Product Description
Xiaoyaoshuai is designed for everyone interested in the practical take down applications of martial arts movements. Whether you are an internal or external style martial artists, you will find this routine to be beneficial to your training and to enhance your understanding of martial arts movements. Shuaijiao (take down) is used during close range combat situations where kicking and punching are not applicable or effective. Shuaijiao techniques are often trained individually. The Xiaoyaoshuai routine links together 36 effective and practical techniques, seamlessly from one application to the next; making it easy to learn take down techniques with or without a partner. Xiaoyaoshuai is the first published take down routine in the history of Chinese martial arts. Never before has there been a routine so well designed with effective and practical take down techniques in every move. It is truly one of a kind.

A S&W 640, 340, 442 is a fine choice, though you should be comfortable with shooting a snubbie revolver prior to purchase. They handle and shoot differently. About the smallest revolver I get any decent accuracy out of is a Ruger SP-101 in the slightly longer bbl. If you can fire any of these at a range, first, then you'll know. Check the Ruger, if you haven't. The lighter (particularly scandium-based) snubbies have stout kick, but the SP-101 tames that due to its weight and balance.
You can find them used, occasionally for quite a bit off new/store pricing. Before the run-up in prices since ~September or so, you could find used SP-101's for under $400 and occasionally a 442 or 340 for under $300. It's a bit more now.
Nicely, any decent holster maker covers all of them, so finding a good pocket, IWB or OWB holster should be simple.

Attributes and Production: There are a number of names applied to the same material: CRP, carbon fibre, carbon fibre reinforced plastic (hence the abbreviation) to name a few. Basically, the material is a composite of fibres that contain carbon, which in their thread form run parallel to one another and are embedded in a matrix: in the case of non-crimp fabrics they are lain in a criss-crossing pattern but in the case of textiles they are woven into a well-ordered weave. The matrix is a pourable, duroplastic plastic, most often epoxy resin or polyester.
CRPs have markedly good physical characteristics, especially their extraordinary firmness (strength) and rigidity reactions actually run the gamut from surprise to disconcertedness when a three millimetre thin rod is placed in someones hand and he tries to bend it. Considering the amount of effort expended, it just will not bend the way you would expect. At the same time, this material is particularly lightweight, has great vibration dampening attributes and little tendency to fatigue even under conditions of continuous dynamic strain. To put it simply and graphically: CRP is much lighter than aluminium while being at least as strong as steel. Further advantages include a low amount of thermal expansion and a high resistance to corrosion.
During production the fine carbon fibres are bundled into individual strands (rovings) of a certain thickness. These are then further processed depending on the intended use: for example, they could be cut into small pieces and used for lamination purposes. In such cases, single or multidirectional non-crimp materials or, alternatively, fibre mats are formed by arranging the fibres in a criss-cross pattern or in one fixed direction, respectively. The sturdiest form of this material is achieved when it is further processed into textile weaves whereby the construction of the mesh can be exactly matched to the type of strain or load which the future structural element will have to endure. The highest degree of strength always corresponds with the direction of the fibres a fact that obviously leads to the conclusion that a fabric structure in which the fibres run in many different directions will be stronger than one in which they run in only one direction.
Semi-finished products are mainly produced by means of three different processes:
- Pultrusion: Rovings are impregnated with a resin (polyester or epoxy epoxy is more sturdy but also more expensive) and pulled into strands through an extrusion orifice, which shapes them before the subsequent hardening process. The rovings, resp. carbon fibres are in this case aligned in one direction, the semi-finished product being especially strong in the corresponding direction.
- Filament winding: Rovings are impregnated in resin and wound onto rotating cores in changeable angles. Different grades and strengths are produced depending on the thickness of the rovings and the thickness of the coating that has been applied.
- Prepreg: the easily seen textile structure, which is typically associated with carbon (and gladly imitated by adhesive film), comes about as a result of a reinforcement material that is preimpregnated with a resin matrix being wound onto a metal mandrel. In this process as well, it is possible to match the layer stackup to the requirements the material must meet and to adjust the angle of the fibres as needed. Prepregs have the highest degree of strength but are also the most expensive version.
In general, a higher amount of fibre is what is wanted in a material usually between 50 and 80 percent: 60 percent fibre content should be considered as a standard to go by.
Applications: The future belongs to carbon! This statement may sound a bit oversimplified and platitudinous but the fact is that carbon is being used for more and more purposes. CRP is mainly used for rigid constructions, including:
- machine construction parts capable of withstanding a high degree of stress and which are highly vibration resistant, sturdy housings,
- sail battens, tennis racquets (because of its great vibration resistance, tennis arm has become much less of a problem than it was in the 70s), rigid kite frames and tent poles, frame pieces and, in the meantime, also seat supports for bicycles,
- flag and telescope poles, pointers, etc.
It is primarily used, however, for making very sturdy tubes, profiles or rods that are incredibly strong for their thickness and weight!
Treatment: CRP articles can be cut with a hacksaw or a circular saw; the ends, however, will indeed tend to fray and even further treatment will not improve the situation a great deal. A band saw with a diamond band saw blade is the ideal tool to work with; i.e. a very hard band saw blade with a relatively tight pattern of small teeth (gulleted edge configuration). A PRECISION DRILL GRINDER with a (diamond coated) CUTTING DISC can also be used with good results.
CRP can be drilled using a conventional carbide drill (with rather low rpms) but, here too, a bit that is diamond coated is recommended. The holes will not fray as much if a soft material (wood, plastic) is placed underneath when drilling.
Best gluing results are achieved when using a two-component epoxy adhesive. When elongating tubes or rods, it is best to employ an (additional) outer or inner mechanical connector like a sleeve or coupler.
Semi-finished products made from CRP take well to being painted but it should be noted that they often have a film of releasing agent on their exterior surface. So, as is generally the case with painting work, you should sand and clean the surface beforehand.

Pierce bangs his knee
|01.17.10 at 5:15 pm ET
Paul Pierce limped off the court during practice on Sunday in Waltham after he banged his knee into the leg of forward Shelden Williams, according to ESPN.
The injury, according to head coach Doc Rivers, didn't appear serious. But it was enough to force him out of the final moments of practice.
"It's starting to feel better, I hope he's fine," Rivers said following the session. Pierce was spotted at the end of practice with ice on his right knee – the same one that forced Pierce to the sidelines for five games around the holidays with an infection.
"He got kneed [in] same exact spot," Rivers said. "It's just amazing the luck right now with things like that."
The team held a full practice on Sunday after his team held a short workout on Saturday that included a skills competition.
The scary moment at the end of the practice comes as the team prepares to welcome back Rasheed Wallace to action in time for Monday's game against Dallas at TD Garden. Kevin Garnett is hopeful to return on Friday against Portland.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)
- Boat Review and Purchase Forum (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/)
- - a small question (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/21210-small-question.html)
a small question
hi all,
my first post on the site. i have a question for all of you.
my son, who is pretty experienced with sailing -- much more than i am -- but doesn't have much experience with big live-aboard ones, wants to strike out on his own and live on a boat. i envy his decision, and admire his enthusiasm, but want to make sure the details of the move are informed.
therefore, i'm asking all of you your opinions. Could this work? if so, what kind of boat should he get? he's on a meager, but sufficient, budget, and so is looking for a used, fixer-upper but seaworthy (if not immediately sail-able) boat anywhere from 27 to 40 feet. Any bigger than that, and he figured that marina fees wouldn't be cheaper than rent.
What models / brands of boat do you all suggest? it doesn't have to be the fastest boat in the world, but it should be livable, comfortable, and able to make relatively long journeys, say, the length of the chesapeake. i don't see him getting much more ambitious than that anytime soon. he's had his eye on some double-ended boats in the 34 foot range, but has yet to pull the trigger on any. also, what good, reliable online resources are there for finding used boats?
thanks for your advice!
What area of the world is he going to be in. Some parts are fairly expensive, and living aboard even a 28' sailboat is going to be at least as expensive as a small studio apartment.
This is possible, especially if he is in one of the more southern, warmer climes, less so if he is north of the Mason-Dixon line. The main reason I say this is that living aboard through a cold winter can be very difficult without a well-equipped boat.
Also, what kind of skills, aside from sailing ones, does he have. Can he do fiberglass repairs, electrical work, etc. If he does not have the mechanical aptitude and a can-do work ethic, then fixing up a boat may also be well beyond his abilities.
How old/mature is your son? This is a lot of responsibility, and many who think of doing this do not have the maturity or level of responsibility to handle it. It is far more responsibility to live aboard a sailboat than it is to live in an apartment. There are additional risks and challenges to living aboard, that do not exist when living in terrestrial housing—like storm preparation, etc.
What is his budget for purchasing/maintaining a boat? That will often determine what boats will be available to him.
A few good smaller boats: Contessa 26, Cape Dory 25, Alberg 30, Pearson Triton.
Just remember that the costs on a boat go up with the length. Moorage, docking, storage, and maintenance-related fees are all generally charged per foot in some way. Also, the cost of the equipment, such as sails, running rigging, standing rigging, winches, also are generally higher, as larger boats have larger sails, rigs, and winches. Maintenance-related costs also generally go up with the size of the boat—power washing, hauling out, amount of paint needed, etc.
I'd echo everything SailingDog asks, good Qs. Buried in the post, he's not expecting to leave the Chesapeake. Lots of people are living aboard here, and if you stay out of the high-rent areas a slip for a boat in the low 30's can be <$3K - $4K/year. Offshore systems are part of what makes a boat expensive, and in this case he doesn't need SSB, alternate power sources, etc, or the durability of offshore-capable boats. For budget, might also consider older production boats in the 27-33 size range - Hunter, Catalina, Beneteau - light enough to be enjoyable sailing in the often wimpy winds we have here.
hmm... seems most of the ones I listed are bluewater capable boats.. good point Eryka. :D
One other point—maintenance costs can run about 10-15% of the purchase price of the boat, and more so if the boat is an older one...
Although it says the length of the Chesapeake in the post, I wouldn't assume that he will be on the Chesapeake until stated otherwise. Many people are familiar with the Chesapeake in terms of size, scope, and may use it as an example, especially if they live or grew up there. However, that may not be indicative of where her son lives/sails.
rmb -- sailingdog pretty well covered it - but don't forget about insurance -- you say he has a lot of experience so i assume he has a fair sailing resume that will help. but the farther south the higher the insurance -- real issue is were does he want to live.
chuck and soulmates
Ahh, yes, the insurance issue.
Generally, liveaboards need to have a more expensive policy than non-liveaboards. The liveaboard policies also act very much like homeowner's insurance, and generally have a personal liability section, that covers things like if your son's dog bites someone at the marina, that a non-liveaboard's policy would not cover.
Also, most marinas require a certain minimum liability coverage for any boats kept there. Usually it is $300,000 or so, at least from the marinas I looked at before putting my boat in the water. Without this, it is very unlikely that he will find a marina that will accept him.
I would also go for a full-yatch type marine insurance policy, rather than a consumer boat policy. One of the primary differences is that a yatch policy is usually all-risk and provides agreed value coverage, rather than actual cash value coverage. On an older boat this isn't as much of an issue, but on a newer one, or one that is being upgraded, it can make a huge difference.
For instance, if your son installs a new GPS Chartplotter. Under an Agreed Value policy, if the Chartplotter is stolen, it will be replaced for full value, less any deductible. In many yatch policies, you can get a rider to give you a lower deductible on electronics or personal possesions. Under a consumer-type boat policy, it would be replaced for the ACV, which is usually significantly less than the replacement cost, minus any deductible.
But, once again, you really need to have your son check the specifics of any insurance policy he gets.
One other point. If your son has never owned a sailboat before, it may be difficult for him to get insurance coverage on vessels over 30' long. That has been an issue mentioned by other posters on this website, so it is something for him to keep in mind when deciding what boat to get. I specifically remember one poster saying that they had bought a 32' or 34' boat and had a lot of trouble getting insurance, and if they had gone any larger, it would not have been possible. Also, they said that if they had gone less than 30', it would have been far easier to get insurance.
Having lived on a 25 foot folkboat when I was in my early 20's, I have concluded that, while it is possible to live on a small boat, it becomes much more difficult to maintain a something resembling a 'normal' life in smaller boats; as in not showing up at work or a date looking like a homeless person.
With all due respect to SailingDog, I disaree with much of what Sailingdog has proposed. Having lived on and sailed the Chesapeake for the past 23 years, the Chesapeake is a wonderful cruising ground that very much rewards boats that are good boats in lighter winds and boats with enough speed to have a reasonable range in a day. For that reason I suggest that he focus on sellecting a displacement range that is adequate to support a liveaboard lifestyle, and then look for boats that are on the long side for that displacement. I would suggest a displacement of minimally around 8400 lbs, with a displacement in the 10,000 to 11,000 lb. range. I would then suggest that that should translate to a 32 to 36 length.
To a great extent boat prices are set more by displacement and age rather than length. While it is true that some costs are related to the length of the boat, most of the costs listed in SailingDogs post (cost of the equipment, such as sails, running rigging, standing rigging, winches) are much more related to the displacement of the boat than its length, and if your son does most of his own maintenance, a lot of costs such as the cost of bottom painting, is more related to displacement than length.
Similarly, more and more marinas are renting slips by the slip length rather than boat length. But beyond that he would save a lot of money of he can find a private slip and private slips are almost always rented by the slip length rather than the boat length. (For example I typically rent my 35 foot slips for $100 per month, a more with liveaboard electricity whether the boat is 25 feet or 35 feet) In other words a few feet of length one way or another should not add significantly to his costs, but it will make his life aboard a lot more comfortable and his sailing experiences on the Bay a lot more enjoyable.
One last point, most double enders tend to be at the heavier end of the weight to length spectrum which would mean a whole lot more motoring to sailing here on the Bay. Also they typically offer significantly less usable space for their length than a transom boat.
I am suggesting the boats on the list of suggestions below with the intention that that each represents a reasonable balance between accomodations, build quality, cost and sailing ability, with individual boats biased one way or another.:
Beneteau First 305: These boats have a great layout down below and seem to have held up very well.
Bristol 34 (1970's): Good sailing comfortable boats all around.
Cal 34 (1960's through 1980's): These boats are everywhere. They sail well, have reasonably good construction and would be near the top of my list for what your son wants to do. You can find them for sale between $12,000 and $25,000 with the older better maintained ones selling for $15K or so.
Hunter 34 (early 1980's) I know that everyone pans Hunters but the 34 was a very nice sailing boat with good accommodations, a lot of nice features, and Hunters of that era were quite reasonably well built.
J-30: Probably not the best choice on this list in terms of accomodations, but these boats are quite common on the Chesapeake and offer the most fun sailing of any of the boats on this list.
Irwin Citation 34: This is at the more expensive end of the price range. My sense of these boats is that they are not as well as the Hunters, but you sometimes see these at a bargain price due to cosmetics and since they are generally more highly regarded than Hunters in the court of 'general wisdom', I would suggest in someways a fixer upper may be a better investment.
Pearson 323: These were designed as cruising boats and make a very good choice is light air sailing is a lower priority.
Pearson 30: Cheap and common as dirt on the Chesapeake. Good all around boats. Not terribly roomy but because many of them were raced one-design, you can often find them well maintained and upgraded at a bargain basement price.
Pearson 10M: While there are some design and construction details on these boats that drive me crazy, they can often be bought cheaply and are very nice boats all around.
Tartan 30: These are one of my favorite boats of this size, era and cost. They are quite common on the Chesapeake. I just recently looked at one that was in super condition, both in terms of maintenance and upgrades, that was priced extremely cheaply. I walked away thinking what a great boat.
Tartan 34 (1970's): Excellent all around Bay boats. I have aways loved these boats. You can find them priced all over the board, with lovingly restored versions selling for close to $30K but less pristine versions selling for a lot less. One downside, partially offset by the large cockpit, is that these boats do not have much room for a 34 footer.
Good luck
There are some costs that he may or may not have considered. Sails don't last forever, he'll need to pro-rate the price of replacements and think of that as an annual cost. And there's the bottom, he'll probably need to haul and paint at least once a year down there. The haul will cost, as will the paint.
Those kind of things can creep up on you. If he hasn't literally gone over a boat (any boat) and listed every item, along with the annual replacement/maintenance/"oops broke it" costs, etc...He may have missed significant dollars.
If you actually make a spreadsheet on the computer, and list prices starting with the asking price of the boat, what it needs, the cost of that, and the LABOR that it will take...you can get that surprise. Especially if you look at labor as a variable, i.e. what a yard would charge ($150/hour?) what you might do it in, and the time it would take if, like most boat projects, it gets harder as you get into it.<G> Whatever he can get paid for his labor elsewhere--that's a dollar figure to put into the budget.
Personally I don't think "liveaboard" is a way to "live cheap" any more, at least not in the US. It may be a way to make a BOAT AFFORDABLE, but unlike a house, the boat will devalue, so it is just shifting the rent to something that needs lots of maintenance. (But can be real fun on a nice day.<G>)
I think you guys are confusing the costs of 'boat ownership' with 'living aboard.' In that one could live aboard a hull docked at a marina and never go anywhere, such a boat wouldn't need an engine, sails, or even a mast, and would be so cheap to buy that depreciation wouldn't be a factor. (You might need to put some $ in tho, for example upgrading from an icebox to a refrig system, etc). OTOH, if he's buying a boat to enjoy sailing and investing in those systems anyway, the *incremental* cost of moving aboard and giving up the house is minimal -- maybe just the liveaboard utility fees at a marina -- instead of the cost of rent plus marina slip. Either of those two scenarios represents cheap 'living aboard.' The place where the best you do is break even, is get into sailing as a hobby for the first time, AND moving aboard.:)
BTW, Jeff H - speaking of living aboard cheaply, where are those $100/month boat slips you mentioned in your post? We can't find a mooring for less than that!
I think the OP is planning on living aboard, but sailing the boat a considerable deal, at least locally. So the costs of boat ownership are definitely an issue for him.
JeffH, I'd also be very interested in knowing where you're getting prices like that. That would work out to $1200 for a 30' boat, or a bit more for a 30' liveaboard. I can't find dockage that runs anything less than $80 a foot for the season, which works out to $2400 for the summer season, which runs from April 1, to October 1, and almost $350 a month.

Birch Bark, 50 x 40 cm
Birch Bark
The soft and flexible bark of the birch tree is also called birch leather. It contains essential oils with a natural preserving effect, which makes it ideal for making food containers. The leathery bark has traditionally been shaped to form vessels, shoes, backpacks, knife sheaths, mats and baskets using sewing and tucking techniques - a material with almost limitless possibilities. But it also has many technical and usage-related advantages. Birch bark is extremely durable, very light (380-550 kg/m³), fungistatic and bacteriostatic, water-repellent, highly moisture-resistant, slip-proof even when wet, easy-care, sustainable and ecologically produced. This birch bark is from Siberia. Central European bark is too thin for use in handicrafts.

Groundwater contamination and air pollution are among the environmental impacts some groups worry will come from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Fracking is a process that involves shooting water, sand and chemicals at high speed into rock to release the oil and gas within. Drillers have been eyeing the Monterey Shale in the Central Valley.
A bill on Governor Jerry Brown's desk would put new rules on fracking.
KQED's Mina Kim spoke with Sacramento Bureau Chief Scott Detrow, who has covered the practice for three years, and has been closely monitoring the legislation.
What would the bill do?
The biggest thing this bill does is provide information about what's going on. Drillers have been fracking in one way or another for years in California, but the state just doesn't have the information on where it's happening, how much water is being used, and what sorts of chemicals are being used. Beginning in 2015, drillers will be providing that information to the state before they drill when they apply for a special fracking permit, and then after the process is complete. That information would be posted to a public website.
If you live near a fracking site, under this legislation, you will receive notice before drillers begin fracking near your property. You'll be able to request a baseline water test, which essentially means that you'll get a reading on what your water quality is like before the drilling take place, so that if there's any problems after the fact you can say: "Look here's how things were before, here's how things are since drilling started, and I think drilling's to blame here." In a lot of other places where fracking is taking place that data simply wasn't available, so it was hard for people to prove that it was the drilling that screwed up the water quality.
The bill would be enforced through fines. Drillers can face up to a $25,000 fine for each specific violation they put in place, per day.
Why are some environmental groups upset about the bill?
Environmental groups in the state were pushing for a complete moratorium on fracking.
Why is the energy industry upset about the bill?
The Monterey Shale is difficult to drill in. It's broken up, and it's segmented due to all the seismic activity that happens in California. So drillers have found that the best way to get to this oil may not be fracking, but instead sending acid underground, essentially using it to melt down the rock so they can get to the oil. So, when the bill expanded to not just cover fracking, but to cover acidizing as well, drillers really pushed back. In their mind acidizing is just part of the drilling process that they've been going through for years.
What's next?
A spokesman for Governor Brown has said that Brown intends to sign the measure.
Note: Activists with Californians Against Fracking are planning on holding a protest in San Francisco Friday afternoon outside of Gov. Jerry Brown's meeting with Chinese officials, where a memorandum of understanding is being signed on an agreement to address climate change.


text: BRIDGEWATER, N.J. and DUBLIN, Oct. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Savient Pharma Ireland Limited, today announced that the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has completed its scientific assessment and has issued a positive opinion recommending approval of a marketing authorization in the European Union for KRYSTEXXA ® (pegloticase) for the treatment of severe debilitating chronic tophaceous gout in adult patients who may also have erosive joint involvement and who have failed to normalize serum uric acid with xanthine oxidase inhibitors at the maximum medically appropriate dose or for whom these medicines are contraindicated. This opinion will be transmitted to the European Commission, which has the authority for granting marketing authorisations in the EU. If such marketing authorization is granted, KRYSTEXXA will address a significant unmet medical need for certain patients with refractory chronic gout (RCG) in the European Union. "This is a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to advance care for patients who suffer from this burdensome and debilitating disease. The CHMP's positive opinion marks an important step forward in addressing the significant unmet medical need that currently exists in Europe; and we look forward to receiving the final decision from the European Commission," said Louis Ferrari, President and Chief Executive Officer of Savient. The positive CHMP opinion was based upon a detailed evaluation of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA), which included safety and efficacy data from Savient's two pivotal Phase III studies, and a long-term open label extension study of KRYSTEXXA, as well as non-clinical and chemistry, manufacturing and control information. ABOUT REFRACTORY CHRONIC GOUT Symptoms of gout are caused by the body's response to the presence of high uric acid levels which can lead to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissue, which form when uric acid levels in the blood are elevated (a condition called hyperuricemia). The longer hyperuricemia persists, the higher the risk of developing gout. Symptoms of gout may include painful flares, pain or swelling in the joints (known as "gouty arthritis") or deposits of uric acid crystals under the skin, called "tophi." Although most cases of gout can be controlled with conventional urate-lowering therapy, when uric acid levels remain high and symptoms persist despite treatment efforts, chronic gout may be defined as refractory. In cases of severe debilitating chronic tophaceous gout, these symptoms have a major influence on patient health-related quality of life due to the frequency and severity of episodes and the recurrent pain, and can also lead to disfigurement associated with this condition.

In March of this year, I posted a blog titled "Process Work v. Knowledge Work — The Emergence of Performance Management".
At the end of that blog post, I committed to commenting in much more detail on the topic of Performance Management and the role of predictive analytics in a future blog.
There are various labels applied to the current Performance Management market such as: Enterprise Performance Management [EPM], Corporate Performance Management [CPM] and Business Performance Management [BPM]. For clarity and simplicity sake, I am going to use the acronym "EPM" to represent the category going forward.
Two of the application leaders in the EPM market are Oracle and SAP and they define EPM accordingly:
Oracle. EPM applications are a "broad range of strategic and financial performance management processes …[sic] that drive profitable growth by delivering predictable results, improving transparency and compliance, and increasing business alignment."
SAP. "Enterprise performance management starts with aligning operational plans, budgets, and resources to strategic objectives. It involves providing every information worker with contextual access to data they need to make faster, wiser decisions.
While the goal may be for EPM to involve "every information worker", the reality is that EPM applications are primarily process-oriented and targeted to relatively small operations teams who are tasked with planning, modeling, budgeting and measuring the business. With few exceptions, EPM solutions are not designed for the Front Office LOB.
Directionally, though, applying Back Office-like performance management techniques to the Front Office to enable better business decisions by LOB is a tremendous opportunity. Using advanced mathematical modeling and statistical analysis with historical, current and forecast data rather than relying upon qualitative assessments just intuitively makes sense.
For example, here are some common business decisions that are typically made by individuals in the LOB using 'best guess' practices:
- Sales Rep – What is the price I should quote and negotiate that is most likely to be approved by the customer and simultaneously maximize revenue for my company and my commission check?
- Sales Manager – What forecast should I submit for my team based upon the current deals in the pipeline and the historical close rates of my sales reps?
- Marketing Manager – What is the best price for my product line based upon the overall market forecast?
- Customer Support Representative – How long should I remain on the phone with this customer to address their concern?
To better address these business issues, a new class of realtime, analytical applications that use predictive analytics and statistical modeling techniques are beginning to appear in the Front Office.
These solutions use the data created through business and market transactions (e.g. SAP, Oracle) and enable the LOB organization to make much better business decisions that align with overall corporate objectives. To distinguish these revenue-oriented applications from their Back Office EPM brethren, I apply the label "Revenue Performance Management" or RPM.
Below are six primary areas of difference between EPM and RPM application requirements.
F&A/IT v. Line of Business
In the Back Office, F&A and IT own the resources and make the decisions that affect how the company manages and reports the business. Traditionally, these organizations have the people with the technical skills, domain expertise to use development tools to configure and customize and manage the systems and applications, and the budgets they need to run business systems such as: accounting, order management, payroll, tax, etc.
In the Front Office, Line of Business managers are in charge but in many cases neither they nor their organizations have access to capital budgets nor the technical personnel and/or expertise required to design, deliver and manage the applications they need to run their organizations. For example, Front Office groups such as Marketing, although potentially responsible for millions of $ in demand generation investment, have for years had to rely upon arcane tools such as email/spreadsheets to manage their function.
Cost Centers v. Revenue Centers
In the Back Office, the primary objective is cost containment. Every business process is analyzed to identify and remove overhead. Once an optimal method is determined by F&A/IT for a corporate business process (e.g. Create Purchase Order and Secure Approvals), an "internal policy" is generated and a corporate-wide mandate issued to drive compliance. Few, if any, are allowed to deviate from the policy.
In contrast, the Front Office is primarily focused on revenue generation. Since most companies can't mandate revenue from their prospects/customers, they must incent the Front Office organization to identify and capture as much revenue as it possibly can. "Incentive Compensation" plans, bonuses, SPIFFs, etc. must be designed with the intent to find, secure, optimize and reward revenue production.
Static v. Dynamic
In the Back Office, every effort is made to stabilize business processes so that they don't change and generate unnecessary overhead and errors. In the Front Office, change is the operative word. Customers change. Competitors change. Markets change. Territories change. The Front Office of a company must be able to quickly adapt and adjust to change. To address this side of the organization, applications must be easy to implement and manage and be extremely flexible. Relying upon an over tasked or in the case of small companies, a non-existent, IT organization is a non-starter.
As I stated in a previous post, I believe the primary reason Salesforce.com has become so successful is that it was the first company to recognize that with "internet-based computing", the term used at the time, you could virtually eliminate IT. They pioneered the concept with SMBs and as their products have matured — enduring skeptics — they have gradually worked their way into the LOB organizations of large enterprises.
It is indisputable that Tom Siebel and Pat House, co-founders of Siebel Systems, identified and created what we now all know as the CRM market. However, Marc Benioff was shrewd enough to recognize that his delivery and business model was a better way to deliver CRM solutions to SMBs that have minimal IT support and LOBs inside larger companies who are tired of waiting on IT.
As described in Clayton Christensen's book "The Innovator's Dilemma", Salesforce.com may not have created the CRM market but its disruptive innovation has exploited it.
Realtime v. Batch
The Business Intelligence market emerged out of the requirement for operational teams to be able to use transactional data to generate better business insight. Where online transactional processing (OLTP) was optimized to enable applications to quickly capture and view transactions, for reporting and analysis a different database structure/format was required. This led to the formation of online analytical processing (OLAP) and formed the basis of the Business Intelligence market.
The EPM market emerged in the Back Office out of OLTP/OLAP applications as companies realized they needed new applications that enable them to better plan, model and set budget targets for the business.
In a similar way, the RPM market is emerging in the Front Office. However, there is one very big difference between EPM and RPM.
With EPM, applications are designed more often around batched data. While response time is important, if a report takes a while to run it may be inconvenient but it isn't usually catastrophic to the business. Not so, with RPM applications. Here, the interactions can be in realtime and application performance is always critical. For example, if a customer asks a sales rep a question on the phone, the sales rep needs to be able to reply quickly. He can't wait on the application .
Since the Front Office has few IT resources, RPM applications can't rely upon IT to configure, manage and maintain them. They must be highly flexible, configurable; they must be SaaS-based. Consequently, the database and analytical architecture for RPM applications must be completely different than their EPM counterparts.
Voluntary v. Involuntary
If you perform a Back Office and/or operations function it is likely you must use an application to accomplish many, if not all, aspects of your job. For example; processing payroll, generating a purchase order, configuring an order, identifying a performance issue on a network, doing an audit, etc. These all require you to engage with an application to accomplish your task.
In the Front Office, other than a few applications (e.g. email), you may only interact occasionally with an application to accomplish your functional objectives. As a result, it is critical that Front Office applications are easy to interact with and generate easy to identify advantages to the individual using them. Otherwise, they won't be used. RPM solutions, while needing to be quite sophisticated underneath, must have a very simple User Interface and must be able to be administered and managed by the Front Office organization on its own.
Subjective Data v. Objective Data
By far, here is what I believe is the biggest difference between the Back Office and the Front Office.
With relatively few exceptions, the Back Office is driven by objective data. A Purchase Order is either approved and signed or it isn't. An entry into the General Ledger has either been made or it hasn't. Revenue is either recognizable or it isn't. And, these decisions can be made at a relatively slower rate than the Front Office.
In contrast, the Front Office is largely driven by subjective data and the decisions must be made much more rapidly to respond to immediate customer and/or market demands. What should the sales forecast be? How many widgets should I build? Are my sales territories optimized to maximize revenue? Am I spending too much/little money on support? Today, the answers to these questions are determined largely by human judgment.
The CFO abhors "guesses" and wants to make decisions based purely upon facts. The CSO (Chief Sales Officer) lives in a world of ambiguity and must rely upon a series of educated guesses. If the CFO of a public company certifies the S-1 is correct and it isn't, she might go to jail. If the head of Sales gets the forecast wrong, she might lose her job but isn't likely to go to jail.
Therefore, the goal of RPM is to enable the Front Office to convert what has been primarily been subjective data into objective data so that the Back Office and the company overall can make better business decisions.
I have put my money where my mouth is with respect to Revenue Performance Management. I have made several investments to date in companies that have built realtime, analytically-based solutions targeted at the Front Office:
- Marketo (www.marketo.com)
- Cloud9Analytics (www.cloud9analytics.com)
- SignalDemand (www.signaldemand.com).
Each of these companies has designed and is currently delivering SaaS-based Revenue Performance Management solutions. Marketo, in fact, was the first to position itself as a Revenue Performance Management company. Each is using analytics to help LOB organizations make better business decisions by converting what has been highly subjective data into objective data.
My underlying going-in thesis is that the world doesn't necessarily need more transactional applications or business intelligence (reports/dashboards) for operational teams. Those markets are defined and owned by well-known incumbent brands.
The big market opportunity is in Revenue Performance Management; using applications that utilize data created by OLTP/OLAP that enable LOB organizations to make better decisions. By definition, these must be SaaS-based. Therefore, for the reasons I've discussed in previous blogs, it's not going to be the incumbent brands that can capitalize upon this opportunity.
Only time will tell if I am right.

NEW YORK – Kevin Garnett is stepping up on both ends o carry the Boston Celtics to a 45-39 halftime lead over the New York Knicks in Game 5. The Celtics, down 3-1 in the series, got off to the type of deflating start that has become synonymous with the phrase "second half" over the past week. But Brandon Bass hit all four of his shots and played good defense on Carmelo Anthony to get the Celtics back on top. But a quick turnaround due to some transition buckets and sharp perimeter passing got the Celtics to within two points by the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett dominated with variations of the pick and roll for seemingly the first time in the series. The Celtics "tightened up the screws" as Doc Rivers put it in his first quarter interview to close out the half, going on an 11-4 run after a Knicks timeout with five minutes left in the half.

SFDC Technical Support
A SFDC sales support person told me today that their Technical Support is "undergoing changes." She said they basically are no longer answering their Standard Support phones, but are instead only responding to CASES? Is this true? (I'm inclined to believe her because I call Technical Support six times today. They never answered their phones even after an extensive holding period.) Gee, I remember when Tech Support was their biggest selling feature.

When was the last time you saw a news organization share the details of its finances with the world?
Perhaps it was Sunday, December 1, when ecoRI News — the nonprofit hyper-local environmental news outlet headquartered at the Providence home of its (married) co-founders, Joanna Detz and Frank Carini — rolled out its "Most Epic Fund Drive Ever," with a goal of raising $20,000 by January 1.
The fundraising page has a ticker at the top tracking the drive's progress and a pitch for donations below that reads, in part, "In the past year, ecoRI News brought you more than 500 environmental news stories written by local reporters. We're keeping an eye on: the effects of climate change on our coastline; how federal regulations are effecting local farms; innovative plans for transportation and urban smart growth; the renewable-energy sector; people making a difference in our communities."
Along the side of the page are two pie charts: one breaking down the organization's $73,980 expenses so far for 2013 (82 percent went to "Reporting & Outreach Programs," with the rest earmarked for administrative costs and marketing); the other, labeling various sources for $79,002 in revenue, from grants, fundraisers, reader donations, advertising, consulting and coordinating services for green events, and ecoRI's recently-launched compost collection service ecoRI Earth. "Our annual budget is less than $90,000, only enough to ensure part-time wages for our staff," the page says. "Next year, we'd like to ramp up our coverage, shoot more video and produce more podcasts; but we can't do this without your help."
Carini, ecoRI News' executive editor, and Detz, the organization's executive director and chief web designer, were even more forthcoming with the Phoenix prior to the drive's launch. Transparency is "our obligation as a 501(c)(3)," Carini wrote in an email. True to that promise, he sent over copy of his business plan describing a "unique initiative that blends journalism with public outreach" and listing The Rhode Island Foundation, CVS Caremark, Blue State Coffee, Save The Bay, and the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals among ecoRI's many grantors and sponsors. Along with it came a report showing how, among other stats, ecoRI's page views per month rose from 22,056 to 45,602 between January and December of 2012. ecoRI programs manager Kevin Proft also sent a copy of ecoRI's recycling-themed "Slim Your Waste" PowerPoint presentation (sample quote: "The average RI household generated approximately 1900 pounds of trash in 2010"), and an accompanying list of 100 locations around the state — from All Saints Academy in Middletown to Whole Foods in Cranston — where the presentation was delivered.
Indeed, Carini and Detz were even open to discussing the uncomfortable question that's loomed since ecori.org went live in September of 2009: is the project sustainable?
The answer, in the environmental sense of the word, is an immediate and resounding "Yes." In just four years, ecoRI News has established itself as the go-to resource for anything vaguely environment-related in our tiny, coastal state where newsrooms are shrinking and sea levels are steadily rising. At ecori.org, you'll find everything from videos of elderly protestors being arrested at July's Brayton Point power plant protest in Somerset, Massachusetts, to advice on how to "Avoid Stank Breath, Naturally," to stats about Providence bicycle crashes in recent years, to a deep-dive analysis into the fact that 60 percent of the watershed for Narragansett Bay — Rhode Island's signature body of water — actually falls within Massachusetts state lines.
This past month, when Alex and Ani CEO Carolyn Rafaelian made headlines for signing a state funding request for a solar panel project at her Newport mansion ("She said she must have signed the letter on a day when she had hundreds of documents and checks before her," the Providence Journal reported), it was ecoRI staff writer Tim Faulkner who first broke the story. Reporting on RIEDC alternative-energy grant recipients in a November 4 article, Faulkner matter-of-factly noted, "A request for $18,504 for an 18-kilowatt solar array at Belcourt Castle in Newport was deferred until the EDC's November meeting . . . Belcourt Castle is owned by Carolyn Rafaelian, founder of Alex and Ani jewelry." Rhode Island Public Radio news director Catherine Welch later tweeted an account of how the story progressed: "ecoRI had it first, then I ran it, then ABC6 ran an item, then Patch jumped on, then Projo jumped on it and got comment."
And this doesn't even begin to describe ecoRI's outreach arm, which, aside from the compost collection program and "Slim Your Waste" tour, has produced post-holiday take-backs for pumpkins, turkey carcasses, and Christmas trees, and worked at local road races to make sure that water bottles and other race waste are properly disposed and recycled.
So, when Carini and Detz discuss ecoRI's sustainability as an issue they haven't fully solved, they're not talking about "going green"; they're talking about financial survival. When he first left his post as city editor at the Newport Daily News and drew up the business plan for a new project, Carini says he envisioned an organization that could bring in $250,000 annually and employ six full time staffers. He has since tempered those ambitions. "Now, I'm thinking we can do it with $150,000 a year," he says. But even that sum is around twice what ecoRI currently brings in. Right now, divvied up between four main staffers — Carini, Detz, Faulkner, and Proft — plus freelancers, ecoRI's revenues fall short of a living wage.
Indeed, despite how much fun the staffers say they're having; despite high-profile testimonials about the work they do ("I read ecoRI on a regular basis and appreciate its commitment to covering important environmental issues in our state," Senator Sheldon Whitehouse tells us); despite watching the numbers of readers and advertisers steadily rise; Carini says that if revenues level off at $80,000 in the upcoming year, they'll probably have to make some major decisions.
In other words, 2014 seems likely to bring an answer to whether a model like ecoRI's can succeed in the Ocean State — or anywhere else.
ecoRI isn't completely alone in allowing readers to browse internal financial numbers once they've finished reading headlines. At the web home of Voice of San Diego — the self-described "member-based nonprofit investigative news organization that gives concerned citizens the tools they need to engage in important conversations about their community" founded in the mid-2000s by a longtime columnist/editor who had been summarily laid off from San Diego's daily newspaper — visitors can click links to IRS 990 forms detailing exactly how much the organization spends on laptops, scanners, phone lines, office chairs, digital cameras, and everything else necessary to fulfill the mission stated on the form's first page: "ON-LINE NEWSPAPER OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY TO EDUCATE AND INFORM RESIDENTS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY." Carini and Detz have looked at Voice as somewhat of model, they say. They also point to the Seattle-based Grist, the feisty, eco-focused outlet founded in 1999 that calls itself "A Beacon In the Smog," as a source of inspiration.

While his immediate focus is on this weekend's international Twenty20 fixtures, left-arm orthodox spinner Xavier Doherty spoke of his desire to return to the Test fold after Australia's 32-run ODI win over Sri Lanka in Hobart on Wednesday.
Doherty took three early wickets to propel Australia towards the win, the result helping the home side claim a 2-2 series draw and signalling a return to form after three poor performances had put them at risk of losing a second home series to Sri Lanka since 2010.
"Being in this team now and taking a few wickets is keeping my name up there," he said when asked about his Test prospects.
"I'd certainly love to play again in the Test team. I wasn't that rapt with the way it all went and would love another chance to make an impact there."
Doherty played two Tests during the 2010/11 Ashes series and, despite being overlooked for further Test honours, has cemented a place in the international limited-overs arena with 41 ODIs and eight T20 appearances to his name.
He believes his game has improved in the interim and puts much of the credit down to hard work and an element of soul searching after that first brief taste of Test cricket.
"I think I'm a better bowler than I was when I played Test cricket two years ago and at 30 still quite young as far as an international player goes," Doherty said.
"I think I've got plenty to learn and I definitely think I can play a part if that's the way things go.
"It was very disappointing (to be dropped from the Test team) but going back over it, it was a great opportunity and I think where you learn your most is in your disappointments and your failures, so I certainly took a lot out of it."
Due to a series of seam-friendly pitches in Hobart and the mid-season Big Bash League break, Doherty said he had not bowled as much as he would have liked in Shield cricket this season.
But he was bullish about his prospects should he be taken to India for the upcoming Test series.
"I think I've bowled 50 overs in five Shield games, which is not ideal, but the way I bowled last year in Shield cricket, up until the one-day series and Big Bash, I was pretty pleased with that," Doherty said.
"As far as four-day cricket goes I've come quite a way.
"There's no doubt I'm probably spinning the ball more and have got better control. As a spinner, that's something that comes with a bit of age."
The performance of left-arm tweaker Monty Panesar in England's recent series win over India has given Doherty some encouragement and further whetted his appetite for a Test recall in the subcontinent.
"I think it's a great place to play cricket and as a spinner you get plenty of assistance there," he said.

The fourth annual Dempsey Challenge gets under way in Lewiston Saturday with walking and running events to raise money for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. More than 1,400 bicyclists will take part in Sunday's fundraising bicycle rides through central Maine ranging from 10 to 100 miles. Dempsey, who was born in Lewiston and grew up in nearby Turner and Buckfield, was inspired to launch the fundraiser under his name because of his 77-year-old mother's battles with ovarian cancer over the years. Last year's event raised more than $1 million.

unfinished basement
Hello, I am new to this forum and electrical work as well. I am planning on finishing a basement bedroom. I am going to be able to take my time and am in no hurry to rush the project. All I want to do is add some outlets to the room for lamps, alarm clocks, etc...
The room is currently wired with one light and one switch. On the same circuit are three other lights and switches.
I want to wire in six outlets for the room. I was wondering can I wire off of the 14-3 wire going to the light or off of the 14-2 wire going from the light to the switch?
Also I will be going to the hardware store to purchase wire for the project. Should I purchase 12-2 or 14-2. The circuit box states that the circuit is 120 volt.
If you are taking your time, why not try and figure a way to run a new circuit over to the bedroom. It may come in handy especially if you need an electric heater downstairs. Just be sure and not bury any splices. Good luck! Oh, 14-2 should do you.
I also recommend going with a new circuit if possible.
If you can't you will have to tie into the 14-3 at the light. The 14-2 is probably what we call the switch leg, power goes down on the white wire and comes back on the black.
brackh, you will also want to think about picking up a book about electrical. You can get alot of great info from books like "Wiring Simplified".
Also, the bedroom is required to have an "arc fault" breaker as well.
I also think you should run a new circuit.
Thanks for the help everyone. The box has three empty slots left. So I can plan on putting the outlets on a seperate circuit. I plan on having the work inspected by the county that I live in. I don't want to take any chances on the safety of the home.
I have bought and checked out several books from the library on the work I am going to be doing.
Would it be realistic to run all of the wiring and then have an electrician come in and complete the work by installing a new circuit and connecting it?
I don't think you'll find a good electrician that will work that way. However good you think you wired it, I would never pull a permit for a homeowners work. You will have boxes set at the wrong depth, box fill violations, romex stapled too far from the boxes, three ways with only 12-2 between them, and so on and so on ...............
It's much faster and cheaper to have an electrician do the whole job instead of doing his job and redoing your work besides.
New circuits. I suppose you can run the new light off the old circuit with the other existing light, but definitly not the outlets as they should be on their own circuit anyway.
If you are going to run a new circuit you should consider 12/2 wire and a 20 amp breaker if you have any concern that you might want to augment the heat. That way if you find that you want to run a portable 2000 watt electric baseboard heater you won't be undersized.
Oh and be sure you have a legal egress window in the room before you put money into trying to make a basement room a bedroom.
So is there no black and white answer on the 14-2 or 12-2 wiring?
I have decided to go ahead with adding the new circuit to the breaker box. I have started my research on doing this work now.
If I am correct I will need to use the same (either 14 or 12) to run from the breaker to the first outlet? But it will need to be 14-3 or 12-3. Right?
You can run either 12 or 14AWG... it is your prefrence.
You do NOT need to run xx/3 to the first outlet, xx/2 will be just fine.
You need to have a switched light or a switched outlet for a light (I am pretty sure you mentioned there is already a light, right?)
The breaker for your new circuit HAS to be Arc-Fault (AFCI).
I always forget that because were I am we ARE required...

Read more about the candidates for Oak Creek Town Board here.
Election information
The Oak Creek Town Board election is Tuesday. Everybody who requested a permanent mail-in ballot during the last election already should have received one. Those ballots must be turned in by 7 p.m. Tuesday to Oak Creek Town Hall. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Town Hall. Voters must bring a driver's license or photo ID. The last day to register to vote was March 8. For more information, call Town Hall at 736-2422.
The way to spur the Oak Creek economy is right under the nose of local businesses, Oak Creek Town Board candidate Dawn Smith said. In order to boost revenues in the town, retailers and the town should find ways to keep the money of South Routt County residents in South Routt.
Smith is one of five candidates running for four open Town Board trustee positions. The top three vote-getters will win four-year terms, and the fourth-highest vote-getter will win a two-year term. Mayoral candidate Nikki Knoebel is running unopposed. The election is Tuesday.
"I'm not even looking to pull people out of Steamboat (Springs) or have tourism-driven stuff," Smith said. "I would like to focus on having the people who live in South Routt spend their money in South Routt as often as possible."
Oftentimes, residents and visitors to the Stagecoach area go to Steamboat for supplies or to spend a night at a hotel, Smith said, but keeping them in Oak Creek would bolster the town's economy.
"I feel like we could do more to bring at least a portion of those people toward Oak Creek. We have excellent businesses in Oak Creek," she said. "Our thrift store ... it's the best thrift store in Routt County, and our coffee shop is fantastic."
She said many local restaurants also are standouts and that if South Routt residents started turning toward them more, there's no reason they wouldn't thrive.
"Fortunes is a restaurant that should be busy every single day with the product they're putting out. Their product is fantastic," Smith said.
One way to drum up business would be to create business-to-business coupons, she said, or a deal where if residents spent a certain amount of money at local businesses, they would get a discount on water, sewer or trash bills.
"I would not be opposed to town-subsidized advertising," she said.
Smith was appointed to the Oak Creek Town Board in November to replace Dave Fisher, who resigned. Since then, she has been a part of the Town Board's policing and medical marijuana discussions, two hot topics. Smith said she thinks the town is heading in the right direction on both issues.
"I think the way we handled (the first medical marijuana dispensary) was good. I feel like we have written our ordinance, and it's extremely complete," Smith said. "It's a very comprehensive ordinance."
Similarly, Smith said the town's new and only police officer, Lance Dunaway, is doing a good job and is a good fit for the town, a sentiment echoed by other candidates. Smith said that between Dunaway and summertime officer Eileen Rossi, the police force is doing well.
"I really, really like the direction our police force is heading in," she said. "I think both Lance and Eileen are incredibly capable people in the job, and I feel really comfortable having them there."

Rockaway, The Forgotten Place
Dear Editor,
This letter is in response to your article, "City Addresses Rockaway In New Waterfront Plan" (March 18, 2011; Page 8).
Yippee, the City of New York wants to revitalize Rockaway's waterfront as part of its Vision 2020 plan (I suppose they can see clearly now). Residents and visitors can look forward to much needed repairs, improved beach access, recreation, and transportation options, enhanced subway systems, restored wetlands and JOBS. The revitalization would attract investors, business owners, homebuyers, and visitors.
The Rockaways were once known as a luxurious beachfront locale with summer bungalows, grand hotels, an amusement park, theatre and other attractions. Subsequently, the City virtually abandoned the Rockaways in the 1960s and deemed it an urban renewal area. I suppose this Vision 2020 plan is the City's way of saying sorry to the Rockaways. I hear the City saying to the Rockaways, we didn't know your worth before, but now we can make money from you so we'll fix you up.
If this type of investment (Vision 2020) had taken place years ago, perhaps this widespread plan would not be necessary. The City sees the waterways as its sixth borough however; the Rockaways already seemed to have that name. On the other hand, the Rockaways are better known as the forgotten place. I am certain the City will also find a way for Rockaway residents to pay for the City's blunder. Thanks!!!

Darblet DVP 5000 Video Processor Review
The Darblet DVP 5000 is a very small box that is placed in the HMDI signal path between the video source and the video projector. The case of the Darblet is a dark tinted semi-transparent plastic. A typical installation would have the AVR's HDMI output connected to the Darblet DVP 500's HDMI input and the HDMI output from the DVP 5000 connected to the video projector.
The DVP 5000 has a minimal front panel, measuring approx. 4 inches wide by 0.75 inches high, with 4 very small buttons to select Power, Up, Down, and Menu. Also the front panel has the IR receiver for the unit's remote control as well as LEDs to indicate power and the presence of a HDMI signal. Normally the supplied remote control will be used to configure the Darblet's settings and to turn the unit on and off. The Darblet can also be controlled by most programmable or learning remote controls, such as the Harmony(TM) remotes produced by Logitech.
The Darblet DMP 5000 has a single HDMI input located on the right side of the unit and a single HDMI output located on the left side of the unit. The power cable, from the supplied wall transformer, plugs into the right of the unit. There are no connectors or controls on the rear of the unit.
Setup & Menus
The setup of the Darblet DVP 5000 is fairly straight-forward.
Connections – An high speed HDMI cable is run to the Darblet's input from the video "source". In most cases the "source" will be the HDMI output of an AV Receiver or HDMI switch (so that the Darblet can be used with all of the video sources in your system). The Darblet's HDMI ouput is typically connected via a high speed HDMI cable to the video projector. The only other connection is to the supplied power transformer.
Darblet Setup/Menus – The Darblet DVP 5000 has a fairly intuitive and simple menu structure that requires just few minutes to set up the unit. The supplied remote control includes a menu button that gets things started with the on-screen display of the Darblet's Main Menu, first image below.
Since the primary use in a home theater system will be for use in viewing TV and movies, I used the "Mode 1. HiDef" mode during my review of the Darblet.
The Settings menu (second image below) offers the selection of a few items that generally you will set one time then never need to set again (such an the menu language). One rather unique feature is a demo mode that produces a split screen display with a portion of the enhanced image displayed on the right side of the screen and the original image displayed on the left side. This provide a useful means of demonstrating the effectiveness of the image enhancements that are being applied.

Sears Home Services Review:
If you want to fix stuffs in your house, which brand will you have in mind? Maybe Sears Home Services is one of them. It is a multinational department store chain, which headquartered in America. Today, it is the fourth-largest department store company in USA by retail sales.
Technicians in Sears are friendly enough and knowledgeable. Usually, they can find out courteously what I thought was the problem was not, fix it for me easily, and then tell me how to avoid it happening again.
You should make an appointment online if you want to have your product repair quickly. Then you will receive a confirmation call and a call half an hour before the tech come in the day of the appointment. Just try them out.

This module extends Profile 2 by allowing administrators to create privacy levels as predefined groups or sets of profile fields on a per role basis. Users can then select from among the privacy levels to apply access control to their profile.
Installation & Configuration
You must configure this module! Failing to configure this module will result in inaccessible user profiles. In order to protect user privacy, profiles created prior to enabling this module will have strict access control (i.e. be inaccessible), until the user updates the setting.
- Go to http://example.com/admin/modules and enable the Profile2 Privacy module.
- Go to http://example.com/admin/config/people/profile_privacy and add a profile privacy level.
- Give your privacy level a title and description. Both of these fields are displayed to profile owners to help them determine with privacy level to select.
- For each role, select the profile fields that are visible to users in that role, when the profile owner has selected this role. For example, if you created an "authenticated users only" privacy level, you might set the anonymous role to view first and last name fields, the authenticated role to see first name, last name and contact fields, and an admin role to see all fields.
- Once you've created and configured your privacy levels, go to http://example.com/admin/structure/profiles and click the manage fields next to the appropriate profile type
- Add a privacy field by selecting the "Profile Privacy" field type
