I'm working on building the ARRL dual moxon antennas, but the article isn't very detailed where I'd like it to be and a little over detailed in some places I wish it weren't. If you want to look, this is the URL (http://www.arrl.org/members-only/tis/info/pdf/0108038.pdf) 1. What are acceptable ways to terminate the paralled 75 ohm matching sections? I'm thinking now I'll just terminate them to a couple of ring terminals attached to the mast rather than terminating each one with a bnc and teeing them. 2. How do I feed the 70cm and 2m with the same feedline? should I just tee a 50 ohm line to two equal length 50 ohm sections? 3. This is more of a comment... I'm wagering the uhf version doesn't work at all... measurements are given to the hundreth of an inch - and then you solder a big ring lug to the end of it! 4. Are there any other good techniques for setting the distance between the reflector and driver besides heat shrink? The 70cm antenna is using #14 galvanized wire, and I can't think of anything small enough to hold them in place well. I found that the 3/16 rod for the 2m moxon will work great with 1/4" nylon tubing. Thanks for any feedback - I'll probably have more questions.. I'm sitting here with a half-made 70cm turnstyle, and am about to start on the 2m version. Whew - I'm beginning to think that a $1000 investment in rotators and antennae isn't such a bad idea after all!

text: HP awards PC work to Riney Published on September 09, 1998. Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Personal Systems Group, Santa Clara, Calif., named Publicis & Hal Riney, San Francisco, to handle a new incremental global brand assignment. Spending was not set but could be as high as an estimated $30 million. Publicis, whose London office handles the estimated $15 million PC product ad account in Europe, prevailed in an informal pitch against Saatchi & Saatchi, San Francisco, which handles the estimated $15 million U.S. PC product account. HP has asked Saatchi to continue with the U.S. work and to handle all PC global media buying., but Saatchi is expected to resign the PC account. That would pave the way for Riney to take over the U.S. PC product work. Saatchi's San Francisco office retains HP's estimated $50 million Enterprise Systems Group and the Pavilion home PC.Copyright September 1998, Crain Communications Inc.

Gyroscope, or gyro, is one of the most commonly used surveying equipments in the world. It is often seen in underground construction projects such as coal mining, tunnel drilling, and subway construction.
As a brand product of Beijing Institute of Space Launch Technology, a branch of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), BTJ series of gyroscopes were formerly used for initial directing and orientation for missile launching.
BTJ-15 gyro station is a combination of a BTJ gyroscope and a total station. The latter is usually a Leica TS06 2", one with sound reputation worldwide.
With a neutral, rapidly rotating gyroscope suspended inside the instrument, high accuracy is achieved with the BTJ-15 irrespective of the Earth's magnetic field. The gyroscope axis oscillates around geographic north as a result of the interaction of the gyro rotation,gravitational pull and the Earth's rotation. This enables a special electro-optical scanning system determine fully automatically where true north is with the utmost accuracy. It works fast-it takes no longer than 8 minutes to achieve a one-directional measurement with the accuracy of 15".
Unlike traditional gyroscopes, BTJ-15 is fully automatic. By pressing of a few keys, the rest will be done all by itself. It does not need the help of a compass to find the near-north direction, which is normally required for traditional apparatuses.It can work irrespective of weather condition, and it doesn't need to provide the known points.

Scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano has been berating her fans for sharing pictures of their genitals with her, finally retaliating by taking a hiatus from Twitter entirely.
From where else but Twitter:
Your replies really keep my spirits up, but some people send me really despicable things. It's gross so I suggest you don't look into it. They have such a nerve.
Everyone, please don't post any more links with pictures. I'm too scared to open them.
I really want to keep connected with you all on Twitter, but the lack of morals in that last pic means I'll only be posting announcements for a while. I hear that I should quit Twitter all the time, but I won't do that so relax please.
The person who posted the nasty pic isn't spamming any more. I'm frightened he'll do something else next. Please stop.
The person in question provided her with a photograph of his erection.
In response to her tweets, one fan has this rather cutting retort:
It's preferable to the time you showed me that picture of you having sex with your band member, isn't it?
Between her notorious reputation and her notoriously provocative antics on Twitter, it may be more surprising that she is sent anything other than penis snaps – although after having promised to shut up for a while in retaliation, it seems she is sure to be getting a lot more in future.

How To Make Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour isn't something I've always kept in the pantry. When I first started baking, I'd only occasionally stumble across a recipe for it and, without knowing what self-rising flour was, I'd skip over that recipe. A few years ago I started a personal quest to bake better biscuits, and that's where I learned to love this flour blend. Now self-rising flour is a staple in my pantry and it should be in yours as well.
What Is Self-Rising Flour?
Self-rising flour is a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Chances are high that you already have those staples in your pantry already too. The blend is typically comprised of 1 cup of all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt.
The History of Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour was created in the mid-1800s by an English baker, Henry Jones, who hoped to sell it to the British navy so that they could make fresher baked goods available to sailors. He patented his invention in the United States in 1849, giving rise (pun intended) to modern dry mixes like Bisquik, Jiffy, and later boxed cake mix. It remains a popular staple in England and the southern United States.
When to Use Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour was created for baking quick breads, biscuits, and pancakes. You'll occasionally see it called for in cake and cupcake recipes. Self-rising flour should not be used in yeast breads, nor should it be used in place of plain all-purpose flour.
Storing Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour has a slightly shorter shelf-life than regular flour because being exposed to the flour, salt, and air, the baking powder begins to lose its effectiveness. Mix up self-rising flour in smaller batches and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Whether I buy self-rising flour or make my own, I always label the jar with the date it was made or purchased, and plan to use it within a year.
Read more: A Complete Guide to Storing Your Flour
Making Your Own Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour is available commercially, most supermarkets carry at least one brand, so picking up a small bag is ideal if you're baking for one. I almost always take a small bag with us on vacation because self-rising flour can make quicker work of pancakes, biscuits, and cornbread since there are fewer ingredients to measure out. But let's say you come across a recipe calling for this flour blend and you can't get your hands on some. This recipe will walk through how to quickly make a batch of self-rising flour from other pantry essentials.
How To Make Self-Rising Flour

Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind." -Dr. Suess
Middle school is an awkward time in a persons life. It is a time when people are making new friends and trying to fit in. It is also a time when one is making certain decisions that have never been made before. Middle school is when everyone grows up and tries to act more mature than they did in 6th grade.
I was always on the quiet side in grade school. I tried to do better than everyone else and I was probably called a teacher's pet. I saw middle school as a new beginning. A chance to change myself. A way to get what I thought I wanted. I wanted to be friends with the "popular" kids. The pretty girls and the cute guys. I wanted to be one of them.
The first thing I did was join the basketball team because the cool kids did sports. I hated playing basketball. It was worth it though because by the end of the season, I was good friends with all the popular girls who played basketball. I got invited to the sleep-overs and the movies. I got to sit at their lunch table and talk to them in the halls. All my dreams had come true.
I wish I could've realized they were all fake sooner than I did. They said the meanest things about people I was friends with when they didn't know them at all. Assumptions were made about every girl who didn't dress the way we did or say the things we did. Vicious notes were written in every class about the girl sitting next to us or behind us or in a different classroom altogether. I went along with thinking we were somehow higher than everybody else. That somehow we had a right to look down upon those not in our circle. I didn't just enjoy this, I loved it. I savored every minute of it. I was glad I was doing the talking and not being the one talked about.
I finally realized what I was a part of was wrong. I began to question why we got to make fun of kids and get away with it. I also realized that I didn't really agree with anything they did; I just went along with it because I wanted to fit in. I didn't mean anything I said, but I had to say it to keep those friends I had wanted. I began feeling as though I wanted to stick up for someone, I should be able to do it and my friendships should still last.
I gave up trying to fit in and found a group of friends I was comfortable with. We didn't have to gossip about everyone else to have fun or get along. I could say what I wanted and be who I really was with them. I could really call them my best friends and not question that at all.
So I believe that you should always be who you are. If you can't be your true self, then who are you being? And say what you feel. How you feel isn't, and shouldn't be, the same as everyone else. Because those who mind, don't matter. The people who try and tell you what you should think, don't matter. And those who matter, don't mind. Your friends who care about you will let you believe in whatever it is you believe in.

The breasts by far happen to be one of the most appealing physical features of a woman. In addition to making a woman look more attractive, they can enhance a woman's self-confidence and ethical esteem. Unfortunately, not every female out there is endowed with the best pair of breasts that match her height, weight and personality.
Why some females have small breast?
Some females end up with little breasts that make them feel unpleasant about sprucing up or moving around in social circles. Although the factors for little busts might differ, many women wishing to enhance their bust size usually go with surgery. In addition to being an expensive procedure, breast enhancement procedure does not always offer productive outcomes and can leave irreversible adverse effects that can be much more disastrous to manage.
How massage can increase your breast size?
Massaging your breasts routinely is considered to be among the best steps to naturally increase boobs size. A routine breast massage for about half in hour every day can effectively increase the breast by one cup size in simply one month.
See: Why are some guys like big breast ?
Massaging your boobs would enhance blood flow along with the circulation of phytoestrogens found in the bloodstream to the breast (hormones important in the growth of busts). Massaging the breasts routinely would also stimulate the enhanced production of prolactin, a bust enlarging hormonal agent that would be instrumental in increasing the bust size.
How you need to do it: Rub the palms of your hand together as quick as you perhaps can. This would create some heat and energy. After rubbing your hands quickly together for about 6-10 seconds, put them on the busts. Rub your breasts inwards (clockwise direction on the ideal breast and anticlockwise direction on the left breast).
Continue rubbing the breasts for about 3 seconds . Follow this with at least 400 counts each morning and night every day for a month to efficiently enhance your breast size. The workout may take about 25 minutes and you would have to rub your hands together at routine intervals to keep the heat and energy streaming into the busts.
Food you can eat to enhance your breast size
1. Milk Dairy- items consist of comparable reproductive hormones to those found in the human body. The cow's milk for example has naturally occurring hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin which are required for milk production in animals.
2.spinach– Leafy Green Vegetables. Green leafy veggies are healthy however they do not consist of adequate phytoestrogens that can stimulate the breast tissue to grow.
Still, leafy green vegetables such as alfalfa, spinach and brassicas are abundant in natural antioxidants, iron and calcium. At the same time, these can help in the total appearance and tone of industrialized busts.
3. Seeds- Whether it is sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, anise seeds or flax seeds, seeds benefit you. It assists boost natural estrogen levels in your body which in turn enhance your bust size. Mix it with your preferred snack or sprinkle it on top of your salad. Whatever your choice might be, seeds benefit your breasts and body.
The above ideas are tips you can use to enhance your breast size fast.with these tips you will be able to have the appealing beauty you are looking for.):

The Republicans finally found a leader. Too bad he's a Brit.
Daniel Hannan, who represents South East England in the European Parliament, stood up in that chamber and forcefully addressed Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
"Prime Minister," MEP Hannan said, "I see you've already mastered the essential craft of the European politician, namely the ability to say one thing in this chamber and a very different thing to your home electorate. You've spoken here about free trade, and amen to that. Who would have guessed, listening to you just now, that you were the author of the phrase 'British jobs for British workers' and that you have subsidized, where you have not nationalized outright, swathes of our economy, including the car industry and many of the banks? Perhaps you would have more moral authority in this house if your actions matched your words. Perhaps you would have more legitimacy in the councils of the world if the United Kingdom were not going into this recession in the worst condition of any G-20 country.
"The truth, Prime Minister, is that you have run out of our money. The country as a whole is now in negative equity. Every British child is born owing around 20,000 pounds. Servicing the interest on that debt is going to cost more than educating the child. Now, once again today you try to spread the blame around; you spoke about an international recession, international crisis. Well, it is true that we are all sailing together into the squalls. But not every vessel in the convoy is in the same dilapidated condition. Other ships used the good years to caulk their hulls and clear their rigging -- in other words, to pay off debt. But you used the good years to raise borrowing yet further. As a consequence, under your captaincy, our hull is pressed deep into the waterline under the accumulated weight of your debt. We are now running a deficit that touches 10 percent of GDP, an almost unbelievable figure -- more than Pakistan, more than Hungary, countries where the IMF have already been called in. Now, it's not that you're not apologizing; like everyone else, I have long accepted that you're pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility for these things. It's that you're carrying on, willfully worsening our situation, wantonly spending what little we have left. … In the last 12 months, 100,000 private-sector jobs have been lost, and yet you created 30,000 public-sector jobs.
The British prime minister's "solutions" resemble those of President Barack Obama, the Democrats and some Republicans -- solving a spending and borrowing crisis by spending and borrowing. Yet Obama brazenly calls his budget "A New Era of Responsibility."
On a recent cable newscast, a pundit actually said that "capitalism" no longer works. And he was a former top aide to then-Republican House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich! The future of this country, at least in my lifetime, has never seemed more frightening and uncertain.
While President Obama busies himself changing the very foundation that made America great, he might sign an executive order -- granting immediate citizenship to Daniel Hannan.

FASCINATING. For two hours Geraldo Rivera stood there in front of a television camera, bringing new meaning to the words rinky-dink, tickey-tack and Mickey Mouse.
He claimed he was hosting the opening of a mystery vault sealed up by the late Al Capone, a cavern that might yield millions of dollars in illicit profits, the moldering bones of long-gone rivals, or perhaps the unpublished works of Bugs Moran.
Before the show was 10 minutes old the cover story was blown. It was clear that somebody was pulling a big joke on Geraldo and everybody out there in TV- land.
The first clue was The Weapon. In an effort to show their sincerity the producers had squeezed a mini-front end loader into the basement of Capone`s old Chicago headquarters, the derelict Lexington Hotel. Geraldo kept calling The Weapon a bulldozer. It looked like a Tonka Toy.
I was hooked. Nobody has the brass to go through with this, I told myself. You`ve got to hang in for the surprise ending. Maybe Billy Sunday will leap out of a cake.
To prove he wasn`t joking about the hidden treasures, Geraldo trotted out an IRS tax expert who was there to make sure the government got its $800,000 share of the loot.
Another joke. The expert was a Danny DeVito look-alike. All that was missing was the theme song from Taxi.
With the tension so thick you could cut it with your thumb, the demolition crew hooked the Tonka Toy to the wall.
Pull. Strain. Crash. The vault was open and there it was. Capone`s hidden wealth. Dirt!
While the Tonka Toy poked at the priceless Chicago landfill, the host went off to learn how to handle a sub-machine gun. You want to see a guy with a lot of teeth you have to see Geraldo, all slit-eyed, riddling a row of bottles in Scarface`s old target range.

From Brian McEnery, ACCA president
It's almost a year since we announced our strategic alliance with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). It's been an exciting 12 months and I've been really pleased with the benefits and value the alliance has created. To see members meeting and sharing insights at events across the Asia Pacific region and in the UK has really brought home to me the importance of what we are trying to achieve.
I've recently returned from a summit meeting in Singapore with the president of CA ANZ, along with other senior member representatives and key employees, where we assessed progress and explored opportunities to further deepen the relationship.
The alliance has increased the profile of both designations worldwide, through joint research such as the G20 public trust in tax report we co-produced which looked at people's views on taxation across G20 nations. The work, which we also carried out with the International Federation of Accountants, made headlines across the world.
We've also increased the range of CPD resources available to members globally by sharing learning opportunities, covering a wide range of topics which have been delivered in both online and face-to-face formats.
Going forward we want to further strengthen the way we work together and have agreed we will co-locate a small number of employee teams in London, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. This important step will see teams developing combined strategies that will benefit members and business, and will help them create more joint member events.
At the meeting, we also reiterated the purpose of the alliance, which is to:
• increase the profile of both brands worldwide
• enhance support to members and wider stakeholders
• contribute to the development of the profession and business world
• demonstrate the strength of a progressive alliance across the accounting sector.
I look forward to reporting on further progress. In the meantime, you can find more information about the CPD opportunities and access our special joint publication Reach, highlighting key challenges facing accountants across the world, at accaglobal.com/alliance.

I`ve got some horrifying quotes back from suppliers, here and abroad, on a magnet that I had designed.
It forced me to rethink my strategy and look at different magnets again. Will it work if one sticks two identical magnets (say 1/4 inch thick) on top of each other before placing them on the rotor disc? If a rotor is made up in this way will the magnetic field be any different from a rotor that is made up from a single layer of the same-size but 1/2 inch thick magnets?

Hal Heiner and K.C. Crosbie ticket: What it brings and its potential effect on the 2015 field
And they're off.
Louisville developer Hal Heiner and former Lexington Councilwoman K.C. Crosbie will be the first 2015 gubernatorial ticket out of the gate on Tuesday when they make their announcement in Lexington.
Heiner, the 62-year-old former Louisville councilman who narrowly lost the 2010 race for that city's mayor, has been looking at making a run for governor since last summer. And in Crosbie, he has found a fellow former urban county official between 2007 and 2012.
But Crosbie, 44, also has experience running statewide, having narrowly lost the state treasurer's race in 2011. Crosbie currently serves as both national committeewoman for the Republican Party of Kentucky – a position she won in the 2012 GOP reorganization convention by defeating incumbent Gale Russell – and as finance chairman for the Republican Party.
Through that position, Crosbie has built up a thick Rolodex of key Republican donors. Coupled with Heiner's personal wealth, a Heiner-Crosbie ticket likely won't be hurting for campaign cash. (The state GOP bylaws don't preclude Crosbie from serving in those capacities while running for an elected office).
And Crosbie's enthusiastic style contrasts with Heiner's sometimes more reserved demeanor.
Larry Cox, the Louisville Republican and former state director for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell,
"Hal is the whole package. I've always admired him as a very solid person as well as a successful businessman," Cox said. "When I say Hal is the whole package, he is a very mature individual who has been successful in business and as an elected official."
Cox said using the word "mature" was not meant as a slap at the Republican who is expected to be Heiner's chief rival, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer. Cox came out of retirement from government to work in the Ag Department during Comer's first year in office but retired again last spring. He said Comer is doing "a superb job."
But he said he has known Heiner longer and believes his ties to business community and approach to public education through his push for charter schools offers the best course for Kentucky.
And he said he considered Heiner's pick of K.C. Crosbie to only strengthen the ticket, adding someone who has run statewide, knows Kentucky's second-largest city and offers a strong female voice to the ticket.
The art of making a pick
Brian Crall, the former Republican state representative from Owensboro who considered the governor's race in 1999 and 2003, said picking a running mate is often over-analyzed by candidates, who look too much at geographic balance or natural constituency groups.
He said several candidates have asked what they should look for in a running mate and he points to the shattered working relationships that litter the road of recent Kentucky history: Paul Patton and Steve Henry, who barely talked by the end of their term, Ernie Fletcher and Steve Pence (Pence ultimately supported Fletcher's challenger in 2007), and even Gov. Steve Beshear and his first lieutenant governor, Daniel Mongiardo, who parted awkwardly.
"The history of the lieutenant governor and governor relationships has not been particularly great," Crall said. "So I told them worry less about the electoral dynamics and worry more about the capabilities and character of the person and make sure they're someone you can partner with."
Crall said Heiner has talked to "a number of capable people" for that role.
"If he's come down to K.C., I hope it's because K.C. shares his views and visions for what direction to take Kentucky," he said.
Neither Heiner nor Crosbie has commented publicly ahead of Tuesday's announcement, which is slated for 10 a.m. at Star Manufacturing, a metal stamping company in northeast Lexington.
Mark Stanley, president of Star Manufacturing, said a friend — whom he declined to name — asked him if he would host the event at his facility.
"They wanted a place where they could have a bunch of people meet," he said. He said he knows Crosbie and her husband, Scott, a former Lexington mayoral candidate who is partner in the firm Crosbie & May in Lexington. Stanley said he didn't know Heiner.
"I never heard his name until last week," he said. "I'm not very political."
Indeed, a search of his political donations shows he has given to four candidates in 15 years, including a district court judge candidate, Fayette County Attorney Larry Roberts and two Democrats who won special state Senate elections — Robin Webb in 2009 and Perry Clark in 2006.
The first domino?
But it remains to be seen whether Heiner's announcement will open the 2015 floodgates of candidates.
It won't bump up Comer's decision-making process.
"I wish them the best. But that ticket has no influence whatsoever on my timetable," Comer told Pure Politics on Monday. (Comer offered more of a jab when asked by Pure Poltiics about the Heiner-Crosbie ticket last month ).
Comer said he still plans to make public his decision in December and said he wasn't clear to WKBO in Bowling Green late last year when he indicated he would make his decision this spring.
"What I said was that we would start thinking about it in the spring. But if the decision was yes, I wouldn't enter the race until after the election," Comer said.
Cathy Bailey, the Louisville philanthropist and former U.S. Ambassador to Latvia, also is looking at running and making calls to Republicans around the state to potentially line up support.
"Kentucky is ready for a positive change and I'm confident that a vision for a brighter future for our great state will eventually be offered," Bailey said in a statement. "I welcome anyone to be a productive part of that discussion."
As for Democrats, they seem to have their own timetable. And many Democrats – both prospective candidates and interested observers – seem to be waiting on former auditor Crit Luallen to make her decision first. And she told Pure Politics last week she's still taking the necessary steps to run.
Picking sides?
This isn't the first time a Republican candidate has been first to announce for a wide-open governor's race. In February 2002, Rebecca Jackson, then the Jefferson County judge-executive, was first to form an exploratory committee for the 2003 race. Exploratory committees have since been eliminated from the law forcing candidates to find lieutenant governor candidates to run with them before raising and spending any money.
Republicans say they don't expect a vibrant primary to divide the party.
"It's a sign of vitality in our party that we're going to have what appears to be a number of very qualified candidates for governor in 2015," said Robertson, the party chairman.
If anything, the early dividing lines between Heiner and Comer are on urban and rural lines, said state Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, who said he intends to stay neutral.
"Right now, Comer would take Jessamine, Garrard and Mercer counties," he said. "We think we are rural even though we need to drive 50 miles in any direction to cities."
Ultimately, he said, it will be a popularity contest regardless of how the candidates try to make it about issues.
Tuesday's event will likely attract both Heiner's inner circle and curious onlookers who want a front-row seat to the 2015 race for governor.
But Crall, who said he isn't ready to officially pick a side yet, said while it might not be early for a ticket to announce, it's still a bit early for many Republicans to gravitate to a candidate or slate.
"What I'm seeing is that a lot of people are keeping their powder dry. For the most part, our commissioner of agriculture has been out and visible and has done a great job. And has been the kind of the presumptive candidate," Crall said. "But as I hear people, there are strengths to someone from the outside who hasn't spent the last 10 to 15 years in Frankfort. But people are waiting to see who gets in the race to before gravitation occurs."

To play handball, the correct equipment must be gathered and the each player should know how to serve, return the serve and rally. A match is won by the first side to win two games, with each game played to 21 points, according to the Southern California Handball Association
- Gather the equipment
Gloves and goggles must be worn, and the correct ball to be played with is a rubbery ball that is about 1 7/8 inches in diameter. Make sure the handball court is of regulation size with a service line, short line and restraining line.
- Serve the ball
The ball must be served from a stationary position in the service zone, which is between the service line and the short line. It must be bounced once by the server and then struck with the hand or fist so that it hits the front wall and bounces behind the short line for its first bounce.
- Return serve and rally
The receiver must stand behind the restraining line until the ball is struck by the server. To return the serve, strike the ball either in the air or after one bounce so that it hits the front wall in the air. The ball can hit off of either side wall and ceiling so long as it makes it to the front wall.
- Keep score to 21
Only the person serving can score a point. When the receiver wins a point, it is then his turn to serve.

L.L. Bean
Case Study: L. L. Bean, Inc.
1. Based on the information contained in the short case description, and on your own observations, what do you feel characterizes L. L. Bean's competitive strategy? What are the most essential "customer needs" that must be met by L.L. Bean L.L. Bean, Inc. is a mail-order, online and retail company based in the Unites States. The competitive strategy of L.L. Bean comes from its focus towards the customers and the satisfaction of them. This satisfaction comes in many different ways. At first there are the different ways of ordering possibilities which makes sure every customer can choose the option he/she likes best. Second there is the "100% satisfaction" which makes sure that customers can return their product if there is no full satisfaction and the products will be replaced or refund. Third there is the customer satisfaction department that is available for 24/7 in multiple languages free of charge. All this goes hand in hand with "L.L. Bean's Golden Rule".
2. Where on the "implied demand uncertainty spectrum" is the demand positioned that L.L. Bean faces? L.L. Bean offers a broad amount of products with a product life cycle for each of them. Although many products are functional, L.L. Bean offers also products which are more innovative products (e.g. fashion). Side mark is that the functional products are also renewed over time (e.g. improved versions) which turns them more to the right on the implied demand uncertainty spectrum. Another thing is that although L.L. Bean sells clothes, most of them are not in the high fashion. Overall this gives the idea that L.L. Bean is stationed in the middle of the spectrum with some of their products more to the left and some more to the right.
3. Where on the "supply chain responsiveness spectrum" should L.L. Bean's supply chain(s) be positioned? To have the advantage of a strategic fit, given the position of the implied demand uncertainty...

Kasagake or Kasakake (笠懸, かさがけ lit. "hat shooting") is a type of Japanese mounted archery. In contrast to yabusame, the types of targets are various and the archer shoots without stopping the horse. While yabusame has been played as a part of formal ceremonies, kasagake has developed as a game or practice of martial arts, focusing on technical elements of horse archery.
The word "kasagake" first appears in "Sadaie Assonn Ki" (定家朝臣記) by Minamoto no Sadaie in 1057 and "Shin Sarugō Ki" (新猿楽記) by Fujiwara no Akihira (989-1066)[1] while legendary sayings states kasagake has been started by Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147-1199).
At first, hats (ayaigasa) hung on azuchi were used as targets, later replaced by target specially made for kasagake, consists of wooden skeleton, cotton, wool or rice straws stuffing and leather surface, hung on wooden frames as in the picture above.
In Kamakura period, "the three martial arts of mounted archery" (騎射三物), which are yabusame, kasagake, and inuoumono, are widely practiced by samurai. These martial arts lost their importance when the Kamakura Shogunate fell. Kasagake was inherited just inside the Ogasawara and Takeda family as a part of bowing manners for long years.
In Edo period, under the command of Tokugawa Yoshimune, Ogasawara Tsuneharu revivaled the three martial arts of mounted archery.[2] Ogasawara school arts are played at Edo Bakufu's official yard Takadanobaba with the aid of Bakufu and Takeda school arts are trained in Jishukan school at Kumamoto by the Hosokawa family.
Today, Ogasawara school and Takeda school kasagake can be watched on some festivals, such as the shinji kasagake at Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto, Dousun Festival in Miura, Kanagawa and local festival in Kasakake, Gunnma, where Minamoto no Yoritomo performed kasageke.
The Rules and Styles of Kasagake[edit]
Details may varies from school. Below are some sample rules.
Yard Settings[edit]
Kasagake uses a 109 meters long horse yard. Fences known as "rachi" (埒, らち) are placed on each side of the horse running path: "saguri" (疏, さぐり). The target is set at the 71m point from the starting point "babamoto" (馬場元, ばばもと), the left side of the path. The archer shoots the target while running the path.
Like yabusame, the archers wear hitatare (直垂, ひたたれ, a formal dressing of samurai) and 行縢. Cuffs are not tied and traditionally igotes (射籠手, arm bands) are not put on. The archer does not wear the hat, for the hat was historically taken for the target.
The Variety of Kasagake Targets and Styles[edit]
- tōkasagake (遠笠懸, とおかさがけ lit. far hat shooting)
- Tōkasagake is the most common style of kasagake. A 55cm diameter circle target is set 11.4-22.7m far from the running path fence. Unlike yabusame, only one target is shot.
- Kokasagake or Ogasakake (小笠懸, こかさがけ or おがさがけ lit. small hat shooting)
- Usually performed on returning run of tōkasagake. Small (24cm-48cm)[3] square wooden board clipped on a bamboo bar is shot with smaller arrows. The target is set 2.3m from the fence, at the low place. Kokasagake declined aduring Genkyu era (1204), though there were some famous archers such as Hojo Tokimune, who is famous for kogasagake ("Agatsuma Kagami" April 25th, 1261 (Genkyu 1).)
- Kuji Kasagake (籤笠懸, くじかさがけ lit. lottery hat shooting)
- Kasagake conducted as a competition of martial arts. The referee (検見役) and the recoder (日記役) are involved. 10 participants are separated into 5 pairs by the lottery, and compete for the number of hits with a partner.
- Shinji Kasagake (神事笠懸, しんじかさがけ lit. divine hat shooting)
- Kasagake conducted as shrine ceremonies. Deer, birds, or fish devoted to the shrine are shot.
- Hyakuban Kasagake (百番笠懸,ひゃくばんかさがけ lit. 100-time hat shooting)
- Performed as a dedication for prayer. Each archer shoots 100 times.
- Tanabata Kasagake (七夕笠懸, たなばたかさがけ) or Sichido Kasagake (七度笠懸, しちどかさがけ lit. 7-time hat shooting)
- Kasagake as a tanabata event. Archers shoot the target seven times or shoot seven targets.
- Hasamimono (挟物, はさみもの lit. clipped objects)
- The archer shoots targets (typically ōgi, hand-held fans) clipped onto bamboo bars. This is usually done for recreation. Hasamimono also appears in other styles of kyūdo.

LAGUNA BEACH – Today, the Keirstead for Congress campaign announced it broke the single-quarter fundraising record for a Democrat running in CA-48 and out-raised the primary field two quarters in a row by raising $330,937.24 in quarter three of 2017.
"Along with breaking the fundraising record for Democrats in this district, Dr. Hans Keirstead has now out-raised the primary field every quarter he has been in the race," said Keirstead for Congress Campaign Manager, Kyle Quinn-Quesada.
"Democrats and Republicans agree that Dr. Hans Keirstead is the Democratic primary frontrunner and the strongest candidate to take on Dana Rohrabacher in 2018," stated Quinn-Quesada.
Dr. Keirstead's fundraising announcement comes on the heels of the equally historic elections rating upgrade by Cook Political Report that moved CA-48 from "Lean Republican" to "Toss Up" based on Hans Keirstead's candidacy.
Dr. Hans Keirstead: A husband, father, scientist and Orange County business leader, Dr. Hans Keirstead is one of the world's leading innovators in stem cell research and medical treatments. Hans has led therapy breakthroughs for late-stage cancers, multiple sclerosis, ALS, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal cord injury, and retinal diseases. Hans has launched multiple successful medical research companies in Orange County and is currently CEO at AIVITA Biomedical, where he is focusing on developing a cancer treatment that is proving to be the most effective treatment for cancer that has ever reached the final phases of clinical trials.
CA-48: California's 48th District has been represented by Dana Rohrabacher for three decades. Congressman Rohrabacher's ties to suspected Russian intelligence officials have garnered national attention. Hillary Clinton carried the district in 2016. The district has recently been classified as a "Toss Up" by Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball.

At the onset of the US-led military campaign in Afghanistan on Oct. 7, the warnings were rife. The airstrikes would unleash a flood of refugees, civilian casualties would incite opposition among Afghans and across the Muslim world, and the United States would slide into a drawn-out conflict against zealous, hardened holy warriors.
Yet after only two months, an efficient, almost surgical use of US troops and airpower destroyed the Taliban regime and left the terrorists it sheltered either dead, isolated, or on the run.
The US successes in Afghanistan so far have muted Washington's critics at home and overseas, while bolstering American public support for a broader war on terror.
Today, Washington's challenge is to maintain the public's focus on a sustained war on terrorism wordwide - with or without the quick taking of Osama bin Laden. To do this, the Bush administration has been refining its message to avoid projecting the war as the hunt for one man.
"This is not a war against Osama bin Laden; it's a war against terrorism," says Jeffrey Whitman, a former US Army officer and associate philosophy professor at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa. "President Bush doesn't want to personalize this war the way his father did for [Iraqi leader] Saddam Hussein - or that will backfire."
Overall, the conduct of the US-led campaign in Afghanistan has helped create a reservoir of American popular support for future military action. Three out of four Americans today support US military strikes against suspected terrorist bases in other countries, such as Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, according to a Dec. 18 ABC news poll. Almost as many people favor the deployment of US forces to Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
Moreover, Americans appear to be mentally prepared for a long, difficult war against terrorism. Overwhelmingly, they say the hardest part of the war is yet to come, and believe the war is likely to last for years rather than months, polls show.
"Americans have a great deal of faith in the military," says Tom Nichols, a professor of strategy at the US Naval War College in Newport, R.I. "By and large, they believe that if the military is ordered to do something, it's doable and the mission will succeed. Afghanistan has reinforced that viewpoint."
Overseas, meanwhile, the US action in Afghanistan has so far not generated the widespread popular opposition from the "Arab street" that pundits originally predicted.
"You don't see Islamic radicals rallying enthusiastically for Osama bin Laden. They are seeing him as a loser," says George Quester, an expert on military policy and terrorism at the University of Maryland in College Park.
At the same time, the routing of Al Qaeda and defeat of the radical Taliban regime in Afghanistan have sent a powerful message of American resolve to other states, spurring governments such as Yemen's to launch their own preemptive crackdowns on suspected terrorist groups within their own borders.
"If the question was, 'can we punish someone in a way that is meaningful?', the answer, not just here but around the world, is 'yes - we can not only punish the terrorists but push you out of office,' " says Mr. Quester.
Much of the credit for the smooth first phase of the war on terror goes to US commanders, military strategists say. They conceived of a calibrated campaign to destroy the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda terrorist network in Afghanistan, while at the same time avoiding civilian casualties and applying only as much US force as needed to get the job done. US forces have also correctly stayed focused on fighting terrorists and their backers, while leaving the post-war work of peacekeeping to others, they say.
Striking the balance between attaining key military objectives and using appropriate force has not been easy, however. For example, US care to identify targets and use precision weapons has helped minimize civilian deaths, but may also have allowed some Al Qaeda and Taliban members - including Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar - to escape so far.
US Defense officials stress, however, that although Mr. Omar and Mr. bin Laden remain at large, their ability to attract followers and plan operations has been sharply curtailed by their defeat in Afghanistan.
"He [bin Laden] is not the problem, the entire problem," said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in downplaying the importance of the bin Laden hunt last week. "The Al Qaeda is the entire problem. And the other terrorist networks are the problem."
Highlighting the need to focus on the networks, Rumsfeld said that US forces in Afghanistan "undoubtedly have prevented other terrorist activities" by gathering vital intelligence that has led to arrests of suspected terrorists in other nations.

* Employment likely rose by 125,000 jobs in October
* Jobless rate expected to tick up to 7.9 percent
* Average hourly earnings seen edging 0.2 percent higher
* Last major economic report card before Nov. 6 elections
WASHINGTON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. unemployment rate probably rose in October as employers stepped up hiring only slightly, underscoring President Barack Obama's vulnerability in next week's presidential election.
Employers likely added 125,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, according to a Reuters survey of economists. That would be up from 114,000 in September, but would fall short of what is needed to quickly cut the jobless rate.
Indeed, economists expect the unemployment rate -- a key focus in the neck-and-neck race for the White House -- to tick up by a tenth of a percentage point to 7.9 percent, reversing part of a surprise drop seen in September.
The Labor Department's closely watched report, which will be released at 8:30 a.m. (1230 GMT) on Friday, will be the last major report card on the economy before Tuesday's presidential election, which pits President Obama against Republican Mitt Romney.
If economists are right, it will show the eighth straight month of lackluster job growth, a worrisome trend that would likely reinforce the Federal Reserve's resolve to keep easy money policies in place until the economy shows more vigor.
``The weakness in overall economic growth momentum has extended into the last quarter of the year,'' said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities in New York.
Romney has made the nation's feeble jobs market, which has plagued Obama since he took office in 2009, the centerpiece of his campaign. The latest Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll showed Obama and Romney in a dead heat.
Still, the report could provide fodder for both candidates. Some economists have noted an increase in the jobless rate might have a silver lining if it is driven by Americans pouring into the labor market to restart job hunts.
Yet barring a sharp acceleration in hiring, the report will reinforce the idea that a full recovery from the 2007-09 recession remains distant. The jobless rate, which peaked during the recession at 10 percent, remains about 3 percentage points above its pre-recession level.
Whatever the outcome of the jobs report, the political impact of the report will likely be muted as most voters perceptions on the economy are likely firmly fixed by now.
Even with a moderate pace of job creation, the U.S. economy faces a real threat of a renewed recession next year.
Without action by lawmakers, the existing legislation will raise taxes and cut spending to the tune of about $600 billion in 2013. That scenario -- known in Washington as the ``fiscal cliff'' -- could easily cause the economy to contract. Fears of this possibility probably led businesses to hold back on hiring last month.
``The uncertainty around the fiscal cliff has caused companies to just pause,'' said John Canally, an economist at LPL Financial in Boston.
Europe's debt crisis, which has hit factories around the world, including those in the United States, is also weighing on the U.S. economic recovery.
U.S. manufacturers are seen shedding 4,000 jobs in October, which would be the third straight monthly decline.
With the overall pace of job growth still subdued, average hourly earnings are expected to rise a tepid 0.2 percent. The average workweek is seen holding steady at 34.5 hours.
October's projected payroll additions, if sustained, might be just enough to slowly bring down the unemployment rate.
Nonetheless, the Fed is expected to expand a new bond-buying program at the end of the year to compensate for the end of another stimulus program aimed at driving down borrowing costs.
Persistently weak labor market conditions led the central bank in September to launch a program to buy $40 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities every month until there is a sustained pick up in the labor market.
``The Fed is probably not impressed with the improvement in the job market over the past couple of months,'' said Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Why is it often times in a marriage as the years increase, the "fire" decreases? Who puts out the fire? The husband or the wife or both?
As humans, we constantly need freshness in our lives. It is hard for us to be content with what we have and we want more more more!
In the midst of focusing on what we don't have, we don't notice what we do have. Our relationships grow "old" or "dry" or "boring." We complain our husbands are not romantic enough and they've lost their ability to wow us or woo us. But is it really them or it is us? Have they become boring or have we?
We might have the mentality that "my man is not going anywhere" and we stop caring about keeping ourselves interesting and appealing. We let ourselves and our relationships fall into the routine and lose focus on what really matters: each other.
Men are simpletons and it's quite easy to keep their interest upon us. We have so much power in this department and we don't even know it nor use it to our advantage.
You might wonder why he doesn't compliment you as much anymore? Um if you are always walking around in stinky pj's full of baby spit up and God knows what else, do you really deserve to be complimented?
Ok, so let's bring the sexy back and remember that in this day and age, we have the easy accessibility to meet our desires elsewhere. We are surrounded by temptation and marriage is a means to protect oneself from all that. You are the one true source of pleasure and fulfillment for your spouse so make it worth his while! Keep making your man wanting you. Remember why go out for burgers when there is steak at home?
Here's 5 easy ways to bring the SEXY back:
1. Use the softness of your voice:
-When you talk on the phone anytime during the day use your sexy soft voice even if you are asking him to bring home some eggs. He might get a speeding ticket on his way home. In person, whisper into his ear. You may even say something like, "I can't find my socks." He will be paying more attention to the warmth of your breath against his ear and the sexiness in your voice…not what you're saying.
2. Dress to Impress:
-Especially when you have no plans to go anywhere and nobody is coming over to visit, you should be dressed like a hot mama. It's sad that women are the most modest and covered up in front of their hubbies. Or worse, they get all decked out to go to a party to impress others who won't care as much as your hubby that you look hot. It should be your husband that you get dolled up for not anyone else. He will appreciate it the most…trust me! Ok so some helpful hints…wear nice and fitting stuff for your man and when an opportunity arises (like when loading a dishwasher, give him a moment to look down your shirt or whoops, I dropped the spoon…turn around and pick it up…you get the drift). Oh and please open up the vault and air out the intimate apparel. That will always work its magic! Make your man scream, "Aa-woo-ga!"
3. Communicate:
-Throughout the day, give him constant reasons to keep thinking of you like sending him playful texts, emails, photos, messages on FB, whatever. Just get through to him somehow and let your feet get tired because you'll be running through his mind all day! Hahaha ok that was lame I know.
4. Through a man's stomach:
-No joke ladies. A way to a man's heart and then some is through his stomach. Make him his favorite meal or go out and buy it and he will find you finger linkin' good. What's cookin' good lookin'?
5. Exercise does a body good:
-You don't even have to lose a pound. Just start working out (in front of him might do even more wonders) but a woman that works out is super attractive. It shows you care about your health and yourself and he will appreciate you so much more. So let's get physical! Physical!

The Royal Shakespeare Company has accomplished something masterful here: taking an obscure Shakespeare play and making it fresh, relevant, and inviting. David Tennant takes the title role under Gregory Doran's direction, carrying this strange little history with deft, light touches. The two collaboratively brought humor and tragedy to the play, engaging the audience's attention and sympathy. Tennant's posturing and effeminate mannerisms made him delicately clownish, and his moments of revelation and helplessness made him a tragic hero on the level of Oedipus or Hamlet.
The story, adapted (like many of his histories) from Shakespeare's own society, concerns King Richard II, an egocentric and inept monarch fighting to hold the power being stripped of him by an upstart knight. However, this production brought a whole new element to the play, an examination of the true effects of power on the individual.
This theme was exceptionally resonant in today's world where celebrities are raised up as gods and dashed down as jokes once they make a mistake. The RSC's Richard was then not a tired run-through of an irrelevant monarchical struggle, but rather a tragic meditation on those unlucky few whose lives are based solely in their stardom.
As a resident of Southern California myself, I harbor a strong understanding of this ugly phenomenon. The total dismissal of privacy on the part of the press has long been a rampant issue for celebrities; subsequently much of Hollywood culture creates a feeling of ownership and dehumanization of stars. Everyone feels entitled to a piece of this person's existence. And consequentially, it is all too common that the stars become dependent on this attention: as soon as they fall (or rather, are pushed) from the spotlight, their power, their relevance, their entire livelihood disappears.
Richard's poignancy therefore comes from heightening of this effect. Doran interpreted many of Richard's speeches to express the draining of the celebrity-self: at some point, after all the attention, the spoiling and idolization, the human at the center of the star begins to disappear. Richard's tragedy is not just in losing his throne, but in losing his self, the only Richard he has ever known, the "beloved" king.

Hello! First time here.
I've begun experiencing odd behaviour and I haven't personally seen this before in a windows computer.
I've seen various screen bugs before but, this one's a little different and it just screams to me that it's an issue with Windows 10.
This only started happening recently.
I have not updated any of my drivers because it shouldn't be of much concern this is the only visual glitch I've been experiencing since owning this laptop(nearing 3 years now, originally was windows 8):
Acer V3-772G
Windows 10
16GB DDR3 Memory
Intel Core i7-4702MQ @ 2.20GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 750M
The problem itself isn't urgent and is simple but odd in nature.
It's purely the desktop wallpaper experiencing issues. None of my icons are affected by it.
Originally this funny metal 'texture' would appear over my screen only on boot and log in(it's not all the time but very often) and it'd remove itself as I highlight things (so I would have to highlight the entire screen to remove this funny 'texture' completely off my wallpaper) hovering over to pre-highlight an icon would also remove this texture from around and in behind my desktop icons.
I ignored this until just then it happened mid session while I was on playing a game (may have been there for a few minutes unsure, as I'm fullscreen on my game etc.)
And despite highlighting things and moving my mouse around, it would not remove itself.
I fear the worst expecting to have to restart, but as I predicted, changing wallpaper got rid of the visual bug to my wallpaper, then changing it back to my wallpaper I normally used was fine.
Thanks for taking the time to read my odd issue, bit hard to search for problems like this as it's rather specific and there's always a lot of display issues. I've just never heard of one like this before. Hence my reasoning behind suggesting it's a OS issue with Windows 10.
Thanks again,
Images for reference:
(excuse me hiding all my icons, figured i'd just do it as it's not the focus regardless.)
One picture is when it happened just then and I couldn't get rid of the funny texture, note my wallpaper is visible at the very top however. Changing the wallpaper to something else then back resolved it though, unlike normal where on boot I can just highlight the entire screen and it'd fix itself. Included an image of what my wallpaper normally looks like.

Dunviro was the name the Romans gave to illustrious figures in society, whose socialimportance and relevance were acknowledged with their faces on the coins they minted.
Dunviro is the name that rescued from the two thousand year tradition of Calahorra, ourwinery uses as a tribute to the Roman roots of our city.
Foundation of the Bodega Cooperativa San Isidro (now Bodegas Dunviro, S.Coop.).A group of vine-growers from Calahorra decided to come together and found acooperative to make and market their wines.
Bodegas Dunviro markets its first bottled wine. At the beginning the destination of itswines was Calahorra, but little by little it expanded its commercial area to the whole ofSpain.
Bodegas Dunviro went international. We found our first foreign customer in Germany.Since 1993 our export customer portfolio has increased, and we are now present inseveral countries in America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Bodegas Dunviro moves to its new facilities at Carretera de Logroño, km 363 inCalahorra. It now has a plant with the most up-to-date technology divided into fourbuildings:- Preparation.- Ageing.- Bottling and warehouse.- Offices and shop
Bodegas Dunviro is 50 years old. In all this time, Dunviro has gone from being a projecta small group of winegrowers from Calahorra started with a lot of hard work to one ofthe benchmark Wineries in La Rioja.


text: I was just reading another post on here and it made me do a quick brainstorm of ideas for offline marketing. Props go out to deemos for the post @ http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/making-money/166563-how-i-made-money.html Offline methods of advertising are nothing new but I don't see them used atleast in my neck of the woods. I live by one of the largest malls in Maryland (Arundel Mills) and I see looks of Kiosks for different products such as Karate movies, cell phone accessories, Bathroom remodeling, etc but nothing for any of the niches that you see online. Yesterday I posted about advertising in magazines but what if you could get users to fill out offers right there or when they get home. For this to work it would have to be a high traffic area such as a mall on a Friday or Saturday night. It would have to be directed towards the younger crowd as I feel they would most likely fill the informaion out in return for a chance to win a cash, or a video game console, or a gift card, cell phone, whatever. Option 1: Setup a kiosk with a computer and internet access with your gateway where you have your CPA Offers. Let them choose the offer they want to complete (one page email submits or quick surveys). If you're CPA network shows live stats they you'll know if the offer converted. Have them fill out a form with there name, email address, and shipping address after they fill the offer/survey out (maybe you can build a list off it later). This could work at the movies, mall, after school functions, etc. Option 2: Have flyers that you can hand out to passing people (again younger crowd) where they have a chance to win a prom dress, or tuxedo rental, iPod, again whatever works best. They would fill out the offer when they get home. Now option #1 is more expensive but I feel you would get more conversions. How much would it be to buy and setup a kiosk. Here is another idea, Setup some kiosk that users can use for free. For them to be able to start their session they have to fill out a survey or do some task that would earn you money. After completion they get 5-10 minutes of use before they have to do another offer or task.

Beer spill, battery & ssd shot
I dismantled & cleaned everything. There was sticky flow residue running from left side of logic board from vent down to battery. Slight greenish corrosion on keyboard backlight terminal, but otherwise looked in decent shape. None of the moisture damage indicators have turned red on the logic board, but the battery PCB is bright red & won't charge nor run from battery. She won't boot from the SSD, but will boot from an external drive. SSD gets immediately too hot to touch, and the fan runs at max velocity. Also, the fan won't run w/ SSD removed. My DIY dilemma is determining whether the PCIe circuit has been compromised. I don't want to install a replacement SSD if there's a possibility of frying another drive. Anyone able to test if fan starts at boot w/o SSD? Not an electronics guy & having brain pain from trying to decipher schematic. Lots of nearly microscopic stuff in there. Sheesh!
Is this a good question?
Thanks Reece. I was afraid to plug a new SSD in until I determined the logic board was ok. Now my only issue is the battery. She won't start from battery, and will immediately boot when magsafe connector is engaged. The light on the magsafe connector is first green, and, after a few seconds, turns to amber. The battery is recognized by the system & the menu bar icon indicates charging w/ 47% power. Battery condition is "Replace Now". I'm guessing the battery PCB is bad, or the whole battery assembly is shot, Are there ways to troubleshoot this & can this status be reset.
Thanks a million
Glad the SSD sorted it. The green>amber light on the charger is normal. The battery will need replacing, the PCB for this is attached to the battery itself.
Get a long, flat painting knife, and you can carefully slide it underneath, while dipping it in isopropyl to help loosen the tape. Be careful though, if the battery is punctured, it is dangerous.
If you haven't done this before, might be best to buy the whole palmrest with keyboard, battery and trackpad. Make sure you buy for 2015, batteries are different.

Sorry Krishna Thea — it looks like Padma Lakshmi is having all the fun without you. The Top Chef host took over Le Poisson Rouge in New York City Sunday and danced to "Get Down Tonight" with a crowd of nearly 200 babies.
"I love to dance, but so do most babies. It's a fun way to do something you're used to doing at 11:00 at night at 11:00 in the morning! It's nice, especially now that the weather is getting colder, to do something active with your baby," Lakshmi, 41, tells PEOPLE at the Huggies Little Movers Slip-On event.
What gets 20-month-old Krishna moving on the floor? "Anything Beyoncé! I'll put it on the iPod and she dances to ['Single Ladies']," she says. "She's running around and she's a daredevil."
And although they share their love of dance, Lakshmi insists her daughter is very much her own person.
"She has her own personality and she's like she is," the host explains. "She has her own little way of speaking and her own little accent. She has a fully-formed personality and it's evolving and changing every day."
Her baby girl's appetite is also evolving.
"Krishna's diet is great. She's a very good eater. She doesn't eat land animals or poultry — she only eats seafood and dairy and eggs," notes Lakshmi. "She gets a lot of protein. She loves edamame with soybeans. She loves black eyed peas and kale — lentils. She's Indian, so she eats a lot of lentils. She loves Catalina beans — anything that she can pick up with her fingers. She loves noodles. She's a great eater — I'm very lucky."
The latest season of Top Chef premieres Wednesday, Nov. 2 at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

On my birthday, a few days after the New Year, we went out for dinner with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. Everyone at the table made a toast at some point in the evening. Mine was To a year of Courage.
Courage: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear or difficulty (Merriam-Webster).
Courage means being in action in the face of fear. If you experience no fear, you summon no courage. I think it's interesting that a word we associate with physicality (the image of a knight, sword in hand, going out to meet the dragon) is actually about mental or moral strength rather than physical force. Courage is the mental game behind the physical action - what goes on inside your head and gut as you leap (or crawl) into the unknown.
When Mikhail and I made a list of things we want to do this year, it included:
I would definitely say we are being successful with that one. Because when you're in the middle of major transitions, when your life becomes make-it-up-as-you-go, when you're searching for purpose and vision and security and income, there's lots of scary stuff to do. It's inspiring and invigorating, confronting and exhausting -- often inside the same day.
