a new outbuilding for an old house
Some of you have seen this over on Home Dec, so ignore it if you did, but I thought you old-house folks might like to see. :-)
The ~1910-ish micro-garage next to our 1900 house was failing - minor details like no foundation at all, sills you could stick your finger through, rotten roof decking and floors - and would have been miles outside our budget to fix up well enough to be safe for use. After a lot of wrangling we chose to tear it down and replace it with a smaller (8x10), very sturdy structure from a local semi-custom shed company. I am very happy with how well it coordinates with the house, especially the roofline angle of the main house. (I hate the roofline of the rear addition, it looks wrong, but I'm stuck with it.) It looks like it belongs there; we could have gotten one that was much cheaper at a home improvement center but it would have looked like a cheap shed tacked onto the property because the proportions were always off. The shed company just came out with this model this summer, just in time for us. Sorry the 2nd picture is a little washed out in front, it was tricky to get enough light to see the side.
I do miss having a proper garage - our last house had an oversized 2-car garage and parking outside sucks in a snowy/icy climate, but I'm just glad we have off-street parking this winter! We had to park on the yard itself which is not only trashy but made a rutted mess of the ground.
Here is a link that might be useful: Reeds Ferry Sheds, Nashua NH
Johnmari ~ I wanted to tell you that in addition to the new shed, I think your old house is wonderful! Glad you have a parking area too. We have a garage that I have never parked in due to DH's 'stuff' which is a pain in the winter.
Hey, you are getting very close to my pictures which are listed lower down on this board (see 'Hex Floor' thread) :o) Shower doors will be installed and pics added this afternoon.
Thanks, kimkitchy. Hopefully our grounds will be a little bit more attractive next year; our house was a rental for 10+ years and then a poorly done flip, and was completely overgrown with neglected shrubbery that we tried to neaten up and eventually just had to tear out especially once the honeysuckle invasion began and it started eating the porch! All along the right side of the porch were lilacs (eastern NH is practically Lilac Central and I adore them) which we do want to replace but with dwarf varieties so they don't take over the porch like we removed.
Wow, Lauren, that bathroom's really sharp. Well done!
Have you forgiven me yet for bullying you into stripping the trim in the dining room? LOL Karma is paying me back by giving me acres of leprous-looking trim that needs to be stripped - PO painted right over about a zillion coats of chipping, peeling paint with FLAT paint (urgh, it's filthy already and completely uncleanable) without scraping or sanding anything, plus he dripped and slopped and painted right over the original porcelain interior knobs and *wail* Eastlake exterior knob and twist doorbell. It's awful. We know the trim in the living and dining rooms and front hallway were originally something stained dark from a couple of spots that chipped all the way through, but even if we were to repaint it rather than restoring the dark finish it still needs to be completely stripped down. The baseboards in the LR and DR have a beautiful fluted detail that's completely gunked up with paint, which I think is going to mean a lot of time with dental picks. :-/ Upstairs we have spots chipped down to original paint that was mint green! *shudder* I don't really have much for interior pics because we're still in "complete dump" mode inside due to cashflow and lack of DIY-ability (time, energy and skills).
johnmari, you probably already know this but thought I'd chime in, just in case you don't. This Old House had informtion about using an old crock pot filled with water and putting your paint covered hardware in it for a while until the paint just falls off. I've heard it works really well. I hate thinking about your Eastlake knob and twist doorbell covered in paint!
Not hijack your thread here, but does anyone know how to fix a twist doorbell that no longer rings? Ours only kind of clicks or clatters. Probably we'd need to replace the interior parts, but I hate to buy a whole new reproduction bell just to gut it for the parts!
Ugh, good luck with your paint stripping.
Johnmari ~ my son has used a small crockpot (as Kim suggests) for years to easily strip the paint off our old hardware and any other old hardware he gets his hands on (he's into historical preservation). Seems it soaks in the crockpot and then he cleans it off fairly easily.
I don't blame you, I thank you! Yes, you were very passionate and insistent...and it convinced me to do the right thing. If it were not for you, I would be staring at painted woodwork in the dining room thinking, "I wish this was stripped." It took months but we love how it matches the living room. After the bathroom, hallway and living room projects, I will likely strip the bannister's and posts at the top of the upstairs. Maybe a few door frames, there's still plenty of painted oak trim in this house. Stripping wood is very rewarding slow work.
Our house has been in constant mess/restoration for 8 years. Having this bathroom finally completed is going to be such a big improvement in our living conditions! Money has always been the biggest challenge and with the current economy, that will continue to be the case.
We already have a spare old crockpot ($1 at a yard sale) set aside in a closet for the hardware. :-) I'm hoping to get started on the paint stripping next spring, assuming I'm healthy enough to work for a few hours at a time instead of 15 minutes (not worth even getting out tools), although next summer's big project is to strip much of the porch and do a whole slew of repairs to it before repainting. Normally we'd hire that sort of thing out because it's such a big project but finances are an issue w/us too. We spent a lot this year on "de-landscaping" (shrub/tree removal and tree trimming), regrading, and putting in the driveway, the shed, and a fence for the back yard, plus some electrical and plumbing inside and splurging on a couch and coffee table that actually fit into our living room. Still, we might spend the money on one of those infrared paint remover thingies to speed up the process.
Can't help you on the doorbell, Kim - try starting a new thread with your question. Ours sort of does a combination clank and ring, but I think that's because of the thick layers of paint on the bell.

Infection Control
One of the National Patient Safety Goals is to reduce the number of nosocomial infections (hospital acquired infections). This is everyone's job and the Infection Control Department leads the way in the prevention and control of infections for the well-being of patients, healthcare workers and visitors.
Each department at GAHHS is conscientious of their role in the prevention of hospital acquired infections. GAHHS' Infection Control Nurse monitors the hospital departments and employees closely to ensure a safe environment for those at the hospital. The infection control nurse is in contact with hospital employees and departments daily to achieve their goal. The Infection Control Nurse has special training and knowledge regarding infection control and is certified in this.
When you are a patient be sure that the staff caring for you washes their hands before and after they perform a procedure. They may also use the alcohol gel to clean their hands.
If you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your hand and then discard the tissue and wash your hands.

Zucchini stopped producing
This is my first year growing zucchini, and grew two nice Eight Ball hybrid plants, and they produced wonderfully for me, up until last weekend. They'd be each pumping out a fruit every three days, and I probably got 25 from each. But now, they have seemed to stop, and alot of the leaves are white with powdery mildew, and the flowers are blooming but all seem to be male.
Since this is my first year.... are the plants done producing ? Do they cease at some point, or do they continue until frost ? I'm confused what to do.
Under perfect conditions, you may be able to keep them going, I get about6-8 weeks of production and plow them down when they get straggly. If I want more, I will do a fall planting. 50 zukes per plant is an exceptional yield. Only the fall planting goes til frost here.
If you can get the powdery mildew under control, then the plants may put out some more. But it will likely be a losing battle that the PM will eventually win. So you decide how your garden space is best used. If a few more squash are most important, battle the PM. Or you could cut your losses there and clear the space for some fall plantings. Root veggies, spinach, lettuce, peas, etc.
I agree with Susancol that the PM will eventually win. But, if you treat, you can extend your harvest until frost. I usually plant only one or two plants, so every zuke counts. I start looking for PM signs mid-summer and treat for the rest of the season. This year I have only one plant, but have three cucumber(bush-type)in a box that developed PM before the zuke did. This is my first time using diluted milk and it seems to be working at keeping PM at bay, although I repeat spraying after a heavy rain. Both the zuke and cukes are putting out new clear growth.

Table of Contents CHAPTER 5 Primary and Derivative Products 2 Forward Market 2 Futures Market 3 Difference between forward and futures 5 Options Market 6 Margins 6 5 5 Chapter I C O N K E Y Website Link Key Point Exercise Currency Derivatives Speculators and Hedgers are like opposite sides of the same coin C urrency derivatives are built on currency forward contracts, currency futures, and currency options. Speculators often use currency derivatives simply to make profit. MNCs commonly use currency derivatives to cover their foreign currency positions. There are primary and derivative products offered in the market place Primary and Derivative Products Primary Products (assets and securities): Their values are determined by their own cash flows and an ―appropriate‖ discount rate. Examples are stocks and bonds, commodities, real estate, currencies etc. Derivative Products: Their values are dependent on the value of primary products. Examples are forward contracts, futures, options, swaps, insurance, etc. Why derivative products? They are efficient (low-cost) and effective tools to hedge or speculate. Hedging and Speculation are like opposite sides of the same coin. Derivatives could be used to achieve either hedging or speculation depending on the position taken (e.g. insurance company vs. insurance policy holders). ―Guns don't kill people, people kill people.‖ Hedging: The purchase or sale of a commodity, security or other financial instrument for the purpose of offsetting the profit or loss of another security or investment. Thus, any loss on the original investment will be hedged, or offset, by a corresponding profit from the hedging instrument. Forward Market The forward market was founded in Chicago in the 1850s and is an over-the-counter (OTC) market. The foundations for forward contracts are banks that are willing to enter into contracts with corporations. The forward market allows an MNC to lock in the exchange rate (forward rate) for a specific time period. The MNC can then buy or sell currency at the rate during the specific period. A forward contract is a contract to buy or sell a predetermined amount of currency at a future time for a 2 ―locked-in‖ exchange rate. Most forward contracts are for 30, 60, 90, 180, or 360 days. MNCs use the forward market when they have a future transaction and want to be certain of the exchange rate. Like spot rates, forward rates have a bid/ask spread. The spread between the bid and the ask is the profit for the bank willing to conduct the contract. Typically the spread is larger for currencies in developing countries, and forward rates are available only for the short term. CBOT-Chicago Board of Trade The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), established in 1848, is the world's oldest derivatives (futures and futures-options) exchange. More then 3,600 CBOT members trade 47 different futures and options products at the CBOT, resulting in annual trading volume of more than 260 million contracts in 2001. Initially CBOT listed only agricultural instruments for trading —such as wheat, corn and oats. In 1975, the CBOT expanded its offerings to include financial contracts. The first financial contracts traded were US Treasury Bonds. They are now one of the worlds most actively traded futures. The CBOT listings expanded again in 1982, when options on futures contracts were introduced, and on October 6, 1997, the CBOT made history again when it launched one of its most successful contracts—futures and futures- options on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. For more then 150 years, the primary method of trading at the CBOT had been open outcry, during which traders meet fact-to-face in trading pits to buy and sell futures contracts. Then, in 1994 the CBOT launched an electronic trading system, and most recently, in August 2000, an ectronic trading platform. The CBOT's market provides opportunities for risk management for users who include farmers, corporations, small business owners, and others. Risk management, in the form of hedging, is the practice of offsetting the price risk inherent in any cash market position by taking an equal but opposite position in the futures market. Hedgers use CBOT futures markets to protect their businesses from adverse price changes that could have a negative impact on their bottom line. The CBOT presently is a self-governing, self-regulated Delaware not-for-profit, non-stock corporation that serves individuals and member firms. There are several types of memberships within the CBOT, which allow access to all or some of the markets listed at the exchange. Of the CBOT's 3,600 members, 1,400 are full members who have traded access to all of the exchange's contracts. http://www.cbot.com Futures Market The Mecca of futures is Chicago, just like the financial center of the world is New York City. There are two major futures exchanges in Chicago. One is the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and the other is the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) which recently merged into one single entity. 3 Futures contracts for agricultural commodities have been traded in the U.S. for more than 100 years and have been under Federal regulation since the 1920s. In the last 20 years, futures trading has expanded rapidly into many new markets beyond the domain of traditional physical and agricultural commodities. Futures and options are now offered on many energy commodities such as crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas, as well as on a vast array of financial instruments, including foreign currencies, U.S. and foreign government securities, and U.S. and foreign stock indexes. In addition, in recent years, new futures contracts have been offered in non-traditional commodity areas such as electricity, seafood, dairy products, crop yields, and weather derivatives. Trading starts at 7:20 am (CT) and ends at 2:00 pm (CT). Orders are placed with a brokerage firm, who contracts with a floor broker at the CME. A participant needs to establish an initial margin, which is usually 2% of the contract value, and there is normally a 50-dollar commission for a roundtrip trade. A roundtrip trade occurs when a participant both buys and sells or sells and buys. This is referred to as canceling their position The floor broker stands at a specific spot in the trading pit where the type of contract is traded. He attempts to find a counterpart who wishes to fulfill the order. Contracts are typically around the 100,000-dollar mark. Contracts come to term on the third Wednesday in the months of March, June, September, or December. A future contract is an agreement to buy or sell in the futures a specific quantity of a commodity at a specific price. Most futures contracts contemplate that actual deliver of the commodity can take place to fulfill the contract. However, some futures contracts (index, weather, etc) require a cash settlement in lieu of the actual delivery. In reality, most contracts are liquidated before the delivery date. An option on a commodity futures contract gives the buyer of the option the right to convert the option into a futures contract. Futures and options must be executed on the floor of a commodity exchange. Most of the participants in the futures and option markets are commercial or institutional users of the commodities they trade. These users, most of whom are called ―hedgers,‖ want the value of their assets to increase and also want to limit, if possible, any loss in value. Hedgers may use the commodity markets to take a position that will reduce the risk of financial loss in their assets due to a change in price. Other participants are ―speculators‖ who hope to profit from changes in the price of the futures or option contract. CME-Chicago Mercantile Exchange Founded as a not-for-profit corporation in 1898, CME became the first publicity traded U.S. financial exchange in December 2002 when the Class A shares of their parent company, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings Inc. began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CME. Chicago Mercantile Exchange is an international marketplace that brings together buyers and sellers of derivatives products, which trade on their trading floors, electronic trading system and through privately negotiated transactions. The Exchange offers futures and options in four basic product areas: interest rates, stock indexes, foreign exchange, and commodities. 4 http://www.cme.com/ Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)\ Congress created the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 1974 as an independent agency with the mandate to regulate commodity futures and options markets in the United States. The agency protects market participants against manipulation, abusive trade practices and fraud. Through effective oversight and regulation, the CFTC enables the markets to serve better their important functions in the nation's economy—providing a mechanism for price discovery and a means of offsetting price risk. http://www.cftc.gov NFA-National Futures Association Founded on October 1, 1982, the National Futures Association began its mission to protect the public investor by maintaining the integrity of the marketplace. Industry leaders began to contract an organization that would establish and enforce high standards of business conduct. Congressional legislation that established the CTFC in 1974 also authorized the creation of ―registered futures associations.‖ This provision gave the industry the opportunity to develop a self-regulatory organization that would work in conjunction with government oversight. http://www.nfa.futures.org/ Differences between Forwards and Futures There are many practical differences between forwards and futures although conceptually they are the same. Forward Futures Regulations Self-regulated (banks) CFTC, NFA Limits on Price Change No Limit Daily Limit Delivery Date No set delivery date Set date (3rd Wed of the delivery month) Currencies Used Any currencies Select currencies Transaction Cost Bid/Ask Spread 20-50 U.S dollars Margins No margin Margin Min. = Your equity Contract Sizes No set size Set size Location OTC Futures exchanges 5 Options Market The Options Market was established in 1982. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulates it. Currency options are offered by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Currency Options are available in many, but not all currencies. http://www.ino.com Latest information for options and futures A currency option is a right to buy or to sell at a specified price (exercise price or strike price) with no obligation over a specific period of time. This places the obligation on the seller while the buyer enjoys the right to use the option. When an option is used it is referred to as ―exercising‖ the option. The fee paid to purchase an option is called the premium. A real life example of a call option is a rain check, which is given free as a strategy to attract customers. Margins A margin is the trading $ amt or % of your equity in your investment. 60% margin means 60% of the investment is financed by your equity and 40% is through debt. 100% margin means no borrowing. The minimum margin required for stock trading is 50%, but could be higher for different brokerage firms and for risky stocks. A low margin is an inviting way to control a large value in an investment. This is called a leverage effect. The brokerage firms in the futures market usually allows you to purchase a position with a minimum of 2% down. So if you put down 2,000 dollars you can control 100,000 dollars in the market. If the product goes up or down, great gains/losses can be realized. Example: If you are buying a house with $300K and you are taking a loan, and have 20% to put down. 300 * 0.2 = $60K Here you don't need to buy PMI, you need to borrow $240K If the value of the house increases 10% then: $300K * 0.1 + $300 = 330K this is divided in two parts with no effect on the liability: $90K is yours and $240K is for liability Assets = Liability (L) + Owner/Equity (O/E) If your Assets change, O/E can be changed. This change is caused by the market condition. But you keep the liability which is unchangeable. Assets (A) – Liability (L) = Owner/Equity (O/E) in this case it is 90K The new margin is: 6 90/330 * 100 = 27.3% The return on this investment is: (90-60)/60 * 100 = 50%. This happens with only a 10% increase on the value of the house. This is caused by margin leverage. But if the value of the house has dropped by 10%. The new value of the house is: 270K (L=240K and O/E = 30K) the return on the investment is then: (30-60)/60 = -50%. Once again due to margin leverage, you have is a big loss. On conclusion leverage is riskier. 7

how to wake/em up
I've stored about one-third of our tubers in saran wrap this season, and they've fared very well in our garage, where the temperature stays around 50 most of the time. But now its getting about time to wake them up, and I'm unsure how to go about it. If I bring them into a warmer room, I'm concerned it would cause condensation - and thus rot - inside the wrap. Should I unwrap them before I bring them in? I'd thought about unwrapping them, putting them into unsealed plastic bags with a little damp peat moss, and then bringing them inside. Any suggestions?
(ps: we're on the Oregon coast where it never really gets too cold, or too warm for that matter.)
Yes, unwrap them for sure before or just after bringing them into a warmer environment. I learned the hard way last year. You can safely keep them in either peat or vermiculite or start some early in potting mix, until it's time to plant outdoors.
I bet you will find some already springing to life in their little plastic cocoons.
Thanks Poochella. I thought I recalled a post from last year in which someone told of an unfortunate experience when they warmed up wrapped tubers. Some our wrapped ones are beginning to show eyes, but not as much as those we stored in peat moss. The survival rate was much higher in wrap than in peat moss, which seemed to dry the tubers out even in our damp environment. We've only really been growing dahlias seriously (?) for one season, but were lucky enough to have a photo of our garden win a third place in Swan Island's annual photo contest and be published in their catalog. So now we're hooked, of course!
I'll plan to unwrap the tubers and put them in another medium before bringing them in to warm up.

Anyone having bizarre dreams? I am not one that usually dreams very often, but I have lately! Last night I dreamed that my husband was a werewolf? thing (thats the only way I can describe it) and kept trying to scratch and "infect" me. I was pregnant in my dream so I had to leave my husband with my family, who were for some reason immune to him. And basically, l never saw any of them again! It was really weird and depressing.
Crazy dreams...
Posted 08/28/2012
I had three WEIRD dreams last night.
One an ugly old witch (literally like the witch from the Wizard of Oz) came and literally stole my baby out of me. Baby wasn't even born, she just snatched it out of me!!
Second dream was that baby was born... a cute baby girl... but came out looking 5 years old!!!
Third was that we had multiples! This is the third dream in a row that I have a dream of having multiples....
Posted 08/28/2012
Yup my husband and i were like bonnie and clyde in one of my dreams getting chased by the police i even had a huge prego belly i woke up very anxious so yup i think it comes with the hormones lol

Never Underestimate the Importance of BI User Training
When I present on the topic of business intelligence failure, one theme that often comes up is inadequate user training. What's fascinating to me is that everybody usually agrees, slightly wistfully, that there hasn't been enough training done, often citing time pressures or budget constraints. But most seem to shrug their shoulders and say "that's just how it is" – or, more fairly, have concluded there are more important problems to deal with.
I disagree. I think that the appropriate BI training is some of the lowest-hanging fruit around – I believe small improvements in training can have big effects in how much benefit organizations get from their BI technology investment. BI is not about technology, it's about people. Information on its own is useless – it takes motivated, trained people to take the technology possibilities and turn them into actual business benefits.
This is true of all technology, of course, but BI is special among enterprise software because it's still considered largely "optional" – that is, in most organizations, you won't get fired for not actively using business intelligence software to its full potential. Most people, when they start a new role, are presented with a set of reports from their boss or their predecessor and told to look at certain figures on a regular basis. Few are motivated to go search beyond these figures, to think hard about what they could be doing to measure their effectiveness in more sophisticated ways.
If using business intelligence is too hard, or people don't know how to do it, they won't. This effect is sometimes called Mooers' Law (not to be confused with Moore's Law concerning integrated circuits), after Calvin Mooer, the computing pioneer who was first to coin the term "information retrieval" in 1950:
"An information retrieval system will tend not to be used whenever it is more painful and troublesome for a customer to have information than for him to not have it."
We're not primarily talking about training in how to use the BI products themselves, although ease-of-use is still important. Thanks to consumer internet technology and the advent of swipable mobile devices, nobody ever expects to have to read a software manual again. People now expect interfaces to be so intuitive that they can find their way around without any instructions – perhaps with the occasional hint when they have problems. The latest mobile products such as SAP BusinessObjects Mobile are starting to reach this level for "normal business people", and SAP Visual Intelligence for "power" business users.
Interface training is still important if people request it, though – most computer-literate people woefully underestimate how hard it is for the "average person" to understand computer interfaces. Here's an example of how extreme you can be in explaining things, courtesy of Marek Kowalkiewicz of SAP Research – an instruction sheet for how to plug in a standard LAN cable!
What's more important than interface training is training in the business data used, and the analytic skills required to make sense of those numbers. Giving somebody a pencil does not make them Picasso! Other than former MBA students, few employees have any solid grounding in how to draw conclusions from data, or know enough about BI technology to be able to know what might be possible with the right training and tools.
Organizations make thousands of decisions every day. If every one of those decisions could be improved with just a little extra training, the cumulative benefits could be enormous.
So how should companies try to achieve this? First, they need to put training budget in a "lockbox", protected from other project needs – and yes, these ultimately means "doing less" but "doing it better". This in turn often means having to rethink KPIs and incentives, making sure that IT and business departments are given joint goals on the business success of BI projects, ratther than IT only being incented to deliver projects – i.e. install the software and create standard reports.
Note that your friendly software sales rep is unlikely to be your ally in this process. Software companies make higher margins on software than on services, so the sales compensation plans are structured to get the rep to spend as much of your budget on software as possible – even if that is not what's ultimately best for the long-term success of the project or follow-on purchases (the odds are that the sales person will no longer be around at that point).
Second, it means doing real data-oriented training, ideally not in a classroom, but in the users' own business environments, with the real data they need to make decisions – and doing it over time. People leave companies and change roles, and they need to be able to get up to speed quickly. The training you did when you first rolled out the BI solution last year is already inadequate. Thankfully, this is getting easier with collaborative learning solutions such as those from SuccessFactors that allow front-line employees to swap tips and learning and collaborative decision making in SAP Jam.

Such a simple concept, yet one that is overlooked by many organisations. The new BI is business led business intelligence; it's fast, easily accessible and driving evidence based business decisions – exactly as it should have been for many, many years. But it's not going to work if the business can't confidently navigate the systems.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Really enjoyable stay, accommodation of very high standard and excellent value for money. Towels soft as they can be, quiet setting, comfy beds, excellent kitchen facilities, everything we needed for an amazing truly relaxing weekend.
Hot tub did have a problem but staff did everything they could to help. Only suggestion (which are tiny!) the decor was amazing and the place mats really did not go with it! Please make this little change to make it perfect! Also two wii controllers would be better as then people could play together! Xx
Excellent stay :)
Perfect.. did not want to leave. Would love to have a longer stay the next time we visit. All the staff were brilliant. Just the holiday we were hoping for.
A beautiful lodge. Went with the family and the lodge was five star luxury.
Excellent accommodation in a lovely setting. Would definitely go back .
lovely setting, quiet and relaxing.
Lovely lodge with all your ammenities. Home from home. We have stayed in 4 lodges in the Isle of Wight over the past 2 years and have found this one to be the best. Location near the sea with views across the solent is perfect. For a short relaxing break we thoroughly recommend this resort.
Staff excellent - popped rubbish outside door before taking to bin and staff had done it before we had a chance. Location great. Facilities great - lobby area and storage excellent as well as storage shelves in bathroom - which other lodge locations could take note from. Only slight negative was the unit the TV was too high and the TV really big - you needed to be watching it from the other side of the room - watching TV sitting on the sofas wasn't nice. We didn't go there to watch telly so not a biggy for us but taking the unit down a good 5 inches would solve the problem. Overall great and the trip over a doddle. Would definitely revisit. Wifi great also.
Fantastic holiday, accommodation was perfect! Will defiantly be returning in the near future!
lovely lodges, very well equipped, nice quiet area with well maintained grounds and very friendly staff
Fantastic place. Lovely lodge, beautiful location, very well equipped. Recommend to anyone who wants a chill out weekend.
Stayed in Feb15, in osborne premier view lodge which was located directly in front of the sea. Great to sit in the hot tub or on the sofa and watch the boats, tankers and P and O Oriana cruise by.
Accommodation was brilliant - no faults.
Drive to the site is long with several potholes, however found all roads on the isle needed attention!!
Lots of places to eat in Ryde and West Cowes, and good Tescos in Ryde/Morrisons in Newport.
Would love to return however in the summer its too expensive.
A lovely chalet set in an idyllic location for a wonderful, relaxing getaway. The closest main thoroughfare to the site is probably the shipping channel between the Isle of Wight & Southampton! Rather 'off the beaten track' but all the better a location for it
Lovely accomadation in a beautiful location. However resort could probably have done with a pool and maybe a kids play area. Another small negative is the distance to walk to the nearest pub, shops and bus stop.
Was relaxing and very pleasant.

I'm not familiar with the band System of a Down, but their front man Serj Tankian has gone on the solo route with this album (however, I don't think that he's quitting the band just doing this solo effort).
Tankian also is known for founding Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization to promote social justice, with Tom Morello of Audioslave.
It's obvious that he wants to work his political leanings into his music, but oddly the songs that I recognized this trend in were the least effective on the album (to my untrained ear, you may love them).
"The Unthinking Majority" says "I believe that you're wrong in insinuating that they hold the bomb, clear the way for the oil brigade." I guess that he's trying to say something about Iraq (duh). The odd thing about some of the songs is that he sings them with a pronounced accent that is not found on the others.
Tankian was born in Beirut, Lebanon, but was raised in Los Angeles. I don't know if he's doing this for effect or if when he tries to sing at a different range that the accent just comes out (I found an online interview with him and I'd not say that he really has too much of an accent and certainly not like the one used on the songs).
"Money" and "Saving Us" were a really good tracks and I didn't detect the accent I heard in the songs I'd consider politically motivated. There's a picture him on his Wikipedia entry that makes him look like a bit of a madman, but I imagine that he just has a different sense of humor instead of being certifiable (which made me wonder even more about the accentuation of the accent in some of the songs).
All in all I liked the album, but the tracks that really did it for me were the ones where a "message" wasn't being sung to me, like "Money" (or I just didn't notice the message in those tracks).
'Elect the Dead' is now available at Amazon. Visit the music database for more information.Note the date on this article may be incorrect due to importing it from our old system.

I would have to say this is one of the better places along York Road to get Chinese food. We usually get carry out though as the line goes out the door on weekends!
We eat chinese food a couple times a month and this place is always great. Food is hot and very tasty and service is very friendly. We continue to eat here and have never been disappointed.
this was A great surprise for a strip mall restaurant, although it did come highly rated. The first Happy Family that I've tried that came with a WHOLE lobster tail, & I don't mean small! It was delish! The eggplant was delish as well & we ate it for three more meals.
We ate there because of all the rave reviews, which we found fully warranted. The menu is large and includes authentic Chinese dishes, many of which Americans would eschew. The prices were astounding low. The restaurant is large and modern, the waitstaff anxious to please. I imagine that anyone who happens by this unpretentious restaurant in a small shopping center...
I have eaten at Szechuan House more times than I can count. We get take-out from them every few weeks. Egg rolls are amazing, crab meat wontons are delicious, every entree I've tried over the years is simply superb. Great atmosphere in the restaurant... kind of a 60's vibe.
Visited based on reviews here. It was near the fairgrounds (we were at the Festival of Trees), and on our way home.
This is some of the best, authentic Cjinese cuisine we have had. Mu shoo chicken was awesome, my son loved the beef lo mein, and I tried the szechuan beef. The szechuan beef was ok, but i would...
The Szechaun House is one of our favorites in the area. The food is consistently top notch and plentiful. I always enjoy a bowl of hot and sour soup to start my meal. In addition to the great food the service is as always superb. The friendly waitresses are always prompt and very attentive to your needs. Additionally, the prices...
The food is quite good and plentiful. The ambiance is atrocious! If you go at dinner time be prepared for noise and to wait, be ignored, and to have no room to move. We were already seated and they started bringing in additional tables so more parties could be seated sardine-style. The heated toilet seats in the bathroom (when they...
This is the best Chinese place in Balitimore. Always reliably good, nice selection, and attentive service. The decor could use a bit of an update, but other than that nothing negative to say. Reasonable prices and efficient.
I like this restaurant, usually carry-out whenever I'm in this part of town since it is quite far from my home. I like their mapao tofu, string beans with chicken. Their california roll ($3.50 for 8 pieces) is fantastic too. Their prices are much better than the chinese restaurants in Howard County where I reside. The food is ready in...

A number of my indicators are suggesting that markets are getting way too frothy and a short-term top may be likely at any time. Given the recent internal strength, however, I would expect the downside to be rather contained.
On May 18th, we mentioned the breakout levels warranted adapting a Bullish stance. But given how extended the rally has become, new buying might be more profitibly done on a pullback. It is prudent to gradually leg into new postions, and use caution. Many individual stocks are reaching major resistance — or flashing technical sell signals — and should be exited on a trading basis.
Guy Ortmann, Technical Analyst at Capital Growth Financial, notes the following data points:
1.) The NYSE McClellan and 21 Day OB/OS are very overbought short term (+132 and +7581 respectively).
2.) The OTC McClellan and 21 Day OB/OS are also overbought at +107 and +3197.
3.) The 10-Day Arms index is at .95. It was below.90 yesterday which is a "yellow flag".
4.) Our proprietary WST Intermediate Trend Indicator experienced a downward reversal yesterday from101.4 to 97.1. A three-point reversal suggests a change in the intermediate trend.
The upside is being driven by under-invested/under-performing hedge funds — they are the fuel propelling markets higher.
But we agree with Ortmann's observations that yesterday's action was "suspicious" as well. After the rally of the last few weeks, the markets saw their first real day of "distribution" in quite some time. The trading in the last hour resulted in a failed rally attempt with VOLUME INCREASING AS THE MARKETS SOLD OFF INTO THE CLOSE. Yesterday's volume was the highest we've seen in the last 5-6 trading days.
As a result, it is our belief that "caution" is the key word for the near term.
StockCharts.com's Chief Technical Analyst, John Murphy, has created another set of trading rules: "Ten Laws of Technical Trading:" "Which way is the market moving? How far up or down will it go? And when will it go the other way? These are the basic concerns of the technical analyst. Behind the charts and graphs and…Read More

Respond to Review of My Rainbow Dreams
by GUEST
Review: A little hard to find from the directions, but we eventually found it after calling and discovering it was near the post office and Woolies. Once found, it was a zen oasis, quiet saturday afternoon, outdoor seating, lots of vegan options including drinks and desserts (cakes and sorbet), yummy choice of burgers (mexican was the best) with to-die-for sauces, they said that they usually have even more vegan options like lasagne and desserts but as it was 3pm so they had already sold out :( They were well informed of vegan and gluten free meals. Once they had a few customers, the two staff couldn't look after us as well and we had to ask for our dessert that we'd already paid for after waiting for our plates to be cleared. We will definitely be back again though! Yummy!

Design and Implementation of a Compatible Wave Field Synthesis Authoring Tool
Wave Field Synthesis systems achieve a realistic 3D-sound rendering for a wide listening area, however, due to its novelty there is a lack in the WFS authoring process of mixing and producing. In this work, a set of software tools is presented. The proposed solution is based on a hybrid tool consisting on two modules: a standalone WFS rendering server and a source positioning client in the form of a VST plug-in. The VST plug-in communicates with the WFS server allowing transparency and flexibility from the software editing tool.

Scientists Propose Collider That Could Turn Light Into Matter 223
from the give-me-my-holodeck 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).
But that wont happen because they'll ban the thing over irrational fear before the technology reach the point it can print a cup of earl grey.
Okay, let's say you want to make a cup of earl grey tea from energy alone. For simplicity's sake, let's pretend you are providing the cup and the only thing you need to create is 250 mL (~8 fl oz for those of us in the benighted US) of pure water at 100 C. I chose 0.95835 g/cm3 as the density of H2O [wikipedia.org] @ 100 C.
Synthesizing that water from pure energy in a 100% efficient process that magically created only the appropriate molecules would require approximately 6,000 gigawatt-hours [google.com] of energy, aka 2.15E16 J (hooray for e=m*c^2 being on-topic for once in forever). FWIW, the absolute minimum amount of energy required is equivalent to over 5 megatons of TNT [unitconversion.org].
For reference, the generating capacity of the entire United States is approximately 1,000 gigawatts [eia.gov]. So, uh, in some mythical 100% efficient conversion of electricity to matter it would require the entire generating capacity of the United States for over 6 hours (line losses, oh my!) to produce the water for one cup of earl grey. If you want to stay true to concept, let's say your tea needs to be ready in 5 seconds. Okay, that represents 4.3 petawatts [google.com].
So, no, I doubt a ban will be what stands in the way of you getting your replicated earl grey.
Besides, anything that created that much power would be instantly weaponized.
The end of labor is to gain leisure.

Today is the last day of the sale ( I know….but it took me a while to pick out which hairs I wanted to get :D)
I like booN becasue they have unique hairs. The more elaborate hairs can be used for a special night out when you are dressed to the nines. Simpler updos can be used for a more casual look, or a tamer evening hair.

I just sent mine back to the online store I bought it from. They will replace it, and if they decide it is a warranty case, they will refund the shipping charges to me.
I asked them if they could test the replacement unit before shipping it, to avoid repeating the situation.
To be continued.....
|Oct 28, 2013, 04:19 PM
Just got word back from the store owner that he received my charger, and will be testing it tomorrow. Very curious towards his conclusions.
|Oct 29, 2013, 03:34 AM
A new charger is on the way for me, accepted as warranty issue.
Great service from Voltmaster.de!
|Nov 01, 2013, 04:53 AM
Replacement charger arrived yesterday. I tested charging only on output A so far, and it charges to 4.2V cell voltage as it should!
So: it can be done :-)

I know this is a old thread but is anybody using LiFe batteries on this charger. My Hitec X4 has a fixed discharge at 2v. Since I just started using the LiFe batteries the reference info I've found suggests a discharge no lower than 2.5v. Does the H4 let you change the minimum discharge voltage cutoff?

The discharge voltage is adjustable on the H4 and the default is 2.5v

Hi, I bought a charger Hitec h4, in the mode of storage is constantly discharged even when the cell voltage is 3.75 V.
When charging is by default set to 4.0 V / cell yet charged to 4.2 V / cell ...
Firmware is 1.02.
Today I am going to consult the problem with the seller.

Hi, so my charger had to howl replaced.
The replacement charger is charging correctly.
Today I received a voucher for Amain hobbies, it would cost me an I-charger 308 duo 240USD pity that I have not received it previously.
|Jun 13, 2014, 06:09 AM
OK got my H4 10days ago.
Got 1.02 firmware on it and exactly same problem with charging lipos.
finish at 85% 90% 73% whatever she likes ,showing worng voltage for cells and all up voltage.
So is that can be fixed by new firmware or have to send it back ?
|Jun 13, 2014, 06:20 AM
I really had to have mine swapped, firmware update didn't do anything to solve the problem.
Now I sometimes have a battery that stops charging at, say, 98%, but that is due to some bad balancer adapter. Because when I swap them, everything goes fine again.
|Jun 20, 2014, 06:25 AM
I got charger swapped also and first charging shows me 98% charge for lipo 4S FULL 16.82V ,when multimeter shows 16.62V
This is new charger ,but still got 1.02 firmware on it.
So sending this back second time = NO FUN !!

I guess I'll pass on this charger for now. I have the X4 but it is fixed on the LiFe discharge setting. I know about faking the discharge setting using the nimh setting, but I'd rather have a cycler that works right.
|Nov 02, 2014, 08:29 AM
Just thought I'd pop in to mention that I WAS eyeballing the Hitec H4 charger. But before I bought it I thought about it for a minute... I once was told how reliable and high quality Hitec servos were and then found out that just like when buying an automobile. Having a good warranty DOES NOT equal having a reliable car/product in every individual case. Sometimes it just equals more expense and more downtime which, IMO, isn't "reliable". So before i clicked buy on this H4 charger i decided to do some deep digging around the web and the only positive things i saw honestly were in white wash videos from hobby stores trying to sell this charger. I personally can't trust their opinion because they are just trying to show you something to sell you something and sometimes haven't even reviewed the product in practical use to know how it really works... Which is why i saw a lot of "This is a great, reliable, and powerful charger" narrative.
Once i got into the forums i found very upset people as recently as last month and going back all the way to 2013 on multiple forums..... WOW... Okay so i have lost ALL interest in this product because if they can't straighten out everything within a year without causing so many people to return their charger even this far after release. I just can't be bothered. Which was unfortunate because i thought this was the best charger for me until i did some thinking and realized that the Icharger 308DUO is more powerful at 1300W compared to H4's 480W total and the 308DUO has features like a servo tester, internal resistance monitor, bright color screen that flips up for easy viewing and i'm sure a few other things that the H4 doesn't have. Sure i loose two charging ports and the versatility of being able to charge a few different kinds of packs. But i mostly charge 6S packs and i don't mind doing two of them in parallel to even things out with what i am loosing by not having a 4 port charger. So I guess I'm saying it pays to do your research.
Unless a bunch of current owners want to change my opinion?

Any news about this charger at the moment??? The H4 is also on my list. I went to the local store this afternoon and the owner uses this charger without any problems. And now i see this tread about the H4.
