Bangalore aim to keep winning momentum at Mohali
Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Friday, April 20th 8 pm
Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on the Kings XI Punjab side at the PCA Stadium in Mohali.
The Royal Challengers are on a high after an incredible victory with a six off the last ball by Saurabh Tiwary against the Pune Warriors. KXIP lost their last match against KKR by a huge 8 wicket margin and lost their talismanic captain Adam Gilchrist to a hamstring injury.
Gilchrist had scored a ton and added 206 runs for the second wicket with Shaun Marsh while Chris Gayle played out a maiden over before being dismissed for a duck the last time the two teams met in Dharamsala, adding to the reason why RCB will be happy to take on a side sans Gilchrist.
To add to that, Gayle found touch at a crucial time in Bangalore, slamming 5 consecutive sixes off Rahul Sharma in an over and looking good to repeat the dose. He overtook Adam Gilchrist with the highest number of sixes in all IPL editions, hitting 85 in just 32 innings compared to Gilchrist's 84 in 65 innings.
He would like to seek out Piyush Chawla though Chawla is a far more experienced leg spinner than Sharma and could be a legitimate threat to the RCB line up along with Bhargav Bhatt.
Tillakaratne Dilshan is likely to retain his place though the team will want to reconsider the batting order from the previous game. Mayank Agarwal and Tiwary ahead of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers respectively has the responsibility spread more evenly but could lead them to losing wickets in quick succession at crucial points.
The bowlers did a good job pulling back the Warriors batsmen in the second half but will want to keep a tight check on the runs they give away in the beginning, considering Paul Valthaty and Marsh could easily go on a rampage.
Vinay got wickets but was expensive; Zaheer Khan, Harshal and Vettori kept the runs down but hardly have wickets to show for them. The fifth bowler problem continues, KP Appanna had Uthappa caught behind in his very first over but conceded 23 in his two overs after that appeal was put down while Dilshan gave away 24 in his two.
Kings XI are likely to debut the very useful Azhar Mahmood, he can be economical as well as a strike bowlers, with Dimitri Mascarenhas, Praveen Kumar and Harmeet Singh Bansal, KXIP can easily choke the runs while the spinners Bhargav Bhatt and Chawla run rings around the batsmen.
David Hussey is another threat in the middle order and most likely to lead KXIP in the game. How he makes use of his resources in his one game at the helm remains to be seen. How Daniel Vettori uses these various advantages to keep RCB's winning momentum going will be bigger point of interest here.

Global warming one big hoax?
View Single Post
July 25th, 2007, 13:49
I believe some pepole believe in science like some other pepole believe in religion. If you say something, and has a "scientist" vertify it, you can make "normal" pepole believe anything (potatoes cause cancer! CO2 cause global warming!). "Normal" pepole doesn't have enought energy to keep up on universitylevel, so they don't know which theories are true, and which are false. Yet they believe in science.
So that claiming that zakhal is all wrong just because science on the top level is pretty accurate (most of the time) isn't looking at the whole picture. Because science isn't only practised on universitylevel.
For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

I am planning on getting a K9 or a P9. What I have found out about reading
- heavier
- non-elite trigger (purchase separate as option)
+ less reliability problems
+ lighter
+ elite-trigger out of the box
- reliability issues. e.g., metal mag w/ plastic mag release
I plan on using this for 2 purposes, (1) for when I give basic pistol instruction for NRA (gotta love the Kahr discount) and (2) for smartcarry wear while working out at the gym.
With my purposes in mind, can you think of anything additional I have not mentioned or contradictory to what I have mentioned that would be helpful to me in making a purchase decision.

The Lightning Round Health Questions
Imagine you have the undivided attention of three of the country's foremost health experts. Ask away.
How much ibuprofen is too much?
GK: Believe it or not, side effects from long-term use of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or painkillers) are a leading cause of deaths and emergency-room visits in America. "Too much" is a vague thing; it depends on age, health, and your body's ability to detoxify the drugs. But consider this example: A man over 50 who takes NSAIDs regularly for three months will (on average) develop at least microscopic gastrointestinal ulcerations. Which is not what you want.

Interview with The Big Show and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
We chat with two wrestling legends about THQ's upcoming WWE: All Stars.
There are many perks with being a games journalist – you get to preview games, attend press days, travel, and go home with swag. But best of all, you get to interview some of the best talent in the industry, and I was lucky enough to chat with two wrestling legends – The Big Show and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat – about THQ's upcoming wrestling title, WWE: All Stars.
MEGamers: Can you talk to us about how you got involved in WWE:All Stars?
The Big Show: Well WWE has always had a long standing relationship with THQ, so my involvement with the game was mostly to do with motion capture and of course being forced to watch hundreds of my matches to observe how I behave in the ring. THQ goes out of their way to get involved with the superstars and get our feedback on what we think of our characters, the moves, and the way the game plays. What I really like about this game is that it's very easy to pick up but challenging at the same time.
Ricky Steamboat: I'm not sure exactly how THQ picks who goes into their games, but there are a lot of guys who have done a lot of the company and for the wrestling business. I just feel really happy that I was one of the ones chosen to feature in the game, and to be that character in the game.
You mentioned that motion capture was carried out for this installment – do you think the game is an accurate representation of your moves and personality?
TBS: The game is kind of representative, but it's also fantasy and fun. There's no way that I'm going to throw someone against the ropes, catch then with one hand, and then powerbomb them – as much as I'd want to!
The game has wrestlers pulling off some over the tops moves, so it's not your typical wresting game. How do you think wrestling fans and gamers will react to this?
TBS: Here's the thing – I enjoy the game more because of the fantasy-type moves and the overall look of the game. This is a game for pure fun, where younger gamers can join in and have fun, and where adults who might not be as game-savvy can also have a lot of fun in the ring. I just want a game that I can pick up and enjoy, and this is one such game.
RS: I know with All Stars that THQ said they would take it to extreme levels, but besides that I am in awe of how they make these characters move so fluidly in the ring. The way that they've taken these characters and capitalized on each of their strengths, it makes for a truly amazing gaming experience.
If you were playing WWE: All Stars, which wrestler would you pick and who would you go up against?
TBS: Oh I'd be The Big Show without a doubt, because that's who I know! He's got a good defense and makes a good impact, so he'd be my choice hands down.
RS: I would love to play as myself and go up against Sean Micheals – I think that would tear up the house!
How do you think this game stacks up against other wrestling game so far?
TBS: I think it's a different genre in itself – the other wrestling games have more realism and role-playing to them with a storyline etc. This is just sitting back on a couch and relaxing with some fun wrestling moves, so as it stands the game is very different from what's currently out there.

(KSTP) - Road closures, vibration, dust and noise are expected due to the demolition of the Metrodome's final ring beam set for Sunday at 7:30 a.m.
The concrete ring beam will come down with use of controlled explosive charges. Structural and demolition experts revised the original demolition plan after a section of the ring beam collapsed on Monday out of sequence. The team determined that explosives were the safest way to demolish the last portion of the beam.
Neighbors will experience vibration, dust, and noise during and after the explosion, but experts said debris is expected to fall within the safety zone.
The public will have no access to the area 250 feet from the Metrodome.
As part of the safety perimeter, 11th Avenue, 4th, 5th, 6th Streets and Chicago Avenue will be closed beginning at 5:30 a.m. Sunday and remain closed until the "all clear." Officials said the roads are expected to be reopened by at least 9 a.m. The Downtown East Light Rail station will also close.

And just to add to that a little bit of (maybe friendly) advice to Ralf

Ralf, this is a chance to grow as a human. Have your convictions
challenged and learn about nature and yourself. Since you are
emotionally invested into knowing you're right, this is potentially
especially valuable. Since people who are emotionally invested in their
convictions often take a little time to adjust to having an essential
part of their world view shattered (I personally know some people who
went from being religious to being open about what we can really learn
about nature - so I have a a little bit of experience with this), do the
double blind test in the privacy of your home. I learned about the ABX
plugin from this thread. What a great opportunity :D Do not report back
to us, what you found. Let it sink, repeat the test a few times with
different material, different encodings, etc., and find out what
difference you can REALLY hear.
Have fun,

In the few waking moments when we're not talking about the draft in April, mind paralyzing boredom can creep in and infect the inner channels of the conscious mind.
This is why you'll notice an abrupt cliff dive in NFL chatter by about the second week of May. That doesn't happen solely because there's absolutely nothing to talk about. It happens because NFL writers scatter to sunny locations, where a man who's fully satisfied with several American dollars delivers drinks with tiny umbrellas.
That lengthy and unnecessary preamble is also why the rest of this post will be short(ish). You see, there are times when NFL players underestimate the football viewing public's unquenchable thirst for a quote to rotate on a spit for several days. It's this lust that actually prompted us to care about Donovan McNabb's opinion of Robert Griffin III last week, and it's what has allowed Skip Bayless to exist.
We're flirting with that troll trap here, but the sheer oddness and uber confidence of Joe Flacco still makes his remarks to WNST in Baltimore notable.
First, here's the goods, which came when Flacco was asked if he's a top five quarterback. Let it burn slowly.
From Sports Radio Interviews:
"Without a doubt. What do you expect me to say? … I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback. I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way. I mean, c'mon? That's not really too tough of a question. But that doesn't mean that things are gonna work out that way. It just means that that's the way it is, that's the way I feel it is, and that's the way I feel it should be."
Confidence is a required weapon for NFL quarterbacks. But so is a dash of humility. Over the past year Eli Manning showed the ability to do both when he said he was elite last August, then went on to prove he is indeed elite, but he did it while still being the same humble, quiet Eli.
There's nothing about Flacco that says he's the best, or even close. He's above average on a good Sunday, even after he was a Billy Cundiff shank away from beating the Patriots in the playoffs. Flacco's 6.7 yards per pass attempt ranked him 22nd in that category last year, which is in the prestigious company of Josh Freeman, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Tarvaris Jackson. His 57.6 completion percentage slotted him at 25th, behind Rex Grossman and Kevin Kolb, and only marginally ahead of Colt McCoy.
Flacco's contract was the subject of discussion for much of the interview which gave life to this little nugget of altered reality. He's due to make $6.76 million in 2012 during the final year of his contract, and early in March it was reported that the Ravens were clearing cap space for a blockbuster extension.
Hopefully the monetary value assigned to that new contract doesn't pay Flacco like he's among the league's elite.

RICHMOND, VA, February 26, 2013 — Early one bright, hot August morning, during the first week of second grade, my stepfather picked me up and tossed me out the front door. I hit the ground hard, instinctively protecting my face, breaking my fall with my hand.
As I struggled to catch my breath, I realized two things: I was hurt, and the kids on the school bus out in front of my house were watching me. All those eyes were aimed right at me.
I looked at my mother, standing slightly behind my stepfather. She just stared calmly, her arms crossed over her pregnant belly. She said nothing, did not move, acting as though nothing had happened.
"Mom?" I said, waiting for the comfort and dust-me-off that didn't come.
"Get up and go to school!" Steve barked. I got the message: This was all my fault. I had it coming. I should not have caused problems. "Get up!"
I staggered to my feet and made my way to the bus. As the bus door wheezed shut, I saw Marcy, a girl who lived up the street, standing in the aisle waiting for me. She was one of those junior-high girls a second grader dreams of becoming. Almost a teenager, she wore makeup, had a cool backpack, and didn't talk to me like I was a stupid little kid. Marcy led me into the empty seat beside her while I squinched my face tight, determined not to cry. To show weakness would have been like putting a target on my back. I was concentrating so fiercely on toughening it out that Marcy noticed before I did that my hand was bloody.
Thus begins Runaway Girl, a recently-released memoir by Carissa Phelps, survivor-turned-activist for homeless and runaway youth. Carissa is enormously passionate about helping others. From visiting youth detention facilities to mentoring adult survivors towards personal success, Carissa is a pivotal member of the movement to support homeless and runaway youth and to educate and advocate against child sex trafficking in America.
At 13 years old Carissa dropped out of school, believing she had only two options available to her: an early death or prison. Thanks to the persistence of a counselor and a math teacher in juvenile hall, Carissa changed her mind about what her future might hold. A decade later, she went on to earn a bachelor's degree summa cum laude in mathematics from California State University (CSU) Fresno. After teaching high school math for one year, Carissa went on to pursue her dream of becoming an advocate for the rights of others. In 2007, she earned a juris doctorate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law, as well as an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
In 2008, David Sauvage, an MBA classmate, narrated Carissa's amazing "juvy-to-justice" story in an award-winning 23-minute documentary entitled, Carissa. The film continues to inspire troubled youth and their advocates to look for the potential in themselves and others. Carissa's passion, seen both in the film and in real life, brings hope to survivors. What began as a platform to share one inspiring story has grown into a movement toward embracing an often invisible group in society — runaway and homeless youth.
In 2012, Carissa Phelps added chief executive officer (CEO) of Runaway Girl, FPC to her list of titles, which includes attorney, crisis counselor, mentor, and motivational speaker. Runaway Girl, FPC is a flexible purpose corporation based in California.
"Runaway Girl, FPC is a hybrid company," Carissa explained, "It is a for-profit with the charitable purpose of creating employment opportunities for runaways, former runaways, and survivors. We're partnering with local survivors to provide them with [opportunities to take] their experience, knowledge, and networks and put them to the best use in their communit[ies]…
"We have come to a point in the survivor movement when we need each other more than ever," Carissa said, encouraging other survivors to join Runaway Girl, FPC, "We need to support one another in order to take hold of this awesome opportunity in front of us to capture the hearts, minds, and spirits of often burnt out, frustrated, and overworked systems. We're here to make systems run more efficiently by equipping community members with the tools necessary to make an impact, not just in the life of one, but in the lives of many."
Runaway Girl, FPC offers two workshops:
CPR: Community Protocol for Response (1-day workshop)
The 1-day CPR workshop is designed for all members of a community. This training covers the basics (or A-B-Cs) of commercial sexual exploitation of children: Awareness, Belief, and Capacity.
EMT: Empowerment Model Training (2-day workshop)
The 2-day training goes a step further and is intended for anyone in regular contact with youth who are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation.
"Both the 1-day CPR and the 2-day EMT [trainings] are offered exclusively by Runaway Girl, FPC trainers," Carissa stated, "The trainings are interactive; engaging; and, most importantly, will lead to community action. Runaway Girl, FPC works with local and regional trainers to bring the most relevant information to every community, and [to] connect survivors who are actively working in the movement with networks that will strengthen, support, and improve their local work."
To learn more or to schedule a training, please visit www.RunawayGirlTraining.com or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Carissa's journey includes letting go of a history of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and trauma. By sharing her own story of healing and reconciliation, she inspires others to do the same. I continue to be inspired by Carissa Phelps, a mentor and personal friend. If you are an advocate, parent, teacher, or caring professional for troubled youth, I encourage you to share her story with those kids in your lives.

In fact, iOS combined (iPad and iPhone) accounted for a whopping 77% of all activations tracked by security and mobile collaboration provider Good Technology which counts half of the Fortune 100 companies as among its customers.
Overall, Android activations dropped 6.3% compared to Q4 2011, but still accounted for 22.7% of all activations for the quarter – primarily driven by Android tablets. Windows Phone devices came in a distant third for the quarter, capturing just half a percent of overall activations.
"CIOs today are able to realize increased productivity by supporting a diverse set of mobile products, while retaining security and control, and still provide their employee consumers with product choice," said Christy Wyatt, CEO and President of Good Technology. "We continue to see more enterprise customers extending the accessibility of mobile applications to a broader employee population within their organizations."
Other findings of note in Good's report:
- iOS platform activations rose 8.5% year-over-year, up from 71% in Q4 of 2011 to 77% in Q4 2012.
- The iPhone 5 was the most popular device in Q4 of 2012, representing 32% of all activations for the quarter.
- Although the iPad continues to lead tablet activations with 93.2 percent, Android tablets are gaining momentum. Android jumped from 2.7% to 6.8% of all tablet activations over the course of 2012.
- The most popular Android tablets among Good's enterprise customers included the Samsung Galaxy Tab, followed by the Motorola Droid Xyboard, Samsung Galaxy Note, Asus Transformer, Kindle Fire and Motorola Xoom.
- The financial services industry led enterprise device activations during the quarter, followed by business and professional services. Together, these two industries made up more than half of the activations reported in Q4.
Good's report also showed that wholesale & retail, manufacturing and energy & utilities all moved up in the rankings for overall activations by sector, as well as iPad activations over last year.

Larry Allen | October 22, 2012 | Comments
Don't lose sight of the power of the conversation.
Who needs a sales person anymore? They are expensive, need attention, and are nearly impossible to manage. In this era of automation, publishers can simply list their inventory on the exchange and the buyers will come. Real-time bidding (RTB) is a virtual "Field of Dreams"!
Well, this couldn't be further from the truth. Sellers, especially the good ones, are always the loudest, most difficult people because they are on the frontlines every day listening to their clients and trying to create solutions that meet client needs. They also play a more critical role than ever because clients are confused and they need a partner they can trust and rely on to help them cross the chasm from old to new (and that happens every six months now). Who will sell the integrated sponsorship or the big creative unit or the webinar or the custom product placement deal? Certainly not the exchange.
The programmatic landscape is evolving rapidly and buyers are going so far as to put real-time bidding as a tactic on their request for proposal (RFP) requests to publishers. Real-time bidding isn't a tactic. It's simply a buying method. My point is that there is still a lot of education needed. And the best way to make that happen is to put a seller in front of a client.
Now the client mix is changing. We still have the marketer and the traditional media agency, but we also have the trading desks and demand-side platforms (DSPs). These folks need to be educated too. They have tremendous buying power and won't buy your inventory at scale without some special attention. The conversations are more technical in scope, but when they happen (if you have quality inventory) the money will start to flow. And if it works for the clients, it will scale.
There are many levers to manage when selling through programmatic channels - from data to transparency, placements to pricing. But don't lose sight of the power of the conversation. Schedule meetings with your top buyers and you will be amazed at the results.

All our scooters and custom build scooters are fully checked prior to dispatch to ensure that they are in full working condition with no faults.
Scootering is an extreme sport and the usage of these products means that they are often bashed, thrown and hit the ground regulary when being used. We at Sid's Surf Shack do our best to ensure that any problems are dealt with quickly and offer a 90 day warranty against manufacturers defects on any parts on the scooter from the day of purchase for the original owner only.
The warranty does not cover headset bearings, snapping, cracking, scracthes, chips or bending of any parts that are the result of normal use or if the product has been modified in any way, or faults or problems after the scooter has been de-assembled by any persons other than a Sid's Surf Shack member of staff.
If a warranty request is presented to us, you must provide us with the original product, with all parts supplied to us that came with the product, proof you are the original owner.
If there is a fault with a particular section of the scooter, i.e headset, bars, compression etc we are obliged to repair within the 90 day warranty period and this does not entitle customers to a full refund as the product will be in a used condition. But we will happily fix any problems for the customer so the particular issue presented is resolved.

Product Review (submitted on February 17, 2014):
Received my order several weeks ago. small amount of grains that were pretty much crushed mixed with powdered milk. Started reviving, almost lost them at one point as I was having a hard time recovering the grains from the spent milk with my strainer. Now several weeks later I am back to maybe a full teaspoon of grains. I am continuing to work with them and some have formed a small clump. So far just dumping the milk, not a good taste, not at all like the kefir I have made from non-grain starter.

It's appalling that our Canadian government is in lock-step with our U.S. counterparts, in slowly destroying all the freedoms and liberties that took many lives and many years to build.
Please spread the word about what is going on and shed some light on this, so we the people can take back our inalienable rights and freedoms, as protected under our Charter.
We are not Americans, and supposedly have our autonomy from the U.K., but really we are slowly seeing Canada is simply the lapdog of the U.K. and U.S., secretly agreeing to their war-mongering polices. And make no mistake, there is a war on the peoples of North America, against their rights, freedoms and liberties - all in the name of what? Battling a government-created "terror" crisis?
Canada and the U.S. have not thwarted one single "terror" event, and to see we've jumped on the bandwagon under lead from the U.S. to start spying on our own people.
This is not part of Canadian culture, and thus should be represented as such within the circles of government who make the secret decisions.
Appalling really. Canada is ashamed of this breach of confident and trust from the people. Learn more at OurPrivacy.ca.

There was no question of taking it easy. They were all too tightly bunched. It wasn't his style, anyway. He was damned if he was going to let this get away from him because he was too timid. Better to fall than not leave it all out on the hill.
Chris flew out of the starting gate. His body angulated at an impossible degree as he went around each gate, his hip just six inches above the snow, trusting the edge of his board and his strength to hold the line.
He moved with grace and with joy down the course, brushing as close to each gate as he dared, the material popping like firecrackers as he thwacked it going by. At the halfway point, his time was on pace for the gold. Just a few more gates, a few more ticks of the clock.
Then disaster struck. His arm caught one of the gates just enough to fling him up and spin him off his line. Oh, shit, he thought, but gathered himself and kept going.
Down at the bottom, Chris's entourage had just about exploded when the half split showed him winning. Their eyes went back to the huge television screen, trying to will him through the last few gates to his dream. Then they saw the mistake. It was only a small one, but they knew such things could cost him the race. And sure enough, when he got to the bottom, the scoreboard showed that he was in sixth place, and there he'd remain.
Missy began to cry, an image caught by the television cameras and broadcast around the world. Chris, too, was stunned. He'd been so close. Then he looked up. Fans from dozens of countries were going crazy in the stands, and there, in the middle of the crowd, was his brother, Jim, swirling a huge American flag back and forth. Oh, man, he thought when he realized what the fans were up to, they're doing the wave. He raised his arms above his head and smiled. "I just want to thank the Japanese people for this experience," he told the television cameras that had rushed to capture the moment. "This is great!"
Chris was disappointed with his finish, but it wasn't long before that laugh was ringing through the streets of Nagano as he enjoyed the rest of the event with the people he loved. The sting he couldn't get over, though, was when the International Olympic Committee announced that Rebagliati had tested positive for marijuana after the race and would lose his medal.
It was a slap in the face. After all they'd been doing to legitimize the sport as something other than a playground for pot-heads and part-time athletes, Rebagliati had literally pissed it all away. Eventually, the Olympic committee had to back down. Rebagliati said he must have accidentally inhaled some pot at a party he'd attended weeks before the Olympics; and no written rule said that marijuana was one of the drugs athletes would be tested for -- though such a rule was soon added.
But Chris knew what would happen. The jokes on the late-night talk shows, the commentaries in the newspapers. What did they expect when the IOC invited snowboarders to the Olympics?
There was only one thing left to do: He was going back to the Olympics in four years. To Utah and the hill at Park City, he told his family and his girlfriend, "this time to get my medal."
Descending in his truck from Soldier Summit Pass through the barren Uinta mountains between Price and Spanish Fork, Utah, Chris cruised through the twists and turns, rocking out to thrash-metal CDs. It was November 2, 1999, and he was on his way to Salt Lake City for physical testing with the U.S. snowboard team.
Chris hadn't let the disappointment of his Olympic finish set him back for long. He finished the season as the North American giant slalom champion at the races in Mt. Snow, Vermont. Then he'd gone back to Aspen, where he was named grand marshal for the annual Fourth of July parade, riding in an old convertible and wearing his U.S. Olympic team suit.
In the fall of 1998, he'd reported to training camp in Breckenridge, where, on his birthday, he'd torn up his knee in a freak accident. Chris was just wrapping up gymnastics training -- to improve his balance and strength -- when his right foot got caught between two mats and his knee had been suddenly, painfully, bent backward.
Missy and his parents had gone to pick him up. By the time they arrived, his knee was swollen to the size of a watermelon. He'd already called Dr. Tom Pevny, a young orthopedic surgeon in Aspen, because "he knows what I have to do on this knee." Pevny had assured him that he'd put him back together "good as new."
However, the damage was more severe than imagined. Chris had completely torn three of the four major ligaments that support the joint. A friend who watched some of the surgery came back out and reported that the way the doctors were talking, there was some doubt that Chris would ever be a world-class athlete again. He told Missy, "The only way I can think to describe it is a turkey bone after Thanksgiving...a bare bone. Nothing's attached."

Can anyone tell me if I HAVE to have a long distance provider to use calling cards from my home phone? I am so tired of paying AT&T every month for nothing. I can't even use them for a long distance call as they have me blocked. Can't even use a 10-10 #. I have been using a calling card sent by DD but wonder if I can drop my long distance provider and still use the calling cards. |

I don't. But once I was in a big hurry and just called long distance (forgot I hadn't chosen anLD carrier) and got a WHOPPING over- a dollar-a-minute charge for a long phone call. I use the walmart/costco/sams cards and they are around 5 cents a minute. I havent' had time to program the numbers into my phone yet (you put the card phone number and your pin number as two buttons on your fast dial.) |
- Posted by SadieSadie (My Page) on Sat, Sep 6, 03 at 16:10
We have been using the card one gets at Sam's Club for years and couldn't be happier. ALL U.S. calls, regardless of time placed, are 3.47 cents per minute. I live in Wisconsin and many calls are to my mother, also in Wis. Unlike other phone plans, they are the same 3.47 cents/min. I buy 1000 minutes at a time (charged to credit card, for $34.70). Very convenient, and A LOT cheaper than a phone plan. To answer your original question, you do NOT have to have a plan through a phone company, but heed mid_tn_mama's advice and don't just pick up the phone and dial without thinking. That gets expensive! |
Around here, I have no designated LD carrier and so if I try to do a 1+ dialing, I get a recording to enter a code #, which is great because if the computer tries to dial (as some spyware or viruses can do) or if someone tries to make an unauthorized call, they're caught. I use a dialaround service at 3.9˘/min. which goes onto the phone bill. No messing with prepaying for service on phone cards. I'm very happy with the arrangement. Ken |
Many thanks for your helpful advice folks. Just tired of paying for something every month that I can't even use. I even get asked for a 3 digit passcode for some dial-arounds. |
- Posted by Michelle_S (My Page) on Tue, Sep 9, 03 at 2:05
I love OneSuite. It is 2.5 cents a minute anytime, but you do have to dial the 800 number first, then your password, then the number. It may take an extra 30 minutes, but we save over $200/year on long distance!!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: OneSuite
Thank you Michelle, I think that is what my daughter in WV uses. I haven't checked it out as I thought there was a problem with the access#, but think when my calling cards are out, I will so so. |
I dropped AT&T several months ago for the same reason. Made $.22 of long distance calls, but got billed $7.00! Monthly fees, access charges, etc. What a rip off! I called my local phone company (Qwest) and asked to remove AT&T but don't put another one on. I have been using 10-10-987 but now that Qwest has LD and my husband works for them I think I will use them. They have a no monthly fee plan, and the rate is $.15 per minute. I don't mind paying that, beats paying seven bucks for a 3 minute LD call! |
Thanks for the input and....get this....we share a birthday. |
We paid them for years. Then we changed companies a couple of times and it was more expensive so we switched back. Apparently our phone company says we "have" to have a LD provider. You don't have to pay a fee every month. I say this as to where I live, I know there are differences in different areas. Go online at AT&T and look at their plans. We have a plan that doesn't cost any monthly fee and the rates are reasonable also. We only use it rarely as we have a free weekend cell phone plan or we use the Sams/Walmart calling card 3cents. |

I dropped our long distance server (AT&T) a few years ago. You do not have to have a LD server. We used the Sam's Club calling card. I hated to have those "surprise" bills. With 4 kids in college our bills were terrible. It was nothing to have a SBC bill for $33 and an AT&T bill for over a $100. In the passed 6 months I have gotten a LD carrier again and am very happy with it. I had 128 minutes of LD and my bill came to $5.78. There is no "basic" fee! I am a happy camper now! Kathy G in MI |
Kathy, what LD carrier did you go with? |
Has anyone signed up for "The Neighborhood"? I'm interested in the promise that your bill will be $49.95 -- every month, regardless of the number of LD calls you make. It's not unheard of for me to make $100 in LD a month, so it's not only a savings, but easily budgeted for. However, I'm suspicious of pretty much every promise a utility makes! |
Most of my LD is within the state & boy, can THAT be expensive. I have one of the plans with AT&T that do not have a monthly service fee & make all my LD with my cell phone. If my kids want to call one of their friends from camp, they use calling cards. |

Joe Hill on NOS4A2's reality-bending horror and his appearance in Denver tomorrow
Honestly, the scene that hit me the hardest so far was a scene where a father of a young child gets the worst of a confrontation with Manx. As a father myself, it kind of put me in that space of imagining my kid having to grow up without me.
And maybe having seen you die! Every parent's nightmare is outliving their children, and by the same token, not much better, is your children seeing you suffer and die. No one wants to put their kids through that. It's interesting that you should bring up that particular character and scene, because a lot of the book is about the boogeyman in the closet and under the bed is scary, but not as scary as being a parent. Being a parent, every day is a new opportunity to terrify yourself and every day is a fresh chance to screw it all up. Having been a parent for a while, I wanted to write about that. I wanted to write about how scary it can be to be a mother.
I think a lot of mothers are really badly written. There's a tendency to make moms in stories all wise, eternally patient and utterly focused on their children. They have no inner life whatsoever, they're just there to bake muffins and tuck the kid in. And I don't think that really describes a lot of real mothers, who often times have lives of their own and interests of their own. Sometimes they don't get enough sleep and it's hard to be patient. Your kid does something reckless and nearly kills themselves and you get angry and scared. I think being a mother is a really tough job, and I wanted to write about a woman who is wrestling with what a difficult job that is, and who also had more to her than just being a mom -- also had her own ambitions and and hopes and dreams and fears and regrets.
It's not just mothers, either. With women characters in general, it seems like so many of them are written poorly.
Oh god, it's true! Especially in genre fiction, too. There are some people trying to do better. I credit Neil Gaiman for really changing the conversation, for really changing the attitudes of how female characters are written in genre fiction. He came along with his Sandman comic in the 1990s and then later in his novels, and he presented a really wide range of interesting female leads. Characters that were very funny and rich and layered, with interesting histories. He put a lot of other people to shame.
As far as you writing the character of Vic McQueen, did you draw on real women from your life?
No, some people do write from what they know, and in some ways I do that. I definitely think, that when I was growing up, when I was thirteen or fourteen and other kids had posters on their walls of athletes and movie stars and stuff, all the posters on my wall were pulled out of Fangoria magazine, which is a horror magazine dedicated to splatter f/x guys. Those were my heroes, so in a way I do write what I know. Horror fiction and dark fantasy come to me very naturally. But when I'm writing about characters, when I'm focusing on my characters, a lot of times I want to step out of my comfort zone and explore characters who maybe don't see the world like me, who maybe have had different kind of lives and experiences. Then the experience of writing the story becomes a kind of detective story. Not a "whodunnit" but a "who are they," and I like that. I like gradually uncovering a character, not knowing who they are when I start and letting them reveal themselves by their choices and their dialogue. That's the best part of the job, really.
You've mentioned in interviews that you start with a hook but that will only take you so far, and then you have to have good characters.
Yeah, absolutely. One of the guiding lights of my generation, one of the great creators of my generation is Joss Whedon. I'm a big admirer of his but I've only seen like two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; the TV show that made his reputation is not really how I know him. I know him from his work in comic books and from Firefly and from The Avengers. I think the thing that Joss Whedon recognized and has exploited is people want to love a character and then see those characters have great moments. To be forced in a box and have to punch their way out. To be confronted with their worst fears and to have their fondest hopes snatched away from them. He's really great at that. He's really great at finding these characters that you just want to spend time with every week, or as much as possible, and see them experience everything. I think that's the job, to create those characters and then give them their chance to be recognized as hero, coward or clown.
People talk a lot about giving the reader what they want, but I'm also a big believer in what Joss Whedon says about the job is actually to identify what the audience wants and then to never give it to them. To seriously deny it as much as possible. The example I use -- and if you've read other interviews, you've probably heard me mention it in at least one of them -- is people always wanted to know if Mulder and Scully were going to hop into bed together. It seems to me, The X-Files as a series was exciting and dynamic right up to the Rolling Stone cover where they were in bed together. At that moment, it ended. It was clear Mulder and Scully loved each other and people really wanted to see them form up as a couple. And the moment that creative desire was satisfied, the moment that happened, all the underlying power of the show evaporated.
I do think that you also have to recognize that stories require an ending. It may not be the ending that the audience wants sometimes, but you can't just play out the string endlessly.

Obama Argues That Avoiding Nationalization is a Way to Save Taxpayers Money
"Obama Argues That Avoiding Nationalization is a Way to Save Taxpayers Money"
In today's speech, being delivered right at the moment, Barack Obama offers a rationale for why they've avoided nationalization of large banks that I think is different from what we've heard before:
On the other hand, there have been some who don't dispute that we need to shore up the banking system, but suggest that we have been too timid in how we go about it. They say that the federal government should have already preemptively stepped in and taken over major financial institutions the way that the FDIC currently intervenes in smaller banks, and that our failure to do so is yet another example of Washington coddling Wall Street. So let me be clear – the reason we have not taken this step has nothing to do with any ideological or political judgment we've made about government involvement in banks, and it's certainly not because of any concern we have for the management and shareholders whose actions have helped cause this mess.
Rather, it is because we believe that preemptive government takeovers are likely to end up costing taxpayers even more in the end, and because it is more likely to undermine than to create confidence. Governments should practice the same principle as doctors: first do no harm. So rest assured – we will do whatever is necessary to get credit flowing again, but we will do so in ways that minimize risks to taxpayers and to the broader economy. To that end, in addition to the program to provide capital to the banks, we have launched a plan that will pair government resources with private investment in order to clear away the old loans and securities – the so-called toxic assets – that are also preventing our banks from lending money.
This I think is close to right. Though the real issue, I think, is less that a takeover would cost "even more in the end" than it is that a takeover would cost even more in the beginning. To do it, the administration would need to get congress to authorize a frightening level of expenditure that congress is, frankly, unlikely to agree to. The virtue of the PIPP is that it might work, and it can be done with existing authority. Many experts would say that to think the PPIP will actually be enough money in the end, and thus fulfill what Obama is promising here, is wishful thinking. And it very well may be wishful thinking. But given the real institutional and political constraints, it's not clear to me that the administration has any better path available to it in practice. PPIP should do some good, might work, and if it doesn't work then they can try to convince congress that the time has come for desperate measures.
What's disappointing about this section of the speech is the incredibly vagueness about what will happen if stress tests prove that banks need additional government capital: "where this is not possible, and banks require substantial additional resources from the government, we will hold accountable those responsible, force the necessary adjustments, provide the support to clean up their balance sheets, and assure the continuity of a strong, viable institution that can serve our people and our economy." What does that mean?
I liked Obama's capsule explanation of the paradox of thrift:
You see, when this recession began, many families sat around their kitchen table and tried to figure out where they could cut back. So do many businesses. That is a completely responsible and understandable reaction. But if every family in America cuts back, then no one is spending any money, which means there are more layoffs, and the economy gets even worse. That's why the government has to step in and temporarily boost spending in order to stimulate demand. And that's exactly what we're doing right now.
I also think the thing about the Sermon on the Mount that he hasn't said yet but that I've already read in the prepared text is pretty good.

To me what was most interesting about the debate was that Sen. Hillary Clinton was so directly making her argument to superdelegates.
More so than to voters, quite often.
Call it the Samsonite argument.
"I've been in this arena for a long time. I have a lot of baggage, and everybody has rummaged through it for years," she said. Therefore, she argued, "I will be able to withstand whatever the Republican sends our way."
But it wasn't enough for her to say that — Clinton pointed out all of Sen. Barack Obama's relatively unrummaged-through luggage. Including some misrepresentations of that baggage.
Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos brought up a number of issues that Obama's opponents have been making hay over — and Clinton consistently added and elaborated about them.
Polls indicate that 72% of Democrats believe Obama has successfully distanced himself from Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but Clinton is apparently not among them.
"It is something that I think deserves further exploration," she said of the controversy. "For Pastor Wright to have given his first sermon after 9/11 and to have blamed the United States for the attack, which happened in my city of New York, would have been intolerable for me. ….. And I think that it wasn't only the specific remarks, but some of the relationships with Reverend Farrakhan, with giving the church bulletin over to the leader of Hamas to put a message in. You know, these are problems, and they raise questions in people's minds. And so this is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office, for people to be exploring and trying to find answers."
(For the record, "giving the church bulletin over to the leader of Hamas" is a reference to the church bulletin running an oped by the deputy of the political bureau of Hamas that had appeared in the Los Angeles Times.)
After Stephanopoulos asked Obama about his relationship with William Ayres, a former member of the Weather Underground with whom he is, according to his campaign, "friendly," Obama said "this kind of game, in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, is somehow — somehow their ideas could be attributed to me — I think the American people are smarter than that. They're not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn't."
Clinton immediately jumped in to point out that it wasn't just that Obama and Ayres were friendly, but that "Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position."
She then made quite a leap, tying a quote of Ayres that appeared in the New York Times Arts section on 9/11 with 9/11.
"If I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York, and I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9/11 and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more. And what they did was set bombs and in some instances people died."
Obama said that "by Senator Clinton's own vetting standards, I don't think she would make it, since President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me serving on a board with somebody."
His general reaction was to reject this kind of politics.
"I recall when back in 1992, when she made a statement about how, what do you expect, should I be at home baking cookies?" he said. "And people attacked her for being elitist and this and that. And I remember watching that on TV and saying, well, that's not who she is; that's not what she believes; that's not what she meant. And I'm sure that that's how she felt as well. But the problem is that that's the kind of politics that we've been accustomed to. And I think Senator Clinton learned the wrong lesson from it, because she's adopting the same tactics."
And, the Obama campaign says, this is why Clinton's disapproval ratings are so high.

I have a Rheem Powervent Model # 42VP40FW gas water heater. 40 gallons, 40,000 BTU's and it is 4 years old. Over the last couple of months the water doesn't get near as hot as it used to be. For example, my shower today I had to put it all the way to the hottest setting as did my wife (in our other shower). The water in both instances would be getting cooler relatively quickly even though it was set at the hottest setting. Both showers were in the 10 minute range or so. Last weekend I flushed the water heater and very little sediment came out, maybe about 2 seconds worth. I used the method where you leave the gas and water on and hooked up a hose and let it run into a sink for probably 20 minutes or so. A couple of weeks ago I turned the heat setting up 1 setting on the water heater but nothing has changed. Is it ok to turn the heat up another level on the water heater? Should that be necessary? I'm guessing we're probably to the point where we need to hire a professional to come look at it but thought I would check for opinions here first. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How is the temp and for how long at laundry and kitchen? Is the water hot enough in shower for first 2 minutes? I don't believe this is caused by sediment but your flush method does little good. Next time turn control to pilot and completely empty the tank. Leave the drain open and open supply valve. The inrush of water hitting bottom of empty tank will dislodge sediment and suspend it in water long enough to be flushed out. |
Thanks for the response. It doesn't take more than the usual amount of time (mabye 20 seconds or so) for the water to warm up in the shower. However, I have to turn it all the way on hot when I turn it on for that to happen. If I set it at the formerly regular setting (which used to be slightly in the red) it never gets warm enough to shower. That's a good question on the kitchen/laundry. I checked last week and it seemed that all of the sinks would warm up enough for it to burn my hand if I left it under the tap (which definitely isn't the case in the shower). However, a second test of that this weekend and it didn't seem like the faucets were getting all that warm now either. I could leave my hand under it without it ever burning my hand. Tonight, I will try your method of flushing it as well. Thanks |
In view of no desisive information on those two questions,I can only offer; If there is a child under 10,an elderly or disabled person in the home,have a professional to look at it. If not, make certain there is a T&P valve installed and that it isn't stuck,then turn the tempature control up. If that dosn't help,the control is likly defective. I don't consider gas heater repair a good idea,heater replacment is preferred. |
UPDATE: My water heater was still under warranty so I called in a pro and they replaced the thermostat on the water heater and the dip tube inside was broken off so it was replaced. All is well again EXCEPT one thing which leads to an new/updated question: All faucets are now back to normal except our 2 upstairs showers. Both still aren't hot enough. We have the same Delta faucet in each shower. It has the handle to turn on the water and the separate slider to adjust the temperature. I took off the front cap and adjusted the limit stop to get more hot water and nothing has changed. I actually increased it as far as it would go (counterclockwise) but the temperature just isn't near as hot as it should be. Both were installed at the same time when we built the house in 2002 and both get a lot of use. Any ideas what I should do next? Thanks |
This post was edited by pjmystic on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 13:08
You hired a plumber then alowed him to leave before all this had been completly addressed??? |
I did. I figured this one out though. Delta sent me new cartridges for each of them (free). I replaced them but still wasn't getting enough hot water. As it turned out, there was some sediment built up behind the handle that was stopping it from turning all the way to the hot side. Once I scraped that off, we were able to turn it fully hot and shower is all good again. |

Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.
Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposition imaginable. His wit and sheer prose fluency make At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.
". . . a delightful stroll through the history of domestic life. Now living in a 19th-century church rectory in Norfolk, England, the author decided to learn about the ordinary things of life by exploring each room in his house. . . . In a sense, Bryson's book is a history of 'getting comfortable slowly'" —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Fascinating. . . . Join this ambiable tour guide as he wanders through his house, a former rectory built in 1851 in a tranquil English village. . . . [It] takes a very particular kind of thoughtfulness, as well as a bold temperament, to stuff all this research into a mattress that's supportive enough to loll about on while pondering the real subject of this book -- the development of the modern world. . . . Bryson is fascinated by everything, and his curiosity is infectious...[his] enthusiasm brightens any dull corner. . . . You'll be given a delightful smattering of information about everything but...the kitchen sink."— Dominique Browning, The New York Times Book Review

Why oh why did I wait so long to buy this?! I remember looking at it a couple of years ago and thinking "eh". For some strange reason I purchased Greensmoke at my last visit to the MAC store because I needed one ore to fill up a palette so I thought "Oh, why not." and I am SO glad I did. Honestly, this is my new favorite of all time. Keep in mind, I am the most neutral makeup person on the planet. I can't stand color on my eyes. I always feel funny with much color. This one surprisingly is still very neutral. Who would have thought that?! It's a pewter green that really does make your eye looks dazzling. Oh, I also HATE glitter (hey, I'm over 40 and don't want to look like I'm trying to be 18 again) but this one totally works for me. I think it would be great for nighttime but I am using it nearly everyday usually over one of the light, neutral paints and Ricepaper or Nylon to highlight. Today I paired it with Amber lights and that was gorgeous. I love it with Patina as well. Ah! I am just so happy with this e/s. I have never been sick in love with an e/s until this one that's for sure. So, if you are on the fence you MUST get this!

I just bought L'oreal HIP in the Metallic Gunmetal and this is comparable if not better than MAC's Greensmoke. I am returning the Greensmoke since I bought it the day before I checked out HIP Gunmetal.
I really love this color. I bought it about a month ago, but just tried using it today. I used it on my lid and blended it up into cocomotion pigment. It blends well, is beautiful and really makes my blue green eyes pop.
Unless I use a heavy hand, all I get is greensmoke-tinted glitter. It is a bit difficult to get the most out of the color when applying, but when I do I love it. Bought it as a hopeful replacement to my beloved and disconintued VS Golden Olive, but not quite golden enough.
More reviews by ceciliathegreat
I finally got around to using it and I really like it. The only thing that kinda bothers me is that it contains a lot of tiny silver glitters.
What a color. This is a very glittery pewter green that will make your eyes looks dazzling. Like most reviewers, I love the color so much it breaks my heart that the texture is hard to work with. Still worth it, I'd say, you just have to use primer, layer it on and watch out for the fallout.

AMAZING eyeshadow! I love MAC! the colors may be bold but on a night out this is a girl's best friend!!
ahhh the infamous lustre e/s forumla.... they look so pretty in the pot but can be so incredibly difficult to work with... now ive had better luck with some of the lustre e/s'... mythology, gleam and aquadisiac havent been as problematic as this one, nanogold and honesty.. which is such a shame because i find the lustre e/s' are the prettiest ones when in the pan..
but on to the actual color itself... i agree with the reviewer that said this shadow was aptly named.... its your perfect smoky greyish green.... very shimmery, but not over the top.. when used wet on the lower lash line it compliments a greyish brown smoky eye perfectly... but it is difficult to layer and blend which is a damn shame because its such a gorgeous color...
minus one lippie for that, but i just love the color so much... would buy again despite problems
More reviews by winddancer1323
I actually really loved this eyeshadow. It looks like a shimmery dark green with a hint of silver in the pot, but on my NC 44 skin, was more of a grey color with a hint of green. Perfect for a smoky eye look or as an all over color. Swipe on this eyeshadow, a little bit of eyeliner and mascara, and viola! You've got fabulous eyes

I want to upgrade from the typical mailbox sold at home centers, but still keep a traditional style, in metal. I don't like the plastic ones, or the ornate fancy ones. I just want an old-fashioned mailbox on a post that is higher quality and a little more heavy-duty than the cheapies. I have seen some really heavy-gauge ones that are vandal proof, but they're overkill, and over $100. Any suggestions? Thanks! David |

Gibralter and Salsbury make good product. And yeah, you kinda do have to be close to $100 for a good box. Don't forget the matching $128 post. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 4800 Series Post-Mount Deluxe Rural Mailbox
Get the box you want. If you want it to be able to take the drivers who can't tell the difference between the road and the shoulder you need a post that can withstand there assault. 3' or 4 " PVC or Steel filled with concrete and set into the ground in concrete will take care of the drivers who have had a few to many. Once they realize the cost of repair to there car is more then replacing the mailbox they tend to be a bit more careful. ( Thank my neighbor and his dumb-ass kids for this attitude.) |

Bluefin Labs, Named After a Sushi Bar, Tracks Social Media Around "Every Show on TV" | Xconomy
I'll spare you the sordid details, but Bluefin Labs won't. The Cambridge, MA-based tech company, which Roy co-founded in 2008, is all about understanding social-media conversations around TV programs and ads. Not just what's being said and the sentiment behind it—as many other companies are tracking in various fields—but also the precise demographics of who's saying it, what else they're saying (and watching), and how their profile and comments are correlated with other people and programs, in an aggregate sense.
Bluefin Labs has gotten its share of press for its technology approach. But the company seems to be coming into its own as a business, and it has been garnering interest from TV network executives and big brand marketers as of late. So I sat down with Roy, Bluefin's CEO, to learn more about the company's history and approach.
Roy is a professor on leave from the MIT Media Lab. He's an expert in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining, among other things. His company, which now has north of 30 employees, has deep computer-science research in its DNA (for better or worse). Based largely on its technology and team, it has raised more than $7 million from Redpoint Ventures, Acacia Woods Ventures, Lerer Ventures, and other investors.

The title track and second single from the album sees Mac return to his backpack roots with a pumped-up, hype beat behind him. Miller returns to referencing popular culture, shouting-out some of his favourite apparel & showcasing his greed.
Looking at my life is like you're watching movies, and everyone is like, "Oh, what a cliché". But it is — cause that's the point, you're watching movies before you turn the sound off
