Customer Reviews - United Kingdom
Was a bit wary about spending almost £20 on an app but my friend has spent £165 on a golf GPS device and my purchase is now a bargain. Used for the first time today and compared with the other device - yardages were exactly the same on both. Gives accurate distances to front, middle and back of each green as well as all hazards and, brilliantly, to your favourite layup points. The stats delivered after the round are really useful as well.
Wow, what a usefull app. Records your round as you play or when you have finished, has detailed analysis of your games, and the gps is reliable
This is amazing so accurate, well worth the money!
Wow, what a usefull app. Records your round as you play or when you have finished, has detailed analysis of your games, and the gps is reliable
This is amazing so accurate, well worth the money!
This is great with all you need to help get around the course. It could add more advice on club selection by using user set club distances to suggest which club within striking range of green. Overall though Its a fantastic app
Used 4 times so far in the uk. Worth every penny....no more paper scorecards and distance guessing!
Used it today and wow how good is this. This app finds the course quickly and shows the information in no time at all. There are no delays in slowing aerial views. Combine this with a laser and you won't need any other gps device. 5 stars from me!
Unbelievable app, this would easily take 5 shots off my round if I could only putt :(
I already had a sureshot gps and was happy with it, however having reviewed this app I took the plunge and purchased it. Wow what a quality piece of kit, I used to play off scratch years ago but now off three, having started practicing again this app will no doubt have a couple of shots off that by the end of the year. The stats show you what areas of your game to work on. I recommended this to my dad who was off 13 and is now off ten within twelve weeks!! The course layout and distances are spot on. I would recommend this to anyone. Five stars
Someone please explain what teebox rating is all about?
very easy to use and a bargain for the price - seems accurate to the metre- although you have to estimate the position of the pin on the green so not as good as a laser but still very good for the money - went to new Golf coruse to use for first time and it knew exactly where I was so no need to download course beforehand - heavy on power though but 10/10 well done guys
Unbelievable purchase. Stats are beneficial even to me, being a mid-high handicapper. Yardage is spot on and layup yardages make for better course management and assist in lowering handicaps. It does have some slight drawbacks ie takes a minute or so to acquire the satellites to get your yardage. Okay, so this may be alot longer than the hand held GPS systems but remember, £17.99 as opposed to £150-£200. Think it's worth a minute of your time. Great app!
the best think i have bought in the apps store.it keeps all the shots hole by hole and the gps side is very good too.
Great app... Does everything you want... Combine with Golfplan for ultimate caddy/pro/coach help!
What a fantastic apps! Worth the money. This is teh first time I spent more than £5 on an apps. And it is worth every penny. Easy to use, GPS is pretty accurate. And I am roaming also. Well - my phone bill is probably going to kill me, but the apps itself is fantastic. Doesnt take you a lot of time to take down teh score. Almost teh same time as if you are keeping it manually. It automatically emails every player after the game is completed(if you use the player from your contact list). Only thing I hope to see next is the Aerial view. SO far I have used it in 2 golf courses, but the aerial view doesnt come out. (maybe that is better - so taht I dont have to pay more on the phone bill!!)
Great app... Does everything you want... Combine with Golfplan for ultimate caddy/pro/coach help!
Great App best in the store!!! Use in Sat mode it is just brilliant!
Great App best in the store!!! Use in Sat mode it is just brilliant!
2 words......... The best
Great app worth every penny, if you play golf then this is a no brainer as it's extremely useful.
I felt compelled to write this even though I had not written one before. Used it last week and it was spot-on. Distances within yards of the course 200, 150 and 100 yard measures. Helped me check where I was going and the best angles at tee-off on dog-legs. Made me take an extra club several times after seeing how far back of green was. Result was three under my handicap (10). Seeing my statistics is a real bonus and will give me better focus on my practice areas. Outstanding app, well done guys!
A friend recommended I try this and I've used it a couple of times at my new club. It's clear, accurate, extremely easy to use and my playing partner on Friday said "right, I'm going to buy an iPhone" on the basis of this app. It even emails your score cards to you in all their gory detail!
I'm not usually one for spending more than 99p on an app but i took the risk on this (based on the reviews) and was not dissapointed!! It offers the whole package, yardage calculator, scorecard, handicap calculator & round statistics. The handy sleep facility stops the application from draining the battery and awakes virtually straight away to give you yet another accurate yardage calculation. Excellent app well worth the monet!!

As securitization rocketed onto the global capital markets scene, its rapid rise was then compromised by too much too soon. Get some tips for how to restore lost faith.
Market conditions and demand, legislative reform, and innovation allowed the securitization industry to evolve from its infancy into a mainstay of the financial markets in less than three decades. As investor acceptance increased, the markets continued to grow and innovate. However, at times innovation came at the cost of decreased transparency, perceived declines in quality, and increased risk. The combined effects of weakening credit assessments and a downturn in the housing market and global economy led to a dramatic decrease in new securitization transactions. Although securitization is expected to maintain its key role in global capital markets, the market continues to face challenges as it recovers.
Restoring confidence in the securitization market requires a focus on several core principles:

What? Scientists get things wrong? We know. It's shocking to hear, but science isn't always an exact science. Mistakes do happen -- and they often lead to great scientific discoveries. So, grab your safety glasses and see if you can identify the most embarrassing scientific moments ever.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
What is the name of the protoscience where philosophy, science, occultism and theology come together to turn lead into gold?
The Merriam-Webster definition of alchemy is "a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life." Though many experts don't consider alchemy to be an actual science, it is often referred to as a protoscience that inspired modern day chemistry.
Question 2 of 20
According to Johann Joachim Becher, phlogiston is an essential element for what chemical reaction?
Those Renaissance men sure were interesting, but they were still rookies at understanding science. In 1667, Johann Joachim Becher developed a theory that all combustible objects contained the element phlogiston and required it to burn. Once we discovered that it was oxygen that fire needed in order to burn, Johann's theory about phlogiston went up in smoke.
Question 3 of 20
Roughly how old is the planet Earth?
4000 years
6000 years
4 billion years
We're lucky we keep getting smarter as time wears on, because our understanding of time is definitely getting better. Back in biblical times, people weren't so sure about how long the world had been around. In the 17th century, scholars mapped out the timeline in the Bible and guessed that the Earth was created around 4000 B.C. In the 18th century, geologists concluded that with shifting plates and such, it was more like 6,000 years old. Thankfully, we discovered radioactive dating in the early 20th century, and figured out that this giant rock we're living on is way older than we thought -- more than 4 BILLION years old! It took a while to get there, but we did.
Question 4 of 20
What is the smallest particle of matter?
Here's another example of science mistakes paving the way for bigger discoveries. Around the 5th century B.C., the Greek philosopher Democritus proposed that matter was made up of atoms, which he touted as the smallest particles. But it took until the early 20th century for physicists to discover that atoms were made up of even smaller particles called neutrons, protons and electrons. Physicists continue to whittle down the theories about matter, and now the quark is thought to be one of the smallest particles. But wait a few minutes and a new one might be discovered.
Question 5 of 20
Before 1953, what did scientists think was the key to heredity?
Until the middle of the 20th century, scientists did believe that DNA was genetic material, but they thought that proteins were the link that passed along hereditary traits (because DNA was too simple.) In 1953, Watson and Crick published their findings that showed the new double-helix model for DNA. This convinced fellow scientists that this simple molecule could actually handle code for hereditary traits.
Question 6 of 20
Until the late 19th century, doctors thought infection was caused by this.
bad air
Back then, doctors were pretty new at this whole surgery thing, and not very knowledgeable about how disease is spread. It wasn't until science greats like Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister arrived that the docs realized that unclean hands and surgical instruments could cause infections. They thought nebulous concepts like "bad air" were the culprits.
sinful behavior
Question 7 of 20
What celestial body lies at the center of our solar system?
the moon
the sun
Hopefully the word "solar" in solar system tipped you off. Or your 1st grade science knowledge. You probably remember learning about the solar system as a little kid and made a model of the planets revolving around the sun. Surprisingly, one of man's biggest science mistakes was believing that the Earth was the center of the Universe. Until Copernicus persuaded everyone to let go of their egos and look at reality. Sorry, Ptolemy, it's not all about you.
Question 8 of 20
What product, now recognized as dangerous, was advertised as healthful in medical journals of the 1930s and 1940s?
It took a long time for science to convince doctors that cigarettes were linked to lung disease. It wasn't until the 1950s that scientific studies started to sink in. Before then, doctors thought health issues connected to cigarette smoking were a minimal problem that only affected certain unfortunate folks. So, tobacco companies took this opportunity to sell "healthier" cigarettes and advertise in medical journals. That must be why you see doctors smoking in old movies.
Question 9 of 20
What is the main cause of ulcers?
spicy food
For years, doctors wrote off ulcers as the result of stress, though many researchers claimed otherwise. In 2005, Barry Marshall and Robin Warren won a Nobel Prize for debunking this mistaken idea and proving that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori was the culprit. Tummies all over the world are thanking them.
Question 10 of 20
Which science mistake is the drug company Pfizer credited with making?
Though both of these products were happy accidents, Pfizer gets credit for creating Viagra. It appears that unusual side effects popped up while they were testing a drug meant for heart conditions.
Question 11 of 20
Which of these science mishaps caused the space shuttle Challenger to explode?
failure of an O-ring seal
The Challenger accident was one of the most upsetting science mistakes in history, both because of the loss of lives and because so many people witnessed it happening. A failed O-ring seal caused the explosion. This particular O-ring had been known to fail in cold temperatures, but the launch had been delayed five times, so they went ahead with it.
defective metering rod
prematurely blown hatch
Question 12 of 20
In the 1960s, geneticists crossed honeybees from which two continents to accidentally create a deadly new species?
Europe and Africa
Two Brazilian geneticists crossbred mild-tempered European honeybees with aggressive African honeybees in hopes of creating a new bee that would fare better in the warm South American climate. Instead, they developed a dangerous Africanized honeybee that escaped to Texas and still troubles the Southwestern U.S.
Africa and Asia
Europe and South America
Question 13 of 20
Which doctor was cleaning up his lab when he discovered penicillin?
Louis Pasteur
Joseph Lister
Alexander Fleming
Fleming was having no luck finding a "wonder drug" to cure disease. That is, until he noticed that a contaminated petri dish he'd thrown away was growing a mold that was dissolving the bacteria around it. Ta da! He had discovered penicillin.
Question 14 of 20
Naval engineer Richard James discovered which novelty item?
Richard James gets credit for the Slinky, which was more of a discovery than an invention. He was trying to create a meter to monitor power on battleships. One of the tension springs he was working with fell on the ground and kept bouncing. That's almost cooler than discovering penicillin.
Play Doh
Silly Putty
Question 15 of 20
Which animal was at the center of a fraudulent discovery that was displayed at the National Geographic Society?
Terrasaurus duck
Piltdown chicken
In 1999, a fossil smuggled out of China was supposedly evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. The fossil was proudly displayed at the National Geographic Society, but it turned out to be a hoax. Just some animal parts and pieces glued together. It was called the Piltdown chicken because it was reminiscent of an earlier hoax in the Piltdown quarries of England.
Raptor horse
Question 16 of 20
Which famous science theory was introduced 1989?
string theory
low energy nuclear reaction
cold fusion
Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons claimed in 1989 that they could solve the world's energy problems with cold fusion. Which basically meant harnessing power as great as the sun in a test tube. Rad! Unfortunately, no other scientists have been able to recreate the process and make it work. Now we're left with No Fusion.
Question 17 of 20
The Chernobyl Disaster released how much more radiation than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs combined?
50 times more
100 times more
The massive science mistake made by nuclear engineers on April 26, 1986 released 100 times more radiation than both bombs, killing 4,300 people and disabling 70,000.
500 times more
Question 18 of 20
What smelly substance was thought to cure baldness in 17th century England?
chicken dung
Back in the day, scientists loved to use dung to cure everything. Chicken dung was a popular remedy for baldness in England. Cow dung was used in India to cure cancer. And crocodile dung was popular in ancient Egypt as a contraceptive. But in general, using dung for any kind of cure simply stinks.
cat hairballs
rotting meat
Question 19 of 20
Which animal has been believed to suck the sick right out of you?
Remember those crazy guys who didn't understand gangrene? Well, they are also credited for leeching -- the practice of sticking blood-sucking leeches on your body to remove imbalances. More often than not, it just left a person feeling weaker than when they came into the barber shop in the first place. Yes, they did this in the barber shop. Even more crazy.
sucker fish
Question 20 of 20
Now for some extra credit fun. Name the science mistake that occurred in the movie "Mary Poppins."
umbrella flight
wrong bird for the geographical location
The robin that lands on Mary's finger in the "Spoonful of Sugar" scene is actually an American robin. Not a British one, like you would expect to see in London. While umbrellas are not valid modes of transportation, most people wouldn't actually confuse Mary's magic with botched science facts. The penguins are also out of place geographically, but we'll chalk that up to magic, too.
fake medicine

Skip to comments.IRS officials in Washington were involved in targeting of conservative groups
Posted on 05/13/2013 5:46:24 PM PDT by Seizethecarp
Internal Revenue Service officials in Washington and at least two other offices were involved in the targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, making clear the effort reached well beyond the branch in Cincinnati that was initially blamed, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
IRS officials at the agencys Washington headquarters sent queries to conservative groups asking about their donors and other aspects of their operations, while officials in the El Monte and Laguna Niguel offices in California sent similar questionnaires to tea party-affiliated groups.
IRS employees in Cincinnati also told conservatives seeking the status of social welfare groups that a task force in Washington was overseeing their applications, according to interviews with the activists.
Lois G. Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the IRS, told reporters on Friday the absolutely inappropriate actions were undertaken by front-line people working in Cincinnati to target groups with tea party, patriot or 9/12 in their names.
In one instance, however, Ron Bell, an IRS employee, informed an attorney representing a conservative group focused on voter fraud that the application was under review in Washington. On several other occasions, IRS officials in D.C. and California sent detailed questionaires to conservative groups asking more than a dozen questions about their voter outreach and other activities, according to the documents.
For the IRS to say it was some low-level group in Cincinnati is simply false, said Cleta Mitchell, a partner in the law firm Foley & Lardner LLP who sought to communicate with IRS headquarters about the delay in granting tax-exempt status to True the Vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Heard on cable news: the "Bush appointee" head of the IRS until November 2012...was a Democrat! He was the one who testified in early 2012 that there was no targeting of Tea Party non-profits.
Everyone knows this was not low level Ohio employees and they have to find a way to bring this to DC without pointing the finger at the purple lipped prince.
Get it all out there WaPo. The sooner you get it all out there, the faster you can dismiss it as 'old news'.
Shut down the IRS (and the TSA, the Just-us Dept, the "energy" Dept., the "education" dept, the "labor" dept, the Extortion Protection Agency and any number of others).
Do you think that Obama organized the whole affair?Of course he did.
Wonder if the youtube video guy can be blamed for this breech also? /s
This Administration either thinks the majority of Americans are fools, or that the media will cover their arse for everything, or both, but in no way was a "low-level" worker responsible for policy.
The New York Times endorse this practice back in March of 2012- The MSM and DNC knew.
The I.R.S. Does Its Job
Kinda looks like this was coast to coast doesn't it?
HA....wonder how many LIBERAL organizations the NYTimes would have said should be investigated? Crickets....and there are LOTS more liberal than conservative ones...
I still remember Obama saying, "Punish your enemies."
"Wonder if the youtube video guy can be blamed for this breech also? /s"
That's it! Spontanous audits because of the IRS being upset with the anti-Muslim video.
Fast and Furious, IRS audit the Tea Party, assassinate Libyan Ambassador, wiretap the AP Press, hijack healthcare, raise taxes, print cash, drones and death lists, abortion pills for children, bail banks: criminal government.
Does not resemble the activity of a constitutional republic founded on freedom, not in the least.
Hitler and Stalin look like pissants compared to these goons.
Get real. Hitler and Stalin had body counts in the millions.
This is bad enough, but we aren't burying bodies with construction equipment. Yet.
You think like a State Department hack! (just kidding)
50 Million Abortions in the USA to date. Uncle Joe and Dear Leader Mao have nothing on us.
There is no excuse for the babies killed, but it does need to be kept in a realistic perspective.
FRiend, the 50 million dead babies ARE real.
Life and freedom and liberty. That is where I stand.
For instance:
"Koch Industries Lawyer to White House: How Did You Get Our Tax Information?"
Comparing the current administration to Stalin and Hitler is to overstate things a lot. That is my point.
The hundreds of millions killed by opressive governments around the world are real, too. We're not there yet.
This has legs now...
"This was the result of a few low level employees at one office" is no longer operable.
The only question now is, how well did they obscure the trail to the White House?
Keep in mind that Bill Ayers, just a guy in Obama's neighborhood, just a guy he barely knew, in whose living room Obama launched his political career, openly advocated murdering 25,000,000 Americans, simply because it would be easier than attempting to "re-educate" them.
No, we're not there, yet.
I believe we have commented with each other before on the comparison: this "progressive" government has people that go to work every day with a real hit list of people to kill in other countries, including Americans; the freedom to kill unborn babies within our nation has just been handed to 15 year old children. The second amendment effectively now does not exists in several large cities and states, the Homeland Security is arming itself with billions of rounds of hollow point ammo; there is seemingly never a truthful action by this government, all government action is cloaked while diminishing freedom and life and liberty. Years and years of record unemployment and recession, now IRS tea party attacks, AP "free" press wire taps - personally I think the republic is on the feather edge of collapse. How bad do you think things have to get before this scandalous cabal of nationalist socialist Marxists completely destroy our constitutional republic? Or, is it already gone and I should just accept it and tone done the hyperbole?
If one ponders the events of the last five years, it is entirely understandable why the Russian people accepted Stalin and why German people accepted Hitler, yet I am still astonished to see the Americans accept this criminal tyranny. Lies and Lies and more lies.
That's not happening.
There are problems. Big problems. Overstating them doesn't help you make your point.
Axelrod....Rahm....are just two slimeballs that could / would make that happen.........
Impeachment File on Benghazi Coward B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of the sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
Did you see the Compost just reported the White Hut consul was told on April 22 about the investigation? That is a major development I think.
Dear I.R.S. 'members'/federal employees/members of an AFGE UNION,
In regards to the discovered/unconvered/found out/snitched/leaked/left memo on somebody's desk information concerning investigations of Conservative political organizations and individual Americans.
I wish you all the following:
May the grandchildren that you may have or do presently have, grow to an adult age, and realize the criminal acts you performed, and have party affiliations in opposition to the one that you have sold your souls. May they marry the opposite of what you wish/hope/require them to marry, in either social status, IQ, employment status, or nationality.
I pray that ye view all the above, from your particular Club FED!
Take that!

Lucifer - come now Saul, there is a problem the US Constitution is a much shorter read than your stupid crap book. And it has stood the test of time and unfortunately that darkie will go down in history as a failure, and will be in jail soon enough. So saul, you are now banned to the farthest reaches of hades and you keep company with Hitler, stalin, Lenin, mao, Pol Pot and so many others whom thought that have it made in hades. Remember Hades is my domain, and God is still in control on earth and you guys always forget that he can and will smote you down when you least expect it.

"I got another pair almost like this one and these shoes are just as awsome just like the other ones. ( same name brand) they fit comfy in the toes they do hurt in the beginning until you break them in! I'm a hairdresser and work about 5hrs in them and sometimes i don't take them off for a few more hrs with running around w/ kids stuff. They look great w/jeans."

I am in LOVE with these boots!!!!!!
"These are the most comfortable boots !!!!! So easy to walk in even with the heel height. For me they seemed to run true to size. I usually wear size 8 and they fit perfect. I also love the fact that they don't have a slick bottom. They have nice traction to them, like a work boot, so you don't slip and slide when walking on slick floorings etc. I get compliments whenever I wear them!!!!"

New ways to trick your tummy to feel full on less
Researchers are uncovering new ways to trick your tummy so you eat less at meals.Nutrition scientists at Pennsylvania State University have shown that people who eat a broth-based bowl of vegetable soup, a large, low-calorie, lettuce-based salad or an apple before a meal consume about 130 to 190 fewer calories at the meal, including the calories in that first course.
They also have shown that people can feel full on fewer calories if fiber-rich vegetables (broccoli, spinach, carrots) and fruits (berries, peaches) are added to standard recipes and menu plans. This means the entrees contain fewer calories per bite, which is called lowering the energy density of the dish.
PHOTOS: Weight-Loss Challenge success stories
Now, the researchers have found that people significantly reduce their calorie intake at a meal if both the portion size and calories-per-bite in the entree are reduced by as little as 25%.
Penn State researchers provided 46 women with lunch for four days. The participants, mostly young women at a healthy weight, ate a large salad with low-calorie dressing (the salad had only about 100 calories) about 20 minutes before they were served a pasta dish. They could eat as much of the entree as they wanted.
Researchers varied the the energy density (the number of calories per bite) by incorporating more vegetables into the pasta dish. The women were also served one standard portion and another that was 25% smaller.
According to findings, presented today at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society in San Antonio, the women consumed:
-- 153 fewer calories at the meal when the calories-per-bite were 25% lower.
-- 40 fewer calories when the portions were 25% smaller.
-- 187 fewer calories when both the calories-per-bite (energy density) and portion sizes were reduced by 25% in one meal.
Participants did not rate their feelings of hunger or fullness any differently when the portion size and the calories-per-bite were reduced.
"The take-home message is you need to watch what you are eating over the whole meal, especially the entree, because that is where you get most of your calories," says Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutritional sciences and author of The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet. "Putting more vegetables into the entree is a win-win situation, because you are eating more vegetables and you are cutting the energy density so you end up eating fewer calories overall."
Managing portion size as well is important, says Rachel Williams, the Penn State doctoral student who presented the study. If you don't serve yourself a large portion, you're going to be less likely to eat as much at the meal, especially if you are serving yourself an entree packed with vegetables, she says.
Although there were no men in the study, the results probably apply to men, too, Rolls says.
In practical terms, this means:
-- Add vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, carrots, peppers and onions to lasagna, casseroles, pasta dishes and pizza to lower the calories in each bite.
-- Increase the proportion of vegetables in stir-fry dishes, broth-based soups and stews.
-- Add extra vegetables to sandwiches.
-- Sneak purees and chopped vegetables into tomato-based dishes, where they are hidden by the strong flavor and bold color of the sauce. Cook frozen or fresh white vegetables (such as cauliflower, parsnips, onions), orange vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, winter squash) or green ones (broccoli, spinach), and then puree or chop and add to the sauce.
-- Substitute vegetable or fruit purees for half or even two-thirds of the added fat in quick breads and muffins.

Did You Happen to Leave Your 8,000-Pound Marijuana Stash Floating in the Pacific Ocean?
180 bales of marijuana were found floating in the waters near Dana Point, California, this past Sunday, stumping Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, and local authorities looking to identify their source.
All told, some 8,000 pounds of marijuana was recovered by Harbor Patrol ships and a Coast Guard cutter in the Pacific Ocean, 15 miles off Dana Point Harbor.
"At other events, they've dumped the bales to get rid of weight if they're being chased," said Border Patrol spokesman Michael Jimenez referring to drug runners. "Generally in these cases we're aware they're being dumped. What's more unusual is that the bales were floating with no boat in sight."
Jerry Conlin, a second Border Patrol spokesman, said the agency estimated the street value of the floating dope at over $4 million.

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Supreme Court has disbarred an attorney for her role in a kickback scheme that cost the U.S. Navy approximately $18 million, The Associated Press reported last week.
The court announced that it was revoking Mary O'Rourke's ability to practice law. According to the AP, O'Rourke pleaded guilty in May to theft of government property. She is a former employee of the now-defunct Navy contractor Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow.
Prosecutors said O'Rourke's boyfriend, a former Naval employee named Ralph Mariano, steered contracts to the company in exchange for kickbacks.
Prosecutors have said O'Rourke was a minor participant in the scheme. Her sentencing is scheduled for September, the AP said. •

Faneuil Hall hosts street theater festival
Faneuil Hall Marketplace kicked off its inaugural street theater festival on Saturday, Oct. 20. The two-day event ends Sunday. While the cobblestone alleys may see street performers plying their trade regularly, this was the first time a formal event was held. Performers from Boston and beyond wowed audiences, some who came specifically for a show, many who just stumbled into the crowd. Next
"It's the only thing I've done since I was 17 years old," said Millar, who travels across the country, and world, to juggle knives, balls and a chainsaw, among other things. Some people get the wrong idea of street performers, Millar said. "We're not bums, not breakdancers." Next
Millar stood atop a pole, which played a key role in his act, during a mid-afternoon performance. He enjoyed the event. "Some of the street theater festivals I've been to all over the world are the best moments of my career," he said. Next
Eight performers took to two areas on the Fanueil Hall property to show off their acts. Another was The Jim Show. Jim, 42, of Somerville—he only goes by one name—has been a street performer for 20 years. Next
In addition to juggling balls and bowling pins, Jim also has mastered the art of balancing himself on an unsecured board, which in turn is held up by a metal cylinder. Next
Jim, shown here doing his balancing act, does street and private performances. Street performances make up about 20 percent of his schedule now, Jim said, but he still enjoys them. "It's [about] the magic of entertaining people who didn't think they'd be entertained," he said. Next
Jim, shown here balancing himself while juggling bowling pins, keeps his routine simple, compared to other performers. "It's not knives or chainsaws, but it's more than you can do," he quipped. Next
Street performers have to get in as much work as they can when the weather is good, Jim said, noting New England street performers generally have a seven-month season. "You have to work really hard when it's good," he said. Next
Jim, pleased with the reaction of his audience, cracked a smile toward the end of his show. Next
Cambridge-based Daniel Forlano was another of the street performers taking part. He had a couple tricks up his sleeve, including a successful attempt to drop a ball, from about 10 feet up on a ladder, into a water-filled cup on the ground. Next
Forlano addressed the audience. Next
Forlano spun the pillow atop his flowers. Next
With volunteers holding up the rope, Cox made sure the "rope" was strong enough for his liking. Next
Cox, 37, has been a street performer for 10 years. He also acts. The idea for his bit "just came to me; I thought of it driving down the road." He's refined the task over the past 15 years, adding in some knife juggling along the way. Next
Street theater festivals like the one here are common elsewhere in the world, Cox said. "Most people [in the US] see us as beggars," he said. Next
Performer "Kilted Colin" is 25-year-old Colin Campbell, a Marshfield native. His main calling card: Performing bagpipes while riding a unicycle. "I thought bagpipes and unicycling went together like bread and butter," he said. Next
Campbell flipped his hat off, and kicked it back onto his head. Next
Here, Campbell balanced a unicycle on his chin. Next
Campbell climbed to the top of the unicycle, with assistance from audience members. Next
Campbell prepared for his ultimate trick: playing bagpipes and juggling knives while atop his unicycle. Other performers have "crazy finales; I figured I had to up the stakes," he said. Next
The knife-juggling? It won the crowd over and sent Campbell home a happy man. Back to the beginning

So, this idea did came up about a month ago (viewtopic.php?t=3021), and got generally positive feedback, but I think it partly got lost down in the "Misc" section of the forum.
I'm re-breaching the topic here, because I also think Adagio might consider establishing this idea as another part of their services (I.e TeaChat, TeaChef... TeaWiki... or whatever).
Although the basic idea is to have a wiki focused on tea, what I'd actually like to see would take the information a step further -- such that pages for types of tea would talk about its origin and how it's harvested, but also have information such as:
1. Recommended preparation temps/times, # of infusions, etc.
2. Reviews from people
Right now, all of this information sort of exists on TeaChat, but it's really spread around the place. Additionally, people are often asking for recommendations on preparations... this would provide a ready source.
The search engine is only moderately useful as it stands. You can search for something like "dragonwell" but the results are so overwhelming, mostly because so many topics will appear from the TeaDay posts, where somebody is drinking (or mentions) the tea you searched for... but no additional useful information. You may eventually find what you're looking for, but you'll spend a lot of time looking for it. The wiki things would help put all the information in one place, organized by tea 'family' or whatever term you want to use. You also avoid the problem of searching for "dragonwell" but missing the post that talks about it saying "long jing" or "lung chang" or any other variations in phonetics.
Best yet, the users of TeaChat and customers of Adagio provide the content.
If there's any concern about vandalism or intentional misinformation, wikis can easily be set up to only be accessible from established users.
And should disagreements arise (for example on water temperature), the wiki format is flexible enough to allow for multiple viewpoints and letting the reader decide what advice to follow. I think most of us would understand that recommendations and reviews are highly based on opinion anyway (and even the quality of the tea).
So... I've rambled on long enough. Thoughts?
Tea info repository -- wiki-like
Let us know if you've found the perfect product for Adagio to sell.

At a bustling polling station in the Lahore district where Imran Khan is seeking a parliament seat, the attitudes of Pakistani voters reflected the intensity of the contest between the former cricket star and former two-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Khan had ignited a passionate following among the country's youth as he campaigned for a "New Pakistan" and hoped to re-draw the electoral map. Nearly 40 million new young voters were added to the rolls this election.
First-time voter Bilal Ahmed, 22, sports a T-shirt that reads, "Love, Respect, Support for Imran Khan," whose PTI party symbol on the ballot was a cricket bat.
"Imran Khan is saying that we will stand as a nation, whereas the other parties are still considering [taking] loans," he says. "We don't need loans. We want to stand by ourselves, we will support ourselves, we will rise as one nation. … We don't need loans; we need jobs. We need industry in our country. We don't want to be begging around the world. We don't want that. We want to be one nation that stands by itself."
Ahmed's mother, Adeeba Kauser, 48, voted with him. Women overflowed at this polling station and were animated talking about the social ills of the country, an indication that political awareness is gaining strength among Pakistani women. Kauser said she also voted for Khan "because Pakistan needs change."
"We want an overhauling of the system. The prevailing system is not acceptable to us," she said.
"There are so many issues that the [outgoing] government did not pay attention to, for example, the economy and law and order."
But there were plenty of Sharif supporters who said they wanted tested leadership, not new faces.
Hina Shazadi, 23, cast her ballot for Sharif, who is affectionately known to supporters as the "Lion" (even though his Pakistan Muslim League-N party's symbol is a tiger). Shazadi says he and his brother, Shabaz Sharif, who served as Punjab chief minister, improved basic everyday services.
"I voted for Nawaz Sharif because he has practically done a lot of things for us," she says. "His brother has also done a lot of things for us. Prior to his arrival in Punjab, efficient emergency rooms did not exist at all, but he provided a lot of facilities to the hospitals. Emergency rooms were more effective, and he extended a lot of help to those who could not afford. … In the same way [he] has extended a lot in the field of transportation. We no longer have to pay for private buses."
Raheel Butt, a 38-year-old business administrator, says Sharif is a "must" for Pakistan, capable of attracting more business to the country's failing economy.
"Many of the industries in Pakistan which are closed now want to sell these industries," he says. "But they have told me if Sharif comes to power, we will not sell these industries."
Mohammad Nadeem, a 38-year-old dentist, says he is prepared to leave the country if Khan does not make a substantial showing. He calls Sharif's infrastructure projects, like the much touted motorway between Lahore and Islamabad, "monument-building."
"We need the character building of the nation, not only the road building. So I think [Khan] is the only leader who has something in his bag to show us," he says. "He's not involved in business interests. … All others have business interests, so they are protecting their businesses actually, not ruling. … They don't have any vision. I feel if Imran is there, hopefully we will accelerate. … People are very optimistic."
He says he feels had by the traditional parties, including Sharif's PML-N.
"I had been optimistic for the last 15 years and I was a fool actually. I wasted 15 precious years of my life waiting for things to get better. They are not better at all. They have gotten worse," he says. "Why would I vote for them?"

|Posted by Dale's Plumbing Service LMP on February 16, 19100 at 20:55:01:
|In response to Re: Vent pipes
: What is meant when I hear plumbers talk about the vent takeoff needing to be 6" above the flood rim of the fixture being vented? I must be missing something crucial in the concept because it doesn't seem like this is ever the case. Isn't the vent takeoff at the san-t, which is in the wall just above the trap? Thank you very much to anyone who can explain what I am not understanding.
Jeff. What they mean is the vent being vertical after the san tee, may have to turn and go horizontal. At that point the horizontial vent must be a mim 6" above above the flood level rim of the fixture it is venting. A kit sink is 36" off the floor so the horizontial vent must be at least 42" off the floor. Now you can measure the toilet (17") lav, (30") shower dam,(3") tub (14") and add 6" to each one. But to make life simple for all involved most plumbers just make all the horizontal vents 42" off the floor. Hope this helps. Dale's Plumbing Service LMP

Calvin and Hobbes: Math Is a Religion
Some good clean humor to start the day, direct from one of my favorite comic strips via a tweetmeme.
For those who can't easily read the word bubbles, a transcript:
First frame
Calvin: You know, I don't think math is a science. I think it's a religion.
Hobbes: A religion?
Second frame
Calvin: Yeah. All these equations are like miracles. You take two numbers and when you add them, they magically become one new number! No one can say how it happens. You either believe it or you don't.
Third frame
Calvin: This whole book is full of things that have to be accepted on faith! It's a religion!
Fourth frame
Hobbes: And in the public schools no less. Call a lawyer.
Calvin: As a math atheist, I should be excused from this.

No love for Trapeze?
It looks like it'll be quite an eccentric series
Railgun will be great, Misaka and Shirai are <3
New season of Arashi will be great if it's anything like season 1.
Kimi no Todoke and Sasameki Koto look good to me as well.
I haven't been into downloading anime long enough, so with Fairy Tail appearing in the season anime listing does this mean that it'll be a short series? Or is there a possibility it turns into a long running one like the top 3?
I hope Fairy Tail won't turn out to be one of fillerfull series. I mean if this were to happen I would blow something up this time....
So what that you can see the dark inside of me?
"All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long"
My manga list
darker than black XD!!!
kimi no todoke is a must too imo, it does well on tankobon rankings, and it`s a pretty cute story.
the title armed libarians sounds lame, but the description isn`t so bad, and the characters look pretty cool, so i`ll decide after the 1st ep.
letter bee i`ll also decide after the 1st ep - since ive heard the manga`s decent
romance of the three kingdoms ill prob watch when i`m bored, for the sake of knowing the famous story. - since koutetsu sangokushi was...hmmm... not too helpful. =P

unique design, but disappointed
"I was very excited about these sandals, because of the unique design and the vibrant colors that seemed perfect for summer. The fit was fine, heel seemed stable. However, I ended up returning it. I think it's just a personal experience, but the quality of the shoe wasn't so great when I received it. It seemed like the shoes weren't even sewed properly. Maybe I got the defected pair."

Love these shoes!!
"I love these shoes!! They are super cool, sexy and different! They are super comfortable too! They've got a good cushion insole. They are a little heavy but very solid with that great block heel. I have gotten soooo many compliments on these shoes the two times I've worn them. They look great with dresses and pants."

"I love these shoes. It has comfort, stability and style - the perfect summer sandal. The clear strap shows off the endearingly botched pedicure your boyfriend insisted on giving you. The ankle strap keeps the shoe from flying off your foot while executing a celebratory high kick after nailing a hilarious bit. Comfortable enough for light jogging in cases of emergency, like when you're late for that play because you mistakenly parked half a mile from the theater, or you want to do another hilarious bit in which you make people think you're being chased by a strange man (who is really just your boyfriend trying to keep up with you on your way to the theater). It's basically an all-around awesome pair of shoes."

I am a public school teacher who is now extremely excited about vouchers. I have taught for 30 years in the state of Utah at a salary lower than most teachers in the nation. Now I can start my own private schools and more than double my salary in a single year for each private school I start.
It's going to be easy to start a private school. The only requirements I must meet are to: 1. teach 40 students (easy, I now teach 180 students) 2. give a standardized test once a year (easy, I now give more than a dozen tests) 3. be audited once every four years (easy, I am accountable every year for every penny I now spend in my six science classes) 4. be college educated and or skilled (I'm better than that I'm licensed to teach and have 30 years experience).
In my private school the legislature is going to allow me to teach anything I want. I don't have to follow the state core, and I don't even have to teach a certain number of days or hours. I can see a lot of niches that need to be filled to help our student population, so I may want to start a chain of specialty schools. A private school for gay students, where they felt safe and respected, could be set up in every community. Specialized science schools emphasizing evolution and dedicated to the worship of Darwin would help students value their place in the world and universe. In Southern Utah, schools teaching the precepts of polygamy would be popular. The possibilities are endless. All this at taxpayer expense.

Loved these
"I had these in hounds tooth. They fit great, were super comfy, and were very cute! Could pull a bit on the material if you weren't careful. But I really liked them. Unfortunately they were in storage for the season when hurricane Sandy hit and ruined them with nasty flood water. If that style were still available, I'd totally get them again :/"

"I just got these boots Saturday and i love them theyre so cute and comfortable and warm but i followed other reviews and ordered a size up from what i normally wear which is a 5-5.5 well theyre a bit snug at a 6 so i had to exchange them for a size 7 so ii would go up a size and a half if you like to wear socks if not a half to a whole size would be perfectly fine."

Getting good marks in school means money in the bank for Emery High School student Aaron Ison. He won the regional drawing for a $150 scholarship savings account from Zions Bank's Pays for A's Program. He was pulled out of his home room class to receive the surprise news about the scholarship from Zions Bank's Huntington branch manager Ed Christianson on March 19.
Open to all Utah and Idaho teenage students in middle school, junior high or high school, Zions Pays for A's now offers cash incentives for good grades. Teen students simply take their most current report cards from the current academic year into any Zions Bank location. They'll receive $1 per "A" deposited into their Teengreen savings accounts, or 50 cents per "A" if they opt for cash. Plus, students can enter a drawing for scholarship money when they receive one contest entry form for each of their "A's."
Earlier this year, Ison brought his report card with at least one "A" grade into Zions Bank's Huntington branch. His name was selected randomly in a drawing among entrants throughout the Carbon-Emery region.
Students then have until July 2 to submit all of their report cards from the current 2006-2007 school year and enter the statewide drawing for the grand prize $1,000. Students need not be customers of Zions to participate. More information and full contest details are available online at www.zionsbank.com/pays4as.
"We at Zions Bank are thrilled to now offer cash rewards to teens with 'As.' It's a great way for us to recognize students like Aaron who excel in their studies," said Ed Christianson, manager of Zions Bank's Huntington branch. "As the state's oldest community bank, Zions is proud to partner with teachers and parents in supporting teens who do their very best in school."

Good improvement over the Shure Flagship
Pros: Nice bass, very smooth vocals, and large soundstage
Cons: Trebble could be more extended. Separation more or less good depending on tracks. Sound sometimes a bit veiled.
If you are a fan of the Shure sound and have a broken pair of Shure SE530, or would like to try custom IEM but stay with a familiar sound signature and not spend 1000$ right away, the SE530x6 is the way to go. I am having a hard time finding anything wrong with them as I do not have better customs, but they challenge the best headphones I have (ATH ES10). These IEMs are quite easy to drive, and will sound very nice straight out of a Cowon player (though they sound better out of my iBasso DX100). Besides, if you have them reshelled by UM (which I totally recommend), you will be guaranteed awesome craftsmanship, great service (with Stephen Guo). ...(read more)

|In response to Re: How strong a smell of gas for the house to blow?
: In the morning when I come downstairs I very occasionally smell a faint natural gas smell by the cold air return of my furnace. I the smell has now become stronger in my garage where to furnace is. If the smell keeps getting stronger I may have to actually shut off my gas valve.
: I seems like the smell appears on mornings that are a little colder than usual and not at all on average or warmer than average mornings.
: Ok, I live in Southern California and so the furnace is not always required so I now leave the gas valve turned off adn only occasionally open it to use the furnace to warm up my house. The smell has never appeared while the furnace is under heavy use. I have only smelled gas when the valve is open, the theromstat is set to off inside the house and it is chilly in the garage.
: I am off next week and plan to 1) do a quick check to see if I can find and stop the leak (soap test) and then if not luck 2) call a pro.
: My questions are:
: 1) Based on the symptoms does anyone know what the problem is?
: 2) Any tips for my quick self test/fix effort
: 3) What is an appropriate path for a pro to follow .. about how much should it cost
: Thanks Much,
: James Craig
: PS: When I was young my best friend was a brick layer's son in New Carrolton Md named Terry Love.

Gorgeous boots!
"I got these boots in black and they are much more dressy then the images show. The fabric on the heel is GOLD metallic and black . Very classy looking. These will really get compliments when worn with that basic little black dress!"

Fits to size!
"These shoes fit to size. I wear a size 7, but I have pretty narrow feet. The warning from the previous review made me a bit skeptical of getting the 7 at first, but I'm happy I did. These booties are so unique and very stylish! I can walk and dance in them for days because of the wedge heel. I always get double takes when I wear them. Don't hesitate. Purchase these bad boys!"

So disappointed!
"I love the look of these boots (Got the black) and I was so excited about getting them. But when I tried them on they hurt like crazy in front where the boot ends on my ankle. I can't walk without them digging on me. I'm really sorry to have to return these. Maybe they work for someone with thinner legs/ankles."

Woman Falls into Tiny Space During Smoke Break
Portland Fire Bureau firefighters rescued a woman Wednesday morning four hours after she somehow got wedged between two buildings.
The incident began about 3:45 a.m. when a woman was seen on a second-story area, a witness said, and ended about 7:30 a.m. when she was pulled through an opening cut in a wall.
The woman was taken to Oregon Health and Science University where she was listed in fair condition.
Lt. Rich Chatman, who spoke directly with the victim as she neared freedom, said she was cold "and she wanted to get out" but was otherwise in good spirits. "A real trooper," Chapman said. She was stuck in a space about eight inches across.
"We just assured her that we were doing everything that we could to get her out and we were going to get her out as soon as possible," he said, "We weren't going home without her."
Firefighters first tried a rope rescue, then decided to cut through the wall of a parking garage to free her.
The woman was alert, agitated but did not appear to be seriously injured. She was talking with rescue crews as they sawed through concrete block walls for several hours.

Biggest-Ever Youth Gathering on Climate Change to Call for Real Action in Copenhagen
Daejeon (Republic of Korea)/Nairobi (Kenya), 20 July 2009 - Emerging leaders representing three billion people - the children and youth of the planet - will converge on the Republic of Korea to voice their demands for action on climate change at the Copenhagen meeting.
The Tunza International Children and Youth Conference, in Daejeon (Republic of Korea) on 17-23 August, will be the biggest youth gathering on climate change before the UN climate conference in December.
This will be a key opportunity for the more than 800 participants from over 100 countries to demand that their governments reach a scientifically-credible and far-reaching new climate agreement in Copenhagen.
By staking their claim to a low-carbon, resource-efficient, environmentally-sustainable future, the generation that will inherit the planet will also remind the world that they have the greatest stake in the creation of the green economy of tomorrow.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: "The Tunza Children and Youth Conference is an important gathering of young people and an opportunity for them to discuss and to prepare their positions surrounding Copenhagen and climate change, but it is more than that. It is a gathering of the generation that will inherit the outcome of the decisions taken in December and beyond."
"For it will be in the lifetime of the three billion children and young people alive today that the glaciers of the Himalayas will either persist or melt away; that the sea levels will stabilize or rise, swamping a third of Africa's coastal infrastructure; that the Amazon will remain the lungs of the planet or become an increasingly dried-out and disappearing ecosystem, and the polar bear will continue as the iconic species of the Arctic or, like the Dodo and the dinosaurs, merely an artifact in the world's natural history museums," he added.
Some Highlights of the Tunza Children and Youth Conference:
. A Global Town Hall will use state-of-the-art technology to link the gathering to hundreds of other young environmental leaders who will be meeting around the globe - from Nairobi to Sao Paulo and from Stockholm to Bangkok - to agree on a message to deliver to world leaders.
. The Seal the Deal! Global Debate will bring together high-level figures from politics and green activism, including Korean Prime Minister Han Seung-soo, Maldives Environment Minister Mohamed Aslam, Cameroon Environment Minister Hele Pierre, UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner and prominent environmentalists such as David de Rothschild (who will sail to the Pacific Garbage Patch in a boat made of reclaimed plastic bottles), Roz Savage (who has rowed across the ocean to raise green awareness), and Luo Hong (who raises green awareness through photography) along with young activists.
. The Daejeon conference will also see the launch of Unite for Climate , a global community of youth organizations and individuals working collaboratively to address climate change. The initiative convenes actors from across sectors in a common virtual space, enabling more effective resource sharing and coordinated action. Supported by Google/YouTube, Unite for Climate will launch a series of YouTube global youth debates leading up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Learn more at http://www.uniteforclimate.org.
. The conference will also feature the global Awards Ceremony for the winners of the UNEP 2009 International Children's Painting Competition on the Environment .
The participants were selected from thousands of applicants based on their outstanding green achievements on their home turf - and the impressive range of initiatives illustrate just how much today's children and youth understand and want to commit to the environment.
Some of the striking and creative projects started by young Tunza participants include an award-winning original rap video by two Canadian teenagers on how to reduce your environmental footprint, a drive to distribute 500 low-energy lightbulbs in Nepal, a carpooling initiative in Samoa, the creation of a 'Navajo Green Economy Fund' to generate green jobs for Navajo youth, a recycling project in Sierra Leone and a river clean-up in Russia, among many other examples. All the initiatives will be put to a popular vote during the conference to determine the best one out of the several hundred on display.
The participants will also take part in a host of activities from the practical to the far-reaching, from making natural soap to sharing ideas on how to mobilize mass youth action for the environment. Through workshops on key issues including water, sustainable lifestyles and endangered species, they will have a chance to debate, discuss and share tips on how to make the world a greener place and take charge of their environmental future. Other activities in the packed weeklong schedule include sessions on green jobs, a workshop on making a solar energy car, the painting of a mural and a concert of instruments made from recycled material, among many others.
The Children and Youth Conference is part of the global UN-wide 'Seal the Deal!' campaign being spearheaded by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to galvanize political will and public support for reaching a comprehensive global climate agreement. Over the coming months, the 'Seal the Deal!' campaign will mobilize over one million young people to march across one hundred capitals and deliver to global leaders their declaration of priorities on climate change as agreed at the Tunza Conference.
Notes to Editors:
About the conference
The Tunza International Youth Conference is being hosted by UNEP and the UNEP National Committee for Korea with the support of the Daejeon Metropolitan Government and several UN entities including UNICEF, UNFPA, FAO, WMO, UNESCO and UN/DESA, as well as international youth organizations like the World Organization of the Scout Movement and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and 350 degrees and private sector partners, such as the Bayer corporation, Nickelodeon, the Hyundai-Kia Automotive group and Samsung Engineering.
About the participants
The children and youth taking part in the conference were selected from 3,000 applicants on the basis of their environmental projects and how active they are on green issues. This year's edition is the first time the Children and the Youth are being brought together for the same conference - the 'children' participants are 10-14 years old and the 'youth' participants are 15-24.
About the Town Hall
The Seal the Deal! Global Town Hall will be facilitated by the Washington-based nonprofit Global Voices, which has pioneered the use of technology to convene large-scale deliberations to impact policy making.
About the International Children's Painting Competition
The top winners of the 18th International Children's Painting Competition on the Environment will be announced in Daejeon on 20 August. More than 2.4 million children from around the world took part in the artistic competition about the challenges of climate change and what we can do about it. The competition is organized every year by UNEP, the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE), Bayer and the Nikon Corporation.
About Tunza

The word 'Tunza' means 'to treat with care or affection' in Kiswahili. The Tunza initiative aims to develop activities in the areas of environmental awareness and information exchange on the environment for children and youth. For more information, please visit www.unep.org/Tunza/
