CCKShort for Complementary Code Keying, a set of 64 eight-bit code words used to encode data for 5.5 and 11Mbps data rates in the 2.4GHz band of 802.11b wireless networking. The code words have unique mathematical properties that allow them to be correctly distinguished from one another by a receiver even in the presence of substantial noise and multipath interference.
CCK works only in conjunction with the DSSS technology that is specified in the original 802.11 standard. It does not work with FHSS. CCK applies sophisticated mathematical formulas to the DSSS codes, permitting the codes to represent a greater volume of information per clock cycle. The transmitter can then send multiple bits of information with each DSSS code, enough to make possible the 11Mbps of data rather than the 2Mbps in the original standard.

Here it is folks. First ride on Seymour tomorrow (I would do Fromme except the snow). I rode it around today to iron out the kinks. Rear end feels more "dead" but I am sure this is me (dead relative to the Fly rear end). Small bump compliance is FAR better than the Curnutt. I think I wished the handlebars were higher, but perhaps that is me. Might need a new seatpost as the full insertion seattube might allow for better pedalling than the Fly.
Build went smoothe. Not too much issues. Mostly getting the parts. But all were found and 2 weeks after a busted frame I am back in the game. Boy, the bars are sure wide.

Saddle Creek Chooses Ryder For Natural Gas Vehicle Solution
Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial transportation and supply chain management solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Saddle Creek Logistics Services (Saddle Creek) for a natural gas vehicle solution in two markets. With the agreement, Saddle Creek will lease 31 heavy duty compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles from Ryder. Thirty of the CNG vehicles will run in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas region and be maintained by Ryder at its Fort Worth service facility, which is being upgraded to meet the unique compliance requirements for natural gas. One vehicle will operate in Saddle Creek's Shreveport, Louisiana delivery fleet and be maintained at Ryder's existing natural gas vehicle maintenance facility in that city.
With natural gas vehicles already available for lease and rent in California, Arizona, Michigan, New York, and Louisiana, Ryder now adds Texas as its newest market with a natural gas vehicle maintenance capability.
"Ryder is leveraging its leadership in natural gas to make it as easy as possible for customers to implement sustainable transportation solutions that also enable them to realize meaningful cost-savings and efficiencies," said Ryder President of Global Fleet Management Solutions, Dennis Cooke. "When businesses want the most experience, knowledge, and expertise in natural gas vehicle solutions, they turn to Ryder."
Saddle Creek, a 47-year-old, family-owned, third party logistics provider offers comprehensive integrated logistics services and has locations across the contiguous 48 states. Saddle Creek will take delivery of the new CNG vehicles during the first quarter of 2014. The CNG vehicles are part of a strategic initiative by Saddle Creek to reduce its carbon footprint and control fuel costs. The company already has more than 100 CNG tractors in its fleet of 430 vehicles, making it one of the largest CNG over the road tractor fleet in operation in the country. Saddle Creek also invested in its own fueling station at its Lakeland, Florida headquarters.

Leading the way to explore engineering; Shrewsbury, WPI partner in program.
SHREWSBURY - For the past two decades, high schools across the country have been cutting industrial arts industrial arts
n. (used with a sing. verb)
A subject of study aimed at developing the manual and technical skills required to work with tools and machinery.
Noun 1. classes. At Shrewsbury High School There are several schools named Shrewsbury High School
- Shrewsbury High School (England)
- Shrewsbury High School (Shrewsbury, Massachusetts)
That's where Project Lead the Way comes in.
Lead the Way is a nationwide nonprofit that provides rigorous curricula in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to more than 4,200 schools in 50 states. The program was established in 1997 to address the shortage of domestic engineers.
According to according to
1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians.
2. In keeping with: according to instructions.
3. its website, Lead the Way is a "hands-on, project-based program (that) engages students on multiple levels, exposes them to areas of study they do not typically pursue, and provides them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success."
"For awhile, Shrewsbury High School was offering a lot of industrial tech classes and we were looking for a way to increase the rigor rigor /rig·or/ (rig´er) [L.] chill; rigidity.
rigor mor´tis the stiffening of a dead body accompanying depletion of adenosine triphosphate in the muscle fibers. of our elective courses and offer children a way to explore the field of engineering," said David Hruskoci, the school's director of Science and Technology.
According to Principal Todd Bazydlo, the dwindling number of engineers in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. played a role in the decision to focus on engineering. The U.S. graduates 70,000 engineers each year compared to 350,000 from India and 600,000 from China - statistics that have been called into question by a 2005 study by Duke University.
"It's not a Sputnik Sputnik: see satellite, artificial; space exploration.
Any of a series of Earth-orbiting spacecraft whose launching by the Soviet Union inaugurated the space age. moment but it's something like that," said Principal Bazydlo. "(The program) is trying to foster a love of engineering prior to kids going off to college."
Once it was decided to add an engineering program the question was how.
"The essential question was: should we try to grow our own home-grown, organic program writing our own curriculum, or should we look at a prepackaged engineering curriculum that's done well?" said Bazydlo. "One that covers the concepts that we need and brings stability to the subject area, yet won't require the time energy and effort to actually write a curriculum, which could take from one to three years."
After visiting other area high schools, which verified the exorbitant cost of writing and maintaining home-grown curriculum, Shrewsbury High officials settled on commissioning an outside engineering curriculum. That's when they heard about Project Lead the Way and fortunately, the Massachusetts affiliate for the program was about 10 minutes away at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
The initial investment, made during the 2008-2009 school year, was estimated at $60,000 and included various hardware and software licenses In computing, software that is copyrighted and licensed under a software license is done under a variety of licensing schemes. For end-users there are proprietary licenses and there are free software licenses, and there are proprietary Within these schemes are further classifications. . Hruskoci estimates that the school spends between $5,000 and $10,000 per year on the program - maintaining software licenses and various tools for the courses.
Project Lead the Way holds mandatory workshops for high school teachers who are going to teach the curriculum. This policy is to ensure that the program will be taught the way the designers intended. Principal Bazydlo saw this as another good feature about Lead the Way.

, a science and engineering teacher who attended the workshops and now teaches the curriculum, likes the program for its rigor.
"It really reads like my college transcript from Northeastern," he said.
Shrewsbury High School is currently one of 26 schools in the state that use Lead the Way and many of those are technical or vocational schools. Other participating public schools in Central Massachusetts include Leominster and Hudson high schools.
In August, Project Lead the Way became one of six science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs officially endorsed by the state of Massachusetts. The endorsement was made by the Governor's STEM Advisory Council as part of the Massacusetts Statewide STEM Education, Jobs and Workforce Initiative.
"It basically means we got the good housekeeping Good Housekeeping is a women's magazine owned by the Hearst Corporation, featuring articles about women's interests, product testing by The Good Housekeeping Institute, recipes, diet, health as well as literary articles. seal of approval from the state of Massachusetts," said Terry Adams, WPI's K-12 Outreach Program Manager for Project Lead the Way. "(It means) it's a great STEM curriculum that they would like to see implemented by more schools in Massachusetts.
Shrewsbury High School, entering its fourth year using the project, currently offers three courses from Lead the Way's Pathway to Engineering curriculum, which is meant to help students "learn the design process, acquire strong teamwork and communication proficiency and develop organizational, critical thinking and problem solving problem solving
Process involved in finding a solution to a problem. Many animals routinely solve problems of locomotion, food finding, and shelter through trial and error. skills."
The three courses include Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Economics and Digital Electronics. First-year students are eligible to take the introductory course, while enrollment in the upper level principles of economics and digital electronics is contingent upon teacher recommendation based on a student's prior math and science performance.
"That's only to ensure that when they take the course they'll be successful and they won't be over their heads in the content," said Hruskoci. He was quick to point out that these Lead the Way courses are not like the industrial arts classes they are replacing.
"Most people that are older remember in high school having the woodshop, the metal shop and the auto shop and only a certain population of students that would take those courses. So now when we talk about technology education and engineering, it's important to note that there's some real rigor to these courses and you have to come into them with some prerequisite knowledge to be successful."
Still, on average only 40 students per year choose one of the Lead the Way courses and, due to lack of student demand, there is no digital electronics course this year. The course is still offered as an elective but requires enough student enrollment to fill a class. Hruskoci estimates that a small number of students have completed all three of the offered Lead the Way courses.
"We feel that all electives are equally important," he said. "A student may take an engineering class this year but then the next year they might take art or music. There are only a small handful of students that are drawn to that field and would take multiple engineering courses."
Adding another Lead the Way course to the school curriculum may help increase enrollment as schools that offer at least four courses are eligible for certification, which would allow students who complete the program to receive college credit at a variety of participating universities, including WPI WPI - Worcester Polytechnic Institute . The credit would be similar to what students get for completing AP courses. "Because we don't offer that fourth course, we're not at a point yet where they could get college credit for the work they do in these classes," said Hruskoci. "It would be excellent if we were able to advance this. I think we're biting at the bit to do that."
As for what's stopping the expansion of Shrewsbury High School's Lead the Way program, it comes down to a limitation that all public schools face: a lack of resources.
"It's a balance between offering a really rich curriculum on the other end," said Bazydlo. "It just can't be engineering; there are other sciences and electives that interest upperclassmen. Every school wants more resources, particularly with the teaching staff."
"Could we expand it? We probably could. But we just don't have the manpower or the resources to hire (teachers) to do it."

I have a web application that needs to open Excel files embedded into the web page. However, Internet Explorer (9 in this case, but the same goes for 8) only gives me the option to save or open the file and when I choose open, the file is opened within a new Excel window.
As far as I understand, opening files within IE should be the default behaviour, but for some reason that seems to have been altered in my installation and I can't seem to find a way to fix that. I'm running Windows 7, so there's no File Types tab under Folder Options in Windows Explorer.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I can change the file association but this will open all excel files in IE and I only want ones that are embedded in the web page to open in the browser.

Fresh off the heels of her car crash report (did anyone really want her autograph?) Dana Delaney, star of Body of Proof describes an unfortunate Botox experience. She says that her treatment done by her dermatologist caused a problem . Her photo above shows a pretty well botoxed forehead- definitely smoother than her age would seem to dictate.
She states the needle hit a nerve causing a hematoma and that her right eye muscle was affected and is starting to droop. Medically, this makes no sense. An injury to a nerve does not cause a hematoma- blood comes from blood vessels, not nerves. Also, there are no nerves in the face that cause a droopy eyelid- these nerves are behind the eye. Botox itself can affect the eye muscle, but these effects are temporary, lasting weeks to months if the botox travels to the improper location.
It's pretty obvious that this 'news story' is a PR ploy, just like her car accident report. Does anyone really care about Dana Delaney's Botox, or even Dana Delaney for that matter?

This has a pleasant scent and it comes in a nice glass bottle with a dropper. It leaves my hair feeling very soft and shiny, but does little for some of the pesky flyaways at the nape of my neck and top of my head. I apply a little bit more, like four or five drops, to my hair. I do rub a little between my hands to warm it up before applying. My hair does feel hydrated and I like that you can use this as a pre-shampoo treatment or add this to your regular conditioners or deep conditioning treatments. The only con is the price. I bought mine at a local beauty supply store for $44. I have the one for medium textured hair. I have been really liking it and glad it doesn't weigh down my hair or make it feel greasy.
I used the Intense version of this product as it is suited to my hair type (medium to coarse mechanically/chemically distressed). And I really wanted to love it but I just couldn't get it to work for me. It seemed to leave my hair greasy and limp even when I used the teensiest amount. This product is very concentrated and a little goes a long way, but that's what makes it not-so-user-friendly. I wish that Redken made a Diamond Oil styling cream or a leave-in spray or something along those lines, because I bet it would be amazing.
Wouldn't buy this again- wasn't for me.
I found this product to be pretty oily on my hair. I have fine hair and even though I used three drops of this oil it made my hair quite oily that I have washed it out numerous times. I tend to now use it an an intensive oil treatment where I rub plenty into my scalp and hair and then wash out the next day. I find this makes my hair silky and soft once washed out the next day.
I was recommended this at the salon, but mind you that I do not have the thickest hair. This made my hair soooooo staticky!!! I can't explain what happened, but I would put it in and dry it/straighten and it was like putting a turtleneck on in the winter. I'd put more on and it would still be staticky, but I'd look greasy. The smell was too overpowering as well.
Updated review...I've been using for about two weeks and recommend giving it time to work. The first few days I thought it did nothing but now I notice the softness of my hair even with almost daily heat styling. If you have thick hair you probably need 5-6 drops versus the recommended 2-3. I would buy again as there's a noticeable difference in the feel of my hair :)
It is an amazing product if you have dry hair. But.... I keep having the same issue: over-applying makes my hair REALLY oily. That is the only reason i am not up to spending so much money on getting an other bottle. Althought the packaging and the perfume is divine I can't find a way to apply the right amount to my hair.

I use the intense version after every hair wash and have never had a problem with over applying. I did take it on a business trip and spilled a bit in my suitcase which somehow resulted in the metal cover on the lid compleat coming off the top. Now I have a pretty bottle with the orIginal white plastic screw top and metal dropper button. Still a great product though.

Man this stuff is good. Wasn't expecting miracles, I mean it's just a hair oil ... then enter the miracle. I had been searching for a silicone free hair oil, not that I'm against silicones, but they only give the illusion that your hair is healthy. Silicones just coat your hair, and yes they make your hair feel amazing, but it builds up over time and like I said, it's just making it FEEL better, not actually BE better or healthier. Okay, rant over. Unless you have very thick or wavy/curly hair, or extremely damaged hair, don't get the intense version because it's very intense stuff indeed ! I got the intense version and it's perfect for me, but barely and I have very thick, wavy, colored hair. Smells amazing, too. My favorite thing about this is that it can be used as a treatment overnight, or mixed in with your favorite conditioner, or you can use it alone as you choose. It really conditions your hair and strengthens it, preventing breakage greatly. Hair oils like moroccanoil are great, however they aren't actually making your hair healthier, they are just coating it. The nourishing ingredients can't really penetrate the hair because of all the silicones that are stuck to the hair shaft. This stuff is the real deal, excellent hair oil. Simply the best.

this stuff is amazing! it makes my dry-from-highlighting hair feel soft and smooth. i have found for me the best way to use this is after I've flat ironed, blow dried or curled my hair to use about 4 drops (literally drops. this stuff goes a lonnnnng way) and focus it mainly at my ends. and whatever is leftover on my hands after that, I used to lightly smooth down any fly aways around my part. it smells great and doesn't feel heavy or greasy at all. usually this product has a fairly high price (my salon sells it for $40.00) but since I am a licensed cosmetologist, i can purchase it in professionals-only stores for $15.00 which is a fantastic deal considering how little you need of this to make a HUGE difference. my hair doesn't feel complete until I've put this on!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased this at ULTA using a 20% off coupon which lessens the sting of the purchase price. ($40) However, it's a large glass bottle and you're supposed to use it sparingly. 2-3 drops at a time. I've only used it as an after blowdry treatment and it's amazing! I personally like the scent better than Moroccan oil. It can be used in a bunch of different ways, even as a moisturizing skin treatment. Definitely a must-have for any woman who needs to de-frizz their look.

Rio Tinto Tightens Grip On Ivanhoe Mines
TORONTO (AP) â¿¿ Rio Tinto tightened its grip on Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. as part of a $3.3 billion financing deal Wednesday that will see chief executive and founder Robert Friedland step away from the company.
Rio Tinto, which owns a 51 per cent stake in Ivanhoe, will nominate 11 of a new 13-member board for the company, which is building the massive Oyu Tolgoi mine in Mongolia.
"Today's agreement provides future financial certainty for Ivanhoe and stability for the timely development of Oyu Tolgoi," Rio Tinto Copper CEO Andrew Harding said.
"We will also undertake a strategic review of Ivanhoe's assets with a view to maximizing value for all Ivanhoe shareholders. Working with our partners in Mongolia, we are dedicated to meeting our target of starting commercial production from Oyu Tolgoi in the first half of 2013 and bringing the benefits of the mine to the people of Mongolia," Harding said.Ivanhoe shares were up $1.36, or about 12 percent, at $12.99 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company has said that Oyu Tolgoi was about 73 per cent complete at the end of February. The project is expected to produce 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 650,000 ounces of gold per year in the first decade of operation. Under the financing agreement, Rio Tinto provides a standby commitment for a $1.8 billion rights offering by Ivanhoe and $1.5 billion in bridge financing to Ivanhoe. The funding is in addition to $1.8 billion in interim funding that was agreed in December 2010. Six of Rio Tinto's 11 nominees to the board will be independent directors. Friedland will nominate two directors, one of whom will be independent. In addition to Friedland, Ivanhoe's chief financial officer and several other senior executives have also stepped down. Kay Priestly, an Ivanhoe director and chief financial officer of Rio Tinto Copper, has been appointed interim CEO, while Catherine Barone, vice-president, finance of Ivanhoe, has been appointed interim CFO.

Talk Title: Open Source Strategies for Driving the IoT - Click here to see the abstract
In the last five years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly progressed from mere talking points to active build-out. To date, however, most IoT activity has focused upon end-point development using proprietary software and open standards communications protocols. This legacy notwithstanding, the emerging IoT ecosystem is now looking to community-based development and deployment models that parallel the success of open source software (OSS) and that build on and seek to extend OSS code and the communities that sustain it. This paper/presentation will examine the current role of OSS in the IoT build-out and how OSS can shape the coming Internet of Things. In particular, it will provide insight into the make-up and dynamics of existing OSS communities and requirements for launching and nurturing new ones to support the end-to-end IoT paradigm. It will examine approaches to addressing unmet IoT needs with open source and strategies for monetizing resulting IoT technology. It will relate lessons learned from using open source in the build-out of comparable ecosystems in network infrastructure and mobile telephony. Finally, it will explore strategies for creating differentiated value with OSS across the IoT ecosystem of silicon suppliers, equipment manufacturers, network operators, cloud service providers, application developers and end-users.
Markus Weinberger, Director of Bosh IoT Lab
|Markus Weinberger is the Director of the Bosch Internet of Things & Services Lab at the University of St. Gallen currently pursuing projects related to smart home and connected mobility.
His personal focus is on business models for the Internet of Things.
He had the opportunity to talk about IoT business models at numerous occasions, such as a workshop at the International Telecommunications Union or an IoT event held by the British Government Office of Science.
Talk title: Business Ecosystems for the IoT - Click here to see the abstract
The Internet of Things offers great possibilities. Many specific applications are already emerging. But, to leverage the full potential of the IoT these silo-like applications need to be inter-connected. Interoperability is a mandatory technical requirement. At the same time it is necessary to motivate many different stakeholders to take part in such an IoT ecosystem. Motivating means to enable the stakeholders to establish viable business models. Thus, understanding the concepts of Business Ecosystems and Business Models as well as tools for Business Model Innovation are key to leveraging the IoTć's opportunities.

102 Safety Management Systems for Airports � Aviation industry associations � State and local government � Other airports � Labor unions � Local schools and colleges � Institutes � Other units of the airport organization � Media Do not rely on getting media coverage to promote your campaign because this cannot be guaranteed. 6.3 Cascading Meetings "Cascading meetings" is a technique that allows for a more dynamic communication environ- ment that will inform employees and increase engagement by providing a clearer line of sight between their day-to-day efforts and safety issues being discussed at the airport. With cascading meetings, communications are passed down through the hierarchy in a consistent manner, and all employees have a chance to be heard as they discuss the operations and changes taking place. The objective of cascading meetings is to improve communication within the airport organ- ization. It should be a two-way process, with feedback from lower levels going all the way to the top. Discussion topics may include any safety-related subject, for example: � The airport's vision, mission, values, and principles � SMS processes � Continuous improvement actions � SOP � Safety objectives and performance indicators � Specific safety issues and lessons learned � Safety promotion Cascading involves each manager sitting down with his/her immediate team for a series of meetings. These meetings should enable everyone at the airport to understand and become aware of the discussion topic. Suppose the airport needs to discuss its vision and values to strengthen its safety culture. The basic concept is to cascade level by level throughout all departments until every staff member understands and is committed to the ideology of the airport. In this case, the effort is normally annual or periodic extending over a number of years. Leading a Cascading Meeting The managers should lead the meetings with their teams. Using a facilitator may not be effective. In the example previously described, it is important for team members to hear about the airport's ideology from their direct leaders, who should be committed to the airport's policies and goals. When using an outside facilitator to lead The leader's purpose in these meetings is to cascading meetings, make sure you have promote discussion among team members. The a skilled person that is trusted by the leader should stay out of the discussion as much as employees. possible after the initial explanation. Talk only as necessary to keep the team members talking.

SMS Operation 103 The leader should not give the impression that the airport's vision, values, and principles are being rammed down employees' throats. Commitment will come only after employees have vol- untarily accepted those principles following open and frank discussions. Each meeting leader should explain, give examples, and discuss what the airport's ideology means to him/her; how- ever, the leader should not engage in a long tirade about the ideology should be adopted. The Cascading Process Cascading is a top-down, bottom-up discussion process that progresses through the organi- zation one level at a time. The first series of discussions is between top managers and their next level of managers. As shown schematically in Figure 13, the Executive Director meets with the heads of departments, then additional meetings are held between each department head and the head of each section within the specific department, and so on. At the end of each series of discussions, the safety issues in the airport are passed down to the next level for discussion. Proposed changes and Cascading meetings are most effective for unanswered questions will go up until they are organizations like large hubs. Smaller airports resolved or answered. Attendees at one series of will benefit little from this technique; how- discussions will become leaders of the next series. ever, they should still hold meetings to discuss The actual number and length of the meetings their safety issues. should be determined by the local organizational structure and situation. Cascade meetings may be used within a specific department or section of the airport. For example, when discussing safety objectives of the operations department, discussion will take place among staff within the operations department. Rationale and Pitfalls Most airports have a range of communication processes in place for cascading information via meetings, email, newsletters, intranet, message boards, and so forth. But the emphasis needs to be on two-way communication. It is assumed that corporate messages are received, under- stood, and supported, but all too often, the true message gets lost in transit. Not everyone finds time to read the newsletters and emails.

Q. All of my plants in the garden are doing well, except for yellow squash and zucchini. Instead of being prolific producers, as they have been in the past, they are slow growing and the initial fruits are growing only about an inch or so before they are just withering on the vine. I had some trouble last year with the zucchini that I chalked up to lack of pollination, but my squash have never had problems. Any advice?
The flowers on these plants are not being pollinated, and you can blame that on the continuing lack of honeybees in the U.S. You will have to do the work of the bees, but it is not difficult.
Look at your plants, including the zucchini, and you should see two similar, but different kinds of flowers. These are the male and female flowers. The female flower will have a tiny squash at the base of the flower.
With a cotton swab, lift the pollen from stamens on a male flower and touch this to the tip of the pistil in the female flower. This is pollination, also known as sex in the garden. Other crops, including melons and cucumbers, which have separate male and female flowers, may also require this treatment.
It is possible that your first crop of flowers were all male flowers, and there were no female flowers yet. By this time, however, that is unlikely and the problem is probably due to the lack of bees to pollinate the flowers. The recent heat wave could also have made the pollen ineffective, as it did on some tomato plants.
Look to mid-July for plums
Q. We have a plum tree that is full of plums. They are a little larger than a cherry. How long will it be before the fruit is ready to eat?
You should probably have plums about mid-July, perhaps a bit earlier or later depending on the type of plum you are growing. It is important to observe the developing color and remember that the fruits continue to mature and develop their best taste after they begin to show the distinctive red or purple color.
Give one a taste test to make sure they are ripe and ready to pick and eat. All these plums will not ripen at once. Good rainfall over the next month will help develop high-quality fruits. Here's hoping.

"Poor quality product, much sourced from China and poorly made. I tried a retail store and they wanted to see identification for a credit card transaction of 12 dollars in violation of merchant agreement. Card is signed and valid, my bank says asking for ID improper. They also want a telephone number for a retail sale, I don't provide those.
I returned all the items after she put the transaction through with a made up phone number.
They also sell inhumane glue traps.

"Once again I've had a good experience with Northern Tool. I bought a defective air stapler which they promptly replaced and paid for shipping the original tool back to them."
"We've ordered from Norhtern Tool several times and have always been pleased. "
"Expect strong resistance at the retail stores on returns and exchanges.
Expect to encounter resistance and unpublished special terms and conditions with their "low price guarantee. (See catalog order section)"
"i returned my purchase and they never provided me with credit. they refuse to send me back my stuff. they stole from me.
you can reach vice president of customer service direct at 612-859-4987."
"Product arrived with broken plastics. Called manufacturer, no response. Called Northern Tools,...they said will call me... already passed 3 weeks and nothing. I wish I could write a review about the product, but I couldn't use it yet. I can only review the bad service from Northern Tools and Campbell.
This is the second time I have problems buying tools from this website. Now I learnt...I will never buy again."
"Absolutely irresponsible company. Placed an order month and half ago when item was in stock. Still have not received my order as it is backordered now. ETA - November."
"This place is ridiculous, ordered a seeder on 7-9-10, took them till the 14th to send an email saying they where shipping it with a tracking number. I kept checking the tracking and UPS only showed billing info received and no product received. Called them the 17th they called UPS and said that they done something wrong in the warehouse, I told the lady to cancel it, she said she would. From looking at the reviews here I bet they send it anyway and I will refuse it, probably never get my money out the douchebags..."
"This was my first experience with Northern Tool and it was a good one. I can honestly say that this is the absolute best tech support I have ever received. "
"Charged my credit card, but never shipped my order. They cancelled it without ever notifying me. A horrible company to do business with. "
"Despite the extremely slow and laggy website, I still decided to order a flashlight and some safety glasses from Northern Tools due to the low prices. I now regret making this order. Why? Because not only because the site was extremely slow, they were also extremely slow to ship my order. It should not take THREE WEEKS to ship an item through UPS. Also, one of the items was canceled but I have yet to receive a refund. "
"Cancelled my order and still have not seen a refund of my money back. Do not do business with this company."
"Firstly they advertise their goods then when someone place an order, they cancelled it. Seems like they oversold stuff or dont have it in stock at all.
"We purchased this Buyers salt spreader on Oct 26 2007.
It was shipped on Oct 30 2007 we received it on about Nov 3
We requested a defective part replacement on Oct 29 2008 under the 1 year warranty. After first agreeing that it was still under warranty they refused to replace the part saying that the warranty ran out 365 days after the order was placed--never mind when it was received or it was shipped. They did offer to sell us the part at about $50 more that it is available elsewhere and give us free shipping. Very poor business practices !!
Thankfully the manufacturer was much more helpful and replaced the part at no charge. It also became apparent that we were charged about $200 more by Northern for this product than it was sold elsewhere.
Northern Tool---Overpriced---Poor customer service--Bad business to deal with.--We have told them to stoop with their catalog and emails. "
"Everything fine, as advertised, on each of two separate orders during 12/07."

Remind me again which Android phone had such a terrible design that the company was required to give away 'bumpers' to everyone who bought one?
The iPhone 4 has signal attenuation like every cell phone, radio, television antenna on the planet when you connect the two poles of the antenna, even with a bumper.
As long as radio signals are in use, there will be this phenomena, even on those phones with internal antenna.
If that's the reason you didn't buy one, or got an Android, you are just as ignorant as those that picked up the free bumper to "fix" it.

Don't consider mediocre podcast apps like Podcast Republic or Podbay, this one has it all. Includes video functionality, RSS feeds, itunes support, downloading, streaming, subscribing,and a wealth of management features. After weeks of testing many podcast apps, this one is the only one that has every feature I've needed.
(58 stars)
The sharing feature needs to be improved. For instance if I wish to share a podcast episode on Facebook, there's no description, thumbnail on the post. I can add the description manually, but it puts people off in checking the podcast when all they see is just a Web address.
