MI5 Director warns of 'thousands' of Islamists in the UK
The Director General of MI5, Andrew Parker, has warned about the risks of Islamists in the UK.
Addressing the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Mr Parker said:
Since 2000, we have seen serious attempts at major acts of terrorism in this
country typically once or twice a year. That feels to me, for the moment, unlikely to change.
While that tempo seems reasonably even, the ground we have to cover has increased as the threat has become more diversified.
The ability of Al Qaida to launch the centrally directed large scale attacks of the last decade has been degraded, though not removed. We have seen the threat shift more to increasing numbers of smaller-scale attacks and a growing proportion of groups and individuals taking it upon themselves to commit acts of terrorism. It remains the case that there are several thousand Islamist extremists here who see the British people as a legitimate target.
MI5 chief: Leaks 'hand terrorists the advantage'
The Director General of MI5 has defended the security services right to remain secret in the wake of the Edward Snowden NSA and GCHQ leaks.
Speaking in public for the first time since taking on the role Andrew Parker said publishing details of the service's work, "hands the advantage to the terrorists."
He said: "What we know about the terrorists, and the detail of the capabilities we use against them together represent our margin of advantage. That margin gives us the prospect of being able to detect their plots and stop them.
"But that margin is under attack. We are facing an international threat and GCHQ provides many of the intelligence leads upon which we rely.
"It makes a vital contribution to most of our high priority investigations. It causes enormous damage to make public the reach and limits of GCHQ techniques.
"Such information hands the advantage to the terrorists. It is the gift they need to evade us and strike at will. Unfashionable as it might seem, that is why we must keep secrets secret, and why not doing so causes such harm."
Cameron to urge G8 leaders not to pay terror ransoms
David Cameron is expected to urge all G8 leaders to commit their countries not to pay terror ransoms in an international effort to cut off extremists' funding.
Up to 70 million US dollars (£45 million) is estimated to have been paid to secure the release of Western captives in the last three years alone - an average 2.5 million US dollars (£1.59 million) per victim.
Much of that is believed to have ended up in the coffers of terror groups including al Qaida and its affiliates and the Taliban.
The UK outlaws such payments but other countries - including some within the group of leading industrialised nations - continue to meet the demands to the frustration of non-payers.
Gang tried to make bomb from terror manual
The Luton terrorist group were trying to make an an improvised explosive device (IED) based on instructions in an al Qaida manual entitled "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom - by the al Qaida chef", the court was told.
Covert recordings of the pair heard Iqbal suggesting attaching the bomb to a remote controlled toy car and sending it under the gap of a gate to a Territorial Army (TA) centre in Luton.
The men were arrested following a series of raids at their homes in April last year after an intelligence-led joint operation by the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and the British Security Service (BSS).
TA centre targeted by terror group
A Territirial Army centre in Luton was the planned target for a terror group. Four men have admitted engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.
Luton terror group set for sentencing
Four Luton men could be sentenced today after admitting discussing carrying out a terror attack in the UK.
Zahid Iqbal, 31, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, 25, Umar Arshad, 24, and Syed Farhan Hussain, 21, considered methods, materials and targets for an attack.
The men were arrested following a series of raids in April last year. They pleaded guilty to one terrorism charge at Woolwich Crown Court.
The four men downloaded computer files containing practical instruction for an attack, and collected funds for terrorist purposes.
They also admitted facilitating, planning and encouraging travel overseas, as well as organising, encouraging and participating in physical training, contrary to section 5 of the Terrorist Act 2006.
The offences took place between January 2011 and April last year.
Accused thought 7/7 bombs 'had not done enough damage', court hears
Irfan Naseer, 31, and Irfan Khalid, 27, travelled to Pakistan for terrorist training before returning to the UK in July last year, jurors at Woolwich Crown Court were told.
In one conversation, Naseer was heard agreeing that the July 7 attacks had not done enough damage because there were no nails in the bombs.
The two men, along with Ashik Ali, also 27, are accused of being "central figures" in the alleged extremist plot.
Ali told police in interview that the plan had involved him wearing a suicide vest as well as carrying a gun, the jury heard.
Muslim trio plotted attack bigger than 7/7, court hears
Three British Muslims plotted a suicide bombing campaign on a scale greater than the July 2005 attacks, a court has heard today.Read the full story ›
Abu Hamza pleads not guilty to terror charges
Radical cleric Abu Hamza has pleaded not guilty in a New York court to charges he conspired to set up a terrorist training camp in the US, according to the Associated Press.
Wife of Abu Hamza asked to move house
The wife of Abu Hamza has been asked to move out of her five-bedroom council house in west London. Najat Mostafa has reportedly been living at the property in Shepherd's Bush since 1995. But Hammersmith and Fulham Council wants her to move to a smaller home.
We believe this home is too big for the number of family members who currently live there and, with over 10,000 people languishing on the borough's housing waiting list, she should move to a more appropriate property.
Najat Mostafa is allowed to refuse the council's request because there is no time limit on her tenancy agreement.

Hi all,
So I would like you to know that I am making a Minecraft Server on port 25565. The problem is, that my friends can't connect to my server but I can, even though they use my public IP address. I myself can't connect through my public IP address, but only by my LAN one. I have a feeling that even though I don't get any messages, Kaspersky Firewall is either blocking the connections or blocking port 25565. Can someone please explain in detail about how to configure Kaspersky Firewall so that my server can work? Any help would be appreciated.

Autopsy reports released in Glenn County bus crash
REDDING, Calif. - Officials in Glenn County have released the official cause of death of 9 people who died in a crash involving a bus and Fed Ex truck on Interstate 5 in April.
The Glenn County Coroner's Office released autopsy results Monday for the 9 victims the department was responsible for investigating. A tenth person also died in the crash.
The report concluded that 7 of the victims died of asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation. Two others were killed by injuries sustained during the collision.
The autopsy reports will be sent to the California Highway Patrol and National Transportation Safety Board as part of their investigation.
The bus involved in the crash was one of two taking high school students from Southern California on a visit to Humboldt State University. The bus was traveling northbound just north of Orland when a southbound Fed Ex truck crossed the center divide and hit the bus head on.

Finding and being a good graduate advisor
Mohamed Noor, Caiti Heil
Caiti: Invariably, some problems will arise in the advisor-student relationship, and given the role difference, students will certainly experience a feeling of powerlessness. They will be uncomfortable bringing their concerns to the advisor, and they won't know where else to turn if the problem is not easily resolved.
Mohamed: What are you saying, Caiti?
Caiti: Oh, nothing. But it seems that a lot of problems with advisors start as issues between lab members that then become issues with the advisor when the advisor mismanages resolving a conflict or disagreement. Ideally, the advisor should not show any favoritism and hear everyone out. Ultimately, he may come down on one side of a disagreement, but it's essential that everyone's perspective be considered. Everyone should feel that the advisor is looking out for their success and well-being, as well as the success of their projects. But there will be times that problems will feel unresolved, and students sometimes need to vent about their advisors to their friends.
Mohamed: Advisors also need to vent, but it's essential for advisors not to vent to (or in front of) students about other students. Instead, faculty can strategize or rehearse difficult discussions with their colleagues or spouses, and get "reality checks" on whether they're being reasonable. As people often say, it's good to sit on angry e-mails for a day or longer before sending them, too, and maybe even get a colleague or spouse to look it over. I've certainly edited a large number of e-mails by my colleagues that eventually went to their students, and they've edited several of mine!
However, even with many precautions, problems will arise that venting alone won't solve. Students do have means for recourse, even if they may feel uncomfortable. The best first step for students is to attempt to discuss issues with the advisor directly. As with any relationship, communication is crucial, and tackling things early can prevent huge blowups or hurt feelings later. I served as a director of graduate studies for a degree-granting program, and students would often complain to me about their advisors. However, when I'd ask these students if they'd talked with their advisors about the issues, they'd often reveal that they had only discussed them very indirectly despite being quite bothered. That said, the power differential is huge, and advisors should appreciate that students may not be completely forthcoming about concerns.
The thesis committee is the second line of defense, since these people are partially responsible for protecting the student and should know something of her history. The third place to go with concerns is the department or university administration. Students should keep in mind that, aside from extreme problems or actions that are arguably illegal, they should be sure to have exhausted the first two before going this route.

Implementing changes in behaviors of both primary care providers and their high-risk clients with chronic disease
The Foundation's initiative, Prescription for Health: Promoting Healthy Behaviors in Primary Care Research Networks, was designed to develop, field test, and disseminate innovative and feasible interventions for primary-care based health behavior change counseling.The purpose of this project is to use a multidimensional strategy to promote behavior changes in the diverse, low-income populations served by eight academic community nursing centers. This plan will pair group health education and support sessions with increased activity sessions, and develop/reinforce a social network component for each participant. Provider behavior changes will be promoted through the implementation of: (1) standardized health assessments; (2) health education program referral procedures; (3) intensive nurse outreach; and (4) health promotion curriculum tailored for low-income, culturally diverse clients at risk for poor health outcomes due to poor diet and limited activity.

Lady With Already Broken Arm Snaps Other Arm While Arm Wrestling
Look I'm not an expert in arm wrestling. I haven't arm wrestled in probably a decade. But I do know this, if you already have one broken arm from arm wrestling you probably want to take a quick breather. Maybe find a new hobby. Collect stamps, start bird watching, or even just start drinking milk and taking a multi vitamins so that your bones aren't a sleeve of ritz crackers. I don't know, basically anything besides what you just did.
This is one of those times where I thank god I sit at home all day with just my dog because I literally screamed like a little girl when her arm broke. Shriek city, population Big Cat.

Data Quality and Timeliness | PAR Data Quality
Complete, accurate, and reliable data are essential for effective decisionmaking. State and local educational agencies have historically provided education performance data that do not meet our information quality standards. Since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act, the accuracy of state and local education performance data has become even more crucial. Funding decisions are made and management actions are taken on the basis of this performance information. Reliable information is a prerequisite for effective management and essential for implementing the requirements of laws and governmentwide standards for dissemination of information.
Ensuring that data are high quality is not solely the responsibility of our grantees that report data to us. The Department is responsible for accurate definitions of requested data, efficient systems to gather it, and technical assistance to data providers. The Department itself also develops and uses data. One of the most visible areas in which this occurs is the annual budget development process. The central focus of our budget process is to align goals, objectives, performance measures, and program funding levels to develop a performance budget. One of the five governmentwide elements of the President's Management Agenda is the integration of budget and performance, which focuses on making budget decisions based on results.
The Department, facing the opportunities provided by both the No Child Left Behind Act and the integrated performance-based budget process, recognizes that we need to improve the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of our data.
Although immediate connections between specific grantee performance and funding levels are sometimes challenging to make, the Department is building systems to yield reliable performance data to inform budget and policy decisions. These systems will enhance our budget process and increase the accuracy and reliability of the information we receive from state and local educational agencies.
Chief among these efforts is the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN), the Department's centralized K-12 data management repository. Other data quality improvement efforts include those supported by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.
In addition to these efforts, the Department is also working with states to address systemic issues in improving the reliability and accuracy of states' data. During Title I compensatory education state monitoring visits, for example, Department staff collect evidence on whether a state has established clear criteria and quality control mechanisms for collecting data from schools and school districts that are used for accountability purposes.
The Department has recently initiated a contract task order to develop data quality guidelines for states and school districts that will provide guidance and suggestions for improving states' internal quality control systems to reduce errors and increase reliability, as well as to improve data quality monitoring procedures. The Department will disseminate this guide to states along with training material to accompany the guide.
The performance data in this Performance and Accountability Report, the best data we have, are only as accurate as what is reported to us by our grantees. Our evolving management controls are not yet able to fully describe the accuracy of these data. However, the Department has had a consistent focus on improving the quality of the data we use to administer our programs and to develop policy. Each year the data we report are more accurate and more reliable than those of prior years.
Major hurdles must be overcome before the states and the Department have the data systems that will yield timely, reliable, accurate, high-quality data. Among them are improving the timeliness and accuracy of performance information; building and maintaining the technical infrastructure of hardware, software, and networks; and securing the services of staff who are able to work with these systems. We are no longer working to build a single data system; our goal is an integrated system of systems. We welcome this challenge.

Hi Estelle and Mick,
you made me laugh, again when you wondered why everyone was wanting their photo taken with you. It is strange to be so conspicuous . I also thought it funny your observations on men holding hands and just wanting to talk to the man present. It is the same in Pakistan and I think India is more westernised or used to Westerners than Pakistan and more people speak English in Indian than Pakistan and I think there is more tourism in India than Pakistan. However India is more multi ethnic than Pakistan which is predominabntly Islamic and this also has an influence. It is great that you are getting to see so many of the areas attractions. The photos are great you must have been very close to the decorated elephant . Chris likes the aniseed palet cleanser and lasssi milk drink also. Have you tried a drink called Green tea which is pink and flavoured with cardomen ? It is a spiced tea that is not the same as green tea that has become popular with some here? I liked the sign and yes there are some funny expressions used which you almost stop noticing you are so pleased to understand someone's English and accent.
Day 10 Jaipur
Loading Map
Today was a "free" day - meaning no guided visits, so we engaged Veero to take us to a few places.
First was the "Albert Hall" - a museum in a lovely building dedicated to Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert who was quite pally with the Maharajah of Jaipur and took a great interest in the place. Incidentally this Maharajah went on a ship to England in 1902 and brought with him 2 vast solid silver urns filled with water from the Ganges so he could drink and bathe in this and cleanse himself from too much contact with unclean folk!! They held 8000 litres of water!
Next we visited a modern Hindu temple called Birla temple - a white marble structure where we had to take our shoes off first. It seemed an airy space inside with a curtained off area. Then a bell rang and folk started assembling and they clapped happily when the curtains drew back
Then a priest started throwing out holy water from the Ganges onto the devotees. I got splashed and a man told me I was very lucky and that I should approach the Gods and they would grant my wishes!
We had a vegetarian lunch in a restaurant called "The Peacock" - complete with Peacock chairs (see photo) - then drove out of town to the Naharghah fort - another hilltop palace now deserted with fantastic views over the city. A kindly security guard attached himself to us insisting on showing us all 9 of the identical suites used by the 9 Queens and their king. - when we indicated that we were quite happy to continue wandering on our own he demanded a tip!!!
One thing that has happened frequently so far is that we are approached by random groups of Indian strangers to pose in their photos!! I'm trying to view this as a complement rather than the thought that they see us as freaks!!!
One taste I love - Banana Lassi. Yum !
We are getting to know Veero (Virander) better - he opens up more when its just him and us in the car. When the guides are present he let's on he can't speak English - but he does very well! He has a quirky turn of phrase e.g
"You looking Mam- is the Water Palace!"
"My brother who is small is coming - my wife wear veil!"
We've also noticed that men will hold hands or walk with arms around each other just in friendship here - no indication of homosexuality!
Often if I ask a question to a male stranger he will ignore me and only respond to Mick! They also will shake hands with Mick but not me, and will be taken aback if I am the one to offer payment when Mick is also there!
I don't think I could cope with being subservient on a continual basis here!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures

They're here, there, and everywhere: Toxins produced by a common fungus are spreading beyond food crops and invading the environment, including water supplies, with unknown consequences, researchers in Switzerland report. Their study reveals a need for stronger monitoring and control of these overlooked "micropollutants."
The contaminants are members of a larger family fungal-produced toxins called mycotoxins. In the report, Thomas Bucheli and colleagues note that scientists have studied two of the most common mycotoxins -- deoxynivalenol and zearalenone -- in food and animal feed products for decades. However, scientists know very little about the distribution of these toxins elsewhere in the environment.
In the new study, the researchers exposed a winter wheat field to Fusarium graminearum, a major fungal source of deoxynivalenol and zearalenone, and subsequently monitored these toxins in the field's drainage water before, during and after harvest. Using high-tech lab instruments, they found that levels of these toxins increased significantly after harvest. Levels of deoxynivalenol, for instance, rose by almost 4,000-fold. Traces of these toxins were also found in a number of Swiss rivers, they note.
The study "Fusarium Mycotoxins: Overlooked Aquatic Micropollutants?" is scheduled for the Feb. 13 issue of ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jf073082k

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'd love some advice please. Fifteen yrs ago I suffered a herniated (slipped) disc in my lower back. Lots of sciatica and back pain followed, but thanks to physio and gym I finally got to a stage to begin running again 2 years ago. My back pain has got less and less, and I've been reassured that the odd twinge is muscular, not disc-related, more 'memory pain' from the original injury than anything more.
The problem is I've recently stepped up my training a little, and am now enduring quite a lot of lower back pain and some sciatica. It goes away if I have a total rest day but then returns. I run on dirt tracks in parks a lot, and do 4-5 runs pw: 1 lsr, 1 tempo/speedwork, and 2-3 reasonably easy runs. I also stretch for at least 15 mins after each run, using exercises physio gave me for this purpose.
I have recently stepped up my weekly lsr from 6 to 8 miles, and my 2-3 easies from 3 to 5 miles. As I write, I wonder if I have overdone things, too much too soon. If so, I'd love some advice about how to go about cutting back without making things too easy for myself. I have looked at Hal Higdon's training plans, but can't find one that totally fits my schedule and am a bit confused about what to do. I do pilates and yoga classes so have reasonably strong core. Very frustrated and disheartened. Any advice welcome. Thank you.
Maybe ask a physio or chiropractor for some advice?
I found I had some sciatica problems caused by weak glutes, that really interrupted my running. Although you have a strong core, have you done any specific glute strengthening work?
Thanks! What you say about glutes is interesting. I find that my right glute is often very tight, so I've been focusing on loosening it by stretching (it is the right side of my back and my right leg where I've been experiencing pain). For strengthening, I do 20 squats per day and use that pilates position, the bridge. Any other suggestions really welcome though. I've got an osteo appointment this afternoon, she's v. good. Unfortunately my physio is on maternity leave and they are difficult to find round here.
Can you independently glute squeeze? I'd bet it's a glute problem. Dysfunction there will refer to lumbar spine. Standing on one leg activating your core muscles and squeezing glutes is the way to go. Global exercises like squats won't help as squats are a leg exercise.
That's a great exercise, thanks! I'm really pleased too because the osteo said she doesn't think running caused it - my sacroiliac joint was disfunctioning, which I'm a bit prone to it turns out because of having one leg shorter than the other (I'm so used to that I forgot to note it in my OP). She sorted it and now feel much better. She thinks it may be to do with something entirely unrelated to running - dashing to the car with a load of heavy shopping and tripping up last week! She's told me to get back to pilates classes, so I've booked myself a session for tomorrow afternoon with a physio pilates trainer she's recommended. And I'm allowed to start running again tomorrow.
That's great news. Have you found pilates beneficial for running generally? I'm thinking of trying a class.
I'd really recommend it (just back from an hour one-to-one and really feel like my core has worked!) Definitely sorted out my back problems, which prob isn't relevant to you, but more generally it is a brilliant way of building a strong core, and a class will definitely help you to stretch and strengthen hips, glutes, abs, back muscles, hips and hamstrings. Physio who works with our local uni told me that he'd seen massive decrease in injuries among the runners in their athletics team when he started sending them to pilates classes. My tip would be to book a one-to-one with a pilates tutor who is a trained physio if at all possible, as they can advise on weak spots and suitable classes. But I know that kind of thing doesn't come cheap.
I might look up a class at least and see how that goes before investing too much £££. I was actually looking forward to the social aspect of a class as well, as only been living in the area for 7 months and still don't really know anyone outside work.

Skating on Wollman Rink is a winter tradition for New Yorkers and tourists alike, so many people have tied up their skates for the very first time on this ice. Ice skating is a long-standing and beloved tradition here in Central Park — as old as the Park itself.
The first part of Central Park to open to the public was the Lake, in 1858. That same winter, it filled with skaters. Soon after, skaters filled the 59th Street Pond as well. A century later, these water bodies were closed to skaters. Wollman Rink opened in 1950, a 33,000-square-foot venue built with a gift from Kate Wollman.
With its romantic backdrop, Wollman Rink puts visitors beneath the magical New York City skyline by day, and its twinkling lights by night. You can see why Wollman has been featured in films such as Love Story and Serendipity.

Quick hits from Brad Marchand and Peter Chiarelli conference call
|09.14.11 at 5:27 pm ET
Here are a few highlights from Bruins forward Brad Marchand and general manager Peter Chiarelli from Wednesday's conference call after Marchand signed a new two-year deal:
On getting a deal done before camp:
"From the get go I never was going to miss a day of camp. I never wanted that. I wanted to be here the first day. I wanted to show I wanted to be here and go through the whole camp with the guys and be a part of the team. I was very happy that it didn't have to come down to that, and we were able to get the deal done before camp, so now we can just move forward."
On the term of the deal:
"It's a great fit for both of us. I'm happy with the term. We talked about a little longer [deal] and I think that was just more about a little more security, but I think this was just a perfect fit for both parties."
On whether he will become an unrestricted free agent after the contract expires in 2012-13:
"No, I believe I still have two more years."
Opening statement:
"It took a little while, but I'm very happy to sign Brad to two years. He was a terrific performer in the playoffs, a clutch performer and just loves to play, plays on the edge, and we're really excited to have him with the Bruins for two more years."
On getting the deal done before camp:
"It was important. I didn't think that it would get to that stage. Brad's always told me that he wants to be here, and be part of the Bruins, and I know the works that Don Sweeney put in and Brad's representative, they put in some good time. I had a feeling it would get done. It's nice to finish this business before camp, because you fall behind in camp and it's hard to catch up. I didn't think it would get to that stage and it didn't."
On whether a longer deal was discussed:
"In these negotiations, you talk about a lot of different things. We did with this one, and we found that this term was probably best for both parties, and it gives some security. It gives Brad the ability to come back in a couple of years and negotiate with us again. It was just something that was a fit here, but we did talk about a bunch of different terms."
On whether other deals signed influence negotiations:
"These are all comparables, and there's a whole list of comparables that you talk about. it was something that we worked on throughout the summer. Deal's come up, we discuss deals, we discuss where our offers are, etc. Eventually you get a deal done."

Ripoff Report
Ray Skillman Indianapolis Indiana1300 US Highway 31 S. Indianapolis, Indiana United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have helped companies marked away from these reports but this is the first, even as an SEM guy, to write because of how disguested I was by the service of Ray Skillman. I found their website online and researched a car I wanted. The car stated call for details. I looked up the Kelly Blue Book and found the car was worth at the most $6,700 in excellent condition, which incorporates about 2 percent of all vehicles on the road as shown here http://www.kbb.com/kbb/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?YearId=2001&VehicleClass=UsedCar&ManufacturerId=32&Condition=Excellent&ModelId=221&PriceType=Retail&VehicleId=4738&Mileage=73000&SelectionHistory=4738%7C32592%7C46202%7C0%7C0%7C183403%7Ctrue. [continued below]....
I gave Ray Skillman a call and spoke with Elaine. She took my information and setup an appointment but told me she had to pick up her kids so she wouldn't be there for the appointment. She told me the vehicle was $6,850 to purchase so I went down to the lot. I am driving through the lot with my fiance just looking at the other available cars and we are literally being followed by a man so obese he was about 5 pounds from being in a wheel chair. We stop and are instantly attacked, "didn't know if you where ever going to stop." He takes us over to a little office where I fill out another application.
The finance manager comes out after speaking two women. In front of me the salesman, the receptionist and my fiance he announces she didn't qualify for financing. I have never seen a business with such neglect for private information. I am not sure of the Managers name but he was a taller bald guy. Now this guy gets to me and asks me a few questions and takes a look at my drivers license. I moved last month so he asks about my drivers license address and then goes into a rant about how the terrorist are using cars to blow people up and that's why the DMV is getting so strict about it. I think he must have an IQ of at least 90 to have such a profound knowledge of terrorist activity. I personally hadn't heard of any car bombings being a big problem in Indiana and terrorist certainly are not going to register the car that will be blown up in their name, and if they are pulling parts from it maybe this guy never heard of a junk yard.
I get into his little cubicle office and we start talking about terms and car prices. I told him the calculated payment he made was way off base from what I was quoted earlier that day. He then tells me that he wants 10,000 - 11,000 for this 1991 vehicle that I was told was 5,000 less and KBB says is really worth about 5 grand. The whole atmosphere of the dealership felt sleazy and dirty like I would imagine a w***e house would feel. Stay away from Ray Skillman, www.rayskillman.com.

I came across your Ripoff Report on Google. You have a Greenwood address as Indianapolis. I think you where at the Greenwood location.
Ray Skillman asks us to to "treat everyone like family". It doesn't sound like you were treated properly. I do not think you should slam the organization from your experience. The General Manager or Ray Skillman could resolve the problem with specifics.
Again, sounds like you were not treated properly. However, the comparisons in your report are unwarranted. We are a pretty good group of people.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 27, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, April 27, 2010
It is obvious that you work for the company or handle their seo. I actually went there for a late model used vehicle at a fair price. After this experience I decided not to purchase a used vehicle, I went and purchased a new vehicle at 5% financing, my credit is very good so your observations are wrong. I thank you for replying to the post and helping it raise levels in the search engines. Please continue to post so it can be raised to the top when someone searches for Ray Skillman www.rayskillman.com.
If this isn't an employee of Ray Skillman than you should really have your finances in order by the time your daughter is 19 so you can help her out; better yet buy her a car like a responsible parent does before their kid goes to college, but I doubt you or her have or will go to school as most sleazy car salesman don't.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Big C S03E02: "What's Your Story?"
Ah, that awkward moment when someone who was never supposed to see your blog reads your blog. We've all been there...some of us more than once, because sometimes it takes a shamefully long time to realize how the internet works. Poor Paul, however, just learned his lesson when Adam read about Cathy's Season 1 affair with Lenny on Paul's blog and threw a sad, no-one-understands-me hissy fit in response. Since Paul conveniently left out the part about his own affair, Adam was more than happy to go back to vilifying his mother. Cathy was thrilled. I think I'm starting to understand why she's so keen on playing pretend over at the Naked Turtle.
Paul just wanted to tell his story. It's a noble aspiration, sure, and Paul has a very good story to tell, but he definitely started down the slippery slope of artistic vision. The problem with "I just want to tell my story" is that "your story" isn't always the truth. Memoirists both on the internet and off are often slammed for exaggerating events in their stories, for altering actions, motivations, conversations. A memoirist can do that and still tell his or her story, but sometimes the factual accuracies behind that story have been altered...and sometimes the very meaning of the story itself has changed, too. Paul was not incorrect in his revelation of Cathy's affair, but by omitting the details of his own, he painted an incorrect picture of the situation. As a result, the understanding his readers gleaned from his experience was skewed.
Unfortunately, when the memoir is written as a blog post that's read by one's friends and family, the results tend to be a little more immediate and harsh, which was certainly the case when Adam read about Cathy and Lenny without the additional details of Paul and Tina. Cathy, sick of being the bad guy, demanded that Paul admit his affair to Adam—and while I saw her point and certainly wanted to kick Paul in the junk in retaliation, I couldn't help but wonder how much good a confession would actually do.
The answer? Not much.
Poor Adam, he just wants at least one parent who can act like an adult.
And there, dear readers, is the crux of the problem I had with "What's Your Story?" Last week, I questioned how much longer The Big C can go on in its current state. Specifically, I talked about the idea of cancer and humor, but my concern also extends to the very characterizations of Paul and Cathy.
Adults are people too. I get that. Hitting age 18 or 25 or 30 or 41 does not instantly grant anyone the magical ability to act his or her age. The very idea of acting one's age is flawed and archaic and just plain incorrect. The major difference between myself at 18 and myself at 25? About 20 pounds and a stack of student loan bills. But Paul and Cathy's rebellion against their social expectations would be easier to swallow if they (A) didn't completely disregard the effects their actions have on others, and (B) see (A).
I don't have a kid, but I like to think that if I did, I would at least try to rise above my bad habits and mistakes. I'm not saying that I would succeed, but I would try, and if I failed miserably, I'd at least feel bad about it. Adults and parents can be just as immature as their teenagers and two-year-olds, but the thing that sets them apart from their spawn is that they supposedly try to transcend it.
Cathy and Paul don't try anymore and my inability to see them as responsible, admirable parents has severely inhibited my ability to sympathize with them as characters. Cathy's quote, "I made mistakes. I'm gonna make more," felt more like an excuse than the empowering message I'm sure it was meant to be, and her confrontation with the school principal coupled with the trip to the tattoo parlor in the final scene of "What's Your Story?" made me roll my eyes rather than cheer for Cathy's newfound rebellious nature. We've spent two seasons watching Cathy and Paul indulge in Cathy and Paul. There is nothing new about it.

Apple, which was named the world's most valuable brand earlier this week toppling Coca-Cola, has higher store sales per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But can Apple's store portfolio cope with the demands of millions of new iPad and iPhone owners.
Angela Ahrendts, Burberry's chief executive, has been poached by Apple to run their retail empire from next summer. And the hope is that her experience of creating a global network of stores for Burberry, will help push Apple's in-store service in the right direction.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, has said that Ahrendts "places the same strong emphasis as we do on the customer experience."
The last person to run Apple's retail empire, former Dixons boss John Browett, was fired after less than six months in the role in October last year.
Do you work in an Apple store? What changes do you think Angela Ahrendts needs to make to improve Apple's in-store customer experience and meet demand?

Philly vs. Iowa for the Soul of the ComputerPosted in All Posts on January 29th, 2011 by Bill
In the just-released February 2011 issue, here Philadelphia Magazine sends a wake-up call to the town: Don't stand there and let Iowa get all the glory! It explains that Smiley's book is trying to give Atanasoff all the credit for the idea of the electronic computer and Philly is, find well, oblivious.
Read the whole article here: PHILLY MAG
An excerpt:
"But a growing group of Iowans, perhaps miffed that their state is best known for a not particularly nutritious vegetable, would have you believe that it was their Midwestern home that begat this world-changing technology. In October, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and former Iowa State University professor Jane Smiley published The Man Who Invented the Computer. In it, she vilifies Mauchly and argues that he stole the intellectual property of ISU physicist John Atanasoff, who had developed a computing device of his own, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, in the late '30s.
"But more alarming than Iowa's attempt to claim our history is the lack of defense from the city and Penn. Thus far, our civic leaders' collective response has been, well, nil — and indeed, our city seems perfectly content to let this momentous, revolutionary accomplishment go largely uncelebrated. To wit: While a few pieces of ENIAC sit in some room at Penn, the remainder of surviving pieces lay in some storage room.
"Think about it: Say something nasty about the Eagles, and you'll get an earful from Ed Rendell. Declare New York City our superior in some minor respect, and watch the furor unfold. But the genesis of the computer? Eh, go ahead and take it."
Many thanks to Victor Fiorillo for the article and the great suggestion:

An Ikea advert showing a couple using increasingly violent methods to kill off garden gnomes has drawn dozens of complaints from viewers.
The homeware giant's Say No To Gnomes campaign features a family updating the look of their garden with new products, only to find the upset gnomes launching a revenge attack.
The couple fight back, kicking them across the garden and into a pond before using a hammock to hurl them against the fence.
One scene shows a furious gnome standing over the body of his broken friend.
The woman finally aims a jet of hose water at an assembled mob, smashing them into pieces.
The ad finishes with the tagline: "Make more of your garden. Say no to gnomes."
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it received nearly 50 complaints that the ad was offensive, unsuitable for children, frightening, violent and encouraged emulation and anti-social behaviour.
The ASA said: "As a starting point, we take all the complaints we receive seriously. However, just because an ad has prompted a negative reaction amongst some viewers does not mean that we will automatically investigate.
"We didn't take any further action on this occasion.
"While we appreciated that the ad would not be to everyone's taste, we thought it was clearly fanciful and light-hearted. We also didn't share the view that it would encourage or condone violence or anti-social behaviour and was unlikely to upset children."
What do you think? Watch the controversial ad below.

Brown not only took his secrets to the grave - he ensured his own death was kept quiet. He left instructions that no funeral notices be placed.
Only one of his second wife's daughters knows any details of his funeral, but when The Age reached her yesterday she wasn't talking. All that is known is that after his wife, Charlotte, died last April, he was put in a home at Malanda, north of Townsville. He died alone on July 6.
Brown has no known living blood relatives. His only kin are the children and grandchildren of two widowed sisters he married - the second one soon after the suspicious sudden death of the first.
Brown's name hit the headlines in 1998, after a woman broke a 30-year silence to tell police he had molested five children related to his first wife - often at the same spot where the Mackay sisters' bodies were found in 1970.
He had also owned a car in 1970 with one odd-coloured door, matching a description of one driven by the man who had abducted the Mackay girls. Relatives believe he replaced the door and buried it days after the murders.
Brown's first wife, Hester, crippled by arthritis, became a virtual prisoner in their neat fibro and timber house in Rosslea, an old suburb of Townsville. She died suddenly in May, 1978, from injuries Brown claimed she suffered in a fall.
Police believe the family doctor wrote out a death certificate without examining the body, which Brown had cremated immediately. Already close to Hester's younger sister Charlotte, a mother of five, he married her soon after.
Brown, a fit, wiry man, was unusually strong and obsessively neat, wearing pressed clothes to work as a maintenance carpenter on state government buildings. The Mackay sisters' clothes were found neatly folded near their bodies.
The evidence against Brown was strong but circumstantial. He twice blurted cryptic confessions to the Mackay girls' murders, once to a workmate and once to a stranger in a pub.
A Queensland jury could not reach a verdict in 1999, and a new trial was blocked on the ground that he was too senile to be tried again.
If Brown was a monster, what made him so? A stepson, Robert Neilsen, says Brown talked incessantly - but rarely mentioned children. "Except once, when the subject of little kids came up and he started to cry and said we had to look after the little children."
But Neilsen has no sympathy for the man his mother stuck with to the end of her life. "I can't believe such an insignificant little arsehole had such a profound effect on so many people's lives."

Use the report feature whenever you see serious issue. Good advice type in your chat log any info the mods might need to understand.
You can type it in club or group chat if you don't want people around aware of it. Mods see all of them.

Coat pan with cocoa instead of flour for chocolate cakes.
I love baking and this is a tip that I've found works very nicely when making chocolate cake or brownies. If the recipe asks that you butter and then flour the pans before putting the batter in, do the following. Shake a little cocoa in there instead of the flour so that there aren't any white deposits on your cake or brownies when you serve the creation.
Dear Fishleaves,
I like it! Not only is it practical and makes the food visually more attractive, but it perks up the flavors too. Thanks!

text: Hello, Let me explain my situation. I'm home for the holidays, I return to college in a week and I want to put some more movies onto my PowerBook (they're stored in iTunes). However I've come across a few problems... I can't seem to rip The Devil Wears Prada, Pulse, Accepted or Lost S2. I've already ripped twelve R1 DVDs before (with HandBrake) without a problem. But with Devil Wears Prada (and the others) in HandBrake says "no valid title" after it has been scanned. My friend told me about MacTheRipper. The 2.6??? Version brings error messages about Bad Sectors. So I donated some money to get the newer in-development version, but the same thing happed. The error this time is an "IFO Error"? (i have no idea what that is). This happens to all the DVDs mentioned. I even used my Windows computer and still nothing. All the DVDs tried today are R1, and my drive is set to R2 - THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM RIGHT THERE, and I don't want to use any of my changes. I use my laptop for playing DVDs a lot while I'm at college/away from home. But I think thats what the problem is. I just can't figure out why others like Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls and Supernatural (all of which are R1) copied without any problems. Any ideas? Even if i just get Devil Wears Prada into iTunes I'll be fine, I'll catch up with Lost on TV. THANKS for any help.

Hey everyoooone!
Swapped cluster rings and needles over from a ( B5.5? ) Passat. Color matched the needle centers to the rings, and molded the center of the passat cluster into the GTI cluster so I could use the small circle rings and the turn signal/brights covers. I also wrinkle blacked the "housing" to match the rest of my interior. I also have a Newsouth double column pod molded into a stock steering wheel cover, not pictured though, thats what the gaps about. Just want to see what you guys think, and yes the lens are going to get a good buffing, stupid PO scratches.

I don't see that there is anyway they can let Mark Miller ride if he does not make the qualifying cut off time even if he came from the moon. They wouldn't let Jenny ride. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Oh sorry should that be gender?
Though it does look like Hudson has been stitched up as well. Bet he'll be parting company as well before the next round.

Despite the name, which indicates this should be used on your feet, Rejuvenating Foot Balm is quite similar to KORA Organics Enriched Body Lotion Nourish and Rehydrate. Unfortunately, this also carries through on the same theme of an irritant-laden formula that is more fragrance than beneficial ingredients; however, this is less of a problem in a foot cream than it is in a body or facial cream.
Sidestepping the attractive marketing copy, this isn't the relief your feet need, and it doesn't contain the array of skin-reparative agents necessary to keep skin healthy and smooth.
Ideally, a balm targeted for the feet should contain intensive moisturizing agents, anti-irritants, and, for calluses or thickened skin, exfoliating ingredients like glycolic or salicylic acid. While the exfoliants would be going above and beyond, the former ingredients (moisturizing ingredients and anti-irritants) are certainly non-negotiable, even for the most basic products sold at the drugstore.
Rejuvenating Foot Balm does contain some basic emollients and antioxidants, but its Achilles' Heel (sorry, we couldn't resist) is the dominant amount of fragrant lavender and hibiscus. Things get even worse with the addition of peppermint, orange, and bergamot oils, which contain potent allergens (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). While these ingredients may lend a pleasing scent, fragrance isn't skin care.
We recommend taking your feet in the opposite direction from this foot balm—it contains far too many problematic ingredients and not nearly enough beneficial ingredients to earn even an AVERAGE rating. Instead, consider any of the far superior alternatives in our list of GOOD to BEST Foot Lotions/Creams/Balms in Beautypedia.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin. (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
KORA Organics Rejuvenating Foot Balm contains refreshing Essential Oils combined to soothe, cool and enliven tired, aching feet and heels. KORA Organics soothing foot balm moisturises and rejuvenates dry dead skin cells while the combination of Essential Oils leave the feet feeling refreshed and renewed. KORA Organics foot balm is non-greasy and conditioning and is a must for sore, aching and tired feet.
Aloe Barbardensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender), Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea), Rosa Centifolia (Rose Petals), Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Hibiscus) Extract, Olivoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Oleate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil, Morinda Citrifolia (Noni Fruit) Extract, Trehalose, Benzyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Soybean Derived Natural Vitamin E), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Oil, Lecithin, Dehydroacetic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Ssp. Bergamia (Bergamot) Oil, Sodium Chloride (Macrobiotic Sea Salt), Lactic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Aqua (Water), Limonene, Linalool.
Strengths: No jar containers, which helps preserve the beneficial antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive natural ingredients.
Weaknesses: Products contain an overwhelming amount of fragrance; nearly all have multiple irritating ingredients; makes unsubstantiated claims about ingredients; no reliable sunscreens; average, dated formulas that are overpriced for what you get.
Our introduction to KORA Organics began with this quote from its founder, Australian Victoria's Secret lingerie model Miranda Kerr: "All of the water used in our mists has been infused through rose quartz crystals … so that the vibration of love associated with rose quartz flows through each product."
That's one way Kerr describes the science behind how her products have been developed. It also succinctly summarizes why, from our perspective, celebrity status of any kind does not make anyone a skin-care expert. We can't think of a bigger mistake than trusting your skin to a love-infused vat of problematic formulas, at least not when it comes to dealing with concerns like acne and wrinkles.
Kerr created the KORA Organics brand with the belief that only organic ingredients are suitable for skin. The KORA line makes the unsurprising (and unsubstantiated) claims common to many natural brands, which is that "natural = good" for your skin and everything else is terrible for your skin.
Let's begin by addressing the "organic" claim. First of all, the term initially was used primarily in reference to food products, where "organic" referred only to the raw materials (i.e., the vegetable you pull out of the ground) and/or described food produced without the use of pesticides or artificially created or administered hormones—it didn't have any bearing on skin-care products. Nowadays, as we're sure you're aware, it's commonly used in marketing for cosmetics and their ingredients. BUT—and this is a big BUT—there is no legitimate, published research that demonstrates organic ingredients have any special benefit for skin. There's literally zero research—it's all about the emotional pull of the term "organic."
It's important to note that any natural ingredient must be processed to make it safe and usable as a cosmetic ingredient, and that processing modifies the ingredient significantly, leaving it about as natural as polyester!
Many natural ingredients have benefits for skin, but many natural ingredients also are irritating and skin damaging as well. The natural pleasant-scented lavender oil is a notable example, as are most citrus extracts, some of which can cause phototoxic reactions when skin is exposed to sunlight. On the other hand, some of the best ingredients in skin-care products are synthetically derived, such as retinol, salicylic acid, peptides, and others. When it comes to evaluating skin-care ingredients, the critical factor is what the published and peer-reviewed research has demonstrated to be true, especially if your goal is to take great care of your skin.
Among the key natural ingredients present in KORA Organics products, those called out most often are rosehip oil and noni juice. Kerr claims she has been applying noni juice topically for years to treat all her skin-care woes. Unfortunately, noni juice has little research demonstrating any special benefit for skin beyond an antioxidant benefit, which is found in hundreds of other plant extracts as well. Kerr claims that the noni plant contains "more than 170 vitamins and minerals alone," but that's inaccurate—the noni plant is a fairly simple mix of about 40 chemical compounds, none of which are unique.
Rosehip oil does contain high amounts of vitamin C, but only when freshly extracted—when rosehip oil is processed and added to the formula of a skin-care product, the majority of its vitamin C content is destroyed. Fortunately, even after the processing, rosehip oil remains a good emollient for dry skin, but it isn't as magical as Kerr makes it out to be. Pure, stabilized vitamin C is a far better ingredient for skin, but that's not what these products contain.
What you're left with in this line is a collection of products that are potently fragranced—the toners could actually double as perfume in a pinch. Almost every product in the line has a formula that's a blend of ordinary plant-based emollients, such as olive and jojoba oils, aloe, shea butter, and fatty acids (which is nice for dry skin but that's about it), and a mix of irritating essential oils and fragrant flower extracts. Unfortunately, all of the products are quite expensive considering what you're getting in return, which is a mostly just a headache for your skin.
If you're interested in natural products, there are far better options than the disappointing ones from KORA Organics. Check out our reviews of Alba Botanica or Yes To for comparable or superior alternatives for far less money.

Date of Stay: April, 2014
The new owners took over this park last April. They have improved the boat ramp to handle three boats at the same time. The lake is 7.5 feet low, but we saw a 25' party barge launch with no problems. We stayed in site #1, which is waterfront and the sunsets were awesome. They have fishing, paddle boats to rent, shaded sites, live bait, and a small general store. The bath houses were small, but clean. They plan to add additional restrooms, cabins, laundry, and grill, later. Corsicana is about twenty minutes away, so plan on bringing your groceries with you. They do allow campfires and grills. This is a gem in the making.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
As others stated, this is a small park located just three miles from Taos. The sites are gravel, and somewhat unlevel, but leveling our rig was easy enough. The bathrooms (only two) were large and very clean. Check in was completed the next day, as we arrived on a Sunday, and the office was closed. The park is gated, but not too sure it really helped for security, since there's no fence around the property. This park is just a few miles from the Rio Grand Gorge bridge, a must see, as well as the 'Enchanted Circle', a nice two hour scenic drive through the mountains and Red River. Wi-Fi was very weak, but our Verizon card worked well. The laundry has one washer and one dryer, $1.00 each. We would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Due to a cancellation, we were able to get a large pull-thru site at the front part of the park. Our site was level and gravel based. Other sites at the back of the park were much smaller, and looked to be fairly unlevel, but had many shade trees. The laundry area was dated, but very clean. There were ample machines. We did not use the bathrooms or showers, so we don't have an opinion on them. The park has a huge dog run. The folks that work there are out going and very friendly. Check in was a breeze, and they escorted us to our site. Watch out for bears. We didn't see any, but were told that they were in the area. The board fence at the back of the park was damaged from a spooked bear trying to escape the park. They had Karaoke one night while we were there, but shut it down at 10:00 PM, in observance of quiet time. This is a great location for visiting Durango, Silverton, and the Million Dollar Highway to Ouray was the most scenic we've experienced. The Durango to Silverton passenger train goes by at least twice a day. That's a great photo opt. If in the area, we'll stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This was a very nice park, with beautiful views of the Sandia mountains. All sites are pull-through, but some leveling is required. It's a great location to see Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Bandelier. The tram to the top of the mountains, and eating at the High Finance restaurant, is a must. The workout room was in a bit of a mess, but I blame the users for most of the problem. There are many fulltimers, but most seem to keep their sites tidy. There's a Wal-Mart within walking distance, about a 1/4 mile away. There is a casino about 1 mile from the park, but no shuttle. If in the area again, we would stay here. Our rate is based on a weekly fee, with staying six nights, and getting the seventh free.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This is a nice park. Very quiet, and centrally located between Carlsbad Caverns and Roswell. The sites are gravel, but mostly level. No shade, although trees have been planted for future shady spots. There are no picnic tables, which we missed. The sites are very wide and long. This is a refinery town, so expect many oil patch residents, although they are very quiet, and keep their sites very clean: no trash anywhere. We would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This is a great place to stay while checking out the sites. We were in site #20, which is a pull-through (sorta). These pull-throughs are actually front to back, and not side by side. The owner/operator keeps this place up really well. He and his sons often fly their RC airplanes, and really put on a show. The runway was just outside our front door. We were planning on staying just one week, but extended another week, because we really like it here. We would certainly come back, if in the area.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Good place to be close to the casino. The shuttle comes by your site every 20 minutes, 24-7. For a newer park, the sites weren't very level, but no big problem. We'll use this park again, if in the area.

The island-wide speed limit never tops 35 mph, so bicyclists sometimes move at too fast a pace for this town on a tiny, white-sand sliver about 50 miles south of Tampa. Instead of a car, it's more likely you'll use your bike, kayak, or flip-flops.

Programming Multicore Machines

Our research is aimed at developing techniques that enable writing
Our research is aimed at developing techniques that enable writing
software for multicore machines that both works correctly and uses the
available concurrency effectively. Earlier work in the group led to
Silo, a very high performance in-memory database system, and work on
Silo is continuing. In addition we are investigating Software
Transactional Memory (STM), an approach that helps with the
correctness problem but at the expense of performance. We are
designing an extension of STM that overcomes the performance problem
and we plan to study the effectiveness of our approach by using it to
reimplement Silo.

Here in Ohio these types of Christmas tree stands are popular. They consist of three (3) steel rebar legs with a center steel spike through a water reservoir. When you purchase the tree, the tree seller will drill a deep hole into the middle of the tree. The spike in the stand fits neatly into the hole in the tree for a secure fit.
How to keep the rebar legs from scratching our newly refinished floors?
I found the answer in the plumbing section of my local hardware store: 1/2 inch water pipe insulation and zip ties.
