We've been receiving calls from some random bill collector(s) trying to get money from Jamie, James, Nicky, Gary, Gerald or whomever - Vonage visual voicemail seems to have trouble deciding what name is being said.My house phone has a pseudo call block. The phone rings once, THEN displays the blocked number, then hangs up. I'd prefer the phone remain silent until caller ID information is received.Since I can't find a phone that waits for Caller ID before it rings, and Vonage can't seem to upgrade their ancient systems, I'm done.Google Voice won't port my number, and I don't feel like porting to T-Mobile first, then porting to Google. Besides, most calls I got were this harassing bill collector that has the wrong number - I will just cancel and lose my home number. I've only had it for 5 years or so.
google voice has a good call block feature but google voice seems to simply be a call forwarding service.IF you had two phone numbers and two google voice numbers (which are free) then you could forward number 1 to number 2 via google voice #1 and number 2 to number 1 via goole voice #2 and then use the google voice call blocking feature.Then all calls would go through google voice and you can block any number you wish easy.
I have a phone that have caller ID block so when you put that number in that block when it rings it will answer it then it will drop you will never hear the phone ring.the phone I got is called :»www.uniden.com/bluetooth-phones/···d32802g/I love this phone I would get it if you was you!!!!
I already have a phone like that.the phone does this:1) it RINGS LOUDLY2) caller ID loads3) it hangs upthe phone SHOULD do this:1) silent first ring2) caller ID loads3) it hangs upa phone should be SILENT until AFTER the caller ID information is loaded.I don't know how this mind blowing concept goes beyond the mental capabilities of companies that manage to build phones in the first place.I don't need a phone ringing at 3 AM, even once.
My phone dont ring at all when you got a caller blocked so what ever phone you got is junk.If you want me to I can post a youtube of my phone what mine does.
I'm with VOIP MS and if I block a call it does not ring. It does not even show up in my call detail report. From my end, it's like it never happened.On the other end, the blockee hears the message I choose. Usually "number not in service"
Sure would be sweet to be able to block numbers through the Vonage system and shouldn't be that tough with today's technology! --The Firefox alternative.»www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
I will be cancelling my Vonage service at the end of next month. The lack of Call Blocking Service is the ONLY reason I will be cancelling. I like the service and have never had any issues with it EXCEPT the lack of Call Blocking.
Yes I really need call blocking as well.
I just called & cancelled.They first offered me a $9.99 / 200 minute plan to stay. "No, thanks."They then offered me a $9.99 "Unlimited" plan to stay. "No, thanks."He said "I see you've been a customer for almost 4 years, is something wrong with the service?" ... The service is great. Reliable, great call quality. I've had *zero* issues over the years. Except for call block.CALL BLOCK.CALL BLOCK.Even AT&T will block calls (for $5 a month). Why can't Vonage?I made sure to tell the guy several times "you're making a note as to why I'm cancelling, right? I want CALL BLOCK. I want to BLOCK numbers. Make sure you're writing this down, okay?"I've signed up with VoIP.ms (but may not use them). I didn't even bother trying to transfer my home phone number.I just purchased an OBi100 (»www.amazon.com/OBi100-Telephone-···04LO098O), and have a dial tone at home now with my Google Voice number.I told family a few weeks back not to call the house number. I give it out to the utility companies, our bank, etc. They're the ones that end up giving the number out. Now I can block them through Google's interface!

U. S. lousy at energy efficency, group says
TVA has come under fire at times from groups such as the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy for not putting more emphasis on energy efficiency as a source for meeting electrical demand as part of its long-range plan. Well, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a group that advocates for energy efficiency policies and technologies, the United States as a country does a pretty lousy job of being energy efficient. The group recently released its first International Energy Efficiency Scorecard, in which it ranked 12 major world economies in their use of energy efficiency in sectors such as transportation, industry and buildings. According to the report, the United States ranked 9th, behind the European Union, Australia and China in terms of energy efficiency. The United Kingdom claimed the top spot. According to the ACEE, for the last 10 years the U.S., has made "limited or little progress toward greater efficiency at the national level."
TVA home energy evaluations nearly double
TVA says its In Home Energy Evaluation program has just about doubled in size from last summer. TVA customers had more than 40,000 energy efficiency inspections done by May this year compared to 25,000 by July 2011, according to TVA.
The program, which began in 2009, allows power customers to get expert evaluations and recommendations on the energy efficiency of their homes and businesses, plus up to $500 reimbursements for home energy improvements. TVA says more than two-thirds of residents in the program end up making home energy improvements. Energy efficiency is one of the key components in TVA's Integrated Resource Plan, which is its master plan for meeting future energy needs.
Better keep it zipped
Providing for recreation on the lands and waterways it manages is part of the TVA mission, but certain kinds of "recreation" can lead to a trip to jail.
TVA police announced June 20 they had arrested a 39-year-old Bristol man for indecent exposure at South Holston Dam. Responding to complaints of illegal activities in public areas near the dam, TVA police said they did a surveillance operation and ended up charging a man with indecent exposure after he allegedly followed an investigator into the woods near the dam and exposed himself. "We want people to know that we will take action when we receive credible complaints about illegal activities on TVA property," said David Jolley, TVA vice president for Security and Emergency Management. "We intend to continue our surveillance at South Holston and plan to make more arrests if necessary." TVA asks that anyone who sees suspected illegal activity call the TVA Monitoring and Notification Center at 1-800-548-4005. Callers can remain anonymous.

TVA hosts wildflower walks at Norris Dam
TVA will be holding its annual spring wildflower walks at Norris Dam on two upcoming Saturdays--March 31 and April 7. The guided walks are free, with one held at 10 a.m., and another at 1 p.m., both Saturdays. The walks are hosted by TVA in conjunction with Ijams Nature Center, Norris Dam State Park and the Friends of Norris Dam State Park. The trail, involving a 3.4-mile loop, is considered moderately difficult and is noted for its displays of wildflowers including Yellow Trout Lilies, Celandine Poppies, Bloodroot, Spring Beauties and Toothwort. The walks will begin at the River Bluff Small Wild Area along the Clinch River west of Norris Dam. No reservation is needed. To reach the River Bluff site, take Interstate 75 to Lake City, take exit 128 and go east on Norris Freeway (Highway 441). Take a right onto Dabney Road, which is about a mile north of the dam, and follow the signs to the parking area. For more information, call the TVA Environmental Information Center at 800-882-5263.
TVA comes up clean in coal audit
The TVA Office of the Inspector General (OIG), an independent body that does audits and reports on TVA, looking for fraud or abuse, has done an audit of some TVA coal purchasing transactions and posted the results online. TVA and its coal suppliers came up clean in the audit. The OIG looked at TVA Coal Quality Adjustment Reports for fiscal years 2008-2010 for accuracy and compliance with contract specifications. The coal reports are to document that TVA received the proper quality of coal that it paid for under contracts The OIG looked at 18 coal purchase agreements, totaling about $24.6 million and representing transactions over $1 million each. It also audited reports on 35 smaller contracts totaling $16.3 million. The OIG found all the reports were calculated accurately and in accordance with contract terms.
SACE to hold wind power webinar
Somebody needs to invent a process that can capture a thunderstorm, suck all the wind out of it before it can generate tornadoes, and channel that into producing electricity for a power grid. We could fight the effects of violent weather plus have a fantastic source of green energy. Okay, enough daydreaming. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) is hosting a webinar from 2-3 p.m. Tuesday, March 27, to explore the realities of wind energy. The seminar aims to explode myths about wind energy and SACE member Simon Mahan will address such issues as wind energy variability, costs and environmental impacts. SACE cites a U.S. Dept. of Energy study that says wind energy could be used to supply up to 20 percent of the nation's electricity by 2030.
EnerNex opens new smart grid testing facility
EnerNex, a Knoxville-based electric power engineering and consulting firm, is hosting an open house Wednesday for its new interoperability evaluation facility at 620 Mabry Hood Road. The company, which has an $8.5 million grant to develop standards for smart grid technology, will be unveiling the testing facility, which EnerNex says will be able to easily model the connection and disconnection of almost any piece of manufactured equipment and demonstrate the affect on a local grid.
Smart grid technology is meant to help manage the flow of electric power to homes and businesses more efficiently. EnerNex is partnering with San Diego-based Power Analytics to host a 1 p.m. Workshop, demonstrating the facility, then there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, tours and a reception from 3:30 p.m. To 7:30 p.m.
KUB meter contractor changes name
The company that reads meters for KUB has changed its name, and KUB is trying to get the word out to avoid confusion for customers. Since 1996, KUB has contracted with Utility Meter Services (UMS) for meter reading and other services, but now, that company has changed its name to Grid One Solutions, so customers will see a new logo on the company's uniforms and vehicles.
"We want to ensure KUB customers are aware of the name change to help alleviate any concerns they may have," Dale Grubbs, KUB customer service official, said in a prepared statement.
Grid One Solutions Employees will carry KUB contractor ID badges at all times, as do all KUB employees and contractors, Grubbs said. If you are not sure if someone is an actual KUB employee or contractor, you may call KUB at 865-524-2911 to verify that someone has been sent to your address. KUB advises that if you are still unsure, call 911.
Former TVA chair Craven Crowell to head Texas utility
Craven Crowell, former TVA Board of Directors chairman, has been named chairman of an organization that manages the power grid in Texas for 23 million customers.
Crowell will serve as chairman of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which is an independent system operator for Texas, scheduling power on a grid that connects 40,500 miles of transmission line and more than 550 generating units. Crowell said he will be commuting to Austin for this new position but will remain a Knoxville resident. Crowell retired from TVA in 2001, after eight years as its chairman and 25 years in government service. Since leaving TVA, Crowell has done consulting in energy and water resources, most recently with Oliver Wyman, an international firm headquartered in Boston. He has also served as chairman of the Texas Reliability Entity (TexasRE), chairman of the Electric Power Research Institute of Palo Alto, Calif, has been director of the EPRI worldwide, and served on the board and executive committee of the Nuclear Energy Institute in Washington, D.C. During his years with TVA, the agency completed construction of Watts Bar Unit 1, capped its debt after 35 years of increases, then lowered it by $1.7 billion, launched its first green power renewable energy program, and achieved other milestones. Crowell's resume also includes serving as a senior manager with TVA, chief of staff to U.S. Senator Jim Sasser, editor and reporter with the Nashville Tennessean, commissioned officer in the Naval Reserve and service in the U.S. Marine Corps.
TVA takes part in national utilities forum
Bob Balzar, TVA vice president of Energy Efficiency and Demand Response, will be one of the featured speakers discussing challenges utilities are facing when KEMA holds its Utility of the Future 2012 Leadership Series in Washington, D.C. May 14-16.
The purpose of the forum is to gather industry executives, financial analysts, government officials and others to "examine innovative, real-world approaches to manage the uncertainty and risk that are driving changes in every segment of the utility industry," according to a press release from the organization. Based in the Netherlands, KEMA is a world authority in consulting, testing and certification for energy companies. It also does a "Utility of the Future" blog, that explores a number of topics. KEMA began in 1927 as a testing house for the Dutch electrical industry and "KEMA" is an acronym of the company's original Dutch name, NV tot Keuring van Elektrotechnische Materialen.
Pellissippi gets electric charging stations
Pellissippi State Technical Community College has added electric vehicle charging stations at its main campus on Hardin Valley Road and at its Magnolia Avenue campus in East Knoxville. There are two at each site. Anyone with a vehicle compatible with the station may use it, David Walton, director of facilities at Pellissippi State, said in a prepared statement. This includes the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. For now, there is no cost for the service. "We are proud to help lead the way in providing these stations in the Knoxville area," Walton said. The stations represent the school's part in the EV Project. In August 2009, the Department of Energy awarded the clean energy technology company ECOtality a $99.8 million grant to spearhead the project, and with partner matches, the project now totals about $230 million. ECOtality describes it as "the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charge infrastructure in history." For its part, Pellissippi State pays for the electricity the first year in return for having the stations available at the two campuses. Walton is also working with ECOtality to bring charging stations to the school's Blount County campus. "I think being in the early part of the process and being a college gave us an advantage over the many other businesses applying," Walton said. The stations will be used to monitor usage and help determine marketing and placement for future stations. Last year, the college won the Governors Environmental Stewardship Award for its sustainability efforts.
Timing was only good thing in ash spill
The first set of lawsuits in the Kingston coal ash spill were wrapped up in court today and a decision is now on the hands of U.S. Dist. Judge Tom Varlan, and indications are it will be sometime next year before the decision is ready. Legal issues aside, one thing that has stuck in my mind during this trial is how much worse the Kingston disaster could have been if not for just the timing. The property damage and health issues are surely bad enough, but people could have been killed outright. I think at least one little stroke of luck was that the collapse happened in the middle of the night and in winter, with no one around. One thing that competing trial experts, Bill Walton and B. Dan Marks agreed on was that the collapse was sudden and violent. It didn't just break over the perimeter dike, it shoved the dike in two like a gate and pushed it along. If this had happened in the middle of the day with workers out on the grounds and in summer with people boating or fishing on the water in the path of the ash, there is no telling how many people would have been injured or killed. Whether you believe the cause was slope failure as plaintiffs contend or a deep-seated foundation weakness as TVA says, I thought it was a bit chilling to listen to TVA witnesses at trial talk about walking or driving around doing inspections on a structure we now know was on the verge of collapse.
Ash spill trial gives peek at TVA culture
Spending a week in court during the Kingston coal ash trial watching lawyers pick apart the actions of the Tennessee Valley Authority gave a rare peek inside an organization that is careful to try to manage its image. The striking thing, it seemed, was a sense of just how "siloed" or compartmentalized TVA is, or at least was at the time of the Dec. 2008 coal ash spill at the Kingston fossil plant. Questioning brought out example after example of how different units and divisions of the agency worked at their own tasks seemingly with little awareness or concern with what other parts of the organization was doing. TVA engineer Matthew Williams, questioned about his delay in getting potentially crucial ground water monitoring data to engineer Chris Buttram at the Kingston plant, said he wasn't sure Buttram would have been the one who could have set things in action to address problems at the ash holding cell that collapsed.. "I am a middle man and it is possible that Chris was a middle man too," Another TVA employee, tasked with entering ground water data on spread sheets essentially discarded part of that data because there was not a place on the sheets to record it. He testified that no one told him what to do with the unused data and he didn't ask. Since the coal spill, TVA reports it has been trying to change its culture and procedures. TVA Inspector General Richard Moore, charged with a watchdog function over TVA and self-described as one of TVA's harshest critics, indicated at one point in the trail that progress has been made. Discussing a "blow-out" of ash material from one of the Kingston holding cells in 2006, Moore was critical of the risk management program that he said left those in charge at the time without crucial information. "If it (the program) had been what it is today, which is very robust, that problem would probably have been caught," he said. The trail continues Monday in the court of U.S. Dist. Judge Tom Varlan in Knoxville and may run for
Knoxville firm builds solar charging facility
Knoxville-based solar energy company Sustainable Future partnered with the 2 North Shore shopping center in Chattanooga to install a 33.8 kilowatt per hour solar photovoltaic parking structure and will be showing off the facility Thursday, Sept. 22 at 11 a.m. The electric charging stations will provide cover for 12 cars and allow five electric cars to be charged while their owners are shopping. The structure is the first of its kind in the area and the 2 North Shore is the area's first Gold LEED certified shopping center.
Founded in 2005, Sustainable Future designed and installed the structure and provided grant assistance for funds through a Tennessee Clean energy Technology Grant. 2 North Shore worked through the green/spaces Chattanooga environmental firm to secure bank financing in conjunction with a federal grant and the TVA Generation Partners program.
In addition to helping reduce carbon and other emissions and produce enough power to drive a Nissan Leaf for 150,756 miles, the solar parking structure is expected to save the shopping center $10,000 a year on its electric bill.
TVA hosts meeting on dam modifications
TVA will hold an open house on Sept. 15 to discuss permanent modifications it proposes to make to four dams in case of a rare flood event. TVA officials will be on hand from 3 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, at the Louisville Town Hall, 3623 Louisville Road in Louisville to talk about the proposal. The plan is to replace temporary, sand-filled, wall-like structures that TVA put atop earthen embankments at Fort Loudoun, Tellico, Cherokee and Watts Bar dams in 2008 with permanent structures. The dam modifications were done after TVA updated its modeling of maximum flood conditions the dams might face and found that maximum floodwater elevations could be higher than previously calculated. "The permanent structures TVA is considering are above current dam heights and would be necessary only if water levels rose above both established 100- and 500- year flood elevation projections," TVA said in a prepared statement. "TVA is not changing its flood control operations for floods up to and including the 500-year flood projection." Comments may be sent to Kenneth Parr at

Not too early to think about winter
Just to get a break from this summer heat, let's talk a little about a program meant to help families in need beat the cold this winter.
With the cooperation of the Knoxville Utilities Board, the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee administers Project Help to provide emergency heating assistance. KUB collects donations and sends 100 percent of the funds to the CAC to buy electricity, natural gas, heating oil, propane, coal or wood for those who are struggling. The program helps the elderly, people with disabilities and people in emergency need because of a job loss, illness or injury. KUB customers may help by making a one-time donation or monthly pledge on the back of their utility bills or they may do so online.
KUB also asks customers to help by recycling their newspapers and magazines for Project Help at the parking lot at 311 Morgan Street and at the following Pilot Corp. store locations:
7686 S. Northshore Drive
5800 WEstern Ave.
8642 Maynardville Highway
421 N. Cedar Bluff Road
TVA hosts job fair at Knoxville College
TVA is holding a job fair Thursday from 2 to 7 p.m. at Knoxville College, looking to fill openings in engineering, information technology, environmental science and other business-related areas.
The job fair will be held in the Knoxville College Center Ballroom at 901 College Hill Drive. TVA representatives will be on hand to accept resumes and provide information.
"We encourage new and recent graduates in engineering, business and finance, craft trainees and experienced professions to come to the Career Fair at Knoxville College and learn about TVA and the opportunities we have at locations throughout the Tennessee Valley," TVA Corporate Recuiter Michelle Woods said in a prepared statement.
Two- and four-year colleges from the Knoxville area will also have exhibits at the job fair, with information on educational resources they offer.
TVA, KUB both face major votes Thursday
TVA and KUB both meet tomorrow and both will vote on some big issues. The Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors will deal with an agenda that includes a vote on completing the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, adding environmental controls to two fossil plants, buying a combined-cycle plant, relicensing the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant and other matters. The Knoxville Utilities Board is trying to decide how it will fund the re-start of its Century II program for accelerated improvement of its infrastructure and the agenda for the KUB Board of Commisssioners includes $1 increases in basic monthly water and electric service, an increased debt load for KUB and other items. The TVA meetng in particular is expected to be long, with many people signed up to speak, said TVA spokesman Travis Brickey. It starts at 8:30 a.m. and Brickey estimates it will run until 2 or 3 p.m. KUB will meet at noon at its offices on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville and TVA will meet at the West TVA Tower on Summit Hill Drive downtown. Since the meetings overlap, I will be covering KUB and business writer Josh Flory will cover TVA.

Hello everybody. I've been purchasing Apple products since the beginning. It helped because my brother was a systems engineer for a company that sold and serviced Apple. I was able to buy Apple products at 5% over cost, but in the 80's that was still thousands of dollars for a system. My abilities are average in the Apple realm even though I've been working with them for so long. I currently Have a 24" iMac, 32gig wifi iPad, powerbook, iBook and two iPhone 4's.
I love to buy cases for my iPad and iPhones. My current case for my iPad is the OtterBox "Defender". It's heavy but beautiful. I think it's the only case that would actually protect the ipad in case of a fall.
Oh Yes, I'm also a Certified Apple tech. One of those lifetime certifications they use to give years ago. I'd love to get re-certified but I don't thing I have room left in my brain for more information so i am a novice with the Intel products.
If I can help, I will. Most likely I'll be the one needing the help..Let's wait and see...

The Pirate Bay's 'Move' To Korea Was a Prank
Unknown Lamer posted 1 year,4 days | from judgecorp
142judgecorp writes "The Pirate Bay's announcement that it was moving to North Korea was a prank, making fun of gullible readers. Admitting the hoax, the site said 'You can't seriously cheer the 'fact' that we moved our servers to bloody North Korea. Applauds to you who told us to f*** off. Always stay critical. Towards everyone!'" The essence of a good troll: so absurd it could just be true.

My goodness but Krista Erickson of Sun News has a lot of middle-aged male apostles.By "a lot" I actually mean a handful, but they are noisy media types – pundits who are online and barking, sniping at her detractors and rising to her defence with alacrity. Justin Bieber could only dream of such ardent Internet warriors launching scathing attacks on persons unmoved by his alleged charisma.At issue is the decision, released on Monday, by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council in relation to complaints that Erickson mistreated Canadian dancer Margie Gillis during a now-notorious interview broadcast on Sun News Network last year. Erickson hectored Gillis about public funding for the arts.The CBSC received 6,676 complaints about the interview from people who took the view that Gillis had been treated most unfairly. The council usually gets about 2,000 complaints in an entire year. It concluded that, in the interview, there was no violation of the agreed standards of ethics. Erickson was aggressive but had licence to act in this manner and Gillis had the opportunity to articulate her views.I am exhorted by Krista Erickson's apostles to report that she has been "cleared" by the CBSC.Right on. Nobody should be surprised that the CBSC failed to find fault in Erickson's approach. She was obnoxious. There is no regulatory mechanism for the censure of obnoxious behaviour on TV.Those who felt they could gain justice for Margie Gillis were naive. The obnoxious have triumphed on TV here. If being obnoxious was a disqualification, then Don Cherry and Kevin O'Leary would have disappeared from the airwaves many years ago. They didn't. They prevailed.Insult comedy, a genre so elastic that it includes the livid hatred of Andrew Dice Clay's act and the much more benign slap-downs of Bernie Mac, gave way to insult coverage of politics on TV and any issue considered vaguely political. In the United States, the style of Fox News is rooted entirely in the tactic of insulting those who disagree with the views of its right-wing pundits, reporters and anchors.The tactic, copied with gusto on Sun News, is an insult to the intelligence, but it gets attention. The fact that it insults our intelligence makes it laughable, but does not diminish its popularity among those whose oxygen is resentment. That is, resentment of the poor, the unionized, the altruistic, the charitable and, in the case of Erickson's attacks on Margie Gillis, the talented.It is a fact that Erickson and her colleagues at Sun News have a tiny audience and no method of obtaining impact except by being all big-mouth obnoxious to people such as Margie Gillis. They are squirts shouting insults at people of substantial achievement. As Sun News declares daily, it's a channel featuring "debates that don't happen anywhere else." The small viewing audience would suggest that hardly anyone cares, but Sun News is doing what it claims to do.It is also a fact that exhortations to publicize the CBSC decision come when Sun News is in desperate need of distraction from the revelation last week of a bogus citizenship ceremony that aired on the channel. The channel looked utterly ridiculous. The laughter aimed at Sun News stung (rightly so), and the upshot is hope that brave Krista Erickson's triumph with the CBSC decision will save the day.Her passel of middle-aged male apostles hope so. Perhaps they get a pat on the head for their efforts. Presumably they number among the 49 people who "like" the Krista Erickson page on Facebook. It's strikes me that "49" is a rather sad number for a TV personality of such alleged fame and impact. But Canadian fame is a strange kind of fame, isn't it?You know, blaming television for the triumph of the obnoxious is as foolhardy as expecting a regulatory body to condemn obnoxious behaviour. The rise of insult coverage of political and social issues on TV paralleled the rise of social media such as Facebook and Twitter, universes that thrive on narcissism and nastiness. But users, not the medium, establish that tone. Just as preening pundits throwing insults can find an audience only if somebody watches and encourages them on TV.There are apostles of the obnoxious out there, noisily tweeting and braying. Margie Gillis isn't. She doesn't need to, and her apostles know that, no matter what the CBSC decision says.© Globe and Mail

Tiger Woods was injured early Friday when he lost control of his SUV outside his Florida mansion, and a local police chief said Woods' wife used a golf club to smash out the back window to help get him out.
The world's No. 1 golfer was treated and released from a hospital in good condition, his spokesman said. The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods' vehicle hit a fire hydrant and a tree in his neighbor's yard after he pulled out of his driveway at 2:25 a.m.
Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor told The Associated Press officers found the 33-year-old PGA star laying in the street with his wife, Elin, hovering over him.
She told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and "came out and broke the back window with a golf club," he said. "She supposedly got him out and laid him on the ground. He was in and out of consciousness when my guys got there."
He said Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips, and blood in his mouth; officers treated Woods for about 10 minutes until an ambulance arrived.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was alone in his 2009 Cadillac when he pulled out of his driveway from his mansion at Isleworth, a gated waterfront community just outside Orlando.
The patrol reported Woods' injuries as serious, although Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan issued a statement that Woods was treated and released.
The patrol said alcohol was not involved, although the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed.
Left unanswered was where Woods was going at that hour. Greenspan and agent Mark Steinberg said there would be no comment beyond the short statement of the accident posted on Woods' Web site.
Saylor said his responding officers did not hear anything about an alleged argument between Woods and his wife.
"Right now we believe this is a traffic crash. We don't believe it is domestic issue," patrol spokesman Sgt. Kim Montes said.
Woods, coming off a two-week trip to China and Australia earlier this month, is host of the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, which starts Thursday. He is scheduled to have his news conference Tuesday afternoon at Sherwood Country Club. Steinberg said he did not know if Woods still planned to play next week.
The Florida Highway Patrol said tapes of the 911 call won't be released until they can be reviewed, probably Monday at the earliest.
The accident report was not released until nearly 12 hours after Woods was injured. Montes said the accident did not meet the criteria of a serious crash, and the FHP only put out a news release because of inquiries from local media.
Montes said the patrol reports injuries as serious if they require more than minor medical attention. Air bags in the SUV did not deploy.
Two troopers tried to talk to Woods on Friday evening, but his wife said he was sleeping and they agreed to come back today, Montes said.
She said charges could be filed if there was a clear traffic violation, although troopers still do not know what caused Woods' SUV to hit the hydrant and the tree.
Woods rarely faces such private scrutiny, even as perhaps the most famous active athlete in the world.
He usually makes news only because of what he can do with a golf club. Few other athletes have managed to keep their private lives so guarded, or have a circle of friends so airtight when it comes to life off the course.
His wife was awarded a $183,250 settlement and an apology from an Irish magazine that published a fake nude photo of her, and Woods received a $1.6 million settlement in a lawsuit against the builder of his yacht — named Privacy — for using his name and photos of the boat as promotional material.
Woods is approaching $100 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour, and Forbes magazine reported that combined with endorsements, appearance fees and golf course design, he has become the first athlete to top $1 billion.
Woods' $2.4 million home is part of an exclusive subdivision near Orlando, a community set on an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and a chain of small lakes. The neighborhood, which is fortified with high brick walls and has its own security force, is home to CEOs and other sports stars such as the NBA's Shaquille O'Neal.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, X to the Z will appear alongside Bruce Willis, Woody Harrelson and Tatum Channing and production is scheduled to begin next year.

Lesser Sandhill Cranes and a couple of Snow Geese with one being a Blue Morph on Greenhouse Lane close to Burns. Thousands of Snow Geese with a few Ross's Geese have amassed in the fields around Burns. Small groups of cranes, mostly Lessers as these, are also being observed in the fields. Hundreds of Tundra Swans are easily seen in flooded fields on HWY 205 just south of town. TB 03/2/14
Carla Burnside's Malheur NWR Report 3/7/2014
Spring is arriving at a fast pace on the Silvies Floodplain and on the Refuge.Silvies Floodplain viewing includes tundra swans, northern pintails, white fronted geese, Canada geese, white geese (probably a combination of Ross' and snow geese) and lesser and greater sandhill cranes. Bald eagles can still be seen at various locations. A quick trip down the Center Patrol Road on the Refuge between Benson Pond and Bridge Creek resulted in this tally of bird species: On Benson Pond – American Coots, American Wigeon, Mallards, Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Buffleheads, Common Goldeneye, Tundra Swans, Trumpeter Swans, and Northern Pintails.On Dredger Pond – Northern Pintails, Buffleheads, Mallards, Gadwall, Tundra Swans, and American Coots. Along the Center Patrol Road – American Robins, Northern Flickers, California Quail, Ring-Necked Pheasant, and Raccoons. Refuge Headquarters – Tree swallows, American Tree Sparrows, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Starlings, California Quail, Juncos, Black-Billed Magpies, Buffleheads, American Coots, and Belding Ground Squirrels are out. |
Great Horned Owl Photo EssayI have been going through photo's that I took over the last year and thought I would share some of them in a photo essay format. My first subject has always been a favorite bird for many. The Great Horned Owls will begin to nest soon so it seemed fitting to start with our earliest nesters. I hope you enjoy these photos! Click here to see the gallery.
Harney County Christmas Bird Counts 2013
P-Ranch and Burns CBC were conducted on December 27 and 28. Species numbers were very low with Burns CBC recording 41 species, the lowest number since the count was started in 1998 and P-Ranch recorded 45. The California Quail count in Burns was among the lowest on record with just over 2000 birds. Last year there were over 4ooo as compared to over 10,000 on high counts in years past. It is felt that the extreme cold that hit this area earlier in December contributed to low numbers with parts of Harney County recording temperatures to -45 below zero and Burns -30. Any bird that could leave the area did and those that didn't may have perished. There was no open water in the Burns count and just a few spots in the P-Ranch count that were kept open by hot springs. There were no unusual birds seen during the counts this year. Click on the files below to see the list from the counts. My thanks to Rick Vetter for providing these. Though species numbers were low, it was a hoot birding with a great group of people who truly love this area.
A few of the vagrants that visited Harney County in 2013
Thanks to everyone who supplied their sightings and photos this past year. Photo credits and reporters names can be seen in the 2013 Vagrants section.
What is Harney Birder?Harney County is located in the Southeast part of Oregon. Some would say it's in the middle of nowhere and indeed that's a safe description, but to the bird watching enthusiast it is the hub of Northwest birding. Noted for immense flocks of Ross's and Snow Geese and large numbers of Sandhill Cranes in early spring, the vagrant traps of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters and Fields, and a diverse landscape of mountain, wetlands, and desert, it is a perfect combination for avian fauna! Harney Birder is for those that bird or will bird southeastern Oregon. Here you can find up to date reports on sightings or birding conditions in the area, best times to visit for area specialties and events of interest to the birder. Visit often, things will be updated constantly. Especially interesting will be the sightings area of the website. Here you will find birds of interest as they are sighted and where they are being seen. I do hope that you will find this website entertaining and informative.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
Sometimes in life you have to make a leap of faith that you have what it takes. You take everything you've grown to be and take the big risk. I have just done that. I moved to Delray, FL in January to open the Boca office for my company. A little about me: I love meeting new people, and hearing their stories. I'm a social being by nature. Lately I've been brushing up on my golf and tennis game, but I hit more grass then balls and if I played tennis on a court twice the size...call me Federer. I would say traveling is one of my biggest passions. In 2008, I backpacked Costa Rica solo for 3 weeks, and had an amazing adventure! Learned much and lived Pura Vida. Then it was off to Israel, where a buddy and I put 1,200 miles on a rental car and attempted to discover every nook and cranny the country had to offer. Hot tip - camels spit and are generally nasty creatures. For the next adventure, I solo backpacked the Maya Ruins of Belize and scuba dived on the barrier reef..I just got back from Thailand in Feb. I'm witty, intelligent, spontaneous, worldly, caring, loyal and driven, but above all I like to have a good time. I'm passionate about my career, and dedicate a lot of time to it. Some people work to make a living, I like to think I work "for love of the game." I think I know what I want out of life, love, & career and I'm just trying making it happen and have fun along the way. I like cooking, working out, traveling and hanging out with friends. If you have any interest just drop me a line and ask away.

The Gadgeteer review of the Little Swift
"When I think of Tom Bihn bags, I think of laptop and gear bags. There are several Tom Bihn bags in my house, including an 8 or 9 year old Empire Builder that has been used every day since its purchase and still looks almost like new. I don't typically think of knitting or purses when I think of Tom Bihn, but that's exactly where my thoughts were when I was checking out their website recently. Tom Bihn had actually designed a bag for knitters some time ago. He worked in conjunction with the readers of Knitty magazine to design the Swift tote bag that could carry around a knitter's work-in-progress, yarns, needles, and other supplies. I'm not a knitter, so I didn't really give it much thought when I first saw it. They've recently introduced a smaller version of the Swift, called the Little Swift, which is exactly the same design but only 80% of the Swift's size. They also had the bag in a new fabric that caught my eye. The Little Swift in Vulcana Hemp/Recycled Rubber was on its way to my house as quickly as I could get my credit card out of my wallet."
TUAW reviews the Cadet
"I wanted to test out the Cadet with all of my mobile gear — iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and 11″ MacBook Air. Tom Bihn thoughtfully provided both the Cadet Caches padded sleeves for the iPad and 11″ MBA, so I was able to try both. In additional, I loaded the bag up with most of the adapters, cables, and accessories that I normally take with me on trips.
As you can see from some of the gallery photos, I was able to put all of that equipment, plus cables, power adapters, keys, and more into the Cadet … and this is the small version! It's like this bag expands into another dimension, magically adding space when you need it. Fortunately the weight of the equipment wasn't overwhelming, but the Absolute Shoulder Strap did make carrying it quite comfortable."

Finally: snow
Riley, Tom's dog.
This weekend saw the first snow event in the lowlands of Western Washington. Up high, that means plenty of snow for snowshoeing and other fun stuff. The Synapse is a great daypack for many outings, though when you need to carry a lot of extra winter gear to be prepared, you might want to (because we do) use the Smart Alec or Brain Bag. All three backpacks have hydration tube clips on the front shoulder strap (useful for those of you who use a Camelbak or similar hydration system) which we'll take some in-use photos of soon. If you have a specialized pack you use for outdoors stuff, more power to you, but if you want to get out and up, know your Synapse, Smart Alec, or Brain Bag can make the trip with you.
It was pretty dark by the time we took this photo, so we used a headlamp as a light source.

I don't see the Padres or Rockies being strongly interested in Garza. I like the idea of Matt Barnes from Boston and Olt and Perez from Texas.
Also, seeing the Mets just sign Wright to a long-term deal, I wonder how much it would be to get Wilmer Flores. I know the Mets desperately need outfield help and wonder if DeJesus/Soriano could possibly bring him here. Then possibly flip Garza focusing mainly on pitching.
