New Zealand-based entrepreneur Kim Dotcom today launched a new cloud storage service, Mega.Mega.co.nz launched at 6:48am today, 20 January, exactly a year on from the moment police raided Dotcom's mansion in Coatesville, 40 minutes outside of Auckland.At the time, Dotcom's Megaupload service, along with its sister services, were shut down and the domains seized by the FBI.Shortly after the Mega.co.nz launch, Dotcom tweeted about the surge of interest in the website."Wow. I have never seen anything like this. From 0 to 10 Gigabit bandwidth utilisation within 10 minutes," he said."100,000 registered users in less than one hour. Fastest growing startup in internet history?"The site was soon overloaded, and at the time of writing - four hours after Mega.co.nz's launch - was still down. User could access the website and sign up by using the https:// prefix instead of http://, but when PC World attempted to upload an image we were unsuccessful.The new service grants free users 50GB worth of storage space - higher than most cloud services, but still lower than the 200GB Megaupload offered before the domain was seized.There are also three paid plans available:
- Pro I - For ¬10 users get 500GB storage and 1TB bandwidth.
- Pro II - For ¬20 users get 2TB storage and 4TB bandwidth.
- Pro III - For ¬30 users get 4TB storage and 8TB bandwidth.
Dotcom is currently awaiting an extradition hearing which, if the Crown is successful, would see him extradited to the US on charges of copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering.PC World New Zealand will be attending a launch event for Mega this evening, NZT - we'll have more details as the event unfolds.

Perth rentals jump to Sydney prices
Renting a home in Perth is now nearly as expensive as Sydney, with the mining boom driving rents to a record level.
The soaring population of temporary workers in Perth and Darwin has seen housing costs ''skyrocket'', driving rents up by $90 to $130 a week in the last year, according to Australian Property Monitors.
New research shows a house now costs $490 a week to rent in Perth and $700 a week in Darwin. Meanwhile, rental growth has been nonexistent in Sydney and Melbourne for more than a year.
APM chief economist Dr Andrew Wilson said the ''extraordinary rises'' were caused by a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workforce that can afford to bid up the price of housing well beyond what locals could afford.
Perth house rents rose 22.5 per cent and units by 17.1 per cent in the last year. The vacancy rate for rental properties was just 0.9 per cent in February, according to SQM Research.
''It's making conditions very tough going for tenants, but it's a nirvana for investors,'' Dr Wilson said.
''With an estimated 1200-1500 people arriving in Perth each week, there are just not enough houses to go around. It's especially become a problem when the state is already behind the 8-ball in terms of housing construction.''
Fairfax-owned APM has found costs are even steeper in Darwin, where a much smaller population and supply of housing stock is struggling to contend with an influx of workers for the liquid national gas projects.
In the last year, Darwin house rents soared 22.8 per cent and unit rents by 22.2 per cent. Only 1.3 per cent of rental properties are currently available there.
In contrast, rents for houses in Melbourne held at $360 and have now not experienced any growth in more than two years. Unit rents rose just 1.4 per cent, well below the rate of inflation.
''The Melbourne story is the economy is reasonably weak and there's been a lot of supply, with Melbourne leading the nation in dwelling construction for the last three years,'' said MacroBusiness economist Leith van Onselen.
In Sydney, house rents held steady at $500 for the year, but unit rents have risen by 4.4 per cent.
About 2.7 per cent of rental properties are vacant in Melbourne and 1.5 per cent in Sydney, SQM Research says.
''The data shows Australia is experiencing a two-speed rental market, with explosive growth linked to the mining boom in Perth and Darwin but rents in the other capitals are growing at rates below inflation,'' Mr van Onselen said.

We had a great time writing "Dueling Microphones" and promoting it on all the social networking sites, and I will be performing one of the sets live at The Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St., Philadelphia soon. It would have been last Saturday, but Irene upstaged my act. I will have something up on YouTube for you.

Show times are every Friday night at 11:00 pm.

I Barely Know You
This poker blog cracks me up. I sometimes think something I write is really cool and it gets no responses, or I write something I think is basic poker and I get a zillion responses and start a 7-blog flame war. Yeeesshhh.
Anyway.. here is a question I have been thinking about. Put on your caps if your a good player and answer this: What make a good call good?
Is it the fact that you won the hand? If that is our criteria then every donkey who sucks out on us is a brilliant call maker. Is it having the best hand when the money goes in? I am not sure this is it either. If I am playing 600NL and I know my 68o with an 823 two spade flop is the best hand.. do I call the 600$ raise the bluffer with KQo makes? Perhaps he has A4 spades? A4 clubs? Is this a good place to get all my money in? Can I outplay him bad somewhere else?
I am such an intellectual that I have to think about these abstract concepts. Just ask Ick, he always tells me I am wiiiicked smaaaaaattt. The reason I bring this up is that I made two calls I won with. One was interesting. One was stupid. Were either ones good reads? Possibly. Good plays? Who knows? Good calls? You decide.
I am in the middle of a 90-person SNG on FT. I am doing pretty well with over 4K in chips. There are 57 people left. I look down and see AQ. The flop comes Axx. I call a small raise into the pot. The flop comes Axx and it is 3-handed. The initial better leads out with a bet. Our second hero calls. I think I am good here so I float a call and see what the out of position c-better does next. The turn is a Ten. He checks. The next guy checks and bet out $400. This is a pot sized bet and there are 2-hearts on the board. The original raiser bows out and now I feel alot better about my hand. The middle guy thinks about it for a while and cold calls. The river is a second ten. I decide I will check here and hope he does not have a ten. He immediately pushes all in. My initial reaction is "Aww fuck I let him catch trips". I then rethink the hand in my head. He waits and calls with the turn card which brought a flush draw. He saw me lead out weak on the river. If I listen to my MiamiDon and other various people who have told me this over and over it smells a hell of a lot like a huge bluff on a missed flush with a scare card. I will have 1200 chips left if I lose. I end up making the call after replaying the hand in my head. Was it a good call?
The next hand you already know about but I might as well rehash it. I have 24c in position and call a small raise from Penner. He leads out on a two-club flop and I decide I will cold call. He then bets the pot when I make my flush on the turn. I decide to milk him and cold call. The river brings the horrible fourth flush card. He pushes in and it is 7$ out of my $25 original stack to call. Pot odds potentially dictate a call. However I am sure I am beat. I say to myself "Fuck this you can have my last $7 I quit".. and then I make the call. Was it a good call?
Now remember what you were thinking when you read the end of these hands. I ended up winning both hands. I was correct in both hands in the fact that I was ahead. I do not think that this in itself makes these good calls or bad calls though. I also know I misplayed both of these hands at least somewhat and if you want to comment on that you can but I am more interested in the concept of what makes a good call.

Story highlights
- Three police officers die in checkpoint attack, bringing day's death toll to 12
- Among those targeted in the attacks was the preside of Diyala University
- The university president was wounded and two of his guards were killed, officials said
- A bus bomb exploded near a police station in Baghdad, killing at least three people
Heightened sectarian tensions erupted into violence Thursday in a wave of attacks that left at lest 12 people dead. Three of the victims were police officers, authorities said.
Among those targeted Thursday was the president of Diyala University, Abass al-Dulaimai, who was wounded when two roadside bombs hit his convoy in Baquba, 60 kilometers (about 37 miles) north of Baghdad, the officials said.
Two of al-Dulaimai's bodyguards died in the explosions and three others were wounded, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details to the media.
The three police officers died in Taji, about 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) north of Baghdad, when gunmen attacked a police checkpoint with machine guns, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades, police said.
An Iraqi army officer, meanwhile, was killed when gunmen broke into his home in Baquba and opened fire, the officials said.
Two members of a local Awakening Council were killed when bombs exploded outside their homes north of Baquba, they said. The councils, also known as Sons of Iraq, are made up predominantly of Sunni Arab fighters who turned on al Qaeda in Iraq in late 2006.
Among the attacks in Baghdad was a bus bomb that exploded near a police station in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Hurriya, killing at least three people and wounding 11, the officials said.
Rising tensions were highlighted this week when thousands of pro-government Shiites took to the street to counter Sunni demonstrations following the arrests of Finance Minister Rafei el-Essawi's bodyguards. El-Essawi is Sunni.
While violence has fallen off in Iraq since 2006 and 2007 when sectarian tensions nearly ripped the country apart, increased attacks in recent months have raised fears about the possibility of a return to that level of violence.
The most recent attacks came the same day that the Iraqi government reported at least 208 Iraqi civilians, soldiers and police officers died in December violence, according to figures compiled by Iraq's Interior, Defense and Health ministries. The casualties were predominantly civilians, according to the ministries.
The total does not include those killed in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region, which keeps its own death toll tally.

The bilateral exercise between Pakistani and Chinese naval forces concluded at the North Arabian Sea on Wednesday.
The first of the series of bilateral naval exercises provided a good opportunity to both the navies to learn from each other's experiences, enhance interoperability and refine the tactical doctrines, said a press release of the Pakistan Navy.

long live the queen!
experimenting with digital inking. i've tried it before without much satisfaction, but this time i was trying to be much less prissy and exact. it was a lot of fun! it also gives a VERY different look from the original pencils.
this is queen hippolyta back in the day, the "writing" up top is amazonian (yes it actually says something). the composition is overwhelmingly (if indirectly) influenced by woodblock artists like kunioshi and sharaku and this guy:
i particularly wanted something that felt massive and overwhelmed the page. it's actually something, compositionally, i've been wanting to play with for two years, and i'd love to follow up when i have time. ha ha the joke, it is on me!

NOVOKATERYNIVKA, Ukraine — The Ukrainian solders were an easy target as they launched a desperate run to safety. Pounded by a gauntlet of rocket shells, blown up in their vehicles, they died by the dozens.
In fields around the eastern Ukrainian village of Novokaterynivka, more than thirty army vehicles lay charred and pulverized into twisted piles of metal Tuesday — the result of a devastating weekend ambush by separatist forces.
The rout marked a major intensification in the separatists' offensive in eastern Ukraine — one that the government in Kiev, NATO and the United States say has been sustained by Russia's direct military support.
Moscow's aggressive stance toward Ukraine has come in both words and deeds of late, fueled by attacks like those in Novokaterynivka as well as a leaked report that EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said Vladimir Putin told him that Russia could take over Kiev "in two weeks" if it wished.
The separatists, after having a month of setbacks in which government troops regained territory, have been inordinately successful in the last 10 days just as columns of Russian tanks and armored vehicles have been seen crossing the border. President Barack Obama and other NATO leaders will be attending a summit in Wales on Thursday to create a rapid-response military team to counter the Russian threat.
Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy adviser, told reporters that the Russian leader's statement on Kiev was "taken out of context and carried a completely different meaning."
Yet on the ground, the results of much deadlier weapons of war could not be denied.
The smashed tanks, APCs and trucks were part of a massive column fleeing Saturday night after being encircled in the town of Ilovaisk, which the government was compelled to concede after weeks of bitter battles. Judging by how close together the stricken vehicles were, the incoming fire was precise and extremely intense.
"They were going to surrender and they began to bomb them," said Novokaterynivka resident Anatoly Tyrn.
Ukrainian army personnel have been allowed to travel to Novokaterynivka and surrounding rebel-held areas to retrieve their soldiers' bodies, a few of which still lie in the open.
Villagers and the Russian-backed rebels say the number of Ukrainian military dead was huge, although the government has maintained a tight lid on the precise figure.
Tyrn said he believed more than a hundred had died. Various rebel fighters separately gave estimates, all ranging into the dozens. AP reporters saw at least 11 bodies in the area over the last two days, although it was clear that was only a portion of the overall toll. Most of the dead were removed Monday, the rebels said.
One body was flung over an overhead high-voltage power line, apparently after his armored personnel carrier was hit by a shell. Another was quickly buried by rebels under a thin layer of dirt, but the summer heat bloated the body, pushing it up through the soil.
The turret of one tank blown several meters (yards) clear of its vehicle, landing beside Tyrn's home.
"Only a few homes in the village have been left untouched," he said.
As Tyrn spoke, the rural silence was broken by a controlled explosion of abandoned Ukrainian army equipment a couple of miles away.
"That's far away," he said, without flinching.
Uncertainty remains about whether the escaping Ukrainian troops had been offered a safe exit corridor by rebel forces. The leader of the pro-government Donbas Battalion, Semyon Semenchenko, wrote on his Facebook on Saturday morning that there was an agreement. But rebel fighters told The Associated Press a day later that the government convoy included too many military vehicles and weapons to be allowed through.
One group of Ukrainian soldiers that survived the gauntlet told the AP on Sunday that they were fired upon from all sides.
"We came out of hell," said one, standing in a flatbed truck packed with 20 other soldiers outside the town of Starobesheve.
Rank-and-file troops have increasingly voiced exasperation at perceived government mismanagement of the war. Anatoly Babchenko, a soldier captured Sunday by the rebels who was being held in a basement cell at the Starobesheve police station, was unsparing in his criticism.
"First they drove people to hunger, and now they've driven them to war," Babchenko said. "They call this an antiterrorist operation, but this is a civil war. Brother killing brother."
Pro-Russian rebels began fighting Ukrainian government troops in mid-April, a month after Russia annexed Crimea. The war has left more than 2,500 people dead and forced at least 340,000 to flee.
In addition, it has left Ukraine's economy in tatters. Ukraine might need billions in additional support if the fighting persists through next year, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday. Just covering the shortfall in the central bank's reserves would require an additional $19 billion by the end of 2015, it said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said on his Facebook page that the counter-insurgency operation was over and the nation's military was now facing the Russian army in a war that could cost "tens of thousands" of lives.
"This is our Great Patriotic War," he wrote, using the local terminology for World War II.
Russia's Foreign Ministry dismissed Heletey's remarks as "shocking" and accused him of trying to shift blame and keep his position amid a series of military defeats.
Ukrainian and several Western countries say Russia has sharply escalated the conflict in eastern Ukraine by sending regular army units into its neighbor. NATO estimates at least 1,000 Russian soldiers have entered Ukraine, helping turn the tide in the last week in favor of the Russia-backed insurgents. The military alliance also says 20,000 other Russian soldiers have been positioned along the border.
On a ridge overlooking a road running past Novokaterynivka, which was littered with blackened machine parts, rebels stood watch Tuesday in their tanks. Four trucks packed with grime-caked rebel fighters swept by, along with two APCs and a couple of ambulances, apparently straight from more battles.
The residents in Novokaterynivka who have not fled appeared almost unfazed by the chaos around them.
Children played in a meter-deep (3-foot) crater, collecting fragments of shrapnel. Delivery trucks wove gingerly around the charred military vehicles even while unexploded ordinance lay scattered about. One man let his chickens out to feed.
Militiamen searched from house to house for possible stragglers from the destroyed convoy.
One man who identified himself as Ivan was detained outside his gate by rebels who said he had no papers and feared he might be a fugitive Ukrainian soldier. He was left lying on a pile of sand with a T-shirt over his bloodied face, his hands and legs bound with tape.
Some separatists, particularly locals, openly mourned the costs of the escalating conflict while others, like one at a checkpoint in Starobesheve, relished their military success.
Told about the Ukrainian soldier blown onto an electricity cable, he exuded satisfaction.
"That is my favorite sight: a Nazi hanging from a wire," he declared. "There is a God after all."
Associated Press writers Vladimir Isachenkov and Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow and Jim Heintz in Kiev contributed to this report.

– The Rock spoke to Entertainment Weekly about how the new GI Joe movie that opens in late-June is different than the first:
"I can tell you this one is creatively much different [from the first]," said Rock. "It's rooted, it's grounded, it's real. The studio came to me and I loved the idea of starring in the movie because I grew up on G.I. Joe and it's a massive property. I spoke to the studio and they told me about the creative shift that they wanted to make with the movie, which made it easy for me to sign on."

NASHVILLE, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Carrie Underwood is pregnant!
The 31-year-old country music star took to Twitter Monday to reveal that she and her NHL player husband Mike Fisher are expecting their first child together.
Underwood made the announcement by sharing a picture of her two dogs in t-shirts that read "I'm going to be a big brother" and "big sister" on Twitter.
In honor of "Labor" Day...Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn't be happier! pic.twitter.com/bROrzuHJ4J— Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) September 1, 2014
After re-tweeting his wife's post, Fisher also shared a message about his upcoming bundle of joy's name.
"We haven't picked names yet but it's looking like Fly is gonna fly. #boyorgirl #flyfisher," he wrote.
Underwood and Fisher have been married since 2010. The "Blown Away" singer told People magazine in April 2013 that she would quit her music career if Fisher asked her to.
"When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work," she said at the time.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month

By: Penny M.
Healthcare Professional
I am a registered sleep technologist in Augusta, Georgia. I am the day technologist and coordinator for the lab. I am also the facilitator for the A.W.A.K.E support group, one of only 3 in the state. I am submitting my nomination because I am deeply concerned that in general, people with stroke are not receiving sleep studies as part of the follow up care. I believe it is vital that they do have the sleep study to evaluate for and treat sleep apnea once a stroke has occurred. I would like to see the sleep study included as routine follow up care for all stroke victims. As a sleep technologist, I am committed to educating others as to the impact that sleep apnea has on every aspect of health.

Kanye West to Be Featured on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'
Color us surprised! Kanye West will appear with his new "girlfriend," Kim Kardashian, in her upcoming season of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.'
West has already appeared on the series previously, but this will mark the first time he's been on the alleged "reality" show as a love interest. While cameras surround Kardashian nonstop and would be difficult for Yeezy to avoid, it also lends some credence to the publicity incentive to the relationship. The pairing already garnered a ton of media attention when West released 'Theraflu' with DJ Khaled, on which he openly rapped about his love for K.K.
However, a source tells Radar Online (via The Boombox) that West's intentions to appear on the series aren't for PR (and let's face it, he hardly needs more media attention): they're out of adoration for his new lady.
"Kanye is head over heels in love with Kim, and he has told her he would love to appear on the reality show if she wants him to," a source said. "Kim is a bit leery of having her man appear on camera because of the whole fiasco with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Kris Humphries, but watch for Kanye to make several appearances on the show towards the end of the season. Viewers won't see him featured in the first part of the season, and it won't be all about Kanye."
We're not sure how Kanye will feel about anything not being "all about Kanye," but we wish the couple the best! Will you be tuning in to 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' this season to catch Kanye's ep?

Lauren Silberman's first kick in her bid to make the NFL. Mike Garafolo, USA TODAY Sports
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Katie Hnida wonders if Lauren Silberman and the NFL have done damage to the dreams of female athletes.
Silberman was one of 38 kickers to take part in the league's New York/New Jersey regional scouting combine at the New York Jets' facility. She was the first female participant in an NFL-sponsored tryout and was hoping to prove her kicks could stand up to the booming 55-yard field goals some of the men were making.
CUT SHORT: Silberman's bid ends after two kicks
Silberman kicked only twice, kickoffs for a total of 30 yards. Only one crossed the midfield stripe – by a yard. After that, her day was over because she said she aggravated a quad injury she suffered in practice last week.
The way Hnida saw it, those practice sessions couldn't have been that intense.
"Her performance does not have to do with her gender, it has to do with her experience and her preparation," Hnida, a former college kicker for Colorado and New Mexico and the first woman to score a point in a Division I game, told USA TODAY Sports by phone. "Unfortunately, what's going to happen now is she's going to be looked at (as inferior) because she was female.
"But she was terrible."
WILL A WOMAN EVER PLAY IN THE NFL? Join the conversation
FIXING FOOTBALL: Coaches try to make it safer
Hnida knows because she saw a clip of Silberman's kicks.
"I saw the video," Hnida said with a sigh. "I saw the video."
What Hnida didn't see was the 20-second period before the kick in which Silberman couldn't figure out how to stand the ball on the tee without it falling. Hnida fell silent on the other end of the phone when told that.
Hnida, who is battling back from a blood clot that put her Arena League career on hold, also didn't see the awkward nine steps backward and five steps sideways Silberman made as she lined up 6 yards behind the ball instead of the standard approach from 10 or more yards.
Three kickers who tried out along with Silberman on Sunday said the former MIT student asked a few of them how to approach the ball on the kick. The kickers spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because they didn't want to hurt their chances of getting another tryout with a team.
Silberman's technique, as Hnida noted, was terrible.
Silberman took no warm-up kicks, saying she was nursing her injury – which combine officials said they had no idea she'd suffered. But even as she jogged awkwardly toward an empty tee, it was clear her kicks were going to be dreadful – quad pull or no quad pull.
"I also find it curious she didn't warm up," Hnida said. "You never go in kicking cold. There's a reason why the kickers are the first people out there. It takes us a while to warm up."
Though the league reserves the right to deny a registration, it apparently made no attempt to determine whether Silberman had a chance to put forth a good effort. Now, other young women likely will have an even tougher path to gender equality on the football field.
"It is disappointing," Hnida said. "I hoped she would go out and do justice for an NFL tryout, because there are lots of people who have dreamed of going to the NFL. It should be something serious."

My baby sister has a home that Martha Stewart would envy. Every room is perfectly decorated to be cozy and welcoming. I visited this last weekend and her basement guestroom and bath were nicer than my entire house. My only complaint was that the only window to the room looked out into a window well that was filled only with dead leaves. I told her I would work on coming up with some nice way to decorate it and today sent her the following letter:
Dear E:
I was thinking maybe you could put a nativity scene into the guest room Window of Despair, but I've discovered that all outdoor nativity sets on the planet seem to be specifically designed to be as ugly as humanly possible. My theory is that it is some sort of test of faith. Surely only a "True Blue" devotee of Jesus et al. will put out a Nativity Set on their lawn despite the shame and humiliation of displaying something so ugly that Mother Teresa herself would want to convert to Islam upon viewing the abomination of yellowed plastic and/or rusted steel currently available.
Considering the rich tradition of Christian art over the last thousand years, I'm frankly disappointed in the human race for not being able to come up with something better. I'm going to have to think about the problem; surely there is a solution.
In the meantime, consider some of these charming and whimsical dioramas that might bring that touch of elegance to your guest room window:
1. A restful scene from a popular science fiction franchise:
2. Nothing says Christmas like a diorama of the Battle of Stalingrad. Who doesn't love watching Nazi's getting frostbite?
3. Why not celebrate delicious winter delicacies with a Donner Party scene?
4. Perhaps you'd like a politically-charged display warning of the dangers of climate change with scenes of our brave ancestors as they suffered through our most recent ice age:
5. Or why not show off your favorite fantasy-based TV show with this classy Game of Thrones: Direwolf winter scene?
6. …or just sell out to Big Candy with a Peep display:
Other winter-themed dioramas to consider:
"I can't feel my feet!" Washington crosses the Potomac"
"Who needs potatoes? The Dutch Hunger 1944"
"I smell something burning! The 1851 Fire at the Library of Congress"
"Offsides are delicious! The 1972 Andes Soccer Team Plane Crash"
I hope this has given you inspiration for decorating. Merry Christmas!
Love, Linnea

HAYWARD — Under his bright green safety vest, Waste Management truck driver Duncan Macharia wears a button-down shirt.
He rarely needs to disembark from the high-tech cab of his massive green truck as it lumbers along Victory Drive, part of his pre-dawn route.
His new truck is a far cry from the first motorized ones, put into service in the United States in 1912. The cabs are clean and heated, and there is no lingering odor. And because the drivers no longer have to lug trash cans, their clothes stay clean.
Macharia turns his focus to a row of about a dozen carts as he searches for the green ones. One of three drivers who cover this route on Tuesdays, he is assigned to pick up green waste; the other two trucks take trash and recyclables.
The three trucks on his route are part of a fleet of 15 new compressed natural gas-powered vehicles that Waste Management rolled out this fall in the Oro Loma Sanitary District. Powered by converted methane gas extracted from garbage at the Altamont landfill, the CNG trucks run cleaner than older diesel ones, with almost no carbon emissions.
Macharia smiles as a resident, a sweatshirt tossed over his pajamas, dashes to the curb, adding a trash bin to a cluster already there.
"Most of the customers are nice, but some get so mad at us," Macharia said. "They place the cart late, and then they think you're the one who missed it."
The trucks, which cost $320,000 to $350,000 each, also are about 50 percent quieter than the old ones, which has caught some customers, who must get their carts outside by 6 a.m., by surprise.
"I can't tell when trucks are coming; before you could hear them coming down the street," said Mary Ann Davis, a Cherryland resident. "If I had forgotten to take my cart out, I would make a mad dash before the truck arrived. I can't hear them, but I like that they are quieter. And I'm trusting that they are better for the environment than the old trucks were."
Stopping his truck, Macharia flips a switch to turn on a side light, illuminating the carts so he can pick out the green one. He pushes a button, extending a mechanical arm that snags the green one and lifts it over the truck.
A camera atop the truck lets him sit and watch a video screen as yard clippings and food scraps fall into the hopper. The truck jostles from side to side as he moves the cart up and down to make sure it is empty. He then remotely returns the cart to the curb, never leaving the truck's cab.
"When I was learning, sometimes I would miss the cart, even drive past it and have to back up," he said. "Now I'm kind of precise."
Over the past 10 years, trash haulers have switched to the now-common residential three-cart system (trash, recycling and green waste) to comply with a state law that requires a 75 percent reduction in what goes to landfills by 2020. Alameda County has a higher goal of 90 percent.
Customers in the Oro Loma district, which covers San Lorenzo and parts of Hayward, San Leandro and Fairview, for the past three years have been encouraged to toss food scraps into the green bins. The bins at first held only yard clippings, but food scraps were added as cities and districts looked for ways to meet landfill diversion goals; food makes up about a third of the trash in Alameda County. All cities and districts in Alameda County now accept food scraps, as does most of central Contra Costa County.
"Pushing out three bins is not a hassle," said Cesar Flores, who lives in north Hayward. "We put fruit in the green bin, and it's cut down the garbage some. But I would like for the trucks to come at the same time each week, so we can figure out a good time to roll the carts out. We don't like to push them out the night before because people put stuff in them."
Shortly after 5 a.m. each day, 224 trucks line up and leave Waste Management's yard on 98th Avenue in Oakland, fanning out across Alameda County and into San Ramon. Of those, 41 run on compressed natural gas that is produced at Waste Management's liquefied natural gas plant at the Altamont Landfill in Livermore.
Macharia, 44, has driven a Waste Management truck for 10 years, but "waking up early is still hard." He gets up a little past 3 a.m. and drives an hour from Lathrop in the Central Valley to Oakland.
He nods to the few customers out in the early morning. Some wave, while one man crosses his arms and stares, as if he were making sure that Macharia emptied his cart.
The drivers map out their own routes, and Macharia makes a point of emptying carts around Longwood Elementary School early on Tuesdays. "I like to do the area around the school early before they come," he said. "It can get crowded later."
On some streets, only three or four green carts have been set out. Macharia said that, in general, green waste routes are faster in the winter, when fewer people are doing yard work. He has finished his route in as few as five to six hours, but it has taken him up to nine hours. "You drive the route, however long it takes," he said.
Macharia stops his truck, climbs down the two steps and grabs a pair of gloves from the side of the truck before pulling carts out from behind a parked car. Having to move carts or separate carts that are too close together slows him down. They need to be 3 feet apart so the mechanical arm has room to grab them.
"The people are learning and are getting better, though," he said.

Hamantaschen with Lotus Biscoff Filling
Review Recipe3 stars based on 2626 votes
Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter adds a delicious new twist to this traditional pastry enjoyed on Purim holiday.
- Prepare the dough: Place butter, powdered sugar, flour and Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter in a mixer and blend into a crumbly mixture. Add the egg yolk and continue to mix until the dough is formed.
- Form a ball form the dough and flatten it slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour at least.
- Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of approximately 1/5 of an inch. Cut out approximately 25 circles about 3 inches in diameter with a cutter, a ring or a thin-walled glass.
- Assemble the Taschen and bake: Add Biscoff Cookie Butter into a pastry bag. If it is too stiff, heat it for a few seconds beforehand in a microwave to soften it (take care not to completely liquefy it).
- Pipe in the center of each circle of dough a spoonful of Biscoff Cookie Butter and sprinkle a few cookie crumbs above it. Tighten it in the form of a triangular dumpling. Make sure to tighten the edges well so that the filling will not escape during the baking process. Place it in a pan lined with baking sheet and move to a freezer for approximately 30 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 340 degrees.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes until it achieves a light golden hue and allow it to cool entirely.
- You can store it in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Serve with sprinkled powdered sugar.

Satyanarayan Puja
To seek immediate and constant blessings of God Narayan, Shri Satyanarayan Puja is performed every Purnima or Poornima also known as Pournami. Also considered as an incarnation of truth, Narayan or Lord Vishnu is highly appeased when Shri Satyanarayan Puja / Satyanarayan Katha is performed especially on Poornima, Poornima or Pournami.
On the day of this puja, devotees have to observe fast. Mornings, as well as Evenings, are best for the puja. Evening Puja is more suitable as devotees can break the fast by obtainment of Prasadam.
In mPanchang, dates for Satyanarayan Puja to be performed in evening are given. Thus, these dates for puja can fall on Chaturdashi, one day before Purnima, Poornima or Pournami. Those desiring to perform Puja in the morning should consult mPanchang to ascertain that the Pooja is performed within Purnima tithi as the tithi may be over in Morning. Therefore, it is advised to preferably perform Shri Satyanarayan Puja Vidhi on the eve of puja day.
List of Satyanarayan Puja Dates 2017
A set ritual is observed for worshipping Lord Satyanarayan, a very generous incarnation of Lord Vishnu. A sacred mixture of five things milk, honey, ghee, yogurt and sugar, popularly known as Panchamrutham is used in purification of the Shaligram, the divine stone of Lord Vishnu. Prasad is made of roasted wheat flour, sugar, banana and other fruits. To make this Prasad sacred Tulasi leaves are added.
On the commencement of Puja, the story of Puja also called Katha is narrated to all present there that include observant of fast and those who are part of the Puja. The Katha details of the origin of Puja, its benefits and the possible disasters a person faces on non-performing of Puja.
The Puja culminates with the chanting of an Arti, a process of rotating a small fire lit with the help of Kapur or Camphor in front of image or idol of Lord Vishnu. Fast Observant and Puja participants after Arti, devour the Panchamrutham and the Prasad. Vrat observant generally break the fast after consuming the Panchamrutham.

Michael Douglas says marriage not in crisis
While attending the premiere of 'Behind the Candelabra' in Berlin, Michael Douglas says he and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones 'are fine.' (Sept. 2) AP
Douglas said he and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones are taking a "temporary separation."
BERLIN (AP) — Actor Michael Douglas says he doesn't have a crisis at home and that he and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones "are fine" and taking a "temporary separation."
Douglas was speaking in Berlin on Monday while promoting Liberace film Behind the Candelabra.
In response to a question from the media, he says "I have a crisis at home? No, I think the press has a crisis. We, we are fine. My wife and I are, are fine. We take a temporary separation, but the press, it gives you stuff to write about."
Zeta-Jones, 43, and Douglas, 68, were married in 2000. They have two children. He battled throat cancer in 2010 and made headlines this summer when he spoke out about one potential cause, oral sex.

text: I'm new to this forum and the first thread I thought would be interesting was from the Old Red Guard. It was asking if Scott Rolen would be an improvement over Frazier in this years lineup but it was kind of sad to see that the topic wasn't taken seriously whatsoever. Most comments and responses were just picking on the original poster and those that might have given a proper discussion on the matter had to stand up for the poster at that point. So I pose the question, would Scott Rolen really be such a downgrade to Frazier? I'm a huge fan of Frazier's work ethic and I love what he brings to the club but I am also a huge fan of the game itself and I will admit that Rolen's leadership and experience outweighs a good personality all day. If you look at Rolen's last couple years with the team, though injury prone, his numbers are most likely not going to be overtaken by Frazier. I would give away Fraziers power edge to Rolen's ability to hit in actual clutch situations and I don't even feel that Rolen's defense compared to Fraziers is worth the discussion. Basically, I'm not seeing a sophomore slump, I'm seeing the kind of player he will be throughout his career. This team might be the best chance for the Reds and I cant see any scenario where a player like Rolen hurts the team.

Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter Stephanie Rose Bongiovi was arrested at Hamilton College in Upstate New York early Wednesday morning after allegedly overdosing on heroin.
Bongiovi was found unresponsive, but alive, in her college dorm room, where police and emergency personnel responded to the scene and discovered a "small quantity" of heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, reports TMZ.
When the student came to, she was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and criminally using drug paraphernalia — all misdemeanors.
A 21-year-old male student was also arrested and charged with drug possession.
The two were eventually released from custody and have a court date in the future.
Following the incident, Hamilton College said in a statement WKTV:
"In addition to violating state law, the actions alleged to have been committed by the students violate Hamilton College policy. The college is cooperating with the police investigation. Our first concern is always for the safety of our students. Out of respect for the privacy of our students and in accordance with federal regulations we do not discuss individual health or disciplinary matters."
Bongiovi is the eldest, and only daughter, of Jon Bon Jovi's four children with his wife of 23 years, Dorothea Hurley.

I bought some peas in pods this week (I was in a hurry and just thought 'Ooh, massive sugar snap peas!' D'oh!) and very much enjoyed the theraputic activity that is podding peas. I was podded a load last night to make this for the umpteenth time: http://www.justhungry.com/my-mothers-simply-braised-spring-vegetables-hi... but was feeling a little guilty for chucking out the pods. I even gave one a nibble and it was nice, but a little tougher than those of peas that are cultivated to be eaten in their pods - obviously!
I was wondering, is there any way I could use these in a recipe? Would I be able to blitz them into soup? Any ideas or any recipes would be much appreciated; I don't like to throw things out if I can help it!
You could definitely boil them up to make stock, but they are really very fibrous, too much to eat as a vegetable. I used to munch on them when I was a kid, but you do have to spit out the inner part after a bit.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Pea pods have been used for soups for centuries in England. The technology for dealing with the pea pod fibers was a Tamis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamis and the soup would be sieved through this.
This recipe looks rather nice:
And it's vegetarian (no chicken stock involved)
It's something about their texture and how they burst in your mouth, so I'm not much of a fresh pea fan - but my husband most definitely is. You've certainly encouraged me to use the pods for making a soup or stock (I love the idea of a pea risotto with no peas). I think the key to using pea pods might be to get a good quality sieve.
Perhaps now's the time for me to finally invest in one of those 'superbags' the Molecular Gastronomy cooks have been raving about! :D
That soup recipe looks yummy! And great minds obviously think alike, Loretta, I too was considering risotto whilst podding the peas!
Now to invest in a decent sieve. :)
pii_bii, my mother says 1) thank you for making that recipe so many times! and 2) pea pods make great fertilizer for roses - just bury them at the roots. FWIW ^_^
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks to your mother for the recipe, and her horticultural knowledge! Nitrogen fixing legumes, and all that, I guess - I should have guessed that they'd be good for plants. Okay, well I live in a flat without so much as a window box, but I have an allotment nearby and lots of green fingered friends who would appreciate the pods, I'm sure. :)

GateHouse News Service Cooler weather and some rain means fall is be around the corner, but never count out Mother Nature to remind us that we don�t control the weather.
However, the calendar does tell us it will get cooler sooner or later, and that means we must muster the courage to do some physical labor to counter all that summer threw at us.
Lawns are the biggest headaches right now, though Labor Day weekend is the ideal time to get the turf back in shape. Unfortunately, it may be more difficult this year. Is the grass dead or dormant? That�s the big question.
Most lawns are in a dormant state. However, some are dead. Get down on your hands and knees and peel back the brown leaves and stems. If you run across a green center, the plants are alive. If you come across nothing but brown, stock up on grass seed, or think about covering the yard with something else.
If your grass is still alive
Let�s assume the crowns are still green. Water, fertilizer and cooler weather will stimulate grass into new growth. You�ll still be left with all the dead above-ground parts, which could lead to a thatch buildup. The key word is �could,� as a healthy soil and mowing might break up the stems before they cause much thatch.
Of course, if you are still under water restrictions, don�t fertilize unless you are using slow-release fertilizers that are activated by water, whether from a good rain or thorough irrigation. Quick-release fertilizers should not be used unless you know water will be available.
The fertilizer package will say whether it�s water soluble or water insoluble. Choose the water- insoluble kind, which is the slow-release. Water-soluble or quick-release fertilizer can burn what�s struggling to remain alive in the lawn, usually the roots and some crowns.
If you have the ability to water, use a fertilizer that dissolves and provides some nitrogen to stimulate growth. However, you must continue to water every week.
With the fertilizer, water and cooler temperatures, you should see the lawn green in a matter of weeks, meaning you�ll be able to get your mower out again.
You can choose granular that will dissolve with water, or a liquid fertilizer such as Miracle-Gro or Rapid-Gro. Follow the directions. Do not think more is better. More will probably kill struggling plants.
If you can�t water, slow-release or water-insoluble fertilizer is the way to go. Because water and cooler temperatures are needed to dissolve the granules, you just wait until Mother Nature is ready to provide.
If your grass is dead
The tough part comes with the realization the lawn is dead and won�t come back.
At this stage, you need to seed or sod the lawn.
Don�t put sod on top of dead grass. You need to till the soil and dead grass and then lay the sod. It�s lots of work, but you can get the instant gratification of a new lawn. Of course, you�ll have to water it regularly while it�s getting established.
Seeding is probably the best route. There are two methods. The first involves tilling the dead grass and seeding over it. You�ll need to water it daily to keep the seed bed moist while the seed germinates. You don�t have to water deeply, as the seeds should only be buried a quarter of an inch deep. But you don�t want the seeds to dry out.
Probably the best method is slit seeding, a method that does some dethatching while cutting slits in the ground and dropping seeds in the narrow slot. Watering closes the soil over the seed. Seeds germinate in narrow rows, but soon fill out.
You can rent silt seeders; you might be able to go in with your neighbors and do several lawns in a morning. Many lawn care companies offer the service.
There probably is a third method of just throwing seed on top of the dead grass, watering and hoping it comes up before the birds eat it. That�s not the best thing.
Seeding doesn�t have to be done Labor Day weekend, but the sooner you can get the seed in the ground, the better chance it will survive the winter. In central Illinois, the third weekend in September is usually the last chance to seed and have guaranteed success. Every week after that, winter kill becomes greater.
On the other hand, as long as you have four weeks before the ground freezes, you can sod.
One thing you can say about the drought is it caused cracks in the ground.
Think of the ground as a dry sponge. When you add water, it swells up a bit. That makes the soil a little looser, creating various sized pores. The smaller pores hold moisture while the larger ones allow roots to grow.
Aeration does something similar, though unless the lawn is green and the ground is moist, it�s not ideal to aerate now. Wait for October.David Robson is a specialist with University of Illinois Extension. For more gardening information or for your local extension unit office, go to www.extension.uiuc.edu/mg.

Never mind the words of Dustin Penner. His stone-faced expression is what lingers.
Asked following the Ducks' practice Monday what he was thinking about Tuesday's reunion with the Dallas Stars and forward Ryan Garbutt, Penner said, "I haven't even thought about it."
The 6-foot, 190-pound Garbutt decked the 6-4, 240-pound Penner during the Ducks' 6-3 victory over Dallas on Oct. 20 at Honda Center.
Although no penalty was called, the NHL suspended Garbutt for five games, ruling he aimed and launched himself at Penner in what the league called "a violent and dangerous hit."
Penner was knocked out briefly, and walked rubber-legged to the dressing room. He missed the next five games and said on Twitter he was blindsided.
Penner has recovered impressively to lead the NHL with a plus-18 goal differential while on the ice, and he scored two goals Saturday in the first-place Ducks' 4-2 victory at Phoenix.
Perhaps living well is the best revenge, or maybe retribution is best served without warning.
Tampa Bay defenseman Radko Gudas took out Ducks winger Teemu Selanne with a penalized hit Nov. 14, and Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa met Gudas on Friday at Honda Center with punches in the face.
"They always remember things," Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "But that's all on an individual basis. Sometimes you forget, sometimes you remember and sometimes you get in a position to hit them fair."
Stepping up
With veteran Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin, 33, out of the lineup because of an upper-body injury, it has created an opportunity for 22-year-old Sami Vatanen.
Vatanen scored a goal in the win at Phoenix, and his job security was enhanced when Sbisa tore a tendon in his right hand while punching Gudas. Sbisa will be out eight to 10 weeks.
"He's a guy that should be playing every day in the NHL," Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy said of Vatanen, noting he's older than fellow defensemen Hampus Lindholm, 19, and Cam Fowler, 21.
Boudreau also said that Vatanen made the team out of training camp and played in the first 15 games before sitting out three of five and being demoted. "He's good . . . an offensive-minded, skilled defenseman," Boudreau said.
Vatanen, from Finland, said he's focused on "just playing my own game and not worrying too much about what's going on" with roster decisions, leaning on his defensive partner, veteran Bryan Allen, for guidance if necessary.
"I just try to do my own thing . . . my strengths of good skating, support the forwards, play good in the defensive zone, move the puck fast," Vatanen said.
Injury update
Allen did not practice Monday and did not travel with the team to Dallas after suffering a lower-body injury in Phoenix.
Goalie Viktor Fasth is sidelined for two to three weeks by a lower-body injury suffered in pregame warmups Friday. As a result, Boudreau said he expects Jonas Hiller, after consecutive wins, to "be our guy for a while," with Frederik Andersen getting a start in goal "this weekend." The Ducks play visiting Calgary at 1 p.m. Friday, and visit second-place San Jose on Saturday.
When: 5 PST.
On the air: TV: NBC Sports Network; Radio: 830.
Etc.: The Stars have played the fewest home games in the league and start a three-game homestand against the Pacific Division-leading Ducks (17-6-3). Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen was 8-3-2 in the team's first 13 games, but he has lost twice in the last week even though the Stars out-shot their opponents.
