Close to the high-octane world of the City of London and also near to London's trendy east End, with Shoreditch and Brick Lane very nearby. Liverpool Street Tube Station is 1 minute walk away. Liverpool Street is a big transport hub with connections all over the great city of London.
Shoreditch is in the east of central London and is one of the most popular areas in London at the moment. It is full of trendy cafés, bars, restaurants and other meeting points such as galleries and small shops. There are also a lot of exciting markets surrounding the area such as Brick Lane Market, Broadway Market and Colombia Road Market.
A short walk away from Shoreditch is Liverpool Street station where you can access Central Line, which will take you to the Oxford Street in 10 minutes. Oxford Street is the main shopping street in London, and nearby are a lot of the typical attractions of London. There are also plenty of buses and night buses running 24/7 from all directions in London.

Size for two people for a stay of 3 day acceptable. Kitchen and restroom are okay.
Directly above restaurant kitchen ventilation => very noisy and bad smells from 10 am till midnight!!!
Always a nice place to stay for a couple af days.
Excellent location for the City etc. Thanks.
The room and the kitchen was ok. Some nights I got disturbed by the visitors from the pubs nearby. But as it was in the central of London it was good for that price.
Room as described, good quarter with two tube stations within five minutes. Very quiet and friendly guests of the house. Return.
La habitación tal y como se describía, buen barrio con dos bocas de metro a cinco minutos. Muy tranquilo y los huéspedes de la casa amables. Volvería.
I was travelling with my 11 year old daughter and found this room a little less than expected. To call it elegant and relaxing is not quite accurate - clean and comfortable would be more reasonable. The location was great, close to trains and buses. As I was with my daughter we tended to be out for the whole day, returning only to sleep and this was the problem. The curtains did not block out any of the light (it didn't get dark till 10.30ish and even then there was street lighting to deal with) and the windows did not dull the noise from outside. These were the main issues, which if you are out enjoying the night life wouldn't be of concern. The shared bathroom was clean, but a unique(?) heating system made it tricky to negotiate water temperature. And I'm afraid to say that as an Australian I'm not used to putting soiled toilet paper in a bin - just doesn't feel right. If I were the owner I would spruce up the entrance - it was really ugly and only needs a coat of paint, maybe a picture or two, perhaps a plant, to make it more welcoming. For the location and price (compared to hotels etc) I didn't expect too much, but another family staying at the same time were quite horrified and were blatant in their dislike of the place. Not bad for four nights, but we were happy to move on.
Excellent location, very close to the Liverpool station, and bus station where the buses take you to the main places, good pubs, 24 hrs bar and a supermarlket! The room was ok for the price in London but it was really hot.
We spent 5 nights in this apartment. The neighbourhood itself is quite noisy, but it didn't interrupt a good night sleep. Our general impression was positive, however I must say that there's not much space (despite what's shown in the pics) and it's not that clean (mainly in the bathroom). The kitchen is well equipped, but the blender and one plate on the hob do not work. The living room is the heart of the flat - with a comfy sofa, large dining table and an impressive TV(lacking EuroSport tho). The only flaw of the room is that the sofa bed is broken in the middle and may cause back pains.
When it comes to the bathroom and the bedroom - both small, yet big enough.
I give Marcos a 5 star rating! The Apartment is in the perfect location if you are visiting for a few days in London. We were looking forward to shopping in the Liverpool area, so this was just perfect. It is also just steps away from the Liverpool station which has three tube lines running through it to take you all over the city. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets and great shopping nearby. The room was small and cozy but all we needed for a few nights stay. The bathroom is shared but was cleaned each day and was well kept.We will definitely stay here again.
Central location. Clean & comfortable.

"When a man is proud of his dog and shows it, I like him. When his dog is proud of him and shows it, I deeply respect him. Gene Hill
That's just it Tex! As gentle as your older dogs might be, sometimes they can only put up with so much! I know if I had left my pup with either my older Chessie or the Lab, he would have managed to drive them crazy. Pup is little. It doesn't take much of a reaction to hurt or kill pup. I like Nancy Pal's example best. I could let my dogs play unsupervised in the dirt road we live on because none have ever been hurt. BUT I DON'T!

I brought home a new little girl in August. I have 2 boys 4 and 6 at the time. Both neutered. Younger boy adored the girl, older boy bit puppy on face within 2 hours of being in the house. I do not outdoor kennel my dogs, they sleep in the house. The pup learned really quickly to stay away from older boy. Younger boy let's her tear on him and make him cry. I have to keep a leash on her to pull her off of him, he will not defend himself ever with her. She's just terribly mean to him. So I think you might have more problem with the girl being too hard on the boys. Keeping the dynamic intact can be hard. X-pens, crates and leashes can really help you keep the situation under control. As for heat cycles, that's a tough one. Some girls go in heat at 6 months. Some 18 months. Ask the breeder when the mother did, then you'll have a better idea of when to start watching. I check my girl every day. You can see from the photos, she thinks she owns my younger boy. He's like a possession to her.IMG-20120818-00347-1.jpgIMG-20121218-00250.jpg
I would def NOT house the pup with the boys in a kennel and be very cautious and observant of the boys behavior. I do put boys and girls in great big runs together , but I would not put my adolescent(17 months) in with my older aloof boy. It takes .02 seconds for it to go bad...
A little story , a looong time ago I had a puppy, that I bred, come back for training at about 11 months old, he's a puppy , right? Put him out with my 4 girls, (nobody in season) and an adult male, in a BIG yard. About 35 minutes later I heard a hell of a ruckus , and went out to find the WHOLE PACK taking jabs at the puppy. Apparently there was a scuffle with one and the pack mentality kicked in and they all attacked him.
I was fortunate with only one wound ,that required stitches ,on his side.

Hmm every-time I've ever seen any grizzly old males introduced to a cute young female, they pretty much fail in love and spoil them terribly. Had a Big boy male Chessie fall pray to a little tan-furball earlier this year, the things he'd let her get away with, disgraceful. Might have to protect the boys from her. Just my experience with most "Any" breed .

Why the standard market design refuses to die.
Bruce W. Radford is editor-in-chief for Public Utilities Fortnightly .
Why the standard market design refuses to die.
Hold on to your hats. The vaunted and vilified "standard market design" (SMD), once thought dead and buried, has been resuscitated, with all attendant chaos and rhetoric, but this time in the guise of a new proposal that debuted in early August under the code name "open dispatch."
This new construct, as remarkable in its way as Einstein's theory of indeterminate space and time, declares that electric transmission, long seen as one of a triumvirate of unique and essential utility industry sectors (along with generation and distribution), is little more than a mirage.
Rather, it is the sequencing and dispatching of generating units, accomplished in real time along principles of marginal cost, and with full respect for the physics and security constraints of the grid, that constitutes the real "service"—the single substantive activity and one that warrants full federal regulation. In this view, the three true industry sectors are: (1) generation; (2) dispatch; and (3) "load assets" (or distribution). Transmission, along with his sidekick "open access," becomes odd man out—not so much a function as a playing field, in which transactions take place.
Open dispatch frowns on the Newtonian concept of a precise contract path, or that transactions and service should depend on static measurements of grid capacity. The only useful guidepost becomes the dynamic and security-constrained market equilibrium, as dictated by the unit dispatch—the only facet of grid operation that is truly amenable to ironclad mathematical modeling, and efficient execution by computer software.
A simple notion, perhaps. Yet it mocks the Federal Power Act, plus a full century of legal and economic precedent. Critics see open dispatch as a poorly veiled attempt to resurrect the SMD, leading inexorably to mandatory participation in regional transmission organizations (RTOs), or at least formation of independent grid coordinators, in the style of Duke or Mid-American Energy. They decry this "second bite at the apple," noting that Congress had wanted to ban the SMD outright in the 2005 Energy Policy Act (EPACT), but removed such language only after FERC itself had agreed to drop SMD as a policy alternative. These opponents warn that advocacy of open dispatch could "re-open old wounds" in the relationship among Congress, state regulators, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)—wounds, they say, that "only recently have begun to heal."
The testing ground for this new theory is the notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) issued last spring, in which FERC took a surgical approach and recommended a series of micro refinements to the pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) it first approved in 1996 in Order 888. On its face, the NOPR proposes dozens of modest modifications to the tariff to make the point-to-point (PTP) transmission service that is offered to merchants more comparable to network service more often provided to native load:
• Capacity benefit margin (CBM) —FERC wants uniform standards, or else offer CBM as a separate service;
• Energy and generator imbalances —FERC touts ideas from Bonneville

I used Jan Ransley's kit, Parterre and Syndee Nuckles' brush #3 from her Artful 2 set. Fonts are Lobster 14 and Myriad Pro. All photos were lightened by duplicating the photo layers and using a screen blending mode. The photo on the upper right was also subjected to a cutout filter.
such cute photos and love your LO and colour scheme
Great layout. I really like your live hippo photo and the way you combined it with the photo of the kids on the statue.
Super LO - love the colors and the frame grouping!
What a page, what photos! I'm still figuring out whether that hippo in the bottom photo is real or not! Great job!
Great photos Xana, they look like they are having a great time. I love the colors and embellishments. Lovely layout.
I really like the stacked frames. And great combination of photos. Nice!
Great photos! I like the way the cutout filter turned out, too. Pretty colors and a lovely page.
Looks like a great day. Beautiful layout all around from the photo arrangement to the background and embellishments.
Neat layout! I like the colors and the scallops and ribbons are great embellishments. The photos look like your boys had a really wonderful time!
Nice choice of papers, looks like a fun time & a great shot of the hippo!

Full TitleEvaluation of Physical Function and Quality of Life (QOL) Before and After Non-Radical Surgical Therapy (Extra Fascial Hysterectomy or Cone Biopsy with Pelvic Lymphadenectomy) For Stage IA1 (LVSI+) and IA2-IB1 (< or equal to 2CM) Cervical Cancer(GOG 278)
The standard therapy for early-stage cervical cancer has been radical hysterectomy, which involves surgery to remove the uterus along with tissue behind and around the uterus. Some patients, however, may be candidates for less radical surgery that may be associated with fewer side effects and better quality of life.
In this study, researchers are analyzing the side effects, physical function, sexual function, surgical complications, and quality of life of women with stage I cervical cancer who are treated with one of two less radical surgical approaches. One approach is removal of the uterus as well as pelvic lymph nodes, but not the tissue around the uterus ("simple hysterectomy"). The second approach, an option for women wishing to preserve their fertility, involves removal of part of the cervix ("cone biopsy") and pelvic lymph nodes, but not the uterus.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have stage I cervical cancer that is no larger than 2 cm in size.
- This study is open to patients age 18 and older.
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Mario Leitao at 646-497-9055.

Bremont double award winners at the UK Retail Jewellery Awards 2013
Luxury Watch Brand of the Year 2013 and Store Design of the Year 2013
"It seems this British brand can do no wrong at the moment. Just weeks before this award was announced, Bremont was revealed as the joint winner of HSBC bank's Global Connections 2013 competition, which was set up to find the UK's most innovative companies. And it has now won its third UK Jewellery Award for its watches.
In the past year it has opened a workshop in Henley-on-Thames, which is where Bremont's assembly now happens and from where brothers Nick and Giles English, who founded the brand, are hoping to develop Bremont's first in-house movement.
On the night of the awards last year, Bremont launched its Victory watch, a mechanical retrograde with pieces of the HMS Victory incorporated into the case. just a week before this year's awards it launched the Codebreaker, an automatic flyback chronograph GMT movement which incorporates pieces of pine from Hut 6 at Bletchley Park – the centre of the effort to decrypt the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe Enigma machine – and paper from one of the few remaining punch cards.
Bremont is a brand that continues to innovate and has spearheaded the British watch revival. It is looking at opening a boutique in Hong Kong and intends on bringing its watch movement operation to the UK. As one of the judges said: "It's been a remarkable year for Bremont." And that's putting it mildly."
"It has been an exceptional year for this British watch brand. Its watches have won numerous awards and now it has picked up one for its Boutique in London's highly desirable Mayfair and Belgravia area.
Situated on South Audley St, right around the corner from British institutions such as William & Son and James Purdey & Sons, the store is a brilliant embodiment of everything that brand stands for. Walking into it is an immersion in everything Bremont and the brothers English, who founded the brand, are interested in.
It is part gentleman's club, part watch retailer and part motorcycle showroom. And totally cool. One judge said it was "brand reflective" and "immersive", while another said it was "smart" in a "great location". One simply said: "Love it."
And so do we, which is why it is a deserving winner of the inaugural Store Design of the Year Award.
"It's a total honour to be recognised by the industry as a whole, especially when you consider some of the established brands we were shortlisted with.
To win both Store Design and Luxury Watch Brand of the Year at this year prestigious Jewellery Awards was overwhelming. We owe a big thanks to the judges for backing Bremont. This also couldn't be achieved without the incredible support from our retailers, the press and our dedicated team, who on a daily basis, work tremendously hard to continue to allow Bremont to push the boundaries within the watch industry and help define us a brand."

This thread is for round 3 pics of your quilts...

This thread is for round 3 pics of your quilts...
For those of you mailing internationally, you need to be aware of a couple of things...
Customs forms must be filled out properly for the country you are mailing to.. we do not want to pay customs charges on any of these and are justified not to as we are not importing or exporting goods.. only trading services...
I usually mark mine "other"...not gift or merchandise, etc..
I usually mark the contents as "used craft fabric"
Mark the package to be returned to the sender in the case that it cannot be delivered.. we dont want tops lost in international mailing bin somewhere..
Also the cost of the item must be considered.. If it is over $50 value, customs charges will be assessed at the receiving end.. I would suggest you estimate a value less than $50. How can we justify this? Well again, we are not importing or exporting goods...just exchanging value for value..
Insurance is another matter.. I think that the US Post Office defaults to $100 insurance without extra fees.. I am going to suggest that we all abide by that and NOT add extra insurance.. gets us back into the customs issue.. how can we value it less than $50 and insure it for more than $100... I would like to have your input on this, but to minumize the impact of chgs, I would like us all to use $50 as the basis for the value of all tops, and take the chance of losing $50 in coverage in the case of one of them getting damaged or lost...
About tracking internationally...If you are mailing from the US and fill out your customs form, it gets scanned.. and a number is printed on your receipt.. You can use this number to ask for a trace if the package gets lost. I dont know what happens when mailing from the other countries. Will you girls please check with your post office?
Any other issues, please post them for the benefit of all...
And Im sorry that I didnt think to post this sooner.. before we had a problem..
The international girls might be able to help us out here as some of us are not used to this process. Try not to be judgemental when these things happen..but informative and helpful in finding a solution.
Babeegirl...go Sazu's center today..it is gorgeous!!! I might just keep it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Awwwwww, I got a notice yesterday about the PO trying to deliver Elle's center to me. They didn't leave it :cry: :cry: It is signature confirmation..so have to wait until Tues...since Mon. is a holiday :( Its driving me crazy already!!!! I don't know how I'll make it until then!
Patti, I am so excited that its got half way round the world already, this is just the best quilt programme I have every done. You are going to be busy with 2 to do. Good luck
Patience, Patti, Patience! LOL! I go crazy when I have something at the post office and have to wait. Haven't heard anything yet on my third center, or seen pictures of the completed second round.... :(
I don't want to be patient!!!! :cry: And why did it have to happen on a LOOOOONNNNGGG weekend? I am itching to get it because I want to go to Jackson to the LQS asap so I have time to finish up both centers on time...ya'll know I'm a slow quilter!! :lol: :lol:
Ladies..I really really really do want to keep this RR going until we finish it. Is everybody going to stay involved and keep up with their committment?
I am. I will do what needs to be done to keep it going.
I am, even though I'm not in your group.
I want to go to Jackson! What is the name of the quilt shop and WHERE is it? Do you go on Saturdays?

Quick Dishes
The Original Goya Mojito
An authentic Cuban cocktailIn the heat of the summer sun, nothing refreshes quite like a mojito. The classic drink (which originates in Cuba) is the perfect combination of mint, sugar, club soda, lime and rum that promises to cool you off like a sweet breeze.
Here, we rely on GOYA® Lemon Fruta Pulp – freshly-squeezed lemon juice that is quickly frozen to preserve its tang. Omit the rum for a cocktail that is kid-friendly. Or add a splash for a grown-up version.
Serves 2
Prep time: 5 min.
Total time: 5 min.
12 fresh mint leaves
3 tbsp. sugar
6 oz. club soda
2 oz. GOYA® Lemon Fruta Pulp, thawed
3 oz. white rum (optional)
|In cocktail shaker, or in tall glass, add mint leaves and sugar. Using a wooden pestle, muddle mint with sugar until mint is bruised.
|Add club soda, lemon pulp and rum, if desired. Shake until combined.
|Evenly divide mojito among two tall glasses with ice. Serve immediately.
No wooden pestle? No problem!
If you're whipping up a batch of mojitos and your wooden pestle is missing in action, don't panic! Instead, use your wooden spoon to muddle the mint. To do, flip the spoon and use the blunt end to firmly press the mint into the sugar until the herb turns dark green and releases its essential oils and fragrance.

BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
now that you mention it, i did notice a cardboard standup spider man in the toy section. because the photo taking didn't start until 10 am and i was there at around 9, i just figured it was a store display and not THE Spiderman that you get to "meet and take photos with". this is pretty lame, WM can't even hire people to dress up in Spidey costumes for one day?
Completed my second set of Order 66 packs (the openers) tonight. All caught up on TAC for the moment. Just missing the V-Wing and the Sith Infiltrator now.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
I bought a "Mini Mag" figure Display System I at the museum show today for $35. It's kind of cool (fits 20 figures comfortably on the four tiers), but now I want another one. If any of you are going to the exhibit on Sunday, would you mind picking up another one (black version) for me and I'll meet up with the cash whenever you want? Let me know, or else I'll drive over again and try to run in (you have to go through the exhibit to get to the gift shop at the end).
I'd wait until CIV, but I'm in a collection re-organization mood this weekend and am pulling all of my armies out to re-arrange them before I cull the heard due to lack of space. My mega army days are over now that the main clones from Ep3 are about done (and the non-movie repaints are getting ridiculous)- just waiting for the new stormtroopers and snowtroopers, then I'm gonna keep it small- since GG has taken over.
If you go to the show, I recommend the "Order 66" horizontal poster that is on display at the cash register.
I had to go back to Wal-Mart as my contact there called me at 3-something in the morning and woke me: my Alternators Ravage and Rumble Transformers had come in. There were at least 3 of each car (6 cars total) to a case and probably 4 cases of them to be made into an endcap. Very nice. Especially Ravage, though I haven't opened either of them yet - I want some more sleep!
They did have all the new Spidey figures that I had not seen before (Venom, Harry as "New Green Goblin" and the Galactic Heroes styled Spider-Man stuff (very large and diverse assortent!) as well as the plush "Buddies." The stuff really looks good and all tempted me.
This is going to be a great year for Hasbro!

Struck out today trying to get the Target Order 66 2-packs. Eagle Rock had nothing new today, even after a manager had told us all week that they were holding off on putting out anything new until today. Then went to the 2 story Pasadena Target and found nothing again. Checked the inventory scanner and it said they had some in the stockroom, but the employee told me they'd checked this morning for other collectors and found none. The employee then told me that April 8 is the release date, not today.
Also struck out today , went to WalMart in Daurte only Obi and R2 TAC.
Then did the Target near by and Pasadena and Eagle Rock targets. Not Much going on.
FYI: the Star Wars exhibit at the science center has the TAC wave, but they're $9.95 each (portion of that goes to support the museum).
Those Order 66 packs are gonna be a tough grab. The redshirts will tell you 4/8 or whatever, but you know they'll end up being put out before that, either from someone successfully running the numbers or a stocker seeing the shelves are empty one night and stocking them. The "street dates" on SW toys are a joke, pure and simple.
On another note, Eagle Rock Target is run/operated by the biggest bunch of morons I've ever encountered here in LA. And that covers alot of ground. I don't even hit that store anymore on a casual basis. I just don't have the time in my life to associate myself with street trash.

We can derive wry amusement from various US agencies' repetitive insistence that PRISM etc. log only call metadata and not "what was said". What they don't say is that NSA already log "what was said" directly off the fiber, and they only need Verizon's metadata to discover who said it. What makes it amusing is that to collect "what was said", they use a (lower-case) prism to split each fiber's light beam into two.
As a general rule, when a wide variety of unelected officials and their various press and elected mouthpieces repeat an assertion ad nauseum, it might or might not be technically accurate, but its purpose is always to distract our attention from a truth that, come to light, is much, much worse.
The overarching truth in this case is that whatever use surveillance may have for foiling nefarious plots, its chief value, everywhere and always, is in support of extortion. It's the basic currency of corruption. Extortion can force court judgments, congressional votes, cabinet and judicial appointments, bid selections, and resignations from elected office. Any discussion of pervasive surveillance that doesn't mention extortion is another distraction.

This painting is the second version of A ploughing scene in Suffolk (A summerland). The owner of the first version of 1814 , John Allnutt, a Clapham wine merchant and collector, became unhappy with the sky in his painting and asked another artist, John Linnell, to overpaint it. Some years later, around 1825, Allnutt admitted: 'I was foolish enough' to have Constable's original sky 'obliterated' and that, 'though extremely beautiful', the new sky 'did not quite harmonize with the other parts of the picture' (Beckett I, p. 83). He asked Constable to restore the original sky and, 'if he could do it without injury to the picture' reduce the height of the painting to match another work in his collection (Augustus Callcott, Open landscape: Sheep grazing c.1812, York City Art Gallery).
Graciously, Constable took back Allnutt's pictureand painted a second and slightly smaller version for him – this painting. He did this free of charge because he was grateful to Allnutt for 'buying the first picture he ever sold to a stranger' (Beckett I, p. 83).
Constable, or his assistant Dunthorne, made extensive underdrawing on this canvas, working directly from the 1814 original, following the first version closely. He gave this painting a cooler tonality, and added the rain falling in the distance. Ian St John has suggested that the bird hovering in the sky is 'a bird of prey such as a kestrel or sparrowhawk, birds still common in the vale' (St John 2005, p. 31).
The work was finished before January 1825 when Allnutt visited Constable's studio to view the new version. Allnutt visitedagain the following year, when he brought a present of three sorts of a particularly beautiful ultramarine, which was a generous gift, as the pigment was a rare luxury. In October 1826 Constable visited Allnutt at Clapham and spent an enjoyable day with the Allnutt family, viewing their picture collection and taking a walk on Clapham Common. He wrote in his journal on his return that 'Nothing could be more polite & kind', and observed that 'the truth is I could find that he has been much imposed on by artists in general – & that he was pleased with my conduct' (Beckett I, p. 85).
After Constable's death Allnutt continued to purchase his works, including pictures from the Constable sale in 1838: Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds 1820(National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa) and Helmington Dell 1830 (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Kansas City, Missouri)(Beckett I, p. 85).

Focus on Funds
JPMorgan Money-Markets Funds to Get More Transparent
The Wall Street Journal's Kirsten Grind's interesting item on JPMorgan Chase (JPM) money-market mutual funds this morning outlines a plan to give investors a better day-to-day idea of what their funds' liquidity looks like:
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s asset-management division will begin disclosing to investors the amount of liquid assets held in its U.S. money-market-mutual funds each day on its website, the company said Monday.
Investors will be able to view each fund's percentage of assets that are liquid on a daily and weekly basis, a move J.P. Morgan is making to increase transparency in its funds, according to a company release. J.P. Morgan says the change will take effect Tuesday.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Scarlett Thompson is definitely her mother's child. When Thompson and her sister, Melody, were growing up in Hatley, they were blessed to be in a home where food took center stage.
"My mother showed her love with food," said Thompson, 34. "If anybody was in the hospital, under the weather, had just had a baby, you knew she was going to be there with food. She used the gift she had in such a positive way. And it wasn't just her. My sister and I were a part of it, making the food and delivering it."
Today, she shows her love for family and friends the same way.
"I love to cook. I really do. I love the way it looks. I love to see the way it's presented," said Thompson, a registered nurse at Pioneer Family Medical-Amory. Before that, she spent 12 years at the Family Medicine Clinic in Amory.
"When I was at FMC, every year my gift to the office staff was to prepare a sit-down dinner and serve them," she said. "One year I made chicken and dressing, green beans, sweet potatoes and cheesecake. Another time we had baked lasagna, salad, green bean bundles and cheesecake. I always have to make cheesecake."
Thompson cooks five nights a week for her family, which includes her husband, Kyle, and her children, Emma Rose and Clay.
"When I was growing up, when supper was ready, we were all at the table," she said. "Not in the living room on a TV tray, not in our bedrooms. At the table together every night. Now, we do that here. We sit down and eat together. Mealtime is family time."
In order to accommodate her busy schedule as a nurse, Thompson finds it helpful to cook ahead and in large quantities.
"On Sundays, I cook for Monday and Tuesday night. Wednesday is sandwich night. Thursday is my late night at the clinic, so my husband cooks if my mom doesn't. We grill out on Friday nights, eat out on Saturdays and cook out on Sundays. And I rarely make just one of something. If I'm going to make meatloaf, I make two. If I'm making mac and cheese, I make two pans. That way we have one to eat and one for the freezer or for someone in the hospital or whatever."
Thompson credits her mother, Sharon Hathcock of Hatley, with teaching her everything she knows about cooking. But she admits that she changes things up a bit these days.
"It's funny how my recipes came from her, but I sort of veered off," she said. "She'll fry pork chops on the bone and fix biscuits. I'll roll my boneless pork chops in crushed croutons and bake them. I've just taken her food and transitioned it to things that are easier for me to make."

Played a bit with Linux kernel modules. Found out that writing modules for the kernel-space is not hard at all. Wrote a module which creates /proc/foo. Source at strlen.net/foo.c. Thinking of getting more information on how my UPS works and writing a loadable module for that also. kupsd would certainly sound nice. I tried getting data from my UPS (which is connected via a serial port) using minicom, on what is sent to the systems when power is out for example, but no such luck. It's an APC Smart-UPS 420.
Installed OpenBSD on my Sparc. Works well, openssh is very usable. Played a little bit with OpenSSL as well. CVSUP works well under SunOS emulation, with which I've played a while too.

Vol. 62, No. 6 (November–December 1974)
ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT: Civilized Man's Eight Deadly Sins. Konrad Lorenz. Trans. by Marjorie Kerr Wilson. 107 pp. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974. $4.95.
This is the translation of the author's 1973 work Die acht Todsünden der zivilisierten Menschheit, a thoughtful analysis by a distinguished zoologist–ethologist of mankind's pathological deviations leading to ecological, environmental, and social crises.
The eight "deadly sins" Lorenz describes include overpopulation and inhuman enclosures of persons in small spaces; devastation of the environment and loss of awe; the blind pursuit of technology and loss of the resource of time. These three "sins" illustrate ecological and environmental decay.
Lorenz goes further, however; his analysis is never concerned with the merely physical, as was, for example, The Limits to Growth. Together with the above, he catalogs and describes five additional ills, each of which represents pathological disorders of mankind, the appearance of structures, institutions, and attitudes which fill no natural purpose in the survival of the species and which, in fact, defeat natural purposes. This concept, explained in an introductory chapter, is reinforced by reference to the concepts of homeostasis and feedback. The five further ills include the loss of strong emotion and the inability to experience joy; the failure to preserve instinctive norms of social behavior and the rise of infantilisms; the break with tradition and the growing schism between generations; the increased indoctrinability of the population; and, finally, the threat of nuclear armament.
Lorenz attempts to trace these ills to the doctrine of ontogenetic conditioning as counterposed to phylogenetic evolution, and he does so with some success. The argument is strongest when he discusses "indoctrinability," weakest when he discusses "genetic decay." His claim that the eight "sins" are pathological disorders is well made; his use of the word sin remains unsupported, for sin is not necessarily the same as disease. Nonetheless, Lorenz's analysis coolly spotlights eight severe maladies; whether understood in the language of systems analysis or in the language of ethology, and whether it refers to "ills" or "sins," it deserves a careful and critical audience.—Jay Martin Anderson, Chemistry, Bryn Mawr College

Reviews of this property
I am unfortunately a bit late. I was from 28.09.-30.09.16 with har and hank and we liked it very much. Great apartment, great location and super nice landlord! We felt very comfortable and would rent the apartment again at any time.
Har was a fantastic host and his place was beautiful and relaxing to stay in. He easily accommodated us when our flights in were delayed. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
The place was beautiful and well kept with everything we needed. The balcony was a nice place to sit and have a drink at the end of the day. It is a quick couple minute bike ride to be in the canals and there are things to do see and closer as well. Very nice area that is easy to get to from both the city centre as well as the airport.
Lovely studio and the location is also fantastic. you can walk to the centre in 20 minutes or take a tram in 5. The big museums are a 10 minute walk away across the park. The balcony is lovely to have food on in the mornings and evenings (temperature permitting!) and while the building is on a busy street, the rooms face to back and are quiet.
Har was very helpful and friendly and is on hand most of the time if you need anything.
We enjoyed the stay a lot and would happily go here again.
We enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam. Har's apartment is well located in the centre of the city. Everything was as described and expected. On arrival we were well received. The studio apartment isn't perfectly clean but comfortable- thats ok.:)
We had 4 very nice days in Amsterdam and Har's apartment was a great pleasure to stay at. Unfortunatly the weather was cold and wet so we couldn't enjoy the balcony so much. To stay in Amsterdam so near the Leidseplein (just 5 minutes with the tram No.1) it's easy to explore all the fancy places. It was a pleasure to stay at this apartment, we highly recommend it! And Har is such a kind guy! Thank you again for your hospitality!
Lovely place! Har is very welcoming, and also very helpful! We had an amazing 3 nights! The place was very warming! The bed was super comfortable! I'd definitely rate 10/10! Would most definitely come back to Har's humble abode! Xx
We arrived early evening and Har was at the apartment upon our arrival.
He helped us up the stairs and to our room and kindly gave us a tour and some advice for the duration of our stay.
The place itself was really clean and cosy and the balcony was perfect for the evenings. Also, just opposite the front door to the building is a tram stop which takes you directly to the centre of Amsterdam and Centraal Station.
Perfect location, clean and comfortable and more than reasonable for the price!
Would definitely recommend this property and possibly stay again!
We had a wonderful stay at Har's apartment. He was welcoming, kind and helpful, and the apartment was situated close to the centre of town and next to the beautiful Vondelpark. The apartment itself was clean and very nicely decorated with plenty of information books and leaflets there to browse through. We would really recommend staying here and we would certainly love to come back!
WOW!!! What a lovely property!
We stayed for a long weekend and could not have been happier. House was easy to find, Har was there to greet us and carried our luggage up the steep stairway. a welcome bottle of wine and a very inviting room was waiting for us.
A lovely, confy bed, tv with English channels and Wi-fi all included.
Who needs a hotel, this was a perfect place for a couples break, perfect access to the main sights, Vondelpark, museums and all the cities delights - 20 minute walk to the middle of all the action. the balcony and kitchen were a god send and culd not have been made feel more at home. Although it's on a main road, the balcony overlooked some gardens at the back and could hear parrots from the park more than any traffic. Har is on hand to offer advice about the city and offers bike hire and discount vouchers for all main attractions. We will definitely be visiting Har again and would highly recommend this Studio apartment to anyone looking for a relaxed, independent break.
Thank you Har

I have to give it to my friends here in Alabama. I drew up what i wanted and they built it to the T. It has a water pump, 14 gallon water tank, fan, airing lights, bottom drawers (60" long x 10" deep x 27" wide and 60" long x 10" deep x 13" wide), and lights inside the dog holes. I am very please with the work they did. Let me know what you think. No, this particular one isnt for sale but let me know if you might be interested in one.

Time seems to have come to a stand-still where the green hills of the Galilee slope down to the most famous lake in the Bible. That is the secret of the power of this region to move Christian visitors. You don't have to close your eyes to picture Jesus here – you have to open them.
As Matthew 4:13 tells us, Jesus went from Nazareth, in the heart of Galilee, to Capernaum by the shore of the lake they called Genesaret. Here he gathered his first disciples – fisherman whom he found casting their nets from the shallows (Matt. 4:18). You can walk along that shore, in the very places where Jesus and the disciples trod, and see the Bible spring to life.
You'll want to rise early here, perhaps at dawn, when the ancient fishermen used to come home with their catch – or without it. As you watch the frenzy of the fish feeding close to the shoreline, you can understand why Jesus chose fishermen for his first apostles: "...the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake..." (Matt. 13:47). This was the backdrop for the feeding of the 4,000 (Matt. 15:32-37) and of the 5,000 (Mark 6:39-43), with a few loaves and fishes. The beloved stories of the miraculous catches of fish are remembered here, perhaps especially that in John 21, when Peter was reconciled to Jesus (John 21:15-17). The drama of the demoniacs in the land of the Gadarenes (Matt. 8:28-33) takes on new meaning as you stand on the craggy cliff marked centuries ago by Christians as the place where the pigs flew into the lake. This site, lost for centuries, was rediscovered and restored only a few decades ago by Israeli archaeologists.
Christian visitors love to walk the stone path created by the Ministry of Tourism along the northern part of the lake, from near Capernaum to the place of the multiplication of loaves and fishes. As you do, you can't help but feel the land vibrate with ancient stories of glory and simple faith. Look around you – in winter and spring the "lilies of the field" (Matt. 6:28) abound, and seeds thrive in their beds of good soil (Mark 4:8). In late summer and fall, the choking thorns of the sower's parable still overtake those same fields, just as Jesus described it (Mark 4:7).
In northern Galilee, mountains loom up on either side of the valley highway that once led to the ancient kingdoms of the north. Here you will find Hazor, conquered by Joshua and built up by Solomon. You will also see Dan, where you can stand at the High Place that despite Jeroboam's best efforts was no match for Jerusalem, and Caesarea Philippi at the headwaters of the Jordan, where Jesus asked his disciples "who do people say that I am?" (Mark 8:27).
These are the moments, as you become one with the memories of this beautiful land, that understanding comes to you, to accompany you ever after on your spiritual walk.

No matter what you think of her music, you have to agree that Rihanna looks good almost one hundred percent of the time. Sure, this is partly because she's naturally very pretty, but it's also because of her bold, colorful clothing choices. It's also impressive how she's able to transform from casual, to tough, to over-the-top as the situation requires. Come along with me on a magical journey through the Barbadian pop star's outfits.

The maximum error is greater than even the worst case resonator error.
Is it greater than double the worst case resonator error?
I've stayed away from resonators and internal RC oscillators to avoid errors, since some of my stuff operates at temperature extremes (>100F in a vehicle in the Alabama summer, down to -70C in a high altitude balloon payload).
In my opinion, a crystal is only useful if you want to have an extremely accurate real-time clock. A resonator is more than adequate for most general timing purposes as its accuracy is typically something like 0.2 - 0.5%.- Ben
70c is well beyond the operating range of most electronics, so I have no real comment on that. -40c is the lowest spec I see for both crystals and resonators.
Don't most high-alt balloons include thermal insulation or even heating?

Leonard spent a total of 14 years in the white of England during a stunning career that spanned both the amateur and professional era and, although it is his achievements for his country that bring him the most attention, the 40-year-old also deserves a special place in Lions folklore.
Despite rupturing a vertebrae in his neck during England's Grand Slam-clinching win over Wales in 1992, Leonard recovered remarkably to earn selection for the Lions tour to New Zealand a year later.
The Lions may have lost the series 2-1 but both the squad and Leonard himself did Britain and Ireland proud. The 'Fun Bus' started both the second and third Tests against the All Blacks and was widely expected to be first-choice in South Africa four years later.
Unfortunately for Leonard, although his ability to play both loose head and tight head with almost equal expertise made his inclusion in the Test match 22 a near certainty, he missed out on a starting spot against the Springboks in all three Tests.
Leonard dealt with the disappointment like a true professional, however, as he put the team ethos before his own frustrations to ensure the mid-week side maintained the momentum of the tour.
The Barking-born front-row forward skippered the side on three occasions in 1997 and was then chosen to make it a full house of Lions tours by travelling to Australia in 2001. Just as he had done on his previous two Lions Test series, Leonard featured in two of the three matches against the Wallabies.
His Lions career ended in disappointment with a series defeat to the then World Champions but Leonard still hade plenty to achieve at international level as England surged to World Cup glory in 2003. Now a member of the RFU Council and also working in construction, Leonard retired a season after England's World Cup triumph with only Australia's George Gregan having since surpassed his tally of international caps.
Jason Leonard's factfile
Date of birth: August 14 1968
Clubs: Saracens, Harlequins
International caps: England 114
Height: 5ft 10in (1.78m)
Weight: 17 stone 7lbs (111kg)
Leonard's Lions lowdown
Lions debut: Versus North Auckland, May 22, 1993
Lions Tests: 6 (2nd and 3rd Tests in 1993, 1st and 2nd Tests in 1997 and 2001)
Lions non-Test appearances: 18
Total Lions appearances: 24
Lions points: 0
Final Lions appearance: Versus Australia, Sydney, July 7, 2001
Jason Leonard (left) became a Lion during the 1993 tour of New Zealand
On his first tour in 1993
"My first Lions trip was a fascinating experience, although it would have been much better if we'd won, of course. What I found particularly enjoyable was the tour mentality - everyone sticking together, the cross-nation banter and the breaking down of national stereotypes.
"Even as a player, you end up believing what is written about other players a lot of the time, so when you meet them and tour with them for eight weeks, it can be a real shock to discover they're actually Ok.
"It's also good to get to know some of the non-England players in a friendly environment because, routinely, we tend to see people only when we're about to play them or have just played them. You're all on the same side on tour, which produces much tighter bonds and allows you to get closer to other players."
On his Test debut in the second rubber in New Zealand
"Playing New Zealand is always difficult. Playing New Zealand as a forward is more difficult still. Playing New Zealand in New Zealand as a forward is about as hard as it gets.
"As I prepared to do just that, with the Lions shirt on my back and in a Test match for the first time, it felt like one of the most important moments in my career. I knew how much it meant to win. If we lost, the series would be over, and if we drew, we'd have no hope winning the three-match series. We had to win.
"I had a good game in what proved to be quite a comfortable win for us by 20-7, which was the Lions' biggest Test win in New Zealand to date. The local fans were getting quite upset at the fact that the Lions were winning - they really don't like losing at home - and someone threw a beer can at Brian Moore.
"I didn't see it at the time but when we went into the next scrum I could smell this awful stench of beer and Brian kept burping. He told me afterwards that when he'd picked the beer can up to throw it to the side of the pitch, he realised it was full, so he opened it, toasted the baying crowd and took a slurp before throwing it aside."
Leonard played a significant role in the success of the 1997 Lions
On playing under Martin Johnson in 1997
"I think some people were surprised by the decision to make Johnno captain when he wasn't the England captain at the time (Phil de Glanville was), but none of the players were very surprised. We had all seen Johnno do a wonderful job for Leicester and knew that he'd be great in the role - someone who would lead by example. I naturally liked the idea of having a forward in charge!"
On leading the Lions
"The first game of the 1997 tour was against Eastern Province in Port Elizabeth and I was chosen to captain it because of my previous Lions experience. It was an important game as you have to get tours off to a good start and I knew that I had been selected because they needed someone who understood what they were doing, to get out there and ensure us a win. Even though it was the first game of a long tour, I knew that for the sake of the rest of the tour it was vital that we came away with a victory.
"I was pleased with the way I had captained the side. We stuck to our guns and had played the sort of rugby that we believed would beat the South Africa side in the Test matches."
On missing out on a starting spot in South Africa
"Lions tours are not about Test caps, despite what it may seem like from the outside. It's about a big group of players going away together and between them doing what is necessary to win.
"Players have bad days and I didn't have a great tour, so it was right that Paul Wallace and Tom Smith were the Test props, which didn't mean that I didn't support them every inch of the way, and do all I could to help them in training.
"I am as competitive as the next person but Lions tours are different. I knew I wasn't going to make the Test side so I decided to try and help the other front-row players as much as possible. I did everything I could, whether it be scrummaging sessions, lineouts or rucking and mauling sessions."
On what made the '97 Lions so special
"On the 1997 Lions, it really felt like it was our small, close-knit group of players and managers against however many millions of people there are in South Africa. It felt like us against the whole world and you felt as if there was a role for you whether you were playing in the Tests or not.
"Geech said after the tour that it was the comradeship and the closeness of all the players in the party that made the tour the success it was, and I think he was right. He said that some of the most important people on that trip were the midweekers because they won their games and helped the Test team prepare for theirs.
"The 1997 Lions were different from previous tours - we were told from the beginning that this was the first professional tour Lions tour and that winning matches would be the out and out priority. There would still be time for other tour activities like meeting local communities and having our traditional kangaroo courts, but the focus would be firmly on winning the three-Test series in South Africa.
"The trip to South Africa was hugely successful and immensely rewarding, even for a player like me who had certainly not played as well, or as often, as I would have liked."
Leonard's final tour came in 2001, 11 years after making his England debut
On completing the Lions treble
"To have the honour of touring all three southern hemisphere countries as a Lion is fabulous - the greatest honour in the game. In two of them, I saw the country, met the people and was able to put something back into their rugby to thank them for their hospitality. In one country, Australia, I didn't, and whichever way you look at it - professional sport or not - that is a real shame."


text: The Monastery of the Cross, located in the Valley of the Cross in central Jerusalem, enshrines an ancient tradition that the tree from which the cross of Jesus was made grew here. The monastery, near the Israel Museum and the Knesset, welcomes visitors daily to explore it and relax at its shady courtyard café. The tree is said to have been planted by Lot, who after realizing his sins, came to Abraham who gave him branches from pine, fir and cypress trees. Lot planted them, and they grew miraculously into one tree, in the spirit of Isaiah 60:13. The church, dating from the Byzantine period, is adorned with frescoes and an intricate mosaic floor. Behind the altar, paintings depict the story of the tree. In the eleventh century, the monastery was restored by the Georgians, whose national poet, Shota Rustaveli, is said to have resided here when he wrote his epic work "the Knight in the Panther's Skin." The monastery also contains a small museum of ethnic costumes and church art.

U.N. resolution draft alleges there may have been 'crimes against humanity'
WASHINGTON The White House announced sweeping new sanctions on Libya's government and suspended operations at its embassy in Tripoli on Friday, as a final flight carrying American citizens departed from the war-ravaged capital.
The Obama administration announced that it apply unilateral sanctions against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the government was working with international allies at the United Nations on other pressure to ease violence that erupted in recent days.
The text, drafted by France and Britain and circulated to members of the U.N. Security Council on Friday, also called for an arms embargo against Libya as well as travel bans and asset freezes for the country's top leaders. The six-page draft was obtained by Reuters.
Video: U.S. closes Libyan embassy, readies sanctions (on this page)
A vote on the draft resolution, which will be amended during closed-door negotiations, was not expected on Friday, council diplomats told Reuters.
Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy said the U.S. made the decision to suspend operations at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli on Thursday but waited to announce that until all American citizens had been evacuated.
Looks like President Obama wanted to get the American people out of Libya before he decided to propose sanctions against Libya. Which is an answer to you righties why President Obama has not acted. He was looking after the safety of the American people that were stuck in Libya with no way out.
Looks like the U.N. may take action against Gadhafi also.

Sara Orozco and Scott Brown, total opposites, are perfect candidates for a State Senate district with political bipolar disorder. Challenger Orozco comes from the northern part of the Bristol, Norfolk, and Middlesex district, where liberal communities such as Wellesley and Needham elect lefty Democratic state reps like Alice Peisch and Lida Harkins. Incumbent Scott Brown comes from the south, where rock-solid conservative bastions like Wrentham and Attleboro send three of the state's few Republicans to the House of Representatives.
The two candidates are, like the two parts of their district, ideologically split on almost every issue. With such a clear-cut distinction, in one of the few competitive races in the state, you might imagine that Democrats and progressive groups would have Orozco near the top of their list of priority causes.
That's starting to happen, but slowly. They realize how high the stakes are — Democrats would dearly love to deal a deathblow to Brown's political career, which many see leading to a run for governor or US Senate. But so far, many remain unconvinced that Orozco, a lesbian Cuban-American psychologist who has never held public office, has any real chance of knocking off the state's current GOP poster boy.
She is up against an all-American incumbent straight out of central casting. Brown is tall and model-handsome (he in fact did model at one time), with the best head of hair in the State House. He is married to WCVB-TV reporter Gail Huff, with two daughters — one of whom starred on the Noble & Greenough basketball squad (and currently plays for Boston College) and was an American Idol finalist. Brown is involved in everything good and clean-cut, from the Wrentham Lions Club to the USA Triathlon Federation. He is a crusader against sex offenders, for which he has received recognition from the US Chamber of Commerce. For chrissakes, he was unavailable for interviews this past week because he was serving his National Guard duty — how all-American can you get?
Orozco is not from central casting — she is more of an indie-film character. A first-generation American born and raised in Miami, daughter of a Kmart employee and a cement-factory worker, she worked her way from nothing to a Harvard Medical School academic appointment, and eventually her own psychology practice. She is a breast-cancer survivor. She is a single mother of twin nine-year-old boys from her 12-year relationship with another woman — which ended in divorce two years after they finally achieved the right to marry.
On paper, this doesn't look like a fair match. Brown does not appear to be sweating it — he has not yet set up a campaign office — and Republicans within the state organization are almost dismissive of Orozco.
To those who are convinced that Orozco can win, that's just fine: they want the incumbent to underestimate her.
But they do need to convince Democratic Party leaders, interest groups, and grassroots progressives that Orozco has a serious shot. "There will be a calculation about where to spend the effort," one progressive organizational leader says. For the moment, most of those groups are more focused on races with primary battles. After those come and go in mid September, Orozco needs to have some evidence that she's worth the investment.

Focus on Funds
Sam Zell's 30% Real Estate Holdings a 'Record Low'; Stock Market 'Euphoria' to be 'Adjusted'
Real-estate magnate Sam Zell had choice words for the stock market late Thursday. Stephen Gandel of Fortune has the writeup:
Sam Zell on Thursday at the SALT hedge fund conference in Las Vegas said stocks are due for a fall. The legendary real estate investor thinks the market is out of touch with what is really going on in the economy.
"Right now you are buying at an all-time high," says Zell. "And there are times when stocks hit a high, and then go higher, but that's when you have a good economy."
Despite dropping modestly on Thursday, stocks have been on a tear lately. The Dow Jones industrial average is above 15,000 for the first time, and the market is up 14% in 2013, which puts it on pace to have one of its best years in decades.
By contrast, Zell said the companies he runs and looks at are still struggling to increase sales. Beyond the weak U.S. economy, Zell said he was worried about problems in the Middle East and recent aggressive efforts by the Bank of Japan to stimulate that country's economy.
"That's not QE," says Zell, referring to the nickname of Federal Reserve's recent bond buying effort, quantitative easing. "I don't know what you call it."
Read about Zell's "record low" 30% real estate position and Zell's dim view on opportunities in real estate.

New to red claw crabs and I need some help
Hello All, I hope you can help, I have purchased 4 RCC's the day before yesterday, and I am stummped from everything I have read they are very easy to take care of, we have brackish water, the temp is 78 F, they are latargic (sorry my spelling is not all that great) and then this afternoon one went onto it's back and it's belly flap is open (unsure of what the techinal term for it is). I can not find anything on the net to tell me why. I feed them crab pellets plus a little krill. Is this molting or are they sick and the one on it's back is it dead?
Welcome to the Fabulous AC!
Unfortunately we have no profile on the RCC here.
They do need brackish water but they also need dry land.Sand or soil is best because it promotes burrowing.
Here is a link to some great info.

Ok lets try this again
Ok lets try this again
I'd say that the audio is WAY ahead of the video.
If you video yourself clapping your hands three times or so, it would be possible for a person to sync the audio with the video at home. Provided their A/V equipment has the ability to adjust for lip sync.
I wish my yard looked like that grass. One thing that might help is be more assertive with the whistle. It sounded a lot like the come in tweets you gave. Just a tweet! Try TWEEEEEEET!
Big loud whistle TWEET might help. You can also stop her on the way back, and start teaching her to cast with the bumper in her mouth, might help tighten the whistle-sit. Seems like she knows where she's going and really wants to get there. If you start casting to multiple piles or put the overs to the T, getting her used to turning-casting in different directions away from the known pile the Sits, should tighten up. On the video it seems like shes almost to the pile before she ever hears the whistle, doesn't give you a lot of time to correct.

Is there a lag between the sound and action by dog? Most noticable at the "back" command there is a lag before the dog leaves. So it is hard to say if the dog is stopping promptly on the whistle or if there is a similiar lag caused by the sound and video not being in sync.
Pls clarify.

Not looking for any names, just trying to understand how the dog was "put together"...FWIW you have already gotten some solid advice on this thread
Assuming no lag in the sound, to my eye, the dog is not responding crisply to commands: Dog is taking it's sweet time sitting on the way to the pile, and then getting praised for the slow sit.
Did you get to watch the dog work when the Pro had him?
Did the dogs attitude and slow sit looksimilar?
Is this possibly just an issue of now a different handler?
When I recieved professional help with the Yard work, during pile work, and T and TT,, very few times was the dig sent from my side..
In fact it was rarely. The dog was always sent from a front finish.
My opinionis is the dog has a slow sit becuase you allow it.. Now is the time to teach a crisp quick sit, and if the dog has has the steps required taught to him by the pro, then the collar is the way to enforce that "sit" command.
As far as the dog taking its sweet time leaving your side.
Again, did the dog do this with the Pro?
Did the Pro FORCE the dog to a pile (FTP)?
If so, and the dog looked crisp when the Pro ran him, I would go back and review Force to pile, and enforce the "Go" with "Back",nick "Back",from a front finish with the dog having good eye contact with you. If he wont look at you, dont fuss over it, just immediatly send.
Its also important to analyise what the collar force got you.
After a force, and you send the dog on the next back, did you see improvement on how quickly the dog took off? If so,, give a BUNCH of praise, If not, the next send use collar again, until you see and improvement that gives you a chance to praise..
So,,, If it were me,,I would go back and review FTP,, and when the dogs "Go" improves leaving your side,, I would go forward to Sit to pile, and work at getting that crisp clean sit you want..
and do most all of this review with the dog being sent from a front finish.
Just Goosers opinion..... for what its worth, from an Internet expert.
I had just assumed the sound and the video were not synchronized. If they are in synch then when you were saying, "Good," I would have been burning. You cannot tell the dog he did a good job when he's not giving much effort. An exception to that would be if the effort improves from where it had been, just to let the dog know you noticed the improvement.Assuming no lag in the sound, to my eye, the dog is not responding crisply to commands: Dog is taking it's sweet time sitting on the way to the pile, and then getting praised for the slow sit.
I probably would have given a heel burn on the slow start when you said, "Back," too. IMO the dog is playing you and not being a team player.
Ignore all of the above if the video and sound really are out of synch.
This is a later edit. I might have sounded like you should work on two issues at once in the above. I don't think I would. Either work on the slow goes, or the slow sit. Do not work on both of them at the same time, you risk confusing your dog, and he could be confused enough when you up the standard on him from what used to work.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Family: Trichechidae, Manatees view all from this family
Description Unmistakable slow-moving mammal with a blunt nose and a broad spatulate tail. Gray skin is often green from algae growing on back. Young nurse from a nipple under the flipper.
Dimensions 2.7-3.5m, 500-1650kg
Endangered Status The Manatee is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in the U.S. (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas). Hunting Manatees is now prohibited in the U.S., but for many years here the Manatee was hunted for its meat and oils, and it is still heavily hunted in Mexico and Central America. Population growth and unabated tourism have meant inadvertent damage to the Manatee. Its habitat has been altered by development, and too much human activity may drive Manatees away from areas of good browse. This large animal is slow and incautious, and many individuals are injured or killed by boat propellers (in some Manatee habitats, boating is now prohibited or speeds regulated). Other dangers include the release of warm water from power plants, which may lure the animal to areas of insufficient browse, and canal lock systems, which limit access to Manatee habitat.
Habitat Offshore waters, Beaches, shorelines & estuaries, Lakes, ponds, rivers & streams
Range Southeast, Florida, Texas
Discussion Endangered and vulnerable to collisions with speed boats. Manatees are the only mammalian marine herbivores, and feed on marine plants in shallow Florida waters. Become tame in protected areas, and accept human contact from divers. Occasionally wander as far north as the Chesapeake Bay in summer, and aggregate at warm water sources in winter. Favored habitats include large rivers, lagoons, and estuaries in coastal areas.
