The Landseer is the black and white color version of the Newfoundland. A British painter, Sir Edwin Landseer, favored the black and white Newfoundland so much that the color variation was named after him. One group, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, does recognize the Landseer as a separate breed, officially called the Landseer European Continental Type (E.C.T.).
Landseer Newfoundlands originated as fishermen's working dogs on the island of Newfoundland, just off the northeast coast of Canada. Their prodigious strength and aquatic aptitude made them ideal for helping to bring in fishing nets, haul carts and even rescue over-board fishermen! As a matter of fact, the breed is renowned as water rescue dogs. Their webbed feet, large lung capacity and phenomenal swimming power make them ideally suited for the job. They also have a water-resistant double coat that helps insulate them when swimming in chilly waters.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

A client has 2 separate WP installs, one is for a dev site, one is for production.
On the dev site everything works perfectly. After installing on the production site, I don't get all of the admin options - the plugin appears to be "incomplete".
The only options I can see from the admin are Settings and Help.
I'm not sure if it's a server issue - the production site is on a load balancer and has other caching features. They both have the same setup and plugins, so I don't think it's a plugin clash.
Has anyone ever encountered a problem similar to this? If so, any suggestions on fixing?

Mexico City, Mar 5 (EFE).- Former teachers union boss Elba Esther Gordillo will go to trial on embezzlement and racketeering charges, judicial officials said.
Judge Alejandro Caballero accepted a motion from federal prosecutors to try Gordillo, who allegedly embezzled $157 million in union funds.
Caballero refused to accept defense attorneys' arguments that the documents provided by the Finance Secretariat to support the charges against Gordillo were invalid because they were not certified by the financial institutions that executed transactions for the disgraced union chief.
The 68-year-old Gordillo was the president of the SNTE teachers union, the largest union in Latin America, and was considered the most powerful woman in Mexico.
Gordillo was arrested on Feb. 26 along with three close associates for allegedly using union funds to pay personal expenses.
The suspects have been denied bail because of the seriousness of the charges against them.
Gordillo, once described by scholar M. Delal Baer as "Jimmy Hoffa in a dress," used union funds to pay credit card bills, make purchases at luxury stores, have cosmetic surgery, purchase real estate and cover other spending, prosecutors allege.
The former union boss was expelled from the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, in 2006 for helping create the New Alliance Party, or PANAL, which tried unsuccessfully to form a coalition with Enrique Peña Nieto, who won last year's presidential election.
Gordillo, who reportedly suffers from high blood pressure, chronic hepatitis C and kidney problems, among other ailments, was moved late last week to a prison with better medical facilities.
The SNTE's No. 2 official, Juan Diaz de la Torre, was named as the new head of the 1.2-million-member-strong union last Thursday.

The good news is I am officially racing age 60. When I registered, I got to write it down on the waiver and it felt great.
In preparation for the Berkeley Team Time Trial next Saturday, I participated in a practice individual time trial organized by one of my racing club members with the proceeds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We had over 100 riders raising more than $2,500. In the individual aero time trial men's category (all ages), I placed 40 out of 48 with a 27:44 (my best time). The winning time was 23:10. The fastest 2 man team was 22:02. Overall taking into account men, women, teams and the Merckx category, I was 65 out of 103 or the top 2/3 of the entire field. There were two men who came in ahead of me at 27:43 – seconds count.
In addition to the men, we had ITT women, juniors and teams. We also include a Merckx (non-aero men and women) category so that riders can compete on their road bikes. BTW, we allow all forms of technology including recumbents and tandems.
I have been training on my TT bike at our cycling gym but this was the first full out effort this year on my TT bike. My training has focused on power building / hill climbing and now we are working on speed as well as the track. It was interesting to see what effect, if any, the track workouts would have on my road racing. At the track, I have been practicing standing starts plus doing a lot more sprinting and shorter intense efforts. I think the track work really helped my start and turnaround.
Since Velodiva had a medical procedure, she did not race but helped out. However, after the TT, Velodiva and I went on a 40 mile ride.
Next week is Berkeley team time trial which Velodiva and I will race on our tandem. The week after that is the Madera Stage race consisting of a crit followed by an ITT on Saturday and a 50 mile road race on Sunday. We are both entering.
Here are some pics.
The 9.7 mile course elevation profile. It is an out an back course with a cone turnaround.
Sign up table.
Warming up. I started my warmup (not pictured below) about 45 minutes before my starting time of 7:45 AM.
Staring line. For this race our starter was Christine Thorburn who raced on the 2008 USA Olympic road team in Beijing. Her specialty is the time trial where she placed 5th in Beijing.
This is me right after the start. I thought I got a very good start. The temperature at the start was approximately 48 degrees overcast skies with very little wind.
The finishing climb.
This is one of my 55+ team mates finishing who did a 25 and change time.
Here I am at the finish line.

They cultivate sweet pea, a product very sought after by the local manufacturers, who turn it into juice and export it.
With the goal of making their agricultural activities profitable, two years ago the group member decided to join the Soro Yiriwaso loan program.
Fatoumata plans to use her loan to purchase one bag of urea [fertilizers], two bags of complex cereals, and to sue the rest to cover costs of manual labor and weeding. The agricultural inputs will be bought at the big market of Sikasso. After the winter season, the harvested produce is stored until its value increases and it is then sol at the same market retail (often wholesale) to a diverse clientele.
Fatoumata plans to achieve a monthly income between 35,000 and 45,000 West African francs, which will be used to repay interest on her loan and cover everyday family expenses.
Elles exercent la culture du pois sucré, un produit très convoité actuellement par des industriels de la région qui font sa transformation en jus et son exportation.
Dans le souci de rentabiliser leurs activité agricoles, les membres du groupe ont donc décidé d'intégrer le programme crédit de Soro Yiriwaso il y'a maintenant deux ans.
FATOUMATA compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 1 sac d'urée, 2 sacs de complexe et le reste comme frais de labour et de sarclage Ces intrants seront achetés au grand marché de Sikasso. Après l'hivernage, les récoltes sont stockées pendant un certain temps pour qu'elles aient de la valeur avant d'être vendues au grand marché de la même ville en détail (souvent en gros) à divers client.
Elle envisage réaliser un bénéfice moyen de 35.000 à 45 000 FCFA qui sera utilisé pour le remboursement des intérêts du prêt et les dépenses courantes de la famille.

Inspired by a skirt I saw on pinterest!
I pass my skills and luck onto you! ~~ *magical dust* ~~
xD You're already pretty awesome Siphine ^^
tho if you want to improve relatively "quickly"....
ok Well, in December I had tried to do a 30-day Challenge. It was an anime challenge but instead I made it a requirement to draw all my answers. Now I did stop at around 16 ... >.< but i believe doing that every day greatly helped me in the Long run. Like the pictures itself werent too great I think, but it did expose me to different art styles for animes and like, your fingers start to develop a memory of the lines you draw a lot.
You want to expose yourself to different artists too. like Instagram is great for this, and understand what you like and dont like with art and drawing. Eventually your hands do remember. As odd as that sounds lol.
heheheh - woahsza! she's totally beautiful! and the line art around it , being bold like that, makes this super professional looking. i really enjoy how you shaded in her tights as well, nice touch!
Oh thank you!! Your comment really made me smile!
I'm actually surprised by this one alot. Like, I wasn't really thinking about anything when I was drawing it... the lines just happened so I'm just beyond thrilled that it came out so cool looking! I definitely hope I can create the same sort of atmosphere in more work
this is awesome, i love your art style

Garcia struggles as Cardinals lose to Astros 9-8
HOUSTON Jaime Garcia wasn't ready to pitch Tuesday night. It didn't take long for the St. Louis Cardinals to figure that out.
Garcia was rocked for six runs in two innings in his shortest outing of the season, and the Cardinals found themselves in a hole too deep to escape in a 9-8 loss to the Houston Astros.
Fresh off extra rest after battling soreness in his left elbow, Garcia looked uncomfortable through a pair of innings that proved tumultuous enough to seal the loss and drop him to 0-5 in seven career starts against Houston.
"He's not right," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We had given him some thorough examinations, and we were confident that he would be ready to go, but he obviously wasn't."
Garcia (3-4), who last pitched May 26 in a 4-0 loss to Philadelphia, said he didn't have pain in his elbow but struggled to pinpoint the root of the problem.
"I wish I knew what was wrong. I would have fixed it a while ago," said Garcia, whose career ERA against the Astros ballooned to 8.10. "I'm definitely not in a position where I can go out there and help the team win."
By the time Maikel Cleto relieved him to start the third the Cardinals trailed 6-1 and seemed well on the way to their sixth loss in seven games.
St. Louis managed to make it a game in the top of the ninth.
Adron Chambers hit a clutch two-run triple off Astros right-hander David Carpenter to get the Cardinals within 9-6.
"They jumped out on us today, and we had to fight," Chambers said. "It's just another test for us. We have to come back tomorrow and get them."
Rafael Furcal took closer Brett Myers deep for a one-out, two-run homer after the hit by Chambers to get St. Louis within a run.
Myers then retired Carlos Beltran and later Allen Craig with the tying run at first for his 14th save in 15 chances.
"I love how these guys go about it and they just don't quit," Matheny said of his team. "We keep running out of time, and put (ourselves) in too big a hole. these guys don't die. They don't die in the dugout and they don't quit on the field, and it's all going to pay off. It's just a matter of time."
This one got out of hand quickly for Garcia, whose outing included allowing a leadoff double, back-to-back walks and four runs, one of them on a wild pitch.
And that was just the first inning.
Astros outfielder Justin Maxwell took Garcia deep for a two-run homer in the second inning, and by then the Astros led 6-1.
"I'm struggling right now, and it's tough for me," said Garcia, whose six runs came on five hits. "But at the same time I have to keep moving forward."
Matt Adams blasted a three-run homer off Astros right-hander Lucas Harrell to get the Cardinals within two runs in the third inning.
But other than that, St. Louis enjoyed limited success against Harrell (5-4), who allowed four runs - three earned - on eight hits over six innings for his third win in his last four starts.
St. Louis jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the first after Furcal reached second on a fielding error by Astros second baseman Jose Altuve and scored on a groundout by Matt Holliday.
Altuve more than made up for his gaffe, going 4 for 5 with a pair of doubles and three runs scored for the Astros, who scored three more runs off Cardinals relievers to cap the scoring.

To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Well, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room without a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines and dancin' on the floor
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies, made a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you

text: The Jei wiki last edited by JoeComfort on 05/17/16 04:45PM View full history Jei is a demon warrior from Hell. He first appears to roam the land killing anyone in his path. He justifies this by saying he was sent on a mission by the Gods to cleanse the land of evil. Jei travels with a young girl named Keiko, whom he saves from a band of ronin. It should be noted that Jei refers to the child as his "innocent" and Keiko refers to him as "uncle".Jei wields a spear that can tear one's very soul from their body. Jei's calling card is the utter look of terror he leaves upon his slain victims, out of those he has faced in combat only one has survived: the long eared Ronin Usagi. Jei has faced Usagi several times, yet his most climatic battle between the long eared Ronin was in the Grasscutter story arc. Usagi finds the long lost heavenly blade Grasscutter, which pits him in the middle of a conspiracy to overthrow the shogun. While Usagi travels to find answers, the sacred blade acts like a beacon. the heavenly blade "calls" to the demon spearman in which he heeds, thus leading him to Usagi.As the battle begins Usagi's friend Gen tries to get the jump on Jei, however Jei quickly takes Gen out of the battle with a wound to the arm. Jei and Usagi face off, however Jei overpowers Usagi. When Jei is about to strike the finishing blow, Usagi picks up the sacred blade and runs it through Jei's chest. In utter anguish Jei lets out an unearthly cry as all the souls of his victims burst out of his body, causing him to disintegrate. when it would seem as if Jei has left the earthly plane, Inazuma is later shown to be possessed by Jei's spirit, where she is soon joined by Keiko who refers to her as "auntie".PowersJei is a brutal killer who prefers to wield a Yari spear. In a flashback where he first met Keiko, it was shown that he was able to defeat a group of well armed ronin without any wepons at all. Jei then picks up a spear from one of the slain ronin an enchants it to have the ability to rip souls from peoples bodies.Jei has shown the ability of possession as he demonstrates at the end of the Grasscutter story arc, as he uses Inazuma as a vessel for his return. Jei has also demonstrated on several occasions to come back from the dead.On the first occasion it seems he reappears with the same body, while the second time he posseses Inazuma. It has not been revealed as of yet whether Jei is a spirit from Hell that uses the living as a vessel, or if he once had a body of his own before his first apparent death.

We can sit here and talk about all the technology, testing, and research that went into creating the Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Road wheel, or we can just go ahead and skip right to the end result. This is one crazy aero and ridiculously fast wheel. With the signature Firecrest golf ball-like dimpling and a wide rim, this wheel cuts through the air and gives a comfy ride to boot. To cap it all off, Zipp adds an aluminum layer over the carbon at the braking surface so you get all the consistent braking power of aluminum rims with all the performance of an aero carbon wheel to speed down whatever racing or training roads you choose.
- Carbon fiber rim with Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control
- Aluminum braking surface
- 45mm rim depth
- Stainless steel spokes
- Sold as individual wheels
- Compatible with Zipp-approved brake pads
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Stiff and FAST
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been on the full lineup top to bottom from Zipp, as well as my fair share of wheelsets from other brands. Without a doubt the 303 Tubular is the best all around wheelset for stiffness and speed in any condition.
If you can, find a local dealer or riding buddy to let you give these a test drive. It's a challenge to accurately depict just how incredibly strong and stiff the 303 is; a seriously robust build while keeping lightweight and agile.
45 mm deep profile is plenty aerodynamic, without turning you into a sail boat in the cross winds. You can feel the benefits at your typical slower climbing speeds in the 8-15mph range, but that sweet spot is in the 20-30pmh range or going full bore on descents. With the width profile on these bad boys, I'd challenge you to find a more stable wheel at 50+ mph harrowing speeds on descents.
Every bit of energy you put into these reflects in immediate results on the road. No, it actually feels more intuitive than that. There is no response time, they just go. The entire system runs at absolutely maximum efficiency in all conditions. Stiff rims, strong spokes, fluid and reliable hub, all coming together in a lightweight 1310 g package. It's a wheelset you can rely on to take a corner at speed, maintain stability through the chaos of a group sprint, or hold tempo through a punishing headwind with less effort than you've ever had to use before. There's a reason they're used at Paris-Roubaix.
Overall, I don't think you can find a stronger or better all around wheelset than the 303. The real questions is not should I ride the 303, it's Clincher or Tubular? For me, I like the intimate road feel and weight savings of the Tubular, but I certainly understand the demand for the clincher as well.
Have any questions, want to talk some more details? Please feel free to shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fun fact: I have a pair of 2002 Zipp 303 Tubular's I still race crits on to this day. Durability is impressive
You have the newest 2014 303 with 188/V9 hubs?
What is the real weight of these ?
Zipp.com claim 1335g - is it real? together with skewers?
Hi there.
Yep, they are the newest 2014 version 303 with the 188/V9 hubs. Without tires, but with skewers they came in at 1,335 grams.
what do skewers have to do with wheel weight.
Zipp 303
By Zipp Speed
Does anyone know if there's still any issues with these wheels and the Specialized Venge. I have a 2014 model non S-Works. It says that there are issues on Zipp's website with the S-works Maclaren Venge...
Do you ship to colombia ? which carrier ?...

How do you split a list into evenly sized chunks in Python?

I need to pass blocks of these to a third party API that can only deal with 4 items at a time. I could do one at a time but it's a HTTP request and process for each go so I'd prefer to do it in the lowest possible number of queries.
What I'd like to do is chunk the list into blocks of four and submit each sub-block.

Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language, and Other Summer Treats at MoMA
Even though it can be heavy on tourists, and light on splashy shows, I love summer at the Museum of Modern Art. For one thing, it's a great time to revisit, and to be re-awed by, the MoMA's legendary permanent collection of paintings and sculpture on the museum's fourth and fifth floors (seriously: I forget how many amazing works are just hanging here waiting to be looked at ALL THE TIME).
For another, the MoMA's open every day in the summer, and until 8:00 on both Thursday and Friday evenings, which always makes for a pleasant after-work plan. And for a third: ice cream in the sculpture garden!
Anyway, I went to the MoMA last week for all of the above, and also discovered a terrific little typography-laden exhibition in the back gallery on the third floor, with the somewhat ungainly title of Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language.
This smartly organized group exhibition has both a modern and a contemporary component, but it's all concerned with the ways in which letters and language has been visualized (or, more accurately, "materialized", in some way) by more than 30 artists over the past few decades.
The long hallway–or, I should say, the long "walk-talk-way") into the gallery has been set up with small historical pieces from the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Bruce Nauman, and Lawrence Weiner, mostly on paper, and all pretty cool. There's also three Dial-a-Poem phones which, if nothing else, offer a teachable moment for kids who have likely never seen such an "antique".
In the gallery proper you'll find the bulk of the MoMA's Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language show, and, though some of it was familiar to me, I really liked most of the pieces on display. Tauba Auerbach has a bunch of work here, including her brilliantly simple, typewritten The Whole Alphabet and All the Punctuation.
Experimental Jetset's Zang! Tum Btumb (If You Want It) hangs in the foyer, a take on the John and Yoko classic "War is Over"; there are cases filled with Paul Elliman's My Typographies and Paul Elliman's Found Fonts, in which objects become letters (or maybe it's the other way around?); and Karl Holmqvist's neon homage to Howl, I'm With You in Rockland, looks out over 54th Street.
But the real star of the MoMA's Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language is Shannon Ebner's massive, quadriptych Agitate, black-and-white photographs of huge cut-out cardboard letters, propped up against a brick wall with rebar. Ebner's piece dominates the gallery and was my favorite thing I saw all day.
You can find more information about summer hours and other goings-on at the MoMA, as well as more images from the Ecstatic Alphabet/Heaps of Language, on their website.

A Franklin city board will be responsible for as much as $580,000 of the costs of a new industrial building, but the goal is to get as much of that money back as possible.
The Franklin Redevelopment Commission is partnering with a Shelbyville developer on a shell building, which will be constructed but left unfinished and built without a specific business in mind.
The board approved spending up to $100,000 on expenses such as taxes and interest and $480,000 for 12 acres of land. The city board oversees the spending of property tax money collected from certain businesses, which typically is set aside for economic development projects.
As part of that approval, the board also is putting a lien on the property, so the redevelopment commission would have some guarantee of being paid back when the building sells, according to Rob Schafstall, the board's attorney.
Runnebohm Construction, the developer constructing the building, would be first to be paid back in a sale. That money would be used for the developer's costs of erecting the building, including any construction loans. The city board would be second in line to be paid back for its $580,000 investment, Schafstall said.
The agreement ensures that the city board has some say in what happens with the facility, such as to whom the building is sold and for how much, board member Rob Henderson said.
But he said that arrangement also could mean that the city board would not recoup all of its costs, depending on how much the property would sell for or if it never sold.
Since announcing plans for the building, the city, state and the county's top business recruiter have received multiple calls and contacts from interested companies, he said. When the building is sold to a business, the city will benefit from the value of the building and new jobs, he added.
"The risk of not moving forward is we would lose those leads by not having a shell building in the works," Henderson said.
The city board began considering a shell building after hearing from the Johnson County Development Corp. that few vacant manufacturing facilities were available, but companies repeatedly were asking for them when looking to expand or relocate.
Members of the redevelopment commission decided to work with Runnebohm Construction, which plans to erect a 50,000- to 60,000-square-foot building that easily could be expanded in the future.
The city board pledged to spend up to $100,000 on costs including surveys, title work, property taxes for the land and interest on a construction loan. And the board pledged to pay for the 12 acres of land the facility is being built on, at a cost of $40,000 per acre.
But the landowner has agreed to wait until September 2015 before asking for payment for that land, which is in the Franklin Business Park.
If the building sells before then, the city board would not have to pay that amount. But the city board could have to pay for part of that land price if the facility sells for less than expected, Henderson said.
By having the lien on the property, the city board will be involved in decisions about its future. He said the board will know who is looking at the property and how they plan to use it.
He said he considers any money the city board pays to be an incentive to a company that would move in. That doesn't include any incentives, such as property tax breaks, that the city economic development commission is considering approving for the building.
And if the board doesn't like a proposed sale or the amount it would get in the deal, members can reject it, Henderson said.
"We effectively will have veto power," he said.
The board also would have a say in whether Runnebohm Construction could enter into a long-term lease of the building, instead of a sale, Henderson said. Members of the board agreed they don't want to be involved in a long-term lease arrangement, so if that was what the developer decided to do, the company would need to find a way to repay the redevelopment commission, he said.
With the agreement from the city, the developer can start the process of constructing the building. Depending on weather, the facility could be built by mid-May, Henderson said.

Because I believe Sapien's shares are still intrinsically undervalued, the dilution from issuing another 5 million at the $6+ level is not my first choice.
That said, there are several positives in Sapien's moving forward with the secondary.
a). One factor handicapping Sapien's share price is the company is still flying well below Wall Streets's radar screen. Having Barclays, William Blair, Needham and Roth involved in this offering should raise SPNS awareness in those firms and their customer bases. Whether value or growth investors, the closer they look, the more they are going to like.
b). Another challenge is Sapien's small float and daily volume discouraged interest from many institutional investors. The secondary will help both metrics.
c). Secondary funds will push Sapien's acquisition war chest above the $50 million level. The FIS and IDIC acquisitions in 2011 proved to be very successful, positive and accretive. Adding another solid acquisition in 2014 will accelerate Sapiens ramp to Roni Al Dor's goal of $200 million in revenue by 2015.
Good luck to everyone.
Fuji, your optimism cup overfloweth :)
I think if you got a stain on one of your cherished shirts you would briefly acknowledge that it isn't the best thing to happen but then you would come up with several ways in which it may turn out for the good
a) opportunity to get noticed by others -- nothing quite grabs attention like a stain on an otherwise pristine shirt.
b) opportunity to wear another shirt instead
c) justification to buy a new shirt
Just being silly (kind of). keep writing.
To be an apple grower (think hail storms, windstorms, freezes, market collapses, competing against Chinese growers with $2/day labor, etc.) requires being inherently optimistic and a little crazy. The same with an investor rummaging through the bottom of the NASDAQ dumpster. I rank high on both metrics : )

"Qasr al-Kharanah: a castle in the desert" Qasr al Kharanah by Cristian_Uluru
Qasr al Kharanah Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 73 photos
The Desert Castles are a perfect daily trip from Amman. They are very nice and they rappresent one of the best off the beaten path of the Jordan.
Following the road 48 from Amman, after about 100 kilometres, you can find the first Desert Castle: Qasr al-Kharanah.
As you can see it is located in the middle of the desert and it seem a fortress. It has got very small windows and it was built far from the Commercial Road of the time and there wasn't water spring near it!! For these reasons historians think that it was a meeting place between the beduins and Omayyadi kings.

It's well known that people are much more likely to tell their friends about a bad customer experience than a good one and two contrasting experiences highlighted this to me recently.
According to this report, British customers are three times more likely to tell friends about bad service than they are about good service. 97.7% would simply take their business elsewhere.
The good
A BenQ monitor stopped working within a year of purchase so I raised a returns query online with the manufacturer. A prompt email response provided me with instructions on how to return the monitor and when it would be picked up. There would be no charge to me (unless it was found to be fault-free), a replacement would be shipped once tests were complete and I was told pick-up would be the next day. I didn't have to provide any proof of purchase or go through any mind numbing troubleshooting steps. The process so far was smooth, automated and hassle free.
The next day a courier arrived with a padded box for the faulty monitor to go in. Great, I didn't have to worry about packing it properly. But then the surprise…the padded box contained my replacement monitor! The courier dropped off my replacement and packed up the faulty monitor without BenQ running tests to prove the fault. A quick turnaround in 24 hours.
You could argue the monitor shouldn't have needed replacing within a year, or that the email reply didn't make it clear a replacement would be delivered or packaging would be provided but these were minor points that didn't matter to me. My expectations were exceeded and I couldn't have asked for more.
Before my monitor experience, I would have described BenQ as a low cost, budget IT manufacturer. But as a result of great service, my opinion of them changed favourably.
But interestingly I hardly told anyone about the experience.
The bad
The same week I spent half a day waiting at home for a visit from Virgin Media, a company I had previously thought good of, to install a TiVo box. No-one turned up and there was no phone call, text or email. So I called Virgin to find out what was going on, only to be told their records showed the appointment was for two weeks time.
I cancelled the upgrade, unhappy at having wasted half a day and unwilling to spend another half day waiting in, particularly as I had to pay for the engineer visit. As a result they lost an upgrade customer and I lost out on something I wanted.
The mistake was entirely mine. I booked the upgrade online with a provisional date and somehow failed to notice that the date in the confirmation email was different. But by the time I realised this it was too late. I had already re-told the story to family and friends and felt hard done by that Virgin hadn't done more to appease me.
Responding to complaints
I sent a message via Twitter to Virgin Media, not expecting a reply. Promptly they responded, asking if a reason was given for the mix-up. This small response made me feel that perhaps they did care, maybe just a tiny bit. Then I realised the error was mine. But how many people did I tell? One, maybe two. And I didn't post a follow up on Twitter. By that time my focus was elsewhere and it just didn't seem important.
Using social media to improve customer relations
This highlighted something else to me. Yes, people are far more likely to tell friends about a bad experience but it can be possible to turn this experience around if the response exceeds the customer's expectations.
By responding to my tweet, Virgin made me feel more valued than I had done previously. They could have followed this up further, perhaps by investigating (which of course would have shown me to be at fault!) or by offering me a discount. They would then have provided me with more than I expected. I would have been far more likely to tweet about that, post on Facebook or tell my friends. This would have largely undone the negativity spread by me re-telling the original experience.
The final lesson here is check your emails. It might just be your fault. Sorry Virgin…

114 degrees that is! On SR-39 at 12:30 at ~2k ft of elevation. Check out pics below.
Started in Glendora at 8am at 95F, climbed Mt. Baldy Road in 90-100F heat for most of the way, took GRR to East Fork to 39 and climbed to the point where the road was closed (~3200'). Time from Mt Baldy/Mills to the lifts was ~1:30. Drank 100oz of gatorade, 40oz of water, 24oz of soda and still lost 5lbs on the ride. Total stats were ~9k ft and 75 miles. I couldn't ride to Dawson's Saddle unfortunately. I would have died. I kept hoping the heat would dissipate as I climbed 39 but it stayed stubbornly at 105-115F. No shade. Bah! BTW, it did not appear easy to jump over the "Closed" barrier at ~3200 ft. What's the strategy to get over it?

Two Edmond seniors are accepted by U.S. Military Academy at West Point
EDMOND — Academic excellence is paying off for two Edmond North High School seniors who have been accepted into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Daniel Reape, 18, and Wayne Cobb, 17, are the latest scholarship recipients for North and its Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program, which gives both young men a four-year scholarship worth an estimated $400,000.
"I'm truly honored for the opportunity to serve my country," Reape said.
"I'm blown away and honored," Cobb said Thursday.
The acceptance is even more of an honor, said Lt. Col. Lester P. Tucker, senior aerospace science instructor, because federal budget cuts caused the next cadet class to be trimmed from 1,200 to 900 students.
Tucker, in his 15th year at North, said both young men are examples of what they teach at North.
"We tell all the students life is about choices and making responsible ones," Tucker said. "We're not here to get them into the military. We're here to make sure they make it to college."
Sharing in the moment was Jason Pittenger, second-year principal of North and its nearly 2,500 students.
"It's an amazing, proud moment for the kids and their families," he said. "They've worked hard, and this is the fruit of their labors."
The academy, at West Point, N.Y., has been in operation more than 200 years and produced many military leaders and two presidents, Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower.
"It's very humbling to be attending an institution that has been home to presidents and generals," Reape said.
Gaining acceptance into a military academy has long been a goal for both students.
Reape said he started looking toward West Point as an eighth-grader.
Cobb, who also sought acceptance into the Air Force Academy, participates in cross country and lacrosse as a club sport.
Reape has been on the track team and also ran cross country.

10/28/2008, south of Ensenada
Quite a bit has happened in the last few days. The new autopilot and new E80 chartplotter are installed and both work great. Prior to leaving San Diego, I tried to get the reluctant aft head working, and in the process removed the hose for overboard discharge. It turned out that the through hull for that hose doesn't close (you can turn the handle all right, but the valve does not shut off water flow).
So Monday morning at 8 a.m., I had the boat hauled out of the water at a yard in San Diego and had the valve replaced. We had the boat back in the water around 11:30 a.m., just in time to catch up with the Haha fleet that departed at 11:00.
We crossed the border into Mexico some time this afternoon and had a shot of tequila to celebrate. The winds were 15 to 20 knots on a broad reach, so we made good time, sailing at about 7 knots.
Towards the end of the afternoon I noticed something was wrong with the radar dome support. The dome was turned at a funny angle. The radar antenna is supported by a stainless steel tube that is bolted to a bracket at the stern and clamped to the backstay further up. The bolt where it is bolted at the stern had partially broken, allowing rotation of the entire radar antenna assembly along the axis of the backstay.
We attached the topping lift to the radar antenna to support its weight and minimize the strain on what is left of that quarter inch bolt. Also if that bolt separated completely, the stainless tube, with the radar cable in it, might damage the radar cable. We're hoping that won't happen before we get to Turtle Bay and can make repairs.
Speaking of which, the sail from San Diego to Turtle Bay is about 340 nautical miles. It's now 4 a.m. and we have another 215 nm to go. I'm doing the 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. shift, but I'm not too tired so I think I'll keep the watch for a few more hours. The night is clear and moonless and I can see the lights, and radar blips, of several Haha boats within a few miles of us. I'm keeping a constant watch for other boats. The AIS does a great job of watching out for ships. I would recommend AIS for anyone planning to do offshore sailing.
I have to say the Baja Haha looks like a ton of fun and I look forward to following the adventures.

We had a great time at the costume party today. Bruce and Pascale won their category for best costume!
10/26/2008, San Diego
To celebrate finishing lots of work on the boat, and being ready for tomorrow's start of the Ha-Ha we went out to dinner in the Gas Lamp district. We all wore our matching boat shirts.
Laundry hanging out to dry...

After shopping for investments, I relaxed at the historic Hotel Del Coronado.
10/25/2008, San Diego
I took some time out to look at potential real estate investments. This house seemed like a nice possibility.
10/24/2008, San Diego
Having installed the new autopilot yesterday, we took the boat out on the bay to calibrate the autopilot. This took about an hour.
Back at the dock, I installed a backup engine starting switch right at the engine. We had some instances where the engine wouldn't start, but putting a screwdriver across the solenoid terminals got it going. The new switch replaces the screwdriver.
That being done, I investigated a freshwater leak that was draining a large amount of our fresh water supply into the bilge. This was keeping both the bilge pump and the water pressure pump working more than they should. I found the source: a pinhole leak in the side of the pressure reservoir. Water was squirting out in a steady stream.
I made a trip to West Marine and got a new pressure reservoir, and installed it. Problem solved.
While at West Marine, I purchased a bilge pump and a water pressure pump, and another head rebuild kit, just to carry with us as spares. If we don't use them, we can always return them later. Finding those parts in Mexico would be very difficult.
Meanwhile, John laid out the anchor chain on the dock in preparation for painting marks on it every 20 ft. John also installed the brackets for the dinghy wheels on the dinghy.
I spoke to Jonah, our rigger, on the phone today, for his advice. I found 73 feet of Vectra 5/16 line at 10 cents a foot. Normally it sells for 3 bucks a foot. I was asking Jonah what we could use it for. He said, not too much, but for the price: go for it. The stuff is amazing, with a breaking strength of 11,000 pounds.
Jonah reminded me that, in an earlier blog post, I understated how much rigging work we had done. We replaced all the standing rigging, and most of the running rigging, changing stretchy lines and worn out blocks where it counts. I especially love the new low stretch jib sheets, so much better than huge 3/4 inch sheets that came with the boat. The old ones were so big they pinched in the turning blocks. The new ones are even color coordinated with the boat!
