Miele Gas Cooktop?
Does anyone have experience with the Miele gas cooktop? We are looking at the 36". According to the local appliance store, they are the only one which still designs their cooktops so that you can light them with a match (power failures are a way of life here...)
So...I am *hoping* for favorable reviews of the miele...or for somebody to tell me the salesman lied about my other options! Contractor needs to know by Tuesday which cooktop is going in so he can work on the venting.
AFAIK all gas cooktops can be lit with match.
Most new gas ovens can not be lit with match as they don't have pilots.
Miele does not offer anything special with regards to gas appliances.
Miele is very good with electric appliances and extremely good making appliances that use electricity and water.
BlueStar RBCT365BSS is the best 36" gas cooktop.
It is about $150 more than the Miele.

Talk:Cramming (fraud)

Reference to Verizon[edit]
Sounds like an ad for Verizon.
It is not an ad. Verizon is just mentioned as an example. It is acceptable to mention companies where appropriate in Wikipedia articles. Hellno2 (talk) 22:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
I disagree, the article does read like an ad for Verizon. It's un-encyclopedic language; it would sound better if it were written something like this: "Some phone companies can put a cram block on the customer's account." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 17:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
The statement "Phone companies like Verizon respond by removing cramming charges from a consumer's bill upon request" is false in my experience of two cramming incidents on a Verizon bill. Verizon refused to remove any charges, only referring me to the third party crammer (ILD Teleservices). Nor did Verizon volunteer the information that a block could be placed on cramming charges. This article is fishy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
My experience has been similar. Verizon doesn't actually do the things mentioned in this article. The smell is pretty bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 07:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Overtime Claim Padding[edit]
Does the practice of adding or extending work overtime claims come under the banner of Cramming? The practice involves submitted time sheets or claim sheets for overtime worked where the work never occurred or where the work was less than the overtime being claimed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 01:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Claim of cramming by AT&T Mobility[edit]
According to this page's own definition, AT&T is committing fraud. This would be a major legal problem.
The act of adding a smartphone data plan when one is not on the account when a SIM is inserted into a smartphone is described in AT&T's wireless terms and conditions found here, specifically, this point. I feel this should be removed. DennisM83 (talk) 06:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- I was under the impression that the contract laws of the several states and federal laws regulating interstate commerce required certain terms to be made conspicuous. Are those terms made conspicuous enough when the user signs up for service through an AT&T representative? And if it's not cramming, what's the legal term for practices of the sort described under "this point"? --Damian Yerrick (talk) 05:40, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Bardoxolone methyl did not reduce the risk for end-stage renal disease or death from cardiovascular causes in patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, according to data.
However, due to the increased rate of CV events with bardoxolone methyl, the BEACON trial was halted, according to Dick de Zeeuw, MD, PhD, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and colleagues.
The researchers randomly assigned 2,185 patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 4 CKD to 20 mg daily of bardoxolone methyl — an oral synthetic triterpenoid — or placebo.
Follow-up data indicated that 69 of 1,088 patients (6%) who were randomly assigned to bardoxolone methyl and 69 of 1,097 (6%) patients who were randomly assigned to placebo displayed the primary composite outcome (HR=0.98; 95% CI, 0.7-1.37).
Forty-three patients developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the bardoxolone methyl group, and 27 patients died of CV causes, researchers wrote. Moreover, 51 patients in the placebo group developed ESRD and 19 patients died of CV causes.
The researchers also reported that 96 patients in the bardoxolone methyl group were hospitalized for heart failure or died of heart failure vs. 55 patients in the placebo group (HR=1.83; 95% CI, 1.32-2.55).
"Although patients treated with bardoxolone methyl had a significant increase in the estimated GFR, as compared with those who received placebo, there was a significantly higher incidence of heart failure and of the composite outcome of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, hospitalization for [heart failure], or death from cardiovascular causes in the bardoxolone methyl group," researchers wrote. "There were numerically more deaths from any cause among patients treated with bardoxolone methyl than among those in the placebo group."
Disclosure: de Zeeuw reports financial relationships with AbbVie, Astellas, Chemocentryx, Johnson & Johnson and Reata.

Product description
The mummy portraits of Roman Egypt are haunting images of ancient faces: anonymous people painted by anonymous artists. And yet, they are historical and cultural documents of outstanding interest and importance, and many are of superb artistic quality. This type of portrait appeared in Egypt in the first century AD, and remained popular for around 200 years. Though the subjects believed in the traditional Egyptian cults, which offered them a firm prospect of life after death, they also wished to be commemorated in the Roman manner. Portraits were commissioned that would serve as a realistic record of the deceased as he or she had appeared in life.These were painted on a wooden board at a roughly lifelike scale, which was then placed on the outside of the cartonnage coffin over the head of the individual or carefully placed into the mummy wrappings. The images also reveal the adoption of Roman fashions in dress and personal adornment by persons remote from the centre of the empire but likely to have been actively engaged in its local administration. By careful assessment of the hairstyles, clothes and jewelery, it is possible to date the portraits, often within a decade or so. Many of the finest and best-known examples come from the Fayum and are a dazzling testament to the Greek painting tradition, in particular the sophistication of the Alexandrian school, from which they are derived.It is not until some fifteen centuries later, in the faces painted by Titian or Rembrandts depiction of his own features as he saw them reflected in a mirror, that the same artistry that characterizes many of the anonymous painters of the Fayum is witnessed again.

FreeBSD Running On PS3 127
from the what-took-so-long 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).
Our company was setting up a small cluster of PS3's but the whole project died when Sony locked down the firmware. This should breath new life into the effort.
I was secretly hoping they'd give the "useless" PS3's to the employees though. Sigh.
We do a lot of High Performance computing where I work. I currently run a 1472 core ROCKS cluster and the price/core of a PS3 cluster is pretty good compared with an HP blade.
Because of management issues, I can't see running a huge cluster of PS3's, but it's an angle we're pursuing to see how well it works. Tesla-based clusters are also something being considered, but they type of work you can do on them is a bit more limited than a general purpose cluster based on conventional blades.

Henry Bacon's white granite Union Square Savings Bank, erected 1905-07, with its Corinthian temple facade, echoes the academic classicism he made more famous with the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
The Institution for the Savings of Merchant's Clerks, established in 1848, was renamed the Union Square Savings Bank in 1904 and remained an independent institution until 1968, when it merged with another bank. The building is now used as a theater.
The Union Square Savings Bank was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1996.

Need BM warm gray ASAP, painting tomorrow!
mkiv808November 10, 2011
My painters did my living room today and I'm not a fan of the color. Bad choice on my part. It was BM Smoke Embers. Too cool/bluish, especially against some neighboring linen white walls. My space opens into the kitchen, which has dark cherry cabinets. Too blue of a contrast.
I need a warmer grey that isn't darker or lighter. It's just dark enough, it's just too cool.
I'm thinking Himalayan Trek, La Paloma Gray and Cumulus Cloud? Does Cumulus have some green in it, or is it just me?
Definitely want just that very slight hint of beige and some warmness so it blends with the dark cherry and linen white neighboring walls.
A "greige" you might want to look at is Early Morning Mist.

Wassup! It's come to my attention that 3v3 players do not receive any help from youtube guides which are all focused on 5v5 meta. With this, I've started a youtube channel (initially to create 5v5 videos) to help 3v3 players. I've been playing 3v3 for around 2 years now and I'd like to say that it took close to 1 year to find out the meta , AP AD JUNGLE. With all my knowledge, I'd like to help the newer players with the 3v3 map. Below is my youtube channel and make sure to subscribe!
EnGame Bo is probably the best 3v3 player, better than cL Legend ^___^
Thanks! School is starting and I've just moved into my dorm, so please wait 1-2 weeks for the next video.

I think the USB cable should have been supplied that is the only reason I didn't give this product a 5 star.
Reached out to Freeplay customer service (they are out of the UK, so you have even less influence) and they were no help - return it to where you bought it.
Even after a full charge from an external USB source and additional hand-cranking, the LED just flickered on then quit.

Happy MLK Day! When you have an extra 20 minutes, or so… you should really check this out.
My Obsession with the Tiny House Movement
Have you guys heard of The Tiny House Movement?
"Simply put it is a social movement where people are downsizing the space that they live in. The typical American home is around 2600 square feet, while the typical small or tiny house is around 100-400 square feet. Tiny Houses come in all shapes, sizes and forms but they focus on smaller spaces and simplified living." – The Tiny House Life
I am totally obsessed.
Not sure if I could ever live in one, with both the hubs and the kid. But, if it was just me? I'd totally go for it.
There's just something so minimalist and simplistic about it all.
A simplicity I crave.
With all the crap we collect, how awesome would it be to just chuck almost all of it and live small?
Even if it doesn't interest you, like it does me, you should totally check it out. It's so fascinating.
A couple of my favorite sites to visit are RowdyKittens and The Tiny House Family.
Happy New Year, friends!
Merry, merry Christmas!
The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Today is my 37th birthday. To honor this momentous occasion, I decided to give myself a gift.
What kind of gift you ask? A swift kick in the butt, with a side of reality check.
For too long, I've been crawling through life unhealthy – both physically and mentally. I woke up today with a renewed spirit. You know the phrase, "Sick and tired of being sick and tired?" That's where I'm at right now.
I'm committing to myself, that I'm going to take better care of me from the inside out.
My #1 goal is to take care of myself so I can be at the top of my game for, well, life. And I believe simplifying my life is the best way to go. That means I'm cutting back on things that take time away from what I value most – these two:
I'll still be hanging out here, and in my usual online spots just not as much. I'll just be out enjoying life more and writing/posting about it less. I don't want to miss out on something important because I'm trying to figure out a way to capture it all in 140 characters or less.

I just harvested 75 heads of gorgeous hard neck garlic. I have it hanging in a dark spot in my garage to cure. I usually just keep it in the basement and use it throughout the year (and for seed, of course). Does anyone preserve their garlic in any other way I should consider?
Check out this article on the various ways of preserving it. We freeze and dehydrate most of outs.
Here is a link that might be useful: Safe Methods for Preserving Garlic
I grow two rocambole varieties that are not long-keepers, so if I haven't used it all up while in its prime, I roast it and freeze it. Frozen roasted garlic keeps very well, so that's another way to preserve it.
Homemade garlic powder is fabulous, too. I love the smell of garlic, but I do grind it into powder out on the deck. Depending on the variety, it can be some potent stuff. No vampires here :-)
my garlic has a wire worm problem. even a month after storing i can find soft spots, which means a wormy clove. i separate the cloves, peel wash and slice the good ones, and freeze in olive oil in half-pint jars. and i really squish the garlic to get as much under oil as i can. i keep a jar in the fridge to use up within a few weeks. just plop a spoonful into the frying pan. i have saved dozens of bulbs this way. and california ranch o.o. has a best by date on the label, so i know it will be good for more than a year. does anyone have info on whether freezing cuts down the shelf life of olive oil ?
by the way malna, my german red rocambole (sans worms) will last 9-10 months in the basement, as long as some soft necks. i keep it near the floor and very dark .
on the deck....does that mean it gets sun ? our local garlic guru says to dry in the shade. this year, on the last dozen i dug, i peeled off the outer layer so i could inspect the clean bulbs for those tiny brown spots that indicate a worm has drilled a new home....
I pickle them in straight vinegar. The older it gets , the better it is. No BWB or anything it can last for over 5 years. But then it is used as pickle not for cooking. For cooking , you can dice them and preserve them also by pressure canner.

Product Information
- Wee Sing & Learn ABC from iStoryTime
- Rated 4+
- Available on: iOS
- Available April 14, 2014
What It Is
Wee Sing & Learn ABC is an iOS app that combines music, animated animals, musical instruments from all over the world, and read-along text to introduce young children to the ABCs.
The story portion of the app has 26 pages, one for each letter of the alphabet, and each page includes an animal and a musical instrument that starts with the letter. Choose Read to Me mode to hear a narrator read and sing a song for the animal on the screen. Kids will also hear that animal's sound and the sound of the instrument the animal is playing. Press one of the three additional buttons on the screen to hear more words that start with the letter. Read By Myself mode turns off the narration, or you can also choose Auto Play, which includes narration, but you won't have to manually turn each page.
Additional activities include ABC Song, where kids follow the letters of the alphabet through narration and music. Kids can also tap the letters in time with the music in Play Along. In Explore ABC, tap a letter to hear its name. In Explore Animals, choose any one of the 26 animals to hear its sound, the sound of the musical instrument, and the sentence that accompanies the animal in the story.
Is It Fun?
This app is a fun and interactive way to introduce young children to the letters of the alphabet and encourage some early reading skill development. Kids will enjoy singing along as the animals dance and play their musical instruments. We like that there's a guided story but also ways for kids to explore on their own.
Who It's For
Wee Sing & Learn ABC is for children under the age of 5. We think it's more specifically appropriate for kids 1-5. However, there are no security measures to prevent kids from tapping on the home page's information button and accessing the App Store from the online iStoryTime catalog.
What To Be Aware Of
This app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 6.1 or later.
Repeat Play
The animal animations and music will engage young kids who will want to return to the app to sing along while their favorite animal dances and plays music.

Kasich Not Fond Of Pink-Colored Driver's Licenses, Wants Changes | WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio News
Gov. John Kasich said on Tuesday that he is not fond of the pink color found on Ohio driver's licenses. Read more

His manhood is clearly threatened by the color Pink. The red on his neck is showing....

WOW...I guess another big wig has waaaaaay to much time on their hands. WOW!! How very embarassing for Ohio that this is even news worthy.

And yet you (and most others on this board) fell into their game of word play and went and got your panties in a bunch over AN OPINIONATED COMMENT. 10tv would write a report on him breaking wind if they didn't have anything else to report, just to get a rise out of the public. News feeds LOVE 'trigger happy sheeple' like yourself.

If money is SO tight then why all of these changes to petty stuff like the color of drivers license??????????
He is NEVER specific about anything and yet got elected??????????
Not fond of the color of pink but he sure likes GREEN $
#90 May 18, 2011
Ok, so, he turned 59 and had to renew his license, and noticed it was a salmon color. Really? This is news? Get your renewal and pay attention to the real life critical issues of Ohio. What else do you have to do, but complain about a license color?
#91 May 18, 2011
Governor kasich is a wise leader who talks with "The Lord." Good enough for me. If he doesn't like "pink", then I don't either. I really like this Governor!
United States
#92 May 18, 2011
Wouldn't the governors time be better spent solving issues related to our economic state and not worried about what color the drivers license is. Think of the money that will be spent to order new materials just because "he's not fond of pink". I personally like the pink background, not only does it help prevent fraud because it is difficult to duplicate but the colors for breast cancer awareness are pink and since the Komen foundation is such a large part of Columbus, OH we should embrace the pink color.
#93 May 18, 2011
He should worry about the important things!
#94 May 18, 2011
REALLY? That is his sense of humor? Wow! Maybe no one is laughing because there has been nothing to laugh or smile about since he has taken office. No matter what was said or how he said it,"THERE ARE PEOPLE LOSING JOBS IN OHIO". I HAVE COUNTED OVER 4,000 JOBS AT LEAST JUST THIS WEEK! Yes, people have a right to be concerned about his remark when there is so much more to worry about. He should work for them, if he is so concerned.
#95 May 18, 2011
If it were Strickland, he would not have protested the color. Men of his "persuasion" are fond of numerous shades of pink, including Salmon.
Since: Mar 11
#96 May 18, 2011
Doesn't the crazy jac-arse have more to worry about than the color of his DL? hE He more than likely won't even have them out of his wallet again until it is time to renew them again in four years.
I'm sure that he and his partner in crime M.D. could go do some more raids on pill mills. At least that may prove to be a little more constructive. That is unless they choose to raid some one who stepped on their toes while campaigning. Point being we need to do to this set of clowns the same thing we did to the last one.
#97 May 18, 2011
its kinda hard to call a cop an "idiot" while producing a pink drivers license
#98 May 18, 2011
Who cares what co;or they are? Don't u have better things to worry about Kasich? You are killing our state and u want to change the color of driver's licenses..give me a break.
#99 May 18, 2011
Really is that important to the state? This guy is a clown and nothing more.

#100 May 18, 2011
You said it yourself, it was a 'REMARK'; he didn't write and pass a bill to change it, he only stated an opinion (which I've heard many agree with).
10TV/Dispatch runs a new story on him EVERY DAY; if he spends the day with his Grandma, you better believe they'll report it. Chances are, they'll throw in some language to the effect of,'It's possible the Governor may have given his grandmother a fruit cake that might have been bought with your tax money.' Through all the 'maybes','possiblies','mights' , etc. the public will only pick up,'The Governor bought a fruit cake with MY money'. Deflate your puffy chests and focus on the things that are ACTUALLY happening; not on shared opinions and speculations of the media venues.
#101 May 18, 2011
He apparently needs more things to do than worry about what color our licnese are. I wish there was a dislike button for him.., What a mistake we have made.
#102 May 18, 2011
Jeez!!! We are loosing our jobs, our health care, our homes, our teachers, our neighborhoods to crime... & kasich is worried about the color of our license?
Oh my GOD! Please help us? When is his term over? He is dummer than Strickland & I did not think that was possible!
#103 May 18, 2011
Wow Kasich! There are more serious things to worry about.

It is an exceptional sports bike that's blisteringly fast on the road or track. It is bristling with MotoGP technology and compared to the previous motorcycles the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is manic and faster but heavier and arguably less exciting too. Ride Quality & Brakes 5 out of 5 This is the first Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade designed by a team not headed by Tadao Baba, the man behind the original Honda CBR900RR Fireblade. Mass centralization helps the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade handle in a neutral, stable way. Standard suspension settings are too hard for most road bikers but it's fully adjustable so you can tweak it to sort your style. Engine 4 out of 5 Fairly standard for the class 1000cc in-line four may not make headlines but, like the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades competitors has to be tried to be believed – seamless, effortless power thrusts the motorcycle to incredibly high speeds. Chances are you'll run out of bottle before the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade runs out of shove. Honda's (then) best fuel injection is reasonable smooth. Suzuki GSX-R1000 is rawer, the Yamaha YZF-R1 smoother. Build Quality & Reliability 4 out of 5 Generally excellent reliability and the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade build quality is above average. There was a recall on speedo's which were under-reading by 25%. At 2000rpm in second gear the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade should read 18mph. Some motorcycles use oil – Honda say ther Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade only has a problem if consumption exceeds a litre every 800 miles – so keep an eye on the level. Insurance, running costs & value 4 out of 5 Be wary of fancy dealers selling almost new Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades for near new prices – chances are you can buy a brand new parallel import or even a discounted UK motorcycle for the same price or less. The Suzuki GSX-R1000, Yamaha YZF-R1 and Kawasaki ZX-10R are all competitive machines with competitive prices new and used – personal preference and scoring the right deal is more important than the subtle dynamic differences. Find a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade for sale.Insurance group: 17 of 17 – compare motorcycle insurance quotes now. Equipment 4 out of 5 The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is dripping comparatively innovative technology in what can be a conservative class that thrives on small power increases and weight losses. Rotary steering damper on the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade can be altered electronically on the hoof, clocks are very comprehensive it's a shame the under seat storage has been sacrificed due to the exhaust location. The Honda CBR1000RR riding position is quite racy. By MCN Staff Owners' Reviews 9 owners have reviewed their HONDA CBR1000RR FIREBLADE (2004-2005) and rated it in a number of areas. Read what they have to say and what they like and dislike about the bike below. We're currently improving the way this section works, which means we've had to suspend the submission of new owners' reviews for a short period. Please check back soon.

The bike was faultless and did not use a drop of oil,... Read more took her to 150mph on mountain mile and she was a beauty, very safe handling although it needs a double bubble.gets a bit hairy over the mountain at those speeds. The bike did not give me any false neutrals over the four day, 700 miles clocked up and on return took 10 mins to clean,good honda quality. This is my 2nd blade and I have to say I think is the better looking, the 07/08 and so on do look a bit bitty...the 929 rry was great with its underseat space and that is missed but hey, this blade looks so clean and crisp, a complete supersports bike wgich in standard form needs nothing really doing with it. The fuel injection can be a little jerky but once yu get used to it it becomes fine and give it more right hand and it lights up with good handling and a positive feedback from both ends. I will do another report in 6 months but so far , buy one, use it and love it...great bike in al depts.

Read more shove(from 40mph in 3rd gear left my mate on his 09 blade for dead) as the bike is way over geared to hit nearly 180mph at the expense of being gutless below 6000rpm compared to my previous 98 blade.the handling of this bike is monumental just look where u want to go and it follows your head i have never had a twitch,moment or anything just rock solid confidence.....ignore the reviews of the bike in the magazines what they mean by bland is the bike does what u want it to do without drama and that`s what u want where your going quick not some twitchy wheelie monster that could spit u off any minute.....could do with a slipper clutch as from another review there is a lot of engine braking.....in a word faultless Overall Rating 5 out of 5 Ride Quality & Brakes 5 out of 5 Engine 5 out of 5 Build Quality & Reliability 5 out of 5 Value & Running Costs 5 out of 5 Equipment 5 out of 5 5 out of 5 this bike is astonishing! 12 January 2009 by kharheng got my new bike on 2006, my current mileage shows 13k miles and this bike perform brilliant. love the engine where it goes very smooth, great engine braking, loads of low end torque and it doesn't comsume engine oil after run in period. some said it... Read more has lack of bhp compare to its competitor, but frankly, its more than enough on the road. Fuel comsumption will put give u a smile if rev under 5k rpm, it will show reserve under 100 miles if rush in the freeway at 120mph above. handling is brilliant after replace with the stock pirelli tire to BT-016, just some minor click on suspensions and she will stick on the ground perfectly. front brakes are excellent, rear brake is functioning?? for reliability issue, battery gone flat because of the stator failure. its a common issue and i got free replacement from my local dealer althought its out of warranty but honda gave another 6 years warranty for that. other than that, so far so good. this is a well build and user friendly bike, must have it!

Read more a really good difference).the power is ok but a bit tame for my liking,power commander pipe and filter does spice it up a bit but still loads of room for improvement.the electronic steering damper is a really good idea but i would like to try one with a manual damper to see the difference as i have had a couple of high speed tankslappers coming off jumps(thet did even out fast enough).finishing needs some work,the screws seem very cheep build,prone to salt damage no matter how well you clean them.heat shields could have been better designed as they are bulky looking and the rear brake reservoir is badly placed(fixed by cutting the pipe and installing a 15cc brembo res).suspension in its standard settings is way too hard(well for ireland anyway),everthing needs backed off just slightly especially the rear preload.the tank needs a better finish as it suffers for getting rub marks off your leathers,i got mine lacquered which helped.engine wise I have to say good but drinks way too much oil,not used to having to top up the oil so much(never had to on my gsxr) and the battery needs an opitmate or it will start to lose the charge now and again.ride mine all year round and it still started to go after a year an a half(dealer says this is normal.so moral of the story is fix these problems and you have a top class bike.......im watching 08 :) Overall Rating 5 out of 5 Ride Quality & Brakes 5 out of 5 Engine 4 out of 5 Build Quality & Reliability 4 out of 5 Value & Running Costs 4 out of 5 Equipment 4 out of 5 4 out of 5 Awesome!! 13 June 2007 by Anonymous Just switched to a 2005 Blade from a Kawsaki Z750 and the change is unbelievable.

Read more of R&G's and no need to change anything on it. The seating position takes a little getting used to - it's comfortable, don't get me wrong, but the more 'forward' position takes a while to get your head around. Commuting on it is a breeze and you can relax and plod or crank it up as necessary. Induction roar is fantastic if you wind it up and the brakes are very good at bringing it all to a stop very quickly indeed!! Just need to look after your licence though as the speed is very deceptive - when I picked it up, I rode home and at one point thought I must have been doing about 35mph - when I looked at the clocks I was doing nearer 60mph!! In case you haven't realised, I love this bike. It's not necessarily the most road specific or track specific bike but in my mind that makes it a great all rounder.

mulch eating dog - burp!
My dog has taken to eating my new mulch; Gorilla Hair type, I believe. He then comes in the house and has "issues" from both ends. Any suggestion on what I can do to keep him from consuming it? He is a sheltie, house dog, about 12 years old. I have never had mulch that was easy for him to get at before this season.
Thanx in advance for any suggestions!
Maybe he needs more fiber in his diet! :^D
Can you put up a temporary fence, like chicken wire or plastic netting? Maybe that would be enough to get him out of the habit. Or maybe get some of that spray that deters pets and spray the perimeter of your mulched areas.
Good luck!
Dogs will eat just about anything, including things that are potentially deadly. Cat poop seems to be a particular delicacy. Fortunately, cats are a lot better at getting around things like those gates you use to keep babies from falling down the stairs than dogs are, so that's an easy one to solve.
If the dog develops a taste for your mulch, you can try going outside with the dog and giving him a good spray with the hose if he gets too close to the mulch. He'll quickly learn that he gets sprayed when he approaches the mulch and will avoid it at all costs. Or he'll learn to look around and only snack on the mulch when you're not out there (a much likelier outcome in my opinion).
A fence might help. Other than that, your best bet is probably a mulch that the dog doesn't like.
I am always amazed at some of the things dogs eat!
Hmmm.. sounds like you might need to take a multi-pronged approach. Maybe include an "invisible" fence? If that can train a dog to stay in a yard, I would think it could keep a dog out of your mulched areas as well.
I WAY second BP's suggestion to use the hose! It works!
The neighbors behind me have a pack of dogs! Two of them are Great Danes, and when they stand up against the (6' privacy) fence, they can see over the top of it! The fence is old!!! Having a 150 pound dog repeatedly "throwing" itself against the fence is NOT a good thing!!! I asked the neighbors nicely to please keep the dog from jumping up against the fence! Nothing happened! Either the neighbors didn't care, or they never figured out that they were the Alpha Males!!!
Alpha Male here!!! ;-)
This spring, as soon as it was warm enough to leave the water on, I left the hose charged and kept it with me when I was out in the yard. Every time I got near the fence the dog(s) jumped up on the fence to look and bark at me! I waited for them! Stalker, I! Every time their adorable little (???) faces appeared above the top of the fence, the hose was waiting for them--and they got it--right in the face! Only took a few days to slow them way down! I wasn't trying to slow them down, I was out to STOP them, and consistently watched them and gave them a bath every time I possibly could! Even started to wait for them to jump up on my (side) neighbor's fence whenever they let their dogs out. Couldn't get them in the face over there, so I just held the hose (a wand with a breaker on it) over the top of the fence and "rained" all over their parade! In less than two weeks I had them almost completely "trained," and it's extremely unusual for them to come "visit" me anymore, even when I'm working right up against the fence! And besides the Great Danes, I also broke the next two biggest ones of standing right on the other side of the fence where I was working and barking--and barking--and barking...... I couldn't get them in the face, so I just "rained" on them over and over! No more barking.
For it to work, you need to really surprise them, at least the first few times. After that your dog will probably start to watch you anytime you're near/holding the hose, and once he's figured out that chowing down on the mulch is gonna be a "shocking" experience, betcha he'll stop pretty quickly. You need to be consistent--just like with a 2-footed kid--but if you are, I don't think it'll take long! (You need a quick shutoff valve on the hose so you can turn it on and off instantaneously.)
My last (second of two) dog (CHILD!) was an All American! Her mother was a pure bred Pekinese, but she looked just like a small Shelty! She thought horse sh...., I mean horse poop was a delicacy!
P.S. BP, nice to see you're still around here!

Ultimate Guitar/Bass thread!
there's a lot of members on here who play guitar, bass, drums, etc...I thought it would be cool to have a thread on here dedicated to talking about it. whether you're playing with a band or just playing with yourself (looking at you depeche!), post what gear you're using. what gear do you plan/want to get? whats good? what sucks? converse amongst yourselves.
B.C. Rich Warlock
B.C. Rich Beast
Squier Strat
Crate XT15R
Crate XT120R
B.C. Rich Ice Acrylic Warlock
a couple weeks ago I was actually looking at getting this BC Rich, the mockingbird has a cool design. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tar?sku=512286
as for what I have right now:
Schecter C-1 Triple X
Ibanez Iceman IC300
Peavey XXL 100W head w/matched 4X12 cab
yeah, very basic set-up right now. I sold off all my unnecessary equipment, i.e. junky effects, un unsed pickups, i.e. bill lawrence, emg, duncan and rebuilding my rig.
plan to put a matched set up duncan pearly gates in the Iceman. give it some growl, but I like the lower output, open sound the 'gates have to them. it's different than what everyone else is doing, which I like.
looking into selling the peavey head to help fund a mesa boogie recto. can't really decide if I want to go single or dual? the dual seems like more wattage than I will ever need, but it does have some cool features like lead boost and some other stuff. but the single is simply more affordable.
yeah, well its a certain breed that love the warlock and beast designs. I had a cheapo warlock when I was 15 or 16. it was fun while it lasted. played a show and smashed it. at the time I figured "what the hell? this will be fun and I have a kickass Ibanez RG!". unfortunately the smashing of it greatly reduced the resale value. I sold it to some kid for $10 thereafter.
it seemed like a great idea while in the moment. the thing was beyond repair, neck was split and body blown up, those cheap agathis bodies. I think the kid just wanted a souvenier.
what pups do you have the rich's? EMG's I'm assuming.
I play bass and rock a Rickenbacker and mexican Fender Jazz Bass. I have a Fender combo amp/cab and like digitech effects(digi-delay and whammy) as well as a Zoom multi effects petal for distortion and chorus effects. I play 3 finger style, slap and pop, finger tapping and use a pick.
I'm into alot of different styles of music but i like to make disonent jazz runs and such.
the mexican jazz basses are fucking awesome. I wanted to get one about a year ago, just didn't want to throw $400 down for one. but definetely the bass I would get if I were going to get one. get me?

Fantasy chat recap with Roger Rotter
Share This Story
|Roger Rotter Fantasy Football chat
|FOX Fantasy: Hi all! Roger Rotter is here to answer your fantasy football questions. Ask away!
|FOX Fantasy: Kap asks: Is K. Britt WR worth picking up? Also, what do you think of Berrian, Lance Moore, Roddy White, and Wade this week?
|Roger Rotter: Kenny Britt is a solid pickup. He's one of my Top 10 claims to make this week.
|Roger Rotter: They are facing Indy's No. 1 passing offense next. Tennesse ranks as the worst pass defense, and has allowed the second-most passing scores (10).
|Roger Rotter: As a result, I think Indy will be able to score a lot of points against the Titans, and that will force Kerry Collins to air it out frequently.
|Roger Rotter: They haven't been running as much with their poor defensive play. Collins threw 48 times against Jacksonville last game, and Britt caught seven of those passes for 105 yards.
|Roger Rotter: The Saints are off in Week 5, so Moore won't be playing.
|Roger Rotter: Bernard Berrian should have an excellent day against St. Louis' erratic defense.
|Roger Rotter: Roddy White has a tough matchup at San Francisco, but I consider him a weekly start until he proves otherwise.
|Roger Rotter: Bobby Wade isn't involved in Kansas City's offense enough to warrant starting him.
|FOX Fantasy: Steve asks: Wondering if I should think about trading Westbrook or should I stick it out?
|Roger Rotter: Trade Westbrook if you can.
|Roger Rotter: He's going to share carries with LeSean McCoy now. He's still struggling with his ankle injury. He can still serve as a No. 3 back in Philly's productive offense, but his value sinks dramatically from a first-rounder.
|FOX Fantasy: Doug ask: I know it was his first game back but is is Lynch going to produce?
|Roger Rotter: Yes, he'll be a strong fantasy start against Cleveland's second-worst run defense that has also yielded the most rushing scores (8). Keep him and start him.
|Roger Rotter: He looks like he'll be a factor in the passing attack as well.
|FOX Fantasy: Gary Coleman asks: Do you think T. Jones and D. Henderson for C. Benson is a good trade if I'm the one getting Benson?
|Roger Rotter: What are you talking about?!
|Roger Rotter: Keep Thomas Jones and Devery Henderson. I'd say Jones is worth more than Cedric Benson alone.
|Roger Rotter: I'd try to avoid making a trade for the sake of making a trade.
|FOX Fantasy: A-Doug asks: What is Mendenhall´s long term outlook? Is he becoming the #1 RB in Pittsburgh?
|Roger Rotter: He'll continue to be Pittsburgh's featured back until Willie Parker returns from his turf toe. After that, I'd expect them to both share carries.
|Roger Rotter: In my opinion, Mendenhall would serve as a better goal-line back than the lighter Parker.
|Roger Rotter: So I see Mendenhall as the better fantasy back for the rest of the season.
|Roger Rotter: He also adds more inside power, and it may be no coincidence that Pittsburgh had one of its best rushing results in the last couple of years with Mendenhall being the featured back.
|Roger Rotter: Additionally, looks like his fumbling issues could be a thing of the past as he's worked hard on that, giving the coaching staff more confident in using him regularly.
|FOX Fantasy: John asks: I am in need of a WR. All 3 of mine are on bye this week. Is Massaquoi from the Browns worth a pickup? What other WR would you suggest?
|Roger Rotter: Yes. I'd claim rookie wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi.
|Roger Rotter: He looks like he'll be replacing Braylon Edwards as Cleveland's big-play receiver that they've desperately needed the last two contests.
|Roger Rotter: He caught a Week 4 high of 148 yards from eight receptions, and nearly scored on a 29-yard reception.
|Roger Rotter: In light of Edwards' off-the-field difficulties, this helps Massaquoi even more.
|Roger Rotter: He can make it two straight games with at least 100 receiving yards when Cleveland meets Buffalo's ailing secondary next.
|FOX Fantasy: Mike asks: Should I drop Bengals D/ST and pick up RB Jerome Harrison? Denver is my other D/ST.
|Roger Rotter: Yes, I'd see if I could claim Jerome Harrison any way possible, and dropping Cincy's D/ST is a good way to do that. Harrison is No. 1 in my top 10 claims this week.
|Roger Rotter: To further answer John's question about other free-agent receivers, rookie Austin Collie is a solid pickup. He serves more of a possession receiver than fellow wideout Pierre Garcon.
|Roger Rotter: Jeremy Maclin could surprise with Kevin Curtis expected to still be out for a couple games with a knee injury.
|FOX Fantasy: A reader asks: What are your thoughts on j.harrison for this week?
|Roger Rotter: If Jerome Harrison is the featured back again, he'll be worth starting against Buffalo's shaky defense (it allowed 115 yards and two scores to Ronnie Brown, and 85 yards and a score to Ricky Willliams last game).
|Roger Rotter: In my opinion, I still think Harrison will receive many carries even if Jamal Lewis returns. Lewis hasn't run well for the past couple of years.
|Roger Rotter: Harrison just needs to stay healthy, though.
|FOX Fantasy: ML asks: Starting TE Zach Miller. Backup TE Bo Scaife. Who do I start this week in a PP league? Should I pick up Finley, and will he be starting material following the bye week and beyond?
|Roger Rotter: First, I'd drop both. Zach Miller's scoring chances will be limited, and Tennessee is struggling.
|Roger Rotter: Instead, pick up Jermichael Finley (as you mentioned). It doesn't matter if he starts or not. What counts is if he'll be thrown to frequently, and it appears he will.
|Roger Rotter: He was the talk of the preseason for Green Bay, and lit up Minnesota for 128 yards and one score, which was a 62-yard catch and run.
|Roger Rotter: For this week, I'd pick up Heath Miller if he's available.
|Roger Rotter: He posted a great game against San Diego, scoring his first two touchdowns.
|Roger Rotter: Significantly, though, Pittsburgh meets Detroit next, and the Lions have allowed the most passing scores with 12.
|Roger Rotter: Five of those have been caught by tight ends: Jeremy Shockey (2), Visanthe Shiancoe, Greg Olsen and Kellen Davis.
|FOX Fantasy: Mike asks: How do you feel about Donald Brown against the Titans?
|Roger Rotter: He'll be a solid start as a second or third RB, and will have scoring chances as he's had for the past couple of games.
|FOX Fantasy:
Mike asks: Should I bench S-Jax against the Vikings?
|Roger Rotter: No. Minnesota's once fearsome rush defense appears to be on the decline.
|Roger Rotter: Running backs used to have no room to run and rarely seemed to make it past the line of scrimmage. Now the point of first contact seems to happen more frequently at the linebacker spot.
|Roger Rotter: Case in point: Ryan Grant had ample running room last game. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry, but only received 11 handoffs.
|Roger Rotter: Just as important, Minnesota gave up a lot of receiving yards to Grant. He caught four passes for 50 yards.
|Roger Rotter: I'd still start Steven Jackson with the expectation that he'll at least be productive via receiving.
|FOX Fantasy: Darryl asks: Should I trade Braylon Edwards?
|Roger Rotter: Yes. I'd be surprised if you can receive any quality players for him, but it's worth a chance.
|FOX Fantasy: Fred asks: Should I start T. Jones, M. Bush or M. Moore as a 3rd back this week?
|Roger Rotter: Thomas Jones is the best option as he's assured of receiving many touches against Miami as the Jets' featured back.
|Roger Rotter: Though Darren McFadden is out 2-4 weeks with a knee injury, Michael Bush will have a difficult time on the road against the Giants.
|Roger Rotter: Mewelde Moore is an intriguing option since Pittsburgh plays Detroit. But I'd play him as a deeper sleeper, especially if Willie Parker misses a second straight contest.
|FOX Fantasy: Jim asks: I have great WRs and am in need of a runningback. Which ones would be good to target?
|Roger Rotter: It's easier to trade for ones whose values aren't that high. If you can swing it, I'd see if I could trade a mediocre player (such as WR) for Marshawn Lynch, LeSean McCoy, Knowshon Moreno, Donald Brown and Ryan Grant.
|Roger Rotter: I think those players can be had cheaply and are on the upswing.
|Roger Rotter: I'd also look at Rashard Mendenhall, Thomas Jones and Steve Slaton.
|Roger Rotter: As for stud running backs who will come at a steep price, I'd look at Maurice Jones-Drew (easy schedule), Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson, Brandon Jacobs and Ronnie Brown.
|FOX Fantasy: A reader asks: Would you draft Crabtree in a deep league?
|Roger Rotter: I think he's worth claiming for those who need a receiver. Doesn't make sense how he could make up the money this year by forgoing this year and entering next year's draft again (without any guarantees from teams and that would be tampering). Plus, those teams would need to have poor records to have a high first-round pick (unless there was a trade).
|FOX Fantasy:
Marcus asks: Who are you WR & RB sleepers this week?
|Roger Rotter: At running back, Jerome Harrison, Marshawn Lynch, Jonathan Stewart, Rashard Mendhenall, Tashard Choice, Ahmad Bradshaw, LeSean McCoy, Glen Coffee, Tim Hightower, Chris Wells, Knowshown Moreno and Donald Brown are some sleepers for Week 5.
|Roger Rotter: At wide receiver, Mohamed Massaquoi, Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, Kenny Britt, Patrick Crayton, Hakeem Nicks, Jeremy Maclin, Sidney Rice, Kevin Walter, Steve Breaston and Mike Sims-Walker are a some sleepers for Week 5.
|Roger Rotter: Thanks for all your questions! Much appreciated!
|Roger Rotter: Hopefully, I'll see you again this Sunday from 11-1 p.m. ET for pregame questions on whom to start.
|FOX Fantasy: John Juhasz chats on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. Thanks for your questions!

Out of all the activities I had planned for myself on my 5 day adventure in Cambodia, one that I was especially looking forward to was visiting a floating village along Tonle Sap Lake. In my head I envisioned weather-worn bamboo huts skirting the edges of the water, boats that have seen better days sputtering by from time to time, and people living in tune with nature. That's what I was expecting, and it's pretty close to what I found. But what I wasn't prepared for was to feel like the biggest, guiltiest voyeur ever.
Pudong International Airport
It was 9:00 on a Thursday morning and I had just landed in Shanghai, the largest city in China by population and the largest city proper by population in the world. I was ultimately headed to the temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. However, before I could bask in the tropical temperatures and dubiously bathe myself in sunscreen, there was one thing standing in my way: a 9-hour layover.
When I got asked to shoot Beomosa Temple for an upcoming article in Seoul Magazine, I was really excited. Mostly because I love Beomosa and the other reason was that I really wanted to see what goes on at a temple stay which was the focus of the article. Temple stay programs are a unique way to experience temple life. However, most of the people that I asked about these programs either hated them or did them as a one off thing.
I don't consider myself a pyromaniac, but I will say I do love me some fireworks. The way they sparkle and shine against the dark night sky. The elongated screech they produce as they're released into the air, and the extra half second it takes for that final BANG to reach the ears. And there's something about the collective experience of standing in a crowd with your neck craned high, saying "Woahhhhh!" along with everyone else.
We were walking around Jumunjin Harbour on an early April morning. The sun was warm and the docks were busy with tourists and workers. Underneath the carpark the wharf was busier than usual. Long gone were the fish sellers, moved to another less in the way location of the port, so to see so much coming and going was unusual. While not regulars in Jumunjin port, we would be more regular that most and seeing a flurry activity as such was something reserved for the height of the squid season, and it was not that time of year yet.
We edged closer, hopping over river sized puddles and landing on tiny atolls of uneven concrete, until we came to what was of so much anxiety and interest to the workers and curious visitors. On the concrete were nets and nets full of fish. They were litterally exploding with them. To see nets this full in a small port like Jumunjin, where even in their tourist markets they mostly sell farmed fish, was a delight. There were wheelbarrows full to bursting being shoved past, and nets being stretched long for cleaning and recasting. Of greatest interest though was the a stocky greying man, sitting on a plastic chair pulling the fish from the nets.
I'D HEARD that the place was going to be busy. The weird moronic western dude behind the desk at our hotel told us as much when we enquired about the place. "It's even busy during the rainy season," the words stumbled in slow motion out of his mouth. "We went there in October during the rainy season and there were still, like, 40 boats in the bay." It was probably his thick birth-control glasses, nervous demeanour, monk-like bald patch, and slow, slightly scouse – but also kinda german – accent that, at least for me, rendered his opinions worthless.
