Pretoria - Happy Sindane, the young man who 10 years ago claimed he had been kidnapped from a white family when he was a little boy, was on Monday found murdered in Tweefontein near KwaMhlanga.
Mpumalanga police spokesman Captain Leonard Hlathi said his body was spotted by a passer-by who alerted police.
"It seems he had been stoned to death, but post-mortem results have yet to confirm that."
Hlathi said Sindane's family had identified his body at the Kwa-Mhlanga morgue. No motive for the attack had yet been established and no arrests made.
Sindane became a household name in 2003 when he claimed he was a white boy who had been kidnapped by black people.
At the time it was thought that Sindane was 16 years old but a four-month investigation, including DNA tests, indicated that he was to turn 21 the following year.
He was identified as Abbey Mzayiya, and it was established that his real mother, a domestic worker, was probably dead.
He decided to continue using the name Happy Sindane.
Sindane's cousin, Thomas Kabini, who lived with him in Tweefontein, said the last time he spoke to Sindane was on Thursday.
"He was in good spirits and happy," Kabini said.
Kabini said he was one of very few family members left and was shocked when he heard the news on Monday. "I went to identify his body. His head was badly hurt. The rest of his body seemed unharmed."
He said no funeral arrangements have been made.
ANC MPL Jacqui Mofokeng, one of the trustees of the Happy Sindane Trust – set up with money from Dulux after Sindane's picture was used by the company without his permission – said she last spoke to Sindane about two years ago.
"At the time he was working at a car dealership in Benoni. I asked him to give me the details of the dealership and the owner assured me he would look after Happy.
"The last I heard he was still working at the dealership. I have no idea how he got back to Tweefontein," she said.
Sindane was a "troubled boy", she said. He was very emotional and had to fend for himself.
"I've been in contact with his cousin (Kabini) and we will meet tomorrow (on Tuesday) to make arrangements for the funeral," she said.
Mofokeng said she had been in contact with an undertaker who offered to take care of Sindane's funeral free of charge. "It is important to give him a proper burial."
Mofokeng said most of Sindane's family members had died. He was living with his cousin and relatives of his former foster mother Betty Sindane.
Sindane faced so many challenges in his short life, she said, and "not knowing who you are and where you fit into society is not an easy task for anyone".
Mofokeng, who is also the spokeswoman for the ANC Women's League, extended her condolences to the family and friends of Sindane on behalf of the league.
Sindane's death had Twitter abuzz with messages of shock, disbelief and pity. Khaya Dlanga tweeted: "It's almost as if Happy was cursed. One tragic event after another. Then this."
Ntombikayise Phiri posted: "It wasn't an easy life… What a tragic life Happy Sindane has had. RIP"
Buhlebethu D tweeted: Happy didn't have a happy life at all
Hlathi said anyone with information on Sindane's death can call Vusi Mahlangu on 082 318 9894.

Amanda Vincent, NASCAR Correspondent
Since the phenomenon of tandem racing cropped up at NASCAR's restrictor plate tracks – Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway – the sanctioning body has made attempts at eliminating or at least cutting back on the two-car draft.
"We would prefer to eliminate tandem racing in the manner it exists today," NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said near the end of the 2011 season. "There is no question about that. We are working on rolling back the clock to traditional Daytona, Talladega races."
The next move NASCAR takes to break up the pair drafting that was joking compared to dating last season may be preventing driver-to-driver radio communications. This speculation began on Thursday, with tweets from NASCAR hinting at the possibility.
"On radio communication: #NASCAR is having and will continue to have discussions with the race teams about radio communication," according to a tweet from the official NASCAR Twitter account, @NASCAR."
With Twitter posts being limited to 140 characters, the sanctioning body used two-consecutive tweets to hint at possible communication changes.
"In particular, teams communicating between one another during events and expects to have a policy in place for the 2012 season."
Competitors will get a taste at whatever new policy NASCAR comes up with to combat the issue right off the bat, as the 2012 season will get underway at the restrictor plate track of Daytona in February with events including the 2012 Shootout exhibition event on Feb. 18 and the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26.
Teammates' talking to each other wasn't really a new aspect of Sprint Cup Series racing last year. Several of the larger, multi-car teams designed their radios so that teammates could converse during races, but the tandem racing that sprang up in 2011 took the concept to a whole other level.
During races at Daytona and Talladega last season, some drivers had as many as two dozen options of drivers to talk to during events. And in many instances, one spotter – typically the spotter assigned to the first car in a drafting pair – would actually spot for both cars.
Moves taken in 2011 to cut down on two-car drafting included changes to restrictor plates and cooling system modifications. Neither tactic worked, as drivers then perfected a method of drafting that involved the back car of each pair pulling over just enough to get air through the grill but not enough to significantly affect the draft.
NASCAR is mum on specifics of actions that may be taken in regards to radio communications at Daytona and Talladega, but all signs point that change is in the air.

Closing the Loop: Contained Liquid-Coolers from Corsair and NZXT Comparedby Dustin Sklavos on December 26, 2012 12:01 AM EST
Conclusion, Part 1: Corsair
With the results at our disposal, we can now evaluate each cooler on its own merits. The charts can tell us how good the coolers are at their jobs and how quiet they are, but it's also about price and value included in the package. This year's H80 boasts a major improvement over last year's in terms of both the fans used, but also the fan control, which is now a much more convenient software solution.
Corsair H55
Corsair's budget offering actually turns out to be one of its strongest. The H55 is as no-frills as it gets, but boasts a solidly performing fixed-speed fan and a respectably low price tag. You can have it for just $59, which is extremely competitive for a closed-loop liquid cooler. While no one would really argue that $59 is "cheaping out" on a processor cooler, this is nonetheless a good choice if you're on a tighter budget.
Corsair H60 (2013 Edition)
Unfortunately, part of the reason the H55 looks so good is because the H60 performs so poorly. The H60 runs $10 more than the H55 for an arguably better PWM-controlled fan and a somewhat lesser quality waterblock. In this corner of the market, there's really no legitimate reason to spend up on the H60 when the H55 performs as well or better for less.
Corsair H80i
The H80i is the other big winner in Corsair's lineup. While it's not an absolute killer in performance or in price, it does beat NZXT's Kraken X40 while being more compatible with different cases due to use of a thicker 120mm radiator and dual fans as opposed to the thinner 140mm radiator and single fan. You also benefit from the Corsair Link interface and software, which allows you to connect either a fan controller or an "i" series Corsair power supply to the waterblock and control them through the software. Corsair Link is much, much more robust than NZXT's solution, and Corsair has been steadily updating it since it appeared at the beginning of the year.
Corsair H100i
Inexplicably, Corsair's flagship dual-length solution is only able to at most achieve parity with the H80i. You can theoretically produce superior cooling performance by adding yet two more fans to the H100i, but you become increasingly at the mercy of your case's clearance, already an issue just by virtue of going with a dual-length radiator like this one. At the time of this writing, NewEgg is selling the H100i for cheaper than the H80i, so they may know something there as well. Either way, the H100i is a very hard sell when the H80i provides both better value and better compatibility.

schulmaster - Friday, December 28, 2012 - linkThe most aberrant result of this review, at least in my opinion, is how the H80 and H100 compare. Presumably similar 120mm Fans, but differing by a significant factor in cooling area, the H100 should not be performing at H80 levels under load, let alone below.
Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8HsjgtMzEg
Linus runs a test series, with the variable of 120mm Fan quality removed, using top-of-the -line cooling on all contenders; and the h100 unsurprisingly performs 15+ degrees better than the H80 under OC load. I don't know wherein the testing parameters, on either side, emerged the resulting discrepancy of this magnitude. However, I would diversify the bonds of my research before discounting the H100 as a pragmatic enthusiast cooling solution. Perhaps Linus' using of a real- world-esque environment, ie only average cable management in a closed chassis contributed? Reply
Foeketijn - Friday, December 28, 2012 - linkFor all the people who may be too enthusiastic about high end air coolers.
These things are harder to compare than you might think, in all the reviews I've seen it's all about the temp delta /Noise ratio. Funny thing is, a watercooler throws it's heat right out your case while a lot of warmth of your air cooler is circulated back to cool your heat-generator with preheated air. That's probably why almost every watercooler review has some comment about "why you should go for an similarly priced air cooler" and that being followed up by an actual owner of an watercooler (probably "closed loop" since the few DIY watercooler owners really understand the amount variables in hand) countering with his or her trial and having much better real life results.
A disadvantage is that the radiator blocks the airflow. So without the different fan in the equation there is less air going through your case. How much this shall impact the performance is strongly dependent on how much heat is being blocked (or how much heat is being produced not including the CPU and how much airflow is left)
Bottom line, comparing an watercooler (an air cooler with water as an heat transporting medium ; ) ) with an air cooler is almost impossible without testing several case builds and probably a really vague conclusion.
That being said, this is the right website for such an endeavor! An while I'm at it, I support the comments about missing some feedback about rotor noise and the 30 db floorlevel of the sound-o-meter. Great review tho, when you want to decide which CLWC to buy. Reply
Khenglish - Friday, December 28, 2012 - linkWhat were the fan speeds with the thicker radiators? The 38mm rads will need either push-pull or have high rpm fans to push the air through.
I would have liked to have seen performance with the IHS removed. Someone who decides to go with a water cooling setup is more likely to remove the IHS. It's well known that IVB has CPU die - IHS connection issues, and the variance between IHS quality among IVB's makes it difficult for people to compare their results to yours. Even with a good IHS, removing it still makes a big difference. The thermal resistance drop makes a big difference, especially when pushing the voltage and clocks. I lost ~5C when I removed the IHS from my 580 (1.25V). An IVB's gains should be even larger.
Your results are pretty terrible for liquid cooling setups, and it would be nice to know how much of that was due to the IHS, or if these liquid cooling setups just aren't very good. Reply
riottime - Saturday, December 29, 2012 - linki had placed 2 orders for the corsair h55 on newegg when this article appeared. :)
they just arrived yesterday. i put one on my tuban 1090t amd system (stock speed) and i5 3550 intel system (also stock speed). i got them mainly to reduce the system noise not to overclock my processors with. so far they're doing just that i'm happy to report. :P
the manual/instruction that comes with it is atrocious. i recommend going on youtube and search for 'corsair h55 install' before you start installing it on your system. Reply
TekDemon - Sunday, December 30, 2012 - linkI think you guys might have to check the mounting and test again because the H80i definitely shouldn't be outperforming the H100i assuming the H100i isn't defective. I mean, your own H100 vs H80 review has the H100 clearly winning and they're the same coolers minus the link.
I honestly would suggest double checking your mounting and testing with a higher heat load since a i7 @ 4.4Ghz and 1.4V hardly really shows the benefits of an H100. I would point out that in your previous review the CPU was clocked at 4.8Ghz. If the H80i still manages to beat the H100i then either Corsair has upgraded the fan setup on the H80i such that the push-pull is managing to beat out the H100's stock 2 fan configuration or there's just something wrong with your H100i.
I would also point out that the H100i can be upgraded to a 4-fan configuration while the H80i is maxed out in it's stock configuration, I have an internally mounted H100 (non-i) with 4 fans on it and it's probably about as high performing as you can get with an all internal compact setup. Reply
Reservoir_Dog - Sunday, January 20, 2013 - linkCannot understand the temp results, i mean, whats, 4.5 under load?
4.5 deg celcius??
With the H80i and a 2600K @ 4.2 ghz i get 60 deg celcius with the same test
So is it too hot then? Reply
chesbrougha - Thursday, March 07, 2013 - linkI have an X40 and it is not cutting it with a 3930k. I am thinking that it might be because I can't figure out how to change the profile as there is no mac software (install windows then change back to mac??). Anyone have any ideas?
I am thinking about changing to the H100i but think I will run into the same issues Reply
soulcipher - Tuesday, September 30, 2014 - linkApologies for digging up an old thread, however I joined as I wanted to share my experience with the product and the company. I'll be blunt and to the point. I am using NZXT X40.
The company lie about case compatibility. Their head of Tech Support has stated in an email to me they do not test these on any cases but their own. This makes their compatibility list totally false as I found out a few months ago. I am using an X40.
I have a Corsair Carbide 500R and their compat guide states rear placement. Their head of tech stated in an email to me he had the case in front of him, and it fits fine. It took me sending him a video and photos to admit he had 'got it wrong' and that it doesnt fit. They have offered no compensation, and advised me to chop my case up to make it fit. I based my purchase of my current case on the statements NZXT made regarding the compatibility. When I first got it, I assumed I was doing something wrong and dumped it elsewhere in the case. However for top placement, it doesn't provide effective enough cooling, it needs rear placement with ideally, a push/pull config, so when I went back and revisited this notion, I contacted NZXT regarding to see what was going on.
Disgusting customer service, and would most definitely never buy NZXT products again. For anyone saying i'm lying, i'll happily disclose the emails. The product works, its quiet and does an ok job at keeping the CPU cool, but they have lied about it being compatible and offer nothing to compensate for making people out of pocket from their false guidance.

The search strategy was
constructed by combining three concepts:
To identify the intervention
concept, since these new drugs lack a specific term in the MeSH® lexicon, we
used text word searching for the following text strings: imatinib or gleevec or glivec or
STI571. The disease concept was
implemented using the text word searching for gist or adjacent text strings
for gastro$ within two words of
stromal adjacent to (tumo$
or cancer$). This is designed to detect various spellings such as gastrointestinal stromal tumor or gastrointestinal stromal cancer or gastro-intestinal stromal cancer, etc. A published strategy, validated for
finding randomized controlled trials (RCTs), was used to identify prospective
clinical trials. This strategy is designed to find all prospective clinical
trials (maximize sensitivity), rather than to eliminate non-randomized trials
(maximize specificity), and so is appropriate for this study's goal of
finding phase II and III prospective clinical trials. Finally, the three concepts were
combined (Boolean "or").
The strategy was executed in MEDLINE® (1966 through September 2004,
updated February 2005) and limited to articles published in the English
language. The exact text of the
OVID MEDLINE® versions of the search strategy is provided in Appendix A.
Supplemental searches were conducted in International
Pharmaceutical Abstracts, The Cochrane
Library (Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Health
Technology Assessment22 database), American Society
of Hematology 2004 annual meeting abstracts database, and in the American
Society of Clinical Oncology 2004 annual meeting abstracts database. References lists of identified studies
and relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses were hand-checked. Additional articles not indexed in the
major bibliographies by September 2004 were identified through ongoing searches
and discussions with field experts and monitoring new sources.
Each citation identified from the search strategies was
evaluated according to the following selection criteria. Evaluations were performed by the
Inclusion criteria were as follows:
Patients: Patients
with unresectable or metastatic GIST
Interventions: Imatinib
(Gleevac™ or Glivec™ or [STI571])Comparators: Any
Study designs:
The following data were abstracted from included
studies: study design, population
characteristics (including sex, age, and diagnosis), eligibility and exclusion
criteria, interventions (dose and duration), outcomes assessed and results for
each outcome.
We developed data collection forms in Excel® (Microsoft®;
Redmond, WA) and summarized the data in evidence tables formatted like those in
a 2003 report from NICE.16
We assessed the quality of included studies by evaluating
elements of internal validity (e.g., randomization and allocation concealment;
similarity of compared groups at baseline; specification of eligibility
criteria; blinding of assessors, care providers, and patients) and external
validity (e.g., description of the patient population, similarity to the target
population of the report, use of highly selective criteria).
We used as a framework the quality assessment criteria from
NICE.16 These are displayed in Appendix B. They provide specific criteria for the
range of study designs used in this report including experimental studies,
cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series.
Point scores were allocated by assigning one point for each
quality category. There were a
total of 6 possible categories.
Quality ratings of "yes" to a quality criteria were assigned
1 point; no and unknown were both assigned 0 points. The last category, adequate description
of subseries, was not applicable to all studies. Hence, the total possible quality points
were 5 or 6 depending upon the applicability of the subseries category. High quality studies were those with
≥ 3/5 or 4/6 points.
Abstract quality was not scored.
In addition to the data abstraction and quality analysis, a
narrative description of study findings was prepared. Further quantitative analyses were
considered, but the available data were not adequate to support these.

Included in full-text review and evidence tables (N = 23)
The 23 included reports comprised 16 full reports and 7
abstract-only publications (Table 3). Study designs included two phase III
controlled clinical trials (ongoing, three abstract reports), five phase II
uncontrolled clinical trials (four trials in eight full reports plus one trial
in one abstract), and eight studies of other designs. Four of these studies with other designs
evaluated the role of surgery plus imatinib and four were investigating the
role of imaging techniques in predicting GIST outcomes. There were several sub-studies of the
phase II trials assessing predictors of GIST outcomes—one assessing
radiological predictors, four of tumor characteristics, and two of other
clinical predictors. All of the
adverse events data were derived from the four phase II clinical trials that
were published in full reports.
Quality of the studies varied by outcome category. All of the main imatinib efficacy
studies published in full were of high quality. Only one of the four imatinib plus
surgery studies was of high quality.
Two of the four molecular predictor studies were of high quality, with
one low quality study and one abstract.
Two of five radiological predictor studies were of high quality, with
one low quality study and two abstracts.
With the exception of the one abstract, all of the studies reported
other types of predictors were of high quality. In summary, study quality was generally
high, with surgical and radiological studies being the most suspect.
There are four completed high quality studies of imatinib alone for the management of unresectable or metastatic CD117-positive GIST (Table 4) involving a total of 1156 patients with GIST. The patient populations were nearly identical except for the studies by van Oosterom, et al. and Verweij, et al. (2001), which included some patients with non-GIST soft tissue sarcomas (STS). When described, 83-98 percent of patients had prior surgery, 33-71 percent of patients had prior chemotherapy, and 8-24 percent of patients had prior radiotherapy. The average age was 55 with a range of 18-83; 62 percent were male.
The completed trials comprise several different designs. The first is a mixed phase design with a dose escalation phase from 400 mg to 1000 mg and phase III follow through at 800 mg (total N = 40).6,45 The second is a randomized phase II with patients randomized to 400 or 600 mg daily (total N = 147).43,46,47 The third is a standard phase II design evaluating efficacy of 800 mg daily (N = 50).48 The fourth is randomized phase III with patients randomized to 400 or 800 mg daily (total N = 946).49 Followup lasted 9-25 months. There is one incomplete phase II trial reported in abstract form only.51 This trial appears to be a standard phase II with 135 patients (mean age 65, 70 percent male) receiving an unspecified dose of imatinib.
Tumor response was the most consistent outcome reported. In the completed phase II and phase III studies, complete response (CR) rates ranged from 0-6 percent, partial response (PR) rates ranged from 45-67 percent, and stable disease (SD) rates ranged from 19-47 percent. Overall response (CR + PR) was 49-71 percent.
Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), event-free survival (EFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were variably reported. Verweij, et al. (2004) had the longest median followup (760 days), and reported 1 year OS as 85 percent for either the 400 mg/d or 800 mg/d doses and 2 year OS as 69 percent for the 400 mg/d dose and 74 percent for the 800 mg/d dose (p not significant).49 Two-year PFS on that study was 44 percent for the 400 mg/d dose and 50 percent for the 800 mg/d dose (p = 0.026). The study initially described by Demetri, et al. in 2002 had a subsequent report by Heinrich, et al. in 2003 that reported median followup of 594 days.46, 47 The OS reported for all patients was 85 percent at 76 weeks, with a median EFS of 17 months.47
Two phase III efficacy studies of imatinib are currently ongoing. Both of these are published in abstract form only. Both compare different dosing regimens of imatinib. Blay and colleagues are testing continuous vs. intermittent imatinib dosing schedules52 and Rankin, et al. are testing 400 mg/d vs. 800 mg/d.53 Results are preliminary. The study of 400 mg/d vs. 800 mg/d involved 746 participants and reports 2-year OS at 78 percent (CI 73-82%) for the 400 mg/d group and 73 percent (CI 68-77%) for the 800 mg/d group. The 2-year PFS is 50 percent (CI 45-55%) for the 400 mg/d group and 53 percent (CI 47-58%) for the 800 mg/d group.
The only significant difference in outcomes identified between different dosing schedules was that seen in the Verweij, et al. (2004) study where patients on 800 mg/d have significantly higher PFS rates.49 Two studies have evaluated the potential to increase the dose from 400 mg/d to 800 mg/d in the setting of tumor progression at the lower dose. In a subsequent abstract report of the Verweij, et al. (2004) study, 220 of 473 patients on the lower dose of 400 mg/d progressed; 65 percent (143) crossed over to the 800 mg/d dose with 26 percent progression-free at one year.50 Toxicity required dose reductions in 31 percent of those who crossed over to the higher dose. In the ongoing Rankin, et al. phase III trial, 164 patients on the lower dose of 400 mg/d progressed; 54 percent (88) crossed over to the 800 mg/d dose with median PFS of 4 months and median OS of 19 months after crossover. The overall interpretation of these studies is that crossover is feasible with some tumor responses.
Four studies were identified that reviewed the role of imatinib in peri-surgical settings (Table 5) including neoadjuvant imatinib prior to planned tumor resection, adjuvant imatinib for tumors at high risk of recurrence after complete resection, and palliative imatinib after incomplete surgery. Only one of these was prospective (Bumming55), while the others were retrospective reviews of prospectively collected registry data. The summary finding from these small lower-quality studies is that neoadjuvant and adjuvant imatinib is feasible. The efficacy is still to be determined.
None of the studies reviewed reported formal QOL analyses. Only Demetri, et al. reported any outcomes that could be categorized as QOL.46 This study looked at the effect of imatinib on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (Table 6), comparing scores between baseline and 4 months. Some authors consider performance status to be a crude measurement of QOL.67 At baseline, 42 percent of participants were ECOG 0 and 19 percent were ECOG 2-3. This substantially improved after imatinib, such that at 4 months 64 percent of participants were ECOG 0 and 5 percent were ECOG 2-3.
0 = fully active
1 = restricted in strenuous activity only
2 = unable to work; up and about more than 50% of waking hours
3 = confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours
4 = completely disabled; totally confined to bed or chair
Adverse effects that are possibly or likely associated with imatinib for GIST are described in Tables 7a and 7b. The most common adverse effects are edema, nausea, and diarrhea. The edema is predominantly superficial, with some authors breaking this out to highlight the periorbital edema commonly described with imatinib. Few patients (< 36 percent) experienced any grade 3 or 4 toxicity at lower doses, and when they did this was predominantly hematological or hemorrhage (< 8 percent). These studies were often conducted in patients with bulky, advanced GIST, making it difficult to ascertain which adverse events were truly due to imatinib and which might have occurred due to the disease process itself. Toxicity was somewhat more common at the higher doses, with 800 mg/d being the most toxic dose fully described. These toxicities compare favorably to those of traditional cytotoxic agents.28,31,32
All reports on predictors of response or survival from the clinical studies of imatinib for GIST are shown in Tables 8-10. Response predictors were divided into three groups:
The most relevant predictors of response relate to the mechanism of action of imatinib (Table 8). Patients with GIST (presumably expressing CD117) were more likely to respond to imatinib than patients with other soft tissue sarcomas (presumably CD117 negative).48 Patients with identified c-kit mutations were less likely to progress on imatinib and had longer overall survival.59 Both exon 11 and exon 9 mutations positively influenced response to imatinib.47,59 Some other genetic predictors such as SPRY4 and MAFbx may be clinically relevant, but current studies are too small to make valid conclusions at this time.60
Early response on PET scan at day 8 predicted clinical response to imatinib (Table 9).61 Patients with positive evidence of response on day 8 PET had a 92 percent PFS rate, while those with no evidence of response had a 12 percent PFS rate. Studies of the differential performance of PET vs. CT were mixed, one suggesting PET was a more sensitive indicator of the presence of tumor and the other suggesting no difference between the two modalities. In the high quality study comparing multiple types of PET and CT, combined PET-CT was the most sensitive.62,63 This study was specifically evaluating the differential ability of the modalities to predict response to imatinib.62 Promising new radiological techniques are on the horizon, some of which may be more sensitive than CT (e.g., angio-echography with BR-1 contrast) and some of which may be as good as CT but less invasive (e.g., ultrasound with perfusion software).64,65
Other clinical factors associated with poor response to imatinib included poor performance status, lower doses of imatinib, renal dysfunction, and prior chemotherapy (Table 10).47,49

Nokes does love me…
On my two days off last week, Nokes and I got to go on walks in the morning before I started my day. It was nice to not feel so rushed to fit so much stuff in, and be able to take time to appreciate the small stuff like spending time with our Noksie.
But even those nights, I was up later than Sarah, and both of those nights Nokes came downstairs and laid down in my office until I went to bed. Sometimes I forget that he even likes me because of all the attention Sarah gets, but on days like these I remember.
I had another thought yesterday. Whenever we have a wet dew, Nokes doesn't really like to go out, doesn't like getting his sissy paws wet. But when Mimi is out, he'll go out anyway. But then he'll come inside and do crazy dog, sprinting up and down the hallways as many as 6 times back and forth. I wonder if it is to dry off his paws. Towards the tail end he'll start jumping on me and growling, which really sucks in shorts, but I had my thick bathrobe on and it hangs really low, so I let him go to town. "Do your worst you crazy clawed furball", so it was fun to play rough without too much worry of getting shredded.

When smartphones began exploding in popularity, many companies jumped on the mobile bandwagon and created branded apps to connect with their customers. For some, a mobile app created significant value for both the business and its customers. But many others simply created a mobile application because it was the popular thing to do at the time. And we all know that what's popular isn't always what's good for business! Before you get started with your mobile strategy, it's always important to take a step back and evaluate whether your company would truly benefit from a mobile app. Here are three things to think about before you take the leap.
Your customers are mobile
Take a good look at your core customers. Do you notice that they are frequently using their mobile devices as shopping tools while in store? Or perhaps the bulk of your website traffic comes from smartphone users. Sometimes it's clear that your customers are using their mobile devices frequently to engage with your business. Other times, a quick market research campaign can help you uncover some important data about how your customers are using their smartphones and tablets as shopping companions.
There's a customer service need
Do you notice that your customers are calling you frequently with similar questions about products or services that your business offers? If so, it may be time to think about developing a mobile application to help free up some time and close any gaps in your customer service. Not only will a mobile application provide customers with the answers they need quickly and easily, it will also help increase your productivity by lessening time spent on the phone. Countless companies are using mobile to help improve the customer service experience.
The benefits are obvious
Perhaps the most critical question any business owner should ask before taking a deep dive into mobile is whether their company or customers could actually benefit from a branded mobile app. This helps avoid the scenario of developing a mobile application just for the sake of having one. If the benefits aren't immediately clear, it may be a good idea to shift gears a little and invest your company's marketing dollars elsewhere. But if you are able to easily identify a need, then it could be a good move for your business. For example, let's say you own a busy lunch spot in a prime downtown location. Chances are, if you developed an application that allowed for mobile ordering, it would be used frequently by your customers! It would also help cut down on time spent in line and save you time during the daily lunch rush.
Have you been thinking about developing a mobile application for your business? If so, it's important to answer a few key questions before you dive in.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
I kind of liked the idea of a documentation forum where people could discuss and flesh out article ideas for the wiki. I know the point of wiki is to not have to do that, but I have very little confidence on my technical writing and sometimes being able to flesh out thoughts with others might help.
I find I spend a lot of time looking at textbook in search of something to contribute and it all seems to big for me to tackle when I have time (I'm in the ubernostrum camp. Writing is hard).
I also don't think a Forum dedicated to a documentation effort is necessarily a bad idea. I like davidm's thoughts on using it to bridge the forum and the wiki.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
I also wonder how the development team managed to do their initial programming and design, and coordinate with each other without documentation? You do comment your code and make function descriptions as you go I hope?
What you see is what you get. If we had more documentation, we'd publish it.
We all find chatty code comments unnecessary and cluttering. Well written code doesn't need heavy commenting, just light annotations here and there.
Though we're not going to clutter up the code with PHPDoc style @tags or big comment blocks, I'm open to the idea of extracting some information from the code. Early experiments here.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
not a critique, just feedback from a user:
- I use Textbook as a tag reference basically – what attributes can a tag have? where can the tag be placed? – I forget stuff, and appreciate this kinda clear and concise list
- generally I use the alphabetical tag list (don't much like the other categorisations) – could a link to that appendix go on the left-hand-menu? … and move info for 'authors/editors' to the bottom of the page
- apart from that, I've used some of the SVN / localhostin' info – but that's all
really like zem's dynamic tag generator

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
Hi guys, first up i just want to say that the Textbook has been a lifesaver for me many times over. like nardo, i use Textbook mainly as a tag reference. it's even got a permanent place in my bookmarks toolbar. There are other gems too, like how to move databases from one host to another.
I love Textpattern but I have been tempted by competition like WP many times just because of the documentation. it's more professional and that somehow gives the impression that WP is like a pro tool too. (luckily we know better). Anyway, my point is that a revamp is much needed not only to organise the documentation better but also to make Txp more accessible to newbies and those who are using it for mission critical projects, eg. client sites.
I would vote to keep Textbook on a wiki as i feel it works better as a collaborative platform where everyone can fact check and contribute. that being said, i have always found wikis to lack in implementation. i have tried using wikis a couple of times for my own purposes and somehow it always ends up stagnant. I guess it's just not intuitive for most people. So perhaps, Instiki with textile which we are familiar with may prove to be better for us.
Last of all, I think what's needed the most is organisation with the writers themselves. Perhaps destry could assign topics to particular writers. Before posting, a sub-editor will check the article for simple typos, grammer mistakes and mark it up in MediaWiki/whatever syntax. Then the article has to go through destry himself (the editor) or someone more familiar with the technical sides of things (like zem?) to ensure accuracy before finally publishing it. This is a 3-step process I have modelled on how news articles get written and published, and while it may be more work, but it is more structured and will provide the 'motivation' to write when an article has been assigned to a particular writer. Once published, the article is fair game and everyone can edit, fact check and add tips and tricks in the wiki.
sorry for the lack of coherence, just some ideas i want to squeeze off while rushing to leave the office.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
Just thought i'd chime in here too. Like Nardo, I use the Textbook solely as a Tag Manual. So, whatever direction you choose to take the manual, it would be nice if you kept the tag manual as it is now.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
Just want to pop in real quick and say Thank You to everyone who has contributed to this thread. All feedback has been greatly appreciated.
I suspect it's getting close to the point where whatever is going to be brought to light probably has by now, so I'm going to take some time and sift through all the feedback and produce a concise outline of the problems pointed out and match them with the various suggestions/opinions about what to do about them. I will also give some idea of where I think things might go based on looking at that outline, but I suspect there will be need for more fine-tuning questions, as well as another round of snowballs.
Anyway, just need a little time, hang tight.
@davidwang: Your thoughts are interesting, and though we probably won't implement them directly as described (I don't want to be assigning anything), I think there is something to be considered there that might tie-in with other ideas offered already, but I think it will rely on having this "Docs Planning" forum that has been suggested a few times or it probably won't have teeth. I'll elaborate later.
P.S. It's pretty clear by it's popularity that the Tag section is not going anywhere. The goal will be to make other sections of TextBook just as valuable over time.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
No don't mess with the Tag section. I use it as well. I think most experienced TXP users will only reference that section on a regular basis. They probably think they know what's in the rest. ;)

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
I find the tag section helpful too and I have sometimes kicked myself for not using it after discovering that a tag had a very useful attribute that I just assumed wasn't there!
In regard to the CMS vs. wiki argument, I think you could really use either, but the project would require some dedication, patience and organization (Destry can probably attest to this). Based on the fact that the Textbook project began as a wiki, I really hate throwing the baby out with the bath water. I haven't looked at Instiki in any detail, but that may be the way to go.
I would be happy to "throw my hat in" as a writer/editor, but I would really want to make sure there was a proofreading/editing phase with a small, capable and manageable group of people who are dedicated and organized. Let's face it: the TXP CMS is advancing very well because it has a strong, small core of talented and dedicated programmers (Alex, Sencer, Pedro, Dean, etc.).
Yes, the "community" is important too (identifying bugs, plugin support, feature requests, etc.), but an open source project only succeeds by having that strong core.
But programming and documentation writing are really two different things. I think good documentation requires a strong proofreading and editing phase before throwing it out there to the community at large. That is how you achieve a high level of organization. The community can still point out documentation "bugs" post publication, but I think many of those bugs can be stomped prior to the wiki publishing phase.
Maybe the solution isn't in jettisoning the wiki for a CMS, but using a pre-wiki tool for small group collaborative writing/editing. I'm just throwing this out there for consideration, but maybe we should consider something like Writeboard for a pre-wiki phase in documentation writing. Or find a wiki that has a CMS-like ability to post for editing/approval phases without going live immediately. I also like the concept of versioning.
Alex brings up a good point regarding the excellence of the PHP Manual; it might also be helpful to survey some other "best of breed" documentation projects out there to discover what works and what doesn't. I'll start poking around.
Update: Oops. I see that Destry has sort of closed the thread after reading his post above and most of my comments were already covered by another writer or two. Grrr. I'm always late to the party.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
That a wiki might not be the approbiate tool for TextBook was discussed just before Textbook was set up. I remember that very well. I noticed people hesitate to login and learn the wiki-langugage with many other projects. So an Instinki might be a better tool.
As well i would support the idea to set up a forum section for TXP documentation. Just for 2 reasons:
- only a minority is very active in this community. Many others only drop by, get some infos and disappear again. Most people never get the info that help is needed with documentation.
- documentation is pretty scattered (worldwide) – we need a place to communicate and bring info and people together.
Last but not least i like to make a suggestion concerning marketing strategy i made some good experience in the german txp community with. i kept on telling people: you get something for free and so i expect you to give something back – this is the Open Source policy, please keep that in mind
It may sound strange to the minority of you txp contributors, but you really have to sell an idea, bring the Open source policy into peoples mind and do not expect others to just contribute.

Re: [wiki] TextBook Issues (let's bring it together already)
Yeah, I really think a forum for "documentation planning" (or something similarly indicative) would be a really good idea. You might get more great requests for documentation like this, but in one central location, rather than all over the place. Plus, as indicated already, the forum could have stickies at the top, one for each main resource (TextBook, TxP Resources, FAQs, etc) that served as places for heads-up information for each respective resource. Many possibilities of use for such a forum.

No, thread's not closed, new ideas/comments are welcome, but I'm mainly seeing the same ideas getting repeated (more or less) so I thought I would start processing things.
Thanks again for everyone's input…and your patience while I sift things down.

The Pleasantville Trojan Girls Basketball Team fell in their 2015-2016 season opener last night to the Rockets of Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont 52-30.
The Pleasantville girls' basketball team looks to bounce back tonight on senior night at home against Southeast Warren after a tough loss on Friday night to Mount Ayr. This will be the second match-up of the year between these two teams, as Southeast Warren won the first game on January 13, 63-46. Kennedy Core led the way for Pleasantville in the first contest with 19 points. The Trojan boys have played some close games over the last few weeks, but have found ways to win and look to do the same at home tonight against the Warhawks. The Trojans have won their last nine of ten games and took the first meeting against Southeast Warren, 65-47. The Trojans have used solid team defense to force teams out of their offensive rhythm and transition offense has helped them during their late run towards the end of the regular season. Trojan boys' head coach Tom Wilkins says while it is senior night, they still need to be prepared for a tough conference game against a rival opponent. Both games can be heard on kniakrls.com with Garrett Knock and Tim Mount on the call. Pre-game starts at 6:00 p.m. with tip-off of the girls' contest at 6:15. There will be a delayed broadcast of twinbill on AM 1320 and FM 95.3 KNIA immediately following the Knoxville vs. Dallas Center-Grimes basketball coverage.

[29 July 2009]
The Philadelphia Inquirer (MCT)
PHILADELPHIA — As a baby, Ari Weinstein was mesmerized by light switches. By 2, he had mastered the family TV, stereo, and VCR and soon was taking apart mechanical toys. At 6, he disassembled an old computer, reassembled it, and rejoiced when it still worked.
Now 15, the Mount Airy, Pa., youth is the toast of the Internet. More than 1,100 followers track his techno exploits via Twitter.
Ari's latest feat — an online collaboration with six other inventive teenagers who have never met face to face — is the creation of software enabling Apple iPhone owners to download free, unauthorized applications.
More so than the others, Ari has not shrunk from the fame or the infamy of "jailbreaking." In hackerspeak, the term refers to circumventing the iPhone's restrictions in order to customize it for a multitude of other uses, from playing non-Apple games to accessing the Internet through a laptop.
The practice appeared shortly after the iPhone's introduction in June 2007. Ari and his confederates were able to jailbreak Apple's newest model, the iPhone 3GS, within two weeks of its June 19 release.
More than 250,000 people have gone to the Web site Purplera1n.com to download the programs that open their iPhones for modifications.
"It's really cool to have people using my software to do awesome things with their phones," said Ari, who is about to begin his sophomore year at Germantown Friends School.
Ari, who has consulted family friends who are lawyers, contends that providing unauthorized applications for iPhones is legal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
"My theory is that, basically, since I paid a lot of money for this device, I should be able to put any application on it," he said.
Apple takes a dim view of his argument.
The company, which last week reported third-quarter revenue of $8.34 billion, sells its own iPhone applications through its online App Store. It has filed documents with the U.S. Copyright Office challenging the legality of unauthorized iPhone applications.
"The vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones, and for good reason," an Apple spokeswoman said Thursday. "These hacks not only violate the warranty, they will also cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably."
A ruling by the copyright office is expected in the fall.
And if it favors Apple?
Simple, Ari said: "I will have to stop doing it."
He would not succumb to boredom.
He blogs under the name AriX at Ariweinstein.com, and has created Web sites and launched business ventures.
"I love seeing how things work," he said, "and I always have."
His parents, Ken and Judy Weinstein, have been juggling requests for local and national media interviews since the Wall Street Journal reported on the teens' software earlier this month.
They are not surprised that their son is a cybersensation. Ken Weinstein, a Mount Airy developer, recalls his late father, Norman, holding baby Ari for hours to flip light switches.
"Now it becomes apparent," Weinstein said. "It wasn't about the lights but trying to figure out how they worked."
Matt Zipin, a veteran technology teacher at Germantown Friends, is wowed by the teen's skills. When it comes to iPhones, he said, Ari is singular.
"I have seen kids who are really good — kids who are now at Microsoft and Cisco," Zipin said. "Ari is unusual in that his skill set is fairly narrow but really deep."
Ari got an iPod mini when he was 11 but thought he should be able to play more games than the four that Apple had installed. So he taught himself some programming to add extras.
In 2007, he was given an iPod touch — essentially an iPhone minus the phone — as a bar mitzvah present. Not content with the applications, he started tinkering.
"Once I got interested in iPods, it was not that big of a jump to go to iPhone hacking," Ari said. "It was natural for me to say I want this to do more than Apple has it do."
About the same time, he found someone who shared his techno passions.
At Germantown Friends, seventh-grade classmates had been telling Ari about a kid named Ben.
At Abington Friends, seventh-grade classmates of Ben Feldman's had been telling him about a kid named Ari.
They met at a bar mitzvah in April 2007 and were soon business partners.
"It was so unbelievable for both of us to be able to start mentioning things we both knew about but nobody else did," Ben, also 15, of Philadelphia, said.
Since age 3, he had been spending most of his free time on computers. "Ben is the kid who does not read novels," said his mother, Paula Weiss, a lawyer and Philadelphia deputy finance director. "He reads computer-programming books; he reads for information. He and Ari are kindred spirits."
Ben was not involved in the latest iPhone venture. But he and Ari had teamed up for a previous enterprise — software that opened earlier iPhone models and the iPod Touch. It was released online at iJailBreak.com on Oct. 14, 2007, and downloaded more than 1 million times; grateful users donated a few thousand dollars.
Ben "wrote a really good press release and sent it out to bunch of news sites on the Internet, and it just spread," Ari said. "I was really famous for a few days."
They used some of the contributions to start a business providing backup servers for Web sites. It folded quickly.
Corporations, Ari said, "would not trust a small business, especially one run by kids."
Their latest project is DeskConnect, a subscription service that will allow users to easily access home-computer files and whatever is displayed on the screen from laptops, phones, and other electronic devices through a Web site. Ben and Ari expect the Mac version, at least, to be ready for launch shortly after school starts in the fall.
"We always have new ideas," Ben said. "We're always figuring out new things we would use ourselves."
He and Ari know college is in their futures, but they haven't focused on it.
"I want to go into something computer-related when I'm older," Ari said. "But I don't know what yet. I'd love to own a business."
So would Ben.
"Every next thing we do is iteratively better and better. ... Everything is of a higher and higher quality with better business plans," Ben said. "My goal really is to be able to live off one of the things that Ari and I do."

- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 1.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- TAP's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.26 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.40, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- 44.20% is the gross profit margin for MOLSON COORS BREWING CO which we consider to be strong. Regardless of TAP's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 11.50% trails the industry average.
- The change in net income from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Beverages industry average. The net income has decreased by 4.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $82.90 million to $79.50 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Beverages industry and the overall market, MOLSON COORS BREWING CO's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet Ratings) -- Every trading day TheStreet Ratings' stock model reviews the investment ratings on around 4,700 U.S. traded stocks for potential upgrades or downgrades based on the latest available financial results and trading activity. TheStreet Ratings released rating changes on 99 U.S. common stocks for week ending June 1, 2012. 24 stocks were upgraded and 75 stocks were downgraded by our stock model.
Rating Change #10 Molson Coors Brewing Company ( TAP) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity, a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and deteriorating net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:

I just took up toucanman's offer. I had alot to say. This song makes me think of my sister , why she commited suicide, what that did to everybody around her. I thought that I had to be strong, I thought that I had to be the strong one everyone could count on. It's not easy, I see my mom break down crying when she sees snything related to her and I just have to sit their and hold it in while she sits their and weeps. At the same time this song makes me think of all the good thingsthat have happened to me. you just taught a stubborn 13 year old how to cry again,
Thank you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i have heared before another piano solo songs, but this surely, it's the best of all
good job, i'm still waiting an epic style song from you :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good Heavens
I started listening to this song expecting only the very best and read the description and then stopped. I started it over, turned out lights and monitor, closed my eyes as well, and listened and thought. I highly suggest it to everyone, including you MMD.
The beauty of this song lies partly in the fact that it wasnt written down. Just when you think you know where the songs going, it gently sways in an unexpected direction. And although some notes didnt seem m100% perfect, the movement of the song is entirely more important, and u hit that dead on.
But now dan i urge you to sit back, listen again, and read what these people have told you. I find it amazing that newgrounds has its own little haven where those of us that need to cry can cry freely, and can be consoled by kind people with good hearts. Its almost hopeful, not the song itself, but the community that has grown around your music. It makes me want to help people go through times that we all have or will go through later in life. Please, anyone that needs someone to listen or just to vent, feel free to PM me and I will lend an ear, because its a song like this that just says "there are people out there who could desperatly use your help" and maybe we should pay attention to that voice a little more often.
Thank you Dan. My gratitude is endless, and thankyou fellow fans, for creating the best online community I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

Hey Craig,
Thanks for the review and the insight into this piece. I did exactly what you said, and you know... it was enlightening. I agree the newgrounds community that has gathered around me has been different than I ever expected and I thank everyone who has ever listened to, reviewed or saved a song of mine. Good hearts is right.
Thanks to you too Craig, Always an insightful reviewer.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I was there
and it rocked :)
I know a piano far less than you as I was never raised on it - but to play with your eyes closed still seems impressive to me. You say you put all your woes into your songs and thats why they sound sad - its funny how different we are that way - I put all my happiness into mine and make mine sound delicate and fresh, like a breath of heaven. It would be cool if we could combine that somehow :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very smooth piece...
Yet again you proved that playing to destress oneself can produce astounding music pieces.
And while you're in that relieving process you hit every note where it should be. If you happen to record such pieces (as you did) you would be simply amazed what you've played.
I recall these awesome feelings several times myself where you try to relax and get away from every sadness . It gives me the chills every time I hear such pieces because I know what it feels like to play something like this.
keep up this awesome work!
btw.: The Piano sound is absolutley outstanding. Is it a real one?

Ferry woes delay passengers
Delayed passengers, many of them international tourists, booked on Strait Shipping's two Cook Strait ferries were the latest to be affected by Interislander's ferry woes this morning.
The Santa Regina was supposed to sail from Wellington to Picton at 8am today but was at least an hour late getting away.
It was a similar story for passengers booked on the Straitsman, which was to have sailed from Picton to Wellington at 8am.
The reason for the delays to Strait Shipping's timetable is that the Interislander line has had just one of its three ferries, the Aratere, operating in Cook Strait for the past two days.
The Kaitaki had been out of action since early Tuesday with a propeller shaft problem, and the Arahura is in dry dock in Auckland for routine maintenance work.
However, the Kaitaki sailed for Picton on a freight-only return sailing about 9.45am today.
Bemused passengers, many of them international tourists, had no idea what was causing their delays this morning.
Interislander spokesman Michael Flyger said the company was confident of having the Kaitaki back on its scheduled Cook Strait roster at 8pm.
Interislander's latest problems occurred when the Kaitaki suffered a coupling failure on a propeller shaft generator.
Problems became apparent in Wellington Harbour on Monday when the ship appeared to lose power about 9.30pm off Point Halswell while sailing from Wellington to Picton.
Temporary repairs appeared to have been made, and the Kaitaki then sailed to Picton and returned to Wellington early on Tuesday.
The ship's 8.45am and 8pm return sailings from Wellington were cancelled yesterday. The 8.45am return passenger sailing out of Wellington today was also cancelled.
The Aratere left Wellington for Picton at 7.39am today, meaning it would be an hour behind its scheduled 10.45am departure from Picton to Wellington.

Sienna Miller: 'Surgery is a no-no'
Sienna Miller believes happiness and contentment are keys to looking good.
Actress Sienna Miller would never want to resort to surgery to maintain her beauty.
The American Sniper star always manages to look great even though she has to balance a busy work schedule with parenting her three-year-old daughter, Marlowe, and in a new interview with the U.S. edition of Vogue, she admits she is trying to make a conscious effort to look after her skin.
"I just think beautiful skin is the best thing," she said. "I'm trying to be better at having facials and maintenance. I don't want to have surgery, so I just think you have to try and take care of what you've got."
When she doesn't have time for a facial, Sienna has some quick fix products, which help her look her best.
"There's a Burberry shading stick, which is really useful for light contouring on your nose and (cheekbones) and temples," she continued. "I don't really have big eye sockets, so I do it there. I always look better with a little bit of a tan, so sometimes I'll just cheat and put fake tan on.
"There's a Sisley one that's really good, and I've got a Bobbi Brown one and a La Mer one."
The 34-year-old somehow manages to maintain a decent work out regime around her parenting duties and filming schedule, attending yoga classes three times a week when she's in London and SoulCycle sessions when she is in Los Angeles.
While Sienna likes to exercise and eat healthily, she thinks there's more to feeling good.
"I really genuinely believe that you can do all the healthy eating and all the exercise in the world, but that people look their best when they are content in some way," she explained. "So the focus maybe should be less aesthetic and more like, 'How do I feel good and balanced and happy?'"

Best Uses
We needed storage for our clothes in our camper closets. We bought this product as it was easier then trying to put shelves in. This product worked perfectly! We easily set them up in seconds. This product is a good weight and would be very useful holding tools, toys, books etc.
Best Uses
The folding milk grate is high than the unfolding grates thus they provide additional space/height to carry things and when done they fold requiring less space and easier carrying.
Best Uses
I have used this modified milk carton a whole bunch since buying it. Camping and around the house. In the end, it will go into the back of the car or truck to organize stuff...out of the way until I need it. The only bad thing I can say about it, is that I wouldn't sit on it like I would an overturned regular carton...(use those lots around the campsite)
Best Uses
I purchased this item to use in my scrapbooking business, for transporting and displaying scrapbooking products. I love the design and sturdy construction, the extra depth, and the handles all around. But unfortunately, the 13" measurement is the OUTSIDE dimension, so won't hold my 12x12 products :-(
I would recommend this item -- just not for the purpose for which I intended it! (I'm going to use mine instead to carry painting and maintenance tools -- I manage rental properties.)
Best Uses
I use this folding crate primarily as a drop-in for my bicycle trailer. I have modified a kids trailer for cargo and utility use. Two of these crates, either folding or non-folding, happen to be a perfect fit for the metal basket that I have permanently attached to the trailer.
I don't use the foldable feature much but it is there if I need it.
I like the extra height.
I have used it for several months and it seems to be rugged and UV (ultraviolet) resistant. I ride most every day and leave it outside year-round so I will give it a good long-term test.
So far, so good!

Glory's Dadi rejects Newcastle offer
Perth striker Eugene Dadi has revealed he rejected an offer from defending premiers Newcastle Jets to re-sign with the Glory until the end of the 2009/10 A-League season.
Dadi has been a revelation for the Glory since arriving at the start of the season, netting 10 goals in 16 games in a successful strike partnership with speedster Nikita Rukavytsya.
Newcastle, eager to bolster their attacking stocks for their upcoming Asian Champions League campaign, were eager to recruit Dadi.
The former Ivory Coast international said he was tempted by the one-year deal put to him by the Jets but ultimately chose to stay in Perth, where his wife and son have settled in nicely.
"Hopefully, I'll play another five years with the Glory," Dadi said half-jokingly.
"It would be nice to finish here."
The 35-year-old will depart to Switzerland on Friday for a five-month loan deal with Swiss Super League club FC Vaduz, meaning he will miss Perth's final two games of the season.
Glory coach Dave Mitchell said Dadi's loan move to Switzerland was a win-win situation for both player and club.
"He feels it's better for his body to go play somewhere else and keep fit, it helps the club financially and it helps him financially, so everyone's a winner with this deal," Mitchell said.
"He comes back in June at some point, which is our off-season.
"He's been a professional for many years and he doesn't like having a four-month break, because normally in Europe you play 10 months in the season and our pre-season is rather long and he's not used to that."
The Glory will also be without Rukavytsya for the final two games of the season after the 21-year-old, who is contracted for next season, headed to the Netherlands for a trial with FC Twente.
"He's a good kid and hopefully he'll do well," Mitchell said.
"If he wants to move on the club will get reward for that and he'll have a professional career."
Dadi has been a crowd favourite since arriving in Perth and is set to launch his own clothing label in Australia when he returns later this year.
The Glory are also keen to capitalise on Dadi's marketing potential as the club attempts to boost crowd numbers, which have been below 10,000 for all but one home match this season.
"He's a bit of a character," Mitchell said.
"You just look at the guy and he's got style and the fans have embraced him, so that's great."
Although Newcastle were unsuccessful in their pursuit of Dadi, they have reportedly snared Glory defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley for the next two seasons.

One of the great remaining mysteries of ancient Egypt, the lineage of the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, may soon be solved, the country's antiquities supremo hinted on Sunday.
Zahi Hawass told AFP he has scheduled a news conference for February 17 in the Cairo Museum to unveil the findings from DNA samples taken from the world's most famous pharaoh.
In August 2008, Egypt's antiquities authorities said they had taken DNA samples from Tutankhamun's mummy and from two foetuses found in his tomb to determine whether the still-born children had been fathered by the boy king.
Hawass said then the DNA tests also would determine Tutankhamun's lineage, and whether the foetuses were the offspring of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenpamon, the daughter of Nefertiti who is renowned as one of history's great beauties.
