Pete Carroll sends message to Hawks
Seattle coach stresses to players the need to compete and buy into his program
Originally Published: August 8, 2010By Chris Mortensen | ESPN.com
RENTON, Wash. -- Pete Carroll isn't afraid to admit that his honeymoon with the Seattle Seahawks was stung by the NCAA sanctions that "will stay with me forever."
But even as he vows to assist USC in its fight to lessen its penalties, he knows he must be very focused coaching a Seahawks team that has suddenly dropped off the NFC West map. That's why he has two mottoes that must be adhered to: "Always compete" and "Buy in."
So when you see and hear the energy of a Seahawks practice, ...

Probably. But I'd go for the larger SSD because you never know what your space needs will be in the future. Usually, you will need more space.

I would go for more, it will be less expensive to get it "out of the box" rather than upgrading down the road. 128GB is not much storage these days, with the bloated applications, and if you have pics, video (which takes up a lot, as well as your music. My experience has been you always end up using more than you think you will.
Hope this helps

Hai there,
As a uni student - you really don't need all that much space for your studies...
(unless of course you store the videos taken in lecutes etc.)
Generally 128 GB is on the low side - with pictures, music, movies & applications; however if you're really only talking about documents - a couple of years worth of work will easily fit into 10 GB - so this should be enough...

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Consumers seek loyalty from brands
18 April 2013
NEW YORK: Brands seeking loyalty from consumers need to understand that shoppers want such a characteristic to be reciprocated, a survey has argued.
Analytic Partners, a marketing consultancy, surveyed 1,000 adults about their
shopping behaviour
and expectations, and found that 48% of those aged 18 to 44 years old thought that any loyalty they felt towards brands in the future would have to stem from the types of experiences brands created for them.
This includes interaction in the form of video, online gaming, social media and third-party expert information provided through blogs and articles.
"The general conclusion we can make from these findings is that people want to be loved by the brands that love them; loyalty has become a two-way street," said Nancy Smith, founder and CEO of Analytic Partners.
Brands can no longer simply act as advocates for themselves, she continued, adding that "the way brands spend their marketing dollars to interact with their consumers can ultimately have a real impact on profitability."
The survey also identified several areas where loyalty was a consideration for consumers or brands.
A 63% of majority shoppers expressed loyalty to the brands they bought on mass market ecommerce sites like Amazon and Walmart.com, for example.
Fully three-quarters also said the reviews they read on such platforms played an important role in the purchases they made.
Female shoppers were more likely to be loyal to brands than men, with 68% of women expressing such sentiments, as did 55% of men.
Geography, too, appeared to be a factor, as 67% of those respondents living in the south of the country tended to be brand loyal, compared to just 56% of those on the west coast.
Transparency was a particular issue for the baby boomer generation, with 80% saying brands should be clear about how their products are made.
Smith noted the continued growth of ecommerce and said that "new methods for consumer interaction are becoming a must for brands that want to strengthen retention and loyalty efforts."
She advocated a holistic look at brand data in order to "develop new ways to meet and exceed consumers' expectations".

The disparity in powers between the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and Ofcom has once again been highlighted after the latter was able to fine BT £800,000 for the late launch of a text-to-speech service – far in excess of anything the ICO can issue for data loss incidents.
The ICO can issue fines to a maximum of £500,000 for breaches of the Data Protection Act – breaches that often result in sensitive personal information being lost or stolen, causing huge distress for those concerned.
However, Ofcom – which in 2013 fined TalkTalk £750,000 for some nuisance calls to customers – has been able to issue a far larger fine to BT for the late launch of the Next Generation Text Service (NTGS).
The NTGS helps people with hearing or speech impediments to either type what they want to say and have it relayed to the person on the other end, or, if hard of hearing, to have what someone says to them translated to text to read on screen.
Ofcom issued the fine because BT was five months late in launching the service, putting it live in October, when it was slated for an 18 April launch.
BT explained that the delay was caused by a problem with the sound quality of emergency calls, something that came to light at a late stage of the development process.
Claudio Pollack, Ofcom's consumer and content group director, said the size of the fine showed how seriously the organisation took this failure.
"The size of the penalty imposed on BT reflects the importance of providing an improved text relay service to its customers with hearing and speech impairments," he said.
BT must pay the £800,000 penalty to Ofcom, which will then pass it on to HM Treasury.
In a statement BT apologised for the delay but said that since going live it was please to hear positive feedback from users.
"We're sorry we had to postpone the full launch of the Next Generation Text service. This was because of a safety issue with the quality of emergency calls that could have put users at risk," it said.
"The service has been warmly welcomed by users. Hearing and speech impaired people can now make faster, more fluent phone calls using ordinary smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs, as well as existing specialised terminals."
While no one would disagree that providing such a service is important and that BT's failings warranted some form of reprimand, the scale of the fine when set against the ICO's powers once again shows the madness of the current data protection regime.
The only hope is that when the new European Data Protection Regulation comes into force – which looks increasingly likely – the proposal for data watchdogs to be able to fine firms a portion of their annual turnover will make it to the statute books.
This should make the financial penalties for data protection breaches far more terrifying to big businesses, making data protection a more important consideration, and giving the ICO the chance to issue fines that will really make people sit up and take notice.
If a human being represents a kilobyte of data, and a London bus a megabyte, what would you use to represent a gigabyte? Or a terabyte? Or even a zettabyte?
Any ideas? Well the answers, in corresponding order, are: The London Eye, the BT Tower and the entire continent of Europe. Well done if you said any of those.
Now, taking this unscientific scale to its extreme conclusion, what object or thing could represent the Internet of Things, and the unfathomably vast amounts of data it will generate? Any ideas? The answer is the universe.
This is the theory of Kevin Ashton (pictured below on the far left), the man who invented the phrase 'The Internet of Things'. Ashton was speaking at an event at the BT Tower on Wednesday evening, attended by V3.
Ashton's Scale of Data lacks any clear consistency, but the point is clear. The IoT is going to be huge. It is going to be so far beyond anything we have known that our entire understanding and concept of 'data' will become useless.
And this is not something that is going to happen, but already is happening. Ashton started with the idea of the mobile phone. These are networked devices that can be used to plot locations, track movements and gain insights.
The Ebola outbreak that ravaged western Africa was controlled by plotting the movement of people through their mobile phones, and working out their connections with other people, to enable officials to plot and then contain the disease.
Another example of the IoT that's often cited is driverless cars. As vehicles are connected with all sorts of sensors it will enable them to drive themselves and transmit all this data for analysis. This idea is gaining momentum, and even the UK government has approved trials of driverless cars on UK roads.
Ashton pointed out that driverless cars already exist in commercial environments. The giant trucks used in bauxite mines in Western Australia, for example, now operate without drivers (pictured below).
"The self-driving car is already real," said Ashton. "Five to 10 years from now, every car will have self-driving capability, whether you want it or not. We're 15 years away from cars without steering wheels being available."
A final example Ashton cited was RFID, a technology he helped create, which is now used in supply chains across the world to track objects and generate data that can be used to make more informed decisions.
All of this was making the point that the IoT is already here and is only going to grow. This led Ashton to pose a final question.
"If you came here tonight thinking 'Is the IoT going to happen to me?', well it is going to happen to you whether you like it or not. Is it going to be an opportunity or a threat: that's your choice."
Politicians, eh? The incoming digital economy and society commissioner for the European Commission, Günther Oettinger, has not even set up his office with a plant and a picture and already he's in hot water for ill-considered comments.
During a meeting earlier this week he said that celebrities were "dumb" for putting nude pictures of themselves online.
"If someone is dumb enough as a celebrity to take a nude photo of themselves and put it online, they surely can't expect us to protect them," said Oettinger. "I mean, stupidity is something you can not - or only partly - save people from."
This statement, blaming the victims of a breach of their privacy and showing a slight misunderstanding of the cloud, has been rounded on by digital activists who see it as clear proof that Oettinger is not the right man to take on such an important digital post.
Pirate Party MEP Julia Reda has posted a blog criticising Oettinger, noting that it is somewhat worrying - as V3 would agree - that someone set to be in charge of European digital policy has either a misguided moral stance on the issue or a worrying lack of understanding of technology - or both.
"The person applying to be in charge of shoring up trust in the internet so that Europeans do more business online just victim-blamed people whose personal data was accessed and spread without authorisation," she wrote.
"By picking this example to make that point despite lacking an understanding of the facts, by making a mockery of what he should recognise as a serious problem and by doing it in this aloof and insulting tone, Oettinger is seriously calling into question whether he is qualified for the job of shaping our digital society for the next five years."
The BBC reported that a spokesperson for Oettinger said he was trying to make a point about cloud security, although he denied the chance to apologise for the remark.
"Everybody has a right to privacy. The EU Commission wants to make cloud computing safer." A noble aim, sir. But perhaps we may be so bold as to suggest that starting this mission by siding with the victims of a theft rather than blaming them tends to help.
One thing is for sure, Neelie Kroes would never have said any of this.
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has handed down a huge $7.4m fine to Verizon for failing to give new customers the ability to opt out of marketing calls from the company.
The FCC's scary-sounding Enforcement Bureau's found that Verizon failed to notify approximately two million new customers on their first invoices or in welcome letters, of their privacy rights. This included how to opt out from having their personal information used in marketing campaigns.
The fine is a huge amount for something so, ultimately, trivial as to be rung a few times by sales reps from the company, but it underlines the vast disparity between the US's stance on data privacy and the UK's.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which oversees issues of data protection and privacy in the UK, has come down hard on marketing firms in recent years, issuing fines of £45,000, £50,000 and £90,000 against companies that bombarded people with calls, despite being told to stop.
Comparing the two situations, the latter error seems the more egregious. While it may be annoying to not be told you have the right to opt out of marketing calls, to actively tell a company not to contact you and have them ignore that, seems so much worse.
Of course, it should be noted that the fines handed down by the ICO were against small to medium-sized companies, rather than a telecoms giant such as Verizon, and the FCC may have been making a point to other similarly sized companies of the seriousness of the situation.
Even so, though, a UK business giant could only face a fine of £500,000 from the ICO for any data or privacy error, so perhaps it's no wonder that, despite fines repeatedly being handed out by the watchdog, data breach incidents continue to happen.
Copyright law is a complicated beast, full of difficult clauses, mitigations and loopholes, all of which would make you think that many would avoid getting embroiled in the topic.
Yet one British photographer, so enraged by a 'selfie' taken on his camera by a dexterous macaque, felt the need to assert his claim to its copyright when the self-shot monkey picture appeared on Wikipedia (above).
Unfortunately for photographer David Slater, Wikipedia refused to pull the image denying that the copyright belonged to him or the snap-happy monkey. Cue the internet going ape over the story and attempting to out-do one another with simian-based puns.
Further adding to Slater's slew of bad luck, is a public draft of the third edition of the Compendium of US Copyright Office Practices, which declared that it will only grant copyright to works created directly by human beings.
This means the 'monkey selfie' effectively has no copyright and the internet has free reign over its use.
Forgetting that the world has much bigger problems to worry about, including global warming, war and economic despair, the US office went on to add that neither work created by plants, animals, or even ghosts – divine or otherwise.
"The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants. Likewise, the Office cannot register a work purportedly created by divine or supernatural beings, although the Office may register a work where the application or the deposit copy(ies) state that the work was inspired by a divine spirit," stated the public draft.
Debating copyright law over a single shot of a smiling simian may seem like a gargantuan waste of time for all involved.
But regularly revised definitions of copyright law is becoming more important, particularly given the growth of user-generated content being posted online and to social media networks. What the monkeys make of all this, though, remains to be seen.
It's a riddle that has taxed some of the greatest minds on the planet: if a monkey takes a selfie on a camera, who owns the copyright?
This is the bizarre question that is currently dominating the headlines, as photographer David Slater – who saw his kit monkey-handled by a mischievous macaque – is claiming that he owns the photo. But Wikipedia disagrees.
Wikipedia editors keep uploading the photo of the monkey to the site, claiming it is in the public domain. "This file is in the public domain, because as the work of a non-human animal, it has no human author in whom copyright is vested," the site said.
Slater disagrees, and said that the fact the monkey took the photo is irrelevant as he had to do all the hard work.
"If the monkey took it, it owns copyright, not me, that's their basic argument. What they don't realise is that it needs a court to decide that," he said, reported in The Telegraph.
"Some of their editors think it should be put back up. I've told them it's not public domain, they've got no right to say that its public domain. A monkey pressed the button, but I did all the setting up."
Reports say it could cost Slater £10,000 to take Wikipedia to court. V3 thinks he should perhaps seek a kangaroo court for the hearing.
Let's just hope the works of Shakespeare weren't actually written by 1,000 monkeys, as the legal case could prove somewhat complex.
The moment the European Court of Justice ruled that the people of Europe do have a right to be forgotten, the warning bells sounded. What on earth would such a woolly, hard-to-define ruling actually mean in the digital age?
It turns out, as many warned, it's effectively creating a strange, quasi-censorship system that is forcing Google to remove links to news articles that almost certainly deserve to be in the public domain.
Google protested hard against the ruling but ultimately it must comply with the law. So it has chosen to start removing articles from its indexes, and letting the firms involved know. So far the BBC and The Guardian have reported that pieces have been removed from Google, such as a column by Robert Peston commenting on bankers' woes during the 2007 financial crisis.
It is not clear who made the requests, or why, but Google has decided that it must remove them. It could have possibly deferred the decisions to a legal authority, but instead has chosen to become the judge and jury of the requests it receives.
In many ways this isn't Google's fault. With over 50,000 requests piling up, it probably felt compelled to start making some decisions. However, the precedent is worrying.
Like it or loathe it, Google's reach is huge, and removing a result from the index is a very good way of ensuring bad news is hidden away. While for some there may well be a legitimate reason to want a result removed, for most cases the motives could well be more questionable.
It's already been reported that some have asked for links regarding stories of tax dodgers, paedophiles and dodgy doctors to be removed from the Google search index. Again, the motives for this could come from an honest, understandable stance, but the outcome is worrying.
In effect, the European courts seem to have ended up creating a system of censorship, but rather than being the state that controls it, it is the people that have the right to try and hide themselves, with Google seemingly happy to process requests without question.
There are two points to consider though: firstly, the pressure this situation is creating for the EU could force it to amend its ruling. Secondly, with so many online outlets writing about the articles that are taken down, we could well see the Streisand effect come into play.
Perhaps Google is hoping for both outcomes, in order to show the EU courts how absurd the decision is proving.
Whenever a disruptive technology arrives on the scene those who are threatened usually respond with anger and derision.
From the Luddite machine breakers of the early 1800s to Steve Ballmer's cheery dismissal of the iPhone, such reactions are commonplace. The outcome, though, is usually the same, as the disruptive ground-breaking technology continues to thrive and the older system struggles.
So, with this short revisionist history lesson, let us turn our gaze to the streets of London where on Wednesday afternoon black cab drivers staged a protest against taxi app Uber, claiming it is unfairly muscling in on their patch.
The cabbies say that because Uber allows unlicensed, untrustworthy individuals to run their cars as private hire vehicles, they are not only putting the public at risk but breaking the law by using a meter to calculate journey costs.
Transport for London referred the situation to the High Court as it said it wasn't sure whether an app generating a fee for a journey did represent an infringement of this law, but the cabbies are protesting anyway.
This means that streets across the capital have been gridlocked, causing mayhem for millions.
You wait all day for a taxi, then 80 come along at once #uber pic.twitter.com/ipd6CXuuHd
— Jess Shankleman (@JessicaBG) June 11, 2014
The timing of the protest was seized on by Uber for a fairly nifty piece of marketing, as it announced that its service can now incorporate black cabs, so that those seeking the nearest vehicle could end up in a traditional Hackney Carriage.
Whether black cabs want to be included on the service remains to be seen, as judging by today's protests they may well choose to have nothing to do with it in the future. Those who willingly reject the offer could well end up regretting it, though, if history does indeed repeat itself.
With some reports that downloads of the app have increased 850 percent as a result of the protest, the taxi brigade could have inadvertently started their own demise. Time will tell.

Should I tell relatives we didn't get what we need at our shower?
Recently my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw a baby shower for me. My husband and I created a baby registry, but not one person used it. Instead of getting baby gear, we got a lot of clothes that we didn't need. Since then several family members have asked if we got everything we needed at the shower. Should I tell them the truth?

I think you should be honest, but nice about it. Most people have no problem giving you a reciept or telling you where they got it and most stores will take things back no problem, even if just for store credit. Usually if someone is asking if you got what you need, they really want to know. I set up a registry for my baby and so far everyone is happy to use it. My suggestion is to make sure people know you set one up and to make sure it is at reasonable stores. When I set mine up at Target they gave me a booklet that had little pop outs to put in each baby shower invitation telling people where to look for one. Also dont be afraid to put bigger items on your registry, someone may realize they have a used crib or something in thier garage they may not have thought about without seeing you need one.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Most people wouldn't ask if they didn't want to know. I would say something like "We got a lot of great gifts at the baby shower, but there's a few necessities we still need." That way you don't sound ungrateful, but you're being honest. They can either leave it at that, or ask what it is specifically you want. Perhaps they're trying to get some ideas for gifts for the holidays or even after the baby is here.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
No, I don't think you should tell your relatives.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
If close relatives ask, then tell them the truth. As for the other items, since they are brand new, I would suggest selling them on craigslist.com or eBay and use the proceeds to get yourself what you need.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I feel that since the family member or friend took it upon themselves to throw the mother & father-to-be a shower, it would be silly and a waste of time to ignore the needs of the person that they are attempting to help! Why take the time to throw the shower and have the parents- to-be to start the registry if you're going to ignore it?And it is ridiculous to assume that the parents-to-be are being selfish for asking for what is needed instead of just accepting gifts that are going to go to waste!!! The baby will probably not wear half of those clothes because they grow so fast so why not get something that is much needed like a car seat or even diapers?posted 12/05/2005 by hubbls
"It wasn't their choice for you to have the baby..." What a ridiculous thing to say. They didn't choose for you to have the baby but they did choose to attend the shower so the least they can do is buy something the baby needs and to be honest 15 newborn outfits is not it. If relative is asking then they really care whether you have everything you need or not. Despite what some people are saying about all this crap about, "Be thank you got gifts..." baby's do not need a lot of clothes in their first weeks of life. While I personally think expecting someone to buy you a crib for your shower gift is too much (but if you need it more power too you) it not unreasonable to ask your bottles, blankets, baby food, diapers and such.posted 12/05/2005 by sweet2773
Be thankful. A baby shower is a gift not a time for a declaration of what you want. If this is your first child you may find that you didn't "need" alot of the things you asked for and may actually end up using the gifts you were given. A gift registry is nice but confusing especially for the older generation and often the stores don't carry the items consistently. Be kind to your guests before you make any decision to ditch their lovingly selected gifts.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Tell them or just return the clothes and get what you really. I just had two baby showers and receieved items that I really didn't need so I just returned them to the different stores and got the things that I really needed.posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
NORMAL! It happened to me during this pregnancy and the last one! They will go away a few months after the baby comes...dont worry!posted 12/05/2005 by Emma's Mommy
I didn't get a shower, but since she is due so close to Christmas, people are asking if we have everything we need. Honestly we took it upon ourselves to buy most everything, but I do tell them that there are a few things we need yet like a diaper genie, bottle warmer, etc. I just drop hints that we don't have much for educational toys and books. I agree that a gift is a gift. I don't expect anything at all, and any little thing is appreciated greatly!posted 12/05/2005 by jenhanke

IN HIS WORK OF 1844, Marx asserts that, under capitalism, agents' conceptions of how to realize their nature (their conceptions of what I have called "the human self-realization activity") are distorted. He also believes that agents' conceptions of how they are related to the world (their conceptions of what, in the last chapter, I termed their "fundamental relation to the world") are also distorted. And Marx provides alternative conceptions of these things. Yet Marx seems, on his own premises, to have no adequate justification, under capitalism, for the assertions or the alternatives. I have read the Theses on Feuerbach as claiming that revolutionary practice can make the missing justification accessible, but I have argued that this tack, too, has its problems. In the final three chapters I trace these issues and their descendants in The German Ideology.
In this chapter I deal with Marx's attack on Feuerbach and Bauer and, indeed, on the Young Hegelians generally, with the new method he thinks he has settled on, and with his belief that he has rid himself of philosophy. In the next chapter I look at the conception of the good life in The German Ideology, and at the change that text makes from Marx's earlier work. In Chapter 10 I examine The German Ideology's critique of morality.
The German Ideology brings to a close the line of development I have been tracing. With it Marx thinks that he has made a change, that, as a matter of method, he has abandoned the goal of shifting one's standpoint. He turns to a new method that he believes obviates the need for such shifts. This does not, however, solve the problem of how to justify a normative critique of capitalism. Still, in The German Ideology there is a change in that problem's structure. Marx now focuses less on the issue of the agent's relation/orientation to the world and no longer highlights

I have been gifted a number of leftover plants from a lovely local business and I didn't ask what this particular one is. Can anyone id it for me? I'll have to re-pot it quickly as it's very weak where the stalk meets the roots so I'm not entirely sure it's going to survive well whatever it is. When you crush a leaf it has a smell but I'm not able to describe it. May just be a leaf smell. The weight of the foliage is causing the stem a bit of stress so I'll need to pot it deeper up the stem. The stem itself has a similar frailty to a begonia stem and not a robust shrub like stem at the moment. Maybe it will change?
Also, this morning found this bug which I found on a web search to be a Green Shield Bug. I'm assuming it's the most common Green Shield Bug and not the one described as recently coming over from other European countries. I found the cheeky thing on one of two buds which luckily have appeared on a transplanted peony which I was really pleased actually took off and produced two buds this year. (Blimey they take weeks to swell and open - still waiting). This bug was not for moving and it took several finger flicks to ping it away. It does seem to have broken through the bud and made a huge hole in a leaf directly below it. It's an interesting looking bug but I'm assuming it's one of the bad guys?
(I haven't figured out how to put text underneath a photo instead of the text appearing underneath both pictures).
Thanks for any comments.
Looks like one of the Choysia's. As for sheild bugs they aren't significant pests for most gardeners.
That one might be a hawthorn shield bug
We love shield bugs Great excitement in the garden when one of us finds one
I wouldn't plant the Choisya too deep - it might make the problem worse rather than better - I'd find a way to support the plant instead.
Thanks Dave. I wondered if it was a very very young Sundance. The stem is very frail and juicy so I'll have to be careful re-potting as it looks as if the top heavy foliage is in danger of snapping and come away from the roots.
Thanks for comment on the bug nutcutlet. It's stunningly bright and was absolutely still for a very long time. I'd never seen one before but I was desperate to get it away from my only chance of having a couple of peony flowers this year. Then again, it might be best for the peony if I'd chopped the buds off this year and let it not flower until next year.
If it's a Green Shield bug can you buy it with Green Shield Stamps?
Har har Steve, I remember them!
I agree the shrub looks like a Choisya: the bug looks like a capsid bug - unlikely to do any great harm in the garden, they are sap suckers not predators and if you squash them you will have a nasty niff on your hands - literally!
This is the bud today with the sticky stuff all over it and now on the leaves.
So here I am with my peony again a year on from these posts last year and I'm wondering if the buds are actually going to open this year. Last year they didn't. They swelled - and didn't open - and there was the business with the bug around all the time.
This year, I have more buds - the excitement last year was that the peony had survived being moved as a couple of root cuttings from a neighbour digging up the peony and throwing it out. It's back to early June again, I have 7 buds this year but they are still tight and not opening. The very stem which the bug played with for days last year had the first bud to appear - and now the bud is secreting a sticky stuff covering the entire bud and one of the leaves below the bud.
This is peony paranoia as the buds didn't reach flowering stage last year. If I remember I think it rained for weeks and there was no sunshine - but I can't remember. I'm worried that the buds are going to stay tight closed again or if I ought to just wait - or if the sticky stuff comes from the peony itself or a bug has chosen it to covet for itself and it's the bug producing the sticky stuff.
I need someone to go 'LOL this is normal, this is what peony buds do'! But maybe they don't. All the neighbourhood peonies have been blooming for weeks but I thought as mine is just a root uplifted year before last, that it may not successfully get to blooming until it's matured? But would be great to know if it looks as if I have bug problems which stop the buds flowering. I was wondering whether to gently wipe off the goo with a damp cloth and soapy water.
Any advice anyone?
mine only opened two days ago, i only have one which is the one it had when i bought it 6 wks ago and it has been moved twice.
Thanks sanjy67. I feel like I've been waiting for ever on these buds to actually flower. I'm sure they can sense my impatience!
I have noticed that my peony buds seem to produce a slightly sticky substance and that ants are attracted to it. This happened last year but it didn't affect the flowering at all. I was worried at the time but perhaps it is normal. Good luck with yours.
Update to show they finally flowered. I think they would have flowered in their own time but I may have managed to hasten them along - or not! Not sure. I read a florists website where she described forcing open peony buds for display. She described the sticky sap which the buds produce and said she sprayed the buds with warm water to loosen the tight outer petals. She was talking about cut flowers so I thought I might as well try it outdoors. I sprayed them three mornings in a row. Even while I was spraying they outer petals loosened away. And hey presto, they all began to burst open. But there's no certainty that that they might have opened just because they were ready to. I don't know. And they were beautiful - before a thunderstorm a few days later. I was delighted to see how beautiful they are - although I have no idea which peony they are.
Green shield stamps - would need a lot of them now to get buried

A man loses his wife's beloved dog.
Academy Award–nominated writer-director Lawrence Kasdan's last two directorial efforts — 2003's Dreamcatcher and 1999's Mumford — weren't critical disasters, but didn't exactly set the box office on fire, either. Still, after writing the scripts for Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back, and writing and directing movies like The Big Chill, Silverado and Grand Canyon, we're always interested in what Kasdan is working on.
His latest movie, Darling Companion, stars Diane Keaton as a woman who finds a dog that she eventually loves more than her husband (Kevin Kline). When her husband loses the dog, she enlists a search party to help find it, including a psychic (Ayelet Zurer). Set for an April release, Yahoo! has released the first trailer for the movie.

Overall Rating
GoEmerchant (goemerchant.com) is a small merchant account provider based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with a founding year of 1995. The company got its start by developing e-commerce solutions and then expanded into various other electronic payment solutions. Despite its long time in business, GoEmerchant reports that it manages only about 20,000 merchant accounts. The company's small size should not be considered as a strike against it because it seems to have served it well in keeping its merchant customers satisfied over the years.
There is some evidence indicating that GoEmerchant is a subsidiary of First American Payment Systems, a company with a very high number of complaints filed against it. Although GoEmerchant does not appear to be showing anywhere close to the number of negative reviews received by its parent company, merchants should be aware of this relationship. Gary Dvorkin is listed as the CEO of GoEmerchant, which is a registered ISO/MSP of Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio.
|GoEmerchant Products and Services
|Industries Served
Sales & Marketing | B
|Key Points – Sales & Marketing
|Uses independent resellers?
|Promotes deceptive rate quotes?
|Discloses all important terms?
GoEmerchant advertises misleading rates on several of its online application pages, quoting an "Internet Rate" and "Retail Rate" "as low as 0.89%" per transaction. These quotes are misleading because they do not include the Mid-Qualified and Non-Qualified surcharges that a high percentage of transactions experience, or the fact that such a rate would only be experienced with a minuscule percentage of a merchant's transactions. The company also hires independent resellers, which would normally be a strike against it, but GoEmerchant's compensation program does not appear to encourage price gouging like many others do in this industry. GoEmerchant is currently showing a handful of negative reviews online regarding its sales tactics, specifically concerning nondisclosure of monthly fees. Overall, the company appears to be neither exceptionally transparent nor exceptionally deceptive. GoEmerchant could improve its rating in this section by removing the misleading rate quotes from its website.

|Key Points – Costs & Contract Terms
|Swiped rate:
|Keyed-in rate:
|Termination fee:
|$495 or none
|PCI compliance fee:
|Equipment lease:
GoEmerchant appears to use First American Payment Systems (FAPS) as its processor, and FAPS's standard agreement has a three-year service agreement with a $495 early cancellation penalty; however, GoEmerchant appears to have the freedom to waive these requirements for its merchants. Therefore, merchants who apply to GoEmerchant may have month-to-month agreements with no cancellation fee. If you choose to sign up with GoEmerchant, be sure to read your merchant account agreement to make sure this applies to you. GoEmerchant's other pricing and fees will vary depending on the services the merchant requires. As of this review, it is unclear if GoEmerchant charges a PCI Compliance fee. If you have any information regarding this, please leave it in the comment section below.
Complaints & Service | A
|Key Points – Complaints & Service
|Total complaints:
|Live customer support:
|Most common complaint:
We have found approximately five GoEmerchant negative reviews online, and none of these complaints specifically accuse the company of being a scam. Common complaints include hidden fees, difficulty cancelling service, and withholding of funds. This is a low complaint total for a company of GoEmerchant's size and time in business, but it is possible that additional GoEmerchant complaints may have been mistakenly filed against FAPS instead of GoEmerchant. There is no solid evidence at this time that this is occurring, so we will assign the company an "A" rating in this category. GoEmerchant offers a phone number for customer support on its website.
BBB Report | A*
|Key Points – BBB Report
GoEmerchant has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2001. As of this review, the BBB is reporting an "A+" rating with only one complaint filed in the last 36 months. This complaint was related to a billing or collection dispute and either was resolved to the dissatisfaction of the merchant or did not receive a final response from the merchant. We believe "A+" ratings should be reserved for companies with zero public complaints and have accordingly adjusted GoEmerchant's rating in this section to an "A" for the purposes of this review.

GoEmerchant Review
Rated out of 5 Stars
Reviewed by Phillip Parker
Reviewed on 2016-01-08
Even though GoEmerchant is small provider, the company seems to be a solid performer with a long track record of few public complaints. Since GoEmerchant uses FAPS as its processor, merchants would be wise to fully read and understand the company's merchant account agreement before signing it. It should also be noted that "GoEmerchant.com" could be confused with "Gotmerchant.com," a different company, in search results.

Princeton couple blames Halliburton for injuries
Kyla Asbury Aug. 28, 2012, 7:29am
CHARLESTON -- A Princeton couple is suing Halliburton Energy Services for injuries sustained while performing work duties.
An unknown person, called John Doe, also was named as a defendant in the suit.
On Oct. 5, 2011, Rickie Lee Durham, was dispatched by ACME Truck Lines to the Halliburton facility in Carmichaels, Pa., to pick up a load of goods and equipment for delivery, including 18-foot and 8-inch diameter steel pipes referred to as stabilizers, according to a complaint filed Aug. 13 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Durham claims Doe operated a forklift while attempting to load the stabilizers onto his tractor trailer and raised the load of stabilizers too high to be safely loaded onto the tractor trailer.
Doe attempted to place toe forklift into reverse to readjust and reattempt the loading of the stabilizers when he lost control of the load of stabilizers on the forklift and the stabilizers fell from the forklift, according to the suit.
Durham claims when Doe lost control of the stabilizers, one of them fell and crushed his foot.
Doe was negligent in the operation of the forklift and in raising an unsecured load of heavy material too high; operating a heavily loaded forklift too quickly for the circumstances; putting a heavily loaded forklift into reverse too quickly; failing to properly monitor a heavy forklift load; failing to warn surrounding individuals that he would be changing direction while holding a heavy, unsecured load; failing to use due care in the operation of the forklift; and other acts and omissions.
Durham claims Halliburton is liable for the acts of its agents, employees and/or servants.
Halliburton was negligent in failing to train individuals to operate forklifts; failing to train individuals in the proper loading of tractor trailers; permitting an unqualified individual to operate a forklift to load a tractor trailer; requiring Durham to load his tractor trailer in an uneven and unstable gravel loading area; rushing the loading of the tractor trailer; failing to monitor the actions of its employees in the loading and securing of loads to tractor trailers; and failing to provide proper equipment to permit the safe loading of tractor trailers, according to the suit.
Durham and his wife, Priscilla Durham, are seeking compensatory and punitive damages with pre- and post-judgment interest. They are being represented by Christopher J. Regan and Jeremy M. McGraw.
The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Charles E. King.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 12-C-1604

As someone who is rather tall, the length of these are great, but the waist is a slight problem. The waist is rather big in my opinion, and although the pull cords keep the waist slighter tighter, they tend to be very baggy on me. ... read more
While the shoe is overall comfortable, I was disappointed in the colour. I had hope these shoes were the peachy colour you see online, but it is a very neon coral. Debating if I want to exchange them or not.. ... read more
Wanted some slim fitting joggers for a while, and these fitted the bill. Size guide is spot on. Fut is narrow leg (think a skinny jeans type) with a fitted top half. Comfortable, and stylish (I dislike baggy joggers, especially round the ankle). Not washed them yet, but quality looks good. ... read more
I purchased theMEN ORIGINALS CLIMACOOL 1 SHOES sneakers in Red. Nice product but not suitable for me,the cushioning of the sole seems to bigger/higher compare to the original in 2000's.Returning the product. So i can't really comment . True to size,even with wide feef ... read more
Perfect jacket for all purposes. It's super comfortable and looks awesome. The collar isn't too high either, so you can easily zip it up all the way and not have it bugging your chin. It's very light weight and has cooling ventilation in high wear areas so do not purchase if you are looking for warmth. It is a light weight cooling warm up jacket. I wear it to the gym and to the field and even out on the town because it looks great. Like I said, it's my new favorite jacket. It does run a tad bit big but not big enough to order a size up - it's a little loose not tight fitting. ... read more
The adidas Climacool has to be by far one of the most comfortable sneakers to release spring. From the texture of the fabric inside of the shoe. I personally wear the shoe in a more casual sense, however the shoe could be a perfect running or exercise shoe as well. I wear the Climacool frequently and receive lots of positive reactions from others around that I go. I look forward to the future of shoe and different concepts that are put forth to the public. ... read more
These pants are great looking. Material seems a little thinner then all my tiro 14 training pants. Don't know if I like or dislike that yet. When it's a bit colder out I probably won't be looking to wear these haha. ... read more
This is my favorite pair of pants. They work in any color. They are always comfortable and I never get hot in them. Great to relax in. I can do anything in them. Only complaint is the pants get caught on poky things sometimes and the thread sorta comes out a little and that's annoying. It can get holes pretty easily. If you are doing an athletic activity and happen to fall, you will definitely ruin the pants. I fell and barely slid, but a massive hole was torn in the pants. I will be purchasing another pair. ... read more
I think these pants are great. I'd buy a dozen if the sizing was just a bit better. I have these in L and XL. The L is quite small for a relatively tall guy like me (190 cm). They're somewhat short and tight around the thighs and calves. The XL is great in terms of length and overall fit, but the waist is made for a man twice my size. Everything is quite a bit looser than the L while still retaining a slim, tapered cut, but the waist is like it just got out of hand and exploded sometime between the L to the XL,. and is way too big. That being said, I do use both of the sizes (for slightly different purposes). Your mileage may vary, of course, but if you find a size that fits you, it's a terrific buy. ... read more
Comfy trainers. I'm 26 now & had these when they were out years ago back in high school. Was happy when they come back out, they're a great style & one of my best pairs of trainers. Got 6 pairs in defferent colours & still adding to them when I can :D As you can see in the picture (if it uploads) I've got a few ZX Flux on the go as well ;) ... read more
I actually bought these for cycling rather than for football and they are perfect. They are a tight leg fit but not restrictive. I'm around 6' tall and I bought medium which fit perfectly in terms of waist and leg length. Quality is good and they have kept my legs warm even on the coldest spring early mornings. ... read more
I LOVE these shoes. So a lot of the reviews said they got a half size too big, which I'm sure is true, because I usually wear a 91/2 ended up getting a 9 and they're perfect. So in credibly comfortable to walk around in, and I run in them quite a bit. The back tab and bottom of shoe is accented with baby pink but there's nothing to complain about, I personally like if, but if you aren't a fan, you can't really tell unless you're up close and personal. Overall great show, thinking about buying again for my sister. ... read more
These shoes are so light and comfy. They give great support. I just might buy them in every color. The color in person is more on the blue side of teal than a baby blue as it appears online. If you don't like the clima cool mesh style then you probably wont like these shoes. ... read more
I wanted a contemporary pant made with a technical material for my workouts. Generally, other track pants I've tried on are too heavy, are improperly sized and/or look lame. These fit perfectly (check your measurements), made of a really nice lightweight synthetic material and have all the right style points. Will be buying the other colours for sure. ... read more
I am usually a size 7, but had to downsize to a 6.5. They do run 1/2 size too big even with socks on. Correct, you can see thru into your toes but it's only because of the climacool fabric. Otherwise, I'm all about the comfort and these are very light and comfortable. I'm definitely keeping them! ... read more
The shorts look really cool, and felt okay all during my 22-mile long run, but later that day, my wife was horrified to find the pattern of holes in the liner emblazoned on a certain part of my anatomy afterwards. This took the better part of a week to clear up, during which time there was no joy for Mighty Casey. Suffice to say, I'll be using these for shorter runs in the future. ... read more
I just bought this pant for my 15 year old son who is 5 foot 9 and 130 lbs. The pant was a bit short, epecially when in a sitting position because we're made longer from the hip to the knee than a lot of people. It was also a bit loose fitting. We're going to try a medium but fear that it will only be baggier, even if the length is right on. Does 5 foot 9 and 130 lbs not fall into the small men's category? I realize that that size might be difficult to size properly because he's kind of between a medium man for height and an XL kid size for weight at this stage. ... read more
