Utility Shut-Offs
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
A landlord may not interrupt a tenant's utility services, including electricity, water, wastewater, or gas services, unless for bona fide repairs, construction or an emergency. This is true whether utility services are paid by you directly to the utility company or if they are furnished by the landlord through your tenancy. This is also true whether or not you owe the landlord rent.
If a landlord interrupts your utility services in violation of law, you should request an order to have them restored, called a "writ of restoration", from the Justice of the Peace court in the precinct where the residence is located. If the judge approves your request, the court will issue the "writ of restoration," which orders the landlord to immediately restore your utilities. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee for this request, you may file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay, sometimes called a Pauper's Oath, with information about your income, your property, monthly expenses, dependents, and debts.
When the landlord on whom the writ of restoration of utility service was served fails to immediately comply with the writ, or later disobeys it, that failure is grounds for contempt of court. If the Justice of the Peace court finds, after considering the evidence at a hearing, that the landlord has directly or indirectly disobeyed the writ, the court may put that person in jail without bail until they comply with the writ.
If a landlord illegally interrupts utilities, the tenant may either recover possession of the premise or terminate the lease. Also, the tenant can sue the landlord for actual damages, one month's rent or $500 (whichever is greater), reasonable attorneys fees, and court costs, less any delinquent rents or other sums for which the tenant is liable to the landlord.

12 Lemonade Hacks to Help You Win Summer
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!

Durable power of attorney for health care; Health care proxy
A health care agent is someone you choose to make health care decisions for you when you cannot.
A health care agent is also called a health care proxy. This person will act only when you are not able to.
When you are unable to speak for yourself due to an illness, your health care providers may be unclear as to what type of care you would like.
Your family members may be uncertain or disagree about the type of medical care you should receive. Decisions about your medical care may then be made by doctors, hospital administrators, a court-appointed guardian, or judges.
A health care agent chosen by you can help your health care providers, family, and friends make decisions during a stressful time.
Your agent's duty is to see that your wishes are followed. If your wishes aren't known, your agent should try to decide what you want.
Health care agents are not required, but they are the best way to be sure your wishes for health care treatment are followed.
If you have an advance directive or living will, your health care agent can make sure your wishes are followed. Your agent's choices come before anyone else's wishes for you.
If you do not have a living will or an advanced directive, your health care agent will be the one to help your health care providers make important choices.
Your health care agenthas no control over your money.Your agent also can't be made to pay your bills.
What an agent can and can't do differs by state. Check your state laws.In most states your agent can:
Before you choose a health care agent, you should find out whether your state allows a health care agent to do the following:
Choose a person who knows your treatment wishes and is willing to carry them out. Be sure to tell your agent what's important to you.
Talk to each person you are thinking of naming as your agent or alternate. Do this before you decide who should carry out your wishes.Your agent should be:
In many states, your agent can't be:
Think about your beliefs about life-sustaining treatment. Life-sustaining treatment is the use of equipment to prolong your life when your body organs stop working well.
A health care proxy is a simple legal paper that you fill out. You can get a form online, at your doctor's office, hospital, or senior citizen centers.
A health care proxy is not a living will. A living will is a written statement that can include your health care wishes. Unlike a living will, the health care proxy allows you to name a health care agent to carry out those wishes if you cannot.
It is important to know that you can change your mind about health care choices at any time. If you change your mind, or if your health changes, talk to your doctor. Be sure to tell your health care agent about any changes in your wishes.

Cleanup crews see high volume of flooding-related calls
AMMON, Idaho - The cold has finally relinquished its grip on eastern Idaho--at least for now. But this week's warmer temperatures are bringing flooding problems.
One to 2 inches of water rushed into the basement of one home in Ammon.
"There was a lot of issues concerning the carpet, the drywall, the pad, baseboard," said Jared Lusk with Servpro, a company that specializes in cleaning up water damage.
Lusk said calls were flooding into Servpro's Sugar City office last night.
"We do a 24/7 process and so our crews even last night were out till about 1 o'clock," said Lusk.
Servpro crews spent Friday visiting flooded homes. In most cases the damage was confined to basements.
Lusk said this occurs when ice gathers along a home's foundation. When it melts, it can seep through any unguarded crevices and into the home.
In many cases, Servpro says they can remove the water—but at a hefty price.
"Anywhere between $3,000, it can be all the way up to $45,000 depending on the size of the home and the extent of the damage," said Lusk.
Local News 8 called several other cleanup companies. They all say they're experiencing an unusually high number of flooding-related calls this week.

Anyone seeing unusual fall dwindling in the bees? Several local operations are seeing this and are looking for a cause. What is seen is the gradual decline of populations in the beeyards with scattered dead bees around the hives and some bees dying with poisoning-like symptoms (tongues out and partial paralysis). This seems to affect large numbers of hives simultaneously with varying degrees of depopulation ranging from maybe a 20% thinning of bees to collapse down to a couple frames. It is occurring in 1000+ colonies in 30+ yards spread across 2 counties. This began to be evident in mid-September but is now clearly widespread. Here are some facts:
The bees- The bees have been on local forage, not on monoculture crops, and have not had known ag chemical exposure since spring. Behavior is normal though flight is reduced. Brood is not abundant, probably 3 frames with a 5 inch circle in hives still having 8 frames of bees. Ample frames of pollen are present in collapsing hives.
The weather- Weather is presently in the 70's with dry conditions but a good rain 3 weeks ago. There have been no heavy frosts. A two month dearth preceded the rains but bees were fed as needed.
Forage- There is limited but present starthistle, mustard bloom, etc. which is typical for the area. No strong nectar flow.
The mites- Absent with powdered sugar roles of 0-1 in 300 bee samples.
Mite treatments- Amitraz applied in the first week of September.
Feeding regimen- Sugar syrup and 1-2lb. subs every 10-14 days.
With the scope of involved hives, I suspect this is an event coming from from within the hive, possibly combined with weather conditions (fly weather, cooler nights). Possible culprits:
Disease- Some of hives exhibit IBD (snotbrood) symptoms with yellowing larvae and spotty pattern, DFW bees are very rarely seen. There is no chalkbrood. Nosema counts will be checked this week.
Poisoning- 3 miticide strengths applied in 3 different operations with the most notable symptoms in the operation using the lowest concentration.
Toxic feed- Subs are dry Beepro made following manufacturers direction with 5 gal. HFCS and 50# sugar per 50# dry mix. Canola and corn oil are added per Randy Oliver's published formula, and 2/3 cup ProHealth are added in each batch. This recipe has not been changed for several years and the only difference this year is Thymol in the new formulation of ProHealth and a new production batch of powdered Beepro. Is anyone seeing issues with these products this year?
Toxic syrup- Bees fed only Dryvert, in top feeders, for their sugar source seem to be faring better but are not great. Syrup is 1.2:1 to 1.8:1 sugar mix or thinned HFCS depending on the operation. Sugar is C&H granulated cane sugar. Syrup is not fermented and has no additives.
If anyone has seen similar findings, your input would be appreciated.

TREKTOP NX for 1997-2017 Jeep Wrangler
We've covered all the angles. Bestop's innovative fastback styling has made Trektop NX the best selling soft top on the market today. Trektop NX is truly a complete soft top but doesn't need all the frame hardware and bows of traditional soft top designs. It takes advantage of the Wrangler's sport bars to give it shape and support for an easier installation. And there's an added bonus to the Trektop NX - just zip out the windows and it transforms into a Safari Bikini Top.

Given that I contracted the lurgy AFTER I got back to the UK suggests (he said, defensively) that I was as much a victim as you, rather than the perpetrator, as I didn't have it to pass on while I was with you in Athens.
The train certainly wasn't the cause, as cold conditions won't cause the lurgy, only worsen it, as it's probably a virus of some kind. In fact, cold conditions are likely to even help kill it off - it's warm conditions that will help it to survive and spread.
Those small details aside, I hope you get over it quickly now, as it ain't nice.
Loading Map
My cabin was suitably freezing, as the heating seemed not to be working, and even though I was wrapped up the cold temperatures (for 4 odd hours it probably didn't peak -5. Not so bad when you're walking around but when you're sat in a cabin for 4 hours it's horrible.)
Was quite nervous when I got to the border because of my experiences entering Bulgaria, but actually the border crossing was the least problematic bit of the trip
Not long after this, however, before we left the border area, things began to get interested, as a young Serbian man came and sat in the carriage. Something about him seemed shady and he immediately started talking to me at an unbelievable pace when he identified I was English. He was friendly, but also at times could be quite sinister in his friendliness, and within minutes he had asked me if I would add him on Facebook, if he could listen to my iPod, if I had a camera/laptop (I said no, in case that made him curious about further investigating my possessions.)
He also asked me if I wanted to come stay with him and his mother in his town (which was apparently 100km from where I was actually going) and when I said I had paid for my accommodation he indicated he would reimburse me, so I had to say I was meeting friends! My favourite quote of his was "I am a Nazi because I respect Adolf Hitler!"
The whole thing was very scary and the train couldn't arrive in Nis fast enough. He insisted he get a taxi with me to the hospital (which my hostel was near) so I was ok, and to be fair, when we both got out of the taxi there he said goodbye and disappeared. I don't think he was every out to rob me, but I have heard so many stories of locals befriending travellers on trains just to rob them later. He was probably just being friendly after all, but he had an odd way of doing it!
Anyway, I went straight to my hostel (after a bit of epic confusion, there being two hostels with 'Garden' in the name right next to the hospital!) and basically crashed out for the night, as my hostel was some way from anything worth seeing. The hostel I stayed at was excellent, and the guy was probably the friendliest hostel owner I have met. He was also the team doctor for an Olympics winning Yugoslav handball team!
The next morning I intended to go to see the fortress in the centre of town and also the skull tower, a formidable structure partly constructed using the skulls of vanquished Serbian rebels, built by the Turks in the 19th century. Unfortunately, it appears I came down with a case of epic lurgy over night, possible culprits being the freezing train ride and dad, who suffered a similar ailment just after arriving back in the UK.
Anyway, in the end all I got to see was the fortress, which is a shame, because the skull tower sounded horrifically awesome. Got some great pictures in the fortress which I will upload when I am on the same floor of a building as my card reader! Other than this, I mostly just ate Serbian fast food. Serbian burgers are AWESOME. They're roughly twice the size of kebab shop burgers in the UK and just as tasty, but super cheap! I paid something like €1.70 for one with a bottle of coke! Note to self, however, other people's sausages are not like British sausages!
The train ride to Belgrade was mercifully warm and event free, and the scenery between Nis and Belgrade is beautiful. Serbia really has a stunning landscape and the 4 hour ride went by pretty quickly in the end, even if all I did was stare out of the window and consult my guidebook!

I printed off a number of images from The Graphics Fairy and added them to some black garage sale and Ikea frames. Here's my version laid out on the floor:
The boots one is from a book I got at a library book sale. I'm still on the lookout for an old purse image to finish up the collection and maybe add some smaller frames from the dollar store.
Once my husband adds hooks to the backs, I'll be able to arrange them on the wall.

June 2010 Safe WheelingPosted in How To: Electrical on June 1, 2010 Comment (0)
In the last 20 years, pickup trucks have come a long way in terms of comfort, reliability, and safety. Innovations such as antilock brakes, vehicle stability control, and in more recent years, integrated trailer brake controllers and even factory exhaust brakes on diesel models have resulted in a much safer on-highway experience for end-users-especially for those of us who tow often. But one very important part of the towing equation has remained virtually unchanged for more than 20 years. We are talking about the electrical connection between the trailer and the tow rig.
Most connections supplied with new vehicles and trailers today feature a grouping of four to seven electrical circuits arranged in a connector plug that is manufactured with thin cheap plastic and offers little or no margin for safety. When you stop and think about it, your safety as a driver and the safety of those around you on the road, let alone the safety of the load you are transporting, is 100 percent dependent on the reliability of a $20 plastic plug.
If the plug fails and the connection is lost, you lose braking as well as the ability to communicate to other drivers about what you intend to do. This scenario can easily result in a collision, or worse. We have no idea why cheap plastic interfaces have become the accepted standard, but we feel compelled to change it. As such, we did a little investigative work and found a solution that we think could change the way we think of trailer connections.

Sexual maneuver in which you go home, jack off in a container and save it. The next morning warm it up, pour it on your dick and jack off with it. Then save all of that cum in a container. The next morning shit in a rag, pour the cum on it, and roll it around your dick and masturbate. It will trick your mind into thinking you are having anal and will make you cum harder and longer.

2. I completely agree with this, and critizing a performance is in no way bashing.
3. I never stated that. Of course you should be allowed to like/dislike a skater, but you shouldn't attack them as soon as the opportunity comes along.
4. Can't say I've seen it/noticed it. The place where I have seen it is Mao vs Yuna, and I really hope people would not bring that level of imaturity here.
5. Well, of course they will. Speaks for itself. But there is a difference between critizing a performance based on your emotions or with technical knowledge of why that result came into place.
And btw, the judges are NOT ranking the skaters. The techinal panel decides the difficulty of each element seperatly, and so do the judges with their GOE. They mark the quality of each individual element. If you look at the protocol from this event, you can see that Chan was punished for the mistake he did by the maximum amount of deduction. That does not mean he is supposed to get punished on the rest, which he did well.

Miss Alabama's Katherine Webb Was Star Of BCS Game — PICS
During the highly anticipated college football national championship game between Notre Dame and University of Alabama on Jan. 7, the focus wasn't on Alabama's hot quarter back AJ McCarron, it was on his beauty queen girlfriend! Read on to find out who she is!
Alabama was the talk of the town on Jan. 7 when they beat Notre Dame 42-14 in the 2013 Bowl Championship Series in Miami, Fl., but it wasn't just about football. The Twitter world exploded when cameras panned over to University of Alabama's quarterback AJ McCarron's gorgeous girlfriend, Katherine Webb. It turns out she's not just another pretty face, she's currently Miss Alabama.
How The Buzz On Katherine Webb Started During The BCS Game
ESPN announcer Brent Musburger, 73, got the world interested in Katherine when he said during the game: "You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman."
The camera continued to pan over to her and showed her cheering on AJ, even though the game appeared to be an easy win for the college team.
Katherine Becomes An Internet Sensation
Fans began to tweet things about Katherine like: "By far the best part of the #BCS game and my MVP is KatherineWebb! WOW! Roll Tide indeed! AJ is #blessed!"
Katherine went from about two thousand Twitter followers to over 100K! She took to Twitter to thank everyone for supporting her man: "So extremely blessed. Congrats to Alabama and making history! #BCSChamps."
Who Is Katherine Webb?
Katherine was born in Montgomery, Al., and she graduated from Auburn University in 2011 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Management and Administration.
Her bio on her website states that she works at Chick-fil-A in Columbus, GA., but we're assuming now that she's the reigning Miss Alabama, she's put that job on hold.
Katherine was crowned Miss Alabama in 2012.

Welcome to the Genome Database for Vaccinium
Vaccinum is an ancient genus of the family Ericaceae. Member species include blueberry (V. corymbosum, angustifolium and virgatum), cranberry (V. macrocarpon) and lignonberry (V. vitis-idaea). The Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV) is being developed to house and integrate genomic, genetic and breeding data for blueberry, cranberry and other Vaccinium species. The GDV will include the blueberry genome being sequenced by North Carolina State University, and annotated transcripts, traits, maps and markers being generated by Vaccinium researchers. The GDV is implemented using Chado and Drupal (Tripal) and will include public and private sites to meet individual research group needs.

When a restaurant opens in Wisconsin and two of the partners in it are named Ryan Braun and Aaron Rodgers, you might be tempted to think that any generic menu would be enough to lure in customers. Although that might be true for a while, Surg Restaurant Group is not banking on superstar appeal alone in its new 8-Twelve MVP Bar & Grill in Brookfield.
A couple of years ago, Braun of the Brewers and Rodgers of the Packers expressed interest in partnering in a business. Braun has had local success with his Ryan Braun's Graffito in the Third Ward (another Surg restaurant) and the two MVPs decided that they would join forces in a new restaurant. Thus became the genesis for 8-Twelve.
Opened on July 5 in the former Charro location on Bluemound Road, 8-Twelve takes quality dining seriously.
"We are not a sports bar," states General Manager Eric Kaye. "We do have a bar and we do have a happy hour. We do have a little bit of memorabilia from 'the guys.' We do have TVs. But what we are really doing is really great cuisine."
That cuisine is defined as a "farm-to-table concept" that is done in conjunction with Hidden Creek Farm in New London. 8-Twelve aims to source food locally as much as possible.
"We're doing everything in house," explains Kaye. "Our menu focuses on comfort food cooked country style."
Already, that "home cooking" has resonated with customers. Some early favorites include the Rodgers Prime Cuts Steaks ($19 to $49), Buttermilk Fried Amish Chicken ($17), Cedar Planked Scottish Shetland Salmon ($25) and the Brauny Burger ($11). I will add that the Chocola8 dessert ($6.50) will impress any chocolate fanatic.
The atmosphere at 8-Twelve is casual, although patrons can be seen dressed up before a night out on the town or dressed down in jeans prior to a ball game. Either way, they will find a unique dining experience as memorable as the MVPs whose numbers are on the door.

Hi, i am looking for a board to complete my quiver, i am intermediate surfer, 5'10 tall, 167 lbs, and actually have a DOM 5'10 and a stealth 5'10, i live in the north os spain and i use the dom during the summer and the stealth for everydays, now i want a third board for good conditions, 3-5 foot range. First option i like is MB 6,2 thin, the second a Mini driver 6,0, pro and con of the models? what kind of waves do you think are these boards for? Finally, i have seen the Firewire LSD, when is going to be able to order? sorry about my english... thank you!
No announcement yet.
Minidriver or Michel Bourez?
new posts
My take would be the Mini Driver is going to like more down the line surfing through tubes and more wrapping carving turns. The Michel Bourez model is going to surf a little more progressively, releasing the tail easier.
I haven't surfed the Mini Driver much but those were my first impressions.
I'd consider the 600 thinner Michel model, I think the 602 will feel a little big.
Hi - Im also considering making a purchase between one of these.
Thinking of a 6'2 mini driver at circa 33-34 litres or the 6'2 MB at circa 32 litres. I need something for the winter with the waves getting a little better and my paddle power getting better. If you see my other boards they are around 37 litres and were bought around the t8ime i was 4-5 kg heavier and just moving down from a long board.. im now around 80kg (34 and 5'10).
Have been surfing for about 3 years but in the last 6 months ive been going 4-6 times a week.
Any suggestion on which would be better? what waves each suits?
Wish i had purchased the Activator at 6'1..... its a great board..

Method to madness
Poile is a professional. He's considered one of the best general mangers in the NHL because he always seems to pull the right strings and get the best out of his players. These days, Poile is receiving more criticism than he ever has before.
Fans on Twitter and Facebook are ripping into Poile at every move he makes. The trade of Matthew Lombardi and Cody Franson to Toronto for Brett Lebda and Robert Slaney has been blasted by Prednation. On paper, that is a really dumb trade if it was just a straight up trade. However, you've got to remember that there is a much better reason to make that trade. By dumping Lombardi's salary, and getting rid of Franson, money has been cleared up for Shea Weber and potentially a high-scoring forward.
There's always a reason for everything that Poile does. Does that mean that he's perfect? No. Does that mean none of his decisions should ever be questioned, and Preds' fans should blindly follow his lead? Of course not. But, there's no reason to think that he's just blowing up the team.
Next year's roster is going to look different than last year's roster. We knew that going into the off-season. Change isn't always bad. Yes, the Preds made it farther in the playoffs than they ever had before. However, there's only one stat that matters in the NHL: Stanley Cups. Last time I checked, the Preds don't have any.
While the 2010-11 version of the Nashville Predators was certainly a good team, it was not a Stanley Cup caliber team. The Preds simply didn't have enough offense to win. I think Nashville fans will find that during the next few months, the Predators are going to start looking better and better when Poile makes his move. There's no question in my mind that a move to acquire offense is coming. The money is there. The need is there.
The point of all of this? Don't hit the panic button every time David Poile makes a move. There is always a method to his madness.
4 comments:
Your correct, for some reason everyone thinks that because something is done that they wouldn't do Poile needs to be fired. He hasn't screwed up the team yet, so everyone needs to calm down and see what happens.ReplyDelete

There is always and I mean always a method to his madness as some would say. He's done big things with little money and a very young team. He and Barry are the best.ReplyDelete

The new Focus Grip helps minimize hand torque in the event of poor hand placement by keeping pressure concentrated in the center of the grip, unlike typical flat top grips that move pressure to the outside edge which increases hand torque.
The diagram shows the result of improper hand placement and how it impacts bow torque. As you can clearly see, the Focus Grip with the patent pending "Focus Ridge" barely moves off of center!

Compare between theory x , theory y and theory z assumptions of human relation movement?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The concept of theory X and theory Y was first proposed by Douglas McGregor in his book Human Side of Enterprise as a alternative sets assumptions about behavior and nature of people at work. McGregor stated that way many managers deal with their subordinates suggests a set of underlying assumptions. He labeled these assumptions, which he believed to be incorrect assumptions as "Theory X'. IN place of these assumptions he proposes an alternate correct set of assumptions which he called 'Theory Y'.
Using the terminology of McGregor, William Ouchi suggested another set of assumptions called 'Theory Z' which he believed to be more appropriate for applying Japanese style of management.
The assumptions of these theories are described below.
Theory X
- Humans inherently dislike working and try to avoid work.
- Because people dislike work, they have to be made to work by putting pressure and controlling their activities closely.
- Average people prefers to be directed by others.
- Average people avoid taking responsibility.
- Average people are unambitious and prefer security at work
Theory Y
- Work is an activity as natural to people as play and rest.
- When suitably motivated people are self directed to achieve organizational objectives.
- Commitment of employees can be obtained by ensuring job satisfaction for them
- People learn to accept responsibility and under suitable conditions actively seek responsibility.
- People are imaginative and creative.
Theory Z
- Employees want to build cooperative relationships with their employees, superiors, colleagues and juniors
- People require support in form job security and facilities for developing multiple skills essential for improving performance.
- People value their family life, culture,traditions and institutions as much as they value their material gains.
- People have well developed sense of dedication, moral obligation and self discipline.
- They can make good collective decisions through consensus.

Atascadero is an inland city in San Luis Obispo County, about 200 miles from both Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Digs
The Carlton Hotel was built in 1929 as part of Atascadero's original planned community and has since become a local landmark. After an extensive restoration, the historic property reopened in 2005 with rich appointments and details, from handcrafted ironwork on the central staircase to crown moldings in the library.

By the time the men were done they asked me to quit explaining some of the new rules because they did not understand my explanations and said they missed the judges' scores being shown after each skater.
They thought Laura was very cute and lively and liked her alot. They did not care as much for Alissa but said they liked her dress better than Laura's. Could have been than "panty thing" Spun just mentioned.
They thought Mirai was the best and thought Joannie made so many mistakes they couldn't believe she was the winner.
My guests are around my age and they remember Scott very well and enjoyed his commentary. (I did not make that up )
From their comments and general reaction I don't get the feeling skating is on the right path. Not as far as having much appeal to casual fans from the USA.
They said they will watch some skating on the Olympics but said it is not the same since Michelle has retired.
There's no longer that tension, that nervous anticipation for me while watching the skaters skate. I do miss that feeling...it was at its height at Nats and Worlds 03, 04...things started to slip in '05 (I blame the NJS) but after '06 it's simply going through the motions ...

Here is where I think the point-total judging system has produced disapointing results.
In the olden days, it might go like this. Skater A gets a string of 5.7s and 5.8s and wins, while skater B gets 5.4s and 5.5s and loses. Why? Because skater A did a triple Lutz, whereas skater B only did a triple Salchow -- an easier jump. Plus, skater B had a two-footed landing, while skater A's spins were more intricate and she skated better to the music.
Now we say: Skater A got 110 points and won, while skater B got 96 points and lost.
Why? Because skater A did a triple Lutz (6.0 points), whereas skater B only did a triple Salchow (4.5 points). Plus, skater B had a two-footed landing (minus 1 GOE), while skater A's spins were more intricate (level 3) and she skated better to the music (7.25 in Interpretation.)
OK. so I just wrote the same paragraph twice. Do the numbers inserted in bold really have any meaning or purpose?

Tara Lipinski was regularly marked down in the 1997-98 season , even though she was world champion, for wrong edge take-offs on her Lutzes. The 6.0 commentators were not shy about pointing out cheated landings.
Many times a skater with a fall was placed over a skater who seemed to deliver a clean program. So this possibiltiy is not something that the CoP can stake sole claim to. Not at all.

I do love that logical leap.
I still watch skating the way you describe it in the first paragraph. It is not some form of rebellion but just a habit developed over the years.
I don't think of levels when I watch steps - I think of the blade work and control, beauty of the motion and if musicality is being expressed.
I look at jumps differently and if I can't see an edge problem I feel resentment at the tech callers when they downgrade a skater I like.
Rotations completed in the air are totally without value to me if the skater falls or has a very shaky landing - two footed or a hand on the ice.I downgrade that skater for what I consider to be a failed jump.
Now it feels like the judges are saying, "well atleast they tried, let's give them some points."
That is not much different than saying "look at my pretty dress. My family spent alot of money on it so please be sure to boost my presentation marks for trying so hard to be pretty for you." There is effort that should be rewarded and then again .............there is nonsense,
I don't get too carried away with comparing numbers from different events and see that as another hallucinatory bi-product of CoP scoring and logic.
In your second paragraph the numbers you show seem to have an impact and deeper meaning to newer fans than I feel. The pcs scores feel not only redundant but give the top skaters a clear and sometimes unfair advantage.
I find myself feeling gyped watching a competition and not understanding why certain numbers/point totals don't seem to reflect what I just saw on the ice.
To be honest 6.0 used to disappoint me at times too and the ordinals could be tricky and very treacherous at times.
But in the past when the event was over I knew who won and why. And if it felt unfair I could see how the different federations marked each skater and where they placed them with the ordinals.
Today I need to wait until I can find a YouTube clip and go back and search for edge calls and urs that are not always so easy to spot on internet clips.
I find myself looking at columns of numbers and then think "what does this have to do with figure skating."

I find that many people here are blaming CoP for the downhill popularity of FS in the US. I don't agree with them. If FS is less popular than before, it's because you don't have a star skater in ladies field currently who will be able to present your country a gold medal, a national pride, like Michelle, Sasha were. Wasn't ladies part traditionally the most popular field (and we can easily see that by comparing the number of posts here between ladies and mens, etc.)? The absence of a strong potential podium candidates after Sasha is definitley the reason. The transition from 6.0 to CoP simply happened to coincide with that from Sasha to the generation after her. Simple as that. If America brings up another Michell, another Sasha, the popularity will recover. So don't worry.
Just look at the situation in Japan and Korea. FS wasn't ever more popular than now. The reason? Because they have strong star power: Mao and Yuna. And the rivalry (which has been partly made up by media) between them made FS even more exciting in these countries than ever, coupled with the historical backgrounds between the two countries! Therfore, if these countries too do not continue to have podium skaters, I think the popularity (in terms of casual fans) will cool down.
Ah, Mathman, I'm sorry to see that you erased your original post, even if it was meant to be flippant, or not. ***edited to add: lol, it wasn't, good for you. But don't feel ashamed about taking it back & redoing your post, we can't all be perfect. :D ***
You said something about how the public was excited to see Sarah Hughes do two 3/3 combos., but then COP exposed her underrotations, flutzes, was a hot mess, crap. eh?
Lol, if we were to go all the way back in history we might as well take away 99% of the gold medals awarded, even Dick Button's. He has said numerous times in the past that his jumps were underrotated (which you can see on old movies), even the ones at the Olympics. Not to forget to mention another fav of mine (Sonja Henie) had underrotated jumps. And I'm sure others as well. Let's get out the super slo-mo & deduce it piece by piece by piece for ALL the gold medal winners in ALL the disciplines throughout history.
That said, I'm with Dick Button, whom said as long as it's not visible to the naked eye, what does it matter?
But, no, here come the *#@!(*) Canadians that started this mess in the first place because S&P didn't win gold.
There was nothing wrong with the 6.0 system, never was, rather it has ALWAYS been about the judges cheating, and that continues on to this day but with another system that's supposedly better. Lol, it wasn't about the system to begin with, it was about the judges. Good way to convolute the whole issue though by changing the system, not the judges.
Final note, I won't be surprised to see a skater fall several times (like Sasha Cohen did at the 2006 Olympics) & win gold against another skater that skated without falls. Arakawa was lucky back then, the system has advanced to the point that if somebody like Sasha falls multiples times she will still win due to her lead from the SP. Watch, wait & see..

Yeah, Mathman, I was responding to it.
You know, janetfan, your passion for figure skating, both presently and from a more historical standpoint (your namesake, as an example) is exemplary. You clearly want to like figure skating today (unlike other rosy-eyeds), and I almost wish I disliked COP as much as you do simply so we'd be on the same side. I don't know why I see beauty where so many others see simply math. I don't know why people cry about lack of risk taking when a skater like Kevin Reynolds will attempt a 3-3-2 at the end of his program, or Joannie Rochette will jam her program with technical content in the form of transitions. I don't know how programs as wonderfully light and comic and Takahashi to La Strada or Oda's Chaplin routine aren't creative. I don't understand how people can decry a system that produces the beauty of Virtue and Moir. I don't.
2. It's good to know that you're pissed off with the Canadians for not winning gold as opposed to the actual cheating that was going on. It takes a wonderfully difficult position (level four, GOE = 3) to achieve that. Bravo!!!!!

Re: A coop Survival
I'm with you on that one man, majority of games today dont feature enough co-op. i would personnaly love to see local multiplayer implimented on the game be it co-op or vs, wouldnt matter to me. but thats the biggest issue i've seen as of yet, (aside from the 10 min intermissions) is that me and my buddies are all handing over the controller after each death. and its fun, but i dont get enough time to master it on my own

Pentax smc D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR
Further readings for the Pentax smc D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Samyang 85mm F1.4 AS IF UMC is a high-speed manual focus lens available in a wide range of mounts, including Sony A and E, Fujifilm X, Micro Four-Thirds, and Pentax K, as well as the expected Canon EF and Nikon F options. Offering a wide f/1.4 maximum aperture, and as a 130mm equivalent on an APS-C format camera (such as the current Pentax DSLRs), the Samyang 85mm is an ideal lens for low-light indoor sport and outdoor photos.
If you've outgrown the standard kit lens for your new entry-level DSLR, a second lens can add a new dimension to your photography. With a plethora of options available, picking out the right one can be a bit of a minefield, but our best lenses review is here to help. We round up here the big talking points on the 39 lenses that our technicians have tested on the Pentax K-S1.
Although the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs have now been replaced by the Pentax K-3, we've analyzed the two models with a range of lenses from both Pentax and third-party makers and thought the results would be of interest to our readers. The information is available online but we taken the opportunity to offer a brief overview of the best performing models. Read on to see how well the lenses perform together on the two cameras.
We have the latest test results for these prime Pentax lenses. With these additions we can now compare the results for 10 Pentax lenses ranging from the kit-featured Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II and super zoom Pentax SMC Pentax-DA 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 ED AL [IF] to the more expensive Pentax SMC DA 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL (IF) SDM.

Sharpness chart data is wrong
You have listed this lens as having a "sharpness" rating of 10 Mpix on the primary tab. However, a quick analysis of this chart reveals that the darkest green is no more than an 8.5 on the scale you provide. Further, this lens' sharpness data differs dramatically from other Pentax Limited lenses on the K-3 body, leading me to assume that this particular chart itself is in error.
Please correct this mistake, for it casts a shadow on the overall accuracy of your data.

true but
Based on what ive read lenses with stabilization built in tend to be more effective though. I took a photo with my friends canon 7d 70-200mm F2.8 II lens in a dim lit office and was shocked that a photo came out sharp hand held at 1/6 sec shutter speed.

Pentax D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR/Cannon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS Usm
Just had to comment on this comparison. I have the Pentax . I read many reviews about the lens, many commenting about how expensive it is. However, in comparing this lens to the Cannon, one fact seems clear: it compares quite favourably. But two factors clearly favor the Pentax: firstly, the pentax barrel is constructed of high quality aluminium, while the Cannon is plastic. Good plastic, but plastic. Secondly, the Pentax can be purchased for around $650.00; the Cannon cost nearly $1000.00. Much of the difference in price can be explained by the fact that the Cannon has the USM nearly silent focus motor, while the Pentax is screw drive. Furthermore, the Cannon lens has image stabilization built in, while the Pentax IS is built into the camera, essentially making IS available for every lens attached to the Pentax body. But the bottom line is that the performance of both lenses is quite similar, but the Pentax cost about $350.00 less. Just an observation.

Town Square
Oregon Expressway improvements being completed by the County of Santa Clara
Original post made by Stan Hutchings, Old Palo Alto, on Jul 18, 2013
Stoplights on Oregon should be synchronized to allow free flow of traffic from Foothill Expressway past El Camino Real all the way to US101. It is really annoying to have traffic backed up due to lights that impede rather than encourage the smooth flow of traffic. It is especially irking for 20 to 30 cars or more to be stopped so one car can turn left onto Oregon.
Oregon is named an Expressway. If the lights are not synchronized, this is a misnomer and should be changed, perhaps to Oregon Stop, Wait and Go Way.
An additional light at Ross will not help the problem, unless all the lights are synchronized. Meanwhile, I'll continue to take N. California to Embarcadero and get on 101 from there. It's faster and smoother, with just one light.
Yes, I realize Oregon is a County road, but PLEASE work together to make traffic smooth. This is a Palo Alto issue that should be solved.

SCCO is responsible from E Bayshore to Bryant.
Caltrans controls the El Camino Intersection.
Palo Alto manages Page Mill Road.
3 agencies. Good luck with that.

Well, not quite. Acc. to what I've been told:.......
Santa Clara County controls two street lights at the El Camino/Page Mill intersection - but only the two with stoplights underneath. These two are chronically burned out and are now and have been for some time. Caltrans supposedly controls El Camino which is state highway 84. Many lights out. Then Palo Alto controls the Oregon Expressway from 101 to El Camino, and right now there are numerous lights out. Also Palo Alto controls Page Mill from El Camino to the 280 junction.
From what I've learned, Palo alto is also responsible for cutting down the weeds from Foothill to 280. ....which rarely happens. So it's an administrative mess. The exits and entrances from 101 to inbound PA streets are terrible. SanAntonio is filthy. So is Oregon. Caltrans cut down some weeds at Embarcadero but left some trash piled up - weeks ago.Who is 'minding the store'?

I've said a few times this past wk or 2 when people around here were so sure that Warmack would not make it to us that we just seen as higly touted G that was supposed to go in the top 15 drop to 24 with Decastro, so its not outta the realm of possiblities, and now there this report, albeit from Walterfootballs site, which some of u don't like and respect as much as i do, but his info, is per ADAM SCHEFTER... Either way, heres what he has to say, as Warmack was on his stock down this wk...
Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
It shows how unsettled the 2013 draft class is when a player who some have touted as best football player available has his stock falling two weeks prior to the draft for no off-the-field reason. That is the case with Warmack as ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Warmack could fall to the 18th pick or lower. There are many teams that reportedly prefer North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper because of his rare athleticism and ability to play center.
Given where guards typically go in the draft, it isn't out of the realm of possibility for Warmack to go in the back half of the first round. Last year many thought Stanford guard David DeCastro would be selected in the top 16 but he fell into the 20s.
Warmack (6-2, 315) is a great run-blocker and pass-protector, but he isn't considered to have the flexibility to play center or tackle. Warmack could be in store for a draft day slide, but it is hard to see him escaping the top 20 because of three teams that need guards - Dallas, New York and Chicago - selecting 18-20.

Reviews of this property
This is the second time I've stayed with Judith and Donald. On both occasions, Judith and Donald were extremely attentive, helpful and informative. Their home is lovely and spotlessly clean. Also, breakfast every morning was a delight.
Staying here was so much better than staying in a hotel. In particular, I'd recommend Judith and Donald's BnB to anyone who wants to learn about Singapore's sights and culture. 10 out of 10 from me!
We had a wonderful time in Singapore, and a lot of it was because Judith and Donald made us welcome and were so helpful. Our room in their home was very comfortable and more than adequate for out 3 night's stay. Judith organised her legendary breakfasts, and Donald was a mine of information, regarding transport around Singapore. He went the extra mile with small change and refunding our travel cards for us, and organised the taxi for our early departure. We did appreciate this very much. Although their home is not in the central city, transport is very handy to buses and the MRT and there is a wonderful food court within walking distance. We will definitely stay with Judith and Donald again if we are in Singapore. Sharyn and Bruce : New Zealand
The best location, in a very nice villa. Good connection to the city.
Very near the house all services are available. Shops, restaurants, busstop.
Perfect room, comfort, good bathroom.
Everyday a different and very good breakfast.
Go there!!
It was the first time, that we book a homestay at Wimdu and what a luck.....we met Judith & Donald ! Wonderful and helpful hosts, an amazing house and breakfast....whenever we will come back to Singapore, we would be pleased to stay there again
Karen & Holger
Judith and Donald's place was exactly as described. Our room was big, clean and bright-- just the way we wanted. Breakfast wa great and both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal every day. Judith and Donald were excellent hosts and did everything to make us feel comfortable. Slight drawback was the place was a bit far from town but not a problem as transportation is someasyand cheap in Singapore. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to all. Best value in Singapore
Had a very pleasant stay at Judith and Donalds lovely home, our hosts were very kind and attentive and provided excellent breakfasts, we will be returning next time we are in Singapore
A wonderful place and great hosts. Judith spoiled us with daily varying breakfast preparations. Thanks to the valuable advice of Donald Singapore we could well off the beaten track to explore. Absolutely top notch!
In points: 10
Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft und großartige Gastgeber. Judith verwöhnte uns mit täglich variierenden Frühstückszubereitungen. Dank der wertvollen Tipps von Donald konnten wir Singapur auch abseits der touristischen Pfade erkunden. Absolut spitzenmäßig!

Once again perfectly again. Many Thanks.
Auch diesmal wieder perfekt. Vielen Dank.
We have enjoyed our time (2 nights) at Judith and Donald very. We lacked nichts.Unser room and bathroom were large, friendly and clean. The bed was comfortable.
Thrilled us a rich and individual breakfast, which we in nice international atmosphere (which was funded by the hosts in a pleasant way) could take with other guests present at the large dining table.
In his both caring and professional manner to Donald took care of our needs, and given us so all assistance that we needed.
Wir haben unsere Zeit (2 Nächte) bei Judith und Donald sehr genossen. Es fehlte uns an nichts.Unser Zimmer und das Bad waren groß, freundlich und sauber. Das Bett war bequem.
Begeistert hat uns das reichhaltige und individuelle Frühstück, das wir am großen Esstisch in netter, internationaler Atmosphäre (die von den Gastgebern in angenehmer Weise gefördert wurde) mit anderen anwesenden Gästen einnehmen konnten.
In seiner sowohl fürsorglichen als auch professionellen Art hat sich Donald um unsere Belange gekümmert, und uns so alle Hilfestellungen gegeben, die wir brauchten.
It was as expected. Great. Very friendly hosts, clean accommodation and excellent breakfast. We look forward to the next time.
Es war so wie erwartet. Großartig. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, saubere Unterkunft und exzellentes Frühstück. Wir freuen uns bereits auf das nächste Mal.

Sampling Methods
Tropical forests are so diverse that studying the faunas and floras that comprise them is a fundamental challenge. Different methods are effective for different species. Accordingly, a diverse sampling regimen is needed to generate a reasonably complete picture of the functioning ecosystem. However, even this composite picture--a collage of methods--is generally incomplete.
Our sampling of faunas in the Manu Biosphere Reserve relied on the extensive field experience of team leaders, the energy of all team members, and an array of observational and sampling techniques that have proven useful in other studies of tropical faunas:
- traplines were established for rodents and marsupials. We placed snap traps and live traps in alternation along a 1 km transect, baiting them twice daily:
- Victor snap traps for rat-sized animals;
- Museum Special snap-traps for mouse-sized animals (similar to above but smaller; especially constructed so that the trap bar does not crush the skull);
- Sherman live traps for small mammals;
- Tomahawk traps for larger mammals;
- 12-meter mistnets placed in lines and in individual settings for birds and bats
- lines of 11 pitfall traps (16-liter buckets sunk into the ground) at 5-meter intervals along a 50-meter plastic drift fence
- two shotguns were used to hunt larger and trap-shy animals point counts of birds (visual and auditory surveys) were taken each morning
- tracks, scat, calls, or other evidence of a species being present were recorded.

Drug treatment programs for offenders on probation can help people stay out of jail if they avoid drugs, comply with supervision and pass regular tests to prove they are drug free. This practice saves the costs of incarceration and supports the offender's rehabilitation within the community
Research shows that court-monitored drug abuse treatment programs can help prevent offenders from committing new crimes. The success of the strategy, however, requires much effort on the part of everyone working in the criminal justice system (police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers and judges) to enforce the rules and respond to violations quickly and consistently
Swift and certain punishment for violations is an effective way to improve compliance with the terms of probation. NIJ funds evaluations of programs that use the principles of swift and certain punishment. NIJ also funds research and development of electronic technology to help law enforcement track offender behavior and respond quickly to violations.
