Totally Brilliant New Year Break !
We spent a week here over the New Year period, with some friends dropping in for some of the duration. The house is perfectly laid-out, well proportioned bedrooms, great bathrooms,fantastic technology throughout music and TV. The pool was perfect, on rainy days the children were so happy to swim and play for most of the day. Everything we could have needed was at our finger tips and would not hesitate to return at any time.
Brilliant weekend!
Had a great family weekend stay ! The property lived up to our expectations and the owner very kindly left toys and books for our grandchildren to play with. We have had this annual event at different places for the past 4 years and all of our children said this was their favourite venue!!! Would go back again!
My family and I had a lovely time while we stayed a the house for a week. The house is beautiful, very clean and modern. The house is very spacious and very well laid out. The basement space was perfect for our private yoga sessions and massages. And with the heated indoor pool, hot tub, movie room, and fully equipped kitchen and stunning dining room, you can really spend the whole vacation just staying in the house!
The location of the house is very ideal. It is situated on a quiet street, only short walking distance to the beach and very short drive to the ferry to Swanage for a pleasant day trip. Also several restaurants/cafes nearby within walking distance was helpful.
The owner was very pleasant and accommodating to our needs since we had a young baby with us. Our entire stay as a pleasure and we are looking forward to returning soon!
Beautiful, stylish, luxury, modern, just perfect
This house is just wonderful, better than could be described in any explanation, it is so much more than you read in the description! The attention to detail is magnificent and layout and finishings perfect. My friends and I had the best weekend and were greeted with the most beautiful welcome hamper, the house is equipped with all state of the art technology and the home owner could not have been more helpful and understanding to all of our wishes and needs! The house is beautiful and spacious, beds comfortable and the pool and jacuzzi brilliant! Perfect house in a perfect location. We could not have been happier and we will be returning :)
WOW house
The house was everything we hoped for and more. The owner was very accommodating and made a real effort to ensure we enjoyed the stay. The house was a surprise for our sister and it was great to watch her reaction as she walked in. The kitchen and dining room are stunning, with a lovely long table for a dinner party. The pool and Jacuzzi were a perfect size, looking great when they were lit up at night. The technology in the house is impressive – we used their Sonos system with excellent speakers, and we had great fun choosing from the DVD collection to watch a movie in the surround sound living room.
We were lucky to have great weather so the location was perfect for a visit to the beach. Even though we didn't want to leave the house! All in all, I'd highly recommend this property for a special weekend away. Enjoy!
'Myself and my family (husband and two children 7 and 1) spent two amazing weeks in Sandbanks during the summer with another family with 3 young Children. My husband is in the travel business and he is hard to please but we were all so happy with our holiday. The attention to detail in the decoration was incredible – the rooms were incredibly comfortable and the children loved their beach themed bedrooms. This house was very family friendly – the children were in heaven. My husband was happy too that he had escaped the 'hotel holiday' seeing as he spends so much time in hotels!
The house was perfectly equipped for my very inquisitive baby as well with safety gates on the stairs, and she had a ball finding her way around the large open plan living space and exploring all the toys that had been left for us (and carefully concealed in cupboards here and there). Normally I wouldn't have spent two weeks with another family, however the house was such a fabulous space that we never felt under each others feet.
The pool area very well designed and quite tropical under the glass canopy! The children loved the garden and games facilities in the basement and easy access to the garden from the kitchen made it easy to enjoy the lovely weather we had – a great bonus and included in the price….! We ate outside on the evenings we were at the house, but a lot of the time was spent walking to and from the beautiful beaches and enjoying everything sandbanks had to offer.
A first class house and facilities and location and a perfect holiday - we will definitely be back next year. '

Activity and Interests
On Your Doorstep
The property is situated in the heart of Sandbanks Peninsula, essentially surrounded by golden beaches and beautiful homes, from quaint beach bungalows, to waterfront mansions & the latest modern glass fronted houses. You are also surrounded by a hive of activity & beauty. The property is just minutes walk away from the award winning blue flag Sandbanks beaches. There are beautiful bays protected by the groins & sand dunes just down by the Haven Hotel (our personal favourite) or walk a few yards further to Sandbanks beach front, where there are a choice of restaurants, WC facilities & BBQ area. There is also a children's park & Sandbanks Crazy Golf.
If you want a more tranquil beach experience, the Swanage chain ferry is also a short walk away next to the Haven Hotel, which leads you directly to Shell Bay, Shell Bay Fish Restaurant & Studland Beach Nature Reserve, set in 4 miles of unspoiled soft sands & wild sand dunes. A wonderful place to watch the boats go by & the sun go down or even horse ride along the sands. Take your car & you can enjoy the beautiful beaches towards Old Harry Rocks, Purbeck Hills or go to Swanage beach, a perfect sheltered spot for scuba diving & sailing.
The Brownsea Yellow Ferries can also be found close to the Haven Hotel, which take you across to the wild island of Brownsea, a National Trust Nature Reserve, teaming with bird life & home to the very rare red squirrels. You are free to explore the island & its many paths down to its secluded beaches. Other ferries from here can also give you tours of the Jurassic coast line or hop on for a simple transit to Bournemouth Pier to experience Rock Reef & the piers 'ocean zip wire'.
Close location to the property, you can hire bikes & a variety of water sports equipment; including sailing dingy's, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding or kite surfing & lessons are available. Surfers may wish to travel further to Bournemouth, Boscombe Surf Reef or westbound to the stunning Kimmeridge Bay, famous for its fossils & wild, natural beauty. Kimmeridge is part of the breath taking Jurassic Coast Line. Be sure to include Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove in your visits. Known for its fossil forest & stunning scenery, you can walk along the coast line for miles. You may even pick up a fossil or 2!
Short Drive Away
Poole & Bournemouth have a range of fantastic activities which are also included in the Location Guide. A short drive away is busy Tower Park with its cinemas, Lemur Landing (soft play), Splashdown, Bowlplex & eateries. Also in driving distance is an indoor skate park, ice rink, soft play centres, indoor rock climbing, dry slope skiing or ringos, driving ranges & numerous golf courses.
Slightly further a field you have Farmer Palmers, Adventure Wonderland, Paultons Park, The Tank Museum, Monkey World. Bournemouth has theatres, cinemas, Bournemouth Aquarium, Rock Reef & Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. There is just so much to see & do.
For a more natural experience, such as walking & bike riding, visit Hengistbury Head, Upton House, The Purbeck Hills, the New Forest or Moors Valley. Moors Valley Country Park is less than half an hour away, with miles of woodland parks for walking or cycling, with wooden play structures ideal for children to climb & explore. They have a small steam train & mini station which will take you around the park. You can also 'Go Ape' where you climb through the trees & use zip wires! Exhilarating fun for the whole family. If you are feeling in an active mood, New Forest Water Park is just down the road from Moors Valley where you can enjoy the cable wake board park & have lessons to get you started or tips on how to perfect those tricks!

The marketing dept comes to you and insists that you do the following for each splash screen: Take the template company logo image and insert a different product logo per product to the precise location (precise down to the pixel, and yes there are people who are this picky....). Then take the resulting image and draw the product name, version, build # and date, and rotate that slighty by 5 degrees. Are there any existing utils that allow you to do this without either writing a shell script or coding your own executable specific for the task? I haven't been able to find one.... and I think it'd be incredibly useful. Especially if a wide assortment of ANT users develop servlet based apps. You can also throw some more twists to the story, like add a certain border, or background, alpha layer, etc to make the task more difficult.

- //Family Guy
Family Guy has an enormous Simpsons problem. It's the more popular show, but for anyone over 20, it's perceived as inferior. It's been trying to move out from behind the long shadow of The Simpsons since its premiere in 1999, and has succeeded/failed to varying degrees. But where it counts the most (the quality of the show), Family Guy is more like The Simpsons than anyone would like to admit—after a few seasons of solid, under the radar comedy, it's gone populist, and taken to recycling plots and relying on cheap pop culture references for jokes.
Family Guy owes obvious debts to The Simpsons, but that doesn't necessarily make The Simpsons the superior program—there hasn't been a truly great Simpsons episode in roughly 10 years, leaving it as the Brett Favre to Family Guy's Aaron Rodgers. The old form is favored by the old timers (you should have seen it back in 1996!), and the new form is favored by the youngsters (those old shows are dried up and lame!), with both sides being entirely wrong.
Family Guy: Vol 6
US DVD: 21 Oct 2008
The Simpsons was always about pop culture references, but they made sure not to harm the flow of the episode's pacing to make jokes about The Crying Game. Family Guy's jokes are more tasteless, and mostly stupid, but they've been more inspired over the show's run against similar episodes of The Simpsons.
The DVD set ("Volume 6") of the sixth season of Family Guy contains a smattering of cut scenes (all of which could have been cut and pasted at will into any episode), and a bunch of commentaries from cast and production staff. Also curiously included are the original TV-aired episodes, and the one that appears on the DVD (as if anyone watching wants to watch episodes with the swear words beeped out).
Plot has never really been an important device in cartoons (unless it's the superior to all of Fox's Sunday cartoons, King of the Hill), but Family Guy takes that to an incredibly bare degree—there's nothing to demarcate what begins any given season or ends it. The Griffin family (the Homer Simpson-esque Peter Griffin, his wife Lois, kids Chris, Meg, and Stewie, and their talking dog Brian) never changes (except in superficial ways like Peter's job) and never learns anything. Nothing is important to individual episode but the random references that keep them together.
But Family Guy disrupts any semblance of plot to make said pop culture references. And in season seven, Family Guy hews pretty close to the charges levied at it from South Park: the references are chosen at random by manatees.
These pop culture in-jokes are okay to swallow (by now, Family Guy's way of making a joke is pretty well established—"You think that's bad, it's like the time I ate dinner with Hamid Karzai") but by this time in the show's run, I think the writers are growing tired (this is perhaps most evident in the show's current season, where they've made two lengthy Back to the Future references in as many episodes).
Plus, the show's references used to be outré and catered towards pop culture-philes (how else would you explain lengthy references to Minnie Driver's huge head, Ben Affleck preparing for acting roles in three minutes on his couch, among thousands others), now they're aimed at the wider audience the show has (like the previously mentioned Back to the Future references). Often, the references play like segments in The Epic Movie vein—winking references to pop culture items that every person watching Family Guy knows.
Family Guy's sixth season does have two episodes with something resembling a plot—a two-episode arc that finds Stewie finally acting on the empty death threats he's shouted at his mother since the get go. Stewie seizes his opportunity when Lois and Peter go on a vacation without him, and he kills Lois on a cruise ship. This leads to Peter being accused, and an epic court case that ends with Lois not being dead. Stewie flees after Lois tells everyone he's the culprit, eventually taking over the world. Just when you think Stewie is vanquished for good (after a massive fight between Lois and Brian and Stewie), it turns out the whole two episodes were a simulation that Stewie is running to see what would happen if he killed Lois.
The show gets meta in the conclusion—Brian says, "So if someone watched the simulation, it would be a total waste of their time?" Stewie responds, "Well, hopefully they would enjoy the ride." That sentiment proves to be rather fitting, the two episodes were the season's strongest, as the plot took center stage in order for it to be advanced as far as it needed to go. The references that were tossed in were mostly funny (Lois is saved by a Merman whose top half is a fish head), and served the plot. Unfortunately the momentum established by the two episodes doesn't carry over to the rest of the season.
When Family Guy was revived by FOX aftet big DVD sales and success in syndication, it was all but pre-ordained that the show would get more extreme in its jokes and go full throttle towards complete irreverence. FOX had already canceled the show twice, and made a big deal about re-launching it, so another cancellation seems impossible. But given the show's current trajectory and the quality of its recent episodes, you have to wonder how long they can keep it up before a shake-up is necessary. It'll probably take a new animated show to call Family Guy out for its indiscretions, kind of like how Family Guy did the same for The Simpsons.

Dear All,
Has anyone out there forgotten to take their OCP during a donor cycle?
I usually have my pill at 6 a.m and got distracted and didn't take it until 3:30 p.m.
I feel extremely foolish and angry with myself for potentially stuffing up my pending cycle.
My husband rang our Australian specialist who reassured all should be well.
That said we have invested so much emotionally and financially in this cycle and I hope and pray I haven't damaged our chances.
I am really worried that I may have messed up my hormones and hoping that I don't ovulate.
Any advice good, bad or indifferent would be appreciated.

16-foot Zidane head-butt statue at Paris museum
PARIS (AP) -- The historic head-butt that marked the end of France great Zinedine Zidane's international soccer career is immortalized in bronze.
A 5-meter (16.4-foot) statue portraying Zidane aiming his shaved head at Italian opponent Marco Materazzi's torso has been erected in front of Paris' Centre Pompidou modern art museum.
Zidane played for Real Madrid and other professional teams and helped France to victory at the 1998 World Cup. But in the 110th minute of a riveting World Cup final in 2006 against Italy, Zidane lowered his head and rammed Materazzi's chest, knocking him to the ground.
Zidane, who had planned to retire after the World Cup, later apologized and said he was responding to repeated insults from Materazzi.

This Ford Capri comes with K-Jetronic, 160 hp and 2.8L V6 Engine. A Bodykit of Moretti. It has a rollcage by Wiechers, a Ford Capri II front and nice BBS Wheels (9x15" Front and 13x15" in the Back).

Created in 1953, "The American Road" is an epic documentary that tells both the history of the automobile in America and the story of the Ford Motor Company. Drawing on the Company's vast archive of films -- Henry Ford spent a great deal of time and money having crews film life in everyday America -- the movie shows how mass production of the automobile transformed life in America. The film was written by Joseph March, directed by George Stoney, narrated by Raymond Massey and one of the cinematographers is Robert Downey Sr. The film features images of Henry Ford, his wife Clara Ford, son Edsel, Henry Ford II, Benson Ford, Harvey Firestone, Barney Oldfield and others. The movie's score was by Alex North, the famed composer. The modern end segment of the film showing highways and the Golden Gate Bridge -- which here appears in black and white -- was actually updated several times over the life of the film (this one apparently dates to the 1970s).

A fixation that has the potential to lead to a major global war as key world powers are now involved.

Pete Nelson has one of those careers you might have fantasized about at age eight but never realized is really possible: he's the world's best-known treehouse designer and builder.
Now, the star of Animal Planet's reality show Treehouse Masters has compiled all his fort-building wisdom into a book, Be in a Treehouse: Design/Construction/Inspiration . If you've got fantasies of ditching your earth-bound home to move among the leaves, you'll find ample temptation and instruction here. The guide portion of the book details everything from how to secure a building permit, to tree selection, to designing platforms in accordance with the International Building Code.
Nelson uses 21 of his own designs as case studies, each from Treehouse Point, his family's treehouse-based bed-and-breakfast in Issaquah, Washington. "If your treehouse needs to be a classic single style—so be it. If it needs to be Frank Gehry—make it so! If it is something no one has ever seen before—more power to you. Just do it!" he encourages.
As inspiration, he also offers a tour of 26 of the world's coolest treetop homes. Here, we've picked 13 of those dreamy sky-high huts, from the fairytale-worthy Witch House in Ibiza to a mirrored cube that reflects the Swedish wilderness.
The HemLoft, Whistler, BC, Canada
This intricate cocoon sits at the trunk of a mighty hemlock. Rookie builder Joel Allen made it from $10,000 worth of free materials he found on Craigslist.
Tyrolean Treetop, Mariastein, Austria
Bernd Weinmayer, a famous glass artist by trade, is also a crafty woodworker, and he built this beauty above his studio in the Tyrolean Alps. Inside, there's a woodstove and a couch. A system of cowbells alert him to the arrival of visitors below.
Tongabezi Lodge Treehouse, Livingstone, Zambia
This lavish resort is perched over the bank of the Zambezi River, which marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Trunks of a riverine ebony tree rise through the floor, and a basalt cliff makes up the structure's back wall. It's equipped with a claw-foot tub and toilet.
The Witch House, Ibiza, Spain
A man on an island off the Spanish mainland hired Nelson to build this fairytale treehouse for his supremely lucky young son, Daniel. An Aleppo pine hosts the magical creation.
The MirrorCube, Sweden
The Mirrorcube is one of five individual treehouses that make up Sweden's Treehotel. It has an infrared shield invisible to the human eye but fully visible to birds that would otherwise crash into it.
Dick and Charlie's Tea Room, Caddo Lake, near Uncertain, Texas
This bayou-style treehouse, perched in Cypress trees, is said to be a relic of the years after Prohibition, when the citizens of Uncertain, Texas (yes, that's the town's real name), in a dry county, would row across the bayou to patronize wet establishments in stilt houses in the neighboring county. A sign outside details the House Rules: 1. There ain't any; 2. There never was none; 3. There ain't gonna be none.
For more treehouses, click the slide show above.
Be in a Treehouse: Design/Construction/Inspiration is available here for $26.

People wonder why I don't waste my time on politics
But maybe I would give more respect to it if it didn't have a lot of tricks
It's just a vastly formal game consisting of blood-sucking tics
Yes I said it – parasites as good as wax-devoid candlesticks
Election is coming up soon and most are hunting for their political savior
And these candidates will say anything to the people for a higher score
Then we finally choose our president and he does a pinch of what he promised before
So the lives of the American people are still hard – they feel mauled by a carnivore
To me, the only good presidents in history were the emancipationists
Everyone else pretty much hibernated once elected and now everyone is pissed
No matter who is in office, we get the same taste of justice
Which says: If a problem persists, we'll just overlook and dismiss
They are professionals at cracking down on what really isn't a problem
Yet refuse to deal with real issues by destroying the roots of the stem
I guess I'm a fool for thinking this way
But I've always believed in work before play

[authors: Michael A. Piracci and Dana D.C. Westfall]
Foreign exchange swaps and foreign exchange forwards are exempted from the definition of "swap" under the Commodity Exchange Act.
On November 16, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Secretary) issued a final determination (Determination) exempting foreign exchange swaps (FX Swaps) and foreign exchange forwards (FX Forwards) from the definition of "swap" under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), thereby relieving them from the central clearing and exchange-trading requirements that apply to other types of swaps.[1] The Determination will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
Exemption for FX Swaps and FX Forwards from "Swap" Definition
FX Swaps are defined in the CEA to include (1) an exchange of two different currencies on a specific date at a fixed rate that is agreed upon at the inception of the contract covering the exchange and (2) a reverse exchange of those two currencies at a later date and at a fixed rate that is agreed upon at the inception of the contract covering the exchange. FX Forwards are defined in the CEA to include a transaction that solely involves the exchange of two different currencies on a specific future date at a fixed rate agreed upon at the inception of the contract involving the exchange.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the definition of "swap" included FX Swaps and FX Forwards, which therefore made them subject to all of the Dodd-Frank Act requirements applicable to swaps, such as the central clearing and exchange-trading requirements, reporting obligations, business conduct standards, and margin requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, also gave the Secretary the authority to make a determination that FX Swaps and FX Forwards should be exempted from the definition of "swap," and thus the Dodd-Frank Act requirements applicable to swaps, other than anti-evasion provisions, reporting to a swap data repository and business conduct standards for swap dealers and major swap participants (MSPs).
In the Determination, the Secretary noted that FX Swaps and FX Forwards differ from other swap transactions in that they generally have fixed payment obligations, are physically settled, and are predominantly short term. The Secretary noted that these characteristics obviate the need for the central clearing and exchange-trading requirements that apply for other types of swaps.
The Secretary specifically noted that the Treasury Department's authority to issue the Determination was limited to FX Swaps and FX Forwards and did not extend to other types of foreign exchange derivatives. Specifically, foreign exchange options, currency swaps, and non-deliverable foreign exchange forwards (NDFs) are not covered by the Determination and, therefore, remain within the definition of "swap" and thus are subject to all of the CEA's swap requirements.
Despite the Determination, transactions in FX Swaps and FX Forwards still must comply with the CEA's general reporting requirements (but not real-time reporting requirements), and swap dealers and MSPs that are parties to a transaction involving FX Swaps or FX Forwards still must comply with external business conduct standards. FX Swaps and FX Forwards also are subject to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC's) anti-evasion authority.
FX Swaps and FX Forwards do not need to be included in calculating whether an entity must register as a swap dealer or an MSP or considered in determining whether an entity's activities involve commodity interests requiring registration as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity pool operator (CPO), or commodity trading advisor (CTA). Additionally, FX Swaps and FX Forwards will not be subject to the mandatory clearing and exchange-trading requirements established as part of the new swap regulatory framework.
The Determination also eliminates the need for the relief provided by the CFTC Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight's October 12 No-Action Letter,[2] which allowed entities to exclude FX Swaps and FX Forwards from threshold calculations for determining if swap-dealer or MSP registration was required, or if CPO or CTA registration was required, because of an entity's swaps activity (No-Action Relief). As a result of the Determination, the No-Action Relief is moot.

Mobile and Wireless: Tablets and Notebooks: Picking the 10 Best for Mobile Users
Apple's New iPad
This is an obvious one, isn't it? Apple's new iPad, which launched earlier this year, comes with a 9.7-inch screen, 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) support and iOS 5. Most reviewers agree that it offers a higher level of quality than the vast majority of products on store shelves. If that's not enough to help you make a choice, what is?
The technology industry is now dominated by mobile products. From iPhones to iPads, Ultrabooks to Chromebooks, just about every consumer and enterprise user is spending serious cash on mobile devices. Companies that had previously spent much of their time trying to target other, more-grounded markets are now realizing that in order to be successful in this generation, going mobile is the right move. As a result, vendors are sending out mobile products to store shelves at an astonishing rate. Nearly every day, a new smartphone, tablet or notebook is launching with hopes of becoming the hot product everyone wants. In some cases, vendors are having some success. In others, they're falling short. But for consumers and enterprise decision makers, the hardest part of the whole ordeal is trying to cut through the clutter to get to the good stuff. This slide show might help simplify that process. Rather than waste time searching through reviews or playing the guessing game, the following items will make it clear which products will be best for today's mobile users.

Zlien Closes Round of Investment Capital
Local Entrepreneur will help contractors collect on debt. Nonprofit investment fund leverages $450,000 for lien filing service innovation.
"The Startup Fund is delighted to invest in Zlien, a business providing a turn-key service to the construction industry, helping them manage and enforce lien rights to get paid on receivables, " said Leslie Jacobs, CEO of the Startup Fund. "The Startup Fund works to accelerate the growth of high-potential companies in the Greater New Orleans region that have national—or global—aspirations. This infusion of capital will allow Zlien to create new jobs in New Orleans, in turn allowing the company to expand business nationwide."
Zlien provides both large and small construction companies an easy, cost-effective way to collect on outstanding debts. "This is a very exciting time for Zlien. It's our mission to make mechanics lien filing and compliance simple for the construction industry, and this funding is going to help Zlien continue its aggressive development of solutions in this space," said Scott Wolfe, CEO of Zlien.
"NOSF has been a significant asset to our company. More than guidance through the funding process, the Startup Fund has been concerned about our business, connecting Zlien with highly qualified contacts who not only understand our company's goals and challenges, but who are actually willing to help. The experience and knowledge we've collected working with NOSF absolutely matured our company at least three times faster than we could have done on our own."
Zlien's executives boast strong New Orleans ties, and the decision to locate their business in New Orleans was an easy one, according to Wolfe. "There's no better place to start a business right now than New Orleans. There's a lot of talent in the city and the entrepreneurial community is a tight-knit bunch with a real solid base of resources," Wolfe said. Moreover, New Orleans native Jennifer Smiley serves as Zlien's COO, where she has guided the company to year-over-year growth.
The New Orleans Startup Fund is funded through a combination of private and public programs, including the Louisiana Economic Development Corporation, U.S. Economic Development Administration and the Louisiana Office of Community Development/
About Zlien
Zlien provides contractors, suppliers and other construction participants with a turn-key solution to the preparation and filing of its preliminary notices, mechanics liens, state and private bond claims, and miller act claims. Companies can order these notices and lien documents as needed for low flat fees, or they can pay monthly to handle all of their notices, liens and bond claims. To help our clients manage lien compliance issues across the nation, Zlien also publishes a web-based application that calculates lien and notice deadlines.
More information is available at http://www.zlien.com.

I am a SF Giants fan who watched the regular season games via a MLB season subscription. I am now being robbed of my enjoyment because Fox is holding the World Series hostage, a la Hamas or Al-Qaida. The FCC should intervene in the same way our military protects us from terrorists. Instead, the FCC is acting just like the SEC acted in the Madoff debacle.
I've already told cablevision I will not pay for a FOX channel. I'm done with FOX
We are watching via http://www.Ivi.TV which runs on the computer and shows on our flat screen monitor/TV screen.
Just a hint: the first month is free.
And no, we have no affiliation to the business except as newly satisfied customers who are doubly enjoying making a run around Cablevision!
What is a matter with you folks? Cablevsion put you in position. Everyone else is paying these prices…FIOS, Time Warner etc.. They have an old deal. it is cutting into their bonuses.
The analogy is they are like a landlord that has thousand of tenants. The landlord gets a price increase on their oil. So, they do not pay and let the tenants freeze to death and blame the oil company for the increase, while all the other buildings are heated…
Why not supply the HEAT and go to court? You know why, they love putting their customers in the frey…
They STINK…

Getting Intellisense and syntax highlighting to work on React JSX on VSCode
At the time of writing, Visual Studio Code (0.10.6) still do not have a perfect support for JSX/React. You can either have intellisense for your javascript or syntax highlighting for jsx but not both.
The awesome vscode community found a clever workaround.
This is how it works
Step 1: Turn off syntax validation on VS Code
We want to make use of VS Code Intellisense, so we're going to just turn off the javascript syntax validation so that it won't complain when we have JSX. The good thing is syntax highlighting actually still works without javascript validation.
Step 2: Use ESLint for error checking
At this point we need something to replace VS Code ability to tell us should we produce an error in our code. ESLint can provide that support.
Let's install ESLint
npm install eslint --save-dev
npm install eslint-config-airbnb --save-dev
Install ESLint extensions to handle ES6 and React
npm install babel-eslint --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-react --save-dev
Remember if you have a global Eslint the plugins have to be available globally too.
.eslintrc.json config
{ "parser": "babel-eslint", "extends": "airbnb" }
Intellisense is now working while JSX isn't marked as errors.

Listen to Christmas Rocks on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Being pulled over by a state trooper and asked if you feel lucky might sound like the start of an unpleasant encounter but for 10 motorists in West Virginia, it really was their lucky day. Instead of a ticket, the drivers were handed a $100 bill as part of a Secret Santa giveaway funded by an anonymous donor, the AP reports.
Troopers with the Princeton Detachment say that a man —who said he wasn't rich but had some money he wanted to give back to the community—told them he had heard about similar giveaways and gave them $1,000 to hand out.

A world where energy needs are met sustainably and energy efficiency achieves its full potential.
To bring this vision into reality, the IES Group assists countries in identifying and utilizing clean energy resources and energy efficiency opportunities.
The Mexico Energy Initiative seeks to foster increased high impact, collaborative clean energy research and development between the US and Mexico that will benefit Mexico, California, the US, and the world.
The IES Group assists governments, utilities, and the private sector in analyzing and implementing policies and programs to improve the energy efficiency of appliances and equipment.
The International Energy Studies Group addresses the electricity, peak load, and emmisions challenges posed by growing cooling demand by research on the following research topics:
Globally, the power sector currently has the largest emission footprint among all the energy consuming sectors, while demand for electricity in emerging economies is projected to quadruple over the next two decades.
We focus on techno-economic assessments of clean energy options in the power sector, undertake scenario analysis of integration of these options, and assess policies and program for facilitating their adoption.
Our work seeks to promote and advance the evaluation of energy efficiency and clean energy policies and programs. Impact and process evaluations of such programs and policies are conducted to quantify impacts (e.g., kWh saved or CO2 emissions reduced), improve design, and improve implementation.
The IES Group has been working with Indian policymakers and industries for more than two decades. Our work includes reassessing the renewable energy potential in India, developing comprehensive models for optimal grid dispatch and capacity expansion, analyzing the financial and emissions impact of clean energy options for India, and assessing the potential for efficiency enhancement in the residential, industrial and buildings sector.
We provide in-depth analysis of energy efficiency opportunities in energy-intensive industrial sectors (e.g., iron and steel, chemicals, petroleum refining, cement, aluminum, pulp and paper) within targeted countries.
More than 1.25 billion people in the world do not have access to electricity. Renewable energy-based off-grid and mini-grid solutions offer a significant opportunity to increase access to reliable electricity services. We focus on technical guidance and developing policy frameworks for mini-grid and off-grid solutions.
The IES Group's transportation work is a growing area of interest. We are developing various tools and modeling, analysis and design capacities to address the growing and complex needs of conventional, hybrid-electric and pure electric vehicles.

Britons ate 208 million more bags of crisps in 2010 than the year before as the economic downturn led to a more "relaxed" attitude to health, a magazine suggests. Sales of crisps rose 5.7 per cent to 134,622 tonnes, a 7,300-tonne increase on 2009, The Grocer reported.
Much of the sales increase is believed to have been driven by changes in consumer behaviour in hard times.
Mintel analyst Kiti Soinien said: "The recession saw a clear increase in the tendency to treat oneself to less healthy foods, with a shift from the boom mode of self-improvement through healthy eating towards comfort food. In many ways, crisps are seen as the perfect little treat for these times."Reuse content

I want to borrow some ones horse to use at the Stanislaus county fair
I need a good horse that I can use at my county fair. I am a member of my school FFA and I would like to show a horse this year but I don't have one if anyone has a horse and would be willing to let me use their horse I would really appreciate it. Thank you for reading this
You definitely don't have enough information for anyone to even think their horse would be appropriate.
Maybe adding some of this:
Length of lease (you have to pay to "borrow")
Your size
Size of horse
There's a lot of stuff you have to do in order to manage a horse project (if FFA is anything similar to 4h). Not only that, your parents have to be prepared to pay the cost of the horse (unless you can afford it yourself).

By Mark Chesnut
With a slew of hotel renovations, upgrades and expansions, business travelers headed to San Francisco—as well as anyone looking for an upscale California vacation—will find an impressive array of accommodations that can suit just about any taste, from funky to fancy.
Among the recently renovated hotels is the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, which completed a $53 million upgrade this year; improvements include guest rooms with soundproofing and new furniture, as well as expanded and updated meeting space. Also finished this year is a multimillion-dollar transformation of the Hotel Adagio, which now has refurbished guest rooms, expanded meeting space, a revamped restaurant and a new bar.
In May 2012, the Mandarin Oriental San Francisco unveiled luxurious new interiors to celebrate the hotel's 25th anniversary. Located on the top 11 floors of the city's third-tallest building, the hotel has been graced with contemporary and elegant decor, with a brand-new Italian travertine marble lobby, redecorated guest rooms and a new signature restaurant, Brasserie S & P.
Guests at the hip Hotel Diva, part of Kimpton Hotels, are benefiting from that property's $2 million facelift, with even cooler design elements. Also part of the Kimpton group is the 144-room Hotel Triton, which this year enjoyed an imaginative makeover that has resulted in decor like quotes from Beat-era writers such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg; you can also choose to stay in celebrity suites designed by the likes of comedian Kathy Griffin; another suite is dedicated to the Grateful Dead.
Business travelers looking for meeting space will find additional noteworthy options. Moscone Center, the city's largest convention center, recently completed a two-year, $56 million renovation, while renovated facilities at the Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf now sport colors and images that tie in with the vibe of San Francisco Bay—and additional power outlets will surely be appreciated by well-connected travelers.
Mark Chesnut is a travel writer, editor and publisher of LatinFlyer.com, which focuses on travel to Latin America. He recently enjoyed a fun stay at the Hotel Diva.

Alarm Sensors Kit 2 (Smoke)
For Smoke Alarm (GSM Fire Alarm) with alerts to mobile phone
This set includes high quality Smoke detector and special cable (5m/16ft) for wiring - all that you need to make a simple GSM fire alarm system when use together with iSocket Smart Sockets. We prepare our sensors for easy installation. In most cases all you need to do is the final wiring and assembly providing you have a basic knowledge in that area. When used together with iSocket Smart Sockets, you will get a GSM fire alarm system at minimal cost.
You may also use this set with iSocket Smart Relays. If you use this with the iSocket Smart Relay you will need to remove the phone connector jack and wire up your own connection. Alternatively you can use your own cable, providing it is a high quality alarm grade copper cable.
Suitable for different GSM fire alarm systems. Especially tested and approved for use with iSocket devices.
Which sensor should you use – "Smoke" or "Smoke & Heat"?
Both sensors can be used for fire alarm alerts. The "Smoke & Heat" detector gives more peace of mind, since it recognizes not only smoke, but also a high temperature (>57 Celsius or 135F). However this sensor is not suitable to use in premises where the high temperature is normal. If you install the "Smoke & Heat" sensor in premises of this nature, it may send false alarms. For such conditions "Smoke" detector would be the best.
Please read this information concerning the terms of use of the materials downloaded from this website.


text: "The Road", the first full country album from STAIND singer-songwriter Aaron Lewis, is likely to sell between 18,000 and 21,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on November 13 via Blaster Records through Warner Music Nashville."The Road" follows up Lewis' 2011 debut solo EP, "Town Line", which entered the Billboard Country Albums chart at No. 1 and featured the hit single "Country Boy". The new album was produced by Nashville hitmaker James Stroud, who also worked on the EP with Lewis. Lewis wrote nine of the 10 songs on the CD, with the exception of "Grandaddy's Gun". That was composed by Nashville songwriters Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Bobby Pinson, marking the first time Lewis has ever recorded another artist's music for an album. "In the beginning, when I decided I wanted to do a country record, we kind of compiled a list of producers to talk to, and James was the first and last producer I talked to," Lewis told CMT.com. "As soon as I talked to him, I didn't even bother calling anybody else. And obviously, it was meant to be because we work very well together." Lewis recently said that STAIND will go on hiatus after finishing its touring commitments, but insisted that the group is not breaking up. STAIND had a difficult time making its latest record, with the band in turmoil and the sessions eventually leading to a split with founding drummer Jon Wysocki. The new album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard album chart and marked the end of the group's deal with Atlantic Records. Lewis said the band would explore its options during the hiatus, adding that it would take "a ridiculous, ridiculous check for me to be willing to sign a label deal again."
