I want to find out the distance between the centers of $2$ circles. Say, circle $1$ $(\theta,\phi)$ circle $2$ $(\theta,\phi)$
The radius of this circle is found using $d\tan(\theta)$ where $d$ is the range (different from radius)
$$cd=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2 + (z_1-z_2)^2}$$ is the formula I'm going to use to find out the distance between the $2$ points.
But can anyone help me in defining $x$, $y$ and $z$?
I know to convert it to Cartesian coordinates if say the points are $(r,\theta)$ where $r$ is the radius [$2$ dimensional]
$cd$ is a euclidean distance between the centre of circle#1 (formed due to angles $az(t,n),el(t,n)$ in space from transmitter $t$, at trial $n$ and distance $d$ away from origin) and circle#2 (formed due to angles $az(r,n),el(r,n)$ in space from receiver $r$, at trial $n$ and distance $d$ away from origin)

What research confirms this is an honest and transparent organization committed to the dogs? Other than all the publicity for the videos that pull on our heart strings I haven't found anything that assures me this is a group whose real mission is to rescue and find homes for dogs. They get millions of hits for many of the videos and ask for a $5 donation. You do the math. If only 5% of people responded they would make millions. The income they do declare is far under what would be expected with the enormous publicity generated by the multiple viral videos.Yet they can't hire someone to make sure people get receipts acknowledging the donation. And we don't really know what happens to these dogs.
So please, direct me to the sites that will assure me of their integrity. I've yet to find them.
They are the best organization. Selfless people saving animals round the clock!! They have helped so many animals find better lives.
I do my research carefully and and am very impressed with this group.

Based on a video I saw of the rescue of a dog named Jordan (whose leg had been cut off), I began donating $10 a month to HopeForPaws. I thought it was odd that I never received any acknowledgement, communication or updates. After two years of monthly donations, I finally googled and saw plenty of evidence that this organization is not to be trusted.

I came upon their youtube vids and initially thought they were God's gift to homeless and abandoned dogs.
I always gave them a 'like' and shared their vids.
BUT...something seemed off...the vids were very slickly done....way more so then any other group that was starting off and it never showed the dogs in their apt or home. It seemed it always went from a rescue of a dog filled with fleas/mange many times injured to the vet that was always open. My vet isn't always available to me.
Then I read how a dog was left in the desert in a crate...of course the dog died a horrible death. Eldad and his wife were directly responsible so I had read. Running out on boarding fees and his wife saying in court he couldnt speak English.
I don't know if everything if true but court records don't lie.
Seems there is enough proof to think way more than twice about believing what this organization says.
I'd certainly never give them a penny...I know way more deserving grassroots organizations that don't live in Beverly Hills and go without to help animals.
They say an associate is the one that caused trouble for them but I don't buy it.
This Hope for Paws seems way too fishy.

I contacted Eldad from Hope For Paws when I was trying to rescue a dog who had been abandoned and was difficult to get to because he was scared of people. Eldad was willing to drive 40 miles outside L.A. at 1:00am to rescue this dog. I couldn't get help at that time of night from anyone but Hope For Paws. From everything I've seen, they are truly dedicated.

I made a monthly recurring donation of $50 after seeing some of the very emotional Hope for Paws videos. I became suspicious when I never received any acknowledgment of my donation though they are a 501(c) charity. I started to do some research and was left with very troubling questions, particularly about what happens to the dogs they rescue and the money they generate. Two months ago I tried to stop my monthly donation. Paypal said I had to contact them directly. I called several times and emailed (as directed by their voicemail). No one ever called back or responded by email. I was about to close my paypal account when they (paypal) finally stopped the donation. I contacted Hope for Paws and wrote I wanted that last $50 refunded since, for two months, I had tried to cancel the donation. Finally got an email saying there was nothing they could do about it.
All this has left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth and the belief this group uses the dogs to profit personally while hiding their income from the IRS. Give to your local rescue organization. I really believe they are crooks.

In an industry filled with some less-than-ethical people and a lot of people who might be ethical but are just plain crazy, Eldad and team stand out for a few things: They don't get involved in the drama--they just keep their heads down and concentrate on doing the right thing to the extent that they can and they are realistic. They cannot, on their own, perform every single rescue out there....they have been great working with groups to help with rescues that others do--ie: we rescued a poor dog who needed surgery before he was able to be pulled from the shelter. Without question, they helped us to fund it and make sure that he got the care he needed.....we aren't a 501c3, but a group of neighbors trying to do the right thing. They recognized that and stepped up when other rescue organizations wouldn't or did and then took the money we raised and scammed us.

Be very, very wary people. A "nonprofit" with an office on swanky Century Park East in LA? I don't think so! That alone says how they are spending their millions upon millions in profits. Do NOT donate.

Rendition (2007)
The ethics of torture
Is torture ever right? No The answer is simple and absolute with no qualifications possible. The reason as this film showed is the effect torture has on a society. The values that have been hard fought for in Western society through centuries of revolution and struggle are for ALL men and women to be allowed to live in a free and open society. One where individuals are treated equally and with respect to their essential rights as humans. To protect this society institutions have been developed to deal with wrongdoing openly, fairly and honestly. These institutions have been adapted and honed through generations of hard work. One could argue that these are the true bedrock of democracy as they belong to us all, allow us all to be heard. If we allow undemocratic, inhumane acts to be committed in our name, if we split our society into those who have rights and those who don't then we undo the work of our ancestors. Moreover we are all complicit and all guilty and tainted. Whether those that we accuse are guilty or not is of no importance. We are defined by our attitudes and our responses.
A Way of Life (2004)
Good material, wooden delivery
This film certainly had a lot of potential. The film certainly pulls no punches when it comes to portraying the main characters. We are shown their violence, racism and bigotry in depth. Not that they are averse to exploiting their own, as several episodes show.
Whilst the main characters certainly have many unsavoury characteristics the film does allow time to explore what made them what they are. Many factors are highlighted, lack of stable partnerships, low self-esteem, lack of commitment, lack of parenting skills, drugs, unstable violent backgrounds, unemployment, discrimination and lack of opportunities.
My main criticism of the film is not that it isn't well researched. The problem is in the production. The direction is so leaden and obvious. The characters have no space to develop and the director rams their points into your face. You could almost imagine that this was produced as a course material for a school sociology program.
The camera-work and sound tract only reinforce this. The angles and shots are all so daytime TV, zooming into faces for close ups in those confrontation moments, giving the obligatory 2 second scenic scene setting shots at all the appropriate moments. Need I say that the soundtrack is hardly subtly or seamlessly enmeshed.
All in all whilst this film has good intentions, good material and some good acting the whole thing feels poorly put together and ends up loosing a lot of its impact between the cracks in the production.
Sexy Beast (2000)
An instant classic
A hugely impressive debut. This film crashes into the stagnant pond of recent British crime drama like the boulder at the beginning of the film crashing into retired gangster Gary Dove's pool, smashing the twin heart logo. A herald indeed for the whirlwind of evil that Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) brings into the film when he arrives to try to recruit Gary for another job back in London.
The film works so well because it dares to inject an intelligence into the genre so lacking in many recent offerings. The characters are caricartures for sure but beautifully sketched. Like a Hoggarth painting there is emotional depth here which draws you in. Though never explicitly stated you feel that Gary and Dee Dee are exploited characters, drawn into the underworld and now escaping from it. These are played off against Don and Teddy who are sociopaths of the first order. The tension generated between them is electrifying and sometimes almost unbearable.
Lucía y el sexo (2001)
Heavy handed symbolism and contortionist plot
What is sex and Lucia all about? This isn't as clear from the title as it would seem and after churning it over nothing gets any clearer. Sex does appear, quite frequently, and links many of the characters together but the film isn't all about sex. In fact sex is unembarrassing, pleasurable and regret free and although it appears often it seems simply to be presented as a fact of life.
Unfortunately everything else seems to be part of a dizzying metaphor in a cyclical plot. Unless deconstructing convoluted narratives is your thing this can be a problem. Lucia is a waitress who follows and seduces Lorenzo an author who writes books about passionate encounters and into cycle we go. Couplings, fantasies and melodramas unfold, events mirror each other, and the timeline twists and turns on itself and in the end (it all gets very metaphysical) I think Medem tries to tell us that imagination makes reality what we will. What's real and what is invention becomes irrevocably blurred (is this the point?). The symbolism becomes heavy handed, even the holiday island that the characters revolve around itself is almost not an island, criss-crossed by subterranean sea caves where one can enter at one point and emerge at another and fantastically rocks in stormy weather.
Despite the maturity and tenderness with which the love scenes are treated, the heavy handed symbolism and contortionist plot work to throw off any emotional intensity that the acting and powerful soundtrack can build. It ends up being too clever to exercise any real intelligence.
The Man Between (1953)
Welcome to Reeds world
Vintage Reed with all the elements from his films of the period. The innocent (Bloom) whose view needs to be muddied. The world weary, complex hero/villain. The confusion and ambiguities veering between love and hate, trust and betrayal, weakness and strength. Humans pulled from their comfortable lives and twisted by circumstance. The worn surroundings of war torn Berlin an extra character in the plot. All this in typical stark angled Reed view, with an atmospheric signature tune used noticeably towards the end, and a scene sequence mirroring the ambiguities of the characters.
Whilst the film doesn't flow as fluently and seamlessly as The Third Man, Mason and Bloom create eminently watchable if not entirely rounded characters.
Touching the Void (2003)
Real, raw, terrifying adventure
This sumptuously filmed documentary drama follows two climbers' adventure in the Peruvian Andes. This documentary wonderfully captures the essence of the adventure. The two climbers step outside of mainstream life, hustle and bustle, 24hr support, advice and help. In doing so their raw humanity is bared. When things go terribly wrong this film displays some of the raw ingredients of our soul; fear, love and a driving desire to survive.
La pianiste (2001)
Michael Haneke explores complex emotions with cold objectivity
Pianists in films are often subject to high emotions. Shine and the The Piano also feature characters in some way damaged by the rigors and strong emotions of mastering such an instrument.
Isabelle Huppert in the piano teacher is another damaged pianist to add to the list. She misses an absent father and is stifled by a neurotic, claustrophobic love/hate relationship with her mother with whom she lives. More than that she is saturated with the strong emotions of the music she so painstakingly perfects. With no emotional outlets she is driven to self harm, with no sexual outlets to voyeuristic acts that you feel she almost wants to be caught in.
However Haneke doesn't try to make us pity her. Rather this is a cold objective view, mirrored in the cool colours and highly constructed frames in which this film is shot. She is both a victim and cruel in her own turn. Cold to her students and given to sadistic acts such as the mind games she plays on the pupil she spots looking at a porn magazine in a newsagents.
Into this Benoit Magimel comes a wonder boy, infatuated with Huppert. Foppish good books and the mannerisms of a stage lover are jolted when Huppert sets out her S&M agenda. The relationship becomes violent and damaging in unintended ways leading to the shocking climax.
This is a terrifyingly believable (if extreme) view of a chain of damage that emotionally distressed individuals inflict on each other. The film is all the more painful as there are no good or bad characters, simply characters who the more they want to be loved the more they are hurt and do harm.
The perfect emotional pitch of the classical music they are producing only serves to highlight their emotional turmoils. Striving for perfection is their downfall.
The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
Slick entertainment
This slick heart-warmer floats above the ocean of cliched romantic comedies. The punchy pacey script and polished acting make it stand out on one hand. On the other hand dark undertones, lurk beneath the surface.
The protagonists in a variety of ways vie to deceive themselves about their position in life whilst trying to hold down a poorly paid job in the middle of a recession, simply to keep living.
The two lovers to be make fantastical, successful, alter egos for themselves in their letters as extravagantly as Rudy acts up after his promotion. Meanwhile, Matuschek happily deludes himself to the point of ruin about his wife, pouring money via her into the dandy Vadas' jewelry box. The shop itself sells vanities to the affected middle classes epitomised by the musical cigarette boxes. Pirovitch alone is happy with his simple family life acting as a counterpoint to the self-deluding fantasies of the rest of the cast.
This could be a set up for a tragedy, and indeed seems to be heading that way when Stewart looses his job and trades barbed comments with Sullivan. But we are offered the chance of redemption. Rudy saves Matuschek from the bullet, Vadas is uncovered (by perhaps an almost revelingly cruel Stewart) and we swing back into romance territory. The underpaid workers are happy selling their knick-knacks again, the tills ring for Christmas and romance fills the air, their salvation, or another happy deception?

4:30 p.m. | By Joe Gerth| MAYFIELD, Ky -- U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes met Saturday for the first time in a year, sparring on the stage at the annual Fancy Farm Picnic in western Kentucky.
With the crowd a bit better behaved than in past years, Grimes hammered on McConnell, listing a series of her policy positions and urging to respond that McConnell "doesn't care."
McConnell for his part took shots at Grimes and a series of gaffes she and her campaign have made.
But more than anything, he continued in his campaign's primary campaign strategy, which is to tie Grimes to Democratic president Barack Obama, who is not popular in the state.
"You see, Kentucky is under attack from Barack Obama's Administration and we need to fight back," McConnell said.
The crowd of ... was loud and boisterous as always but they didn't chant throughout the entire speeches, largely complying with the request of St. Jerome Catholic Church officials who organize the picnic.
"When you agree with what they say, cheer. If you disagree, boo." Supreme Court Justice Bill Cunningham urged the crowd. "And then shut up and let them go on with their speech."
2:45 p.m. | By Joe Gerth | Security is tight at Fancy Farm with a bigger police contingent than usual and they are cracking down -- on the Grimes' campaign team.
A few minutes before the program was to begin, a police officer on the state spied Grimes campaign manager Jonathan Hurst and two Grimes staffers -- all wearing Grimes paraphernalia -- encroaching on the large media area in front of the stage and ordered them out from the area.
Hurst looked incredulous but obeyed the order.
2:30 p.m. | By Joe Gerth | Huge numbers of folks in the crowd were wearing either McConnell or Grimes t-shirts.
Where'd they all get them?
The campaigns had tents set up on the St. Jerome Church grounds where they were giving them away. Hundreds and hundreds it seemed like.
BINGE ON POLITICS: Read more about Fancy Farm, Alison Grimes, Mitch McConnell and others
The shirts of both candidates underscored their key message for the campaign -- that Grimes is too much like President Barack Obama and McConnell has been around to long and needs to go.
The McConnell shirts said, "Obama needs Alison Grimes. Kentucky needs Mitch McConnell."
The Grimes underscored the same message that was on signs that lined KY 80 from the Purchase Parkway to Fancy Farm: "Welcome to the RetireMitch Party."
2:20 p.m. | By Joe Gerth | MAYFIELD, Ky. -- There was no limit to the number of gubernatorial and possible gubernatorial candidates at Fancy Farm.
Of course Attorney General Jack Conway was there and so was Republican Hal Heiner, both of who have announced that they are running.
So was Agriculture Commissioner Jamie Comer, who was expected to talk about his plans later in the day.
Former Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, who is thinking about running in Democratic Primary was also politicking and so was Supreme Court Justice Will T. Scott, who is rumored to be thinking about seeking the GOP nomination.
So, Justice Scott, are you going to run?
"I'm a Supreme Court justice," he said.
"I know, but are you running for governor," I asked.
He simply smiled and held his arms out, palms up, signifying "I don't know."
2:00 p.m. | By Joe Gerth | MAYFIELD, Ky. -- There may be no politician in Kentucky who loves the Fancy Farm Picnic than former Gov. Paul Patton, you each year travels from his home in the Eastern tip of the state to the event in the western tip of the state.
And no matter the weather, he shows up the same way -- dressed in a shirt and tie pulled snuggly up against his throat.
"I just always do it," he said, explaining why he dresses in what passes for formal affair at the picnic where most people are in shorts and t-shirts.
"People look at me and say look at that crazy old man wearing a tie," he said. "I guess I'm a little bit eccentric."
12:35 p.m. | By Mike Wynn | MAYFIELD, Ky. -- Republican leaders drew cheers by attacking "Obamacare" and the "war on coal" Saturday, as they sought to rev up party faithful before U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell headed to Fancy Farm to square off with Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.
Speaking to hundreds at the Graves County Republican Breakfast, McConnell accused Grimes of providing a "new face for the status quo" and the policies of President Barack Obama, which he said are straggling Kentucky coal fields and killing jobs.
"She's a new face for no change at all," he said. "If you believe our country needs changing … the way to do that is to elect a new majority in the Senate with a new majority leader from Kentucky to begin to repair this country."
McConnell charged that Obama's approach to coal is leading to an economic depression in Eastern Kentucky that is headed west, and he chastised the administration for "no interest" in border security.
On immigration, McConnell won applause when he said America's policies toward unaccompanied minors should focus on "compassionate detainment and immediate return" and when he urged Obama to "stand with our Israeli friends."
"This is about what kind of America you want to have," he said. "Look what they (Democrats) have done to America over the last six years. Can you think of anything they haven't fouled up?"
Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Rand Paul said that while Democratic candidates claim to support coal and conservative values, the party "hates coal and hates Kentucky." He predicted that, if elected to the Senate, Grimes' first vote would be in support of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"I don't know how any Kentuckian could consider a vote for Ms. Grimes," he said.
Both McConnell and Grimes are scheduled to take the stage at Fancy Farm this afternoon, and Democrats were also hosting a breakfast in Graves County on Saturday to support their candidates ahead of the event.
11:15 a.m. | By Mike Wynn | MAYFIELD, Ky. -- Trey Grayson, who sought the Republican nomination for Senate in 2010, has some advice for candidates speaking at Fancy Farm later today: "Get up, say your thing, and don't mess up."
Grayson was among the hundreds of voters and politicos prepping for the annual picnic Saturday by gathering at Graves County High School for the GOP Breakfast, where Republicans drew cheers by taking shots at "Obamacare" and the "war on coal."
Grayson cautioned beforehand that both U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and his Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes should avoid giving their political opponents any ammunition during their speeches at Fancy Farm this afternoon.
"You don't win elections here," he said. "Neither of them is probably going to win an election here. But just don't mess up. Don't make news. Don't cuss."
Grayson, now the president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, said the reality of Fancy Farm is the same for both candidates.
"I love Fancy Farm, but it's really more fun than substance," he said.
At Fancy Farm, Senator Mitch McConnell rails against challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes and President Obama. Aug. 2, 2014 Matt Stone, The Courier-Journal

As Americas millions of baby boomers born from 1945 through 1965 continue to age, nurses can expect to care for more patients with heart disease, arthritis, cancer the traditional diseases of older adulthood. But two recent reports indicate healthcare professionals also will be caring for patients in this age group with mental health and substance use issues and hepatitis C.
Mental health concerns
The Institute of Medicine estimates in its new report The Mental Health and Substance Use Workforce for Older Adults: In Whose Hands? that between 14% and 20% of the nations elderly population, up to 8 million older adults, have one or more mental health conditions or substance misuse or abuse problems.
Marlene Nadler-Moodie, APRN, MSN, PMHCNS-BC, president of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association in Arlington, Va., said the estimates did not surprise her. We will be flooded with more people needing mental health [services], and we dont have a big enough workforce, she said. Mental illness is not sexy and terribly stigmatized, and its on peoples back burner.
However, as the IOM report points out, mental health issues can lead to poorer overall health outcomes; for instance, depressed patients are less likely to take cardiac and other medications as directed. Most prevalent, according to the IOM report, are depressive disorders and dementia-related behavioral and psychiatric symptoms. Treatment is available, and it can be very beneficial, Nadler-Moodie said.
Older adults can benefit from talk therapy, not just pharmaceutical treatments, said Joan Calandra, RN, PhD, CNS, clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist and author of Nurse.coms Mental Health & Older Adults courses. She encourages nurses to listen and be empathetic with older patients, adding that even those with dementia will appreciate the attention.
Boomers and older adults suffer many losses and often deal with chronic health issues and physical limitations. Such events may worsen depression and result in severe symptoms, the IOM report said. As we get older, we lose our ability to do things we used to be able to do and mourn that, Calandra said. Differentiating between grief and depression is difficult. Older adults also may drink more to cope with losses or loneliness, Nadler-Moodie said.
The IOM authors also indicate an increase in the rates of accidental and intentional misuse of prescription medications and report that age alters drug and alcohol metabolism, which can worsen health problems and increase the risk of overdose. However, the general public doesnt think about older adults abusing prescription drugs or drinking alcohol, Calandra said.
Patients may hide their substance use or not think about it, and if admitted to the hospital, they may experience alcohol withdrawal. Nurses can screen patients for substance use and watch for depression and other mental health issues and intervene, Nadler-Moodie said. The aging population has a serious drinking problem, and baby boomers comfortable using illicit drugs years ago still may be doing that, she said.
Hepatitis C
That illicit injection drug use and other behaviors during their youth, such as obtaining a tattoo in an unlicensed facility or sexual contact, also may put baby boomers at risk for hepatitis C. Transmission also can occur with blood transfusions and other healthcare procedures in which proper injection techniques were not followed. Yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that baby boomers do not perceive themselves at risk and are not being tested.
What happened earlier in life, you dont think about, because you feel fine now, said Barbara OConnor, RN, MSN, CIC, infection control manager at Howard County General Hospital in Columbia, Md. She said hepatitis C is extremely common and the most frequent disease her hospital reports to the health department.
The CDC is changing its recommendation from testing at-risk people to screening all U.S. baby boomers with a one-time test for hepatitis C, because one in 30 baby boomers more than 2 million Americans has been infected with the virus, but most dont know it. [Testing] is a great idea, because hepatitis C is one of those diseases that can sneak up on you, OConnor said. You can have it for years doing damage. Many people are diagnosed incidentally.
The CDC estimates one-time testing of all boomers could identify more than 800,000 additional people with hepatitis C and save more than 120,000 lives. Treatment includes combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin and generally lasts six months or longer. Hepatitis C can cause serious liver diseases, including liver cancer, and more than 15,000 Americans die from hepatitis C-related conditions annually.
Identifying Hepatitis C-positive baby boomers would allow infected individuals to receive earlier care and newly available treatments that potentially could reduce their risk of developing life-threatening liver disease, said Elizabeth Monsees, RN, MSN, CIC, infection preventionist at Childrens Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City, Mo., and a member of Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiologys national Communications Committee.
Monsees said nurses also should be cognizant that individuals with Hepatitis C can be asymptomatic and can transmit the virus to others. Nurses should be aware of the risks and follow sharps safety and proper injection and infusion practices.
Testing for hepatitis C requires a blood sample to check for antibodies to the virus. If reactive, an additional test is needed to assess whether the virus currently is circulating and the patient is chronically infected. Some people can clear the virus without treatment, but the antibodies will remain present. OConnor said screening could take place during patients annual exams and a positive result would allow treatment to start before significant damage is done. She expects patients will have questions about screening and why its recommended and reminded nurses that as with any bloodborne pathogen, a stigma exists. Nurses are in a good position to provide that education about hepatitis C and how it can be insidious and damaging for years before you know its there, OConnor said.

I second the issues with the IE Browser support. I don't agree with the previous poster below that this is now fixed. {Or may be it is fixed for IE 8 and ot for IE7).
A lot of people accessing my site from 'managed cloud' or 'corporate desktop' are on Windows Server 2003 clients - which only supports Internet Explorer 7.
I wish it would gracefully downgrade the user experience for these people (rather than render the mobile theme).
The serious problem with the Mobile theme on a desktop IE 7 is the lack of up and down scroll functionality!!!

I am writing this letter in praise of people who are usually invisible to us — the people who serve us every day in the restaurants and food chains of Amarillo. They are hardworking, responsible and bright. They are handling more stress than most of us older adults, and many of them are still teenagers. Most are juggling school and work, trying to save for or pay for college — or help their families make ends meet.
I see them almost every day.
Over the years I have come to know some of them. I am amazed at how many hours a week they work and still maintain their grades. Those who are helping their parents pay bills are heroes in my book. They sacrifice personal time and social events to work. They come home tired, but still have to do homework, babysit siblings and do chores.
In one day, they cook more french fries and hamburgers than we could bear to see or smell in a year. And they put up with the ungrateful, angry and hurried public who seem to think they can unload their frustrations on them. I have seen this happen more times than you would believe, and the young people take it without lashing out — they apologize and try their best to make it right. I hurt for them, and I am embarrassed and ashamed of my generation for doing this to them.
To this group of young people, I would like to say thank you. I admire you. Keep up the good work. You are the hope of America, and some day you will be in charge of this country. Take good care of it. You will live in a world that I will never see and cannot imagine, but from what I have seen of your work ethic, you will do just fine.
Take the lessons you have learned from working so hard and apply them to solving the problems of the 21st century.

Well not exactly. Let me explain.
I just bought a widescreen HDTV that supports 480p and 1080i, problem is that when it detects those 2 resolutions it switches to 16:9 and i cannot switch to 4:3 (black bars at the sides), if the image is 480i (normal TV, composite, svideo and component at 480i) i can resize the image to 4:3 no problem, so i wonder if there is a way to disable progressive scan support for certain games that doesn´t support widescreen, so i don´t need to enter the dashboard every time i switch games that support widescreen and those who doesnt.
Thanks and sorry about my bad english.

Saudi Arabia daily fighting of oil smugglers
The Saudi Customs revealed that its members arrest on a daily basis smugglers of petroleum products outside the country. Smugglers have been taking advantage of the lower prices for domestic consumers, and selling abroad at higher prices.
Saud Al-Fahd, the Assistant of the Saudi Customs Director General conveyed that truck drivers deliberately install additional tanks for fuel in order to smuggle it and sell in neighboring markets. "No doubt that the expatriate workers are selling diesel at high prices abroad, and possibly higher than the value of freight, therefore, we do not allow the installation of additional tanks in trucks," he was quoted as saying.
Al-Fahd stressed that the Saudi market is characterized by the sale of petroleum products to the consumers at prices lower than their costs. These products include diesel, gasoline, kerosene and jet fuel. Therefore, the sale outside the Kingdom provides potential high profit margins. "Smuggling activities take place and we discover every day several cases," the Saudi official said. Source: yallafinance.com.

what do you need help with?
I had a Dynaview on a rthd that would go to stop without someone pushing it. Replaced Dynaview and it did not happen again.
BS I have repaired a leak on a 10 ton circuit pulled down to 490 microns turned off pump and in 5 mins it was at 6000 microns found sight glass leaking.
I only use it for checking oil level on RTAA and RTAC. Unit is off so pressure is not that High for R22 and 134A .
Had mine for almost 3 year with out issue.
Because it makes it so much easier to check oil level on RTAA/RTAC.
Amazon hose here in Tampa.
Trane parts has them.
That is for Tampa, FL and most guys get B scale. Even the A scale package total is only like 41.
That is more than union (B scale) here for commercial. A scale is only 30.44 a hour.
I would like to know where everyone hear this only use blue for everything? I use both. I am sure the manufacture of nylog would not waste money making both if you only need one.
I use different gauges with different oils.
We are real busy here also. My work is starting to back up. Just closed up a CVHE after complete teardown and put on nitrogen. Tomorrow leak check, paint, and put on vacuum. Another one to teardown...
Let the union invest your pension we all know they have a great track record with that.
Edit some know the ones that still pay for it.
It is funny how so many people are so pro union. I care less union or not but if you Can not make the same non union you are more then likely not worth it in the first place.
What temp is the house at like 90F
It is not where you but it is what you buy.
I have found wires on light commercial units bad with a megger that a digital meter did not pick up. Also I found bad compressors on light commercial units that a digital meter did not pick up. I...
Yea a hack would do that.
Let me ask you a question. If you have a 20HP blower motor on a drive and it alarms on ground fault. You check with your digital meter and it finds no issues. What do you do next?
Not true where I work I can tell you what any tech makes and most make at or over union. All tho union pay is not that great here I would say 85% or 90% of the union techs make B scale at under 23 a...
I am in Tampa FL and have never had a week under 40 in 8 years. Also only work commercial/Industrial. Have never seen a geothermal setup down here.
You should not make half of what you make now.
They are puck locks.
If you only have two quarter inch service valves it is pointless to use two pumps.
Rob you might want to watch it. Feng is not going to tell you how much it takes to charge your next centravac. Or do you just charge it by superheat feng?
Don't question Feng he has six years in
Just get fengs number.
You all scared him away now how will I ever know how to change my filter.
And now it's time for HVAC talk with FengsHVAC.
not much difference in the models.as far as installation goes tee off of the cold water right before the hot water heater and pipe into the unit. Than out of the unit into the hot water heater's...
130 temp for discharge line of compressor not hot water heater. Also he might have gas water heater but not that common in Central Florida. Mine only cost 300 total put in myself.
Water temp is about 70 out of ground and discharge line around 130. That is a big difference.
It is worth it. I live in Tampa so the temp here is very close to yours. Also you should let it run all year it is cheaper to heat water and it should not affect heating your home that much. Just...
The control voltage for the contactors for the condenser fans comes from the compressor module. The fans stage off of temperature it gets from the saturated condenser temp sensor.
First you can test and make sure the fans work by putting unit in test. Go to service mode and turn everything off except for for your condedser fans. Then push test start and verify all condenser...
First are you 100% sure the it is going off on high head? Also are all the fans and all the fuses for the fans good? The condenser fans are staged by condenser saturation temperature sensor on...
I think he failed a test.
I don't see universal helping much if at all.He would not be working on any of that equipment by himself anytime soon.
Wait how do you check pressure? lol
That is because the Amscot was down and no one there knew how to fix it.
That sucks I would find somewhere new to work.
Yes that is correct.
Trane is a great place to work but if you don't know much you will not make much. Starts at only 11 or 12 and you need at least a tech school for that but the training
is the best.
The local in tampa starts at 14 and change a hour. As for non union would say close to 10 a hour for commercial.
BAYSENS019B/020B is a programmable one and you do not need a CTI board for it to work.
Can you not just give helpful advice and not act like a jacka$$? I have my dislikes with unions too but even if the union fails there will always be a need for HVAC techs.
The closest local to you is in jacksonville.
Just so you know unions are in Florida. Where in FL are you?

The issue of rightist nationalism as a threat to the European Union and the peace of the new Europe has preoccupied Europeans since 1945, when the predecessors of the EU—the West European Union and then the Coal and Steel Community—were created to assure that Nazism or some totalitarian counterpart would not again rise in Europe.

The U.S. has been making common cause with one of the continent's former European colonial powers in a set of wars that seem to be spreading, not staunching violence and instability in the region.

In his news conference with French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday, President Obama outlined four areas of diplomatic progress.

The French have been shaken by François Hollande's curt, 18-word termination of his relationship with "the woman of my life." The whole matter has taken a significant political turn with the unexpected and noisy anti-Hollande street demonstration that followed the president's statement. This protest was unanticipated and heterogeneous in composition and turned seriously violent.

The French constitutional council upheld a law that bans hydraulic fracturing in the European country; a report claims Syrian rebels committed war crimes, killing and abducting hundreds of civilians; and data analytics are being used to discriminate against the poor.

An estimated 150,000 people took to the streets of the French capital Sunday to protest the same-sex legislation signed into law last week. Meanwhile, in the south of the country, the Palme d'Or, the highest honor of the Cannes Film Festival, was awarded to "Blue Is the Warmest Color," a long and very explicit movie about a teenager's wakening lesbianism.

French actor Gerard Depardieu has resorted to becoming Russian in order to avoid paying taxes in France, with a little help from Vladimir Putin of course; Jane Harman is being considered for CIA director, despite her past involvement in an Israeli intelligence influence operation; meanwhile, the Obama administration has been compiling a database that helps it determine how to treat a suspected terrorist. These discoveries and more after the jump.

Gerard Depardieu's blustery renunciation of his French citizenship for the purpose of avoiding a tax increase imposed to combat the fiscal crisis has exposed a bitter division in the French populace that includes some of its most famous citizens.
A still from 'Amour'
I think the message of "Amour," if it may be said to have one, is that love is sometimes—probably rarely—eternal.
France has a double crisis. Its ruling political party, Francois Hollande's Socialist, is in a state of catatonia, usually defined as a condition of incoherence with alternate periods of stupor and activity. More after the jump about that.
Pope Benedict XVI claims that, thanks to a sixth-century monk's mistake, the most commonly used calendar is off by several years; topless feminists disguised as nuns protest anti-gay marriage in Paris; meanwhile, mainstream media pile on the same cliches about Israel and Palestine we've been hearing for 40 years. These discoveries and more after the jump.

On the eve of a eurozone summit that will consider a unified continental budget, French President Francois Hollande said that his half of the Paris-Berlin crisis team will insist on an easing of German leader Angela Merkel's hard push for "austerity and the surrender of national powers to tighten fiscal discipline," The Guardian reports.

European leaders are drawing up a solution to the EU's fiscal crisis that would hand sovereignty over the budgets and fiscal policies of eurozone states to Germany in return for the pooling of national debt and banking liabilities.

I am planning an ad campaign where I will use a few QR codes to promote specific products and am currently looking for a way to track their usage.
I searched around and found a few tutorials, mostly involving external solutions like using bit.ly URLs but the last one I found suggested using the Google Analytics URL Builder which I could use to create URLs like this for example:
Surely your plugin can also be used to filter for this, right?
Is this one of those situations where I need a custom filter or how can I track usage of these parameters? I'd hate having to switch to an external source like GA if I could do it with your plugin.

Along with malachite, Lapis Lazuli is one of the first treasured stones of human kind, and has been mined for over 7,000 years. Its name stems from the Latin word "lapis" meaning stone and from the Arabic word "azula" meaning blue. This treasured blue stone can be found throughout many ancient civilizations. Before a synthetic substitute was created, it was often ground and used as a pigment, making blue paint, "Ultramarine" the most expensive and valuable paint available. For this reason, blue paint was most often reserved for royalty and holy figures such as the Madonna. Much of the worlds Lapis Lazuli is mined from mountains in northern Afghanistan.

Hi everyone - I am working with the fresh & clean theme and it seems my featured image is not showing up in the slider. I have the post set as sticky and added a featured image to it that is 840 x 280 but the image only shows up next to the post and not as part of a slider. I was able to get it working fine on wordpress.com but because I wanted to self-host in order to customize some other features, I can't seem to get it working on the self host site.

Thanks for anyone that can offer any advice to a wordpress newbie!

Laurel Park candidates
Published: Friday, October 16, 2009 at 10:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 16, 2009 at 10:24 a.m.
Carey O'Cain
Carey O'Cain has been involved with Laurel Park for many years as the president of the Laurel Park Civic Association.
"I am very involved with community development, improvements to the town and maintaining its history and implementing the resources used for town funding," he said.
He would like to continue that involvement on a greater level as a member of the town council.
Safety and security
O'Cain said maintaining safety in Laurel Park is paramount and credits Police Chief Don Fisher and his department for the attention given to the community.
Density of housing
Laurel Park is experiencing a fair amount of growth in population over the years, O'Cain said, and there is an overall plan to maintain medium to low density.
"We should stick with that plan," he said. "The idea is to maintain the small-town atmosphere and to protect the history and wealth and beauty we have."
Sewage system
There are a variety of people looking for grants for the project, he said. O'Cain would find a grant writer to work on finding the funds to purchase a $9 million sewage system.
Increasing revenue
Laurel Park has a small business district, so the impact decreasing sales tax revenue is not a show stopper, O'Cain said. The idea of mixed-use development along the U.S. 64 corridor has been brought up.
"But we have to be careful there," he said. "The primary goal in Laurel Park is to maintain the small-town atmosphere. We don't want to get large. But if we saw the opportunity to slowly expand commercial activity on the 64 corridor, we would certainly look at that," O'Cain said.
Rails to Trails
"That would be beautiful if we could pull that off," O'Cain said.
A hiking and biking trail would be an asset to Laurel Park, he added. Properties along the trails would increase in value.
"I'm sure people would have different opinions about that," O'Cain said. "We would have to listen to what the people say but I would think it would be wonderful."
Future park at lake
O'Cain said the civic association has been involved with the future prospect of adding a park on Primrose Lane through the greenway board. Now association members are compiling information to take to Clemson University, in hopes of having landscaping and architect students work on some designs for the property.
"From that we can glean the best approaches for that property," O'Cain said.
Power outages
Addressing frequent power outages is a cooperative effort between Duke Energy and the town council, O'Cain said. The power company has done a good job clearing the lines, but didn't do a sufficient job disposing of the debris, he said.
"It could be a hazard," O'Cain said. "But the attitude between the power company and the town is excellent."
Andrew Kilpatrick
Andrew Kilpatrick has always had an interest in the local government and would like to contribute to the town's planning as a commissioner. He sat down with the Times-News Wednesday to discuss his campaign.
New sewage system
"I'm looking for cost-effective solutions that won't be detrimental in any way to the people that live here," Kilpatrick said. "I understand that I have a lot more to learn about what the needs and solutions are. I have attended enough meetings to certainly know what the major problems are ... the town is well-run and if elected, I would like to maintain a well-run Laurel Park," he added.
Safety and security
Kilpatrick said not much would need to change to maintain the level of safety in Laurel Park and attributes the low crime rate to Police Chief Don Fisher and his department. "We have an excellent record for the town's low crime and we want to keep it that way."
Density of housing
Kilpatrick hopes to maintain the town's zoning ordinance as it currently stands. He said it's very important to not increase the density of housing in the higher elevations because it would stress the roads and the infrastructure of the location.
"It would have a negative impact on the citizens who live there," he said.
Sewage System
The town would need about $9 million dollars to install a sewage system. There are a lot of engineering issues to be considered, Kilpatrick said, adding that about half of the residents are on septic tanks. He feels they should be inspected regularly.
If elected, Kilpatrick would "make sure there would be an ordinance, where it's reasonable, that requires regular inspections every two to four years on septic tanks to prevent overflow."
Power outages
Laurel Park has had frequent power outages in the past, and recently Duke Energy cleared foliage from around the power lines. Although some residents aren't happy with trees being cut down, Kilpatrick said it's necessary to keep the lines clear to prevent power outages.
Whenever taxes increase, Kilpatrick said, tax revenue decreases for several years. Laurel Park is anticipating less revenue and is adjusting its budget. In the last budget, for example, they didn't purchase a police car. Kilpatrick said he is open to hearing ideas from local businesses to encourage growth in the business district.
"We have a nice business section, and I would like to see it grow," he said.
Rails to Trails
"I feel like that would be great if it would ever happen," Kilpatrick said. However, there must be a process to ensure the security of nearby homes. "In Laurel Park, we could certainly do that easily."
Future park
The town is planning to make the lake bed on Pimrose Lane into a park. "It would be a neat place for a park. I am in favor of it."
Dona Mennella
Dona Mennella has served on the Laurel Park Town Council for eight years and is seeking re-election. She spoke to the Times-News Thursday about her campaign.
Mennella would like to finish some of the projects council has started while she's been in office, including turning the lake bed property on Primrose Lane into a nature park.
Safety and security
With Police Chief Don Fisher vying for the position of Henderson County sheriff, she said the city would be able to find a replacement through contacts such as the N.C. Association Chiefs of Police. She doesn't believe there would be a conflict between Fisher's duties and his time on the campaign trail.
Density of housing
Recently, the council reviewed its ordinances and comprehensive plan. There's no plan to change zoning ordinances or actively annex any land, she said, but council will continue to review any issue on a case-by-case basis.
As for businesses
Mennella said she is impressed with the outcome of The Laurel Park Medical Center on Pisgah Drive. "That really came out better than we thought," she said.
Sewage system
The council has been turned down several times for funding for a new sewage system.
"We have not abandoned that plan," she said. "We are looking to have a sewer plan in effect and put it on the shelf in case something comes up like the opportunity for other grants."
About 50 percent of Laurel Park residents are on septic tanks, and septic failures are a problem, she said.
She would like to have a plan to obtain funding and installing a sewage system for areas that experience septic failures.
Power outages
"We try to keep everything up and running as much as possible," Mennella said. She said Duke Energy did a great job clearing the lines recently, with the exception of gouging on portions of the road, which N.C. DOT repaved.
"Now it's all nice and smooth," she said.
Future park
Mennella said the town is hoping to turn the Primrose Lane property where a lake bed is located into a nature park. The town acquired the property a couple of months ago. She would like to connect it to Little Laurel Green Park and put in small bridges, planting center and a small parking area on the green space.
Rails to Trails
"I am all for it," Mennella said of the proposal.

England out to exorcise Perth demons
With just one victory in 11 Tests, England's record at Perth is the worst of all the five Ashes venues.
Their one success was in 1978 when David Gower scored a fine century and Bob Willis took 5-44 to help England win the second Test by 166 runs.
Other than that, England have endured tough times whenever they have played at the WACA.
After a draw in 1970, which was the first Test to be held in Perth, Australia routed England by nine wickets four years later as Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson wreaked havoc.
That match was better known for a 41-year-old Colin Cowdrey answering an SOS call and flying halfway around the world to face the menacing Aussie pace duo, and David Lloyd being struck in the nether-regions by a fired-up Thomson.
Lillee's aluminium bat caused a furore in 1979 but the bowler would have the last laugh, dismissing four of England's top six as Australia cantered to a 138-run win. Ian Botham, who took 11 wickets in the match, would have felt aggrieved to be on the losing side.
It was another Australian bowler who grabbed the headlines during the drawn Test in 1982. Terry Alderman, who took 40 wickets in both the 1981 and 1989 series, dislocated his shoulder when he rugby tackled a pitch invader.
There were happier times for England in the 1986 Test as Chris Broad, Gower and Jack Richards all posted centuries in a match that meandered to a tame draw.
It has been total domination by Australia in the five Ashes Tests since then, the latest of which being a 206-run win in 2006.
Trailing 2-0 in the series after defeats in Brisbane and Adelaide, England needed to win in Perth to keep their slim hopes of retaining the Ashes alive.
They responded in style with Monty Panesar taking five wickets to help dismiss Australia for a modest 244 after opting to bat first. It was enough for a small lead, though, as England faltered with the bat with only Kevin Pietersen's 70 providing any resistance.
Australia made England pay as Mike Hussey and Michael Clarke hit centuries, but it was Adam Gilchrist's 57-ball ton which confirmed England's demise.
Chasing an unlikely 557, Alastair Cook hit 116 and Ian Bell 87, Pietersen continued his form with 60 not out and there was a defiant 50 from Flintoff, but England fell way short.

* Stars down to sixth magnitude; double and variable stars included.
* All Messier objects, plus many NGC and IC catalogue objects.
* Auto detection of your location and presentation of the chart containing the sky directly overhead.
* Choice of positive charts (white on black, recommended to preserve night vision) or negative (black on white – easier to read and better for daytime use.)
* Charts can shown north up or south up to match your location.
* Search charts by constellation or major star name.
Basic default maps show constellation names, constellation lines and major star names only.
Extra layers can be added to reveal:

If Brad Pitt were playing John Galt, I'd be in favour of Galt being written in somewhat like Adam Selene in Robert Heinlein's 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.'ReplyDelete
In fact for a three-hour movie, that's possibly the best way dramatically to handle Galt's character, IMHO.

You're all kidding yourselves.ReplyDelete
Jolie doesn't give a f**k about the roles she plays (Tomb Raider! For f---ks sake!?). Her being signed is no indication about how good the plot, the directing, the editing and the writing are. And those are the areas where, on average Hollywood has been scoring poorly in recent decades.
Look at the director and the writers and then tell me your predictions about the celluloid version of Atlas Shrugged!
