Sometime in the last week I misplaced my house keys. They have no identification on them, and my car keys are separate, so if a burglar found them I'm safe. I've looked everywhere in the house, in my car, in pockets of every jacket I own. Still hunting.
My dog had a wart on her head I've been watching for six months. Vet looked at it long ago and said, just leave it alone, we'll take it off if necessary. This week it suddenly looked larger and the dog ( a beautiful 8 year old purebred Wheaten Terrier female named "Molly" ) started sleeping more than usual and didn't seem interested in going out to play. Hubby and I were worried, so we took her to our Vet who examined her. Said the thing on her head looks like a "papilloma" wart, but the dog's insides felt "doughy", and she couldn't feel her organs, like stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver. Blood test revealed high white cell count but everything else normal. Vet said it could be a viral infection, or possible cancer. So we started Molly on some antibiotics. She's still eating ,drinking pooping and peeing like normal. But she's awful quiet. Please cross your fingers that I find my keys, but more important that our fur baby recovers. |

This probably doesn't belong in "Organizing". I meant to post on Kitchen Table. Boy am I "DISorganized". |

Jannie, I'm sorry about your keys, but I am really worried about your dog. Can you please take her to a different vet for a second opinion? This does not sound right. My thoughts are with you. |
I'll do that, Colorcrazy. |

Floating Campfire vs Leave No Trace
Posted by: kayakdog on Aug-17-09 12:10 AM (EST)
"I've used shallow bricks of sod cut from the rough area around camp." This clearly is not a good idea when camping anywhere other than your own private property. Cutting sod from any public or wilderness campsite is definitely going against the principles of "Leave No Trace" camping.
The whole idea of building an elaborate raft for a fire, though sentimental, nostalgic, or romantic, is quite a heavy-handed endeavor for any wilderness setting.

On-Street Bike Parking Comes to NYC
Jan 4, 2012 at 12:08 PM 0 Comments | Add a Comment
Current Score: Pdx 73, NYC 1
Portland may not have invented on-street bike parking, but I'm pretty sure we coined its name: bike corral. Simply put, bike corrals are groups of bike racks installed on the street instead of the sidewalk. While they come in all different sizes and styles, they've really caught on in Portland - we have 73 locations in the city (and Vancouver's got one too!)
Can bike corrals stop this from happening? Image: Streetsblog.org |
Now New York is getting into the on-street bike parking game (Brooklyn, aka "Big Portland," to be exact.)
Streetsblog.org posted a video story today about the new Brooklyn corral, explaining that the city's transportation department not only wanted to increase bike parking but wanted to improve visibility to tackle a crash-plagued intersection.
According to the article, the city thought about several different solutions to the problem but settled on the bike corral because it dramatically increased visibility for road users. It probably didn't hurt that bike corrals are very inexpensive compared to other transportation infrastructure projects.
If you want to learn more about Portland's 73 and growing bike corrals, visit the website.

Watch the Tied Series Trailer and scroll down to read book excerpts!
Enjoy this excerpt from Tied Down:
Their foreheads touched as they caught their breath. As the world came back, alarm ran through him. "Oh shit, I didn't use a condom."
"Don't worry, I'm on the pill and I'm clean. I've only ever used condoms."
"I'm clean too."
She nodded. "Good, that's settled then. Neither of us has to worry or see each other again. Don't worry about taking me home. I'll call a cab."
"Absolutely not, kitten."
She frowned at the continued endearment. "It's Kat and yes, I think so." No way was she going to show this man where she lived. He was too much. Despite him agreeing to no strings, she felt like she was suffocating. Usually she either had a mutual understanding with her one nighters or she snuck out when they were dead asleep. This time, she didn't have that luxury. Cristoff seemed to be radiating hot male energy like he wanted to fuck her again. She would've liked to, but she couldn't let him ingrain her again. She knew that each time they were intimate increased the likelihood that she would get to know him. The more she would probably like him and want to stick around, but that would just complicate her life.
"I won't budge in this."
"I won't either."
He sighed, his hand twirling around a tendril of her hair. "Let me at least see you safely home. I'll walk out of here with you over my shoulder if I have to."
She gasped, outraged at his guile. He was already trying to complicate her life. "If the high and mighty Cristoff decrees, I shall do as he commands." She paired her mocking tone with a curtsey.
"Careful, kitten. I can add putting you over my knee on the way home too."
She said a few words under her breath that had him lifting his eyebrows. Then his phone ringing saved her. Frowning at his screen, he held up one finger then answered with a curt, "Rivera."
It was her turn to raise her eyebrows. His name was Cristoff Rivera? So weird. That actually sounded familiar, but she couldn't place why. She shook her head. As soon as he turned his back, pacing away, she slipped through the door as fast as she could. Well, she thought, nice meeting you, Cristoff.
Enjoy this short except from Tied in Knots:
Victoria finished dressing but took her scarf off to leave on his desk. She didn't think Dominic would be back for a few more hours, so she took her time dressing. She opened his computer and typed a quick memo. She wrote to the company not to Dominic himself, keeping everything professional and not showing her emotions at all.
She straightened the papers on his desk, not able to help herself. As she headed to the door, she cast a last longing glance at the blue scarf wishing she could keep it, but she couldn't bear to take it with her since it reminded her so much of Dom. In her relationship with Dom they had used the scarf many times. If she ever left him, she had to let it go as well.
She grabbed her purse and made her way down to the first floor. She ignored the people shuffling around behind her making rude sounds when she interrupted their traffic flow. Her feet no longer obeyed her as she suddenly paused at the revolving door. She stared outside into the sunlight. The rain clouds had fled. In its place was brilliant sunlight warming up the day.
Tears pricked her eyes, but she blinked them back so they wouldn't spill in public. It took effort to swallow. You can do this, Vicki. It just has to be this way.
Her phone rang, making her jump. She gulped as she realized it was Dominic. It rang a few more times before she slowly answered.
"Take a step out that door, Ms. Carson, and you'll regret it." His voice barely contained his fury.
The hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood on end as she realized he was watching her on camera. Her shoulders straightened from their stooped posture, her head lifted and she boldly swept her gaze around the room, looking for his secondary eyes. She spotted a few, but she didn't know exactly which one he was looking at her from, so she glared at each of them. Challenging him.
"Explain what the hell this is on my desk." He sounded calmer, almost casual.
"I think it's rather self-explanatory, Mr. Nox."
His voice turned threatening. "Why do I have a resignation letter on my desk?"
Got any fetishes for men in uniforms? Then In His Custody is for you and it is smoking with a twist! Get it FREE on Smashwords or B&N, or if you have a kindle, please do a pricematch on Amazon!
Cassandra enjoys a night of racing out into the countryside breaking a few laws until someone ruins her fun—a hot muscular someone. She takes it in stride loving nothing more than a man in uniform until he asks her to get out of the car.
Enjoy this emotional rollercoaster of naughtiness and don't stop until you reach the end of the ride. Trust me on this.
His scowl did not move as he opened her door. "Step out of the car, ma'am."
Obeying him, she got out carefully, making sure her hands were in his line of sight. She shrunk a little to be unthreatening, and bit her lip as she looked up at him.
"Face your car, palms on the hood, feet spread." He put a firm hand on her back as she turned. "Do you have anything on you that could stick me?"
"No, sir." She tried to turn but his hand prevented her. "Are you going to—what's the word—uh, frisk me, officer?"
He finally smiled, but it was more of a predator's smile than a reassuring one. "Pat you down to make sure you don't have anything that you shouldn't." He turned her back around again.
"Alright, um, just please keep it professional…"
Enjoy this Excerpt from Wickedly Tied
"Why'd you bring me here Raphael?"
He took a large swallow of his own. "I'm not sure. Maybe I did it to look after you." He eyed her outfit, his eyes traveling up her boots, caressing a sliver of creamy midriff, and then pausing at the cleavage her corset graciously pushed up.
"I don't need looking after."
"Yes, you do, topolino."
She straightened to her full five-foot-two when he called her little mouse. He didn't give any indication that he noticed her ire. His fingers casually caught a tendril of her hair, smoothing it to her head; he didn't drop his hand though. Just lazily pet her head. "The guy you were dancing with is a predator."
"And you're not?" She shot back. His hand left her head. She almost protested its sudden absence. "Raphael, please just call me a cab."
"I will after we talk."
"What is there to talk about?"
One side of his lips lifted in a half smile. "What you saw in the halls. What I allowed you to see as we were passing by. Would you like to see more?"
She gulped. "I'm not into that kind of, er, lifestyle."
He took the now empty glass from her and set it on the nightstand. "Just let me give you a small taste, Michelle. Just one small taste."
"I'm a one-partner girl, not into multiple partners."
His hand tightened in her hair almost painfully. "I would never share you." He edged her skirt up to her hips slowly as he whispered, "Let me give you a taste of my lifestyle."

Over/Under: 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' vs. 'Once Upon a Time in the West'
Features By Nathan Adams on January 31, 2012 | Comments (10)Once upon a time, Hollywood was king of the Western and the idea of anybody over in Europe making a movie about the American Southwest as successful as something like High Noon was laughable. Italian-produced films about the west, or Spaghetti Westerns, were largely low budget knock-offs where fading Hollywood stars went to die after their careers had peaked. But the work of Sergio Leone changed that viewpoint. His "The Man With No Name" trilogy wasn't just a worldwide financial success upon release, the films have gone on to be seen as some of the greatest Westerns produced anywhere, throughout the history of film. And the final installment of that series, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, has especially become an important part of the fabric of pop culture. More than any other Western I can think of, it's stood the test of time and achieved a level of awareness that rivals any other classic film in any other genre. Often it's referred to as not just the definitive Spaghetti Western and Leone's masterpiece, but as the definitive Western, period. That's all fine and good, because I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is largely a great film; but I think he actually improved two years later when he made Once Upon a Time in the West, my pick for the greatest Western of all time.

If they're lucky, diners at Weston Sushi & Grill might see the restaurant's massive sushi boat, a handsome wooden vessel showcasing a dazzling array of ornate sushi rolls and colorful pieces of sashimi. The masterminds behind this splendid spread of seafood are the restaurant's sushi chefs, who extend their expertise towards dozens of traditional and imaginative rolls. While the sushi bar churns out fresh-fish creations, the kitchen sizzles up Japanese and Chinese specialties ranging from teriyaki ribs and scallops to bubbling pots of udon soup. There are stir-fried Chinese noodles and fiery Szechuan specialties—including spicy chicken and sizzling steak—as well as ice-cream desserts flavored like red bean, vanilla, and green tea.
Beneath the colorful toques on their heads, hibachi chefs flip and sauté meat and vegetables on their tabletop grills, smiling as they conjure the occasional bursts of flame during lively cooking routines. That's just one scene at SooWoo Japanese Steakhouse—across the restaurant, sushi chefs slice ribbons of fish and vegetables and roll them into California and spicy tuna rolls. Basketball fans can celebrate the city's 2012 NBA championship with the specialty Miami Heat roll, which includes slices of shrimp tempura, crab, and cream cheese. SooWoo also whips up Korean dishes, such as bulgogi and pork belly.
The chefs at Go!Bento fill traditional Japanese-style bento boxes with entrees and sides from Chinese, Thai, and other Asian cuisines. Bento boxes in sizes from the petite Go! Ninja to the hearty Go! Sumo mingle pad thai, honey-garlic chicken, lo mein noodles, and steamed pot stickers. Go!Bento also riffs on hot dogs with katsu-fried franks, avocado, and spicy mayonnaise. The kitchen team coils specialty sushi rolls such as the BFF, whose circumference of tuna, salmon, and whitefish is measured in friendship bracelets. Branching out from their core competency of savory seafood, the staff also drizzles donuts with condensed milk and green-tea ice cream to round out the menu.
At the family-owned Sushi Room, skilled chefs from Manhattan, Miami, and Japan use fresh seafood and inventive recipes to spice up traditional Japanese dishes. The menu focuses heavily on sushi, with options ranging from standard soft shell crab and tuna rolls to the specialty mixed volcano roll, which mixes a traditional California roll with baked salmon, crab, conch, and octopus. If sushi and sashimi aren't your thing, you can choose from an extensive selection of cold and hot Japanese plates that include vegan-friendly tofu dishes. The flavorful escargot plate is simmered in sake and cabernet in a traditional toban-style ceramic skillet. Lounge in the candlelit dining room and savor sips of sake—the restaurant serves more than 20 varieties of the traditional rice wine.
Asia Bay serves the "best sushi in this town," according to actor Alec Baldwin, who tweeted his recommendation while in Fort Lauderdale to film Rock of Ages, according to pbpulse. The man behind this A-list-worthy cuisine is executive chef and co-owner Peter Hepp, who according to Miami New Times "is hip to the aesthetic of clean lines, vivid colors, and brightly delineated flavors." Hepp's chefs drizzle the menu's more than 60 sushi and sashimi plates with colorful sauces as carefully as painters adorn canvas, yielding dishes that are as nice to look at as they are to eat. The 50-seat dining room operates under a similarly modern theme, with large picture windows, white leather chairs, and curved-back banquettes which Social Miami calls "minimalist-chic."
Outside, a patio held up by stilts lifts diners above the rippling waves of the Tarpon River, helping garner Asia Bay an OpenTable Diners' Choice Award for Best Outdoor Dining. Here the decor invites relaxation with large parasols, old-fashioned street lamps, and seagulls who will give backrubs for fresh-cut sashimi.
A 1,200-gallon aquarium greets diners as soon as they enter Tokyo Blue, an upscale Pan-Asian restaurant located inside the Ocean Manor. Situated on 200 feet of private beach, this elegant eatery features modern flourishes such as glowing glass columns, glossy blue floors, and a full bar illuminated by blue lights. Once the clock strikes 10:30 p.m., a DJ helps transform this chic space into a hopping nightclub, where patrons can refuel with a late-night menu or journey onto a second-story patio ideal for basking in the ocean air and high-fiving the occasional flying fish.
Against this trendy backdrop, Chef Mai—who earned his cooking chops at the popular Miami restaurant Nobu—simmers tenderloin in green curry, drizzles shichimi butter on baked Maine lobster, and pan-sears Chilean sea bass in 25-year aged balsamic and teriyaki sauce. Meanwhile, sushi chef Jo skillfully assembles 30 specialty rolls, including classics such as the California roll as well as eclectic mash-ups such as the Mexican roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, spicy mayo, cream cheese, and sesame seeds.

Reducing Your Risk of Melanoma
Protecting your skin and checking it for changes are keys to preventing melanoma or catching one in an early, treatable stage.
Avoid Exposure to the Sun
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun increases your risk of melanoma. Here's how to protect your skin from the sun's UV rays:
- Avoid spending too much time in the sun.
- Avoid exposing your skin to the sun between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM standard time, or 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM daylight saving time.
- Protect your skin from the sun with clothing. Wear a shirt, sunglasses, and a hat with a broad brim.
- Use broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more on skin that will be exposed to the sun.
- Use a protective lip balm.
- Wear sunglasses with 99% or 100% UV absorption to protect your eyes.
- Don't use sun lamps or tanning booths.
- Get regular full-body skin exams by a dermatologist. The doctor will check for moles, freckles, and other growths.
Check Your Skin for Abnormal-looking Moles
Check your skin regularly and have someone help you check areas you can't see, such as your back and buttocks, scalp, underneath the breasts of women, and the backs of the legs. If you notice a new, changing or an irregular-looking mole, show it to a doctor experienced in recognizing skin cancers, such as a dermatologist. This may include large, irregular shape with a border that is not smooth and even, more than one color, or irregular texture. Your doctor may monitor the mole or recommend removing it
If you have a condition called dysplastic nevus syndrome, you should have your dermatologist check your skin regularly for atypical moles.

Poems of Robert Wever
1. | In a Herber Green Asleep Whereas I Lay | 1/1/2004 |
2. | In Youth is Pleasure | 1/4/2003 |
In Youth is Pleasure
IN a harbour grene aslepe whereas I lay,
The byrdes sang swete in the middes of the day,
I dreamed fast of mirth and play:
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.
Methought I walked still to and fro,
And from her company I could not go--
But when I waked it was not so:
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.

''Norton has given us living, breathing characters that we know and understand . . . and who inhabit our imaginations after we've finished this book." —Jeffery Deaver
In many ways, Reeve LeClaire looks like a typical twenty-two year old girl. She's finally landed her own apartment, she waitresses to pay the bills, and she wishes she wasn't so nervous around new people. She thinks of herself as agile, not skittish. As serious, not grim. But Reeve is anything… (more)

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I recently purchased this clock radio for the guest bedroom in my house and am very satiated with it. This useful GPX clock radio was bought by me for only ten dollars at my local Sears department store while doing some Christmas shopping in the electronics department because I needed an extra clock radio. It is really, quite frankly, very basic and simple. Now, it is an effective time keeping product but let's just say if I found this under my tree for Christmas, I would think Santa was a grinch.FeaturesIt has a very large LCD digital display which shows the time so even if you have 20/80 vision without glasses, you will be able to tell what time it is when waking up in the morning. Of course, there is an wake up alarm feature as well which has an easily accessible snooze button which will give you an extra 15 minutes of quiet time, if so desired. I like the fact this item has this characteristic because it really enables one to get those extra couple of minutes of sleep.In addition, it has the capability to preset up to 10 different AM and FM radio stations, for easily push button access. To be honest, the sound quality is very average at best. It reminds of my radios from the 1980's before speakers and their audio output where signifcantly improved but again if you are listening to this particular radio because of its' quality you will be emminently disappointed. There is a reason it costs only ten dollars!Overall Product SummaryThis is obviously a very basic clock and doesn't have all those fancy bells and whistles of other clock radios in the marketplace. I certainly would not in good conscience recommend buying this GPX Clock Radio that costs only ten dollars for your master bedroom. But, if you are looking for a very simple alarm clock for a guest room in your home that will only be used occassionally, then this is a very reasonable purchase to make for you.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Make no bones about it, a discovery by a Kansas State University research team could mean a longer and healthier life for man's best friend.
University researchers Tonatiuh Melgarejo, an associate professor of human nutrition; Frank Blecha, distinguished professor of immunophysiology; and Yongming Sang and Maria Ortega, former postdoctoral fellows, isolated and characterized a natural antimicrobial peptide that helps dogs to better fight pathogens -- including different bacteria, viruses and fungi.
The peptide's characteristics and production method were recently issued as a patent titled "Antimicrobial Cathelicidin Peptides" to the Kansas State University Research Foundation, a nonprofit corporation responsible for managing the technology transfer activities of the university.
Researchers modeled the synthetic canine antimicrobial on a naturally occurring peptide found in the white blood cells of dogs, then tested it against numerous types of viruses, fungi and bacteria.
"It turned out it's really good at killing these microorganisms," Melgarejo said. "We suspected we had something that could really improve animal health, and maybe eventually human health."
The study that led to the synthetic antibody began in 2003, as Melgarejo and colleagues intended to find the antimicrobial peptides -- or antibodies -- responsible for canine immunity. Up to that point little data had been collected about the animal's immunology.
"Every single living creature on Earth -- animals, plants, insects and even bacteria -- produce some type of antimicrobial peptides," Melgarejo said. "These peptides are very small molecules that kill microbes like bacteria, viruses and yeast. It's a fairly simple defensive system, and everything from bacteria to humans produce these peptides."
According to Melgarejo, the antimicrobial peptides that each species produces are unique and hardwired to an organism's DNA,

Nacogdoches city leaders to discuss water concerns
POSTED: Monday, August 15, 2011 - 9:56am
UPDATED: Monday, August 15, 2011 - 9:57am
Nacogdoches, TX — Nacogdoches City Council members on Tuesday will consider enacting Stage One of the city's drought contingency plan in an effort to reduce consumption and preserve the water at Lake Nacogdoches.
The continued hot, dry weather is expected to persist even for as long as a year, and City Engineer Steve Bartlett said it's a good idea to begin cutting back on usage in anticipation of that.
"We were hoping a month ago that we would see some kind of improvement, primarily in our weather, but that hasn't happened," he said. "It's still hot, dry and we have the whole no-rain issue. We are not in any kind of crises, but we feel it is important to begin some voluntary conservation at this point.
The council will also consider awarding bids for the Central Heights Elevated Booster Station and the Water Well No. 6 improvements, which are both items needed to be taken care of for the city's part of enacting the drought contingency plan, Bartlett said.
The city is required to make sure all water wells and booster stations are repaired and functioning as well as they can, he said.
Annual reports and requests for funding will be given by the Nacogdoches Economic Development Corporation, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Nacogdoches Boys and Girls Club and the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce - Certified Retirement Community.
A public hearing will take place on the proposed city budget for the upcoming fiscal year and the council members will be asked to rescind a request to the Texas Department of Transportatoin's aviation department and amend it to consider rehabilitation of Runway 18-36, the hanger taxiways and the apron at the airport.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- — U.S. stocks logged a second straight day of gains Thursday, pushing the S&P 500 to a fresh-5 year high. But the advance was modest as investors took a cautious approach ahead of a slew of earnings reports next week.
The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 0.4% and S&P 500 gained 0.5%, rising to its highest level since December 2007. The Nasdaq edged uo 0.2%.
Financials were among the biggest winners, with Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase leading the gains on the Dow.
But there was little in the way of new data to move stocks Thursday. While companies have begun to open their books, it's premature to make a bold declaration about how well companies did in the fourth quarter and what their outlooks will be like.
"We've got some positive surprises, but there's still a lot of uncertainty about what exactly the global economy looks like," said Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital. "We've got to hear from the larger global companies like General Electric to get a better sense of where the economy is headed."
Overall, analysts expect earnings for companies in the S&P 500 to grow 2.4% year-over-year, according to FactSet Research, with banks expected to lead the way. Wells Fargo reports results Friday. It's the first large bank to release its earnings.
In corporate news, Supervalu reported that it swung to a profit during its fiscal third quarter. The grocery store operator also announced that it will sell Jewel-Osco, Albertson's and some of its chains to Cerberus Capital Management, a New York-based investment firm, for $3.3 billion. Shares of Supervalu surged.
Shares of Nokia rallied after the phone company reported better-than-expected sales for its handset business.
Nutritional supplement company Herbalife hosted an investor conference to rebut charges from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman that it's running a pyramid scheme. Herbalife executives were confident in the company's defense, saying it's a "legitimate company with legitimate customers."
Shares of Tiffany & Co declined after the luxury retailer said sales during the holiday season rose just 4% worldwide, at the low-end of the company's expectations. Tiffany said it now expects its full-year profit to be at the lower end of its prior forecast. The company also said earnings growth in 2013 will be subdued due to uncertainty about the economy in all of its major markets.
Investors also digested fresh data on the labor market Thursday. The number of people filing for initial jobless claims rose 4,000 to 371,000 in the latest week.
A separate report showed that wholesale inventories rose 0.6% in November, which was higher than expected.
Fear & Greed Index
European markets finished mixed. The FTSE 100 gained ground, but Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 ended in the red. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England held interest rates at record lows on Thursday morning.
Asian markets ended higher following positive trade data from China. The Shanghai Composite added 0.4%, the Nikkei advanced 0.7% and the Hang Seng jumped 0.6%.
The dollar fell against the euro and the pound, but gained ground versus the Japanese yen.
Oil and gold prices rose.
The price of the 10-year Treasury declined, pushing the yield up to 1.89% from 1.85% late Wednesday.

I realize that some of the board veterans hate threads like this because they get tired of hearing complaints about DirecTV policies that seem set in stone. But complaining, and complaining loudly, is one of the tools that consumers have to get policies changed. Perhaps not as effective a tool as walking out to DishTV or another vendor, but still an arrow in the quiver.
So I, for one, love that this thread exists. Contributing this post to this thread is one of the ways that I have to communicate what I am dissatisfied with to DirecTV.
I despise DirecTV's "no difference to see here, move along" policy. And I despise DirecTV's "every customer for himself" way of doing business that requires that I play CSR roulette to get a fair deal whenever I want anything. I have had a broken DVR in my bedroom since January, and have been waiting now for almost 5 months for the HR44 to be available to replace it. The fact that I am faced with the decision to either pay $399 to Solid Signal or play Price Roulette with whatever CSR I can talk into whatever deal I can and then play Genie Roulette with whatever installer I get just infuriates me.
If DirecTV did not have those policies, it would have my undying loyalty, but as it is, I feel absolutely no loyalty toward DirecTV and would walk to a better deal in a heartbeat. I like the TV service, I like the offerings and I like Season Ticket, but I despise those policies.
Rather than wish that this thread would just go away, as some seem to be in favor of, I wish this thread was 1000 pages long with lots of customers angry and dispirited from DirecTV's nonsensical policies.

To those applying I would say, "Pay attention to detail." Had friends, husband and wife, recently apply and were unnecessarily delayed. He failed to fill in all the blanks and her prints were not clear enough (that one should be on the LEO office, should have ensured they were correct).
I applied in the first week of Feb and got mine in the first week of April so about 60 days...that's pretty fast considering when I called in Feb. the first appointment I could get was May 14..I bypassed the appointment and mailed it in myself after getting the digital prints. Not bad at all !
Apparently I was extremely luck, back in January when I called on Monday to get an appointment in the Jacksonville office they had an opening on Thursday, permit in hand the following Saturday. When my wife called in April they had opening everyday. If you are in North Florida call the Jax office, they seem to have the system perfected.

Cooling in the blade rack
Blade servers may help to reduce the footprint I take, but how can I be sure of cooling in the rack? What sort of rack should I look for? And why?
That said, you have several options for cooling: natural air, forced air, a combination of both and liquid cooling. People tend to freak out about having liquid cooling in their data center, but if you have a sprinkler system, you already have water in the data center (food for thought). In planning your cooling, you will require one thermal unit of cooling for each KW of power you consume. Here are a few schools of thought to cons...

- Get rid of the abandoned cable under the floor. This is the biggest hurdle to cooling efficiency in many data centers. You can't push air through a wad of cables. By the way, this is also now a code requirement (NEC 2005). An air study will also help. APC has a program to do this (don't worry -- not vendor specific).
- In an natural air flow system, you can increase cooling efficiency by making sure that you have some means to deal with the heated air -- either pull it out of the room, use a very high ceiling to help it dissipate or duct it out of the room.
- With forced air or with a combination of forced and natural air, you assist the cooling by utilizing fans to draw the cool air into the cabinets. A good rule of thumb is to allow two perforated tiles (4') in front of your cabinets. Make sure that any places the cold air can escape (though holes in the floor, blank areas in cabinets, etc.) are stopped with brushes and blanking panels. This improves efficiency.
- Liquid-cooled cabinets provide sort of a personal chilling unit for the enclosed equipment. They are connected to your water pipes and in some cases to a water tank. Many buildings have underutilized chiller units, which can be incorporated into the system.

County special ops team gets military 'muscle'
By Traci Chapman
As Canadian County's population has grown and the threat to officers increased, officials say they needed to find a way to protect those officers.
Their solution came thanks to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Support Office, which made it possible for the county to acquire an armored vehicle for "less than pennies on the dollar," Canadian County Undersheriff Chris West said.
LESO works with the federal Defense Logistics Agency. Together, that partnership makes it possible for local law enforcement to procure at little or no cost military grade items that are no longer used by soldiers, West said. In Canadian County, the program has brought rifles and other similar items to local deputies, he said.
As the county has seen a surge in population – and with it, the potential for "high risk" situations facing officers and deputies, it was necessary to form a Special Operations Team that would not only handle sensitive or highly dangerous matters, but would also have the ability to offer aid to other counties when needed. Thus was created a Special Operations Team comprised of Canadian County sheriff's deputies and officers from Mustang, Yukon and El Reno police departments, West said.
"No one in the county has a SWAT team, like other larger municipalities," West said Monday. "This is our version of a SWAT team."
With the team's mission – handling dangerous and high-risk situations – in mind, West began looking for something to help transport members. An armored personnel carrier would be ideal, he said. Oklahoma Highway Patrol had the perfect vehicle, which could cost anywhere from $250,000 to $400,000.
That, the undersheriff said, was the problem.
"We didn't have funds like that, so we knew we'd have to be creative with a solution," West said.
That's where LESO came in. The agency came into possession of several mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles – MRAPs – and Canadian County's special operations team could get in on the deal, West said.
"These were vehicles used in combat and built to withstand IEDs," West said. "They were retrofitted with new engines and chassis, and the best part was we could get them for free – just a $2,500 administrative paperwork fee."
West traveled down to Sealey, Texas, to pick up the vehicle, a Caimen built and retrofitted by BAE Systems. With all of the military hardware taken off, the vehicle would be the perfect protection for team members and the price tag was definitely right, the undersheriff said. It holds a driver and five passengers, he said. The "retail" price tag for the vehicle would be $733,000, he said.
"We're into it for about $10,000 total, between the fee and painting it, things like that," West said.
It's a small price to pay to keep team members safe, the undersheriff said.
"This is a game changer, it's a way for us to serve the public and keep our guys safe," West said. "It's a great deal for the county."
