FLORIDA -- For convenience I used Care Credit for a dentistry bill. All went fine with my automatic monthly payment through my bank. No interest, no late fees. After it was paid I again used it for husband's new glasses. I set up a similar payment schedule for the glasses, same date with different monthly amount, of course. On a fixed income, automatic payments are a must for me.
I was unaware that, unlike normal credit cards, the payment date did not remain the same & had changed to 4 days before I had scheduled the automatic payments. I received no late payment notices, but over a 6 month period I was charged $158 in late fees! The initial statement for the glasses included a $55 payment that was not even due until the next month!!! Yet they are saying that the early $55 payment does not count as payment for the next month. That amount was over twice the minimum payment amount, but all that gets me is a "Thank you".
Yes, I should have looked carefully at the statements that were emailed to me, but I was thinking "Credit card - same pay date - all set up with my bank" & just skimmed over the statements. I did not check the statements until I saw that their balance was much different than mine. I called them & was able to have the outstanding balance waived & set to zero, but that did not cover all of the late charges. They will not refund me nearly $70 in overpayments.
DRAPER, UTAH -- This is the most USELESS operation I think I have ever experienced. I applied for this credit with a credit score of 720 in which I think is very good for this day and age. And it asked for the amount that I needed to borrow which was $3400. After I hit the go link, I was automatically approved. All good. But it only gave me a $800 credit. Now my credit is in the good range and I told it the amount that I needed but it chopped 30 points off my credit which puts me into the average in credit score and all for nothing. The card is useless to me and now my credit score is butchered.
So I call to cancel this useless card. Now they say that it could affect my credit score as a bad creditor and butcher yet more points. This is by far the worst line of credit for medical there is and definitely a disaster to your credit. So if you have a miracle doctor that still only charges a few bucks for visits or a dentist that's under $1000 that you can use then maybe this is good for you. BUT if you have a perfect credit then you won't need these crooks. Stay away from these crooks.
This is an open letter to anyone interested in open a Care Credit account. Simply do not do it. My fiancée had to get some dental work done, which was not covered by insurance at the time. So the dentist offered her a Care Credit card with should be paid in full over the course of a 12 month period. Well what they do not tell you is how ** terrible their services really are; after "paying" online for the first 3 months through their website; it turns out none of those payments ever went through; so she incurred $125 in late payment charges for the first 3 months, taking her original payment from $504 to $650.
Over the course of the next 4 months from January until now she has paid $100 a month for the last 4 months. Her bill in January was $554. For Feb was $454. For Mar was $254 and paid. It was down to $154 and now this month it's back to its original cost of $504.
These people are shady and need to be investigated with a lawsuit of fair practices and debt collection. They literally add on a $10 or $11 charge every time you call them to make a payment since their web service sucks so bad. On top of that the "No interest charge" is a ** lie since they will charge you interest on everything that is not the original payment. "Oh you have a late payment." HAHAHA INTEREST. "Oh you called us about your account." HAHAHAHA INTEREST. We have sent in our bank statements to prove that we have paid the last 4 months without being late, and they "HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM".
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- After no contact for a year, these lowlifes start charging me 29% interest, I find out and want to pay off the $300 I owe (I have been on automatic payment for 11 months). Four days before my call they tacked on almost $400 interest for the past year. I want to pay the whole thing off, and that is now almost $800.
It also took over an hour on hold before I could talk to anyone in a managerial capacity as they only have one line from customer service to management and it is always busy. These people did not notify me of anything, no emails, no snail mail, nothing, they tack on all this interest without an opportunity to pay off the balance. This company should be investigated and put out of business.
TEXAS -- My son ended up needing a lot of dental work (he has prenatal issues with his baby teeth). My dentist scared me into using CareCredit to finance it (I later changed dentists and discovered this one was charging exorbitant prices too). I have been making on time payments for almost 4 years now on this. I financed $2.5k and I have now paid over $3.2k and the balance is still well over $2k. It should have come down almost $1k and it hasn't even come down $500.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- So I applied for care credit, I was told I would pay my monthly payments including the interest. My balance never goes down, they might waive late fees but not the interest on the late fees. Total hamster wheel customer service, weird accents so you can't understand what they are saying. You'll die of old age before you end up paying this card. The minimum payment will only make you pay more interest on your next bill. Beware of these money sucking vampires. Care credit CEO must not be human at all.
WHITE PLAINS, GEORGIA -- I have been using Care Credit for about 8 years now and I have never had an issue with them. I have had over $8,000 worth of dental work over the years and Care Credit has been a life saver for me. I have only had to call once to increase my credit line and the representative was friendly and helpful. If you read the contract, pay like you are supposed to, you will not have a problem with this company.
I just got off the phone with a CareCredit customer service rep, and I was hoping they would actually have me complete the survey they promised at the end of our call because I would have been happy to air my grievance there. But, no surprise, there was no survey after our call, so I'll grieve here instead.
A previous reviewer talked about the rudeness of the customer service reps--100% agreement! First I was given a woman with such a thick accent that I couldn't understand a word she said. Wanting to be kind, I told her that her accent was beautiful, but that my hearing wasn't great and I was having trouble understanding her, and asked if I could speak with someone else. She sent me to a whole different department (merchant services) that couldn't help me at all, and they sent me back to customer service. This time. I got a rude lady (no accent). She had zero skill in soothing a customer's ruffled feathers--why are people like this given customer service jobs?
I complained that even though I faithfully make my monthly payment on time, and pay my full balances within the demanded time, I have been charged interest and a fee this year on my balance. She explained (in a tone that sounded like, "You idiot, you should know this") that a portion of my bill had been "non-promotional"--she kept repeating this phrase as though I should know exactly what that meant. I finally told her I didn't know what she meant by "non-promotional", and only then did she go out of her way to explain that if your bill is under $200, you get charged interest until that portion is paid off!
I also told her that the chat feature which their site claims to have was nowhere in sight on my computer. She said to go to Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome and it would most likely be there. I tried that and, again, there was no chat link to be found. She said, "Well, I'm on that page and I see it on mine"--in that same condescending tone, as though she was certain I was looking straight at that chat button but was just too stupid to see it. Never did resolve that one--the chat feature simply wasn't there. Last thing I needed was a copy of an old statement which wouldn't print at the time I tried to print it (Their site is tweaky sometimes and won't cough up what you need).
She asked if I wanted a paper statement sent. Suspecting hidden charges on everything with this company, I asked if there was a charge for that, and she informed me in her "what idiot wouldn't know there was a charge?" tone that it would cost me $4. In surprise, I mused, "A $4 charge..." Her cold response: "Yep." Very short with me, very uncharming, terrible representative of the company. I told her I would be glad to respond to their promised survey--but that never came. I had been telling others about CareCredit and right now have two friends who were going to look into getting it for their vet needs. I will advise them otherwise.
UTAH -- This little 80 year old lady in Michigan used Care Credit for $8000 in dental work that she had to have done. Her monthly payments were about $141 each month and she paid Care Credit $300 per month and did not missed one payment and the term was for 24 months. The lady has eyesight issues and missed see that her term was for 24 months and at the end of the 24 months she was required to pay the balance of $1700 off. She kept paying the $300 a month thinking that she was paying off her loan ahead of schedule.
She called Care Credit because her monthly statement went for $1700 to $5,800 and they told her that she was being accessed a $5,038 interest fee because she didn't pay her balance within the 24 month time frame. She offered to pay the $1700 balance and Care credit refused to accept her offer and told her she was to pay the $5800.
The little 80 year old lady on a fixed income had to take the $5800 out of her savings to pay off Care Credit and stop the interest from building up. I know this because I do this ladies accounting. I wouldn't use Care Credit if they were the last company on earth. PERIOD! Beware!

Thank you IM Pfren. I find your analysis very instructive. However, when I put the position into my computer (Houdini Pro running on Core i5 processor), after 30 minutes it gave Rfe8 over Nc5. I'd be curious about how the game would play out then. Of course, black is passive, but will end up with a solid defensible position. So can white eventually break through?
...Nc5 with ideas of playing Ne4 or trading it off. The knight isn't doing much sitting on d7.
yes i had the same idea to maybe free the bishop that way, but because i couldnt calculate a line were i was sure it would free the bishop, i thought it would be bad because its a so much better piece then blacks bishop, even though it probably needs to many tempos to ever get developed.
30 minutes is not enough for an engine to conclude. Anyway...
After 18...Rfe8 19.h4! the engines suggest countering with 19...h5, which initially is evaluated as almost equal. However, the truth is that after 20.c3! (the d3 bishop is valuable, once Black has volutarily weakened the g6 square) Black is at a loss. My Houdini after ten minutes says +0.70, which is less than fair: Black is definitely in deep trouble. If Black does not play 19...h5, then white does play h4-h5 himself, with a multitude of dangerous threats.
So what would have been the correct plan for black there?
Umm... reading my previous posts, probably?
@elephant007: look post #43 please and don't trust your computer always!
black idea's-- can bring knight to c4/c5 or try to exchange the knights,doubling rooks in the semi-open c-file,play(opening up the) queenside
white's plans--playing kingside,attacking blacks kingside by playing g4 & h4..,doubling rooks in g file
Thanks for the post.

(AP) The White House has issued a veto threat for a House bill to overturn President Barack Obama's health care law.
The White House says the repeal would cost millions of American families the security of affordable health coverage.
House Republicans are scheduled to vote to overturn the law this week. The vote is largely symbolic since it has no chance of passage in the Democrat-controlled Senate. But the vote will put House members on record for the upcoming election campaign.
The legislative effort follows the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law's mandate that individuals buy health insurance or face a penalty.

Yeah, the title is technical, but here is a case where what looks to be an error has been propagated into numerous papers and the Wikipedia article. The subject is the unscented Kalman filter, which is a way of estimating parameters given measurements that are nonlinear functions of those parameters. Part of the procedure is to compute a covariance matrix, a matrix that must be positive definite, by weighting a bunch of positive semidefinite matrices and adding them up. Now positive semidefinite matrices are a bit like non-negative numbers: if you multiply them by positive numbers and add up the results, you get a positive semidefinite matrix. In fact, the result should actually be positive if the unscented Kalman filter is applicable at all. But... let some of the multipliers be negative and all bets are off. Now one of the multiplicative weights one computes from the formulas in the articles can be negative. And not just a little negative, but negative enough that cancellation of terms leads to significant loss in numerical precision.
Pah, I went and derived the dang thing for myself. Then I went to the original paper where, lo and behold, it was done as G*d intended. Looking at the now universal screw up that fills the whole first page of a google search, it looks to me like it started as a punctuation error: confusing a dash with a minus. It's funny how these things propagate. And how few people really try to understand the tools they use. Reminds me of a citation error in Herzberg's famous spectroscopy book: article after article repeated the cite, they were all wrong. Apparently no one had actually read the paper they cited.
Of course, I might be wrong. But I don't think so.

Hi all,
First of all, I'm sorry because my english is very bad.
I'm a very proud and happy user of a Pre2. It was given to me one year ago and it worked fine, but it had a aestethic problem in the screen. This is the "A" device
A few days ago, another Pre2 falled in my hands (the "B" device). It was broken (the slide mechanism), but the rest os the device looked good (of course, the screen too).
Note: both Pre2 are the free european model
That was what I was waiting for a long time: a spare screen to replace!!!!
Well, after reading a lot, seeing videos and so, I disassembled both phones and put the "B" screen in the "A" device. I think I did everything OK, but, after turning it on, the Pre2 started but the digitizer didn't work. I tried to touch the screen to unlock it but... nothing happened.
Of course, I could unlock the phone with the keyboard, bur after that, the digitizer remained K.O.
I disassmbled and reassemblen the phone half a dozen times... and always the same. Digitizer didn't like my fingers.
At this piont, I tried to fix the slide problem of the "B" device and I did it. I put the "A" screen in the repaired "b" device, turned it on and... the same result!!!! The digitizer didn't work.
My final attempt: I put the "A" screen in the "A" device, and the "B" screen in the "B" device and I hoped that "A" should work like always but... the same again!!! none of the both digitizers worked!!!!
Well, I'm sure I've been making the same mistake all the time, but.... what?
I'm sure (?) I plugged everything in its connector, but I had to miss something.
Please, help me!!!!!
Here is a picture of a logic board (not mine, I took the picture from the internet). I've marked in blue all the connectors I plugged:
1: micro
2: LCD display
3: speaker and proximity sensor
4: digitizer (I guess)
5 and 6: to the "other part" of the phone
Please, please.... what am I doing wrong?
Lots of thanks in advance,

you may have torn the ribbon that goes into what you've labeled "blue circle 4".
i had a cracked Pre2 screen where the touch still worked perfectly. when removing it, i tore the ribbon that goes into #4. after reassembly, no more touch function, but it still displayed well. that ribbon may not be seated all the way, or it may have torn.
remember, those white connections have grey lock tabs. unlock the grey tab by flipping it up, then slide in the ribbon and lock it back down. if you have not unlocked them, they may be only partially inserted.
check my picture here of my torn ribbon piece positioned over its connector.
good luck

Thanks for your help...
...but when I was disassembling both Pre 2 I realized that I had to open the gry lock tabs in #1, #3 and #4, so the ribon should be OK, Igues....
How can I check the digitizer? Is there any way to do it?
I'll try to put some real pictures of my two Pre2 to see if you can give me a clue. I'm really lost and sad without my Pre2.
Thank you

After lots of tries I did a deep chech of the ribbon and, with magnifier glass, I realized that the last track was broken.
Bad news... but at last I found a logical answer.
Fortunately, I could fix it with my tin solder and patience.
Now my pre2 is working again.
Best regards,

If Washington were about to kill the stock market and destroy the nation's pristine credit rating, Goldman Sachs would not allow Twitter to go public.
Goldman Sachs has better information than almost anyone, the result of powerful databases and a robust social network that keeps it tapped into the market's vitals. It is likely that a social-networking service that lets people post terse messages of 140 characters or less will be a hot, oversubscribed stock offering that mints many millionaires, and possibly a few billionaires.
That Twitter's offering document was filed as congressional dithering over the budget threatens the markets is perhaps the best summing up of the bullish forces beneath the stock market's surface.
This bullish activity is occurring far from the reactionary radars of the many public pundits palavering about an ignominious end to a rally that has lifted the Standard & Poor's 500 index some 20% this year. Many stocks are up even more than the index.
To be sure, it is possible that Congress will push the U.S. government to default on its debt, and the consequences would be catastrophic, but footprints in the options and stock market indicate that sophisticated investors are sanguine.
Correlation among stocks, a measure of risk, is low, even though earnings season is nigh and companies are once more expected to have difficulty posting meaningful revenue growth. Still, investors are buying stocks and calls while sprinkling cash in a variety of portfolio hedges, just in case congressional bickering harms the nation and the financial markets. The belief is that the Bernanke Put trumps all.
Relative value strategies are now popular, since the trade shorting Treasuries and buying the Standard & Poor's 500 has mostly ended. Investors are buying stocks that have lagged or outperformed the sector. JPMorgan's strategists, for example, are advising clients to buy Bank of America BAC -0.5128205128205128% Bank of America Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD15.52 -0.08 -0.5128205128205128% /Date(1474664419958-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 50626018 AFTER HOURS USD15.53 0.01 0.06443298969072164% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 978406 P/E Ratio 13.385079775765416 Market Cap 158378497640.137 Dividend Yield 1.9329896907216495% Rev. per Employee 431596 More quote details and news » (BAC) and short Fifth Third FITB 0.5769230769230769% Fifth Third Bancorp U.S.: Nasdaq USD20.92 0.12 0.5769230769230769% /Date(1474664400338-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5691998 AFTER HOURS USD20.92 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 42083 P/E Ratio 10.254901960784315 Market Cap 16032544628.7822 Dividend Yield 2.48565965583174% Rev. per Employee 373090 More quote details and news » (FITB) and BB&T BBT -0.7079181961195595% BB&T Corp.

Across the market, the implied volatility of bullish call options is often increasing. In some instances, call volatility is unusually high. Consider Apple AAPL -1.666375850636887% Apple Inc.

That call volatility is rising as Congress dithers is a strong indication of bullish sentiment. If investors were worried, bearish put volatility would increase. In fact, a key measure of investor fear about owning stocks, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, remains relatively muted at about 17, a solid distance from the 20-level that many investors believe divides bull and bear stock markets.
CORRELATION, WHICH MEASURES the synchronicity of stocks, declined in the past week for all but two of 10 Standard & Poor's 500 index sectors. Materials and utilities correlation did not decline, according to Goldman Sachs' research. The two sectors that declined the most: financials and energy. When investors are afraid of macro-market risks, correlation rises. A popular interpretation of low correlation is that Wall Street thinks Congress will blink in the budget stalemate with the White House over health care, and stocks will rally.
Some big investors have strong conviction about this. On Thursday, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off as much as 160 points, Credit Suisse reported that a client bought 60,000 October 14 VIX puts in that session—a bet that S&P 500 index volatility will collapse, which would occur if the index advanced.
And so, dear readers, this is how the smart money is positing itself, even though it is October, one of the market's most volatile months. If Congress blinks, much money will be made. If not, a lot of people will lose a lot of money in less time than it will take for rating agencies to lower the U.S.' debt rating.

Schaefer: This is The Highest Grossing PPV of All-Time
By Rick Reeno
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) will be the highest grossing pay-per-view event of all-time. The current record is $136,000 million, set down by the 2007 Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather pay-per-view. The Showtime pay-per-view has a price tag of $64.95 and $74.95 for high definition.
Mayweather-Canelo has already broken the highest gate record, with a tally of $20,003,150. The previous gate record of $18,419,200 was held by De La Hoya-Mayweather.
"I got pictures last night at 12:30 and people were already camping for the weigh-in. I'm am very, very confident to say that this is the highest grossing boxing event of all-time - there is no question about it. The 2.5 [million buy], I'm not prepared to say that [it will be broken]," Schaefer said.
"The gross is bigger than [De La Hoya-Mayweather]. I'm pretty confident that it will be over 2 million [buys], very confident. It will break the highest gross [of $136,000 million by De La Hoya-Mayweather]."
Schaefer explained why the Mayweather-Canelo pay-per-view has become such a massive record-breaking event.
"It's around the world, we heard that the pay-per-view record in Australia is going to be broken. The closed circuit record in Australia will be broken. [The pay-per-view] is in 162 countries. You have the two best fighters fighting each other and two fighters with a lot of charisma. I have to pat ourselves on the back as well, because there is nobody with the pay-per-view machinery [of Golden Boy] - promoting it in 9,000 movie theaters with commercials a month out. AT&T committing $10 million dollars in advertising. Corona had 25,000 stores promoting the event. The largest automotive parts stores company in the United States, O'Reilly, activating the event in over 5,000 stores. With all of these things, you surround the consumer with the message that there is a big fight."
"Even some of the media guys who are in Top Rank's pocket, even those guys have to admit now - the difference between us and the second biggest promotional company in the world, which is Top Rank, and the [gap] is getting bigger by the day."

Rash of burglaries prompts meeting in KillingtonMay 08,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON - The public is invited to attend a neighborhood watch meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Sherburne Memorial Library.
"It's important for citizens to get involved as much as they can, when they can," said Whit Montgomery, Killington's first constable.
The town has seen seven burglaries in recent months, with six of the seven happening in second homes. Montgomery said six of the seven appear to be connected and asked the public to attend the meeting and to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
"I just urge people to be vigilant and if they see something strange or out of place to not be afraid to pick up the phone and report it," Montgomery said.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

I want to perform outer join between two tables using non-equal operator.
Can anyone suggest how can this be achieved using Analytic view of SAP HANA modeler.
Hi Varun,
The Data foundation in Analytic view provides outer joins, referential joins and inner joins. These are all equi joins. The Logical view provides join capabilities with the attribute views with equi join and Temporal join (non equi join).
The SQL based Calc view provides all possibilities of equi and non equi joins.
Can you please provide more details on your requirement so that it can be properly discussed.
Temporal Join feature is supported in SP5 release of HANA I guess.
I have two date columns in one table fromdate and todate. I want to join it with the date table based on that date falls between from and to date.
Can this be achieved through CE functions as well?
Hi Varun,
As you correctly mentioned the temporal join for attribute views is supported from SP05 onwards. Please note that it is supported for "Attribute views". So if you need some measures from the table which has from_date and to_date and need to join this with the transaction table, then you can perform that in the attribute view join. But then you may not be able to use any measures from the table containing from_date and to_date.
The 'between' join is also not currently available with the CE functions.
I would suggest the following:
1) You can create another data layer to store your 'derived' data with the from and to date logic
2) You can use SQL based calc view and use the query to derive the values based on the logic.
Thanks Ravi. I check going with option 1 and see how it goes.
Hi Varun
Did you manage to implement option 1? It would be interesting to know about the performance of option 1 as you would have created calculated columns as your 'derived data' which SAP would not recommend that they be used in join conditions.
I tried using SQL Server syntax for "between join". I was hoping that "between join" was implemented in HANA, even though I could not find it in the documentation. It looks like it works.
I started with small sample table of contracts and a one-column table of calendar days. I was able to join them in SQL. This gave me the number of days covered by contract, even if contracts overlap.
SELECT "SERIAL_NUMBER", COUNT(DISTINCT cal."CalendarDays")CT
FROM "SCHEMANAME"."CONTRACT_TEST" contr
JOIN "SCHEMANAME"."CALENDAR_DAYS" cal
ON cal."CalendarDays" BETWEEN contr."ContractStart" AND contr."ContractEnd"
This won't work as an analytic view, but I think it would be OK as a SQLScript calculation view.
Between join you can do it graphically in HANA as this is the temporal join. That works well but is limited to using referential join. Problem is when you have an outer between join condition you cannot use temporal join in HANA.
Hi Patrick,
I have a similar issue where I'm trying to fetch data that lies between a range ( A left join).
For e.g., my Employee table has 2 columns named 'From' and 'To'.
And I want this joined with a table named 'Calendar' and join all dates that lie between this range.
While trying to fetch this data in a Calculation View, I was able to achieve it with a SQL syntax like Kristina mentioned, using the BETWEEN operator in my join.
Here's a part of the code:
But, the issue is this deals with a large volume of data and the execution fails with an Error like: Column Store error; memory allocation failed.
Is there a possibility to achieve this in the CE language?
Or, is there any other workaround to achieve this?

Knee injury at Jiu Jitsu (okay, in the locker room after class. Just one of those odd/inexplicable tweaks), so no squatting. Makes me a sad panda, but I did my best anyway:
Chin-ups: BW + 85 lbs: 3/3/2(f)

Deadlift: 410: 2/2/1
Sumo Deadlift (with straps. HERESY!): 275: 10/10/10
Jiu Jitsu tomorrow night in whatever capacity the knee allows me to participate, and Warrior Dash Saturday afternoon. Knee better cooperate or I'll be scaling obstacles strongly favoring my left leg. Luckily, 7 or 8 of my co-workers are going with me, so I'll be going easy in order to allow the desk jockeys to keep pace.

The tragic April 17 explosion at the fertilizer plant in West, Texas was, in part, a product of a severe lack of accountability and oversight by its company, West Fertilizer. The blast killed 14 people and injured at least 200, and it's no wonder: last year, the facility was storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would typically draw concern from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
West Fertilizer was required to tell DHS about the abnormal chemical amount. It reportedly failed, however, to disclose that information. Fertilizer plants are required by law to disclose with DHS any amount of the substance that exceeds 400 lbs. Filings by the company this year with the Texas Department of State Health Services (but not DHS) reveal that the plant had 270 tons of it in 2012.
Ammonium nitrate can be used in bomb making, and, perhaps disturbingly, this plant stored more than 100 times the amount of ammonium nitrate used by domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Though DHS had the authority to carry out an inspection of the plant (followed by a potential fine or complete shutdown), it "only has a small number of field auditors" who do that, said plant owner Donald Adair. As there was no interaction between West Fertilizer and DHS, the latter was unable to assess the ammonium nitrate quantity and devise security and safety plans based on it.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mass., member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, remarked, "It seems this [company] was willfully off the grid. This facility was known to have chemicals well above the threshold amount to be regulated under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Act, yet we understand that DHS did not even know the plant existed until it blew up."
Thompson shared the public's assessment that the explosion was caused when the ammonium nitrate was somehow set ablaze. "I strongly believe that if the proper safeguards were in place, as they are at thousands of DHS-regulated plants across the country, the loss of life and destruction could have been far less extensive."
This information came after the already-worrying revelation that the facility had not been inspected by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in five years. And prior to that, it had run into other issues: it was cited in 2006 for not having a permit by the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality. It was also issued a $2,300 penalty by the EPA around that time for similar reasons.
Sam Mannan, director of the process safety center at Texas A&M University added, "This shows that the enforcement routine has to be more robust, on local, state, and federal levels. If information isn't shared with agencies, which is what appears to have happened here, then the regulations won't work."
"That's just a god-awful amount of ammonium nitrate," said Bryan Haywood, who owns a hazardous chemical consulting firm in Milford, Ohio. "As a former HAZMAT coordinator, that would have been a red flag for me."

OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: NY 218
October 30, 2000
Contact: Chester J. Fultz
Joint labor/management effort to reduce employee deaths and injuries
at construction sites throughout New York State
The U. S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will sign a "Platinum Partnership" agreement with the Associated Builders and Contractors Association (ABC), Empire State Chapter, at noon on Tuesday, October 31. The agreement recognizes those contractors within the association who are committed to and who have demonstrated exemplary safety and health programs at their work sites, including providing site-specific safety and health training for their employees.
The goal of the cooperative partnership between OSHA and ABC is to reduce the number of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities at construction sites throughout the State of New York, with special emphasis on reducing injuries and deaths resulting from falls and electrocutions.
"Falls, electrocutions and accidents in which employees are struck by or caught in various materials account for the majority of fatalities and serious injuries at construction sites", Patricia K. Clark, regional OSHA administrator said. "One of OSHA's goals, as outlined in the agency's strategic plan, is to reduce fatalities by 15% in the construction industry. This partnership demonstrates OSHA's commitment to work cooperatively with employers and employee associations who are proactively making an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities at their work sites, as some of these ABC contractors have done."
ABC, which signed a national partnership agreement with OSHA in February, is a national association representing approximately 22,000 contractors in 83 chapters across the country. The Empire State Chapter serves more than 300 members and employs approximately 9,000 construction workers across New York State.
Platinum partnership contractors are required to meet stringent safety guidelines, including:
- having an occupational injury and illness rate of less than 8.0. The average injury and illness rate for the construction industry is 8.8
- having a site specific written safety and health program, based upon either American National Standards Institute or OSHA guidelines, that includes employee involvement.
- providing training for employees on hazards specific to their jobs.
- providing effective supervisor training modeled on OSHA's 10-hour construction safety course.
- designating a safety manager who receives training equivalent to OSHA's 30-hour construction safety training course.
- having a past history that includes no willful or repeat serious violations for the last three years, and no fatalities or catastrophic accidents in the last three years that resulted in serious citations.
OSHA provides incentives to employers to encourage them to enter into platinum partnerships, including:
- not targeting a job site for a planned or "programmed" inspection once a verification inspection has been completed.
- conducting unplanned site inspections only in response to reports of imminent danger, fatality, or catastrophic accident, and a signed complaint from an employee.
- responding to all other complaints by contacting the employer by telephone and faxing a letter to the employer outlining the complaint.
OSHA has seven offices in New York State:

Wilderness Retreats
Overview of Wilderness Retreats
On our wilderness retreats, we practice mindfulness meditation, honing our awareness of the natural world, and connecting with each other through small group relational activities.
Why a Mindfulness Retreat in the Wilderness?
Spending time in the wilderness naturally deepens a sense of interconnectedness; when we add meditation, mindful hiking and other contemplation practices we create an even more powerful experience of our place here as part of the whole.
Our wilderness retreats allow teens and young adults to drop into their minds in a way that they have never experienced before. As one of the founders of our teen participants says, "The beauty of coming to practice mindfulness in the wilderness is allowing us to return to our 'natural' mind, a mind uncluttered by busyness and technology—a mind free to take in the vastness of the earth and the spaciousness of our consciousness."
For more information about location, gear needed, retreat format, experience of the staff and more, please see our Wilderness Retreat FAQ.
Upcoming Retreats
Emigrant Wilderness Teen/Young Adult Retreat
August 2nd-11th, 2016
Learn More | Register
We begin our Emigrant Wilderness retreats with two nights all together at a retreat center where we will be introduced to mindfulness meditation and prepare for our wilderness excursion. On the second morning, we will set off in small groups of 13 (10 participants and three staff per group) into the backcountry of the Emigrant Wilderness to explore both our inner landscape and the outer landscape that surrounds us.
Adult Retreats
Our adult retreats are a wonderful way to experience our teen retreat model. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or an interested practitioner, our retreats offer you a multi-faceted mindfulness practice.
For more information on our teachers and guides for these retreats, please see below and also click here for a full list.
Khalila Archer, iBme's Program Director, has worked as an outdoor educator since 2004 with extensive experience facilitating groups of teenagers and young adults on multi-day wilderness excursions. She holds a B.A. in Adventure-based Environmental Education from Prescott College and has worked for a variety of educational programs throughout the United States. Introduced to mindfulness meditation at a teen retreat when she was 16 years old, Khalila has cultivated a daily practice and endeavors to sit yearly retreats. She sees mindfulness practice as not only valuable for her own well-being but necessary in her evolution as more loving, engaged and present human being.
Khalila's motivation to teach is derived from her love of adventure and an intimate connection with wild places. She deeply believes in the power of personal transformation both through the inward focus of meditation and the outward exploration of the natural world. Through integrating humor, reflection, strong effort and play she creates a learning environment that supports personal growth for her students.
Andrew Archer (Archer) is the Logistics Manager for iBme's Wilderness Programs. He holds a B.A. in Adventure Education from Prescott College and has worked for organizations across the U.S. leading wilderness trips for teens. His interest in his own practice was sparked through collaborating on iBme's inaugural Wilderness Retreat in 2013. Although new to mindfulness, Archer has always spent time reflecting in wild spaces and he's excited to share his connection to wilderness with young people. When he's not leading backpacking retreats for iBme, he spends his time as a carpenter, climber, artist, and caregiver at his local animal shelter.
Lawrence Schuessler is currently a trip leader and professional outdoors educator for Life School's Go Adventure, an organization which has provided outdoor experiences to over 2,500 youth from 6 countries and 12 states since 1999. In addition to working for Life School's Go Adventure, Lawrence has worked for various organizations such as Outward Bound, Prescott College, the Eagle Rock School, the Crossroads School, the Dunn School and Rubicon Outdoors. Lawrence has also spent the past 9 years practicing mindfulness meditation and various styles of yoga. Leading wilderness exploration courses, combined with mindfulness, are a way of life for Lawrence and he is grateful to be able to extend his love of the wild to young people and hopefully inspire them to live with passion, a sense of adventure and a respect for nature. Lawrence has spent over 1,000+ days in various wilderness areas all over the world and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Happy Fall! Things have been moving fast over here and I have lots of fun running updates coming soon. While I fell off posting about all my training and hard work for the Hamptons half marathon, I swear it did get done! That weekend changed my life..but more to come on that soon.
I have been going through a lot of changes recently, at work mostly, but at home too… trying to adjust to a busier schedule all while keeping up with things that make me happy (see pics below). One thing I have been learning to appreciate is the highs and lows of what motivates me. Right now I am still super motivated to stick to my workout schedule which I am thrilled about because usually that is the first thing to go when I am stressed. I am not so motivated to cook, clean, or even write. Writing is an outlet for me so this one is tough on my mind. I have realized that forcing myself to do things when I am not motivated to extremely affects the outcome and quality of why I do them in the first place, especially when it comes to writing (a girl's still gotta eat). I would rather take some time to stare up at clouds through the trees and find inspiration in nature, so that when I am ready, my whole heart is ready.
In the meantime, I am grateful. I am grateful for the wonderful season of fall and all the colors and change it brings. I am thankful for Tom and my family and friends and the strength of their support I feel on a daily basis. I am thankful to have little miss Lucy to chase around and watch grow. I am pretty lucky, I must say. I have chosen positivity and happiness through all the change and I can tell you, it feels good.
Exciting things are to come, I can feel it! Until next time..

Skip to comments.Trayvon Martin Killing: Friend Tells ABC News Howls on 911 Tapes Belong to Zimmerman, Not Martin
Posted on 03/24/2012 9:51:42 PM PDT by kristinn
click here to read article
Let's ponder the evidence then.
Listen to call 1, that's George's only call.
Point 1: Where at any point in this call does george say "f***ing coons"?
Point 2: George begins to run after the suspect or at least give pursuit at faster than walking pace. The operator asks him are you following him. Yes, replies George. Ok, we don't need you to do that. OK. He ran - past tense implies that Trayvon got away as opposed to he's running which was stated earlier. The running stops, this is apparent because the noise of running stops. George obeyed the request.
At this point the operator asks where do you want to meet the officers and George says something about his truck. I am going to theorize that at this point George would be returning to his truck, because he is no longer chasing Martin, and I expect that he intended to meet the police there, however, this is my speculation.
In the very least we know that at this time he was no longer running after Martin, and he also stated that martin "ran".
I cannot and will not state that Zimmerman started any sort of violent confrontation by evidence of this phone call.
A stalking case has to be built with multiple incidents over a period of time.
Following someone isnot a crime, furthermore, George broke off the follow upon request of the 911 operator.
Listen to the call.
Call 1
We need a neighborhood map with: entrances, crime scene, convenience store, Trayvon's residence, Zimmerman's pickup location, first sighting....
What do you think?
"I cannot agree that Zimmerman was the aggressor", I too believe Trayvon's case is weak, and getting weaker still for the race pimps lining up on his side.
Thanks for the ping. As usual, your post is excellent.
"their rate of violence towards whites is so much higher than the reverse it's basically incalculable"
And we won't hear much about that because it doesn't fit the MSM agenda.
"whether or not Zimmerman was wrong doesn't matter to me anymore"
I'm feeling the same way actually. The fact that this is a huge sensationlized media piece is enough for me to realize the race baiters, the media, the celebrities, the politicians speaking about this incident care nothing about anyone involved or the issues that make the climate what it is today. They aren't interested in any factual information.
Personally, I don't need a map, but I expect that we will have one eventually.
All the evidence needed to dispute the media manufactured version of events is right there in that recorded call.
Thia Florida circus being about Obama and his using the White House to promote the Derrick Bell/Separatist teaching? That Reverend Wright was right, after all?
I agree, again. Absence of Map notwithstanding.
O.K. You're entitled to your opinion.
But has it occurred to you to ask "Why is this suddenly news, when it happened a month ago (Feb 26)?" The story was fully-reported locally, yet there were no protests at the time, nor any political issues raised.
So, why did it go national four weeks later? And why was the eyewitness testimony -- which led the local story -- left out of the initial accounts?
Who decided that the media should re-circulate the story four weeks after the fact? And why? In other words, "Who sought to...and is using...you?"

Why is it suddenly national news -- four weeks after it was a routine local news story that evidently aroused no hackles or contention?
And, when re-circulated nationally, a key eyewitness account was left out -- an eyewitness account that actually led in the local story?
Surely, you understand why these questions need to be asked?
Here is a link to the Florida Statute:
Title XLVI CRIMES
Chapter 776
View Entire Chapter
776.013 Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.
In fact, I'm wondering who identified it as a "stand your ground" case in the first place.
Somebody had to make it a public issue -- if Jeb Bush felt called upon to deny that it fit the definition. And it certainly spawned a liberal movement to "repeal stand your ground laws".
Yet, it clearly doesn't apply to the case.
Excellent observation. Liberals clearly don't like the "Stand Your Ground" law, and are deliberately using this case to try to weaken it!
I wish it were so. I keep thinking if things get even worse than it is in this country, so many will have to see the light and admit they were wrong. Some are so brain dead/washed, they would never be able to admit they are wrong. Some are so prideful they would never admit it. Some are so deceitful and hateful they would never admit it. Some have an agenda like Obama and Sharpton that they will never admit it. Just like this case. It won't happen. I'm hoping it will peter out once the steam is released—that's if we are lucky.

Can everybody cut the cr*p on all this "colourless, tasteless, essential for life" stuff?
YES! It is colourless, tasteless and essential for life. But, to borrow a phrase, "excatly deos your rant have to do with Anthropogenic Global Warming"?
Even aside from that, things in our surrounds are rarely either good or bad, but tend to depend on where and in quantities they exist - even pure water can poison us. If you consider it relevant, I know for a fact that CO2 kills mice. Does that change anything for you? No, didn't think so ... thats because ITS IRRELEVANT!
The only relevant question you can ask about the nature of CO2 is whether it traps energy by absorbing infrared radiation, which it does. The rest of the arguments have nothing to do with the nature of CO2 and everything to do with how much of it there is, where it is found, and how much this demonstrated physical effect has on our climate in comparison with other mechanisms which govern our climate.
I'm sick of these ad moleculem arguments!

Lewkowicz: Sergio Martinez Has Score To Settle With Cotto
By Ben Jacobs
BoxingScene today caught up with Promoter/Advisor Sampson Lewkowicz by telephone as he was entering the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas to meet with HBO executives.
Sampson revealed that negotiations for a blockbuster fight between Sergio Martínez and Miguel Cotto are at an advanced stage.
"Team Martínez is focused on this fight, he would love to fight Cotto, it's good for the fans and for boxing," he said.
"It could be at the New York Giants football stadium [MetLife] in New Jersey, it would be an historical event that would be part of the continuation from Argentina where there were 50,000 fans cheering for Sergio. It would be in June on the weekend of the Puerto Rican parade.
"It will take a few weeks to finalize all the details, but Lou DiBella will start to work most likely in the next week or so on the contracts. It will be, you know, between 50 and 60 pages of contracts. It will take long but everybody's on board."
Cotto is coming off an impressive stoppage win over Delvin Rodríguez in Orlando last Saturday. As such, the time now appears right for the two men to square off.
"Cotto won his fight and he believes he can beat Martínez, Martínez believes he can beat Cotto, so it's a 50/50.
"Martínez feels very insulted that Cotto didn't show him any respect when they met at the ESPN Deportes studios in Mexico City. Martínez has respect for every champion and he feels Cotto showed no respect. They've never had a conversation but you will see an aggressive Martínez at the press conference, he dislikes him a lot."
Lewkowicz also ruled out any lingering possibility that may have existed for a rematch between Martínez and Julio César Chávez Jr.
"I believe very strongly that I'll be an astronaut before Chávez Jr makes 160lbs again. There's nothing to discuss as far as a rematch is concerned," he affirmed.
Another of Sampson's fighters, Gabriel Campillo, was recently stopped by Andrzej Fonfara despite appearing to be ahead in the fight on the scorecards.
"Campillo is taking a long vacation to see the future. He doesn't want to be an opponent for anyone so he's carefully thinking about to continue or retire. He got tired - there was a lot of pressure. He ran out of gas."
Lewkowicz revealed that Javier Fortuna's proposed bout scheduled for October 19 has been moved to November 23 due to an issue with the IBF and a women's championship match scheduled to take place on the card. He added that Fortuna is likely to feature on the proposed Martínez/Cotto undercard.
Cotto will wait till Martinez is 40, run the whole fight and hope that fight will get stopped because of Martinez's knee. If not, Cotto takes a knee in the 10th :lol1:Comment by borikua on 10-16-2013
I wonder what the **** happen between these two..Comment by Da Boxer on 10-16-2013
[QUOTE=thatdudespits;13844179]Styles make fights... I truly believe Cotto TKOs Martinez under 9 rounds.

Excellent apartment, location and views. There are no flaws. Also priced right. The hosts are very curious and helpful. We are looking forward to returning soon, maybe with our children. Thank you.
I stayed at the Herenstraat Apartments in Amsterdam in June and had a fantastic time. The unit was absolutely perfect with a wonderful canal view and in one of the best neighborhoods.It was impeccably furnished, modern and clean. Ken and Vlad and their staff were wonderful and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.
The apartment we had on the second floor was just as pictured. Spacious, immaculate and nicely appointed. The view from the huge living room windows is spectacular and the rear bedroom is peaceful and quiet. Entryway, hall and stairs are welcoming. Vlad and Ken are there when you need them and very responsive. There were absolutely no unwelcome surprises, only satsifactions. The location just couldn't be better, everything we wanted to do in easy walking distance. This was one of the best renting experiences we have had, eith abroad or in the states.
My mom and I stayed at the Herenstraat Apartments for a week at the end of June. As per the instructions received at booking, we called when we arrived in the early afternoon. As someone had just checked-out we were able to leave our bags, borrow an umbrella, and go for lunch while we waited for the apartment. As you're warned when you receive your booking confirmation, the stairs to the apartment are very narrow and very steep - stick with small bags and use the wall to balance yourself. Vlad took us to the apartment for a tour and showed us how to work all the appliances, which was helpful. The apartment was simply but stylishly furnished. It was very clean with the exception of the fact that the outdoor chairs didn't appear to have been wiped down (it was raining when we arrived and only got nice the next day so that may have been why).Wi-fi was available, and coffee / tea and some basic toiletries supplies were provided.We loved the location. There was a wine store on the corner and several very good restaurants along the street (we ate at Seasons twice). A yummy bakery was just across the canal (great for pastries for breakfast and sausage rolls for snacks) and a grocery store was within a 5-7 minute walk. The Anne Frank House was the closest major attraction. This is also one of the pick-up locations for the canal bus, which is very convenient (although Amsterdam is certainly a walkable city regardless).This was the first time that I've stayed in a furnished rental and, to be honest, I nearly had a fit over the prospect of not having a concierge (I was travelling with my husband when my family made the reservation). I was particularly concerned because 1. I love good restaurants and want recos from a local, and 2. we were in town to watch a sporting tournament which was outside of central Amsterdam and I certainly wasn't going to waste vacation time taking public transit and taxi service is not particularly reliable in Amsterdam. I emailed Ken and Vlad prior to arriving and they recommended a fantastic taxi service that essentially acted as a car service for us for the entire trip (to and from the airport and to and from the sports venue in the early evenings). The apartments also had a small "guidebook" on the coffee table with key contact numbers, restaurant recommendations, etc. Vlad also was happy to mark sites on our map for us when we arrived.The check-out process was very simple. Overall, I was very happy with our stay and would certainly stay there the next time I'm in Amsterdam.A Tip - My uncle and aunt stayed in the apartment above us. The furnishings were essentially the same and the layout was quite similar. Personally, I preferred the apartment we had on the lowest floor – fewer scary stairs and a bigger balcony.

Very quiet
Had to replace an old unit and chose this one because it looks like a higher end appliance. Installation was a bit difficult but overall i'm very pleased.

I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator, microwave, range. and dishwasher for my last home and very pleased with the performance, features and and quality of the appliances. I recently relocated and purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher, range and microwave. This microwave has been a disappointment because the fan does not draw the steam or smoke from the front burners of the range. It vents to the outside thru the roof and I had an authorized Whirlpool repairman come out to be sure it was properly installed. He said it was installed correctly and the fan was working. If I cook pasta I have to make sure I use a rear burner. I wish I had my old microwave!!!!

Never worked correctly
By Dan
from Andover nj
From the day it was installed the microwave would heat for one minute and thirty seconds, after that it would continue to count but no longer heat. Forget about reheating something large or even boiling a cup of water. I am trying to find the receipt so I can return it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Warranty problems
By Flash
from Graham, WA
This was a replacement for the same microwave I had before. The first one could not be fixed under warranty because it would cost too much for parts & labor under my warranty with Whirlpool, so I had to pay $300.00 to Whirlpool to have it replaced in February 2016. So I ended up paying more than the microwave was worth plus labor to have this new one delivered and installed. I do not think that was a very good deal for us.
Love it!

Great Features

This microwave has a great feature that when the fan is needed to turn on it is done automatically. Wow - were we surprised by that when using it!
