Industrial Correspondent
A price war among the utilities escalated yesterday with a pounds 10 customer rebate from Yorkshire Water - the largest single payout in the industry so far.
Yorkshire's so-called "customer dividend" came hot on the heels of Anglian Water's pounds 6 rebate announced on Monday, and an annual reduction of about pounds 8.30 in domestic bills from Seeboard, the electricity firm.
Yorkshire Water denied any pressure to come up with handouts following North West Water's pounds 6.50 annual rebate scheme, unveiled in May.
Trevor Newton, group managing director, said the one-off pounds 10 rebate, at a cost of pounds 20m, is "a demonstration to customers that they can share tangibly in our success".
Yorkshire also predicted pounds 250m in further efficiency savings over the next five years, to be split between customers and shareholders. The pounds 125m for customers will be spent on investment beyond that required under the regulatory regime.
The company will target customers who have very low water pressure and those at risk from sewage flooding as well as leakages from pipes. Yorkshire also hopes to carry out joint projects with the National Rivers Authority to improve river quality in the region.
The company declined to be specific about shareholders' benefit from planned efficiency savings, but added: "In view of the company's performance and strong financial position, shareholders can expect to see further significant increases."
However, Yorkshire also announced plans to seek permission at the annual meeting to buy back 10 per cent of its shares "to add to the range of options available to us".
One City analyst said the customer rebates were a "great success" for Ian Byatt, director general of the water industry regulator, Ofwat. But he warned of the temptation to bow to political pressure and swing benefits too far in favour of customers, which could have long-term implications for shareholders.
Mr Newton said the rebate came from efficiency savings of pounds 150m over the last five years, of which pounds 50m will be used to enhance shareholder dividends.
He said customers had already benefited by pounds 10m from lower charges than allowed under the regulatory regime, and from "extra" investment of pounds 70m in better services and quality. That investment is over and above requirements set by the Government when the company was privatised in 1989.
Mr Newton was speaking as Yorkshire announced a 1 per cent fall in pre- tax profits to pounds 142m in the year to 31 March, after the costs of restructuring and the rebate. Earnings per share dropped by 3.7 per cent to 65.5p but the underlying change is a 20 per cent increase to 87.6p.
The dividend rose by 21.1 per cent to 27.6p. About half of the increase was accounted for by a pounds 5.8m profit from the sale of some of the company's shares in local television operations.
The company shed about 560 jobs in the 12 months and expects to cut the 3,300-strong workforce in the core-regulated business by a further 500 over the next two to three years.
Mr Newton declined to predict what would happen to dividends in future, other than to say there would be "significant" growth. During the last year, the company's non-regulated activities made a profit of pounds 7m after all business development and financing costs. Non-regulated operations include environmental and waste companies.

wikiHow to Make Handprint Art
Three Methods:Imagine Your ProjectPrepare for the ProjectCreate the DesignCommunity Q&A
For an art project keepsake, create handprint art that will capture your child's small handprint for a moment in time. Even babies can participate in this project as long as there is a willing adult ready to guide his or her precious hand to paper (and clean up the mess).
Imagine Your Project
1Determine what you hope to accomplish with this project. Do you want to create a single piece of artwork to give to a grandparent or relative or are you planning to track your child's hand size through time using artful designs?
- If tracking the changes in hand size, purchase a large art folder to keep the paintings in. Always date the back of each piece of artwork for reference. (It's a good idea to keep digital copies too, in case of damage or loss of the original handprint artwork.)
- Another method to keep a series that tracks your child's development, is to create small cards with your child's hand and mount them to a long piece of tag board.
2Choose your designs. How will you create art from your child's handprint? Will you turn his or her chubby print into swimming fish or animals or perhaps recreate the alphabet? Have a design game plan ahead of time and even sketch out how it will look.
- You may want to design something more permanent, possibly using clay or even plaster. Take your child's age, time commitment and supplies into consideration before deciding which type of art project you will attempt.
3Decide if your child is ready to participate. Although even a baby can make handprint art, be sure your child is in the right frame of mind and whether the project will be more of a difficult task rather than an enjoyable experience.
- Identify who will help you with the project. It's helpful to have someone else helping out with supplies if possible. But it's not essential unless you're supervising a group of children.
Prepare for the Project
1Choose a time when your child is rested, fed and happy. Your child will be more willing to participate when contented.
2Gather all the supplies you will need ahead of time. Instead of finding items as you go, have everything purchased and unpacked before you bring your child into the project. If you are using paint, pour paint into separate bowls or plates and have plenty of towels and water for clean up. Also, if you plan to create a project (such as a plaster handprint), read the directions ahead of time so the project goes smoothly when your child is ready to participate.
3Find an area where you can create the art. A picnic table outside or the kitchen table covered in newspaper is a great spot for an art project.
4Explain the project to your child. If your child will be actively participating in the project, explain what he or she will be doing and every step that will be taken along the way. That way, your child can mentally prepare for what will need to be done and may be more patient.
Create the Design
1Brush your child's hand with the paint or plaster to create the print. Instead of having your child's hand in a bowl of paint or plaster, apply the material with a brush. Spread paint or plaster evenly over the child's hand for full coverage.
2Guide your child's hand to the paper, canvas or board. Gently press down on his or her hand to make sure you leave an actual handprint. Tell your child to hold his or her hand still (if he or she understands) and then gently lift the hand.
3Allow the paint/plaster to dry, depending upon your project. If you're working with plaster, you may not be able to wait for the material to dry in order to decorate. Follow the kit's directions for best results.
4Decorate the handprint using your design. If you waited for the handprint to dry, tap into your imagination and create art from your child's handprint. Ideas for what to do are listed next:
- Using a marker, draw in faces, wings, fins, arms and legs, etc., to create creatures from the handprints. Add scenery.
- Draw a background pattern around the hands. Use interesting patterns, neon colors, bright lines, etc.
- Make modern art. Turn the handprints into imitations of famous modern art pieces. Check online for images of such artworks.
- Ask your child to decorate the handprints. He or she will be bound to come up with fun ideas.
- Draw around the handprints several times, so that it looks like the lines are radiating out from the original handprints. Use the colors of the rainbow to do this.
- If it's holiday time, use holiday themes to inspire the artwork touch-ups.
Community Q&A
I don't have a child. What do I do?Use your own handprints, or those of any nieces or nephews. Basically anyone with a hand is alright.
- Consider adding sequins, glitter, feathers and googly eyes to liven the artwork up.
- Always use non-toxic paint and material when working with children.
- Make it your own. If you're working with kids, tell them the instructions but don't make it your work of art. Allow them to decorate with anything they want.
- Sparkle it up by mixing sparkle glitter with the colors.
Things You'll Need
- Paint or plaster
- Canvas or similar medium
- Art smocks
- Table surface cover
- Paintbrushes
- Drying space

hey guys
for my earlier posts n comments n photos u may visit the links below and understand my past story PHOTOS- http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.co...d.php?t=138468 STORY http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums/a/albumcomm...66060861/m/445108702 i was not at all happy with my transplant....for the 1st yr it was fine but after 3yrs you all can see for yourselfs in my photos.....that i was back to square one... then i met a doctor here in delhi (india) who showed me bio-fiber and its results,i was impressed then went for 1000.....in the front area.... so now i am posting my photos taken after i have under-gone 1000 bio-fibers and after seeing my results, planning to get more... i have just come back to this site for your views and comments.... and what u people think about bio-fibers and my pics PS -- i am adding my latest photos to the old post....please see there... |
I remember you from a ways back. Thanks for coming back and updating us on your hair restoration journey. Well you definitely have a lot more hair than you did in the 3 year postoperative photos. All things considering, it looks pretty good though quite honestly, the hairline does look a little "pluggy" in my opinion. I must admit, artificial hair transplant surgery has long been a concern of mine since there are a high level of complications such as infection, rejection, and bad scarring. Synthetically transplanted hair will also not grow like regularly transplanted hair and if they break, will never grow back. I don't intend to scare you with this information, but it's important that you are aware of it, so you know what you have gotten yourself into. For more information see: Are Synthetic Hair Transplants Worth it? Bad Infection After Synthetic Hair Transplant All that to say, I truly hope that you don't experience any of these things and that your hair lasts you a very long time. Best wishes, Bill

http://www.biofibre.com sheesh this is really scary stuff. Website is way outdated etc.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp.'s VAC, +2.19% fiscal third-quarter earnings surged amid stronger results from its rental and resort management businesses, and the company also unveiled a 3.5 million share buyback plan.
The results easily topped expectations and Marriott Vacations raised its adjusted earnings guidance for the year to $2.21 to $2.37, up from July's view of $1.94 to $2.20.
Shares climbed 6.2% to $47.27 in recent trading and are up 13% so far this year. They earlier touched a post-spinoff high of $48.32.
The company, spun off of Marriott International Inc. (MAR) in 2011 and specializing in selling timeshares to vacationers, posted a profit for the period ended Sept. 6 of $25 million, or 67 cents a share, up from $5 million, or 12 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding separation-related costs and other items, earnings increased to 72 cents a share from 23 cents.
Revenue climbed 7.6% to $412 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 39 cents a share and $400 million in revenue.
The timeshare industry was hit hard following the financial crisis, but profitability at Marriott Vacations stood the company apart from its competitors. Timeshare sales, which make up 39% of the company's overall revenue, grew 13% to $162 million in the third quarter from a year earlier.
Rental revenue, which makes up 16% of the total, was also up; the division brought in $65 million in the third quarter, up 14% from a year earlier.
North America volume per guest increased 6.6% to $3,252.
Marriott Vacation said the specific timing, amount and other terms of the share buybacks will depend on market conditions. It has 36.7 million shares outstanding.

Re: (OT) Should math (or adv. math) be required in CIS degrees?by Popcorn Dave (Abbot) |
on Jul 26, 2002 at 17:06 UTC ( #185598=note: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Yes and maybe.
Math is very important if you're doing things like games and accounting. But if you're doing game programming so is physics, so would you include that as a CIS req too? To me, the bottom line is simply this. If you're going to teach someone programming, what they need to learn first is step by step problem solving. Whether that's mathematical or philisophical in nature, I don't believe makes a difference. If you can't see how to solve something in steps, you're doomed to hack and peck programming, which will cause you and anyone else looking at your code no end of headaces. Not to say that we all haven't been guilty of that once or twice... : ) Some people fall from grace. I prefer a running start...

Gaétan-Jean Sébastien Lefebvre Pépin often referred to as Sebastien "Seb" Lefebvre, is a Québécois musician best known as the rhythm guitarist and vocalist in the pop punk band Simple Plan. Lefebvre grew up in Laval, Québec, and used to work as a janitor at his old high school; College Beaubois in Pierrefonds, Quebec.
Lefebvre's surname is properly pronounced, among French speakers, "le-fave", but English speakers generally pronounce it "le-fevra". He has commented on the difference, without pronouncing the French, in his podcasts. On the DVD A Big Package for You, he pronounces it "le-fever" when he introduces himself; however the other band members can be observed smirking as he does so.

I will check it out and update on here once I find the one I'm referring to. I've read so much on here; a lot of times through my cell phone, but haven't done much posting, but it is nice to chat with people that have the same interests; my wife thinks I'm nuts.
According to FA, what are the differences supposed to be?
I believe the comparation was:
I was really looking intently at the ASG-2 or the FA4EXB's, but this review helped tip me to the Fischer's. I still want to hear the ASG-2's, but i go back and read that and I'm reassured of my choice; not that it bashed the ASG-2's at all.
Yes! that's Moonyeol comparation hope he can grab a pair of the new version soon and add some words about it
when I buy an FA-4E XB now (I mean in July 2015) will it be the new version already ? How can I spot the difference ?
Good to know, but it seems like the Rhapsody series will take a couple of months to be released I guess. Not even sure if it's really going to be "better" maybe
just "different" the FA-4E XB is almost perfect for my taste.
I've been planning on buying one of the fischer amps iems for some time. Now I'm quite confused. I thought the "XB" stands for the Rhapsody series. Is that correct? If not, then the FA-4E XB is "the new fa4e version" you referred to in the quote?
In terms of SD3, I would rather have the SD2. SD2 is still darker than what I want, so the FA-4E XB might just be what I have been looking for. I would really want to have a try, but no retailers here in hk has it in store.
I'll probrably be ordering them tomorrow, so hoping they won't dissapoint :)
Did you get them? I'm in the same dilemma... upgrading from IE80 (same as IE8) and I made a small list of options including both Fischer amps and SD3... how do they compare with IE8/80?
I have just ordered the FA-4E XB and can do a short comparison with the sd3. I have no interest in the IE80 though.

Your text to code ratio is too low (15%). You should think of adding more text to your site. Right now the code is too much!
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: Low ratio will usually have negative SEO impact. Low ratio can be fixed with adding some text or by moving formatting and programming to external CSS and JS files.
By the book all <img> tags require to have alt tag. e.g. <img src="cat.gif" alt="My cat Tommy" /> This alt text is shown if image is not load for some reason - e.g. text only browsing, mobile browsing, broken picture and so on. This alt text is also shown when mouse cursor is over the picture. This alt text is also used from modern search engines as picture title. Sure not all images really need alt tag. In this case an empty alt tag might be add, in order to satisfy the HTML standard.
You have 11 images with no alt attribute. It's good to have alternate text (alt) attributes to all you images.

97The 2004 Terra di Lavoro is off the charts. Everything is in perfect balance. Silky, refined tannins frame an explosive core of dark red fruit, smoke, minerals, ash, bacon fat, leather and minerals. The 2004 continues to develop exquisitely in the glass, with layers of aromatics, fruit and structure that continue to blossom over the course of several hours. The 2004 still needs bottle age, as it is incredibly primary. Its elegance, however, is impossible to miss. This bottle is simply out of this world. It now seems pretty obvious I underestimated the wine when I first tasted it a few years ago. One day the 2004 will be viewed in the same league with Mastroberardino's famous 1968 Taurasis as among the most monumental wines ever made in southern Italy. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2041. ||Terra di Lavoro, first produced in 1994, has quickly established itself as one of Italy's cult wines. I tasted all of these vintages with proprietors Arturo and Dora Celentano during their first visit to the US. The Celentanos have a huge passion for food and wine, and that exuberance comes through loud and clear in these fabulous wines. Terra di Lavoro is 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso from vines planted by consulting oenologist Riccardo Cotarella beginning in 1991. The fruit is harvested according to ripeness rather than strictly by variety, which means that Aglianico and Piedirosso are sometimes picked and vinified together. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wines are racked into French oak where they remain on their lees for several months. Cotarella describes Aglianico as a hard grape to take through malolactic fermentation. He therefore believes it is essential for the final blend to be made before the wines go into malo. The final blend is assembled and undergoes what is usually a very slow malo, in steel for 80-90% of the wine, prior to being moved back into oak. There is little question that malolactic fermentation in stainless steel contributes significant freshness and aging potential to this heroic southern Italian wine. Wine Advocate.August, 2010 |
Fattoria Galardi is a southern Italian wine producer based in the north west of Campania. The winery is best known for making one wine: Terra di Lavoro, based on the Aglianico grape variety. Under the guidance of esteemed oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, the family owned estate has become a real sensation in the wine world and Terra di Lavoro has emerged as one of the star wines of southern Italy. Campania's generous heat and volcanic soils produce the deeply concentrated grapes that become this wine. The blend of 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedrosso are bottled unfined and unfiltered before being aged for 12 months in new French oak. The resulting wine is structured, powerful and complex with massive ageing potential. Terra di Lavoro is also a wine that is consistently precise vintage to vintage, often scoring in the 97+ point range from Antonio Galloni and James Suckling.

1999 Pontiac Bonneville
Compare Dealer Clearance Prices and SAVE
1999 Pontiac Bonneville Review
Full-size car, midsize price.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 1999 Pontiac Bonneville is a fairly priced, simple, and solid sedan. Moderate in all senses of the word, the Bonneville is not flashy or high powered. What it does offer is a good ride in an appropriately-powered vehicle with European styling conventions. In addition, the SSEi model provides enhanced performance with a more powerful engine and an improved handling package. With this model year being the final year of the current model cycle, the 1999 Pontiac Bonneville has little in the way of new updates or options. Instead, Pontiac elected to wait for the all-new 2000 model to introduce any further changes to the platform.
The Range
Engines: 3.8-liter V-6
Transmissions: four-speed automatic
Models: Pontiac Bonneville SE, Pontiac Bonneville SLE, Pontiac Bonneville SSE, Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
What's New
The 1999 Pontiac Bonneville has a dealer-installed OnStar mobile communications system available.
The 1999 Pontiac Bonneville's exterior is more European than many of its other American counterparts. It avoids Ford's typical oval shape and Dodge's signature flying wedges, instead going for an upright shape reminiscent of European sedans. Unfortunately, the Bonneville's rear end sags, taking away from the rest of the exterior styling. The addition of a deck lid spoiler does nothing to offset this. The front end appears slightly elongated with short headlights and a very small grille opening.
Much like all the model years prior, the 1999 Pontiac Bonneville continues to offer a spacious interior with room for the whole family. Both leather and cloth seats are available. The seats are comfortable, and there is plenty of leg room. The instruments are ergonomically sound, and it's avoided the overuse of plastic inserts found in many of the lower tier GM models. The Bonneville also offers a gracious amount of cargo space. Due to the high roofline and upright cabin, the Bonneville has a good amount of visibility from within.
Performance & Handling
The SE, SLE, and SSE provide adequate performance and handling. Capable of passing on the highways while carrying a family and luggage, the V-6 is stout enough that the car does not lag. The suspension is a bit mushy, and the steering is not the most precise or responsive, but the handling is capable enough. The SSEi improves on the handling while adding an additional 35 horsepower under the hood. The handling is upgraded with larger shocks and springs, allowing it to be more responsive and provide control with power. The trade-off for this performance, aside from sticker price, is the lower fuel mileage and necessity for premium gas. Both the SSE and SSEi have heavy-duty transmissions.
All models of the 1999 Pontiac Bonneville come with standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes and dual front impact airbags. Traction control is standard on the SSE and SSEi and optional on the SE and SLE. This vehicle received high marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for front crash protection but below average for side impact, especially for rear seat passengers.
EPA Fuel Economy
Pontiac Bonneville SLE: 17/25 mpg city/highway
Pontiac Bonneville SSE: 17/25 mpg city/highway
Pontiac Bonneville SSEi: 16/25 mpg city/highway
You'll Like
- Surprising performance from a V-6
- Cargo room
- Passenger cabin space
You Won't Like
- Fuel mileage
- Mushy handling, except in the SSEi
- Awkward deck lid spoiler
Sum Up
Full-size car, midsize price.
If You Like This Vehicle
- Ford Taurus
- Mercury Grand Marquis
- Dodge Intrepid
- Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The first thing to understand is individuals volunteer to tackle various tasks. Here are some relevant snippets from http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html : "Projects are normally auto governing and driven by the people who volunteer for the job. This is sometimes referred to as "do-ocracy" -- power of those who do. This functions well for most cases." "All of the ASF including the board, the other officers, the committers, and the members, are participating as individuals. That is one strength of the ASF, affiliations do not cloud the personal contributions. Unless they specifically state otherwise, whatever they post on any mailing list is done *as themselves*. It is the individual point-of-view, wearing their personal hat and not as a mouthpiece for whatever company happens to be signing their paychecks right now, and not even as a director of the ASF." Here's another valuable snippet from http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html#what-is-apache-NOT-about : What is Apache not about? To [... jean deleted text to highlight tail of sentence ...] demand someone else to fix your bugs. If you look at the derby-dev archives, you might occasionally see somebody cross the edge into "demanding". A typical response might be "If you care strongly about this issue, please dive in and help fix it". But, now lest it look like everybody is working diligently solely as an individual (and possibly at cross purposes with others), there is a lot of community coordination and contribution that occurs on the Apache mail lists. The http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html page has lots of helpful context. And where Derby is concerned, Kathey asked for users to vote on the Jira issues they would like to see fixed: http://email@example.com%3e http://firstname.lastname@example.com%3e > The point I'm trying to make is that if we look at JIRA there are over 300 > open issues and the classification of what is critical and what is a bug are > subjective. > > There needs to be guidelines. > While DERBY-616 may be a bug, I wouldn't call it critical.

Peak: | Uncompahgre Peak (14er) |
Route: | South Ridge via. Matterhorn Creek |
Range: | San Juan |

Report |
Parked at the Matterhorn Creek TH and hiked up the Ridge Stock Trail to the pass just below Matterhorn Peak. Hot son about a half mile before the pass. Pass itself was fairly snowy but very consolidated. We descended and rounded Unc. and ascended the standard trail. Long ways around but was very pretty with green tundra spots perched out in between snowfields. Summit was fantastic. We descended the SW coliour but was only able to glissade the bottom third of it due to its steepness and the fact it was still pretty hard. Would make a decent snow climb right now. Had to walk down the upper two thirds with crampons. The snow didn't soften too much throughout the dyad we only potholed a few times on the return back over the pass. I also climbed Matterhorn without snow on the slope above the pass and the class 3 part at the top was a breeze. Photos will come with my large TR coming in mid to late July. |

Take Action to Develop Better Habits in 2013
The new year is typically a time for reflection, a time to sit down and really think about our lives, our careers, and our families.
It's also a time when people resolve to kick their bad habits for good.
Sure, New Years resolutions are a good start.
But the key to turning negative habits into positive ones is to TAKE ACTION!
You can begin forming better habits by following this two-step approach.
Write down all of the habits that keep you unproductive or that might negatively impact your future. It's also a good idea to ask a friend or family member to help you objectively identify what they believe are your limiting habits.
Common limiting habits include:
Review your list and look for patterns.
Make adjustments to your daily schedule to accommodate this new success habit.
If your goal is to kick a procrastination habit, on Monday morning make a checklist of what must be accomplished by the end of the week. An activity like this will help keep your positive habit going AND it will keep you motivated.
Psychologists say 90% of our behavior is habitual. From the time we get up in the morning to the moment we hit the bed at night, there are literally hundreds of things we do the same every day.
AND, research shows that it takes just 13 weeks of repeat behavior for behaviors to become habits.
This new year, why not devote 13 weeks of your life to developing a new set of firmly entrenched POSITIVE HABITS?
You'll thank yourself for it later.

Meanwhile, young Colette stares curiously back at the signature household pet, protectively guarding her hot chocolate from a potential feline thief.

BMC Election 2017: The complicated history of Shiv Sena, BJP — from friends to enemies to frenemies
It is of note that the Shiv Sena did not take out impromptu victory rallies on Thursday, celebrating its 84 seats in the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. It is as if there is some prompt introspection about the decision, for they stand to lose control of the civic body, unless there is some post-poll tie-up with some other party.Feb 23, 2017

From a philosophical reaction to pot brownies, to complaining about an uncommitted boyfriend, 911 dispatchers have handled their fair share of ridiculous non-emergency calls.
The Washington County Dispatch in Oregon has decided to do something about it. Their agency is debuting a brand new campaign called 'You Called 911 For That?!' to educate people about when to not call 911.
Each week, the WCCCA will publish the most ridiculous use of the 911 system from calls that were answered by emergency dispatch.
This is the first week of the campaign, and Dispatch Agency Spokesperson Mark Chandler said in just one week they had about 10 calls in the "ridiculous" category that qualified for the title of most absurd.
The winner for best/worst non-emergency was a person calling to report that his debit card wouldn't work at a gas station. The runner-up was a woman reporting a person smoking a cigarette on a train platform.
Washington Dispatch agency spokesman Mark Chandler says most people understand the proper use of 911, but because of limited 911 lines and operators, the agency is not equipped to handle the large number of non-emergency calls or general information requests.
"You should only call 911 if there is an emergency involving your life or property," Chandler told ABC News today. If a crime had taken place where no emergency vehicle is needed, Chandler recommends calling your local police station.
"For instance, someone was calling to ask if the trailer they were looking to purchase had been stolen previously," said Chandler. "That's obviously an important question but one that you'd call your local police department for, rather than tying up the 911 emergency lines."
The program 'You Called 911 For That?!' was inspired by a similar series in Vancouver, where the police department released a Most Absurd Calls list of 2013. The article received national attention in Canada, which prompted Chandler to consider it for Washington County.
Chandler hopes this program will help his dispatch team find ways to better direct callers to their local police station.
"We can't have lines tied up with non-emergency calls when someone is on hold in a real emergency trying to assist someone with CPR," said Chandler.

Hi awl, I actually did some investigating on Google chrome today and actually found some great pics and maps of where I used to live, even as little child and going to elementary school. I wanted to make a printout of the houses and area and there was no way that I could see to take the pictures. Sometimes there are places that say PRINT in the article for printer friendly. Also, I usually can go to file and then print but there is non on Google chrome and maybe Google too. Are there any tricks that I can do to get them printed out? I will be upset if I can't. Was so curious especially about my original house I grew up in in NY till elementary school and graduation. Then we moved again in H.S. and my parents lived there till they died and then we sold the house. The original house was so small but was really gutted and remodeled as were a lot of homes in that area. The original homes were small but were often extended out and up too as the area was good and on the bus line and all too. Thanks to any techie in advance !! Hugz, Granni
P.S. I forgot to mention what I found was from a real estate section and perhaps there would also be another different website that would have pictures that could be printed out. The name of the site is called Homesnap.com. They give the pictures of the homes now and their values and when the homes were built, etc. Very interesting. However, I cannot figure out how to print these pages out. I would so happy if I could get these or other pictures of these homes that I could print out with how they are now. My very first home I lived in was a pretty old one built in 1920. Thanks so much. More hugs, Granni
Hi Granni, I am not a techie, but try right clicking while your cursor is not on the image, but off to the side. When I do that, I get a print option.
I just looked this up, I don't have Google Chrome. To print just the picture, right-click directly on the picture and select "Print frame". 'How To Print in Google Chrome' To print the whole web page you're currently viewing in Google Chrome, click the Page menu and select "Print". The 'Print' dialog box for Windows will open; follow the instructions given. To print a specific frame in the webpage, right-click anywhere in the frame and select "Print frame". Patti
Hi, I use Chrome. The menu is at the very end of the url line. First there is a star (for bookmarking) then there are 3 horizontal bars. Click on the bars and you will see "print."
Thank you Tooks, Patti and Nanie for your wonderful suggestions. I will try them and at least one should work. I appreciated your suggestions so VERY much. I have run into this situation before and it was frustrating not knowing how to print. This should be very helpful !! Hugs to you all, Granni
Hi Granni Your question is much too technical for my small brain. I don't even know what Google Chrome is. The only chrome I am familiar with is the stuff on car bumpers. But, of course, those disappeared decades ago. I'm impressed that many of our posters are well informed on such arcane topics. Rock
Hi Rock et al, Yes, it is great that there are so many who can share their little talents. I can do the basics in computers which I understand there are quite a few our ago who know little about computers. However, in comparison to some and I a techie which I am far from. From what I understand Google Chrome is just a little upgraded Google. It works rather the same way. That is something quite new as I understand it. Again, thanks to all who answered and helped me get some of the pictures I wanted for my genealogy. I am going to find some more old homes that we lived in which will be interesting to see how people have changed them over the years. Although, I really didn't remember a whole lot about my parents first home which they lived in till I was about 13 or so. It was built in 1920 and owned first by an uncle of mine I believe. The first home for them was 1314 sq. ft. and they thought it was probably big for them !! Curious what they paid for it. My mom is gone and she would have known but I will just have to guess, I supposed !! The next home I lived in till I married and they stayed there till they both passed on. That was 1682 sq ft- quite an upgrade for them. I had an upstairs bedroom with my brother (not the same room) and there was no bathroom up there either. There was one bath in the house. The people who bought it when it was sold extended out and up and I am sure made another bathroom for sure. Was curious about the store that was across the street form my parents first house , if it was still there, The building is or part of it but it is now a small community church. Really interesting. Hugz and thanks again to all, Granni !!
Hi Granni. Thanks for the update, was in suspense wondering if you'd get the pictures printed, yayyyy! I too love to look up the houses I've lived in, and my friends and relatives too - pics and valuations and all, especially the Google street view pics where you move the view around and see it from all sides of house and all the neighboring houses too. I just type in the address in the Google Search bar, then click the big map that's first on the list, and it's all there. I had to look up Google Chrome, have been hearing about it but didn't know exactly what it was - it's a browser like the Mozilla Firefox I use, and Internet Explorer, right? I think I've read somewhere that it's good to use with the Smartphones. Hey Rock, me and hubby love the old classic cars, those were the days, real works of art. We have a funny family story about my hubby. Decades ago when he was a teen and riding with his mom in their new car for the first time, he was being silly and hanging out the window yelling in an excited sing-song voice to people in other cars and pedestrians "SEE THE CHROME? SEE THE CHROME?" My faves are the monstrosities with fins. Whenever I see those, I joyfully exclaim "FINS!" Patti
Hi Patti, I'm so old I can remember riding in a rumble seat. When I was a kid cars had running boards and a clock in the dashboard. The clock, however, was usually not running. They tended to die after a year or two. And cars did not have electric turn signals. You stuck your arm out the window. And no such thing as power steering or braking. And no one had a/c except maybe movie stars. But cars did have little triangular windows in the corners that would blow hot air into the car. Very helpful. LOL One could still see model Ts and As driving around occasionally. Mr Chase, our 90 year old neighbor had a Model T. There wasn't much left of it. It had been parked under an elm tree for decades. We kids used to sit on the battered and crumbling seats and take trips. Sometimes we'd pull a radish or a turnip from his garden. This was not petty theft. In our village we often got apples from neighbors' trees or berries from their bushes. Standard neighborly behavior. No one ever complained. I remember the 70s as the big fin era, but Wikipedia says it was actually the 50s and 60s. In any case, those days are farther away from now than the Model T was from the days of my yute. (That's how my mother and uncle pronounced "youth". Good ta hear from ya. Rock
HI Rock and Patti, I too remember all the things you mentioned Rock. In our neighborhood I didn't see any or many model T's. I still remember the little almost bug like car my dad had. Not sure of the make, maybe a Ford. Yes, I also remember that small triangular mirror that wasn't much good. Yes, it blew hot hair on you when it was very HOT out. Oh yes, I remember the fins - I think they were more in the 50's and 60's. The guys just loved them and girls too I might add !! Patti - Thanks for your newsy post. The one problem I did have was I couldn't get a picture of when you can change the view to another area on the view. Also, one area that had a picture on the screen came out blank on the paper. You could see this when you went to print out also on the screen. When it went to print the picture disappeared from the screen - strange. However, I did get some pics from another part of the screen. This was a real estate site I believe that gave all the info and had some pics. I may just check out putting the address in there and see what comes up too. Rock - This whole things started when we were talking about how far away we had to WALK to school. It seemed like such a long way. It was pretty long for a young child. When I got the full address with zip ( we had no zips when I lived there) I went to MapQuest to see the mileage. It was a little less than I mile I believe . Things looks so different now from what little I could tell. The houses seem to be fairly well kept up in that area now. Wonder what my parents paid for it . It is now over $350,000 for an approx. 1500 sq ft. house , if I remember correctly. This is of course NY and the homes are definitely more expensive there too besides Ca. and perhaps other states too. Gotta run and get ready to leave for church. TTYL ! Love to awl, Granni
Hi guys. I read that it's a Midwest thing that they call everyone guys, and sure 'nuff, haha. Shoot, Granni. I googled some more about the exact problems you had with printing the street view and it was common. In fact, it said Google Chrome doesn't print street view pics. Hadn't ran across that one before. People said to use other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer - but a lot of them had the same problem too. I noticed that the street view is in 3-D. I wonder if that's the problem, just can't print 3-D pics, like maybe printer can't handle it? If I right click on the street view pic, it has an option to turn the 3-D off. But then the picture is blurry, no good. Some people said there is a trick to print the street view though. You have to download it into your computer into Windows Paint - then print it from there. I couldn't figure out the instructions, too complicated for me. I never could figure out how to use the Paint. And they said you can't let the arrow move and alter or move or budge in the slightest the street view pic while you're printing it (or downloading it to Paint) - pic has to stay perfectly still. And can only queue one pic at a time to print or it will disappear. I noticed the other day when experimenting with it, that the pic wouldn't show up in print preview if I had it too enlarged for a close-up view. It showed up blank. A lot of people had the exact same problem as you. The pic showed up in the preview, but then printed out blank. Well, at least you got to see the marvelous street view pics online! I love hearing everyone's memories! Me and hubby are both nostalgic people, we have fun telling our memories over and over to each other throughout the years, and it never gets old, haha. Rock, the Model T you kids got to play in - what a blast! That would have been so fun for us girls playing house with too, we could take a trip to the grocery store, haha. We were able to talk the boys in my neighborhood gang into playing house with us once in a while. Dennis always wanted to be the dog. LOL That was fun. Several years ago hub's brother gave us his 1985 passenger van, which we have to this day. Me and hub were so excited that it had those little wing windows. The second time we drove it, the handle on the passenger side one broke, so we've kept them shut ever after, since the broken one still locks. Rock, Gordon was totally right about relaxing your tongue, hahahaha! That's one of the first steps of my relaxation technique when laying here all tense needing to fall asleep. First step: Unclench jaw. Unclench teeth. Second step: Relax tongue from cleaving tight to roof of mouth. Get tongue down. Relax tongue - get tongue to slide back along bottom of mouth toward throat, relaxed. To unclench my jaw, I open my mouth real wide, slowly and briefly, wide like when you yawn. Takes a few times of briefly opening mouth wide over the next minute to finally stay unclenched and relaxed. Then let the tongue relax and slide back. This really helps me a lot, when I finally remember to do it. Patti
Hi Patti, Thanks for the nice long post and also instructions on how to relax ones mouth and tongue !!!! Also, I am not going to worry about taking any more pictures off Google that are not just the basic picture. Yep, to complicated for me too and I am to lazy, I pretty much wanted to see what the street looked like now. The original one that was my parents 1st real house looks sort of the same but probably in better shape and fixed up on the outside. Interesting to see they built on the empty lot where we played. The park was still there and the little store that was across the street now turned into a little community church. Not sure if I mentioned all that before so please forgive if I had already mention this. Thanks again so much for replying to me and for taking the time to let me know what I could do if I was so inclined. Real brain fog - nothing to involved for me !! Hugz to you and anyone else who may be peaking in , and posted before !!! Granni
Yes, so fascinating to see all the places you and yours lived before, and to read the history of the houses. Me and hubby grew up in the area we are now, and when we were first married we had fun taking a drive, showing each other all the houses we lived in and our grandparents' and relatives' houses they used to live in. They sure have changed, and the areas around them, that's for sure. Hugs to you, Granni. And Happy Happy Birthday to Rock. Patti
Hi Patti, Thanks for the b-day wishes. I always say doesn't really matter how many b-days. If one works at it, one can still be immature. When I was a kid I used to look at some grownups and wonder. Were you ever a kid? Don't you remember? Or were you a big jerk even then? Three of my college roommates are just as silly now as they were half a century ago. It has kept them young, at least in spirit. One of the best toys we ever had was a refrigerator carton. When I was young, we had no refrigerator In the winter food was stored on the back porch (this was Minnesota). In the summer it went in the cellar which had doors outside the house (like the Wizard of Oz). Anyhoo that cartoon was a clubhouse and a fort and a submarine and I can't remember what all. After 3 or 4 summer showers it gave up the ghost. Gotta go. Gordon turned on the attic fan which is overhead. Kinda like having an old fashioned non-jet plane in the house. Rock
Rock, et al, Yes, years ago it just took a simple thing like an empty box to provide hours of imaginative play for all kids. Now, so much of that is gone, which is sad. Now there are just to many gadgets, while I do love some of them, like a computer and a smart phone. Although it looks like I may have to give up my smart phone when our contract expires as the cost is really a bit much. How can everyone afford all this stuff? I know some supposedly poor people get their own phones , but that is another sad story. Now we see little ones running around with their own phones, ridiculous, Everyone now, no matter how young thinks they have everything, and the most expensive stuff. Yes, give little boys a stick and they will make it a gun, like my brother used to do, etc. etc. Yep, and a box was a good fort !! Sounds like your attic ceiling fan isn't the newest !! Patti - Hope you are doing OK today. Things are much the same. DH has a meeting this a.m. and probably luncheon afterwards . So, will have some time on the computer but also need to weed, wash and other things. May even do some more checking on addresses on houses we lived in years ago. I got the street view but not just the house,, strange. Also need to so some more checking prices for supplements, but may check CVS/Caremark when I go today to pick up my thyroid meds. Usually have them mailed but am trying out another dose change, so only get 30 days worth . If they don't have what I am looking for I may have to order on line. I order quite a bit on line anyway. Have a great day and maybe I will be back later. Hugz, Granni
Hi guys. Was wiped out for a few days - glad my brain finally revived to write, yayyy. Rock, did Gordon make you a birthday cake? My grown son wanted pie instead for a few years, and now he switched to cheesecake, yummy, my top fave too. Us neighborhood kids had a refrigerator box once too. That was a blast. I just thought of this - you know how we feel sorry for kids nowadays for being glued to their gadgets and less simple imaginative play? Well, they probably feel sorry for us who had to play with sticks and boxes. Hahahahaha. Boy, those were the days. We always came up with something fun to do. I thought I saw someone mention here a while back that they didn't like moving out to the country because there were no sidewalks. Or maybe it was just me, I mentioned it before. Lived in city elementary school years, when it was safe to leave doors unlocked at night. We rode our trikes and bikes up and down the sidewalk. Played jump rope, hopscotch, roller skated with our little metal skates with the metal skate key to attach them to our shoes. Then moved out to the country, no sidewalks to do all that stuff on anymore. But it was replaced by exploring down at the creek, catching little crawdads. And tree houses. I always got stuck up in the tree houses afraid to get back down. Terrified of heights to this day. I could get up there just fine. But looking down to get on ladder to climb back down was another story - I'd be stuck there at least 10 minutes so scared I'd fall, before I finally just had to do it. I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck up a tree house, or on a one story rooftop, hahahaha. In the country, we still had Hide n Seek, Ghost in the Graveyard (same thing only played after dark, haha), tag, freeze tag, kickball, softball, football, and on and on. Granni, I know you're busy busy busy getting ready for your upcoming trip. Have a wonderful trip. And good luck getting your thyroid med adjusted. Takes a while to get it tweaked just right - takes a lot of experimenting til you get just the right dose, from what I've read. Patti
Hi Patti, Rock and everydobby else !! Not getting ready yet to leave on our trip. It will be towards the end of next week but now have to cancel things coming up and make other appointments.. Do you think we should start an OLDER, MORE EXPERIENCED CORNER of these boards - he he !! To bad I never got to climb up in a tree house. I probably would be like you, Patti and be afraid to get down if I was up there.in the first place. We weren't in the country but we were in the semi suburbs, I guess you would call it. Not exactly the city but a little ways out, Speaking of thyroid meds, I too am going through the tweaking stage I guess you would call it. So far not to bad we have to wait till the I get to do another blood draw in a few months. Just wanted to pop in to say hi. Just got in from doing some weeding outside. It is already so hot and I put on long pants and long sleeved shirt today as I already have a smalls spot on my upper arm of poison something or another. Trying to keep it from spreading. It can be so itchy - grrr ! TTYAL ! Hugz, Granni

Capcom have shared some sketches of fighters who were created but failed to make the finished product, and yeah, it's pretty easy seeing why most of them died where they did. Advertisement First up is a "Clumsy Cutie". Here's her description: Advertisement When this cutie starts fighting, her clothes start becoming more tattered due to her clumsiness.OK.Next up: Prototype Shadaloo Soldier. Apparently it's a "design that takes inspiration from the Aliens vs. Predator franchise". Also from "shitty 90s superhero comics" and "bad Xbox 1 game". No thank you. Advertisement Sponsored Here's "Soccer Fighter", who initially looks like a fresh twist for Street Fighter, until you remember he's basically a clone of Rival Schools' Roberto (which was indeed the reason he was scrapped): They're not all bad though! Some were a combination of both cool art and interesting character designs, like "Fighting Literary Master": And a "Fighting President", whose policies probably involve a lot of kicking ass and somersaults.

Oh wow. Listen, I did NOT violently rub his nose in urine. I guess I should have worded that a little better. My way of speaking sorry. That's the way I have always been told how to potty train pups. All of our friends who have dogs told us that's what they did with their dogs and they turned out to be wonderful pets. I also have never heard that it was a form of abuse. Sorry to offend anyone with my way of potty training. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, but that's the way we did it with cooper and he doesn't pee in the house anymore and he's only 3 months. He actually goes to the door, sits, and waits for us to take him out. He is also a VERY happy puppy. That tail still wags! Do I think he will have long term side effects from me rubbing his nose in his own urine? No, I don't THINK he will, and if he does... well, then shame on me. But right now, he's as happy as can be! Food, water, lovin's, and warm place to sleep and plenty of attention! And one other thing I would like to mention, you cannot compare dogs and humans. You're right I would never rub a human baby's nose in their own diaper. Because that's a human, that's just.. weird. A baby wouldn't be my pet, that would be my child! You can't sit there and say dogs and humans are equal. Dogs are pets. Humans are not pets. You compare the two, and say not to punish the dog. But when your kid does something he/she isn't suppose to do you put them in time out or whatever you do to discipline your kid. I'm honestly just shocked that this even came up. If I knew that people thought it was a form of abuse I would have never mentioned it. So again, sorry. |

Another potty training question
That was a not even a week after I had him. I got him at at 8-9 weeks of age.
I was just wanting some tips/suggestions.. And the feedback I received also played a roll too. And was very helpful. I know im not the doggy training puppy goddess. Trust me, I have a lot to learn. And still intend to come ask questions about cooper and all that jazz. Because I find this forum very helpful and informative. I learn something new every day. Really, my intentions were not to step on toes. My apologies. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Most of you are expecting too much from your puppies and even the ones who seem trained will usually regress at some point and you wonder what happened.Don't expect a house trained dog till at least a year of age,until then do not allow the puppy to have the run of the house,you need to be where he/she is at all times when you can't puppy needs to be confined. Tethering the puppy to you is a good way to keep track of him.If there is an accident and you can catch him just starting to pee you can clap your hands and say NO then rush him outside,if you don't see it happen put the puppy out and don't let him see you clean it up,there are better ways to handle it then putting their face in it.I know old school habits die hard,use to see my parents do that when I was a kid. For those puppies that may seem to go out then come back in the pee next time the puppy goes in the house and you clean it up with paper towels put the soiled towels in a zip lock bag and whe you take the puppy outside next time place those soiled paper towels on the ground where you want him to go, if he thinks he has gone there before he will start to eliminate in that area.At the age of 6 weeks,which ,sorry ,but is way too young to bring home a puppy,but some dippy breeders still allow it,you need to take a puppy that young out every 10-15 min. more often if they are playing and active. From 8-12 weeks old is roughly every 10 to 20 min. From 12 weeks and actually this can be used as a guide for the other ages too. They go out when they get up,after they play ,after they drink,before bed and probably a couple times at night. be consistant and persistant these are dogs of habit. Some will house train with no problem,some early,some later it will all depend on the dog.Don't lose patience they are only babies and even though they are not human babies, they are still babies . I think I'm going to write a book (not that I know everything) on "How to Grow Your Basset" maybe no one will buy it but I'll get a lot of things off my chest

why should she stop when she knows if she keep it up she is going to get let out. You have inadvertently rewarded this behavior that is why you have it getting it to stop is not going to be so easy.
Creating a nitetime ritual You can try and give her a stuffed konk or other reward and mental challenging task and perhaps that will keep her quite till she falls asleep |

I'd buy your book
I always found when you did catch them going (obviously a failure on your part it really resonated when you picked them up mid pee/poo and straight outside (for them it must be jeez how annoying) - no words - just on their spot. They might have finished, carried on the way there, or the shock of being scooped up they may have stopped and finish on their spot outside... But praise/cookie as usual once on the spot... Back inside (and as Bubbad said clean up but don't let them see you doing it) Also use a special enzyme cleaner that removes all the smells. Regular household ones don't always do the job. Lol who said they aren't like human babies (or any babies!)? You do get weed and pooped on occasionally....

No fuss or seeing one
Only a big good one when they go outside...

Well all I'll say is Bella is 2 and still pees inside if she feels like it, though she was a little bit different, she didn't come to me until she was 14 weeks old, and had never been outside her shed, so she wouldn't go outside when she came to us, I cannot tell you the hours of standing outside in the middle of winter I had with her, sausage in hand waiting for that glorious outdoor pee!!
Now she is very good most of the time, but still expects a reward when she's been, and still waits for me to put my shoes on before we go out last thing at night, it's been a very slow process, but not once have I ever got mad with her, because she is such a contrary madam, I know for a fact she would go and pee somewhere I couldn't find it. The odd pee once in a while is because I sometimes get complacent when she's being really good, or I've not made sure she's gone before I leave her, so I don't blame her, unless it's when it's raining outside and she takes one look out the door and pees where she likes. But then she could be thinking that I don't look like I'm going outside so why should she? I think it's best to have a sense of humour then let it get you down. I'd hate to think I was getting mad at my dog because of my failings to teach her properly. |

Like I said some sooner some later...... If they see you cleaning up the gifts they have left you they are inticed to leave more. Have you noticed when you go to clean it up if the puppy is anywhere around it runs right over to you trying to figure out what you are doing,being nosey,they are re-smelling what they did,even if you yell at them a puppy has the memory of a fruit fly(actually memory is much better than that) I should say attention span is lacking. Learn to think like a dog.
