Some Buddhists will have serious issues with the christian associations with that style of music of course. Folk tunes are also potentially a great resource - much of Vaughan Williams' work comes from that background.

I've been curious about this same idea as well. I don't read or speak Sanskrit. A friend told me that it was necessary for me to do so for me to access the 'true spiritual energy' of the Sanskrit syllables and English couldn't do that. I think the teachings can have great meaning when read in the language we can read and speak.
When I was first introduced to the Chenrezig compassion / 6 syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum"
I just followed along and it 'felt good' to do the chanting. I later learned that vibration of chanting in the brain has scientifically proven effects which are positive to the brain. But I still wondered how much of the teachings about the mantra was just dogma / religious tradition. I wondered if some aspects of mantras was just a cultural or ritual tradition and what be most beneficial to practice?
I understand that part of the mantra is aspect of 'enlightened sound' and how sound is experienced simultaneously with emptiness. It also makes sense to me is how this mantra can represent the essence of the core teachings of the Buddha. It acts as a key memory link (mnemonic) to the teachings. It's helps to 'chunk' the complex and almost infinite volume of teachings into a small manageable bit easy to remember.
The repetition helps to embed it deep in the unconscious memory. When we experience stress and seek refuge in meditation and return to chanting the mantra, it leads us back to the teachings that it represents. What a beautiful thing! Rinpoche taught that it is the buddha in mantra form. This makes sense in a way. And that it can be chanted to rid oneself of the defilements and purify the mind.

This is from the Great Compassion Repentance, the basic tune is quite repetitive, while the lyric content changes.
But, this is still in Chinese....

This is the standard "Dedication of Merit" song for the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. I've sung it more than a few times myself, when staying with them, and have it memorized -- but little opportunity to use in Taiwan... Though, I don't think it's Christian. If I recall correctly from talking about this with Ven. Heng Sure, I think the tune comes from some 60s (or maybe 70s) folk song.

Budget and Spending:
Understanding Similarities and Differences Between Accrual and Cash Deficits
GAO-07-117SP: Published: Dec 1, 2006. Publicly Released: Dec 1, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
- E-Supplement (PDF, 4 pages)
(202) 512-9142
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Two key measures that have been used as indicators of the government's annual fiscal condition are the unified budget deficit measured primarily on a cash basis and the net operating cost measured on an accrual basis for financial statement purposes. The unified budget deficit has historically been the focus of budget debates and media reports in part because it closely approximates the government's short-term borrowing needs. Cash accounting can also be useful for controlling spending in the current year. However, the cash measure of fiscal condition, which is similar to keeping a checkbook, by nature excludes information about the long-term consequences of today's policy decisions and operations. Indeed, understanding our nation's long-term fiscal outlook is important because, as GAO's long-term simulations show, current fiscal policy is unsustainable. The accrual measure primarily provides more information on the longer-term implications of today's policy decisions and operations by showing certain costs incurred today but not payable for years to come, such as civilian and military pensions and retiree health care. While cash and accrual measures each serve different purposes, they present complementary information and can be used together to provide a more comprehensive picture of the government's fiscal condition today and over time. The goal of this primer is to improve understanding of the accrual deficit by describing (1) how it is similar and different from the more commonly reported cash budget deficit, (2) the key drivers behind changes in accrual deficits relative to cash budget deficits, and (3) how the two measures complement each other and give a fuller picture of the government's overall fiscal condition. In addition, see GAO-07-341SP for updates to selected information in this document.
Throughout this report, we primarily used data from the Financial Report of the United States Government, referred to in this report as the Financial Report, which is prepared by the Department of the Treasury, in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget. However, the reader is cautioned not to focus on the precise amount of the accrual deficit, its components, or their change from year to year because significant issues regarding the reliability and presentation of the federal government's financial information still need to be addressed. GAO is responsible for auditing the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. government, but we have been unable to express an opinion on them because the government could not demonstrate the reliability of significant portions of the financial statements or that the reconciling differences between accrual and cash deficits were complete. The primary reasons for this disclaimed opinion are described in this primer. The Financial Report can be found on the Department of the Treasury's website at http://www.fms.treas.gov/fr/index.html. Information on the most recent President's budget can be found on the Office of Management and Budget's website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/. This primer is structured in a question and answer format. The key questions are shown at the top of each page. To find the answers, flip to the page with your question highlighted. For easy reference, key terms are defined in the glossary located in appendix I--these glossary terms appear in bold type the first time they are used in the text. Many definitions come from A Glossary of Terms Used in the Federal Budget Process. Other related GAO products are listed at the end of this report. Unless otherwise indicated, the years referred to in the primer are federal fiscal years, which run from October 1 through September 30.

Water is always the cause of mold and mildew, but finding the source of the problem can seem like an unsolvable mystery. Follow our tips for using some handy gadgets and basic detective work to find and eliminate your mold and mildew problems for good,.
If you see mold near water pipes,
waste lines, icemaker lines or plumbing
fixtures, chances are the mold is
feeding off a nearby leak. Let the
water run while you check the pipes
and surrounding area for damp spots.
Remember that water can travel in
any direction—down, sideways or
even up when it wicks into absorbent
material like drywall—so the actual
leak may be some distance from the
Mold can be an early warning sign of a
moisture problem inside walls or ceilings
that could cause an expensive problem
like wood rot. Avoid the temptation to just
wipe the mold away and forget about it—find and stop the water source.
If mold is growing on an exterior wall
or ceiling, first look for a leak in the wall
or roof. Measure from the moldy area
to a reference point like a door, then
find the spot on the other side of the
wall or ceiling.
Closely inspect nearby vents, roof
flashing, decks, window wells and anywhere
wood is rotting. Look for ground
sloping toward the house and downspouts
emptying next to the wall. If the
ground around the house gets too wet,
moisture will wick into the foundation
or slab and become persistent dampness.
If mold forms on the ceiling under a duct or register and
there's no sign of a roof leak, badly insulated ductwork may
be the cause. Warm, moist air condenses and forms water on
ducts carrying cold air through the attic or crawl space. The
condensation is a sign that the duct is uninsulated or missing
a vapor barrier. Eventually the water saturates the insulation
and drywall and mold spores (which are everywhere)
take root.
In cold weather, the reverse happens. Moisture forms anywhere
warm air escapes—for instance, at unsealed joints
between duct sections.
Most mold is unmistakable, but sometimes
small or largely hidden growths just
make a surface look dirty.
For a quick test, dip a swab in diluted
bleach (1 part bleach, 16 parts water) and
dab it on the wall. If the spot quickly
lightens (or keeps coming back after
cleaning), assume it's mold.
Mold test kits are available that detect
the presence and identify the type of
mold, but they won't help determine the
cause or what to do about it.
If you need to build or rebuild an
area where moisture has been a problem,
use materials that resist mold
growth and aren't affected by
water. Construct walls with
pressure-treated wood and
rigid insulation and cover the
walls with paperless drywall,
which has nothing for mold to
feed on.
In areas where mold
might grow, such as basement walls,
spray the surfaces with an antimicrobial
treatment. Paint walls with
mildew-resistant primer and paint or
add mildewcide to your paint.
Warm air seeks gaps in the insulation,
and when it hits colder surfaces as it
flows out of or into the house, water
condenses—which then feeds mold.
These spots often occur on outside
walls near floors or windows, at corners
and around outlets and lights. If
the mold disappears after cleaning it
and lowering indoor humidity with a
dehumidifier or vent fan, just keep an
eye on it. If it recurs, open the wall and
fix the problem.
To prevent mold around the tub or shower,
spray the wall
with an antimicrobial treatment, then
seal the grout with two coats of grout
sealant to keep water from wicking in.
If the mold is extensive and tiles come
off, rebuild the wall with cement board
tile backer and new tile.
If the wall is sound but the mold
stains won't go away, try
regrouting. Scrape out the caulk
and stained grout, spray the wall
with antimicrobial treatment, regrout
and caulk and then coat the whole
wall with grout sealant.

I forgot to mention that our big concern is whether or not this mildew/mold is harmful to our baby. How can we find that out when we can't go buy a mildew testing kit here? A simple way is the only way to go here since we live in a developing country.
May 12, 3:33 PM [GMT -5]
Hi! My husband and I live in Madagascar. We just noticed that we have mold or mildew (not sure of the difference) in our baby's room. The wall has a lot of moisture but we are not sure where it is coming from especially since our walls are made of cement. What is our next step in finding the underlying cause because things that get "fixed" here are only bandaids?
November 21, 11:33 PM [GMT -5]
Hi panvanchan, I've been spraying a mixture of 1 part baking soda and 3 parts vinegar onto my wooden chopping board when it's clean and dry to prevent future molds. And so far, it has been working for me. Thus, it should work for your wooden windows too. However, I agree with this article that you need to find the root of the mold problem and tackle it from there. Perhaps you could replace the rubber seal with a plastic one as water runs off its surface more smoothly, thus disallowing the wooden edge to absorb moisture (either from the shower or outside rain) and hence preventing mold.

We have seen it many times. An owner or family goes away for a period of time, whether a few days or a few weeks. They return to their home to find that their home smells like mold. There is no apparent source of water, but the smell is noticeable, and the owner has just concerns regarding the cause.
Mold growth requires an event to have occurred. This event may be major and obvious, or something that requires a thorough exam to determine what exactly happened. If the event is substantial, like a broken pipe, hot water heater, or a/c condensate leak, the inspection is pretty quick, and the answer definitive. There may be noticeable water damage and with a dwelling closed up for a period of time, the smell of the resulting mold growth can become concentrated and very noticeable.
There are other times, however, when there is no obvious sign of water damage, but yet there is a definite smell of mold. In this case, a more thorough investigation might be required. A moisture meter is typically used to moisture map the building or infrared photography can be used to locate moist, or cooler areas of building components. All this is done to find hidden moisture and mold. Sometimes a leak under a kitchen cabinet might allow water to remain trapped under the cabinets or tile. Sometimes a leak from the outside results in moisture that is contained behind baseboards. Wood or tile flooring can conceal water, and wet carpet from a slab leak might not be obvious. Leaks in A/C ducts could cause excess condensation in ductwork and leak into attic spaces. The investigator is looking for wet material, and the source of the water that caused it to get wet. In each of these scenarios, you may never see the water, but you smell the mold.
A qualified restoration company might well find the cause of the moldy smell, but sometimes they are stumped. In this case, you might call a "Mold Assessor". If a mold assessor is called in for the investigation, he will be looking for all of the above once again, and then probably take air samples from the suspect room or rooms, as well as an air sample from outside the dwelling for a comparative analysis. He might also take a sample from a part of the dwelling that does not have that moldy smell. The object of this inspection would be to determine if you have an elevated airborne mold condition in your home.
If an undetermined water leak is suspected, you could call a "leak detection" specialist. Some plumbing companies have the equipment and expertise to do this, but many plumbers use specialists themselves. A very small leak in a pipe is often difficult to find. Sometimes the pipes need to be charged with compressed nitrogen. When this gas leaks through a break in a pipe, the noise is detectible with the use of sound monitoring equipment. Leaks that are difficult to find are often detected using this method.
If there is even a small amount of water intrusion into a property, and if the relative humidity goes up, and exceeds 65%, and if the temperature inside the building becomes elevated, there is the potential that a serious mold condition could develop. In such a situation, mold growth could be observed growing on anything organic in the building. Once these conditions occur, the whole property is usually treated for the mold contamination, and many content and porous items may be deemed unsalvageable.
Mold can remain dormant in a building for many years, and remain inactive until it becomes wet again. If it remains dry and dormant, it will not smell. The smell of mold is the result of the off gassing of the mold, or fungi, digesting whatever it attacks.
The State of Florida now regulates the mold inspection and remediation industry. It is important to know that if you hire a "Mold Assessor" or a "Mold Remediator" to perform services, you should verify their licensing credentials.

Hi, any tips for effective cleaning of mold off wooden windows, such as on a bathroom window along the wood's edge where there's a thin black rubber seal before it meets the glass pane? I've used dish soap & water, but am wondering if there's a better way.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
6 Guitars
Your Rating
Orlando performer Chase Padgett impressively portrays a half-dozen guitarists from different genres and celebrates the common note that binds their need to play music.
His proficiency on guitar is matched by detailed characterizations of players as diverse as an octogenarian Alabama bluesman and a 20-year-old headbanger with a preference for "music that chews your face off."
Each explains the life-changing power of music, with the most poignant tale coming from the folkie Peter, who recalls first picking up his beloved uncle's guitar to sing You Are My Sunshine at his funeral.
Padgett easily transitions between the six guitarists with distinctive voices and mannerisms that always make it clear who is talking. Padgett's tasty guitar solo earns applause no matter your musical preference.
- Kevin Prokosh
(Review based on a show seen at an Ontario fringe festival in June.)
From the Fringe program:
1 performer becomes 6 different guitar players each with their own voice, views and music (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Classical, Folk and Country). Each character shares their humorous and heartfelt songs and stories as the show reveals how music brings us all together.
5 Stars "Chase Padgett's Six Guitars is nothing short of a storytelling masterpiece. The play will leave you doing two things: laughing until you cry, and lifting your jaw to its proper position." - The Edmonton Sun
Director: Jay Hopkins
Cast: Chase Padgett

Would You Rent Out Your Car for $15 an Hour?
Car owners are driving down expenses by renting to strangers.
Dylan Rogers drives a BMW 6-series convertible, but when he's not on the road, chances are a stranger is behind the wheel of his car.
Rogers, a Chicago resident, rents his car out to people through RelayRides, a San-Francisco based startup that launched in Boston in 2010 and expanded nationwide in March. The company is a peer-to-peer car-sharing business, meaning car owners list their vehicles on its website and rent them out to people by the hour, day, or week. Its sales pitch: When you're not using your car, why not make money off it?
That question may register with more people today, as the cost of owning a car continues to increase. According to AAA's annual Your Driving Costs study, the cost of owning and operating a sedan in the United States increased by 1.9 percent from 2011 to 2012, bumping up the average cost to $8,946 per year. For SUV drivers, the annual cost has risen to $11,360.
Before starting the company, founder Shelby Clark was using car-sharing programs like Zipcar to get around Boston, but he says car sharing had its limitations. He often had trouble finding an available car nearby. In 2008, after he was forced to bike in the harsh Boston winter to rent one, he says he had enough. "I wanted to take the benefits of car sharing and make it more accessible to more people in more areas," Clark says. "How would you do that? You don't need more cars. You need to leverage the resources the communities already have."
That's how RelayRides's peer-to-peer car-sharing model originated, and it has been gaining momentum over the past two years. Competitors such as Zimride, Getaround, and JustShareIt have joined the car-sharing platform, but RelayRides is currently the only company with a nationwide presence. Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Los Angeles are the three markets that generate the most revenue.
Car owners who register on the website set the price for their vehicles. The average rate is around $8 an hour or $40 a day, which is approximately 40 percent cheaper than Zipcar and 20 percent cheaper than a traditional car rental like Hertz or Enterprise. While the car is rented out, RelayRides covers the insurance, providing comprehensive and collision coverage up to the actual cash value of the car, plus a $1 million liability insurance policy that protects the owner against claims for third-party injuries and property damage. For car renters, the company adds $300,000 of liability coverage to the driver's existing insurance policy.
Still, even with that safety net, owners must be comfortable with the idea of handing their keys over to a stranger. Edward Salwin, a software developer in Washington, D.C., says he had reservations about sharing his car with people he doesn't know. He expected interpersonal issues, but says the process for the first rental went much smoother than he thought it would, and he's encountered only a few problems since then. "Someone left the sunroof open one time and the inside of the car got wet, but there haven't been any major issues," he says. Car owners have the right to turn down a rental request at their own discretion.
The bigger risk for car owners is if the liability coverage doesn't provide enough protection. As The New York Times reported in April, a RelayRides renter crashed the car into another vehicle and died on impact. The injuries sustained by the four people in the other car could have exceeded $1 million—potentially putting the RelayRides car owner at financial risk.
In addition to the possibility of such an accident, Clark says the company is aware its peer-to-peer model won't be a good fit for certain car owners. "RelayRides is not for everyone," he says. "There are a lot of people who aren't comfortable renting out their cars, and that's OK."
Rogers says he makes about $1,200 a month by renting out his BMW through RelayRides. To reel in renters, he promotes the car on Facebook and Craigslist, and placed a RelayRides emblem on the car. He retains customers by offering them discounted future rentals, and is even considering buying a second car to rent out through RelayRides.

When it comes to underrated Pokemon in the Little Cup metagame, Bagon is one Pokemon that instantly comes to mind. While it is a Dragon-type Pokemon, which is a rarity in the tier (they are only five legal Dragon-type Pokemon in Little Cup), Bagon is by far the most overlooked. While most Dragon-type Pokemon tend to be Dragon Dancers or just powerful physical attacking Pokemon in general, this isn't the case for Bagon. While it does have a decent base Attack stat of 75, offensively, Bagon is outclassed. This is because its two main competitors, Dratini and Axew, have better coverage and a much higher Attack stat, respectively. Nevertheless, Bagon has a niche over its Dragon-type counterparts by gaining access to a move many Little Cup Pokemon wish they had, Wish. Thanks to Wish, Bagon becomes a durable Pokemon capable of tanking the hardest of physical attacks in the LC tier. However, it isn't all great for Bagon. Because Dragon-type Pokemon sport resistances to a lot of usually specially orientated attacks, such as Water and Fire, its low base Special Defense doesn't help when trying to tank attacks from the special side. Nevertheless, Bagon is a good Pokemon if you need something to heal your team and tank hard physical hits, but don't expect it to do too much.
This is Bagon's only viable set in LC, and just like its evolved form Salamence in OU, this set is used to not only heal itself and its team with Wish, but to tank attacks as well. While it doesn't have the biggest HP stat to pass Wishes with, its typing gives it useful resistances to common offensive types such as Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric, which gives it its niche. Dragon Claw is used for damage purposes, as well as to prevent Bagon from becoming Taunt bait. Fire Blast hits Steels, mainly Magnemite and Ferroseed, that will try to use Bagon as setup bait. Protect is used to ensure Bagon gets the recovery from Wish, and it also works with Toxic Spikes as it stalls out poison as well. However, if you aren't concerned about getting guaranteed recovery from Wish, Toxic can be used over Protect, as it breaks down Pokemon such as Mienfoo, Hippopotas, Murkrow, and others.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
While it has other offensive options, Bagon is usually better off not using them. Part of this is because by using offensive sets, it takes away from Bagon's usable bulk. Nevertheless, if you choose to use Bagon offensively, Dragon Dance or Hone Claws with Dragon Rush can work. However, Dratini and Axew make better Dragon Dancers. A Choice Band set can also work with Outrage, Dragon Claw, Fire Blast, and another coverage move, though Axew makes the better Choice Band user due to better Attack and Mold Breaker.
Checks and Counters
While Bagon is good at tanking physical attacks, without Roar, it can't stop Pokemon from setting up on it. Scarggy can set up for days unless Bagon has Brick Break. Shellder and Clamperl can set up a Shell Smash on it and begin to cause problems. In general, anything that can tank an attack from Bagon can set up on it pretty easily. Misdreavus can just burn it with Will-O-Wisp, making its physical attacks useless, while Hippopotas can easily Roar Bagon out, which screws up the Pokemon that Bagon passes its Wishes too. Ice Beam Staryu can take hits and also Rapid Spin away entry hazards, which Bagon hates.

Daily Joke
A rabbi, priest, and a preacher meet every Monday in a coffee shop to talk things over about their spiritual life.
One day, the priest makes a bet with the other guys that he could convert a bear in the woods over to his religion. The others nod and say "Yeah, I'll bet we could do it quicker than you could!"
So they all agree that the next time they meet, they'll share stories about how they were able to convert a bear.
They all end up in the hospital, but the priest is in the best shape of all of them. They decide to meet in the rabbi's room. The priest has his arm in a sling and says, "Yeah, it was tough at first, but I was able to dash it with some holy water. The next thing I know, it started saying Hail Mary. He's coming to mass this Sunday."
The other two clergymen nod in approval, and the preacher goes next. The preacher is in pretty bad shape. He's in a wheel chair, and he has a concussion, a broken leg, and a broken arm. He says "Well, when I finally happened upon it, I wrestled that thing to the ground and started beating its head with a Bible. So he lunges at me and we tumble down this hill into the river where I dunked him seven times. Finally, he came to the faith. He'll be coming to church next Sunday."
Both men turn to the rabbi to hear his story. The rabbi looks like he got the worst of it. He's in a body cast and there's no way he's getting out of bed any time soon. He looks at both men and says "Well, I probably should've started with something different than circumcision...."

AVMA and AAEP urge strong enforcement of Horse Protection Act at Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration
(SCHAUMBURG, Illinois) August 22, 2012—The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) urge veterinarians, owners, trainers, riders, event spectators, media and the public to redouble their efforts to identify and report sored horses at this year's Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in Shelbyville, Tenn. This includes reporting suspected soring activity in barns and training facilities in the Shelbyville area.
The AVMA and AAEP are urging vigilance because of concerns that sored horses will be participating at the Celebration.
For more than 40 years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has worked diligently to enforce the Horse Protection Act (HPA), which prohibits soring. The USDA recently took another step toward ending soring by instituting mandatory penalties for violators.
SHOW, a horse industry organization (HIO) that will be inspecting horses during this year's Celebration, is one of three HIOs for which the USDA is pursuing decertification, citing failure to comply with USDA mandatory penalties.
Despite SHOW's claim of a 98.5 percent compliance rate with the HPA at events they inspect, USDA swab tests on 52 horses at the 2011 Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration resulted in 52 positive findings for foreign substances.
According to the USDA, 37 of the 52 horses tested positive for one or more anesthetic agents. Anesthetic agents are frequently used to mask pain from soring during inspections.
In addition, three of the seven individuals listed as judges for this year's Celebration have been cited for soring violations in years past.
"Soring is a federal crime in addition to being a felony offense in Tennessee," said Dr. Doug Aspros, president of the AVMA. "It is up to each of us—veterinarians, inspectors, judges, owners, trainers, riders and even spectators at these shows—to take responsibility for ending soring. There must be zero tolerance for this abuse. While soring clearly violates the Horse Protection Act, failing to report soring is also ethically and professionally indefensible. We urge anyone with concerns to contact the USDA and local law enforcement officials."
To heighten awareness and address failures in industry self-policing, the presidents of the AVMA and AAEP are issuing a joint call-to-action encouraging all veterinarians to aggressively identify and report violators of the Horse Protection Act and supporting strong USDA enforcement.

The AVMA, founded in 1863, is one of the oldest and largest veterinary medical organizations in the world, with more than 85,000 member veterinarians worldwide engaged in a wide variety of professional activities and dedicated to the art and science of veterinary medicine.

A husband-and-wife team sell to customers in The Badlands
As we pulled into the driveway at our first stop of the day, Linda noted how much the place had changed since they were here last year. "You stop here once a year?" I ask. "Yep," says Bill. "We'll restock his shop supplies for the year." "Do you have other customers like that...

As we pulled into the driveway at our first stop of the day, Linda noted how much the place had changed since they were here last year. "You stop here once a year?" I ask. "Yep," says Bill. "We'll restock his shop supplies for the year."
"Do you have other customers like that?"
Bill replied: "All of 'em." Linda clarified: "Oh, some of them stop by the store once or twice, but 95 percent of our customers we see only once a year. That's why it's better to bring it out (to them) … because they can run in to their shop to see if they need something rather than being in town and trying to guess."
Store on wheels
Independent distributors Bill and Linda Assman (pronounced 'Ozzman') sell tools, shop equipment and shop supplies to farmers and ranchers in South Dakota -- all of South Dakota. Their warehouse/store is in Pierre, the state capitol, but they run the business out of a 40-foot trailer, which Linda calls their store on wheels. In business for 29 years now, Linda confirms that "It's hard work, but we've got super good customers, and we've fine-tuned (the business) over the years."
It took about two years for Bill and Linda to build their route, and it takes a full year to cover 40,000 miles and see about 400 customers. Each stop takes at least a couple of hours, and some days they make only one stop. For customers 80 miles away, it's an overnight trip, and some are 200 miles away. Parts of the route require weeks of overnight stays at hotels that have become as familiar and friendly as their customers, returning only on the weekends to restock.
The farms and ranches in South Dakota are huge, and so are the tractors and other machines. Farmers have always maintained their own equipment right there in their own workshops, so that's where Bill and Linda go to service their customers. One of their most important products, and the one that first got them involved in this business, is a nuts-and-bolts assortment.
Unique circumstances
During setup or maintenance of the equipment, a farmer will need to replace a lot of the same few sizes of nuts and bolts. Bill said after placing a full assortment in their shop, it takes only one season for a customer to recognize how much better it is to have the right sizes on-hand rather than trying to scrounge what they need from a bucket of left-over hardware. When Bill and Linda return the following year to restock the drawers, the customers are ready to look at anything else on the truck.
Bill said he understands what his customers need because he and Linda had been farmers too. "We know you don't go in and sell everything you possibly can and not worry about next year. We want to go back there next year, and we want him to like what we sold him so he'll trust us and buy more. That's really really critical."
Of course, just as critical is standing behind their products. "We absolutely guarantee every tool that goes out that door (because maybe) we don't sell them everything they need, but they rely on everything we sell." Meeting that guarantee is different for Bill and Linda than it is for distributors who see their customers every week. Bill explained: "We have to deal with suppliers on the phone who don't really understand what we do. They ask how old the tool is, and we know darn well it's out of warranty, (so) we have no choice but to warranty that tool ourselves." This has made them extremely choosy about which tools they stock.
Another difference with this business is the way they handle special orders. ISN and Oklahoma Rig & Supply are their main suppliers, but Bill said they also go online to buy tools and equipment. Telephone service is spotty over much of their route, so when they are able to call the supplier, "It's absolutely critical that somebody picks up the phone. Then we can order it and have it shipped." Bill said if he calls and gets an answering machine, "I've lost the sale." But when they have Internet access, they can order from Amazon and the tool is delivered in a day or two.

Hi all,
This is my first post. I got hooked up by the possibility of having the MacOS on a Intel machine.
After I read most of the available information, I successfully installed iDeneb 10.5.7 at a WD250GB SATA HD. Together with a pair of 1GBDDR2667MHz, this forms my m-ITX machine.
The settings I used, and according to the specs ASRock > Products > A330GC was:
Hyper threading disable and USB table Enable.
- ACPI/SS2 FIX - just seemed safer
- ACPI_SMC FIX - ditto
- Firewire remove - actually there is none physically
KERNEL -9.7.0 Vanilla - I believe it's the most "common"
AUDIO - ALC662 - as the specs states
CHIPSET - AHCIFIX and ICHFIX - just seemed safer
NETWORK - RTL8169/RTL8111 -as the specs states
VIDEO - Intel GMA950 - as the specs states
But during boot (-v) I get:
"MAC Framework Successfully initialized using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers."
And it freezes, looking like a kernel panic as described all around the web. I used x32 –x (safe mode) but the result is always the same.
I even found this install Snow Leopard on Asrock A330GC | AMing Blog but its just complete Chinese to me, as my knowledge of computers don't go that far.
Can someone point me some hints please? Please don't say its hw incompatibility, because I don´t want to spend more money on a new (but old model) 330ION. My current ASROCK is just fine for either Win7 or Ubuntu10.10 :-(
I did found out from my own that a dmg file CAN be burned from Win7. I used VirtualBox on a AMD and "pass-through" settings when sharing the ODD with the guest OS. Once iDened was installed, it was easy to burn. It seemed that converting to ISO always messed up with the compressed files.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I do have a OSX LS install DVD. The only reason I used iDeneb is because lots of web how-to mention to install this first on a partition (I use an external USB HD), then to install genuine OSX LS (on the internal HD).

After an almost 40-year career with the chip giant, Otellini will step down as president and CEO in the second quarter of next year.
Speaking yesterday at the Sanford C. Bernstein Conference, CEO Paul Otellini said looking outside the company for his successor would be a bad idea.
At his CES keynote speech, the Intel CEO announces a scad of new partners, shows some eye-candy demos, and introduces a barely coherent will.i.am.
At the Intel Capital Global Summit, CEO Paul Otellini spells out how important touch is to Windows 8-based ultrathin notebooks in 2012.
Intel's CEO implies in an interview Thursday that Google TV devices could be arriving a little sooner than previously thought.
Paul Otellini, chief executive of Intel, takes the stage during a Hewlett-Packard Webcast to discuss the newest Itanium chipset, set to be released midyear.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Intel CEO Otellini chats with actors Danny DeVito and Morgan Freeman and others about the company's move beyond chips.
In conversation with NPR's Moira Gunn at a Churchill Club event, Paul Otellini describes how a focus on markets, rather than products, better positions Intel to deliver what people want. He also discusses how the chipmaker's engineers are adjusting to a recent company reorganization.
While the chip giant's first quarter was a challenge, executives are still confident about the rest of the year. That's good news for tech industry nail-biters.
At the Web 2.0 Summit, the Intel president and CEO showed off a number of new internal prototypes and said that regardless of economic climate, a relentless pursuit of innovation is critical to the tech industry.

I'm glad that I'm the first certified buyer to post the review on this awesome product and I won't make this review very long and boring.
I chose this product over it's closest competitor on Flipkart, Andis. Rest all other brands which are currently available on Flipkart don't even come close, simply because they are delicate products meant for casual trimming.
Wahl and Andis is what you need for serious clipping/trimming requirement to take care of every visible hair on any part of your body. My requirement is to trim my head hair, as I regularly maintain a bald look and I need to trim once every week, so I just wanted a product that is heavy duty, reliable and does a satisfying job quickly.
I have been an owner of an Andis trimmer (which my friend brought from US) for 4 years before buying this one and I started to experience problems with my Andis in the very first year. Even then, I stuck to using it as I couldn't find a better alternative in India. Somehow, I was reluctant in buying a Philips or a Braun, which have always been available.
Anyway, few days back I just checked the range here on Flipkart and I was happy that finally I have some choice. Unfortunately, no one had left any reviews on any of the Wahl products here whereas, Andis had a bunch of positive reviews, which helps making an obvious choice for most of the buyers here. But, I'm little different and most of the times, I don't like to follow the herd. Moreover, as I was an Andis user and not a very satisfied one, I wanted a change and change is what Wahl gave me.
Flipkart has a couple of Wahl clippers on offer, but I particularly liked this one because I liked it's simple classic looks and it felt that it is meant for serious business.
When I received the product, the first thing that caught my eye apart from it's quality packaging was the "MADE IN USA" tag on the box, as well as on the clippers itself. This gave me great confidence in the product, as I got my hands on something that didn't belong to the mediocre Chinese build quality. These days you don't find many products with this tag and it felt great to have something that not only complies to the US standards, but is also manufactured in the US.
This mighty clipper weighs close to half a kilo, which gives you a sense of holding something that is meant for tough men. I did a session of trimming the very same day I received it and I'm not exaggerating when I say that it took me less than 10 minutes to complete the trimming of the entire head, in comparison to the 20 to 25 minutes that my Andis would take. The wide 40mm cutting width removes a big chunk of hair in no time and a powerful motor makes the entire experience a cakewalk.
Another very essential reason that I chose a Wahl over Andis is it's 2 years warranty in comparison to Andis' just 1 year warranty, which clearly states that Wahl has double confidence in their products.
While recommending this product, I'm not ruling out Andis as everyone has their own way of looking at different products, but being someone who has been trimming the hair every week for 5 years straight, I know what a serious user wants from a quality clipper and that's where Wahl wins the race for me.
Five stars to Wahl!!!
Its an awesome product, trimming head hair with it seems like a HOT KNIFE going through the Stomach of BUTTER, so smooth , AWESOME PRODUCT.
Got it delivered in WEST DELHI in just 4 days.
This is my 1st TRIMMER and I am glad that I got a best product from FLIPKART.
Lets me see how far I and my TRIMMER go , I wish it stays with me for 3 to 5 years. I will be a huge bargain if that happens.
Let me give rating on various aspects :-
1. Delivery time = 5 STARS
2. Packaging = 5 STARS
4. BRAND NAME = 5 STARS (MADE IN USA- a proof for QUALITY)
5. EASE of USE = 5 STARS
6. FUNCTIONALITY = 4 STARS ( it should have been OIL FREE )
7. WARRANTY = 5 STARS ( years warranty )
8. PRICE = 4 STARS ( Rs 2800 a bit more, Rs 2000 would
have been better,if it works fine
for next 3 to 5 years then
Rs 2800 would be compensated.)
Friends keep it oiled to increase the life of blades and don't use it on wet surface.
guys I have used this for 1 year now, bought it last year, and let me tell you this is awesome, its working as if its brand new , I oil it after every use, the only drawback is the COMB that came with it - its of very cheap quality ---> who cares about it u can get
it for 10 bucks from the market...............I am fullly satisfied and I am increasing its rating from 4 to 5....................
Received the parcel today
Nicely packed and well delivered on time
It's really powerful
Doesn't make much noise
Vibrate a bit but considering the powerful motor it has it could be ignored
Upper plastic cover (yellow strips with company logo) looks cheap and not well assembled
Since it's Thursday today we are not allowed to trim/shave
Would update my review in coming days
Deducting 1 star because of cheap plastic body cover
Used it for beard trimming and found all the comb attachments except 3mm are useless. They bend & twist while you push them against the face.
Otherwise trimmer is very powerful. Cuts like hot knife on butter.
Very disappointed with the build quality. The plastic case doesn't even fit, no matter how well I screw it in. While the label on the packaging says "Made in USA", nothing in the product looks or feels anything more than cheapish Chinese rip-offs. At best, the blade may have been USA-made.
In the few times I've used it, the clipper does work as advertised, and cuts smooth. But the build quality is so poor that it gives you a constant fear of breaking down any moment. The same needs to be said about the add-ons - very poorly made, but they appear to do the job.
For once, disappointed with my Flipkart buy. This is definitely not a clipper worth even half it's price.
The Review Title may seem Totally Positive.....
Yeah to an extent it is great......
Pro: * Powerful
* Clips hair in Ease
* Flexible Combs (Unbreakable)
* Made me feel like i am a pro in Grooming
* Simple but a Robust machine.
Con: * Limited Length Adjustments (3,6,10,13mm)
* Vibrates a lot. Takes sometime to get a good grip.
* Doesn't have docking stand (Corded Function)
Summary: Doesn't meant for playing with your beard. It for professional Clipping NOT TRIMMING. But If you want a PRO DURABLE SOLID MACHINE ...... You can Go for it ...

4600 Crackersport Rd, Allentown, PA | Directions 1810440.600465 -75.562150
Mon. - Thu. 9am - 7pm;Fri. - Sat. 9am - 5pm;Sun. CLOSED
We went to Daniels BMW to "look" at cars. Upon entering the facility we were greeted by a pleasant receptionist who introduced us to Natalie as all "sales staff" were busy helping customers. Natalie informed us that she was new but was eager to help us. She took us into the lot and showed us the car that we were interested in. She asked us a few questions to see where we were at in the car seeking process and was very professional in doing so. Her mannerism was very comfortable and natural and she allowed us to give the direction as to how far we went with the sale. Natalie showed us three vehicles and took us out to experience each one allowing us enough time to evaluate it's performance. She listened to our wants and needs and never made us feel that she was pushing us to the sales desk. As a matter of fact the entire sale took place in the main lobby sitting comfortably among the sofa's talking casually and getting to know each other on a more personal level. She introduced us to her manager, Rich, who also made us feel like we were old friends. We never felt pressured to make a decision or choice and eventually ended up purchasing the car of our choice for a price that we all felt comfortable with. It made us feel good to learn that this was Natalie's first car sale! She was such a pleasure to deal with. The entire team including the finance guy, Joe Grazer, made us feel relaxed and comfortable with everything. They add a personal touch to their customer experience. We have bought many cars over the years for ourselves and our kids, but have never had the experience that we had at Daniels BMW. They get an A+ from us and we will be sure to recommend them and Natalie in particular to our friends! Thank you for making this purchase easier than we thought it would be. We are so thrilled to have our first BMW and happy to have been Natalie's first sale.
This is our second purchase at Daniels. Awesome experience both times! Sales and service support is excellent and the facility is state of the art.
Daniels BMW is top notch. Great experience as this is our first BMW. Carrie Fortune was great to work with (very professional) and took the time to "teach" me how to work everything in our X5. Thank you Carrie and Daniels BMW for making this a great experience for me. I will surely visit you for our next BMW.
Daniels BMW and Mini is a quality Dealership and a pleasure to deal with. My wife and i have purchased 3 vehicles there and I personally recomend Matt Murphy for your new Mini Cooper that you will never be dissapointed with !!
The overall sales experience at Daniels was first rate. Kay was knowledgeable and passionate about BMW's...just makes the purchasing easy. I would definitely check out the BMWs at Daniels before signing the dotted line.
Daniels's is a great dealership, but primarily due to people like Carrie Fortune. This is the fourth vehicle from Carrie (after we went thru three other dealerships). We are fairly demanding customers, and working with Carrie is truly a pleasure. No pressure, great service, listens closely to what we want, patient (as we go back and forth prior to deciding), always willing to work with us and drives a fair bargain. She continues the great service after the sale and has gone above and beyond in every interaction.
No I'm not related to her. Yes, I am fanatical about customer service and expect a lot from sales people. Carrie continues to exceed expectation, and makes it look effortless.
As for service - Ethan helped save me about $500 on a recent repair. Good service, good price.
Unimpressed.. on more than one occation. – I have had my car serviced here before, and I noticed a reduction in power after the recall service. Also, the service indicator was never reset after an oil change. No loaner car was provided.. I was invited by e-mail to the 2012 BMW 3 series test drive event today (March 24th). This was a scam to get my demographic information. After registering, I waited an hour and a half for the sales person to tell me that they sold the 335i that they had for the test drive event. What did I see as I drove off? 335i sedans with dealer tags being test driven. Today was my last visit to this dealer. As far as I am concerned, they have no credibility. I've had better mechanical service at Thompson BMW in Doylestown...just don't let Thompson wash your car, and you should be fairly happy with your service experience. Also, when Thompson BMW does ride and drive events, you actually get to drive the cars they promote!
Enjoy your bad coffee and browse through overpriced accessories while you get robbed in labor cost! Yayyy! – I'll keep this short and not very sweet... 1) They marked up some parts for my repair by over 300%... not cool. 2)Their labor rate is $110 dollars per hour (proceed to wiping the screen of the coffee you just ejected). 3) Although the staff was friendly and knowledgable, I couldnt get past the fact that I was helping pay for a $5 million dollar mansion-like waiting area staffed by approximately 275 people (I was just having my brake pads replaced for petes sake). Perhaps if they built a really great roller coaster around the property I would have enjoyed it more, or if they offered free oriental massage it would take the sting out of the cost. I love BMWs, but watch how fast places like this sink when the economy catches up with rising costs.... I'll be looking forward to the artistry the 5 assistant counter managers use while assembling my Big Mac at the 15th street McDonalds. How about using some German sensibility and lowering the costs of ownership.... that would sell more cars. How many people do you think would start bitching because there wasnt 8 different variety of biscotti (NOT an exaggeration) available? A true rethink of Daniels philosiphy is in order, IMHO. Until that happens, I'll continue using the private garages who charge more than $30 dollars less per hour. I suppose "speechless" is what it left me, but not in a good way. $700 brake pads tend to do that.
Bought my BMW there. Pretty good service, courteous, respectful. – They generally take care of you but repair work is expensive. Best BMW tech is a dude called Rudy..he's a whiz!
