Match Preview
Martinez ready for trial by Gunners Everton boss Roberto Martinez expects his summer's work to be put to the test as Arsenal visit Goodison Park this weekend. Martinez's side, who finished fifth in the Barclays Premier League last season, opened their new campaign with a 2-2 draw at Leicester last weekend. Although frustrated to be held to a point, Martinez was pleased with many aspects of the performance and is encouraged for the year ahead. But he accepts that FA Cup winners Arsenal, who are hoping to mount a stronger title challenge this season, will provide a greater yardstick for his side's position. The intensity will not drop next week either, with Chelsea travelling to the blue half of Merseyside. Martinez said: "You need to face this sort of opposition. "What we saw last weekend is that we are really fluid in possession. The thing we need to change is that mentality to keep going forward and keep scoring goals. We didn't get that cushion that could have given us three points. "But if you look at the positives of the first half - I am really excited looking at this game. "It is true that until you play against sides like Arsenal and Chelsea you don't have the answers on the pitch. "As a team we are ready. I feel pre-season was perfect, a real success. "Now we have to make sure we are as strong a team as we can be. You can only see that when you face opposition like we are going to face at the weekend." With a month of last season remaining, Everton sat above Arsenal in fourth place but they faltered and eventually finished seven points behind the Gunners. This term they hope to sustain a longer challenge for a Champions League spot but Martinez expects the competition to be tighter. He said: "The league is going to be a lot more open than people think. "I see five teams with equal chances of winning the title and I think it is going to go come down to small margins. I expect this competition to be the tightest we have ever seen." Arsenal were involved in midweek action having travelled to Turkey for a Champions League play-off against Besiktas. Martinez does not think that will affect the Gunners negatively and, having also played in the Community Shield, they may even boast greater match-fitness. He said: "They have got a big enough squad and the mentality to cope. "It can be a positive as you can get rid of that rustiness and into a competitive frame of mind straight away. "Clearly when you are involved in such an important game like in Turkey you see them reaching full levels very quickly and that could be a negative for us. "It is going to rely heavily on how well we can play." Everton midfielder Darron Gibson could be back in contention. The Irishman, who suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage last October, has steadily built his fitness and is thought to be nearing a return. Right-back Seamus Coleman (hamstring) is also fit after appearing as a late substitute at Leicester last week but striker Arouna Kone (knee) and midfielder Bryan Oviedo (leg) are not yet ready and midfielder Ross Barkley (knee) faces a lengthy lay-off. Full-back Mathieu Debuchy believes Arsenal will be "incredible" once World Cup winners Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski have fully integrated back into the squad. The German trio are expected to be involved for the first time in the squad for Saturday's evening kick-off at Everton, having returning to London following an extended break after their triumph in Brazil. Arsenal have made a positive start to the new season, recording victories over Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley and Crystal Palace in the Barclays Premier League. They also left Istanbul with a goalless draw from the first leg of their Champions League play-off against Besiktas on Tuesday night. Debuchy, signed from Newcastle earlier in the summer, is confident once Arsenal have all their key men up and running again, they will prove a force to be reckoned with. "It is fantastic for me to be part of this team. When I see the squad now and I think that Ozil, Mertesacker and Podolski are still missing, it is incredible. It is an amazing squad," Debuchy told the September edition of the official Arsenal magazine. "Playing with them is pure happiness, even at training it is top level. "You have to give your best all the time because the level required is immense." Debuchy has settled in quickly at right-back, the B#16million France international filling the void left by the departure of compatriot Bacary Sagna to Manchester City on a free transfer. The 29-year-old is in no doubt everything is in place at Arsenal to help develop his game. "This is another dimension. If you compare the training grounds for example, nothing at Lille or Newcastle can match the one at Arsenal. It is another world," he said. "Everything here is made to optimise your preparation and you as a player so you can be in the best condition to play and win football games." Arsenal were beaten 3-0 at Everton in April last season, a result which dented their hopes of finishing in the top four. Wenger feels his squad have what it takes to produce the required performance away to the Premier League's stronger sides. "A team is life and life is movement. That means the team doesn't stand still, we move forward and improve," said Wenger, who must do without captain and former Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta, who will miss the game against his old club because of an ankle problem. "We have young players, which means that every year they can be better, also the team improves with success, which we had a reasonable (amount of) last year. "We have a good opportunity on Saturday to show that we have moved forward and that we are stronger than last year. "It will be interesting, because Everton are a team now flirting with the Champions League places. "They were close last year. They lost some pivotal games which allowed us to get (back) in front of them after they beat us, but they have the quality, so it is a good, good test."

Paris - The Violence Of The Lambs
Submitted by Jefferson2 on Fri, 09/16/2011 - 02:22An interesting speech about "American exceptionalism", and blowback that I stumbled across. I'm not much into rap, but this artist "Paris" seems to be aware of the situation.
I don't completely agree with the speech, but it is spot on for the most part, and I thought it was interesting given the current political discussion on foreign policy. This might have been a good answer for Sanitorium in the debate....8)

More Oil And Gas Drillers Turn To Water Recycling
Similar issues have arisen in arid parts of Wyoming, North Dakota, New Mexico and Colorado.
Farther east, states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, face different issues. There, water is relatively plentiful but disposal of wastewater has been bureaucratically difficult and expensive, while the sites that can collect it are scarce.
States are scrambling to draft regulations for the new recycling systems.
In Texas, requests for recycling permits rose from fewer than two a year in 2011 to 30 approved applications in fiscal year 2012. So the Texas Railroad Commission, the agency that oversees oil and gas operations, revamped the rules in March, eliminating the need for drillers to get a permit if they recycle on their own lease or on a third-party's property.
Commission spokeswoman Ramona Nye said in an email that the new rules are designed to "help operators enhance their water conservation efforts" and encourage recycling. In Ohio, disposing of drilling wastewater has hit some obstacles. Activity at a deep injection well near Youngstown was tied to one in a series of earthquakes, and a former officer of the firm that ran the operation has been indicted in connection with a separate dumping incident that allegedly violated the Clean Water Act. That led to a temporary moratorium on disposal sites in that region, stricter rules and an EPA review. Pennsylvania, meanwhile, has few dumping sites, and operators once paid large sums to haul wastewater to Ohio. Recycling has now become cheaper, and transports to Ohio have dwindled. Back in Texas, Fasken Oil and Ranch believes it solved many of its early problems with the containment pools, tanks, pipelines and trailers. Within six months, the company expects to reach its goal of using no freshwater in its fracking operations a¿¿ a feat made possible by combining recycled water with briny water drawn from an aquifer and treated.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

College Football & the NFL Draft The future stars of the NFL |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
01-08-2010 | #1 |
Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
OK, so the more I think about it, the more I think it's BS. The story we're being sold is that Colt wanted to come back in and give it his all. Nothing was broken; it was a sprain. Instead, the UT Longhorns' top priority was not to win their biggest game of the year, on the grandest stage, and win what passes for an NCAA title. No, their top priority was protecting Colt McCoy's future career in some unaffiliated league. I mean, if Colt was projected to go to the CFL, would they have acted the same?
I guess it's about time that the NCAA just openly declares that they're a farm league for the NFL (which we've all known for years anyway) and start conducting business as such. Last night was just a bit too overt for my tastes. Never mind that the whole sequence of events just seemed a little fishy anyway.

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
Of course Colt wanted to play. It was the national championship for christ's sake! But if the doc says you can't play then you can't play. I'm sure the Texas' coaches would have loved to put him back in, if he was 90% or close to it. But he wasn't. In the interview after the game he said his arm was dead. It didn't hurt, but he couldn't feel it at all. I doubt he would have been very useful in the passing game with a dead arm.

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
Colt wanted to play and he was going to play but the simple fact that his dad went to the locker room changed from I'm gonna play to...oh wait how much money will I get in April...
My point is that his daddy had his son not play because he won't f up his chances in the upcoming draft. Which every father would do that just the fact that his son wanted to play but he said no that is kinda messed up to me.

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
as wolverine mentioned, colt after the game said "i dont feel any pain ... i cant feel my arm at all". i'm as far as you can get from an expert, but if colt had gone to the trainer with "it hurts here and there's a sharp pain when i move it this way", there would probably have been a quick diagnosis followed by his return or report of injury. the numbness i can only assume worried the staff enough to bring in colt's dad, mack brown, and the doctors together to assess the risk. it seemed that colt wanted back in but was outvoted 3-1.
you're also missing one very important thing. why do kids go to college? colt mccoy's degree in throwing a football is going to earn him more than 99% of his graduating class. the NCAA is exactly what college is ... an elective for most, a major for others, and a direct opportunity for the top of the class. the only difference is that only 1 company is hiring.

Obviously if you cant throw a football, I doubt you will be very useful in a game.
Unfortunaly Gilbert gave UT their best chances to win the game. Nothing more. |

Apparently it was a pinched nerve. He would not have been able to throw the ball effectively in the game.

The entire point of college is for students to get an education and prepare for their professional life. I hardly see how it's fishy that a student who is about to graduate did what is best for his future.

the problem is not Colt but Mac Brown, College teams can be 100 strong and all Mac had was a Freshman QB for Back Up. That is a Mac Brown Problem by not having his second string ready.

Colt tried to throw in the tunnel and wasn't able to. He wasn't whining or crying after the game..he just said his arm was dead and he's a smart guy. He couldn't play. Period.
Mac did the right thing. He couldn't play. He didn't. |

Would you have done differently? He has his whole life ahead of him, and he didn't know what the damage was. Would you risk your entire future for one game? Even if its the Ncaa championship?
If I was asked, of course I'd say "I wanted to play!" Even if it was me saying "No way am I risking further injury"

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
I don't think anyone convinced Colt NOT to play, it was just the matter that he had an injury and would not have been effective on the field. If it WAS about the NFL and millions of dollars, how come he didn't go to the NFL Draft in 2009? He had the best season stat wise in 2008-2009 and I'm sure he wouldv'e been a high 2nd round pick.

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
Colt McCoy before the National Championship was already considered not a first round talent by most scouts. I will take the benefit of the doubt that he couldn't play, but this will hurt his draft stock even more.
I'm thinking an early third round pick, unless a team falls in love with some of his intangibles. |

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
The reason he wasn't successful when he first came in was because Greg Davis dummied down the offense and tried to protect him. When they finally decided to give him the keys to the car he started driving the team downfield. No way in hell we run that dumbass shovel pass with Colt in the game. The coaches went into prevent offense mode when Gilbert came in and that is probably what ultimately cost us the game in the end. |

Re: Colt Injury, NCAA Farm System, Etc.
First, let me say that I had not heard the reports about the dead arm issue. From what I heard, he thought he could go, he wanted to go, and the team (maybe Dad) vetoed him. If he couldn't throw the ball, then that's that.
Also, I'm perfectly OK with McCoy declining to play for career considerations. It would be weak, but that's the way the system has evolved. I just don't like the idea of the college making decisions based on a projected NFL career. It's BS.

True, but when you're a quarterback that scouts are already doubting, and have questions about your ability, getting knocked out of the National Championship doesn't make them think any higher of you.

They would have loved for Colt to come back and lead them to victory... but the bottom line is that Gilbert gave the Horns the better shot of winning. Has nothing to do with Colt's situation outside his arm.

Pulled Pork BBQ for party....close to Columbia
- 13

Looking to order some Pulled Pork BBQ for a birthday party at my house. Any suggestions of a good place that does catering orders (for about 35-40 people) close to Columbia, MD?
re: chowsearch
In the old Smokey Hollow location? Can anyone confirm this? I like Kloby's, and would be happy to hear that they filled that spot.
Depends how far you want to go...
In Bowie -KBQ gets postive reviews on this board. I have not gone.

It depends how picky you are. You can try Smokey and Uncle Grube's in Elkridge, or famous Dave's in Columbia. Neither is what I would consider great for their pulled pork (I prefer a lot of smoke and less cloying sauce).

Gotta go KBQ like MrsWheatie says. Solid pulled pork... really good sides as well. Best Sweet Tea in this area as well IMHO.

The Salt River Rafters and Phoenix Desert Dogs played to a 3-3 tie over 11 innings last night.
Three Nats farmhands played in the contest:
- Brian Goodwin was the DH and led off, but went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.
- Matt Skole batted third, played first base, and went 1-for-3 with two walks.
- Aaron Barrett tossed two scoreless innings, giving up two hits, but striking out three
Defensively, Skole played error-free in nine chances and even turned a 3-6-3 DP — not bad for a guy new to the position.
Barrett was the subject of Byron Kerr's latest missive on the minors, but I have a feeling folks might be more interested to learn that Kerr has confirmed what has long been suspected: Matt Purke has had shoulder surgery.
I've put in a couple of questions regarding a couple of other pitchers (Josh Smoker, Manny Rodriguez), though I suspect one or both has been released and the other, if not released, has had surgery.

Winter leagues have begun in Venezuela, Mexico and the Domnican Republic over the last few days. The Australian Baseball League begins its preseason tomorrow, regular season in 10 days while the Puerto Rican League starts three weeks from tomorrow. I'll begin weekly updates on the stats for all the offseason leagues starting next week. In the meantime, here's a look at the Nats players that have been spotted thus far (excluding players that did not play in the Washington minors this past summer):
Venezuela | Dominican Republic |
• Carlos Rivero | • Manny Mayorson |
• Tanner Roark | • Erik Davis |
Mexico | • Pat McCoy |
• Zech Zinicola | • Kevin Pucetas |
• Hassan Pena | • Atahualpa Severino |
3 Responses to "AFL Update: Oct. 17, 2012"
It wouldn't make sense for them to release Rodriguez, they're barely into his conversion to pitcher. Hardly enough time to find out if it'll work.-
That's why I'm leaving open the possibility he was hurt, but if he wasn't, why else would he have not appeared in either the GCL or Auburn?
He would have at least thrown in the GCL if he wasn't hurt. All signs point to an injury.

Gooney Bird Greene has a fabulous idea after her teacher reads fables to the class. The children learn that fables are stories with animal characters that teach something important. Gooney's fabulous idea is that each student create their own fable and tell it to the class! Everyone but Nicholas is excited about their stories and costumes. Can Gooney Bird find out why Nicholas is unhappy and get him to join in the fun? Now that would be truly fabulous!

I have Rio sinktip for my 7wt rod and pretty lucky with it (slick coating and very easy to rollcast) but not happy with my floating line: I've bought SA Ultra 3 2 months ago and coating already cracked; rod won't load quickly in one arm movement with this line and also line is very thick so doesn't fit very well even to my 7/8wt-rated reel with 100yrd backing. I was enjoyed by Dennis Dickson' "shooting head system" (he use 5wt Loomis with forward section from 7wt line attached to running line). It's very easy and pleasant to cast. Could anybody share their experience with different flyline brands and types?
Pete Pilkey Boy Vic Do I hear you! I have had very good luck with Cortland. Have several SA, which have served well. I have found very little difference between the very expensive to cheaper lines as to durability, excpt the weight in my wallet. I fish 5 days a week, using a 4 wt and a 5 wt,and my lines usually hold up for several years. You might get a hold of SA, and tell them what happened, I think they would make it right. Coming up from the old days, the lines of today are cadillac. For my style of fishing, I much prefer a double taper, but I also have WFs for other situations. When I used to fish a lot of steelhead, I had some godawful things I put together to lob out there. Check out some of the new Cortland specialty lines for that business. if you are throwing a 7 wt line, they might be able to help you. Good luck, I will be watching here to get some good info too.

Poor Service - Can't Get a Hold of Managers
Posted by
TOLEDO, OHIO -- Hi I purchased an icomfort mattress and adjustable box in October of 2013 from Value City in Toledo, Ohio. I was told I would receive a $300 gift card. This is the only reason I paid for the set at that moment. I have not received gift card and have been given the run around with every store visit and office call about the issue. Not one time had an manager apologized for the inconvenience nor have I even spoken to a manager due to they are never available when I call or visit. The customer service reps keep saying the same thing time after time -they will note my account. I don't receive a call back or anything. Now if I don't hear from someone I would like for Value City to just pick up the mattress and I can spend my money else where. I have dealt with Value City for years and this is actually quite ridiculous. I have down about and maybe over $4000 for the set and to have to make many calls over a gift card is ridiculous!!! I will no longer shop at this store and I will never refer anyone either. If the issue is not addressed I will take further action. It's not just about the gift card anymore it goes further than "just" that. I spent my hard earned money in this store and the least I could get is a meeting or call with a manager!!
I've tried to contact corporate about the issue and even that is hard to do. As a business you should try to make a repeat customer happy. I am not satisfied with my last purchase or the customer service!

Damaged Velvet Headboard
Posted by
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA -- I purchased a velvet headboard from Value City Furniture and the box appeared to be in good shape, no holes or anything. After making arrangements to have this item picked up, I get it home and open the box and it has a big hole in the headboard and someone had patched it up. The supervisor told me that it wasn't his fault that it was the manufacturer. What kind of mess is that, Value City is selling the furniture but when it comes to a damaged item now its not their fault. Anyway after informing them that I will be giving them a review and contacting the BBB, then they tell me they would give me back $25.00 on a $220.00 headboard. Won't be purchasing anything else from them!

Poor Customer Service
Posted by
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- I ordered a daybed with a trundle via Value City Furniture's website for my son's room June 26, 2013. They left me an automated message Saturday July 13th and told me they would deliver the bed to my home Monday July 15th. Since I work and was unable to be at home that day, I called them and asked them for a Saturday delivery (July 20th). I was given another automated message Friday, July 19th, telling me to expect the bed between noon and 2pm the next day.
I called them at 3pm on the 20th because the bed had not arrived. They then informed me that the bed was OUT OF STOCK (even though they had initiated two calls to me to set up delivery), and would not be available until August 8th.
I think it is tremendously poor service to schedule delivery of an item not once, but twice, and then make the homeowner wait for a delivery when the item was not even in stock.
I will be cancelling my order (of course they've already charged my credit card) and will be taking my business elsewhere, for this bed and for all future furniture purchases.

Does Not Stand Behind Warranty. Does Not Believe Customer.
Posted on
HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND -- This is my second review - same issue. I did receive a call from corporate headquarters. Even after I was assured they would correct the problem of the leather peeling, they did not want to do what the warranty stated. After a couple calls, I am told we can either have the back replaced for a fee or forfeit the remainder of the 6+ years of the 7 year warranty and they will replace the back for free. We paid the same price for the warranty as they were going to charge us for the new back. We chose to discontinue the warranty because they didn't stand behind it anyway. We will get a new back (hopefully) and that will be that. Even though I mentioned to the corporate office that the two sides did not match (leather and color is different), she simply said that there are discolorations and they are not always the same. We feel certain that the side that is peeling off was one that was previously damaged and they gave it to us. We will not go to Value City Furniture in the future to purchase anything. Customer Service is so very important and they do not have it there.

Customer Service? I Apologize
Posted by
OHIO -- Would you like a couch? Don't go to Value City. Would you like customer service? Don't go to Value City. Do you want to have nothing but problems after you have place an order? Or do you want to wait for a product to be back ordered continually. If so you want to go to Value City. That is exactly what you will get, and after days, weeks and months of frustration you know what you get? I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm sorry to. That after the dissatisfaction I have received repeatedly I will never step foot in your store again,. and be sure to tell everyone who will listen the horrible service I received. I too work in a customer driven industry usually 2 or more homes a day, people like to talk so I plan to talk about this in every home I go into. NOT TO MENTION DAILY POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. I am usually pretty even tempered but this is unbelievable to me. they don't care about there customers. or the inconvenience they give to you. DAVE R.

Bed warranties
Posted by
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -- We purchased two twin bed mattresses from Value City Furniture and the sales representative NEGLECTED to tell us that YES we had a sleep comfort warranty, but they won't credit us for the purchase - just in store credits. That changes EVERYTHING when you are pricing mattresses!!! Would not have bought from this store if we knew this - other stores we shopped DO NOT do this!!! The bed worked for my husband, but not for me. Unfortunately we bought the most expensive bed they had and now are STUCK with the beds. In store credit is of no value as we will NEVER be going back. They are recommending that we start all over and try to find a bed that works for both of us. Truth is - that's what we tried to do originally - the whole reason we got split twin beds so we could have choices. We do not want a 13" mattress beside an 11" mattress - would look terrible.
Great customer service - "Sorry, we know you tried to get two twins to resolve two different sleep issues (2 twins/King), but pick another one and yes, you won't get your money back so you can just buy more furniture here. Not a good way to Win customers!!!! Why would anyone buy beds here when the sleep warranty doesn't help resolve the money differences in the end. Your purchase price is FINAL!

Don't bother with warranty - they won't pay
Posted by
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Since we had full leather damage coverage, we called in the damage we noted on the sofa. After 2+ weeks, a representative from the warranty company came out (he was as rude in person as he was on the phone). You could tell that his sole purpose was to try to find a way to NOT pay for the damage. He told us nothing.. but low and behold.. 3-4 weeks MORE (a total of almost 8 weeks later) we got a letter saying it was denied. There was only one spot peeling and the rest of the sofa was well kept but still they denied.
Never again will VCF see any of my business. Absolutely atrocious!

Biggest rip off
Posted by
GREEN BROOK, NEW JERSEY -- We signed the contract and paid in full for a set of power reclining sofas. A day later we were contacted by the sales person saying the price was only for manual reclining and that power recline would be $309 more. We had to cancel the contract because they were not willing to "eat the loss". I looked these people up on Better Business Bureau and they had an awful rating! I should have done that in the first place and saved myself the heart ache. The manager actually said to me that I was threatening him when I said I would post my experience on-line. I don't do threats. I just hope this posting helps other people/consumers.

Lost table
Posted by
ESSEX, MARYLAND -- I bought a whole livingroom set and 2 wooden tables for my basement. When ALL the furniture was delivered (except one of the wooden tables)and set up. I asked about the second table that was paid for. They said the people in the store couldn't find it. I wanted to take 2 of them at the time of order, but they wouldn't let me. Now I am missing a table and they don't sell them any more. They can't find one anywhere. They had to have sold the table I already paid for to someone else. Next time I'm taking what ever it is right off the showroom floor before they have time to sell to another person.

Complete lack of Customer Service & questionable billing practices
Posted by
FLORENCE, KENTUCKY -- Spend almost $5,000 on 3/27/11, asked about 12 months same as cash and told yes so I put $3,000 in cash down w/balance 12 months same as cash. Told set would be delivered 4/20/11. Most of the set was delivered on 4/20, but missing parts and mattress cover which I paid extra for. I called right away and was told they had to check with the driver. Received call back, couldn't reach driver but, had a mattress cover that I could come and get. I was told they would follow up on the shelves. A week later someone called to verify that we were waiting for the shelves. When I called again on April 29 I was told to call Customer Service at the Tri-County Ohio store. I did, after being bounced around and on hold more for a while, I hung up & called the store that I purchased from and told them to call customer service at Tri-County & find out what was going on and call me back which they did and was put on hold AGAIN, then told that the Customer Service Manager was going to investigate but would be out Monday and that I would receive a call on Tuesday, May 3rd which came and went with no call. I called AGAIN on May 5th, I guess an unhappy customer still doesn't warrant a manager's time.. After a few minutes customer Service gets back on the phone to tell me that they ordered the shelves and they would be delivered and installed on MAY 27th, 2 months after purchase! I told them I didn't need the shelves installed and was asked if I wanted to pick them up then. Are you kidding me! I've already had to go back 3 times for various reasons having to do with this purchase. At this point, I think the customer service manager should deliver personally. If that's not enough, I gave $3,000 as the down payment and they verified my VCF Credit Card for the 12mos same as cash and charged me the entire amount right then. I called next day & told them to either give me 13 months same as cash for balance or take if off card because it would be a month before I took possession of any product. Then I receive a bill with minimum payment AND reflected a higher interest rate than it should've been based on when my account was opened. These rates were defined on the receipt. When calling customer service about the 12 months same as cash and why the minimum payment, I was told the salesperson must have misunderstood! Then I asked about the interest rate and they had no response at all. Since I will pay if off before then I didn't push the issue. I'm so disgusted with VCF! When advertising, in addition to stating they cut out the middle man, they should also disclose that they've cut out customer service also.

Title: | Experiments in the Control of a Flexible Robot Arm |
Author: | Hastings, Gordon Greene ; Book, Wayne John |
Abstract: | Control of flexible manipulator arms offers high performance, light weight, and low cost over conventional rigid members. Presented is an experimental system for evaluating control systems. A dynamic modeling procedure is outlined and an optimal control system is discussed. Reconstruction of flexible modes is accomplished using strain gage data. Velocity of flexible modes is estimated with a reduced order observer. Experimental data is presented to verify dynamic modeling and modal reconstruction. Initial results using a deterministic optimal controller are presented. |

What Do You See?
For some years I've been privileged to be a guest speaker on various cruise ships a few times a year (sponsored onboard as a Smithsonian Speaker), sharing knowledge about astronomy and space science. The trips have been nearly all over the world (although there are still places I haven't been). They've given us a chance to take a peek at some lovely skies and learn together about the universe. It's a dream job and I enjoy doing it when my sponsors invite me aboard.
One of the most amazing things to me (among many) about doing that job is getting to meet people from nearly all walks of life onboard. And, it's equally amazing to find out what an interest most people have in "what's up in the sky". The world's space programs have kindled an interest in outer space in many people, and some of my most memorable conversations have been with passengers and crew who have read about a mission or a discovery and want to know more.
I remember once we took a crew member from Bali out to the upper deck who wanted to know the names of some of the southern hemisphere constellations. He had never had the chance to find out what all those different star patterns were. So, we stood out there for quite a while, showing him the Southern Cross, Carina, and then surprising him with a look at one of the Magellanic Clouds, explaining that it was another galaxy. His fascination was palpable, and during the rest of that trip, he brought other crew members to me to ask their questions about the sky.
On that same voyage, a few nights later, we were having a star party on the top deck (open to all), and I got into a fascinating conversation about ancient astronomy with a rabbi from Jerusalem. We were joined by one of the officers, a young woman from Holland, who told us that her father had been an amateur astronomer for many years, and that he taught her about stargazing and navigation before she went to sea.
One day on a ship in the Mediterranean, I was giving a talk about exploring the Moon and Mars, and I had a guy ask me how to calculate an orbit around the Moon. I began to explain from first principles how you do the calculations, and he waved his hand again and said, "What about mascons?" I looked at him in amazement, and he finally stood up and told us that he used to work on the Apollo missions. One of his jobs was to calculate orbits for the mission and that mascons were a big part of the calculation. Turns out he was on a cruise reunion of others who worked on the same missions.
I've since had many experiences like that, showing me that there is an abiding interest in the sky that all of us share. In essence, we share the sky, and the sky (and its exploration) is and always be part of our history.
A lot of people, when they find out that we do star parties at sea assume that the skies must always be stunning, out away from the cities and towns. It's true that the skies are stunning, but we don't always get to see them. Weather plays a big role, and many a night we've planned a star party only to find out that it's raining, or too windy to go out. Sometimes the weather is fine, but the humidity or "surface clutter" futzes up our viewing. If we happen to be cruising along at a good clip, the ship itself throws mist into the air, and that affects our seeing, too. On some nights, only the brightest stars and planets shine through.
Another factor is safety. All passenger ships have lighted railings so that passengers may find their way safely around the decks at night. Some ships have very bright strings of lights up top, and a few have giant movie screens that you can see for miles. The result is less-than-desirable conditions for stargazing. On some ships, I can ask for lights out, and, subject to the captain's judgment, we can get permission for a dark area on the top deck for perhaps an hour. But, safety concerns rule everything we do, and sometimes we just make do with the conditions we have. One one cruise I was actually a full crew member (required by the country we were heading to—I could be a passenger or I could be crew, so they made me crew) and I had a short course in Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), and those safety reasons were drilled into us in the class. So, I understand when the captain does not give permission for lights out, and we do the best we can.
That being said, there is NOTHING like a dark sky at night at sea when you can experience it. To paraphrase Roy Batty in Blade Runner, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe…" such as the Magellanic Clouds nearly overhead (which, for northern hemisphere dwellers is a distinct treat), star clusters in the southern Milky Way, the faint glow of the aurora australis off the coast of South America, the Pleiades rising in the early morning one late autumn night in the Mediterranean, and many other cool cosmic delights.
When you're out at sea watching the stars, you're taking part in an activity that goes back to the earliest humans who explored the planet. Somewhere in our distant past, we learned to use the sky as a wayfaring guide, a navigational map. We figured out the season from watching the sky, and from that knowledge, we learned to live and thrive. There is much truth to what Carl Sagan said: that we are the descendants of astronomers. You don't need to go to sea to get that feeling—stargazing for a long period from any dark sky site will give it to you, too. But, I never felt it more keenly than when I was onboard a ship in the Mediterranean, off the coasts of Israel and Egypt, looking at the same stars the earliest people who lived in those areas saw, who used their observations of the sky to formulate many of the precepts that underlie what we know about the stars, planets, and galaxies today.
So, what do you see when you stargaze from a ship? Stars, of course. But also, the things that taught our ancestors how to travel and explore. They and the stars gave us a mighty legacy. I'm glad we still explore today.

Let's hope people who do care actually vote. History tells us that peolpe will complain and let things go as they are, without acting. I wouldn't be surprised if they voted themselves a big raise for doing such a great job.

CD's!!!!!!!!!! Obviously the way to go. You're absolutely correct, CD's are the way to go, but they aren't the perfect solution either. Most of my collection was bought used and I'm always shopping for new (used) stuff, but it's crazy to see how bad CD's deteriorate. That old stuff from the 80's and 90's, especially the discs with the chrome tops, hold them up to a light source and it's crazy to see how many of them have pinholes, which means there's no longer any music in that hole. And I'm talking about discs that in many cases don't have a scratch on them. |

QUOTE A disc with pinholes could give you a confidence of 5, but a truly perfect one would probably be much higher. That's not how confidence works. The confidence of 5 means that 5 other people ripped the exact same CD (same pressing) and got the exact same result. Moreover, the new version of AccurateRip does recognize different pressings, as evidenced by your ripping log. QUOTE Track 1: Ripped LBA 37 to 24940 (5:32) in 1:21.

My downloadable products always timeout around 360 MB and I am going under the assumption that it is not a file dl limit because it fails between 360 and 370MB. I have made most of the obvious settings in my php.ini higher, but It still isn't working. I can download it from a direct link so I assume that it is a php setting, just not sure where to look. Anyone else having this issue?
Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but what I did was comment out this in the .htaccess
## adjust memory limit
# php_value memory_limit 6400M # php_value memory_limit 12800M # php_value max_execution_time 1800000
anyone see a reason why I shouldn't do this?

opportunity to serve kids very rewarding==
Some district teachers/administrators place blame on subs when teachers leave inadequate lesson plans etc==this can become petty and punitive.=subs not given opportunity to defend action taken against them--action carried over year to year which is unfair.
Increase hourly pay year to year to encourage quality subs to stay. Differentiate between trained
teachers with experience and those with none. Kids sure know and feel the difference!

ProsYou have a job, amazing vision for education, great speaker and should be in politics the way issues are skirted
ConsMicromanaging officials that castrate you for making your own decisions. Meanwhile they also castrate you for listening to them on key initiatives that may result in failures in other areas. (Even if you warned them or were trying to be proactive).
The company is run by a husband and wife so basically it's run by the wife whom is in way over her head. It's a shame that their vision will never be fully realized do to the fact that they can't act through with what they say.
98% of employees haven't been given raises in over 4 years meanwhile management is promoted and given raises. They are dumping all of their funds into "getting more schools" and "growth" however no funds or resources into researching what is needed to support this growth.
The way they've handled their last set of take over schools pretty much solidifies the fact that CSUSA will be banned from at least 3 states moving forward. In addition to that they do not seem very on track with race to the top and meeting these initiatives on time in 2014 seems unlikely.Advice to ManagementAdviceFire the people who play the game but don't work, pay your employees, follow through on your promisses

Allama Muhammad Iqbal
A Cow and A Goat
There was a verdant pasture somewhere
Whose land was the very picture of beauty
How can the beauty of that elegance be described
Brooks of sparkling water were running on every side
Many were the pomegranate trees
And so were the shady peepul trees
Cool breeze flowed everywhere
Birds were singing everywhere
A goat arrived at a brook's bank from somewhere
It came browsing from somewhere in the nearby land
As she stopped and looked around
She noticed a cow standing by
The goat first presented her compliments to the cow
Then respectfully started this conversation
'How are you! Madam Cow'?
The cow replied, 'Not too well
'My life is a mere existence
My life is a complete agony
My life is in danger, what can I say?
My luck is bad, what can I say?
I am surprised at the state of affairs
I am cursing the evil people
The poor ones like us are powerless
Misfortunes surround the ones like us
None should nicely deal with Man
May God protect us from Man!
He murmurs if my milk declines
He sells me if my weight declines
He subdues us with cleverness!
Alluring, he always subjugates us!
I nurse his children with milk
I give them new life with milk
My goodness is repaid with evil
My prayer to God is for mercy! '
Having heard the cow's story like this
The goat replied, 'This complaint is unjust
Though truth is always bitter
I shall speak what is fair
This pasture, and this cool breeze
This green grass and this shade
Such comforts, were beyond our lot!
They were a far cry for us speechless poor!
We owe these pleasures to Man
We owe all our happiness to Man
We derive all our prosperity from him
What is better for us, freedom or bondage to him?
Hundreds of dangers lurk in the wilderness
May God protect us from the wilderness!
We are heavily indebted to him
Unjust is our complaint against him
If you appreciate the life's comforts
You would never complain against Man'
Hearing all this the cow felt embarrassed
She was sorry for complaining against Man
She mused over the good and the bad
And thoughtfully she said this
'Small though is the body of the goat
Convincing is the advice of the goat! '
