Bigg Boss: Day 35-36 Highlights
In what could be a surprising move, the Bigg Boss has nominated all the inmates of the house for the forthcoming elimination. While Nurse Jayalakshmi and Aparna got maximum votes from the contestants, the boss chose a different route as nobody in the house is following the rules. Only Thilak and Vijay Raghavendra know that all the contestants are in the danger zone.
The responsibilities of making all the contestants to follow the rules, a special task, was given to Thilak by the Bigg Boss, who also told him that he could share it with one person. Well, on the other end, the fights and quarrels between the contestants are reaching new heights. The only one person, who is not bothered about all the happenings is none other than Narendra Babu Sharma.
Hey Who Is Bloody Brahmanda?
This was the question asked to himself by Narendra Babu Sharma. Well, if he was not a godman and had he chosen other career, the Brahmanda Swamji would have mouthed the aforementioned statement sporting tight jeans and a cowboy hat with a cigarette in hand when he heard about the swamiji himself.

When creating hatch, the pick points method can be one of the fastest ways to define a boundary. Unfortunately, when using pick points AutoCAD looks at every entity in the drawing. As your drawings become more complicated, it gets harder to use pick points, because other geometries starts getting in the way. In this lesson we are going to learn how to use pick points to apply hatch to complicated drawings. On my screen I have an abstract example. Let's say I'd like to hatch the area defined by these four line segments. I'll launch my Hatch command and by default AutoCAD uses the Pick Points method of finding a boundary.
Here's the problem. When I place my cursor inside this area, you can see that AutoCAD is hatching around all the circles. Now you might think that we could move up and use the Select Boundary Objects method to identify the boundary, but since my boundary is four individual objects, I can select all of these, but I'm still not getting what I want. I am going to press Escape and then I'll click the Undo button and let's try something else. I'm going to re-launch the Hatch command. I'll stick with the default Pick Points method. I'll open up the Boundaries panel, and I'll click this icon.
This tool allows me to limit what AutoCAD sees when looking for a boundary. I will then click each of my four objects and press Enter. Now when I place my cursor inside this area, AutoCAD hatches to the objects that I allowed it to see. I'll click to select the area and then I'll press Enter to accept to my hatch. Knowing what we know now, let's try and use this tool in a practical example. I am going to pan the drawing over. On my screen I have an architectural drawing.
I would like to apply a gradient fill hatch to these windows. Let's zoom in a little closer. I'll launch the Hatch command. In the Pattern panel, I'll click the flyout and I'm going to select the Gradient Linear Pattern. I'd like this to be blue-and-white. One my colors is already correct. So I'll click the yellow and I'll change this to white. Finally, I'm going to click in the angle field and I'll change this to 100. I'll press tab to accept that value.
This way it looks like I have a light source coming down from above. Now here's the problem. I don't want to have individual patterns for each pane. I'd like to have the pattern span the entire window. To do that, I'll open the Boundaries panel and I'll click the Select New Boundary Set icon. I will then select the objects I'd like AutoCAD to see. I'll grab all of these edges around the outsides of the windows.
When I am finished, I'll press Enter. Now when I place my cursor inside this area, I can see that AutoCAD will span the pattern across the entire window. I'll select this one and this one. Now before I finish, I'd like to do one more thing. I'd rather not have my hatch sitting on top of the other linework. So I am going to open the Options panel and I'll come down and open this flyout. This is a draw order control, and I would like my Hatch to be set to the back of the drawing and I'll press Enter.
As you can see, even if you have geometry that's in your way, you can still use the Pick Points method to create your hatch. You just need to limit what AutoCAD sees when it looks for a boundary.

Oops. Motorola Resells Uncleared Xoom Tablets
To the list of woes buffeting Motorola Mobility's little-loved Xoom tablet, add this: the company sold a batch of used ones without first wiping out all the prior owners' personal data.
Motorola Mobility said 100 of about 6,200 it sold through Woot.com from October to December still may have contained email and social media account passwords as well as other personal ephemera.
It's asking users to return the affected devices and, for the customers whose data might have been farmed out, Motorola is offering a 2-year subscription to credit rating agency Experian's ProtectMyID identity theft service.
While the $382.80 subscription is a nice gesture, it comes as much as four months after some used Xoom owners had the opportunity to wade through Facebook and Gmail accounts. That's plenty of time for the less scrupulous to gather incriminating beach photos or to wipe someone's bank account clean.
Not that consumers should be surprised at this point. Sony's Playstation had its database scrubbed for credit card numbers, passwords and other details last year by hackers. Citigroup and Lockheed Martin also saw personal data lifted from their websites and EMC's SecurID, no less, was hit by a security breach.
Meanwhile, Xoom tablets haven't quite caught the public's attention like, say, Apple's iPad. Motorola, which is awaiting a $12.5 billion takeover deal from Google to pass regulatory muster, reported 1 million tablet sales in all of last year, compared with a reported 15.4 million iPads in the last year's final three months alone.
"Motorola sincerely regrets and apologizes for any inconvenience this situation has caused," the company said in a statement.

Is bad hygiene a dealbreaker?

I went out several times for coffee dates with somebody last year, 2/5 times he had stains or...food on his shirt. If I'd been interested in dating him I might have said something the second time happened, it did make a negative impression so really I didn't even consider him as an option after the second time it happened.
Once I went out with somebody and seemed obvious that he had slept on his hair and it "stuck that way" and he didn't bother combing it before meeting me. My
was not to date somebody who didn't at least try a bit for a first meeting, showing up on time, in clean clothes with no obvious grooming issues... but I gave it another shot and it turned out his hygiene was great. So I'd always give somebody a second shot if I was really interested in them, but I wouldn't be giving them grooming advice on the first couple dates...
I have felt a couple other people I've met didn't really keep to those standards either, people are just really laid back or something... Never was anybody smelly or dirty looking at least, I just get people who call 5 mins before or after we are supposed to meet to tell me they are running late, I guess I should count my blessings!
In your situation, I would probably go out with him again, and if he showed up looking dirty or smelling bad I wouldn't accept a third date and if asked why I'd summarize. I certainly don't have any desire to get into some situation where I'm wishing somebody would change before we'd gotten to a third date, I think both parties are better of just not making the effort if it's already an issue.
@BoringGuy - ok im glad ive never had to tell anybody to wash their butt!
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

Cheteshwar Pujara's unbeaten 82 saw the hosts comfortably chase down 155 for the loss of just four wickets after skittling their beleaguered opponents for 164 in their second innings.
Ravindra Jadeja took five for 58 to do most of the damage, with only tailender Peter Siddle offering any resistance with 50 - his second Test half-century - as Australia's batsmen undid all the good work achieved on Saturday and first thing on the third morning by Nathan Lyon.
The chase always looked well within India's grasp and was achieved with room to spare, despite two more wickets for Lyon, who finished with nine for the match. That was all after things had looked to be going Australia's way at the start of the day as India added only six runs to their overnight total.
A brilliant spell of spin bowling from Lyon had dragged Australia back into contention and the 25-year-old off-spinner did not take long to re-find his rhythm. Resuming on 266 for eight - having bowled out the tourists for 262 - the Indian tail had hardly settled before Lyon completed a career-best haul of seven for 94 by snaring the final two wickets with the first two balls of his first full over.
The renewed hope Australia may have harboured heading into the second innings with only a 10-run deficit swiftly diminished soon after they went out to bat again, however. Glenn Maxwell opened the batting in place of Ed Cowan, but perished in the fifth over to Jadeja, who then trapped David Warner in front for eight.
Phil Hughes (six) also succumbed to spin, coming forward to defend one from Ravichandran Ashwin and being undone by the turn. Shane Watson contributed five before having his middle stump dislodged by Pragyan Ojha, and the departure of Cowan (24) - batting at number three - lbw playing across the line to Jadeja next over left Australia reeling on 53 for five.
Steve Smith and Matthew Wade set about steadying the ship for the visitors and reached lunch on 89 for five. Neither man managed to get to 20, though. Smith was bowled between bat and pad by Jadeja, with Mitchell Johnson following for a duck with his very next ball.
Australia were now 94 for seven, but pace bowler Siddle proved an unlikely source of resistance. Ojha did for Wade on 19 and Ishant Sharma accounted for James Pattinson, but Siddle battled his way to a 45-ball 50 before he was stumped by Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he came down the track to Ashwin.
Australia needed their attack to fire to have any chance of rescuing the situation and, although Maxwell bowled Murali Vijay for 11, Pujara and Virat Kohli put India on the verge of victory. Kohli fell lbw to Lyon for 41 and the spinner also trapped Sachin Tendulkar for one, but Pujara continued to add runs at the other end and guided his side home.

Bradley Open To Marquez and Provodnikov Rematches
By Ryan Burton
WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0) recently agreed to face Manny Pacquiao on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. The fight will be a rematch of Bradley's controversial split decision victory over Pacquiao that took place in June, 2012 at the same venue.
The undefeated two-division champion had a stellar 2013 campaign that included wins over hard hitting Ruslan Provodnikov and future Hall of Famer Juan Manuel Marquez. The victory over Provodnikov was so good that it won Fight of the Year honors from most boxing publications.
Bradley said that all of his focus is on Pacquiao and the task at hand but that he would have absolutely no problem facing Marquez or Provodnikov again in the future. Both fighters have clamored for rematches and Bradley said that if the fights make sense that he would love to face both of them again.
"Well, I am focused on Manny Pacquiao. That is who I am looking at and he is who I have coming up but yeah if I look into the future I would fight Marquez again. He is a legend and if that fight presented itself and it made sense then why not? We could do it again.
I would fight Ruslan too. I will fight anybody, man. If that fight makes sense then I would do it again. See there are a lot of great fights for me out there. I have this rematch with Pacquiao coming up and I am concentrating on winning this fight decisively. When the fight is over we will see what is out there. I have fought the best out there so I have no problem fighting anybody," Bradley told BoxingScene.com.

Still waiting for a response on my claim but if push comes to shove I will take it a step further. I received a letter from them saying they may not pay the claim because I didn't report people In my household. Which has nothing to do with my claim. Someone stole my vehicle and wrecked it. I just wish I would have went with Allstate like my husband advised. Because it was a little bit more I decided to go with direct general.
Be very careful people. You pay for what you want. Cheaper coverage mean bad service to me from now on. I would rather pay higher rates then to deal with bad service.

My mother passed away in March of 2004 and my sister passed away in August 2004. I caught all the payments up and even double up on the payments thinking I would just pay it off since it was already on the property I had inherited. The third month i got a letter saying i was behind $600 dollars. I didnt understand that since I had paid it all up and even sent $400 that month. I'm no math expert but even I know thats more than double the $160 payment.
The guy's name was Trace and he called 18 times in one day.He even called on Saturday. He would start calling around 6 my time and call until around 8 my time. I imagined he must just do that job for the love of harassing. He called me a liar,told me he would have the sheriff to escort me from "his mobile home", even though it was my property! He also told me he would be there the next day to get his home unless i wired him $80. I told him to come and get it because I had my own home and I didnt need it anyway. It's going on 60 days now and its still sitting in my yard. I have given them directions and everything and not only will they not get it but I cant ever talk to anyone that doesnt transfer me to Trace and he is the rudest human being I have ever talked to on the face of this earth. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING DEALING WITH GREENTREE OR GREENPOINT DONT!!! BE AWARE THAT THEY ALSO TRANSFER YOUR ACCOUNT AMONG EACH OTHER WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND CHARGE YOU FOR IT

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Charge them Lot rent!!!!!!!
AUTHOR: Brian - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 20, 2006POSTED: Monday, February 20, 2006
Send them a certified letter and advise them you are charging them lot rent. What ever you feel is reasonable. I was the field rep for them at one time and have been to your town several times. People do it to them all the time. they probably didnt apply the money to the acct because your name was different. if you get the cashed checks and call back the checks will have an account # on them to where the money was placed and they can put it to your sisters acct!!!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

After over 100 or more phone calls (by me), several faxes and 2 certified letters, they still refuse to give me my money back. If I ever do get to talk to anyone, it is a lackey who can only give me their party line. They can never (for some reason) give me a phone number or an email address of anyone in any position to help me.
Most recently they are claiming that I agreed to an extended 1-year garuntee (a complete lie which I have evidence to back up) which prohibits them from giving me my money back at all- unless I use their sorry services over the course of the year. They have already lost my tax records twice, lied to me, been rude to me, ignored me and stolen from me. There is no way I'm going to let them touch my tax records again!
If anyone has advice for me on how I can get my $3500.00 back. I'm a public school teacher and this is more money than I make teaching summer school for two years! I know I'm not the only one in this unfortunate situation- AND THEY ARE STILL ADVERTISING ON THE RADIO!!! Where is the justice? How can companies get away with this? How can these people live with themselves knowing they are stealing people's hard earned money?

Another Zinger from Singer: Can The Movie Be Far Behind? [1]
Ross Gelbspan [2] | November 10, 2006
By Ross Gelbspan [2] • Friday, November 10, 2006 - 14:16
In a new book [3], veteran skeptic S. Fred Singer claims that global warming is perfectly nature, unrelated to human-generated carbon emissions and caused by variations in solar intensity. Ooops! [4]
Singer and his co-author, Dennis Avery, contend rising sea levels won't swamp coastal cities "because 90 percent of the world's remaining ice is in the melt-resistant Antarctic." Ooops again! [5]
Singer inverts the consensus understanding of more than 2,000 scientists that carbon dioxide traps in heat. Rather, Singer proclaims, heat releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Yet another Ooops! [6]
But then Singer has a reputation for ALWAYS telling [7] the truth.

Louis van Gaal is an innovator, always making adjustments to stay ahead. And in recent reports, the Dutch coach is said to be bringing his 3-4-3 formation with him to Old Trafford next season in a bid to take Manchester United back to the summit of the Premier League.
With van Gaal still at the World Cup with the Netherlands, it's a good idea to release this information to the staff at United so as they can adequately prepare on the transfer front. A shift in formation will give the club plenty to work with in identifying targets that need to be acquired in the coming months.
With a host of small fires needing to be extinguished at Old Trafford by the new manager, this system will help to address glaring problems.
This article will explore the five things that can be expected from van Gaal's 3-4-3 formation at Old Trafford.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
However, recent experiences with harassment by adults and underaged players have made their games unpalatable. Despite repeated emails sent to team lava with screen shots, I am still being harassed. It has come to the point where I fear whether or not the players will move their harassment from the virtual world to the real world.
To make the situation even more frustrating, I have been suspended from their games when I tried to fight back and when I attempted to help others being harassed along with me. The harassers, though, are still doing what they do without any disciplinary actions by team lava.
For months, perhaps years, players have asked for a ban or an ignore feature on their walls so that they have the power in their own hands to stop harassment immediately. [continued below]....
After experiencing relentless harassment that lasted about 6 wks, I decided to start campaigning for a block button feature to be installed on all of the story games. It's a feature players have been asking for for 2-3 years. It's already available on storm 8 games yet team lava says they don't want to provide the block button for story games because " A Block button has both positive and negative effects. Yes, with a block button, you can easily block an inappropriate player so they don't bother you again, but this won't stop them from causing trouble for other players." Quote taken from team lava forums ( http://forums.teamlava.c). Not only does team lava refuse to provide one of the most requested things of all time on story games, they've also suspended my account for 3 days for campaigning a blackout, asking players to not log into their games for a week. I was told by a team lava agent that the best place to ask for a block button is on the team lava forums since it is monitored by team lava employees. So, I went to an existing block button thread saw the following post by a player opposed to having a block button:
"Now I'm sorry but I laughed when you wrote (In a world where we have freedom of speech). If you use a block button are you not taking away the other persons freedom of speech ?"
Dictionary definition of freedom of speech: The right to express any opinion in public without censorship or restraint by the government.
"This definition misses some critical aspects of our common usage of the term. For instance, free speech is of no value if nobody is allowed to listen to the speech; people in solitary confinement have perfectly free speech, but that does not mean that we would have considered it an acceptable solution to lock up Martin Luther King Jr. in solitary confinement and let him preach what he may; along with the obvious unjust imprisonment we would consider this to be an obvious example of trampling on free speech. We should also consider the right to free speech as the right to listen to anybody we choose."
The next logical question would be, if we choose not to listen to someone's speech or expression, do we have the right to block their speech? The answer is yes, as long as it is written on another player's wall. A block button does NOT take away a person's freedom of speech because that person is still free to express himself on his own wall or anywhere it is welcomed. However, if a player has been told that their messages are not welcomed at a particular wall but continues to post there, our right to choose which expression to receive has been trampled upon.
Wikipedia: "The term freedom of expression includes any act of seeking, receiving and impartinginformation or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity and incitement to commit a crime.
Freedom of expression has multiple subsets but many people only think of the first one. Freedom of expression includes: 1. Freedom of speech 2. Freedom to choose whose speech we would like to receive 3. A freedom of speech that is reasonably limited
It may feel team lava is trampling on our rights when a player who has organized a blackout or boycott is censored. That is simply not true. Team lava & storm 8 as a corporation holds no responsibility to fund or host any speech that is critical of them. However, should that same speech be moved to another forum that is not sponsored, hosted, or funded by team lava/storm 8, they have no grounds to censor in that instance.
Is it true that freedom of speech cannot occur in the presence of censorship? No, in fact freedom of speech coexists with censorship (of things that are libel, slander, or threats.)
In fact, multiple posts from countless players asking for a block button is censored daily. Pretty much the only thing you are allowed to say on their forums is "I want a block button." And every now and then a moderator will say "I will forward this request yet another time to team lava." This has been happening for the last 3 years, over and over again, like a broken record.
Team lava/Storm 8: CEO Perry Tam said in an article on June 8th, 2011 withhttp://insidemobileapps. that "This is a huge market and my intention is to figure out how to conquer it and become the biggest social gaming company on mobile platforms."
That WILL NOT happen if they don't change their unethical practices. Consumers will take notice and rebel. They will find other developers for apps that entertain but also take care of their customers whenever customer service is needed.

To my disappointment the installation date arrived and I had not heard from Excel Shades and Gabriel Hashoul at all. It was a weekday and I had to take time away from work to let the installers in and have them completed the job. I called Gabriel Hashoul from Excel Shades and asked if him if everything was ok as today was the scheduled date to install my custom sheers and shades. He said that my blinds and sheer would not be installed because the order was not complete. I asked Gabriel Hashoul from Excel Shades when he was going to let me know about this? I had already made arrangements to be away from work and had no idea of the change and was not informed. Gabriel replied that these things happen and we can reschedule for the week later. I was bothered at the fact that he didnt even call me to inform me that we needed to reschedule the install of my blinds. So, if I hadnt called him, I would have spent the day at home waiting for no one to show up. On the rescheduled date for the install, I called Gabriel Hashoul from Excel Shades to get a time for the install. He said they would be arriving at noon. I planned to take my hour to let the installers in. Instead, no one showed up at noon. No one showed up at 1pm, by that time, I had to go back to work so I made arrangements with security to let them in when they arrived. The installers didnt arrive until 4pm! Security let the installers in to put up the shades and sheers. When I got home later that night, my mouth almost fell to floor! The white sheers were sitting on soiled hardwood full of dirt, dust and nails from the install. No attempt to clean up after themselves at all. Im being very specific about my bad experience with Gabriel Hashoul from Excel Shades for all buyers to be aware.
To top it off, the sheers were white and by now, they were so dirty and the fabric was pulled. If that wasnt enough, the sheers were too long dragging on the floor. At this point Excel Shades seemed like a fly by night operation as the installers looked under the age of 20. The style of the sheers was supposed to be ripplefold, the hardware was completely wrong and therefore was not a ripplefold. So much for my high-quality custom blinds. I tried to reach Gabriel Hashoul numerous times over a two week period without any reply or acknowledgment. Excel Shades needs better customer service if they want to retain customers. I was really concerned that I was stuck with this terrible job. I spent the whole evening cleaning up after the installers and was just levit!
Finally after weeks of trying to reach Gabriel Hashoul, he finally replied and agreed to come and take a look at the job. I felt this was at least some good news. Gabriel Hashoul came and saw it and said the hardware was wrong, the sheers needed to be shortened by a 1/4inch and he would take the sheers back to complete the job. I tried to reach him after that and did not get any replies or acknowledgement again for weeks this went on. This horrible experience that no customer should endure. I finally called the office and spoke to Gabriel Hashouls wife Carmen Marsilla and explained what happened. She defended the installers because one of them was her son and said they would never leave a home in that condition and that someone else must have had access to the place and dirtied it after they left. I told her that I arrived as they left and asked her if she required pictures since she didnt believe me? She said she would look in to it and call me back.
Needless to say, I never got a call back. Then I tried to reach Gabriel Hashoul again, after weeks finally he replied and said he would have an installer come back out. I asked for different installers that knew what they were doing and that I would definitely be home for this appointment so, I wanted a date and time when they could be expected since I was again taking time away from work.
The date came and the installer (subcontractor) called me and let me know when he was on his way so I could meet him. When he arrived, the installer realized that the first install was horrible. Next he tells me that they have the exact same hardware and its wrong. Then, he put one sheer up and realizes that its way too short. We both tried to reach Gabriel Hashoul to tell him what is happening and we couldnt reach him. Finally Gabriel Hashoul, calls the installer back and the installer tells him what is going on and that I am not pleased. The installer tries to mend the situation by offering to come back the following week and get this resolved for me. Gabriel Hashoul agrees with the installer and still does not call me back at all. The following week arrives and the installer calls me to tell me that he has not heard from Gabriel Hashoul and cant reach him. He doesnt know if the hardware has been reordered and therefore cannot finish my custom blind install . We both tried to reach Gabriel Hashoul, without success. The install was scheduled for 5pm since I refused to take any more time off work. The installer calls me back at 3pm telling me that Gabriel Hashoul sent another installer to pick up the sheers and he has no idea why he did this so he doesnt know if the install will happen as planned for today.
I tried to reach Gabriel Hashoul again and no reply. I then send him a message saying that if I didnt hear from him I would have no choice but to take further action. He replied the next day demanding payment upfront in order to complete the order. I replied to him and said that he is putting me in a very vulnerable position to ask for money upfront when the deal is to finish the job and then get paid.
Not only that, but after the lack of responses throughout this whole ordeal, the best solution for both parties is to complete the job and get paid as originally agreed with Excel Shades. I have not heard from him since then. It is the worst experience ever and I tried to look up reviews online and of course, I only found positive ones that were probably written by family members or made up.
Unfortunately, I am writing this to protect other consumers from using this company Excel Shades owned by Gabriel Hashoul and later having to hire another company to fix their mistakes and get the job completed. It has been nothing short of a nightmare and I would stay away from hiring Gabriel Hashoul from Excel Shades completely. Through this experience, I have learned to go with only reputable companies who are referred through word of mouth or do the research on the company to ensure that they really understand customer service and the work they claim to know how to do!

#1 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Excessively impossible to rectify or satisfy. All in pursuit of free product or money saved. Countless efforts made...all to no satisfaction! Intentionally impossible to please!
AUTHOR: Excel Shades - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 29, 2011POSTED: Thursday, September 29, 2011
Although after 20 years of business, this incident is the first of its nature and the extent of the malice intended is shocking to many. In todays day and age, through the wide use of the internet there are the rare incidents where an individual will fabricate details all in pursuit to damage ones hard earned reputation for the purpose of receiving a discount or to cheat a business of money owing.
On July 27, 2011 a contract was made with Diana Peruzzi in the amount of $2,400. The order consisted of 4 Hunter Douglas shades and custom sheer drapery. A deposit of $1,200 was given. Two weeks later, on August 10, 2011 an installation date was booked and a window of 4 hours was given to Diana Peruzzi as this is our policy when booking installations. (Since we can only estimate previous lengths of installs on the same day or other variables such as traffic.)
Diana Peruzzi was made aware of the delayed time.
Two installers arrived and were let in by security. As normal practice they always remove their shoes before stepping foot into any residence to work. Drop sheets are laid out before any install which is regular practice. The install was completed. Typically the homeowner is present to provide a broom or vacuum to clean residue caused from drilling a few holes and some pins from the drapery. As the 500 sq ft condo was empty, they cleaned with the little tool they had. Everything looked great and never was there any mud or dirt covering the floor. It was a nice summer day and it was absurd that the installers would have created a mess as described by Diana Peruzzi.
The next day we received a call from Diana Peruzzi indicating that her sheers were not operating smoothly and reported a mess made, drapes soiled etc. Since this seemed impossible, my initial reaction was if there was a possibility that someone had access to Diana Peruzzis unit after our staff had left. Details were fabricated, extremely exaggerated and unimaginable to believe. Needless to say, a time was arranged to resolve the issues. Immediately we realized that the incorrect tracks were supplied by the company not allowing the smooth operation. At this point Diana Peruzzi took the opportunity to make additional requests for changes that were not part of the contract. We agreed to satisfy her requests to 1. To remake sheers and create a centre split atno charge. 2. To add an additional 4 batons to operate the sheers at no charge.
A smaller window that was completed to her satisfaction was excluded from any remakes or adjustments. Diana Peruzzi confirmed it was fine.
Within 2 weeks, another install was booked to bring order to completion. At this meeting Diana Peruzzi attempted to negotiate a side cash payment for the cost of the new tracks with our installer as a plan to evade paying Excel Shades the remaining $1,200 balance. The installer clarified for Diana Peruzzi that he is employed by the company and would never consider engaging in a dishonest plan and lose his job.
The installer immediately reported the incident and Diana Peruzzi was confronted. Diana Peruzzi was made aware that due to her dishonest business practices, in order for the remaining part of the order to be completed we would require the balance of $1,200 paid up front.
At this point, Diana Peruzzi became furious and denied the allegation. From that moment onward it was very evident that Diana Peruzzi made every attempt to create and exaggerate issues... all in attempts to evade paying the remaining balance. Diana Peruzzi continued her harassment as a form of vengeance since she was prevented the opportunity to cheat our company. As stated, it was in the month of July and it was impossible for our installers to roll the sheers in the mud or better yet as Diana Peruzzi claims... create a disastrous mess in her place. Nothing Diana Peruzzi alleged made any rational sense. We unfortunately are unable to allow the company to be cheated a significant amount of money as every attempt was made to bring the order to completion to the customers satisfaction. Diana Peruzzi has $1,300 worth of shades for the $1,200 deposit we received. Diana Peruzzi is ahead by $100, and we are now left with custom size drapery that are of no use to us. Not to mention the destruction caused by her deliberate actions to slander our business and personal name. We are in the process of pursuing legal action to keep Diana Peruzzi accountable for her fabrication of details, slanderous ways and defamation of our character.
In reading reviews made by a vengeful client that made every attempt to evade paying her balance, please consider that as helpful as business reviews can be, there are always individuals who participate in dishonest practices in hopes to obtain a reduced price, products for free or compensation as an additional discount. In some cases, regretful of overspending habits, they will stop at nothing by fabricating issues in order to receive compensation. We as a company are committed to take every measure to rectify orders as they are custom in nature and at times can require adjustments to be made to achieve the desired finished look. We will take a loss by making numerous trips as required to the clients home, but due to the nature of our business, we do not offer credits or refunds. This clearly makes certain clients furious who are accustomed to the method of receiving compensation or discounts depending on the degree of the harassment made to large outlets. Driven by their determination to receive compensation they will fabricate, create or
microscope every detail in hopes of not paying. This consumer practice may be accepted with depot outlets who are typically an additional 30-40% higher in price. Instead, we pride ourselves as a business, not only being very competitive in price but also will make every effort to rectify all issues regardless of losses incurred for travel or install fees. Unlike readymade items, delays are very normal with any custom made products.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
Besides using ActivInspire as an interactive whiteboard that you actually write on during the class session, you also have the ability to create presentations ahead of time to deliver to your students. What I mean by a presentation is that you, the teacher, are going to add information to the pages, and then interact with the pages during that particular lesson. If you'd like to follow along with the slides that I'm showing you in this particular video, please go to Chapter 2 of the Exercise Files and open the Presentation Examples flip chart. Here, the first page of our examples is what typically happens in a classroom when a teacher is using PowerPoint or Keynote to present their information.
They have a slide, and that slide just contains information that the students can visibly see. So for example on this particular page, I've added some basic text. I have the title of genotype definitions, and then I have the definitions for both a heterozygous and homozygous genotype. Students can see this information and then take notes from it. The real power of a Promethean board is not in just presenting information to students, but creating pages and activities that are interactive, that you can use to display and demonstrate information. For example, the second page in this shows a balance beam. Here, based on the way the board's set up, they have the opportunity to add various weights to the balance beam to see what would happen.
And then once the weights are added, you can also grab the weights and interact with them to move them around. So students can explore exactly what would happen in a physical environment, based on the rules that were built into this particular slide. This particular slide is a template that's provided by Promethean Planet, and you can access it in the Resource Browser. One of the great benefits to using these interactive slides is it allows for a student-centric classroom. If teachers are trying to model how things can change, as students move the weights around and add different types of weights to the various sides of the scale. Instead of having the teachers stand at the front of the room and click on these various items, students can come to the front of the room, using either the touch port or their Promethean pen.
And they can actually play and manipulate the information on the slide, so that they can learn through doing. Studies show that this is a much more effective way for students to actually master the content than just sitting in a passive environment, listening to the teacher talk. Now, while this is still great for introduction to content and the teacher can have various students coming forward, interacting with the board, while the rest of the class watches. This also gives you the ability to use your Promethean board as a station that students can stop by during a gallery walk or differentiated instruction. Another way you can use the Promethean Board is through interactive content.
This is a periodic table of elements that Promethean has also provided on Promethean Planet. As you hover over various elements, information about these elements appears in a table above the screen. This way, during an activity, you can just simply pull the table up. If students need information, they can walk to the front of the room, click on the element they're trying to learn about, and find the information for it. Also the bottom of the screen, students can actually change what information is presented for various elements, such as what is its melting point or boiling point. Or they can look at the physical properties of various elements as well.
The last page we're going to look at is how you can use presentations and student interactions to create a dynamic learning experience for students. Here we have a very visually appealing page that students can use to test themselves on whether or not they understand the difference between homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, and heterozygous. The first thing is that we have some interactions between the elements on the page. As students come forward to the board, students can double-check their work and see if they actually have the correct information in their notes. In addition to these elements being able to move up and down, we've also locked down the boards so that students can't move the gray squares.
They're only able to move the element they want, and they can only move it within a certain range, they can't move it left or right. We're going to dive in how to create this exact page later on in this course. We've also added some very cool elements like these glasses. These glasses act as a way for students to quickly check what's behind an object. So, for example, if you were going to have hidden answers on a sheet, students could walk up during class, grab these magic glasses, and they could quickly peek behind whatever item's there to double-check their work. One thing I love to do in the classroom is have the Promethean board set up with various layers.
The outside object has a question, and the underneath of that has the answer. As students come to conclusion in their own work, they can then walk up to the board, grab something like the magic glasses, and double-check their own work. I find in my own classroom that I use the Promethean board a variety of ways in a single lesson. Sometimes I'm annotating my desktop, sometimes I'm just writing on the whiteboard. And sometimes I have these interactive slides that I'm using to present content. At any time you're working inside of a Promethean board, you can always add content to it. The tool bar's always available to you. So for example, if I was in the middle of a lesson, and I realize that students are not doing a good job with the heterozygous gene.
I can come over here, simply grab a pen, come to the board and say, students, I'd really like you to focus on this particular genotype. So here I've added content to the slide in the middle of my lesson, yet I've not disrupted its functionality at all.

Samsung Electronics, the world's second-biggest maker of mobile phones by volume, reported a record net profit last year as it gained ground in the fast-growing market for hand-held mobile devices.
Analysts expect the South Korean company to further close the gap with Apple in the smartphone and tablet PC race, with its new Galaxy smartphones projected to mount a serious challenge to the iPhone, but warn the stronger won is likely to eat into its fat margins this year.
Results on Friday showed that operating profit from Samsung's telecoms division, which accounted for nearly half its total profits, surged 38 per cent to Won1,440bn ($1.3bn) in the October-December period, as its Galaxy S smartphones and the Galaxy Tab tablet PC gained in popularity. Samsung shipped a record 280m units of mobile phones in 2010, up 23 per cent from a year earlier.
"Samsung's Galaxy lines are the only major competitors to Apple's iPhone and iPad at the moment, while the other companies like Nokia, LG Electronics and Motorola are still struggling to come up with a competitive device to take on Apple," said Park Kang-ho, an analyst at Daishin Securities.
Samsung has sold about 10m units of the Galaxy S since its June launch of the smartphone based on Google's Android operating system, and about 2m units of the Galaxy Tab tablet PC in the past three months. It is fast catching up with Apple, which sold more than 7m iPads and 16.2m iPhones last quarter alone.
But analysts predict Samsung will face stiffer competition this year, as other rivals begin introducing their own offerings in the high-margin mobile device market.
"With global economic uncertainties remaining, we continue to expect some tough business environments in 2011, such as intensifying price competition for set products and price declines for major component products," Robert Yi, Samsung's chief of investor relations, said in a conference call.
The global smartphone market is forecast to grow more than 40 per cent this year to over 400m units, while the tablet PC market is forecast to more than double to 55m units.
Samsung reported a 12.6 per cent rise in fourth-quarter net profit to Won3,420bn, as robust sales of mobile phones offset lower prices of other major products such as flat-panel TVs and memory chips.
Full-year net profit was a record Won16,150bn compared with Won9,800bn in 2009.
This week, Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, gave a disappointing outlook for the first quarter after reporting a 21 per cent drop in fourth-quarter net profit. It has been rapidly losing ground to Apple and Samsung in the smartphone market, with its market share falling to 31 per cent from 38 per cent in the third quarter, compared with Apple's 17.4 per cent and Samsung's 9.3 per cent.
Samsung's shares rose 1.6 per cent on Friday to close at a record high in Seoul.

I made a test to send 50 webservice request from my computer(WinXP) as fast it could send to our Enterprise Manager(HP virtual machine). The result was that some of them went missing.
I couldn't count more than 47 of the in EM instance list. Is there somewhere a log that gives warning when the server can't handle the incoming request load?
How the overload throttling situation in production environment would be handled in most elegantly?
Any advice appreciated?

Arsenal and United used to fight each other for titles but it was advantage in the race for third place that was on the line when the two teams locked horns at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Both managers know the perils of finishing fourth. Having finished in fourth for six of the last nine seasons, Arsene Wenger knows all about the accompanying Champions League play-off ticket.

Hakred pretty much explained it all. I will add though that you can only trade in points for items if you live in the US, Canada or UK though. You can however trade in points for discounts off the official peta shop if you live outside of these though. You can earn as many as you like a day, it all depends how many actions you do ^_^You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey there, @spideygirl32913!
First of all – welcome to the street team! You earn points by taking action (http://www.peta2.com/actions/) on the street team. For easy access to street team missions, click the "TAKE ACTION" tab at the top of the page. Once you've accumulated enough points, you can trade them in for merchandise in the store (http://www.peta2.com/store/)! You can also navigate to the store through the link at the top of the page.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to let us (your fellow street teamers) or the staff know, or check out the FAQ: http://www.peta2.com/about/frequently-asked-questions/You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
