Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
You most likely have been using another IDE for years and you have your own style of coding and your own preferences for colors and formatting. Luckily, CFBuilder gives you a great deal of control over how your code is displayed and how the editor responds to your actions. In this chapter, I'm going to show you how to get things just the way you like them. To get started, I'm going to show you how to manage your editor profiles. You can get to the editor profiles by choosing the Adobe ColdFusion Builder and then Preferences. On the Windows side, you'll choose Window and then Preferences.
Once inside the Preferences, expand the ColdFusion node and choose Editor Profiles. The Editor Profiles store all of your existing information for colors, code assist, keyboard shortcuts, basically anything to do with how the editor works. Now ColdFusion Builder comes with several default Editor Profiles. The first one is, of course, Default, which is how ColdFusion Builder comes straight out of the box. They also have Editor Profiles for CFEclipse and Dreamweaver, which have common CFEclipse and Dreamweaver keyboard shortcuts, as well as code coloring.
As you can see, I already have an option in my profile list called Custom. As soon as you start changing any of the settings, it will automatically create a custom profile for you. Now if I want to create a new profile, I can click the Create New Profile button and give my profile a name. In this case, we're going to call it Dan. I'll click OK and now we can see I have this new active profile. Now, it has inherited all of the settings from the default CFBuilder profile. I can then expand the Editor Profiles section and start playing with all these settings and they'll automatically get saved under this Dan profile.
If you decide for whatever reason you want to remove a profile, just select it from this list and click Remove. It'll ask you if you're sure you want to delete it, and click OK, and it goes back to the Default profile. So, let's create that one again. Again, we'll call it Dan and there we go. Now that you know how to create and manage Editor Profiles, you can start customizing those preferences in the next few videos.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.

Wireless Card not Compatible?
It works just fine on my Windows partition of my HDD, and also works fine for our Macintosh computers in the house. I've tried looking for drivers but none of them seem to be Linux-orientated. Do any of you use this card or have any solutions? I'd HATE to resort to having to get an Ethernet wire, and even though I have an ethernet card, my router is down in the basement, which would mean drilling a hole in the floor somewhere to get the cord downstairs...
Help, PLEASE!

Two weeks for something that heavy on oak shouldn't be a problem. I put a beer that was much lighter and far more "delicate" on oak for two weeks (4 oz. of light toast oak) and it is no where close to overpowering. I'd think the flavors of the oak will fit with what you've described so well it should work great.
If a beer is done, it is done, and it doesn't really matter what the FG of the beer is. My OG 1.170 5 year aging barelywine for my 50th birthday in a couple more years finished at 1.040 and that was with two different yeasts, a ton of oxygen, and lots of nutrients. The beer ain't going any lower. And at 17.3 % abv, it doesn't really need to. So I'm not worried about it being high, because it's finished. That's what you need to make sure, not what the FG of something is, but if it is truly finished or not.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Good advice, good advice. Holy cow, now that's a beer. Next time, I'll mash lower. Either way, from a random recipe cobbled together from various Northern Brewer stout recipes and my own imagination, through blind luck I have something that tastes exactly like I wanted. I'm very pleased, and can't wait until I can enjoy it (hopefully while it's still cold outside). The fear of exploding bottles is over, and all I have to do is wait and enjoy the sweet results.
If you are worried about bottle bombs, bottle up a plastic bottle to use as your coal mine canary - it will get rock hard and the nubs on the bottom will invert if the beer is getting over carbed. If this happens you can pop the caps on the rest of the bottles to relieve the pressure.

Mark Strand was awarded the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1993.
"Mark Strand remains committed to the task of negotiating, in verse, between desire and despair, possibility and fulfillment... What is new is the confidence of his speech, the extraordinary clarity with which he addresses any poet's biggest themes: love and death and aging and change." - David Lehman, Chicago Tribune
"Mark Strand's stunning new book-length poem comes to us as a timely reminder of the great power and solace of American poetry at its very best. Across the landscape of the imagination, Strand sets in motion a familiar pilgrim of the self and spirit, a seeker whose origins reside in Dante, Wordsworth and Leopardi... It is a book so deeply compelling, so heartbreaking and so elegantly written that it arrives as the fulfillment of Strand's long and distinguished career." - David St.John, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"The overarching plot of Dark Harbor is the poet's counterlife in art, from his initial departure from the enclosure of family and home, to his journey through a place of darkness and uncertainty, to his final sense of safe harbor within the community of other poets." - Christopher Benfey, The New Republic

We built our house 2 years ago and used this home forum for ideas and feedback from other owner/builders. We could tell from the posts the people who used what brands and styles and had great confidence in their opinions. One person in the HVAC forum gave great advice on how to pick a good HVAC installer and the questions to ask. We found the best installer and tech you could ask for and following the advice I chose Goodman, worst mistake I made in building our house. I have replaced coils and accumulators in under 2 years and have paid thousands of dollars in repairs. we were not told of their labor warranty until it was too late. They could care less about their product and their customer service is abysmal. Please read the reviews before you install your systems |

TRUSTe Releases U.S. Consumer Findings from 2012 Online and Mobile Privacy Perceptions Report
Compared with 2011, 60% of Adults Are More Concerned About Online Privacy Today; 58% Do Not Like Targeted Advertising; 85% Won't Download Mobile Apps They Don't Trust
San Francisco, CA - July 16, 2012 - Now celebrating 15 years of privacy innovation, TRUSTe, the leading privacy management solutions provider, today released the findings from its 2012 U.S. Online and Mobile Privacy Perceptions Report. Conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of TRUSTe between May 31 and June 6, 2012 among 1,033 U.S. adults and 554 U.S. smartphone users, ages 18 and older, the report shows online privacy remains a top concern with enormous business impact across all online and mobile platforms. Ninety four percent of consumers consider privacy an important issue, and 58 percent expressly indicate they 'do not like' online behavioral advertising (OBA). Among smartphone users, 42 percent identify privacy and security as top concerns, and an overwhelming majority (85 percent) say they won't download mobile apps that they don't trust.
Also significant, the findings show that 60 percent of adults feel more concerned about their online privacy today than a year ago. While this rising level of concern shows a continued need for businesses to aggressively address privacy issues, the survey also reveals that consumer reliance on certifications and seals is growing. Forty nine percent of consumers now check for independent privacy certification or seals (up from 41 percent in 2011) – a clear sign that consumers are becoming more aware and diligent in looking after their privacy online.
"Big data is exploding, causing monumental changes in the way that personal information can be accessed and used online – through more pervasive and powerful mobile devices, emerging cloud services and the rapid growth of online behavioral advertising," said Chris Babel, CEO of TRUSTe. "Our 2012 findings show that managing consumer concerns through good privacy practices must remain on the forefront in order to stem mistrust. With increased understanding about choices, the survey also shows that consumers react more positively to the potential value of new online technologies, such as OBA."
The survey shows that negative feelings about OBA significantly decrease (from 69 to 40 percent) when users who believe otherwise are assured that their personally identifiable information (PII) is NOT linked to their browsing behavior. Also important, 61 percent (up from 55 percent in 2011) are inclined to do more business with a site that gives opt out choices for OBA.
However, OBA continues to be a source of worry among online adults, resulting in many 'opting out' altogether or simply refusing to do business online, findings that emphasize the continued need for more transparency and education.
General Findings
The TRUSTe 2012 report reveals that consumer concerns regarding online privacy are not slowing down and, in fact, are increasing compared to 2011.
- 94 percent think privacy is an important issue, with 55 percent saying that online privacy is a really important issue they think of often;
- 69 percent say that they trust themselves most when it comes to protecting their own personal information online (up sharply from 45 percent in 2011); and
- Consumers take a variety of precautions to protect their privacy online, such as:
- 76 percent do not allow companies to share their personal information with a third party (up from 67 percent in 2011);
- 35 percent say that they have stopped doing business with a company or using their website because of privacy concerns; and
- 90 percent say they use browser controls to protect privacy, including deleting cookies (up from 84 percent in 2011).
OBA-specific Findings
- 40 percent say a targeted advertisement has made them feel uncomfortable;
- 50 percent will opt out of OBA to manage their privacy (when possible) – almost double from 27 percent in 2011;
- 83 percent say they're aware of the OBA concept when provided with a written description (up from 70 percent in 2011);
- 53 percent (52 percent in 2011) believe personally identifiable information is attached to browsing behavior.
Mobile Concerns Continue to Grow
Trust continues to be a top concern when it comes to using mobile apps, with a whopping 85 percent of respondents saying they won't download an app if they do not trust it. Additionally, only 14 percent believe that mobile app stores only make available apps that safeguard their privacy. Also, while nearly one in three mobile users (31 percent) report that they would share information in exchange for free apps, users overall are slightly less willing to make this exchange compared to a year ago.
Behavioral advertising continues to raise warning signals for mobile users and remains highly unpopular. While 62 percent of smartphone users are aware advertisers track mobile activities for targeted ads, only a miniscule 1 percent likes it. Additionally, less than 10 percent of smartphone users are willing to share specific location information, web surfing behavior, their home address or list of contacts with mobile apps.
Privacy Certification and Seals Strengthen Consumer Confidence
In addition, the survey shows that privacy certifications and seals strengthen consumer confidence and trust levels for websites. Consumer awareness of the DAA's AdChoices Icon has nearly tripled since 2011 when it was first introduced (14% in 2012 vs. 5% in 2011 and today 37 percent of consumers report that they feel more positively about OBA when presented a sample ad with the icon. Awareness of the TRUSTe seal also jumped significantly, with 72 percent of consumers now familiar with the TRUSTe logo (up from 64 percent in 2011).
Conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of TRUSTe, the surveys were completed within the U.S. between May 31 and June 6, 2012. A total of 1,033 surveys were conducted among U.S. adults 18 and older and 554 smartphone users ages 18 and older for mobile data. The online surveys are not based on probability sample and therefore no estimate or theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Wi-fi antennas
The basic technology behind antenna systems has not significantly changed in the last 50 years. Sure, antennas have become more efficient because of improved modeling and manufacturing techniques, but in the end they work the same way. In recent years, the introduction of wireless networks allows users to work anywhere within a defined location. The technology behind wireless networks changes almost yearly, but one thing remains the same: the antenna.
All wireless networking products currently available can operate on one of four frequency ranges: 902MHz to 928MHz, 2.4GHz to 2.483GHz, 5.15GHz to 5.35GHz or 5.725GHz to 5.825GHz. These frequency bands are also known as the Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. As the name implies, this service was intended for certain commercial uses; however, 20 years ago the rules were amended to accommodate other unlicensed services, providing they use some form of spread spectrum modulation and have prescribed very specific limits with regard to power level and antenna gain. The FCC rules pertaining to this service can be found under part 15.
The maximum power level permitted on the ISM bands is 1W; however, that maximum power level could be as low as 0.25W, depending on the frequency range, the spread spectrum technique and number of channels utilized.
Under the ISM rules, antenna gain is limited to 6dBi for single point-to-multipoint use in all bands under normal point-to-multipoint use. If the gain of the antenna exceeds this limit then the output power must be reduced proportionally by the same amount as the gain.
The Rules also permit the operation of ISM as point-to-point or fixed operation in the 2.4GHz and 5.7GHz bands. They state that if the antenna is directionalized, the output power of the transmitter is reduced by 1dB for each 3dB of gain over the 6dB limit in the 2.4GHz band or no power reduction is necessary at all for the same application in the 5.7GHz band. Utilization of the 5.7GHz band is ideal if you are trying to connect two or more facilities (i.e. a studio to a transmitter) over long distances because the use of high gain dishes is permitted assuming there is a line-of-sight between them.
Types of antennas
There are several types of antennas available for wireless LAN applications depending on your specific coverage requirements. One of the basic principles to which any antenna conforms is called reciprocity. The reciprocity theorem essentially states that an antenna will transmit or receive electromagnetic energy equally when operating at the same frequency and amplitude. Keeping this in mind, here are the primary characteristics of antennas to consider in your system design.
Gain. The gain of an antenna determines the effective radiated power (ERP) of the transmitted signal. ERP is calculated as follows: Radiated Power (dBm) = Transmitter Power (dBm) - Coax/Connector loss (dB) + Antenna Gain (dBi).
Using reciprocity, the expected received signal at the antenna input can be calculated by substituting "Transmitter Power" for "Receiver Sensitivity (dBm)"
With regard to wireless LAN design, the received gain at the router or access point is probably more important than the transmit gain, considering the relatively lower power levels, antenna characteristics of the typical wireless network interface device, and the user's ability to move freely within a facility.
The gain can be measured relative to either an isotropic or dipole antenna. Isotropic antennas are theoretical in nature and considered to have a uniform gain of 0dBi in all directions. Dipole antennas are considered "real" and through testing are shown to exhibit a gain of 2.14dBi.
Directionality. This is defined as the ratio of maximum radiated power (in the lobe) to the average radiated power (over the entire sphere). Most wireless routers and access points use non-directional antennas, which can easily be replaced with external antennas. There are several good reasons to use directional antennas in a building. For instance, access points placed in the corner of a building waste a large percentage of signal in areas not needed to serve users. In this case it would make sense to install directional antennas suited to cover the proper area. Other cases might include areas where interference is prevalent or there is a need to radiate more signals in a particular direction to overcome an obstacle, etc.
In wireless LAN applications, directional antennas generally take the form of the familiar yagi or dish, but less known around the broadcast industry is the patch antenna.
Patch antennas use a radiator consisting of a half-wave patch suspended over a larger backplane. This forms a directional antenna with a pattern very similar to a yagi, which also uses smaller director elements in front of the radiator to tighten the pattern.
Polarization. This is determined by the physical orientation of the antenna element. Common polarizations include vertical (most utilized), horizontal and circular. Many of the wireless access points include 1, 2 or 3 standard rubber ducky antennas oriented into unlimited angles.
I mentioned that some wireless LAN routers and access points use more than one antenna, and these systems utilize some form of spread spectrum modulation scheme subject to multipath interference. By separating two receive antennas by a small distance, the effects of multipath can be reduced or eliminated.
Someone figured out that if two receive antennas are spaced about a wavelength or more, only the reflections will arrive at different times on each antenna and usually one of the antennas will not be affected by multipath. The receiver internally decides which antenna to use based on signal quality. This technique is called diversity reception and is widely used in commercial and military applications. Cellular telephone networks use this extensively. It is also interesting to note that with data communication applications, diversity can also be applied to transmitted signal. Since data is transmitted in both directions, the router or access point can decide which antenna to transmit on and make that selection based on the level of dropped packets.

So, I just received these two hostas and the poor box was one of those triangular tube boxes and it was in a boomerang shape when I got it :( Opened up the box and this is what I found: I have contacted the shipper, of course, but other than that, any suggestions for these two? I'm thinking splint! Poor guys... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, UPS is not being kind to hosta growers this year. I would splint. You'll probably have to keep them splinted all season, I would think. Mine turned the corner, by the way, and look much better. bk |
I have the perfect wooden skewers to splint, but which tape should I use, do you think? The painter's tape will fall off too early, I need something to last all season. Maybe that medical tape, but what an eye sore that would be. |
I have some green florist tape that I sometimes use for stuff in the yard. I use it to tie up vines, mostly. But I did use some of it on my wilted hosta. It does not stick, but stretches a little for growth. My other thought was electrical tape, which is black. It might "disappear" since it's black. I don't know how it would hold up to the weather, though. Another thought is duck tape. They have it all colors at Walmart. Let us know how it goes. bk Another thought came to me just as I hit "post". Those waterproof band-aids might work. I know they do hold up to water and stay stuck a long time. They're called "tough strips". They would be noticeable, but would at least be apropos. |

I would just cut them off and let the roots grow and develop stronger for next year. But that's just me. It would be the same, if they were eaten by the deer, they always come back. Even though replacement by the supplier seems appropriate here. |

if you cut them.. you cut them.. JUST BELOW teh bend ... not to the ground ... the petioles will photosynthesize ... if tape.. tape below.. and above the crack ... and up near the leaf surface... and make it stand up on its own with a stake ... i thought triangle boxes was the post office ... who is to contact.. go talk to them ... but.. whats your loss??? .. but they dont need to know that.. lol ... whats the seller say??? ken ps: another example of nitro blasted.. hyper elongated stems ... even w/o damage... they would have been a 1/4 of the size next year ... where the root masses equivalent to the greenery above??? .. and even if you cut them back.. they will be 1/4 next year ... hmmmmm |
I assume nitro means nitrogen. What does blasted mean? Assuming that means they have been fertilized with lots of nitrogen, why couldn't you take advantage of it by starting on root stimulator? Couldn't you make up a gallon of root stimulator and apply it about once a month until 9/1 for most folks and maybe 10/1 for Mocc and me? Wouldn't that greatly improve the odds of having a really nice hosta next year? You have all those really nice big leaves to provide photosynthesis for the summer. It makes sense to me. What's the downside? bk |
If you havent already thrown it out, get some pictures of the damaged box, too. It could come in handy for a reimbursment from UPS (for the seller if they are replacing them, or for yourself if you pursue it with them?) As exciting as new hosta arrivals are, it is such a shame to be met with damaged goods! Whats the name on that blue? |
Jadie - One Who Has Not Yet Been Named :) Hopefully, I'll come up with something cooler than that. Maybe Lord Voldemort, LOL Currently unnamed blue seedling. |
I would call the nursery and tell them what happened. He probably will send you new ones. Recently I got 8 hostas in two of those boxes taped together from the same nursery, and those hosta petioles were not broken, and they are doing fine now being potted up with roots in water. In several years I always received unbroken hostas from this nursery in those boxes, so it is UPS' fault, UPS might reimburse the nursery. Bernd |
I didn't think you could bend those triangle boxes. Yes, contact the seller...he should complain to the shipper that his product was packaged properly and that the box failed during shipment due to mis-handling. This wasn't a case of poor packaging, but lousy handling by the shipper. You paid for and are entitled to "whole" hostas that you can enjoy this season, not ones that were broken in half. That is what you expected, not what you received. Hopefully the seller will send you some replacements, and he can deal with the shipper. He selected the shipper. A good hosta seller will want YOU to be happy. -Babka |
Wow, great name! Haha...I was trying to puzzle it out from what showed of the tag. It sure looks like a nice one. On my monitor it has that slate blue of bluestone. Your patch job looks good to me...best of luck! |
You shouldn't have to patch. Call the seller! Other people are paying the same and receiving intact hostas. Stand up. -Babka I am an old lady and I don't put up with this crap anymore. This was NOT YOUR FAULT, and you shouldn't have to go through all these measures to make this shipment grow. (but what you are doing makes a lot of sense, but it should not leave the shipper or grower off the hook) You didn't pay for broken hostas!!! -Babka |
This post was edited by Babka on Fri, Jun 6, 14 at 23:10
I'm with Babka about holding the shipper accountable. The grower may have paid for insurance, or used a service level that has insurance automatically. Keep the packaging if you haven't already tossed it... Here is some info from USPS: Evidence of Insurance |

oh my ... you had fun nursing it.. didnt you ... lol .. it will work as good as any other suggestion .. good job ... ken |
Nice stake up. I had to stake one up last year, Sun Kissed. I saw a picture on the GW hosta forum and had to have it. The seller, Jim Hartman, was willing to sell me a division off is large mature plant in July, but mature divisions are lanky in mid summer. I staked it up, watered it and ignored it for the rest of the summer. My sister kept telling me it wasn't going to make it, but this year it is up and beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures like you did for future reference. Beverly |

Nice work, funn. I would keep the leaves as long as they are alive and producing food for the plant. Remember this is more about next year than this. Steve |
They actually look sweet all tied up with their "bows"! As an internet business vendor, let me assure you that it is the SELLER's responsibility to get a product delivered whole to a customer. While you should keep the packaging (in case the seller would need it for filing the claim) you do not need to go through all these steps...you simply contact your seller and let them know that the product arrived damaged. It is their legal responsibility to make it right for you, and they can choose to file a claim, or not, with the shipping carrier. A responsible seller will either send you a replacement order or offer you a discount/refund on what you have there. If you do not like how they handle it, you can let them know. Also, while it is unfortunate that the box got damaged, most vendors wouldn't use a box that could get bent so easily. My number one goal as a shipper is to make sure my product does not get damaged, and that means understanding the "weak" spots of box selection. I strongly disagree that it is not the seller's fault...they should choose a sturdier box and you will help them learn this by letting them know of the problem. |

I received a similar looking package today. I previously ordered from this seller and received a triangle box which was fine and all the plants were great, only problem was they sent me Lakeside Cha Cha instead of LS Cindy Cee. I emailed them earlier in the week and he was very nice and said he would send a replacement right away and also asked me what bonus plant I would like for my trouble. I received the new package today and it was totally squashed and bent. The LS Cindy Cee looks just like yours with all the petioles broken and the Luna Moth looked better, only had one broken petiole, probably because it was a shorter plant. My plant was so bad I didn't think even tape would help. They were hanging by just a thread...so I cut them just below the broken part. It does have a small eye just starting to send up a leaf so that one will be ok. I guess I should email the seller again but I feel bad since he was nice enough to send me a second bonus plant in addition to the first one which was Ann Kulpa and the LS Cha Cha that I get to keep. What the heck is going on with USPS? I guess they just don't care what they do with people's packages. LInda :( |
Linda, you summed it up in a nutshell. The extra mile already gone to by the seller makes me guilty to go back around again with yet another complaint (even one that is warranted). Exact same situation, my Lakeside Cindy Cee didn't make it into the first order, so they sent it, along with a bonus plant for the inconvenience, then USPS karate chopped the box. Looks like a trend... |

I would not cut off any leaves until they turn brown and wither away. I had some with some leaves like that in various orders. I only had one which looked like cooked spinach leaves, with all the petioles in good shape. One or two leaves left on the hosta. So far it hasn't croaked. In a box full of hosta, why that one was so damaged I haven't a clue. It seems that FedEx had or is having a strike. I've ordered 3 times from Amazon some 50 lb bags of crabshell and each time they insist on sending via FedEx. Well it gets to Memphis distribution center of FedEx and there it sits. I have the satisfaction of knowing the crabshells are getting pretty potent an odor about now, and I am cancelling the order. Instead I got in touch with Neptune's Harvest in Gloucester MA and get the bag for a less amount plus free shipping via UPS. I had UPS deliver one of them last summer and they came early in the morning--did not want the smell in the vehicle all day long it seems. But due to the FedEx strike or slowdown or whatever is going on with them, I believe other shippers are backed-up. I get good and timely delivery from USPS. Having no consideration for live plant shipments could strike a deadly blow to the mail order plant industry. So I think yes they need to get their association to call shippers to task about it. It's bigger than one order that was messed up from one nursery. If a gardener cannot get safe delivery, then the nurseries relying on mail order sales will really suffer too. |
Sorry to weigh in again, but it IS the sellers who are not shipping the items properly. The problem is that the box is long & narrow, and worst of all, with a tall plant, it's basically "hollow" at points along the length of the box...it is literally ASKING to be smashed or bent up and none of the carriers are going to be able to prevent damage to such a box. Sure, many might do fine, but many will not....that is very bad odds. If I have a package arrive to the customer in bad shape, I look at the packaging and correct the problem. This seller did not do that. Any hollow spot in a box is a weak point and the narrow nature of a triangle box makes it even worse. If I recall, Hallsons ships a rectangular box and fills it in tightly around the plants with paper...this is WAY better than a USPS tube/triangle box. If it were me and I were receiving a replacement plant from a seller who used this type of USPS triangle box, I would kindly beg them to use a rectangular box instead and stuff it with paper. It WILL weigh more, but the plants will arrive as they should. Of, if they insist on using the USPS triangle box, ask that they stuff every inch of it around the plant with wadded paper so that there are no areas along the entire length of the box that are hollow....the stuffing on the inside is what protects from crushing. I actually feel badly for the carriers here, getting the blame for what is obviously a serious lapse in judgement by a seller. As an aside, FedEx transports a large majority of USPS Priority packages on their FedEx planes. |
Wow, I can't believe they damaged your precious hostas so badly! I would have been on the phone to the shippers in a NY minute. I would have pointed out that they took my GREEN money just fine and why didn't they send me perfect plants just as green? For splints, I would obtain some 1/4" or 1/2" I.D. (inner diameter) plastic tubing. You can get this at hardware stores by the foot, or from Home Depot by the couple of yards---try to find an old-fashioned hardware store in your area to just get a yard or so of the tubing. Cut pieces of the tubing so that they are 1-2" longer than the damage at either end. Slit the tubing all the way along the longitudinal axis. Open the slit in the tubing and snap it over the damaged stem. If it slides, use the green floral tape to secure it. |

I'm sure some have raised this question but I just like some clarity.
You land on the Valley of Fire with a Talisman, do you automatically land of the Crown of Command (like you do on Prologue) or wait until your next turn to land on the CoC (as implied by the FAQs pdf document)?
When you land on the CoC, do you instantly cast the Command Spell for your curent turn, or wait until your next turn?

Harrisburg City Islanders News Release -- www.cityislanders.com
Tuesday, July 29, 2014
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Harrisburg City Islanders' forward Clesio Bauque has been called up to compete for his native country Mozambique in the second round of African Cup of Nations qualifying. Mozambique will play the second leg of a two-game series with Tanzania after the clubs finished in a 2-2 draw on July 20th in Maputo, Mozambique -- 19 year-old Bauque's birthplace -- on August 2nd. The winning side will advance to the qualification group stage, where they would participate in Group F.
Bauque will suit up in the nation's red and black for the sixth time in his young career. The electrifying forward has recorded two goals for Mozambique, both at the age of 16, one being the lone goal in a 1-1 tie against Tanzania in the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualification, and the other in World Cup qualifying during a 4-1 rout of Comoros.
Bauque, known for his exciting play and flamboyant celebrations, notably his backflips, has recorded three goals and one assist in 774 minutes of USL PRO play. He also notched one goal and one assist in the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, both against the Lehigh Valley United Sonic in the second round.
Bauque joined the Islanders for the 2014 season after playing the 2013 season with Portuguese club, S.L. Benfica. The thrilling forward signed his professional contract with Benfica in September of 2012. During his time with Benfica, Clesio appeared in nine matches and netted two goals, participating in both reserve and first team matches for the Portuguese club.
The Islanders return to action on Wednesday night when they will take on the LA Galaxy II at Skyline Sports Complex. For tickets and information on Wednesday's match and all 2014 City Islanders' matches visit CityIslanders.com or call 717-441-(GOAL).

Our experts helped three women get the scale moving and drop their most stubborn fat
Last year, Lisa Spodak shed 60 pounds with exercise and Weight Watchers—but then losing got harder. For months, she dropped and regained the same few pounds, with much frustration. Lisa has struggled with her size for more than 25 years, since she was in her early teens. She's lost similar amounts of weight in the past, but when she hit a plateau, she gave up and put it all back on. This time, she's hoping to break the pattern and keep the scale moving.
Lisa steams veggies, grills chicken, and skips alcohol—all good, healthy habits. But her seemingly inconsequential choices may be stalling her success, says Young. These diet tweaks will help:
Limit starch to one meal and snack per day. Lisa might have cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, crackers as a snack, and pasta at night—that's 5 servings of starch. "Consider your daily menu," says Young. "If pasta is for dinner, have salad for lunch."
Visualize proper portions. Lisa puts cheese on sandwiches and enjoys macaroni or meat for dinner—fine choices, in the right amounts: A serving of cheese looks like three dominoes; 1/2 cup of pasta, half a baseball; and 3 ounces of meat, a deck of cards.
She walks 3 days a week, strength-trains twice, and on Saturdays, takes classes at the gym. That helped her lose the first 60 pounds; to rev her fat-burn, she has to up the intensity. Here's how:
Use a heart rate monitor for cardio. It tells you if you're burning maximum calories. (To determine your target, go to prevention.com/heartrate.) Lisa can also tell she's working out hard enough if she's breathing through her mouth and sweating lightly.
Strength-train for 1 hour per week. That can be divided into three 20-minute sessions, with moves that target the arms, back, and legs in each. Lisa should aim for 3 sets of 15 reps; if her muscle aren't fatigued by the third set, she needs to up the weight.
Staying positive is key to any weight loss plan, says Kearney-Cooke. If Lisa beats herself up emotionally for every bad choice, it can set her on a negative spiral. To stay on track:
Don't dwell on a misstep. Forgive yourself, then just choose better the next time. And each day, jot down the healthy choices you made. Acknowledging the good helps boost self-esteem.
Her Results
Lost 10 pounds and a 1/2 inches off waist
"This experience opened my eyes: I am much more conscious of my portions, and I walk instead of taking the subway whenever possible. The reason I've struggled with my weight, though, is my attitude: I get upset if I put on a few pounds, and go back to my bad habits. But I've learned if I 'screw up,' I can start fresh right away. That helped me focus on my program instead of trying to beat the scale. I wanted to lose 20 pounds; I lost half that, and I can still honestly say I'm proud of myself."

Chalkbrood is a common fungal disease that affects bee larvae. Chalkbrood pops up most frequently during damp conditions in early spring. It is rather common and usually not that serious. Infected larvae turn a chalky white color, become hard, and may occasionally turn black. You may not even know that your bees have it until you spot the chalky carcasses on the hive's "front porch." Worker bees on "undertaker duty" attempt to remove the chalkbrood as quickly as possible, often dropping their heavy loads at the entrance or on the ground in front of the hive. Misdiagnosing this disease is common, because it's easily confused with chilled brood. You see carcasses at the hive entrance with both anomalies, but with chalkbrood, the bodies are hard and chalky (not soft and translucent as is true with chilled brood). No medical treatment is necessary for chalkbrood. Your colony should recover okay on its own. But you can help them out by removing mummified carcasses from the hive's entrance and from the ground around the hive. Also, usually one frame will have most of the chalkbrood cells. Remove this frame from the hive and replace it with a new frame and foundation. This action minimizes the bees' job of cleaning up. Also consider replacing your queen by ordering a new one from your bee supplier (or by providing one of your own if you are raising queens ). Your help quickly arrests the spread of the fungus.

Norovirus: Advice on symptoms and treatment
Live updates
- ITV Report
Warwick hospital wards closed after Norovirus outbreak
School closed after suspected Norovirus due to reopen
A school in Worcestershire which was forced to close after a suspected outbreak of Norovirus is due to reopen today.
70 students and staff became ill last week at the Birchensale Middle School in Redditch.
The building has had a large scale clean over the weekend.
Redditch school closed after norovirus outbreak affects 70 pupils
A school in Redditch has been closed following an outbreak of the winter norovirus which has affected more than 70 pupils and several members of staff.
Birchensale Middle School on Bridley Moor Road is closed while a deep clean of the premises is carried out.
It is expected to re-open on Monday following discussions between the school and Redditch Borough Council.
This decision has been taken due to an outbreak of diarrhoea and vomiting in the community, which has affected the school. This decision has been made with the local authority....
The health and safety of our staff and pupils continue to be of the utmost importance.
Parents have been issued with advice to help reduce the spread of infection.
Symptoms of the norovirus include diarrhoea and vomiting.
Outbreak of Norovirus confirmed at New Cross Hospital
An outbreak of Norovirus has been confirmed on four wards at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.
One of the wards is closed to new patients. The movement of staff and patients currently on the ward have been restricted to prevent further spread of the Norovirus.
None of the patients are seriously unwell from the outbreak. Some staff have been affected and have been excluded from work until they are well.
There have been Norovirus outbreaks and cases reported in the community.
We hope that the early detection and our actions will prevent spread to other wards. Scrupulous hand hygiene by all staff and visitors and a high level of environmental cleanliness are the essential measures for controlling this bug.
We have restricted the times of visiting and the number of visitors patients will be allowed to have on the affected wards, as this is a highly contagious disease. We hope that patients, relatives and carers understand the reasons for this restriction. Any visitors must decontaminate their hands properly before they leave the ward.
Norovirus awareness for office staff
Tracy Gill, the HR manager at Domestic and General on how staff in Nottingham are being made aware of the norovirus.
Norovirus can be prevented say health workers
Staff at the Nottingham CityCare Partnership have urged people to maintain good standards of cleanliness ahead of a new awareness campaign that aims to prevent winter vomiting bug Norovirus. Sarah Kirkwood, who is Director of Operations Nursing, spoke to ITV News Central about preventing the bug.
Campaign to tackle Norovirus launched in Nottingham
A campaign to tackle the spread of Norovirus has been launched in Nottingham.
Each year, the virus costs the NHS £100million a year, and affects thousands of people, but simple steps like cleaning surfaces and washing hands can stop the spread.
Domestic and General is one business in Nottingham that is making its staff aware of the campaign.
How can Norovirus be prevented?
- Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water - particularly after going to the toilet, before preparing or eating food, and after changing a baby's nappy
- Do not use dirty cutlery
- Do not allow raw food to come into contact with cooked food
- Ensure all food is thoroughly cooked, especially meat and shellfish
- Avoid contact with anyone suffering from the virus for two to three days after they are completely free of symptoms
How can Norovirus be caught?
Norovirus is highly contagious and can be contracted in a number of ways:
- Direct contact with people who have the virus
- Touching contaminated objects
- Touching dirty or unwashed objects
- Raw or undercooked food, especially meat and shellfish
Norovirus tackled with new awareness campaign
Health workers in Nottingham are hoping to stop winter vomiting bug Norovirus in its tracks this year with a major new awareness campaign.
Staff at the Nottingham CityCare Partnership will be issuing information about how the bug is caught, how to prevent it, and what to do when you have it.
Norovirus is highly contagious and puts the NHS under great strain during the winter months.
Not only does it involve more people going into hospital, it often means wards have to be closed to admissions and visitors to try to control the spread.

I don't know who you're responding to specifically, but I say "Right on brother!"
I've been in jobs where I've had a manager accuse me of things in a personal, familiar way that had nothing to do with the reality of doing the job. Some managers actually get in the way of people getting their job done. That's just a fact of many jobs, and it would be nice if managers would start getting that. Some of us employees are very well socially adjusted, but when we're at work, we want to work and get our assignments done so we can keep our jobs and earn our money to pay for those very well socially adjusted lives on the outside.
Let's be pragmatic (369 comments)
If this change reduces the overall efficacy of advertising on websites, then we'll likely see many independent websites go out of business. Facebook will love this, as it seems like their goal to rub out (yes, I mean this in the mobster sense) the web outside of them.
Maybe we need a compromise?
Have a website somehow "vouch" for the third-party cookies in use on their site by either disclosing them to their users, or letting them present an option/warning to visitors that says "To keep our site financially sustainable, we ask that visitors accept cookies from our advertisers -- to that end, we require cookies to not be blocked to access our content".
I understand why people detest advertising, but it's also part of a commercial ecosystem that keeps the independent web alive and kicking. If we allow the blocking of third-party cookies, we should also give webmasters the power to block access from anyone who is blocking them, and even more, blocking ads on their site. It's only fair.

Re:Why does everyone need to "box in" the universe (1142 comments)
If you mean 'cosmos' when you say 'universe', I suspect a multitude of scientists would go along with you.
The science-illiterate canard of "randomness" (1142 comments)
How do we explain to the scientifically illiterate among us that randomness is a human perception and not a scientific reality? For example, the randomness canard surfaces when they talk about how evolution "randomly" ended up with us humans in existence today. Except that science never explains evolution in terms of randomness -- this is a made-up assertion by those who don't have enough of a scientific grounding.
In the infinity of the cosmos (not just this universe), it is scientifically reasonable to say there is only the discrete and the probabilistic. When you roll a pair of dice, you don't get a truly "random" result. You get a probabilistic one based on discrete factors that are largely imperceptible to the human brain. And it's arguable that given all the discrete factors, the result is even a discrete one! Now, when you get down into particle physics, that's where we really get more into the probabilistic, but that's probably too deep to explain to these science-illiterates.

Match determined by a coin toss - what do you think?

What do I think of a coin flip?
It depends. If I think I had less than a 50% chance of winning the match by playing it out, then I love the coin flip.
If my chances of winning the match by playing it out are greater than 50%, then I hate it.
Originally Posted by
40+ adult league, 4 position matches ( 1 singles, 3 doubles), new format for our region, simple rules sent out at start of season indicating - if tie match 2-2, go to sets and if tied go to games.
We played recently and tied on all fronts - positions, sets, and games. Neither team knew what to do as our emailed rule sheet said to go to games. We figured we would enter in tennislink, it would go as tie and be determined at seasons end. As it turns out, we were instructed by LLC the next day that a coin toss would need to be done to determine match winner. Many on our team are upset that we would now determine matches this way - as "remote" a chance of this happening (a full tie all around) it happened so maybe it isn't so remote.
We will suck this up as we lost the flip and subsequently(after the fact) the LLC emailed new rules stating this......a little late. Previous to this our league was 5 positions which could not yield ties but this season we went to 4. Seems better planning could have been done. I hear another league very close to us is using "positions won" for the season to determine standings - this seems to be more fair as at least some credit is given. We are told our rules stand for now and could be revised next year - Not sure I like this 18+ 5 position, 40+ 4 position structure and certainly not happy about this TIE being determined by flip of coin.
What does everyone think? I am interested in your thoughts.

Having had a grandfather that worked for the USPS, I do have a fond place in heart for the service. With that said, hasn't the reality of e-mail and online bill pay services negated much of the use of non-parcel and non-bulk mail traffic? Maybe raise the rate on bulk mail to further reduce the work load, because it does seem like a money loser and stay competitive with the parcel's. The only website that I found actual numbers on was at Shipwire.com. First class is on a strong downward trend and will not recover. It is time to consolidate.

Geeks have never been "intellectual." They have been smart and focused on their own subject (read "obsessive'). The internet has now made it possible to for these DIYers to bypass the traditional form of education. Intellectualism equates to being well rounded - that only happens later in life, when the geek has saturated his knowledge on his own subject and decides to branch out.

Entrepreneurs vs Social Climbers (335 comments)
The examples given include "Yahoo!, historical and current celebrities, Steven Spielberg, Lady Gaga, Steve Jobs, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Angelina Jolie." In one case you have a tech company where the culture is to bring in geeks and in the other cases listed, they can be defined as creators of their own product (entrepreneurs). What is missing is the standard business model - starting in the mail room and working your way to the top. I find that the popular kids still kick butt in the standard business world. In addition to high intelligence and drive, one needs a keen set of social skills to understand management at the highest level. Most geeks do not, as per the popular Venn Diagram
As far as making them "good" adults, obsessing about your kids is a good thing.

My usual practice has been to make a small starter (1/2 c DME in 1 pint of water) about 18 hrs before pitching, and this has worked well over the years. However, I've been reading about proper pitching rates recently, and most people refer to the Mr. Malty calculator. According to the calculator, my yeast is only 10% viable. If I assume a yeast concentration of 4.5 billion cells / ml, then I have 30 ml x 4.5 B cells / ml x 10% = 13.5 billion cells. Mr. Malty tells me I need 137 B cells to ferment 5.5 g of my 1.035 wort. First, I'm not sure how to enter this into the calculator to determine the proper starter size. Second, it seems I need to increase my cell count by an order of magnitude, which would require a gigantic starter. Am I doing something wrong?

So I got off work a little early yesterday, and when I got to my house I could see a box waiting for me! I knew what it was! Finally, I got my new 5100's! So I put my two labs in the back of the truck and headed to town. Stopped by and rented a coil spring compressor from Autozone ($53, that they return) I went to my shop at the base. I started the tear down, taking both stock struts and coils out first. Then I had to take off my readylift. I know a lot of peope are afraid to compress the coils yourself, let me tell you how I did it. I had no worries or problems. What i did was layed them on a bench, and then on the top of the strut there is a flat piece that you must secure to take the nut off. I put that in a bench vise, ans tightened. Then I put the coil compressors on, I used a air gun to compress the coils. Then i made sure everything was stable, then I took the top of the strut off. Made the switch and put it all back together. It took me just under three hours to put all four new shocks on. I did it all by myself. Very easy!
Now the ride, WOW, I can't believe it, it is so smooth it feels like a whole new truck! If you are on the fence, go for it! You won't be dissapointed!
