Corporate Advocacy Program™
EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to United Realty and Jacob Frydman for their dedicated to excellence in customer service. United Realty's mission is to identify opportunistic real estate investments, develop creative strategies for adding value and effectively executing those strategies to generate exceptional returns while providing consistent, stable cash-flow. United Realty achieves those goals through its proprietary, multi-product investment platform which serves as the basis for income generation, principal protection and wealth creation for today's real estate investors.
Ripoff Report's discussions with United Realty and Jacob Frydman have confirmed the company's ongoing commitment to design and bring to market innovative real estate based investment products designed to generate both income and growth. [continued below]....
United Realty's CEO and Chairman, Jacob Frydman, has informed us that, "United Realty's highest priority is to meet the goals of the financial planning community and their valued investors." Ripoff Report is very pleased with the responsiveness that Mr. Frydman and his employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on all their promises.
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Alex Libin during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward United Realty.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
United Realty is a company specializing in providing real estate based financial services and investment properties, which are sold to qualified investors either through the independent broker/dealer channel or through private placements. Leads are typically acquired through the independent broker/dealer network, and then the investment process moves on from there. United Realty does not deal with the consumer directly, but rather, works with intermediaries. "If investors acquire our products, then we have an entire customer service department. We have a transfer agent. We're a public company," states Alex Libin, a representative of United Realty.
At times, customers may be unhappy with the services they receive, however, Mr. Libin states that it is not common for their customers to feel dissatisfied and lodge complaints against the company, especially since they are not offering a product or service per se, but rather offering an opportunity to invest in a fund. "If we had a complaint, we would do everything in our power to make sure a customer was well taken care of," states Mr. Libin. If a customer did not feel happy or satisfied with their investment, Mr. Libin states that United Realty would then "let them redeem out." The team at United Realty take steps to ensure that their customers are satisfied and happy with their decision to work with United Realty. "In the investment world, there are no guarantees, so we rely on our track record; we rely on the fact that we have generated above-market, risk adjusted returns for many years and our investors understand that. That's why they invest with us," states Mr. Libin. He does not feel that the complaint lodged against his company on Ripoff Report was raised by anyone who has been a customer of United Realty, but rather, by a disgruntled former partner. "We've had no one in connection with this report come to us," states Mr. Libin.
Mr. Libin and the team at United Realty recognize the value of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and clients to interact and resolve issues. "We're more than happy to participate in all customer satisfaction programs and we're delighted to be a part of this," states Mr. Libin.
UNITED REALTY / Statements from owner Jacob Frydman
"We seek out opportunities by investing in real estate, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate-dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities throughout the United States. In executing our investment strategy we employ a dual strategy in building portfolios – one strategy focuses on acquiring existing stabilized cash flowing assets to generate cash flow to our investors. The second strategy focuses on acquiring opportunistic assets which we can reposition, redevelop or remarket to create value enhancement and capital appreciation.
At United Realty, we seek to make our real estate investment expertise available to smaller individual investors who generally do not have the expertise or ability to make such investments, by sponsoring through our affiliates, Real Estate Investment Trusts, and advising those REITs. We are committed to our investors and the financial advisor community through whom we sell our investment funds. We are also committed to our tenants. We strive to deliver exceptional work place environments and innovative solutions to meet or exceed our tenants' real estate needs. And we are also committed to our team of professionals, by forging a growth-oriented work place with emphasis on personal achievement, growth and learning. We are passionate and committed to excel at all we do. We strive to be the premier real estate investment and operating company in our markets as recognized by our clients, our partners, our employees, our tenants and the investment community."
"Whether its investing for our own account, with partners, or assisting clients in achieving their goals, United Realty mobilizes the core competence of its entire team of professionals to conceive of the best strategies to achieve the goals for each project, and tirelessly execute on that strategic plan to achieve superior risk-adjusted results. We approach each opportunity with an unyielding entrepreneurial spirit, constantly striving to generate both stable cash flows and superior risk-adjusted returns. We accomplish these goals by executing on a dual strategy of acquiring existing stabilized cash flowing assets at below their replacement costs to support stable, consistent, distributions and simultaneously acquiring opportunistic assets which we can reposition, redevelop or remarket to create value enhancement and capital appreciation.
Three themes define our value-added investment strategies:
Cautious Contrarianism During periods of economic downturns we seek out-of-favor sectors or markets to exploit capital or product misalignments.
Exploitation of Inefficiencies We capitalize on information advantages to identify micro-market imbalances and secure investments on favorable terms.
Value-added Management We create capital appreciation opportunities through repositioning, restructuring, re-development and intensive management of under-utilized assets.
United Realty seeks investment opportunities at attractive valuations in assets where we identify opportunities that others miss. We seek out assets which, because of their property-specific characteristics or their market characteristics may benefit from unique repositioning opportunities or from redevelopment or which are located in markets with high growth potential or that are available from distressed sellers. Based on our team's creative approach, diverse expertise and ability to innovatively finance projects, we conceive of a unique strategy for each project, and tirelessly execute on that strategic plan to achieve superior risk-adjusted results. We have an impressive long-term track record of generating higher than expected returns by implementing creative solutions for complicated real estate transactions.
Optimizing Investment Structures
We tailor the financial structure of each of our investments to minimize risk and maximize its strengths in order to deliver a better than average risk adjusted return that meets our objectives. Our investments and developments are founded on prudent analysis of a property's current or future cash flow potential. By properly assessing current and future yields, and analyzing and properly allocating risk, we are able to obtain better than average investment results for most of our projects.
Performing Detailed Analysis
Our team of professionals has a deep understanding of the macro- and micro-economic trends that contribute to the national and local real estate markets. We analyze each investment opportunity in light of that understanding and seek out the maximum benefit which may not always be apparent to other investors.
UNITED REALTY TACTICS: Executing Opportunistic Value Enhancing Strategies
United Realty seeks to generate both income and value enhancement by executing on a dual investment strategy. United Realty achieves its goals through their proprietary, multi-product investment platform which serves as the basis for income generation, principal protection and wealth creation for today's real estate investors. United Realty is led by Jacob A. Frydman, a veteran real estate investor with over 30 years of experience. Jacob, has invested in or advised on over $2 billion in real estate transactions. Mr. Frydman is supported by a seasoned team of executive real estate professionals with over 150 years of combined operating history and extensive knowledge and expertise in commercial real estate.
Mr. Frydman has more than 30 years' experience in developing and investing in real estate, including value-added real estate assets, as well as in infrastructure and other business transactions. Mr. Frydman has developed numerous properties from Florida to New York. Notable transactions by Mr. Frydman include: developing Two Dag Hammerskjöld Plaza, an office condominium tower in midtown Manhattan used by foreign governments for their missions to the United Nations; redeveloping the Aetna Building in lower Manhattan's financial district; acquiring the unfinished Global Crossing New York headquarters in 2003 from Goldman Sachs, which Mr. Frydman successfully repositioned for adaptive re-use as a mixed-use development and sold in 2005; purchasing the NBC New York television studios in 2000 from NBC's parent, General Electric, and entering into a production arrangement with Procter & Gamble where he produced the day time drama As The World Turns from 1999 to 2010; and acquiring 500 Tenth Avenue in Manhattan, which Mr. Frydman and his partners re-developed into the DHL Center which they still own.
Jake, as some of his friend call him, believes in "smart growth" and strives to make his projects environmentally sound. Mr. Frydman is a frequent guest on national television, including CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg TV, where he speaks on trends in real estate. Mr. Frydman is a graduate of Boston University (B.S., Finance) and Case Western Reserve University School of Law (Juris Doctor).
United Realty looks to identify opportunistic real estate investments, develop creative strategies for adding value and effectively executing those strategies to generate exceptional returns while providing consistent, stable cash-flow.
In April of 2014 United Realty the launched the United Realty/Zogby Real Estate Confidence Index, a new quarterly Index that will provide unique and valuable market data on trends in commercial real estate. With its focus on commercial real estate, the United Realty/Zogby Real Estate Confidence Index is like no other in the marketplace. By distilling the pulse of institutional and elite real estate investors into a unified report of trends and outlooks, the Index will help investors make better-informed decisions regarding both their current property holdings and future investment/disposition opportunities.
The Index, which is published quarterly provides:
- Current and forward looking investor sentiment
- Specific commercial real estate sector capitalization rate trends
- Geographic commercial real estate investment trends
- Current and forward looking acquisition and disposition activity
The United Realty/Zogby Real Estate Confidence Index, which takes its place alongside other broadly followed important quarterly economic indicators, was developed and compiled by United Realty Group in conjunction with the world-renowned Zogby Analytics organization. We believe that this groundbreaking quarterly Index will become an invaluable part of your business tool mix for assessing current and future investment/disposition opportunities.

Wow. The Stretch & Bobbito reunion, two nights ago at Le Poisson Rouge, still has my head buggin' (and apparently everyone else who was there are with me on that, as people are still talking about it 3 days later). Not only was it amazing/magical to see the duo (plus Sear) together again, as well as the legends who came up to show their never ending support/gratitude through seemingly impromptu performances, but the crowd of like-minded people who gathered to say thanks as a community that shared the "89Tec9" era as a vital part of their respective up&comings was truly the cement keeping the night standing high with emotion and general good feeling. No doubt the lines were long (one being to MANDATORY coat check), but they were filled with constant exchanges of "what year did you start listening," favorite tape brands, preferred tape lengths (those 120's would pop on you quick if your box/walkman was on its last legs!), the gift of auto-reverse, your favorite demos/freestyles, etc. which then inevitably turned into nothing but laughter, daps, and unexpected generosity at "cash-only" points (a favor then returned two-fold at the bar inside).
It was also insanely good to see the huddles of old/new friends in the spot, and thinking about the microcosmic details ('96 indie rap vocab) of how said friends span such a wide spectrum of background, age, location, social circle, and era to that of my own life was even more mindfuckingly…pointless, but still, a good reminder of how important Stretch & Bob's radio presence was to us as a collective force. The duo took that torch from Mr. Magic, Marley, and Red Alert in the 90's, and thus, spearheaded a new movement of people who cared enough to obtain their hip hop in the most unadulterated form possible – staying up, setting alarms for a tape switch, or pestering the one cat who did any of the aforementioned before school/work on Friday was just a part of the process we've been taking pride in for years now.
Finally, it felt a lot like the first time I went to Wetlands in '96 (?). Just as it was back then, there was no breakwind stench of tactics to increase revenue for a parentally-handed ad network. No corny grocery list blog politics. Just the team who helped us achieve the most proper of hip hop supervision and the music by which we were supervised – from Hurricane G's demo banger, "Milky", and Big L & Jay-Z's freestyle over Milkbone's "Keep It Real", to Saukrates' "Father Time" and CNN's "T.O.N.Y." At the end, you were left stumbling into that cab at 4AM, smelling like an ashtray, ears still ringing with half-a-voice and ready to review your tape in the morning.
Of course the following footage (props to The 7th Boro) and these photos don't do the night a lick of justice, but it beats being left with only my words resonating.
Bonus…for a more comprehensive (i.e. no cut-offs), less crowd-immersed angle of the show, check the following Grand Good footy…including the late edition Natural Elements closer:
Editor's Note: I'm aware that this may sound a bit idealistic, but frankly, if you felt otherwise, you still have that underground elitist stick up your ass (ayo). Get laid cockhead (double ayo?).

death threats for smoking bar owners
rtl news says two brothers from groningen have gotten dozens of death threats for operating a bar where smoking is allowed. anti-smokers threatened to hang them and to set their café on fire. this is the first time i've heard of the anti-smoking frenzy going that far.
yesterday an ombudsman's report severely criticized the way gemeente amsterdam handled the september sinkings in vijzelgracht connected with the noord-zuidlijn stations construction.
the same day, the whole city archive building in köln catastrophically collapsed, and some suspect that is also in connection with new metro construction. two people are still missing in that disaster, as well as lots of irreplacable documents dating back as much as 1000 years.
new automobile sales are down by around 30 percent in NL this year compared to the same month last year. people are talking like that's a bad thing, i guess because it's bad for the auto makers and their employees. why the auto makers didn't already start switching their business to something we need, i dunno.

text: Good morning. I wonder if anyone has had experience going through the appeal process with regards to querying your business rates valuation. We have recently received our valuation from the valuation office and it is much more than we think it should be. I have received the 'proposal' form to start the ball rolling to initiate a query. Before I proceed it would be helpful if anyone has any tips on the sort of information we need to provide to substantiate our case. Also is it likely to have any success or are we wasting our time? Any assistance would be appreciated. Many thanks Fleur

The post Fake J-Link JTAG pod torn down appeared first on superfro.]]>
So here's what you get. Pod, 20 pin cable, usb cable, and a cd.
Plugging it in.
On the CD, not sure how much good it does you unless you understand what it means.
Opening it up you can see a couple of parts:
AT91SAM764 – main arm processor
18.432mhz – crystal
AMS1117 – regulator
ALVC164245 x 2 – Level shifter + buffer
Also you see what a pretty ugly mess it is inside, there's some left over flux or schmutz all over the board around the cpu.
Now I need to dig around my desk and find something to poke at, and see if it works. It enumerates, so that's a start.

The post And a printing we will go… appeared first on superfro.]]>
Next I got the Helios heated bed mounted. The parts from panucatt shipped with some good insulation to stick underneath of it. So did that part.
Then I cut some glass, I found a glass cutter and a sheet of replacement glass for picture frame. Cut it down to about 8×8. This was my first time cutting glass so I'll most likely buy another one and do it again, as I cut it a little too short. After I was done cutting I sanded the edges with sandpaper just to keep myself from bleeding all over the place.
I know everyone loves binder clips, but this is all I had, so I'm using these clips for now until I get some binder clips. The binder clips don't stick out as much so I do want to do that. Here's the board mounted.
At this point I mounted all the limit switches and wired them up. It appears to me most people building these mount the z home switch towards the bed. I feel like that is an odd thing to do, because you will constantly have to tweak that so people make a mount with a screw so they can finely dial it in. I remember using the Makerbot Thing-O-Matic and it homed it's z on the limit then in software knew its height and could be set via software. So I went that route. I mounted the Z on the limit, then I set the height via repeteir and it knows where 0 is based off of that. This way I can tune it into fractions to get the z where I want without physically tweaking something.
From there it's just twist more wires, and fire it up. I'm actually amazed at how long the bed takes to heat up. I have the thermistor snugly against the glass in the center so I'm reading the glass temp. But it takes quite awhile to warm up. I think I'm going to throw down some transistor grease between the glass and the bed to see if that improves. For now we will go with it.
There it is folks. The first print. Obviously I didn't set my extrusion rate properly. So cancel that. And lets try again.
And boom. Now that's a pretty print. Yeah I know it's lopsided. That was because I actually didn't tighten the belts before I started. So I was tightening them while it was printing. Otherwise it's a great looking print for #2.
Now that everything is working properly, it's time to fix the wires, and then I can go back to dialing in that picture perfect print.

The post Ok, I give up on the QU-BD extruder's … appeared first on superfro.]]>
In this effort I was previously attempting to run a dual QU-BD setup. Someone asked me why I chose to go QU-BD despite all the terrible reviews. Well I had a chance to think about it. The QU-BD was built off of a Makerbot reference design, and the version I bought was version 9. My theory was that a) they've probably worked out the bugs by now. and b) people on the internet like to complain.
Well I was wrong. After spending countless hours fiddling with it, I just can't seem to get it to extrude consistently (I'm not even trying to print with it at this point, just extrude right). I've spent so many hours tweaking this thing that I just need to throw it out of the window. Now I have read tons of fixes for it, people making parts like spring loaded tensioners, etc. I'm just going to scrap it for parts and get something that works.
So what to get ? First off, I've heard so much good praise about the J-Head hot end. So I went to order a one from hotends.com but he was out of stock. So I ordered one off of ebay only to read a review afterwards about sub-par quality of the chinese J-Head clones. So while I was waiting on my J-Head to ship from china, I checked hotends.com again and they were in stock! So I ordered one from hotends.com and it actually arrived before the one from china.
For an extruder I bought the EZStruder from seemecnc.com. Again I've heard good things about it.
Looking a the quality of the EZStruder, the molded plastic parts looked like the were going to work perfectly. Everything was just the right fit and tolerance.s, and it fits perfectly to a J-Head nozzle. I stole the stepper off of one of my QU-BD extruders instead of buying a new one. Also I decided to just focus on a single head design and when everything is happy I'll order another EZStruder and see about getting the chinese J-Head working with it in a dual design. For now I want to just get the ball rolling.
So now the J-Head shipped with a power resistor to heat it. I actually have a heater cartridge I got off ebay that I think looks nicer, plus it means I don't need to find any high temp wire to hook up to it. So I went with the heater cartridge.
The only issue I had with the heater cartridge is it doesn't seem to fit real snug. The QU-BD design had a screw tensioner you could put on the cartridge to make it a nice snug fit. The J-Head site recommends using some compound for like muffler holes. I decided to improvise by pulling tiny strands of stranded wire through with it to give it a nice snug fit.
To mount it, I found a bracket made by bwevans on the ord-bot forums (link here). I printed it out on an old thing-o-matic at my hackerspace. The bracket fit nice, it uses holes already there for the belt attachment and I just had to find some screws that fit.
Some other pics are posted below. So far I can tell you this setup works perfectly. Everything fits together real nice, the filament is nice and sturdy and it seems to be able to extrude really fast and hasn't slipped once.

The post Finally some Ord Bot progress appeared first on superfro.]]>
First of all let me explain something. Aside from the hardon platform, I really didn't want to follow any templates. I just figured I'd order a bunch of parts and figure things out as I go. If I wanted instructions to put X in Y I would have bought a full kit.
With that out of the way — I decided to start mounting the electronics. I played with the idea of putting the power supply under the platform. I think that for weight distribution it would be nice under there. I don't remember exactly (as I'm playing catch up with posts at the moment) but I decided not to.
So second choice is to mount the power supply to the main brace with the handle. Which conveniently has lots of mounting holes in it already. Again weight distribution in mind, it should lay flat, but that would have taken all my real estate for mounting stuff to it. So I ended up mounting the power supply vertical and using it as a shelf for my controller. I figured why not.
I started out with some acrylic I had laying around and drilled some holes to mount some standoffs from the power supply. Then I did some more standoffs for the actual Azteeg X3 controller. Finally, I think I had to drill 1 hole to mount the power supply to the board (I re-used one existing hole).
I'm actually happy with the way it turned out. It does make the back end a little heavy but I don't think it will affect anything much.
For now I'm just twisting and taping the wiring so I can get a feel for how long things need to be and mounting. I've actually made more progress, but I wanted to break each part up in sections.

The post Setting up HackRF in Windows with SDR# appeared first on superfro.]]>
With the latest releases of SDR# and everyone getting their HackRF One's from kickstarter, it appears this article is out of date. I haven't tested it but some chatter on the HackRF mailing list say that you should still grab the SDR# Nightly build, but there is no need to download the hackrf dll's or editing the config file. It should just work after that. So it's a little simpler now.
I already got my HackRF working in linux with GNU Radio, but I dual boot my laptop into windows too and sometimes its nice to have access to other programs anyway. Besides, I can't seem to get it working inside a linux VM while in windows (Keep getting libusb IO errors, puuuh!). So on with it.
First thing we need is a driver. Grab the latest Zadig, I'm using 188.8.131.52. Un-7zip the file, run the installer and select your HackRF device to install the usb driver.
Grab the latest _DEV_ version of SDR# here. As of writing this I'm using 1135.
Unzip SDR# to your drive under your favorite naming convention (i.e. c:\sdrsharp)
Next grab a copy of the HackRF plugin from Zefie's site. Here is a link to v1.3 which is what I used.
Extract the HackRF plugin to your sdrsharp directory (i.e. c:\sdrsharp)
Open up SDRSharp.exe.Config and find the line "<frontendPlugins>", and add
<add key="HackRF / USB" value="SDRSharp.HackRF.HackRFIO,SDRSharp.HackRF" />
preferably directly after "<frontendPlugins>"
Save and close SDRSharp.exe.Config.
Grab a copy of hackrf-tools for windows here generously compiled by Zefie again. Extract this somewhere, you might need this. How about c:\sdrsharp\hackrf-tools. Copy libhackrf.dll and pthreadVC2.dll from hackrf-tools 32 bit dir to the sdrsharp directory.
Finally you may need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable package. I didn't because I already had it, but in case you don't have it you can grab it here.
That should be all you need to get up and running. I did notice some issues like my feed would stop every once in awhile, I just did a stop then start in SDR# and it got going again. This is probably due to the fact everything is beta
Happy SDRing.

The post Fun with Le Strum appeared first on superfro.]]>
So what is Le Strum ? It's a midi controller that generates notes by strumming. So what do you get in the kit ? Well a PCB board, a ton of buttons, a few ic's and passives… etc. Everything needed to put the kit together.
First thing to notice here, is there is a _lot_ of soldering to do. All the resistors, diodes, and buttons oh my! The instructions are pretty straight forward, hosted on github, no complications, put the resistors in, the diodes, caps, buttons, solder it all…. Assemble the strumming probe, power it on and rock out!
Don't forget to attach the legs in the correct order, I had the long and the short ones offset at first and it was odd… but that was quickly fixed.
So powering it on for the first time. Everything looked like it could work — but I couldn't get any audio out of it. I was using a USB-to-MIDI adapter and trying to get some music into Fruity Loops Studio but I wasn't getting any midi notes.
I started diagnosing the problem fearing i would have to disassemble the entire thing. I grabbed an LED and shoved it into pins 4 and 5 in the midi port and verified there was some data being clocked out (despite there being a midi led on the board… I wasn't sure if the led was wired to the actual traffic or just a gpio on the pic). So I had data clocking out but my USB-to-MIDI adapter (which I've used in the past) just wasn't happy.
So I ended up hooking the Le Strum up to my MIDI controlled YM2149 that is technically still in beta. Surprisingly it worked fine with my board. So it may be a cheap USB-to-MIDI adpater being picky about signal quality or clock skew. Good thing the kit comes with the quick reference card it was a timesaver. My YM board didn't like the default setting of being on note-off but changing it to note-on and in 2 channel organ + strum mode it sounded awesome. Here's a video of me strumming some chiptunes!
So in closing, awesome kit. My only concern is the incompatibility with my cheap usb to midi adapter. Makes me wonder if other equipment will have the same issue. My next issue is the longevity of the strum pads, I feel they are going to wear out pretty soon and I'm very temped to just blob them with solder to keep them from wearing out. Here's a closer up picture of the pads, they are just like large pcb pads — I guess we will have to see!

He's pretty amp'd up about putting this together.
Tools? Check.
The instructions were pretty loose, just kinda slap it together. The parts were very forgiving allowing for lots of tolerance. (Build photos in the gallery below) About 15 minutes later we were ready for our maiden voyage.
Here's the bot's maiden voyage.
After a little tweaking it goes more straight. The kid will end up destroying it within 48 hours so I'm not too worried about it.

Political Wisdom: Becoming the Alternative to Mitt Romney
The Republican presidential debate at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nev., has prompted pundits to assess the GOP field and ponder what it will take to become the alternative to Mitt Romney.
Will former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain's campaign implode? Will Texas Gov. Rick Perry rebound? Will former House Speak Newt Gingrich surge? Will former ambassador Jon Huntsman regret his decision to skip the Las Vegas debate?
Reid J. Epstein at Politico believes Mr. Cain will likely be bombarded with questions aimed at determining how serious he really is about becoming the GOP presidential nominee.
Very little in recent days suggests Cain is adequately prepared for the coming test on his understanding of foreign policy, on his advisers and the origin of his most provocative ideas and, not to put too fine a point on it, on whether he has a factual command of issues equal to what would be expected of the typical congressional candidate. …
The test Cain is facing is not about gray matter. Cain is a quick-witted, commanding presence on the debate stage, and he never faced doubts about his intelligence while serving as CEO of Godfather's Pizza or the head of the national restaurant industry's trade association.
But successfully running the policy gauntlet at a presidential level is less an aptitude test than an organizational feat. Most candidates who become nominees have an infrastructure of paid and outside advisers, who can help a candidate bluster his or her way through, say, a question that touches on the United States' "three no's" in the Taiwan Strait — a subject that, as president, could spark an international incident if someone screwed up the answer.
At the National Journal, Charlie Cook says Mr. Perry needs to do more than simply survive the debate.
Perry's reported third-quarter haul of $17 million is impressive, but his poll numbers are in free fall and his organization isn't even remotely comparable to that of the GOP front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Such poll hemorrhaging can only hinder future fundraising and organizational efforts in key early states. Enticing local activists or new donors to climb aboard what appears to be a sinking ship is a pretty tough sell. If Perry doesn't step up his game and quell growing reservations about him, his days as a real contender—if any still remain—may soon be over.
Two things are becoming clear: Romney is emerging as the clear front-runner, but an "anybody but Romney" resistance will coalesce behind either Cain or Perry. What is no longer clear is whether Perry will be the last guy standing against Romney.
Howard Kurtz at the Daily Beast writes that the debate may be a boost for Mr. Gingrich, who climbed to the No. 3 spot in the latest Public Policy Polling survey.
He can still come off like a windbag with a know-it-all air. But he has held his own on the debate stage and will have another opportunity to score in the Vegas faceoff being moderated by Anderson Cooper.
Still, the race is essentially coming down to Romney and a yet-to-be-determined conservative alternative, a role previously occupied by Michele Bachmann and Perry before the unlikely rise of Cain. So in a contest this volatile, could Gingrich still seize his moment in the spotlight? …
Unlike the governors and ex-governors seeking the nomination, Gingrich has been thinking seriously about national issues for a quarter-century. Unlike Cain, who in recent interviews offered no plan on Afghanistan, was unfamiliar with the Palestinian "right of return" issue, and had trouble pronouncing Uzbekistan, Gingrich has been dealing with foreign policy since the Reagan administration.
Nia-Malika Henderson at the Washington Post explains Mr. Huntsman's decision to boycott tonight's debate, opting instead to campaign in New Hampshire.
Huntsman doesn't really have a choice but to stick all of his apples in the New Hampshire basket.
If he loses badly in the first-in-the-nation primary, where he reached 10 percent in one recent poll and where he moved his campaign headquarters, his struggling GOP presidential candidacy would likely end.

A father-of-three from Beverley is not prepared to give up smoking cannabis - despite being offered help from The Probation Service.
Bryan Wilson, 32, of Brewery House Mews, has been a cannabis user since he was 17 and has previous convictions for drug offences, Beverley Magistrates heard
His latest offence was the possession a small amount of the drug which came to the attention of the police in April this year when they smelled it during a visit to his home, said Andrew Stirling, prosecuting.
He said: "The defendant said the drug was for his own use and that he had paid £20 for it. He said he used cannabis on a regular basis."
Mitigating, John Seagrave said Wilson had been a cannabis user since he was 17 but that he was trying to cut down his usage.
He said: "He is certainly using a lot less than he did a couple of years ago."
The court heard that Wilson was already the subject of a community order with supervision through which he had been assessed for drug rehabilitation treatment.
But a representative from The Probation Service told the court that Wilson was unsuitable for this because he had no intention of giving up cannabis.
Chairman of the bench, Mr N. Potts told Wilson: "It's a pity you're not engaging and reducing rather than insisting you are going to carry on."
The defendant replied: "I've reduced compared to what I was smoking!"
"Well if you stay on that plain maybe that is the answer," said Mr Potts.
The court heard that Wilson was due to receive appointments with a psychologist because of problems with his mental health.
He does not live with his children but has supervised contact with them.
Wilson, who pleaded guilty to possessing a controlled drug, was handed a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Just got to watch the Combat Aikido series by DeLucia. Very impressive. His techniques are good legitimate Aikido, well explained. His conceptualization and strategy is sound. His application is innovative. Photography is great. The techniques he uses in most of the randori sparring is Aikido or the application of Aikido (blend and take balance) concepts. Very pleasant personable presentation.
A plus or minus is the minimal use of the traditional labels.
I personally, IMHO, question the label of "combat" Aikido. It is definetly Aikido well done. Since he goes for "submission" rather "kill", I simply question the packaging. It is competitive in the full contact resistance sense.
A nice package. My compliments and appreciation. There is, IMHO, something to offer here. I will watch it more and incorporate some into my training. If I get his way, I will certainly stop by.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
I'd like to see it sometime - Mr. DeLucia has certainly generated some controversy in the aikido world - or at least on Aikiweb. This is to my mind a very good thing - it means he's thinking, learning, exploring for himself; just 'doing what evererone else does' is boring. ;)
I agree with your assesment of 'combat' aikido though. I've mentioned this before; and if Jason is reading this; I'd like to make the point directly to him.
The word 'Combat' is advertising; nothing more. False advertising, at that. There are those of us that have seen real-life combat; with all the blood, pain, death and ongoing emotional trauma that combat inflicts. No-one in his right mind would ever advertise a 'combat' system if he knew what combat really was. From a personal standpoint; I find the casual use of the word rather insulting.
Jason's teaching is from what little I've seen excellent - he doesn't need to resort to such stupid tough-guy posturing.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Not sure I would agree that Combat means advertising.
In fact I probably wouldn't. 'Super' or 'deadly' or 'street' or 'american' would be advertising. These words are aimed at the person and are not descriptive. Combat is generally descriptive of his form of Aikido.
Not sure you can take personal offence at it either, it's not like he is calling it holocaust aikido or ku klux klan aikido.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
The word "combat" doesn't only mean "a fight to the death" or "a fight in war" or "a fight with deadly weapons." Webster's Unabridged's first definition doesn't even get there til the end:
I think Jason DeLucia's point, as he's told me and I've heard him tell others, is that he steps into the ring every time knowing he could get killed or seriously and permanently injured; but that these are the techniques he relies on. He takes this stuff very seriously.
I, for one, am sorry that some of you who have lived through life-and-death combat don't like his use of the term; but I hope you can see that in no way did he mean to be disrespectful.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Yeah; me too I guess. It's just that I hear the word used too casually too often. Real-life combat is utter savegery. There are no rules, no codes, no honour or achievement. Just kill him. As fast as possible and hopefully as unfairly as possible, from behind if you can, don't give him a chance just kill him. There is no gun movie or slasher flick that even comes close to the horror of the real thing when it gets close and personal. If you win; the trophy is you get to live a bit longer - maybe seconds - nothing else. That's what close combat is. Hey; all power to NHB competition; it's a great venue and I really admire those who excel in it and my admiration truly extends to Mr. DeLucia. But if he thinks the Octagon's combat he's living in a dream world and I don't give a rat's a$$ what the dictionary says.
Sorry if that sounds harsh. MY memories are still too recent to have mellowed. I realize I'm in the minority and these are my opinions only and therefore worthless, but competition and combat are not the same thing; and I still say calling what he does 'combat' demeans Jason's excellent art.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Hmmm. If the word 'combat' has more painful meanings for others than it does to me (to me it's just a word) then I certainly meant no offence, Dave. :)
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Let's not get off on this one-word semantic thing and take away from a great set of instructional DVDs.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
As an infantrymen, I certainly share and understand Dave's position. I too am somewhat sensitive to the use/misuse of the word "combat". Not from a personal standpoint, but from the inferred meaning that it represents.
I can understand the paradigm that Mr Delucia is creating through the use of the word and have no problem with it.
Where the use of the word becomes a sore point with me, and I believe with Dave, is the way it is used by many. I am always posting on aikiweb in response to people who talk about something being "combat effective". I always ask, "what do you mean by that?"
The point is that most people I believe are trying to make is "economy" or efficient. To me "combat effective" means as how Dave defines it. No rules, someone dies. It is not pretty, nor does it necessarily follow rules of ettiquette as is observed in budo.
We all like to think that we the empty hand arts we study make us "combat effecitve", but the truth of the matter is, there is much more to being "combat effective" than studying empty hand arts.
The point is, I think you really need to think on a personal level about the words we use, and the meanings, and emotions they create inside of us. To me, the words "combat effective" used in empty hand arts/budo/or aikido, lure us into a false set of emotions that have nothing really to do with budo, or being combat effective.
enough on my ramblings!
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
But hey, no one asked me.
Now, back to the content of the series please.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Sorry for that Lynn!
I suppose I should contribute something worthwhile that is related to the thread.
It is encouraging to hear positive things about the video. I hope to order one soon.
As newcomer to MMA, I have been exploring how you incorporate the Aiki principles and paradigm in the MMA context. It sounds like Mr Delucia may have some of the answers. I look forward to revieiwng it.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
I completely agree with Dave. Combat is about obfuscating human beings into objects to be destroyed at the first sign of danger. Modern combat merely involves invoking machines which blow bodies apart. Although I certainly do not begrudge Jason his chance to explore new and interesting ways to apply Aikido, I feel that intending to use Aikido for combat is like pouring A1 Steak Sauce on the Hope Diamond.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Yeah; but let's follow Lynn's advice. This thread is about the video series. I was wrong to hijack it with my complaint regarding the word; if we wish to start a new thread for that we can.
From what little I've seen the video package is excellent and I'd really like to see more of it. :)
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
I´d say, if one uses the term "Combat Aikido" in the sense of "doing Aikido as combat" , there would be good reason to object. If one uses the term in the sense of "Aikido applicable in a combat situation", it´s different, because it could mean to strive for the martial art seriously, and to try to make Aikido work in the most extreme and difficult situations. I presume that might have been the intention.
Of course a soldier can´t do Aikido, as he does not really have the choice to deal the conflict the way he might wish. So the term "Combat Aikido" does certainly not fit for a military context. And of course Aikido does not work for bombs.
(Just my 2c, though, Lynn and Dave, I do share your experiences, and neither envy you for it)
Actually, I saw the videos offered, and thougth: "COMBAT Aikido, that can´t be more than crap." because it looked like boasting and marketing. Interestig to hear there´s something to it. Thanks for your post, Lynn.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
At other times, during cordon and search missions, MPs or Infantry guys would be detaining suspected terrorists or insugents and Aikido techniques are very applicable. The capture of some individuals is worth much more than their death.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
My intention was not to devalue any individual's combat experience by portraying that individual as merely invoking machinery to heartlessly destroy the enemy. Invoking this machinery is not really the role of the individual soldier (modern artillery accomplishes more destruction during every day of a modern conflict than infantrymen could accomplish in a month). I must insist, however, that everyone who has experience with a modern battle rifle (or even handgun) knows that such a tool certainly endows its possessor with the capacity to destroy relatively numerous lives without even breaking a sweat.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Feel free to correct me.
Whilst my sympathies lie with *everyone* who dies and suffers in conflict, don't be so quick to presume the moral high ground from which you take offence so easily. Feelings are strong on this subject so it's probably best for everyone to act with civility.
Enough thread drift.
Re: Jason DeLucia's Combat Aikido Series
Mark, I do not make any assumptions about whether you agree or disagree with the war. I also don't dispute the use of increased technology such as UAVs. What I disputed was the implication that war was strickly machines. When we dehumanize war we lose perspective of just how horrific it can be. Whether you are for or against the U.S. action in Iraq, the fact is there is a very human face on the conflict. My morale high ground was for the individual on the ground, not the political process that put them there.
Benjamin, Thank you for the clarification. You are correct, the tools today definitely change how combat is fought. With that said, I also believe there are many levels of combat including conflicts dubbed OOTW (operations other than war) where safeguarding persons and property is in order. Police officers experience combat on a different level than soldiers and I think Jason's video series can benefit on that level.

It feels like an age ago now but Russ and I just got back from our first family holiday. We took the twins to Spain for 2 weeks and it was wonderful. The weather was gorgeous so the boys spent most of their time just in their nappies which they love (they have a real aversion to getting dressed) They had just started on solids before we left, so we had lots of fun trying out different foods, it turns out they have expensive taste, avocado and mangoes being 2 of their favourite (cheap in Spain but not so cheap or delicious here) They had their first dip in a pool, sand in their mouths at the beach, Ellis learnt to roll and Sam to sit and they both got their first bottom 2 teeth.
The best bit for me was having Russ there all day everyday it made life so much easier, 2 pairs of hands for 2 babies is just right! We did manage to squeeze in a little bit of time for our selves, as soon as the boys went down for their lunch time nap we jumped in the pool, madly swam a few lengths, grabbed our books, lay in the sun and then ate a delicious lunch that we had sensibly prepared earlier, all in all it was a huge success.
Here's a little photo story of Ellis's reaction to Raspberries.
"hhhmmmmmm do I like raspberries?"
"I think Sam likes raspberries?"
"I do like raspberries, very much
"I will try one"
"hhmmmmmmm not quite sure?"
"I wonder if Ellis is liking his raspberry?"
"I think................."
"I think I like them very much"
"Ellis this is also called a raspberry"
"Sam it is no laughing matter, I am now very seriously into raspberries"

About Future Mom
This blog began during the first trimester of my first pregnancy. The intention was to research different baby products and styles of parenting and share my findings with others who may be interested in benefiting from my legwork. Mostly, it was to occupy my mind with something productive, instead of worrying about different aspects of my changing life—something pro-active to fill those months of waiting and guessing.
Towards the end of my pregnancy, I was busy moving into a new house in a new city—a fixer-upper that required quite a great deal of my time and energy to prepare for our impending new arrival. Progress on the blog came to a standstill and the entire project was nearly forgotten.
In December of 2009, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He is seven and a half months old now at the time of this entry (August 2010). I feel its time to resurrect this blog in order to share what I have learned. So much of what I read on the Internet, in pregnancy and parenting books and not to mention the information and advice I receive from other parents seems biased and incomplete. Very often, there seems to be a sanctimonious attitude towards parenting these days that I find to be disturbing at times: that there is one right way to do something and those who disagree are bad parents. Every parent has different opinions and attitudes towards what is best for their child. And every child has unique needs.
Since becoming a mother: I've been scolded for using a pacifier, lectured on why sleep-training is the only way, been advised not to use anything but organic cotton… I try my best to not take it personally. Most people with this kind of advice only intend to help, even if it comes out a little differently. Often much of the advice I receive or information I gather from articles, later proves to be completely without any basis in fact once I have done further research on the subject. My aim with Future-Mom.com is to try to present various matters of parenthood fairly and in an educated matter, without judgement on anyone else's styles of responsible parenting. Sure, this blog will be riddled with opinions and examples of personal experience; however I hope to present such examples as just that—and not attempt to disguise my opinions as incontrovertible fact. I hope to enlighten and not discourage. And to explore how different styles benefit in different ways.
If anyone reads anything that they find disrespecting of any of their methods or beliefs; I encourage you to write a comment and share your thoughts. When you do so, please try to include references for such information (links to: scientific data, consumer reports or at the very least an example of personal experience). The purpose of this forum is to educate, not spread propaganda, judgements or misguided "information". And I would be eternally grateful and willing to publish any expert advice as an article, from reputable sources. If you are a professional in any field related to matters of concern on this blog, please contact me if you would like to share your knowledge. I am not an expert, just a mother who cares and I appreciate all the help I can get and want to help other parents.
While I started this blog in my pregnancy and titled it Future-Mom because I was a mother to be, its meaning has evolved to represent modernity. With today's new findings and an upswing in our society's concern for the health and well-being of our children and our environment, teamed with better access to an enormous amount of information on the Internet, the future is ours to prepare for our offspring. We are equipped to make an impact. Each of us owe it to our children and future generations to do the best we can to cultivate and encourage young minds, exceptional values, excellent health, an effective system of education and to protect our environment. Yes, it can certainly be an overwhelming undertaking when you think of the responsibility of parenthood in such broad terms. I find there is an inspiring trend towards this style of parenthood, one of making the world a better place for our children and theirs alike. Collectively, with the proper tools, we can achieve this. We are the moms of the future.
Thank you for visiting.
Yours truly,
Future Mom

Afghan knitting - needle size help
Hi, I'm fairly new to knitting and am trying to plan my first afghan. I have gotten the Lion Brand Homespun yarn and want to knit with two strands of this together as one. I have circular needles in size 15, 17 and 19. I did up some swatches and find that the knitting on size 19's is much too loose for what I like.
What I am wondering is... are there guidelines out there somewhere regarding what size needle to use when knitting with two strands of bulky yarn? I want the blanket to be warm for sitting on the couch, but not too heavy/hot so that it won't get used. I guess I'm having a hard time judging what a whole blanket will look like based on a 4x4 square. Any tips are appreciated!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - From city to country, some Kentuckians
expressed relief that the U.S. Supreme Court defended their right
to own guns in a ruling coming one day after a deadly shooting
spree in Henderson.
"I think it's a human right to own a gun," said J.B. Schinault
in voicing full approval for the high court ruling Thursday that
stated Americans can keep guns at home for self-defense.
The ruling, striking down the District of Columbia's ban on
handguns, came a day after a plastics plant worker in Henderson
opened fire during an overnight shift, killing five co-workers and
then himself.
Police said Wesley N. Higdon shot his supervisor outside the
plant, then went inside and kept shooting.
Schinault, who works at Sportsman's Corner in Henderson, said he
didn't think the shooting rampage would sour attitudes about gun
ownership in the western Kentucky city.
"It's a tragedy that happened," he said. "But as far as
changing people's way of thinking about gun ownership, I don't
think it will have any affect at all."

About the Book
Another high-society thriller from New York Times bestselling author Jane Stanton Hitchcock, Trick of the Eye is a tale of art, intrigue, and murder in a world where evil tarnishes privilege and nothing is what it appears to be.
Trompe l'oeil artist Faith Cromwell is hired to paint the famed ballroom of an opulent Long Island estate, but her patron is obsessed with the long-unsolved murder of a daughter, and soon Faith begins to piece together the details of the grisly, shocking crime.
The deeper Faith delves into the house's mystery, the more she realizes that she has inadvertently stepped into the starring role of a bizarre, and quite possibly fatal, charade.
Like Social Crimes and One Dangerous Lady, Trick of the Eye is another highly sophisticated and deeply compelling mystery from master writer Jane Stanton Hitchcock.
For artist Faith Cromwell, it is the commission of a lifetime: painting the famed ballroom of an opulent Long Island estate. But her new patron has a macabre fixation on the daughter who was brutally murdered in the house a decade earlier—one so intense that it jeopardizes Faith's own sense of mind. And as she pieces together the details of the grisly crime scene that shadows the house, Faith slowly discovers that she herself plays the starring role in a bizarre and dangerous charade.
Sophisticated and chilling, Trick of the Eye explores a world where evil tarnishes privilege, and nothing is what it appears to be.

Can a Hebrew Charter School Teach the Language but Not the Faith?
WASHINGTON — What's one way to ensure that a new Hebrew-immersion public charter school isn't a Jewish school? Hire a priest to run it.
Sela, which means "rock" or "foundation" in Hebrew, opens in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 19. As a public school, Sela may not teach or show preference to any religion. But the intimate connection between Hebrew and Judaism makes some people wonder whether the separation is truly possible.
The question is not just for Sela, but for the dozen or so other public Hebrew charter schools from Brooklyn, N.Y., to San Diego that have started since the first one opened in Florida in 2007. And more Hebrew language charters are in the design stage.
Making things even more complicated is Hebrew's ties not only to Judaism but to Israel. When the Sela staff began naming classrooms for major cities in Israel this summer, the school's executive director, Jason Lody, said there would be no class named after the disputed capital of Jerusalem.
"We want to be a public school of excellence," Lody said. "We don't want to be sidetracked by political conversations that don't focus on getting our 4-year-olds ready for kindergarten."

Annual Complaints report
Each year the Borough Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviews the handling of complaints under the Council's formalised complaints procedure. A copy of the report is shown below, and can be downloaded.
To set these complaints in context, it should be explained that where an issue is brought to the Council's attention for the first time (for example, a missed bin) that is dealt with as a request for action, and is not processed as a formal complaint. However, the Council's response, or lack of response, to that first time notification might lead to a complaint if the customer were still dissatisfied.
In addition to this the Local Government Ombudsman produce annual statistics covering all local authorities, which is available to download on their website.

The Trailblazerby Daniel Jeyaraj | Issue 87
IT WAS JULY 1706. The people of Tranquebar, a small Danish trading station on the Coromandel Coast in southeastern India (modern-day Tamil Nadu), rejoiced to see the Danish ship Sophia anchoring in the deep waters. Tamil boatmen rushed to offload the cargo. The captain who oversaw the transfer of goods became impatient and mercilessly whipped the boatmen. But one of the passengers on the ship, a 23-year-old German missionary, objected, "Do not whip! They are people." To this the captain replied, "No, they are Malabarians [i.e., 'beasts']."...Read More
