If you are asking the question: Why use Forex trading software you are probably already aware of the potential money making opportunities of the forex (currency trading) market.
For the small investor in these difficult times, developing additional, or multiple, income streams would seem to be a wise decision. For small investors beginning to explore the forex market a forex trading program can also be a great help in learning to understand how the market works.
The fact is forex market trends are highly complex by their very nature. Successful traders concentrate on longer term trends and accept that there can be short term reversals of fortune The trouble is for less experienced traders, the emotional responses can cloud your judgement causing you to deal badly with such reversals, or hold on longer than you intended when you see things going your way, only to lose your gains at the last minute.
A Forex trading robot has no such emotions and will only react according to your intentions when establishing the trade. This is one of the key benefits for people trading on Forex from home.
A second major benefit is the complexity of the algorithms that the Forex robot uses to analyse the markets and the speed with which it calculates them. Third is the ease with which forex trading software can gather together all of the information you need in order to decide on your trades, and remember, Forex is a 24 hour market.
For those of you who are just beginning to explore the forex market to decide whether to invest your time and money, a Forex trading robot may be the perfect way to help you decide.
Forex Trading Software is now relatively inexpensive, in fact much cheaper than the losses on a single trade can be. Most programs have the ability for you to practise in real time without exposing yourself financially. So that when you have learnt how it works you can go live with confidence. For many, the only way to find out if these programs work is to try them. Many come with a 60-day – 100% satisfaction guarantee, so, investing in a Forex Trading Software could be a wise investment.
The forex markets are completely accessible to the smaller investor working from home. Access is easily available via the Internet and the stake required is very modest. Add to that the fact that while your financial risk is limited to the amount you wish to trade, the amount of profit you could make is unlimited. This is because in forex trading your gains are effectively multiplied by 100, so a 0.5% gain from one currency to another results in a 50% gain on your investment.
Forex Trading Software has become so affordable for the small home trader that it is an investment many of us can now make. And, the advanced functionality of these programs means that they can also help to increase our understanding of this complex but highly lucrative market. Would forex trading software enable you to participate in the Foreign Currency markets?

I just had to take some pictures of what we have been playing with. Still early days, but these bags have been out and about and we have already had some positive feedback. Logos are arriving this week so expect to see some glossy pictures later this week or next week. We have also looked at the 'festival trolley'. A great piece of luggage for carrying your kit to the Isle of Wight festival or the isle of Wight Bestival. We of course support sensible drinking, but just imagine how much drink and food you can get in one of these – and still look good!!
Anyway, much, much more to come. The website will be finished this week (won't it John:)). I will introduce John when the website goes live, but he is a bit of a guru and I am lucky to have his support so I will be shamelessly plugging his talents along the way.
I also need to thank Paul Newell Sailmaker and Medina Sailcare of Cowes who are big supporters of Wightsails and have provided material that would have otherwise been thrown away. I have had a chance to look at these businesses and I can say that if I needed a new sail making I would not hesitate to visit one of these sail lofts. Great guys and great sails. Thanks !

Ron Dayne
Born in Berlin Township, New Jersey, Ron Dayne was a prolific high school running back and track and field star. Dayne won state championships for both shot put and discus, and still has the fifth best discus throw by a high school athlete in U.S. history.
While many college coaches wanted him to play fullback, Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez promised him he would be a tailback, which ultimately led to Dayne committing to the Badgers. While at Wisconsin, Dayne was a workhorse, carrying the ball 1,220 times in his four years in Madison. He was a three-time All-American, and his 1,834 yards as a senior earned him the Maxwell Award, as well as Big Ten Player of the Year honors. Dayne also managed to eclipse the all-time rushing record, a feat that Ricky Williams had managed just one year earlier. Dayne's 6,397 yards is still the NCAA record. While Dayne was tremendous in the regular season, he also was a dominating force on the biggest stage of the game, winning back-to-back Rose Bowl MVP honors.
The New York Giants selected Dayne with the 11th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, where he teamed with star running back Tiki Barber to create the famous "Thunder and Lightning" backfield combination. The two combined for over 1,700 rushing yards, and helped the Giants reach the Super Bowl. After playing for the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, Dayne decided to leave football after the 2007 season.
Dayne was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2013.

Basement dryout/remodel
Hello all, I've been doing a lot of searching and I think I have finally found 1) a great forum and 2) an answer to my problems. Of course, the answers leads to more questions!
Let me try to be short with the background. I'm in the beginning stages of getting my basement ready to be finished. The first thing that needs to be dealt with is the mildew/mold problem. The basement is block wall, with an interior french drain system (that works) and the concrete slab is an inch or two away from the wall. I have a sump hole/pump that collects the water and sends it out doors. During Hurricane Irene where we saw massive amounts of rain fall, my basement did not flood:thumbup:. I get no water leakage through the walls, I have a few spots with efflorescence, and a few more where the block is wet (my guess is water is inside the block and slowly drying out). All in all, the basement is fairly dry, but the humidity level is what is very high - hence the mold/mildew.
I'm thinking that some type of foam panel is my best bet to get rid of the moisture/mildew problem. But considering that my slab does not touch the wall, do I put up the panel so it covers the trough? Or should I set them so they sit just above the trough?
Thank you in advance.

In October, with great fanfare, the Open Data Center Alliance unfurled its banners. The ODCA is a consortium of approximately 50 large IT consumers, including large manufacturing, hosting and telecomm providers, with the avowed intent of developing standards for interoperable cloud computing. In addition to the roster of users, the announcement highlighted Intel with an ambiguous role as a technology advisor to the group. The ODCA believes that it will achieve some weight in the industry due to its estimated $50 billion per year of cumulative IT purchasing power, and the trade press was full of praises for influential users driving technology as opposed to allowing rapacious vendors such as HP and IBM to drive users down proprietary paths that lead to vendor lock-in.
Now that we've had a month or more to allow the purple prose to settle a bit, let's look at the underlying claims, potential impact of the ODCA and the shifting roles of vendors and consumers of technology. And let's not forget about the role of Intel.
First, let me state unambiguously that one of the core intentions of the ODCA, the desire to develop common use case models that will in turn drive vendors to develop products that comply with the models based on the economic clout of the ODCA members (and hopefully there will be a correlation between ODCA member requirements and those of a wider set of consumers), is a good idea. Vendors spend a lot of time talking to users and trying to understand their requirements, and having the ODCA as a proxy for the requirements of a lot of very influential customers will be a benefit to all concerned.

The second half of 2010 has laid a foundation in the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) market that looks to make 2011 a landmark year. Moves by a variety of players may just turn this into a vibrant, steady market rather than today's Amazon Web Services and a distant race for second. VMware vCloud Director finally shipped after much delay — a break from VMware's rather steady on-time execution prior — and will power both ISP public clouds and enterprise private efforts in 2011. VMops changed its name and landed a passel of service providers; we'll see if they live up to be the ".com" in Cloud.com. OpenStack came out of the gate with strong ISV support and small ISP momentum; 2011 may prove a make-or-break year for the open source upstart. And nearly every enter

Cloud computing has arrived on the market in a big way, with virtually every tech vendor, regardless of size, geography, or solution, vying for a cloud position. But in the race to the cloud, many tech vendors have forgotten that ever-critical customer relationship vehicle: the channel. Or, if they haven't forgotten it, they've coaxed channel partners with the pat mantra, "Do more consulting" ("… while we take care of delivery"). To get channel partners' perspectives on how the technology value chain is changing in an as-a-service delivery model world, Forrester recently teamed with Outsource Channel Executives (OCE) to survey executives of channel companies across 39 countries, from the local level to the global.
The results of the survey are in, and they tell quite a story: that there is a good deal of angst and confusion among channel partners over their role/value in the cloud services technology value chain; that they aren't sitting on their hands, waiting for tech vendors to tell them what to do; and that they need a lot of help in transforming their marketing and business models in this new era of cloud computing.
Now, not all channel companies are going to be able to make that transformation (nor should they – after all, cloud computing will never represent 100% of the technology market). But there are going to be many that will try and fail, ultimately resulting in a 12%-15% channel company washout. So think about it – supply (the number of channel companies) goes down; demand (for channel partner assets) remains high. It's those tech vendors that amp their channel game to enable their partners' cloud aspirations that are going to come away as the new "channel chiefs."

This past weekend, my wife wanted desperately to attend Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear," to support the message of civility and moderation. An injured foot and problems with travel logistics kept her from attending, but we watched it on the Comedy Central network. It was, of course, a counterpoint to the "Restoring Honor" rally that Fox News' Glen Beck held in August. However, there were two striking commonalities about the two rallies:

Sourcing executives are winding down 2010 and gearing up for 2011. Most of the sourcing executives we have spoken with recently are bullish about the year ahead, despite some looming uncertainty about the economy, particularly in Europe. Spend is opening up again, and buyers are investing in more strategic initiatives. But sourcing groups still struggle to balance low cost and high value.
Many of the sourcing groups currently working with Forrester are asking about cloud as a viable alternative to traditional deployment models. Cloud promises rapid deployment, potentially significant cost savings, and variable pricing in line with how buyers want to pay in the current economy. And cloud offerings continue to mature in areas where buyers previously had concerns (vendor viability, security, architecture, location of data). Cloud adoption is already over 25% in North America, and continues to grow in Europe (led by UK, but also growing in areas like Germany, France, the Nordics).
Most sourcing strategies around cloud consist of five key phases:
1. Understanding the evolving supplier landscape and market maturity across cloud offerings.
2. Educating business (and potentially IT) about the advantages and disadvantages of cloud.
3. Building decision frameworks to support cloud purchases.
4. Creating a contract negotiation and pricing strategy for cloud; building contract templates.
5. Working with business, vendor management, and IT to routinely evaluate ROI and decide whether to renew relationships or find alternatives (potentially cloud, hosted, on-premise, or hybrid).

Dispatches from the fight against homelessness and AIDS
Posted by Tim Murphy , December 13, 2013
Phoenix House in Brooklyn.
In an important decision for the transgender community, New York State Supreme Court Justice Debra Silber has ruled in Wilson v. Phoenix House that Plaintiff Sabrina Wilson must be allowed to proceed with her discrimination case against Phoenix House, a national alcohol and drug treatment provider. Armen H. Merjian, Senior Staff Attorney at Housing Works, was the counsel for Ms. Wilson.
Ms. Wilson, who has identified as female since she was 14, entered Phoenix House as an alternative to incarceration. Despite her gender identity, Phoenix House prohibited Ms. Wilson from dressing as a woman, from sitting among women in meetings, and from joining a woman's support group, even after she won the support of the women in that group.
Ultimately, Phoenix House failed to advance her in treatment, despite her significant progress – she was in fact appointed a resident coordinator – and decided to terminate her from the program, on the basis that they could not "suit [her] needs as a transgender in our program."
"Despite plaintiff's inquiries and requests," Justice Silber observed, "an alternative program that could 'meet her needs' was not located by Phoenix House, and plaintiff, angry and frustrated that they would not let her complete the treatment program, left Phoenix House without permission."
Following this ordeal, Ms. Wilson relapsed and spent two and one-half years in prison.
Phoenix House moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the State and City Human Rights Laws should not apply to Phoenix House, among other reasons because the residential facility was not a "dwelling." Such arguments, if upheld, would have provided Phoenix House with free rein to discriminate against its clients on the basis of gender and any other protected category, casting it beyond the reach of the law.
Justice Silber rejected each of the Defendants' arguments, allowing all five of Ms. Wilson's claims to advance. Justice Silber began by noting that while the "legal and political community has made great strides in the last decade toward assuring legal equality for lesbian, gay and bisexual persons . . . with regard to transgendered and other gender nonconforming people, there has been far less progress in addressing their legal rights."
In upholding Ms. Wilson's right to sue, Justice Silber noted that transgender individuals are more likely to be assaulted, harassed, and raped in prison, "and therefore programs such as Defendant's are even more critical for them."
Armen H. Merjian said: "Rather than contest the facts, Phoenix House moved to dismiss, asserting that the Human Rights Laws should not apply to their program. We are delighted that the Court has affirmed that Phoenix House is not above the law, and that transgender folks and others have a right to challenge odious discrimination in this and analogous settings. As Justice Silber noted, 'there has been a considerable lack of understanding in the courts with regard to issues of concern to this population.' This decision is another step forward in enhancing that understanding."
Here is the NY Law Journal story:
Judge Says Transgender Woman May Sue Drug Program for Bias
John Caher
A transgender individual who fled from a residential drug treatment program can sue the program for housing discrimination for failing to accommodate her special needs, a Brooklyn judge has held.
Acting Supreme Court Justice Debra Silber (See Profile) said Sabire Wilson can seek remedies ranging from injunctive relief to punitive damages against Phoenix House's drug treatment program and its director, Sydney Hargrove.
Silber, bemoaning the "considerable lack of understanding in the courts with regard to issues of concern" to the transgender population, said Wilson is entitled to her day in court.
Wilson, a 32-year-old, homeless, male-to-female transgender who was diagnosed with a gender identity disorder when she was 16, was arrested in 2008 for a drug crime, her first felony offense, according to court papers. She signed off on a plea bargain and agreed, as an alternative to incarceration, to enter the residential treatment program at Phoenix House in Brooklyn.
In her complaint, Wilson alleges she was directed to use the men's rest room and share a room with men because she remained biologically male. She also claims she was forbidden to wear her wig and high-heels even though women in the program were allowed to wear wigs and heels; was forced to sit with men during counseling sessions; was expelled from a gender-specific women's support group; and was ultimately told she would be transferred to a different residential program.
"Despite plaintiff's inquiries and requests, an alternative program that could 'meet her needs' was not located by Phoenix House, and plaintiff, angry and frustrated that they would not let her complete the treatment program, left Phoenix House without permission," Silber wrote, noting that Wilson was ultimately resentenced to 2 1/2 years in state prison.
Silber said a study has shown that transgender people are more likely to be neglected, harassed, humiliated and raped in prison, "and therefore programs such as defendants' are even more critical for them."
Wilson sued under the state and city human rights laws, alleging housing discrimination and disability discrimination based on the gender identity disorder. Phoenix House and Hargrove submitted a pre-answer motion to dismiss, but Silber allowed virtually all of the claims to proceed.
In a 46-page decision dated Dec. 10, Silber traced the recent legal and societal history of transgender people and said that while "great strides" have been made in assuring legal equality for gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals, "with regard to transgendered and other gender nonconforming people, there has been far less progress."
"As our society evolves, the concept of gender is evolving from a 'coercive binary regime' toward a more fluid identification of one's gender, thus moving claims of gender identity disorder and any concomitant claims of disability into the realm of political unacceptability," Silber wrote. "But society is not there yet."
Silber said there are only two openly transgender judges in the country and said attorneys, advocates and courts have yet to figure out if transgender discrimination claims fall under the rubric of disability discrimination, gender discrimination, both or neither.
Here, the defendants argued that Wilson could not sustain a disability bias claim because she has not pleaded a disability, regardless of the gender identity disorder diagnosis. The defendants also maintained that the housing discrimination laws apply to landlords, and not to facilities such as theirs.
Silber disagreed.
The judge said gender identity disorder is a disability under both the state and city human rights laws, and also concluded that housing discrimination laws apply to institutions such as Phoenix House.
Wilson was represented by Armen Merjian of Housing Works, who was not immediately available for comment.
The defendants were represented by Joel Simon and Marcia Raicus of Smith Mazure Director Wilkins Young & Yagerman in Manhattan. Simon said he was reviewing the decision.

removing a tile towel bar
Hi, I am updating my bathroom and need to remove a towel bar. It's the ceramic kind you usually see attached to tile like the ones in the shower, but it's attached to drywall. The house is only a couple of years old, so it's still pretty sturdy. Can anyone tell me what holds these on and how to remove them with minimal damage to the drywall? There are no visible screws and it looks like it's been sealed around the edges. Thanks, Amy
Good news and bad news. Bad news first; these are usually mudded in which means removal is going to take some drywall repair. Good news is, it's really not that bad.
Remove the towel bar, I use a sawzall but many methods will work including a swift blow with a hammer. Check for any electrics in the wall and make a rectangular cut around the holders with the sawzall or razor knife and stay about 3/4" from the holders. Remove the holders and you will have 2 rectangular holes in the wall. Patch the holes and paint.
If I plan to put in a new bar, I'll reinforce the area using a 1X4 for a backing plate prior to installing the drywall patch.

'I'm very excited about this winter in fashion. And that's because of the return of the camel coat. And the leather jacket too, actually. That's as far as I'll be going with the rock chick look – I have a clean-cut image and, well, that's just me – but I like that we did it today. I love fashion, but I've always been quite safe and I need to get out of my comfort zone, bring a bit more edge in to my wardrobe. I've been wearing a little knitted jumper from Topshop and a high-waisted pencil skirt, which is a new thing for me, but I need to find ways to play with clothes more. Having said that, it's best not to try to be too clever, that's when it can all go t*ts up.
And it did for me, quite literally, with the dress I wore to the Glamour Awards last year. It seemed absolutely fine but then under the paparazzi lights suddenly you could see everything, my boobs were totally on show, and I was on the front page of all the papers the next day for all the wrong reasons. My God that was awful. My boobs were a little more buoyant than they normally would be too because I was pregnant, although I didn't know it at the time. It's a beautiful dress and I have worn it since – I wore a lot of upholstery, a veritable body suit, and I tested it with a Polaroid camera before I wore it for a wedding.'
'I LOVE this dress, it has a hard edge but would still be great for a night out.'

'I think I got that reputation from my early years as a presenter on Sky Sports. A lot of shows I've done are very formal and you don't see my character. Like on Gladiators, there was no room for being me, and that's not done me any favours. Recently I've been doing Lorraine Kelly's show on GMTV, which is a big show with all sorts of elements, and I've loved it, it's my sort of show. I now know what I want to do, finally, at the age of 34. I am an old-fashioned, proper presenter, not a reality star, I've come through the ranks, and this is a proper presenting job and you have to use all your knowledge and experience to get through the show otherwise you'd fall off air. When you're nearly 35 you want to do the right things. I'd love to do a fashion programme. Maybe I can host one with Alexa Chung. She can be the young one and I'll be the old bag.'

'I've been a very grown-up lady this year. I had another baby, Jude, to join Oscar, three, in January and then I got married to my partner of nine years, Paul, in July. It's been busy and stressful – I got laryngitis straight after we got married – I couldn't speak on our wedding night, luckily for Paul – which is how my meltdown manifested itself. But the wedding was exactly what I wanted it to be. I'm older with two kids and I didn't want the white wedding thing, I just wanted the atmosphere of a family holiday, so we had a small affair near Seville in Spain. It was in a cathedral and a very typical Catholic Spanish wedding, there was nothing English about it, we had Flamenco singers doing the hymns. I cried a little bit, but not as much as Paul, he's a very sensitive, emotional soul.
I love being married and we feel like a proper family now. But it's a struggle to find time for each other, it all gets a bit functional. You end up on autopilot, doing everything you've got to do. If we try to relax at home, there's always something to do. I do four loads of laundry a day, I'm like a washerwoman, but I love domestic duties, I'm very anal. I had a meltdown the other day where I thought, "Do you know what? I can't be everything to everybody". Sometimes you think you've got to be superwoman and I need to chill out. But I've got a nanny who is brilliant, and I love being a mum.
My pregnancy was really rough the first time and even worse the second time, oh just awful, so sick every day. I'd like a third child, though, in a couple of years. It probably helps that I had amazing births. With Jude, it was so easy it was scary. Your body knows what to do and he literally flew out, just a couple of pushes.'

Shailene Woodley & Theo James Drop By (Literally) "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
They're two of the hottest young stars in Hollywood, and last night (February 3) Shailene Woodley and Theo James zip-lined over to " Jimmy Kimmel Live."
The "Divergent" costars showed up to promote their new flick, though talk quickly turned to Ms. Woodley's rumored obsession with local spring water.
Shailene confessed, "That's correct. It's the only water I try to drink, but we travel so much. [I do it] when I'm home, when I have the time. There are a lot of mountains with a lot of water. There are natural springs."
"There's this amazing database called findaspring.com, and it kind of lists where all the springs throughout the world are: hot springs, cold springs. It's really fantastic...You have to be careful about it, though. You could have some danger zones—something funky in the water," she added.
Kimmel asked, "Do you share that water with people? Because if I went up to the mountains and got my own jug of water, I would save it all for myself."
Woodley replied, "There is so much water! You bring these 5-gallon little carboy situations, you fill them up, take 'em home, put 'em in the trunk. Good for a month."
Prior to showing the final "Divergent" teaser trailer, Theo discussed the process of preparing for the role. "We both talked about it, and it's something that you need to really have a bit of a think about, to contemplate how it's going to change your career and your life. By the same token, you don't know what anything's going to be."
Shailene added, "I think sort of the lack of anonymity would be the most daunting factor in taking on a movie like this. But you never know! You never know what's going to happen."

Pork Skin vs. Rawhide
I was given a Scott Pet Pork Chomps pork skin treat for my dog as a gift. Im always very hesitant to give my dog any sort of skin products. Not just for choking/i.t. blockage reasons, but I'd rather just give her better items than that. Throwing some Wellness Bites into a puzzle toy or a bully stick usually works better. That said, my dog is great about biting off pieces of anything we give her, so I generally trust her. And bully sticks and toys only last so long with her; sometimes, I just want her occupied while I'm busy.
That aside, this product says that pork skin, as opposed to raw hide, is found to be 95% digestible, and it looks like it wont splinter/allow to be swallowed in too big of pieces. I never trust packaging on human or non-human-animal foods though, so I was wondering if you have read anything concerning the merits/pitfalls of these products.

The 95% digestible means if well chewed. You would do well to extend your caution to it too. You dog can tear off a dangerous large piece or gnaw it down to one. Some of my Christmas gifts are going to the thrift store. I would send the pork skin to the land fill.
Keep up the Wellness treats in the puzzle ball. You can also fill a Kong with peanut butter and freeze it.

We never get raw hide or any of that kind of "treat". Too much of a choking hazard. Plus some of the brands are just junk.
My dogs love to chew on antlers. You can buy different sizes. I watch them and throw them out when they get too small and could become lodged in the dogs' throats.
If you can't find them locally you can find them online.
Member 201551 answered on 1/8/10. Helpful? / 0
I don't recommend them usually if anyone gives a gift that i am uncomfortable feeding then it gets tossed out.
I have learned the hard way yes, these types of chews can be dangerous and a choke hazzard.
I think you are a great dog parent for asking the question.
I only buy kongs for several years now. They last a long time and they get tossed with useage. good luck.
If you want to try some neat treats I found that Ziwi peak has jerky that is really good. And then I just found Bravo company with salmon treats and Grandma Lucy's online.

BMW CEO confirms BMW X4 (F26) will be produced. Baby X6 interest anyone?

X4 - Getting an X change operation.
An excerpt from my post in response to the Z2 rendering a couple months back:
"Seemed that the sporty coupes were even numbered and sedans/people movers were odd, with a few exceptions (M1 and some 3-series variants).
What's next, the 5-series coupe?"
Anyone else find it challenging to differentiate the new 5/7 series from each other without looking at the numerical tramp stamp on either's posterior?
"Running out of single digits for vehicle nomenclature BMW. I can only imagine the day when so many "niches" are created we'll be stumbling over pronouncing the unwieldy Eleven-series. Ugh. Trying to be all things to all people is going to kill BMW cachet and dilute the overall product. Enough with the X3/6 mad scientist experiments already.
Get back to making driver's cars people aspire to own and lust after their entire childhood ala the M3 and 635csi. If I see a Z4 5-door concept, heck even a sketch on a bev-nap from an uber-Oktoberfested designer, I will part out my 6er out of pure spite in protest."
Whew! That was close. Thought for a minute there I was gonna have to chop up my 6er much sooner than I thought. Don't make me do it BMW. How prophetic was it that I named my just-less-than "murdered out" 6er, "Justifiable Homicide?" The Z2 rendering, now X4 are Signs 1 and 2 the Apocalypse is upon us.
I have some branding/marketing thoughts, ruminations, etc... for the X4. How about the "22", as in Catch? An 2+2 seat Sport Utility Vehicle that is too plump to offer the driver anything resembling an athletic performance and due to its Mini-me X6 dimensions, too diminutive to provide much in the way of Utility.
Cue the BMW Niche Marketing Department, whose existence, like Area 51's, cannot be confirmed, though ironically do that very thing by launching alien craft into orbit only ever to be seen by a few wackos with a HandyCam.
So in an attempt to separate the X4 from the dreaded SUV moniker, the Sports Activity Crossover was born and abruptly euthanized upon realizing nobody wants to be caught dead riding around town in your SAC.
Fitting that the country that invented rocketry, designs a vehicle like the X4/X6 that suffers from the same propulsion dilemma that confounded NASA engineers developing rockets powerful enough to escape Earth's gravitational pull. "Too heavy, add fuel for more power, which adds weight, which requires more fuel, which adds more weight." Do you see where this is going?
Recently BMW, known globally for it's marriage of computer wizardry and controversial automotive design have green-lighted the
echnology edition X4, or for short, X4 IT SUX.

Contractor workmanship issues
6 Attachment(s)
Here are some photos of the workmanship of a licensed electrician that I hired to wire a 200 amp service to a 45x40 hobby shop behind my house. I hope there are some professional contractors That will take the time and tell me if I am just being to picky. He has been working on this since may 8th and has not completed the job as we had discussed prior to commencing work. 2x4 for wall outlet drop downs. The local inspection said that it was poor workmanship and the inspector will fail it if I say I will not accept the work. Part of me wants to just pay the guy and the other part wants to fight for what I think should be an Professional job. It has not gotten an green sticker yet and I got a bill today. Also I have been out of pocket $800 extra bucks for a new pedestal from my local utility and 2 outside lights he would not buy. When the local electrical company put the new pedestal in the feeders to my house panel were 6 in to short. 2 3/0 and 1 2/0 wiring
maybe 6 ft he hit me with another 725 bucks to run those wires. I had no power to the house. Any advise what are my rights. Thanks in advance kfen
I do not see an obvious code violation, other than neat and workman like execution, or lack there of. Looks like hack work to me. Did you get a contract? Where do all those 2 inch pipes go to on the other side of that wall?
Looks like dog sh#t, where did you find this guy?
They go to the disconect box for the shop. The main panel and the disconect in or county have to be with in x number of feet apart. I did get a contract but how do you inforce workmaship. If the inspection dept. fails it. Do I have to pay the balance until it passes?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, works for me... I wouldn't put that on my place, and I would have gone over the best possible layout with the owner if I thought it might raise an eyebrow. just my 2 cents anyhow.
If he fails it I would LOVE to see what code section he cites, how can he possible know what looks pretty and whats ugly? Would you trust him to pick your wife? :) See where i'm going with this?
110.12 Mechanical Execution of Work.Electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner
The inspector shouldn't base his call on the opinion of the building's owner. That is weak. Either call sparky for poor workmanship based on 110.12 or don't, but he should make the decision himself. As soon as an inspector lets an owner's opinion of anything sway him one way or another, he's become ineffective.
For the record, that is ugly as sin and the guy should be ashamed of it. He's obviously someone that doesn't take any pride in his work. I'd ask that he come back to the job to review the overall quality of his installation.
:eek:AC, MC, FMC and NM-B all share something in common. They can't be used where subject to physical damage. It might well be that an inspector will sign off on a building with one of these wiring types exposed at low levels like those in the pictures but it really ought to be EMT or SCH 80 PVC at a minimum.
:mad:2 runs of AC or MC, whatever was used, supported by a Mineralac listed for a single conduit or cable. Several places the cable isn't anchored within 12" of the box. The ground rod is supposed to be below the surface of the grade. I don't see how it can pass as is. More than sloppy it isn't code compliant. Oh yeah, the OP paid for NEW material I would imagine (#6)
Raised covers for the recept's and wallplates for the switches, nice! :thumbsup:
The way they used the MC cable and BX's I am not too thrilled how they ran like that.
The switch box on the 3rd photo that is very sloppy work there and if someone put something on the wall like 2X4's or something else if get bumped it will pull them out of the swtich box that part i did see it before few time.
For me .,, Just run the dangbat place with EMT or PVC conduit and it will look heackva much nicer and with that set up i allready done many steel posted building like that { No exposed NM in the steel building which it is a common volitatons }
Question: You hired him, but did he actually do the work, or did he have one of his workers do it?
That is completely unenforceable... When I look at the pics, they look fine, just not my cup of tea.
Sloppy work.
I still think that maybe he had an apprentice do it....(?)
Why would you consider paying him until it passes. Right now you have him by the short hairs. If you pay him first do you think he will come back?

Ordinarily on a Sunday morning I probably wouldn't get up to travel to Wapping Market, a new pitch along Brussels Wharf that started at the end of June and really isn't close to where I live.
But Toby Allen, the man who runs its seriously brilliant sister Brockley Market, warned me his new project, billed as "Locally sourced seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables, meat fish and poultry, plants and flowers, ice cream, award-winning coffee, artisan bread, cakes, weekend treats, quality breakfast and brunches, charcuterie, cheese" could be rather special — and I'm glad I showed my face.
Winding out of Wapping station on a Sunday feels like I'm arriving on a film set before anyone's turned up: the converted warehouses are still buttoned up to outsiders and lonely signposts point you along the Thames Path. It's clean. It's quiet. Then as I pass The Prospect of Whitby, I hear the distant chorus of a market in full swing.
Wapping Market sits on a peninsula sticking out into Shadwell Basin; it's like a secret world just getting on with its own thing. Ecstatic shoppers wandering around with bags of green beans and flowers and punnets of plump English strawberries also queue up by street food stalls — there are sandwiches, burgers, pancakes, pizza and more — looking hungry. It manages to be twee and quite cool in equal measure.
We decide to split a Hix fish dog (£5), a fish-finger sandwich created by Kevin Gratton, Mark Hix's right-hand man, and basically a hot dog bun pasted with minted mushy peas, and a piece of lightly breadcrumbed and fried, flaky pollock. A spoonful of tartare sauce and a squirt of The Ribman's Holy F**k mayo give it both a lemony lift and heat. It's a very good warm-up.
Buttermilk fried chicken-in-a-bap with slaw and Korean hot sauce (£6) from Spit & Roast is satisfactory but should be eaten on its own rather than as a fish dog chaser. We buy wine, a delicate, strawberry scented Rosé du Grappin, purchased from Le Grappin stall where Andrew Nielsen sources artisanal wines from Burgundy and serves them by growler or refillable bottle (he also supplies Fera at Claridge's, Hibiscus and Restaurant Story). Next, to Cheeky Italian for a mighty slab of toasted focaccia with porchetta and caramelised onion (£6). In spite of its size, it's light, the peppery olive oil oozes out from the bread, and there are wisps of fennel, rosemary and thyme.
Our sweet teeth are satisfied by two gigantic doughnuts from a new trader, Crosstown Doughnuts. I loved the one oozing with apricot cream while the dough in the mango version was a little drier and in need of more filling.
What might be a lonely spot has been turned into a lively and useful place. I'm told 2,200 people passed through that day. I think it sings a new song for London markets, one to celebrate exceptional locally made food and produce and a striking setting in a regenerated part of the city. Allen has the magic touch.
Next to Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, Wapping Wall E1W 3SG (wappingmarket.com) Open Sunday 10am-2pm. Brunch around £12-£15 for two people, without drinksReuse content

Crape Myrtle Tree Roots
I have a large Crape Myrtle planted about one foot from my gararge. I am concerned that the roots will damage the foundation or siding. I have been told that the roots grow down and that I shouldn't worry. The tree is beautiful and I hate to cut it down, does anyone have any advise?
Not a Crepe Myrtle expert, but the ones I have do not have any surface roots. However, there is one that I chopped down and then had to dig around and I can tell you there are plenty of roots that run semi-parallel to the surface. But I have yet to encounter any large roots from a CM that was probably 10-15yrs old. IMO, you probably don't have to worry.

Ojon Hydrating Thickening Shampoo & ConditionerSet
While searching for the proverbial means to end all bad hair days once and for all...I bought into the hype of yet another expensive hair care product promising its users thicker, fuller looking hair. Ojon's conditioning serums and standard hair care products work fantastically -which is why I decided to give their thickening shampoos & conditioners a try. The problem with most volumizing hair care products is that it tends to leave my hair feeling like a rat's nest by day's end. But, unlike products of the past, this stuff delivered on its promise. Not only is my hair fuller and thicker looking, it's the healthiest it's ever been. Now I'm a loyal fan of the Ojon hair care line and my hair's never looked better!
A leave-in finishing treatment that performs like a hairspray. Genious!!Tags: beauty, Restorative, hair, sprays, glam, treatments, OjonAdded 7 Years Ago from Sephora

Parrot Bluetooth not working correctly
I installed the Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth and the Connects2 CTPPAR007 kit a few months ago and it has worked fine, but recently started giving me issues. A few days ago, it wouldn't work. I didn't pay close attention to what exactly was acting up as I needed to reroute some wires, and I figured unplugging everything and plugging it back in might fix it. It did fix it for a few days, but I am having issues again.
The phone shows that it is connected, however the stereo head unit does not beep or show "PHONE" when it connects. I can initiate a call from by phone, and other people can hear me, but the radio does not change to phone mode, and I can't hear anyone. The steering wheel buttons don't work to initiate or end a call.
Any ideas what is acting up? Is it the parrot kit, or the connects kit?

Patriots take a look at pass rusher
The New England Patriots worked out DE/OLB Phillip Hunt on Monday, a source confirmed.
Hunt, who also recently worked out for the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings, played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL the past two seasons.
Hunt (6-1, 248), who put up 19 sacks for the Blue Bombers over the past two seasons, is capable of playing defensive end or outside linebacker. His 16 sacks in 2010 led the CFL.
The Patriots have worked out 32 players this season, including 12 defensive players.

Auto-cleaning business Chattanooga Detail opened last summer, and owners David Hopkins and Beau Gilliland conquered their first winter, which is when business is slow. Now, they are hoping for an uptick in customers.
"Winter is a rough time for our industry, but we made it through," Hopkins said Monday. "Things are looking up."
Their business uses steam-cleaning technology, which takes less water and fewer chemicals than traditional methods. They offer a range of services from an exterior hand wash to a full detail.
They have recently added a $5 hand wash, rinse and air dry, Hopkins said. And prices for other services range from about $12 to $350, according to the business' website.
A wash and wax starts at $49.99.
The steam-cleaning package with interior detail starts at $119, Hopkins said.
Hopkins said that more people begin to think about cleaning their cars in the spring as they drive with windows or sunroofs open, and the increased amount of bugs and pollen also drives consumers to get their vehicles cleaned.
"Bugs contain organic acids and complex proteins that eat through your clear coat," Hopkins said. "It's important to remove that."
And cars can have more germs than a toilet seat, he said, so cleaning them is important.
Ron Montoya, consumer advice editor with Edmunds.com, said that keeping a car's paint and interior in good condition can help when reselling the vehicle, and it could help get a higher appraisal value.
"If the paint is in good condition, it's going to go a long way to selling your car faster," he said.
Montoya also noted that some of this work can be done at home, which may be less expensive.
Hopkins said he is looking forward to the warmer weather.
"We are hoping people will be more concerned about their vehicles and wanting to maintain it," he said.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
With the launch of our new FJ Apparel line we are often asked, "Who is contracted to wear the new FJ apparel on the PGA Tour?"
The answer is simple, "Steve Stricker."
That of course only tells a part of the story as several players like Jason Dufner, Brendon DeJonge, Jason Bohn, and Kris Blanks among many others choose to wear the apparel. Forgoing a formal contract, these players decidedly wear FJ apparel because they believe the performance benefits beat the competition.
For the full story click here : Players Pay FootJoy the Ultimate Compliment on GolfChannel.com
Click here for your chance to win the new FJ Performance Apparel
The proof is in the pudding! These guys could wear anything for a paycheck (ie Tobasco shirts!!!!) and they chose to wear the #1 Brand in Golf: FootJoy, The Mark of a Player. It rings true people!
Pretty impressive that all of these guys would forego sponsorship/contracts with other companies to wear FJ apparel. Speaks volumes... FJ is living the new slogan, Mark of a Player.
Nice preview of the Collections. Now we just need to get the FJ belt available in the US.
The first apparel collection from FJ is rapidly becoming a favorite! Great styling, wonderful fabrics, on trend color schemes, and of course the strong ties to the MyJoys shoes. How can you not go wild over this....
You gotta love the Hokies shirt - I need one of those in Large.
I thought you would like that one good sir!
Absolutely love the new apparel line and can't wait for mine to get here! Looking forward to great things to come from FJ Apparel.
Looks great! I love the two college shirts!
Love the add'l photos that weren't up earlier.
Love Dufner's outfit... styling!
The new FootJoy line of clothes is fantastic! It's no wonder guys want to wear FootJoy from head to toe.
Go Team FootJoy!
I can't say enough about the pics we have seen with the new line. The look is great. You have done a tremendous job expanding and improving every aspect. I can't wait to get my hands on a number of the new pieces. Now if we could get the belts/buckles to go with them.
Very nice collection. Hope it will be available soon.
Nothing but class, simple and pure!
Wish we could get the white pants that are available in uk
Very nice collection and am awaiting seeing it in the shops. Definitely is going to be a winner.

Sculptor's hawk statue provides representation of IUP mascot
At IUP this weekend the talk of the block was probably artist John McCombie's big bronze hawk. Haven't seen it? Feel free to stop and gawk.
If you want to have a look, take a walk through the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex and direct your eyes upward. The 700-pound casting is suspended about 30 feet overhead, just at the top of the grand stairway leading up to the mezzanine.
The casting is a gift to the university from McCombie and a few other local IUP supporters. McCombie said the university needed a tangible representation of its nickname and mascot, the Crimson Hawk, and he, for one, was glad to provide it.
"It humbles me to think that I had an opportunity to make something like that," said McCombie, a sculptor and painter who resides in Rayne Township.
A few IUP faithful got their first look at the casting Saturday during a private unveiling prior to Saturday's football game against Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. A few others who have already seen it said the bronze sculpture is spectacular.
"There are few words that adequately describe it, but I believe it will be a source of spirit and pride and will serve as the centerpiece for student and family photos for years to come," President Michael Driscoll told trustees last week, prior to the unveiling.
The casting depicts a hawk with wings out and legs outstretched as it readies to land on a perch.
McCombie said the project traces its origin to 2006, when the university was forced to adopt a new nickname by the NCAA. Until that time, IUP had been known as the Indians. But the organization took exception to the name and placed IUP, along with several other schools, on a sanctions list for using Native American nicknames or symbols.
Although IUP had stopped using Native American imagery in 1991, it was continuing to employ the Indian nickname but with a bear as a mascot.
McCombie said that he remains partial to the Indian nickname. However, he said he thinks the Crimson Hawk, which he had been advocating for, is a suitable replacement. As a bird of prey, it's a brave and fierce hunter, he said. And it mates for life, denoting loyalty.
But what wasn't suitable, he said, was the lack of a tangible icon standing for the nickname. So he set about to change that.
McCombie had been working on the project on and off for about a year and a half, sculpting the clay model used to form the casting. Although he sculpted the hawk, the casting was outsourced to a Colorado foundry, Lands End Sculpture Center.
The foundry cast the hawk using a process known as the lost-wax method. The end result was 100 to 150 bronze panels that were fitted and welded together, forming a hollow, three-dimensional sculpture.
Bill Speidel, vice president for university advancement, said the sculpture is an extraordinary gift to the university, one that that will provide a rallying point for students and alumni for years to come.
He said the decision was made to suspend the casting in the KCAC, as opposed to, say, perching it on a rock in the Oak Grove, in part because it ties in with McCombie's vision — a hawk about to land on a perch. He also said the Kovalchick Complex was an ideal spot because it has become the hub for university athletics.
The hawk is hanging from the ceiling by two stainless steel cables. Ray Wygonik, director of IUP's facilities engineering and construction group, said the university called in a structural engineer to design the suspension system for the sculpture.
He said the suspension system was designed with safety factors in multiples.
"The big thing is, it's safe," he said.

Dodge City, KS (DDG)
The former El Vaquero Harvey House and depot was built in 1898. Today the renovated structure houses a passenger waiting area, meeting space and a repertory company.

Annual Station Ridership (2016): 4,895

For information about Amtrak fares and schedules, please call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245).
The Amtrak stop in Dodge City is located at the former El Vaquero Harvey House and depot, a two story red brick Richardsonian Romanesque style structure built in 1898 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) and subsequently enlarged and altered.
Occupying almost two blocks, the structure included a passenger depot and railroad offices, as well as a hotel and eating house run by Fred Harvey. The "Harvey Houses," as they were known, dotted the ATSF tracks across the West. In the days before dining cars became common, passengers had to detrain in order to eat a meal at a trackside restaurant. The food was generally of poor quality until Fred Harvey revolutionized the offerings starting in the 1870s.
By the turn of the twentieth century, the ATSF and Fred Harvey had begun to build a series of trackside hotels in the Southwest that were meant to attract tourists and help generate money for both companies. The buildings often adhered to fanciful designs that looked to the region's American Indian and Spanish past. Drawing on these traditions, the railroad and Fred Harvey created resorts replete with a bit of exoticism that attracted tourists from across the United States and even abroad.
Faced with a decline in passenger rail traffic, many Harvey Houses were shuttered in the 1940s and 1950s–including El Vaquero, which closed in 1948. Portions of the hotel structure were used thereafter as railroad offices, while other areas were boarded up with all the furnishings and fixtures left in place. In 1996, BNSF Railway donated the depot to the city, and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
From 2000 to 2002, the depot and the El Vaquero/Harvey House restaurant were renovated with funding of $11 million through a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation and the U. S. Department of Transportation via the TEA-21 reimbursement program, as well as private donations gathered by the Boot Hill Repertory Company (now the Depot Repertory Company). The city also contributed $100,000 to the project in order to secure $400,000 in matching state transportation funds.
The 45,000 square-foot building has been completely rehabilitated to its early appearance, including rebuilding the platform. Great care was taken in restoring the brick, metal, limestone and sandstone exterior. The old hotel lobby, now the main gathering room, has been restored using many of the original fixtures, flooring, counter, woodwork and leaded glass windows. The Harvey House dining room has also been restored for use as a meeting space. The Amtrak station has been renovated as well through the process of adaptive reuse; the rest of the building houses the theater and workspaces.
In June 2013, Dodge City won $258,000 through the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Enhancement (TE) program to support further station rehabilitation work. Under the TE program, funds can be used for activities related to the preservation of historic transportation facilities, including depots. The grant will be put towards a long-term project to rehabilitate and replace the structure's doors, windows and soffits.
Dodge City is county seat for Ford County, Kansas, only blocks from the Arkansas River and the 100th meridian, in an area of complete prairie. From 1847 until 1882, a sequence of forts was built in the Dodge City area to protect travelers along the Santa Fe Trail, ending with the Army's Fort Dodge. Cattle ranching travel along the Santa Fe Trail and the approach of the Santa Fe railroad all encouraged people to settle and found Dodge City in 1872, just five miles west of Fort Dodge. The Santa Fe arrived in September of 1872 to find a town ready and waiting for business.
In 1883 and 1884, Dodge City experienced a boom as a Cow Town, due to it being the best place for cattle herds to meet the railroad. Cattle were being driven up from Texas to the railheads in Kansas; however it was thought that the Texas longhorns were spreading splenic fever via ticks to other cattle, and the Kansas state legislature moved a quarantine line across the state. In 1885, the quarantine was extended across the state, and by 1886, the cowboys, saloon keepers, gamblers, and brothel owners had moved west. Dodge City became a town like other agricultural communities in the area.
Later, it was learned the Texas cattle did not have the ticks on them, but rather the eggs were imbedded in the mud in their feet. The mud needed to be cleaned out and the threat of ticks would be eliminated. Dodge City successfully lobbied to repeal the quarantine years later, but the Texas cattle industry had already made other arrangements by routing the cattle to Missouri. This city never regained the cattle trade it once had.
As an archetypal town of the American Old West, Dodge City is also famous as the setting for the long-running radio and television western drama,Gunsmoke.
Amtrak does not provide ticketing or baggage services at this facility, which is served by two daily trains. Volunteers open the waiting room in time for the trains' arrivals.

Raising The Roof At U.S. HomeBy
Investment manager Ed Wachenheim looks for value stocks that are "dirt-cheap" but of "good to excellent quality." He pays particular attention to the quality of management. Based on the five stock picks discussed in this column over the past three years, his technique has done well: Mellon Bank achieved a 147% gain; disability insurer UNUM jumped 119%; Security-Connecticut life insurance, 61%; and Allmerica Financial, 29%. Even Ford is up a modest 14%.
The latest pick of Wachenheim, CEO of Greenhaven Associates in Purchase, N.Y., is U.S. Home (UH), a low-profile builder. Until lately, the company has been a wallflower. But to make itself more visible on Wall Street, it has arranged an all-day meeting with analysts on Mar. 5 at a retirement community that U.S. Home has built in Jamesburg, N.J.
"This event alone should kick up the stock, since it will be the first time that the Street will get a handle on how well U.S. Home is doing," says Wachenheim. The stock, now at 26 a share, should hit 40 to 44 by mid-1998, he figures, based on his 1998 earnings estimate of $4 a share. In 1996, U.S. Home earned $3.25, fully diluted. For 1997, Wachenheim sees $3.40.
Arizona, Florida, and Texas account for 53% of sales. The company develops retirement communities. Wachenheim expects that demand will grow rapidly as baby boomers age.
