Thanks for the heads-up. Have seen other comments regarding the inferior materials in this strap. This closes the deal for me - NO CS straps for me!
Carry Speed Strap
This review relates to their recent model which has a 'Ball Head Nut' which slips into a cup like socket which in turn screws down over the ball to make a connection which swivels and is very secure. I say secure, and it would be if the head of the Ball Head Nut is machine & finished properly.
The strap is very comfortable albeit a couple of inches too short for my liking. I believe their manufacturing facility is in China. Anyway, this is where they ship from.
I bought the strap and then decided that I wanted another Ball Head Nut to leave permanently attached to another lens. This arrived very quickly but was flawed by way of not being machined properly. I informed the people at Carry Speed and sent them a photo of the defective item to which they replied...."nothing is perfect in this world" That was the saddest indictment of their business philosophy. I could not & would not trust my very expensive camera gear hanging on a faulty part. After all the one I received within my initial order was OK. After several emails back & forth they unilaterally decided to refund me the $20 USD. I never asked for a refund, I just wanted a replacement Ball Head Nut. I also wanted another buckle but was told they don't sell them separately; however some of their promotion videos show the buckle fitted in the position I required.
I am a professional freelance photographer living in the UK, a fact that I informed Carry Speed of. I also informed them that I had already been approached by several photographers wanting to know where I had purchased it. In addition, I also informed them that I would be at this year's Olympic Games and that it would have been a very good place for me to showcase their new strap. I just don't have any faith in a company who has no or little interest in seizing a golden opportunity to promote their latest product. I can't see that they will be in business for too long if they continue with this ambivalent attitude. What happens if I want a replacement part again? Will they send me something else that is defective and tell me yet again…"nothing is perfect in this world" I've lost faith in Carry Speed and will be buying Black Rapid from now on. This company has little or no interest once the sale has been made.

I'm a writer who stacks cat food for a living. It's true: I have a master's degree in creative writing, I've published two critically successful books and I get paid to replenish the shelves of my local food co-op with pet food, sponges and toilet paper. Nine days out of 10, I do it quite happily. On the 10th day, I ask myself, Am I going to work in a grocery store forever?
I can't blame the economy for what I do. Two years ago, I woke up with a line from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke in my head: "You must change your life." So I quit my prestigious yet stressful college teaching job for a three-month house-sit at a place overlooking the ocean. I spent my days writing, going to oyster happy hour ($1 oysters!) and walking my elderly dog on the beach. But at night, worried about what I would do next, I couldn't sleep. I needed money and health insurance, but going back to teaching would interfere with my writing, not to mention my new serene existence.
It's not that I'm averse to hard work. I come from a family of bricklayers and hairdressers. When I was 8, my grandfather put together shoeshine kits for my brother and me so we could earn money to buy the toys we wanted. This wouldn't have been a bad idea if we'd lived in Sicily in the 1950s, like he had. But we lived in California, in a neighborhood filled with kids wearing unpolishable Vans. Not surprisingly, I never made much money shining shoes, but I did get a work permit the day I turned 15. That was the beginning of what was to become a long waitressing career. I'd gotten the message in my home, starting with my grandfather, that real work, the kind that makes you sweat and gets your hands dirty, is a respectable, necessary thing. But I wanted to write—and writing didn't qualify. Whenever I told my parents I dreamed of becoming a writer, they said, "Great, but what are you going to do for work?"
I was the first in my family to go to college, and I waitressed all the way through, using my earnings to pay for a bachelor's degree first and then a master's. I resented classmates who didn't have to work real jobs, the ones who had the luxury of taking unpaid internships that would eventually position them for high-paying careers. I thought they were soft and that I was morally superior. Degree or no, I reasoned, if times got tough, I'd always be able to take care of myself. (My mantra was "When the apocalypse comes, I'll be fine; I can always waitress.") I certainly wouldn't have to worry about being cut off from my parents' money, because I supported myself, thank you very much.

Install the properly rated socket and use a properly rated Pigtail on your appliance.
Have Fun.
I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel. Where the old kitchen had a cooktop we're installing a freestanding 30 " electric stove. We want to Use the existing wiring from the cooktop (50 amp - 4 wire ) to power the stove. The box is mounted about 24" off the floor where it will be behind the stove. The stove calls for electrical box mounted on wall between the floor and 8" off the floor. The wiring comes from the ceiling so I can't move the box down and running a new line back to the breaker box seems like too much work.
Can I tap the wires in the current box and install a new box at the floor? If so this would require joining 4each pairs #8 stranded wires. What size wire nuts for those? I was thinking maybe install a disconnect box where the current box is as this would make connecting these wire sizes easier.
Any suggestions.
Install the properly rated socket and use a properly rated Pigtail on your appliance.
Have Fun.
My question is how do I tap into the existing wiring box from the now unused cooktop in the picture, to extend the line down to the floor and mount the proper box/receptical there. Original box is fed with #6 wire, 3 wire plus ground Romex and I'll have to be recessed mounted since stove goes flush to the wall.
Are there approved wire nuts big enough and if so where do I find them. If not wire nuts, what other connections are legal for connecting a pair of #6 stranded wires.
I would not use wire nuts for that size wires. I would use crimps or lugs to do it. Regardless of what the specifications say, is there room for the plug behind the range at the point where the J-box is now, if the box were recessed flush with the wall?

I must be missing something.
Why would you want to add another connection ? That connection can not share.
Just get the proper length Pigtail.
Watt am I missing ?
Stoves often have a recess for the connections and the top area may end up flush with the wall, so if your connection was there, you couldn't push the stove back as far. So, there could be a very good reason they want the electrical connection down lower.

This doesn't make sense.. If you have room to install a disconnect, why not just use the existing box where its at? Is it in the way of the stove or something?
Do not use wire nuts on 50 amp wire.. its too much. Split bolts or some other compression type connection is needed. You could use crimp-on wire terminals and screws..
this is what the link is to
quote; Watt am I missing ?
You are "missing" that the pigtail's plug is OUTSIDE the wall and may prevent the range from sliding against the wall unless the receptacle is in a location where there is a recess or an "open" area..

(B) Connection at the Rear Base of a Range. For cord-and-plug-connected household electric ranges, an attachment plug and receptacle connection at the rear base of a range, if it is accessible from the front by removal of a drawer, shall be considered as meeting the intent of 422.33(A).
There are simple butt splices technically the same as what JW references, except not insulated, very readily available. Assuming that you can't find JW's connectors close by, go for the common ones, they work fine. They come rated to fit different gauges of wire. Buy four of the correct size and a roll of good quality insulating tape. Get a very tight torque on the connectors.
Replace that 1 1/2" box with a 2 1/8" box, which you will recess flush into the wall and use a blanking plate to close.
Buy the short length of NM that you need at Home Despot or some other retailer that will sell by the foot.
Use a 2 1/8" deep box for the receptacle box as well.
Bob's your uncle.
I decided to have an electrician extend the line. It's simple and inexpensive.
I've already wired for over cabinet and under cabinet lights etc. i have no problem with the 15 amp and 20 amp stuff but I don't like the high current stuff that Home Depot sells.
As a side note, after the old kitchen was ripped out we had a gas smell. The only gas into the house is LP to a gas fireplace so I shut it off at the underground tank.
We still had occasional gas smell. I had all drains capped. I called a plumber. He opened the drywall behind where the old kitchen sink was and buried behind the drywall was a clean out with a VERY LOOSE screw cap. He extended the clean out so it can be accessed under the sink once the new cabinet is installed, and smell is gone.
Another surprise was when the tile backsplash was removed I found a j-box without a cover plate and with live wires buried behind the tile. I used that line to install a switch to power the cabinet lights.
Also all the breakers in the panel were not labeled correctly. I spent a few hours identifying and properly labeling the breakers. The previous owner left the original blue prints which included original electrical layout. There was obvious additions over the years which required new breakers.
Electrician came out today. Original line had a 50 amp breaker with a 65 foot run of # 8 standard Romex.
I had the #8 removed and had #6 installed (70 feet of wire) from breaker to stove receptical. . It took 2 guys 2 1/2 hours to fish and run it through the hot attic crawl space.
They also removed another unused run of #8 w/50 amp breaker that was feeding the old double oven and an unused 120/20a dedicated line for an old microwave.

Taking the place of an old Tex-Mex failure, some stock Sinatra flows about kitsch portraits from babies to post-war ladies making a mess of spaghetti, with staff rounding out the picture with handwritten ties asking the restaurant's rhetorical namesake "got vino?" - if you're at the bar.
It's certainly not fine dining territory, with the aforementioned workingman ribs and sausage, peppers and fry-ables dotting the bar and much of the dining room. Some veal and poached pear desserts (Fridays and Saturdays) and a soon-to-be rooftop patio tease well outside the family set.

MF erotic paranormal romance
Heat Level 3
Word Count 8,655
Ursula Mackenzie has worshipped the enigmatic owner of Night Gamesfrom the safety of her computer screen for an entire year. The interactive blog feeds her passion for dark erotic stories about vampire and pirate lovers, while the face of Reynold Collins fuels her sexual fantasies.
Reynold Collins has also been watching Ursula since she joined his website a year ago, only she doesn't know it. Reynold has a secret, and it's time he revealed it to Ursula.
Will she reject his life of eternal damnation, or can true love really conquer all?
The dream woke Ursula. She waited until her breathing had returned to normal and rolled over to glance at her alarm clock, groaning when she realized shed only gone to bed a couple of hours ago. She snuggled back under the covers and hugged her body pillow. Reynold, she whispered. I wish that dream was real.
Her eyes snapped open when she heard a rushing wind noise. Was it storming outside? When she removed the blanket she shivered. The air in the room had suddenly grown cooler.
Crossing to the window she moved aside the curtains and peered out. The full moon cast a bluish hue on the expanse of lawn below. The trees were still and stars dotted the sky. What had she heard?
Hugging her elbows she crossed to her dresser and turned on one of the Tiffany rose bouquet lamps that flanked it. She had another blanket in the bottom drawer. When someone whispered her name, she froze. The hair on the back of her neck prickled. Was someone in her condo?
Shit. Her phone was on the nightstand, behind her. With her heartbeat pounding in her ears, she turned around and watched something materialize in front of the window. A face floated next to her nightstand. The only things clearly visible were his piercing green eyes.
What the hell
I wont hurt you, Ursula. His seductive, soothing voice sent a shiver through her, but not from fear. It was Reynolds voice, exactly as it had sounded in her dreams.
I dont understand. Nice one, Ursula. Tell the strange man in your bedroom youre confused. Maybe hell stop and explain first? Thatll make it so much more pleasant.
Its okay, Ursula. Im not here to hurt you.
Tell me what the hell is going on right now. Her limbs felt like someone had wrapped them in fire ants. They danced along her skin, stinging her. She shook her head, trying to escape what her senses were telling her was true.
She placed both hands across her chest as his body took solid form. It was like watching a computerized model of subatomic particles come together. The pieces coalesced until a yummy man stood in front of the window, dressed in khakis and a button-down shirt.
The muscles visible under his clothing suggested hours spent at the gym, and his rugged face had the look of someone who spent a great deal of time outdoors. The air filled with the scent of musk and another scent she couldnt identify. It conjured up images of naked bodies writhing together in passion.
His gaze burned with passion and her clothes suddenly felt too tight. Ursula trembled at the raw lust in his eyes. Every erotic fantasy shed had about this man floated through her mind. She moaned and backed up but she was already against the dresser.
Its okay. I mean you no harm.
How? she breathed, unable to form a coherent thought. Why?
He placed a wrapped package on the nightstand. I brought your prize.
She shivered. What?
You won the grand prize this quarter, and Ive brought it to you. That voice. It washed over her like warm water, caressing every inch of her skin. This was impossible, and yet there he stood in all his testosterone-laden glory. Her nipples and clit began to throb.
She licked her lips. Can we take a detour back to reality for just one second? How is this possible?
Youve always wondered if vampires are real.
Sure, but Wait a minute... Theyre real? Youre a vampire? Is that what youre telling me? Why didnt she feel afraid? Shouldnt be she be planning her escape right now? Ursula, hello! Theres a strange man in your bedroom!
Youve always believed it could be true, so why is it so difficult to accept? He took a step toward her. Isnt this what you want? To explore your dark fantasies? Thats what Im offering.
No way. Not possible.
He grinned and it sent a wave of desire crashing through her. This was insane, and yet she craved his touch. More than shed ever desired any man.
Do you doubt your own senses? he asked, strolling toward her slowly, like a big cat stalking its prey.
I can if I choose to.
Please dont send me away, Ursula. Let me in. Ive wanted you for so long.
This is crazy, she whispered.
He was so close now she could count his eyelashes. They hung over his lids, dark and long. No, its not crazy, Ursula. Its what you and I have dreamed of.

Compañía Cervecera has reduced its CO2 emissions by 30% in the last three years (Translation)
5 June 2012
- The decrease in the water consumption and the improvement in the packaging management are also among the priorities on which the company is working
- Improving the processes and the introduction of machinery to improve efficiency are some of the aspects that the organisation has put its emphasis on to improve the results
Canarias, June 4th, 2012 - Coinciding with the celebration, tomorrow, of the World Environment Day, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias has ratified its support for the protection of the environment with the implementation of a wide program of actions addressed to reduce energy consumption. Its effects have been seen and have been translated in a decrease of CO2 emissions by 30% due to fuel usage during the last three years.
Also, regarding the energetic ussage, the data shows a drop of 4% during last year, reaching 130.54 per megajoules per hectolitre, as opposed to 136.19 from last year.
The improvements reached are due to the various actions carried out by Compañía Cervecera de Canarias to reduce its energetic footprint. Among these actions are the replacement of the evaporative condensers for more efficient ones, the isolation of pipes with hot and cold fluids, as well as actions directed to improve the production process, like the cold audits or the decrease in the steam pressure and the boiling time of the cast wort per brew.
The support of Compañía Cervecera for the environmental conservation is evident in the water consumption, with a drop of 9% during last year, reaching 4.29 litres of water per litre of beer, in line with the objective of 3.5 litres for 2015.
Other of the lines in which Compañía Cervecera is intensifying its efforts is in the improvement of the packaging management and the packaging materials, through measures that allowed segregating 100% of the disposable components of packaging for its recycling. To this has to be added an exhaustive analysis in the packaging materials selection according to their environmental impact, as well as promoting the use of returnable packaging, an aspect in which the company slightly exceeds the rest of the sector, with a percentage of 59% of the total, as opposed to the 48% of the average.
The use of bagasse for animal consumption and agricultural compost make another of the investments of Compañía Cervecera to reduce its environmental impact, which allows achieving 97% of waste recycling.
About Cervecera de Canarias
Compañía Cervecera is one of the main national breweries and one of the main engines in the economical and social development in Canarias: it boosts the creation of almost 900 direct jobs and almost 7,000 indirect and induced jobs; it is shareholder of several companies in Canarias; and it gives priority to local supplies in order to carry out their production. The company, which is part of the international group SABMiller, has more than 300 business owners from Canarias among its shareholders, which are approximately 30% of the total and are represented with two members in the Board of Directors.

Continued rains on the Big Island of Hawaii allowed for continued improvements to the D0 conditions there. Only Molokai has any lingering drought issues, and that is in response to continued water restrictions. No changes were made in Alaska or Puerto Rico this week.
A significant rain and snow event in the Midwest brought 2-4 inches of precipitation from Iowa into Wisconsin and Michigan. A full category improvement to the drought depiction was made from eastern Iowa into Wisconsin. For northwest Iowa, the dry pattern continued and D1 conditions were pushed farther to the west. Most of the region was above normal for the week, even with the wild swing in temperatures. The upper Midwest was 2-4 degrees Fahrenheit below normal for the week.
Warm temperatures and dry conditions were experienced over much of the south this week. Areas of central Arkansas did record up to 3 inches of rain this week and an inch of rain was recorded over portions of northeast Texas. Even as the week averaged out above normal, cold air at the end of the current U.S. Drought Monitor period pushed into the region with overnight lows well below freezing and snow in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. The dryness in the Texas panhandle allowed for D4 expansion this week. In central Texas, D2 was also expanded while an area of D3 was improved slightly. Dryness in southern Texas also warranted the expansion and intensification of drought, with D1 and D2 expanding. Another round of precipitation in the Big Bend of Texas allowed for D0 to improve while the extreme areas of northeast Texas also had D0 improve. Southern Oklahoma also had degradation of drought conditions, with D1 and D2 conditions expanding.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms in the region brought heavy rain to portions of Alabama and Mississippi, with up to 4 inches recorded in central Mississippi. Some areas of north Georgia into Tennessee and western North Carolina have been dry on several time scales and will need to be monitored for deterioration. In an area of northern Mississippi and southern Tennessee, which the heavy rains recently missed, D0 was expanded this week.
A rare warmer-than-normal week brought temperatures that were 4-8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal for the region. Scattered showers in the region generally brought precipitation amounts of less than 1 inch. Even with the above-normal temperatures, there were not any changes to the drought status of the region this week because water demand is still lagging as vegetation is slow to come out of dormancy.
As with the Midwest and south, the temperatures this week were quite variable as very warm temperatures were followed by very cold temperatures at the end of the week. Most of the region was 2-4 degrees Fahrenheit above normal for the week outside of the northern High Plains. Portions of Nebraska and eastern Kansas saw a mix of thunderstorms, rain, and wet snow, but this was not enough to show improvements. The drought intensity increased to D3 over central Kansas while D2 was expanded into more of eastern Kansas.
Another dry week over much of the western United States. Areas of the Pacific Northwest did record up to an inch of precipitation while the central Rocky Mountains continued receiving precipitation as rain and snow was recorded in Wyoming and Colorado. The warm temperatures continued over the west with almost all areas above normal for the week, and in California, temperatures were 9-12 degrees above normal. This was detrimental to the low snowpack as some areas of California lost half of the snow water equivalence (SWE) in a single week and there was little response to inflows into reservoirs. Drought conditions worsened as D2 was expanded in eastern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado. In southwestern Colorado, D1 was also expanded. A reanalysis of conditions was done in southwest Wyoming and northeast Oregon this week, which allowed for the improvement to D0 conditions there.
Over the next 5-7 days, there is a good chance of precipitation from the plains to the upper Midwest, with more than an inch anticipated from northern Wisconsin into eastern Nebraska and south into Oklahoma and Arkansas. A storm system will move into the Pacific Northwest, potentially bringing up to 4 inches of rain into portions of Washington. In the southeast from Florida up the Carolinas coast, there is a good opportunity for heavy rain as well. A warming pattern looks to bring above-normal temperatures over much of the United States from the Great Basin into the northeast, and high temperatures will be up to 10-12 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in the central plains.
The 6-10 day outlook continues to show higher-than-normal chances for above-normal precipitation over most of the southern plains, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest. The best chances for above-normal temperatures are in the middle and eastern sections of the United States, from the Rocky Mountains and to the east. Chances for cooler-than-normal temperatures are greatest along the west coast.

Basic Research Interests:
The general area of research interest for Dr. Ballantyne's laboratory is the role of inflammation and cell adhesion molecules in vascular disease. Dr. Ballantyne and colleagues have adopted a molecular genetic approach toward this problem and have utilized targeted homologous recombination to develop mutant mice deficient in various cell adhesion molecules including CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, and CD11d. These mice are being studied in models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular injury and acute inflammation. The mechanisms by which hyperlipidemia and obesity influence inflammation are also being studied. Characterization of the mutant mice involves a wide range of techniques, including molecular biology, cell biology, and integrative physiology.
Clinical Research Interests:
Dr. Ballantyne's clinical research is the prevention of atherosclerotic vascular disease. This interest includes pharmacological studies to assess the efficacy and benefits of lipid-lowering drug therapy including trials which utilize ultrasound and MRI to examine the effects of lipid-lowering drugs on the progression of atherosclerosis. As the director of The Maria and Alando J. Ballantyne, M.D., Atherosclerosis Clinical Research Laboratory, which serves as the core laboratory for the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, Dr. Ballantyne is studying whether novel biomarkers might be useful in identifying individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Both genomics and proteomics are being used to identify novel molecules that are increased with atherosclerosis and the metabolic syndrome.

Ask any Mom what the most important meal of the day is and you're almost guaranteed to receive the same answer- breakfast. Moms know eating breakfast supplies kids with the energy and brain power they need to do well in school. Every day of the year, mothers all across the US ensure their children have a healthy start to the day by preparing them a nutritious breakfast.
Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to show your mom gratitude for all of her hard work by providing breakfast for her. Children love to help in the kitchen. Allowing them to help prepare breakfast on this special day is a way for them to develop new cooking skills and show mom how much they care.
Preschool-age children are able to stir and mix foods like eggs, pancakes and quick breads. School-age children can help peel and chop veggies and fruit (with assistance), stir foods while cooking and even crack an egg. Teenagers can help plan a menu, shop for the food and may even be able to prepare an entire meal on their own.
If your normal Sunday routine is rushed, a way to simplify this special morning is to serve brunch. Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch and can be served anytime from mid-morning to early afternoon. Breakfast and lunch foods often appear side by side on a brunch menu. Flavors can range from sweet and tangy to caramelized and spicy. Ideas for a special Mother's Day brunch include yogurt parfaits topped with fruit and granola; egg, cheese and ham omelets; savory soufflés made with cheese or chocolate; and mixed dishes like an egg and veggie frittata. Juice made from fresh squeezed oranges, and fruit like juicy ripe strawberries, are a sweet addition that no one can resist.
Did you know that Mother's Day was developed by a native West Virginian and was first celebrated in Taylor County? Anna Jarvis is credited with establishing our nation's first Mother's Day in 1908 when she sent over 1000 carnations in her mother's memory to Andrews United Methodist Church in Grafton. What better way to honor our state's tradition than to include some locally grown foods on your brunch menu? Simple ideas include using locally grown honey to top biscuits or to sweeten hot tea. Serving farm fresh asparagus will brighten up any plate and has an added bonus- the locally grown version is only available for a short time each spring. Finally, don't forget to include local foods like eggs and spinach, which are plentiful at most farmers markets right now.
No matter what menu you choose for your mom on Mother's Day, she's sure to feel loved and admired when she realizes the amount of thought and effort you put into her special day. For two uniquely flavored sweet and savory dishes, try this warm chocolate soufflé and vegetable frittata with simple side salad recipes.

How the world reacted to Mandela's passing
As world leaders paid solemn tribute to Nelson Mandela, in South Africa, outside the former president's home, crowds could be heard singing.PT2M17S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2yvjg 620 349 December 6, 2013

Johannesburg: The death of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president and an enduring icon of the struggle against racial oppression, has left the nation without its moral centre at a time of growing dissatisfaction with the country's leaders.
Years after he retreated from public life, his name still resonated as an emblem of his effort to transcend decades of racial division and create what South Africans called a Rainbow Nation.
Yet Mandela's death comes during a period of deep unease and painful self-examination for South Africa.
In the past year and a half, the country has faced perhaps its most serious unrest since the end of apartheid, provoked by a wave of wildcat strikes by angry miners, a deadly response on the part of the police, a messy leadership struggle within the ANC and the deepening fissures between South Africa's rulers and its impoverished masses.

Scandals over corruption involving senior members of the party have fed a broader perception that Mandela's near saintly legacy from the years of struggle has been eroded by a more recent scramble for self-enrichment among a newer elite.
After spending decades in penurious exile, many political figures returned to find themselves at the centre of a grab for power and money.
Zuma was charged with corruption before rising to the presidency in 2009, although the charges were dropped on largely technical grounds.

He has faced renewed scrutiny in the past year over $27 million spent in renovations to his house in rural Zululand.
Graphic cellphone videos of police officers abusing people they have detained have further fueled anger at a government seen increasingly out of touch with the lives of ordinary South Africans.
National figures were quick to play down fears expressed by a minority that the passing of the great conciliator might lead again to a return of the racial and political tensions that racked South Africa during the apartheid era.
"To suggest that South Africa might go up in flames - as some have predicted - is to discredit South Africans and Madiba's legacy," another veteran anti-apartheid leader, former Archbishop of Cape Town Desmond Tutu, said. "Madiba" is Mandela's clan name.

"The sun will rise tomorrow, and the next day and the next ... It may not appear as bright as yesterday, but life will carry on," Tutu said in a statement of tribute.
In his speech announcing Mr Mandela's death, South African President Jacob Zuma called for South Africans to unite and to farewell Mandela in a manner fitting of his legacy.
"Fellow South Africans, Nelson Mandela brought us together and it is together that we will bid him farewell.

"As we gather to pay our last respect, let us conduct ourselves with the dignity and respect that Madiba personified.
"Be mindful of his wishes and the wishes of his children."

they dont respect none of the color ppl – okay, so.. tonite..me and my buddies are looking for spending lots of money on this place. we all had 100 on 1 dollar each willing to spend all tonite.. what happen was the bouncer from the inside of the club end of being racist..the reason im saying this was...there are about twenty people around the stage... going wild whenever the dancer throwing down the cool moves, They were all touchy and nasty towards to the dacners....i was one of the customer who is spending lots of money when the dancer making some crazy moves ... when the dancers stop paying attention to me and my buddies, and went to other customer to make money, which i perfectly understood i sat on the chair that was displayed around the stage...I was joking around with my buddies.. and tried to entertaint people... Ten minutes latser, this bouncer come to me and ask me to move the seat... I totally understood since he was on his way to collecting money for the dancers from the stage( i even move away from the stage). But, he ask me to move the sofa all by myself, which it was DISPLAYED there from the begining. I figure it would be nice thing for me to help him out by moving sofa, so i moved.. Next thing you know he was pushing me to get out his way. so i told him that 'you shouldnt push me...' it wasnt even like im trying to mess with the bouncer...then he kick me out of the place....i asked him again why he kicking me out of the place... all he said was i was being rude... which i still do not understand what part of action i made him think im being rude...... now i think about it..i was only color person who are shorter than the bouncer(just imagine the bouncer cant do anything when there are bunch of other big white duedes touching dancers who are bigger than the bouncer..and im the only small asian guy who are willing to be reasonable and be smart with the bouncer).... so... ask me...what is southern belles gentlemens clubs like? it is the place you could go if you are only white person who are bigger than the bouncers.. it doesnt matter how much you spend... its all about who do you know in the place or how well you know the bouncers...so... i highly recommend you to go to Jaguar or Black Diamond if you ever have to go to strip club.... Sothern Belle Gentlemens never apperciate the people who spend lots of money... they only appreciate the people they know... Its coming from person who experienced the one of the worst experience in strip club ever..... Again.. go to other place... this was one of the worst gentlemens club ive been..and they are rude as hell.... I went there three time in two weeks for the business, they dont even remember i was there spending lotta money... yea... please dont go here... i used to go lotta place like this before... this was the one of the worst.... AGAIN!!!!! go to Jaguar..there are girls who remebers you all the time... go to black diamonds.. there are people who are nice enough to take care of you...... thanks for reading this far...
Hot girls and Bottomless – We went here last weekend for a bachelor party and Thee Southern Belle did not disappoint. Compared to most strip clubs I've been too, they had fewer dancers than most..but the quality was supreme. They took our bachelor on stage and showed him one hell of a time.
You can buy beer next store and bring it in. A little pricier than the gas station so I'd recommend getting before you come. If you do decide to buy beer next store, don't bother renting the $5 bucket. We thought it was a deposit and would get that money back. However, when I went to collect the $15 for the 3 buckets the owner told us it "simply a rental." Lappers are $40, but well worth it compared to the stingy $25 dances you get at those topless clubs. Next to Spearmint Rhino or Scores Vegas, my fave strip club of all time.
Beware: the backrooms/chairs were known to eat at least one iPhone so keep your phone in your pocket at all times..or just leave it at home.
take some hotdogs in your mouths biatcheeesssss – ok, so you have to go buy some beer right next door, literally 5 ft from the front entrance. so two of the 7-8 girls were extremely hot. i got a lap dance from one for 40$, best money ive ever spent. i split the charge with a girlfriend of mine, amazing. it was my 21st birthday and they gave me extra special treatment. lots of fun, got drunk and got somecooch definitely worth visiting. wednesday and thursday are college night, 5$ cover. go get some
I was offered a $$$$ job by a chick with no teeth, no thanks I said. – Okay, do these guys have any standards when hiring? I expect to at least to have girls that brush their hair, god damn. Is that what the south has to offer, girls that beg for dances to pay for their two kids and dental work??
Real girls. Real club. Real diet soda. Real grunge (music). – Stopped by during a recent visit to Charleston. Though I am not a smoker, the border goes through the middle of the street so you can smoke here. BYOB due to the LOB. Little bar across the way where you can drink and watch the stage action on screen- kind of like a srip club sky box. Genius! Some good, some bad. None too pushy. Due to the size of the club, you can feel like you are sitting in the bleachers on a slow night. Helpful management. Women run the gammut (hope that is correct) of types. Dance is $40. Can use the gas station ATM across the street. Autumn is a lovely time to go.
If you're looking for atmosphere.... – Hottest looking women in the South! Bring your own beer in a cooler, kind of cheesy, but it beats not drinking.

Limestone Hill Trail
- Hiking
Length: 1.75 Miles View map
Before Limestone Hill Trail splits off to the right from Spring Branch Trail, you will notice the Bollefer Springhouse on the left. Use caution when crossing Seckman Road; vehicles are often fast and frequent. Limestone Hill Trail is a steep and rugged hike with challenging slopes and rough terrain leading you along the base of a limestone bluff, up a hill through an oak hickory and cedar forest and across the hilltop with scenic views of Seckman Valley. There are several benches and overlooks along the trail. You will notice a variety of trees such as honey locust, sugar maple, dogwood, white oak, hackberry and cedars. Among the deep ravines and rough, protruding boulders, wildflowers such as columbine and wild hydrangea can be found growing in the midst of the woody vines and trumpet creepers. Small yellow and red funnel-shaped mushrooms may also be spotted poking through the dark green mosses on the limestone boulders.

Length: .80 Mile View map
Sharing a trailhead with Limestone Hill Trail, this trail offers a leisure hike through a portion of the Rock Creek bottomland. The packed gravel surface is manageable for wheelchairs and strollers to follow a small stream flowing from the Bollefer Spring past remains of the Bollefer springhouse, built in 1837. This farming family stored perishables such as milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables before refrigeration was invented.
Looping through a young forest of hackberry and box elder trees, the trail winds through sycamores and cottonwoods along Rock Creek, a popular place for wading during the summer. The creek also hosts a variety of aquatic wildlife. Continue through the box elder trees returning to the trailhead and picnic area.

The Wildflower Trail
- Hiking
Length: .40 Mile View map
This trail guides visitors down a series of stairs to the Kimmswick Bone Bed, where scientists first discovered evidence that American mastodons coexisted with humans 12,000 years ago. The trail passes the Callison Memorial Bird Sanctuary, a wildflower area, crosses an old limestone quarry, and goes down a limestone bluff and talus slope to the bone bed. At the bone bed, you will find an interpretive kiosk with information about the estimated three acres of Pleistocene deposits. At the end of the ice age, this area's mineral springs and swampland was home to the American mastodon, Harlan's ground sloth, Jefferson's ground sloth, long nosed peccary, and stag moose. No excavations currently are going on. The remnants of the bone bed site remain safely buried for future generations.
Past the bone bed, the trail continues to a small foot bridge over a spring that actively flows after heavy rain. Uphill through a dense oak forest to the limestone bluff, the loop intersects to lead visitors back to the museum or to Callison Memorial Bird Sanctuary.

WooHoo! Almost there Moke, Congrats! Keep your eye on the prize
They're all largely meaningless, aren't they? You need to have one to get yourself in the door but my experience is that anyone who is looking for better opportunities based mainly on what they did in college hasn't actually accomplished anything of note in the real world.
Another way of saying that is that a college degree opens the door but once you're in the working world, the specific type of degree is far less important than people believe. Once you have the degree it's all about what you accomplish in business so your 4 years (6 for you, Moke) of work to get a specific degree evaporates within about 6 months of being in the working world.
Meaning bachelor's in general haha.
But I'm getting bachelor's in Finance and Investments (or economics).
minor in information studies.
Might be going for my master's though, although I haven't decided what focus.
These days, you need more than a Bachelors is what I meant.

As Democrats try not to let political turbulence slim their ranks and Republicans focus on winning back the majority, money continues to pour into campaign coffers.

- Down But Not Quite Out: An Examination of Insurance Giant AIG's Waning CloutDecember 3, 2009 6:40 PM
Insurance giant AIG's political clout is waning as fast as its finances. Since its near-collapse and government bailout last fall, AIG disbanded its lobbying team. It hasn't donated a dollar from its political action committee this year. Furthermore, contributions from individual AIG employees since January are merely a sliver of what they've been in previous cycles -- although a few notable politicians retain financial or political ties to the embattled company. Among these lawmakers is Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who pledged to return contributions from AIG employees who got post-bailout bonuses but has nonetheless retained tens of thousands of dollars from them given before the bailout.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
- Red, White and GreenJuly 3, 2008 9:59 AM
Tomorrow is Independence Day, the time to commemorate the United States's successful revolt against Britain, establishing our own self-reliant government. Well, sort of. While our politicians are no longer answering to the redcoats, they've become awfully beholden to the greenbacks. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, 36 current members of Congress have collected at least 20 percent of their contributions from a single industry, setting up a scheme of dependence and perhaps the expectation of a tit-for-tat.
- Oil Company in Scandal Gave Outside of AlaskaMay 9, 2007 6:53 PM

What is the best faucet water filter to buy? Thanks.
Printable View
What is the best faucet water filter to buy? Thanks.
The best is the one that removes all of whatever is in the water that you have to remove.
So what and how much of it is in your water?
On city water, none.
The biggest con of all time. Second only to anything with ions in it.
Tap water is great.
I installed a Pur FM-9500 3-stage water filter 2 years ago. We use city water and at first I could not tell the difference between filtered and unfiltered. But after a couple of weeks, I could discern the chlorine taste and odor in the unfiltered and the lack thereof in the filtered. The downside is that it takes about 2-3 minutes to fill a quart pitcher and also, there are leaks between the unit and the faucet, and leaks at the seams between the parts of the unit. After I use up the last of 4 replacement filters (a filter last about 4 mos.) I will shop around for a filter that filters faster and is leak proof! Before this, I had an Omni whole-house filter but the plastic housing kept getting hairline cracks after a few years use. After 2 failures I gave up on them. I believe in filtering drinking water because it taste better and the filters look cruddy when I take them out.
I use the PUR faucet-mounted filters as well.
In my house, for some reason they start to leak after about a year so I just replace the whole unit.
While it's not absolutely necessary to filter city tap water, I like to think that eliminating some of the organic compounds (like pesticides and pharmaceutical products which seem to be in most metropolitan water supplies), is a good thing.
What Pur filter are you using that removes pharmaceuticals?
When it comes to good filters, a faucet tip type is a toy, marketed to filter dollars out of your wallet.
And anyone simply improving taste by removing chlorine, should be aware that that is not what harms you, it's the THMs (DPBs) that do you in. That's trihalomethanes and disinfection by products (of chlorine) if they are present in your water.
BTW, all waters contain invisible dirt that can be removed by a filter, but that 'dirt', it can't hurt you. If you are worried about that, you should be walking around breathing through an air filter, air is much dirtier than your water and what you breath goes right into your blood stream; dirt in water doesn't.
I don't know for a fact that any water filter removes pharmaceuticals, but figure that if they remove many other organic compounds, they may reduce these as well.
PUR's web site has NSF-certified testing results showing reductions of many contaminants:
Is this not a valid way to test filter performance?
Maybe 1% of all the filters on the market are "Certified" by the NSF and the WQA.
That doesn't mean non-certified filters don't do as well or better than the much more expensive Certified filter. And companies and sales people use the certification to sell them but... tell me how many of the listed contaminates at that link are found above the EPA MCL in any 'city' water system. Next to none, but look at all the PUR faucet tip filters that are sold and the cost of them because people make incorrect assumptions about their water quality.
America probably has the highest quality water of any nation on earth. A filter gives the uninformed a warm'n fuzzy feeling because as a society we seem to have lost the ability to think. Notice how the word THINK is used so little today? And since most of us live indoors, safely away from nature, we are losing are ability to judge acceptable risks. I've watched this happen over the last 45 years since the advent of pervasive TV advertising (and women's lib).
And now we have billions of dollars being spent on bottled water and everywhere we go people in the hundreds and thousands are walking around sucking on a bottle of commercially bottled water, "feeling" that it is better than what comes out of the 'tap'. But little do they know that 90% of all bottled water is TAP water with a slick label on the bottle and a great ad campaign featuring A LOT of fresh OUTDOOR scenery... now that's funny. :D
As to testing, see if what you want to remove from the water is actually in the water, install a filter that is said to remove or reduce it and then test a sample of teh water. That is the only accurate test of any filter.
I've used under cabinet carbon filters for years, but I recently bought a Reverse osmosis unit on sale for $130.
I have well water with some iron bacteria smell and the unit cleans the water really well.
The only problem is that the unit was flushing about 8 times more water down the drain than it was producing. I flattened the "capillary tube" some so it's now a more sane 1 gallon down the drain for each filtered gallon it produces.
The carbon filters worked good for taste, but I need "mineral free" or distilled water for liquid cooled equipment.
I hope someone can help to answer a question. I'm replacing the auto shut off value on my unit and the 1/4 inch plastic tubing keeps leaking at the fittings. The plastic fittings are the type that you push in to release. Otherwise they're supposed to be snug, but they're not. They keep leaking. I've cut off any parts with scratches and tried to make sure the tubing is as round as possible.
Any suggestions to keep them from leaking?
TDS is Total Dissolved Solids, it is not harmful and the EPA MCL is 500 ppm. So 360 ppm TDS is not bad or harmful.
And distilled water is not as good as RO, all TOCs and VOCs go right through a distiller, UNLESS it has a carbon post filter; many don't.
If your fittings are leaking, and you've trimmed the end of the tubing and still have leaks, you need new fittings. The internal o-ring in the fittings are probably bad. Or your water pressure could be too high.
After posting here I took a good look at the push fittings and noticed they have "O" rings deep inside of them. I'd thought the plastic tubing was in all the way but was able to push it in farther, past the rings, confident this would work and it did. NO leaks after that.
TDS stands for the total dissolved solids in the water. The TDS in the town that I live in, which is probably as high a quality as any, contains the following substances. There are of course many more things in the water that are NOT listed in the city water report. Distilled doesn't get out everything from the water, but it's close, and much better than having such as remains, plus all of the following plus whatever else is in there and not measured.
Chromium VI
Haloacetic Acids
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Water is called the universal solvent because it dissolves so many things it comes in contact with. So all waters contain a lot of things but... the amount of each of those things that are dangerous is what matters. You don't list any amounts.
All of those things, good or bad, make up the TDS of a water.
I'm going to bring it back up to around 4:1 for now.
It just seemed to never turn off when I first connected it up. This was possibly due to my lower water pressure. or maybe the "auto shut off" valve needed to be used a few times to "loosen up".

By Jon Friedman, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- It's time to give CNBC's Maria Bartiromo her due.
Thanks to good, old-fashioned hard work, Bartiromo, 38, has outgrown the frivolous "Money Honey" label that the nickname-loving media stamped on her a decade ago. And with the passing of the legendary Louis Rukeyser, the 13-year CNBC veteran has deservedly become television's best known business journalist. How well known? Even the Ramones' Joey Ramone wrote a song about her.
"My long-term approach is to bring the biggest names in business on the air and have the viewers get direct access," she said. "I ask questions that viewers want answers to -- (but) not in a 'gotcha!' kind of way. The viewers of CNBC are the smartest, most sophisticated on the planet. You can't fool that audience."
And Bartiromo certainly enjoys her job. "I like business!" she said unabashedly. "People always ask me, 'Don't you want Katie Couric's (former) job" on NBC's "Today?" "NO! This gets me excited. I love the urgency of it. It's phenomenally fun. I'm having the time of my life."
Bartiromo had perhaps her finest moment a few months ago when she reported a scoop about new Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke. Bartiromo buttonholed Bernanke at the White House correspondents dinner and he told her that investors had misinterpreted his recent congressional remarks as an indication that the Fed was almost finished raising rates.
It was big news. Some observers hailed Bartiromo's grit while others complained that she had gotten the news in a sneaky way. Meanwhile, the financial markets buzzed.
"I was somewhat surprised by the reaction of the market and my colleagues in the media," she noted.
"I would've liked my colleagues in the media to (acknowledge) my scoop," she said. When I suggested that, most likely, they were just jealous, she shrugged.
Later, she added in an email message: "There was a lot of commotion made about the Bernanke story in the media by some of my colleagues. The truth is... there was no scandal here...it was one thing and one thing only...a scoop."
Like a lot of people, I watched Bartiromo on TV for years and didn't bother to look past the sex-kitten references. When viewers look closer, though, they will come to appreciate her straightforward, "less-is-more" broadcasting approach. Forget the image. This is the unusual celebrity journalist who relishes doing nuts-and-bolts reporting -- and it's especially rare at CNBC, where clutter and clamor frequently pass for "journalism."
All too often, many of CNBC's stars seem determined to define themselves as personalities, not reporters. Unless they're discussing a bombshell or a juicy rumor, they can act as if assessing the day's mundane financial news is somehow beneath them. This is unfortunate because stock-market junkies hunger for hard information, not happy talk.
For sure, CNBC, a General Electric /quotes/zigman/227468/delayed/quotes/nls/ge GE +1.68% unit, boasts an array of knowledgeable on-air folks. Still, they can drive me to distraction when they preen (Dylan Ratigan), scream (Jim Cramer), argue (Charles Gasparino looked downright amateurish when he interrupted the New York Times' Larry Ingrassia during a recent interview) and meander (Joe Kernen, when he yaks about his golf game and yuks it up).
By contrast, such no-frills CNBC reporters as Bob Pisani, Rick Santelli, Bertha Coombs and Diana Olick probably get overlooked because they focus on delivering the news.
Power breakfast
When I called CNBC last week to request an interview with Bartiromo, I expected her to be wary.

Bed bug scare raises parents' concerns
By Max Hrenda
For the most part, people don't seem to like bugs.
Wives tell husbands, or vice versa, to kill the spider or insect that has invaded their home; children have been known to use magnifying glasses to focus the heat of the sun to burn ants; If a bee lands near someone eating their lunch, often times they will attack it until it flies away; and nothing chases a camper back into their tent like a swarm of gnats flying circles around their head.
Yes, people can be revolted by insects. But there is one instance where that revulsion is intensified … when a bug is on — or in — our skin.
So, when parents heard reports of a lice and bed bug outbreak at Keenburg Elementary Tuesday, naturally some parents were upset.
"It was a nightmare when I found out," said Heather Bunten, whose daughter MaKayla is a kindergarten student at Keenburg. "I wanted to keep her home to make sure she wasn't going to get it."
The incident may have been exaggerated, however, according to Keenburg Principal Jason Hartley.

Onward Christian Soldiers!
As our friend Matt Drudge would say… developing. Sorry, Matt, I don't have that kind of patience. Somewhere between 60 and 76 per cent of Americans identify themselves as 'Christian'. There's another 2.1 per cent of the population that are Jewish. Together, we comprise the largest Judeo-Christian nation in the world. We also represent the largest voting demographic in the nation.

Gernsheim, Germany
"We spent a week in Guesthouse Gerold and could not have been more pleased. Helena and Andrea were such wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. Helena greeted us cheerfully each morning and was eager to answer our questions. Each morning we had a delicious German style breakfast with fresh rolls, assortment of sausage and cheese, and delicious marmalade. Cereals, yogurt, and juice were also available. The coffee was delicious as well. Our rooms were very clean with fresh linens and towels. We would definitely return to Guesthouse Gerold in the charming village of Bad Kohlgrub whenever we return to southern Bavaria in the future."
