Posted by BraveTiger225 on 12/2 at 12:55 pm to BraveTiger225 NIU is up 16 in the Coaches' Poll with UCLA a few back at 19. Nebraska got dumped down to 23. If the Harris Poll is similar, NIU is going to be dangerously close to #16. If so, the already messed-up bowl allocation process is going to get messier as Oklahoma would slip from the Fiesta to the Cotton. Reply Back to Top |

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- My apt had been painted so I was still in the process organizing my living room when my sofa was delivered. I subsequently noticed that there was a small damaged spot on the back of the sofa behind the pillow (the nap was missing). I phoned customer service and was referred to the Goof Proof Protection plan that I had purchased.
When I called them I was told by their representative that the coverage doesn't start until the one year warranty has expired and that I should call customer service again. And that Bob's is always trying to get out of honoring their warranty. I phoned Bob's again and was told that since I hadn't reported the defect within the 3-day period there was nothing that they could do to remedy the situation. The representative also implied that I should create a story about accidental damage to get it covered by the Goof Proof plan.
When I told her I wasn't comfortable lying about this she told me that there was nothing that they could do for me. Unfortunately this is a lesson learned. I will not be a repeat customer.
That doesn't sound right to me. I'd be happy to help. Please send your order info to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be in touch. Thanks, Eric.
MANCHESTER, CONNECTICUT -- I bought a complete living room set for my home, I bought a sofa, two chairs and a three piece table set.
When I first received the tables they were delivered damaged. The coffee table came dented and there were screws sticking out of the legs of the side tables. The screws actually scratched up my floor. It took them 3 months for me to get tables, and the only reason we go tables was because we had to go in and reorder new tables. The originals were on back order and they told me it could be another 2 months before I got the tables, but they sold them to us anyway.
Now less than two years later, the sofa I bought is falling apart. The couch has sunken in and collapsed and the arm is broken. There are no young children in my home and it was not abused. When you touch the right arm of the couch you can hear the wood cracking. The cushions can not be sat on because they are sunken in. It is almost like the foam or whatever is inside is decomposing. There are springs sticking out of the cushions as well. We no longer can sit on the couch.
I bought the goof proof and was told at purchase that is covers everything. They will repair it or replace the furniture if it can not be replaced. I went to Bob's stores and told them what was happening, and that I had goof proof. They told me it only covers small rips and stains, which is not what the salespeople tell you. They sell the goof proof as the ultimate additional coverage. The salesmen told me that it is additional manufacturer coverage, as well as it covers all additional stains and damage caused by anyone even pets and kids. So they told me that I should call Bobs. I called them today and they told me that goof proof does not cover the quality and that Bob's only gives a one year warranty. There was nothing they were going to do. The couch is collapsing from poor quality and there is nothing I can do.
They sent a Bob's technician to my home anyway, and the tech guy walked in and told us that this couch is crap, he has been on many calls about this couch and couches similar to it. I called Bob's and they said they can't help us that the warranty is up, call goof proof. They even told me what to say to get Guardian (Goof Proof Company) to come. The guy came two months after my initial call, and the guy was at my home for 5 minutes, and also told me that this couch is garbage. He took pictures of the collapsed arm, and the cushions. He then told us Good Luck getting something done, Guardian will only cover small stains and burns and not manufacturer's defects. So essentially we are out of luck, We now have to buy another couch to replace the one I bought 1 1 /2 years ago.
I was planning on buying a dining room and bedroom set from Bob's. Thank Goodness that the couch fell apart and Bob's poor quality and was shown to me before I dropped another 2500 at Bobs. I will go someplace else where I might spend more initially, but will not have to drop more money every 1 1/2 years to replace the cheap garbage I already bought.
Update: As predicted, Goof proof will not do anything for my couch, and I am currently shopping for another couch. Bob's furniture is made to last 1 year, just to get past the manufacturer warranty. DO NOT BUY FROM BOB'S, and if you do DO NOT BUY THE GOOF PROOF, it is completely useless.
I'd like to help. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with the name, address and phone number associated with your account.
Thanks, Eric.
SOUTHINGTON, CONNECTICUT -- I recently purchased a 6piece sectional from Bobs in light brown suede. My fiancé and I were hesitant with buying suede because we have a 2 yr old. We voiced our concern to the sales representative and he then introduced goof proof. After telling us all about goof proof we thought hey we can't go wrong. The sales representative even gave examples like if our son took a crayon, pen or marker an drew all over the couch it would be covered or if his cup leaked and left a stain.
So we said well you can't go wrong lets do it. So we purchased the sectional which we found out was not in stick until the following month and we spent the extra $99 for goof proof... The couch ended up being delivered in almost 3 different deliveries they had kept saying that certain pieces were still not in... My fiancé was frustrated at that point and we should have taken that as a sign to just cancel the whole order.
So about 2 months after have the couch one day my son gets his hands on a black marker and scribbles all over our storage ottoman and the wedge console to the couch.. My fiancé was upset at the time and I wasn't so much. I was like hey I will just call goof proof that's what we brought it for right... It was a weekend and goof proof was closed so I used the cleaner that was given to us at Bobs which after scrubbing for quite a while got most of the marker out.
So a few days later I called goof proof I was on the phone for about 20 minutes before anyone assisted me. I told the representative that I needed to file a claim. He asked what happened and what was damaged. I told him which pieces they were and that it had marker and pen and my son had drawn on the couch. The representative then tells me how many marks are on each piece. I thought he was joking but nope they want you to count each mark dots and all. After counting each mark line and dot on each piece he put me on a brief hold. Only to tell me when he returned that it was not covered due to marks greater than 6inchs and being excessive in markage.
I was speechless I asked him why wasn't it covered he said because it didn't happen at one time. I was like were you here when it happened no..I told him the pamphlet says it covers marker and pen. He then says yes if it's an accident, how is a two year old scribbling on a couch not an accident. He said its more like if you sit down with a pen in your pocket or something and you mark the couch. when asked what does excessive mean he told me because you said there are about 20marks on the ottoman. I said we'll yes but only because I counted dots.
I mean really I told them they were full of crap and said some other not so great words and then hung up on them. I knew it was to good to be true.. I will never buy that crap again what a waste of money..don't buy goof proof no matter how good it sounds, that Bobs sales representative is full of crap.
I'd be glad to see what we can do to help out. Please send your contact info to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be in touch. Thanks, Eric.
Good proof is not what was stated to me. I will try to summarize my experience with Bobs and with the "goof proof" warranty that they sell through guardian and Guardsman (formerly). We all know that we get what we pay for and that Bobs furniture is cheap but you figure the goof proof will save you when you need it. Not so in my case.
We bought 2 bedroom sets from Bobs in mid 2010 and a sofa love seat combo in 2009. All of the furniture now needs repair so we called Bobs. The 2010 purchased items are under warranty from Guardian and the 2009 sofas are under Guardsman warranty. In fairness to Guardsman, they have not yet acted on the claim and may very well agree to do the repairs (I will update this if they do).
Bobs sent a person out to look at the furniture. He tried to glue a piece of veneer back on the bed but it didn't work and now looks worse than when he started. We were told that nothing is under manufacturers warranty so we would have to deal with Guardian and Guardsmen. A few days later, guardian called to let us know that the glides on the bureau and the peeling veneer were "normal wear and tear" and "didn't happen in one single incident" so nothing is covered. I specifically asked the salesperson about normal wear and tear when I bought. From Bobs and was told that it was covered (they even showed me in writing where it was). Now there's a new story.
I noticed Bobs Facebook page showing an Eric Maurer to email so I did. Eric told me that they could replace the glides for $10 each and they wouldn't charge me labor costs. They would also try to re-glue the veneer. Not really what I expected but by this time it was all I could get so I asked him to order them. I soon got an email back stating they don't sell them anymore.
I'll never trust Bobs store again but I'm glad I learned this now because we are just starting to search for another bedroom and a living room set. I would have given them 1 star but the mattresses we bought are still good.
Our sectional from Macy's is still in great condition so perhaps we will start there.
WAYNE, NEW JERSEY -- I went into the store and was helped by a representative name Mitch, he was truly a genuine guy, though he insisted several times that I purchase the delivery and setup for $100. I decided that I would pick it up at the Secaucus warehouse and put it up myself and save that extra $100. Mitch said that the table would be ready to be picked up in 2 weeks. At the warehouse, the guys loaded the set in my truck and told me to sign on this paper for having picked up the table. I signed.
After one week of bringing home the table I had the time to put it together. On opening the box I realized that some pieces were black and others were brown. Also the paint on the top of the table was smudged. I called customer service. The representative said that she would have to send a technician out to my house to verify my complaint. This took another week for the tech to come to my house.
When he came, he was expecting to see the table mounted up. Since it was in the box, he refused to open the box to see the problems. I opened the box for him. He called customer service and made a report that the table has to be replaced. The representative asked to speak with me, she said that the table is in back order until May 09, delivery would be May 10. I asked for a refund because I could not wait that long. She said that they couldn't refund me because it has been more that 24 hours since I picked up the furniture. She said that I was supposed to open the boxes in the warehouse and make sure all is well before taking it home. I told her that would have been impossible, how was I supposed to repack a table and 6 chairs back in the boxes to bring it home and bring it up to the second floor.
I had no choice but to wait to May 10. In the meantime, I went back to the store in Wayne, to verify that the table was indeed all black. As usual I was bombarded by a representative to help me. The rep's name is Arif, after telling him the issue at hand, he said that is what you will get for not paying for delivery and that this should teach me a lesson to always pay for delivery and service plans, whatever I buy.
I asked him, if I was wrong to pick it up myself and save $100. He said yes I get what I don't pay for. I asked him, if he would pay for something that he could do himself and he said that it is better to pay. I have no idea how a person working at a furniture store could afford all these service plans out there.
The table in question was creating a problem, I had no space to walk around. I called up and asked them to come pick it up while I wait for the new one. The representative sent for it and also had the brown pieces replaced. On May 10, the guys brought the table, they refused to bring up the new table since their paper work was saying that they have to pick up the old table and brown pieces before giving me the new table.
I have to say that I would never buy as much as a button at this store. Apart from the attitude from Arif, the customer service does not note the complaints on the account as is should.
Please do not waste your time going to this store.
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, NEW JERSEY -- My fiancée and I went to Bobâs Furniture Store in Monmouth Junction, NJ. We were looking for bedroom furniture, consisting of a dresser and wooded bed frame, a mattress, a box spring and perhaps a computer desk and chair on 3/9/12. We were helped by the office manager, Kalen, which she was able to find the furniture pieces to our liking. We specifically told customer service there, that we will have the bedroom furniture, mattress and box spring to be delivered on 3/16/12, while the computer desk and chair to be delivered at a later date. We needed time to have that specific room prepared for that computer desk and chair.
We received the items as promised on 3/16/12, but they also delivered the computer chair in that delivery against our instructions. Since we were so concerned about the bedroom furniture, we made sure those items were in working order before the delivery men left. Everything was fine with the bedroom furniture.
Since the room was not ready for the computer chair and desk, we left the computer chair in our living room for the time being. My fiancée did notice about a week later that the black computer chair was defective. There was chipping on the front arms of the chair, a hairline crack in the back of the left arm, and the arm sawed off and sub standardly screwed in, which caused it not to be flushed with the back part of the chair.
Since this chair was black, it was hard to see the defectiveness of the product. I called customer service to cancel the computer desk. If the chair is in this quality then, the desk will probably be in the same type of quality. My fiancée then called customer service, and since we did not call within the three day window, they could not give us a refund. A tech person must come out to determine that it is defective for us to receive any store credit. Two weeks later the tech came and told us that it is defective, but the arms can be replaced. We did not want it. What is the sense to have a computer chair without the desk? So we had a schedule a delivery man to pick up the chair on 4/11/12 to get the credit.
While this was all going on, we advised customer service that we had a comfort issue with the mattress. We tried the Bobby Bear Euro top mattress in the store, and it felt fine, but unfortunately, it did not translate well in our home. I would wake up in utter back pain ever night for the first week. Customer service advise us to call on the thirty first day to get an exchange. Since this would require another tech to come in to determine the defectiveness of the mattress probably in two weeks, we asked customer service to pick up the mattress. They said they can do it, but the delivery men must call them to get confirmation. They did, and speaking with a customer service, I was told to call the store to order a new mattress. I called later that afternoon, and was told by Jason at the store that they do not have the mattress. I then called around 8:30 and they finally gave me credit for the mattress and chair. Unfortunately, since I return the item, I must pay $39.95 delivery charge for the new mattress then the difference of the new mattress in the amount of $110.00.
Being that it was late and I was tired from a long day at work, I put it on my credit card. I decided to speak with Jason R., the sales representative that helped picked out the new mattress, the following morning due to all the aggravation that I went through. I wanted something for the inconvenience. He told me some bull that the price is already a discounted rate and Bob does not give any refund. Jason was boasting that the Bob provides great quality at a great price. He was saying that Bob's Furniture is the best and urged me to buy their stock, since they are going to expand down South. Jason claims to be the disciple of Bob's. I was ready to hear in his next sentence, that Bob will be parting the Red Sea next week for everyone to see. Please, Jason, stop the bs. Bob is a store with horrible service and crappy furniture. I will never get anything at Bob's again.
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- On March 15th, 2008 I got married.
The very next day, my new wife & I went to Bobs Discount Furniture for our first big purchase as a newly married couple.
After meeting with a salesperson we rummaged around the selection of the beds & decided upon a "Bob-O-Pedic" adjustable bed. We tried both the plus & firm mattresses & bought the firm. The only issue was that it was back ordered & wouldn't be in until the first week of April 2008.
We got a call soon after with the news that one was available & would be delivered that week. When I spoke with the store I reminded them that they needed to call my cell phone & not the home number when the delivery people were on their way. These instructions were outlined on the invoice.
A couple days later I just happened to be passing my home from a work errand to find the Bobs delivery truck at my house. (why didn't they call me?)
No matter, I was there & all was OK. I let them in. They took the old mattress & installed the new. They reminded me that it'd take a few hours for the mattress to soften up as it was cold that day.
That night we slept in our new bed. Or at least my wife did. I could not relax on the mattress. It seemed a lot firmer than the one in the showroom. I gave it a couple more days & after getting little sleep & a sore back we went back to Bobs to exchange it for a plush version as well as the non adjustable as neither of us used that feature.
So April 10 of '08 we went back to Bobs & did the exchange. I tried & retried the plush & firm & decided that the plush was best. JUST in case, we went with a dual that has a plush & firm half.
They said, however, the king size was back ordered to May 20th. So we decided to wait for the new one to arrive & just keep the queen automatic until then.
By this time I had started sleeping on the floor on a roll up spare mattress.
Fast forward to May 13th 2008.
I called customer service to see if the new king size was still going to be available on the 20th. She said "Oh we have those!" I said, "when were you going to call me to deliver it" Basically since I was in there the 20th, they were going to wait.
So I (again) double checked that they delivery people would do the one hour call ahead to my cell number & she read back the number I'd originally given.
The next day, on the 14th of May, I got an automated call from "Bob" about a scheduled pickup on May 15th between 2:09PM & 5:09PM on my cell phone. "yay" I thought, "they remembered!"
No they didn't.
On May 15th, 2008 I got a call from my neighbor saying that there was a Bobs Furniture truck at my house with people & mattress walking around. This was 2:11pm.
Since I work 15 minutes from home I left work & headed there. When I got there @ 2:28PM & the truck was gone.
I went inside & on my answering machine was a call from the Bobs delivery people telling me they were almost at my house. There was also a call from the Bobs warehouse saying that I'd need to reschedule.
I called customer service was told that once the truck leave an address, it can't go back because it has other deliveries to make on time. When I pressed, she said she'd try to get the truck to go back since by this time it was only about 20 minutes away. When she got back she told me that the truck was already back at the depot & was done for the day.
I then asked her why I didn't get a call on my cellphone as was outlined in the instructions. She told me that that phone number wasn't anywhere on the invoice. "then how is it Bobs called me yesterday at that number?" She didn't answer.
So I spoke with her manager.
She was even less helpful. I was more upset that they didn't call my cell then missing the delivery. But she promised that they'd be back tomorrow (May 16th) with the bed & would "absolutely" call my cell phone.
May 16th, 2008.
I was at lunch with some co-workers & I thought, "I'll call the house just in case" I called & wouldn't you know, there was a message from the Bobs guys saying that they'd be at my house by 1PM. I left the restaurant early & got to my house at 12:58 and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
At 1:30 I called customer service about the delivery time because for some reason the on-line customer tracking didn't work. The lady said they they had two more deliveries before mine & should be there soon.
I waited until 1:45PM & I had to get back to work.
I left a postit on my door saying that I waited until that time & to call my cell. I was half-way back when someone called from Bobs saying that they were at my house waiting for me.
I asked why they were so late. "deliveries, you know?" No apology. But that's OK.
I called my boss as I headed back to the house.
I was pulling up then they were unloading. My new, $1400.00 mattresses were on the ground. I thought since they were in plastic, I'd be OK, right?
They brought them in & were struck dumb as they say the still un-retrieved queensize bed that they were supposed to pick up. So they left my new mattresses outside (did I mention it was starting to rain?) & brought the old mattress into the truck.
They put the king size on the floor & I inquired about something. "Where's the frame?"
So they called the depot & I heard over the Nextel that it was still on back order & then it was that I never ordered one with the bed.
That part is true. I looked at the invoice & there was no frame there. However, one wasn't offered either. So my new bed is on the floor.
Later that afternoon my wife calls. "This mattress is filthy!"
Indeed, there was wet grass stains & leaves & mud on the ends of the mattress. "probably from where they dropped it in the yard" I said. I was so elated to finally have the new bed I didn't even think to look at the mattress. But there were holes torn into the plastic letting them get in that condition.
My wife called customer service about this & they basically did the same thing with me. Didn't listen, didn't really seem interested in helping. "we can get another mattress our there on Tuesday but there will be a delivery charge." My wife felt that unacceptable & felt that we shouldn't be responsible for a delivery charge for an abused item.
They told her that "they'd look into it & they'd call back"
They did, a couple of hours later but all they did was move the delivery to Monday, but they'd only bring the delivery down to 50%.
I personally don't think we should be responsible for the mis-handling of their delivery people. I also felt that their delivery persons weren't professional. One spent most of his time on his cell phone arguing with someone & quite frankly didn't fill me with confidence in my purchase.
The customer service people were an entirely different story. They were more interested in getting off the phone than actually helping us. They wouldn't listen & had the habit of talking over my wife. At one point told her to "calm down" when she started getting angry.
In the future, I think I'll spend the extra money on a company who actually appreciates their customers. I myself work in the services field & I'd be looking for a new job if something like this happened.
We'll never shop Bobs ever again.
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- We ordered the bob o pedic after looking at a Sleep Number bed. I personally have never had any problems sleeping in my mattress which was a pillow top from Rotmans back in 1999. My husband has had back problems for some time. When we got our taxes back, we decided to buy a new mattress.
We ordered the bob o pedic firm and were very excited. It came in the day they said and the time frame they promised. We did notice beforehand luckily that they ordered the plush when we wanted the firm. We changed it in time for delivery.
The delivery went smoothly other than the hallway they walked through the contracted movers took some chunks out of my wall. I admit it was a tight squeeze, but I would hope they would be smart enough to know not to try to squeeze it in without warning me of the possible results of a damaged wall. They did stick some sticky putty in the holes and asked me to re -paint the damage.
Because I was so happy to have the bed, I did not complain much. I did notice the odor people talk about, but it was not unbearable. I waited to put my bob o pedic cover on the mattress as instructed 3 hours.
First night in bed. Loved the feel lying on my back and watching TV. Not easy to be intimate in I must admit. Anyway without TMI, I slept great however woke up with a very bad stiff upper back. Never in my life have I had a back issue on a mattress. So this concerned me very much. Once I was up and moving, it seemed fine. I have now slept in this new mattress three nights and did not have a repeat of upper back pain, but I am skeptical. Looking forward to hearing comments on this experience. My husband says it is fine for his back. How long should I give it before I make a decision without going past the 30 days?
SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE -- My wife and I purchased a very expensive couch with recliners on all three partitions, made of all leather. We purchased a coffee table, a bed, the so-call box spring and a bed.
The first queen size bed that we had was literally two feet longer than the mattress and box spring. I spent literally four hours trying to speak with customer service and never once got through to a human being. Eventually I got fed-up and went back to the store who told me that nothing was wrong and it's the way it was made. I argued and finally they agreed to send a replacement out. We had the same issue on the replacement frame. We went around again on this, but this time I was smart enough to go directly to the store. We spent more money for a different model, which thankfully, did fit better.
Within the first three weeks of having the bed and frame, the frame gave way and broke at the bottom, as they make the entire edge support with pressboard and don't use screws long enough to even hold it on. The mattress already has impressions from our bodies after a bit more than a year and the box spring is basically a cardboard box (if you buy it, check for yourself). We replaced ours today with a Sleep Number bed and it was well worth the upgrade for $1600.
The middle partition on our couch broke within three weeks and we can't even recline it anymore. We didn't bother trying to get this fixed as it isn't even worth the hassle.
The coffee table...yes, this too is junk. Within just a few days the wood started breaking simply from pressing against it. It isn't made of real wood, but just holey pressboard all over.
In total I believe we spent just over $3000, and to be honest, I wish we had spent the extra $2000 for quality products elsewhere. We advise all of our friends and family to avoid shopping here, and if you are reading this too, you have been warned, stay away!
You can't even say you get what you pay for, because in my opinion, the products are not even worth what they charge. Happy shopping!
I'm sorry to hear your purchase isn't holding up as expected. If you still have this merchandise I'm sure we can address these issues for you. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be in touch. Thanks, Eric.
ORANGE, CONNECTICUT -- This company provided horrible customer service after having delivery issues on four separate occasions. I purchased a bedroom set from Bob's Discount Furniture in Orange, CT, which came out to a little over $2,000.00. To say that I am livid and unsatisfied about the service I received is an understatement. The movers came out on 1/18/13 with TWO headboards and NO footboard. So instead of thinking I would be sleeping on anything other than the floor was silly of me. On top of the warehouse sending out the wrong equipment, the movers barely spoke English and were ridiculously incompetent. Of course, after calling customer service I had to wait another couple days to have 1 headboard and 1 footboard sent out. THE SECOND DELIVERY consisted of another set of immigrants NOT having the hardware (the screws) to put the headboard together. THE THIRD TIME, they actually brought the headboard screws and assembled it, only to find out that the nightstand which was in the box the whole time (since the 1st delivery) was completely broken. The whole back was in pieces. THE FOURTH TIME was when I finally received all my furniture in proper order, which was 1/29/13. The whole experience was the worst I've ever had. The customer service agents and managers offered a $100 credit after the second delivery, but after the 4th, I demanded more since I had to take off or come into work late. I was only compensated the delivery charge of $169.99 and that was supposed to be "sufficient" for a set that I spent over $2,000 dollars on!! On top of losing money from work, the customer service was atrocious. So rude and only told me what I wanted to hear (ie: We'll call you back in 24-48 hours and never did). Between every delivery, it was such a hassel calling and waiting or being hung up on or promised that I'd be called back but wasn't. I was so foolish to think that Bob's was the better option because they were more affordable than most. I recommend possibly spending either the same amount or a bit more and going with Raymour and Flannigan or some other reputable furniture store. Please take my advice and stand clear of this HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE place.

Tynamo-federatedaccounts is an add-on to tapestry-security module and provides and API and components for federated authentication use cases, i.e. authenticating (your application) users with a third-party, such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. The most well-known protocol for it is probably Oauth. However, the module is purposefully not named as "tynamo-oauth" or similar, since the provided interfaces are designed for any federated accounts (where you need to "bridge" more than one account together), regardless of protocol. Besides Oauth, OpenID, LDAP and custom remote authentication protocols are obvious use cases. The module provides an authenticating realm for each specific third-party and required components and pages to authenticate via a particular federated authentication scheme. The module is designed to be as light-weight and non-invasive as possible with minimal amount of configuration required. For example, for enabling simple authentication with Facebook in your (Hibernate-based web) application, you only need to provide the following configuration:
The User class above is your own persistent type, or in the case of Hibernate/JPA, an @Entity. All types you are contributing to FederatedAccountService need to implement the interface org.tynamo.security.federatedaccounts.FederatedAccount. FederatedAccount interface is shown below:
Depending on the FederatedAccountService used, you don't necessarily need to provide any meaningful implementation for federate(...) operation, but it's provided in case you want to merge/update some account properties. See the example implementation for ideas (the DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl requires you to implement storing the identifying remote property).
FederatedAccountService is a lightweight interface, providing a bridge between your local user accounts and remote accounts. The only operation in FederatedAccountService is:
The operation is designed to be invoked after a remote authentication has succeeded. "remotePrincipal" parameter is the username/userid in the remote system and the last parameter is an optional object describing the remote account. The current Facebook realm is using RestFB and returns RestFB User object as the remoteAccount. DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl tries to obtain the configured entity for this realm (see the configuration above) and saves or updates the entity after calling its federate(...) operation.
FederatedAccounts module requires that FederatedAccountService interface is bound to an existing service, but doesn't bind to any by default. This is so you can easily provide a custom implementation for FederatedAccountService, using your own persistence model.
To load tynamo-federatedaccounts module, specify the following in your application pom.xml:
Note that for a snapshot version, you need to use the following repository:
Configuring realms
Other realms to follow, currently only FacebookRealm is implemented.
First, create a Facebook application/register your website (same thing really). Configure FacebookRealm with the generated application credentials:
If you need to request specific application permissions, contribute an additional permission symbol, for example:
By default, FacebookRealm will use the Facebook user id as the principal property, i.e. that property is used as the remotePrincipal. You may change it by configuring FacebookRealm.FACEBOOK_PRINCIPAL. Facebook.PrincipalProperty {id, email, name} are the only supported principals. Using email as the principal property may sometimes be valuable for automatically merging existing accounts but remember that you need to explicitly request access to user's email. You can specify name as well, but note that it's not a uniquely identifying property (not even within Facebook), so you likely want to implement your own FederatedAccountService in that case and use composite keys or make the principal otherwise unique.
Workin together with the FacebookRealm, is FacebookSignIn component. This component displays the Facebook login icon and initiates the Oauth callflow. The component requires that you've contributed values for "facebook.clientid" and "facebook.clientsecret" to work. Additionally, you may require Facebook specific permissions and decide to manage transactions yourself (set FederatedAccountSymbols.COMMITAFTER_OAUTH to false, true by default). FacebookSignIn also support three different window modes [blank|inline|self] (e.g. windowmode="blank"). The live example well demonstrates these configuration choices.
Extension points
What should you customize and why?
- If you are not using hibernate as your persistence framework...
-> provide a custom FederatedAccountService implementation - If you are handling your own transactions...
-> set autoCommit to false i.e. contribute application symbol configuration.add(HostSymbols.COMMITAFTER_OAUTH,"false") - If you are using Hibernate, but need to merge local accounts with remote accounts matching a specific property...
-> override : DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl.findLocalAccount(Class<?> entityType, String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount) - If you are adding/updating (i.e. cache) property values from remote account to local account...
-> implement the required logic in FederatedAccount.federate(String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount) - If you are not using DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl but need to keep the Oauth access token for later use:
-> You need to do something like:or, store the access token in your database. Note the (potential) expiration of an access token and cast the authenticationToken argument of federate() call in your FederatedAccountService to OauthAccessToken for easier handling. - If you are implementing your own remote account provider...
-> See the current FacebookRealm implementation, FacebookOauth page and FacebookSignIn component and related classes for examples (and contribute back if it's generally useful!)
Check out more examples from our full-featured functional tests or a simple, live demonstration with the default Facebook authentication in action, running on GAE.

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structure in the body. A Doppler ultrasound is a special type of ultrasound that can show blood flow in the vessels.
An ultrasound is used to show details of structures in the abdomen. It can show features like the size and movement of organs. An ultrasound of the abdomen is most often done to:
In most cases, there are no complications with this test.
A physical exam may be done. Your bodily fluids may also be tested. This can be done with blood or urine tests.
In some cases, your doctor may instruct you to:
You will lie on a table. A gel will be placed over the area that will be checked. The gel helps the sound waves travel from a wand to your body.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held wand. The wand is pushed against your skin where the gel has been applied. The wand sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your internal organs and echo back to the wand. The computer can convert echoes into images on a screen. The images on the screen are examined by your doctor. A photograph of them may be taken.
You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath during the exam.
The gel will be cleaned off your abdomen. You will be able to leave after the test is done. You will be able to return to your normal activities.
30 minutes
No. But, if you have a full bladder during the test, you may feel uncomfortable.
The images are looked at by doctors. A report will be given to your doctor. Based on the results, you and your doctor will talk about more tests and treatment options.
After the test, call your doctor if the symptoms you had before the test become worse.
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

How long do other mammals nurse? Marilyn responds: The range is broad. One species of seal nurses only a few days. Orangutans suckle their young for six or seven years. Other mammals vary between these extremes. All mammals except humans nurse their young until they're independent. This doesn't mean human mothers should do likewise.

Dear Viewers and Listeners:
As summer winds down, ETV Festival gears up for a host of special programs from August 16-August 24. New musical offerings include concerts by blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa, 13-year-old piano prodigy Ethan Bortnick, soothing instrumentalist Yanni, and a new My Music production of '50s and '60s Party Songs. Travel guru Rick Steves returns with a new special, touring three Italian cities—Rome, Venice and Florence. And Dr. Joel Fuhrman shows viewers how to end dieting forever with his practical advice on a healthy lifestyle.
ETV Radio has added a new series on the news stations—BBC World Service Newshour. The weekday series, which provides an hour of headlines and commentary from around the world, replaces NPR's Tell Me More, which ended production in July.
On the home front, we wish to congratulate the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia, which officially opens its new planetarium and 4-D theater this month. The State Museum has undertaken a remarkable renovation that will also include an online observatory and classroom, and an outdoor telescope viewing terrace and digital learning capabilities. As part of the renovation, ETV has created its own permanent exhibit in the lobby of the museum that will reflect on ETV's history and current programming. This will include monitors with video clips ranging from our earliest days at Dreher High School to ETV's current productions and presentations. Visitors will also gain bragging rights by being able to "touch the top of a TV tower."
We hope you'll visit ETV's exhibit at the S. C. State Museum! The Grand Opening is scheduled for Saturday, August 16.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of Amasezerano Community Banking's Ezukame ("agriculture") program, designed to provide capital to poor farmers in rural Rwanda. ACB invests a higher percentage of its portfolio in agriculture than any other Kiva Field Partner, and is strongly committed to serving the needs of rural borrowers. This type of loan has terms ranging from one to 36 months, with the option to repay in full at the end of the term or in monthly installments.
This flexibility is critical in Rwanda where 85% of the population is employed in agriculture, but many formal financial institutions consider the sector to be too risky to invest. By funding this loan, you are expanding opportunity to farmers with limited options.
About Amasezerano Community Banking, S.A.
Amasezerano Community Banking, S.A., is a for-profit microfinance institution founded in 2005 by the Rwandan NGO African Evangelist Enterprises-Rwanda and 61 individual shareholders, and has been a Kiva partner since June 2010. The mission of Amasezerano Community Bank (ACB) is to have a holistic, positive impact on the lives of poor people by providing quality financial services. ACB's client base is composed primarily of farmers, small-business owners, women entrepreneurs and low-wage private-sector salaried workers. Credit offerings are tailored to meet client needs, and include group solidarity loans, agricultural loans, loans for women entrepreneurs, small-business loans, and loans for salaried workers. ACB also offers mobile money transfers, currency exchange and life insurance services to its borrowers.This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The 2008 McCandless Mopar Classic Car Show
Written by Randy Bolig on October 8, 2008 One of the biggest little shows in the CountryWell, the days leading up to the Inaugural McCandlees Mopar Classic held at historic Piedmont Dragway had us all on edge as the weather man was threatening us with what he called a "chance of showers". Well, by the end of the day on Saturday, several "chances" occurred, but it didn't put a damper on any of the activities until the end of the day, and the final pairs of racers ended up splitting the pot. We were pleased to hear that even though the weather kept some of the racers away, the Piedmont officials didn't "pro-rate" the pay outs, they offered a payout, and they delivered.
The swap meet guys started filing in early, and we even found some good buys for ourselves, so that went well. Like we mentioned, the weatherman wasn't kind, but there was still a lot of show cars that came to spend the day.
But for many, the Sox & Martin tribute had to be the highlight of the show. Piedmont Dragway was/is Sox & Martin territory, so the turnout was unbelievable and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house during the tribute when several of the Sox & Martin cars made parade laps down the track.
Sunday brought even more racing, and this small-town, two-day event has already proven itself that it is definitely one you have to put on your schedule for next year--we did.

Independent enough not to follow. That's how Converse started out way back in 1908. At first, people were lacing up the All Star sneaker to play hoops. Not long after that, they jumped on a skateboard and rolled past the court-still wearing those simple canvas sneakers. Since those early days, Converse has been a legit fixture in the world of skateboarding, pushing independence in pools, bowls, streets and everywhere else. And whether it's with shoes built for the sport or accessories that naturally go along with it, Converse continues to inspire self-expression and movement in every kid who decides to take it along for the ride.

That's still big progress though.
Phoronix: Arch Linux Enables Mesa Floating Point Textures
The rolling-release Arch Linux distribution has just enabled floating point textures for Mesa. This was the hotly-debated feature for Mesa that provides OpenGL floating point textures and render targets, but is disabled by default since its protected by patents in the United States and elsewhere. Arch Linux users when building new versions of Mesa will receive this support irrespective of their physical location...
That's still big progress though.
I also enable floating point and S3TC textures in my Ubuntu PPA.
The distro is based in Canada - according to Distrowatch anyway
Does any one know if they could be subject to law suits?
Seriously, stop spamming in other threads than yours.
You didn't even mention me! Oh well... People please do note that this is currently only enabled in the git version!! This flag is not yet (?) added to the build version since 7.11 isn't out yet so I would keep some caution in mind.
It's a nice start though!
Hey, 30 fps isn't a slideshow, at least not for my eyes.
I admit that's with a GTX470 with cheated clocks though.
arch is one of distros that don't really care about patents, and sometimes about software licenses.
i remember the licence issue problem with faac 2.5 (gpl incompatibility). gentoo refused to package it, arch did. licence was finally fixed around 2.7 or so.
Well Arch is volunteer run and and pretty much a hobby distro.
The chances of them being targeted by a law suit are pretty minimal. There is no benefit gained in suing Arch Linux
