|The occurrence of periodic changes in the length of the internodes of the seedlings of SE Asian mangrove species (Rhizophora apiculata, Avicennia alba, and Sonneratia caseolaris) growing in the Pak Phanang estuary (Nakhon Si Thammarat, SE Thailand) was confirmed. The annual nature of these periodic changes was verified through comparisons with the observed average number of internodes produced by plants tagged for one year. The cycles in the sequence of internodal length of the seedlings had an average (± SE) period of 16.0 ± 0.78 internodes for Avicennia alba, 25.0 ± 1.2 internodes for Sonneratia caseolaris, and 8.29 ± 0.40 internodes for Rhizophora apiculata. These values are remarkably close to, and not significantly different (ttest, P > 0.05) from the average (± SE) annual number of internodes of 17.6 ± 0.8 for Avicennia alba, 28.8 ± 2.1 for Sonneratia caseolaris, and 8.03 ± 0.36 for Rhizophora apiculata produced in a year by tagged plants. In addition, the average (± SE) growth of the tagged plants was 0.39 ± 0.018cm day-1 for Avicennia alba, 0.24 ± 0.015cm day-1 for Sonneratia caseolaris, and 0.091 ± 0.0036cm day-1 for Rhizophora apiculata. These estimates were very close to those (0.45 ± 0.06cm day-1 for Avicennia alba, 0.32 ± 0.01cm day-1 for Sonneratia caseolaris, and 0.13 ± 0.005cm day-1 for Rhizophora apiculata) derived as the product of the mean number of internodes produced per day, calculated from the inferred number of internodes produced per year, and the mean length of the internodes of the plants. These findings indicate that the use of regular, annual changes in the length of the internodes of mangrove seedlings can be used reliably to determine their age and to estimate their growth rate.

Hello guys! I began trying to make a little side cash online and joined Warrior Forum back in 2011. In 2012 I was making Adsense Micro Niche sites and also Amazon sites, always focusing on keywords that I could grab an open .com domain name for. I had many flops, but did have an amazon site that did well and make me about $100 a month on average. I got excited and began writing more and more articles, creating more and more sites. Eventually my marriage hit a rough spot because my wife was upset I spent way to much time on the computer so I walked away from the micro niche site world... Fast forward 4 years, the marriage didnt work out anyway and I wish that I would have never left, I now feel like I have so much to learn all over again! Are Amazon sites still a decent way to go? I woulnt ask for anything to be spoon fed to me I know that is a huge pet peeve for many forum members, but any suggestions or just pointing in a general direction would be greatly appreciated!
Hi warriors, I like 'BLOGGING' very much because it enables me to share my thoughts with the rest of the world who may relate to what I write about,
Can you do a no-index, no follow tag targeting 1 country? Like say you wanted your site not to be indexed only in Japan or something like that, (that's just an example). Is there a tag that's not so generalized? Can it be country specific, or is it all or nothing?
And which are the best in your experience? Thanks.
Hi i have a question, i have created 4 web 2.0 back links in last month all the links indexed in google but the problem is these web 2.0 links not showing in google webmaster (link to your site section). please tell me whats the problem?

I wish there was a minus star on the above chart. What a rude and uncaring individual. Did not listen to a word I said, diagnosed me and then didn't treat me AT ALL. No Rx, nothing. Thinking about calling the AMA.
Great doctor however his staff is unprofessional and rude. One of the ladies in the front has a horrible attitude and hangs up whenever her unprofessional a** feels like it. If you don't want to be told off then DO YOUR JOB. When I called back to complian on her, I was asked not to return. Obviously the manager is not getting to the bottom of things (she never asked me what happened just told me not to return) because alot of other people are also complaining about the staff. So much for a manager over there. But I'm glad not to return, I will not pay to get that kind treatment.
Dr. Arauz-Pacheco was my fifth endocrinologist. The first three were total jerks. He is very kind and attentive. He practices general medicine still and looks at the whole person. That was a significant problem with my first three endos. He noticed a horrible skin disease on my arms. I'd already walked out on one dermatologist. He encouraged me to go to one he knew, which I did. Then, 10 days later I saw another derm at another med center whom I much preferred. Of course, Dr. A was thrilled that I actually found a derm with whom I could work. I see he has some complaints about his office staff. He was very seriously overloaded. He badly needed another doctor to help him. Finally, his old friend, Dr. Dan Lender, came into the practice to help him. I see Dr. L now, and he's absolutely terrific. They are the two non-dermatologists who have shown the most interest in my skin along with their terrain, my thyroid and diabetes.
Great knowledgeable doctor. Always professional. Office staff nice and helpful. I have recommended this doctor to others and they have been happy with him as well. I highly recommended this doctor and have been using him for 11 years. Started seeing him by Doctors Hospital until he opened the location in Rockwall and this is where I go now.
Doc is great. I had major issues with my thyroid and he worked hard to get me back on track. I would still be seeing him now, but I had more than enough of his office staff. They were horrible. I had insurance billing issues out the wazoo, because they continuously filed incorrectly. My prescriptions were never filled on time. My pharmacy would fax several requests only to get no response. At one point, this was so bad that I called my PCP and begged him to fill my script. I had issues getting appointments as well. Once, Dr. Arauz himself told me to schedule an appointment asap because I had become pregnant. His office staff did not see me until one month later. Doc found out and was surprised because he thought I had not done what I was told. Across the board, more trouble than what it is worth. This is unfortunate because he is a good doctor. If he were to get a new staff, I would go back, but not until that happens will I return.
He never gave up on me, always listened to what I noticed and experienced. He ALSO never avoided the truth, but didn't just slam into me with it. He expresses compassion at all times and compliments me when I succeed.When I ask detailed questions about medicines or symptoms, he is knowledgeable.
I have seen Dr. Arauz Pacheco for many years and love him but his staff is terrible. I am diabetic, use a walker, and was left waiting at the checkout for so long that I had to return to the waiting room to sit down,at the same time having a low blood sugar episode, which they did not seem concerned about. You can not reach anyone at the ofice for help. The staff did not file the insurance correctly for my blood work and I got a bill for something I never pay for. I refused to pay and their billing company finally dropped the matter after many hours on the phone. The staff is rude and very unprofessional, smacking gum and never looking up when you sign in. Dr. Arauz does give me the time I need but I do ask him to sit down so we can go over everything. He is very caring but it seems he is a bit overloaded.
really cares about his patients

Antiques Considered - July 28, 2010

- Last Updated on Wednesday, 28 July 2010 05:00

Recently a young man bought this beer mug at an antique shop here in Virginia. It is a shade of medium green, with matte finish, and has a keg or barrel shape to it. On one side is embossed, "Happy Days Are Here Again", thereby helping us to date the piece quite accurately. It is in excellent condition, and bears the mark, "H" in a circle and the number 497.
This mug is easy to date. The song, "Happy Days Are Here Again", was Franklin Roosevelt's theme song for his 1936 re-election campaign. In all probability the mug was a campaign item. From the texture and color it fits with the manufacture of Hull Pottery in the 1930s.
In 1905 Addis Hull purchased the Acme Pottery Co. of Crooksville, Ohio, which became Hull Pottery, and as such the business continued to operate until 1986. To answer a question that I frequently receive, I am no relation to the pottery Hulls.
Most interestingly of all, the tune, "Happy Days Are Here Again", also heralded the end of Prohibition, thus the symbolism of a beer mug celebrating the return of "happy days" is truly a double entendre. People could be happy either about the return of alcohol or about the prospects of Roosevelt's forthcoming second term.
The beer mug is worth $40. It is a great political souvenir, and speaks the tenor of the time in which it first appeared on the scene. Pottery of this nature was very popular during the Great Depression. It came forth from the factories to meet the needs of the struggling lower middle class. It had nice appearance and cost far less than similar porcelain items.
I suggest not using it for beverage consumption without first ascertaining whether the matte glaze has any lead in its composition. Lead was the common ingredient in nineteenth and early twentieth-century glazes, down into the 1950s. None of such pieces should be used for food products as the glaze can chip and be ingested. If this one does have a lead content in its make-up, put it in a cabinet or use it for display of cut flowers, but not for beverage consumption.

The trial of a former official of the Getty Museum in Los Angeles resumes today as Italian authorities campaign to retrieve antiquities they believe have been stolen and sold to some of the world's leading collections.
Marion True, 57, is charged in Rome with buying antiquities from Italy which she knew were stolen.
The outcome of her case may force art galleries and museums around the world to reconsider their exhibits. Already, the case has given the Italian government the confidence to demand the return of hundreds of statues, bronzes and plates from museums in New York, Boston, Cleveland and Japan. The Greek government has followed its cue, launching its own court case against Miss True and winning back prizes including a million-dollar golden funerary wreath.
On Monday, Miss True, the former head of antiquities at the Getty, was released from a Greek prison, after posting a £10,000 bail. However, she is not expected to appear in court in Italy. If she is convicted in either country, she faces up to 10 years in jail.
Her trial, which began in July 2005, has exposed a murky European trade in antiquities, with stolen goods from Italy and Greece being labelled by dealers and given false histories before being shipped out to American museums. Greek prosecutors have revealed a letter from Miss True, telling the board of the Getty Museum that the funerary wreath was "too dangerous for us to get involved with". She changed her mind four months later.
The Getty Museum, one of the biggest buyers of antiquities thanks to its enormous endowment from John Paul Getty, the oil magnate, has been asked to return 42 items to Italy.
So far, it has agreed to give up 26. The two sides are discussing the remainder.
Francesco Rutelli, the Italian culture minister, said the Getty's evidence of ownership was "crumbling".
However, the museum, despite Miss True's trial, insists that it has "rightful ownership". Many of the contested antiquities were smuggled out of Italy after being looted from Etruscan sites north of Rome.
Between 1949 and 1973, about 400 of the 550 tombs at the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri were ransacked.
The Italian government, after years of pleading for the return of the artefacts, recently started an aggressive campaign, led by the lawyer Maurizio Fiorelli.
Last week, military police raided the villa of a goldsmith in Abruzzo, seizing several "museum-standard" pieces.
At the beginning of this year, Mr Fiorelli requested the help of authorities in Japan to track down 100 pieces spread across the country's museums. He is also targeting a museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
"We offer loans of long duration for those who return the objects we seek, and there is no damage to culture or to the museums," he said.
"Our goal is to sever clandestine excavations and illegal international traffic."
As the head of the Getty's acquisition programme from 1986 to 2005, Miss True recommended items from private dealers and auctions.
However, she has denied all wrongdoing, and has even accused the museum of abandoning her during her trial.

We were also told by their owner Sunny that they stand by the quality of everything that they sell. He also said that we had 30 days to return the items and that we should have someone in the United States look at them to ensure their quality. We were also told don't worry, we are considered part of the United States and there won't be any issues, if you decide to send anything back. Upon returning to the United States, we had some other professionals inspect the diamond and were told that we had not received a diamond of that the quality that they claimed it was.
We made several attempts to notify the store with no success. My fianc and I also sent them an email with our concerns. We never heard back from them. I also continued to try to reach them by phone. It was at this time that we decided to take it upon ourselves to have the diamond professionally appraised, with the intention of sending the items back via certified, insured mail. On 3/20/09, several attempts were made again to speak with someone at the store. Again, we were unsuccessful. On 3/20/2009, we also took the diamond to a GLA approved appraiser and paid to have the diamond officially appraised. The appraisal showed:
Color: I
Clarity: Low I
Replacement value: $8,275
Again, multiple attempts were made to reach the store. Finally, we were able to someone named Sunny. After I explained everything that occurred, he informed me to send everything back.
A day later, I sent the diamond and ring back to H&S Jewelers, via registered mail and requested a return receipt.
Unfortunately, the ring was returned to us, as H&S Jewelers refused the package when they received it.
These guys run a huge scam. They have people all over the island (Americans) that tell you stories and make small talk to get you in to their stores.

They are nice....
AUTHOR: FG Johnson - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, November 19, 2011POSTED: Saturday, November 19, 2011
We bought a $12,500 ring from them that they claimed to be an SI1 I. Upon appraisal at home it turned out to be I2 K. with a retail value of no more than $6000. They said our appraiser was lying. We had the stone removed and sent to GIA. It came back as Fracture Filled for clarity and L for color, worth even less. This stone is pure junk, mostly glass filler. My jeweler said he wouldn't buy it for $500.
After several calls, Sunny finally cursed at my wife and hung up on her. He will not speak to us and just told us that if we were unhappy to get a lawyer but he would not speak to us again.
My wife is heartbroken and we are out a lot of money. We will pursue this farther with the credit card processor and, if needed, a lawyer.
I want my money back and I want to see them closed forever.
They are outright thieves.

H & S Jewelers has changed it's name (again)to Bella Jewelers. They closed the store at the end of main street and are now only on Radaats Gade.
Name changes are a way to close a credit card processing account that has problems (chargebacks etc) and get a "fresh" start.
This is the same Sunny that has been ripping off people for years.
We were lucky...we bought a ring for my wife. On our way out, we overheard him say to his employee "taking money from Jews is almost as good as killing them"
We went back in and tried to cancel the purchase. Sunny became very aggressive, almost violent. We left the ring on his counter and stepped outside and called the credit card company and explained the situation. They called him and asked where the ring was. He said right on my counter, but it belongs to us and he refused to refund. The credit card cancelled the purchase right there. He then followed us down the street threatening us. We hopped in a taxi and went back to the ship.
These guys are very bad news. Stay away. They ruined our enjoyment of our trip, but thank G*d we didn't get taken like so many others

Most of the discussion on taxes was spent on Romney's tax plan. Romney's plan, like most tax reform plans, would lower tax rates and make other changes to the tax code to encourage growth. The economy will not recover fully until we have tax reform.
"Biscuits," he said. "Biscuits?" I asked. "Yeah, biscuits," he said. "I want to learn how to make biscuits, the kind my grandmother made." My jaw dropped a bit. This bachelor friend of ours sitting across the lunch table was revealing a side that caught me off guard. He's regularly decked out in crisp, starched shirts that fit the rather starchy business he's in. The idea of a guy up to his elbows in flour and shortening was hard to imagine.

My husband and I have very different TV viewing habits. He watches most sporting events, especially football, golf and NASCAR. If there is an old western movie being televised, he will find it. He will also watch endless reruns of any murder-mystery series. I think his all-time favorite is "Lonesome Dove."
Conservative activist circles are abuzz with a new conspiracy theory: Polls showing President Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney are deliberately being skewed by the Liberal Mainstream Media so that Republicans will be disheartened and stay home on Election Day.
I'm glad to be home, in my office, typing on a real computer - not fumbling around on a tablet in the dark, late at night, in a far away B&B. But in many ways, I'm still not back from my Pittsburgh to DC bike ride. I'm happy to be with family and friends, sleeping in my own bed, eating what and where I want, but other aspects of reentry since arriving home Monday morning have been less easy to handle.
The Obama administration's policies are bad. Bad in the sense that the policies are morally corrupting. They take money and control away from people and give them to government bureaucrats, who then decide what should be done. The policies encourage people to be less responsible personally and to rely more on the government.

The summer dragged by, and my walking shoes didn't even get their first outing. It was just too hot, and I questioned the sanity of those who kept up regular walking and running, sometimes with gasping dogs in tow. Now that it's fall, I've got no excuses. Besides, Covington is a great little town for walking: broad thoroughfares with bicycle lanes, beautiful residential streets wending their way past carefully tended yards, plenty of trees for shade along some routes, a charming square and enough hilly rises to give a workout to anyone who wants to max the ...

With the vote on the charter school amendment just over a month away, the heat is getting intense. I know. I have felt it. I wrote a column a few weeks ago giving the pro-charter folks an opportunity to make their case for the amendment.

I own a sewing machine. My husband gave it to me as a Christmas gift just after we married so it must be more than 40 years old. It still works, but I have cracked the presser foot and the top of the machine is a bit dented. I have also broken off the back-up button. But it still works just fine.

Today, our travels took us onto the historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath, which will lead us to the D.C. suburb of Georgetown by Saturday.

After contacting them I received a telephone call from a gentleman in New York who painted a very nice picture of what the services were that Madison Who's Who offered and how they could ensure that my profile would be enhanced in such a way that I would receive invitations from interested parties.
I was assured that I would be listed on their International Who's Who register and that I would be receiving certificates of association with them. The person then proceeded to list the fees structure associated to each of their various levels of "VIP status" and set out the advantages of each level.
I then chose a level of about (I think) US$200 or thereabout. I also provided my credit card number and authorized the payment of the amount - which was duly done.
Soon afterwards the promised certificates were sent to me. Thereafter I received more telephone calls from them informing me that I was now one of their esteemed clients and that my name would appear in the Madison Who's Who register.
Soon afterwards I received another telephone call informing me that in order to secure my registration I was required to pay another amount. I found this strange and unacceptable and refused to do so. Various calls followed to convince me to make the payments. I then informed the caller that I was cancelling my association with them and that they were to remove my name from their register. I followed it up with an e-mail sent from my previous place of employment - I do not have copies. I was shocked to discover that Madison Who's Who made an unauthorized, illegal and fraudulent withdrawal of US$100 on my credit card account on 11 February 2013.

As political candidates offer vague promises of spending restraint and Congress considers the administration's new budget, Americans face an unpleasant fiscal landmark: before we get to the election in November, the national debt will exceed the U.S. economy's entire annual production.
The debt has not exceeded the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) since World War II. Once that war was over, however, the debt stabilized and then steadily fell as a percentage of the economy.
Unfortunately, nothing like that is on the horizon today. On the contrary, government projections show the federal debt – which recently topped $15.5 trillion -- continuing to increase rapidly in the years ahead as we continue to borrow and as today's unusually low interest rates eventually rise toward their historic average.
The Concord Coalition's projections, based on reasonable assumptions about future decisions by elected officials, show federal debt snowballing even more rapidly than government projections do. And if the economy falters, the debt would grow even faster.
Even sweeping fiscal reform plans, such as those recommended a year ago by President Obama's bipartisan fiscal commission, envision the federal debt continuing to rise for decades.
A few facts about the federal debt to keep in mind:

After Watching This Video, Can Anyone Say That Remix Isn't An Act Of A Musician?
Jul 20th, 2011 @ 7:06am
Who is an art?
Based on several comments it would appear that there is some arguement over two things: that the operator is a musician and that the remix is considered art.
Mirriam-Webster's online dictionary says that a musician is a composer, conductor, or performer of music. That is, one who plays or makes music. So, is the operator (nice neutral term) composing music? Well, taking bits of 39 different works and mashing them together would be considered composing as he had to orchetrate the series of the bits. Is he conducting it? Certainly looked like it to me when his fingers were snapping the time/rythym. Is he performing music? By the act of touching something and having tonal sounds result yes, he is.
So, he's a musician. And I'm okay with that. I am NOT okay with groups of singers calling themselves a BAND. Bands play instruments, or at least most of them do. If all you do is sing, you're a chior or vocalist. And if you don't sing, by which I mean a reasonable degree of variance from the monotonal rapping...
Anyway, back on track now...
Is a remix considered art, Fair Use, and what have you? Well, everytime I look at these articles about remixing I am -forced- to look towards 'Weird Al' Yankovic. A man who has made an amazing career out of remixing and parodies for 35 years. While he does these parodies and remixes of famous songs into polkas he does ask the musician's permission -as a courtesy- even though he doesn't have to thanks to Fair Use. I'm sure that many out there would have little trouble agreeing that his works are already art and almost a poster boy for Fair Use. Here's a guy who takes the same words, the same sounds, or some combination of the two, and speeds it up to a polka beat, rewrites the words, and has made a decent living at it in addition to live tours, concerts, merchandise, online mp3 sales, etc.
And there I go digressing again...
So, is a remix considered art? I've always considered art something to be looked at and music something to be heard. But I would have to say that blending bits and pieces of previously done works, no matter how much or little of the work is used, and turning them into a completely different work is completely valid. Is it Fair Use? Again, I would say it depends on how much of it you use and how different it is from the original. If you take an entire movie and redo the last 5 minutes of it, you don't have a strong Fair Use case just because you wanted Voldemort to win or something.
Now is it considered art even if I don't like it? Well, as it happens, I -do- like it even if you don't. However, art has been historically all about likes and dislikes. Art is about creating emotion through you and expressing the emotion of the artist. The musician has managed to create emotions within me as I hear his works, I have read your emotions in your words that the musician has created with you, the work in question has managed to cause a controversial and point-raising debate bewteeen opposing sides. Thusly I would have to consider the piece in question not only music, but art as well.

YouTube Launches Myth Perpetuating 'Copyright School'; Dismisses Remixes As 'Not Original'
Apr 15th, 2011 @ 10:53am
Odd, the '3 strikes' looks so much like the ones on 'The Price is Right' that I expected the fail-music to play afterwards. Did they get the proper copyrights for that? I'm willing to guess the answer is 'No'.
As for misusing the DMCA process, they still need something that works both ways for this. If I say something about someone and they say it's a lie, they try to sue me. If it's found out that they sued erroneously, then I am allowed to sue them for the initial suit. Thus, if my content is removed wrongfully, and is proven so, why then would I not be entitled to restitution?
I also love they way that the Fair Use information (of which they explain little and provide no examples of positive Fair Use for comparison) and the information at the end about how to find more about Copyright via YouTube was drowned out by noise and moving images.
They also failed to mention that because you are making that video more available to the public, that interest in the creator of the video and his content will grow, thus making him more money.
Now, the question is if we make a parody of this video, and explain each point they make and how they are in error, is that Fair Use or do they get to sue us?

Phone That Can Search The Internet & Display Ads Patented; Everyone Sued
Apr 6th, 2011 @ 1:49am
I will admit, this is the first patent I have actually looked at in all the stories about patents that have been written here. And I have to say that I cannot believe that something so broad and generic can be locked down. Are all patents like this? I thought you had to be specific, like submitting code or a circuit or something other than just a flowchart saying 'somehow this happens and somehow that happens and therefore I own it'.
It reminds me of a math
where a scientist has written down a massive formula but in step 2 he writes 'Then a Miracle Occurs'. These patents appear to be protecting everyone's Step 2's.
If this is what it's all about, then allow me to submit my patent for 'Method of Allowing One's-Self the Ability to Redirect One's Genetailia to Allow for Hind-Most Orificial Insertion with Mild Discomfort'. Then I can sue anyone who has ever told someone to go f&^$ themselves.

Of a world where FIFA continuously sues Kulula until they can but put a single word on a poster, but everyone will know. Then they won't be allowed to use words and will insert a single picture, but everyone will know. Then they won't be allowed to use pictures and will use a blank space, but everyone will know. Then some judge will actually look at what's going on, say "What the f...!?!", and begin the campaign for putting a stop to this bullshtick.

Peeling The Layers Off 'Piracy'
Mar 17th, 2010 @ 11:51pm
Shades of Black
Assume someone has small children who like playing with shiny things (DVDs). They build a media PC and burn the DVDs to the drive to watch on their TV instead of having to repeatedly purchase new copies and store the originals somewhere safe. This is technically illegal as they are a) copying and b) bypassing DRM to make said copies. Is it moral, though? Should it truly be illegal? Now assume they make a duplicate media PC with the same movies on it at thier grandma's house so the kids can watch when they visit. Should that be illegal? Is it illegal if grandma decides she wants to watch one of the burned and copied movies when the owners and their children aren't there? Do the **IA truly have any right to tell the owners what they can do with their legally purchased copies? Yes, they may currently have a legal right, but do they have the moral right?

Free Is Not An Aberration; It's Basic Economics
Mar 2nd, 2010 @ 8:20am
I have to agree. Case in point: I subscribe to a computer magazine (name withheld, world is sue-happy remember?) I get the magazine. It costs $1/month. Yes, $12 per year. Yes, they have the same thing online and sometimes I do go there. I feel it to be a small, personal version of CwF+RtB. CwF: free content online including ability to download back-issues as pdfs. RtB: sometimes it's nice to be able to sit somewhere with a physical magazine and read the articles and cut/paste certain things I need in a handy location.
Now, back to the subscription. They have a lot of ads. They are targeted at a certain demographic. Sometimes the ads work, sometimes not, but they usually at least get me to thinking about their product and might even cause me to do some research on it. The magazine gets ad revenue, the website gets ad revenue, I potentially and sometimes do click on the various ad links thus generating more revenue for them. And all I'm out is $1.00 and some minor space for the magazine. I'm happy, the advertiser's happy (well, would be if I bought more), the magazine is happy.
I think it just boils down to fear. The concept of giving away your product in order to make money, to the major business world, is new. Anything new to someone who's never changed is scary. Fear of change vs. fear of dying out. You either choose to overcome the first, or you're forced to overcome the second.

Texas patent toast
Now we all get to sit back and watch the lawsuits out of East Texas in regards to this. It appears that every company that ever owned a patent on anything is suing everyone else for creating something that they couldn't. Maybe we need to just do away with all this crap and let people create what they want. If they manage to make money at it, kudos. If I decide to take an existing object and repurpose it to do something else, I'm afraid to patent it or tell anyone about it. Odds are that I'd get sued.

Redbox Caves To Warner Bros., Will Delay New Movie Releases From Kiosks
Feb 16th, 2010 @ 8:11pm
Well, there goes another good thing...
Now that Redbox is forced into this deal, they are going to lose some more revenue. Here's how. I'm too poor to afford seeing movies in theaters. So, I rely on Redbox to be able to rent them (local video store is both more expensive and has smaller selection). If I rent a movie and I like it, I usually end up buying it. Now, here's where the trouble pops in. When a movie is just released BestBuy and Walmart have the price lowered right away for the first week or two (don't quote me on exact time). NOW when I rent a movie, if I like it and want to buy it it'll be back up to full price since it's a month after the release. Then I'm forced to wait for it to be in the $5.00 bin until I can get it. By then, I doubt I'd even remember the movie exists, let alone want to buy it at that time.
The movie studios behind deals such as this must be brain-dead to not figure this bit of economic madness out. It's stunts like this that end up causing people to go to file-sharing sites to download the movie. If the movie industry can't do anything smart, they should do nothing at all and leave everything as it is instead of making things worse.

BioShock 2, Loaded Up With Annoying DRM That Pisses Off Fans, Cracked Immediately Anyway
Feb 10th, 2010 @ 2:23am
Constant issues with 2K
I installed Bioshock 1 with non-stop issues. Called 2K about 10 times over 2 weeks with no solution. I e-mailed them constantly. Essentially there was no way to get it to work, and 2K was absolutely no help. I finally got it working by updating to Windows 7. Now that's I've finished it, the ending was such a let-down it's as though no one there cared about the ending. "Let's just finish it and get our paychecks." Now that Bioshock 2 is out, yes I'd like to play it but I'm not going to buy it. They don't have a demo I can try to see if it will work out-of-the-box. I had considered downloading a torrent of it, but I'm not going to do that, either. 2K has essentially lost a customer due to past DRM issues, bad programming, and poor customer support.

Microsoft Exec Calls For 'Driver's License For The Internet'
Feb 5th, 2010 @ 9:38am
I can't surf 55
As a small-town techie, I am both for an against such a thing.
Firstly, I agree because most of the problems I encounter are usually due to the most inane of happenstances. Things that, if they were forced to take a simple class, could've been avoided. Simple things like deleting files, how to open certain files, and why they always get a virus after surfing around on Myspace.com.
On the other hand, if it weren't for them making these mistakes, I would not have this source of income.
I would be for a discount card. Take a class voluntarily, learn about your computer, know the difference between RAM and storage space, and you get a card that all techies would acknowledge and give a discount on repairs. No card? Full price. But then you'd have issues with people making copies of them. But if the card were made in such a way that it was not impossible to copy (face it, that's impossible) but very difficult and would require much expertise, then you'd be deserving of said discount, so kudos.
Seriously, how many of us do or want to charge extra when we see the computer is using XPSP2 and IE5? Let alone WinME?

Second Life Gang Using Copyright To Stop Discussion Of Its Tactics?
Feb 3rd, 2010 @ 2:32am
At what point is it copyright infringement and at what point is it an homage or parody which would be protected under the First Ammendment? It's not as though they made the characters in order to profit from them. For references do searches for Marvel vs. NCSoft and you'll see how rediculous both sides of the argument are.
Also, I feel that copyright has definately gotten out of control. People and companies seem to be using it as a defense or attack mechanism in order to destroy something they don't like, namely other people doing something similar to them. When it comes to reporting, I know you're supposed to go in-depth and give much detail for the editors to weed out, but copyright suits due to it? What are we supposed to do? Call them "The Group Which Shall Not Be Named"? That itself sounds much like copyright infringement as well as being a boring story.
The world has gotten sue-happy. Everyone needs to stop suing everyone else, calm down, take a chill pill, and learn to freaking relax. So what if someone makes reference to something you did or own? It's at the point where they try to make money from it without your permission that you have to worry about.
If I create an item and call it The Next Cool Thing and a reporter writes about it, I would be glad they used the name and an image of it. I would demand it was spelled right and the picture was clear. If someone invented The Cooler Next Thing I wouldn't sue, I would devise a marketing campaign to ensure that there was no way to accidentally confuse them as being the same. And likely to point out flaws in it. If it was Really Cool I might even buy one myself. And then I would go out and invent The Last Coolest Thing Ever and wonder if they can top that.

They did me in simular fashion. Please tell your story on glassdoor review. I have a sneaking suspicion they are posting false positive reviews. This would counter the true negative ones. This helps their online search presence. A true negative report on this horrible company is needed to keep other victims away.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
So who won "the trade".
The can of worms is opened.
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
* Kearns: 113 w/ REDS ; 92 w/ NATS
* Lopez: 97 w/ REDS ; 76 w/ NATS
* Kearns in Wash.: 2007 = $3.5 mill, 2008 = $5.0 mill, 2009 = $8.0 mill
* Lopez in Wash.: 2007 = $3.9 mill, 2008 = $4.9 mill (released 7-31-2008!)
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
In terms of pure production, the Nats won easily.
I guess some people will claim the Reds won because they save money, but the Reds could've accomplished the same thing by nontendering Kearns and Lopez.
In the end, the Reds got 174 IP out of Bray.. about 80 IP of those (my estimate) were good. The remaining were mediocre or bad. Only accumulated 1.8 WAR over his 6 year stay here.
I remember when people were clinging to Daryl Thompson being the savior of the trade. I guess there will be a new rationalization now to justify the Reds winning this.
The biggest impact was that the 2007 team which was in pseudo-contention collapsed after the "Trade"
Clayton, Maj, and Bray (along with Freel and maybe Deno in the OF after the trade) contributed a lot to the collapse.
Seems like an obvious loss for the Reds to me.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
Extreme example.. the Reds trade for David Wright today for Logan O.
He wins the MVP in 2013.
Reds sign him longterm to a 10 year 300 million dollar contract.
He becomes ineffective the rest of his career.
Seems like a good trade, but the extension backfired.
The Reds gave Masset a two year contract last offseason for 5 or 6 million.. There's a good chance they will get zero production from that contract.. but that doesn't negate the fact that Jr for Masset was a pretty good trade.
Heck, the Reds paid a roughly 3 - 3.2 million to Bray his entire career, to get spotty production..
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Bray earned less in his entire time here than Lopez did in a single season there. That should just about end the argument. Of course we still have AK's $16+ million in WASH. Pretty obviou$ who got the wor$e of that deal. Production? Better find better production than "Nats starters" AK and FL. Unless they were paid the amount that Bill Bray received while wearing a C on his hat.

I've been using WPSEO with a multisite installation for a while now. It worked great for the first thirty blog we installed!
Now we just did another round of them, and it seems that I can't update any options. Update the stuff, hit save, and nothing. It reverts back to the original.
Stuff I tried:
-Deactivating all other plugins
-Changing themes
-Network deactivating the plugin and activating it on each individual blog.
No dice. Still didn't work. What did work was going to the network settings page and deleting the value for "New blogs get the SEO settings from this blog"
Does that mean that WPSEO gets its values directly from the blog defined in that network option? As in, they can't be updated? Basically: was this intentional? or a bug?
If it was intentional, it doesn't make much sense to provide options pages on each individual blog that can't be updated.
One more error occurred as well, and it's probably due to the same issue. I got a headers already sent message when updating anything using options.php. It came from line 540 in class-sitemaps.php. The second argument of the in_array() function call was not an array.

- Can Excess Miles on a Lease Be Written Off as a Tax Write-Off?
Auto leases are typically set for between two and four years based on the type of car and the amount you put down. At the end of a lease, you can return the vehicle in accordance with the lease agreement or purchase the car. While it is tempting to have a brand new car every few years through leasing, you may find significant savings with a buyout.
Car Model
The amount you save by buying out your lease varies based on the type of car you have. For example, if you are leasing a car that is in great demand, it may come with a high sale price even if it's a few years old. If you return your lease then try to buy the same car on the open market, you may end up spending much more than you would have if you'd just bought out the leased vehicle you were already driving. If you are leasing an unpopular model, the cost of a buyout will likely be higher than the same car purchased used elsewhere.
Any lease buyout comes with a purchase-option fee attached. This fee ranges from $300 to $600 based on the price of the car. It must be paid at the time of the buyout and adds to the overall cost of the process. When you factor in the purchase-option fee, the decision to buy out your own lease may not save as much money as you thought it would. For example, a car valued at $10,000 with a $9,500 buyout price may seem like a deal. Add a $600 buyout fee, however, and the transaction becomes a loss.
The price you are quoted for a lease buyout by the car dealer may not be the best deal you can get, but you may be able to negotiate a better deal. Dealers want to sell cars, and it is far easier for them to sell your leased car to you than it is to find a new buyer and start from scratch. Use this lnowledge to gain leverage in the negotiation process. Let the dealer make an offer first, then make a counteroffer that is lower by at least 10 percent to 15 percent. Unless the car is in serious demand, you will be able to save even more by engaging in a little back and forth.
There are cases in which it makes sense to buy out your lease even if you are not interested in keeping the car yourself. Some cars earn equity during the course of a lease. Equity builds when the car you lease becomes worth more than the buyout price set by the dealer. In this case, you may choose to sell the car to another person, buy out your lease in full and keep the difference between the two. If the profits are large enough, they can offset the entire cost of your lease and you can save thousands. According to Phillip Reed of Edmunds.com, the savings can be as high as $3,500. To know whether you have equity on your leased car, check the resale value in its current condition and compare that with the buyout price.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Pair deny they broke into Mr. G'sApril 26,2013Pair deny they
broke into Mr. G's
WESTMINSTER — Two Bellows Falls men pleaded innocent Wednesday at criminal court in Brattleboro for allegedly breaking into and stealing items from a Westminster business.
Brian Brownell, 30, and Aaron Bush, 25, were each charged with three counts of burglary, two counts of unlawful mischief and possession of stolen property.
Vermont State Police responded to a burglary at Mr. G's Warehouse on Route 5 and pulled over two people who matched the description of those seen leaving the warehouse.
Several watches and pieces of jewelry were found in their possession, and they tried to break into two other locations in the area, according to Trooper Ryan Wood.
A status conference has not been set for Brownell but Bush has a pre-trial date set for June 10, according to criminal court.MORE IN This Just In

In yesterday's devotional, I challenged you to live life with passion. Today I want to give you one other perspective on that.
Take a look at 2 Corinthians 9:2 where Paul writes these words,
For I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.
Did you notice those last eight words, and your zeal has stirred up the majority? Passion is contagious.
What do you think might happen if a community saw a church that was utterly on fire? Where all the members in that church were passionate about their worship, passionate about their relationship with God, passionate about serving one another, passionate about real deal Christianity where the rubber meets the road?
I believe there is a divine attraction to that! And I believe that it would transform a community.
Sadly, most communities witness just the opposite—compromise, apathy, and boredom—not passion.
Now, rather than complain, I want to challenge you to live life with real passion. Go all out for God. It only takes one person to ignite the fire of passion in others.
I heard the story of a man who came to hear D. L. Moody preach. While sitting there the man next to him asked, "Do you come out here because you believe the things he's preaching?"
His response was, "No. I come out because he believes it."
Passion is contagious! Are people catching it from you? Is your zeal for Christ stirring up those who come in contact with you? If not, ask God to put that passion into your heart today and watch what happens!

The Ten Commandments for Marriage
Some of the greatest marriage advice of all time comes from an unlikely source: the Ten Commandments, which were actually wedding vows for God's people. God was saying, "If you want a long-term relationship with Me that's healthy and growing, here's what needs to happen." In The Ten Commandments for Marriage, Bayless Conley unpacks how the Ten Commandments are actually a road map to a strong and vibrant marriage. They're God's wise counsel for you today, whether you're married or plan to be! So please request your copy of The Ten Commandments for Marriagewhen you give today. And thank you for giving to impact more lives and marriages through Answers!

I had a past due bill from a wal-mart credit card and as soon as the bill had hit 1 month late GC services started calling 5-10 times a day seven days a week. They started out by resonably speaking to me but kept insisting check by phone or credit card by phone which is strange considering it was a credit card account I was late on. But after a small time they started calling me stupid and irresponsible and saying stuf like "come on, how hard can it be for you to pay your bills, we know you still live with your parents." It's none of their business who I live with or who I work for either.
Finally I decided to snap when they kept calling even after the bill was paid off. I told the lady with a lot of curse words, that they were pissing me off. And that it's illegal to call as often as they do and she said "we're above the law, we're the government." So me be the smart-a*s I am, I said "since when is the government in Houston, Tx, I thought all they had their were steers and queers." She got mad and told me she was going to send the FBI after me for harrassment. That's when I got even more mad. I told her that I have worked telemarketing before and that it is illegal to call before 9 AM and after 9 PM in the state of Ohio. She once again said "we're above the law."
Most of the calls I have received were before 9 AM, let me tell ya I'm not too happy to have to wake up to that crap, and after 11 PM, when everyone else in my house is asleep. Tell me why the government would set these telemarketing laws and then this company that claims to be the government breaks them.

Three Reasons Why I am going to the Wildgoose Festival this SummerIn 2005, my first year of bible college and theological education, I found myself reading thoughts I had never heard in my years as a fundamentalist. By 2011, I had developed a paranoia that I was one of the apostates, often times praying for hours each day that God would correct my theology and save me from any evil world views that my flesh must have desired.But, slowly, I was falling in love with the God who was bigger … [Read more...]

On a number of occasions I bought rental properties, but had no intention of holding them for income. I only wanted to flip the properties to other investors who wanted passive income. In context, I have never wanted to be a landlord and will in another article show you how to make more money in income properties by not being a landlord. In addition, you'll make money in days not years and never have to cope with tenants and toilets.
I was driving some time ago when I got a frantic call from a young guy who was answering an adverting piece I had out. He blurted into the phone, "I have a home for sale that is rented and I am going to take the highest bidder by the end of today!" I called him back and set an appointment for an hour later.
When I met him I had done some preliminary research on the property and it appeared his grandmother had deeded the property to him and his sister who were both minors at the time. With further research, the grandmother had passed away and her will stipulated that the property be put "in trust" for the brother and sister. What had happened is the probate attorney had simply decided to have the court deed the property to both siblings.
The home was a small two bedrooms and one bathroom home that had been rented to the same family for the past 27 years. The seller (brother) showed me the interior but I couldn't see behind the sofas which seemed to be everywhere in the house. The back bedroom had wood paneling on the walls and it was being removed by the tenants.
Later I found out that the tenants had been renting the property for 27 years under the supposition that they would be given the home when the grandmother (landlord) died. Since the grandchildren inherited the property, they were bitter about the situation. What I didn't see was that the tenants had actually started to remove all the improvements they had made over the years and were systematically tearing down the walls of the house!
The tenants had been paying $500 a month for the last 27 years or about $162,000 for a property that I was buying for $30,000. I could understand their bitterness and the brother was only interested in getting his half of the proceeds of the sale. He had a higher offer that he initially accepted but found out that the title to

Does this mean that I better remove the cannons/cannonades in the "Index:Land Based MOCs" because we are having a specific Index for them? In this case I will wait until Mr. P. has completed the new index.
A general remark/question: Is it a good idea to have many pinned topics? I was considering a merge of the Index: MOC ships and Index: Land based MOCs to limit the number of pinned topics. For users that are already a long time on EB, it is no problem to find the MOCs, but for new users this gets more difficult since the MOCs are already 1 level deeper and depending on the resolution of your screen, you have to scroll down first before you see the actual discussion topics. Is there a general strategy on this Mr. Phes/Tiber? Basically (and don't that this negative please!) I think the overall structure of the Pirate forum is very bad and a real nightmare for new users! This might also be one of the reasons why not many users from the other EB-forums post here. We pirates also have a look at the other forum (at least I do), but I don't see many (except Norro) fellows, other members commenting anymore in the pirate MOC forum. By not having a clear structure, the pirate forum is isolation itself!
This would be my proposal to bring a good structure:
The first level gives only an overview of the different forums and doesn't contain any actual posts:
- (General) Pirate forum
- Pirate MOC forum: Here are all the MOCs and 1 extra forum: Pirate MOC index forum (containing the indexes, torso library,...)
- The Great Library of Honduras
- Pirate LEGO Signature & Avatar Workshop
- Governor Broadside's Administration Building
- ...
In order not to have an off-topic discussion here, I started a separate topic: The structure of the Lego pirates forum.
if you would like the microsoft word document, pm your email and i'll email it
it is a good point to just have it all merged
also. if we want things tidy, should we merge this thread with the custom cannon thread and maybe have the subtitle changed to "Index: MOC Cannons"?
