Explore Murray Hill
WIth One Of The Best Hotels Murray Hill Has To Offer
Murray Hill is a famous neighborhood on Manhattan's east side. With historic accommodations and plush amenities, Hotel Chandler is one of the best hotels Murray Hill NYC has to offer. Read more about the neighborhood's history and experience it for yourself at our Murray Hill hotel.
Eighteenth Century
Murray Hill derives its name from the Murray family, 18th-century Quaker merchants mainly concerned with shipping and overseas trade. Robert Murray (1721–1786), the family patriarch, was born in County Armagh, Ireland, immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1732, and came to New York in 1753 after a short residence in North Carolina. He quickly established himself as a merchant and eventually owned more shipping tonnage than any other New Yorker. About 1762 Murray rented land from the city for a great house and farm. His great house, which he named Inclenberg (or Belmont), but which was popularly termed Murray Hill, was built on a since-leveled hill at what is today Park Avenue and 36th Street. The great square house was approached by an avenue of mixed trees leading from the Boston Post Road; it was surrounded on three sides with verandas— or "piazzas" as they were called in New York— and commanded views of the East River over Kips Bay.
Nineteenth Century
During the 19th century, this neighborhood was "uptown" with the city ending with the reservoir at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street covering what today is the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. To the north was for the most part farmland. In the bitter winter of 1808 during the embargo that closed New York harbor, an innovative work relief program kept out-of-work dock workers busy reducing the height of Murray Hill; between twenty and forty feet were sliced off its summit and used for fill. In 1833 the railroad cut was begun, to carry the New York and Harlem Rail Road through Murray Hill; the route under the most prominent obstacle in its right-of-way was opened 1 May 1834; then the locomotives, which had met the horse-cars that ran through the city's streets at the station at 27th Street, could pass the reduced hill; by an act of 1850 the city permitted to roof over the cut for the passage of steam locomotives. This Park Avenue Tunnel, enlarged and relined, has been devoted to automobile traffic since 1937.
Twentieth Century
For much of the 20th century, the neighborhood was a quiet and rather formal place, with many wealthy older residents. Since the late 1990s, many upper-class young professionals in their twenties and thirties have begun to move into the area. On weekends, the raucous restaurant-and-bar scene along Third Avenue, beyond the traditional eastern limits of Murray Hill, particularly reflects this change.
The community is also home to the CUNY Graduate Center which share the landmark former B. Altman Building with the New York Public Library Science, Industry and Business Library or SIBL and Oxford University Press. The neighborhood is also home to Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University, The Morgan Library & Museum and Scandinavia House - The Nordic Center in America, The Mexican Cultural Institute of New York and a historically notable private institution, the Union League Club of New York. On January 29, 2008, the Whitney Museum of American Art branch gallery at what had been the Philip Morris headquarters opposite Grand Central Terminal closed after a 25-year run. For around fifty years the neighborhood has been home to National Review, the conservative journal of opinion founded by William F. Buckley, Jr., most of that time at 150 East 35th Street, currently at 215 Lexington Avenue at 33rd Street. 150 East 35th Street was purchased by Yeshiva University
In the late 1990s, Murray Hill began to attract an influx of young college graduates, leading to a "work-hard, play-hard" atmosphere, which has since been referenced in several media sources such as The New York Time and New York Post.

Building the Ideal Fantasy Running Back
When Ravens running back Ray Rice came out of Rutgers in 2008, no one could have completely foreseen his future NFL success. Rice was passed over by all 32 NFL teams, likely due to his 5-8 frame. The truth is that there were indicators of Rice's future dominance, including his stocky build and 4.42 speed.
Last week, I used past research to build the "prototypical" fantasy football quarterback. Today, I'll do the same with running backs.
Speed Kills
While opinions on the importance of the 40-yard dash differ from "completely worthless" to "he ran a what!?," the truth is the test is really important for running backs. In terms of approximate value - a good measure of overall production - the fastest running backs have been the most success, and it hasn't even been close.
Running backs who have run sub-4.40 have been around six times as successful as those above 4.50, which is remarkable. The difference is far greater even than that for wide receivers. Frank Gore and Alfred Morris-type players are outliers at a position that has thrived on game-breaking speed over the last decade.
Bigger Is Better
Everything else equal, you always want bigger, faster players. For some positions, however, height is more important than weight. For running backs, height doesn't seem to be too crucial, whereas weight - or more specifically, height-to-weight ratio - predicts NFL success. Historically, "stocky" running backs - those with a high body mass index - have been able to withstand the wear and tear of the position better than tall, lanky ones.
By comparing a running back's speed to his size, we can get a really good idea of his future production. There are all sorts of advanced formulas out there to combine weight with metrics like the 40-yard dash and short shuttle, and those formulas seem to work better as a predictive tool than either speed or weight alone.
Heavy Workloads
While wide receivers can post outstanding fantasy numbers on efficiency alone, running backs absolutely require heavy workloads. Look at the 16 backs who rushed for 1,000 yards in 2012; with the exception of C.J. Spiller, every one of them had at least 220 carries, and most a lot more. The standard deviation of yards-per-carry is low; a top running back might average 5.5 YPC, which is barely 20 percent higher than the league average. That means the first stat you should consider when projecting running backs is total touches.
Efficiency > Bulk Stats as a Predictor
While a heavy workload is pivotal to elite production at the running back position, efficiency in terms of YPC can actually better predict success for second-year players. Looking at rookie running backs stats, the backs who were the most efficient in their rookie seasons have actually had superior careers than the backs who had the most carries or yards. If you're looking for a sleeper second-year running back, seek one who didn't have monstrous bulk stats but who was efficient when he got the ball. **cough** David Wilson **cough**
Youth Movement
Believe it or not, running backs play at near-peak efficiency from the moment they enter the NFL. Their total production tends to increase until around their mid-20s as their workloads do the same, but the idea that running backs are good until they turn 30 is crazy. Most running backs see a steady decline in overall efficiency as they age. By age 30, they're typically posting only around 70 percent of their previous peak production.
That's why rookie running backs can offer so much value. Owners fear the unknown, but rookie running backs who see heavy workloads - such as Trent Richardson and Doug Martin last year - often produce No. 1 running back numbers.
In keeper and dynasty leagues, you want to get as young at the running back position as possible. There's a big difference between a 27-year old and a 23-year old, even if their numbers in the prior season are comparable.

Part of it was the fantasy that was built up about it.
Part of it was that it boosted my self esteem. However it was vicious circle because I was always angry at myself and the world after.
I'm trying to get to the whys so I don't do this again.
1. Do something that I regret
2. Feel bad about it
3. Try to do something surface level to make me feel better instantly
4. Feel worse about myself afterward
5. Repeat
For me this started out long before my A
drinking, drugs, bad parent, bad husband, etc.
Then this grows the more you go against your inner self, the bigger the hole get in your bucket. the more you need to fill it. Until it becomes an all out kibble feeding frenzy. And you surround yourself with nothing but those who give you kibbles. and your BS does not give you kibbles because they can see right through your facade. And you are not doing anything substantial to deserve real compliments. Eventually the cycle gets weighted so badly, that you do not want to do the hard work for true self-appreciation and grow your self worth. so you add more kibble givers.
I encourage you to look around at who you hung out with befriended etc. I found that I had some friends that I kept around just to point at and say "At least I am not that bad" kibbles just for being around them. You might be surprised with yourself.
ME: WH HER: BS (holesinmybucket)
I do not PM with Women
I had been hanging out with solid friends before but they were slowly ejected as I got deeper into things like drinking.
After Dday I renewed friendships with those that I had ejected, these are solid guys who are friends of the marriage.
There are still two people I maintain a sort of close friendship via email. Both of them had told me to stop what I was doing and work on my relationship. I contact them infrequently and they are pulling for my wife and I to work it out.
But yeah... about 3 years ago I swapped out my circle of friends with those who helped enable my drinking and drug use.
I wasn't a huge drug user, I smoked a bowl once with one of the guys, but after DDay I texted him that I was having issues at home and was off Facebook etc and that I had things to work on.
But, that wasn't enough to stop me. As wrong as I knew it was and as wrong as it sometimes felt, the powerful feelings of euphoria were just too much. It really is like being drugs. Logic and reason and right and wrong meant nothing.

The majority of Mississippi House members want to extend the reach of government into the bodies of women who seek abortions in the state.
A bill passed out of the Republican-controlled House on a 78-36 vote Wednesday night requires women to undergo a vaginal ultrasound probe before receiving an abortion. No exception is made for rape or incest.
The test would have to be performed regardless of medical necessity. Supporters say the requirement is necessary in order for the women who is receiving the abortion to understand the fetus has a "heartbeat."
The bill, HB1169, now goes to the GOP-controlled Senate.
The legislation uses the term "transvaginal" ultrasound.
MedlinePlus, an information service of the National Institutes of Health, describes the "transvaginal" procedure this way:
"You will be asked to undress, usually from the waist down. A transvaginal ultrasound is done with your bladder empty or partially filled.
"You will lie down on a table with your knees bent and feet in holders called stirrups. The health care provider will place a probe, called a transducer, into the vagina. The probe is covered with a condom and a gel. The probe sends out sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture. The doctor can immediately see the picture on a nearby TV monitor.
"The health care provider will move the probe within the area to see the pelvic organs."

Thompson charged in connection to Needham shooting
A man has been charged in connection to Friday's shooting incident that led to the death of 27-year-old Dominic Needham of Red Lake.
Curtis James Thompson, 32, of Leonard, was charged on Monday with a felony count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Thompson remains in Beltrami County Jail. Bail was set at $100,000. His next court date is Jan. 28.
If convicted of the charge, Thompson faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
Needham died on Friday after law enforcement responded to an early-morning call about a shooting in Grant Valley Township.
According to the criminal complaint, Needham was discovered on the deck and was bleeding from a gunshot wound in his waist area.
Efforts to resuscitate Needham failed, and he was pronounced dead due to the gunshot wound.
Officers found a broken window adjacent to where Needham was found, the complaint said. The double-hung window, had both its upper and lower panes broken.
One of the occupants of the home told investigators that they heard pounding, and Needham had requested access to the home, which they denied, the complaint said. They asked Needham to leave, but he wouldn't, and instead continued to pound on the door and window.
The witness said he believed Needham was shooting from outside the house and broke the two panes of the window, the complaint said.
The witness then told investigators that Thompson shot Needham from inside the home, the complaint said.
The homeowner told investigators that three adults were in the residence along with children when Needham came to the door and asked to be let in, the complaint said. She said that she heard shooting from outside and subsequently took her children into the bedroom, and she did not know what happened after that.
Thompson told investigators he had been staying at the home for the last few weeks and he was watching TV when he heard glass breaking, the complaint said. He said that he heard the other two adults inside screaming and then heard a gunshot.
Thompson said he took a rifle from the bedroom, loaded it and went into the living room, the complaint said.
Thompson saw that Needham had gotten about halfway into the home when Thompson shot him in the leg, the complaint said.
He said that he thought Needham had a gun, but Thompson said he did not see it, the complaint said.
Thompson said he then took the gun outside and threw it the snow, the complaint said.
During the investigation, investigators found footprints leading them 40 feet from the home to a Ruger 30.06 bolt-action rifle that was not loaded, the complaint said. An empty 30.06 cartridge in the living room near the spot where Thompson said he had been standing.
No other firearms were found were found outside, the complaint said.
When Needham was found on the deck, he was holding a large fixed blade knife in his right hand, the complaint said.
Thompson was sentenced on Dec. 10 in Polk County for felony second-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine).
The incident remains under investigation by the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Potters join Campbell chase
Skysports.com understands Stoke City have joined the race to sign Blackpool striker DJ Campbell.
Last Updated: 18/06/11 10:57am
Skysports.com understands Stoke City have joined the race to offer Blackpool striker DJ Campbell a return to the Premier League.
Campbell impressed at Bloomfield Road last season in scoring 13 goals as the Seasiders narrowly failed to retain their top-flight status.
He has a release clause in his contract allowing him to leave the club for £1.25million following relegation, although Blackpool are not giving up hope of keeping the forward.
However, Campbell has recently expressed his determination to play in the Premier League again next term and he has several clubs on his trail.
Fulham and Sunderland have already been linked with bids for the former Birmingham City man, and now Stoke have entered the chase.
Potters boss Tony Pulis is looking to improve his squad over the summer and is weighing up a move to bring Campbell to the Britannia Stadium.

Dacapo's School for Success"
If you want to be a success in the Houston restaurant business," Leticia Guzman once said jokingly, "just come work for Dacapo's." Of course, her Allen Parkway eatery no longer suffers high turnover: Dacapo's is now closed, and Guzman and husband, Kirk Graham, have graduated to Staccato's downtown. But the alumni tradition continues. Last week, two more former Dacapo-ites hung out their own shingle, this time at Sonoma [1415 California, (713)522-7066].Patrick Zone and partner/chef Kirk DeLoach formally opened on February 11, dishing up "simple" New American cuisine. "The space is deceptive," says Zone, of the upper story of the old, yellow building. "It's much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. One of my friends calls it 'the secret squirrel place.' " A stage overlooks the main dining area; "nonintrusive" jazz is slated to begin in March.
Undertow in the Aquarium
Executive chef Louis Cressy has backstroked away from the Aquarium's stove less than three months after the grand opening of that restaurant, Tilman Fertitta's crown jewel on the Boardwalk at Kemah [402 Second St., (281)334-9010]. Insiders hint that Cressy hoped for a kinder, gentler kitchen experience than grinding out 1,200 meals per day at the Aquarium. Cressy resurfaced last week at a Montrose catering outfit, A Fare Extraordinaire [2035 Marshall, (713)527-8288], a gig he hopes will offer a little more flexibility. "I have two small children," he explains, "so those 90-hour weeks were hard on my family." Cressy, an accomplished guitarist, is also putting the finishing touches on an as-yet-untitled CD of tunes recorded in his home studio.
Anthonie Dekker, who joined Team Tilman last June and was on board for the Aquarium's opening, has replaced Cressy as executive chef. Dekker, understandably nervous about talking to a reporter without permission from the notoriously tightlipped corporate office, would say only that yes, it's an enormous job but one he's worked toward his whole career and that he is "obsessed with food and quality."
Boss Fertitta, meanwhile, is busy cranking out another Cadillac Bar clone. Fertitta closed his Landry's Oyster Bar on the Galveston Seawall [1502 Seawall Blvd., (409)762-4261] two weeks ago to reoutfit the location as another Cadillac. Fertitta bought the original North Shepherd cantina last spring, you may recall, and promptly reproduced it as part of his 14-acre "eatertainment" complex at Kemah. Look for the new Caddy's doors to open sometime in March, just in time for the annual surge of spring breakers.

Big East Battle
Philadelphia,Pa - Villanova has been mindful of the historic nature of this Big East season. St. John's, though, has done little to help the league's status in recent years.
The 23rd-ranked Wildcats, with a chance to set a school record for consecutive wins at the Pavilion, look to become the third straight ranked team to beat the Red Storm when the teams meet Sunday.
Oddsmakers from Online Sportsbook Sportsbook.com have made the Villanova–14.5 point spread favorites for Wednesday's game against the St Johns. Current College Basketball Public Betting Information shows that 57% of more than 223 bets for this game have been placed on the Villanova -2.5.
Villanova (13-3, 1-2) has lost two of three, but those defeats were against Big East teams that are currently in the Top 25. The conference has eight ranked teams, including No. 1 Pittsburgh.
"We talk to our guys about this all the time," Wildcats coach Jay Wright said after a 61-60 loss to then-No. 23 Louisville on Jan. 10. "At the end of December we told them to really enjoy what we were embarking on. We told them that they are going to be a part of history. This is one of the greatest years in the history of the Big East and they are going to be telling their children about this."
Nine days prior to losing to the Cardinals, Villanova fell 79-72 to a Marquette team that has since moved into the Top 25.
After hosting Louisville at the Wachovia Center, the Wildcats return to the Pavilion - their on-campus home - where they have tied a school record with 23 straight wins. Villanova hasn't lost there since Jan. 6, 2007, when it fell 73-65 to DePaul.
The Wildcats seem to have a good chance to break the record, facing a St. John's team that has lost five of its last six. The Red Storm's only win during that stretch was 71-65 over then-No. 7 Notre Dame on Jan. 3, but they went on to lose 90-67 at Pittsburgh and 67-55 at home to No. 4 Connecticut this past week.
The Red Storm (10-6, 1-3), once a perennial Big East power, appear to be resigned to another poor season. They have finished below .500 in four of six seasons since last making the NCAA tournament in 2001-02.
Villanova will get its own opportunity to face the Panthers and Huskies over the next 10 days. First, the Wildcats have to find a way to bounce back from a close loss.
Villanova missed two shots down low in the final seconds against Louisville, and went 6-for-14 from the foul line over the final 8 1/2 minutes.
The poor free throw shooting was out of the ordinary for the Wildcats, who entered the game leading the Big East at 72.2 percent. They made 18 in a row at the line in an 89-85 overtime win at Seton Hall on Jan. 6.
Antonio Pena, who went into the Cardinals game shooting 69.6 percent from the line, made one of six free throws over the final 4:43, missing three of four in the last 47 seconds.
"Even if you're a good free throw shooting team, you'll have one of those games," Wright said.
St. John's got to the free throw line a season-low 10 times versus UConn on Thursday night, making six in the loss.
Sophomore guard Paris Horne, who has stepped up with Anthony Mason Jr. (foot) out for the season, had a career-high 24 points for the Red Storm. Horne, averaging 13.2 points, was 9-of-13 from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range.
St. John's leads the all-time series 58-42, but Villanova has won the last four meetings. The Wildcats won 60-42 on the road in the only matchup in 2007-08, holding the Red Storm to 13 points in the first half last Feb. 16.

text: I need to know something from everyone here who has purchased the first five seasons of this series on DVD. I grew up watching this series in the seventies along with other classic shows such as the Original Star Trek series, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers and MASH. I've been looking at finally picking up the All In The Family DVD sets since Best Buy is now running their buy one get one free TV DVD set offer and I've been hearing problems left and right that some fans have been having with some of the season sets. These problems range everywhere from blurred video footage from some episodes along with red stripped lines on some of the episodes. These are comments from fans over at the Amazon.com website and while I'm skeptical about those revgiews I'd like to know if anyone here has experienced any distracting problems with any of the sets that they have purchased. I'm hoiping to pick up some of these sets by end of this week so any comments are welcomed.

Invitation Etiquette
Etiquette advisor Patricia Napier-FitzpatrIck is best known for dispensing protocol and manners-training services at The Etiquette School of New York. So when it comes to wedding etiquette? We think it's safe to put your trust in her, starting with these seven simple stationery tips.

You Can Never Give Too Much Notice
Save-the-dates typically go out three to four months prior to the wedding, but if guests are spread far and wide—or you're throwing a destination wedding—more time is better. No one will complain about having extra leeway to plan. Send invitations six to eight weeks beforehand, with an R.S.V.P. request of two to three weeks prior to the event so you can get a final head count.

Be Creative (But Clear)
From telegrams to invisible ink, couples are doing fun things with their save-the-dates and invitations. If you're getting innovative, just make sure that all pertinent information is included. For save-the-dates, the names of the couple getting married and the date should be most prominent, along with a note that invitations will follow. You don't have to name the venue, but if you have a website, save-the-dates are a great place to share the URL.

Keep It Simple
Wedding invitations should include the full names of the couple marrying and those of the hosts (if they're different), the place and time, and that's it. "No children" isn't included on the invite; it's implied by the names on the envelope. Nor should you list registry information on the invitation—family and attendants can spread the word when asked about it, or you can provide it on your website.

Spell It Out
"Street," "Post Office Box," and "Apartment" should all be written in full. The same is true for city and state names and house numbers smaller than 20. "Mr. and Mrs." generally are abbreviated.

Play the Name Game
Your guests' entire names should be written on the outer envelopes. Address married couples as "Mr. and Mrs.," followed by the husband's first and last name. It's also fine to list both full names. When a woman keeps her maiden name, the names are written in alphabetical order: Ms. Susan Jones and Mr. John Smith. For an unmarried couple who live together, write the names on two lines.
Stationery by Amber Housley

Titles Do Matter
If the wife is a doctor, her full name comes first, as in "Doctor Aharon and Mr. Gary Lawrence." When the husband is a doctor, the titles appear as "Doctor and Mrs." and if both husband and wife are doctors, the envelope should say "Drs. Sharon and Gary Lawrence." A single woman (unless she's a doctor) should be addressed as "Ms." If she's under 21, use "Miss."

Thank-you notes should be treated with a sense of urgency. Send them within two weeks of receiving the present to express your true appreciation.

For any manager working in the business environment the term "Six Sigma" should sound at least familiar. Although it is a relatively recent concept, the Six Sigma has gained appreciation for providing the systems and tools to solve problems in a professional and methodical manner. The Six Sigma is an innovative managerial concept firstly developed by the Motorola American company in 1986. This method aimed to reduce errors and to help making things better and faster through a set of quality standards for daily work. Six Sigma originated as a set of practices designed to improve manufacturing processes and eliminate defects, but its application was subsequently extended.
The Six Sigma approach has a very well-defined structure known as the DMAIC project methodology. This business management strategy creates a special infrastructure of people within each company who are experts in the above-mentioned methods. The training for Six Sigma is provided through the belt based training system. The Black Belts follow after the Master Black Belts who are on top of the hierarchy and are very reputed professionals in this field. They must have a complete understanding of all the insights of the DMAIC model according to the principles of Six Sigma and SPC is a very important step of the Control phase of a process. SPC stands for Statistical Process Control and involves applying specific statistical methods for monitoring and controlling a process. The purpose of this activity is to make sure the process is completely operable and efficient in terms of producing the desired outcomes. SPC found applicability mostly in manufacturing industries and it was used for predicting a process capacity of producing quality products that meet specifications and reducing wastes. However, its application has been subsequently extended to control any process with a measurable output.
The main benefit of the statistical process control is guiding us to what types of actions should be taken to improve the functioning of a process. It should either guide us to react to individual results of the process or to change the entire process for reaching the desired output. Whether the process is in or out of control, there are many occurrences happening at every phase. But the question is whether such occurrences mean something important and should worry us or not. When the process is in control, the answer would be no, but if the process goes out of control then yes, we should pay attention to the variations and take the appropriate measures for driving the process in control again.
SPC uses various tools to perform an objective analysis for the early detection and prevention of problems that may arise. By doing so, it can also reduce the necessary time to produce the expected output, thus making SPC a valuable tool for cost reduction and customer satisfaction. The most important diagnostic tools used in the SPC are control charts that are meant to identify any special causes that may affect the good progress of a process. Control charts are very useful for recording data and for making the distinction between common cause variations of a process that are always present and special cause variations that indicate the process is out of control. The latter variations will require different actions to be taken depending on theie effects on the process. If they have a negative effect measures must be taken to eliminate those causes, whilst if they have beneficial effects they should be made standard operating procedures. After such actions will be taken you should be able to direct your efforts towards improving the process and making sure these improvements are maintained. For achieving this you should be able to use other statistical tools, such as different flow-charts, Ishikawa diagrams, Pareto analysis and so on.All this being considered, SPC is a very important step in the development of a process and if you want to become a Six Sigma Black Belt you need to make sure you have the proper knowledge and skills related to this topic. A good way of measurinf your abilities would be to take a Black Belt SPC test. Brainmeasures.com is a reputed company that can offer you the free SPC test you need for evaluating yourself.

Coppell police are asking for help identifying a thief targeting day care parking lots.
In the most recent case, the thief stole the purse of an unsuspecting mother Dec. 12 at a Montessori School in Coppell. Investigators said the thief stole her purse from her car during the few minutes she was inside picking up her child.
Surveillance video from a Lewisville Target shows a man trying to buy $2,000 worth of gift cards with the victim's credit card.
"He's very well-dressed -- has a cardigan sweater on and looks like he would blend in with everyone else," Detective Anthony Maurer said. "He doesn't look like a bad guy."
The man left when a manager asked to see his identification.
"I think he has probably struck many times since this time," Maurer said. "It's probably something he does on a daily basis."
The crook left the Coppell day care on Dec. 12 in a newer model, burgundy Dodge double-cab pickup with no license plates and headed to a Target in Plano.

Take this as a warning BMW enthusiasts. Discovery Automotive was able to create a good reputation for themselves on M5board where they profited from exposure in cleaning up RMS mistakes. Shadowman, Bill of Discovery Automotive, was able to force his way into the lucrative high-end BMW tuning scene through the easiest route available, which is taking advantage of M5 owners. To be honest, we fell for this as well seeing Discovery Automotive take great care in posting their builds to give the appearance of a high end shop only for horror stories to start to surface.
What happened in this particular instance is that Bill took a car that was under his care, a twin turbo Ford GT, and went out to a spot known to the locals as a "drag strip" and abused the car resulting in losing control and wrecking it. Bill, William E. Knobloch, would begin to distort the truth attempting to skirt responsibility for what happened. What happened was he behaved irresponsibly with an immensely powerful vehicle that did not belong to him and wrecked it playing around like some teenager who couldn't control himself. Feel free to read the whole story in quotes below.
Take this as a warning when sending your car to a tuner or who you are using as your tuner. This isn't the only tuner who has behaved irresponsibly with a car under their care. How many of them go out under the guise of "testing" only to race around with someone else's property? Well, at least we all know that Discovery Automotive is one tuner BMW fans can cross off the list, permanently.

What mob mentality? I see quite a difference of opinion.
If anything, an interest in your vehicles was expressed but we don't have any solid data on it. That also worries me a bit as if these cars were so strong why do they seem to hang out in obscurity?
AdmiralZx3 - 10-23-2010, 03:56 PM
first off, if you truly are Josh Kalis, let me say HOLY $#@!! I still have your first ever DC signature shoe! and i loved your part in the DC Video.
secondly, i dont own a bmw, FGT, lambo, hummer, etc. i have a Ford Focus ZX3 semi tuned out, and when i take it to a tuner, they dont ask me for my insurance or a letter to drive it, why? because the insurance actually follows the driver NOT the car. so if i drive my buddys cobalt ss and i crash it, MY ins will cover it NOT his, because HE wasnt driving. so why would Ray's ins have to cover this dumbass' accident? Ray wasnt driving, Shadowwhatever was, his BUSINESS INSURANCE should cover, but seems that he didnt at the time of his mystery flight, helping the govn't trim trees.
for the record, i am 1000% behind Sticky, you guys really havent read, really truly R-E-A-D, what Ray said. MysteryFlier doenst 'remember' so he is gonna make up a story to save is ass so he can continue to produce time bombs. Ray went to Cali to see the damage himself and get the story, its kinda like a puzzle, he saw the car, saw the scene of the accident, put 2 and 2 together and got 4 not 2 and 2 minus 7 plus 43 dived by -199 plus 7 is 4. DUH!!! just take a day or so, sit down and firmilarize yourself with the real story. 2+2=4 always has been. no possible way you can FLY without SPEED, lift and wings. please, give me a break.
I really hate to tell you....
The insurance follows the car. I own a shop... actually owned a couple. If the car is wrecked in my building... my insurance will cover it... if its wrecked on the road the cars insurance covers it.
here is an example.... from an insurance company web site based on a different story... but you'll get the idea.
So basically when you loan out your vehicle you also loan out your insurance so to speak. In 99% of the states insurance follows the vehicle which means that your insurance would be primary. Since you did not carry Collision (which if you're vehicle is worth that much why aren't you) then you may be able to file a claim with her insurance.
You can file what is called and excess claim. Basically her insurance would cover it as a non owned vehicle on an excess basis. In most states this is covered by the collision portion but a few allow damages to a non-owned vehicle to be paid under Property damage.
You'll need to file a claim with her insurance as this is not an easily interperted to read in the policy. WHat's the worse thing they'll tell you, NO??? It's worth a shot.
Rochelle Says:

Auto insurance typically follows the car (owner) first and driver second. So if you let your girlfriend borrow your car and she wrecked it it is likely that your insurance will need to provide coverage to the limits of your policy.
If you only had collision coverage, your girlfriend's insurance company will pay second to any insurance you have. If your girlfriend has caused more damage or injury (to the other car or person) than what your policy covers hers will kick in. Her policy will not provide any physical damage coverage to your car. The damage to your vehicle will be covered by your policy only.
Since you didnt have collision coverage, i guess you will have to pay that $10k out of your own pocket.
Insurer rules and guidelines vary so talk to your insurance agent and face the truth.
tonywonder - 10-24-2010, 04:04 AM
i would just like to say that i dont think anybody is throwing shadowmaster under the bus. What has been posted online from him and the owner and the outcome thus far, is what hurts shadowmans reputation. everyone is going to develop there own opinion of the guy and his ethics despite the past quality of his work. the lesson to be learned here is that if you go to ANY tuner be aware that if a wreck happens under the care and supervision of the mechanic, it is possible that it will come out of your own pocket and not the shops. i would personally be interested in hearing what the insurance companies, have to say about the situation. i wonder what the oder of procedure is with or without insurance. surely there is a checklist for liability.
edit: LOL, I see I was banned "again" from the M5 Board after I posted directly at Bill Noballs. That is the only forum he will post on, becuase that is where all the D/A fanboys hang out. Does not matter anymore, because I now eat M5's for breakfast lunch and dinner. The guys I talked to over on M5B, are now on another forum, so I can still talk to them.
Bas is registered here, right? I don't remember what his username is. I'm surprised he hasn't said anything. I would like to speak to the new owner as well, would be interesting to see what he says.
Sticky, here for all to judge for themselves:

I'm sure that Bill wasn't setting out to abuse the car. Somehow things got out of hand; Bill doesn't strike me as a guy who is reckless with cars.
Thank you
Even though we have had our differences your comment not as supportive but rather attempting to keep folks focused on the real issue is truly appreciated.
To reiterate;
It was accident and a very ugly one during which there was no malicious act. After the accident I opened the initial claim with my insurance company and then sadly Ray had to open one too because as stated; collision coverage follows the car. The insurance companies paid Ray for the loss.
When one takes the emotions out of it many of which are created by far too many folks that seem to relish in the drafting of a fiction novel one reply at a time while cloaked behind a keyboard there is nothing more to share.
It was a sad moment in time for Ray and his family as well and me and mine.
I hope that none of you ever have to experience such an accident and even more so the witch hunt that followed.
If it had been a Yugo I dare say that I would have been the dumbass for driving such a car and yet because it was a cool car this seems to make a difference; it is based on that which I know that I can say that the act of being in an accident cares not what kind of car that you are in.
Takes care

I remember the day that you called and told me of help that you needed with one of your gals; how she had been at another facility and you were not getting along with them. I also remember calling them on your behalf so as to help bring you two back together and how after this that you shared if I would help you with a "free" heat exchanger for your gal that you were empowered based on your relationships throughout the forums to spread the great word of D/A and ultimately how I turned you down. It was soon after that you found another to attach yourself too and the slander began.
FYI I have never regretted saying no.
One day you will find your truth and until then aimlessly you will travel.

Bill, thank-you for finally posting/speaking on a forum or TV program. I know it took alot of guts to do so. I am sure you had your pick of which one you wanted to respond to. Was it TMC or Intertainment Tonight? I think the M5Board is very pleased you chose their forum to speak. This accident has blown up into a world wide phenomenon. You do know why, yes? Of course you do, we all do. We love the drama, the excitement, the hormone and testosterone driven sexiness of it all. I know you can feel it, we all do. But you know what? You fu*ked up Bill. You took that sacred bond between a layman/customer and a paid shop/tech, and you broke it, you broke that bond, Bill. Not only did you break it, you ashamed and humilated it. And all for your own greed and advancement. It is always about your advancement and prestige in the high-end modding community. No matter how you wax poetically your warped point of view, you are, will be, and will always remain the fallen knight, the prince without a princess, and shamefully, a Emperor without clothes. You, my M5Board member, are finished. All those who support Bill, please rise. We will remember.
Edit: Go Giants!!!!

Jimmy... you've been banned before on this messageboard for aggressive, childish personal attacks.
You've now had chance to redeem yourself with a new user profile and managed to blow it again in true loser fashion.
I only just caught this post, it was a very interesting read. Let me take a shot of summarizing it, in a script format:
Ray: Hi Bill. My "girl" is going to be in town next week and she doesn't know anyone out there. Would you mind taking her out to dinner and showing her a nice time?
Bill: Sure, no problem. You can trust me.
Ray: Thanks.
(cut to next scene a few days later after the girl gets into town)
Bill: Hi Ray ... How are you doing? Dinner didn't go over so well.
Ray: Oh really? I'm sorry to hear that, did you get food poisoning?
Bill: Uh, not really.
Ray: Oh, please do tell me more?
Bill: There really isn't much to say.
Ray: Uh, ok.
(cut to next scene - a few days later)
Ray: Hi Bill, I haven't been able to get in touch with my "gal". I'm in town now and am look around for her. Where are you? I'm going to see if the police have seen anything.
(Ray goes to the police station)
Police: Hi Ray. I have some terrible news. Your "gal" was taken advantage of, raped, murdered and then her body was thrown to the side of the road.
Ray: Whoa. That is terrible ... Is Bill ok?
(Bill comes into the scene)
Bill: Hi Ray. You know this is really your fault? You should not have let your "girl" go out with me.
Ray: Are you kidding me?
Bill: Also Ray, I need you to cover the doctor's bill from the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome I have in my wrist from strangling your "girl" and tossing her to the side of the road. She's a little heavier than she looks.
(I don't I really want to continue this ...)
My advice, stop call the cars "girls" ... its just better to say "I crashed the car".

What alot of people don't realize, and I know first hand is that Bill Noballs does not produce a consistant, reliable product. Heck, he does not even do any of the work himself. He takes other people's design and sweat, and x100 the price (to add prestige and exclusivity as well as to help his life style), and calls it his own.Whaever one thinks of RMS (reputation)or Dinan (price), at least these companies actually do thier own design and whatnot. Ok, fine, he does not do his own design,n big deal. But if a problem should arise, he cannot repair it himself. And, he has to fly someone in who can. He has no staff, no professional shop, and no license. Nor is he bonded or insured.
No insurance is exactly why he desperately wanted that insurance card, someone else can take the responsibility.
Heh, no shop, no license, no insruance, it is like getting surgery done by a back alley Dr. in Tijuana.

Latest financial trends & loan management tips
Have bad credit history, or blacklisted — NO problem!
With a booming economy, the life of many South African's is changing and, with this change comes a need for financial solutions that can keep up. More so then ever before, people are now looking for bank credit, credit cards and other cash loan options to meet their everyday needs and responsibilities. In addition, a healthy real estate market has provoked an increase in the number of mortgages and bonds, with more and more South Africans looking to get in on the property market. All these factors have combined to create a financial services market that can be hard, even for the most financially savvy among us, to navigate.
To meet the ever-changing, fast-paced and demanding needs of the modern man, a huge number of financial service providers and cash advances have become available – essentially complicating the financial services market and making it harder for regular customers to find the solutions that truly meet their personal needs.
Your financial history is certainly a critical factor in determining your eligibility for a loan or other personal finance product. If you have a good credit history you will not only stand a greater chance of having a loan approved but you'll receive significantly better loan conditions such as a lower interest rate and better repayment terms. Contrary to popular belief, those with a poor credit history or those who have been blacklisted still have credit options available to them and we're here to give you that information. LoansFind can provide you with critical information about loans for blacklisted individuals, which will help you find the right product for you, and keep you away from loan sharks.
Apart from your credit history, there are other factors that will determine your eligibility for a loan and these may differ from one provider to the next. This includes factors such as your monthly income and expenses (debt to income ration) and employment history, among many others. Being a part of a family will work in your favor, particularly if your partner also has a stable income because lenders will automatically assume you to be a lower risk client. In addition, individuals who own one or more, high-value assets, such as a home that can be used as collateral, will certainly have many loan options available to them, with favorable conditions.
Even if you are not currently looking for a loan it is important to pay your financial obligations on time and ensure that you do not fall behind. If you are struggling with multiple monthly expenses and debts, there are various debt consolidation options, which will enable you to combine all your debts into one, larger and cheaper loan.
Currently there are numerous loan comparison sites available to help you compare the various financial products and provider however, as conditions change quickly, these tools are not always completely up to date and it is possible to be given wrong information. In order to avoid being steered in the wrong direction, use LoansFind's comprehensive services guide to help you navigate the complex landscape and find the right financial product, whether it's a personal loan, a credit card or a home loan that you're looking for.
Featured lenders providing cash loans
LoansFind.co.za is a financial resource aimed at keeping you informed and in the know when making important financial decisions. Whether you are looking for a personal loan, a credit card or a home loan, it is imperative to make those decisions with all of the information available to you, so that you can choose the right personal finance product for your circumstances.

in a programing language how do you represent grammer rules?
For example
say we have a hypothetical programming language called ABED
ABED can have only one type of loop. And it's a while loop. The while loop condition should be a int and if the value of the int is greater than zero it means true otherwise it means false;
How do i represent the above grammer in C.


text: BigEfromTheVillages 108 Report post Posted December 22, 2013 I want to number vertices of a model only if that vertex will be visible once the complete model is rendered. I need to turn off the depth buffer to insure that the number text will not be obscured by adjacent objects, so i need to know in advance if the position of the vertex is hidden. My plan is to render the model, then go back over each vertex (could be thousands) to see if it is visible, if so, turn off the depth buffer and label the vertex using outlined fonts. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?? Thanks in advance 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where Do River Otters Live?
In California, river otters live in the San Francisco Bay watershed. They live along the banks of rivers and streams in the mountains, and they live in man-made canals and reservoirs. They live in creeks running through small towns, and they live in the marshes of the San Francisco Bay Delta.
River otters like to make their homes near water. They find unoccupied burrows, beaver lodges, rock piles, logs or anywhere safe that they can fit. The best dens have an underwater entrance so that predators like hawks, coyotes and bobcats can't come in. We call a river otter den a "holt" or a "couch."
Fish are river otters' favorite food. They're not picky eaters, though: they'll also snack on crayfish, swimming bugs, frogs, rodents and even birds!
Wherever you can find lots of clean fresh water and plenty of food, keep your eyes open as you might find a river otter!


text: Just a heads-up for my APUG friends. After almost three years chasing "real" jobs around the country, I'm back in the south with time to do what I like the most - making contact printing frames. I know APUG members were some of my best customers, and sources of good ideas in the past. I really appreciate your suggestions and good will! I hope I can continue to supply contact printers everywhere with some of the best hand made printing frames available. I'm not taking any orders, just yet, but I already have six 8x10s in the works that I'm using to tune up the process. I should be in full swing by the end of November 2010. My plan is to make 8x10's and 11x14's and keep things simple with just those two sizes. You can see what I'm up to on the pellandphoto.com web site. As always, I welcome your comments. Thanks!

Office XP Service Pack 3 Update Failed
I am running Windows 7. For some reason the list of updates includes an update for Office XP Service Pack 3. However, this update always fails. Why does Windows 7 include an update for Office XP. All the other updates install fine.
|My System Specs

Windows 7 x64 pro/ Windows 7 x86 Pro/ XP SP3 x86
Thats because your computer is likely set up for Microsoft update rather than plain windows updates.
While Windows Update provides you with updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Automatic updating is a feature that allows you to set your PC to automatically download and install updates using either service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your Windows PC current.

I have a similar problem. I have an old, but good, copy of Windows XP Pro and whenever I am prompted to install an update for Office XP Service Pack 3 I receive the message that installation has failed because I need to use the CD-Rom. Problem is that I've lost the CD in my last move. Do I really need this update? I'm happy with the old copy and don't want to spend a hundred or so to buy a new one. If I uncheck the "Microsoft Updates" I'm afraid I'll miss out on crucial updates. Any suggestions?

TokBox Works to Break Video Chat Out of Its Siloes, Flank Google+, Facebook
(Page 2 of 3)
Microsoft's Skype division, allowing Facebook users to make Skype video calls from within the social networking site.
It's rarely a pleasant experience for startups when Internet giants start treading in their markets—but Small told me this week that he long expected such moves from Facebook and Google, and that the new features are actually helping to increase awareness about video chat technology, as well as consumers' comfort level with the whole experience. "Since Hangouts and the Facebook-Skype integration launched, in that five weeks or so we he have seen literally a 200 percent increase in inquiries about OpenTok," Small says.
And it's far better to have Facebook or Google doing OpenTok's advance marketing work than Chatroulette, he adds, considering that site's reputation as a hotspot for nudity. "A year ago, lots of people were having their first experience with two-way video as a result of Chatroulette, and it didn't necessarily give people the best experience, so it was a two-edged sword," he says. "I think Facebook and Google are going to double down on that awareness trend, but people are going to have good experiences, so it's a one-sided sword, which I like a lot better."
It has taken a while for TokBox to find a path to growth. The company was founded by former Cornell students Ron Hose and Serge Faguet in 2007 with backing from Sequoia Capital, and was known early on for providing a six-way video chat feature on the social networking site Meebo. By 2008 the company had raised $14 million in Series A and B funding from Sequoia and Bain Capital, and was taking the cheeky step of sending a taco truck to Yahoo to recruit newly laid-off employees. But uptake for TokBox's chat system was slower than expected, and in mid-2009 Small, a former executive at database company MarkLogic and one of the original developers of the QuickTime video protocol at Apple, was brought in by Sequoia as a turnaround CEO.
The original idea for turning Tokbox from a standalone product into a platform that developers could tap came from customers, Small says. "We talked to a bunch of people who were interested in integrating video chat into their websites, but they said 'We don't want it in this one-size-fits-all way.' The only model at the time was the Brady Bunch model—a box with six heads in it. We started hearing that it would be interesting if we could break up that metaphor. We did some experimenting, and when we saw what happened when you stripped the chrome off and started delivering video into the middle of a Web page, we knew there was something fundamental about it."
By September 2010, Small had decided that the company would make a full pivot, turning off its branded video chat service and shifting all its resources to the OpenTok platform, which it unveiled in November. At the same time, it raised $12 million in Series C financing, with DAG Ventures now in the lead but with Sequoia and Bain still along for the ride.
TokBox is now betting that more and more website owners will see that adding face-to-face communication can make almost any other Web-based activity more social and more engaging, whether that means playing games, shopping, watching movies, or even … Next Page »

Animal Species:Halimeda Ghostpipefish, Solenostomus halimeda Orr, Fritzsche & Randall 2002
The Halimeda Ghostpipefish has a very large head compared with the body size. The species occurs throughout the tropical Indo-West Pacific.
Standard Common Name
Halimeda Ghostpipefish
Alternative Name/s
Algae Ghostpipefish
The head of a Halimeda Ghostpipefish is almost equal to the length of the body. The species has a small caudal fin, which is similar in size and shape to the first dorsal and ventral fins. The caudal peduncle is 2 to 3 times as long as it is high. The species is highly variable in colour (from bright green or red to white) and is sometimes covered with fine filaments that give the fish a 'hairy' appearance.
Size range
The species grows to 6.5 cm in length.
Similar Species
Ghostpipefishes are different to seahorses in several ways. A ghostpipefish's head is held at an angle to the body, but not at such a large angle as that of a seahorse. Ghostpipefishes have two dorsal fins whereas a seahorse only has one.
The species occurs widely throughout the tropical Indo-West Pacific.
This benthic species occurs in inshore areas and coral reefs. It is sometimes found living in association with fine filamentous orange-coloured or bright green algae, at depths between 15 m and 30 m.
Mating and reproduction
Unlike seahorses, ghostpipefishes do not have a pouch in which the young are reared, instead a female ghostpipefish (rather than the male seahorse) looks after the eggs in a pouch formed by her modified pelvic fins. These fins are greatly expanded and united with the abdomen along the upper margin and together below, to form a brood pouch.

Beautiful tribute!
"Our inherent nature is peace, just as it is love, compassion, beauty, generosity, joy and wisdom. Nature shows us all this, if we can take the time to be present, to open our senses and begin to perceive who we really are."
"Yes, take time to be with your land, let all your senses take notice, a powerful spiritual practice indeed."
"By understanding and cherishing the natural world we take care of ourselves and our planet."
"When we pay attention we discover awareness radiates out endlessly beyond and into the body in every direction; this is a hint about our real nature, we are life, we are It, whatever It is."
"For as long as I can remember I have wondered about the 'spiritual' side of life. My explorations have gone in many directions, but now I am content to do what little I can to bring light and love to those around me."
Christine's words in DADIRRIDREAMING
Christine indeed has brought light and love to us.
Miss you, Christine.
Thanks to Jo's A Walk for Christine, Angeline's In Memory of Christine, and Jo Bryant's Goodbye My Friend.
Beautiful tribute!

You made me smile when I saw Christine's beautiful smile Amy. She was so full of light…wasn't she !!! I hope her family are doing okay…can't imagine what this must be doing to them. To lose her so suddenly. Thank goodness she had that wonderful trip and time in Paris with her family.

I too was so shocked and sad – feel I knew Christine in some ways and she often stopped by with lovely comments – including the day before she died. You have shown the light and love of her so beautifully here Amy p.s. always liked that top image 🙂
Thank you for reading, Laura. Glad you like the header image. 🙂
Dear Amy,
I so appreciate this. You were obviously connected at a really deep level.
I have just finished painting her casket. It is surrounded by red lotus.
Maybe I can work out how to share something of the service with you all.
I understand that the blogging friends are at least as entitled to be a part of the farewell as those who can get here in person.
Dear Stuart, Thank you so much for including us. Christine has inspired many of us and will always be remembered. She will love the red lotus. Love, Amy
A lovely tribute, Amy. Christine was a very special lady, and she certainly did bring light and love to all who came into contact with her. 🙂
Agree… I miss her, her wisdom, kindness, and inspiring words.
A very touching tribute Amy.
Thank you, LuAnn.
very beautiful. May she walk in light.
Beautiful and touching words and gorgeous photos, a loving eulogy for a dear friend! May we all have, and be, friends like this! ♥♥♥ ;^)
We will, Aishas! I'm so glad we are connected via WP 🙂
A beautiful tribute to Christine this is Amy. I didn't know her but read about her and news of her sudden, tragic passing over on Jo's blog. So, so sad, but she left her beautiful legacy, a shining light, illuminating all who did know her. Blessings…
Thank you, Sherri. I had a privilege to know her through her blog.
What a loving tribute. A lovely idea to use Christine's own words.
Pingback: Warsaw Botanic Gardens | Warsaw2015
Dear Amy, thank you for this lovely post, I have Meg to thank for sending me here. This time last year I was getting excited, waiting to meet Christine, she was with me for two days. Next week I'm going back to one of the places I took her. It's taken all this time to find the courage. I miss her and hardly a day goes by when I don't think of her.
Thank you so much for visiting this post for our special friend, Christine. I didn't know you had spent two days with Christine, it must take a lot of courage to go back… Thank you for sharing the story, Lucid. 🙂

Yes, we need a rec center and now is the time

- Photo and Video
Dear Editor:
The other night over dinner, my 5 year old asked "Mom, can we have a rec center like Durango?". Somewhat startled by the question, I wholeheartedly answered "I hope so".
LiveWell Colorado reports that adult and childhood obesity rates are rising in Colorado at "… the second fasted rate in the nation." Additionally, annual spending on conditions and diseases related to obesity within Colorado surpassed $1.5 billion. These statistics shock me because Colorado has always been considered such an active State; we were always on the low end of the obesity epidemic. It's also safe to note that currently rural Colorado is hit hardest by this statistic. By and large, obesity can be managed through 2 things — diet and exercise with a little hard work.
Last week's letter to the editor from Gary and Linda Williams did a wonderful job of summing up the value a Rec Center would add to our community for current and future generations of locals and visitors alike. The value for my busy family is a Rec Center allows us to stay active all year long at a very minimal cost. This helps us instill healthy habits for our growing 5 year old for years to come. Building a Rec Center puts our community member's health first and foremost to beat the rising statistic mentioned above.
While there is debate over who should vote (Town vs. County), I hope that as a community we can all agree that a healthy life is a better life and a place that encourages us to play and move is a good thing … for everyone. Please vote yes with me this April to put our community's health needs first.
