What did the Founding Fathers think about the nation borrowing money?
This is a continuing discussion brought about by reading Glenn Beck's book Original Argument. The Federalist Papers that deal with finances is quite amusing to say the least. Let's open for discussion the idea of national debt. The Founding Fathers were totally against a national debt. They felt a debt enslaved the country doing the borrowing.
Publius does a bit a writing about States having no debt and a small real estate tax. Way back then they talked more about the value of land because more people were farmers and land was a value. Today, for most home owners the value of the land seems to vanish from the appraisals. Location may be a factor but land seems to have no value. But who ever heard of building a house without land? Whoops some smart developers have already done that.
But the Founders did place value in reaping rewards for your work. Publius writes about the hardworking farmer, the active mechanic and the industrious manufacturer. So it looks like the founders knew about small business and they realized they were the backbone of the country and its commerce.
And the main purpose of the federal government was to make sure that commerce was free to flow. If Commerce was free to flow than there would be more money in circulation. And the speed of this flow of money was important. If there was a great deal of commerce and money then there would be an ability for our country to pay taxes.
This stuff was written in defense of the states ratifying the U.S. Constitution. So basically the founders knew that commerce was important to the prosperity of the country. And taxation by states or the Feds could hinder the flow of this precious commerce. And noble men would be pretty dumb if they got in the way of the flow of commerce.
Let's extend this argument to energy and other resources like water. If a town or city had electricity then its ability to prosper grew in leaps and bounds because the electricity was used to make commerce more efficient and productive.
In our life time Al Gore invented the internet. And when this new marvel came along people had no idea what an influence it would have on our lives. Some may be considered bad and evil, but for the most part a new commerce or a better commerce has grown from the internet.
Of course when new things come along, we sometimes lose things. When was the last time you had to feed and saddle your horse to get to town?
So we can see that our founders were very much aware that this free flow of commerce was not only important to the prosperity of our country, but the liberty and freedom associated with this mass prosperity was just as important to the free flow of commerce.
So we need to open up a discussion on the intrusiveness of Obama's policies and how they effect the flow of commerce. Easy pickings include taxes on gasoline. Regulations on coal, gasoline, and nuclear energy. We should also include water as well. Not much can be built without water.
So every time the liberals like Obama try to regulate an industry, they intentionally try to stop the flow of commerce. Obama thought he could make Green energy rise from the oceans and eliminate oil and coal and natural gas. Obama thought he could make an electric car that would run on hot air rather than coal, natural gas, and nuclear.
Cap and trade is a tax on commerce. Obama and the commies want to hinder U.S. Commerce in the name of carbon emissions. Aren't these the same idiots that said the hole in the ozone was going to melt our children! Bottom line is they want to tax you and American Businesses that have not been sent to China yet, so we can send this money to under-developed countries. Don't we have under-developed inner cities that keep voting Democrats into office. Yet these same clowns want to send your money to other countries. It makes more sense to send our Judges and Representatives to other countries. Probably would be a lot cheaper!
Excise tax was frowned upon by the founders. Excise tax is a tax on business. It includes all those regulations that tax the bejesus out of businesses. Most voters do not see these taxes. They are considered indirect taxes. But the public does feel the effect by paying higher prices. If the prices can not be competitive then the company goes out of business. That is capitalism at work: As long as another American business can pick up the slack by innovative means. But in this country our elected officials and bureaucracies allow American businesses to move out of the country and then invite them to sell their lesser quality products to the American taxpayer and Businessmen. Our Founding fathers would say that is a lot of bull. All these actions are ways the government and liberals like Obama allow people to make money in foreign countries while the commerce flow in the United States in being reduced.
Commies like Clinton honestly felt the U.S. could still be profitable selling Chinese products in this country, especially when the Chinese made huge contributions to the Clinton causes. But in the end, the American Commerce has been affected by the shenanigans of money hungry folks like Clinton. When you hear your phone call to Verizon being picked up by someone in Eastern Europe, you have to start asking, where are our representatives and how come they haven't protected the American jobs. Anyone can answer a phone, why can't Verizon phones be answered in the United States for American customers?
We keep paying our Judges and Representatives large sums of money. But their actions do play a large role in screwing up the United States Commerce. First step should be to stop paying them. And then the commerce will flow as the founders had predicted.
And the founders were totally against consumption tax. But they left the ability to tax in the document such things as poll tax in case there was an emergency. This allows all our liberal judges and representatives to just keep opening that door wider and wider and tax more and more businesses and people. Trillions of taxpayer dollars and borrowed money has been thrown at poverty and today there is more poverty then ever. It is time to teach our elected officials to get out of the way of American Commerce and protect American jobs from the greed of American businessmen and their lobbyists who move American jobs abroad!
Americans come first, our elected and appointed officials should come last and least!
The bottom line is that we should only elect officials who appoint those who are part of our prosperity. If they get in the way of our commerce, we should get in the way of theirs!
There is a chicken in every pot… But it comes from commerce. No country liberal or otherwise can tax their way to a chicken in every pot!

Views on wines from Italy, California, Chile, Argentina and other great regions of the world from a freelance writer and photographer

Fixing Brunello
Along with tasting the new releases of Brunello, one of the great pleasures in returning to Montalcino each February is meeting with my friend Mircko Giorgini, who I first encountered four years ago at the annual tastings. Mircko is a sommelier and a retailer who co-owns a first-rate enoteca in nearby Cerbaia. He's been a great acquaintance, letting me know about many of the new producers of Brunello and offering his opinions on who he thinks makes great wines and who he thinks doesn't. He seems to know just about every producer of Brunello, so he's an invaluable source of information on this area's wines.
So when I sat down to lunch with him at Al Baccanale in the town of Montalcino, the talk naturally turned to the recent problems with Brunello that have made news worldwide. Mircko talked not only about the obvious tribulations of certain producers who have been accused of adding Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or other varieties to their Brunellos, but he also dealt with the bigger problem of where Brunello is headed. As there have been many opinons offered by American journalists as well as those from Italy (many of whom do not live in Tuscany), I was fascinated to hear the thoughts of someone who has first-hand contact with these wines on an everyday basis.
As for producing a Brunello that is not 100% Sangiovese, well as you can imagine, Mircko is strongly against this treatment. "I don't want the greenness of Cabernet Sauvignon. I don't want the color of Petit Verdot. Sangiovese is a great variety on its own, with garnet color and beautiful acidity."
Continuing, he told me, "We've known that some producers have been adding other grapes for some time. You can tell it by looking at the wines or smelling them. This whole affair could have been ended very quickly if a local official would have stepped in and demanded to see the cellars. But you had people collecting big salaries who did nothing."
For Giorgini, Brunello is about longevity, not trendiness. "We have to thank Giacomo Neri (the owner of Casanova di Neri, one of the most in-demand Brunello properties) for the 100 points he received for his wine a few years ago, because it has brought publicity to Montalcino. But many producers have tried to copy his wine in order to receive high scores from wine magazines. This has meant a change in the style of the wines."
"Forget about the 95 or 97 points you might get today. What will the wines taste like in twenty or thirty years? This is what Brunello is all about. The great wines from the 1970s and '80s that are drinking well today. We need to remember these wines."
Instant success is not what Giorgini is looking for in these bottlings. "A wine like Brunello really displays its terroir after eight years. Do the new style Brunellos do this as well?" He also thinks that some producers do not work as hard in certain less than successful vintages. "We have to strive to make great Brunello every year."
For Giorgini, he sees his job as a salesman as someone who is an educator about Brunello; he believes he and his fellow owners of local enoteche have a special responsibility. "I think an enoteca is like a pharmacy. We need to give the customer the right medicine, so to speak. We have to make the right selection of wines. We have to sell the real Brunello."

great read, thanks - so let me know: what are the producers your friend mircko thinks the most positive of ? what are hin favourites generally and what have been his favs in freom the 2004 brunellos ? thanks ! fedorReplyDelete
Thanks for the note. I didn't get into that discussion with him too deeply but he does like a mix of traditional and modern producers. Among others, he is a fan of Mastrojanni, Capanne Ricci and Pian dell'Orino.ReplyDelete

great article. love the sincerity behind mircko's sentiments, especially on quality and longevity.ReplyDelete
i'm also curious about who he would recommend (apart from neri) as quality brunello producers? i'm hoping to visit il poggione at next month's vinitaly expo myself.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad Mircko's sincerity came across in the article. He does like Il Poggione and I would strongly recommend you visit with them at VinItaly. They are one of the supreme traditional producers of Brunello (see my previous post). Fabrizio Bindocci, the winemaker, should probably be there- he is outgoing and quite kind.

I recently had the good fortune to taste 11 brunellos from 2004 all handpicked by my dear friend Tullio Scrivani of Enoteca Osteria Osticcio. Tullio is a die hard supporter of sangiovese purezza and I highly respect his stance and taste. The wines he selected did not have any of the problems recently associated with some brunellos. Most of them seemed to be very young and agile. The standouts for me were Sesta di Sopra, Salicutti, Canalicchio di Sopra, Stella di Campalto and Lambardi. Of the "modern style" brunelli my favourite was San Filippo with Siro Pacenti slightly disappointing in its oakyness and with rather obtrusive tannins. Last summer I have visited three biodynamically oriented estates: Pian dell'Orino, Sesti and Campi di Fonterenza and though their wines were not present at our tastings I have no doubt that their brunellos will be among the best of the vintage.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree with you on the Stella di Campalto and Sesta di Sopra. I did also taste the Pian dell'Orino and thought it was outstanding.
Like your friend Tullio, I am a firm believer in sangiovese purezza and traditional Brunello. I hope I can meet your friend on my next visit to Montalcino!
Actually, I did meet your friend Tullio during my recent visit, as I was at the Enoteca. I only said hello and did not get a chance ot talk with him, though I did speak with his lovely wife.
That is where I tasted the Stella di Campalto and Pian dell'Orino.

Is anybody tasted La Fornace or La Palazzetta ?ReplyDelete
What do you think ?
Sometimes I have a very hard time to describe Castelnuovo's Brunello at younge stage, are different than Torrenieri, very tight....
By the way I love Baricci's Rosso, best value !

In our regular Sunday feature, FIFA.com presents you with some of the biggest names in football who will be celebrating their birthdays over the coming week.
6. Andy Carroll (24) enjoyed an eventful year, with the highlight his inclusion in Roy Hodgson's England squad for UEFA EURO 2012, where he made three appearances, scoring once. The challenge for the robust target man now consists of establishing himself in the Three Lions' first XI, so that he can play a central role in the ongoing qualifying campaign for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. Carroll turned professional at Newcastle United, with whom he experienced the lows of relegation from the Premier League as well as the highs of promotion 12 months later. During a four-year spell at St James' Park, the English striker spent one season on loan at Preston North End. In the middle of the 2011/12 campaign, he signed for Liverpool, where he picked up an English League Cup winners' medal. At the start of this current term, he was loaned out to West Ham United with the aim of increasing his playing time.
7. Kais Ghodhbane (37) helped Tunisia to qualify for their second-ever FIFA World Cup in 1998, and subsequently represented the Carthage Eagles at Korea/Japan 2002 and Germany 2006. He also played at the 1996 Olympic Football Tournament in Atlanta and the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, as well as at six consecutive CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. After losing out in the final of 1996, the midfielder finally emerged victorious at the continental event in 2004, where he and his team-mates were spurred on by a vociferous home support. It was in the colours of Etoile du Sahel that Ghodhbane made his name, winning numerous trophies during his time with the Tunisian giants. He then exported his skills abroad to Turkey, where he turned out for Diyarbakirspor, Samsunspor and Konyaspor, before returning home to see out his career with his former employers.
8. Hanna Ljungberg (34) is one of the greatest goalscorers in the history of Swedish football. She appeared at three FIFA Women's World Cups™ in a row, securing a runners-up spot at USA 2003, and also at three Olympic Women's Football Tournaments. The prolific forward built an equally impressive career at club level, securing three league titles, four Swedish Cups, two Swedish Super Cups and two UEFA Women's Cups – a competition in which she finished second three times – with Umea IK. As far as individual achievements are concerned, she finished top scorer in the Swedish League in 2001/2002 and in the UEFA Women's Cup, on two different occasions. Ljungberg was recently handed a coaching role with Umea.
9. Gennaro Gattuso (35) was instrumental in Italy's capture of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, missing just one match during the entire competition. Four years later at South Africa 2010, however, he only took part in one encounter before La Nazionale's disappointing group-stage exit. The tough-tackling midfield man also competed at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and at two UEFA European Championships, and claimed the UEFA European U-21 Championship in 2000. Gattuso originally came through the ranks at Perugia, before moving to Rangers in Scotland, and then Salernitana in his homeland. His performances piqued the interest of AC Milan, where he not only found the ideal platform for his abilities, but also enjoyed great success, winning two Serie A championships, one Italian Cup, two Italian Super Cups, two UEFA Champions League titles, two UEFA Super Cups and the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup. After struggling to maintain a first-team place at the Lombardy club, Gattuso put pen to paper with Swiss heavyweights Sion at the start of this season.
10. Edu (34) has played for prominent sides on both sides of the Atlantic, starting out at Sao Paolo before travelling to Europe to join Celta Vigo. After four campaigns in Galicia, the attack-minded Brazilian signed for Real Betis, with whom he lifted the Copa del Rey. Five years down the line, he returned to Brazil to don the jerseys of Internacional and Vitoria, before spending last season with Colorado Rapids. Edu represented his country at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, and has been capped once at senior level.
11. Emile Heskey (35) appeared in all of the Three Lions' fixtures at both Korea/Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010. In addition, he participated in the European Championships of 2000 and 2004. Heskey rose to stardom at Leicester City, where he won two English League Cups. A move to Liverpool saw him record further triumphs, in the FA Cup, the League Cup (twice), the Community Shield, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. Following his successful stint at Anfield, he went on to play for Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa and Australian outfit Newcastle Jets, his current employers.
12. Robert Prosinecki (44) is a living legend of Yugoslavian and Croatian football, having forged a remarkable career for himself at domestic and international level. He inspired Yugoslavia to victory in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 1987, and to a runners-up place at the UEFA European U-21 Championship two years later. Later that same year, he was selected for the senior side's final squad for Italy 1990. After Croatia became an independent nation, the creative midfielder propelled the newly formed country to maiden qualifications for the European Championship, in 1996, and for the FIFA World Cup, in 1998. At the latter tournament in France, the Croatians shocked the watching world by finishing third, knocking out Germany along the way. Prosinecki appeared at his final FIFA World Cup in 2002. The skilful playmaker started out at Dinamo Zagreb, before joining Red Star Belgrade, where he earned winners' medals in three league campaigns, one Yugoslav Cup and one European Cup, attained in 1991 versus Marseille. The Croatian is one of just a few players to have defended the colours of La Liga's two biggest clubs, Real Madrid, with whom he held aloft the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup, and Barcelona, where he also won the Supercopa de Espana. During his stay in Spain, he also had relatively brief stints with Real Oviedo and Sevilla. He then re-signed for Dinamo Zagreb, where he added three Croatian league championships, a Croatian Cup and a Croatian Supercup to his footballing CV, before embarking on a nomadic adventure that saw him star for Standard Liege in Belgium, Portsmouth in England and Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia, where he hoisted the national cup. A final fling with NK Zagreb was followed by retirement and a move into coaching. After leading Red Star Belgrade to Serbian Cup glory in May of last year, he took charge of Turkish outfit Kayserispor in October.

Product Description
Trade cards were one of the most popular forms of advertising during the 1800's and were used to promote anything from dry goods to clothing stores. Sam Loyd was approached by a number of organizations who wanted to use his puzzles to promote their goods and since he owned his own printing press he would design and print these cards.
Since they were giveaways many have not lasted the hundred plus years since they were created and so The Sam Loyd Company has opened its archives to make these cards once again available in their original form just the way Sam Loyd made them way back.
Can you show how the quarrelsome neighbors never cross paths again?

A recent survey reveals what's most important to buyers
What's the most important factor to buyers when selecting a staffing service? If you guessed price, you were wrong.
According to a survey of buyers by Staffing Industry Analysts, 77 percent rate quality of workers as their top concern.
Only 12 percent cited speed of placement as the most important factor. And only 12 percent said that price was the top criterion.
"Quality was far and away the most common motivator for the majority of buyers in all groups surveyed," says Robert Balicki, research associate at Staffing Industry Analysts. "Even then, some groups stood out: managed service provider users, buyers in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical equipment industry, and buyers of industrial and logistics staffing were particularly likely to be motivated by quality."
In addition, survey results suggest staffing buyers who value quality may be among the most likely to increase use of temporary workers.
"There is some evidence in the survey of a business opportunity for staffing firms that can consistently deliver quality candidates," Balicki says. "Buyers who cited quality as the most important aspect are more likely to say they will increase the use of agency temporary workers in the next two years, compared to those motivated by price or speed."
However, the survey found that staffing buyers have a fair to middling view of the quality of workers they are receiving from their temporary staffing providers.
When asked about the best way to find quality workers, 32 percent of buyers said staffing firms were the best way to go. In comparison, the same percentage said going with statementof- work consultants was the top method to get quality workers. Twenty percent said bringing in independent contractors was the best way to get quality workers, and 17 percent cited internal pools of temporary workers as the best method.
Aside from quality, buyers resoundingly ranked staffing firms at the top in terms of other factors including reduced legal risk, time to fill and availability of workers.
The findings come from the 2011 Contingent Buyers Survey, which took place in the second quarter of 2011 and included responses from 236 contingent workforce buyers at 187 large companies with 1,000 or more employees. The survey was conducted by Staffing Industry Analysts, the publisher of this magazine.
Twenty-six percent of the buyers in the survey had contingent workforce spend of between $100 million and $250 million.
Quality Also Mattered in the Past
This is the first year buyers were asked directly to rank factors in terms of importance when considering temporary staffing services. However, buyers have cited the importance of quality in previous surveys by Staffing Industry Analysts.
In the 2010 survey, 51 percent of buyers said difficulty in finding quality people tends to encourage the use of contingent workers.

International monetary
matters that affect our lives
are explained by Mr. Edward B.
McEnerney, H&S editorial
consultant and an analyst of
international economic affairs.
It seems that most Americans have
been taking the international monetary
system for granted. We've assumed
that it will keep on working
well—and that in any case it can't have
much impact on our dollar.
But events of the past few months,
stemming chiefly from Britain's devaluation
of the pound, suggest that
we had better take a second look at
these assumptions.
We realize now that monetary developments
in faraway places could
ultimately strike at our entire economy.
What happened last November
made this clear. When Britain devalued
the pound sterling to solve her
monetary crisis, she also raised her interest
rates to help suppress her rampant
inflation. Our interest rates had to
follow suit, primarily to keep American
capital from rushing to London.
Result? Tougher borrowing in the
U.S., with all the attendant impact on
our domestic economy. And then came
President Johnson's dramatic New
Year's Day report that our 1967 balance
of payments deficit would exceed expectations
and would require new controls
over foreign investment, lending,
and travel.
All of these developments served to
focus attention on the entire worldwide
monetary system itself. In particular,
they threw the spotlight on the international
role of the dollar, now the world's
chief reserve currency, and on the global
effects of our balance of payments
deficits, dollar outflow, and gold drain.
Americans—businessmen and housewives,
alike — suddenly realized they
had been ignoring these questions too
long. Many a conscientious citizen had
to admit how little he knew about monetary
matters—the role of gold, the
function of reserve currencies, and so
on—but at least he now could see their
vital importance.
Fortunately, concern about the
world's monetary apparatus has been
shared for some time by statesmen and
monetary experts. This year will see the

Leader in Online Family History Has More Than Doubled Its Collection of Family History Records in Last Three Years
PROVO, Utah, May 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ancestry.com (Nasdaq:ACOM), the world's largest online family history resource, is celebrating the addition of its 10 billionth record to the website. Included in the extensive record collection are ship passenger lists, military draft cards, birth, marriage and death records and the most popular — U.S. Federal Census records.
Ancestry.com also offers unique and comprehensive collections that provide personal views into significant events in world history, such as the most comprehensive online collection of records relating to the passengers and crew aboard the RMS Titanic. Records such as these not only provide a glimpse into history, but also offer enlightening insights to people discovering their ancestors' names in a record collection for the first time.
"Big numbers and major milestones are impressive, but what we think really counts is our commitment to acquiring meaningful content to help our users illuminate their lives by linking them to stories of their families'," said Tim Sullivan, president and CEO of Ancestry.com. "The more records we collect, index and make searchable, the more widely impactful the user experience becomes, continuing our mission of helping everyone discover, preserve and share their family history."
The treasure trove of 10 billion-plus online records on Ancestry.com, which has grown 150 percent in the last three years, is larger than those of all other online family history sites combined. Although much of the increase in the record collections has been in recent years, the site overall has added an average of 55 million records a month since the website went online 15 years ago. Images of documents date back to wills executed in London in 1507 A.D., while indexes of records reach back more than seven centuries, to marriage licenses and probated wills in Dublin, Ireland, from 1270 A.D.
Ancestry.com helped pioneer the market for online family history research, changing an expensive and time-consuming pursuit for the few, into an easy-to-use, affordable and accessible online activity, both on its website and through mobile apps. The company has digitized and published records, and indexed them in a searchable format using proprietary big data analytics and put them online. Through the use of patent-pending technology, Ancestry.com can make semi-structured data fully searchable to help accelerate the pace of record availability to the user. The result of this powerful technology is a simple and enlightening way for consumers to explore their family history and make unexpected and informative discoveries about families, both past and present.
For example, to make the 10 billion-plus records easier to discover, the Ancestry.com Shaky Leaf™ feature associates and recommends certain records as personally relevant in the form of a "hint" displayed under individual ancestors' profiles. Shaky Leaf hints help users make often unexpected family discoveries by providing suggested record matches or a reference to a living relative's family tree. After a record is found users can easily attach new information or individuals to their family tree. Within the first quarter of 2012, Ancestry.com subscribers made 321 million discoveries, up 26% from the same period a year ago, many of which were found using the Shaky Leaf feature.
More than 1 billion of the records have been attached to users' trees on Ancestry.com. One Ancestry.com member, that has found great success in her family history research, is noted to have attached more than 600,000 records to her family tree. Donna Williamson has spent two hours every day for the past three years tracing her family history and making discoveries with each new record she uncovers.
"It's amazing. At first I just wanted to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, but it has become so much more than that now," said Williamson. "Through records on Ancestry.com I found that I have such a rich heritage. I learned that my great grandfather was in a prisoner of war camp in the Civil War and also found that I am a descendant of a survivor of Jamestown, VA."

If we see a problem, we'll work with you to develop a plan for treatment.
Call us today for more information or to make your child's appointment with one of our pediatric chiropractors.
Professional high quality service
I ve been a patient for approximately 20 years. I have a standing appointment on Thursdays for 20 minutes of muscles work and then my adjustment. I can not imagine not having my weekly visit with the clinic. Everyone is professional and friendly. I love the whole bunch!
I love this place. You can tell everyone is happy in a good work environment and genuinely kind and caring. They provide a complete and total analysis and could not be more thorough. I know I will need several adjustments for my particular case but after my first visit I could already feel a difference, Dr. Tremblay is the best. I will recommend this place to anyone needing help and even those who don't for regular maintenance.
John O says AHCHC is absolutely THE GREATEST
I have a schedule which prevents me from having a definite time to have an adjustment. Today I had a brief available time and called in to see if I might come in. AHCHC accommodated me and I had the usual OUTSTANDING SERVICE from AHCHC. I do recommend AHCHC as absolutely THE GREATEST
I come to the clinic every 2 weeks for my "tuneup" and have never regretted the trip. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. The doctors and staff are second to none with obvious concern for my well being. The atmosphere is always light and upbeat but serious about my treatment. Great clinic!!
Love this place
I count on the staff there to keep me vertical and moving to the best of my ability. I'm there twice a month for an adjustment, twice a month for a massage and sometimes in between for good advice from Jeff. Love the treatments. Along with the great docs, massage therapists and Jeff, I must say that Rose is the best receptionist I know of anywhere.
The best
I drive 80 miles because their knowledge, massage and adjustments are the best in South Texas
Very professional staff that knows their stuff. Polite and friendly is a good description of the people who work there. I recommend Alamo Heights Chiropractic to all my friends .Tim H
Friendly, professional and great service
Dr. Trembly and her staff are the best!!!! Always feel better after my adjustment.
Always the BEST
There is no one else like Dr. Tremblay and staff.
New appointment
I had a great massage and going to have my husband make an appointment.
Great help, friendly service
Every time I go to AHCHC I am met with very friendly staff. I rarely wait more than a few minutes and during that time I either use the big massage chair or ask staff a question. There is no way to imagine what my health would be like if I had not wandered into Dr. Carrell's office many years ago. I did not go willingly; I had always distrusted Chiropractors. But Dr; Carrell and her staff have taken excellent care of me for many years. My health and range of motion is terrific. I'm able to play tennis twice a week with no pain or difficulty. I'm very glad I'm a patient at such a wonderful Health Center..........William Chandler
My first contact with chiropractic services was a pleasant shock.
I have had many contacts with medical services in the last 60 years. Their approach to medical care was completely different to my prior experiences and was really excellent. I am confident that my future health and life will be better because the services of this fine organization.
Good adjustment from Dr Castenada. Always feeling better than when I arrived.
High quality service
High quality service from entire staff
I have a standing weekly appointment at AHCHC. I look forward to my weekly visit. The first 20 I enjoy a prescribed massage to the areas that give me problems. Then I have my adjustment. I leave feeling fantastic.
Very professional staff. They were friendly and knowledgeable.
Always love my experience!
Dr. Trembly, Even when see gripes at me for not coming in I always feel better when I leave! The awesome staff makes it just a great place to come get adjusted! Dana Lee
Same outstanding treatment as usual. I was able to walk in, be treated, and exit within 10 minutes. Couldn't ask for better.
Always a treat!
Staff is always courteous and friendly, and the treatment is best in class!
Great professional service. Staff is courteous and knowledgeable.
Excellent staff Could walk when left - couldn't walk in
Crush the Kinks!
Lorena was very helpful in massaging my back and legs! As a golfer and a runner that doesn't stretch enough, she is immensely helpful in getting me feeling better for the holiday weekend. The massage has now become a monthly routine.
Very professional.
Thank you guys for everything and being the best in the business.
I asked for it and I got it!
Today, I came into my own clinic for some deep tissue muscle work from Coral. Ouch!, but so incredibly helpful! Thank you. My team is amazing and so very talented! Dr. T :)
Thoroughly professional staff and excellent help in staying healthy
There are lots of ways to spend money and get a massage. But I've been coming back to AH Chiropractic for over 30 years. I think that tells all that needs to be said. I've recommended this crew to several friends and coworkers over the years and they've all been happy with their experiences.
Good folks.. Great Adjustment
After nearly 30 years as a patient, I am no longer surprised at the level of care and attention given by Doc and her staff. My bi-weekly visits always lifts my spirits and mends my spine. Here's to 30 more.
The staff is friendly and professional. Wonderful experience!!!
They make the little ones feel at ease
They are very sweet to the kiddos and have a good way to get the kids excited about being adjusted.
Lorena rocks!
After a tough run this week she took care of the sore muscles. I have added her into my regular monthly routine maintenance on this aging body. Thank you!
High quality first rate treatment
As always I start my week with an adjustment. I start my week off fresh and straight! Today special attention was given to stiff arm muscles and tendons. I highly recommend the AHCC.
Service and quality of the adjustment was awesome!!
Despite an early morning visit after a workout with Jeff, the Adjustment was tremendous---feel ready for the day!!
Great Workout in Today's Fitness Class with Jeff!
OK, I am the doctor here, but I have been out of town for the past month, and today was the 1st day my husband and I were back to Jeff's 5:45 am Tuesday Fitness Class. It was GREAT! I feel so good. Thank you Jeff! :)
As usual, high quality, professional, knowledgeable, personalized service.
Came in with pain and left feeling great!
Everyone there is professional , kind and do everything can to help you feel better.
I wish I could afford to go once a week and see Lorena!!!
High quality and professional service
As always my experience was superb. My aches and issues were taken care of efficiently and effectively. I highly recommend This chiropractic clinic to anyone!
Healthy Healing
Dr. Jacqi helped me overcome my recent bout with stomach flu. Excellent care with compassion. Just what the doctor ordered.
Have been very impressed with the doctors, staff and services. One definitely receives quality care with realistic plans and goals, along with total body care. If one puts in the time and effort to do their part, one will see results.
Professional, educational and overall good for the body and soul
My latest visit with Lorena (massage therapist) at the office was beyond wonderful. Not only was it instructional, educational, physically pleasing but as well very fun. I enjoy going to any establishment where people treat others with respect and enjoy their work or craft as it comes across. Alamo Heights Chiropractic is the embodiment of all those great things. This was a couple's visit for both me and my partner and we both felt the same way. 2 thumbs UP!
Professional, friendly, really caring service.
As usual, the professionals at my favorite, and only chiropractic service made me feel I was in good hands, and that I was special to them.
Massages by Lorena
Lorena is not only skilled...she is truly gifted. She understands how the body functions and intuitively works to release muscle tension and relieve pain. A 30 minute session with Lorena has consistently proven to be more effective that hour long treatments I've received from other providers and I feel fortunate to have met her when I limped into the office with an injury that she and Dr Tremblay have helped me recover from. I wholeheartedly recommend both of these talented and caring women!
For more than 20 years I have been a regular at AHCC. I feel wonderful after a message by Lorena, and let no one but Dr. T adjust me. For being almost 70 years young, I stay healthy with no flu shots, or any other shots they always want seniors to get. I would never consider ever giving up my routine trips to AHCC. All these ladies are like a second family.
High quality treatments and attentive staff
Always a pleasant experience plus relief for my body. The staff and the Doctors are attentive and caring JUST A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE WITH HEALTH BENEFITS
Always an anticipated visit
I always look forward to visiting the clinic because I feel so much better afterward. Lorena can inflict her brand of torture, but the results are worth it for several days following the massage. Many thanks for the wonderful service over the past 5 years.
High quality service,very professional
Staff is very professional. They have given excellent advise on how to keep my body in the best shape. the staff is polite and friendly.
Exceeding Expectations!
I had my first visit today with Lorena Salazar, massage therapist, who was recommended by a PA I see, Art Campsey. She was wonderful and the massage was exactly what I needed medically. I will be coming back 2 times a month from now on. The staff and environment had a great energy and was very positive. Great experience! Being in the business of customer service as a Realtor for 9 years, I value experiences like these.

Expert care and great service
Steven has helped me the last two times I have gone is for work on my lower back. He is a highly trained massage therapist and knew just how to help my ailing back. I look forward to going for my sessions in the future to continue helping my lower back pain.
professional and very friendly
Thank you for taking such a good care of me, while I was hurting so much. I will come back for adjustments as needed.
Good visit. Haven't been for quite a while. I found out it would be better for me to stay on a regular schedule.
Awesome Docs and Staff!
Staff is super friendly and always ready to help you. The docs are very knowledgeable and engaging, ready to show you new ways to stretch those problem areas. YOU are always their main focus.
Professional and friendly environment
I was seen recently for a massage, and it was just what I needed! Extremely relaxing, and it felt amazing! Sofia was professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly; I felt really comfortable in her care. I would gladly recommend this office to any of my family and friends.
Like Family
Our visit to Alamo Heights Chiropractic today was perfect. Dr. Jacqi is great with kids (even squirmy ones!) and so kind. Donna and Susan are always welcoming, and so great to let my little one pick out a prize after her adjustment. We are regular patients, but today especially it felt like we were visiting friends. Thank you for always being a place we can go to get back to health and laugh a little too.
Terrific service, from all staff.
Great, always makes my day!
No surprise, everyone was terrific and I left feeling better than I have a right to.
Very positive and helpful in my treatments and concern for my overall general health from the Chiropractor to the massage therapists and front office personnel
I always like coming for an "adjustment" even if I don't need one!
Always a great experience in such a positive atmosphere with such nice people. Many thanks for all you all do to help us get and stay well. carrilee
Sofia did a wonderful job of identifying and evaluating problems in my body and then working to ease the tightness and pain.
As always your clinic is the best and thank you for it
Dr Sandra Tremblay and her staff continue to provide outstanding chiropractic care and treatment to myself and my family.
Sophia is a fantastic massage therapist. The ladies in the office are interested and helpful.
Always have good service experience, staff is very attentive, and professional service is, naturally, equally as satisfying.
I had a very good expire de. I felt that I was helped with some minor pain in my hip. The wonderful young lady at my disposal was Kind and very helpful.
My visits to the chiropractor always go well, though it can often feel a little rushed as Doc moves on quickly to the next patient. The office staff is wonderful.
people are very nice and very professional. Provide services in timely manner
Excellent treatment and cordial staff, couldn't ask for any better experience
The doctors, therapists and trainer all are good about explaining what and why they do, so you continually learn about the body and then carry that with you after you leave. Very compassionate and upbeat people.
Lorenna is wonderful...in fact she is the best masseuse I have ever been to ANYWHERE in the world.
Everyone is very courteous and helpful. Very comfortable atmosphere. Excellent care.
So glad you have opened on Saturdays, it makes it much easier for someone like me to schedule an appointment. I feel so much better after having my adjustment. I as many, work Monday - Friday and it is hard to get over here after I have worked. So, thank you so very much Dr Carrell and staff. Have a wonderful week. Jeanne Koehler 10/4/15
Was immediately able to get an appointment at a time convenient to me. No wait, Jacqui introduced herself, reviewed my history, and began working her magic. Was really having back and neck issues, she found em, and fixed em. Will schedule a follow up visit within a week.
I was in pain and a friend recommended I see Lorena. I was able to get in on the same day and she provided a great therapeutic massage, concentrating on the exact areas necessary to get the job done. The practice seems very professional and although its focus appears to take a holistic approach, if you just want a massage, that's what you get.
AHCHC provides the best care you can get! The staff are always helpful and professional.
I was a Total MESS when i came to Alamo Heights Chiropractic Center.
Very courteous staff and responsive to the appointed time.
very thorough!
Perfect! I loved the party atmosphere, and the raffle! I came in to buy an inexpensive tens unit, and I won one in your raffle! Keep up the good work!
Alamo Heights Chiropractic center is truly a place you can find entire body wellness. I highly recommend the services.

Lorena is the best. I am truly sad to hear that Dr. Sweeney is no longer there. He was a KEEPER!~~~~
Excellent balanced wellness care, friendly & helpful staff.
Love the team and office each time I come in they are so welcoming!!
Always a positive experience .
Very well pleased with the staff and the treatments I am receiving. I'm a much better person
Dr. Sweeney was very personable as he gave my adjustment, just as always. He paid special attention to areas that were sensitive and I left feeling uplifted and well. The receptionist was friendly and helpful as she always is.
David gave a great massage and I was in need of one!
I thought I made an hour appointment for a massage. I will clarify next time. Otherwise as always it was a great experience. Melynda Gulley
I had a great massage from David. He addressed my problem areas and made suggestions for a better way to treat them. Can't wait to try "hot rocks."
staff, service, facility all 1st rate.
I hadn't been in a couple years but my back and leg were really bothering me after a fall. Back feels much better but will probably go back Tuesday because my leg is still not 100%.
Dr. T knows her stuff and gave me answers that other doctor visits hadn't. She is quick and knowledgeable and can adjust me where needed. As a chiropractor she is 5 stars. I felt she was harsh in how she spoke with her staff though. I wouldn't want to work for her.
To quote the upholstry ad. "I've been back 265 times haven't I" From being hit by a car and crawling into AHCC, unable to stand, I now go monthly for maintenance. I could not have avoided surgery for the last 20 years without them. Always accomodating and always helpful.
very friendly group and bright cheerful office. I am looking forward to our next visit.
I have been a patient at Alamo Heights Chiropratic for about 10 years. The care and service is superb and caring. I am always taken care of with superb service and great feedback, so I can be responsible for my daily care of my body. Mind Body Soul.
Dr Sandra is dedicated to the improved health of her patients. Chiropractic Medicine will improve your life, I'm 1/4" taller, sleep better
I love you all. My quality of life improves each time I visit!! MG
I have been going here for over 2 years. They are always friendly and answer any questions I may have. I have been getting massages from them for just as long and have had wonderful results from both. I have never been to a better massage therapist or chiropractic office.
The two and a half to three years I have been going to Alamo Heights Chiropractic have been wonderful. The staff has helped me get through many many difficult times with my sport mentally and physically. They have watched me grow stronger because I come to them so regularly for healthy adjustments. I have new aches and pains almost every time and they are able to help me get through them. I love the atmosphere and everyone there feels like my second family because they are so friendly and caring. I greatly appreciate the staff for all they do, thank you!!!!
As soon as I walked in to my appointment I was told immediately that I can go ahead and take the first table, got adjusted right away, I was in and out in just about 7 minutes. I had a great adjustment, very professional personnel, very friendly. I can only recommend it to everyone who strives to be healthy!
Loved Katy and her gun
I was in back pain. You gave me your usual outstanding treatment, great exercises to speed recovery and prevent it from happening again.
Dare I share Lorraina's expertise as a massage therapist? You can't hide any hurts from her! She's great.
As always.. Jennifer is amazing!
The staff is simply the best!! Kind, friendly, efficient ... I always walk out with a smile on my face. The adjustments literally change my attitude.. I don't realize how out of whack I am until I walk out and I am standing up straighter, breathing deeper and just more relaxed. I love it!!!
I had a good workout yesterday, but Lance is a better trainer.
awesome thankyou!
I have been a patient of Dr. Carrell-Tremblay for 14 years. She keeps me in tip top shape (and the massages are great!)and has aways been accurate in my diagnosis. Other San Antonio-based business could take a lesson from this offices professionalism!
Jennifer gave a great, professiinal and un-kinking masage, as usual!
As always, I was seen very promptly and left feeling much better.
Dr. Tremblay and her staff are extremely effective and more than competent. The chiropractor is one of the best I have been to in twenty years. Her office experience is a positive one.
Glad ito be in the swing of things
As always, my experience at AHC was great. Fast,expert attention and very fair pricing.
Great adjustment and massage! Everyone there is great! Thanks
Great massage and adjustment as always! See you next Friday'
I have always recieved professional service, the staff is always cheerful and helpful. They have changed my live
Like always, I feel much better when I left.
Like always, I felt much better when I left.
This is the best run medical office i have been to in SA.. They are cordial, flexible and very caring. I am often running a few minutes late for early am appts and yet they still work with me.
I have been going to Dr. Carroll Tremblay for over 23 years. Always have a great experience

And who is that guy with the sleeping seal there behind?
Oh, and the light-brown haired girl on the first panel... Wow, she's cute...
And she's drawn in a lot better way than what I'll ever do.
Oh, and I like that handwritting font. It's so appropiate, for some reason.
I like this comic.

Royce White doesn't report to Rockets camp, cites fear of flying
On the court, Houston Rockets rookie Royce White is a whirling dervish: powerful, fast and talented. In the air, he's a nervous wreck.
White has an anxiety disorder that's plagued him for years, and it heightens when he's forced to board a jet airplane. The disorder, which played a role in his leaving the University of Minnesota for Iowa State after one year, is severe enough that he hasn't reported to Rockets training camp. Instead, he's working out an agreement that would allow him to bus to some road games, ESPN.com reported.
"What it's going to look like is every game that's drivable," White told ESPN.com. "I'm going to get a bus for myself. And I'm going to make that bus feel like home so that there's a level of consistency in a job where inconsistency is very apparent because of the schedule."
In the interview, White calls his disorder "a mental illness" and shows the kind of self-awareness that should help him lead a productive career. His ability can't be questioned: White averaged 13.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals a game for Iowa State. The Rockets have a logjam at forward, but White's versatility could make him an asset.
But the no-flying thing could define him. Grantland and ESPN columnist Bill Simmons dubbed White "The Guy Who's Afraid To Fly" while lauding his upside during the weeks leading up to the draft.
White says he hopes to report in the next week, and the Rockets are willing to support him, general manager Daryl Morey said in a statement.
Now we wait for the wheels on the bus deal to go 'round.

Charming Secret Garden
Near Chicago, a charming secret garden features lovely old-fashioned flowers
Front-yard gardens take center stage, welcoming guests with bursts of color or drawing the eyes of passerby with showy beauty.Those kinds of garden have their place, but the Winnetka, Illinois, garden of Sandra and Richard Forsythe serves a different purpose: It's the view Sandra Forsythe drinks in each time she looks out a kitchen window facing a private area to the back of her home. Sandra, who got her start as a gardener by tending the roses that were growing when she moved into her 1920s-era home, always lamented that her primary view wasn't prettier – it was mostly just grass.
That changed in 2006, when she enlisted help from landscape designer Craig Bergmann, of Lake Forest, Illinois-based Craig Bergmann Landscape Design. Craig designed a cutting garden that yields plentiful stems of colorful flowers from early spring through late fall. "It's a delightful thing to look at," Sandra says of the rectangular-shaped, symmetrical space that resulted from her collaboration with Craig Bergmann, and also serves as a palette for her cut-flower arrangements. This favorite pastime keeps the inside of her home looking beautiful too.
In the colorful mix here, Craig included annuals and perennials in the garden's design to give Sandra ample material for her cut-flower arrangements. She even uses dried stems and seed heads. Flowers in coral hues, Sandra's favorite color, were a must-have. They include 'Swan's Desert Storm' dahlia and 'Crichton Honey' dahlia. Blue delphinium, tangerine-colored nasturtium and other plants in shades of blue, purple and yellow complement the pale-pink shades.
Produced by Rebecca Christian
Photography: Linda Oyama Bryan
Tidy Path
Purple 'Jackmanii Superba' clematis scales a garden wall, greeting the Forsythes as they enter through a private entrance at the rear of the house. Boxwood hedges help contain flowering plants and keep paths free of dirt and mulch after heavy rains. Sandra's kitchen window is to the left of the door.
Sun Worshippers
"This was a great spot for a cutting garden thanks to all of the sun," says Craig. 'Summer Sun' helianthus basks in July's searing rays. Craig took care to choose flowers that matched the vintage of the 1920s house and reflected Sandra's classic sensibilities, such as yarrow, snapdragon and hydrangeas. "These old-fashioned flowers might have been in the garden if it was planted in the 1920s," he says.
Repurposed Playhouse
A charming playhouse with cedar-shake roofing and white clapboard once beckoned children for hours of make-believe fun. With children grown, Sandra turned the house into a storage area for gardening tools and implements. Adults must duck to enter through a pint-sized door, but once inside, they can stand upright. Bergmann used antique door-stops shaped like baskets of flowers to adorn either side of the shed's door. Seen in the foreground, spring tulips provide material for Sandra's arrangements as soon as the ground thaws.
Reach For the Sky
Craig chose statuesque plants so they could be seen from afar ... through Sandra's kitchen window. 'Sunset' coneflowers, 'Terra Cotta' yarrow and delphiniums have the necessary height
Brilliant Hues
"The garden provides ideas of forms and colors that might look good together in a vase," Craig says. 'King Arthur' and 'Yankee Series' delphinium mingle with coneflowers in Sandra's favorite color – coral.
Blending In
A soft, creamy, pinkish dahlia softens a stalk of bright purple delphinium.

Antique Irises
These heirloom bearded irises were found languishing on another part of the property, where they weren't getting enough sunlight, and moved to a more appropriate spot as part of the project. Craig says they may date to the 1920s, when the house was first built.
Beckoning Gate
Robert Walker of Design Alternatives built the fence and gates for the Forsythe garden, which include custom hinges to allow this curved door to open smoothly. A circular-shaped gate pull lends an old-timey feel to the space. Wire mesh on the white fencing keeps rabbits and deer from feasting on the flowers, preserving them for Sandra's arrangements.
What a View
The view from Sandra Forsythe's kitchen window now encompasses a brilliant cutting garden framed by orderly rows of boxwood. The change, Sandra says, makes everyday chores like doing dishes feel like a luxury. Classic flowers and stately boxwood complement her 1920s home.

Keeping the same oak panelling that makes Moog synthesisers so distinctive, the Minimoog Voyager XL celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Minimoog, which bands such as Kraftwerk and Yes pounded their fingers across so electronically.
Bringing it into 2010, the Voyager XL has a 61-note velocity sensitive keyboard, with touch surface controllers, a ribbon controller and MIDI control functionality, to mention some of its highlights. Moog will charge $US5000 when it goes on sale later this year - a fair price to pay for Kraftwerk tribute bands, I'd say. [Moog via Retro Thing via Engadget]

I can only perform the demonstration from the much simpler $E = mc^2$.
Take as given the Einstein field equation:
$G_{\mu\nu} = 8 \pi \, T_{\mu\nu}$
... can it be proved that Newton's formulation of gravitational and mechanical force (e.g. $F = ma$) corresponds to Einstein's in the limit when masses are small and speeds are relatively slow?

The Chrome User Experience Report provides user experience metrics for how real-world Chrome users experience popular destinations on the web.
The Chrome User Experience Report is powered by real user measurement of key user experience metrics across the public web, aggregated from users who have opted-in to syncing their browsing history, have not set up a Sync passphrase, and have usage statistic reporting enabled. The resulting data is made available via:
- PageSpeed Insights, which provides URL-level user experience metrics for popular URLs that are known by Google's web crawlers.
- Public Google BigQuery project, which aggregates user experience metrics by origin, for all origins that are known by Google's web crawlers, and split across multiple dimensions outlined below.
Metrics provided by the public Chrome User Experience Report hosted on Google BigQuery are powered by standard web platform APIs exposed by modern browsers and aggregated to origin-resolution. Site owners that want more detailed (URL level resolution) analysis and insight into their site performance and can use the same APIs to gather detailed real user measurement (RUM) data for their own origins.
For guidance on which metrics to track and optimize for, and best practices on how to interpret real user measurement data, refer to our user centric performance documentation.
First Paint
Defined by the Paint Timing API and available in Chrome M60+:
"First Paint reports the time when the browser first rendered after navigation. This excludes the default background paint, but includes non-default background paint. This is the first key moment developers care about in page load – when the browser has started to render the page."
First Contentful Paint
Defined by the Paint Timing API and available in Chrome M60+:
"First Contentful Paint reports the time when the browser first rendered any text, image (including background images), non-white canvas or SVG. This includes text with pending webfonts. This is the first time users could start consuming page content."
Defined by the HTML specification:
"The DOMContentLoaded reports the time when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading." - MDN.
Defined by the HTML specification:
"The load event is fired when the page and its dependent resources have finished loading." - MDN.
Performance of web content can vary significantly based on device type, properties of the network, and other variables. To help segment and understand user experience across such key segments, the Chrome User Experience Report provides the following dimensions.
Effective Connection Type
Defined by the Network Information API and available in Chrome M62+:
"Provides the effective connection type ("slow-2g", "2g", "3g", "4g", or "offline") as determined by round-trip and bandwidth values based on real user measurement observations."
Device Type
Coarse device classification ("phone", "tablet", or "desktop"), as communicated via User-Agent.
Geographic location of users at the country-level, inferred by their IP address. Countries are identified by their respective ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
Data format
The report is provided via
Google BigQuery as a collection of
datasets containing user experience metrics aggregated to origin-resolution.
Each dataset represents a single country,
country_rs captures user
experience data for users in Serbia (
rs is the
code for Serbia). Additionally, there is a globally aggregated dataset (
that captures the world-wide experience. Each row in the dataset contains a
nested record of user experience for a particular origin, split by key
For example, the above shows a sample record from the Chrome User Experience Report, which indicates that 12.3% of page loads had a "first paint time" measurement in the range of 1000-1200 milliseconds when loading "http://example.com" on a "phone" device over a "4G"-like connection. To obtain a cumulative value of users experiencing a first paint time below 1200 milliseconds, you can add up all records whose histogram's "end" value is less than or equal to 1200.
Getting started
The Chrome User Experience Report is provided as a public project on Google BigQuery. To access the project, you'll need a Google account and a Google Cloud Project: refer to our step by step guide and the guided tour of how to query the project.
Analysis tips & best practices
Consider population differences across origins
The metrics provided by the Chrome User Experience Report are powered by real user measurement data. As a result, the data reflects how real users experienced the visited origin and, unlike synthetic or local testing where the test is performed under fixed and simulated conditions, captures the full range of external factors that shape and contribute to the final user experience.
For example, differences in population of users accessing a particular origin can contribute meaningful differences to the user experience. If the site is frequented by more visitors with more modern devices or via a faster network, the results may appear "fast" even if the site is not well optimized. Conversely, a well optimized site that attracts a wider population of users, or a population with larger fraction of users on slower devices or networks, may appear "slow".
When performing head-to-head comparisons across origins, it is important to account and control for the population differences: segment by provided dimensions, such as device type and connection type, and consider external factors such as size of the population, countries from which the origin is accessed, and so on.
Consider population size differences across origins
The Chrome User Experience Report aggregates data for each origin, with the "density" values across all dimension-metric histograms summing to a value of "1.0". This provides insight into the distribution of experiences across the key dimensions for a single origin.
However, when aggregating data from multiple origins, for example within an industry vertical or geographic regions, be careful with the types of conclusions being drawn: adding up densities for the same metric across multiple origins does not account for relative population differences across origins.
For example, site A may have ten million visitors, while site B has ten thousand. In both cases, the histogram densities for each origin sum to "1.0", and the dataset does not provide any absolute metrics about the population size of individual origins, or relative population size differences across origins. As a result, if you add together the densities from A and B, and average the results, you will treat them as equals even though A has three orders of magnitude more traffic.
Consider Chrome population differences
The Chrome User Experience report is powered by real user measurement aggregated from Chrome users who have opted-in to syncing their browsing history, have not set up a Sync passphrase, and have usage statistic reporting enabled. This population may not be representative of the broader user base for a particular origin and many origins may have population differences among each other. Further, this data does not account for users with different browsers and differences in browser adoption in different geographic regions.
As a result, be careful with the types of conclusions being drawn when looking at a cross-section of origins, and when comparing individual origins: avoid using absolute comparisons and consider other population factors outlined in the sections above.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
I think that this is the first thing which would be felt when dealing with undead humans. The way zombies move in a not quite human, shambling way. The way that Draculas shadow had a mind of its own. Things like this would put observers in an uncomfortable state of mind and would breach the Uncanny Valley - Something which should be human acting in nearly - but not quite - human manners.
Now, the undead that manages to breach the valley and come out on the other side will be something to be feared; because something evil which can make its victims naturally feel comfortable with its presence can end up doing the most depraved things to you when your guard is down.

Pass SF Prop. C for down payment on pension reform
The Chronicle Recommends Dueling Pension Measures in San Francisco
San Franciscans should have no illusions about the dueling reform measures on the Nov. 8 ballot: Neither would come close to covering the escalating general-fund obligation to meet promised pensions and health-care coverage for retired city workers. Propositions C and D offer only modest down payments on the reforms that must be pursued to keep these retirement costs from overwhelming the city's ability to maintain basic services.
But either measure offers some progress on a math problem that has been ignored for too long. If voters fail to act, the city could be looking at annual pension obligations of perhaps $800 million by fiscal 2015-16 - double the current hit to the general fund.
The choice comes down to Prop. C, a 10-year, $1.3 billion savings negotiated by the establishment (politicians, labor, business leaders) and Prop. D, a 10-year, $1.6 billion savings pushed by Public Defender and mayoral candidate Jeff Adachi and put on the ballot through signature gathering.
Adachi deserves great credit for forcing City Hall to confront an inconvenient truth: It has been making grand promises to city workers for pensions and retiree health care without making provisions to pay for them. His 2010 tough-love pension reform plan, Prop. B, while falling short, jolted the establishment into action.
What emerged were months of talks among business and union leaders and politicians - especially Mayor Ed Lee - that produced the outlines of Proposition C. While the math may come at least a couple billion dollars short of a solution, the measure reflects a sober and multifaceted attempt to address this funding shortfall.
Here are the key ways Prop. C is preferable to Prop. D, all of which can be attributed to the value of bringing various stakeholders to the table.
Consensus: The very fact that business and labor leaders are supporting Prop. C bodes well for its passage and acceptance - and sets the stage for productive, mutually respectful talks on further reforms that will almost certainly be needed to address this pension and health-care shortfall.
Legality: Prop. D invites lawsuits by peeling back vested pension rights without offering new benefits in return. Case law seems pretty clear on this point: Vested rights can be revoked only in exchange for something of comparable value.
Scope: Prop. C, while generally not as aggressive on constraining pension formulas as Prop. D, covers several critical areas that its counterpart ignores. For example, Prop. C would require existing city employees to eventually contribute 1 percent of their salaries toward their retiree health benefits; Prop. D does not touch that issue. Prop. C would eliminate a city match for an annuity accrued by city employees who work five years but don't stay long enough to qualify for a regular pension - under Prop. D, high-paid workers, such as lawyers, would actually receive a windfall with a guaranteed match of their elevated contributions. And Prop. C would address one of the hidden cost drivers of city benefits: the employee-dominated composition of the Health Service System board. Under Prop. C, the board would be rebalanced with three members each for workers and management, with the city controller appointing one board member.
"I lost dozens of votes 4-3 that cost the city tens of millions of dollars," said Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, a fiscal hawk who has served on the board.
The personalized nature of this campaign - and even the negotiations that led to Prop. C - has been regrettable. There is something very wrong with San Francisco politics when labor leaders can dictate that Adachi cannot participate in the discussions on an issue of such consequence that he brought to the fore. There is also something wrong when City Hall's definition of "all stakeholders" does not include the vast majority of taxpayers who are paying the freight and whose own pensions do not come close to even these scaled-back proposals.
Still, San Franciscans have a choice to make. For all the reasons stated above, Prop. C is superior to Prop. D - and, as Mayor Lee has so pointedly noted, the "worst situation we could ever face" is a continuation of the status quo. He is absolutely right; it's time to act, even if the options before us are decidedly incremental.
We recommend passage of Prop. C.
How the measures compare
Pension formula for police and firefighters{+1}
Current: 3% of final salary (average final two years) X years of service at age 55.{+1} (Pension for 30-year veteran who earned $100,000: $90,000 at age 55).
Prop. C: 3% of final salary (average final three years) X years of service at age 58. (Pension for 30-year veteran who earned $100,000: $90,000 at age 58).
Prop. D: 2.7% of final salary (average final five years) X years of service at age 57. (Pension for 30-year veteran who earned $100,000: $75,000{+2} at age 57).
Employee pension contribution, $100,000 salary{+3}
Current: 7.5% of salary
Prop. C: Between 2.5% and 12.5% of salary, depending on level of city contribution. As city's cost rises, so does employee's.
Prop. D: Between 7.5% and 15% of salary, depending on level of city contribution.
Employee contribution to retirement health care
Current: None for employees hired before 2009; newer hires contribute 2% of salary.
Prop. C: Pre-2009 employees must contribute 0.25% of salary starting in fiscal 2016, increasing by 0.25% of salary annually to a maximum 1%.
Prop. D: Does not change current system.
{+1}For other city employees, the formula is 2.3% of final salary X years of service at age 62. Both propositions would raise the retirement age for maximum pension to 65. Changes apply to new hires only; would not affect vested rights. {+2}Prop. D reduces the maximum possible pension for public safety workers (now 90%) to 75% for new hires (same as for other city employees). Prop. D also imposes overall pension cap of $140,000; Prop. C has no such ceiling. {+3}Example is for non-public safety employees.

Chiefs thrilled with addition of former Bronco Wiegmann
The Broncos unceremoniously released center Casey Wiegmann last February, believing the 37-year-old, 285-pound lineman no longer fit the Broncos plan to get younger and bigger up front.
At least so far this year, Wiegmann has the last laugh.
Wiegmann re-signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in March, the team he played for from 2001-2007 before joining the Broncos as a free agent under Mike Shanahan. Now Wiegmann is anchoring an offensive line that is blocking for the league's No. 1-ranked running game.
"Oh man, we've been so fortunate to have Casey here. He's done a tremendous job for us," Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel said. "He's been leading since the day he stepped in the weight room this offseason, I don't think he missed a single offseason workout, so he's a guy that has added a tremendous amount of leadership, and shown our young guys what it takes to be successful in the NFL."
Kansas City coach Todd Haley, who first met Wiegmann in 1996 when Wiegmann spent the first of his two seasons with the New York Jets, said Wiegmann has been a perfect fit both on the field and in the locker room for the Chiefs.
"I can't put anyone as more important to us as a team than Casey," Haley said. "You didn't see any slow down from him. He's always going to be a little undersized for an interior offensive lineman, but he never let that get in his way."

In an era when security breaches hog the headlines and companies scramble to protect corporate data, in some ways I'm grateful to work for a CEO who emphasizes the need for security. But there are drawbacks.
We're a small business with a correspondingly sized IT staff, and "Jim" often springs yet another of his security concerns on the few of us. For example, one time someone sat outside the office next door, waiting for it to open while typing away at their laptop. Jim saw this and panicked, assuming they were there to "hack" our servers and ordered that I immediately check the network for intrusions. Needless to say, nothing was wrong.

See Cringely's top 10 list. | Follow InfoWorld's Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. | Subscribe to the Off the Record newsletter for your weekly dose of workplace shenanigans. ]
Another time, someone described to him how a "memory leak" caused a random crash of their systems. Now whenever a computer slows down or anything crashes at our company, Jim orders the IT staff to drop everything and find "memory leaks."
Then there's our server room, the subject of one of Jim's latest spells. We have an amazing setup for a small business, if I do say so myself. The space itself has its own AC and humidity control, and the servers are locked in a cage within the room. No one here has ever unplugged the servers, due to the power outlet's placement within the locked server cage. The door into the room has double locks, and a motion sensor alarm goes off whenever the door is opened.
Jim is deservedly proud of the server room, and appearances are important to him. Ironically, for someone so guarded about security, he's quick to throw open the doors and give prospective clients a guided tour. At the same time, he wants the nightly cleaning crew to keep out, which wasn't happening, and the crew kept setting off the security alarm.
The CEO's security solution
Jim came up with a "solution," one in which he insisted on being the sole person on the alarm contact list for "security reasons." Soon, he was getting called several times a week, wasn't sure what to do, and finally brought up the topic in casual conversation with me when he complained about lost sleep. By then, almost an entire year had gone by without IT knowing of the problem. The only actions Jim had undertaken in the meantime were to make several official, yet ineffective, complaints to building management. Now it fell to us in IT to assess the situation.

I like my Android phones plain and vanilla, stock with no custom layers. Some XDA folks think the same because they've rigged a Samsung Galaxy S to ditch Touchwiz for the stock (read: better) Android 2.1 experience.
The camera doesn't work yet and there's some other bugs but for the most part, it's a Samsung Galaxy S running Android the way Google designed it. Which is to mean, it's lighter, faster and more versatile (not to mention, easier to upgrade to future versions of Android). As Android matures, I hope Touchwiz, Sense, Motoblur, and all that sort of stuff will slowly disappear. [thegadgets.net]
