How much interference has anyone had with cordless phones or other random/oddball signals in the air?
Should I just go back to balance beam?

"...How much interference has anyone had with cordless phones or other random/oddball signals in the air? or Should I just go back to balance beam?"
None but florescent light can sometimes make them wrinkle. See the .pdf file written by Lee Love (Uniquetek) in my post HERE (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=399427)for some worthy tips for electronic scales.

I opt for the tin foil hat.
I much prefer electronic scales over the balance scales for their speed and are just as accurate. I have both and rarely use my RCBS 5-0-5. My RCBS Powder Pro with power source is my prefered scale at the moment and has been for the last 20 years. And I don't even have a florescent light problem either...

Some cell phone base station systems utilize a liquid nitrogen cooled super conductor sheilding system, to issolate unwanted radio/electrical interference.
I'd imagaine that a very basic setup would run over several thousand dollars, though.
Most modern electrical equipment has it's own basic shielding to filter out undesired interference and emissons.
Digital equipment including scales may have a tendency to 'fluctuate' between readings. ie 3.9gr-4.0gr-3.9gr, if it's close to 4 grains but not quite at the threshold (this is all determined in the logic software of the product and not by outside interference).

The key thing to watch out for when using a digital is not to have it on the same work surface thay you may be working your press on or resting up against as they are motion sensitive. This would include a breeze from an open window nearby or from a heater a/c vent and things of this nature . These cautions were listed with my RCBS 1500 and I found it to be true as when my heater comes on I can watch the scale having difficulty stabilizing until I close the vent in my small reloading room. I also placed a piece of 1/8 inch foam under it to act as a vibration damper if I happen to be moving around a lot and that took care of the tiny quirks for me .

I prefer my balance beam for measuring powder. But much of that is because I'm used to it and I can trust it. I'd bet though that a digital scale for sorting a pile of cast bullets would be real nice to have.
December 4, 2008, 09:48 AM
I have both the beam scales and the electronic. I prefer the electronic scales because of the accuracy and speed, main thing to check with an elect. is its repeatabilty. As far as accuracy goes jewlers use electronic scales to weight gold and diamonds, do you actually think if they were not accurate they would be using them to sell you gold, come on.

Using (TX only) a GRMS walkie talkie by my good scale makes it go nuts.

My wife walking by the reloading/gun room tends to cause mine to go screwy...Of course she has an effect on my balance beam too. And so does earth quakes...Light tremers can be detected by my electronic scale.
December 4, 2008, 12:09 PM
The only problem I have ever had is they are very temperature sensitive.
You want to turn them on at least 1/2 to 1 hour before getting serious with them so they can stablize temperature.
December 4, 2008, 12:17 PM
My very old 5-0-5 is adequate for my needs, and I've never found the need to use an electronic scale. That said, I wouldn't mind having an RCBS Chargemaster combo. ;)
p.s. NICE user-name!
December 4, 2008, 01:20 PM
I just packed up the Frankford Arsenal Micro Scale I bought and am sending it back to Midway for a store credit.
I have a Lee beam scale on back order but want a better digital. That little Frankford scale was a pain. Especially the auto shutoff but that did teach me how to get my rounds loaded faster! :)
I'm thinking RCBS.
December 4, 2008, 01:42 PM
I still use a Dillon D-Terminator 1500 digital I got about 15 years ago, and it's still dead on accurate. When I first got it I checked it against a multi thousand $ lab balance at a pharmaceutical lab, and until you went above a few hundred grains, the reading were the same... I was really surprised just how accurate it was. It is a little temp sensitive, but I leave it on all the time in a pretty temp stable basement. I don't think they still make this model any longer.
I still love and use my 505, but digital is especially nice for doing case and bullet separation by weight.
December 4, 2008, 02:27 PM
You want to turn them on at least 1/2 to 1 hour before getting seriousSo that is why I don't like them, I have no patience. :D
I leave it on all the time
That would be the ticket I guess. I may give one a try again one day.

I just knew you'd be along pretty soon:D. It takes around 15 to 30 minutes to get mine to quit going to "error". But that's how long it takes me to set up anyway. And after I'm set up. I calibrate the Powder Pro and I'm off to the races. Works for me...
Oh...By The Way...Walkalong...If you DO buy another one and you still don't like it. Don't throw it at the trash can...Send it to me...:evil:
December 4, 2008, 03:44 PM
What say you about the RCBS RangeMaster 750?
December 4, 2008, 03:58 PM
I have a decidedly non-electronic version. It is adequate for my needs. I only weigh a few charges when I start and maybe one every 50 rounds or so. I want to make sure the powder measure is working right more than anything.
December 4, 2008, 04:21 PM
Don't throw it at the trash can...Send it to me... :evil:I promise. :)
December 4, 2008, 04:47 PM
Right on ibob, if I would weigh every charge I'd never get any shooting done. However when I do benchrest shooting I do weigh every charge, but only fire maybe 30-40 rds an afternoon.
December 5, 2008, 09:50 PM
I've been overjoyed with the RCBS Chargemaster setup. It takes all of ten seconds to turn on and has not had any problems.
I used to have a Frankfort Arsenal scale and it was pure hell.
December 5, 2008, 10:13 PM
I've been overjoyed with the RCBS Chargemaster setup
I have mine plugged into a UPS (for my PC) and I turn it on 10 minutes before I'm ready to weigh and it's good to go (after one calibration). It's VERY accurate and there's no way I'm ever going back to the 5-0-5 or the RCBS digital scale and Redding powder trickler that I used for about 10 years. About a year ago I upgraded to the RCBS CM 1500 and have never looked back. It's SOOOOOO much faster!!
December 8, 2008, 04:13 PM
prickett: I've been overjoyed with the RCBS Chargemaster setup
Me too.
Speeds up single stage reloading & is consistently accurate.
On the very rare occasion that it does throw a high charge (+0.1gr), it beeps to let you know.
December 8, 2008, 07:34 PM
I have mine plugged into a UPS (for my PC) and I turn it on 10 minutes before I'm ready to weigh and it's good to go
Why do you have it plugged into a UPS and/or turn it on 10 minutes ahead of time? Mine counts down from 10 (seconds) and is ready to go. I had heard other scales required long warmups, which is why I bought the Chargemaster.

There's a couple of reasons. On my Lyman it states to leave it 24hrs before using it. The better UPS units have line conditioning that stabilizes the voltage. Based on what I've read the electronic scales are extremely sensitive to fluctuations of in line current, even minor changes. I have mine plugged into a higher end surge protector that helps. I know that regular house voltage does vary quite a bit,from 100 to 140. At least that's what the electric provider told me when I was doing a lot computer installations.

Hi all.
I am really new to robotics, and only just recently got my arduino uno. i've played around a bit here and there to learn how to control servo's and such, so i figured it's time for me to build my first robot. but in the design, i've come across a few problems:
I'm using RC ESC's to drive the motors in my current robot project. These speed controllers has a built in power regulator (called a BEC) that is meant to power your RC receiver. I've measured and the voltage produced is a steady 5.03 Volts.
Can any of you think of a reason why I couldn't or shouldn't use this as power source for my Picaxe 28x1 ?
Can't seem to insert hyperlinks with Opera browser on my old iMac, so here are a link if you wanna read more about RC ESCs or BECs

To answer the writer's question; The mayor lives in the world of politics. It's much like going through the looking glass. Everything is distorted and weird. The longer people live in that world the more they believe that it is the real world. Maybe the mayor needs to spend a little time back in the real world. It might work wonders for most of the people in Washington too.

The public is invited to attend a meeting Wednesday in an effort to gather support for the 8-year-old Roosevelt Park boy who was severely injured in a July 4 boating accident.
The 7 p.m. meeting is at the Roosevelt Park Community Center. Those with ideas on how to raise funds or those willing to donate funds to the family of Tanner Gentry of 1531 Princeton are welcome to attend, said Tammy Hurskach, a meeting organizer and family friend.
"We want Tanner to know that there are so many people who love and care for him," she said. "So many different businesses, families and companies want to raise money for Tanner."
Tanner lost a portion of his right leg in the accident after being struck by a 19-foot powerboat on Middle Lake driven by Daren Anderson, 38, 2383 Duff, of Twin Lake, police said. His left leg also was severely injured. Tanner has been treated at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids.
Hruskach said the boy has had eight surgeries and several skin grafts. Both his parents have been unable to work since the accident and spend as much time as possible at the hospital with Tanner, Hruskach said.

Vote-on-account in March likely
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 23rd December 2012 10:24 AM
Last Updated: 23rd December 2012 10:24 AM
The state government will introduce vote-on-account, instead of full budget, this year and will present it in March, finance minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy has said.
The government has decided to follow the model of the Lok Sabha in which the demands for grants will be circulated to the Standing Committee.
After that the appropriation bill will be passed by Parliament.
In a similar manner, the state government will present vote-on-account from 2013-14. The demands for grants will be referred to the newly-constituted 10 standing committees comprising members of the Legislative Assembly and Council.
Speaking to reporters in Nellore on Saturday, the finance minister said that after the vote-on-account the Assembly and the Council would be adjourned for a long gap to enable the standing committees to study the Demands for Grants.
Assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar constituted as many as ten standing committee to study the demands for grants for around 40 key departments.

Rare Joe Kelley Signed Handwritten Career Statistics - PSA Mint 9
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $9,400
The finest Joe Kelley signed 3 x 5-inch card in existence! This is the ultimate example of one of Hall of Fame signature collecting's key rarities. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, with the signature receiving a grade of MINT 9. This extraordinary piece features not only an impeccable black fountain-pen signature example of the Hall of Fame outfielder, but also Kelley's handwritten "baseball biography" in which he lists all of the teams he played for, as well as his years of service with each respective club. Kelley's signature appears on the top line of the card, below which are the following scripted notations (all in Kelley's hand): "Born 1871 Cambridge Mass. Played Lowell New England League, Boston National 1891 Omaha, Pittsburg, Baltimore, 1892 With Baltimore Pennant Winners 1894-95-96- Went to Brookly (sic) 1899 Won Pennant 99-1900 Cincinnati 1902-3-4-5-6 Boston Nationals 1908 -Toronto." Joe Kelley's signature is one of the most difficult Hall of Famers to obtain in any form, let alone such an ideal form as presented here. His signature has been highly sought after by advanced collectors. The example offered here is the finest and most ideal-for-display Joe Kelley signed item we have ever seen, made all the more desirable by the additional handwritten notations by Kelley relating to his career. The primary reason for the extreme rarity of Kelley's signature today is timing. In addition to playing his career in an era in which signature collecting was not very popular, Kelley passed away in 1943, and he wasn't elected to the Hall of Fame until 1971. For nearly thirty years he was simply forgotten by autograph collectors. That lack of foresight by earlier collectors has resulted in Kelley's signature becoming a "holy grail" for anyone trying to assemble a substantial Hall of Fame autograph collection. All of Kelley's handwritten notations grade "9/10" and the index card is in Excellent to Mint condition. This is an extraordinary example of one of the most revered rarities in the field of Hall of Fame autograph collecting. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000.

How does "Eddie Murphy, Oscar host," sound?
According to Deadline, Oscars-producer Brett Ratner wants the comedian, who co-stars in his upcoming fim 'Tower Heist,' to host the 84th Academy Awards. Ratner must get the okay of the Academy first, but Eddie is reportedly "showing interest" in the gig.
Murphy was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 2006's 'Dreamgirls.' As we remember it, he wasn't the greatest sport about losing to Alan Arkin for 'Little Miss Sunshine,' but we're guessing he'd make a much more enthusiastic host.
"Nobody knows movies better or is a bigger cinephile than Eddie. Not Brett. Not even Quentin Tarantino. Eddie can quote scenes from every single movie word for word," Deadline quotes an insider. "He can bring all that experience to hosting. Plus he has 'Saturday Night Live' experience before a live crowd. And worldwide the biggest crossover comedians are Will Smith and Eddie Murphy."
What about Billy Crystal, who's announced he'd love to host again? He'd supposedly be included in the show, just not as the host. Oprah Winfrey, who was previously rumored to host, will be there, but as the recipient of an honorary Oscar, as will James Earl Jones.
What do you think? Would Eddie make a great Oscar host?

The best name descriptions are the ones that provide history and origin of names, as well as pop culture references, etc, in an objective and unbiased way. For example, the new entry for Antoine is great! Describes its history (French), its popularity over the years, its namesakes, and its variations. I think it's a great example of what a name entry should look like. Unfortunately, there's still quite a few that don't look like that, but I'm sure, in time, they'll all be great!~ Mother of Violet Elizabeth Rose ~

The description for Carly kind of offends me! It isn't a favorite of mine, but the description said "it could by no stretch be considered fashionable." I disagree, I think it's a cute, fresh feminization that has a great hippie feel since it came out of the 70's. Huff.
I think Nameberry should leave their personal opinions out of the descriptions. They can be really offensive. This site is supposed to provide name IDEAS, not say what is and what is not "fashionable" all across the board.

Victoria Institution
With the help of Sir WH Treacher, the British Resident of Selangor, the local Kapitans and Sultan Abdul Samad, the Victoria Institution was established in 1893. The architect was AC Norman.
Quick Facts about Victoria Institution
- Victoria Institution was established in 14 August 1893
- Named after Queen Victoria
- Type: Government boys secondary school
- The oldest school in Kuala Lumpur
- Grades: Form 1 - 6
- Principal: Azizah Othman
- Students population: 1200
- One of the top secondary school for boys in Malaysia.
- Reputed for its quality all-round education.
Brief History of Victoria Institution Kuala Lumpur
VI Emblem
It was to take after the enormously successful Raffles Institution of Singapore.
The Victoria Institution was officially opened in 1894 on High Street, renamed Jalan Bandar soon after the Malayan Independence.
The road with many of its original shophouses still remains, however it is now known as Jalan Tun HS Lee.
As it was frequently affected by floods, the school was shifted to its present location on Jalan Hang Tuah about a kilometer away. Before that the area was a Chinese cemetery.
1945 The End of the Second World War
The Japanese Army officially surrendered Malaya to the British Military Administration in the main hall of the school on 13th September 1945. This was repeated on 22nd February 1946.
You can read the original article on the Japanese surrender at the VI Hall here.
*My sincere thanks to Mr. Chung Chee Min, a true Victorian, who has helped to correct some factual errors on this page. He has also contributed many ideas to this page.
The original site of the school was also the focus of the novel written by Somerset Maugham, called The Letter. It was based on a true story of a homicide which took place in the headmaster's quarters. That building has been demolished.

Student Life
The students of KL VI take pride in identifying themselves as a class of active students, both in and out the classroom. It is an unspoken rule that all freshman students are required to join at least one uniform body, take on an active role in one of the school's 50 clubs and to participate in a least one sport.
It has a variety of clubs, uniformed bodies and sports that caters for all sort of interests. The student life often revolves around societies and clubs and sport teams.
Among its toughest rival schools are St. John Institution, the Royal Military College and the Malay College Kuala Kangsar.
Traditions and Heritage
KL VI still keeps to its age old Prefects' Board with a disciplinary system similar to the the past. It's the only school in Malaysia to have its own Edinburgh style Military Tattoo.
Among the sports that it is famous for are football, rugby union, cricket, basketball, water polo, badminton, archery, hockey, handball, volleyball, athletics, tennis, table-tennis.
There are eight sport houses in VI. Every year since 1897 the sports houses compete against each other on sports day.
It was like a citywide event, with huge crowds converging on the Victoria Institution campus in the early days.
The houses are named after the founders and forefathers of the school.
- Thamboosamy (green)
- Lee Kuan Yew (yellow)
- Sultan Abdul Samad (purple)
- Rodger (orange)
- Loke Yew (Brown)
- Shaw (Red)
- Yap Kwan Seng (Light Blue)
- Treacher (Dark Blue)
It has the oldest prefects board in Kuala Lumpur, founded in 1923. The first School Captain was Othman bin Mohamad.
Prefects represent the ideal Victorian, and the process of nomination for prefecture by teachers and senior prefects, interviews by the disciplinary board, elimination processes and several months' stint as a 'Temporary Prefect' (a probationary term). Victorian prefects comprise only of those with outstanding leadership qualities, excellent all-rounders and who have initiative.
The VI Song
Let us now with thankfulness
Praise the founders of our School.
Let us now with thankfulness
Praise the founders of our School
For their foresight and devotion,
Some who came across the ocean,
Some Malaysia's own sons,
All true Victorians.
Let us next remember here
All who passed through this our School.
Let us next remember here
All who passed through this our School,
Not one race but one in feeling
For a school to each appealing
That instruction be not all
Nor this School just roof and wall.
Let us lastly pledge ourselves
Ever to uphold our School.
Let us lastly pledge ourselves
Ever to uphold our School.
In our work and in our leisure,
With such zeal and in such measure
That the new Victorians
Match with Old Victorians.
VI in the news
116-year-old school gets heritage status today
The Star Saturday February 14, 2009
KUALA LUMPUR: While the city folk celebrate Valentine's Day today, another big event will be taking place here. The iconic Victoria Institution or more popularly known as VI, which will be 116 years old this year, will become the first day school in the country to be awarded national heritage status. Founded by Sultan Abdul Samad, William Hood Treacher, Loke Yew, Thamboosamy Pillai and Yap Kwan Seng on Aug 14, 1893, VI has steadfastly maintained a record of academic excellence and produced many leaders and luminaries.
School with a long history: Victoria Institution seen as it stands today in Jalan Hang Tuah, Kuala Lumpur. Those who passed through its hallowed halls include Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, Cabinet ministers then and now like Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen and former judge Datuk Mahadev Shankar. Other former students include corporate giants like Tan Sri Shamsuddin Abdul Kadir, T. Ananda Krishnan and Tan Sri Francis Yeoh while in the field of sports the school has produced luminaries such as Datuk Dr M. Jegathesan, the late Mokhtar Dahari, Datuk Misbun Sidek, Foo Kok Keong, Datuk P.S. Nathan and Ishtiaq Mubarak.
During the Second World War, VI was used as the administrative headquarters by the invading Japanese army and after Japan's defeat in the war in 1945, the handover ceremony of the administration of Malaya to the British was also held there (on Feb 22, 1946). Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal will present the award to VI this morning in a special ceremony at its school compound and many of its former students are expected to be present to witness the historic event.
It will also hold a special meaning to Shafie, himself an alumnus of VI. Zulhasnan, the Federal Territories Minister, said: "I would not miss it for the world. It is such a great honour for VI and as a former student, I am particularly glad VI is the first school to be awarded the status. For Zulhasnan, Feb 14 this year also holds a special meaning as it will mark the third year that he has been Federal Territories Minister. For VI's Parent-Teacher Association president, Raja Amir Shah Raja Abdul Aziz, VI's main goal after getting the status is to continue with its tradition of excellence for hundreds of years to come. - Bernama

The Philipsburg-Osceola High School girls track and field team lost all of its long jumpers to graduation last year.
P-O coach Doug Perry was desperate for someone to fill the void at the beginning of this season, and leaping to the rescue was senior Alison Patrick.
"I opened up the long jump competition to anyone that wanted to try it,'' Perry said Wednesday night during the District 6 Class AA Championships at Mansion Park. "[Alison] tried it, and it worked out real well for her - and us.''
Patrick won two events, including the long jump, and qualified for the PIAA meet in a third event to lead a small group of area girls who punched their tickets to the May 27-28 state meet at Shippensburg University.
In addition to Patrick, Huntingdon senior Bethany Ledford defended her pole vault title and qualified for states in the high jump, Penn Cambria senior Jess Delic won the javelin, and Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic junior Kate Meck prevailed in the high jump.
Also, the Central Cambria 3,200-meter relay team of Kendall Seymour, Alyssa Brandis, Emily Wright and Ashley Stump was victorious. Seymour also qualified for states by placing second in the 3,200 run, and Stump will run the 800 at states after placing third but having first-place finisher Angel Piccirillo of Homer-Center opting to not run the 800 at Shippensburg.
The only other girl from the Mirror coverage heading to states is Huntingdon senior Natalie Isett, who was the runner-up in the 100 dash.
Patrick came in to the meet as the top seed in the long jump despite her inexperience, and she jumped 16 feet, 11 inches to win the event by more than 3 inches. Her seeded distance was 17-2.
"I wanted to break the school record,'' Patrick said of coming up short to Kaylee Adams' record of 17-3.
Patrick did break the Philipsburg-Osceola record in the 200 dash, running it in 26.22 seconds, but she finished second to Penns Valley's Carolyn Darr by .21 seconds. Earlier, she won the 400 dash in a blazing time of 59.27 to start her day off successfully.
"I wanted to break 1 minute,'' Patrick said. "That's been my goal for two years.''
Perry said Patrick, ranked second academically in her class, has been injury-free all season, and it's helped her take her athleticism to a higher level. She went to states last year in the 400 and 400 relay, but she has higher hopes this year with three events to keep her focused.
"I hope to beat some people this time,'' Patrick said. "I think I was last in my [400] heat last year.''
Delic also is hoping for a better showing at states after placing 11th as a junior. She said the experience last year will give her a boost of confidence.
"I'm not exactly sure of the competition out there,'' Delic said. "I just want to [throw a personal best] down there and get on the medal stand [top eight]. Those are my biggest goals.''
Delic was the overwhelming favorite in the javelin and didn't disappoint with a throw of 138-4 on her first attempt of the day. She didn't do any better the rest of the meet, but she was consistent in the 130s and won by more than 11 feet.
"I would have liked to hit 140, but that's a pretty good mark going to states,'' she said.
Delic's career best is 143-8, and she said she'll stay mentally focused and train hard at the end of this week and then concentrate on her form next week in preparation for states. She also finished third in the long jump and seventh in the high jump Wednesday, but she only advanced in the javelin.
"I like to do the other events,'' Delic said. "But now my sole focus will be on the javelin. It's been my bread and butter all year.''
Ledford's main event has been the pole vault, and she vaulted to a meet-record height of 11 feet to easily prevail. She didn't miss an attempt until she missed three straight at 11-3.
"I made 10 feet, and they moved [the bar] up and didn't tell me [the new height],'' she said. "I made that, and they moved it up again and didn't tell me. When I made that, everyone was like, 'Oh my god.' I didn't know [I broke the record].''
Ledford said it works to her advantage if she doesn't know the height she's attempting to clear.
"If I get it in my head, I'll probably screw up or something,'' she said.
The Robert Morris-bound Ledford finished fifth in the state last year by clearing 10-6, the same height with which she won last year's district meet. She is hoping to at least get 11-0 this year, which should have her in contention for a gold medal.
She'll also be competing in the high jump at states after finishing in a four-way tie for second place with a height of 4-10. Meck won the high jump by being the only competitor to clear 5-0.
Meck was one of three tied for the top seed coming into the meet at 5-2.
"I was definitely nervous,'' she said. "I had to shake my nerves and just jump.''
Meck, a member of the BG basketball team that placed second in the state this year, wanted to clear 5-2 and is hoping she can accomplish the feat at states to be in contention for a medal. She will be competing at states for the first time after sitting out last year as a sophomore.
"I finished seventh in the district my freshman year,'' she said. "I didn't do track last year because I was busy with other sports.''
Seymour has been busy throughout her career, being a part of two 3,200 relay teams that earned silver medals at states. She also was 10th in the 3,200 run last year as a junior.
She ran a time of 11:22.10 in the 3,200 to finish behind Piccirillo, but Piccirillo also pulled out of the two-mile for states. The Lady Devils' 3,200 relay team dropped its best time by 12 seconds in winning in 9:43.58.
Isett was second to Darr in the 100 dash with a time of 12.88 to secure her a spot at states.
Meet notes: Forest Hills won the team title with Penns Valley second and Central Cambria third. Other individual event winners included Piccirillo in the 1,600 run the only individual event she'll run at states Richland's Paige Lumley in both hurdles and the triple jump, United's Samantha McGaha in the shot put and Juniata's Mariah Williams in the discus. Blair County Chapter of PIAA Track and Field Officials Outstanding Performer Awards were presented to Bellwood-Antis' Emiley Stapleton, BG's Katherine Crocker, Central's Stephanie Miller, Tyrone's Jordyn Swogger and Williamsburg's Caitlin Phelps.

After posting a growth of 1.9 percent MoM in June 2014, primarily due to pick-up in credit off-take from the international and private segments, loans fell by 1.0 percent with public sector declining by 4.4 percent MoM.
On the other hand, deposits also declined by 2.7 percent with public sector deposits declining by 3.8 percent MoM. Thus, the LDR climbed to 106 percent vs 104 percent in June. "Going forward, post the summer lull, we expect increased activity in the sector. We expect improvement in the public sector, in addition to large corporate loan growth to be the primary drivers of the overall loan book in 2014 followed by the SMEs and consumer lending. Our view is based on the expected uptick in project mobilisations in the coming months." QNB Financial Services monthly banking sector update noted yesterday.

Delving into segment details, the government institutions' segment improved by 0.2 percent MoM and is up 2.2 percent YTD 2014. On the other hand, the semi-government institutions' segment posted a decline of 6.5 percent MoM and down 23.7 percent YTD. Moreover, the government segment decreased by 8.7 percent MoM .
Private sector deposits declined by 1.8 percent MoM, and is up by 9.0 percent YTD 2014. On the private sector front, the companies & institutions' segment declined by 2.1 percent MoM while the consumer segment receded by 1.5 percent MoM.
The overall loan book declined by 1.0 percent MoM after a growth of 1.9 percent MoM in June 2014. International credit, the primary driver of the MoM growth in June, increased by 1.1 percent MoM. Total domestic public sector loans declined by 4.4 percent MoM and is down 4.2 percent YTD. The government segment's loan book declined by 9.3 percent MoM and is down by 1.8 percent YTD 2014.

The Good Faith Estimate and Meeting My Lender
|Email Print
One of the requirements in the contract for my home is that I secure a loan within two weeks – this is doable when you are working with a local lender who also works fast, hard, and well. Last night, I met with a "Mortgage Consultant" by the name of Nicholas Elko with Equitable Trust Mortgage Corporation, a local lender here in Baltimore. Nick is a solid guy who is very personable, knowledgeable, and gave me confidence he could get me the loan in two weeks. Now, the real meat of the story when you talk about mortgages is the rate and the fees. Nick could be the smartest, hardest working, and friendliest guy ever but if the rates suck, I would still feel like I was being taken advantage of (I did not and would wholeheartedly recommend Equitable and Nick to anyone in Maryland looking for a loan). In a 80/10/10, I'll be getting 5.875% on my first and 7.5% on my second… both rates seem competitive with the market averages.
80/10/10, what!?
What does 80/10/10 mean? That means I'll be borrowing 80% of the value of the home as a first mortgage, 10% as a second mortgage, and putting 10% down. It'll be a 30 year fixed loan on both and the bottom line is I'll be putting out about $1920 a month for the principal, interest, taxes, insurance (PITI), CPRA (parks fees) and HOA. That value is agreeable to me, despite being $1400 higher than my current rent payment. Yikes.
Oh, and you know how Bankrate always lists the lowest rates available? Try to get one of them – you probably never will. Those rates are like teasers for movies, they show you all the awesome action scenes and never any of the super cheesy and badly acted romance scenes guys hate. They're also from little no-name banks in random little towns nowhere near you. I don't know about going to a local lender that isn't actually local to you. Anyway, I'm digressing…
Mortgage Fees
Remember when I talked about LendingTree charging me $995 for loan related fees? How did a local lender compare? They came in at far less. Let us compare:
|Tax Service Fee
|Underwriting Fee
|Processing Fee
|Document Preparation Fee
|Credit Report
|Flood Certification
Those fees are only related to the first mortgage, on the second the only fees are a $200 Processing Fee and the $18 Flood Certification Fee – I can only imagine what the LendingTree fees would be on the second mortgage. So with Equitable Trust I'll be saving at least $327 on the loan related fees even though it'll be a rush job, which is 32.8% discount.
After you add in a whole bunch of other non-loan related costs, Maryland's cut of the action, prepaid taxes, insurance, and taxes – my final dollar amount is $9,893 ($7,227 of it being "closing costs"). That means my closing costs will be 2.45% of the value of my home, in light with expectations and every metric I've heard (3%).
15-Year Rates
A reader, risk, noted that he knew of a 15 year fixed rate on the second mortgage of 5.99% (this was before the recent quarter point bump). The second 10 I have now is a 30 year fixed rate but the disparity in rates appears significant. Using Bankrate's calculator, the monthly payment of the second loan at 7.5% (my rate) will be $206.27 with the total payment being $74,254.85. At a 15 year 5.99% rate, it's a payment of $248.75 with a total payment of $44.779.86! While the monthly payment isn't significantly different ($42), the total payout is $30,000 apart in interest!
I'll have to call up Nick tomorrow and ask what rate I would get if I only had a 15 year loan on the second. In all fairness, I asked for 30 fixed but never specified what I wanted on the smaller loan (I didn't even think about it). Plus, we had a talk about the loans and he said Equitable typically sells the loan after a little while because of their asset size. With under $100M in assets, they live off selling the loans to bigger outfits, so they get paid for the legwork. I mean they will get paid based on the loan but it's not like that interest goes into their pockets. If they were pocketing the $30,000 difference, it might be a red light.
Between when I first wrote this post and when I published it, I talked to Nick. When I drop it to 15 year loan my rate is the same, 7.5%, which is a difference of $5,000 over the life of the loan. My payment jumps to around $275 a month… my plan is just to keep it 30 and make the larger payments. With my rate being the same, it will make no difference.
Why wouldn't I just keep the loan as is and prepay? Since you pay more interest up front, you are making interest payments forward on what you've loaned (I don't know if the terminology is correct) even if you pay it down faster later on. I'll talk to him tomorrow and we can sort it all out, it probably won't make much of a difference given the size of the loan and how I do plan to pay it off faster.{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

On Monday, Irish author (and recently one of my favorites…) came to campus to read from her latest novel The Forgotten Waltz, which received one of the first-ever Andrew Carnegie medals for Excellence in Literature.
I read this book last spring when I took Changing Ireland with Professor Bracken, and I absolutely loved it. Since then, I've read all of Enright's other novels, and now I'm starting to read a few of her short stories.
I wrote about Enright's visit for the Concordiensis, here!

Hi! I'm Ceillie! I moved from what I thought was a really small town (Watertown, CT) to an actually really small 'village' (Whitehall, NY) right before high school, so I already had two hometowns before Union and Schenectady became my home away from home! I'm now settled into my senior year, writing my thesis on Shakespeare and Sophocles for both of my majors, English and Classics. When I'm not in Schaffer library studying or working at the Writing Center, I love to watch terrible tv shows, read, write, laugh, and explore. I love when people say please and thank you, and I really love when they read about my day to day life at the U on Union Unfiltered!

Uninformed customers pump bad gas, ruin carsUPDATED 8:47 PM MDT Oct 10, 2013
Contaminated gas at two major gas stations in New Mexico is causing cars to break down and costing customers thousands of dollars in repairs.Video Transcript
CAUSES A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR SOME DRIVERS. THEIR CARS WON'T START. ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER REGINA RUIZ JOINS US TO EXPLAIN THE PUMPS WERE FILLED WITH BAD GAS. DOUG, THE GAS WAS CONTAMINATED... AND IT WAS DELIVERED TO TWO GIANT STATIONS IN ALBUQUERQUE AND RIO RANCHO. FIFTY BUCKS WORTH OF GAS.... WILL NOW COST RAMONA LOPEZ NEARLY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! I'm really upset because this is my brand new vehicle, I use it for work, I'm a health care nurse and I'm just really upset because I bought this vehicle to give me reliable transportation. LOPEZ FILLED UP AT THIS GIANT STATION ON 528 AND CORRALES ROAD EARLIER THIS WEEK. THEN SHE WENT TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. I went into Target for half an hour and I came out and my car wouldn't start. THINKING THE NEW CAR HAD SOME ISSUES--- SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP--- THEY TOWED AND CHECKED IT OUT. They said we are not covering this because it's bad gas, EXPERTS SAY IT'S A CASE OF BAD GASOLINE ... AND SEVERAL CARS FILLED UP THEIR TANKS WITH IT. BUT, WHEN THEY TURNED TO THE GAS STATION FOR HELP... LOPEZ SAYS ALL THEY GOT WAS A 800 NUMBER TO CALL. It would take 48-72 hours to get any kind of a response from them, they took my information, So I got upset. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD GOOD AND BAD NEWS FOR LOPEZ. THEY WOULD COVER THE COST BUT, SHE HAD TO PAY THE 500 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. THAT'S A BILL SHE FEELS THE GAS STATION SHOULD PAY.

Various Artists (UTV)
Critic's Choice
"Church is where I don't have to go because it is always with me." So says poet Maya Angelou in "It's Sacred: Church," her spoken-word composition that opens this inspired compilation of uplifting songs performed by female vocalists who got started in Sunday-morning choir. The project is the brainchild of opera star Denyce Graves, whose heavenly mezzo-soprano graces a gospel-infused rendition of "Ave Maria." But the album mostly shows how gospel and R&B are at home in the same pew. Soul divas such as Jennifer Holliday, Dionne Warwick and En Vogue shine on church-steeped arrangements of secular covers, while Patti LaBelle gets right to the spirit of the matter on "Way Up There," the disc's only original tune. Best, though, is Stephanie Mills's righteous remake of "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)." It'll make you say, "Diana who?"
BOTTOM LINE: Soul-stirring

Xyratex (UNKNOWN: XRTX.DL ) saw a steep decline in its Q2 EPS, but the results were still good enough to beat expectations. For the quarter, revenue was a little more than $216 million, down significantly from the $322 million in the same period the previous year. Net profit saw a more precipitous fall, dropping to $2.9 million ($0.11 per diluted share) from Q2 2012's $7.0 million ($0.24). On a non-GAAP basis, those numbers were $2.7 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $9.3 million ($0.32), respectively.
In spite of year-over-year decline in EPS, the latest result was still good enough to trounce the average analyst estimate of a $0.05-per-share loss. The expectation for revenue was $203 million.
For its current Q3, Xyratex projects $195 million-$225 million in revenue and GAAP EPS ranging from a loss of $0.16 to a profit of $0.08 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the range is between a loss of $0.04 and a profit of $0.20 per share.
Xyratex also declared a fresh quarterly dividend. The company will pay $0.075 per share, the same amount it handed out the previous quarter. This will be paid on July 30 to shareholders of record as of July 15. The dividend annualizes to $0.30 per share, which yields 2.9% at the firm's most recent closing stock price of $10.37.

CHARLES TOWN - Mark Hash knows a thing or two about making history at Washington High School.
In the fall, he led the Patriots' football team to its first appearance in the postseason.
Last week, the Washington baseball team, under his direction, reached the Class AAA state tournament for the first time with a 12-2 win over Lewis County in the Region II championship game.

Since Hash took over four years ago, the Patriots have continually grown into one of the area's top teams and this season, one of the state's best.
"You gotta have good coaches, and I thought we had a very good football staff, and we have a very good baseball staff. You gotta have super kids. We had super kids in football, and we have super kids in baseball," Hash said. "You gotta have parents who support you, too. I don't think as a coach, you do it all, there's just no way you can do it. You make all the decisions. Sometimes they're good decisions and sometimes they're bad decisions, sometimes they're popular decisions and sometimes not-so popular decisions, but you gotta do it."
Of course, it all started with Bruce Davidson, who led Washington during its first two seasons. Hash took Davidson's vision and ran with it.
"I just knew what coach Davidson's vision was for the program, and that's why I wanted to step in as the head coach, because I knew what he wanted to build," Hash said. "That's what we're trying to do - just like the football program -we're trying to get better every year, get more competitive every year, and we were able to do that with football and get to the state playoffs. In baseball, we've been able to do that, too. We've gotten better and better and more competitive ever year, and hey, we're going to the state tournament."
The Patriots, who came within a game of reaching the state tournament a few years ago, had to beat some very good teams during its run to Charleston. It started in sectional play when Washington knocked off Musselman with a furious rally, then beat county rival Jefferson to take the sectional title.
The Patriots then took down defending champion Hedgesville in a one-run contest before blowing out the Minutemen in the regional championship game.
Washington has had several players step up this season, including a handful of seniors who have been impactful during their four years, including helping the Patriots reach the state tournament.
"Jared (Silva) and Blake Wilt are four-year guys," Hash said. "For Jared, this year is what we envisioned. Blake's been a kid we've asked to do a lot of things. He pitched for three years, and he's played third base.
"Bryan Bayliss has been in center field for two years. He was probably a .250 hitter last year. He comes in this year, and we talked to him about a leadership role and that you're gonna have to step up at the plate, and he hits over .400 for the regular season."
The final senior is Zach Tennant, who has impressed Hash and the rest of the coaching staff with his dedication.
"The Tennant kid is somebody that tried out for the baseball program for four years, and we cut him for three," Hash said. "This year, because of his perseverance, we decided to keep him., and he's made some plays here and there for us. He's probably the first kid here, along with Blake. Those are two guys you don't have to say anything to. They're here, and they get stuff out and ready.
"Those guys have all contributed in one way or another."
Hash and the Patriots can make history this weekend by winning the school's first team championship.
"We're hoping to bring a title home," Hash said.

text: I was one of those on the Labour benches who defied tradition and clapped when the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill successfully completed its Commons stages on Tuesday night. This was not only because the legislation giving same-sex couples the right to be married survived only with Labour support. It was in recognition that an epic battle for equality before the law was finally drawing to a close. Once it has successfully completed its passage through the Lords this Bill will be the final piece in a jigsaw of equal rights that was largely assembled before this Parliament was elected.

Grits Blitz is locked and loaded for another NFC South Nuggets, where I discuss news around the division in a belittling way. Lets start off with the low-hanging fruit given to us by those silly whodats.
Finally I can have more time to write another book.
Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis appealed their punishment in Bounty Gate, which ended up like a Bobby Petrino motorcycle ride. Both Payton and Loomis are walking away bruised and broken for one-year and eight games, respectively, after Roger Goodell affirmed his previous ban hammering punishment which was received for lying.
Peter King of Sports Illustrated believes the NFL will announce punishment for the Saints defensive players this week, which is funny considering I did not realize they had a defense. Seems the bounties were not quite high enough to make anyone want to tackle Vernon Davis in the playoffs.
The Saints news has been rolling in, which includes New Orleans wishing to be Tuna-free, a situation that would have otherwise been a hilarious train wreck with Bill Parcells as the Saints headcoach. I am sure they are aware that Bobby Petrino is still available.
Shockingly, there has been no change in the Drew Brees contract situation after the Saints signed every free agent available to eat up every dollar of cap space. This is weird, because the Saints are otherwise such a well run organization that should have been able to sign Breesus two-years ago, considering Peyton Manning got a contract hammered out in about 15 minutes.
I like to have a small moment of silence for every terrible player who is cut from a division rival. My thoughts are with the injury-prone, poor tackling, constantly suspended Buccaneers safety Tanard Jackson. I am slightly concerned Tampa may sign someone who is not terrible in all aspects of their football play, but I will hold off until they sign someone.
Tampa signed Amobi Okoye, helping to upgrade a defensive line that bordered on circus ugly last season. With Gerald McCoy and Brian Price healthy, and the addition of Okoye (as well as the subtraction of Albert Haynesworth) they may have a sporting chance to keep offenses beneath 40 points.
The Panthers gave Steve Smith a contract extension after his comeback year, giving him more cash while clearing up cap space. This is a pretty good move that may create some cap problems in the future, but it is probably best to keep their only legitimate wide receiver happy.
On that note, Carolina is expecting big things out of WR Brandon LaFell. Good luck with that, Panthers, and I hope that keeps them from selecting a pass catcher in the draft.

A 12 volt battery is a type of automotive battery that is rechargeable and supplies electric energy to power the ignition, lighting, and starter of a vehicle. 12 volt car battery provides a total of 12.6 volts at complete charge. A 12 volt battery have lead plates that are submerged into a solution of sulfuric acid and water. The chemical reaction produced by this set up releases electrons that flow through conductors and provide electricity. Discharging the battery changes the plates which is caused by the reaction to the solution and the reversed happens when the 12 volt car battery is recharged and the plates are back to their previous state.
A battery in simple terms stores electricity for later use. A 12 volt battery is very flexible since it can be used in many ways and are made in different sizes and shapes. They can be used as a car battery, children's toys, boats, and many others. There are also rechargeable and non chargeable types. The size of the battery usually determines how much charge it can carry. Battery technology advances allowed manufacturers to create better 12 volt batteries that are smaller and maintains electricity better.
Lead acid 12 volt car batteries are created differently based on its intended use. 12 volt LSI batteries have more number of plates to be able to provide high electricity for a short period of time used in starting of the automobile. They are immediately recharged by the charging system of the engine. Another type provides continuous power for long time by having thicker plates that have higher capacity for charging and discharging. Some car batteries are supposed to be capable of both for starting and supplying for long periods of time.
12v battery using lead plates are filled with water to replace lost water due to electrolysis every time it charges. Some car batteries require only minimum maintenance since they have additional electrolyte which allow losses. Excessive overcharging can cause the liquid solution to drop making the plates exposed to the air which damages it and looses its capacity. Water impurities and other additives can cause the 12v battery to lose performance and shorten its usefulness. It is recommended to use distilled water rather than potable water.
Some 12 volt car batteries have a visible window to determine if the battery is charged. The window changes color as the battery is discharged. Alternatively, a portable hydrometer can be used to check the state of each cells. Lead acid batteries should be kept charged to make it last longer.
Jump starting a 12v car battery can be done using the battery of another vehicle or using a battery booster during emergencies. You can use a car battery charger when the car battery is not charged or slow on charging. If you use a simple car battery charger, you need to maintain a steady charge current and stop the charging to prevent overcharging the battery. Even if the battery is not being used, it should be checked and charged from time to time to maintain its capacity. If you plan on storing a 12v car battery, you should make sure that it is fully charged. Put it in a clean and cool environment to prevent it from discharging easily.

I have two child accounts under my account, both with Live Gold. I have their account set to block friend requests so I can approve them, first. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do that.
They both have a pending friend request, which I can see if I log in on my PC with their account. I cannot see those from their account on the xbox. I also cannot see those friend requests from my account on my PC nor on the Xbox. If I click "accept" from their account in my browser, it gives me an error and says it can't be completed at this time (I expected it to ask me to log in at that point, which it did not).
I tried lowering the permission to allow friend requests on their account. After that, I tried adding their friend from their account, but it says he's already in their friend list?? Can someone please help me understand what I am supposed to do in this convoluted system so they can play with their friends?
Thank you
Hello I found a verified answer in the forums to help you with this. It may be that you were having the same difficulties saving the profile as this father was. Take a look at this link and you can see towards the bottoms what he had done:
I found a very frustrating work-around, but still want to know how this is *supposed* to work.
I had to log in to my account on xbox, change their settings, then log into each of their pages on a PC browser to accept the friend request as them. Then I had to change the settings on each account using my xbox account again.
Is there no way to manage their settings/friend requests from either the PC or Xbox (but not both...) without having to log into two devices with three accounts like this??
All the forum and help entries I can find say the parent account will need to approve all child friend requests, but I cannot find anything at all about *how* to actually do this.
Yes, that appears to be my problem. While I expected the custom settings, including the blocking of friend requests, to act the same way it apparently does not. I never would have figured that out. Thank you so much!
Glad to see HammerfellChick was able to help you out, noahjeff. Happy gaming to you!
