So I recently ordered a DVD off of ebay (House, season 1 and 2. I had a freaking brainfart, as I should have just added to to my netflix and now paid a damn penny. I was stupid and impatient) and decided to pay for it via paypal. Mind you I have had over 33 transactions with paypal and no problems.
*note* Twenty minutes after the auction was over ebay canceled the auction, but by this time I had already paid for it*
Well my item arrives the other day and it is the mother f'ing CHINESE VERSION OF "THE OFFICE"
I filed a complaint with paypal, but I made a error and instead of filing a "received a wrong item" complaint I filed a "did not receive"
So he provided proof he sent it, and paypal closed the claim.
I called customer support yesterday and spent 45 minutes on the phone before they told me to send a email to email@example.com
Well I accidently sent two emails to them (I have been out of it lately, just to much going on at the same time) and I got to responses today.
One said that I was basically screwed and since it is a manually filed complaint they cant do , but I should continue to talk to the seller (who has never responded to any of my emails).
Then the other response told me to call Paypal's customer support team, but gave me a different number then the one I called the first time.
I am just as mad at myself for being stupid as I am a paypal for sucking at life

Shaun is a winner
11:02am Friday 7th February 2014
11:02am Friday 7th February 2014
THE winter league and stableford competition played last Saturday was postponed because of the expected gale force winds and heavy rain which had been forecasted; round eight of the winter league will be now be played this Saturday, with the final round to be played the following day on Sunday 9; the matchplay knock out stages which will commence on Saturday 22.
The February monthly medal will be sponsored by Alex Youds and played on Saturday 15; this medal competition will be a qualifier for points for the Brian Bebb Shield.
DESPITE the inclement weather five brave ladies played in the stableford competition last Tuesday, playing the full 18 holes. The five endured the very heavy showers in the morning at the start of their rounds with some sunny spells; they reached the safety of the clubhouse before the heavy afternoon showers, the weather conditions certainly reflected on the scores returned.
1, Barbara Phillips 28 points
2, Margaret Hicks 27 points
There were no twos scored on the day which means a rollover for the twos kitty for next competition.
LAST Thursday the senior section played a stableford competition where 21 players took part; on a cold; dry day with the course showing some sign of drying up waiting for the next down pour; once again the greens were in excellent condition for the time of year.
The competition winner was Tony Davey 44 points; winning the competition by a clear six shots from Dick Wooding who is also showing good form at the start of the year. Tony will now be playing off a handicap of 18 having lost two clear shots with Dick down by one shot to 16.
Tony has been in fine form in January winning two competitions (both with 44 points) and a second place with 36 points.
1, Tony Davey 44 points
2, Dick Wooding (jnr) 38 points
3, Rolly Council 35 points
In the twos competition the kitty was shared by Mike Durward and new member David Barker.
The presentation was carried out by seniors' captain Martyn Price.
Next seniors' competition will be a stableford and will be played on today (Thursday) with the first draw at 10.30am; with further competitions on Thursday 13; 20 and Friday 28.

Helium Balloon in CarScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
A helium-filled balloon is tied to the floor of a car that makes a sharp right turn. Does the balloon tilt while the turn is made? If so, which way? The windows are closed so there is no connection with the outside air.
AnswerBecause of buoyancy, the helium balloon on the string will want to move in the direction opposite the effective gravitational field existing in the car. Thus, when the car turns the corner, the balloon will deflect towards the inside of the turn.

WESTWOOD News start 2013 with a healthy lead of nine points over the chasing pack at the top of Division Three and Mark Hurkett's men will only have themselves to blame should they go on to blow their massive lead.
Westwood visit Trowbridge Rangers for their opening game of the New Year and it would be a huge shock if they didn't add another three points to the 27 they already have.
Second-placed Fleece FC play hosts to Bratton Reserves, who currently find themselves in the bottom two, and with Dave Griffin now in charge the villagers will be hoping for a better showing in the second half of the campaign.
The form book suggests a win for the Fleece but after finishing 2012 with a point against Bradford Reserves, Griffin's men may just cause an upset in his second game in charge.
Last term's whipping boys Polenez Westbury have already bettered their points tally from last season, but they are unlikely to get anything from their trip to Stanley Park where Joe Martin's Lacock side should collect maximum points as they look to reignite a promotion challenge that diminished in the build up to Christmas.
Levi's FC will entertain bottom of the table The Stiffs, who went so close to winning their final two games of 2012 but like so many before came up just short leaving Ade Giles side to wonder what they need to do to register their first win of the season.
Levi's may not have played for a month but with just one defeat in their last seven they ought to claim the spoils that will keep the Stiffs waiting for that all-elusive win.
It's third verses fourth at Woodmarsh where Trowbridge Town Reserves welcome Bradford United Reserves.
When the teams met in November it was the Bees who strolled to a 7-2 win, however with Bradford coming into some good form prior to the Christmas break, the result ought to be a lot closer and Bradford have an outside chance of claiming a win that would see the two teams reverse positions.

And the Shock promptly lost to a subpar team after the announcement.
It's sort of weird - it sounds like they have no idea how long it the injury will take to heal. Are the Pacers and Fever using the same trainers?
Also interesting that she aggravated the injury at Conseco. Indy0731 is convinced Conseco is cursed. Here's more proof!
While I don't wish injuries on anyone, I must confess that my heart leapt a tiny little bit at the idea that we might have a chance against Detroit in the playoffs if Tamika isn't back (or up to 80%) yet.

Speeches schmeeches. The political light at the end of the tunnel is a coal miner's lamp.
I like Juan Cole and rely on his Informed Comment. He's pretty on the ball. But I was a little disappointed to see him describe Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer's recent speech at the Democratic convention as possibly "the most important address on energy given so far by an American politician." (He includes video of the speech. To make it even easier on you, I'll do it too.)
(And here's the text of the speech.)
To Cole's credit, he does also say, "Now if only someone could get him off this liquefied coal kick." That's rather something of an understatement.
Maybe Cole thinks so highly of Schweitzer because he takes his cue from Daily Kos—a hotbed of Schweitzer support. And hey, I think it's pretty danged cool that Montana's got a proud Democrat as governor and I think there's plenty about Schweitzer to support. Maybe it helps that Cole was following the Sierra Club's lead in praising Schweitzer's speech. Even still, if Schweitzer's speech is the top of the game for U.S. politicians to date, we are so far from where we need to be it's a little scary, and I'm a little baffled that Cole and the Sierra Club would give the speech such strong kudos.
I commented on Cole's blog in reaction to this, but wanted to say it more clearly and out in the open. Here's my comment:
It's not just that he's such a promoter of liquified coal—which would undermine any and all progress we made by avoiding use of that barrel of oil. It's his philosophical starting point. "We face a great new challenge…a world energy crisis that threatens…our very way of life." Where have I heard that before? Oh, right, from Dick "not negotiable" Cheney. That's is precisely why Schweitzer promotes liquified coal.*
"Our" way of life is the problem. "Our" way of life requires more energy than it is possible to provide in a responsible, secure, clean, or economical way. Not every aspect of "our" way of life, of course. But too many aspects are built upon a blind assumption that we will always have seemingly unlimited cheap energy available. Just like the rich kid who never had to really work to achieve financial success, "our" way of life is a spoiled way of life, when it comes to energy. When there's not enough energy to keep us happy, we just complain to Mommy and Daddy government, and they go give out corporate subsidies to encourage more extraction of fossil fuels, they go shove nerdy gadfly climate scientists into the corner, telling them "I don't have time for your mumbo jumbo—my kid needs a 48 inch plasma screen TV and by God, he's gonna get it!"
When a prominent politician is wise enough and brave enough to speak that truth to the American people on national TV, then maybe I'll be willing to think of it as "an important address." (I don't require that the politician be obnoxious in their rhetoric, the way, I admit, I have a little bit been.)
*Okay, the other reason is that he's Montana's governor, and it's his job to promote anything that will help create new jobs and bring more money into the state. At least, that's the way governorships are designed these days. Consequences be damned, and all.
Now there was a truly useful statement made at the DNC on this topic. (Maybe more than one, but I only saw a smattering of the speeches.) Al Gore was the only one I saw who didn't target the boogie man of "foreign oil," but the power behind the throne, our dependency "on dirty and dangerous fossil fuels." (Emphasis added.) Here's his speech.
(Here's the text of the speech.)
I don't nominate Gore's speech to fill the shoes that Cole described, "the most important address on energy given so far by an American politician." Gore isn't a politician any more, so he doesn't have the same pressure on him—the way Schweitzer definitely does from his own in-state coal lobby.
But just as Robert Kuttner argues in Obama's Challenge on economic issues, that a "transformative president" is one who can be "teacher-in-chief," telling the American people hard truths and explaining to us the realities we must face and embark upon to deal with those truths, we need politicians who can be transformative leaders on the energy-and-climate issue. We need them to be leaders while they are in office, not only after they retire from elective politics.
The speech that makes a difference? We're still waiting.

Haren happy to get work in vs. big leaguers
PHOENIX -- Dan Haren was thankful the skies cleared after a rainy morning, so he could make his Dodgers exhibition debut Saturday against the Brewers instead of Minor Leaguers in a camp game.
Zack Greinke's calf injury increases the chances that fourth starter Haren will be needed in Australia, something for which he has prepared since December, and he didn't want the weather to slow him down.
"I asked [pitching coach] Rick Honeycutt in December, and he told me to be prepared, because you never know what's going to happen," said Haren, who allowed Milwaukee one run in two innings. "I started preparing earlier than usual. I made 35 pitches today, with 15 more in the bullpen afterward. Getting 50 around March 1 is a little ahead of usual."
With Greinke doubtful to make the trip, the Dodgers will be choosing from Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Haren, although all three figure to be in Australia just in case.
"If I had to pitch in Australia for some reason, this allowed me to stay on track," Haren said. "With only three weeks, one day means a lot."
Haren said his first inning was "pretty bad," but the second was "much better. I bet you the next start will be more crisp."
On playing in Australia, Haren had the script down: "It would be the chance of a lifetime. Why don't you guys all tweet that?"

Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
Sources say Brian Shaw interviewed for Blazers opening today in Las Vegas
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw will interview with #Blazers GM Neil Olshey tonight for their vacant head coach position.
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Just FYI: Houston Rockets assistant Kelvin Sampson says #Blazers inquired about him in regards to HC gig but hasn't been asked to interview.
I said a few days ago this would be the perfect fit for Shaw hope he gets the job. Olshey said he wants a guy who relates well to players and a teacher Shaw is both. He has mentored Damian Lillard also and both went to the same HS so that connection could be a reason he wanted to coach the Blazer over Orlando.
Also being reported that Phil Jackson wants to go to the Blazers as what he called in his interview on Brian Gamble "a coach of the coaching staff"
so that connection is there also.

North Deer Island Partners Honored By Presidential Award
Team Recognized For Protecting Critical Bird Habitat
HOUSTON — On Dec. 2 the North Deer Island Protection Team received the Coastal America Partnership Award-the only environmental award of its kind given by the President of the United States-for their efforts to protect the most important colonial water bird rookery on the upper Texas coast: North Deer Island.
"North Deer Island is emblematic of natural habitats that are not only critical for fish and wildlife, but ultimately benefit the many people who live on and visit the Texas coast," said Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director. "This is only one of two natural islands left in West Galveston Bay. Without help, projections showed one third of it would have eroded away in 30 years."
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department accepted the award on behalf of a large coalition of diverse partners, including Audubon Texas, NRG Energy, EPA Gulf of Mexico Program, EPA Region-6, Houston Audubon Society, Texas Commission of Environmental Quality — Galveston Bay Estuary Program, Texas General Land Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Galveston Bay Foundation.
"Fish and wildlife resources in Texas contribute more than $8 billion to the state's economy every year," said Bryan W. Shaw, Ph.D., chairman of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. "This award recognizes the efforts of the many agencies, stakeholders and individuals in the on-going efforts to restore and protect our nation's sensitive coastal environment. The TCEQ, through the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, is proud to be a part of this important work."
The partners worked for nine years to armor approximately 1.7 miles of North Deer Island's rapidly eroding shoreline. Erosion was destroying highly-productive habitat for up to 30,000 nesting pairs of birds using this island, including the brown pelican, and two priority-bird species-the threatened reddish egret and white-faced ibis- plus 16 other bird species on the Audubon Society's bird island sanctuary. The island's wetland marshes provide valuable nursery habitat for shrimp, redfish and other important fish species.
"This island has been extremely important to the recovery of the brown pelican in Galveston Bay," said Benjamin Tuggle, Ph.D., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southwest Regional Director. "Based on a strong and healthy population, our agency has removed the brown pelican from the endangered species list. The North Deer Island Protection Team played an important role in our efforts to bring the brown pelican back from the brink."
The project, led by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, helps implement regional habitat conservation goals established by the Galveston Bay Estuary Program partnership, whose mission is to preserve the bay's economic and ecologic health. Partners barged in 24,100 tons from a rock quarry in Missouri-using the Mississippi River and the Intracoastal Waterway as a route-to create 7,100 feet of stone breakwater and armored shoreline. The planning, engineering, and construction costs for the nine-year endeavor were over $3.2 million.
The Coastal America Awards Program recognizes outstanding efforts and excellence in leadership for protecting, preserving and restoring the nation's coastal resources and ecosystems. Coastal America Awards have been presented annually since 1997.

Icona Pop 'Love It' at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards [Video]
Swedish duo Icona Pop stormed the stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards tonight (May 19), performing their smash hit 'I Love It (I Don't Care).'
The twosome were introduced by Carly Rae Jepsen, who gushed about her love for them. The Canadian songstress isn't the only one who loves the pair, as their song is currently parked in the No. 3 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Not bad, not bad at all.
Dressed in leather outfits and dancing like no one was watching, Icona Pop were jumping up and down and engaging the crowd. It was a full-service performance that transformed a music industry awards show into a club rave for a handful of minutes. Normally, dance music doesn't always translate when performed live, but Icona Pop had no such problems getting the message across. We felt every note of their super fun perf.
It was cute how you could hear their accents while they sang in the live environment. Overall, though, 'I Love It (I Don't Care)' is one of those songs that just takes off and has a life of its own.
Icona Pop proved why they have what it takes to make a huge splash in America.

Three-time Winter Olympian Chemmy Alcott has been selected to represent Team GB at the Sochi Games despite being unable to prove her fitness.
The 31-year-old broke her leg for a third time in August, but makes the squad of 56 athletes, Britain's biggest since the 1988 Games in Calgary.
Alcott's hopes of proving her fitness at the Cortina World Cup meeting in Italy at the weekend were dashed as heavy snowfall saw the race cancelled.
But the former Surbiton High School student made the cut based on two top-32 finishes during an injury plagued qualification period.
"I am so excited and thankful to have been named in todays fantastically strong and competitive Team GB for next month's Sochi Games," she said.
"Being able to compete in my fourth Olympic Games is no less meaningful for me than competing in my first in Salt Lake city in 2002.
"Since Vancouver I have done everything I could have done to be in Russia.
"Preparations were far from ideal, but with self belief and confidence and the support I have from everyone I can't wait to get into that Olympic start gate and push myself to my very best."
Alcott made her Olympic debut in Salt Lake City in 2002, coming 14th in the super-combined, before best-placed finishes of 11th at both the 2006 Turin and 2010 Vancouver Games.
Since then she has broken her leg three times - starting with a serious compound fracture at Lake Louise in 2010 that left her with bone piercing her flesh - and seen her UK Sport funding axed.
Alcott resorted to extreme fund-raising efforts in a bid to keep her dream - which came to fruition this week - alive.
Her selection alongside slalom skier Dave Ryding means there is no place for British downhill number one Dougie Crawford, Alcott's fiancé.

Not sure exactly why now, but BYU basketball coach Dave Rose said it was OK for reporters to talk to Bronson Kaufusi after practice Thursday night at the Marriott Center as the Cougars continued preparations to play host to Portland on Saturday (7 p.m., BYUtv). Before now, BK has been off-limits. Maybe because it was Valentine's Day and Rose wanted to pass along a little love to the media. He did pass along some heart-shaped sugar cookies with beautiful pink frosting. Seriously. Rose's wife, Cheryl , brought homemade cookies for the players after practice, and a dozen or so were left over. Before he started his interview, Rose joked with reporters that the ones who asked him only one question would get a cookie. When the interview was over, Rose said it was OK for everyone to take a cookie, even if a few of us broke the one-question rule. Mine was really, really good.
Apparently, the color red is banned on campus, even on Vallentine's Day. Even the balloons tied to the railings before the BYU women's game against Santa Clara on Thursday night were pink.
Anyway, back to Kaufusi. I asked him if he was as excited to talk to us and we were to talk to him. "Oh, of course, of course," he said. The 6-foot-7, 260-pounder (he looks a bit heavier than that) said in the back of his mind he has wanted to play both sports in college since his days at Timpview High doing both and excelling at both. "But I never thought it would happen, and then when I found out sometime during the football season that there might be an opportunity, I was a little excited," he said. Rose said that Kaufusi first approached Provo High product Brandon Davies, his good friend, and asked Davies to see if Rose might be interested. "Well, I was surprised, because he had such a good freshman season as a football player," Rose said. "I talked to him a lot earlier, during the recruiting process, about what he really wanted to do, whether he wanted to play collegiate football or play collegiate basketball, and he made his decision....And so Brandon says [last fall], 'coach, Bronson wants to talk to you, he's thinking about playing. I am thinking most of that came right about the timeframe that the news about Stephen Rogers [injury] came about." Oddly, Kaufusi doesn't know whether football coach Bronco Mendenhall will allow him to play basketball next season, let alone keep playing when spring drills begin on March 4. That's the Monday before the WCC tournament begins in Las Vegas. "I am not exactly sure [what the deadline is to get back to practicing with the football team]," Kaufusi said. "I haven't talked to [Mendenhall], but I am part of the [basketball] team. I am here to help them, as far as they want me to." As previously reported, Mendenhall said at his signing day press conference last week that he doesn't believe Kaufusi playing basketball is a "longterm" situation, and that he doesn't want it to start a precedent. "Well, I think it will be a good thing to go over with the coaches, and see what they think is best," Kaufusi said when told he might have a decision to make on March 4. "But I am here to help the team."A few more comments from Kaufusi: On what has surprised him about Division I basketball:"I think it would be the speed of the game. It is different. But for me, it is that and also understanding the game even at a higher level." On how he believes he's done: "I just seek to improve everyday. As long as I am improving and finding ways to help our team, I feel like I am contributing."On how much football mentality he brings to the basketball floor:"Well, I don't have a helmet on, so I can't do that. I think just knowing I can be physical and knowing I can use the physicality on the basketball court. I think that really helps out underneath."On not going easy on the guys in practice: "No, they don't like it when I go easy, because they know how physical I can be, and they know how I do that, because they've seen me in games."On whether any other guys could play football:"It would be pretty fun to see Brandon [Davies] in some football pads, but who knows?" On which sport he loves more: "I love them both. There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from both of them. They both complement each other, and that's why I love both of them. I just feel lucky to be able to play them both at this level."On whether he realize how special he is playing both at D-I level:"I just love the game, so that's how I see it. I just go out and play and do my best, and try to help out the team. So that's what I try to do."On whether he sees himself as the enforcer: "I think there are opportunities to be physical. I think with me, and the way that we play, there are opportunities to help a lot. So if I am asked to set a screen, I am going to set a hard screen. With everythign I do, I try to do it hard, to help us out." On not doing a sack dance when he got the three-point play vs. USF:"Brandon would have made fun of me, so, no."On his conversations with Bronco: "I just went in there and got his thoughts. ... He was very supportive of me, and gave me the choice, which was good."

1990 Toyota Corolla Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1990 Toyota Corolla based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
If the vehicle develops an annoying, clunking sound when driving over bumps it is usually the struts and strut bearing plates. These may need replacing at 100,000-125,000 miles or sooner. If the noise is a more of a squeak or groan, it can be usually be eliminated by spraying a light lubricant on the suspension bushings 1-2 times per year.
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
The ignition coil inside the distributor may fail. Our technicians tell us this may result in a hesitation on acceleration, especially when the vehicle is warming up on cold, rainy days. The pickup coils inside the distributor can also fail and cause a no-start condition. There have also been some failures of the radio noise suppressors inside the distributors, which can short out. Our technicians recommend replacing the whole distributor with a complete, genuine Toyota distributor if any of its components fail.
If the engine will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter. These will tend to go out at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
Usually by 150,000 miles the AC system will need some attention, especially in climates where it is used often. Our technicians tell us that it is best to service the AC system every 2-3 years. This keeps the moisture in the system at a minimum which extends the life of the components.
Over the time the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system may become plugged with debris, the oxygen sensor may also be getting slow or 'lazy' around this time. When servicing or cleaning the EGR system, it is a good idea to replace the oxygen sensor because it works in tandem with the EGR system.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
You may be able to prevent automatic transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned, the transmission system should be completely flushed.
The engine mount on the passenger side of the car can wear out on cars with high mileage. This will put extra stress on the other mounts and the faulty mount will need to be replaced.
A squeak or groan noise may be noted from the front or rear suspension. Spraying a light lubricant on the suspension bushings 1-2 times per year may help eliminate the problem.
The power steering pump and power steering hoses tend to develop leaks and require replacement.

The xbmc-diskless-server package installs the server software that is needed to let any PC boot from the network and start XBMC on that PC, the same as XBMC live.
It works by creating an image of an Ubuntu installation with XBMC on a server and having your clients boot that (read only) image. The client's configuration and media databases are stored via NFS, so they won't be lost when you reboot your client.
This brings us some nice advantages:
- no noisy harddisks in your media player is needed
- if you want to upgrade XBMC on multiple clients, you will only have to install it once to upgrade them all
- centralised configuration of all media players (think about things like having the same video database on all media players)
- any normal work pc can be turned into a media center within seconds. Just reboot it and choose "boot from network" and it's done. Nothing is changed on your harddisk.
- Installation
If you want a diskless XBMC installation, you'll need a server to host it's files. On that server, you'll install the 'xbmc-diskless-server' package. It contains some scripts to create a disk image for your clients and it makes sure the required server components get installed and update the configuration.
Follow these steps to install the server software.
- open a terminal window on your server or log in via ssh
- install the server software Code:
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:lars-opdenkamp/xbmc-diskless
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y xbmc-diskless-server
- start the gui by typing Code:
sudo xbmc-diskless.sh
- to create or update a client's installation, choose "create" first
- Create an image
- the first step shows you some general information about the process:
- press ok and you'll be asked for a distribution to use for your clients. I only tested lucid myself:
- next you can enter a PPA to use for the installation. choose 'none' if you don't want to use any PPA and 'custom' to enter your own choice:
- this script only installs the minimal Ubuntu installation and XBMC with all it's dependencies. if you want to install some extra packages, enter them in the following screen, delimited by spaces:
- enter some password for the 'xbmc' user so you can log in on the console or log in via ssh. the minimal password length is 3 characters:

Reviews forSugar Cookies with Sour Cream
My Review
Average Rating
"expected to have problems rolling out after reading last review:my 1st time doing rollouts and they were easy to mix up and roll out: added vanilla to coookie dough: other than that did just as recipe says....did use pastry sheet to roll on..good cookies"
"The picture of these cookies looked so yummy! However, after mixing all of the ingredients and then letting the dough refrigerate overnight, it was impossible to roll out the dough even after using a floured surface. The dough stuck to the floured wax paper, the rolling pin, and the cookie cut-out. I ended up throwing out all of the dough and going back to my old trusted sugar cookie cut out recipe from taste of home that I have been making for the past ten years."

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- One of the five buildings that make up Dayton's historic downtown arcade is crumbling so badly that the sidewalk in front has been closed off so no one gets hurt from falling glass.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/10qD5x3 ) reports that the 1908-era Commercial Building has been declared a public nuisance. The sidewalk was closed because glazing that holds windows in place in the 10-story tower continues to fail, causing quarter-inch thick shards of glass to fall.
The city of Dayton estimates it will cost $120,000 to secure the windows. The city plans to hire a contractor to do the work, but not until the temperature is consistently above 40 degrees.
The owner says the future of the complex is in doubt because of lack of tenants.

Seahawks' Hill, Giacomini listed as questionable
By Bill Swartz
Mother nature allowed the Seahawks to get outside for their Friday afternoon practice.
Cornerback Walter Thurmond is the only player ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams at CenturyLink Field. Coach Pete Carroll said Thurmond is still not able to completely push off because of his lingering hamstring injury.
Linebacker Leroy Hill has also been bothered by a hamstring injury and is on the questionable list. Carroll said they will test Hill out again on Saturday. Right tackle Breno Giacomini is also listed as questionable with an elbow injury.
Veteran cornerback Marcus Trufant had a good week of practice as he battles back from a lingering hamstring issue. Carroll won't hesitate to use youngsters Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell in nickel coverages.
Carroll said his team is fortunate to have a meaningful game this weekend. A Seattle victory over St. Louis coupled with a San Francisco loss to Arizona would give the Seahawks the division title. Carroll said it's also a big deal to go undefeated at home this season. The Seahawks are 7-0 at CenturyLink Field.
"Heck yeah it is," Carroll said after practice. "If you want to be a championship team you have to dominate at home. There is no other way to get it done. We have a wonderful factor here with Seahawks, we really do."
Carroll expects Seattle's offensive line to face extreme pressure from a Rams defense which has piled up 46 sacks so far this season. Carroll expects rookie guard J.R. Sweezy to be much better prepared for that pressure than earlier this season when he struggled.
The club made another roster move, releasing cornerback Ron Parker and signing receiver Deon Butler again. Seattle had released Butler on Dec. 24 after he played in just one game.

Commercial and nonprofit property owners around the Fair Grounds Race Course who charge for parking for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival sponsored by Shell must have a permit issued by City Hall or face being shut down, Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration announced this week. Permits can be obtained at the Department of Revenue on the 1st floor, room 1W15, of City Hall, 1300 Perdido St.
The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A permit for a commercial business to operate a parking lot costs $265.25, while organizations that can document their nonprofit status pay $30.
Though paid parking is not allowed on residential property, "our primary goal is (enforcement related to) the commercially zoned properties," mayoral spokesman Ryan Berni said.
Anyone operating a parking lot without a permit will be subject to being shut down and likely issued an administrative subpoena, he said.
During Jazz Fest, parking laws also will be strictly enforced. Tickets will be issued to vehicles that block hydrants, driveways and sidewalks, or that park within 20 feet of a crosswalk, intersection or a stop sign.
Drivers are reminded to park in the direction of travel on one-way streets, and with the right wheels to the curb on two-way streets.
City officials also plan to strictly enforce laws that bar transient vendors from operating during the festival dates -- Friday through Sunday, and May 3 through 6 -- inside the so-called "clean zone" around the Fair Grounds. The area is bounded by Florida Avenue, North Broad and Esplanade avenues and Bayou St. John.
Businesses within the zone can sell products at their locations as long as they don't block the sidewalk or street.
"Our goal is make commercial business owners and non-profit managers aware of the rules and regulations, and to eliminate confusion in advance," Deputy Mayor Andy Kopplin said in a prepared statement. "City enforcement officials will be on site to ensure that local businesses are in compliance with city ordinances."
Festival-goers are encouraged to park in downtown long-term lots and to use public transit or Gray Line Tours' shuttle service to get to the Fair Grounds. The tour-bus operator will operate continuous round-trip rides from the Sheraton Hotel at 500 Canal St., the Steamboat Natchez Dock at Toulouse Street and the Mississippi River, and Marconi Meadow at City Park daily starting at 10:30 a.m.
Round-trip shuttle tickets from the downtown locations cost $18. Round-trip tickets from City Park cost $14. One-way tickets to leave the Fair Grounds cost $10. One-way tickets to the festival site are not available.

A family and community are left mourning after a five-year-old girl was killed on Wednesday in a tragic accident on a Dickinson County, Kan., farm.
KSAL News reports that the girl was riding in the cab of a combine with her father while harvesting soybeans. The combine hit a bump, causing the windshield to shatter and the child to fall out.
No one else was injured in the incident. Read more here.
Many universities, experts and groups have a plethora of advice to stay safe using agriculture machinery, especially during harvest. Farm machinery causes 85 percent of all machinery-related deaths to children, making the need to balance experience with safety is essential.
One of the basic safety measures recommended when operating farm equipment – follow the "one seat, one rider" rule.
Here are just some of the many resources available:
- Farm safety tips from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture
- Helpful harvest reminders on farm safety from the Coshocton (Ohio) Tribune
- How to make farm safety a valued family tradition from Mississippi State University

Corona Centennial four-star offensive guard Viane Talamaivao officially visited Alabama a week ago, but that trip brought with it a good dose of reality.
Visiting Tuscaloosa with his father, Talamaivao insisted that the distance factor would not be an issue for him, but noted his family wanted him to go to college closer to home.
Monday night, his high school teammate, Tre Watson, accidentally let the cat out of the bag by Instragramming a photo of Talamaivao giving a Fight On sign. A few hours later, Centennial head coach Matt Logan issued this statement.
"I have been told that Viane has de-committed from Alabama and has committed to USC. It had to do with him staying closer to family."
In an interview with USCFootball.com Sunday, Talamaivao discussed his recent unofficial visit to USC.
"I'm looking forward to it," said Talamaivao. "It will be a cool experience for my parents. All this stuff with SC, my family is still really kind of strong with me staying home."
And thus, a chink in his commitment to Alabama was revealed. Since Ed Orgeron was named interim head coach at USC, the Trojans have made a much stronger push for Talamaivao.
"They talk about me playing close to home and stuff like that," said Talamaivao. "They talk about the great tradition USC has and about really trying to build something new with this class."
"They want me to stay home and play for them. They want to return USC to what fans are use to. Back to where Pete Carroll had USC at. Winning championships and winning big games."
Now, whether this commitment is solid remains to be seen. While USC will be his last official visit of the year, Talamaivao did not say it would be his only official visit. Washington has also been a school of interest for Talamaivao in recent months.
This is USC's fourth offensive line commitment, and the Trojans No. 10 pledge in the 2014 class. What may help solidify Talamaivoa's place with USC are his cousin Austin Maloata and his friend Toa Lobendahn.
Like Talamaivao, both are long time Trojan fans and very close with each other.
USCFootball.com will have more on this breaking commitment when news becomes available.

Topic: The doctor has pulled the plug
We just got home from the doctors office. It was not a good visit. He told John that he can not continue with any treatment at this point it will do more harm than good. He has strongly suggested hospice. John is having trouble getting around the idea that this is almost the end of the road. I think at this point hospice couldn't hurt. I feel like I'm on a trapise wire without a life net under me. John is on medicaid spend down and he's afraid hospice will take all of his disability check. At this point to me it doesn't matter but it concerns him. I know all states are different, but does anyone know how hospice gets paid? He hasn't worked in two years so his health insurance is long gone and with the exception of a monthly disability check he has no other income or assets. I have a call into his medicaid case worker but who knows when I'll get a call back. Any advice or shared experiences would help me help him decide the best corse of action.
Thanks to all,

Can one do this:
$query_chk_word = mysql_query($sql_chk_word) or die(mysql_error());$SESSION['listfound'] = $query_chk_word;
That is can a MySQK result array be assigned to a Php SESSION?
If not via above method, how can the results of a mysql_query be saved so that we do not have to again and againgenerate the same?
Thank you.
WorldNews, you can push the result into an array then serialize and store the array in a session. For example:
$SESSION['listfound'] = serialize($arr);
To access the array again you will need to unserialize the content. For example:
$arr = unserialize($SESSION['listfound']);
True, you can do that OR if you like to do the same with less code you can do this:
$_SESSION['list_found'] = $arr;
$arrFromSession = $_SESSION['list_found'];
You don't need to call serialize() to put array into session and unserialize when you get it from - php will do it automatically for you.All you do is assign array to some session key and then you can get your array back by using that session key.
I tried that. But it is not working. To be exact I have (in summary of course):
$query_chk_word = mysql_query($sql_chk_word) or die(mysql_error());$SESSION['listfound'] = serialize($query_chk_word);
And upon POST of the page then:
$query_chk_word = unserialize($SESSION['listfound']);mysql_data_seek($query_chk_word, $start);
But I get Error message:
Warning: mysql_data_seek(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL
which of course means that $query_chk_word is not being delivered OK!
So what should I do to correct this?
Just wondering do you guys have any answer to this problem/question of mine?
Thanks before hand.
Dont store the result object. Store the results from that object.
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result) { $arr[] = $row;}$_SESSION['result'] = $arr;
PS: Look at updating to PDO (or mysqli), as mysql library is being phased out.
Not sure what you mean!To be exact we have a MySQL Query that returns a list of say 1000 rows, with each row having like 10 items.
What we need to do is to display like 10 items per page and if client clicks on NEXT or BACK then display10 more from this list. What we want is not to regenerate this MySQL query, for obvious reasons of notputting MORE load on the MySQL server and instead save this MySQL result list in a SESSION or in an Array.
How can this be done?Again there are multiple items per row so a simple Array will not do.
So I prefer we stick with SESSIONS, but if that is not possible then we would need anarray like: title[1], body[1], url[1]................. title[1], body[1], url[1]
You cannot store resources in sessions that's why your code doesn't work. mysql_query() returns a resource - a pointer to a result set that is available at the current MySQL session (connection). Because on each page request you have to connect to the db again you cannot use the pointer to the old session, which has been already destroyed. What you want to accomplish is not possible.
You have to fetch all the data into arrays (or objects) and then store those arrays in the session. However, if you are going to store a lot of data in the session then it might be more reasonable to query the database - and use some caching if necessary.
And here's where I stick my foot in my mouth with r937 and the guys over in the database forums when I say: It's better to do several small queries for the data you -need- as opposed to a massive query for data you may or may not need.IE: If you only display 10 rows, and the user never clicks on the other pages, you've pushed 990 rows of data for no reason.
Sure it will.$_SESSION['result'][0] would hold an array, which has items ['title'],['body'], etc. It's a simple two-dimensional array (which... is in another array, so technically it's 3 dimensional).
So I prefer we stick with SESSIONS, but if that is not possible then we would need an
The above code uses sessions.
Yes, that is what I was afraid off that it cannot be done
Yes, I think we will try putting them in an array().
NOTE: I think there is an Error in MySQL or shortcoming at least.That is in case of SELECT like:
SELECT id, ix_id, title, descpt, category FROM user_data WHERE MATCH (title, descpt) AGAINST('$find') LIMIT 90, 100
does not work. That is LIMIT 90, 100 does not work, as it returns 100 results rather than LIMIT 90, 100!
I wonder what MySQL community thinks of this!
This is not an error, this is intended behavior.
The syntax is LIMIT <start>, <number of results>.
So 90, 100 gives you 100 rows starting at row 89 (it's 0-based). If you want rows 90-100 you should use LIMIT 89,10.
fix-ed it
Right, my bad
So this is going to take us back to then issuing 2 SELECTs.1st SELECT to tell us, so we can tell users, how many total results are so that we can say for example page 1 of 35, etc.And then the 2nd SELECT will actually step 10 rows per page.
FYI, I was hoping to limit the SELECT once per query since these queries can be very (mysql) server load intensive.But that does not seem to be possible.
I did what you suggested.But for some reason that is too hard to explain, I need to check a certain value of the 1st row of each result set.And as we know as one does this MySQL index array moves up by 1.So I need to bring this pointed back to where it was, which I am doing with:
mysql_data_seek($query_chk_word, $start);
this works fine in case of LIMIT 0, 15
but fails with this error message in subsequent pages, such as:
this works fine in case of LIMIT 15, 15
Warning: mysql_data_seek() [function.mysql-data-seek]: Offset 15 is invalid for MySQL result index 8 (or the query data is unbuffered) in /var/www/html/anoox.com/find_new.php on line 293
and I see that then the results are displayed starting from row 18!
You know what the hek is going on?
What value did you pass to mysql_data_seek()? You need to remember that for mysql_data_seek() rows always start at 0 no matter what values you put in LIMIT because it does not understand LIMIT or any SQL at all. So even when you use LIMIT 15, 15 the valid values for mysql_data_seek() are 0 to 14 - or even less than 14 if the query returned fewer rows than 15.
Ah So,Das macht sehr gut sinn!
In English: that makes good sense
Ich wünsche Ihnen einen guten Tag.Have a very good day

WHITMORE LAKE, Mich. - The 6th annual Michigan Pond Hockey Classic officially kicked on Friday and will feature a weekend of nonstop 4-on-4 hockey action.
Taking place in Whitmore Lake at Mac's Marina, the games, taking place on manicured 75' by 150' rinks, will be 30 minutes long, with no off-sides, no icing calls and no goalies. The tournament consists of six divisions for all skill levels.
According to event coordinators, this tournament is the largest 4-on-4 pond hockey tournament in Lower Michigan and continues to grow.
Thousands of players and spectators are expected to attend the games and the festival-like atmosphere. The competition began Friday night with the semi-finals and finals Sunday afternoon.
The weekend will feature fireworks, heated entertainment tents, a live band, concessions, raffles, family activities and a skills competition on Saturday.
New to the tournament this year, the MPHC said it has forged a partnership with Red Bull to host the only U.S. qualifier for the Red Bull Open Ice International World Pond Hockey tournament.
MPHC says the winner of the Red Bull division will receive a trip to Helsinki, Finland, courtesy of Red Bull, to compete against the European champion for the title.
Additionally, MPHC is the primary fundraising event for the Michigan Pond Hockey Sports Charities, a non-profit organization that supports families in need of financial assistance for their children to participate in youth athletic programs.

Mortgage Rates Fall, 30-Yr Yield At 4.22%
In what's likely to be a temporary reprieve, mortgage rates fell last week, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate weighing in at 4.22%, down from 4.35% a week earlier, according to Freddie Mac's (FMCC) latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey. It was exactly a year ago when that rate hit an all-time low 3.31%.
The average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate also fell to 3.27% from 3.35%, up from 2.63% a year ago.
The latest rate drop is likely to be a short-lived move because Treasury rates have surged again in the past couple of days, with the yield curve steepening and 30-year bonds getting the worst of it.
A similar 30-year mortgage rate measured by the Mortgage Bankers Association's latest weekly survey rose to 4.46% from 4.44% a week earlier, and has been stuck in a narrow band for several weeks now. That survey also showed mortgage applications fell by 2.3% last week.

We all love horsepower, but having a lot of it isn't going to be much good if you can't get it to the ground. Common sense tells us that the best way to do this is to get as much power transferred through the tires to the ground as possible, and to do this both tires need to be utilized. Once both tires are spinning, then we can play with bigger and stickier tires and other suspension mods to help plant them better. Another situation where having reliable power transfer is important-that those of us in the fair-weather states forget about-is in adverse weather conditions when one tire might be affected by snow or ice. Horsepower and torque are not big factors here.
A large percentage of cars are running around with an open differential that provides engine power to the wheel with the least amount of resistance or traction. This means that the wheel that's spinning gets the power-we'll demonstrate this later. The cure for this is usually to install some kind of posi or limited-slip unit, but in most cases this requires special tools and knowledge that most of us don't have to set the rearend up properly. A few years ago Powertrax developed a traction solution called the Lock-Right Locker which can be easily installed in less than a couple of hours with no special tools.
The Lock-Right worked on the street but had been developed with off-road as the primary use. As a result it had a light clicking noise that could be heard when turning during normal cruising which many people didn't want for their street cars. To solve this and to take care of the street guys Powertrax recently introduced a new unit called the No-Slip Traction System which provides the maximum traction of a locking differential combined with the smooth and quiet operation of a limited-slip device. A precise synchronization mechanism eliminates the ratcheting sounds typical of other locking differentials, and a special gear-and-spring design reduces the backlash. Units are available for just about any mainstream vehicle and cost around $400.
Continuing on our foundation building for our '70 Monte Carlo, we contacted the folks at Powertrax and went through an installation with one of its engineers, Valentine Cucu. The installation is so easy and quick we had to have Cucu slow down so we could take our pictures. But even with his pausing for photos, the time it took from when the Monte Carlo was lifted up on the hoist to when the rearend was filled back up with differential fluid was less than 40 minutes.
At the time this is being written we have had a couple of weeks and about 600 miles with the No-Slip unit and have found it to perform very well. The car pulls around corners much better thanks to better power transfer and seems to handle better. The unit is noticeable, however, while performing slow maneuvers such as parking we can hear a light click as it disengages, but this is generally with the radio off and the window rolled down. There is also a little bit more back lash than the original open differential when shifting between Reverse and Drive, but other than that the unit is quiet while cruising and seamless in its operation. One thing to note with the installation is that the use of the grease to help hold the unit together will make the unit disengage hard for the first 100 miles or so until the grease is dissolved and the parts seat during the break-in period.

STATE OF THE 'E: All You Do Is Complain
by, 10-11-2013 at 05:46 PM (6468 Views)
Good evening you sacks of beautiful human flesh. I have decided to give you a blog considering I haven't done one in many, many months. Now here's the deal, you guys are used to people giving you "Top 10" bullshit. I'm actually here to deliver you a blog. An opinion piece that has structure and some topic mixed in with my randomness.
If you can't comprehend what I do, don't read. Simple as that. Of course as always though, feel free to throw your comments, suggestions, hate speech, favorite cookie recipes and pantie size down at the bottom. So, lets get this going shall we?
The Often Imitated, NEVER duplicated: STATE OF THE 'E
Okay... make up your damn mind people. You want THE 'E to give you craziness, unpredictability and just flat out shock factor. They're doing that with no one winning the WWE Championship, with things going all crazy and McMahon-Helmsley 2.0 running around but, you still find a way to bitch.
People want their money back? Really? How many PPV's ended in messed up decisions in your beloved "Attitude Era"? Not all of them were clean, not all of them were happy and sunshine at the end. Austin got screwed more times than Barbie Blank screwed the WWE locker room. And you complain... about what you wanted. And now you want your money back. Da fuq?? You people are what's wrong with things.
They're giving you varied guys, different type of matches, throwing things out there to see what sticks and everyone is batting it down like it's nothing. SummerSlam was an incredible PPV from bell to bell. What happens? No one buys it. The matches were completely stacked for people to have a blast watching.
The matches were incredible to boot. CM Punk VS Lesnar, Bryan VS Cena, Wyatt VS Kane... hell, even the Total Divas match kicked ass! And what happened? Lack of support gave us Night Of Champions. Ugh. Battleground. Double ugh. Help them. That WWE app may sound like its crazy but I know for fact they're listening and trying to mold.
I'm part of the "WWE Fan Council" and yes, they send out constant surveys to see what people want. It would help if they had more people on the council and didn't make it a limited amount of people. But either way, yes, we are helping to shape TV and PPV. Get more involved and things will change!
Yes. WWE right now is in the shits when it comes to creativity. But realistically, there's only so far they can go when they pigeonholed themselves in this PG area. We, as fans for a long time feel like they're betraying us. They're not. They're trying to give millions of millions of people one singular voice that is conveyed on television weekly.
But do we collectively care? No. Because we want instant gratification now. This "Me Generation" really sucks. I'm sick and tired of you all complaining about things that they're trying to fix but you won't allow them the time to fix it. You wanted longer storyline, they gave you them. What'd you do? Bitch that the 3 months worth of storyline was too long.
They're giving you different things, pushing different people. How do you respond?? By not watching. And you complain that they resort back to Cena and McMahon... what do you expect them to do? Get your shit together people.
Speaking of pushes and all.Give these people a chance. You are blood thirsty for new people but, don't support them? How does that even compute to make sense in your minds? You complain "There's no more gimmicks!" Ryback, Los Matadores, Fandango, 3MB, and a few others, they're gimmicks. Hell, technically CM Punk is a gimmick. Support them. They'll lead into better gimmicks. There's a lack of them right now because THE 'E are testing waters on how people react to something different.
Guess what, you're not reacting very well now, are you? I don't know about you but some of the flash and awesomeness of "The Attitude Era" was the fact that people had gimmicks, they had catchphrases, they had some oomph. THE 'E changed with the times when people wen to UFC. They went on more "real" names because that's what was popular.
You want change, initiate that by showing them you want it. We won't get Ascension, or anything like that until the support is there. We're currently supporting the hell out of Bray Wyatt.... keep that momentum up. We'll see better things down the road.
In Closing:
I'd just like to say that I'm a WWE lifer. Not a "mark". Hell, I believe their current product could be a ton better but, in order for that to happen, we need to show them we're WANTING the product to be better. Playing Tuesday morning Quarterback or after PPV Quarterback doesn't help much by bitching about it on a forum.
Take the time to consider that this is a changing landscape in entertainment and THE 'E have to stay in touch. They have to stay involved in the here and now. Whatever society deems appropriate, THE 'E will deem it so.
Thanks for reading my word vomit. I'll see how reactions are and that may or may not dictate me doing another one soon. If I don't see you, have a great one. Leave all your word vomit below. HAVE A NICE DAY!!
See how much more awesome things are with a gimmick?
See You Soon, Space Cowboy...

Cool Solution For Hot Problems
EP Editorial Staff | May 12, 2010
Automatic self-cleaning screen-filters provide cooling-system protection and more.
Cooling towers dissipate both ambient and process heat in most large manufacturing facilities. These structures facilitate the transfer of unwanted energy (heat) from a transport liquid (usually water) to the atmosphere. Problems with efficient heat transfer, equipment protection and pathological risks to employees can most often be traced to an issue with suspended solids. These solids can originate in the process, in the piping, from the atmosphere or from internal biological growth.
Common methods of maintaining minimal suspended solids in a cooling system are side-stream filtration, a process that cleans only a portion of system flow; cyclonic devices, which typically treat all water in a system, but are best at removing high-specific-gravity solids; and granular media filtration, which is also used to treat all water, but is best at removing low-specific-gravity organic solids.
Orival offers yet another method—automatic self-cleaning screen-filter technology—that can be used for all system water. Trapping both organic and inorganic solids, regardless of specific gravity, this process also requires minimal energy and little or no coolant liquid for the self-cleaning process. Fully automatic self-cleaning screen filters use weave-wire screens as the filtering media. These provide a positive removal system and eliminate all particles larger than the filtration degree of the screen from the cooling system, and many smaller particles as well. This is due to the filtration effect of the filter cake that builds on the screen element surface between cleaning cycles.
The filtration improvement can be loosely quantified as removing particles down to about 1/10 the size of the screen-filtration degree when the filter cake is at its thickest. This 1:10 relationship, as employed in screen-filtration systems, is called the capture ratio. An efficient suction-cleaning principle allows the filter cake to be removed completely from the screen surface within seconds, without touching the cake or screen.
During the suction-cleaning cycle, the filtration process is uninterrupted, thereby providing filtered water downstream at all times and eliminating redundant equipment. Water and chemical losses are minimized, and organic and inorganic solids are removed with equal efficiency. Since only a small pressure differential occurs across the screen element, extrusion of soft organic material through the screen is prevented. If a problem should occur with the filter, a controller will open a built-in bypass valve to provide continuous water flow. The controller will then send a signal to notify personnel.
Routine maintenance of automatic self-cleaning screen filters is minimal, consisting of a monthly inspection of the rinse valves (to see that they are seating properly) and an annual inspection of the screen and hydraulic piston. An occasional manually induced cleaning cycle is recommended to assure proper operation.

All of the online ad revenue comes from views/impressions, so cutting off a majority of their online customer base does affect the ad revenue. We're probably talking $1-$2 per 1k impressions, but that can add up quickly.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
In other words, there's no such thing as a free reader. I read the IndyStar daily, sometimes a few times a day and definitely a few stories a day, so I've probably earned the Star a few bucks.
I'd consider myself a loyal reader, but I can't justify paying $12/month for the Star. I can afford it, but it's a ridiculous price, imo. Here's what I think will happen: This high subscription rate will eliminate 90-95% of the Star's online readers while marginally cannibaliizing some of their print sales. They'll eventually lower the price to draw in more readers but most of the new audience they'll be looking to draw in will be long gone.

Johnson Controls confirms intention to lay off 204 workers
Johnson Controls has informed the state Department of Labor & Industry that it will lay off 204 workers from its Waynesboro facility in Franklin County.
The job cuts will be made in phases through Oct. 15, 2015, according to the company's WARN notice filed with the state. The layoffs will occur in 18 "waves" that began April 7, the notice said.
The announcement was expected after Johnson Controls previewed its layoff plans late last year. Company officials said the positions would be relocated to a facility in Mexico.
Last-minute negotiations with union officials representing the Waynesboro workers reportedly failed to change the relocation plan.
The 100 CV Ave. plant, which manufactures refrigeration equipment, is among the largest employers in the area and a major manufacturer in Franklin County.
Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls acquired the former Frick Co. building in Waynesboro as part of the $3.2 billion acquisition of York International in 2005. The company's building efficiency segment has facilities in 22 states and 20 foreign countries.
Johnson Controls is a global company creating products and services for the energy and operational efficiencies of buildings, batteries for vehicles and interior systems for automobiles.
The company is building a new campus in southern York County estimated to cost more than $150 million.
Shares of the company are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol JCI.

NHS chiefs are asking the people of Swindon for their views on plans for the future of health in the town over the next two years.
Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), the organisation responsible for buying healthcare for Swindon, has released its Commissioning Intentions report for 2014-2016, setting out its priorities.
These include a strong focus on cancer and urgent care as well as self-care and prevention.
The CCG will be responsible for buying £228m of local health services in the next year alone and will work with experts as well as members of the public to decide where to prioritise investment. As part of the consultation process, members of the public are invited to express their opinions and voice any potential concerns at a meeting being held on Wednesday, February 26 between 6pm and 8pm at New College, Queen's Drive, Swindon.
A spokesman for Swindon CCG said: "This is the first of a series of listening events that NHS Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group is holding in order to gain the views of local residents and patients on how we design and deliver local health services on their behalf over the coming two years.
"The first of these events will be a listening exercise where people can raise their questions and thoughts to our initial plans.
"We will then hold further events in coming months to respond to what we have heard, how we have adapted our plans based on the feedback received and present the agreed vision for the future of Swindon's healthcare from our clinical leaders."
