Gbagbo Supporter says, Foiled Ivory Coast Coup Plot a Fake
In Ivory Coast, a member of former President Laurent Gbagbo's party says the foiled coup attempt announced by President Alassane Ouattara's government is a figment of their imagination.
Tcheide Jean Gervais, treasurer for former President Gbagbo's Popular Front Party, told VOA in an interview late Wednesday, "There is no real evidence of such a coup."
Gervais said the government is "inventing the situation, and they are accusing the people just to try to push us down and keep us in the position that we can't do anything."
The government announced Wednesday that they had foiled a coup attempt by exiled military officers with ties to former President Gbagbo.
Interior minister Hamed Bakayoko told VOA that a "clear link" was found between former defense minister Moise Lida Kouassi and the alleged plotters' plan to form a new transitional government.
Bakayoko says Kouassi, who was arrested by Togolese authorities and turned over to Ivorian forces, confessed about his involvement during a police interrogation.
But Gervais said the accusations are an attempt to distract attention from what he says is the "mess" created by the current government's policies.
He also accused the government of violating Kouassi's rights by denying him access to his attorney.
"Even if he was accused of something and there was evidence, normally he should have been assisted by his attorney," Gervais said. But he says the lawyer, a former prime minister of Togo, "was not even allowed to be beside him so that he can intervene."
Gervais says he and his fellow party-members want to know exactly what the government is accusing the alleged coup plotters of.
"We want to see the evidence so that we can pronounce ourselves. But so far, nothing as such has happened."
He said the government should also have given opposition members a chance to respond to the specific accusations on television.
Former President Gbagbo lost a 2010 presidential poll to Mr. Ouattara, but fought to remain in power. About 3,000 people were killed in a bloody power struggle between the two sides, until the former president was captured in April of last year.
Mr. Gbagbo has been charged with crimes against humanity and is being held in The Hague by the International Criminal Court.
Western Ivory Coast has remained unstable since his arrest. The United Nations on Wednesday said four civilians were killed in separate attacks on Tuesday, bringing the total to 20 deaths, including seven peacekeepers in a week.
Human Rights Watch has blamed the killings on Ivorian militiamen and Liberian mercenaries from eastern Liberia.

A 50 Gbps TCP connection with Multipath TCP
Olivier Bonaventure (2873367) writes | about a year and a half ago0
Olivier Bonaventure (2873367) writes "The TCP protocol is closely coupled with the underlying IP protocol.
Once a TCP connection has been established through one IP address,
the other packets of the connection must be sent from this address. This
makes mobility and load balancing difficult. Multipath TCP is
a new extension that solves these old problems by decoupling TCP from
the underlying IP. A Multipath TCP connection can send packets over
several interfaces/addresses simultaneously while remaining backward
compatible with existing TCP applications. Multipath TCP has several use
cases including smartphones that can use both WiFi and 3G or servers
that can pool multiple high-speed interfaces. Christoph Paasch, Gregory
Detal and their colleagues who develop the implementation of
Multipath TCP in the Linux kernel have achieved 50 Gbps for a single TCP
connection by pooling together six 10 Gbps interfaces. See here for
technical details and full source code."

Boat Hire
Ebro Boat Hire, Fishing The River Ebro in Genistar, Tarragona,
In the
Catalan region, south of the city of Barcelona, runs the
River Ebro to the Mediterranean Sea offering 80 kilometers
of navigable waterways without any lock.
River Ebro has the greatest discharge of any Iberian river,
and is the longest in Spain, and second only to the Tajo
( Tagus, in thoery, in English) in Iberia . Its importance
is reflected in the name of Peninsula, which almost certainly
comes from the river, first known as the Iber and Iberus
and Ebro, and not the other way around. It was first used
in the 6th century BC by a Greek author in reference to
the Iberians, or the people who lived along the Iberus
( Ebro ) river. Ultimately the word may well derive from
the Basque words ibai (river) and ibar (valley), and these
from ur meaning water. Linguists have noted similarities
with the names of 200 other European rivers and streams
(e.g. Ibar in Serbia, Ebrach and several Eberbach in Germany,
Irwell in The UK) giving a tantalising clue as to a form
of Basque being once spoken throughout Europe before the
arrival of Indo-European tribes and languages.
north bank of the river is fed first by the rivers of the
Cordillera Cantábrica and then by those of the Pyrenees,
including the Aragón, Gállego and Cinca-Segre,
and to the south generally with a lower discharge, by tributaries
from the Sistema Ibérico, including the Oja, Iregua,
Jalón and Guadalope. Consequently, the Ebro can
be said to drain much of the southern Pyrenees and the
northern Sistema Ibérico. Although the climate at
its source is Atlantic, most of the Ebro 's journey is
accompanied by a continental climate with low rainfall,
scorching summers and cold, dry winters.. This is particularly
the case of the arid expanses of central Aragon isolated
by oceanic influences, particularly in a triangle formed
between Zaragoza, Alcañiz and Lleida. From here
it moves into Mediterranean climes proper.

EMC Insurance Group Inc. Announces First Quarter Combined Ratio And Operating Income Estimates, Reaffirms 2012 Operating Income Guidance And Releases Preliminary Loss Estimate On April Storms
¹The Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure called "operating income/loss" that management believes is useful to investors because it illustrates the performance of our normal, ongoing operations, which is important in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. While this measure is consistent with measures utilized by investors to evaluate performance, it is not a substitute for the U.S. GAAP financial measure of net income/loss. The difference between net income/loss and operating income/loss is that operating income/loss does not include realized investment gains/losses.

Expanding competence in energy research
In order to be able to implement the decision by the Federal Council and parliament to phase out nuclear power by 2035, the efficiency of renewable energies must be increased and new opportunities in this area must be exploited. The Federal Council intends to boost research into energy under the Coordinated Energy Research in Switzerland Action Plan. The key element in this plan involves setting up inter-university research networks, or Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research (SCCER). This task has been given to the CTI, with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Eat this Word: BroccoliniWHAT? Something new under the sun. The California-based Mann Packing Co., which has trademarked the name "broccolini," describes it as "an exciting new vegetable!" A cross between broccoli and gai lan (Chinese kale), broccolini also goes by the name asparation, though we agree with Elizabeth Schneider, who wrote in Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini that "If you were seeking a pharmaceutical to deliver hope to the respiratory system, you might check out something with a name like Asparation. It seems unlikely that you'd go shopping for a vegetable." Whatever you call it, broccolini is sweeter and less fibrous than broccoli, and it has a peppery nuance. Schneider found it "as pretty as asparagus," and "as versatile as broccoli." WHERE? Rob Dacko, James LoCascio, and Jason Smith's Beard House dinner
Food Matters: Discovering Elizabeth DavidMatt McAllester's happy childhood was cut short by his mother's mental illness. Upon her death McAllester is able to explore his mother's history and, through her collection of cookbooks, discover the woman he thought he had lost forever. In his memoir Bittersweet, this Pulitzer Prize winner and former foreign correspondent lets readers into the painful, yet delicious process of cooking his way through his mother's copies of Elizabeth David and other books. The following excerpt finds McAllester sorting through his mother's books with his sister. Finally, months after the process of dividing up the spoils of death had begun, we sat on the floor going through the last of it.

The Bookshelf: Betty Fussell Wants You to Eat Your Steak RareThe unflappable Betty Fussell graced us with her presence yesterday at Beard on Books for a rousing discussion of her book Raising Steaks and all things beef. After discussing the history of the beef industry, from small-scale butcher shops to industrialized slaughterhouses to the grass-fed future, Betty moved on to how Americans eat and think about beef. What has been the effect of industrializing the beef industry? A dulled and "timid" American palate, Betty claims. She believes we need to be re-tasting all kinds of beef from Wagyu to grass-fed, declaring that it's time to "train ourselves to not just eat rib-eyes." Where should we be doing this training? These days, restaurants and chefs have the best access to the choicest cuts and kinds of meat, because they can demand it. And they also can produce the best tasting meat because they have the heat sources to cook it properly. Betty implores us to order our steaks and other red meats "Rare! Rare! Nev

Recipe: Beet and Pomegranate Salad
Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins this Friday at sundown. And if you are tired of the same old sweet dishes like tzimmes, apples, and honey cake, you might want to look to the East…to Israel, that is, where the influences of Jews from around the world meld into a Middle Eastern culinary melting pot. We'll be adding this beet and pomegranate salad from celebrated Israeli baker and chef Erez Komarovski to our holiday menu. Komarovski created an artisanal bread revolution in Israel with his chain of bakeries called Lehem Erez—they continue, but he no longer owns them. Now he spends a large part of his time in self-exile on a beautiful hillside in the Upper Galilee near the Lebanon border teaching, inventing, and cooking dishes that draw on the local produce and his vast gardens.

'Sex' or 'doorie' is just the word for intercourse while 'sexuality' is everything else that goes into making you a sexual person. That includes your sexual knowledge, thoughts, values, desires and your sexual behaviour.
You can still be sexual and not be having sex – daydreams and sexual feelings are as much a part of your sexuality as whether or not you've ever kissed or slept with anyone.
Sexual issues can cause a lot of hassles for young people as they become an adult. Everyone has very personal values around what is acceptable and what is not acceptable when talking or thinking about sex and sexuality. This can be even more important for young Aboriginal people. A lot of shame can be attached to sexuality, especially if your values and behaviour go against those of your family, friends, Elders and community. While it is important to consider the values and practices of your family, culture, religion or community, ultimately you are the boss of your body. Sex is a very private part of life, and the most important person to think about is yourself and how you feel about things.
In Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, sex may be seen as a very sensitive issue and it may be hard to find someone to talk with about sex because of the shame attached to it. It may be especially hard to talk about 'men's business' and 'women's business' with each other. Also, being gay or lesbian is not generally culturally acceptable, even though there are homosexual and sistergirl people in Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities.
The best thing to do is to be true to yourself and respect the choices other people make about their sexuality.
If you need to talk to someone about the way you feel, there are heaps of people out there who are willing to listen and help. Visit the Help & Advice section for a list of contacts around Australia.

For fiberglass boats, the best bottom paint is Biocop TF with Bioboost which is a bottom paint additive for extra algae protection. This provides you the absolute maximum protection against hard and soft growth on the bottom of your boat. This solution is recommended for high growth areas, or if you are trying to goes as long as you possibly can between bottom jobs.
The best bottom paint for an aluminum boat or pontoons is Smart Solution, it is copper free and safe for aluminum. If the aluminum has never been painted the best practice is to prime with Tuff Stuff to insure good adhesion and protect against corrosion.
The suggested best bottom paint for the running gear and outdrives is Smart Solution. (quart size). You can use the Outboard & Outdrive Primer spray for priming the area before application of bottom paint. If there is already a bottom paint on your running gear, just scuff sand and paint!

Cheap looking

I really wished I had taken another reviewers review seriously before ordering this. The bracelet looks cheap (e.g. plated). Very few diamond "highlights". Not worth the price.

She is so sexy!!!!!!!!!!!! Several days ago, I found her sexy photos and videos on a sports dating community ==mysportsdate.com== It is said she is making friends there, it's the real place where hot cougars and milfs hang out with sexy young men!! My friends told me so, gonna check it out!!
Ugly human award
Ugly human award
You can see the scars from when she had a breast lift (I don't think it looks like implants).
Barf. She's always so shapeless and dumpy looking. I don't get it.
Ugh… wtf?
OMG, how much do you pay to look this bad? The dress, the shoes, the hideous jewelry, the headband…. a pretty girl would have a hard time pulling this off. And Aubrey does not qualify as such.
this bitch is disgusting. washed up trash. see her on celb rehab next season. and you would think she'd at least get her nails done. simply gross.
If she was giving rimjobs with a reacharound for .50 cents down in the bowery, she'd be overcharging.

Suprema launched BioEntry Plus, an IP based fingerprint access control device. Integrated with both a fingerprint scanner and proximity card reader, BioEntry Plus covers a full range of access control applications from a simple standalone door control to complex networked access control systems.
BioEntry Plus is a next generation biometric access control device designed to meet the market demands of price, size, interface and design. Features of BioEntry Plus can be summarized as follows.
For more information about BioEntry Plus, please click here or contact Suprema sales team.
Conventional access control systems are based on centralized operation that requires card readers and locks connected to a central control panel. Compared to card readers, control panels are expensive and a wiring could be complicated to connect all locks and readers in a different rooms to the control panel. Stability is another issue. When the control panel is out of order, it stops all door opening functions connected to the panel.
On the contrary, Suprema's access control solution is based on concept of distributed intelligence and IP connections from PC to door. Suprema's fingerprint devices like BioStation and BioEntry Plus are installed at each door and functions as an intelligent controller on its own. For security from separation of readers and controllers, an external I/O expansion unit named Secure I/O can be installed inside the door and manage door locks and input switches. Communication between BioStation, BioEntry Plus and Secure I/O is encrypted to provide higher security level than wiegand interface.
Utilizing a convenient TCP/IP-based Internet network, Suprema's access control solution doesn't have space limiation and can perfectly support various access control functions from those of simple one-door access control to even more complicated network type access control systems. It is a revolutionary access control solution with powerful advantages and affordable price. While offering the same advantages of a fingerprint-based system, it is easier to install and requires less wiring compared to existing RF card-based system thanks to its unique distributed structure.
For further information about Secure I/O, please click here.
Click here to get more information about Suprema's access control solutions.
Suprema released BioAdmin software version 4.2 and BioStation firmware version 1.4.
The contents of the revision are as follows:
Suprema will expand the product range of BioStation by adding other card technologies of 125KHz and 13.56MHz. After releasing BioStation RF supporting 125KHz EM card early in the year, Suprema is preparing the next model supporting HID proximity card. Target launching date is December 1st.
Fingerprint recognition systems are frequently exposed to electrostatic discharges during normal usage, as a person's fingertip is directly in contact with fingerprint scanning devices.
These devices, if not properly designed against ESD, will experience unstable operation or complete device failure.
This article shows some guidelines to design ESD tolerant system using SFM30x0 or SFM35x0 modules.
For non-optical scanners such as capacitive or thermal type scanners, the scanning device is composed of a semiconductor die itself, which is very susceptible to ESDs without proper protection methods. Even in optical scanners, which are mainly composed of non conductive materials that are good insulators, proper designing against ESD is necessary, as electrostatic discharges readily propagate to unintended parts inside the system if incontrolled.
Fortunately, as these scanners are designed to withstand certain levels of ESDs - tolerance up to ±15kV is not uncommon - and the SFM modules have proper circuitry and management software, it is quite simple task to design a system that fully benefits from the module's ESD tolerant design.
* Proper grounding
Although the fingerprint scanner and the module are designed to withstand ESD events, it is crucial that the module is properly grounded. Use a thick, short wire - as thick and short as practical - to connect ground hole of the module to earth ground or system chassis to effectively remove discharge energy.
For SFM30x0 and SFM35x0 series, the earth ground is assigned to one of mount holes as shown below, highlighted with red circle.
Note that these mount holes are located close to flat connectors to the scanner, intended to quickly remove ESD energy.
* Case considerations
Fingerprint scanners are designed to withstand ESD events on their sensing area only.
Be sure to minimize exposed area to prevent discharges into sensitive parts.
* Cable layout
Flex cables are based on thin films that easily breaks down if exposed to high voltages such as ESD. Keep these cables away from mounting brackets or metallic parts connected to system chassis or earth ground. The ESD energy tend to find shorter paths, and there are chances that jumping a few millimeters makes a shortcut, destroying nearby devices.

Suprema's BioStation became an ideal solution for human resource management of Korea's largest cosmetic maker, Amore Pacific.
Amore Pacific had been searching for a system that could effectively manage the work schedule of its more than 32,000 contract basis saleswomen working in over 600 branches nationwide. The company had two issues, fast and effective way of attendance reporting of saleswomen from branches and a blacklist control. Blacklist detection was needed because some saleswomen dismissed from a branch for misconduct could easily get a job again after moving to another branch using a forged ID card.
The company found a solution when it decided to adopt Suprema's BioStations after being convinced of its accuracy and the benefits of the computerized fingerprint recognition system. Six hundreds of BioStation were deployed in all branches and the whole systems were networked together with a central server in a headquarter for real-time online monitoring and analysis. In fingerprint enrollment, the central server checks new fingerprints with blacklist database and avoids improper employment.
The project was one of the biggest commercial biometric deployments integrated by network. The project also demanded fingerprint enrollments of more than 320,000 fingerprints by capturing ten fingers of each saleswomen.
Lee Yong-sik, the manager of Amore Pacific's BR team stated, "I expect the fingerprint recognition system, which is worry free from fraud, will solve the problem of employee work schedule management, which until now could not really be done efficiently." He also mentioned, "Since this system can generate accurate and detailed work-schedule data, such as the work hours of employees who worked either within or outside the company, and the sales staffs working at nationwide business centers, I expect that it will bring about many changes in our human resources management policy"
Suprema will attend Intersec 2008 to show its new IP based Fingerprint Access Control Device, BioEntry Plus as well as its BioStation and SFM3000/3500 module products.
Intersec will be held on the 13th to the 15th of January, 2008, at Dubai, U.A.E.
Please note that our booth number is 1716C nearby Korean Pavilion.
At the exhibition, Suprema will exhibit various levels of fingerprint solutions for time attendance, access control and payroll solutions.

NCAA Division III Bracket Projections
We're late in the game, but it just wouldn't be the same without making an attempt at a mock bracket, if only to keep my streak running. While I like my choices in the Pool B and Pool C realm, there are some sticking points, especially with sending Adrian to Salisbury. That's over 500 miles, but I'm guessing the NCAA will just have to bite the bullet (or shuffle things up).
The first round kicks off on Wednesday, May 8. Official brackets are announced at 10 p.m. EDT on NCAA.com.
First Round
Dickinson vs. Bye
Cortland vs. Bye

Despite trying to keep it a secret, San Diego State manager Tony Gwynn has spilled the beans that the presumptive number one overall pick for the Nationals come June, Steven Strasburg will pitch tonight in the NCAA Regional tournament.
Strasburg will face the number two seed University of Virginia tonight and the game will be televised on Comcast Sports Net at 7 P.M. Check him out.
"We're in a position of strength here in that we know," Gwynn said in an address to the media on Wednesday. "When you need to find out, you'll know… TV thinks they should know. Opposing teams think they should know. We don't think they should know. We're doing what's best for San Diego State."

We live in an amazing modern world of turn-key solutions. Especially in America, we have an astounding variety of tools, technology and instant access to information at our finger tips for solving our day-to-day problems. While many of these assets are convenient, they can make us mentally lazy if we let them. We could start to think that being in possession of the "right" or "best" equipment will solve our problems for us. To help shake off this mass media languor, here are a few tips to consider when sharpening up your concealed-carry mindset:
Concealed Firearms Do Not Make Us "Safe"
This practice-good-habits approach should be applied to carrying a concealed handgun as well. One bad habit in particular that can get folks into trouble when carrying, just as when driving, is a lack of situational awareness. Just as the finest set of automotive brakes will not prevent a crash if not applied in time, the very best defensive gear is practically useless if we're mentally asleep at the wheel. Cues to dangerous situations will present themselves if we're paying attention. Carrying a concealed firearm does not prevent danger or cause threats to swerve out of our way (it is concealed, after all). Instead, we need to pay attention and steer clear of potential dangers.
Move Away, and Stay Away, From Danger
When we reached and completed the final room in the simulator, the instructor asked me some interesting questions. Where was the threat in this room? In the back left corner. Where did you originally engage the threat with your pistol? From the hallway while I was using the door frame as cover. Where are you standing now? In the back left corner of the room. So why, exactly, did you rush forward toward the threat and leave the protection of cover? I didn't know then, but I do now.
Behaviors shown on TV and in movies can creep into our self-defense tactics. We are constantly bombarded with images of law enforcement personnel, soldiers and action movie heroes bravely running into danger. While this forward motion makes for an exciting screen play, it's foolish in real-life situations. As soon as a threat is identified, a self-defender should be moving away from it and to cover. Once there, stay behind cover until the threat is neutralized or until forced to move to new or better cover. Generally speaking, moving away from the threat, and staying away, is the best choice.
Defensive Firearms Provide Options, Not Solutions
Jane walked the mall for a few minutes until she found Fred, a uniformed security guard and a family friend. Jane explained the situation and asked if Fred would walk out with her to the car. Fred looked annoyed, rolled his eyes and asked Jane if she had left her concealed-carry handgun at home. No, Jane had it right there in her purse. Fred's reply was, "Then what do you need me for?" Jane remained firm in her request until Fred walked her out. As they approached the vehicle, the young men disbanded and moved away. Jane thanked Fred, drove safely away and was perfectly happy never knowing what the intentions of those men might have been.
Fred and Jane had important differences in their defensive mindset. Fred treated Jane's handgun like it was a solution to the problem. Of course, Jane could boldly wade into the hooligans around her car because she could protect herself, right? Jane, on the other hand, understood the truth of the situation: Choosing to walk into a close-range gun fight is a bad idea—if it can be avoided. She had given herself additional choices by using situational awareness. Having a concealed handgun provided her with a powerful defensive option if forced to fight, but there were better, less dangerous solutions at hand. She could wait for the men to go away, call someone to pick her up or find a security guard to walk her out to the car to neutralize a potential conflict. Remember, lethal force is always the last option.
There Is No "Best" Defensive Handgun
This search has led to the enjoyment of shooting a variety of handguns, but the elusive Grail has yet to appear. Recognizing the absence of absolute shooting perfection is important for a few reasons. It's OK for shooters to seek out the handgun that's the best fit for their personal needs, even if the guy behind the gun counter gives them a hard time about it. You may choose to sacrifice grip size for easier concealment, stopping power for reduced recoil or ammunition capacity for simpler operation. Trust what your instincts tell you when test firing the guns you're thinking of buying. A reliable handgun carried daily, practiced with regularly and shot accurately, will always be the best defensive handgun on the market.
Acknowledging that every handgun has limitations allows the operator to plan and practice accordingly. How many reloads should be carried? Will changing the ammunition improve accuracy or reduce recoil? Is the practical accuracy of this pistol (when I'm shooting it) 7 yards or 15 yards? These are the kinds of questions to be thinking about. Finally, it's important to recognize that no handgun and ammunition combination is guaranteed to do what you want it to do, right when you want it to get done. A "Plan B" should be kept handy in case the handgun jams, fails to stop the threat or in case a dangerous situation does not justify the use of lethal force.

For those uninitiated, "missed connections" is a section of the popular classified advertisement website where people post about meetings that almost happened: a cute bartender that you didn't get to talk to, that pretty girl sitting across from you on the bus.
Although Wisconsin's location was downright predictable (a bar), some other states had some relatively amusing ones. The most common place for a missed connection in Indiana was "at home." It's probably best not to speculate the rationale behind that one. The 14 states where people were mostly likely to (almost) find love in a Wal Mart is a little frightening. Makes a bar seem downright reasonable.

Piedmont women's golf finishes sixth at Chick-Fil-A Collegiate
By staff
ROME -- The Piedmont College women's golf team finished in sixth place out of 17 schools at the Chick-Fil-A Collegiate Invitational hosted by Berry College at Stonebridge Golf Club Oct. 1-2. The Lady Lions carded a two-day total of 334-321655, marking the team's best score in five trips to the event.
The field featured predominately NAIA schools with five participating NCAA Division III teams. Cumberland University won the event with a team score of 313-305--618. PC narrowly missed a top-five result, finishing just three strokes behind Coastal Georgia College.
Katarina Hodge of Dublin earned All-Tournament honors with a team-best 79-76155, which was good for a tie for 5th out of 96 golfers. The sophomore shaved three strokes off her first-round score to move up six spots to finish in fifth.
Cayla Banks of Tyrone rebounded strong from an opening round 90 to post a second-day 75 which marks a career low for the senior. Banks' 90-75--165 was good for a tie for 36th.
Cortney Boggs of Colbert (81-85--166, t39th), Taylor Mitcham of McDonough (86-85--171, t47th), and Maria Carter of Duluth (88-88--176, t57th) rounded out the scoring for Piedmont.

|Does this seem a bit much? Our pool builder quoted us on a chlorine pool when we said we wanted a salt water pool. He said it would cost an extra $1842.00 for salt water. Just curious if this is a lot. I know they want us to get chlorine so we can buy their chemicals every season so I wasn't sure if this price was a lot to deter us from going to salt water.
Also, we wanted to add another LED light and he's charging us $942.00 for another one.
We live in suburbs of Philadelphia.

|A salt pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is how the chlorine gets in the pool.
Yes, the builder is likely charging too much for the salt system, IMHO. There may be extenuating some circumstances but that is too much. Even with added salt, an erosion feeder, and the electrical hook up included it's too close to the MSRP.
You didn't mention if the light was color or just white.
I assume you haven't built the pool yet. Did you sign the contract? If not and he doesn't listen well now, how well will he listen later?

About Me
I'm a Researcher in the Computer Human Interactive Learning (CHIL) group at Microsoft Research. My research interests are at the intersection of human-computer interaction and machine learning. In particular, I'm interested in designing effective end-user driven machine learning for a variety of real-world applications. Concrete examples include image classification, access control in online social networks, and alarm triage in large-scale computer networks. Throughout my work, I identify challenges and opportunities for improving the interactive machine learning process and design new and balanced solutions. I also distill guiding principles applicable in a broader context, providing a foundation for future end-user interactive machine learning systems.
In 2012 I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington's Computer Science & Engineering department, where I was advised by James Fogarty. My dissertation entitled "Designing for Effective End-User Interaction with Machine Learning" won the University of Washington's 2013 Distinguished Dissertation Award. During my time in grad school, I also had the opportunity to work with some amazing people at Google Research, Microsoft Research (VIBE, ASI and TEM) and IBM Research.
Prior to UW, I completed a MSc in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia where I worked at The Laboratory for Computational Intelligence. I also have a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of British Columbia.

Date 2008-04-23 Availability unrestricted AbstractSutherlandia frutescens is a South African herbal remedy traditionally used for various ailments and lately to improve the overall health in cancer and HIV/AIDS patients. Relatively little is known about the mechanisms of action of the constituents present in S. frutescens.
The aim of this project was to examine the in vitro influence of crude ethanolic S. frutescens extracts in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and non-tumorigenic breast epithelial (MCF-12A) cells after 48 h of exposure. Dose-dependent studies were conducted on cell numbers and metabolic activity by means of spectrophotometry. Morphological changes were determined with light-, fluorescent- and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cell cycle progression and apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry. The differential effects of S. frutescens extracts on gene expression levels in both the MCF-7 and MCF-12A cells were conducted utilizing micro array analysis. mTOR kinase activity was measured with an ELISA assay.
S. frutescens reduced cell proliferation in both the non-tumorigenic MCF-12A and the tumorigenic MCF-7 cell line in a dose-dependent manner. The tumorigenic MCF-7 cells were more susceptible to S. frutescens treatment compared to the non-tumorigenic MCF-12A cells. Morphological characteristics of apoptosis and autophagy, including cytoplasmic shrinking, membrane blebbing and an increase in autophagic vacuoles were observed in both cell lines with the MCF-7 cells being more susceptible to autophagy and the MCF-12A cells less susceptible to autophagy and apoptotic cell death. TEM confirmed ultrastructural characteristics of autophagy in both cell lines. Flow cytometry revealed a G2/M arrest with no increase in apoptosis in MCF-7 cells and a G2/M arrest with an increase in apoptosis in MCF-12A cells treated with 1.5mg/ml S. frutescens extract. Microarray analyses revealed 325 statistically significantly differentially expressed genes in MCF-7 cells and 1467 genes in MCF-12A cells. The majority of S. frutescens-treated genes were down-regulated when compared to the vehicle-treated control in both cell lines. Several genes involved in DNA replication and repair were differentially expressed in response to S. frutescens exposure. These include Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase family, member 2 (PARP-2) (down-regulated in both cell lines), PCNA (down-regulated in MCF-7 cells) and growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible beta (GADD45B) (up¬regulated in MCF-12A cells). This suggests that abrogated expression of genes involved in DNA replication and repair play a role in inducing a G2/M cell cycle arrest in S. frutescens-treated cells. ELISA analysis of the mTOR kinase revealed a decrease in mTOR kinase activity in both cell lines after S. frutescens exposure. Therefore, attenuated mTOR kinase activity as a result of S. frutescens treatment in both cell lines is regarded as a central mediator in inducing autophagy suppressing gene expression and inhibiting ribosome biogenesis.
Understanding of in vitro molecular mechanisms of S. frutescens enables researchers to focus on affected cellular mechanisms and identify active compounds with subsequent evaluation as possible candidates for use in anticancer therapy. The current study contributes to the unraveling of the in vitro molecular mechanisms and signal transduction associated with 70% ethanolic S. frutescens extracts, providing a basis for further research on this multi-purpose medicinal plant in Southern Africa.
