Thanks John for all your help developing a financial solution that met my new family's needs. With a firm budget in mind, you never gave up: obtaining an ideal mix of products that was 30% cheaper that the original quote. Thank you!
Anthony Fisk
Thank you John Scott for your support and assistance in streamlining my finances and business affairs. My new business initiative was difficult to envisage, as there were so many variables with a start up in the charity sector. John's clear vision and his 'miraculous' one-page plan, help me see forward 3 years, with goals, incentives, needs and rewards. It is a very impressive document which Ive subsequently used for funding applications. John and the one page plan clarified my purpose, which in turn gave me great courage to establish my Foundation.
Kay Schubach
"I've learnt to prioritise better, be more efficient with my time and most importantly communicate my vision to my team more effectively and get them onboard in driving the business. John's guidance has created the opportunity for me to engage my staff in a creative and fun way, with the focus on 90 day periods so you see results straight away. Any business would benefit from the strategies Fraser Scott employs. If you need help prioritising, implementing goals and you can't afford to wait a year for results, this is the program for you."
Margie Barry, The Chiropractic Works
As the owner of a very young solo practice, I found myself sailing un-chartered waters with not only limited navigational skills, but with the added barrage of bits of advice constantly floating my way like hundreds of messages in bottles!! From my first appointment with Sarah-Beth and John and with their assistance I had drafted a chart, pin-pointed my goals and destinations, plotted a route to get there and then worked out where I need to start. The stress caused by wondering when to tackle the hundreds of frustrating random messages-in-bottles and deciding which advice will work, was removed, because John & Sarah-Beth gave me targeted business expertise and advice that were tailored to my needs!! I have got new wind in my sails now and I am looking forward to reaching my goals quickly and directly with Sarah-Beth and John's guidance.

Date: January 16 2013
Controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders will visit Australia next month.
The right-wing Dutch MP was due to visit in October last year but was forced to postpone because the federal government took its time deciding whether to approve his visa.
Tour organisers Q Society - a group concerned about the so-called "Islamisation of Australia" - have now announced Mr Wilders will speak in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney in February.
"The Australian experiment of multiculturalism is failing in relation to Islam, just as it has failed everywhere else," the group says on the event website.
"Australians are being misled to believe Islam is 'just another religion' - when it is in fact much more."
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has condemned the MP's extremist views but ultimately decided not to use his ministerial discretion to block his visa.
"I've taken the view, in the end, that I didn't want to make him a cause celebre," he said in October.
"I think probably what he would like me to do is refuse his visa so he can make a hero of himself and get his cause more attention."
Mr Wilders, founder of the fourth-largest political party in the Netherlands, told a UK newspaper in 2009: "I don't hate Muslims. I hate their book and their ideology."
Australia's Muslim population is about half a million people, out of a total population of 22 million.

Sixteen years after that goal against Argentina Michael Owen will be at Ascot rather than with England in Brazil and may not have a single regret about it if his Brown Panther (4.25) can win the Gold Cup. The former striker was in tears of joy here three years ago when the same horse, which he bred himself, won a handicap but this time they have a fine chance in the biggest prize of Ascot week.
Now six, Brown Panther has never stopped improving. He ran away with the Goodwood Cup last summer and, while there was a suspicion he might have been flattered by the outcome of that race, he has backed it up with two wins from two starts this term.
Both those came on soft ground, very different from the faster surface that prevails here, but Brown Panther has run well on good to firm in the past, notably when second in the 2011 St Leger. There is not much wrong with last year's Leger winner, Leading Light, who is favourite for this race, but he still has a bit to prove outside his own age group and Brown Panther, at 8-1, makes more appeal.
There is each-way value in the German raider, Altano, at 9-1 but the fear would be a replication of the hold-up tactics that killed his chance in last year's race. The leaders will not stop on ground as fast as this and Altano's backers risk a second heartbreak.
2.30 Chester is a very different test from this course but there was a lot to like about Mukhmal's effort there last time. Breaking from the widest draw in stall 10, he had enough speed to go straight to the front and work his way across to the inside rail, beating a horse who was placed in a Listed race next time. Drawn on the favoured stands' side here, Mark Johnston's colt may be hard to catch.
3.05 Cannock Chase's win at Newbury last time, on only his third start, suggested he may have a big future and his sights have been lowered from a Group Two that was the original target.
3.45 As a half-sister to George Washington and a daughter of Sea The Stars, Wonderstruck is exceptionally well bred and impressed last time in winning a maiden race that is already working out well.
5.00 Well drawn and with first-time cheekpieces, Bilimbi can atone for a recent disappointment on soft ground.
5.35 Several leading contenders face difficult outside draws but things may work out well for Personal Opinion, an unlucky loser last time.

A doctor is one of two women who drowned off the coast of Tenerife after attempting to rescue two children swept out by a wave.
Uma Ramalingam, a consultant obstetrician, was on holiday with relative , Barathi Ruvikumar, when they died during their rescue attempt off the coast of Playa Paraiso .
It was widely reported that a third woman, aged 38, survived along with the two children, after being pulled out of the water by rescuers.
A former colleague of Mrs Ramalingam, 42, from Altrincham, Cheshire, who worked at the Royal Oldham Hospital's women and children's unit, paid tribute to the "fantastic doctor".
Olubusola Amu, consultant and clinical director of Women and Children Services at the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We are greatly saddened to hear the death of Uma, who had been working for the trust for about six years.
"She was a fantastic doctor who brought a lot of hope to the high-risk women attending the women and children's unit at the Royal Oldham Hospital.
"This is a terrible shock to everyone who knew Uma. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time. She will be sorely missed."
A Guardia Civil spokeswoman said: "It appears that the two women were dragged into the sea by a wave yesterday at around 6pm in Playa Paraiso, Adeje.
"We can confirm that both were British and both were relatives, although we are not certain how they were related at the moment."
A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: 'We can confirm the deaths of two British nationals in Tenerife on April 6.
"We are in touch with the authorities and are providing consular assistance with the families."
Locals and tourists are said to have helped drag four of the people involved in the tragedy out of the water before a helicopter rescued the fifth.
A 10-year-old boy was taken to hospital with hypothermia while a second child aged 14 was treated at the scene for bruises thought to have been caused by rocks at the water's edge.
Playa Paraiso is a small, purpose-built resort with a handful of restaurants, shops and bars.
The beach is made up of rock and shingle but it lies near the golden and black-sand shores of Costa Adeje and party capital Playas de las Americas.
More than 1.5million British tourists visited Tenerife last year, according to the island's tourist board.
About one in three visitors were from the UK - a rise of 0.8 per cent on 2012.
Most head to the resorts on the south coast.

BillQuick and QuickBooks helps professional firms get tasks done. Smooth, intelligent and efficient. BillQuick expands on QuickBooks' excellent accounting features with its own intelligent time, billing and project management capabilities. You Never Enter Data Twice (NED2). And you fully control the integration, deciding where tasks are done, what data synchronizes, and when it synchronizes. With NED2 embedded in your solution, key benefits include:
Together, BillQuick with QuickBooks means you are Working Smarter, Not Harder.
The table below illustrates the flow of data between BillQuick and QuickBooks.
BillQuick matches activities and expense codes with service items for the smooth flow of services and expenses charged to projects and to overhead. Each activity and expense code, like a service item, is associated with a GL account.
Data within Employee Profiles transfer between BillQuick and QuickBooks. Employee data is important for recording hours worked, and for invoices and reports. It may also be used with Payroll. Employee bill and cost rates in BillQuick flow to time entries, budgets, and other functions.
Like employees, BillQuick synchronizes Vendor Profiles with QuickBooks. Vendor information is important for recording time and expenses in BillQuick and managing purchase orders and vendor bills. Vendor information also flows to budgets, reports and invoices.
Client Profiles in BillQuick synchronize with QuickBooks. Client information is important for projects, marketing letters, invoices, reports, and other functions. Client information and client contacts in BillQuick can also be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook Contacts.
Project Profiles in BillQuick are very robust: contract types, contract amounts, budgets, fee schedules, billing setup options, automatic billing, and more. Time and expenses are charged to projects. Invoices are created for projects. Thus, after initial integration projects are setup and maintained in BillQuick.
Hours recorded in transfer to QuickBooks -- billable, non-billable, vacation, holiday, sick and administrative. You can assign payroll accounts to each type of time. Typically, users transfers hours to QuickBooks only when needed to process payroll.
Capturing time is more robust, flexible and intelligent using BillQuick, Web Suite (PC, laptop, smart phone), BillQuick Online or Microsoft Outlook. For example, BillQuick automatically applies a default employee (or consultant) bill rate OR a special project bill rate (based on the employee, activity or job classification). Business rules automatically check for over-contract work, overtime, comp time, and more. Time entries flow to invoices regardless of the billing arrangement. Time is the foundation of job cost, budget comparison, project management, billing, profitability, realization, utilization and other analysis reports.
Expenses can be recorded in BillQuick or QuickBooks. Two-way synchronization ensures information flows to the right project and that bills get paid. To be transferred, QuickBooks Bills must be associated with a job. Like time, you can capture expenses using BillQuick, Web Suite (PC, laptop, smart phone) and BillQuick Online. Default unit costs, markups, reimbursable status and billable status carry to the Expense Log screen to minimize effort and save time. Expenses flow to job cost, budget comparison, project management, billing, profitability, and other analysis reports.
For essential financial reporting, invoices generated using BillQuick intelligent, automated capabilities transfer to QuickBooks. BillQuick offers 100+ customizable invoice templates with varying levels of detail. An invoice template can be associated with a contract type as well as individual projects.
BillQuick maintains a full A/R. You control whether to transfer full invoice detail to QuickBooks or to transfer only a summary (one line per GL account). The summary option sends less data to the QuickBooks database.
Payments entered in BillQuick transfer to QuickBooks as undeposited funds. Payments entered in QuickBooks also transfer to BillQuick. Entry screens and features are similar.
Vendor time and expenses entered into BillQuick become vendor bills. Also, you can enter bills from vendors in BillQuick. Vendor bills trigger a Pay When Paid notice for invoices that include one or more vendor bills. Vendor bills transfer to QuickBooks Payables as bills to be paid.

Management Planning for Nature Conservation
pp 49-62
Survey, Surveillance, Monitoring and Recording
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Monitoring, surveillance and recording are all activities concerned with the collection and management of information. They are an indispensable and integral component of management planning: without information there can be no planning. This chapter is about survey, surveillance and monitoring in the context of management planning. It is not about the information required for reporting purposes, and it is certainly not about research (hypothesis testing).
Survey: Making a single observation to measure and record something.
Surveillance: Making repeated standardised surveys in order that change can be detected. This is quite different to, but often confused with, monitoring. Surveillance lacks the 'formulated standards' that are so important in monitoring. Surveillance is used to detect change but does not differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable change.
Monitoring: Surveillance undertaken to ensure that formulated standards are being maintained (JNCC 1998). Monitoring should be an essential and integral component of management planning: there can be no planning without monitoring and no monitoring without planning. Monitoring projects should not be unnecessarily complicated. A decision must be made about how accurate a monitoring project needs to be. There should be a direct relationship between the accuracy of the conditions that management can deliver and the level of accuracy that a monitoring project is designed to measure. The development of any monitoring strategy should be based on the availability of resources and on a risk assessment. We need to understand what we can afford to do, which features are the most vulnerable (i.e. most likely to change) and which need remedial management (i.e. those which should change).
Recording: Making a permanent and accessible record of significant activities (including management), events and anything else that has relevance to the site. Recording management activities must be given the highest priority: if something is worth doing it must be worth recording. Recording is an expensive activity and it must be planned with exactly the same rigour as all other aspects of reserve management. Information and records are only as good as they are accessible. Good data management is essential, but this can be quite a challenge, especially on large sites or when there is a need to share information over several sites.

LONDON – Seven-time champion Roger Federer returned to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon with a clinical 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Tommy Robredo of Spain on Tuesday.
The fourth-seeded Federer looked in complete control and saved the only break point he faced in the final game of the match with a forehand volley. He has yet to lose a set at the All England Club this year.
Federer, who owns 17 Grand Slam titles, lost in the second round here in 2013, ending his streak of reaching the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive major tournaments.
He served 11 aces and hit 41 winners against Robredo, who defeated Federer in the fourth round of the U.S. Open last year.
The 23rd-seeded Robredo never has been past the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Also Tuesday, French Open runner-up Simona Halep breezed into the women's quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.
The third-seeded Romanian needed just 57 minutes to beat the 72nd-ranked Diyas, who was playing at Wimbledon for the first time.
Halep is the second Romanian woman to reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club, joining Virginia Ruzici, who made it to the final eight in 1978 and 1981. Ruzici is now Halep's manager.
Halep, who has reached the quarterfinals at all three Grand Slams this year, is the only player among the top four seeds left in the draw.
Elsewhere, Sabine Lisicki, last year's beaten finalist, shrugged off a shoulder injury to book her place in the Wimbledon last eight with a hard-fought victory over Yaroslava Shvedova.
The German 19th seed defeated the Kazakh world No. 65 in three sets, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 in just under two hours on Court Three.
Lisicki has now reached the quarterfinals in all of her last five Wimbledon outings.
She faces third seed Halep on Wednesday for a place in the semis.
The 24-year-old had a medical timeout at 1-1 in the final set, with the trainer working on her right shoulder after a painful serve.
She had a further massage at 4-3 up and the work seemed to do the trick as Lisicki broke to leave her serving for the match at 5-3.
Shvedova broke straight back to stay in the match but the German then fashioned three match points and eventually sealed the 56-minute set.

"In 1652, Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of New Amsterdam, now New York, received a promise from the Jews who came to settle there that they (the Jews) would care for their own poor. Ever since then, the Jews of this country have prided themselves that this sacred promise which the first Jewish settlers in America made has never been broken."
With this quote I.M. Rubinow opens his discussion of the relationship between Jewish social services and the broader social and economic trends, questioning whether the story reflects "good history", and, more importantly, challenging the notion that it reflects "good sociology, good social ethics or good social work."
From the J-Vault: What Do We Owe to Peter Stuyvesant? (1930)
Speaking at the National Conference of Jewish Social Service, Rubinow asks: "Have we made a promise? Just what kind of a promise did we make? Have we fulfilled the pledge? And is the promise still binding?" The original promise not to be "a burden" was originally a concession to "Stuyvesant's bigotry", according to sources Rubinow quotes.
If this be a promise, evidently it was obtained under duress, under threat of expulsion... It would be funny if it were not so sad. For as a matter of fact, this whole misconception, supported by a curious mixture of holy tradition, race pride, and a typical Jewish sense of group guilt, has definitely colored both the theory and practice of our work, and much of the social philosophy of the American Jewish community. No more tragic illustration may be found of the truth of the statement that necessity may be made into a virtue...
In any event, Rubinow explains, this "promise" has not really been kept:
non-Jewish contributions have been made to Jewish drives and campaigns. They have been diplomatically solicited in secret. Just why do we find a situation of this nature so very damaging to our pride? Is it because we are still a "chosen people" ? Is it because we still live in a ghetto and must not disclose our sores to the enemy? Is it because we are so proud, or because we are afraid to admit the ugly truth?
Rubinow argues that the truth is that the Jewish community cannot continue to conceive of its socioeconomic needs as existing in a vacuum:
Jewish poverty is not a result of intra-group conditions. It is a part and parcel of the whole economic and social problem of wealth production and wealth accumulation of the country as a whole. The expectation that the problem of Jewish poverty can be met individually, may be hoped to be eliminated irrespective of those general economic forces, is an expression of excessive group pride uncontrolled by scientific research and thinking. The sermon of independent group responsibility becomes a definite anti-social force if it destroys Jewish force—if it destroys Jewish interest, and Jewish participation in national progressive social movements.
Jewish communal and social service should not therefore be subsumed into larger social movements, however:
Jewish social service... has largely grown for at least three reasons: (1) To perform functions which, otherwise, would have been left undone. (2) To give expression to the need and desire of communal co-operation. (3) To enable the Jewish minority to make its contribution to development of cultural, ethical and even social values and concepts in the community in which we live.

Ganguly sustained the injury while fielding during the Pakistan innings as he dived to stop a scorching off-drive by his counterpart Inzamam-ul-Haq.
He lay on the ground writhing in pain before he was stretchered off.
However, team manager Ratnakar Shetty said the skipper was feeling "enthusiastic" now after undergoing treatment by team physio Andrew Leipus in the dressing room.
"I think he has some pain in the back. We have decided to go in for a test. As of now we don't know how serious the injury is," Shetty said.
"He was very enthusiastic and wanted to go back to the field but he was advised against it," he said.
Ganguly has three days to recover before the first Test which starts in Multan on Sunday.
Shetty said whether Ganguly would be able to play the opening Test would depend on doctor's report.

The sintering of precious metal catalysts is an important problem for the automotive and chemical process industry. As these precious metal catalysts sinter, the metal nanoparticles grow, which in return causes a loss in the overall surface area from loss of the number of available reaction sites. At high temperatures, sintering as a thermally activated process occurs more rapidly and the energetics of the sample changes. In automotive catalysis, for the catalytic converter, the exhaust gases from automobiles contain carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide compounds, and other hydrogen compounds, which are detrimental to the atmosphere, and a catalyst is required to convert these gasses into less harmful gases, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These reactions occur at very high temperatures, greater than 900 C, which causes the catalyst to degrade and not be as effective in converting these harmful gases to less harmful gases, requiring some state governments to mandate the testing of the exhaust gases from cars periodically to ensure the proper conversion is occurring. Despite the importance of catalyst sintering, there is much yet to be understood about the mechanism of how catalysts sinter and to predict catalyst lifetimes under operating conditions. To better study how sintering occurs, a single crystal model catalyst will be employed for my experiments. A palladium catalyst, one of the three metals used in catalytic converters, was deposited on single crystal metal-oxide substrates. The three metal-oxides examined were Pd on alpha-alumina, quartz (silica), and yttria stabilized zirconia. Palladium nanoparticles with an average size of around 15 nm were created from a thin film of deposited pure palladium. After the creation of palladium nanoparticles, the samples were aged under two different conditions, under a vacuum atmosphere and a nitrogen atmosphere. The vacuum atmosphere is used to measure the emission of adatoms from the nanoparticles. Any adatom emitted from the particle into the atmosphere will be removed from the system, causing a loss of mass to the system. The mass loss can be measured indirectly by using a scanning electron microscope and analyzing images of the system to calculate the mass lost from the system. From this mass loss, we can calculate the emission rate of Pd on the different supports to see how the support affects the emission of adatoms. The other ageing condition is in nitrogen, where there would be no mass loss in the system, and from the scanning electron microscope we can analyze how rapidly particles grow. The faster the particles grow, the greater is the sintering rate, most likely from a greater rate of adatom emission. If the sintering rates correlate to emission rates under vacuum, then the emission step is critical to the understanding of catalyst sintering. My research shows that the support does affect the emission and sintering rates. Results of evaporation at 900 C under vacuum showed the Pd on alpha-alumina evaporated the least, followed by Pd on YSZ then Pd on quartz. The results of sintering at 700 C showed that these trends also were true for sintering rates, with Pd on alumina sintering the least followed by Pd on YSZ and then Pd on quartz. These results show that the emission of adatoms can be measured by vacuum and the sintering rates do correlate. With the emission rates correlating, there might be ways to learn how the support affects the amount of sintering. This might lead to the better design of catalysts which might reduce the amount of sintering.

Taking full advantage of the beautiful summer weather, Alicia Keys was spotted out and about in New York City this afternoon (July 7).
The "Empire State of Mind" songstress was joined by her husband Swizz Beatz and their son Egypt Daoud as she made her way around Manhattan while shutterbugs loomed near.
Looking fabulous, Alicia Keys was in attendance at the 2011 BET Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday (June 26).
The "No One" singer tended to media duties in the arrivals area at the Shrine Auditorium while readying for the annual showcase to get underway.
Hitting the red carpet for a good cause, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz arrived at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at The Roundhouse in London, England earlier today (June 15).
Alicia, the event's co-host, shined in an all black, belted strapless gown while hubby Swizz looked dapper in a sharp black tux.
Trying to put an end to any home-wrecking rumors, Alicia Keys has spoken out - insisting that she and Swizz Beatz did not begin dating until after he split from his former wife.
The 30-year-old's husband announced his separation from now ex R&B artist wife Mashonda Tifrere in April 2008, although their divorce was not finalized until 2010.
Making the most of the warming weather, Alicia Keys was spotted out in New York City with her son Egypt Daoude Dean over the weekend.
Joined by her husband Swizz Beatz, the "Fallin" songstress played the doting mommy by holding her baby boy close while strolling down the street.
Enjoying a family outing, Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz hit up a performance of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" in New York City last night (February 6).
The showbiz couple treated two of their kids to the Broadway production and attracted plenty of paparazzi attention in the process.
Joining the many stars in the ritzy locale, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz teamed up for a romantic walk in St Barts on Thursday (December 30).
The recently married pair ventured the streets for a bout of shopping at places such as Louis Vuitton while holding hands with one another.
It's hoped by participants that the newly released pictures of celebrities posing in caskets will be able to make the intended impact.
The eye-catching photos of names including Kim Kardashian and Swizz Beatz were put together to raise efforts for World AIDS Day, which is on Wednesday (December 1).

Hey guys
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is as basic as they come, not even trail rated. My jeep recently got broken into, the drivers side rear window was broken with a rock. Now on my key fob I have the panic button, but I was wondering if I have a car alarm? The reason I ask is because my car was locked but no alarm or anything went off.
Re: Hey guys
There isn't a glass breakage sensor in the alarm system.
Re: Hey guys
So then what kind of things would set off the alarm?
Re: Hey guys
I believe all jeeps come with a basic car alarm, but it's just that, basic. No shock sensors, etc. I believe it only goes off if someone tampers with your door.
There is an option to upgrade to the more expensive alarm, which is factory installed but dormant until activated which you have to pay for. I'm not sure if they're all the same but my car came with the KAR system.
Re: Hey guys
Yea, no glass break sensor on most factory installed alarms for any car maker. If they opened the door from the inside after breaking the glass it should have went off though. That's pretty much it.
If the key fob is outside the car, and you push lock the alarm activates. Any door gets opened, truck included, or iginition gets tampered with as in trying to mess around to hotwire.... then the alarm goes off
Re: Hey guys
btw this^^ happened when my wife wanted to stay in the car while i ran out quickly and locked the doors and took the key with me. she went to open her door and she was stuck there with the alarm going off while i was inside unaware.
was funny for me, but she was not impressed. haha

"There is an option to upgrade to the more expensive alarm, which is factory installed but dormant until activated which you have to pay for. I'm not sure if they're all the same but my car came with the KAR system."
An upgrade to the alarm system from the factory?
Could you please expound on this (jd31) - because I do not understand how the alarm could be upgraded.
On a side window - (hafalex) the person who broke in to your WK2 must have been persistent, as all of the glass is "safety" glass (similar to that of the winshield). Just firing a rock and hitting the window would basically make a mess but not break completely. Someone would have to throw very hard, hit the middle (of the side window) poke a hole and rip out the chunks by hand to get in. All just to grab a thing in reach (like an Ipod, wallet, purse, etc) and not open the door from having broke the window. At the point that the door is opened from the outside, and the "alarm" (or, more specifically the subroutine within the controller module) does not sence the FOB in the area to request the unlock - the alarm will sound.
Sorry to hear that you were victim to a petty thief. Those are the worst type in my eyes. All of that damage plus having lost a small personal item likely is not even going to add up to the deductible (~$500 I presume), and just a real PITA.
Re: Hey guys
yea it sucked. It looks like the held the rock in their hand and punched out the window near the top, because the crome around the windows has a dink in it. The worst part about all of it was they didnt take anything. They smashed my window and left, but of douche bag thieves if you ask me
Re: Hey guys
Re: Hey guys
If you want the shock sensors and starter disable feature, you have to "upgrade". They offer this upgrade during the financing...it's one of the options they try to sell you. If you pay the fee, their electrician will basically wire the alarm and enable these features.
Re: Hey guys
Thanks jd31: I don't recall fielding this offer during financing. Maybe because I was a complete pain in the ace having ordered my JGC ("special") and financed less than the typical person.
Re: Hey guys
Maybe they gave it to you pro bono (hopefully)...I personally think having to pay for the activated alarm is a bunch of BS. It's no additional cost and it states on the sticker that an alarm is included. Maybe they should be more clear about what that entails exactly.
Or...my cynical side is thinking, maybe the alarm is supposed to be activated by default but some dealers use it as a landgrab for more money.
Has others been propositioned by their dealer for the upgraded license?

text: TORONTO, May 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Brookfield Real Estate Services Inc. (the Company) (TSX: BRE), a leading provider of services to residential real estate brokers and their REALTORS®¹, today announced that cash flow from operations ("CFFO") for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $5.6 million or $0.436 per restricted voting share ("Share"), compared to $5.6 million or $0.434 per Share for the same period in 2012. Royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $8.1 million, down slightly from $8.2 million for the same period in 2012. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.5 million, or $0.06 loss per Share, as compared to net loss of $3.2 million or $0.33 loss per Share, for the same period in 2012. OVERVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS During the Quarter the Company generated CFFO of $5.6 million, which was up slightly from the same period of 2012. The tightening of mortgage-lending rules introduced in July 2012, contributed to a pull of market activity into the first half of 2012, resulting in an abnormally active comparative period. Royalties were down slightly this quarter as the industry returns to more normalized transactional patterns and cycle over the last year's period of heightened activity. Offsetting this decrease was a $0.2 million reduction in administration costs due primarily to a lower quarter-over-quarter bad debt provision resulting from the success of increased collection efforts as well as a reduction in professional fees as a result of the completion of activities in 2012 related IFRS requirements and the conversion of the Company from a Fund to a corporation. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Canadian market transactional dollar volume of $34.8 billion decreased by 12.2% from the same period in 2012, driven solely by a decrease in units sold. The average sales price of a home remained largely unchanged due primarily to a balanced market supported by reduced listings and low interest rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Toronto market transactional dollar volume was down 10.5% over the same period in 2012, also driven primarily by a decrease in home sale activity. "The first quarter of 2013 saw an unusual grouping of economic factors which brought stability to the Canadian housing market: consistently low interest rates, an expanding economy, with essentially flat home prices," said Phil Soper, President and Chief Executive Officer, Brookfield Real Estate Services Inc. "Together, these factors should mitigate the length and severity of the current cyclical correction." "We saw a year-over-year decline in sales volumes in the quarter, as the lingering impact of last summer's introduction of more restrictive mortgage rules affected entry-level buyers, and some sellers delayed listing their homes on speculation of a real estate price correction," continued Soper. "Buyers looking to make opportunistic purchases in a soft market, however, were largely disappointed as home prices held firm across almost all markets."

Gale force winds keep SES busy
State Emergency Service crews have worked into the night responding to about 70 calls for help after gale force winds lashed the Hunter region.
Wind speeds reached almost 90 kilometres an hour, keeping SES crews from Cooranbong, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie busy from early yesterday afternoon.
Duty officer, Mandy Hague says coastal areas bore the brunt of the winds.
"Those jobs consist of some minor roof damage, lots of broken branches, some yard maintenance things like broken fences, pergolas and things like that," she said.
"It's been enough to lift off some iron and a couple of awnings, lots of tree branches that sort of thing.
"It's just been so dry and everything's so brittle."
The SES says the gale force winds are a timely reminder for people to secure loose items around their homes.
Ms Hague says in such conditions, loose items can become potential missiles.
"As soon as the wind starts to get up all we can do is have a look in your back yard, see if there's anything that could take flight that you can anchor down or put in the shed," she said.
"General maintenance around the yard helps.
"If you know there's a couple of brittle branches that you can get to, snap them off so that they don't take flight in the wind.
"Even just a garden table and garden chairs can be picked up and do damage to something else as well."

primer wrinkling and i have a huge mess
I am painting a motorcycle fairing made of abs plastic. I dont know some of the steps i need to take to do this right so ive been at it a while. I started with a dime size dent in the back of the plastic. I now have a mess
i filled the dent with glazing putty (verrry shallow dent) and then continued to knock it down until i thought it was smooth. In sanding this i ate through some of the plastic down to the molding lines. this was not hard to do.....i was using 600 grit. plastic is definitely not as tough as metal. I just sanded the plastic and glazing putty down with 80 to get the new glazing putty to bond to the old. 80 grit eats plastic bad and i should have used 220....but i thought that new putty over old with 220 scratches wouldnt hold. I still dont know which is right.....im really new at all this..
I did some research and found out that bondo absorbs water and solvents. So I didnt know what to do. i sanded it and now i had to clean the dust off so it was clean. so i didnt know what to clean it with. I used wax and grease remover.....i still dont know if this was right.....i also cleaned it with water at some times because my sand paper kept loading up i decided to wet sand....and dont know if i was supposed to because bondo absorbs water
So now i have filler in there and filler on top of that and such. I sanded with 80 grit and then used wax remover and waited a while for it to dry out. Then put more filler on there because i didnt know how to sand it correctly, and what happened......the filler wrinkles on the outer edges in 2 spots.....i still dont know why. I sanded the wrinkled spot out and then thought........i will just put lots of spray can high build on it just to see what happens.....I used wax and grease remover to get the sanding
dust off and waited a while for it to evaporate. I then put on the high build in 3 coats.....i let it flash some between coats......the spot where i sanded the wrinkle off wrinkled again in both spots. Now i have uneven filler and have to put on more filler because i had to get the wrinkle out. with spray can primer over it and its wrinkled in two spots...
i have questions.... i put filler over plastic and used spray primer because im not good with bondo. spray can is cheap so i can learn.....with this primer...do i have to use plastic adhesive promoter on there.....if so then its too late and i will need to start over. i also used spray can because as im not good with bondo as i said.... i cant just put good high build on there and do body work over that like you can with epoxy because it will shrink. I must have redone the filler 5 times. i have 30 + hours in this piece and have picked up some knowledge but i have far to go.....
how in the heck do you clean bondo.
plastic promoter?
why did primer wrinkle?
what grit paper to sand bondo in order to get more bondo to stick?
this is a mess what should i do...i dont know what im doing....except trying to learn how to paint plastic parts........
Dont give up
You will beat it eventually. I am still learning also. I have sprayed several bikes and just finished a set for a 76 Z900 Kawasaki in diamond green. I have sprayed for a long time and still learning .You have contaminated the under surface somehow. I read on this site that if you spray on wax and grease remover out of a spray bottle and use a new rag ( to eliminate contaminants) and wipe off two or three times you should be able to use a highbuild primer/putty out of a putty gun (if you have a compressor and gun) to cover the abs. I normally wet the rag with wax and grease remover and wipe on with the rag. Try both ways.Pressure paks have lots of thinners to squirt through the tiny hole in the nozzle. Do you have a compressor and gun. When i spray over tank stripes with clear i always use a "dry spray" and gradually get wetter as the next coats are applied. If i used a coat with too much thinners the stickers would also wrinkle.
You need to create a barrier over the abs that is not too wet to allow your base coat a chance to cover without a reaction.
keep trying
Primer wrinkling
I have the same issue. I ended up sanding with 400 then 600 down to bare plastic on the wifes Burgman. wiped with Wax & Grease remover then sprayed adhesion promoter let dry then added SEM Flexible primer surfacer and all around the edges where the paint meets the plastic feathered edge I get wrinkles. Very odd
Instaed of filler you can disolve some ABS scrap in acetone and make kind of an ABS sludge to fill with. More sanding but no adhesion/absorbtion problems. Need to sand through the paint layer or it won't hold but that doesn't sound like your problem at this point.
What happening is anywhere you've sanded though the factory paint on your plastic the solvents are getting under the edge and reacting with paint lifting it off the plastic. You have to either strip all the old paint and start new or put down a good coat of a water base primer. Then let that dry good, prep and paint.
Years ago before we were FORCED (oh how we hate being forced to do things ) to use waterborne primer here in California we were THRILLED to use it on problem cars. Be it painted with cheap enamel or lacquer over poorly sanded enamel when you painted over them where there was a sand thru it would wrinkle like a madman. There was a waterborne primer called "Barrier coat" or something like that, "Wrinkle free" some name referring to burying some sensitive substrate. I remember in the lacquer days spraying over something that would wrinkle so bad you could almost HEAR it. Lacquer thinner is VERY aggressive and it would ATTACK soft substrates and wrinkle. A couple of coats of water borne primer and you could BURY it in lacquer sprayed wet with no problem, it was like magic.
Additional question
Sorry but I dont mean to hijack this subject but it was originally posted in 2009,
On your question, if you have a number of pieces with the "same" sand thrus and what not and it only lifted on a few, then it MUST be as I explained it. You have to look at it this way, they all AREN'T the "same"! Think about it, there must be SOMETHING different between the different spots. One wrinkled and one didn't, there is SOMETHING different between the two spots, you CAN'T have the exact same circumstances and end up with a different result, right?
So, knowing that they MUST be different in some way, OR the way they were sprayed were different in SOME way. Standing there looking at your wrinkled up mess you need to think about this to determine just was is causing it. If all substrates are exactly the same, if every sand thru is exactly the same, well, now it comes down to how it was sprayed or products used. SOMETHING was different. Be it was sprayed wetter (this is often the case as just as humans we can have varied ways we could do something) because it was a smaller part, was it sprayed wetter because we wanted more primer because of some deep scratches we knew didn't exist in the other areas? SOMETHING could have been done in spraying.
Now, if all that is the same, there was absolutely nothing that you can think of was different in spraying then it was that there was SOMETHING different about the substrate. In a wrinkling situation this difference would likely be that the primer or paint was originally painted in before you sanded it was sprayed over a poorly sanded surface. So just these areas wrinkling are effected. But SOMETHING is different between the spots wrinkling and spots not wrinkling.
Thanks Brian. What i meant by same was they were prepared the same. Two side panels off the bike had minor dings in the plastic that required sand down to the surrounding area to repair. These dings were about 6 inches apart so i sanded and area to combine them both rather than two seperate spots. Maybe not a good idea?? So after wiping down with Wax&grease remover and letting dry i hit it with the flexible primer sealer mentioned earlier. Came back about 20 minutes later and saw the ugly mess. I may have very well put it on to thick and will resand and try again. Thank you for your reply and tips
I gotta get this right afterall its the wifes bike and she is ready to ride and we all know if momma aint happy......
RM use to make a water bASED PRIMER I don't know if they still do. It came in a small 2 qt can that looked like a little barrel. You couldn't let it freeze or it was junk. Here in mn the delivery drivers had to keep it in side the cab of the truck in the winter time. Took for ever to dry when you put on the right mils but stuff worked great. You could use it on a fresh enamel job and put lacquer over it and never lift.
When you cleaned it with wax and grease remover did you wipe on wet and then wipe dry with a clean cloth? If you wiped it then "let dry" it is possible this started the problem being wax and grease remover is very slow evaporating. If you didn't wipe it dry then let it evap a little too it is very possible the wax and grease remover was soaked up by something in the substrate being it the plastic it's self or primer or your filler or something. Then when it was primed being it was already wet and more than willing to fill right up with more solvent from the primer and lifted.
That certainly makes sense to Me Brian. Thanks. Here it what it looks like. U G L Y.
Also a pic of my first attempt at Silver base coat before the Candy Green. PLease scrutinize if possible. I'd like to know of veterans if it looks good

I don't see anything wrong in the second photo. But the first one isn't "wrinkling" at all, it's splitting. It too is caused by too much solvent. As it dries it splits like the mud in a river bed. This and lifting or wrinkling are two different animals.
Brian, before i sanded it the paint was wrinkled. It looked like a raisen lol. You are Correct sir. I seems i forgot that a rag it was using to wipe down after sanding had acetone on it from a previous job. It must have been absorbed to some degree i to the scuffed plastic and reacted when i sprayed the adhension promoter and flex primer. All good now thanks to everyones replies and lighter coats of the primer. Ready to lay down the green candy today. Fingers crossed.
I really need to use spell check. Geeze

Drywall rates?
I'm wondering what everyone is getting for drywall rates? I've heard that $1-$1.25 per sq ft is the nominal going rate for drywall installation, tape and float and have it ready for painting. I recently requested a bid and they quoted me somewhere around $3.50/sq ft.... I'm in a rural area, but that seems like highway robbery. Also, if there's anyone in SE Texas that wants work, I'd love to get a bid from you!
The quote isn't simply a matter of sq. ft. The onsite conditions will play a part, especially if it's a complicated job.
Drywall rates? On-site conditions
Onsite conditions: I've removed all of the former ceiling, so that bare rafters are showing. I.e., there's no old-drywall to remove. I've already installed the electric boxes where I want them. It's ready for someone to come in and start putting drywall in place. The house is on pilings, so, yeah, they'd have to carry the sheets up some stairs to the main floor. But, that's the only thing unusual about the job.
On a side query... while I'm waiting to find someone to do this -- or, to decided whether I should tackle it -- I'd like to cover the rafters with something so that my front room isn't exposed to the attic area. I was thinking about stapling Tyvek to the rafters... would that be okay? Would it have to be removed when the drywalling starts?
Details I was looking for would include:
Size of the area(how many sheets?)
Height of the ceiling?
Window,door returns?
Type of sheetrock?
Call in other contractors for an estimate. In my experience, commercial guys charge more then residential contractors.
Area is 44' x 26' .. I estimate 36 sheets of 4' x 8'
Height of the ceiling? 96 inches
Soffits? nope
Window,door returns? nope
Type of sheetrock? mold-resistant
-walls Nope
-ceiling Yes
This is just the ceiling of the large living room area, at 96 inches.
Any opinion about using Tyvek to seal off the rafters?
So the entire job is ceiling work. Pro's will use 10-12' sheets to minimize the joints.
I see no problem with Tyvek in that application.
That's $4000.+ for the job. That seems very high to me.
Thanks for your comments!
Any comments about DensArmor mold-resistant drywall? If I were trying to avoid possible future mold events, would this be worth installing over paper-backed products?
I've never used the product myself. I've never had an issue with just moisture resistant sheetrock(greenboard).
Yes, part of the roof came off and there was a lot of water (from rain) that came in through that route, ruining the suspended ceiling that was there. I ripped out the grid and plan to install greenboard or this DenArmor, just in case there is water incursion in the future.
Greenboard is pretty good with water. I'm renovating a vacation house in upstate NY for a customer whose pipes froze last Winter. Water sprayed on the back of the greenboard for a week or so. It's still intact. The paper is still attached and the tiles are still on the front. I was very surprised at it's resilience.
Once I finish the first floor, the second floor will get gutted and cement board installed in the shower, but for now it's the only functioning bath in the house.
I don't know how well it would have done in your situation though.
Whatever material you chose, the weak link will be the compound, as it's water soluble.
I just had my 30'x46' garage ceiling hung, taped, KD textured and painted. 4'x12'x5/8", $2100.
Thanks comp1911! I appreciate the photo and the price you paid. $1.52 sq ft is a whole lot cheaper than what I was quoted.
do those two prices stated above include the price of the rock?? OR just labor ,,,finish materials only???
In my case ($4000+ for 44' x 26') was for all labor and materials.
iirc I had a project quoted with DensArmor mold-resistant drywall a couple of years back and it was more than double the standard rate due to:
1) cost of material compared to standard drywall
2) finish required a level 5 finish (ALL rock skimmed with mud/sanded, due to the texture of the sheetrock). This is opposed to just taping/mudding the seams/corners.
You may want to check with your drywall contractor and see how it would compare with standard sheetrock before you start thinking you're getting ripped off....just a thought. Doesn't hurt to ask for an explanation.

Assessment of morphology for anaerobic-granular particles
Item TypeJournal Article
MetadataShow full item record
This study shows that a proper assessment of granule morphology is fundamental before applying any mathematical derivation or empirical formula based on the shape factor of anaerobic-granular particles to determine granular characteristics. The granular images and size distribution of samples observed in this study revealed two different dimensions along two axes, which characterize these particles as ellipsoids. In the literature, theoretical-settling velocities and particle-size distribution of anaerobic granules have been calculated by assuming granules as spherical-shaped and using the numerical correlation between the size and settling velocity. This resulted in large deviations in results reported for settling velocities and size distribution calculated by using empirical equations when compared with experimentally measured values. It is believed that, because of the nonspherical nature of these particles, errors have been made in the earlier studies (which considered these particles as spherical), while evaluating granular-physical properties.

QKShooter, that's a beautiful old Colt! Thanks for the pic.
This is a discussion on My Antique PLAIN JANE COLT Pic. within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Here is a pic of one of my antique Colt U.S. ARMY 45 pistolas. The photo is a little blurry but the pistol is nice ...
Here is a pic of one of my antique Colt U.S. ARMY 45 pistolas. The photo is a little blurry but the pistol is nice & crisp.
I still carry & shoot it every once in a while. It has absolutely no frills.
It features the usual tiny, crappy, nearly invisible, Colt military sights with NO modifications or alterations having ever been done to this all original old workhorse slabsides. The original checkered walnut grips are nearly worn smooth.
Even though the barrel is not throated & the ejection port is not opened up it still feeds my normal, modern, "non~ball" ammo perfectly.
It's been "in the family" for a good number of years and it's about due for a new recoil spring.
Folks have told me not to shoot it & just to LOOK at it Sooo... ~~ (of course) I don't pay any attention to them AT ALL and I still DO shoot it!
They can put it in a glass case and just look at it all day long after I'm dead & buried and they are finished dancing on my grave.

QKShooter, that's a beautiful old Colt! Thanks for the pic.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Is that a lanyard loop on the mag base I see.? Nice gun .
I'm with you QKShooter, if I'm gonna own a gun, then by golly I'm gonna shoot it! Thanks for pic....good lookin in my book!
Firearms are built for shooting! If I want something to just look at, I'll hang a picture. Nice pistola, senor!
If total government control equals safety, why are prisons so dangerous?
Yep, meanwhile I was searching E-bay a few times for an original old military lanyard.
Cripes! Are they expensive these days...or what?
There is no way that I'm paying $50.00 ~ $60.00 for a doggone lanyard.
This old horsey pistol is really accurate for a military Colt....must have been a good year.
The barrel is still in great shape with only a slight amount of slop in the slide/frame fit. It has a very consistent "lock up" & that is what is important to get decent accuracy in a Colt.

Nuthin "Plain Jane" about that good lookin thang! Say, if ya don't want it......I have a wife I'll trade ya for her <Just kiddin>
that Colt's "summda spicy meata ball"
Great looking gun, QKShooter! I just love the look and feel of a 1911. They really are a work of art....
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
i got a couple of those when I was out on Seattle.workin in a shop named "Warshall's" located on Frist and Madoison. An older gent, about 78 yrs young came in and sold me two colts.. 1911's. One with 3 Keyhole mags.and mag pouches the leather holsters to go with em. he sold em to me for 125.00 each......along with a K38 22 cal 6 inch Smith & Wesson. the Smith went one way.and the two colts went home with me...... I still have em....One has the "pearl " grips...made out of Aircraft metal and windshield. the other has some sort of bamboo type grips on it.but both are about 75% bluing.
They sound great! Unreal Price!
Ahhh...No Thanks...I already have a wife...how 'bout you take MY wife & I'll throw in the Colt?
I sold a pair of those on Ebay about 4 years ago.
WWII Bomber Windshield "PlexiGlass" (whatever) Grips.
They were pretty "crazed" & yellowed and slightly beat up looking but, they did real well for themselves on Ebay.
Our guys used to put "Girly" pictures behind them to make "war time" custom Colt grips!
Thanks Bumper...Me Too! I just love those klunker Colt pistols!

That appears to be a genuine 1911 from what i can see in the pic.
Not a 1911A1...correct?
very nice!

Mission insignia
Paolo Angelo Nespoli (Milan, 6 April 1957) is an Italian astronaut and engineer. In 2007, he first traveled into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery as a mission specialist of STS-120. In December 2010 he again traveled into space aboard the Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft as an Expedition 26/27 flight engineer.
Nespoli's hometown is Verano Brianza, in northern Italy. He is married to Alexandra Ryabova and they have one daughter and a son. Nespoli enjoys Scuba diving, piloting aircraft, photography, building electronic equipment and computer software.[1]
He received his bachelor's degree in Aerospace engineering in 1988 and his master's degree in 1989 in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Polytechnic University in New York.
He is a professional engineer, a private pilot, an advanced scuba diver and a nitrox diver. Due to his military background, he is also a master parachutist, parachute instructor, jump master, high altitude low opening and Special Forces operator. He joined the Italian Army in 1977.
Nespoli has received the following awards:
- 2007 NASA Spaceflight Medal
- 2007 Commendatore Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana
- 2009 Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella della solidarietà italiana
He received the America Award of the Italy-USA Foundation in 2015.
Astronaut career[edit]
In July 1998, he was selected as an astronaut for Italian Space Agency (ASI) and in August 1998, Nespoli was assigned by the European Space Agency to train at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
On 23 October 2007 Paolo launched on board STS-120 to the International Space Station; the Space Shuttle mission which delivered the Harmony module (formerly known as Node 2) to the International Space Station. Harmony was built by Thales Alenia Space at its facility in Turin, Italy. He participated as a mission specialist and remained in space for 15 days, 2 hours and 23 minutes. During STS-120, he participated in the Esperia mission for the European Space Agency.[2]
Expedition 26/27 'MagISStra'[edit]
Paolo Nespoli served as first flight engineer for Expedition 26/27, Europe's third six-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS).[3]
On 15 December 2010 Nespoli flew aboard the Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station with the Russian cosmonaut Dmitri Kondratyev and NASA's astronaut Catherine Coleman. The three members of the crew returned to Earth in May 2011. This mission, dubbed 'MagISStra', is Paolo Nespoli's second flight in space.
From December 2010 to May 2011, Paolo Nespoli's duties[4] aboard the ISS included participating in the docking operations to receive Europe's second Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV-2) "Johannes Kepler", a visiting spacecraft that will deliver essential cargo to the Station. In early January, Nespoli filmed the majority of the footage for the documentary film First Orbit, and as a result is credited as its director of photography.
Nespoli took part in the arrival of the second Japanese HII Transfer Vehicle (HTV-2), an unmanned spacecraft used to resupply the ISS. He was the prime operator for berthing the HTV-2 to the ISS after the free-flying vehicle was captured by NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman. In May 2011, Space Shuttle Endeavour has delivered the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) to the ISS.
During Nespoli's stint with Expedition 27, his mother, Maria, died on 4 May 2011. The crew observed 1 minute of silence the following day around the time of her funeral.[5]
Paolo Nespoli carried out an intensive programme of experiments in the Station, ranging from radiation monitoring to measurements that could improve oil recovery in petroleum reservoirs. The mission scientific programme covered different fields on human research, fluid physics, radiation, biology and technology demonstrations.
Nespoli contributed to the scientific exploitation of Europe's Columbus laboratory. As an astronaut, he carried out several experiments for ESA, NASA and also the Japanese and Canadian space agencies. During the mission, Paolo participated in some educational activities: the educational programme "Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut" which gave children the chance to follow an international initiative built around health, well-being and nutrition. He also participated in a greenhouse activity in space. Nespoli used ESA's novel 3D camera to show images of the ISS.
As Paolo left the ISS on 23 May 2011 in the Soyuz TMA-20 he was able to take the first pictures of a space shuttle docked with the ISS from the perspective of a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.[6]
Expedition 52/53[edit]
Nespoli is scheduled to be a part of Expedition 52/53, which starts in 2017. He will launch on Soyuz MS-05.

Many SEC programs know of Amir Ealey from his time in South Carolina. Alabama, on the other hand, found him at Coatesville.
The class of 2015 tight end camped with the Crimson Tide Monday, and believes an offer could be on the way following it.
"It went great," Ealey said. "The best part was talking to [head] Coach [Nick] Saban about the potential offer and getting out there and putting in work and showing what I can do.
"He was telling me he really liked what he saw today and how I was coming out of my routes."
Tuscaloosa was the first stop of the week for the three-star, who will visit Penn State Friday for its 7-on passing camp with his Coatesville teammates before camping at University Park Saturday.
Monday was all about the Crimson Tide, though. Ealey said besides Saban, he spoke with Alabama tight ends coach Bobby Williams.
"As far as the chances of pulling an offer, he said they are high," Ealey said of his chat with Williams. "They said they love the whole camp [performance] and it seemed like every coach knew my name and where I was coming from.
"They showed me a lot and said they like my film."
Ealey added his first opportunity to chat with Williams showed him just what the Crimson Tide assistant is all about.
"Coach Williams is a great coach to play for," Ealey said. "He's real chill and laid back, and he makes sure you do everything right.
"The whole coaching atmosphere, it just seems right. They're champions, but they're cool and coaches that have an ability to win. And they care."
A trip to Ohio State could be added July 25, though the tight end said he had to talk with his father about it first. He also is considering getting back to West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Clemson, and South Carolina before Coatesville kicks off camp in early August.
As for Penn State, he has a simple goal for his two days of working out in front of and with the Lions' staff.
"I just want to show them that I'm the best tight end in Pennsylvania," Ealey said.

|View Poll Results: Is the thanks button a useful addition to the forum?

And I'd just like to add that this isn't personal. Until poncho said he added it, this wasn't known, nor does it matter if JC hisself added it.
I just can't believe this is such a big deal. One of the things it means is a person with more thanks is more of a "contributor". Someone who comes by once a month isn't going to have any "Thanks". He may be brilliant but he doesn't help people and get "thanks" bestowed upon him.
What big deal???
Now, one more shot at dispelling the notion of somehow this thread is a big deal:
Just because there's give and take between members, and that some like something and others not so much, this conversation doesn't- to my way of thinking- rise to a level even approaching a 'big deal'.
Fact- There have been good points made, both for and against using a tally system like this. And the results are very evenly split. Even so, there has been not one word typed in anger, no name calling, no disparaging remarks, no threats of banishment or even so much as a gentle reprimand from a moderator, and it is in fact one of the more civil threads among members having different opinions that I've seen in quite some time.
BTW, you DO realize that you have more posts to this thread than anyone, me included, right?
|The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to cobalt327 For This Useful Post:
Joe G (11-29-2012), Valkyrie5.7 (11-29-2012)
See right here is the big deal... I guess..
I now have 11 to my count.. And didn't help anyone.. And if we go count the rest around here.. We will see the same thing...
I'm just saying.. Get to know someone if you need to know if he knows what he's talking about or not... Just becames someone can wear alot of metals,,Doesn't mean he is trustworthy... (I think we had a thread about someone like that... Fooled a lot of people..)
Don't judge me by how many stars I wear on my sleeve.. Judge me by reading what I post and do.. The ones coming here for help, Would have to take the time to look up all your thank yous,, So why can't that guy also look up what you post as well... Would take the same time to do both...
The only big deal with me is... It's NOT the best way to earn a key board reputation...
I think the way it was SET OUT to work isn't the way SOME want it to work..
If you really want people to NOTICE you.. Do a little work for it...
It's Kinda like RESPECT..
We don't need to wave a big flag look at me !!!!!
For me, I'm satisfied that it was meant just to be an easy way to acknowledge someone for something. Not to show status, or reliability, or trustworthiness, or to help guide new members.
Case closed.

FYI Guys
I went in today an was able to "remove my thanks" from cobalt (experimental reasons only) in the post that I made the other day, then immediatley add it back. So apparently just because you have been thanked does not mean you will retain such thanks.
I think that is going too far, if thanks are given then under what circumstances should they be revoked? does the one thanked get notification that his thanks has been revoked? good greif I hope not, if that is the case we might as well all be sitting under hair dryers and reading cosmo.
FWIW I think the thanks in the lounge should not count on ones total.
This was discussed briefly in the Mods forum. It is an easy way to say thanks to a poster for taking the time to contribute an answer or comment to a post without having to open a post just to do so. Just adding some politeness (is that a word?) to the forum.
We have a lot of regular members here that need a pat on the back occasionally for contributing on the tec stuff, although It doesn't have to be tech talk. Post counts help a little in some ways, but I think if a member sticks around for awhile, he can seperate the B.S, from the truth. There's been a bazillion posts on rust removal, a few membes butted heads. There's more than one way to skin a cat. There are plenty of helpful people here and that makes this site a great site.
Ponch is, IMO, our best Mod. He's come up with some great ideas and is always fair. We discuss things in the Mods forum, he's always kept an open mind. Running 2 websites of his own has given him some insight.
And if I weren't going to work this morning, I would go back and thank everyone for contributing to this thread. A good discussion.

@123pugsy: Thank you for the thanks!
@Cobalt: You're welcome.
@Dinger: Well, thank you for thinking about thanking me!
As far as Moe's suggestion, I think a helpful and not helpful button would be great on many websites, but perhaps not this one, only because you have just as many members weighing in an opinion of the value of a post that may not have the "qualifications" to do so. I'm not going to slight him though, it's a good alternative to the thanks button in a lot of situations.
I agree with Dinger that Ponch is a great mod and that although I'll probably still abuse the thanks button from time to time, it's a solid idea and I think it will help more than it may harm by a wide margin. Thanks Harry!

Minority children use appropriate car seats less often
By Kathryn Doyle
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Many kids are not put in car seats and booster seats as recommended, studies have shown. A new report suggests use may be particularly low among non-white children.
"We expected that differences in family income, parental education, and sources of information would explain the racial disparities in age-appropriate restraint use and they did not," lead author Dr. Michelle L. Macy told Reuters Health by email.
Certain parents may face barriers to car seat and booster seat use that researchers haven't discovered yet, Macy, a pediatrician at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, said. Or social norms could explain the differences between racial groups.
The new study took place in Michigan, where state law requires that children under four use a car seat and kids four to seven use a car seat or booster seat unless they are taller than 4 feet, 9 inches.
Experts generally recommend older kids under that height keep using a booster seat as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says all kids under 13 should ride only in the back seat.
The new study was based on surveys of 600 parents of kids ages one to 12.
Close to 3 percent of kids under age four ever sat in the front seat, compared to 10 percent of kids ages four to seven and 34 percent of kids ages eight to 12, according to findings published in Pediatrics.
Among four- to seven-year-olds, twice as many non-white kids sat in the front seat as white kids. For the other age groups, there was no difference based on race. Continued...
