I can only remember one incident of sleep paralysis, it was when I was a teenager. It involved demons. See, I had been playing Doom and Heretic for HOURS for the previous few days, and BAM! Sleep paralysis pseudo-dream where I couldn't wake up until I found the switch at the end of the level!! I couldn't move, but knew what was going on. I was able to ever so slightly shift a little at a time and roll off the bed. It took what felt like 5 minutes, but I did it and snapped out of it.
I scaled back a bit on the FPS games after that.

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
@techno: did you actually crawl out of bed, or did you do that in the dream and wake up in bed? Either way, too much video game playing almost always leads to dreams about them.

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
When I (kinda) woke up, I was on my back and already partly hanging off the side of the bed. The best way I can describe it is I was able to *very* slowly... ripple (like a snail) further towards the edge until I finally fell off, for real.
Yeah, I don't really do those video game benders anymore.

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
SpoilerAnd he could see just fine!
I Dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine, you know
I asked him for a lullaby
He said, 'honey, I don't sing no more'
No more, no more, no more
Ray don't sing no more
He said, 'since I got my eyesight back,
My voice has just deserted me.
No 'Georgia on my mind' no more...
I stay in bed with MTV.'
No more, no more, no more
Ray don't sing no more
Then Ray took his glasses off
And I could look inside his head
Flashing like a thunderstorm
I saw a shining spider web
Spider web .Spider web.Spider web.
In Ray Charles' head
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
He took me flying in the air
Showed me my own spider webs
Said, 'honey, you had best take care.
The world is made of spider webs
The threads are stuck to me and you
Be careful what you're wishing for
'cause when you gain you just might lose'
You just might lose your...
Spider web.Spider web.Spider web.
What Ray Charles said
When you're feelin' lonely
When you're hidin' in your bed
Don't forget your string of pearls
Don't forget your spider web
When I go to sleep tonight
Don't let me dream of brother ray
No, no, no, don't
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
Just like him best the other way
Spider web ...
What Ray Charles said...
In Ray Charles head
All I got's my spider web
Keepin' me alive
C'mon Ray

Joan Osborne is a good artist - for the most part. Relish is a pretty damn good album - it has a few duds though and unfortunately, Spider Web is one of them. Can't stand that track.

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
I agree with Dredd and would even go as far as saying that Joan is a better singer than Tom Cruise.
Hmm ...

I had a dream the other night about My Little Pony. >.> Need to lay off the cartoons. <.<

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
First Ponies. Then the other night i had MANY and VIVID dreams. Once again about drill team, then two past classmates who professed their "love" for me (both unexpected) then traveling to a rich side of town in the woods and trying to stay away from a pariah group of Native Americans who worshipped some evil gods who also killed and tortured and raped women and children only. Last night it was about the original Power Rangers and I was the yellow one.
WTF, brain?

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
I love coming back here and reading about the weird dreams I have.
Last night I had two weird ones, but one was way weirder than the other. Ben Affleck wanted to **** me. Somehow, we met. Friendly dude, knew he was married. Apparently, it wasn't going well. There was some groping, but when I said something about romancing/making love, he clearly said, "No romancing. Just ****ing." and I walked away. In the dream, I felt a little hurt, but more proud that I did not sleep with Affleck. I stood up for myself and stood my ground in not being someone's mistress.
The mind has a funny way of dealing with thoughts.

Re: Wierd Dreams Thread
I wish I had more vivid dreams tbh. They can be so fun, or just massive wtf moments, which is still pretty funny.
Actually had one not long ago where my friends forcefully kept me from taking a snus (nicotine prodect you place under your lip). Kinda interesting since I stopped with snus back in May. >_>

Neighborhoods: South Valley, Valley Village
great food ! great interior design ! – I would recommend this place to all you readers ! amazing food !
Best Japanese Restaurant in LA – This just has to be the only good (actually, wonderful) Japanese restaurant left in the LA area. I've been going for more than forty years and have never had anything but a most enjoyable dining experience. I go to dinner at Mikado as often as I can, it's worth the drive.
Mikadon't ! – We've passed by this restaurant many times and being open minded to trying something new and Japanese, we stopped to enjoy an early dinner. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting,decor and bathrooms decorated nicely creating what should be the perfect mood to enjoy good Japanese food. Though other reviewers raved about the Sushi, we chose to order off the menu. To our surprise, the menu was limited and dull. We should have known that the food would be as well. When it finally arrived, it was lukewarm,undercooked and unappetizing. The portions were rather small for Asian cuisine and overpriced as well. We've had better tasting frozen Japanese food from the grocery store. Save your time and money.
In a hotel, but not a hotel restaurant – This place is pretty good. The sushi isn't the best around, especially since "sushi row" is just around the corner. Drinks are good, sushi could be more fresh.
Editorial Review – Japanese fusion dishes and sushi served daily at this longstanding Valley spot on the premises of the Best Western Mikado Hotel.
something to remember – I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl. All I have of it is good memories. There sushi is great! The Sushi chefs are so friendly and have always made friends with us. I look forward to going there every time. The coy ponds and decoration add to the scenery to making it a truly wonderful place to visit. When ever you have a craving for sushi make sure you stop in here!
Not JUST sushi... – This place does an excellent job with cooked japanese dishes in addition to their sushi menu. For cooked dishes, I LOVE the Kurobota Pork Chop. For sushi, the Albacore Crunch Roll is a must (and this is from someone who typically doesn't like the crazy rolls). HAVE YOU EVER HAD ESCOLAR SUSHI??? This is the very first place I tried it and I find myself craving it. It is difficult to find at most sushi restaurants; the only other place that serves it is a small spot on Riverside called Sho, but it is not as good. In terms of ambience, you walk in and find a japanese restaurant, a long sushi bar, a separate cocktail bar area, AND a patio area... so everytime I come here, it can be a different experience (my husband usually likes the sushi bar while my friends will opt for the cocktail bar or this past Saturday, we hung out in the patio... perfect for those warm nights in the valley). From someone who doesn't like their cocktails too sweet, I like the lychee martini (beware: it is not a light pour, but you can ask the hostess to call you a cab home).
Sushi + MaiTais = Deelish! – Everything at this place is delicious! Tasty, eclectic fusion dishes from the kitchen and the sushi bar -- don't miss the kobe beef, crunchy roll, and of course the frozen maitai special. The atmosphere is very chill ... awesome patio area, great tunes playing in the background. Definitely my fave restaurant in NoHo.
Best Sushi in LA! – By far the best sushi in LA! I go to sushi several times a month and this place blew me away. A must try in my book:) The servers were sweet and very attentive. I loved the mai tai's and the environment is perfect for a date or just a fun night out with friends. I love how open the restaurant is, it is nothing like the typical strip mall sushi restaurants. To top it off the non sushi items are awsome as well... My friends and I each ordered something from the kitchen and it was all amazing!!! I was very impressed:) A+++++
Chill Place with Great Sushi & Cocktails! – This is a restaurant that I always passed by and never really noticed, but I went the other day with a couple friends and it was great! The waitress suggested the Albacore Crunch Roll - OMG, Yum! The sushi pieces were sizeable and fresh. We also tried the kobe flank steak which was so tasty. I'm not much of a sake or beer drinker, so I tried the mai tai, which was a slushy, fruity, delicious rum concoction and they were buy 1 get 1 free...sweet.
Overall, the service was really good, the sushi and food were excellent, and it was a really comfortable (big booths, not cramped like some other sushi bars). I don't know what the other reviewer was referring to when she said it was pricey, because we came out of there spending less than $40 each (with tip) and full as can be, which by my standards is cheap for a night of sushi & cocktails. Definitely a place to check out!

The Federal government's immediate response to Katrina was marked by chaos, confusion and utter incompetence.
In the aftermath of the disaster, President Bush and congressional Republicans made many promises to the desperate residents of the region, but most have been broken. Largely as a result, much of the Gulf Coast remains devastated, and residents continue to suffer from inadequate housing, health care and other basic services, and an infrastructure that cannot support badly needed economic development. The Administration has also failed to apply the lessons we've learned to their future disaster planning, leaving the country unprepared for another major disaster. Further compounding matters, the Federal government's response has been fraught with breathtaking levels of waste, fraud, and abuse, the likes of which are unprecedented in our nation's history.

Commission approves Moore's zoning request
Date: December 7, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant & Marina owner Alan Moore said the commission's decision to move forward a zoning request to a second reading will save his restaurant.
But members of the Longboat Key Town Commission have doubts their approval will save one of Longboat Key's oldest waterfront restaurants.
At its Monday, Dec. 7 regular meeting, the commission voted 4-3 to move forward plans for a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a zoning request that would change the land the eatery sits on at 800 Broadway from a commercial-zoned property to residential.
Moore said his 43-year-old business would shut down unless the commission approved the request, because, without it, he said he couldn't get the bank to renegotiate double-digit-interest-rate business loans that are due in January.
"Economic conditions and the changing character of the north end of Longboat Key have created a significant financial burden on the owners of the property," states Moore in his application.
Peter Dailey, the hired agent for Moore's property, told the commission that the rezoning of the property from commercial to residential would allow the owners to continue to operate the restaurant while having a sound financial-exit strategy in place, in case the business is no longer financially viable.
But some commissioners said Moore's finances should not be the basis for granting the zoning request. The Planning and Zoning Board did not recommend the request be moved forward to the commission, mainly for the same reason.
"The Planning and Zoning Board disagreed violently with staff's recommendation," said Commissioner George Spoll, who said he believes the change in zoning will bring an end to the restaurant.
Commissioner Jim Brown agreed.
"If we vote for this, I think the restaurant will change overnight, and I don't think Alan can keep it together," Brown said.
Commissioners Hal Lenobel and Peter O'Connor strongly disagreed.
"We represent the people and their well-being is in our hands," said Lenobel, whose comments were met with applause from the 20 Village residents and business owners who supported Moore at the hearing.
O'Connor noted that all planning has an economic component and reminded his fellow commissioners that The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation-and-expansion project is being proposed based on its economic impact to the community.
Commissioners Spoll, Brown and Mayor Lee Rothenberg voted against the Comprehensive Plan amendment and zoning request. Commissioners Lenobel, O'Connor, Gene Jaleski and Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann voted in favor of the request.
Moore expressed relief that four of the seven commissioners voted to grant the request and told the commission he has no plans to close his restaurant.
"We are putting a lot of money into the restaurant," Moore said. "We're not going anywhere because this is our livelihood."
But Rothenberg questioned Moore's statement.
"What the commission did last night was double the value of Mr. Moore's land, where a restaurant sits that's not doing well financially and will not get better anytime soon during a recession," Rothenberg said. "My guess is we will be swapping a historic waterfront restaurant on this island for two McMansions in the very near future."

This is clearly a defect in the way it was made. The pot metal is so thin around the metal shaft that as soon as you get a little torque they break. All other quick couple bits I own are all one piece. they should replace them with a better quality bit. I will make sure I look at this area of any future bits I buy from any store. The rest of the kit is fine, just the drill bits are defective.

This offers quick release connector to use in your drill. It is so much faster to change bits by simply clicking and releasing the bit or driver you are using and inserting a new one.

i used 4 different drill bits and all of them broke off in the drill. poor quality and will not last

This is a great accessory set for the impact driver. It's set up to hold all pieces in tight, no flopping around and spilling out when you open it. Gives you everything you need to get started and have a plethora of bits and drives.

If you can get only one set of basic accessories for your cordless drill, this is the one. Not only does this have an assortment of bits but also adapters for sockets to extend your drills utility. The quick connector is indispensable once you start using it you won't go back, makes changing bits a breeze. Quality is great & I love the box it comes in, looks super cool. Tip, these come in two packages, the bigger ones are US made others .... you know from where.

I bought this kit for the case and the drill bits, i have the single sides case with 14 drill bits and need some broken ones replaced. Plus i liked the addition of an extra side for more bits and the storage area for screw. So most of this set got taken out but the modular customization of the case is great. Wish you could buy just the case and bit holders somewhere

In this series of tutorials we're going to learn how to create stunning renders for game art using Marmoset Toolbag. We'll begin by learning the interface and how to navigate in the viewport. After that we'll jump into production by learning how to import our 3d files into Marmoset Toolbag. Then, we'll start creating and modifying materials to apply to our game character. After that, we'll push our scenes even further by setting up lights in our scene using the Sky Tool and dynamic lights.
We'll begin to wrap up the training by setting up some post effects like depth of field and bloom to really make our renders stand out. As an added bonus, we'll even learn how to preview animations right inside of Marmoset.

One of the most popular buzzwords in business today is "lean." This term conveys the idea of fat reduction. In industry, fat reduction includes the elimination of enterprise waste, the streamlining of processes to increase productivity and the more efficient use of capital assets and valued personnel in the pursuit of continuously improving the bottom line. There is, of course, nothing new in this concept.
Most of the literature available on lean, however, woefully neglects the importance of the maintenance processes that are relied upon to keep enterprises running consistently, reliably and profitably. The typical lean expert groups maintenance in a bundle with "other processes." Rarely does he/she offer tools that address lean methodologies specific to maintenance efforts.
This attitude mirrors the view of maintenance held by corporate management in general. Although asset downtime disrupts production and drives up both process and per-unit operating costs, executives often lose sight of this because they focus on output—not on the assets used to create it. As one CFO put it, "Companies care about how many widgets they make, not the widget-making machine." The irony is that companies can use lean maintenance techniques not only to make more widgets, but to make each widget more profitably.
When discussing ways to improve maintenance practices, inevitably the discussion splits into compartmentalized topics. The dominant topics typically focus on parts inventory, preventive maintenance scheduling, trade and skill management, tool costs and breakdown management. Yet, the heart and soul of contemporary lean management—be it maintenance or any other endeavor—is the totality of the coverage. Top-down, bottom-up, sideways, the maintenance process requires more than a single approach.
An effective enterprise recognizes the interdependent issues that impact maintenance efficiency and ultimate success. These are addressed by a broad spectrum of solutions. Additionally, effective lean maintenance—like all other areas of the enterprise—requires continuous review, improvement and evaluation.
Gathering ideas
The first step a company must take to accomplish the goal of "getting lean" is to gather all stakeholders together in an open dialogue and evaluation process that covers all aspects of maintenance. This includes bringing in the "customers" of the maintenance process—assemblers, parts storeroom managers, shipping foremen, even product designers and engineers. Each of these individuals sees a different aspect of the maintenance picture and can provide pertinent input.
The overriding aim is to identify problems and suggest solutions. Management participation is essential. Without that buy-in, the effort of organizing for leanness is doomed to failure.
A recent Aberdeen Group study found that more than 70% of survey respondents report that their Maintenance departments function on a stand-alone basis. At the same time, 87% of respondents agree that asset maintenance is very or extremely important to their organization's overall financial performance, but only 7% are completely satisfied with their maintenance performance. [Ref. 1] Without energetic management participation in the "leaning" of maintenance processes, improvement becomes an uphill battle.
Successful meetings will reveal weaknesses in processes, as well as viable remedies and other required improvements. The results of these meetings can be developed into an overarching improvement plan and published to all stakeholders. In addition to setting direction for the team, such publication serves to recognize and reinforce team members' valuable contributions to the improvement process.
Areas most affected
There is no concrete list of typical improvements to revamp a business, since there is no such thing as a "typical" business. Specific areas within the maintenance arena do, though, lend themselves to generally similar examinations.
Technology's role
According to Defense Acquisition University, "The lean model stresses an evolutionary process of change and adaptation, not an idealized technology- driven end state." [Ref. 2]
Keep in mind that lean maintenance is not the same thing as the acquisition of more technology. This is a conceptual error committed by many businesses that make large investments in new equipment, software and hard ware—all in the belief that these purchases will solve their problems. Such a path is counterproductive to the lean model.
Technology does play an important role in the progress toward greater leanness in the maintenance process. It is critical in lean activities such as tracking parts usage and cost trends; automated/tailored parts purchasing; evaluating effectiveness of preventive maintenance and the associated trends in breakdown occurrence; recording of personnel cross-training results; and, especially, the ongoing tracking of lean efforts to document progress, identify areas for improvement and monitor past efforts.
Nearly all successful business enterprises employ enterprise asset management (EAM) software applications. Primarily, these applications manage work assignment through various methods.
Quality EAM offerings provide integration between the maintenance effort and spare parts inventory management. Excellent offerings include a variety of data requirements associated with maintenance activities so that each activity provides building-block information leading to trend and event analysis. The best EAM products integrate storeroom, repair, preventive maintenance planning and purchasing functions with additional lean-oriented technologies, including mobile connectivity, bar codes, radio frequency identification (RFID) and automated communications features such as e-mail, pager and operating screen notifications to key personnel.
The inclusion of key performance measurements within the EAM offering is a must to ensure that leanness goals are met. Businesses also should look for a separate analytical capability that is incorporated within the EAM umbrella. These capabilities clearly contribute both to the streamlining of the maintenance work process and to the gathering of critical performance, cost and productivity information.
With enhanced, business-specific technology and software applications, companies are able to reap the significant benefits of making lean maintenance an integral part of their overall lean business practices. As a result, they aren't just turning out more widgets, they're doing it profitably.
In the end, lean maintenance is really about people, their functions and their contributions to the business processes that make up the associated enterprise. Everyone in the business is a stakeholder. Strong, insightful business leaders will see the benefit of ensuring that every stakeholder is empowered to accomplish lean maintenance goals.

Celtics Morning Joe: Doc wants to stay big when AB returns
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 24, 2012 at 6:00 AM
"I probably would like to stay big," Rivers said. "But I think, again, that lineup will be a lineup we'll use a lot -- the Jason [Collins] lineup. But there will be nights when we will start Brandon against certain lineups."
I'm sorry I strongly disagree with Doc on that. Just stick with Collins. STOP!! Switching starting lineups. You talk about your team being consistent. But your being apart of the problem by changing the lineup night in, and night out.
"I like Collins in the starting lineup, protect KG a little bit," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said last week during on Boston sports radio WEEI. "They're both very smart, savvy, defensive players, and we should get a little more punch off the bench that way."
Danny has figured it out. But he caused a lot of this. I think he had the right idea heading into the season when he signed Darko, and Collins. Darko didn't work out, but Danny wanted to play big, but Doc has played loads of small ball, and the Celtics sit at 13-13. The team points to Bradley like he walks on water. But the reality of it all is unfair. I think Doc will make a move. He has a lot of options, but what team bites at Danny's offers. More than likely the Celtics will have to wait until January 15th when guys like Bass, and Green can be traded.

But who is going to want Bass and Green?
Its not like there bad players. Its just that they don't fit in our system. Maybe Green will fit in a team that's up and coming.

"There were too many people who just felt the golf course was not important to them," said Lynn Stoltz, a D'Andrea resident living on the 13th fairway. "They either didn't golf or didn't live on the course. We fought that battle and we lost."
The D'Andrea Golf Course recently made headlines when a Secret Witness reward was offered for information about the graffiti at the deteriorating course's clubhouse, which now sits empty, covered in spray paint, with many of its windows partially or completely broken. Homeowners who were overruled by the community vote of 1,200 residents said the view from their homes was largely their reason for purchasing a home on the course, and they are now faced with a sickening backyard sight.
"It's definitely depressing to see the course now," said Nancy Maldonado, a nine-year D'Andrea resident. "I know neighbors who are considering moving because of how it looks now. For us, we are making due. We have planted flowers and different things in our yard to help overcome what is behind it. Essentially, that is a Band-Aid. It is a serious eyesore to look at it every day."
The appearance of the course has taken second stage to the safety hazards to residents of homes along the course, including potential fire to the dry grass and weeds. Stoltz said though her home was previously "bombarded with golf balls" during playing days, she wants nothing more than the brown grass to return to form.
"This really was a gem for the City of Sparks," she said. "We would talk to the golfers when they would be outside our yard and they said they loved playing the course. Now, we have weeds growing four and five feet tall in some spots.
"We have been paying our landscapers to go out and trim the weeds behind our property and they have been using mowers lately to get things cut down and removed. We cannot get any answers from anybody about who is responsible for maintaining the property."
D'Andrea Golf Course, which was valued at $11 million in 2007 by Washoe County, was purchased by InSymphony Private Capital for $1 million six months ago at auction. InSymphony, which has refused to comment on its plans for the course, has rumors spurning throughout the community for plans to turn the clubhouse into an event center.
Funding continues to be a question when it comes to the course or the clubhouse, and some residents believed the City of Sparks could purchase the course and maintain it. Assistant City Manager Steve Driscoll said there was a minor conversation about the course years ago, but timing limited funds at the City. Now, the debilitated course is of no interest to the City.
"We had no interest from the standpoint that it was right about the time of the recession. We were downsizing. We certainly didn't have cash to purchase it and we would not have been able to come up with operating expense even if we had the initial property," Driscoll said. "While it was kicked around a couple of times, I don't believe it was anything more than just some casual conversation. It was not anything viable. We were scrambling trying to figure out how to get it done. It was discussed and pretty quickly it was determined not to be an option.
"We continue to have phone calls from concerned citizens and property owners that would like the City to purchase it, but it is private property and there is no reason for us to acquire it at this time. Obviously, it is open space and it would be nice if it was a golf course or some other open space use, but it is private property."
D'Andrea resident and author of a Save D'Andrea website (dandrea2013.com), John Rhoads, has advocated for keeping the golf course since talks of it shutting down began in 2012. Rhoads recently sent a letter to Mayor Geno Martini, addressing concerns about basic upkeep, fire hazards and plans for the clubhouse. Rhoads said in his letter that employees recently working at the clubhouse said InSymphony returned control of the property to previous owner Will Gustafson, who was in control when the $28 fee increase was voted down.
"When they were going for the vote, Gustafson said if it didn't get approved he was going to bulldoze the whole thing," Rhoads said. "I thought that was crazy and I figured it was just a threat. There is too much money in the clubhouse to do that, but that was his threat.
"The day the vote went and didn't go through, and I voted for it, all the employees were let go that day and the flags were still in the holes for few days. It was just done."
Rhoads, among other D'Andrea residents, said the most frustrating part about the dilapidated course's situation is being "kept in the dark" about its plans, whether it be for the clubhouse or the course itself. Maldonado said she and her neighbors want to help keep things looking decent, but they know the property is not theirs to alter. She said it was "putting good money after a bad situation."
Stoltz agreed and said if rumors confirm previous owner Gustafson is in control the future is bleak.
"All we hear is he is saying 'I will fix it up' and try to make everyone happy," Stoltz said. "I don't believe he is actually trying to help the residents because it should never have gotten to where it is.
"When we first started landscaping to help control the weeds, some of the neighbors would come out and ask if they (our landscapers) were with the golf course and start asking questions about the plans for the course. That is an example of how residents are being kept in the loop, which basically is non-existent and that is the frustrating part."

The Big 21!
I turn the big 21 on June 3, and birthdays are always great days. I plan on using my free meal from Mongolians BBQ, one of my favorite places to eat. I suggest everyone join the fan group and redeem the free meal coupon everyone gets for their birthday! I will be unable to celebrate much for my birthday because the Indians begin a six game home stand during my birthday, but the weekend when the tribe is on the road, I definitely plan on celebrating with my friends.
Unfortunately, as you grow older, parents seem to have a harder time buying gifts for your birthday so this year I get to pick out my gift for my birthday. I'm not quite sure what I am planning on buying yet but possibly a new business suit or two. A nice business suit is a must for every college student as a lot of presentations in college require business attire and it also never hurts to look professional even if a business suit is not required.
So far, I have had to dress up on multiple occasions for class every semester … so a suit is a great investment. Luckily, it looks as if the weather will be good for my birthday, which is always a plus, but the best present would be a win from the Indians!

" after we had agreed on a price, he advised us that he had made a math error and recalculated the square footage and the price went down by $100 so that tells you the character of the individual. They were very concerned with protecting the floor and other areas around the fireplace and cleaned up after their work on both days. The two employees that helped finish the job were very polite and a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail was impressive as they weren't just sticking up stones to just finish the job but painstakingly tried a variety of sizes and colors to ensure the finished product looked perfect and had the right mixture of size and color. We couldn't have been happier and would highly recommend "

"k We chose the stone from a book. They arrived on the first work day with all materials and supplies. the walk curved and the elevatipn changed between ends, They installed the walkway with a slight tilt to keep moisture from puddling.They installed and compressed the proper base, stone and crack filler. They did a good job of cleaning up after them selves. It was not their first rodeo. I would recommend them and use them again.
"all work performed went as planned, the craftsmanship is excellent. the owner and staff are extremely professional. would definently use again and will recommend to anyone. i selected them out of 5 vendors.

Dr. Nancy L. Stockdale, University of Central Florida
Mandate Days: British Lives in Palestine 1918-1948. A. J. Sherman. Thames and Hudson, 1997.
A. J. Sherman's Mandate Days: British Lives in Palestine 1918-1948 holds the promise of delving deep into the personal thoughts as well as actions of a variety of Britons living and working in Palestine from the moment of Allenby's conquest until the fateful pull-out from the country in 1948. Indeed, in his Preface, Sherman writes that--unlike most histories of the Mandate, which omit the experiences of the imperialists "as if their presence in the Holy Land, their reactions to it, had somehow been irrelevant"--his book "aims to remedy that omission" and illuminate the variety of reactions Britons had to Palestine and Palestinians. Unfortunately, however, Sherman's study never transcends far beyond an interesting compendium of sources, because he has not rooted these British lives in either a solid theoretical framework nor the historical context necessary for fitting them into the larger puzzle of Palestinian history. The result is a book that makes for very interesting reading, but, in the end, is quite unsatisfying. Moreover, Sherman presents an argument which divorces those on the ground in Palestine running the Mandate from all policy generated from Westminster, casting them as puppets rather than actors and removing them from both contemporary events as well as the aftermath of the British exit from Palestine. This shifts the responsibility for the imperial blunder that was the Mandate away from its actual functionaries, an omission as serious as that which eliminates the British factor and which Sherman desires to rectify.
Using contemporary private correspondence as well as memoirs as his primary sources, Sherman presents his readers with many individual accounts of what it was like to be British in Palestine, and one of the most relevant assertions that he makes is that more Britons in country sided with the Arab cause, despite their feeling that their own government's policy was overwhelmingly pro-Zionist. However, Sherman's lack of theory to inform his analysis--coupled with a tendency to merely list excerpt after excerpt with very little commentary--finds him taking his sources' opinions at face value, rather than interrogating their notions or finding subtext in the silences present. This is particularly problematic when dealing with attitudes about race and ethnicity; for instance, Sherman cites one British officer who found "the Arab" of Palestine "often a bit slippery in his business methods but rather as one playing a game than making any deliberate effort to cheat," while "the Jew in Palestine is inclined to be surly, morose and un-cooperative." (29) This source (and many like it cited in Mandate Days) begs for larger historical integration into the Orientalist debate as well as linkages to race theory and empire, yet Sherman does not even approach the meaning of such attitudes in relation to historical events in Palestine. Indeed, he often dismisses such attitudes with an aplomb which slips (at times) into the realm of the offensive.
Moreover, he sees the English in Palestine as passive victims of the whims of Westminster policy rather than as actors making conscious decisions to live up to or deny previous diplomatic promises made to Arabs and Jews in the years before the Mandate. (Shockingly, Sherman does not even make mention of the Sykes-Picot Agreement nor the McMahon-Husayn Correspondence anywhere in his book, and is only concerned with the Balfour Declaration and Palestine's strategic and religious significance to the Empire on a surface level.) Sherman is not able to tell his readers why those on the ground were more inclined to support the Arab cause despite official policy in favor of the Jewish National Home in part because he offers very few distinctions about the variety of English people in Palestine during the Mandate, nor does he offer an historical context of why the English were able to add the Holy Land to their empire in the first place. Police officers, missionaries, government wives (casually referred to as "memsahibs"), and other disparate groups are all lumped together without explanations about the nature of their contact with Arabs and Jews nor analysis of how these varying contacts affected their political inclinations. This is coupled with no attempt to explain the political or social context of the Arab and Jewish communities, either. Vague references to "the Mufti" and "the Nashashibis" go unexplained, leaving it to the reader to fill in this indispensable historical and political context.
These drawbacks make A. J. Sherman's Mandate Days a book that only provides a passing glance at British Palestine unless the reader is equipped with a prior knowledge of the Mandate sufficient enough to fill in the gaping contextual blanks. However, for those who are acquainted with that history and the sources with which Sherman has worked, Mandate Days is an interesting compendium which should inspire further study of the varied experiences of imperial actors in the Palestine Mandate. Indeed, these sources provide rich evidence for narrowing that ideological chasm between government officials in the Metropole and the servants of the "white man's burden" implementing the dreams of Officialdom. In the case of Palestine, the chasm may or may not have been as wide as Sherman leads his readers to believe; Mandate Days does not provide sufficient analysis to generate an answer to that question on its own. Indeed, without making the connection between Britons on the ground and events in Palestine, Sherman renders them "irrelevant" despite himself.

Height: 5'11" Weight: 190 Age: 25 Experience: 4th season College: San Diego State Drafted: 2011 R3 P18, Chargers
Posted: 10/29/2013 11:46pm et
San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers has been able to trust WR Vincent Brown on contested catches this season. 'I've thrown Vincent Brown a bunch of those balls,' Rivers said. 'It's trusting that he's going to come in there, and he's going to go up high and make a good, tough, catch.'
Huddle Up: Brown, who is tied for third on the team with 37 targets and 26 catches, was a much-discussed comeback candidate but first Eddie Royal and now rookie Keenan Allen have moved ahead of him on the Bolts' fantasy food chain, making him hard to trust in any given week.
Posted: 8/6/2013 11:48pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown (hamstring) was back in full pads and participated in practice Tuesday, Aug. 6.
Huddle Up: This was a glimmer of good news for the Bolts on a day in which they saw projected starter Danario Alexander go down with a season-ending ACL tear. If he can remain healthy himself, Brown figures to be the front-runner to replace Alexander in the starting lineup.
Posted: 8/4/2013 4:05pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown (hamstring) has missed six straight practices and is unlikely to play in the first preseason game.
Huddle Up: Hammy issues and early August go hand-in-hand, but the longer Brown uis sidelined, the more time fantasy GMs have to nitpick the WR's resume and realize he hasn't played in 18 out of a possible 32 games over his 2 NFL seasons.
Posted: 8/1/2013 5:01pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown (hamstring) is not practicing Thursday, July 1, and is limited to mental reps because of a hamstring issue.
Huddle Up: More than a few fantasy GMs continue to rave about Brown's potential, but keep in mind the WR's lingering health issues and (most definitely) his limited sample size: 19 catches in 14 games played -- only 4 of them starts -- in 2 pro seasons.
Posted: 7/27/2013 11:00pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown did not participate in practice Saturday, July 27, because of a hamstring injury. The team believes the injury is minor.
Huddle Up: The issue with Brown has been his inability to stay on the field, so it's frustratingly familiar to see him on the sidelines. Here's hoping the team is correct and it's a minor issue.
Posted: 6/3/2013 11:32pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown is rotating with the starters during organized team activities. Brown, who was expected to have an expanded role in the offense in 2012 before missing the 2012 season with a broken ankle, is expected to have an expanded role in 2013.
Huddle Up: So long as Brown can stay healthy, he should be a high priority in the San Diego receiver rotation. If you can get him at a value--that is, something less than where the hype was pushing him last season--he's an intriguing fantasy sleeper.
Posted: 5/30/2013 11:45pm et
San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Brown (ankle) is expected to be a major focal point on offense this season. He was building a strong chemistry with QB Philip Rivers before his injury, and the two are expected to work on their chemistry during training camp.
Huddle Up: Brown, a third-round pick in 2011, sure has generated a lot of fantasy hype for a wideout who has all of 4 starts and 19 catches in 2 years after missing the entire 2012 campaign. Still, questions abound with the Chargers' receiving corps, and Brown could easily find himself starting with a strong, injury-free training camp.
Posted: 5/21/2013 5:48am et
The San Diego Chargers are taking things slowly with WR Vincent Brown during organized team activities because he is working his way back from a serious ankle injury. He said he is completely recovered from the injury but understands why the team is being cautious. He expects to be ready for the start of training camp.
Huddle Up: Brown was a popular sleeper pick heading into last season, and if he's on the field at the start of training camp he'll likely be in a similar situation as the San Diego receiver rotation remains unsettled.

The interdisciplinary research group in Behavioral Decision Making was formed in 2003. Our purpose is to draw together scholars with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and shared research interests in the behavioral analysis of judgment and decision making.
In so doing, we hope to foster greater communication and more frequent collaboration among participants. Toward that end, we sponsor a research seminar series that meets from 12:15-1:30pm on the second and fourth Fridays of each month during the academic year, promulgate a working paper series, and provide curriculum advice to doctoral students. We welcome participation from all interested faculty and students from UCLA and neighboring institutions.
Co-chairs: Shlomo Benartzi, Craig Fox.
