Big Data Leads to a Big Win in a Big Election
I am not writing this as a political statement and will refrain from delving into a discussion of politics and the political landscape that has unfolded since last week's Presidential election. Instead, I wanted to focus on some of the comments by major players from both sides in the days following election night. There are many parts to the narrative explaining the results for this most recent election cycle and undoubtedly there will be much more to come, but one thing that has surfaced as the smoke clears is the importance that great data and analysis had on the outcome of the election.
"Nothing happened on election night that surprised me."
In an interview given by David Axelrod, the campaign manager for the President, he was "not surprised" by the results of the election. Why not? He had great confidence in the internal polling conducted by the campaign, which turned out to be "remarkably close" to actual results in the battleground states. By building on the data they already collected from the 2008 campaign, they were able to construct models for the battleground states with deadly precision. They knew what buttons to push to turn out its base. They segmented their base and devised targeted messages to each group. While Republicans accused the President's campaign of being about small things, this is how they won. In the end, they had a better understanding of who was likely to vote and, perhaps most importantly, who was not likely to vote. This latter point is key because that was a fatal flaw of Romney's internal polling efforts. This knowledge coupled with a superior ground game in key districts was critical to the campaign's success. We can sum it up as:
Data versus gut?
Romney was reportedly shocked at the results of the election. Why is that? Because the analysis conducted by his team led to decisions based on, what turns out to be, a faulty assumption that the Democrat turnout would be closer to +3 points rather than the +6 points that the President's team modeled. And guess which campaign was correct? While many of the national polls were also coming away with large 6-7 point Democrat advantages in their polling samples, politicos on the Republican side could not fathom the same advantage. It did not pass the smell test for them given the economic climate. Honestly, my gut led me to the same conclusion absent the raw data, particularly given the challenges that many pollsters face in constructing representative samples. While accusing the pollsters of being biased toward one side, it looks like big data won in this cycle. I wonder if this bias against the +6 to +7 turnout crept into the Romney campaign and prevented them from fully vetting their +3 point assumption with data. If so then that was a critical failure and may be the reason why campaign leaders felt they had "let Mitt Romney down."
Hard lessons
Now with all this being said, a look back into the past shows that polls are hit and miss. In 2004, a national poll had Kerry ahead of President Bush in the battleground state Ohio on the eve of the election. They were wrong. Polls are still polls and nothing is certain until election day. But it does appear that the President's campaign built upon its success in 2008 and achieved a significant competitive advantage over its rival in the use of data. While Team Romney's data and analysis prompted an expansion of the campaign into traditionally Democrat fortresses, the faulty models gave them a false sense of security and hid underlying problems in the battleground states that Romney needed to win the election. Republicans have reportedly made significant gains since 2008 in the use of data, but I think this election shows that they still have a lot of catching up to do. It's a hard lesson to learn, but one that can help them in future cycles.

Pros Great Looks,Good Performance,
Cons Average Fuel Efficiency,
I bought this car to drive on the highways on weekends. I already have Cayman S and i enjoyed driving this once in bangalore. It has excellent power and i love to go fast. It has good grip from tyre and best handling chassis. It goes fast around turns and the grip is just like race car. The service is good and experience with Porsche India is excellent.

What you'll learn
It is a simple matter to convert one embroidery format to another. It is done by opening a design, no matter what its format, and then saving it with the new format. We will illustrate this by opening a .jef format design from the Embroidery Album and saving it to .pes and .hus formats.
Convert Embroidery Formats
1. Click the Open icon.
2. The Open dialog box will appear.
3. Click the down arrow in the Files of type: box. Click Janome/Elna/Kenmore (*.JEF) to view designs that are in .jef format.
4. Click the Fish.JEF design once to see it in the Preview window.
5. Click the Open button to bring it to the design screen.
6. To convert it to .pes format, click File, Save As...
7. The Save As dialog box will appear.
8. Click the down arrow in the Save as type: box.
9. Click Deco, Brother, Babylock (*.PES).
10. Click the Save button. A PES Hoop Type dialog box will appear.
11. You can change the hoop type or size if necessary before saving the design. When ready, click the OK button to save the design in .pes format.
12. Click the down arrow in the Save as type: box. Click Husqvarna/Viking (*.HUS).
13. Click the Save button. There is no interim dialog box, so the design is saved in .hus format.
This same process is used to convert other formats to *.jef files. Converting formats is as simple as opening the design and saving it in the desired format.

How To Tell Apache To Not Log Certain Requests In Its Access Log
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2007-09-28 09:25. :: Apache
How To Tell Apache To Not Log Certain Requests In Its Access Log
Version 1.0
Normally Apache logs all requests in its access log. In certain cases this can distort your page view statistics (if you use a tool like Webalizer or AWStats that creates statistics based on Apache's access log), for example if you get lots of visits from search engine spiders or from a certain IP address (e.g. your own), or if each of your pages includes another page (e.g. in an iframe) from your web site (that would instantly double your page views which is obviously not correct). This short guide shows how you use Apache's SetEnvIf directive to prevent Apache from logging such requests.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Using SetEnvIf
The SetEnvIf directive can be used in the following contexts in your Apache configuration: in the global Apache configuration (if the directive should be valid for the whole server), in vhost configurations (if the directive should be valid only for that specific vhost), between <Directory ...></Directory> (if the directive should be valid only for a certain directory and its subdirectories), and in .htaccess files (AllowOverride FileInfo must be set).
With SetEnvIf, you can prevent requests from getting logged based on the following criteria (among others - see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_setenvif.html for more details):
The SetEnvIf directive has the following form:
SetEnvIf attribute regex env-variable
where attribute is one of the criteria I've just mentioned, and regex is a Perl compatible regular expression.
Now let's assume that Monit is requesting the file /monit/token once a minute to check if Apache is still running. Obviously we don't want to log these requests because they are not from a real user. Therefore we use the following SetEnvIf directive:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/monit/token$" dontlog
^ means that the Request_URI must begin with /monit/token, $ means that it must also end with /monit/token (so only /monit/token matches this regular expression). If we used "^/monit/token", any URL beginning with /monit/token would match the regular expression, e.g. /monit/token/example.html; "/monit/token$" would match any URL ending in /monit/token, e.g. /example/monit/token.
Now we have an iframe in /iframe/iframe.html that we don't want to log either. This is what we'd use:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/iframe/iframe.html$" dontlog
Now we must tell Apache that it must not log all requests labelled with dontlog. Find the CustomLog directive in your Apache configuration, e.g.
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog --symlink=/var/log/httpd/access.log /var/log/httpd/access.log_%Y_%m_%d" combined
and add env=!dontlog to the line:
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined env=!dontlog
CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog --symlink=/var/log/httpd/access.log /var/log/httpd/access.log_%Y_%m_%d" combined env=!dontlog
Restart Apache afterwards. Now it won't log any request anymore that is labelled with dontlog.
Here are some further examples that I've found on these pages:
To prevent all requests made with a certain browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, from getting logged, you could use:
SetEnvIf User_Agent "(MSIE)" dontlog
To not log requests from any client whose hostname ends in bla.example.com, use:
SetEnvIf Remote_Host "bla.example.com$" dontlog
To not log requests from any client whose hostname begins with example, use:
SetEnvIf Remote_Host "^example" dontlog
To not log requests from a certain IP address, use something like:
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "192\.168\.0\.154" dontlog
If you don't want requests of your robots.txt to get logged, use:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/robots\.txt$" dontlog
Apart from SetEnvIf, which is case-sensitive, you can use SetEnvIfNoCase which is case-insensitive.
For example, in order not to log certain search engine spiders, you could use:
SetEnvIFNoCase User-Agent "Slurp/cat" dontlog
Or to not log certain file extensions, use something like this:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.(gif)|(jpg)|(png)|(css)|(js)|(ico)|(eot)$" dontlog
To not log certain referrals (e.g. from your own domain), use something like:
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "www\.mydomain\.com" dontlog

The Easter Cycling Camps will provide ideal preparation for the An Post Tour of Sligo Family Fun Day which takes place on Saturday 4th May. The Family Fun Day was introduced as part of the overall An Post Tour in 2012 and it proved a huge success with over 500 children and parents involved in the 10K Hazelwood Spin. A 2K Bike Trail has been introduced for 2013 in the grounds of the IT Sligo. Also, there will also be lots of entertainment on the day including a spectacular acrobatic show, cycling side shows, BMX display and cycling skills challenge.
The An Post Tour Family Fun Day is supported by Sligo Borough Council 4.5.8 committee while refreshments on the day will also be provided by Good 4 U.
Meanwhile, entries from all over the country are being received on a daily basis from cyclists for the An Post Tour 60k/ 100k/ 160k. Early interest levels indicate that the An Post Tour of Sligo will have record entries in 2013.
As the number of participants is capped at 2000 all intending cyclists are encouraged to register well in advance for the event. The Friends of Sligo Regional Hospital are the worthy charity for the 2013 Tour.

Moderated by Coit Blacker of the Center for International Security and Arms Control.
Stephen Band of the British Embassy, and John P. Holdren, Professor of Energy and Resources, Berkeley, debate opposing views concerning the installation of Pershing IIs and Cruise missiles in Europe, the anticipated upsetting of the arms balance, the reduced possibility of arms control and the increased possibility of splitting NATO. Fellow panelist Hilmar Linnenkamp of the West German Defense Ministry and the Institute for East-West Security Studies points out the dramatic changes that have occured in Europe over the last 15 years and predicts that the most decisive factor in the debate will not be numbers of missiles nor nuclear strategies but the political "blood pressure" of Europe and the world.

HOUSTON, Sept. 2 -- Pioneer Natural Resources Co. is pursuing divestment of properties in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and of its nonoperated properties in southern Argentina's Tierra del Fuego.
In addition, Pioneer announced plans on Sept. 1 to reduce its exploration budget to 15-20% of total capital from 30%, reallocate capital to US and Canadian holdings, and initiate a $1 billion stock repurchase plan.
The Irving, Tex., company said high commodity prices and an active asset market prompted its decision to sell the properties.
Since entering the deepwater Gulf in 1998, Pioneer drilled 33 successful exploration and development wells and gained interests in three producing deepwater projects and 90 deepwater blocks.
Meanwhile, Pioneer also expanded and balanced its exploration portfolio in onshore North America, Alaska, and Africa and believes these opportunities are better aligned with its exploration objectives.
Pioneer executives believe they can reduce exploration risk and production volatility by selling deepwater properties.

Tim Dove, Pioneer's president and chief operating officer, said, "We are significantly expanding our development drilling programs in our Spraberry and South Texas fields in the US and the Chinchaga and Horseshoe Canyon fields in Canada, and coming into this year, expanded our Raton domestic drilling program."
Dove said Pioneer also is pursuing commercialization of two discoveries in Alaska and has an active exploration program focused on prospects with nearer-term production impact planned for this winter.
"By the end of this year, we will have initiated drilling activities in several of our Piceance and Uinta fields in the Rockies and will be testing our Mannville coalbed methane potential in Canada, and we will work to continue to expand our unconventional and tight gas positions in these areas and the onshore Gulf Coast," he said.

Black ink will not print
Black in k will not print from my L7590. The ink level indicated it was getting low so I replaced the cartridge. The ink level now reads full but no black ink comes out. I unplugged the machine to reset it. I ran the align printhead, clean printhead and calibrate line feed utilities from the printer toolbox. I even purchase a second new black print cartridge. I still do not print black ink. What would my next step be?
Thank you
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: Black ink will not print
During the print test, did it print on the paper?
If not, you may have to replace the print heads.

Re: Black ink will not print
During the print test all colors work except black. Could that still be print heads?
Re: Black ink will not print
I think the problem is the Black\Yellow printhead. Have you tried cleaning the electrical contacts on the printhead and the printer head slot? I'd try this too.
Also, when was the last time you replaced the printheads?

Re: Black ink will not print
Yes, I agree with Dexter. It could be the Black/Yellow printhead that is the problem.
And if you haven't changed the printheads since you have owned the printer, it
may be time to do so.
Printer: HP LaserJet P2015
Re: Black ink will not print
My 6310 will not print in black.. test prints.. but no black. printer is brand new.
Re: Black ink will not print
I have the same printer with the same problem.
Open the HP solution center, click on settings/ print settings/ printer toolbox.
Click on the services tab and click clean print heads.
Do this over and over till it prints properly. (It took me 8 sheets)
If the problem returns, you likely need to replace the print head. Most places sell it for $72.
DONT CALL HP SUPPORT. They will just tell you it is a hardware issue and try to sell you a now printer for more than what Staples and Office Max sell them for. Then they will charge you to tell you what I just did.
If I solved your problem, GREAT Have a nice day.
Here is my story:
I have a HP Officejet Pro L7590.
For the last week I have to clean my print head every time the printer goes for 3 or more hours with out printing anything.
I called Tech support today, first I am told the unit is out of warranty and then I explained the issue and they told me it was a hardware issue. They guy was real nice and offered to make me a great deal on a new printer. They offered two different units. The deals they offered were $30 more than I can buy the same exact printer from Staples or Office Max.
I told the guy I thought he was going to offer me a deal and he said he is. He could not understand why I would not wait for a new unit then ship my unit back to him for a $50 rebate. I told him I can buy either one of the printers he offered for $30 less, have it in 15 minutes, and still get the $50 rebate with out having to ship the old one back.
Then he offered me a service plan. $30 for one service call. I told him I was not going to pay someone $30 to tell me to go buy a $72 print head, especially when the guy just tried to sell me a printer for more than what Staples & Office Max sell them for. If a $30 service plan would fix my issue then why was he trying to sell me a $300 printer?
I have owned 3 all in ones, and 6 desk jets over the last 10 years, I have had issues with printers in the past and called tech support. I had helpful people with solutions and if my warranty was expired the tech would tell me, I am 99% sure we can solve your issue but you need to get the new service plan. I got the plan and the solution worked. I was a happy customer.
That was not the case today.
Today "Tom" my, English as a second language, HP Customer service rep, tried to sell me something, Offered no solutions and then asked what my budget was for a new printer. They guy just tried to screw me on two other printers, why would I buy anything from him.
I am so fed up with companies trying to screw their clients instead of providing customer service.
HP needs to do business like they talk. My software is called the "HP Solution Center". They didn't offer solutions for my problem. They just tried to eliminate the middle man and charge me more money for it.
I guess I am going to be in the market for a different printer manufacture.
Re: Black ink will not print
I had the same problem: the black ink did not print.
Cleaning the printheads worked.
Thank you.
Re: Black ink will not print
Weird, but I managed to fix the same problem, probably by unplugging the machine and starting it again. I guess it reset itself this way.
I have all in 1 HP C7250 and have had problems with black ink for months. After many trials of alignment and head cleaning, it stopped printing black entirely. Today I removed the black ink cartridge, cleaned around the holes with a cotton swab, and reinserted the same cartridge. I doubt if this process did anything to correct the problem. But then in desperation I also pulled the electric plug out (tried to shut it down first, but it refused..).
Restarted, printed out a document, and all of a sudden it's printing perfectly!!!
I hope yours responds to this trick as well.

I am soooo angry! My HP PHOTOSMART PLUS won't print black ink even though I ALWAYS buy genuine HP products! I installed a brand new cartridge and all I get is faded blue! I even carry the convenient "INK CARD" in my wallet with precisely the right ink replacement numbers! I'm trying to print my flight itinerary and the stupid product proves unreliable! Thanks alot HP!!!

I Agree - Run From SCANA
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I have an excellent payment record with Scana on my residential account. I have a small house that is zoned O&I with Atlanta Gas where the last tenant left with 30 months remaining on the lease. To acquire another account, Scana required a credit check, it had to be in a business name with a Fed. ID number. SS number would not suffice. I am the landlord who needs service for the months between tenants and not moving a business into the property. I must have heat in order for the pipes not to freeze. I happened to have three mailings now from other providers offering me lower fixed rates. Upon calling one of those (who obviously knows my credit is good to be on the mailing list) set my account up using my SS number with no credit check. They also offered me a 6 month fixed rate with no early exit penalty. Am I the only landlord out there to need gas service on a rental property who doesn't have a business?

Service Turned Off with no Notice
Posted by
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA -- My roommate is responsible for paying the natural gas bill with SCANA, and let me just say upfront that, yes, he did not pay it. As such, I completely understand the fact that they turned the service off, and there was a fee to reconnect it, but I think the entire way the situation was handled was the worst customer service I've ever seen, and I work for an airline.
The bill comes due on the 10th of each month. We live in an upstairs, south facing apartment in Georgia, and the only thing that uses natural gas is our heat. Our bill for February was $22, which he didn't pay. The bill for March was $26, and when it wasn't paid on the 12th, they shut our service off, and the reconnection fee was $80, almost twice the past due amount.
Now granted, the statements which are emailed (paperless billing), which he didn't open clearly stated the account was past due, though it didn't indicate our service was about to disconnected. My question is this: shouldn't a natural gas company be required by law, or common decency since its a necessity, to notify someone before they disconnect service? There was never an email sent along with his statement, or in his statement. They never called him to notify him. Since we live in apartment, the man had to walk up the stairs to leave the notice on our door and didn't even knock, because we were both home. We could have answered and paid the bill at the last minute. Since its an apartment complex, we have no choice of providers, so it's like they know they can do whatever they want.
I completely think it's my roommate fault; I just can't believe they disconnected our service with no notification, in winter (granted a winter in Georgia), for $40. Anyone see my point?

Contact the Georgia Public Service Commission. They are your state's governing agency for public utility companies. You can search the web for contact information.
You can file a complaint or simply ask them what type of notification is required before shut off. They should know all the applicable statutes and laws.
Anonymous on 03/20/2008:
If your boyfriend had looked at the bills, it would have said there that the bill is past due. That is the only notification that you would get. If they had to call people for past due balances, they would probably need a whole separate call center just to deal with that! I just don't see companies doing that anytime soon.
madconsumer on 03/20/2008:
I bet you did get a notice, it is just your roommate tossed it out in the trash bin. he had no concern over the payment at all.
Hugh_Jorgen on 03/20/2008:
I'm sure they didn't knock on your door because the service man didn't want a confrontation over cutting off your service.
Ponie on 03/20/2008:
What kind of cheese would you like to go with your whine? If you didn't pay your rent on the apartment for two months, do you suppose this type complaint would prevent the marshalls from evicting you? Don't blame your carelessness on the gas company.
Crown Jules on 03/20/2008:
When you signed up for service, there might have been some wording stating that you would be disconnected if the bill went unpaid for a certain amount of time. They apparently didn't disconnect you after the February bill went unpaid so when the next one wasn't paid they were probably well within their rights to do what they did. As for the guy who posted the disconnect notice on your door, he may not be authorized to accept payments.
Consider this a lesson learned and either get a more responsible roommate or put the bills in your name.
Anonymous on 03/20/2008:
It's hard to determine the larger problem...the disconnect or the roommate. I'd call the gas company and ask for a copy of the disconnect notice. But, as you are not responsible for the bill, they may not give it to you. "IF" your roommie is being 100% honest with you, the roommie will be thrilled to request the copy to prove their honesty. I think it highly likely the roommate didn't pay the bill, ignored the disconnect notice, expected you to pay 50% of the reconnect fee, and is pleading innocence with crossed fingers. Good luck!
wgaguy1984 on 03/21/2008:
Good advice from everyone but Ponie, who is kind of bitter, and it wasn't MY carelessness. Like I said, not arguing the fee or disconnect just the lack of notification, and as Crown suggested, read the contract and it plainly states if two months go unpaid, it'll be disconnected. My apologies to SCANA.
No cheese, thanks, but I would like some original thought on the side of that cliche you just served up.
blogger3377 on 10/19/2009:
I am in agreement with you wgaguy1984. The problem that I have with SCANNA is that it takes 5 business days inorder for them to reconnect. If I must pay $50.00 dollars to have my services reconnected, I don't want it to take more than two days. Also, I don't have a choice in selecting one of their competitors, since I also live in an apartment. Its about customer service. I will do my part and report them to the Georgia Public Service Commission. I wonder if SCANNA has this commission in their pocket.
NickInAtlanta on 11/11/2011:
Yea- Scana is a trip! My bill was due on October 25th. On November 9th they disconnected me. For a $50 gas bill. No notice. Pay the $50 and the $50 reconnect BEFORE they schedule a reconnect- 5 days out. It is the most difficult utility to not have- beside electric. At least the electric will notify you. Never had the electric off. Its winter, its cold, no hot water, NO HEAT, can't cook. Those are MAJOR inconveniences. You're going to pay them- you have to have GAS. Why spend the money to send someone out to disconnect you when they could just do a courtesy call and get their money?? Absurd it is.

"You can believe everything you read"

GEORGIA -- Unbelievable... Scana energy cut off my natural gas. I have been a customer for 15 years and I missed last month's payment. I called them, and they told me it would take 1-5 days to re-connect and I would be charged a $60.00 fee. I couldn't believe it. I run a business and I would never treat a customer of mine I had for 15 years that way... what ever. Well now you've heard my story and say "so what". I was so mad I decided to vent by doing something stupid like writing this. So I found this site, and the first review sounded just like mine... exactly like mine. Moral of the story, I hope you are reading this junk, not writing it like me. If you are a customer of Scana, good luck. I had them for 15 years and now I'm showering with cold water for 5 business days. But don't worry, the story has a good outcome. After a long cold shower, I started looking at rates. I was paying 1.09 per therm with Scana. I talked to Georgia Natural Gas and their fixed rate for 1 year was. 699 per therm. You know that old thing every cloud has a sliver something or other. Maybe it's true. If you live in Georgia, check your rates. You don't always get what you pay for.
The people at Scana were very nice on the phone. They must go to a special school to learn how to say "no" and "we're sorry, but that is our policy" in such a friendly tone.

When you miss a payment no company checks to see how long you've been with them. The result, they cut off your service and charge a re-connect fee. Why are you so surprised?

Lack of customer loyality
Posted by
COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA -- I have been a muliple use customer of Scana for many years... Several accounts.. Recently, I went to a billpay through my bank... Of the three accounts, I missed requesting that one of them be paid. I returned from Europe to find my service turned off with an elderly person in my home.
Scana had my email address and my past record but yet did not notify me nor make any concessions. I pleaded with them to get it back on but they were totally insensitive.
As we sat here in the cold for the weekend, my distain for the company grows.. I shall do everything legal to express my hate for them.
I have switched my accounts to a company that is more customer friendly.. Scana you have made an enemy........

There is no such thing as customer loyalty. I, jaded old thing that I am, no longer expect to even be thanked for shopping someplace.

I agree, sherdy. Loyalty is a concept of the past. NO company out there gives a damn one way or the other if you leave them.
wsvoboda on 01/01/2011:
The Best thing you can do is post this to every site possible...It does start to cause them issues....Did you write to the CEO of SCANA? I would. Also, if they are listed on the NYSE ... you can find out board members email addresses and let them know what happened. I did that with an issue I had with Dell computers. Hope this helps! Keep us posted!

Don't Use Scana!!
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- Scana cut off my family's power without notice and left me and my children in the cold. When I called they told me I'd have to go to a service center to pay a late bill and only then would they turn on our heat. After paying, we called them and then they said they wouldn't be able to turn it on for 4 days!!!!

That is what happens when you don't pay your electric bill.
Ytropious on 11/06/2009:
Ditto that, they don't turn it off unless they have a good reason. You never mention how late your bill was or why it was late in the first place.
Anonymous on 11/07/2009:
Scana Energy is natural gas in Georgia, not electricity. A four day delay in restoring service seems excessive.
Depending on the time of year and the weather I thought they were not allowed to disconnect services related to heating the home. It may be too early in the season for that. Maybe writing the due date of your utilities on a calendar will be helpful in reminding you that its time to send in the payment.
Anonymous on 11/07/2009:
Depends on the temperature and how far behind the bill is. Here in TN they can cut you off anytime when you are late.
PepperElf on 11/07/2009:
And one would think "children in the cold" would be a good reason to pay your bill on time.
Hugh_Jorgen on 11/07/2009:
Scana is simply a "gas marketer" in Georgia. They have no service techs of their own to actually turn the service on or off. The actual on site service is provided by Georgia Natural Gas.
So it is more likely the delay is coming from the GNG side of the equation - all Scana can do is send instructions to turn the service back on, they don't actually unlock the meter themselves.

Reconnect Fees When No Bill Even Due!
Posted by
MACON, GEORGIA -- I inadvertently paid by gas bill for November of 2008 twice. Once on 11/21 and once on 12/16. When I realized my mistake, I called Scana to see if they could back one out. They said no I would have to call my bank and place a stop pay on the second one. I did. On January 8 I come home and find out my gas was disconnected. When I called they said because I had a returned check fee?? I explained the situation and they understood and took the returned check fee off but told me they could do nothing about the reconnect and that I couldn't get my gas restored until the next day. Even though it is supposed to be 32 degrees tonight and we have no heat. They told me I had no choice so I went in to pay the bill that isn't even due until 1/15 on today and it didn't include any reconnect fees so I again called hoping the first caller had made a mistake. They maintained their story and threatened me with more reconnect fees and said I had to go into my account and create a $60 credit before they would make an appointment for someone to turn my gas on.
This just doesn't seem ethical at all but I got absolutely nowhere with reps or supervision. And all of this and you can count on one hand the times I have even been slightly late with my payment!

When trying to implement client side image maps in Mozilla, we have hit a problem. The following is valid XHTML:

 <map id="map">
A
 <area href="#b" shape="rect" coords="30,30,40,40">B</area> </map> But, assuming images are disabled or the UA does not support images, how should the above be rendered? I need to know what the expected behaviour as we are currently trying to implement this in Mozilla. With the content model of MAP in HTML4 this was not an issue, since in that case AREAs and other content could not be mixed in MAP elements. Previously, if the MAP contained only AREA elements then the AREA elements would be turned into a menu and would replace the IMG altogether, and if the MAP contained mix content then the IMG would be replaced by its alt text, made inert, and the MAP would be renderered inline where it appeared in the document.

(James) Maxwell Anderson (15 December 1888 – 28 February 1959) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, author, poet, reporter and lyricist, and a founding member of The Playwrights' Company (which included, at various times, Maxwell Anderson, S. N. Behrman, Elmer Rice, Robert E. Sherwood, Sidney Howard, Roger L. Stevens, John F. Wharton, and Kurt Weill, and produced many notable plays of the 20th century).
His life
He was born in Atlantic, Pennsylvania, the second child of William Lincoln Anders, a Baptist minister, and his wife, formerly Charlotte Perrimela Stephenson. His family initially lived on his maternal grandmother's farm in Atlantic, then moved to Andover, Ohio, where his father became a railroad fireman while studying to become a minister. They moved to Jamestown, North Dakota in 1907, where Anderson attended Jamestown High School, graduating in 1908.
As an undergraduate, he waited tables and worked at the night copy desk of the Grand Forks Herald, and was active in the school's literary and dramatic societies. He obtained a B.A. in English Literature from the University of North Dakota in 1911. He became the principal of a high school in Minnewaukan, North Dakota, also teaching English there, but he was fired from this job in 1913 because he had made pacifist statements to his students. He then entered Stanford University, obtaining an M.A. in English Literature in 1914. He became a high school English teacher in San Francisco: after three years he became chairman of the English department at Whittier College in 1917. He was fired after a year for public statements supporting a student seeking conscientious objector status.
He next became a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, then moved to New York, where he wrote editorials for the The New Republic, the Evening Globe, and the Morning World.
In 1921, he founded Measure, a magazine devoted to verse. He wrote his first play, White Desert, in 1923, which ran only twelve performances, but was well-reviewed by the book reviewer for the New York World, Laurence Stallings, who collaborated with him on his next play What Price Glory?, which was successfully produced in 1924 in New York City. Afterwords he resigned from the World, launching his career as a dramatist.
He wrote many well-known plays, of widely-varying styles, and was one of the few modern playwrights to make extensive use of blank verse. Some of these became movies, and Anderson wrote screen adaptations of other authors' plays and novels (Death Takes a Holiday, All Quiet on the Western Front), as well as books of poetry and essays. The only one of his plays that he himself adapted to the screen was Joan of Lorraine, which became the 1948 film Joan of Arc, starring Ingrid Bergman, with a screenplay by Anderson and Andrew Solt . Anderson was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1933 for his political drama Both Your Houses, and twice received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, for Winterset, and High Tor.
Anderson was, above all, a strong believer in the dignity of man (although humanism might be too strong of a word), and many of his plays focus on the concepts of liberty and justice. Anderson can probably be credited with popularizing the use of poetry in modern drama. He chose to write in solitude, preferring to write longhand in a wire-bound notebook, and refused to attend the opening nights of his plays.
He enjoyed great commercial success with a series of plays set during the reign of the Tudor family, who ruled England, Wales and Ireland from 1485 until 1603. One in particular, Anne of the Thousand Days - the story of Henry VIII's brutal marriage to Anne Boleyn - was a hit on the stage in 1948, but did not reach movie screens for twenty-one years, perhaps due to censorship (there is much use of the word "bastards" in the play, and frank discussion of sexual relationships). It opened on Broadway starring Rex Harrison and Joyce Redman, and, in 1969 became an Oscar-winning movie with Richard Burton and Geneviève Bujold. (Margaret Furse won for her costume designs, but in a year that the costume drama might have been seen as old-fashioned, that was the only Oscar out of several nominations that the film actually won.) The play is still occasionally performed today. Another of his Tudor plays, Elizabeth the Queen, was adapted as The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, starring the legendary actress Bette Davis and Hollywood pin-up, Errol Flynn. And still another of his plays involving Elizabeth I, Mary of Scotland, was turned into a film, albeit an unsuccessful one, in 1936, starring Katharine Hepburn as Mary, Queen of Scots, Fredric March as the Earl of Bothwell, and Florence Eldridge as Elizabeth. The play had been a hit on Broadway starring Helen Hayes in the title role.
He married Margaret Haskett, a fellow classmate, on 1 August 1911 in Bottineau, North Dakota. They had three sons, Quentin, Alan, and Terence. Margaret died of cancer on 22 February 1931. Anderson then resided with Gertrude "Mab" Higger starting in about October 1933. A daughter, Hesper, was born 2 August 1934. Gertrude ("Mab") committed suicide on 21 March 1953. Her daughter Hesper (who was screenwriter for the movie Children of a Lesser God, wrote a book South Mountain Road: A Daughter's Journey of Discovery about her unearthing, only after the suicide, the fact that her parents had never married. Maxwell Anderson did marry once more, to Gilda Hazard, on 6 June 1954.
Honorary awards include the Gold Medal in Drama from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1954, an honorary Doctor of Literature degree from Columbia University in 1946, and an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from the University of North Dakota in 1958.
Two of Anderson's other historical plays, Valley Forge (about George Washington's winter there with the Continental Army) , and Barefoot in Athens, about the trial of Socrates, were adapted for television, but not for the cinema. Indeed, Valley Forge was adapted for television three times - in 1950, 1951, and 1975.
Maxwell Anderson died in Stamford, Connecticut, on 28 February 1959, two days after suffering a stroke.

Report: Two-Hour Grey's Anatomy Event to Begin Planned Kate Walsh Spinoffby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Although the plot is still shrouded in Shonda Rhimes-style secrecy, both TV Guide and Variety magazine have discovered some new dirt on the planned Grey's Anatomy spin-off, and how it may begin.
In addition to opening the door for Addison to possibly leave the halls of Seattle Grace, "My Favorite Mistake" will also introduce guest star Taye Diggs - as well as Hector Elizondo (Chicago Hope) as Callie's father.
The episode will be directed by Michael Grossman, who was last behind the camera for "Great Expectations" - the terrific episode in which both Burke and George popped the question to their respective ladies.
An exact air date for "My Favorite Mistake" has not been announced by ABC, but the episode will serve as the 22nd and 23rd Grey's Anatomy episodes (out of 24) in the current Season 3.
This is all very interesting news. Is the door also open for Addison to remain at Seattle Grace if viewer response to the episode is negative? Or is it a done deal that she's gone? Previous reports suggest the latter, but this makes it sound slightly less certain.
In any event, Grey's Anatomy returns with new episodes in two weeks, Thursday, March 15. That episode will be titled "Scars and Souvenirs."
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy
That is why they are having the 2hr. spin off in May just to see how it is going to go. Which is good because it will give them an idea before they start taping again for season 4.
I actually just read on spoilerfix.com that should the Grey's 2.0 flop, Walsh has a clause in her contract that guarantees her a return trip to Seattle Grace. So rest easy kate/addison fans.
Since spinoffs usually suck, I have mixed feelings about the new show. I think that it may be able to work if she goes off with Sloan back to NY or wherever they're from. We will see I guess!
BUT, all this talk about K. Heigl being upset that she doesn't get her own show and, well, everyone being upset about it, I just don't really understand the problem. If anyone else were to leave and get their own show, Grey's just wouldn't be the same because the show is about all of them. The only exception really IS Addison and Mark because they are just temporary people. Addison came to the show to get Derek, she didn't get him, now she can leave. Mark came to get Addison, so let him take her and they can do their own thing. Seriously, for the overall show, they're the only two characters that can leave and not ruin the show.
Does anyone else think that the behavior of Kathryn Heigl and Ellen Pompeo is that of spoiled divas who are a bit ahead of the right to be divas??? And does anyone think that "Izzi" in her current state could leave and not be missed??? She has become hateful and mean-spirited and I HATE the way she treats Callie! What's up with these women??
wait what.
Kate Walsh CAN NOT LEAVE.
we need addison.
she is an amazing character.
I don't want Kate Walsh to leave .... She is a great actress and could very well have her on show I just don't want her to leave GA
Hi everyone, this is my petition concerning the spin off, if you would visit the site and sign if you agree would be great thanks!
Sorry, didn't mean to post but one time and I typed in a hurry and I've noticed alot of mispellings!
don't believe spoilers! seriously...anyone can write those

Welcome back to Mr. Blasberg's Best-Dressed List, our editor at large Derek Blasberg's look at the week in style. What happened in the world of style this week? (Apart from the obvious fashion free-for-all that was the Met's Costume Institute gala, that is.) According to Blasberg, the ladies were feeling floral and frisky, and lacey and racy. First, we saw a slew of pretty young things in the delicate sheer stuff (Lana del Rey in a tangerine Mulberry for a performance in New York and Hollywood starlet Bella Heathcote in a ruffled-and-lace Emilio Pucci dress for a premiere in London), and then came the prints from the likes of Olympia Scarry and Chloë Moretz (both in Proenza Schouler), and Florence Welch stomping out a funky pattern (in Prabal Gurung). And showing these young ladies how to do it were two of the original supermodels whose looks just knocked it out of the park.

They kept to the shadows so no one would know they existed, and preyed on the nameless who no one would miss. Where did they come from, and who was protecting them? In a city that had seen every kind of savagery, they were something new, something more than murderous. And one woman who had thought she had lost everything there was to lose in life would soon find that nothing could possibly prepare her for what would come when she entered their world.

Unions to spend heavily on state, local racesSeptember 26, 2013 @ 10:15 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's largest labor federation plans to shift more of its political resources into state and local campaigns next year.
AFL-CIO political director Michael Podhorzer says mid-term election spending is expected to be at the same or greater level as the 2010 campaign cycle, when the AFL-CIO spent more than $53 million on federal and state races.
Top targets for defeat include Republican governors in Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, where unions have fought efforts to curb collective bargaining rights.
Podhorzer says the focus on state campaigns doesn't mean labor leaders are ignoring the mid-term congressional races. He says labor's political efforts will also boost Democrats in key congressional districts.
The federation represents 57 unions and about 12 million members.

Q: My ex and I have been divorced for three years and share custody of our two sons, ages five and seven. Halloween will be here at the end of the month, and my ex and I are already fighting about who will take the kids trick-or-treating. It causes the same argument every year. Once and for all, how do we decide?
A: When divorcing, most parents remember to include in their divorce decree how they will spend the high-profile holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, but forget about the holidays that don't command quite so much attention. As a result, days like Halloween become problematic and an unanticipated source of stress.
But Halloween is not the problem. It's the decision-making process you have with your ex that is at the root of your arguments.
You are not alone. Most divorced parents do not have a plan in place for making decisions for their children. If something comes up that's not in the divorce decree, parents just fight about it. Someone wins, someone loses. Truth is, when decision making is approached in that manner, the one who loses the most is the child. That's why it is imperative to agree upon a method to make decisions for your children even though you are no longer living with their other parent.
Some find this suggestion unrealistic. If you are divorced, they say, you will never problem solve together. What's the incentive? This attitude is understandable for those who hold onto the old-school divorce rules of "Don't talk to your ex after your breakup." Many parents, however, are now coming to understand that their obligation to make the best decisions for their children doesn't change just because they are no longer together, and their children's well-being becomes the motivation to cooperate with an ex.
