What the Press say
".. or you could just snuggle up in front of a log fire in a luxury hotel and enjoy award-winning food. The Linthwaite House Hotel is perfect for this - cosy country without being chintzy and with a fantastic hilltop view over Lake Windermere and the dramatic Langdale fells." 40 short breaks every woman should go on - now! Eve, March 2001 "The hotel... seems to be aimed at those seeking a place to unwind without a pretentious setting - a sort of relaxed, casual austerity" Michael D' Souza, owner of Fulham design shop for Country Homes & Interiors, July 2000.

October 22 , 2012 by: ASRM Office of Public Affairs Published in ASRM Press Release
Note: All information is embargoed until the time of presentation at the meeting, unless otherwise indicated.
San Diego, CA - Two studies were presented at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine that described an apparent link between childhood abuse and reproductive disorders later in life.The first, done by a team out of Harvard, showed that women who reported child sexual or physical abuse had a 13% greater risk of developing endometriosis than women who reported no such abuse. More severe or more incidents of abuse appeared to increase the likelihood that women would develop endometriosis later in life. The researchers examined the Nurses Health Study, which collected data from more than 60,000 women starting in 1989.The second study, performed by a team from the University of California San Francisco and funded by the National Institutes of Health, found that women who experienced sexual abuse were more likely to suffer accelerated ovarian follicle loss at midlife. In this study, 131 women who were enrolled in a study to examine ovarian aging were administered a questionnaire about childhood sexual abuse. They found that women who had experienced severe abuse had a 50% higher rate of follicle decline than those who reported no abuse."These studies are important, and very disturbing. We need to take steps to better understand the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and subsequent reproductive disorders. More importantly, we must all increase our efforts to put an end to childhood abuse and help treat those who have been victimized," said Dolores J. Lamb, PhD, President of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.O-138 Abuse in Childhood is Related to Accelerated Ovarian Follicle Loss at MidlifeM.E. Bleil et al
P-359 Abuse in Childhood and Risk of Endometriosis F. Wieser et al
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine, founded in 1944, is an organization of more than 7,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology. Affiliated societies include the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology, the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, the Society of Reproductive Surgeons and the Society of Reproductive Biologists and Technologists.

Fri, May 18, 2012
The FAA is proposing a $395,850 civil penalty against US Airways for allegedly violating U.S. Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations.
The FAA conducted a periodic dangerous goods inspection of US Airways' facilities at Hartford's Bradley International Airport (BDL), May 10-18, 2010. As a result of the inspection, the FAA alleges the airline committed various violations between Feb. 26 and May 12, 2010. The alleged violations involve 12 flights to or from BDL.
In one instance, the Transportation Security Administration discovered, while inspecting passenger checked baggage, that US Airways had accepted an undeclared shipment containing ten disposable cigarette lighters filled with flammable gas. The FAA alleged the airline failed to notify the FAA of this discrepancy. In another instance, US Airways offered an improperly packaged shipment containing wet cell batteries filled with alkali, a corrosive, for transportation by air on a US Airways passenger-carrying flight.
The FAA also alleged the airline failed to provide pilots with the required "accurate and legible written information" regarding 23 shipments of hazardous materials it accepted for transportation by air.
US Airways has 30 days from the receipt of the FAA's enforcement letter to respond to the agency.

North Battleford and Unity have both been successful in their applications for funding for airport runway repairs.
The provincial government announced Friday that North Battleford will be receiving $25,000 towards runway repairs to Cameron McIntosh Airport.
Unity will be receiving $37,500, which will go to the repaving of the runway at their airport.
The funding is through the Community Airport Partnership program designed to help offset the costs of upgrades. It is a cost-sharing program where the province would share the cost of repairs 50-50 with the municipal government.
North Battleford and Unity are among 15 community airports approved for funding under the program. The two communities receiving the lion�s share of the funding this year are Estevan, receiving $131,231 for rehabilitation of the main apron, and Yorkton, receiving $165,637 for runway and taxiway repairs, drainage rehabilitation, fencing, apron and taxiway expansion.
Also four communities � Biggar, Birch Hills, Gravelbourg and Melfort � are receiving funding for the first time under the program.
In a statement, provincial highways and infrastructure minister Jim Reiter said the provincial portion of the cost-sharing initiative will remain at $700,000 for this year, after being increased last year by 40 percent to meet the demand.
�By partnering with communities, we�re ensuring a network of airports with dependable infrastructure is in place to enhance economic development in sectors like tourism, oil and gas and agriculture as well as assist in delivering air ambulance, medivac and STARS emergency services,� said Reiter.
North Battleford has stepped up its focus on airport upgrades in the past months in the wake of widespread interest in attracting the WestJet Regional airline that announced launch plans earlier this year.
WestJet Regional is targeting smaller communities as part of its potential route map starting in 2013. Last week, the airline announced Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft would make up their initial fleet.
Support was expressed both at city council and by the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce to ensure the infrastructure at Cameron McIntosh Airport could handle regular commercial flights. The city adjusted its 2012 budget to allow North Battleford to apply under the Community Airport Partnership program to take advantage of the 50-50 dollars that were available for runway repairs this year.
Mayor Ian Hamilton told the News-Optimist Monday the city remains interested in attracting a scheduled air passenger service to the airport.
The City�s efforts towards attracting WestJet Regional are part of a joint effort along with the cities of Prince Albert and Lloydminster, with all three planning to meet with WestJet officials to discuss the proposed airline.
�We will be initiating discussions with WestJet to see whether or not we fit in to their plans with respect to regional service,� said Hamilton, who said the City �remains very interested.�
Hamilton says he plans to meet with the mayors of Prince Albert and Lloydminster next week in Humboldt at the city mayor�s caucus, where that effort will likely be one of the issues discussed.

At Cebit 2011, AVM is presenting a slew of innovations relating to home networking. The focus is on more WLAN and DECT, and the incorporation of devices without their own WLAN radio.
New: FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E – more WLAN N and Gigabit LANWith the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E, wireless WLAN convenience is now available even where range used to be limited by structural factors. The Repeater is the ideal way to extend existing WLAN networks. An integrated Gigabit Ethernet connection incorporates other network-enabled devices like TVs, set-top boxes, satellite/TV receivers, and printers and network hard drives into the home network. The compact Repeater is easy to plug into any socket, can be incorporated into the WLAN network at the touch of a button (WPS), and is compatible with any WLAN router. |
The Repeater is ideal to extend existing WLAN networks. |
New: FRITZ!Powerline 500E – data transfer via the power supplyIn future, the FRITZ!Powerline 500E will help in situations where a network connection is required but new cabling is to be avoided. The small adapter extends the Gigabit LAN cable via the house power line, meaning that each socket in the house becomes a network connection. Startup is incredibly simple – plug in, connect the PC or network device, and that's it! FRITZ!Powerline 500E is fitted with a 128-bit AES encryption ex works and is based on the standard IEEE P1901, supporting speeds of up to 500 Mbit/s. |
With FRITZ!Powerline each socket in the house becomes a network connection. |
New: FRITZ!Fon C3 – excellent convenience in a classic formatWith the new FRITZ!Fon, AVM is extending its range of DECT telephones for the FRITZ!Box. The ergonomic telephone featuring color display, illuminated keyboard, and intuitive menu navigation really shines with its high-class acoustics and also offers Internet services such as e-mail, Internet radio, news feeds, and podcasts. |

Welcome to the home page of It's PAWSible! Dog Training Center and Day Camp. We are a special business that has been in operation since 1994!
Our first efforts were our beautiful Dog Training Center that we built on this property in Westhampton, Massachusetts in 1996. We have been specializing in teaching the pet dog owner in our dog training classes how to have a well-behaved, fun, and social dog. Since 1996, It's PAWSible! Dog Training Center has offered the best in puppy training classes, adult dog training classes, advanced dog obedience classes including competition dog agility classes, and we are the producers of the It's PAWSibe! Dog Training DVD titled It's PAWSible! Five Week Pet Dog Obedience Training Course on DVD.
Enjoy our 30 second commercial below!
We also offer an excellent behavioral consultation service for people with new dogs, dogs with problem behaviors and especially newly adopted dogs. I feel like the one-on-one service I offer is unique as I tailor each session to, not only help the dog, but to help the human! So much of working with dogs is about working with the humans that have them.
My education and experience: I graduated from Connecticut K-9 in Newington, CT in 1994. This was an intensive 16 week school. There was plenty of hands-on training as well as theory taught at this school. Though the methods I originally learned were somewhat compulsive (physical corrections), I never really those particular methods now. I started immediately to create my own version of positive reinforcement. However, I believe it was very beneficial to learn those early techniques first as it taught me good instincts and helped me improve my dog training skills and timing. After school, I changed my methods and started using a lure/reward method.
Since then and currently, there have been many dog trainers and apprentices that have joined me at It's PAWSible! Dog Training Center. Read more about the current trainers here.
The methods used at It's PAWSible! are positive, no force methods. Our method is called lure-reward training. It's similar to the training conducted by Dr. Ian Dunbar, DVM one of the founding fathers of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
Do we use clickers at It's PAWSible! Dog Training Center? The answer is: if you want to. I love clickers, but we don't use them in our group classes as I find that the lure/reward method is very effective and many beginners don't want that extra tool to think about (the clicker). If you want to learn how to use a clicker, we have classes to teach people how to use them or I can teach you how to use one in a private session.
My most important dog training school actually followed Connecticut K9: That school was in the form of my adopted Doberman, Makana. Makana lived to be 13.5 and he passed away in January of 2009. Makana was only 1 year old when I adopted him and he was so much work! But that work was excellent schooling for me. I learned so much from working with him as he had lots of issues like fear aggression, over stimulation issues and basically, he just didn't care at all about pleasing humans. I had no idea when I got him what I was signing up for! But he turned into the most incredible dog and companion. We both learned so much from each other. You can read more about Makana here.
In 1999 we added our premier Dog Day Camp. Back then, no one in this area had anything like this. Wayne (my husband and business partner) and I traveled all over the east coast looking at what was then a unique dog service. Since then, dog day cares have opened all over the country and even locally. I feel It's PAWSible! still offers the best, safest, cleanest, and most organized dog day care in the area! We are fully staffed with caring people and our clients' dogs' safety is our number one concern.
In 2002, I started competing in competition agility with Makana. Soon, I also had Treasure and Phlip and I still enjoy competing in agility, which became a real hobby many weekends a year. My dogs have all earned many titles in AKC, NADAC, and CPE. Earning titles is great, but just competing with them is so much fun. I just love it.
Agility also led to Rally O and Competition Obedience. I enjoy those dog sports as well.
In 2005, the It's PAWSible! Five Week Pet Dog Obedience Training Course on DVD was added to the list of available services. This is a huge accomplishment as this Dog Training DVD is sold all over the world on our website and also Amazon.com, Ebay, and many other private stores. We have added many products since then so our shopping cart has lots to offer the pet dog enthusiast. It's also nice to add our Dog Training DVD to our local training classes as it's just one more tool for the people who need help training their dogs!
In 2009, we added a limited boarding service in our home! This service is limited only to dogs who attend or classes or daycamp. This service has been appreciated by many of our clients and we continue to get busier and busier with our boarding.
In March 2011, I took the Certification Exam through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I passed! I am now a Nationally Certified Professional Dog Trainer—Knowledge Assessed, CPDT-KA. So I have two certifications to back my education and experience. To date, I have worked with thousands of dog owners both in classes and privately.
In December 2012, came our Mobile Grooming Service! This was a huge undertaking on our part especially seeing we had no groomer! I stepped in as I love grooming and groomed many dogs well.

Ok, let me give some background on my little froggy friends before I ask my questions. My sister gave me her 2 D. azureus. She was feeding them fruit flies 3-5 times per week with the Herpivite sprinkled on every meal. Since reading so much conflicting information during my research, I haven't been adding any supplement to the fruit flies. I figured it's better for them to get just naked fruit flies than to get a supplement that can harm them. I have had my little frogs since 7/2.
Question 1: I am very confused about the phosphorus in supplements. Some sites(and the guy at the reptile specialty store) say they shouldn't have any phosphorus at all. But the supplement I've been recommended Rep-cal Herpivite has a calcium to phosphorus ratio or roughly 2:1. What is the proper calcium to phosphorus ratio? If no phosphorus is best, what supplement would you recommend instead of the Herpivite?
Question 2: My frogs were only getting the Herpivite and no calcuim/D3 supplement at all. Is there any danger in just starting them on the calcium/D3 or do I need to ease them into it since they haven't had it before?
Thank you and may the Fourth be with you!

[Last Edit: 4/18/2012 11:02:40 PM by SuperSet72]
AAR for 3-Day Carbine/Pistol Training 7 - 9 Apr 2012 It all started in this forum with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8qH9jOZxTc Weeks of looking for the next level class and my search was finally over, I found the guy. I sent this link to my shooting buddies and my inbox started filling up with stuff like 'I like his ability' and 'I must train with this guy!'. A competition shooter and SF soldier, both requiring an intense commitment to excel, and he was training others to excel. Count me in. So, when this 3-Day class popped up, we started making travel arrangements to Alabama. One of the first things you'll notice about Frank is his cool, confident and easygoing manner. His vocabulary largely consists of 'man', 'dude' and 'awesome', which makes me suspicious of his Southern roots. There is some California in there somewhere. An important point because from some other courses I've taken, the instructor's demeanor sets the tone for the course. If they are open to questions, you'll be more likely to ask questions and learn from their experience. And ask we did! And this is what sets Frank apart from other instructors that I've trained under. As a USPSA Grandmaster, we could be talking about split times, target transitions and position setup one minute and in the next, we'd talk to the Tactical side of the house about CQB tactics, gun takeaways, and one arm weapon manipulations. If he knew it, he shared it with you. And one thing that really impressed me is that he was constantly learning. For example, we'd be working a standing barricade drill and my buddy asked if he'd seen a certain way to standing brace a rifle and after demonstrating it, Frank started practicing it right there and said he'd test it out to incorporate it in future training. When I saw that, I thought 'this is the reason why he excels in both the Competition and Tactical world.' He's always open, testing, and incorporating new techniques and subsequently, passing it onto his student whether they are competing at the highest levels or deploying with SF teams overseas. If you look at his website, you'll see 2 words that stick out - ACCURACY and AGGRESSION. Every drill is built on this foundation about delivering accurate, aimed fire in a hurry. If you don't learn to do this, as Frank would say 'it'll cost you something, time or bullet holes'. The pace of the class is quick so you should anticipate spooling up at the same rate. Even though it's a Level 1 course and there will be dedicated time to discuss, practice and receive coaching on the fundamentals, I'd encourage you to take a basic handgun and rifle class and start shooting some Competition before coming to this one. You'll spend quite a bit of time shooting on the move, reloading, reading sight pictures, smoothly pressing triggers and repeating as necessary. And you'll do it quickly, with volume while measured to an accuracy standard. I felt uncomfortable at times and that was good thing. My only regret is that he lives on the other side of the country so you fellas that live in the SE, need to look him up. You have an excellent training resource available to you at an affordable rate and you don't even have to board a plane. Trust me, take his class before he gets really BIG. I have some video from the class on my YouTube channel at the link below so check it out when you get a chance. Thx for taking the time to read. SuperSetCA YouTube |

Headed out to check on some drapes in Whippoorwill, then had to keep going in the sunshine and relative warmth! No more Walking on Water; the little waves are lapping the shore again, and with the flora sort of winter bare I can see clear up to Pinetops, Cobblestone and Topside. A little audio added by Adam and Colby, taking the chain saws to some fallen trees near the first bend coming in. What else? Marcia's meeting with bride Anna and her mother to choose flowers for her upcoming May wedding. So many beautiful details to think about!
Look at the dashboard on my computer screen. Can you believe it? Is this a good excuse to go out with the kids tonight and celebrate Maine Restaurant Week? Sure!

I guess its my turn to add to this on going problem. I ordered and received by thinkpad back in September from Lenovo but after being told it would be a few weeks for them to ship it and reading posts about Lenovo's changing promise ship dates, I ordered 1 from Provantage w/64GB memory. I received it early October and was very pleased with appearance and performance. However, within a few weeks I too began to have issues with charging the Tablet, but as I was away for training for 2 months in Oklahoma I assumed it was the charger not the USB port. Lifting the cable near the Tablet's charging port did not inconvience me that much at the time. This problem was intermittent rather than constant.
Today, I have had enough of the charging problems and after trying 2 other micro USB chargers I finally called Lenovo for service and repair. I thank all of you who blazed the trail with customer support in getting Lenovo to recognise that this problem exists and is not due to customer abuse.
I was told that a shipping carton would be sent out today and that I should receive it tomorrow. I asked how long it would take to get my unit repaired and returned to me and was quoted 5 or 6 days after receipt. Not happy with that length of time doing without my $650.00 tablet but have little choice at this time.
I wonder if they could install the 3G option in this tablet as it was touted as upgradeable in the initial literature touting the features of the device? Some people have had their tablets replaced rather than repaired so I would like to know if I would be advised of a replacement tablet being returned rather than my original new one. Anyone know how that process works and why some tablets are replaced rather than being repaired?
My case number for the repair is A02KV65 and I will keep the forum advised of how long it takes to get the repair done, and if a problem crops up over warranty issue or not. I have taken pictures of the unit's USB port and of the tablet front and back to prove that it is in the same undamaged, shiny perfect condition as when I first received it.
I hope that I am the last person to report this problem but suspect that I won't be. I really like the shape, size and capability of this tablet and only wish that Lenovo had performed more extensive batch testing prior to release as this would have revealed the problem and saved everyone the grief and cost of this issue.
01-19-2012 05:29 AM - edited 01-19-2012 05:31 AM
Yes, you are not getting the tablet back in 5-6 business days.
Mine will have spent 19 business days with Lenovo by the time they will ship it back from what it sounds like.
Not really a repair speed they can be proud of.
As I was overseas in Bangkok, and travel there regularly, I picked up another one there just to have with me.
Interestingly the sales content package there is better than the one I got in the US. Inside the brown cardboard box my TPT was in a nice sleek black Lenovo retail box, the sales package came with the folio case, and the pen came with 2 replacement heads for the pen. 3 things that the one bought in the US did not have.
Thanks for your input on whether I will get the Thinkpad back in t e5 or 6 days they advertised for this repair. They received the unit on the 21st according to their web site. This is a saturday so I will not count that day but will count from M-F week days only to see how long it will take.
So far the only problem other than having a bad USB port issue, is they misspelled by first name. Surprised they didn't check and compare with the registered information on file with the tablet. Typical failure to cross check the serial number and registered owner records on file within their own organization with incoming repairs to ensure that the repair information matches up with the registered owner information.
If I ever lose or have this stolen and it is sent into Lenovo for service by someone else, I doubt that the unit would be returned to me, or at least an attempt to contact me would be made about the repair or service of it. Perhaps an improvement in there service process might be to cross check registered owner information to the serial number to verify who is the correct owner.
I totally agree with this post,, I was having similar issues and I also have the same feelings about a device designed for the business sector.. What is wrong with lenovo lately is all I ask.. At least there are some people with a head on there shoulder and understand that its a BUSINESS machine. Great post BTW
Well I got my Thinkpad tablet back yesterday after 8 days. They changed the system board and the USB port seems much tighter than before. Had to reload all my data, files, movies, music, etc......
Operating system and display seems much different. I play movies on this device now and the quality doesn't seem as good as before. Also the sound is much fainter than before, and it was already weak compared to some other tablets I had looked at before this purchase.
I'll load some other movies and check the sound and picture quality to verify that the new system board isn't as good at graphics and sound before I complain and schedule another repair on this.
Other than that, the e-mail notifications on repair status, prompt next day shipping of repair carton and repaired unit back to me was what I would expect for a reputable company servicing a product for this price.
One thing worth noting is that they misspelled my name on the repair ticket and apparently never compared the unit serial number to the registration data on file with them to verify my name and proper ownership. Also, I did search for a way to contact them about the repair and correct the spelling of my name so that their repair records would reflect the registration data I submitted but could not find a way to do this. Part of the reason I was trying to contact them was that I also wanted them to install their 3G card into the unit and to bill me for it.
Bottom line, I could not find a way to contact them to correct the name or add the 3G card. They need to work on improved repair contact information so customer's can reach the repair center to leave at least a note or comment and hopefully get a response back to the customer.
A week after receiving my TPT back from Power-button-repair I now have to send it back to Germany (from Norway) to have the USB port repaired.
Hi, everybody.
I recently bought a Thinkpad Tablet, which is an excellent tool. I highly appreciate it.
But I have a problem that I identified only this morning : it seems that the micro-USB connector "wobbles". Thus, when I connect the micro-USB cable, the
"AC-charging" icon appears in the system bar but sometimes turns back to the blue (non-AC-charging) battery icon.
When I say that I identified this problem only this morning, I mean that the battery was always low, even after I charged it for 2 or 3 hours. In fact, I thought that the battery was charging on AC-adapter, but the adapter did not charge it at all.
I don't know if the problem comes from the tablet or from the cable connector.
I'll call the french support team tomorrow.
Did this problem already happened to someone ?

Hi everybody,
thanks for this link. It is exactly the problem I have with the TP Tablet.
I would like to add something : I consider that micro-USB connectors are a weak point of all devices, (I have the same on my smartphone).
Thus, I never use the tablet with the USB AC adapter plugged, and always work with the tablet on battery. Same for my Tablet-Thinkpad T61p exchanges : Bluetooth and WiFi are better than a physical cable.
I connect the AC-adapter only when the battery is too low. (A regular charge-discharge procedure is IMO better for battery life). And whenever I can (I.E. most of the time) my tablet is off on the desk during battery loading cycles.
Generally speaking, these micro-USB connectors seem too tiny in comparison with the cable's weight. I insist : it's a weak point of all micro-USB devices.
Two suggestions :

It looks like the John Labatt Center (JLC) in nearby London, Ontario, will once again be the place to be for a wide variety of entertainment during the month of May. From concerts to Broadway and everything in between, the major events just keep coming to downtown London!
May gets off to a rocking start with Bryan Adams in concert at 8 p.m. May 5. Live Nation is thrilled to announce Adams' first Cross Canada Tour in more than 20 years! This tour marks the grand return of his full-band, arena rock show, alongside his longtime guitarist Keith Scott, drummer Mickey Curry, keyboardist Gary Breit and bassist Norm Fisher.
The world's premier figure skating tour, "Stars on Ice" visits the JLC for a 4 p.m. show on May 6. In 2012, the "Stars on Ice Love 'n' Life" tour gets a new infusion of creativity from legendary skater Kurt Browning, who will co-direct and choreograph this year's production! The tour features a stellar cast of world-renowned athletes, including Browning, 2010 Olympic Gold Medalists and World Champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (Canada), 2010 Olympic Bronze Medalist Joannie Rochette (Canada), and Olympic Bronze Medalist and World Champion Jeffrey Buttle (Canada).
Music will fill the air again when Juno Award winner Johnny Reid brings his "Fire It Up, Let Love Live Again Tour" to the stage at 7:30 p.m. May 8. Also scheduled to perform is special guest Carolyn Dawn Johnson.
Cirque du Soleil comes to town with its critically-acclaimed "Dralion" performance from May 16-20. Thrilling more than eight million people worldwide since the show premiered in 1999, "Dralion" is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus traditions and the avant-garde style of Cirque du Soleil.
To close out the month, Broadway in London presents "Young Frankenstein" at 7 p.m. May 27. You certainly don't want to miss this "blissfully funny monster mash."
For more information on any of these events, please visit www.johnlabattcentre.com. The JLC is located at 99 Dundas St. in beautiful downtown London. And, for helpful information on planning a quick getaway to London, please visit www.londontourism.ca.

Product Reviews
Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray from the Forte Collection
Very disappointed
We purchased what we thought was going to be a nice faucet. After a little more than a year the side sprayer did not work properly. The plumber has replaced one part and now I am waiting for the second part to be delivered, hoping that it will work. I would not recommend this faucet and probably not Kohler products again if this does not fix it and I am responsible for the repair.
October 13, 2011
This is the worst faucet I ever had, starts leaking every other year / kohler does not stand behind product / was told by cust service that after the second time I had to repair it that if happened a third time that they would replace it with a new one.When called for replacement was told that the problem would have to happen three times in a year.also that it had to do with water deposits,funny that the faucet I replaced it with was 15 years old no problems .also no problems with any other faucets in my house.

Leaks after 11 months!
Paid extra for what I thought was superior quality. Now, after only 11 months, it leaks out the top every time we turn it on.

Great product, great seller
I have to replace the faucet for my stainless steel sink with 4 holes. Spent a lot time on your web site and considered some more expensive faucets, but decided on a middle-of -the-road model from a reputable brand name.
The shopping experience and delivery are excellent. Many choices of finish to chose. The faucet looks great in stainless steel and easy to install without a hitch. It is working faultlessly, for about 2 months now. The unit feels solid and well built. The price is reasonable, by the way, no shipping cost. Excellent company, please keep doing such a good job. I am glad I did not go a big box store.

To God the only wise, Our Savior and our KingAuthor: Isaac WattsTune: ST. MICHAEL (Genevan) Published in 329 hymnals |
To God the only wise,
Our Savior and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
'Tis his almighty love,
His counsel, and' his care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.
Then all the chosen seed
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.
To our Redeemer, God,
Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs.

Today the San Luis Obispo County supervisors voted 4-1 (Supervisor Mechum opposed) to allocate funds for appraisals, title searches, phase 1 environmental assessments, and other data related to the possibility of purchasing the bike path parcels in Edna along the Juan Batista de Anza Trail route. This is great news. HOWEVER… they also stated that they would only pay a minority share of the cost of these parcels rather than the full amount as recommended by the Parks Commission. So this means that parties interested in seeing this bike path come to fruition… like me… will need to fundraise to the tune of approx 225k. (a bit more than half of the property cost.) They have the right to do this… times are tough at the county… so I understand… but I don't have to be happy about it.
So we have our work to do… and the various advocacy groups are proceeding now with the options available for obtaining the funds we didn't know we were going to have to raise until today. We have approx 4 months to do it so it will be a real push.
I guess I should try and remember… this is California… soon the state will be telling drivers that if they want roads without potholes… then get some asphalt and a shovel and go fix them yourself.
We somehow seem to have plenty of state funds around for more prisons though… end of rant.

The official name of the school changed in the course of its history. Eventually, in 1933, when it was officially accredited by the Nanjing government's Ministry of Education, it was called Tianjin gong shang xue yuan, which in English documents of the time was rendered as "Tientsin Kung Shang College." But in its first years, the school's official name was not a Chinese but a French name, L'Institut des Hautes Etudes Industrielles et Commerciales de Tientsin. The school was a French school in China, not a Chinese school founded and maintained by French priests. It was by socializing Chinese into French culture—and preparing them for jobs in French-run government or commercial agencies—that the Jesuits hoped to separate them from their non-Christian Chinese world and bring them into the hierarchical embrace of the church.
In 1919, the papal encyclical Maximum Ilud had warned missionaries about the dangers of identifying their faith with their country, [11] but the French Jesuits in the 1920s still resisted the warning. Ever since the mid-nineteenth century, the French government had been the official protector of Catholic missions in China, using gunboats if necessary to defend the right of Catholic missionaries to evangelize, and expecting in return missionary support for French imperialistic interests. In the mentality of the French Jesuits, it seemed indeed as if God spoke French. In a publicity statement (probably written for the French press) issued from the school in 1924, its first year of operation, the Jesuits emphasized the role of the French language in their curriculum: "Of six hours of class every day, three are devoted to French…. The assignments in the other courses tend gradually to be done in French. Later the courses in the upper division [facultes superieures] are given in French. As a matter of fact, in all of north China, the Institut des Hautes Etudes is the only French establishment giving secondary education to Chinese students."[12] This was important as a counterweight to the predominant influence of "Anglo-Saxons" in north China. "In the big cities of the North, there are a number of large educational establishments directed by Anglo-Saxons. The American influence is considerable…. English is extremely prevalent in the ruling class. A course in English is obligatory in middle schools; in the Universities, teaching is given in English. French is being placed on a lower level."
The press release concluded with an appeal for French government subsidies: "An enterprise like this cannot be crowned with success without the help of the French government…. Obviously we do not seek any personal profit. It seems good that this work is to the great benefit of France." The Far Eastern branch of the French Chamber of Commerce stated what kind of benefit was envisioned. French business in China needed Chinese managers and engineers who could speak French and were familiar with French ways of working. And the French commercial attaché in China wrote, "Above all, the best agent of French propaganda in China is a technical school of French education," just like the one the Jesuits were establishing (emphasis in the original).
Of course, the ultimate purpose of the school was not supposed to be political or commercial, but religious. As the Jesuits saw it, the main problem with the Anglo-Saxon schools was that they taught Protestantism. The Protestants were making a huge effort in Chinese higher education and had gained a great deal of influence in government establishments. Although they had achieved "minimal success in terms of changing hearts," they had gained "considerable…prestige among the learned classes." Unfortunately, however, "among the upper classes, Catholicism seems to be the religion of the poor and ignorant, in spite of its brilliant role under Kangxi. It is essential to demonstrate to people who take legitimate pride in their ancient civilization and who prize new progress that the Catholic religion is capable of surpassing every other religion in the domain of spiritual culture and moral formation." Besides counteracting the unfortunate influence of Anglo-Saxon Protestants, the school was urgently needed to defend against the even more baleful influence of secularism. The state universities were having a "deplorable influence on the future leaders of China." "Atheism, rationalism, Bolshevism—every sort of unfortunate fruit is found in the new education."[13]
As early as 1910, the Jesuit superior of the province of Champagne had visited Xian county and recommended the creation of such a school. Instability in China and the world war in Europe delayed these plans. But by 1919, the Jesuits received a charge from the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (Propaganda Fidei) to construct an institution of higher learning in Tianjin for children of the upper classes (pro filiis nobilium). The need now seemed urgent. The influence of both Anglo-Saxon Protestants and secularist Chinese had increased since the Great War.[14]
Thus, the Institut des Hautes Etudes was finally established on Tianjin's Racecourse Road in the autumn of 1923. Although commonly called "Hautes Etudes," the school actually began as a college preparatory upper-middle school and then expanded to include genuine higher-level education, housed in a handsome stone building set in a neatly tended, walled-in campus. In the school's first year of operation, the student body consisted of fifty students, all but three coming either from "Mandarin families" or commercial and banking circles. "Our vision," wrote the Jesuits, "is to attend to the intellectual elite of the country."[15] In practice, they seem to have identified "intellectual elite" with "social elite."
Established concurrently was the Institute of Research in Natural Science, staffed by Frs. Licent and Teilhard de Chardin and including the Beijiang Museum of Natural History. (In a conference held to celebrate the establishment, Teilhard lectured on a special research project he was carrying out for the museum in collaboration with French scientific circles.)[16] Although Fr. Licent said that the students of the Institut de Hautes Etudes would be the primary beneficiaries of the museum and research institute, the students in fact seemed to have had rather little direct relationship with the latter. Frs. Licent and Teilhard did not teach classes in the school. Although students who were studying geology could
The academic structure of the school was thus hierarchical in a way that reflected the logic of the church's religious hierarchy. At the top was a research institute, staffed by committed Jesuit priests, that was engaged in pioneering dialogue with the most advanced levels of secular scientific thought. Under this was a school whose students and faculty had little contact with the potentially heretical ideas being explored by the institute. The Jesuits at the research institute patrolled the boundary between the church and the world and potentially even risked their faith in the process. Underneath them, less advanced students were kept segregated from such dangerous activities while benefiting from the intellectual shelter provided by their superiors.
The "Catholicity" of the Institut des Hautes Etudes was assured by the composition of its faculty—six French priests, one Italian layman, and four Chinese alumni of the Jesuit Aurora University in Shanghai. The initial student body was not so predominantly Catholic, however. Only about one-fourth were members of the church. In accordance with Vatican regulations, the Catholic students lived in a special dormitory and even used a study hall separate from that of the non-Catholics, although Catholics and non-Catholics attended classes together.[18] The school thus protected its Catholics from the world by providing a place where they could be segregated from non-Christian influences under the watchful eye of the Fathers—but one in which they could also be prepared to engage with the world by interacting with a relatively safe buffer population of fellow students who were non-Christian but Francophone and presumably Francophile.
Besides French, the curriculum contained the standard courses of a European-style upper-middle school: mathematics, philosophy, physics, geography, Chinese literature, design, and typing. As the school expanded into higher education, it specialized in business management and a variety of types of engineering. The only place where Catholic teaching might be directly inserted in the curriculum was in the philosophy course, which dealt—it seems in an orthodox, Catholic Thomistic fashion—with "liberty, responsibility, conscience, and moral practice."[19] The view of the French Jesuits seemed to be that what constituted a Catholic education for upperclass Chinese was not mainly the content of the curriculum, but the formal structure of the institution within which the curriculum was enacted. It was hierarchical, with priests at the top. It was French, with people of French nationality in charge and with most of the non-French faculty members having been educated in French universities. Moreover, the French language was at the center of instruction. The Jesuits seemed to assume that even without imparting
The most important sign that students were being receptive to that true faith would be that they converted to Catholicism. Only a relative few did. The first convert was baptized in 1927, three years after the school was established, and after that, even as the numbers of students expanded to over a thousand, only a handful of students were baptized every year. (Overall, however, about 25 percent of the student body was Catholic, mostly from old Catholic families around Tianjin. This was a higher percentage than the percentage of Protestants in typical Protestant universities.)[20] But even though most students remained non-Catholic, the Jesuits still pointed to the school spirit as evidence that students were being influenced for the better by the Catholic faith. One of the most admirable characteristics of the students, the Jesuits thought, was their docility: "The work is serious. Discipline is imposed without difficulty. We like the students' docility, their good spirit, their respectful deference to their teachers."[21]
During the nationalist movement of 1925, the students at the Institut des Hautes Etudes remained calm and refrained from participation in the agitation sweeping intellectuals throughout the country. This quiescence set a standard for the school. Students from the Institut des Hautes Etudes refrained from actively participating in all of the great movements in the Republican era. In college yearbooks, the students themselves expressed pride in this lack of activism. Even for non-Catholic students, it was a mark of the well-disciplined character of their school.
In its very institutional structures, then, the Institut des Hautes Etudes embodied a common early-twentieth-century European understanding of the nature of the Catholic faith and the mission of the church in the world, a vision of faith and mission that was firmly rooted in sixteenth-century Counter Reformation theology. In that vision, Catholic faith and practice were virtually identified with submission to a clerical hierarchy. To bring people into the Catholic faith was to bring them under the scope of this hierarchy and cultivate within them the virtues that made obedience to hierarchical authorities easy. Furthermore, the faith was deeply identified with national Catholic cultures. In countries like France, where much of the population was abandoning Catholic practice, the Catholic hierarchy often identified the essence of Catholicism with those aspects of national culture that resisted revolution and modern social change.
In this vision, however, not all kinds of revolution and all kinds of modern social change were bad. A revolution such as had occurred in China might be good if it swept away conservative leaders who resisted being influenced by Christianity. Basically, revolution was bad if it diminished the power of ecclesiastical authorities, good if it opened the possibility of extending such power. Social change resulting from advances in science, technology, and industry was by no means bad in itself. The church supported institutions of higher learning such as the
Consonant with this vision, it was salutary to offer a clerically supervised higher education to filiis nobilium. The scientific parts of this education might enable them to contribute to the progress of their societies; the humanistic parts might enable them to provide sophisticated leadership in complex societies; the moral parts might nurture a spirit of noblesse oblige. But it might not be good to broadly offer lower-class people the same kind of education. The scientific and technological parts of such education might too quickly raise their expectations and make them dissatisfied with their place in life. The humanistic parts might confuse them and render them skeptical about the moral verities that sustained them within their families and communities.
As long as one accepts the hierarchical view of life central to Counter Reformation European Catholicism, the French Jesuits were not being inconsistent in promoting an antiscientific, unreflexive folk piety in Xian county and a modern scientific education in Tianjin. Different classes of people should have different kinds of knowledge, different levels of sophistication in the understanding of the faith. In fact, these very differences reinforced one of the most important bulwarks of the Catholic faith, a healthy respect for hierarchy.
Catholicism of the kind propagated by the French Jesuits in north China in the 1920s and 1930s was antimodern only in an ambivalent, ironic sense. It in fact helped develop some of the principal institutions of modernization—science, technology, and industry—and it encouraged its believers to contribute to the building of a modern Chinese state. At the same time, though, it maintained an unmodern ideology. Unlike mainline Protestantism or Deweyan liberalism or revolutionary Marxism, it did not encourage, in principle or in practice, a flattening of hierarchies, an approval of social mobility, or a generalized skepticism of traditional authorities. It accepted as natural the deep cultural differences between city and countryside. Its solution to problems posed by such differences was not to try to make everybody the same but to encourage everybody to be satisfied with their station in life. The poor were to be helped by the moral responsibility inculcated in the rich. As long as men were kept aware that they do not live by bread alone, all would be benefited by the material goods made possible through scientific and economic progress.
In the first stage of the existence of the Institut des Hautes Etudes, this traditional, hierarchical vision of Catholicism was seen as virtually inseparable from French culture, at least conservative strands within that culture. By the 1930s, however, a new stage in the life of the school began. The Republic of China was finally gaining enough strength and coherence to set the terms under which foreign educational institutions could work in China. The Institut des Hautes Etudes could no longer be a French institution on Chinese soil. It had to become a Chinese institution,
Under these circumstances, the Jesuits had to confront the question of how to preserve the Institut's Catholic character while discarding its French character. This involved refining their view of what were the boundaries between the Catholic community and the world. As they did so, their changing vision interacted with changing aspirations of the Chinese students who were attracted to the school.
