text: I will reserve judgement till the issues are addressed. I find it interesting that this inquiry by the FDA is targeted to certain specifics as if it were DD by a competitior in the field drawing into question if this procedure truely does fall within the guidelines or not. I mean it would be of interest as to at whose behest these points were decided to be focal points of the inspection. As it reads item for item along the lines of exactly what an opposing party would draw up as bullet points for a presentation of why another company should be inspected. Especially if that other companies processes stood to suffer potentially severe damage from a quicker less costly and equally or better effective same procedure. I have had some experience with inspections and usually if the resources are available a company simply goes about directing its procedures to meet those guidelines. If the cost savings and effectiveness are there, then no matter what stipulations are made, once met, the outcome will be a shift to the better procedure. Maybe this was a standard inspection however I just find it odd for an FDA inspector to make this sort of finding without being some kind of expert in the field or at the least make the finding a collaboration of experts. It would be easy for competition to take these assertions to the FDA and go about using their supposed expertise raise the questions. Guess we will see how Victor and company respond.

#19625 closed Bug (wontfix)
mysql 5.1 large decimalfield lookups return too few results
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
It seems that there is a bug in the mysql 5.1 (and probably lower) conversion of strings to decimals. Since Decimal value lookups are always passed to the mysql backend as strings, Django is affected.
See this example:
mysql> select version() as server_version\G *************************** 1. row *************************** server_version: 5.1.66-0+squeeze1-log ... mysql> create table abc (value decimal(31,0)); ... mysql> insert into abc values (1234567890123456789012345678901); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select value from abc where value = 1234567890123456789012345678901\G *************************** 1. row *************************** value: 1234567890123456789012345678901 ... mysql> select value from abc where value = '1234567890123456789012345678901'\G Empty set (0.01 sec)
Obviously, a fix could be to upgrade to a newer MySQL server version -- the MySQL 5.5.28 I tested didn't have this issue -- but that isn't always possible.
I suppose a workaround/fix might not be included in Django because the bug lies in MySQL, but I'll file it here for the record.
Test cases are included:
FAIL: test_decimal_field_broken1 (test_long_decimal.tests.DecimalTests) ... AssertionError: book with isbn 1234567890123456789012345678901 was not found
I tried to work around the bug by surrounding a decimal value in lookup with CAST(..), but that (sometimes!) triggers an SQL Warning (in other tests!) instead:
ERROR: test_decimal_field_works1 (test_long_decimal.tests.DecimalTests) ... Warning: Truncated incorrect DECIMAL value: ''
So, my easy fix did not work out as expected.
The proper fix, if any, would probably to force the backend to take the decimal as an *unquoted* value. But I didn't find an easy path to achieve that.

- Running Windows XP programs within a Windows 7 installation Accessing favorites quickly through jump lists Establishing user settings through Windows Explorer Setting up a home network with Homegroup Displaying similar sites with suggestions in Internet Explorer 8 Syncing photos on two computers with Live Sync
Skill Level Beginner
Brand new to Windows Live Essentials is Windows Live Writer, a very strong blog editor. Now, it will of course work with Windows Live Spaces. That's Microsoft's blogging service. That's what I have up here on my screen right now. But it also works well with pretty much every competing blog service available out there. You can easily post photos and video with Windows Live Writer, and through the use of add-ons it integrates well with a number of related services like Digg, Facebook, Flickr, and even Twitter. So to access Windows Live Writer, of course, you will have had to have installed it.
You will have had to chosen it during the Windows Live Essentials download and installation. And if so, you can click the Windows orb, go to All Programs, and in Windows Live, you'll see Windows Live Writer. And your very first time launching this you'll be prompted for information, such as the blog service you want to use. I choose Windows Live Spaces. You'll also be prompted for some personal information and once you have set up your connection to whatever blog service, this is what appears on your screen, your first blog entry or post.
So, now we are ready to start typing. Right at the very top, it says Enter a post title. I am going to click there and type California Trip. Now down below, I have got this empty space for adding text and inserting all kinds of other things as well. You'll notice on the right-hand side, in the Insert section you can insert hyperlinks, pictures, entire photo albums, there's video down there. So let's try out some of this. 'Here's some wildlife I saw in Santa Barbara,' and I'll just hit Enter, and I'm going to add a picture.
So, I go over to the right-hand side, click Picture and now I can start browsing my computer for pictures. Now if you have got the Exercise Files, you can follow along with me. Mine are on the desktop, but any picture will do here if you are just experimenting. I am going to double-click my Exercise Files, double-click the Chap12 folder, and in the 12_09 sub-folder, I've got these otters. So one click selects, I click Open, and it gets added to my blog post. Notice it appears here selected. You can see the handles around the outside. So, I can do things like go to a corner when a double-arrow appears.
I can adjust the size. If you want to just stretch it out, adjusting the width, more of the height. You can do that as well. And on the right-hand side, you'll notice some options as well. Text wrapping is set by default to Inline. So if I tried to move this, I really couldn't. The only way to move it is to add some more text in front of it. It's treated like any other character, unless I change this. I can click the dropdown and say I always want it on the left side, the right side or the center of my post. I am going to choose Center and you can see it moves over there and those handles still appear.
But they are really not selectable until I click the image itself. Now I can resize, if I wanted to. It stays centered though. All right, I am going to click just after it, and you'll notice I've got my flashing cursor on the left. I'll hit Return just to dropdown a little bit further. '...and here's the pier in Santa Barbara.' And I'll hit Return again and this time I'll insert some video. Now inserting video is a little bit trickier. You'll have to have a video URL.
And in that case, you would have to know the address, but you have got some other tabs. You can choose From File. You are going to be posting this to a YouTube account though, so you need to have a YouTube account set up or some other service like you'd see YouTube here, where we can login and access videos from our YouTube account. But mine is on my computer. So I am going to go From File. If you have got the Exercise Files, you have got one on your computer as well, and I am going to browse on to those Exercise Files again, just like we did for the picture. We are going to go to the Chap12 folder, 12_09 sub-folder to find that video of the Santa Barbara pier.
One click, and then Open. It takes us to the screen where the entire path will appear. A title and description are entered for us based on the name of this video, but we can change those if we wanted to. Same thing for the tags. We need to select a category. So, click the Categories button. I am going to choose Blogs. Permissions, if you have set them up in YouTube, you can select them from here but Public is the default, and you must agree to the Terms of Use. And when you click Insert, you'll be forced to login to your YouTube account. So, I am going to do that now, and when you click OK, it just takes a moment.
You'll see that it's actually being posted at your YouTube account and it's uploading the video right into your blog entry. So depending on the length of the video and the quality or resolution, this could take a while but it will get added to your blog post. So that's a fairly simple blog post based on California trip. I have to have a title and I have got some content down below. Now it's time to actually publish this to-- in this case for me, my Windows Live Spaces.
That's the service I decided to use for blogging. All I do is go up to the Publish button. Now before you do that you can go up to File, if you're not done with it for example, you could Save local draft. That means it's going to be saved on your computer, or you could post the draft to your blog. People would be able to see it then. And when you're ready actually publish it. I am just going to Save local draft and you can see it's being saved to the default folder over here. It's called California Trip, so I can access it at any time right from here.
I have also got this little Delete button if I want to delete it. I have got an untitled one that I didn't finish that I am going to delete. I'll confirm that by clicking Yes. And now I am going to go to go up here to Publish. When you're ready to publish, you click the Publish button, and you can see it's waiting for videos to finish publishing, but once the video has finished publishing and everything is set, I am going to be posting this blog to my Windows Live Spaces. So I am going to switch over to Internet Explorer. And here I am at Windows Live Spaces. I can view my space right from here.
And of course, it's going to take some time for that video to upload but here's where I am going to see some blogs. If I click the Blog button, I'll be able to see my post. Right now, there aren't any entries. I can add them right from here, but with Windows Live Writer, I have all of those extra tools that will allow me to post my blog entries right here to my Windows Live Spaces. So depending on how much you've added to your blog post, if you have added video, sometimes video files can be quite large and they take a while to upload. Eventually I'll see that here, and I can go in and view the contents of that blog entry.
So, if you are into blogging, Windows Live Writer can simplify the process of posting content including photos and video.

Centralia College Master Plan:
Proposals and Expansion
In 2010, Centralia College updated its 20-Year Master Plan. The result of this update can be viewed in the map.
Centralia College 20-Year Master Plan Map
Master Plan Narrative
The current master plan is largely the result of the 1999-2000 Facilities Committee work which identified major components and elements. After a campus wide review, and board of trustees approval, the 2001 master plan (attachment A) gave the college direction to:
- Direct traffic and vehicles to the south portion of the campus, away from the heavy traffic on Centralia College Blvd (formerly Locust St.).
- Replace the science building in the approximate location of the existing one (Ehret Hall).
- Build a new student center in the center of campus (SE corner of Washington and Walnut Streets).
- Re-site Kiser Natural Outdoor Learning Lab to the block north of Washington Hall.
- Centralize the early childhood education programs in the block currently occupied on the south side of the campus.
- Create a quad or courtyard area in the center of campus near the clock tower.
- Vacate internal streets, reducing vehicle traffic through the center of campus, and creating a pedestrian corridor
- Purchase properties within the approximate borders of Centralia College Blvd., Ash, Silver, and Plum streets.
Since that time, the New Science Center has been constructed, Lingreen removed to establish the beginning of a quad,and the site between China Creek and Washington Hall cleared for the Kiser Natural Outdoor Learning Lab. Walnut Street north of the Health and Wellness Center (aka gym) has been vacated in conjunction with renovation. A project proposal to replace the student center with a new facility in the center of campus has been approved by the state and is in the pre-design process. The college is preparing to submit a proposal for a new early childhood learning facility for competitive funding.
In 2004, a modification to the plan was made and approved by the board of trustees. That modification called for identification for two new facilities for short term training and continuing education on the east side of campus, and to establish an outdoor area for competitive and intramural sports.
The plan was modified and approved by the board of trustees again in 2007 to consider the footprint and impact of the New Science Center, and a revised concept of the outdoor sports area. No other major modifications were made at that time.
In 2010 the plan was again modified and approved by the board of trustees to expand its boundaries to adjust traffic circulation and parking areas on the perimeter of campus. This modification expanded the scope of the college's master plan north of Centralia College Boulevard (solely for the purpose of providing parking space) and west to the border of Cedar Street. This modification also took into account that the construction of Washington Hall (2001) and the New Science Center (2009) as well as the upcoming construction of the new College Commons (2015) has and will continue to shift the student demographic to the west, north and center portions of campus along with student parking and circulation.
These factors, along with the possible conversion of the Tacoma Rail line to a rail trail, drew attention to the need to expand the master plan westward, to Cedar Street and to the north side of Centralia College Boulevard.The modified plan also provides the college with opportunities to expand parking on the eastern boundary of the campus to facilitate parking need for the Health and Wellness Center.
These expansions provide two major benefits:
- Expansion of parking north of Centralia College Boulevard will provide those using the spaces with convenient access to the college campus and Main Street businesses without infringing upon residential parking needs.
- Expansion of parking between the Tacoma Rail line and Cedar Street, where a growing number of students are currently parking will support a growing student population in the Professional/Technical programs.
- Expansion of parking on the eastern boundary of the campus near the Health and Wellness Center will provide needed spaces for students and community members making use of the facility.
- Spreading out parking areas and providing extra parking spaces will facilitate the rising number of students attending the college, while also serving to alleviate residential and commercial parking shortages and neighborhood traffic congestion as the college continues to expand.
The college has also agreed to partner with the City of Centralia and a Neighborhood Advisory Committee to consider further modifications and expansions of the master plan.
Please forward any comments or concerns to the office of the Vice President of Finance & Administration or to individual members of the Facilities Committee.

- Mixing down audio and video
Skill Level Beginner
As we add, remove and refine our sequence, there will inevitably be times when we need to reorder and reposition material. The simplest way to do this is using the Segment Insert and Segment Overwrite tools. If I come over here to the Timeline palette and engage the Segment Overwrite tool, like so, now if I wanted to move this valley clip further up in my sequence, if I highlight the clip and drag it to the left, notice what happens. Only the video has come along for the ride. The audio has stayed positioned where it was.
So let's undo that: Command+Z on the Mac, Ctrl+Z on a Windows machine. This time let's engage the Link Selection toggle. Now when I click down and drag my clip, you can see that I'm actually taking the audio with the video. You can also see that as I drag using Overwrite mode, I am overwriting any clips that I happened to park over. In fact, if I did it again, I would have eliminated the rushing water clip.
If instead I were to toggle off the Lift/Overwrite mode and toggle on the Extract/Splice-in mode, we would get a different behavior. Let's drag the valley clip here, this clip, through to the beginning of the water clip, so click down, hold, drag, and I am going to drag it all the way to the beginning of the Timeline and let go. Look what happened. Instead of overwriting the water clip, the Valley clip inserted itself at the beginning of the sequence and pushed everything in the Timeline further down to make room.
That's what happens when you are moving clips around in the Timeline using either the Extract/Splice-in or the Lift/Overwrite segment modes. Let's do a different example with the Segment Overwrite arrow. So far, we have been positioning clips free fall, just dropping them where they may. If I wanted to snap a clip to a particular location, I could do it like this. I am going to hold down the cobweb clip, and I am going to hold down the Ctrl key on my Windows keyboard, or the Command key on my Mac keyboard.
Now, I can snap directly to the end of a clip, to the Timeline Position indicator, to the beginning of a click, or the beginning of the next click. So you can see I can actually position clips on the basis of significant moments in the Timeline, like so. The same would be true if I use the Extract/Splice-in mode. If I want to accurately position the cobweb clip at the beginning of my sequence, click, hold down, and hold down Command on the Mac or Ctrl on a Windows machine, drag, and now I know that I've inserted that clip directly at the beginning of the Timeline.
This is important. If I undo that look what happens if I do it again, but I don't hold down Ctrl, and I accidentally drop it just a couple of frames from the beginning. Now, I am going to get a little bit of the original clip, followed by the next clip. So to avoid flash frames like that, use the Snapping function in your Timeline to align your clips up accurately. So far, I've been working by toggling backwards and forwards between the Lift/Overwrite and the Extract/Splice-in mode.
Another way to work will be to engage both arrows at the same time. Now when I move over into my sequence, you can see that if I hover over the lower portion of my clip, I get Extract/Splice-in mode. If I hover over the upper portion of my clip, I get Lift/Overwrite mode. If I now wanted to overwrite the end of this clip with the valley, then I would click down on the upper portion of my clip, and I am in Lift/Overwrite mode. If I wanted to reposition the water clip at the beginning of my sequence, click down on the lower portion of my clip, and now I can drag that to the beginning of my sequence and let go.
The ability to move and reposition clips without losing sync between audio and video is controlled by the Link Selection toggle, by using either the Extract/Splice-in or the Lift/ Overwrite modes, either separately or in conjunction with each other, makes a very easy and intuitive approach to editing.

I asked her , do you see where the tenant called and requested service to be turned on in their name on 9-1-04. she said yes, and the service was turned on 9-2-04 in their name.
I asked do you see where i called in on 9-01-04 and s/w a rep. (man) and he assured me that service was never turned on in my name, she said that I requested service on 8-31-04 and service was turned on in my name. I then said your policy is you need 24hrs notice for service to be turned on or off. she said you had service and you have to pay the bill and the bill is due on and she mention the date...
they wouldn't help me. Please can anyone give some advice.
I live in NY and has a rental propery in Orlando, FL. I called Progress Energy on 8-31-04 to turn electric service on in my name at the property (I needed to make sure all is working because the power line was down, due to a tree falling on it.). I was told by the rep. to turn service on, they need a day's notice. With Hurrican Charlie, they don't know if they will get to it on 9-1-04, but he will put the request in.
A gentle man and his wife came by on 9-01-04 looked at the property, said they wanted to rent as of today 9-01-04. (There was no power) Tenants called Progress Energy and asked for service to be turned on in their name on 9-1-04.
I called Progress Energy (from NY )the same day(9-01-04) and asked if power was turned on in my name, the rep. said, they didn't get to that address as yet, the service wasn't turned on as yet. The service will be turned on, on the 2nd. I said I don't need the service to be in my name because the tenant called and gave you his info, to turn on in his name and I mention tenants name.
The rep. says yes, and mentioned the tenant's name.
the service will be turned on in the tenant's name as of 9-2-04. I asked was it ever turned on in my name? he replied No mem.
I asked, am I going to be billed for anything, he said, "No, because service was never turned on at that address".
"Mem, service is being turned on, in the tenants name, on 9-2-04"..
I wouldn't have a problem paying this bill, but there was no service to the property until 9-02-04. I can't pay for service that was never received.
please, anyone, can you tell me what I should do. Helppp!!!!!!!!

And then just out of the blue, as they say, comes a long letter from one of our so many (about 60) kids that lived and worked with us during our busy dude ranch/cattle ranch operation. What a happy time to reminisce about life, the life and times of an important era in these many teenagers' history.

The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — In parched West Texas, it's often easier to drill for oil than to find new sources of water.
So after years of diminishing water supplies made even worse by the second-most severe drought in state history, some communities are resorting to a plan that might have seemed absurd a generation ago: turning sewage into drinking water.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A school principal was killed Wednesday in an apparent homicide at a private school and a 17-year-old student was taken into custody, police said.
Officers said the body of Suzette York, 49, was discovered by a teacher shortly after 11 a.m. at Memphis Junior Academy, a Seventh-day Adventist Church-affiliated school in east Memphis.
Police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph said the student was taken into custody at the school.
A motive and cause of death were not immediately disclosed.
PELLA, Iowa — Republican Mitt Romney is criticizing President Barack Obama for his plans to embark on a Midwestern bus tour while the economy is struggling.
Romney is in central Iowa talking about jobs and the nation's business climate. He's attending a GOP fundraiser in Des Moines ahead of Thursday night's Republican presidential debate in Ames.
Romney says he would tell Obama, "I sure as heck wouldn't be on a bus tour if I were president."
BIRMINGHAM, England — With police nowhere to be seen, the Muslims of Dudley Road armed themselves with bricks and stones, clubs and cricket bats to fend off carloads of marauding gangs.
Their vigilante stand in Birmingham's west end saved a humble row of family-run shops and a red-brick mosque from the looters' grasp — but at a terrible cost.
MEXICO CITY — A radical group that opposes nanotechnology has has claimed responsibility for at least two bombing attacks on researchers in Mexico, and it praises the "Unabomber," whose mail-bombs killed three people and injured 23 in the United States.
A manifesto posted Tuesday on a radical website mentions at least five other Mexican researchers whose work it opposes, and lauded Theodore Kaczynski, who is serving a life sentence for bombs that targeted university professors and airline executives.
When officer Sammy Clouthier came upon the silver Dodge Ram parked in the middle of Bond Street in Wagon Mound shortly before 7 p.m. last Wednesday he activated his red emergency lights and went to see what the problem was.
Clouthier, an officer with the New Mexico Department of Public Safety's Motor Transportation Police, ended up taking John Apodaca, 53, of the 1100 block of Railroad Avenue in Wagon Mound, into custody on a drunken driving charge.
It wasn't Apodaca's first drunken driving arrest. Or his second. Or even his third.

For the Optic
The city of Las Vegas has been cremating animals euthanized at its shelter for years, but that practice changed recently when it learned that its incinerator was no longer safe to operate.
The incinerator, which is used as a crematory for both euthanized animals and roadkill, has been out of commission for three months.
The determination that the incinerator is no longer safe to operate came from NCE-Crawford-Emcotek, the company that manufactured it.
After being closed for a year for a major expansion that never happened, West Las Vegas' Tony Serna Elementary is getting set to reopen.
Although the expansion fell through, the district replaced sewer lines that had collapsed, renovated bathrooms throughout the school and painted classrooms.
The school's kitchen is currently being gutted and redone, and the Public School Facilities Authority recently announced that the district would be receiving money for a roof project at Tony Serna.
The Associated Press
SANTA FE — Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr., already accused of misusing campaign money and under investigation for questionable charges on his state-issued gas card, is now a suspect in a stolen vehicle case, according to Santa Fe police.
Police told KOB-TV Monday that Block is accused of test driving a used Honda from Capitol City Auto and never returning it. Police say the car was missing for three weeks before it was found undamaged last week on the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.

It's not in the functions.php The problem is in the sidebar.php or if there's another bar, it's there. I'm not in the business of fixing other people's themes, but if you post a link to the theme or send it to me I'll fix it this time.
Alternatively, you can use my theme: http://3dohio.com/wordpress/2007/08/14/wordpress-theme-black-and-tan/

'This Town' puts D.C. under witty, insightful, sobering microscope
The clubby political world of Washington, D.C., as Mark Leibovich describes it in "This Town," resembles WWE a little: faces and heels acting out story lines of intense conflict while all working together to get rich.
"A gold rush has enthralled the place," Leibovich writes. "It has, in recent years, become a crucible of easy wealth, fame, forgiveness and next acts. Punditry has replaced reporting as journalism's highest calling, accompanied by a mad dash of 'self-branding,' to borrow a term that had now fully infested the city." »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'My Uncle's Death'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
John Updike submitted "My Uncle's Death," as much a sketch as a story, to The New Yorker in 1962. After that magazine turned it down, he published it in The Saturday Evening Post in 1963. While this story doesn't have the heft of "The Blessed Man of Boston, My Grandmother's Thimble, and Fanning Island," to mention one of his other stories about a death in the family, it's worth a read to see Updike work with such primal material. »Read Full Blog Post

Election turnout 'great,' GOP wins big
Area county clerks are reporting 50% and greater voter turnout form Tuesday's mid-term election. Even Iroquois County, with no contested local races, recorded a 52% voter turnout.
"There was so much publicity and advertising about the importance of the election. I think that generated voter interest," Iroquois County Clerk Lisa Fancher said.
Iroquois County had referenda questions in Sheldon and the Crescent-Iroquois school district. Both were defeated. All other county office-holders were un-opposed.
Kankakee County had all sorts of contested matters, county board races and referenda questions.
Voter turnout in Kankakee County was 56%. Ford County and Livingston County turnout came in at 52 and 53%, respectively.
Bruce Rauner was the announced-winner in the Illinois Governor's race. Rauner's victory led the way for several GOP victories across Illinois and the country. Republicans will be in control of the U-S senate when the new Congress convenes in January.

You pay $20 deposit when you get the tool, and you get your money back when you return the tool. At [$] you can afford to purchase one and keep it.

This is an up-to-date 6.2 Brew Monk Rotation for World of Warcraft WoD. There are many ways you can go about using your rotation depending on what you're doing. For instance, someone looking for a brewmaster monk rotation pvp 6.2 would use a totally different rotation than someone else looking for a brewmaster monk rotation pve 6.2, so there is no go-to brewmaster rotation unless you're using an addon to help you out.

This is where the rubber starts to meet the road. While only a game of one-on-one, it's the first game that makes some attempt to incorporate the character of actual players: Larry Bird is good at 3-point shots while Dr. J is good at dunking. That doesn't mean there aren't weird things about this game. For one, the 3-point arc is cut off, meaning there are no corner 3s, a future staple of video game basketball. But on the bright side, you can break the backboard and a grumpy janitor will come sweep up the glass.

Sub-Theme: X-Treme Team
Set Nr.: 6584
Name: Extreme Team Challenge
Number of minifigs: 4
Number of pieces: 354
Release Year: 1998
Let's start off with a few quick shots of the box & instructions:
Inside of the box:
We got some ideas for alternative models on the backside (the same ones are also on the backside of the instructions):
Here's an overall view of this huge set:
We get 4 minifigs, each with different heads and color patterns, which i really like:
...and also a good amount of equipment for them:
Let's move on with the cool vehicles, there are 3 (!) completely different ones in this set, first is the neat little trike:
Next, the not less neat "4-wheeled off-road-thing" (don't know what's it called really ):
And finally the huge Monster truck, i love the chrome sidepipes and the wench with the hook in the back, which adds a lot of playability:
Oh, i almost forgot our brave adventurers also have got a raft to ride the wild mountain waters:
Now let's focus on the many details of the mountain base. We got a bridge over troubled waters, but be aware, it's very unstable! Love the wood patterns on the yellow 1x6 tiles:
On a corner a camera is mounted to document the wild life:
For the evenings we also got a little campfire:
Down by the river sits a grey falcon and watches the guys on their challenges:
What's that? Seems not very safe, to be honest..be aware when you pass by these rocks....
....cause it will collapse!
Let's move up again where the tent is placed, inside is plenty of space to take a rest for the figs and to store their equipment:
But i think they should have built the tent on another place cause the ground isn't very good there:
When you pull the mechanism, a trap door opens:
Will the guys all come back home safe and not injured? You decide! All in all this is a really great set, ome may say it is a bit juniorized because of the baseplate, but it really isn't. It's got a LOT of playability and some rare parts, the biggest beeing the baseplate which is only available in this set. I hope you liked my review, let me know your opinions!

The second trainer I had convinced me to sign an additional contract because he said my other contract was expiring. I found out this was untrue months later when BF Southeast LLC, the company that makes the contracts for Gold's Gym sent me a letter in the mail stating I had not paid them.
When I called them the person on their customer service line informed me that I should have read the back of my original contract and then insinuated that I was stupid for taking a manager's word that my original contract had expired.
They told me I would be turned into a collection agency if I did not pay. In the mean time they had still not contacted me about 31 training sessions that I was still owed after firing my last trainer. It seems they are only willing to hold people to the customer's side of the contract whether they are willing to fulfill their part or not.
So after paying them $450 it is two months later and no one at the Gold's Gym nor BF Southeast LLC has contacted me about these training sessions I am owed. Now when I call BF Southeast LLC's customer service line I get an answering machine that tells me to leave a message and they never call me back. I have written letters to both companies and never gotten a single response.
It is my experience that you should never sign anything with Gold's Gym of BF Southeast LLC's name on it. They will trick you, lie to you, and then have your signature on a piece of paper holding you to policies that you can't prove they lied to you about. BF Southeast LLC has an F rating from the Better Business Bureau and for good reason. It is amazing to me there isn't a class action lawsuit against them already.
This company should be ashamed of themselves to practice business the way they do. When I did get customer service on the phone I was told that I was not allowed to speak to their managers nor have their manager's name. It seems like their policy for customer complaints is to simply ignore them and field questions to minimum wage employees that can do nothing but quote rhetoric about contracts back at you.
Never do business with BF Southeast LLC or any gym that does business with them including ant Gold's Gym in North Carolina. In fact, if you Google search BF Southeast LLC the first 5 results are all about how they rip people off.

Publisher's Description
Over 29 issues addressed, including:
Who made God; where did God come from?
Has Noah's ark been found?
Hasn't Bible text been changed over the years?
Is Hell real?
Did the ten plagues of Egypt really happen?
We are an increasingly skeptical society whether it comes to politics, science, or even faith. People see conflict everywhere, even about fundamental aspects of the Bible. When church leaders are at odds about biblical truth and scriptural authority, believers are left confused and uncertain, needing clear biblical truth.
Addressing topics from popular culture like the Shroud of Turin, or "missing" books of the Bible, and even what makes God's Word unique among holy books, How Do We Know the Bible is True? Vol. 2 is a "must have" resource for churches, libraries, and home study.

Interview with Professor James Heckman, Noted scholar and Nobel Prize winner
Noted scholar and Nobel Prize winner James Heckman. Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, where he directs the Economics Research Center and the Center for Social Program Evaluation at the Harris School, answers questions about the economic return on early childhood investment. He also argues that investing in children's socio-cultural skills – such as perseverance, motivation and self-confidence – will provide more economic and social return than investing in social programmes or infrastructure.
1. Could you briefly outline the main arguments and key research findings on the importance of ECCE for productivity and economic growth?
- The compelling arguments for ECCE being a wise investment
Families play a powerful role in shaping adult outcomes. The accident of birth is a major source of inequality. Recent research shows that in American society, about half the inequality in the present value of lifetime earnings is due to factors determined before adulthood. It is possible that the figure is as high, or even higher, in Western Europe because labor market inequality is lower there. Compared to 50 years ago, a greater fraction of American children is being born into disadvantaged families where investments in children are smaller than in advantaged families. Growing unassimilated immigrant populations in Western Europe create similar adverse trends there. Many major economic and social problems such as crime, teenage pregnancy, dropping out of high school, and adverse health conditions are linked to low levels of skill and ability in society.
- Ability gaps start early
Ability gaps between the advantaged and disadvantaged open up early in the lives of children. Family environments of young children are major predictors of cognitive and socioemotional abilities, as well as of a variety of outcomes such as crime and health. Experimental evidence on the positive effects of early interventions on children in disadvantaged families is consistent with a large body of nonexperimental evidence showing that the absence of supportive family environments harms child outcomes. If society intervenes early enough, it can improve cognitive and socioemotional abilities, and the health of disadvantaged children. Early interventions promote schooling, reduce crime, foster workforce productivity, and reduce teenage pregnancy. These interventions are estimated to have high benefit-cost ratios and rates of return.
Early childhood is more important in the presence of critical and sensitive periods in the development of many capabilities. This has been documented by many scholars for humans and animals. I myself, with other coauthors, also showed that the early years in the life of a child are sensitive periods for the production of cognitive skills, and the adolescent years are sensitive periods for the production of noncognitive skills. Later remediation for early disadvantage is costly and often ineffective. It is economically more efficient to prevent human development problems than to remediate them.
- Early intervention pays higher returns than later intervention
As programs are currently configured, interventions early in the life cycle of disadvantaged children have much higher economic returns than later interventions such as reduced pupil-teacher ratios, public job training, convict rehabilitation programs, adult literacy programs, tuition subsidies, or expenditure on police. The returns are much higher than those found in most active labor market programs in Europe.
Life cycle skill formation is dynamic in nature. Skill begets skill; motivation begets motivation. Motivation cross-fosters skill, and skill cross-fosters motivation. If a child is not motivated to learn and engage early on in life, the more likely it is that when the child becomes an adult, he or she will fail in social and economic life. The longer society waits to intervene in the life cycle of a disadvantaged child, the more costly it is to remediate disadvantage. A major refocus of policy is required to capitalize on knowledge about the importance of the early years in creating inequality and in producing skills for the workforce.
- The importance of non-cognitive factors and environment in success
Cognitive ability is known to be a powerful determinant of socioeconomic success. However, cognition is not the sole determinant of achievement, nor necessarily a primary determinant of achievement. Other aspects of character including socio-emotional or noncognitive traits such as personality, health, mental health, perseverance, time preference, risk aversion, self-esteem, self-control, preference for leisure, conscientiousness, and motivation are also powerful predictors of socio-economic success and are as powerful as cognitive abilities in producing many adult outcomes.
Further, the evidences suggested by recent research substantially amend a traditional belief about the importance of IQ. The analysis in an often-cited book
The Bell Curve assigned a primary role to genetics in explaining the origins of differences in human cognitive ability and a primary role to cognitive ability in shaping adult outcomes. If cognitive ability is genetically determined and is primary in shaping adult outcomes, public policy toward disadvantaged populations is limited to transfer payments to the less able. Experiments that enrich the early environments of disadvantaged children provide powerful evidence against the genetic determinism. Recent research establishes the power of socioemotional abilities and an important role for environment and intervention in creating abilities. The field of epigenetics demonstrates how genetic expression is strongly influenced by environmental influences and that environmental effects on gene expression can be inherited.
In analyzing policies that foster skills and abilities, society should recognize the multiplicity of human abilities. Currently, public policy in the United States and many other countries focuses on promoting and measuring cognitive ability through IQ and achievement tests. A focus on achievement test scores ignores important non-cognitive factors that promote success in school and life.
2. Although most of your research has been based on the North American experience, could you cite some examples drawn from countries in other parts of the world that demonstrate the linkages between ECCE, human capital formation and economic development?
Some European studies can be cited. The well-known Romanian orphanage study, the "Sure Start" program in the UK, the Irish "Preparing Future Life" program are examples of experimental studies. Researches using non-experimental data in Europe such as the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSEOP) and the British Cohort Study (BCS) also can be mentioned. All studies point in the same direction.
3. A major concern in almost all countries is the gap between those children who benefit from good nutrition, a healthy and secure environment, cognitive stimulation and interaction with caring adults – and those who do not. What is the evidence for the equalizing power of ECCE and what can governments do to promote equity?
It is not simply the matter of parents' income. What really matters is the quality of early environments which children are born to. There are substantial differences in family environments and investments in children across socioeconomic groups.
Recent research demonstrates important differences in the family environments and investments of advantaged and disadvantaged children. Gaps in cognitive stimulation, affection, punishment, and other parental investments for children from families of different socioeconomic status open up early. Intact families invest far greater amounts in their children than do single parent families although the exact mechanisms causing this remain to be established.
There are substantial gaps in cognitive stimulation and affection at early ages by socio-economic groups, and they persist throughout childhood. Family environments for many children are worsening around the world. A divide is opening up in many other countries between the advantaged and the disadvantaged in the quality of early family environments. Those born into disadvantaged environments are receiving relatively less stimulation and child development resources than those from advantaged families. This phenomenon creates inequality within and across generations. Policies that supplement the child rearing resources available to disadvantaged families will reduce inequality and raise productivity.
- No equity-efficiency trade-off: a unique feature of early childhood interventions
Economists often discuss equity/efficiency tradeoffs. A policy that improves efficiency often promotes inequality (e.g., a reduction in capital gains taxes). For adolescent and young adult interventions, there are substantial equity-efficiency tradeoffs for interventions in the lives of the less able, especially those that are targeted towards fostering cognitive capabilities. This is due to dynamic complementarity, or synergy, in the process of human skill formation.
Remedial interventions for disadvantaged adolescents who do not receive a strong initial foundation of skills face an equity-efficiency tradeoff. They are difficult to justify on the grounds of economic efficiency and generally have low rates of return. But early interventions are different. If early investments are followed by continued high quality learning experiences, then it promotes economic efficiency and reduces lifetime inequality. There is no equity-efficiency trade-off for early interventions for the disadvantaged. This is a unique feature of early childhood intervention programs.

Personal Injury and Product Liability
When considering a Personal injury or Product liability attorney, experience and a proven track record are critical to a successful case. Beasley Allen has acquired the reputation of being one of the most successful personal injury and product liability law firms in the country. Our personal injury and product liability attorneys have built a national reputation in handling these types of cases with exceptional skill, diligence and success. Our attorneys work closely with our support staff to provide thorough and detailed evaluations and research for each case.
What is personal injury?
A personal injury occurs when a person has suffered some form of injury to the body, either physical or psychological. Usually these claims also assert that the person's injury has been caused by the negligent or wanton conduct of another.
The most common type of personal injury claims arise out of traffic accidents, accidents in the workplace, assault claims, accidents in the home, aviation accidents, nursing home neglect, and sexual abuse.
What is Product Liability?
When individuals are harmed, injured or killed by an unsafe, or defective, product, they may have a cause of action against the manufacturer, supplier, distributor or retailer of that product. This area of law is known as Product Liability. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents costs more than $700 billion each year.
In the United States, the claims most commonly associated with product liability are negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty and various consumer protection claims. The majority of product liability laws are determined at the state level and vary widely from state to state. Each type of product liability claim requires different elements to be proven to present a successful claim.
A products liability claim is usually based on one or more of the following:
- Design defect
- Manufacturing defect
- Failure to warn
What can I do?
