Bobcats (the four-legged kind) in Birmingham?
Yesterday I was visiting a gardening friend of mine & she told me that one evening last week around dusk she happened to look out her kitchen window & was startled to see a bobcat leisurely strolling by her carport less that 20 feet from her house. She watched it for about a minute before something startled it & it bounded across the street & into the woods. Unfortunately she had loaned her video camera to her daughter, so she was unable to capture any pics or video. Linda lives about 1/4 mile from I-459 out here in the Trussville area.
Has anyone else seen one or heard of any sightings this close to the city?
How cool! I'm sure that bobcats are finding ways to adapt to human encroachment, and are becoming more comfortable in urban settings. Sometimes, it's hard to believe what we've seen with our own eyes, isn't it?
Call a local Fish and Wildlife office...keep trying until you find someone who acts interested. They should have plenty of good information about the whereabouts of bobcats in the area.
Some years ago, while living in coastal SC, I was the only one of four people on a boat to see what I was positive was a seal of somekind. (Unheard of in our location.) The darned thing surfaced about four feet away from the boat, looked right into my eyes...blinked coyly...and then disappeared again. Naturally, the others thought I was absolutely nuts (and cut me off from the beverage supply)! First thing on Monday morning, I called the Wildlife folks and was given complete verification of the Harbor Seal that I had seen. Apparently they weren't all that unheard of to them. They had names for some of them.
I'm not surprised your friend saw a bobcat. I live in the Shelby County portion of Hoover in a subdivision thats been here over 20 years and we've had red foxes, racoons, rabbits, and such. No bobcats yet, though. One thing that still surprises me are the number of roadkill deers on I459 and on Valleydale Road.
I'm not near a city and just outside a small town in a subdivision which is bordered on the back by woods & creeks. Last year, as you all recall, we had a very, very hot,dry summer. My next door neighbor called to tell me to watch my pets (we have small dogs). They were sitting outside in the middle of the afternoon and a bobcat ignored them and jumped into their pond and took a duck. I guess they get bolder when the food supply is low or maybe they just go for the easy pickings. We have been told over & over by locals that there are no bobcats in this area but when we are driving we have seen one ever now and then crossing the road.
I've worked on Oak Mtn for almost 25 years. The company property borders the Hwy 280 end of Oak Mtn Park. We've had bobcats, turkeys, coons, geese, deer, coyotes, foxes, you name it. Over the years the ssitings of these animals has decreased as housing encroaches around us. I came out of the building backdoor one night and a bobcat jumped out of the dumpster, screamed and scared the heck out of me.
We do not have any bobcats, but if you would like to see tigers, lions, cougars, wolves, leopards, and lots more check out Tigers for Tomorrow in Attalla, AL. It is a last stop rescue and sanctuary and is open to the public. BEAUTIFUL.
I volunteer there and it is fantastic!

About 15 years ago when my wife and I first arrived in Birmingham we went for a hike in Tanehill State Park right outside of Birmingham. I spotted the fresh paw print in a creek bed of what seemed to be a large cat. I'm 100% sure it must have been a bobcat. So, they've been around but I've never seen one, unfortunately. We do have red foxes, coyotes, racoons, and possums in Redmont Park, smack in the middle of Birmingham.
I live in Smoke Rise in Western Blount County, and there apparently was a MOUNTAIN LION in our area last Summer. The tracks were found and several people heard the screams. It also killed a den of fox pups and also one or more goats. It was front page news in the Blount County newspaper. LOL! Apparently there are no self-sustaining populations of mountain lions in Alabama (according to the Wildlife folks), but there have been other reports over the years. Maybe escaped exotic pets???
I imagine that the Mountain Lion reported could indeed be a cougar; just because a sighting has not been substantiated in years does not mean they are not out there. Please see the link.
On the other hand, there is not a whole lot of regulation in Alabama regarding wild/exotic pets, so it could be an escape. Anyone remember the reports of a tiger sighted in Cullman Co.? And then, nothing. No report of it being caught.
The rescue I work with ends up with tigers, lions, etc in part because people think they want a big cat as a pet, not realizing the danger and the responsibilities involved. Another reason we wind up with them is because they are bred for "canned hunts," where someone pays to "hunt" the animal, usually in an enclosed pen. Then they can have their trophy kill and brag. That is NOT hunting!!!!!

dear queenamy,i will bet the the tiger in cullman co. was someone's pet.remember ,it had a red collar around its neck? they probably scooped it back up and took it home.do you remember the man a few years back who had all his poisonous snakes confiscated and one got loose? they never mentioned that snake again either. i myself saw a bobcat and her litter a few years back coming out of a fire lane in leeds near the highway.cool!
The reason we are seeing more wildlife is because of all these subdivisions and shopping centers being built....We are encroaching on and destroying THEIR territory and they have nowhere else to go! Transient wildlife is what they are!
I grew up in the Chelsea area of Shelby county. In the last couple of years 2 large game reserves have been sold to companies who are raping the land like no tomorrow. Those game reserves no longer exist. In their stead are cheaply built $300,000 houses and more stores for people to shop at. (Like there aren't enough places to choose from!)
Those animals were always there...Bobcats. They just had plenty of places to hide before...now they don't.
I live in Wilsonville, and yes, we have bobcats. I have seen them a couple of times since I moved to Wilsonville three years ago. And at last count, I had 14 deer in the front yard. Need to take up crossbow for them flower and tree eating critters.
We also have foxes and such. The one thing that I have noticed is that I haven't seen any coyotes. I don't know if the bobcats subdue them or what? In Brierfield where I moved from, we had coyotes all over the place and no bobcats.
Bobcats are prettier.
I have seen plenty of bobcats, coyotes, raccoons in urban or surrounding areas particularly as residential growth branches out into their habitat and they are forced to make adjustments. I did see a cougar (mountain lion) back in the 1970s in Macon County although Dept. of Conservation folks say I am mistaken. I was sitting upon a bluff when I saw something approaching through the woods. At first I thought it was a bobcat, but as it got closer I realized it was much bigger and I thought then that perhaps it was someone's golden laboradour because I make out its tail. When it stopped within 10 feet of me but slightly concealed behind something like a huckleberry bush I could tell it was a cougar (yellow and not black like the Florida cougar). It startled me so much I almost jumped off the bluff, but it ran in the opposite direction about the time I moved. Honest to goodness.
Why are the Wildlife people so insistent that there are no mountain lions/cougars in this part of the country? It's like some kind of government disinformation campaign. Nope, no cougars here. Nope. Nothing to see. Move along. The Martians have NOT landed.
bamadave.....my dad has seen a large 'cougar' type cat twice on his farm. Once from close range. (He lives down a dirt road) He swears it is a cougar. Tracks have also been found numerous times.
He is not the only one....A couple of people who live down the road have seen this cat as well. These are reputable people who are VERY accustomed to seeing wild life. There is no way they would confuse this with a bobcat or anything else. So, yeah, I believe there is definately some kind of BIG cat roaming around these parts.
OK, I'm admitting I am getting old. I read the subject and thought "what other types of bobcats are there?" and then I thought of singer/band leader Bob Crosby and the Bobcats band. For those too young, Bob was the brother of Bing Crosby. For a number of years in the 1950s, Bob had a TV show with recipes, entertainers, etc. He had a singing group call the Modernaires as featured and backup singers. Gosh, I'm old!
gee Terry, I've learned something tonite. I'm no spring chicken (soon to be 54), but I sure didn't know that Bing had a brother, Bob. And he had a tv show with.....recipes? Wow, that must have garnered American Idol type ratings!! lol
ok seriously now, when I started this thread I added the four legged kind just in case someone might skip reading thinking it was just some boring post asking where is the best place to buy or rent a "skid-steer" bobcat in the Birmingham area. Guess I should have specified "the furry kind" instead of number of legs, maybe?
I live in North Shelby County and during our build (undeveloped area) we saw numerous tracks. I looked up the various kinds of prints online. I was sure we'd seen cougar tracks and sure enough, two other people in my area saw the cougars. Neither knew they other had seen a cougar when they told a mutual friend.
My brickmason has lived on Hwy 41 (between Mt Laurel and 280) for almost 40 yrs. He said there used to be a bear nearby.
One day, a raccoon with distemper came in my yard during the daytime hours. Could not get it to leave. It was sickly looking and my dogs were out in their pen. I called DD2 to come help me get the dogs inside. She heard me say I was going to shoot it and called the sheriff...then I was afraid to shoot it. When the sheriff arrived, she said she's lived on Hwy 43 all of her life and we do indeed have cougars in the area. She confirmed the bear sightings too but said it had been awhile since anyone had seen one.
tsmith2579, my sister has worked for EBSCO since 1976. I'm guessing that's where you work too. Her section just moved to Mt Laurel.
There is no doubt about it...large cats live in Alabama. My grandfather reported seeing a large black cat on his farm in Barbour county years ago. Now, I live in Shelby county, About two months ago, I was taking my small dog outside when I noticed a black creature sitting there eying my dog. I thought maybe it was a black lab. I didn't want trouble so I took my dog in and walked back over there. It was still sitting there, but it began walking off very slowly as I approached. I was able to get within 20 yards (close enough to make out its cat-like features) It freaked me out. This morning, I was asleep when my girlfriend came in all freaked out and told me she saw the same thing, in the same general area. She says she saw a very lean, black catlike creature on a slow but steady stride back into the woods behind our place. It may have been a jaguarundi or a black panther. My justification for those of you who may think that we are crazy is this: If they lived around here at one time, who is to say that there aren't still a few around (especially with the deer population having risen significantly). Also those those cats can travel hundreds of miles. It just wouldn't make sense to rule out the existence of the creature in alabama. THEY ARE HERE! (So are black bears)
Bibb County here. About a month ago, in the evening, my neighbors were clearing down their side of the hill down to the valley floor. The hill slopes sharply back up towards my house. My husband came and told me to look at the big black cat in the crotch of the tree on the other side of the valley. It was huge, and was on my side of the very large tree, so it could not be seen from their side. I don't have a camera yet, so no pics, of course. We saw it several more times, in the same tree, but as the hillside was cleared, it disappeared. We are only a few miles from the Cahaba River Park, so I figure it may have moved back that way.
When I was a kid we lived in the woods near Vance in Tuscaloosa Co. We were on a dead end dirt road across from a lake- very wooded area with just a few neighbors. One night we came home late and as we were getting out of the car we heard what sounded somewhat like a woman screaming. I can remember every hair on my body standing on end at that sound. My dad shuffled us all in the house and started calling the neighbors. None of them were screaming, but a few had heard the noise. They all speculated it must have been some kind of big cat in the area since they had seen tracks in the area.
My uncle had a stuffed bobcat that he had shot and had mounted at his house. That thing always scared the crap out of me as a kid. He had it mounted with one paw out swiping the air and it's teeth bared. I hated going to his house because I was scared of sitting in his living room next to that thing. Gives me the willies to think about it. :o) Of course he also thought it was fun to wring a chickens neck and let it run around the yard headless just to freak us kids out, too.
I've seen a wild Bobcat a couple of times before. Also several years ago a local man in the area reported seeing a "black cougar" clawing a tree. Scientists and foresters always have said there is no "black cougar" here in the U.S., most people mistaken a large house cat at a distance for one (But there are hundreds if not thousands of reports of "black cougars" in the U.S.) "Black cougar" sightings are still a mystery in the wild, it's part of cryptozoology such as the Loch Ness Monster.
There is definitely true rare sightings of lone Mountain Lions (Puma concolor) in the eastern U.S. (also known as by some: cougar, puma, or panther) Although their past range was also in the eastern U.S. (before 1900), there native range now days is in the Western U.S. after being pushed out by people, except for the occasional rare sightings in the eastern U.S.
Some mainstream scientists believe that small relict populations may exist (around 50 individuals), especially in the Appalachian Mountains and eastern Canada.
A near neighbor saw a large Mountain Lion near him couple of years ago in the wild forest (he would definitely know the difference between a bobcat that has spots/stripes and is small compared to a large Mountain lion. In our woods I took a picture what I believe was a Mountain lion track last year in some sand by a spring. I measured the track with a ruler and the track was 4 inches wide. I also saw a curved claw mark by the track in the sand (likely from the down step it had to take to cross the stream).
The Mountain Lion in North America is Critically Endangered. But in most of the other ranges like South America etc. they are not.
I live at the foot of Chandler Mtn. in St. Clair County. My husband has been hearing something yelling out(like a woman screaming)in the middle of the night at the same time 4 nights in a row. It hollars and then a few minutes later hollars again. The horses go to running, neighbor's dogs go to barking, (my dogs come running and hide on the porch), chickens go to cackling and my husband checks on our goats and they are all laying in a big huddle (which is not like them).
My husband and I were driving through the cove rd. about 6 yrs ago at night (which goes along the ft of the mtn) and the headlights caught the long tail of something big cross the road in front of us and go up into the underbrush. (gives me chills thinking about it)My father-in-law has heard it screaming out for several years off and on. Another neighbor has gotten word back to us that they have also heard it scream out in the middle of the night a month or so ago.
We decided to get online to see if we could find out anything about this creature or any record of one close to our location into which I found this site. Could this be a Mtn lion in the area?
Maybe a red fox?

My friend is telling me it's hardly possible, but I am sure I saw a cougar last night (Nov. 20, '08) near my home in Adamsville. We are pretty close to the woods, so I know this isn't "subdivision," but it's still rare.
I'll be the first to admit that it was dark and I was in my truck, but this cat was way too big to be a bobcat, and had a long, low tail.
Am I seeing things? Can/should I report the sighting? To whom?
Thanks ...
I want to thank queenamy for confirming that I am NOT crazy. a few years ago I was on a hike in St. Clair Co. at the old Camp Seton site and saw definite evidence of a cat that was MUCH larger than a bobcat. When I called wildlife officials I was told that there were no wild cats in AL larger than a Bobcat and they refused to send someone to investigate. The website you linked to said there was no confirmation by wildlife officials in decades, well no, you are not going to have confirmation if they refuse to investigate. Anyway, some time later this same, or another large cat was chasing a deer right into my back yard (I only live a couple miles from where we saw evidence earlier). I had personal confirmation. I also saw and heard evidence of a panther in Clay Co. near Goldville back in the 80's. I wonder, if there is no sustaining population in AL (from the website), how did they get there? They can't all be released "pets".
my buddy and i were driving on hwy 21 in northern coosa county and saw a cougar cross the road in front of us. (it was between hanover and stewartville) it was midday and the large cat was as tall as the guard rail. it ducked underneath the guardrail and disappered into the woods. i had a camera, but the cat was long gone by the time we stopped the truck. what an experience!
About 2 years ago, on our way to Lake Mitchell one evening (Chilton County, AL) , there was NO mistaking what we saw in our headlights!! We were turning on to Cty. Rd. 264 when the most beautiful black panther/cougar crossed the road in front of us. It covered over half the road and must have been 7-8 feet from nose to the end of it's stretched out tail. I didn't think to call any wildlife official as it isn't unusual for us to see all kinds of wild animals down there, including bobcats. In fact, where we live in So. Jefferson Cty., it used to be no surprise to see bobcats (sitting in trees outside a window and sounding like a baby crying), armadillos, etc. This, however, was in the 1960's. I haven't seen any more bobcats here, thanks to all the commercial building that has gone on over the years, but the armadillos, foxes, coyotes, etc. are still around. With so many sightings, I think these so-called "officials" might want to take another look.
Where the heck do humans expect wildlife to live? In the "wild"? Well, there is very little "wild" left.
We're building 3- or 4-story "monuments" on mountaintops in which to live, building subdivisions around every inch of available water, and there is very little room left for anything that walks on four legs, except the deathbed we know as paved roads.
That is why I hesitate to believe in a "god". Why would a "supreme being" create something as destructive as "man"? Answers?
Sorry...I'm in one of my "moods".
yes, like bamatufa suggested, call them at Oak Mountain. They may only take in wild birds now, but they will surely hook you up with the proper folks who can take the little bobcat.

I saw a bobcat one day out trail riding on my horse on some paper co. land near Wolf Creek Rd. in St. Clair Co. That's probably the coolest thing I've seen out riding.
The people I boarded my horse with there said they had seen big cats (black panthers or whatever). I think there probably are big cats around. The guy I bought my car from in Thorsby delivered papers as a side job and also swore he saw one in someone's yard one morning on his route.
I did have to laugh one day at a guy I had over working on something at my house one day. I noticed his eyes all bugged out and said, "what's wrong?" He said, "what the h#ll is that?!?" He was looking down the hall at my Maine Coon - black, huge cat (30 lbs and not fat). He swore he had to have panther in him! LOL!
I have twice seen and several times heard bobcats at our hunting club in Lee county near Rowells Crossroads. other hunters have also. About three years ago I believe I saw a young black cougar. It was as long as a bobcat but shorter legs and had a long fluffy tail. Could have been one of your Maine Coon cats maybe. Too big for a common housecat and pretty far from any houses.
Yesterday I saw a news report on the internet that a cougar had been road killed in Connecticut that DNA testing showed conclusively had been Caught, measured, blood drawn and released several years ago in N.Dekota, 1500 miles away. There had been no cougar sightings in Cn in 150 yr.
There had been unverified sightings reported first in Mn and then Oh which they speculated could have been this cougar. Neither of those states has a sustained cougar population.
Most. if not all, Al. sightings have been of black cats which means they are from the Florida strain of cougars. that's why they used to be called panthers.

My husband Bob and I were taking our sun set golf cart ride to enjoy and photograph the wild life in our neighborhood. We usually see Deer, Turkey, Fox and Raccoons lots of bird species and the usuall you would expect to see in a wooded neighborhood. After we saw a few deer it was starting to get dark and the mosquitos started to swarm so we heading back to the home front when we spotted something very large and muscular just along the wood line walking very boldley and confident. To our amusement excitment and fear we realized it wasn't like any thing we've seen before other than in the Zoo. I took as many pictures as I could and captured what we think is a Bob Cat! I looked it up and it appears to be a Bob Cat. I hope the pics post on here. It's my first time on this web sight. So glad I found It so I could share my story. We live in Trussville in Carrington. We saw the Bob Cat in the back of the neiborhood close to Blake Jack Road.
Off topic, but there was a bear in Opelika the other day. It made the news:
Cool! Nice pic.Carrington is surrounded by deep woods.All kinds of wildlife around your neighborhood.
Mikcru- we had a bear sighting in Trussville last year.It was not confirmed but they said it was possible. South Alabama has a population of bears over on the Mobile side of the state. Surprised me to see a bear crossing road sign while traveling north of Mobile a couple of years ago. A buddy at my work knew about them but I had no idea.

The amount of care riot is showing towards their player base is getting lower and lower it seems with each passing month. Yes we were given a double IP weekend woohoo since IP is a ----- to get, so me and my friends decided to LAN party it up and buy a 24 hour boost for the weekend and make it even more benefiting, well getting around 1am Sunday morning (Saturday night) the servers start acting up as I bet majority of you all know, shutting down queue's for about 45 minutes and then i got kicked and had to wait about an hour and a half to get back in. But this is the icing ontop of the cake, about 8-9 hours into my 24 hour IP boost i lost a game nbd, but i was informed my IP boost had expired! i look over at my buddy who looks at his IP boost who still has about 14 hours left on his boost, it makes me really question, and knowing that it said it had expired after a loss confirms that what i already knew that i had bought a 24hr boost and not a 10win boost.
So i had contacted riot through the support ticket system and waited for a reply , and I had received one today, explaining to me that they will not refund me or replace the IP boost that was lost / "damaged" (with server downtime / crashes) . My friend who did not lose his IP boost but did lose a couple hours of using it because of the unplayable server status also made a ticket and was given the same response , that they were not going to refund , or replace.
So is it just our prejudice thinking of "we got robbed" (how ever little it is) its still robbery. Riot , yes you're a company and need to make money to stay afloat and keep the servers running for the game we play, but please don't forget the players that have stuck with you for the long haul before the big tournaments and big publicity.
Edit : i saw some one who said "i shoulda voted refund rp becuase the time wouldn't be viable sometime if they did refund boost' i thought the exact same thing when i submitted the ticket actually and asked for a way to be able to enable it (it is possible just like they did via Recruit a Friend thing) so thats what i meant by refund the boost
Edit: Page 8 has very good Quotes from the "specialist" that i am talking with currently, especially the one where he claims i want to refund my boost because i regret the buy. Read the actual post for more info!
Edit: Page 10 has another quote from the email the "specialist" sent me , they are now willing to look at the situation again...
+1. Riot needs to hear us. I had the SAME exact issue. Filed a ticket as soon as we hit downtime and I haven't even gotten any response. Sadly, reading this I can imagine what it will be. And yea, absolutely how I feel, why would I ever buy RP again if Riot is just going to let me spend it on boosts which are wasted and not even have the courtesy to extend it or offer a refund? Hell I'm considering just disputing the charge on my credit card bill and returning the $20 of RP I bought during the sale because this left a terrible taste in my mouth.
They act like they're all poor and will go under by refunding stuff that should be refunded. It's not our fault. It's their fault. No matter what they think, they have the business, and we're the customer. Therefore, everything that happens will always be Riot's fault. They could stand to be more respectful in this regards.
can i take that back? i voted refund the boost but i realized when they did that it may not be at a 'optimal' time and it might be random..
so refunding rp makes more sense
I say refund the boost.
lol, they automatically refund bought time if their servers are down if they did not send int a support ticket and stop crying on the GD forums
refund SPARTA
Wayward Sword
I get them not refunding your friends loss of a couple hours, but its pretty strange that they woudln't refund you completely losing an IP boost halfway through. Just not a good policy.

Adding fractions word problems arise in many situations. I will not show you how to add fractions here
Adding fractions will show you how to add fractions and it has a fraction calculator to help you practice.
Example #1:
John walked 1/2 of a mile yesterday and 3/4 of a mile today. How many miles has John walked?
This word problem requires addition of fractions
Choosing a common denominator of 4, we get
1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4
So, John walked a total of 5/4 miles
Example #2:
Mary is preparing a final exam. She study 3/2 hours on Friday, 6/4 hours on Saturday, and 2/3 hours on Sunday. How many hours she studied over the weekend
This word problem requires addition of fractions
Choosing a common denominator of 12, we get:
3/2 + 5/4 + 2/3 = 18/12 + 15/12 + 8/12 = 41/12 = 3.42 hours
So, Mary studied a total of 3.42 hours
Example #3:
A recipe requires 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper. How much pepper does this recipe need?
Choosing 4 as a common denominator, we get:
1/4 + 3/4 + 1/2 = 4/4 + 3/4 + 2/4 = 9/4 = 2.25
So, the recipe needs 2.25 or 2 teaspoon and one-fourth of a teaspoon pepper.

Pipedrive REST client for NodeJS
Pipedrive client for NodeJS based apps
Pipedrive is a sales pipeline software that gets you organized. It's a powerful sales CRM with effortless sales pipeline management. See www.pipedrive.com for details.
This is the official Pipedrive API wrapper-client for NodeJS based apps, distributed by Pipedrive Inc freely under the MIT licence. It provides you with basic functionality for operating with objects such as Deals, Persons, Organizations, Products and much more, without having to worry about the underlying networking stack and actual HTTPS requests.
npm install pipedrive
With a pre-set API token:
var Pipedrive = require'pipedrive';var pipedrive = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE';
A simple "Hello world" that lists some deals
Here's a quick example that will list some deals from your Pipedrive account:
var Pipedrive = require'pipedrive';var pipedrive = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE'; pipedriveDealsgetAll{} if err throw err; for var i = 0; i < dealslength; i++ console.logdealsititle + ' (worth ' + dealsivalue + ' ' + dealsicurrency + ')'; ;

Authorization against email and password
Pipedrive.authenticate({ email: 'firstname.lastname@example.com', password: 'example' }, [fn callback]);
Fetches the possible API tokens for the given user against email and password, passing
error, data, additionalData to the callback function. You can use the API tokens returned by this method to instantiate the API client by issuing
var pipedrive = new Pipedrive.Client('API_TOKEN_HERE').
Supported operations for object collections
pipedrive.{Object}.add (data, [fn callback])

error, data to the callback where data contains the
id property of the newly created item.
pipedrive.{Object}.get (id, [fn callback])

Adding a product to a deal
To add a product to a deal, simply invoke the
addProduct method on a deal object.
pipedriveDealsget1 if err throw err; dealaddProduct product_id: 1 quantity: 5 discount: 20 if addErr throw addErr; console.log'Product 1 was added to deal 1' addData; ;
You can add multiple products with a single request, too.
To add multiple products with a single request, make the first argument of deal's
addProduct method (as shown above) an array, e.g.
[{ product_id: 1, quantity: 5, discount: 0 }, { product_id: 1, quantity: 2, discount: 20 }]. This will add two product rows to a deal — one with a quantity of 5 and with no discount, the latter will add a separate row for the same product but with a quantity of 2 and no discount.
Delete a product from a deal
pipedriveDealsgetdeal_id if err throw err; dealgetProducts if productsErr throw productsErr; attachedProductsforEach dealdeleteProduct id: attachedProductid if !removeErr console.log'Removed product ' + attachedProductproduct_id + ' from deal 1'; ; ; ;
Search for field value matches
There is an additional method to perform the
SearchResults/field search. This can be used for field-value searches.
The following example searches for deals that match the condition where
pipedriveSearchResultsfield term: "123" exact_match: true field_key: "org_id" field_type: "dealField" return_item_ids: true callback;
- term — the string you are searching for from field values
- exact_match (optional, default false) — whether the term you supply is the entire and exact match you are looking for (if set to false, partial results are also considered a match)
- field_key — name of the field you are searching from
- field_type — type of the field you are searching from (supported types: dealField, personField, organizationField, productField)
- return_item_ids (optional, default false) — if set to true, individual items that have the matching term in the given field are given; if set to false, the different distinct values that match your search term across all different values in the gievn field are given. Usually you would want this to be set to true. However, for searching across autocomplete_text type fields (such as lost_reason of dealFields), you might want to show different values that pre-exist already.
- start (optional, default 0) – results pagination start
- limit (optional, default 100) — results pagination limit
Retrieve all records for a given object type:
You can request all entries for an valid object using
getAll(object, callback)
pipedrivegetAll'Organizatons' // collection contains all Organizations ; pipedrivegetAll'Persons' // collection contains all Persons ;
Get 15 first deals using the first deals filter
var Pipedrive = require'pipedrive';var pipedrive = 'PUT_YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE'; pipedriveFiltersgetAll type: 'deals' if filtersListlength > 0 pipedriveDealsgetAll filter_id: filtersList0get'id' start: 0 limit: 15 dealsListforEach console.logdealget'title' + ' (worth ' + dealget'value' + ' ' + dealget'currency' + ')'; ; ;

Summer's Last Stand With Jamie Rae: Our Trip To Sandy Hook, NJ [11 Photos]
In First Ladies, Jamie Rae / / 0 comments
Labor Day may have come and gone for all your shore kids who already have the board shorts in mothballs, but technically summer isn't over for another few weeks and there is still plenty of beach time to be had before we need to buckle down for the winter. An easy beach option for anyone living in and around New York City is to hop on the SeaStreak. It's a 40 minute ride from downtown Manhattan, runs right to Sandy Hook, NJ and best of all, there is a full bar so you can sip a cocktail while zipping out of Manhattan and soaking in the view from the panoramic observation deck to your beach oasis. Service runs until September 28th and best of all it's only $25 bucks round trip. So why would you want to go to Sandy Hook, NJ? Only because it has 7 miles of pristine beaches, 300 migratory birds, A+ surfing, and dolphins galore, thats why! If that is not convincing enough then how about we hop on a ferry and head to the beach with a beautiful babe? Amiright? That is exactly what our photographer, the brilliant Bryan DeWitt who is behind our shoots more »

Alexandria Morgan Is The Next Great American Model [RSVLTS Exclusive]
In Alexandria Morgan, First Ladies / / 0 comments
Emerging model, Alexandria Morgan is coming into her own as the standout model of 2014. Bursting onto the scene a mere two months ago, Alexandria was the best kept secret in the modeling industry until all of the sudden the 20-year-old crashed the party and it was game over. After moving from Manhattan to Hoboken, NJ, the Illinois born bombshell's piercing blue eyes and striking looks stopped the internet in it's tracks. It all began soon after Alexandria posted this photo of her wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey and in what seemed like the snap of a Derrick Rose meniscus, she was the "it" girl for every major publisher online. Photos and Instagram shots of Morgan spread through the internet within hours. Sports Illustrated, Guyism, COED, Brobible and theCHIVE we're among the heavy hitters who published content on Alexandria. Yes, we did as well. Two times. (named her our Woman Crush Wednesday twice). With Memorial Day just around the corner and World Cup 2014 kick-off less than a month away, we thought it would only be fitting to invite our new Hoboken neighbor over the new RSVLTS Headquarters for a shoot set around the stars and bars. It's a perfect storm of America. Just our way of supporting for the U.S. Men's more »

When it comes to emerging superstar models, we think Melissa Bolona is near (or at) the top of the list. She won the 2013 Beach Bunny model search contest and recently had a shoot with 2011 SI Swimsuit cover model Irina Shayk and likely 2014 SI Swimsuit cover model Nina Agdal in Belize. Basically, when we think of Melissa, we think of a magazine cover model. Not only does she have the looks but she has a killer personality. Then it hit us like a sack of potatoes. We should publish a quarterly magazine version of RSVLTS that will be released to the masses of the digital realm and Melissa will be it's most prized possession.

Adidas Rockstars - Climbers look forward to new Rockstars boulder wall in Stuttgart
A Other video by quattro_media - 1,583 views
The quality of the routes is vital for a good competition. After all, adidas ROCKSTARS wants to demonstrate the skills of the international boulder elite. At the same time the route setters try to live up to the interests of spectators and the media. That asks for instinct feel. Boulders have to be set in a fair way with equal opportunities for all athletes. At the same time they should severely test the skills of the competitor: flexibility, strength, endurance, creativity, orientation. In an ideal case only one athlete masters the most difficult problem. But if the boulders are too tough, it could backfire. This is when many years of competition and route setting experience come into play - it also helps to deal with the pressure.

Entergy officers announce retirement
by MBJ Staff
Published: November 16,2009
Tags: Bud Storey, Entergy Corporation, John McGaha, Mike Kansler, retirement
Three Entergy Corporation officers have announced their retirement after distinguished careers spanning 30 to more than 40 years each.
Scheduled to retire later this month are Mike Kansler, president, CEO and chief nuclear officer of Entergy Nuclear; John McGaha, senior vice president of Entergy Operations; and Bud Storey, vice president and deputy general counsel.
Herron will assume Kansler's duties at Entergy and responsibility for Entergy's nuclear units located throughout New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas as well as the company's management of the Cooper Nuclear Station in Nebraska. Herron will also take over Kansler's role as CEO designate of EquaGen LLC, which will operate the six merchant nuclear units proposed to be spun off to Enexus Energy Corporation. Those units are located in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Michigan. EquaGen will also manage the Cooper Nuclear Station in Nebraska as part of the spin-off.
Herron currently serves as Entergy's senior vice president for nuclear operations. He previously served as chief operating officer of Entergy Nuclear Northeast overseeing the day-to-day operations of all Entergy's merchant nuclear units. Herron joined Entergy in Feb. 2001 as vice president, operations at Waterford 3 Nuclear Station in Killona, La. He then moved to New York as the senior vice president of Indian Point Energy Center in February 2002. Herron's replacement will be named at a later date.
McGaha will be retiring as executive vice president and COO of Entergy Nuclear South and president of Entergy Nuclear South. McGaha was named COO designate for Enexus Energy, Inc. in Dec. 2007 and he has led the Project Management Office directing activities related to the spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business since that time. He plans to continue in the COO role at Enexus after his retirement from Entergy once the company completes the spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business.
McGaha joined Entergy in 1978 and held numerous roles from general manager of plant operations at Waterford 3 to vice president of the River Bend nuclear unit, both located in Louisiana.
Bud Storey, senior vice president and deputy general counsel, will retire after 15 years at Entergy. He oversaw Entergy attorneys in the Commercial General group located in Beaumont, Jackson and Little Rock. During his time at Entergy, Storey has played a lead role in matters as central as the Entergy New Orleans bankruptcy after Hurricane Katrina and a broad swath of commercial litigation crucial to the company's overall operations and successes.

Bairou sporting a necklace refashioned by N. Sarla Devi. – Photos from N. Sarla Devi
IN 2011, thirtysomething artist N. Sarla Devi rescued her pet, then two months old, from a breeder in 2011. The Jack Russell Terrier was named Bairavan (Bairou, for short), after the Hindu deity Lord Bhairav. This breed is known for its hunting ability.
Sarla has put her creativity to good use by making or re-designing outfits and accessories for Bairou. Whenever he steps out of the house, he is guaranteed to look stylish.
Bairou is treated like part of the family, so sometimes Sarla brings him along whenever she attends birthday parties, relatives' Diwali open houses and dog events.
She makes it a point to celebrate his birthday each year by hosting a small-scale party for him at their home in Klang. He turned three just recently – on Feb 2, to be exact. His cake featured a piece of decoration resembling his image.
"When I travel abroad, I make sure I have a Skype call session with him often.
"He is hyperactive, energetic, intelligent and tenacious," describes Sarla, adding that Bairou is an excellent companion. "He does get cranky at times but nothing I can't handle."
As Bairou is her "furkid", sometimes Sarla treats him just like a child. "If he refuses to eat, at times, I feed him. When he falls asleep on the couch, I would carry him to his (cosy) bed and pat him until he snoozes again.
"When I come home from shopping, he expects me to pull out a toy or something out of the shopping bag. Whenever there are guests at home, he tends to show off, especially his toys."
Sarla is a true animal lover who feels strongly about pet rescue and adoption (as opposed to buying from a pet store). In 2012, she started an online campaign to spread awareness about animal welfare — focusing on pet adoption — to educate the community and to inspire action aimed at reducing animal abuse.
Although he is quite a dog star, Bairou had no problems adjusting to a new six-month-old puppy, named Tingku Kanna, which Sarla rescued from the streets last November.

A month ago, the market was talking about wet weather that would potentially slow the start of planting. Traders built a little delayed-planting premium into prices. Then, the weather changed dramatically, and so did the markets.
Grain prices have broken sharply lower the last few days, and the reason given is the effect of the Goldman Sachs fraud charges on the market.

- 686 taped the critical seams to help prevent moisture from sneaking in
- Articulated elbow design improves sleeve fit
- Underarm vents allow you to air out the funk and keep cool during spring conditions
- Powder skirt, gusseted cuffs, and hem cord adjustment keep snow from getting under your shell
- Internal pocket for your tunes ensures your rad-itude is always set to 'stoked'

Good start
This jacket does alright for the price. If you are just starting out and need something to keep the cold out, this may be the jacket for you. The breathability isn't bad, but there are much better jackets out there. The moisture definitely doesn't get in, but it doesn't get out either. Just make sure to keep the underarm vents open if you start to overheat. Again, it's a great starter jacket; just not the one for me.

prep sink in 18" cabinet
I am currently on the hunt for the largest prep sink I can fit in an 18" sink cabinet in my island.
I have found this one:
Franke RGX110
Minimum Cabinet Size: 18"
Interior Dimensions: 15-9/16" x 18-015/16" x 9-1/16"
Exterior Dimensions: 16-5/16" x 19-11/16" x 9-1/16"
I like that it is longer and quite deep.
Good choice?
Any experience with this one, or other Franke sinks?
Here is a link that might be useful: Franke prep sink
Given a choice I put in a Franke sink- love em. Especially like their strainer basket- I almost always use Chrome.
Most common prep sink I put in is the ARX 11014- a little smaller than what you are looking at. I have one myself and pleased with it. For a prep sink I prefer not as deep as the RGX - it's for straining, washing veggies, floating spinach, occasionally a fast brine...I don't want it to tempt people to place to put dishes except once or twice a year with full house. (I do end up with some bowls and such when baking and the missus is at the main sink but they don't linger.)
Any of the Frankes are fine though.
What about Silgranite.. Breezy has a nice silgranite prep sink.
Thanks, jakuvall! I actually thought deeper seemed better, but your post makes me question that..of course...Interesting point, though. It's hard for me to visualize how I'll be using it, since I haven't had one. I'll look into the one you mention.
Gwlolo, I don't think there is a silk granite small enough, but I do like those!
I heard my name! I have an 18' prep sink base with a Blanco silgranit Performa prep sink. It's not quite square from to back (grrrrrr), but the widest interior point is 15.5'. It's about 15' deep front to back in the interior and 9' deep. After under mounting in my 1.5' walnut counter, it's a tad deep. Workable, though. It's soooooo easy to take care of, too.
I'll link the specs below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blanco silgranit Performa bar sink
Go as big as you can in interior dimensions. The interior dimensions of my prep sink are 15-3/4" x 15-3/4" x 7-1/2"D (plus 1-1/8" granite depth = 8-5/8" total depth). I also have a grid that raises the floor of the sink an inch or so...that means that with the grid, my sink is a little over 7-1/2" deep.
While the 15-3/4" dimensions are usually OK, there are times when I wish it were bigger - but maybe that's b/c I have large hands (and very long fingers!) As to depth, I like that I can put a tall pot in the sink or a deep colander. I don't find it too deep at all.
The sink you've found is larger (at least front-to-back) and has a rear drain - both advantages, I think! Unless you can find one bigger, I would go with the Franke.
Buehl- the rgx is over 9" deep- arx depth is like yours
Added- I like to mount a single handle faucet off the corner of sink allows setting pot on counter, swinging faucet over to fill, less lifting.
This post was edited by jakuvall on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 7:05
Thanks, Buehl! I do think I'll like the shape of this prep sink. And I plan on using a grid in the bottom, too. I am on the short-side, at 5'2", so I'm not sure if the deeper sink will be better or worse?
But I think I'm over-thinking it, as with every other decision in this project :)
jakuvall, I like that idea--mount the faucet towards the corner! My sink is nearly in the middle of my island, so I'm wondering which way I should place the faucet? I've got a 24" speed oven, then 18" prep sink cab, then 18"trash p/o, then 24" drawer stack. The speed oven end is across from fridge, and the range is farther down the run, directly across from the island.
I have this layout pic saved, but the isalnd has been rearranged and shrunk to match what I described above.
On the range side of the sink
I agree that mounting the faucet in the corner will be more useful. We mounted our prep sink faucet in a corner as well and, in our case, it works especially well b/c:
(1) We have seating on the peninsula - so it puts the faucet farther away from someone sitting at the peninsula behind the sink (and so reduces the chances of splashing the seated person)
(2) Corner sinks are usually mounted further back - so it makes it easier to reach the faucet.
Grid...good idea to have a grid to raise the bottom of the sink. It's also nice to be able to drain pasta w/o the backwash of the water into the colander, provides a flat surface instead of a sloping surface for items in the sink, items in the sink (dishes or food) will not block the flow of water down the drain so it's easier to rinse the sink, etc.
About person height vs sink depth...this is one of the times that shorter is better! Deep sinks are actually more of an issue for tall people than short people. Tall people have to reach even further down to get to the bottom of the sink...so shorter is better!
thanks for the visual jakuvall! so helpful!
and thank you, buehl, for the extended explainations. I especially to hear "shorter is better," because that isn't something I hear everyday!!
I'll be sharing this discussion with my contractor on monday morning!

Manure source, Winchester area?
arbo_retum(z5 ,WinchstrMA)September 29, 2009
I have just read the Rocky Dale Gardens e newsletter and their very helpful few pages covering fall chores. Manure mulching is what I'm aiming to do before snow. We have had manure delivered (yrs ago) from weiss farms in stoneham and wilson farms in lexington. Any other place I should know about? Thanks much,
The Cotton-Arbo retum
