Choosing Good Quality Upholstery And Fabric
Posted on February 22, 2017 in Commercial & Residential Services
When it comes to your furniture or chair, you need to ensure that comfort is the very first factor you cannot miss! With the right upholstery service you will be able to select the right supplies, colour and foam for your chair and necessary furniture.
With an appropriate upholstery foam service, not only will your seat be blessed with a great look, but it will also provide you with utmost comfort. Your seats will get a plush surface. Seats that come with good quality foam help to distribute the pressure rightly, at the same time, provide you with all the required support.
When it comes to selecting the right commercial upholstery fabric for your vehicle, or furniture, it is not as easy as you feel. Many a times, you come across providers who claim as providing upholstery material; however they are not as what they claim. This is why, when you are going to buy upholstered seating, you need to ensure that you go through the features mentioned below:
With the help of springs the chair seat will get the rightly needed structural support. There are basically two kinds of springs that are chiefly used in chairs and they are zigzag springs and coiled ones. Coil springs come laced together. They are also attached to the chair's frame and they can move. While on the other hand, zigzag springs when attached to the seat, helps to provide one with utmost comfort and support. However with time, the coils tend to flatten out easily, and this way the chair would get uncomfortable.
Industrial webbing
With the help of industrial webbing the upholstered seat get extra support. They come with quality interwoven strips, which get nailed to the base section of the chair. With the help of this sort of reinforcement, your upholstery tends to get quite much comfortable and long lasting.
Cushion fill
The overall sturdiness and comfort of the upholstery does very much depend on the kind of material you use for filling up the mattress, seat or any kind of object you need to fill. Two quite commonly used foams are polyurethane and down. Even though as a material, down is quite soft and relaxing, it can quite quickly get flattened. While polyurethane foam, does provide you with a lot of durable comfort since its density is more. You can again use other kinds of supplies for filling up, such as fabric, leather, vinyl or foam, whatever you feel will provide you with the best of comfort and support. A foam density which is usually thicker or up to 1.8 is fine because anything lesser than this will get flattened quite soon. More so, you will not feel relaxing and the rightly needed support.
When the quality of the fabric used is not good or when gets exposed to excess use, will wither down quickly. It also gets quite unappealing quickly, and would be uncomfortable to sit on.

ORLANDO, Fla.,None - The prime suspect in the case of missing mother Michelle Parker was given custody of their two children on Wednesday, as the search for Parker in Lake Ellenor and in a wooded area ended for the day. The search was near Oakridge Road, which was the site of Parker's last cell phone 'ping' two weeks ago.
During an emergency hearing on Wednesday, a judge ruled that Dale Smith Jr. will keep custody of the two 3-year-old twins.
Tuesday, the Department of Children and Families took the children into protective custody. However, on Wednesday, the judge said there wasn't enough evidence to remove the children from Smith's care, but if more evidence comes forward, the court will revisit the issue.
- Slideshows: Lake, woods search | Smith at custody hearing
- Raw Video: Dale Smith, family after custody hearing
However, DCF argued that the children are at risk with Smith because of his violent criminal history.
DCF said Parker accused Smith of bruising her arm several years ago and that her 11-year-old son accused him of hitting her in front of them.
"He is who he is. His behavior defines him in this case," said DCF attorney Joe Iuzzolino.
Smith knocked an ABC photographer to the ground on Wednesday. Court records show that kind of behavior is not new for Smith.
According to the records, in 1996, Smith pleaded to a lesser charge after being accused of throwing a chair at someone's head from behind, causing serious injury to the person. He took another plea on an attempted aggravated battery charge, involving a murder case in 1992.
Since Parker's disappearance, the children have been staying with Smith, her ex-fiance. Parker also has an 11-year-old son who is not Smith's child.
The 33-year-old mother of three disappeared on Nov. 17 after she appeared on a taped episode of "The People's Court" with Smith in a dispute over her lost engagement ring. During the episode Parker also accused Smith of being so physical she once tried to get a restraining order against him.
A few hours after the episode aired, Parker dropped off her twins at Smith's condo. Parker's SUV was found the day after she vanished.
On Wednesday, an investigator with a camera and another with crime scene tape headed into a wooded area near Oakridge Road and appeared to be focusing on a particular spot.
Hours later, crime scene investigators went into a wooded area with a black garbage bag and a brown paper bag.
"So far we've found nothing," said Sgt. Vince Ogburn of the Orlando Police Department.
Police said there was no clue, tip, or statement that led them to search Lake Ellenor.
"This just happened to be the area that was chosen today," said Ogburn.
It also happened to be the first time in Parker's nearly two-week disappearance that boats and dive teams were used in the search.
"We have to have the boats for the water," said Ogburn.
Lake Ellenor is about a mile and a half from Smith's parents' house.
Smith's father shoved WFTV's photographer as he was being questioned about his son's alibi.
Police said Smith is the only suspect at this point. Detectives said Smith refused to take a polygraph.
Smith's attorney, Mark NeJame, said he does not want Smith to take a lie detector test because they aren't reliable. NeJame said Smith has been cooperative with detectives and talked to them three times without an attorney.
NeJame said Smith has been falsely accused. He claims Smith left his home with the twins at the same time Parker left, and said he arrived at his parents' house an hour and 12 minutes later.
"Get in your car and run that track and see if you can do it, and in between you've killed and gotten rid of, disposed of a body," said NeJame.
WFTV made that drive two times Tuesday night and each time clocked the commute at 25 minutes.
The search for Parker could soon get some high-profile help.
NeJame told WFTV they've asked Texas Equusearch to come to Orlando.
Equusearch leader Tim Miller said he was contacted on Tuesday. He also said Smith deserves help, and Miller may come to Orlando as soon as Wednesday to meet with police.
"He is reaching out for help, so I've got to go in there with an open mind," said Miller. "Help him. Help the family."
Miller said EquuSearch was hesitant to return to Orlando because of its pending lawsuit against Casey Anthony.
EquuSearch is suing for the money it spent searching, since Casey knew her daughter was already dead.
Police urge anyone with information about Parker's whereabouts to call 1-800-423-8477.

Being Human examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward non-human nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures. Peterson discusses mainstream Western understandings of what it means to be human, as well as alternatives to these perspectives, and suggests that the construction of a compelling, coherent environmental ethics will revise our ideas not only about nature but also about what it means to be human.

[Peterson] draws together cultural constructionist, Asian, Native American, feminist and evolutionary thought to present a view of the human as both an integral part of nature and a creator of culture." - Rosemary Radford Ruether, author of Gain and God"

RIM has issued an update to their Mobile Conferencing app. The new update includes the ability to automatically turn an email thread into a conference call using the user's conference bridge details. BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing 2.0 is available now in App World here.
Press Release
Free application, popular with business users, dials conference call numbers and passwords automatically
Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today makes it even easier for customers to manage conference calls on their BlackBerry® smartphone with the release of BlackBerry® Mobile Conferencing version 2.0. This innovative and popular free app includes a number of enhancements, such as the ability to automatically turn an email thread into a conference call using the user's conference bridge details.
BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing automates tedious and error prone tasks such as dialing into a conference call that could include multiple main numbers, a conference ID and other codes, with a simple one-click "Join Now" prompt, as well as the ability to quickly reconnect if dropped from a conference call. The app also integrates with the BlackBerry® Calendar allowing users to quickly and easily schedule and join conference calls directly from within the Calendar. Users can download BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing on BlackBerry® App World™, and organizations can automatically push the app to their users through BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
"BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing is an essential app for anyone who sets up or joins conference calls," said Tom Goguen, vice president, collaboration and social networking at Research In Motion. "This latest version of BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing includes a number of enhancements such as the ability to turn any email thread into a conference call automatically, making it even easier for BlackBerry users to get things done."
New features of BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing version 2.0 include:
- Turn An Email Thread into a Conference Call – BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing helps users instantly schedule a conference call from an email thread, with just a few clicks. The sender and recipients of the email are included as meeting attendees, the email subject becomes the user's meeting subject and part of the email message is automatically copied into the invite for reference. Users can also add conference call details from a stored profile.
- Automatic Detection of Conference Call Details – Conference call information found in meeting invites in any calendar on the user's BlackBerry smartphone is automatically recognized and set up for easy dial-in at the appointed time, helping the user stay organized and on time. In version 2, the engine that recognizes conference call details has been enhanced for improved accuracy.
- Conference Call ID – Users can more easily keep track of the conference calls they've participated in. When the user joins a conference call, the meeting subject appears as the caller ID in the BlackBerry phone app. When the call is completed, the meeting subject appears in the user's call log.
- Conference Profiles Increased to 10 – Users can instantly add preset conference call details to almost any meeting they schedule by selecting from up to ten stored profiles.
- Private Moderator Codes – Users can also keep moderator codes private. Invites sent using a preset conference profile include just the information participants need to join the call. If conference information found in a meeting invite is the user's, the app accesses the stored profile to dial the user in as the moderator. The feature allows a meeting organizer to leave out the moderator code in an invite for privacy, without sacrificing the convenience of "Join Now" as the moderator, when the call arises.
BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing can detect conference call details from most popular conferencing systems on the market and supports BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry® 5 OS or higher. It is now available for download for users in North America on BlackBerry App World at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/46253.

Tre Wilcox
4511 McKinney Ave,
Dallas, 75205
(214) 559-3111
Antoinette Bruno: When
and why did you start cooking? What inspired you to pursue
cooking professionally?
Tre Wilcox: After high
school graduation I was really torn. I knew I really loved
to play in the kitchen, but I wasn't so sure it could
parlay that in to a legitimate career. Once I figured out
I could maybe make a living doing what I loved, I was hooked.

Chef Tre Wilcox
Abacus | Dallas
Tre Wilcox began his culinary career at the age of 17 when
he started working at several fast food restaurants and landed a
position at Eatzi's. Fluent in both English and Spanish,
Wilcox worked his way up to a corporate trainer position and was
sent all over the country to assist in opening five new outposts.
The immersion in Eatzi's rigorous training meant focusing
on organization, knife skills and team management.
Determined to fully explore the culinary world, Wilcox's career
goals led him to his first foray into fine dining at David Holben's
Toscana Restaurant. It was during this experience that
his interest quickly turned into a true passion – just look
at the tattoo down his forearm, which reminds him every day: "Gotta
Have Passion." Wilcox found his way to Abacus under
Kent Rathbun, who would polish his skills as a cook. Beginning as
grill cook, Wilcox quickly moved up to Sous Chef and then to Executive
Sous Chef in 2003, and most recently was promoted to Chef de Cuisine,
as position in which he continues to refine his skills by creating
precise and well-executed dishes.
In 2003, Tre worked with wine manager Matthew Scott to develop the
menu for Dallas' KRLD Restaurant Week where he received the
"Best Food and Wine Pairings" distinction. This recognition
won him a scholarship for continuing his education at the Culinary
Institute of America in Greystone, California. Today Wilcox is Abacus'
self-confident Chef de Cuisine who's not afraid to discuss
how corporate training for a national food chain shaped his skills
as a leader. But his skills in the kitchen truly impress: every
element on the plate is cooked to point—from the starring
protein to the minutiae of the pearl onion garnish. Garnishes are
always functional and no unnecessary elements find their way to
the plate. His dishes, like his duck three ways, shows off not one
but three perfect cooking techniques as well as a sensible, pleasing
geometry, are driven by an obvious passion for food and showmanship.

AB: Where have you worked professionally as a chef?
TW: Little Honda's
Southern Chicken was my first opportunity. I moved to Boston
Market Chicken. My job was to break up the whole raw chicken
in to pieces. It was gross but I mastered it and grew past it. I
worked as a night manager in a bunch of places, which taught me
the corporate aspects of the industry. I learned how to operate
a kitchen and make it function. My first fine dining job was at
David Holben's Toscana. Then I went on to Abacus.
AB: Would you recommend culinary school to aspiring cooks? Do you
hire chefs with and without a culinary school background?
I am partial to culinary school kids but nothing can replace real
kitchen experience. Culinary school and plenty of externships make
the ideal combination.
AB: Who are some of your mentors? What have you learned from them?
TW: Kent Rathbun, the chef
at Abacus in Dallas, really helped to train me. I came
to him entirely unpolished and he helped me out. Thomas Keller is
someone I respect as well.
AB: What question gives you
the most insight to a cook when you're interviewing them for
a position in your kitchen?
TW: It's pretty simple: I make sure they love to cook and
are ready to work.
AB: What advice would you offer young chefs just getting started?
TW: Try to figure out early if cooking is a true passion. If you
don't absolutely love it, get out early because it will wear
you down.
AB: Which chefs do you consider to be your peers?
TW: Sharon Hage at York
AB: Is there any ingredient that you feel is particularly under
appreciated or under utilized?
TW: Organs. It shows a lot of skill to be able to utilize every
part of an animal.
AB: What are a few of your favorite flavor combinations?
TW: I'm in to mixing different textures a lot, but I like
sweet, savory, and spicy flavors all mixed together
AB: What's your most indispensable kitchen tool?
TW: Hot food has to stay hot
so a hot plate, as long as it doesn't spit or sizzle, it's
so important.
AB: Describe a culinary technique
that you have either created of borrowed and use in an unusual way.
TW: I like to mix unexpected
ingredients, like cheap and impressive. I use potatoes in sauce
a lot, like in my white truffle and potato sauce.
AB: What are your favorite cookbooks?
TW: L'Art
Culinaire by Escoffier and Meat
and Game by Charlie Trotter.
AB: Where would you like to
go for culinary travel? Why?
TW: I like to go to France,
somewhere outside of Paris. I recently went to the Alain Ducasse
training center for four weeks.
AB: What are your favorite restaurants-off the beaten path-in your
city? What is your favorite dish there? What are your favorite after
hour places and bars?
TW: My wife and I love Fuse.
It's Tex-Asian fusion. Blaine (Staniford) is really good.
AB: What trends do you see emerging in the restaurant industry
TW: Californian health consciousness is in full swing in Dallas
now. People are manipulating ingredients for that ultimate "wow"
factor, like making edible paper.
AB: What is your philosophy on food and dining?
TW: Cook for a woman if you want an honest and accurate opinion
of your food. Their palates are more sensitive and they have more
delicate tastes.
AB: If you weren't a chef what do you think you'd be
TW: Maybe I'd play soccer.
I'd be way more popular!
AB: What does success mean for you? What will it look like for
TW: I'd like to own my
own restaurant, and maybe have a TV show...
AB: How are you involved in
your local culinary community? Nationally/Globally?
TW: I work at Central Market
and the Dallas Farmer's Market.

The founders of the Web Summit Dublin have filed a motion in a USA court to dismiss a "purport" €4.5m legal case over an attempt to trademark "The Summit".
The lawsuit, taken by an American seminar and real estate developer, Elliott Bisnow, has been criticized by Dublin Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave as "speculative".
"You cannot copyright the word 'summit' just as a coffee chain cannot copyright the word 'coffee'," he said.
Mr Cosgrave also said that the product offered by the plaintiff's company, Summit Series, is "completely different" to the Dublin event, which expects to attract 20,000 people this November.
Mr Bisnow claims that Dublin Web Summit founder Mr Cosgrave developed a 'Summit' conferencing theme after talks between the two in Montana in 2010. However, Mr Cosgrave has dismissed the charge.
"We registered the Dublin Web Summit domain long before I ever met any of these people," he said.
"We had our first event in 2009. As for Elliott Bisnow, I spent two days with him, not a month as has been reported. It's pretty standard practice to meet people in your industry and, over the years, I would have spent time with and met people including the organisers of the G8 Summit and various other summits."
Legal proceedings began in May, having been sparked by the Irish company's name change to 'The Summit' last Autumn, a move it has since reversed.
"We changed to 'The Summit' because the event is expanding so rapidly, and into so many new areas, that it seemed right for the name to reflect the evolution," said Mr Cosgrave.
"However, we soon realised that 'The Summit' is a much more difficult thing to market and brand than the 'Dublin Web Summit', which already has a very, very strong brand and is internationally known. The reality is that there are dozens of high profile 'Summit' organisations and events already throughout the world." - Irish Independent

Music is situated in every known culture, present and past, differing generally between times and places. Since everyone of the world, like the most isolated tribal groups, have a kind of music, it could be figured music will probably have been within the ancestral population before the dispersal of humans about the world. Consequently, music may have experienced existence for at least 55,000 years and the first music might have been developed in Africa and then developed to become important constituent of individual life.
A culture's music is inspired by all the areas of that culture, including social and monetary experience and organization, climate, and usage of technology. The ideas and thoughts that music expresses, the situations where music is enjoyed and paid attention to, and the behaviour toward music composers and players all differ between parts and durations. "Music history" is the distinct subfield of musicology and history which studies music (particularly Western art music) from a chronological perspective.
Prehistoric music, once again called primitive music commonly, is the name directed at all music stated in preliterate civilizations (prehistory), starting anywhere in very later geological record. Prehistoric music is accompanied by ancient music in almost all of Europe (1500 BC) and later music in subsequent European-influenced areas, but nonetheless exists in isolated areas. if you'd like to tracks the from the best site online download free.
Prehistoric music thus theoretically includes every one of the world's music that has been around before the arrival of any presently extant historical options pertaining to that music, for example, traditional Indigenous American music of preliterate tribes and Australian Aboriginal music. However, it is more prevalent to make reference to the "prehistoric" music of non-European continents – especially whatever still survives – as folk, traditional or indigenous music. The foundation of music is undiscovered as it took place to registered background prior. Some claim that the foundation of music likely is due to naturally occurring sounds and rhythms. Human music might echo these phenomena using patterns, tonality and repetition. Today even, some cultures have certain cases of their music going to imitate natural sounds. Occasionally, this feature relates to shamanistic values or practice. It could also serve entertainment (game) or practical (luring animals in hunt) functions.
It is possible that the first drum was the individuals voice itself, which will make a vast selection of sounds, from performing, humming and whistling to clicking, yawning and coughing. In 2008 archaeologists learned a bone flute in the Hohle Fels cave near Ulm, Germany. The five-holed flute has a V-shaped mouthpiece and is manufactured out of a vulture wing bone. The oldest known solid wood pipes were uncovered near Greystones, Ireland, in 2004. A wood-lined pit included several six flutes created from yew hardwood, between 30 and 50 cm long, tapered at one end, but without the finger holes. They could once have been strapped jointly.
Ancient music
The prehistoric era is considered to own ended with the introduction of writing, and with it, by description, prehistoric music. "Ancient music" is the name directed at the music that adopted. The "oldest known tune" was written in cuneiform, going out with to 3400 years back from Ugarit. It had been deciphered by Anne Draffkorn Kilmer, and was proven made up in harmonies of thirds, like historic gymel, and was written by using a Pythagorean tuning of the diatonic scale also. The oldest surviving exemplory case of a full musical composition, including musical notation, from on the planet anywhere, is the Seikilos epitaph.
Dual pipes, such as those employed by the old Greeks, and historical bagpipes, and a overview of old drawings on wall space and vases, etc., and traditional writings (such as with Aristotle, Problems, Publication XIX. which detailed musical techniques of that time period, point out polyphony. One tube in the aulos pairs (two times flutes) likely dished up as a drone or "keynote," as the other enjoyed melodic passages. Devices, including the seven holed flute and different types of stringed devices have been retrieved from the Indus valley civilization archaeological sites.
Indian traditional music (marga) are available from the scriptures of the Hindu traditions, the Vedas. Samaveda, one of the four vedas, identifies music at duration.
Ravanahatha (ravanhatta, rawanhattha, ravanastron or ravana hasta veena) is a bowed fiddle popular in American India. It really is thought to have originated on the list of Hela civilisation of Sri Lanka in the right time of Ruler Ravana. This string instrument has been recognised among the oldest string instruments in world history.
The annals of musical development in Iran (Persian music) goes back to the prehistoric period. The great renowned ruler, Jamshid, is acknowledged with the technology of music. Music in Iran can be tracked back to the times of the Elamite Empire (2500-644 BC). Fragmentary documents from various intervals of the country's background create that the historical Persians possessed a more elaborate musical culture. The Sassanid period (Advertising 226-651), specifically, has remaining us ample research directing to the lifetime of a exciting musical life in Persia. The titles of some important music artists such as Barbod, Ramtin and nakissa, and game titles of a few of their works have survived.
The Early music era may include modern-day but traditional or folk music also, including Asian music, Persian music, music of India, Jewish music, Greek music, Roman music, the music of Mesopotamia, the music of Egypt, and Muslim music.

Why Boarding School
The boarding school experience is an ideal way for students to optimize both academic learning and social development. Under the close supervision and guidance of our faculty and staff, students are encouraged to challenge themselves intellectually while developing their social skills, athletic and extra-curricular interests, personal maturity and ethics. Sharing common areas in the dorms and around campus, students learn the arts of patience and compromise with their neighbors and peers. They also quickly learn the importance of trust and respect. As a result of living, eating and studying together, boarding students graduate with maturity and confidence, an understanding of others who may be different from themselves and a close bond with classmates that will endure for the rest of their lives.
According to a recent study by the Art & Science Group, the leading market research firm for educational and non-profit institutions, and which was published on the website of the Association of Boarding Schools,* there are five central advantages to boarding school life:
The Academic Promise
It's no surprise that more than 60 percent of students enroll in boarding schools because of the promise of better education. More than 90 percent of students concede they find their schools academically challenging, and the figures back it up: boarding school students spend more than twice as many hours (17 vs. 8) a week on homework than their peers in public schools.
24-Hour Learning
Thanks to the unique and encouraging campus environment boarding schools provide, students are tremendously active outside the classroom. Across the globe, boarding school students participate in more extracurricular activities than other students, whether it is exercising and playing sports (12 hours vs. 9 hours), engaging in creative endeavors like music and painting (6 hours vs. 4-5 hours), or participating in student government and club activities (35 percent vs. 27 percent).
Learning to Lead
One distinctive characteristic of boarding schools is that character development counts as much as academics. The environment--in which teachers live among their students and students live away from home--lends itself to the cultivation of self-discipline and independent thought. Leadership opportunities also emerge. More than three quarters of boarding school students say they have been given leadership opportunities, a far higher percentage than public and private school students. At the same ti
College Ready
It is almost universally acknowledged that boarding school environments--through the balance of greater mentor guidance and greater personal responsibility--deliver graduates to university with an unequaled level of preparation. 87 percent of graduates concur, while nearly 80 percent added that they were equally prepared for the non-academic aspects of college life, including independence, social life and time management.
Getting Ahead
Beyond college, boarding school graduates are most often professionally accomplished and philanthropically active adults. By mid-career, more boarding school graduates achieve top management positions with more frequency than students from other schools. More impressively, 60 percent of alumni give to social service organizations, compared with 46 percent of all others.

Online shopping often need to return, if you encounter a strange phone after the order to contact you for various reasons to return?

Customer service contact return card was transferred out of 40 thousand yuan a week in Shanghai lady bought two pieces of clothes recently on Taobao, after the receipt of goods, quality and no businesses find clothes described so well, in Ms. Zhou when considering whether to apply for the return of a Taobao phone call claiming to be the seller hit me. Ms. Zhou: he asked me, you bought a few days ago is not the quality of two T-shirts? He said is right, are not of good quality. Later, he said that you bought two T-shirts back, the money back to you, I believe. He said, I now send a link to you, you fill in the above, you can.

Introducing A Better Way To Grill It!, Bake It! or Smoke It!!
Metro Series
Designed primarily for apartments and condominiums, our Metro Series shines in areas with grilling restrictions. It's an electric BBQ grill that is a safe alternative to gas or charcoal -- moreover, the cuisine is healthier, more flavorful, and exceptionally juicy. Designed for smokeless grilling, it also doubles as a quality smoker. In the smokeless mode, it will not smoke up your apartment, the balcony, or the neighbors. By allowing you to cook with both levels simultaneously, the Metro Series maximizes grilling area (430 square inches) in a small package (28" wide by 24" deep - outside dimensions). It uses a standard 120V wall socket.
Our Metro Series is our space-efficient grill/oven/smoker appliance. It has handles instead of shelves and a smaller body. The body and lid are made entirely of stainless steel, while the handles, legs, and lid-stops are powder-coated galvanneal. Stainless steel, galvanneal, and powdercoat paint are all very durable materials and can withstand harsh outdoor envirnoments. You can leave these outside and cook on them year-round, or grill inside with less smoke than your oven. With the addition of a smoker tray and a few dry wood chips, these grills are also very capable smokers. (When smoking, use only outside or with a vent.)
The Metro Series grills include electronic controls with AutoChef™ technology, dishwasher-safe grates, dual cooking levels (you can cook on both levels simultaneously), large wheels, and disposable drip pans. High quality grill covers and smoker trays are also available.
Except for our other models, these are the largest 120V grills -- even with one level. When using both levels, you have more grilling area (430 square inches) than many 240V grills (at a fraction of the cost).
Power Requirements
These grills draw approximately 12 amps at 120 volts for a total wattage of 1500 watts. They can use any standard 110 or 120V outlet.
Options and Accessories
Grill Cover - High quality vinyl cover fits neatly around grill; velcro strip snugs it firmly in place. Many colors are available(charcoal gray is the most popular).
Sandblasting - Artwork of your choice etched into the lid or grill body. We have many standard designs, or we can create a new one just for you.
Custom message - Add a unique message to the electronic display (great forgifts!).
Extra Smoker Tray - Although one smoker tray produces a tremendous amount of smoke (as much as we ever want), some prefer yet more smoke.
Locking casters - Maneuver your grill into tight corners and lockit in place. (Adds 2-3 week lead-time.)
Custom paint job - Color of your choice to match home decor.(Requires significant lead-time.)
Shipping and Assembly
The Metro grill comes two boxes. Depending on your location, we use FedEx Ground or Spee-Dee; in most cases, you should have your grill in a week or less.
Assembly is relatively easy and takes about an hour (30 minutes if you are experienced). You will need basic tools, including a small and a medium Philips screwdriver, a 7/16 inch wrench, and a 5/16 inch nut driver.
If you are in our area or you purchase from your local dealership, no assembly is required.
Please call our sales department at (605) 847-4713 to arrange specifics (such as delivery options and customizations). You may also purchase from one of our dealers or order online through the Made in South Dakota website.

I have just stumbled upon the Information Commissioner's Office's page that informs the British public on the monetary penalties that the ICO has handed down over the last 1 ½ odd years: 26 penalties of about £ 120,000 on average. Not that that kills any of the public authorities and private companies involved (and nor should it). But it shows that where the ICO believes that a breach is serious enough to warrant a monetary penalty the penalties are not only symbolic but designed to at least sting a bit. Continue reading

"Google Has Few Concerns About the Right to be Forgotten!"
Until last year, the right to be forgotten used to be an idea of Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, an Austrian law professor. He suggested – and probably still suggests – providing a "best before date" for data that is electronically saved. After the expiration of the date, the data would be automatically deleted by the application or computer system. Last year, the idea – or a modification thereof – became part of a draft regulation of the European Commission. Continue reading
Forfeiting a Contractual Penalty by Continuously Storing a Photograph
On September 12th, 2012 the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe – 6 U 58/11 – decided on the question, which actions a debtor has to restrain from after he signed a declaration to cease and desist "using a photograph on the internet". Continue reading
How to Sue and Prove that You Have no Basis for Your Claim, or: The Curious Effects of Patent Exhaustion
My colleague Till Jaeger drew my attention to a recent decision of the German Federal Court of Justice (X ZR 33/10) that demonstrates in a rather curious way the effects of patent exhaustion.
In the case at issue the plaintiff was the holder of a process patent for the coding, transfer and decoding of video signals used when producing and playing of DVDs under the MPEG 2 standard. The defendant, a Greek DVD producer had no business relationship with the plaintiff, in particular no license agreement with the plaintiff was in effect. However, the plaintiff suspected that the defendant made use of its patent and decided to test the defendant's abidance by the law. Continue reading
Today Parliament Hearing on Interoperability, Standards and Open Source
As we reported in July, the German parliament has recently set up a project group on "Interoperability, Standards, Open Source" as part of its Commission of Enquiry ("Enquete-Kommission") on "Internet and Digital Society".
Today, the first expert talks are taking place – and our colleague Till Jaeger has the honor of being invited to comment on legal problems of Free and Open Source Software. More information on the hearing can be found here (unfortunately only in German). Till's preparatory written statement is available here (again only in German). And if you are interested to follow the discussion live, you can find a live stream here.
Copyright Protection for Websites Using Typo3
Every now and then the question arises in court if websites are protected under copyright law. Website technology is progressing and so time and again new aspects have to be considered by the courts. Recently, the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg ruled on a case of alleged plagiarism of a website that was based on the Open Source Content Management System "Typo 3" (OLG Hamburg, decision of February 29, 2012, ref. 5 U 10/10).

General Data Protection Regulation: Council of the EU's Amendments to the Commission's Draft
Last weekend, an amended draft of the Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation) was published by the British organization statewatch. The proposed changes regard Articles 1-10, 80 (a), 83 and several recitals. While some of them simply clarify the first draft, others – as for example the definition of the term "personal data" in Article 4 Subsection 1 – will have great effects on data protection in Germany.

Disclosure Obligations for Access Providers or "What exactly needs to be commercial?"
In order to pursue copyright infringements, rightholders need the names and addresses of the infringers. This creates special problems in file sharing cases where the identity of those who illegally use file sharing systems needs to be found out by checking who's behind a specific IP address. Detecting copyright infringements and collecting the IP addresses of the responsible persons are just the first steps to this end. But then, the rightholders have no choice but to ask the respective ISP to hand out the data it has about the IP addresses discovered. ISPs for their part need to protect their customers and their business and have to comply with strict statutory data protection provisions. Thus, ISPs and copyright holders are in a permanent conflict of interests. Continue reading
Disguised Advertising in the Wikipedia
Once information is entered into the Internet's most popular encyclopedia Wikipedia it gains an immense potential of distribution. The high number of users and the easy accessibility in combination with the impression of neutrality an encyclopedia communicates make it highly desirable for companies to be positively depicted in articles about the company itself or its products.
The Higher Regional Court of Munich decided on May 10th, 2012 that positive display of a company's products in a Wikipedia article that was amended by the director of the company constitutes disguised advertising and thus unfair competition as defined by Section 4 No. 3 UWG (the German Law Against the Unfair Competition).

Injunctive relief under competition law
Data protection is big in Europe, especially in Germany. It is not possible to process personal data without a data protection law regulation the data processing. And while data protection laws are primarily supposed to protect the individual's right to determine how his or her data is being processed, data protection has also become a commercial factor. On the one hand, companies are restricted in their ways of advertisement towards their customers. According to section 28 subsection 3 of the Federal Data Protection Act for example, advertisement is dependent on the individual customer's consent. On the other hand, data protection compliance demands investments in the implementation of data protection standards within the company, for example to lay down the technical and organizational measures demanded by section 9 of the Federal Data Protection Act. Continue reading
Update: Second Proposal for a New Neighboring Right for Press Publishers Released
A while ago we reported that the German Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ, Bundesjustizministerium) published a proposal for the implementation of a new neighboring right for press publishers.
Last Friday, a second draft for implementing such a new neighboring right into the German Copyright Code has been published by the Ministry. Compared to the first draft, the scope of the new neighboring right is far more limited: according to the new draft press publishers will only have a claim for remuneration against search engine companies. Other users like bloggers, companies other than press publishers or law firms would not need to obtain a license from the press publisher if they make available a press product. Continue reading
Update: Liability for the child's copyright infringement
Three weeks after the Higher Regional Court of Cologne (Oberlandesgericht, OLG Köln, decision of 06/04/2012 – 6 W 81/12 – we reported) found parents to be obliged to control what their children are doing online, even if the children are of age, the Regional Court of Hamburg (Landgericht Hamburg, LG Hamburg, decision of 06/21/2012 – 308 O 495/11) now held the parent's obligation to control their grown children to be "unreasonable". ". According to the judges in Hamburg, parents can rely on their grown children knowing what they are doing online and knowing if they are infringing copyrights. Therefore, parents can neither be held responsible for not instructing their grown children how to "behave" online, nor for not checking up on what their children are doing online. The obligation to control children of age is found to contradict the "family's bonds" in cases where there has not been prior reason to believe the child is infringing third party's copyrights. In addition, a child of age cannot be expected to respect such parental control.
Liability for the spouse's or child's copyright infringement
Under German civil law copyright infringements through filesharing can basically be pursued in two ways. On the one hand, it is obviously possible to pursue claims against the person who actually makes the copyrighted material accessible via internet. This person may be the actual perpetrator of the copyright infringement or someone who deliberately aids and abets the perpetrator committing the copyright infringement. On the other hand, right holders can also try to catch any person who – without being the actual infringer/ abettor –contributed to someone else's copyright infringement in any way. The courts have repeatedly found such third parties responsible for copyright infringements (see, for example, Federal Supreme Court aka Bundesgerichtshof aka BGH, decision of 11/03/2004 – 1 ZR 304/01 and decision of 04/19/2007 – I ZR 35/04). Continue reading
German Federal Supreme Court on file hoster responsibility for third party content – "Rapidshare"
The German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) delivered yesterday a decision on file hosters' duties regarding copyright infringements committed by their users (more on the general topic of the responsibility for third party content here and here). The written opinion is not published yet, but here is a short summary of the German press release. Continue reading
YouTube v. GEMA Decision by Hamburg District Court
After having uploaded quite some posts about how liability for third party Internet content works in German law, and having done so in rather abstract terms (in part, admittedly, for shying away from translating dozens of pages of court decisions) here is a good example of how it works in practice. A colleague from Italy has thankfully posted an English translation of the YouTube v. GEMA decision of the Hamburg District Court of April 20, 2012 on his blog. Continue reading
Confiscation of Facebook Accounts in Criminal Proceedings
Social networks enjoy great popularity among online users. In Germany, more than 50 percent of all users surf on social networks on a weekly basis. In more than 50 percent the social network of choice is Facebook. But Facebook not only has the highest amount of users. They are also the most active, show the highest rate of general online activity (e.g. online shopping) and thus have the highest e-commerce-potential. Therefore, there has not been a way around Facebook for online shops for quite some time (more statistics on Facebook can be found here).
Now, there no longer seems to be a way around Facebook for state institutions, especially law enforcement agencies, neither.
Who May Photograph Your Cow?
Imagine, you own a cow. Someone comes to your farm, takes a photo of your cow, leaves, and a few weeks later you find this photo on some commercial website. Can you do anything against it? Do you have an exclusive right to make and distribute photos of your cow? The Local Court of Cologne decided on this situation two years ago and said: No, taking photographs of someone's cow does not infringe on any exclusive rights of the cow's owner, and a photographer may publish photos taken of this cow.
I mention this because a three-week old decision by the District Court of Berlin (Landgericht Berlin) I just read reminded me of this curious case. However, it seems that (absurdly) the Berlin court would have ruled in favor of the cow's owner. Let's take a look: Continue reading
Proposal for a New Neighboring Right for Press Publishers
The German Federal Ministry of Justice has published the long-awaited proposal for the implementation of a new neighboring right for press publishers. According to the reason given for the draft, press publishers will be granted the neighboring right in order to ease their lives in our digital times (by way of making sure that they receive a compensation for the specific work that they do).
For more than three years, press publishers have lobbied for a new IPR as a prerequisite to maintain quality journalism in the digital age. As was to be expected, the request has been quite heavily criticized by renowned scholars, the German industry and interest groups like IGEL (initiative against a neighboring right for press publishers) – with quite a notable list of supporters. The most notable opponent of such a new right (and main target of the press publishers) is Google, aka the usual suspect.
From the point of view of the press publishers who want and need to be able to gain noteworthy profits from their online press publications, Google's business model unjustly exploits their content and publications. News aggregators like Google News are said to be a prime example of the internet age's free riding business models massively harming the press publishers as advertising budgets are not spent where the content comes from. On the other hand, a neighboring right that will protect an individual sentence or a few words taken from an article would obviously be substantially cutting into freedoms that most Internet users have become accustomed to. Continue reading
On Liability and Liability Clauses in German Law
When you negotiate agreements between German companies and companies with a – broadly speaking – common law background, especially the U.S., one issue that keeps appearing is the parties' liability for damages. Groundhog day, if you will.
"Liability" is certainly a difficult legal term to being with, especially as you have to first decide what you are actually talking about when using the word. Continue reading

Review for CA Anti-Virus Plus Anti-Spyware
CA Antivrus
Wow this product was probably the worst antivirus software that i have ever had the plesure of removing from my computer. When I downloaded it, it was a free 6 month trial version that i got through Tigerdirect.com because i purchesed somthing from them. Right away it ran it self and said that it found like 15 spyware files and then about 6 viruses. So im like this is great, lets remove all of this, and i did. immediately after that my computer ceased to work. My OS was half taken apart by the "antivirus" software, and i had to run everything through the task manager, and that was fun as you can imagine. I will never get that product again, I would rather let the viruses be on my computer. They were less harmfull then the damn CA.

WASHINGTON — She told the Domestic Abuse Service Center in Minneapolis that the father of her children had pushed, grabbed and kicked her. Fearing he'd hurt her again, she asked for an order of protection and began making plans to head to a domestic abuse shelter.
A day later, she called the center and asked to drop the order of protection. She didn't have another home to go to, and the shelter was full. She needed to work so she could keep going to school and didn't have money for child care. Financially, she said she needed the abuser to watch her kids.
"One of the main reasons women do not leave abusive situations is because they are financially dependent on their abuser," explained Lolita Ulloa, managing attorney of the Victim Services Division in the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, who told the story of that unnamed Minneapolis woman. "This reality is only exacerbated during an economic downturn."
"Financial independence, simply put, can make the difference in whether a woman stays or leaves."
Ulloa and others who work with domestic violence victims told a Senate panel Wednesday that they've seen a sharp spike in the number of cases they handle since the economic crisis began in earnest in late 2008. While research doesn't exist to authoritatively link an economic downturn with starting domestic violence, experts said that anecdotally it appears that the added stress intensifies already abusive relationships.
Senate leaders said they plan to take up a reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act later this year, with a view toward amending it to provide more help to victims in financial need.
"The economic pressures of a lost job, home or car can add stress to an already abusive relationship," Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said. "The loss of those resources can make it harder for victims to escape a violent situation."
"Now's the time to look at where the needs might be," Leahy said.
Suggested solutions
Part of the problem, officials said, is that there simply aren't enough resources to help everyone in need. Susan Carbon, director of the Department of Justice's Office of Violence Against Women, said calls to the national domestic violence hot line rose nearly 20 percent from 2008 to 2009.
A national one-day census of domestic violence services in September, 2009, showed more than 9,200 requests went unmet on that day alone. Extend that one day by 364 others, and one finds a simply staggering gap between the needs and the resources available to meet those needs.
This being the start of the reauthorization process, the suggestions were numerous:
- Ulloa asked for money to help victims on an "emergency basis," so that finances won't be an impediment to their or their children's safety.
- Carbon suggested the scope of the Act be broadened so her office can pursue strategies to prevent domestic violence, rather than just respond to it.
- In tough budget times, how much money can be found? "My concern is that we don't cut back on services," Sen. Amy Klobuchar said.
- Sen. Al Franken, adding to Klobuchar's point, suggested more money be specifically set aside to combat domestic violence on Indian reservations where federal statistics show rates of sexual assault are far higher than the national average.
- Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions suggested more research on what works and what doesn't, so that "people throughout the states that carry out these works know what things are effective and what things don't work."
- The Violence Against Women Act, as its name suggests, tends to target women, said Richard Gelles, dean of the school of social policy and practice at the University of Pennsylvania. More needs to be done, he said, to support male victims of domestic abuse.
- A contentious debate looms over exactly how much proof should be required before accused abusers are separated from their children.
- Another equally contentious question: Should the government step in and help fund lawyers for those who claim domestic violence in divorce proceedings?
"In the past 15 years, we have changed the way that our communities respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking," Carbon said in her concluding remarks. "But there is still work to do if we are to reach our collective goal of breaking the cycle of violence that plagues families and communities across our country."

Diversity in the engineering field has been, frankly, a challenge. All you need to do is take a look at the staff of most companies that are involved with product development to see the evidence.
Two of our engineers, Lauren West and Heather Benoit, are doing something about it. In their spare time, when not developing great products for M3 Design's clients, they have been involved in an effort to engage more women in product development. To that end, they are active in organizing the "Austin Women in Engineering" (AWE) group whose mission is to help facilitate a greater role for women in Austin engineering community.
Please join Heather and Lauren on June 21 for a free AWE Panel Event where successful women in the Austin tech sector will discuss their experiences and lessons learned.

Welcome to the fifth installment of 'Think It Through', the series where I poke holes in the logic of things that don't seem to run on any logic.
So the Rio Olympics were a thing a few days ago, and now that the dust is settled (well at least by the time I finish writing this thing) and people have celebrated the achievements of the winning athletes. But alas not everything can be so happy; especially when the social justice babies start emerging from their Tumblur blogs looking for something to do. And in their never-ending quest to bully anyone more relevant than them; they decide to go after the voice of Dory from Finding Nemo.
I guess they were that keen to disprove the notion that anyone that isn't white, straight or born with a dick is public enemy number one and only, while everyone else is excused from consequences….its just the women they do it to. So for those not in the know, Jamaican athlete Usian Bolt competed, with a photo of him grinning at the camera as he completed the race. And like the Internet usually does. It photoshopped the image into various memes for the shakes of a joke. Well Ellen DeGeneres also took to Photoshop with her own image.
Now you see that image here above the sentence? Right tell me what is wrong with that picture? If you said nothing you're correct. However we live in the world of individuals that more trigger happy than Yosemite Sam on Red Bull and crack. Because she was accused of racism, due to the picture's "connections" (if only the quotation marks could get bigger than the site will allow) to slavery. I mean look at this image here to the right. As the mouth breathers on Twitter compared a photo of Ellen saying that: being given a piggy back ride by Usian Bolt is faster than taking her own car (which is probably true) to slave masters using their slaves as furniture. WHAT?! See this is why the Olympics need a game for furthest distance away from the point; because if these people were in US team, they would be taking home the gold from now till the end of time and beyond.
Unless Ellen also edited herself being pulled by a kart tied around Bolt's waist, while whipping him with one hand, and holding a poll with a water melon attached via some string. Then you have lost me on how this is racist. Those two from the 1800s keep being brought. Yes that happened a long time ago. But as far as Google is aware, this is the exception and not the norm. And yet they keep popping up as a means of quit by association; because god forbid people move on from their countries past. Unless she's maceing the guy while she's dressed in a police uniform, the only racism is in your own head, that is if you believe in the crap that is more of a stretch than a fat lady's g-string. As if the argument that political correctness is to comedy, what cancer is to the human lungs; needed anymore proof.
And the best thing of all, is that Ellen finally commented about the c(n)onterversy by saying this:
And good for her to basically say: "I'm not racist, and your morons are taking this out of context". – Ellen DeGeneres, in an ideal world. Because if the Social Justice morons have told us anything, it's that context and apologies are more meaningless than their credibility as a movement. I mean these are the same people who praised the Ghostbusters reboot of promoting girl power, before calling the trailer racist for not having the black woman not be a scientist…last time I tak about the Ghostbusters reboot i swear.
So can everyone please stop trying to associate things that aren't racist…with racism? Please, because most of the time in this day and age, it's not there. So how about we start using the word racist when discussing actual hate attacks and acts based on nationality and skin colour; before the it starts becoming a synonym for something other than its proper definition, given the people who'll throw the word around like water.
Thank you for your time.

Brandon Fisher FBI Series Book 4
Author: Carolyn Arnold
Price: $ 0.99
GET DEAL at Amazon
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...
At the heart of every human being is the need--and the desire--to be happy. For many, happiness is elusive, but for one killer, it's something to be created. But it's not as easy as it seems at first, and this "creator" is determined to get it right at least one more time, no matter how many tries it takes …
It's been exactly a year since Cheryl Bradley was found dead in her bathtub, dressed in a wedding gown with her ring finger severed. With no leads and no more evidence, the case had gone cold. That is, until another young woman is found murdered and posed in the same fashion.
Now, FBI agent Brandon Fisher and his team have been called in to catch the killer before another innocent life is taken. As Brandon begins to pull at every possible loose thread, the idea that the killer's method of operation is all that connects the women begins to unravel. This serial killer isn't just out for blood; this is a murderer on a mission.
But the closer Brandon thinks he's getting to a resolution, the more evident it is that the killer is losing control and slipping up, making the trail even more difficult for the FBI to follow. And unless Brandon and his team can catch up to the killer, the bloodbath will continue to overflow.

Author Description:
Lee Goldberg is an ex-Navy SEAL, freelance Sexual Surrogate and a professional Pierce Brosnan impersonator.
Okay, that's not true. But he wants this biography to be really exciting, so pay attention. If things bog down, I've been instructed to add a car chase or some explicit sex.
Here's the real story. Lee Goldberg writes books and television shows.
His mother wanted him to be a doctor, and his grandfather wanted him to go into the family furniture business. Instead, he put himself through UCLA as a freelance journalist, writing for such publications as American Film, Starlog, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, The Washington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle (He also wrote erotic letters to the editor for Playgirl at $25-a-letter, but he doesn't tell people about that, he just likes to boast about those "tiffany" credits).
He published his first book ".357 Vigilante" (as "Ian Ludlow," so he'd be on the shelf next to Robert Ludlum) while he was still a UCLA student. The West Coast Review of Books called his debut "as stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort," singling the book out as "The Best New Paperback Series" of the year. Naturally, the publisher promptly went bankrupt and he never saw a dime in royalties. (But the books are available on the Kindle as "The Jury Series")

A little boy's haven…
As a child Adam found respite from his father's cruelty in the woods around their home. During one of his forest adventures, he crawled through tunnel and emerged into another world, a magical world, where a beautiful fairy child splashes in an enchanted pool.
It was just imagination…
Or so Adam tells himself as an adult. Until he finds a painting of that same crystal-strewn glade, that same glistening pool, the same mysterious girl splashing in its waters.
That painting becomes his most cherished possession.
Brigit thinks she knows who she is…
A fire razed the orphanage where she lived. But a homeless man saved her, and he saved the book that had been left on its doorstep with her.
She and Raze have been family to each other ever since.
Brigit can paint anything she sees precisely, and she uses her gift to get her and Raze off the streets when he gets too old and too sick to survive that way anymore.
The wrong people find out about her ability, though, and Raze is kidnapped. To get him back, Brigit must get close enough to Adam to copy his painting, switch them, and deliver the original to the kidnapper.
But it's not just a painting…
It's the key to Brigit's secret past, her connection to the enchanted land Adam discovered as a boy, and a message from a twin sister she never knew she had pointing the way to her destiny.

Those of you with eagle eyes might notice the slightly darker toe on one of the socks. That's because I didn't remember to take my gauge swatch with me and I needed that yarn to complete the second sock. Fortunately, I found a few yards of a similar yarn at the Retreat.
