Sprint CEO may make 'unfortunate misstep,' says FBR Capital
FBR Capital says its vendor checks indicate new Sprint CEO Marcello Claure has undertaken a strategic review of the company's competitive positioning. The firm believes Truco, the strategic advisory group brought in by Claure, is advocating a "premature network rip and replace program." FBR says this approach of converting Sprint's 1.9GHZ spectrum to uplink would be an "unfortunate misstep and a missed opportunity to embrace the technology shift underway." The firm sees risk of Sprint under-investing and weakening its franchise value further. It has a Market Perform rating on the name.

On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street opened lower but turned mixed early in the day and remained that way for most of the session. The Dow and S&P spent most of the day deep in negative territory, while the Nasdaq managed to stay just above the flat line. Investors had a chance to digest yesterday's comments from the Fed and may have re-considered whether it latest policy stance was as dovish as originally believed. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 1K to 291K in the week ended March 14, which nearly matched the consensus 293K forecast. The current account deficit widened to $113.5B in Q4 from a revised deficit of $98.9B in Q3. The leading indicators for February rose 0.2% to 121.4, which was in-line with expectations. The Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey ticked down to a 5.0 one-year low from 5.2 in February, missing expectations for it to have risen a 7.0 reading. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the close last night, replacing AT&T (T). Shares of Apple finished their first day in the blue chip index down 97c, or 0.76%, at $127.50, while AT&T fell 39c, or 1.16%, to $33.20... Coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX) rose $1.92, or 2%, to close at $97.76 after hitting a new all-time high of $99.20 earlier. The move follows the company's investor day meeting yesterday, where it unveiled plans for two pilots of delivery services, reported a partnership to expand the distribution of its ready-to-drink products in China, and announced that its board has declared the sixth two-for-one split of the company's stock since its IPO in 1992. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo were both unphased by the record highs and predicted the rally is not over for Starbucks in upbeat notes on the stock today. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD), which rose $3.11, or 33.26%, to $12.46 after reporting positive results in meetings with the EMA and FDA. Also higher was Wynn Resorts (WYNN), which gained $7.19, or 5.85%, to $130.11 after research firm Brean Capital last night initiated coverage of the stock and several casino peers with Buy ratings. Among the noteworthy losers was Transocean (RIG), which fell $1.09, or 7.15%, to $14.16 after saying that it intends to scrap four rigs and noting that with those it has announced plans to scrap a total of 16 floaters. Also lower after its earnings report was diversified apparel company Vince Holding (VNCE), which fell $3.50, or 16.36%, to $17.89. INDEXES: The Dow fell 117.16, or 0.65%, to 17,959.03, the Nasdaq gained 9.55, or 0.19%, to 4,992.38, and the S&P 500 declined 10.23, or 0.49%, to 2,089.27.
AT&T to pay $40M after missing appeal deadline, Bloomberg reports
AT&T is required to pay $40M in a patent infringement case because the company's lawyers failed to read a court document, reports Bloomberg. An appeals court ruled that AT&T missed the deadline to appeal a jury verdict for $27.5M, plus interest, won by Two-Way Media LLC. AT&T said its missed deadline was "excusable neglect" because of the incorrect docket entry, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said others were given the information needed and refused to extend the time period for the appeal.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were mixed at midday, with Nasdaq slightly higher and the Dow and S&P 500 both down a bit more than 0.5%. The day's economic reports were generally benign and are likely less significant to the trading action than participants having had some time to digest yesterday's Fed comments. Immediately after the Fed's policy statement yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell as low as 1.10 against the euro, but that move was almost entirely reversed overnight. The dollar was back near pre-Fed levels against the euro early this morning, and similar moves were seen in pairs of the dollar and other major currencies. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 1K to 291K in the week ended March 14, which nearly matched the consensus 293K forecast. The current account deficit widened to $113.5B in Q4 from a revised deficit of $98.9B in Q3. The leading indicators for February rose 0.2% to 121.4, which was in-line with expectations. The Philadelphia Fed business outlook survey ticked down to a 5.0 one-year low from 5.2 in February, missing expectations for it to have risen a 7.0 reading. In Europe, the Swiss National Bank left rates unchanged, cut its growth forecasts for the country's economy, said that it will intervene in currency markets as needed since it believes the Swiss Franc remains overvalued. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average today, replacing AT&T (T). Shares of the iPhone maker were down 0.5% near midday, while AT&T stock fell a bit more than 1%... Shares of coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX) hit a new all-time high of $98.50 earlier this afternoon following the company's investor day meeting yesterday. In conjunction with its meeting, Starbucks reaffirmed its goal to grow its market cap to $100B, unveiled plans for two pilots of delivery services, announced that its board has declared the sixth two-for-one split of the company's stock since its IPO in 1992 and said it has entered into an agreement for Tingyi to manufacture and expand the distribution of Starbucks ready-to-drink products throughout mainland China. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo both issued upbeat notes on the stock today, saying that the coffee retailer's shares can continue to climb. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Coronado Biosciences (CNDO), which gained 42% after announcing the formation of a new company, Mustang Therapeutics, focused on Chimeric Antigen Receptor, or CAR-T, technology. The company also announced a licensing agreement with NeuPharma for EGFR inhibitors. Also higher was Guess (GES), which gained 15% after reporting higher than expected profits for its fiscal fourth quarter. Among the noteworthy losers was Transocean (RIG), which fell 6% after having announced last night that four of its 5th generation UDW drillships will be cold stacked and the contract with ENI (E) for the Transocean Amirante was terminated. Transocean also said it intends to scrap four rigs, noting that with those it has announced plans to scrap a total of 16 floaters. Also lower following its earnings report was diversified apparel company Vince Holding (VNCE), which fell 16%. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was down 128.51, or 0.71%, to 17,947.68, the Nasdaq was up 3.15, or 0.06%, to 4,985.98, and the S&P 500 was down 13.36, or 0.64%, to 2,086.14.

T-Mobile announces 'Un-contract,' 'Carrier Freedom' initiatives
Today, during an event held to announce Un-carrier 9.0 − Un-carrier for Business − T-Mobile (TMUS) unveiled two new major Un-carrier initiatives for consumers. First, with T-Mobile's new "Un-contract," customers will now have more certainty in their wireless pricing than ever before. Consumers and businesses with the Simple Choice rate plan will find that rates won't go up as long as they're a T-Mobile customer and keep their plan − and even customers with unlimited 4G LTE will lock in their rates for a minimum of two years. The Un-carrier also launched "Carrier Freedom," a new move where T-Mobile will now cover all outstanding phone and tablet payments up to $650 per line when customers from AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) or Sprint (S) switch to T-Mobile.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower at midday, with the Dow falling about 1%. The market opened in negative territory and proceeded to gain additional downside momentum in early trading. Data on housing starts was not good, even accounting for bad weather in many areas of the country, and the prospect of interest rate increases on the horizon may have some fearing that the housing market recovery is in danger of stalling. Adding to the weakness in stocks may have been the further slide in crude oil prices, which pushed benchmark U.S. crude oil below $43 per barrel earlier in the session. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., housing starts plunged 17% to an 897K rate in February, widely undershooting expectations for starts to be down 2.4% to a 1.04M rate, but much of the slide was attributed to weather. Building permits rose 3% to a rate of 1.092M, which was better than the expected 0.5% growth to a 1.065M rate. In Europe, Germany's ZEW Center investor confidence index climbed to 54.8 from 53 last month, though that fell short of the 59.4 consensus forecast. In Asia, the Shanghai Composite index rose 1.6% to close at its highest level in over 6 years. COMPANY NEWS: Apple (AAPL) is preparing to launch an online TV service later this year, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. After the reports, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said he believes Apple's online TV service launch would lay the groundwork for an actual television launch sometime in 2016. Munster estimates that at an average selling price of $1,750, a television could add about 7% to Apple's 2017 revenue. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Black Diamond (BDE), which jumped 30% after the company reported was then expected quarterly results and guidance but also announced it has hired two banks to help it explore its strategic alternatives. Also higher was Esperion (ESPR), which rose 15% after the company's phase 2b study of ETC-1002, a product in development for patients with hypercholesterolemia on stable statin therapy, met its primary endpoints. Among the noteworthy losers was Himax (HIMX), which dropped 9% after BofA Merrill Lynch downgraded the stock two notches to Underperform from Buy. Also lower following its earnings report was magicJack (CALL), which fell 19%. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was down 152.00, or 0.85%, to 17,825.42, the Nasdaq was down 8.39, or 0.17%, to 4,921.12, and the S&P 500 was down 11.39, or 0.55%, to 2,069.80.

After finding and trying Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, I loved it, but wanted something even hoppier. And just a touch different. I also am a HUGE fan of the the SN Torpedo, which they have dubbed an "extra" ipa. I thought about hops to use and this and that and decided I wanted something a bit pinier than the Hop Stoopid, and a little more on the IBUS with a similar citrus profile as the Torpedo. I wanted a beer that I could really only want to drink one or two of, then move on to something a bit lighter. So I formulated something of a recipe that I call 2 Ed's (my brewery) "Malevolence Extra IIPA". I can only mash about 12 lbs of grain with the help of DeathBrewer's fantabulous tutorial, so it turned into a partial mash brew. I got everything I didn't have on hand ordered and waited patiently for my grains and hops to arrive. The recipe went something like this...
10# American 2 row
1# Victory Malt
3# Light DME late addition
1oz Warrior 60 min
2oz Warrior 30 min
2oz Warrior 20 min
2oz Warrior 10 min
1oz Citra at "flameout" (on an electric stove)
to be dryhopped with 1 oz of warrior and 1 oz of citra for 4-7 days after 1 week in secondary (i know... no one secondaries anymore... but i do) And another oz of citra dryhop on the third week in secondary for an additional 4-7 days.
AND of course, the coup de gras fermented with the busy little yeastie beasts so lovingly referred to as "Notty"... and that sunamabitch WHISTLED for a few days... there was no quiet burbling about it.
QBrew (yeah, I'm a cheap bastard, and it's free) puts it at 158 IBUs, target OG 1.083, and estimated FG at 1.021 for a total of 8.1% ABV
Sounded like it could be a winner to me. Not quite in any particular style guidelines, mind you... but I brew beer for me. And occasionally SWMBO. Enter brewday! I get all my stuff gathered and layed out and, E GADS MAN! I unwittingly used some of my DME stash in another brew... I THOUGHT i had at least 3 lbs of the stuff laying around, but it turned out I only had 1.7 lbs. I did, however have a couple lbs of Midwest gold LME from a previous steam beer batch leftover and water was heating and hop bags were opened and hops divvied... what can it hurt? so substitute 3 lbs of light DME for 1.7 lbs light DME and 2 lbs Midwest Gold LME. Mashed for 90 minutes due to some temperature issues, teabag sparge in 3.5 gallons of 170f water for 10 minutes, boil, cool, check gravity and pitch. Hit the number dead on After a week in primary I rack to secondary and take another reading. Holy attenuation Batman! My gravity was @ 1.010. That takes it up a percent in ABV from the estimate. Thats ok... So I drink the sample and realize something of a conundrum. Its not just good, its REALLY good and its something I could definitely drink WAY more than one or two of and perhaps find myself in a LOT of trouble after drinking more than a few... hoping the dry hop will rowdy it up a bit to take down the excessive consumption rate that is sure to follow. Will keep those interested posted on the progress.
Ok, not that anyone cares, obviously... But it's damn good. Not quite as hoppy as I had intended actually, but it is a definite hop bomb. Nice mellow alcohol warmth reminiscent of an old smooth bourbon. Gave it a lower carb than most brews... not sure on volumes, but I used 3 and a half ounces of priming sugar instead of the typical 5. Pretty good hop nose, pine up front followed by warm booze, moving on to malty backbone from the victory, finishing with light grapefruit and something I can't quite put my finger on... almost oaky somehow, though there was no oak added. I think its pretty damn good.
Sounds good! I may brew this later on after I get my pipeline back up and running!
I think I figured out what the mystery finish flavor is... I believe it to be apple peel. An ever so slight hint. Not real sure where that's coming from, perhaps the super fast fermentation of the notty. It may go away eventually, but I hope not. Its quite pleasant.
Sounds good. Just added 1 oz each of three different hops to the secondary of my Firestone Double Jack clone and things are going well. It will be interesting to compare this beer at about 120 IBU with my favorite IPA of using just 1 hop (Chinook) to about 110 IBU.
Good luck with your brew.
Last week I picked up a 4 pack of Boulevard's Doublewide IPA. Turns out I got the clone recipe down before I even tasted it. That or the folks at Boulevard are members here or troll for new recipes...
This looks right up my alley!!! i've been wanting to do a double ipa for awhile and came up with a recipe similar to this but I love the fact that your using Warrior hops the most!!! in mine i'm gonna use 1.5 oz warrior and 1.5 oz of magnum continuously hopped, then throw in about 2oz Amarillo for the last few mins of the boil, and then probably dry hop or make a hop tea with extra Amarillo.
Hope it turns out well for ya. I was hoping to brew something that I would only want to drink a couple of and then move on to something else. Turned out I liked it too much to do so, and it didn't last very long And I didn't share much of this one
I have a feeling the same will happen with me!! and the best part is that most of my friends can barely handle a pale ale, so i know they won't be getting much of this one!!
You say this turned out like Double Wide? I'm looking for a recipe with a flavor like the Double Wide. Love it! Look forward to more updates...

Grand Theft TOTUS: Obama's Prompter, Presidential Seal and Podium Stolen
**Written by Doug Powers
What's next? Finding Air Force One up on blocks?
From NBC12:
HENRICO, VA (WWBT) – NBC12 has uncovered one of those stories that makes you think: "How in the world does that happen?!" A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield.
We confirmed an investigation with the U.S. Defense Department. There are still a lot of questions. The biggest one being did the thieves intentionally target the President's truck or did they take advantage of a crime of opportunity and give a big "uh-oh" when they saw what was inside.
When you see President Obama speak, there is a pretty typical setup including the presidential seal on a podium, the see-thru Teleprompter and a portable sound system.
Thieves saw the truck carrying that equipment and couldn't resist the target.
We're told the truck was parked at the Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott in advance on Wednesday's presidential visit to Chesterfield.
Sources said inside that vehicle was about $200,000 worth of sound equipment, several podiums and presidential seals, behind which only the President himself can stand.
With the Democrat convention less than a year away, the White House is breathing a sigh of relief that the fake Greek columns weren't also on the truck.
According to the story, the truck was later recovered. At this time, nothing about the teleprompter thief or thieves is known, other than that police are on the lookout for anybody who can't stop saying "pass this jobs bill":
This isn't the first time TOTUS has been swiped.
It's possible the presidential seal wasn't stolen, but rather ran away. It has a history of trying to escape.
Update: This ransom note was just received. It's starting to smell like an "inside job" if you ask me:
Update II: Iowahawk has TOTUS's list of demands.

moldings in old house kitchen
laurielou177August 19, 2011
We've removed cheap 80's mouldings from our kitchen which is being remodeled to look more 1920's. House is 1918. Did kitchen moldings copy those of rest of house (around doors and windows) or were they often simpler in this room?
Door and window mouldings match thru out our 1830 house.
Door and window mouldings match thru out our 1830 house.
There are no ceiling mouldings in any of the rooms you would consider work rooms........kitchen, servant sleeping quarters, servant bath, servants stairwell or hallway.
laurielou, my 1929 english cottage has wide moldings in the public rooms, but no moldings at all in the kitchen.

Soft Scrub stained my Corian countertop - help?
nyc_pineDecember 12, 2009
Hi all -- I've done a lot of Googling and I cannot find any help so hopefully this forum can assist. Someone cleaning my kitchen left a bottle of Soft Scrub sitting on my Corian countertop and there is an outline of the bottle on the countertop that I cannot get off! Also, there are, what I assume also has to be Soft Scrub, fingerprint? marks on my counter too. Basically they look like bleach stains as they're lighter than the countertop. I thought Corian wasn't supposed to be stained! I typically clean my countertop with a mild spray and any food related stains I've been able to get off. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE! I'm so sad about this! Thanks so much in advance.

Big Bad Bills
Businesses cannot help but be bombarded by advertisements and sales calls for telecommunication service providers. Why then does almost every day bring yet another bloated file of cable, telephone, internet, and long distance among other bills from a potential client, confused over what they all mean. Our services include free bill analysis and boy oh boy are there ever surprises. Bogus charges, lines not in use, modems long ago deserted, obsolete services, etc.
Newer technology gives plenty of choices, which makes talking with your IT professional and your telephone systems vendor so very important before making a change or signing a contract. Not all services are available in all areas. Some services may not be compatible or work best with your network or phone system. And not all internet speeds are created equal. What is the consideration for business continuity?
Broadband, fiber, copper, wireless, premise, cloud, BBL, SIP, PRI. All terms that you need to understand to make an educated decision. You need to have a firm understanding of the systems deployed by your business. Ask yourself, who, what, where, how and why does your business communicate. Another layer of complexity is added if you have multiple locations.
One thing is certain, if you have not reviewed your telecommunications bills in a while, you need to. Pacific States Communications represents all major carriers and can make a recommendation based on your needs, which often results in monthly savings and improved services.

Donnet, Sylvain
I installed Postfixadmin 2.1.0 on a Linux server with a Postgres database. As I have had an old installed version, I wanted to use the 'database_prefix' capability, to have an other set of tables. It seems it works for any simple query ('SELECT * FROM domain' is transformed into 'SELECT * FROM pa_domain' when database_prefix is for instance 'pa_'), but it crashes on other queries. Is it complex to have workaround for that ? Is there a major bug on this feature ?
Greg C
I found that 'alias' instead of '$table_alias' was being used by admin/search.php and overview.php.
It looks like it should work OK everywhere else. functions.inc.php sets all the variables $table_* and includes the database_prefix value.
Donnet, Sylvain
Thanks Greg for this reply.
But, when I look at functions.inc.php, on v2.1.0, I only have following code for 'database_prefix' management :
if (!empty ($CONF['database_prefix']))
if (eregi ("^SELECT", $query))
$query = substr ($query, 0, 14) . $CONF['database_prefix'] . substr ($query, 14);
$query = substr ($query, 0, 6) . $CONF['database_prefix'] . substr ($query, 7);
And, all queries in all other files are hardcoded with the table name : "SELECT * FROM domain WHERE ...". So, any query not having table name beginning at 14th char or at 7th char will fail...
Donnet, Sylvain
May I suggest to use in all queries something like :
"SELECT * FROM $CONF['database_prefix']domain, $CONF['database_prefix']alias WHERE ..." (or something shorter)
as "" will always substitute values. Default being $CONF['database_prefix']='', queries will not be changed by default.
An other solution could be to configure table names in config.inc.php, as there are not so many tables in postfixadmin :
$CONF['table_admin'] = $CONF['database_prefix'].'admin';
$CONF['table_domains'] = $CONF['database_prefix'].'domains';
This second solution could be more interesting. In my situation, I have an already installed Postfixadmin (2.0.4) and I can have two set of tables to compare, edit, transfert, ...
Also, I don't if I am the only guy in the world to use Postgresql on Postfixadmin, but I needed to adapt several functions and templates, due to the difference between MySQL and Postgresql. In the last case, 'active' column in several tables is defined as 'boolean', but scripts sometimes test as if boolean (if $...['active'] = "t" in functions.inc.php), sometimes as if integer ("UPDATE ... active=1-active ...").
Greg C
Make sure you are getting the latest SVN checkout of the trunk code. If your 2.0.4 is working, it would be easier to let it use tables without prefixes and use the prefix for 2.1.x

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blame ad by mayor, deputy for jeopardizing money-saver
A week of silliness and incompetence has a plan to lease or sell money-losing municipal golf courses teetering on the brink of defeat. Funny, but it didn't have to happen that way.
The city has discussed for many years the divestiture of its golf courses. Although some (Kildonan and John Blumberg) are profitable, most of the others barely break even or lose money. More importantly, thanks to accounting rules that require the city to record depreciation and payments in lieu of property taxes as expenses, the agency operating city courses generates a net liability. Leasing or selling the courses wouldn't eliminate that liability, but it certainly reduces it, which is ultimately good for the city's bottom line.
If the adults on council were allowed to sit down and debate the pros and cons of leasing or selling golf courses, all of Winnipeg might benefit. Lamentably, that opportunity was sacrificed on the altar of incompetence and expediency. The final vote on this plan will be held at council next week, and it remains unclear whether there will be enough support to give it a green light.
How did the golf-course debate get so mucked up? Rather than relying on the strengths of their argument, Mayor Sam Katz and deputy mayor Russ Wyatt turned this debate into yet another performance of city hall's theatre of the absurd.
The silliness began when Katz and other proponents objected to advertisements from CUPE 500, the city's largest union, urging citizens to lobby council to keep the golf courses public. CUPE wants to protect unionized jobs, something it can hardly be faulted for.
In response, Katz and Wyatt unleashed a campaign of their own called "Responsible Winnipeg," urging citizens to lobby councillors to sell or lease the golf courses. The campaign cost $90,000 in public funds.
The problem is that when it was first launched, Responsible Winnipeg did not identify itself as a city effort. In fact, it was only after complaints that changes were made to identify it as a city campaign. That created a second problem: Council never approved the $90,000. In fact, councillors did not know about the campaign until it was up and running.
This was a deliberate attempt to deceive Winnipeggers into influencing parts of council. Who is ultimately responsible for this childish, disingenuous bid to undermine opponents and deceive citizens?
When you sort through the conflicting assertions and butt-covering rationalizations, the best version of the truth seems to be thus: Katz approved, in general, the idea of a campaign to counter the CUPE ads. However, Katz insists he did not approve the content or tone of the campaign. That was Wyatt's responsibility. Or it's the bag he's been left holding.
Either way, it doesn't explain why the mayor and deputy mayor would have proceeded with such a poorly conceived, unapproved counter-advertising campaign in the first place.
The mayor is sensitive about efforts to stir up public opposition to council plans. Katz has seen several of his initiatives die on the vine after council was battered by calls and emails.
The unflattering reality is that council is notoriously easy to influence, with councillors changing their positions with the currents flowing through their email inboxes. In this instance, however, there is little evidence to suggest the CUPE campaign was generating public outrage. That is not to say there isn't some concern, only that golf-course privatization isn't destined to be a spark for grassroots protest.
Call it a lack of maturity, or perhaps the absence of delayed gratification. Either way, it seemed quite possible Katz could have won this vote and the public relations battle by focusing on the logic of his argument. Instead, he and Wyatt, the creative director of Responsible Winnipeg, have made the awkward and underhanded campaign to bully councillors into the story of the moment. That is a travesty.
The fate of the golf courses now hangs in the balance. Katz was able to get a compromise at executive policy committee Wednesday to divide the privatization plan into two parts: One would involve the sale of the John Blumberg course; the second deals with the lease of four other courses.
The big vote will come Wednesday when council meets. For now, there appears to be a shortage of councillors to support both parts of the plan. That makes the next week important for both proponents and opponents.
There is little doubt that over the next week, citizens will make themselves heard. Unfortunately, it appears they won't be talking about golf courses. Instead, they will be filling councillors' heads with howls about a deceitful and wasteful advertising campaign. A campaign that is still up and running despite clear evidence that it represents an abuse of power.
Fortunately, if this scuttles the plan to privatize golf courses, we'll all know where to lay the blame.

From Morro Bay CA, My Wife and I like to visit locally as much as we can and far away as much as we can afford. We are avid sailors and love everything water.
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Tom has completed online and offline ID verification.
Good place to stay when you're in Morro Bay, just 5 minutes from the state park where I kayak and 5 minutes to the center of Morro life--the harbor. The place is clean, the bed comfortable, and tastefully decorated. And you get a spa and bikes. Stay here instead of a hotel! Tom is very responsive, so I'm a happy customer.
I was not able to make it last minute due to unforeseen personal reasons. Tom was very accommodating and receptive. I will definitely be visiting his listing in the next couple of mths
Tom was an ideal host! The apartment was ready and waiting for us, and had so many thoughtful little touches. It was really evident that Tom put a lot of thought into what his guests might need or enjoy—for example, not only did we have access to the hot tub, but he also provided robes, towels, and a flashlight all right by the door—and I couldn't have been happier with the stay. Since I stayed there with a friend, I slept on the couch, which was totally comfortable for someone petite! I'd certainly stay with Tom again if I go back to Morro Bay.
Blown away at what a fantastic place Tom has created here! I almost want to keep it a secret rather than write the review that it absolutely deserves, just because I feel like I've discovered such an amazing hidden gem! Everything about it, from the private gated entrance iinto the secluded studio, down to the filtered water in the pitcher on the kitchenette counter, there just wasn't a single detail missed. Wind down with a glass of vino or a cold one when you get there, and enjoy a cup of yogurt with some granola in the morning, Tom has got you covered, along with a Keureg coffee and tea selection and cream and milk in the fridge. The studio amenities are so nice you almost don't want to leave your little abode, but at some point you need to remind yourself that you're in beautiful Morro Bay--and there are so many things to do and see! And Tom's got you covered on any Morro Bay activity you might want to tackle... With all the extras that Tom has for you to play with, I was reminded of being a little 8 or 9 year old kid and being overjoyed to go to my 10 year old cousin's house and play with all his cool toys. Tom is like that older cousin! If the surf is up, he's got the surf boards for you; if it's not then take the stand up paddleboard out, cross the narrow harbor and hike the dunes... Afterward, take one of his bicycles down to the wharf for some din, and come back to chill in the hot tub after. The possibilities are pretty endless, I felt like I had more than I needed, and maximized my Morro Bay experience. Without question, will make this my future stop between SF and LA.
every thing was better than we expected. Tom had wine and chocolates out for us. There was oatmeal and yogurts and granola. Coffee for the morning. He let us use his bikes and surfboards, paddle boards. it was awesome. The place was super clean and comfortable with a hot tub. We got hooked on the net flix available. It was great and we will be backl!
Tom's place is ideal for those who want to relax in one of the most beautiful parts of the state. We arrived later than we had expected (thanks Highway 1), and it was no big deal to Tom. He greeted us and showed us the place - it was perfect for what we needed. Very clean with new decor and a few comforts of your own home make this place ideal. Big bathroom with clean towels, an AMAZING hot tub and spacious yard, TV with tons of channels, nice little kitchenette and perfect location a few blocks from the beach. Tom also provides a Keurig and convenient breakfast, in addition to the fridge and freezer. Tom and Cyndy are both very nice and Morro Bay is the perfect getaway with someone you love! Thanks for a terrific weekend Tom.
Tom was so warm and welcoming. He met us as soon as we arrived and then quickly showed us around our place. It was exactly what we were expecting and even nicer. There were chocolates laid on our pillows. Wine and snacks left out for our pleasure. Organic yogurt, home-made granola, filtered water. It was perfect for 2. 3 may be too many for this space. The back yard is amazing! The hot tub is very nice! The water is just a short 10 minute walk from the space. Good restaurants and a few cool bars as well. Tom was a great host and we would stay here again in a heart beat! Thank you Tom.
Wow! What a great place to stay: a real feelgood cottage with jacuzzi, bikes, everything you could think of is there, even small chocolates on your pillow when you arrive, a bottle of wine, breakfast stuff like granola, yoghurt, fruit. We were so pleasantly surprised by it all! Tom is also very helpful: whatever information you need, he can and will help asap. Thanks very much, Tom, one night was much too short to enjoy all of this great place to stay!
This space was totally personalized, down to the chocolates Tom left on our bed to the bikes he offered us to use in the backyard, and even the wine he left out for us.
We had a great time in Tom´s cottage in Morro Bay. We were impressed by his hospitality and attention to detail. He left us lots of nice treats to make us feel welcome. We loved using the bikes and the hot tub. Everything was very clean and the bathroom was even heated. Another nice touch is the directory that explains how to use everything in the house, lists local attractions and restaurants, and includes brochures. We wish we could have stayed longer. We would definitely return.
Tom was a great guest. He was communicative and flexible. Very pleasant to work with.
Tom was great, easy to get along with and really friendly. I hope he comes to stay again!
Great guest! Highly recommended! Easy going and respective of our place. No problems at all!
Tom was an awesome guest! I would highly recommend him and I hope he stays again.
Tom and Cindy are great guests, warm and congenial. Very clean, left the room spotless. Most welcome guests.
Tom is an extraordinary guest in every way!! Super cool, excellent communication, incredibly clean, friendly, respectful, et all! Many thanks to Tom and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any and all hosts!
Tom was only here for one night and he was at work late and then gone early in the morning, but he from our limited interaction Tom was courteous, communicated well and he left my place very tidy.. I highly recommend Tom to prospective hosts. Chris/Carla

Thoughts on Whirlwind?
I noticed Whirlwind on a dud list. Is that the general consensus?
I agree, hardly a dud here as well and share Hostahillbilly's viewpoint about it being distinct enough you can't mistake it for anything else - thank goodness for small mercies!
I love mine - it is still unfurling. These are some lovely mature ones. They get more beautiful with size, don't they?
I really like Whirlwind and have planted it in several gardens. The only others that I have planted in different gardens are Blue Angel, June and Squash Casserole.
I like the way Whirlwind adds a sense of motion to the garden. It has been an easy, fast grower for me wherever I have put it. I get a lot of customer requests for Whirlwind after visitors see it growing.
I'm there with you, Don. Got mine in 2011 and it's not much bigger than yours, but I like very much! :-). The substance is much like Revolution but there is no comparison when it comes to growth. If you don't have it, you should try it!
Here is my Whirlwind contrasting with Aztec Treasure. I absolutely love the contrast.
At least I think it's a Whirlwind. I've spent a year trying to ID it and have settled for Whirlwind. I got my Whirlwind from a landscaper's dump pile (been thinking about starting a hosta rescue service - some people actually throw hostas out!!!).
So please, if anyone thinks this is not Whirlwind, let me know.
I think second wind is a sport. I almost like it better.
I have several whirlwind; less of a problem with them than GE. W will 'pop' if you plant it next to a blue or a gold or chartreuse, as referenced above. I put mine next to potomac pride for further contrast.
Dave, your comment got me searching my pics looking for something I remembered...your comment jarred my memory.
It isn't whirlwind, sorry, but the "pop" can't be ignored - thanks for the reminder, Dave! :-)
Here is an amazing colour in Arctic Blast when surrounded by chartreuse
and green and yellow. Never would have thought of this....I was just moving hostas around as I watered. Now I have to play around with my Whirlwind to achieve a "pop".
Thank you all on this thread for helping me ID my Whirlwind. Maybe only fellow hosta people know how great it is to be able to identify mystery hostas. But then most people can't name their hostas when I ask what it is! And I'm always asking.
Anyone care to take a crack at IDing this one ( at least lead me in the right direction):
You guys are good! I have another Gold Standard I bought from Costco in a box of 6 roots(don't ever ever do that) 3 growing seasons ago and still being small and with different light looks similar, but not the same. Thank you for the help.
Would opening a new thread called 'ID this Hosta' be opening a can of worms?
Wow, Brandy. That's a lot of green! Is it getting too much sun?
I am certainly no hosta expert but I do know bloom time can help ID a hosta. From what I have read Whirlwind should bloom mid to late summer. Mine shows no signs whatsoever of bloom on July 7. For yours to be blooming 4 days into the start of summer - wow. Does your location in zone 6 make that big of difference in bloom times from my zone 5?
Or does growing it in a pot speed up the growing seasonal aspect?

Great general utility drill press. When you need a hole in something, this will put one there and it's pretty solidly built. Another review mentioned the spindle having a few hundreths play... Look. This is an inexpensive benchtop drillpress. It's not for machinists, obsessive compulsives or people who have a bizarre relationship with their tools. It's for people who need to drill a hole in this, put a hole in that. What little tollerence disparity it might have isn't going to mean a hill of beans for 99.9% of tasks and for those people who bought it expecting it to achieve the 0.1%, well, your expectations were too high.

bought this to trim rifle brass with my Forster press trimmer. have a big press in the shop but wanted something smaller for the bench. depth stop was most important part to me and this is where this piece fails. I checked in-store and the press there seemed sturdy enough but after setting mine up and using it a bit, I noticed press drilling deeper and deeper. Seems that one of the pieces that should be the strongest is made of plastic. the piece that connects the depth guide stop to the chuck stem. It starts flexing and bowing with little pressure now. Other than that, hard to beat a basic press for the sale price plus my discount. Also, the instructions do not include any directions regarding the chuck. Funny how in depth they go into warnings and symbols but have absolutely "ZERO' reference to installing the chuck. Simply tapped it on with a rubber mallet. Friction holds it but concerned this would wear/slip long term with heavy use. probably won't affect most users. Didn't check the chuck run out but visually don't see much wobble. If you are wanting precision holes, I would think you would want to spend more than $50-60 on a press.Sadly, this unit is going back and the unit Harbor Freight sent after I called about how to install the chuck. They had no replacement parts or instructions. Seems like R&D on this press is still in the works.

8 inch drill press
By CR the machinist
from Kramer junction California
About Me Professional
well the only complaint I have or the bearings are a little on the loose side and the pulleys on the rough side already chueing the belt other than those two things its good and I've already put it into use and it is working fine thank you.
You get what you pay for
By Tyler
from Gainesville, GA
I use this in small woodworking projects and even for drilling holes in glass. Look folks... it's a cheap drill press. I wouldn't be using it for brain surgery but its great for knocking holes in things in batches and it won't hurt your wallet either. Using this thing until I can get a big boy drill press. Definitely recommend for beginners!
Great Drill Press for the price!
By WVHunter129
from Fayetteville, WV
Bought this drill press to use in my reloading hobby. Will also use it in other projects, such as milling some parts. This is a great starter drill press for the hobbiest and lite duty work. Easy to assemble following the manual that came with it.

Here is my two cents worth
By Royer
from Aurora,Colorado
easy to put together,my only complaint is how rough those aluminum pulleys are machined.Also the light that is on the press is about as bright as I am, for drilling I mainly use for metal work, wood is soft so it works great for that. I've drilled thru 3/16 mild steel with a 3/8 drill bit did not have single problem it worked great! I would recommend this press to anyone,as long as you take your time,have SHARP bits and spray either we-40 or oil to keep your bit cool, it's all good.

Turn press upside down to trim brass
By Klee
from Tucson, AZ
If you reload, this drill press can be turned upside down and still be on a stable platform. Then you can add a drill fit trimmer and trim away. I put some pads on the bottom to make it even more stable. No need to install the stand, post, or wheel. I went with the lowest RPM and it works just fine. Point a fan on the motor to keep it cooler.

On/Off switch broke !
By Aero
from Saint Augustine,Fla
This morning I go out into my small shop to use my drill press and the on/off switch does not work !You might think that I got angry but you would be wrong. The reason is because I bought this drill press in June 1994!!! So I went to the hardware store today and replaced the switch and it works great again.I use this drill press 2-5 times per week, drilling wood,steel and plastic. The only item that I had trouble with was the depth gauge. Then as now it was made of plastic and was junk.On a historical note, the base, table and pulleys were cast iron and there was no light.One last thing, it is still using the original drive belt!

Application iiiea Keve nber 94,1811. Serial No. seesaw.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, Moaais Fnnin ius, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadel his in the county of Philadelphia and Sta e oi Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Overcoats, of which thefollowing is a specifloat-ion.
My invention relates to improvements in overcoats, the object of the invention being to provide an improved overcoat which ma be reversed or turned inside out, and'wil form a perfect overcoat in either position.
A further object is to provide a single rment, two overcoats bothinside and outside bein perfectly made, each having its own pocEets, and the arment adapts to be worn with eithersi 0' out, the sides being preferably of diflerent materials, and both inside and outside materials so secured together articularly. throughobfi the edges thereof t at the arment will be perfectly finished from bot sides, and there will be no rough edges or enlargements. V
A further object is to prdvide a coat of this character which is adapted especially for use by detectives, as it enables the dctective tomaterially change his 'ap arance by simply reversing his coat, and t is is of very great importance while shadow ng a sus ct.
\Ivith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is a egerspective view illustrating my impro'v coat showing the same open to illustrate the inside as well as the outside. Fig. 2, is a view in elevation showin the removable collar 9 as it is adapted o be positioned on the coat. Fig. 3, is a view of the inner face of said removable collar. Fig.
is a view in section on the line 44 of 4 Fig. 1. Fi 5, is a view in section on the line' 5-45 0 Fig. 1, and Fig. 6, illustrates in improvement with a modified form of co lar with one end of the collar turned up.
Myim rovcd coat coin rises an outer coat 1 an an inner coat 2. Vhile I refer to these coats as inner and outer coats,-it is to be understood that their positions may be exactly reversed, so that either of said coats maybe inner or outer as desired. I refer to these arts as coats and not one as the coat, and t eother as a lining, because each is as rfect a coat as the other, and the garment is equall well ada ted to be worn, with either si e out, and t e casual observer can not detect any differences in the coat, ex-
cept such as are designed in order to make the coat appear ditlerently.' These coats 1 and 2 are made of very different materials, for example one coat is preferably of light goods and the other of dark, one of plain" goods and the other of plaid or mixed goods, and one may be water-proof if desired.
For purposes of clearness in description.
I ,will refer to coat 1 as the outer coat, and coat 2 as the inner coat. These coats 1 and 2 throughout their edges are secured as shown in Fig. t5. That is, the ed es of the coats are turned inwardly upon themselves in line with the filling 3, and as the inturned edges of the arment are the same in thick ness as the tilting when a line of stitching 4 is passed through the inturned edges, the edge of the garment will be smooth, and there will be no unevenness or enlargements. The outer garment 1 is preferably provided with a patch pocket 5, and the inside arment with an inserted pocket 6. Tiesc pockets are opposite each other, so that when the armentis in use, one may serve as an insi e pocket if'desired. .In manufacturing the coat, I may use severai styles of collar, for example, Fig. 1 shows the coat provided with a collar to match the material of the outside coat 1, and in this collar, buttons 7 are provided to enter button holes Bin a removable collar 9, which collar is adapted to be attached when the coat 2 is worn outside. This collar has hooks and eyes 10 at its ends to secure it in closed position ointhe coat, and when not desired may he carried in a pocket of the garment.
In Fiiz. 6, I illustrate the coat having a fixed co lar 11, which oii'one face has the material of the coat 1, and on its other face the material of'the coat 2, so that it may be turned inside out with the coat, and will conform to the material of the (out \vorn outside. This garment is therefore two garments in one, because it enables the user to turn it inside out, and thus have two gurments of ditl'crcnt i\ppeai-aiice.,'Tlic said garment is provided with buttons 12 inside that it may be readily .buttoned in either -flposit-ion.

That is not grounds for a transfer request. It would be impossible for all contributors to manage their entire tree.

Jerusha Herrington
Thanks for continuing on. Jerusha is my GG Grandmother.
My studies into my family have been compromised by the indifferent spelling of our last name from time to time with an "e" instead of an "a: for the second letter.

Jerusha is an interesting Hebrew name.
Her parents, the Bloodworths (including her Mom was also named Jerusha) Its an obscure Hebrew name meaning "taken or Married" and shows up twice in the Old Testament / Torah identifying Jerusha as the wife of King Uzziah and the mother of King Jotham. It only shows up in two places and was not a common or noteworthy name. I have noted that the other girl was called Sinah, another interesting name of Hebrew & Irish origin: sinah: hating, hatred. Original Word:
שִׂנְאָה (this site seems to handle Hebrew). I have the remainder of the Harrington line on my PATENTAX website somewhere, and I'll need to get tonights info to add to it.

Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Daniel, I'm 19 years old, I'm from Cape Town South Africa and I love beer.
So I bought a Coopers DIY Beer Kit yesterday, expecting it to come with a Lager, It actually came with a Draught (which is what I originally wanted).
So after setting everything up, sanitizing using unscented bleach at 7ml for each Litre, and letting the fermenter soak for a couple of hours. I was read to start.
So I mixed everything together as the instructions said, took a hydrometer reading which read 1.042, and moved the fermenter to a nice cool location (Its summer here in South Africa)
Now not even 24 hours later, I checked up on my beer, the temperature has been stable at 24 degrees Celsius, and all I can say is WOW, the fermentation is going strong, there is a fantastic hops smell coming from the fermenter, there is a ton of activity and im feeling great about this beer.
Just thought I should share my experience with everyone.
I will post some pictures.
Congrats on your good fermentation!
I'm glad you're having fun. That toilet paper in the shot is giving me all kinds of bad vibes though
Looks great! Is there an air lock on the fermentor? If not you are going to blow the lid off that puppy and have a delicious mess to clean up!
"So you say you just brewed your first batch of beer. Welcome to the obsession." --me, to every first time brewer I ever meet.
Hahaha sorry about that. The fermenter is sitting in an old unused shower in a spare bedroom. The toilet paper is there for if I made any spills by accident.
According to coopers, the fermenter that Im using doesnt require an airlock due to how the fermenter is designed. The lid sits on loosely allowing the co2 to escape by keep oxygen and unwanted pests out
You may want to consider trying to ferment about 5-6*C cooler next time. 24*C is 75*F which is too warm for most ale yeasts and will produce some undesirable flavors.
Go Springboks!
Well after 4 days of fermentation, at 26 degrees Celsius (I know its way to high, but I cant find a cooler place considering the outside air temp is 35 degrees) I decided to take a hydrometer reading due to there not being any activity in the fermenter. The reading came out at 1.009 and I will be taking another reading tomorrow again to see if it stays the same so that I can bottle it.
When I did a hydrometer reading I also tasted the beer, and I have to say, what a wonderful tasting beer. I gave some to my father and older brother and they both say that this is a fantastic beer that they will choose over most commercial beers sold here.
I'm quite surprised in flavour, it doesnt taste fruity, it tastes like a proper draught.
Now for my next question, when will the cloudiness go away? Will it only go away after bottling and the secondary fermentation process is started?
There is probably going to be a little bit of cloudiness no matter what you do. There are clarifiers you can get to use on the beer.
That being said letting it sit 1-2 weeks will help with dropping out some sediment. If you have a refrigerator that could hold your fermenter cold crashing is an option too. Keep in mind though once you bottle the yeast is going to do its thing all over again in each bottle and you'll end up with some sediment in the bottles.
