I couldn't see my way. The darkness was closing in, as was the heat. The situation was getting dire, and I knew I had to do something.
That's when my wife told me it was time to get new lights for the garage.
A typical male, I tried to get the old fluorescent lights in our garage to go as long as they could, even as they were dimming more and more. But now it was time to take care of the situation.
And to my pleasant surprise, Home Depot did right all on its own.
I headed to my local Home Depot to pick up some Philips fluorescent light bulbs. The 10-pack was $19.99, right at $2 per bulb. A two-pack was $6.99, almost $3.50 each. With four bulbs in my garage and two in the utility room, the 10-pack made the most sense.
Except there were no 10-packs. The website showed they had them in stock, but I couldn't find any. A Home Depot employee was in the midst of helping another customer, and he helped me look briefly. He couldn't find any either, despite his computer showing there were supposed to be 76 in stock.
After much waiting and looking and more waiting, the 10-pack was nowhere to be found. So, the Home Depot associate said, "Here's what we are going to do: Since you've been so patient, I'm going to give you five two-packs for the same price as the 10-pack."
Five two-packs would have cost $34.95 versus the 10-pack at $19.99. This was a very generous and gracious response by the Home Depot employee. Not only did he say he would do this, he took care of it. He walked me to customer service and stood there with me for about five minutes as they took care of the transaction. I walked out with 10 bulbs for $19.99. Exactly why I went to Home Depot.
But how many of us walk away without getting what we want? Our forums are full of customers struggling to get a resolution to their advocacy problems. Most are much greater than my savings of $15. Regardless, a fair settlement is what most of us desire.
Short of a company doing right without being asked, how can you troubleshoot customer service complications?
Be courteous while asking.
One of the quickest ways to take care of an issue is to be nice. Develop a good rapport with the service representative by asking questions about them; speak in a calm, measured tone; tell them exactly what you want for a resolution. Don't demand, don't yell, and be courteous.
Talk to someone who can take care of the problem.
There are times the first line of defense for a company won't be able to take care of your problem because that person may not have the authority to solve the problem. Asking politely to move up the company ladder may be necessary.
Be realistic
Be clear about what you want. We hear lots of stories at Elliott.org of vacations gone wrong. If this is the case, don't expect a full refund. Think carefully about what is realistic for the company to do for you. Then be clear in asking for it.
Get it in writing.
A phone call may work. If it does, great. Ask for the resolution in writing so that you have proof. But if you're two or three phone calls in and not getting anywhere, it's time to begin communicating in writing. You can always check out our growing list of company contacts to determine who you should write.
Escalate the problem, but not too quickly.
Our advocates regularly advise people to follow this path:
- Send an email to customer service.
- Wait a week.
- If no response, write the first executive.
- Wait a week.
- If no response, write the second executive.
- Continue up the ladder.
One mistake that frustrated customers often make is to go nuclear when a little patience might pay off.
Take to social media.
If a company doesn't respond, social media is a great tool. The folks in their social media department usually won't know anything about your problem until you bring it to them, so don't shame or blast the company through social media. I will admit there are times I have wanted to unleash my full frustration of dealing with an issue for days or weeks, but be calm. Aware companies are doing more and more to solve issues on social media; there is much greater exposure if they don't.
Know when to give up
Alas, there is going to be a time when you don't get what you want, and there is not another avenue to pursue. Chris has a number of Case Dismissed stories when he couldn't get the desired resolution. When you've hit the ceiling and nothing is going to be done, it's time to give up.
My Home Depot experience should be the norm. Customers should be treated right without having to ask, fight, resolve. But most times we are not. So be ready to advocate for yourself. Be courteous, be persistent, be relentless, be wise.
You can do it. [But if you need us,] We can help.

I purchased these insoles after looking around and reading many reviews. They are pricy but worth the money. I have a high arch and walk on the outside of my feet so I was getting alot of pain in my legs when running. I have used these insoles for 2 weeks and the first few times I had pain in my knees where the insoles were correcting my feet now when I use them I dont have the pain amymore and im able to run again. I am considering buying another pair to go in my normal day shoes to keep helping correct my feet. Over all I'd say they are good, work well, comfortable and worth the money.

The Qfactor insoles fit my shoes without needing to be trimmed. I have a flattening left arch following a badly set broken ankle some years ago (done in foreign parts not in the UK) and these insoles provide support and are very comfortable. On finding them so good, I bought several more pairs to save having to keep moving them from one pair of shoes to another.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Review by dead_assassin
"This is Silent Hill....No I Was Asking a Question."
When I first heard about this game, and heard it was bringing back Harry Mason, I thought WOW! I was in awe. I was thinking "yes! Thank God!" I, being a huge fan of Silent Hill, was totally excited. The more I heard about the game as time went on, the more excited I became. Enhanced graphics? A psychology test that affects how the game plays out? A game where every choice you make matters and a game that "plays you the more you play it" and did I mention Harry Mason? I couldnt be happier. Well, thats what I thought. Not to spoil anything but my hopes were indeed a shattered dream more than a shattered memory.
The game follows, yes, Harry Mason after a car crash after a car accident, trying to find his daughter Cheryl. Alright, good. The graphics are beautiful, as promised. I was hoping this game would have been ported to the PS3 but that doesnt really matter in this case. Everything as far as gameplay, graphics and sound are perfect and really push the limits of the Playstation 2. After filling out the fun little psychology test at the beginning, which is always fun for me, you are put right into the action. Ok, Harry seems to have traded in his Jeep Wrangler for a station wagon. I guess I can get past that. The town sure looks gorgeous. The sounds are so crisp and realistic. Voice acting, character design, yes this all looks great. I sure feel I am getting my money's worth. Any enemies yet? No, hmmm I dont see any. Well maybe after everything turns to steel grating, blood, rust and creepy sirens. Cool, I get a cell phone that takes pictures and can make and receive calls. Freakin sweet! Oh look, the first monster! Wait a minute, ummm whats with the ice? Crap, I dont have a weapon! Oh wonderful, I dont get ANY weapons! You mean I have to freakin run from the enemies and escape through a specific door? Wow, thats a change of pace. I am used to whacking ugly demon kids with a steel pipe or even Yoda's light saber but I guess this can work. But the ice? Where is the creepy blood, body parts, all the freaky stuff that gave me nightmares since 1999??? Ok, benefit of the doubt. I will keep playing, hopefully this will work. Ummm, are there any other enemies than this same creepy thing that keeps outrunning me and giving me multiple unwanted hugs? Hey, thanks for the hug I guess. Have you seen my little girl anywhere? Hey, you're still hugging me! What kind of place is this?!!
Ok, a Silent Hill game lacking blood, weapons, fighting, sirens, and the Otherworld we have all grown to love despite the need for many therapy sessions. But hey, I get to color a picture of a house with a family and car outside. I admit, the therapy sessions are fun. Every answer affects everything, from the writings on the chalkboard, Harry's dialect and outfit, how he talks to people and what he says, and the endings. Many of you will still be bummed about the lack of fighting and the really creepy stuff like dismembered bodies pinned to fences, bosses, and general things that just mess with your head like ringing phones with no cords running to them,cats in lockers....well you all know what I am getting at. Is this game scary at all? Well, yeah. The chase scenes are frustrating yet scary. You will constantly be looking over your shoulder, freaking out because that damn creature is getting closer and closer. Praying you get to the door in time before it gives you the creepy hug. But you dont really have to worry, if you get hugged one time too many, you start right where you left off. Why wont Harry die? You'll figure it out soon enough.
Graphics: 10 (out of 10) These graphics are gorgeous. I dont have a single complaint. They are the best I have seen not only in a Silent Hill game, but on the playstation 2 itself. They rival that of Silent Hill Homecoming's (which was a GREAT game.) The graphics are what really make this game, if nothing else. I guess you can think of it as a remodeled/revamped Silent Hill, but I dont.
Sound/Music: 10. These guys knew what they were doing. Playing Silent Hill with the sound off is like watching a Halloween movie with the television on mute. The music and the sound is what scares the crap out of you. It sets the mood, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. Though they do not quite rival the original music and sounds of the original Silent Hill, they certainly work here.
Gameplay/Controls: 8. The controls are insanely easy. Since you cant fight anything, you just have to learn how to walk, look at items, open things and run like hell. Very simple actually. That is the only other thing that makes this game appealing and sets it apart from any other Silent Hill game, having to systematically open doors or use items a specific way. But this feature is what makes it the most fun on the Wii, not the PS2. So this feature would be alot more useful and score higher on the Wii console. If you have the Wii and the PS2, get the Wii version hands down. They got lucky this round.
Scare Factor: 3. Sorry, this game really isnt that scary. What is the standard of Silent Hill fear? BLOOD. GUTS. BODIES PINNED TO FENCES. DEMON CHILDREN. THOSE GOD AWEFUL SIRENS!!! None of which is in this game, unfortunately. Run, Harry, Run. They are gonna chase you and there isnt a thing you can do about it but run. It almost makes you hate the chase scenes. Ok, I hate the chase scenes. They are the least appealing thing about the game.
Replay Value: 7. You probably will be compelled to play the game a different way, answering questions differently to see how differently Harry acts, but that is about the only reason you will want to play this over and over.
Rent or Buy? Tricky. It all depends on how hardcore of a Silent Hill fan you are. I bought my copy and I want it in my collection, being I have all the other Silent Hill games. But some of you that have just one or a few of the games may find this game tireding after a while and will probably end up trading it in. But like I said originally, dont get your hopes up about Harry Mason returning. Do yourselves a favor, if you dont have the original, go on the playstation network and download Silent Hill for ps0ne for about $7.

Apple (AAPL), being among the U.S. stock market's top names in market capitalization, triggers an obvious question for buyers: How large can the company become? The other leaders, such as General Electric (GE), Exxon Mobil (XOM) and so forth, are considered "slow growers." At best, they can advance at 5% to 10% a year, tops, and are unlikely to outpace economic growth. With Tuesday night's blowout quarter at Apple, investors are happy -- but they're also asking whether the company is about to bump up against the law of large number.
Although Apple has grown into the dominant position in consumer electronics, and is surging in computers, the average Joe does not quite comprehend how small Apple still is relative to the markets it's addressing. Apple sells into three established markets: mobile phones, computers and consumer electronics (i.e., the iPod). I put the iPad in a separate category, since that is a new market with unknown ultimate size. Take a look at Apple's market share:
Mobile Subscribers: 11%
Computers: 13%
Music Players: 78%
While iPods have probably peaked, with units having declined 21% last quarter, the iPhone and Mac have barely begun to scratch their market-share potential. iPhone share could easily double or triple as corporations start to adopt them in place of Research In Motion's (RIMM) Blackberries. The iPhone is the leading wedge to bring the Mac into corporate settings.
Recent reports, such as the Wall Street Journal article about GE starting to allow Macs into their offices, indicates that the Wintel corporate monopoly is at risk (that is, Microsoft (MSFT) Windows and Intel (INTC)). If that floodgate opens, Macs could at least double market share or more, since the home market would now be owned by them. Then there is the iPad. Who knows how big that market can become? (That said, it is clearly cannibalizing some laptop sales.) Apple has at least a few years of stellar growth ahead, which is amazing, given its size already. At a single-digit multiple, moreover, you cannot argue that the growth is priced in.
I am especially intrigued by the headway the Mac is making in corporate settings. If GE is any indication -- and I hear this everywhere anecdotally -- companies feel they need to embrace the Mac in order to be considered "cutting-edge" for recruiting purposes. If the Wintel monopoly is broken, and this is possible, then Microsoft will obviously be in deep trouble. Right now, I am starting to consider Microsoft a "run-off" company. I borrow that term from the insurance industry -- some companies stop writing new policies and just let the liabilities "run off" over time, collecting the investment income along the way.
Microsoft simply does not have a competitive product anymore. The Apple experience is superior because the company tightly controls it via hardware and software integration. Microsoft's user experience is poor, by contrast, because this company controls neither the total stack nor the hardware. I predict Microsoft will come to this realization within three years. I forecast it will then buy a major hardware player (such as Dell (DELL)) in an attempt to restore its competitiveness by fully controlling the user experience. Oracle (ORCL) already figured this out on the server side, which is why it purchased Sun Microsystems.

Cape Town - Scores of people filed into Khayelitsha Stadium in Cape Town ahead of a Cosatu May Day rally on Thursday.
A large gathering of children skipped, danced and had cartwheel competitions on the field to funky beats.
People stood around in mostly long-sleeved red and yellow African National Congress and Congress of SA Trade Unions shirts, under jackets to guard against a nip in the air.
Some grabbed a spot near the stage and sat down on picnic blankets. Others sang struggle songs to pass the time. Curious youths peaked through the stadium's barbed-wire fence to see why they had been woken up by loud music on a public holiday.
Police and paramedics watched from the side. Marshals in neon yellow vests lined the field.
Minibus taxis and buses lined up outside the stadium to drop commuters off. By 11am, around 300 people were on the field.
The weather was expected to play along and no rain was expected for the day. ANC treasurer general Zweli Mkhize was among the speakers expected to address the crowd later. - Sapa

Rock Salt/Rock Salt Gun
Non-lethal weapon and ammunition often used by police to control crowds or riots. Spirit hunters also use them as a defense against ghosts and other supernatural spirits. The fired salt alone will not destroy the spirit, but it does act as a deterrent, forcing the spirit to dissipate briefly.
The idea of using salt as a supernatural deterrent was "invented" by writers Ron Milbauer and Terri Hughes Burton. Eric Kripke agreed it "...was the perfect combination of occult element – salt is a folkloric repellent of evil – and the blue-collar aspect of shotguns."S1Com, p. 47-48. At Salute to Supernatural L.A. 2009, a fan asked Jensen and Jared how Ruby could eat fries, presumably with salt on them, if she was a demon. The question was also put to Eric Kripke at Comic Con 2009.
In The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls Sam and Dean mention that they know hunters who salt their beer. This practice stems from an old Scottish tradition in which salt was added to a batch of mash to keep witches away.BoM
Ring of Salt
A positive symbol of protection used against demons and evils protecting or trapping anything within it.
– Pad of Definitions, (1.20 Dead Man's Blood), Official Website
Salt is used in:
- Shotgun shells, to disperse ghosts as well as slow down demons.
- As protection of space – laid in an enclosing ring or around the boundaries of a room to prevent spirits and demons from entering.
- To purify a corpse before burning its bones – commonly known as a "salt and burn."

Simple remedies are always the best. In most cultures, salt's a symbol of purity, so it repels impure and unnatural things. Same reason you throw it over your shoulder.
1.01 Pilot
When Sam and Dean find John's motel room, Sam notices the line of salt on the floor.
1.07 Hook Man
"Hook Man" is the first episode in which salt was used as a weapon against spirit of Jacob Karns.
Dean: [hands Sam a shotgun] Here you go.
Sam: If it is a spirit, buckshot won't do much good.
Dean: Yeah, rock salt.
Sam: Huh. Salt being a spirit deterrent.
Dean: Yeah. It won't kill 'em. But it'll slow 'em down.
Sam: That's pretty good. You and dad think of this?
Dean: I told you. You don't have to be a college graduate to be a genius.
1.10 Asylum
While investigating the Roosevelt Asylum, in Rockford, Illinois, Sam and Dean enter the Asylum armed with shotguns and rock salt. Dean is able to dispatch the spirit of Sanford Ellicott when he salt and burns Ellicot's remains.
1.13 Route 666
Sam and Dean fish out the remains of Cyrus Dorian from a swamp and salt and burn his body. However, as some of the remains had fused with Dorian's truck salting and burning did not work.
1.17 Hell House
Sam and Dean attempt to use shotgun shells filled with rock salt against Mordechai Murdoch, however when rock salt proves ineffective, they later realize they aren't dealing with a spirit, but tulpa.
1.19 Provenance
Sam, Dean and Sarah Blake salt and burn the remains of Isaiah Merchant, when they believe him to be the spirit behind the murders of his paintings owners.
1.22 Devil's Trap
While interrogating, and ultimately exorcising the demon Meg, Bobby salts all doors and windows in his home, as a means of keeping any other demons from entering. When rescuing their father who has been held captive in an apartment complex, Sam and Dean trap the demons guarding John in a closet, and place a line of salt in front of the door, Sam then proceeds to salt the bedroom door and the windowsill to keep any other demons from following them as the escape.
2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown
Thinking they are dealing with a spirit, Dean shoots the rakshasa with rock salt, which has no effect.
2.06 No Exit
Sam and Dean use Jo as bait to trap the ghost of Dr. H.H. Holmes in an underground chamber. When Holmes begins to approach Jo, she dives out of the chamber where several bags unroll and spill salt in a perfect circle around Holmes, trapping him forever.
2.16 Roadkill

Salt in Lore
The practice of putting down an enclosing ring of salt (or salting the doors and windows of a room) for protection lies in the lore that a vampire or demon cannot cross the line without counting each grain. The impossibility of this task thus prevents the demon from crossing the threshold/line, and thus a thicker line is used where the threat is greater.
In vampire lore, it is not required to be salt - it can be any form of grain (rice, millet, etc).
According to Christian demonology, demons and the Devil in particular hate salt. Salt is used as a talisman against evil (e.g. rock salt worn as an amulet), preemptive defensive magic, to dispel enchantment, and is used in a variety of spells both ancient and modern.
The popularity of salt could be related to the fact that salt is a natural preservative and antiseptic that has long been used as a purifying agent in folk magic. In some Christian rituals of baptism, especially in Catholicism, salt is put on the lips of the child during the ceremony of the baptism as a symbol of wisdom. The dislike for bread can be explained because it represents the body of Jesus for Christians and is transubstantiated into his flesh during the Mass.
Salt's power may be attributed to its purity. However, there are those who hold that in magic salt may actually represent semen [1].
In 1977 rock salt and a rock salt shotgun were used in the Doctor Who episode "Image of the Fendahl" written by Chris Boucher. The rock salt was used to kill the psychokinetic fendahleen.
- Doctor: Sodium chloride. Obviously affects the conductivity, ruins the overall electrical balance, and prevents control of the localized disruption of the osmotic pressures.
- Leela: Salt kills it.
- Doctor: I just said that. Probably the origin of throwing it over your shoulder.

What the BCS and the Electoral College Share
Steve Chapman argues that the Bowl Championship Series, which decides which college football team wins the national title—Auburn and Oregon clash tonight—shares some unseemly attributes with the Electoral College.
Thanks to the arcane way we elect presidents, the loser of the popular vote can take the presidency (in a hypothetical case like, oh, the 2000 election). Similarly, in football, Texas Christian went undefeated this year, "Yet the Horned Frogs will be at the BCS championship game Monday evening only if they buy tickets." Chapman concludes:
Both the BCS and the Electoral College have their staunch defenders (including, in past years, me). But the virtues ascribed to each amount to lame rationalizations for a mess we can't seem to escape. We are hostages, and some of us have succumbed to Stockholm syndrome, coming to identify with our captors.
We may have to live with these ridiculous, outmoded methods. But we don't have to kid ourselves.

Tarzan, alongside Sherlock Holmes and Dracula, has had more movies produced about his adventures than any other literary hero, but it's been forever since we've had a proper big screen production about the ape man, who crashlanded in the jungle as a baby, was raised by gorillas and eventually served as the jungle's protector from greedy ivory merchants (and Nazis and mermaids, but let's pretend that never happened). The last time Tarzan had a theatrical release in America was Walt Disney's 1999 animated movie, which won an Oscar for Best Song but has otherwise slipped quietly out of the public consciousness altogether. But Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation remains a pop culture icon, and Warner Bros. is eager to make him a blockbuster star. That's probably why they've reportedly attached director David Yates, who helmed the last four uber-successful Harry Potter movies, to their new reboot of the franchise.
Tarzan has been in development for years at the studio, with multiple screenplays being developed concurrently last year by Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer and Jack Ryan screenwriter Adam Cozad. It's unknown either of their scripts are being considered for Yates' version of the film, but it's likely the director – who has an understandable amount of clout now – will want to start from scratch with his own vision of the jungle hero. The real question on everyone's minds is who will play the title role, which will require rugged charisma and intense physical challenges emulating ape behavior and swinging from vine to vine in the brush?
Yates is already meeting with several young stars for the role according to Vulture, the site that broke the story. Amongst the actors being considered for the role are "True Blood's" Alexander Skarsgard, Pacific Rim's Charlie Hunnam and Man of Steel's Henry Cavill. Warner Bros. is also reportedly interested in casting Tom Hardy, who co-starred in their recent summer blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises, for the part. Although we imagine Hardy would be fantastic in the part, his interest level is unknown.
Who would you like to see cast as Tarzan in a new big-budget adaptation of the adventure saga? Let us know in the comments below.

Cape Town - Patrick Craven has been tricked. Cosatu's national spokesman appears to have fallen victim to an April Fool's prank that revealed that motorists could escape e-tolls by driving at exactly 113km/h.
According to a report in The Times, a whistleblower had come forward to show that e-toll cameras could not capture registration numbers of cars that travelled at 113km/h.
It said that Kapsch, the Austrian company responsible for the development of the e-tolling system, had warned Sanral to remove the glitch from the system, known as Prying on Every Person Holding Out Legally (Poephol).
Soon after reading the article, Craven leapt to his keyboard and issued a sternly-worded - and self- congratulatory release - that this revelation would give a boost to Cosatu's "determined campaign to defeat this attempt to privatise our highways".
Craven even quoted a Kapsch document which stated: "Right from the word go we warned Sanral to ensure that they had a highly secure Poephol."
Craven wasn't the only one caught out on Tuesday. Springbok purists ranted about SA Rugby magazine's report that the Boks would be wearing a new red and gold kit when they play against Wales on June 14.
Unfortunately, Graeme Smith isn't launching a party to contest the election as was reported by the Cape Times' Sally Forpodia (an anagram of April Fool's Day) on Tuesday.
An advert in the Cape Times said the government was going to introduce a sex tax. A link at the bottom of the ad directed readers to Lovers+condoms website which had the message: "Fool around this April Fool's Day".
Other pranks included a DA announcement that the Western Cape would pay for a multimillion-rand upgrade to Premier Helen Zille's private home in Rosebank. Now where is the premier going to put her Fire Jacuzzi?
In a follow-up tweet, the DA said: "The ANC has responded to this news with outrage. ANC spokesperson Mr Jack Daniels Mthembu said that 'there can only be one Number One'."

JULIA Gillard has hit back angrily at Tony Abbott's ''new low in negativity'' after the Opposition Leader criticised the government's budget cuts to defence during his visit to Washington.
''He has gone overseas, talked our nation's national security credentials down, having voted for the defence budget he is now criticising,'' she said.
Appearing at the Heritage Foundation, the US' most prominent conservative think tank, Mr Abbott was asked if he was worried about Australia's cuts to its defence budget.
He said he believed savings were possible in this area, but ''it was irresponsible to save money in defence in a way that compromises your military capability, given that Australia's military capabilities are not vast''.
''As a result of defence cuts in the recent budget, Australia's defence spending as a percentage of gross domestic product is now at the lowest level since - wait for it - 1938. So that is quite a concern,'' said Mr Abbott, who is in the US for the Australian American leadership dialogue.
In his speech he said: ''We are more than allies, we're family. Around the world we seek no privileges, ask no favours, crave no territory.''
The US continued to have the world's largest economy and remained the nation the world turned to in times of trouble or disaster. ''What's remarkable is that, right now, perhaps for the first time, the world appears to have more confidence in America than America has in itself,'' he said. Members of the Democrat administration and senior Republicans have voiced concern at Australia's defence budget and those of NATO member nations.
The budget cuts reduce the defence budget from 1.8 per cent of GDP to 1.56 per cent.
Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state in the Bush administration, this week described the Australian defence budget as ''inadequate''.
Last week the top US Pacific commander, Admiral Samuel Locklear, warned ''your defence is not something you can turn on and off with a switch''.
But Ms Gillard said the first time Australia's defence budget ever topped $100 billion was under this government ''and it is still over $100 billion''.
She had spoken to Admiral Locklear and ''he said he understands nations have to make their own decisions about defence expenditure, and his nation, the US, is taking some decisions, too, that are very tough in its budget circumstances''.
In an interview with Sky TV, Mr Abbott praised former PM Kevin Rudd, who is also attending the dialogue. ''I have to say the contributions that I've heard from Kevin Rudd have been highly sophisticated and very much to the point,'' he said.
Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury said it was ''extraordinary that the man who would be the alternative prime minister is out there trashing Australia's national security credentials, and doing it to an international audience''.
He said the praise of Mr Rudd was ''a bit of mischief from Mr Abbott''.

This symphony, considered the most important large-scale work completed by the composer himself, is a spectacular piece with four distinct movements that reflect his operatic works at the time. It is powerful, playful, lyrical, wild, and exciting, resulting in a compelling experience for musicians and audiences alike.
This program is sponsored jointly by CDRC ;and the First Congregational Church. A $15 donation is suggested for adults. Admission for students is free and no one will be turned away. For more information about PBSO, visit eastportartscenter.com.

Monitor Shopping Tips
Try before you buy. When it comes to choosing the monitor you will be staring at for the next few years, only your eyes can tell you if a monitor's image quality, resolution, and size are right for you. Don't buy displays over the Web or by mail order unless the seller has an unconditional return policy and, ideally, no restocking fee. Checking out models in a store can be helpful, but keep in mind that they are often hooked up to low-quality video signals and placed under different lighting from what you have in your office or home. If possible, try to find a vendor with a liberal return policy, so you can try the monitor in your own setting before committing to the purchase.
Check screen real estate. Make sure you have enough screen for what you need to do. Remember that the viewable area of a wide-screen monitor is generally comparable to the viewable area of a regular-format monitor that's 2 inches smaller. Similarly, the viewable size of a CRT is an inch or two smaller than the advertised tube size--so if you're switching from a CRT to an LCD, you may not need as big a monitor as you think. Also bear in mind that if you're switching from an LCD with a regular aspect ratio to a wide-screen one, the wide screen will have less real estate at the same diagonal measurement. A 19-inch wide-screen model is comparable to a 17-inch regular-format LCD. The current sweet spots for display size are the 19-inch regular-format LCD and the 20-to-22-inch wide-screen LCD, both of which provide plenty of desktop space for most users.
Gain more screen space by using two monitors. Consider using multiple smaller monitors instead of one big display. With the right video card, you can run two simultaneously off the same PC. A pair of 17-inch LCDs will let you do video or image editing in one window and word processing or Web browsing in the other. This arrangement can be a great way to get more use out of old monitors--even if you're upgrading to a larger monitor but you still have a reasonably good smaller monitor.
Consider USB ports. USB 2.0 connections are designed for quick and easy attachment of numerous peripherals. The number of ports provided varies with different models, as does their location; the most convenient ports are on the side of a monitor, not the back.
Decide whether you want speakers. The inclusion of speakers in a monitor can be a nice way to save space on your desktop. Their sound will rarely satisfy the discerning ear, but they can be suitable for day-to-day use. Some monitors have customized options for soundbars or side-mounted speakers. If you're picky about sound quality, save the money for a nice set of speakers with a subwoofer.
Donate or Recycle Your Old Monitor
Never, ever send your old monitor to the dump. Recycling is not only good for the environment, but it's also a legal requirement in some states that will not accept monitors in regular municipal landfills. Most LCDs contain lead, and nearly all contain mercury. CRTs contain 4 to 6 pounds of lead plus other toxic materials that could leach into the soil and water in minute quantities if not properly disposed of.
As long as your old monitor is still working, it could be useful to someone else. Check local listings for charities that accept computer equipment. If you'd like to help a lucky individual, join your local Freecycle group or post a notice in the Free section of the For Sale category of Craigslist in your region. If you're sure your old monitor won't be any good to anybody any longer, check with the vendor or your local government to find recyclers in your area that can handle monitors. Many vendors actively promote recycling, and can assist with the disposal of an old monitor.

M/A-COM targets new GaAs process as competitor to SiGe RF chips
Post a comment
LOWELL, Mass.--M/A-COM Inc. here today unveiled a new gallium-arsenide (GaAs) process with an enhancement/depletion (E/D) mode that serves stringent linearity and single-supply voltage requirements in cellular phones, wireless network systems, and communications infrastructure equipment.
Cell phone transceivers produced with the new GaAs process will offer more than 50% lower current consumption for equivalent radio-frequency (RF) performance compared to new silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS products, according to the company.
The process has been transferred to a fabrication plant in Colorado Springs, Colo., and a recently acquired facility in Roanoke, Va., which was formally ITT GaAsTek. The new GaAs process supports the integration of high-frequency analog and high-speed digital circuits on the same chip, said M/A-COM, which now claims to be one of the few companies in the world producing gallium-arsenide E/D circuits.
The E/D mode process "allows M/A-COM to provide products with higher linearity and efficiency to today's wireless marketplace where battery life and talk time matter," said Larry Ward, general manager for the company's Integrated Semiconductor Business Unit. "It also positions us well to innovate the next generation of highly integrated solutions that the market will require."
Two field-effect transistor types are featured in the E/D process. One is an enhancement mode FET, which supports on-chip gain mode switching without a negative supply voltage. The other is a depletion mode FET, which is targeted at radio-frequency (RF) switching, mixing, and amplification, said the company.
The gallium-arsenide E/D process achieves Ft of 25 GHz and a Fmin of 0.3 dB with an associated gain of 16dB at 2 GHz, said M/A-COM.
The company also said it has begun volume production of the first two standard products in the process--the MD59-0021, which is a integrated low-noise amplifier/downconverter IC, and the MD59-0022, an integrated upconverter/driver. Both products are second-generation devices designed for digital PCS wireless phone applications and operate on a single 2.7-V supply.
"These two products represent the first of several standard converter offerings we will release in the PCS and cellular bands using the E/D process this year," said Suja Ramnath, product manager of the company's multi-function IC product line.

Exploration of Uranus
In 1986, NASA's Voyager 2 interplanetary probe encountered Uranus. This flyby remains the only investigation of the planet carried out from a short distance, and no other visits are currently planned. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Uranus on January 24, 1986, coming within 81,500 kilometers of the planet's cloud tops, before continuing its journey to Neptune. Voyager 2 studied the structure and chemical composition of Uranus's atmosphere, including the planet's unique weather, caused by its axial tilt of 97.77°. It made the first detailed investigations of its five largest moons, and discovered 10 new moons. It examined all nine of the system's known rings, discovering two new ones. It also studied the magnetic field, its irregular structure, its tilt and its unique corkscrew magnetotail caused by Uranus's sideways orientation.
A Uranus orbiter and probe has been recommended by NASA's decadal survey; the proposal envisages launch during 2020–2023 and a 13-year cruise to Uranus.

"Lakeview is their home"
Oconee County's small Lakeview Assisted Living Facility, to some, may be a place forgotten or ignored. But its importance is striking, according to Doug Wright. The executive director of Senior Solutions said it took him a couple of years to properly grasp the role that Lakeview plays for those seniors with basically nowhere to go. "The folks here depend on those who work here a great deal," Wright said. With a 19-bed capacity, Lakeview 18 of those beds were filled yesterday. Wright and others gathered yesterday to thank the Verizon Foundation for a $10 thousand donation.

As you know for the past year and a half we have been fighting hard against fracking here in Anson Co. With your support and persistence, we together were able to strategize and energize a grassroots effort to convince our county commissioners to place a five year moratorium on fracking in Anson Co. That was a great victory, but it was also a temporary "fence". Early this summer our NC state legislature has made fracking legal statewide. It is projected that the state will be issuing permits for oil and gas companies to drill as early as next spring 2015. Also the state as passed a state law to legally challenge our five year moratorium. We MUST put totogether more legal strategies to protect ourselves. ... READ MORE

Liam Power would love to tell you that his million-dollar company is the culmination of months of careful market research–putting together a glossy business plan and meeting financial benchmarks quarter by quarter, the whole story unfolding like a banker's entrepreneurial fantasy. "There was no grand plan," he admits. "I kind of fell into this."
"This" is his eponymous soccer-skills academy, Power Soccer, which teaches the nuances of the beautiful game to Toronto-area kids, aged four to 16, through clinics, winter soccer schools and holiday camps. Its flagship elite development academy, an invitation-only program, trains athletes nearly year-round with an eye toward prepping them to play soccer at the collegiate level, internationally or even in the professional ranks. But the 46-year-old Irishman and professional footie player isn't entirely accurate when he says he didn't delve into the market before starting up.
Year founded: 1996 Home base: Toronto 2010 revenue: $1-million+, up from $60,000 in its first year Number of locations: 10 Number of employees during the summer: 75 (there are just six the rest of the year) Number of kids Power trained in 2010: 3,000+
Power came to Canada in 1988. His accent and soccer expertise–he spent two seasons as a reserve player for Galway United in the League of Ireland first division–quickly earned him coaching gigs with competitive clubs around Toronto. It was then that he realized there was a broader demand for what he was doing. "I kept having parents of the kids I was coaching offering to pay me to coach their other kids," he says.
He started in a gym training a group of 14 players in 1996, and grew quickly enough that he could leave his career in sales and marketing a couple of years after that. Today, he's planning Power Soccer's 15th anniversary.
Lessons Learned
- Branding matters. Since he was blessed with a catchy surname, figuring out what to call his business wasn't difficult. But Power wishes he'd been able to focus sooner on creating a logo. With a background in sales, however, the company's early promotional materials were high quality, which helped distinguish his business
- Quality control counts. Power believes soccer is best learned in a high-tempo, game-oriented environment. Everything from fitness to strategy is taught with a ball at the foot of each student. It requires creativity and skills on the part of the instructional staff, which is why Power has resisted offers to branch out: He wants to hold the instructional experience to his standard.
- Exploit competitive advantages. Finding quality field space is a challenge in an urban, northern climate centre like Toronto. The parent of one of Power's students had an in at Upper Canada College, a local private school, and helped Power get time on its new artificial turf field, which is domed in winter. Crescent School, which considers soccer to be a magnet sport for its international students, allows Power Soccer to use its turf field as a way to boost its footie cred.

Google Analytics is known as one of the best free solutions for analyzing nearly every website statistic possible. Today Google announced that they've launched their new version, and as always, it's being rolled out slowly over the next few weeks, so not everybody will have it right away.
I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in to find the new changes. In general, the overall look is a huge improvement, but there are other fine details that have been improved besides the look. Those who sign up for the service today will immediately have access to the new version.
Previously, it was a bit difficult to navigate because there was so much information available, but now it's more user-friendly.
New features include:
- e-mail reporting
- customizable dashboards
- improved map displays
- plain language descriptions
The customizable dashboard feature is really helpful because you can put all of the information that you view the most on it so that it's easy to access. The email reporting is also really helpful because you can send it immediately, or you can schedule when you want the report to be sent. For example, you can get a weekly report sent on each Monday, a monthly report, or a quarterly report.
For those of you who don't like the new version, they've given the option to go back to the old version. To do this, log-in and under "website profiles," click the link for "previous interface." To help people transition to the new look, they've got several great help resources. One of them is "report finder." When you click this option in the left sidebar, you'll use the old navigation to find the report that you want, and then it will tell you how to get that report in the new version.
Thus far, we haven't been able to find the option for viewing the hourly report graph that was always displayed on the dashboard. If anybody has come across this option, let us know. So far, it's the only thing I haven't liked about the new version because it's one of the graphs I use the most.
Below you'll find screenshots of the new look. Click on the thumbnails to view a larger image.
As I was taking the screenshots, I noticed that sometimes the statistics would show zero visitors for a day. Right now it seems like the service is going up and down, probably as they add more people. To see if you've gotten the new version, log into your account. You should either see a message welcoming you to the new version, or a messages saying that you should be getting it soon. At first I didn't think that we had been rolled over to the new version, but that's because my bookmark points directly to a report. After I went to the analytics homepage, I realized that we had been switched to the new version.
Overall it's a huge improvement because it looks better, and it's easier to navigate. For those just starting with Analytics, it'll be much easier to understand and make the most out of.

Sometimes Fate can be a bitch and take away everything you hold dear, but sometimes she finds it in her heart to give something back...
Ten years after Charlie's death, Ben still hasn't faced the fact his first love is gone. Unable to grieve, he's acted the office clown and made his life so busy he never has time to think. Upon a return to the home he once shared with Charlie, Ben finally admits that Charlie is gone. Then a black panther appears and chases him through the forest, changing his life forever.
That panther is Francois, a mesmerising man who breaks Ben's self-imposed celibacy and shows him it's time to move on. Ben visits Francois at his secluded cabin, and a fever overtakes him, compelling him to have sex with the alluring man. Ben finds he wants to live again, but although the sexual attraction between himself and Francois is strong, he knows Francois isn't the man for him. He's just a stepping stone on the path of grief, encouraging him to embrace a new life.
When Ben visits a gay club that caters to people who have fantasies he's never been able to act out, he meets Dave. There is no instant spark like there was with Francois, no immediate falling in lust or love, but an easy camaraderie and sense of wellbeing makes Ben realise you can love someone over time. Knowing something otherworldy has been involved in his transition, Ben is finally forced to think, to accept that everything happens for a reason. Now all he has left to do is say goodbye to Charlie, something he never thought he would do...

Things to Do in Galveston with Kids
Living in Houston, we are within driving distance of some great places to plan a family vacation. For us they are affordable staycations and great alternatives to bigger and more costly vacations! There are some wonderful things to do in Galveston with kids and the entire family!
Last month, @ChevyTexan sent our family on a Chevy Staycation to Galveston. So we got the opportunity to check out some of the great attractions available within driving distance away from our house! You can check out my review of the Chevy Tahoe to see how the entire family got to ride in comfort on our way to Galveston.
Galveston Beaches
There are a number of great beaches in Galveston. We visited last year and stayed at the San Luis Resort. When we stayed there, we were able to cross the street and walk right down onto the beach. This time we stayed at Springhill Suites which was great for our family. I've learned that suites are the way to go when traveling with children. However we were not right on the beach this trip.
While there are a number of family beaches where you can pay to park, rent an umbrella, and even purchase snacks. We opted for a more affordable plan of attack this time. As we drove down the seawall, we watched for an open parking space and a clean looking stretch of beach.
Galveston has been battling a seaweed problem this year but it only took a few minutes to find a good spot. Getting W into his life jacket was actually more challenging than parking and unloading! He is not a fan of it but once he saw the water he was willing to let me put it on. It's a good thing too because he headed straight for the water!
We only ended up spending about 20 minutes at the beach before W was worn out. He was ready for a nap which we all appreciated!
Moody Gardens
After enjoying the continental breakfast at Springhill Suites (another one of the things I look for in a hotel when traveling with kids) we headed out for a day at Moody Gardens. I had not been to Moody Gardens in around 14 years. So I was excited to check it out and see how much it had changed!
We started in the Aquarium Pyramid and W fell in love with so many of the animals. He is such a curious little boy so that made it a great experience for him. Moody Garden ticket prices may seem a little steep but the attraction offers so many different things to do! A family can really get their money's worth and play the whole day!
Mom Learns a Lesson in Galveston
I was never one of those people who said they wouldn't put their child in a harness. I actually didn't have very many feelings one way or the other. I just hadn't thought it would be something I would do. My son is so curious and always on the move. After an exhausting day at the San Antonio Zoo earlier this month, I was ready to try a harness.
It worked great for us! W loved having the freedom to walk around and I didn't have to worry about losing him in the crowd of people. Although this was an issue I had never judged, I know a lot of people do. I say to each their own. Do what works for you! W is much happier having more independence when we are out and about!
More Adventures at Moody Gardens
After the aquarium we headed over to the Rainforest Pyramid. I had never been to it and was excited! It was amazing to see the variety of wildlife from plants to animals. The entire family loved the butterfly area. It reminded me of my childhood and many trips to the local butterfly pavilion in Colorado.
J got a special visitor while we were there! Memories like these are what makes even the most local trip worth taking! We will forever remember our first family trip to Moody Gardens!
Relaxing at the End of the Day
After a long day out and about, it was great to come back to our room at Springhill Suites. It featured two double beds and a pullout sofa bed. Suite hotel rooms have become must-haves for us. They provide more room for W to play and be active. They also provide a mini fridge which is great for keeping milk and juice cold. Many also provide breakfast which saves families money when they are traveling! Meals can add up quickly!
One thing I've learned about traveling with the family is that you have to be prepared to expect the unexpected. J actually started feeling really sick the night before we were supposed to head home. So instead of staying overnight for a second night, we loaded up the Chevy Tahoe and headed back to Houston. At least I had a gorgeous ride to travel home in!
Affordable Family Vacation in Galveston
Galveston is a great place to visit if you're looking to put together an affordable family vacation. You can do the beach for little to no money. Moody Gardens is a great investment if you're looking to spend an entire day.
I am so glad I discovered local staycations as an affordable vacation option. It's helped my family creative some fabulous new memories without breaking the back!
How do you save money on summer vacations? Have you gone on a local staycation?

The aim of this unit is to critically appraise and apply, at an advanced level, the best evidence on systematic reviews. This unit extends beyond the 'Introduction to Systematic Reviews' unit by exploring in-depth important issues around systematic reviews. At the end of the unit, students should be able to understand the advantages of individual participant data meta-analyses; critically appraise a review of observational studies; understand differences in systematic review of observational studies compared with randomized trials; understand the potential pitfalls of meta-regression; perform and interpret a sub-group and meta-regression analysis; analyse continuous data and understand the methods by which missing data can be imputed; and understand the common problems in meta-analysis of continuous data. The seminar sessions are interactive and based on discussion of reading material. Two sessions are based in the computer lab.
