BREAKING NEWS: Paddy Power wins fight to sky tweet on Sunday
A furious political battle has raged behind the scenes as sports fans lapped up three glorious days of golf highlighted by heavenly sky tweeting from Paddy Power.
Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam went on a one-man crusade to bring an immediate end to Paddy Power's Ryder Cup sky writing initiative.
Roskam, a member of the Republican Party, threatened legal action on Sunday to prevent Paddy Power continuing the sky tweets today – going as far as to suggest that the pilots themselves may be arrested.
Paddy Power took to the clouds above the Medinah Country Club on Saturday to deliver the world's first 'sky tweet' campaign in support of Team Europe at the tournament. We relayed a series of cheeky messages including 'God wants Europe to win', 'Do it for Seve' and 'Anyone seen Tiger?'
In response, congressman Roskam's secretary contacted a regional airport stating that our pilots would be met by the local authorities should they fly again.
Subsequently, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) stated they received a complaint regarding offensive sky-writing from an unspecified congressman and that a congressional inquiry would be started. However, all that has been levelled at the pilots so far is a paperwork technicality as a thin reason as to why the planes may be stopped from delivering messages over Medinah today.
But at 4pm on Sunday, Paddy Power got the all-clear to take to the skies again.
Roskam's actions were at odds with Team USA captain Davis Love III who commented last night:
Hey, it's working good for us; we keep winning holes. I'm just disappointed that they stopped, because if they'd have kept doing it all afternoon, maybe our roll would have kept going
Millions of Ryder Cup viewers enjoyed clips of the witty sky-writing at regular intervals of Saturday's television coverage – with the campaign trending on Twitter for most of the day. Paddy Power's twitter feed (@paddypower) called on European supporters to submit messages with the hashtag '#GoEurope', a selection of which were 'sky-written' by stunt pilots flying at 10,000ft in the world's first Twitter campaign of its kind.
Paddy Power will continue the sky-writing campaign for Sunday's final day of play. Paddy received over 2000 messages yesterday in response to the call-out for supportive tweets. Paddy Power said: 'The congressman seems be to suffering from an incredible sense of humour failure. Maybe he got a knock on the head from one of Tiger's wayward golf balls yesterday!"

Re: Mutiny at Dawn - Transpac Race 2013
Sorry for the delay. Wifey had work for me to do at home
Here is the second part and more stuff (pics and others) will follows
Day 13, July 20
It was exhausted and very tensed day yesterday. Jake and I felt good the new outlook, but remained caution, just because Harrys split personality and temper. Last night decent wind with 6 to 7.5 SOG running autohelm . We did good and doing more than 150 nm. 728 nm to go.
Today it was the first morning that there was no wild gybe overnite after the physical confrontation yesterday, and we use my own sat phone to inform CG. It was the first morning that I did not need to risk my life on deck to unwrap the spinnaker.
@10 am: I catch up my daily log. After the call to USCG, and be advised to deescalate the confrontation. Me and jake sat in the v-berth discussing our option. We are not immediately in danger, although physical violence has erupted. We are too far from Helo range. Our love ones and the CG know own side of the story. If anything happens to us, they have the lead. They know our sails have been compromised and water tanks were not up off. Water will eventually become an issues. The CG knows our GPS tracking URL.
Now we just have to survive and take to boat the Hawaii. I opened the door and saw Harry sat on the Navigation table. I informed him that we just spoke to the USCG and emails the details to my secretary and Jakes friends. My secretary and his friend were in voice contact with the CG. I will take over the boat with or without your approval. My job is to reach landfall ASAP. Harry was shaking his head and I am not sure what he was saying. I told I am willing to talk gentleman to gentleman alone with Jane and Jake around. Finally we spoke alone. We agreed that only he and I talk, all other opinions must go through one of us.
1. No fighting.
2. Autohelm must be used at night, I insisted that will be no compromise on this. J
3. Harry and me will share the responsibility captain the boat to Hawaii
We shook hand. (What a fuucker
Jake and I will not get out onto the deck to unwrap the spinnakers again at nite or we can risk our sails!!! If the sail is damage beyond repair, we are doomed. We dont have enough fuel to motor.
Evening: no wind less than 3 kn, weather grib file gave us no warning. We are low on water with 60 g of fuel.
Very light wind thro out the the day. Harry insisted go rhumb line despite all of us head more south. I managed head south while he is not looking.
At nite after dinner winds picked up with 10 to 12 kn, perfect a) I have you aiming at 31N/125W and if we can be a bit further N, that would be better condition for our spinnaker. Jake and I sailed her nicely at 6.5 kn and above. I stayed up and watched from 8 pm till Jake relief me at 3 am.
Day 14, July 21
No wild gybe and no need to go on deck at nite for the 3rd nite since the mutiny.
We are finally in the trade wind region. Had they let me sail the boat, we could have been here 3 or 4 days ago. So much time wasted, and so much anger has been expressed. It is just sad. Fuccking worst time in my life. I wonder what my wife would say next time I go crewing for others. Good thing she is on the road traveling and I have my sectary instead.
Looking forward to having another good day. I started taking pic and fish trolling since the stress was gone and arrival to Hawaii is doable.
I had a few small talks with Harry. He apologized numerous times for his behavior and praised my seamanship and leadership. He said perhaps I have more experience in running bigger operations. I was nit touched by his words.
We have good wind all day long doing 6.5 to 8 kn SOG with port tack with Spinnaker. At 7 pm dinner time, big swell coming, pretty rough sea. True wind at 10 to 12 knot. Water temp at 84.3F. Still moving fast.
Day 15, July 22:
At 11 am HST 428 nm from Molokai light. Water temp 84 F. Wind is still good near 20 knot behind us. A bit high for spinnaker but autohelm handled well. We are doing 7 to 8 knots.
Don't believe this, food is running low and this is the first time I willingly eat the food I hate. **** these people do not know how to provision food. Gourmet sushi chef my foot.
. According to Jake. The best three dinners in this trip were my food I brought from home).
Oh yeah, they hid the bottled water, so me and Jake can only drink water from tap. We are not allowed to cook and they controlled the galley and cook us a small portion meal every day, no seconds. We survived by eating snack and the nuts my wife packed for me. I have never lived so poorly in my life. If I tell my friends and family, no one will believe us. It is a good thing that Jake has a Hero 3 GoPRo and captured everything including all these yelling and screaming for the world to hear. I told him to block my ugly mug.
Just a few more days to go. How could one could treat another human being like this way is beyond me. Jake and I on watch most of the time, and do all cleaning and upkeep. Just feel like a servant. Fortunately, the sky is still beautiful as ever. Can't wait to get home.
After quiet 3 days without incidences, and fight broke out again. Jane decided to tape shut the faucet in the galley to prevent us to use any water while they sleep. All the faucets in the head were taped shut a few days again. So we can't even get water to drink since the bottled water is hidden from us. It is just ridiculous. Jake raised hell and Harry agreed not to do that. But the argument continues between Jake, Jane and Harry. This lasted for good half hours.
This is such unprofessional, petty, and childish behavior.
. Fuuuk!!! 360 nm to go.
Day 16, July 23
283 nm to go. Water temp 85.4F.
Since the heated oral exchange between Jakeues and the owners, they escalated his punishment. His night watch duty has been removed. Fucck lucky him... Now I have to do more ... Haha.
They intend to impose more rules to make him more miserable. It is all about control. Instead of being a leader to bring out the best in others, they bring the worse from their crew. It certainly not a right way to be a host or a leader. I guess some are destined to be great men and some are destined to be little 'men' in their own little world.
Back to original topic. Wind is good, we were moving fast. Wind from east at 15 to 19 knots. Still has current behind us at 0.6 Kn.
At the current condition, we may be at Molokai light at Thursday dawn. Be in marina at dusk.
I studied charts yesterday to work out my approach. Book says don't go in harbor at night, not sure what is the deal. The harbor is well marked, plenty of water and we will have almost full moon at nite. I will let Harry makes the decision. But at the worst, I am comfortable to go in in the dark.
At noon, Harry was at the helm and totally lost control. The spinnaker was hopelessly wrapped around the forestay. This man couldn't control the spinnaker. He practically fears of the spinnaker. Remember that man cant even drive in the parking lot.
I called Jake who has been banned from cockpit up on deck to help me free the spinnaker. After a grueling struggle again, we managed to take the spinnaker. Harry kept saying the spinnaker was very dangerous to us. In my mind, he is very dangerous and stupid. He was the one with the problem, but too dumb and proud to see the truth. This was the last I see the spineaker. We are sailing the crippled jib and main now. Harry turned on his engine to do some motor sailing.
At 4 pm, I woke up to loud yelling from a mad man. He was totally out of control with a face so bright red. It turn out his target was not Jake, but Jane. He yelled Jane does not do anything and don't touch anything and immediately come down below. I immediately jumped on the cockpit and to control of the helm. It was set to auto. I was afraid to change anything except to trim to sail to quiet it down. I saw jake was busy taping . LOL
We are so close and yet so far from land. It moves so slowly now without the spinnaker at just above 5 knots.
I am in survival mode, laying low and trying to get thing done correctly to get home ASAP. What else can one do in this situation?
232 nm to go. Heading 230 degree, will do a gybe sometime tonight.
Hope this is the last entry for the day. I am so tired with this drama.
Day 17,July 24:
I woke up at 2 am to start my watch. Wind died down we are moving slowly with just jib and main. Harry suggested we go to Hilo island since the boat is heading to Hilo.
Another day of beautiful day. Sea calm and not much fun. We are definitely sailing to Hilo. It will get us to land and ends our misery sooner, but it will cost me more money to get home. Hilo has no marina, which will also pose a problem: no area for us to clean up before boarding the plane. Water is so short we are not allow to wash our face or brush teeth let alone sponge bath or shower on board.
At 11:20 am, 364 nm from Hawaii. we saw a CG boat headed east passed us on starboard side about 5 nm. Not sure if they are checking on us. CG at west coast told my secretary that they have notified Hawaii CG our situation. Not sure why the CG motored so far from their base. I plan to call CG upon our arrival in the marina.
Harry asked me to start packing. He didn't want me to leave anything behind. He also asked to return a mesh t-shirt and an ugly Hawaii shirt back that he got them from Dollars store.
Since Jake and I will be leaving tomorrow morning when we arrive Hilo. The attack has switched onto Jane NOW. The Poor woman took all the beating today. There were more the five episodes of explosive yelling. 30 min ago Jane was preparing Alfredo for the last night dinner on board. It was apparently Harry wants her to use microwave to make it. Since the engine was not running and can't use the microwave based on Harry rules. She did not want to start the engine because she was afraid to wake him up.
He found out she used the stove to cook the meal. He got all upset for disobeying his order. He got physical but I am not if Jane got beaten. He took the pan and slammed on the counter, the food flew all around. Then he ordered her to throw the dinner over board. There went our dinner.
This man is a very sick man. No wonder he is single without friends or family. I cant imagine how it will be like working in his Sushi restaurant; it must be hell. I am glad I am getting out tomorrow.
Jake and I will stay up tonight to make sure we can arrive Hilo as planned.
At 8:10 pm. All quiet and I am alone at the helm. Moon has not made her appearance yet. There are so many stars. Vega shines so bright on my right and North Star was dimly light starboard aft. Of course Satan[Saturn] is shinning above my head. This is what I live for. It is so bad that this is the worst crewing experience I have ever had. I hope my wife does not get too concerned about me crewing in the future. She has always trusted that I know how to take care of myself.
Day 18, Thursday, July 25:
I woke up at day break, big island was in a distant view. What a sight!!! Although I love the sea, seeing land after so many days at sea is special, especially after this troubled voyage. We motored into Hilo bay at the end of the breaker where the coast guard station is. We were practically being kicked off the boat and they refused to book me the ticket home. I was in no mood to argue and will deal with it later when I get home.
We stopped by homeland security to ensure we are cleared properly. The kind officer showed us where the CG office is.
We stopped by USCG to close our distress call. Lt Han of the west coast CG had notified Honolulu CG of our trouble with the captain, insufficient water and damaged sails.
We also give the short version of the incidence to the CG. . Officers Will and Jensen listened tentatively, and ask what could the CG do in the future to avoid this problem.
I told the CG that there is nothing they could do. However by the action of calling the CG, it was sufficient to get the owner take us seriously and that an authority knows our sailing vessel had problems. Jake was able to fly in one of his film crew from Honolulu to Hilo, was arrived just in time to film while we were interviewed by the CG.
After a couple calls and texts with my wife, my travel arrangement was set. Taking a short flight to Honolulu, to Seattle today and then to Philly. I will be home on Friday at 5 pm, just in time to stop by Philly to have a nice dinner.
This concluded my very first bad experience and the very worst crewing adventure. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the last.
My next delivery is from TCI to
shortly after hurricane Dorian.
Fine Print:
I am old school. Integrity is to do the right thing even when no one is watching.

Great to see Cage Warriors on Sherdog (again)
Read on for more info on the June 16th card in the Middle EastVeach-Madadi Title Bout Headlines CWFC Debut in Jordan
Thursday, June 02, 2011
by Mike Whitman (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Matt Veach (Pictured; file photo) will defend his Cage Warriors Fighting Championship lightweight title against Reza Madadi at CWFC "Fight Night 1", going down June 16 from Le Royal Hotel in Amman, Jordan.
Sherdog.com learned of the bout from CWFC officials on Thursday; they also confirmed five additional contests for the event. The show marks the British promotion's first trip to the country of Jordan. According to the promotion, fans outside the United States can watch the event for free on the promotion's Web site, but the stream will be geo-blocked for fans in the U.S.

Examples can often help you get started a lot faster than reading API docs, so here are a few bits of AML to whet your appetite and show off the abilities of the library. I call these amlets for short. (If this is too stupid, someone please let me know by using the Feedback form.)
I'm sure you will notice that all of the examples below only have screenshots for the Android platform. This because that's the only kind of phone I have, and it's where my focus is at the moment. I do not intend to leave it this way forever though. (Donations for more phones to make this happen will be gladly taken through PayPal though! Just use the button on the right.)
If you would like to see more examples of specific tasks, please me know via the Feedback form.
Example #1: Inputs
This example shows a very basic layout with a variety of different input types. Notice how the structure is very similar to (though not exactly the same as) HTML. You can specify a simple
checked="yes" to toggle buttons and checkboxes, just like HTML. Radio buttons needs to be contained within a group for logical consistency. All objects use only the minimum required space (horizontally and vertically) by default. On the Android platform, this uses the
WRAP_CONTENT constant. You can specify
width="fill" to use all available space (applies to height also). If you've ever built even an interface as simple as this in an Android app, you probably instantly recognize how much cleaner the AML version is.
Example #2: Lists
Lists are used all over the place in mobile apps. So wouldn't it be nice if they were really easy to build? AML implements lists much like a the
<ul> tag in HTML. This is translated into a native list, not just a set of items in a scrollable view.
Example #3: Tables
Tables are one of the biggest conveniences of AML. It's so incredibly easy, and table cells support the
colspan attribute. It's far, far easier than the native implementation. Table cells also support horizontal and vertical alignment, in addition to the ability to specify a column index for making a certain column fill all available space at the expense of others (notice the
expand attribute in the code below). I have yet to implement borders, though text colors and background colors work.
Once again, if there's something specific you'd like to see here, please me know via the Feedback form.


text: The "Access" in Backcountry Access means a lot more than just getting after it in the mountains. Since 1994, our avalanche safety gear has been designed to make backcountry riding and snow safety more accessible: more widely available, affordable and easy-to-use. The "A" in access also stands for access for all backcountry users, no matter what the means of travel. Our discretionary spending goes into promoting avalanche education, not restricting access to the backcountry. Great products, great value, and a balanced perspective: that's how BCA has become the most trusted name in backcountry safety.

Film Review: Insidious (2010)
SYNOPSIS: A family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a nether realm called The Further. REVIEW: The definition for the word "Insidious" is basically "Intended to entrap". And that is exactly what James Wan's latest offering "Insidious" did to The Black Saint.

Question about scents
I have been using some Tink's 69 on the scent wicks that are shaped like the letter P or a key. All stores around here are all sold out. I have 3 that I have been putting in a ziplock bag and reusing them. I just add some new scent each time out. Is this ok to do or should I just throw the old scent wicks away??
I just reuse as well, I tie a string to them and use them as drags when walking in then just hang them in branches when I get to the hunting area. If you are just using them as hangers why not just use the rinks wick bottles? I use them as well and they are good to use as yardage markers too if your hunting a newer area.
I'd say most do re-use them as you've mentioned and that's fine to do. The bottles mentioned above are also good and keep the fragrant aroma :green: at bay when not in the woods. I found some new things this year that are small circular containers, about 1.5" in diameter and 1" deep that have tops that latch securely and small spring clips attached to utilize when hanging from a branch. They are very handy and seem to keep the scent(s) fresh.
If you won't be hunting for several days, I'd also recommend placing the wicks you mentioned in a sealed baggie and then in the freezer to keep them as fresh as possible. I don't think the wife has noticed (yet) the fresh buck hock glands now in the freezer here. :whistling:

John Carter
Based on the story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Carter is a difficult movie to sum up. Never having read the book, I can tell it must be more complex than the filmmakers bargained for. There were questions left unanswered and intricate back stories that were only hinted at in the film. Despite that, the storytelling settles into itself after the first quarter of the movie, making John Carter an engaging film that displays a surprisingly seamless digital world.
John Carter tells the story of a Virginia man who served in the Civil War and who finds himself transported to a war-torn Mars, where factions of humans and aliens vie for his help. Suddenly, Carter is a champion who can literally leap tall buildings in a single bound (thanks to low Martian gravity and lighter bone density than the other humanoids). While trying to survive and get back to Earth, he saves a scantily clad Martian princess, Dejah Thoris, and sort of befriends an alien race—all while struggling through flashbacks of his post-Civil War, outlaw life. Throughout the story, god-like humanoids called Thurn briefly point out that they fix the destiny of the solar system. Sound tricky? It is. This is all interwoven with a complex setup involving a mysterious death, a mousy heir to a fortune and a very brief history of the peoples and conflicts of Mars. Like a Western, the plot is slow to begin but sprawling once the cowboys and Indians are introduced.
The film is a sci-fi action-adventure with epic battles, romance and humor—much like George Lucas' Star Wars films, which Burroughs' John Carter of Mars is said to have influenced. The film's budget was approximately $250 million, which shows in the massive effects and sweeping vistas of the red planet. I had my doubts as to how many green-screen moments I would notice, but the real beauty of John Carter is in the world it creates. Mars' landscapes were gritty deserts that, at times, felt more like a National Geographic special than a movie. CG aliens were believable, and it never felt like human characters were talking to a tennis ball on a stick. Maybe this was because Pixar alum Andrew Stanton directed this meticulously crafted digital film.
Another refreshing attribute of John Carter is that it doesn't rely on major star power to bring powerful characters to life. Friday Night Lights' Taylor Kitsch carries the film as Carter, though not without the help of a very truncated wardrobe (this is where the film saved big bucks). Carter grew into a complex hero as the Martian sun bronzed his abs and emblazoned his spirit. Lynn Collins, who plays Dejah Thoris, was just as plucky and nearly naked. Rounding out the cast, Willem Dafoe plays the honorable alien clan leader, Tars Tarkas, and Thomas Haden Church is the alien villain Tal Hajus.
Something about this film left me wanting more from the story—maybe it was the ending that seemed to wrap up all too quickly or the vaguely developed villains, the Thurn. What ultimately won me over was the neat package of action, characters and sci-fi elements.
The story behind John Carter is deeper than it appears to be at the onset of the film. Cheesy dialogue gives way to intriguing plot twists, and the big, green Martians have personalities beyond the pixels. With the power of Disney moviemaking behind it, John Carter was given the scope Burroughs' story deserved, if not all the depth he authored.

Read all the books as a kid. Same author wrote the Tarzan series as well. He also had other series and stand alone books. You can really see the influence of a nostalgic love of sword play, horsemanship, and a fascination with the new, for the author,possibilitiesof aviation. However, Edgar Rice Burroughs was a very thorough-going Darwinian and the survival of the fittest was very much a part of all of his story lines.
Having said all that - I really enjoyed the movie.

TESOL Master's program accredited
The College has been offering graduate courses in TESOL since 2001, funded by a grant from the United States Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition. The master's program was created in 2007.
There is a growing need nationally and in Maryland for TESOL teachers.
Nationwide, one in 10 public school students have limited English proficiency, according to the U.S. Department of Education. In Maryland, three in 10 public school students are English language learners. The number and percentage of students with limited English proficiency in U.S. public schools has grown by 57 percent from 3.2 million to 5 million from 1995 to 2006. In Maryland, the increase is 69 percent to 25,000.
"We are pleased to respond to a critical shortage area in education with our new master's program in TESOL," said Sherri Hughes, dean of Graduate and Professional Studies at McDaniel. "Together with our K-12 partners, McDaniel looks forward to developing strong teachers who can meet the diverse needs of children and families throughout our region."
The program places strong emphasis on the development of professionalism in language education, accessible, high quality education, collaboration in a global community, respect for diversity and multiculturalism, and promotion of professional development and exchange for educators.

Irene Teaches New Lessons About Managing Rivers
Friday, 04/20/12
Steve Zind
A Vermont river expert says that only recently have officials begun questioning the decades long practice of dredging, widening and straightening rivers after floods. It's estimated that 40 percent of the river repairs done after Irene actually increased the danger from flooding.

A lingering snow pack and warm heavy rains have contributed to flood conditions, but the impact of all this water is also related to how we develop and use land adjacent to rivers and lakes.

This is a "how to" site, not a "why I hate this product/company" site
I just wanted to post a quick reminder here. This is a "how to do it yourself" site and not a "why I hate this product" site. If you have a question about a product or need help with it please post about it. If you're here just to make some sort of public statement about a product or company then this is not the place for you.
Sorry guys, we now have two threads about this and it may get somewhat confusing. Here is the other thread http://www.diychatroom.com/f9/how-si...03/#post221269
and this is a response that I just made that I think should be copied here:
Right on Nathan. There have been at least a couple recent new members that came here for no reason other to have a soapbox from which they can spew their negative comments and agenda. If someone has an axe to grind over a product or company there's little chance that they'll have an objective viewpoint to offer anyone.
This is a pretty friendly place with a really good bunch of people, and this policy will certianly help keep it that way. :thumbsup:
Amen, if you want to vent a complaint call the manufacturer directly, but don't kick them around until you get an explanation. Most manufacturers will go out their way to avoid bad press and often replace tools destroyed by ignorance.:mad:
I appreciate that you guys strive to keep the forum in use for what it is intended for. This way when people like myself come on here to research and learn we don't have to muddle through hundreds of junk/biased posts. Ever since I found the site around New Years 2009, I practically visit everyday now. Thanks for the awesome center you guys have created here.
Another thought is the posts that have nothing to do with DIY, but rather deal with relations between contractors and Homeowners. DIY does not mean (to me) that you are contracting someone to do work for you, it means that you are putting your grubby little hands onto the materials and building something.
In the possibility that my recent post regarding lopping shears might have contributed to this thread, I apologize.
However, I did so with the following points in mind:
1. I pointed out up front that the mfg had a long history of quality tools which I have used for a number of years. My disapointment was with one particular model.
2. I have found out from the mfg that this particular model is marketed to one specific big box store that caters to the DIY homeowner ("You can do it, we can help"). In fact, the tool is marketed with the blade that I feel is inferior being the selling point. The same tool is available, per the mfg., in other stores with a different blade. The cutting blade being the only difference.
3. The item is twice as expensive as a better performing product IMO and I truly believe that most folks want the best value for their money. I have the benefit of someone else buying tools so I am not out of money for something that does not perform well. Most of us, myself included with my personal tools, do not. Frankly, I like going to a store with several choices, being able to buy one or two of each with someone else's money, and then I can buy the one that I like best for my personal use. To that end, I had the opportunity to use the tool enough to come to a reasonable opinion based on the experience with the tool.
Again, if I have contributed to the offense, I apologize but I would be disapointed if a neighbor had used a tool and did not like it, and did not tell me if he knew I was planning on buying one. That's what I consider a good neighbor to be, and I consider this forum a neighborhood.
Downunder, your 246 posts on this site haven't been in fervent opposition to a product. A few of them were, and that's ok. No apology necessary! The mods will almost always send users a note if we have a problem with their posts due to a site rules violation, in an effort to curb the issue.
What we're trying to avoid is people that don't come here for any reason besides dragging a company's or product's name through the mud. We get a lot of new users that will start a bashing thread and not do anything else. They don't lend anything positive to this great group of folks that we have here.
We encourage people to share their experiences with products when someone asks about the product. But starting a thread with the intent of sharing that negative opinion and general bashing isn't going to be tolerated.
I see some of these folks are frustrated and looking for help. It helps to have a sounding board with others all over the nation that are having similiar issues. I live in Florida and see posts clear across the country and some even in Canada. Some of those people have helped me avoid some costly mistakes in my choices.
If someone is looking for help, that's why we're here. If they're looking to complain and generally muddy the waters, that's a different story altogether.
Great Forum
I love this Forum :thumbup:
Luckily I didn't have any bad experience here.
I found a lot of good help and I also helped some people too.:thumbsup:
Keep up the good work.
Also, I think that this forum is a great place for manufacturers to be able to interact with end users. It may even be the case that some issues can be resolved through communication on this forum. That way, other people can potentially have that information at a later time.
Glad your here :thumbsup:
I look forward to post's from those who are unsatisfied with products or service. Its messages like these that keep me on guard against inferior products or services. But I usually investigate to see if the product or service has complaints from others besides the poster and/or if a complaint is registered with the Better Business Bureau. But in the event, there are no other complaints and I want to use the same product that the poster complained about, then I will voice my concerns to the salesman/installer and have myself covered with additional wording in the contract.
Most homeowners do not have the knowledge and experience to do all of the diy jobs. So they must rely on the integrity of the contractor. I believe in my own case on a new install, that a product was left out of the install because 1-1/2 cooling seasons later, the problem was resolved with the addition of a thermal expansions valve and a new thermostat.
So Yes, I believe I might have bashed the installer on this forum and he deserved it. What you won't hear on this forum is complaints from homeowners who don't know any better and good work from shoddy work.
On another discussion site I occassionally view there are moderators who have the ability to remove someone who does not post remarks in the spirit of the site. Like this site, they post requirements to participate and the rules of using the site ... then the moderators/overseers police things. I have noticed several old comments from people whose status shows they were removed from participating on the site.
I am not sure if that is something this site is thinking about, but it would help control some of the behavior that creeps in.
This site is one of the best and most useful on the internet. I always learn something here ... from the pros and amateurs! ... and would hate to see it get stop getting used because of the distractions of a few.
Good luck with resolving this issue.

Well, I was one of the top diary picks for yesterday. Not pick of the day, but in the top five. Not bad since I haven't updated like I promised!
It's been cool again here, but not cold like a couple of weeks ago. But still cold enough to make me root under momma's king-sized quilt and flip around like a fish out of water until I had it all curled around myself. Well, except for one tiny corner for momma. She keeps telling me that's not enough for sleepy time though. I think she should get me my own quilt. Those baby doll-sized blankets just don't do it for me, even though they are wonderfully soft. Or maybe momma just needs to get her old quilt out of the closet to use--for her, not me.
I'm a bit nervous tonight. Momma mentioned the "B" word today. It's been a couple of weeks, because we were out of shampoo, but she fixed that. Big brother Chris will probably give me a bath tomorrow, then I'll show him by leaving him some real-poo on his floor while he's at school next week.
I am so excited that I was selected for Dogster's Diary of the Day! Especially after it went neglected for so long! I promise to check in more often.
Thanks to those who sent requests to be my Pup pals! It's awesome to have new buddies!
This past week has been warmer, so we've spent more time outside, and less time wearing those t-shirts and jackets! Dogs were meant to wear their fur and nothing else!
Dad's taking a catnap, so I'm going to go curl up with him for a bit to grab a few z's myself. He's always nice and warm to cuddle up with!
I just celebrated my 49th birthday...that's 7 years to you humans.
I'm still as spoiled as ever. In the last year, I have discovered a treat the humans call chicken chews. My cousins get them so mom and dad finally decided I should try them. LOVE THEM! Encourage your parents to get them---Walmart, a little pricey, but I only get them when I've been extra good.
I've also learned to like the standard Milkbone biscuit. I don't know why I turned my nose up at these when I was younger.
I enjoyed Christmas too. I got a new pink collar with shiny rhinestones and a new t-shirt. I'm still not fond of clothes, but they sure help on those cold days. And isn't today (or maybe it was yesterday) National Dress Up Your Pet day? I didn't dress up--did you?
Speaking of cold, what's with the temps in Florida this past week?!?! A little poochy could get frostbite walking outside early in the morning to do business!

Osmium tetroxide (OsO4) is a very volatile liquid and is used under the name of osmic acid as a stain for sections in microscopy.
That particular kind of fat does not stain with osmic acid in the usual way.
The embryo was hardened in a mixture of chromic acid and osmic acid.
Greasy finger-marks may also be acted on chemically, so as to bring out details by the application of osmic acid.
The metal osmium, if exposed to the flame of oxidation, fuses and is finally dissipated as osmic acid.
These ciliated furrows stain deeply with osmic acid, and nervous impulses are certainly transmitted along them.
Nucleus of the yolk in connection with the protoplasmic network hardened in osmic acid.
Staining with osmic acid or Sudan (p. 109) will remove any doubt as to their nature.
These granules are more distinct in chromic acid specimens than in those hardened in osmic acid, but are to be seen in both.
The embryo was hardened in a mixture of osmic and chromic acids.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 10:19am
Providence had an interesting 2013 season under first-year coach Chris Gabrielli, which saw them go 8-8 with a 1-5 mark in Big East play. The eight wins were the most since the 2005 campaign, while the conference win was only the second in school history since they joined the Big East.
In the fall 2012, Providence announced it would renovate Schneider Arena, which has served as the home of the men's and women's hockey programs since 1973. The plans also included the men's lacrosse program coming over to the arena, where they would share beautiful new weight room facilities and training rooms with the hockey programs. The lacrosse program would also get new coaches' offices, a locker room, and a sport-specific 55 seat theater to break down film while holding team functions.
"There isn't a program in the country that can compare to our new facilities," Gabrielli said during IL's visit to Providence as part of the Fallball All-Access Series, in which IL got an up-close look at the facilities as the team was working out.
The facility upgrades are not yet completed, as the lacrosse team is set to move into a new stadium during the fall of 2014 after a large donation. The stadium will hold 2,500 people and have a state-of-the-art field turf. "This new facility will allow us to walk 50 feet from our new locker rooms and walk right onto the field," said Gabrielli.
The attitude change was evident at an offseason workout last Friday. PC splits its team in half during workouts with about 25 players in each group to keep the numbers down for the strength coaches to be able to focus on the players.
I got to campus at around 7:15 a.m., while the first group was winding down with their workout and caught the end of it. The strength coaches split the group in half to do a relay sled pushing race, and the atmosphere was energetic for being 7 in the morning. Every player was encouraging each other along while trying to complete the goal as fast as possible. After completing this, the first group headed off to go to the new cold tub in the training room before heading off to their first class of the day.
The second lifting group came in to start their warmup to going through the same routine with the lifting, cross training, and using the great new facility.
Check out photos from their fallball workout below and above.

SIOL os one of the BIGGEST, BUT CERTAINLY not the best ISP providers in Slovenia. It offers many other (sometimes unconnected) services on one BIG web-site. Said otherwise, here you can link together your VARIOUS accounts to ONE (if You use their services), which makes things certainly easier, but not necessarily safer. Said in a simplistic way: 'A double-edged sword'. How they treat Your privacy? You may not agree, but my simple answer is, they DON'T.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the lack of posts here recently. January has been an adventure through vertigo and insomnia induced lunacy, and it's taken me a little while to get my head together enough to begin posting again! So I'm delighted to finally share the first real post of 2012 with you this evening :)
Cup is a new cafe recently opened here on Nassau St in Dublin, and it was my pleasure to call in and take some photos for them. Although not officially a job, it was my first time taking photos for someone else and an experience that I really welcomed. I'm not 100% happy with the end result, it's a beautifully designed space and I'm not sure I did it any justice. However, I was happy to spend a half hour snapping coffees and cookies and hopefully you'll get an idea of the essence of the space from these shots!
It's a difficult time for any new business in Ireland right now, but the morning I called into Cup it was packed with customers and I hope that trend continues for them. If you're in the area be sure to call in and grab a sweetly poured coffee and a mini cupcake, and if you'd like to get in touch you'll find them on Twitter as @cupdublin! Being so busy with the camera I totally forgot to even think about eating one of these cupcakes, so I'll be calling back in pretty soon to get one, yum!

Workout of the Day: Sunday, 6.16.13
Don't forget!
If you are interested in the competitive year at CFCC, come to the Competitor's Meeting THIS Friday starting at 730pm.
If you are interested in having the most fun EVER, come to PROM on June 29th. :)
If you are interested in watching some awesome Olympic Lifting go down, check out the Liberty Barbell Classic, happening THIS Saturday, from 9-5pm, please note, all classes on Saturday will be cancelled for this event.
Preparing your food for the week? Become inspired anew by reading… A Delicious Day in the Life of Ozzy – a new feature on the CFCC Nutrition Page!
Our Programming Cycle is as follows (we are in our second week of four!):
MONDAY: Back Squat, 5, 3, 2, 1 this cycle plus an 8ish min range WOD.
TUESDAY: Hang Snatch, up to a peak of 1 every week. Box Jump/Double Under short WODs.
WEDNESDAY: The Muscle-up – EVERY WEEK! Complemented by longer ring dominant WODs (up to 15 minutes).
THURSDAY: The Shankle Complex (clean pull once, clean pull twice, clean pull a third time, then hang clean, then split jerk twice). Peak it. Every week…and nothing else. I'm so psyched.
FRIDAY: Strongman Movement Dominant WODs.
SATURDAY: Deadlift dominant WODs – up to 20 minutes in length, benchmarks wherever possible.
SUNDAY: Bodyweight Movement Only Benchmarks up to 20 minutes in length.
Below, Marcy Rose (all the way to the right) accepts the Bronze Medal at the Pan-American Games in Chicago this past weekend. I remember when Marcy could barely rack a clean without having to think VERY hard about her elbows, and when the only kind of snatch she ever could do was a "power snatch" – time, hard work, (and bacon?) can do a lot. If you're frustrated with your lifts, plan your weeks according to your weaknesses!
MOVEMENT PREP: Lax Ball Pec Minor and Upper Traps in Glute Bridge, 2 minutes per side in each position. 3 rounds of: 3 Inverted Hand Push-ups, 3 Yoga Push-ups, 3 Spiderman Step plus Overhead Reach.
ACTIVATION: Tripod Practice, about 3 minutes.
SKILL WORK: The Kipping Handstand Push-up
"JT" : 21-15-9 reps of: HSPU, Ring Dips, Push-ups – for a full description of how to scale this WOD, see here. VERY new athletes at CFCC may use a handstand walk up or handstand kick-up (if they've already learned to do it) as a sub for the HSPU (21 HS Walk-ups are HARD, so they can always scale the reps too – 15 is WAAAY more doable). The ring-dip band assist helps but obviously some are going to need a LOT of help. The push-ups will also need a band assist and I would recommend using the band attached to a ring to keep stations simple.

In Business, Everybody Uses Social Media For Work; The Question Is How
Posted by Zachary Reiss-Davis on July 17, 2013
- 608 Recommendations
- 2 comments
You can no longer segment your business customers into those who use social media for business purposes and those who do not. Why not? Because according to Forrester's newest B2B Social Technographics® numbers, fully 100% of business decision-makers use social media for work purposes. Other stunningly high numbers: 98% of business decision-makers are Spectators (they read blogs, watch videos, or listen to podcasts), 79% are Joiners (they maintain a profile on social networking sites), and 75% are Critics (they comment on blogs and post ratings and reviews), all in the context of their business activities.
Therefore, it's no longer a question of whether you should use social, but how. B2B marketing executives no longer need convincing to invest in social. However, social marketing efforts are maturing beyond experimentation — where measuring results is secondary — to science. At this more advanced stage of maturity, marketers need to understand exactly how and when their customers are using social and target them differently in each stage of the customer life cycle.
Your customers don't make blanket use of "social media," "social networks," or "communities" in general. Instead, they use specific social networks and communities for specific goals, both personal and business-related. The communities your customers visit for personal reasons are not always the ones they use for business purposes.
For business purposes, the No. 1 and No. 2 communities aren't specific public social networks but "niche" communities focused on specific objectives. For example, business technology buyers might visit IT Central Station or Spiceworks to learn more about multiple competing technologies at once; alternatively, they might visit a community managed by a single brand, such as the Cisco Communities or SAP Community Network (SCN).
On the other hand, Facebook is more popular as a consumer community than a business one. While 81% of business decision-makers use Facebook at least monthly, more than half use it exclusively for personal purposes and only 2% use it exclusively for business. So B2B marketers should begin by focusing on more business-centric communities and on LinkedIn.
For more detail on where business decision-makers spend their time, check out this graphic:
I encourage you to use this data to understand how your customers and prospects use social media as a part of their professional lives in order to inform the rest of your social marketing decisions as part of Forrester's POST — People, Objectives, Strategy, and Tactics/Technology — strategy for social marketing. For more information and insight derived from our new data, I encourage you to read our clients-only report, The Social Behaviors Of Your B2B Customers, which is published today. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or reach out to me on Twitter (@ZacharyRD).

Great post
Comment from Russell Rothstein on Sun, 07/21/2013 - 12:01
Hi Zack,
Great post. A few months back in a previous report you had talked about B2B marketers spending a disproportionate amount of time listening to twitter in relation to the presence of buyers on that social network. Are you finding that changing? The graph above indicates 6+36=42% of decision makers are using twitter, which I recall is much higher than the number you had talked about previously.
Thanks for including IT Central Station in your post and report!

Physics Colloquium-Richard Prum, Yale
Self-Assembly and Evolution of Color Producing Nanostructures of Birds and Insects
In addition to molecular pigments, many organisms create colors for communication and camouflage using optical nanostructures. Color production by interference from thin films and diffraction gratings has been easily understood, but understanding color production by other biological nanostructures that lack regular crystalline periodicity has been a challenge. Fourier analysis and small-angle X-ray scattering reveals that these quasiordered, or aperiodic , nanostructures from bird feathers and insect scales have sufficient local order to produce structural colors by interference, but unlike most interference colors, these colors lack iridescence. A second challenge has been to understand the development of bio-optical nanostructures, which are too large to be explained by traditional molecular biology and too small for developmental biology. We are investigating the role of soft condensed matter physics in the self-assembly of two classes of bio-optical nanostructures: arrested phase separation in spongy beta-keratin nanostructures of blue bird feathers, and the membrane folding energetics in scales of butterflies, beetles, and bees. Understanding the optics and self-assembly of these nanostructures provides new insights into their communication functions and evolution.

When the last amen had been sung, Monk watched the people file out, hoping someone would touch his memory, or better still, actually speak to him.
He was about to give up even that when he saw a young woman in black, slender and of medium height, dark hair drawn softly back from a face almost luminous, dark eyes and fragile skin, mouth too generous and too big for it. It was not a weak face, and yet it was one that could have moved easily to laughter, or tragedy. There was a grace in the way she walked that compelled him to watch her.
As she drew level she became aware of him and turned. Her eyes widened and she hesitated. She drew in her breath as if to speak.
He waited, hope surging up inside him, and a ridiculous excitement, as if some exquisite realization were about to come.
Then the moment vanished; she seemed to regain mastery of herself, her chin lifted a little, and she picked up her skirt unnecessarily and continued on her way.
He went after her, but she was lost in a group of people, two of whom, also dressed in black, were obviously accompanying her. One was a tall, fair man in his mid-thirties with smooth hair and a long-nosed, serious face; the other was a woman of unusual uprightness of carriage and features of remarkable character. The three of them walked towards the street and waiting vehicles and none of them turned their heads again.
Monk rode home in a rage of confusion, fear, and wild, disturbing hope.
-- Chapter 3, Pages 68-69
Long for a quote, I know, but much too excellent to pass up! I'm enjoying this book more than I'd expected to (and I am expecting a lot). I love her deep understanding of human nature, and how her descriptions of facial features and expressions, and even clothes, help to connect the reader to the characters.
Happy reading! :)

DIRECTV's TV Service is Recommended by CableTV.com
Independent customer surveys reveal that, among satellite TV providers and cable companies in Bon Air, AL, DIRECTV is rated the best TV service provider. CableTV.com provides easy access to this data, making it easy to find the best cable companies and television services available in your area.
It's important that you take factors other than price into consideration when determining the best cable company in Bon Air, AL. Channel selection should also play an essential role in your decision.
