Leinster fly-half Jonathan Sexton is desperate for his side to get their season up and running with a derby victory over Munster on Saturday.
The Aviva Stadium is the setting for what promises to be an exciting encounter between the duo just a week before the 2012/13 Heineken Cup kicks-off.
Joe Schmidt's outfit have lost two of their first five league fixtures and just like last season, they look to find form before Europe's action starts.
"We've come back from worse situations than this before," he told Sky Sports.
"When Joe Schmidt first came in, we lost four of our first five games. That was a pretty tough place to be.
"People were calling for his head. People were saying the players were not performing. But we bounced back then and the next few weeks can define our season."
Sexton is set to go toe-to-toe with Ireland fly-half rival Ronan O'Gara this weekend, but he has played down the match-up by stating the team result is all that matters in Dublin.
"It's not about me versus Ronan O'Gara," he stated.
"It's Leinster versus Munster. That's the way and I've never looked at it as a one-on-one battle.
"At out-half, there are so many other things going on around you.
"Often it's very unfair to compare player against player after a game because one pack is on top or the other pack is on top and there are so many things that you rely on.
"I've never really looked at it as a one-on-one battle."

Adam Killian, Diego Lauzen & Wagner Vittoria
In order to conquer jealously and strengthen their relationship, Wagner Vittoria and Diego Lauzen hail Adam Killian for him to join them in a threesome on the rocks and shallow waters of a Costa Rican oasis. The guys make out and take turns sucking cock; their muscled bodies compete against one another to determine just who the hottest really is! It is especially hot to see Diego and Wagner have sex with each other: Diego swallows Wagner's entire erect cock while Adam goes to town on Diego's hole! While Diego is worshipping Wagner's cock Adam pounds him hard from behind. Wagner then gets on his back so Adam can pound him while he sucks his boyfriend's cock. But Wagner wants to see Diego go even further, so Adam and Wagner double-penetrate Diego's meaty ass! The question is this: can he handle it?
Brandon Jones has some jungle fever when he checks out JP Powers in the fourth scene of "Face Fuckers," and he swallows his cock to prove it! Brandon isn't the only one hungry for black dick: D.O. is hungry for a hung piece of meat, which Hot Rod provides. Edji Da Silva and Tyler Wolf slobber all over one another's dicks. Dale Cooper kicks back and enjoys some oral service from Hunger Page's twink mouth and tongue. And Hans Berlin blows the 10-inch uncut cock of Michael Lucas!
Lucas Entertainment is hosting a weekly stripper-fest party every Thursday on Fire Island!
Come to Cherry's to see Jesse Santana, Adam Killian and Tom Wolfe perform with a LIVE SEX SHOW!
Despite being subservient to Jessy Ares, when it comes to sex Paddy O'Brian doesn't take shit from anyone and takes charge of the situation. Jessy rolls down Paddy's underwear and starts sucking the thick cock between the top's furry legs. Jessy works on Paddy long and hard dick before spinning around and getting his ass eaten out. Jessy is usually a strong, dominant top but here Paddy is taking control — he bottoms for no one! Jessy bends over and thrusts his ass up in the air like a bitch in heat, and Paddy doesn't hesitate to let him know who is in charge as he fucks him deep and long in his ass! Jessy may not have a lot of experiencing bottoming, but after taking a pounding from Paddy O'Brian he won't soon forget the experience!
Two of the most popular Lucas Men, Adrian Long and Mathew Mason, begin the fifth and last scene of "Face Fuckers," and you won't believe their skills! Adam Avery and Brandon Jones crawl into bed together and suck cock for fun. Hayden Colby gets between Preston Steel's legs and worships his dick. Alexy Tyler and Jason Vault follow up and flex their throats for the pounding they're going to receive. And Donnie Dean bites off more than he can Johnny (so to speak) when pick up Johnny Venture!

Construction-related items to be individually considered at PISD board meetings
By Conner Hammett, email@example.com
Plano ISD will make some changes to the way its board approves construction projects, it was decided at Tuesday's school board meeting.
Actionable items related to major capital projects -- including approval of bid awards and the setting of a maximum price for such projects -- will now be presented to the board for individual consideration.
The current practice is to place construction-related items on the consent agenda. Several other area districts, including Allen, McKinney and Frisco, already present bid awards, pricing and construction documents individually to board members.
"What we're approving tonight is merely the initial step of the process," he said. "However, it's a process that we estimate is going to be two $10 million construction projects. ... I'd like to have a discussion as to how we're spending our money, what we're spending it on and what we're approving so that someone doesn't come to a board meeting and say 'I'm completely surprised. I can't believe what you're doing and I don't understand what it is,' because we've discussed it throughout the process."
Stolle is referring to John Donovan, a Plano ISD parent who asked the board at its September meeting why the square footage in the expansion at Plano West High School seems to have increased since the initial proposal. An award for a construction manager at-risk contract and guaranteed maximum price for that project were on the consent agenda at that meeting, but no public presentation was made to explain the apparent changes.
Many bond-approved projects take several years to reach completion, and during that time designs can deviate slightly from initial proposals, said Superintendent Richard Matkin.
"Let's bring back every project that is a large construction/renovation project," he said. "Let's put it on the open agenda where we can talk to you about scope and we can talk to you about square footage. We can talk to you about some changes and maybe how things have developed, whether it's growth in that particular area or the changes in pricing from subcontractors and all that, where you feel very comfortable."
The renovations at Brinker and Daffron were approved with the district's 2008 bond package, which approved $490 million for new campuses, several building renovations and expansions, and technology and capital improvements.
The estimated cost of the Daffron renovation is $10.2 million, while Brinker is budgeted at $10.6 million. Cadence McShane was awarded both contracts at 90 percent of construction cost for each project.
Matkin said the projects brought to the board for individual consideration will likely be the more major undertakings of the district.
"If we want to put a drive in, I don't know if you want to see a picture of what that might look like, but if we could use some judgment on our part ... we'll show up with plans and drawings and those other things that can wow the audience as we go through our expenditures, our capital program," he said.
No construction documents, site plans or descriptions of the work were included in the public agenda packet posted on Plano ISD's website.

one 'n only Colorfix
MelissaWorks, But Really.. Don't Expect Your Natural ColorAs other people have stated, this product probably wont get you your natural haircolor back. If you dyed your hair, its changed the protiens permanently, so this only can do so much.I bought it because I have been dying my hair for several years. I wanted to go back to my natural blonde color, and there were several layers of dye on my hair. The red dyes in my hair were very persistant, and so I did this to even my hair all out. It worked, but I ended up with apricot colored hair. I then had to bleach it, and now have light yellow bleached hair that I will have dyed back to normal blonde.Personally, I wouldnt buy this product again. It seemed like it worked okay, but its semi expensive, and not worth the money. Go to a professional, or enlist the help of a cosmotologist friend if you want to fix your haircolor, dont use this stuff.posted May 4, 2005Link to this post
Minnie? Will This Product Also Lighten Your RootsIm wanting to try this product to get the black dye out of my hair. I have been growing out the black for about six months... will colorfix also lighten that hair?I want to apply it all over to be sure I get all the black dye out... but dont want to damage or lighten my roots which are a light brown?posted Apr 28, 2005Link to this post
KimSouthern CaliforniaNot GoodLets just say that my hair turned orange and it made my hair so unhealthy - crunchy to the touch actually. I regretted using this kind of product. I just hope my hair grows out quickly. I do understand that this product doesnt return your color back to normal; also that you have to re-color it BUT it really damaged my hair. I am not a happy camper.posted Apr 28, 2005Link to this post
SimoneUSAOne N' Only ColorfixI found this product to be pretty good actually. I mwas fed up with my dyed black hair and wanted to see if I could remove the permament hairdye off my hair. I searched and searched the internet and stores and found this product. Whilst I did not end up with my original haircolor, it did take off a lot of the permament hair dye and I have been left with a nice soft natural color. Just be careful though - it stinks and the smell will stay in your hair for a while (more so when hair is wet). This product is worth it if you really want to get rid of that permament dye NOW!!posted Apr 18, 2005Link to this post
BreaghIt Was OkThis product worked the fist time i out it on my hair (jet permanent black) and it turned red, then i used the part 3 which was sopposed to stop it from redarkening, but it didnt work, it redarkend to a very dark brown.posted Apr 4, 2005Link to this post
AudreyWorks PerfectlyAs another reviewer said... you cannot return to your natural color after using permanent color. Colorfix removes the *artificial* pigment, revealing what is left of your natural color, which will be something in the range of red, orange or yellow. THEN you have to tone that color. This product is not for people who have no knowledge of haircolor science and color theory. To that person, I would highly recommend a professional or a LOT of research... That said, this product works perfectly every time, doing what it is supposed to do, which is to remove the artificial pigment.posted Mar 31, 2005Link to this post
Patt HaugenRapid City, SDLightened My Dark, Dark Hair.My hair color was really very pretty, but it was just too dark for my face and age. I followed the directions for lightening one hair on the inside the box (written on inside, tear box apart), did the strand test, and then my hair. For my hair, I left it on 5 minutes, and quickly washed it out. One thing I did not do and will do next time is wear gloves. That stuff really stings, though it didnt last long and I did wash it several time. My hair looks really good now.Pattposted Mar 22, 2005Link to this post
BelindaLake Elsinore, CAProduct Saves The Day!This product was perfect. It removed all of the bad hair color. I was afraid I would have to recolor my hair aftwards, but after removal of the bad hair color, my hair looked just fine. Eventually I will recolor it, when my roots have grown out, but for the time being, my hair is getting some needed rest. My only criticism is that if you have long hair, you might need to order more than one box. My hair goes down to the mid of my back and I used the entire box in one use. If you need to use it a couple of times to get out all of the bad color and you have long hair, you may need to buy more than one box.posted Mar 8, 2005Link to this post
BethanyMichiganGreat Stuff- Always On HandI keep this stuff around constantly- I am a permanent hair dye addict and I also like to use Manic Panic and Punky Colors. When I need to start over, I can use color fix to bring me back to a blanker state, a cleaner slate. I have lifted bright blue, purple, jet black, bright red, pink, you name it. Do not expect to use this product and be able to walk out the door, however. It should be used in conjunction with a new color to acheive the results youre after, especially if youre lifting semi permanent funky colors! When i lifted the blue, I had greenish, reddish, blondish hair for a day. I applied colorfix again and my result was a reddish blonde that absolutly needed another coloring agent. I had my new color ready and it turned out perfectly.I highly recommend this kit for those of you who want to remove semi permanent wilder colors!!! With more neutral or normal haircolor, I would still expect to recolor my hair, but I have acheived doable results without recoloring right away.Also, keep in mind that the instructions are there for a reason! It might not necessarily work the same way every time based on the deposits in your hair from various brands and colors of dye!posted Feb 22, 2005Link to this post
AndiVAWorked As ExpectedMy natural hair color is medium to light brown and I have been coloring my hair dark browns and then finally black for the past year or so. I tried to color my hair from black to brown and it didnt work, so I tried colorfix. I had to repeat the process a few times to make sure I got all the black out and it worked just as I wanted it to. You have to have to prepared to re-color your hair to the color you want after using colorfix.

@Rick, so can we assume foundries like TSMC,GF etc will continue to grow ...
Chip market squeezed, but long term looks good
Rick Merritt
Sluggish foundry revenues this quarter are a good indication of softness in the overall chip market through June, said Jones. "We think the third quarter will be stronger, then Q4 softens a bit, so we're conservative this year. But things could change if the price of memory declines," said Jones, chief executive of International Business Strategies (Los Gatos, Calif.).
"In general, companies we talk to are fairly cautious this year," he said in an onstage conversation with Brian Fuller, Silicon Valley bureau chief for EE Times.
Among other factors, Jones blamed a sluggish global economy with growth slowing in China and Japan and Europe in a slump. On the positive side, he listed LTE, MEMS and the medical sector as long term growth drivers
"We don't see any long term problem in semiconductors and electronics growing, but underneath that there is a lot of turmoil," he said.

As costs of developing process technology grow, fewer companies will move to advanced nodes, he predicted. For example, he estimated the cost of developing a 14-nm process at $1.5 billion, up from $1 billion for the 20-nm node.
Chip makers need to get more integrated, perhaps bringing in house technology from reticle makers to help keep cost per transistor low through 10-nm, he said. However, it doesn't make sense for fabless companies to get into making chips until they hit $30-$50 billion in annual revenues, Jones added.
Capital equipment makers will see more consolidation along the lines of ASML and Cymer, he predicted. However, EDA companies have a strong position going forward with demand driven by multicore, FinFETs and other technologies, according to Jones.
Geographically, China needs to consolidate as many as 450 fabless companies down to between 30 and 40, Jones said. Taiwan "is coming up really fast," he said, but Japan is hampered by its slow decision-making process. "They have not adapted to a very fast moving world," he said.
Jones spoke after just returning from Beijing where he said the Ministry of Finance recently approved more spending on China's chip industry. The lack of intellectual property is the country's key weakness in chips, he said.

Brilliant analysis
@Rick, any particular reason why there is growth in Foundry market (+44%) compared to -0.5% growth in IC market ? Does it mean profit of foundry market is independent of IC market profit ?
His follow on slide (page 2 of the story) showed a shift of more wafers coming from foundries and fewer from captive fabs.
@Rick, so can we assume foundries like TSMC,GF etc will continue to grow in-spite of slowdown in economy because more and more companies are going fabless ?
the_floating_ gate
It might have something to do with TI
and AMD going fabless
TI isn't going fabless. They are focusing on analog and running only digital in foundries. They continue to invest in analog fabs.
The flat IC market (cited -0.5% growth) can still mean wide variations among IC players. Those engaged in advance nodes will receive most of the profits.
I understand average forecast for IC revenue (from about 12 other market research firms) in 2013 is about 6% (YoY). 2012 was about -3% average.

No More Foot Pain
I've been plaqued with fooT pain, searching for a comfortable shoe. The Crocs loafer is just the thing I needed. Great arch support, a nice drop to the heal, and soft cushiony sole. No more foot pain and I walk normal again. A great shoe and excellent service. I liked my first pair so much that I ordered a second pair. A third pair that I want is out of stock but will be my next order as soon as they're in.

santa cruz-my favorite shoe
these are maybe the most comfy shoe I've ever had. I wear them almost every day. Sometimes I wear them instead of athletic shoes to run or walk in. I'm not as crazy about the fur lined slipper version, but they are ok. I would like a smoother seam, since I wear them to work. I love them.
Not for people with big feet
I had bought a pair in a shoe store before, I have a big foot 12W and I got a 13M it was a perfect fit and had a cushion in sole. Most comfortable shoe ever warn. The pair I got off the net from Crock's has a rubber insole and a real tight fit. It is not as comfortable as my first pair. I like Crocks shoes but this pair I would not reorder. If you have a wide foot I would not recommend. Good deals off the net, but you may have better luck going to a store that carries Crocks

Resource for concrete moisture measurement continues to be an important resource for the concrete and flooring industries.
Rogue River, OR (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
Recent stats indicate the Concrete Moisture Measurement Forum sponsored by Wagner Meters is accomplishing exactly what it set out to do – providing a place for industry experts to share information and ask questions about concrete moisture measurement and other flooring information vital to the industry.
In December 2012, the page view count for the forum passed 2.1 million views overall as more and more flooring and building industry experts have found the concrete forum to provide the information and support they need.
Moderated by Ray Thompson, Jr., a Washington-based installation expert and flooring veteran, the forum covers a variety of topics introduced and discussed by industry professionals from diverse locations and backgrounds. It's a place to learn best practices and ask for industry input from the people that know all about concrete moisture content measurement, industry standards, and the implications for flooring installation experts, architects and concrete contractors. With hundreds of members and more joining daily, the forum continues to build a valuable resource location for news and information about concrete moisture measurement and RH testing for concrete slabs.

Ottoman Units of Length
The fundamental unit of length in the Ottoman Empire was the arşın. Three types of arşın were used: the mimari arşın (architect's arşın), the çarşı arşın (market arşın) and the endaze.
The mimari arşın was 75.8 cm, longer than the other two, and so named because it was used for measuring land and buildings. It was also known as the bina arşını (building arşın).
One twenty-fourth of an architect's arşın was called a parmak, one twelfth of a parmak a hat, and one twelfth of a hat a nokta.
In other words one architect's arşın equalled 24 parmak, 288 hat and 3456 nokta respectively.
The metric equivalents of these units are as follows: 1 architect's arşın = 75.8 cm 1 parmak = 3.158 cm 1 hat = 0.263 cm 1 nokta = 0.0219 cm
Arşın measuring rods were made of boxwood, ebony, ivory, iron or steel, and graduated in parmak.
For excavation purposes, another unit of length called the kadem, half of the architect's arşın and equivalent to 12 parmak, was used.
The kulaç (fathom) was used for excavations, boring wells, and measuring water depth. One kulaç was equivalent to 2.5 architect's arşın, and 100 kulaç was equivalent to 2500 architect's arşın, or a mil (mile), while one fersah (league) was equivalent to 3 mil or 7500 architect's arşın. A fersah was approximately the distance covered in an hour by a person walking at ordinary speed.
Four fersah was known as a berit or menzil, and two berit as a merhale.
Introduction of the Metric System
The process of introducing the metric system began during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz with an imperial edict and statute dated 20 Cemaziyelahir H 1286 (1869). Under this statute the metre was accepted as the unit of length, and named the zira-ı a'şarî (decimal zira) to encourage public acceptance by use of the accustomed term zirâ (an alternative term for arşın).
At the same time the are (100 square metres) became the unit of land area; the cubic decimetre, named öşr-i zirâ küp (tenth of a zirâ cubed) and the litre units of volume; and the dirhem-i a'şarî (decimal dirhem) or gram the unit of weight. Under articles 2 and 7 of the new law a standard zira-i a'şarî rule and a standard kilogram weight were to be manufactured from platinum and kept in the Imperial Treasury. The new law was to go into effect for official transactions in March H 1287, but the general public could continue to use both old and new measures together until March H 1290, when use of the old measures would be prohibited.
These initiatives during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz failed to bring the new metric system into widespread general use, and another statute was passed by Sultan Abdülhamid II in 1881. From 1883 metric weights began to be stamped. However, in 1895 the country reverted to use of the dirhem, and the metric system was not finally and irrevocably instituted until the Measurements Act was promulgated on 26 March 1931 after the establishment of the Turkish Republic.

Madonna fan gets probation for resisting arrest
NEW YORK (AP) — A former firefighter with a crush on Madonna has been sentenced to three years' probation for resisting arrest outside the singer's New York City apartment building.
Robert Linhart was convicted in November after being twice arrested in September 2010.
Police say the then-59-year-old Linhart was nabbed after he parked his SUV outside the Material Girl's former Manhattan apartment and spray-painted love notes on poster boards. He returned a few days later and was arrested again.
His attorney had argued that it was no crime to adore Madonna, the singer of pop hits including "Like a Virgin" who performed at last year's Super Bowl halftime game.
The judge on Wednesday also ordered Linhart to attend anger management sessions.
Attorney Lawrence LaBrew tells the Daily News that Linhart is appealing the conviction.

(Photo by Kris Melvin-Denenberg/Syntax) Penny-wise Central Boulevard School (CBS) fifth grade teacher Deborah Deasy developed a school-wide project called "The Million Penny Project." She designed the program to help K-5 students get a sense of how much a million really is, and to teach them the power they have to make a difference in the lives of others. And what a difference they have made! The students collected more than one million pennies for charitable children's research organizations. At the project's conclusion, students surpassed their original goal, raising more than $10,500 to be divided among 11 charities. The students and teachers researched various charities, and then voted to make their donation to 11 charities specializing in research for a variety of child-centered medical conditions. The organizations chosen to receive a $1,000 donations include: Muscular Dystrophy Association, Obsessive Compulsive Foundation, Feinstein Institute of Medical Research, NARSAD Alliance for Research on Childhood Depression and Schizophrenia, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Juvenile Arthritis Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Medical Research at North Shore/LI Jewish Hospital, Tourett's Syndrome Association, and Autism Speaks. The $500 of additional contributions, above and beyond the $10,000, will be made to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Fish tanks situated in the school's lobby served as donation drops for the pennies. Ms. Deasy and Central Boulevard students, faculty, staff and parents partnered with Commerce Bank to exchange the pennies for checks to be donated to the charities. Commerce Bank also donated piggy banks to each child in the school. An emotionally charged assembly was held at CBS to celebrate the culmination of the year long project. Representatives from each of the selected organizations were presented big checks from students. Ms. Deasy thanked students, parents, faculty, staff, administrators and Commerce Bank for their unending support. Each organization Central Boulevard School Principal Steven Furrey congratulates teacher Debbie Deasy for spearheading the penny drive.

I wrote this quiz quite a while back which I thought would be g=fun for everyone to try. Enjoy!
You are a Sybarite. You come from highly exclusive stock and there aren't many like you in the world. You always manage to keep your finger on the pulse and look beautiful whilst doing so.
LOL! I'm Tyler Wentworth! Which makes sense, because I only collect Tonners....
You love your career and being on top of your game but you also have lot's of friends around you. Plus a rather handsome gentleman on your arm.
I am Tyler Wentworth, and very glad
Tyler was and still is, my favorite doll, I transfer very well through her personality, my character. Lilly. is a Tyler of course, she is all I would have love to be
and for the handsome gentleman on my arm? right on the spot!! Hubby is the best !
very nice test !
I love Tonners too! They're so lovely, but I'm at a crossroads... whether to make the leap to 16" dolls since my diorama backgrounds and accessories are all scaled for 11-12". There's also a striking Avant Guard doll tugging at my sleeve. She's been pulling my hand toward the ordering mouse for a few days now, but she'd feel out of place at family get-togethers. ;>
where in earth have you found those adorable little cakes, Mark?
Lilly, they're not as elegant as these cakes, but I found the cutest little glazed donuts on EBay... they come in a variety of bright colors and look pretty tasty! http://www.ebay.com/itm/270839317525?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_...
Seems I'm Gene Marshall which is fitting since she is the doll that started me down this slippery slope!
I just tried the quiz too and I am also Tyler Wentworth apparently! I do have three Tyler's in my collection and I love them all. She is such a classy yet down to earth girl. :D
I am Tyler Wentworth.. how cool is that.. I have a Tyler with updo and red hair..I guess that's me lol! Love the quiz.. fun.
I'm Tyler Wentworth! LOL
That's only too funny because I collected those for years...but gave them up last year trying to narrow down my collection a bit.
Ohh no i am bratz. I don't like bratz dolls

"York junk"
I've been in a new house now for four years and have had to have the refrigerant replaced more than a few times, as it continues to leak out. After multiple attempts, my service guys found the leak in the "coil box". The part is still under warranty but labor apparently isn't covered. Then someone at work informs me they have a York air unit around the same age and have had this part replaced 5 times already! Sounds like a recall to me.
Satisfaction Rating:
"York Equipment"
I have only been distributing York equipment for a few short months, but I must say I would put it up against any brand on the market and it would win hands down. I have heard of all the coil problems when we started selling them and was told that they had moved manufacturing of those to Mexico and that the faulty coils were from there. York now has all coils made back in the usa and there have been no problems at all with them. I have had over 30 systems placed in service since I started selling them and have 30 very happy customers (I actually keep in touch with them) and have gotten many leads from those sales. York is also by far the quietest units on the market, especially the Affinity series. You can stand right next to them and have to strain to here them, a far cry from Carrier or Bryant. Lastly, in reply to a previous post, all York units are manufactured in the usa. Alot of the problems on here sound more of shotty installation than anything else, except for the Mexican coils of course which are now completely out of circulation.

"Garbage/Breach of Warranty"
A York was installed during new construction of home, 2 condensor failures in 5 years...at a cost of $650. Per replacement for "labor and shipping" is a joke of warranty process! Two other homes had other brands, NEVER failed! York is Pork!
Satisfaction Rating:
"York Compressor breaks"
I bought a house with 1 yr old York installation. The owner did not tell me that he had 5 yrs on a/c and 10 on furnace from Four Seasons heating & cooling in Chicago Il. Cooling stopped due to bad compressor. Four season will not fix it due to non-complaint yearly services which we were not aware. This whole industry is bad. I had 3 different opinions telling me different solutions. I have to call York and beg them to replace the compressor. What a shame!
Years owned: 3
Satisfaction Rating:
The coils went bad and had to be replaced. At first, I was told that the part was covered and I would have to pay for the labor. I was bothered by that fact so I called York and was told there was a problem with the coils and they would cover the labor. I think they should check these coils that have problems or contact the owners by mail or phone. If I had not called, I would have paid the labor.

I have two York central air conditioner units zoned. The first blue fin coil leaked the first year in one unit and the second unit leaked in year two. As published on the internet, York has issued a recall and will pay for labor up to 4 hours. The units are junk, and after reading all these reviews I believe I will have problems with units as long as I'm unfortunate to own them. The customer service at York are probably tried of hearing about these units. Problems are extremely rude and not the lease bit interested in giving any information. Why did York not send out recall information to customers?
Location: NW
Years owned: 9
Satisfaction Rating:
I've had problems with my unit every year I've owned it. I service the unit annually, but usually have an additional service call as well. It is like trying to keep an old car running just well enough to get you home. It has been like this since the first year I have had it. Our cooler weather in the NW makes it bearable to put up with its unreliability but it still makes me angry. I have a 12 year old unit for my house (a different brand) and I have never had a single problem. Don't buy York.

"Name means nothing"
This is a York. The unit started having problems cooling within a few weeks. The original company kept putting freon in it. They went bankrupt. The new company has also put freon in with correcting the problem. I am being told that York will supply a new condenser but I will have to pay for the labor. Since the problem occurred so soon after installation, I should not have to pay for the labor under these circumstances if the York brand has any credibility. All I want is the unit to work as promised and nothing else. However, repeated loss of freon from a defect not being corrected may constitute willful venting covered under Federal and State law and I am wondering if a defective unit was knowingly installed and might be considered consumer fraud.

The Adventuring Guild of Fair-River (RP-Recruiting)
A bit bare bones on the story/background aspect there, but other wise a perfectly sound character. Approved. Though I am guessing this is a dude yes? Alex is a genderless nick-name to most and there's no he's or she's anywhere in this~

The following takes place 25 years after the current events in the Fair River guild. It sadly must be declared non-canon due to the changing nature of relationships in this game.
The story:
Due to the increasing mortality rate in the guild, the Guildmaster has put a test in place. New members may only join once per year, and only a limited amount may join at this time. This year, the limit was set to 5. After the five have been chosen by a series of mental and physical tests, a large scale exhibition battle occurs. This battle consists of all the new members competing to the "death" (there are precautions set in place to ensure death is only simulated) against equal number of veteran guilders.
The rules:
1: All of the characters have to be new, and they have to be original. Although you are encouraged to make children of current guilders (Your own characters please, unless you have permission) this is not required. Especially for the newbs.
2: The battle will be a 5 vs. 5 fight using standard Battle! rules. This means fighting to 0HP and not 1/3 as some spars are done.
3: To avoid swamping Bribri for this, I will be approving characters, just PM them to me either here on the forums or on IRC. I would appreciate no overly complicated custom quirks or SMs when you're likely to use them only once.
After the battle if people feel like it you can play around with the characters a little, and others can join in if they feel like it and they have characters made for it.
If this is especially popular I may make it 6 on 6, but no more.

Special Moves
Second Wind *Determination*
Rufus continues fighting despite his injuries, Shutting out physical pain and forcing himself on through sheer grit and determination.
Second Chance *Last Stand*
When severely injured, Rufus will summon as much of his remaining strength as he can, forcing himself to fight on, despite his injuries..
Lead the Charge *Rallying Charge*
Rufus lets out a rallying battlecry before rushing his opponent head on, aiming to run them through with his sword.
Close Combatant *Swordsman*
Rufus has only ever used his sword and has become very proficient with it, but as a result, lacks any training with ranged weaponry.
Critical Strike *Reckless*
Rufus is a very skilled swordsman, able to severely damage opponent's when the opportunity arises. However his over-confident nature and reckless, self-taught style, occasionally cause him to make severe errors in judgement, often with disastrous results.
Rage *Berserker*
When Injured, Rufus becomes enraged, his strikes becoming much faster and more powerful. However, in this state he becomes careless and much less focused on defence.
Quick Info:
Rufus, a 6'1, Handsome solid black Alsatian with deep brown eyes. He has a toned physique with a few scars. He wields a Longsword typically resting on his back; and wears mostly black clothing with steel armor hidden underneath, with a long-coat on-top.
Rufus was born far up north, in a hamlet that doesn't appear on most maps, partially due to its small size and also due to the frequent number of snowstorms in the area. The people there were suffering from a terrible plague, mortality rates were high, and the already small population was falling fast. Bodies lay in the street, preserved only by the fierce cold.
A desperate cry of pain, punctuated the desolate village. Inside one of the small houses a woman struggled both against the plague, and the agony of child birth. While she succeeded in giving birth, not long after holding her baby for the first time, she passed away. The father, stricken with grief, named the child Rufus as they agreed and after burying his wife in a small, marked grave, immediately set off from the hamlet, the child wrapped up in as many blankets as he could manage. He was determined to take the child as far away from his plague stricken home as he possibly could.
Whilst his haste was a heroic gesture, it was also an irrational one, the child remained reasonably warm in his sea of blankets but the snowstorms ravaged the unfortunate father's body. Forced on by sheer determination, he walked for what felt like days before eventually collapsing in the snow. He was found by a band of mercenaries who were travelling the road. The father was too far-gone to be saved and begged the leader to look after his child. After the Mercenary leader agreed the father had enough strength to give the boys first name before passing on.
The Mercenary leader, lacking a son, raised Rufus as his own, but didn't give the child his family name, as a gesture of honouring the father who brought Rufus to him. His band only participated in relatively honest work, mainly involving protection and rescue. By the age of five Rufus received a sword of his own. The sword was for a full sized adult and was near impossible for Rufus to wield. Displaying the same foolhardy determination as his real father, Rufus practiced everyday with the sword, by 10 he was training with the other mercenaries, by the age of 21 he had become one of his adopted fathers most prized fighters.
Unfortunately whilst travelling along one of Caignwell's highroads, The Mercenary band was ambushed by assassins hired by a rival mercenary band, whilst the assassin's were driven off, they had succeeded in their mission. Rufus's adopted father was killed.
Filled with Murderous rage and a desire for vengeance Rufus abandoned his Mercenary brothers, aiming to track down the assassin's who murdered his Father, his only clue being the small crest engraved on the dagger that was embedded in his fathers back. After travelling for some time, questioning just about every person he met about the crest, Rufus learned that the assassin's main base of operations was somewhere in FairRiver. He set out immediately.
After arriving Rufus quickly delved into the criminal underworld of FairRiver, aiming to build bridges and gather information about the assassin's. However, by the age of 24, after three years of shady work, assassinations, interrogation and theft, Rufus's rage cooled and his conscience returned. This was not how his father would have wanted to be avenged, and by doing it this way, he was no better than the men he was hunting down.
Rufus, still small-time in the criminal underworld and a relative unknown to law enforcement, cut ties with everyone except his most trusted contacts who agreed to continue chasing leads on the assassins. Hungry for more honest work, Rufus made for the FairRiver Adventurer's guild. His vengeance would come, but until then, he was willing to wait.
Additional Info:
With few battle-scars barring a few small ones on his arms, legs and chest (which aren't visible when he's fully clothed), well maintained gear, and the strong, well toned body of a professional swordsman, Rufus is relatively pleasant to look at, if a little scruffy at times. He wears a tight fitting steel chainmail vest, covered by a steel chestplate, which is further covered by a black leather long coat. He wears black, form fitting trousers, a black leather belt with a small satchel attachment and black leather boots.
He is lover of fine ale and has taken to smoking a pipe, both pastimes of his adopted father; he often scents the tobacco with spices or oils in order to give the smoke a more pleasant aroma. He speaks with a deep tone, polite yet masculine, accompanied by a thick British accent.
Rufus is relatively friendly in conversation, years of practice communicating with, and learning from extremely dangerous people has made him very convincing in the arts of persuasion and deception. However being a mercenary most of his life and a criminal the rest, he lacks any type of formal education beyond basic reading, writing and arithmetic.
Rufus's adopted father, being a Staffordshire Bull, was clearly of no relation to Rufus and made no attempt to lie to his son on this matter. Rufus was told of his true fathers suffering, and he is sure his true parents loved him, but it was his adopted father that raised him, and that is the father he acknowledges. As long as he survives as his true father demanded, he knows that his true parents are satisfied.
Rufus is plagued with guilt over many things, his failure to protect his adopted father, the abandonment of his mercenary comrades, and his dark dealings with the criminal underworld. He only shares this kind of information with his most trusted friends and will often become very reserved and evasive if his past is brought into question by anyone else, especially if in public. Sometimes he will resort to lying or even aggression if pressured on the subject. He still carries the dagger that killed his father in his satchel, as a permanent reminder of of his goal.
Deep down, Rufus is a good soul, more out for redemption than revenge (even though he doesn't realise this). His desire for an honest life clouded by a hunger for vengeance.

Age: 23
Height: 6'4
Wieght: 210 pounds
Race: Dog (Samoyed)
Combat Stats: Hit Points:27 Attack:5 Defence:5 Vitality:9
Non-Caombat Stats: Agility:5 Body:9 Charisma:7 IQ:4 Perception:5
Fate Points: 0
Special Moves:
Frenzy (Berserk) - While he plays the role of defender pretty well, this samoyed is still very much influenced by his northern background, specifically the fearsome rage they can plunge into when they are provoked.
Heal (Medicine) - Life in the mountains wasn't simply wars. A lot of illnesses, a long with war injuries aplenty, have made some of Relincha's clan expert healers. A knowledge he shares to some extent.
Protect (Insolence) - Relincha adopts a provoking stance and taunts his enemies, attracting their attention from other party members.
Practiced Attacker : Whenever you make an attack check roll three times, discard the highest and lowest roll making your rolls far more reliable. This Quirk must be taken separately for attack and defence. Fatepoint rerolls ignore this Quirk..
Close Combatant: +1 more stats point to spend, can't use any sort of ranged attack. Having trained to be a hardy warrior from his clan infantry unit, Relincha cannot make use of any sort of ranged attack, mainly because his aim is deplorable.
Flexible Defender: When using the assist other action you may only boost DEF rolls but choose the -target- of your assist at any time rather then on your turn, even stacking 'unused' assists between turns if so desired.
Quick Info: HP:27 ATT:4 DEF:5 VIT:9 | A-5 B-8 C-7 IQ-5 P-5
Relincha believes it's better to wear heavy armour than no armour. Thus he is often found "encased" in his fine heavy steel breastplate, with a full set to acompany it. Under that he wears a simple white shirt and a pair of light trousers for more comfort. A basic steel helmet covers his white head and a backpack with several, personal and general, items can always be found in his person. His set of armour is only missing the boots, which ne replaced with a hardy fur pair he himself crafted, as a memento of his home. Relincha's signature weapon is a trusty and reliable spear made entirely of iron. He uses it to attack his opponets with cirurgical strikes, and can throw it at them too. However, the most important part of his combat apparatus is his shield. A large, round piece of wood covered with metal and adorned with the banner of his clan (the image of a huge being, that appears to be a werewolf, howling at the moon, drawn in black over the light blue of the shield) is his most valuable companion in combat, in offence as well as defence. He also has a backup longsword he carries on his back, which he occasionally uses instead of his shield to fight his enemies.
(Very) Brief History: Relincha came from the North, seeking to help the clan by helping suply his small hometown with the necessary goods for it's survival. His gigantic stature made the people from the South suspicious and afraid at first, but his lively nature and social drinking habits soon made those feelings disapear. He was just a normal caravan guard, hired to protect the trade between the Southern cities and the Northen villages, but he also loved to explore. While out searching a forest close to the capital city for game, he stumbled upon a cave, which he couldn't resist taking a look at it. Upon entering, a wave of nostalgia and bitting cold greeted him: the cave was unaturally cold for the local temperatures and this made him feel at home again. As he went deeper into it, he noticed that ice was actually forming on the walls, and a mild fog surrounded him gently. After a while, the cave simply ended up and Relincha noticed something glitering on the floor. He picked it up, intrigued, and upon closer inspection he was able to distinguish that it was a white golden ring, covered in mold, that had a beautiful saphire incrusted. Out of instinct, he put in on his finger and it simply felt... right. Like that ring had always belonged to him. Upon exiting the cave, he noticed the temperature around hadn't changed, even though the sun was shinning brightly. He imediatly knew it was because of the ring, and rushed back to the city in order to have it observed by someone with knowledge in magic. A historian and arcane master told him that the ring once belonged to a very old clan of the North, now extinct, but Relincha couldn't simple pass the opportunity for adventure, and he has been his search of this mythical clan ever since, shirking his duties to his own people, much to their dismay.

1: We don't use percentage here, so you're better off having Man of the North be +1(or 2) DEF against cold and -1(or 2) DEF against heat or fire.
2: Good person is unbalanced in your detriment, for a total -2 you can get a total +2, so you can give yourself +2 CHA or another +1 elsewhere.

Okay then lets take a look here. Only a few minor knit picks honestly.
First off the special moves: While you didn't break any rules here for the sake of effectiveness I'd suggest replacing Disable with 'Freeze' and 'Defense boost' with 'Omni-Boost' They're both in the SM list and are similar to the SM's you've chosen but are better suited for your stats. Remember the names are only place holders:they can be re-fluffed into whatever you want them to be.
Second your Quirks: The Charisma bonus from Good person should only apply to -positive- interactions with people. Diplomacy, negation. Not intimidation or bluffs. While the IQ penalty for 'Religious' should be raised to -2, with the bonus staying at +1. Until Soleil finishes her adorable automaton army I'm afraid magic and the divine are -much- more common int he setting then machines, meaning the IQ bonus to these checks is far more common then the penalty.
With those little fixes and he should be fine to go.

The specific SM's are:
Freeze: Select one opponent. Your opponent cannot attack their next turn, even if using a special move.
Omni Boost: Roll an attack or for defense, adding two sides to your die roll, as if the appropriate score was two points higher. Your next Attack and defense rolls also gain this benefit.

Character: Garrett Roberts; Charismatic Somali Swashbuckler.
=Combat Stats=
=Special Moves=
Attack Boost 'Lady's Scorn': Adds +2 ATT to his attack. His next 2 attacks also gain +2 ATT.
Garrett asks Lady Luck for a boon in combat, allowing him to hit harder knowing his lady is watching.
Reflect 'Lucky Strike': Roll DEF as normal. If your DEF roll exceeds your opponent's ATT roll, your opponent immediately takes the difference as damage.
Upon dodging an attack gracefully, Garrett uses the momentum to return the attack against his opponent.
Second Chance 'Playing The Odds': If your special move is available when you are reduced to 0 HP, on your next turn, you may make a die roll with a number of sides equal to your VIT score. You immediately re-enter combat, with the resulting roll as your HP total. You can only use this ability once per combat.
Just when it seems like Garrett is about to be defeated, Lady Luck lends him a helping hand.
Swordsman: Being trained for close combat, he gains an extra combat point, but cannot make ranged attacks.
Duellist: Chooses a single enemy to attack, and pursues them in a duel till they are bested. If they do not attack him, he gets +2 ATT to his next roll against them. If he changes his target without defeating them, he suffers -2 ATT for the shame of not finishing off his duel. (This is ignored for the first round of combat.)
Cuts Both Ways: Whenever his DEF roll results in a 1, he must re-roll. This causes his opponent's SMs to immediately recharge as he scrambles to escape their attack. (If the attacker has no SMs, or unlimited SMs, the attacker then instead gets +1 ATT on their next attack against Garrett.)
=Quick Info=
Garrett Roberts; Charismatic Somali Swashbuckler, with stylish hair and wears a white, collared, button up shirt, black nobles pants, a maroon sash, and black polished boots designed for all forms of terrain.
Garrett is a handsome and charismatic Somali Swashbuckler who appears to be about 25, despite actually being closer to 30. He dresses in the clothes of nobles, keeping his appearance that of a high class adventurer, despite not actually coming from high society. His usual attire consists of a collared white button up shirt which he perpetually leaves the top button or two undone on, a pair of black slacks that seem to fit him perfectly, leaving him unrestricted in his movements, a maroon sash around his waist, and a pair of black polished boots, custom made to give the impression of being dress shoes, but are actually designed for adventuring along difficult terrain.
-Other notes-
While the above is his preferred outfit due to it's simplistic nature and the fact that it allows him to move easily, he does tend to wear more appropriate clothing depending on the situation, such as a more formal attire when blending into high society, and darker clothing when visibility is an issue.
His sash is for more than just fashion, as it also conceals his tool belt. This belt is filled with little trinkets and whatnot that allow him to pick locks, set traps and also holds small gadgets that allow him to be as effective as possible when it comes to his trade. It also hides a small dagger which allow him to be armed even when he is not carrying his trademark cutlass, though his fighting style is not nearly as refined without it.
Being a swashbuckler, and a former pirate, he is motivated mostly by money, and while he does think himself to take the moral high ground most of the time, enough gold clinking together can potentially sway his stance.
Basic Background.
Born in the small coastal town of Bravucón, Garrett was raised to be a fisherman like his father before him. His family was not rich, but they were hardly poor. Still however, Garrett always found himself entranced by the beautiful women of the upper class who lived inside the walls of the castle. He worked hard, and on the side he played with his friends, fighting with sticks and pretending to be pirates and grand adventurers.
As he grew older, he started to make his games more elaborate, and further, more dangerous. He would sneak into the castle and explore the docks well after curfew. It all seemed like fun and games, until one night, a ship he was exploring was shanghaied by pirates with him aboard. He was discovered early into the trip, and almost tossed overboard. However, using his wit and his charismatic charm, he convinced the pirates to take him under their wing, though this mainly consisted of him performing all the menial tasks that the others didn't want to do.
With time, the captain grew to admire his bravado, and taught him how to fight properly with a cutlass, and just what it took to be a successful sailor, and a damn good pirate. Garrett's life under the watchful eye of the captain was far more exciting than the one he had left behind, and so he stayed aboard and spent many years with the crew.
Eventually, as all is the fate of most pirates, his captain was killed by another pirate, and the crew was scattered. Garrett escaped with his life, but found himself marooned for a few months on a small island with limited resources, though the way he tells it, it was a desert island and he almost died. He was rescued after a time by a passing merchant ship, and after making it back to land, he set out to become an adventurer, tracking down the adventuring guild of Fair River.

Character: Roanin Frostcoat, Siberian Husky.
Gender: Male
Age: 21
==Combat Stats==
==Roleplaying Stats==
Bod: 7
Agi: 8
==Quick Info==
Roanin Frostcoat. A Husky from a remote village in the Frozen North. Often seen clad by a hooded traveler's cloak to protect from the elements. Wields a Longsword and an enchanted Claymore in battle.
==Special Moves==
Winter's Embrace (Freeze): Select one opponent. Your opponent cannot attack their next turn, even if using a special move.
Imbued with powers gifted to him from the Goddess of Winter, Roanin grabs a nearby enemy and afflicts them with debilitating cold.
Cross Slash (Double Attack): Attack the same opponent twice in one turn. Your opponent must roll defense against these two attacks separately, and any defensive special moves only apply to one of the attacks.
Roanin cleaves his opponent downwards and then slashes across with his Claymore in a cross pattern.
Death's Repose (Offering): You may sacrifice your own hit points in order to heal another. Subtract any number of hit points from your current total, up to a maximum of your VIT score. One ally immediately recovers hit points equal to the amount you sacrificed, or all allies heal 1/2 that amount.
Roanin heals those around him by offering a portion of his own life to Skadi as payment for the boon.
==Character Quirks==
Elemental Attunement Ice: Add +2 DEF against all Ice-based attacks but take -2 DEF against Fire-based attacks.
The frigid climate of the north has given Roanin a natural resilience to the cold, however this weakens him to extreme heat.
Close Combatant: You gain an additional point to spend on your combat stats - however, you are completely unable to make ranged attacks.
Roanin has trained extensively with blades most of his life. He has no skill in ranged weaponry.
Tall and physically impressive, Roanin stands at a height of 6' 5" and is toned and muscular though not excessively. He is clad in a suit of black leather and covered with a hooded traveler's cloak to help against the weather during his adventures. At his side is a Longsword and a dagger sits sheathed on the small of his back. His fur is predominately black though he has white masking upon his face.
Another noteworthy feature is that his eyes are different colors, one dark brown and the other a piercing ice-blue.
Roanin was born in a small village in the north that experienced winter weather most of the year, the frigid cold made the residents of the village hardy and resilient. The village was peaceful and isolated, though Roanin grew up with stories about his forefathers, proud and strong warriors who once traveled to far off lands in search of battle and glory. Regaled with such stories, Roanin searched the records for more information about those times of adventure, and stories of the deities of his ancestors.
It was during one of his trips to the hall of records that he happened upon a tome detailing Skadi the Goddess of Winter and Death, and after reading with great interest found himself enamored with Skadi. Roanin sought yet more stories from the village elders about the gods and was particularly interested in hearing that a mortal could be invited to the realm of the gods if they were devout enough to gain a particular deity's notice. From that moment Roanin vowed to himself that he would earn a place at Skadi's side and began training in the way of the sword and studying the Goddess' teachings.
The law of Skadi was that death was not something to be feared but something to be celebrated, it was just another aspect of life. Those who would go against the natural order and raise the dead, undead creatures and those who thought themselves to be too important to obey the laws of death, Roanin vowed to end them all. He would bring a swift end to all who defied Skadi and earn her favor and love.

Hmm well the DEF quirk needs one little change:If the opponents SM doesn't -need- to recharge (Some bosses have unlimited SM's, while some Mooks have -no- SM's) their next attack against Garret is made at +1 ATT.
Looks fine! I will say your ATT is good enough that disable might be a better choice over freeze, though freeze is still the more reliable of the two. But approved none the less.

Hmm well the DEF quirk needs one little change:If the opponents SM doesn't -need- to recharge (Some bosses have unlimited SM's, while some Mooks have -no- SM's) their next attack against Garret is made at +1 ATT.
Added the change and edited my last post rather than re-posting.

Here it is again without the S, along with some Quick Info:
Bari Drastel, cinnacot hedgehog bookworm with a penchant for charged linguistic arcrobatics.
Also Blazer: a berserker defender ? Interesting idea !

Character: Kaladis Falithas, Russian Shorthair
Gender: Male
Age: 16
==Combat Stats==
==Roleplaying Stats==
Bod: 4
Agi: 4
==Quick Info==
Kaladis Falithas, a Russian shorthair from the countryside of Caignwell, he is usually found in a royal blue traveller's cloak with a plain dark blue linen outfit under it.
==Special Moves==
Alight (Aggravated Damage) If the attack hits, the person takes on 1 additional damage now and the start of their next 3 turns.
Kaladis conjures and coats the enemy in a magical fire.
Wildfire (Multi-attack) He can make an attack against every enemy he can hit
Kaladis conjures a fire that spreads around the area chaotically
Outburst (Disable) If the attack connects, the enemy cannot act next turn even with a special ability
Kaladis conjures a fire that bursts close to the enemy
==Character Quirks==
Unrefined caster +1 ATT when using wildfire, -2 ATT when using Alight or Outburst
Kaladis hasn't gained complete control of his powers so he can't focus on controlling fire for too specific things.
Kaladis Falithas stands at an average height of 5,9 donned in a royal blue traveller's cloak with a plain dark blue linen outfit with brown shoes, which he picked so it doesn't clash with his dark blue fur.

Well most of the mechanics seem fine, though your quick ref/actual stats don't match so I'd fix that. I assume the above bunch is the actual one yeah?
As for the quirk, neh, I'm not sure. I'm more worried about the semi-MinMaxish slant too it. Making your character extra good with one attack and always using it. It helps that this is Multiattack which, while very handy when fighting 3+ dudes, is pretty crappy on 2 or less.
For now consider yourself approved -with- the quirk. But we might have to remove it later.
Also:Anyone reading this don't start grabbing a similar quirk just because I okay-ed this one. I'll murder you <3~
Your character is also quite young, so don't be surprised if he gets treated as a 'kid' by the other PC's who are mostly in their 20's.
