Excellent garage Fantastic guys
I would have to say a real nice find. The company are so professional and keep to their word and price. They listen and are hard working and honest. I have to say WIK you are an amazing guy. I wish you continue and progress well in life. All the best. I will surely contact you again when I need. thanks a million.
Had breaks an pads changed really great price an was done in no time, would definitely recommend to all.
Excellent garage!
Great customer service and very happy with the end result. Very professional, well presented and friendly company, great communication throughout the day, work was done sooner than expected. Trusted the guy that picked my car up as soon as I met him. Was even more impressed when found out that they don't usually cater to my postcode area (Veterans Village Manchester M40) but were willing to be flexible. Will definitely be recommending B and G Autotechs and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you very much.
Service was great. Would reccomend
great job,highly recommended
OK, but when I got back home and opened the bonnet (same day), I noticed the cap on the screen wash reservoir was broken.
Very helpful and great service. Would definitely use again
good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
More than happy, very helpful
I totally recommend this garaje, they are very gastó and the prices are very good
quick and efficient, top fella
Today was the first time my father and I visited Tom Motors and we were very impressed. Tom provided a high level of customer service and was very friendly and helpful to us. We dropped the car off at half 9 and the car was ready for collection by 3ish. He completed the job (clutch job) on the day as promised. I would strongly recommend Tom Motors. Thanks Tom
My appointment was at 8am.. I was waiting till 8:20 and garage was still closed and nobody there.
Thanks great service would use again
Job canceled buy garage.
The job was cancelled by garage.
Unable to complete the works.
Did not diagnose the problem. Paid 72GBP just for checking error codes and erasing and topping up oil.

|Nike Vapor 9.5 Tour Men's Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
The Roger Federer inspired Vapor 9 Tour quickly turned into many players' favorite shoe when it was released two years ago. Now, Nike has taken another step forward with the introduction of the Vapor 9.5 Tour. Don't worry, everything you loved about the previous version is still there, like the Adaptive Fit lacing system and the fast, low-to-the-ground feel. You're still going to get that perfectly customizable fit that offers tons of support and stability, too. Now, the newly designed upper hugs your foot in a seamless design for an even faster, more comfortable feel. The durability issues are still there, so this may be a shoe best saved for competition purposes, however, in our opinion, there may not be a better option out there for match day!
Our playtesters raved about the comfort of the Vapor 9.5 Tour. "Oh man, these are comfy!"exclaimed Andy, who's often seen walking around town in his pair. "Right out of the box you feel the plush cushioning, and the Adaptive Fit technology just cinches it all up in a perfect, customizable fit. Make no mistake, these are some of the most comfortable tennis shoes on the market -- so much so that on top of being an excellent performance shoe, they are my favorite tennis shoes to wear casually off the court."
It doesn't get any better than this for Chris, either. He said, "I loved the comfortable fit of this shoe. From the first wear to the last, my feet were rewarded with a very comfortable ride. I scored the shoes top marks since I do not require any more comfort than provided here. The level of cushioning was perfect. I loved the comfortable ride, yet thought the shoe felt responsive enough for court speed. Thanks to the Adaptive Fit lace system the fit was always perfect. My feet were comfortably and securely locked in. The supple upper materials also meant I never had to worry about any pinching or poking from any part of the shoe."
Both of our playtesters felt the Vapor 9.5 Tour had more than enough ventilation to keep them cool and comfortable on court. Chris enjoyed the breathability, and offered comparisons, saying, "My feet run cooler in these compared to the the SL version of the Vapor Tour 9. I like that they used mesh in the vamp of the shoe because it felt like it let out much more heat. Even on hot days my feet felt comfortable in these shoes. I was also able to wear them after a hit without feeling the need to immediately take them off -- often not the case with hotter feeling shoes."
Andy liked the breathability as well. He also attributed it to the use of mesh in the upper. He said, "No issues here! Ventilation was good and my feet never got too hot during the playtest. The use of mesh on top of the foot and in other key areas really helped keep my feet cool and dry."
Our playtesters had mixed feelings when it came to the arch support of the Vapor 9.5 Tour. Chris, who has been a fan of the more recent Vapor series, had no problems with the arch. He explained, "I had no issues with arch support in this shoe. I was able to move comfortably around the court and not have to worry about any undue stress to my arches. There was enough stability from the shank to support my feet during both aggressive lateral and forward sprints. The shoes flexed in exactly the right spot, so my arches were never put under any undue stress."
On the other hand, Andy didn't get enough support through the arch, which was similar to his experience with the previous version. He said, "This is an area where the shoe didn't work as well for me. There was a slight improvement over the previous version, which straight up hurt my arches when I played in them, but the 9.5 still had a fairly low arch that caused some discomfort at times after some long hours on court."
Another area where the Vapor 9.5 Tour really impressed our playtesters was its support and stability, which allowed both players to move around at top speeds with confidence. "I was extremely impressed by the amount of support and stability that the shoe offered given its lightweight, slipper-like comfort," Andy said. "I was moving around at full speed and sliding aggressively on the hard courts with full confidence that the shoe would support every move I made. This is a real strength of the shoe and a big reason why it works so well for the elite player."
Chris was hard pressed to find another shoe that offered this kind of support. He said, "This shoe gets away with not being ultra stiff by offering amazing support. It wrapped my foot so well that I felt completely locked in. On court it felt like the shoes were moving with my feet, almost like we were one. When I came to a quick stop, had a tough landing or made an aggressive cut, the shoes supported my feet perfectly. I never felt the need for any additional stiffness in the chassis of the shoe or any stiffer upper materials. I never felt even remotely close to rolling an ankle and never felt any undue strain on my feet -- just a perfect blend of support and flexibility. The only shoe I've worn that performs this well, and perhaps even a tad better, would be the new Lunar Ballistec."
This was where the Vapor 9.5 Tour struggled, not impressing our playtest team nearly as much as it did in other categories. Chris had to ration his use of this shoe to make it through the entire playtest. He said, "Every version of the Vapor has lacked durability, and the trend continues here. If I'm playing every day in these shoes I'll go right through the outsole in less than two weeks. While that might seem shocking to some, I'm tough on shoes and have worn out other brands in hours, not days. As is typical for me, I started to wear a hole through the forefoot area of the outsole under the big toe of my right foot. I like these shoes so much that I'm now very picky about when I wear them, as I want to save them for match play. They're simply not a shoe for long, grinding practices. I'm best served just keeping these at the ready for when I need their light and fast feel the most."
Andy also went through his pair very quickly. He offered, "Unfortunately, in the case of this playtest, good things do come to an end rather quickly. Within the first five hours of the test I had worn the tread down to a smooth rubber, and after 10 hours I was all the way through to the midsole. This was the least durable shoe I've tested for Tennis Warehouse."
The lightweight, speed-oriented Vapor 9.5 Tour didn't quite have the level of durability in the toe area that our resident toe-dragger Chris requires. He explained, "The toe bumper held up well during my test, however, at times the mesh part of the vamp finds contact with the court and that leads to rapid wear. If you get very low to the ground on wide lunges and let the rear foot drag, less durable parts of the upper around the toe can come into contact with the court, and that is an issue. Again, this is an extremely light and fast shoe, and there seems to be a minimal amount of durability built in. I'm fine with that and will train in something more durable, like the Air Max Cage, and then rock these during tournament play."
Andy doesn't drag his toes much and didn't really put very much wear on his pair. He said, "The toe area has some added rubber for more protection, and it held up well during the test. I don't think I'd be wearing through the toe before I wore out the outsole."
Nike's signature XDR rubber compound on the outsole of the Vapor 9.5 Tour offered an exceptional level of traction. Andy raved, "Traction was spot on in this shoe, and I was getting the perfect amount of give and grip on the hard court. It allowed me to slide aggressively with confidence, and then it gripped the court when I needed to make a quick move back to the middle of the court. The traction, along with the weight and stability, was a big reason why I felt extremely fast in these shoes."
The traction also worked very well for Chris, who said, "There was a nice balance of grip and give from these shoes. I could rely on them to give me enough traction to make an aggressive lateral cut and found too much slide only when I was pulled wide onto the dustier extremities of the court. When coming to a quick stop I could control a slide or load more weight on the shoe for a more abrupt stop. I felt like I could control the amount of give I wanted from the outsole easily, as the level of traction felt very predictable."
Another one of the strengths of the Vapor 9.5 Tour is its low-profile, speed-oriented design. "I found a very light and fast feel from these shoes," Chris said. "Part of that comes from the simple fact they don't weight that much. The other part of that fast feel comes from the flexibility of the shoes. They move very well with my feet and flex perfectly. I found it very easy to totally forget about these shoes and just focus on my playing. That is the highest compliment I can give a shoe, and it speaks volumes as to how natural they felt to compete in."
These shoes felt even lighter than the previous version to Andy. He explained, "Like I said previously, this shoe feels super light and fast on court. In fact, it has a lighter and faster feel than the previous version. The materials in the upper are a little less substantial (in a good way), providing lightweight and seamless comfort throughout. A strong point of the shoe for sure!"
Chris -"I love the updated cosmetics, which are more aggressive. I found the fit and feel (all of which I loved in the previous version) to still be there. This update was subtle, but this shoe is still one of the best out there and is only challenged by the Lunar Ballistec."
Andy -"Extremely comfortable and lightweight, perfect traction and very stable, allowing me to feel my fastest on court. I also love the cosmetic!"
Chris -"The lack of durability means I have to save them for match play only."
Andy -"Not enough support through the arch for me and not durable enough."
Chris -"It has a very similar fit and feel to the previous version. If you are looking for a fast feeling shoe, this is right at the top of my list. Others to consider would be the Asics Gel Solution Speed 2, Nike Lunar Ballistec and adidas adizero Feather III."
Andy -"It's lighter, faster and more comfortable than the previous version, and I felt like it was an overall improvement. The Vapor 9 was already a great shoe, but the Vapor 9.5 is even better. It's also similar to the Asics Gel Solution Speed 2, and although the Vapor may be a little more cushioned and comfortable, it's not as supportive or durable. The adidas adizero Feather III also comes to mind, but the Vapor is once again, more comfortable."

Topic: Using Ajax to pull partial form from nested model
Hi all, I've got a question I'm sure is simple but I just cant figure out!
I was following the "Nested Model Form" on Asciicasts and was wondering if theres any way to dynamically insert the new form using true Ajax straight from a controller's partial, instead of via a helper which embeds javascript at run-time?
I'm using the following ajax link to submit the request:
<%= link_to "Add new question", survey_question_path(2, 'new'), :remote => false %>
(1) how do I get the dynamic survey_id instead of hardcoding the id 2? (sorry quite new to Rails here)
(2) more importantly, how can I pass the question Form Builder to the partial view (_question_fields.html.erb)??
I hope this isnt too cryptic, here are the code bits to make things clearer:
==> the main form (survey/_form.html.erb)
<% form_for @survey do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>

<%= f.text_field :name %>
<% f.fields_for :questions do |builder| %>
<%= render 'question_fields', :f => builder %>
<% end %>

<%= f.submit "Submit" %>

<% end %>
==> and the partial view (_question_fields.html.erb)
<%= f.label :name, "Display name" %>

<%= f.text_field :name %>
but when _question_fields.html.erb is rendered from an ajax call, it doesnt know what "f" is anymore! How can my controller pass the "f" to the partial view?
Hope someone with more Rails experience than me can help,cos I've spent an entire day trying to solve this and its not getting anywhere. Hasnt anyone tried to do the same thing?

Graftobian Cosmetics - Bright Fantasy Look
I did this tutorial a few weeks ago but still wanted to make sure I shared it with you all. If you follow me on twitter, you all know of my fiasco where I filmed a tutorial that was completely erased. It was a two parter two...so sad!
Here is a pic of the original look:
I used mainly products from Graftobian Cosmetics in this tutorial. I wanted to show you the versatility of the line...my last tutorial with Joy was more wearable and this one is more fantasy. But you know me...the brighter the better! My tutorials are a little longer than they used to be since I've pretty much stuck to the whole talking while doing makeup thing...but I like them better this way so you can really see the application process and hear my reviews on the products.
Check out my video tutorial!
Or if you can't watch videos at work, you can check out the steps below:
My foundation and blush were already taken care of so I just straight to eyes. I first started by applying an eyeshadow base. My lids aren't oily so I used the lightest foundation shade in the super cream palette. I would recommend using something like UDPP underneath if you have problems with lid creasing.
Next I used Warm Creme eyeshadow as my all over lid color...as well as my highlight color. This is such a versatile shadow...it's definitely becoming a staple in my kit.
Next, I used the FantasEyes palette for my eyeshadow. The yellow on the inner lid, sky blue in the middle, darker blue in outer crease, green above crease, pink and purple on the lower lashline. I used all the colors except red and orange! Did I mention I'm so excited there's a red in this palette? It's so hard to find a good red eyeshadow nowadays.
I finished the look by lining it with the black cake cream liner...it's a breeze to use with my Bobbi Brown fine liner brush. I also used a turquoise pencil liner on my waterline. Next I applied Bliss lashes...the ones I used in this tut were more subtle than the original look.
Onto lips! I used the pink color (2 from the right) to nude out my lips. Then I lined with MAC magenta lip pencil and topped with magnetique lipglass and then a matching dazzleglass.
The final look!
Hope you guys enjoyed! As you can tell, I'm really a fan of Graftobian products, especially for you makeup artists/afficionados out there looking to expand your kit. The products are high quality and fun to work with. Stay tuned for more tutorials using Graftobian in the future!

After pondering the subject last night, I did some on line research this morning concerning how oven thermostats control temperature and all sites said the same thing, they measure air temperature so even if steel was polished to a mirror finish it would not affect how the thermostat works.http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5233887_oven-thermostat-work_.htmlDon
Actually, if the steel is very shiny, when you put the broiler on, it will bounce the radiant back upward and at the thermostat, heating the thermostat and turning the broiler off rather quickly. As steel is heated, though, it should naturally blue (a form of rust), so as the plate is used, it should lose some of it's shine.

Love This Formula
Posted by Reviewer3105098 on Mar 23, 2011
This worked SO good for my rhinitis. It's the only thing I've tried that has worked so far. It's a huge shame Nature's Way has such high quality herbs but only offers them with Gelatin capsules, for two reasons.. I'm vegan. And if you have herpes or get cold sores gelatin triggers major outbreaks. :-( I can't buy any herbs or supplements that use gelatin capsules anymore. These herbs are also anti-aging, and this is a spectacular formula too. I'm so upset. I really Loved Nature's Way because their herbs are always mint quality.. I just really wish they'd put them in vegan capsules already... Please everybody, write them and tell them to stop using gelatin!
Great for the cold and flu!
Posted by Reviewer1193966 on Oct 16, 2007
I love this stuff! Hey, you are going to get the cold or flu whether or not you get a vaccine, and vaccines are bad anyway(using mercury as a stabilizer!) you take two of these every four hours while you are sick, and you will recover faster and safer than pumping yourself full of over the counter crap!
It's the Astragalus and Reishi
Posted by Reviewer1280129 on Mar 24, 2010
I rely on this when I start to come down with a cold virus, but I have to start it right at the beginning of my illness. By the next day I have no sign of any symptoms. I used to take just the astragalus & reishi together in a product that was discontinued. This is the only supplement I can find now that has those two together in capsule form. I've never had a positive effect from echinacea, but it just happens to be a part of the supplement. It's the other two ingredients that really boost my immune system.
Actually Works
Posted by Reviewer2492424 on Feb 20, 2009
This actually seems to work. It has stopped dozens of colds in their tracks when started taking during the first day of the cold. Nothing else works as well as this. (I've tried many other immune support products over the past ten years or so.)
Posted by Reviewer1388330 on Aug 02, 2011
Absolutely the most helpful product I have ever used for chronic allergies, better than antibiotics or allergy meds!
no.1 natural antibiotic on earth
Posted by EgyptianTarekElagamy on Apr 01, 2015
organic natural Echinacea with Astragalus mixed with Reishi product full of the real power of nature . it given my body more than i need . all my family like it. i think this is no.1 natural antibiotic on earth . sure i will order many more
I will never be without this again.
Posted by Kittyhearsawho on Nov 11, 2014
This product is amazing. It reduces the duration of colds and viruses even if you've you haven't taken it in it's earliest stage which is what you need to do with some supplements. This also incredible for my autistic son. He suffers from a condition called PANDAS. Strep antibodies attack the basal ganglia and cause extreme behaviour problems such as aggression and obsession. The only solution was antibiotics until I discovered this. This year he hasn't needed any antibiotics, he's had this instead and it's worked just as well. It also seems to help with his high histamine issues. It truly makes such a difference.
immune help
Posted by Reviewer3122063 on Sep 17, 2011
this is excellent. It cleared up a digestion problem I have had for years.
very good
Posted by paisleyjade on Mar 17, 2012
This is a product I keep in my home. If you have a toothache, it heals it and it helps ward off colds and flu, but not 100%, but it definitely makes a difference.
Genius combination for keeping the flu bug away
Posted by 5443077785671351708 on May 11, 2015
This is great at improving your immunity to ward off flu bugs. The combination of these three herbs is exactly what you want to keep the bacteria away

Last-Minute Gift Ideas
Every year, magazine editors around the world solicit ideas from their writers for the compulsory "holiday gift guide." Every year, we scrounge the Internet in search of items we think our editors will go for. 'Cause the more gift ideas the editors buy, the more money we make.
But this year, in among the normal half-hearted recommendations (yeah, totally buy your wife a pink HDMI cable), we thought we'd use the editorial freedom we've gained with this Tech^2 blog to show you some of the ideas we weren't able to sell to the Sound+Vision editors.
Now we're not sure which
Grinch editor put the kibosh on these wonderful selections, or why. Maybe the products were too awesome. Maybe our writeups were too truthful. We'll never know. Regardless, if our official Sound+Vision gift guide didn't deliver that just-right gift for that special someone in your life, maybe you'll find it here. But only if that special someone is "special" in the sense of being, you know, "special."

On the air, with nothing to wear
A Clearwater radio station celebrates a milestone with its first nude broadcast in the home office, on a show aptly named The Fitness Buff.
By VANESSA DE LA TORRE
Published July 7, 2006
The Fitness Buff Show with Pete Williams has been on air since October. Mostly it broadcasts from Paradise Lakes, a Pasco County nudist resort that sponsors the weekly radio program. Nude vacationers mingle with the nude hosts by the swimming pool.
Not this time!
Last week, hosts Pete Williams, author and freelance sportswriter, and Sabrina Vizzari, a nudist since she was 11, held the hourlong fitness and health show at its mother-ship station, WTAN-AM 1340.
The small and homey WTAN building is near downtown Clearwater, on N Myrtle Avenue next to a church.
For station owner Dave Wagenvoord, the naked broadcast is both a business pattern and milestone.
"Pete says, 'You have freedom, you feel relaxed,' " Wagenvoord, 73, said of the nudist lifestyle.
"I would not feel relaxed."
But Wagenvoord is no stranger to the provocative approach. He has a Honolulu radio station that did its 10th anniversary show in the buff. And once in Las Vegas, he helped orchestrate a nude broadcast on a Saturday morning. Lots of TV crews came out, he said. No one has ever demanded, " 'Put their clothes on,' or anything like that."
And now...
"To celebrate our 60th anniversary of our show in Clearwater, we'll have our first nudist broadcast in 60 years," Wagenvoord said. "That we know about. We're not sure a person at 3 a.m. took their clothes off in 1951.
"It is totally G-rated, health-related," he quickly added of the show's content.
Let us be the judge of that.
But actually, yes, he's right.
Toward the end of their 4 p.m. show last week, Williams the sportswriter and Vizzari the professional nudist informed listeners of upcoming 5-kilometer races in Tampa Bay. "Four great races coming up!" Williams said.
Moments before, Vizzari, 33, who keeps in shape by playing volleyball and dancing, removed one last piece of bikini. In the control room, station engineer Ed Davis seemed to flinch. Playfully flinch.
Listeners were likely oblivious to the in-studio strip. Which might bring one to ask: What's the point?
"You have to remember that radio is theater of the mind," Wagenvoord said. "Their mind will twirl. And if it twirls, we're getting through."
Wagenvoord calls it "niche programming."
Williams, 36, just says it's a good fitness show.
"Surprisingly, I've been surprised how little to-do people have made over this," he said after the show, fully clothed again. "It's really not a big deal."

New Website - 12/12/2014
After a critical security issue in the Drupal content management system we had to take our old website down. Due to several circumstances it took us longer than expected to create a new website and carry over the content from our old website. Although this process is not completed yet, we are working on getting everything back online step by step.

Beginning in 1979 the Ohio state legislature addressed distributed generation in the form of contractual methods for entering into solar easements. It wasn't until electric restructuring in 1999 that the legislature addressed distributed energy with a grant mechanism for renewable energy in the form of Ohio's Advanced Energy Fund and net-metering regulations. Net-metering was again addressed by the legislature in 2008, while Ohio's Advanced Energy Fund was not extended and expired in 2010. (S.B. 221) [2, 3, 4]
"In May 2008, Governor Strickland signed Substitute Senate Bill 221 mandating a peak-load reduction standard:
"Beginning in 2009, an electric distribution utility shall implement peak demand reduction programs designed to achieve a one per cent reduction in peak demand in 2009 and an additional seventy-five hundredths of one per cent reduction each year through 2018."
The new law also sets standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy. In addition, it requires the Ohio Public Utilities Commission to report annually the verification of peak-demand reduction achieved by utilities complying with these standards. Finally, the law establishes that it is state policy to "encourage innovation and market access for…demand-side management, time differentiated pricing, and implementation of advanced metering infrastructure."" [1]
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio had approved distributed generation, including net metering, by 2000. By 2006 they had established load and demand side management programs that have continued to evolve. The Commission also approved Real Time pricing for businesses by 2001 and Time-of-Day pricing for residential and business consumers by 2010. [5, 6]
Parts of Ohio are within the PJM footprint so within that area there is the opportunity for end-use customers to participate in demand response though curtailment service providers.
"In March 2007, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio issued a Finding and Order that adopts the Staff's recommendations regarding PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005:
"Based on the record in this proceeding, we agree with staff that there may be some questions as to whether many of the EDU's current tariffs comply with the EPACT. Consequently, all EDUs should offer tariff s to all customer classes which are, at a minimum, differentiated according to on and off -peak wholesale periods. Time-of-use meters should be made available to customers subscribing to the on and off -peak tariffs. We also agree that staff should analyze the cost benefit of AMI deployment strategies. Consistent with staff's original proposal, the analysis should include system benefits that may accrue to the EDU, customer benefits, and societal benefits."
The March 2007 Order, however, did not close the proceeding, but rather called for a "series of technical conferences to discuss further associated issues and cost sharing and recovery mechanisms (e.g., each EDU's detailed AMI business case analysis)." The Commission also directed electric distribution companies to file, in preparation for these conferences, a comprehensive list of AMI technologies and corresponding costs as well as a "copy of the sections of their tariff s which include daily time sensitive rates.
In July 2008, the Commission opened a proceeding in response to Substitute Senate Bill 221, which Governor Strickland signed in May 2008. Specifically, the Commission began the proceeding to address its Staff's proposed rules for the process of utilities filing market-rate offers (MRO) and electric-security plans (ESP). In September 2008, the Commission issued an Order approving the Staff's proposed rules with modifications." [1]
Distributed generators include qualifying cogeneration, small power production facilities, and net metering installations. Where pricing is based on a Time-of-Day seasonal on peak and off peak rate.
Load/demand side management includes load response programs, thermal energy storage programs, peak time rebate programs, and peak load management programs. Load response programs allow a customer receive credit for reducing its load based on the market price differential of the MISO Locational Marginal Price compared to the Generation Service Rider. Thermal energy storage allows the company to shift usage to off peak hours. Peak time programs limit the number of peak critical times to ten in which the company can call for up to eight hours on a voluntary basis, customers that voluntarily lower their demand during those times will earn a credit. Peak load management programs allow the customer to reduce demand a contracted level based on contracted periods of time upon notification by the company.
Time-of-Day includes residential Time of Day with advanced metering, critical peak pricing, and for business customers Real Time pricing. Time of Day breaks the cost for electricity seasonally into periods with energy priced on-peak or off-peak. Critical peak pricing breaks the cost seasonally into periods with energy priced on-peak, shoulder, or off-peak. Real Time pricing uses Day Ahead hourly Locational Marginal Prices for the contracted Midwest ISO node provided eight hours in advance of the day the power flows.

Marble Hill holds the singular geographic distinction of having been a part of Manhattan, an island unto its own, and a part of the mainland. The neighborhood lies on a rock precipice in the Bronx that is bounded by West 230th Street, Exterior Street, Johnson Avenue, and the Harlem River. Originally, Marble Hill physically belonged to the Manhattan Island, separated from the Bronx by Spuyten Duyvil Creek. Two bridges, Kings Bridge (1693) and Farmers' Free Bridge (1759), connected the neighborhood to the Bronx mainland. During the Revolutionary War, Patriots built a dozen forts in the neighborhood to defend the bridges. Contrary to plan, the bridges served as the escape route for General George Washington's troops following his defeat in the Battle of Harlem Heights.

Wow. Thanks to our donors' generousity, Adrien is able to continue for a seventh month of improving WebPositive, WebKit and its related techologies. $2145 has been raised this past month! This is spot on with the number mentioned in last month's contract announcement article.
If you did not hear, Adrien has started working on HTML5 Audio/Video support, specifically the audio portion. As usual, he is publishing weekly progress reports on his blog. Periodically, new builds of WebKit and WebPositive are merged into the nightly images.
Once again, allow me to extend our gratitude to everyone who has and continues to donate. The yearly total is now soaring past $13000, which could make 2014 our best year yet. Each and everyone of you are helping to make Haiku a better product. Thank you! If you have not yet donated, this is the perfect time to do so.
Within these past 4 weeks, over $1,200 USD and &EUR;900 EUR have been raised! Thanks directly to this fundraising, Adrien is now able to be funded through the month of March. With the addition of the newest monthly subscribers, we reached a milestone and now raise over $1,000 per month through recurring monthly donations!
Pawel's contract has concluded with his work being merged into Haiku's master repository. Hopefully within the next few days, he will be able to post another blog post to summarize the improvements.
Now the even better news -- the recent donations from everyone has made it possible for Adrien to continue for another month! If another $1200 USD is raised by the end of this month, then there will definitely be enough funds to keep him coding through March (At the moment, our reserves would drop to below $800 USD, which is something we try to avoid.)
This may be the final chapter of contract extensions, as the available funds will be plummeting to less than $1500 USD.
This is excellent news.
As mentioned in the last contract announcement article, the available funding of Haiku, Inc. was starting to dry up.
It had gotten so low, that Adrien and Paweł were told not to expect a third month of contractual development.
However ... Google has contacted the project and informed us of a $5,000 USD donation!
The donation is being processed and should be deposited in the next few weeks.
To simply say "Thank you." is not enough to express the depth of our gratitude.
Instead, many agree that actions speak louder than words.
This donation will immediately be used to finance Adrien and Paweł's contracts for an additional month.
There are few, if any, better uses for this money than to provide two previous Google Summer of Code students the opportunity to flip bits, not burgers.
... and by the way, Thank you Google! :-D
If there was ever an example of the saying "Money talks and ...", this is it.
Since publishing the "HAIKU needs you!" article in late August, over $5,000 has been raised!
This is from 110 individuals who made a combined 75 recurring monthly donations and 72 one-time donations.
The yearly total is soaring over $20,000 with the help of 322 donors making 354 recurring and 322 one-time donations.
Because of their efforts and generosity, we are able to finance another month of contractual development for both Adrien and Pawel!
Thank you and congratulations to everyone who helped!
We have heard you. Other areas of Haiku need some loving. Though, we need your contribution to make this awesome.
First and foremost, the package management contracts are going well and are starting to wind down. Ingo is expected to finish his last month within the next week. Oliver will have another 160 hours (spread over two months). As for actual progress, as seen in Ingo's recent blog post, it has been amazing. Hybrids are working (even ground work is done for future possible x86_64 + x86-gcc4 + x86-gcc2 combinations!). Building and updating Haiku for new platforms (e.g., various ARM platforms) is easier for developers. The tool for building ported software, haikuporter, is much more versatile, functional and reduces complexities for porters. They have requested wide spread testing of the HaikuPM images, in anticipation of merging the changes back into master branch.
On to current news -- two developers, Adrien "PulkoMandy" Destugues and Pawel "pdziepak" Dziepak wish to have the opportunity to dedicate full-time hours improving different aspects of Haiku. Adrien plans to work on our port of WebKit and our native browser, Webpositive. His first task will be to bring the Services Kit to maturation, which was a former Google Summer of Code project. Pawel desires to enhance CPU scheduler, with respect to utilizing caches better, performance on HyperThread enabled processors and power-savvy (as in wattage consumption) features. As of now, there are only enough funds to provide each developer with a single month of contractual development!

To improve you need more than some high quality workouts. There are a number of training components that will help one improve in a specific area. But when these are blended together into a "team" the cumulative effect of the blend can lead to a performance peak: the total effect is greater than the sum of the parts. When all of these are blended correctly, improvements and adaptations are integrated into the internal workings of your muscle cells, cardiovascular system, orthopedic structures and muscle function to produce a synergy of performance.
Balance is crucial. You may perform the best workouts in your life, but if you don't have enough rest between workouts, the body will not rebound, and residual fatigue or damage will reduce the final result. When workouts are too far ahead of current ability, the muscles may suffer from lingering fatigue at the start of your goal race, with a slowdown at the end. I've found the Human Touch massage chair a great way to help the muscles recover from a strenuous workout–while providing an amazing relaxation effect.
1.Set realistic goals each season. Use a conservative "performance prediction" chart or tool and set a "leap of faith" goal.
2.The body responds better to gradual improvement allowing the many internal systems to improve your infrastructure without being exhausted and/or breaking down. A 3% performance improvement is realistic during a training season, while a 5% improvement is possible but very challenging.
3.So it's better to project a modest improvement of 3% which is more likely to lead to steady and progressive changes over several years.
4.Use the "magic mile" time trial in this book to monitor improvement—a reality check. See the sidebar below.
5.The long runs are the most important training component in a training program. They will bestow the endurance necessary for your goal. You cannot go too slow on the long ones. I recommend running at least 3 minutes per mile slower than you are currently running, per mile, in your race. Long ones must be done slowly with liberal walk breaks for fast recovery. By going longer than marathon distance you may never "hit the wall" again.
6.On non-long-run weekends, run a series of speed sessions. These train you to deal with the physical and psychological challenges during the last 6 miles of your race where your time goal is either made, or compromised. These push back your performance wall—both mentally and physically. See my books YEAR ROUND PLAN, 5K/10K, & GALLOWAY TRAINING PROGRAMS www.JeffGalloway.com for specific workouts to your goals.
7.Insert sufficient rest between the stress workouts to allow all the body parts to rebuild. Rest is crucial if you want to benefit from the hard workouts instead of increasing the fatigue level or breaking down with injury. On low mileage days, even if you have a form drill or hill workout scheduled, if you feel that you need to jog easily on that day, and shorten the mileage, do so.
8.Back off when your "gut instinct" tells you that you may be getting injured. The prime reason that runners don't achieve their goal is "injury interruption" with the loss of capacity. When your intuition tells you that it may be injury, stop the workout and take an extra day or two off.
9.The cadence drills help you become a more efficient runner. These are scheduled into the short runs during the week.
10.The acceleration-gliders train the muscles to "shift gears" when needed, so that you're ready for any challenge. They also help you glide to save muscle resources while maintaining speed. Jog slowly for 15 steps, jog a little faster for 15 steps, gradually accelerate for 20 steps (to 5K pace) and then glide, or coast, or gradually slow down. Repeat this 4-6 times.
11.Hills build just the right amount of strength to deal with hills on your race course. They also help you run more efficiently. I recommend runnning 2-4 hills, in the middle of one easy day per week—100-200 yards long. Walk down each hill. Run each hill hard enough to be huffing and puffing at the top, but never sprint.
12.When in doubt, take an extra rest day, if you are having any extraordinary aches, pains, inflammation or loss of function.
13.Get into a Human Touch massage chair and relax the muscles, after every tough workout.
The "Magic Mile" time trials (MM) are reality checks on your goal. These should be done on the weeks noted on the schedule. The MM has been the best predictor of current potential and helps to set a realistic training pace. With this information, you can decide how hard to run during various situations. (If you have any injuries you should not do the MM)
Warm up for these with about 10 minutes of very easy running with liberal walk breaks
Do 4-6 accelerations as in the book–no sprinting
Run around a track if at all possible (or a very accurately measured segment)
Time yourself for 4 laps (or an accurately measured mile). Start the watch at the beginning, and keep it running until you cross the finish of the 4th lap.
On the first MM, don't run all-out: run at a pace that is only slightly faster than your current pace.
Only one MM is done on each day it is assigned
On each successive MM (usually 3 weeks later), your mission is to beat the previous best time.
Don't ever push so hard that you hurt your feet, knees, etc.
Jog slowly for the rest of the distance assigned on that day taking as many walk breaks as you wish.
At the end of the program take your fastest MM and multiply by 1.3 to see what pace might be possible on an ideal day (without crowds) in a marathon, 1.2 in a half marathon, and 1.15 in a 10K.
Training pace is at least two minutes per mile slower than this (MM x 1.3) pace.
After you have run 3 of these MMs (not at one time–on different weekends) you'll see progress and will run them hard enough so that you are huffing and puffing during the second half. For prediction purposes, you want to finish, feeling like you couldn't go much further at that pace. Try walking for about 10-15 seconds at the half, during the MM. Some runners record a faster time when taking short breaks, and some go faster when running continuously. Do what works for you. on the MM.

Topic: two moders for one table?
Let's say i have a user table and i want to interact with that table from two different controllers, does it make sense to have 2 (or more) models for the same table?
This is an archive from Rails Forum. Check out the new community here!

Let's say i have a user table and i want to interact with that table from two different controllers, does it make sense to have 2 (or more) models for the same table?
You can freely manage the same model from different controllers. The only time you'd want to have multiple models from the same table is if you had slightly different types of models.
For example: you could have both Admins and Users in your users table. This makes sense because they might share a lot of stuff (password management, profiles,etc.) but they are also different in a couple of keys ways (Admins get to do more). In this kind of situation you'd want two different model classes.
It's actually really common though that a single model is handled by multiple controllers.
thank you danger.
i wanted to know what's the common way of handling things out there.
It might make sense to use something like single table inheritance. For example, let's say you have a "people" table, but you're keeping track of different types of people, like Employees and Customers. If you have a "type" field in your table to set the type of person you're working with you can subclass like this:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
class Customer < Person
class Employee < Person
Put functionality that's common to both Customers and Employees in the Person class, and specific functionality in the Employee or Customer classes. Then you can create a CustomersController and an EmployeesController.
nice. thanks.
nice board by the way. very helpful.
I've learned a lot from it and I'm planning to start helping newbies as soon as I'm good enough.

There's no rush. Everybody here had a day, not too long ago, when we had no clue what we were doing.
And thanks to Rails, it was only one day.
Just tip: if you use a model in a controller with a different name you get to use the
model :model_name
declaration in the class definition to pull in what's necessary...

This is from Peter King's Tuesday edition of MMQB.
It's always something with Braylon Edwards. Now his friends (and maybe Edwards) were involved in an incident in a Detroit-area bar Sunday night in which a man took 14 stitches after being cut with a knife. Edwards sent out a couple of my-dog-ate-my-homework tweets about his phone being stolen and someone sending out false tweets under his name about fighting. This comes after he pleaded guilty to a September DWI 11 days ago. I could see a team like the Patriots waiting until Edwards' value is at rock bottom -- one year, $1.5 million -- and swoop in to get a player motivated to have a great year.

Comprehensive Description
Sargassum natans, unlike the many benthic Sargassum species (i.e., those that live attached to the sea bottom), is a pelagic (free-floating) brown seaweed that occurs mainly far out in the North Central Atlantic Ocean, but washes ashore regularly. It is often associated with the Sargasso Sea, a very large region situated offshore from the southeastern United States, approximately south and east of Bermuda and seaward from the Gulf Stream. The Sargasso Sea, which accumulates large masses of Sargassum, results from a ring of prevailing ocean currents that enclose an enormous eddy (about 5.2 million square kilometers) which rotates clockwise as a result of the Earth's eastward rotation. Sargassum natans apparently reproduces only asexually, by fragmentation. (Gosner 1978; Kaplan 1988) Gower and King (2008) used satellite imagery to track the origin, distribution, and fate of floating Sargassum. Using this approach, they analyzed data from 2002 to 2008 and were able to present the first mapping of the full distribution and movement of pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic. Their results revealed a seasonal pattern in which Sargassum typically shows strong growth in the northwest Gulf of Mexico in the spring of each year, is transported into the Atlantic in about July, appearing east of Cape Hatteras as a "Sargassum jet", and ends up northeast of the Bahamas in February of the following year. Gower and King note that the idea that pelagic Sargassum originates in the Gulf of Mexico, as they propose, was fairly common in the 19th century (based on ship observations), but became less widespread in the following century. Based on their findings, Gower and King conclude that that most pelagic Sargassum has a life span of one year or less, with the major "nursery area" being in the northwest Gulf of Mexico. Given their estimated average flow of about one million tons of Sargassum out of the Gulf of Mexico each year, the authors suggest the implied carbon flux should be accounted for in productivity and carbon models.

Skip to comments.Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb has died after battle with cancer
Posted on 05/20/2012 3:44:07 PM PDT by AnAmericanAbroad
Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb has died following a lengthy battle with cancer, his family have said.
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
Bad week for disco.
You mean Donna Summer?
Did she get popped for another DUI?
Couldn't stand the Bee Gees after that disco movie, but liked them before that. Hope he went painlessly.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
Diana Ross croaked?
This is the end of the Bee Gees , the Supremes and those others, too. At least we still have the Beach Boys and Bill Haley's Comets.
No, Donna Summer
Not yet, but last time I saw her on tv, she didn't look good.
man, I have a lot of bad jokes. To whoever died this week..RIP
Yeah. Oops; meant Donna Summer.
I enjoyed the Bee Gees music when I heard them on the radio, just about any song of theirs, but never persued purchasing any of their work.
May he R.I.P.
Might as well write her off along with the Rolling Stones now that Brenda performed their and not his own tunes on SNL last night with other bands, no doubt to annoy Keef who complained about this practice in his memoirs.
I wasn't crazy about the music from SNF, but I liked a lot of the stuff they turned out otherwise. RIP.
Diana Ross died???
always liked this one..
Whether you're a brother
or whether you're a mother
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin
and everybody shakin'
and were stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack made the Bee Gees' superstars, yet it also was the absolute zenith of their career. And once you've hit the zenith, well, there's really only one direction you can go.
I used to HATE disco with a fanatical passion in my heavy metal/punk rock days, but on balance, and with a little perspective, the Bee Gees' were very, very talented.
RIP Robin Gibb and Donna Summer.
No, she just jumped the shark.
Yes, the early music was much better.
How tragic for Barry. The oldest brother has buried all his younger siblings, starting with the youngest. It is a shame.
RIP Robin and prayers for the remaining family.
Diana Ross?
I think she's still stayin alive
LOL! Good one.
I don't know why, but I totally got Diana Ross and Donna Summer mixed up.
Both Robin and his twin, Maurice died of problems with their intestines....coincidence?
Jonathan Winters and Phyllis Diller are still alive!
Yes, their earlier music was better.
But I have to admit, "Staying Alive" has a hook that just grabs you. Perfect strut.
Sad for Barry, as you said.
Prayers and condolences to the Gibb family.
Valerie Simpson is alive, but Nick Ashford is dead.
From what I have read that whole Gibb family has had genetic health problems. Not surprised Robin got sick like Maurice. The Gibbs just has that kind of illness that runs in families. Pity because they had talent.
'Saturday Night Fever' is a very good film if you can get past its pop culture baggage.
I'm playing the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in your honor.
We may die, but DISCO LIVES FOREVER!!!
This is kind of a tragedy. People scoff at the Bee Gees, what with the disco association and all. But they had tight, soaring harmonies, and while the music maybe wasn't groundbreaking or profound it was sincere. Any given Gibb boy had more talent in one chest hair than most of today's pop performers can muster at all.
Ok. I wasn't in love then.
Bad week for another icon of times past by.
Makes be feel old.
I wasn't a huge fan of their music, but the memories their music invokes takes me back to a sweet time in life I'll never forget.
On the flip side, they're # two this week....
RIP, he and his brothers made some memorable music.
That poor family — first Andy, then Maurice and now Robin!
May he R.I.P.!!!!
come on - That's Janet Jackson (Michael's sister)
Very true. I remember reading a similarly-themed article in either NR or American Spectator.
Woo hoo....makes ME feel old...
HE is # two this week.
I'll resume my usual screw ups later!
Stand up straighter. The jokes won't go so far over your grape.
I remember this performance. I was 8! and was bemused by Robin's covering his right ear during solos. Great tune, too.
And I fell out of bedRIP Robin.
hurting my head
from things that I said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me.

MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. -- Almost every day, 14-year-old April Dawn Millsap of Armada Village would take her border collie for a walk and would usually return in about 30 minutes.
When she didn't return within an hour Thursday, her worried mother called police.
What she soon found out was a parent's worst nightmare: her child was found dead.
Police said Friday that Millsap's body was found Thursday night near Macomb Orchard Trail, where she was taking the dog for a walk. The Macomb County Medical Examiner's Office ruled it a homicide.
Joggers discovered the body after being approached by the dog, which repeatedly went toward them and then toward an area where the body was located at about 8:20 p.m.
"It's a little overwhelming," Armada Village Police Chief Howard Smith said Friday at a press conference outside his police station. He couldn't recall the last time the small village in Macomb County had a homicide.
As police spoke to news media outside the station, a crowd of concerned onlookers from the village gathered around.
About 30 investigators with local, county, and state police are helping canvass the area for clues.
Police are searching for a large gray box van, a painter's van that was occupied by two white males. Anyone with information is urged to call 877-616-4677.
Police said there are no signs of sexual assault and said her death wasn't an accident. They would not comment on specifics because of the ongoing investigation.
When the joggers encountered the girl's dog, "they thought the dog was trying to attack them," said Lt. Michael Shaw of Michigan State Police.
The dog "kept coming up and going back" to the body.
"She walked on that trail every day," Shaw said.

City Man Charged For Assaulting Infant
A Jamestown man has been taken into custody after an investigation into the physical injury of a 1-year-old.
On Oct. 24, Michael C. Olay, 35, was taken into custody after a Jamestown Police Department investigation revealed that Olay allegedly caused physical injury to a 1-year-old child left into his care and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The incident allegedly occurred at a residence in the city of Jamestown on Oct. 13 while the child's mother was working. Olay was allegedly dating the child's mother and baby-sitting at the time of the incident. According to Jamestown Police Department Captain Robert Samuelson, the child's injuries were not life-threatening.
Olay has been charged with second-degree felony assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He was taken to the Chautauqua County Jail after being arraigned. Child Protective Services assisted the Jamestown Police Department's investigation.
Olay has been connected to another recent crime. In August, Olay was charged with two counts of petit larceny after it was alleged he left Wal-Mart with $110.84 worth of merchandise without paying. In July, police learned Olay allegedly exited Wal-Mart with a mountain bike without paying. He was issued appearance tickets to be in Busti Court at a later date.

A Slowly Shifting Market Landscape
Collaboration is an activity tailor-made for the cloud, as employees roam from device to device, one minute on a smartphone, the next on a PC, wrapping up the workday on the couch with an iPad. Sure, lots of large enterprises have deployed internal collaboration systems, usually SharePoint. But they tend to live within walled corporate gardens under tight IT control. They're difficult to access when mobile. There's no federation or interaction with the external collaboration forums, whether Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or YouTube, that employees use for both business and pleasure.
Given that, we asked more than 25 companies with cloud/SaaS collaboration services targeting enterprises to respond to a detailed questionnaire. We received 11 responses, with participants ranging from big software companies such as Google and Citrix to scrappy up-and-comers like Huddle and ThoughtFarmer. You can download our questionnaire as well as full responses here.
There's something for everyone among our respondents. Google wants to be your all-in-one, cloud-based source for email and Office documents, while layering on an increasingly rich set of collaboration features that work across its entire ecosystem. In contrast, services like those from Atlassan and Podio target closely knit project teams and workgroups looking to augment core apps from IT central planning with a rich set of social-network-inspired collaboration features.
We break the market down in this report to see where each model excels and falls short, while highlighting common features that have become table stakes in this space. The good news: It's never been easier to get a rich set of collaboration capabilities for short money. (R6111112)

Emergency group tackles mock disease outbreak in drill
MARSHALL – Being prepared for a medical emergency isn't just a job for area health care providers. In an event like a deadly outbreak of disease, many more groups, from law enforcement to funeral directors and the media, would all have parts to play.
That idea was the idea behind tabletop exercises that area responders took part in on Wednesday afternoon. Lyon County emergency responders, hospital representatives, public safety officers and others helped form a response plan for a "mass fatality" disaster – in this case, a hypothetical outbreak of plague.
It might have seemed a little extreme, but Jason Kloss, environmental health manager for Southwest Health and Human Services, said the exercises were a way for emergency managers "to find out what the capacities are" in their response systems.
Lyon County Emergency Manager Tammy VanOverbeke said the exercise would also help in shaping the county's own mass fatality response plan.
Lyon County was one of six counties in southwest Minnesota taking part in the mass fatality exercise by teleconference. Coordinators from the Southwest Emergency Preparedness Team would give participants "updates" on the spread of the disease and the number of people hospitalized or dead in their county, as well as other hypothetical scenarios like drug and medical staff shortages. Exercise participants would then form response plans for the situation as it unfolded.
Participants were urged to be "as realistic as possible" about their counties' ability to respond.
Lyon County participants were faced with many urgent questions during the exercise. For example, how soon should county emergency responders establish a base of operations? How could they get needed medicine and supplies to hospitals in Marshall and Tracy? How should they respond to the media or to worried members of the public?
Security at area hospitals and clinics would be a key concern during a fatal outbreak, said Minneota Police Chief Eric Johnson. People would tend to congregate at their local hospital, or overwhelm phone lines with questions, medical responders agreed.
"Chances are, it would be triage in the parking lot," said Charlie Snyder of the Tracy Ambulance Service.
In the case of a deadly outbreak, it could also be a challenge to store the bodies of disease victims. Funeral director Quinn Horvath said area funeral homes could help, but they'd have limited space. They would also be subject to direction from the Minnesota Department of Health on how to handle the bodies, he said.
As the imaginary casualties began to increase to more than 50, and participants received requests for relief nurses at hospitals and nursing homes, the Lyon County group members said they would declare a county-wide state of emergency. They said they'd also request the National Guard be mobilized to help with security and logistics.
Some participants in Wednesday's exercise said it would help them refine their own emergency plans. Cheryl Verschelde, who helped represent Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center during the exercise, said the hospital does have disaster plans in place. However, the exercises provided some ideas to make them more specific.
"It might help to have some of that detail," Verschelde said. Working together with other groups of responders was also helpful. "It was nice to see all the people at the table."
