Aquablade continuum - Just started using this on my Kent scraper handle. The Kent blades start scratching as soon as the edge gets any sort of nick or roughness. So far, I like the Auqablade.

For glass I bought a regular glass scraper from Walmart (the only store in town). It was $1.88 I believe and the refills for 5-10 are about $2. Works great and is cost efficient. Just used it on my tank yesterday. Obviously wouldn't work on acrylic.

I made mine out of a piece of scrap wood and a blade. And when I had a red slime issue, I would zip-tie a piece of airline tubing right over the blade and siphon while scraping.

For acrylic I use eather a old credit card, or a peice of acrylic. Ilike the acrylic one best. I make them by taking a peice of acrylic and scoreing a sraight line across it with a utility knife then snap it off. And you get a nice sharp cleaning egde.

Flipper scraper gets my vote it works amazing I haven't had to get my hands wet scraping in over a year. Plus I had a problem with it once and they sent me a new one for free and it's working great! In fact my brother's girlfriend hates his tank because he never scrapes it so I'm going to buy him one for Christmas.

Nashville musicians sue Spotify over song licensing agreements
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) —
Spotify is in trouble again for how an attorney says it pays the people behind the songs you love.
A Nashville attorney is representing two publishers of hits like George Strait's "Troubadour" and Miranda Lambert's "Gun Powder and Lead."
They are now taking actions against the music streaming service.
Lee Thomas Miller's latest hit is climbing the charts, but the Nashville Songwriter's Association president said it all comes down to the American songwriter.
"We sit in rooms everyday and craft out of our own experiences, our own heartaches out of our own victories," Miller said. "As it is now, culture has been told music is free, music is in the air, all I have to do is get an app and pick a song."
As music creators take a hit with streaming, Nashville-based attorney Richard Busch is striking a chord filing two lawsuits against Spotify on Tuesday.
"A multi-billion dollar business we allege not caring about committing copyright infringement or paying songwriters or publishers for their work, so they can be first in market to rule the streaming industry," Busch said.
Representing publishers like Nashville's Bluewater and Bob Gaudio (main songwriter for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons), Busch alleges Spotify did two things to his clients: not properly paying for licensed music and playing songs after licensing agreements ended.
"They're about to go public on this multi-billion dollar business that we allege is built on the concept of infringe now, deal with it later and settle on the cheap when caught.," Busch said.
Meanwhile, Miller said he hopes something good comes out of the lawsuit.
"I hope there will continue to be lawsuits with Spotify, as they continue to arrogantly go out and play the music even when they don't have the proper licenses," Miller said. "The backdrop of everything is music. We should get paid. Technology is not more valuable than the person that knows how to write that emotion in a 3 minute song that will change somebody's life."
NSAI continues to fight old federal laws in D.C. to help music creators make a living in the day of streaming music.
Spotify has settled similar suits in recent years for tens of millions of dollars. This is the first time a Nashville based publisher is taking on the streaming company in court.

By Bill Roecker
Coming home a day early flush with tuna, Sam Patella docked American Angler at Pt. Loma Sportfishing February 17, shortly after dawn, and let his 18 anglers off. The excellent catch of Hurricane Bank tuna included five cows. There were also a few yellowtail and three dandy white seabass, encountered not far from Turtle Bay on the way up the Baja.
The best tuna weighed 232 pounds on the boats scales. Unfortunately, Bill Miller wasnt entered in the jackpot. He said he got his yellowfin with a sardine on a 6/0 Mustad hook, 130-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon leader and 130-pound Line One Spectra. He used an Accurate 50 reel and a Calstar 7465 rod he built himself.
He beat the crap out of me, remarked Miller.
Galen Steward of Simi Valley won first place for a 223-pound tuna that sucked in a chunk bait on a 14/0 chunk hook swiveled by Burns Saltwater Outfitters. It fought for 20 minutes, he said.
The crew did a great job, noted Steward.
We had good fishing and nice weather.
Zeke Harloff of Oceanside won second place for a 218-pounder, but he also had a 207-pound tuna.
He wrecked me, said Zeke. Ive been limping ever since I hooked the big one.
Zeke also got his trophy on a chunk bait impaled on a swiveled 14/0 Mustad by Burns Saltwater Outfitters. He said he used 130-pound Soft Steel Ultra line and 130-pound Izor Spectra on an Accurate 50 reel and a Calstar 7465 rod.
Sponsor Ken Corwin of Kens Custom Reels in Oceanside won third place, for a 202-pound tuna.
He fished a sardine on a 5/0 ringed Super Mutu hook, with 100-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon tied to 130-pound Izor Spectra on a Penn 20 reel modified by Cal Sheets. He used a Calstar 7465 M rod.
It was about a 20-minute fight, said Ken.
Fishing was as good as Ive experienced. If you could flyline a sardine you got fish.
Phil Castillo of Newport beach and Mark Rubins of Carlsbad were two who found white seabass. Both used sardines on dropper rigs with eight-ounce sinkers. Phils fish weighed 50 pounds and Marks biscuit made 45.8 pounds, representing the best fish of the species so far this long range season.
The score as of February 18, 2008: 327 cows; 20 supercows.
Bill Roecker's Current Record Fish 2008
The following list includes the best fish of many species caught by long rangers in the last couple of years.
Best Albacore
John Wilson of San Clemente caught the best albacore of the year to come to a San Diego long range boat. The big longfin weighed 51.4 pounds, and Wilson got it while fishing aboard the American Angler on a six-day Kens Custom Reels trip. Wes Cougan was the sponsor on board.
Lori Patella of the Angler took the photos of the catch September 30, 2007 and provided the information. She said Wilson got the fish with a hot-rodded Pro Gear 545 from Kens.
Previous Best Albacore
Royal Star skipper Randy Toussaint weighed a big albie aboard his boat, and brought it home to Fishermans Landing August 5, 2007.
It was a 46.4-pound albacore caught by Kevin Butler of Santa Cruz, lifting the current record by about five pounds.
My sardine ran deep and hot, said Kevin. The fish bit it about 20 feet down and he just kept going down. He took half my line. Hes my all-time best albacore.
Butlers ten-minute scrap with the big Albert was conducted with a 4/0 Gorilla hook on 30-pound Big Game line, an Avet LX reel and a six-foot Calstar glass rod.
Biggest Bluefin
Four big bluefin bit for anglers fishing aboard the Polaris Supreme with skipper Drew Henderson, and three of them were decked. Drew weighed the fish on the certified scales at Fishermans Landing July 23, 2007 after the five-day trip.
Dick Emerson of Roland Heights won first place for his 134-pound bluefin.
Dick said he cranked that baby aboard in only 15 minutes on his single-speed Accurate 665 reel. The tuna took a sardine on a 5/0 Eagle Claw hook, on 60-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and 50-pound Big Game line. Emerson used a Fenwick 665 rod, he added.
Previous Best Bluefin
All 27 passengers and crewmembers witnessed a show of 100-pound-plus bluefin flying out of the water that will not soon be forgotten, wrote American Angler skipper Brian Kiyohara July 22, 2007. Not only were we fortunate enough to hook four fish, but we were able to land them as well.
Jared Zeable of Phoenix won first place for his 130.5-pound bluefin. He said it bit on a mackerel on a 7/0 Super Mutu hook tied to 60-pound Izorline. He used a TLD 30 reel and a Calstar 6465 H rod.
Other big bluefin on the trip: Michael Zeable of Phoenix got a 128.5-pound bluefin that won second place. Tom Szczeblowski of Yorba Linda won third place for a 124-pounder, and Barry Nicholas of Hermosa Beach got honorable mention for his 122-pound bluefin tuna.
Best Bigeye Tuna
July 26, 2006: The bar has been raised for the best bigeye of the new season, with a 110-pound fattie caught by John Wadden of Auburn aboard the Shogun. Wadden and his Will Fish Tackle partner Jack Hill sponsored the five-day trip with skipper Norm Kagawa.
Hes my best and only bigeye tuna, said Wadden at Fishermans Landing. He tried to take off the bottom of the boat! Ive got 50 yards of line now thats covered with the red bottom paint off the Shogun. It took about an hour.
Wadden won first place for his tuna, and said he got it with a sardine on a 1/0 ringed Mutu hook, 30-pound P-Line on a Trinidad 30 reel and a Calstar 665 H rod.
Previous Best Bigeye
July 14, 2006: An 81-pound bigeye tuna that came out of a school of albacore was the first tuna of its kind to come in on a long range boat this season, and it won the Polaris Supreme jackpot for rookie angler Carl Geosana of Whittier at Fishermans Landing. Geosana said he spent an hour and 15 minutes on the beast.
I almost went overboard when he bit, said Carl. He went down, and then he pulled me up to the bow, and I had to get over the anchor there at least ten times. He kept making runs, until the reel got red hot.
Carl said he fished a sardine on a 3/0 Eagle Claw hook, and used 30-pound Big Game line, a Penn 500 reel and a seven-foot Ugly Stick rod.
Best Yellowfin Tuna
American Angler returned home November 20, 2007 after a ten-day CME4TUNA charter that produced the biggest catch this season; a 359-pound super cow. Owner Brian Kiyohara was at the helm of the fifth annual charter.
On his first ten-day trip, Erik Kinoshita, of Torrance, hooked and landed the jackpot winning big bruiser. It was tail-wrapped at first, but about halfway through the fight it came undone and kamikazed right at us. I had a lot of help from the crew. We went around the boat several times. I was hooked up right before sundown and fought into night.
Erik fished a mackerel on a 4/0 Owner Super Mutu hook, 130-pound Izor Blue Top Shot with 130-pound Izorline Spectra backing, a Penn International 50 VSX reel and a Calstar 760 H rod.
Second Best Yellowfin
I can hardly wait to go back, Skipper Jeff DeBuys said after he returned Independence to Point Loma Landing November 21 after a Farallon Boats charter, a 10-day trip. There is some good fishing down there, we had beautiful weather and noon to dark drifts.
Bill Asbell, 68, took first place with a 356-pound super cow. I used a friends rod and reel, Bill said. I wasnt prepared for this stuff. The reel was toast when I got finished. I caught a 400-pound thresher shark in Cabo San Lucas 34 years ago, but this was a lot better fight.
Bill fished a 5/0 Owner Super Mutu hook, 100-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon liter, 100-pound P-Line Top Shot with 125-pound Spectra backing, a Penn 50 S reel, and a Calstar 6465 XH rod.
Best Yellowfin by a Woman
Robin Gist of Castaic won first place and became the woman angler with the largest tuna of the 2006-2007 season when she uncorked a 273-pound yellowfin on the scales at Fishermans Landing January 20, 2007 after a 14-day trip aboard the Shogun with Norm Kagawa.
Id like to thank the crew and the other anglers, she said. They all helped me a lot. And thanks for the loan of a reel!
Robin got her tubby tuna on a sardine and a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu hook, tied to 130-pound Izorline and 130-pound Izor Spectra backing. She used a Penn 50 SW reel and a Seeker 6455 XH rod.
Best Jigged Yellowfin
Returning after a 22-day trip with 23 anglers, Frank LoPrestes Royal Polaris docked at Fishermans Landing April 24, 2007. Fishing was hard at the targeted designation, Clipperton Atoll, so LoPreste moved to the Hurricane Bank to make his catch.
Mike Hieshima of Santa Barbara won first place in the jackpot for his 160.6-pound tuna, a fish that bit on a Salas PL 68 jig in glow-in-the-dark paint. He said he fished with 130-pound Izorline and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Penn 50 T high speed reel configured by Cal Sheets, and a Calstar 6460 XXH rod.
He bit the jig about four a.m., said Mike. It was darker than hell. He bit deep and stayed down until I cranked him up about 20 minutes later. This is my third trip to Clipperton.
Biggest Wahoo
Bill Hopkins won second place on the Independence and moved the bar for the seasons best wahoo up to 83.4 pounds. He got the whopper skin on a gold Raider jig, 40-pound line, a Trinidad 30 reel and a Truline seven-foot rod. The beast fought for 35 minutes, impressing the skipper, who was watching the fight.
That fish trashed my drags, said Hopkins said November 2, 2006 at Point Loma Sportfishing.
Second Largest Wahoo
Andy Cates docked Red Rooster III at H&M Landing March 25, 2007, after a 16-day trip sponsored by John Loftus and Larry Martin, with 20 anglers aboard. Art Green, Newport CPA, won a trophy for the largest wahoo caught, excluding trolled fish. Arts wahoo weighed 76 pounds and won a carved wooded wahoo clock.
Biggest Skipjack
August 18, 2006: On Royal Polaris, a 38.6-pound skipjack, the second-largest this reporter has ever seen. It was caught by John Yoneda of Escondido, who said hed look into its potential as a line-class record.
John got the giant skippie on a sardine and a 3/0 ringed Mutu hook, with 40-pound fluorocarbon leader tied to 50-pound Jerry Brown solid Spectra on a Tiagra 12 reel and a Calstar 700 H rod.
Best Yellowtail
The fourth-largest yellowtail ever caught by a San Diego sportboat arrived on a Red Rooster III with skipper Andy Cates August 27, 2006 after a seven-day trip to Alijos and Cedros Island.
The giant yellowtail was caught by Don Lyon of Pinon Hills, and it weighed 84.4 pounds on the certified scales at H&M Landing.
He came off the bottom, said Lyon, where we fished in 24 fathoms. After he came up about 50 feet he started pulling really hard. He made three or four runs. About 20 minutes later, I got him to the boat.
Don said he fished a scad mackerel on a big Mustad 9/0 hook. Ive had a box of em for about five years, he remarked. I got em to fish big tuna. This was the first time I needed one.
Lyon used 80-pound blue Izorline in his dropper loop rig with a 10-ounce sinker, and a 6/0 Penn reel and a Daiwa five and a half-foot rod. He posed for numerous photos, including the jackpot lineup, where he was fourth, by four ounces.
On Egg Sinker
Tim Ekstrom docked Royal Star June 22, 2007 after a five-day trip with 25 anglers.
Eddie Marty of San Diego was the chartermaster, and he won the jackpot for a huge 58.1-pound white seabass.
I got him in about 15 minutes," said Marty, on a sardine I put down with a four-ounce egg sinker.
"I used a 4/0 Mustad 92677 hook on 40-pound Izorline.
"It was a Seeker Black Steel 6470 rod.
Best Dorado
Mike Lackey docked his Vagabond November 5, 2007 after a nine-day trip with 16 anglers that visited the southern banks and a new area for wahoo fishing.
Greg McCloud of Seal Beach posed with the winners with his season-best dorado of 46.8 pounds. The big bull ate a mackerel on 30-pound line.
Next Best Dorado
On the Shogun January 20, 2007, Eugene Wong of LA had a first; the first dorado off a long ranger this season that weighed over 40 pounds. Wongs fish weighed 44 pounds, a dandy bull that took a sardine bait.
Hes my best yet, said Wong.
Best Halibut
A 50-pound halibut arrived aboard Norm Kagawas Shogun June 22 after a five-day trip with 21 anglers.
I just made a cast for yellowtail with a sardine, said Frank Withee of Anaheim (no relation to Point Lomas Lance Withee), and I got a birds nest, and while I was working on it I got hit. I thought it was the rocks, but it shook its head like a lazy yellowtail.
Five minutes later Frank had the whopper flatfish up to the boat. It weighed 50.2-pounds on the certified scales at Fishermans Landing. Frank said he used a 4/0 Mustad hook, 30-pound Ande line and an eight-foot rod of uncertain make.
Previous Best But
We had good fishing for better yellowtail tight to the lee side of the island, remarked Shogun skipper Norm Kagawa on May 24, 2007 after a five-day trip. And we got a really big halibut, along with a couple of smaller ones.
Kagawa weighed the best of his catch at Fishermans Landing. The halibut won first place.
I just put a sardine on the dropper loop down about 80 feet, and wham! said David Smith of Laguna Niguel, I got bit right away.
His big but weighed 48.4 pounds on the certified scales. He said he used a 4/0 Mutu hook, 50-pound Izorline, a Tiburon reel and a Calstar 6465 XH rod to haul in his prize in about five minutes.
Broomtail Grouper
According to the IGFA record book the biggest broomtail grouper ever caught weighed 100 pounds. The all-tackle record holder was caught by Ernesto Jouvin off the Ecuador in 1998. That makes the 114-pounder caught by Mark Yang aboard the Shogun look pretty large indeed, but he didnt say anything about applying for a record.
Yang fished with skipper Norm Kagawa and 27 other anglers on a five-day Flash Fishing charter trip to Cedros Island, where a dozen other broomtails were caught, along with an excellent catch of large yellowtail.
I thought this one was a yellowtail, said Mark at Fishermans Landing June 27, 2007. It fought for about 20 minutes.
Mark said he fished a sardine, and used an 1/0 Owner J hook, 30-pound fluorocarbon leader and 40-pound Spectra on an Avet MXJ reel and a Seeker six and a half-foot rod.
Season's Only Escolar
The seasons only escolar came to Jason Severn of Petaluma, who weighed his 31-pound, strange-looking critter at Fishermans Landing after stepping off Polaris Supreme July 23, 2007.
Some scientists think the escolar may be a progenitor for tuna.
The escolar bit on a squid that Severn was fishing in the dark.

3-02 Power combo: Concealed Hand + All Chows + All Simples
All Simples is easy to build, since most of the tiles count toward it. However, it only scores 2 points. But add Concealed Hand and All Chows, and the hand is suddenly very close to finished.
Figure 1
Take Figure 1. You're one tile away from making ready on Mixed Shifted Chows, but our recommended play is to break up the hand and discard . Once you make a hand like the one shown in Figure 2, you're very close to finishing.
Figure 2
If the player to your left discards , claim it to complete Mixed Shifted Chows.
You cannot go out on an opponent's discard, but if you pick the tile yourself you'll score Fully Concealed Hand (4 pts.) + All Chows (2 pts.) + All Simples (2 pts.). In other words, with a combo of these three hands, you're guaranteed to make the minimum 8 points.
Remembering this simple fact will make it easier to build hands properly. For example, take Figure 3.
Figure 3
You could discard or to be one tile away from making ready with a Mixed Straight. But you would do better to discard and leave your options open, rather than rely on two specific tiles ( and ).
Let's assume you follow our advice, and make ready with the hand shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4
You've lost the Mixed Straight, but you can go out on an opponent's discard with this hand, since it scores Concealed Hand (2 pts.) + All Chows (2 pts.) + All Simples (2 pts.) + Closed Wait (1 pt.) + Mixed Double Chow (1 pt.) for a total of 8 points. The combo of Concealed + All Chows + All Simples gives you 6 points, so you need only add two more through some combination of Mixed Double Chow, Pure Double Chow, Short Straight, or one of the 1-chance waits. The best strategy is often to avoid narrowing your possibilities, and concentrate on building chows with the simple tiles.

What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is specifically concerned with diagnosing and treating tooth misalignment and irregularity in the jaw area.
Orthodontics is one of many dental specialties. The word "orthodontics" is derived from the Greek words orthos, meaning proper or straight and odons meaning teeth. Orthodontics is specifically concerned with diagnosing and treating tooth misalignment and irregularity in the jaw area. Initially, orthodontic treatments were geared toward the treatment of teens and pre-teens, but these days around 30 percent of orthodontic patients are adults.
There are many advantages to well-aligned teeth, including easier cleaning, better oral hygiene, clearer speech and a more pleasant smile. Though orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) suggests that an orthodontic assessment should be performed around the age of seven. The earlier orthodontic treatment begins, the more quickly the problem can be successfully resolved.
Orthodontics is a technologically advanced field which offers many sophisticated solutions to malocclusions and other cosmetic problems. The orthodontist will generally perform a visual examination, panoramic x-rays and study models (bite impressions) in order to assess the exact nature of the discrepancy. When a diagnosis has been made, there are a variety of orthodontic treatment options available.

'Buck Norris,' the Famed Bend, Oregon Mule Deer, Hit By Car [VIDEO]
The well-known city limits mule deer, known as "Buck Norris," was struck by an automobile and confirmed dead on Friday.
Buck Norris was estimated around 9 or 10 years old with a long history in the town of Bend, Oregon. On Friday, he was hit by a car on 3rd Street in Bend, and was killed.
Here's a report on the incident, showing just how famous this deer was to the outdoorsmen of the area.
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed his death after the carcass was discovered. The buck had an ear tag (#35), which was put on by ODFW last year after the buck was detangled from some heavy wire.
Unfortunately, vehicle-wildlife collisions are all too common and this buck's city limit protection ultimately became his downfall.

More good news for civilisation, and bad news for Blunkett and New Labour.
The Court of Appeal today ruled that detaining people without trial is contrary to the human rights laws. About time - these people have been in prison for three years now. Massive vote, too - eight to one. Let's hope the detainees sue the government for millions. Far better to spend my taxes on that than on bombing civilians in Iraq.
Not quite over yet, though, since the new Home Secretary had refused to release them. I'm not sure what the fallout will be if the court says one thing and the government refuses to back down. I guess we'll see...
Even during the darkest Thatcher years we never had tyranny quite this bad.
Found out that I was a little hasty earlier in bemoaning South West Trains. Apparently a bunch of Fathers For Justice activists got onto the line into Waterloo and started climbing gantrys etc. Si Railtrack reduced the speed for safety reasons. Perfectly reasonable, I suppose, in the cold light of day.
As for Fathers For Justice, they're certainly grabbing publicity for their cause, but can they really expect sympathy when all they do is cost thousands of people time and money? Serve them right if these irresponsible buggers killed themselves whilst attempting their stunts, and do they really think people care if they ever see their kids again. Its just not the way to go about things.

I think Don Mclean was an amazing songwriting and artist. I agree, he did sing from the heart, and American Pie was a dark story of America falling from glory and losing many things that were dearest. I really enjoy this song, and I always have. I think it has many great messages we could all take away from. Love, death, and being grateful for the time that we have before we die. He touched on many topics in a way that wouldnt you put you off from it. Most artists that talk about religion, or 'saving your mortal soul' would make you want to change the station. But the upbeat tempo, and fun atmosphere keep you listening. If it werent for the events of James Dean, JFK and other horrible things that happened do you think Don Mclean would still be known like he is today? Do you think he would have created such a song without those topics to write about? One more thing I would like to mention, make sure you pay extra attention to your sentence structure and usage of periods and commas.

Oh and also couple of things I should probably mention, I download lots of torrents my download/temp directory as of now is assigned to C(system) .. could this have an empact? although I think have sufficient space (228gb drive, 68gb free right now), could this be part of the issue?
Sometimes when I restart my system, it goes goes to shutting down windows screen and ... it just stays there ... for 5 even sometimes 10minutes .. no idea why though and interesting thing is ... even sometimes if I shut down windows right after starting, it still happens, I'm no techie but I assume theme issues are connected? or not? anyhow perhaps these info would help determining whats causing the issue.

Just now i tried check disk on C Drive and it wouldn't let me so i scheduled and restarted the system and it wouldn't start at all .. tried restarting, system error recovery etc and nothing worked so i thought to run a system diagnostic test "WCMch Test" and it showed following error
Error 0123
Memory Integrity Test Failed
Error Code 2000-0123
after this system still wont start, anyhow after a few attempts it started, afterwards i googled about this error and it seems many dell users like me suffered from this issue, most results suggests its a hardware issue and to be specific its ether faulty ram or ram slot/faulty motherboard issue but the strange thing is when i ran the test it was displaying 8 cpu with their addresses and on all memory test cpu 2 failed so i'm wondering if this is actually a software issue or hardware and if hardware, is it the processor or ram or the motherboard?

From going over your screenshots it seems that Avast maybe at least one culprit (although those event viewer issues don't mean anything, they're calibrated for a much more powerful computer than either of us are ever likely to own). While it's true that Avast is causing Windows 7 to start slower than normal, that might be typical (and thus normal) for Avast. Avast may be doing precisely what it's supposed to be doing in other words but Event Viewer views it as degradation.
Can you just confirm for me that you ran CCleaner and followed the steps I outlined above?
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2015
yes I did and it improved my systems reboot time a bit .. but its much slower, but to answer your question yes it works, total clean removed about 2.5gb contents, so I guess thats good.
but now i'm confused about the random "no boot stats" along with super slow reboot

Honestly I cant make heads or tails out of this, I do understand that it shows my systems boot time and the degradation shows individual programs etc times but I clearly have no clue how to fix something, please advise.
Also can you please advise how do i generate a full boot log with all files necessary to evaluate whats causing the issue and find possible fix?
What happens on a cold boot rather than a reboot? Does the initial boot take a long time? If it doesn't - ignore anything I've written below!
Avast Service takes 41 seconds to load - that's quite long compared to security related services on my machine that take betwen 7 and 13 seconds to load.
In Boot Degradation check the Event ID column and look for anything with a higher value in milliseconds than Avast. Let us know if you find anything.
I'm no expert on Avast so proceed only with care and perhaps wait for advice from other members.
For test purposes only - switch off your router and do not connect to the internet without an Antivirus program running.
As far as I know you can click on the Avast icon in the system tray and choose to disable permanently.
Turn Off (Pause, Disable) Shields in Avast Antivirus 2015 | getavast.net - disable all shields permanently.
It should then be possible to stop the Avast service:
Start > Run then type:
Press enter.
Scroll down the list and find the Avast service and right click then choose to stop the service. Then set it's startup type to disabled.
Reboot. Note the time taken.
Undo all of the above steps in reverse order to re-enable Avast and switch on your router. Then reboot.

@ ThrashZone
"You download allot of torrents but it shows only being installed a month ago :/"
* That shouldn't be right because I installed utorrent like years ago or so ... I rarely uninstall it, perhaps the date you saw is its update date maybe?
Timing wise is there a relationship with your issue ?"
* I'm not absolutely sure but I think not, this issue is been happening for a while now (I didn't give it much thought cause usually I don't turn off the system unless some software or windows updates forces a restart.) but now with the memory issue, I would like to get this fixed or if its hardware related, then possibly find a solution to the issue.
"Torrents are great way to pick up more than what you planned on "
I know that but I mostly download serials, only the mkv/avi etc files, I try not to download unnecessary files etc but then again it could be the issue, is there any way to determine?
@ Callender
"What happens on a cold boot rather than a reboot? Does the initial boot take a long time?"
It still takes about the same time with random "no-reboot" issue.
About your avast suggestion, I will do the suggested test but I may have another issue, I restarted my system about 3 times today after creating the new custom event viewers but when I click "Boot Time" or "Boot Degradation", it only displays events from yesterday evening, even though I restarted my system like 5/6 times since then ...
Is this an issue or could it be that windows generates these info after specific time period/day basis rather than boot/event basis?
Also any idea if this could be related to hardware, based on the error I found on my memory test+google search results with the given error code?
Thanks again for the help guys!

Could just be Avast scanning these probably large files :/
Review Jacees instructions to run Adwcleaner here post #7,
Ignore the title of the thread,
Screen shot of the download button to use for Adwcleaner
You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
Manually Update them before running full scans,
Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
See this tutorial on how to download and run Malwarebytes,
Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,
Please Do Not clean/ Delete or Remove Any detections before posting the scan results first before review especially Malwarebytes,
SAS is safe to remove anything it finds
This one is the longest up to 4 hours, the others are only about 45 minutes,

Marijuana has been trumpeted by some as a risk-free miracle drug but demonized by Trump's attorney general as "only slightly less awful" than opioids and heroin. Of course, like most things in life, the truth falls somewhere in between. What is clear, however, is that medical marijuana may be one of the best weapons in America's arsenal against the opioid crisis. Trump and company repeatedly expressed their sympathy and willingness to action in combating the crisis on the campaign trail; yet, now that he's in office, his administration's lackluster approach is simply a hypocritical affront to the very communities he pledged to help. Unless the Trump administration changes its course on medical marijuana, Americans will continue to die in a fruitless moral crusade against legitimate solutions.
America's opioid crisis is no small issue. According to a surgeon general's report, 27 million Americans are users of illegal drugs or misuse prescription drugs. Furthermore, "78 die every day from opioids alone." 2015 was a particularly bad year, with over 33,000 deaths that involved an opioid and daily deaths jumping up to 91. While the areas most heavily impacted are rural, this crisis knows no borders, impacting every region of America. At home in South Carolina, 761 deaths were reported in 2015, or nearly as many people who died on state roads in the same year. According to CDC data, drug overdoses now kill more people than vehicles, with every race and age bracket heavily affected. This crisis isn't getting any better. Only rapid and decisive action will save American lives.
The Trump administration's plan is about as far from rapid and decisive as you can get. Instead of utilizing existing data and recommendations, the administration believes that a commission is the best way forward. This is, at best, a symbolic gesture. In the words of a former Obama administration official, "These people don't need another damn commission. We know what we need to do. ... It's not rocket science." He's right, we've had data and recommendations from some of the smartest medical minds in the country for years now. Worse yet, the commission will be run by Chris Christie, of Bridgegate fame, a man who staunchly opposes one of the best solutions to the problem, marijuana.
Medical marijuana has been a frequent topic of discussion in recent years, with 29 states having legalized it. In fact, an AP-NORC poll found that 61 percent of Americans support legalization in one form or another. And for good reason, recent studies have indicated that medical marijuana can help a plethora of conditions, ranging from epilepsy to glaucoma. Even more robust studies have found that medical marijuana can help patients deal with the nausea associated with chemotherapy and with chronic pain ailments.
Lessening chronic pain is the most promising application of medical marijuana, at least as far as the opioid crisis is concerned. The crisis has been driven by a massive increase in pain medication sales since the late 1990s, largely prescribed to help patients with pain. Drug manufacturers incentivized doctors to prescribe more pain medication, misled doctors on the potential for abuse of many of these medications and marketed opioids directly to consumers as a veritable cure-all for chronic pain. In the process, millions of Americans were given prescriptions to opioid pain relievers with high potential for abuse and little oversight. As a result, addiction and overdose deaths have spiked. Of particular concern is when patients gain tolerance to the opioids, when patients can no longer afford their prescriptions or when a patient's prescription ends. In these cases, patients, still in pain or now addicted, will sometimes seek illegal sources for these pills, or even turn to heroin.
As far as chronic pain is concerned, medical marijuana has wide-reaching applications. One review on the benefits of marijuana looked through 10,000 studies done since 1999 and came to the conclusion that marijuana can, in fact, treat chronic pain. One study found that "states that had legalized medical marijuana prior to 2010 had a 25 percent lower rate of opioid mortality than those that didn't." Another study carried out by the University of Georgia found that, in states that have legalized medical marijuana, prescriptions for pain medication covered under Medicare Part D were 12 percent lower. If medical marijuana is, quite clearly, a valuable tool in the fight against the opioid crisis, why aren't we using it more? The problem lies with draconian drug laws, scientific illiteracy, lobbying and ancient, out-of-touch politicians.
Two of the most influential players in the continued research on and expansion of medical marijuana are the attorney general and the secretary of health and human services. Unfortunately for anyone who cares about saving American lives, Trump appointed two staunchly anti-medical marijuana conservatives to this role, Jeff Sessions and Tom Price.
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is our current attorney general, and he's hellbent on checking the growth of medical marijuana in the United States. Here are some choice quotes from Sessions: "Good people don't smoke marijuana" and the KKK "were OK until I found out they smoked pot." Given that, one can assume that Sessions isn't a fan of medical marijuana in any form.
Until now, medical and legal marijuana, in states that allow it, have been under little threat from the federal government. While the drug remained illegal at the federal level, the Obama administration refused to enforce this on states that passed laws allowing medical or legal marijuana. Sessions, on the other hand, has been hinting at a possible crackdown on marijuana by enforcing federal law on the states. This would kill an industry projected to grow larger than manufacturing, it would cut a large number of chronic pain patients off from their best chance at living pain and opioid-free lives and it would enrich Session's private prison buddies. Private prisons, which rely on high numbers of prisoners to remain profitable, have a lot to gain from heavy-handed enforcement of federal marijuana laws. But Sessions and his zealously anti-drug beliefs are just one hurdle, the other comes from the secretary of health and human services.
Tom Price, former representative from Georgia, is the current secretary of health and human services after his appointment earlier this year. Price is very anti-marijuana, so much so that his voting record in Congress was rated a "D" by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Now that he's in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services, he and his backward views will be able to have a heavy influence over the various agencies overseen by HHS, primarily the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the Federal Drug Administration. His control could stifle what little research is done into the effects of medical marijuana is done by the CDC and NIH and could kill what little hope there was that the FDA could pressure the Drug Enforcement Agency into rescheduling marijuana.
Sessions and Price both seem to believe that marijuana really is the "devil's lettuce" and not a tool public health desperately needs to save American lives. Despite all of the studies and medical opinions they have access to that indicate that new solutions like marijuana could save thousands of American lives, these scientifically illiterate, moralist zealots continue to fight an easy, cheap and profitable solution to America's homegrown rot. The opioid crisis will not go away if we continue with our current course of action, that much is clear.
In the end, the failure to fully utilize marijuana for its public health benefits will fall on the man who nominated Sessions and Price. If Trump doesn't formally shift the course of his underlings, then he will show his callous disregard for all of the anguished communities he promised to help during the election.

This weekend was a good one, I had a trip to Barnes and Noble, more on that soon. J, my MIL and I had a nice lunch at The Dutch. I had my go to Brie burger and salad. This time I mixed it up and had their truffle oil salad dressing. So good! Being that it is Winter it gets so dark so fast, so my hopes of taking pictures was quickly dashed to bits.
Sunday I went to a basketball game, the Marist Lady Foxes played Momouth. I went with my Mom. We had a nice day together. I'm not really into basketball, but any live game is more fun than watching them on T.V.

The transformation of the bathroom and toilet has been remarkable
Actually, we were very happy with the work done on our major bathroom. And toilet renovated by Yvonne, Jason and their team from Bathrooms in the Making.
They gave us helpful advice in the planning process and were able to suggest less costly, but perfectly suitable, alternative materials to enable us to stay within our budget. The transformation of the bathroom and toilet has been remarkable.
They were committed to the deadline we were facing for the work. And completed everything in good time. During the period of the work, they were in daily contact with us. And proved to be flexible as aspects of the project changed during the renovation process.
The tradesmen who worked on specific aspects of the project were efficiently coordinated. And there were no unnecessary delays over the time of the renovation.
All tradesmen took an evident pride in their work, and the end result certainly met our high expectations. Follow-up on minor issues needing adjustment was immediate. The transformation of the bathroom and toilet has been remarkable.
We are happy to recommend Bathrooms in the Making as a no-nonsense, professional group which produces an outcome of a high standard.

It contains lots of vitamins and minerals that are good for the whole family, and it's downright incredible that you can obtain them in such a simple, cheap way. Just set aside the water you used for cooking, add a little cinnamon, and store it in a glass bottle. It's delicious. It doesn't contain calcium, which is the reason why the major commercial producers of rice milk enrich their products with this mineral. But don't worry about that – you can get your calcium in other vegetables and nuts (as you might remember, cow's milk isn't as healthy for you as previously believed). So what if we start drinking rice milk today? We'll explain why you should.
1. Rice milk, great for your skin
That's right, and this is mostly due to para-aminobenzoico acid, one of the components that helps protect us from the sun's harmful rays. It's an antioxidant and acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent for your skin. Remember, we have to care for ourselves from the inside out.
2. It fights premature aging
Did you know this already? Indeed, rice milk is rich in a compound called inositol. What does that do? It promotes healthy cellular growth and delays the aging process even further by increasing blood circulation. This makes our skin appear brighter, more toned, and with greater elasticity. It's an economic option that's worth keeping in mind. What do you say?
3. It gives us energy
Rice milk is energizing. So it's great for drinking in times that we're sick or have lost our appetite, because we only need to have two cups a day to obtain good amounts of nutrients and keep from getting dehydrated as we regain our health. It's especially suitable for children and the elderly. And just so you know, doctors believe it's good for women who are nursing, because it stimulates milk production.
4. It improves digestion
Rice milk is a healthy, natural way to improve the digestive system. It makes our intestines work more efficiently, promoting healthy intestinal flora, and prevents that bloated feeling we get sometimes when we eat. You'll feel great, so don't miss out.
To wrap this up, rice milk is good for the whole family, and it's perfect for drinking in the afternoon and evening. But remember that it doesn't contain all of the minerals you need in the day, like calcium. Beverages made from nuts or oats have more nutrients, for example, so just use rice milk as a supplement to your healthy daily diet. Don't assume that it will cover all the nutrients that you need in the day, because it won't. But it's a great addition to your life – a drink that provides energy and promotes good digestion, just don't forget to supplement it with nuts, vegetables, fresh juices, fiber, and protein. It's also especially good for us women, particularly for daily skin care. Are you going to pass this up?

Bears in a window 1
by maggie
When I mentioned Bears in a window a couple of weeks ago I wasn't thinking very hard about the subject – it was just another series of sketches in my Window book. But saying something about the motif, meant I was doing something about it, and over the weeks I've discovered that I had a lot of assumptions about it that I hadn't acknowledged.
A little window in the outside wall of the back parlour, and on it's window ledge, one of few in the house, lives a collection of wooden Russian bear (and rabbit) toys.
In 2013 I had a go at drawing them, because – interesting light shadow, and overcrowded shelf
And there the bears (and rabbits) sat, until I worked up the courage to make a work a little more personal.
Then it got hard, because as these images sit the window is little more than a frame for the crowd of bears. And I wanted the composition to work harder than that. I wanted the whole things to work harder than that but I didn't quite know how…
If I know the size of the plate I could work from there, big enough,small enough to fit.
So the composition wasn't flowing well. Go back an have a proper look again. Try and pick things apart for why they aren't working.
I like windows as a thing because:
- you've got the whole inside / outside thing going on
- passive or active looking
- the actual physical window makes interesting patterns
- perspective means they are not square, but you brain tells you they are
- light and shadows
- they are a people thing without actually having people in them
Back to the drawing board.
And I haven't even discussed how much I like the bear with his fur ruffs and matching accordion, or how hard it is to draw his snout face on. I've written so much text for this post I can't remember what I've said or not.
I'm making problems with these quick sketch in pastels, because the orange wall stops abruptly and looks like an additional frame.
Better but work out how the bear fits into the window space.
The far ear is still really wrong, but this drawing picks up the fascination with the fur and the squeeze box.
Are we getting somewhere?
I looked at this and thought – this doesn't have to be a print. I'm struggling so much with tonal prints…
I did some test plates with various emery/sand papers and ink/medium.
Needs more work to get the tonal variations I was hoping for, so might not write it off as a print.
Next question how is bear in relation to window? and dimensions of plate?
Things to do
- Learn bear better and any rabbit minions
- decide how much window to include
- light from inside or outside
- finished medium?
- keep questioning
- don't panic if no answer immediately presents itself

Oh dear Tristan.....
3.5 stars. This is definitely one of my favourite series, and I have read/listened to all the other Miro/Ian stories, but this one suffered from a problem I've encountered on quite a few of Tristan James latest narrations....pronunciation niggles, and I don't know if it's the script he's given to work with by authors/publishers [his narration of Jordan L Hawk's Hexbreaker also had several very noticeable mistakes, hence no more audio for me for that series], but this one had an absolutely unforgiveable error in it as far as I'm concerned....the province in Afghanistan where Ian was left stranded by the army colleagues who didn't have his back is called Helmand, NOT Helmet!! I couldn't believe my ears and listened to that particular section three times, but I got the same answer each time and it's just not good enough!! Lots of men and women have died serving their country in that province in Afghanistan...couldn't Dreamspinner Press/the production team/Audible have checked before releasing the audio?? So, so disrespectful and disappointing......

This series just keeps getting better!
What made the experience of listening to Tied up in Knots the most enjoyable?
Every damn thing! Seriously. Mary Calmes is an amazing author with the ability to literally bring emotions to life with words. Tristan James is a fantastic narrator with the ability to breath life into those words and emotions.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Miro, always Miro. I do love Ian, but there is this little quirk with Miro's personality that makes him so endearing and almost... naive in a way, when it comes to Ian, only with Ian. It's hard to explain, you'll just have to listen.
What does Tristan James bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
He adds dimension to the story. I read this book and loved it, couldn't put it down. Same thing with the audio book, I didn't want to stop listening the story, plot and characters are just so engrossing. James really brings out the emotions of the characters with subtle nuances and tone inflections.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was and I tried, but I had to sleep at some point.
Any additional comments?
Love this Author and this narrator, perfect marriage of words and sound. If you are a fan of the Author, Narrator or series, it's a no brainer. Lot's of action, suspense, comedy, tragedy and Ian and Miro tug of war in the bedroom.
My e-book review....
Miro Jones wants his happy ever after with his partner both at work and at home, Ian Doyle. Problem is, Ian is a soldier through and through, and Miro is starting to wonder when just loving him will be enough for Ian. Left alone more than he cares to be, Miro is adrift without Ian there to ground him. Ian doesn't hide Miro, their relationship or the way he feels about his partner. So why isn't it enough for Ian to stay put and be the constant Miro needs him to be?
I think this series gets better with each new book. I really enjoy the way Ian and Miro are written as these alpha male personas, and yet, when they are together and alone it is always about them and only them. Miro is forever getting his ass handed to him by criminals, suspects and a certain psychotic serial killer that is convinced Miro is his soul mate. Ian is forever loosing his shit because the love of his life is battered and bruised... again. But lord, when they come together it is this raw, animalistic, electric connection that radiates off the pages like lightening.
The secondary characters in this series are just as vital and elaborately written as Ian and Miro. From Miro's gaggle of gal pals that think he hung the moon, much to their husbands and boyfriends dismay, to Chickie, Ian's beloved dog that is one third dog, one third wolf and one third horse! I didn't think Calmes could ever bring another fictional couple to life and make me love them as much as Sam and Jory (Matter of Time series) but she's done just that with Ian and Miro.
I seriously hope this isn't the last we see of Ian, Miro, Chickie and the wide variety of other characters that make this series so amazing.

'A' Warm Welcome Indeed
Today the State of Hockey was formally introduced it's newly inked superstar players forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter.
The men assembled to be formally introduced as members of the Minnesota Wild, sitting behind a table on a riser along side Owner Craig Leipold, General Manager Chuck Fletcher and Head Coach Mike Yeo.
Each got their sweater for the first time, Suter # 20 and Parise # 11
There was something extra on the left upper chest of each, a large can't miss Alternate Captains 'A'
I'm not going to lie I got chills seeing this on each man, a near unprecedented action for any player joining a brand new team. It speaks to the genuine character and leadership qualities of each man.
Zach Parise didn't even notice his 'A' until a member of the media pointed it out 🙂
The Captain 'C' will continue to reside and rightfully so with Wild center #9 Mikko Koivu, but with #9, #11 and #20 wearing the letters the leadership of the Minnesota Wild is in great hands for years to come.
Wild.com details todays events, and also has lots of related multimedia available enjoy!

Awesome. From Dave at ProgreeOhio:
Strong American Schools is a nonpartisan public awareness and action campaign offering a voice to every American who supports ?ED in 08.? The goal is to ensure that the nation engages in a rigorous debate and to make education a top priority in the 2008 presidential election. They expect candidates to offer genuine leadership rather than empty rhetoric and tell voters how they intend to strengthen America?s schools so all students receive the education they deserve.
Take a minute and check out the site. Bloggers can get some buttons here.
[Note: Their button code is FUBAR. You'll need to remove a ' from in between the " …or at least i did.]
And pronouncing it should also be easy- especially after seeing that CNN commercial with Christiane Amanpour correcting everyone:
"It's EAR-AK not EYE-RACK…" (also EAR-AN not EYE-RAN)
But I guess more Americans take their pronunciation cues from Mr. Bush than from Ms. Amanpour.

It's been almost 30 years since she was first elected to Durham's Board of County Commissioners. Now, Commissioner Becky Heron, 83, says she's ready to step down from her seat, effective Aug. 1, to take some time for herself and her family. Heron has also had some medical issues that caused recent absences from commissioners' meetings, and she says that also factored in her decision.
Heron, elected in 1982 and currently serving her 13th term, made the official announcement of her mid-term resignation at Monday's meeting of the board of commissioners. Her colleagues on the board praised her service and recounted some of her accomplishments.
"If she's fighting for you, you've got a great crusader working on your behalf," said Durham County Attorney Lowell Siler.
Heron has been a relentless spokeswoman for environmental protections, the humane treatment of animals and services for the elderly. As Durham County Manager Mike Ruffin noted, Heron also cast one of the deciding votes that made Mayor Bill Bell the first black chairman of the Durham Board of Commissioners.
Bell and Heron had a lot in common and both wanted to bring more transparency to the public board, Ruffin told Heron at Monday's meeting: "He, like you, wanted to see decisions made in the board room and not the back room," Ruffin said.
In recent years, Heron has been an advocate for improvements to the Durham County animal shelter and the start of Durham's senior center. She has also staunchly opposed the controversial 751 South development near Jordan Lake, a development that took nearly five years and several votes to get through Durham County's approvals process. Heron has served on myriad local and regional boards. (See her résumé.)
"I cannot think of anyone who has served their community more," Commissioner Brenda Howerton said.
After praising her years of community work, the board made plans to ask for a recommendation to fill Heron's seat for the remaining year and a half left in her term. In accordance with state law, the Durham County Democratic Party would recommend an appointee—a recommendation the four remaining commissioners could accept or reject when they vote for a replacement, Siler explained. The commissioners planned to discuss the process in more detail at a future meeting.
Heron won't be far away, she said—likely she'll take a seat in the front row at some meetings, watching the board and commenting alongside regulars such as Lavonia Allison, president of the Durham Committee Affairs of Black People, and a fellow community activist, Victoria Peterson.
The commissioners have one more scheduled meeting before Heron's departure date on Monday July 25. The board has 60 days from the effective date of Heron's resignation to fill her seat.
"Whoever's sitting in this chair here," Heron said, "I hope you do your best to keep it straight."

Tulsa Police on Thursday released dash cam footage of an officer running over 21-year-old Madison Dickson as she allegedly fired at police.
KFOR reports that Dickson "was wanted for a string of gun-related crimes, including shooting one man in the head and shooting a woman in the arm during an attempted carjacking." She had been charged "with shooting with intent to kill, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, unauthorized use of a vehicle, attempted larceny and discharging a firearm in a public place from incidents on March 11 and March 12."
On March 18 police were chasing Dickson when she allegedly opened fire on them. A dash cam recording picked up the sound of the shots and appears to show Dickson point a gun at the pursuing officer's car:
Authorities say the sound of gun shots was Dickson allegedly firing at them and two officers firing back.
A dash cam recording from another car on scene has also been released:
Dickson died from injuries sustained in the incident.

During a special occasion, flowers are often given to celebrate! However with people leading busier lifestyles, more and more people are looking to get their flowers ordered online and delivered.

Research reveals that people feel more compassionate towards others, have less worry and feel greater happiness when fresh cut flowers are present. Yes, it is fact that fresh flowers feeds compassion, boosts energy, and improves happiness and enthusiasm. - taken from freshflowers.com.au
Fresh Flowers vow to pick and cut the freshest flowers for whatever need arises. They deliver to most capital cities, territories, metropolitan and regional areas in Australia (except in some areas which are not covered by their standard delivery service). However if this situation arises, they will personally contact you and arrange something for the delivery.
Looking for international deliveries? No worries! FreshFlowers.com.au also delivers overseas as part of Interflora. They also provide same day delivery if you order before 2pm on a weekday and 10am on Saturday. They do not deliver on Sunday or public holidays. More information can be found on their FAQs.

Now with the introductory stuff out of the way, let's get on to the review!
I ordered a Delightful bouquet which is sold for $79.95, and paid $10 for the delivery.
Ordered: 8 July 2015. I wanted the bouquet to be delivered the next day, on the 9th.
Delivered: 9 July 2015 5pm.
Sadly, when you order you flowers, there is no option for your to choose which time you want it to be delivered.
The person who delivered the flowers was efficient, knocked on the door, asked for my mother (I ordered the flowers for her), and presented it before going on his merry way.
The Delightful bouquet is described to contain a gorgeous mix of gerberas, lisianthus and premium roses. It is colour coordinated into purple and pinks! It is beautifully wrapped in a green non-woven wrap, their signature hessian overlay and green satin ribbon with a height of 40cm.
The wrap is incredibly sturdy, as there are a couple layers. However the little mesh part does tend to shed slightly.
You can write a message for the person to be delivered to! On the green card is the recipient's name, inside is the carded message AND flower food to make sure your flowers last a long time. Wonderful!
It has been almost a week and the flowers are still vibrant, though most have slightly wilted and become limp.
My mother was extremely surprised by the Delightful bouquet, she loves roses!
All in all, this website provides a vast array of bouquets, plants and flowers for every occasion. The website is easy to navigate and efficient. Payment was a breeze. The only problem is that you are not able to select which time you want it to be delivered. If no one is home, you can write whether you want them to rearrange another delivery time or to leave it at the front door/at the neighbours.
