Spam posts~what to do?
magothyrivergirlMarch 15, 2012
When Spammers post - simply notify GW Admin and they will delete the offending SPAM - like this morning when an individual posted the same ad on many posts & started a new post full of SPAM.
How to notify GW Admin-
Scroll to the bottom of the Main Page of the Quilting Forum. Click on Technical Problems,
Under Nature of Message - click Abuse of our Forums.
Subject - Type Spam (or whatever)
In the message box, Paste the message ID that you have copied from the Offending Post.
GW Admin is very good at deleting the Spam if you notify them. Giving them the Msg ID makes it easier for them.
We seem to be getting alot of SPAM lately. Do not click on any links if you think the Post is not legit or SPAM.
I hope this helps!

Had set himself afire outside the police headquarters
NEW DELHI: Shashi Kumar Shukla, the retired Assistant Commandant of the Border Security Force, who had set himself afire outside the police headquarters here on Tuesday, succumbed to his injuries on Thursday. Meanwhile, the West Delhi police have ordered an inquiry into the allegations of maltreatment and humiliation meted out to Shashi by the staff of Uttam Nagar police station.
According to the police, Shashi, a resident of LIG Flats in Uttam Nagar, had suffered 90 per cent burn injuries on Tuesday and was admitted to LNJP Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries this morning. Last month, on October 5, Shashi had lodged a complaint against his neighbour, K. R. Puri, saying that he was harassing him and not allowing him to carry out construction in his flat which he wanted to use for commercial purposes. But the police did not take any action since it was of a civil nature.

A part of the fund from the event, which is being organised by V Clubb, has been utilised for developing and shaping children from slum tenements having dance talents, for which the class was held at the Let's Dance Institute Studio in Vepery. Several children from the nearby slum tenements of Vepery participated in the dance programme.

maytag LAT9806aae
laurabeeDecember 28, 2004
Does anyone know if this washer, Maytag LAT9806aae is any good? I have a chance to buy it with the dryer LDE9806ACE to replace my noise old Amana/Speed Queen. Maytag customer service is terrible unless you have a new machine, so I can't get any info from them. The seller wants 400 for the pair, by the way, and replaced the dryer motor.

Composed of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (nearly 4,000 cases produced) is a great buy for a world-class Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. It exhibits a dense purple color, notes of charcoal, creme de cassis, graphite, and forest floor, and a ripe, opulently fruity, rich, full-bodied style. Its endearing silkiness, multi-dimensions, and mature, sweet tannins suggest it has two decades of life ahead of it. (RP)
(12/ 2009)
Good full ruby. Pungent aromas of raspberry, currant, graphite, dried herbs, violet and loam, along with a whiff of dark tobacco; smells like a Graves. Less giving on the palate than the nose suggests, with a firm edge of acidity keeping the flavors under wraps today. Finishes with youthfully strict tannins. Winemaker Smith notes that he has not added either water or acid to any of the Larkmead reds since the 2004 vintage.
(6/ 2010)
In his extended comments from his review of this wine, Robert Parker remarked that Larkmead is "one of Napa Valleys finest estates, and one that is not as appreciated as it should be, Larkmead fashions top-flight wines that should evolve for 15-25 years or more."

Corporations around the globe rely on having highly efficient IT networks, and introducing a new piece of enterprise software into the mix will have a far-reaching impact on the entire organization. The decision to purchase and implement new business IT software is not one to enter into lightly. The process may be convoluted because it may affect many different parts of the business and can be difficult to manage without a dedicated workforce focusing solely on software implementation and integration. This article will present a set of recommended cost/benefit criteria that should be considered when evaluating, implementing and measuring the ROI of implementing new IT management systems.
- Cost of Deployment Across the Enterprise - Enterprises today demand the rapid deployment of new software to get up and running quickly and reduce lag time in their operations. Reducing the time of implementation is critical to measuring accurate ROI, as organizations cannot afford spending large amounts of time and resources to install new IT software that takes away from the business benefit of adopting such technologies.
- Cost of Software - The range in cost for enterprise IT software is wide. But keep in mind that paying a high price does not ensure value, nor does it buy success. According to Gartner, Global IT spending will top $4 trillion by 2015 and in its Q3 forecast for 2012, IT spending growth has been reduced from 3.0% last quarter to 1.7% now. Don't be afraid to comparison shop and find the right software solution for your company that can scale with your business.
- Associated Risks of Implementation - Understand what it means to move from technologies you are currently working with to the new way of doing things. If you are replacing an existing tool or software package, consider the ramifications of doing so and evaluate any potential exposures to your organization by making the switch. Taking time to speak with other companies or leading analyst firms may also help mitigate the risks associated with moving forward with one software solution over another.
- Staffing, Training & Overhead - Some enterprise software packages have a steep learning curve and take quite a bit of training for system administrators to understand and use them on a daily basis. Calculating the costs of training existing employees for the new software and any decrease in the needs for support by adopting new systems is imperative. If the software provides a more streamlined way to centrally manage network maintenance with less overhead, include any reduction in the number of employees needed to configure and maintain such systems.
- Cost-Savings Resulting from Implementation - Enterprises need to focus on their business challenges and problems at hand, not on the product road map for the technology they are using, to help achieve their business goals. Additionally, speed-of-innovation is critical to ensure you stay up-to-date with the latest capabilities of the market. Business software evolves fast. Selecting a solution that has a large community of contributors, such as an open source solution, drives product innovation that traditional in-house or proprietary development teams cannot touch. Some systems also offer additional cost-savings through a reduction in variable costs, the number of required servers, or a through a decrease in the amount of energy that is consumed. These are all important factors to consider in your ROI calculation when evaluating new software for potential cost savings.
Evaluation of Cloud-Based Models
Firms almost always consider cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) as a cost advantage over on-premise in the short run due to its quick implementation times and pay-as-you-go pricing but this is not always the case. It becomes important to assess the long-term value of the cloud, evaluating if the rent-versus-own model necessarily has a cost crossover point and if so, when? As the cloud continues to move into a broader range of applications and into larger, more strategic deployments across enterprise IT, this model has become a major consideration for businesses.
The cloud may eliminate the need for firms to acquire their own instance of hardware, as well as, associated testing, frequently offering a turnkey preconfigured solution that firms can turn on in days or weeks with minimal configuration. While functionality may be limited through cloud services, a hosted solution may also make it easy for firms to deploy incrementally and may offer short commitments of monthly or annual contracts, which means that purchasing cycles are often shortened as well. Some on-premise software solutions also offer subscription-based pricing options and these should be considered based on the requirements of your corporation.
Regardless of whether or not a corporation elects to adopt a cloud or on-premise IT solution, each organization has its own business requirements and needs when evaluating technology to meet business goals and initiatives. Incorporating each of these considerations in your evaluation process will help ensure you are implementing the right technology that will not only address your needs today, but will be flexible enough to grow with your organization through the future.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Jun 14, 2013 GMTChoosing a Linux distribution is not always a technical issue. For many the degree of community control is at least as important as the version of the kernel or the default package selection. Even though Linux long-ago entered the mainstream of business, the conviction persists that distributions governed by the community remain more democratic and truer to the ideals of free software than those ruled by a company. However, in practice, determining the type and degree of community control needs more than a quick look at a description of the distribution's governance.Several major distributions can be defined as community-governed. However, the exact form of government in such...
Jun 11, 2013 GMTFor the past couple of months, I've been drafting a book with the working title of "Styles and Templates in LibreOffice." It's going well, although not fast enough --a big project never moves fast enough for me -- but in many ways it's an exercise in exasparation when I see how little things have changed since I last wrote about such topics.Writing the book is a return to expertise that I haven't needed for five or six years. I no longer write manuals, and I long ago devised the templates for my everyday purposes, and haven't needed to revive them recently. Yet despite the importance of styles and templates in LibreOffice, they remain as needlessly arcane and as lacking in...
May 30, 2013 GMTThe days when Linux applications were small and simple are long gone. With Firefox and LibreOffice installed on most desktops, the community has embraced monster-sized apps so unreservedly that you sometimes need to look twice to see what operating system you are using. In fact, the complexity has become so great that simplicity is being reinvented again and again -- by adding complexity.I made this observation while looking at Author, the still-in-development module for serious writers in Calligra Suite. Scanning Planet KDE a few days ago, I noticed a blog entry by Inge Wallin announcing that Author now included a "distraction-free mode."Judging from the screen shot,...
May 24, 2013 GMTAfter a few drinks, I've been known to hold forth on my theory that humans have evolved to be a mixture of 20% technophiles and 80% technophobes. The technophiles, of course, are needed for progress. But experimenting can be chancy (Gurk! So that mushroom is poisonous!), so the technophobes are needed, too, to keep the species going in the face of disaster.I suspect that free software is unusual in being a community of technophiles. After all, the cautious are likely to stick with what the majority are using, and avoid what is rapidly evolving. However, I often suspect that a dash of technophobic caution would be as much a benefit to free software as to the human species. The limits of...

In the past, I have pointed out publicly that in many countries, using a pseudonym is legal unless you are doing so for criminal purposes.I have acknowledged, too, that many people use pseudonyms for legitimate reasons, such as to hide from abusive spouses or to fulfill the terms of employee contracts that limit their expressions of opinions.

Utility leaders, nuclear owners, FERC Commissioner publicly rebut Exelon's anti-PTC campaign
Last month, AWEA released a report that comprehensively rebuts claims made by Exelon, the largest merchant owner of nuclear power plants in the country, that the renewable tax credit is significantly affecting its profit margins. Since then, a growing chorus of other nuclear plant owners, utility leaders, and even a Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner have weighed in to validate the conclusions of our report and criticize Exelon's attacks.
At the Commission's public meeting last week, FERC Commissioner John Norris commented that AWEA's report provides "very compelling evidence" that "the "PTC and negative pricing...are having none or negligible impact on nuclear facilities" and the need to get these types of false claims "out of our rhetoric."
Several leading figures in the electric utility industry have now weighed in on wind energy's benefits to the electricity market, supported by the renewable energy Production Tax Credit – including major owners of nuclear plants.
Their public statements stand in stark contrast to Exelon's recent attempt to pin its financial woes on wind energy. A sample of what these other nuclear owners have said:
"Unfortunately, energy policy has become politicized by too much zero-sum thinking. Some say the shale gas revolution is bad for renewable energy. Others insist that renewable energy is bad for the nuclear business. Many are quick to criticize tax provisions related to one technology, such as the PTC, while being slow to acknowledge long-standing federal policies related to other technologies like oil and gas, solar, and nuclear energy. Investments and improvements in one technology must spell disaster for all the others, or so this thinking goes.
"My company thinks very differently. Yes, we are the largest wind developer in the country. Yet we also operate one of the nation's largest nuclear fleets. We are a major developer of utility-scale solar power and we purchase more natural gas than any other U.S. electric utility.
"We do not merely advocate for an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy — we live it. And from our perspective, nuclear plants in competitive markets are not challenged by wind energy but by low natural gas prices caused by the shale gas revolution.
"Blaming the wind industry for the challenges in the merchant nuclear business may be politically expedient, but it will not help any company or technology operate more successfully in a low natural gas price environment."
-- James L. Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy Inc., op-ed in CQ Roll Call, "Congress Should Extend the Production Tax Credit, Develop a Long-Term Alternative," April 7
"Negative pricing is not driven primarily by wind. There are issues with how nuclear plants respond to the changes in the marketplace and the need for more flexibility in dispatch. And of course, low gas prices are one of the big factors changing everything in the electricity market...but the negative price issue has been very, very rare for us, and we do not see it as a significant challenge. "
-- Frank Prager, VP of Policy & Strategy, Xcel, quoted in Greentech Media's "Utility Exelon Wants to Kill Wind and Solar Subsidies While Keeping Nukes," April 1
"Wind energy does not have a negative impact on electricity markets and does not cause nuclear plants to shut down. Merchant nuclear plants are challenged primarily by low natural gas prices. Killing the PTC will not change this. Eliminating the PTC would serve only to kill job-creating investments in renewable energy projects across the country, [obstructing] clean, reliable, and affordable energy that is produced right here in America."
-- John DiDonato, NextEra Energy Resources VP of Wind Development, also in above Greentech Media article
A Chicago reporter noted that David Crane of NRG Energy is highly critical of Exelon "for publicly advocating for the elimination of subsidies for wind and solar power and at the same time asking for public help to bolster the finances at several of its nukes in Illinois."
"That's just hypocritical. They just need to be more consistent in their positions. [The power industry] acts as if the American public existed to serve the grid rather than the grid existing to serve the American public. The power industry in its DNA is maybe the least innovative industry in the U.S., and maybe in the history of mankind…I'm not anti-utilities. I'm not anti-coal. I'm not anti-nuclear. I'm just anti-B.S."
-- NRG Energy Inc. CEO David Crane, new owner of Edison Mission Energy assets in Illinois, quoted in Crain's Chicago Business, "New energy guy in town takes a shot at incumbent Exelon," April 3
These statements reinforce what the American Wind Energy Association has been saying: "Wind energy's impact on markets is positive, by displacing more expensive forms of energy," as AWEA Director of Research Michael Goggin told E&E News for a March 28 story. He added: "Moreover, this impact is entirely market-driven, is widely seen as beneficial, and occurs for all low-fuel-cost sources of energy, including nuclear."

text: Ann Arbor Snap Judgment brings 'storytelling with a beat' to Ann Arbor By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 28, 2013 Twitter Listen Listening... / 5:06 An interview with Glynn Washington of Snap Judgment. Saturday night, Michigan Radio and the Ann Arbor Summer Festival welcome Snap Judgment to the Power Center. Snap Judgment is one of the newer additions to the public radio lineup and its creator calls it storytelling with a beat. "I'm a big, big public radio head from a long time ago," said Glynn Washington, the creator, executive producer, and host of the show. "But sometimes public radio can get a little bit boring. And I was trying to come up with an idea to get rid of the boring stuff and leave everything that I loved. What we try to do at Snap is get rid of the exposition, drop people right into the heart of the story, and the way that we do that is through soundscaping." Many of Washington's personal stories and experiences have made it onto the show, sometimes even stories his family members have never heard. His mother often appears as a character in his stories. "Sometimes Mommy doesn't appreciate it too much," he confessed. Washington explained that while it has been difficult to maintain such a level of transparency on the air, it has also been very rewarding. "It's been interesting getting used to sort of bleeding into the microphone every week, but I do find it very, very cathartic in the end. I find that storytelling is kind of the way that I process my own issues. And, you know, stories have a beginning, middle, and end, but life doesn't really have an end, and so putting these stops on things is helpful for me at least." The show on Saturday will feature some of the world's best storytellers, and they have all been asked to tell a tale that will move the audience. Accompanying the storytellers is a live band directed by Alex Mandel. Washington expects that everyone who attends will not be disappointed. "It's a duet between the storytellers and the musician that really creates a new art form, and I'm really excited for everyone to hear it. You're going to be blown away." Recently, The Atlantic wrote an article about Washington hailing him as "NPR's Great Black Hope." Washington said that while he loved the article, he felt that it was an unfortunate headline. "I see what they were doing. 'Let's get the most clicks we can for our headline, let's put something provocative out there.' And I understand because I do it myself all the time," he said. "I think what they were trying to say was that what Snap Judgment is doing is reaching out to audiences that public radio has traditionally left behind. If I wanted to be provocative, I would have called it This New American Life, but Ira would really be upset if I did so." Glynn Washington and Snap Judgment will be here Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Power Center. Tickets are on sale now. -Michelle Nelson, Michigan Radio Newsroom Listen to the full interview above.

Rhoades was told he would have between six months and a year left with his dad. He went home, and really got to know his father.

Old Borders flagship store in Ann Arbor to be new location for local steakhouse By Mark Brush • Jun 6, 2013 Knight's / Facebook The shell of one old Ann Arbor institution will become a new home for another, still thriving, Ann Arbor institution. The owners of a local butcher and steakhouse, Knight's, plan to open another restaurant downtown. The new restaurant will be in the space once occupied by the Borders flagship store. After Borders went bankrupt, the downtown space has been empty - a hole in the middle of an otherwise busy downtown. AnnArbor.com's Lizzy Alfs has more: "We've been looking for the right location for about five years," said Don Knight, who runs the restaurant on Dexter Avenue. "When we saw this spot become available, we thought it could be really cool." The move comes 61 years after Ray Knight opened Knight's Market at 420 Miller Ave., and nearly 30 years after he purchased Annie's Dugout at 2324 Dexter Ave., opening the now-iconic Knight's Steakhouse. Ray's five children run the family businesses after Ray died in February. You wouldn't know Knight's Steakhouse on Dexter Ave. is there unless you looked for the sign - a black knight chess piece. With a location downtown, you won't miss it.

The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission split nine to nine on authorizing a $600,000 grant to help the Michigan Flyer expand its daily trips from eight to twelve. The commissioner with the potential tie-breaking vote did not attend Wednesday night's meeting. State and federal transportation agencies have already approved the grant, which would essentially help offset the costs for the first few months of the added service between East Lansing and Ann Arbor. Sorting out the confusion over local marijuana laws, Ann Arbor's experience By Mark Brush • May 3, 2013 courtesy of Leni Sinclair It starts this week in Grand Rapids. As of May 1st, 2013, if you celebrate 4:20, you're less likely to get jail time. Instead, you're subject to a $25 fine for your first offense ($50 for your second, and $100 for three or more). WKZO reports Grand Rapids police have issued tickets already: The first tickets were issued Wednesday when the voter-approved ordinance took effect. The first one went to a 28-year-old man from the northwest side of Grand Rapids, who was cited around 3 a.m. Wednesday. The marijuana law in Grand Rapids mirrors the one in Ann Arbor. The only difference is "selling marijuana" is not listed as a potential civil infraction in Grand Rapids as it is in Ann Arbor (organizers felt Grand Rapids voters wouldn't be THAT lax).

Magner said the University made Shafer an offer "she couldn't refuse." Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 next › last »

On another forum, a gardener posted this information on enjoyment and related it to her enjoyment of gardening. I found this to be very interesting and started thinking about it in terms of other activities I do that I enjoy.
For instance, when I am playing music with the boyz and learning a new song, these definitely apply. There is a challenge to learn the sequence of chords and words, while knowing that we have the skills to do it. The time flies by, the feedback is immediate (if you hit the wrong chord, you know it), and we feel a sense of control and pride. Working as a team to learn the song requires giving of and giving up of yourself, but you are aware of yourself as part of a whole. And it does create wonderful enjoyment of the music, the process and pride in accomplishment.
Does this apply to activities that you do, including gardening? What are they?
The Eight Components of Enjoyment
1. Confronting tasks that we have a chance of completing.
2. Concentration.
3. Concentration is possible because the task has clear goals.
4. Task provides immediate feedback.
5. A deep, effortless involvement removes from awareness the worries and frustrations of everyday life.
6. Enjoyable experiences allow one to exercise a sense of control over oneÂs actions.
7. Concern for self disappears, yet paradoxically the sense of self emerges stronger after the flow experience is over.
8. Sense of time is altered - hours pass by in minutes.
Interesting! Last night in painting class I arrived early, set up, and painted for 3 hours straight, oblivious to the activity around me. I get completely sucked into it, and nothing else intrudes on my thoughts while I'm working at it. Then I go home and dream about it all night.
I have a similar experience with music as you. Our group meets once a week, but in the last year or so there has been some flex as to who will show up; sometimes we have a bass player, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we have a banjo player, but if he's gone sailing, sometimes we don't. Some nights we have extra guitars sitting in. This has pushed each of us to become more versatile and improvisational in the ways we contribute to the music, and I think we've all improved our skills as a result. Music night flies by much too quickly! And it is so boring to practice alone...the excitement comes from combining the different elements.
And gardening, of course. I can go out in the morning, begin working, and even forget to stop to eat. It's very meditative for me, I get a lot of good ideas about other things while gardening.
Hiking also fulfills the Eight Components of Enjoyment. We plan the hikes to fit into a single day's outing, and we know in advance the distance, elevation gain, peak altitude, and terrain. Every hike is a long walk done one step at a time, and I have to watch the trail to place each step on the rocks and gravel, so concentration definitely happens. I get into a rhythm with steps, hiking poles, and breathing. Of course the scenery is always the highlight: mountains or desert, trees, wildflowers, creeks, waterfalls, birds and other wildlife, a lonely cloud, a ray of sun -- you never know what will reveal itself.
My longest hike was 15 hours, but it didn't seem that long at all, although I was *dead* tired at the end of it.
Gee Catkim,I use to get lost also while hiking.LOL
You want to see time fly-try getting out of the wilderness before dark and the grizzlies,mountain lions,badgers,wolves,wolverines and other ``hunters'' go on the prowl.My wife was trying to drive deer for me and ridged out on the wrong one once.She kept going in the wrong direction.Fortunately I managed to cut in front of her at the very last minute.Never did tell her how close she came to spending the nite out alone in a Montana mountain range.
Get out of the wilderness before dark, Pete? My 15-hour hike began at 1 a.m. Yes, on purpose. But a night in the California Sierras is not the same as a night in the Montana mountains, I'll agree. No grizzlies or wolves here, and I don't go alone, so mountain lions less likely to jump on the back of my neck.

As we were travelling around by car, we had no need to use the Train.
I did notice one of the Trains servicing this area, looked to be rather old. It may have been a "Personal (P)," slow local train, that stops in the smallest villages, even in the middle of no-where, they are said to be dirty. Trains called "Accelerat" (marked "Ac", or "A") are just a little better than the "Personal," with the stations fewer and the trains a little bit more comfortable.
As you can see by the photo, it wasn't one of those real fast Trains.
- Trains
City Buses
City buses are very cheap way to get from one to another place in Satu Mare, but its somewhat not efficient because the city center can be seen by walking... and if you need a longer ride a taxi is a better solution i believe (taxies are still very cheap in Satu Mare) and its much more comfertable than bus.
Most of the bus stations has been replaced lately to new ones. The buses are still in updgrading process, some are refurbished, but yet there are many old buses that need a lot of work to be done on them.
The Train Station
Satu Mare is an importent railway junction because of te cities idustries and because the county borders Hungary and Ukraine.
There are 2 stations in Satu Mare. The Central station is the old one and its located at Grivitei strret. The station is a typical Transilvanian station and trains from all around Romania arrive there every day (including 2 night trains from Bucharest) and ther are also international trains to/from Hungary and Ukraine. The station is not far from the city Center but you can take a taxi or a bus that are both located just outsdie the station.
The second station, called Satu Mare South is located at the other side of the Somes river and its used only by local trains.
Taxies in my opinion is the best way to get from one place to the other in Satu Mare. they are very comfortable (the taxies in Satu Mare are much beter then those that can be found in Bucharest for example...), can be found everywhere and the most importent - they are cheap.
