My mom has brain cancer and I am acting as her primary caregiver. I am really struggling with being both a good caregiver and a good (new) roommate. I try to keep open communication and understand why, when she seems to be feeling well, she can't participate in the simplest of household tasks - namely putting food away when she is done with it and closing doors (car, garage, etc) so the pets don't get out and the house isn't open to anybody who walks by. I don't mind doing her laundry, cleaning, really everything else, but I am getting irrationally angry when she plays solitaire for hours but can't put the milk back in the fridge, even when asked. Does anybody have any experience with a parent who is physically capable of helping, but doesn't have the attention span nor the desire to make life any easier? We also argue over things I feel like you'd fight with a child over, like why she needs to bathe everyday, why she shouldn't open mail and leave the wrappings all over the floor, etc. I'm trying to pick and choose the most extreme and safety needs, but I'm getting so frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

Being a caregiver is hard but one thing you must do is take care of yourself. I have been my husband's caregiver for almost 4 years and it does get frustrating. While he is not fighting brain cancer, that I know of, he is fighting laryngeal cancer, cancer at the cervical of his esophagus and right lung cancer. He declined further treatment this time last year and while I am happy he is still here and doing okay, I do frustrated because all he does is sit and feel sorry for himself and while he does do most things for himself, he doesn't take into consideration my feelings about anything or if I am sick, he doesn't care.
I know that a person with brain cancer has a change in personality. And I know how hard it is to care for a parent. My mother spent her last two years of life with us. While I was still working my husband took great care of her, but she didn't appreciate it one bit. Evenings and week-ends she expected me to wait on her hand and foot. While she didn't have cancer, she did have heart failure. She would doze most of the day and then be wide awake all night and expect me to keep her company. Something I couldn't do as I had to get up and go to work.
I am sure your mother is depressed as most cancer patients are. Maybe you could talk with her doctors and get her something for depression. But the main thing is that you have to take care of yourself. Be sure you make time for yourself. There are support groups for caregivers and don't fret the small things.

Have you tried setting up a structure everyday and stick to it? Sometimes routine is better remembered.

My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 endometrial cancer 2013. She has had extensive surgery, chemotherapy. She responded well to the treatment. And then after the 9th round of chemotherapy. The cancer resurfaced with some mets. She is strangely very well.
Initially I left my training program to be with her for the sugery for 7weeks. Then my dad took care of her. And currently I left it again for an extended period to be with her. I have been with her for 5weeks now . I have 15months to get my qualification, but it seems that my mother does not want me to finish it. I understand that she wants me around. And it is difficult since I live in another country- 8hours flights away. When I am away I email, skype and whats app.
I explained to her the inconvenience and repercussions of extended leave and the hassles to get back into the swing of the program. But she gets all cryey and whiney and 'I thought you were staying until I die'.
My fiancee and I have been away from each other for both these lengthy periods which is also difficult.
My sister works and helps when she can. My father was with her when I couldn't be. And he will be with her again in one week. She can also afford caregivers.
I am torn as what I should do.
I read on other discussion forums how mothers wanted their children to go ahead and live life and continue with their goals. And they seemed to be quite understanding. I cannot understand how my mother wants me to give up everything to be with her for an indefinite period of time. My job, training, relationship.
For the last 5 weeks, I have been waiting on her hand and foot. And she appreciates it. It has been difficult as she needs assistance at night every 2 hours to reposition/use the potty. So not getting to sleep at night and then taking care of her during the day (washing, cooking,etc) has been difficult.
She is young 59. Currently she is recovering from the pleurodesis so things are difficult and can get painful when she moves. So she needs assitance with activities of daily living. But she is mobile. She also has a stoma.
Can anyone help me, advice etc. Are there any moms that can shed some light on this please?
Thank you

This is a decision you have to make. When my mother lived with us the last 2 years of her life, my husband took care of her because I was still working. She wanted me to quit my job and stay home with her. But I told her I couldn't afford to do that, then she said she would pay me, but again couldn't do that because for one thing I needed my health insurance. The last month of her life I did take family leave but then again we knew the end was very, very close.
Now I am dealing with my husband having terminal cancer. Thankfully I am retired now. We have grown children but they aren't able to really help because they work and I don't expect them to be here constantly. Their jobs are important for them and their families and I understand that. But I also know if I need them, they will be here.
Just tell your mother that you will be back when needed but you have to finish your training. This is your future. Your father is with her and if he needs additional help, they can hire someone to come in and help. Don't let her lay a quilt trip on you, and yes mothers are good for doing that. Voice of experience speaking. But once again it is a decision that only you can make and then again not feel quilty about what you decide to do. Talk with your father and sister about this too, but in the end it is your decision.
Wishing you peace and comfort

Thank you for your advice. You hit the nail on the head when you spoke of guilt. Because that is exactly it! Strange enough though my sister seems to be carrying on with her life as usual.
Thank you for your wisdom. It has helped to make things clearer to me.
Thanks again.
God bless.

Must Stay at Home
It was definitely learned this morn

of this month. Word to this effect
was brought by the general's daugh

A few weeks ago General Murray
stated in a personal letter to a friend
In this city that he was "merely wait

again," and the inference from the
text of the rest of the letter was that
the coming maneuvers might be, the
opportunity he was. waiting for. It
now develops that the division com

trip, but was unable to arrange his
plans at the last moment Depart

The . pall of an extraordinary session
of Congress next spring for tariff re
vision has been thrown over business
interests by the recentv utterances of
President Taft. His broad hints In
that direction indicate that 'Congress
will be .convened immediately after
the regular short session of this win
ter, no matter who. Is chosen presi
dent' .i . .
It was taken as a matter of course
that' in-the event of Mr. Wilson's suc
cess there would be the extraordinary
session. However it was expected
that if Mr. Taft .were retained as chief
executive the Republicans would -leave
well enough - alone - and permit com
mercial enterprises to have approxi
mately a year's rest from rumors of
ruinous reductions in protective du
ties. - ' 1 ; ' - ". '
President Taft has promised a revi
sion of the tariff if the Republicans
succeed In . the November elections .
The reason assigned is that' duties
should be adjusted on a scientific
basis to prevent prices for. the neces
saries of life irom becoming too ex
orbitant He hinted that the work of
the tariff board would be resumed
and all modifications of schedules
based on the conclusions of that body.
At the same time the president de.
iclared that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act had nothing more to do with the

"Pop" is a game I first wrote in Excel 97 ages ago and that I seem to keep re-writing. This iteration is written in jQuery / HTML / CSS and is moderately complete and wholly encapsulated within a single file - just download the HTML and it can play, although it does need net access to get to jQuery.
Pop is effectively a board game where players take turns to increase the value of a cell they own, when cells reach a certain value they "pop" and capture those around them, potentially causing a chain reaction. The winner is the last player standing.

Hi. I have a Kenmore 158.18033. I just brought home from a consignment shop. It was a bit dirty, but cleaned up nice and had all the bells and whistles for attachments, cams, monograms, button holers, etc. I was hoping to use it as my permanent button-holer machine. (and the attachments on my other 158 models.) Here is the issue: The power to the machine works. I can see things moving under the carriage but the needle doesn't raise and lower unless the hand wheel is turned by hand. I removed the hand wheel and side panel to see what was going on as I thought there was a belt broken, perhaps. THe 2verticle tractor-like treaded belts are intact. The lower one moves readily but the upper one is less reliable when pressing on the foot pedal.
Even when it does get cranking around it does not turn the horizontal bar that goes to the needle bar, to raise and lower the needle. Anyone have an idea as to what may be the fix for this dilemma? Is the changing of the upper belt something I should be able to handle myself, if that is the fix? Thanks for your input! Cheers, Cathy vJ in MA

Davell Crawford "Legends Series" with Special Guest Irma Thomas
Davell Crawford, Irma Thomas
Little Gem Saloon
445 S. Rampart St
New Orleans, LA, 70112
The genius of Davell Crawford arises from his ability to play and sing the music of his passion—the music of his life. The New Orleans keyboardist, vocalist, composer and arranger soaked up the surrounding rhythms and harmonies that were his deep musical roots and nurtured his natural talent.
Acclaimed as the "Piano Prince of New Orleans," Crawford brings equal exuberance to both modern and classic jazz, rhythm and blues, funk, blues, gospel, soul, pop, American folk and touches of country-western.
Growing up in New Orleans and presently residing there and in New York City plus spending many youthful days in Southwest Louisiana, Crawford's influences run the gamut from Fats Domino to Sarah Vaughan, to Patsy Cline and even Liberace. In the tradition of those from the Crescent City who came before him, Crawford also believes in the art of entertainment. He'll get up from the piano, move to the apron of a stage, prance, joke and make folks feel at home.
As a child, Crawford attended both Baptist and the Catholic churches. He watched the pipe organist so attentively that when he first sat in front of the impressive instrument he already knew the function of the stops and pedals. The organ at his church was the first he ever played and throughout his life he's continued to man the organ in both church and club settings.
The prowess he developed is best exemplified on his 1998 Rounder Records release, the swinging, soulful and funky, The B-3 & Me. Tellingly, it includes two Ray Charles hits: "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Hallelujah I Just Love Her So." At age seven, Crawford, who has often been compared to the great Ray Charles, made his first public appearance playing his favorite tunes from the master on a piano outside of New Orleans' famous coffee stand, Café du Monde. Backed by quintets, big bands and on occasion orchestras, he's also paid tribute to Charles at several outstanding shows around the world. His 2005 tribute to Ray Charles when he assembled some of New Orleans' finest players to form the Davell Crawford Orchestra, has been noted as "One of The Best Concerts Ever".
At just 10 years old, Crawford made an impression on the New Orleans gospel community by taking on the position of accompanist to the St. Peter Claver Catholic Church choir. By the time he was 11, his talents were utilized by the St. Joseph Baptist Church where he became the youth choir director, pianist and organist to the sanctuary and men's choruses. Since then Davell has traveled the world conducting choral workshops and making appearances in gospel music. Throughout his career he's also lead a host of award winning gospel ensembles. He chose the 'creme de la cream' of New Orleans gospel vocalists to form The Davell Crawford Singers, whose members are spread from the East to West coasts, while the core members remain in New Orleans. They continue to reunite today and are heard on his latest, gripping CD, My Gift To You, his first on the Basin Street Records label.
Gospel is at the heart of everything that Crawford does. Davell is the godson of the iconic Roberta Flack and the grandson of the great vocalist/pianist/composer James "Sugar Boy" Crawford of "Jock-A-Mo" fame giving reason for the honesty, passion, and ample rhythm and blues that also fills his soul. Crawford can—and has—thrown down all night R&B concerts and parties jumpin' with tunes from the likes of pianists Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, James Booker and Huey "Piano" Smith. Crawford is definitely in that number as he carries the New Orleans piano legacy along with the complete American Roots legacy.
A softer, quieter side of Davell Crawford is revealed when, as heard on his 1999 release, Love Like Yours and Mine, he slips comfortably into his jazz mode on such classics as "Fly Me to the Moon." His tenderness and informed jazz sensibilities shine with every note when Crawford approaches the standards. Often, he'll be in a trio or quartet setting behind the grand piano or standing at center stage with only the microphone and the trio backing him for an evening of classic or modern jazz.
Then again, he might don a silly wig and an eye patch in honor of the late great James Booker and take the house down by emanating his fellow pianist's eclectic, frequently elegant panache. Crawford is also fully versed in the traditional jazz songbook of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. A fact that will be confirmed if you are lucky enough to experience a performance by Davell Crawford and His Creole Jazz Men of New Orleans. He's also been known to make special rare appearances at the music's landmark, Preservation Hall.
With his immense talent and experience, the pianist and vocalist could have chosen his next release to be in any number of genres. On his latest, meticulously produced album, My Gift To You, Crawford remarkably embraces the full spectrum of his interests and influences as he reaches into his rich bag of resources and natural abilities. On the disc, just as he has throughout the world during his decades-long career, Crawford celebrates his musical roots and becomes their ambassador. As the Prince of New Orleans joyfully expresses on the opening track of My Gift To You: "I am the Creole man, I come from foreign lands to spread the news..." He also expresses, just as momentously, on the closing track, "Louisiana, I love you for all you've given to me, I promise never forget you as I travel o've the stormy sea."
Irma Thomas
The unrivaled Soul Queen of New Orleans -- a title officially bestowed by local officials, no less -- Irma Thomas ranks among Crescent City R&B's greatest and most enduring musical ambassadors, never enjoying the coast-to-coast commercial success of contemporaries like Aretha Franklin and Etta James but nevertheless breathing the same rarified air in the minds of many soul music aficionados. Born Irma Lee in Ponchatoula, LA, on February 18, 1941, as a teen she sang with a Baptist church choir, even auditioning for Specialty Records as a 13-year-old. A year later, she gave birth to her first child, marrying the baby's father and subsequently giving birth to another child before the union dissolved. At 17 she wed again, this time to one Andrew Thomas, having two more babies before she again divorced, all before the age of 20. Keeping her second ex-husband's surname, Thomas went to work as a waitress at New Orleans' Pimlico Club, occasionally sitting in with bandleader Tommy Ridgley. When the club's owner dismissed her for spending more time singing than waiting tables, Ridgley agreed to help her land a record deal, setting up auditions with the local Minit and Ronn labels. The latter issued her saucy debut single, "You Can Have My Husband (But Don't Mess with My Man)," in the spring of 1960, and the record quickly reached the number 22 spot on the Billboard R&B chart. However, Thomas accused Ronn of withholding royalties and after one more effort for the label, "A Good Man," she briefly landed with the Bandy label, releasing 1961's "Look Up" before relocating to Minit.
Thomas' first Minit release, "Girl Needs Boy," inaugurated a collaboration with songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint that would continue throughout her tenure with the label; although none of her six Minit singles were significant hits, each was brilliant, in particular 1962's "It's Raining" (memorably revived by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch for his cult classic Down by Law) and the following year's "Ruler of My Heart," reworked by Otis Redding as "Pain in My Heart." Imperial Records acquired Minit in 1963, and Thomas' contract was included in the deal. Her first single for the label, the starkly intimate "Wish Someone Would Care," capitalized on Imperial's deep pockets to vault into the Billboard pop Top 20, while its Jackie DeShannon/Sharon Sheeley-penned B-side, "Break-a-Way," proved a massive hit on New Orleans radio, later accumulating cover versions by singers from Beryl Marsden to Tracey Ullman. The follow-up, "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)," was even better, a magnificent ballad featuring one of Thomas' most finely wrought vocals, but was not a hit. Likewise, its Jerry Ragovoy-penned B-side, "Time Is on My Side," had its fans, not the least of them the Rolling Stones, who scored a massive hit with a virtual note-for-note cover version. Thomas closed out 1964 with a pair of minor chart entries, "Times Have Changed" and "He's My Guy," both of them written by Van McCoy; for subsequent efforts including "I'm Gonna Cry Till My Tears Run Dry" and "The Hurt's All Gone," she even traveled to New York City to record with hitmaker Ragovoy, but despite the pedigrees of those involved, her commercial momentum dissipated, and following the chart failure of 1966's James Brown-produced "It's a Man's-Woman's World," Imperial terminated her contract.
Safe with MeThomas next signed with Chess Records, traveling to Rick Hall's legendary Muscle Shoals studio Fame to cut 1967's "Cheater Man." Neither that record nor its follow-up, "A Woman Will Do Wrong Charted," had much success, but her third Chess single, a reading of Redding's "Good to Me," was a minor R&B chart entry in 1968. It was not enough to extend Thomas' relationship with Chess, however, and she spent the next several years outside the studio. In the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Camille, she relocated her family to Oakland, CA, in 1969, later settling in Los Angeles. During this time Thomas supported her children by working at retailer Montgomery Ward, resurfacing on record with 1971's Cotillion label release "Full Time Woman." Later that year, she also issued "Save a Little Bit" on the tiny Canyon label, followed in 1972 by "I'd Do It All for You." Thomas returned in 1973 with "These Four Walls" on Roker, followed by three singles on the horribly named Fungus label: "You're the Dog (I Do the Barking Myself)," "In Between Tears," and "Coming from Behind." She relocated back to New Orleans in 1976, a year later issuing "Hittin' on Nothin'" and a re-recorded "Breakaway" on Maison de Soul; in 1980, Thomas surfaced on the RCS label with Safe with Me, an ill-conceived LP that sought to update her sound to approximate disco-era R&B. It was the last record she would make for six years.
The New Rules In the interim, Thomas accelerated her live schedule. With husband/manager Emile Jackson, she opened the Lion's Den, a New Orleans club where she regularly headlined, and she also toured Europe, where her records still merited regular airplay. In 1985, she was approached by Rounder Records producer Scott Billington to make a comeback record. The New Rules appeared the following year, earning solid reviews and selling respectably. The Way I Feel hit stores in 1988, and with 1991's Live! Simply the Best, Thomas earned her first-ever Grammy nomination. The following year she issued True Believer, and in 1993 released her first gospel effort, Walk Around Heaven. She waited until 1997 to release her next secular record, The Story of My Life, blaming the delay in interviews on her difficulty in finding material appropriate to her age and sensibility. Thomas shifted gears radically for 1998's Sing It!, which paired her with devout fans Marcia Ball and Tracy Nelson; two years later saw the release of My Heart's in Memphis: The Songs of Dan Penn, with Thomas tackling both Penn classics ("I'm Your Puppet," "Woman Left Lonely") and original compositions. After the Rain, released in 2006, was nominated for a Best Contemporary Blues Album Grammy. Simply Grand was issued on Rounder Records in 2008, and featured Thomas in an acoustic setting accompanied by a host of piano players, including Dr. John, Ellis Marsalis, Randy Newman, and others.

Check your server log to see reason why it denies you to login. Maybe root is allowed to login only using interactive terminal (Putty) and not with non-interactive session (WinSCP). This rule generally applies to 'su' command, so it may apply even to normal login in you case.

I could not determine this from the messages log, it says only that the connection was refused.
I was able to get in as user with WinSCP, transfer files to home directory, then in Putty as root, copy them to the right place.
Tried generating ssh2 keys per putty help, no success.

Two projects of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will receive nearly $540,000 of federal funding as part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's annual Competitive State Wildlife Grant program.
One grant will allow IFW, along with partners New Hampshire and Massachusetts, to work on filling knowledge gaps on the basic ecology, distribution and abundance of 27 species of greatest conservation need along the coastal marine ecosystem.
IFW and its partners will identify areas of exceptional species diversity. Researchers will then develop habitat models and maps that can help predict other areas with similar habitat features.
Due to wind potential, Maine's coast has drawn the interest of offshore energy developers, meaning this data can help minimize the effects of turbines.
The second SWG-funded project will enable IFW to update the Maine Wildlife Action Plan.

'There are no words' Liberty Ross on Rupert Sanders' affair with Kirsten Stewart
LIBERTY ROSS has opened up about the moment she found out her husband, Rupert Sanders, was having an affair with Kristen Stewart.
Speaking for the first time since the news broke in June last year, the former model opened up about the heartbreak she went through and why she is finally able to move on.
"It was horrible. I have no words to describe what we went through," she told Vanity Fair in the exclusive interview.
"But I think for me, something always has to completely die for there to be a rebirth. And, for me, I feel like I'm going through a rebirth."
The 35-year-old star - who went into hiding after ending her 16-year marriage to the film director - also described how visualising herself as a Maasai warrior helped her survive the media uproar after the story broke.
"I just visualised bring this sort of Maasai warrior. I was just going to stand very still and very strong and just let it roll past me," she said.
"I tried to keep as far away from it as I could and to understand that this is my family and it's the most precious thing to me."
"I just visualised bring this sort of Maasai warrior. I was just going to stand very still and very strong and just let it roll past me"
However, despite trying her hardest to make things work, the mother-of-two filed for divorce a couple of months later - but the decision didn't come easy.
"I'm not a quitter. I've done everything I could to be the perfect wife and mother and really support my husband. But I didn't have any more to give, you know?"
"It's very strange for me because my parents have been together for 50 years, so [divorce] is something I never, ever thought I would do," she added.
She also revealed that Sanders - who is the father to her two children - had admitted to his affair a mere 20 hours before the pictures of him and Kristen went viral after appearing in US Weekly.
"It really was the worst, really the worst," she revealed after confessing that she had left her life in Britain when she was pregnant with her first child so that Rupert could live out his dream.
"I really felt like I wanted him to have his time to shine," she said.
And when Sanders landed Snow White and the Huntsman, she added: "It was all we'd come here for, and we'd done it.
"We were driving around town and seeing these billboards of his movie. We were so excited, like, 'Wow, how did we do that?' I was so proud of him, what he'd done—what we'd done. We were a team, and the movie was made out of love."
However, she also went on to reveal that even before the affair, she felt like something was wrong with their relationship.
"I knew that I wasn't feeling 100 percent right, I found myself on a roller coaster, I'm going to keep up this amazing (facade) everyone looking at me and Rupert and thinking 'oh wow, you guys have it all.'
"I had times when I was very lonely, very disconnected from Rupert."
Since news of the affair broke - where Sanders issued a public apology revealing that he was "utterly distraught at the pain he caused his family" - Liberty filed for divorce, while Kristen's boyfriend Robert Pattinson called things off with her.
And the model-turned actress is now believed to being seeing music mogul Jimmy Lovine, who she was introduced to by her brother Atticus.

CFSAN expands nutrition team
appointed a new member to the senior management team to respond
faster to the issues of nutrition, obesity and dietary supplements.
The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) has appointed a new member to the senior management team to respond faster to the issues of nutrition, obesity and dietary supplements.
Alan Rulis, currently director of the Office of Food Additive Safety (OFAS) takes up the newly created post of Senior Advisor for Applied Nutrition until a permanent member is found.
"Our emphasis here needs to be on strong science and on providing better information to consumers," said Joseph Levitt, the director of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
Dr Rulis will focus on the Commissioner's Consumer Health Information for Better Nutrition initiative with Dr Christine Taylor, in charge of the Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements (ONPLDS) and Dr Elizabeth Yetley, CFSAN's lead scientist for Nutrition.
Dr Laura Tarantino, deputy director of OFAS, will be the acting director during Rulis' absence. Levitt also appointed Dr Robert Brackett, director of Food Safety, as the new food security/counter-terrorism focal point for the Center. The changes became effective June 2, 2003.
"I believe these changes will increase our responsiveness to these priorities, and that they will improve our internal efficiency as well," said Levitt.

Still another issue....now the convertible top will not go up or down all the top. Half the time it will work and the other times it will not. It takes me many tries to get it up all the way. It is motorized.....each time I bring it to CarMax they will tell me it works just fine....when I leave and go back to home it will not work. I have to film this now or they will not fix it. I brought it to them 3 times and it worked on their lot yet it will not work at my home..if it is unpredictible then to me it does not work. There is a programming issue. It is not reliable. I am afraid it will end up half opened and half closed mid air and I will not even be able to drive it there....

Anyway i was looking at a 06 325i with 70k asking price was $17,000 the salesman told me that it was a great price for a bimmer i don't think so i found one at the BMW Dealer same year and model with 69k for $12,000. After test driving the car i noticed it had all of the same issues that my 325i had when i bought it RED FLAG.
The other thing is Carmax would not finance me which to me is wrong because All of my payments are made one week in advance and another thing everytime i go into to make a payment it seems that there is Always an Angry customer there waiting to pick up their new car from the service dept that they just bought.

CARMAX Austin CarMax Warranty Company $ 3500.00 Will Fight and Fight before they want to pay........takes them months and months to finally pay Austin Texas
AUTHOR: wrepich - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 15, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, October 15, 2013
When you car buy a used car at CarMax they do not inspect the vehicle, they buy from auctions that are flooded, damaged cars...they do not do an inspection before they put the car out on the lot like they say they do--when you buy the car and drive it one week you have to bring it in for repair work--the warranty company that you purchase on the vehicle will fight you tooth and nail to pay for what they are supposed to pay for. I paid 3500.00 for the warranty and got a pamplet of what all is covered. They fought me so long on each thing they were supposed to pay for that CarMax ended up keeping my vehicle for 4 months....they fought all new engine parts needed that needed replacing, they fought to pay for all mechancal issues regarding my convertible top--they take so long to approve something you end up paying for a rental car forever and pay double toll fees forever until they will finally pay. They will not pay for what they are obligated to pay for until you fight and fight them- They have had my car one full season and 4 car payments later finally the warranty company is paying for what they were supposed to pay for in the first place-by the way they will only pay for 7 days of a rental car while your car is in the shop---what the biggest issue is that you must get a warranty on all CarMax cars because it breaks down right when you drive it off the lot --they say they do a 127 point inspection-this is what I have replaced crank case vent, fuel pressure sensor, intake hose, new pumps for the windshield washer so it will work, control panel labor because the air conditioner was blowing cold on driver and hot on passenger, new antenea because it blew off car and the radio would not work-----car max also spray painted my seats to look like brand new leather seats--paint comes off on clothes for next few months--when you bring it back to file fraud charges on them ---all they do is spray paint the seats again rather than replacing the seats.....to actual new leather seats--purchased the car for 26k yet value is 14k

Unfortunately, as of Saturday, Bailey's been banished from the bed when I'm in it. She's on puppy Prozac now, and I have to train her to be more "independent." On Saturday, I worked on a Habitat house for a few hours, and came home to ... well, a carpet that makes a feedlot in Greeley, Colorado seem mild by comparison. It was BAD ... and I just spent $250 a week earlier to have the carpets cleaned. She left "gifts" in several rooms, and also was thoughtful enough to employ the carpet in the same manner that humans employ Charmin.BKM wrote:
Hey, Dan. Try to sleep wedged between two dogs. And, I wonder why I wake up with a sore back some mornings.
She's left me too many "gifts" lately, and in recent days it's increased. The vet says it's separation anxiety. Some dogs bark and howl. Some eat furniture. Mine adds biomass to berber. Thus, meds for Bailey!

Project Zomboid - The SHAZAM! Report
by Couchpotato, 2013-07-22 00:07:02
Project Zomboid has another developer update on the games webpage.
Good morning Zomboidateers. Today is an exciting day for the Indie Stone gang as Will, Mash, Chris and Andy have congregated deep in the industrial heart of North East England for the Super Huggy Awesome Zomboid Annual Meeting! (SHAZAM!). This is the point at which we actually get to see the pained expressions of our co-workers while we speak, rather than guess at them over Skype.
We're chinwagging about both business-y and gameplay-y stuff, so we thought it might be a good opportunity for us each to individually have a Mondoid chat about what we're up to in the background – as well as beavering away on the next actual update.

DUP wrong to attack Lo's flag plea
Yet again an event which should be the jewel in our tourism crown this year is bedevilled by negative politics and vitriolic street level abuse. The Giro d'Italia cycle race is one of the great sporting events in Europe and it is a huge coup to bring a leg of it to Northern Ireland. It should bring in thousands of tourists and cycling fans who love the colour, the excitement and the sheer novelty of the event.
But instead of unbridled celebration at the biggest sporting event ever to be staged here, there is nothing but discord. Alliance MLA Anna Lo made the entirely sensible suggestion that territorial flags, sectarian murals and election posters should be removed from the route of the race. There is nothing patriotic about flying tattered flags from lampposts or painting pictures of hooded gunmen on gable walls and certainly those images would do nothing to enhance the reputation of Northern Ireland to the millions watching the event on television around Europe.
For this is not just about a sporting event. It is an opportunity to sell Northern Ireland positively to a captive audience, just as the G8 conference was a huge plus point for the province. Remember the routes around Enniskillen were cleaned-up for the arrival of world leaders. But Ms Lo received a barrage of abuse for her suggestion, some of it racial.
Perhaps that is to be expected from the trolls who regularly vent their spleen online.
But for senior members of the DUP to also attack her suggestion sets entirely the wrong tone. The Alliance MLA's suggestion was to call for a common sense approach. She wasn't advocating some sort of security sweep to remove treasured symbols.
The DUP's intervention now makes it seem like a trial of strength. Instead, politicians on all sides should be encouraging their communities to clean up their own streets, take pride in the appearance of where they live and promote a positive image of Northern Ireland.
Is that really too much to ask when the benefits are so apparent?

The Tulsa Race Riot, which began on May 31, 1921, is a chapter of our city's history about which many people, including a lot of native Tulsans, know very little, despite the fact that it resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people and the destruction of an entire section of town. The library, through our African American Resource Center (or AARC), has compiled a list of resources about the event and the conditions that caused it. These items include a number of books, periodicals and electronic media, as well as educator kits and links to other local agencies.
D2: Diversity & Dialogue is an annual event hosted by the Diversity Crew which focuses on current diversity-issues. The event always includes an expert on the chosen subject followed by attendee discussion. The 2013 D2 event is called Moving Beyond the Tulsa Race Riots.
The City of Tulsa is working with the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to complete a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the 1921 Race Riot, including the historic Greenwood business district.

Scenario Analysis
Exploring Different Futures
Imagine that you're facing a really significant decision, which could fundamentally affect your personal life, or could determine the future of your business. Maybe you're thinking about "stretching your finances" to buy a bigger house. Or maybe you're thinking of launching a new product which you know could "cannibalize" existing sales.
Perhaps you've done the numbers, and these seem OK. But deep down, you dread what could go wrong. After all, no one has a foolproof vision of the future, and while you may have strong instincts as to how things may develop, any single projection of the future is clearly vulnerable to disruption by a range of different factors.
Scenario Analysis helps you bring these fears into the open and gives you a rational and professional framework for exploring them.
Using it, you can make decisions in the context of the different futures that may come to pass. The act of creating scenarios forces you to challenge your assumptions about the future. By shaping your plans and decisions based on the most likely scenarios, you can ensure that your decisions are sound even if circumstances change.
How to Use the Tool
In Scenario Analysis, the scenarios are stories about the way the world might turn out if certain trends continue and if certain conditions are met.
We offer a simple five-phase Scenario Analysis process, as follows:
1. Define the Problem
First, decide what you want to achieve, and think about the time horizon you want to look at. This will be driven by the scale of the plans and scenarios that you want to test.
Barry was starting to plan a new business that focused on helping corporate clients implement a popular financial management software package. He wanted the business to grow to a reasonable size over the next five years. With this in mind, he decided to use scenario thinking to look at what the future might hold over this period.
2. Gather Data
Next, identify the key factors, trends, and uncertainties that may affect the plan. If your plan is a large-scale one, you may find it helpful to do a PEST Analysis of the context in which it will be implemented to identify political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological factors that could impact it. Then, identify the key assumptions on which the plan depends.
Amongst others, Barry identified the following factors as important:
- The state of the economy (people don't buy much new software in a recession).
- The ongoing importance of new software in increasing clients' productivity.
- Whether the software package would maintain its market position.
- Whether he could recruit enough skilled implementation consultants.
3. Separate Certainties From Uncertainties
You may be confident in some of your assumptions, and you may be sure that certain trends will work through in a particular way. After challenging them appropriately, adopt these trends as your "certainties." Separate these from the "uncertainties" – trends that may or may not be important, and underlying factors that may or may not change. List these uncertainties in priority order, with the largest, most significant uncertainties at the top of the list.
Based on analysis of recent vacancy rates, Barry was confident that, provided he paid attention to recruitment, he could find a sufficient number of new employees. And seeing the new technologies shortly to be deployed by the software vendor, he was confident that clients would reap considerable efficiency gains by implementing the next versions of the software.
He was anxious, however, that a global software giant might enter the market and displace the current vendor. Furthermore, he'd seen plenty of implementation companies go bust in the previous recession.
4. Develop Scenarios
Now, starting with your top uncertainty, take a moderately good outcome and a moderately bad outcome, and develop a story of the future around each that fuses your certainties with the outcome you've chosen.
Then, do the same for your second most serious uncertainty.
Don't do too many scenarios in this step, or you may find yourself quickly hitting "diminishing returns."
Barry decided to prepare the following scenarios:
- "All's going well": The economy grows steadily over the five-year period with only minor slowdowns, and he's "backed the right horse." The software vendor consolidates itself in the market and moves into a position of market leadership.
- "Economic slowdown": Toward the end of the period, a commodity price shock pushes the economy into mild recession. While some new software implementations do go ahead, many clients decide to defer implementation until things pick up.
- "Intensifying competition": The global giant enters the market. While it takes time to get its products established, toward the end of the period, it is starting to squeeze the current supplier.
5. Use the Scenarios in Your Planning
You can now use the scenarios you came up with in your planning.
Having looked at the scenarios, Barry's aware that there's some risk to the business in the medium term.
In his business planning, he decides to gear the business to use a mix of full-time staff and short-term contractors so he can scale his business quickly, depending on the circumstances.
And he notes that he's going to have to monitor the activities of software companies entering the market so he can cross-train personnel if a new entrant starts to threaten the existing supplier.
Tip 1:
In identifying trends, be careful to base your assessment on evidence rather than supposition. And make sure that trends are built on secure foundations.
Also, remember that trends tend to be damped down by other factors. No revolution is instantaneous.
Tip 2:
Peter Schwartz, one of the fathers of scenario thinking, mentions the following as plots of common scenarios:
- Evolution: All trends continue as expected. Things gently move toward a predictable end point.
- Revolution: A new factor fundamentally changes the situation.
- Cycles: What goes around comes around. Boom follows bust follows boom follows bust.
- Infinite Expansion: Exciting trends continue. Think of the computer industry in the 1950s.
- Lone Ranger: The triumph of the lone hero against the forces of inertia.
- My Generation: Changes in culture and demographics affect the situation.
Key Points
Scenario Analysis is a useful way of challenging the assumptions you naturally tend to make about the situation in which your plans will come to fruition.
By building a few alternative scenarios, you can foresee more unknowns that may come to pass, and therefore you will be able to plan measures to counteract or mitigate their impact.

Over a month agoHi all,
In this week's Featured Favorite resource, learn how to use Scenario Analysis to explore different futures so that you can prepare for them effectively.
Best wishes,
Over a month agoHi Ibrahim,
Welcome to the Forums and thanks for sharing your thoughts about scenario analysis. You are so right in that it is NOT a prediction of the future it simply plays out a few options of possibilities.
I do believe that once you have thought of these possibilities and ways that you might address it, you are then better prepared for whatever does happen. Although you might not have thought about how to deal with a specific situation that arises, just by the mere fact you have thought up some alternatives, you will more easily come up with ideas to deal with what is presented.
Hope to see you around the forums some with more thoughts and ideas, or questions of your own. If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know.
Over a month agoHi All,
I totally agree with Rachel, and I add that doing scenario analysis will help you gain a very important skill: think of the unthinkable.
Scenario Analysis will help you realise the 'dots in the horizon' and make you more prepared for 'uncertainties and unknowns', if and when they become certainties and known. Just go ahead and do it with a group of friends or work colleagues and you will be surprised with the ideas, interactions and conflicts that will arise.
What you need to know is that scenario analysis is NOT a prediction of the future. Also, keep in mind that the scenarios you develop will not happen in full as you planned - what you thought will happen if the economy booms may not be as you thought because of other unknowns.
The objective of scenario analysis is to be prepared and have an open mind to always look "outside of the box". Why? As Louis Pasteur said "Luck favors the prepared mind". So, be prepared and you will certainly be more lucky....
I can talk more about this subject. I recently completed the Scenario Planning course (MBA course with the University of Strathclyde) as a Local Counsellor (tutor) for the University's campus in Abu Dhabi. The taught process is very similar to the process outlined in the article, with a bit of more structure around it to help develop plausible future scenarios. If you want to know more, just drop me a line...

George Michael's stage presence has run the gamut from hopping around in white booty shorts to TKwhipping himself into leather jackets and earrings. Like the rest of the 1980s, these images belong hidden away safely with lock and key, and thankfully, that's exactly what he plans to do after one more tour, of course.
On the heels of an 80-show European tour, the UK singer embarks on US appearances this summer, in support of his new album, Twenty-Five due April 1. Uninspired by recent emerging music trends such as illegal downloading and American Idol, Michael sees this as a "rounding off" of his career at this point. "It's the end of a certain era, and I'm not sure how much I really want to be a part of what's next. So, it's a kind of a way of saying thank you to everybody before I move on."
Unfortunately, the singer says he has become "too old" to perform classics like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "I Want Your Sex." Darn. But fear not, Michael fans. He still promises "Careless Whisper" though he admits hating the song. After the tour, the singer won't give up music entirely just yet, promising to become "the Tony Bennett for my generation." Great. Nothing to make me feel old as sin as a major childhood music figure getting a residency in Vegas.

Traffic stop results in multiple charges
A traffic stop in Tamaqua on Dec. 27 resulted in the arrest of James Neff, 30, of 231 E. Abbott St., Lansford.
Neff was a passenger in a car that was stopped at 12:50 a.m. for a traffic violation. Neff initially told the officer he was Jeffrey Neff and he lived in the area of the Pine Street Pub. When the officer ran a routine records check there was no record found on a Jeffrey Neff. The driver was issued a warning for the traffic violation and released.
Within minutes the Schuylkill County Communications contacted Patrolman Joseph Krebs with information on a James Neff, who was wanted on a warrant issued out of Carbon County. The description given, complete with information about several tattoos on Neff, matched the man who claimed to be Jeffrey.
Krebs went to the area of 400 Pine St. and found Neff exiting a vehicle. When the officer asked to see any tattoos, Neff initially said he didn't have any. When the officer persisted, he noticed a tattoo on Neff's neck and one on his calf, both matching the description given by SCC. Neff then ran but was captured on Elm Street.
A pat down search found eight wax paper bags with brown powder inside, a cut orange straw with white powder inside and a clear plastic bag with green vegetable matter. Field tests were conducted and tested positive for heroin (brown powder) and cocaine (white powder).
Neff was charged with resisting arrest, providing false identification to law enforcement, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Corsair Launches Force LS Line Of Budget SSDs
Subject: Storage | August 22, 2013 - 01:11 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: corsair, force ls, ssd, phison, toshiba mlc
Corsair has launched a new line of budget solid state drives (SSDs) under the Force LS branding. The new SSDs come in up to 240GB capacities, and despite being budget drives, still manage to max out the SATA III 6Gbps interface.
The new Force LS SSDs use 19nm Toshiba MLC NAND flash and a Phison SSD controller. Traditionally, Corsair has used LSI SandForce controllers in its Force and Force GT solid state drives. The Force LS line includes 60GB, 120GB, and 240GB SSDs. The drives are 7mm thick 2.5" form factor drives.
As far as performance, the drives support sequential write speeds of 535 MB/s and sequential read speeds of 555 MB/s. Information on IOPS have not been released, but expect it to be lower than the existing Force drives due to their budget nature.
There is no word on specific availability date(s), but the new Force LS drives will be priced at $70 for the 60GB, $110 for the 120GB, and $200 for the 240GB. At the top end, the drives are approximately 83 cents per Gigabyte ($0.83/GB). All Force LS drives come with three year warranties.

Ristorante Massimo Ratings and Reviews
Dinner at Massimo's is always a treat. They have the most wonderful food, the service is excellent and Massimo himself is the jewel. He's always attentive, friendly and goes out of his way to be a wonderful host. Dinner prices are not cheap, but they are worth every penny.
We had a 6;30 reservation. got there 10 minutes early was told our table was just finishing up and then it was given to a group that didnt have a reservation. When we were finally seated the hostess did not give us menus so we had to wait another 10 minutes for menues. Our server was not the caliber that we are used to for this place andwewere very disappointed with the service. The food, however, was excellent.
Food at Massimos is simply perfection. Every time.
The chef's creativity shines, from ingredients, flavors, & textures to presentation.
Servers are professional yet friendly, a welcome cut above those at other restaurants.
Ambience is our favorite--wine cellar feel, cozy and special, never cold nor hot. Fine for friends or couples.
And Massimo himself always makes you feel special. :-)
This is our favorite restaurant in the world! Food is exceptionally gourmet; service is impeccable. Latest visit was our anniversary celebration, which happened to coincide with "restaurant week". Unlike many area restaurants, Massimo's offers a broad menu with full-sized servings of their best entrees, as well as appetizer and dessert, for restaurant week. At other times, every meal we have ever had here, over a period of 15 years, has been amazing and well worth the prices.
Had reservations at 8:15, It was the beginning of restaurant week in Portsmouth, so they were running a little late. No problem they gave us a couple glasses of wine and where seated 15 minutes later. The server was absolutely the best and the food was fabulous. This will be a regular destination anytime we're in town!
The minute you walk in the door you know you are in for an enchanted evening. You are greeted and immediately recognized and congratulated for your special occasion! The wine and dinner menu's are a great read and the choices are vast. Each dish is crafted and there is nothing common place about any entree. There is something on the menu for almost everyone, and the worst part is that you have to choice but one for yourself. This was our third time there and will definitely NOT be our last.
This was my third time at Ristorante Massimo. It has always been great. The menu and atmosphere are notably great, and they incorporate a lot of local and seasonal ingredients. This time the service was a bit slow, but that was a first (it was very busy however). Overall, still excellent and we will return.
Very nice menu -- creative and innovative and not "typical" Italian fare.
There are two areas for dining -- a more formal dining room downstairs and a bar/lounge area upstairs .
Great cheese and charcuterie presentation and options, and nice pasta options.
We have a fabulous dinner there last Thursday to celebrate our Anniversary. The food was awesome, so delicious. The service was excellent and if couse the restaurant is beautiful inside. Warm and cozy. We were seated in a lovely cozy corner table wth pillows. We have been here before and would definitely go back again! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Said Fletcher: "This is a critical step in ensuring the integrity of Kentucky's signature industry. This high ethical standard will help us promote Kentucky as a model state for the regulation of the horse racing industry.""Finally, the regulation of the horse racing industry in Kentucky will be approached with clarity, impartiality, and transparency that had been missing in previous administrations," LaJuana Wilcher, secretary of the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet, said in the release.The Kentucky Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association opposes the policy change, and the General Assembly's Interim Joint Subcommittee on Licensing and Occupations is currently tackling the issue. The subcommittee planned to discuss equine medication again at its Aug. 26 meeting.The KHRA will now file permanent regulations with the Legislative Research Commission and will accept public comment on them.
Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher signed emergency regulations Aug. 19 that will limit race-day equine medication on race day effective Sept. 7. The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority approved the regulations only four days earlier.The regulations allow for use of the bleeder medication Salix but eliminate non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, of which two are currently allowed up to four hours before a race. There appears to be some confusion, however, over use of adjunct bleeder medications on race day.An Aug. 19 release from Fletcher's office says one adjunct bleeder medication can be used. But a copy of the regulations received from the KHRA says two of four adjuncts can be used. KHRA executive director Jim Gallagher after the authority meeting also said up to two adjuncts could be used.The release doesn't spell out whether the new policy pertains only to Thoroughbred racing, though the first page of the regulations mentions "conditions under which Thoroughbred racing shall be conducted in Kentucky." The Standardbred industry has requested its more restrictive medication policy, which allows for only Salix on race day, not be changed for the sake of uniformity.The race-day medication policy currently in use in Kentucky allows for use of up to five substances: Salix; up to two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (one must be phenylbutazone, with a choice of Banamine, flunixin, ketoprofen, meclofemanic acid, or naproxen); one steroidal drug (either dexamethasone, prednisolone, or prednisone); and Amicar, an adjunct bleeder medication.The policy was adopted by the old Kentucky Racing Commission in 2002 but didn't go through the regulatory process. Previously, more than 15 drugs were available for use up to four hours before a race.The regulation now offered by the KHRA lists four adjunct bleeder medications--aminocaproic acid, carbazochrome, conjugated estrogens, and tranexamic acide--two of which can be used up to four hours before a race. One NSAID can be used up to 24 hours before a race.The release from Fletcher's office said the regulations fulfill his promise "to move aggressively to address issues such as race-day medications which affect the integrity and perceptions of horse racing in the commonwealth."
