Reading centre-half Sean Morrison has promised fans that the team will be doing their utmost to win their remaining three Premier League matches.
The Royals' relegation was confirmed on Sunday after their 0-0 draw with also-doomed Queens Park Rangers, but Morrison maintains there are still nine points and pride to play for.
He told the official Reading website: "Obviously people are disappointed and it's a hard one to take but, as the gaffer says, we've got to bottle it up.
"We've got three games to now – and we're not going to lie down for anyone."
The Englishman also had little doubt that team spirit has remained strong, suggesting that it could be a key factor in helping Reading win promotion again next season.
"We're not lacking in that at all – we've got an amazing team spirit here, the best I've ever been involved in at a club," he added.
"With that, and obviously the fans, we've got every chance of going straight up.
The Berkshire-based club know just want it takes to win the Championship, having done so only a year ago under the stewardship of Brian McDermott.
Current manager Nigel Adkins guided Southampton to the other automatic promotion spot last term, after getting Saints out of League One the previous year.
Morrison though, is convinced that this season's heartbreak will act as sufficient motivation to ensure Reading are challenging at the top of England's second tier from August onwards.
"Once you've had a taste of it, you don't want to let it go," he explained.
"It's going to be hard going back down, but I think with coming up and playing in those games it's going to make both me and the team hungry to push straight back up into the Premier League."

But They Didn't Read Me My Rights!: Myths, Oddities, and Lies about Our Legal System
Prometheus Books, 2010 - Law - 275 pages
Do the police have to read you your rights when they arrest you? Can you get charged with drunk driving if you weren't even driving the car? Do contracts have to be in writing to be enforceable? If you break up with your fiancé, can you keep the ring? Do you have to pass the bar exam to become a lawyer? As the above questions illustrate, we live in a society where the law affects nearly every aspect of our lives. Unfortunately, much of what we think we know about the law is actually a myth or misconception. But this book debunks many of those myths and misconceptions by providing an entertaining yet educational tour of our American legal system, including its many oddities. In the process, the book answers some of the most interesting legal questions about some of our most important, fascinating, and surprising laws in an array of areas. For example, the police definitely do not have to read you your rights when they arrest you; in fact, sometimes they can even interrogate you without reading you your rights. Moreover, you can be charged and convicted of drunk driving for just turning the key, even if you never drive the car or even start the engine! While some contracts do have to be in writing to be enforceable, most don't. The authors explain why. Depending on the state in which you live, you might be able to keep the ring if you break it off with your fiancé. And finally, you don't always have to pass the bar exam to become a lawyer; in fact, in some states, you don't even have to go to law school! Whether devotees of Law and Order, CSI, or Judge Judy, readers will discover much more about the law than they already knew—or thought they knew. Written in a lively, appealing style, the book is composed of self-contained chapters, each addressing a distinct legal myth, oddity, question, or misconception. Select your favorite topic or enjoy the authors' witty and very informative discussion of the law cover-to-cover. Either way, you are assured of being entertained, enlightened, and surprised!

During the last few years the abdomen and buttocks have received a lot of publicity. This is because a nice looking butt is not only sensuous but also enhances a woman's body. Brazilian butt augmentation is a process that results in prominent, youthful and sensuous as well as perky buttocks. Basically the process involves harvesting fat cells from other parts of the body and transferring them to the buttock area in order to create a fuller butt. Mostly the procedure is performed under general anesthesia by a qualified surgeon and takes approximately 1 ½ hours. Women who have little fat content are usually advised to get implants so as to enhance their buttocks.
Brazilian butt augmentation usually begins with the surgeon assessing the best sites to harvest fat cells. The most usual sites for fat removal include thighs, hip, abdomen and back region. Once the potential areas are identified the butt lift specialist withdrawals about 700 cubic centimeters of fat. The fat is purified by the cosmetic surgeon before injecting the best cells into the buttocks area. During the fat reinjection process hundreds of injections might be involved. This procedure is meant to fill the upper part of the buttocks in order to make it appear fuller and rounded.
The process of removal and reinjection of fat cells into the butt area is considered safer than other methods of butt augmentation such as butt implants because it poses fewer risks of infections. The process is also perceived to be as friendlier to the body as well as being long lasting since it involves fat cells. Cells are the most basic building blocks of life; adult cells are highly specialized for particular purposes. Some cells such as stem cells remain less specialized thus playing a leading role in the healing process since they are able to divide into a large variety of cell types. Previously stem cells were harvested from the body through aspiration of the bone marrow; however recent research concluded that they can be found in abundance in body fat. Obtaining these cells from fat is easier and they are more abundant since they can be collected using liposuction which eliminates the controversy over embryonic stem cell use.
Many celebrities and famous personalities have more natural looking and fuller buttocks courtesy of the Brazilian butt augmentationprocess .One of the events that fueled the demand for this procedure is the Royal Wedding where millions of people could not help but notice Pippa Middleton's attractive figure. The bride's sister enhanced figure sparked an increase in butt augmentation in Britain as well as globally. Other celebrities who have benefited from this procedure include Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.
In order to achieve the best results, liposuction is performed in the area around the buttocks to make them stand out. Usually the areas involved include the back, thighs and stomach, it is important to note that the very act of liposuction gives your lower body a highly attractive look. The fat is taken through a purification process which means that only a certain percentage of the fat removed will qualify for reinjection to the buttocks. Most surgeons opt to liposuction at least two areas of the body to get enough fat. During the purification process the best fat cells from the donor are selected and separated from the rest. These fat cells are the transferred to the buttocks area with special cannulas.
During the fat cells transfer small amounts of purified fat are injected into different areas of the buttocks. This is done at varying depths so that the client will get the highest rate of permanent absorption. Butt augmentation surgeons must correctly inject the fat using hundreds of micro-fat injections so as to achieve a natural, uniform and smooth appearance. If the correct procedure for fat collection, purification and injection is followed to the letter the results should last for long. Usually when the process is performed by a highly experienced butt augmentation specialist no touch ups or second round fat injections are required.
Slim women who do not have enough body fat but wish to have their butts augmented can choose to go for silicone butt implants. In order to have the implants inserted into their butts the surgeon performing the procedure makes a small incision in the crack between buttock cheeks. The silicone implants are then inserted into the tissues of the buttocks while taking extreme care not to interfere with the nerves. Once the incision is healed it becomes quite difficult to detect the area where the incision was done resulting in a prominent and round butt. Implants only fill the outer and upper parts of the buttocks. This is because it is quite difficult to fill the lower area of the butts since any implants inserted into this area are likely to interfere with the nerves. Only fat injections can be used to fill out the lower part of the buttocks.
Once the Brazilian butt augmentation has been performed a patient is advised not to sit directly on their buttocks up to three weeks. This ensures that they get permanent results; it is advisable to wear a special garment so as to prevent swelling. Slight swelling may be noticed up to six weeks; however you can resume normal activities after four weeks.
Advantages of Brazilian butt lift
– Fat transplanting eliminates the risk of rejection by the body.
– Most patients are comfortable using their own fat.
– Patients benefit by removal of fat from donor sites through liposuction.
– The method of fat removal and reinjection is more natural than the butt implants.
Disadvantages of butt augmentation
– Patients have to wait for about 3 weeks before sitting on their buttocks.
– Clients must don special garments in order to control swelling up to 2 weeks
– Patients must have enough supply of excess fat to be harvested.
– Patients might react negatively towards drugs prescribed or used during and after the process.
– Patients might require numerous touch ups which are performed between 3- 4 months apart.
– The cost of the process may be prohibitive to people who may wish to have their butts augmented.

Here are five nip slips that made headlines this year. These photos will have you adjusting your sundress and checking your halter tops all summer long. You're welcome.

OTTAWA, Ontario — Police say five people are dead after a passenger train collided with a city bus at a crossing in Canada's capital, Ottawa, at the peak of morning rush hour. Witnesses say the bus went through a closed crossing barrier.
Photos show the front end of the double-decker bus was ripped off by the impact with the Via Rail train.
It was Canada's worst train accident since an oil train derailed and exploded in a Quebec town in July, killing 47 people.
Via Rail posted a message on Twitter saying there were no reports of major injuries to passengers or crew on the train.

While this week may be freezing, it hasn't stopped people from talking all about bikinis. The new trend 'bikini bridges' have been popping up all over Instagram after a forum used the phrase to cause the attention — well you're getting it from me — and not in a good way.
A "bikini bridge" is defined as "bikini bottoms are suspended between the two hip bones, causing a space between the bikini and the lower abdomen," according to Urban Dictionary. You've seen the pics that show them all – celebrities like Rihanna and Heidi Klum have posted it on their Instagram. However, those gorgeous celebs don't actually have a bikini bridge in their perfectly-angled pics — does this make them less sexy?
The "bikini bridge" photos have been going on since the camera phone was invented, but when 4chan launched a "bikini bridge" campaign to try and create attention — it did just that. The site, a popular message board that specializes in memes began posting about the "bikini bridge" on their random forum (or "/b/" as the internet world knows it).
They wanted the reaction — and here you go. In my opinion, there are two points to be made here — first that you don't have to have a "bikini bridge" to be skinny.
'Bikini bridge' new selfie trend taking over social media
Do you think Bikini Bridge pics are attractive?
View Results
Take a look at Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Deena Cortese and Bar Refaeli. Just think about this for a moment.
Regardless of whether you like her music or not, Rihanna has one of the best bodies, ever. Every music video she comes out with, she's wearing less and less and we don't actually mind. She couldn't post enough bikini pics — but she doesn't have a "bikini bridge" . . . at all.
We don't really have to say how stunning Heidi is. She's one of the most famous models ever and ran the Victoria's Secret runway for 13 years, has posed on Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle, and was named world's sexiest model in 2008 by Models.com.
As for Deena, just look at the pic — she's lounging in a yellow bikini showing off her oiled up body — and she definitely doesn't need that "bridge" to look amazing! Same goes for Bar — she was no. 1 on Maxim's Hot 100 list in 2012 and dated one of the sexiest men in the world, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Overall, my point is that you don't need a your hip bones to point out to show that you're in shape!
Not All Women With Bikini Bridges Are 'Too' Skinny
However, every woman that has a bikini bridge isn't too skinny either — it's important to point that out. Guess what — having a bikini bridge isn't a skinny-girl thing. It's a way-you-were-built thing!
I can say, as a proud size 6 woman that when I lay down and breathe in, my hip bones show. In all reality, every woman has hip bones and if you pose the right way and get the right angle, your hip bones could show. It's all about how you were built, not how thin you are.
I guess over all, the point is that no matter what you're body is like or what size your bikini is, you should be proud of it. As for the site that created this to cause a reaction, well congratulations — you got one from me.

SACRAMENTO - Two women from Stockton, both Democrats and political veterans, took their seats Monday in the historic 2013-14 California Legislature.
SACRAMENTO - Two women from Stockton, both Democrats and political veterans, took their seats Monday in the historic 2013-14 California Legislature.
The largest freshman class of lawmakers since 1966 was sworn in, and Democrats have their first supermajority control of both the Assembly and state Senate since 1883.
Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, is one of 39 new members of the 180-member Legislature. She was elected by a landslide from the redrawn 13th Assembly District, which includes all of Stockton.
State Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, didn't find out until last week whether she had secured the 5th District seat - three weeks after Election Day. Hers was the narrowest margin of victory in the upper house. Her district represents all of San Joaquin County.
The atmosphere was festive Monday inside her new office where family members and friends gathered to wish her well.
"I am obviously thrilled," said former Assemblywoman Barbara Matthews, a Democrat from Tracy. "Cathleen and I were partners. I couldn't have served without her." Galgiani worked for Matthews when she was in the Assembly and Galgiani then replaced her.
"It's good to see her go on. It really does make me proud," Matthews said.
Galgiani, 48, received a text message from county Registrar of Voters Austin Erdman just hours before the swearing-in ceremony, indicating that her final margin of victory was growing as the last provisional ballots were counted.
On the floor of the state Senate, Matthews later said, "The last few weeks have been difficult - and scary - for her. In the end, she will do a good job for herself and for the district."
Across the Capitol rotunda, in the Assembly chamber, Eggman was soaking up the swearing-in ceremony. A week ago, she said goodbye to longtime colleagues on the Stockton City Council.
On Monday, she was networking with new colleagues on the floor of lower chamber and waving at family members in the packed gallery.
Her brother, Michael Eggman of Kingsburg, and her sister, Ellen Kisiday of Washington state, were on hand.
"My niece (8-year-old Alyna Kisiday) asked if today was important," Eggman said. "I told her yes because we do the people's business." Her proud nephew, Matyas Kisiday, 11, wore a bow tie (not a clip on) that he learned how to tie on YouTube.
"This is historic, a great day for the Valley," said Renee Hall, Eggman's partner of 28 years. "We don't get an opportunity for the whole city to have this kind of representation."
Eggman, 51, was the only freshman chosen for an honorary duty on the first day. She was part of an escort to the dais for San Jose's Nora Campos, who was appointed speaker pro tempore by Speaker John Perez. Eggman, still moving into her new office, also was picked as chairwoman of the Assembly Agriculture Committee.
Earlier in the day, The Sacramento Bee identified her as one of four "freshmen to watch" in the upcoming legislative session.
"This is so emotional. It's huge and very humbling," Eggman said. "Like many in this room, I was the first generation in my family to go to college. It's a huge honor to do the people's business and to help restore California to a place of greatness. I love this state."
Eggman also was proud that on the three procedural votes of the Assembly's first day, she was able to locate and manipulate her desk key quickly and efficiently. Her "yes" votes were among the first to light up the Assembly's giant digital tote board.
When the ceremony was over and the applause and cheering had died down, Eggman hustled off to a Latino caucus meeting.

What is congenital heart disease?
Congenital heart disease is a problem with the heart that is present at birth. "Congenital" is just another way of saying that your baby was born with it. "Congenital heart defect" is another term for congenital heart disease.
Congenital heart problems can be simple or complex. The symptoms and the treatment depend on the type of heart problem. Many people who have a congenital heart defect grow up to be healthy and strong.
What are the symptoms of congenital heart disease?
The symptoms depend on the type of heart problem. Many people have no symptoms.
Serious congenital heart problems may cause one or more of the following symptoms in newborns:
In older children or adults, congenital heart problems may cause symptoms such as:
Causes & Risk Factors
What causes congenital heart disease?
Doctors don\'t always know what caused a congenital heart problem. Some risk factors for congenital heart problems include:
Did I do something during pregnancy that made my baby have this problem?
It\'s normal to worry that something you did could have caused the problem, but most of the time doctors don\'t know what caused it. Talk with your family doctor if you wonder if you may have caused your baby\'s heart problem, but don\'t blame yourself.
Diagnosis & Tests
How is congenital heart disease diagnosed?
Severe heart problems usually are diagnosed during pregnancy during an ultrasound test or right after the baby is born. Less severe heart problems may not be found until the child is older, or even in adulthood.
What about tests?
Several tests can show what kind of heart disease your baby has. Tests can also help your doctor see how well the heart is working. Here are some tests your baby might have:
What is the treatment for congenital heart disease?
The treatment depends on the heart problem and how severe it is. Some people don\'t need any treatment. Other heart problems need treatment with medicine, procedures, or surgery. Your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options, or the treatment options for your child.
If your baby needs medicine, it\'s very important to give the medicine just the way your doctor tells you to. Try not to skip a dose. If you do forget a dose, call your doctor to find out if you should give an extra dose.
If your baby needs surgery, your baby will probably stay in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU) for a few days after the surgery, so the doctors and nurses can keep a close watch. Tubes and machines keep track of your child\'s condition. They don\'t cause any pain. Many children are back to normal just a few days after heart surgery.
Can congenital heart disease cause other problems?
Some people who have congenital heart problems are at a higher risk for other heart problems, including the following:

BOSTON — The last time the Bruins skated in a game on home ice, they capped their 4-1 victory over Atlanta with a line brawl that most agree was a bonding experience for a slumping squad.
Tonight they'll try to muster the same amount of energy and emotion they used against Atlanta last month and throughout their 3-0-2 road trip when they host the Minnesota Wild at TD Garden.
Amazingly, winger Brad Marchand — Boston's resident mega-pest — wasn't around to participate in the physical festivities that night .He was out of the lineup because of "general soreness" that kept him on the sidelines for a total of three games.
"It was pretty rough," Marchand said today after the Bruins' optional morning skate about watching that game in a suit. "Those are always fun games to be in, especially when a fight like that happens. But also especially because everyone played so well and was flying out there."
Marchand returned to the lineup Dec. 28 at Tampa Bay. He scored a goal that night and now has two goals in his last four. However, Monday night's win in Toronto was an off night for Marchand and his "Merlot Line" mates Shawn Thornton and Gregory Campbell. The trio didn't generate enough through two periods to earn more than one shift of third-period action and all three players finished with less than nine minutes of ice time logged.
Over the course of this season, ineffective nights have been rare by Boston's energy line. And when they have occurred, the next game usually serves as a bounce-back performance by the Bruins' gritty trio.
"They probably didn't have their best game. At the same time I think this is a line that has been very good for us, and we know that they're going to bring something to our team on most nights," said head coach Claude Julien after the skate.
With Marchand's soreness a thing of the past and Campbell that much stronger some four days removed from missing two games with an illness, Marchand and the "Merlot Line" should be ready to pour it on against the Wild.

CVE-2014-3859: BIND named can crash due to a defect in EDNS printing processing
- Updated on 18 Apr 2016
- 3 minutes to read
A specially crafted query sent to a BIND nameserver can cause it to crash with a REQUIRE assertion error.
Document Version:
Posting date:

Versions affected:
A query specially crafted to exploit a defect in EDNS option processing can cause named to terminate with an assertion failure.
Both authoritative and recursive servers are vulnerable to this defect. Exploitation of this condition can cause a denial of service in nameservers running affected versions of BIND 9.10. Access Control Lists do not provide protection.
The bug which causes this condition is in libdns; consequently in addition to the named server process other applications (for example: dig and delv) built using the libdns library from the affected source distributions can also be forced to crash with assertion failures triggered in the same fashion.

Press Release
Woman Indicted for embezzlement from East High School
May 31, 2013
On May 24th, 2013, 45 year old Gayle White was indicted for the theft of over $80,000 from East High School between August of 2006 and June of 2009. White worked at East High School during that period as the activities secretary before leaving to work at Chugiak High School. An internal audit by the Anchorage School District showed numerous instances of accounting discrepancies for cash funds handled by White. After a thorough review of the accounting records, a report was made to the Anchorage Police Department.
White was indicted on two counts of scheme to defraud, theft in the first degree, and misapplication of property. The indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt
If convicted, White faces a sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $100,000. Sentencing is based on the judge's view of the seriousness of the crime and the offender's criminal history, if any.
CONTACT: Assistant District Attorney Will Taylor @ (907) 269-6373 or firstname.lastname@example.com at the Anchorage District Attorney's Office.

Rokita Appoints Interim Chief Counsel
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today appointed Jerold Bonnet as his office's Chief Counsel. A native of Indiana, Bonnet had been in private practice in New Orleans, Louisiana until September when he and his family were displaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Following the devastating storm, Bonnet moved his family to Indianapolis to live with family until they are able to return to their home in New Orleans. Bonnet will provide legal advice to Rokita in conjunction with attorneys in the Secretary of State's office on a variety of issues concerning election, securities and business law.
Bonnet, a resident of Indianapolis and New Orleans, has managed his private legal practice in New Orleans since 1999. Until Katrina, Bonnet advised clients ranging from Verizon Wireless to the City of New Orleans' Housing Development Unit. Prior to going into private practice, Bonnet served as an in-house counsel for several corporations in New Orleans and Dallas, Texas. Bonnet holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Indiana University, a law degree from the University of Tennessee, a Masters in Business Administration from the University of New Orleans, and a Masters in International Business and Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas.
"Jerry's expertise in advising clients in both the private and public sector will be an invaluable addition to our team," Rokita said. "Our office can only benefit by having a talent of Jerry's caliber, even if it is only for the six months or so until he and his family are able to return home."
"I am enthusiastic about the chance to serve my home state of Indiana for the next several months and intend to jump right in as a member of Secretary Rokita's staff," Bonnet said. "A position like this is rare unto itself, and the fact that it comes in the wake of an event such as Hurricane Katrina is even more unexpected. I am extremely grateful to Secretary Rokita and his office for giving me this opportunity."

PORTLAND, OREGON -- Samsung has refused to honor a 3 year warranty for my SyncMaster monitor, so I'm telling the story to warn others. I purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW monitor on January 22, 2010. Twenty eight months later in May 2012, colors were washed out in the center of the monitor. Since I had the included documentation detailing a 3-year Parts & Service warranty with 8 months left, I called Samsung. They seemed polite and responsive, but asked me for my receipt to update my warranty. I e-mailed them a scanned copy of the receipt. Then they told me (by phone) my monitor only had a 1 year warranty.
I protested and e-mailed a copy of the warranty, which clearly said 3 years. They responded that a similar model had a 3 year warranty, but mine only 1 year. I had gotten a "generic" warranty. I said they were misrepresenting their warranty periods in their own documents.
So I was allowed to talk to the executive customer service representative, but he could not find the second e-mail with the scanned 3-year warranty, although it was sent to the correct address. After three periods on extended hold, he still maintained my model's warranty was only 1 year. I told him I would send him the scanned warranty AGAIN, and he AGAIN gave me the same e-mail address. But even so, the best he could do was give me contact information for a local repair technician. I said, no thanks.
Interestingly, at each phone encounter, the new Samsung representative could not find notes or e-mails from the previous contact, even after I provided the transaction number. After I pushed and told them the story again, they would put me on hold, and, magically, oh yes, there were the notes! Except in the final encounter. They couldn't even keep their records straight for one single transaction. And they always called me rather than e-mailed, so there is no paper trail from them.
So, if you get a document in your Samsung packaging that gives you warranty information, better check it out. It could be just "generic" and therefore mean a lot less than you think it does. Samsung doesn't care what it says.
Required for computer graphics business, the monitor broke down within the first few months. Paying extra for a "replacement" warranty apparently doesn't really mean anything. Had to send it in for repair, waited a couple of weeks, got it back. Then, same problem occurs again. This time, the e-mail notification is sent that it is repaired, but has no tracking number, nor delivery date, and is listed as a customer pick-up. Unable to drive 1200 miles to pick it up myself, I contacted Samsung to find out what the status of the monitor is... and if they made a mistake regarding the customer pick-up part of the repair notification.
Come to find out that it Samsung Customer Service is unable to discover what the "real" status is of my monitor. I am told to call back. In the meantime, I found the phone number of the repair center, and they inform me that they are waiting for a part, and it hasn't been fixed. Another repair notification shows up in my e-mail in-box. This time, I am denied access to view the ticket. I call. Now, they admit that the Monitor is still at the service center, but they have no idea when it will be sent back to me.
I am invited to call around myself, to try to figure out for myself "when" I will have my monitor returned, all the while, I am explaining to Samsung that as long as that monitor is not working, my business ceases. I begin to lose my own clients, which obviously means nothing to Samsung. Always know that something is not right when asking for the Corporate Phone Number and the customer service representative says they don't have it.
Samsung, has no idea what's going on, and expect me to do their job, and can't explain why it was necessary for me to spend extra money for a replacement warranty purchased to avoid this exact situation. Next purchase will NOT be of ANY Samsung Products.
I purchased a Samsung monitor less than a year ago and it started blinking. I called their customer service (warranty still applied) and they said they would replace it with another model, since they were no longer making this one. I got a case ID and was told to expect an e-mail with a choice of models for me to pick from. The replacement would then be shipped to a UPS service near me.
Well, I've waited for that e-mail and it never came. So a couple of days later I called them and was transferred to their "Voice of Concern" department. After waiting on hold for 20 minutes or so, the call was dropped. This happened three more times. When I called for the fifth time, I did reach someone at that department. The lady told me I wouldn't be receiving a replacement, because they were out of stock. I said "how can you be out of stock of all your models. I was told I will get a list of models to choose from." "We are out of stock", period, I was told.
Sending it in for repair was now my only option. I asked her "why was I never told this? I'm running a business on this computer and I've been waiting for a sign of life from them for a couple of weeks." She had no answer. So now they were going to send me a shipping label through e-mail. Guess what? Their computer froze as we were speaking so the e-mail never arrived. It's a day later and the e-mail is still not here.
I asked her to please communicate with me and let me know what the status of my case is, after her computer comes back to life. I told her I really don't want to have to call for the sixth time - I am a busy professional person who simply cannot deal with a company like that. She promised I would hear from her as long as her computer came back on.
I find this absolutely below any acceptable level of service. To have a customer call five times about an issue is inexcusable, especially since even then the issue remained unresolved. A lemon to being with, dropped phone lines, freezing computers, out of stock inventory, promises not kept. I will never buy their product again.
MT. ARLINGTON, NEW JERSEY -- I have been trying to resolve an issue regarding two Samsung T190 SyncMaster monitors that were purchased new but were received as defective. I contacted the company on Nov. 22, 2008 regarding my defective monitors. There is a three year warranty on each monitor and Samsung acknowledged responsibility. They said they would send a replacement immediately. I waited and waited and finally after making a call after almost two weeks to their Executive Customer Relations division they finally sent me are placement monitor but forgot to send the UPS return label to send back the defective monitor.
I called again and they sent me a label through the internet after waiting another two weeks. The only problem was that the replacement monitor they sent me was also defective. I made another call and spent literally at this point (30) hours on the telephone on "HOLD". They sent me a return label for the replacement monitor, I believe after a week. No follow up during this entire process. I had to keep calling and calling!!! I am at this point (8) weeks in this process and I have not received a UPS return label for the 2nd defective monitor. I called several more times and they said they would send me a label but it could take a couple of weeks!
I still haven't received my promised refund on the first monitor and after calling again I was told it would take a couple of more weeks. I can't believe that a major corporation such a Samsung can run their warranty business like this!!!! What a disgrace! I am appalled by their Executive Customer Relations division's professionalism, lack of courteously and outright business common sense! It's a wonder that their whole company doesn't go bankrupt! Be careful about buying a Samsung product. Make sure you have plenty of patience if something goes wrong. You will be waiting forever for any CUSTOMER SATISFACTION! A VERY, VERY, UNHAPPY CUSTOMER!
I have filed a complaint with the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, Consumer Division recently and I am waiting for a response.
The 204B monitor is known as a "problem" and is no longer being manufactured according to one of the "customer service" agents I spoke with. I sent an email request for warranty replacement on Oct. 27th, 2008. It is now Jan 13th, 2009 and my monitor STILL has not been replaced. I have called customer service at least every two weeks and each time they politely apologize for my inconvenience and tell me that the monitor should have shipped, they don't know why it hasn't, they have to contact someone else by email to find out why and I will have to wait for a phone call back within 24 to 48 hours. NO ONE from Samsung has EVER contacted me by phone.
When I called on Dec 23rd, 2008 checking once again for my monitor, I was told that there was no order pending for me - it had mysteriously disappeared after almost 2 months... a new order was created and I was once again assured that a monitor would be shipped as early as the following week. I called on Dec 30th, same story, the monitor SHOULD have shipped, can't understand why it hasn't, sorry for my inconvenience, etc etc. Told that it WOULD DEFINITELY SHIP BY THE WEEK OF JAN. 5th, 2009.
I have wasted untold time on phone calls to these INCOMPETENT BOOBS and accomplished nothing whatsoever. I called again today, Jan 13th, 2009 and got the same story. This is frustrating beyond belief. I will NOT purchase ANYTHING FROM SAMSUNG IN THE FUTURE!!!!!! There are a lot of choices for good electronic products competitively priced and as a consumer, my decision may well boil down to which company supports and provides REAL SERVICE to their customers. No one is compensating me for my time spent pursuing this WARRANTY EXCHANGE and I do have better things to do.
It's a good thing that we still had our old monitor in the closet to pull off the shelf and use in the interim or we couldn't even contact these boobs by email!!! Sign me "fed up in Texas"!!
SEOUL 127-857, SOUTH KOREA -- I have been trying for several weeks to get repair of my monitor which I believe should be covered under warranty. First, Customer Service told me it is warranty, then they told me it wasn't in warranty because it was more than 1 year old. I advised them that the warranty information that came with the monitor said it was covered for 3 years and was still within that time frame. I was asked to fax them a copy of the sales slip which I did and the "Executive Customer Relations" representative told me that she would call back to confirm receipt of the fax and that all was in order that afternoon. She did not call back.
The next day, I spoke with yet another "Executive Customer Relations" representative who said that the previous representative who was to call me back did not come in until noon and he would make sure that she got back in touch with me. She did not call today either. I went online to customer service and complained asking that they inform whomever was the Customer Service Manager of my disappointment and was told that she wasn't able to do that. Not what I would call responsible customer service!
Just a year after we bought a Samsung monitor for our computer the menu for the monitor began flashing repeatedly. We checked online for fixes and apparently there is none. (We tried the ones we found to no avail.) We did find that many other people have the same issue, and unfortunately our warranty was expired. I am still using the monitor after 3 years but it is very annoying to have that menu on the screen. Also, sometimes it won't turn on or off. Frustrating to say the least because I have things I can only do online on my computer. I am unemployed and cannot afford to buy a new one right now. When I am able to get one I'll never by another Samsung monitor.
RIDGEFIELD PARK, NEW JERSEY -- I purchased a new Samsung 22" LCD monitor (model 225BW) on April 16, 2008. On July 13, 2008, my monitor failed and my first communication to Samsung about the problem was submitted through their web-based customer contact form. On July 20, 2008, I had received no response from Samsung and after searching their website, the easiest way to resolve this issue was to start a self-service in-warranty ticket. I completed the web form, supplying Samsung with all of the requested information as well as a copy of my sales receipt and proof-of-purchase.
On July 23, 2008, I checked the status on the website and it showed "waiting for exchange process". So I called the 1-800-SAMSUNG number to determine what the status was. I was told by the representative that I was impatient. She commented "It isn't like they can put a monitor in a box and send it to you." Why not? That was the option I selected to have a replacement monitor shipped to The UPS Store near my home to have the exchange made and the defective monitor returned.
My other option was to foot the bill for shipping and send it in for repairs, or to have a $400 hold be placed on my credit card to have a unit cross-shipped and I would still be paying for shipping the defective monitor to Samsung. On July 25, 2008, I once again checked the status and it was still showing "waiting for exchange process". So I called again and asked exactly what was Samsung waiting on. The representative told me that the exchange process hadn't started and that it was an automated process and that I just needed to wait.
On July 28, I called again, trying to find out exactly what was holding the process up. I was told that in-warranty monitor exchanges were handled by a third party and that the time necessary to complete the process was dependent upon their speed. I asked if I could contact them and was told no. I asked for the name of the company and was told that they couldn't give me that information. I hung up.
I called back. This time, a representative told me that the delay was my fault. She said that I had not told Samsung whether I wanted "A" stock or "R" stock. I advised her that I didn't even know what that meant and said that during the self-service ticket creation process, I was never asked to make that decision. She advised that "A" stock meant a new monitor and "R" stock meant a refurbished monitor. Naturally, with my monitor just days over 3 months old, I told her I would prefer "A" stock. She then advised me that I couldn't get "A" stock and would have to settle for "R" stock. I asked why and she replied that there was no "A" stock to ship out.
Upon further questioning, I determined that there was no "A" stock for this monitor because Samsung is no longer manufacturing it. OK, so if there is no "A" stock and I have to settle for "R" stock, then why would Samsung be waiting on me to make a decision? I asked her how I was supposed to know that I needed to make a decision since there was no indication of the website when I checked the status of my ticket and the "Message from Samsung" field was blank on the ticket status screen.
She said that customers usually called Samsung to ask why there was a delay and that's when they would find out about the "A" stock or "R" stock issue. I told her that was unacceptable to expect the customer to know that and that Samsung should contact the customer if there was an issue. She responded that they were an in-bound call center and don't make outgoing calls to customers. She also replied that there was no way they would have the time to do that even if they could make out-bound calls. So, the net result of this phone call was that I would be getting "R" stock. She said she would "send it over" so that it could be processed immediately.
My interpretation was that she would make whomever needed to be aware of my decision aware and have the replacement monitor shipped out. Bad assumption on my part. On July 31, 2008, Samsung's Repair Self-Tracking website still shows "waiting on exchange process" as the status of my ticket. Time for another phone call. I get the same story as last time - "A" stock vs "R" stock. I explain that I have already been through this 3 days ago and that I shouldn't have to go through all of this again.
For God's sake, put the monitor in a box and send it to me. This representative advised me that she would "expedite" my ticket and get it shipped out. I asked what assurance I had that this would happen and she replied "Because I said I would."
On August 4, 2008, I made another call to Samsung. The representative I spoke with this time seemed genuinely concerned about my ongoing problem. He transferred me to Samsung's ECR (Executive Customer Relations) group. I spoke with agent 23. She basically gave me the same old story - no "A" stock available. What exactly do I need to do here? I thought that during the 2 prior phone calls we had established that "R" stock was my only option and I said that I would accept it. I didn't really want it but refurbished equipment is almost the universal standard for warranty requests these days.
This agent did say that I could get a refund if I wanted it. I really just wanted a monitor. She said that she was going to send an email to the "monitor department" to determine if there was a new monitor (that met or exceeded the specifications of my defective monitor) that they could "expedite" to me and that she would call me back. She verified my phone number.
It's now August 6, 2008. I called the ECR again at their direct-dial number 800-522-7341. This time I got Agent 12. She gave me the same old song and dance; you know the drill - "A" vs "R" and told me that was the problem. I asked how long a refund would take and was told 6 weeks. I asked to speak to a Supervisor. She said that she could refer my request to speak to a Supervisor to "Case Management" and that I would get a return call in about 5 days. 5 DAYS! I feel like I'm going to have a stroke. I hung up.
It's still August 6 and I have calmed down somewhat. I call ECR back and get Agent 49. She reads the notes and indicates that Agent 23 received a reply to her email that there was no "A" stock available. I asked why she didn't call me back as promised. No explanation. Then I asked if an "R" stock unit had been shipped. No, it hadn't. We went round & round. She said that she could send an email to the "monitor group" to see if this issue "can be resolved". She advised that she would call me back when she received a return email.
More promises of return phone calls. Just for fun, I asked her who at Samsung America, Inc or Samsung Electronics America oversaw customer service operations. Her response, "I will be happy to provide a mailing address for Samsung where you can send a letter to the President and express your concerns." So, I spent money on a monitor with what I thought was a good, 3-year warranty. My money was good. The monitor is bad. Customer service is fictional and apparently there really is no warranty. This experience puts Samsung in a dead heat with HP for absolute worst customer service/customer support.
VINELAND, NEW JERSEY -- I intended to purchase a Samsung 226BW 22 inch LCD monitor. A few people had warned me that the aforementioned model had three product model/series: S, A & C. This letter is nowhere to be found on the product packaging; the only way to determine which model one had purchased was to open the box and read the Serial Number Label affixed to the back of each monitor - a slick move on Samsung's part. I was advised by friends to buy the "S" model, which reflected Samsung's supposed quality/dependability, as reviewed by numerous magazine and online sources.
I was warned to stay away from the "A" and "C" models that were shipped afterwards, which are produced for Samsung by other manufacturers and are riddled with defects and reliability issues - as confirmed by numerous online Circuit City and other retail customer reviews. The in-store, 19 inch and 22 inch Samsung monitor display models that I checked were both "S." The store associate wasn't able to tell me the model letter of the in-stock, 22 inch Samsung monitor I intended to buy. I was required to first buy the monitor in question; I immediately opened the box in the store; it turned out to be a "C," the worst of the two lesser quality series.
The exchange of the "C" monitor for an alternative brand was a long fiasco. The whole experience has since caused me to think twice about making any subsequent Circuit City purchases. Finally, Samsung, with their bait-and-switch tactics, does Circuit City a disservice, as clearly seen in the all-too-numerous, poor online customer reviews. The in-store Samsung monitor displays are of the better quality of a series of the same model number, yet the products that customers are purchasing are of a lesser quality and reliability that is not discernable by a simple, convenient inspection of the Model/Serial Number Label affixed to the exterior of each box.
I, as well as most people who ask me for advice and ask about my good/bad experiences, can't help but speculate as to which other products Samsung, as well as other manufacturers, apply such shady tactics to as well. I consequently won't be buying or recommending anything with a Samsung label, as most people with whom I speak agree.
NAGPUR -- I purchased Samsung Colour Monitor CRT 17" SyncMaster 794MG, on date 19/11/2007 bearing Serial No. AR17HHAPA14789, Month & Year of Manufacture: October, 2007 from the local dealer here at NAGPUR named as "M/S Shreyas Infotech", as per their Invoice No. ** dated 19/11/2007 and delivery challan No. ** dated 19/11/2007.
Start from its purchase, it is giving problems. Its display is not proper and also the colors are not proper. After some 1-2 hours of use, colours goes faint and characters & fonts are suddenly widen and not displayed properly. Its Screen Borders are also not straight and seems somewhat curved. I lodged complaint to dealer and also to the company too many times, but nobody is listening to me. My purchase is totally new, but the defective monitor is supplied to me. The Samsung India Electronics Pvt. Ltd. - is having a very good goodwill in the market, but they are not giving care towards my complaints. I warn the public in general, to be very careful for this model.

I've installed Mint yesterday and so far I'm very pleased with the system. It's very fast and snappy, much faster than the blotted Windows 7/8.
I've already installed all the software I need; like Code::Blocks, Qt, Steam and so on and so forth.
That aside.
I've tried running a few simple games - worked like a charm. The games' FPS itself was comparable to the Windows versions.
Well... so far so good. However, I want to be able to turn on or off vertical synchronization. And for that I obviously the Nvidia's control panel (or is it doable via terminal?).
So... this is an Optimus-enabled laptop.
A GT 650M and an Intel HD Graphics 4000.
I'm currently optimizing battery life; it's ~1 hours 30 minutes out of the box.
~2 hours 30 minutes with Bumblebee. (I want to eventually match W7's battery life - ~3hours +- 10-30 minutes.)
I've tried using this tutorial.
But when I run in the terminal:
Code: Select all
Code: Select all
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
Code: Select all
nvidia-xconfig: command not found
Perhaps too much information to grasp at one go...
But since I'm free from university for two weeks, I want to be as productive as possible.
Thank you and my apologies if I'm asking something really dumb.

Nature "Attenborough's Life Stories: Understanding the Natural World" In honor of Sir David Attenborough's 60th anniversary on television, this three-part miniseries focuses on three fields that David Attenborough feels have been transformed most profoundly: filmmaking, science and the environment. Richly illustrated with the sequences (re-mastered in HD) that Attenborough has spent 60 years capturing, new interviews in which he revisits the content, stories and locations that were featured in his landmark series, and packed with the personal anecdotes of the BBC's most accomplished raconteur, "Attenborough's Life Stories" is a singular synopsis of a unique half-century plus. In "Understanding the Natural World," Sir David Attenborough shares his memories of the scientists and the breakthroughs that helped shape his own career. D

"Every existing tree grows unhindered inside the building, finding a total freedom through the roof. The main tree honored, as the dominant structure gives room for its participation; this is the place where the unity between nature and building is at its maximum." Sverre Fehn (1962)
The Nordic Pavilion for the Venice Biennale (1958-1962), designed by Sverre Fehn and realized as a tour de force in long-span concrete construction, when he was only 28, is a project that deals with Nordic identity but it's also strongly related to the city of Venice. "The pavilion carries the ingredients of Venice. The city belongs to the water from which came its inspiration. The areas of green contrast with the water. The park with its landscape of grass and trees is very precious and scarce".
Åke E:son Lindman's reportage of the Nordic Pavilion go beyond architectural documentation to highlight the authorial intentions and visions behind it. Lindman's poetic vision catches lights and materials of this masterpiece and has a decisive impact on our perception of Fehn's built space.

Plover Organic: Happy & Healthy Bedding
Looking for a happy and healthy dose of color in your bedroom? Take a peek at Plover Organic. Not only will you fall in love with their bedding collections, but also with their sustainable vision and practices. I first laid my eyes on Plover Organic a few years ago…
the New York International Gift Fair. Not only was the collection stunning, but organic? Back then it was close to impossible to find, as Plover Organic puts it, "style-conscious" organic bedding. You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon their lovely booth. Plover Organic is "earth-conscious" as well, using only organic cotton from non-genetically engineered seeds, grown in soil free of toxins.
The product line is in full bloom and now includes crib bedding, table top and fabric available by the yard.
Look at these happy swatches!
All of their products are available online through the Plover Organic Online Shop.
Who knew taking care of the earth could be so stylish and so comfy!

P.S. I love your blog! A mom's group I belong to posted your Ebay auction, and poof, you have another fan.
The wierdest thing about me, is I want 6 kids, maybe more (reading your blog and Ebay auction has me wondering though). Do you have any advice to get my husband past his "two is enough" Phase? (It has to be a phase, it will pass) lol!

My kids are grown now, but camping was always the best vacations that we had. Plus we could afford a campground vs a hotel. We even went camping when we lived in the country, one time my kids were running and screaming thru the campground, and I repremanded them with "Quiet down, you aren't home, there are people everywhere here!". I could see the expressions on the campers next door. They were looking at me like I was insane. (I doubt they had kids).
Anyway, I totally relate to your blog.
ps. my kids has wooden box in the backyard that was a train, a submarine and all sorts of stuff. They still remember it, and my oldest is 28 now.

As you said, what is it about boys and wildlife??? I think it is because they have mush for brains. The off switch is connected to the "I dare you " button. One vacation my brother (then about 12 or 14) and several boy cousins caught minnows using baseball caps as the net and then BIT THEIR HEADS OFF!!! They said they did it because they heard people ate raw fish and they wanted to see who would get grossed out. I understand there was an element of a double dare invovled. Some 30 years later I think, given the right circumstances, that they would do it again. Of course they'd wash down their "snack" with beer now.

Auto Show: 2013 New York Auto Show
2014 Toyota Highlander: New York Auto Show
What is it?
The eight-passenger 2014 Toyota Highlander is an all-new version of Toyota's popular midsize crossover SUV.
Although the current Highlander has continued to be a strong seller for Toyota, it was due for a redesign, and here it is, just in time for the bright lights of the 2013 New York Auto Show. Sharpened and creased much like the recently introduced 2013 RAV4, the 2014 Highlander looks unmistakably modern, and that goes for the roomier, completely overhauled interior as well. Under the hood, though, the new Highlander largely retains the outgoing model's powertrain.
How much?
Pricing likely won't be announced until later this year, but the current Highlander ranges from about $30,000 to $40,000, and we expect the 2014 Highlander to stay the course for the most part, leaving higher price brackets to the premium Lexus RX.
When can you get it?
The all-new 2014 Highlander should arrive in Toyota dealerships early in 2014.
Add it to your shopping list because...
The 2014 Toyota Highlander adopts contemporary styling and technology, as well as a larger third-row seat and cargo area, while otherwise retaining the outgoing model's successful formula.
Outside, fresh angles and curves announce the 2014 Highlander's "newness," creating obvious separation from the 2013 Highlander's more restrained shape. The cabin, meanwhile, is a quantum leap forward, offering upgraded materials and neat tech features like an 8-inch touchscreen navigation system and a 4.2-inch "Multi-Information Display" for the driver.
There's big news in the way-back, too, where the third-row seat with reclining seatbacks is over four inches wider than before. Toyota says it can now accommodate up to three passengers without issue, in contrast to the previous Highlander's rather cramped two-person third row. Credit largely goes to a more compact rear suspension design that frees up passenger space and also increases cargo capacity.
Under the hood, the 2014 Highlander employs basically the same 2.7-liter 4-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 engines as before, along with the familiar Hybrid powertrain based on that 3.5-liter V6. However, the regular V6 model's 6-speed automatic transmission has been revised to improve fuel economy.
Other cars to consider:
Ford Flex: The funky Flex is a cross between a minivan and a short bus, and we love it. Check out the EcoBoost version for extra entertainment value.
Hyundai Santa Fe: Hyundai's new three-row Santa Fe crossover replaces the old Veracruz and provides the expected Hyundai combination of style, features, value and warranty coverage.
Mazda CX-9: Still the driver's choice in this class, the CX-9 is such a pleasure to pilot that it's easy to forget this is one of the largest three-row crossovers on the market, with a roomy interior to match.
Used Acura MDX: The MDX does basically the same job as the Highlander V6, but it adds a nice dollop of luxury. Certified pre-owned models are easily within reach of the Highlander shopper.
Used Lexus RX: The RX is based on the Highlander's architecture, and although it only has two rows of seats, its features are luxury-class all the way. If you think of pre-owned RXs as fancy two-row Highlanders, your decision might get a little more interesting.
Do you like the 2014 Toyota Highlander's all-new look? Let us know in the comments below.

17 inch square of muslin or other fabric
buttons, pompoms, chenille, ribbon
Since the pillow we are making is 16 inches, we will cut the backing fabric 17 inches square. I just used whatever white fabric I had available, as it will not show. Use a clear acrylic quilters rule to mark pencil lines 1 to 2″ apart. Both vertically and horizontally. This will be somewhat of a guide to keep you straight and on track as you lay the fabric strips down.
Pull all the paper strips off, exposing the adhesive (the lower five shiny rows you see above).
(Remember to note in the above photo how I sewed up and down each raw edged strip).

Nationals top White Sox to complete series sweep
Washington, DC – Bryce Harper sent a fourth-inning Gavin Floyd offering into the second deck and Danny Espinosa drove in two runs, as the Washington Nationals remained perfect at home this season with a 5-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Jordan Zimmermann (2-0) was dialed in all night for Washington, allowing just two runs on seven hits while striking out four in seven innings of work. Zimmermann was also productive at the plate, laying down two sacrifice bunts.
Espinosa went 2-for-4, while Ian Desmond had three hits -- two doubles and a triple -- and two runs scored.
Floyd got off to a fast start but lasted just 5 1/3 innings while yielding five runs on nine hits. He also had seven strikeouts.
"It seemed like the first two innings he was unhittable," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson. "He's a good pitcher. We beat a good pitcher."
Alex Rios and Conor Gillaspie each had two hits to pace Chicago, which fell to 0-2 on the road this season.
Rafael Soriano allowed a two-out single to Alexei Ramirez but got Gillaspie to pop out for his fourth save of the season.
The White Sox got on the board quickly, scoring a run in the first inning on Adam Dunn's ground out to first base with one out. Jeff Keppinger, who singled earlier in the inning, trotted home easily from third.
Harper tied things in the fourth with his fourth home run of the season. Later that inning, Desmond doubled and scored on an Espinosa single to give the Nats their first lead of the night.
Ryan Zimmerman gave Washington its third run with a single to right in the bottom of the fifth inning, but Chicago got it right back when Alejandro De Aza came home on a Rios groundout in the top of the sixth.
Washington got two insurance runs in the bottom of the frame thanks to an RBI- double from Espinosa and an infield single from Denard Span, which plated Espinosa.
"I was just trying to be patient right there and get a ball to drive," said Espinosa.
Drew Storen pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the Nats.
Game Notes
Harper became the fourth 20-year old in the Live Ball Era with four home runs in his team's first eight games, joining Al Kaline, Miguel Cabrera and Carlos May ... Three White Sox relievers combined for 2 2/3 scoreless innings ... Chicago went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
