Ripoff Report

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
When my husband left for a superbowl weekend in Vegas with the boys, his behavior made me suspicious that he was taking a girlfriend along. A quick search online led to a phone call to "Mate Check" and an affable male voice, Tom, assured me that one of the operatives could be at the hotel and could take pictures when my husband checked in.
I repeatedly told Tom I was concerned about the cost and did not want to incur a big expense. (I've been unemployed for awhile). Tom assured me that I would only be charged for time spent and that they have investigators located "everywhere" so travel costs would not be an issue. He sounded so sincere. Since what I was requesting was information about who was checking in with my husband, I concluded I could afford the $95 per hour fee. How long can it take to check in, right?
Two days later a report, without photos, arrived along with a bill for $950!!! It turns out the licensed investigator is in ARIZONA and she claims I never called off the investigation. I was billed for TWO investigators to hang out in the casino for 5 hours after my husband checked in to see if he came back downstairs.
When I wrote to Tom that there was clearly a misunderstanding in their billing department, I got a response that the misunderstanding was mine -- I signed a contract. I wrote again and then Tom left a message on my phone that included a stron tone of extortion when he said going to cour "will involve your husband so you might as well save yourself the time"
And now I learn from my husband's buddy that there was no one in the lobbywhen they checked in.!

GrowAnnex.com: Atami Rootbastic Root Stimulator Now Available
Grow Annex has just received Atami's new Rootbastic root conditioner. As the leader in hydroponics nutrients, Atami has been producing the industry's best products.
This is where Rootbastic comes in. Atami has been producing some of the hydroponic industry's best products. It was no surprise when they first announced Rootbastic to the market over a year ago. Having experience in producing concentrated nutrient supplements, it wasn't a coincidence that entered the root enhancing market.
We sat down with Tim Feldman, Chief Operating Officer at Grow Annex, to ask him his thoughts about Atami's new product. "Rootbastic is unlike Roots Excelurator, it is more concentrated and guaranteed to work." Tim also added, "It was about time a company like Atami came out with such a product. I couldn't believe that no other company could produce something to compete with House and Garden." When asked about pricing, Tim added, "The price is also much lower than the competition. With such a high concentration, it is the most cost-effective product out to date."
We also sat down with Peter Chiple, Chief Marketing Officer at Grow Annex, to find out more about the promotional activity with Rootbastic. Peter adds, "We already sell other Atami products. The name is associated with high quality and great results." He continues with, "You really don't have to promote a product like Rootbastic. Being from Atami is all people need to hear."
Grow Annex has been the leader in hydroponics and hydroponic supplies. They pride themselves in offering the best service and prices. To learn more, please visit them at www.growannex.com

Been wanting this for the past few months, planned it out for the past few weeks, finally got it done this Columbus weekend. I'm very pleased with how it came out. Here's a review of what I used and the basic method for doing it since there is next to no information out there on bypassing the early Seville's. Hopefully this helps, feel free to PM or post any questions.
PAC SNI-1 Ground Loop Isolators
GM1590 Dash Kit
Metra 70-1857 Harness
Chinese Backup Cam
Battery Disconnect Switch
Functionality Gained:
Navigation, Bluetooth phone and audio, video via DVD playback/SD Card/USB, audio via CD/SD/USB/Bluetooth/3.5mm, Backup Cam
Functionality lost:
Power antenna is always up, No tape player
I started off by trimming down the dash kit. When you get the kit in the mail it has like a million different tabs to accommodate the various vehicles it's meant to be used on. I trimmed off all the side tabs and attached the bottom bracket. On that bottom bracket there are two slots that are meant to accommodate the screw + screw clips that you remove from the stock headunit. After that the dash kit should reassemble in function the stock headunit.
I then wire tied the various wires I'd be running to the trunk (harness, video cable, reverse wire). I pulled up the door trim panels according to how N*Caddy recommended (thanks buddy) and exposed this little valley where a bunch of wires ran right to the trunk. I put the new wires in there (see picture, yep there is enough room). In the rear you remove the bottom of the back seat by pushing in hard then pulling up, you also need to loosen the top portion of the back seat to expose an area to run the cables. Then you're in the trunk, where the harness breaks off to the right to plug into the tuner's car harness and the video/reverse wire break off to the left so I could tuck them into the pipe that runs along the trunk hing for a neater look as they run up into the trunk lid (see picture).
Passing the harness's wires up to the dash is a little time consuming. The dash for the headunit is actually really tight especially later on when everything is in there. There is a small little gap underneath the glove box on the right side that you can just barely reach with your finger. I managed one at a time to pass the harness through there.
Then I wired up the harness to the new headunit's harness, plugged in GPS, MIC etc (see picture). This part is pretty straightforward and tedious so I'll skip it, unless you've never worked with wires before in which case feel free to PM me. Oh, I ran the USB/3.5mm to the center console (see picture), not glove box.
I then verified everything worked so far, which it did, no problems at all. There was a slight buzzing noise so I attached the ground loop isolators which got rid of all of it except for in one instance (read on). I've found these PAC ground loop isolators to be a must for any of these type of installs.
Then I drilled the backup cam in and tapped into the reverse wire (light green). The design of the cam is really nice in that the screen and wire are one in the same and pass through a single hole. The problem with this is that on our Caddy's there is this bubble type thing above where you would normally mount a backup cam which blocked and prevented me from screwing on the bolt to secure the camera. So I didn't screw it down but the camera seems to be pretty securely in place, time will tell. I love the clean, chrome look, almost looks stock (see pictures).
Check that the camera worked (it did), and then I started putting the seats, trim etc. back in place and cleaning up the car and garage.
Honestly it was a very problem free install, just time consuming since there wasn't much information on how to trim the kit. Everything turned right on and works. Two minor issue's.
Power Antenna is always up. I checked all my wiring and it is good, I also tapped into the pink trigger wires on the antenna but it still always went up. Currently I have the blue/white remote power antenna trigger wire on the headunit harness wired into the blue power antenna wire on the metra harness.
Buzzing. There is a slight buzz present only when the headlights are on, during daytime it is not there. It comes from the front speakers. I thought perhaps the illumination wire I tapped into for auto dim was located near the front speaker rca's but it wasn't. I even took off the crimp and tapped up the wire but still the same buzzing.
Dash. The trim around the radio isn't very impressive. I plan on fixing this hopefully this weekend with some black molding. The radio sticks out a slight bit more than the stock radio but that's because the new headunit is deeper and there are a ton more wires back there (see pictures).
That's it, no other problems. No security alarm issue's, no dieing headunit from lack of power, nothing serious at all. It is very possible to replace the headunit on this car with a music nicer, feature rich one. It's just time consuming.
- Use a battery disconnect switch, it's so much easier than connecting and disconnecting the battery every time you need to move a seat forward, test a wire for voltage, test the headunit or whatever.
- Get the ground loop isolators. A lot of people seem to wing it and see how bad the noise is first. The you're out another week while you wait for delivery of the isolators.
- Buy plenty of various size wire ties
- Keep a computer nearby just so you can look up shit and pass time during lunch break

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wow, beautiful room!! So peaceful, but so ready to get busy.
"The business of life is making memories. In the end, it is all we have." Butler Charlie Carson, Downton Abbey, season 4, episode 3, PBS.
If you are lucky enough to have an Ikea close by, then you must know about the Billy Bookcase system they also have that works well with the cd tower system (link below). For very little cash you can easily customize your sewing space into an area you won't ever want to leave! I not only use the CD Towers, the Billy Bookcases, large desk top with customized bases, but also have their cube system called Expedit....also available at Ikea. Check out their online catalog. You'll be making up your wish list for NEXT Christmas once you see all they have to offer!! (and no, I do not work for IKEA!! lol!!)
Such an inspiring space!!
That room is too neat to be used for sewing! It's great. If it was mine, though, it wouldn't look like that for long! Enjoy!
Lucky you! Enjoy.
Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!
Very nice and organized room in which to create.
Always in Stitches,
So blessed in the opportunity of life, the gifts of nature, and the choice to do good to others. I'm thankful for this day.

Hilary Duff Feeds Some Folks
More than a year after Hurricane Katrina, Hilary Duff is still making contributions to aid the victims of the storm's devastation. From Modern Guitars Magazine:
Internationally-celebrated, multi-platinum recording artist, concert performer, actress, designer, philanthropist and business woman Hilary Duff will continue her enormously generous charitable contributions to the victims of Hurricane Katrina with the donation of more than 200,000 meals to two shelters in Houston, TX. Duff has purchased these meals through USA Harvest, who she has done relief work and philanthropic donations with in the past, to be delivered to the Star of Hope shelter as well as the Harbor Lights Salvation Army shelter in Houston.
I find it admirable that Hilary's continuing her efforts to help those Katrina victims, but seriously, girlfriend is looking so waif-like these days, it makes a bitch wonder if she shouldn't grab one of those meals for herself.

Being a wake up genius is lonely work. Often, you have to go at it by yourself because it's risky, with uncertain outcomes.
This morning, however, I had an unknowing accomplice – Pugsley!
Pugsley snores. And he's not dainty about it. This morning, he was snoring on the pillow next to the female staff. How that did not wake her up, I have no idea.
But I didn't spend time pondering this and got right to work. I jumped up on the bed on the other side of the staff's head and nuzzled the top of her ear. Nothing. Then, put my wet little nose IN her ear and nuzzled. She made some noise and then rolled over.
That's when things got interesting. Pugsley not only snores but he snorts and sneezes in his sleep too. Just as the staff rolled over to get away from my nuzzling, Pugs did his sneeze/snort thing and sprayed sneeze juice right into her face!
OMG it was beautiful! She wasn't happy but, for once, it wasn't because of me!
And, BREAKFAST was on the way! Go Pugsley!

Last Chance Foods: Cauliflower
Think being a golf star with various mistresses is hard? Try the life of a farmer growing cauliflower. While the latter may not get as much press, cauliflower can really play havoc on the emotions, since it's notoriously difficult to grow.
"As a crop, it can be very rewarding or very devastating," said Jack Algiere (pictured below), the farm manager at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. "It's a very delicate creature. It likes real moderate care from the beginning to the end. It needs coddling the whole way."
Algiere recently sat down with WNYC's Amy Eddings to talk about cauliflower, which he describes as "the pig of vegetable world, it just eats and eats," getting bigger the more its watered and fed. The farmer oversees more than six acres of fields and gardens at Stone Barns, a nonprofit four-season farm and education center in Westchester County, N.Y.
Of the various types of cauliflower that he's grown at Stone Barns, including Romanesco, orange and purple varieties, he has noticed a particular phenomenon: People ascribe tastes to cauliflower based on color. Algiere has been told the orange cauliflower tastes like cheese and has convinced gullible audiences that the purple smacks of blueberry. "It's all cerebral," he said with a laugh. In reality, they all just taste like cauliflower, and he prefers growing the traditional white variety because it's sweeter, crisper and less woody.
In particular, Algiere enjoys a "cauliflower steak" recipe from Dan Barber, the chef at Blue Hill, which is the restaurant partnered with Stone Barns. Eddings added her own take on the vegetable, noting that cauliflower gratin is one of her favorite dishes to make. Find both recipes and more below.
"Cauliflower Steaks with Cauliflower Purée"
by Dan Barber, executive chef/co-owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns
- 1.5-pound head of cauliflower
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for brushing
1. Heat oven to 250°F.
2. Using sharp heavy knife and starting at top center of cauliflower head, cut two 1-inch-thick slices of cauliflower, cutting through stem end. Set cauliflower steaks aside. Cut enough florets from remaining cauliflower head to measure 3 cups.
3. Combine florets, 1 1/2 cups water, and milk in medium saucepan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to boil and cook until cauliflower florets are very tender, about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
4. Spread florets on large rimmed baking sheet, and bake 10 minutes until slightly dry.
5. Transfer florets to blender. Add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid and puree until smooth. Return puree to same saucepan and increase oven temperature to 350°F.
6. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brush cauliflower steaks with additional oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add cauliflower steaks to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
7. Transfer skillet to oven and bake cauliflower steaks until tender, about 10 minutes.
8. Warm cauliflower puree over medium heat. Divide puree between 2 plates; top each with cauliflower steak.
Amy Eddings's Favorite Cauliflower Gratin Recipe
(adapted from a recipe in Cooks Illustrated, March/April 2002)
Serves 6
Bread Crumb Topping:
- 4 slices sandwich bread with crusts, each slice torn into quarters
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 large head of cauliflower (about 3 lbs.), trimmed into ¾ inch florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot, minced (about 2 Tbls)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- Pinch fresh ground nutmeg
- Pinch cayenne
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
For the topping: Pulse bread, butter, salt and pepper in food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about ten 1-second pulses. Set aside.
For the filling:
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat over to 450 degrees.
2. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in big pot over high heart. Add 1 tablespoon salt and cauliflower florets; cook until outsides are tender but insides are still slightly crunchy, about 3 minutes. Err on the side of underdone. Drain cauliflower in a colander and rinse under cold running tap water until no longer hot.
3. Heat butter in large pot over medium heat. When foam subsides, add shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Stir in flour until combined. Whisk in cream and bring to boil. Stir in nutmeg, cayenne, ¼ teas salt, pepper, thyme and ½ cup cheese until incorporated. Off heat, gently stir in cauliflower until evenly combined.
5. Transfer mixture to 11x7 inch (2 quart) gratin dish. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons cheese evenly over surface, then sprinkle evenly with bread crumb topping.
6. Bake until golden brown and sauce is bubbling around edges, 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.

Minnesota man arrested in Hwy. 97 drug bust
Traffic stop turns up 31 lbs. of marijuana in duffel bag
MADRAS, Ore. - An Oregon State Police trooper's Highway 97 traffic stop last Wednesday about 15 miles north of Madras led to the seizure of about 31 pounds of marijuana and the arrest of a Minnesota man, troopers said Monday.
OSP Drug Enforcement Section has been conducting a follow-up investigation and has agreed to release information, troopers said in explaining the delay.
Around 1:30 p.m. on March 19, a senior trooper stopped a 2008 Chrysler Sebring displaying Minnesota license plates northbound on Highway 97 near milepost 75 for a traffic violation.
The driver was identified as Daniel R. Vagle, 31, of Big Lake, Minnesota.
An investigation during the traffic stop with the assistance of an OSP drug detection dog led to the discovery of the 31 pounds of marijuana in a large duffel bag in the car's trunk. Troopers estimated the value of the seized marijuana at $75,000.
Vagle was taken into custody by troopers and lodged in the Jefferson County Jail on drug possession and delivery charges. A jail officer said he was conditionally released after an initial court appearance the next day.

Citrus-Topped Pork Chops RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review

This is a different way to prepare pork, and my family really enjoys it. The recipe originally had only oranges, but I added the lemons for tartness and color.
Recommended: Top 10 Pork Chop Recipes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 loin pork chops (1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup apple jelly
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Merle Oberon (born Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson, 19 February 1911 – 23 November 1979) was an Anglo-Indian actress.[1] She began her film career in British films as Anne Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933). After her success in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), she travelled to the United States to make films for Samuel Goldwyn. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Dark Angel (1935). A traffic collision in 1937 caused facial injuries that could have ended her career, but she soon followed this with her most renowned performance in Wuthering Heights (1939).
Early life[edit]
Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson[2][3] was born in Bombay (now known as Mumbai), British India on 19 February 1911.[1] Merle was given "Queenie" as a nickname, in honour of Queen Mary, who visited India along with King George V in 1911.[4]
Born in Bombay, India, to a 12-year-old Indian girl, for most of her lifetime Oberon concealed the truth about her parentage. For many years she claimed that she had been born in Tasmania, Australia, and that her birth records had been destroyed in a fire. Some sources have claimed that Merle's parents were Arthur Terrence O'Brien Thompson, a British mechanical engineer from Darlington, who worked in Indian Railways,[5] and Charlotte Selby, a Eurasian from Ceylon with partial Māori heritage.[6] However, at the age of 14, Charlotte had in Ceylon given birth to her first child Constance, the result of a relationship with Henry Alfred Selby, an Irish foreman of a tea planter.[6] Constance, age 12 at the time of Merle's birth, was actually Merle's biological mother. Despite this, Charlotte raised Merle as her own child and as Constance's sister.[7][8] Charlotte's partner, Arthur Thompson, was listed as the father in Merle's birth certificate, with the forename misspelled as "Arther".[1] Constance eventually married and had four other children, Edna, Douglas, Harry and Stanislaus (Stan) with her husband Alexander Soares. All the siblings reportedly believed Merle to be their aunt (the sister of their mother Constance), when in fact she was their half-sister. Edna and Douglas moved at an early age to the UK and Harry later in life moved to Toronto, Canada, and retained Constance's maiden name, Selby. Stanislaus was the only child to keep his father's last name of Soares; he has resided in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
When Harry Selby tracked down Merle's birth certificate in Indian government records in Bombay, he was surprised to discover he was in fact Merle's brother and not her nephew. He attempted to visit her in Los Angeles, but she refused to see him. Harry withheld this information from Oberon's biographer Charles Higham, only eventually revealing it to Maree Delofski, the creator of The Trouble with Merle, a 2002 documentary produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, which investigated the various conflicting versions of Merle's origin.[8]
In 1914, Arthur Thompson joined the British Army and later died of pneumonia on the Western Front during the Battle of the Somme.[9] Merle, with Charlotte, led an impoverished existence in shabby flats in Bombay for a few years. Then, in 1917, they moved to better circumstances in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata)[10] Oberon received a foundation scholarship to attend La Martiniere Calcutta for Girls, one of the best private schools in Calcutta.[10] There, she was constantly taunted for her unconventional parentage, eventually leading her to quit school and receive lessons at home.[11]
Oberon first performed with the Calcutta Amateur Dramatic Society. She was also completely enamored of the films and enjoyed going out to nightclubs. Indian journalist Sunanda K. Datta-Ray claimed that Merle worked as a telephone operator in Calcutta under the name Queenie Thomson, and won a contest at Firpo's Restaurant there, before the outset of her film career.[12]
In 1929, Merle met a former actor named Colonel Ben Finney at Firpo's, and she dated him.[13] However, when he saw Oberon's dark-skinned mother (actually her grandmother) one night at her flat, and realised Oberon had mixed ancestry, he decided to end the relationship.[13] However, Finney promised to introduce her to Rex Ingram of Victorine Studios, if she was prepared to travel to France.[13] which she readily did.[13] After packing all their belongings and moving to France, Oberon and her mother found that their supposed benefactor avoided them,[14] although he had left a good word for Oberon with Ingram at the studios in Nice.[14] Ingram liked Oberon's exotic appearance and quickly hired her to be an extra in a party scene in a film named The Three Passions.[15]
In relation to her Maori and other heritage and it being hidden, New Zealand author Witi Ihimaera uses this as inspiration in the novel White Lies,[16][17] which was turned into the movie White Lies.[18]
Acting career[edit]
|This section appears to contradict itself on when Oberon came to Europe. (November 2014)
Oberon arrived in England for the first time in 1928, aged 17. Initially she worked as a club hostess under the name Queenie O'Brien and played in minor and unbilled roles in various films. "I couldn't dance or sing or write or paint. The only possible opening seemed to be in some line in which I could use my face. This was, in fact, no better than a hundred other faces, but it did possess a fortunately photogenic quality," she modestly told a journalist at Film Weekly in 1939.[19] In view of the information discovered since this 1939 article (see preceding section) this should be seen as part of a myth perpetrated by Oberon, since apparently she did not reach Europe until 1929.
Her film career received a major boost when the director Alexander Korda took an interest and gave her a small but prominent role, under the name Merle Oberon, as Anne Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933) opposite Charles Laughton. The film became a major success and she was then given leading roles, such as Lady Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) with Leslie Howard, who became her lover for a while.[20]
Oberon's career benefited from her relationship with, and later marriage to, Korda. He sold "shares" of her contract to producer Samuel Goldwyn, who gave her good vehicles in Hollywood. Her "mother" stayed behind in England. Oberon earned her sole Academy Award for Best Actress nomination for The Dark Angel (1935) produced by Goldwyn. Around this time she had a serious romance with David Niven, and according to one biographer even wanted to marry him, but he wasn't faithful to her.[21]
She was selected to star in Korda's 1937 film, I, Claudius, as Messalina, but her injuries in a car accident resulted in the film being abandoned.[22][23][Note 1]She went on to appear as Cathy in her most famous film, Wuthering Heights (opposite Laurence Olivier; 1939), as George Sand in A Song to Remember (1945) and as the Empress Josephine in Désirée (1954).
According to Princess Merle, the biography written by Charles Higham with Roy Moseley, Oberon suffered damage to her complexion in 1940 from a combination of cosmetic poisoning and an allergic reaction to sulfa drugs. Alexander Korda sent her to a skin specialist in New York City, where she underwent several dermabrasion procedures.[25] The results, however, were only partially successful; without makeup, one could see noticeable pitting and indentation of her skin.[25]
Charlotte died in 1937. In 1949 Oberon commissioned paintings of her mother from an old photograph.[26] The paintings hung in all her homes until Oberon's own death in 1979.[27]
Merle Oberon had a brief affair in 1941 with Richard Hillary, an RAF fighter pilot who had been badly burned in the Battle of Britain. They met while he was on a good-will tour of the United States. He later became well known as the author of a best-selling book, The Last Enemy.
Oberon became Lady Korda when her husband was knighted in 1942. At the time, the couple were based at Hills House in Denham, England. She divorced him in 1945, to marry cinematographer Lucien Ballard. Ballard devised a special camera light for her to eliminate her facial scars on film. The light became known as the "Obie".[28]
She married twice more, to Italian-born industrialist, Bruno Pagliai (with whom she adopted two children; they lived in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico)[29] and Dutch actor Robert Wolders – later companion to actresses Audrey Hepburn and Leslie Caron – before her retirement in Malibu, California, where she died, aged 68, after suffering a stroke. She was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.[30]
Oberon has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 6250 Hollywood Boulevard) for her contributions to Motion Pictures.
Michael Korda, nephew of Alexander Korda, wrote a roman à clef about Oberon after her death entitled Queenie. This was also turned into a television miniseries starring Mia Sara.[31]
Disputed birthplace[edit]
Oberon claimed that she was born and raised in Tasmania, Australia. The story of her alleged Tasmanian connections was comprehensively debunked after her death.[32]
Oberon is known to have been to Australia only twice.[33] Her first visit was in 1965, on a film promotion. Although a visit to Hobart was scheduled, after journalists in Sydney pressed her for details of her early life, she became ill and shortly afterwards left for Mexico.[33] In 1978, the year before her death, she agreed to visit Hobart for a Lord Mayoral reception. The Lord Mayor of Hobart became aware shortly before the reception that there was no proof she had been born in Tasmania, but to save face, went ahead with the reception. Shortly after arriving at the reception, Oberon, however, to the disappointment of many, denied she had been born in Tasmania. She then excused herself, claiming illness. Whether ill or not, this meant she was unavailable to answer any more questions about her background. On the way to the reception, she had told her driver that as a child she was on a ship with her father, who became ill when it was passing Hobart. They were taken ashore so he could be treated, and as a result she spent some of her early years on the island. This story, too, seems to have been a fabrication. During her Hobart stay, she remained in her hotel, gave no other interviews, and did not visit the theatre named in her honour.[33]

- ^ In July 1937, United Press correspondent Dan Rogers noted: "Beautiful Merle Oberon has two scars from her recent automobile accident, but movie fans will never see them. She is completely recovered, is entertaining again at her home … and will start a new picture here this month. … One [injury] was a slight cut on the left eyelid; it left no mark at all. The most serious hurt was to the back of her head; it left a scar but of course it is hidden by her thick hair. Just in front of her left ear is a fine perpendicular white line a half-inch long. So skillfully did surgeons do their job that this scar is invisible except at a range of a yard or less, in strong light." [24]

I've completed the first four missions of the game, achieving ratings of either Shadow, Specialist, or Silent Assassin on each. My scores are still there on the leaderboards, but the ratings have been reset to Agent, and the individual scores for each chapter of a mission are now 0.
This might have been only when I happened to notice, but I'm pretty sure this issue was caused when I went back to replay the scored section of the intro/tutorial mission on Purist difficulty (from level select, not the "new game" option on the main menu).
So what's up with this? Did it really reset my scores because I went to replay a mission, as if I were starting a new playthrough and would enjoy having all my records erased? Or is this is a bug? Either way, it's pretty annoying.
Some pics of what I'm talking about:

Noise measurement amplifier - interested?
2 Attachment(s)
Last evening I finished the PCB for the replacement amplifier board for my HP465A test amplifier. The 465A had gone wonky, with a lot of noise and a DC offset problem.
The circuit which is attached uses the SSM2019 programmable gain amplifier for 20, 40 and 60dB gain (trimmable), and follows an idea which Jung published in AudioXpress in 1995 and similar designs found on the Analog Devices website. It has "belt and suspenders" input protection -- perhaps unnecessary since the SSM2019 seems to have this incorporated.
The chip Walt used is no longer in production (or at least I couldn't find it) and almost all devices are SMT. If there is interest I could send the boards out for production and distribute at cost. The proto-type has the option for using the Linear Tech LT1964 and LT1761 ultra-quiet regulators (shown on the schematic) AND a TL431 type regulator. The proto's fit exactly into the space allotted in the Hewlett Packard 465A box. The power coming off the HP transformer is high so this had to be tamed with an active zener. If anyone is interested in testing power supplies, this is a handy instrument to have, and the HP 465A power supply, chasis etc. makes it convenient for DIYrs.
Hi Jack,
I would be interested. I *may* still have a few 2019's around, else I use one of your recommended ones. Are you thinking about a (semi) kit including say the regulators and opamp?
Jan Didden
I use the "W" version of the SSM2019 -- easier for me to hand-solder. I was just thinking of just having the boards made -- I used the SSM2019 since I had them on hand. Using this chip does "bandwidth limit" the project a bit (compared to the HP465A which is flat to 1MHz).
I was wondering whether to do some active filtering on the output. so that the noise can be referenced to a specific bandwidth.
Right now I am having an arguement with my PCB software -- it isn't allowing me to place the PowerPlane where I want it so I have had to "pour copper".
I added a 12.5 Hz Chebyshev low-pass filter to the circuit -- you can jumper it in or out with a couple of molex connectors (i.e. if you want to measure power supply noise, the filter is wired in, if you want to measure to 1 MHz, the filter is out.) I also changed the input caps to "back to back" 1000 uF electrolytics -- thus the response should be 0.1 Hz to 10Hz. This necessitated going from surface mount to through-hole.
I also removed the protection diodes -- and will rely on the diodes on the SSM2019.
here's a link to the article --
http://www.tech-diy.com/hp465a_ampli...ernization.htm - for purposes of clarity the ground plane isn't shown in the PCB design.
the jury is out on the LTC1761 and LTC1964 ultra-low noise regulators -- they may be unnecessary (and as I state, just add to the cost and complexity.)
C1, C4 and C7 have been omitted. if there is an RF or EMI problem they can be soldered in.
i will add a clipping indicator, am thinking of changing the resistor arrangement so that a trimpot can be inserted for the 20, 40 and 60dB ranges -- for the moment I have been soldering in different SMT resistors.
the SSM2019 does run "hot" -- the initial tests show that it is extremely quiet. I did find a cookie tin !
Count me in for 2 PCB-s. I know my friend will want one too :)
I updated the PCB -- now have a dual-comparator set up as a clipping indicator (over=>red, under=>green).
I tested the Linear Tech low noise LDO regulators -- they tame what was already a pretty quiet supply with the TL431 pre-regulator , but I don't know that they add to performance in any meaningful way.
Since I have just a little more space on the board I was thinking of gilding the lilly and adding an RMS detector...or should I put in a DPDT relay for DC-coupling (and by shorting the 1000uF input caps.)
The amp in its current incarnation doesn't seem to add any distortion or noise -- here's a pic -- without the clipping indicators installed yet:
works just fine at 20db and 40db, but the connector for 60db isn't functioning quite right yet:
Hello Jack,
just recently I stumbled over a very similar project as Yours (unless that it works with a ground referenced input only and lacks the differential input) .
It is well documented and I thought maybe You`ll find it interesting (but might well be that You know it already) :
BTW: as the SSM2019 is an obsolete and hard to find part, it appears to me it should be also possible to substitude it with an INA-103 (Burr-Brown) while getting very similar performance. What do you think?
I used dual BNC jacks on the input -- important to ground one of the inputs if you are going single-ended.

Chiefs lock likely to take field against Crusaders after last week's head injury.
The Chiefs look set to receive a big boost in the form of Brodie Retallick for the latest chapter in New Zealand rugby's best rivalry.
The lock should be available for Saturday night's crunch encounter with the Crusaders, having shown promising signs in shaking off the head knock he suffered last weekend.
After being forced from the field with 10 minutes remaining against the Rebels, Retallick struggled with recollection immediately after the match. But he has shown no concussion symptoms since Saturday night and, all going to plan, should be free to line up opposite his All Blacks teammates at Waikato Stadium.
"He's been ticking the boxes so far," coach Dave Rennie said at training on Monday. "He just had a run so, assuming he comes through that with no symptoms, we'll get him into a bit of contact later in the week.
"If he comes through that then he'll be able to play."
Retallick's inclusion will be vital for a Chiefs lineout that in recent games has shown signs of improvement. Having reached a nadir against Victor Matfield and the Bulls last month, the champs' forward pack has since won 22 lineouts while squandering just three.
If that success is to continue against an All Black-laden Crusaders pack, Retallick will need to be near his best. He has previously demonstrated a propensity for playing against test teammate Sam Whitelock, while young hooker Rhys Marshall would undoubtedly be reassured to see his familiar presence at lineout time.
Retallick's influence was further illustrated against the Rebels last week when he earned a temporary promotion in the absence of Liam Messam and Aaron Cruden. Instead of handing the captaincy to one of the old heads, Rennie opted to appoint Retallick in recognition of the 22-year-old's leadership potential.
If his recovery continues unabated, Retallick will join a forward pack much healthier than it was during the Chiefs' opening round win over the Crusaders. Liam Squire has returned from the neck injury that saw him on the sidelines in Africa, while Latimer and Sam Cane will be available after missing the week one clash.
In the backs, Mils Muliaina is a question mark but Asaeli Tikoirotuma is a possibility to play, potentially boosting a backline still ravaged by injuries to the likes of Cruden, Robbie Fruean and Charlie Ngatai. The backline could feature as few as two of the faces that began the campaign with a gutsy 18-10 victory in Christchurch.
But Rennie was more concerned with the material benefits of triumphing over a side currently sitting six points in arrears.
"It's more around banking the points," he said. "If we win, we strengthen our position; if we lose, we sort of fall back into the pack. So it's a big weekend for both sides."

Toronto Claims Wilfredo Ledezma
Toronto claimed Ledezma off of waivers.
The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed relief pitcher Wilfredo Ledezma off of waivers, according to Jennifer Langosch. Ledezma was designated for assignment last week to clear space for Aaron Thompson, who the Pirates claimed off of waivers from the Washington Nationals. The Pirates and Ledezma agreed to a split contract early in the off-season, paying him $700,000 at the major league level, or $300,000 in the minors. Toronto will pick up the entire amount of that contract....

USB iPad connection
When I connect my iPad to the arm rest USB connection it outlines it isn't charging. However it can communicate with the iPad through AUX interface, although its not technically synchronized. So I'm not sure it's a powered connection or not?

Re: USB iPad connection
It is a powered connector but the ipad draws way too much power for it. I put one of those high power USB adapters in the 12VDC outlet in the bottom console compartment (always on BTW) and connect my iPad there for power/charge and then use Bluetooth to play podcasts. You can't control the iPad song selection from the radio but otherwise it works just fine.
Yes I have that in place also, was just hoping to the use the other for this purpose also.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Re: USB iPad connection
Could you build/find a USB "splitter" that separates the power connections from the data connections? That way, you run the power to the 12V adapter and run the data to the USB port in the armrest. This should allow you to properly power the iPad while maintaining a synchronized connection to the 730.
Re: USB iPad connection
Perhaps use something like this:
"If your iPod isn't getting enough power from it's dock, the dockStubz lets you inject power via a micro USB jack located on the side of the adapter." They claim it works with the iPad.
or this:

Hosts Bangladesh meets Pakistan in today's 'curtain
By Dinesh WEERAWANSA
Sri Lanka, which showed good form in the recent Commonwealth Bank
Tri-Series, eliminating world champions India from the final and giving
a close run to Australia, will go out favourites at the 2012 Asia Cup
cricket tournament which begins in Bangladesh today.
Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, which has a record of
hosting 50 one day internationals within four years will be the venue
for the tournament during which the four participating teams will play
each other in the league round qualifiers. The top two teams after the
six qualifying round matches will advance to the final to be played on
March 22.
Sri Lanka to make it a habit of winning
After suffering back to back defeats in the first two games, Sri
Lanka came back strongly to enter the CB Series final, pushing world
champions India to the third place. Sri Lanka has shown impressive form
in the CB series, beating eventual winners Australia in three of the six
Especially, Sri Lanka's young brigade – Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh
Chandimal, Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera have shown good form in
recent times while spinner Rangana Herath too has proved his credential
in ODIs. Vice captain Angelo Mathews, who missed the last two CB Series
finals due to an injury, is expected to be fit for Sri Lanka's first
game of the tournament – against India on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka beat India in only one of their four league round meetings
in the CB series, losing two with one tie.
Skipper Mahela Jayawardene, since reassuring the captaincy, has
transformed the team into a fighting lot under the guidance of their new
coach. Hence, Sri Lanka will make every effort to make it a habit of
winning and maintain their consistency.
Former captain Tillakaratne Dilshan has regained his brilliant best
and his explosive batting will be a decisive factor towards Sri Lanka's
success. If skipper Jayawardene and experience Kumar Sangakkara could
keep the scoreboard moving, it will not be that difficult for Sri Lanka
to meet the challenge ahead.
Undoubtedly, India will make every endeavour to resurrect its lost
prestige after winning the 2011 World Cup. Hence, the reigning World
champions will go flat out to regain their supremacy and attempt to win
their sixth Asia Cup title. They have won five of the past ten Asia
Cups, since the tournament was inaugurated in 1983 under the auspicious
of the Asian Cricket Council.
But the team to watch will be the high-riding Pakistan, which will be
under a new coach, Australian Dav Whatmore, the man who made Sri Lanka's
successful recipe to win the 1996 World Cup under Arjuna Ranatunga.
Whatmore has already declared that he wants his team to make a good
start in the Asia Cup, following Pakistan's dismal performance against
England in the ODIs. "The Asia Cup is a very important tournament given
the opposition," Whatmore was quoted as saying.
It was India and Sri Lanka which has dominated in the Asia Cup
series, having shared nine titles out of the ten tournaments held so
far. India takes the lead with five cup titles to Sri Lanka's four. The
only occasion in which Pakistan won the Asia Cup was way back in 2000.
Whatmore has worked hard with the team after Pakistan conceded 0-4
and 1-2 defeats in the one-day and T20 matches against England in the
United Arab Emirates last month. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq aims to
bounce back and perform their best.
The four-nation tournament will bring a carnival atmosphere to
cricket-crazy Bangladesh though the hosts have never won this elusive
title. The hosts will take on Pakistan in today's 'curtain raiser' game.
But the two 'big games' of the tournament will be the battles between
arch rivals India and Pakistan to be played next Sunday (18).
The tournament will provide yet another opportunity for Indian master
batsman Sachin Tendulkar to go for that much sought after '100th
century' in international cricket.
Tendulkar, who turns 39 next month, has so far scored a record 99
centuries in world cricket – 51 in Tests and 48 in ODIs. In 460 ODIs,
the veteran opener has aggregated 18,254 runs with an average of 44.74,
a rare feat no other current batsman in world cricket could dream about.

chop or not to chop
i have a 32 ford pickup id like to know how a chop would fit for the driver
Those trucks are pretty cramped as is so depends totally on your size. Sit in it now and put a 2X4 on edge above your head. If you don't have at least an inch and a half clearance, might want to keep it where it is. Can try to lower the seat but then you run into knee clearance problems. I would early love to chop my '36 Willys coupe but at 6'3" I already bump my head when I hit a pot hole.
Are you sure it is a 32 and not a 33-34 pickup??
The 32 has the removable firewall, oval instrument panel mounted on "cone" which bolts to firewall, dashboard has oval hole and fits over instrument panel. Frame has the "smile" pressed into the siderail, runningboards are rubber covered, not diamond pattern, radiator shell has stamped oval in front for Ford emblem and no insert, just stamped steel bars, frame has K-member not X-member, 32 wheelbase is 106, not 112 as 33-34.
Ditto on your height.Glad I'm only 5'4" I did my 32ford 3" chop,altered seat height2" and looked great,also did 38 dodge pickup 3inch,seems IMO that 3 or 4 inch is max. for good looks.Try a pic of it on your puter and use "paint"or program to "chop it" and see outcome......

An unemployed man has admitted stabbing a Liverpool football fan to death in a bar.
Transport distribution worker Alex Jarmay, 26, staggered backwards out of the Bar Uno, in Camden, north London, after what appears to be a random attack.
Mr Jarmay, of Bromborough, Wirral, collapsed on a step outside in February.
He had travelled to the capital with his brother Luke, 22, and friends to watch the Reds play Cardiff in the Carling Cup Final, which Liverpool won the next day.
The group of around 12 friends, all said to be respectable, professional people, had gone out for a quiet drink.
Paul Beck, 29, of Spring Place, Kentish Town, north London, pleaded guilty to murder at the Old Bailey.
His brother Damien, 24, of the same address, pleaded guilty to wounding Luke Jarmay. His plea of not guilty to murder was accepted.
Outside court, Detective Inspector Mark Lawson said: "We have watched CCTV and this appears to have been a random attack.

It's Friday, so it's time for the Friday Goal brought to you by Budweiser!
To get you in the mood before Arsenal games we usually bring you FREE VIDEO footage of an historic goal against our forthcoming opponents.
This week we take you back to March 1994 and a stunning late equaliser by Paul Merson.
Manchester United had taken an early lead through winger Lee
Sharpe but an own goal by Gary Pallister restored parity nine
minutes before the break.
Sharpe then grabbed what looked like being the winner after 53 minutes but with 12 minutes remaining, the Gunners struck again.
Lee Dixon found Merson with a superb, lofted ball which took the striker clear of the United defence on the right of the box. Merson waited for the ball to drop, took his time and rifled a right-foot shot towards the top left-hand corner. The ball ricocheted off the post and the underside of the crossbar before nestling in the back of the net.

UTEP Hosts Two Ranked C-USA Teams This Weekend
As if playing two conference teams on your home court wasn't enough, the UTEP tennis team will be playing a pair of ranked Conference USA opponents at the El Paso Tennis Club this weekend.
On Friday, No. 52 SMU will play the Miners at 2 p.m. and on Saturday, it will be UTEP and No. 71 Houston at Noon. Admission is free to both matches.
It will mark the first time in four years and just the seventh time since 1991 that the Miners have hosted ranked teams on the same weekend.
UTEP (6-11, 1-1 C-USA) will be looking to snap a three-match slide where it has won just one match. The Miners are 3-3 at home this season.
SMU (12-5, 2-0 C-USA) has won five consecutive outings and is currently the highest of the three ranked C-USA teams. The Ponies lead the series, 10-4, and have won the last eight meetings.
Houston (14-3, 2-0 C-USA) is coming off a big 4-3 win over Tulsa last Sunday. The Cougars three losses have all come against school ranked in the top-50 at the time of the match. UH leads the series, 7-2, with a three-match win streak. The last time the Miners defeated the Cougars came in 2002 when UH came to El Paso ranked 64th. That was also the last time a UTEP team defeated a ranked school.
UTEP will conclude its home schedule next weekend when it plays host to New Mexico State on Friday, April 7 at 1:30 p.m.

Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed Apple's iMac, the epitome of high design, one box computing. As I sat there looking taking in its sleek curves and glossy looks, I couldn't help but wonder why you couldn't get a PC that could equal its style. Ironic then that just a few days later, I found, waiting for me on a desk in our labs, the Sony VGC-LT1S, as if to say, "oh yeah Apple, check this out". So can Sony style, match Apple attitude?
The Sony VGC-LT1S certainly makes an impression compared to your average PC. As with the iMac the PC is built into the back of the display and with a wireless and keyboard and mouse it makes for a very minimalist set up. However, the Sony looks quite different. While the back of the display is not as thin as Apple's deliciously svelte new iMac, Sony has placed the whole thing in a transparent frame, with thin photo frame like edges, giving it a floating look, reminiscent of Sony's Bravia TVs. This is quite fitting though as this machine is more than just a PC - it's a fully fledged media centre courtesy of a dual hybrid TV tuners - which is great to see as it means you can watch one digital or analogue channel while recording another. Naturally, with Windows Vista Home Premium installed you get Windows Media Centre and a nice looking remote control is supplied, though for some reason it's white rather than a system matching silver, which seems to be a bit of an oversight.
The display is 22in in diameter and has a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and sports X-Black technology - a glossy coating that's designed to enhance colours and contrast. The size is large enough to serve as a small TV for a study, office or kitchen, say, and of course is perfectly comfortable to work on as a regular PC. The display is Vesa compliant so can be wall mounted - you just need to remove the rear stand, though the mount has to be purchased separately, according to the US website - as of writing the LT series isn't currently on the UK Sony site. The TV Tuner inputs and networking connections are side mounted so you could get to them even when it's hung up on the wall. There are also some cable management hooks so you can keep the wiring neat and tidy.

Bayraktar, Erhan and Xing, Hao (2009) Pricing American options for jump diffusions by iterating optimal stopping problems for diffusions. Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 70 (3). pp. 505-525. ISSN 1432-2994
We approximate the price of the American put for jump diffusions by a sequence of functions, which are computed iteratively. This sequence converges to the price function uniformly and exponentially fast. Each element of the approximating sequence solves an optimal stopping problem for geometric Brownian motion, and can be numerically computed using the classical finite difference methods. We prove the convergence of this numerical scheme and present examples to illustrate its performance.

text: I have a '07 WRX that is approaching 60k miles. I've been getting together all the parts that I need to do the 60k mile service. Oddly enough, I read that the fuel filter is in the gas tank. My owner's manual says that it needs to be replaced at 60k miles. Does anyone know the procedure or have a link to it?
