Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running
Donoghue, O, Harrison, A, Laxton, P and Jones, RK 2008, 'Lower limb kinematics of subjects with chronic Achilles tendon injury during running' , Research in Sports Medicine, 16 (1) , pp. 23-38.

This study examined the kinematic differences between subjects who had a history of chronic Achilles tendon (AT) injury and matched controls during running. Eleven subjects from each group ran barefoot (BF) and shod at self-selected speeds on a treadmill. Three-dimensional angles describing rearfoot and lower limb motion were calculated throughout stance. Five footfalls were obtained for each subject and condition. Pairwise comparisons revealed greater eversion, ankle dorsiflexion and less leg abduction during stance in the AT group compared with controls. Running kinematics were exaggerated in shod compared with BF conditions, as expected from previous research. The differences between conditions were more exaggerated in AT subjects compared with control subjects. Further analysis using a curve-based approach is recommended

PC-SPES (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Laboratory / Animal / Preclinical Studies
By incorporating PC-SPES into the rat diet, researchers conducting an in vivo study showed antitumor effects using a Dunning R3327 rat prostate cancer model. Levels of 0.05% and 0.025% of dietary PC-SPES were fed to the rats over a 6-week period. No toxicity was seen, nor was there a difference in the food intake of the rats during this time. Pulmonary tumors were induced by intradermal injections of MAT-LyLu cells, which are particularly resistant to many forms of treatment. Tumor incidence was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, and the rate of tumor growth showed the same dose-dependent response.[8,9]
In another study, which used male BNX nu/nu immunodeficient nude mice, PC-SPES was also administered orally, but in suspension. The mice received 300 rad of whole-body irradiation, after which they were inoculated with either PC-3 or DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines. Treatment with PC-SPES began the day after injection. Results showed that PC-SPES suppressed the growth of DU-145 tumors compared with tumor growth in the control group. Cytological analysis showed apoptosis in the treated group that was not apparent in the control group.[10]
In two other studies, clinical studies of patients were initiated along with in vitro and in vivo research. The results of these two patient groups are discussed in the Human/Clinical Trials section of this summary. The first study, preceding more extensive research, examined in vitro activity of PC-SPES against LNCaP, LNCaP-bcl-2, PC-3, and DU-145 cells lines. Results showed that PC-SPES was active in suppressing both hormone -sensitive and hormone-insensitive prostate cancer cell lines. In the subsequent study, research was conducted in vitro on the ability of PC-SPES to induce apoptosis in androgen-independent (AI) prostate cancer cell lines, and in vivo on the effect of oral PC-SPES on the growth of xenografted PC-3 tumors in immunodeficient male mice. Mice in the treatment arm-in which treatment was started 1 week after implantation-showed a significant decrease in tumor weight when compared with mice in the control arm. PC-SPES showed activity against both androgen -sensitive and AI prostate cancer in the patients and suppressed tumor growth in AI tumors in mice.[10,11,12] In both studies, the patients were given capsules manufactured between 1996 and 1999, a time when contamination levels of DES were highest.[6]

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

LEAF International | Guatemala
Located in Tejar, Guatemala | Founded 2007 | 165 Preschool to Middle School Students Served
The music program makes a profound impact on these children's lives. Coming to school a couple hours a day to play music is what these children look forward too. And parents donated whatever possible to make this happen! Now that is inspiration!Celeste Dunn
Project Overview
LEAF International works with Child Aid and the CEDIN School in Gautemala, a FUNDIT-sponsored Montessori preschool. Through this project, an extra-curricular music program meets at the CEDIN School, who allow LEAF International to use their space after school. 15 classes are offered each week that immerse students in their own cultural traditions and empower them to pursue their talents. The music teachers work with around 105 preschool students and 55 primary and middle school students. Students are introduced to rhythm, music theory, singing, musical instruments, and dance. LEAF International funds the music teachers' salaries and local instruments made by local artists.
In 2012, a group of young musicians from this program, ages 11 to 18, left their village in Guatemala for the first time to give an inspiring performance at the Fall LEAF festival. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to read more about this life-changing visit!
The LI Guatemala program has brought both tangible and intangible impacts to individuals and the community at large.
According to 2013 Surveys:
- 165 preschool to middle school youth served annually
- 100% of students believe that their LI Program is having a good impact on their lives
Through the project, students gain:
- Classes in Marimba, Guatemala's national instrument, Mandolin, Keyboard, Recorder and Guitar
- Percussion Skills
- Orchestra & Choir ensemble practice; learning how to play in a group
- Regular performance opportunities at village concerts & regional competitions
Meet a Teaching Artist
Sara Morales has been teaching for LEAF International for nine years, and currently teaches classes with her students 2 nights a week. An avid music lover and an individual proud of her Guatemalan heritage, she finds teaching for LI not only a rewarding opportunity, but important work. Why? She tells us that this work is meaningful to her,
"because art is to share and it is very important to teach our traditions to our youth so that they value and appreciate our culture. When our students perform music it gives importance to our traditions. The people in our community value the work that we do, and our students are a positive example for other young people in our community who think only foreign music has value. We are preserving our culture by passing it down to new generations. This work is important because there a fewer spaces [for our traditional culture] because of globalization."
Meet a Student
At 16 years of age, Mario Rene Figueroa Niche dreams of being a percussionist in a large orchestra. His father is a farmer, but makes very little money. The family can't afford school so Mario helps his father. Mario's parents don't see the value in obtaining an education. Sara, Mario's percussion teacher, says he has a natural talent. She invited him to participate in the band even though he is not studying at the school. Gangs are very prominent in El Tejar, but Mario receives a sense of belonging from the music program, something positive. The band has become Mario's passion. In his words,
"From an early age, I have had contact with marimba music because my grandfather is a marimba player (marimbista, in Spanish) and have learned to love and admire our music, but as a student in LEAF International I have found that music is universal, that speaks the same language, that unites us, that there is no border." -Mario Niche, LI Student, 2013

LEAF International, Child Aid, PEG, and David LaMotte partner to launch the program.
Child Aid: Child Aid provides scholarships for each student to attend the Cedin School. Child Aid's mission is to create opportunities for impoverished rural and indigenous Latin Americans through childhood literacy and education programs.
Guatemalan Culture
Opportunity is limited and poverty is a challenge. The children of El Tejar often start working when they are as young as six years old by mixing clay for bricks. El Tejar is known for the production of candles, textiles and musical instruments. Mayan instruments include drums, made mostly from wood and tortoise shell, and maracas. Pre-Hispanic music was mostly instrumental; ceramic ceremonial flutes, ocarinas, and conch trumpets have been found in the area. Recently there has been a blending of Guatemalan and Mexican music.
For more information see the Popul Vuh, translated as "the Book of Community," which contains mytho-historical narratives of Mayan culture in Guatemala.

What would be the best way to monitor activity of a user on the page? I am developing a CMS system and using this as a security feature, if user is inactive for set amount of minutes then jQuery would trigger a function which would trigger whole page overlay and load in login script having to force the user to re-enter the password in-order to reopen the page or else after so many failed attempts PHP would force the user to logout script and destroy entire session.
So here how it would go
If no activity after 5min
jQuery(checks user activity every 5min) -> loop <- jQuery(if no activity after 5min) -> function(trigger overlay + authorization script via AJAX)
If there is activity
jQuery(checks user activity every 5min) -> loop <- jQuery(if active go back to loop)
So ye this is about it, thanks in advance.
Activity Definition for this script: Movement of mouse or input(keyboard) of text into text fields or clicking elements.

The Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast Travel Guide
The hand-painted floor tiles and ceramic plates decorating the hotels and restaurants along the coast come from the famous workshops of Vietri sul Mare, a suburb of Salerno at the east end of Amalfi Drive.
About two hours south of Rome, chef-owner Berardino Lombardo runs daily cooking classes at his four-room property using ingredients sourced from the hotel's 100-acre farm, filled with wild chicory, heirloom Annurche apples, and even semi-wild black Casertano pigs.
The recently opened gourmet store stocks everything from blood-orange marmalade and mozzarella to sauces and condiments. Raro also serves light lunches and snacks.
The De Martino brothers bake terra-cotta-colored tiles in a 450-year-old wood oven.
The 18th-century villa on the narrow Via San Nicola houses a museum that highlights even more woodwork. The gift shop sells high-end housewares and furniture by designer Alessandro Fiorentino and his three architect sons.
For a fraying-at-the-edges window into that exalted era of the 19th-century grand tour, pop into Sorrento's "Foreigner's Club" bar, home to the town tourist office and still patronized largely by English-speaking tourists for one very good reason: the view.
Tenuta Vannulo is to mozzarella di bufala a bit what Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate are to Cabernet Sauvignon: artisanal, scarce, legendary. At 8 a.m., people are already queueing at the doors of the bottega for cheese made just two or three hours earlier.
The glowing turquoise waters in the half-submerged Grotta dello Smeraldo, along the coastal road between Praiano and Amalfi, don't quite compare to the Blue Grotto on nearby Capri, but the blue-green pool does make for a fun diversion along the coast.
Sorrento's main pedestrian street is lined with several shops handing out free samples of the Amalfi Coast's famous sugary limoncello (lemon liqueur) and its creamy cousin crema di limone.
Built into a cliff overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, this full-service bar has a bright, simple interior and an outdoor wooden terrace, shaded by a canopy of thick-green vines.
Sorrentinos and tourists rub shoulders at the blue-and-green Bisazza-tiled bar on the main piazza. Join them for aperitifs (sparkling white wine; fresh fruit cocktails) or after-dinner drinks (limoncello or finocchietto, made with wild fennel).
Inspired by the sunny, Mediterranean lifestyle of Capri, Tony Aiello launched this label of handmade, ultra-light, linen wear for men, women, and children predominantly in white, khaki, and cocoa colors.
The museum houses ancient artifacts, including the Coppa di Nestore (mentioned in Homer's Iliad), from the ancient Greek settlement of Pithecusae.
The best way to enjoy the precipitous and beautiful Amalfi Drive is to avoid the hair-raising hassle of driving it yourself and instead take the public bus.

My brother's A-10 thunderbolt
About this creation
About the model
This is my brother's A-10 thunderbolt. I helped him build it, though it is mostly him who built it. We spent an entire day building this. It is My brother's entry to my attack aircraft contest. It includes a cargo hold aft of the cockpit. It has more ordinance than any other Aircraft built in my house.
Please don't grade the warthog on my building skills but on my brother's building skills combined(to a lesser extent)with my techniques
Info on aircraft (wikipedia)
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.
The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. The A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog". As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. A-10s used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

Deadly Domino
Dien Bien Phu -- one of the biggest and most costly blunders in modern military history.
Valley of Death: The Tragedy at Dien Bien Phu That Led America into the Vietnam War
By Ted Morgan
(Random House, 722 pages, $35)
For Ho Chi Minh, né Nguyen Sinh Cung, peripatetic professional revolutionary and alumnus of the Soviet Union's University of the Toilers of the East, founder in 1941 of the Vietminh independence movement against French colonial rule in Indochina, it had been a long wait. Some 50,000 French colons had ruled for decades over Vietnam's native population of 20 million Annamites, creaming off the profits from the land's rubber, coal, tin, and tungsten. Now at last he smelled blood. French blood, in the broad, mountain-ringed valley known as Dien Bien Phu.
As he saw it, the situation was simple. To illustrate it for an inquiring visitor, Ho turned his pith helmet over on the austere bamboo table that served as his desk. Placing his hands in the bottom of the hat, he said, "That's where the French are." Then, running his fingers around the helmet's rim, "That's where we are. They will never get out."
Simple indeed, and you have to wonder whether only a French general would fail to get it. Certainly President Dwight Eisenhower, a man of some military experience, had to agree with Ho on that point. "Finally, [the French] came along with this Dien Bien Phu plan," he wrote in his memoirs. "As a soldier, I was horror-stricken. I just said, 'My goodness, you don't pen up troops in a fortress, and all history shows that they are just going to be cut to pieces.'"
But French generals, shifting arrows on wall maps back at headquarters, decided this god-for-saken spot in the northwest corner of Vietnam was just the place to get General Vo Nguyen Giap's hit-and-run guerrillas into the sort of conventional, set-piece battle the French could win after eight years of harassment. The plan had the advantage, in their eyes, of drawing the Viet-minh away from the important Tonkin Delta and cutting off their advances toward nearby Laos. Not incidentally, a victory at Dien Bien Phu might just win back some flagging public support among the French public for the Indochina war. So the first French paratroops dropped into the valley on November 20, 1953, and began setting up their base.
The generals were wrong, as we know. Why and how they could be so wrong, committing one of the biggest and most costly blunders in modern military history, is the subject of a new work by Ted Morgan. A French-born naturalized American citizen formerly known as Sanche de Gramont, Morgan, author of biographies of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill as well as studies of the settling of the American West, recounts the 56-day battle itself in horrific detail.
But this is more than just another retelling of the siege. Thanks to newly opened archives in France and China and recently declassified top-secret U.S. documents, Morgan, a French army veteran, also shows the extent of Chinese aid to the Vietminh and how America was gradually, reluctantly, controversially drawn into the Vietnam War. That, plus detail on how the quarrelling, horse-trading diplomats at the hectic 1954 Geneva Conference partitioned the country, make this book a worthy complement to earlier descriptions of the battle, such as Bernard Fall's indispensable Hell in a Very Small Place, published in 1967.
IT WAS 55-YEAR-OLD General Henri Navarre, appointed overall commander of forces in Indochina in May 1953, who chose Dien Bien Phu for the French stand. A career intelligence type, not a combat officer, and with a preference for the European theatre, he protested that he had never served in Asia and knew nothing about Indochina. Paris's answer: "Someone has to do it....You will see it with fresh eyes....Find an honourable way out." As Morgan's thorough research shows, when Navarre flew to France's headquarters in Hanoi to work out final details with his commanders on the ground, they unanimously rejected the plan. Drop paratroops over enemy-held terrain? "You're going to lose 50 percent of your men," they told him. In his later memoirs, Navarre baldly writes, "No unfavourable opinion was expressed before the battle."
The augurs were never good. To start with, Navarre immediately requested more troops, but France's pusillanimous Fourth Republic government refused. (Comments Morgan: "It was like turning off the hydrants while fighting a fire.") Of the nearly 15,000 troops in the garrison when it reached full strength, only a minority were French. The rest were from France's pickup colonial armies of Algerians, Moroccans, Laotians, and Vietnamese, plus mostly German members of the Foreign Legion. The latter were especially useful, because "They never complained, and when they were killed, no one claimed their corpses."
Then there was Navarre's questionable choice to command the stronghold. Colonel Christian de Castries was a cavalry officer. When offered Dien Bien Phu, he replied candidly, "If you're thinking of setting up an entrenched camp, this isn't my line. I'd rather you picked somebody else." Too bad. So an officer used to carrying the battle to the enemy and operating in the open field of rapid tank advances was ordered to head what was, in effect, a defensive Maginot Line. All the initiative would be left to the Vietminh guerrillas.
Castries soldiered on, repairing the small airstrip that the Viets had previously pitted with holes. Until it was ready, everything had to be parachuted in, from canned cassoulet to bales of barbed wire and a six-ton bulldozer in two parts. Then eight fortified "centers of resistance" were created. There were underground surgical units -- and two Bordels Mobiles de Campagne (Mobile Field Bordellos), one with 11 Algerian women and the other with five Vietnamese, each with its own madam.
All this was closely observed by two very interested parties: General Giap and the Eisenhower administration.
Giap had his own plans for Dien Bien Phu. The French assumed he would be unable to bring in artillery on the region's narrow, twisting mountain roads. But Giap mobilized a virtual army of thousands of coolies. Working in gangs of hundreds, they manhandled in mortars, 105 mm cannon, recoilless rifles, antiaircraft guns, and 12-tube Katyusha rocket launchers, much of it provided by Communist China. He had nearly 150 artillery pieces securely dug into the sides of the mountains, compared with 60 French pieces exposed in the valley. Advised of this, Navarre was already having doubts in January 1954. "Two weeks ago I was one hundred percent sure of winning at Dien Bien Phu," he reported to Paris, "but given the new means our intelligence is announcing....I can no longer guarantee success."
The Eisenhower administration, unlike Giap, was divided over what to do. On one hand, Ike, like every administration since Franklin Roosevelt, was loath to help the French in a colonial war. On the other, the domino theory -- Morgan calls it a "catchy but fallacious notion" -- had been dogma in Washington since at least April 1950. That was when President Harry Truman signed off on NSC 64, which held that if the French could not contain Ho's forces, the rest of Asia would go Communist. (The U.S. chargé in Saigon was even more alarmist: If Indochina fell, "most of the colored races of the world [sic] would in time fall to the Communist sickle.") In May Truman approved $10 million in aid for Indochina and sent a military assistance group. "At this point," Morgan writes, "the tragedy of Indochina became the shared responsibility of the French and the Americans."
Having just gotten the U.S. out of the Korean War, Ike considered any direct American armed intervention in Vietnam unacceptable. "No one could be more bitterly opposed to ever getting the United States involved in a hot war in that region than I am," he told a press conference. But in January 1954, Ike approved sending 700 tons of military equipment to Vietnam aboard a squadron of C-119 Flying Boxcars with French insignia, piloted by American civilians under CIA contract. By March the U.S. was actually paying for fully 80 percent of France's Vietnam War.
Giap attacked on March 13. His artillery quickly made the airstrip unusable, so all French reinforcements and supplies had to be parachuted in despite thick antiaircraft flak. After his troops had dug trenches to within a few hundred yards of the garrison, they advanced in human waves, starting with "death volunteers" who threw themselves at French positions with 20 pounds of TNT strapped to their chests. Morgan's research turned up reports and letters home that give vivid descriptions of the carnage. One Legion officer wrote to his wife of "human waves of Viets drunk on choum (rice alcohol) marching over their own dead and attacking with flamethrowers. Our men have bloodied uniforms and ravaged, ghostlike faces." Another described an artillery barrage: "It was like the end of the world. I thought the sky was falling. We were glued to the ground." A German Legionnaire summed up, "We kill them but they just keep coming. Alles kaput!"
On a single day early in the siege, doctors performed 23 amputations, plastered 15 broken ribs, sewed up 20 open abdomens and chests. As one surgeon described it, "Piles of hands, arms, legs and feet mixed together as in some foul bouillabaisse. Maggots swarmed in bandages and plaster casts." Machine guns were manned by amputees, who urinated on their red-hot bar-els to cool them. As morale declined, Castries's chief of staff had a nervous breakdown and had to be evacuated. His artillery commander, who had boasted he would easily wipe out Giap's guns, held a grenade to his body and pulled the pin. Hundreds of deserters, mainly colonial troops, fled to the banks of the Nam Yum River and lived off the plunder from errant air-dropped supplies and stripped corpses.
With no avenue of retreat, only surrender was possible. By May 7, the battle had cost France 16 battalions, two artillery groups, and a squadron of tanks. (Vietminh losses were heavier, but Giap had a virtually inexhaustible supply of manpower.) Castries got his headquarters in Hanoi on the radiophone to say he was sending out negotiators to meet the Vietminh. "Listen, mon vieux," replied his delusional chief, "I realize it's all over, but avoid any form of capitulation. That is forbidden. We must have no white flags." Some 10,000 French prisoners were taken. Those who survived forced death marches spent months in camps where mortality rates ran more than 60 percent.
MORGAN SKILLFULLY WEAVES together his narrative of the battle with the diplomatic games being played at the Geneva Conference, which opened April 26 and lasted almost three months. There the U.S., Britain, France, Soviet Union, China, and the nations of Indochina (Cambodia, Laos, and representatives of both the Vietminh in the north and the State of Vietnam in the south) debated and jockeyed for position over what had been a colonial conflict and became a superpower proxy war.
Dulles took a hard line and earned the enmity of Britain's Anthony Eden (Prime Minister Winston Churchill privately called Dulles "a stupid sermonizer"), who feared that Dulles wanted to bomb China. Chou En-lai sought the spotlight to raise China's standing as a world power. The French dithered, intellectualized, and drove the others crazy with their shifting positions. In internal memos Britain's Foreign Office lamented the excessive "mental dexterity" of the French, "the hopeless instability of French thought."
The conference ended July 21, 1954, with the partitioning of Vietnam at the 17th parallel. As Morgan puts it, "France lost the crown jewel of its colonial empire." Some of the French press tried to turn defeat into victory. Thus Paris Match called Dien Bien Phu "the capital of heroism." But most saw it clearly, like Le Figaro, which editorialized, "During these nine years of war, opportunities to win...were lost because of our weakness...we fought this war shamefully."
The domino effect hit France itself. The humiliating defeat at Dien Bien Phu contributed to the fall of the Fourth Republic and the return to power of Charles de Gaulle. Next to topple were France's West African and North African colonies. Thus it can be argued that, to a large extent, the spectacular blunder at Dien Bien Phu weakened France's self-confidence and hastened the end of its colonial empire. In this book Morgan, with his Franco-American perspective, neatly dovetails military and diplomatic history of a high order to clarify such ramifications -- both in France and the U.S. -- for history buffs and the general reader as well.
Sequel: Today Dien Bien Phu boasts the Victory Statue, a splendid example of grandiose neo-Stalinist style. Dedicated in 2004 to commemorate the battle's 50th anniversary, the metal work is already rusting and cracked. The Vietnamese bureaucrats who oversaw the project are accused of using inferior materials and pocketing the difference, faking documents to embezzle, and taking bribes.

i ordered a trampoline with roof cover over the phone. Trampoline arrived 6 weeks later but no roof cover. Called again and was told that they were out of stock. Several weeks later, called again, same excuse. This went on and on,most times, the phone just rang. I also e-mailed them without any luck. I eventually gave up after 6 months. Annoyed I did not take it any further. Surprised they are still in business… Read Full Review

Purchased an early product at great expense but thought the warrantee was helpful. When the frame broke they agreed to replace but it never came. I chased, called and emailed with little help. In the end the summer passed without a trampoline for the kids and I eventually brought a new one - their child hoods slipped away and the company could not give a dam. Consider looking elsewhere… Read Full Review

I've now waited 5 months for the ladder to turn up for this trampoline. Have contacted the vendor maybe 10-15 times by email cos he doesn't answer the phone!

I waited 3 weeks for delivery of replacement parts for my trampoline. When they arrived they were the wrong size and I returned them. The company are now unwilling or unable to tell me if they have received the items. They rarely reply to emails and there is no otherway to contact them as they do not answer the phone. I wish I had just bought a replacement trampoline from another company. The parts aren't that cheap and I could buy a new trampoline for less than I've given them for parts… Read Full Review

I ordered a play den and replacement trampoline pads for my son's trampoline from Jump for Fun about four weeks ago. It cost £100 altogether. I got an email to say the play den wasn't in stock but they would send the trampoline pads right away. A couple of days later the play den arrived but not the trampoline pads (I'm still waiting for those). We only opened it the other day but when we did it was impossible to erect as there were no instructions. We contacted their distributors to let… Read Full Review
Written on: 30/11/2014
UPDATE: I got a response from Jump for Fun that said they had previously responded to my email (they hadn't) and asking me to check that the instructions definitely hadn't arrived because nobody else had ever complained about not having instructions (!). I wrote back to reassure them that we had indeed checked the box thoroughly and that there really wasn't anywhere else to look. They then emailed me some instructions (thanks, guys!) but when I tried to assemble the play den, the poles wouldn't fit together and fell apart when moved. I think the item is probably a return that was sent back because it was faulty - it most certainly is not fit for purpose. I've asked them if they'll send a courier to pick the item up, but expect obfuscation and hassle. I will update when the situation is resolved.

The trampoline that we received was delivered quickly and in great condition.

I have read some poor reviews on this site concerning Jump for Fun's customer service. However, I can honestly say that I experienced the highest standard of customer service from the Jump for Fun team.

Staff have been trained in the art of good customer service in my opinion. I will certainly recommend this… Read Full Review

When my youngest decided that she wanted a trampoline for Christmas I was somewhat panicked. I didn't have a clue where to buy a high-quality trampoline or how much I should be looking to pay. When a friend recommended Jump for Fun I immediately visited the website. Pleased by what I saw (especially the prices!), I placed an order.

Apparently the first order confirmation did not arrive , sorry if this was so , but it is very unusual . The second order confused our sales person . He thought is was a duplication and put the order to accounts to refund .Then you chased the order and he assumed it was the first order ,but you confirmed you has taken delivery and actually had ordered another one in a different size. . He was confused to why you have ordered two different size tents within days of this and asked if it was correct . This is customer care and we did not assume any thing that you accuse us of in the slightest ,Im not sure why you think this . I hope you enjoy the tents as they are in deed great products ,what ever the size ! = )

how is it customer care to assume the order was a duplicate without checking with the customer and how could it be a duplicate when it was for a different sized tent. This just confirms your arrogance as still no apology!!!

We did check with you if you meant to order two different size tents , it is rather unusual ! Apologies if this sounds rude .

you did not and now you are simply wasting time and energy on both our behalfs. it was only when the promised next day delivery had not arrived nearly a week later that I contacted you and informed you that it was a second order. still no apology for the confusion on your part, the ddelays in receiving the product and the obvious lack of customer care.

Bought my 15ft five years ago for children with special needs. This product has taken a hammering! Used all the time. Used in recent years by a lot of 16 to 18 year olds. Can withstand some serious play at maximum ( and above) weight. Not had any injuries ever but have always had a net surround. Suffered a cigarette burn hole last summer and still continued use up to summer 2013 with no problems. Finally someone put their foot through the hole and mat was dead!

All though we are over whelmed with the amount of customers ordering items and returning them as they havent checked it will fit their trampoline , to be waiting since May for a refund is not acceptable .

unfortunately we can not check that each customer has ordered the correct item for your trampoline and you would of been sent what you ordered .Im very sorry if this come across as being rude , but I hope you understand . The phones always manned Monday to Friday and Some Saturday mornings so I am at a loss to why you have not have spoken to any one.Please raise a ticket and your refund process will be look into .maybe simply the back log of incorrectly ordered items have delayed the refund .

Eleven days after the Chicago White Sox gave the Houston Astros a facial massage, major-league general managers convene at the plush Hyatt Grand Champions Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, Calif., this week.
They will bathe in marble baths, crunch numbers on furnished balconies. Too bad this year's free-agent class doesn't offer similar deluxe amenities.
Talk of beauty will, for the most part, be reserved for the San Jacinto Mountains or those bronzing by the pool. The crop of players available isn't particularly sexy.
"I think the overall market is very thin. That's not an exaggeration; that's reality," Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "You can't make it any more than it is."
White Sox slugger Paul Konerko, whose every postseason home run came accompanied with a ka-ching, is the lone middle-of-the-order run producer available. Marlins pitcher A.J. Burnett, whose temper is as fiery as his fastball, heads a sparse group of available starters.
And Boston's Johnny Damon and Atlanta's Rafael Furcal represent the most coveted of commodities: a leadoff hitter who plays a premium defensive position.
"I think it's definitely to our advantage," said Furcal's agent, Paul Kinzer, who has fielded calls from the Braves, Mets, Cubs and Royals. "Being the prettiest girl at the prom is always a good thing.
A free-agent class lacking star power and multiple teams flush with money create a dynamic ripe for overspending and trades this winter. Baseball executives can roll their eyes at the limited options on the showroom floor, but the reality remains that signing a big-name free agent is still the quickest way to appease fans and address needs.
"Teams will spend," Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said. "And there will be some contracts that raise some eyebrows."
Konerko figures to land the biggest deal, settling somewhere around the five-year, $65 million range that Seattle used to lure Richie Sexson and Adrian Beltre a year ago. The White Sox desperately want him back - he is the face of the franchise, his at-bats greeted by chants of "Paulie! Paulie!" - but might not match the Angels' money.
Atlanta appears ready to concede Furcal's exit to the Cubs, and Toronto is the favorite to land Burnett. While there is little depth among position players and starting pitchers, there is notable value for closers.
Billy Wagner, who allowed fewer baserunners per nine innings than anyone this past season, brings heat and attitude. Left-hander B.J. Ryan, like the Rockies' Brian Fuentes, is one of the best ninth-inning exclamation points flying below the radar. Trevor Hoffman is putting the varnish on his Hall of Fame plaque, and while most believe he will end up in San Diego, where his brother was hired as the third-base coach, contract talks have gone nowhere.
"Actions speak louder than words," said Hoffman's agent, Rick Thurman.
Plenty of time will be spent this week laying the groundwork for big deals, a repeat of 2003 when the Diamondbacks shipped Curt Schilling to the Red Sox. Boston might have seen the last episode of "Manny Being Manny" with Manny Ramirez repeating his request to be dealt, preferably to the Angels. Pitcher David Wells wants out as well, and Arizona, looking for payroll flexibility, could dangle slugging third baseman Troy Glaus.
Movement will benefit a team like the Rockies, famous for getting involved in three-way trades. Colorado will be aggressive in trying to deal for White Sox left-hander Damaso Marte, Twins lefty J.C. Romero and catcher Josh Bard, whom Cleveland might be tempted to trade for Rockies first baseman Ryan Shealy.
"Just because we have money, it doesn't mean we have to spend it," Ricciardi said. "In this market, you have to look at all avenues."
With an eye and envy directed at the Chicago White Sox, teams have begun pursuing free agents to fill needs that are obvious and, in some cases, numerous. National baseball writer Troy E. Renck breaks down the top players available as general managers convene for their annual meetings this week in Palm Springs, Calif.:
Leading men
RHP A.J. Burnett: Fiery temper, sizzling fastball; four years, $40 million a starting point. Toronto the favorite.
RHP Kevin Millwood: Led AL in ERA; not going to take discount again.
LHP Jarrod Washburn: Quietly consistent; Wisconsin kid Brewers on whom might overextend.
RHP Matt Morris: Big curveball, gutsy. Hard to see him getting less than $21 million over three years.
RHP Jeff Weaver: In a pitching park, can be counted on for six innings every night.
LHP Billy Wagner: Fewest baserunners per nine innings. Mets, Braves, Phillies calling.
RHP Trevor Hoffman: Clock reaching midnight on Trevor Time in San Diego. Eyeing three-year deal.
LHP B.J. Ryan: Rare left-handed closer. Cubs interested. Yankees want him to set up Rivera.
LHP Scott Eyre: High Ks, low risk. Could close for right team.
1B Paul Konerko: Hope Diamond of weak class. How does $65 million over five years sound?
OF Johnny Damon: Cubs, Red Sox can offer the money - four years, $40 million - and marketing appeal.
SS Rafael Furcal: Mets, Cubs, Braves willing to spend big for leadoff hitter and shortstop.
C Ramon Hernandez: Wrist injury hurt stats. Has power at a thin position.
C Bengie Molina: Big postseason established him as top target. Mets' first choice.
OF Brian Giles: Not power threat he once was, but hits for average, gets on base and plays hurt.
OF Hideki Matsui: Expected to re-up with Yankees. Great clutch hitter.
Supporting actors
RHP Kyle Farnsworth: Potential closer for a mid-market team.
RHP Tom Gordon: Can be lured with a chance to become the ninth-inning guy.
OF Jacque Jones: Viewed as a perfect replacement if Giles leaves San Diego.
DH Mike Piazza: Would fit in Anaheim if Angels fail to land Konerko.
RHP Jose Mesa: A cheaper alternative to Wagner, Hoffman.
RHP Todd Jones: Is he the Braves' answer for a closer?
Small role, big help
3B Bill Mueller: Two years removed from a batting title.
SS Nomar Garciaparra: Is open to moving to the outfield.
C Brad Ausmus: Might not be a smarter player in the game.
2B Mark Grudzielanek: Great arm on double plays, reliable bat.
Trading spaces
OF Manny Ramirez: Wants out of Boston, with an eye toward Anaheim.
LHP David Wells: Asked to be traded back to the West Coast.
3B Troy Glaus: Arizona could move him, if it elects to keep Luis Gonzalez.
C Johnny Estrada: Braves have given rookie Brian McCann the job.
1B Carlos Delgado: If he asks out of contract, Mets would be poised to take him.

The "Johnny Lightning" ship series

Re: The "Johnny Lightning" ship series
I ended up having a Voyager, Reliant, NX-01 and a battle damaged Refit. I loved them, They had some great moulds and paint jobs. Although the glue they used was awful. My Refit has broken free of the saucer, the Reliants roll bar has come free, and the NX-01 has a loose nacelle.
I believe the reason they never released any of the smaller less known ships is because, it was about 10 years after the golden age of trek. It was going to be risky for Johnny Lightning (lets not forget they're part of the Polar Lights/Round 2 group) to make any less known ships.
One other problem I noted with my Voyager is it needs a repaint, as the paint is flaking off everywhere, also the nacelles drop down 45 degrees and will need a drop of glue to keep them in the middle.
The cloaked ships never did well. They still had tons of the cloaked D7s and BOPs at my local modelzone for years. I mean, who wants what's basically an unfinished clear kit?

This is quite possible & common scenario that PXEClient/BOOTP client and normal Windows Client exists in the same network and share a single scope of IPaddress. Normally, PXEClient are used only for very limited purpose & short period. Hence limiting the lease time for PXEClient/BOOTP is good practice. Windows 2003 & LongHorn support this feature for feeding different lease time for BOOTP and Normal clients.

I tried three other plugins that just didn't do what was needed. This one fit the bill! Contacted them by email and they responded right away. Amazing!!
Contacted Jay via email & got immediate response! Highly recommended!
the amazing plugin, i installed to my blog and make my car review log look like a profesional. is gife it easy way to manage my blog. easy to use. u can visit my blog toprove it in upcoming-cars.com
Can I just say that the plug-in author - Jay - is a *ROCK STAR* with his committed support. I downloaded the plug-in a few weeks ago and have been in communication with Jay who answered numerous questions I had on how to make this plug-in work the way I need it to.
Great job & I appreciate your time and hard work.
- Car Demon plug-in version 1.3.8 -
Great plugin. Takes a while to find a theme that works well - had to try 4 different themes before finding one that was almost bug free :) Keep up the great work.
I've been trying to contact these guys for 2 weeks -- that says it all.
I've done close to 200 websites, the majority WordPress, and have used a wide variety of plugins, both free and premium. But none have inspired me to write a review till my use of Car Demon. Car Demon is a fantastic plugin, with a dedicated developer who deserves some serious recognition for a job well done.
Car Demon is a breeze for clients to use, and fully loaded, delivering a professional car sales experience for all stakeholders. I have no doubt that Car Demon will exceed your expectations, its that good. And from what I've read the next version will be equally awesome. I'm hooked. You will be too. Many thanks for such a fine plugin.

I feel there is a bug in Car Demon plugin's "Refine Search", as it is displaying the count information by including the cars in the "Trash". This happens whenever cars(2 or more) with similar make | model are created & if one is moved to "Trash".
Look forward to hear back.

What a great plugin!
Thank you!
I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I find this plugin and its companion themes to be excellent.
One thing I would like to see however is support for short codes for the search engine so that third party mobile themes can work with it. When using a theme switcher for the third party mobile themes, widgets are eliminated; and therefore do not have access to the search widget.

Big-Boat Trends & InnovationsBy Michael Vatalaro
Published: October/November 2013
New options, from propulsion to stabilization, are popping up on midsize cruising and fishing boats. Here are some features you might see at the fall boat shows.
Joysticks For All — Even Sailors
We covered the march of fly-by-wire and joystick control in powerboats from pod-driven boats, to sterndrives, and finally outboard-powered boats last year, but you may not be aware that sailors can get the benefits of joystick control as well. Beneteau introduced Dock And Go a few years back on a 50-foot model, and has steadily expanded this offering to other boats in their lineup. Dock And Go is now available on all Beneteau models longer than 40 feet. The system links an azimuthing pod capable of rotating a full 360 degrees with a bow thruster, controlling the combination through a joystick. The result is a sailboat that can spin like a top, walk sideways against wind and current, and generally bend what most sailors would think are immutable laws of docking physics.
You've never seen a sailboat go sideways before? A Dock And Go demonstration at the Annapolis boat show draws a crowd every time.
