Swansea v Middlesbrough Odds: Swans favourites to win quarter final tie
Swansea welcome Middlesbrough to the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday evening as the two sides meet for their Capital One Cup quarter-final tie. The Swans are making their first ever appearance in the last-eight of this competition and they are odds on favourites to move a step closer to a Wembley final appearance.
The Welsh side are currently priced 8/13 on in the latest match odds with Bet 365, who are streaming the match live (kick-off 7.45pm) on Wednesday night. Middlesbrough travel across to Wales as 17/4 underdogs and Tony Mowbray has a difficult balancing act as his side look to maintain their interest in this competition while also pushing for promotion from the Championship.
Swansea know all about earning promotion from the Championship and they have looked at home in the Premier League ever since. They impressed under Brendan Rodgers in their debut appearance in the top-flight last term and they have continued that good work under Michael Laudrup this season, although they did lose 4-3 in a thriller at home to Norwich on Saturday.
It was their first defeat in eight matches and Michu was in fine scoring form again as he took his tally to five goals in his last three matches. The Spaniard is quickly proving to be one of the signings of the summer and he is a best price 4/1 to be first goalscorer on Wednesday. Goals could be on the menu in this week's match as both teams have scored in five of Swansea's last six at the Liberty Stadium and both teams to score is a 4/5 punt.
Meanwhile, Swansea to win and over 2.5 goals combined is available at 7/5 and could be worth a look as the Swans head into the game on the back of their high-scoring defeat to Norwich, while Boro have scored eight goals in their last three. Scott McDonald has been in fine form for the North East side, with three goals in his last three to take his tally to eight for the season, and he is a best price 9/1 to score first with B365.
McDonald scored the winner when Middlesbrough beat their local rivals Sunderland 1-0 in the last round of this competition and he has been a key figure in their fine start to the season. Boro are currently third in the Championship but they have lost three of their last five outings and are threatening to stutter ahead of a busy Christmas period.
Late goals have been a real feature of their league games this season as there have been 18 goals in the final 15 minutes and the last goal to be scored after 73:59 minutes on Wednesday can be backed at 5/6. That looks a decent bet when you consider Swansea's last eight games have witnessed four 90th minute goals and it is the Swans who look worthy favourites for this quarter-final clash.

So this is what Karl Rove has been working on since the election.
He's working on the new Republican message: We used to make all kinds of stars, but the production rate has decreased twenty-fold because unions.
"We used to make all kinds of stars, but now we're running out. So we simply can't afford to make Puerto Rico a state."
"Really? The best I've got are a bunch of self-important monkeys that figured out how to compress atoms? Meh." – Universe during its half-life crisis.
You don't have to think of maturing to full size as bad news. Look, most of the stars have already shown up! So get ready, now we can spend the next few billion years decorating them.
</white beret>
Oh, no, peak stars! We will run out of stars in just few billion, trillion, quadrillion years or so. DON'T PANIC and remember where your towel is.
It's time to start investing in that renewable universe stuff.
There was a nice discussion about this paper, including one of the authors, over at Scienceblogs: http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2012/11/07/every-galaxy-will-have-new-stars-for-trillions-of-years/
Oops, didn't notice my post further down was a dupe.
I confess, whatever my day to day opinions of the daily newsfeed of humanity, whenever I look up at night sky, I don't ever want _that_ to stop.
Good! I was tired of those stars leeching off our healthcare system! I say let them die!
Will the universe now wear an onion on its belt (which was the style 7 1/2 billion years ago) and tell long rambling stories about the time it went to Galactoville (which is what they called the Andromeda galaxy in those days) because it needed some new mesons for its nebulas clusters. In those days nebula clusters all looked like horseheads. . .
Set off nova bombs in Population II stars in globular clusters as they are nearing the galactic disk to create expanding shells of gas which will collide and create new stellar nurseries.
You do it, I'm bitter. ;)
Until such a time as the Singularity makes us all potentially immortal, I'm not gonna sweet this one.
And even then we've got a few billion years to figure some options out:
As long as physics turns out to be computable, the only case where immortality is impossible appears to be the one where its mass density and and cosmological constant are just exactly balanced.
Even living a millennium would essentially be immortality for humans. No need to outlive the universe.
What a disaster!
I see what you did there.
Heat-death may mean nothing but the universe operates on a new set of physics, being composed of superfluids and quantum compression waves and neat stuff… similar to the situation in the first few moments of the big bang, where physics wasn't what it is now.
Maybe that whole starry universe will exist only as the theoretical physics of a superfluidic entangled mass in the future, wherein its equivalent of a neuron firing takes longer than the entire existence of our 'classical physics'…
And maybe they'll muse about the great 'thermodynamic event' that will fuck up everything in the future… a collapse of a probability wave wherein a deliciously cooked turkey just appears… and annihilates everything they've ever known.
Aw, universe, you don't look a day over 11 billion.
This story and its' author (David Sobral of Wired) drew a "tsk-tsk" from astrophysicist/blogger Ethan Siegel a couple of weeks ago, over at his excellent site Starts With A Bang, have a looksee, http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2012/11/07/every-galaxy-will-have-new-stars-for-trillions-of-years/.
Siegel summed up his opinion with the following image:
So the Universe is going to buy a sports car and start dating younger chicks?
Nowadays one takes ketamine and listens to the XX in order to feel younger.
So the Universe is going to buy a sports car, drive it ten mph under the speed limit and start dating younger chicks?
If we're talking about stages of growth, well, most of the expansion of space happened before 10 to the -32 seconds after BANG! We've been at the top of that plateau for some time now.
I was going to post the link to Ethan Siegel's blog on this… but two people already beat me too it.
Also, it's worth reading the comments on the blog post, but skip all of the comments by "Wow" and "OKThen" and those that answer them; you can find junk like what they're saying all over the Internet when people who think they know something about science but are wrong try to talk about science. Instead, just read the comments by Ethan, and the commants by David Sobral that respond to Ethan.
Myself, I'm convinced by what Ethan is saying, and think that Sobral is ignoring his primary point.
One of the most important things that Sobral says is: "Just to clarify: the "prediction" for the future is obviously not *AT ALL* a "conclusion" of the paper we are discussing. It is a mere curiosity. Something nice to play with and make an interesting guess."
In other words, the thing that's getting all the press was a sideline of the paper. The real point of the paper– and something that Ethan agrees with and says is good work– has to do with measuring and putting an empirical model on the decline in the rate of star formation up to now.
Does that mean I can stop doing my homework?
I fully expect life to have completely organised all of the baryonic matter in the observable universe, long before the last star splutters out.
The key word being 'observable'. If all of the other galaxies have fled beyond our horizon before then, our galaxy may be the only one in the observable universe.
Of course you could just wait around for long enough for some truly improbable events, such as the spontaneous fluctuation out of the mean energy background of new super clusters of galaxies, to transpire.
Or hope that a physics of profligate singularities engenders a new black-hole chemistry.
Perhaps mind itself will transcend energy and matter, binding to higher dimensional brane interactions.
Anyway, here we are, barely-hairy apes scratching our asses and setting off nukes.
Whatever will the future hold, I wonder?
Whatever it is, I bet it's Really Weird.
I love that science can allegedly figure this stuff out about something as complex as the cosmos (not even knowing what most of that is comprised of except to call it "dark matter") but can't quite figure out what constitutes reality and human perception.
My guess would be distance. Compared to stars, quasars, and black holes, everything going on in the human mind is just fuzzy. It's a common precept that it's more difficult to look inward than to look outward, and unless we start dissecting still-living humans in order to find out what makes them tick…
Wow I went to a morbid place quickly.
Today my 13 year old son came home and told me that we know more about the universe than we do about our own unexplored ocean depths <>
Well, even if star production is nearly over, we can at least take comfort in the fact that the red dwarves will still be burning for another ten trillion years or so. That's a pretty long time to at least still have stars around. And most stars are red dwarves anyway, so at least we'll have a lot of stars, instead of just a handful.
We'll run out of heavier elements though. Or not run out so much as hit the bottom of the barrel.
Maggie, I love your posts and I love your dark sense of humor, but in this case I just can't bring myself to be pessimistic along with you. :)
The universe still has untold trillions of years' worth of energy left in it. Nothing's happening that would harm its ability to sustain Life And Awesome Things. We've just got all the stars we're every going to have… and I'm no astronomer, but I feel fairly comfortable that we have more than we, the collective sapient species of this universe, will ever need.
So to me, this news sounds a bit more like "Okay, the last of the placenta's out. Kid looks healthy, let's hope it has a good life." :)
C'mon Universe, #YOLO
Asmiov has the answer to your troubles:
The first 15 billion years were the worst. And the next 15 billion years. They were the worst too. After that I went into a bit of a decline.

Mobile communication links are severely influenced by propagation effects. Wave propagation in the VHF/UHF frequency range over natural and man-made terrain is strongly dependent on topography and morphography. Propagation modeling is based on a ray-optical approach. Wave interactions, like diffraction and scattering, over the propagation path are described by the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) and physical optics (PO). Propagation models for rural and urban areas are presented for 2-D and 3-D ray tracing. Near-range models apply to the corresponding areas in forest and urban sites. The field-strength delay spectrum describes ray contributions with deterministic amplitudes but statistical phases are used to derive time-and frequency-domain channel characteristics. Comparisons between measured and predicted data are presented

THE GET UP KIDS, THE ANNIVERSARY, KOUFAX And to think, just nine years ago these guys would have been considered slackers, now they're too "emo" to not care. When the Get Up Kids decided to get up and go on tour, they seem to have gotten the idea in their head to bring along their entire Heroes & Villains record label. Though the Kids haven't released anything since Something to Write Home About (except Matthew Pryor's New Amsterdams Never You Mind "solo" project), opening band Koufax just put out It Had to Do With Love, a contemplative, keyboard heavy mix of early-'80s Eddie Money/late-'90s Wheat-influenced power-pop balladry a little less anthemic than the rest of the Heroes & Villains family, but no less well-produced. Second-billed the Anniversary play soaring, twitchy post-hardcore like a more synth-driven Rainer Maria. This triple bill is sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth for pop-punk and a soft spot for New Wave. Call it post-pop, but don't pass it by. 40 Watt Club/Athens (Ware)
WILL HOGE, IAN MOORE -- Hoge and band (which includes former Georgia Satellite Dan Baird on guitar) play rock 'n' roll reminiscent, though not wholly dependent on, "the good old days." Simultaneously aggressive, soulful and slinky, it may sound like the band's record collection stops in 1975, but at least it stopped with, say, "Black and Blue" rather than "Brain Salad Surgery." A new take on classic rock's better half. While relinquishing the blues heroics may have rankled old fans, those less concerned with geographical musical correctness may find Texan wunderkind Ian Moore's new approach much more fulfilling. His latest album playfully combines classic pop/rock devices with atmospheric production, strong songwriting and soulful vocals to great effect. Make no mistake, the guy's still a hotshot guitarist, but his new predilections sound like Steve Ray Vaughn on a "Magical Mystery Tour." Smith's Olde Bar (Robertson)

The other 2 DVD's are great, especially Gatemoth Brown. The man is old, but he his playing is fluid, simplistic, and bone cutting. While I wished he played more guitar than fiddle (which he is a killer fiddler), he lets his sax man carry on through much of his set. The jam with Santana at the end is a highlight as Buddy Guy even comes out to try Santana's guitar.
Lastly is Buddy Guy. Buddy Guy is a legend, and the most well known of the 3 blues masters appearing this night. He's a household name. He starts out acoustically for 3 songs which are unbelievable. Unfortunately, since Buddy Guy is well known, watching and listening to Buddy Guy I feel like he is the Jimmy Buffet of the blues. I mean that when he's on full on band mode, it's a party and everyone is invited to come on up and jam. And that's exactly what happens at the end of the show (minus Gatemouth). Santana, Buddy, Bobby Parker, Nile Rodgers, and Barbara Morrison just have a fun, flat out 30 minute jam at the end. While it's not as hot as it had the potential to be, it's not a dud by any means, in fact, once Buddy Guy leaves the stage, Bobby Parker takes over, and just lights it up like he did earlier.
If anyone appreciates deep Southern American blues, get this. For fans of Santana this is a no brainer to pick up.
The Old Heads are all accomplished and succesful leaders in their own right but I believe this CD to not be representative of their legendary status. Gatemouth Brown starts out first and plays a percussive quickly picked style that is difficult for Santana to jam with. The songs are his personal blues testimony but to me they all sound very much alike. There is even a point at the end of his set where he has his guitar set up wrong and is playing in the wrong key for like half the song before the bass player straightens him out. Bobby Parker is next and to me is the highlght of the CD. His style is more complimentary to Santanas and he has an all out approach to soloing which is fun to watch. Their set is the most entertaining of the three to me. However, Parker has the extremely naive habit of adjusting his tuning while he's playing and thinking its OK (its not-nuffsaid) and that discredits his professionalism in my opinion.
Lastly is Buddy Guy and he is a respected player with whom I am most familiar. I have heard some of his performances in the past and was struck by how soulful and beautiful he played. That is not the case here. He plays so softly in a clean tone that it is difficult to even hear him at all. Then when he hits his effects pedal its so loud that its just plain wrong.Read more ›

There is one chapter covering the years 2005 to 2009, when Muir admits he has lost the plot and is increasingly alienated from the whole NET phenomenon. Some readers will be surprised to learn that Muir is redeemed from his descent into the Slough of Despond (as he calls it) by Dylan's album Christmas In the Heart, which he finds very moving. Muir's book is both a critical narrative of Dylan on stage, and also a self-help manual in which an addict strives to understand the nature of his addiction.
The sheer scale of Dylan's achievements has rendered most critics either speechless or reaching for one of two clichéd responses. Bob is a genius. Or Bob is utterly past it, and should put himself and us out of our misery. There is no mystery why Dylan keeps touring. He has answered this question many times, and one pleasure of Muir's book is that it's a very intelligent filleting of the interviews and press comments that have accompanied Dylan's 25 years on the road. "You hear sometimes about the glamour of the road, but you get over that real fast.Read more ›
This subject needed a critical appraisal-by someone who can write-and someone who understands what a balanced argument entails. A challenge was to step back and place it all in context and this book does exactly that.
Highly recommended.
'One More Night' contains 'Razor's Edge' and continues where the previous book left off. It is filled with integrity, knowledge, understanding and the enthusiasm of a long-time, well-informed fan of Bob Dylan.
When I read about the Never Ending Tour, I am looking for accounts that give me more than either a blow-by-blow set list run down or the dry spiel of an uninformed journalist commenting on Dylan's voice/arrangements of the songs/quality of the sound system etc.
I want to read something that makes me feel how a member of the audience would feel being there. To experience following a tour through another's eyes and heart. An expression of a personal reaction, but one that is immediately identifiable and connected.
This book is filled with rich background information. Through the careful use of anecdotes, quotations and interviews, the author archives the prevailing atmosphere and feeling of the times - especially when going back to the 1990s and seeing the transformations through the last 20 years - it is fascinating.
Andrew Muir is always honest in his writing, which I admire. It is refreshing to find someone who is so thoroughly informed and knowledgeable without being supercilious, thoughtful without pretentious depth, obviously passionate about the music and art without being fawning, open about the failures and disillusionment without being excessively cynical or unfairly and harsh... right on the money.
Besides which, for a book so filled with facts and details, it is a very entertaining read with enough anecdotes and humour along the way to make it an exhilarating ride.Read more ›

Red Sox manager John Farrell confirmed that 20-year-old phenom Xander Bogaerts will make his major league debut Tuesday night, when the Sox face the Giants at AT&T Park.
Farrell made the announcement on MLB Network Radio on Tuesday afternoon, saying he was giving shortstop Stephen Drew the day off after a long stretch of consecutive games.
"We're looking forward to the Bogaerts era getting underway," Farrell said.
When asked how much playing time he was going to give Bogaerts over the final month or so of the season, Farrell said he was going to use the rookie to give players days off and keep them fresh.
"We'll look to rotate him through shortstop and third base and we'll see where it takes us," he said.
That would seem to suggest Farrell doesn't see Bogaerts as an everyday player quite yet, though he added he wasn't going to pin himself on a specific number of days per week he'll play the rookie.
"Xander has over 500 plate appearances already in Triple-A," Farrell said. "So it's not like he comes to us and there's a mandate that says he's got to continue to get everyday at bats."
As he did the day before, Farrell was careful in saying there won't be a platoon situation at short, with Drew facing right-handed pitchers and Bogaerts in for lefties. Drew is hitting .193 in 114 at bats against left-handed pitchers this season. The right-handed hitting Bogaerts hit .298 with a .926 OPS against southpaws in Pawtucket.
"By no means are we looking to take at bats away from Stephen [Drew]," Farrell said. "But if we have a chance to match up against a left-handed starter a little bit more effectively, we might do that and have Bogaerts at short."
Third baseman Will Middlebrooks is hitting .444 with a 1.210 OPS since being recalled from Pawtucket earlier this month, so it'll be hard to take him out of the lineup if he produces consistently. If he drops into a funk like the one he started the season in, Bogaerts could see more time at third base.

If you are a first time offender than jail is highly unlikely. That being said, hiring an attorney to represent your interests is always a good idea so as to minimize the possible consequences of any disposition, including one which would leave you with no criminal record whatsoever. At the very least, you should consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer, There are many excellent ones her on AVVO and most offer free consultations.See question

Impossible to say. However, you should not be making admissions to driving under the influence on this site or to your insurance company if they ask for a recorded statement from you.

I got a DUI in Tennessee. I live in Connecticut. Will Tennessee report my DUI to Connecticut? How will I know if my license is suspended or not?
If you are convicted of DWI in Tennessee, Connecticut will find out about the conviction and suspend your license as though the conviction occurred in CT. If this is your 1st DWI conviction then your license will be suspended for 1 year. If it's your 2nd conviction then it will be suspended for 3 years. However, if Tennessee offers a diversionary program that, if successfully completed, results in a dismissal of the dwi charges then there will be no consequences to your CT driving privileges.See question
Is it possible to determine if the police collected any evidence from my car after being arrested for a DUI, before my court date?

If you called your ex, they can look at your ex's call history and see an incoming call from your cousin's phone #. Your cousin said you used the phone. Your ex said you called her. It's probably enough for a warrant.See question

For those new to Madeira there are very many hotels stretching out along the coast west of Funchal town centre.Mamy of them are ugly tower blocks built in the last 20 years and should be avoided.It is good to report that Porto Mare is an excellent hotel,which has been well designed.
There are 3 parts to the complex.The main hotel is Porto,flanked by the Residence,which seems to be timeshare, and Eden Mar,a hotel where all the rooms have kitchenettes,which seems to be designed primarily for self caterers who also want to have hotel facilities available.Because the complex is only 5 stories high and spread over a sizeable area including a large garden this allows for a wide range of pools,restaurants and bars.
My wife and I spent 12 nights from mid February in Porto Mare.Using Trip Advisor we booked the cheapest room,which was a Thomas Cook promo room at £97 a night B and B.When we arrived we were upgraded to a garden view room(the promo rooms apparently overlook the car park).The room was spacious,clean comfortable and on the ground floor with a patio area overlooking the gardens,which have an amazing collection of trees and shrubs from around the world.Breakfasts were excellent with a wide range of good quality food and we enjoyed sitting on the terrace overlooking the pool and gardens.
Like most of the hotels in Funchal you need to use a shuttle bus to get in and out of the centre and Porto Mare run 6 a day each way.The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful.I thoroughly recommend Porto Mare and hope to return next year.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Porto Mare hotel occupies the central wing of the Vila Porto Mare resort and benefits from the use of all its facilities. There are many different corners and atmospheres here ... something new to discover every day. The rooms combine views over the ocean with tropical gardens. Four restaurants, six bars, an ice-cream parlour, five pools, SPA, sports and children's facilities... ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Booking.com, HotelTravel.com, Expedia, Hotwire, Otel, Odigeo, Travelocity, Agoda and Priceline so you can book your Porto Mare Hotel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

The Right Price, or Is It?
By KURT CORBIN
One of the biggest challenges for a small-business owner is knowing what to charge for their products or for their services. A nationwide survey of small business executives conducted by INC. magazine showed that:
— 50 percent determined their prices by adding a set percentage to the cost of each product;
— 40 percent set their prices according to what the competition was charging;
— 10 percent used their "gut instinct."
So, which one is the right way or best way? Or is it a mixture of all three? Let's take a closer look at product pricing in a retail business.
The Cost: For most businesses, the cost of an item is essentially determined by how much it cost to acquire the item and get it delivered to your store – the cost of goods sold — plus some amount of the overhead costs to run the store.
A good example is the store owner who sets her prices by marking up all of her items by 33 percent — say 10 percent to cover wages, 6 percent for rent, 4 percent for advertising, 3 percent for expenses and 10 percent for profit.
If she has done her calculations correctly, all she needs to do is sell enough items at a 10 percent profit to cover her total costs, and everything over that is pure profit. Right?
Well, only if nothing else changes — like delivery increases because gas is more expensive, or changes in supplier charges, or maybe bank charges on the line of credit to take advantage of a quantity discount offered by a supplier. And not all items in a store have the same overhead costs. Take, for instance, refrigerated items, which cost more for utilities than shelf items. Bulk-packaged goods can have lower labor costs than smaller individual units — think a bag of potatoes rather than hand-stacking loose ones.
The Lesson: Not all items have the same cost, or determining the true cost is very difficult.
The Competition: As the survey shows, many business owners set their prices upon what the other guys are charging, thinking that if they fail to meet the price, they will lose the sale. Competing on price alone is dangerous territory unless it is the only difference between you and the other sellers, you are better at controlling your costs than the others, or you have the resources to outlast the competition in a low-margin contest.
Now competing on price is not a bad strategy, but there is much more to the decision, especially if you only compete on a few but not all of the items you offer.
The Customer: As obvious as it would seem, a sale only occurs when someone actually pays you money for an item. Some items won't be bought no matter how low the price. And, in other situations, people are willing to pay far more than your fixed cost markup price for an item.
The things that motivate buyers beyond the actual price include:
1. Perceived value: "I always buy brand-name products rather than generics."
2. Prior buying habits: "I do all of my shopping at XYZ store."
3. Convenience: "I'll pay more to get the item I want today, rather than wait until tomorrow and get it for less."
4. Loyalty: "The staff always remember me, and their prices are fair."
Setting your prices and, yes, changing your prices is both a science (knowing the facts in a changing and competitive environment) and an art (knowing when, how and by how much to adjust your prices to reflect buyer needs and behaviors).

Congratulations and best wishes. A Professional Sign Industry with talented craftsmen and professional people is the priority. Nothing Less.
I never did think I ever would .....and that is, join a sign association. Yep, I know I told you all I have no desire and don't ever look for it in your lifetime. Well, something changed. New comers who might not be up to speed I created a topic here "A New Sign Association" basically calling for a new sign association, one that will put more attention to OUR needs and that is the electric sign industry. As some of you have already seen, there are multiple USSC Sign Association Banners all around this site popping up as well as the weekly newsletters. The USSC....I have to admit, prior to my joining I didn't know much about them or their history, and I'm still learning. I knew they had a show on the east coast, but to be honest I never did go even though some members here had encouraged that I should. But, because it's on the east coast and right between Thanksgiving and Christmas it made it hard. Hard because December I have my wife's birthday,as well as three of my kids AND our Anniversary all within 30 days of Christmas. Needless to say, I'm POOR come January. So, one day I got a call from the President of USSC, he wanted to advertise on the SS and wanted to know how. Later on in that phone conversation he asked me if I would be interested in joining the board, and take on a new "experience" . I told him I would have to get back to him. I wasn't sure about the time involved as I already run basically 2 business's and the SS is my first love. I talked it over with Kgirl, asked what she thought. She was more concerned with more of my time being pulled away from family life. I get that, the SS already pulls me away. There were some key points that stuck in my head from my conversation as well as the word "experience". I like to have new experiences. The USSC is also the last man standing in any form of an independent sign association. ISA wanted to gobble them up too along with all the others but they declined the offer. Which is key to me. My big concern has always been one thing when it comes to this trade, and that is the integrity of the electric sign industry. It's completely ignored, forgotten, but most of all it's dangerously mis-characterized. So, I found it wasn't that much time intrusive, I'm not day to day operations as what concerned me the most, I just don't have that much time to do all three. Most of the time when someone asks me for help, I generally will. So, what the hell, I'll give it a shot. My purpose for joining is to bring the needs of the electric sign industry into the light and into focus, I'm only doing this for the industry, and for a short time, the someone else can have a go The makeup of USSC is mainly small sign shop business owners and employees, nothing large and intrusive, and I knew that coming in. Which to me is inviting. I wouldn't say it's focus is the electric sign trade but their are plenty of members that are, not so much on the makeup of the board. It's obvious my reputation precedes me a little with the makeup of the board, and be that as it may, you're not going to get one without the other when it comes to me. What I do like about the USSC is there are those that are open to something new, and a feeling of America first attitude, less globalism unlike ISA. So...I've been busy the last couple of weeks with work and this site with upgrades and haven't had too much time to spend with USSC, and this article came to my attention via the USSC https://sdgmag.com/features/switching-over-led I read it, and considering the source it's no surprise. This is one of the brochure magazines I've been talking about here for years.....years as you all know. Cheap brochure articles written by component manufacturers who lease the keyboard from the magazine editor, or are offered the keyboard in the form of obligation pieces for thanks in advertising money. We all know, it's just pure garbage of a desperate magazine looking for anyone to fill it with content without ever fact checking. This article alone enabled me to open up and answer the reason why I'm on the USSC, one of thee only sole purposes, minus a few I'll get into at a later time. We're left with few choices right now, there are those who want to start a new sign association and I'm pretty sure those plans are still in place and slowly moving forward that address the electric sign industry, or put some focus on something that's already established, tweak it, put some oil here and there a few modifications and BOOM! Right now I'm putting my efforts towards the USSC because I see potential and I see a little bit of fire in their belly, but it needs some more coal shoved in to get some heat going. So.....this is my purpose and what I'm pushing for at the moment. Pushing the interests of the electric sign industry first. What is that interest? Well, it's the kind of points YOU and I have always been discussing for years. Preserving this trade, protecting our heritage and traditions and putting out the real facts and figures about light sources and educating the industry, architects, designers, and most importantly the consumers. It's the content you've only been able to find on here The Sign Syndicate. Developing content that dispels the myths and mis-characterizations of this industry's light sources, LED's, Fluorescent and Neon Lamps. The strengths & weakness, the pro's and con's, and how they are affected by the environment, installation and application factors. Educating the user and consumer that all light sources have their place and cutting through the outsiders & manufacturer marketing claims and statements that have been damaging to one of this industry's longest traditions, Neon. Whether you use Neon or not, it is apart of this industry's heritage and it's been under assault for years with no sign association to EVER step in. Some basic physical models/tests need to be developed for all to evaluate, test and most importantly "measure". I'm not talking about the more in depth reports we put out here on products, but a basic platform needs to be developed. Because if it's not, then it's the same as condoning the claims that are not only damaging to our heritage but also damaging to historic sites and structures So, it leads me to this. those that participate here on a regular basis can help out this Association. No, I'm not talking about writing a check and joining up, that needs to be earned. What I am asking you to do is contact them and let them know you're concerned as well, and that you would like to see content like i just discussed put into place and acted on. You're concerned about our historic landmark signs that are slowly disappearing because of Light Source manufacturers that are going to the cities and giving them a misleading power point presentation to replace a light source with one (Theirs) that will never last as long, nor look the same and you want someone there to represent this industry to counter back with facts & figures, not interfere but be able to present the true facts and figures based on what this industry can truly do and can't do, and leave it up to local communities and municipals, BUT they have to have someoene that will be able to provide those tools backed up with resources and studies. After all, who should decision makers, consumer, architects and designers believe? Manufacturers who have a sale to be made who present them with this industries god awful trade rag articles written by vendors but are asked to believe them because after all, if it's in print it must be true. Or believe a electric sign association data and studies/models, who's make up is that of individuals and companies that build the actual products made up of all light sources, and the backing of lighting and electrical engineers? Well, here's your chance. I'd like you to take some time out for YOUR industry and call the USSC and express your concerns at 215.785.1922 or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com
Gemini supplies plastic and metal mounting pads for this. Lords Adhesives has multiple adhesives for attaching plastic to metal. and metal to metal. Chemical Concepts also has multiple adhesives. chemical-concepts.com
Hello all, been a long time since I have visited, lots of changes! I have a customer that has just built a new building with extruded metal on the fascia, not your standard corrugated metal but close enough. The proposed wall signs consist of (12) 36"; (16) 28"; and a custom 6' x 6', Gemini formed plastic letters / logo. the building owner does not want any penetrations in the metal material. My customer wants to use the round glue on disc? In need to know if gluing will produce a successful installation that will last. Any hands on experience would be greatly appreciated. I have installed thousands of stud mount letters, but have not used glue on exterior installs. Thanks for any guidance, I am late on getting a bid out on this, kinda dragging me feet because I do not like the thought.

Skip to comments.All Segways recalled
Posted on 09/26/2003 9:48:33 AM PDT by presidio9Edited on 04/13/2004 1:41:13 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
The maker of the Segway Human Transporter has agreed to recall the motorized scooters because riders have been injured falling off when its batteries are low. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall Friday, saying that three people had been injured. One suffered a head wound and needed stitches.
(Excerpt) Read more at usatoday.com ...
Depends on whether you are young an healthy. I suspect this is far more practical and mobile than motorized wheelchairs for folks who can stand but can't walk easily. I look for this to catch on as the boomers get older.
But you don't go repelling down a cliff without sufficient rope either. Or hiking without water. Pick an analogy.
Yes, the gyros need power to keep it upright. Not too much you can do about that, except to be in a position to not to be on it when the juice expires.
The assumption of no common sense is but another nail in the coffin of what used to be a pretty good society.
That's why I upped my umbrella policy. I figue the next time I trip over myself I can sue myself and get millions.
True, but I guess it is the designers' expections of intended use, not actual use.
Okay, South Park reference: "...so the controls on the side [of "IT"] do the same thing as the oral/anal
controls? Uh, yes. Then, can I get one without the oral/anal controls? Uhhh, well I suppose..."
I want them banned from dedicated bicycle and pedestrian paths. The two cycled engined nightmares especially.
I am a good bicycle handler, they have to work to pass me. I use the bike path system here to get away from fossil fueled and other powered vehicles.
If their numbers increase to a thrushhold, there will be a process started to ban them that would be difficult to defeat. I guarantee it.
However a medieval Albanian unit of measurement might be appropriate: KpK Knots per Knickers
The even more ancient measurement "BSPMT,"* was recorded, but not calibrated, due to heavy usae of the road for driving cattle.
* Brown Spots per Mile Traveled
Now be truthful, Arianna Huffington and Ed Begley Jr., isn't this what you would REALLY rather be driving?
Maybe. I recall a lawsuit against small airplane manufacturer. The winning idiot plaintiff sued because he was able to change
the interior of the plane in such a way that he was to able to try to fly it from the rear seat so he could mount a
video camera up front to tape himself flying it from the rear (not the pilots) seat.
Hello. Not what either 1.) the designers expected, 2.) the manufacturer expected, 3.) not what the FAA expected, and
4.) anybody with common sense would expect.
Unfortunately, juries are not expected or required to have common sense.
Yeah, you sound like the same thug that my grandchildren encounter while trying to ride their bikes with training wheels on the same trail as you, buddy. Or you may be the same thug that gets upset because my husband and I are walking along side by side along the trail.
Bicycle purists like yourself just make me angry. You seem to think you are the only one that payed taxes to build the trails and therefore you think you have the right to zip along enjoying the nice air and scenery, and be damned to the rest of us.
I actually slow down and keep my hands on the brakes when encountering children on bikes. Children on bike is a good thing. To make more bicyclists, start them out early on bikes.
I also respect the traffic laws, stopping at intersections and signalling my intention when I turn.
What surprises me about your comment is it is those seaving and speeding on the paths that are dangers to kids. If you think I don't like these things merely because they endanger and annoy me, guess again.
It is days away from the University of Oregon's Fall session, and the packs of beer and motorized scooter crowd will be terrorising the kids and waterfowl in Skinner Butte and Alten Baker parks once more.
I ride year round and give respect when it is shown me on the road or bike path. My attitude is heavily predicated by my experiences with inconsiderate and stupid people on fast gas and electric toys. And I see more and more of them and wonder what else others and myself will have to expect with these things getting the foot in the door to bringing motors on a path that should be for human muscle power only.
Good luck to you and your grandkids out there. And thanks for sharing, and good luck finding an appropriate scapegoat for bad bicycling behavior. They are out there, but it ain't me.
They have always been good to see out on the path. I also have a blind friend I go out on a tandem bicycle with. He used to ride all the time when sighted, and I am well aware how much he loves to bicycle. I also have given many first bicycles to kids of friends and family because I remember well how much it ment to me as a five year old to get my first 20 inch wheeled two wheeler.
Kids particularly on the two stroke engined motorized scateboards can be heard a long way off, and to be passed by them as they weave as chose as they can - a common thing in most sckateboad behavior on the sidewalk - leaving you in a cloud of blue stinky smoke angers me quite abit.
I am forty nine and learned a long time ago that if you want respect, show it. Users of these new machines have yet to generally impress me at all. One has recently been run over and killed in next door Springfield darting out into the street as part of the circles he was racing around in.
They are being closely watched by city officials too. I predict a move to ban them in the next year now that you can get these things so cheaply at the big department stores.
Long before this lawsuit I had noticed that McDonald's served their coffee much hotter than other fast food places. I had always assumed that it was prevent customers from draining the cup before they had finished their McMuffin and hash browns, cutting down on the number of free refills dispensed.
Wonder if the savings in second cups paid for the settlement?

Royal Bangs must be sitting on top of the world right now. They just supported The Black Keys on the Akron duo's biggest tour to date and released an album on the band's label earlier this year. Their CMJ performance wasn't dead on, but it didn't need to be. Their chops were great, their energy was great, and the audience from front to back was paying attention, and that's more than you can ask out of any CMJ experience, especially at midnight on the very last evening (we were all just about dead by then). Their name is out there, now they just have to get their sound out there—and frankly, they are doing a damn good job at that.
