#1 Several claims were reimbursed at a rate of only 50% instead of 80% as specified in the policy. No explanation was given and Aetna refused to reimburse the proper amount.
#2 Aetna routinely delayed the claims they actually payed by three to nine months.
#3 Aetna refused to provide data allowing me to determine which claims were paid and which were not and routinely LIED about not having the information (I will explain further below).
#4 I suspect Aetna screwed me on the exchange rate of claims but I can't tell for sure due to #3 - it conveniently covers their tracks as I'll explain below.
I believe points 1 and 2 are self-explanatory. As for point 3, which in a way I find most egregious due to the blatant incompetence and lying, I believe further explanation is necessary. I had international health coverage from Aetna while working outside of the United States. During this time I suffered an accident which resulted in over $5,000 in medical bills distributed across 10's of different invoices.
In order to be reimbursed a series of redundant and cumbersome forms must be filled out for each invoice and then sent to Aetna Global Benefits for payment which they claim should occur in 2-4 weeks. I NEVER received payment in less than 2 1/2 months or so. Often claims were delayed by 3, 6 even 9 months and no explanation was given other than the excuse that they need time to translate the invoices.
It is important to note here that all bills were paid and submitted in foreign currency.
When I finally started to receive the claims the claims were paid either as a check in US dollars (something I specifically requested they NOT do because it cost me $15 to deposit a check abroad) or as a direct deposit to my foreign bank account in US dollars. NO detail whatsoever was provided on the payments other than the following: the supposed date of the claim (which was often wrong) and the amount being reimbursed in US dollars.
The other details that should have been provided like the name of the healthcare provider, the type of service on the original invoice, original invoice number, etc. were all listed as "unknown" or "NA." Note that ALL of these details were painstakingly provided in English by me on each of the claim forms. Furthermore often times claims were bundled together into one large deposit or check. This left me in a position in which it was impossible to determine which claims Aetna paid and which they didnt as well as if they paid the proper amount.
To reiterate: Aetna received the bill in foreign currency, they reimbursed a unknown percentage of the bill (which should be 80%) at a unknown exchange rate converted to US dollars. Given simply the dollar amount they decided to reimburse at an unknown exchange rate of their choice it was impossible to tie payments back to the original invoices.
I contacted Aetna and made the exceedingly simple request that they take original claim forms 1 by 1 and indicate for each claim individually: if it was paid, when it was paid, and the full amount reimbursed toward the claim. They refused. They claimed they didn't have this information for foreign claims. This is not only an exceptional demonstration of spectacular incompetence but a downright lie. Anyone that has ever worked in the finance department of a publicly traded company would know that it would be absolutely impossible for them to pass an audit if this were true.
Think about this to really understand how absurd this is: I have submitted detailed medical bills in a foreign currency with numerous forms detailing the bills in English. Aetna claims the ONLY data they have retained regarding these claims once paid is the DATE OF THE CLAIM and the AMOUNT PAID CONVERTED TO US DOLLARS (which is only a percentage of the original bill). I honestly find it difficult to believe that anyone could be stupid enough to even make that claim yet this is the case. This is coming down from a senior executive account manager handling multi-million dollar corporate accounts.

Couple deny arson chargeMay 21,2013Couple deny arson charge
A Fair Haven couple charged with torching their car dealership denied a pair of arson charges brought against them.
Edward David, 50, and his wife Tammy, 46, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to felony charges of second-degree arson.

While results of the vote were not immediately available, industry sources said plans are still in place for two other groups — CIES and the Global CEO Forum — to vote on the same proposal in June, a strong ...

text: Description~a couple of nice homebody ghosts, trying to rid their house of afamily of trendsetting human beings, is hell-bent on making theirhome unlivable -- even for the dead.|Amazon.com essential video~Before making Batman, director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton teamed up for this popular black comedy about a young couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) whose premature death leads them to a series of wildly bizarre afterlife exploits. As ghosts in their own New England home, they're faced with the challenge of scaring off the pretentious new owners (Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones), whose daughter (Winona Ryder) has an affinity for all things morbid. Keaton plays the mischievous Beetlejuice, a freelance "bio-exorcist" who's got an evil agenda behind his plot to help the young undead newlyweds. The film is a perfect vehicle for Burton's visual style and twisted imagination, with clever ideas and gags packed into every scene. Beetlejuice is also a showcase for Keaton, who tackles his title role with maniacal relish and a dark edge of menace. --Jeff Shannon|

Skill Level Beginner
Now this is our basic color and shape foundation. I'm going to take this a bit further and work in dry media. And show you what would happen if we add some details. I'm also just going to block the shades of color and pop them a little bit more. But before I do that, for me this piece is including the edges of the image here the tape. And that color is. Adding to the shapes that are here, so I want to make it a little bit cleaner, so I can see my composition more easily. So, when you're working, whether it's on a surface like this or any other surface, you should always try to keep a white space around your piece.
If it's black, it tends to sap an image of color. If it's a neutral color, it might infuse itself into the piece, so white is really the best choice to surround the edges of your picture. For me, I can already start to see the shapes of the composition more clearly. And I'm not distracted by extraneous colors, so now we see the shapes with a pretty clear articulation and I'm just going to go in and start to build up these colors.
So I'm just going to work for a little while. I'm pushing the now, the color gradation.
From dark to light but also from purple to blue to blue, to blue green, just to create a variation in the shape of color. I've also added some of this sky color into the shadow of this shirt, because it's reflecting what's around it, the white shirt. Just like the skin will be, it's reflecting the sky in the shadow color, it's called reflected color. So by contrast to what has already been established here whcih is the blue of the sky, the royla red of the shirt and teh white color The skin now looks really green.
And so I have to counterbalance that to make it more pink. And even though it's till an underpinning color for what will land on top, I'll show you that in a minute. This has to be warmer. Otherwise it looks like his skin tone is green. So what I'm doing is coating with pastel, a pink, fleshy tone. That is neutralizing the green because pink and green. This pink is sort of orangy, opposite the green, a compliment are neutralizing each other out for a more neutral tone.
But I don't want it to be neutral green, I want it to be neutral pink. Because the skin tone is generally a pinkish color. With just a hint of sort of greenishness and particularly in the shadows. Si I have to make sure that I'm balancing all these shapes of color. I'm also reflecting some of the red from the shirt. I have to reflect that into his skin as well. So I have to start to build this color. Again, it's in context of everything else. Looks too green, now I have to push it to be pink.
So, I'll do that here, it starts to look more like the overall tone of his flesh, but I still have to find the lights and shadows, and I also know as it turns away. His skin is just slightly more, purple in the shadow, so I have to pull that into the shadow but I've to be careful, his skin is so light, if I push the value of the color too dark, it'll look strange. Flash is the hardest thing. Particularly for that reason because it reflects so much color like a white shirt.
It's not just the color of the skin itself. It's the color that it's reflecting all around it. So it's one of the more complex elements of picture. And I'm pushing purple more in the shadow side of the face. And I'm going to keep the look, the right side of the face a little bit warmer and then what I'll do because this is a face,so it's fine tune. I have to go back in and I'm going to use first the eraser to erase out some of the light. And that will help me, find, the form of the face again.
The eraser effectively, its like a brush because the tool is fairly fine and what this is allowing me to do is pull back. To the lightest areas that were there originally, and it finds some of the pink that I put on there. It doesn't come off, and that leaves a sort of nice flesh tone that I can go back and enhance later. I'm pulling up a little bit of white on the left side of the face because I know that the reflective light from the sky will land on the face.
And so I want to just make sure that the value is right when I add bits of neutralized blue, flushed with a little bit of blue in it. There will also be a little light on the left side of the nostril here. One thing that helps to define the skin is start to see. The color of the lips and the color of the nose is being a little bit redder.
So if I articulate that, it'll help define the form of the face. A little bit in the ear. And the face is pretty light, so it's time to go in and. May be pop some highlights so that you start to see the light on the face, a little more clarity. I'm just grazing a pencil on the top of this green, to make that greenness sort of go away a little bit.
Just, to let it show, but not so brightly. And the opposite side of the face should have a little more purple in it, because it's reflecting the sky. But I have to be careful again that it doesn't get too dark, simply because it's skin tone. So now I go back into. That area with pencils to articulate that. What's nice about reflective light is when you use it on a three dimensional form it makes it look more dimensional because it tells you it's another side.
Where the light is hitting, the shadow tone, and a secondary light source that's never bright as the first light. You always want a primary light source to make an object look dimensional. And a secondary light source that's not as bright. And preferably the opposite color, in this case it's cool on the secondary light source, and warm on the primary light source. I'm just going to go in and darken areas of deep shadow under the nose. And the mouth to help see the forms a little more clearly. I'm adding a purple both to darken the color that's there, is the darker tone, it's a darker purple pencil, but also because I have a lot of green plus brown on top of it and now I want to add to the.
Energy of the color by adding a third color that will neutralize but also add punch to the color, which is purple. And I'm not going heavily, I'm just grazing the surface with my pencil to deepen the value but also to enliven the And color in the deepest shadow. If you go too heavy, it'll just look like a purple mark. Go light enough, blends with the other colors and lets them show through, too. With flesh tones, I tend to start with the lighter tones and build to the darkest tones, because sometimes if you go too heavy.
The face doesn't look believable. The value system on the face, the darkest dark is not that dark. Even in the creases of the mouth, it's not super dark, and people often go to far and wonder why it doesn't look quite right. So value systems for faces go from light slowly to dark in increments. The purple's still reacting to the green underneath. And that's why there's a kind of nice vibration of color in the shadow. So the, the important part of this in focusing on the eyes is to try to get the pupil to pop and also the little bit of lash line that makes you know, these eyes really stand out.
I could use black, but that would not work with this system, so I'm going to try to use a dark brown. To pop that and I'll just darken the pupil, show you what that looks like, and then if I darken above it, and it has to be a color that relates to what's already there. It starts to look like his eyes. And I might use this color some place else. But for now it's really just a pointer just to say well, well how dark should it be and the same thing on the other side. And when I do the hair, I'll use some of the same colors. But it's also, see I can even start with white to start to pull up the highlights of those curls.
And I'm going to pay attention to the color that I had underneath. And really, I'm using the pencil. Try to articulate the direction of the curl, the texture of the hair. This is where when you play with a variety of media, you can either use a brush to create that stroke, or, or a tool, if you're working in Photoshop, a tool that has a finer gauge to make a kind of nice texture for the hair. So the hair is still a beautiful shape, but it also. Is a nice contrast to the smooth face. So, I think I have this at a pretty good level, about three quarters finished to show you the basic shapes that make up the composition.
I've gone in and fine tuned the colors, so I really understand my system. The warm that leads to the face, the large shape of blue that frames the face and the value of the hair. I've gotten some details in, there's a little more to do. But what I want you to understand is that using shapes of colors as the first and most fundamental source for desinging a piece. Helps to keep the focus on the entire design, not just details within the image. If you understand how the shapes of color play off one another, it's easier to control where the viewer's looking and how they might perceive your intended message.
So, don't hesitate to throw your eyes out of focus when you go and look at work. See if the shapes add up to more than just the sum of their parts.

Is it possible to maintain a list of filtered-out "holidays"? Thanks in advance for your help!

During the past year Paul McCartney has been in the public's eye more than at any time since the peak of Beatlemania over thirty years ago. His fans have been treated to the best-selling Flaming Pie and Standing Stone albums, a full hour of Paul on "Oprah," and this thoughtful and comprehensive biography that brings us closer to the man than ever before. Based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews over a period of five years, and with complete access to Paul's own archives, Barry Miles has succeeded in letting Paul tell the story of his life as a Beatle in his own words. It includes Paul's recollection of the genesis of every song that he wrote with John Lennon and the fascinating details about their remarkable collaboration.

Luckys Market delayed three months
The new grocery store specializing in fresh and organic foods coming to Columbia was delayed three months.
Luckys Farmers Market company is based out of Boulder, Colo. The one coming to Columbia will be located at 111 South Providence Road.
The grocery store was supposed to open its doors by the end of October, however, due to construction delays, it will not open until Jan. 15.
The delay is coming from a back order on steel. Luckys Farmers Market had to order nine 30-foot tall steel beams for the store in Columbia. This was a specific order that could only go through a small company, causing the backup.
"This is an interesting delay because we've seen the economy, and I don't want to say we were waiting for work, but we're available for work, and it seems like knock on wood, everyone is busy, so we just have to wait our turn," said Bo Sharon, owner of Luckys Farmers Market.
The grocery store hopes to have the steel by November.

Officials say the wet, cool start to summer has all but extinguished the early part of wildfire season -- but they say it could create problems later into the summer.
Meteorologist Joe Ramey has lived in Western Colorado for years -- and he says if there's one thing he's learned, it's to expect the unexpected.
"We have had a wetter and cooler than normal spring," said Ramey, who works for the National Weather Service.
He says June is typically the driest month of the year on the Western Slope. But this year, Mother Nature has felt otherwise. According to the National Weather Service, Grand Junction has received .44 inches in June and 4.49 inches in 2009 -- both well above average numbers.
"We've already gone beyond what's average for the entire month so far," said Ramey. "And it looks like we're going to get more before the month is over.
That's why he says he's not surprised we haven't seen the wildfires that we're used to seeing this time of year.
"It's helped to keep the fuels moist," said Ramey. "Therefore, we've so far escaped without any large fires."
But the quiet start to fire season has come as a surprise to Upper Colorado River Fire Management crews, who say for the past six years, the beginning of summer has always meant working at least one major fire.
"We basically have seen no action so, which in a lot of ways can be good," said Erin Curtis, spokesperson for the Upper Colorado River Fire Management Unit. "But it's important people don't get complacent."
While they say there are definite benefits to the lack of action --
"Obviously it's a benefit budget wise to the national budget that we haven't had a lot of catastrophic fires," said Curtis.
-- They add there are also downsides. Officials say wetter weather means more grasses and other small plants that fires feed on.
"A couple of hot days and we have a lot more fuel than usual that could light and start something," said Curtis.
They say that becomes even more concerning during a time when Valley residents aren't under any fire restrictions.
"This is the first time in five or six years that we haven't had fire restrictions in place by this time," said Curtis.
Forecasters say fortunately we should be safe for a little while longer.
"We're looking at more moisture potential later this week and then maybe into early next week," said Ramey.
But they say Grand Valley residents need to exercise caution when it comes to fire, especially with Country Jam and the 4th of July quickly approaching -- because in Western Colorado, things can change suddenly, and you should always expect the unexpected.

I totally agree with you it does shorten the window but the reality is there is no window that opens to those too fighters not for kell brook,at welterweight now i think of it floyd might just step down a few pounds make bradley a tune up for manny or canelo i dont think floyds gona have 3 more pro fights 2 at the most and the 1st is a tune up for a big final payday if that 1st is bradley.

I saw this hilarious news story on TV recently about vegan sexuals. Have you guys heard of that term? I did not make that up. That is a real thing. A vegan sexual, according to this news story, is a vegan who's decided he or she is only going to have sex with other vegans. And when I saw that, I was like, 'Oh, that's weird, 'cause I thought we already had a word for that, and it was "vegans."' No one wants to have sex with a vegan.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Stupid AT hike question.
So I see a lot of people planning AT thru-hikes. How does transportation work on this? Do you have to arrange for someone to pick you up or is the trail popular enough that they have some sort of regular bus routes back and forth?
Just curious.
@t-lLocale: Wisconsin
Back and forth…..from where to where? I've never done a thru hike, but from what I know, you start at one end, and walk to the other. There are trail town along the way where you can stop for food, supplies, rest, etc. You can arrange mail drops at predetermined locations.
@francoLocale: Tarptent
This is a great site to find out about light gear, ('cause light is right) . For AT specific questions you have more than enough info at White Blaze.
Have a look here :
we all wish we had asked more "stupid " questions…
@newtonLocale: Southeastern Louisiana
You can also go online at and click on Appalachian Trail Thru-hikers' Companion and then The online Companion
Many hostels and outfitters in the trail towns supply shuttle services.
Party On ! 2010
@trailfrogLocale: Northeast/Southeast your call
If a question is important enough for you to ask, then it is not stupid. Check out http://www.Trailplace.com.
It is a nice site for all questions AT. As stated, Whiteblaze.net is a good site for AT questions.
Getting shuttles to, from and along the AT is usually pretty easy, since it has a long history. Lots of former thruhikers provide shuttles and many of them run hiker hostels.
@hammer-oneLocale: Walking With The Son
Most folks either get a ride to the trailhead or fly in and shuttle there. The biggest percentage of AT thru hikers hike south to north from Springer to Katahdin. Once you finish on Katahdin it's an easy hitch out of Baxter to Millinocket (the closest town, about 20 miles away). The last time I was there I gave 3 thrus a ride to town. The one fellow wanted a ride to Medway to get a shuttle to the airport in Bangor. For the price of dinner I took him myself.
One fellow (trail name Cycle Hiker) biked to Springer from Ohio on a fold up bike, then carried the bike as far as Atkins, Virginia. He had planned on carrying it to Katahdin and riding home from Maine, but changed his mind. When I met him he had just finished and his girlfriend surprised him and met him to drive him home.

With few exceptions the messages all appear to be from people whose native language isn't English (despite their profile claiming they're from someplace in the US). Many of the messages I received have obviously been translated by BabelFish or a similar translation program. Invariably, they appear to be from Russians or Nigerians who ask me to contact them via private e-mail. Their messages all sound canned and extremely similar. They quickly tell me they've fallen in love with me and begin asking for money or financial help to come to the US.
I've written IWantU.com on multiple occasions complaining about the fake profiles and the overwhelming number of members who are obviously fake. I get nothing more from them than hollow promises to look into it and an offer to extend my membership for free. This site is nothing but a complete ripoff. The owners are certainly aware that the vast majority of their female members are actually fakes looking to scam money from you or get you to join another pay site to see their pictures, yet they do nothing to solve this problem. Their goal is simply to get you to pay for a membership and only then discover that you've wasted your time & money. If they know that the vast majority of the women on their site are fake, then their advertisements promising you great opportunities to meet others is false advertising.

I called Premier Benefits and asked for my money back.
I also filed a claim form with Washington Mutual (my bank0 but I received a letter saying there was nothing they could do.
Upon speaking to customer Service person I was told (in really bad English) to wait for a "Check Authorization" form to be sent at which time I was instructed to sign it and FAX it back to them February 9, 2005. The form states that I agree "not to take further action if I receive a refund". (notice the "if")
I wait the specified 14 days for processing plus an additional 30 days. Finally in April (about a week after "Fools day")I gave them a call. I was told, "You waited too long and now it's too late".
"Too late!" I replied. I informed them of the fax which I still have a copy of and threatened legal action. The heavily accented person miracuslously was able to find my file and said I should wait 14 days for a managers approval.
I asked to speak to the manager and was told he's not available and to just wait the 14 days for processing of my case.
I called back end of April. Again asked to wait 14 days. I called back three more times in May and I have just completed about eight more phone calls here in June 2005. Guess what they said? Right, 14 more days.

Myself: Since any man can say he "identifies" as a woman, therefore any man can enter a women's restroom or locker room. There is no time to verify if the man is telling the truth when (s)he is in need of a bathroom. And simply questioning the man would be "profiling" (which liberals hate) and discriminatory. So this means that any man can enter the restroom or locker room with your wife, daughter or granddaughter. Is this what you liberals really want? Have you thought this through?

Neighbors mobbed a man in a Pueblo neighborhood Sunday, believing he was involved in several sexual crimes against children.
One of the victims had told her mother that she thought she spotted the man who had harmed her, prompting her neighbors to take action. The group, who live on the east side of town, said they were furious that police hadn't warned residents about the sexual crimes occurring in their area, and took matters into their own hands.
Those crimes include a sexual assault and two cases of indecent exposure.
After cornering the man they believed was the suspect, about a half dozen people held him until police arrived. Police questioned the man, but say at this time they are not linking the man to any of the crimes. Police say that they also do not have reason to believe the cases are connected.
The man did provide a voluntary DNA sample, which police will test against samples they obtained from the other sex-related crimes in the area.

This is a great achievement for Beverly Cato. She can sit, relax and read. It may seem simple, but she hasn't been able to do it for years.
"I thought it was normal. I just thought it was me, a constant need to move. It's uncontrollable."
Beverly suffers from restless legs syndrome. She shows us how she had to constantly move her legs. It was a real problem at night. Sleep was next to impossible.
Beverly Cato said, "There's no relief, your legs are just constantly tense and unless you move, you get a bit relief."
Steven Cohen, MD, PhD Neurologist, said, "A lot of people feel like they are going crazy."
Restless legs syndrome affects up to 10 percent of the population.
Steven Cohen said, "The key thing is it's not present when they are up and walking.
It's only when they are sitting or lying down."
Neurologist Steven Cohen says, while they don't know what causes it, researchers do know the same dopamine medications used to treat Parkinson's disease can help patients.
Steven Cohen said, "Why the extra dopamine helps in restless legs syndrome we don't know."
Oral medications were available in the past, but now new research shows a patch with the drug Rotigotine is an even better choice.
Steven Cohen said, "Not everyone has gotten 100 percent relief, but everyone that I've seen has gotten pretty good relief. The major benefit is you put it on and forget it."
It's working for Beverly. Every day when she puts on her make up, she also puts on her patch so she can live life without restless legs.

For those of us NON-US, it seems we have been screwed by using our own servers even if the ping is great.
My slight intention with this thread is to make an easy documention about what is:
West Europe - 20ms
North Europe - 22ms
East US -88ms
North Central US - 102ms
South Central US - 116ms
West US - 153ms
(all pings stated are from me in the uk, but they dont ever change, even with a stable connection they would vary by ~1ms. I actually don't know if the UK counts as north or west europe by them, to me i'ts north, can't get much further north but the pings worse, west to me leaves europe unless you count the very very edge of france and portugal... Far more east and thats before you hit the "far east"....)
For me my ping from the UK i would like to say varies greatly (although it never changes even locally so i think thats an illusion and its just fixed West and North Europe are always 20 and 22 ms respectively even if i max out my line with downloads.)
East US is obviously east coast and thats a -4 GMT or EST
currently as i understand.
West US is -7 GMT or done in PST
North and South Central US i thought ran on CST? I realise there is MST aswell, but which do these reside and is their a difference right now for the majority or only those that observe Summer time and change for that.
The reason i ask and want this thread is that the Euro servers are shit, could spend days finding a match and still find it quit out. The risk of an 80ms ping is nothing, i've spent years PC gaming and while i would love to play with ~20 all the time i know full well its not going to happen and you can still play fine with ~100, those who blame their bad gameplay on ping when its 100 are just bad players.
I've played with people on WoW that used to have to vpn into our wow server to play with our guild and had 3-400 sec pings, they could still play just fine, i wouldn't put them as a healer but thats very very quicker trigger but they could tank and dps fine.
Sitting waiting for 10mins while i write this on a euro link, still no game.... Ok this could be time of day aswell but even perfect evening its no diff. least 3-4mins between games mostly and yet any time of day i can hop on US, get lag but get a game.
Edit: Am on fibre but even still those figures should change, even internally when you are using cat6e with a perfect switch they move 1-2 digits at least, nothing stays the same for days on end. And yes i know my network stuff so lets not devolve this to that, its not my skills, or something along the line, its false stats and american servers working better than euro, read like 2-3 threads below mine (will vary depending on when you read this)
Euro population vs america vastly exceeds if you include all our countries...US has sectioned theirs off somehow and not even into states, i don't know what lines have been drawn but i can tell you, over here we still want to play lol

Anytime... as long as you're mowing grass or hauling something heavy with it (insert Tim Allen grunt). Don't want to waste fuel.

Okay, so I just noticed the little Thanks button thing. Way to go, way to be noticing changes!! Oh well, if I used my brain all the time it would be too tired to function when I really needed it.06-12-2008, 01:03 PM #14
At first I thought the Thank You button was a cool thing but I'm not so sure now. Y'all are making jokes and stuff and the OP's original comment is lighthearted but I'm seeing a trend that I'm not sure is very healthy.
In a few of the controversial threads (which I have READ but not posted in, so I can be objective) I see battle lines drawn between sides and the "thank you" button used as a tool to divide the sides. The comment when you click thank you reads something like "thank you for this USEFUL post" but I'm seeing the thank you button clicked when the person just wants to side with someone and SNUB someone else by not thanking their post...it really has nothing to do with the "usefulness" of the post anymore. A whole thread can go on like this, with someone merely going down the entire thread thanking those who agree with them, and ignoring those who don't. What value is there in that?
I guess I'm making a public claim that maybe we'd be better off without this feature if it continues to be used this way. Just my 2cents.06-12-2008, 01:16 PM #15

Good point and thats why I said," The bad thing about the thank you's... You can get your feelings hurt."
The controversial threads is the place you will see that and I don't think you will avoid it.
That being said the reason for the "thanks" button is to cut down on the number of posts that simply say "thanks". Mission accomplished IMO.~Russ

Just installed 0.9.3 and I am unable to publish a new post while the plugin is activated.
WordPress displays this message:
"Your attempt to edit this post: "test" has failed."
Playing with the settings has no impact, and I've verified that none of my other plugins are the culprit by deactivating all but Super-Cache.
Also, the cache settings page displays with "Cache rebuild" checked. A mistake or a new default?

3. Is it possible to manually set the og:type tag on a page by page or post by post basis?

Renewable Energy - Offshore Wind
Offshore Wind is one of the most acceptable forms of renewable energy. Being offshore, it is in no-ones back yard and has enabled the deployment of far bigger turbine structures than would be permitted on land. The early days of Offshore Wind saw small wind farms developed within the territorial sea (within 12nm of the coastline). However, following the Round 3 concessions that were granted by the UK Crown Estate at the beginning of 2011, Offshore Wind has moved further offshore and well beyond the limits of the Territorial Sea where a mandatory VTS could be established to manage maritime vessel activity. The UK Round 3 concessions licensed developers to produce up to 32GW of offshore wind power generation brining the total potential renewable capacity for UK to over 40GW.
However, placing a huge array of substantial, high value assets within an area of the sea does present a potential hazard to navigation and its constriction requires a substantial number of vessels, people and other large scale infrastructure. An offshore wind construction site carries many of the same hazards as any onshore building site but it is more difficult to protect an offshore wind construction site from unauthorised third party access, whether deliberate or accidental.
Wind farm Construction - Managing Vessels & People
Health & Safety regulations mean that any wind farm developer must ensure adequate safety for all personnel (onshore and offshore). For offshore wind farms, health & safety regulations also meet maritime safety regulations and therefore a safety focussed environment for offshore development has greater challenges to overcome. In particular, deploying personnel from workboats to turbine structures involves substantial risk.
The larger the offshore wind farm, the larger the number of vessels and people that are required for its construction. It is therefore important it is to manage vessels within the sea area around the wind farm during construction and to effectively manage vessel operations on the construction site to maximise the workforce hours of the personnel deployed for its construction. The further offshore it is, the more remote monitoring will be required. With many planned offshore wind farms being beyond the range of the coastal sensors used by maritime authorities, it will become essential that the wind farm operations management is able to manage its offshore sea area for itself, especially during the construction phase of its lifecycle.
Managing offshore operations involves two key functions:
Marine Coordination Systems are used to manage offshore vessel activity efficiently. These systems use the same technology as onshore VTS or coastal surveillance systems. However, additional bespoke applications are necessary for the Offshore Wind sector including people tracking in order to identify which personnel are working on which offshore turbine site.
More information about setting up Marine Coordination and People Tracking facilities can be obtained through our contact page.
