So I've posted in the past about these 3 old condo buildings on the beach that I've been working for about 5 years now(since I started my business). They are the same and were finished around 1970. I've done many repairs, replacements, remodels, and normal fixes that come with time, but they have really had two big problems with plumbing. The first and worst is the 40+ cast iron is cracking and leaking all over the place. Very simple plumbing, small units. 4" main goes up 6 stories. At each unit, 4 X 3 wye picks up two bathrooms, goes through the floor, 3 x 2 reducer, picks up both lavs, back to stack to vent. The kitchens have dedicated stacks; they have needed repair, but not nearly as bad as the 4" mains and for some reason, the shower drains go.. Have yet to replace a tub drain. The second major problem is the kitchen lines are packed with grease. They go up 3", 3 x 2 wye picks up two units by means of a san T with inlets at 90 to each other. Many times, I wind up billing the unit owners for opening the lines, but the mains are so packed with grease and scale, you're just making a temporary hole until a tenant decided to use a disposer as a trash can, then it's plugged again. I've done jetting jobs on the kitchens stacks very successfully. Access is a pain. I have to crawl under the building, unband the cast at the bottom, then send the jetter straight up and "make it rain". I learned to use Tyvek suits after the first time. You guys can guess what kind of solid, black, chunky, rusty, fill in the blank comes out of those pipes!! I let it rip right into the sand as putting that into their old main(whose supports rusted and dropped the pipe into the sand) would only cause a different problem. Magically, once this is done, the drain calls for the cleaned stack seem to disappear.. AND, mind you, that's knowing that I can not steer the jetter nozzle into all the 2" that feed the 3". So far, I've been unsuccessful getting a jet nozzle to make the turns and go down the san T from the threaded copper connection. The thing is, the stack is the condo associations bill, so only they can approve of a stack cleaning. In December, I got called 2 times to a building for kitchen blocks. The second call, I asked if they wanted me to jet it or cable it. They knew how bad the stacks are and tired of calling drain cleaners, so they had me jet it. I sent the property manager a proposal to jet the others. I let them know I can give a better price by just doing them in one day rather than calling me out to the beach, set up, etc.for each one. End of January, another kitchen call, not the stack I cleaned. I spoke to the rep of the board about what he wanted to do. Said he never got my proposal, and what would it cost to do the other 5 stacks. Keep in mind, I've known this guy for years, he's watched me pull out many a pipe and amazed at what I can do with the jetter. He makes a few calls and gets back to me. Do the building. Sweet $$, but tough job. I managed to get the rest of the building in one long day, but I was wasted when it was over. Sore, tired, clothes headed for the trash even with the suits. I'm just getting ready to head for my truck when one tenant on a 1st floor unit says he's got water on his floor. I thought he was being petty about some blow back, but when I checked the unit, there was telltale black water under a laminate floor and some in the kitchen. This wasn't blow back or a loose trap, there was a crack or hole in the line. Surprise surprise. I let the guy know that he needs to get a cleanup service in there right away; they make many trips to these buildings. I made sure he called, not me. Then, the board rep walks in, looks at the floor and starts acting funny. "Who's going to pay for this?" I let him know up front, not me. He looks at me and says, "I never signed a waiver; if you asked me to sign a waiver, I wouldn't have signed it and let you do the job." Really? As soon as things went bad, he played dumb. Had no clue this could happen. Watched me pull tons of broken pipes out of the walls and paid thousands to fix it. Loved the jetter and how clean it got the pipes, but when he saw water on the floor... I didn't sign a waiver. I kept cool and left with a point to come back 1st thing next day(a Saturday). Opened the kitchen chase on the 1st floor and found three broken bands and a hole in the 3" just past the 1st 45. Fixed that, but water was still coming from above.(This is how all these stacks there are; you fix one section, it's leaking above you now). Opened the 2nd and 3rd floor. 3rd is dry and tight, the 2nd floor has a hole at the top. Pulled out a whole 6' section. Dry again, tight until..??? I sent them 2 bills, one for the cleaning and the other for the stack repair. I only charged them $750 to fix the stack. Had to make phone calls and emails to get paid on this. Finally, the envelope comes! The big check to clean the stacks and a letter: Dear Rich: We are in receipt of your invoice for the kitchen repair, etc, etc. that started to leak after the 5 stacks were jet cleaned. No waiver was presented to the board before you started to clean the stacks, if a waiver had been presented, in all likelihood we would not have proceeded in the cleaning of the remaining 5 stacks. The consensus of the board of ..... is to not pay this invoice.... What do you think of that? Has this ever happened to you? Do you ask customers to sign invoices? I'll try to attach pix of some of their kitchen stack pipes...
No announcement yet.

Re: I didn't sign a waiver!!
I gotta get some pix going..
The 1st pic is of a kitchen 3 X 2 wye from the building in question. The second pic is the bottom horizontal right after a solid plugged 90 in the next building over. The pipe plugged solid and there was no one in the 1st floor unit, so the water just kept pouring out of the sink for months. The unit had to be completely demoed. Let me see if I can post some of those pics..Last edited by richinflorida; 03-13-2014, 10:03 PM.
Re: I didn't sign a waiver!!
They are something-for-nothing garbage people. I have no feeling for them at all. They are nothing.
Anyone that's done this for 10 minutes knows that the world can fall apart without rhyme or reason the second you touch something. So they want you to put yourself in a 100% liability position and them in a zero liability position.....every time.
The "board" wants to make rules, play by them. A 100% liability position is $1,000.00 to drive into the parking lot. EVERY TIME. Or they can sign a waiver absolving your company and you privately from absolutely anything for a reduced rate. It's the rules they want, so play them.
Odds are you'll lose this client. Let them go. Anyone starting to act like this is right on the edge of trying to completely screw someone over. And you don't want to be that person. They'll get some other non-waivering person that will have something similar happen to them that happened to you.
Then they'll want them to remediate 5 units to like new condition while paying for tenants to live somewhere else with a meal allowance.
Make them sign a waiver for anything and/or pay on the next bill so much they lose their mind. You WANT to lose them. Fire them as customer.
To he!! with them.

Re: I didn't sign a waiver!!
I would think that they would work with you as you've done all their stuff over the years. but at the same time, they're playing the legal card. trying to catch you on a technicality.
I would try to work things out with them or your best contact there. if not you'll have to decide if you want to pursue it in small claims court.
it's a pain in the ***, but sometimes all it takes is a court subpoena to get them to talk.
took me 4 months to get an hoa agree to pay my medical bill and 3 hours of wages when their door fell off the hinges and clocked me in the head last November. they fought me over the dr's bill and 3 hours of lost wages. when in all honestly I lost a good week of work and 6 stitches to the head plus the pain and suffering. all I wanted was the dr's bill paid and 3 hours to cover my 2 dr's visits.
the day I was paying for the small claims court, was the day they decided to pay me what I originally asked for. I had already filled out all the forms to sue 4 different parties for the 10,000 max in small claims.
rick.phoebe it is
Re: I didn't sign a waiver!!
Thanks Bob; they are already fired. I already let the property manager know we don't do business with them any longer. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm cutting him loose as well. Also, I filed a suit in small claims against them. This cost me just over $200, which I may get back if the judge rules in my favor. Major pita to do this, they're probably going to be surprised I bothered, because they have done this to others in the past. At this point, it's about principal, not money. Major league psd off, but not going to do something stupid. When I 1st started there, the property manager told me, "Yeah, XYZ plumbing did most of our work in the past, but we don't use them anymore. We're looking for a new plumber and a guy like you could do really well here! It's a goldmine!" Well, come to find out a few weeks later that XYZ plumbing won't come there anymore because of a money dispute with the board. I was naive and cocky thinking they got rid of XYZ because they must not be cutting the mustard, treating people right, not cleaning up.. I'll show them. It's been 5 years and I have made some money there. Most of the people there are great and I hate to lose them as customers, but a few of these get high and mighty with the power and, well.. I was having lunch at a Chinese buffet years ago. Old woman almost walked right into me because she was staring at her plate not wanting to spill any food. I noticed she went back up to the buffet at least 2 more times while I ate; impressive since she looked no more than 100 lbs!! I was at the front counter paying for my lunch when she walked straight up to the counter and slammed her hand down on the glass countertop and yelled at the two Chinese workers behind the counter helping me. "That was the worst buffet I've ever had and I refuse to pay for it!!!" With that, she walked right out the door! The manager took down her license and called the cops. I'm not trying to pile on older people, but you can't walk into a restaurant, stuff your face for half and hour, then tell them it sucks and refuse to pay. You can complain, you can ask for a free meal, you can tell the manager you won't come back, but you can't just not pay. My point? Not my fault you're pipes are over 40 and coming apart. Agreed to clean them because they desperately needed cleaning. Best part is, they're lamenting me jet the lines because of two faulty sections of pipe(nothing new) yet, I wonder if after a year goes by with no kitchen clogs, they will call and thank me...
Re: I didn't sign a waiver!!
It is unfortunate but I do not think they will realize the value of your services until they have to call another plumbing company. You will have to threaten to file a mechanics lien to get paid, but I bet they pay up.

Whole apples can be fed into the patented centralized 75mm Stainless Steel feed tube, which delivers fruit direct to the center of the grating disc, enabling the unit to achieve a balanced high speed of 13,000RPM. This results in complete pulp ejection and up to 50% greater juice yield. A low speed of 6,000 rpm is used for soft fruits such as watermelon, or for noise sensitive environments. The unique lid molding is designed for optimum flow of pulp. Patents are pending on zones that reduce air velocity to ensure there is no leakage around the periphery of the lid. The 3.5 liter Pulp Container has an integrated handle and easily assembles to the unit with just two fingers. The Breville Filter Basket is dishwasher safe, made from a precision European Stainless mesh welded to a Stainless S
Serviceability: All internal components such as PCB, Motor brushes etc, are serviceable. In the case of a lid breakage, the stainless feed tube assembly can be interchanged.
Ergonomics: The intuitive nature of the design results in a product that is very easy to use, proof of which is that someone can use the unit with little or no instruction. Most of the parts simply drop into position. Visual cues are used for alignment of the filter basket to the drive coupling and orientation of the feed tube pusher. The lock-bar is positioned with one hand and exudes a sense of security. The pulp container can be pivoted into place with just two fingers (patents pending).
Safety: The locking bar progressively activates micro-switches that ensure the unit cannot be operated unless in a safe mode. If the lock bar is removed before the rotation has stopped, the unit dynamically brakes the basket within 4 seconds.

Questions on Breville 800JEXL Juicer -Breville's New Juice Fountain Elite Juicer
- From at 8/15/11 1:20 PM
- I want to know why my machine will not juice Kale and leafy veggies. It chops and spits them out. I have to take the chopped pieces and put them through my champion juicer...kind of defeats the purpose of having a so called awesome juicer?
- If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green
vegetables either wrap them together to form
a bundle or juice them in the middle of a
combination of ingredients on low-speed to obtain the best extraction.
If juicing herbs or leafy green
vegetables on their own, the
juice yield will be low due to
the nature of centrifugal juicing.
It is advised to juice them with
a combination of other fruit and vegetables.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From at 9/19/11 4:49 AM
- Is this the most current version of this model? Is it the one that has the second grater that does softer fruits like bananas?
- You are probably referring to the new Breville Juicer Dual Disc Juice Processor model BJE820XL. This is a different model than the 800JEXL but it has a second disc that purees soft fruits for 100% fruit smoothies.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From at 12/24/12 4:56 PM
- which breville juicer should i buy? or should i get an omega juicer? i am concerned with juicing kale and other fibrous greens...
- If you want to juice kale and other leafy greens, I would go with any Omega juicer in the 8000 series. This juicer can juice greens, but it is not very good at juicing leafy greens. The Breville juicer is great at doing crisp fruits and vegetables, but is not strong in the leafy green area.

Excellent Juicer Review by Quintin
I've owned this juicer for over three years and it still runs like its brand new! Breville makes great products. I love this juicer and I use it everyday! (Posted on 12/8/16)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes
awesome product Review by Alex
The Breville 800 has the following great features:
Big feed chute. You can process 3 regular size carrots at once or three medium apples or oranges (stacked in the feed chute). No cutting needed. The chute is 3" in Dia and 7" tall.
Disassembles quickly. No screws. Fits easily in the dishwasher.
The pitcher included has a spout opening, so there's no overspray. Additionally, the lid is made to separate the foam from the juice.
Never gets out of balance because it's and ejection style juicer. It still does a great job of extracting the majority of juice with the high rpm motor.
Last, it looks very nice on the counter with the stainless steel construction. (Posted on 6/4/16)

Healthy Living Review by ChefD
Very good juicer. I sent my our kids a picture calling it my wife's Royals Royce. In truth we juice together. She prepares the vegetable and a little fruit and I juice. If you get the counter wet the machine will slide. So far the hardest thing for this machine to juice is beats but it does it much better than the old Jack Lalanne. On high power this thing is a terror. (Posted on 4/23/16)

The juice is so tasty Review by Guest
Got the Breville Juice Fountain Elite a few days ago when our old juicer flew apart on day one of our juice fast. We love the easy cleanup and assembly of this model. It's handled everything we've given it, so far, and the juice is amazing. But, what's with the load bang every so often? Is that normal? It's a little worrying, especially after our last juicer flew apart on us. (Posted on 1/12/13)
Love my Breville Juicer Review by Guest
I have used my Breville Juicer for about a year now...yeah I have the beat of a different drummer BUT I have used this unit almost daily and WOW!! Easy cleanup, excellent quantity of juice. This is my first juicer after extensive research and I was very skeptical about juicers period. I appreciate the plug handle (would be nice on ALL electronics)and the brush for cleanup. I have even traveled with it. Great product, fast cleanup. When my son left, he had to leave MY juicer behind!! (Posted on 10/23/12)
Exceeded My Expectations Review by Guest
The only other juicer I ever had was a cheap one that I used once and gave away because it was such a mess. This juicer is so easy to use and clean. I just love the juice and have had a blast coming up with various veggie combinations. It has worked great for me. I feel good and have lost weight without even trying. (Posted on 4/30/12)
Awesome Juicer Review by Guest
This Juicer is the one for me ! The large opening fits a medium size apple with no problems at all. The power is amazing ! Cleans up easily too ! I would reccomend this juicer for beginner to advanced juicer ! (Posted on 10/4/11)
Love it!!! Review by Guest
Does a great job. Review by Guest
This 800JEXL Breville Fountain Elite is an excellent juicer. It has a wide enough opening that most fruits and vegetables can be juiced with little or no cutting before juicing. As a result, you can grab your ingredients and get juicing. This model extracts a high amount of juice and leaves kess waste than other juicers we've used. I have yet to find a juicer that is a breeze to clean, but this is the best one I've tried. There is no such thing as a quiet juicer, but the Breville is better than most. (Posted on 8/20/11)
Awesome Juicer! Review by Guest
Beautiful and Great with Hard Juice Items Review by Guest
The machine is great for apples, celery, lemons and such...but it will not juice leafy veggies such as Kale. It spits and chops them like a food processor...but no juice. I have to pick out the chopped Kale and feed it through my Champion Juicer. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a so called wonderful juicer. (Posted on 8/15/11)
breville fountain elite juicer Review by Guest
Bought from Everything Kitchens which was the cheapest price I could find - and it delivered quickly and arrived in perfect condition.
My husband and I have used it twice daily and have lost so much weight doing it - strangely enough you don't get hungry juicing - we juice when we feel hungry and go through a LOT of vegetables & fruit - it's easy to clean up and easy to use - our type of juicer. (Posted on 8/15/11)
Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer Review by Guest
Wow! This compact juicer is amazing. Compared to my old juicer, this is a dream; smaller, quieter, and easier to clean. It also extracts more juice from vegetables and fruit! So glad I made the investment in the Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer. (Posted on 8/4/11)
Best Juicer! Worth the money! Review by Guest
This is my second juicer after my first juicer (Juiceman JM480S) broke while juicing carrots after several months. I am so glad that I bought the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL juicer due to its huge feed chute, less noise and VERY EASY CLEAN UP (with the help of the large pulp container)! I also love the juice jug that that has a built-in froth separator and juice jug lid that helps prevent splatter during juicing. (Posted on 5/19/11)
Happy Review by Guest
We used to own a Jack La lane juicer and only used it once or twice before it collected dust and then we just tossed it. With the 800JEXL Breville Fountain Elite, we use this juicer almost every single day! It is so much easier to clean & assemble! For the most part, we get a good amount of juice but there are times when I remember thinking, " That's it? What a waste of fruit!" Still, I love it and will continue to juice almost every day! (Posted on 5/11/11)
Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer Review by Guest
I am happy with the overall performance of the 800JE Juice Fountain juicer, since it can take on so much pulp in the basket without having to clean it for every juicing, when you are making 4 to 5 glasses for several people. My only disappointment is that though it cuts through celery sticks and apples alike very quickly, it really is difficult to juice carrots straight easily. Demos make it look simple. So I thought I could just push them with the large push tube provided but since it's a basket w/small cutting blade, the carrot stops, slows down the juice machine and you have to slowly keep pushing the tube down several times until the very last, when it finally goes through at the very last, it's so quick no matter how careful, that it makes a big bang sound. Maybe this is normal for most juice machines, but I thought for such a large machine, like this Breville juicer, the cutting blades would be more commercial grade or stronger.
Editor's Note: Did you use the high speed? With the Breville Juicers, the low speed is not good for carrots, but only for things like strawberries, kiwi, and other softer fruits and vegetables. On high speed, the 800JEXL should never stop juicing carrots. (Posted on 5/11/11)
Great Juice Review by Guest
Love this 800JEXLJuicer by Breville. It's pretty easy to clean compared to other juicers. You will have to invest time to clean juicers, so keep that in mind. Besides that, I can juice almost everything in the Breville Juice Fountain. I bought this and my Vitamix and then they came out with the new combo machine which has the blender and juicer. I would recommend this to friends. It is a bit noisy, but keep in mind any device you have that has serious power is going to make noise. (Posted on 5/11/11)
Breville Juicer 800JEXL Review by Guest
Super easy way to detox and feel great!! Review by Guest
This juicer is the bomb! My last one was 10+ years old and simply didn't have the thoughtful design and high-powered motor. If you've never juiced before you will be amazed by your creations... I've always loved veggies and fruits, but this juicer unleashes a tidal wave of incredible taste that you will not experience when you eat them whole. It reminds me of the first time I had a Jelly Belly. How did so much flavor get into such a tiny thing? (Posted on 6/15/10)
Breville Juice Fountain - Great Juicer Review by Guest
This is a great juicer. I haven't had any results as good as some claim. I get about 4 oz. of juice out of an average size orange, but I think that is good. Juicing carrots and other vegetables I get about 2 1/2 cups of juice instead of 2 cups with my last juicer. I have owned a Juiceman, Omega, Green Star and L'Equip but the Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer is by far my favorite. I'm sure all the Breville Juicer models are good but I went with the Juice Fountain primarily because I wanted the largest pulp container I could get. I juice 1 quart or so a day and I only have to empty the pulp container once every 3-4 days. The last juicer I had, had to be emptied with every 2 cups of juice. The Breville Juice Fountain Juicer is the easiest to clean of any juicer I've had. I only have 2 complaints. The cord is short (40 in.). They say it's for safety but it comes out of the juicer on the front side which makes it harder to reach a receptacle. If they had just but it in the back it would reach better and wouldn't have been a safety issue in the first place. The other complaint is that it would be nice if the pitcher was sealable, but there are holes in the lid so you have to cover it with something or use another container if you have any extra juice. The froth separator works very well. The juicer is also rather tall, about 16 1/2 in., but I have a frozen shoulder and it hasn't been an issue for me. These are very minor issues and regardless, I love this juicer. (Posted on 2/18/10)
Thrilled with My Juicer!!! Review by Guest
Amazing!!!! Unbelievable!!! Great Juice!!! Review by Guest
I was totally amazed the first time I used my juicer. I juiced one(1) orange and poured 3 cups of juice. Lots of juice and very little waste (pulp), and the pulp I did have was so dry, it was unbelievable. I was also amazed there was very little noise to the motor, and clean up a breeze. I have tried other juicers, but nothing compares to the Breville 800JE. (Posted on 10/13/09)
800JE Breville Juicer Review by Guest
I just received my Breville 800JE juicer 1/26/09. It's the greatest. For those who think that cleaning a juicer is difficult, well this one is really easy...especially because its stainless steel. If you think it's difficult, its only because your lazy. I love my juicer. What a difference the Breville Juicer makes over a cheaper juicer I purchased years ago at Kmart or somewhere like that. This one is very easy, taste great...can't wait to buy more fruits and veggies so I can juice more stuff. (Posted on 1/29/09)
It's the best and most well engineered Juicer. Review by Guest
Best Juicer I have ever used! Review by Guest
I have been Juicing for 7 years and I recently purchased the Breville Juicer 800JE.I am very pleased with it. The juicer I was prior to this purchase broke it was not bad but my juices were very frothy, I got a lot of pulp in the basket & the juice container was not large enough for me. Cleanup is a breeze with the Breville 800JE. I am very happy. (Posted on 12/5/08)
There must be better juicer for the home user Review by Guest
Very noisy!
Editor's Note: Any juicer w/ 1000 watts of power will be a little bit noisy. This Breville juicer is one of our best juicers for the home user who wants a fast and efficient way to juice fruits and vegetables due to it's high power. It will be a little bit noisy though due to the high amount of power. (Posted on 8/11/08)
There is no better juicer for the home user Review by Guest
I've been using this Breville juicer for a month now, and I'm completely happy with it. The juicer is fast, efficient, and a snap to clean. It is built to last--You just don't see appliances built to this standard any more. Pricey, but in this case you definitely do get what you pay for! (Posted on 7/31/08)

CBS' "Under the Dome" hit a series low Monday opposite ABC's concluding hour of the season's "The Bachelorette." It's unclear how much the Eye's blackout on Time Warner Cable in three major cities was a contributing factor, but ratings were noticeably lower in both Los Angeles and Dallas this week.

The reason for being there? A weekend of antenatal tuition with Jean and Sam. They are trained antenatal nurses, have 362 children between them, wear matching outfits and offer a chance to learn a lot about babies while enjoying nice buffet lunches and two nights in a hotel with big showerheads and fancy bathrobes. It's not exactly NCT in a draughty village hall, and for a nanosecond I felt bad. But that's the point about a nanosecond, isn't it? Doesn't last long.
On Friday night we bonded with the other couples on the course, while Jean and Sam handed round a sack of potatoes suspended in a pair of tights - this represented the weight of a baby in the womb, and was designed to impress and scare our men, who were sadly conforming to some weird, Loaded stereotype and asking each other about which cars they were going to buy and how they'd faint in the delivery room. The ladies were comparing bumps, stories of indigestion, and each other's men. Low, nonexistent and "Thank God I'm not with him", in case you're wondering.
Saturday was spent in a conference room learning acronyms such as UFO (Upright, Forward and Out - best position for labour) and TRANSITION (the change from first to second stage of labour - something along the lines of Tired, Rest if you can, Angry, Nauseous, Swearing, Irritable ... you get the drift). That night, we dined with friends who were also on the course, and managed to talk about something other than labour for three and a half minutes. But we only made the leap as far as David Blunkett and his DNA company shares coup.
By Sunday, our heads were hurting in a way that only conference rooms, motherhood and too many tea breaks can provoke, but we all cried at a video of someone else's birth, and wished each other luck with the mini population boom that will happen sometime in January. As the first long night of winter drew in, we ended the course with what Jean and Sam called Pelvic Line Dancing. There is no point me trying to describe this; you had to be there. But if you're thinking of a Little Britain sketch yet to be written, you're not far off the mark ...

he shouldn't have been dropped for Grosjean at Lotus/Renault and Williams should have Kept Barrichello and signed Senna... keeping Maldonado is ridiculous... he may bring money but he isn't anything special.

AT&T Chief Financial Officer John Stephens is putting a brave face on his company's beleaguered bid to acquire T-Mobile. Speaking at the UBS Conference on Global Media in New York City on Wednesday morning, Stephens promised that the telco would "continue to move forward" with its efforts "to complete the T-Mobile transaction."
[partner id="arstechnica"]AT&T and T-Mobile owner Deutsche Telecom are "motivated to complete a transaction and we continue to pursue the sale," he confidently told the conference panel.
"Not much more that I can tell you this morning, but it's important to remember why we did this deal in the first place," Stephens added. "It's for our customers. It's a solid, strategic move that will help us provide better service, while addressing the spectrum concerns that everyone in the industry shares."
But listening to the whole conference Q&A with Stephens, a bystander might get the impression that AT&T has at least half an eye on the exit doors, given this obliquely worded proclamation:
As I said before, we are going to continue to work with our partner DT, Deutsche Telekom, and work toward a resolution of the transaction. Those conversations, as they occur, if and when they occur, and as they occur with the Department of Justice, will be kept confidential out of respect for them and for our partners and in hopes to improve the opportunity for the process to be successful.
One doesn't want to go overboard, tea leaf reading-wise, but "if and when they occur"? Here's a quick recap of recent merger drama events.
Continue reading 'AT&T Says It Won't Back Down On T-Mobile Acquisition' …
Unprecedented in scale
Two weeks ago AT&T withdraw its merger application from the Federal Communications Commission, following the agency's decision to transfer the bid to an administrative law judge. The FCC move was widely interpreted as a sign of the Commission's disapproval of the $39 billion buyout. The AT&T retreat was widely seen as an effort to avoid the publication of an internal staff report on the proposed acquisition.
Alas (for AT&T) the FCC released the document anyway, which did not mince words. "By combining these two nationwide providers, the proposed transaction would result in an increase in both subscriber and spectrum concentration that is unprecedented in scale," the document warned. Not only would the merger "lead to a substantial lessening of competition," but it would also generate a "net loss of direct jobs."
The wireless giant didn't shave the rhetoric in its response to the FCC move, either. The report "lacks all credibility," said senior executive vice president Jim Cicconi, and is "so obviously one-sided that any fair-minded person reading it is left with the clear impression that it is an advocacy piece, and not a considered analysis."
But whatever you think about this matter, if AT&T wants to continue its bid for T-Mobile, it is going to have to joust with the Department of Justice, which is suing to stop the transaction. Another revealing artifact from that theater of combat surfaced on Tuesday, when a judge considered a request by LightSquared to "quash" a subpoena for deposition from AT&T.
Yes, Master
The "Master Order" doesn't say why AT&T wants LightSquared to be deposed, but it does reveal what LightSquared lawyers argued regarding the request.
"Because AT&T does not currently have an application pending before the FCC, and because FCC approval is a prerequisite to completing the proposed merger," the summary explains, "LightSquared argues that it is unduly burdensome to force it to undertake the inconvenience and expense of a deposition while the future of the deal is uncertain."
The proceeding's "Special Master" in question—Richard A. Levie—sympathized with this line of argument, but only up to a point. His opinion admitted to being "sensitive" to LightSquared's concerns. "The recent activity before the FCC raises the specter of an alteration of the course of the proposed merger."
Levie also mentioned a DoJ observation that, based on recent AT&T comments, the current litigation may, "in fact, not present a live case or controversy."
But live or not, a case is a case, Levie added:
LightSquared's reluctance to expend resources on depositions in a case to which it is not a party and which it believes may not reach trial is understandable. Nevertheless, the potential for an out-of-court resolution is too uncertain to rise to the level of undue burden… Unless or until the status of this case changes, the parties and non-parties subject to otherwise valid subpoenas have an obligation to proceed.
Money not a problem
It is in this context that Stephens made his remarks at the UBS conference. He made much of the fact that AT&T has $10 billion on its balance sheet ready for completing the T-Mobile transaction. That and more, in fact.
"The accumulation of cash is clearly there to prepare us for the T-Mobile closing and to allow us to do that very easily," Stephens said. "If you are also familiar with our capacity we have a $20 billion bridge facility… and we an $8 billion backup facility that's in place today that backs up commercial paper and we haven't drawn on any commercial paper. So we clearly have an ability to close the deal very quickly and have those resources. That's the plan."
But then came this codicil, a reference to AT&T's proud 27-year history of dividend performance. "We're still very committed to getting the transaction done," said Stephens. "On another side of that question though":
I think the people in this room know that the Board decides our dividend, and our dividend policy. They are the ones who approve any changes in our dividend schedules and amounts, but we have a 27-year record. We think and understand that it is an important part of what our shareholders receive, and we have positioned ourselves very well to act upon that Board of Director decision.
After all, $10 billion "is a lot of money," AT&T's CFO noted. He'll get no argument from us on that, nor from the Special Master that this is obviously a very fluid situation.
"The federal court case remains on track with a scheduled trial date of February 13, 2012," judge Levie's document concludes. But another status hearing is scheduled for Friday at 9:30am.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
so what you are telling me is. if we do nothing with the trust and let it play out when our parent pass we the beneficsere will be stuck with this tax. on any thing we recieve over the 2 million exclusion. of there estate. can my parents have not gifted anything up till now. how do they change there trust?this is all new to us.
it is a revocable trust and all my parent assets are in it. we set it up this way because we did not worry about gifting or transfering it into our names because
we could not protect it because our mom is already in a nursing home. my dad with the cash rnt and long term care can support his and her needs. that why he want to just pass it on through the trust. so are we okay if we let it play out
You originally mentioned irrevocable trust - may be that is a typo. With revocable trust - which is basically ignored upon the settler's death - transfer into the trust makes no difference.The trust will become irrevocable after the settler's death - and you will be able to continue maintain the trust and use the farm owned by the trust. Generally - family farms are excluded from Minnesota estate tax - there a limit of $5 million per person. So far - nothing to worry - if you do not want to transfer thr ownership into your name.
Only if you plan immediately transfer the title to yourself - you need to do that before June 30 - otherwise I think - just let it go to the trust - and you will keep the trust after your parents will pass away.
Sorry - I have to step out - please keep posting - I will be back and will address all your concerns.
sorry for the mistake. thank you for help now i think i understand we will just leave it as setup now, because my parents wishes were to pass it down in the trust. he does not want to gift it to our names. so it should not affect us correct
did you see my post from 11.01 that should be my last thanks
i will check for your response in an hour thanks
Sorry for the delay... If your parents plan to pass the property to you as part of their estate - gift tax would not be an issue.In this case - a property will be subject of estate taxes. Generally each person is able to pass tax free to beneficiaries $1,000,000. However additional $4,000,000 exemption is allowable for estates that include a small business or farm. So - each of your parents will be able to pass $5,000,000 before estate tax liability woudl be in effect.You may take a look at this new law here - see page 28 - http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/bs/88/HF0677.pdfSee on page 30 - Qualified farm property definition.Minnesota Department of Revenue will issue detailed publication - but so far nothing is available yet.
thank you for all your help. very satisfied

BMW X1 confirmed for US in 2011
It was confirmed today that the BMW X1 is planned to debut in the United States in calendar year 2011. The X1 has been conceived with the flexibility to offer traditional rear-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive configurations, as well as a wide variety of gasoline and diesel powertrain choices. In light of rapidly evolving US market demands, fuel prices, and regulatory standards, elements of the X1's US launch plan, including engine and drivetrain configurations, will be forthcoming closer to the time of launch.
The BMW X1 will debut in Europe this fall with a choice of four engines - one gasoline and three diesels - and will be available in rear-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive configurations. The X1 will set new benchmarks in the premium compact segment for efficiency, comfort, utility, and of course driving dynamics. Achieving up to 5.2 L/100km (45.2 miles per US gallon) on the European test cycle, the BMW Advanced Diesel-powered X1 sDrive18d will provide remarkable fuel efficiency while still achieving a top speed of 200km/h (124mph). Each drivetrain choice for the X1 will showcase the latest results of BMW's EfficientDynamics engineering strategy, which is focused to reduce emissions and consumption while enhancing the performance expected of any BMW.

Yesterday we had snow, rain, sleet, and a thunder storm. My girlfriend stood and stared all day at the window.
Feeling a little guilty today being valentines day and all, I should have let her in the house last night.
Say NO to guilt Joe. You can always toss out a crust of bread or something
When a girl friend beaks up with you and says she still wants to be friends is like having your dog die and saying that's OK we can still keep him around.
Nothing mends a broken heart faster then getting a new dog. Besides you still have us:yes:
Jack Black used to work well for me:wink:
Just heard on the news this morning -
Over 75,000 flights canceled, so far this year!
A record.
Planes, trains and automobiles. Have you seen that movie with Steve Martin. One of my favs. Steve is trying to get home for Thanksgiving and has a hilarious trip. Might want to find it if you can.
Not a bad movie!
With John Candy! :)
I miss him REAL bad along with John Belushi. Thank God for U Tube. Try find the "Roy's food repair" skit John Candy did. It is hilarious.
"Barf" (Space Balls - Candy) and "Bluto" (Animal House - Belushi) -
One time a painter friend of mine decided to stretch the paint on a exterior house painting project. He began to water down the paint and had finished up one side of the house. Suddenly a thunderstorm hit the area and the heavy rains washed off all the watered down paint from the side of the house. As the storm moved on, a voice from the heavens boomed, "Repaint and thin no more." True story.
The Blues Brothers ( timeless worldwide classic ). Try see the unedited version as the Blues Mobile has special powers and they show you how it got them. Heck, I was in Holland staying with friends and it is hilarious to see it dubbed into Dutch. Just like Elvis every country has them/impersonators.
Least you should have done is close the blinds!:whistling2:

National Opera wins sign language award
The Finnish Association of the Deaf acknowledges the National Opera's support as part of Sign Language Day celebrations.
The Association of the Deaf's 2012 Sign Language Award acknowledges an organisation or individual's contribution towards the advancement of the rights and status of sign language as a language of Finland.
According to the Association, the National Opera is being given the nod for its ground-breaking sign language interpretations of Purge, Carmen and Rigoletto. A sign-friendly performance of Robin Hood is also on the drawing board for this operatic season.
The Award will be presented to the National Opera's artistic director, Mikko Franck, this afternoon as part of national Sign Language Day celebrations at Valkea talo in Haaga, Helsinki. The event will also celebrate the release of a revised and extended version of the online Finnish sign language dictionary, Suvi, the first version of which came online ten years ago.
February 12 was chosen as Finland's National Sign Language Day to honour the birthday of Finland's father of the language, C.O. Malm.
According to the Association for the Deaf, there are around 14,000 sign language users in Finland.

Vintage Pencils
The modern pencil was born in 16th-century England, where, in Cumbria, a major deposit of graphite was found. Today, a pencil museum in Keswick honors the site, the cottage pencil industry that followed, and the area's claim to fame as the place where the first pencil factory was founded in 1832.
The earliest pencils had square graphite cores. A strip of solid graphite would be cut to fit into a groove that had been channeled out of a piece of wood. The graphite would be glued in place, hand-trimmed to remove excess graphite, and then a second piece of wood would be glued on top so that the graphite, which is soft, was fully enclosed. The wood would then be smoothed, polished, and varnished to bring out the grain.
In 1795, a Frenchman named Nicholas Jacques Conté figured out how to mix powdered graphite with clay so that the material could be formed into rods that would be hardened when fired. This was not only a breakthrough in production, it also allowed pencil makers to vary the quality of the mark made by the rod—the greater the percentage of graphite to clay, the softer the rod and the darker the mark.
The first American pencil was made in 1812 by a Massachusetts cabinetmaker named William Monroe. Joseph Dixon was another early American pencil maker—his company's Ticonderoga pencils are the gold standard today.
As the production of wooden pencils evolved, a new type of pencil was introduced in 1822. It was a mechanical pencil, the co-creation of English inventors Sampson Mordan and Gabriel Riddle.
Mechanical pencils pushed their graphite rods to the pencil's point, and held them there, through a variety of means. Some were spring-loaded, others used a twist-feed mechanism, and many more advanced their graphite via an internal ratchet.
For collectors, wood and mechanical pencils alike are equally irresistible. Some collect wooden pencils for their brands—in addition to Dixon, there's Eberhard Faber, W. Staedtle...
For fans of mechanical pencils, the slide- and screw-mechanism pencils from the early part of the 19th century are highly prized, as are the combination pen-pencils from later that century. Some had a pencil on one end and a pen on the other but the combinations made by manufacturers such as Mordan and Fairchild often paired pen and pencil at the same end of writing implement.
Miniature mechanical pencils were also popular. They were typically decorated with celluloid or enamel cases. Some telescoped, others were built into pocketknives. In the early 20th century, Vickery's in London carried everything from tricolor pencils to ones with calendars on their cases (these were likely made by Mordan).
By the middle of the 20th century, even Tiffany and Cartier had caught the pencil bug, although Hicks and other manufacturers were the actual makers of these pricey pencils designed in Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Yard-O-Led and Wahl-Eversharp cased their pencils in metal and hard rubber, while Sheaffer and Waterman used some of the new hard, colorful, plastics of the day.
Advertisers put their logos and slogans on mechanical pencils, especially during the 1930s and 1940s. But the true trove of advertising pencils are the wooden ones, precisely because they were so cheap to produce, making them cost-effective to give away.

No super waves, but there was good body surfing to be had, and it was just so beautiful and we hadn't gotten de-sensitized yet. After lunch (at Burger King, where the trash cans say "MAHALO" instead of "THANK YOU" – awesome), we went on another hike. Noticing a trend here? This time we hiked along the old Pali Highway, which hugs the East side of the mountains that run through the center of the island. More great views here, and a lot more jungle scenery than the pillbox hike. At one point we had to climb down a rope to go under the current Pali Highway, which was interesting. The hike starts at the aptly-named Pali Highway lookout, and ends at a golf course at the base of the mountains. It is hard to imagine cars, and especially large trucks sharing this tiny road! The road is only two lanes, and barely even that – with rock faces on one side and dizzying dropoffs on the other, no wonder they built a new highway to replace this one!
In the evening, we drove over to Ko Olina to go snorkeling. Ko Olina is a big resort on the south west corner of the island, but since all beaches in Hawaii are public, you can get into the resort and use their beached for free. Also, they have a big Luau at the resort, and bus people in from Honolulu for it and everything (big $$). However, the luau takes place right by the beach. So, you can stand on the public beach and watch the luau for free. No buffet, but whatever! We didn't stick around for the luau, though, as we wanted to get some snorkeling in before dark. While we were out, we saw a number of sea turtles, which was cool – I had never seen them in the water before. We would go turtle watching sometimes home in Melbourne when they come ashore to lay their eggs (always being careful not to keep them from laying those eggs), but it was good to see them in the water. Unfortunately, there was some sort of film all over the coral, and it was overcast, so it wasn't spectacular snorkeling.

Dear members,
I got rejected today for my submission of a WordPress theme for the second time, and i must say i am starting to be depressed because i have left my job two month ago to work as a freelancer.
I know many of you might have passed through this when you first started, and your feedback would be really appreciated at this moment.
I have searched through the forum, and i realized it was always the same "abstract" rejection reasons that were given.
For my second submission, i have taken in account all the details the reviewer had noted (i had asked for a follow-up the first time). I am now out of inspiration.
Now i am completely lost and afraid lose my submission privilege if it is rejected for the third time.
Here's a link to the live demo, please tell me what you think about the design, what makes it not unique ?http://www.lesfeuillesmortes.com/
I am always hooked to the new additions to see the tendancies and i often realise that some templates feature much less options than mine, with even lower quality design (in my opinion) and get approved.
What do you think ?
Overall it kind of looks like bit's and pieces from different styles of design all thrown together that don't come together well as a whole.
Just look at all of the different style of buttons and icons you are using to get an idea of what I'm talking about. There is no cohesive feel between just those elements alone.
You should focus less on features and more on design right now.
I think your design has some real unique things in it. I really like some of the things that you have done. I do see some typography problems in it but nothing to serious that can't be fixed. I think your design is nice and will be accepted. As for the rejections. Just keep working on the things that the reviewer told you was wrong. Respond to the reviewer and ask real nicely when they might have time if they could give you more detail as to what to fix. Don't be discouraged. I worked on coding a design for an author that was rejected 6 or more times. I just kept working on it, improving it according to the rejection letter and finally after 6 or 7 times it ended up in a soft rejection which meant that I had one little issue to fix and it finally got approved. Just keep going until they accept it. It doesn't cost you anything to submit it for review. Don't give up!
Hey! don't lose hope!
When I started here, I had quit my job too.. my first theme had 8 rejections and I was so disheartened, I just gave up and threw that theme in the trash bin. I had to face the truth that my design wasn't good enough and got started with a new one. My 2nd design got rejected I think 4 times, but finally got through afterwards and it was worth it! My third theme was rejected once, and it was a soft rejection since I forgot to theme-check it using the plugin's latest version
I don't consider myself to be a good designer, but here's a tip I learned from designing themes: Just find a single main design element then exploit it, then just design everything else to complement it.
As for your design, I'd have to agree with SplitV. The theme looks like two or more themes joined together. For one, try scrolling to the top of the page in the front page, look at the design, then scroll to the bottom and check out the design.. it kinda looks like you're viewing 2 different designs. The feel for the icons are different, and the color schemes are different. This is also prevalent with other elements when checking out the other pages; for example, the comments section in blogs doesn't merge well with the design.
Here're the other small stuff that's bothering me:
- The round thumbnails of the slider are too big, they need more contrast and they're placed too far on the edge.
- The title and subtitle in the slider needs some styling, right now they're just plain gray text on black floating divs. Add some typography and maybe colors.
- The images in the "From the blog" area are not aligned properly in my screen. The plus button is outside the content area. I don't quite like the the hover effect and the text that shows up here and the portfolio page also.
- The footer and its elements have too much contrast unlike the rest of the design
- Some of the line-heights seem to be off. For example, the "Learn more here" button is a bit too low, and the footer links beside the copyright text are too high.
- The tabbed posts widget (popular, comments and tags) needs to look like the other widgets.
- The portfolio page has too much free space
- Columns in the column shortcode need more spacing between them, currently they're only like 5-10px apart
Thanks a lot mates !
6 or 8 rejections for some of you, i didn't think it was possible !
@ SplitV : I think this is what the reviewer means by unique. I had not realised the actual design could give this impression ! Thank you for the tip, I now have a better view of where i might head.
@ CyberShot : thank you for the encouragements !
@ bfintal : thank you for all the points, i will go through them carefully ! I really appreciate it !
All in all, what does good Typography mean ? Is it a matter of color, of space, of size ? For sure it is a mix of all of these, but i can't manage to see what's wrong, maybe because i have seen the template thousands of time.
Also, what about spacing ? Do you recommend much spacing ? In my opinion the visual hierarchy comes with elements not too close from each other.
Here are a coupe of good website with info about typography;http://ilovetypography.com/

Opening Remarks and Plenary Session: The Aftermath of WikiLeaks
Moderator: Lucy Dalglish, Executive Director, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
Confirmed Panelists:
David McCraw, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel, The New York Times Company
Has WikiLeaks had a damaging effect on freedom of information and thus on our democracy? Are journalists and media organizations doing enough to ensure that the government and other power brokers do not undermine the freedom of the press in response to these events? To what extent has WikiLeaks highlighted important areas in which even greater security for government secrets is required?
David McCraw helped guide the New York Times newsroom in publishing the confidential cables leaked by WikiLeaks. Now he fears that the government is drawing the wrong conclusions from these events, and believes that government secrets, not disclosure of those secrets, are the greater threat to democracy.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has started its own crowdsourcing site, SafeHouse. How has WikiLeaks changed the way in which our society looks at journalists, and how journalists look at themselves?

But do you have the rights necessary to transfer your content to this new platform?
- What exactly is geolocation?
- What legal risks accompany the use of geolocation data for content tailoring?
This session will discuss these and other issues arising from the use of mobile technology to distribute content and interact with users.

Is Recording in Public a Crime? Mobile Devices and Newsgathering
Moderator: Jeffrey Hermes, Director, Citizen Media Law Project
Confirmed Panelists:
Valerie Cummings, Assistant Professor of Broadcast Journalism, Howard University
Carlos Miller, Multimedia Journalist and Blogger, Photography is Not a Crime
Mickey H. Osterreicher, General Counsel, National Press Photographers Association
In Massachusetts, a man was arrested for wiretapping after he used his cell phone in broad daylight in a public park to record an arrest, and a woman was arrested on her own property for photographing a car that crashed through her fence. In Miami Beach, police officers pointed their weapons at a man sitting in his car who had just videotaped the officers shooting another man, and seized his camera. The new Illinois Eavesdropping Act prohibits audio recording of others in public without their permission, even if there is nothing secret about the recording and those recorded have no legitimate expectation of privacy.
- Can the First Amendment possibly allow this?
- And what does this mean for journalists who try to cover public officials and gather news in public places?
The panel will explore these recent events, including the recent decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Glik v. Cunniffe, and discuss best practices for responding to such incidents.
