to refinance. Chief Bassett responded that it would depend on the interest rate. The bond is financed at just over 4%. When refinancing was considered a few years ago the interest rate was around 2%, which would have provided significant savings. The current balance of the bond is approximately $3.4 million. Mr. Thacker clarified that the anticipated bond issue would not occur for almost two years, and it would include refinancing the existing debt only if the interest rate is favorable.
The Mayor closed the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Mr. Hendricks repeated that protests must be submitted in writing to the City Recorder by registered voters living in Centerville or owners of property within Centerville prior to end of business on November 16, 2015. Councilman Wright stated that he wants citizens to understand that if a district is created they would no longer have protest capability. Mr. Hendrickson responded that the statute is silent regarding referendum, but he thinks, in all likelihood, that a referendum would be possible, based on his analysis of cases out of the Utah Supreme Court. Councilman Wright pointed out that protest after creation of a district would require 25% of the entire district, compared to 25% of each individual city during the protest period.
Assessments to the cities would continue following creation of an independent district. Councilman Wright expressed his desire to ensure that citizens are not taxed twice for fire services, and stated he would like to reduce property tax on the City's end as much as possible, recognizing that levies from the district would continue to increase over time. For the benefit of everyone present, Mayor Cutler explained that the City would reduce property taxes in the initial year to keep the impact cost-neutral for citizens. The levy would be increased in subsequent years to meet capital needs and to pay the portion of existing debt that cannot be paid by impact fees. The expected levy increase after the initial year is currently estimated at $13-$14 per year for an average home in Centerville. Mayor Cutler stated that the issue was discussed within the Fire Board, and a majority of the cities wanted the levy to start out small. Mr. Thacker stated that cities could decide to reduce taxes in future years to compensate for increased levies, but the ability to pay city fire assessments would also reduce. Councilman Wright stated that he supports funding fire services and the need to be able to respond to any kind of emergency, but he is concerned about how the taxes are structured.
Councilman Averett asked about the costs to the SDMFA associated with the protest period. Mr. Hendrickson responded that if protest levels are sufficient to terminate the process, the process is terminated for at least two years. Mayor Cutler stated that the County is considering not joining the district, with the intention to contract with the district for fire services. The County (and any city that does not join) would not have a seat on the Board, and would be responsible to pay its share of existing debt up front. Mr. Hendrickson also pointed out that the capital needs of any non-member entity may not be included in a future bond issue. Centerville's portion of the existing debt is approximately $700,000. Councilwoman Fillmore pointed out that a majority of the SDMFA's current capital needs are associated with Centerville, and if Centerville were to opt out, the capital needs costs would possibly not be covered by the district. Councilwoman Ivie commented that the City would begin the new situation without a fire station and fire trucks. The Council appeared to be in agreement that it would be beneficial for Centerville to participate in the proposed district. Councilman Wright suggested that a volunteer Fire Corps could be beneficial, and stated he feels a drone would be a good investment.
Mr. Thacker described discussions and steps taken over the last two years regarding the City's deer problem. The Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) now has the ability to assist municipalities with deer problems, provided the feeding or attracting of deer, moose, and elk is prohibited. Bruce Cox, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that 39 email comments and 22 in-person comments were received by the City. Fifty-five of those comments represent citizens having issues or problems with urban deer. Five of the remaining comments expressed a desire to not take any action. The concerns voiced by citizens primarily related to nuisance issues, damage to gardens and landscaping, and safety concerns. Many comments expressed that deer problems are increasingly getting worse and have become severe in the last few years. Mr. Cox said he feels the citizens who commented in favor of not taking action may not understand that the problem is not seasonal - the animals remain in the City year-round.
At 8:12 p.m. Mayor Cutler opened a public hearing.
Dale McIntyre, Centerville – Mr. McIntyre stated that a group of deer living a block away from his home on 200 South frequently eat from his garden. He read aloud a portion of the proposed Ordinance, and asked if, as a licensed bee keeper with many plants that are attractive to bees, he will be required to remove the plants that might also attract deer. Councilman Wright emphasized the need to be specific regarding what constitutes intentionally attracting deer. Mr. McIntyre related an experience regarding a dead deer in his neighborhood last year.
Todd Jones, Centerville – Mr. Jones asked if there is any way to resolve the problem without involving the DWR. Councilwoman Ivie responded that the DWR owns all deer within the State, and any control attempts must involve the DWR. Mr. Jones stated he dislikes laws or ordinances that do not have teeth, and asked if the Council really wants police officers to go around writing "feeding deer" tickets. He asked if the DWR has given any indication of what would happen as far as natural selection goes if the city were to experience a heavy winter rather than the recent mild winters.
Ms. Romney commented that enforcement of the proposed Ordinance would most likely be pursued under the City's civil enforcement procedures, but could also be enforced as a criminal violation. Councilman Wright stated he feels the Ordinance should be specific regarding what is considered "intentional" feeding of deer.
The Mayor closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. Councilman Averett disagreed with Councilman Wright stating that he approves of the existing language, and feels common sense should be allowed to prevail. He also pointed out that code enforcement in Centerville is complaint driven; the Council is not going to direct the Police Chief to have police officers go door to door and search citizens' yards. Councilman Wright responded he feels that laws should be as specific as possible to prevent subjective interpretation.
The Council discussed specific language in proposed Ordinance No. 2015-17 as well as what constitutes responsible feeding of birds, and directed staff to make desired changes to the Ordinance. Councilman Wright made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2015-17 as amended by the Council, including the following finding. Councilwoman Ivie seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0).
a) The Council finds that the urban deer situation is causing significant damage to property and causing concern for public safety within the community.
Councilman Wright suggested that the sportsmen involved be allowed to retain the meat. Mayor Cutler suggested allowing staff to work with the DWR to put together a recommendation. Councilman Wright made a motion to direct staff to apply for a Certificate of Registration with the DWR to initiate the process of preparing an urban deer control plan. Councilman Higginson seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0). Councilman Wright thanked Mr. Thacker for taking the lead on this issue, and thanked the Mayor for allowing the public to comment prior to taking action.
The Council took a break at 8:36 p.m., returning at 8:44 p.m.
Mr. Thacker updated the Council regarding the Pedestrian Bridge Project, explaining that the proposed fencing satisfies wind-load requirements, but does not meet AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) live-load standards, rendering the Betterment Agreement between the City and UDOT void. Because the I-15 Project is a "design-build" contract, the contractor, not UDOT, is responsible for ensuring compliance with AASHTO standards. Mr. Thacker stated that UDOT has given the City the option to take over administration of the sidewalk project on the east side of the freeway as well as the bridge fencing project. UDOT would prefer to pay the City a lump sum for all of the work, including an administrative percentage, an engineering fee, and a contingency percentage. Mr. Thacker stated that staff does not want to enter into a contract accepting a lump sum without first bidding the project, a stipulation to which UDOT has agreed. Kevin Campbell, City Engineer, further clarified funding details, and stated that the City may be able to receive some savings for the fencing by bidding directly to the fencing companies. The sidewalk project and the fencing project would most likely have separate bids. Staff has the sidewalk project bid ready to advertise.
Councilman Wright made a motion to grant staff fast-track authority to move forward with the bid process for the east-side sidewalk project, with fence design issues to be presented to the Council. Councilwoman Ivie seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0). Mr. Thacker stated that at least 75% of the lump sum would be paid to the City up front. Councilwoman Fillmore expressed appreciation for UDOT's willingness to add active transportation elements to the I-15 project.
Mayor Cutler asked Council members Fillmore and Wright to work with Mr. Campbell to select fencing. Councilwoman Fillmore expressed the goal to obtain essentially the same fence design, compliant with AASHTO standards, within budget. Mr. Campbell added that the challenge will be finding a stock fence rather than a custom fence that is compliant with ASHTO standards and within budget.
At 9:06 p.m. Councilman Higginson made a motion to adjourn to a meeting of the Centerville Redevelopment Agency. Councilwoman Ivie seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (5-0). In attendance were: Paul A. Cutler, Chair; John T. Higginson, Vice Chair; Directors Averett, Fillmore, Ivie, and Wright; Steve Thacker, Executive Director; Lisa Romney, City Attorney; Jacob Smith, Management Assistant; and Katie Rust, Recording Secretary.
The Council returned to regular meeting at 10:05 p.m., at which time Councilman Averett left the meeting.
Following discussion, the Council agreed to proceed with the Grassli Group for professional landscape architect services for a design plan for the Founders Park west end, with initial funds ($1,000) to be drawn from the Parks Budget.
The Council reviewed the financial report for the period ending August 31, 2015.
Mayor Cutler reported that Centerville now has a UTOPIA/UIA take-rate of almost 30%, with over 1,300 subscribers. He commented that the subscriber base in Tremonton significantly increased after the Tremonton City Council placed information about UTOPIA in a few utility mailers. The Mayor stated he has asked UTOPIA to put together a possible insert for a future Centerville utility mailer. The UIA Board intends to move forward with issuing bonds in the amount of approximately $26 million. The interest rate will be similar to bond rates received by the UIA in the past. Mayor Cutler stated he is optimistic that city assessments will end. He stated he does not anticipate any continuing relationship between UTOPIA and Macquarie. The Council asked Mayor Cutler to find out whether any bills from Macquarie were issued and paid by UTOPIA, and whether Centerville was ever charged by UTOPIA for Phase One. Neither entity has formally cancelled the existing relationship.
Mr. Thacker stated he will send two articles he will draft for the newsletter regarding the Parks Capital Improvement Plan and the Street Maintenance Plan to the Council for review.
The TZRO in place on Main Street will expire in November 2015. The Planning Commission is scheduled to review the proposed Public Space Plan in September, with the anticipation that the Plan will be presented to the Council in October, along with other recommended edits to the South Main Street Corridor overlay zone ordinance.
At 10:29 p.m. Councilman Wright made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Councilwoman Ivie seconded the motion, which passed by unanimous vote (4-0).

Q: Moment JS not saving in utc time and then not returning local I'm having some trouble with my time recording function of my app..
So I have a button that basically says start and that calls a function to store the time the button was pressed in utc time like so..
this.startTime = moment().utc();

now If I console.log(this.startTime) I get this..
Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _isUTC: true, _pf: {…}, _locale: Locale, _d:
Tue Oct 09 2018 10:14:01 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time), …}
_d: Tue Oct 09 2018 10:14:01 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) {}
_isAMomentObject: true
_isUTC: true
_isValid: true
...

so it says UTC is true, but the time is 10:14 Australian Eastern Daylight Time, shouldnt this of been converted to the UTC time??
Now when I call another function that gets the time that was stored I get the correct UTC time but in Australian Eastern Daylight Time
let startTime = moment(startTime);

what I get returned is
_a: (7) [2018, 9, 8, 23, 5, 32, 774]
_d: Mon Oct 08 2018 23:05:32 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) {}
_f: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSS"
_i: "2018-10-08T23:05:32.774"
_isAMomentObject: true
_isUTC: [ZoneTask]
_isValid: true
...

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..
EDIT
if I console.log(moment.utc().format()) I get this date string
2018-10-08T23:54:23Z
but If I console.log(moment.utc()) I get this date object
Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _isUTC: true, _pf: {…}, _locale: Locale, _d:
Tue Oct 09 2018 10:56:56 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time), …}
_d: Tue Oct 09 2018 10:56:56 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) {}
_isAMomentObject: true
_isUTC: true
_isValid: true
...

A: When I run Moment 2.22.2 in Node.js using:
var startTime = moment.utc()
console.log(startTime);
// Returns moment.utc("2018-10-08T23:36:43.363+00:00")
console.log(moment(startTime));
// Returns moment.utc("2018-10-08T23:36:43.363+00:00")
console.log(moment(startTime).format());
// Returns 2018-10-08T23:45:43Z

Since moment returns an instance of itself you need to format your responses to a plain string using the format() method.

We want Dallas! We want Dallas!
It's "Dallas Week" in Washington, which is a one-week celebration, twice each year when the Redskins play the Cowboys. I despise the Cowboys and everything about them. I don't care who Tony Romo is dating this week. I don't care how wonderful Terrell Owens¹ is. I don't care how this season ranks in the history of seasons in Dallas history. There's one story line for me: win and we're in the playoffs.
Obviously there are multiple reasons why this is improbable. Sean Taylor's death is the largest and longest lingering, of course. The franchise will never be the same. But there's also the injuries, starting with half the offensive line, and concluding with the loss of quarterback Jason Campbell. Yet, we're still in position to make the playoffs. For me, there's one specific reason: Joe Gibbs.
Throughout our recent struggles, many focused on Coach Gibbs' mistakes. The complaints are valid. But no one is perfect. The point is not that the coach must do everything right. He must be the best person for the job. And Coach Gibbs' leadership through adversity demonstrates why he's a Hall of Famer and why he's still the right man for his job. I will make no calls for his dismissal, now or in the future.
Former Redskin Doc Walker makes the case, via Michael Wilbon's column:
"They lost the guys who were supposed to be the right side of the offensive line, Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas, essentially for the entire season. Shawn Springs's father is in a coma and he's traveling back and forth to see his dad. You've got a free agent rookie [Stephon Heyer] starting at right guard. You've got the whole team flying to a funeral and playing the Bears three days later. You've got your franchise quarterback going down in that very game, then you've got the backup quarterback's wife giving birth . . . on the eve of his first start in 10 years, then coming out and going 0 for 8 but steadying himself to win the game. It's a movie. We can't imagine how difficult it is to manage all that. But Joe knows how to manage in the chaos. Go all the way back to his 0-5 start in his very first season as head coach. That was so chaotic. But he believed. Even if you don't believe initially, he does. And he just doesn't waver."
I've always believed. Watching him coach through his first tenure made me understand how important it is to not waver in my trust in him. When he took over, the franchise was a mess. We couldn't win, we had no stability, and the pride in being a Redskin had disappeared. We're still struggling at times on the first count due to Campbell's inexperience, although we're going in the right direction. On the latter two points, there can be no debate that Coach Gibbs has brought those two back to Washington. I'd vote for him for president, if he ran. I'd write his name in next November, except his winning would mean he wouldn't be head coach of the Redskins any longer. He could do both, though.
In the cruelest misfortune of the week, I had tickets to today's game. I planned to take my younger brother to the game, his first NFL experience. But I've picked up some nasty cold that is not conducive to sitting in rainy 40-degree weather. This team is worth getting sicker for, but I want to be healthy for next week's showdown with the Seahawks in the playoffs.
If we win, of course. Just win.
¹ He's so wonderful that he needed to push off the defender – offensive pass interference – to score one of his touchdowns against the Redskins in Dallas. With a referee 10 feet away. That's official deference to a storyline, not calling the game as it happens. He's good, but not as good as he's allowed to be through leaving the yellow flag in the waistband.

Q: Accessing javascript variables inside partial in handlebars.js / express-handlebars First of all, sorry to ask a question that has been asked in similar ways before. I just can;t get any of the solutions to work for me.
I am using handlebars.js with the express-handlebars library in node.js. I have both server and client rendering set up correctly and can render partials with data passed in through routers with no problem.
However I am struggling to access the page context and render javascript data declared in a script in the page.
Page snippet:

                {{> blag this.hash}}

Partial 'blag':

    {{this.var1}}
    {{this.var1}}

I cannot get the value var1 in my hash variable to render.
If i pass a hard coded string to the partial then it works with no problem, but I can never seem to access what i would call 'page context'.
What am I doing wrong that I can never seem to get this to work?
I have tried...

*

*Passing 'this' as the context into the partial

*Using the '../variablename' syntax to pass it into the partial

*Send key value pairs into the partial

*Accessing variable from context using the @ symbol in both the partial call and inside the partial itself
...and many other combinations of these things. With 100% failed attempts except when I pass in a hard-coded string.
Any help would be really appreciated. I feel like this should be simple.

A: OK, so to resolve this problem I needed to change the JavaScript to actually grad a reference to the div i wanted the output in and inject then call the template with the data I wanted passed as an argument to the template

var hash1 = {
    var1:'this is the data I want to render',
    var2: 'this is some more data i want to render'};
document.querySelector('#thisdiv').innerHTML = blagTemplate(hash1);

And I changed my partial definition to :

    {{#with this}}
        {{var1}}
        {{var2}}
    {{/with}}

My second mistake was that I thought I could inline this script inside a script tag in the page but it doesn't work at all.
I think my biggest mistake was in thinking that the 'express-handlebars' npm module was actually doing more for me than it actualy is doing.
In reality...it automatically compiles my templates and partials in any of the directories I specify and that's about it.
So when I look at tutorials like like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HuAnM6b2d8 for example, I still need to do the same process really...I can just skip the compilation process because thetemplates / partials were already compiled in my express node server.
Now I realize this it's ok, I just misunderstood what I should expect.
If anybody has any knowledge to the contrary, please feel free to share.
I hope this can help at least 1 person, because it frustrated me for hours! :)

Home Obituaries Nicholas DiNapoli, Longtime Pillar, Dies At 92
Nicholas DiNapoli, Longtime Pillar, Dies At 92
Joe Scotchie
Many Roslynians have set down roots by coming from other parts of the metropolitan area. An exception was, for instance, Marshall Ward, the longtime resident who traced his ancestry all the way back to the 19th century and the Ward family of the Ellen E. Ward Clock Tower fame.
Nicholas DiNapoli, another Roslynian who had deep roots in the village, died last week at age 92. If the surname sounds familiar it's because his oldest son, Thomas, was a longtime state assemblyman from the Roslyn area and currently, New York State Comptroller. His other son, James, born a year after Thomas DiNapoli in 1955, has served as deputy chief of the Department of Public Safety for the New York State Courts.
Nicholas DiNapoli would have liked it this way: Being known more for the accomplishments of his offspring, both of whom have played vital roles in the affairs of the nation's third-largest state.
"He had a great life and a full life," the comptroller told The Roslyn News. "He was a dedicated family man."
DiNapoli was also dedicated to the Roslyn community. During his decades in the Roslyn area, he was a member of St. Aidan's Roman Catholic Church in Williston Park, a member of American Legion Post #144 and a Legionnaire for over 50 years. As significant, DiNapoli was both an exempt and honorary member of the Roslyn Highlands Fire Department. He actively served as a volunteer fireman from 1942 to 1953. Finally, in 1985, he retired from the New York Telephone Company after 40 years of service. "He was always giving back to the community," Thomas DiNapoli observed.
DiNapoli's eventful life began in 1924, when he was born in Roslyn Heights. He attended public schools in Roslyn, graduating from Roslyn High School in 1942. By then, World War II was well underway and DiNapoli served in the United States Army Air Corps, from 1943 to 1946. Following the war, DiNapoli, like millions of ex-servicemen, married and started a family with his wife, Adeline Abbondanelo. The couple lived in Roslyn Heights before moving to Albertson in 1953. Back in the states, DiNapoli enjoyed a long and productive career with New York Telephone, serving as a foreman, maintenance supervisor, auditor and acting manager before retiring after 40 years of service in 1985.
The comptroller added that his father expressed some concern when his eldest son decided, at an early age, to make the plunge into politics.
"He worried about the insecurity of politics," Thomas DiNapoli said. "He was there for me when I won and he was there for me when I lost."
As a young boy, DiNapoli lost his own father. And that unfortunate event, inspired his entire life. "He bent over backwards to be the father he never had," Thomas DiNapoli added.
DiNapoli's family included not just his two sons, but eventually, two grandchildren, a source of pride and contentment during his senior years.
"He was thrilled to see his grandkids go to college," Thomas DiNapoli said. "The greatest joy he had was in being a grandpa. He loved having a regular breakfast with his grandkids."

Prognosticator
People often assume reporters have actual expertise in the stories they cover. Some actually do. Jim Galloway is a genuine expert on state government and politics. But I've learned to tread lightly when called to represent myself as an expert on pretty much anything.
When Occupy Atlanta became a "thing," I paid enough visits to the encampment to have developed more insight to the story than, say, those who watched the story unfold on TV. It turned out my insight was very limited, though.
A guy totes an assault rifle into Woodruff Park during Occupy Atlanta
When Mayor Kasim Reed announced that he was rescinding the Executive Order that allowed Occupy Atlanta to stay overnight in Woodruff Park, he said he would lift the order "at a time of my choosing." He said he would try to negotiate the group's withdrawal from Woodruff Park via a group of clergy.
This led me to casually predict that Reed was "in no hurry" to call in the cops to forcibly evict Occupy. My prediction was based on my belief that Reed didn't want to show a heavy hand against folks with whom he largely shared a leftist political outlook. Specifically, I'd heard Reed complain weeks earlier about corporate America's failure to create jobs while turning record profits — more or less the exact complaint of Occupy Atlanta.
Shows what I know. Reed ordered Occupy Atlanta's eviction less than 48 hours later.
The day after Reed's announcement, I produced a story about Reed's upcoming decision. While I was in the park, another 11Alive crew told me they'd seen a guy walking around the park with an assault rifle. The weapon was a semi-automatic knockoff of an AK-47.
My thought was: This is Georgia, where politicians brag about their arsenals. Ain't nothing special about toting a big ol' gun in public.
Shows what I know.
Reed specifically cited the presence of the weapon as his rationale for barricading Woodruff Park that day, then sending in the cops early the following morning.
Fortunately, nobody remembered me speculating about the timing of the dispersal of Occupy. Or if they did, they were too polite to bring it up.
If I cover a murder trial, somebody will invariably ask me what the verdict will be. I've been wrong so frequently that I won't do it anymore.
I don't mind somebody touting me as an "expert," if you're merely comparing me to somebody who has no first-hand knowledge of a news event. But the truth is: I'm only expert at putting facts together, and weaving them into a storyline on deadline.
That only makes me a TV reporter.

Ah, you give yourself too little credit. The real shame would be failing to realize the limitation that applies to us all, that we don't and can't know the future, especially when predicting human behavior. "Only two things are infinite," Einstein said. "The universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." What I'd really like to know: was the gun-toting nutjob really an OWS supporter or anti-OWS and looking to hasten the eviction?
Sam October 31, 2011 at 5:37 pm
The gun totin "nutjob" saved the taxpayers money by hastening the eviction process indeed. Just wished that he showed up sooner in order to spare taxpayers those monies as well. Maybe the guntoter is on to something.
RScott October 31, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Yeah Sam, you're right. Guns and the threats they bring have done so much for honest and open discourse. Or are you merely interested in forcing your way upon everyone else?
I'm interested in the reduction of waste when it comes to taxpayers dollars. BTW, while it was not at all smart for the gun toter to bring his weapon to such a setting, it should be noted that he was not violating any law, but your "honest and open discourse" individuals were (they were arrested for it in the event that you want to argue that point as well). I'm not forcing anything on anyone but my two cents worth and my right to say it.
Alex November 5, 2011 at 7:48 pm
It's ok, Reed has a "D" after his name (well he did when he served in the General Assembly, I realize that as Mayor he's nonpartisan) so you automatically assumed that he is a 'leftist.'
He was actually a moderate in the State Senate and carefully crafted legislation with his Republican colleagues. Some would call him a Statesman while other a Sellout. Anyway, the extreme left have always been wary of him, ie, Vincent Fort, but for them he was a better choice than Norwood.
The Occupiers should have known all along how this was going to go down.

The uchiwa fan is one of the most popular accessories of Japanese women since the 6th century and, born as an object of daily use, it soon became also a small work of art to be carried as a manifestation of the mood as well as of good taste.

Q: How to write the path to an html file in a javascript function I want to load a HTML file in an Iframe dynamically.
I tried the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('a').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        filename = "\"+$(this).text() + ".htm";
        alert(filename);
        $('iframe').attr('src', filename);
    });
}); </script>

Directory Structure:
E:SVN_HobbyHomes\HobbyHomesWebApp\HTML\Dancing.htm
It doesn't load the file in the path inside the Iframe.
Howevr if i write like this it works but i don know how to use @Url.Content in javascript
<iframe id="iframe" frameborder="0" src=src="@Url.Content("~/HTML/Dancing.htm")" style="width: 100%; height: 700px;"></iframe>

Stil it gives me error:Resource Could notbe Found!!!

A: The source of an iframe has to be a URL, either absolute or relative. Yours is not a URL, but a local filename.

A: This is most likely a browser security restriction.  For (obvious) reasons, in-browser code isn't allowed to access local resources on the workstation (without plugins and whatnot which explicitly grant more permissions).
If a web page could access a file on somebody's local workstation, what else could it do?  What other files would you be able to arbitrarily access?  The security implications are pretty clear.
You need to serve the file the same way you serve the web page trying to access it.
