Cleaning Electronic Boards
How do I clean a circuit?
I have a gas stove with an electronic control pad that has been stored for more than three years. We moved into a house where we can have our stove again, and everything works except for two buttons. I took the circuit board to inspect, and it is covered with bug remains and crud! I'm sure if I can get the crud off the circuit board, the buttons works again. But I do not want to damage the card in the process. Suggestions? I went to Radio Shack and bought a box of their own contact … NOT CHEAP! At nearly $ 12 for a small box (10 oz), I hope it works! If not, I'll go with alcohol Friction instead (this volume is much cheaper!) I'll let you know before I choose the best answer.
In any electronics store you can find a Contact Cleaner spray. It is inexpensive and leaves no residue in the circuit. The liquid evaporates almost instantly, and can be put into service as soon as you get together.

One of the observations that is absolutely unarguable about this posting site, so I assume others as well, is that Republicans never, and I mean never, talk about Republicans. Candidates, ideas, platform, organization. solutions. Nothing. Ever.
Two questions arise from that observation.
1. Why the lock step consistency? I can only assume that they get their ideas and "orders" from the same source and through the same channels.
2. What is that they are trying to avoid by not talking about republicans?
Again, I can only assume. The only answer that makes sense to me, from reading their dogma, is that they, in reality, have only one plank in their platform and it is that which must not be named. Redistribution of wealth upwards.
Now, perhaps there was a time in history where that would have been a good thing. I can't think of any in US history, but I could be wrong.
But, now, they've been wildly successful at doing that for a long, long time. So here's where we are:
Again, real, unarguable data.
But, even in the absence of that data it's clear that they've gone so far as to kill the golden goose for everyone.
Our economic success has always been based on capitalism, and that has always been based on the motivation that comes from being rewarded in proportion to your success at creating wealth.
The question is what if that cause effect relationship is broken.
Now we know. For quite a few years, the wealthy, who do not create wealth, are getting wealthier. The middle class, which does create wealth, have not shared at all in an amazing demonstration of productivity increases that they achieved.
Now we see the economy that results when we are no longer capitalistic.
I would say, so far, no surprises at all, except:
Obviously, the wealthy can see the current data that demonstrates a dysfunctional economy.
Yet they can't help themselves from continuing to want to redistribute the minor wealth that they don't already have, even at the expense of their future wealth.
The whole republican play going on in DC now issues many words, but they all boil down to this. Leave in place the historically low bargain basement capital gains tax which benefit only the wealthy. It is the magic source of wealth redistribution even though it clearly has driven US indebtedness beyond what in anybody's mind is affordable.
It's that simple.

Is it time to stop subsidizing the suburbs?Nicole Goodkind at Daily Ticker18 hrs ago
More than ever Millennials and baby boomers are ditching their spread-out suburban lives and packing it in for the city.
Columbia Professor Vishaan Chakrabarti wrote in a New York Times Op-ed last week that lower crime, better schools and more parks are making cities increasingly appealing while the difficulties of attaining mortgages and car loans, combined with a new environmental and social consciousness, make suburban living seem retro and ill-fitting for today's society.
Professor Chakrabarti, author of A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America joined the Daily Ticker to discuss what he calls the "beginning stages of a historic urban reordering."

A new frontier for Silicon Valley: The marijuana tradeBernice Napach at Daily Ticker19 hrs ago
It looks almost like a marriage made in heaven: Liberal entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are starting companies that can profit from the growing marijuana trade. "The entire tech-industrial complex is getting in on the action: investors, entrepreneurs, biotechnologists, scientists" and more, writes Mat Honan, senior writer at WIRED, in his latest story "High Tech: How Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are rushing to cash in on cannabis." Related: Grover Norquist wants "tax equality" for marijuana industry
These entrepreneurs include manufacturers of vaporizers such as Firefly and UpToke, which allow pot smokers to inhale vapor instead of smoke; software makers including MJ Freeway and Agrisoft, which track pot sales and inventory; and the Stanley Brothers — Jared, Jesse, Joel, Jon, Jordan, and Josh — who operate medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado in addition to a nonprofit that produces a strain of medical marijuana.
Is there anything wrong with a $1,000 per day prescription drug?Lauren Lyster at Daily Ticker21 hrs ago
Gilead Sciences (GILD) reported earnings after the bell Tuesday and blew through estimates, driven by $2.27 billion in sales for its new $1,000 a day hepatitis C treatment Sovaldi, which is believed to be the best-selling prescription drug launch in history, according to the Wall Street Journal.
U.S. economy "not out of the woods," says former Fed vice chairAaron Task at Daily Ticker21 hrs ago
When U.S. first-quarter GDP numbers are reported next week, economists aren't expecting much, with estimates ranging from 1% to 1.5%. Update: A sharp drop in March new homes sales Wednesday morning prompted greater concern about first-quarter growth; in reaction, Goldman Sachs downgrade its Q1 GDP forecast to 1.4% from 1.9%.
But the consensus is for a big rebound in the rest of the year, with estimates of 3% for the second quarter and 2.7% for the full year, according to a Bloomberg survey. That's consistent with the "central tendency" of Federal Reserve board members, who are expecting a 2.8% to 3% growth rate for all of 2014.
But one former Fed official isn't so sure.
"I certainly think there's going to be a rebound from the first quarter [but] to make a 3% year...we've got to do a lot better than 3% in the remaining three quarters and I"m just not quite that optimistic," says Princeton professor and former Fed Vice Chair Alan Blinder. "I just don't see where the growth is going to come from."
It's put up or shut up time for AppleHenry Blodget at Daily Ticker22 hrs ago
Apple (AAPL) reports earnings Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street is not expecting particularly impressive results. The focus of most Apple investors appears to be on the new products Apple is expected to roll out in the second half of this year.
And those products are indeed critical for the company and its stock price.
Related: Apple is too big to keep a lid on the rumor mill anymore — Here's the latest
A few years ago, Apple was one of the greatest growth stories in the stock market. For more than a decade, the company astounded Wall Street with one smashing quarter after another. Eventually, Apple's lead in smartphones and tablets seemed insurmountable, and Apple's stock price soared above $700 per share.
But then the premium smartphone market hit maturity, and smaller, cheaper tablets began to gobble up more and more market share.
And now Apple is no longer a growth company.
Working on Wall Street is 'a dystopian nightmare': Kevin RooseNicole Goodkind at Daily Ticker1 day ago
Characters like Jordan Belfort (the DiCaprio-depiction) and Gordon Gekko fill the big screen and young minds with dreams of Wall Street grandeur and luxury. And maybe once-upon-a-time working for a big bank was full of such excess, but today, says Kevin Roose, it's less about a spoil of riches and more about long hours and thankless work.
Roose followed eight young Wall Street hopefuls over the course of three years for his book "Young Money." What he found was that the job wasn't quite what they expected it to be. "It wasn't anything like The Wolf of Wall Street," he says.
"It was like a dystopian nightmare. They got there and were immediately thrust into these jobs where they were working sometimes 100 to 110 hours a week. There's a thing called the bankers 9-to-5…where you show up for work at 9am and you don't leave until the next day at 5am."

The top Hollywood deals negotiated by actorsMorgan Korn at Daily Ticker1 day ago
To make it far in Hollywood, one needs talent, looks and a good agent. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars have been able to secure multi-millions for movie projects that otherwise would have netted them only a small fortune. Take A-list celeb Sandra Bullock, for instance. Her Oscar-nominated performance in "Gravity" earned her rave reviews...and an estimated $70 million paycheck. Bullock was paid $20 million upfront for her role in Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller and then received a big cut of the movie's box office receipts; "Gravity" took in $710 million worldwide.
Bullock's decision to forgo her usual salary in exchange for back end points is not unusual: Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks have also reaped huge financial rewards for clever contracts.
"If you're really an A-list star and you've got negotiating clout...you can share in the pot of gold," says Adam Markovitz, senior writer at Entertainment Weekly, in the video above.
Housing is in danger of overheating again: Zillow's Stan HumphriesNicole Goodkind at Daily Ticker1 day ago
Home values in more than 1,000 U.S. cities are expected to surpass their pre-2008 levels within the year, according to a new report released today by Zillow.
"It's definitely a mixed bag of news," says Humphries in the video above. "On the one hand you're happy that home prices are recovering so nicely. On the other hand home values were definitely overvalued in 2006 and the fact that just so shortly after the greatest housing recession of the century we're already seeing a lot of metros return to their peak levels is a sign for how robust the recovery is...but some markets are definitely in danger of overheating again."
Related: Momentum may be changing in the housing market: Robert Shiller
He continues: "In some markets, people are spending more of their incomes on a mortgage than they did during the 15 years before the housing runoff," says Humphries. "Broadly speaking though, at a national level we think homes are still very affordable."
How income inequality can lead to more financial crisesBernice Napach at Daily Ticker1 day ago
There is "absolutely no doubt" in Thomas Piketty's mind that increased inequality in the U.S. contributed to the financial crisis that slammed the housing and financial markets in 2007 and 2008. The author of this year's hot-selling economics book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century,writes, "One consequence of increasing inequality was virtual stagnation of the purchasing power of the lower and middle classes in the United States, which inevitably made it more likely that modest households would take on debt, especially since unscrupulous banks and financial intermediaries .... offered credit on increasingly generous terms."

Travel >The New Yorker Hotel New York Hotels
481 8th Avenue, New York, NY | Directions 1000140.752579 -73.993182
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Garment District
best hotel in NYC.. – In all categories!! Friendly staff,rooms clean and....WHAT a view!!!!We'll gladely come back and that soon!!! Thank You New Yorker for wonderful 10 days stay at Yoru hotel!!!
worst hotel in nyc – the staff is realy rude and all the time ask for tip and the hotels room are too little and stink and the hotel its too crowded and the maid stole us money we left at our room
NIGHTMARE! Look the other way and keep on going..... – We stayed there Feb 13th for our Valentines this year and needless to say our holiday was ruined! The staff was so rude we wanted to leave before we even got into the room. If we hadn't scheduled the room through Expedia and would have lost all our money, we would have. Our room was paid for through our travel website and then they demanded a different credit card for "incidentals" than the one we paid for our room with. When we said we didn't have one, they refused to let us check in. We found out that part of the hotel was under renovation. Not the part we were in, we were in the old part. When at the front desk, they asked the guy next to us if he wanted a "renovated" room for an additional $70 bucks! For a renovated version of we were already getting!!! When we asked if we could have a renovated room, they said to call Expedia. So we did. Then the front desk said there were none available. Convenient!
Finally, through the manager we got into our room. I wish we hadn't. While walking to our room, we notice that the hallways were all in disrepair. Our room, a standard room, was one step above a section 8 motel. An old comforter that smelled, and the carpet was dirty. We asked for 2 towels and 2 additional pillows at 5pm in the evening. I never got them. I had to got take them from the maids cart that was sitting in the hallway all night at 2 am. When I checked out at 7 am the maid's cart with dirty linens was still sitting in the same place in the hallway. Also we NEVER got a Wi-Fi signal which would have been crucial if we would have been there for business.
Just don't bother staying there, unless you are looking for severe disapointment and substandard staying conditions...even if it was just for one night.
Average place-no surprises – Stayed there with a friend 2 years ago.
Good hotel, very old but clean, big room, never had a need for the service, it was more "in at midnight>sleep>out a 8-breakfast outside".
The beds are ok, noisy if you don't like the city (I'm from Paris so I'm used to it).
Panoramic views and a popular spot for coffee. – The Scene
Guests at this midtown lodging spin through the revolving doors to be greeted by high ceilings and huge chandeliers. When the property opened with 1,000 rooms in 1929, it was the biggest hotel in the world. Today, it's a luxurious landmark where tourists come to sleep and New Yorkers come to sip coffee at the in-lobby cafe, or eat at one of the two restaurants attached to the building.
The Details
This hotel offers a number of great services, some of which are only accessible to those staying in the more posh rooms on floors 38 through 40. But even without the in-room wireless Internet access and free breakfast that come with the pricier options, this place still offers plenty to keep guests satisfied. Cable TV, ironing boards and air-conditioning are among the usual set of services.
One of the Best – This was the second time we stayed at the New Yorker, first time was great, but had no view. This time we were pleasantly surprised with a great view of the Empire State, and Madison Square Garden. The room was very clean, and the maid service was excellent. All staff are very polite and couteous. My only gripe is that the shower wasn't very hot.
Very Nice – Loved it! From check in to check out the staff was nothing but excellent. The room was small, but it's New York, all hotel rooms are. Very clean, well done, definetly stay there again. Highly recommend.
No View if you're unlucky – We spent a week at the New Yorker in an excellent location. The only gripe I have is the view, which was of nothing but other rooms as we were put in an inside room, which was very disapointing for a hotel which sells itself on city views.
I just came back form a business trip and was extremely disappointed with my hotel accommodations. The service was embarrassing - front desk service was rude, kept me on hold for longer than 5 minutes, and disconnected me twice.
I requested a hairdryer one night and one woman from housekeeping knocked on the door the next morning around 8:30 demanding it back?
After I checked out I had to check my bag and the bellmen tried to charge me again when I came to pick up the bag. (checkout is noon: 1:00 checkout = $35 anything later = $75) My billing is incorrect and there were a number of other things that went wrong.
For the same rates, there are a number of better hotels in the area with much better service and amenities. My only regret was not leaving after the first night.
New Yorker – If you're the kind of person for whom the hotel is a large part of your vacation - don't stay here.
If you're the kind of person for whom a hotel room is just somewhere to put your luggage, rest at night and take a shower as the rest of the time you'll be out - stay here.
I think as long as you know what you're getting, it's fine. It is well located and the staff friendly, if fraught. (I was checked into a room that already had people in it, which was actually quite funny, although the reception lady couldn't actually bring herself to apologize.)
The only BIG downside is the unbelievably paper thin walls. I've stayed in some dollar-a-night places in India and Africa, and in terms of wall-thickness this ranks WAY DOWN there with hovels in Delhi or Nairobi. For goodness sake - BRING EAR PLUGS!!!

However once you use the older filters you are back to the same small preview window, limited control and a break in the UI theme. The filter gallery is especially annoying. Jumping in and out of it with the current UI really provides a bad experience switching between the dark gray and back to the light gray background. This is very straining on the eye. especially for those that work in dim conditions.
Additionally, lack of color highlight on tool selections makes it harder to visbily track current selections in the UI. Its harder with the darker UI. Having a user specified color selection (yellow, blue...) would be an added welcome.
Overall I appreciate they effort but I would like to see CS6 move towards a comprehensive experience. Great job and I look forward to the next build.
Thanks for the feedback. Tackling every last pixel of our UI was a bit too much to do for CS6, but continuing improvements to our UI is on our radar.
So I'm assuming this public beta is more of a GM trial. Things are locked and you're just looking for show stopper bugs? Thats a shame. Was really looking forward for a more unified new CS experience.
Yeah, we won't have time for doing major work like that at this point. Sorry.
It's a bit of both. We're always welcome to suggestions. We'll make changes that make sense and the time we have left in development.
I can understand the delicate balance between release updates and dev time. However since CS6 has such a deeper UI switch, I would have thought the extra effort to create a unified experience would have been on top of the list. That being said, I hope you guys get to tackle as much of it as possible. The new filters are welcome, but some of the older filters are in need of a more interactive control system along with a new UI that consistant with the one currently offered.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I feel CS6 has 2 sides to it. Not something I like to have in the software I use. Makes things feel like they are tacked on.
Please explain why the ui on recent adobe applications is taking a "backseat" to actual features:i.e first photoshop elements now photoshop.
Does adobe want people to actually see the interface without eyestrain?
One can hardly tell when something is highlighted in the new cs6 ui no matter what ui selection is choosen in the preferences.
Yazan, you might want to change your user name to something else than an email address, to avoid spam.
Jeep57, could you post actual examples of areas that you have a hard time to see highlighted. Without a clear example, the team can't do anything.
Jeep57. Yes. People have asked for the ability to change the darkness of the user interface to match their working environments. The interface should be more or less the same contrast as CS5 if you select the lightest option in Preferences>User Interface... - are you saying that you're having a hard time seeing UI selections with this option enabled?
In regards to UI selections, I think tool selection in CS5.5 was on the average range in terms of visual feedback. It was the greatest, but it was not the worst. In CS6 due to the darkened UI, the tool selection visual feedback is worst IMHO. Not when you look at it but glancing at UI elements is very different than looking. I know I can revert to the old UI color but I for one prefer the darker UI. However due to the change in color, the tool selection could use some color highlighting. If you take a look at other dark UI programs such as Luxology's modo you'll notice the feedback is much more clear. there are apps that use the same principal. The images I show are a crop of the Full UI. Looking at an almost 2k screen, tool selections get lost
Regarding my screen name. I would love to change it but Adobe ID isn't taking the changes. It keeps my email address even though I see my screen name has changed. I tried resolving the issue via chat but no luck. I'm suppose to hear from Adobe on the matter. I agree, I didn't want my email to be used as a screen name and I was not given that option on registration. It hapenned by default which isn't really good.
The surrounding environment affects how you perceive color. This includes the environment of your app's interface right up to the image you are working on.
If you adjust a photo with a bright UI and bright background (stage, canvas, whatever) and then plop that image into a dark website you'll be shocked at how different it will look.
Being able to adjust the color and brightness of the UI helps you to adjust an image in a similar environment to where it's headed.
And it looks cool, too.
^^^ agreed however LR, ACR and CS6 should all have the same UI adjustment capabilities.
"Being able to adjust the color and brightness of the UI helps you to adjust an image in a similar environment to where it's headed."
Maybe, but a totally monochromatic UI does nothing for productivity (including excessive eyestrain from complex, miniscule menus). Neither does changing stuff because it "looks cool". I'd prefer the option to preserve those little hints that are instantly recognizable from previous CS versions.
You can also try to uncheck the enable text drop shadows from preferences>interface to see if it helps for you.You can also change the text interface size, but that's not new, so I guess you already know it.
i think the 2 lighter UI's need much more contrast. like CS5
i would help usability alot for those (me) who do not like the 2 darker UI's
It would be great if the Windows application frame would match the Bridge UI just as in Photoshop. Has that been given any consideration?
Its a fine line between aesthetics and functionality. I would like to be able to maintain a dark/light UI BUT what we really need to start:
1- A uniform UI experience. It needs to propogate to those old filter/tool UIs
2- Slight (preferably user defined) color indication on tool selections.
3-Minimize leaving the canvas. Going into little windows and gallery browsers is a distracting issue IMHO. This is 2012, we should be able to do it right there in the canvas just like After Effects can do it. It feels like PS is still using plugins to get the job done instead of native tools.
I expect when Adobe touts its horn on UI as a feature in an upgrade that they do so with the knowledge that this feature will be scrutinized. If it was a little switch hidden in the preferences then I can understand the current state of affair. I'm not critisizing the developers, as I know that they have schedules and deadlines to adhere by and I'm sure they are more than capable given the time. But someone needs to be making those decisions in the managmenet chain at some point and they need to understand the importance of UI experience.
+1 for this thread
It is a shame the liquify tool and Camera RAW panels were not updated to the new darker UI when they were redesigned for this release. I realise it is probably too late for changes on this scale to make this release but I hope the UI team will focus on updating the UI on these old Photoshop tools, as a priority and provide this as an update rather than make us wait for Photoshop CS7. I personally find it harsh on the eyes switching from the dark interface to the lighter one of these old tools.
Please, a uniform color interface between Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop ! And also more contrasted logos on the buttons under dark interface.
@Yazan : Totally OK with you : we need a uniformed interface look (either dark or light grey) in all panels : Bridge, Camera Raw, Photoshop (all panels of it).
Without such a uniform color interface, I won't buy.
The no-thumbnails verison of the layers palette is so watered down that it's non-funtional in an effecient environment.
I can't even see colors on vector shapes any more???
I don' t know if it's the green shape, the red shape, or the orange shape.
And I just can't take the time to title every vector shape.
Yeah the jist of this discussion is that while new features are great, for people using this tool dain day out, being comfortable trumps the minimal upgrades. I stare at a computer screen all day long. I don't to add eye strain to my tool box. Will also skip till they get it right. Other may need the new features too much to do that. I currently don't. Its nice, but I'll wait for CS 6.5 or something.
I agree, I can't encourage my company to upgrade our stations if Adobe takes away the things that made Photoshop efficient.

SHERMAN, Texas - Country singer Randy Travis pleaded guilty Thursday to drunken-driving after a bizarre incident in Texas.
Travis received two years of probation and will have to spend time at an alcohol treatment facility. Under Texas law, the charge is a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Travis was naked when he was arrested following a single-vehicle accident Aug. 7 near Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Authorities have said his blood-alcohol level was more than 0.15. The legal limit for driving is 0.08.
Travis' spokesperson said in a statement:
"Randy Travis is moving beyond the matters of 2012, and looking forward to the opportunities ahead this year, including his concert tour that will begin on March 1st. He is inspired and encouraged by the continued support of his friends and fans."

Power added, "Concurrent with John's start as Executive Vice President-General Manager of South Florida, we will also be elevating Barry Zeidwig to Executive Vice President-General Manager of North Florida, effective January 1, 2012."
Regarding his appointment, Wittig commented, "I am grateful for the opportunity to lead the South Florida Sales and Marketing team. I look forward to building on the excellent foundation that Richard Booth has developed in the marketplace." Wittig added, "I plan to leverage my experiences from the past 24 years; however, I do realize that each market has its own unique characteristics and will require a fresh approach to succeed."
Wayne Chaplin, Southern's President & Chief Operating Officer, added, "John has proven himself to be a great builder and leader of high-performing teams. He has displayed that within the markets that he has led as well as across markets on corporate strategic projects.

we have a lot of very good things going on in Athens--always have in my opinion--but I have a feeling these younger players are sensing it as well
An impressive group of young men to be sure. Wonder how many of them expected to have to wait in a line like that upon arrival.
I'm not one to post on fashion but why would anyone wear orange to that event and why do CMR and CMB have on long sleeves?

UK Government Licensing Framework (PDF, 0.15Mb)
1 Introduction to the UK Government Licensing Framework
The UK Government Licensing Framework (UKGLF) provides a policy and legal overview of the arrangements for licensing the use and re-use of public sector information both in central government and the wider public sector. It sets out best practice and standardises licensing principles.
The UKGLF sets out the Government's guiding principles for licensing the use of public sector information. These are:
- simplicity of expression - the terms should be expressed in such a way that everyone can understand them
- non-exclusivity - so that everybody can use and re-use the information
- fairness of terms
- non-discrimination - terms are extended fairly to all for similar uses
- the need for acknowledgment and attribution
- the need for transparency by publishing standard licence terms
The UKGLF provides a coherent standard approach to licensing through a portfolio of licensing solutions developed to cover the following situations:
- free use and re-use for all purposes, both commercial and non-commercial - the Open Government Licence
- free use and re-use for non-commercial purposes only - the Non-Commercial Government Licence
- where charges are made for the re-use of information, particularly in the context of s102 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 which amends s11 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Charged Licence
In addition, the UKGLF provides guidance for public sector bodies as to the terms and conditions which should be included in a licence where charges are applicable. It also highlights some of the issues that public sector bodies need to take into account in such situations. This guidance is not intended as a substitute for independent advice and public sector bodies should seek their own legal advice before drafting a licence for situations where charges are applicable.
The UKGLF also identifies licensing solutions that can be adopted for licensing the use and re-use of software and source code.
1.1 Who should read this?
The UKGLF has been developed in order to meet the needs and interests of:
- the public, including community groups and social organisations
- the information re-user community, in both the private sector and in civil society
- public sector Licensors and Information Providers
Through the UKGLF the government:
- directs central government departments and agencies
- strongly encourages Information Fair Trader Scheme (IFTS) members
- invites the wider public sector
to adopt:
- the policies and principles set out in the UKGLF in their licensing activities
- the Open Government Licence as the default licence for public sector information that is available for use and re-use free of charge
in making public sector information available for use and re-use.
1.2 ScopeThe UKGLF addresses the use and re-use of the following types of information:
- non-personal information subject to copyright and database right that is collected and produced by government and the public sector and which is published or accessible under access legislation such as the Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental Information Regulations (much of this information will be accessible on public sector web sites or already published by the public sector)
- previously unpublished datasets released by the public sector on portals such as data.gov.uk
- original and open source software and source code produced by the public sector or commissioned under Framework 1 of the NESTA agreements (see glossary) or similar agreements
- datasets released under s102 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
1.3 Status of the FrameworkThe UKGLF will evolve to include additional guidance and licensing solutions, as the Government's approach to licensing the use and re-use of public sector information develops. We welcome comments and views about the UKGLF and its licensing solutions. Contact The National Archives at email@example.com.

CLK 320 - Love It! by Brittany on 02/07/2009. Trim: 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK CLK320, Owned 1 year.
Pros: For an '01, the styling is great! I bought mine used and it's in great condition. I love the leather and how comfy the seats are. Haven't taken it on any long trips yet but so far so good. The sunroof is amazing - I NEVER hear it! I had an '06 Pontiac G6 that the sunroof was useless on.
Cons: The only thing I really don't like is that the six disc changer is in the trunk of the car.
Overall review: I think it's a good, solid car. I would've liked to have gotten the newer body style but this one is just as nice. I think I'll be keeping it for a while :]

Going to the Philadelphia Caribbean Festival every year was intended to make up for not having the state fair easily accessible. This was a great event that I attended for years. I'll be missing it this year because we've moved.
But when I was a kid, we'd anticipate this day almost as much as we did Christmas and Easter (almost). The night before, our parents would have a really hard time getting us to sleep. We'd jump on the beds and screech and giggle well into the night until we finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
In the morning, the first one up would get the other siblings up and we'd all run downstairs in our pajamas. If our mom was up already, which she did about half the time, she'd be fixing us breakfast and admonishing us to be quiet and let our dad sleep in, since he worked hard and weekends were his time to catch up on sleep.
That didn't last long.
We'd be so loud that there was no way he could sleep anyway. He'd come out in his pajamas and robe, rubbing his eyes and growling at us. We'd all pretend to be terrified of him but we knew he was just kidding.
Getting dressed was probably the easiest day my mom ever had it. Usually she'd have to fight us and beg and bribe us to get into our clean clothes. This day we'd be in our clothes and shoes in no time flat. We'd rush downstairs and stand by the door while our parents got ready. They were always kind of slow so we'd get bored standing there and eventually turn on the TV to watch cartoons, but on this Saturday it'd be with one ear cocked for the tell-tale sounds of our parents coming down the stairs.
We'd drive to the fair, and my dad would always drive around and around trying to find a parking spot, because he refused to pay for parking (one of his quirks). Finally when he'd find a spot it felt like we'd won the lottery.
My mother would put a thick red strand of yarn around our wrists to help keep tabs on us. We'd get on the side of the streets to watch the parade and plot our day. My brother and I liked the rides, while my sisters liked the games and weird things. The one thing we all agreed on- the food! It was so good. Greasy, disgusting, and wonderful. My favorites are funnel cakes and crawfish sandwiches. My parents liked the Caribbean jerk dishes and the girls liked the peas and rice and roti.
I remember when we all started to feel we were too big for the "children's section" and wanted to not be seen there with the "babies" on the "baby rides".
One of my favorite things to do was watch the maypole dancers. They had a huge pole with pretty ribbons and dancers would around each other and wrap the ribbons around the pole. They'd give lessons too, and my mom would do them. I always thought she was so pretty when she was dancing.
We'd stay all day, not wanting to leave when it was over. Even though we were exhausted and slept on the way home clutching our ropes of licorice or cotton candy cones, all night long we'd dream about the festival and how we couldn't wait to go back next year.
