She has some awesome goals set and always wins my heart. Has great taste in guys. Don't listen to what the other jack-off put. Everybody loves Karen.
If you were to look up the word "amazing" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Karen.

The Greek name Karen means a pure and beautiful lady. Someone who is caring and kind. Is independent yet loving.
That girl is a perfect example of a Karen, I wish she were mine.

Karen is a girl beautiful inside and out, they know how to make your day just being a complete sweetheart. Their one of those types of people, you can see yourself being friends with a long time. They consider to be one of your best friends. Karens usually know how to get down on the dance floor. Their in love with music. They care a lot about other people no matter how much someone hurts them. They do their best to make everyone happy. Stronger than a lot of people. They have the biggest heart out there. Even if their days are going bad along with yours, they'll still find in their hearts to somehow be there for you. Karens are just plain wonderful. Their true friends, hard to find.

A girl who is totally gorgeous but is also crazy, so half the time she's an adorable joker who will make you laugh and smile. While the other half a sado-masochist who will drive you insane and make you want to slam your head into a wall...and punch babies.
Dude1: Man that girl is hot but she's so bi-polar!
Dude2: Yea man, she's such a Karen!
Dude2: Yea man, she's such a Karen!

Please do more research on this breed! Even in the temperament description above does it say that small children are not the best to have around when this breed is in the house. Although the BullMastiff is a loyal and loving dog, their size and excitable nature can easily knock a small child over. As for the heat, the dog should do fine as long as he/she is allowed cool/fresh water, shelter/shade when outdoors; allowed inside the house with A.C when it is really hot and not taken out in the middle of the day.4/29/2015 8:52:51 PM
Your vet should never be afraid of your dog. So one, get a new vet. Two, your Bullmastiff is showing signs of food/possession aggression. What you need to do is to find a positive reinforcement trainer as soon as possible to stop the behavior before it gets worse. A growl is a warning before a bite. If you feel confident on working with your dog alone, look up Dr. Yin's low-stress handling website and watch her video's on working with dogs with food/possession aggression using counter-conditioning.5/1/2014 12:21:35 AM
The Bull Mastiff's average height is 61 – 66 cm (Female, At the withers, Adult), 64 – 71 cm (At the withers, Adult, Male).7/9/2014 10:20:43 PM

Yes Bullmastiffs can. I am a breeder and have sold a couple just for cases similar to yours. One is a therapy dog for a young child that has seizures ad alerts when one is about to occur. Also had one that was owned by an older child with cancer. He never left his side and mad many trips to St. Judes. The last few months of the boys life that dog never left his side. I have a few pictures that was sent to me from him you can view on our facebook page under Paw and Nanas Bullmastiffs. If you have any other questions I would be glad to help.1/10/2014 4:58:46 PM
That's amazing. I'm an amputee. Can Bullmastiffs be trained and certified as a medical dog for an amputee so the Bullmastiffs puppy I pick can go anywhere with me?2/16/2015 3:55:13 PM
Any dog could be that way.It is because your friend has not met your dog and let your dog sniff him/her.Try introducing them to each other but have a leash on your dog just in case you have to pull him/her. 9/28/2013 3:43:36 PM

I have a french mastiff, and she drools if she sees food, or after she eats or drinks.Or if shes hot. they do drool and can not help it6/19/2013 1:45:06 AM
Both of my bullmastiffs drooled begging for food and when ridding in the car.10/21/2013 2:02:20 PM
My bully only drools when he is begging or after having a drink (the water just seems to drop out the sides of his big mouth). Otherwise he doesn't drool at all.1/7/2015 4:43:01 PM
If your dog is displaying a behavior that is out of the norm, a vet visit is in order. If the vet rules out a medical problem, then contact your local Positive Reinforcement trainer and/or your local Dog Behaviorist for advice/training.7/9/2014 10:22:02 PM
A reputable and qualified Bullmastiff breeder sells their puppies on average of $1000.00 - $2000.00 per puppy.7/9/2014 10:22:39 PM

Pedigree puppy chow with veggies. I have used this on several bully puppies with fantastic results. 5/28/2013 8:00:08 AM
Larger breed dogs like a bullmastiff needs a food made for larger breeds and their dietary needs. Any quality food the first ingredient need to be a meat product or a meat meal. They are growing at a fast rate and regular puppy food could cause them not to reach thier full potential. Search for a quality large breed puppy food.8/21/2013 3:01:15 PM
Brand isn't as important as the contents of the food for your dog. Do stay away from dog food that starts with 'corn' or has 'corn' in the next several ingredients listed. Bullmastiffs are very laid back dogs and they don't need extra calories and expecially not the extra carbs. We feed a food that is specified for large breed dogs.1/26/2014 10:26:02 PM

a two year old bullmastiff is not recommended for your young son because the dog at two will have acquired a character trait that your young son may not be able to control. again a two year old bullmastiff will require an adult experienced trainer to retrain it and get the dog and your son to work together, bullmastiffs need somebody who can excersice some form of contoll over them.10/2/2013 4:22:12 PM
You have posed a couple different questions. -Bullmastiffs are very dedicated to their families and especially the children. It would be really good if your son could go and visit this dog before it is brought to your home. This is just to let the dog get to know you and your son...I wouldn't expect any problem except this dog will miss his original family. It will take time and patience on your family's part and give him time. He will learn to love you all too. The other thing I noticed...you said he lived out in the country. Do you have a fenced yard for this dog? I am sure he will be wanting to go outside.1/26/2014 10:22:08 PM
Hi, My bullmastiff girl had this at about 9 mths too, took her to my vet and he diagnosed puppy acne - he advised it would clear itself and didn't need any medication (unless infected) although they were quite angry. I just kept her muzzle clean, popped a little propolis gel on and they did clear. As a side note, my first girl, never had this - so it is not a common to all bully problem, or really anything to be too worried about. Just keep an eye on it and keep clean ...10/8/2012 6:57:14 AM
Hello, I have owned/raised two mastiffs, and I must say they are one of the best breeds that I have experienced. Concerning the ears, my oldest mastiff's, Tuff, ears never sat forward regardless of how many times we taped them. Comparatively, Deuce's, my youngest mastiff, ears have always sat forward as they are supposed to according to breed standards. All efforts came up short becuase Tuff liked to have his ears back, and his ears fit his personality. In regards to bug bites and ticks, Tuff did not experience any undue consequences because of his ears. I hope this helps. And good luck with trying to get the ears to lay forward. 9/19/2012 9:06:32 AM
Hi I highly recommend pet insurance as it helps out a lot if something does go wrong. We just lost our female Bull Mastiff and it cost a small fortune as we didnt have it so yes for your own peace of mind get it.9/18/2012 9:45:41 PM
I would definitely recommend it! We have an 11 month old bullmastiff and at about 8 months he started limping. It ended up being ununited aconeal process. We had to take him to OSU for surgery. It ended up being thousands of dollars. It's genetic and they say when it happens in one elbow it normally happens in all! So far we have seen no signs of it in his other legs. Insurance would have paid for all but $100 if we had it!!! 10/6/2012 4:59:59 AM
Bull mastiffs love to be around people, doggy daycare or hiring a dog walker would be a good idea.9/22/2012 11:33:44 PM
Ask your vet. Also, as a large breed the correct food is so important - Alpo is not a high quality food. Try Blue or Natural Balance ~ We fed our Bull mastiff 4 cups of food daily - 2 cups in AM and 2 cups in PM.9/16/2012 12:18:27 PM
If you are looking at getting a purebred bullmastiff from a registered breeder, then be prepared to pay up to $2000. I have a 6 month old purebred bullmastiff which I got from a reputable breeder with many years of experience. When I picked him up at 8 weeks he was vet checked, hip and elbow scored, micro chipped and vaccinated. Do your research, a purebred although very expensive, is worth it as they are bred properly for temperament which is what you want in such a large breed.9/13/2012 1:57:49 AM
Go to the beach early and leave by 9am. Bull mastiff's are prone to heat stroke, but by providing shelter and having water available at all times he should be good in the early morning and early evenings. Socialization is very, very important! 9/16/2012 12:22:06 PM

Bullmastiffs are known for being excellent family dogs, provided they are raised properly! We had a bullmastiff when two of our children were toddlers, and she was wonderful with them. We were never concerned about our children's safety. 8/23/2012 9:06:48 PM
We have a 1/3 bull mastiff x 1/4pitbull mix and she's wonderful with my 5 yr old. Never had any issues, they play together and cuddle all the time. My dog realizes her size and is very gentle with out daughter.9/5/2012 2:53:41 PM
Hi I have a 1 yr old bullstiff and he is the most wonderful dog I've ever had. Yes they are good with children if you teach them at a going a age. I have a 3 yr old daughter and he loves her more than anyone else in the house. He has knocked her over several times on accident but he is so loyal and loving I recommend this type of breed - they are absolutely wonderful.9/12/2012 10:34:55 AM
They are great with children. I had a 150 bull mastiff and a new born. When she was young, he would just sniff her and lay by her crib. As she began to crawl he would lay there as she tugged on his ears and lips. The older she got the closer they became. They would just follow each other around. Of course, make sure you teach your mastiff that your 5 year old is one of their leaders and that the mastiff must abide by what your child says. 9/19/2012 9:11:57 AM
Yes, both my dogs nap a lot especially my bully12/1/2012 12:49:31 AM
Mine too!!!!!!! She also isn't to playful 8/4/2012 1:38:35 PM
that can be normal. you can't go for very far and I would recommend making it fun for her. get crazy happy to get her going. use treats as well to get her to heel and coax her to walk. I HIGHLY recommend obedience classes as well. that will definately help with this. 8/5/2012 10:30:58 AM
If you walk them too far they will get tired easily 9/9/2012 9:03:26 AM
My bully has gotten lazy too! I really have to encourage him to keep up to me on our walk.9/22/2012 11:37:55 PM
They are creatures of ahbot just like us. It is best to have a dedicated area for her to go in. Make it "#1" friendly for her to go in all the time. Or if you are really against her going in the same spot, train her to go elsewhere. String cheese is a great way to get her to go elsewhere. Take her out to a different area tell her "potty" and when she goes, give her the treat of cheese. 8/5/2012 10:36:09 AM
i have an 18 month old bull mastiff dog , a 14 year old german shepherd and 4 cats ( 2 5years old , 1 12months old and 1 10 weeks old) the only problem with my dog and the cats is feed them seperatley and becarful when she trys to play with the cat because they are a bit thick lol, they dont realise their own size and sometime tread on them playing. but i would never change him for the world he is a gentle giant9/4/2012 7:22:30 AM
Teach her ASAP to be kind to the cat. My bully always chased the cat, but wouldn't hert her tho, sometimes I'd spray my bully with water to teach him to leave the cat alone!9/22/2012 11:42:32 PM
Our 2 and a half year old Bullmastiff bitch recently had a cruciate ligament rupture - we took her to a well reputed VET, specialising in the large breeds, and had a proper x-ray to confirm her condition. Operation is quite costly, but she's a child to us, so we paid with a smile!!6/7/2012 9:06:47 AM
My 5 yr old is limping too. Very suddenly. Didn't see her get hurt. She does have a bum knee too. Im not sure what's happening with front paw. Im worried. 10/13/2013 3:33:37 AM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Bullmastiff breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Pretty in Patchwork: Holidays
36 comments:
You've touched a lot of hearts with this fantastic collection! I love your work, and have been waiting quite impatiently for it to come out. I even went to Amazon to see if I could pre-order it, but it's not there yet. I will be getting it one way or another!

esclante at comcast dot netHi John
Newbie question for ya (I'm a beginner to patchwork and to e readers!) - I've just bought your book from Zinio and I want to make the harvest vine table runner. How do I get the templates out of the e book ? The reader software doesn't indicate whether the screen is displaying @ 100% and printing appears to be disabled in the Zinio reader software. Am I to trace it off my computer screen? Could you possibly email me a PDF of the pattern piece for the harvest vine @ 100% of the size?
Thanks so much for your help! It's a great book - I'm very much looking forward to getting stuck into the patterns.

The iron chicken on its star sees her and flaps over and collects her, scoops her up and carries her back to its star. The Clangers are even more alarmed. They wonder what will become of her. Tiny Clanger is very pleased. She greets the chicken as an old friend and gives it the jewel. They drink tea and chat interstellar small-talk. The chicken goes below and fetches her a small iron hat, with aerial and earpiece. It is their personal radio communicator.

LAUREL, MARYLAND -- On June 4Th contacted Lowe's about my air conditioner. I was told we needed a new furnace and heat pump. A few days later a salesman from Lowe's and another man who said he was with Trane came to our house. I am 65 in very poor health and need air conditioning for COPD, heart problems, etc. my wife is 73 and we have our house up for sale since July and have a contract on it. On June 12Th or the 13Th the furnace and heat pump cost us $5482.00. Prior to signing the contract my wife did not go over the full content of the sales assessment or sale sheet. We put $500 on a debit card, $3030 on our Lowe's credit card and the rest on our Capital One credit cards. I am on a small social security, when I was declared disable in 2007. My wife has a small pension from the Federal Gov't. We signed the forms believing everything was on the up and up. On one of the forms it said reuse lines and in another space it read reuse/flush existing lines. We were under the impression that everything was good to go. On August 24Th, 2012 I went to my family room and water was slouching in my carpet. My wife called All Pro who installed the furnace and heat pump made an appointment and a friend of ours said you have a leak get a plumber. My wife called All Pro back and cancelled the service call. I contacted a Plumber Fred and Son and he was at my house in 40 minutes. He cut a piece out of the ceiling and the ceiling was dry he cut a piece of dry wall from the wall where the pipes are and he saw the water coming back in from the condensation line. He said you need to flush the line and have it snaked out. He charged us $120 for the service call. I then went to the phone book and called Michael and Son's they came out and charged us $89 for a service charge and they said the same as Fred did. I looked at All Pro Services bill and it said heating and air conditioning also plumbing and fitters. I called back All Pro and asked a lady name Louise to send someone out and was sorry for the mix up. A service man showed up looked at the wall and the leak and stated we don't do that kind of work, his name was Jerry. I said to him how in the hell am I going to sell this house to a lady who put a contract on it. I will loose the house. He said I do not get into those kind of issues. I called my realtor and put her on a speaker phone and he walked into another room. At this point it cost $209 for two estimates I called Lowe's on several occasions and all I got was from them someone will call you back. This was on a Thursday from 10:00am til 4:00pm then I asked for the Corporate Office I must have spoke to 12 different service providers. I called All Pro Services back and asked to speak to Bill he is busy call back. An hour later I called and was told to send him a fax so I went to Staples and sent him a fax, still no reply. On Friday I called All Pro Services again and a lady named Laura told me Bill was out of the office. I called back 2 hours later and was told by some man that Bill was busy.
Finally I called the Lowe's store back and spoke to an assistant Manager and he told me he discussed this with his Manager Frank and he provided me with a claim number and a phone number and to call the next day. On the 26Th I called and was transferred to the legal department and spoke to a John [snip] who was not polite or how are etc. in a business. I asked him about the claim number I submitted to him and his reply was "it was denied". I told him my situation about my house and that the work was not done properly then Lowe's and All Pro Services should stand behind there work and word.
I was so up set I could not do anything that day and passed out from the aggravation and my blood pressure was 188/108, I was in bed 402-A at Laurel Hospital as my wife had to call 911.
I was released from the hospital 21/2 days later and I called the store again and spoke with a Donna who gave me a new complaint number. I can and John got on the phone and I told him I have a new claim number and he said I am denying that. I asked if he was a lawyer, a heating and air conditioning person, a plumber and electrician and he said no to all of them. I asked him then how do you know who to approve and not to approve. I have contacted the BBB, in Washington, DC area 2 TV channels 7 on your side and McGinty's mailbag on channel 9. I have also posted on Angie's List, Consumer Complaint Agency. My home insurance is not paying for a plumber but is replacing all my carpet, paint the entire family room, had a restoration company to bring in large fans and a dehumidifier til Tuesday. Not only did I pay the $120, the $89, the $250 deductible plus $503 to the plumber and $25 to Consumer Complaint agency. I called Lowe's credit card Company GE money and told them I am disputing my balance on my bill. If the Corporate office is willing to reimburse me $989 for what I have paid out of pocket I will be glad to pay the balance of my bill.
ST. MARY'S, GEORGIA -- It is impossible to put into words how angry and helpless I feel towards the Lowes company. I am speaking of the huge hardware chain, the company that sponsors Jimmy Johnson in Nascar, that Lowes.
Last year my wife and I, were shopping in our local Lowes store, in St. Mary's Georgia. We were walking down an aisle and my foot was caught up in some plastic wrap that was left behind when the pallet was removed. The plastic wrap was sticking out into the aisle and was weighed down by a bag of fertilizer. After the fact it looked as though an employee had taken the last bag of fertilizer off of the pallet, leaving it in the aisle on top of the entire piece of plastic wrap that had originally been wrapped around the whole pallet of fertilizer. The plastic wrap was bunched up under the fertilizer but plenty was sticking out from under it.
My foot had gotten caught in it, and stopped very abruptly, I was pushing a basket and fell so fast that I did not have time to soften the fall with my hands. I fell directly on my tailbone, lower back. The pain I experienced was extreme, I could not move, it was a scary experience, I felt pain throughout my entire lower half of my body. At least 10 Lowes employees gathered around me, trying to make me comfortable as I lay on my side. My wife sat by me holding my hand in shock. An ambulance came and put me on a gurney and wheeled me out to the ambulance. It was the most painful ride of my life, they belted me down on my back, gave me an I. V. and a shot for the pain, it did not help at all. the E. M.T. put a mask on my face and told me to breathe in as hard as I could and whatever I was breathing in would help with pain, it did not, but it did make me drowsy. They drove me to a hospital 45 miles away. We arrived at the hospital where the doctors took a quick look at me and sent me for x-rays, after giving me some pain medication. It felt like forever, they took every x-ray known to mankind, it was horrific, I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy.
After the hospital stuff, I was referred to Brunswick Brain and Spine Clinic. I went through numerous spinal injections to try to relieve the pain I was feeling. I had numerous MRI's and other tests, this went on for months. I was being medicated with morphine, klonipin, oxycotton, suboxone, and multiple other drugs. I am unable to bathe myself, or anything else that require's a back and legs. Finally, the neurologist suggested that I get a surgically implanted Spinal Stimulator to get relief of my pain. We set the date and it was done. A Spinal stimulator is a lead wire that is attached to your spine, about 3/4's of the way up your spine, it is attached with hardware that can never be removed. The wire then comes down your spine, of course under your skin, it is connected to the stimulator and battery, that is implanted in your flesh, a lot of cutting of skin is involved with this operation not to mention the risk of being paralyzed. I now have a controller that I can control the power output of the stimulator. The stimulator is supposed to block pain signals from the brain. Today I go to a pain management doctor every month, to be monitored, I am still on morphine and other powerful drugs to help with pain. And will have extreme pain for the rest of my life, there is not anything left worth trying for pain relief. I have a wife and 3 children, my wife had a stroke 18 years ago and cannot move her right side of her body. Lucky family aren't we.
I don't sleep, I cannot drive, I cannot, nor ever will I be able to get an erection again, I could go on forever, you get the picture. I am on Social Security Disability, I receive $1200 a month, I am 5% of the man I was before Lowes.
I did get a lawyer to get what I could out of Lowes, what is your life worth? My lawyer called me today, 12-7-2012, Lowes offered me $15,000.......... That don't even cover half my bills, I guess I will have to sue them. In my opinion Lowes is a pathetic company, unwilling or unable to care about their customers, On my mothers grave, I swear Lowes will feel my pain. All I want is to provide for my family, we will lose our house, we have lost our vehicle, if it were not for my family I would be gone from this Hell. All I ask is for your prayers that Lowes stands up and does the humane thing, and compensate me for their mistake that ruined my families world.
If anyone knows of an organization that could help me, make Lowes, compensate me for all they have taken from me please contact me.
Thank You,
BRISTOL, VIRGINIA -- On the Lowes Website, the Bristol Lowes has the James Hardee Cedarmill Lap Siding, Item # 26892 for $1.83. I wanted to buy 138 pieces, however the Bristol store only have four pieces and refuse to sell anymore than four pieces at the sale price. They have more of the same identical item in stock, but they refuse to sell it to me at that price. The sale ad did not say that this item is discontinued, or limited quantity. I contacted the Corp office and they basically told me that they did not have to honor their ads. Now they have replaced that ad. It is identical ad except now the board is on sale until July 15th, 2014. Why are they advertising and extending the sale date for a product they refuse to sale?
POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK -- I was a Project Specialist for Exteriors for Lowe's in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was fired on May 16th 2014. I feel there was a grave injustice given to me because of some vendetta that the Store Manager Christian had for me. My sales were always in the top 3 in the market. My closing ratio was 30% my sales were over 89% of plan YTD. My margin was 29%. In 2012 my year started in June and I ended up with $459,000 in sales for the Lloyd and Poughkeepsie stores. In the full year in 2013 I had sales of $690,000 for two stores. For 2014 I was already at $247,000. That's over 1.3 Million in sales as a PSE.
I enjoyed working for Lowe's. I was proud to work for Lowe's. I started out as a part timer in the flooring dept. I had my own business and wanted to have a full time position in the winter when my Mobile detailing business would be slow. After the season was over I applied to a position down in building materials as a full timer. In January of the following year I became a traveling PSA. In this position I was responsible for building displays and doing the plan-o-grams for the area market stores. I worked at this position for 3 months and was asked by the store manager in Poughkeepsie, David to apply for the PSE position. I researched it and decided to apply. I secured the position as a PSE for the Lloyd store and the Poughkeepsie store. There was not much training. The first week I went to another store and trained with the PSE in Chester. I was there only a couple of days. I didn't learn much because the PSE in Chester didn't do much. He was playing video games on his computer. I decided to come back to Poughkeepsie and go out with Mark Simpson who was the PSE I replaced. From the beginning I learned the price sheets were not followed too closely by our contractors. There were always additional charges that cost either the customer more or less margin for me.
Unfortunately I learned from the mistakes I made. I had one customer order windows and an install that I sold. The contractor went out to measure and when he gave me the measurements, it didn't indicate if it was a rough opening or exact. I didn't know the difference then. I ordered the windows and they came in ½ inch too big. The customer cancelled the sale and the Lloyd store was left with the windows to sell at a deep discount. After this I now understood the difference between rough opening and exact opening. I talked with the contractors to only provide me with the exact opening so this would not happen again.
Another mistake I made was when I ordered a couple of trapezoidal shaped windows. I measured from inside and designed the window that way. The windows came in and they were wrong because the manufacturer builds the window from outside dimensions. The windows that came in were the exact opposite of what I needed. We took a loss on those windows. We reordered them and everything was fine.
Other mistakes that were made were from a result of the fence contractor not giving me a list of materials from his detail. He always refused to go and detail a job as he is expected to do. Our one fence contractor came from Matamoras, PA. Then the next contractor came from Saugerties. I can understand why they didn't want to come out just to measure. But I still needed a list of materials for the job so I could order the right materials. Many times this was not provided to me. I sold a chain link fence and after not receiving a detail, I figured out what we needed and ordered all the materials. I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out what I needed all the brackets, and bolts, and bars, top rails and line posts and end posts and gates and gate posts. All the materials were to be in black. I spent so much time trying to get it all right I forgot the simple thing like cement. Everything was delivered to the customer and the contractor called upset because there was no cement on the job to install. He had to make a trip to the store to get the cement needed for the install. As a result of this it tarnished our relationship. I asked the install manager that they double check my order for these things and if the guy that was loading these for delivery would use common sense to notify us if he saw a fence for an install but did not see cement he should notify someone. From the very beginning I had issues with certain contractors. In Poughkeepsie we used Mid Hudson Fence for installing fences. They would give me a list of materials that included much more than what was needed for the job. At the end of one of the jobs we had two pallets of materials that had to be returned to the store and refunded to the customer resulting in a lower margin on the sale. This contractor also told me he uses Lowe's to keep his guys busy in the slow times. In the busy times he was putting my customers off for 2 months which was unacceptable to me, so I stopped using him.
There was one incident where I sold windows in a basement. When the contractor went out he was charging an additional cost per window to remove the frame out of the concrete surrounding it. This was an additional $450. I didn't realize that this was something that had to be done. I never had any training on this. I learned by making mistakes. I was written up for this because the store took the loss. It wasn't a loss it was a reduction in margin.
There was another time with a fence sale where the contractor asked for more money after the fact because there was a hard dig. The area below the soil was full of boulders. The expense was an additional $1000 that caused my sale to lose money and I was written up because of this. Apparently I should have known there was a hard dig and charged for it. My manager told me to add an additional $1000 to all the fence proposals because we didn't know if the contractor would charge us for a hard dig or not. As a result of this my fence sales declined because we were no longer competitive in the market. We were getting beat by Adams fence almost every time. But I didn't know what the contractor was going to ask for after the job was done. He refused to go out and detail the jobsite after the sale as he is under contract to do.
Then the last one was a job to do siding on an old hotel, converted into a camp that was now owned by the Seventh Day Adventists. For this job I went to the site and measured, did my drawings and sent everything to a contractor to do a second measure and a list of materials and the labor that he would want for the job. After this I was able to create the estimate. Although the price was higher than her other bids she went with Lowe's because of me and the reputation of Lowe's. We ordered all the materials and when they all came in the contractor wanted to meet with me at the site to go over the job. I asked my install manager to come with me, because I was expecting an issue. The contractor looked at the job and asked me about how the windows would be finished off. He said we are putting the j channel on the edge of the concrete and then the camp would paint the concrete around the edge of the windows. I said no we are wrapping the windows and doors. He started to give me more materials that he would need to do the project. The customer wanted to have the wires that were exposed under the deck of the second floor boxed in so they would not show. The customer thought this was all included. I never discussed this except to say we could probably do something to hide the wires, I would let her know. After this meeting with everybody I found out that the contractor now wanted an additional $4800 in materials and another $10000 for the labor. Paul one of the ASM's was able to get him to do it for $6000 additional labor. As a result of this, the job became unprofitable and I forfeited my commission. I was also written up on this and this became my final warning. The final warning meant that if I had another error within a year that I would be separated from the company and terminated. I was not able to transfer, to another store, to ask to have a different position in the store. It just seemed to me that he wanted me out of the store and out of Lowe's.
That termination came on May 16th. There was a customer of the store that ordered a fence install and wanted the Arborley panel we sell for $45.00 a panel. After waiting almost two weeks after the sale for a detail from the contractor, I figured out the materials myself and ordered everything. The customer called and was upset that the install was taking so long, so when the merchandise came in the contractor came to the store and picked it up. He told the customer that there were 4x4x8 posts missing. But I sold the 5x5x8 vinyl posts that did not need 4x4x8 wood posts. The customer called the store and said this was not what he ordered. I told him it was exactly what he ordered. He said he wanted the fence to look like his neighbors. He told me he wanted the fence panel that was priced at $45.00. I pointed it out to him in the book when I sold it and he said yes that's what he wants. Apparently what he meant to say is that's what he wants to pay for it but he wants the better fence like his neighbor for the price of the one we stock. Here's a little background on this customer. I have been to his house 3 times. Once for a fence, once for a deck and once for an HVAC quote. Each time turned out to be a waste of time. He also has been caught stealing in the store by me and our LP. The customer was asked not to come back to the store. But he still showed up in my project tool for a fence. I told him he could come in for a refund and he could go to Home Depot and buy his fence. This is what I was fired for. I never stole anything, no sexual harassment, customers loved me, everybody in the store saw me as a hard worker, and for this I was fired. People who were fired for stealing, doing drugs, all have the same in their file. Fired from Lowe's
I am also a customer of Lowe's and have spent a lot of money in the store. As long as Chris is manager in the store I will not be a customer of Lowe's. I will now be a customer of Home Depot.
He motivates everybody with fear. I don't motivate this way. I get motivated by positive reinforcement. If I feel I am appreciated I work harder. You can't manage individuals all the same, you have to find out what motivates them and use that. Let's face it most of the people working at Lowe's is there making between $9.00 and $15.00 an hour. They have to feel appreciated to want to come to work. I feel he wants people that can't think for themselves, just do what he says. You talk to any of the employees that have been there a while and they all are afraid of their jobs. There has been a lot of turnover in the store. Many employees left to go to the Lloyd store so they wouldn't have to work with [Chris]. My original ASM Jason transferred out of the store because of him. Jason and I worked well together. He went out on calls with me like he is supposed to. My current ASM has never gone out with me. When he left it became difficult to work with Chris.
When I was written up on final I asked for a copy of the letter I signed and he refused to give it to me. Paul was my witness to this. He was the ASM that sat in with us. I later found out from the NYS Dept of Labor that I am entitled to anything I signed in my folder. I also found out that if I signed something it was not agreeing with what was on it, but agreeing I received a copy. I would like a copy of everything I signed in my folder.
MONACA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I went to Lowes on June 5th at 4 pm to meet with a commercail sales employee and go over the order for a new front porch. While going over order the employee explained that he didn't know much about the "hidden link" as it just came in a few weeks ago and he hadn't had time to go over it but told us that was what we would need to hide the screws on the decking. He told us that they didn't make vinyl railings that go out at a 45* angle and tried to help us figure out a way to rig it to make it work. About 1/2 hour later, while going through designs for columns he finds the railings that we needed. He went to ring us out, and I told him that I had a gift card that I wanted to use. Too late he had already put it on my charge. He refunded and re-rang, but did it as a carry out, so once again we had to go through the whole order process. He told us the wholeorder would be delivered on June 12th. On June 4th at 4:30 pm, I called commercial sales employee to tell him that I needed to make a few changes to my order.
I needed to replace the 10' railing with a 6' railing and I also needed to change the design of the columns. He said it wasn't a problem and I asked him to call me back with the credited amount. He called back on June 6th in the late evening to get my socail security number to run the changes through and said that he would call me with the difference, which he never did. The order was delivered on June 12th. The delivery drivers dropped all of the wood on the grass at the edge of the side walk. My 56 year old mother and I had to move the wood so no one would trip over it. I noticed that 4 of the 20' ChoiceDek decking boards were damaged and called the person dealing with the order right away. He said that they would pick them up on their next trip out. That is the point that he told me that the columns were not in. When the drivers came back, I asked them about the railings. They hadn't a clue as to what I was talking about and said that there were no railings on their delivery sheet. I called Lowes back and it was at that time that he told me that they were on back order from the company. I said that he told me the entire order was to be delivered in the 12th and that I had someone that had taken a week off of work to help us out and now he didn't have anything to do without the railings. Saturday, the deck was to be started when it was realized that 12 of the boards that were ordered were not supposed to be treated, they were just to hold up the roof. So, in a truck with a 6 foot bed, the person that was building the deck had to bring back 12 footers that were hanging out of the back of his truck. When he went to return them they gave him a hassle about crediting my account. They finally did. On Monday, June 15th, I stopped in at Lowes and spoke to a female (one of the store managers). She told me that the railings would be in on Thursday the 18th and she assured me that they would call and set up a delivery that morning, and she would also give us 10% off of our or
der for all of the issues that we had delt with and would also refund us the delivery charge. I called her later that evening to see is she could possibly go through the damaged boards and see if there was just one that we could use. We could use the in store boards for the rest. She would call me back... She never called. Thursday, the 18th no one callsabout delivery. I called them at 9:15am and spoke to another male(I think) in commercial sales. He goes over all of the delivery schedules for the day and we are not on the list. I explained to him the story and he said that he would check into it that our order was not in. He also said that he would check on the decking boards. Someone called my home and spoke to my mother and told her that the whole order would be there tomorrow the 19th. I called back and spoke to a male (store manager) and told him that that wasn't good enough, I was promised that my order would be there today and I am paying someone $200.00 per day to do this job. And the 10% off that the other manager had offered was
just going to cover the 2 days that he has been at my house with nothing to do. He would not give me any more than 10% off and told me that I would need to call the 1-800 number after I asked for the corporate offices phone number. He said that the decking boards were in and I wanted clarification that it was indeed the new boards and not the old boards. He assured me it was the new boards. I said that I expected to not be charged for the new boards. He agreed to that. At 4pm, I called and spoke to employee to set up a pick up on some items that were not needed. And asked him about the truck that was supposed to be delivering our items. He said that it had not come in yet.. I said well it's kind of funny considering the work day is almost over. He said as soon as the truck gets back today that I will have my order. It is now 7:42 pm and I still haven't received my shipment. Now 2:25 am the next day, still not shipment
This is for all Lowe's employees, past, present and future. Three years ago I was promoted to district manager, so I figured I would offer my thoughts concerning what I read on this site in reference to the operations of the company.
First of all, I would say that I have never been a part of a more hypocritical company than Lowe's. For a company that preaches that excellent customer service is the foundation upon which we are built, the executive management team sure doesn't take the proper measures in delivering on their promise. See theres something that people need to understand when dealing with the executives in the corporate office (and yes, I have met them all). It really is just about them. They will run the company any way they need to in order to claim their enormous bonuses and absurd stock options. They don't care about a single employee because all you are to them is an expense. They will lay off the most talented and skilled employee in the company the instant that its in their best interest. Believe me ladies and gentlemen, this is how we work.
Now I have always considered myself to be a benevolent dictator, and that's how I choose to manage the 13 stores I am responcible for. This means that my employees are people first. They have a wife and kids to go home to the same as I do. When I want something to be done, I address my employees with respect. See folks, one of the big problems we as a company are faced with is that the members of executive management have very narrow minds when it comes to how they run the company, and believe me, they HATE to be told they are wrong. They preach an open door policy where they say suggestions are welcomed, and while that sounds great in theory, that's not how they actually think. Trust me, you're going to do things their way, or you'll soon be unemployed.
I'll share with you an example. This past year the company changed the bonus structure of the store managers and zone managers in all of the stores. Without going into great detail, the bonuses are now smaller. Now I ask...does anyone think anyone in the corporate office took a bonus reduction? Take a wild guess.
Well anyway ladies and gentlemen, that's about all I have. I thought maybe this would help open some eyes to how Lowe's as a company operates. Obviously, I can never give my real name out, but I'd be happy to help anyone that has questions or just wants to speak out. I check this site a lot, so feel free. Unlike many of them, this district manager actually wants to help employees feel better about themselves and their jobs. If I ever get high enough in the company, you better believe some changes are on the way
Stone Systems installed Sensa granite in our kitchen purchased through Lowe's. They initially installed the granite pattern going in all different directions. It was like someone cut the pieces with their eyes closed. Also, we were told there would be one seam in the kitchen and there are two. After much arguing with the company, they redid the direction of the granite so that the direction of the pattern of the granite was improved. However, they left a seam so large that it sticks out like a sore thumb and they also installed a piece with a very large chip in the front of it. It was such a nightmare dealing with them that I gave up.
After being upset for months I contacted Lowe's again to see what could be done. After asking Lowe's for help to get the vendor to improve the look of their work, the vendor finally sent out two repairmen. The same two that installed the granite. They cut out the chip filled with epoxy and replaced it with another chip of granite and then took a marker to make it look like part of the slab. They then refused to try to fix the seam and when Lowe's (who was at the house during this repair) told them that was what they were here to do, they ran out to their truck and called their manager without telling us and out of no where she shows up to protect repairmen and argue with me that this is the best job they could do. She also asked us if we had previously called for a service call on the chip. In other words, trying to make it look like we chipped it and asked them to fill it in. It was installed like that, shockingly. They will argue with you and make you feel like you are an idiot. I was told last week that they would go back to their plant and look for a color match on the granite and call me on Tuesday.
It's Thursday now and no word from them. They were supposed to pull the granite out and smooth out the seam and put it back in. This is the best that we could get them to do. This hassle cost me $3,000. Save yourself the hassle and make sure that the granite that Lowe's or any body else sells you is not Sensa.
FARMINGDALE, NEW YORK -- I have been dealing with Lowe's and some of their competitors for many years. One of the aspects of any business that impresses me the most is sound and accurate customer service, returning phone calls and following up on defective products such that the customer is not sitting at home with a non functioning product for an unreasonable amount of time. My experience with Lowe's is that they never dismiss a customer or send him reeling all over the place to other departments that create confusion as the trail goes on. If you have a product issue with Lowe's they will follow policy but solve it as quickly as possibly so you are not burdened with an aggravating situation at home. While Lowe's stores are well appointed, cheery and bright, stocked with any home improvement product you would want, I cannot say this about some of the others I have dealt with. A few days ago I switched my entire account to Lowe's, they have earned my business.
AMES, IOWA -- The garden center is loaded with Japanese Beetles laying eggs for you to take home with the plant you are buying to wreak havoc on your garden, lawn etc. Then they get to sell you the insecticide to TRY and get rid of the Japanese Beetle. They do not care about what damage it is causing you, they are making money from this.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- 1) Appliance Heros came on June 18! They were suppose to get the parts within 3 days. That means Friday or Monday June 20th or 22nd. They did not call me at all. I called them on Monday and they said it would come on Tuesday. No call from them. I called back again, they said on Tuesday it did not come in. Wednesday rolls around, no call from them. I call them and they tell me it finally came. Fine sure I'm being patient it happens. Because it's so late already they say they can come on Friday June 27. Finally they come on Friday. By now it's been 9 days. The technician can't fix it, he says it's the main board that's defective. He calls his supervisor and says the part is defective the family has been without a fridge for a week, can we expedite the order? The supervisor says yes ok I'll get it ordered and expedited.
2) I call on Monday June 30th to Appliance Repair Heroes. First they put me on hold and tell me the parts department is busy. Then after 1 hr I call back and say I'm still waiting. This woman named Lisa Desoux answers and tells me my part is due in on Wednesday. I get very upset as they promised expediting it on Monday. Now we're promised delivery by July 2nd (2 days before July 4th) I call Lowe's and am very upset. I told them I need it expedite it's going to be 4th of July and I need my fridge. I tell Lowe's that it is unacceptable I want my refrigerator fixed. Lowe's tell me sorry Appliance Heroes are closed. I tell Lowes the story and they say they can't do anything until they contact Appliance Heroes. Still nothing from either businesses. Finally I get a call on Tuesday from Appliance Heroes saying that they cannot expedite it but want to schedule me in for Wednesday or Thursday. Appliance Repair Heroes tells me that they will try to get it to me and asks me for more flexibility. I tell them I can have someone home all day. Appliance Repair Heroes says great. On July 3rd, now it has been more than 15 days. I call them on July 3rd to ask what time they are coming, they said oh we're coming between 3-5 from what you told us originally. Ok what the heck?! I asked my family to stay home so you could have flexibility to come earlier! Ridiculous. Ok fine, I wait until 3-5, the technical comes over still can't fix the fridge, tells me that he will get his office to fax the paper in when he gets back. I call Lowe's and they tell me that they cannot accept my paper and need to contact Appliance Repair Heroes. Guess what?! As I said before I told Lowe's it's cutting too close to July 4th.
3) Now instead of accepting a copy of the paperwork from me so that you can replace my refrigerator, you want to call the Appliance Repair Heroes and get back to me in two business days.
4) Now I have been without a fridge for 19 days. By Tuesday July 8th it will have been 20 days! I am completely unsatisfied with your service.

Don�t look now, but there�s a growing group of voices on both the left and right of the political spectrum questioning the theory that America is facing a debt crisis and must fight it with economic austerity.
Consider THIS:The two parties are miles apart on how to cut the deficit and national debt: Republicans want to slash spending even more. Democrats want to raise revenue.
And then there are the other Democrats � the ones who reject the entire premise of the current high-stakes fiscal fight. There�s no short-term deficit problem, they say, and there isn�t even an ...

Playstation Officially Announces PS4
Posted 28 February 2013 - 04:51 PM
Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:30 PM
I just saw one of the PS4 games on pre-sale I guess on amazon and it is listed at $100. WOW. That may be where they are gonna make up the difference in money from the console price.
That's just a holder price tag, they did the same thing with quite a few games for the Wii U last year.
The Backwards Compatibility thing doesn't bother me. I never used it on the original PS3 models when they came out with it included.
Also Knack looked crazy with all the pieces of knack being actually displayed, especially when he explodes.

How has no one mentioned the 8GB GDDR5 RAM yet??? That's huge!
when did that come out?
Posted 02 March 2013 - 04:21 PM
when did that come out?
It's on the spec sheet, unified memory for video, and processing so the console can push however much it needs to whatever side and not be as limited as previous consoles. That's what's making the PS4 have the ability to actually play a game while you're downloading it, or suspend a game and power on the console and be brought right back to where you left off....Xbox "720" is rumored to also have 8GB of memory, but it's GDDR3 I believe.....

Just praying ps4 gets cross game voice chat so I can hopefully make the switch the back to playstation

Sony: DualShock 4 light bar can change your mood when gaming in the dark
Everyone is focused so much on the DualShock 4′s light bar being used simply as a built-in Move controller working in tandem with the new camera peripheral for PS4. Scott Rohde, Senior VP Sony World Wide Studios, jumped onto the PlayStation Blog this past week and talked about a new way that games might use the light bar and a dark room to influence the player's mood while gaming.
Playing games in the dark versus a well lit room depends heavily on the game being played. With Move and Kinect gaming, well lit areas are ideal for the cameras. What playing in the dark does for other games is allow it to immerse the player into the game by blacking out the real world around the tv. Who would have thought that the light bar on the new DualShock 4 could be used to color that dark space in front of the player to influence things like their mood while gaming. Rohde paints this picture pretty well:
A lot of gamers, myself included, like to play in some dimly lit rooms. And when you're playing a game and the whole area around you changes color slightly based on what that light bar is doing, it's not something you're staring at and your expecting, but it changes your mood and it changes the way you feel when, whatever it is, when you fire a button, when you step into an area where you are in a cold blue area – think about Journey. You're in a cold blue area, and then you move into more of an orangey earth tone – a warm area. And that controller is coming with you.
When the whole room around you is sort of suddenly changing from the blues and greens into the oranges and yellows, you might not really even know what's happening, but your whole sense of immersion is definitely greater. It's a really good thing. I get really excited about that color bar.
I help but imagine a character like Nathan Drake traversing an underwater level while the controller is illuminating the space in front of me with a fluctuating blue ambient light effect. Then coming out of the water and engaging in all sorts of explosions and gun play while the light bar flashes and pops all sorts of reds and oranges, effectively surrounding me in the warm light of the in-game explosions.
In addition to this light show experience, the new speaker in the DualShock 4 will bring near field audio to the player (a la Wii Remote). Those gunshots from Drake's own pistol popping off, the shells hitting the floor around the feet of your Killzone character, or the zombie bite from behind will all be something new to PlayStation gamers and developers will quite literally have their hands full.

Westbrook aims to stay controlled against Chicago
Cubs' Jackson hot of late, shoots for third consecutive victory
Cubs manager Dale Sveum has a few explanations for the Cardinals' success this season. The most important? Throwing strikes and limiting walks, which Jake Westbrook will look to do Wednesday against Chicago.
"It's something you preach and something you try to get to in the organization -- throw strikes, you'll win a lot of games," Sveum said. "And if you hit .340 with men in scoring position, you'll win a lot of games and be 20 over."
Westbrook is making his second start since coming off the disabled list, and eighth start this season for St. Louis. In his first start back from injury, he allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits over five innings in a 5-4 loss to the Marlins on Friday. He'll take on Edwin Jackson on Wednesday.
"I made good pitches and got a lot of ground balls," Westbrook said. "A lot of them found holes, but if I keep them hitting balls on the ground and making guys mishit balls, I'll be better off more time than not. I just need to let my defense work behind me."
Westbrook will make his 10th career start against the Cubs. He had a no-decision earlier this year in a 5-4 win against Chicago, his last game before he went on the DL with right elbow inflammation. He pitched 5 1/3 innings with nine hits, four runs (three earned), one walk and a strikeout.
Jackson is 3-8 with a 5.40 ERA this season, but he has won his last two starts. He allowed four hits and one run with eight strikeouts in seven innings on June 9 against the Pirates, then he surrendered just one run with seven strikeouts over six in a June 14 win against the Mets.
Cardinals: Mujica continues to roll
Edward Mujica has 20 saves this season, the fifth most in baseball. He hasn't blown one, either, and trails only Jason Grilli of the Pirates in saves without a blemish.
Mujica spent the last seven seasons with five different teams in different roles. Now, he's the closer on the club with baseball's best record. He had a four-out save against the Cubs on Monday, and has allowed just one walk this season.
"Mujica fills in and does a great job in relief. They have so many tangibles," Sveum said about the Cardinals bullpen. "They don't walk people -- they have good pitching and they don't walk anybody."
Cubs: Rizzo gets rare day off
It took the Cubs about 40 percent of the season to finally give their first baseman a day off, but game No. 69 was the magic one for Anthony Rizzo.
Rizzo didn't start Tuesday for the first time all season. He hasn't hit a home run since May 18, and was 0-for-10 in his last three games before Sveum decided to give him a rest.
"Last year, I had a couple days off, and came back like I normally am," Rizzo said before the game. "You're going to have good times and bad times, and it's one of the down times for myself personally. It's frustrating. The game is beating me up a little bit. I think it'll be nice to relax and enjoy the game from the bird's eye."
Worth noting
• Jackson is 1-3 with a 4.58 ERA in six career starts against the Cardinals.
• The Cubs have a plus-31 run differential in the first five innings of games this season, and minus-44 from the sixth on.
• Mujica's consecutive save streak is the most to start a season for the Cardinals since Tom Henke converted 22 straight to start the 1995 campaign.

Teacher shaves head to support student with Alopecia
UPDATED 8:57 AM EDT Oct 16, 2013Many teachers go to great lengths to encourage their students, but Lake Whitney Elementary third-grade teacher Ehren Steiner has gone beyond the call of duty.
Video TranscriptWILL BE BUILT OR IF SOMETHING LESS UNIQUE WILL REPLACE IT. MANY TEACHERS GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS. TONIGHT ONE MAN HAS GONE BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. AT LAKE WHITNEY ELEMENTARY THERE'S A NEWLY BALD TEACHER ON CAMPUS. THE TEACHER SACRIFICED HIS OWN HAIR TO MAKE SURE ONE SPECIAL STUDENT WOULD FEEL AT HOME IN CLASS. THIS IS EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DINO SPORTING A FULL HEAD OF HAIR. RECENTLY DINO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ALOPECIA. AN AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE THAT ATTACKS THE HAIR FOAL KELS AND HE HAS BEEN -- FOLLICLES AND HE HAS BEEN GOING BALD. THIS IS HIS THIRD GRADE TEACHER. AND THIS IS BOTH OF THEM TODAY. SHAVED CLEAN AND JOINED IN SOLIDARITY. I THINK HE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. [ LAUGHTER ] STEINER SAYS WHEN HE LEARNED DINO WAS STRUGGLE WITH WHETHER OR NOT TO SHAVE HIS HEAD, THEY HAD A TALK. I JUST KIND OF BROUGHT IT UP, LIKE, HEY MAN I'LL SHAVE MINE TOO IF THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER. AND I TOLD HIM TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL DAY. BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON DINO TOLD STEINER HE WAS GOING TO SHAVE IT OFF. WHEN THE TWO WERE REUNITED AT SCHOOL MONDAY. MY JAW DROPPED AND, LIKE, HE DID IT. STEINER SAYS HE SHAVED HIS HEAD WITH THE HOPE IT WOULD MAKE DINO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR THIRD GRADE CLASS. IT JUST STINKS TO GO THROUGH THINGS ON YOUR OWN. AND I THINK IF YOU CAN HAVE SOMEBODY TO WALK THROUGH SOMETHING WITH IT JUST MAKES LIFE MORE ENJOYABLE. HE IS REALLY SUPPORTIVE. THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD AWARD GOES HIM. DINO AND HIS TEACHER SAY MOST OF THE STUDENTS HAVE REACTED VERY POSITIVELY TO THEIR SHAVED HEADS. DINO, I'M CURIOUS, DO YOU THINK THE GIRLS ARE GOING TO FIND YOU CUTER NOW? NO. NO? MAYBE. I THINK SO.

I believe it only when I see it. VIA and has lied too many times.
Phoronix: Santa Raids VIA Tech For Open-Source Presents
Here's a very unexpected but welcoming surprise for the holidays: there's some source code that's about to be released by VIA Technologies...
I believe it only when I see it. VIA and has lied too many times.
Their hardware is terrible, though. All around, VIA is a loser company. I expect them to get bought or bankrupt themselves in the next couple years. They offer nothing unique except that you can buy an underpowered, buggy motherboard or GPU for only about 75% of the cost of a low-end Radeon or Intel motherboard with an Intel IGP. 25% cheaper for something like 5x slower? No thanks...
To survive as a retail chip-maker, you've got to at least have one killer product.
Intel has many profitable businesses, but their best is probably the x86_64 desktop and server motherboard chipsets and CPUs.
AMD has the ATI business along with a limited amount of customer loyalty from certain types of people, and that's kind of it. But Radeons are cost-effective, low-power and high-performance enough to be genuinely useful and competitive, and the drivers (proprietary at least) are definitely looking good these days.
Nvidia has a huge amount of momentum as being the Microsoft analogue to gaming GPU hardware; that is, they're pretty much what society considers the "gold standard", and everyone pretty much accepts that (except AMD fans).
Imagination has their SGX cores, which power dozens of models of tablets and smartphones. They've really cornered that market by producing an amazing blend of low-power and high-performance, with great support for GLES 2.0.
Hell, even Matrox has something unique; their graphics adapters can power up to 48 monitors!
What does VIA have? Crap hardware that you can get for the same price as a mid-grade previous-generation Radeon on-sale at Amazon?
I just want to know how VIA has survived the 2000s and is now still a solvent company in December 2011. I thought they'd be long gone by now. Who is buying their crap? Or do they simply stay afloat on patent royalties, like SGI (well, now a part of HTC) does?
hi, now the code as moved to freedesktop.org
VIA Nano 3000 single-core can easily beat a single-core Atom while consuming only a bit more power. I haven't yet seen figures on the dual-core side but I don't expect things to be very different. And Chrome9 HD graphics on Windows 7 is as fast as Sandy Bridge in benchmarks.
By the way, VIA introduced an HD video capable chipset, VX900, in March 2010, long before Intel released a HD video capable Atom platform (Cedar Trail in December 2011). And the PowerVR graphics used by Intel does not even have any proper open-source support - VIA at least released some documentation on the VX900 hardware.
The main problem with VIA is the lack of interest from computer and motherboard manufacturers. Intel or AMD are well-known, an Atom or Fusion computer just sells better because of the brand name.

On Monday, we launched an effort to bring critical year-end support to our troops, especially those who have been wounded, ill or injured. The response has been truly amazing and inspiring.
Thousands of people are coming together to take care of these brave men and women who are just starting their road to recovery. I hope you will join with other USO supporters and make your special year-end donation today.
This campaign isn't just about bringing support to the wounded, ill and injured. It's also about honoring a special request from our troops on the frontlines and in forward operating bases all around the world.
When we ask them what we can do to help, their first answer is always: Take care of my friends who have been wounded.
So, when you give today, you're honoring the service and sacrifice of our active troops and helping support those who are wounded, ill and injured.
I've been so encouraged by the way USO supporters like you have stepped up to be there for our troops at this time of year. And I thank you for lending your personal support to this campaign today. – Sloan Gibson, President and CEO, USO

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality. |
We have tested the Olympus PEN EP3, the latest 4/3 camera by Olympus, and the first results show that its sensor performance is pretty much the same as for the Olympus PEN EPL2 and Olympus E5. Nevertheless, comparing it to the upcoming Sony NEX C3 should be interesting, as they are both in the EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) camera category. |

Automotive aficionados know that there are cars, and then there are "cars."
There are the cars we drive to work every day, the cars we use to take our kids to school, the cars we pick up groceries with and the ones we use to haul stuff from The Home Depot. They're utilitarian, reliable, practical and in most cases, they're relatively boring, too.
But others are the rare automobiles that provide more than just transportation. They're the ones that border on rolling art. The cars that most consider to be miracles of engineering. The ones that glorify speed and luxury. The ones that are best described as madness sitting on four rubber tires.
As long as people have been driving, cars like these have existed. Some individual or some company has always been there to push the envelope, to ask, "How much faster can we make this? How much better can it be?" Every era of automotive history has its legends. They have names like Bentley, Bugatti and Ferrari.
Many of them were made in extremely limited numbers during their time, and of those few, many became lost to history. A rare handful (or fewer) are still around, flaunting record-breaking speed and handling from a time long since past.
They can be yours, too -- if you've got the cash. The average person would never even consider spending $100,000 on a car. So what would make a person spend several million dollars on a car?
You're about to find out. In this article, we'll look at the most recent list of the world's 10 most expensive classic cars, the history behind them and how much of a financial hit their new owners' wallets took just to put them in their garages.

Column: To be in God's favor
Luke 1:28-31 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.The angel told Mary that she had found favor with God. That is some really good news, right? That means Mary has an easy road now. I'm guessing the angel will tell her that she's so blessed that she's going to have the most amazing marriage ever and that someone was going to make her a big wedding cake and someone else was going to donate a huge arrangement of flowers.Is that what happened? Not even close. In reality, by telling Mary that she had found favor with God, the angel tells Mary that she would give birth to the Son of God, and it would appear that she had given birth to a child out of wedlock. People would point and snicker and talk about her behind her back. She would raise this child and He would become the Savior of the world, and she would watch Him die on a criminal's cross. Sounds like a great deal, huh? Who wants God's favor now? I say that to say this: I believe many of us have misunderstanding of the favor of God. You see, the favor of God is much different than favors from God. A lot of times when great things happen to us, we think we have God's favor. And we may indeed have His favor. But the favor of God doesn't equate to us being thrilled.I'm sure Mary would've loved to have been married to Joseph and then given birth to her first child in the normal way. I'm sure she didn't really appreciate the gossip and snubbing she received. But you see, favor is not about our convenience, it's about God's purpose.Here's my definition of favor: Favor is the guarantee of God's presence and the provision of His power to accomplish his special purposes in and through my life. The favor of God is not a step-by-step process to help us get what we want; the favor of God is a living, breathing, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ that changes the way we see God. And it changes our understanding of how He sees us. And when we realize how He sees us, it changes everything.You see, God doesn't just love you because He has to; He likes you because He wants to. He created you with a special plan and purpose. And when you surrender your life for His purposes, not your conveniences, you are blessed and highly favored.

Thanks to my HP, in the 2 years I was sober, I got alot of the "stuff" back. I have a new job making good money, a great family(wife and child). I have been in the program for 10 years now. When I relapsed, it was a one time event, i did not go on a 2 day bender or anything like that. I drank 2 bottles of red wine and shots. Sunday I was in the hospital for 4 hours so they can get fluids back in me and so I could just get the help I needed physically. I have depression and I am taking Celexa for this. I guess I am looking for answers on why I am such a chronic relapser. I have relapsed over and over and had sponsor after sponsor, have done the work and then just slip as most of us do. I cannot afford another slip. I have a wife and a child that NEED me and I NEED them. I have been to 2 meetings since Sunday and it certainly makes me feel better. Any suggestions from this point would be appreciated.
