CHANGED THE PHONE NUMBER 512-821-3188 – Been trying to either get city search to change the phone number or just take the damn thing down as I don't need the headaches from this outfit thats trying to be the NEXT GOOGLE..MY CONTACT NUMBER IS 512-821-3188.. AND THEN THERES NO MORE RUDE AS I DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE IF YALL AE BLOCKING THE CALLER ID.. DON'T TRUST EM THAT MUCH IF THEIR TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING.
Yes this guy is rude – Just tried calling this guy cuz he's in my area. He interrogated me on how I got his Cell phone! which I got from this website. I hung up on him. Rude is definitely the description for this guy.
RUDE!!!! is the word – I echo the statements made before for this guy. This guy is RUDE!!! I wanted to get a quote for installation service for running my home theater and before I even had a chance to give him the opportunity to give me a quote, he said - exact words "you wanna call <company name-blank> who'll want to do it for nuthin." and hung up. That'll be the last time I'll ever call him for anythin'
RUDE! RUDE! RUDE! and by the way, did I mention RUDE?
Just Don't Do It – No reason to go into details, but this is not someone you want doing work in your house, around your neighbors, your kids, your dogs, what have you. Rude is the only safe word I can use to describe here.
Consumer Beware – This guy wrote review to himself! I wasn't satisfy with his work. Get a couple of references. Hire him at your own risk.

|ESPNsoccernet: Transfers
Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has suggested the club would be interested in offering Alessandro Del Piero a future away from Juventus, should the striker leave Turin at the end of the season.
Del Piero, 37, is expected to end his 19-year association with Juve this summer and is heavily tipped to swap Serie A for Major League Soccer.
However, Pozzo believes the veteran forward "would be of great use" to Udinese, with the Stadio Friuli chief revealing he may try to convince Del Piero to stay in Italy.
"We don't rule anything out, especially as Antonio Di Natale isn't exactly a kid and yet he's our top scorer," Pozzo told Sky Sport Italia.
"We also have players like Giampaolo Pinzi and Maurizio Domizzi who are over 30, so our team is a mixture of youth and experience. Udinese pick players based on their potential, their capacity and therefore do not rule anybody out.
"Of course Del Piero is undoubtedly a champion who would be of great use to Udinese, but there is also an economic consideration. He does not fit into the budget of a little club like Udinese.
"That would be the main reason why we don't tend to sign mature champions. He'd do very well here, though, and help the locker room. His experience would be good for the side."
Del Piero's future continues to be the subject of speculation in Italy and, last week, Montreal Impact director Nick De Santis claimed that Del Piero has his sights set on a move to either Los Angeles or New York.
"We contacted Del Piero in January, but he said no," De Santis told Tuttomercatoweb. "He told us that he prefers LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls over us, so we abandoned this option."
Del Piero is comfortably Juve's all-time leading scorer (288 goals) and appearance-maker (700 games), having made his debut for the Bianconeri in 1993.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hearts
Valentine's Day is not really a big-deal holiday to me, although I think it can be a sweet day to remind others that you care about them. Here is a very yummy, sweet treat that you can share with a friend, co-worker, or neighbor to let them know you are thinking of them. Or, make up a big container of them and gift them to someone really special! They are delicious and so cute to boot:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Hearts
1 regular-sized jar of peanut butter
1 stick of butter (or margarine)-softened
3-5 c. of powdered sugar
1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3 T. shortening
**Optional: you can add rice krispies, peanuts, or any other add-in that you might like. I like mine creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and stick of butter. Stir until very creamy. Slowly start to stir in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Eventually you can just use your hands to start mixing it in. You want the mixture to be the consistency of play-doh. It should not stick to your hand at all and you should be able to easily form a ball with it. Once it's to this point, you won't need to add anymore powdered sugar:
Sprinkle a clean surface with a dusting of powdered sugar. Flatten some of the peanut butter dough on this surface, and slowly roll it to about 1/2" thickness (it should be very easy to roll. If not, add more powdered sugar). With a 1-1/2" heart cookie-cutter, cut out the heart shapes:
Place the hearts on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Cover with wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour (if short on time, you can freeze for 15 minutes).
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate morsels with the shortening for 1 minute. Stir and reheat for another 15 seconds, stirring again. Continue to do this until the chocolate is completely smooth and the shortening is melted. If the chocolate seems to thick and fudgey, add a bit more shortening. You want it almost at a runny consistency. Remove hearts from the fridge. Using a large fork, dip the hearts in the chocolate one at a time. With the covered heart sitting on the top of the fork, bang the fork against the side of the dish removing any excess chocolate. Place the heart on the wax paper to set:
White chocolate is another great option with the peanut butter flavor. I also like to take some of the extra melted chocolate and make designs on the already-covered chocolate hearts for a quick added touch. Now it's time to make the hearts presentable! I love these quick little boxes because they're just the right size for the heart candy. Here's the pattern I use (you can print it off and increase the size when scanning):
Make sure to print or trace the design onto a heavy cardstock. Fold at the dotted lines to get this:
You can fill up the little box with Valentine's colored M&Ms or other candy. Then place a homemade heart on top (make sure to put down some parchment or wax paper in the bottom of the box first):
Then I folded up the box and added an embellishment. There's a little spot under the top fold of the box where you can put a ribbon. When the recipient pulls the ribbon out, they can get a message from you:
If you don't have time to make the box, a cute Valentine themed cupcake holder does the job too! Just tie a little cellophane bag with a ribbon around it.:

Audi R8 review
The flagship Audi R8 supercar offers great performance and stunning looks, but running costs are steep
The Audi R8 has been the performance flagship of the range since 2007, aiming to be a rival for the likes of the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
A facelift at the end of 2012 saw the introduction of LED lights, a twin-clutch gearbox and a new high-performance model: the R8 V10 plus. It's based on the standard V10, but has an extra 25bhp, and adds ceramic brakes, sports suspension and additional carbon trim.
The V10 models use a Lamborghini-derived 5.2-litre engine, while the V8 model uses the same 4.2-litre engine as the Audi RS4. All versions offer scintillating performance, and have much of the same everyday usability as their baby brother, the TT.
There are two body styles available - Coupe and soft-top Spyder but only one choice of trim level - which comes with a very high standard specification.
Our choice: R8 V10
There's no mistaking the Audi R8 for anything else on the road. The 2012 update left the rounded bodywork alone, but added new LED lights front and rear.
These bring a hi-tech touch to the exterior, especially the rear indicators, which strobe in the direction you're turning. LEDs in the engine bay are another cool touch. At night, these illuminate the cam covers under the glass engine cover, and make the V10 a real focal point.
The standard R8 V10 looks smart enough, but the V10 plus adds unique alloy wheels, extra carbon fibre trim, including on the distinctive side blades, and a black finish to the exhaust tips.
Inside, the R8 is largely unaltered from when it was first introduced. While the hand-finished interior can't be faulted for build quality, the design is looking old now, especially when you compare it to Audi's latest models.
Sat-nav is standard, but the blocky display is a step behind current systems. Yet it's no worse than the set-up in the Nissan GT-R, for example.
Overall the cabin is still impressive, because it's comfortable and its logical layout and good driving position allow you to make the most of the R8's performance.
Driving a supercar needs to provide a sense of occasion, and the Audi R8 manages this as soon as you fire it up.
It barks into life with urgency and settles into a distinctive rumble. Switch to Sport mode, and the exhaust takes on a throaty sound that turns into a scream as the revs rise.
It doesn't matter which model you go for, both versions of the Audi R8 offer an incredible driving experience. Even the 424bhp V8 manual version accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds, putting it on a par with the Porsche 911 Carrera S.
The 518bhp V10 version does 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, while the V10 Plus with the company's new S tronic seven-speed auto will do the sprint in just 3.5 seconds.
In corners, the stiff suspension delivers minimal body roll, and the steering has good feedback, while the R8 changes direction with immediacy, although it never feels as light or as agile as a Porsche 911. Those wide tyres offer immense grip, too, but they do tend to hunt for cambers.
Visibility is excellent, and with Audi's quattro four-wheel-drive system the R8 feels planted, regardless of road and weather conditions. The system has a rear-bias so the majority of the power goes to the rear wheels during normal road driving.
At low speeds, the R8 is easy to manoeuvre. There's some transmission shunt, but it's nowhere near as bad as in a Nissan GT-R, and we'd recommend the optional front and rear parking sensors.
As a hand-made supercar, the R8 will be built to a higher standard than your average hatchback, and should run like clockwork. Of course, keeping the car regularly maintained will help, but that won't be particularly easy on the pocket.
The Audi has plenty of safety features to keep you on the road, too. Advanced traction and stability control are standard, the rear spoiler deploys at over 60mph, there are four airbags and tyre pressure monitors, while eight-piston calipers grip the standard-fit ceramic discs.
The Audi R8 trails rivals such as the Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 Turbo S for practicality, chiefly because the mid-engined layout means it's a strict two-seater. However, there's lots of space in the cabin, a wide range of seat and wheel adjustment means it's easy to get comfortable, and big mirrors ensure you don't suffer the usual supercar bugbear of limited rear vision.
The glovebox is a reasonable size, there's a shelf behind the seats and the 100-litre space in the nose is useful. It's 15 litres down on the 911's boot, but Audi offers two or five-piece leather luggage sets that are tailor made to fit the available space. Prices range from £1,990 to £4,800.
Running Costs
Day-to-day running costs are hobbled by the engine. The eight or 10 cylinders are constantly taking fuel, as there's no stop-start, but the shift indicator encourages you to change up to a higher gear as soon as possible.
The R8 has a lower list price than the Porsche 911 Turbo S, Ferrari 458 and Lamborghini Gallardo.
All cars come with satellite navigation, 19-inch alloys, Audi Music Interface with integrated Bluetooth, heated seats and all-LED lights.
Depreciation is always going to be a hard hit for a supercar, but exclusivity ensures this figure is kept to a minimum.

The SWITCH bulb demonstrates the way an everyday object can be elevated into art. Carefully crafted with an industrial aesthetic, our bulb is so goodlooking that it might steal some of the spotlight.
The brightest idea in light bulbs in over 100 years. The SWITCH light bulb is a remarkable piece of digital technology. Powered by a unique driver, and tricked out with the most technically advanced cooling system, this is not your grandfather's light bulb. All this, and it's just as easy to screw in.
The shape of inspired thinking. The sculpted curves of the SWITCH bulb don't only look good they're also highly functional. With a metal base that disperses heat and an intelligent system that continually monitors the bulb's temperature, our LEDs never get too hot allowing them to last for thousands of hours.
Fed up with ugly eco-friendly bulbs that give off harsh, unflattering light? So are we. With a SWITCH bulb, you can be energy conscious and still enjoy the soft, warm glow of the light bulbs you grew up with.
The first LED bulb you'll want to live with. The SWITCH bulb was made to match your lifestyle. It fits into your existing sockets and can be used most anywhere you would use a standard incandescent. Use it in any orientation up, down, or sideways for uniform light anywhere you need it.
A light to fit your mood. The SWITCH bulb lets you set the tone for any atmosphere you want to create it can be used with most dimmers, so that you can dial things up or down. Best of all, it casts a generous glow that flatters every skin tone. Our bulbs make you look great. Purr.
A SWITCH bulb isn't a commodity it's an asset. We designed our light bulbs to use minimal energy and last a long time, making them a worthwhile investment. Getting more out than you put in makes this relationship a keeper.
The bulb that pays for itself and then some. Save energy, and make money by getting back an average of $150 over the lifetime of each bulb. With its self-cooling technology, the SWITCH bulb dramatically reduces energy consumption by requiring only a fraction of the power used by an incandescent. That converts to extra cash for you.
A light that won't drain your energy. The SWITCH bulb has an average lifespan of 25,000 hours so you'll rarely have to replace it. Performing a laddertop balancing act to change a bulb doesn't have to be on your regular todo list. Think how much more you can accomplish when you leave your lighting to SWITCH.
When we set out to design a bulb worthy of replacing the incandescent, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We designed the SWITCH bulb to use resources responsibly, making a positive impact on the lighting world and the planet.
Change your light bulbs, not your life. The SWITCH bulb allows you to consume less energy without changing your lifestyle. It may seem like a small change, but reduced demand for power lessens the need for new power plants, and creates a lighter footprint on the environment. Who knew that doing good could be so effortless?
The bulb that has it all minus mercury. The mercury contained in other energy-efficient bulbs may pose a threat to you when they break, and to the earth when it comes time to dispose of them. Bask in the glow of a SWITCH bulb without worrying about chemical emissions. Responsibility never looked so good.

Summary of The Burning of Bridget Cleary Summary of The Burning of Bridget Cleary Reviews for The Burning of Bridget Cleary An Excerpt from The Burning of Bridget Cleary
In 1895, Bridget Cleary, a strong-minded and independent young woman, disappeared from her house in rural Tipperary. At first her family claimed she had been taken by fairies-but then her badly burned body was found in a shallow grave. Bridget's husband, father, aunt, and four cousins were arrested and tried for murder, creating one of the first mass media sensations in Ireland and England as people tried to make sense of what had happened. Meanwhile, Tory newspapers in Ireland and Britain seized on the scandal to discredit the cause of Home Rule, playing on lingering fears of a savage Irish peasantry. Combining historical detective work, acute social analysis, and meticulous original scholarship, Angela Bourke investigates Bridget's murder.Family Tree: Clearys, Bolands, and Kennedys

Sir William Thomson, Baron Kelvin, 1824 - 1907. Scientist 1904
- Scottish Art
This pastel drawing shows William Thomson, first Baron Kelvin, an important British physicist who invented the Kelvin scale of temperature and pioneered sub-marine telegraphy. In 1824 he joined Glasgow University, aged only ten, and later continued his studies at Cambridge, returning to Glasgow as Professor of Physics in 1846. Between 1846 and 1889 he published around 600 papers and created numerous inventions. Thomson is arguably most famous for the Kelvin scale of 'absolute temperature', where zero Kelvin is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. He was knighted in 1866 by Queen Victoria for his research in and contributions to the installation of the Atlantic telegraphy cables, which improved intercontinental communication.

This wily test of intelligence and mindfulness is defined by two characteristics. The first is that most people fail it; the second is a subtle trick intentionally implemented to catch careless thinking (the schoolgirl for example). Narratives in literature and film that incorporate this test go something like this: scores have tried and failed because they overlooked the trick – even though they confidently believed they did not – until one day a hero catches it and passes the test (Edwards). Game of Thrones readers may recall the moment Syrio became the first sword of Braavos. Unlike others before him, when the Sealord asked Syrio about an ordinary cat, Syrio answered truthfully instead of sucking up. (The ending of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade also comes to mind, but this does not fit the narrative for a critical reason. Those who failed did not live under the mistaken belief that they succeeded – they were beheaded.)
Here's my worry. The same thing occurs when lay audiences read books about thinking errors. They understand the errors, but don't notice the trick – that simply learning about them is not enough. Too often, readers finish popular books on decision making with the false conviction that they will decide better. They are the equivalent of Edwards' competition – the so-called best of the best who miss the ruse.
The overlooked reason is that there are two components to each bias. The first is the phenomenon itself. Confirmation bias, for example, is your tendency to seek out confirmation information while ignoring everything else. The second is the belief that everyone else is susceptible to thinking errors, but not you. This itself is a bias – bias blind spot – a "meta bias" inherent in all biases that blinds you from your errors.

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
The improved S Pen goes a long way to making this high-end tablet worth the extra cost, but if you're not sold on the stylus, it's easy to find a better deal.
Pricing not available
A better tablet now than it was last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from Verizon Wireless is unfortunately still too expensive for most.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the best Samsung tablet yet. If you can get over its somewhat high price, it's a sound Android tablet investment.
Though its plastic skin doesn't do its high price justice, Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 makes the most compelling case yet for a supersize phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 delivers everything casual tablet users will need, but it's all tied down to an inflated price tag that makes comparable options more attractive to budget-conscious shoppers.
Not quite a workstation replacement, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an expensive behemoth of a tablet with a vast amount of features that will benefit only the most serious of tablet users.
The AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a quality tablet, but the Nexus 7 offers contract-free 4G LTE support with better performance at a much better price.
Nvidia's new Tegra Note reference design adds an i500 modem to deliver LTE speeds.
Samsung's new 4G phone isn't nearly as powerful as its bigger brothers, but it could get you 4G on the cheap.
Pricing not available
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input.

The Eastern Question in Europe and Asia
In the late-19th century, European politics were troubled by what had come to be called the "Eastern Question," the fate of the 600-year Ottoman Empire. Once encompassing the Ottoman heartland of Anatolia (present-day Turkey), most of the Arab Middle East, and the Balkan Peninsula, by 1886 the empire had shrunk dramatically as a result of wars with European powers, Russia in particular, and revolts by subject peoples. This 1886 map, published in London, shows the Turkish Empire as comprised mainly of Albania, Thrace, Crete, Anatolia, and parts of the Arab ...
Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean Sea
This map of southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean was made early in World War II by Fremde Heere Ost (Foreign Armies East), a unit of the German army general staff responsible for intelligence about the armies of the Soviet Union, Scandinavia, certain Balkan countries, Africa, and the Far East. The map shows country boundaries in bold, dark purple. Also shown are oil pipelines, wells and other sources of water, and important roads, railroads, and canals. Many of the countries of this region were involved in the war. Italian and ...
The Near and Middle East: Balkan Peninsula
This map of the Near and Middle East was compiled in 1940 by the Geographical Section of the General Staff of the British Army and published by the War Office of the British government in 1941. The map shows topographic relief by gradient tints and indicates railroads, principal roads, secondary roads, caravan routes and tracks, the names and boundaries of provinces and districts, and deserts, rivers, swamps, and other topographic features. Towns and cities are classified and shown by categories, from first (capitals) to fifth in importance. Also shown are ...
General Map of the Turkish War Theater
This map, published in Berlin in July 1916, shows the Turkish theater of World War I. It is based on an 1884 map in French of the Asian provinces of the Ottoman Empire by German geographer and cartographer Heinrich Kiepert (1818–99). The map contains additional notes in German and its coverage of existing and projected railroads is updated to 1916. The Ottoman territories, shown in pink, include present-day Turkey, Cyprus, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, as well as Saudi Arabia. The Ottoman Empire, or Turkey as it was ...
The Historical Theater in the Year 400 AD, in Which Both Romans and Barbarians Resided Side by Side in the Eastern Part of the Roman Empire
This map in Latin by the great French mapmaker Guillaume de L'Isle (1675–1726) shows the eastern parts of the Roman Empire circa 400 AD and the territory of adjacent tribes and kingdoms not under Rome's control. The latter include the Sarmatians and the Scythians, peoples that the Romans regarded as barbarians. Arabia is shown divided into its three traditional divisions, Arabia Petrea, Arabia Felix, and Arabia Deserta. Qatar is indicated as "Catarei." The eastern part of the map shows the empire of Alexander the Great, including Persia ...
Map of Asian-Eastern Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, and Arabia
This map, published in Paris in 1842, shows the Asian provinces of the Ottoman Empire, Persia (present-day Iran), Afghanistan, and the Arabian Peninsula. The map appeared in Atlas universel de géographie ancienne et moderne (Universal atlas of ancient and modern geography) by the cartographer and engraver Pierre M. Lapie (1779–1850). Lapie was a member of the corps of topographical engineers in the French army, where he rose to the rank of colonel. He eventually became head of the topographical section in the Ministry of War. He was assisted by ...
Central Asia: Afghanistan and Her Relation to British and Russian Territories
This 1885 map shows Asia from the eastern littoral of the Mediterranean to western China and the Indian subcontinent. An inset in the upper right depicts the region in the broader context of Asia, Europe, and Africa. A focal point of the map is Afghanistan, where, in what was called "the Great Game," the Russian and British empires competed for influence throughout most of the 19th century. The British feared that the Russians, who annexed large parts of Central Asia in the 1860s and 1870s, would use Afghanistan as a ...
Stanford's Map of Western Asia
This 1885 map of Western Asia shows the region from the Mediterranean Sea to British India, including the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula. This region was at the time under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the west, independent Persia (present-day Iran) in the center, and independent Afghanistan in the east, with the Russian Empire to the north. Relief is shown by hachures, and the elevations of lakes and inland seas are given in feet (one foot = 30.48 centimeters) above sea level. The map indicates pilgrimage routes ...
General Map of Central Asia: Schematic View
General-Karte von Central-Asien (General map of Central Asia) is a large, detailed map produced in 1874 by the Military Geographic Institute of Vienna. The map is on 12 separate plates, numbered I–XII; a 13th plate gives an overview and a numbered guide to how the parts fit together. The map covers a huge expanse, bounded to the northwest by the region of Russia north of the Caspian Sea; to the southwest by present-day Saudi Arabia and Oman; to the northeast by western Mongolia; and to the southeast by Gujarat ...
Iran and Turan: Persia, Afghanistan, Baluchistan, Turkestan
This map of Central Asia appeared in the 1839 edition of Stieler's Hand-Atlas über alle Theile der Erde (Stieler's portable atlas of all parts of the Earth), edited by Adolf Stieler and published by the firm of Justus Perthes in Gotha, Germany. The map was compiled and drawn in 1829 by Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Berghaus (1797−1884) and updated by him in 1834. The numbered key in the lower right-hand corner of the map indicates the states of the region as they existed in 1834. They included the ...
Maps of the Middle East and the Near East
Shown here is a large folding map produced by the General Staff of the German Army during World War II. Notes on the map indicate that it was solely for use within the army and that reproduction was prohibited. One side is a large map of the region stretching from the Balkan Peninsula to the eastern part of Iran. Shown are towns and cities by population size, international borders, the borders of republics and provinces within the Soviet Union, major and secondary roads, roads under construction, oil pipelines, mountain passes ...
The Empire of Alexander the Great and his Campaigns in Europe, Africa, and Particularly in Asia
This map, published in Paris in 1712, shows the expeditions and empire of Alexander the Great (356–323 BC), in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The circular inset at the top shows the three continents. The numbered notes in the lower right refer to Alexander's campaign on the banks of the Hyphasis River (now known as the Beas River) in northern India, which is shown on the far-right side of the map. The long note in Latin in the upper right-hand corner summarizes Alexander's career and conquests, which are ...
The Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918) was a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual empire governed by a dual monarchy that exercised Habsburg rule across Europe's second largest sovereign territory. Although considered a Great Power in the concert of European nations, the empire was internally divided by internecine quarrels among its national minorities and ultimately broke up under the strains of World War I. This 1906 Rand McNally map shows the empire in the decade before its dissolution. William Rand founded the company that became Rand McNally in Chicago in 1856, initially to print guidebooks ...
Ethnographic Map of the Balkan Peninsula
The dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of World War I transformed the political organization of the Balkans. The war had started in the Balkans with the assassination of the Habsburg Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a militant Bosnian Serb seeking independence for his country from the dual empire. Jovan Cvijić, the author of this "ethnographic map" of the Balkans, published in 1918 by the American Geographical Society of New York, was a professor of geography at the University of Belgrade. Cvijić completed his doctorate at the University of ...

It could be lots of things. Plastic cable guards or torque arrestors could have come loose. If the wire wasn't coming up exactly with the pipe, the wire could be folded over and wedged beside the pump. It could also be collapsed or broken casing.
Try pulling up while using a pipe wrench to turn it to the right, not the left. Sometimes that will roll it out of broken casing.
Without dropping in a camera to see what is going on, we are just guessing.
These are the kind of jobs where a professional can really earn their paycheck.

AUSTIN -- Hundreds lined Congress Avenue to catch the annual Republic of Texas Rally in Austin.
Police shut down 20 blocks downtown for the event.
"It's lots of fun. It's just a great atmosphere," said Carolyn Reininger.
The events bring in thousands of visitors to Austin to enjoy restaurants, bars and bike shops.
"It's the largest motorcycle rally in the world," said Dean Groh.
So many people in one place can prove challenging for police. They're reminding drivers and pedestrians to use caution.
Bikers tell us this is one of the safest rallies of this kind they attend all year.
Everyone agrees on one thing, it's noisy.
"Oh, it's pretty loud," said Jack Cee.
"It's loud. Very loud!" said Carolyn Reininger.
Police will enforce no tolerance all weekend for drunk drivers from Friday until Sunday at 5 a.m.

Ana Bossman of Yorktown, third from right, and her teammates on a Virginia Beach-based squad took second place in the 2012 USTA Adult League Nationals for 4.0-rated women in Tucson, Ariz. (COURTESY OF ANA BOSSMAN / October 22, 2012)
Yorktown's Ana Bossman helped a Virginia Beach-based team place second in the USTA Adult League 4.0 National Championships over the weekend in Tucson, Ariz.
Her team won three matches — all by 3-2 scores — in pool play, and she went 2-1 in doubles in that span.
Sunday, she didn't play in her squad's 3-2 semifinal victory over Southern California, and she and Tracy Johnson fell 6-2, 6-3 at No. 3 doubles in Puerto Rico's 3-2 triumph for the championship.

Technical report Frank / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Fachbereich Informatik und Mathematik, Institut für Informatik
Year of publication

- On correctness of buffer implementations in a concurrent lambda calculus with futures (2009)
- Motivated by the question of correctness of a specific implementation of concurrent buffers in the lambda calculus with futures underlying Alice ML, we prove that concurrent buffers and handled futures can correctly encode each other. Correctness means that our encodings preserve and reflect the observations of may- and must-convergence. This also shows correctness wrt. program semantics, since the encodings are adequate translations wrt. contextual semantics. While these translations encode blocking into queuing and waiting, we also provide an adequate encoding of buffers in a calculus without handles, which is more low-level and uses busy-waiting instead of blocking. Furthermore we demonstrate that our correctness concept applies to the whole compilation process from high-level to low-level concurrent languages, by translating the calculus with buffers, handled futures and data constructors into a small core language without those constructs.

Well I sent this today in light of a continued lack of response:
If I do not hear from you over the next 5 days I am going to be processing an ICC, Internet Crime Complaint.
Basically -
The IC3 was established as a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to serve as a means to receive Internet related criminal complaints.
The IC3 accepts online Internet crime complaints from either the actual victim or from a third party to the complainant. They will process your complaint if they receive accurate and complete information from you.
This was Paypals suggestions if you did not meet your end of the deal, I have given you plenty of time, and have heard enough false claims (by you) that it has been shipped.
Moving forward you can choose from the following:
1. Either respond to me, ship my undershirt, and communicate the tracking number to me.
2. You can refund $100 to my paypal account -
3. I will process my claim and press legal action.
I will be sending this message to all available forms of communication:
-Your Ebay Account
-Your Facebook Accounts
-Voicemail, as you don't seem to answer the phone number given
This is most unfortunate and not what I wanted at all.
Please let me know which step you would like to take. I know I prefer number one.

Man, what an unfortunate hassle. I am so sorry my friend. I wish I could do more to help! This whole thing is just so messed up. Definitely get the word out to any who might fall into this trap again (it's a trap!), no matter how she replies. This is such a catastrophe, it breaks my heart.

Good News!
It did the trick!
"Look,your shirt is being shipped out today tracking number 03110820000187600580,my customers usually wait because they like my work however you dont have to buy from me again if you do not like to wait. eva"
Well I don't plan to buy again, and I will try and warn those I can that what they can expect is a "wait", and to not expect any communication.
What a dramatic ordeal. I really didn't want this to be my first impression given. Alas. Well on a brighter note as soon as this arrives I will get some pictures and rock some events with all of you!
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement thus far. I can't wait to get to know you exceptionally kind people better!

That's kind of a snotty reply, given that you had been told multiple times that your items were on the way. Least she could do is say, "Hey, I'm a bit backlogged, so it may take longer than I thought." If she'd communicated that, there would not have been an issue.

Well, I am SO glad this is finally getting resolved! Seriously, this should never have taken so long. And I agree, her response is rather snide; you can almost picture her with her hands on her hips while she says that. Very unprofessional.
Go ahead with your letters and stuff. When my dad has customers for his tailoring, yeah, it can take a long while, but that's why he sends progress reports and keeps in very constant communication with them to make sure they are always up to date on progress. Just because "her customers like her work" doesn't mean she can fail to communicate with you at whim; in fact, that's a pretty ludicrious response. How unfortunate.
In any case, hooray for you! I can't wait to FINALLY see all of your costume come together!
