Fedora 12 "Constantine" Arrives
The Fedora project promoted by Red Hat has released its version 12 of the Linux distro.
Next to Linux, the Fedora release code-named Constantine includes multiple new features, ranging from a fast Yum Presto plugin for package management and a network manager with 3G support to an experimental 3D acceleration for Radeon HD 2400 cards at installation. NVIDIA cards should also provide better resolution from the start with the alternative Nouveau driver.
The usual upgrade to the main components is reflected in Linux Kernel 2.6.31, GNOME 2.28, KDE 4.3.2 and the popular applications in OpenOffice 3.1.1. The bootloader implementation proves conservative, with Grub doing the job, with Grub 2 remaining unique to Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala."
As was the case with Mandriva's newest release, Fedora 12 provides a Moblin interface next to the GNOME and KDE larger desktops and the alternative LXDE. Moblin is especially interesting for netbook deployment.
Fedora is available as either a DVD image or distributed on CDs and various Live CDs versions. Even PowerPC users can get a piece of it. The release notes provide the full details.
Server admins can also get a first glimpse into future Enterprise Linux generations from Fedora 12. For example, the Anaconda installer supports iSCSI and even Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), albeit working with 10-Gbit/s Ethernet bandwidths only.
In the security area, Fedora 12 provides SE Linux sandboxes that separate applications into secure cells. The new ABRT 1.0 crash reporting tool allows users to file bug reports for usual applications, while the SE Linux Alarm Monitor can directly register SE Linux errors. Finally, the Fedora developers reduced as much as possible the access rights to certain server applications, by way of a new libcap-ng library.

Clomid checks
Comments (7)
My doctor gave me 6 refills, so I have 6 months of unmonitored use of clomid 50mg days 3-7.
I am not being monitored right now. I was given a 3 month sript. My doc said if it didn't work in 3 months to come back in and we would see about other options. I feel like I am the only one not being monitored. I am seeing my normal OB/GYN doc and not a RE.
Hoping for # 3 soon!
I am seeing an OB, not an RE like many on here. I was given a 3 mo supply and I was told to call if:
I don't get a +OPK on the first cycle
If I get a +HPT so I can do Quant checks
Two girls - 12/10 & 11/12
Im on my 5th cycle of being unmonitored on clomid. I am also not seeing an RE but only my ob/gyn.

I don't necessarily think it's wrong to not have checks as long as there are no problems and no signs of hyperstimulation.
Good luck to all of us!

"RE: Interesting thread...."
Certainly interesting times.I was speculating last month that the new camera would set the IQ level of DX and the D300s replacement would be essentially the same but with a few features that current owners have gone on record to value more than IQ: more than 6fps, heavier, a few single purpose buttons, an opened up version of the CAM4800 for which they are willing to pay a $800-1000 premium. The sales in recent years have increasingly to light weight, high performance cameras with a smaller percent gain in heavy large cameras. That shift in preferences by consumers in everything from phones to cars will probably continue to make the heavy bodies more and more niche items. With the bridge cameras and compacts creating images in resolutions that were not possible in pro cameras just a few years ago customers are starting to realize that large and expensive is not required for a high level of performance. The little Sony NEX looks like a toy but its noise, DR, speed and color would shame most pro cameras of 4 years ago in output.The D90 was really the first Nikon low cost consumer digital camera that was the results equivalent to more costly pro level cameras(D300) in a trend that continues with the D7000 except in reverse order. The lower priced camera set the bar first and the pro body version will be an operation legacy/habit oriented, rather than results oriented product differentiation. In the past new level of technology were unveiled in limited production cameras and trickled down. That timing cycle now would hurt Nikon too much because their income is from the mass items. The D7000 will sell millions so it was more important than in the past with less competition, to release the innovations first in their core product classes. The D400 will be an enhanced D7000, not something that blows it away, photos from either will be indistinguishable. Right now, until that new model comes out, the heavy body DX class will have stagnant sales for a while. Those who absolutely need a button in the old position, have their button now and are not going to upgrade to anything, they surely will not "downgrade" to a lowly D7000 even if it means better DR, noise, color, WB, metering and other trivial matters. The competition right now is D7000 and 7D, the D300s is not in the game right now as an upgrade or brand switcher.Some features of the new D400 to expectSame internals as the D7000An opened up Multi-CAM4800 with more points and more cross points.Faster 14bit conversionLarger buffer2 SD slots The move to SD was started with the 1/2 and 1/2 in the D300s and the new high speed, high capacity standards means the future is bright for the SD, and not for the CF which is losing market share, meaning development slowdown.Mic and Line inputs for audio chainAdvanced alignment references for vertical and horizon10fpsOnboard flash able to control 3 channels in CLS250,000 click shutterover 1mpx rear displayLess emphasis on video(soon real video cameras will be released with DSLR mounts, APS-C or FX sensors which will make all the current hype about video DSLR disappear overnight)Slight ergonomic improvements$900 higher cost.Overall, no revolutionary changes, just enhanced D7000Just pure speculation based on trends and market realities.StanSt Petersburg Russia

Tax Administration:
Costs and Uses of Third-Party Information Returns
GAO-08-266: Published: Nov 20, 2007. Publicly Released: Dec 20, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
One proven approach for improving tax compliance is information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by third parties about taxpayers' income and expenses. IRS matches information returns with taxpayers' income tax returns to see if taxpayers have filed returns and reported all their income. The administration's fiscal year 2008 budget proposed requiring information reporting on merchant payment card reimbursements and on certain payments to corporations, raising an estimated $18.4 billion over 10 years. This report's objectives are to (1) identify, using case studies, the compliance costs of existing information reporting; (2) determine the kinds of third-party compliance costs that may result from the two budget proposals and options for mitigating the costs; and (3) determine IRS's ability to process and use additional information returns. GAO did nongeneralizable structured interviews with four payers volunteering information and with five companies filing a sizable percentage of all information returns. GAO's work also included reviewing studies and documentation and contacting other government and nongovernment parties.
In nine case studies, filers of information returns told GAO that existing information return costs were relatively low. One small business employing under five people told GAO of possibly spending 3 to 5 hours per year filing Form 1099 information returns manually, using an accounting package to gather the information. Two parties selling services reported prices for preparing and filing Forms 1099 with IRS of about $10 per form for 5 forms to about $2 per form for 100 forms, with one of them charging about $.80 per form for 100,000 forms. As expected, unit prices for services provided to payers by selected software vendors, service bureaus, and return preparers decreased as the number of forms handled increased. The two information reporting proposals studied would impose new compliance costs, some of which could be mitigated. For payment card reimbursements, compliance costs would include (1) merging separately stored taxpayer and merchant identification numbers, especially in the case of multiple locations or franchises; and (2) more generally, new systems and added service requirements. Mitigations could include (1) having the reporting party be as close as possible to the merchant in a payment or reporting chain and (2) extending current systems and procedures that, for instance, might already generate and report related data used for other purposes. For payments to corporations for services, payer compliance costs would include, for example, additional bookkeeping, and mitigations could include limiting information return recipients to only some corporations. IRS already receives and handles a growing number of information returns, over 1.7 billion for tax year 2006. According to IRS officials, IRS uses about 90 percent of potentially usable information returns in its matching efforts for individual taxpayers. IRS pursues millions of discrepancies, including both underreporting of income and failure to file tax returns, discovered through its matching efforts. According to IRS officials, millions of others are not pursued because of resource constraints. For the two proposals studied, IRS budgeted $11.8 million in programming and start-up costs for fiscal year 2008, with another $16.8 million expected in administrative implementation costs after 2008. It did not estimate future enforcement costs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average set an all-time high four out of five days last week. In poker, that's roughly equivalent to being dealt a straight flush.
The economic news generally surpassed projections; Federal Reserve board members gave speeches that reaffirmed the central bank's accommodative stance; and on Thursday the Fed's "stress tests" certified nearly all the U.S. big banks as healthy. Investment-bank stocks, up 21% on the year, fell Friday, as their results weren't as good as expected. (More on that below.)
In the race to new highs, previous market fears took a back seat, whether the effect of federal-government spending cuts on the economy, or its unresolved debt and deficit problems, or the consumer's reaction to higher payroll taxes.
For this bull market to gain acceptance, the Standard & Poor's 500 index must take the baton from the 30-stock mega-cap Dow and confirm with a high of its own, in relatively short order. While a breather for the 2013 rally could be seen near term, the broader index, just 15 points away from its own high, is expected to race to a new high as well.
Last week, the Dow soared 2.2%, or 307 points, to 14,397.07. Friday's close completed a four-year odyssey nearly to the day from the market's closing low March 9, 2009. The Standard and Poor's 500 index jumped 2.2%, or 33 points, to 1551.18, shy of the all-time high of 1565. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.4%, or 75 points, to 3244.37.
Labor Department jobs data out Friday were salutary and better than expected. Nonfarm payrolls added 236,000 last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7% from 7.9%, the lowest since December 2008.
"Another day, another new high," quips Ryan Larson, head of equity trading for RBC Global Asset Management. The economic news, while improving, remains consistent with a modestly growing economy, he says.
Kurt Brunner, a portfolio manager with Swarthmore Group, concurs: "We're not ramping up to significant growth…[Friday's data are] just an affirmation of modest growth." Stocks were helped by Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen's remarks Monday, that the Fed intends "to leave accommodation until well into the recovery."
The market is "living and dying" by Fed statements, says Larson, and it's struggling with alternating comments from the hawkish and dovish camps inside the Fed. Investors wonder how long the accommodation can go on, he says. Lately, Fed statements in the main suggest the stimulus won't be retracted any time soon.
The next important signpost will be the Fed's review Thursday of bank requests for increases in dividends and share buybacks. Then there's a Fed board meeting March 19-20. If the S&P 500 hits its own high soon, call it a royal straight flush.
LAST THURSDAY, the Federal Reserve gave passing grades to 17 of the 18 largest U.S. banks in the annual exercise commonly known as the stress test. The financial institutions were subjected to various hypothetical economic downturns, including a severe recession with unemployment rising above 12%.
The results show the strength of the banking system and the recovery in its capital position since the disastrous 2008-2009 financial crisis, according to a report from Keefe Bruyette & Woods. Bank capital is at a 70-year high; the industry would still be well-capitalized under an extremely stressful scenario; and capital continues to build, the report said. All banks passed except Ally Financial, majority-owned by the government and not publicly traded.
In coming days and weeks, look for higher dividends and more share buybacks from some but not all the big banks. On Thursday, the Fed's decisions on bank capital plans, such as requests to increase dividends or share buybacks, will be revealed.

JPMorgan trades at 1.3 times its tangible book value of $38, compared with a historical low of 1.1.
Banks in general are well-capitalized and generating record earnings in what is a lousy business environment, he says, and with much higher capital requirements than were typical before the crisis. If interest rates go up—which is the way it's looking—net interest margins could widen even if the economy just trudges along the way it is, he adds. Terril thinks JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America shares could rise 40% to 50% over the next couple of years.
"What's JPMorgan going to do with all that capital it's generating?" he asks. It will find its way back to shareholders somehow, he answers.
This week, look for bank stocks to move on Fed approvals or disapprovals of dividend or buyback increases. Given that the banks were allowed to modify their requests immediately following the test results, it's expected they will be able to avoid outright rejections from the Fed.
The more important part of the exercise comes this week, says Jack DeGan, chief investment officer of Harbor Advisory. The Fed is going to be conservative in what they let the banks do, he adds. Bank of America, with the housing-related potential litigation risks hanging over it, for example, will probably not be allowed a significant dividend or buyback increase, he adds.
Another way to play the banks long term is the Troubled Asset Relief Program warrants issued by financial institutions during the crisis, about which this column wrote April 2, 2012. They can represent a good opportunity to invest in the potential rise of the underlying stock, says David Marcus, the CEO of Evermore Global Advisors.
For example, the JPMorgan warrant (JPM/WS), trading at $15.45, allows the holder to buy one share at the strike price of $42.42 before Oct. 28, 2018. The warrant is in the money if the shares top $57.87—the strike price plus the cost of the warrant—by then. In April 2012, these warrants traded at $13.38. "Will JPMorgan be above $57 by late 2018? Absolutely," says Marcus.
The arithmetic is similar for the other warrants, such as COF/WS for Capital One Financial COF 0.5671077504725898% Capital One Financial Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD69.16 0.39 0.5671077504725898% /Date(1472245259513-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2175642 AFTER HOURS USD69.17 0.0100000000000051 0.014459224985540775% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16268 P/E Ratio 9.754583921015515 Market Cap 35000286886.2683 Dividend Yield 2.313475997686524% Rev. per Employee 578084 More quote details and news » (COF) and BAC/WS/A for Bank of America. All warrants expire in either 2018 or 2019. Evermore owns all three.
Why not buy the underlying stock? Marcus points out that the lower-priced warrants tie up less capital and can produce a higher percentage return. The risk, unlike the stock, is that they can expire worthless if the stock doesn't rise enough. The trading is less liquid than the underlying stock.

In the second half of the September-ended fiscal 2012, customers hesitated on purchasing during the fiscal-cliff negotiations. Even so, for the entire year sales rose 20% to $1.38 billion, while EPS increased 16% to $3.48. But that's down from 30% and 50% rises, respectively, in the previous year.
Things worsened in the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31, when profits rose 6% to $69.5 million, or 88 cents a share, from $66.5 million, or 83 cents, in the year-ago quarter. The revenue rise was "just" 13% to $365.5 million. F5 said that service revenue jumped 28% but product sales only 4%, partly the result of lower federal-government sales. Cue the panic.
The doubts raised among investors have hurt the stock. At Friday's close of $94.01, the stock is off by a third from highs of nearly $140 last April. Still, over the long term, it's likely that more digital data will be created year after year, and data-traffic growth shows little sign of slowing.
A lot of that traffic will be shifting to the cloud, says Charlton Reynders, CEO of Reynders McVeigh Capital Management, which has been buying F5 shares.
If anything, with the cloud being utilized more and more by governments and all kinds of businesses and consumers, digital data usage and traffic seems likely to continue rising sharply, he avers. There might be some cyclical bumps along the way but demand for popular traffic-managing products like the ADCs will continue to grow nicely. Data security is becoming more important, not less.
F5 is a bigger company now than it was a few years ago, so growth will naturally slow some. Yet 15%-to-20% growth is plenty good, especially with the stock selling at a trailing price/earnings ratio of 26 times, significantly below its average of 36 times. At the same time, its return on equity and gross margins are higher than the historical medians. Moreover, F5 has about $15 per share in cash and marketable investments and no significant debt, Reynders notes.
The company does face stiff competition, but Cisco's plans to exit the ADC market and form a partnership with Citrix should be viewed as confirming F5's lead rather than a threat. It probably will be good for ADC pricing.
Short-term problems have pushed F5 stock to a point where long-term investors can take advantage. With its leading position in the ADC market and a shelf of new firewall and security-software products coming out, F5 stands to benefit the most as the amount of information sent across the Internet proliferates.

Cherry Gulch-Emmett, Idaho
Challenge – Inclement weather conditions
Solution – Hercules Truss Arch Building
Size – 65'W x 100'L
Application – Indoor gymnasium
Tucked amongst the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, Cherry Gulch is a boarding school for boys, providing various therapeutic intervention and prevention programs. Read More
Situated on 220 acres of ranch land northwest of Boise, the staff at Cherry Gulch was looking to expand its recreational activity programs. Outdoor facilities are ideal for various games and team building activities, but they also wanted to provide the students with year-round recreation in an indoor gymnasium.
"We've been utilizing an outdoor basketball court for all of our programs," explained Program Manager Kahn Borge, L.M.S.W. "We wanted to give our students the opportunity to play sports and enjoy other activities with an indoor facility during inclement weather." After exploring different building solutions on the Internet, Cherry Gulch ultimately selected ClearSpan Fabric Structures due to its affordability and durability. "We selected ClearSpan because of the combination of low cost and quality," Borge added.
The 65' wide by 100' long Hercules Truss Arch Building was installed using ClearSpan's in-house anchoring system. The 10' long Helical Anchor foundation allows for minimal excavation and rapid installation of the structure. What's more, the spacious interior has allowed the faculty at Cherry Gulch to use the indoor gymnasium in more ways than initially planned. "The building has been great and the students love it," explained Borge. "We've also found that aside from recreational activities, we are also using the building for large training sessions." In addition, Cherry Gulch also chose blue and orange for their gymnasium floor to emulate the colors of the Boise State University Broncos, which is known for its blue turf football field at Bronco Stadium.
During extreme weather conditions, Cherry Gulch also had ClearSpan outfit the building with doors and fans, to assist with ventilation in the summer months, and propane tube heaters to keep the gymnasium at comfortable temperatures during the winter. In addition to these supplemental building accessories, it's the intangibles that have impressed the faculty the most. "Not only is the building very strong," said Borge, "but it's attractive both inside and out. The ClearSpan building has been a great addition to our facility."

Putting a ball head onto an old tripod
Hey all,
I've got an old SLIK tripod with a 2-way head (so no easy switching to vertical shots) and I was thinking of getting just a ball head to put on top of it. Can you do this? It's got the standard screw on the top. Does the bottom of a ball head fit into that, or is it the wrong size?
Also, I was thinking of getting the inexpensive bogen 3009, says weight limit is 4.5 pounds, and I've got an N80 and my heaviest lens is a 70-300 ED. Is that enough?

Most of ther SLIK tripods I've seen do not have a removable head.
If that's the case with yours, a new ballhead cannot be installed in its place. Maybe it could be instaled on top of it but it serves no real purpose.
As for the 3009 minibal head it is recommended for small digital cameras. The minimum I would recommend for your setup is the 3413, 3413QR most convenient due to its quick release.
Have a great time :-)

Thanks JRP.
I guess that's what I thought about doing, just putting it on top of the existing head so I could tilt vertically without changing the position of the camera. So would the screw on the existing tripod fit into the bottom of the ballhead? Thanks for the tip on the capacity of the 3009 too..
The head can be removed, but it just leaves a cylinder of metal with a groove in the middle. I dunno if I'd be able to mount anything on there. Anybody know how?

The body mount is a 1/4*20 stud. Most head mounts are 3/8*16. Bogen has an adapter that has 1/4 inside and 3/8 outside.
But (alas there is always a big but) the added instability of a head on top of a head creates possible vibration and movemnet problems.
If you have the capacity to rework the column of the old tripod you may be able to fit a plug in place of the old head on top of the old column. into this plug mount a 3/8*16 bolt up from the bottom going thru the new plug leaving appx. 3 to 5 threads showing for the new head to screw onto.
Or watch for used or sales on Bogen 3001 or 3021 legsets and start with a good basic leg and put a head that will do what you need on it. The 3047 3-way and/or the ball head line are prime examples of good heads with sufficient capacity to deal with most amatuer bodies and lens combos.

Actually, you can put a small ballhead on the existing head, if you can find one that accepts the 1/4"x20 screw. I used a ball head like that on a cheap tripod for awhile, till I realized that the old head unscrewed, and there was another 1/4"x20 screw underneath. The ballhead was a Slik, as I recall, and was just 25 or 30 dollars. I don't remember where it is, or I would look at the name. This is not really rigid enough for using a telephoto at 1/4 sec or slower, or for really long night exposures, BUT it is plenty good for stabilizing your camera for 1/15 to 1/125 sec. You don't even need to lock the ball. BUT DON'T LET GO OF THE CAMERA! Be sure and lock it before moving the tripod. It's quite possible that you will find yourself using a tripod a lot more this way than the way it is now. Some people brag about how slow a shutterspeed they can handhold with, but I guarantee those shots would be much sharper with a cheap ballhead on a cheap tripod. But you really should plan on upgrading.

Cool, thanks for all the input. I'll look into some possible ball heads that I could put onto the top. I'd been thinking about a Bogen 3001/3413 combo, but I'm just not sure I'd carry around the 5 lb. package with me everywhere. My little SLIK has provided decent support at a very light weight, I can strap it on anywhere. We'll see.
Thanks for the info!

The Enterprise Center is establishing Chattanooga as a hub of innovation, improving people's lives by leveraging the city's digital technology to create, demonstrate, test, and apply solutions for the 21st century.
Here are a few of the ways we are doing it.
Innovation District
The Chattanooga Innovation District, designated in January 2015, is part of Chattanooga's dense and walkable urban core that contains a catalytic mix of start-up businesses, incubators, accelerators and other innovation economy generators and amenities. Learn more about Chattanooga's Innovation District.
Applications and Research
The Applications and Research agenda aims to increase Chattanooga's opportunities as a national test-bed, or living laboratory for the creation, development, education, and business generation potential of the city's digital assets, in particular the gigabit network and smart grid.
Digital Equity
Tech Goes Home is a digital inclusion program that works with community partners to help residents across Hamilton County gain access to the skills, hardware, and Internet connectivity required for 21st century success. To learn more about the program, or find out where courses are being offered this fall, visit Tech Goes Home CHA.
In 2013, newly elected Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke tasked a group of 25 Chattanoogans with determining how to build on the success already realized through ad-hoc, volunteer-based, loosely-organized efforts to maximize the "gig" opportunity. A few months later, Mayor Berke, Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger, and Congressman Chuck Fleischmann responded to the task force's recommendations by forming a new entity focused solely on guiding community efforts related to the "gig": The Enterprise Center.
- Information technology and innovation are driving the new global economy.
- In working together collaboratively.
- Equity and inclusion must be hallmarks of our work.
- Chattanooga's unique character and spirit are key advantages for a leap into the new economy.

They burned down last year. They re-opened this past winter and are concluding a great season. What better way to say thanks than a solid comedy rooted in basic, human values?
"Wedding Belles" isn't particularly original, unpredictable or insightful. But it feels good. Tap feels good. As the slang goes, "It's all good."
The setup is straightforward.
It's East Texas, 1942. America is mounting the World War II effort, and folks at home are behind it 100 percent.
One of the members of the Eufala Springs Garden Club shows up at the Club meeting with the most pitiful young lady you ever saw. The little gal was supposed to meet her boyfriend at the bus station. She showed. He didn't.
No problem.
The ladies of the Eufala Springs Garden Club are going to see to it this little Dickensian waif gets her lemonade, cake, dress, groom and wedding. And into motion goes this merry-go-round of Southern hospitality, mishaps, fractured relationships and frenzied activity.
During all of this, Karen Lund's directing keeps pedal to the metal but under control.
Charissa Adams, from Brier, does a marvelous, hopeless, helpless overwhelmed by all the fuss. Adams is the do-gooders' latest, pet project.
Bossy done right is bossy done by Gretchen Douma. Douma's the sister who barks orders like a top sergeant and wisecracks with bite — a show highlight, to be sure.
Wanna see man-crazy? See Pat Sibley. She's forever changing husbands and dressing like the cheerleader she was.
You know why some women stay busy all the time, never slowing down? Karen Nelsen's got denial down pat. Nelsen is the always-there-to-help- others lady with a secret too painful to face.
And Kim Morris' always complaining, whining, sulking poor-me provides ballast to the cast's overall optimism. Morris is bossy sister's punching bag.
Richard Lorig's scenic design suggests a veranda and backyard garden without overdoing it. Sarah Burch Gordon's Costume designs say period-researched. Also, Nikki Visel's dialect coaching's got the cast speaking authentic Deep South.
This one's lots of fun; it's a great way to say the comeback's over, we're here to stay and we're feeling good. Taps is tops.

During our time here we experienced a number of issues including but not limited to the following:
1) Refusal to remove moldy material left by the owners in the basement after the flood.
2) Non-responsiveness to multiple requests to fix the dishwasher. After 6 weeks we repaired the issue ourselves.
3) Multiple calls from a vendor she selected to do electrical repairs for a separate issue requesting payment for the services provided.
4) Failure to return deposit.
In addition to these items the owner informed me that he had yet to receive the any payment associated with the deposit and rent we provided in January, which was give or take 60 days after we moved in and supplied these to Barbara.
We are currently in the process of filling a small claims court in an effort to obtain our deposit and the funds we were promised if we could vacate the property 10 days prior to the end of the month.

On Sept 9 2013, Ericka Givens brought the Landlord to court over the security deposit. The Court rightfully ruled in the Landlord's favor and awarded the Landlord additional money for the damages caused by Ms Givens! Ms Givens tried to ruin my reputation, but I was never involved in the security deposit. It was between tenant and landlord. Its a shame that disgruntled Tenants can write these reports to deliberately ruin a professional's reputation. Ms Givens even went so far as to say she would remove the remarks if I would get the Landlord to give her the security back. My fiduciary duty lies with my client. She was out of line throughout this whole ordeal. My thought on this is LANDLORDS BEWARE.
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 am not responsible for this tenant/landlord dispute. This tenant is deceitful and was a major disappointment to this Landlord. This report should be removed as again I am not responsible for the Landlords decisions. Tenants stealing the rental space, damaging personal items and allowing pets to ruin the upstairs is really not acceptable. Stop using public venues to ruin my reputation. I will not put up with it. Noting is worse than a disgruntled tenant using free sites to disgrace people. Their hope is of course no one will respond.

These are outstanding. I made these twice for two different occasions over the holidays and they were gobbled up in no time. Everyone LOVED them. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing.
These are beyond delicious, Lois, but I love anything with mushrooms anyway!
Awesome dish that Lois brought to my appetizer party. Unlike other reviewers, I'll make the whole recipe very soon and share all 24 mushrooms with my hubby (LOL)!!! Thank you Lois!

Eastwood Alsip Restores A Delivery Van
How to Finish your Welds with Seam Sealer
The guys over at Bay One Customs are working on all sorts of high end projects in their shop and even though quality is priority #1, sometimes there are tricks they use to save some time.
In this recent tech article they show you how to quickly smooth and blend welds on a chassis using Eastwood Self Leveling Seam Sealer. Check out the video below and the full story in the link above. Stay tuned for more tips from the guys over at Bay One Customs!
Rubberized Undercoating and Rust Fighting Paint Combined- Eastwood Rubberized Rust Encapsulator
We love getting product requests from our customers. The Eastwood tech department gets hundreds of requests, ideas, and suggestions a week as each of you tackle your projects. Two of our best selling products are our Eastwood Rubberized Undercoating and Rust Encapsulator, but many of you (myself included) are on a time crunch, and the time it takes to apply (and cure) two separate products can be tedious. After an overwhelming request from our customers we decided to combine these two products into a one-step process, our new Eastwood Rubberized Rust Encapsulator. Now you can fight rust with our popular Encapsulator formula while you reapply undercoating on your vehicle. Best of all you can spray this new Encapsulator directly over rust, while basic undercoating requires you prep the surface and rid it of any rust before applying.
While we were designing this new one-step product we didn't just mix the two vats of product together like you may think, we took the time to test and perfect the formula to assure you get the best of both worlds. We salt spray tested this new formula for over 500 hours to assure it will stand the test of time. To compare, most "exceptional" paints and coatings have a 200-250 hour salt spray duration, and low end paints and coatings are 100-150 hours. This alone makes it a no-brainer to use on your next project!
As always send us your ideas for new products and improvements on our current product line, we DO listen!
Parking lot Gems
As the weather gets nicer, we find ourselves driving our projects (both finished and unfinished) to work. I love walking through our parking lot occasionally and checking out some of the neat rides we regularly have parked here on a nice warm day! Below is 2 I spotted yesterday and thought everyone might enjoy.
First up is one of our "R&D" guys, Mark Robidoux. When he isn't brainstorming, testing, and designing; you can see him cruising around in this fully restored beauty that he built from the ground-up in 1991. For those not familiar, this is a 1968 Camaro Convertible. Mark replaced just about every body panel with new as he was putting it together, as with most of us.. he didn't want to have to restore this car twice!
Powering this beauty is a rebuilt original 327cid motor. Some highlights to this power plant are: port/polished 202 heads, balanced rotating internals, performance Cams, etc. Years later, Mark designed and perfected our extremely popular HotCoat Powder Coating system. As with anyone here at Eastwood at the time, Mark went "hog-wild" and powdercoated most anything he could fit in a "household" oven. Using a number of our Standard Hot Coat Colors he coated all suspension components and even went as far as disassembling the transmission and cylinder heads and powder coating them! 70,000 miles later and this restoration is still looking as fresh as it did the day Mark finished it!
Next up is Nick Capinski our "Beetle Guy". The day I took these pics he had driven his 1975 Super Beetle Convertible. Nick repainted this car himself a number of years ago. He used our full line of Sandpaper/Abrasive Discs. Then to smooth out any minor imperfections Nick found the Evercoat Z-Grip Body Filler went on quite easily and was a treat to sand out. Along any body seams our Seam Sealer Kit was used to seal and protect those joints/seams in the body and chassis. Lastly, Nick gave the engine bay a nice look by applying Eastwood's Underhood Black.
As you can see this beautiful spring day, convertibles seemed to be the trend here in our employee lot! Stay tuned for more cool rides that roll through Eastwood this summer!

Barrenjoey, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barrenjoey is a locality in the suburb of Palm Beach, at the most northern tip of Pittwater. The headland is mostly made up of Hawkesbury sandstone which overlays Narrabeen shale. Around 10,000 years ago the headland was cut off from the mainland due to the rising sea level; subsequent buildup of a sand spit or tombolo reconnected the island to the mainland (a 'tied island'). It is the location of the Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse, a lighthouse that was first lit in 1881.
On 2 March 1788, Arthur Phillip named the headland "Barrenjuee" (meaning little kangaroo or wallaby). The name has been spelt differently over time, Barrenjoey now being the accepted name since 1966.[1]

Downloaded the plugin, created a form and inserted into a post. Easy!
My original post that led me to this plug-in.
I can enter the data and it says form submitted. I think I need a function now. I'm not a programmer, but I survive by cut and paste and minor modifications. What is the general format? Just need a template that I can modify. I know nothing of AJAX.
Am I using the right plug-in? Looks perfect so far.

I've just installed the MarketPress Lite plug-in, and configured my settings. Everything was going to plan until I gave it a test drive.
On check-out, when I want to select more than one quantity of the product I sell, I get an error message saying, "Sorry, there is a limit of one..."
I obviously want customers to buy more than one item. How do I remove this order limit of one, so that the customer can purchase as much as they want?

Some environments, like saw mills and printing shops, are so dirty that normal machine controls prematurely and routinely fail. In other environments, such as operating rooms and IC fabs, workers want to remain so clean they cannot afford to touch well-used controls and knobs.
Holographic controls could be used by drivers to dial the phone.
A solution to both problems -- virtual controls that seem to float on air -- combine holographic and wave-sensor technologies. Engineers at HoloTouch Inc., Darien, Conn. (www.holotouch.com), use transmission or reflection holograms to make images of controls. (Transmission and reflection refer to how holographic images are made and projected). Their position can be adjusted to meet applications' needs.
A wave-source sensor, which could be infrared or acoustic, detects when a finger or other object enters the space that seems to be occupied by one of the holographic buttons and sends a signal to the actual equipment the buttons are meant to control. Tunable emitter/detectors let engineers adjust the activation area. If the image is of several buttons, the detector can be designed to scan the entire holographic image employing software analogous to that for programming a computer screen for interaction with a mouse. The software determines exactly which button is being "pushed."
Holographic controls could be useful in dirty environments, places where workers need to keep their hands clean or in consumer applications where repeated use and durability are issues. They would also benefit people without the strength or agility to manage regular controls.

The Hermes Consortium for Literary and Cultural Studies
The Hermes Consortium for Literary and Cultural Studies
is a collaboration of doctoral schools in Belgium, The Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France, and USA that seeks to further an understanding of the European presence in the fields of literature, art and culture in an era of globalization, to promote interdisciplinary thoughts in the fields of literary and cultural studies, to explore changes in European self-understanding and self-criticism across the cultures and disciplines in and beyond Europe, and to develop co-operation between European as well as between non-European research environments.
Hermes, Catholic University of Leuven, June 12th-16th 2016
Contemporary Perspectives on Media and Genre Interactions
Call for papers
In the symposium in Leuven we would like to explore the influence of the ever-transforming media landscape on literary genres. How do media affect and change literary genres? Which new literary genres emerge under the influence of other media? And what is the influence of transmediality and convergence culture on comparative literary studies?
Another set of questions relates to genre as a classification instrument in both literature and other media. Do accepted terms like drama, comedy… but also autofiction mean the same thing in different media e.g., literature or television? This question can be explored from a diachronic or a synchronic perspective: how do genres change under the influences of developments in media culture (e.g., the invention of print, film, television and internet)? How do specific genres (e.g. thriller, western, detective…) relate to or differ from each other in various media (film, literature, TV)? What about remediation: how do new media affect existing genres in 'older' media and vice versa?
A third line of questioning is a set of specific concepts in recent critical discourse that are related to but that also transcend genre. More specifically, we are thinking about the notion of seriality that re-emerges in contemporary literature, maybe under the influence of television series, and raises questions about older forms of seriality. A second theme is the blurring of reality and fiction in a transmedial context: how does it differ from older forms of such blurring boundaries in literature, for instance in the context of postmodernism?
We welcome papers from various disciplines and literatures but strongly encourage papers that have a distinct comparative literary approach and embrace interdisciplinarity.
Fee: 300 € per student (covers hostel, lunch, conference dinner and coffee breaks).

Belgium's Verlinvest Backs Australian Online Retailer
Belgian's Verlinvest, a Brussels-based fund created by founding families of Anheuser-Busch InBev, has backed Australian retail start-up The Iconic as part of a 28 million Australian dollar (US$26 million) funding round.
Existing investors like U.S. growth equity firm Summit Partners and Stockholm-listed investment company Investment AB Kinnevik also injected more equity into the online-focused venture, which is yet to turn a profit. The raising follows earlier investments totaling around US$50 million from J.P.Morgan Asset Management and Berlin-based start-up incubator Rocket Internet.
"The Iconic management team has done an exceptional job of growing the company during the past year and we are happy to be investing in this great success story," Frédéric de Mevius, Founder and Chairman of Verlinvest, said in a statement.
Adam Jacobs, The Iconic's co-founder and managing director, said: "This investment will allow us to further enhance of range of local and international fashion brands, reinforce the convenience of our website, and build on our market-leading shipping and customer service."
According to the National Australia Bank Online Retail Sales Index, e-commerce is a growing market, with volumes rising 18% in the 12 months to May 2013.
The Iconic's website receives more than 4 million visitors a month, thanks to shoppers drawn to features including three-hour delivery times in Sydney, and 100-day free returns. It's similar to Asia-focused Zalora, which is backed by a handful of the same investors — Rocket Internet, Verlinvest, Summit Partners and Investment AB Kinnevik.

Leasing is one way to reduce the costs of owning an aircraft. A properly structured leaseback in the right market may help reduce the cost of your flying and earn you a profit.
The term leaseback originates from the days when aircraft dealers were located on practically every corner of the airport. In order to increase sales of new aircraft, dealers would entice prospective buyers with the idea of buying a new aircraft and then leasing it back to their fixed-base operator (FBO). The buyer would simply come up with a small down-payment, sign a contract with the FBO, and the revenue generated by the airplane would pay for itself and then some! Today, leaseback is used to mean leasing an aircraft to any customers who want to rent your aircraft. For the purposes of this booklet, we will use the term "FBO" to represent the organization that is leasing the aircraft from the owner.
A successful lease arrangement depends on many factors, including choosing the right FBO, aircraft selection, maintenance, your realistic expectations of the lease, and the terms of your lease contract.
The best way to think of the process may be to consider the "lease" just like starting a small business, since you're going into business to make a profit. And as you'll see later in this review, a proper business approach is necessary to satisfy the IRS.
Careers: Two engines, half price
Multiengine leasebacks
By Wayne Phillips
AOPA Flight Training, July 2004
Chances are that the very aircraft you flew on your way to FAA certificates and ratings were not owned by the flight school, but by one person or a group of private individuals. The school merely "borrows" that airplane for training or rental to certificated pilots for personal transportation. In what is historically known as a leaseback, the school or FBO leases the aircraft and markets and rents it; tends to maintenance, fuel, and other direct and indirect costs; and remits to the owner a residual percentage of the rental fees each month. In such a scenario, it is common for the renting agency to keep 40 to 45 percent of the hourly rental charge.

State Rules: Aircraft sales and use taxes
By Patti Arthur
AOPA Flight Training, November 1998
If you're thinking about buying (or selling) an aircraft, take some time to learn a little about your state's sales and use tax system. The state sales and use tax system is complicated because each state has its own way of doing things. And when it comes to aircraft, matters can get particularly sticky because of an airplane's inherent mobility.
To Lease or Not To Lease: Can you make an aircraft work for you?
By Patti Arthur
AOPA Flight Training, July 1998
Aircraft leases can be rather confusing to the uninitiated. If you're an aircraft owner and you're thinking about leasing your aircraft to a flight school or other individuals, you should understand some basic rules and terminology. In addition, to avoid potential future problems you should speak with people who know about the leasing process. It's also important to find out what types of leasing activity the FAA sees as air chartering.

The Inevitable — Taxes: An Overview Of State And Federal Pitfalls And Benefits
By Joanne M. Barbera
AOPA Flight Training, April 1997
Congratulations on your new aircraft! You're sure to enjoy it, but whether your aircraft is entirely yours or mostly the bank's, one thing is common to all — taxes. Many states tax the purchase of aircraft, parts, fuel, aircraft leasing, aircraft modification, and repairs. The federal government taxes fuel. Owning and operating an aircraft may also have federal income tax consequences. If you're a first-time owner, or thinking about becoming one, here's what you have to look forward to.
