Is there such an app?
Posted via Android Central App
If you mean iMessage, then no, I don't think there is. I am not sure if there is any app that shows when the other person has read, or is replying to your text, etc.
That sucks. I really enjoyed how on iphone has bubbled text preview and let's you answer back. Unlike android, there's only a small pop up on top of notification and that's it. It doesn't show a text count either.
Does handscent have issues with lag or uses a lot of memory?
If you like Facebook messenger pops up try hover chat
Posted via Android Central App
BBM shows you delivery and read receipts. It's not sms though, it's just like a messenger. KIK also does read/delivery reports.
Until about 2 weeks ago I had a previous version of GoSMS, roughly 5 months old. When Go updated GoSMS, everything instantly sucked. Full screen ads, ad notifications all over the app, and just pure annoyances. So far nothing of the sorts with Handcent. Zero ads (or at least they're so small I overlook them), no lag, fluid experience. I'm actually in the process of switching all my android devices to Handcent.
Typo in my last comment... It's "Handcent", without the "s"
its coming.... be patient.
Google Hangouts is going to revolutionize communication.....
not a rep.... just really hope they revolutionize it!!!!! I have all the tools. Just need to implement it.
I love Hangouts as it is, but it could be so much better.
Handcent vs Chomp.
I'm debating on one of these. Which one doesn't have ads? Which one doesn't have problems with MMS and miss texts?
I prefer Chomp over Handcent which is very good, but a bit overcomplicated imo and i get a bit of lag with the main menus. GoSMS as mentioned is a bit of a mess now with the ads. To be honest the stock message app is good enough really.
Updates like that are why I usually, never update an app.... when new, they are great, then the money mongers come in and force us to read full page tripe.
Wish I had kept the .apk and could go back to the first one.
I've used ChompSMS for years and love it. I have it look sort of like iOS but changed the colors. Example below of me texting myself.
ChompSMS also has the quick reply window shown previously with Handcent.

Property is in very high demand and likely to sell quickly, even if it is overpriced or not in the best condition. Sellers receive multiple offers and the price is usually bid up above the seller's initial asking price.

The rumors are true: Ashley Benson and Ryan Good have ended their relationship of more than one year, the "Spring Breakers" actress confirms in the April issue of Seventeen. The two reportedly called it quits in late 2012, though neither star confirmed a split at the time.
PHOTOS: Get to know the girls of Pretty Little Liars
"I've always been in relationships," Benson tells the magazine. "And I knew I needed to learn to be comfortable alone."
PHOTOS: Heartbreaking Hollywood splits
Deciding to split with Justin Bieber's "swagger coach" wasn't easy, the "Pretty Little Liars" star admits. "Anytime you go through a breakup, it's rough," Benson explains. "Ryan and I are still close, but I'm too young to be in a serious relationship. Work is my boyfriend!"
PHOTOS: Style secrets from the set of Pretty Little Liars
Benson adds that she's open to falling in love again, but it's not her primary focus. "If it happens, it happens. I'm 23 -- I could have a boyfriend tomorrow. But relationships are scary, because once you're in one, you have to face the idea of breaking up or staying together forever," she tells Seventeen. (As it happens, her "Spring Breakers" co-star Selena Gomez split with Bieber -- seemingly for good -- earlier this year.) "It's scary."

33 year old woman | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 29-42 within 50 miles
There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake.
I love to learn and experience new things - and am looking for a partner who has an innate curiosity and joie de vivre. I'm a bit of a contradiction in terms, in that I'm definitely a nerd (full disclosure: sometimes a know-it-all), but I am also outgoing and love to meet new people. I love cooking and wine and European cities, but I also love playing sports, going snowboarding, and traveling to the beach or jungle. Equal parts introvert and extrovert - depending on the time and place. Mainly, I am really looking for that intangible connection - the hours of effortless conversation, witty banter, playful teasing all while knowing that this person has your back, no matter what.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Running, Skiing, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I love dogs, especially my own! Actually, I really love all types of animals and always have...sometimes I think I like most animals more than most humans. I saw this program recently about a couple who adopted a hippo...sign me up!
Museums, hiking in the Marin Headlands, dive bars, biergartens (must be willing to chat up randomers at communal tables, especially if they are 60 years old), Paris, Santa Barbara, Mammoth, San Francisco, New York City, Kauai, Barcelona

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ribera del Duero, cello, Franny & Zooey, The Big Lebowski, Summer Heights High, Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, A Confederacy of Dunces, The Naked & Famous, Curb Your Enthusiasm, bone-in ribeyes, cacio e pepe
I grew up paying soccer and currently play in a league - so I am rather competitive by nature! I also love watching college sports (football and basketball). I am very much into cooking, hiking with my dog, and traveling too.
Currently reading "10:04" by Ben Lerner. Appreciate it for its equal parts bluntness and subtlety. Actually, that also about sums up what I'm looking for in a man...

Background. The purpose of this article is to provide an interpretation of how restraint use is maintained and legitimized despite negative reports on its efficacy and questions about its ethicality. My research examined the use of restraint on a patient requiring care in an acute teaching hospital in Australia. This article examines one case study that was part of a PhD research project. The literature reveals evidence of the harm that restraints cause, as well as their ineffectiveness as a safety measure. In addition, it indicates that the prevalence of restraint use is high.
Methods. The study is framed by a Foucauldian approach to discourse analysis. This report is an in-depth case study including observations of the patient, interviews with members of the multidisciplinary team and analysis of medical, physiotherapy and nursing notation.
Findings. Discourses from the health care team are identified by which restraint use is justified, and legitimized by staff. An important discursive practice is 'constituting the patient's inability to self govern' and their resulting marginalization from the services provided by the team.
Limitations. There are certain philosophical limitations including classical arguments about the position of postmodernism and specifically the ideas of Michel Foucault as opposed to other philosophy's ability to make sense of a phenomenon. The study was carried out in Australia and thus the discursive practices may be dissimilar in other countries.
Conclusions. Through these discursive practices we can understand how staff maintain a monopoly over the truth and perpetuate claims about the inevitability of restraint use.

I had ANE2 firmware loaded previously and allowed update to ANG2, which has that limitation on writing to the sd card.
I backed up via Titanium root, and restored back to ANE2 rom.
I have then rooted again via towelroot, and have restored all my apps and data, all without tripping KNOX I'm happy to say.
my problem is that I no longer have the stock sms\mms app (com.android.mms)
the app was there initially but would force close every time I ran it, same for any SMS app I tried
I did get a message like 'cannot downgrade from database 69 to 68) in one of the apps, so I suspect the ANG2 updated the sms database, and now the apps cannot read the new version.
I tried to restore again from titanium, thereafter the app was gone completely!
I tried wiping the app cache and data when it was still visible, no luck.
anyone got any idea on how to get this back without doing a wipe (again!)
I suspect if I could find the database file in the file system I could play around with it, but no idea where it sits on the s5

| Jay chapter 19 . 1/3/2014
oh my God. What on earth have you done? I can't believe it. *sobbing*
darn you, really. Please tell me that John isn't dead. Ugh im crying so hard right now!
| Mystery Girl 911 chapter 19 . 12/10/2013
Too lazy to log in once again but oh my god… this chapter was just... beautiful. Have I told you how much I love your writing and this story? It's just so perfect and to be honest I don't think we could have gotten a better ending. Even though tragically John got shot and he and Paul never grew old together, this chapter was just as moving amd what a perfect bittersweet ending. Great work on this story. I LOVE it.
| Guest chapter 19 . 12/9/2013
Oh god for a moment I thought you were going to reverse the roles and have Paul shot instead. I don't know what to think! For this to have such a huge impact, wow, that's just good writing. They were just about to start over again oh god are you kidding and me. That hurt so much reading it, I can't imagine what it was like writing it. Good job though, you wrote the scene in the morgue well, as heartbreaking as it was. I truly wish this could've had an alternate ending, but hey, "Life's what happens when you're busy making other plans." It was probably good that you didn't turn it into a John lives AU, it might've gone on forever with much more plot twists and drama that could've overcomplicated this story. So, as much as I love happy endings, making it sad added a sense of reality and finality to it. I've followed this fic since you reposted it and I'm quite glad I stuck around. You should definitely write more JP fics, if not multi-chapter, then one shots or something, you do write extremely well. Congratulations on a story well done!
| look im a unicorn chapter 19 . 12/9/2013
no..no no no no NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO
That's all I have to say
| look im a unicorn chapter 18 . 11/14/2013
*tear rolls down cheek*
Wow. I'm really sad now but I still love your writing! Excited for the next chapter!
| Guest chapter 18 . 11/14/2013
Oh jeez, I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry. That was really...calm of them actually. I expected Paul to be way more resentful than that but he handled it pretty maturely. I was quite happy when I got the email saying you'd posted and then I remembered where the story had left off but nothing could have really prepared me for such an emotional scene. Good job though, you're writing is superb as always. I'm sad this story is ending soon but I'm glad to have followed it ever since you reposted it. Can't wait for that last chapter :)
| Mystery Girl 911 chapter 17 . 11/5/2013
Holy f*uck you are an AMAZING author! You've the characters nailed down perfectly. Very impressive. I love your writing so so so much it makes me laugh and it recently started to make me cry. But oh my lord I'm in love with this story and your flawless writing. Can't wait for your next update, seriously this is some great stuff!
| look im a unicorn chapter 17 . 10/19/2013
You are SUCH a wonderful writer. This is such a beautiful story. Looks like its not go an have a happy ending though :'(
| Good old fashioned lover girl chapter 16 . 8/11/2013
Your style of writing is great, really beautiful.
Aww, it isn't going to be a happy ending? I think I have a clue on what will happen four years later.
I'll be waiting for the next chapter!
| karusenshi chapter 16 . 8/11/2013
Ahh, I've gotten used to the inevitable break-ups once Yoko and Linda enter the scene but I so wish that for once, they stay together! Such a loving chapter, well worth the wait. I honestly don't mind that you disappeared for a bit. When it comes to great fics, I can wait as long as needed. I will prepare myself for the angst ahead, but it probably will still break my heart. Seriously, I should be used to it by now, by the amount of fics I've already read. I await the next chapter! :)
| Good old fashioned lover girl chapter 15 . 6/5/2013
Loved it as usual! Can't wait to read about their honeymoon :)
| mysticstargirl chapter 14 . 5/30/2013

Now that was the cutest thing I've ever seen! Great job, I love your writing!
| Good old fashioned lover girl chapter 14 . 4/30/2013
Aw, what an adorable chapter!
I loved these quotes:
" Every time I asked, he became evasive and tried to distract me with kisses or sex. And yes, it worked effectively."
"Oh! You mean the day I fell in love with the biggest idiot the world has ever known?"
"Nope," he said. "I did that first."
"Somehow, I'd managed to accept that some things were too good to share. Maybe this relationship was one of them."
I liked the idea of proposing when the first star appears. And John's proposal speech was lovely!
The flashback was lovely too (:

restoring color of Hot Cocoa
I planted a Hot Cocoa this spring that is doing well. However, the color of the blooms has gradually shifted to a rose red and I'd like to regain the dusky overtones it originally had. I'm pretty sure it's due to the chemistry of my soil -- can anyone tell me what to add to get the chocolate tones back?
I'm not sure what effects pH or any nutrient issues may have, but Seil is right. Cooler, damper temps encourage Hot Cocoa (and all the other 'brown roses') to provide the russet tones. Brown Velvet, even in brilliant sun, provided the chocolate velvet petals as long as it was cool to cold. Ramp up the heat and the color quickly shifted to bright orange. Leonidas does similarly as do Jocelyn, Edith Holden, Iris Web (more taupe than orange), Black Tea, Brown Study and Victoriana. As long as you're feeding it a properly balanced fertilizer and the rest of the plant appears normal, just wait until your temps cool off and you should see the desired coloring reappear. You COULD try cutting a flower just beginning to open with a short stem, then put the whole vase in an enclosed plastic bag in your refrigerator (frost free units dry out the flowers) and try opening it where it's cool to see how the pigments respond to temperature. It worked well with the others listed above. Kim

Damn Straight (Lillian Byrd Crime Story #2)by Elizabeth Sims
When a friend in crisis calls from California, Lillian jumps on a plane and wings her way from Detroit to Palm Springs--and danger. It's the long weekend of the Dinah Shore golf tournament, the wildest women's sporting event in the world, when thousands of lesbians descend on the desert community of Rancho Mirage and take over. At a pre-championship party, Lillian leaps into a slippery romance with a top LPGA star. But her superstar athlete has a secret: Someone is quietly terrorizing her. Lillian, eager to help, goes undercover as a high-profile reporter, an unhinged nun, and a professional caddie while uncovering layer after disturbing layer of the golfer's past. Finally, with violence erupting at every turn, Lillian uncovers her lover's ultimate horrifying secret--and it is not at all what she had guessed. With this new book, Elizabeth Sims presents another nail-biting thriller featuring her oh-so-human amateur detective. Damn Straight sizzles and zings and will have you laughing through your shivers.
Easy Street (Lillian Byrd Crime Story #4)by Elizabeth Sims
Praise for Lillian Byrd Crime Stories: "Lucky Stiff" "A flawless narrative . . . a nifty little puzzle solved by a most intriguing female detective. "-"Library Journal" "Damn Straight" Her old Caprice is convulsing through the last of its death throes, her pet rabbit and constant companion Todd ails, and as usual, Lillian Byrd is flat broke. For a few extra bucks she agrees to help an old friend renovate her house, but as fans of "Holy Hell", "Damn Straight", and "Lucky Stiff "have come to realize, nothing ever goes smoothly in the life of Lillian Byrd. By the end of the first day on the job there is a partially demolished wall, a mysterious stash of cash, and a dead body. And Lillian's attentions have been diverted by the appearance of a drop-dead gorgeous neighbor. Elizabeth Sims is the author of three previous books in the Lillian Byrd Crime Stories series: "Holy Hell", "Damn Straight", and "Lucky Stiff".
Holy Hell (Lillian Byrd Crime Story #1)by Elizabeth Sims
Lillian Byrd is a small-time reporter with a flair for making big-time mistakes--so her investigation into the disappearances of women around the Detroit area might not be the best idea. But when one of the victims turns up dead and Lillian recognizes the curiously mutilated corpse, she is in too deep to get out. After simultaneously blowing the case for the police and revealing herself to the killers, she is completely on her own. Can she catch the murderers before they catch up with her? Elizabeth Sims is a 10-year veteran of bookselling. She was a winner of the 1986 Writer's Digest short fiction contest. A longtime resident of the Detroit area, where Holy Hell is set, Sims now lives in Northern California.
Lucky Stiff (Lillian Byrd Crime Story #3)by Elizabeth Sims
There is what you believe, and then there is the truth. For Lillian Byrd, a chance encounter with an old friend means that everything she thought she knew about her shattered childhood is about to be revealed as a lie. One summer day when she was 12 years old, her best friend, Duane, left for summer camp. Later that night, flames ripped through the Polka Dot, a bar owned and run by Lillian's parents. Three bodies were found in the ashes: those of her mother, her father and Trix Hawley, a bartender and Lillian's frequent babysitter. Or so she has always thought. But Duane's story reveals something shocking. After summer camp, his father moved him to Florida, telling Duane that his mother had left, and for a short time Trix Hawley lived with them. Now Duane's father has disappeared as well. Who was the third body in the ashes of the Polka Dot? Was the fire an accident or arson? Where is Trix now? And where are Duane's mother and father? Lillian and Duane set out to find the truth about their parents, a truth that has been hidden well by members of both their families. The author of the best--selling mysteries Holy Hell and Damn Straight has crafted another nerve-tingling thriller rich with characterization, humor and humanity. Elizabeth Sims is the author of two previous Lillian Byrd crime stories, Holy Hell and Damn Straight. She lives in Port Angeles, Wash.
You've Got a Book in You: A Stress-free Guide to Writing the Book of Your Dreamsby Elizabeth Sims
Writing a book is fun and easy--yes, FUN AND EASY--but it may not always feel that way. How do you find the time to write? How do you keep momentum? How do you deal with the horror of showing anyone a single sentence of your work-in-progress? The answers remain fun and easy, and author Elizabeth Sims will take your hand, dispel your worries, and show you how it's done in this stress-free guide to accomplishing your dream of writing your book. In You've Got a Book in You, Elizabeth is that encouraging voice guiding you through the entire process, from finding the right time and place to gathering all of your creative tools to diving right in and getting it done--page by page, step by step. It's easier than you think, and it all starts right here, right now. "This guide is witty, warm, and wise--and wonderfully down-to-earth as well. Elizabeth Sims doesn't just tell you that you've got a book in you, she shows you how to pour it out using your own creative spirit, common sense, and persistence." ~Lori L. Lake, author of The Gun Series and The Public Eye Mystery Series "If you're searching for the spark of inspiration to get started writing a book, and the nourishment to sustain you to THE END, Elizabeth Sims's You've Got a Book in You will show you how to find it in yourself." ~Hallie Ephron, award-winning author of There Was an Old Woman "You won't find an easier-to-follow or more inspirational writing guide." ~L.J. Sellers, author of the bestselling Jackson mysteries "By focusing the high beams of her intelligence (and humor!) on the twisty trail of book-writing, in You've Got a Book in You, Elizabeth Sims proves herself a true writer's friend. As she guides you from the creation of a "working title" through her (brilliant!) "Making-It-Better Process," this well-established pro plays her most impressive cards--stacking the deck in favor of YOU!" ~Jamie Morris, Director, Woodstream Writers "Elizabeth Sims packs a twelve-week writing course into 280 pages. Inspirational and yet extremely hands-on, You've Got a Book In You will give newbies confidence to forge ahead and will remind veteran writers why they began writing in the first place--for the joy of it. I won't be surprised when the brilliant terms 'stormwriting' and 'heartbrain' become part of every writer's lexicon." ~Julie Compton, author of Tell No Lies and Keep No Secrets "The book is encouraging and inspiring, practical and witty. As a seasoned writer, I appreciate the reminders about the importance of putting yourself on a writing schedule. No more excuses. The many 'writing blasts' are very helpful and will get any writer out of the starting blocks. I especially enjoyed the section, 'Writing with the Masters.' What better way to get inspired, get a feel for different styles, and get jump-started on your writing? Excellent advice that I plan to incorporate in my future classes. I concur with Sims that 'writer's block' is greatly exaggerated. Is there any other profession that claims such a phenomenon? 'Excuse, me, but I have 'book-keeping block,' 'playing music block,' or 'painting block' today? I don't think so. Get yourself on a schedule, read some Sims, write with the masters, and you'll be on your way. You'll be glad you met this friend on your journey to becoming a successful writer." ~Gesa Kirsch, Ph.D., Professor of English, Director of Valente Center for the Arts and Sciences, Bentley University

Light Flight
A reader blog about flying ultralights with Robert Laird
ULers training for Sport Pilot
Bob Comperini, a long-time UL pilot, instructor and advocate, who has transitioned to the Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft (SP/LSA) categories as both a pilot and instructor, was recently asked if he was seeing poor aviation knowledge and/or skills and/or preparation from UL pilots taking their oral and practical tests for Sport Pilot (SP). Here is […] [Read More]
Live ATC feeds
I ran across this today… live Air Traffic Control (ATC) feeds — LiveATC.com. If you are a wanna-be pilot, a UL pilot without any experience with radio work, or just a regular pilot who doesn't get enough practice, it's fun and interesting to listen in to ATC. These are live feeds, too, so it's always […] [Read More]
Training in E-LSAs
The latest controversy in the UL pilot community on the on-going process of learning about the new FAA rules on SP/LSA is about using an E-LSA for training. Before the new rule, there was an exemption the FAA granted to allow 2-seat ultralight (UL) trainers. There was a giant loophole in that exemption that many […] [Read More]

It's a mere $1,753,150.00, or higher, if you have anyone else seriously interested. [Image from […] [Read More]
Sky high
Look at any weather chart, at the winds, and you'll see that most of the time the winds are calm near dawn and dusk each day. So, naturally, ultralights not having much mass and more susceptible to wind, they gravitate to those times of the day for their most enjoyable flights. As I was flying […] [Read More]
Islands in the air stream
It's probably late in the season to be doing this, but I've removed the doors on my plane. This is, of course, Houston, so it's still quite warm and I flew this afternoon with just shorts and t-shirt, and enjoyed the blast of air, streaming in the now-wide opening. My first ultralight was a Quicksilver, […] [Read More]
Holes in Sport Pilot
The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) — one of the major backers of the entire Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft (SP/LSA) initiative — has finally recognized one of the major holes in the rule, and is asking the FAA to fix it. There are single-seat ultralights (lovingly known as fat-ULs) whose owners may want to convert them […] [Read More]

The Scalaris key-value store is a big Erlang project with ~100 modules. I am implementing a new module within this project and am struck by how long it takes for dialyzer to do one complete check of the project. A run of
make dialyzer takes about 200s on my machine here, which is unbearable for frequent testing while implementing changes.
make dialyzer runs the following command to start dialyzer:
/usr/lib/erlang/bin/dialyzer -Dtid_not_builtin -Dwith_export_type_support \
-DNO_FILE_SENDFILE -Dhave_cthooks_support -Dhave_callback_support \
-Werror_handling -Wrace_conditions -Wunmatched_returns -I include/ \
-I contrib/yaws/include/ -I contrib/log4erl/include/ \
--src -c src src/*/ test/unittest_helper.erl test/tester*.erl \
test/mockup*.erl test/erl_id_trans.erl \
test/measure_util.erl test/scalaris_cth.erl \
I guess that I should be able to only include the files needed for my module in the parameter list for
--src, but that list is probably quite big and it comes down to including 90 files of the given 100. Is there a better way to speed up dialyzer with the assumption that only one module is going to change between the subsequent runs?

Mother of the groom to be needs help!!!!
Ok I have been reading all the posts related to who is invited to the rehearsal dinner and should invitations be sent. My question is this, I know Bridal party is Maid of Honor, bride and bridesmaids, groom, best man, groomsmen and ushers,. I'm sure the flower girl and ring bearer are included in the bridal party. I think I am right in all of this to assume everyone that is or should be at the rehearsal is invited to the rehearsal dinner with the parents and everyone's SO or parents of the little ones. My question is....what about the servers for the cake and food after the wedding? They don't need to be at the rehearsal but are they included in the dinner? Musicians, candle lighters and readers are invited too right? I need some input pretty quick. Thanks
I would say that only people who are participating in the actual ceremony would need to be included. Plus, as you note, SOs & parents of little ones. But cake & food servers - I'd leave them out.
It's also sometimes expected that out of town guests will be invited if they've already arrived in town by the time the rehearsal dinner is held.
I'd say, include all of the people who are involved in the wedding (including cake servers) if they are involved because they are close to the bride and groom. If they are involved because you got a good recommendation or they "come with the church" then leave them out.
I would think in terms of these people's relationship to the couple and families, not their role at the wedding. Think about who you want at that dinner (including how big you want/can afford for it to be), not about who will be doing what at the wedding. If one of two nieces is a bridesmaid and another is serving food, I'd invite them both. I'd be more inclined to include a sibling who isn't an attendant than a friend from work who is serving cake. In any case, I would include all immediate family (and SOs) and grandparents, too.
If someone's feelings are hurt, it won't matter that you followed some sort of iron-clad rule about who is to be invited to a rehearsal dinner -- even if there were one, which there isn't.
also, be sure the bride weighs in--she may feel it's not necessary to invite the cake server.
We have been invited to several informal rehearsal dinners because we were guests who came a long distance, and family. Mostly the rehearsal dinners are family, and those who were in the wedding party.
The rehearsal dinner doesn't have to be at an exclusive restaurant--if the number of people is large--it can be a picnic, a gathering at a home with catering, or even a pot luck. I've seen every variation.
Although this has been stated, it would be unusual for musicians to be invited to the rehearsal dinner. I've been a wedding dj for over 20 years & played at many ceremonies. I've never been invited to the rehearsal dinner. (Might be fun though)
Best of luck,
5 Star Events
at our rehersal dinner it was who DIDN'T come, lol...bride's parents are still feuding after 20+ years...anyway, went the casual pizza place near the chapel (inside a historical village)
for our older son, it was in the backyard, bbq, and we had nearly 50 people! (lot's of out if towners)

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 22 November 2012 Updated: 27/11 10:01
FAIRFIELD Villa moved joint top of the Midland Combination Division One table thanks to Saturday's 5-2 victory at local rivals Droitwich Spa.
A sensational first half performance from Paul Oakes' men saw them storm into a 5-0 lead before Spa pulled a couple back after the break.
The victory continues Villa's excellent run of form which has seen them win their last six games in all competitions to leave them in confident mood ahead of tomorrow's Worcestershire Junior Cup second round home clash against Division Two outfit Inkberrow.
Villa could have been forgiven for being slightly downhearted going into Saturday's match having lost influential duo Andy Nicol and Martin Slevin but they showed no signs of feeling sorry for themselves in a stunning first 45 minutes.
Scott Gaffney and Stuart Hall linked brilliantly together up front and it was the latter who fed Pete Jenvey to open the scoring.
Hall turned provider again for the second goal which captain Steve Frost converted with a fine left foot strike before Gaffney's fine chip made it 3-0.
Fairfield looked hungry for more goals and they went further clear when Hall fed Keiron Evans to convert before the striker got the goal his play deserved after Evans returned the favour.
Their was one downside for Villa when new goalkeeper James Burrows fell awkwardly and was forced out of the action early with a broken metatarsal, Frost replaced him between the sticks.
The second half saw Spa come more into the game and they pulled one back through Ben Brogan before seeing the first of two strong penalty shouts turned down.
Brogan grabbed a second as Spa continued to grow in stature but Villa had already done more than enough to pick up all three points as they went level with Hampton at the top.

I have been working at NRC (National Research Corporation) full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
These are highly specific to my personal experience:
- Flexible hours without micro management
- Good benefits
- Minimal travel requirements
- Trust and autonomy
- Understanding and approachable upper management
- A dedicated core staffCons
- Dominated by an under-qualified, opportunistic sales force with a leadership mentality bent on short-term gain (median age, approx 25 years)
- Product backed by an equally under-qualified and over-worked service staff (median age, approx 25 years)
- Board leadership with near-complete lack of understanding of (or interest in) a longer-term strategy to grow the company organically via the basic concepts of good managers (Board median age greater than 64 years)
- A repeated tendency for rapid, short-term growth-by-acquisition followed by long-term "disease" in in terms of associate and client retention.
- Extremely over-worked, under-experienced, and unaccountable middle management made up of "promotees" from scant offerings supplied by the remains of the non-management workforce.
- Extreme lack of institutional knowledge caused by continued turnover, loss of veteran associates, and failure to respect the power of training and documentation.
- Severe lack of communication at all levels and almost no accountability of upper management.
- Near-complete lack of upper-management follow through on the employee-engagement program ... zero budget allocated to employee-committee-proposed 2012 action items
- Lack of budget towards infrastructure in favor of largely unnecessary travel expenditures and grossly liberal board/executive payouts ... a very cheap date.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Feed this company a much larger chunk of the ROI. There is far too much budget restraint in light of the rather extreme profit gain. Reallocate 25% of budget from travel and sales incentives into technology and infrastructure. The return on such an investment would be a gigantic boom in market equity of the company over 5-7 years. In this market, National Research could rather quickly become a 300 million-dollar company and edge out Press Ganey as the dominating market force.
Hire new, veteran management (median age should be around 45 rather than the current 30-35 ... the current management are NOT natural managers) - hint: use a selection firm like Gallup, Talent Plus or Kenexa, as National Research is clearly lacking in terms of management-selection know-how.
Invest in your employees by training them and providing them with clear direction. Provide the materials and equipment that they need. Provide regular salary increases to dedicated employees with a proven track record.
STOP filling management vacancies from within. Hire externally and TAKE THEIR ADVICE.
Fund software development initiatives over the long term, and retain software developers by paying them competitively and providing them with state-of-the-art tools and training opportunities.
STOP expanding the breadth of the company by trying to opportunistically break into new markets. There are simply not enough organic resources available for this luxury. Rather, redouble efforts to solidify the management teams, client/associate support, infrastructure, documentation, and R&D of existing products.
Practice what you preach to your clients. Spend more time looking at improving National Research rather than the scant few of the primary shareholders' returns. Get (and maintain!) your own house in tip-top order instead of acquiring others and leeching them of their value for limited short-term gain.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

please recommend a starter set for up to about $150
My son is really starting to love to cook, and he is shopping for a set of cookware. I thought I would get him that for his upcoming (March) 22nd birthday. Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under $150, so obviously I'm not looking at the top of the line -- he can get that later -- but if you think it's a mistake to set the budget that low, let me know.
I have always liked both Revere Ware with the copper bottoms (but mine are old; I understand the new ones aren't as good) and Calphalon.
What do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Don't get a "set"...buy pieces that he needs and will use.
You don't say how old he is and where he lives.
I would start with a 6 inch non stick skillet for eggs and maybe a grilled cheese sandwich.
Then go for an inexpensive pair of clad lidded sauce pans...1 qu and 2 qu...I am figuring that you will have spent about $75 so far....and I would look for a deal in a small Dutch oven in enamel cast iron...hoping you can find that for about $75...if you shop well....and that leaves you with about nothing for a big stock pot or corn boiling soup pot...
Not going to make it for $150...I would buy him one 2 good pots and let the rest come another time.
Linda C
He is turning 22 and currently lives in Boston, but he will probably be elsewhere next year for graduate school (don't know where yet). He has a couple of pots and pans already, at least one ten inch skillet; I can't remember what else.
Also, he keeps kosher, so he will need double of most things. That's why I figured a set would be the most economical way to get him started for now. I know lindac is right that in the long run you do better with individually chosen pieces, but for now I thought a set of something decent would do, and he can fill in and replace with better pieces later on, using these things as back up or passing them on. The whole thing started with his e-mailing me for my opinion on an e-bay listing for a good price on a set of new Revereware; it made me think that I would get him cookware for his birthday.
Go with a set of tri-ply clad from Sam's Club. First check out Consumer Report magazine. Every piece your son will ever need may not be here, but he will be able to get by.
CR doesn't allow us to view their recommendations online, but you could glance at this site for some safety tips and a couple good quality, inexpensive choices.
Here is a link that might be useful: Consumer Reports cookware safety and quality
Lots of good advise above, especially Lindac!
My 2 cents, If you have a "Linens and things" near you they sell Chef Emeril cooking sets for reasonable prices especially if you have one of there 20% off coupons (big blue thing)! This set is very close to all clad quality and does a very decent job of providing quality cooking cookware ( I bought this set after a lot of research). A set is now about $200.00, with the 20 % coupon you're talking $160.00. There is nothing out there (Quality) that can be had for that amount even close to this amount (copper clad bottom by the way).
You'll still need a good Dutch Oven and a set of "No Stick) fry pans, 3 different sizes at SAM's for about $24.00 for set if I remember correctly.
For the dutch oven I would recommend a Lodge or Wagner brand 5 or 6qt with a "GLASS TOP" (trust me)! I am not sure what they cost now but I really believe they are better than the porcelain clad models (they chip), and once you have a regular cast iron Dutch seasoned correctly it will be something that will become his life time friend and will last forever with minimal care!
If there is any way I can help you more (short of recipes) please don't hesitate to ask. For the recipes, you would be better served by the forum experts.
Do you have a restaurant/institutional supply place by you? In California we have Smart & Final. They sell aluminum cookware for a song. I don't believe the Alzheimers/aluminum connection has been verified, AND, if you think about it, most restaurants COOK YOUR FOOD in aluminum, so I have no problems with the stuff.
Here is my absolute favorite 3 qt. pan for $14. I don't leave acidic (tomato) stuff sitting in it, thats the only 'care' I take. Also, I don't put it in the dishwasher. I was going to get a copper pan but the price/performance ratio didn't justify it.
I'd look at the Revere for 5 qt pots with steamer inserts for pasta and steaming. The bottoms seem to be too thin for me for other cooking. Plus they go in the dishwasher.
Here is a link that might be useful: 3 qt saute
Just saw the magazine with Consumer Report picks, daughter needs a set; best at top of list, descending order to bottom:
Kirkland Signature (Costco) # 783643 14 pieces $150
Analon Titanium 10 $300
Analon Advance 8 $200
Uncoated Kitchen Aid Gourmet Essentials
Brushed Stanles 10 $150
Calphalon Contemporory 8 $400
Emerilware Staninless 10 $200
Kitchen Aid KFP 710 food processor $80
We're going to check out the Sam's Club set also.
If anyone was around to read this they would die laughing but I can't help bieng an HSN fan. I have purchased cookware from them. Wolfgang Puck paid just over $100 for the main pieces plus utensils. They were both good pieces and not expensive. You have enough time to wait for a special or you could just buy the pieces separately. The command performance gets some good reviews too. They have a cooking presentation every sunday at noon or one eastern time. You can also read the reviews of the products from those who have purchased it which I highly recommend before you buy.
I also have purchased cookware from Brylane Home and it too turned out to be good cookware. They aren't expensive. Check out the website if you don't get the catalog.
Here is the set I got from Brylane Home a few years ago and is still in good shape.
Heres another link for a stainless steel set. I haven't tried it but it has the thick bottom like most you see. Each one is $99
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Brylane home
Does anyone know anything about Cuisinart's hard anodized line? Bloodbath and Beyond has a couple of sets that are in range (after the blue coupon).
I have a 1 1/2 qt Cuisinart Chef's Classic H/A nonstick saucepan that I use for things like oatmeal. I bought it to replace an old All-Clad and didn't want to spend a lot of money. It's okay for that, but I can't comment on how the skillets perform. It is definitely more lightweight than the premium stuff.
You might check out the reviews on Amazon.
I got my Mother a nice set of Wolfgang Puck stainless cookware from BJ's (warehouse store) for the Christmas before last.
It's a great set.
I was going to get one for myself, but Amazon had a killer sale on a slightly smaller set of Farberware Millennium stainless last summer.
I bought that and ended up throwing out almost all of my old cookware, especially the worn non-stick.
I replaced the nonstick with two small, CHEAP Ikea frying pans that I use only for eggs.
I took suzyq3's advice and checked the customer reviews of the Cuisinart set on Amazon. They were excellent, and there were several different sets available. So I think that will do.
I'll have to make a decision soon -- his birthday is March 17. (Begorrah!)
Thanks, all! I hope others were helped by this, too.
Hi gellchom,
Pots,pots galore.....
There has been a warehouse sale for Surgical Steel 18/10 cookware, 5 ply but it is here in British Columbia. Quality pieces of the Carl Weill brand at affordable prices but I guess the shipping would cost a bit as the weight is really heavy.... Unless you are just near the BC - US border. I see your price range is for 150.00 but this set Costs 199.00 / set of 12 would be a lifetime of use, lifetime quality. Look up for other choices at the website of www.carlweill.com. In case you like what you browse in the website, I will try to look up for the last newspaper ad (hope I haven't recycled the newspaper yet) they had for particulars of any upcoming sale and contact of their BC store.
Well I googled the Le Creuset Stainless Steel but the cheapest I could find was an 8 piece set for 335 on ebay. I think it looks beautiful (but its made in China too)
Well, when I went to Amazon to order the Cuisinart set, I read more ratings, and I decided against the set. People are happy with it but said the set isn't good with high heat. *I* wouldn't be happy with that!
So I went with the Costco set. Note that they charge a surcharge for nonmembers. But it was still a good buy, I think.
Thanks, sharing/caring.
You probably did good to pass on the Cuisinart. I have a set of cuisinart pans I bought used and cheap to tide me over becasue I am going to demo the kitchen in the spring. They are OK but certainly do not perform as well as all-clad ro demeyere (which I was previously using).
the poster who mentioned the cheap ikea non-stick is on point. non-stick pans only last the life of the coating I do not undestand paying premum for a fancy pan when it will last only a few years. The Ikea non-stick fryingpans work nicely and when the coating wears out you can toss them without feeling bad
Here is a follow-up for all of you:
My son received the cookware last night -- it came much earlier than I'd expected, and as the carton had the contents printed right on it, there was no point in his waiting until his birthday to open it.
He LOVES it! He was so excited, he not only called to thank us right away, he called again this morning to thank me AGAIN now that he's had a chance to unpack them and take a good look.
It's great to have a kid who cooks -- it makes it so easy to buy him gifts.
Thanks to all who helped me.

NASHVILLE, TN—The Hotel Data Conference, held here at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, evaluated some key reasons for success in 2014 and predicted whether that would hold true in 2015.
In the opening session, Adam Sacks, president, Tourism Economics, noted that the prevailing rule of thumb is that room demand and GDP tend to move in the same direction, but that hasn't been the case in 2014. "In 2014, GDP has been on a yo-yo with a contraction of 2% in the first quarter followed by an expansion of 4% in the second quarter," he said. "Meanwhile room demand pays no attention to any of it and increases 4%, above anyone's expectation." He added that relative to employment, room demand has been on even more of a boom.
"This particular service has experienced more growth since the beginning of 2014 than any other good or service at this level of aggregation in the United States," he continued, noting that this situation poses a question: "Has lodging set a new trend line from which we now need to do all of our forecasting, or is a reversion to historic trends and averages more likely?"
Sacks attributed the extraordinary growth to these factors: strong gains in personal wealth; continued stellar performance of corporate profits; growth in what have been laggard sectors; resurgence of group demand; residential power outages; and a rebound from the federal government shutdown. Sacks noted that these factors would likely be tempered in 2015, relative to 2014, so the industry will likely revert to trend. "We believe that even though GDP is going to accelerate next year, demand is going to grow not as fast as this year, bringing us back to historic averages," he said. "I don't want to be mistaken for the guy that thinks everything is coming to an end. I think things will continue to grow, but just not at the rate that they have been."
Vail Brown, VP, global business development and marketing, STR, noted that at the end of 2013, the industry hit five all-time highs out of the six key performance indicators. "We had more rooms to sell than we ever had before," she said. "Secondly, we were selling more rooms than we've ever sold before, and even better news, we were selling them at a higher rate than we had ever sold them before. That good news did not stop as we moved into 2014."
Brown noted some other potential highlights for the future. For instance, in 2013, the U.S. captured 3% of the 85 million outbound Chinese travelers. "With initiatives that were created in 2010 with Brand USA, which their mission is to do nothing but increase international travelers to the United States, the ability to grow this demand is real," she said.
During the opening session, Deloitte LLP's Guy Langford informed attendees of some results the company found from a survey it ran of approximately 3,000 guests who travel more than 26 nights a year. Langford noted that Millennials are not loyal early on, but once a loyalty is established, they will go out of their way to stay at their preferred brand. When traveling on business, they're willing to spend $41 more and travel an extra 15 minutes, and for leisure trips, they'll spend $35 more and travel an extra 12 minutes. "Once you get the customer, they're incredibly loyal," he said. The key, he noted, is to target them with incentives that will resonate. "You have to segment your customer base and understand they have different expectations," he said. "Millennials like swift gratification and customization."

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.
