Hi all! This plant was a gift to my husband when his mother passed in January. I water it about once a week, filtered or distilled water and keep it out of direct sunlight. It's bloomed a couple times but I'm having a hard time keeping the leaves from wilting. The tips turn brown - not as much as when I switched the water from tap to filtered - but I've need gotten it back to the way it was. I haven't repotted it, it's still the same as when we got it 9 months ago. Any suggestions would be grateful. |

Its possible that the dirt needs to be re-placed if you havent re-potted it since you got it. It may be root bound also. Thats my first thoughts, How easy does it come out of the pot when you try to lift it out? Others may have more thoughts on this for you. Good Luck she's a beauty. Christine |

Brown tips indicate salt build up! You need to leach it really good! Place it under a tap and run water thru it until it's thoruoghly drenched, then every few hours, flood it! I'm not sure where you live, if winters coming I'd wait to to do any repotting, but that will likely help too, if your in Florida or California, leach it good first and then repot. |

Biographical Note for FARAD
Far·a·day \ˈfar-ə-ˌdā\ , Michael (1791–1867), British physicist and chemist. Faraday ranks as one of the greatest experimental scientists of all time. In the field of electricity he demonstrated in 1821 that the force acting on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field was circular and directed around the wire. In 1831 he discovered that an electromotive force can be induced in a circuit by varying the magnetic flux linked with the circuit, and he built an elementary electric motor and dynamo. Faraday also stated the basic laws of electrolysis and introduced the terms anode, cathode, anion, cation, and electrode.

Though fine wines can be made from many types of grapes, the finest come from the ones that spent their youth volunteering in the Peace Corps' still-life classes. Sip well-traveled vintages with this Groupon.
$45 for Four Bottles of Wine ($135.75 Value)
Radford Dale Wines ships four bottles of South African wine (white, red, or a combination of red and white) to your home. Read about the wines here. Shipping is included.
Radford Dale Wines
Most winemakers don't get started until later in life. Alex Dale, on the other hand, discovered his life's passion at age 15, and the knowledge he's accumulated with each passing day distinguishes every bottle of Radford Dale Wines. Dale left his native England for the cork fields of Burgundy, but chose to locate his winery in a fertile region of South Africa, also known as The Cape of Good Hope, because of the creative freedom afforded him there. Among Dale's first projects was restoring the good name to the chenin blanc grape, whose image was forever tarnished when a wayward semi-truck ran it over. Dale's 2009 chenin-blanc vintage consummately balances lemon notes with the sweetness of spice and biscuit in a brand-defining reinvention. Wine aficionados surprised by the lack of a cork in Radford Dale bottles should read over Dale's argument for the screwcap.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
This week's Top 5 is all sun terraces!
Imagine sitting with an ice cold drink, on a sun drenched terrace, overlooking the most owe inspiring mountain views after a day on the slopes, sounds like paradise doesn't it? With the fantastic weather in the UK at the moment, we cannot help but remember our favourite winter days soaking up the sunshine in the snow.

A special mention goes to our 'wild card,' choice Las Vegas Lodge in San Cassiano, Italy. A jewel in the Dolomites, the beauty of this place is remarkable with its wooden décor, bordered by the finest ski slopes and totally immersed in unforgettable panoramic views.
Here are our Top 5 Sun Terraces on the Slopes:
1. Restaurant Combatseline – Nendaz

2.Cap Horn - Courchevel

What are your favourite sun terraces? Let us know @Igluski!
UK Snowboarder Jamie Barrow set the world indoor snowboard speed record at the weekend after reaching 69.4km/h at SnowWorld in Landgraaf.
Back in April Jamie broke the British Snowboard Speed Record Record down the Mont Fort Speed Track in Verbier after clocking a huge 151.60km/h.
Jamie chose to attempt this record at SnowWorld as it is the world's biggest indoor snowdome with a massive 520 meter long slope.
Jamie was overjoyed to have broke another record and afterwards said, "I'm really happy with the result and the opportunity to both train and set another record. This has given me even more confidence to push my limits and hopefully set more speed records in the future."
He added, "I hope this record will encourage others to attempt to beat it and go even faster. Without competition the sport wouldn't be where it is at the moment."

This week's Top 5 is all about families!
A ski holiday is a great opportunity for the family to spend some quality time together. With family-friendly accommodation, ski schools and a range of family fun, there is no better way to spend time away with your family.
We spoke to 11 year old Zara and here is what she had to say:
"I love skiing, I have been skiing for seven years now and visitied lots of ski resorts. My favourite ski holiday was Meribel, I love the snowpark and the beds in the Hotel Tarentaise are super comfy. Tignes is a really friendly resort, Evolution have great English speaking instructors and after a day on the slopes I love skiing back down to resort and hearing the music blasting from Loop Bar. I go to the swimming pool most evenings and love the husky rides. In La Plagne it is so easy to go bum boarding after skiing as the hotel is on the piste. There are lots of children in La Plagne so ski school and kid's club was really fun."
Here are our Top 5 Family Friendly Resorts:
1. Meribel
With a huge range of beginner and intermediate pistes, it is the perfect resort for a family holiday. Children benefit from plenty of beginner friendly ski areas, and will love the mini boardercross and animal themed Moon Wild.
2. Tignes
Skiing in Tignes in so vast, it is great for all abilities. There are several free lifts for beginners and has excellent ski and snowboards schools. Children will love the après ski in Tignes, with ice skating, bowling, swimming pool and Husky rides.
3. Saas Fee
Saas Fee has one of the largest beginner areas separate from the main slopes, yet is still next to town and right behind the Chalet Hotel Annahof. Families will love the Ice Pavilion and the 3500m high revolving mountain restaurant.
4. La Plagne
This skiers Paradise is an ideal choice for families of all abilities. There is an excellent selection of family friendly accommodation throughout the resort and has a great reputation for it's encouraging ski schools.
5. Lapland
Children will love skiing at the Home of Santa Claus. Families can enjoy the thrill of Reindeer sleigh rides, husky sledding and snowmobiling. Ski resorts are much smaller in Finland but there is so much more to experience in this magical winter wonderland.

Toronto buckles down for some serious, and seriously expensive, hassle.
TORONTO, Canada – The leaders of 20 of the world's important economies are coming to town, and the residents of this good city are not in a welcoming mood. How could they be?
A sign of the hassles ahead is the security fence that snakes for more than two miles around several downtown city blocks, where the G20 leaders will meet June 26-27. (A day earlier, the more exclusive G8 meets about 140 miles north in a lakeside resort in the cottage-country town of Huntsville, Ontario.)
An estimated 30,000 Torontonians will have to go through security hoops to come in and out of their condos or workplaces inside the fenced-in area. Many business owners have decided it's easier to just keep their shops closed that weekend. Those immediately outside the 10-foot-high fence are likely to do the same, fearful of the sometimes violent protesters attracted by international summits.
Major theaters and art galleries have also announced they'll be shutting their doors, and the Toronto Blue Jays, who play in the downtown Rogers Center, have moved their scheduled home series against the Philadelphia Phillies to Philadelphia.
In short, the core of Canada's biggest city may end up looking like a commercial ghost town. It would make an ironic setting to a summit discussing how to avoid another economic collapse.
And then there is the price tag: Protecting political leaders at both the G8 and G20 summits will cost an astounding $1 billion — a sum that has hit Canadian taxpayers, who are footing the bill, like a vuvuzela blast.
To put this eye-popping amount in some context, security for the Pittsburg G20 summit in September 2009 cost $18 million; security for the London G20 in April that year cost $30 million. Security for the Vancouver Winter Olympics earlier this year — which lasted 14 days — was $900 million.
Here's some more context: $1 billion is the entire yearly budget for the Toronto police force, plus overtime. $1 billion is what it costs Canada to support its military mission in Afghanistan each year.
Aid groups point to the shocking contrast between the security bill and the Canadian government's four-year freeze on the level of foreign development aid. Others note that the G8 is $20 billion behind on an aid commitment to Africa made five years ago.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government insists the security price tag is due to the unprecedented holding of two major summits back-to-back. But opposition politicians insist it's part of a wasteful government track record.
Harper came to power in 2006, defeating a Liberal government that left a $12 billion budget surplus. He proceeded to wipe it out before the recession hit, with tax cuts and lavish spending. It was part of a so far unsuccessful attempt to convince voters that his minority government should be trusted with the absolute power wielded by a majority one.
When the recession came, Harper was forced to billions stimulating the economy. And so, under his economic stewardship, Canadians have come to be burdened with a $56 billion deficit, and are braced for the painful spending cuts that are sure to come.
Adding insult to injury for many taxpayers was news last week of questionable costs beyond security, including $2 million for the interior of a media center that lets the 3,000 journalists covering the G20 experience Canada's great outdoors, indoors. The pavilion will have an artificial lake, canoes, cottage chairs and the recorded sounds of loons.

Control Nemesis in Xbox 360 exclusive Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City multiplayer mode
Dear Capcom (and all other publishers this applies to),
This is not the point of DLC. Downloadable content should allow developers and publishers to create expansions and extras for a completed game. Most commonly this will involve extra missions or multiplayer maps for the player to enjoy after they have finished most/all of the original game. It should not be used as a way to charge extra for parts of the game you've already made prior to release date.
Capcom - piss off, this is a pretty dickish move.
An annoyed gamer. Reply +8 -

Volition dev: next Xbox not playing pre-owned games would be "fantastic"
I don't understand why the games industry think they are allowed to do something like this were practically every other consumer driven industry out there just doesnt. Of course this is different with digital media this is changing a bit e.g. with downloadable music and ebooks.
However, when you buy something physical you should always be able to do what you want with it. It's your's - you paid for it and if you dont want it anymore you should be able to pass it on whether that be for a bit of cash or just to give to a friend. This is how it works for everything else in the world why are games so different?! Sure TV shows and movies cost millions to produce but you still allowed to sell them on in the exact same way.
Also what really annoys me about this article is that games "only" cos $60 as if this is absurdly cheap. There are several issues here. First of all some games are worth this kinda of money, or at least worth more than others. Games come in much different lengths than movies or TV shows yet they all cost roughly the same price. Sure I'll pay full price for Skyrim but for something linear and relatively short? No i'll wait for a price drop or get it second hand.
Secondly, I'm a working adult now. I can afford to buy a fair few games now. However, not that long ago I could barely afford 2 or 3 full priced games a year. New games would be for birthdays and Christmas only. Yet back then if i really wanted a new game I could still head down to the gamestore - trade in 4 or 5 older games and get the brand new game i want for significantly cheaper. Removing the used game trade is just gonna ruin things for the younger gamer. Reply -2 -

Editor's Blog: In Memory of Allie Fraser
When I saw this on the front page I assumed a member of the EG staff had died which would have obviously been very sad.
The fact that this relates not to a member of staff, but to a member of the EG forum is truly amazing. I can't think of any other site I frequent that would leave such a heartfelt send off to one of their community members.
Kudos Eurogamer
And more importantly my thoughts go out to Allie's family at what must be a horrible time for them. I don't really go on the forum here but from the sounds of things he was a great guy and I wish i could have had at least one internet argument with him before his untimely passing. Reply +3 -

Why Star Fox 64 3D isn't online
@vamos I believe my post might have been worded incorrectly. I didnt mean that all games require an online component. Of course that would be ridiculous. I don't really want multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 or the newest Bioshock game.
However, a game like Lylat wars, which 10 -15 years ago was an amazing game to play with friends locally was screaming out for online multiplayer. In regards to your other point - about split screen multiplayer, I absolutely 100% agree with you there. The complete disregard for local multiplayer this generation is very very annoying. Last generation was full of amazing games that were only really fun when played with a few friends in the same room as you. For example, I don't think Timesplitters 2 would have been half as fun as an online game.
Saying that though the inclusion of an online mode cannot cost that much! It's almost offensive to hear nintendo tell us how vast the costs would be when practically every other game around these days includes an online mode whether or not it is really needed. Reply +9 -
Nintendo need to get their act together and realise that online multiplayer is not a nice extra for games but an absolute necessity these days!! Reply +8

PSP Remasters coming to PS3 in HD
I don't understand this ad hoc thing. Like on PSP ad hoc simply meant local multiplayer and to be honest it was a bit crap. It was the reason I never bothered with the Monster Hunter games too much because i could only play it with a few people in close proximity to me.
MH Tri on the Wii was fantastic because it had a proper loby system. Will this ps3 version have a loby system or does ad hoc mean.... i need to have friends nearby playing on their PS3... like in the same house nearby?! Seems a bit absurd. Reply 0 -

A well appointed house
The house is exactly as described, airy, spacious and full of conveniences. Access is by some local roads. i.e. not smooth. St Anne's with some gorgeous beaches and a pleasant morning market is about 15 minutes. There are some coastal hikes nearby. There are a few restaurants around and the neighbour will provide a dinner if asked, be careful there, as she provided enough food for 3 days. We have small appetites, the quality was very good. We also BBQ'd fish bought from the roadside and had an extremely pleasant week watching the evening light from the patio. We cannot fault the property.
It is good that left over condiments are in the house, salt, pepper etc..

My entire back yard is covered in crabgrass. We didn't realize when we moved in that the patchy "grass" in the yard was actually just weeds. I've decided what I need to do is kill most of the yard and start over (I've tried overseeding my lawn several times to fill in the many blank patches, but it's never worked. I think that might be due to the lawn being solely crabgrass, but I'm no expert).
My question is, if I hit the entire yard with round-up, will it kill the roses, bulbs, and stunted trees that are back there? If so, how do I avoid this? How long after nuking the yard can I plant vegetables? How many years will I have to apply a pre-emergent every spring before the crabgrass seeds are dead and stop coming back? Are there any alternative to this plan that DON'T require me waiting until next spring to get started? I've read elsewhere that baking soda will kill crabgrass, but I don't know if that's true, and I've only heard of it being used in the south. I know this is a lot of questions, if anyone can just direct me to answers I would appreciate it. Thanks, Jenn |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any glysophate product will almost kill any plant it contacts, that is supposedly what is is for. However, many plants have been developing resistance to these products and some have even gotten the gene that made some plants resistant to these. There is never any really good reason to use this stuff since there are other ways, less environmentally harmful, to get rid of unwanted plants. One of the better ways to eliminate crab grass is to grow a good, healthy stand of a more desireable grass, but you also need to know if you have just the annual crab grass or the perennial crab grass or both. To start growing a good, healthy lawn that will crowd out this crab grass get a good, reliable soil test so you know what soil nutrients are there and what the soils pH is. Correct any problems found and determine also how much organic matter is in your soil and increase that too. Then seed in, or sod, a turf grass that is a good match for your climate, and feed, water, and mow that grass properly so it grows in thick and lush and crowds out the crab grass. The annual crab grass needs a fairly warm soil temperature for the seed to germinate so a thick stand of grass, cut long wil lshade the soil and prevent that. |

Thanks for the advice, but the problem is that the "lawn" is covered with crabgrass, as is the garden. I have a 15' x 15' spot that I'd planned to plant vegetables in, but it is completely covered in crabgrass. I appreciate that it would be ideal to garden in a less environmentally harmful way, but that's really not an option at this point. I don't know for sure if the crabgrass is annual or perennial, but I don't think it died this winter. It seems to have multiplied since last year. The yard has been neglected for well over a decade, as the previous homeowners were quite elderly. It's obvious they took great pride in this yard at one point (they lived here for 50+ years), but I think the care just got to be too much as they grew older. :-( I would like to give the yard as much love as they did, but it's difficult when you're starting from scratch. Worse than scratch! The idea of nursing a small patch of grass to maturity and then waiting a few years for it to take over the crabgrass is not appealing. |
In the 15' x 15' spot you can repeatedly pull up the crab grass over the summer and then mulch in the fall. For the lawn you either go Kimmsr's route or start over or go chemical and over-seed. There is no perfect solution. If you have money to burn, pay the pros (real pros and not the usual gang of idiots that most people hire) to strip the existing sod and re-sod with an appropriate turf for your area. In early spring you can put down a pre-emergent to to minimize the next generation of crabgrass. Corn gluten meal is supposed to be the enviro-friendly way to do that. |

A Lesson Well but Painfully Learned
Without a single doubt in my mind, the next 'big thing' for advertising will inevitably become self serve mobile advertising. Just look at the United States – nearly every single individual that is worth their salt has a smart phone, a desktop PC and a tablet computer. Mobile computing is the future of computing with more and more consumers demanding that their data be accessible wherever they go in the world. This is the perfect platform to sell advertising through! If you're looking to capitalize on something new and turn a profit, this is the thing to do it with!
Even someone like me who is a newcomer into the industry has already been able to turn around and make up to nearly a thousand a month through advertising on mobile websites. I didn't believe it was possible until I took the advice from a friend to give it a shot; make a website, provide some unique and interesting content and then sell the free space to an advertising network. Mind you, you have to fin a quality and reliable advertising company. Continue reading
An Early Start on Repairs
The best time to get heating repair in Essex County NJ is always before it gets cold. This is because most people wait until the last minute to have their heaters repaired, so they wait until it gets really cold, which is when the temperature is the biggest problem. Not only do all of the repair men have to deal with the tons of orders they get, but they also have to work in the freezing cold. It would be better if they could work when the temperatures were warmer and the work load was a little more spaced out.
I called my repair man just before the end of summer. Continue reading
High Quality Heating Equipment Repair
In today's society we are always working hard for money, but quickly spending it left and right. Sometimes it is within our control, but in other times we really have no choice. For example, hiring a heating contractor in Bergen County NJ can be extremely expensive. The problem is that when winter comes and a heating system is not working, spending the money to fix it is practically mandatory. This is especially true with kids or seniors in the house where the cold can quickly become a major health issue. Of course the scariest part of the whole situation is that investing the money puts a lot of faith in the contractor to be able to do a great job.
It starts as early as getting estimates, where trusting a contractor to give you a fair price and stick to it can feel a lot like gambling. After that there are questions of quality and attention, as some contractors will take shortcuts to try and do anything possible to maximize their profit levels. The biggest problem is that most customers are not able to tell the difference due to lack of experience, so it is really just a matter of trusting the worker to do everything properly.
Of course even if a worker is working hard, the bottom line is that sometimes lack of experience or expertise can make the job harder and lengthier. Unforeseen complications can really extend the work and make things even worse, but finding a contractor that knows what to expect can prevent some of this. Of course schedule estimates are far from guaranteed too, but a contractor that stays near his estimate and does not overbook jobs will be more likely to get the job done quickly. After all, having to wait for a worker to finish other jobs before coming back to complete one can be a very frustrating process.
Doing Real Estate the Right Way
It seems hard to imagine that anyone has gone through life without hearing of the term real estate, but not everyone fully understands how involved the whole process can be. Real estate is about more than simply picking out a home, as there are a lot of different factors and aspects that can get quite complicated at times. Most homeowners are able to recognize that their purchase is an investment, as the money spent on a home is certainly a major decision. Getting the wrong property can be truly disastrous, so sticking with qualified Cody Wyoming real estate agents is certainly a wise decision.
The bottom line is that when you work with a real estate agent, you are putting a lot of faith in whoever you have chosen to use. Continue reading
Deals and Pricing for TXU Energy
My wife and I are going to be retiring to the state of Texas. It is a state that I have always wanted to live in, because it is where both of my parents were born, and I had heard much about it from them. I have found a nice quiet town in Texas to purchase a house in, and the name of the town is Whitehouse. I think that I made a good choice, in the house that I bought. I will need info on txu energy in whitehouse to see if it is the right energy company for me to get my power from.
I do not know much about the company, but it is the only energy company that I know of in the area. Continue reading
Choosing Headstone Monuments in NJ
When my father passed away we were looking for place that had good prices on monuments in nj. When someone passes, you do not have to get the tombstone right away in most instances. That is, unless the cemetery requires it. They are usually okay with a marker in place of a headstone until the family can decide on what to get. Ours was more of a case of being able to afford one.
Monuments at a grave are obviously going to be there a long time. I have walked through the oldest section of the cemetery where my dad is buried. Some of the stones go back well over a hundred years. The newer stones are polished granite, and ones from many years ago still look brand new. Continue reading
Restoring a Home to Its Former Glory
With warm weather finally come to New Jersey, I have been inspired to start finally working on my new home. Well, new might be a relative terminology to apply to a place that was half-collapsing in on itself when I first bought it! For starters, I've hired a painter in bergen county nj to work on the finished front room – not much but it's definitely getting somewhere! A close friend and business partner of mine advised me that if I wanted to buy a home, then I should highly consider buying one that would clearly need some investment. Being cautious by nature with my money but curious enough and trusting his wisdom, I decided that I would take a closer look at what he was implying. Continue reading
A Place to Find Comfort and Security
When my brothers and sisters and I were forced to find a retirement home for my mother, I came to realize that her future was a possible future for ourselves. Ever since I was a child I have had a fear of growing older – I'm not entirely sure whether I am frightened by the notion of death or by the weakness that accompanies aging. We found her a lovely senior home care in long island with a beautiful view. They provide all the quiet comforts that a woman her age could want – at least I hope they do! We visited several different establishments and found that they were the best out of the bunch while still being close to home for us. I couldn't imagine just leaving her in a place where she may not be able to visit us or leaving her with the fear that we were all so far away from everyone that she knows and loves. That is a guilt I would not be able to bear in the slightest. Continue reading
Home Improvement for the New Guy
Owning a home comes with a plethora of responsibilities that I have come to realize I was not prepared for nor did I even know about! I went in buying a home thinking that was it; I was going to have a home, that was that. Yet, buying a home comes with so many responsibilities that you have to take care of in order to keep the value of your home stable. This is why I have ordered a kitchen remodeling in bergen county nj – since I've had this house for a couple of years now and the fact that when I bought the place it wasn't in the best condition, I felt that I should go above and beyond my new found responsibilities and give my place a little extra love this year. You see, a house I have come to realize, costs money to own. Continue reading
Storm Made a Real Mess of Things Here
Jesse and I got home from her Mom's late last night, we had driven up to the little town she's from near Rochester. We hardly recognized our neighborhood though, because some sort of freak wind storm had gone through while we were gone. The power company was just finishing up when got there, but apparently the neighbors had been without power for about half of the day. I had to find an emergency tree service in brooklyn ny to clean up around the house and get part of a big oak tree off of the roof. Some how, not sure how, the tree did not really do much damage to the house. Continue reading
The Right to Protect Yourself
There are a lot of people that like to carry guns in my home state of Texas. I know that all of my friends and neighbors actually are armed, and I think that I read in a magazine that we are one of the most heavily armed states in the union. I know that I like my texas adt system as it is an added insurance policy when it comes to keeping both my family and my property protected. We live in a very nice area where there is hardly any type of violence and I know that we can even keep our doors unlocked and at times we do when we run down the street for something. However, there is that one chance that something bad will happen when you are not prepared and I do not want to take my chances with that type of system. I know that there are a lot of people that also have security systems.
A local person came around door to door to try to sell us security systems and when we called the police to come and check him out we found out that he was real and that he was going to be one of those people that was actually doing business door to door. We were really happy that we were all going to give him some business and he even offered all of us a nice discount on the monthly fee that they charge to keep your alarm system up to date. We know that we got a great deal but we did feel a little bad about calling the police on him even though he was a good person to begin with, but the truth is that you never know who is good and who is not.
Great Prices on ADT Security Systems
I have been thinking about getting a security system installed in my house for a long time now, as it really seems like it would be a good idea. I have a family now, and as such, it is a lot more important to think about a security system now, than it was when I was young, and unmarried. I should have gotten one sooner, because protecting my family is a top priority of mine. However, it has not really been something I have thought about. I want to look into adt home security systems and how much it costs to have one installed into your house.
I really like the idea of having a fancy home security system, because often times, I find myself worrying about my family when I am away at work. My wife is a stay at home mom, and as such, there is a lot of the day when she is at home with our youngest child. I worry about them, and I probably spend too much of my time doing so. It is hard to not worry about them though, because they are both so precious to me, and I would never want anything to happen to them.
I know that they will be safer, and there will be less of a chance of a break-in, or anything like that, if my house were to have a home security system, and that is something that I would like to get done pretty soon. By pretty soon, I mean that it would be nice to have a security system installed at my house within the next few weeks, and hopefully not any later than that. I definitely want one that comes with multiple security cameras for monitoring my my house and property from different angles.
This Leaky Roof is Costing Us a Ton
My brother and I are in business together and we are seeking a company that offers roof repair in new york city. We purchased a restaurant without thinking things through and the place has lots of problems. There are leaks in the roof and it is causing damage to the flooring. We have also been forced to close until we can get this repaired since it can pose health risks. We were not open very long before we realized the problem, so we are worried that this will tarnish our restaurant forever. Imagine going to a restaurant and enjoying yourself, then you find it closed when you go try to go back a few weeks later. Continue reading

Just Bought a Bunch of Stuff
Just bought a bunch of stuff from an auction. I am not sure what I am going to do with it all, but one of them might be worth more than I thought. I knew it would probably be expensive when I saw it and it looked a bit ridiculous. If you looked it up you will see it is a lot like the air horn system that they call the Habanero 150psi Four Trumpet High Output Train Horn Kit at the site http://www.trainhornsunlimited.com. It costs a little bit less than three hundred and fifty bucks for the system there. It is a thing with four air horns and a little air compressor. I paid about eighty bucks for it and I was not feeling as though I was going to turn a real profit on it at the time. I was thinking that my brother in law would probably give me the eighty bucks back if it came to that. He is nuts for anything that is loud and excessive.
Of course I do not think that I shall get any price close to what a new one costs at this web page. That seems like a really big sum of money for some frivolous thing which is not going to serve a purpose. This is the type of horn you would need if you were in a fog bank in a shipping channel, but on a public road it probably is not going to do you much good. In fact it seems like it might lead to trouble. You go blowing some horn like this and you could easily startle some other driver in to the wrong sort of move on the highway. It seems to me that you would probably be liable for causing an accident if you did that.
Continue To Persist ScanningThe Best Way to Get Attention at Expos
These days it often seems like the way a product or service is presented often matters more than the product itself. This is in part due to the fact that there are so many competitors out there that grabbing the attention of potential customers is harder than ever, so people have been putting incredible effort into doing just that. One specific way to get this job done is through the use of displays and stands, which are perfect for expos and other major events. When an event only draws customers around for a few minutes. The roll-up displays have to be perfect or it can quickly turn a person away before they even give your company a second thought.
With this in mind, there is really no hope for any company that settles for a subpar product, and only the best of the best should be taken into consideration. It might seem like a trivial factor, but the details and designs behind these setups can be the difference between making a huge deal and going home with empty hands. Needless to say for any company that uses this kind of equipment, the investment into a proper system is an absolute must.
Of course at the same time, not every company is fortunate enough to have budgets that seem to never end. In reality, most companies have a set amount of money that they are able to invest into these kinds of opportunities, so adding further expenses will simply mean attending fewer events. This can be just as bad as the alternative, so sticking with a company that has reasonable and affordable prices is also important. Of course going too cheap may mean that the product does not last, but with the right company you will save money through ease-of-use and durability and get an easy return on the price in no time.
Continue To Persist ScanningSet Up the New Home Theater
I am trying to figure out if I can get a high speed internet that is going to be good enough to stream Netflix at 4k. I have heard that you can get gigabit internet in some areas near here. They have North State Communications in High Point, parts of Greensboro and some of the little towns near High Point. That is supposed to be available here if you have At & T as well, but I am not sure if I can get it here or not. They were saying that it would be here before too long, but I never found out for sure if I can get it or not. Right now I have Time Warner, but that is not very affordable if you ask me. Of course I am ditching them for cable tv. I got a much better deal on a satellite package.
Direct tv hooked up four tv's in the house including the new 55 inch 4K set that I just bought. Pretty much all of the movies on that come in on 1080p, compared to 720p for the HD channels on the cable system. I have this little gadget which takes the 1080p signal and upconverts it to 4K. It does the same thing if you have a 720p signal, but it only takes it up to a resolution of 1080p. Of course some people think that you can not really tell a lot of difference between one and the other, that the human eye can only distinguish so much resolution. Or they say that it does not become apparent unles you are only a foot or so away, like you would be if you were using the tv for a monitor on a PC. I do not know because it's hard to find 4k content.
Continue To Persist ScanningPreventive Maintenance with Quality Contractors
There is little doubt that cities in New Jersey do not get as cold as some places further north, but the winter can still be a brutal time. The elderly and young are especially vulnerable to Mother Nature, but luckily in today's society we have found ways to compensate for this. When outside this means wearing bulky coats and trying to limit time spent, but inside a home, things can be much easier. Rather than trying to bundle up and avoid the weather, equipment can be used to raise the temperature. A heating contractor in Bergen County NJ can make sure that this equipment is running at its best and provide maintenance to avoid any problems with this setup.
This is important for many reasons, starting with the obvious fact that suddenly going without heat can be a very troubling and inconvenient scenario. Beyond that, however, it can also be very costly to try and repair a heating system after something does go wrong. As the famous Benjamin Franklin saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It is much more efficient to get regular maintenance and inspections that prevent problems than it is to deal with huge problems that sneak up out of seemingly nowhere.
Of course to hire someone on a regular basis also involves a level of trust, as most customers cannot truly verify that a contractor is really doing their job properly. In addition to this, regular maintenance will cost money so ensuring you are getting a fair price and value is important. Not everyone has an unlimited budget obviously, so finding a contractor that works for your financial environment is crucial. Finally, reliability and availability concerns are also important because nobody wants to struggle with getting a job done due to timing or scheduling conflicts.

Bad hair days, food experiments, new tattoos with the ink still fresh - these are the kind of photos that are uploaded online instantly.
Often, youngsters' friends find out - and even see - funny, important and interesting things in their friends' lives within a few seconds of the actual occurrence. Since every mobile phone is now equipped with a good camera and smartphones ensure you're always online, people can put up instant photo updates on social networking sites. We find out which kind of pictures find their way most quickly to Facebook.
Tattoos: Just got inked? Upload a picture. That's what most the people do. "You want to get feedback from your friends. It is important, especially if you've been inked for the first time. What's the harm? The world is changing, and technology and networking keeps you connected," says Harshit Goyal, a software engineer who recently got a Buddha tattoo.
Food: Anyone's first experience of creating something delicious, or trying out a new dish, finds its way online even before the meal's begun! "My friends think I'm lazy and don't cook. But when I tried my hand at it, I did well. So I just wanted to share it with my friends and change their mind," says Mayuri Aashay, a media professional.
Gizmos and gadgets: Spotted a swanky car or a superbike? Time to click a picture and tell your friends. "When I went to the Auto Expo, I clicked pictures of superbikes and posted them, because not all my friends are from Delhi but they wanted to see the new models. So it's not flaunting, but exchanging photos with like-minded people," argues marketing manager Rahul Singh.
International trips/meeting celebs: 'Just saw Ranbir Kapoor at the IGI airport. He is too good-looking' - posted Meenakshi Mehta, seconds after she spotted the Bollywood actor. "It was crazy. Just a message could do this, what if I'd managed to get a picture!" she says about the reactions, adding that comments like "You Lucky!" were the most common.
Live concerts/events: Be it F1, international artistes performing, a high-profile party, an international DJ night... just to register that "I am here", people immediately click a picture and post it.
Whacky captions/billboards: Don't laugh alone when you spot a whacky caption or a billboard - click and upload it. "After all, in this rush, one needs some comic relief," says Vikram Nath, who'd uploaded a picture where " Xerox" was spelled "Zerox".
Wedding/Anniversary/Birthday pictures: These are the most common pictures one can find on Facebook. Every second day, there is someone partying and posing in a plush lounge or going for their second honeymoon. And getting a peek at their 'happening' lives are jealous friends who can only watch, but can't get away themselves. "It can really get annoying sometimes and it also makes me wonder how superficial people can be," says Anamika Kalsi, an academician.

(PHP) LDAP test server?
I am trying to do some testing with the php ldap feature, but I don't have a ldap server available yet, so I am curious if there is a test server out there that can be used. Openldap claims to have one, but document nothing about their settings to interface with it (that I can find). Is there a server somewhere that one can test php scripts on? All I will need to do is read data anyway, I won't need to change anything.
I attempted and failed an ldap server install on my own unix box as well. Quite a lengthy process.

For The Record 'Stories in Stone' I was introduced to another fantastic book recently, "Stories in Stone: Travels Through Urban Geology" by David B. Williams (Walker & Co., www.walkerbooks.com). Here's an excerpt from chapter five, which talks about Castillo de San Marcos, a famous fort in St. Augustine, Fla., nicknamed "the clam." Carolina Governor James Moore was the first to discover the power of the clam when he lay siege to the Spanish colonial town of St. Augustine in 1702…As the siege progressed, Moore's circle tightened. By November 24, he had located four of his biggest guns only 750 feet from the castillo…The cannon fire could not break the walls of the clamshell. Now that's a story in stone. Correction In our September 2009 issue, we mistakenly ran an erroneous opening paragraph in the feature entitled "The Cast Stone Dilemma" by Gary Fry (p. 22). Following are the first two paragraphs, as they should have run. You can view the corrected article in its entirety on the home page of our Web site, www.masonrymagazine.com. We regret the error. Cast Stone is alive and well in these challenging times. But, the construction industry struggles to maintain its equilibrium as the nation's economy is challenged and many markets shrink. If the purchaser succumbs to the temptation of making the decision based solely upon price, he will more than likely face a dilemma with the resultant process. It's a good time to think about basics.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" didn't exactly ink the best impression on audiences.
David Fincher's much-anticipated U.S. interpretation of the Swedish hit fell flat in theaters during the holiday weekend, coming in fourth behind "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" (that's gotta hurt).
The movie that cost an estimated $90 million to make earned only $12.75 million between Friday and Sunday. Does that mean Sony might pull the plug on the three-film franchise?
Probably not. Paul Dergarabedian, president of Hollywood.com's box office division, blamed a glut of competition for "Dragon Tattoo's" low numbers and said that in the coming weeks, it might "prove itself to be a long-distance runner rather than a sprinter."
"The key will be how it does in the coming weeks," he said. "This weekend will be very curious. There won't be any wide release openers in contest with it."
Since opening day, "Dragon Tattoo" has made a not-so-shabby $27.7 million. And because it opened ahead of schedule, on Tuesday, Dec. 20, it burned off a bit of its core audience by the time Friday rolled around.
Plus, violent anal rape and sadistic murderers don't exactly scream "happy holidays."
"It's decidedly an R-rated movie, it's very intense," Dergarabedian said. "But remember, 'The Exorcist' was released right around Christmas."
Dec. 26, to be exact. So Sony's probably going to sit back and see how "Dragon Tattoo" fares in the bleak (weather and new movie-wise) month of January before making any major decisions.
"I don't think they expected this to open at $50 million but I think they're probably reserving judgment," Dergarabedian said. "If the film is a total loss, they have to decide, 'Do we keep making them or not?'"

Marlow and his men follow a river deep into a jungle, the "Heart of Darkness" of Africa looking for Kurtz, an unhinged leader of an isolated trading station. This highly symbolic psychological drama was the founding myth for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 movie Apocalypse Now.

In the name of common sense and, more importantly, compassion, the FCC should require prisons receiving commissions on phone contracts tto make available a system for direct, monitored and recorded telephone communication between children and their incarcerated parents--free of charge. This should be through regular, dedicated phones and phone lines phone lines that already exist and cost next to nothing. No one should profit from a child who wants to talk to her mother or father in prison. The prisons will never do this on the basis on reducing recidivism. Remember, they only stay in business if the can keep their loyal customers (read: inmates) coming back. They have no interest in reducing the numbers of people walking through the revolving door. And this can't be left to lawmakers. Only the FCC can do it. The FCC must require prisons and jails that insist on making money from phone monopolies to create a platform for children and parents to speak regularly and without charge. If anything, the money charged to inmates for calls made to girlfriends and cohorts can pay for the system that the children of inmates use.
1.7 million children in America had a parent in prison in 2007. That's an 83 percent increase from 1991. Kids should be able to talk to their parents without becoming victims of extortion by the business of incarceration.
On the contrary, I think voters in America often punish lawmakers who make decisions that--despite reducing overall crime--they perceive to be at all compassionate towards convicts and their families.
The entire prison system in the United States is corrupt and the telephone issue is merely the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, this is so entrenched that there is little likelihood of anything being done about it. Legislatures want to punish criminals (and their families) as much as they can.
Incarceration is a major industry in the United States, which has the largest percentage of its population behind bars of any country. It's a huge jobs program, many communities have their entire local economy revolving around a local prison and guard unions have immense power. This is not a healthy situation.

Lee G. Petro
Drinker Biddle & Reath
Counsel for Petitioners at FCC
Can you provide a link to these studies showing this?
Can't imagine it would be much of a tough sell for hardened anti-crime ultra conservatives in red states to say to their constituents - "hey look, these studies prove a link between family/friend communication and a reduction in recidivism, therefore overall reduction in crime, and the state's costs thereof".
I'm not sure any voter would punish a politician for being "soft" on prisoners when it reduces overall crime and the budget.
Of course, in America, the idea of prison is to punish, not rehabilitate. Seems we're quite content in building semi-private universities for criminals, where all they know when they get out is other criminals, and all they get while in jail is gang membership and gladiatorial practice.
The article doesn't mention the cost associated with monitoring phone calls to insure prisoners aren't continuing to commit crimes behind bars. I've lost count of the number of times I've read articles about criminals expanding their criminal empire while behind bars. I'm sure the higher phone rates are partly to offset this expense which I would imagine can get quite significant.
Prisons grant telephone companies the monopolistic operations within the bars, and a large portion of phone service revenues return to the prisons' administrations as commissions. This is an illegal practice, if not a crime.
Investigations should be made into the practive to make sure how much the phone companies pay back to the prisons and where the payments go under the control of the prisons' administrations.
The article seems to imply a causal relationship between the frequency of calls prisoners make and the probability of them shunning a life of crime when they are released. I believe it is just a correlation. Those who have stronger bonds with their family tend to keep in touch with their loved ones more often. They are naturally also less likely to reoffend. I don't believe the cost of phone calls is necessarily significant factor influencing the rate of resocialization of inmates.
While the rates are out of line with what the general public pays for a call, it is not the first time the inmate has been out of line with the general public. I do feel for the children and loved ones of the inmates. However there is a price to be paid for breaking society's rules and it turns out that high phone rates might be one of those downsides.
I would suggest that the US might want to take a lesson from our neighbors to the south, Mexico. Mexico in many cases allows for inmates to have visits with their families, share a meal, and play together in an environment, while still in the prison, that appears to be family friendly. Personal contact with family members will do much more to reduce the potential for repeat offenders than lower phone rates. Maybe the prison's share of the commission should go for paying for such an addition to prisons instead of the sterile visiting rooms. Just a thought!
