This tutorial assumes that you have basic understanding of development for the Eclipse platform. Please see Eclipse RCP Tutorial or Eclipse Plug-in Tutorial if you need any basic information.
An Eclipse RCP application runs in one process but can create multiple threads.
By default the Eclipse framework uses a single thread to run all the code instructions. This thread runs the event loop for the application and is the only thread that is allowed to interact with the user interface (UI). It is called the main thread. Sometimes it is also called the UI thread, but this is a misnomer as it handles all events not only the ui events.
If another
tries to update the UI,
the Eclipse
framework throws an
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access
All events in the user interface are executed one after another. If you perform a long running operation in the main thread, the application does not respond to user interaction during the execution time of this operation.
Blocking the user interaction is considered a bad practice. Therefore it is important to perform all long running operations in a separate thread. Long running operations are, for example, network or file access.
As only the main thread is allowed to modify the user interface, the Eclipse framework provides ways for a thread to synchronize itself with the main thread. It also provides the Eclipse Jobs framework which allows you to run operations in the background and providing feedback of the job status to the Eclipse platform.

application via dependency injection.

methods to synchronize with the main thread.
The Eclipse Jobs API provides support for running background
processes and providing feedback
about the progress of the
The important parts of the Job API are:
IJobManager - schedules jobs
Job - the individual task to perform
IProgressMonitor - interface to communicate information about the status of your Job.
The creation and scheduling of a
is demonstrated in the following code snippet.
// get UISynchronize injected as field @Inject UISynchronize sync; // more code Job job = new Job("My Job") { @Override protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // do something long running //... // If you want to update the UI sync.asyncExec(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // do something in the user interface // e.g. set a text field } }); return Status.OK_STATUS; } }; // Start the Job job.schedule();
If you want to update the user interface from a
you need to synchronize the corresponding action with the user

You can set the

The Eclipse job scheduler will use these priorities to determine in

class for details.
Sometimes you simply want to give the user the feedback that something is running without using threads.
The easiest
way to provide feedback is to change
cursor via the
method call.
// Show a busy indicator while the runnable is executed BusyIndicator.showWhile(display, runnable);
If this code is executed, the cursor will change to a
until the
is done.
Your threads can use the
to send event data. Every listener will be automatically called and if
a method is annotated with the
annotation, it will be
called in the main thread.
private static final String UPDATE ="update"; // get the IEventBroker injected @Inject IEventBroker broker; // somewhere in you code you do something // performance intensive button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() { @Override public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) { Runnable runnable = new Runnable() { public void run() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { try { Thread.sleep(500); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } // send out an event to update // the UI broker.send(UPDATE, i); } } }; new Thread(runnable).start(); } }); // more code // .... // get notified and sync automatically // with the UI thread @Inject @Optional public void getEvent(@UIEventTopic(UPDATE) int i) { // text1 is a SWT Text field text1.setText(String.valueOf(i)); System.out.println(i); }
An instance of an
is passed to the run method of a
and can be used to monitor the
progress of the job. When methods inside the job need to report
feedback on the
progress, a child of the
is passed rather than passing the actual SubMonitor. It is good practice to convert the

before using it. This allows to use a consistent API for process reporting of child processes and the main process.
can be created similar to this:
SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 3);
final List<Task> tasks = taskService.getTasks(); Job job = new Job("My Job") { @Override protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // convert to SubMonitor and set total number of work units SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, tasks.size()); for (Task task : tasks) { try { // sleep a second TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1); // set the name of the current work subMonitor.setTaskName("I'm working on Task " + task.getSummary()); // workOnTask is a method in this class which does some work // pass a new child with the totalWork of 1 to the mehtod workOnTask(task, subMonitor.split(1)); } catch (InterruptedException e) { return Status.CANCEL_STATUS; } } return Status.OK_STATUS; } }; job.schedule();
When using a
it is not necessary to call the
method or the
method, since this is done implicitly by the
In some cases the amount of work depends on conditions, which should also be properly reported.
This can be done by using the
method of the
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // convert to SubMonitor and set total number of work units SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 100); if(taskNeedsPreconfiguration(task)) { // Takes 30 % of the work preConfigureTask(task, subMonitor.split(30)); } // ensure only 70 % of the work remains subMonitor.setWorkRemaining(70); // do the rest of the work workOnTask(task, subMonitor.split(70)); return Status.OK_STATUS; }
In case the code in the
if block is run, the
method actually does nothing. Only in case the code of the if block
is skipped it ensures that the process monitoring
is done properly.
Another use case for using
is when the actual work is determined later. See
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // convert to SubMonitor and set total number of work units SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 100); if(taskNeedsPreconfiguration(task)) { // Takes 30 % of the work preConfigureTask(task, subMonitor.split(30)); } // ensure only 70 % of the work remains subMonitor.setWorkRemaining(70); // do the rest of the work workOnTask(task, subMonitor.split(70)); return Status.OK_STATUS; } private void preConfigureTask(Task task, IProgressMonitor monitor) { SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 100); subMonitor.setTaskName("Preconfiguring Task " + task.getSummary()); // ... do the configuration } private void workOnTask(Task task, IProgressMonitor monitor) { SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 100); subMonitor.setTaskName("Work on Task " + task.getSummary()); SubMonitor loopRelatedTasksMonitor = subMonitor.split(80); // get related tasks from a service, which should also be preconfigured List<Task> relatedTasks = taskService.findRelatedTasks(task); // setWorkRemaining can also be applied, if the actual work is determined later loopRelatedTasksMonitor.setWorkRemaining(relatedTasks.size()); for (Task relatedtask : relatedTasks) { preConfigureTask(relatedtask, loopRelatedTasksMonitor.split(1)); } // ... do work on the actual task with the remaining 20 % doWorkOnActualTask(task, subMonitor.split(20)); }
For the loop in the
a new child
SubMonitor, which is supposed to do 80 % of the work, is created. Later on the
actual remaining work for this
is set by the

interface to show the progress.
This is demonstrated in the following example.
package com.example.e4.rcp.todo.toolcontrols; import java.util.Objects; import javax.annotation.PostConstruct; import javax.inject.Inject; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.NullProgressMonitor; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.IJobChangeEvent; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.JobChangeAdapter; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.ProgressProvider; import org.eclipse.e4.ui.di.UISynchronize; import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.ProgressBar; public class ProgressMonitorControl { private final UISynchronize sync; private ProgressBar progressBar; private GobalProgressMonitor monitor; @Inject public ProgressMonitorControl(UISynchronize sync) { this.sync = Objects.requireNonNull(sync); } @PostConstruct public void createControls(Composite parent){ progressBar = new ProgressBar(parent, SWT.SMOOTH); progressBar.setBounds(100, 10, 200, 20); monitor = new GobalProgressMonitor(); Job.getJobManager().setProgressProvider(new ProgressProvider() { @Override public IProgressMonitor createMonitor(Job job) { return monitor.addJob(job); } }); } private final class GobalProgressMonitor extends NullProgressMonitor { // thread-Safe via thread confinement of the UI-Thread // (means access only via UI-Thread) private long runningTasks = 0L; @Override public void beginTask(final String name, final int totalWork) { sync.syncExec(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { if(runningTasks <= 0) { // --- no task is running at the moment --- progressBar.setSelection(0); progressBar.setMaximum(totalWork); } else { // --- other tasks are running --- progressBar.setMaximum(progressBar.getMaximum() + totalWork); } runningTasks++; progressBar.setToolTipText("Currently running: " + runningTasks + "\nLast task: " + name); } }); } @Override public void worked(final int work) { sync.syncExec(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { progressBar.setSelection(progressBar.getSelection() + work); } }); } public IProgressMonitor addJob(Job job){ if(job != null){ job.addJobChangeListener(new JobChangeAdapter() { @Override public void done(IJobChangeEvent event) { sync.syncExec(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { runningTasks--; if (runningTasks > 0){ // --- some tasks are still running --- progressBar.setToolTipText("Currently running: " + runningTasks); } else { // --- all tasks are done (a reset of selection could also be done) --- progressBar.setToolTipText("No background progress running."); } } }); // clean-up event.getJob().removeJobChangeListener(this); } }); } return this; } } }
This new element can be accessed via the model service and used as an
for the job.
Job job = new Job("My Job") { // code as before }; job.schedule();
A more advanced implementation could, for example, implement a progress monitoring OSGi Service and report progress to the user interface via the event service.

This of course concludes in a really poor user experience, which should definitely be avoided.
In order to realize that a user has canceled a Job the
IProgressMonitor, which is passed to the
method of a Job, can be asked whether the Job has been canceled. This
can be done by calling the

This check for cancellation should be done in a frequent manner, so that the user does not have to wait too long until the job will really be canceled.
Job job = Job.create("CancelAbleJob", monitor -> { SubMonitor subMonitor = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, todos.size()); for (Todo todo : todos) { if(subMonitor.isCanceled()) { return Status.CANCEL_STATUS; } processTodo(subMonitor.newChild(1), todo); } return Status.OK_STATUS; }); job.schedule();

A Choreographer of Clay
I always molded things as a child - whether it was homemade playdoh my parents made me and my brother, or clay from the mud bank near our house (I remember drying tiny mice figurines on the woodstove!), a malleable starburst candy (before eating - tastes better as a cat shape!), or simple plasticine made into television characters. I guess moving on to polymer clay makes sense in hindsight!
And I've always needed that creative outlet. In Spring 2011 I opened my shop on Etsy. A colleague in my office had one, and I thought, "I could do that!". I went out to Hobbycraft and bought £20 worth of polymer clay and set to it.
In December 2011 my contract at work ended. I took it as an opportunity - I could look for another job, or I could see how far I could take my crafting. I gave myself three months, then another three... the ride has been too fun to stop! Now I don't know if I could ever return to the office!
I've now gone back to university to do a PhD in archaeology (my other interest!). Etsy helps me afford the tuition and gives me the flexibility to work around my studies. I love making my jewellery and I have so many more designs up my sleeve - I look forward to making them for many years more!

The study had 3 unknowns:1. Rate of surgical failure of TURBT2. Efficacy of Apaziquone to treat surgical failure3. Rate of spontaneous new cancers.Apaziquone could have been 100% successful in treatment of surgical failure with minimal side effects; but still failed.For example:the failure rate of TURBT might have been low; say 8%The efficacy of Apaziquone might have been perfect, 100%.The rate of spontaneous new cancers in 2 years might have been 20%.This would result in following numbers.Apaziquone group hour 1: 32 residual tumors.Day 1 after treatment: 0 residual tumors.2 years: 80 cancersApaziquone total:80Control group32 treatment failures + 80 spontaneous new cancers =11280 vs 112 might have p >.05Combined 2 studies: 160 vs 224 p<.05So if can show that Apaziquone has excellent efficacy and minimal side effects; FDA might consider approval.On the other hand, Apaziquone might have failed due to poor efficay. Data shows that Apaziquone would have past if different study design. If end point was 21 months instead of 24 months, might have been statistically significant. If combined two studies would have been statistically significant. From reported results can't determine if Apaziquone is an excellent drug with excellent efficacy and minimal side effects or if Apaziquone is a very mediocre drug. What is 100% certain is that the study design was very poor. They should have done a study which measured only what Apaziquone was trying to do: treatment of failed TURBT; not a study with 3 moving parts. It also appears Raj didn't have a good idea of (a) percent of failure of TURBT and (c) spontaneous development of new cancers. My guess is the failure of phase III study was due to major blunder by Raj in the study design, rather than problems with Apaziquone.
Should have been multi-instillation, so the focus is on that study now? years away but Apaziquone is not dead, and maybe they can still find something worthy in this study, Raj said they should meet with the FDA in a few weeks on the CC.
Single instillation would have met SPA if combined 1600 patient study or shorter study. If study 1 year would have met SPA and probably 18 months, maybe 21 months. Many Urologists don't use Mitomycin C because they figure that the rate of surgical treatment failure is low and most of recurrent cancers due to spontaneous new cancers, not treatment failure. Looks like these Urologist who don't use Mitomycin C are correct. Big problem with study is surgical treatment failure rate is probably less than 10% for these low grade cancers. Therefore, not much for Apaziquone to work on and the big number for spontaneous new cancers obscured Apaziquone effect. Problem with literature, there was probably a lot of unsuccessful studies that people did not bother to report. Investigators sometimes only report the successful studies, not the ones that fail.
That is the major points of short sellers that smalldrug companies cut coners with PII trials and have poor PIII designs based on questionable PII results. Thereae still more than 50% FDA may approve A on the combinedresults. Last and this years many small companies PIIIfailures sure prove they are right 99% right.
Hate to say it but SPPI is terrible in this area.

Chinese students are the largest international student group in UK universities today, yet little is known about their undergraduate writing and the challenges they face. Drawing on the British Academic Written English corpus - a large corpus of proficient undergraduate student writing collected in the UK in the early 2000s - this study explores Chinese students' written assignments in English in a range of university disciplines, contrasting these with assignments from British students. The study is supplemented by questionnaire and interview datasets with discipline lecturers, writing tutors and students, and provides a comprehensive picture of the Chinese student writer today.
Theoretically framed through work within academic literacies and lexical priming, the author seeks to explore what we know about Chinese students' writing and to extend these findings to undergraduate writing more generally. In a globalized educational environment, it is important for educators to understand differences in writing styles across the student body, and to move from the widespread deficit model of student writing towards a descriptive model which embraces different ways of achieving success.
Chinese Students' Writing in English will be of value to researchers, EAP tutors, and university lecturers teaching Chinese students in the UK, China, and other English or Chinese-speaking countries.

Freshman sensation Josie Matz pulled another clutch performance out of the hat, leading and pushing the Wilson Lady Rams to a 58-33 victory over Mercer Island on Thursday night at the Tacoma Dome. The Lady Rams (20-5) move on to play Bishop Blanchet (21-4) at 9 p.m. Friday night in the semifinals of the 3A State Hardwood Classic.
Matz finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and three steals after a first-half struggle where she could only muster four points. Luckily, Wilson owned a 22-12 halftime lead in a game where Mercer Island never led.
Mercer Island (17-9) ended the game converting an abysmal 12.7 percent of their shots in the face of stiff Wilson defensive pressure. Wilson out rebounded the Islanders 63-40, led by Violet Morrow's massive 18 rebounds to go along with nine points. Tyra Foster added another 11 rebounds and seven points.
WILSON: Josie Matz 25, Kiki Knox 10, Violet Morrow 9, Tyra Foster 7, Amanda Darden 6, Aujanique Doss 1, Paige Costello, Kiara McMillan, Kalayah DeGregory, Jalani Thompson, Desiree Ayler, Rache' Dixon.

"42": While far from a perfect film, "42" has a keen sense of the era, oozes a passion for the topic and largely gets the details right. It is an entertaining bit of filmmaking that admirably achieves its goal of capturing Jackie Robinson's heroic struggle against the racism of the national pastime.
* * * -- (Charlie McCollum, Staff.) PG-13 (thematic elements, raw language). 2 hours, 8 minutes.
"Admission": What happened to this slam-dunk casting of Tina Fey and Paul Rudd? Blame overinflated expectations and a misleading marketing campaign. "Admission" isn't the romantic comedy its trailer implies; it's an ambitious, enjoyable but messy dramedy. While it's refreshing to encounter something more substantive than the typical rom-com plot, "Admission" is too scattershot for its own good.
* � -- (Randy Myers, Staff.) PG-13 (language, sexuality). 1 hour, 57 minutes.
"The Croods": The animated adventure features a strong, star-studded cast and dazzles visually in wondrously colorful, vibrant 3-D, but the script doesn't pop off the screen quite so effectively. The overly facile message here is: Trying new things is good. It's a useful notion for kids in the crowd to chew on, but their older companions may be longing for something more substantive. Still, "The Croods" is brisk and beautiful and should be sufficiently entertaining for family audiences for whom few such options exist these days.
* � -- (Christy Lemire, Associated Press.) PG (some scary images). 1 hour, 32 minutes.
"Evil Dead": Sam Raimi's 1981 cult indie-horror classic "The Evil Dead" and its smarter, cooler follow-up, "Evil Dead II," from 1987, are the Rosetta Stone for the hack-and-splatter crowd. Except for those just looking at the bottom line, there was no need for a remake. Yet that's exactly what we get in "Evil Dead," a bigger-budget "re-imagining." The result is far from an embarrassment. Yet, without the low-rent cheesiness and the hint of horseplay that made the originals so enjoyable, "Evil Dead" becomes a numbing exercise in overkill.
* � -- (Cary Darling, Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram.) R (violence, sexual content, language). 1 hour, 31 minutes.
"Iron Man 3": The latest in the "Iron Man" franchise won't insult your intelligence, although it doesn't exude the smarts of the best comic book-based flicks. It has some neat action set pieces, a very sharp and self-aware performance by star Robert Downey Jr. (almost a given now with Downey) and a lively turn by Ben Kingsley as the villainous Mandarin. The film has notable flaws, but they never rise to the level of becoming fatal. In other words, it's decent popcorn entertainment -- just fine for the summertime, but nothing more than that.
* � -- (Charlie McCollum, Staff.) PG-13 (comic book violence). 2 hours, 15 minutes.
"Oblivion": Conceived by "Tron" director Joseph Kosinski from his graphic novel, "Oblivion" suffers from what could be called the hottie complex. It looks sleek and sexy on the outside, but there's precious little substance on the inside. The special effects are first-rate, but its dystopian plot is not.
* * -- (Randy Myers, Staff.) PG-13 (action violence, language, sensuality). 2 hours, 5 minutes.
"Olympus Has Fallen": A squabbling two-party system seems like a petty annoyance compared with the problems fictional President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) confronts in "Olympus Has Fallen," a well-crafted thriller that hits you like a triple shot of espresso.
* * * -- (Randy Myers, Staff.) R (violence, language). 1 hour, 40 minutes.
"The Sapphires": There are all kinds of reasons why "The Sapphires" shouldn't work. But this tale of an all-girl vocal group that comes out of the Australian Outback and makes a name for itself entertaining American troops in Vietnam is so thoroughly appealing and charming, its flaws just fade away.
* * * -- (Charlie McCollum, Staff.) PG (some sexuality and language). 1 hour, 39 minutes.
"Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor": The actor, director and playwright Tyler Perry has long embraced religion in his films, but perhaps never more so than in this slack fable. Adapted from his 2008 play, "The Marriage Counselor," the movie inveighs against deviation from the church, monogamy and the righteous path of cooking meals for a husband.
* � -- (Andy Webster, New York Times.) PG-13 (violence, language). 1 hour, 53 minutes.

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- I have been looking to save some money while building a home and thought that Direct Buy would be great to do so. After their aggressive and high pressure pitch I decided that with all their promises I could not go wrong. That is where I made my mistake. Their "savings" were more like empty promises. Just by shopping around, mostly through the Internet, I was able to find everything they were offering for about the same price and in some cases LOWER than the top secret Direct Buy price.
When this was brought to the company's attention they tried to get those with better prices in trouble (they used some of the same local vendors). Anytime you have to make a decision right then or asked to leave and never return it should send up a big red flag. The membership cost with the 1k instant rebate was just under 6k... ouch!
ANAHEIM HILLS, CALIFORNIA -- I went to see a Direct Buy open house. It was presented that way. I got a call everyday from the company to go to the open house. I finally went after 2 weeks of daily calling from them. I was there for two hours. Big sales presentation to buy their membership. Then they have you talk to a sales person- in my case it was **. They explain their membership. I kept telling **, I could not afford it. He just did not want to take no for an answer. Then finally I had to be firm and after being asked again, if I wanted to purchase the membership, I had to say no. In their invitation to their warehouse it is explained that you have access to it for one month.
When I stated I wanted to look around ** said all he had was a floor model. I said I just wanted to look. He did not let me and told me to have a nice day. Basically kicking me out of their warehouse. I was really upset, because, first of all I was led to believe this was an "open house", we are given an opportunity to look around. I was never so wrong. After their presentation of about 2 hours. If you say no, your are just kicked out. I will never go to Direct Buy and tell everyone I know not to go. ** should get some manners in customer service.
I would advise everyone not join. We joined with the reasoning that we would save a lot as we built our home but on average it would take us 4-5 voice messages to get customer service to return our calls, then 1-2 weeks for them to process the order and 6-12 weeks to receive the product. So as you can see, unless you have tons of time building your home this does not accommodate a construction schedule. Also you are responsible for shipping and handling fees, along with having to pick up your items during regular business hours there is not that much of a savings.
For example we found a computer armoire locally that we liked for $900.00, then we had Direct Buy price it out for us and there price came to $550.00, shipping for $175.00 and handling for $75.00. After a 12 week wait for the armoire to be shipped (by the way it sat in Direct Buy's warehouse for 2 weeks and the only way we found out that it was in was that we called them to check up on the order, by the way, it took 5 voice messages before they called us back) the manufacturer had changed the design and it was not what we had ordered. But because we verified the order from the catalog at Direct Buy we were responsible for the shipping to return the item to the manufacturer.
Direct Buy told us the shipping fee would be the same as what we were originally charged but the shipping bill came in at $735.00 and Direct Buy says we are responsible for that. So much for a good deal! Don't get caught in the Direct Buy trap. Their only interest is the $4500 membership fee, nothing else.
WESTBURY, NEW YORK -- I have been trying to get our money back since 2005 from Direct Buy, I gave until I saw CBS news last night and found out I am not the only family that was taken by this company. They do not tell you that it takes 6 weeks to receive what you want! They told us that they 100's of companies threw out LI that they deal with! Not true we picked out a fence and went to order it but were told to look in the book and pick out the parts we needed! Please help me and anyone else in this matter $4339.13 is what we got ripped off.
They took our money by credit card with no extra charge but if you want to buy anything it has to be cash or personnel check, because they charge you another 2.5% on purchase. There is no great saving with all the charges they add on. I have complained to BBB and Consumer Affairs, with no help! I also called corporate and they told me that it is a franchise, I told them that they are responsible because it's their company. Then told that she would call the owner and have him call me. Still nothing!!!!
EDISON, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased a Platinum warranty in February 2012. I thought. WOW! This is a great deal. I just had an issue with a transmission fluid leak so I took my car to BMW. They told me the transmission gasket seal and pan had to be replaced. He said it definitely should be covered and he never has had an extended warranty company not cover this. Well, to my dismay Direct Buy Warrant wouldn't cover it because of a service bulletin. I asked my service representative what a service bulletin is and he said all it is a bulletin put out that explains how to fix something if there's a problem, not that there's a recall because the part is defective. Totally different issue.
My car is a 2003 BMW 7 series and my representative said there is a service bulletin on various parts of the car including parts in the transmission and engine. So I know if anything major went wrong with either those two the would not cover it because of the service bulletin. They are frauds and I would never ever recommend anyone do business with them.
My representative told me to check into Fidelity because he's never had an issue with them. I did and even though they are more expensive I went ahead and purchased their warranty. Hopefully I will have a better experience. If not, I will post again. thanks for reading my rant. DBW are frauds and they are mean and short on the phone.
WICHITA, KANSAS, KANSAS -- I was duped into their high pressure sales meeting and found out they are just a big joke. They only offer 10% guarantee and so to compensate for the ridiculous membership fee of 3500.00 you have to buy 35,000.00 to break even. They are a very secret company and I know why now. They don't want the truth to be known. I tried to use the BBB to get my contract dropped and they sided with the company. I think they are getting paid off. If I could afford a lawyer I would sue, but like most people trying to save a buck, I now have less no thanks to Direct Buy. Save yourself and don't even go to the presentation!!
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA -- We joined Direct Buy after a salesperson had convinced us we would save so much money. For our $4000 membership fee it took us 3 years to finally come out even. We did purchase dining room furniture but had to pay delivery and for set up. We did purchase breakfast set and never did get the correct size screws to put it together and after complaining, they took 3 months to send the screws so we finally went out and purchased them and they wouldn't reimburse us that money. They are supposed to inspect the products before you pick them up.
We also bought light fixtures and they didn't tell us the globes were included and it didn't state that so we ended up with 8 globes instead of 4 and they wouldn't take them back. Shouldn't the salesperson have known that. We did purchase backsplash at a bargain rate but the installer wanted 3 times the price of the installer we found on our own. So finally we bought a big TV and our total savings on all these purchases finally made up for the $4000 membership fee so we broke even and would not recommend this to anyone.
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- Please whatever you don't get roped into this store..... The savings they claim do not work out from all the shipping and freight charges, just go to your local store. Which is what we wound up doing most of the years we were members. The current complaint I have, cause there are many, is we bought our very high end expensive fridge (almost $3,000) here and when it stopped working in under a year the company, Samsung does not consider Direct Buy a store. IN turn this meant we could not exchange out the item and had to wait months for a refund check. Over and over I heard from Samsung that if we just went to a local retailer, we would not have this issue.
I went in person back to Direct Buy to see if I could get any help with all the money I was losing, on the freight and shipping and tax..... Direct Buy stated they could not help at all but order a new fridge with all those charges again. There is so much more about this company as well but just wanted to get this little bit out there. Please just don't be another victim.....
NORWALK, CONNECTICUT -- It's a shame that you had such a bad experience and am sorry for you that you consultant had such poor manners. Upon our appointment visit our tour was great and we were able to look at the savings we would get, I did have a particular item I needed to check on and the savings was half of the price to buy on the outside. My boyfriend and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences dealing with this company. I will state that when it comes to buying plumbing fixtures there is no one to help you but with a little research you should have no problem. All of the products we have ordered came in when if not sooner than the estimated. The items arrived in good condition.
They were extremely friendly and helpful with the order processing and finding the catalog you needed. I can't say enough about the company and that may be, if you have the need for large items you should give the company a try again.
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA -- My Wife got sucked in to accepting an offer for a 'Free' 30 day membership and that started a continuous barrage of High Pressure phone calls that are still going on. I told her it was a scam but who listens to a Husband when the wife is determined to refurnish the house for almost nothing. I am 78 and retired from a lifetime of executive sales and marketing positions for two of the largest automobile manufacturers so I know about " Scams". Anyway as many people report they insisted that we both had to come into the store for the "Open House."
She told them that I am 80 yrs old and somewhat senile and she had the income and made all the buying decisions. They were totally inflexible and asked if she had a Power of Attorney, that's the only way she could come without me. Then she got mad at me for never wanting to do anything with her etc. I then went to the Internet and showed her the complaints and that ended it! She is currently telling our neighbor all about the scam and how she should have listened to me. Caveat Emptor!!

Unexpected At-Bats
Posted by Raphy on February 25, 2008
Very often there are players who make an appearance in a game for a particular moment. Their manager decides that their skills are needed for a brief moment in the game, but no longer. They are asked to pinch hit and take a seat or to pinch run and then come out of the game. The pinch hitters' evenings are supposed to last for one plate appearance, the pinch runners' not even as long. This is the norm. Occasionally however, the bizarre happens. A deluge of offense allows the team to bat around and the pinch hitter gets to have an encore performance; the pinch runner a chance to actually pick up a bat. Let's take a closer look.
Using PI to find all the players who appeared in a game only as pinch runner and had at least one plate appearance or those who appeared as pinch hitters and had at least 2 PA's presents two problems.
1) The information for games in which there is no play by play data available doesn't seemed to be marked accurately regarding this stat. 2) Any player who pinch hits or runs for a DH is not assigned the DH position even in subsequent at bats.
The first point is minor and we'll work around it. The second is major and will prevent us from examining any AL games since 1973 .
1) Here are the instances from 1957-1972 in which a pinch runner has had a PA. As you can guess from their low scores, the McCarver and Murrell games are probably errors, and in fact following the game links shows you that Retrosheet does not have the play-by-play data for those games. I believe that the others are legitimate.
2) Since 1973 in NL only games, we have the following list. Eric Davis successfully did it once and then almost exactly 8 years later, did it even better. How about that Nino Espinosa game!
3) Pinch hitters who have multiple PAs are obviously more common. This is the complete list 1957-1972 and this is the NL only list 1973-2007.
I think the winner in this category has to be John Cangelosi. Cangelosi wasn't particularly successful in these games, but he played in an amazing amount of them. Even discounting his 3 seasons in the AL and all his interleague games, Cangelosi managed to do this an amazing 6 times in his career, including thrice in 1987!
EDIT: As is discussed in the comments, there is a way to find all the "unexpected plate appearances" in any season by using the "Team Batting Event Finder", searching for all Plate Appearances and setting the position to "??". Here are the results for 2007. Of course, once you are doing that, you can further limit your search. For example you can find the grand slams of Willie McGee and Bill Robinson in their second go around after pinch hitting.

i was at a Toronto v Philadelphia game this past season (in philly) and saw this happen (http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI200705190.shtml) ... the people in front and behind me were both having arguments about what the ph was the second time up. i was more than disappointed that i couldn't jump in with an answer... as i tend to be that guy at games who jumps in to neighboring conversations with the random fact or stat that proves one person right...

yes good question. what is he the second time up. he does not get credited with another pinch hit does he. he probably gets credited with just an at bat. does he get credited with playing the field? how will it all be credited?
Johnny Twisto Says:

I can't tell which guy you're referring to in that boxscore, but a player is only a pinch hitter once in a game. After that, he's playing whatever position he's put at. Following AB do not count as pinch hitting AB.
Raphy Says:
February 26th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
The stats for PH who come up a second time are listed as "other" when their stats are broken down by defensive position. For example, if you look at the Defensive Positions sections in the Cangelosi splits for 1987, Cangelosi has PA as a right, center and left fielder as well as a pinch hitter. He also has 3 PA listed as "other". Presumably these are the three plate appearances that I mentioned in the post.

I've actually been working on this very exact thing in preparation for the 2008 season, and what a pain it is.
It appears that the convention is that PH or PR for the DH results in a dual counting. It is both a PA or a Game played as a PH (or PR) and as a DH. Notice these are double-counted for Curtis Thigpen on ESPN's stats. I asked Tom Ruane at RetroSheet about it and they intend to double-count these, but appear to have a bug.
A non-dh ph coming up the second time would have position 'As Other'. Kind of a twilight zone of positional appearances.
I'm cleaning this up and the DH issue as well in the next release (with the 1956 data).
Raphy Says:
February 26th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
This seems to be the key to finding these at bats for games with DHs. I will modify the original post to reflect this.

I didn't comb in detail through these, but the 2007 results showed something interesting. It's not like these games are terribly common, although I suppose as offense has increased the incidence of batting around has increased making it more possible to have an inning like this. In 2007 there were 2 days (May 25 and August 16)where there were 3 of these innings.
And about all you can say is....huh.

February 26th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Regarding Murrell and McCarver. These are errors in the retrosheet files, they are listed as PR and Dave Smith said they should be PR's.
Re: 7. I think the likely issue is that they are PR's for the DH and then stayed on as DH. They should have DH marked as a position played, but don't in the DB.
Raphy Says:
February 26th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Re: 8. I'm confused to your comments regarding 7. All the games on those dates are NL games. Why would there be a DH?
Also, I'm confused as to why the NL games that are included in the link from the addendum are not returned in the searches from the original post. Was the record keeping for 2007 different in some way?
admin Says:
February 27th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
2007 is different because I was compiling the season as it went from a different set of files. Essentially, I created my own retrosheet files and then built them. There was a bug that caused this issue. I've cleaned it up and should have all of these fixed before the season starts.

I was thinking this might be about situations where a PH is announced and then pulled for another PH. Has it ever happened more than once in a single PA?
Also there is the bizarre instance of a PH appearing at the plate (with 2 outs) and maybe hitting a few long very foul balls that come close to being HRs and even popping up a foul ball and having it dropped for an error (to give the "PA" a legitimate 'event'), and then the runner at 1B is caught stealing to end the inning/game, making the appearance a statistical non-event.
John C Says:
February 28th, 2008 at 10:23 am
on comment 11. right that is wierd. an error obviously would have to go in the books but no official at bat is recorded. i would guess. but question now. Say that happened. A batter hit a foul ball that was dropped for an error then the baserunner got caught stealind during the at bat. Will that batter still be available for the rest of the game. I would think he is still available in the game. Ya I am pretty sure he is. But if someone can clarify.

I made some homemade salad dressings today, so I thought I would share with you. Through a medical journey my husband is on, one of the many demands being made of him is to lose weight and eat better. I'm a BIG proponent of not only salads and snacking on veggies, but also making it tasty and painless in the process. For my husband, that requires RANCH dressing. Obviously ranch dressing is not healthy, especially considering it's only a condiment of sorts. So in the meantime, I have been searching for an alternative. I, ladies and gentlemen, have found our salvation in Greek yogurt. So below I share with you my humble recipe.
1 cup Dannon Oikos plain nonfat greek yogurt
1 packet hidden valley ranch (dressing, not dip)
1/2 cup 1% milk
Whisk together in bowl and chill for 1 hour before serving. As you can see below this filled my canning jar. There is a lot of talk about HOW much milk to use, to get the right consistency and I found this dead on for 'regular' ranch or any other creamy dressing.
The best part....this ENTIRE jar of dressing, is only 255 calories, 1.75 grams of fat, 42 carbs and 34 protein. That calculates to 8pts on the new points plus system. For an entire jar of dressing. I would hazard a guess that this would yield about 20-24 servings.
The best part for ME, is my husband LOVES it! Go me!
Some of you are accidentally buying the DIP mix instead of the DRESSING mix with pretty horrid results, so I wanted to post the below for you. They are both in little packets, and looks fairly alike, especially if like me, you walk past and grab it as you go. But there is a difference and I'll post the photos below. It usually looks like there are a lot of those little cardboard holders, but really they are all different. I'll post the two below so you know what to look for.
I've seen it mentioned the concern for MSG in the HVR packets and I wanted to share a new blog post with you all. This is a new ranch recipe that I found on another website (go give her a holler!)
It can be made full fat as per the recipe or you can make it low fat/low cal with buttermilk and Greek yogurt in a similar fashion to this recipe. Because you make the ranch mix yourself, it cuts down on MSG and preservatives added to the ranch packet. Enjoy!

|This is what you want. The dressing
mix. Can also be used for ranch chicken
and in hamburgers.
|This is what you do NOT want.
This is JUST to make the dip
that you use for veggies, like they
sell pre-made in the dairy section.
I hope that helps!!

VIDEO: Colo. Cops Chase DUI Teen's Stolen Cruiser
An 18-year-old is facing multiple charges, after she stole a Clear Creek County (Colo.) Sheriff's SUV and led deputies on a pursuit that reached speeds exceeding 100 mph, reports the Denver Post.
Shelby Figueroa has been charged with attempted vehicular assault on a peace officer, vehicular eluding, aggravated motor vehicle theft, resisting arrest, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, theft, and reckless driving.
A deputy pulled Figueroa over at about 10 a.m. Sunday. She resisted arrest and was placed in the read of the SUV, where she escaped her handcuffs, climbed into the front seat, and sped off. She led officers on a high-speed chase onto the I-70 that ended when she flipped the vehicle.
Tests show Figueroa was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine at the time of the incident, reports CBS News.
How come they haven't developed some thing to disable a cruiser to either keep it from being stolen or to shut it down after it is stolen like onstar,notwithstanding the idea that you should turn the ignition off,pull the key and put it in your pocket?DUH?
Marco @ 9/28/2012 10:08 AM
Deadman,If you turn off the car and take the key with you, your battery would be dead by the time you returned to the cruiser, with all of the emergency lights going during the stop. My question is how did she get in the front seat. Do they not have screens between the front and rear seats? She had already resisted arrest. She should have been secured in a cruiser with a cage.
tedb @ 9/28/2012 10:10 AM
Deadman; I am presuming that you have never been a cop, or you would know that it becomes necessary to keep the engine running in order to power the light bar (to warn approaching motorists of the hazard) and the radio operating. Without the engine running, the lightbar would eat up the alternator because of the heavy amp draw. However, most departments have installed cages to keep maggots in the rear seat where they belong.
TripWire @ 9/28/2012 10:15 AM
This happened here in Grand Rapids a few years ago. 18 y/o female stole a state troopers cruiser during a traffic stop and led a high speed chase. Crazy....
Must have been an old partition. ALL th ProGard partitions we sell have screens or latches to prevent ANY contact or escape from the backseat.

Alleged rear shell for 5.5" iPhone 6 leaked
While we've seen plenty of alleged leaked parts for the 4.7" iPhone 6, there's been relatively few leaks for the 5.5" iPhone 6. A new leak posted at evasi0njailbreak.com claims to show the rear shell of the 5.5" iPhone 6 compared to the 4.7" model. The images are said to have come from "deep within Apple's supply chain in China," and they could be prototype parts. Unsurprisingly, the 5.5" iPhone 6 shell just appears to be a larger version of the 4.7" model, with no major noticeable differences other than size.

Austin (HELP?!) Mosley!
"A person's a person, no matter how small."

Comments (5)
I like Dallas, that's kind of special. I also like Ryan.
Emmy is so popular these days it seems. We were going to name our third Emily but just couldn't do it, so we went with Victoria instead (call her Tori). So Obviously I like your mn choice!
My three girls are pretty cool!
Nothing that begins or ends with N. Since fn and ln are both 2 syllables I would use something with a different number of syllables - either 1 or 3 +. Since Austin is a place, I would avoid all word names for the mn.
Is there a name that you like but are not brave enough to use as a fn?
If not, I'm partial to something traditional in the mn slot.
No, really - it isn't "uniQuE" if it's in the Top 1000!
Not as big in emerald, but there's nothing wrong with it. I'm crazy about Victoria, its one of my top names. I'd switch it to Victoria Emerald Mosely :)

This is so funny, my DH's name is Austin. When his mom was pregnant with him, she wanted to name him Dallas! But when he was born his father said no he doesn't look like a Dallas and on a whim they named him Austin. He's such a perfect Austin too :)
I personally LOVE the name Austin. His name is Austin Jarrid, if that helps :)

Just down the hall from the governor's news conference, there was a major rally Wednesday against casino gambling.
A large crowd gathered in the Capitol Rotunda to hear a mostly moral based argument against expanded gaming.
Lexington preacher Jeff Fugate was among those speaking to the crowd.
When asked about the event, Governor Beshear, who supports casino legislation, laughed and said "free speech is a wonderful thing."

About Me
to continually create and share
I love to create and generally prefer using my hands for performing tasks (laundry, making books, cooking). I have a strong appreciation of the forms and shapes most things take--an interest in the visual. Art and art history are very dear to me, and hope that the roots of my travels concern the experience of art through museums, galleries and the people I meet. The outdoors are equally important and I like adapting to the physical world surrounding me and becoming spatially familiar with the places I visit. I love the woods, hiking and activities involving nature. Sometimes I'll get caught up in my thoughts but am typically sociable and friendly.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I host and surf
My experiences so far have all been quite positive.
Reading, creating, yoga, hiking, walking and cycling. I invest much time towards art--creating, learning art history, experiencing art and visiting museums as much as I possibly can. My favorite mediums include painting, drawing, bookmaking and ceramics. Cooking is among my favorite activities as well, though I am not that well-versed. Tea ceremonies interest me and I aim to uphold a ritual of having tea with those who visit my apartment.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Levitating through caverns in a blue hole and gliding through a labyrinth of stairwelled reefs.
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy making things so I can share the skills to cultivate an interest in creating such as through bookmaking (an assortment of different binding techniques), sewing, painting, drawing, ceramics, cooking creme brulee, basic photoshopping, tea brewing.
I can share my views and understandings of the visual arts--perhaps we can visit a gallery or museum?
I can share some skills of skiing, scuba diving (need a buddy?), yoga.
