US 6992594 B2 Abstract Disclosed is a Test Point Monitor (TPM) remotely coupled to a Test Point Interrogator (TPI) for the purpose of measuring and communicating cathodic protection voltage values from an object of interest, generally an underground pipeline. The TPM automatically measures cathodic voltage records them in its memory. A technician is guided towards the TPM by a handheld TPI. The TPI includes a GPS function, and when the technician is in range of the TPM, the TPI will call for the stored TPM data. The TPM is adapted for storing in its memory past voltage readings, and transmitting current and past voltage readings to the TPI. The TPI will store data from several thousand such TPM units for download into a main database via direct connection to the database, via wireless transmission, or via the internet.

Description This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/292,211 filed on May 18, 2001. The present invention is related to an improvement to the process of monitoring the protective voltage placed on buried steel pipelines subject to corrosion. Natural gas pipelines are of that type. At present, a sacrificial electrode (anode) is connected to gas pipelines at selected locations along their length. The sacrificial electrode prevents galvanic action from corroding the pipeline. It is necessary to periodically evaluate the integrity of the sacrificial anode electrode. This is done through an electrical lead connected to the pipeline (cathode). An electrical potential is generated between pipeline and a ground reference cell. A potential difference above a certain threshold, i.e. negative 0.85 volts, indicates an operable cathode. Impressed DC current from a fixed AC rectifier can also supply the cathodic protection voltage. Corrosion of buried pipelines including gas pipelines is abated by inducing a low power current in the pipeline through a buried anode. A properly protected pipeline will show a voltage of approximately −1 V. In one common configuration, it is measured through a process which requires a field technician to locate the test point, uncover it, attach a voltmeter to the test line, record the reading, disconnect and replace the cover. The corrosion status is monitored in this manner one or two times per year. These test points are often hard to find and require metal detectors and shovels to locate and expose. Other test points are difficult to access. For example, if a test point is located on a busy street, any testing will require traffic stoppage permits and testing may be limited to Sundays in the early hours. Some test points are above ground but in areas so remote as to be accessible only by all terrain vehicles or by air. The successful reading and recording of the buried pipeline corrosion status is mandated by federal law and essential to the safe transmission of gas through buried metal pipelines. Due to the difficulties resulting from the location and reading of these test points, it is desirable to provide a system that allows for remote and efficient testing of the integrity of a pipeline. Accordingly, the system of the present invention uses a radio frequency identification (RFID) type tag transponder. The device is installed in a protective housing near the cathode connection test point. The device has an internal lithium battery and remains in a sleeping state until it awakens with an internal timer and takes reads on a preset schedule. On interrogation by a wake-up radio frequency from a hand-held computer, the device broadcasts a signal with an encoded voltage reading, preferably on a 900 MHz wide spectrum band. This system would enable a vehicle to drive by a location and send out interrogation signals for nearby transponders. These transponders would in turn produce signals providing cathode protection voltage levels. The process can be executed entirely from a vehicle driving by the test site. This approach would be safer, save labor in a significant way, and would further provide a means for documenting readings. The data gathered by the interrogation hand-held computer is uploaded to a central database using cell phone connection, via the internet, or via direct connection to the database computer. Data is then analyzed and out of tolerance readings transmitted to the operator via email or other suitable means. Similarly, once repairs are made, confirmation readings showing the appropriate protective charge could be quickly gathered. The database storage of out-of-tolerance and repaired test point voltages, in combination with the multiple readings per test point, creates a system more easily and thoroughly monitored by the pipeline system operator and regulatory agencies resulting in greater integrity to the pipeline system. The invention described herein combines GPS (global positioning system) technology, RF (radio frequency) narrow band and Spread Spectrum communications, and extremely low power use components in a new system which would accomplish the automatic reading of the test points. The system includes a Test Point Monitor (TPM), designated by reference number 10 in Details of the TPM 10 are shown in The microcontroller 52 is powered either by an external power input 56 or a rechargeable battery pack 58, both which are regulated through a power regulating and control circuit 60. Memory for data and operating system software is retained on flash EEPROM memory 62 and RAM memory 64. A GPS receiver 68 receives GPS positioning signals via a GPS antenna 70 that provides location fixing information and status information concerning the TPM 10 to the microcontroller 52. In this manner, the system can identify test points in the immediate locality of the TPI 50. The identification tags for each of the test points being interrogated can also be stored within the EEPROM memory 62 and the RAM memory 64. A wake-up signal is sent via a wake-up transmitter 72 and the antenna 74 to the TPM 10. The antenna 74 also receives encoded cathode voltage readings from TPM 10 through a data receiver 76. Transmission of data stored within the TPI 50 to a central control center (not shown) may take place via telephone line modem 78 connected with phone jack 80, or by wireless transmission using a cell phone (not shown). Alternatively, the TPI 50 may be coupled directly or indirectly to the central control center via a corn port 82. The TPI 50 also includes the ability to monitor a TPI rechargeable battery 62 reserve level for uninterrupted service. A vehicle mount (not shown) will be used to provide TPI 50 power and remote antenna features for improved sensitivity. On removal from the vehicle mount there will be a transmission power reduction and a manual call signal trigger activated in the TPI 50 to protect the operator. The GPS 68 mapping features of the TPI 50 provide both visual and audio signals to a user indicating test point locations. Additionally, the TPI 50 is configured such that if the GPS 68 system locates a proximal TPM 10, the GPS 68 cooperates with the TPI 50 to automatically interrogate the proximal TPM 10 and thus automate the process of reading the cathodic voltage measured by the TPM 10. The life of the TPM 10 is extended by scheduling the interrogation signal listening mode for a predetermined time interval. Moreover, the life of the TPM is extended by enabling the TPI 50 to store the read history and thereby not unnecessarily interrogate a TPM 10 which has already been read within the established time interval. In an alternative embodiment, the TPM may have a replaceable battery for extended life. The TPM 10 may also interrupt measurements to estimate the polarized potential. This is accomplished by a TPM function that breaks the circuit between two of its lead wires and within one second, takes an off-voltage reading. The TPM 10 also allows for this interrupt feature to work with a coupon that is protected in the normal operating state and disconnected from the protective DC circuit for measurement. This interrupt or instant-off measurement can also be accomplished for structures protected by impressed current by using the GPS receiver 60 of the TPI 50 as a highly accurate timing piece. By synchronizing the TPI 50 with an impressed current interrupter, more than one TPM 10 used on that structure can be interrogated at precisely the correct time to give an �on� potential reading followed by an �off� potential reading. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is adapted to analyze the voltage readings and, if a critical problem exists, the TPM 10 initiates a emergency beacon or other suitable signal without being activated by the interrogation signal. The present invention provides the following benefits over the existing method. First, the frequency of voltage readings would be greatly increased so that a more thorough history is established. Secondly, the ease and speed of locating the test points using GPS and RF communications, especially in rural settings, would greatly reduce the man-hour requirements of testing and compliance. Thirdly, the ability to remotely receive data from units located in high traffic areas would reduce or eliminate the traffic problems associated with the current methodology. Fourthly, the TPI 50 will allow direct voltage readings from a test point where no TPM 10 is utilized. This type of reading is verified by ensuring that the GPS location of the TPI matches the database position for the test point being tested. Lastly, the database of precise GPS positions for each TPM 10 will allow for more rapid responses to pipeline emergencies. In alternative embodiments, the TPM 10 and TPI 50 of the present invention may be utilized to measure the cathodic voltages of other buried assets, as well as in difficult to access areas such as storage tanks or silos. For example, with a reconfigured antenna, the TPM 10 could be placed at an above ground test point for enabling data transmission to a TPI 50 located in an airplane or helicopter. Although this invention has been described in connection with pipelines for supplying natural gas, the concepts herein are equally applicable in other environments. For example, pipelines that transmit oil, petroleum, or water and that are made from steel or structural steel assets protected by cathodic voltage are also candidates for this invention. Numerous other applications will likely be available. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described embodiment is merely illustrative of but a few of the many possible specific embodiments of the present invention. Numerous and various other arrangements can be readily devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

Chicago, IL, ca. 1950
Untitled, 1959
An exhibition of self-portraits by recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier made from 1950 – 1976 will be on view at Howard Greenberg Gallery from November 8 – December 14, 2013. The exhibition coincides with the publication of the book Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits (powerHouse Books, November 2013) that surveys Maier's self-portraits, many of which are being shown and published for the first time. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, November 7, from 6-8 p.m. The story of Vivian Maier has practically become a photography legend: Born in New York City in 1926, she spent much of her youth in France. Returning to the U.S. in 1951, she worked as a nanny in Chicago and New York for 40 years. Reclusive and eccentric, she took pictures all the time, yet never showed them to anyone. From the 1950s to the 1990s, with a Rolleiflex dangling from her neck, she made over 100,000 images, primarily of people and cityscapes. Maier's massive body of work, which could have been destined for obscurity, was housed in a storage locker in Chicago for many years. Unbeknownst to her caretakers (three of the grown children she had looked after), the contents of her storage locker had been dispersed due to non-payment. Her negatives were discovered by Chicago-based realtor and historian John Maloof at an auction house in Chicago in 2007. Maloof pieced together the identity of the mysterious photographer, but Vivian Maier died in 2009, before Maloof was able to speak with her. In the years that followed, Maloof has brought her work to the attention of the art world and the general public; and since 2010, nearly 20 exhibitions of photographs by Vivian Maier have been mounted in the U.S. and Europe. Numerous critics have written that her work will be remembered as some of the best 20th-century street photography. Vivian Maier: Self-Portrait at Howard Greenberg Gallery is the first exhibition to explore the photographer's numerous self-portraits and the first U.S. gallery exhibition of her color work. Among the highlights is an untitled image from 1950 showing a young Maier with her short cropped hair and no make-up reflected in a framed mirror hanging next to several landscape paintings in an antique store or flea market. She looks professional in a blue jacket with a trench coat draped over one arm, a camera hanging from her neck. Another reflection of Maier, Anaheim, California, September 10, 1955, shows her profile surrounded by darkness: she looks almost elegant, yet vulnerable, in a small round mirror she appears to be holding. An untitled photograph from 1959 is more revealing, as Maier's image almost fills up the frame, showing her pixie haircut and a serious expression. Other self-portraits show Maier in shadow: one from 1954 shows her shadow cast on a beach; another beach shot shows Maier's head with her signature man's hat, her shadow looking almost ominous next to a woman sunbathing in a bikini. ~~~~~ Film A new film, Finding Vivian Maier, directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September. The U.S. premier of the film will be on held on November 17 at the New York Documentary Film Festival.

I picked up my 34 frame for a new project. What a piece of art, i also got everything else i needed for my project. One stop shopping at it's best. Duane is a hell of a nice guy and good to deal with. So if you guys need a frame or even parts Duane is the man to see....................
hes doing my 32 frame for 30 coupe,very helpful and dont push his opinion on you like alot of others,can do is his attitude
Those guys there take pride in there work....i get all my parts from them .i needed my axle drilled and they let me use there drill press and tools for a 12 pack....
Good ole Kiwi Hospitality aye .... We have a country full of Duanes.. lol Seriously though, he has a great reputation back here in New Zealand as well. .
You are sure to be a happy customer if you buy a frame, chassis or body from Duane. Also....he's a Hamber and an alliance vendor.
Duane is a great ambassador for Kiwi Hot Rodding in the USA. Not only does his business produce world class chassis, but he builds killer cars as well. Did you see his 59 Cadillac at Bonneville? Bitchin!
Yup, his heart is in the right place. Full credit to him. Also to Squeak, who got the whole shebang rollin' to start with!
Amen to what has been said Kiwi Konnection offer excellent products at realistic prices with no hype!
Duane's definitely one of the good guys....here's my '31 coupe sitting (poorly on my part...put it up for a rough idea....have yet to tackle raising floor of trunk area and correct placement of body on frame) on the '32 frame I bought from him
Squeak is still based in the USA, but regularly visits New Zealand. He had a great piss up at his place Saturday night of the CHRR last month... Noddy
I'm very happy with my Kiwi Konnection perimeter frame purchase for my 3w. Awesome welding and certain little things that I'm anal about were done exactly as I wanted. I have and will continue to recommend Duane.
I am glad to hear Sqeak is still around, awesome guy also. I have not met Duane yet, I guess it will happen one day soon.
http://blogs.hotrod.com/new-k-member-kit-for-deuce-frame-rails-36853.html#axzz3Ab52hk1P I would like to know more about this project...
Sorry but that is the wrong Squeak - Kiwi Konnection was run by Squeak Bell, not Squeak White like in your link.

Mild, Whole Milk, Fresh Cheese
From: Naked Cow Dairy
The dairy is operated by two sisters - along with a niece and two friends - and produce approximately 140 pounds of fresh cheese a week, along with varying amounts of fromage blanc (french style spreadable cheese), butter and cow's milk feta, at their Naked Cow Dairy. The dairy cows are raised without antibiotics and growth hormones, and its products have earned their name: They truly are naked, free of preservatives and artificial flavorings. Naked Cow butter comes in flavors like garlic herb, macadamia nut and honey, and sweet cream unsalted; because its made from the milk of grass-fed cows, its higher in beta-carotene, which gives it a slightly orange hue and a sweeter flavor.
After you have subscribed for a farmers` market bag, you can add specialty items as butter, coffee, nuts, beef, and jams to your order.Order the items you wish to purchase by clicking on the Add to Cart button below the item by Friday and we will make sure the item is included in your bag the upcoming delivery.

"Never mind Doc, he's drunk." - Wyatt Earp "Nonsense, I've not yet begun to defile myself." - Doc Holliday
Fishing is another hobbie I have but right now beer takes most of the time up.
2...but only cause its all i have
5 gallons of Honey Nut Brown 5 gallons of Buena Noche 5 gallons of Maibock 3 gallons of Apfelwien 1 gallon of Peach & Apple cider 4 gallons Apfelwein Brewing up 5 gallons of a Pils this weekend if the weather cooperates.
I have four 5 gallon batches going now and 8 little one gallon experimental things going. I actually hope to have room to do ten 5 gallon batches (including wine & beer) at a time once we have the new brew space converted. If HWMBC would stop buying old cars & things from store closings we would have the room & time to get it done.
I'm a lighweight. I usually have one 3 gallon fermenter of apfelwein going at all times, and usually a 6 gallon of beer. I bought another fermenter a month ago so that might change. The biggest hurdle for me is that I bottle all my beer. Bottling takes way too long especially since I'm a cleaning nazi.
I've never had more than three beers going at once, but counting meads, ciders and wines, I've hit 6. Four of those were one gallon batches.

Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us
Artist: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis
Producer: Ryan Lewis
Album: The Heist
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 31 votes )
I still can't kick the habit of going old school and making CDs for friends that want new music. I've found, though, that most of my mix CDs have one superior quality artist, who diminishes the quality of the others, and the name that comes up time and time again is this regard is Macklemore. Can't Hold Us, the new promo single with his other-artistic-half Ryan Lewis, to put it bluntly, is damn good in just about every sense. Lewis keeps ears guessing with a beat that includes the ivory keys and a stunning brass section, while feature singer Ray Dalton delivers a soulful showing on its own accord. And Macklemore? The still-unsigned artist (yup, you read that right) shows a less somber side while remaining all the more powerful with lines like "I grew up really wanting gold fronts, but that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you". If this can't hold you back from more on this duo, be sure to keep a lookout for them dropping great music here on DJBooth.

Everyone has individual preferences when it comes to choosing the best mattress to meet their needs. Watch our video for details: What is the best mattress?
There are two factors to consider when purchasing your child's first mattress: the comfort level, and, how long do you want the mattress to last? Watch our video: What is the best type of mattress for my child?
For a complete explanation, watch our video What is the difference between a Firm, Plush and a Pillowtop Mattress and read our guide to Mattress Comfort Choices.
Most side sleepers prefer a pillow top mattress. Find out why by watching our video: What is the best type of mattress for a side sleeper?
Stomach sleepers are happiest on Plush mattresses. Occasionally a stomach sleeper will like a firm bed, but that's only about 1% of you. So stomach sleepers should be looking for a 6.5 and up on our Comfort Scale. (This author is a stomach sleeper and has an 8.5 mattress on our comfort scale.) Watch our video: I generally sleep on my stomach. What is the best type of mattress for me?
Your chiropractor may suggest a mattress that he is very comfortable sleeping on, which may not be the best choice for you. Watch our video: What type of mattress would my chiropractor recommend?
All foam mattresses, such as latex and memory foam, and innerspring mattresses with a thick coil gauge are a great choice for heavier people. Foam mattresses provide exceptional pressure relief and use foam cores to ensure proper spinal alignment and back support. They also tend to last longer than innerspring mattresses in the same price range. If you want to keep your costs down, look for an innerspring mattress that has a tied coil system with thick coil gauges (below 15). In a tied coil system, the coils are linked together, resulting in a very solid, strong level of support. If you sleep with a partner and motion transfer is an issue, then you should consider an individually pocketed coil system with a thick coil gauge.
If you suffer from a medical condition that affects your back, then the best thing you can do is speak to a qualified physician about which mattress is best for your particular case. If your back pain is pressure related, then a mattress with a medium to soft comfort level is a great choice. If your pain is the result of a mattress that's too soft, then you should shop for a firmer model.
It's relatively easy to make your mattress softer, simply add a foam mattress topper. Watch our video: My mattress is too firm, how can I make it softer?
A firm mattress may not necessarily be the best mattress for you, everyone has individual tastes in comfort levels. Watch our video: Is a firm mattress the best type of mattress?
In this video: Is a firm mattress better for my back? Mattress Buyer Jed explains a firm mattress is not always the best choice when considering how it will affect your back.
The standard box spring and low profile box spring are very similiar. To find out which will work best for you, watch our video: Comparing Box Spring types.
Different manufacturer's have different policies on this issue. Watch our video for details: Will using my old box spring with my new mattress void the mattress warranty?
Call us to specify a "split box" spring on your queen size order, which is an option on queen size mattress sets. This means the box spring comes in 2 "halves", each of which is easier to move through tight spaces. (King size and Cal-King size sets will come as split box springs automatically, so no action is necessary on king size sets.) Watch our video: Can I get a split box spring?
Yes! A good foundation (otherwise known as a "boxspring") is as important as a good mattress! Not all manufacturers use the same type of foundations. It is critical for a new mattress to get the proper support from the foundation. Some manufacturers use a foundation that moves up and down as weight is applied to it (yielding). A yielding foundation acts much like a large shock absorber, taking a lot of the nightly wear and tear. These types of foundations increase the life of the mattress. Sealy, Serta, Stearns & Foster, Bassett, and Spring Air use these types of foundations. A mattress designed for a yielding foundation that is put on a non yielding foundation will not last as long. Some manufacturers use a foundation that has a solid surface and does not move up and down as weight is applied to it (non-yielding). A non-yielding foundation adds stability to the sleep set which will lessen the movement transferred between partners which will provide more undisturbed sleep. Simmons uses this type of foundation. A mattress designed for a non yielding foundation that is put on a yielding foundation will sag over time and not provide the correct back support.
Every mattress made by a trusted manufacturer is built with a strong support system. Some support systems, such as those found in Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, are even developed with the help of orthopedic surgeons. For that reason, you should focus on finding a mattress that suits your comfort preferences.
The best way to find out if it's time for a new mattress is to ask your body. Do you wake up with aches and pains? Do you toss and turn a lot throughout the night? Can you see excessive body indentations and deep cavities in the mattress? These are the best ways to determine whether or not your mattress is still capable of properly supporting your body. If your mattress isn't delivering the amount of comfort and support your body requires for healthy sleep, then you should purchase a new one.
Learn about the facts you should consider when shopping for a new mattress. Watch our video: How do I shop for a mattress?
Just call 800-455-1052 or e-mail. We carry every name brand mattress set. (Sometimes there are just too many to list on our site.) Greater than 95% of our call-in customers will be matched up to the same mattress they are looking for. And yes, the same mattress will have a different name at a different retailer. Just call, or e-mail, we will find it for you. Also, please check our Stearns & Foster model matcher. Also watch our video: Why can't I find the mattress brand that I'm looking for on your website?
Mattress lines usually change every 12 to 18 months. So if your mattress is more than 12-18 months old you probably will not be able to find it. However there will most always be a replacement that will be similar, use our trademarked Comfort Scale to find the same feel you like, then price it and click, and your mattress will be on its way.
Sleeping well in a hotel bed is often a signal that your present bedding may be worn out. Some hotels will use name brand mattresses and you can match the ones you've slept with in our hotel mattress section or call us and speak with our factory trained representatives that can help you find your perfect mattress. Hotel owners with a tax ID are eligible for quantity discounts.Watch our video: Can I buy the same type of mattress that hotels use from US-Mattress?
Mattress prices range greatly: from $249-$4,000 for a queen set. A good night's sleep is one of the best investments you can make, so buy the best mattress you can afford. Keep in mind that most of us spend as much as one-third of our time in bed. Your investment will cost just pennies per night over the next ten years! In fact, a $1000 sleep set costs less than 28 cents per night (based on a full 10-year warranty).
This can be a confusing issue. In this video: Prorated vs Nonprorated Warranty, Mattress Buyer Jed explains how these warranties differ.
US-Mattress has the widest selection of top brands available at the best prices. Watch our video: Why buy from US-Mattress?
Learn about our 100 day Comfort Guarantee. Watch our video: What if I don't like the mattress I purchased at US-Mattress?
Yes. Period! We are a factory authorized retailer for the brands we carry. All of our mattress sets come brand new from the factory, and are shipped in the original factory packaging bags bearing new mattress tags. We do not carry or sell seconds, reconditioned, used, etc., mattresses or box springs. For additional safe shopping tips, visit the Federal Trade Commission's site on the subject.
Mattress companies generally give retailers permission to use brand names for their mattresses that are exclusive to their store. Watch our video: Why can't I find a specific brand name mattress on your website?
Yes, please look through our platform mattress only section to see our wide range of options. It is fine to use a mattress by itself as long as it is on a solid surface like a platform bed. We recommend against putting a new mattress on an old foundation. Using an old foundation with a new mattress will almost always ruin the mattress. Even if the foundation looks new, a new mattress will soon sink into the areas were an old foundation has been worn. Mattress sets wear out together, so if the mattress is worn out, so is the foundation. Putting a new mattress on an old foundation may also void your warranty.
When we sleep, our bodies restore, rejuvenate, and regenerate. It's a time to recover from the previous day while repairing and preparing for the next. If your mattress isn't giving you the deep, restful sleep that you need, then you should find one that makes up for what yours lacks. Today's mattresses are made with cutting edge sleep technologies that are designed to enhance our quality of sleep, so you can experience drastic improvement by sleeping on the right mattress.

Today's mattresses no longer require flipping. They are constructed to give years of support with no maintenance required. The top of the mattress is for sleeping on while the bottom is a base that will cover your foundation. So once we deliver your new no flip mattress you will never need to flip it over, and over, like the old 2 sided mattress required. They are now maintenance free!
2 sided mattresses were the norm for many years, these mattresses had a sleeping surface on both sides and needed to flipped over from time to time as part of the maintenance cycle. 1 sided mattresses, also better known as "no flip", require no maintenance and have only one side that you sleep on. So there is no need to flip or maintain it.!
All of the bedding manufacturers we carry subscribe to the International Sleep Products Association standard for bedding products. However due to tolerances within manufacturing, your mattress set may have a +/- 1" tolerance. Listed below are the generally accepted dimensions for mattress sizes.

Keeping bedding clean is simple with the use of a protective mattress pad. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method.

The Better Sleep Council advises consumers to buy the highest quality bedding they can afford, then replace old bedding every 8-10 years. After this many years, even the best bedding may no longer provide the comfort and support you deserve.
Select mattresses have two sides, which double their comfort and support life. We recommend that these mattresses be flipped on a regular basis. Mattresses contain many layers of upholstery padding to increase their comfort life and support performance. Body indentations can be a normal occurrence in new mattresses, which indicates that the upholstery layers are conforming to a person's individual body contours. To help minimize body impressions, and to prolong that new bed feel year after year, mattresses should be turned occasionally throughout their life. For convenience, we've illustrated the best method.
Ideally you should wash your sheets once and week. Watch our video: How often should I wash my sheets?

There was no reason for declining my application. The interviewer was subjective because I have a slight foreign accent. This could be the only reason which is unfair and discriminatory.

Interview DetailsI applied online and was sent an email a few days later to do testing online. I then did a short interview followed by a second longer interview. The interview was pretty basic. The first interview they go over hours, work days, pay and let you know they provide the computer but you will have to provide a 19" monitor. They give you a list of project available and you choose which one you want to work. Some are technical and some are straight customer service.

4.15 / 5.00 4,348 ViewsHALLOWEEN BANNER IS STILL UP, THUS I AM NOT LATE.
This is by far my biggest project I've ever completed. The filesize before it was compressed was so large it crashed my computer four times, and the file got corrupted three times setting me back several days. That's why the second half of the animation seemed rushed.
WARNING: I suggest setting the quality to Medium because of the intense graphics that make even my ultra-soopur-awexzomes computer lag. It also goes at about half the normal speed if you expand it.
Great Job!
I'm glad to see you finally finished this, it turned out great! I love the music, it fits the animation perfectly, and vice-versa.
Pretty decent
Though im sure the dedication part was quite hard eh~ :P
Good length, some disign problems like a torpedo instead of a rocket.
overall it's ok not so intertaining thou, there where no surprises

Unsung Heroes
Building a solid channel program is never a one-man show. It takes a team -- and often a pretty big one -- to arm partners with the resources and support they need to be successful. And while some channel team members get their fair share of recognition, not all of them do. In fact, there are countless channel executives who work tirelessly to support their partners, without ever gaining the recognition of the channel at large.
This list aims to change that. CRN's "100 People You Don't Know But Should" spotlights some of the channel's best and brightest executives who may not be as visible as some channel chiefs or CEOs, but are just as important to the partner community. Consider them the channel's unsung heroes.
Here's Part 2 of our list. For a look at more of the behind-the-scenes channel executives clearing the way for channel business to get done, check out Part 1.

Hey all, It used to be that two tamers working together could make their lives easier. The lower skill tamer would tame a creature and release it, which would increase it's taming difficulty for the higher skilled tamer. It seems like now I cannot gain at all from a creature tamed by another player... did something change I should be aware of? Is there an easier way to gain in taming now? Thanks!
If anything has changed with taming gains, this is the first I've heard of it. I haven't seen any mention of a change in the publish notes or heard anyone talk about it. So it's either a very sneaky change or a bug... But we need to rule out anything in the "user error" category first You've probably checked some/most/all of the following but it's always worth double checking: Firstly, check you have skill points available and taming is set to raise. Obvious I know, but I've caught myself out with that at least a few times now so just be sure. Second, be sure that you haven't tamed the creatures before. Thirdly, be aware that someone else might have tamed and released those creatures before you and your friend arrived. Which will bump up their skill requirement even further. Possibly too high for you to gain effectively. To be absolutely sure, kill the spawn when you arrive and start with fresh ones. Ask your friend to "tag" the names of his/her tames too if poss, and kill them after you tame the second time. Lastly, just check the taming difficulty of your chosen creature is correct for giving you gains after your friend tames it. This page gives you a list of tamable critters and their difficulty as pretames too. You can get gains at anywhere from 40-90% success, 50% being ideal. But don't go below 30% Let us know if you get those gains going again or if you need more help Wenchy
what skill are you at and what are you trying to make more difficult so you can get a better chance at a gain? One of the best ways i tamed and got some extra out of it was the savage ridgbacks in the camp in ish. Put on savage kin paint, tame them and let the savages kill them, Cut them up for hide and and you can get gains and piles of spined leather. when you get higher nowadays it is easier to just use jewelry to get to 120 My SW tamer only has lok 105 real taming. it lets me use the skill points eleswhere.
I had an issue a few weeks ago where I thought I wasn't getting any taming gains. I had returned to uo from a 5 year absence and thought surely I must be due for some gains. turns out, my options were set to default settings, which only show skill increases when they increase by 1.0, not .1, so I was getting gains, it just wasn't notifying me on screen. may not be the same issue you're having, but hey, you never know. good luck.
Well, I gained all the way to 102.2 on bulls, and now it's just stuck there, despite a lot more taming. So I tried pretaming them for a long time, and that didn't give me a gain either. I'll do ridgebacks once the area is open again, but at the moment this is about it.
Your other option is to tame cu sidhe and work the spawn while you get gains. You'll want to put on some jewels etc to boost up your chances of taming quickly, but I find it's a good way to get some gold and pets I can see (esp if you get a blaze as I did) and it's just a lot more interesting than ridgebacks at that level If you've got other skills to train too, it might help with those. Especially things like barding. I did hit a wall around that skill level with my first tamer, hence why I can't look at ridgebacks again lol. Could just be that or the gains hamster is being particularly stingy with you. I'd try cu's. I often just grabbed my GGS and it was optional if I wanted to spend a few hours with cu sidhe. But those became my PvM as well as training taming. I used to log out in the cave bit outside and then I could do a full taming session or just grab my GGS if I wanted. Wenchy Wenchy

I've noticed that with IE8 and IE9, if I call my RESTful API using jQuery.ajax() with POST and PUT verbs, then I don't get back any response headers in jqXHR. However, GET requests work as expected.
This behavior is different from all other browsers. I've verified that Chrome, FF, Opera, and Safari all return the full set of expected headers in the response for POST and PUT requests. Only IE8 and IE9 seem to be throwing the headers on the floor. (One thing I haven't checked is what happens with HEAD requests.)
I've verified with Fiddler that the headers are actually making it over the wire, so the problem is either with jQuery itself or with IE8 and IE9.
Is this a known issue? If so, is there a workaround. Can I overload/overwrite something in jQuery to preserve headers following POST and PUT? My current workaround is to simply refetch the modified data using a GET inside the success callback since IE8 and IE9 don't mess with headers for GET operations.
Here's a snippet of my main jQuery-based AJAX worker method:
url: String.format(um.proxy.url, url),
type: ajaxParams.verb,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: String.format('{0}', ajaxParams.jsonData),
headers: mapOfHeaders,
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
error: function (msg, textStatus, errorThrown) {

Toyota Eclipses 10 Million In Camry Sales
TORRANCE, Calif., July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today reported 10 million sales of its Toyota Camry, America's top-selling car for the past 11 years, representing nearly 20 percent of all vehicles Toyota has ever sold in the U.S. This milestone comes the same year Camry celebrates its 30 year anniversary in the U.S.
"We couldn't be more excited about Camry's 10 millionth sale in the U.S.," said Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. "With the support of so many loyal customers, Camry has truly become part of the country's fiber. For seven generations, Toyota dealers have also been instrumental in getting Americans behind the wheel of a Camry. Camry is definitely helping Toyota Go Places."
Toyota's first generation Camry was introduced to the U.S. market in 1983. In its first full year of sales, Camry sold 52,651 vehicles. Three decades later, 773 of those Camrys are still in operation.
Toyota brought Camry production to its plant in Georgetown, Ky. in May of 1988, marking the company's early commitment to investment in North America. In October 2006, the first Camry hybrid was produced, strengthening Toyota's hybrid leadership position in the U.S.
Overall, there are approximately 6.4 million Camrys on the road, further echoing the quality, reliability and durability still represented by Camry seven generations down the line. This year, J.D. Power and Associates underscored Camry's value by ranking it number one in the midsize passenger car segment in its 2013 Initial Quality Study (IQS). Today Camry is also the most American made car with 75 percent of its content sourced domestically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I greeted him, and he looked me up and down like an insect, and said nothing and kept staring straight ahead. Pretty much sums up my experience working at the firm and its culture created by Mr. Shrader. Needless to say I quit shortly thereafter.

Re: Restaurant Suggestions
Thanks Pedmar but I should update my restaurants tips! Restaurants tips weather fast!
The best address in my opinion should be:
La Girole, 15 rue du Dr Mazet. Traditional French cooking. Better to book in advance.
Grenoble has a very important population of Italian origin (around 25%) and there are many excellent Italian restaurants but may be this is not what you are looking for. Anyway :
Ciao a te, 2, Rue de la Paix. Family run Italian restaurant. It is a restaurant, not a pizzeria and they do not serve pizza. Book in advance: depending of the day, it can be booked out several days in advance. The owner will help you to choose your meals and wine.Be the first to rate this answer!
