To kill the slugs use a 1 part ammonia and 10 part water spray in and around the clumps. It will also kill aphids.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sammy!
Facts about Sammy
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sammy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
I was found as a little puppy, abandoned along a highway. Humans did not handle me very much when I was little, so I have been learning to trust and enjoy people during the past couple years. Now I am ready to find a gentle, patient household where I can take time to settle in. I would also like a large safe place to run --- I promise I will keep the squirrels in their trees for you! However, I will also chase cats & chickens and anything else that runs. I have already had conservative treatment for light positive heartworms, so will hopefully test negative by the end of this year. Do you have room in your home and heart for a loyal pal?
Other Pets at Wharton County SPOT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sammy, a Wharton Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) for sale in Wharton, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Wharton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wharton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wharton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Retriever (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wharton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Just wondering if Anyone else noticing a sharp decline in overhaul Adsense performance.
Jan was my record month with earnings well into three figures per day. I am notice a sharp decline on all fronts since the beginning of Feb.
Page impressions are right on daily average target (+-5%) while CTR is down by approx 1.2% and �effective CPM� is down by almost 40%.
I have a network of sites (7 sites) on a wide range of topics. The traffic on the sites hasn�t changed much since the begining of Feb +- same number of daily viewers across the network , while earnings continue to slide daily (adsense alone, other aff products i have linked continue to sell well).
I did notice very poor ad targeting on a few pages recently. Pages which used to display very good targeted ads and this may explain the bad CTR and �effective CPM�.
Is there any major adsense update going on?�.anyone else noticing this happening since the start of Feb?
P.S. I did not update any of my content recently to warrent such update.
shopping >>> education >> subjects >> sciences >> chemistry >> chemistry equipment
ok...so that's three wishes.
Of course this would mean we would need to start advertising to the advertisers, and content would be king � again.
It's like having a PR company that has tens of thousands of locations for posters worldwide and knows the target details for each ask its clients where they want to display their ads. It's silly and would make google look like they don't trust their own matching technology.
Adwords is google's single most important source of revenue; they hire people from places like MIT and Harvard to live and breathe this stuff so that advertisers can continue to rely on google to make the right decisions for them.
No offense, but there are so many things wrong with that statement I don't even know where to begin.
Amen to jhood's post.
No, it doesn't. It merely adds another level of targeting. As for the suggestion that offering more advertiser control would be an admission of failure by Google, let's not forget that:
1) Google doesn't claim to target for anything but keywords. So how would it be an admission of failure to let advertisers refine their media selection by their own criteria?
2) Google already gives publishers the ability to block advertisers, so a precedent has been set for letting third parties override the ad-matching algorithm when they aren't satisfied with the results. (The availability of keyword "hints" to at least some premium partners is another example of such human overrides.)
Also, Google needs to be pragmatic if it wants to expand the market for contextual ads while keeping mainstream advertisers and ad agencies from spending their money with more flexible competitors. Does Google regard the current one-size-fits-all version of AdSense as a finished product, or does it regard it as the platform for an entire family of products that meet different customers' needs? Common sense would suggest the latter--and many potential advertisers would, too. :-)
There should be a URL filter for advertisers
see a site you don't like - rmove it
(just like on the publisher side)
As I have said before, Google will NEVER EVER disclose their list of publishers for advertisers to pick and choose through
HughMungus, if you can't figure out what "made for AdSense" means, why don't you ask AdSense Support? It isn't the job of your fellow publishers to help you understand the TOS or the English language unless they're feeling kind and patient towards you (as I'm not).
Someone who's looking to evade the TOS might use the jailhouse lawyer's argument that Google has no way of knowing a site owner's motives, to which a sensible person would reply "So what?" All Google needs to do is apply the "smell test," a.k.a. the "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck" test. Google doesn't even have to tell the publisher why his or her account is being disabled ("invalid clicks" is a nice catchall phrase).
Others might say that Google doesn't have the time or resources to enforce the "made for AdSense" clause in its TOS through manual reviews on a large scale. No problem: Google can use algorithms to identify the most obvious "made for AdSense" sites (such as scraper or ersatz directory sites) and apply higher smart-pricing discounts and/or lower publisher payouts.
Indeed, such an approach could be far more useful to Google than simply removing obvious "made for AdSense" sites from the network. As the network evolves and advertisers have a greater choice of options, there could be an advantage to having virtually unlimited low-quality, run-of-network inventory (the equivalent of the weekly shopping flyers that turn up on your doorstep) for advertisers who just want cheap impressions and clicks and aren't picky about where their ads run. In other words, instead of trying to improve the quality of the network, Google may choose to offer multiple quality levels at different price points. And why not, if the Google Search team can figure out how to keep junk pages from scraper and other "made for AdSense" sites from cluttering the first few pages of its SERPs? Let Yahoo and MSN Search drown in a sea of garbage pages while Google and its lowball advertisers profit.
If google ever implements it, well, suddenly everyone with an adwords account can figure out a lot of things about my sites that I really don't want them to know. Also the scope of the additional domain check would require another db query at google's end for each ad under consideration each time its about to be displayed. That would be costly in terms of processing power required. I don't know how the latter would feature for google but I can imagine it could be enough of a showstopper by itself.
Perhaps google should do the additional thing and see if they can match advertisers to websites directly like affiliate intermediaries do. Imagine you had a google interface where you can 'allow' budget airliner X to advertise on your site, then if they have a special to the czech republic it shows up on relevant pages on your site. That seems like a much simpler way to create great additional business for all of us and meets many the criteria of what we want the block list to do?!
(BTW, worthless referrals don't only come from made-for-AdSense scraper sites; several AdWords Forum members have complained of getting large numbers of clicks with zero conversions from certain "premium partners" of Google.)
Also, advertisers in some narrowly targeted sectors may have a pretty good idea of where they want or don't want their ads to run. For such advertisers, the "value add" of AdSense is the ability to get targeted ads on specific pages with a single media buy.
There are other ways that Google could give more choices to advertisers, e.g.:
1) A tiered network, where advertisers can pay more for hand-vetted sites;
2) The ability to target by sector or category, in addition to targeting by page;
3) The ability to select editorial content only (or e-commerce content only, etc.), as advertisers and their agencies are able to do in the offline media world.
Again, if AdSense is viewed as an advertising platform, not just as an advertising product, it becomes obvious that the AdSense network could be sliced and diced in multiple ways at different price points. And Google doesn't necessarily have to manage or market every option directly to advertisers: all it needs to do is build options and pricing adjustments into its API, so that advertising agencies and other resellers can design AdWords/AdSense media plans that fit their clients' needs.
BTW, I've noticed lately in the code which is generated (copy shortcut from any ad link) that it appears to already be optional for some adword-ers to get the keyword term used and some additional information passed via the link. (Very helpful to see what keywords your pages are being tagged for).
Finally, for those of you still experiencing the continued low CPM this month like us: Do you have a relatively high amount of URLs filtered? We had close to our limit when this started. On Friday last I took out ALL but about 8 and let it ride over the weekend. I don't know if it's just coincidence, since others indicated their CPM went up over the weekend too, but, by Sunday evening our CPM went bckk up about 30% of what it'd lost. I started filtering a few obvious scrapers again Monday, and it started dropping again. Probably just a coincidence, but I was wondering if G may be using the # of URLs filtered against publishers smart pricing formula. BTW our CPM peaked, up 33% Sunday, and has dropped back about 10% a day since.
If you don't know what "made for Adsense" means and you can't define it, yourself, why do you keep using that term?
If Google can't divine websmasters' motives in determining whether a website is "made for Adsense" or not, why do you think you can?
My point is that "made for Adsense" is a term that means absolutely nothing.
Google's Program Policies state that "No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant." That's good enough for me.
On whats made for adsense or not, i will hesitantly chime in. I think both EFV and Humungous have a point, it is hard to judge intention, for example some would say my site is, some would say it isnt.I would say it could look like it to some as i whipped up some of the pages and meant to immediately add tons of content but then everyday im disracted by spam or log anomlies, or just working to pay the rent. So there are quite a few pages with a bare minimum of content, but it was by no means intentional. And on the flip side there are definitely many websites made solely with the intention of making money from Adsense and even the webmasters couldnt deny it so you might kind of both be right.
An easy way to decide whether to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down would be to ask, "Does this site have intrinsic value? Would it have a reason to exist without AdSense?" If you look at the typical scraper site, the answer is clearly "no and no."
In any case, Google has the advantage of not having to worry about misjudging the publisher's intent, since its decisions won't be reviewed by an appeals court. :-)
That's astute. It had never occurred to me that some advertisers would want those impressions. But it is reasonable enough.
I can't help wonder if that idea is further bolstered by the "I seem to get higher-paying ads as my CTR climbs" posts we've seen recently. "[M]ultiple quality levels at different price points" certainly ties that up neatly, conceptually.
Market Watch notes double digit drop in price of ads this quarter, while downgrading Google and Yahoo stocks.

California Governor
Lame-duck role may not suit Schwarzenegger
January 4, 2010
By Michael Rothfeld
No self-respecting politician wants to be one. The phrase itself is utterly demeaning. But with a year left in office, there are signs that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has begun his transformation into a lame duck. This status, defined by the weakness of a politician whose term will soon expire, may be difficult to swallow for a former Mr. Universe known to legions of moviegoers for vanquishing opponents as Hercules, Conan and the Terminator. Even as a pregnant man in "Junior," Schwarzenegger reflected a particular kind of strength.
Letters: No lame ducks?
March 29, 2014
Re "The president and the pope," Opinion, March 26 Doyle McManus wrote a balanced article about President Obama and Pope Francis "trading notes on practical politics" at a Vatican visit. As McManus points out, Francis has the advantage by not having "to worry about midterm elections or a balky Congress. " That being said, perhaps it's time for America to revisit the relevancy of the constitutional amendment that limits the number of times a person can be elected president. This could curtail the balkiness of Congress, by getting things done with prodding from a non-lame-duck president.
Pyongyang duck
October 16, 2009
Paul B. Stares, Paul B. Stares is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the coauthor of "Preparing for Sudden Change in North Korea."
Just a few months ago, the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il, appeared to be a lame duck in both senses of the term. In public appearances, he looked deathly ill after suffering a severe stroke in 2008, and preparations were reportedly underway for one of his sons to succeed him. Fast-forward to today, and Kim is lame no more. Not only has he regained his vigor, judging by his performance during recent visits by Bill Clinton and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, but talk of his succession has also become muted.
Obama, the shrinking imperialist president
February 18, 2014
Jonah Goldberg
Of all the time-honored failings for which we criticize sitting presidents - by "we" I mean pundits, academics and other members of the chattering phylum - two charges stand out: imperialism and shrinkage. Usually it's one or the other. When the president is unpopular or when he's lost control of his agenda or when he just seems inadequate to the demands of the job, the headline "The Incredible Shrinking Presidency" proliferates like kudzu. When the Republicans lost control of Congress in 2006, the Economist proclaimed "The Incredible Shrinking Presidency" of George W. Bush on its cover.

The Riots And Art
July 12, 1992
I was shocked at the fraudulence of the words and images in "Burnout."

Mad about 'em
August 12, 2006
THE prophetic Howard Stern once dubbed KLSX-FM (97.1) "Radio Hindenburg," and Jack Silver's latest brainstorm has finally sent the station crashing down in flames [" 'Breakfast With the Beatles' Dropping Off KLSX's Menu," by Randy Lewis, Aug. 7]. The program director is dropping "Breakfast With the Beatles" after 23 years, but he consoles listeners with these oh-so-sincere words: "I support it 100%." Thanks, Jack, that means a lot! I plan to support KLSX 100% by never tuning in again -- unless I feel a sudden urge to hear the round-the-clock boring infomercials and lame Howard Stern wannabes now fully populating your 100% unlistenable station.
Suzanne Somers should disavow her lame argument against Obamacare
October 30, 2013
Robin Abcarian
Maybe too much sex has addled Suzanne Somers' brain. In a much-mocked essay published by the Wall Street Journal on Monday, the 67-year-old self-help author and star of the 1970s TV show "Three's Company" held forth on what she believes are the evils of Obamacare and the terrible effects it will have on retirees. She didn't really use facts, as such, or even logic, as such. Instead, using personal anecdotes about relatives and friends in Canada, a misremembered newsmagazine headline and apparently fabricated quotes by Stalin and Churchill, she maintained that Obamacare is a "socialist Ponzi scheme." Here's a bit of what she wrote: "Affordable care will allow for preexisting conditions.
Review: Jackie Chan's 'Chinese Zodiac' an action-packed mess
October 17, 2013
By Gary Goldstein
The frantic action-comedy "Chinese Zodiac" may please non-discriminating fans of its co-writer/director/star (and more) Jackie Chan, but will likely leave most other viewers dazed, confused and eagerly watching the clock. The fact that this awkwardly dubbed, stateside version reportedly runs about 15 minutes shorter than the cut released in China may in part account for the movie's convoluted plotting. On the upside, there's now less of this cartoonish mishmash to wade through. Blasting, brawling and close-calling his way through the mayhem is Chan, cheesing it up as a bounty hunter known only as J.C. (which one, er, prays stands for "Jackie Chan")
A lame reason for not drug-testing Asiana pilots
July 9, 2013
By Karin Klein
If a driver were involved in a crash locally and alcohol or drugs could have been an issue, police will usually have the driver tested. It wouldn't matter if he or she were a tourist from another country, or a visitor here to do some corporate business. Why, then, is it different for pilots of airliners that crash? This puzzling dichotomy was revealed Tuesday in a news conference about the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco. According to Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, federal rules call for key crew members involved in an accident to receive drug and alcohol testing.
Movie review: Google crashers join Internet age in 'The Internship'
June 5, 2013
By Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times Film Critic
When Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crashed weddings with such crazy success in 2005, they wanted to get laid. Older and not particularly wiser in "The Internship," the guys now want to get jobs. That's funny. Unfortunately, the comedy is linked to some new-age nonsense about old-school guys finally catching up with the Internet age. It's a one-liner forged into a two-hour joke. At stake is a much-coveted summer internship at Google that could lead to a full-time gig. This sets up a fish-out-water tale with the 40-something goofballs essentially thrown into a school ruled by young nerd geniuses.
Review: Little charm in these 'Mistresses'
June 2, 2013
By Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times Television Critic
ABC's new nighttime soap "Mistresses," which premieres Monday, is pretty much what we've come to expect from any Americanized version of a British television show that isn't "The Office": lame. The BBC version, which debuted here in 2009, was the fairly ridiculous tale of a quartet of female besties, each involved in some manner of semi-illicit romantic intrigue or other - a U.K. and middle-aged "Sex and the City," elevated by a willingness to conjure mood and the inevitable Very Fine British Acting.
For Villaraigosa, no lame-duck treatment in Beijing
May 28, 2013
By Barbara Demick
BEIJING -- Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa might be leaving office at the end of next month, but he nonetheless got a personal audience Tuesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting came in advance of Xi's scheduled trip to California June 7-8 to meet President Obama. Xi, who officially stepped into the presidency in March after his elevation last year to head the Chinese Communist Party, has been holding a flurry of diplomatic meetings in recent weeks, but it is somewhat outside protocol for the president to receive a mayor.
Insider Books on President Reagan
May 17, 1988
Quoting from your paper (Part I, May 10), Regan said of publishing his book now: "They dismissed me--why should I wait?" Two reasons might be: (1) Revenge would not be as sweet, (2) It certainly would not sell as well. What kind of disgruntled patriot, (which he said he was) would defame his President in the midst of crucial arms negotiations . . . because he got canned? This former Marine has lost his true grit. Regan's cop-out, the famous "the public has a right to know," cannot conceal the lack of character which prompted these actions and perhaps explain the reason that he was "dismissed."

Regarding Charles McNulty's article on L.A. actors taking the stage in N.Y. ["Critic's Notebook," May 3]. Why can't the L.A. Times take a wider look at theater in L.A. or Southern California? All you guys ever quote are Gil Cates, an established longtime hack, and Michael Ritchie, who has managed to make his politically correct predecessor look like a visionary. And what successful screen-TV actor would want to risk doing live theater with those lame safety nets? Quality talent shops their next project by how much they respect and can be inspired by the director and that director's track record.
Hollywood Park's ghost of a chance casts pall on Southland racing
May 11, 2013
Bill Dwyre
With its announcement Thursday, Hollywood Park did little to refute the theory that horse racing is a sport in need of hospice. They raced at the Inglewood track Friday, but it wasn't business as usual. Nor will it be the rest of this meeting and the track's final one, which ends Dec. 22. For people in the business, and fans of the sport, the next six months of racing at the place universally known as Hollypark will be an emotional saddle sore. The bulldozers are at the gate.
McManus: Obama's plan to avoid lame-duckery
May 8, 2013
Doyle McManus
For the last two months, President Obama has been mired in Washington's inside game, caught up in backroom congressional politics as he tried unsuccessfully to pass a bill on gun control and nudge Republican senators toward compromise on the budget. But do his losses mean, as some pundits suggest, that, four months into his second term, the president is already a lame duck? The answer may depend on the mood far outside the capital. This week, the president is leaving town to launch what the White House, reverting to campaign mode, is calling a "middle-class jobs and opportunities tour.

I would gladly ride the Shift Bike by James Ma to work. This bike is tech-laden, with its LED lights, electrical gauges and iPod dock. James Ma really went all out here.
I love the look of the Shift Bike in addition to all of the extra goodies that it comes with. A lot of people don't want to ride bikes to work because a car is more comfortable and slightly safer. The Shift Bike remedies that problem with its headlights and turn signals, meaning that you can ride to work in safety and style.

DOD Expands Voting Assistance to Military Absentee Voters, but Challenges Remain
GAO-06-1134T: Published: Sep 28, 2006. Publicly Released: Sep 28, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5559
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The narrow margin of victory in the 2000 presidential election raised concerns about the extent to which members of the military and their dependents living abroad were able to vote via absentee ballot. In September 2001, GAO made recommendations to address variances in the Department of Defense's (DOD) Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). Along with the military services, FVAP is responsible for educating and assisting military personnel in the absentee voting process. Leading up to the 2004 presidential election, Members of Congress raised concerns about efforts under FVAP to facilitate absentee voting. This testimony, which draws on prior GAO work, addresses three questions: (1) How did FVAP's assistance efforts differ between the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections? (2) What actions did DOD take in response to prior GAO recommendations on absentee voting? and (3) What challenges remain in providing voting assistance to military personnel?
For the 2004 presidential election, FVAP expanded its efforts beyond those taken for the 2000 election to facilitate absentee voting by military personnel. FVAP distributed more absentee voting materials and improved the accessibility of its Web site, which includes voting information. Also, FVAP conducted 102 more voting training workshops than it did for the 2000 election, and it provided an online training course for Voting Assistance Officers (VAO). FVAP also designed an electronic version of the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot--an emergency ballot accepted by all states and territories--although its availability was not announced until a few weeks before the election. In assessing its efforts for the 2004 election, using data from its postelection surveys, FVAP attributed increased voter participation rates to an effective voter information and education program. However, in light of low survey response rates, FVAP's estimates and conclusions should be interpreted with caution. DOD has taken actions in response to GAO's prior recommendations regarding voting assistance to servicemembers. In 2001, GAO recommended that DOD revise its voting guidance, improve program oversight, and increase command emphasis to reduce the variance in voting assistance to military servicemembers. Prior to the 2004 presidential election, DOD implemented corrective actions that addressed GAO's recommendations. Specifically, the services revised their voting guidance and enhanced oversight of the military's voting assistance program, and emphasis on voting education and awareness increased throughout the top levels of command within DOD. However, the level of assistance continued to vary at the installations GAO visited. Because the VAO role is a collateral duty and VAOs' understanding and interest in the voting process differ, some variance in voting assistance may always exist. DOD plans to continue its efforts to improve absentee voting assistance. Despite efforts of DOD and the states, GAO's April 2006 report identified two major challenges that remain in providing voting assistance to military personnel: (1) simplifying and standardizing the time-consuming and multi-step absentee voting process, which includes different requirements and time frames for each state; and (2) developing and implementing a secure electronic registration and voting system. FVAP attempted to make the absentee voting process easier by using its Legislative Initiatives program to encourage states to simplify the multi-step process and standardize their absentee voting requirements. However, the majority of states have not agreed to any new initiatives since FVAP's 2001 report on the 2000 election. FVAP is limited in its ability to affect state voting procedures because it lacks the authority to require states to take action on absentee voting initiatives. For the 2004 election, FVAP developed an electronic registration and voting experiment. However, it was not used by any voters due to concerns about the security of the system. Because DOD did not want to call into question the integrity of votes that would have been cast via the system, they decided to shut the experiment down prior to its use by any absentee voters. Some technologies--such as faxing, e-mail and the Internet--have been used to improve communication between local jurisdictions and voters.

When the dust cleared it was Martin Cardenas and his M4 Monster Energy Suzuki that rode to his sixth and maybe best win of the 2010 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike by AMSOIL season. Certainly for Cardenas, winning today at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca had special meaning but it is the way that he won that also made for another thrilling day of racing in this competitive series.

Uncommon Carriers
Spend time on the road with drivers, as ProSales did recently, and you'll get a new perspective on what's happening with dealers today.
What does your mind's eye see when you imagine your dealership? Perhaps it's the big sign out front, or the neatness of the pallets, or the shine on the showroom floors. But ask someone who drives the trucks that regularly bring goods to your yard, and he's more likely to mention other things: The tightness of the turns in your facility. The width of your lanes. And how long of a wait there is in the left-turn lane before traffic relents and he can roll through the gates.
Spend time on the road with drivers, as ProSales did recently, and you'll get a new perspective on what's happening with dealers today. Haulers for building material distributors arguably see more stores, and have witnessed more changes at those dealers, than any other group in construction supply. LBM logistics managers often regard drivers as sales ambassadors, a status that many drivers relish–even to the point of trying to sell the pallets of chipboard that loaders put on their trailer in winter to help weigh it down on icy morning roads.
The drivers that ProSales accompanied on their routes this summer carried the same demeanor as ship's captains or airline pilots: They commanded that truck and its trailer full of goods, refusing to roll out until they were satisfied the rig was safe. They also see a stark connection between what they do and the fate of their company.
"If my truck is empty, my wallet is empty," declares Randy Henderson, a driver for Huttig Building Products in Washington state. "If that truck is full, I'm bringing food home."
Larry Almaas has driven for Huttig and its predecessor for 27 years. "I enjoy the customers, getting to know them," he says. "I also enjoy the freedom. Once I leave, I'm my own boss."

Half a decade ago, big builders and assorted others dismissed distributors as a needless link in the supply chain. Those were the days when carloads of goods would fly out of the yard as fast as they arrived, and dealers kept storage bins full because so many products were on allocation. Then again, not long before that, some distributors would ship out a product out only when they could fill a truck that was going your way.
Today, builder demand is so low and dealers' need to conserve cash so high that distributors have become the dealer's de facto storage yard. That has been made possible by increases in the number and consistency of routes that distributors serve, as well as the speed with which they can process a request. "The customer has to have absolute predictability and absolute quality" from its distributor in order for that company to succeed, says Paul Rust, district manager of Huttig's facilities in the Pacific Northwest.
Just-in-time product delivery adds to many services that distributors have long done for dealers. They include job-lot packaging, training sales reps, providing product knowledge sessions, drafting engineered wood floor plans, and helping sell products to pro customers. Huttig is even offering a take-off service to its Northwest customers. We've reached the point where, rather than being superfluous, distributors are so closely tied to a dealer's operations that it's getting hard to tell where one link in the supply chain ends and another begins.
At its core, though, distribution is still about the logistics of bringing building materials to your store. And while logistics might not quite be the black art that UPS hails in its ads, it's not all that simple, either.
For one thing, it's very labor-intensive: Up to 60% of the payroll at distributors goes to receiving, storing, picking, loading, and delivering goods. In an ever-shrinking time window, an army of people must sort through a mountain of goods (Do it Best's warehouses hold 67,000 SKUs) to find exactly the right products for your order, put them on a pallet, and encase the goods in shrink wrap. "There's much more emphasis now on product quality," notes Brian Nunes, director of operations at ONEtree Distribution. "Something that used to be able to be sold 10 years ago–where there's nothing really wrong with it but there's a slight dent–doesn't fly anymore."
Once the goods are bundled, the complications continue. Loaders must place pallets and unwrapped items onto a trailer in such a way that: a) the pallets for the first stops are on the outside of the trailer and the last stops are inside; b) there's slightly heavier stuff on the left side of the trailer to counteract the crown of the road; c) the goods are placed on a side where the fork lift driver in a tightly configured dealership can grab them; and d) the overall weight is balanced and legal. No wonder several people interviewed described the process as being like filling in a jigsaw puzzle–but without a picture.
Distribution mixes the old and new in several ways. People rather than machines still do the picking, but computer systems help route them efficiently through the warehouse. Likewise, computerized mapping systems assist dealers in figuring out the most efficient delivery routes, but they're not totally reliable; early versions failed to notice when a road was interrupted by the Puget Sound, for instance. Even today, they don't know which stretches of the Interstate will get backed up at certain times. That's when humans trump machines.
One thing that definitely has changed is the ever-shrinking number of hours distributors need to fulfill an order. In 2007, more than half of BlueLinx's facilities required you reach them before noon in order to get a package the next day. Now 90% of them let you call as late as 5 p.m. As a result, now more than ever, the magic that is distribution takes place after dark.

Based on 13 reviews
Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I retained Eric last year and couldnt be happier with the results. He maintained me informed throughout the process, he was quick to respond to my emails...I was so happy with the outcome, I referrred him to help two of my friends with their cases...and they were also very happy. Thanks Eric!
I contacted Mr. Matheney for representation to help me Expunge an old charge on my record. He kept in constant contact with me throughout the process and handled everything in a professional and timely matter. He was very positive and he had complete knowledge of the process and the outcome was everything and more he had advised me on the first consult. I am very satisfied with his service and highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney for representation.
I wanted to write this review for people in need of a criminal defense attorney. I remember consulting with approximately 10 different criminal defense attorneys in Miami and I ultimately decided to hire attorney Matheny.
Attorney Matheny treated me as a "human being" not a criminal, and trust me you need someone who will fight for you ( which is exactly what attorney Matheny did for me). It has been approximately two weeks since my charges were dropped and I finally realize that I got my life back!.
I am writing this because I now know how serious and scary it is to face criminal charges and I don't wish it on my worst enemy.
My advice: if in trouble, do not risk your life with a public defender. There is NO way you can live a normal life with a criminal record, this is not the place to risk. During our first meeting, attorney Matheny evaluated my case and gave me his honest opinion about the "most" possible outcome in a realistic manner. I am so grateful for his help, I got my life back. I remember the person who recommended him told me "Eric Matheny will be on top of your case". I now see how true that was.
You owe it to yourself to at least meet with him.
I don't know where to begin. Eric Matheny is an exceptional lawyer! He has processed my case with attention to detail. I had an indefinite restraining order put against me and needed it off my record because it was negatively affecting me. I got pulled over and it would come up on my record and for job clearance also. He called me multiple times during the whole process, even when waiting for a court date. He was very well prepared on the court date, and an excellent speaker. If you are looking for a true professional call Eric Matheny.
Attorney Matheny did a terrific job when my son and two friends were caught in an unfortunate situation while on spring break. He demonstrated great knowledge of the process, has familiarity with the individuals involved in the prosecutors office, was flexible with tight schedules, was responsive, and effectively communicated with the defendants.
Case was dropped and handled expungement process.
We should all hope we don't get caught in the apparatus but if you do, I do not hesitate to offer my highest endorsement for Eric.
I called Mr. Matheney for representation and resolution of an injunction that was taken out against me about 15 years ago. I was unaware that it was a permanent injunction and that it would affect my professional licensing and background checks , forever. Mr. Matheney answered my call personally, took all of the information and prepared the necessary papers to petition the court for relief.
During the interval between the filing and the court date he called me several times to update status.
I traveled to Miami, Florida (as that was the court of jurisdiction) and we proceeded to appear in front of the judge, Mr. Matheney was the consummate professional and he presented the argument with the facts he had gathered. The court ruled in my favor and dismissed the injunction.
This may seem like a very simple matter to the uninitiated but It is really a very complicated and he handled everything like a true expert.
I contacted Eric late in the evening just before Thanksgiving, I learned I had a bench warrant isseud for my arrest many years earlier. From our first conversation I felt comfortable and appreciated his honesty. During the entire process he called me more often than I called him. he kept well informed and was understanding to the fact that while it was misdemeanor offense for which I was charged it was a big deal to me.
While I hope I never have the need for his services as a criminal attorney, I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves involved with the criminal justice system.
If you're looking for an attorney who will be honest and who fill defend you vigorously then Eric is the attorney you need to hire.
I had two charges against me; one in the distant past, and one more recent. I found Eric online, and from the first phone conversation, he was extremely helpful and well-informed. I hired him to expunge a charge, and also to represent me in court. He was confident that my case would be dismissed, and fortunately he was right. Now, he will be expunging the charge, and I will be in good standing once again :) Thanks Eric for being so understanding, positive, and professional...
I've known Eric Matheny now for several months and let me tell you he is the BEST!!!.He knows what he's talking about and he is well respected in the court.If you are looking for an attorney to hire do not hesitate to call him.
Eric Matheny has a pitbull like tenacity...he doesn't give up and he doesn't quit until he has won the case even the impossible case. Eric has a never give never surrender mindset and a straight forward attitude that I believe separates him from the pak. I definitely would recommend him to anyone seeking a top-notch, class act attorney.

Winter and snow seem to be the theme of my last few posts!
So many people I know are either stuck in snowy weather or voluntarily trekking to snowy weather to enjoy the holidays.
If I were stuck in the snow...I'd want to be stuck in this cabin. If I were voluntarily heading to the snow, I'd want to head to this cabin.
Oooooooohhhh friend FF just built a gorgeous 8,000 square foot house outside of Vail...it is GORGEOUS. Am hoping some day I'll put a bit of it on COCOCOZY. I think it is one of those ski in/ski out places. She sent me a photo and it looks like a stunning lodge! I can't wait to visit. She and her family are there now!
Surrounded by mounds of white snow in a little tiny glen this cozy cabin is perfect...I would love to spend hours in front of that stone fireplace! Wouldn't you?
Oh, I also love the canoe hanging from the ceiling. I should put a canoe in my little cottage in the Hollywood Hills and see what people think!
Happy Tuesday!
P.S. Go to COCOCOZY TWITTER and see my big news, I tweeted about it last night...tweet along with me and let me know what you think!

Where did you see AscB as an available function for vbscript?
I think that might be your problem.
If this post contains any code, I may or may not have tested it. It's probably just example code, so no getting knickers in a bunch over a typo, OK? If it doesn't have basic error checking in it, such as object detection or checking if objects are null before using them, put that in there. I'm giving examples, not typing up your whole app for you. You run code at your own risk.

Google's Navi-Software for Mobiles with Android 2.0
Google Maps Navigation provides Android 2.0 users with a free and comfortable navigation software. Every user? No. The software is currently available in the USA only, and for one mobile.
Still in beta, Google Maps Navigation, like most of Google's beta software, is stable and set to replace the quite basic navigation solution Google Maps for Mobile. Map updates are available for free from the net.
As with other navigation software, a computer voice guides the driver through the surrounding scenery. The trick is that the driver can steer the software by voice-control. Just speaking the name of the destination is enough. The complete address is not necessary.
Besides simple directions, the software will provide information about restaurants, gas stations and hotels along the way. Street View images can also enhance the journey, where available. A further mode takes the local traffic situation into account, enabling drivers to avoid congestion.
It all sounds very promising, but until now the software, even in the US, will only run on the droid Motorola mobile based on Android 2.0. The HTC Hero is however about to migrate and further mobiles are sure to follow. Dates for an official European launch are still unknown. This YouTube video shows how the software works.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

increase something 55 percent, but if the starting number was really tiny,
it could be less than another thing increased by 3 percent with a much
bigger base.
what are the whole numbers, not just the percent change?

You are right that Berlin did not "hurt" anyone directly. But the point

This is not about math or the free market. This is about politics.
1. Germany is growing at 3.4 percent of GDP this year.
2. Germany is asking all eurozone governments to implement "made in
berlin" austerity measures.
3. Germany is increasing imports from China at a 35 percent clip
(whereas most countries in Eurozone growth is at 4-5 percent clip, which
means it is not recovering as fast from the decrease in 2008-2009)
4. Rest of Eurozone looks at 1., looks at 2. and looks at 3. And
Eugene's question here is great, "what can they do about it?" Nothing,
but bitch and moan and potentially start ignoring point 2.

wanted Germany to buy more shit from them, the increases of exports

German statistical unit Destatis released the figures for
exports and imports in the first half of 2010 that shows
German exports booming, in large part the story behind the
expected 3.4 percent GDP growth that Germany is set to achieve
this year -- a monstrous number considering the devastation of
the economic crisis in Europe.
Here is how the export numbers break down in terms of increase
in percentage over first half of 2009 (year on year):
EU-27 -- up by 12 percent
Eurozone -- up by 10 percent
USA -- up by 14.1 percent
China -- up by 55.5 percent
Russia -- up by 18.3 percent
Japan -- up by 15 percent
Here are the imports, again compared to first half of 2009
(year on year):
EU-27 -- up by 11.7 percent
Eurozone -- up by 10.2 percent
China -- up by 35.6 percent
US -- up by 0.8 percent (LOL)
Russia -- up by 38.3 percent
Japan -- up by 16.1 percent

The story indicates that the Germans are increasing both their
exports and imports from non-EU countries, especially China
with which the trade is just skyrocketing. Meanwhile, they
are not at all increasing trade with fellow Europeans, they
are especially not importing from Eurozone member states.
Remember that this was a contentious issue for the French and
Club-Med. They all said that Germany should import more and
buy more of their stuff. Not only is that not happening, but
Germany is instead importing more from China and Russia, even
Japan! And not only that, but Germany is not buying more of
their stuff while growing at 3.4 percent for 2010 and while it
is asking them to implement "Made in Berlin" austerity
The seeds of EU disunity are being sowed by these numbers, in
my opinion.
A more longer term question is whether Germany's trade
dependence on Eurozone could errode as it finds new markets in
the developing countries like China, India and Brazil... Here
are the numbers the last time we talked about this (note how
small non-EU trade really is):

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
Sometimes my daughter will eat her food, but other days no one can make her open her mouth, even if she is really hungry. I end up mixing the food with milk and she drinks it all. I do not want her to get used to it.
Although I'm not sure how old your daughter is, it's perfectly normal for children -- especially toddlers -- to have times where they're more interested in exploring their environment (or doing other things!) than eating. When children go through a growth spurt, it's likely they eat more than they would normally; on the flip side, when their growth slows, so might their appetite.
Your daughter may simply be acting her age, and/or going through a period of slower growth. I agree that it's not the best idea to mix food into her milk (especially if you're mixing it in a bottle) because it's very important for your child to learn to chew different types of foods and to learn age-appropriate feeding skills. During meals and snack times, try to offer real food before giving milk.
If your daughter is generally growing well (your pediatrician can determine this based on growth charts), provide her with healthy meals and snacks at set times each day. Eat together as a family as often as possible and minimize distractions (like turning off the TV). Creating a pleasant mealtime environment, teaching your child to eat while seated at a table, and speaking positively (rather than pressuring or forcing her to eat) will hopefully set the stage for more enjoyable meals.
The answers from our experts are for educational purposes only. Please always refer to your child's pediatrician and mental health expert for more in-depth advice.

Time Out says
Tue Apr 4 2006
This movie of the late Jonathan Larson's hit musical has been a long time coming. When his Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning AIDS-era update of Puccini's 'La Bohème', set in New York's East Village, opened in the mid '90s it was already a slight period piece, and Columbus's widescreen version – with many of the original cast – seems more so, not least since the Brownstones from which his outsider community face eviction have since fallen to Mayor Giuliani's bulldozers. It's high-volume and relentlessly high-octane, with Columbus presenting much of it as if shot on the camcorder of one of the principles, presumably to reflect a sense of 'edge'. Frankly, the honestly held but self-conscious treatment of a multitude of themes from artistic integrity, through poverty, sexual identity to drug addiction and the ravages of AIDS never runs deep. There are some nicely choreographed large set-pieces and the odd touching scene, but little else to shout about.Author: Wally Hammond

Filtering cancerous cells from your blood, with jellyfish-inspired DNA tentacles November 14, 2012 at 12:07 pm
The holy grail for treating "liquid tumors," or cancers comprised of circulating blood cells, is to fish them out with some sort of microfluidic sieve. A new device developed by MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts uses short segments of DNA attached to long "jellyfish" tentacles to snare rogue lymphoblast cells.

Imagine that you're an alien from outer space. You've left behind your boring, conformist dimension known as Conforma and traveled across time, space and other dimensions to arrive at Planet Earth, and then land in a little out-of-the-way seaside town called DeSpray Bay. More specifically, Tommy Cadle's lighthouse hideaway.
That's right! Aliens have crashed into the top of the lighthouse tower and made themselves at home. Unfortunately, the earth boy living there was none-too-keen on this house invasion. When Tommy woke to be greeted by a big, slobbering Gumpers, he did what any kid would do when faced with being devoured by a pink, fuzzy, lovable alien: he ran and fell off the top of his lighthouse!
It looked like this was going to be a very short TV series. And then, Dinko to the rescue! The little green fella raced down the side of the lighthouse (little green fellas can do that, you know) and caught Tommy before he became a Cadle pancake. Thus, a friendship was born - and we're not talking about the one between Swanky and himself. A special bond formed between human and alien; a sentimental and emotional attachment that remains solid, even if one can sometimes drive the other crazy.
Once things settled down (i.e. Tommy realized that no one wanted to eat him yet), Swanky took one look at Tommy's rusty, broken-down television and bare wooden bench and did a little bit of redecorating: plush chairs, plasma-screen TV, hover couch and all the comforts Swanky craves. Swanky believes the lighthouse is perfect for an alien who expects nothing but the best. Gumpers feels totally safe in the lighthouse. Flip has an entire lighthouse to play in and Scruffy has a giant backyard to do whatever it is Scruffy does.
And Dinko? Dinko has friends but does he truly have a best friend? That's where Tommy comes in. Determined to have not just another friend, but a best friend, Dinko wants Tommy to be that special one. And odds are, if the aliens don't accidentally disintegrate the lighthouse first. Tommy and Dinko are going to be best friends for life... or at least until the aliens blow up the planet.

Cuvier's gazelle (Gazella cuvieri) is also known as the edmi and is native to Africa. Its range includes Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, through the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa. It prefers a habitat within stony or sandy hills and plateaus, but it will reside pine forests or recovering forests. Some experts do not classify it within the typical gazelle genus, but in the Trachelocele...
