Using their on-line process, my husband and I each filled out their application, uploaded a copy of our existing credit card mileage balances and reserved the miles and then fulfilled the minimum $charge requirement within the time limit. There was nothing else in the instructions that we failed to fulfill.
My husband got the miles credited to his account 6 months later after over 10 phone calls complaining about their delay.
After 7 months of complaining, I have just now been told by Capital One that I missed the last step which none of us can find in any of the instructions. My husband and I both reserved the miles, and met all the requirements, they are now saying there was some other step I didn't follow. So they are denying the "woman" the benefit of the contract they induced me to fully perform.
I was suspicious of Capital One anyway so we never charged more on their cards that what was required, until we knew they were a legit, honorable company. Joke is on these frauds. Our main credit card is in my name, not my husband. We charged more than $50,000 over the last 9 months. But not on their card. Never will now. They are liars and they breached their contract with me.
I think the marauding Vikings in their ads are their actual board of directors or senior management. Their ads are a clear portrayal of where they base their ethics--classic thieves and plunderers.

DO NOT break your mirror(s)
Just a tidbit of information for those who might be interested. I had a '09 Big Horn that I broke a mirror on that wasn't warranty and it cost me $280(incl. tax) for a new one which I installed myself. Fast forward to current day...I now have a '13 Sport C/C and of course it has the body color, heated, auto-dimming, power folding mirrors. Anyhoo...my drivers side mirror needed warranty replacement and I happened to see the service dept invoice for the new one and it said $576 just for one mirror!!!:Wow1: When I expressed my shock to the service writer he said, "that's what WE pay for warranty replacement, If YOU had to pay for it out of YOUR pocket, non-warranty, it would cost you about $780":SHOCKED:
So my recommendation would be....DON'T BREAK YOUR MIRRORS:str:
If I do, I'll be on here looking to sell one of my kidneys!
ya..learn how to drive. don't break your mirror, any respectable man driving a truck won't break a mirror
on my street, you have to fold in your mirrors when you park
if the construction trucks with boards & ladders hanging out the passenger side
its the street punks taking out your mirrors with pellet guns & baseball bats
Where I live they don't break the mirrors, they just take the whole damn truck.
Broke a mirror once in a car wash, got a new heated power mirror from rock auto online for 57.00 and installed it myself ! Looks exactly the same as oem and cheaper too......
They didn't get the nickname "stealership" for no reason.
learned about this in 04, they are expensive.
WOW.....That's a lot of jack......Thanks for posting......Wonder if the dealer would give it to you for what they pay.....Good idea....Where I'm living they have been stealing the rims and tires along with tailgates from the lots of dealerships.....
Yep, I learned that lesson too... Broke my passenger side mirror backing out of the garage. I was trying not to hit my wife's jeep (she parked too close) and I wasn't watching the passenger mirror. It somehow wedged itself between the doorway and the garage door track. $550 mistake. I guess I'm not very respectable!:LOL:

Children with bad manners irritate me.
Vanessa happily married to Robert <3 already blessed with ds 6/2008 and dd 1/2010 expecting our final blessing 2/2/2012
Amen sister! My friend has a 20 month old that can put almost any kid to shame when it comes to manners. Age is NOT an excuse for disrespectful children.
Little Lloyd - Born 2/10/12 - 21 1/4 inches, 7 pounds 9.8 oz
It's even worse when those children still don't learn as they get older. I was in line to get a sandwich and two 14 or 15 year old boys barreled through the door, wrestling with each other and slammed into me! I then slammed into the counter, luckily I shielded my stomach but it was super unsettling and they didn't even apologise. If my child acts like that I swear I will send his little ass to reform school.
It irritates me too, I know too many kids like that and I just don't understand why on earth the parents allow it
Irritates the living shit out of me! What even irritates me more is it can be prevented by setting rules early on! The parent is the boss not the kid! I literally give the worst looks to the parents of those kids in the middle of the mall throwing a tantrum and hitting the floor because they didnt get something they want! Sweet Jesus really! My kid would have been smacked upside the head so fast he wouldnt have know what hit him! Pushover parents that let their kids walk all over them should be given a nice firm smack upside the head as well.
Paula & Raul
Nicholas 1/7/96~Juliana 11/5/98~Sofia 5/25/00~Jaden 12/9/03~Diego 1/6/12 (33 weeks)
TTC#6 & Final
Another valid point that should add to the why "spare the rod, spoil the child" thread...My children may have to be reminded a please or thank you here and there but NEVER would tehy disrespect and adult or act out in public...they know consequences! lol evein if it is simply making my active 11 year old hold hands with me through walmart :) It only had to happen once...lol
Vanessa happily married to Robert <3 already blessed with ds 6/2008 and dd 1/2010 expecting our final blessing 2/2/2012
This irritates me too. I have made sure my DD started saying please and thank you as soon as she started talking. It melted my heart when she started saying them on her own and using them appropriately. I get on DH when he doesn't use manners around her. Also, if DD says thank you to DH and he doesn't respond she will repeat herself until he says your welcome.
I agree with PP that it all starts with the parents. I don't know how many times I hear people throughout the day that will ask for things and not say please. I mean really, how hard it is to say one extra word? I was at the grocery store the other day and the lady in front of me had a little girl probably around 3 or 4 sitting in the cart. The little girl wanted some candy and was trying to tell the lady what she wanted by screaming at her. I was so irritated. If that would have been my daughter talking to me that way there is no way she would have gotten any candy at all.
Amy ~Married to Travis 9/11/04~
Cassidy Jo- 5/28/09
Tanner Ross 2/20/12
AGREE!!!! I think a lot of parents have just checked out. I am so sick of their kids running around like crazies and I'M supposed to be the one to make sure they're not getting hurt?!??!?
Married 2/26/2005
<3 this post!!! My MIL says that we are too hard on our 15 month old, but this little man is smart!
He already knows that we sit on furniture, not jump/walk-on or run-on AND we've taught him how to put his milk/water cup on the end tables when he is finished! I don't even have to tell him anyone- he just does it!
For me I see it as a step in the right direction...sit on them early so you are not wanting to kill yourself when they are 4-5yrs old! Or older for some parents!

Empty Netter Assists - 05-26-12
-Blackhawks executive and former Penguins coach Scotty Bowman (right) received the Order of Canada.
-Happy 60th birthday to former Penguins goaltender Pat Riggin. Acquired midway through the 1986-87 season in a deal which sent Roberto Romano to the Bruins, Riggin spent parts of the final two seasons of his NHL career with the Penguins. He appeared in 17 games for the 1986-87 Penguins and had a record of 8-6-3. The following season, he played in 22 games and went 7-8-4. He was released in the 1988 offseason. In 39 games with the Penguins, he had a 15-14-7 record with a 3.64 goals against average and .875 save percentage.
-Happy 49th birthday to former Penguins defenseman Ron Meighan. Acquired early in the 1982-83 season along with Anders Hakansson and a draft pick in a deal which sent George Ferguson and a draft pick to the North Stars, Meighan's Penguins career amounted to 41 games and eight points that campaign. After spending the next season with the Penguins' AHL affiliate in Baltimore, Meighan was released.
Playoff Stuff
Rangers - Devils
-Adam Henrique's overtime goal gave the Devils a series-clinching 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 6. Ily Kovalchuk added a goal and and an assist for New Jersey while teammate Martin Brodeur made 33 saves. Ryan McDonagh recorded two assists for New York. New Jersey won the series, 4-2.
-Henrique's goal and handshake line:
{youtube width="465" height="266"}p0PJ08Z8m2o{/youtube}
-"I was just Johnny on the spot on that one. It was just sitting there. I couldn't see the puck, I knew it was down there, I was just praying it was going to come under his pad. That's a big one, that's one you dream about." - Henrique on the goal.
-"It's a bad feeling when you feel all the guys on top of you, behind you. You just hope for a whistle and a faceoff, but unfortunately, we didn't get it." - Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist on Henrique's goal.
-Pass of the Night: Check out this pass from New Jersey's Dainius Zubrus to set up Ilya Kovalchuk on the power play:
{youtube width="465" height="266"}tVNWjX7BdLs{/youtube}
-Check out the effort by New York's Ryan McDonagh to set up former Penguins forward Ruslan Fedotenko for a goal:
{youtube width="465" height="266"}m-NZsCUYAJ4{/youtube}
-Check out this nasty slash from New York's Brandon Prust against New Jersey's Travis Zajac:
{youtube width="465" height="266"}FigpaoLPeHo{/youtube}
-"It's the worst feeling you can feel, especially an overtime loss like that. Just like that, your season's over." - Rangers captain Ryan Callahan.
-Handshake lines:
-Lundqvist and Brodeur exchanging pleasantries:
-Devils captain Zach Parise "accepting" the Prince of Wales Trophy:
-"I wanted to touch it, but the majority said no. So that's fine with me." - Parise on taking a vote on whether or not he should have held the trophy.
-Happy times for the Devils. Not so much for the Rangers:
-Cool Photo of the Night: All hell breaking loose in the Rangers' crease:
-Happy times for Kovalchuk:
-Happy times for the Devils:
-Brodeur was all over this puck:
-New York's Brian Boyle > New Jersey's Peter Harrold:
-"There's only one guy that likes beating the Rangers more than Marty and that's Lou." - Devils coach Peter DeBoer on Brodeur and general manager Lou Lamoriello.
-"(The Kings) have been really good on the road the whole playoffs, but I don't think they've faced a team like us." - Kovalchuk.
-"It's actually a little weird that the two teams that I was to choose from are going to face (each other) in the Finals, but I'm pretty sure I made the right decision and I can't wait to play those games." - Kovalchuk on facing the Kings, the team he rejected as a free agent in 2010.
-Hockey Night in Canada's opening montage:{youtube width="465" height="266"}EJW-2FeifK4{/youtube}
-Who ever wins the Stanley Cup will be the lowest-seeded team to do so since the NHL went to a 1 through 8 format in 1994. The Devils are the eighth seed while the Devils are the sixth. The 1995 Devils (fifth seed) hold the record.
-It's been a long, strange 45 years for Kings fans.
-Kings forward Simon Gagne resumed practicing for the first time since suffering a concussion in December.
Non-Playoff Stuff
Northeast Division
-The Senators signed forwards Jakub Culek, a third-round pick in 2010, and Darren Kramer, a sixth-round pick in 2011, to three-year entry-level contracts.
-The Canadiens hired Rick Dudley, formerly an executive with the Maple Leafs, as assistant general manager.
Central Division
-It turns out Predators defenseman and former Penguin Hal Gill (right) finished the season with a broken tibia.
Pacific Division
-Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith wants the team to bring back goaltending coach Sean Burke.
Adams Division
-Former Red Wings/Senators/Sabres/Blackhawks goaltender Dominik Hasek wants to make a comeback at age 47?
-"His message to players is that NHL owners are going to come at us with Ginsu knives on the end of samurai swords. The owners are going to come hard and if the players don't put their hands up, they will end up decapitated." - Player agent Mike Liut on the message NHLPA head Donald Fehr has been sharing with players.

Chicago Tribune
Everybody loves free money, and you might be able to get some if you're willing to treasure hunt on one of the many lists of unclaimed property.
Typically, unclaimed money originates at financial institutions and other companies. You might have money coming to you because of old bank accounts, uncashed paychecks, unreturned utility company deposits, even inheritances you didn't know about. Most unclaimed money is turned over to state treasuries to keep until you claim it. The good news is it is quick and easy to discover whether you are owed money. Even if you don't find your name on a list, searching your surname might turn up missing property for a soon-to-be-grateful relative.
State treasuries alone are safeguarding 117 million instances of unclaimed money, worth about $33 billion, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, or NAUPA.
The Washington State Department of Revenue site is at claimyourcash.org/
Here's what you need to know and other places you should go to search for your unclaimed cash:
•Missingmoney.com is a combined database of many unclaimed property lists in the United States.
NAUPA provides links to state unclaimed-property Web sites at unclaimed.org. Some state sites include lost property not listed on Missingmoney.com. More important, some big states, such as California, New York and Illinois, are not on Missingmoney.com. Check any state in which you might be owed money, said John Gabriel, president of NAUPA.
Tax returns: Last year, more than 100,000 taxpayers were collectively owed $123.5 million, or an average of $1,148, said Sue Hales, an Internal Revenue Service spokeswoman. The IRS may owe you money for two main reasons: Your refund couldn't be delivered to you (maybe you moved), or you didn't file in the first place. Some 1.4 million people failed to file tax returns in recent years to claim refunds totaling an estimated $1.3 billion, Hales said. After three years, the government keeps your refund.
Go to irs.gov, click on the link to "Where's My Refund?" provide your Social Security number or taxpayer ID, your filing status and the exact dollar amount of your refund.
Savings bonds: Search treasuryhunt.gov for U.S. savings bonds and marketable securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds. For example, you can search for matured E and EE savings bonds issued after 1974 that are no longer earning interest. And you can search for interest payments you might be entitled to from H or HH savings bonds, said Treasury spokeswoman Joyce Harris. You will have to provide a Social Security number or employer identification number to search. The site also has downloadable forms for claiming lost, stolen or destroyed bonds.
Mortgage-related funds: If you paid off a mortgage early that was backed by the Federal Housing Administration, you could be eligible to get back part of an insurance premium you paid in advance. Paying a loan early means you might have sold the house or refinanced to a non-FHA loan, for example. The refund is automatic and seamless for 75 percent of homeowners. But if the bank doesn't correctly report your contact information to the government, you might not get that refund, according to an FHA spokesman. To check for a refund, check tinyurl.com/dhjyl or write to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, P.O. Box 23699, Washington, DC 20026-3699. You will need your FHA case number.
Pensions: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. has a "missing participants" service at search.pbgc.gov. There, you can determine whether you are owed benefits from a corporate pension plan that was closed or taken over by the PBGC. You also can track down benefits if you are a survivor of a person who should be drawing the pension. This refers to the older type of defined-benefit pensions, not 401(k)-type plans.
Failed banks: If you have reason to believe that you or a relative has unclaimed money from a bank failure during the end of the savings-and-loan crisis 20 years ago, check the online database at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. at www2.fdic.gov/funds/. It covers deposits from Jan. 1, 1989, to June 28, 1993.

These look great - to my untrained eye (but they are in the process of being a little more trained...) I also especially like the one with the flowers. You surely have a wonderful choice of backgrounds for your photos!

I have a very strange bug:
Whenever I put products into my cart that sum up to a total of more than 15, the shipping costs get displayed as 0,00 (only in the shopping cart widget). I made SOME changes to the code a while ago, so this bug could be produced by myself.
Where could this bug come from and how can it be fixed?
Any suggestions? I'm not very good at PHP...

Two percent of the population has psoriasis. It's a chronic skin condition that affects about five million Americans.
Kevin Copeland is a physical therapist, but when his psoriasis becomes inflamed, it's difficult to work.
"When I'm working with a patient, and if I have to get on my knees on the mat, it's incredibly painful. You really do have some pretty thick patches down here don't you?" Kevin says.
Patches of psoriasis cover Kevin's legs and knees. You can see the thick, silvery scales. That's one of the signs of psoriasis. Alan Menter is chief of dermatology at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas.
"Scaly areas that are fairly symmetrical, in other words, what you have on one side you have on the other side involving the classic areas like the scalp, the elbows, the knees, you can almost guarantee that the patient has psoriasis," says Alan.
With psoriasis, skin cells multiply up to ten times faster than normal. As underlying cells reach the skin's surface and die, they build up causing scaly patches. No one knows who will get psoriasis, but it is heredity. Outbreaks can be triggered by stress or infection.
Kevin has tried dozens of treatments. Now he's hoping a topical gel will clear his psoriasis and allow him to work pain free.

This 0844 Sky telephone number has been provided in order to put you directly in touch with Sky Customer Services. Once there, their helpful customer service operators will happily handle any queries you might have regarding Sky TV, Sky Fibre, Sky Broadband or any of the other fantastic Sky services. All our 0844 Sky telephone numbers cost just 7p per minute plus your phone companies' access charge. Do note that we are not affiliated with this or any company listed on this website.
We're committed to offering the best value for money Direct Dial Directory Service in the UK, and as such we use the extremely affordable 0844 telephone numbers. Many of the numbers we list are hard to find in the public domain, so if you're looking to sign up for Sky TV, move house, take up Sky Broadband or discuss any other matter with the pay-tv giant, get on the telephone and use our fantastic 0844 number.
Alternatively, you can visit the Sky website directly by clicking Sky.
Getting in touch with Sky can sometimes feel like a real hassle. The company don't make it easy for you to find their contact details and when you do find them, you'll find yourself on an automated telephone service. That's why we want to cut through all the exhaustion and put you directly in touch with Sky customer services. Our telephone number for Sky is a cost effective and fast phone number that connects you directly to Sky's customer service department at the very same price as the official number, making it a great deal for you.
As a company, we believe that everybody should have access to these essential Sky customer service contact numbers, and as such we've prominently placed this number at the top of the page. Our company ethos also states that these telephone numbers shouldn't cost the earth, so you can get your service issues sorted out without any hassle and no undue stress on your bank account.
Do note though, if you're intending to use our telephone service, you should be aged 18 or over and have the bill payers' permission.
It's fair to say that there's countless reasons why a customer might want to get ahold of the Sky phone number. Once you've tried to use their customer service page, you'll agree that it's far from the most useful resource on the Internet.
Whether it's because you'd like to upgrade your Sky TV package, require help understanding a bill, find out what's wrong with your Sky Fibre broadband or, indeed, any other reason, the fastest and simplest method is always getting on the phone to Sky and getting your problem solved directly. It's a service that the company have offered for years, but their automated services line is far from ideal if you're in a hurry. That's why we've source only direct lines to the customer services department so you don't have to sit around pushing buttons trying to get through to a real person.
It's no secret that when you do get through to Sky's customer service line you can encounter some problems. Every member of Sky's customer service team is trained to help you, of course, but they're also there to try to and sell you more services. That's great if you rang up to upgrade your Sky TV package, but not so great if you've got any other issues.
One of our top tips is regarding cancellation. Typically if you want to cancel your service, Sky TV operators will spend a long time on the phone trying to convince you to stay and offering more competitive deals. If you just want to cancel your subscription, tell Sky you're moving out of the country. That will get your subscriptions cancelled without any further hassle.
Another tip is to arrive on the Sky TV line with everything you need to hand. If you're rummaging around looking for documents and slips of paper, you'll be costing yourself not just time but money too.
Launched in 1990, the size and shape of Sky has changed on an almost annual basis. From its early days as the product of a merger between Sky Television (owned by Rupert Murdoch) and British Satellite Broadcasting (the first company to get a satellite license for the UK), BskyB lived a somewhat difficult life. Customers weren't thick on the ground and the infrastructure required to get the UK ready for satellite broadcasting simply wasn't there, leading to a long cycle of losses for the businesses, at one point losing around £10,000,000 a week.
Sam Chisholm was appointed CEO of Sky TV and significant cuts were made to the business in order to give it a viable shape, slashing employee numbers to less than a thousand and condensing the nine channels it had down to give. One year later, losses were down to £1.5 million a week and in March 1992, the company posted its very first profit. Since then, Sky have grown into Europe's largest pay-tv company, serving up high quality drama, comedy, movies and sports to over 20 million subscribers in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Italy. They even have their own broadband services and home telephone service, along with a soon to be launched mobile telephone network.
This growth has come partly because of their focus on the latest and greatest technologies. In their time, Sky have brought pioneering efforts in 3D Sky TV and HD, and will soon launch a 4K box which will bring unprecedented levels of detail into the homes of millions of people. Indeed, that's not the only thing which makes Sky TV great, because thanks to their work with the WWF on their sustainable rainforest initiative and the Sky Academy, they're also helping to make the world a better place.
Those efforts have seen them pick up sustainable business awards in the last few years, proving that Sky is indeed a company with a conscience about how it operates. The company have also won awards for their efforts in customer service. Their telephone lines are consistently amongst the most informative and efficient of any of the big pay TV services suppliers and customers are quick to report what a fine service they operate.

1). Tell me it is not a disgraceful statement to make - tell me another 'top 4' manager that would make it - never mind a Liverpool manager.
2). Can you believe who is and who is not fit anymore at Liverpool - we seem to get excuses wheeled out who is actually available anymore - his team selections are so random.
3). The continual excuse about poor old Rafa not being able to sign the players he wants : where is the evidence for this.
Was Crouch not better than Voronin
Was Pennant not better than Babel
Was Keane not better than N'Gog (although I would have preffered him to be playing than Voronin yesterday).
I could go on....
4). Does he or his scouting network not have the 'nouse' to pick up good quality players at less than top wack prices - does he not know more than the tabloids on who and who isn't a good player ?
5). He has been there for 5 years - is it not a reasonable assumption tho make that if he had signed a 'good' 17 year old back at the beggining of his tenure we'd now have a crop of excellent 23 year olds pushing for the 1st team ?
I know you are a loyal supporter of Benitez, but the time to cut your losses has to come soon - the price of buying Benitez off is no more than 10% of what he has spent on players.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Thing is with Pennant, Crouch.. at the time their was a lot of rotation both players wanted 1st team football in every game.
Rafa then chsnged his tactics to have 1 striker up by himself so Crouch wasn't happy to be left on the bench just in case Torres was injured / rested.. On occasion they played as a duo and i thought they were very effective.
Pennant yes probably was better than Babel as a winger.
Babel was originally bought as a striker as was Kuyt. Then they both became wingers cos we had no proper wingers. I share your point on Pennant especially maybe we should've kept him..

I posted the same interview twice on your board and the only one who seems to agree with Rafa is his very own brown nose Dave Steer, no offence mate but really your own fans telling you that enough is enough and he can't be defended after this statement. SAF always tells the press and fans that at the very least he wants the PL and the rest are a bonus, can you imagine if he says to the press that he has no need to win trophies at Old Trafford to keep his job. Not only would the press have him but the board and the fans would tell him that he has got that wrong and he HAS TO WIN TROPHIES.
Shanks would be turrning in his grave if he could see this from Rafa, Remember first is everything and second is nowhere.

Re; Q5: He did sign Paul Anderson & Jack Hobbs early on in his time at the club. They were both said to be quality young players but anderson got sold and hobbs was overlooked for the greek bloke.
Not all young players make it but we have had none in his time. Babel is a classic example, i had seen him for Ajax & holland previous to him signing and he looked good but he just looks a bad player now, not worth 12 million by a long shot.

arnold, i too was expecting to see something from these two by now, but they obviously havent been good enough to make the grade. The same goes for adam hamill who i think is now at barnsley.
But with regards to hobbs, i would rather see him than the greek bloke, and therefore save the 1-2 mill that was spent on him, not to mention his wages. Surely Hobbs' wages would have been nowhere near greekys.

Bill that is a lot of questions, so I suppose someone is going to have a go at me for writing long posts if I try to answer them. But here goes:
1 - Statement is not defensible, simple as that. My only assumption is that quotes were taken out of context and he was saying that silverware is not the only measure of progress. But I've not seen the full transcript (if anyone has it I'd like to see it), and not going to make excuses on that front.
2 - I assume your making a claim that the injury problems are not real? It's a heck of a charge, as its not just Rafa your going after, but the integrity of our team Doc (who's been with us much longer than Rafa), the full medical team, the coaches, and the integrity of some of our top players.
3 - Lets take each one at a time:
i) Crouch: Yes better than Voronin, but not getting regular starts at Spurs, and is currently second fiddle to Heskey in the England set up, so not sure he'd do us that much good any more. But more importantly he wanted out; it was not Rafa's choice to sell him. But faced with an unhappy player, he cashed in which helped pay for Riera, who I would rate a better player.
ii) Pennant vs. Babel, now that is an interesting one. Personally I always rated Pennant. He was not top draw, but was very lively. For me his biggest problem was he was one dimensional, and not much of a threat to cut inside for a shot, but instead always wanted to cross it. Babel is the opposite. So I don't know who is better, but a year ago I would have also picked Babel. Pennant was what he was, and not getting any better, while Babel at least had the potential for something more, even if he's yet to realize that potential.
iii) Keane vs N'Gog. Guessing you did not see the highlights of the Spurs match? N'Gog is a 19 year old who may not get any better than he is now, but could with experience become a very good player. Keane is supposed to be a seasoned professional who can deliver right now. He did not deliver for us over half a season last season, and lets be frank is not delivering for Spurs either.
4 - Riena, Alonso, Garcia, Riera, Masch, Kuyt, Skrtel, Agger, & Yossi. All I believe sub 20M, some very much under that mark. All very good players for us I'd argue, and even those who've moved on provided us with a sizable profit. So I'd say while scouting can always improve, the above would suggest it's not broken.
5 - This is something he failed in, or at least has so far. But I don't think it's from a lack of trying, and if your honest think you'll admit what you're asking for is not exactly easy. I mean, how many kids has Wenger gone through, and how long has it taken him?

Just want to add to one of your points dsteer. The team doctor. This man is one the best around. Two incidents spring to mind. The first is cisse vs blackburn where he is credited with saving cisse from having if leg amputated due to his quick work on and off the pitch in dealing with the leg break. Apparenty the doctors in the hopsital said that if it was for him cisse wouldn't have a leg left. Secondly, i believe alan smith also credits him with helping to save his leg also when he dislocated his ankle (i think it was dislocation?)
If this man says someone is injured, then i believe him!
Good answers/discussion...
The one I'll debate is no 2).
It's not a case of accusing people of having no integrity (although if you want to class it as that then I have no problem) - I do accuse him of maintaining his own interests above the club/supporters.
He knows full well if he can scrape us through the league rounds of the CL - he can generate a bit of cash to keep the Yanks happy & a bit of superficial euphoria (aka the 'Istanbul' effect) to placate some of the supporters.
To be honest I & no one else knows who is ill/injured and the team selection .v. Fulham was all to reminicent of the team selection made .v. Reading a couple of years ago - he needed a result in Europe to save his skin then - and it just so happens we need a result on Wednesday too.
Quote from Dave Steer " Statement is not defensible, simple as that. My only assumption is that quotes were taken out of context and he was saying that silverware is not the only measure of progress. But I've not seen the full transcript (if anyone has it I'd like to see it), and not going to make excuses on that front."
Ok well take your pick from this lot and if they have ALL misquoted him no doubt his lawyer will be busy getting the papers served as he sues the lot of them and me included.
Happy reading Dave and after this I will ask you to answer me one question, Why is it you are the only one defending Rafa whilst avoiding all your fellow Liverpools fans questions about Rafa.PS note I am not name calling because you may cry again.

The Laplace transform of a function f(t) is defined as
while the inverse Laplace transform (ILT) of f(s) is
where c is a real number selected so that all singularities of f(s) are to the left of the line s = c. The notation L[f] indicates the Laplace transform of f at s. Similarly, L–1[f] is the ILT of f at t.
The Laplace transform has many applications including the solution of ordinary differential equations/initial value problems. Consider the resistance-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit below.
Let Rj and Ij, j = 1, 2, 3 be resistances (measured in ohms) and currents (amperes), respectively; L be inductance (henrys), and C be capacitance (farads); E(t) be the electromotive force, and Q(t) be the charge.
By applying Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, Ohm's Law, and Faraday's Law, you can arrive at the following system of simultaneous ordinary differential equations.
Solve this system of differential equations using
First treat the Rj, L, and
C as (unknown) real constants and then supply values later on in the
clear E syms R1 R2 R3 L C real syms I1(t) Q(t) s dI1(t) = diff(I1(t), t); dQ(t) = diff(Q(t),t); E(t) = sin(t); % Voltage eq1(t) = dI1(t) + R2*dQ(t)/L - (R2 - R1)*I1(t)/L; eq2(t) = dQ(t) - (E(t) - Q/C)/(R2 + R3) - R2*I1(t)/(R2 + R3);
At this point, you have constructed the equations in the MATLAB® workspace.
An approach to solving the differential equations is to apply the
Laplace transform, which you will apply to
eq1(t) and
eq1(t) and
L1(t) = laplace(eq1,t,s) L2(t) = laplace(eq2,t,s)
L1(t) = s*laplace(I1(t), t, s) - I1(0) + ((R1 - R2)*laplace(I1(t), t, s))/L - (R2*(Q(0) - s*laplace(Q(t), t, s)))/L L2(t) = s*laplace(Q(t), t, s) - Q(0) - (R2*laplace(I1(t), t, s))/(R2 + R3) - (C/(s^2 + 1) - laplace(Q(t), t, s))/(C*(R2 + R3))
Now you need to solve the system of equations
L2 = 0 for
laplace(I1(t),t,s) and
the Laplace transforms of I1 and Q,
respectively. To do this, make a series of substitutions. For the
purposes of this example, use the quantities R1
= 4 Ω (ohms), R2
1/4 farads, L = 1.6 H (henrys), I1(0) = 15 A (amperes), and Q(0) = 2 A*sec.
Substituting these values in
syms LI1 LQ NI1 = subs(L1(t),{R1,R2,R3,L,C,I1(0),Q(0)}, ... {4,2,3,1.6,1/4,15,2})
NI1 = s*laplace(I1(t), t, s) + (5*s*laplace(Q(t), t, s))/4 + (5*laplace(I1(t), t, s))/4 - 35/2
The substitution
NQ = subs(L2,{R1,R2,R3,L,C,I1(0),Q(0)},{4,2,3,1.6,1/4,15,2})
NQ(t) = s*laplace(Q(t), t, s) - 1/(5*(s^2 + 1)) -... (2*laplace(I1(t), t, s))/5 + (4*laplace(Q(t), t, s))/5 - 2
To solve for
laplace(I1(t),t,s) and
make a final pair of substitutions. First, replace the strings
laplace(I1(t),t,s) and
laplace(Q(t),t,s) by
sym objects
LI1 and
NI1 = subs(NI1,{laplace(I1(t),t,s),laplace(Q(t),t,s)},{LI1,LQ})
to obtain
NI1 = (5*LI1)/4 + LI1*s + (5*LQ*s)/4 - 35/2
Collecting terms
NI1 = collect(NI1,LI1)
NI1 = (s + 5/4)*LI1 + (5*LQ*s)/4 - 35/2
A similar string substitution
NQ = ... subs(NQ,{laplace(I1(t),t,s), laplace(Q(t),t,s)}, {LI1,LQ})
NQ(t) = (4*LQ)/5 - (2*LI1)/5 + LQ*s - 1/(5*(s^2 + 1)) - 2
which, after collecting terms,
NQ = collect(NQ,LQ)
NQ(t) = (s + 4/5)*LQ - (2*LI1)/5 - 1/(5*(s^2 + 1)) - 2
Now, solving for
LI1 and
[LI1, LQ] = solve(NI1, NQ, LI1, LQ)
you obtain
LI1 = (5*(60*s^3 + 56*s^2 + 59*s + 56))/((s^2 + 1)*(20*s^2 + 51*s + 20)) LQ = (40*s^3 + 190*s^2 + 44*s + 195)/((s^2 + 1)*(20*s^2 + 51*s + 20))
To recover
I1 and
Q, compute
the inverse Laplace transform of
LI1 and
I1 = ilaplace(LI1, s, t)
I1 = 15*exp(-(51*t)/40)*(cosh((1001^(1/2)*t)/40) -... (293*1001^(1/2)*sinh((1001^(1/2)*t)/40))/21879) - (5*sin(t))/51
Q = ilaplace(LQ, s, t)
Q = (4*sin(t))/51 - (5*cos(t))/51 +... (107*exp(-(51*t)/40)*(cosh((1001^(1/2)*t)/40) +... (2039*1001^(1/2)*sinh((1001^(1/2)*t)/40))/15301))/51
Now plot the current
I1(t) and charge
Q(t) in
two different time domains, 0 ≤
t ≤ 10 and 5 ≤
t ≤
25. The following statements generate the desired plots.
subplot(2,2,1) fplot(I1,[0,10]) title('Current') ylabel('I1(t)') xlabel('t') grid subplot(2,2,2) fplot(Q,[0,10]) title('Charge') ylabel('Q(t)') xlabel('t') grid subplot(2,2,3) fplot(I1,[5,25]) title('Current') ylabel('I1(t)') xlabel('t') grid text(7,0.25,'Transient') text(16,0.125,'Steady State') subplot(2,2,4) fplot(Q,[5,25]) title('Charge') ylabel('Q(t)') xlabel('t') grid text(7,0.25,'Transient') text(15,0.16,'Steady State')
Note that the circuit's behavior, which appears to be exponential decay in the short term, turns out to be oscillatory in the long term. The apparent discrepancy arises because the circuit's behavior actually has two components: an exponential part that decays rapidly (the "transient" component) and an oscillatory part that persists (the "steady-state" component).

Crocus 'Ruby Giant'A superbly weather resistant variety which can be easily naturalised in grass. Crocus 'Ruby Giant' is an early cultivar blooming from as early as February. A fabulous display of purple flowers rise above slender, strap-like foliage. The large blooms are supported on sturdy stems, ensuring that they remain upright throughout the flowering period. Like all crocus, this variety will provide valuable nectar for pollinating insects in early spring. Bulb size 5/7. Height: 10cm (4"). Spread: 5cm (2"). More info
Crocus 'Flower Record'Large, voluptuous goblets of deepest purple adorn this popular crocus in early spring. Perfect for planting in rockeries, borders, or growing in large groups beneath trees and shrubs, Crocus 'Flower Record' also makes a fabulous addition to containers and window boxes for a burst of colour when much of the garden is still dormant. This strong, robust variety is also ideal for naturalising in lawns. Bulb size 6/7. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 5cm (2").

First of all thanks for a nice plugin which is very useful. There is a problem. I have 10 wordpress sites where I installed this plugin for and because of the cookie name is the same, one site's popunder affects other sites also.
There should be an option to change cookie name to different or your plugin automatically should make unique name like domain.tld_acx_popunder instead of having the name acx_popunder everywhere.

I remember seeing "Time Bandits" here.
This place still does concert. Earlier this year I say Tributosauras Plays Queen and it was a good show. The theater appeared to be in great shape.
Sad to hear that it's been demolished.
THe only time I was here was when I saw "Silence of the Lambs".
Interesting plan to convert this former movie house into a storage facility. It looks like the building's basic shape will be retained. As I've said before, this was a theater that should have done well.
From the photos, wow, the C-O logo lasted until at least 2009 (based upon "17 Again's" release date! Is that logo stil there?

Wow, the C-O logo lasted until at least 2009 (based upon "17 Again's" release date! Is that logo stil there?
Has anything happened with this site? A freind of mine once lived in Bridgeview and he said the theater always seemed to do good business.
I don't have any. The photos I've seen are from books & magazines.
The strip mall that this cinema is/was in has just undergone some serious renovations.
I just noticed that both the Woods and the United Artists were showing Jack Nicholson films.
If you look at the structure to the right of the theater in the above photo, you'll see that it was Highland Applicances.
I believe that was the forerunner to the old Highland Superstores appliance chain.
It's interesting that in his post of Sep. 7, 2009 Cinemark Fan said, "I assume that the screens at 600 North Michigan might be gone by this time (I may be wrong though) And if that's the case, the seating capacity at the River East alone won't be enough to handle the volume of people who go see movies."
Fortunately that hasn't happened as AMC just completed some renovatios to the 600 North.
'…also the Carnegie Theatre had exclusive Chicago premiere runs of "Young Frankenstein" and "Silent Movie".'
And as I vaguely recall, "Monty Pyhton & The Holy Grail" made its Chicago debut here.
The above states that the LV was previously operated by Brotman & Sherman Theaters. I thought Cineplex-Odeon built and originally operated this theatre.
I like the artists' rendition shown here.
I'd love to see photogaphs of this place.
Nine years—that's a very short lifespan for a theater.
According to this theater's website, effective September 26, 2014, it is now a Carmike Cinema.
I saw some of the photos of this place.
It reminds me a little of the now-demolished Civic Arena in Pittsburgh.
Also the Eddie Bauer store that occupied the first 2 or 3 floors of the building has closed. Shame too because I really enjoyed shopping there.
Are they doing renovations to this theater? I noticed recently, they've been only showing 3 or 4 movies. And the movie times are not staggered as if they're playing om 2 or 3 screens.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/eddie-chicago-railfan/13983537793/ in all its sadness.
The Maurice Lennel Cookie Company, which was just down the street from the Norridge Theatre, was recently demolished.
I wonder if a similar fate awaits the Norridge.
Is anything happening with this theater?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Young athletes ranging in age from 5 to 12 met at the Main Post Polo Field on a hot and steamy Saturday morning to show off their fitness skills at the 11th Annual Armed Services YMCA Kids' Olympics.
Before the competition, the children recited the Pledge of Allegiance and warmed up with stretches.
Family members cheered their favorite competitors on during events such as the obstacle course, crabwalk, softball throw, jump-rope, sit-ups, pushups, shuttle run and a 25-50-100 meter combined dash.
"(This event) is all about sportsmanship, health and fitness," said Lynne Grates, ASYMCA executive director. Todd and Angie Mansfield, volunteers and ASYMCA board members, agree. "This gives the kids a good time and a workout," said Todd.
Every child receives a T-shirt and participation medal, along with other medals they may win in each of the events.
Local businesses like Pizza Hut, Picerne Military Housing and Sandhills Pediatric and Family Dentistry also came out to volunteer and help with the program.
"We like to help out with the community," said Yuasmine Diaz, Sandhills Pediatric and Family Dentistry. The business brought T-shirts and Sandy the Tooth to the event.
At the push-up station, Dara Alligood, 12, and Madison Bayne, 10, enjoyed a friendly competition to see who could do the most push-ups in a minute. Alligood completed 56 airborne pushups, said her father, Sgt. 1st Class Jesse English, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 2nd Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.
"(Dara) is in such good shape, she can beat me on pull-ups," he said. English and his wife, Amy, encourage Dara in everything she does, including gymnastics where she is a platinum gymnast at Omega School of Gymnastics in Fayetteville.
Madison, also a gymnast, has a competition with her coach in school, said Sgt. 1st Class Joe Bayne, with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 16th Military Police Brigade. "She's done 149 push-ups but not timed," said Bayne.
The two gymnasts are friends and frequently push each other to succeed, said English.
Staff Sgt. John Sidbury from Company E., 230th Brigade Support Battalion, based in Kinston, N.C., brought his son, Mysaun Vaughn, 10, to participate in the Kids' Olympics. Sidbury plans to eventually move to Fayetteville and wanted his son to get acclimatized to the area.
"It's all about getting out with the other kids and having fun. That's the main thing," Sidbury said.

Looks like the NY Bike Jumble will be down in Philly having a swap meet as well.
Check it out here.
Ok, this wedding had a special place in my heart not just because I was honored to be a groomsman, but also for the wonderful use of bicycles.
Chris and Allie's wedding made the NY time's Vows section and it's an excellent recap of how people meet, fall in love and get married, with the magical influence of two wheels.
By JOHN HARNEY
So in September 2008, when Allie Compton, an artist, connected with Chris Ryan, a punk guitarist and singer and a longtime participant in the bicycle rides organized by Critical Mass, she, too, soon found herself jumping on a bike and uninhibitedly wheeling through New York's car-clogged streets.
The setting for their meeting that September was an art exhibition, called "Democracy in America: The National Campaign†at the Park Avenue Armory. Mr. Ryan, who plays with a band called Team Spider, said, half-jokingly, that he had been invited to the event along with other members of Time's Up — an environmental advocacy group that is another of his causes — "to give some street cred or something.â€
He hadn't been there long when he noticed Ms. Compton from across the enormous room — her "bright and sunshiny face, rare in this world of cynics in New York,†he remembered.
read the entire article here.
A video from the wedding:
This year the NACCC which is pronounced like that 80's one hitters, The Knack, is short for the North American Cycle Courier Championships.
This year it's being held in Atlanta, yes they have bike messengers there, this weekend.
Here is an article found on the messenger news source: messmedia.org, dutifully maintained by Joe Hendry.
The NACCC hits Atlanta's Streets
The Examiner, October 8th, 2010
By Thomas Moore
Starting today and running through Monday the 11th, Atlanta will play host to an influx of cyclists for the North American Cycle Courier Championships (NACCC). It is a great opportunity for the city and its citizens to experience the urban cycling scene at an unprecedented scale.
First off, for those curious, the NACCC is an event showcasing the best and brightest of the courier biking scene. Traditionally, a bike courier braves the big city streets to deliver messages, parcels and pretty much anything else that needs delivering. They are famous for their rocketing through the streets of New York and San Francisco despite the heavy traffic. (A quick side note: Quicksilver, a movie from the 80s, gives a look at the messenger biker and is an awesome-in-an-80s sort of way).
The NACCC provides a venue for these messengers to show off their skills in races, track stand competitions, sprints and even some trick riding. All these skills are by-products of the typically messenger's day and have developed from necessity into a sport of its own. The NACCC are not only about supporting the new sport, but about celebrating the messenger culture that has been developing for years.
Centered on Grant Park, the NACCC will run all weekend through Columbus Day on Monday. Also, there will be a chance to check out various vendors that will be show-casing cycling and cycling-related gear. One such vendor is Stanley that will be showing off their rugged vacuum bottles. Stop by their tent, share a story and perhaps you will walk away with a bottle of your own. In addition to Stanley, there will be numerous other vendors for you to check out, talk with and perhaps purchase some gear.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, enjoy the fact that Atlanta is playing host to the NACCC and so many cyclists. As always, email me with any questions or comments and keep riding!
I apologize for not posting this sooner.

I haven't given much coverage to these big charity rides in the past but I recently found out about an awesome giveaway.
Eric and Bruce Bromberg are the restaurateurs behind the incredibly delicious Blue Ribbon restaurant chain. Oh yeah, and they're partners on a cool bowling alley in Williamsburg too. They also have a big thing for bicycles and decided to donate a whole fleet of 160 Cannondales to a 200 member "top-tier" team of their employees who will be riding involved in the
What inspired you to get involved in the NYC MS Ride? How long have you been working with the organization?
My brothers and I have loved cycling ever since we were kids. We rode in the MS Society's Northern California "Waves to Wine Ride†in 1996. For Bike MS NYC 2009 we created the Blue Ribbon/Naked Nuggets team to include our employees, who are also very passionate about the sport.
What's the story behind the amazing employee bike giveaway?
>Last year many of our employees told us they could not ride because they did not have bikes. This year we partnered with Cannondale to donate 160 Cannondale "Quick†recreational bikes to anyone on our staff that wanted to take part in the charity ride.
How did Cannondale get on board?
We are long time friends with Leigh Sorrells from Bike Express 52 Division in Danbury Connecticut. It was through this relationship that we were able to partner with Cannondale. We have long admired Cannondale and the company's small American roots. It was a dream to be able to do this with them.
What do you hope your employees will gain from this experience, at the ride and beyond?
We are hoping that the new bikes will inspire our employees to continue to lead active lifestyles. We are always looking for ways to promote more sustainable business practices, and this is a wonderful way to include everyone in that mission.
What have been your past experiences with this event? What have your employees experiences been?
Last year at 81 riders strong we raised over $30,000. It felt very rewarding to make a sizeable donation to such a worthwhile cause. This year at 200 plus members we are close to doubling that number. Seeing our employees get energized and inspired like this is incredible.
Why did you decide to form a team?
We sponsor an elite amateur team called Blue Ribbon Cycling, as well as professional rider Rob Morlock, in Race Across America, a coast-to-coast endurance race. Creating a team for our employees, whom we consider members of our family, felt like a natural next step.
How did the event go at Brooklyn Bowl?
It was awesome! Everyone received a brand-new beautiful bike, helmet, and safety instructions. A fundraiser party and silent auction followed the event, and everyone bowled with their families.
What are your future bike plans?
We are in the process of developing a television series called Tour de Food where we will combine our passion for cycling, being active, and culinary exploration.
What do you wish people asked you about why you do events like this?
Blue Ribbon participates in events like Bike MS NYC, because in our business there are things that are more important that the bottom-line. Raising money for a worthwhile cause and seeing what we can accomplish as a team are the ultimate motivations for doing an event like this.
The team is also being sponsored by Naked Nuggets.
Other Links:
Now, if working for amazingly tasty place like Blue Ribbon weren't inspiration enough, their employees now have new bicycles to get to work. I couldn't help but do some math on this…let's see 160 bikes, 200 members on the team? Do 40 people have their own bikes or is their going to be some of this going on?

Avoid selecting production database prior to test database setup/teardown
|Reported by:

|Triage Stage:
|Ready for checkin
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I am playing around with running my test suite with pytest and pytest-xdist. I would like to be able to run my tests in parallell, which would probably be a massive speedup on a decent multi-core CPU. To isolate tests properly, I am dynamically modifying the database name in the settings, to create a separate test database for each process.
However, when the test database is created, Django creates a cursor to the production database before setting up/destroying the test database. Since I am generating the database name dynamically in each process, this causes problems for me, since I do not know the name and can create it beforehand. I see no reason for doing this, so I would like to skip selecting the production database before creating/destroying the test database.
The behavior is when creating a cursor without specifying a database varies a bit across the backends:
- sqlite - this is not a problem
- mysql - it is possible to omit the database name
- postgesql - a database name must be given, but rather than choosing the production name, the default "postgesql" database can be used
- oracle - I am unable to test this since I do not have an Oracle database available
I have modified django/db/backends/creation.py to set connection.settings_dictNAME? to None instead of the production database name during creation/destroy. I also made a small change in the postgres backend to use the "postgesql" database if None is supplied.
I have run the Django test suite for sqlite, mysql and postgesql and this does not seems to cause any problems.

- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
If its possible to avoid connecting to the production DB at all for test runs, I think we should do this. Needs someone with Oracle to test the behavior there.

The test suite runs under Oracle with the patch applied.

Under PostgreSQL, is it guaranteed that all users can always connect to the postgres database? Otherwise, the patch is incorrect.
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by timo
Regarding PostgreSQL, the answer appears to be "Yes". From the PostgreSQL docs:
"The postgres database is a default database meant for use by users, utilities and third party applications."

Here's an alternative patch. Should be thoroughly reviewed!

Oracle does not support "databases" in the sense that other backends do; the NAME parameter is actually part of selecting the server you connect to. The tests worked with the patch because the patch changed the generic create_test_db function, which the Oracle backend overrides. In fact, Oracle doesn't use the TEST_NAME at all (except for printing) -- it uses a TEST_USER and TEST_TBLSPACE instead.
To summarize: On Oracle, you connect as a user to a server. There is only one "database". You cannot avoid connecting to it, AFAIK.

In my patch, then, what about subclassing nodb_connection() in the Oracle backend and returning self.connection?
comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by shai
There's no need for that, the Oracle backend already overrides _create_test_db() as well as _destroy_test_db(), so it wouldn't use nodb_connection().
On point that rises, though, is that nodb_connection() should probably be named as a private method (_nodb_connection()).

This prevents Django from being able to run tests on Heroku, where you are not
allowed to connect to the "postgres" database, at least with the free tier.
Would it be an option to use an explicitly configured
DATABASES['default']['TEST']['NAME'] setting, instead of 'postgres' here?
Or could there be a new setting, like
