The letter is to inform you of the extraordinary and unreasonable difficulty I have had with delivery and installation of a stackable washer and dryer pair purchased from Best Buy. Your employees have consistently displayed a lack of knowledge regarding the product and the installation and display little, if any, genuine care or concern for customers' time or money, even to being downright rude about it. Calling these people Certified Appliance Specialists and claiming they are extensively trained and tested on new models so they have the most up-to-date product knowledge, (Fn1) is misleading at best, as Best Buy is offering installation and service contracts for an appliances that your own lack of warehouse inventory and installation policies and procedures prevent you from properly executing.
On Saturday, November, 22, 2008, I purchased a Whirlpool Duet Sport Front-Loading Automatic Washer (Model No. WFW8300SW) and Whirlpool Duet Sport Electronic Gas Dryer (Model No. WGD8300SW) from Best Buy Store 764 located at 4500 Van Nuys Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, California 91403 (Phone: 818-501-0933). At the time of purchase, the salesperson informed me that I would need to purchase either rubber or steel washer inlet hoses, (Fn2) new flexible dryer vent ducting, (Fn3) both to be brought from the warehouse at installation, and I requested a stacking kit, which I was told the warehouse was out of but she had one in stock, all of which she rang up as part of the order. I would also need gas dryer hose connection, 3/8" by 6', which she explained I would need to procure myself from a hardware store. She presented the Best Buy no payment/no interest for 18 months offer (which is more correctly simply no interest, as payments are required something which I would have refused), which I applied for and was told was approved. For reasons I don't remember (possibly the credit application), she had to re-ring the order.
We completed the sale, arranging for delivery and installation on Friday, November 28, 2008. She then realized she forgot to ring up the Whirlpool stacking kit, proceeded to do so as a separate transaction, and I then took the stacking kit and left the store. The next day, Saturday, November 23, I purchased the gas dryer hose from an Orchard Supply Hardware store.
On Wednesday, November 26 at 6:46 p.m., I received a call from the Best Buy Delivery Distribution Center in Chino notifying me that delivery and installation would take place on Friday, November 28, 2008 between the hours of 12 Noon and 2 p.m. on Friday, and asking me to call back. I called back as requested and confirmed the delivery.
On Friday, November 28, I sat and waited by the phone, but the scheduled delivery window came and went without any contact from Best Buy. At 2:07 p.m. I called the Best Buy Delivery Distribution Center and informed them the delivery had not taken place as scheduled. The representative took my name and placed me on hold; when she came back on the line she told me that Dispatch was having difficulty locating the truck and Dispatch would call me in 5 minutes; no such call ever came. At approximately 2:50 p.m. the truck showed up, no explanation, excuse or apology offered by your employees.
The installers proceeded to remove my current washer/dryer combo from the upstairs laundry closet and bring in the new washer and dryer. While moving in the washer, the taller of the two installers noted that the gas dryer hose I purchased was not the correct size -- I needed a 1/2 hose, not a 3/8 as I had been told by the salesperson, and the 1/2 hose they brought in from the truck was only 4' long, not 6' long. In addition, he stated that the stacking kit was the wrong kind (it was in fact, the right kind, but the wrong one for my model) and insisted that I should get a different kind of stacking kit because the type I had was not safe. (Fn4)
I called the Distribution Center again and questioned why I had been given the wrong information regarding the gas hose and sold the wrong stacking kit. While I was on the phone, the installers kept working on the installation despite not having the correct parts, and during the course of my conversation, the Distribution Center agent I was speaking with asked me to put the installers on the phone. I handed the taller of the two men my cell phone, who proceeded to talk to the representative in Spanish, which I do not speak. After several minutes he hung up and handed the phone back to me, even though I was not done speaking with the agent. The installer told me that he had been instructed by the agent to proceed with the installation, despite the incorrect parts. I again called the Delivery Distribution Center and asked to speak with the agent to whom I and the installer had previously been speaking, but never reconnected with them. The agent who answered that call, Blanca, informed me that under no circumstances would someone at the Distribution Center ever tell the installer to proceed on an installation without the correct parts. By this time, the installers had pulled the dryer from the truck and had it unpacked and sitting on the walkway in front of my condo. During the course of my conversation with Blanca, it was decided that in order to ensure the installation was done correctly, the correct parts should be obtained and the installation rescheduled. I was initially informed that the earliest available installation appointment was not until Sunday, December 7; however, when I told her that was unreasonable, given that I had been misled by the salesperson and the need to reschedule was only due to Best Buy's error, Blanca obtained her supervisor's approval give me an appointment on Sunday, November 30, based on my ability to obtain the correct parts. She specifically asked me, How soon would you be able to get the correct parts? The installers left the unpacked dryer with me, moving it into my living room. The taller installer instructed me to run the washer through one time before use and started the washer without adding any HE detergent, as is specified by Whirlpool. (Note: There was a 96 oz. container of Wisk HE detergent sitting on the shelf immediately next to the washer, at eye level.)
During the empty cycle, the washing machine shook violently during rinsing, evidencing the fact that the machine had not been leveled. Upon closer inspection, the tile floor around the washer was filthy, likely due to years of lint accumulation, but also freshly spilled water. I had recently cleaned the area around the old washer/dryer, but now it was covered in muddy boot prints and the beige carpeting on the stairs and landing in front of the washer was dirty. No attempt had been made to clean up any of it, in spite of a roll of paper towels sitting in plain view on the closet shelf (right next to the detergent), nor was I given the opportunity to clean it. Heading back downstairs I also noticed dirty handprints on the stairwell walls, probably made when they were moving the appliances. Finally, when I walked outside my door a bit later, I found the walkway outside my unit littered with garbage that they simply left where it dropped as they unpacked. (Fn5)
Later that evening I took the stacking kit package and went online to see what other stacking kits might be available. What I purchased is apparently the only type of stacking kit available for that model. I then noticed that the stacking kit I had been sold was for other Whirlpool Duet models, not the Duet Sport model I had purchased. My stackable pair required Part No. 8572546, but I had been sold Part No. 8541503. Nowhere on Best Buy's website did I find such a stacking kit, I found it only at Lowe's, so I ordered it online for pickup on Saturday morning.
On Saturday evening, while still running around to obtain the 1/2 x 6' gas dryer hose, I received a call from the Delivery Distribution Center notifying me that the installers would be out the next morning between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 Noon.
On Sunday morning at 10:07 a.m., two more installers showed up at my door. One was quiet and polite, the other I will simply refer to as Mr. Snotty -- enough said. I showed them upstairs to the closet where the washer had been installed, then came back downstairs and went through the parts I had with them, including the stacking kit I picked up and gave them back the 4' hose left by the first installers. The partner looked at the stacking kit and then had Mr. Snotty look at it. Mr. Snotty sneered when I told him I had to go pick it up because the store gave me the wrong kit, but Mr. Snotty later stated out loud that it was the right kit, and installed it anyway. However, Mr. Snotty snapped that the 4' hose was too short. I showed him the 6' hose I had procured and he informed me that he wasn't installing it because it didn't come from Best Buy. I told him I had been instructed to purchase the hose by the salesperson, the other installers, and the Distribution Center, but he was adamant that he couldn't install it because unless it came from Best Buy they couldn't guarantee the installation. (Notably, that had not stopped Mr. Snotty from using my stacking kit.) Mr. Snotty grabbed the 4' gas hose, handed an end to his partner, walked partway down the stairs and the two of them proceeded to tug with great force on the 4' hose in an attempt to stretch it out. When I dared to question the possibility of damage to the gas hose, Mr. Snotty snapped back that it was fine, and that if they didn't install today, they wouldn't be coming back, and that would be too bad for me. Mr. Snotty also complained that there was not enough clearance for the dryer venting and the closet door would be unable to close. (Fn6)
I went downstairs to the living room and, once again, called the Delivery Distribution Center. While I was on hold, Mr. Snotty and his partner came down and started to move the dryer towards the stairs. I asked them to wait, as I was on hold, until I talked to someone. Mr. Snotty clearly took offense to this, waved to his pal and snarled, Come on, she doesn't want us here, and proceeded to walk out the door, never to be seen again. When I finally spoke to an agent , Sybil, recounted what happened to date, and asked why I had not been previously told either by the salesperson, anyone at the Delivery Distribution Center or the previous installers of the policy regarding only installing Best Buy procured hardware with the dryer, Sybil stated that she was sorry that no one had told me but that was, in fact, the policy. She then stated that the dryer requires an 8' hose not a 4' hose, or 6' hose, but an 8' hose -- for proper installation, and confessed that Best Buy does not and has never carried such an item. When I asked what on earth I was supposed to do, being required to have an item which did not exist, she informed me that the Store Manager at my local Best Buy could arrange for someone to go out, pick up the correct hose and arrange for installation. She repeated that advice again and again, while offering no explanation as to why things had gone so far before this critical bit of information was made known. Approximately two minutes after I ended the call with Sybil, I heard the installers' truck drive off.
At 10:36 a.m. I called the Best Buy store and asked for the manager. I spoke to Store Manager Eric Rader and, once again, recounted the situation as briefly as I could, and asked he bear with me while I expressed my anger and frustration over having had two days wasted sitting and waiting for installers, in addition to running around looking for unusable parts all for the fruitless installation appointments, and finally asked that he resolve the situation. Eric stated he was taking the information down and told me he would be consulting with the most qualified person to handle this, his Appliance Manager, Tara. I was told I could expect a call back in around 30 minutes.
While I was waiting for the call, I went back upstairs to look at the washer and found that they had, in fact, hooked up the 6' hose to the gas line and simply left it hanging there. The foil dryer vent duct had also been attached but had fallen behind the washer. (Fn7)
In addition, they had opened the stacking kit from Lowe's and begun applying it to the top of the washer. I have to wonder what they were thinking by knowingly making such an install, after stating and therefore knowing full well that I would likely have problems should I have to call Best Buy for service, and wondered to what extent, if any, Mr. Snotty's actions voided any warranty(ies) by Whirlpool and Best Buy.
At 12:12 p.m., having received no response from either Eric or Tara, I again called the store and the call went unanswered, not even going to voicemail. I redialed and spoke to a salesperson who informed me that Eric had left for the day. I told her that I needed to speak to a manager and she eventually took my name and put me on hold. She then came back on the line and told me that all the managers there had been advised of the situation by Eric and someone would call me back. I told her that was not acceptable as the problem was I was already waiting for someone to call, and I was then again placed on hold. When she came back on the line, I was told that one of the managers, Angie , was standing right there on the phone working on my problem, and because she was on the phone, she could not speak to me and would call me back. Angie did eventually get on the line, while still talking to someone else, and said she was working on it. I explained that I was extremely tired of the runaround and time wasted. Angie was apologetic and said she would do whatever it takes to make it right, even if it means taking 10% off or whatever, to get someone out there as soon as possible, to get me the right parts and to resolve this. I asked if there was possibility of an installer coming today because otherwise I had to find a laundromat, and she said she was looking into it but had not been able to reach anyone. Angie proceeded to run down the list of installation parts, including the dryer venting, brought in from the warehouse by the first installers, which she noted I had not been charged for, but was one of the things that the salesperson had covered with me; I assume that it was dropped when she re-rang the purchase. Angie pointed out with glee that I had gotten a freebie, and not to mention it to anyone lest I be charged. (Fn8) While we went through the installation parts, I informed her that Lowe's would probably not take the stacking kit back because it had been opened/used, but she repeatedly stated that they would because they have a 30-day return policy and I needed to get the stacking kit from Best Buy.
Just before 1 p.m. I was again called by Angie who informed me that she had both good news and bad news: Bad news first. She had called around until she found the stacking kit, but the warehouse didn't have the 6' connector (they had never, ever, stocked an 8' connector), but since I did have one, she had contacted an outside contractor called Ultima[?], who they use who would be willing to use my hose and install the dryer at a cost of $150 which they would absorb (as if there was a possibility that I might be expected to pay it) though the earliest possible date would be Wednesday. Since she could not tell me whether they would be coming morning or afternoon, there would be no way I could schedule around my meetings during the week and I would have to wait for installation until Saturday, December 6. Angie would make the arrangements, ship me the stacking kit, and I could return the other one later. She just wanted to confirm one thing and she would call me back in 30 minutes. I do not recall anything that constituted the good news.
Just under two hours later, Angie finally called me back to say that the stacking kit would be in on Wednesday (a change in her story), so I could come in and pick it and bring them the old one for exchange, rather then her sending the part to me as she originally stated (another change in her story). She again confirmed that the contractor which she now referred to as "A-1" not "Ultima" would be coming on Saturday to do the install, but still would be unable to give me a time until Friday, so "everything is all right" (her words). Angie clearly decided that she needed to do nothing, offer nothing and has left this situation as is, with me still having to run around swapping parts (Fn9) and then waiting around for the installation. Perhaps the contract installer will tell me how to remove the adhesive backed stacking kit from the washer without ruining the stacking kit or damaging the washer? Let us remember that this is an adhesive designed to hold a 127-pound dryer in place. I still sincerely doubt that Lowe's will be delighted to get the used stacking kit back and gladly refund my money.
So, to recap, as it stands right now my losses consist of three days of my holiday weekend (9-1/2 hours spent waiting around my condo or on the phone with Best Buy personnel on Friday and Sunday), plus an additional four hours either calling or driving around (plus gasoline and cellular charges) on two consecutive Saturdays, (Fn10) and $21.62 on a now-worthless stacking kit from Lowe's (despite the fact that your Best Buy's installer, Mr. Snotty, determined the stacking kit is, in fact, the correct part), carpet and walls to be cleaned, (Fn11) all for naught. In addition, I am supposed to drive back to Best Buy today or tomorrow to pick up the new stacking kit and exchange it for the one I was incorrectly sold, return the other hoses to O.S.H., and then spend another weekend waiting around for an installer. In the end, after all the time and frustration, I may or may not have a property installed washer and dryer, using parts and methods which Best Buy deems unfit, and which may violate Whirlpool's warranty and may create a fire hazard in my home!
After enduring all of the foregoing, Best Buy and it's employees have done nothing to make this right, to make me whole, not even by way of apology, save for Angie who clearly said she was sorry only as a means to temporarily mitigate my anger on the phone. I am not only in the same position that I was before this weekend began, I now have the inconvenience of a major appliance sitting in the middle of my living room, preventing me from so much as watching television, a gas line hanging loose, an unbalanced washer, and no way to do my accumulated laundry (at least with my old appliance, I could partially launder my clothing) save the time and expense of sitting around a Laundromat, or having wet clothes hanging from every surface.
I would like to know what Best Buy intends to do to rectify this situation, to compensate me for my lost time and money, and to ensure that I (or any other customer) absolutely do not have to suffer through this misery ever again.
FN1 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat113400050000&type=category
FN2 This statement was made in spite of the fact that rubber-coated steel hoses were actually included with the washer, so I was mislead into an unnecessary $26.99 purchase. The included hoses were pointed out to me by the installers only after they had installed the steel ones I purchased.
FN3 Note that Whirlpool's installation instructions regarding dryer venting call for a rigid or flexible heavy metal vent, with the warning that, Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
FN4 So, Best Buy knowingly sells unsafe stacking kits? How interesting
FN5 I picked up the outside litter and paid my handyman to come over and move the washer and clean the floor.
FN6 I measured both the space and the existing laundry unit carefully before purchase. I measured again after the last installers' departure: With the closet door clearing the front of the washer by the specified 1, there are still 7-3/8 inches of clearance behind the unit, exceeding the manufacturer's spacing requirement of 5.
FN7 Again, Whirlpool's installation instructions specifically state Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure the exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible heavy metal vent... and WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. No one mentioned my cleaning the vent either prior to, during or after the purchase or installation process, stated that task had been performed.
FN8 Let us note three things here: 1) If I wasn't charged it was the salespersons' fault (as was pretty much this entire fiasco), 2) I was sold hoses I didn't need, so at best I would consider the free vent a fair tradeoff, and 3) that it appears use the type of flimsy foil vent supplied by Best Buy violates the manufacturer's warranty on the dryer. According to the manual the dryer requires a rigid metal exhaust, not a flexible one. Indeed, this type of exhaust may pose a fire hazard.
FN9 Apparently the illogic of hiring a contract installer because of the non-Best Buy gas hose yet requiring me to purchase another Best Buy stacking kit -- when even Mr. Snotty conceded the part I had was the correct one was completely lost on Angie.
FN10 As far as I was able to ascertain, the 6' gas dryer connection hose is not carried by either Home Depot, Lowe's or O.S.H.; this required that I contact or visit a number of smaller, independent hardware stores.
FN11 The tile floor was cleaned at my expense by my handyman, who was able to move the washer as I cannot.

Best Buy corporate customer service, to whom I also sent the above recap and then responded by saying, 'oh, so they installed the w/d so your issue must be resolved...' also sent a $75 gift card, so that helped smooth things over, though even combined with the discount, it didn't begin to pay me for all the wasted time.
Their Rewards Zone program, however -- one of the things they touted as a great reason to buy from Best Buy -- never contacted me when I reported that the login they supplied didn't work... Somehow that didn't come as a surprise.
The bottom line is that while I might shop at Best Buy again, I seriously doubt that I would make a major appliance or other purchase requiring that I have them install it or repair it, at least not in the face of a reasonable alternative -- too much risk of running across people who are completely uninformed or simply don't care about what they are/aren't doing for customers.

I tried to click the checkbox for add login button, but it seems that it doesn't show up at.. why? :(
I tried to click the checkbox for add login button, but it seems that it doesn't show up at.. why? :(
It does only show on single posts/pages and only if you are not logged in. Please read question U29 of the FAQ to understand why and for how to change that.
so you mean it won't appear on widgets?
i tried it, it shows up, but it doesn't login on my wordpress account and doesn't reload the site.. it only logs in to facebook.. need help pls.. thanks in advance..
Assuming you setup the registration form and login button as described in question U29 of the FAQ: did you register using the Facebook registration form before trying to sign in? It may help if you send me the debug information. See the last question in the FAQ for how to.
I'm using before Simple Facebook connect plugin, but when I tried deactivating SFC and activating add link to facebook, the button doesn't appear anymore..
Did you follow the steps of question U29 already?
Please note that after logging in you will be redirected to the page where you came from (unless you had set another page using the plugin options).
anyway, i tried it on my test site.. it works perfectly now :)
it is possible to display a facebook avatar if connected to facebook? :)
Nice it works now. I don't know how a Facebook avatar can be displayed, but you can display an avatar with the information in the FAQ (question U29).
how about sir, how to connect with facebook is admin account is already registered as wordpress user?? thanks for the fast reply :)
I can say, Best plugin! :)
If you are willing to go on a little adventure:
Don't forget to turn off debugging when you are done, because this can slow down your site.
If you download the development version in about half an hour, you can enter your Facebook ID without enabling debug mode.
Thanks a lot, m66b! :)
lastly, can you add a features that lets you logout both wordpress account and facebook account? :)
It works like a charm, indeed! :)
There is no documented way of logging out from Facebook, so I cannot make this, sorry.
Okay, Thanks a lot Sir.. I'll try to figure out the code soon so I can share it here too.. :)
I'm using the development version.. it works perfectly by testing with an id and removing my facebook profile id.. :)
Indeed the best! :)
Hi m66b, can you add this
in which this will force to logout facebook and your website..?
I was aware of that, but it will not log you out of WordPress. Have a little patience and I will brew something that does what your want. Maybe I will include it in the plugin, but don't count on it.
Okay, Thanks mate :) I'll look forward unto it :)
I added this small code to use a facebook logout button if your account is still logon..
autologoutlink="true" :)
Put this into the plugin option 'Text or HTML when logged in':

Am I odd for not wanting any visitors in the hospital? I don't have any family in the area, but friends and coworkers have started to make comments about how I'd better call them right away so they can see her right after. And I'm thinking, no. I just picture myself being exhausted and emotional, and I really don't want people around when I'm trying to figure out how to breastfeed. I think that's my biggest concern. Also, it's cold and flu season and they all have kids in school. I suppose they could not bring the kids and wash their hands, but still. I'd rather not even worry about it and just focus on baby and me those first few days.
What do you all think? Especially BTDT moms, did you want visitors after? Everyone has been so nice and supportive, and I don't want to come across as ungrateful or unfriendly,Ā but the thought of people showing up is already stressing me out.

Fans who want the Giants to re-sign Tim Lincecum will want to root for the Mariners down the stretch. Andrew Baggarly explains...

List items
1. Fez
Beautiful. Every pixel and tune is as close to perfect as it gets. I lost myself in this world until I had completed everything.
2. The Pinball Arcade
This was my year for pinball, and it's all because of this game. Because I started playing this on iPad, and because I got into one of the tables (Theatre of Magic), I found a real Theatre of Magic, got to know the number 2 ranked pinball player in Australia, was convinced to join a local Sydney tournament, and fell down the rabbit hole of pinball. Previously, I never cared for it. Now, perhaps 8 months on, I have come 5th in one of these tournaments (beating the aforementioned 2nd ranked player as well as the 1st!), have met a bunch of really cool people, and had a complete blast. I may have played more pinball this year than video games. I also still play a lot of Pinball Arcade as, even if it isn't the same as the real thing (the level of control in a real pinball table is beyond anything that could be emulated right now), it's still fantastic for learning the tables ins and outs and then applying them to the real thing. I also love that they are keeping pinball alive by replicating all of the awesome (and not so awesome) tables that are out there. It was a tough choice between this and Fez for number 1 game, but in the end, Pinball Arcade introduced me to something that isn't strictly a video game so I could not in good conscience make it number 1.
3. Super Crate Box
The first game I played in 2012 and I had a feeling it was going to take best game of the year. It still managed to stay in the top 3 which isn't so bad.
4. Gridrunner
Jeff Minter is a mad genius, and the new Gridrunner on iOS is an example of that genius.
5. Lollipop Chainsaw
A genuinely funny game. The writing in this is some of the best I have ever seen applied to the medium and the characters are all fantastic. It's not the most exciting game to 'play', but one of the best in every other respect.
6. Forza Horizon
I've never cared for Forza as I don't care for sim racers. This is not a sim racer and, unlike Need for Speed Most Wanted, has a great selection of cars and I really enjoyed it. I have criticisms of this game however, such as the poor audio mix, and the world feels far too small. But it's still great to cruise around, participate in the events, and the feel of the driving is very well done. It never clicked with me until I completely turned off the driving line mind you... I don't understand how following a green line is at all interesting.
7. Super Ox Wars
Another Jeff Minter game. I didn't get into it until a few guys on my Game Centre friends list were swapping high scores (hi Gaz and Robert Ashley!). An enjoyable shooter with the classic Minter addiction feeling of 'just one more game'.
8. Carmageddon
Newly released on iOS and the controls are beautiful. I was reminded why I loved this game back in the old days and it still holds up just as well. One of the best racers released this year.
9. Need for Speed: Most Wanted
I need to try and think of positive things to say about this game before I criticise it... I guess, in the end, I still loved driving around the world and looping around the freeways weaving in and out of traffic like I did in Burnout Paradise. But, I was really, deeply disappointed with this game. I was expecting it to be a sequel to my favourite game of all time (the previously mentioned Burnout Paradise), but it failed in almost every respect. The car selection was too small and the cars themselves a strange mix of boring cars (too many concepts), the co-operative and friendly multiplayer of Burnout Paradise was thrown out the window and replaced with a competitive smash fest that became infuriating. People are rewarded for taking out other competitors while they are just trying to complete a task and that ruins the entire multiplayer for me. I made so many online friends in Burnout Paradise because people were encouraged to help each other and teach each other how to do things. This is reversed in NFS Most Wanted. Also, the swapping back and forth of cars between multiplayer events was frustrating and you couldn't switch half the time without A: losing points by taking time to switch or B: getting taken out whilst trying to switch. The audio mix was horrible with the cop radio being far too loud and repetitive and never ending. The police events were frustrating and not fun, and could last forever. This game comes in at number 9 for me whilst at the same time being my most disappointing game of 2012.
10. Bastion
Newly released on iOS this year and I had not played it before. Finished it last night and while my initial thoughts as I started playing was that the game was fantastic and might break top 5 of this list, as the game went on I found the mechanics and art a bit repetitive. Great music though.

Team Fortress 2 Add On Achievements Uncovered?
Written Wednesday, April 16, 2008 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Attention Team Fortress junkies, there is a new map on the way called Goldrush [which you may have already known] and 36 achievements.
Even better, thanks to the guys over at Kotaku, we now know what they all are. If that didn't make you happy, unlocking these achievements will net you some fancy weapons. However, they are unclear as to whether these will just be PC achievements or 360 achievements as well.
Kotaku writes...
"One third of the achievements will net you The Blutauger, a new syringe gun. This weapon does not give critical damage, but instead sucks health from the enemy on impact. Earn two thirds of the achievements and you will get The Critzcrieg, a new medigun that will rapid fire critical rockets. Getting all the achievements will see you receiving The Ubersaw which takes melee combat damage and converts it into Ubercharge. Four direct hits with it will charge up whatever Medigun your Medic has currently equipped."
Sounds very sweet. Check out what you need to do to unlock the weapons below with the full list of achievements.
All 36 Achievements
First Do No Harm: Play a full round without killing any enemies and score the highest on a team of six or more players
Quadruple Bypass: Heal a teammate who is taking fire form four enemies at once
Group Health: Work with two other medics to deploy three simultaneous Ubercharges
Surgical Prep: Have an Ubercharge ready before the set up phase ends
Trauma Queen: Deploy three Ubercharges in less than five minutes and assist in five kills during that time
Double Blind Trial: deploy an Ubercharge within eight seconds of a nearby enemy medic deploying his
Play Doctor: In a team with no Medics, be first to switch to Medic after a teammate calls medic and heal 500 health
Triage: Deploy an Ubercharge on a teammate less than a second before they are hit by a critical explosive
Preventative Medicine: Block the enemy from capturing a control point with an Ubercharged teammate
Consultation: Assist a fellow Medic in killing five enemies in a single life
Does It Hurt When I Do This?: Kill fifty Scouts with your syringe gun
Peer Review: Kill fifty Medics with your bone saw
Big Pharma: Assist a heavy in killing thirty enemies where neither of you die
You'll Feel a Little Prick: Assist in killing four enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Scout
Autoclave: Assist in burning eight enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Pyro
Blast Assist: Assist in exploding five enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Soldier
Blunt Trauma: Assist in punching out for enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Heavy
Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying eight enemy Engineer buildings with a single Ubercharge on a Demoman
Midwife Crisis: Heal an Engineer as he repairs his sentry gun while it's under enemy fire
Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria: Assist in killing five enemies on an enemy control point in a single life
Grand Rounds: Heal two hundred teammates after they have called for Medic
Infernal Medicine: Extinguish one hundred burning teammates
Doctor Assisted Homicide: Assist in killing twenty nemeses
Placebo Effect: Kill five enemies in a single life, while having your Ubercharge ready but undeployed
Sawbones: Hit enemies with your bone saw ten times in a row without dieing or missing
Intern: Accumulate seven thousand heal points in a single life
Specialist: Accumulate ten thousand heal points in a single life
Chief of Staff: Accumulate ten million total health points
Hypocritical Oath: Kill an enemy spy that you have been healing
Medical Intervention: Save a falling teammate from dying on impact
Second Opinion: Ubercharge two teammates at once
Autopsy Report: Provide an enemy with a freeze cam shot of you taunting above their ragdoll
FYI I am a Medic: use a bone saw to kill five enemy spies who have been calling for Medic
Family Practice: Ubercharge ten of your steam community friends
House Call: Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy an Ubercharge on him
Bedside Manner: Be healing a teammate as he achieves an achievement of his own
Read the full article here. Great read for all Team Fortress fans.
UPDATE: Confusion surrounds whether these are either a.) PC achievements or 360 achievements, Kotaku weren't clear on that. But with some TF2 DLC on the way... Only time will tell.
UPDATE2: This is Alan Pettit (aka The Pants Party) updating Mr. Webb's post. I can confirm that these are "Steam" achievements, and will only be available via the PC version of the game, which does not update to an Xbox Live Gamertag. They will show via your Steam profile and that is all.
Valve/Microsoft came to an agreement that they could use 99 achievements in the Xbox 360 version's launch, but Valve was not allowed to add any additional achievements, regardless of the 1250 rule, because there is also now a 99 achievement rule. Obviously the PC version has no such restrictions since it is not a Games for Windows Live title and does not connect via Xbox Live.
Sorry to disappoint!

Did you know Canada.. I wanted to look at another Canadian invention today – the IMAX!! Canadians Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor, Robert Kerr, and William C. Shaw developed the IMAX system in 1968. IMAX is a motion picture film format and a set of proprietary cinema projection standards, IMAX increases the resolution of the image by using a much larger film frame. IMAX theatre construction also differs significantly from conventional theatres. The increased resolution allows the audience to be much closer to the screen. You've probably been to a few different style of IMAX screens. 'Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience' is the all-time highest grossing IMAX release; the worldwide IMAX box office total for the film climbed to more than $220 million since the movie's launch in December 2009. Very exciting and a great Canadian invention Read more →

Snowmobile in Ontario this winter!
Did you know Canada.. it was Armand Bombardier, of Valcourt, Quebec, that developed this unique snow machine in 1926. His vehicles were used wherever heavy loads were carried over difficult terrain. In the 1950s, he pioneered the development of small, light snow vehicles for winter sports. In this day and age snowmobiles are often used for sport, travel and weekend activities. Have you tried it? Check out sites like Ontario Trails to find available trails. Over 43,000 km available in Ontario alone! In Ontario you must have a valid driver's licence to use a snowmobile. For those without or 12+ there is a driver training course you can take to gain a valid snowmobile licence, for more information visit the OFSC site. Now all we need is some snow eh?! Read more →

Wrightwood, CA
"Excuse me," said a child to a visitor commenting in a classroom that this was a Method where the children could do as they liked, "I do not know if we do as we like but I know we like what we do." (From the Foreword of The Secret of Childhood by Maria Montessori)
Wrightwood Montessori at Sweet Haven opened in 2008 to answer the request of three sets of Wrightwood parents for a small individualized program that would help their children develop at their own pace. The Montessori method was chosen because the materials and practices were ideally suited for their request. Because the town of Wrightwood is small, it has always been the goal of Wrightwood Montessori to remain small, excellent, and affordable. All of the initial students are still in the program and the program now encompasses K-8th grade. Students are accepted on the basis of available openings, time of application, and the ability of Wrightwood Montessori:Sweet Haven to meet their needs, without regard to race, creed, sex, or religious preference. Wrightwood Montessori is owned by Gail and Bill Smith. Wrightwood Montessori offers Montessori educational prgrams and does not offer daycare.
Gail and Bill Smith are both retired educators. Gail has a B.A. from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va. and an M. A. from the University of Washington, Seattle, Wa. She received Montessori elementary credentials from the Graduate School of Education at the College of Notre Dame, Belmont, Ca., and the American Montessori Society. She received a California Multi-Subject Life credential through California Polytechnic Institute, San Luis Obispo, Ca. and a California Administrative credential through the University of California, Riverside, Ca. Bill has a B.A. from West Texas State College and a California High School credential. Both Bill and Gail have multiple California Junior College credentials.

Package: comm
Restore ordering of symbols using shift registers with GPU
GPU ConvolutionalDeinterleaver object recovers
a signal that was interleaved using the GPU-based convolutional interleaver
object. The parameters in the two blocks should have the same values.
Note: To use this object, you must install a Parallel Computing Toolbox™ license and have access to an appropriate GPU. For more about GPUs, see GPU Computing in the Parallel Computing Toolbox documentation.
A GPU-based System object™ accepts typical MATLAB® arrays or objects that you create using the gpuArray class as an input to the step method. GPU-based System objects support input signals with double- or single-precision data types. The output signal inherits its datatype from the input signal.
If the input signal is a MATLAB array, then the output signal is also a MATLAB array. In this case, the System object handles data transfer between the CPU and GPU.
If the input signal is a gpuArray, then the output signal is also a gpuArray. In this case, the data remains on the GPU. Therefore, when the object is given a gpuArray, calculations take place entirely on the GPU and no data transfer occurs. Invoking the step method with gpuArray arguments provides increased performance by reducing simulation time. For more information, see Establish Arrays on a GPU in the Parallel Computing Toolbox documentation.

Trailer blaze called suspicious
ORANGE Vermont State Police say a camping trailer fire Sunday in Orange is considered suspicious.
The Barre Town Fire Department was called to an unoccupied camping trailer engulfed in flames Sunday morning on Bennetts Mill Road, according to state police.
The fire was put out that evening, and nobody was injured. State police say the trailer, owned by Gordon Kidder, 67, of Orange, was valued at around $1,000.
The Vermont State Police Fire Investigation Unit and an investigator with the Division of Fire Safety went to the scene to investigate.
State police say the fire investigation team has deemed the cause of the fire undetermined but suspicious.

the most BULLISH chart pattern you will ever see.. see you at $10..
Nice and vague. the chart does look awesome but ive seen a million look like this that end up breaking down the handle and running sideways for years. Looking back you see outside indicators that made that pattern like the internet bubblr or 2008 mortgage crisis so its not a lock. Charts tell the past not the future. WE NEED A CATALYST TO MAKE THE CHART FACT FROM HERE. We should still go up into oct and into christmas and with good earnings. It looks like we go up the old fashioned way "WE EARN IT" and we will patients.
Dont forget the market has been red hot we are due for a correction. If that happens nokia and all stocks get a fear haircut of at least 15% prbably more if your company was in a stressful position before the correction starts. Guess what we are in a stressed situation at nokia. IM LONG By the way just got my eyes wide open.
That is the fundamental problem with technical analysis, the breakouts that are supposed to occur don't, at best you have a 50% chance that the pattern will break like they are supposed to, but at best 50% chance. Best to look at longer term charts if you are using that.
agree ........
You can see a $10.00 price indication in that chart? Man, you're good!
more and more this is looking to be the case... let's hope we break out soon (and not in october)

From LvB's X: Computer generated music is a source of musical inspiration and ideas. Even if you aren't too familiar with computers, or you don't play a piano, guitar or create your own song in your own way. Virtual Music Composer produces its own completely new musical themes. Just listen to the music. Get ideas and be inspired. Musical tastes as personal preferences are mostly too subjective. As such they are different from each other. With regards to the subject matter, the estimation of a program efficiency is not a question about anyone's musical taste. All that counts is the amount of time you spend on listening to. Virtual Music Composer works on the basis "Just listen to the music". There's no doubt that everyone's favorite song comes soon or later.

Sure, a browser is someone who, when a sales clerk asks, "Can I help you find anything?" replies with, "No, thank you. I'm just browsing." But that's not the kind of browser we want to talk about today.
Instead, we're going to talk about the browser on your computer. The one you use to browse the world wide web. Even if you've already used it a thousand times (or more), there may be a few features you don't fully understand. So let's increase that understanding.
Step 1: So... what is a browser, anyway? Offer up your best definition and see if anyone can top it. Then give a few examples. What browsers do you know? Which one is the best? Why?
Step 2: Let's take a look at the anatomy of a browser, using this handy handout called (what else?) the "Anatomy of a Browser." Open up the browser on your computer and compare it. Then take a few minutes to fill out the sheet.
Step 3: As a class, walk through each of the features of a browser. During the discussion, go ahead and try out each features on your browser as you discuss it.
When you get to bookmarks, be sure to bookmark Shmoop's Digital Literacy homepage (www.shmoop.com/teachers/digital-literacy/), so you can easily access it every class period.
Now you're ready to browse the Internet... which means you're going to have to deal with pop-up ads.
Step 4: Are you familiar with pop-up ads? If so, help your classmates explain what they are (and why they're annoying).
Step 5: Now let's learn how to block pop-up ads. When your instructor asks you to, click the link for instructions on blocking pop-ups in the browser you're using:
Step 6: Once you've followed the instructions, test your work on this sketchy website loaded with pop-ups: Surf the Channel. How did you do? Did you block the pop-up ad?
