Tower Hobbies - vs - Horizon Hobbies
I posted this elsewhere this morning but it bears reading........
I recently purchased a RimFire from Hobbico/Tower Hobbies I ordered it from my LHS. I installed it in a MiniPulse XT. Test run of about 10 minutes prior to first flight.
Lasted 4 minutes in the air yesterday. Lucky for me I had a great pilot on the sticks (not me) for the maiden flight. He got the plane back dead-stick unscathed. When he landed all of us were floored that the motor was done. The pilot told me he never past 3/4 throttle!
Called Tower Hobbies Tech support at 10:30 am this morning. And got what could best be described as the "run around". The tech basically said without the receipt handy he was not going to help me at all. He then went on it intimate it was all my fault. Wrong ESC, wrong prop, wrong battery. I assure all of you it is the correct ESC / prop / battery combo. I am currently looking for the receipt. And now the dance begins.
I am telling you this story not because I am a bit upset about the treatment by Tower BUT to illustrate how really good the guys at HH are when it comes to taking care of issues. I have had two Micro P51 motors go in the last year. The first one was replaced without hesitation, over the phone, no receipt asked for, AND that was not even what I was looking for! My question was is it the motor, not can you please send me a new one.
So after being a customer of Tower since the 70's......
My experience with Tower has been so so......I called to find out if they had paint codes and paint for the GP L-39....told me to call GP......they didn't have a clue....annoyed but it was cosmetic, not power system
I would return it to LHS, they seem to have more leverage if they are willing to get involved.
You seem to have gotten the Tower Two Step! It's been problematic of their CSR for many years now. I especially LOVE the fact that they don't even provide a toll free number for tech support. Nothing like paying good money to wait on hold and get wrong information.
I really don't want to turn this to a TowerBash, but MAYBE the Powers That Be will take notice and fix this and maybe just maybe fix the website as well.
There's really not enough information posted above to determine what the difficulty was. However, we'll be glad to work with you. Just a few points, though....
1) If you purchased an item from hobby retailer, they should easily be able to give you a copy of a sales receipt. In most cases, a copy of the purchase reciept is required to validate any warranty claims.
2) If you will send your motor to us, we'll be glad to see how we can help you. If it was purchased within the warranty period, there should be no difficulties working with you. Just give us the dealer you purchased from and the purchase date. We can work something out.
3) Why would your hobby retailer talk to Tower Hobbies? A retailer would normally not make purchases from Tower. Do you mean Great Planes, who is the distributor?
Please ship your item to:

Package your item(s) carefully against shipping hazards. Please make sure it's insured against loss or damage in shipping. Include a letter with your name, return shipping address, daytime telephone #, Fax, Email (as much contact information as possible), and a detailed description of the problems you are having with your equipment.
We can't say enough about having a detailed letter that describes your difficulties. Without specifics, we cannot really tell what's wrong.

I have been dealing with TH recently, no problems. I received a P-40 Warhawk ARF with damaged wings, emailed them about it and they told me they will send me a new pair of wings with return postage label for UPS for the damaged wings; for me that's good/great service.
Got along fine for 20 plus years without them.
Have done several million in business with HHD without major cock ups. Had a few with HHD but a in person visit has solved them all.
Had a customer with an JR9303 / AR500 intermittent loss of neutral on ail & elev. Big plane, he really should of had a better receiver. Doing several mixes in the TX. I called yesterday about problem, neither of us could figure out the problem. HHD said pull a 7000 receiver from our stock and swap with the customer. They sent me a new 7000 to replace my stock today. Customer dropped off his AR500 and took the new 7000 home with him.
Customer is happy, I am happy.
LHS found the receipt this morning 09/04/10.
As you can see from the above post TH is trying to help and I appreciate this very much.
No USPS or UPS on Monday, so I will send it back on Tuesday.
I will be interested to see how they handle this due to the fact that LHS was told this motor has been discontinued.
I went with this motor / ESC combo because it was recommended to me by and old friend and a very long time LHS, 15 plus years (not in the same place I live now) employee. I fully understand why he suggested it and hold no ill will towards him. But I do believe when I tell him what happened he might just owe me a frosty cold imported adult beverage next time I am in his hometown.
I am also not feeling very confident with the ESC a Great Planes Silver Series.
I will keep you all posted as things progress.
TH CSR have repeatedly given me incorrect part numbers or non answers to my inquires. I remember a time when TH was the LEADER of the pack, but trust me when I tell you that for me to go this far on a message board I am at the end of my rope and that knot is not that big.
Received a brand new RimFire .10 today via UPS today. This is a replacement for my original.
Total time to have my problem resolved: 19 days.
Happy? Yes and no. Yes I am happy that the problem was resolved. I still think TH could do a better job of Customer Service. I did receive a post card informing me that my motor had been received. I did find it odd they sent a post card instead of email, and yes I did provide my email address. I know I sound a bit nit-picky, but it just struck me as odd to mail a post card PLUS incur the added cost of postage.
In hind sight I wish I had handled this whole situation differently. I made a mistake by loosing the sales receipt. LHS moved a mountain to provide me with a replacement. Trust me when I tell you he had to go through several hundred transactions to find the original. I also wish TH would have had a bit more understanding attitude on the phone. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be firm and uncooperative. It really was the CSR attitude that set me off not the policy. Policy is policy, but a kind word or even the implied notion of sympathy goes a long long way to sooth ruffled feathers.

I know this tread may be old and dead but I wanted to put my 2 cents in. I'v had a few problems with items I got from TH but they were always quick to respond. I ordered a 2nd reciever for my Tower Hobbies FM radio and didn't try it out right away. I got to it about a month later and it didn't work. I called them up and they sent me another reciever right away. recieved it in 2 days (usually takes 1 day shipping to where I am) and they didn't even want the old one back. Had another problem with a fuse side that was warped in a kit I bought. I called the next morning and they sent me replacements the next day. I have never had a problem with customer service from Tower Hobbies and I hope I never do.
I used to get awesome service from TH. Been ordering for 20+ years. Used to was the key word.
I was always treated with kindness, respect and concern for the small amount of issues that would occur. For the longest time they had zero errors and I even called in my orders instead of using the website because they were so nice to talk to.
It changed all of a sudden one year. Like night and day.
After I got burned by more than one scratch and dent item that was grossly misrepresented (some weren't even the items they claimed they were) on the website, and told to pretty much to go spin on my thumb by the phone CSRs when I called about it, I stopped ordering.
I understand sold as-is, but when you give a hugely incorrect description (such as they say "works fine, minor covering damage", and you get a box of smashed parts with many others missing, no way this thing worked earlier), that's not as-is, that's false advertising. I'm willing to fix scratch and dent items, that's the point. But to blatantly tell me items are ok with minor damage but still working and I get an item that isn't even the same item or a box of balsa scraps more than once, then you tell me I have to pay to have it all sorted out, no way, I object.
I was even a member of that "Gold" club or whatever they called it that they gave large discounts to select buyers (not the Super Saver thing, though I joined that too), for when you spend thousands each year.
Since getting burned, I have only dropped a few bucks on them here and there when they had something I couldn't get elsewhere.
Other than that, my hobby dollars have been feeding distributors other than Tower / Great Planes / Hobbico. In fact, I go out of my way not to give them my money when I can.
Kinda sad, like losing a good friend is how I felt, and still feel about it.
I am sorry to hear of your troubles.
I was a TH customer since 1976. Now granted this was an on and off again relationship but still it goes back a long way. I also remember the days when the person answering the phone was courteous, and helpful. I fear those days are gone, or they all left and went to work for (HH).
Like you, I am no longer a TH fan or customer unless I am forced to. Since HH has come along with their stellar CSR why should I spend my hard earned hobby dollars at a less than competitive mail order company.
The 19 days it took them to replace an obviously defective motor, still under warranty, sealed their fate. I could have dealt with having to return it at my cost had the CSR at least been willing to be courteous.
At best you would think they would reinvest a few dollars and upgrade their website. I hate to say this but it looks like something out of the late 80's.
As I stated before I don't want to TowerBash, actually I wish they would get their act together and return to their former glory. I really hate to see an American institution flounder and fold up.
Remember this: ".....your only as good as your last happy customer"

Anyone Else Keep Their Kids Off Dairy? Gluten? Food Dyes? Processed Foods? Etc?

Re: Anyone Else Keep Their Kids Off Dairy? Gluten? Food Dyes? Processed Foods? Etc?
I used to be a lot more hardcore about what we ate. Not gluten or dairy free or any other required restrictions, just more whole foods, more organics, purposeful avoidance of certain things like hfsc and preservatives, etc. I was working to overcome GMO's, like corn, soy, and sugar beet products. But life and finances and time all got in the way and every other family member has been highly resistant of even slow diet change, so we're back to where we started, essentially. And you know what? I feel like crap almost all the time. I'm tired all the time. My gut is a mess if I don't take a fiber supplement every day. My oldest is an emotional wreck. Hubby is tired all the time. Our sex drives are lacking. Do I think it's the food? Yep. Is there anything I can do about it? *sigh* I don't know.
Part of the problem is that *I* don't like lentils or collard greens and a bunch of other healthy stuff. So I never serve it and therefore no one else in the family will eat it. Even the veggies I do like are rarely served because I'm the only one who will eat them. Not worth even cooking when I'm pressed for time as it is.
It's a cycle I don't like being in at all. I want to feel better, I know the high price of good food is worth it, but over my dead body am I spending that kind of money on uneaten food. Whether my kids were born picky eaters or I made them picky - I have no idea, but I don't even know where to start to fix this mess we're in.
That said, we are trying to eliminate food dyes from my oldest DD's diet. She's an emotional mess and I want to see if it helps her. Preliminary evidence suggests that she IS affected by dye, but it's still an ongoing process.
I have nothing to add, really, since the only thing we've even ventured into is hfsc and dye, but hats off to anyone who can get their kids to eat super healthy foods all the time. I saw a picture of a friend's kid on facebook eating lettuce and tomatoes and rice (like the inside of one of those fancy burritos) and I was insanely jealous because none of my kids would touch any of that with a 10 foot pole.
But as it stands, I'm just a health food wannabe at this point.

The latest issue of the Rhode Island Bar Journal features an article of interest to anyone involved in estate planning in the Northeast. The article, Estate Planning for Florida Snowbirds, discusses some of the financial and legal implications for New England seniors who spend their winters in Florida or retire there.
From the article:
If a Rhode Island attorney is advising a client with interests in both Rhode Island and Florida, it is important for him or her to understand the difference and interplay between the laws of the two states, as well as neighboring states such as Massachusetts. Because most Florida retirees maintain some connection to Rhode Island (and one day may return to the Ocean State due to the death of a spouse or declining health), problems can arise if both states' laws are not considered when preparing an estate plan.
We provide a summary of the important distinctions between Rhode Island, and its neighbor Massachusetts, and Florida in the areas of tax, creditor protection, Medicaid, and incapacity, as well as the planning techniques available to structure one's estate plan to optimize those differences. A brief ethical discussion of Florida's strong stance against the unlicensed practice of law concludes the piece.
Though the article is aimed primarily at attorneys in Rhode Island, its discussion of Florida law makes it a worthwhile read for anyone with Florida snowbird clients.

Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Desertion and/or Adultery
My wife told me she wants a seperation or a divorce, my choice. I told her I did not want a divorce. She now wants to move out ''for a few months'', and wants me to sign a no-fault agreement that states I will not hold her responsable for many things, including desertion or adultery. I don't know what to do, but I know I want the marriage to work and feel I should do anything that keeps the relationship open. Should I sign it?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Desertion and/or Adultery
NO, NO, NO. Do not sign that document if you are not in agreement to the divorce. In VA if you sign a separation agreement and you have no minor children she can use that document to get divorced from you within 6 months of the time she moves out. I'd refuse to sign to have some time for things to settle down. Keep in mind, however, that she could still get a divorce within one year of moving out even if you do object, but that extra six months could help emotions die down. Also, if she leaves you could sue for desertion or defend yourself on the grounds of desertion but that will only help you in the marital property distribution. Do you have property of value? If not, it may not worth your while to bother litigating the issue of desertion.
Give me a call if you need further information. You can reach me at 703-968-3974.

Lawmakers pay political price for sequester, Turnout key in S.C. primary, Rand backs path to citizenship, Senate CR advances, Police say women lied about Menendez, Dems razz Ryan over gaffe
( email@example.com or @scottwongDC)
THE SEQUESTER: LAWMAKERS PAY POLITICAL PRICE -- POLITICO's Darren Samuelsohn reports from Belleville, Ill.: "Rep. Bill Enyart might be a Democrat and Rep. Rodney Davis a Republican, but the two rookie lawmakers in Southern Illinois share one fear. Sequestration could cost them their seats. Enyart and Davis are three months into their new jobs — representing next-door districts — and constituents already are blaming them for not doing enough to stop the automatic spending cuts. This week, 4,500 civilian workers at nearby Scott Air Force Base will receive furlough notices — a troubling reminder for Davis, who won his seat last fall by just 1,002 votes.
Story Continued Below
-- "Enyart's no better off: He pledged to protect Scott during his 2012 campaign, but at last weekend's St. Patrick's Day parade in his hometown of Belleville, several people shouted, 'Stop the sequester!' as he walked by tossing green beads to children. 'Certainly, in my district, we're in crisis stage,' Enyart told POLITICO after marching in the parade. This tale of two districts is a reminder for some in Washington who still think about sequester as an abstract political fight. On the ground, the cuts are real — and so are the political consequences." http://politi.co/ZG73w6
--POLITICO's Steven Sloan and Rachel Bade write that the sequester has local leaders across the country eyeing tax increases to make up for lost revenue and services: http://politi.co/ZG7c2w
TURNOUT KEY TO S.C. PRIMARY – Gina Smith reports for The State in Columbia, S.C.: "In special elections like today's 1st Congressional District primaries, turnout is almost certain to be light – about 30,000 voters, campaign officials speculate. With former Gov. Mark Sanford well in front of the GOP pack, according to most polls, the Republican able to join him in an expected runoff will have to turn out supporters at the polls en mass, according to advisers for the various campaigns. 'There are some high schools in Texas where you have to get more votes to be student government president than what it will take to come in second place in this race,' said Walt Whetsell, campaign adviser to GOP candidate John Kuhn, an attorney and former state senator. … Sanford is expected to take about a third of the Republican vote and slide into a first-place finish. But he is not expected to take a majority, making an April 2 runoff against today's second-place finisher likely.
-- "Last-minute campaign rumblings and internal polls indicate Curtis Bostic, a former Charleston County Council member, is making a big push to be that candidate. Bostic has put about $100,000 of his own money into the race, far less than some of the other challengers, and has run fewer TV spots. However, the Charleston attorney is picking up steam among evangelical church congregations and parents who home school their children." http://bit.ly/ZqAFhJ
-- Here are Alex Isenstadt's 5 things to watch in today's S.C. primary: http://politi.co/ZG7l5Z
FIRST LOOK: DEMS RAZZ RYAN OVER HEALTH CARE GAFFE -- House Democrat are poking fun at Budget Chairman Paul Ryan for saying at a news conference last week that Republicans are "not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people." As they rally against the Ryan budget today, Democratic leaders will show a video of Ryan's gaffe at a caucus meeting this morning. "We'll give Chairman Ryan the benefit of the doubt that he misspoke," Dems will say in a press release later today. "Nonetheless, House Democrats will continue fighting for a balanced plan that protects Medicare, creates jobs, grows the economy, strengthens the middle class and responsibly reduces the deficit ." Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/12FziVdvKAE
-- Meanwhile, Georgia Senate hopeful, GOP Rep. Paul Broun, argues in a NYT op-ed that the Ryan budget doesn't cut deep enough. "It fails to seriously address runaway government spending, the most pressing problem facing our nation. I cannot vote for something that would trick the American people into thinking that Congress is fixing Washington's spending problem, when in actuality we'd just be allowing it to continue without end. … My party's de facto position has become 'we're increasing spending, but not as much as the other guy.' That's not good enough." http://nyti.ms/XmTXCc
STANFORD PROFS.: RYAN BUDGET WOULD BOOST ECONOMY – Professors John F. Cogan and John B. Taylor praise the House budget in the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal: "According to our research, the spending restraint and balanced-budget parts of the House Budget Committee plan would boost the economy immediately. With the Budget Committee's proposed tax reform included, the immediate impact would be even larger. The entire plan would raise gross domestic product by one percentage point in 2014, equivalent to about a $1,500 increase for each U.S. household. Ten years from now, at the end of the official budget horizon, we estimate that the entire plan would raise GDP by three percentage points, or more than $4,000 for each U.S. household." http://on.wsj.com/145eVfW
-- Ryan will present his budget to Senate Republicans at lunch today, the Hill reports: http://bit.ly/WT6Ngr
NEW WaPo/ABC NEWS POLL: 58 percent of Americans now back same-sex marriage, up from 36 percent in 2006. http://wapo.st/ZaTYZb
SALON ASKS: HAVE REPUBLICANS READ THEIR NEW REBRANDING REPORT? – Alex Seitz-Wald writes for the online magazine: "How serious are Republicans about their effort to reach out to minorities, one of the core doctrines of their big new Growth and Opportunity Project report they released this morning? … The report says 'we have to engage' minority voters "and show our sincerity." A first test of that strategy approached them almost instantly, with President Obama's nomination today of Tom Perez to serve as labor secretary. And so far, they don't seem to be implementing it very deftly. Perez, who is currently the head of the Department of Justice' Civil Rights Division, has had his name dragged through the mud over factually inaccurate, race-baiting charges of impropriety. Some conservatives claim that Perez, a Latino working under the first black president and first black attorney general in history, dismissed a case against a handful of New Black Panther activists in some kind gesture of racial solidarity. …
-- "The New Black Panthers controversy was always absurd and conspiratorial, but now it's also almost three years old. Nonetheless, when Obama officially nominated Perez Monday morning, some just couldn't help themselves in dredging it up again. Just hours after the nomination, Sen. David Vitter said he will filibuster Perez over the allegations. 'Thomas Perez's record should be met with great suspicion by my colleagues for his spotty work related to the New Black Panther case,' Vitter said in a statement declaring that he will 'block' the nominee." http://bit.ly/149bghw
-- Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele urged the Senate to confirm Perez, whom he called a "good family man." BuzzFeed: http://bit.ly/ZqCzPs
RAND PAUL TO ENDORSE A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP – The Associated Press: "Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is endorsing a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, a significant move for a favorite of tea party Republicans who are sometimes hostile to such an approach. In a speech to be delivered Tuesday morning to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the potential 2016 presidential candidate declares, 'If you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you.' … Paul's path to citizenship would come with conditions that could make it long and difficult for illegal immigrants. Chief among these, Congress would have to agree first that progress was being made on border security. Nonetheless, Paul's endorsement of allowing illegal immigrants an eventual way to become citizens puts him in line with a growing number of Republicans who are embracing action on immigration as a way to broaden the GOP's appeal to Latinos." http://lat.ms/XmVb0d

THE ROGERS REPORT: SENATE CR ADVANCES – "A stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown next week and keep agencies operating through September advanced in the Senate Monday night — powered by a renewed bipartisan partnership in the Appropriations Committee leadership," writes David Rogers. "On a 63-35 roll call, 10 Republicans joined Democrats to limit further debate on the 587-page package, which seeks to greatly expand on the House-passed version of the same continuing resolution or CR. The strength of the vote all but assures passage, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it was his 'sincere hope' that this will occur Tuesday. All indications are once the Senate acts, the House Appropriations Committee leadership is prepared to take the modified Senate CR directly to the House floor, possibly as early as Thursday. 'We've come very far on this bill,' said Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) in a final appeal to her colleagues. 'We have to decide: Do we want to make the perfect the enemy of the good?'" http://politi.co/109KVMM
POLICE: DOMINICAN WOMEN PAID TO LIE ABOUT MENENDEZ -- Luz Lazo and Carol D. Leonnig write on A3 of the Washington Post: "Three Dominican women were paid to lie about having sex for money with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and a close friend, Dominican police said Monday, citing statements from the women and other evidence. At a news conference in the Dominican Republic, National Police spokesman Maximo Baez Aybar said authorities had determined that the women were paid hundreds of dollars by a local lawyer to make the false claims in videotaped interviews. The women said the lawyer coached them on what to say in their recorded statements, taped in a Dominican shopping mall in La Romana province. …
-- "Allegations that Menendez patronized prostitutes in the Dominican Republic began circulating last year while he was running for reelection and resurfaced in recent weeks, after he became chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The videotaped claims of two women, made with their faces obscured, were posted last fall on the conservative Web site the Daily Caller. … According to Dominican police, the taping was arranged by lawyer Melanio Figueroa, who was accompanied by a man who appeared not to be Dominican, and began in a hotel but moved to a shopping mall to get a better wireless connection. …
-- "On Monday afternoon, the Daily Caller posted an article saying, 'TheDC has not independently verified the identities of the women involved in the Dominican National Police investigation, but will continue to investigate the case.' The article said 'it remains unclear' whether the woman who gave her name as de los Santos was one of the women who appeared in the Web site's interview." http://wapo.st/ZPJkYS
ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN LOSES STEAM – John Bresnahan and Manu Raju report for POLITICO: "After a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday, a frustrated [Sen. Dianne] Feinstein said she learned that the bill she sponsored — which bans 157 different models of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — wouldn't be part of a Democratic gun bill to be offered on the Senate floor. Instead, it can be offered as an amendment. But its exclusion from the package makes what was already an uphill battle an almost certain defeat. The ban is supported by more than a dozen Senate Democrats and the White House, as well as gun-control groups. …
-- "Reid's decision highlights the tightrope walked by the majority leader in governing the gun control issue. Trapped between the White House and rank-and-file Democrats who support broad gun control legislation following the shootings last December in Newtown, Conn., Reid must also be mindful of red-state Democrats up for reelection in 2014 who favor gun rights. And the decision to drop the assault weapons ban from the package illustrates the fact that any big changes to gun control legislation will still be challenging. Aside from the ban, three other major pieces of gun legislation have been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee: a gun trafficking bill, a Democrats-only background checks measure and a proposal to increase school safety." http://politi.co/109T83i
BACHMANN SEEKS REDEMPTION AT HOME – Kyle Trygstad reports for Roll Call: "Once one of the tea party's loudest voices on Capitol Hill, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann now shuns the national spotlight for Saturday morning coffees in St. Cloud. These are the political consequences when a former presidential candidate wins re-election by a single point. Fourteen months after dropping out of the White House race, Bachmann is attempting to recast her national profile into a local one. After a humbling year, the former state senator appears to be fortifying the roots that helped launch her quick ascent into the national consciousness and ultimately made her a contender for the GOP's presidential nomination." http://bit.ly/XYXDzX

AUD/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General Overview
The Aussie fell on Tuesday on the back of the central bank officials' comments that the regulator needs a weaker currency.
Current situation
The recent recovery from 0.7500 appeared to be overextended. The price returned below 0.7540 and is consolidating its gains now. The price is developing below the moving averages in the 4 hours chart. The moving averages keep heading lower. The 50-EMA is crossing the 100 and 200 EMAs downwards. The resistance is at 0.7540, the support comes in at 0.7500.
MACD remained at the same level which confirms the strength of sellers.
RSI is consolidating within the oversold area.
Trading recommendations
We remain bearish on the outlook for the currency. The level 0.7500 holds the pair from its further decrease. A break below this mark risks a decline towards the next support at 0.7460.

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Show Detailed Description
The human body houses a huge microbial ecosystem, including the intestinal and oral microbiota. Both these ecosystems, and, in particular, the intestinal one, are responsible for maintaining human health. The response of the organism to the diet and the relative alteration of the susceptibility to disease are worth of investigation to comprehend the role of the microbiota to maintain the state of well being in humans. This concept, which is the overall scientific basis of the entire project, perfectly fits with the declared scopes of Horizon 2020. Understanding the impact of omnivore, vegetarian and vegan diets on human intestinal microbiota is aligned to the Grand Societal Challenge of the Horizon 2020 scheme, which is addressing the human nutritional needs and the impact of food on human physiological functions. In particular, studying the link between dietary habits and the intestinal microbiota activity will be pivotal to improve the food-based promotion of health and well being. The project aims at studying how the omnivore, vegetarian and vegan diets may affect the oral intake of microorganims, and the composition of the oral and fecal microbiota. With the aim to build up a permanent European platform for such type of studies, ten Research Units (RUs) are involved in the proposal, with the partnership of 16 National and, especially, foreign Institutions, covering 12 different countries. About 50 omnivore, vegetarian and vegan volunteers, for a total of 150 subjects will be recruited. Volunteers will be asked to fill in diaries, describing their dietary habits, and to collect biological samples (saliva, feces and urine), once a week for three weeks. For obvious ethical constraints, biopsies will be not available in this study. RUs will share their tasks, mainly depending on the nature of the samples to be studied, namely foods and biological samples. Based on the different dietary habits, the presumptive intake of microorganims will be estimated using literature data and, especially, culture-dependent methods. Typing and antibiotic resistance of some food related microbial communities or foods will be also investigated. The microbial diversity of foods, whose microbiota has never been studied in depth, will be characterized by PCR-DGGE and deep sequencing. The metabolome characterization will complete the overview on foods. After collecting and preparing biological samples from the three diet groups, the oral and fecal microbiota will be studied. The viable cell number of several microbial groups will be estimated in fecal samples, before freezing. Preliminarily, the microbial diversity of saliva and fecal ecosystems will be analyzed through PCR-DGGE. PCR assessment of genetic basis of antibiotic resistance will be also carried out. Selected numbers of biological samples will be further subjected to next generation sequencing, aiming at determining representative individuals/samples of the three types of diet. Only for feces, representative samples (e.g., 4/5 for each diet) will be subjected to meta-omics analyses based on meta-genomic, meta-transcriptomic and meta-proteomic approaches. An integrated and iterative workflow will be also developed, by assembling an in house synthetic meta-genome. The functionality of fecal samples and/or of isolates from feces will be characterized based on fecal genotoxic and anti-genotoxic activities, and modulation of the immune response. In agreement with an holistic approach, the metabolome analysis of saliva, feces and urine will complete the characterization of biological samples. All data available from the different RUs will merge into a common database, whose structure will be developed during the project. Based on the literature data (ISI Web of Knowledge), this is the first study that aims at correlating the effect of the main dietary habits on the oral and fecal microbiota through integrated meta-omics analyses.

text: How you prepare By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Food and medications Before the procedure, discuss with your surgeon what to expect from the surgery. Review your medical history, list any medical conditions you have, and tell the surgeon about any medications, supplements or herbs you're taking. Your surgeon will recommend that you stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or NSAIDs, at least two weeks prior to surgery. Other precautionsIf your procedure requires the removal of only a small amount of fat, the surgery might be done in an office setting. If a large amount of fat needs to be removed — or if you plan to have other procedures done at the same time — the surgery might take place in a hospital followed by an overnight stay.

Well it has been called various names on official documents over the centuries so depends on what century for a start.

St. Patrick's Church would be a local church but that doesn't mean they attended there! Some of mine lived near their local church but traveled miles
into Monaghan town in 1820's to attend church, christenings/marriages/funeral services etc but are buried in their local church.
One of mine was a Methodist Minister and was on various circuits, his kids are in C of I records. So as to what church yours attended I wouldn't try
to guess but local church would only be starting place.
Others of mine were baptised, married, kids baptised in same C of I church but some of these are buried in Pres. G/yard a few miles away, so the rule
is 'there are no rules!'...it wasn't a requirement to attend local church!

"As chaplains we get a chance to listen to a person for a long period of time, so that we can understand what they're looking for, and also try to help them to tap into what's inside of them that is strong, that is calm, that is pretty stable, in a very chaotic environment. To help them think about what their resources are, what really matters to them, what's going to help them right now. I think that we are able to help a lot of people to find their own answers. We don't generally have answers. We ask questions, trying to keep people talking, and finding their own way."

Chaplains at hospitals and other health care institutions serve both religious and non-religious patients and their families -- people who may be facing a medical emergency, and sometimes even a life-threatening condition. The role of chaplains is to comfort anyone who may feel afraid, angry, alone. In some cases, a health challenge can trigger a spiritual crisis, and chaplains are trained to help patients sort through complex feelings that may arise. In this episode of Humankind, we hear stories of inspiring and sometimes profound encounters with patients by three Boston-based chaplains: Rev. Michael McElhinny, Director of Chaplaincy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston; Rev. Lucy Sanders, Director of Pastoral Care, at Sherrill House, a nursing and rehabilitation facility in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts; and Rev. Beth Loomis, Director of Pastoral Care at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge.

A man broke into a Sayemore Drive house Tuesday, ate almost an entire cake and a dozen eggs, drank whiskey and left.
A witness told Athens-Clarke police that he came home at 10:30 p.m. and saw a heavyset black man in his 20s with short hair, wearing dark pants and a blue-and-white striped shirt, climbing out the window of a neighbor's house.
The victim told police that his cellphone, a dozen eggs, most of a cake and some whiskey were missing. Police said they also found a bag of chicken breasts and a half-full bottle of vodka under the window the burglar used to leave the house.

Late-stage spy shots of the next-generation Mustang suggest than the next-generation pony car is not long from hitting showroom floors. Up to now, the specific timing has been somewhat of a mystery, but believed to be sometime in calendar year 2014. If the latest rumor from Mustang enthusiast site MustangsDaily.com is to be believed, the new Mustang's debut will come sooner than later, with the model launching as a limited-edition 2014.5 model, much like the original 50 years ago.
In addition to the symbolic launch schedule, the production run of 2014.5 models is expected to be limited to just 1000 units, after which, the cars will presumably be labeled as 2015 models. With the 2015 model, the Mustang will reportedly go from strictly a North American model to a global one, with right-hand drive versions that will be destined for the U.K., Australia, and other markets. The staple performance engine is expected to be a higher-power version of the current 5.0-liter V-8, with a turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder and naturally-aspirated V-6 also offered. The site claims the limited-run introduction model will not bring any additional performance enhancements.
Reports also suggest the next-generation Mustang performance flagship may have a high-revving naturally-aspirated V-8 rather than the current Shelby GT500's supercharged 5.8-liter 662-hp engine. To the delight (or chagrin) of Mustang fans, the long-running live rear axle will finally make way for independent rear suspension. The only other production Mustang to feature independent rear suspension was the 1999-2004 Mustang Cobra.
Is Ford making the right decision with a limited mid-year rollout of the new Mustang, or should it stick to a traditional summer/fall model year rollout?

Hi, I've made generaly improvements and bug fixing to lastest version of Fusion and I want to share my work. All credits to Arcanthur for the best skin for my taste.
It based on version 0.9.0 and include some work from other mods as recent items but also a lots of improvements and bug fixes, for example:
- corrected display of textures in case sensitive filesystems
- added missing labels in some views (movie collections, file names, etc.)
- added option music goes to albums instead of artist or root
- added option to show imdb ratings instead of certifications
- corrected thumbs display to watch in addones
- new OSD for video and music (press up to activate stop button instead od play/pause)
- added option to cdart animation
- changed posters/thumbs/covers in list view to more be friendly (no more posters for everything)
- speed improvement in some views, specialy in wall and icon views
- and much more bugfixes I can't remember but I noticed them on forum
- etc, etc.
Still need some impvovements. Images and maybe more info later. Feel free.

I use addons to watch films and there are only film name and poster and poster is very small to see it from 3-4 meters distance even with 50" HDTV.

First image I really don't know I can only suppose that this is addone issue but I have to check this, what plugin do you use? There is no border around so it could be realize by ActualIcon, but I shoud see it.
Second, there is scaling of image, as most of addones use square icons but in this matter it can be done only by workaround and specify how list shoud behave in that addone.
BTW, how it works in regular 0.9.0 fusion version?

World Leaders Unconvinced by Gadhafi's Cease-fire Declaration
Libya leader Muammar Gadhafi announced a cease-fire Friday after the United Nations passed a resolution Thursday calling for a no-fly zone, authorizing 'all necessary measures' to protect civilians against Gadhafi's forces.
Despite embattled leader Muammar Gadhafi's announcement of a cease-fire in Libya Friday, world leaders are not entirely convinced that this is a strong enough step to warrant the cancellation of the no-fly zone decided upon by the UN Security Council on Thursday.
Clinton said on Friday the United States was not impressed by words of cease-fire from the Libyan government and would keep pressing for leader Muammar Gadhafi to step down. Other leaders have expressed similar sentiments.
Libya has been engulfed by protests for the past month, and Gadhafi forces have responded brutally to the rebels' revolts. The international community has been disputed on how best to respond to the Libyan leaderships' harsh crackdown and serious infringement of human rights.
The UN Security Council, meeting in an emergency session on Thursday, passed a resolution endorsing a no-fly zone to halt government troops now around 100 kilometers from Benghazi. It also authorized "all necessary measures" - code for military action - to protect civilians against Gadhafi's forces.
In response, Libya declared a ceasefire in the country and will comply with a United Nations resolution passed overnight, Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa said on Friday. The conciliatory message was in sharp contrast to comments made by Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi just before the UN vote, in which he said that forces loyal to him would mercilessly attack rebels.
"We decided on an immediate ceasefire and on an immediate stop to all military operations," he told reporters. "(Libya) takes great interest in protecting civilians," he said, adding that the country would also protect all foreigners and foreign assets in Libya.
The ceasefire offer was probably prompted by Gadhafi's realisation that air strikes could seriously degrade the Libyan military, said John Drake, senior risk consultant at AKE.
When asked about the cease-fire declaration, Clinton said "we are going to be not responsive or impressed by words, we would have to see actions on the ground and that is not yet at all clear," speaking with reporters after meeting with Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Eamon Gilmore.
"We will continue to work with our partners in the international community to press Gadhafi to leave and to support the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people," she said.
Clinton said the U.N. resolution passed Thursday was only one step and the international community would continue to consider options.
"While this resolution is an important step, it is only that, an important step," she said, adding that "we and our partners will continue to explore the most effective measures to end this crisis."
Other countries have expressed similar sentiments to those of Clinton. A French spokesman said in his response that "we have to be very cautious. He [Gadhafi] is now starting to be afraid, but on the ground the threat has not changed."
Britain, who like France is a strong advocate of armed intervention in Libya, said it would judge Gadhafi by "actions, not his words".
"Britain will deploy Tornadoes and Typhoons as well as air-to-air refuelling and surveillance aircraft," Prime Minister David Cameron told parliament.
The British prime minister continued, saying "Preparations to deploy these aircraft have already started and in the coming hours they will move to airbases from where they can start to take the necessary action."
Gulf state Qatar said it would take part but it was unclear whether that meant military help, while Italy said it would make military bases, equipment and troops available.
Denmark and Canada said they planned to contribute warplanes. France is to host talks on Saturday to discuss the action with British, Arab League and other leaders.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton announced Friday that representatives of the European Union, United Nations and the African Union are to meet in Paris on Saturday to further discuss the Libyan crisis.
"Tonight, I will travel to Paris where I will meet tomorrow, we hope, with Ban Ki-moon, certainly with Amr Moussa of the Arab League and Jean Ping of the African Union," Ashton told a news conference in Brussels.
She said French President Nicolas Sarkozy would host the meeting. Separate reports from London indicated that British Prime Minister David Cameron would also be in the French capital on the same day.
EU states are divided over the question of military action. While France and Britain sponsored the United Nations Security Council resolution that on Thursday authorized the no-fly zone, but EU heavyweight Germany abstained in the vote.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who will be meeting with multiple key officials while in Paris, said he planned to discuss "ways to move forward to protect the people of Libya" following the adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution 1973 on Thursday imposing a no-fly zone over Libya.
Ban hailed the adoption of the no-fly zone resolution as an "historic decision," authorizing UN members and organizations to take forceful actions to protect civilians against Muammar Gadhafi's military forces.
"Given the critical situation on the ground, I expect immediate action on the resolution's provisions," Ban said late Thursday after the council adopted with a 10-0 vote the no-fly zone resolution.
"I am prepared to carry out my responsibilities as mandated in the resolution, and will work closely with member states and regional organizations to coordinate a common, effective and timely response," he said.
The resolution asked countries and organizations that intend to implement the resolution to notify and coordinate their activities with Ban.

Mmmmmm….this was a winner. Elder son and I enjoyed some last night. The tea smells amazing when you open the bag. Is this really a tea, or a packaged tropical party waiting to happen? The visual appeal of the pineapple chunks and coconut flakes is superb. I wanted to eat them whole, but didn't want to lose out in my tea. So I was good and didn't num them right up before brewing a pot.
Sipping this tea really does take you to a beach somewhere. It reminded me of the endless pina coladas at caribean resorts, only lighter, and more refreshing ( and more appropriate in the middle of Canadian winter). For an enjoyable tisane, I'd drink ths any day! And with that, I ordered another four teas from Frank. I know I won't be disappointed.

Greetings from DC!
FNG here from DC... just got out of the (ch)Air Force, and have decided to pick up cycling. Haven't bought a bike yet, but I can feel the hole burning in my pocket. Looking in to a few different road bikes at the local shops, and looking to hit the road as soon as the damn weather figures out what season it is supposed to be.
Anywho, I'm looking forward to a good time here and will hopefully join up with a few local groups. I've heard Potomac Pedalers is a great organization. Cheers!
Welcome to Bike Forums. What bikes are you thinking about getting? Post a pic once you get the bike. :thumb:
Welcome to BF! With the DC historic sights, the East Coast Geenway Trail and the C&O Canalway Trail at hand and the Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway not too far away, you've got scenic riding options at hand that a lot of riders never get to see.
Welcome to this forum, hope you will like it as me

McCants out means KG goes
The Wolves trade with Boston could not have worked out better. R. Davis and Banks gave us the off the bounce players that you need in our new offence. Blount was our most consistant player. His reputation as bad rebounder and defender was proven wrong and his offense at center is twice what the Wolves have ever had. Justin Reed was a taller Trenton Hassle. The McCants pick was also a great move as he proved to be the scoring machine we hoped and a fine defender as well. These were the best moves McHale has ever made. Oh wait, McHale made these moves so of course they are blowing up in our faces. McCants has the kind of surgery that has ended many stars careers (Penny, Alan Houston) and now it seems that they will allow Banks to leave for nothing proving again McHales awesome grasp of point guard play in the NBA. Billups, Bobby Jackson, and Sam go and William Avery, T. Hudson and Jaric stay. Brilliant! Oh, and E Griffin is on the sauce again. It does explain his awful shooting last year. All that being said. It is time for KG to go. And take McHale with him. His trade value will never be higher and there are numerous teams that can assemble attractive packages. Chicago, the Clippers, GS, NJ, PHO, Indi, and Boston all can put together what we want. Next years draft is the best ever THE BEST EVER! BOOK IT! This is the perfect time to rebuild acquire a pick, and lose enough to assure that we retain our own pick next year. And If you want KG then you have to take Hudson. This gutless piece of garbage won't play because his ankle hurts and he won't have surgery because it hurts. Pansy! The only season where he has played 50 games for us is the one where, if he did, it guaranteed the final year of his ridiculous contract. What a puke! And nice pig tails you frilly little girl! Jaric can be a solid contributor even if he never lives up to the stupid contract McHale gifted him with. So here's the deal
Pippy long stockings(Hudson)-Just an albatross. If there are no takers then just release him.
Garnett- Trade value never higher. Built the franchise, he can do it again by leaving
Madsen- Only here to bodyguard soft KG. has to have the record for airballed free throws.
E. Griffin- Off court embarrassment waiting to happen.
Hassle- Love this guy but Justin Reed duplicates skills. Excellent trade value.
Jaric- kind of contract that can be traded for another dissapointment (D.Miles, Swift)
R. Davis- First off the bounce option in crunch time since Marbury. Balls!
M. Blount- Everyone so focused on his perceived flaws, they miss his strenghts. Great shooter.
J. Reed- Scrapper who will work to improve. Trenton Hassle Jr.
B. Wright- Cold blooded scorer deserves a chance to prove he can be more.
M. Banks- Typical McHale finds a good one and lets him walk for nothing. Will probably sign with LA while McHale signs Pippy to a seven year extension.
McHale- Even good moves turn to crap. Just go fishing and let big boys work.
G. Taylor- Knows nothing about basketball needs to sign the checks and just do what his basketball people tell him. (not McHale) KG is not the only reason people are fans of the Wolves. Don't sell out the future just to make him happy.

How to Text and Instant Message in Spanish: Slang Shortcuts
As I prepared recently to make a presentation about Latin America and the importance of learning Spanish to a bunch of beginning-level seventh- and eighth-grade students, I struggled to come up with topics that middle school kids could relate to. Suddenly, it dawned on me that a great way to keep their interest would be to talk about texting and instant messaging. I pulled together a list of some commonly used abbreviations used in Latin America and now — at the urging of several curious adult friends — am posting them here (needless to say, the kids loved it). Any more to share? Please let me know!
Pq or xq = ¿por qué? or porque
100pre = siempre
grax = gracias
NTP = No Te Preocupes (or sometimes, No Tengo Problema)
Vdd = verdad
Tb = también
Bno = bueno
Bb = bebe
Cam = cámara
je je je = LOL
KLK (only in the Dominican Republic, I believe) = ¿qué es lo que hay?
ps = pues
Q? = ¿Qué?
TQM or TKM = Te Quiero Mucho

Howdy. Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have been using USB loaders for quite a while now, and my current hard drive will never spin down when the Wii is turned off. Yes, I've disabled WiiConnect24 and the Wii's light turns red when turned off. But the little light on my Seagate GoFlex (USB 3.0 version) stays on. I can feel the drive continuing to vibrate slightly and it stays warm. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there other AC-powered hard drives that will consistently power on and off with the Wii? Or is it always better to use a USB-powered hard drive?

Letter on U.N. queries withdrawn: Colombo
The Sri Lankan government on Thursday announced that the letter sent by Secretary of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights Rajiva Wijesinghe in response to questions raised by U.N. Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Summary or Arbitrary Executions Phillip Alston, on charges made by the former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka against Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa about the sequence of events in the last phase of Eelam War IV (May 16 to 19), should be treated as withdrawn.
The letter and its withdrawal have embarrassed the Mahinda Rajapaksa government as the ruling combine and the opposition were building it up as an issue for the January 26 presidential election where the retired General is pitted against President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
In his letter Prof. Wijesinghe had argued that since the retired General Fonseka had distanced himself from the comments attributed to him in the December 13 interview to the English weekly Sunday Leader, the questions raised by the U.N. were irrelevant.
"The Secretary had written the letter without consulting the Foreign Office and other relevant authorities in the Government. The Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka to the United Nations Office at Geneva had been instructed to withhold the letter sent by the Secretary," a senior official in the Presidential Secretariat told The Hindu.
Indications are that the government does not want to do anything which could allow the former Army Chief portray himself in public as a "victim". Minister of Mass Media and Information Anura Priyadarshana Yapa told reporters at the weekly Cabinet briefing that the government would not take "political advantage" over the statement of General Fonseka.

FRANKFURT, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Daimler said on Tuesday it will broaden its production footprint for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans by moving some manufacturing to North America and by investing 450 million euros ($572 million) to modernise its German plants.
Mercedes-Benz Vans will invest 300 million euros to expand its Duesseldorf plant to modernise the body shop, the paint shop and the assembly line as well as pursuing an international production strategy.
Volker Mornhinweg head of Mercedes-Benz vans said, "We can cover the growing demand for large vans in the North American market economically only if we produce the vehicles locally in the NAFTA region. That's why we have decided to produce the next generation of the Sprinter in North America."
Mercedes-Benz Vans will make the new Sprinter at one of its plants in countries belonging to the North American Free Trade Agreement, which includes Mexico, the United States and Canada.
The exact location for future production has yet to be determined, the company said.
Currently most Sprinters destined for the U.S. market have been produced in kit form at plants in Duesseldorf and Ludwigsfelde, and then shipped to be reassembled in Charleston, South Carolina.
The United States is now the Sprinter's second-largest sales market after Germany. About 23,000 Sprinter vans were delivered to U.S. customers in 2013.

Report Cards are provided for all public, charter, and alternative schools operating during the 2014-15 school year. However, Report Cards for charter and alternative schools will vary slightly. Because charter schools are not part of a school district, only state comparisons are provided on their Report Cards. Additionally, quality teacher data are limited for charter schools due to the flexibility allowed in their operations. Federal schools, state-operated schools, and other special schools do not receive Report Cards due to differences in the way data are reported for these schools.
In most instances, data in the Report Cards are reported at the school, district, and state levels. School data are based on information from all grades within the school. However, for several indicators, including school size; school performance; school safety; attendance; and all information in the Quality Teachers' section, data from all schools in the same grade-range category are averaged to produce district and state comparison results. Based on their grade range, all schools have been assigned to one of six categories - elementary; middle; high; combined elementary, middle and high; combined elementary and middle; or combined middle and high.
