Mediocre Meek. By Geniusofdespair
Anyone who doesn't believe I sometimes know what I am talking about and that I can size up an issue, should read my December 28,2007 post and then read today's article in the Herald. You can also check out this blast from the past. And, this is my best article EVER on Carrie Meek. The Herald missed this one big-time!

Do we really need more info on the Meeks. The only reason he is running is to line his pockets just like his mother did.(when will she be indicted?) . Its about time we get rid of there crooks. He thinks because he is black he has a shot at the election and we have a black president who is also trying to turn us into a welfare state. I grew up in a nation where what you earned you kept. Now I must help support a welfare generation. Kick out all the bums with Meek being the first.

I think it is a giant leap to call either of the Meeks crooks first commentor. I think it is more accurate to say they have had lapses of good judgment that has made me very disappointed in them both and would make me not want to vote for Kendrick for Senator.
- May 15, 2010
Someone should really take a long-term lookback at the Meeks. Who in Miami-Dade have been their benefactors? On what boards have they sat, and for what purpose? Why was Wackenhut one of Kendrick Meek's early sponsors?
Who has benefited from the constant stream of federal assistance, particularly for low-income housing, to South Florida? Who would have benefited from the Poinciana Park project? Was Stackhouse a frontman for someone else? Why does Liberty City seem to be such an attraction for failed social experiments like the Liberty City Charter School? - May 15, 2010
Just goes to show, not every Democrat is good and not every Republican is bad.
It depends on the person. - May 15, 2010
I never believed Kendrick Meek when he said he had no idea how his mother got the new Cadilac and that he "had no idea" his mother was taking money hand over fist from the now indicted Stackhouse scammer.
Now the Herald writes he was trying to get money for Stackhouse too. - May 15, 2010
Just read that great post you wrote in 2007 about Carrie Meek. So that you can connect the dots ... you listed the other officer of Carrie Meek's nonprofit as Lucia Raiford. Lucia Raiford Davis is the daughter of Carrie Meek and sister of Kendrick Meek. She works for Miami-Dade County as the Director of Human Rights and Fair Employment. She makes about $200k/year. If you file a complaint for discrimination with the county, she is in charge of the investigation.

Carrie Meek has evaded public scrutiny over her association with shady characters for too long. Hopefully that will end as the media is willing to/eager to expose it. Kendrick Meek isn't much better, he is just a generation behind on gaming the political system. Still, he is better than a man who made hundreds of millions scamming financial markets on credit default swaps. I prefer the devil I know to the devil I don't know.
- May 16, 2010
Let me see if I understand. Dennis Stackhouse hired Carrie Meek to serve as his lobbyist on the Poinciana Project. The only congressman who delivered money for the project is Carrie's son, Rep. Kendrick Meek. But I am supposed to believe that Kendrick did not know his mother was a lobbyist for Stackhouse and Kendrick never spoke with his mother about the project. Come'on!

Her ascendency to political power almost thirty years ago came directly from the people. Her initial campaign run was unprecedented in the history of the county. She had helped so many people during her long career as an educator that her campaign was like a major convention in the Black community. Her campaign headquarters was packed everyday with hundreds of people wanting to volunteer to work. It was an amazing cross-section of Miami-Dade County. There were welfare mothers, public housing people, her past students, college professors, brothers from the hood, teachers, preachers, administrators, church people, business people, union people, educated, uneducated, white, black, hispanic, rich, poor, fat, skinny, beautiful, ugly. You name it they were there. And she ran and won in one of those huge multi-member districts.
- May 16, 2010
Her ascendancy came directly from the people? What a joke! Carrie Meek was simply a black Democrat who ran for office in districts composed predominantly of black Democrats. Once she won that first State Senate, it was impossible for her to lose. Black voters have a long history of supporting black incumbents regardless of how crooked they are. If you doubt that, just look to Alcee Hastings who was impeached because he was a corrupt federal judge.

First anon. You grew up in the glory days of the 1930s then right?
"kept what you earned" yeah right - if you were a robber baron or titan of industry maybe. Everyone else paid taxes. Used to be the rich paid much more in proportion to their income, but now seeing as that's somehow "unfair" the middle class gets that distinction.
Assuming you aren't 80 years old (and collecting social(ist) security and getting your Dr. bills paid by that terrible Medicaid) then you've lived in the dreaded "welfare state" your whole life. Tax subsidized roads, trains, airports, farming, ranching, energy, medicine, education, and even recreation just to zip off a few. Wake up.
As to Meek - his candidacy is a testament to the weakness of the Democratic party to develop talent that can compete statewide. Besides all of his baggage, he's just not a stellar candidate. I doubt he'll carry his hometown counties in the general with Crist now borrowing Democratic positions in his independent bid. - May 16, 2010

Pussy Riot star Maria Alyokhina has condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for sending armed troops to the troubled Crimea region of the Ukraine, comparing his actions to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
The outspoken punk rocker, who was freed from prison in December after serving time for performing a protest song against Putin, has penned an opinion piece in The New Republic, urging Russian citizens to take a stand against the government in a bid to encourage politicians to do the right thing.
Alyokhina is convinced that if nothing is done to put a stop to the military intervention in Crimea, which has been denounced by political leaders in Europe and the U.S., Putin will be allowed to take control of the former Soviet Union country and quash Ukrainians' calls for political change and alignment with the European Union.
She writes, "Those who have accepted the verdict to live their lives in passive oblivion will repeat history and its mistakes. In this way, standing at the brink of war under banners of a struggle for peace, Russia is repeating 1968."
Slamming Putin and his government's apparent tactics to divide and conquer, Alyokhina adds, "The difference between Russia and a penal colony is that in a penal colony your sentence is decided upon by the state, but in Russia we should decide how long we will live like this. Otherwise, the world will watch as the Kremlin will increasingly resemble a prison watch tower, which, on behalf of the Russian Federation, will issue commands, commands to send in the troops."
The invasion of the former Czechoslovakia occurred months after the Prague Spring, a brief period of political reform during which the nation was led by the liberal Alexander Dubcek, who wanted to democratise the nation.

Steelhead flies
I plan to fly fish for salmon & steelheads this fall in the Grand River, Ohio. What would be a good sub-surface fly to use?
A black rat? A silver doctor? A egg patterns? I'm using a light (5-wt) Orvis spring creek rod, It's the largest line weight rod I got. I have landed 36+" northern pike on this rod with little trouble, it can handle the stress of big fish. Please help me with a pattern list so I can start tying. p.s. I do not want to use the clasic, black salmon hooks. Would a heavy wire streamer hook work as well? Thanks mayflyman
"Somewhere, over the rainbows. I'll cast my fly...." |

The rat, doctor are good flies. The egg pattern implies a certain style of fishing, meaning so-sub surface that you are tapping the bottom with lead weights. For that style of fishing, egg patterns are great. I personally prefer not to fish that way for steelhead.
Are you going to fish the winter run or the summer run (if they have one)? Summer - what are the main bugs the young were keyed into before they descended to the lake? Suggest these. Also choose a range of standard patterns in black, purple, black and purple with bright butts like green, orange or red (freight train, coal car, green butt skunk, etc). These are fished on the swing like atlantic salmon. Winter - what will wake them up from a docile state of mind in the cold water? Marabou flies, bright spiders, bunny strip flies, etc. Also the egg approach mentioned above, which I do not practice. Either - are there sculpins in the river? If so you had better keep some flies that are very animate and suggest sculpins. The key is to appeal to the predatory instincts that are burned into their brains from their life experiences if you want the fish to move aggresively at your fly. My philosophy for steelhead: - presence of fish - conditions - presentation of fly - fly In that order. You control presentation completely, whereas mother nature controls the first two. Ironically, from my experiences in steelheading the fly is less important than the other factors - but all are critical and maynot be ignored to achieve one of the most difficult and rewarding pursuits with a fly. The factors that lead to success in this style of fishing mesh together into one continuum that men have sought after for millenia, starting with atlantic salmon in northern europe and still raging like a flame in the hearts of anglers in the northwest. Some may say I am biased this way, but I say "hook them like a man and draw them to strike at the swung fly!" .02 Juro |

Reid pens two-year deal
Steven Reid has signed a two-year contract extension at West Brom keeping him at the club until the summer of 2014.
Last Updated: 30/04/12 8:54pm
Steven Reid has signed a two-year contract extension at West Brom keeping him at the club until the summer of 2014.
The defender was out of contract at The Hawthorns in the summer, although the club did have the option of keeping him for an extra 12 months.
Roy Hodgson confirmed earlier this month that the club had opened talks with the 31-year-old about extending his stay with the Baggies, having joined from Blackburn in 2010.
The new deal is a reward for the form of Reid, who started 21 Premier League games this season before an ankle injury ended his campaign early.
Sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth said: "We're delighted to have agreed a new contract with Steven.
"He's had a good, solid season and proved he is still more than capable of playing Premier League football.
"He is also a fantastic person to have around the training ground.
"Steven is valued by the club not just because of what he brings to the football field, but also his contribution off it.
"He has an important role to play as we look to establish ourselves as a top-flight club."

Intel Core i3-3130M
The Intel Core i3-3130M is a dual-core processor for laptops based on the Ivy Bridge architecture. Due to Hyperthreading, the two cores can handle up to four threads in parallel leading to better utilization of the CPU. Each core offers a base speed of 2.6 GHz, Turbo Boost is not supported. As its Sandy-Bridge-based predecessors, it offers a 3 MB L3-Cache.
Ivy Bridge is an enhanced die shrink of the Sandy Bridge architecture with improvements on both GPU and CPU performance. The CPUs are produced in 22nm (versus 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs) and are the first to introduce 3D transistors for increased energy efficiency when compared to similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processors. Other new features are integrated PCI Express 3.0 and DDR3(L)-1600 support.
The performance of the Core i3-3130M is slightly above a similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processor due to slight architectural improvements. As a result, overall performance should be about 10-15 % faster compared to the old i3-2370M. Thanks to their Turbo Boost, Core-i5-models like the i5-3210M are significantly faster.
The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 offers 16 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 650 MHz up to 1100 MHz with Turbo Boost. Therefore, the performance should be similar to the AMD Radeon HD 6620G.
Just like most other Ivy Bridge dual-cores, the i3-3130M is rated at a TDP of 35 W. Therefore, even smaller laptops can use the Core i3.

Hobbies and Weddings!
I love it when I can incorporate a couple's hobbies into their wedding cake topper! It makes the topper special to the couple, represents what their hobbies are at the time of their marriage and it makes it unique and one-of-a-kind! This topper is an example of just that! It's one of my most recent wedding cake toppers, and was such fun to create.
He's holding his computer and she has her scuba tank beside her. Beautiful fall color flowers make up her bouquet. Her dress has a beaded design and he's in a classic black tux. Her hair is pulled half way up and curled.
Each is lovingly handmade by me, they are made to be one of a kind toppers and
keepsakes to be enjoyed for years to come. :)

Cutting foam cores - how to improve?
I've cut my first foam cores and the result isn't so impressive. After reading through several threads I guess the problem with the rippled surface of the outer wing is caused by to much heat (?).
- the foam I used is called XPS (feels like the blue Dow stuff) but I had the same result with ordinary polystyrene foam - the thickness of the wire is 0.35mm (0.0014"), maybe I should use 0.5mm (0.02") instead (?) - cutting speed was about 10mm/sec (23.6"/min) Any advice on how to improve the cutting? Thanks. |
I've found that the rippling can be caused by a template that's not perfectly smooth.
The wire catches on a minute lump or divet and stays in that position untill there is enough tension to overcome this little hiccup. the end result is a burnout like you see. Try finishing your templates to be as SMOOOOOOOOOOTH as you can. I use laminex for mine, and rough them to shape, the go down the grades, from 320, to 800, then a little bit of steel wool for a fine polish. See how you go with that. |
I agree totally with Curare's advice about getting the templates absolutely smooth.
Also, I found that I could never get decent results trying to pull the wire through by hand. Even though I thought I was cutting smoothly and evenly I wasn't, and little hesitations and uneven speeds (particularly on the narrow end of a tapered wing) always caused the kind of ridges you show. Ater I changed to a setup that automatically pulls the wire through by means of a system of pulleys and weights, I never once had that problem again - and I've cut hundreds of cores since. Of course, this may not be the cause of your problem, because I suppose some people can get good results by hand, and you may not have been doing it by hand anyway. You do need to experiment with various cutting speeds and wire temperatures. Expect to waste a fair bit of foam before you get it all figured out. Make notes, and change only one thing at a time. Finally, be sure you're using virgin foam. The "recycled" stuff is just about impossible to cut smoothly because it is uneven in texture and contains hard lumps that will do all sorts of bad things. Good luck. Keep trying and you'll get it right pretty quickly. |
Thanks for the photos, your cut at the root or the larger end looks good, the tip has the ripples and I agree it's either caused by a rough template and/or too much heat. The wire is going slower through the smaller chord than the larger chord.
I would make sure your template is very, very smooth. You can run your fingernail at an acute angle across the template to give you a good idea. I also take a felt polishing wheel for my Dremel tool and make one or two passes across the template and it really makes it much smoother. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...ishing%20Wheel What type of template material are you using? Also, if you're hand cutting for very little expense you could build an automated foam cutter, I wrote an extensive article on how to do so, see: www.TailwindGliders.com Happy Holidays Curtis PS My family name originates in Kolliken, what a beautiful country! |
Thanks to all for the valuable information!
I think my templates are ok so far but I'll have to check them again. I've built them from 1.5mm plywood and used graphite from a pencil to make them gliding. I've got to experiment more (better templates, lower temperature, more tension on the wire, thicker wire...) and the automated cutting approach looks promising. Curtis, I've read your article before I opened this thread, nice job! You're right, Switzerland is beautiful but winter gives me a hard time here. The location in this video is about 20 miles from Koelliken (click HD for better quality):
I lived in Germany for six years and it's not quite as bad as Montana, that I recall! We had -34C a few weeks ago! I guess when it hits -17C or more than it just doesn't really matter anymore. Curtis Montana |

I agree with Harry D- I get that ripple effect when the wire speed is not constant. I've never had much success with hand cutting and even with a drop-arm cutter it's possible to wind up with a slack pull-cord at the tip as the wire gets towards the trailing edge.
Rich |
I was able to get a usable clark y core by hand on my third try. The trick for me was steady pressure and making sure that the speed at each end was proportional (and, of course super smooth templates). I put 4 proportional marks on my templates and used them to gauge my speed - helped a little. It also helped me to be able to control the wire temperature. I was using .018 SS wire, iirc.
Those ripples don't look super bad in the picture - you could probably sand them out. Next time I make a core, I'll probably over size the templates by a mm or 2 so I don't need absolutely perfect technique. To make it perfect, you'd need some sort of machine. I'd look into an NC foam cutter as it has other uses beside wing cores. |
Test till you get it right
this is a technique I use and it will work if you heat sync the small end. take a small peace of the hot wire and rap it around the end of the hotwire cutter used at the shorter end "wing tip end" for starters I would try 1 wrap per 3/4" of offset from the heal to tip. from your pic I would guess 4 wraps and do not leave any wire hanging off the sides. test this and add more if its to fast or remove if its to slow the small groves of the 3 or 4 turns of the heat synced wire can be filled in with spray foam if it gets out of hand just cut off the high spots when the foam has cured Hope it helps See ya in the sky! Trout Ps Keep the wire tight If the wing is the same size at each end 2 wraps at each end can work to. just cut off the area with the heat sync ct |

By the way, I don't see anything helpful in yours - unless you count chastising as helpful. |
[QUOTE=jaron;13913125]Thanks to all for the valuable information!
"I think my templates are ok so far but I'll have to check them again. I've built them from 1.5mm plywood and used graphite from a pencil to make them gliding". (Quote) Jaron, It seems that your post above has confirmed the point regarding the templates being not smooth enough. Plywood is not a suitable material in my opinion, due to the difficulty in obtaining a smooth surface such as described in post replies above. As mentioned by "Curare" and others, laminex is good, its time proven, easy to find etc. The very best as per Phil Barnes DVD "Vacuum bagging of foam wings" is paper phenolic, but it costs and is perhaps only justified for multiple uses. This DVD is an excellent investment if you wish to master the art of vac bagging. Stick with it, it will all come together with some practice and a little research. That day when you finally cut your first accurate, unblemished blank core makes it all worthwhile. Jim. |

Reason: Grammar correction
I just finished cutting some supergee cores with 1/16" plywood laser cut templates I bought a few years ago. I soaked the edges with CA and polished them with 500grit sand paper.
I got good results and the wire didn't burn the templates. So plywood can yield good results if properly prepared. Not the material of choice, but if you already made the templates they should work. If your not already using a feather cutter like machine you should really make one as suggested earlier. It can make a big difference over pulling the bow by hand. Keep practising, davidk |

With the 2013 Maryland General Assembly's passage of House Bill 431, Maryland became the 16th state to enact new and revised standards and reporting requirements for insurers and their parents/affiliates that are part of an insurance holding company system (IHCS). While the provisions of House Bill 431 do not become effective until January 1, 2014, Maryland domestic insurers should begin to prepare now for the significant new requirements, in order to avoid the potential of being subject to civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.
The new Maryland IHCS provisions implement many of the changes to the Model Insurance Holding Company Act adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in 2010. These changes are part of the broader Solvency Modernization Initiative of the NAIC intended to update the U.S. solvency regulation framework in light of "lessons learned" from the recent financial crisis as well as developments in both federal and international insurance supervision.
A few of the key provisions of House Bill 431 are set forth below and demonstrate the NAIC's focus on improving regulatory oversight of insurer solvency by (1) strengthening the "walls" around insurers to protect them from potential abuses by affiliates; (2) adding "windows" to the activities of parents/affiliates to allow regulators to be able to assess the "enterprise risk" posed by such activities to insurers; and, (3) assuring adequate corporate governance and internal control practices by insurers.
Strengthening Regulatory "Walls"
Adding Regulatory "Windows"
Assuring Adequate Corporate Governance & Internal Control Practices
New and increased penalties for noncompliance include, among others, Commissioner authority to set aside and rescind affiliate transactions with an insurer that do not conform to standards in the law; assessment of fines up to $10,000 for the first day of violation and up to $1,000 for each additional day of violation (up from $1,000 and $100, respectively) for willful violations of the IHCS requirements; and the authority to impose fines on individual directors, officers, employees or agents of the insurer or the IHCS (such fines must be paid by such persons in their individual capacities) and/or to institute criminal proceedings for willful violations of the requirements.
The revisions to the Insurance Acquisitions Disclosure and Control Act reflect a significant, but only partial implementation of the standards and requirements in the process of adoption by the NAIC as part of its Solvency Modernization Initiative. Now more than ever, insurance companies must remain diligent in updating their regulatory compliance checklists to ensure that they are compliant with the new requirements.
For a more in-depth understanding of the Act's requirements that impact insurer corporate governance as well as other corporate governance initiatives of the NAIC's Solvency Modernization Initiative, please plan to attend the Maryland Insurance Company Corporate Governance Workshop sponsored by Saul Ewing on September 12, 2013.

When defense lawyers in a disability investigation presented pictures from a supposedly injured woman's Facebook profile showing her whitewater rafting, golfing and rock climbing, the judge, unsurprisingly, found that the claimant's description of her pain was at odds with her condition and capacity and she lost the case. It's a scenario that is being played out in the courts more and more often.
Clearly, social media evidence is becoming commonplace in investigations, but methods of accessing and recording the information in a way that's ethical and legal aren't quite so clear. To make matters even more complicated, how you can access information and what information you can use as evidence each has its own set of developing rules. Keeping abreast of these rules as social media case law develops can provide an advantage to a defendant in a lawsuit.
Gathering Evidence
Collecting evidence from social media sites can be challenging for several reasons. Social media is constantly changing, and users can easily update and delete material that could be evidence in a case. In addition, many users have their privacy settings set in such a way that only their friends can see their profile information, which brings up several other issues of legal access and privacy rights.
So far there are relatively few standardized, widely accepted methods for gathering evidence from social media sites, says attorney Benjamin Wright, who is an expert in e-discovery as well as an author and instructor at SANS Institute. "A common approach is for someone to just try to print what they see on their screen onto a piece of paper and show it to the judge or administrator," he says.

Considering a Warrant
"If you are conducting a law enforcement type of action, depending upon the situation, depending upon the expectations of privacy, you may be wise to get a search warrant, or some other kind of court approval for the type of investigation that you are conducting," says Wright. "There is a general recognition – although this is not universal because this is such a brand new field – that if information is publicly available, displayed through what a consumer would normally see through a browser, that some type of investigator has the right to view it and to make some kind of a record of it for purposes of advancing the investigation. That is a general idea that has not been widely tested in courts."
Access and Privacy
Even when information is publicly available, though, there can be legal issues related to its discovery, warns Wright. These can include copyright violations and privacy violations based on statements they may have written on their social media pages.
"So there could be this argument that says there's an element of privacy just based on the words and they way the words are expressed on that privacy page," says Wright. Topics related to violations of privacy and copyright have not been well litigated or even understood, says Wright. "We are in a very brand new world here and there's very little in the way of authoritative guidance on this."
With hundreds of millions of people actively using social media, it can provide a powerful tool in the search for truth. It's important to be proactive in accommodating this innovative evidence and stay abreast of the case law as it develops to ensure every advantage in getting the truth heard.

One of the best-guarded secrets in the consumer world is the existence of the Ombudsman Service which can resolve disputes relating to mobile phones, energy and a range of other areas. And it is ordering companies to take remedial action – whether financial, non-financial or both – in 88 per cent of cases.
More than this, a new system of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is coming into place by July 2015 to cover all consumer disputes. This is the result of an EU Consumer Directive on ADR, which will "allow consumers and traders to solve disputes without going to court, in a quick, low-cost and simple way". So new schemes will have to be set up to cover, for instance, all of the retail sector, the whole of the home maintenance area (including plumbers and electricians), transport and water.
But there could well be a sting in the tail. In many of these areas, it may turn out that the suppliers can pick and choose the ombudsman or other ADR scheme that they want.
Adam Samuel was an ombudsman at the Personal Investment Authority and at the Insurance Ombudsman Bureau (IOB) in the 1990s. He says: "It is better to have something than nothing and an ADR scheme with zero credibility among consumers would be flushed out fairly quickly. However, the reality is that these schemes need customers, by which I mean businesses. This has always led to a risk of the firms leaning on the scheme. We had it all the time at the IOB. That organisation was in competition for members with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators' Personal Insurance Arbitration Scheme. So, in the early days, the IOB was probably far too firm-friendly, a necessary pre-condition to the growth of private-sector Ombudsman schemes."
But consumers seem to be well served at the moment by the two main ombudsman schemes – confusingly known as the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Ombudsman Service. Companies have no choice about whether to join the Financial Ombudsman scheme, and they have to abide by its formal decisions. This is the "only effective form of dispute resolution for consumers", according to Mr Samuel, as the companies involved have no power over the scheme. At the moment it is deciding about half the complaints it rules on in favour of consumers.
The Ombudsman Service deals with a range of areas – surveyors, estate agents, copyright licences as well as the two main ones it handles, energy and communications. Audrey Gallacher, the director of energy at the consumer body Consumer Futures, said: "It provides valuable help to consumers."
Citizens Advice – which deals with 90,000 energy problems a year and 55,000 on communications – recommends the Ombudsman in some cases.
Energy complaints to the Ombudsman were up 33 per cent in 2012-13 to 8,800. Just over 80 per cent of these related to billing. The Ombudsman is currently ordering remedial action – financial, non-financial or both – from energy companies in 93 per cent of cases.
The Ombudsman Service gives various case studies in its annual report. but most are rather technical. It does include a testimonial from one consumer who says: "Had it not been for the Ombudsman, I would never have got the money that was owed to me."
On communications, it ordered remedial action in 85 per cent of the 10,000 disputes it resolved. One case study in the annual report shows a company that increased monthly charges for a consumer from £48 to £203 in the second year of a two-year deal. But because there was no mention of such an increase in the contract the complainant had signed – the "key piece of evidence", in the Ombudsman's words – the company was ordered to maintain the charge at £48.
On communications, however, the Ombudsman Service is not the only ADR-provider. While BT, Vodafone and Tesco, for example, opted to go with the Ombudsman, Virgin and Orange preferred to join the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (Cisas) scheme run by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). There are clear differences between the Ombudsman and Cisas schemes in the way they present themselves to consumers. The Ombudsman scheme is more consumer-friendly with up-to-date annual reports. Cisas appears far more tuned-in to the companies whose complaints it decides rather than consumers. The latest annual report published on its site was for 2010 – although after it was contacted by The Independent, Cisas put up on the site an explanation for the delay – "operational reasons" – and said a report would be available "shortly".
Lewis Shand Smith, the chief ombudsman at the Ombudsman Service, thinks it would be better to have just one scheme in a sector. He says organisations such as his have to be "absolutely rigid" to ensure that they do not let themselves be influenced by the companies whose ADR business they are trying to win. The communications regulator Ofcom has appointed both the Ombudsman and Cisas as approved schemes – and companies can choose between them. "There is always the risk that companies will play one of us off against the other," Mr Shand Smith says. "This is a case in which competition, instead of driving up quality, could drive it down and drive down the independence of schemes."
You only have to look to the audit sector to see that organisations find it difficult to stay independent from a company that they are trying to win business from. With more than a century of experience behind it, the auditing profession has never managed to quell suspicions that many of its members are too soft on companies they audit, because they are appointed by them.
Meanwhile, decisions will need to be made soon if the UK is ready to extend ADR services across the whole of the consumer sector within the next two years. One decision will need to be taken at the highest level: whether to encourage a number of schemes or to consolidate. A campaign has already begun, mainly behind the scenes, to concentrate all ombudsman services into three organisations – the Financial Ombudsman, the Legal Ombudsman and a Consumer Ombudsman.
CEDR offers adjudication schemes – ranging from funeral services to travel redress, the postal system and renewable energy – which operate quite differently to the ombudsman approach. The two sides present their cases and an independent adjudicator gives a ruling at the end. In the Ombudsman schemes, the two sides tell their tales to the Ombudsman, who then marshals the information.
Other issues need to be decided. Should consumers pay for these services? At the moment, the big ones – the Financial Ombudsman, Ombudsman, Postal Redress and Cisas schemes – are all free. And should all companies dealing with the public be forced to sign up? The EU directive envisages that schemes will be available but that, in some areas, companies could decide not to participate. This might be understandable for a plumber with five trusted clients, but it could be exploited by larger businesses.
Whatever approach is adopted, we are all going to hear a lot more about ADR. "It's going to be the future," says Andy Rogers of CEDR.
Case study: all hopes rest on the 'last resort'
Sam (not his real name) got a bill for over £1,200 from Vodafone when he was expecting no bill at all.
He had signed up for a deal that included free internet use. But his work takes him abroad a lot and he was using his mobile in Europe and Bangladesh.
After he made a partial payment and complained about the bill, he found that his phone was cut off within 24 hours. Vodafone told him that the free part of the deal related only to the UK.
Sam was told that he should have been aware of a condition that was explained on the Vodafone site: "As we've mentioned this on our website, we will not be able to waive any charges for you."
Sam found the company's approach "very harsh" and "arrogant". Starting off a complaint at the Ombudsman Service has been "easy" and has given him some hope, although it does not look as if there will be much news on his case for at least three months.
He is keeping his fingers crossed. Although he says "I feel I have a very strong case", he knows that it would be impractical to pursue his complaint in court.
He explains: "The ombudsman is the last resort as far as a formal recourse is concerned."
On paper, he seems to have a good chance. In six out of seven cases on communications issues, the ombudsman orders the telecom firms to take some remedial action.

Legoland was cool. I didn't know what to expect. All I had to go on was childhood memories of theme parks and state fairs. Of getting sick, hungy, hot, tired and everybody being a bit on the cranky side. This trip was healing in that I found that with a little self control, I could enjoy myself, eat well and be a good dad. One thing I made a point of was not making plans set in stone. We would do what we could but not stress ourselves out trying to get to a show or a ride. The plan worked and halfway through the day, I realized I was enjoying the place, and I was able to relax and watch my kid grow up.
Project X, the kid's first roller coaster might have proved to be too much. The big drop freaked him out and he was done with roller coasters. I had to pay him $10 to get him on another one, and by the end of day two, we had ridden every roller coaster in the park.
I just wanted to get off. It was the end of the day, and the operator kept the ride going extra long. I wasn't really having fun any more.....
We bought second day tickets for $15 which was awesome, because we got to go back a do a couple of rides that we had not been able to do, and ride some rides again, hitting the favorites from the day before.
And we were there for the grand opening of the Star Wars mini land exhibit.
And then it was time to leave. We were worn out, and still had to drive back through Orlando to Ormond Beach. But we wanted to get there so we could go to the beach before the wedding.

PIR's plan to repave not popular with some drivers
February 27, 2011, The Associated Press, NASCAR.com
AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Phoenix International Raceway will undergo a transformation almost as soon as the checkered drops on this weekend's Sprint Cup race, a repaving and reconfiguration project scheduled to be completed before NASCAR returns in the fall. The track needs it. The last repaving was 20 years ago and the current set up doesn't always make for easy passing. Necessity doesn't mean everyone's going to like it, though. Quirky and cracky, Phoenix is fine the way it is for many drivers and crews -- especially after one track record after another fell in qualifying this weekend. "I'm a little disappointed even though it probably has to be done," said Steve Letarte, crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr. "I'm a race fan, and it's just an amazing race track. The two different ends make the racing good and the old, worn-out pavement makes it look like the tracks we grew up running on. I know repaves are necessary, but I think they are a necessary evil. "I'm a real big fan of old, bumpy, worn-out surfaces." Built nearly 50 years ago, the 1-mile oval is one of the more unique tracks on the circuit, with vastly different types of turns at opposite ends and asphalt that's developed all kinds of bumps and cracks since the last repave. The better drivers like those quirks and for the track to be somewhat slick, since it puts a premium on driving and setups. The added grip from new asphalt will even the playing field a little, and allow drivers and crews a little more room for error while still running fast. "Definitely disappointed that they needed to resurface the track," said five-time defending Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, who's won four times at Phoenix. "I understand that at some point all tracks need it and they are at that point. We love the tracks that are worn out and on the verge of needing to be resurfaced. I think we put on our best races there." Of course, repaving along with stretching the dogleg out and adding variable banking -- among other changes -- will make Phoenix completely different when teams return in November. "It's going to change the whole outlook when we come back here for a Chase race with two to go in the fall," Kurt Busch said. "It's going to be a roll of the dice and I think it's smart on NASCAR's part to shake up the Chase a little bit with a new race track." Carl Edwards set a track record on the last go-round at Phoenix qualifying, hitting 137.279 mph on a day in which 15 drivers eclipsed the record he set last fall. Track records also we set in qualifying for the Truck and Nationwide races.

wikiHow to Bury Valuables to Keep Them Safe
What should you do to keep your valuables safe? Put it in a bank? safe deposit box? No and No. You can do what the pirates did and bury it.
1Pick your spot. You must pick a burial ground that leaves you a window of time alone and out of sight in which you will bury your package. This window of time must be no less than an hour (longer if the package is large), and occurring at least once a week. The reason being that if you get into a bind and need to retrieve the package ASAP, you don't want to have to wait around for a month until you can dig it up unseen. Tips for picking a spot include:
- Make sure your spot isn't scheduled for construction or anything that might cause it to be built upon, dug into, or otherwise obstructed from your ever getting to it. A few examples of badly chosen terrain might be: an empty lot, a spot near a water main, a spot close to a public road or a playground/school.
- The spot must have ground that is easy enough to dig with a shovel. You don't want to be spending all night digging, and the use of large digging machines isn't conducive to secrecy.
- The spot must be easily found again without the use of a map. You should be able to find the spot in the darkness and completely by memory. Also, should the situation arise where you need to verbally convey to someone where your package is so that they might retrieve it (i.e. through a pane of plexiglass at a police station), you'll need to be quick and precise in your description.
- Don't pick a spot where your package might be moved by natural forces. A beach might not be the best idea as sand is moved to and fro on a daily basis. The same thing goes for a swamp. (Although you don't have to worry about moisture because your package will be more than watertight, as you'll read below)
- Don't pick an obvious spot. If somebody is searching for your package they should not be able to find it in your backyard. Pick a spot that has no ties to you or your family, friends, accomplices, etc.
2Construct your package. Your package must meet three requirements: a) Watertight, b) Structurally sound, and c) as compact as possible.
3D)Do Not use anything metal,such as screws or a metal product as metal detectors/ hobbyist may find. The following steps will show you how to create your package:
- First, take your object and put it into a heavy duty garbage bag. Use duct or packaging tape to completely cover the package two times over. This is the first step to ensure water tightness.
- Repeat three times for a total of four garbage bag/tape jobs. Your package is now watertight.
- Measure your now watertight package and construct a wooden box using wood panels one inches thick. Make certain your package will fit snugly inside of the box, so as to avoid creating a box bigger than necessary.
- Insert your package into the wooden box and repeat the garbage bag/tape job two times for good measure. You now have a watertight, structurally solid package that will last many years under the earth.
4Bury your package. During your window of burying opportunity, sneak to your pre-chosen destination and dig. Dig fast and dig true; don't dig the hole any wider than is required, as you will be wasting time and energy.
- For maximum security, it is recommended that you bury your package no less than 2 1/2 - 3 feet deep. It will take more time and effort, but your peace of mind over the years to come will be well worth it.
- Once your hole has been dug, place your package into it and cover it with a layer of good-size rocks.
- Spray the pepper spray or mace into the hole. This will deter any animals from potentially smelling something interesting and digging up your package.
- In thirds, fill the hole with dirt, step into it and compress the dirt with your feet (so as to avoid a sinkhole in the following weeks), and use the pepper/mace spray. Repeat until the hole is full.
5Disguise the spot. Dig up a nearby shrub and plant it on your spot, cover it with a rock, or plant some grass, anything to make it look like someone hadn't just been digging there.
6Don't touch it. Leave your package alone until you are ready to retrieve it. Don't check on it, don't poke at it. View it from afar if you have to, but don't go near it. If for some reason you do need to dig it up, don't put it back in the same spot. You've taken a big enough chance getting it into the ground the first time. Another attempt doubles your chances of detection.
7Keep quiet. Nobody is going to be impressed with the fact that you buried something, so don't show off. Unless it is imperative that someone else knows about your secret, keep it that way: a secret.

- Handle Mace/Pepper spray with extreme caution! This stuff is intended to ward off more than just nosy animals (purse snatchers, burglars, etc)
- It is important to realize that unless you are burying gold or some other commodity, your buried money will decrease in value over time. Inflation as well as the time-value of money will lower the value of your cash over time. That said, unless you really, really need to distance yourself from this cash, invest it and earn a return on your capital.
Things You'll Need
- Heavy duty garbage bags
- Duct or packaging tape
- 1' thick plywood & nails
- Shovel
- Mace or pepper spray

In today's frenetic war zone of DJs and producers and ghost-producers and managers and publicists and every other person clinging on to the EDM machine, it's pretty damn difficult to get noticed. For Astronomar, his brash and aggressive club music demands the respect it deserves. Back in a big, bad way is his 4 track Mutant Club EP, which dropped today on the Main Course imprint. Aside from releasing tracks on esteemed outfits like BNR & OWSLA, he's been running the Main Course label with good pals Neoteric and Bot, who is featured on 'Drama' (my favorite from the package). Devoid of cheese, you'll find drums thicker than redwoods and sound designs more manic than mental wards. And for the next month, all tracks are available for free download, so get to clicking.

Two Texas real estate vets see an opportunity in Lone Star state commercial property and are launching the $150 million State of Texas Real Estate Fund to take advantage of it.
STXRE managing directors Mark Jordan and Kevin White say their fund will primarily target high quality distressed office, industrial and raw land in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
Jordan, owner of JP Realty Partners and Sooner National Property Management, has completed over $700 million in real estate transactions during his 20 years in the business. White has 14 years' experience in Texas real estate, including six years running KGW Real estate, a commercial real estate firm providing services to commercial tenants and investors.
The new fund intends to benefit from the relatively rapid recovery of the Texas economy, which is growing at a rate of 4% annually—four times as fast as the rest of the country. Asked to explain the Texas recovery, White told FINalternatives "It's all about jobs." The state took the top five spots in a recent Forbes ranking of Best Cities for New Jobs. Houston alone added 260,000 new jobs in 2010.
STXRE will acquire properties that are in distress typically due to low occupancy. The buildings will be leased up and sold within two-to-three years. Its managers characterize STXRE as a "pure capital gain play" with a projected IRR of 20%-22%.
According to the fund web site, STXRE expects to utilize 50% to 70% debt in addition to equity raised, to invest $10 to $12 million per transaction, and to have a fund life of five years.
White says the fund is fielding serious inquiries from foreign investors, "We are talking to investor groups throughout the U.S, Asia and Europe. The weakening dollar has given foreign investors leverage in purchasing U.S. real estate. Last year alone, the Chinese yuan strengthened 3.3% against the U.S. dollar."

Kingdom Of Wei
(Redirected from Wei Kingdom)
Founded after the battle of Guan Du by Cao Cao, Wei held the largest amount of land during the three kingdoms period leading the way to the Wei dynasty founded under Cao Cao's son Cao Pi. Eventually as Wei conquered the lands of the other two kingdoms, Shu and Wu, the Jin Dynasty was begun under the rule of the Sima family.

On it-oh, for anyone who wants to know how I'm going to make the redstone run, it's going to use a loop that will find the connection in redstone that's not connecting to where the charge just came from-in other words it searches for new wire using the array I mentioned earlier red like this:
Notes: CHX is the charges x location, CHY is the charge's y location, BACKX and BACKY are the previous coordinates x and y respectively. Unfortunately, this method ONLY SUPPORTS ONE CHARGE. I'll probably eventually modify it to support the three way and two way, but not now. For now it stays to be a priority system. AKA a system that takes one direction over the other, kind of like the Minecraft South-West rule (or is it South-East now?).

Durabak is UV-stabilized - Herc is not. Durabak comes in textured and smooth. Just follow the directions, use the specified solvent, and prep, prep, prep.
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door. |

Slice of Starsage Anyone?
I did 2.5 coats on the interior of the old Teej with one gallon of herculiner.
As far as prep goes...I really didn't do that much...(sanded the rust and wiped the surfaces down with acetone). [NOT THAT I'M ADVISING TO TAKE THE SLACKER APPROACH, AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TURN OUT SO GOOD!!!] I also did it in one night (got home from work, started at 5:30pmish, finished in the early amish then went to work). Anywho, it lasted for the couple years I had it before I sold it. |

My Durabak on my JCR sliders lasted about a week... I am not happy with it at all, I sanded every single piece by hand for nearly 4 hours... Durabak said I used to fine of sandpaper and now I am out over $100 dollars.

If It Aint ruf It Aint Me
I have been having trouble keeping my stuff on my JCR slidders too, I have re done them 2 times now, im sure ill hit them again in the spring. I know its not the steel JCR uses. i think it is the location of the sliders, always getting hit from rocks off of the tires.
November 29th, 2007, 05:56 PM | #15 |
Used 40 grit and a steel brush wheel on mine. Cleaned it using the recommended cleaner. Half gallon for one thick coat on the outside on the CJ. I rolled on the hood and got a cheap sprayer from harbor freight and sprayed the rest (spraying actually looks 10X better and took about 25 min). Worked great, but did run a little. The more coats the better. Just remember not to let it dry completely between coats. I do like the idea of the smoothness of the durabak. Herc is very rough, but tough as hell...

Used one gallon of herc on my tj and got two good coats out of it. happy so far. Would think you would need two gallons for xj... maybe one gallon and one quart, but with the cost of the quart you may as well just get two gallons and put it on thick. If it chips or comes off then I think they will usually send you a free quart to touch it up.
x3 good prep is key, keep a rag soaked in thinner handy for quick clean ups also. Don't get it on cloth seats either. |

engine / paint tech
i did my 95 yj in black herculiner and im an experienced painter. i put 2 coats on with one gallon it comes with a green scotch brite you can use this but you gotta scuff the paint good cause it wont bond good to reg paint finish. i would also cover bare metal. i would use wax and grease remover. also dont plan on using any brushes or rollers after it dries so try to get it done in a couple coats. since your doin a xj you prob need a couple gallons

I did my rockers with Herculiner. Took a couple nights during a weekend to prep then the 3rd night I was up all night applying it. It looked great at first, but it does eventually fade.
It's all about the prep work. Attachment 21718 Attachment 21719 Last edited by Grunto; October 25th, 2010 at 08:58 PM. |

I did my CJ tub with 2 coats of herculiner and it took 1 gallon. I topped it with Herculiners UV protectant and it looks great after 2 years. I agree that good prep work is the most important part, scuff everything good.

One Nation, Under Israel by
Andrew Hurley, 1999. |
AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is Israel's main lobby in the U.S. There are about 126 other political action committees (PAC), listed under deceptive names to hide their actual purpose, that can be mobilized at any time to rain money on any congressman ousting his disobedient opponent who dared criticize any aspect of U.S.-Israeli relationship. No wonder AIPAC is referred to on the Capitol Hill as "The Lobby". Many congressmen (now all ex's), such as the late Fullbright, Findley, and Percy, felt its power when daring to mildly criticize U.S.-Israeli relationship. Such criticism would also induce the wrath of the numerous pro-Israel columnists around the nation's major newspapers, such the New York Times' Safire, A.M. Rosenthal and the more subtle Thomas Friedman, the Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer and George Will, the Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby, or the New Republic's Martin Peretz and Steven Emerson.
Those who are in line with AIPAC's will
--commonly seen prostituting themselves and their country for the
sake of Jewish vote-- such as Gephardt, Forbes, Helms, Gilman,
D'Amato, Moynihan, Harkin, Levin, Specter, Lieberman and Gingrich,
are generously rewarded. All Netanyahu (or any Israeli leader) has
to do is make up a catchy phrase, regardless of how false or
out-of-context it may be, e.g. "Arafat is not keeping his
promise of locking terrorists up" or that "the Palestinian
Authority has not changed their charter which calls for Israel's
destruction". Immediately following that the whole flock of
these pro-Israel congressmen are seen parroting in unison the same
statements over and over until a new is devised. It is sad to see
the many policy makers of today having their own political gains
in mind, rather than the good of their country and the world.

Presently the same Jewish lobby is active for boycott and

We, the Jewish people, control America
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
-- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.
"I've never seen a president --I
don't care who he is-- stand up to them
Israelis]. It just boggles your mind. They always get
what they want. The Israelis know what's going on all the
time. I got to the point where I wasn't writing anything
down. If the American people understood what grip those
people have on our government, they would rise up in arms.
Our citizens don't have any idea what goes
on." |
"... terrific control the Jews have
over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up
on congressmen .... I am very much concerned over the fact
that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the
scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do
anything they don't approve of. The Israeli embassy is
practically dictating to the congress through influential
Jewish people in the
country" |
"The Israeli Prime Minister
has a lot more influence over the foreign policy of the
United States in the Middle East than he has in his own
country." |
"The Israelis control the
policy in the congress and the senate ... somewhere around
80 percent of the senate of the United States is completely
in support of Israel -- of anything Israel
wants...." |

Watch: A Creepy/Cool Trip to the Set of 'Empire Strikes Back' Featuring Luke Skywalker and a Little Boy
This Star Wars promo/contest video goes from cute to creepy in no time at all, when one little boy named Daniel is invited to the set of The Empire Strikes Back to hang out with Luke Skywalker for a day. As part of British talk show Jim'll Fix It's contest (host Jimmy Savile is kind of frightening), Daniel wins a trip to the set of Star Wars where he spends some quality time with actor Mark Hamill amongst the swamps of Dagobah.
The two have a chat about school, Daniel's favorite part in the first film, and watch a preview of Empire while Hamill plugs it like gangbusters. Seeing Daniel's wide eyes and unstoppable smile instantly teleports you back to the theater seat (or sofa at home) where you watched the film for the first time as a child. There's an awkwardness, however, about the video – like the unfortunate positioning of Hamill's lightsaber across his thigh while he's chatting the boy up, or the pervy Chewbacca conversation at the end of the clip. You almost feel bad for Daniel, but then you remember that the lucky little bastard got to hang out with some of cinema's most memorable movie characters and the disturbing molester antics don't seem so bad.
