"Amana is supposed to be good?"
I run a preschool out of my home so I need a heat pump that works when its 101 degrees outside. I replaced our huge old Lennox that worked fine for 10 years with a same tonnage but smaller Amana. This Amana didn�t work well from the start. Finally figured out the expansion valve was bad. I had the local one hour heating shop the recommended and installed the unit replace the old valve and it finally has worked like its supposed to for about 1 year. Now it looks like the pump/motor is seized up. I can�t wait to see what this will cost. Oh and it did have a bad circuit board replaced as well.

"Amana junk pumps"
I have two of these Amana heat pumps installed by the contractor. In 7 years, the upstairs unit has had two evaporator coils and an outside fan motor replaced at a cost of about $2,000. The downstairs unit has had an outside fan motor and evaporator drip tray replaced at a cost of about $750. These units are nothing but trouble, I would never buy one again.

"I love it"
I bought a 16 seer 3 Ton Heat Pump, It runs great, It has saved me a ton of money over the gas furnace I had before.
Location: Hampton, VA
Years owned: 2
Satisfaction Rating:
We have the whole, heat pump/air unit. It works very well - - when it works. We have had 6 service calls in less than two years. Now at least once every 6 - 8 weeks we have to shut the system down and restart so it will cool or heat rather than just circulate air. We have not seen the energy savings promised. We expected a lot more for a system that cost nearly $10,000. (Yeah, we really feel like we were ripped off - big time)!

Satisfaction Rating:
We built our home and had 2 Amana units installed. One for up and one for down. The downstairs unit has been fine. But it does not run as much as the upstairs unit, we have gas logs downstairs, and in the summer it is partly underground, so it stays pretty cool w/o running the ac unit. For the past 5 years, every season, we have had to have our Amana unit upstairs worked on. We've had coils replaced, condensers, & the compressor. Now it is completely down again (new season), and here we are w/o A.C. yet again. We have to have the whole system replaced, and of course there is no warranty left. Don't buy this system!

Satisfaction Rating:
I've read the other reviews. I don't have enough space but let me tell you their warranty is bull. I won't say I could buy a Trane with what I have spent on warranty but I sure could have bought the top of the line Trane and had money left over if I would not have spent the money on this. What junk. Should have listened to my cousin but I was too cheap. If anything else goes wrong I am going to have to change it out !!!!

Satisfaction Rating:
Stay away at all costs on any Amana Heat pump. In 30 months we are on coil number four and still runs constant during 40 degree and over 80 degree weather. Dealing with their corporate is a joke and after spending over $14,000 on a total new system with ductwork, I would have been better off keeping our Katrina flooded system, at least it still worked (for how much longer I will never know) Very loud startup and shoutdown of this system. Don't see this system in our house for another summer. There only offer to us was $300.00 to sign off on all previous failures of their system.

Satisfaction Rating:
We bought and had the heat pump along with the air handler installed 4 years ago. The heat pump started to give us problems within months. Now the coils have to be replaced along with the refridgerant. Parts are covered by warranty but not labor or the cost of the refridgerant, which will run us about $800. We are more than dissatisfied. We're angry!
Satisfaction Rating:
Bought it for the name and advertised warranty. 1k rebate. 3ton unit. Runs continually. Will not switch temperature without going into auxilary heat mode. Heat strip fried, unit froze, new swithces,ect. 7 trips from the company repairmen and still not fixed. Less than 2 weeks old. 18 seers of trouble.

VIA's Linux Dreams Are Not Materializing
Posted by Michael Larabel on May 24, 2010
Back in 2008 there was the announcement from the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in Texas that
VIA had joined the open-source driver bandwagon
after having
abandoned previous open-source attempts
. However, for the past two years, this has largely been a media bluff. VIA Technologies did things like
appoint an open-source liaison
(Harald Welte, who is actually no longer contracted by VIA and didn't even do much for their efforts), launch a VIA Linux web-site (that is ill-maintained and two years later there are still portions of the site "under construction"), but they have done some things like
put out some code
republishing old documentation
. We're almost half-way through 2010 and it doesn't look like VIA will be doing much this year for their open-source graphics drivers.
In late 2009 an article was published entitled
VIA's Linux TODO List... Maybe Look Forward To 2011?
where we looked at their actual efforts since their 2008 open-source announcement and then at their newest TODO list they had shared with the open-source community. In that TODO list, VIA's Bruce Chang talked about "VIA has been having a dream to host VIA's developing source in public" and that they plan for a TTM/GEM module in Q2'2010, kernel mode-setting for VIA in H2'2010, and a VIA Gallium3D driver in Q4'2010. At least publicly, however, there is not much work going forward and this is far from going as planned where back in 2008 VIA had said in their original announcement they would be providing quarterly driver updates.
We're more than half-way through the second quarter and there are no signs of any TTM/GEM memory management support being imminent. Even if something were to materialize before the end of June (but we wouldn't bet on it), there may be waiting until the Linux 2.6.36 kernel for the DRM code with memory management support to be accepted into the mainline Linux kernel unless it's accepted late in the 2.6.35 cycle -- the merge window is open right now but not for much longer.
If VIA does publish new Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) code that offers Graphics Execution Manager / Translation Table Map support for in-kernel memory management on VIA hardware, it may be another challenge just to get the code accepted by the open-source developers. VIA's previous efforts to inject their DRM into the Linux kernel
have been rejected
multiple times for various reasons from code problems to there not being open-source drivers (but rather VIA blobs) that actually take advantage of the DRM.
Having DRM code with proper memory management support is a prerequisite for having kernel mode-setting (KMS) support and a Gallium3D driver, so this may in turn end up delaying the rest of VIA's open-source schedule too. This is all while VIA has said
they will not provide an open-source Chrome 9 3D driver
and that
they were looking for the community to make them a Gallium3D driver
. On top of this, VIA still has yet to provide any new code or documentation for their newest chipset -- even just for basic DDX mode-setting support -- and code/documentation is still missing for older ASICs.
VIA's open-source efforts are still lousy at best as they just continue dreaming of being "open-source friendly" and playing the Linux community. They really aren't much better than NVIDIA's open-source strategy, which consists of
recommending the VESA driver
until their proprietary driver can be installed. At least with NVIDIA there is an active community (Nouveau) that's doing the reverse-engineering work and open-source enablement.
We'll keep monitoring the situation and also see if VIA has anything to say on the matter. So far this is just looking like VIA's open-source attempts from years earlier where they just ended up
dropping open-source support

Recognizing the many benefits achievable though the use of ADR processes, as well as significant successes in other states, the Honorable Robert M. Bell, Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals, created the Maryland ADR Commission in 1998. He charged the Commission with advancing the appropriate use of mediation and other innovative conflict resolution processes throughout Maryland's courts, neighborhoods, schools, government agencies, criminal and juvenile justice programs, and businesses. Chaired by Chief Judge Bell, ADR Commission members included judges, public officials, legislators, ADR practitioners, community members, lawyers, business representatives, educators and others.
Working with over 700 people around the state, the ADR Commission developed a consensus-based Practical Action Plan titled Join the Resolution. To implement the plan, the ADR Commission evolved into MACRO (Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office), which currently supports pilot projects and offers assistance to numerous ADR programs, educational efforts, and services in courts, schools, community mediation centers, State's Attorney's offices, juvenile justice programs and government agencies across the state.
Maryland has won national acclaim for its multi-faceted approach to ADR as well as for the Maryland Judiciary's leading role in helping to prevent disputes from reaching a stage at which court intervention is necessary.

iPhone 4S drawdown ahead of Apple's next model is smaller than expected
Suppliers are said to be less concerned about Apple's expected decrease in production of the iPhone 4S ahead of a new iPhone model, as sales of the 2011 smartphone remain strong.
Analyst Brian White with Topeka Capital Markets met with suppliers this week during a trip to the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan. He said he did not sense much concern from those suppliers regarding the ramp down of iPhone 4S production ahead of a next-generation iPhone launch.
"In fact, the overall tone was a bit better than we expected and one company even seemed to be experiencing upside from this program in (the second quarter of 2012)," White wrote in a note to investors on Friday.
He has maintained his projection of 30.9 million iPhones sold in the June quarter, which would represent a sequential decline of 12 percent White's discussions with suppliers convinced him to hold on his estimate, while other analysts on Wall Street are trimming theirs.
For example, analyst Robert Cihra with Evercore Partners announced this week that he has trimmed his June quarter iPhone estimate to 28.8 million units, down from his previous prediction of 31 million. He noted that sell-through of the iPhone 4S is "solid," but he expects sell-in of the device to begin cycling down ahead of a sixth-generation refresh.
Cihra also said he has been unable to pin down whether Apple's next iPhone will launch in the month of September or October. He said he considers a September launch to be "more likely than most."
The analyst has forecast a monster, record shattering quarter for Apple in December, with the next iPhone pushing handset sales to 49 million in the three-month span. He said the potential upside is well over 50 million based on what he called "aggressive early build plans and massive demand anticipated for the adoption of LTE and new form-factor."

UC FREEZING TUITIONfrom Eyewitness News Online University Of Charleston Freezing Undergraduate Tuition For 2013-2014 Reported by: Jeff Morris Web Producer: Jeff Morris Reported: Mar. 19, 2013 4:04 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
The University of Charleston said it will freeze undergraduate tuition for the 2013-14 school year, keeping the school's tuition more than $5,500 below the national average for private universities in the United States. University President Ed Welch said in a news release Tuesday that this will keep the cost of UC-Charleston's tuition and fees at $19,500 for undergraduates for the second year in a row. UC-Beckley and UC-Martinsburg locations will continue using a pay-per-credit cost structure. Many course costs will keep their same rate, while some health science courses will see minor increases. "While the University of Charleston is expanding its enrollment and locations, we are committed to holding down costs to be affordable," Welch said. "Attending a private university is a rewarding experience, but the perception of many Americans is that it isn't attainable. We want to show students and their families that earning your degree at UC is financially possible." Nationally, tuition has increased significantly over the last 10 years for students. According to College Board, average tuition and fees for private institutions have risen 26 percent during that time, while public school tuition and fees have increased 61 percent. UC-Charleston's current tuition falls $5,521 below the national average for private schools 2012-13 tuition and fees, and $420 below the 2002-03 average. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

" | This isn't goodbye. This is... until we find a way. We're immortal, remember? We will find a way. | " |
Tyler Lockwood is a main character who is a hybrid and plays for the football team at Mystic Falls High School. He was a werewolf until becoming the first successful hybrid after Klaus.
Tyler is a member of the Lockwood Family.
He is the son of Richard Lockwood and Carol Lockwood, and the nephew of Mason Lockwood who was a werewolf. He was initially portrayed to be arrogant, selfish and a bully. But after triggering the family curse that turned him into a werewolf, he has learned to tone his behavior down.
Before this revelation, he was referred to many times as a "dick," by both Matt Donovan and Jeremy Gilbert. He is shown to have an athletic build, and great strength as a human. He also has a short temper and becomes angry very easily. He didn't understand why he behaved the way he did, until Mason came to visit after Richard Lockwood's death.
Contents |
After discovering that the werewolf gene runs through his family, Tyler was scared to become a werewolf himself and his fears became true when he accidentally killed Sarah and triggered the curse. Caroline Forbes, a vampire who wasn't his friend, offered her support to him, helping him through his first transformation and preparation for his new life. Tyler eventually fell for Caroline, but questioned their relationship when Jules, another werewolf and Mason's friend, told him that Caroline and two other vampires, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, killed Mason. Finding out that this was true, Tyler felt betrayed and leaned towards the werewolf brethren. He hesitated to help Caroline when she and the Salvatore's were at the brink of death, which hurt her, causing her cut off their friendship. He was the one who revealed Mason's plan to break the curse to Jules and her boyfriend Brady. He then helps them find the moonstone and the doppelgänger. Stefan reveals to Tyler that Jules and Brady had lied to him and that Elena would die in the ritual to break the curse. He releases Stefan who kills Brady before he can capture Elena during which time the rest of the pack is killed by Elijah. He then decides to leave town with Jules, the only survivor, with a promise that she wouldn't lie to him anymore. After receiving a phone call from his mother telling him that she had an accident and was in the hospital, Tyler and Jules returned to Mystic Falls. They were both captured by Maddox and Greta Martin, witches working for Klaus, and were to be used in the sacrifice that would make Klaus a vampire/werewolf hybrid. Tyler and Caroline, who had also been captured for the sacrifice ritual, were rescued by Damon, who was later bitten by Tyler during his transformation. Tyler and Caroline eventually start a relationship, which becomes rocky when he becomes Klaus's first successful hybrid. His life made much easier with the transformation and Tyler becomes very respectful of Klaus, trying to sabotage his friends' plots against him.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series
Untriggered Werewolf
In the beginning of series, Tyler had a very aggressive, arrogant and selfish personality. He showed this many times for example when he had fights with Jeremy Gilbert over his girlfriend Vicki Donovan. Tyler behaved like this because of his werewolf gene. In Season 2, when his uncle Mason came to town, he learned how to control his anger and tone down his behavior. But after discovering that his family carried the werewolf gene, Tyler was scared to become a werewolf himself.
His fears came true when he accidentally killed Sarah and triggered the curse. Tyler felt guilty for killing Sarah and when he discovered Caroline Forbes is a vampire they became friends and she helped him get through with his first transformation but he almost killed her when he was a wolf but she came back when he was back in human form. After this she became his friend then girlfriend.
When Tyler became a hybrid he started being his old self and he became very loyal to Klaus because he took the pain of transformation. In season 4 we see a new Tyler, this Tyler puts his friends and family before himself and really cares about Caroline, in Memorial He showed great sacrifice and bravery in Pastor's funeral when he interrupted the chant and stood on the stage to get the hunter's attention and give his friends especially Elena a chance to escape from Connor's trap .
Physical Appearance
Tyler has tanned skin, short black hair and dark brown eyes. His height is about 5'7 to around 5'8. Tyler has a muscular and toned body. Like all werewolves, his eyes will turn yellow when he becomes very angry. In his werewolf form, Tyler's fur is black and his eyes are yellow. In human form, Tyler often wears black jeans with a t-shirt and a jacket. On special occasions, such as parties, he wears a black suit. In Season 2, he starts wearing leather jackets.
Richard Lockwood
Tyler and his dad never had a good relationship, because he was a horrible parent and treated him badly. On several occasions, Richard has had to step in because Tyler did something in public where Richard felt ashamed of him. Whenever Tyler and Jeremy got into a fight at a Career Night at Mystic Falls High School, Richard and Alaric stopped it, and Richard brought the two of them outside. Tyler's dad tried to get the two of them to fight each other, even though they didn't want to fight anymore. Tyler's dad also had a talk to him when Tyler got into a fight with Matt and then pulled Tyler to the side and hit him and told Tyler That is the last time you ever embarrass this family again. On the Founder's Day, Richard is angry at Tyler for not going home when he was asked to. It was the night of rounding up the vampires and he didn't want Tyler to be in danger. or it could be he doesn't like it when his son disobeys him, and doesn't like it when he doesn't do what he says, and being controlling then he grabbed Tyler on the he`s arm, and says to his son if I tell you to do something you do it, then Tyler tells him to get off me, shows that he has finally stand up to his father, and that he finally has enough of his father`s controlling attitude. doing his father's funeral Jeremy Gilbert comes in Tyler`s father's study to comfort Tyler, saying that when my parents died everyone said my dad was a great guy, but Tyler said in your case that was true, your dad was a great guy, but my dad was a dick, shows that he wasn't above disrespecting his dead father at his funeral, and that he didn't have any respect for his father, after the funeral he revealed to his mother that he has always hated his father, for treating him badly, After Richard's death, Matt Donovan made fun of Tyler's dad and poured alcohol over his picture. Tyler gets mad or it could be that he believes that pouring alcohol on a dead person's picture is wrong. Tyler never talks about his father, because he doesn't want to be reminded, of what kind of person his father was, and once to forget about him completely.Carol Lockwood
Tyler seems to have grown up with a distant, but somewhat positive relationship with his mother. It is only after the death of his father that Carol began to have a closer relationship with her son. When Mason Lockwood disappeared once again, Carol informed Tyler that "I guess it's just you and me now." Although he doesn't show it very well, Tyler is clearly fond of his mother, even returning to town after her accident.
Caroline Forbes
- Main article: Tyler and Caroline
When Tyler triggered his curse, Caroline Forbes wanted to help him. Though Damon demanded her not to be his friend, she did. Tyler once asked whether she is a werewolf, Caroline laughed and said she is a vampire after a skirmish. When the first Full Moon came, Caroline helps him through the first transformation and it seems they form a special bond. The two become closer and eventually began a romantic relationship. Due to Klaus falling in love with Caroline, their relationship has become strained.Klaus promised that he will kill Tyler and Caroline pleased Klaus to let him live.Klaus told her to tell Tyler to leave town and hide which after a painful goodbye he did. They leave each vowing that they will find a way to be together again.

Powers and Abilities
- Transformation Control: Hybrids have the ability to transform at will and anytime that they desire. This makes them able to avoid obligatory turning during full moons. They can also perform partial transformations such as showing their wolf-eyes and teeth.
- Werewolf Bite: Due to their werewolf heritage, a hybrid has a bite which is fatal to vampires, but the hybrid bite takes effect quicker than a normal werewolf bite. Werewolf venom is always accessible to them as opposed to their werewolf counterparts who can use it only when transformed.
- Lycanthrope Enhancement: Hybrids are capable of using their wolf features to supplement their abilities.
- Hybrid Claws - Hybrids can grow claws from their nails, even well they are still in their human form, it is unknown how sharp a hybrid claws are, well klaus was still in tyler's body, it was shows that a hybrid's claws is sharp enough, to penetrate a hybrid's very durable skin, and is able to rip another hybrid's heart out.
- Dream Manipulation: Hybrids can control dreams and subconscious like vampires. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapping in dreams.
- Emotional Control: Due to their vampire heritage, hybrids are able to exert certain control over their own emotions. They can turn off their humanity.
- Immortality: Hybrids stop aging once turned. Upon their transformation, a hybrid becomes immune to all conventional illnesses, diseases, virus and infection and therefore will live forever unless they are killed due to a weapon, weakness or methods that might kill a normal vampire or werewolf.
- Mind Compulsion: Hybrids can compel the minds of humans.
- Healing Factor: Given their joint vampire and werewolf heritage, a hybrid's ability to recover from injury is far greater than those of either individual parent species.
- Super Speed: Hybrids are faster than any werewolf or some vampires. Hybrids can use this abilities in human and wolf form. This appears to be one of Tyler's more pronounced traits as a Hybrid, able to take advantage of Klaus' five second headstart.
- Super Strength: Hybrids are much stronger than werewolves or vampires, but because of their vampire heritage their abilities get stronger with age, just like vampires and werewolves. Their wolf form will boast their power due to the werewolf side. A newly turned hybrid can go toe-to-toe with a 165-170 year old vampire such as Damon, who was on the verge of dying at the hands of Ray Sutton until Stefan saved him.
- Super Agility: Hybrids possess superhuman agility. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
- Daytime Walking - Since hybrids are capable of consuming food other than blood due to their werewolf heritage, they do not have the weaknesses regarding sunlight nature caused vampires to suffer from. They can move around during the day and in the sun without the use a day walking ring.
- Immunity to Silver - Due to their werewolf heritage, magic bonded to silver doesn't affect a hybrid. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound heals at super-normal rates than regular wounds.
- Gilbert Device: A hybrid can be affected by the Gilbert device.
- Vervain: Hybrids are affected by vervain like their vampire counterparts.
- Wolfsbane: Hybrids are affected to wolfsbane like their werewolf counterparts.
- Uninvited Invitation: Due to their vampire heritage, hybrids are unable to enter a home without an invitation.
- Magic: Witches are able to give supernatural aneurysms that cause the blood vessels of non-original hybrids to explode.
- Decapitation: The act of dismembering or removing the head of a hybrid will result in death.
- Heart Extraction: The act of removing a hybrid's heart will result in death.
- Hybrid Bloodline: Hybrids who were turned by Klaus who turned others will die if Klaus is staked with the White Oak Stake.
- Hunter's Curse: If a hybrid kills a member of The Brotherhood of the Five then they will be tormented by the hunter until they kill themselves or if the hunter is replaced then they will be free of torment.

- By coincidence, that was also his Crowning Moment of Awesome!

for David Wechsler
We begin at the end, with two encores, one from Mark Lanegan's recent Blues Funeral European tour, the other from a walk-on appearance during the Twilight Singers' 2006 Powder Burns U.S. tour. We move on to a blues-heavy covers album, then a television broadcast, then an older album, then an older concert. Neil Young once sang, you know how time fades away; sometimes it even fades backwards.
"Harborview Hospital" (Academy 2, Manchester, UK, 5/3/2012)
Eight nights into a European tour that began somewhere called Rockerfeller in Oslo and will end somewhere else called Sala Bikini in Barcelona, he's wrapping up an intense, mostly wordless-except-the-music evening (he rarely talks between songs; even when he introduces the rest of the band, you can barely hear him or make out anyone's name) before a Monday-night concert hall full of blokes, few of whom would remember him as a Screaming Tree or a Queen of the Stone Age, never mind a Soulsaver, most of whom either know him as a Gutter Twin and occasional Twilight Singer — same difference; both involve Greg Dulli and a rotating band — the other half of an Isobel Campbell duet, or the man behind what's eponymously known these days as the Mark Lanegan Band.
Someone would refer to him as "the king of bleak" in The Guardian a week later, but two songs into the encore we can only hear the echoey wall of guitars of Unforgettable Fire-era U2, his gruff, husky Tom-Waits-as-crooner voice (the same rock critic will call it a "deathly growl") almost bouncy, as if he were rewriting "A Tisket, A Tasket" with new words like "they're riding, they're riding / a hellhound down the hill, / they're sinking, they're sinking / into the ocean, beautiful and still," eyes barely open as he winces, his black mane flowing, mane and mic, t-shirt and tunic and trousers wrapping him in black like a rugged Snape from Harry Potter, or an even more rugged Neil Young.
Other words, phrases used to describe Mark Lanegan or his music: stark, dark, dense, dirgelike, brooding, narcotic, bare his soul, demons, densely beautiful, the Dark Side, soul-tormenting despair, junkyard ambience, the perpetual night of gloom, a dark old record, drenched in melancholy, damaged grandeur. Even the majority of his album titles border on the macabre: The Winding Sheet, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, Scraps at Midnight, Blues Funeral. "He's dressed like night and his eyes are mean," wrote New Musical Express in 1998, when Lanegan was a mere 33 — perhaps meaning that 14 years later he would be here, wearing black, eyes narrowed, every troubled memory of walking past an old rehab in Seattle a dart in the otherwise bouncy melody. But the words and the way he delivers them work with the music as much as they oppose it, the same way "I saw a young girl who didn't die" in Neil Young's woeful, barely-post-Cobain "A Dream That Can Last" means both a young girl who died and a young girl who didn't....

On the surface, King of Kong is a documentary about Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, who happen to be two of the greatest Donkey Kong players ever to grasp a joystick. The film documents the lives and stories of these two men as they battle back and forth for top score and ultimately world record honors. We, as viewers, are also given a peek inside the window of the competitive gaming industry itself as much attention is paid to Twin Galaxies, the organization that keeps all the world record scores for pinball and video games.
This is a documentary of awesome proportions. I am not sure if it is the editing, or the production, but this thing comes together splendidly and leaves viewers desperately wanting more! The film makers here do a great job of portraying drama, building suspense, and playing the characters off of each other. The way the battle plays out between Steve and Billy is the stuff of legend and this documentary really makes you feel the good versus evil rivalry. Most viewers will surely want to punch Billy's lights out by the time the end credits roll. For those of you who would automatically discount a film about classic video gaming, I would urge/beg you to reconsider. It would be a great injustice to deprive yourself of such a fun time.
Although to the uninformed eye, this film is simply about video games, there is definitely something deeper going on here that you will surely pick up on once you watch. This thing really touches on the heart individual psychology and just exactly how winning-obsessed our culture has become. Watch this movie. Please.

About Shar
Staging Careers
"The home in Eden Prairie you staged for my client's sold in 3 days and above list price! Thanks again!"
- Paul, Realtor
"Your advice on all the cosmetic changes to the house and your artistic touch on furniture selection and placement made our house look great. Surely, this "whole package" from you helped seal the deal in such a short time." I'm sure glad our Realtor recommended you.
- Collin, St. Paul, MN
" Shar, thank you for staging my property. You and your team are very professional and caring about the property you are doing and keeping in touch with all time frames, changes, etc. I enjoyed doing business with you and will be again in the future. thanks!"
- Gary, investor
"Shar recently staged a new construction home listed for sale. Unlike the other design and staging companies I interviewed, Shar was extremely collaborative and took the time to understand the project and my goals. The result was an interior that was consistent with the design of the home and, frankly, was absolutely stunning! The staging immediately turned an empty house into a warm and inviting home. Feedback from agents and buyers has been fantastic. I look forward to working with Shar and Rooms with Style again. Thanks Shar!!"
- Michael, home builder, Minneapolis, MN
"I so loved having you here today. Your advice feels so right, and it is totally the best $200 I've probably ever spent as it will certainly save us far more money when we come to sell and everything is perfectly staged to appeal to the next owner. There were many things I know I would have botched and ended up wasting money on a poor decision."
- Maureen, Bloomington, MN
"I was so excited when I walked into the house! It looks AWESOME! SO CUTE! I sent before and after pics to the seller and she was very excited as well. I think seeing the before and after really makes an impression and really shows how staging really helps with the first impression!"
- Tovi, Realtor, Eagan, MN
"Shar was in and out of our home in just a few hours. The transformation was awesome and garnered repeated favorable comments from realtors and potential buyers about how attractive our showings were. Home staging is definitely one of the basics to be included when selling your home…but make sure Shar is the one in charge."
- Frank and Roselee, Apple Valley, MN
"I really enjoyed your help on staging my house for the real estate market. Your professionalism and trained eye changed my home into a look that will appeal to the buyer. You are fun to work with!"
- Cheryl, Eagan, MN
"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for helping us with staging our townhome a couple months back. After 6 weeks of de-cluttering, moving, cleaning, shopping, and rearranging, we put our home up for sale last Saturday. Our Open House was on Sunday, we had 8 showings by Thursday and 2 offers on Thursday night. We accepted an offer that ended up being above our asking price! Your advice was so valuable to us. I just wanted to let you know that we couldn't have done it without your help! We close at the beginning of April, and we will definitely be calling for help with our new home :)".
- Heidi, Lakeville, MN
"I wanted to let you know that your 2 hourS of staging advice led our hand toward a very quick offer and sale of our house in Richfield. We met with you in our home and made color, furniture purchase and placement decisions based upon your advice that really made our showings pop!"
- Mark, Richfield, MN
"Thanks to your staging we have a contract on the house."
- Nancy R., Realtor
"There is no doubt in my mind that the staging is the reason we got an offer so quickly."
- Dave O., Realtor
"Of all the stagers listed on the internet I sure am glad I picked you."
- Amanda A., Investor
"Dear Miracle Worker, You are totally amazing!! The house looks major WOW! We had about 7 groups through and this time they ALL spent much more time in the house and no negative comments this time!!! I love it!! Can't wait to get the pics up on MLS tomorrow!."
- Pat K.. Realtor
"Shar—thank you so very much for helping us prepare for the sale of our family house. The empty house has transformed into a home. Your little touches, i.e. the over-turned book on the nightstand, the table set for dinner, the beautiful pillows and artwork bring the rooms to life…My father who built the home 46 years ago came back to visit and to see the staging--he got emotional and said, 'it looks beautiful!' On behalf of our family, thank you, thank you, thank you!!"
- Kathy, Richfield, MN
"The house never looked so good, will you come to New York when we buy a house?! No, really, I love the way it looks, much roomier ! Got most of the things done that you recommended, but running out of time to do them all. I love the new light fixtures, wish we had done them sooner!"
- Jutta, Burnsville, MN
"My Mother's 5 bedroom 4 bathroom home was on the market for 11 months when I hired Shar Sitter to stage one floor of the home. I had resisted tearing out carpeting and removing all furniture until Shar informed me that prospective buyers were likely calling the home "dated" because of the antique furniture still in the house. I was reluctant to repaint the main floor a warmer color but did so at her suggestion because I was really tired of checking on the house every day and wanted to find a new family for this home.
The house was staged on a Thursday and sold the next Tuesday. Family, friends and eBay customers were thrilled with the staged rooms as well. Thank you Shar for your absolutely essential help!"
- Mary Jo, St. Paul, MN
"I am absolutely thrilled with the results that we have experienced with Shar's staging advice. We have experienced significantly more positive feedback from our showings. Shar's professionalism and knowledge are second to none. We even have sellers that have asked Shar into their next home to provide decorating advice. I give Shar and Rooms With Style my highest recommendation to anyone."
Chad Pederson
Pederson Realty
"Shar transformed my empty house into a charming, cozy home. After being on the market for 6months without an offer, our house sold in 4weeks with several offers to choose from, I'm sure in large part due to staging. Over my years as a homeowner I have contracted with many different services for my home. I can honestly say Shar's customer service and quick (almost instant at times) response to my questions or concerns, was the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Shar!"
- Amy, Mpls, MN
"I want to thank you SOOO SOOO much for everything you have done to help us sell our house. All of the feedback we've received has been so positive and we haven't heard anything negative whatsoever. You have been so wonderful to work with. I can't think of a single person that I've had to deal with in all other aspects of this whole process who was more professional, caring, flexible, generous, and honest as you have been. Really, you are just the best!!!!!"
- Kimberly, Mpls, MN
"Nice work! The house sold in 1 week flat! It was the right price and it was staged beautifully, hence the quick turn around."
- Joel, Mpls, MN
"OH MY GOD!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Looks like a DIFFERENT HOUSE!!! I took over 20 pics, but can only use 9."
- Pat, Realtor, Eagan, MN
"We wanted to let you know that our house sold! We ended up with multiple offers - - due in large part, I'm sure, with your wonderful staging. We got lots of great comments/feedback about the staging."
- Sarah, St. Paul, MN
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Shar and her team. They were organized, professional and orchestrated their work like a finely choreographed dance. They used quality pieces in perfect condition and did so with a superb eye for design. Shar continually went above and beyond whenever possible. The entire team was mindful of keeping my home clean and well protected, but best of all, produced results - a SALE!"
- Sarah, Mpls, MN
"It doesn't look like the same house! What a great job redesigning all the rooms in my home."
- Ada, Eden Prairie, MN
"Thanks to your excellent staging we were able to sell the house! The house was on the market for 13 months before staging and we got an offer within one week after you staged it! Thanks for a job well done."
- Matt, Mpls, MN
"Thank you for your Home Staging recommendations. It helped to sell my home in two days! Adding the 2" blinds, repositioning the dining room table and adding the modern panels in the living room enhanced the appearance."
- Alba, Eagan MN
"I am so pleased with the changes to my living room and dining room. Until you arrived, I hated the furniture and contemplated throwing everything out and starting over. You helped me see that the actual pieces are not as important as the placement. Now, the room just flows and feels so open and comfortable. I still can't believe it all happened for only $200."
- Lori, Dan and Olivia, St. Paul, MN
"I can't believe the transition in my home. Pieces I have had for several years have taken on a whole new look just by being repositioned. My house has finally become my home and I love every inch of it. My husband, who didn't believe a change was needed, is as excited as I am. His response: "Wow!" We both sit in the family room in the evening and just gloat at how great it looks. Who could have guessed!"
- Vicki W., Cottage Grove, MN
"My homeowners are thrilled with your services. Their house sold in eight days after implementing your suggestions and they are singing your praises!"

"As a realtor who insists on a high level of service to my clients, referring Shar to my clients is easy...she surpasses the level of service! She is prompt with her follow up, generous with her time and ideas and not afraid to jump in and get something done on the spot! I have worked with other stagers and by comparison, Shar's professionalism, style and eagerness to provide the best service puts her above the rest. I would (and do) highly recommend Shar to any and all clients."

Events of AGF
The AGF regularly organizes national and international conferences, meetings and discussions on well chosen, current political questions in collaboration with its member organisations. These events create an opportunity for the exchange of opinions, the formulation of political requirements and the development of effective implementation strategies.
- Event for all families on 06.-08. September in Berlin. Conference, speeches etc. will be in German. More information
Reports of the AGF-events
Children, Care and professional work - what does families help to overcome time pressure?
An AGF conference held on 22 November 2012 in Berlin, referring to the currently published 8th Family Report. The Documention will be coming soon (German only).
The Right to Family Reunification – The European Directive and national implementation in the current discussion. AGF Expert Meeting on 22 June 2012
Since 2003, common EU-rules on the right to family reunification of third-country nationals living in the EU have been installed. A European directive defines the conditions of entry and residence for non-EU family members joining a non-EU citizen already legally residing in a Member State. Besides, in some Member States (e.g. Germany) these rules also concern national citizens who have chosen a partner from outside the EU. Only the right to family reunification gives them the chance for a normal family life as it is habitual for most families in Germany and Europe. However, these regulations may also include rather strong obstacles.
Expert meeting on 08 September 2011: The reduced VAT rate in Europe - Opportunities for Effective Support for Families
An expert meeting of AGF and COFACE at the representation of the European Commission in Germany
Documentation of the conference: Child Poverty in Germany and Europe -Where are we at the End of the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion?

European Expert's Meeting, 14th November, 2008: Children need Future – for an Europe without Poverty!
The event was directed at representatives of family-political and child-political organizations as well as at well-known scientists and academics from the European member states. In focus was the exchange of ideas and exchange of experience among the masses, the causes and the results of child poverty in the European member states as well as the search for common suggestions on solutions.
Symposium, 21st November 2007: Child Poverty - a Structural Challenge
The results of poverty appear with children in nearly all areas of their life: Poverty leads to disadvantages in educational opportunities, to poorer health, to social exclusion and to damaged self-confidence. This conference placed the main focus on the institutions concerned with child poverty and structures in Germany. As well as this, the question as to how the present political and institutional structures themselves contribute to the solidification of this poverty was posed.
DNK conference, 19th-20th of March, 2007: Meeting Place Europe - Families and Generations on New Paths
The demographic development in almost all European countries is one of the biggest challenges for the member states of the EU. In the conference of the German national committee (DNK) of the world Family Organization the relevant subject complexes were consolidated in collaboration with the AGF: Those including relations between the generations, mutual and lifelong learning as well as support of the families for the protection of a united community.

Symposium, 09th-10th of November, 2006: Education Competence and the Borders of Diversity

Documentation: Education Competence (in German, 3 MB)
Symposium, 24th-25th of October, 2005: The Family-appropriate Tax Revision - which Tax Policy do families need?

Thus it was clarified which family incentive schemes other European countries use and which alternative models could perhaps also be relevant for Germany.
Documentation: Family-approbiate Tax Revision (in German, 3MB)
International symposium, 15th-16th of November, 2004: International Year of the Family - 10 years later. The family as a Mirror of Social and Political Developments
What has changed for families after the international year of the family in 1994? Which quantitative and qualitative results can be recognised? This stock-taking on the current situation of families was supplemented with the search for perspectives for a European family policy.
Expert discussion, 07th June, 2004: The Seventh Family Report - Questions and Suggestions on the Issue of "Child-conditioned Poverty"
This discussion with members of the expert's committee on the seventh family report 'Future of the Family - Social Changes and Social Cohesion' enabled the AGF to draw attention to important family political necessities, in the run up to the report.

4-H Participants Go Head-to-Head With Tough Competition At The State Fair
By: Kayla Moody
Updated: August 10, 2012
"It's way different up here," says Klueg. "Up here everybody takes it serious -- you've got the best of the best. I'm glad I got to come."
Klueg says the state competition is a different experience than the Vanderburgh County 4-H fair. "With showmanship, I didn't place at all and I'm not upset because I know several other wonderful showmen that are up here and they haven't placed at all either and it's really surprising at the competition and how heavy it gets."
Sisters Lindsey and Lacey Wilzbacher have competed at the state fair most of their lives. This year both are showing swine at the fair.
"My favorite part of showing pigs is showmanship because it's a big competition, not between pigs but between you and the other 4-H'ers, and seeing who can drive their pig the best and put it in the right spots," says Lindsey.
Both agree with Klueg: the state fair is a new level of competition. "It's a different ball game cause most these kids show all year around and they put a lot of money and effort into this," says Lacey.
Lindsey says the state fair is "a totally different environment" than the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fair. "In Vanderburgh County you see 80 hogs and up here you see hundreds," says Lindsey.
Klueg says attending the state fair for the first time will help her give other first-timers advice in the future. "I would tell them don't get discouraged if your grand champion doesn't even place, because a grand champion at home could get last place here," says Klueg.
Despite the tough competition, the competitors say -- win or lose -- they're still having fun showing off their hard work.
The Indiana State Fair kicked off last Friday. It ends August 19th.

I'm having a problem changing the Paypal checkout button on a client's Zen Cart site. I've changed the MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_EC_BUTTON_IMG declaration in /includes/languages/modules/english/payment/paypalwpp.php and it's fine on my local development version of the store, but after uploading the amend and the new image I'm not seeing any changes on the live store. I've double-checked the live code through both my FTP software and my hosting company's online FTP access and the change is live. I can't find anywhere else that declares - or overwrites - this constant, and I've used both my editing software and the Developer's Tool Kit to search for it.
I've tried the obvious things like a force refresh, and clearing my browser cache. Still no joy. Any suggestions/advice would be welcomed! The site is www.turnerscabin.co.uk and the button should be this version: http://www.turnerscabin.co.uk/images...ssCheckout.gif
Thanks in advance,

(Above: A Turkish military truck transports a mobile missile launcher in Hatay province near the Turkish-Syrian border. Turkey deployed troops to the Syrian border, building pressure on President Bashar al-Assad. REUTERS/Ahmet Seher/Ihlas News Agency.)
Visited this evening with colleague Larry Kudlow, CNBC, to speak of the Iran threat to Israel and what is to be done? My best information is that Jerusalem has changed its political calculation based on the opinion that POTUS Obama will be re-elected. The presumption in Jerusalem is that a second term Obama administration will favor the Islamists of the Middle East and will tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran. Therefore Jerusalem is considering that it has maximum leverage to attack Iran before the vote. Why? Because POTUS Obama is foremost a political actor, and he will not quickly block Jerusalem for worry that it would harm his Jewish vote in the swing states. It comes to this stark electioneering calculation. How can POTUS Obama get to Election Day while satisfying both the Jewish vote and Jerusalem and also while holding off Iran's and Syria's predation? My information is that POTUS believes the way to solve this standoff is to support a Turkish Army incursion into Syria and to provide air cover for a No-Fly Zone along the Turkey/Syria borderland. POTUS Obama's remark at the Monday press event in the White House about Syria's WMD being a "red line" was a predicate for the casus belli of entering Syria to prevent a genocide. The chaos that will follow either will block Israel or will trigger worse -- lead to a helter-skelter of covert and/or missile attacks by Hamas from Gaza, Hizballah from Lebanon, and provocateurs from Syria. Enter the Devils.
Grand Bargain.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (AP/Burhan Ozbilici)
Why does POTUS Obama hold back from supporting Israel against the Iran predators? Political opera is the answer. My information is that Mr. Obama has long offered a Grand Bargain to Tehran. In exchange for a peace conference in Tehran that is meant to imitate President Nixon's meeting with Mao in 1972 in Beijing, Mr. Obama will tolerate Iran as a nuclear-armed regional hegemon. I am told that Mr. Obama has offered this deal since 2009. These days, approaching his final election with frantic fatalism, POTUS Obama believes that by threatening to use Turkish surrogates to invade Syria and cage Assad, that Tehran will be obliged to the negotiating table. The tangled web is worse when we include the Kurds, the Iraqis, and the regional minorities in addition to the Jews and Kurds, such as the Druze, the Ismailists, the Christians, the Shiites.

Slide valuables into the discreet feltlined compartment on the base rail. A pullout tray is the perfect place for your morning cup of coffee. The two feltlined drawers have tongue & groove bottoms, English dovetail joinery and woodonwood guides. This piece is made of birch wood and matching veneers to be as enduring as it is stylish.
Colors vary on monitors. Visit your local Havertys for fabric and color details.

Contour+2 Adventure Cam Review
Better than 60% of Reviewed Camcorders
Better performance, better design, and better value than the original Contour+.
When we reviewed the original Contour+ last year, adventure cams were a relatively new phenomenon. Now they're everywhere, and, by some accounts, they're the fastest growing camcorder market in the US. Enter the Contour+2, Contour's new flagship camcorder that is both better and cheaper than its predecessor. It still costs $399, which is more than you'll pay for most GoPro adventure cams, but that price includes a waterproof case, a couple of adhesive mounts, a 4GB memory card, and a robust camcorder that is capable of doing some really cool stuff.
