Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine à Playa Negra dans cette maison. Sans voiture, nous étions à vingt minutes à pieds de la plage, nous avons adoré notre séjour.
Nous avons apprécié mon séjour à Playa Négra, c'est un village accueillant et tranquille.
À quelques minutes de marche de la plage c'était idéal pour nous.
La petite maison que nous avons loué était vraiment géniale, c'était chaleureux, propre et accessible. Le seul élément à améliorer serait la pomme de douche, mais ça fonctionnait et il y avait de l'eau chaude.
Nous avons eu beaucoup de retard lors de notre arrivé et il était facile de joindre Karina pour l'avertir. Même si nous avions une rencontre de prévu pour faire le "chek-in", elle nous a assuré sa disponibilité et ça nous a enlevé un stress.
Durant le séjour nous avons eu toujours un très bon service avec les employés présent pour de l'aide ou des demandes particulières.
As fotos da casa são bem fiéis à realidade. O espaço é bem aconchegante e foi ideal para a nossa estada. Bem pertinho da praia e o fato de ser do lado de um café e restaurante com wifi e piscina foi um plus. Durante nossa permanência lá a casa foi limpa e arrumada duas vezes, o que nem estávamos esperando e foi um agrado a mais. Recomendo!
Obrigado Silvia! Vcs sao sempre bem-vindos!
Wonderful, peaceful and gorgeous! We had a wonderful time at Playa Negra! This sleepy beach town was a welcome change from the excess tourism in Tamarindo. Karina was a wonderful host, greeted us upon arrival, made amazing breakfast and coffee every morning. They were super informative, gracious, and kind. Their suggestion for dinner at the local wood oven pizza was amazing! The rooms were clean, and the property was very secure. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed at the Surf Bungalows for eight days and we certainly fell in love with Playa Negra and the friends that we made while there. First off, Karina was very responsive and always replied to my many questions within hours prior to our arrival. She arranged an airport pickup for us as well, which was very helpful to us. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Karina in person, but she took care of us and all of our request from afar :) She was a gracious hostess. Thank you Karina for everything.
Our experience at the Surf Cabinas was nothing but positive! The cabina was comfortable and quaint, and very close to the main road and also the beach. The best part about our stay was the very warm hospitality and pleasant smiles shared by Manu! He was always available and very accommodating, making sure that all of our needs were met. And his cooking.... OH MY! He is a master chef! He spoiled us with his delicious home cooked dinners.
Waking up to fresh fruit and a cup of the most delicious coffee was a treat! And just a short walk to the most beautiful coastline to watch the sun set over the ocean. Manu was also a very good surf teacher - patient and experienced. We can't thank Manu enough for making our experience in CR a memorable one. Thank you again, Manu!
We would definitely stay at the Surf Bungalows again.
Our stay was perfect, I highly recommend this rental! It was close to the beach, the house was equipped with everything we needed and was beyond comfortable!
Casa Naranja is the perfect beach house! We felt right at home immediately. Everything was clean and worked well (wifi, hot water, water pressure, appliances, etc) The house is very charming with super spacious bedrooms, large closets, beach showers, an amazing porch that wraps around the whole second floor, and a 3rd floor roof deck where you can look at the stars and wonder why you don't live in Costa Rica permanently. The walk to the beach is very quick (just a couple minutes) and the area felt very safe. It's on the playa negra hotel property so there is a gate with security. The hotel also has great food if you don't feel like cooking at home. We would definitely go back. Hopefully soon!
If you like what you see in the pictures then be prepared to be surprised at how much better it is in person. Rooftop balcony is amazing especially at night. Never seen so many stars. Took surf lessons from a great teacher from the Hotel which was just a walk away. Karina the host was very quick with her replies and was very helpful. For a house in a country where insects are all over the place it was pretty free of insects. Can't keep them all out but I slept comfortably. Bottom line the place was great and I'd go back again. Side note, All day ATV rentals can be found in Playa Flamingo with Flamingo Adventures. No tour just ride free the way you should.
Before we went back to Europe this was our last stay in Costa Rica. ... and its been one of the best. We stayed for 3 days at the red bungalow which is simple and comfy at the same time and located in a lush green garden like the others. There was nothing we missed and if we could we would have stayed a longer time for sure. Karina and Manu are wonderful hosts that are perfectly connected to the local community and always there with helpful tips. Manu is a great cook, surf teacher and very nice guy in one person from whom you can benefit a lot. Other travelers staying in these bungalows were also very nice and we made some good friends during that time.
After all we can highly recommend this place and hope to come back soon. Pura Vida at Playa Negra!

I wonder how many people share my gagging sensation when I hear politicians talk about their "vision." There have been politicians, notable ones, who could talk about vision convincingly, without it sounding like the last of their talking points. Vision is the opposite of a talking point. The vision of cultural conservatism must begin to address the first principles of our nation gone astray - not simply in an exercise in going back to the Founding, but in an effort to recapture the common sense of government, of what it can and cannot do. A human right should elicit in us an aspiration of attainment, not the expectation of a hand-out.

WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - I wonder how many people share my gagging sensation when I hear politicians talk about their "vision." There have been politicians, notable ones, who could talk about vision convincingly, without it sounding like the last of their talking points. Vision is the opposite of a talking point.
One challenge faced by cultural conservatives will be the ability to articulate a worldview about human life, community, the state, the nation, and our place among other nations without eliciting someone's gag reflex or sounding a BS alarm. An authentic and true vision is what we lack in our politics, and politicians themselves have nearly ruined the word.
The favorite vision quote of politicians in the past two decades has been Proverbs 29:18; "Where there is no vision, the people perish." In actual usage, this isolated section of the verse allows politicians to view any vision he or she wishes to espouse, without boundaries. Proverbs 29:18, in fact, provides boundaries; the end of the verse reads, "but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."
So the vision must conform to something other than the politician's often utopian rhetoric. True vision exists within "the law," and that is precisely where cultural conservatism will differ with liberals and post-modernists on the "vision thing."
The law in the Old Testament stands for more than the Ten Command-ments or the lost lists of rules that fill the Pentateuch. The law stands for the objective order of life, the natural law created by God in creation. The law contains that order for human life and society - the logos, or Word, stands for the order embedded throughout creation and history.
Thus, talk about vision must be governed; it cannot be disingenuous promise making, inflating expectations of entitlement, and of human happiness without in-dividual effort. Rather, the vision should focus on strengthening families, vital social institutions, and a government that understands rights as privileges to be protected by our duties.
It's "rights" language that is mostly responsible for muddling political discussions of vision and worldview. Since the Declaration of Independence, human rights have evolved from privileges which all men and women have by nature, to entitlements which either the government or society must somehow provide.
When you look at the broad spectrum of the rights that have become the common parlance of policy, it's hard not to notice the slippage between their traditional understanding as privileges and the con-temporary view as entitlement. The Declaration spoke of the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all of which place obligations on each of us not to destroy or obstruct any person's exercise of those fundamental rights.
Not getting in the way of a person's exercise of a right is far removed from the obligation to provide that person, even guarantee that person, the good corresponding to the right. In other words, we cannot guarantee a person's life, which is subject to all manner of natural dangers - or their liberty.
Persons commonly give up their liberty to embrace license, to exercise their free will wantonly. Jefferson, thankfully, made this distinction clear when it came to happiness - the right is to the pursuit of happiness, not the capture!
Yet, most of the vision statements we hear in contemporary politics are not about these rights as privileges, as opportunities, as unfettered pursuit, but as a promise to provide the goods once obtained only by human effort and the exercise of personal responsibility.
Since those who talk most about rights have refused to address this distinction, indeed, have papered over this distinction, the very concept of a right has become bloated beyond recognition to signifying the vague promise of a government that will satisfy all human needs and longing.
Government cannot do that. As President George W. Bush often said, "Government cannot love," and he was wise in reminding us of that. Government exists in the realm of justice, not love - what we see in our bloat-ed conception of rights is a precise term made amorphous by those who treat government as in loco parentis.
The passage of Obamacare, and the promise of a single payer system just around the corner, is an ominous example of how the government more and more sees itself as the parental figure in relation to its children, the citizens.
The vision of cultural conservatism must begin to address the first principles of our nation gone astray - not simply in an exercise in going back to the Founding, but in an effort to recapture the common sense of government, of what it can and cannot do. A human right should elicit in us an aspiration of attainment, not the expectation of a hand-out.

The Washington Redskins entered the 2012 draft with two major priorities: finding a franchise quarterback, and upgrading the offensive line depth.
The Redskins used the second overall pick of the draft on Robert Griffin III, who went on to win rookie of the year honors. His struggles this season in his return from a second knee reconstruction have been well documented, but he still appears to possess the potential to become a quality NFL quarterback.

Facebook profile leads to arrest of Salem assault suspect
He pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault, criminal threatening, driving after revocation and six other charges.
Police said a suspect driving a white Mustang Shelby GT500 fled from the hotel before police arrived.
He got up and she followed him into the bathroom to calm him down. The boyfriend responded by punching the woman squarely in the face, choking her and shouting "I will kill you," Massahos said in the affidavit.
The woman went back to the police station and showed them her boyfriend's Facebook profile under the name of "Jerry Noone," the affidavit says. That supplied police with pictures of Fraize and his white Mustang.

foyer - schoolhouse lights
We are building a new / old house and having trouble deciding the lighting in the foyer area. The foyer is 9' high x 6' wide, about 16' long. We were planning on using three semi flush schoolhouse lights. They will hang down about 1'. Will this make the ceiling to busy? Anyone else have a similar foyer? Any advice is appreciated.
Here is a link that might be useful: Schoolhouse light
I love schoolhouse lights and have them in my kitchen and the powder room off the kitchen. I'm not sure about hanging 3 lights though. I know the hallway is 16' long but usually a hallway has one light on the ceiling, centered. Are you going to have a narrow table anywhere in the foyer? You could put a lamp on it for more light or sconces.
Anyway that's just my opinion... not written in stone. ;-)
I don't think you'll need 3 lights in a 15 foot hallway. We had 3 lights in a 30 foot hallway before we got recessed can lights. Our cans are about 5-6 feet apart (same as yours would be in a 15 foot hallway) and it works great for recessed lights but would be too much with dropped fixtures. I think 2 would be fine. IMHO! good luck!

How Many Have Tried The New Bosch Dishwashers
It's been a while since Bosch introduced their new lines of 3-shelf dishwashers made in the USA. Now I wonder how many at this forum have tried one and what their experiences were. I am talking about models like the SHX68T55UC.
BK - you're so full of hooey one gets the impression you are a Whirlpool troll.
Bosch DWs are fine and their quality control is way better than average. Miele is better, but costs a little but more generally.
Generally, problems arise from two areas: improper install, or user error. Neither of which are the factory's fault.
We put a new generation modle in a kitchen last month and I don't think most people could tell a difference. Best I tell, most of the changes have to do with the manufacturing process, packaging and install ease. They still have that Bosch look, feel, and control features.
I just purchased a Bosch Ascenta about 6 weeks ago. It's not a 3 shelf model, but thought you might like to hear my experience with what I did buy.
I had a Bosch previously in another home and appreciated how well it worked and how quiet it was, so when I needed a DW in my current home, I didn't hesitate to purchase another Bosch. (I also am very conscious about where items are made and take that into consideration.)
I must say, this new Bosch is VERY quiet (as they all are), but I am still not sure I am as impressed with its cleaning results. It is pretty bare bones, no fancy settings, only choice between: AutoWash, NormalWash and Heavy Wash I believe and Sanitize (whatever that does). I only used it maybe 8-10 times, but find there is usually a few pieces I have to either wash by hand or put in for another round. I am still experimenting with what wash cycle to use. (I was a bit surprised because I remember being 100% pleased with the cleaning results of my previous Bosch, purchased about 14 years ago).
My other comment would be about the racks: not sure what it is, but it seems to be difficult to get the dishes to stand properly...it feels a bit small or the tines feel too close together--again I am still getting used to it, so maybe I will figure it out. You might want to make sure the configuration is going to work for you in that model you are considering. The bottom rack also feels a bit wobbly and comes completely out of the dishwasher--don't remember that happening with my last Bosch. When you guide it back in, it likes to slam against the back of the washer.
I wanted a white dishwasher and found it extremely weird that i had to "SPECIAL" order it to get white. Times have changed. My last Bosch was Stainless and had to be "special" ordered at that time.
Hope this helps.
I have the SHV7ER53UC/50 - the 800 Plus model that is now is the SHV7PT53UC with the 3rd rack. I love the 3rd rack, it really increases the space in the lower rack and the silverware come out nice and clean. Overall, the dishwasher cleans well and is super quiet and holds a lot of dishes. I agree the tines seem rather close together, not really a problem but just something to get used to. I'm glad I read the manual: the default setting was to not add the rinse aid, but I was able to change it through a rather complicated and non-intuitive process. I could also change the final rinse temperature so that the dishes dry better.
Consumer Reports says every dishwasher cleans well as long as they are installed properly - the difference between them are the features. In our previous home, we had a GE Profile and a Whirlpool. Both cleaned well, but the Bosch holds more and is so quiet, most of the time you don't know its running except for the red light that shines on the floor.

All updates featuring Custom SteelBound Wrist Cuffs
An email from a cute 19-year old UK girl grabbed my attention. Vina wanted to come over to spend a weekend in chastity. If you are following ChastityBabes.com, you know how that turned out! It was amazing! Little Vina is a pure submissive: tiny, innocent, shy, and she LOVES bondage! When we were adjusting the chastity belt, she just kept saying 'tighter, tighter, tighter!'. She really wanted it super tight, no cheating! I also locked her into a chastity bra, and a huge heavy collar. Let's see what this girl can do! Without any further instructions, Vina encountered the slave post in my studio. Would she lock her collar to the post like a good girl?
The incredible Honeyhair returns! This famous fetish model has a certain doll-like look, which makes us want to put her in a really immobilizing postion, like a doll would be packaged! We have done frames before to lock a model's wrists and ankles in place, but what about the neck? We found the perfect solution by using our custom built stocks to rigidly restrain the gorgeous Honeyhair in place. She couldn't move an inch! She started to protest a little so we had to gag her. This is a statue everyone would like to have at home! Especially if the keys to her chastity belt are included!
Aah the cage with the built-in collar! A fan favorite and one that we didn't feature for a long time. Let's get one of our pet slaves to lock herself in the cage again! With her bright blue eyes and massive boobs, Leyla Gold is a perfect play thing (well, she would be if she wasn't locked in a chastity belt for her own protection). Submissive and sultry, Leyla manoeuvres herself into the small cages, locking the door with a padlock. She then locks herself into the built-in collar, leaving her completely helpless. To make sure, we even lock her wrists to the corners of her cage, so she will have to stay on her knees, boobs dangling, big blue eyes pleading… Nice!
See, here at MetalBondage.com we don't care where you are from or who you are! We just want to lock you in tight metal bondage (and preferably a chastity belt). Even famous UK page 3 girl Emma Green gets the same treatment as anyone else. She is locked to a frame, to give her a great posture, in a chastity belt, and heavy restraints. But with her big natural boobs out like this, we couldn't resist nipple clamping her. With clover clamps of course, the worst possible kind. Emma tries to pull them off, but that doesn't work with these clamps. Watch the video to see how tight these clamps were on her nipples, she was sweating!
300 updates! We made it! Thanks to your loving support, we have locked hot girls in cold steel for almost 6 years now! To celebrate, we wanted to revisit the most popular update of the last months: Hannah Claydon Boob Cuffed. That wasn't so easy, because TV glamour star Hannah was a little shocked at having her boobs cuffed last time. She said she would never do this again. But we really wanted another boob cuff update, so we managed to convince her once again to come over. This time in a standing frame (like requested), with her boobs chained with heavy chains overhead, and her wrists cuffed behind. One slip in those high heels and she would be dangling by her boobs!
Natalia Forrest is such a drama queen! She is one of our favorite models to chain up, because she just loves to complain about her predicaments! Most of the time, when she visits us, she is locked into her tight chastity belt, so she can not touch herself. This makes Natalia even more frustrated, which is always great to watch! Today, we lock her into a very extreme pose, the dreaded strappado! Maybe we have hoisted her arms a bit too high, but you never know with Natalia, she would complain anyway. She can't take off her heels though, that would really hurt her shoulders too much. Nice predicament complaining!!
It is so much fun to lock Yvette Costeau in metal bondage!! She is one of the toughest girls out there, and she will definitely give everything in her struggles to get free. So it is necessary to restrain her really really tight in the heaviest metal gear we have! Yvette is nude and corsetted with a heavy waist belt locked over her corset. Her wrists are padlocked to the sides of the belt and her elbows are locked in super tight steel! There is no way she can escape, so we throw her the keys to make her even more frustrated! Watch her mad struggle and cursing (in German)!! Yvette is so much fun to restrain!!
Elise Graves returns! She is such a tough girl, perhaps the toughest of all!! She can do anything, any extreme pose, and she really WANTS TO stretch her limits! There was only one position I could think of that is a challenge for Elise! She has done reverse prayers before, but never in unforgiving metal! I started warming up her shoulder muscles by cuffing her elbows together in heavy steel. The extreme Giraffe Collar made sure I got her attention. Then I proceeded to lock her into the reverse prayer position, with a heavy chain and padlocks to make sure she couldn't move an inch! A bit gag completed this awesome challenge, now let's see her struggle!!
Containing the super fit Sarah Jain is not easy! This toned US model is one of the most powerful strugglers around! Funny though, how it is very easy to get Sarah Jain into a bondage contraption. Just lock some heavy restraints onto her, show her the frame, all in good fun… Then lock her neck and waist to the frame… still fun… Then padlock her arms in an awkward position and chain her legs to the frame… not funny anymore! Sarah can not hold the weight of the tilting frame with her neck and waist alone, so she is forced to bend over the middle bar. Struggling with all her might, she tries to lift the heavy contraption back upright, but she is fighting a losing battle! Nice :)
People ask me: 'why does Tegan get the harsh treatment on your website?'. True, she has been in the extreme Posture Fiddle, chained with heavy shackles, and nipple clamped. Plus she never got her first shoot without a chastity belt. It's because she is just so much into bondage! This cute blonde angel is a true sub and she likes hard bondage!
This time, a belted and collared Tegan encounters a strange pole with two heavy chains hanging off it. She wonders what might be in store for her this time! I tell her to put the ankle cuffs on and lie down with the pole between her legs. She is then hogcuffed to the pole, and there's no way she can get out! Her awesome boobs are hanging over the edge of the platform, and she starts begging and sobbing after a few minutes already. Don't fall for it, she loves this stuff! My gorgeous bondage angel Tegan! Can't get enough of her!
As I had the amazing Hannah Claydon in a chastity belt and collar for 24 hours anyway, why not play with her a little bit!? I mean, what's the harm? Unlike most models, Hannah actually has 8 attachment points instead of 6. Yes, work that one out in your head… ;-)
A pair of neck cuffs are such a perfect fit for Hannah's boobs, it just has to be seen to be believed! Yes, she is really cuffed to an overhead frame by her boobs! I restrained her wrists to spread her arms out, and a chain across her lap, to prevent her from standing up. But all this wasn't really necessary, as I found out later in the shoot. Even with all other restraints removed, Hannah could still not escape from the frame. Cuffed only by her boobs, she was completely stuck until someone with a handcuff key would help her. Watch her get frustrated by the idea that her boobs can keep her from going anywhere!
Yvette Costeau likes to call herself 'Yvette Extreme'. Well, let's test her a little to see if she can live up to this title! One of the toughest bondage girls in German, Yvette is used to being contorted in all kinds of rope bondage positions. But metal is different. It is unforgiving, and heavy. We built our favorite hogtie frame again and chained Yvette to it. Ankles, wrists, elbows, and her head. The heavy collar is a real challenge, because it is a bit too tall and heavy for her head to be tilted back by the suspended harness gag. This is the perfect storage device for 'extreme girls'. Let her struggle and drool (a lot!!) for a while. She will get tired eventually.
Aw, it is Mea's first time in bondage! And fair is fair: the rule is that models don't HAVE to wear a chastity belt on their first time. So instead, we just locked over 10 kilos of stainless steel onto poor Mea. She couldn't even sit up for very long. The weight was wearing her out so much that she had to lie down after only half an hour. Perfect slave training, a little endurance bondage! Mea got a bit frustrated, but she desperately needs money. So she will be back, and you know what is going to happen then!! ;)
Lady Roswell Ivory is so composed and graceful! That's why it is such fun to lock her into a chastity belt, naked, and padlock a very heavy collar on her neck. Not at all lady-like, although she still will try to pose in a dignified way. Let's see if we can make her a little more submissive and worried… Some members have suggested we should try this locking breast press. We didn't build it, we bought it, and that was probably a mistake. It doesn't work really well, as the arch of the metal press plates is too big. But it is locking in the back, and it does work well enough to make Lady Roswell a little concerned about turning those wingnuts more and more… We will have to build one of these ourselves!!
Heavy breathing in heavy metal gear. Poor Birdy Dee has lots and lots of unforgiving metal locked onto her. It is a predicament in itself, as time goes by she is struggling more and more against the weight of her restraints. The heavy chastity belt is cinching her waist super tight, and her wrists cuffs are locked to the sides of the waist belt. She can not lie down, because the Sleepless Collar prevents her head from touching the floor. She can not stand up, because her ankles are padlocked together. Birdy is getting so out of breath, we finally decide to give her the keys to the wrist padlocks. Even more evil, because after a long struggle to unlock herself, she still can not get any rest with the belt and collar still locked on! Birdy was totally spent after this ordeal, she is such a tough girl!
For years, we have been hearing rumours about a way to restrain a girl using only 1 steel bar!! So we finally decided to build this device, to see if it is true that a girl can not escape this diabolical contraption. We needed a large metal dildo on an adjustable pole, and a girl in high heels. Natalia Forrest happened to be hanging around our studio, so we grabbed her to test this new device. She didn't believe that it would hold her in place, and neither did we. But amazingly, Natalia was unable to escape from the One Bar Prison! She couldn't get off it. Wearing high heels meant that she was already on her toes, and the dildo was in too deep. Her hands were cuffed behind her back to prevent her from reaching the pole's adjuster. We left a camera running and sneaked into the other room. Her reaction was priceless! It is true! One bar can hold a girl!
When Chessie Kay applied to be in metal bondage, we just knew we had to invent something for those incredible huge round boobs of hers! This is the first prototype of the Boob Bands! These flexible padded bands are custom made for Chessie, and they are very tight! They lock onto her boobs using a clasp and padlock system. The video will show you how they are applied. A chain runs behind her back to make sure the bands are pulled tight. Boobs aren't straight, so the bands taper a little bit to fit snugly. Chessie was so amazed by having her boobs locked up, she even forgot about the chastity belt she had to wear. Cuffing her wrists behind her back turns her into a perfect little boob bound slave girl!
We trained Amanda to do everything you see in this update, and she loves to play our little metal bondage puppy! Her huge steel collar is locked on with a pin and padlock, and her chastity belt never comes off (of course), but we taught her how to put on her own wrist and ankle restraints! These heavy restraints have a unique push pin locking system, meaning you can lock them on, but they can not come off without using a tool. Amanda is a perfect pet, great boobs and flexible legs! She has a bit of naughty humor, but she listens very well! She knows how to lock herself into the small dog cage, and will patiently wait to be let out again. Good girl!

The corn report sent corn prices into a tail spin, losing nearly $1 in the three days that followed Thursday, March 28. Conversely, feeder cattle were up the limit, $3, that Thursday and have been quite strong since, which suggests that the low for feeder cattle may have arrived.

Ready-mix concrete is concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted in–transit mixers. This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. The first ready-mix factory was built in the 1930s, but the industry did not begin to expand significantly until the 1980s, and it has continued to grow since then.
Ready-mix concrete is sometimes preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion. However, using a pre-determined concrete mixture reduces flexibility, both in the supply chain and in the actual components of the concrete.
Ready-mix concrete is also referred as the customized concrete products for commercial purpose. Ready-mix concrete, or RMC as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer's construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone. In traditional work sites, each of these materials is procured separately and mixed in specified proportions at site to make concrete. Read-mix concrete is bought and sold by volume - usually expressed in cubic meters (cubic yards in the US).
Ready-mix concrete is manufactured under controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods. In 2011, there were 2,223 companies employing 72,924 workers that produced RMC in the United States.[1]
As an alternative to ready-mix concrete, volumetric mobile mixers may be used to provide metered concrete services. The volumetric mobile mixer is a truck that contains concrete ingredient materials and water to be mixed on the truck at the job site to make and deliver concrete according to the amount needed. The on-truck mixing at the job site eliminates the problems of ready-mix concrete such as delays that can cause the pre-mixed concrete to become unusable. This is a hybrid approach between ready-mix concrete and traditional on-site mixing.[3]

With typhoon Hagupit about to make landfall in the Philippines it is a good time to reflect on the importance of both disaster preparedness and response planning. Natural climactic events become humanitarian disasters when they exceed the capacity of a community to cope. With poor disaster preparation and planning a relatively minor natural event can become a calamity, conversely, with […]Read more →
Super typhoon Hagupit (locally Ruby) is now in the Philippines area of responsibility and is due to make landfall in the north of Eastern Samar on Saturday evening local time.

Please tell me about weeping alaskan cedar -cupressus nootkaensis
I am planning to plant 7 of these in my front yard as the major focal point. I have plenty of sun, space, good soil. Also have cold winters and occasional nasty winter windstorms and deer.
Everything I read says they're wonderful, but am wondering about people's real experiences with them.
Are they truly deer resistant? Here deer eat my silver fir but do not touch any spruce.
There is one in town that is absolutely gorgeous, but it's also in a sheltered location.
If there are any major problems I'm unaware of with these trees, I'd love to find out BEFORE I start this project.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
The weather shouldn't be any problem. Deer, impossible to say, as they have different tastes in different places. You'll need to ask them.
The other important point to remember, they're fairly slow-growing.
PS spellcheck: Nootka Cypress Cupressus nootkatensis (not a cedar Cedrus!)
Alaskan cedar is one of the most versatile trees--they're native to some of the more extreme conditions in the Cascade Mountains so are pre-adapted for stress. Furthermore, they bring a subalpine touch to wherever they're planted.
Unfortunately, because they do so well, they've been way overplanted in eastern WA--it wouldn't hurt if our neighbors would go for just a few more ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir.

Windows 7 Under Fire For Patent Infringement 241
from the i'm-so-torn dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I never noticed this flaw in US legal system before: one of these litigants has to win. If only *both* could lose...
There is nothing I hate worse than being forced to root for Microsoft because someone else is even more evil.
Personally, I would consider that a win for Microsoft in this case.
On a side note: I refuse to say anything nice and/or positive about Microsoft in respect to this case. Everytime I have done so around here results in my being modded way down.
Wait...will saying that get me modded down?
I knew the "Windows 7 was My Idea" thing would backfire on them
The sound of 10000 slashdotters heads exploding as they try to figure out who to cheer for.
The patent examers should be replaced by the Apple App Approval Committee, then no patent can easily get approved.
With your bare hands?!?

Mandela Speech
In his final speech as head of the ruling Africa National Congress this week, President Nelson Mandela of South Africa warned the world of an effort by former apartheid rulers to intensify a destabilization campaign against South Africa's new democracy. In the four hour speech delivered before 3,000 delegates at the ANCUs 50th national conference in the northwestern town of Mafikeng, Mandela also accused elements of the white minority of seeking to retain their privileges, saying that when any meaningful changes were attempted, such as the use of affirmative action, whites "consistently demonstrated" their desire to maintain the status quo.
Mandela also said some aid groups were in fact acting as the political ears and mouthpieces for local and foreign interests acting against his government. In particular, Mandela quoted a US Aid for International Development document that he said stated its goals as challenging his government on key issues, "in some respects making President Mandela's task more difficult."
The country's opposition parties were sharply criticized as well. The largely white, liberal Democratic Party, a long-time foe of apartheid that has been gaining in the polls, was along with the National Party, the architects of apartheid, as parties "engaged in a desperate struggle" to convince white voters that they are the most "reliable and best defenders of white privilege."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Workplace like country song
Too much lyin', cheatin' going on
I don't ever recall paying much attention to changes and growth in our English vocabulary, but I was surprised at how quickly new words were created after the Lance Armstrong confession spilled over to the news waves. These new words, doprah, liestrong and livewrong, will stay with us for some time and will continue to be a symbol of the deep corruption seemingly found in the area of cycling sports.
While the Armstrong story is said to be the biggest lie in sports history, it's by no means the only story of personal or corporate corruption. For instance, many readers will remember the American energy firm, Enron Corp., whose CEO along with his executive team engaged in corporate fraud and corruption resulting in bankruptcy and the loss of 20,000 jobs.
Not only that, but the corruption stretched over to the accounting firm of Arthur Anderson, which at the time was considered one of the "big five" auditing, tax and consulting firms. The firm surrendered its licence to practice and voluntarily dissolved, leaving more employees out on the street.
At the time in 2001, Enron quickly became the poster child for corporate fraud and it also led to investigations into the accounting practices of audit firms. This in turn led to American legislation that created new standards for public company accounting and investor protection. At the same time, while it takes years to bring things to court, many of the executives involved in the Enron and other corporate scandals over the past few years are spending many of their remaining years in jail.
Yet, that's not the point. The point is that many people in business and sport continue to lie and cheat to get ahead. And a second point is that society is not going to stand for it anymore.
Government, too, has been aggressively pursuing strategies such as new legislation to prevent corporate fraud and corruption. New legislation was recently created to protect individuals known as whistleblowers who expose corporate corruption. As well, business schools across the country and corporations themselves are engaging in ethics training for staff.
Human-resource professionals on the other hand have been busy helping their employers develop a code of ethics, an organization structure to support ethical workplaces as well as policies, procedures and confidential complaint procedures that encourage employee reporting.
Initially, steps toward erasing corruption from our workplaces took a punitive and directive approach while today, organizations see additional benefits in creating an ethical work environment. The following specific benefits of creating an ethical workplace are outlined below:
Positive public image -- as seen by recent events, it takes years to build a strong positive public image but it only takes minutes for it to be destroyed. Organizations that pay attention to their image, build a positive reputation and ensure corporate consistency build consumer trust.
Effective recruitment and retention -- employees are attracted to organizations where they'll be treated with respect and know their contributions will be valued. And believe me; it doesn't take long for a poor corporate reputation to become well known. A comprehensive ethics management strategy assists with employee recruitment and retention.
Employee value alignment -- ethics policies, procedures and employee training programs help to align employee and corporate values. This in turn helps to build strong teams, facilitates open communication and motivates employees toward high performance. Employees know what the corporation stands for and can guide their behaviour accordingly.
Legal compliance -- a focus on ethics, especially through policies and practices helps an organization to ensure compliance with local legislation and reduces legal liability. Creating comprehensive human resource policies as a preventative measure is more cost effective than fighting lawsuits at a later date.
Ethical employee treatment -- with Canada becoming such a diverse nation, corporations and organizations alike must pay attention to fair, equitable and ethical treatment of all their employees. For instance, ethics policies have led to improved treatment of employees with illness and disabilities, pregnant women and individuals from different cultures and languages.
Ethics equals quality management -- most corporations are concerned about quality management and will find that ethics programs are strongly aligned with the drive for quality. Ethics management creates consistency, sets standards for quality service and employee behaviour and assists employees to take individual responsibility for their actions.
Ethics drives management decisions -- there are always different pressures in organizations that impact on decision making. Ethics policies and practices help managers make those decisions in a fair, objective, transparent and ethical way. Ethical decision making creates trust as conflicting options are systematically dealt with and mixed messages are avoided.
Ethics structure -- putting ethics policy and practices in place requires an assignment to an ethics officer and/or a human-resource officer to whom individuals can turn to when needed. There are plenty of so-called grey areas with respect to ethics and conflict of interest and employees need to have someone to consult for advice. This strategy and structure invites individuals to discuss their issues and to prevent breeches of ethics before they happen.
Lance Armstrong, once the champion of his cycling sport, is now quickly becoming known as a champion cheat just as Ken Lay, the CEO of Enron, became symbolic of corporate corruption. Unfortunately, these public labels will live on forever. While individuals will continue to make their own choices regarding lying, cheating and corruption, establishing corporate ethical standards and aggressively enforcing them will go a long way to curb this type of behaviour.
Don't wait until corruption is exposed in your organization; take preventative action by creating your corporate ethics policies and procedures.

American Closes KC Base
By Associated Press
Kansas City, MO – American Airlines will close KC base
DALLAS (AP) American Airlines says it will close a Kansas City, Mo., maintenance base next September because reduced flying means less need for such facilities.
The company told employees about the move in a letter Wednesday.
Maintenance senior vice president Carmine J. Romano says the closure is "a difficult but important step" to reduce the airline's maintenance program as it cuts back on flights.
American also has major maintenance bases in Tulsa, Okla., and Fort Worth, Texas. It has considered closing a base for several years, but held off after expanding its business of working on other airlines' planes.

Cisco Exits the Consumer Market, Sells Linksys To Belkin 284
from the circle-of-business-life dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The Linksys stuff took a nose dive in both reliability and software quality under Cisco's steerage. Belkin does better for some things though they are spotty on others. They are a very large player and I hope they unfuck what cisco's been fucking up.
Indeed. Belkin has been on my "do not buy" list ever since the spam router [theregister.co.uk] fiasco. Then again, I guess it's fitting, after Linksys' Cloud Connect WTF.
On the other hand, anything that won't run DD-WRT, Tomato, or OpenWRT is on my "do not buy" list anyway...
Linksys hardware under Cisco was pretty good. The firmware is what really bombed. I'll still take a Linksys any day so long as I can put DD-WRT or similar on it.
There's Buffalo. Buffalo is pretty good, and some of their routers come with a variant of WRT already installed.
Actually, I have found Netgear to be consistently better than Linksys/Cisco routers for a long long time. Two linksys I owned would hang and reboo often in the 802.11g days.
Moved to a netgear 802.11n router and has been great.
I have a 3400 sqft house with a single Asus router running the whole deal.
I also went through 2 WRT54G's in as many years. I find both stories believeable, but of the people I know, no one is actually still using their WRT54G for anything other than one guy is using it for a small wired subnet. The wireless generally loses range on them as they get older for some inexplicable reason.
You were very confused, Linksys was a tiny gnat compared to Cisco when Cisco did the acquisition, Linksys cost Cisco $500M which was less than half of their net income for the quarter in which the deal closed. Hell, two years later they swallowed Scientific Atlantic which cost $6.9B.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. -- R. A. Heinlein

Heisman Watch: Give it to the old man
Bowl Championship Series
Updated: November 19, 2000, 2:21 AM ETBy Mike Diegnan | BCSfootball.com
Two of the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy returned to school this season in order to help their teams win championships. Chris Weinke came back to Florida State because he wanted to help the Seminoles repeat as national champions. Drew Brees stayed at Purdue one more season to help the Boilermakers win the Big Ten and head to the Rose Bowl. Both have accomplished their goals.
The third front-runner, Josh Heupel, wasn't much of a contender before this season.

You promised me clivia and then said it either rotted or your dog ate it, so you cannot send it? If you are going to promise trades you should follow through, and not wait 6 weeks after you receive your plants, to say you were unhappy with what I sent to you. Just send my gingers back if you can't send the clivia you promised.

That sounds good. Thank you all for your advice. What is a good oil for gun coating?
Good oil to use.......lots of debate on a good oil.....personally I just use a light weight synthetic motor oil on my gun metal most of time, such as Mobil 1 for example.
That I've got in the garage already, so no added expense which is good. I'd gathered from other forums there was a lot of discussion on good oil. Thanks again for all your help.

A man's hilarious ordeal getting an owl out of his home is going viral on YouTube.
After 40 minutes of freaking out, Colton Wright wrote online that he decided to grab his Swiffer to use as a perch to lower the owl out of the window.
Amazingly, the owl grabs on to the mop and doesn't budge as Wright lowers him slowly, but the bird's piercing stare didn't offer him any relief.
"Oh please, don't give me that look," Wright says in the video. "Oh God, he's going to fly. Oh God, he's going to fly."
Wright manages to get the owl out the window and releases him into the night, dubbing himself, "The Owl Whisperer."
