FIFA president Sepp Blatter says corruption probe won't lead to him
Invigorated by his FIFA election win, Blatter dismissed any suggestion on Saturday that the American investigation into soccer corruption could lead to his door.
Sport (or, in the United States, sports) is all forms of competitive physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and provide entertainment to participants. Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.
Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the...

strawberries and cream with graham crumbles
To unforgivably botch something great, if all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone, I'm starting to believe that all of Smitten Kitchen's problems stem from my inability to leave exquisitely simple things like berries and cream alone. Or maybe it's about me being unable to sit in a room alone with strawberries and cream and not eat them? One thing is clear; I think we know better than to entrust me with the work of great philosophers ever again. I'm sorry, Pascal.

United States Patent 0 M d is 3,188,057 i APPARATUS FUR MllXlNG AND DESPENKNG MULTll-CUMPONENT MATERIALS Donald E. Trumbull, Birmingham, Mich, assignor to Pyles Industries, Inc, Southfield, Mich, a corporation of Michigan Filed Mar. 12, 1962, Ser. No. 17%,321
'7 Ciaims. (Cl. 259-37) This invention relates to the provision of apparatus 1 for mixing and dispensing multi-component materials, and has particular utility wherein it is desired to provide a relatively small quantity of adhesive, sealant or the like commercially known as epoxies, polyurethanes, polyesters, etc.
These materials generally comprise a base component and a catalyst or accelerator. Whenthe base and accelerator are mixed together, a reaction occurs between the components to effect a curing of the mixture. The time within which the mixture will cure is dependent upon the particular characteristics of the base and accelerator, the proportions of each component used, etc. in some instances the components will react and cure within a period of a few seconds. 7
It is obvious that in handling materials exhibiting such 7 properties the components must be kept separate until immediately before use, and cannot be premixed prior to shipment to the user. For large quantity operations, the
components are usually furnished in separate containrials in an eflicient manner. Hand measuring and mixing is undesirable because of the accuracy of proportioning required and the high viscosity of some of the materials. Further, because the materials cure so rapidly after mixing, the provision of separate devices for mixing and dispensing is not practicable.'
It is-therefore a general object of this invention to provide a compact, inexpensive mixing and dispensing device for handling multi-component materials. As disclosed herein the device embodying the invention comprises few parts, all of which may be cheaply manufactured, and hence may be discarded after a single use.
' Another object of the invention is the provision of a mixing and dispensing device for handling small quantities of multi-component material, wherein the'mixing of the components may be easily accomplished within the same container from which the resultant mixture is dispensed, thus obviating the need for providing separate mixing and dispensing apparatus. j
A further object of the invention is the provision of a device for handling component materials for the preparation of sealants, adhesives, potting compounds and the like, wherein the component materials are furnished in predetermined, accurately proportioned amounts which may be combined and mixed by'the user at the job without the necessity of metering or measuring the relative quantiv ties .of each component material required.
A specific object of the invention is the provision of a deviw for handling relatively small quantities of multicomponent materials in which two containers are provided, one containing a predetermined quantity of the Patented June 8, 1955 base component, and a second containing a predetermined quantity of the catalyst or accelerator, wherein one of the containers includes therein means for mixing the components and also means for dispensing the mixture therefrom, and the other container is provided with means for exhausting its contents into the first container to be mixed with the remaining component.
In the following description, the disclosure will be primarily directed to a device for handling sealants, ad hcsives, potting compounds and the like which are made up of only two components, a base and an accelerator. However, it will be apparent that such a device may be provided for handling materials consisting of more than two individual components, without departing from the invention disclosed herein.
Other objects, advantages and meritorious features will more fully appear from-the specification, claims and accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of my invention shown positioned in a manually operated dispensing gun;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a dasher and a piston disposed within a cartridge holding the base component;
FIG. 3 is a side view showing the accelerator being introduced into the cartridge for mixing;
F1684 is a side view similar to FIG. 3, partly in section, showing the mixing of the components within the cartridge;
FIG. 5 is a plan View of the mixing dasher for mixing the components within the cartridge taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of the opposite surface of the mixing dasher of FIG. 5, showing the opposite face of the dasher;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line 77 of FIG. 1, showing the connection between the piston and the moving dasher;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged partial plan View of the end of the mixer shaft of FIG. 4 adapted to be coupled to the mixing tool; and
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 99 of FIG. 8.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a preferred embodiment of a container or cartridge 20 made of a suitable plastic material such as polyethylene or the like. It should be noted that while a preferred form of container is shown in the drawings and described in some detail hereinafter, any other suitable container may be utilized within which the component materials may be mixed and which exhibits discharge means for dispensing the resulting mixture from the container. The container must be of a material which will not deteriorate or chemically react with the materials to be mixed and dispensed, and must in addition he fluid-impervious, nonbrittle at low temperatures, and relatively tough and resilient. Polyethylene is excellently suited to this use. Cartridge 253 as shown is a cylindrical container having a conical forward end 22 terminating in a spout-like prolongation 24, which is provided with an aperture 26 therethrough. A plug 28 is provided for sealing aperture 26 against'the escape of material, and has an externally threaded length 30 engageable with corresponding internal threads on the spout 24, and an outer end 32 of such configuration as may be conveniently. gripped in the hand of the user to facilitate itsinsertion and removaL. Plug 25; exhibits an axial aperture 34 therethrough sealed at its inner end by a frangible membrane as to seal the spout 24 during transportation and/or storage of the cartridge prior to use.
The open-rear end 33 of cartridge 20 is provided on its outer periphery with an annular bead or flange 40.
areas? Normally positioned over the open end 38 is a cap 42 having an inner circumferential recess 44 therearound defining a lip adapted to engage head at to seal the end of the cartridge. Cap 42 is preferably made of polyethylene or other suitable material possess ng the same properties as does the cartridge 20, and must be flexible and deformable enough to be easily removed from the cartridge, but at the same time of sufficient resiliency to grippringly engage the bead 40 when placed on the cartridge to seal the open end 3%. Cap 42 may be provided with a projecting tab 46 to facilitate its removal from the cartridge immediately prior to use, as hereinafter explained more fully.
Cartridge 2.0 is partially filled with one of the component materials, usually the base component, although not necessarily. If the ratio of the compound is eight parts of base component to one part of accelerator component, it would be obviously desirable, as a practical matter, to put the base component in the cartridge, and to transfer the accelerator into the cartridge, rather than vice versa. A second separate container is provided for the other component, in this case the accelerator. As shown in FIG. 3, a tube 48 may be used to house the accelerator, which tube has a threaded hollow nose Sit which may be threadedly engaged within the spout .24. Any suitable means (not shown) may be utilized to seal tube 48 prior to use. When it is desired to combine the components for mixing, plug 28 is removed from the cartridge, then the nose 5% of the tube is threaded into the spout 24, and component in the tube 48 exhausted into cartridge as by Winding the tube upon a key or the like 52. It should be noted that tube $8 will be filled at the factory with the predetermined amount of accelerator component necessary to react with the pre determined quantity of base component placed in the cartridge to provide the desired mixture. Thus the containers are prefilled with the requisite quantity of their respective components to achieve an accurately proportioned mixture, and no metering or measuring is necessary prior to use. The contents of tube 48 may therefore be completely discharged into cartridge 20 and the two components thereafter mixed, resulting in a properly proportional compound or mixture.
As the materials which the device is designed to handle must be intimately mixed to provide a homogeneous compound, and since they are sometimes quite viscous at ordinary atmospheric temperatures, they cannot be mixed .by shaking, as might be done with more liquid material s. To ensure adequate mixing within the cartridge 29, a dasher 54 is disposed for rotatable reciprocable move ment within the cartridge. Once the material is thoroughly mixed, means must be provided for dispensing it from the cartridge and to this end a material piston 56 is shiftably disposed within the cartridge and is normally positioned at the rear end of the cartridge it (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4), with the dasher 54 lying immediatelyforward of the piston. Obviously, it is desirable to expel as much of the material as possible from the cartridge during dispensing, for any residue remaining in the cartridge is wasted. Of course, the dasher 54 could be removed from the cartridge after mixing, but this would'be a time-consuming operation, and would .be quite a messy procedure with the viscous compounds handled. Hence the dasher 54 has been designed to occupy as little space as possible in the cartridge 2%, so
that substantially all the material may be dispensed from the cartridge without the necessity of removing the dasher. The following description of the dasher and piston serves to indicate how this may be accomplished in a practical manner.
The piston 56 is preferably made of polyethylene or the like, similar to the cartridge 20, and is constructed having a forwardly tapering wall portion 58 and a rearwardly extending skirt portion 64),- which latter portion closely fits the inside of the cylindrical cartridge 20.
When force is applied to the piston to urge it toward the forward wall 22 of the cartridge, the skirt will wipe along the walls of the cartridge and prevent material escapement rearwardly of the piston as it is shifted. The extreme forward end of the piston exhibits a projecting nipple or nose 52 which is adapted to engage the dasher 54- and hold it norm-ally in juxtaposition on the piston, as will more fully appear hereinafter.
The dasher 54 is preferably made out of polyethylene or other suitable material having the same characteristics of chemical inertness, etc. as the other parts of the de vice which contact the materials. The dasher, however, must in addition be quite rigid so as not to deform or collapse even when being propelled through a quite viscous material. In order that the least possible residue of material remain in cartridge after use, the dasher 54 must displace a minimum volume within the cartridge Zil. The rearwardly facing surface of the dasher therefore conforms to and closely fits the forwardly tapering wall 58 of the piston 56, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the dasher 54 has a hub 64 and a plurality of thin blades 66 which project outwardly and rearwardly from the hub in a modified four leaf clover configuration. Each blade 66 has an outer end portion d8 which contacts the inside surface of the cartridge 2%, and scrapes along suchsurface as the dasher is shifted within the cartridge. FIG. 5 shows the forwardly facing surface of the dasher. Projecting forwardly from the blade surfaces are ribs 70 which serve to apply shear forces to the material and to sweep the material into the spaces 72 between adjacent blades as the dasher is shifted toward the forward end of the cartridge while simultaneously being rotated. In addition, each blade has an aperture 74 therein through which material may pass.
Referring particularly to FIG. 6, which is a view of the .rear surface of the dasher 54,, the surface which lies adjacent the piston 56, it can be seen that each blade has a rearwardly projecting rib '76. The dasher 54 is so constructed so that the ribs 76 lie along the trailing edge of the blades 66 as the dasher is rotated. Thus for optimum mixing, the dasher should be rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 6, that is, in a clockwise direction as the dasher is viewed from the rear. Upon rotation of the dasher in the direction of the arrow while it is being simultaneously shifted toward the rear of cartridge 29, the ribs 76 not only serve to shear thin layers of material, but also function to urge the material radially inwardly in spiral paths toward the hub 64, and thence through the apertures 74.
Summarizing the mixing action achieved by the dasher 54, when it is being simultaneously rotated and shifted from the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to the position indicated in phantom outline at 54' in FIG. 1, the ribs 70 sweep through the material, applying shear forces thereto,
' and in addition cause a portion of each successive layer of material to follow a tortuous path along the ribs 79 toward the wall of cartridge 20, from whence it may pass through the spaces '72 between adjacent dasher blades 66 and the cartridge Wall. The ribs 70 closely conform to the configuration of the tapered forward wall 22 of cartridge 24} and are adapted to scrape across the wall 22, leaving no residue of material in the cartridge not thoroughly mixed. As the dasher 54 is shifted in the opposite direction (from the forward end of cartridge 20 toward piston 56) while being rotated, each of the ribs 76 on blades 66 operates to shear off layers of the material and to urge the material along the ribs in a spiral motion inwardly toward hub 64 in a tortuous path, whereby a considerable portion of the material will pass through the apertures 74 as the dasher is shifted. Further, the ribs 76 closely conform to the forward wall 58 of the piston, and when the dasher comes into contact with the piston, the ribs 76 scrape across the piston face to ensure that no residue of unmixed components will remain "the cut awayend of the shaft,
along the surface of the forwardly facing piston Wall. From the above it can be seen that the dasher 54 is peculiarly adapted to intimately mix'component materials to provide a homogeneous mixture. A further feature of the dasher 54 is that the hub portion 64 projects forwardly of the blades 66, as indicated for example in FIG. 1. When the dasher is shifted all the way forward within the cartridge 20, as at 54' in FIG. 1, the hub 64 projects into the aperture 26 in the spout 24 of the cartridge. Thus the hub 64 displaces any material from the aperture 26 and forces it out through the aperture 2-5 of the cartridge, so that a minimum residue of mixed material is left within the cartridge when the dasher 5d and plunger 56 have been shifted all the way forward within the cartridge.
Referring particularly to FIG. 4, there is shown a mixing shaft 78 having a threaded inner end portion 80 adapted to be threadedly engaged within a correspondinglythreaded aperture 82 (FIG. 2) in hub 64 of the dash er 54. The shaft '78 is sized to be slidably received through aperture 34 in plug 28, and the sliding fit therebetween is preferably tight enough to prevent material escape during mixing while permitting rotation and shifting of the shaft relative to the plug. On the outer end of shaft 78 is mounted a suitable tool 84- which may be manually manipulated to simultaneously rotate and reciprocate the shaft 7 8 and dasher 54 within the cartridge.
' The tool 84 comprises a handle 86 (only partially shown), an arm 88, and a sleeve W rigidly secured to the armas by welding, or in any other suitable fashion. Handle 86 is rotatably coupled to arm 83 by means of any suitable swivel connection (not shown). The inner diameter of sleeve 90 is just slightly oversize the shaft 78 so that it may be easily slipped over the end of the shaft. The end 92 of arm 88 projects into the sleeve 99 to provide a flat face 94 adapted to engage the shaft during use, as pointed out herebelow. Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the shaft 78 has an end portion 96 cut away to provide a flat face 98 to provide clearance for the end 94 of arm88 as the sleeve is engaged upon the rod. Spaced inwardly from the end of the shaft 78 are a pair of flat faces 100 and 102, angularly displaced from face 98, as shown in FIG. 9.
As the mixing tool 84 is engaged with shaft 7 8 for mix- "ing thernaterials in cartridge 2d, the sleeve 90 is positioned so that face 94- on arm 88 slides past face 98 on the shaft, and becomes positioned opposite the faces 1M and 102, as shown in FIG. 4. As arm 88 is rotated through an arc in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, face at abuts the shaft face 1% or 102, and
'upon further rotation the shaft 7 8 is rotated with the tool 34, which in turn rotates the dasher 54 within cartridge 2%. As previously noted, dasher 54 must be simul- -taneously rotated and longitudinally shifted within the cartridge. Thus as the tool 84 is pulled in a direction away from the cartridge to shift the dasher in one direction, projection 92 will abut one of the faces 104, preventing disengagement of sleeve9t} and shaft 78. Conversely, as the tool is shifted in the oppositedirection, projection 92 abuts the shoulder 106. Thus, as long as torque is being applied to the tool during its shifting movement, arm portion 92 will be held against longitudinal shifting relative to the shaft 7 8. When the mixing operation is completed, tool 84 may be easily disengaged from shaft 73 by rotating sleeve' 90 relative to th as by coupling the shaft to the chuck of a" portable elec tric drill or the like. "In order to prevent the dasher 54 from becoming discome disaligned in the cartridge because the skirt portion 6% closely engages the inner wall of cartridge 20, as is obvious from an examination of FIGS. 1 and 2. A releasable connection which has been found to work particularly well is shown most clearly in FIG. 7, wherein the piston 55 is provided with an axially forwardly projecting nose 1% which projects into a suitably sized aperture 119 in the rear of the hub 64 on dasher 54- to hold the dasher in axial alignment within cartridge 20. Nose 108 is shaped in cross-section as shown in FIG. 7, and exhibits flat surfaces .112 separated by relatively short arcuate portions 114. Upon assembly with dasher 54 the flat surfaces 1-12 define spaces 116 between the nose 1% and the dasher 54, obviating the possibility of hydraulic lock between the two members, so that the dasher may be easily disconnected from the piston 56. The relatively short arcuate portions 114 engage the walls of dasher recess 116 to normally hold the dasher in alignment within the cartridge, but the area of contact between the mating surfaces is relatively small, so there is no tendency for the piston 56 to be shifted within the cartridge 29 as the dasher is uncoupled from the piston. Thus during mixing the dasher may be rotated relative to the piston while the nose 108 is engaged within the aperture 1110, in which position the ribs 76 on the dasher will scrape across the forward wall 68 of the piston 56, and sweep material therefrom to be mixed.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the base component is placed within the cartridge 20 and the accelerator component 48 is placed in the tube or the like 2 3. -Usually the base component is the dominant component, and thus is for ease of handling placed in the cartridge 20. However, the ratio of base to accelerator may be one to one, in which instance it would make little difference which component were placed in the cartridge. The base may be introduced through either end of cartridge 2d, whichever is more convenient, and the respective ends of the cartridge closed by plug 28 and cap 42 for storage, with the dasher 54 and piston 56 disposed in the cartridge as shown in FIG. 2. When it is desired to dispense material to a localized area, the procedure may be as follows:
The cartridge 20 is placed in upright position (spout 24 facing upwardly), and the base component allowed to flow to the bottom or rear end thereof. If the base component is quite viscous, the cartridge 20 may be tapped to urge the base away from the spout to make room for the accelerator component. Plug Z8 is then unscrewed from spout 24 and laid aside, and the nose 5d of tube 48 unsealed and threaded into the spout 24 as shown in FIG. 3. Key 52 may then be used to discharge the accelerator into cartridge 20. When tube 43 is completely exhausted, the correct proportional amounts of each component are contained in the cartridge, and the tube is then removed and discarded. The level of material in the cartridge should be below the spout 24 to permit easy re-engagement of plug 28.
To position the shaft 78 for mixing, the threaded end 80 is inserted through aperture 34 in plug 28, breaking the frangible membrane 36, and the shaft is inserted into the cartridge and threadedly engaged with aperture 82 on dasher 54-. Plug 28 may be threaded into spout 24 before insertion of the shaft, or the shaft and plug may be first assembled and then threaded into the dasher and spout respectively. Hand tool 84 or any other suitable means for rotating shaft 78 is thereupon coupled to the shaft,
and the apparatus is then as shown in FIG. 4, ready to mix the components together.
placed'within the cartridge 20, it has been found advantage-ousj to provide a releasable connection between the dasher 54- and piston 56 to retain the'dasher in axial align- .rnent. The piston 56 is so constructed that it cannotbe- When mixing by hand, the cartridge may be grasped in one hand and the handle 35 of tool $4 in the other hand, and mixing accomplished by turning hand tool 84 while at the same time shifting cartridge Ztl and tool 84 toward and away from each other. Care should be exercised to assure that the dasher 54 contacts the forward wall 24 and the piston 56 during each stroke so possible.
.the rod 132 to provide a ratchet-like movement. mounted on the forward end of rod 134 is a plunger 136 .by inspecting the color of material at the surface of the cartridge, making sure the mixture is uniform throughout the length of the cartridge. If the components are of similar color, adequate mixing may be assured by counting the strokes of the shaft as the mixing is done. It has been found that a pattern of about five revolutions of the dasher per single stroke end to end and about thirty strokes should be sufiicient to mix most materials. However, some materials may require more mixing, and it is better to overmix than to leave unmixed material in the cartridge. As the materials will start to cure as soon as the components are placed in contact with each other, the mixing should be completed as rapidly as Thus, for material having a very short cure time, it may be desirable to mix the components by coupling the shaft to a small electric rotary device, such as a portable electric drill or the like of well known construction readily available from various sources.
When mixing is completed, the shaft 78 should be inserted as far as possible into the cartridge 2%, returning dasher 54 to its position in engagement with piston 56, as shown in FIG. 4. Shaft 78 is then unscrewed from dasher 54, it being usually necessary to grasp cartridge 26 adjacent dasher 54 and squeeze the cartridge against the dasher to prevent the latter from turning with the shaft. Plug 23 is then unthreaded from spout 24 and discarded. Spout Z4 is provided with external threads 98 for threaded engagement with a nozzle or the like 118 (see FIG. 1). Nozzle 113 may be of any suitable shape to fit the particular application, and is positioned in threaded engagement on the spout prior to dispensing material from the cartridge.
In FIG. 1 there is shown a hand held gun 129 which may be utilized to dispense the mixed material to a desired location. In general, gun 120 comprises a handle 122 with a trigger 124- pivotally mounted as at 125 thereon and carrying a dog 123. Trigger 124 is biased away from handle 122 by a spring 136. A toothed rod 132 is slidably rotatably journaled in handle 1%, as shown. A second dog 13 i is pivotally mounted on the handle, and both dogs 123 and 134 are spring-ten'sioned against Rigidl y which is receivable within the skirt portion 69 of piston 56, and is preferably sized to urge the skirt into intimate contact with the cartridge wall to assist in preventing material seepage past the piston during dispensing. Rod 132 has teeth 13% along one edge thereof, and upon pressure gripping of trigger 124, dog $.23 engages a tooth E38,
urging the rod forwardly. Upon release of trigger 124,
dog 134 holds the rod .132 against reverse movement. Secured to handle 12?. is a forwardly opening, cup-shaped receiver 14ft adapted to receive the rear end of cartridge 24?. A sleeve 142 closely encircles cartridge 2% and has an externally threaded length 144 threadedly receivable .within receiver 140, trapping the flange or bead 48 on the cartridge between members 1 th and 142;. Red 134 extends slidably, rotatably through suitable apertures in handle 122, and may be rotated to disengage teeth 138 from dogs 12% and 134, whereby the rod may be selectively shifted relative to the handle without manipulation of trigger 1124.
To assemble the cartridge 20 in the gun 1%, rod 132 is retracted as far as possible, disposing plunger 136 within receiver 1140. Prior to assembly, closure cap 42 (see FIGS. 2, 3 and 4) is removed from cartridge 20 as by grasping tab 46 and disengag ng the cap from the head 49. Sieeve 142 is slipped over cartridge 2%, and the rear end of the cartridge inserted against the rear wall of the receiver, whereupon sleeve 142 is threaded into receiver 14% trapping the bead do therebetween to securely hold the cartridge suspended in the gun. Rod
Q 132 is then rotated to a position engaging teeth 133 with the dogs 123 and 134, and the trigger 124 depressed until material appears at the end of nozzle 113. Material may then be dispensed to the desired location through nozzle 118 by manipulation of trigger 124 to urge the plunger 136 and piston 56 toward the forward end of cartridge 20.
While the manually operated gun 129 has been shown and described to indicate a preferred mechanism for dispensing the mixture from its container, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that alternate means could be provided to dispense the mixture. For instance, a fluid pressure operated gun could be provided wherein the piston 56 would be shifted within the cartridge 20 by the application of fluid pressure thereagainst.

"My co-workers and I recently attended a charity bachelor auction that one of our MAJOR clients produced. I bid on some of the guys just for fun and won a date with a potential client. Awkward - yes, but it was kinda part of the job. And my boss is ecstatic and he's pushing for me to close the deal on this "date". However - my boyfriend is outraged and says the bid and date are cheating and if the tables were turned I would be furious!! I'm trying to convince him that it's just for work. This guy means nothing and I am obligated to go out with this man. What do you guys think? ~Sarah"

Odd situation
It was not "kinda part of the job." Whether you admit it or not you had an interest in the bidding that was outside of your work relationship. That is not to say you were looking for a date but you definately liked the control the bidding process gave you. An employer can't get you to spend your own money for such an event. Regardless, the situation you are in still exists. The bid itself is not cheating, it is charity. However the date is borderline at best. If your husband were to go on a date with his new young beautiful secretary you would be similarly outraged. This is a similar situation in that you may end up forming a working relationship on the date. If the bid obliges you to go on the date and you intend for it to be a business date you should offer for your boss to come along, although that might seem pushy to the prospective client. Unfortunatley the error in this situation was your bidding at the auction, at this point there is no real clean way out.

Sloooooow Super slow on my S5, and the weather has said the same thing ever since I downloaded the app: 33° with 3 mph wind. I like the map of all the vendors, and I like the balloon info...it's just SO SLOW.
Ok so far Just installed it on Thursday afternoon after the rain storm. Still shows 33F. Also would be great to know if the wx is impacting any of the schedule. Like when it was too windy to launch the other day.
Weather not accurate at all. 6pm Sat night, and the app shows 33 deg. Right.
Samsung Note: Does not work after install This app does not work on the Samsung note after install! Had to reboot phone and then the app started working. Changed rating from 1 star to 3. Need to force reboot after install or fix problem.
Perfect What an amazing app! All the information is accurate.and it's easy to use!!
This app ROCKS! The entire Balloon Fiesta schedule is broken down day-by-day! View a map of the balloon park. You can even search through all balloons and pilots or view the full list. It's all right there at your fingertips.

Hey kids, isn't vertical integration awesome? Thanks to Comcast's acquisition of NBC/Universal, the cable giant can now use its latest high-tech remote control to advertise its feature films directly to your living room! Let's all cheer for cross-promotional, cross-platform, market-targeted, gibberish-spouting synergy!! [More]
Comcast's New Remote Control Now Advertises Comcast-Distributed Kids Movie
Comcast Founder Ralph Roberts Dies At 95
Comcast founder Ralph Roberts, whose cable roots went back more than 50 years to a tiny operation serving around 1,200 customers in Tupelo, MS, passed away last night at the age of 95. [More]
Add Comcast To The List Of Rumored Merger Partners For T-Mobile
Not one to sit around and sulk after ditching its $45 billion bid to buy Time Warner Cable – or let a rival cable company beat it to the altar – the Lords of Kabletown are reportedly making eyes with the wireless industry, flirting with the idea of buying T-Mobile. [More]
Comcast Accused Of Deliberately Sabotaging Houston Sports Channel
Comcast Sportsnet Houston, which had exclusive access to Houston Rockets and Houston Astros games, was on the air less than a year when it was forced to declare bankruptcy in 2013. Not even a year later, the station — once valued at $700 million — was sold off to a joint venture of DirecTV and AT&T for a whopping $1,000. A new lawsuit accuses the cable company of deliberately submarining CSN Houston. [More]
Comcast Gives Woman's E-Mail Address Away To Someone Else, But Bills Her For That Person's Service
Given that Comcast has more than 20 million customers spread out around the country, you'd think it would have figured out how to handle billing two subscribers with the same name. But apparently the company is utterly baffled by this notion and has no problem with taking away one customer's longtime e-mail address and giving it another subscriber, while at the same time sending the new customer's bill to the wrong person. [More]
Comcast Launches New Support Forums For Customers To Help Each Other
Comcast is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in improving its public image (and hopefully its customer service), and part of that revamp is taking place in the newly relaunched Comcast support forums, where customers can get help from the people best poised to answer their questions: other Comcast customers. [More]
Is Comcast Running Manipulative "Push Poll" In Response To Philly Customer Service Study?
Earlier this spring, Philadelphia released its Needs Assessment Report regarding Comcast, the city's primary cable/broadband provider, one of its biggest employers, and the tenant of its tallest tower. The results of the survey were not good, with 99% of the written responses unfavorable to Comcast. At the time, the company said the report was innaccurate and said it would "deliver comprehensive proof" to the city. A new telephone poll being conducted on Comcast's behalf appears to be in response to the city's report, but some who've taken the survey say the questions being asked are designed to put Comcast in the best possible light. [More]
Time Warner Cable Has Lowest Customer Satisfaction Score Of All U.S. Companies, Not Just Cable Providers
In news that backs up the results of a recent Consumer Reports survey, Time Warner Cable's pay-TV service is not just dead last on the American Customer Satisfaction Index's rankings of cable companies, but of all companies in the entire Index. [More]
Survey Says: Everyone Still Hates Comcast's, TWC's Customer Service
Comcast keeps promising that this is the year their legendarily bad customer service gets an overhaul, but consumers don't seem to be buying it. A national survey asking consumers about cable and internet companies has, once again, dropped Comcast and Time Warner Cable right at the very bottom of the heap. [More]
Why Your Cable Company Doesn't Always Know If Your New Address Gets Service
There's a story we hear far too often: someone is buying a house. Before they put any money down, they do their research. They call the local cable/Internet provider to make sure they can get broadband service at this new address. They double-check. They triple-check. They search the property for wires, call back, and make sure they'll be okay. Then they take out the mortgage, move in, and… surprise! There's no broadband service after all, there won't be any, and now they're up a very expensive creek. [More]
FCC Chair: Relax, Cable Companies, Not All Mergers Are Necessarily Doomed Forever
The collapse of the much-discussed, absolutely enormous Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger earlier this year might have been an occasion for consumers and consumer advocates to cheer — but for businesses, it was much less good news. Cable companies that want to buy other cable companies are kind of freaked out: what if the FCC is hostile to their plans, too? [More]
The People Of Minneapolis May Someday Get To Choose Something Other Than Comcast
A year ago, when we investigated the sad state of broadband competition in the U.S., Minneapolis was one of the markets we mapped to to show just how few choices people had. As you can see from the map above, the city is almost exclusively Comcast territory, but that may change over the next five years thanks to a recent city council vote. [More]
Report: FCC May Look Into Comcast's Don't-Call-Them-Data-Caps If Implemented Nationwide
For more than two years, Comcast has been testing data caps — sorry, "data thresholds" — in various markets around the country. With the possibility of this usage-based pricing model being rolled out on a nationwide basis, a new report claims that the FCC could use its new authority to scrutinize the data limitations. [More]
Cable Company CEOs Now Say Net Neutrality Is Not A Threat To Their Business
In the months leading up to the FCC's vote on new net neutrality rules, the cable industry claimed that reclassifying broadband service to treat it more like a utility would harm investment and innovation (not to mention the outright lie that it would give control of the Internet to the government). Now that Neutrality is on the books (but still a few weeks away from being implemented), some of the biggest names in the cable industry are now shrugging their shoulders and saying it's really not a big deal. [More]
Comcast Says Customer Must Sign Non-Disclosure Agreement To Get $600 Refund
When your cable company has charged you hundreds of dollars for a cable box you returned five years ago, you'd hope that the response would be "Sorry about that. Here's your money back," not "We'll give you your refund if you agree to not tell anyone about this." [More]
Here Is Comcast's 10-Point Action Plan For Winning Over Customers
For years, Comcast's plan to win over customers was to do absolutely nothing because they — just like most cable companies — were the only choice. But with its pay-TV subscriber numbers dropping, the company is realizing that can indeed lose customers by treating them horribly. In an e-mail obtained by Consumerist, Comcast leadership has outlined its optimistic plan to win back all those customers who hate being residents of Kabletown. [More]
Comcast Customers Will Get $20 When Tech Shows Up Late
While many opponents of the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger were primarily concerned about putting too much control over the pay-TV and broadband markets in one company's hands, some just really disliked Comcast for its history of abominable customer service. Now that this acquisition has failed, Comcast is promising to invest some of its money in turning that we-don't-care image around. The company says it will be hiring thousands of new customer service staffers and customers whose Comcast techs don't show up on time will receive $20 bill credits. [More]
Group Sponsored By Comcast Gives An Award To Comcast
Sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back after a job well done. But if you're a company for whom accolades may be in short supply, it helps to sponsor (and have one of your executives be in charge of) a professional organization that is willing to give you an attaboy when you need one.

This is a great recipe, but I do have to agree that it comes out a little chewy. I made one batch of chocolate caramel corn and then made a second batch of just caramel and almonds. I mixed the ...
The flavor was really good, but make sure you bake it long enough. It was my first time making any kind of caramel corn and it was soft instead of crunchy. I'll know better next time!
This is great. We added toasted almonds and it was fabulous. Only problem was that the corn severely stuck to the wax paper. I want to make this again, but have no idea what to do so that it ...

Dinosaur brutality at its finest. You want an awesome dinosaur fighting game? Than look no futher. Primal Rage is it.
Gameplay: This fighting game is unlike any other fighting game you'll ever play. I say that because you get to fight as dinosaurs and giant apes, how cool is that ? In this game you play as one of seven dinossaurs/apes (five dinosaurs and 2 apes to be exact). You can either play as Diablo, a hellish looking T-rex, Blizzard, a cold blooded killer ape, Sauron, a crazy telepathic T-rex, Talon, a crazy fast and deadly raptor, Vertigo, the poisonous long necked dino, Chaos, a crazy King kong like ape, and Armadon, a vicious crazy triceratops. Well, just like any other fighting game you got your basic moves like you got your high and low attacks. But, instead of punching and kicking like humans do, in Primal Rage you get to tail whip, bite, slash with your claws, and kick slash with your claws too. Mixing some of those moves up add up to some deadly combos. If you do these fast enough you can make your enemy brain dead for a couple of seconds which means they can't move and it's your chance to get more attacks on your opponent which is very helpful. Each character has there own special moves like Blizzard has his Ice breath attack, and Chaos with his weird fart bubble attack which is weird but cool, Sauron has his telekinetic force field, Diablo has his fireball attack which is pretty rad and those are just some of the cool special moves you can pull off. After you have beaten your opponent in two rounds, you can choose to humilliate them by performing a finishing move on them. (like a fatality on mortal kombat). For example, Sauron's Crusher, he just jumps really high in the air and then he just stomps on corpse and turns it into mushy guts. It's a pretty awesome finishing move. Primal Rage has a 2-player versus mode which is pretty fun to whoop your friends at.
Graphics: The graphics look great with it's awesome looking levels like Diablo's level that has the raging volcano is nice to look at as is Armadon's cave level which looks too cool. The dinosaurs/apes themselves just look fantastic. Blood spraying out of your opponent and yourself is just plain brutal and awesome to look at as is watching your opponents heart explode when you just beaten him.
Sound: The music in the game is interesting with its tribal tunes and whatnot. In other words the music is just great ear candy. The roar and yelps of the dinos/apes sound outstanding.
Replay Value: This is one of those fighters that you come back to in like a week or so. The 2-player versus mode well definetly bring you back as well as the single player. All in all it's a great fighting game that should be played from time to time.

May as well go do the international stuff if he has to play against lesser competition.
90% of this tournament probably won't play in the NHL. I think the rate in the AHL right now is a little higher with way stronger defenders and checkers to get him more ready. I don't really get that logic. The logic here isn't really logic, it's emotional and nationalistic pride. I'm cool with that and I also have it but don't twist it into some argument where playing against, basically, kids like 10 times below his skill level is making him a better hockey player.
In all reality, spending Christmas around the apartment and hanging out together with Schultz, Eberle and Hall all the time and becoming a really tight-knit group is probably more conducive to a winning atmosphere overall for the Oilers sake in the long run. Is playing with Boone Jenner and Scott Harrington for two or three weeks making RNH a "winner?" A lot of it is TSN narrative from the 2005 team. The reason those guys all became unreal players is because they were unreal players and prospects, playing on the WJC team isn't a magic winning potion. We want our core to be like brothers going forward and do anything to win for each other so I don't really see it from that aspect.
What gives a kid more confidence, putting up 1.5 ppg in the AHL against grown men and seeing this tournament being played in his peripherals, or putting up stupid points like a shinny game against some kids that will be in a fight for their life to even make the AHL?
Again, I know people's sense of Team Canada pride tends to take over but that's just how I view it.

The State Police said nine people were ejected from the bus during the accident. One person was being treated for life-threatening injuries Sunday. Two others, the driver and a passenger, were being treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The remaining 13 passengers suffered minor injuries.
State Police identified the crashed vehicle as a shuttle bus operated by America Transportation. An answering service dispatcher for that company said America Transportation had no information to release. A person who replied to an email sent to the company's address referred questions to the Virginia State Police.
News photographs taken at the site early Sunday showed police had erected orange safety cones at the site and used floodlights to illuminate the overturned bus. It was on its right side in a grassy area, its rear pointed away from a crumpled guardrail. Crews were visible using a tall crane trying to right the bus. Its windshield was shattered and much of its right side crumpled from the right front bumper backward.
Associated Press reporter Bill Cormier contributed to this report from Atlanta.

The Massachusetts Port Authority Board approved a partial project budget of $4 million to enhance high occupancy vehicle (HOV) use at Boston Logan International Airport and improve customer service with dynamic signage announcing next bus arrival times and re-aligning terminal curb usage to maximize efficiency.
A new Rental Car Center will start operating this fall with a unified bus system that will replace more than 90 rental car company buses and Massport shuttle buses with 28 new 60-foot articulated buses.
A key element of the partial budget of $4 million approved by the board is the fabrication and installation of dynamic messaging signs that provide real-time HOV information to passengers about buses that will take passengers to the Airport Blue Line T Station, the Rental Car Center and the Logan Express bus system to four suburban parking lots.
Last year, Massport, working with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, installed countdown signs for the Silver Line at all terminals.
The program will include new wayfinding signs directing passengers to HOV ground transportation and enhanced curb allocations for HOV at the arrivals level of all four terminals in time for the opening of the Rental Car Center.
Massport's promotion of HOV use includes making trips on the Silver Line from the airport to downtown free; promoting the use of Logan Express from the suburban sites in Braintree, Framingham, Woburn and Peabody, by lowering parking and bus fare at peak times, and increasing the daily parking rate at Logan's Central Parking garage last year from $24 a day to $27 a day.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.
