Worth buying this product.
Good quality product. Very easy to use and unique. For the first time I'm seeing this.
It is a good HRM for the price , good after sales service provided by Decathilon. Have been using close to 2 yrs ,I guess the transmitter in the chest strap has poor water protection,the back cover does not
close properly .The stop watch function is not clear ,after starting it
can not be stopped with any obvious combination of buttons.
For a senior citizen (70+) it is an useful aide to track level of exercise.
Ease of use and alarms -bpm out of range.
poor documentation and possibly lax supervsion.
I have a very expensive Heart Rate watch, as I run ultra-marathons and train using heart rate. I wanted something more simple, and less expensive, for my girlfriend - she wanted to train to heat rate, but didn't need any other complex data fields or GPS. This was perfect - easy to use, large numbers and slim fit. It seems accurate and is certainly good value for money.
I've had problems getting Heart Rate Monitors to link to my mobile/smartwatch via Bluetooth, so thought I'd try this low-tech alternative instead.
This is very easy to use, with no set up required, beyond putting the battery in the HRM!. To use, simply strap on the HRM belt and press the coloured button on the watch. The watch picks up the HRM reading automatically. I use this for long distance running - training and races, and it's worked well.
So if you just need to know your current heart rate this is for you. If you want to record your heart rate history and download this to a computer then you'll need to look elsewhere.
I was dubious that something so reasonably priced could work so well, but delighted that it does!
The instructions state that one must follow the intuitive onscreen guide. Complete rubbish !
The instructions cannot be followed.
There are not even instructions on this company site
Thankfully its cheap enough to throw away which is what I will do and I suggest others do not buy it until proper instructions for use are available on this site.
Nothing as it does not work
Instructions impossible to follow
Hi Tim,
I'm sorry that the instructions for setting up the OnRhythm110 Heart Rate Monitor are not clear.
Here are the instructions and some videos:
If you are still having trouble I can ask one of our product trainers to get in touch and talk you through the set up and use.
Please don't throw away - as the product is covered by our 365 day "satisfied or satisfied" guarantee then you are welcome to return your HRM for a full refund.
Kind regards,
David Daker Commercial Director DECATHLON
very cheap
not much
Took quite a while and much cursing of Decathlon to get it to read my pulse - but then it all clicked in place when I saw the rain drop symbol on the back of the chest pad - make sure the strap is wetted each side of the main pad, just as the diagram on the back shows. Think this should be made much clearer in the instructions as this seems to be the main problem when trying to get a reading
not too difficult to use
Slightly fiddly at first to get used to
I tried for half hour to measure my heart rate and it was displayed only one time. I run on a running machine and my heart rate was going high enough but still not picked up.
has good display
heart rate not picked up. difficult instructions,
Hi Dan,
I have checked with the product manager and he has made me aware that when using the OnRhythm110 Heart Rate Monitor it can be effected by other products giving off electromagnetic waves. This could include mobile phones or possibly on the running machine if that was also transmitting information.
If for any reason it does not work in a more isolated environment you are more than welcome to return the product to a Decathlon store. If you often run on treadmills a coded HRM could help as these are less likely to be have interference from other sources.
Kind regards,
David Daker Commercial Director DECATHLON
Clear screen, easy to use, nice big buttons with good tactile feedback. Picks up my heart rate straight away every time, and the chest strap part still works fine after an accidental trip round the washing machine - impressive.
No GPS, pace counter etc but you wouldn't expect that for the price. Only downside - possibly wish I'd spent a bit more to get one that stores laptimes.
Cheap and functional, great watch for the price.

A welcome series is just what it sounds like. A series of email messages sent to welcome new users to your list and, more importantly, to turn these free subscribers into entities that achieve your business goals for them. This could be via direct sale, increased email or website page views (if you have a cost-per-impression ad model), or something else.
New users are a critical part of your list. They tend to have much higher open and click-through rates than people that have been on your list a while (see my case study showcasing this), so you want to leverage their interest in your email program before it wanes.
Welcome series are a flavor of drip campaign. Named for drip irrigation, the idea is to slowly present and build on your message over time, rather than doing a one-time "soaking" and hoping for the best. We're not talking about sending the same message over and over again (that would be a "resend") – we're talking about a series of different messages that each work on their own but that create synergy when two or more are viewed by the same person.
When you're looking to develop a drip campaign, it's important to focus on the content. Many organizations get all wrapped up in the logistics, which is typically easier but won't ensure that your campaign is effective.
Here's an example. When we start talking about a drip campaign, the first things clients and prospective clients talk about are a) the number of email efforts and b) the timing between them. Most want to know how many efforts, how many days apart, will optimize performance (usually they mean "generate the most revenue").
The problem is that there's not a one-size-fits-all answer.
In order to develop an effective drip campaign, you start by focusing on the content you have to present.
For ease, let's assume you're looking to make a direct sale.
I'd start by identifying the top selling items on your website; these have a high likelihood of appealing to your email subscribers. Next think about anything that's not a top product but which, for some other reason, would be desired by your email audience.
Now look at non-promotional information that you can "wrap around" your product offerings to create an email message that provides value without a purchase.
Why, when your goal is a direct sale, would you be looking for information that's related to the product or the problem it solves, but that isn't promotional?
Because the best welcome series are a mix of editorial (read: non-promotional) and promotional content. Think of it as the "magazine" model; you buy a magazine for the articles, but within that there is advertising that gets you to buy.
Here are a few examples:
- You're selling golf aids. Write an article about improving your golf swing with tips on placement of your elbows, forearms, etc. This information is valuable without a purchase. Also include marketing copy on a golf aid you sell that helps people achieve this perfect placement.
- You're selling accounting systems for small businesses. The editorial content could be five common mistakes that small businesses make with their accounting and how to avoid them. The marketing copy would talk about your product, and how the "fixes" to these mistakes are baked in, so your clients don't make them.
The key to a successful welcome series isn't how many efforts or how many days apart you send it. It's the content of the message and how effective it is at driving readers to the action that you want them to take.
Take a few minutes to sketch out some good topic-product combinations that your business could use in a welcome series. Then put one in place and see how it boosts your bottom line.
Until next time,

Now that the city has purchased 652 acres of foreclosed land, many people are asking what's next.
Perhaps none more so than those on Pine Island, who are especially concerned about the land Cape Coral got with its $13 million bid and what the city has in store for them.
Among the properties purchased were the "little islands" in the northwest corner and the waterfront land on Matlacha Isles adjacent to State Road 78 on the north side.
While any decision is still many months in the distance, Pine Islanders are afraid the Cape could sell the land to a developer which then could turn pristine, environmentally sensitive areas into high rises.
Cape Coral Councilmember Derrick Donnell did not discount the fears but said they are very premature at best.
"Anything that happens in your neighborhood isn't unfounded. We have no plans as we speak," Donnell said. "They are premature about worrying. At this juncture, there are no worries about anything to the negative. Stay tuned."
City spokesperson Connie Barron said it's too early in the ballgame to say what will become of the properties.
"We have no idea what the use will be. We've owned the property for three weeks," Barron said. "It will take six to 12 months to inspect all the properties and see what the potential uses will be."
But one Pine Island resident, Phil Buchanan, an environmentalist, is worried the city might sell the "Matlacha property" to a developer who then could turn them into high-rises and shopping centers.
"This is prime real estate. It's not made for wastewater," Buchanan said. "It should be used as waterfront."
The city funded the land purchase primarily with capital improvement money designated for utility expansion and stormwater retention. With the city's Utility Expansion Project set to restart, city officials said they could save money by buying at foreclosure rates rather than going the eminent domain route, which requires the city pay market value for any sites needed for infrastructure.
Buchanan, although not too concerned with the "little islands," is concerned with what he called Cape Coral's "annex" of Pine Island and Matlacha.
"The Cape is threatening to annex all or parts of Pine Island," Buchanan said. "They've already made an effort to annex Matlacha Isles."
Barron said any speculation on what happens to the lands next is conjecture.
However, she added she wasn't sure the city would even find a high-rise to be a good use fit.
"The islands are on the spreader canal. They're not positioned on the Caloosahatchee or Charlotte Harbor," Barron said. "It's not a huge body of water. I'm not sure it would be a match.
"That's what the evaluation is designed to accomplish."
Since the purchase, the islands have been brought up as a possible place to send fishermen during the debate over fishing on city bridges.

How do I get started. Do I cast on all the stitches (36 for each sleeve) then attempt to slip half of each sleeve onto the other needle to begin the rounds. Can anyone help or direct me to a web page. I know how to do one sleeve, but not two at the same time.Thanks, DoubleD
Use google to find tutorials for knitting on two circulars. Many will be for knitting socks, but the same principles apply. I can think of two basic options: if you like to switch your two end stitches for a nice join, you will probably need to do that separately, on DPNs, magic loop, or another pair of circulars. Maybe a piece of scrap wool. Then put onto the circulars. If you don't care about that join, cast on first sleeve to on needle, put half the stitches onto other needle. Join as you like. Repeat for second sleeve. Use the tutorials.Sarah

Riverside, California: Police say a teacher has acknowledged she had a sexual relationship with a teenage student who confronted her years later over the phone and posted the conversation on YouTube.
In a court filing released in California on Tuesday, Detective Roberta Hopewell said 40-year-old Andrea Cardosa told Alhambra police she had a previous sexual relationship with the now-28-year-old woman who made the video.
The officers interviewed Ms Cardosa after the woman sent a link to the video to the principal of Alhambra High School, where Ms Cardosa was an assistant principal. Ms Cardosa resigned that day.
"During the interview, Cardosa admitted to having a sexual relationship with Jane Doe," Detective Hopewell wrote in the papers filed in Riverside County Superior Court seeking Ms Cardosa's arrest.
The declaration sheds additional light on the case that was spurred when the woman, who wants to be known only as Jamie, posted the video on January 17 on YouTube. Within days, the video of the telephone conversation she had with Ms Cardosa about the alleged abuse was seen nearly 1 million times.
In the video, Jamie phones Alhambra High School, where receptionists connect her to a woman who identifies herself as Ms Cardosa.
"You should be so ashamed and so disgusted with yourself," Jamie says.
"I am. I am," the woman says. "I regret it every day. Every day."
Jamie does not give specifics of the alleged abuse in the video.
Prosecutors charged Ms Cardosa with five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child and 11 other counts of abuse involving the youth and a second alleged victim who came forward after watching the video.
If convicted of the aggravated sexual assault charges, Ms Cardosa could face a life sentence, prosecutors said.
Her lawyer, Randy Collins, declined to comment on the allegations but said he would challenge the use of the video as evidence since state law requires parties to consent to being recorded.
"These are old, old allegations, and before we get into whether or not the evidence is going to be viable or credible when we get to court, we have to deal with whether this case should even be in court," he said.
The supervising deputy district attorney for Riverside County, John Henry, said he intends to use the video in court.
"Based on my view of the law, I think that there is a very good chance that a judge will find it admissible," he said.
Fifteen counts against Ms Cardosa stem from allegations of abuse between 1997 and 2001 involving the woman who posted the YouTube video.
The statute of limitations does not apply because the five aggravated sexual assault charges carry a life sentence and the other charges meet a handful of specific conditions, prosecutors said.
One count stems from accusations related to the second woman, named Brianna.

Center for Rural Pennsylvania announces hearings on Heroin use
State Senator Gene Yaw (R-23), Chairman of the Center for Rural Pennsylvania's Board of Directors, has announced three public hearings to be held across Pennsylvania to solicit testimony on the increased use of heroin and other opioids. Information from the hearings will be used to develop legislative policies that may help to curb the use of these dangerous narcotics impacting rural Pennsylvania.
The first hearing will take place on Wednesday, July 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Walnut Conference Room, Williamsport Regional Medical Center, 700 High Street, Williamsport, and will seek testimony from judicial, law enforcement, healthcare and education professionals.
"Right now we have a public health crisis facing rural Pennsylvania," Yaw said. "Although our focus is on heroin use in rural Pennsylvania, we know addiction has no municipal, county, or state boundaries. It is, across the board, a national epidemic impacting residents of every age, race, gender and socioeconomic background."
In Pennsylvania, the number of fatal heroin overdoses has been increasing. According to a 2014 report from the Pennsylvania State Coroners Association, there were 45 reported heroin deaths in 2009 and 124 reported heroin deaths by mid-2013.
"I do not believe that simply locking people behind bars is the answer. We need to do more. These hearings will identify what we need to be doing as state officials," Yaw added. "The primary question to be answered is what can the State Legislature do to help the fight?"
Fred Brason, CEO of Project Lazarus, will offer testimony at the Williamsport hearing on what rural communities and state government can do to respond to substance abuse and drug overdose issues. Project Lazarus is a nonprofit public health organization that was established in 2008 to respond to high drug overdose death rates in Wilkes County, North Carolina.
The remaining two public hearings have been scheduled for Tuesday, July 22 in Berks County and Tuesday, August 19 in Clarion County.
The Center for Rural Pennsylvania is a bipartisan, bicameral legislative research agency of the General Assembly.

text: Members of the Obama administration are in the middle of negotiating a new foreign trade agreement that could have a devastating impact on the U.S. shoe manufacturing industry. Monday in Norridgewock, the man on the front lines of those negotiations came face-to-face with the workers at New Balance who stand to lose their jobs depending on the outcome of the agreement. Michael Froman toured the facility, then met with workers and answered their questions along with Senator Angus King and Congressman Mike Michaud.The major issue with the Trans-Pacific Partnership is the tariff paid by countries like Vietnam that export shoes to the U.S. That fee keeps American companies like New Balance competitive with countries that have much more lax workplace regulations. If the tariff is reduced or eliminated, allowing foreign manufacturers to undercut companies like New Balance, it could cause the U.S. to become flooded with cheaper Vietnamese manufactured shoes which would be catastrophic to American shoe manufacturers."We respectfully ask Ambassador Froman and his team to recognize that making things in America is not easy. If it were there would be more of us than just us doing it," New Balance CEO Rob DeMartini said Monday.Senator Angus King invited Froman to Norridgewock to see the workers in action before continuing his negotiations. King said this isn't an issue about free trade but rather fair trade."I don't think that our companies should have to compete with companies around the world that don't follow the same rules that you have to follow here. whether their labor rules, hours rules, environmental rules," King said.The workers' message for the Obama administration was delivered by their CEO."We're asking the administration to do everything they can to focus on jobs in America not jobs in Asia," DeMartini said, receiving applause from his employees. Senator King described the negotiations as being "on the 15 yard line. We're just waiting for him (Froman) to get us over the goal line." But Froman couched that enthusiasm saying it's too early to say where the negotiations are heading."We're going to work to make sure, the best we can, that we're supporting domestic manufacturing, both in terms of leveling the playing field and raising standards around the world opening markets and addressing the tariff issues." Some workers at New Balance, like Oscar Brann who has been on the job for 13 years, say they're concerned they could lose their jobs."Very concerned," Brann said. "Look at Detroit. Look at other cities in the United States. It's not so much about New Balance, it's about the American worker. Look at the devastation all around the different cities. One of these factories close up, it's a whole town."The next rounds of negotiations are scheduled for late August. A decision is expected by the end of this year.

Phoebe Snow had one of the most distinctive voices in pop music. It went silent Tuesday morning, more than a year after Snow suffered a brain hemorrhage. She was 58.
Snow was 22 when "Poetry Man" reached the Top 10 in 1975. The song sounded like nothing else on the radio. It was refreshing and unusual to see someone embraced on the strength of her voice and songwriting alone — and not her looks. She was not the prefab concoction we've come to know as a pop princess, yet Snow soon graced the cover of Rolling Stone.
But she chose not to chase what seemed like certain fame and success — for very personal reasons. Not long after "Poetry Man" became a hit, Snow gave birth to a brain-damaged daughter. Snow's husband left her, and the songwriter decided to care for her daughter at home. She moved back to New Jersey, where she'd grown up.
Career took a back seat to parenting and care-giving, yet Snow continued to perform and record. Her final album, a concert recording, came out in 2008. Her daughter died the year before. Copyright 2011 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

In sweatshirt weather you can carry a Glock 26 or any similar sized gun just fine. Any of the small Kahrs.
In the summer you will find an LCP or SIG P238 almost irresistable. I have all three. I can always hide the LCP. Pretty much always hide the P238, but in the summer the G26 is too bulky and prints more than I'd like.
As a general all the time carry gun for someone with small hands and a small frame it's hard to beat the SIG P238. It is very pleasant to shoot, accurate, has excellent sights, works extremely well for fast follow up shots, has a good trigger, and mine has been as reliable as gravity. It's easy to carry IWB under an untucked T-shirt in a MiniTuck, or in the front pocket of loose fitting jeans, or in a cargo pocket in a flat front pocket holster. Or OWB under a sweatshirt in the SIG holster.
The LCP is slightly smaller, easier to hide, harder to shoot well, has almost non-existant sights, not fun to practice with. But you can always hide it if you want to, and mine has been reliable as gravity.

Greetings friends and fellow managers!
Just like we said in our last update this is a major update containing a bunch of new features, content, fixes, balancing, and more!
Since we are pushing so many changes to the game, all previous save games won't be compatible with this version of Epic Manager.
Although the game still contains some placeholders here and there, we are very happy to report that all the main features are now in place. This means we are putting the final touches to the game, gathering last minute feedback on any issues you guys report, and getting the game ready for its upcoming official release.
Let's jump right into it!
*NOTE* The following notes are by no means an exhaustive list of everything new in this massive patch, but rather a more concise keynote of the major changes.
Difficulty Settings
Here it is folks! By popular demand we created difficulty settings for Epic Manager. Now, newcomers wanting to familiarize themselves with the game, without having to worry too much, will be able to, while more advanced players will be strongly challenged by our Hard difficulty setting! Now, choose your destiny…
New Prestige Classes and Combat Skills
On top of the 16 Basic Classes already present in the game, we added 13 new Prestige Classes. You will have to experiment with different builds to find out exactly what career paths will open these opportunities, but the potential rewards are worth it! Will you be able to unlock the famous Shovel Knight, the sneaky Stalker, or the feared Bardbarian? Each of the 13 Prestige Classes can use 2 unique skills. That's 26 new skills added to the game on top of the 32 adventurer skills already there!
Adventurer Trading Block
After unlocking it in the Research Panel, players will now be able to trade adventurers with other agencies from their current league. Teams will have potential candidates on a trading block and a series of specific demands. Meet those demands to lower the cost of the transfer and build your dream team! Make sure to keep in good terms with your rivals to get the best deal possible.
Merchant - Alchemist
Two new merchants are now available to be unlocked in the Research Panel. The first one is the Alchemist. This weird fellow can help you add and remove traits for your favorite adventurers.
Merchant - Enchanter
The second new merchant is the Enchanter. This magic-wielding merchant can help you tweak the special effects of Kits and Accessories so your adventurers are always well geared when the rumble begins.
Skill Quests
To mix things up a bit, some Quests (about 10 to 15%) can now be resolved using a series of Skill Checks reminiscent of having a skill tested in a D&D campaign.
Ironman Mode
For those of you who don't find the game challenging enough, we added a new Ironman mode. With this option ticked from the beginning of your campaign, you will not be able to manually save your game. You are stuck with the consequences of each action, so tread carefully.
New Recruitment Campaigns
We created new campaigns and tweaked the existing ones so players could access the entire scope of character levels and Epicness easily. These campaigns will be unlocked as your Agency gains in levels.
New Enemy Race - Lizardmen
A new end game enemy race joins the fray! The lizardmen are here and they're a mean bunch of hard-hitting cold blooded killers!
New Unique Enemies
Meta races and human unique characters have been added throughout the game! Each one has a unique set of skills and with our new enemy AI, managers better be prepared!
Final Boss Fight
The bravest players who actually manage to finish first in the last leg of the game will be presented with a new challenge: an epic new final boss fight! Should you prevail against this unique foe, you'll be rewarded with the "real" ending which comments on your accomplishments during your campaign. Good luck!
New Random Encounters & Quests
As promised we created a bunch of new random encounters and a series of new storylines and miscellaneous quests to make sure there's enough content to cover the entire span of a campaign. In fact, it is impossible to see the entire content of the game within a single playthrough! In total, we added over a hundred new stories for you to discover.
Integrated user Created Content
Some Kickstarter backers had the opportunity to create some in-game content with us. It's with pleasure that we integrated unique adventurers, random encounters, quests, and more in collaboration with them. Their creations are now available for all to enjoy.
Game Balance Rehaul
All enemy race stats have been revised and the general game progression was revised. According to the feedback we gathered during the Early Access, we made the game progression faster and combat tighter. Let us know how the game feels for you in the comment section below.
Improved Enemy AI
Enemies will no longer be as passive as they tended to be before. Beware as changes we made to the AI strongly affect the deadliness of the combat.
Quest Simulation Balance
We made some changes to the balance of the combat simulation. We made sure there was always a chance to succeed or fail a simulated Quest. At the same time, we tweaked the simulation to better replicate success chances and added some feedback.
Faster Combat Animations
In order to make the general game feel faster we accelerated all combat animations and enemy reaction times. Over the span of an entire campaign, it ends up making a difference.
Added Combat Feedback
[*]New Combat Icons show Contextual Racial Traits, Landtype Traits, and God alignment Trait bonuses.
[*]Updated Combat Tooltips.
[*]Added Feedback when no legal target is available.
Multiple Minor Bug Fixes
We corrected a bunch of minor issues like animation clipping, dodged attacks still landing, HP and XP bar refresh rate, Kit sprites, tooltip issues on level up, portal destruction cost computation, different renegotiation fringe cases, negotiation chances shown VS what was under the hood, locked contract termination, stats effects calculation, Font and Text issues, UI fixes on different panels, fixed some broken random encounters, and many other minor things. If you see something that does not seem right, please leave us a comment and we'll happily look into it as soon as possible.
Multiple Typos Corrected
We went over our tables of random encounters, quests, and other text-heavy documents to purge the typos reported and those we could find during our multiple play-test sessions. Hopefully, we got them all, but feel free to let us know if you spot something we missed.
Remastered Soundtrack and SFXs
The hard-working guys at GeekSound Factory remastered most tracks from Epic Manager's soundtrack and pretty much all SFXs in the game. They're just awesome like that!
Multiple Visual Improvements
We went over multiple panels, basic adventurer classes, and other visual elements of the game during the last months to make everything look even more beautiful. We also created new hairstyles, beards, and skin tone variations for all adventurers of Astraeus.
In-Game Manual - Epicopedia
The in-game manual is still a work in progress. We are uncertain exactly what format it will take in the end, but most of the content is written for it. More on that later folks.
A small list of Cheat Codes
We added a "Cheat Code" button to the Main Menu of the game. We still have to implement the codes themselves so it's a bit of a tease, but the wait will not be long.
Upcoming Official Release
We will take a few days to see how you guys like the game with its latest balance and new features and to make sure nothing is broken. From there, if everything goes smoothly, the full release of the game should come pretty quickly. Of course, we will get back to you with detailed information and a date when things are settled.
As always, thank you all for taking the time to read this and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any comments, questions or feedback you might have. It's always a pleasure to hear from you!
Until next time friends,
- Best regards from the whole ManaVoid Dev Team

text: Sean, was wondering if after you get these together you could keep a running rounds fired count, and report any problems that might arise in the future. I will do same with my EP lower. The talk at the gunshops around here is plastic lowers are good for about 650 rnds before they fail. Any one else put several hundred thru a plastic lower AR? Would like to know your experiances. Thanks!

Premiere: Band Of Horses "Detlef Schrempf" from Acoustic At The Ryman
The new album from Band of Horses spans the group's career. Acoustic At The Ryman which is set for release on Feb 11 (and is now available for pre-order) was recorded at Nashville's fabled Ryman Auditorium last April. The group's Ryan Monroe maintains fond memories of the experience, as he reflects, "We were getting a bear hug from the audience the entire set, so we felt the love and were surprisingly comfortable on stage. It reminded me of jamming at one of our grandparents' houses. Maybe that's why we brought out the old lamps and tables. Maybe we should have had an old man snoring in a tan corduroy recliner, watching a barely audible Braves game on an old TV with tin foil wrapped around bunny ears behind us the whole show."
Today we offering the premiere of "Detlef Schrempf" from Acoustic At The Ryman. The band will hit the road in support of the new release, with the upcoming tour dates listed below.

Placed pup owner called singing pup's praise only to call 8 hours later demanding refund, says pup bit (?) neighbor...
I do guarantee my pups but other than one new owner who called destraught 5 days later wanting to return pup because she found A FLEA never had even a question as to a pups soundness. Back to this owner...I will be glad to get pup back... I obviously should have paid more attention to my gut. But having spent hours with interview, answering numerous questions and travel prior to placement and now more time to get pup back home... I do NOT think owner is due a full refund..... do you think I am out of line to be compensated for my time and aggrivation?

That owner is being pretty unreasonable, but I can understand why you want the puppy back.
I'm not sure of all the legal things here (and it may depend upon what was written in your contract as well), but as biting is usually a normal playful puppy behavior and the pup having a flea is not really your fault (sheesh, does she think health testing keeps fleas away?), I tenatively agree that she is not due a full refund.
What kind of guarantee do you have? Just asking, as a health guarantee that lasts only a few months is pretty useless, since health problems that have to do with a dog's genes sometimes don't show up until their senior years.

I can't imagine a young puppy really biting anybody unless mistreated.
On another site I read about a UK movement to require training for dog owners. Sounds like she needs it.
I hope you have a better home lined up.
Refund? Let her pay something for her stupidity.

You might want to pay the full price to get that pup back. The person who bought him/her sounds a bit unreasonable and you should just give a full refund and have the dog back in a safe environment. Sounds as if the person doesn't understand that puppies bite.
I hope you find a much better home for the pup.
Member 768404 answered on 7/21/09. Helpful? / 0
I believe a breeder's responsibility does not end at the sale of a puppy. It ends at the end of that dog's life. A breeder should allways be happy to take a pup back and give a refund, or take a full grown dog back in most cases. If you are breeding to make money, then you are doing it for the wrong reason. If you are a reputable breeder, you will do anything to place that pup in a good home. It makes me happy that you will be glad to get the pup back! As far as compensation, it really depends on your contract and policies discussed and signed with the customer prior to purchase. It isn't worth the hastle in a courtroom and spending all the time on paper work etc. I somehow know you will find a good home for the pup, and that is what matters most. Hopefully you will recover most or all of your losses when you re-sell the pup. Next time, follow your gut feelings. You just had a psycho customer this time around.

Joyce They don't even taste like mints.
Jean Wait till you get to the middle.
Joyce Is it soft at the middle then?
Jean Delicious, really.
Joyce And minty?
Jean More minty than last night's.
Joyce Which coat did they come from?
Jean That red one.
Joyce Ooh, lovely pattern on it.
Jean You should try it on.
Joyce I might after the interval.
Jean It's good someone's still wearing coats like that. [Pause] Shall we have another mint?
Joyce It passes the time, doesn't it?
Jean You know, I swear I won't go into some of these newer coats.
Joyce You don't know what you'll find.
Jean The pockets are full of rubbish.
Joyce And Skittles.
Jean I would never eat a Skittle.
Joyce You can tell a lot from someone's pockets.
Jean I once took Diana Riggs' coat - in her pocket was a packet of Polos.
Joyce That's an elegant mint.
Jean I ate three.
Joyce For an elegant woman.
Jean I don't think she even noticed.
Joyce That's the most famous coat we've had here.
Jean Except for the Lloyd Webber.
Joyce There was never a Lloyd Webber.
Jean You were off that night.
Joyce And you never mentioned it?
Jean You never asked.
Joyce That would've passed the time.
Jean I was almost scared to go in his pockets. It sat there all first half. I finally put my hand in. The pockets were deep and lined with strange fur. I could sense something at the bottom.
Joyce Out with it.
Jean It was a half-eaten HobNob.
Joyce Surely he'd finish it at least.
Jean I think he's gone downhill. I couldn't even watch Cats after that.
Joyce I won't believe it.
Jean And him being a life peer and everything. He could have finished it. [Pause] Fancy another mint?

Two days into the holiday road period, and the death toll stands at zero.
Police say there have been no fatal crashes so far this holiday weekend and are hoping that continues.
On Queen's Birthday weekend last year there were four crashes killing seven people, including two pedestrians.
According to Ministry of Transport statistics since 1980, the worst year was 1981 when 15 people died - the lowest toll was in 2011 when just one person was killed.
Police hope to beat that figure this weekend.
The holiday weekend finishes officially at 6am on Tuesday.

The man who is suing Harry Potter author JK Rowling and publishers Bloomsbury has been ordered by the High Court to pay £1.6m as security for costs or the claim will be struck out.
The move is indicative of a wider trend on the High Court bench, with judges being encouraged by their peers to take greater control of matters and put a stop to spiralling fees.
The alleged Harry Potter plagiarism matter is a case in point, with Chancery judge Mr Justice Kitchin taking a firm grip on the claim, which has hung around the courts since 2004.
Claimant Paul Allen is the client of DMH Stallard and the trustee of the estate of the late Adrian Jacobs, who died in 1997. It is alleged that in her fourth novel, Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire, defendant Joanne Murray, otherwise known as JK Rowling, plagiarised Jacob's novel Willy the Wizard.
In the latest hearing all parties opted to bring in junior barristers to represent them, unlike the strike-out hearing, in which they were represented by silks.
At the strike-out hearing in late July, the claimant's lawyer DMH Stallard partner Nicholas Kounoupias instructed Blackstone Chambers' Robert Howe QC, but at the subsequent conditional order hearing Howe was replaced with Hardwicke Buildings' Mark Engelman.
The defendants made similar moves. Reynolds Porter Chamber (RPC) instructed 3 Verulam Buildings Andrew Sutcliffe QC to represent first defendant Bloomsbury Publishing at the strike out. Meanwhile, Schillings partner Gideon Benaim instructed 8 New Square's John Baldwin QC for JK Rowling.
At the conditional order hearing it was the juniors turn to take the lead, with William Edwards of 3VB for Bloomsbury and 8 New Square's Adrian Speck instructed for JK Rowling.
The case has been fiercely fought and in October last year Kitchin J rejected the defendants' application for a summary judgment on the narrowest terms subject to a conditional order, which was handed down last month.
The judge has informed the claimant that in order for the claim to proceed to full trial he will need to put up 65 per cent of the defendants' total costs, and the first instalment of £894,304 should be handed over before 21 April.
According to the judgment the claimant "has made clear he has no connection with the dispute" and stated that in practice, the estate's literary agent David Markson and an Australian lawyer who acts for estate on a success fee basis, Kevin Foley, have been instructed the claimant lawyers.
The claimant insists he has no financial interest in the outcome of the matter, but, should he lose the battle, he would be liable for costs. It is unsurprising, then, that Benaim raised concerns that the claimant would not be able to pay any costs order made against him.
In support of the defendants' call for a security costs order, the defendant barristers argued that their opponents had shown a "want of good faith".
DMH inherited the case in March 2004 from Gibson Young, but no action was taken until 2008 when, in November, the firm instructed counsel. All went quiet for a further seven months and finally, on 15 June 2009, the particulars were filed with the High Court.
It took more than a year for the strike-out application to be heard and even after Kitchin had left only tiny pieces of the claim intact, the claimant continued to pursue matters that had already been struck out.
According to Kitchin J: "The combination of the delay in pursuing the claim, the complex and wide-ranging way it has been formulated, and the pursuit of aspects of the claim I have found to be unsustainable do demonstrate the lack of a will on the part of those behind this claim to prosecute it as expeditiously as possible in accordance with the overriding objective."
Yet, the defendants' lawyers' behaviour, said Kitchin J, could also be criticised. Originally the defendants both instructed RPC, but JK Rowling had since switched to Schillings and both defendants had instructed separate silks to lead the juniors in the strike-out hearing.
Kitchin J said: "The defendants' estimates do seem to me to include costs in respect of unduly large numbers of separate fee earners, excessive communications with clients, and unwarranted time for consideration of disclosure and preparing experts' reports."
Had the defence been more scrupulous in its spending Kitchin J could well be asking for a higher costs security from the claimant.
For Bloomsibury RPC presented estimated costs of £723,819. Schillings, meanwhile, is expected to present JK Rowling with a legal bill £1.6m.
Compare that the claimant costs of £800,00 to date, with a further £500,000 expected.
Kitchin J's attempt to make the merry-go-round case come to an appropriate end is admirable. Others sitting in the High Court should pay attention.

Totally possible to get different results. The likelihood is in the manual.

Hi all,
I run random effects logit model using both STATA and LIMDEP, but the
results are quite different. Does anyone have any idea what's the
likelihood function of random effects logit used in STATA program?
Sometimes differences are due to differences between algebraically equivalent parameterizations. How do the fits of the models compare? If they are different as well, I suspect you haven't specified equivalent models like you think you have. You might post the output from both.
In addition to Richard's suggestions, RE models need to deal with the computation of an integral, which implies (1) define the number of points to compute the quadrature and (2) get the integration method itself. This could explain the differences.
More important, no matter which method you will use you need to check
that the quadrature is accurate. This is recommended in the manuals for
all the RE model. I don't know about LIMDEP.

43 Nutrition Secrets Revealed HTML version
they don't want to put the time and energy into changing things.
It takes planning and time. Instead of visiting the fast food
restaurant on the corner on the way home you go to the produce
aisle in the grocery store. It might take you a little more time and
cost you a little more money but it's worth it.
You know the fast food restaurants super size everything. The
artists and executives that design the ads know that our
mentality is that the more food we can get for our buck, the
better we are going to like it. It wasn't so long ago that you
would go in and order a pop and you would get 8 oz or 12 oz and
now it's not uncommon to get 24 or 36oz because they super size
Tell me are there any specific foods that burn
No. Basically, if you want to burn fat or lose or maintain your
weight everything comes down to energy balance.

exterior door threshold
What is wrong with this picture? (Click the thumbnail please). It looks like the threshold was a hack job.
That is the edges of the engineered wood flooring that can be seen between the metal and the painted gray sill. This looks all wrong to me. Isn't the threshold supposed to be flashing-like? I doubt that a little caulking is going to fix this properly. The caulking will trap any water that might get in, right?
I would guess that some kind of weather-resistant wood or wood-like material should have gone on top of the old sill to bring it up to the level of the threshold. It seems like it should be painted before it is installed and then touched up. OTOH, maybe the correct and best way is to install a new, thicker sill.
I am just waving my hands here and I could really use some advice from experienced people.
Thanks for reading.
That is not a very good picture to "get the full picture". Any threshold should go completely under the door and have a flexible gasket across it to fit tight under the door. The threshold needs to be totally sealed underneath to keep weather and bugs out.
That threshold is installed incorrectly; it should be flush to the floor. (Please dont tell me that a professional installed it). Also you would require a door sweep as there is to much of a gap between the door and threshold.
I agree, I can not even tell what it's a picture of.
Back up, open the door so we can see what's there now.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I posted. I had given up hope. Here is some more information. I don't have a pic handy with the door open.
White: door
black: soft weatherstrip of the threshold
gold: metal part of threshold
brown:added wood under the threshold that I though was flooring
Gray: Recently-painted riginal door sill if "sill" is the right word
Mottled gray-green: concrete porch deck that I have not yet had time to paint.
I do have a wider shot if that helps.
I learned that the wood visible between the metal of the threshold and the gray sill is not flooring, but plywood. They expect to caulk it. It is nearly flush with the edge of the threshold.
Unfortunately, the sill does not slope much, if at all. I wonder if a new sill should have been installed. There is no gap between the threshold and door. The door had to be cut to make room for the new threshold. Note that the subfloor (plank) was replaced with plywood and brought up a little to match up with flooring in the rest of the house. This must have resulted in the need to raise the threshold with the added wood on top of the sill.
Thanks for responding.
#1 That porch never should have been pored that close to the threshold. code calls for at least 4".
The threshold should have been sitting in a sill pan or at least flashed correctly.
Thanks for your response. I had a lot of time to think about the sill clearance over the porch slab when painting the sills here and on the side door. They are similar. Although they have may have been that way for 60 years, who knows what changes or repairs have been made.
I had asked the flooring contractor to ask the carpenter to take a good look at the door to see if any improvements should be made. Either that message did not get through, or the carpenter did not care. I suppose the carpenter should have been called in before the floor was put down and I should have talked with him.
It is wrong for the subfloor to peek out below the door. The caulk will eventually fail, and water will wick into the house.
Thanks, I don't think that is subfloor, but I will inquire to be sure.

Okay so this is seriously cool. iwantmyTVNOW posted a video on YouTube that features Ke$ha's hit song Tik Tok mashed up with clips from the Back to the Future trilogy. It's actually a little eerie how well these two match up!
Watch the video after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments.
Seriously, that just made my day!

Regarding on how to create leagues and cups.
Hello people, how are you all?
Well, as the title says, I have few questions for you.
I'm going to re-create some leagues from Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador and maybe Ukraine, Egypt, China...
So, here is my first question: how to make a league like Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico?. I mean leagues with tournament/torneo apertura and clausura? Because leagues from Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador have the same format of those leagues that I mentioned above.
Second question: how to create a national cup and super cup from national leagues? Like Spain with "Copa del Rey" and super cup with winners from "La Liga" and "Copa del Rey"
Third question: how to force winnings teams to cups like "Copa Libertadores" or "UEFA League?
Thanks in advance.
Regards from Venezuela.

Going up
Platform wedges
At first we were afraid, we were petrified. But now we cannot live without them by our side
Small breasts
Once she bragged how they were 'small and humble'. Now Shakira admits they don't make her feel 'lucky'. Back to the Gossard, ladies
The key word for next season. But remember: short-sleeved jumpers over long-sleeved shirts, yes; dresses over trousers, no
Fabergé eggs
As referenced by Wintour Jr, Bee Schaffer, and, a little more obliquely, Kate Moss
Heads up: the best thing in next season's collections is a white bumbag muff with multicoloured Vuitton print. Fact!
Clutch bags for day
Not for the practically minded. But Miu Miu's oversized white version is fabulous in a Pam Ewing way
Going down
Sunglasses in your hair
Going down this summer, and every summer. Especially stupid when you're wearing a sparkly headband
Model haircuts
We've already discussed Maria Carla's bad hair day; now Stella Tennant has gone all Billy Idol on us
Heidi hair
Milkmaid up-dos were all the rage in Paris, from the Ingres exhibition to the Givenchy show. And they looked stupid every time
Jasmine di Milo
Miss Al Fayed's label. Proof that daddy's money really can't buy you style. But it can buy you a fashion show in Paris
Wool maxi dresses
Far too many designers think they're a good idea for next winter. They're not

Originally designed in 1982, the Stor-Loc® Modular Drawer
System was first manufactured in Switzerland. The initial design was
a composite of all of the best features available in the market at that
time. Back then, all manufacturers had a heavy duty modular drawer
system and most were fully mig welded and had thicker gauges of
steel. The original Stor-Loc® Cabinet introduced new features such
as full length handles and a safety Interloc System. The patented
Stor-Frame® System was also introduced with its unique combination
of heavy duty drawers and shelving to offer the user more flexibility.
Today, Stor-Loc® is the only manufacturer that adheres to its original
design characteristics such as all mig welded corners and Full Width
11 Gauge Fork Channels. Stor-Loc® is one of the few companies that
does not use nylon rollers in their support system. Only Steel Ball
Bearings and heat treated steel rollers are used providing consistent,
lifetime drawer performance. Simply put, Stor-Loc® Cabinets are made
the "Old Fashioned Way."
The original heavy duty version of the Modular Storage Drawer
Cabinet that was the norm in the industry until the early 1990s is
now available only from Stor-Loc®. We are proud to offer our customers
the most durable Modular Drawer Cabinet made in the world
today, complete with a unique 55 year Satisfaction Guarantee.
