KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The efficiency and reduced costs of wireless technology has given a boost to the industrial wireless market in Southeast Asia (SEA), Australia, and New Zealand (ANZ). The market will continue to grow as several multinationals investing in industries across the region look to enhance their infrastructure by leveraging wireless technology.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com), Southeast Asia and Australia-New Zealand Industrial Wireless Market, finds that the market earned revenues of over US$98.3 million in 2011 and estimates this to more than double to reach US$200.0 million in 2018.
Australia and Malaysia offer huge potential for industrial wireless applications. Australia, being the most developed country in the region, serves as an ideal destination for wireless vendors offering customized solutions to secure large installations. The energy sector, especially oil and gas, will be a major end user across SEA and ANZ.
"Installation of wirelessly connected assets is approximately ten times cheaper than wired ones, and this cost advantage encourages wireless migration," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Krishnan Ramanathan. "Wireless communication as a networking alternative offers quick start-ups and efficient data-gathering, further enhancing value and long-term returns."
In addition, wireless technologies decrease human exposure to hazardous environments since they minimize the need to record readings manually. They facilitate frequent measurement and early detection of issues, reducing accidents. They are also less prone to damage and sabotage than wired systems.
However, the absence of a unified global standard restrains the adoption of wireless solutions in SEA and ANZ. Since each technology works on a different platform, compatibility issues can arise.
Industrial wireless networks also require tight security to protect wireless signals and prevent unauthorized access to data. Current wireless encryption protocols are difficult to handle and common users must be educated on the ways to address these security issues.
"Suppliers must communicate the benefits of wireless solutions to users that feel it is fraught with risks and therefore, prefer to use proven technologies," concluded Ramanathan. "As users recognize the potential of wireless devices in monitoring as well as in process control, the SEA and ANZ market will witness steady growth."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

What terrors lurk in the ruins of the Well-Built City?
Where manufactured order once reigned, now there is peace. In this second volume of the Well-Built City Trilogy, the dominion has fallen, and its vicious ruler, Drachton Below, has been defeated. Cley has renounced the title of physiognomist, striking out on his own to establish the idyllic village of Wenau, where he lives as a healer and the inhabitants' protector. But when the villagers suddenly start to succumb to a lethal sleeping sickness, Cley is pulled back into the struggle he thought he had left behind.
In order to cure his community of this horrible malady, Cley journeys back to the Well-Built City, braving dangerous ruins teeming with mechanical birds and werewolves. Amid the wreckage, he finds the deposed ruler, Drachton Below, comatose from the same sickness that has overtaken Cley's village. Below created this disease, and he is the only one with the knowledge to cure it. In order to create an antidote, Cley must venture into Drachton Below's mind to gather the information he needs from the source before the disease ravages the village—and Below's mind—forever.

Book Two of the Well-Built City Trilogy
By Jeffrey Ford
OPEN ROAD INTEGRATED MEDIACopyright © 1999 Jeffrey Ford
All rights reserved.
In the years since completing a written account of the fall of the Well-Built City, which told of my personal transformation from Physiognomist to humble citizen and the inception of this once idyllic settlement of Wenau, I never again thought it would be necessary to put pen to paper, but after what has occurred in the past few weeks, I must warn my unsuspecting neighbors. There is a demon loose in paradise—one that beguiles by resurrecting the past. Its victims grow cold to the world, desiring only yesterday, as their souls dissipate for want of exercise in the here and now. Memories swarm about me, every bit as real as the day, and I will attempt to trap them here in this manuscript, like slapping shut the lid on a box full of bees. Then I'll flee northward in order to lose myself in the vast wilderness of the Beyond. It would be a false assumption to think that because I write this with my own hand, in the past tense, that I came through these adventures in possession of my life. Death, it seems, has many definitions.
It was not long after the settlement was founded that the marketplace at Wenau developed into quite a bustling center of trade. The citizens of our new community no longer merely bartered among themselves but also attracted farmers from Latrobia, which lay a considerable distance to the east. River people from as far south as the villages at Constance occasionally arrived on their barques loaded with hand-woven cloth, spices, homemade fishing gear, which they hoped to deal for fresh game and vegetables. Our people became adept at gathering and harvesting food, but the items the outsiders wanted more than any others were those mementos of technology we had taken away with us from the destruction of the Well-Built City.
Something as useless as a single brass gear could be traded for a blanket of the highest quality. The river people wore these remnants as amulets of power on cords around their necks. Little did they know how pleased we were to be rid of them. Everything balanced in the end, though, and there were no squabbles or accusations of thievery. The outsiders, having lived closer to the land for longer, were much rougher than we, but they adopted our peaceful ways. This location we chose for our settlement, nestled between two crisscrossing rivers, engendered its own spell of calm.
I went to the market once a week to trade medicinal herbs, roots, and tree bark I collected from the fields and forests—a practice taught to me by Ea and his son before they left for the Beyond. It was on those days that I also met my neighbors and took appointments to visit the women who were carrying children. Ever since delivering Arla's daughter, word had gotten about that I was an effective midwife, and, because of this, I was in some part responsible for the births of at least fifteen children. My acquired role as that of a healer of sorts pleased me, and I hoped that in the hypothetical ledger of my life it would offset somewhat the harm I had previously done.
A few weeks ago, I carried with me to the market something I never before would have thought of trading—a certain piece of green fabric, the veil left to me by Arla. For years, it remained both a bothersome mystery and a great comfort. On those nights when loneliness surrounded me, I would take it out of the chest beneath my bed and hold it fast for the peace it offered. At other times, I would actually speak to it, as if her face still hid beneath, trying to obtain an answer as to her reason for having left it with me. I often wondered if it was a sign that she had forgiven me or if it was meant to remind me of my guilt.
The night before my trip to the market, I was called on to deliver a child. All went well as far as the mother's health was concerned, but the baby came forth stillborn. I worked for over an hour to try to revive him, knowing soon after I began that my efforts would probably be hopeless. No one blamed me for this tragedy, and, surprisingly enough, though I felt bad, I could not even blame myself. On my walk home through the night, I stopped to look up at the immensity of the starlit sky and for some reason, I still cannot say why, I suddenly felt released from my responsibility to the past. The thought leaped into my mind: "Cley, you will trade away that green veil. It will not do to simply dispose of it. No matter how meager the material worth of the item you trade it for, you must find someone who wants it."
The market was crowded the following day with haggling traders, children at play, and the old, entertaining with comic and cautionary tales. I carried my sack of medicines thrown over my left shoulder and wove my way amidst the practical confusion of the place, searching out likely patrons.
At first, I went about my business, selling what I could. People knew me well and knew that my medicines were genuine. They described complaints to me, and I would tell them exactly what they might use to alleviate their suffering. After making a few trades for thread and fish-bone needles, salt and powdered orian (a bean from the south that when mixed with boiling water made a beverage that was a dull imitation of shudder), I took out the green veil and tried to trade it.
Those I approached were as polite as usual, but I could tell they remembered the purpose that it had once served and were reluctant to even gaze at it. Although Arla had been gone for years, she remained a mythical figure to the inhabitants of Wenau. The legendary horror of the face that green cloth once masked, its death-dealing power, was too much for them to overcome. I might just as well have been trying to barter a winding sheet stripped from one of their relatives.
Jensen Watt, the owner of the stills that brewed a form of alcohol that was known as field beer, and a good friend of mine, came over to me and put his arm around my shoulders.
"Cley," he said. "No need to trade such a personal item as the veil. What do you need? I'll send it over to your place before the sun goes down."
"I need to trade this veil," I said.
"You delivered my daughter, for which you asked no payment, and I still owe you from our last card game, but even I wouldn't take it off your hands. You're spooking the entire marketplace by waving that thing around."
"I can't keep this ghost in my house anymore," I told him.
"Tie a stone in it and toss it in the river," he said.
I shook my head. "I must find someone who wants it."
He took his arm off me, leaned back, and raked his fingers through his beard. "Bring it over to my stall. I have six Latrobians there drinking off the price of a mule I borrowed from them last spring. One of them might be drunk enough to trade a trifle, not knowing the story behind it."
I thought this was a sound suggestion, but we never made it to Watt's makeshift tavern, for as we set out across the marketplace, some slight commotion could be heard among the traders at the different stalls. "Look, look," I heard quite a few of them say. I wondered for a moment if they were reacting to the sight of the veil, which I still held in my left hand, but when I turned around, I saw that they were pointing upward at something overhead.
It came circling down from a great height in an ever-diminishing gyre. The wingspan must have been five feet across, and, though its features bore some resemblance to a giant crow, it shone brightly, reflecting the sun from metallic wings. Silence swept through the marketplace as everyone gathered close to the point where it was evident it would land. With perfect mechanical grace, it glided silently down to perch with chrome talons atop a six-foot flagpole that stood at the center of the market.
My heart sank at the sight of it sitting there, cocking its head from side to side as if taking in the entirety of the crowd through its steel eyes. Accompanying each of its movements was the whisper-whir of gears turning within its tin-feathered body. Those gathered around me were smiling in wonder at it, but I knew there was only one person who could have given life to the glimmering creature.
My worst fears were confirmed when it finally opened its beak and words came forth in a mechanized imitation of the voice of Drachton Below. Everything that followed was like a nightmare. My neighbors seemed to have, in the eight years we had been free of him, forgotten the Master's voice. I wanted to warn them, to tell them to run, but my words came forth as pinpricks, and my legs seemed mired.
"Greetings, people of Wenau," said the bird. It flapped its wings, and the children clapped their hands. "You have all been so very busy since last I saw you. Now, it is time to sleep. Watch for me in your dreams."
As the shining crow finished its message, a sudden look of recognition swept through the adults in the crowd. Then the bird screeched like a machine unable to cope with a sudden surge of power, and their faces gave way to expressions of horror. "Below," Jensen yelled a second before the thing exploded with a deafening roar, spewing gear-work, springs, and metal shards amidst a billowing yellow cloud.
I could hear the others screaming and choking. In their attempts to escape, they knocked into each other, trampling the unfortunates who had been felled by the blast. My eyes burned so badly from whatever chemical had composed the cloying mist that all became a watery blur before me. Luckily, I had the veil in my hand, and at the first sign that the yellow fog was more than just the smoke of the explosion, I covered my mouth and nose with it.
Staggering blindly, I made my way to the river, which was just beyond the marketplace. I cleared my eyes well enough to make out the edge of the bank, and when I surmised I was right above the water, I dropped my sack and let myself fall forward. Like a dead man, I sank toward the bottom, and the slow-moving current swept around me, washing the acrid yellow fog from my eyes and clothing. I stayed under as long as I could and then worked my way back to the surface, where I drew in a huge draught of fresh air. When I felt as though I had cleansed myself of the Master's evil, I swam to the bank and crawled out.
I could hear the groans of the wounded back at the marketplace, and I knew I had to return to help them, but my head was reeling. "Rest for a moment," I told myself, and collapsed onto my back. Staring up into the empty sky, I breathed deeply in an attempt to calm my nerves. All I could think of was Below and how foolish we had been to believe that he could ever let us live free of his interference. As I worked to compose myself, my memory took me back to the Well-Built City, where I had held the title of Physiognomist, First Class. I had done Below's bidding, deciphering the faces of the populace, bringing my calipers to bear on foreheads, cheekbones, chins in order to determine the moral character of that city's inhabitants. The Master, with his self-assurance, his powerful magic and technological genius, had made me believe that his physiognomical standard would allow me to correctly read all of those books by their covers. In the process, I had sent men, women, and children to their doom for no more than the shape of an earlobe, condemned the innocent to prison for the prominence of a brow.
Surface was everything, and at the height of my arrogance, I had even believed I could increase a young woman's virtue by changing her outer appearance with my scalpels. In the end, I had butchered her, the woman I loved, to the point where it was necessary for her to go about with a green veil covering her face. When I realized the ugliness I had created, I finally understood the essence of Below. I then helped to subvert his power and topple his regime. The last I saw of him, he stood amidst the wreckage of the Well-Built City, restraining, by a leash, the pitiful wolf-girl, Greta Sykes, while circling high above him was the demon he had brought back from the Beyond. "There is so much work to do," he had said. "Last night, I had another dream, a magnificent vision." That vision had just become reality in the marketplace at Wenau.
The yellow mist cleared by the time I made my way, dripping wet, back to the marketplace. Others who had fled were also just returning to help the wounded. Bodies lay everywhere. The sounds of anguish had ceased only to be replaced by an eerie quiet. I found a small child, dead, with the bird's silver beak embedded, like a dagger, in his forehead. A woman's face had been ripped completely off by the blast. Five had actually been killed by the explosion. The others who lay about, eighteen in all, were still alive but had succumbed to the yellow mist. These victims exhibited no obvious signs of distress, but appeared just to have dozed off in a midafternoon nap. The peace with which they slept was almost enviable.
I tended to the minor wounds of those who lay in the fog-induced coma while others cleared away the dead. It was a grim business amidst the groans and curses that came from the relatives of the victims. Although everyone was dazed and scared, we worked together to try to bring the situation under control. Even the outsiders pitched in and did what they could. Jensen, who I was happy to see survived the blast, led his drunken Latrobian patrons to the river, where they fetched water to be used to try to revive those under the spell of the chemical.
I made good use of the herbs and roots in my sack to create poultices that would stave off infection in minor wounds. To the mother of the dead child, I administered a dose of owl's beard, a stringy moss that grows only at the tops of old yew trees. This calmed her for the time being, but I knew, as did her trembling husband, that there was nothing in nature that could quell the loss forever. We tried everything to revive those trapped in that strange slumber. I broke sticks of ice mint under their noses. Cold water was applied, light slapping followed, and when we grew frustrated, we shouted their names into their ears. They remained wrapped in a deep sleep, each of them wearing the most damnably subtle grin as if they were all dreaming of paradise.
I did not head for home until well after dark, when all of the dead had been buried and the sleeping had been carried safely to their beds. Before taking leave, I borrowed a change of clothes from Jensen and sat with him and some of the others down by the river, where we drowned our anguish with field beer. The conversation was subdued, focusing mainly on the lives of those who had died that day. No one had any answers, but each of us asked at least once what the fog could have been. At the time, it was a better question than, "Will they ever awaken from it?" This was not the only thought unvoiced that night. We all knew that we would have to deal with Below, which would mean returning to the ruins of the Well-Built City. It was clear that we would probably have to kill him.
On my way home through the meadow, I stopped in the same spot I had the previous night and again looked up at the sky. Reaching into my pocket, I retrieved the green veil and held it out to look at it. Even if I had gotten someone to take it off my hands, I realized that I could never really be rid of it. Besides, it might very well have saved my life.
I spent a sleepless night, the candles burning brightly, unable to face the demons, werewolves, and mechanical exploding birds I might find in my dreams. The stone knife I held in my right hand was for Below, should he appear from out of the darkness; and the veil, which I held in the left, was for me.CHAPTER 2
When the sun finally rose to show me that Below wasn't lurking in the shadows, I lifted my stiffened body from the chair in which I had kept my vigil and crept over to the bed. I fell into it much the way I had fallen into the river the day before. No sooner did I close my eyes, though, than a knock sounded at the door.
"Cley, are you in there?" said a familiar female voice. It was Semla Hood, a young woman whose child I had delivered and whose husband, Roan, was a fishing companion of mine.
"No," I called out with a heavy sigh, and rolled myself to a sitting position.
"Please, Cley, you must come. Something terrible has happened."
I stood slowly and shuffled to the door. My only solace was that I did not have to change, since I had spent the night fully dressed, supposedly ready for action. I opened the door.
"Cley," she said. "Roan has fallen asleep."

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 81 reviews
Great place to stay but the service takes it over the top. Absolutely wonderful, friendly staff make this place a winner!
We are there for our honeymoon. The rooms are nice and fancy, but a lot of the upgraded features are not functional / practical (e.g. Radio in the shower, squared toilet). But overall an excellent experience and the staff are very helpful and nice.
Beautiful, museum-like, incredible design and decorating. Fantastic staff, great service, decent location, the breakfast was so, so, but they made eggs for me, I didn't like not having a stand up shower in my room, but jacuzzi and hamman were nice, spa was good, I also didn't like the rectangular toilet in my room. The staff were the kindest people I meet in morocco and the riad was as fabulous as nearly any of the sites I saw.
It was very quiet at the hotel and the staff were accommodating but there only seemed to be 4/5 staff over the 24hours. The nighttime staff were not great and service was extremely slow. Food was simple each morning and lots of bread!! Not really 5 star but the facilities were lovely just a shame that the service was disappointing.
Really helpful staff, they arranged for us to eat on the roof terrace when nobody else was eating up there. The hotel was very quite - almost earily so, and the room we stayed in was quite claustrophobic witht the windows looking into the (small) courtyard. However, it was well fitted out and extremly clean.

I ALSO am SOOO impressed that your staff caught an error in my order. In my family ornament I listed Cole twice and omitted a different grandchild. I received a call to ask if that was correct. Not ANY other company I have worked with would be that conscientious. I was going to get a picture of us all with our ornaments and send you but with a 1, 2, 3 and 4 year old - it was wild to say the least. So you'll just have to accept my thank you email. I hope your 2016 is everything you hope it to be. Thank you again! Pam O."

Brooks Wines 2010 Ara Riesling, Willamette Valley, $25
Named after a Southern Hemisphere constellation, few Northwest wineries showcase the beauty and potential of aged dry Riesling as does Chris Williams for Brooks. There's a sense of baked pineapple, poached pear, apricot, cloves and oiliness in the aromas, yet the palate is dry and dramatic. Flavors feature Asian pear and the second-cut of fresh pineapple, backed by bold acidity with overtones of grapefruit and apple. The finish carries classic slate qualities. The technical data directs it bone dry on the International Riesling Foundation scale at 0.47% residual sugar with a total acidity of 9.8 and pH checking in at 2.92. Brooks' 2006 version from the same vines — the volcanic soils Brooks Estate and sedimentary of Yamhill Vineyard — was featured at the first state dinner for President Obama in 2009. A suggested recipe is White Bean Soup from Kitchen Daily.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 300 cases
Alcohol: 11.5%

Mix: Podtropolis, Repeat buyers, Pods Plus, iPod sales
Podtropolis is the first BitTorrent tracker created specifically for iPod-formatted content, including movies, TV shows and music videos.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster says that about 30 percent of current iPod purchasers are repeat buyers who are either replacing their existing iPod or adding a new member to their iPod family.
Pods Plus is offering iLoungers 10% off their purchases by using the coupon code "ilounge10". The offer expires 12/31/2005 and can be used with the current promotion for free shipping on all orders over $25.
"We believe sales of new iPods are picking up steam into calendar year-end, with new video iPod sales stronger than we expected," says Benjamin Reitzes of UBS Investment Research. "Also, we believe that the story has more legs as the 'iPod hand-off' to the Mac story continues to takes shape."

BitTorrent is a file sharing format in which the users are responsible for what they share. Like any P2P technology, it can be used for good or bad—illegal, copyrighted material or a song they wrote and recorded themselves on their Mac. We just linked to the site as news, reporting that this is the first BitTorrent tracker specifically for the iPod to launch. Nothing more. We do not advocate illegal downloading of copyrighted content. It's simply up to the users to decide what to share with each other. As Apple would say, don't steal music (or movies or TV shows or music videos).
Posted by Larry Angell on November 7, 2005 at 2:17 PM (CST)
I'm perfectly aware of that, I just found it strange you linked to it, since no other major site has the balls to do it. Hell, even on my own site, I don't allow people to link directly to those pages, since it's against the ToS of my host.

Actully im all for torrents , with out torrents alot of my knoweledge of software and taste in music would be deminished And it has convinced me to buy albums on or software packages that cost thousands , Having Access to p2p i think is important . And like cassette recording i doubt we will see the end of it .So embrace the future .
Besides PODTROPOLIS kicks ass its simple , and seems to have good taste in content so far , i just hope that there are more seeds . because so far theres quallity but not quantity . but im sure that will change soon it seems to be the only one out there .

- BBR's Player Season Finder just got a little more awesome.
- Today is the first day when players signed new contracts between July 1 and Sept. 15 can be traded. When the NBA sector of the interwebz becomes a replicant of a cage filled with poo-flinging moneys. Here's a list of the 105 players newly eligible to be traded as of Wednesday and teams looking to deal.
- Denver's Channel 7 made an actual report that the Nuggets agreed to terms with a deal sending 'Melo to New Jersey for Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy (whose acquisition via trade with the Pacers was heavily assumed to be with the purpose of such a trade), and a 1st rd. draft pick. The news network re-edited their story to "serious talks" after the Nuggets denied the rumor.
The Nets did acquire the Lakers' 2011 1st rd. pick and Houston's 2012 1st rounder in a three-way deal sending Terrence Williams to the Rockets from NJ, Sasha Vujacic to the Absolutely Nots of New Jersey from L.A., and Joe Smith to the Lakers from NJ. They now have five 1st rd. picks over the next two years. Trust me, Denver wants to trade 'Melo to NJ right now, but that would require 'Melo signing off on a contract extension.
Mr. Sharapova said, " I definitely want to double what I did in LA." So, he's striving for 9.8 PPG on 39% shooting?
Wouldn't it be great if the Nots gamble on trading for him without an extension and being able to convince 'Melo to re-sign, just to see him sign elsewhere? I'm torn because I feel "elsewhere" would be the Knicks, but seeing one of those two embarrassed in this ordeal is awesome when you've accepted that 'Melo will be Knick.
DallasBasketball.com reported the Mavs "continue to touch base" with Denver for 'Melo, which implies their best young talent, Rodrigue Beaubois, is in the deal, but Denver reportedly doesn't want Caron Butler's expiring contract.... Make you understand why they haven't accepted the Knick deal including Eddy Curry's expiring deal? Denver botching this up real bad.
- 'Melo actually played some basketball last night, too... And. boy, was he a BAMF!
Anthony finished with a 35-11 double-double on 14-for-21 shooting against the Magic's matador-D. Orlando (16-9) lost in Denver (15-9) 111-94, despite J.J. Redick's 29pts thanks to 6-for-9 on threes and Dewey's 21-14 double-double. The Magic were out-rebounded overall 40-34 as the Nuggets shot 53.8% (Box Score)
The Magic D took a nap. Seriously, move some feet somewhere. Hands in faces, maybe?
- On the NBA players authorizing decertification of their union before the CBA expires in June, NBPA executive director Billy Hunter told The New York Times: "It's just one of the things we may have to contemplate, but it's pretty far off."
- Going into Tuesday, Darko Milicic had never had a 25-10 double-double in his career because his previous career-high was 23 pts. What changed Tuesday? Minnie played GSW (9-16). Guess what happened.
That said, the Darkopuppies (6-19) still lost 108-99. Only GSW's 3rd win in their last 17. Monta Ellis was a BAMF with 34 pts playing all 48 minutes and his teammate Dan Gadzuric finished with a +3 suck differential. (Box Score)
- The 29ers (9-15) played the Nots (6-19) in what I'm told was an NBA game. The 82-77 score makes me skeptical with the teams shooting 40.6% and 34.2% respectively. The Nots grabbed 51 rbs and lost, FFS! As for their biggest off-season acquisition the preceded the NBA world to predict the team that went 12-70 last season could make the playoffs scored 14 on 6-for-17 shooting -- 2-for-6 on threes. But he did have 7 rbs and 2 blks. The second-biggest acquisition had a trillion. Quinton Ross almost had a 16 trillion, but grabbed a rebound and committed a foul. (Box Score)
- The ATL (16-10) lost to the Pisspots (8-18) 103-80, despite Josh Smith's 26 pts, Al Horford's 17-12 double-double, and Mike Bibby's 14 because the rest of the team scored a whopping 23. Knee-Mac scored 16 and "power" forward Chucky V (who came in averaging 4.5 RPG) had a 23-11 double-double off the bench. (Box Score)
- Leave it to the Rockets (10-14) to allow for the Queens (5-17) to shoot 52.5% and seven players scoring double figures to score 105 pts without Tyreke Evans. Leave it to Suxcramento to do all that and lose 118-105. Jared Jeffries had a +3 suck differential. (Box Score)
- Toronto (9-16) played the 26th-best offense in the NBA in Charlotte and the Bobcats (9-15) shot 52% with five players scoring in double figures. Andrea Bargnani only had 14 pts and 8 rbs. Guess what happened.... (Box Score)
This is why I'm fine with Derrick Rose and/or Joakim Noah resting out Wednesday's game in Toronto.
- Knicks and Puppies have had "multiple discussions" about sending Sebastian Telfair to NY. It's been reported heavily as of late NY is looking to be aggressive in finding a backup PG.

The new hose worked well as a replacement for a hose that was defective. I wish it was easier to replace but the directions were clear and it wasn't too bad. Hopefully, this hose will last longer than the original.
Posted by Chris on 7 02 2016
The new long hose from power washer to the spray gun is slightly lighter than the OEM hose as far as I can tell and coils easier on the reel. The small hose is quite stiff and seems to be identical to the original hose. I hope these hoses don't have to be replaced again as they are not easy to exchange.
Posted by Luke Rheaume on 6 08 2016
When I came to use my PowerWasher this spring, I couldn't because of a broken pressure hose. after a bit of searching, I found the replacement parts and after a bit of work, I was able to replace it myself (I also had to by a new long Phillips screwdriver). Happy to get my PowerWasher working again.

The product was exactly what I need. The exact part with detailed pictured instructions. Quick delivery. It took about an hour or so to remove and install the new part

The long and short high pressure hoses lack the durability that one would expect. The high pressure hose failed after approximately 10 uses. The support to find a replacement and the instructions were excellent.
Posted by Unknown on 4 09 2016
easy to order, clear instructions, easy to install
Posted by Chris on 3 05 2016
Good support in ordering and the product came with good instructions if needed.
Posted by Tom on 12 30 2015
Had to replace original hose after approximately one year of use (approximately ten times). Replacement went rather easily thanks to the internet. You should send detailed instructions with the hose. The only paperwork included with the hose was an invoice. Shipping was fast and unit is once again working. Hope this hose lasts longer than original.

Four Tips to Liven Up Your Facebook Marketing
April 19, 2011
Many relationship therapists will tell you that the key to a successful long-term relationship is keeping things new, exciting, and fresh. The same is true for our online relationships – if you want to keep your Facebook fans happy, you'll need to add new content regularly. While you can't join a French cooking class with your fans, you can still show them you care by treating them to regular updates to your fan page.
Here are a few quick ways to keep your Facebook fan pages and advertising programs fresh.
Create Unique and Dynamic Tabs
Instead of sticking solely to the default tabs, add custom tabs to your fan page so that visitors have a variety of places to explore and interact with your brand.
Make your pages visually dynamic with cool graphics or photographs.
Here are a few great examples of dynamic Facebook landing pages:
Immediately we are asked to "like" this page through the use of a colorful graphic rather than plain text. They've also bulleted out some advantages of becoming a fan.
Diesel's extremely self-aware landing page makes me smile. Begging for our attention is certainly one way to get it.
Immediately upon "liking" Diesel, we are taken to a new page that invites us to join in on a fun little game by naming the thing you would not want to bring with you to a desert island. They also cleverly incorporated an original "Dislike" icon, integrating their brand into the language of Facebook.
'Tis the Season for Profile Pictures
Be sure to change your profile picture from time to time. Try to match the season: adding snowflakes to your background at Christmas, pumpkins around Halloween, etc. Although it seems like a small touch, it's a refreshing surprise for users.
Bigelow has a plethora of profile pics, each changing with the season. There's even a Valentine's Day themed pic. (Because nothing says "You are the pearl of my world, the love and treasure of my life" like a box of tea bags.)
Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer
Make sure you're utilizing your fan page to its full potential. There are lots of good examples of excellent fan pages. Try browsing other company fan pages—especially those of your competitors! Take note of what they do well and where you could improve yourself.
Know how to do damage control – play around with Facebook's Blocklist options. The Profanity Blocklist filters posts with curse words to a secret Hidden Posts tab that only an admin can see. The Moderation Blocklist allows you to automatically filter posts with certain keywords to the Hidden Posts tab. Blocking certain negative words and competitor names helps ensure that only positive content appears on your Page. The admin can access the Hidden Posts tab and look at any posts that were filtered out. If the admin wants to put the hidden post back on the Page's wall, they can click the X button next to it and click "Unhide post."
Generally, it's a smart idea to set your profanity blocklist to "Strong," add a range of terms to the Moderation Blocklist, and regularly check out the Hidden Posts section and unhide the appropriate posts.
Be Creative with Your Ad Targeting
If you advertise on Facebook, think about sneaky ways you can improve your targeting. For example, while Facebook doesn't ask for income information from users, many businesses want to get their ads in front of affluent users.
If you're interested in finding potential customers in this tax bracket, consider targeting specific high-profile job titles such as President, CEO, and Partner. Target those who "like" classier travel destinations such as "Ibiza" or "The Hamptons," and don't forget the expensive hobbies like "horseback riding" or "yachting." You can also target the geographic location of the wealthy by picking out specific neighborhoods and suburbs belonging to the upper crust.
In the new "Broad Category" targeting, you can target luxury goods. If someone's spending big bucks on mink coats and sports cars, chances are they have some money to throw your way too!
