After not being paid for services rendered (web design), My client and I became engaged in a bitter fight. His attorney issued a cease & desist order asking that I make no contact with him.
Perhaps a week later I received a phone call from a Don Nicodemous. He identified himself as being with a collections law firm (Carson Rose & Assoc.). He explained he knew I was trying to collect money from a client ($4k), and informed me that "there were "others trying to collect from him" as well. Naturally I was curious.
He asked if I were interested in having his firm try to collect for me as well. I carefully outlined all details of my situation including the C & D order from my clients attorney. I specifically asked, "Is there any conflict with that?" He replied,'No - one has nothing to do with another'. Based on his information, and his advising I really had "nothing to lose", I was faxed a collections contract, signed it, faxed it back.
Within two days I received a call from my ex-clients attorney advising me that the harassing calls from Don Nicodemous were, in fact, a violation of the Cease & Desist. She was very careful in describing the dynamic. She advised my-ex client was going to take further legal action in light of my breach of the C & D.
Wanting to minimize damage and collect my thoughts, I contacted Carson Rose & Assoc., Don Nicodemous in particular, and explained his advice and assurance regarding the C & D was totally wrong/inaccurate - and in fact I faced further legal action unless Carson Rose & Assoc ceased all collection efforts immediately.
Nicodemous was abrupt and seemed terribly angry. I admonished him that had he not lied, telling me the Cease & Desist order was unrelated to his collection effort, I would not be in this situation.
After ranting a while, Nicodemous informed me there was a covenant in the Carson Rose contract that forbid me to cancel collections! Beyond, if I did stop the collection effort, I would be responsible to pay his 1/3 commission or $1,300.
I was outraged and very directly pointed out had he not lied about collections conflicting with the Cease & Desist - and had he informed me I would be responsible for his commissions if I needed to cancel his service, I would never have retained his services.
Nicodemous then hung up, without a word. Within 10 minutes an invoice from Carson Rose & Assoc. was faxed over requesting immediate payment of the $1,300 in
As I tried to call and e-mail to make my case, I found Carson Rose & Assoc had BLOCKED my phone number and e-mail address.
Interestingly - another web designer had the exact experience with my ex-client, after picking up where my work left off. She (Chis) had a terrible experience with this client as well, invoiced him, was not paid either, and issued a Cease & Desist order as she tried to collect.
Literally identical situations.
Having this in common Chris contacted me and we shared our common experience.
She had received a call from Carson Rose & assoc. (remarkable, hm?) and was told (as was I), that her C & D had NOTHING to do with collections, etc. She stopped the collections as I did, after the attorney advised her of further legal action.
CR&A invoiced Chris, as they did me, demanding she pay the commission herself. Chris took the matter to heart more quickly than I, did quite a bit of research, and found some fascinating information regarding CR&Associates.
1. All collections entities in Texas are required to post an "A Surety Bond" of $10k with the States Attorney's office. We were informed by the Sec'y Of State (TX.) that
CR&A had no such bond with the Attorney General's Office - and therefor was NOT LICENSED to DO BUSINESS in Texas. The paper work, from the same agency, is being mailed to us as I write this.
2. After Chris had filed several reports on RipOffReports.com, PissedOffConsumers.com, and found a good deal of personal information that would be unquestionably embarrassing to Brandon Douglas Bradshaw (V.P. of CR&A), posting this information as well (http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/recordings.htm), Chris finally got Doug's attention and he called her.
She provided Doug with THE DIGITALLY TAPED CONVERSATION WITH DON NICODEMOUS (his first call in which he lied to her - as he did too me). After hearing Don manipulate the truth and misrepresent himself and CR&A, Doug e-mailed Chris admitting Nicodemous was wrong, "would be reprimanded", and assured her he would dismiss her invoice offering his apologies:http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/dougemail1.jpg, which he did! But not mine?
Please remember that Chris' situation (Cease & Desist), and mine, were virtually IDENTICAL. Since I had not begun business tactics that a cowboy mentality group such as CR&A understands, they as of this writing have blocked all attempts to make contact. Dismissing Chris' invoice, and NOT ADDRESSING MINE, is commonly called DISCRIMINATION. You must treat IDENTICAL situations in IDENTICAL ways, without bias or prejudice. CR&A isn't very effective with the law, nor have they fully recognized what their DISCRIMINATORY actions will cost them. I have sent overnight paperwork showing in detail my identical circumstances, and requesting they dismiss my invoice as they did Chris'. Tomorrow (October 15th) will tell much of what is to follow.
3. Both Chris and I have been hung up on, and Doug Bradshaw seems to have little problem with woman & profanity. If you'd browse to the following URL:
http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/recordings.htm, and find your way to the bottom of the page Chris has created, you'll be be able to click the sound bar and hear Doug's profane manner of communicating in business.
You'll find a good deal of other fascinating data that Chris unearthed. Check the page carefully.
I DEMAND Carson Rose & Assoc. vacate my invoice, as they did Chris', for the lies I was presented with, and misrepresentation that created this nuisance matter.
There hardly seems need to redundantly advise, but do consider this information and all that Chris has discovered as well before doing ANY business with Carson Rose & Associates. They are currently advertising for "INSIDE SALES REPS" (Nicodemous' smarmy job) on Monster.com, in the Washington Post, and various other employment venues. Perhaps those who carry their ads should consider CR&A are apparently not bonded in Texas, and therefore doing business without license. This is documented. Contact us and we can provide the phone number for the Attorney General's Office. Ask if CR&A has an A Surety Bond with the Sec'y of States office. They will tell you "NO".
Keep an eye on Carson Rose & associates name. I'm waiting to hear from Doug Bradshaw tomorrow (10-15-09). If my invoice is NOT dismissed, as was Chris' for Don's lies, We'll have some fascinating follow-ups on the "organization" and it's principles and puppets.

Carson Rose Carrollton, Tx (Also was operating under InternationalFreight Credit Ltd) and in particular a David Kreitmeye/John Berens owes my members monies exceeding USD10,000.00. This Carson Rose are meant to be a debt collector but in fact ramp up debts themselves. You state they do not have a licence to operate under their name?

"Investigator, Steve Taylor, has been contacting my son (who is a student) regarding an alleddged debt an ex-employer owed. Taylor claims that my son was a contact number (which was given by another pror employee in the office). They started calling during the week before exams and called as many times as 14 in 1 hour (on his cell) I have already filed a complaint with the FTC.
THey are liars, cheaters and threating while on the phone. The calls ceased for a couple of weeks but I just received 2 this morning...the recording upon answering is"a legal action in about to proceed against me immediatly..press 1 to talk to someone about those actions".
What a bunch of losers. Their mother's must be soo embarrassed and ashamed of them.

I cannot believe companies like this still operate day to day.. I listed some accounts with them in November 2010. In December they collected on one of them by agreeing to payment in full without the customer paying the collection fees whcih I have in our agreement with them. They are chargiong me the fees and here it is January 24 and I still have not seen a dime from Carson Rose even though they collected monies from my client almost 2 months ago.
I too have filed a complaint today with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General is my next move.

regardless of thier ILLEGAL collection practices, and false representation as "attorneys", even if a company hires them to collect a debt, all they do is call the debtor with an automated recording, at different intervals(2-4 minutes or every 15 min., etc.)- which is not just annoying, but downright hilariuos in the language the use. the old redneck granny JILL JONES is the most hilarious to talk to, and getting her upset on the phone is a total hilariuos hoot!!!!
legal practices: FAIL!
professionalism: FAIL!!
amounts collected: FAIL!!!
overall score: FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

This gentleman that works for this company named Jeff Tate consistently calls my cell phone asking for a payment on a collection account that is not even mine. He has hung up in my face while yelling, left harassing messages on my answering machine, and called me out of my name. I cannot believe they are even allowed to do business with anyone because this is more than unprofessional. I simply called the number back to get information as to why they were calling another number of mine and he took it upon himself to take down my number and begin to call me daily. If my name isn't in their system for owing any debt I don't understand how that is legal to call me. Also when I answer the phone he yells that he wants the money, the money, the money. He has hung up in my face 2 times while we were yelling at each other because I told him to stop calling and when I called back to asked why he called me and then hung up in my face he simply replied if I wasn't making a payment there wasn't anything to talk about. I'm so frustrated because this is wasting my daytime minutes as well as demeaning to me for a debt that's not even mine. I would highly recommend people not hire them to collect funds because that doesn't make people want to pay.0 0 Reply

. . . . and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could kick him. I have known him for over 10 years. Your background check didn't even scratch the surface of the trouble this guy has been in. He's been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon when he tried to run down his first ex wife with a car . . . he has been arrested in San Antonio for a probation violation related to that assault, and was doing drugs and strippers while his second wife and two kids were left out in the middle of nowhere with no electricty or food. He has been caught forging business checks on his computer and taking them to be cashed. This guy is the biggest *** man I have ever met. . . . and the biggest a-hole you will ever run across. He even threatened to put his ex wife and her mother in the emergency room if they didn't do what he wanted. They have it all documented in emails. Seems he never learns, huh? The email posted on AWDS where he threatens the lady, ("you don't know who your messing with") totally mirrors the emails I was shown from others.
So please, remember all this stuff before you ever decide to do any business with either him or his cohorts. All of this information can be documented, so please dig a little deeper to find out the truth about good 'ol Brandon Douglas Bradshaw.

This is mountain out of molehill. Yet another report by the individual calling herself, this time, Amy Ferguson, is entirely her business. It's hard to believe she is still using precious time to wage this war, but it IS her business. I found Carson Rose & Associates very difficult to deal with and was (with me)initially guilty of what I considered fraudulent marketing practices and purporting to be attorney's, which they most certainly are not. They are "sharky" bill collectors. I suppose that's their "job". After I managed to get through to "Doug" (was *** to accomplish), in a conversation Doug understood my argument, and dropped matters entirely. That was all I needed. I was satisfied. Would I recommend them? To collect FOR you, probably - they are relentless. Do I like the organization - no.0 0 Reply

I have just reported Carson Rose and Associates to the Attorney General of Texas and the Federal Trade Commission. I am trying to keep my company running and have been trying to make payments to their client. These people are horrible. They call my office every 2-4 minutes, threaten my employees and do not even have the amount correct. I have sent a cease and desist letter which they tell me they do not are, they will continue to hound me until I quit holding onto their clients money, which I really do not have right now. I would not recommend any company using them for collections. They are not effect. I can say that if I won the lottery tomorrow I would not send them a dime!0 0 Reply

This restaurant never disappoints, from its warm welcome, friendly staff, to deliciously cooked food, lobster pasta is the best! The singer on Sat nite at 8 PM is very good, friendly and fun ...I love the decor of this place and highly recommend!
Chez George has the type of service and general ambiance that most restaurants work their entire careers for.
Located in a bit of an awkward location at the end of a street in Plateau, Chez George is my favorite restaurant in Abidjan. The restaurant sports daily French and Italian good specials, an incredibly warm staff and live music on many...
The best restaurant in abidjan the device is good they prepend very well everything in this restaurant is fantastic
Excellent service and food! Best pizza in Abidjan! Though tricky to get to if you are from out of town, definitely getting lost makes the adventure more fun!
At the prices they charge, you would expect five star food and service. In truth, while the food was good, I would call it average at best. The house cocktail was syrupy and unimpressive, the avocado salad tasted less than fresh, the pepper sauce for the fish brochettes was watery. After paying $100 for two people without a bottle of...
Excellent French & Mediterranean cuisine, efficient service. We've returned on several occasions to try the lobster-based dishes and were treated exceptionally well.
Well cooked flavoursome steak, good chips, cold beer, delicious bread, big bowl of peanuts, even the dessert was good. Hard to fault, and open on a Monday!
Italian type of restaurant. Good food and quite tasty. Should be placed in the better type of restaurants. Friendly staff. Pleasant interior.
The menu hasn't changed in years, nor has the staff, which says a lot about Georges and what he offers. A must for anyone visiting Abidjan-Plateau.
Visited Chez George's a few weeks ago...thought it was a local Ivorian resturant but I think the cuisine is more international. The staff was really friendly and kept ensuring we were doing okay. The food was great. It wasn't overly crowded when I visited but obvious this is a really popular resturant from the traffic I noticed. Will definitely visit...

Skip to comments.Tridentine Mass "Not a Priority," Says Cardinal Arinze (Vatican Synod)
Posted on 10/14/2005 7:01:46 AM PDT by NYer
VATICAN CITY, OCT. 13, 2005 (Zenit.org).- No one at the Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist has addressed the issue of the "Tridentine rite" Mass that the Latin Church used before the Second Vatican Council.
The prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, Cardinal Francis Arinze, mentioned this at a press conference today when he evaluated the first phase of the synodal assembly.
"No synodal father has mentioned this point," said Cardinal Arinze, the co-president of the assembly. The so-called Tridentine rite was approved by Pope St. Pius V.
"If there are groups that desire the Tridentine Mass, this is already provided for," he said. "Bishops may allow it for groups."
"It is not a priority for the synod, as no one has spoken about it," the cardinal concluded. "The problem we have discussed is that many people don't go to Mass, and those that come don't understand -- they go to Communion but not to confession, as if they were immaculate."
Boy if only they could convey that last line to the regular church goer (as far as the notion that if you take communion without confession your essentially acting as though you are without sin).
The key word there is "may." Perhaps the reason they aren't discussing it is because they know Pope Benedict XVI is going to issue a universal indult (pure speculation on my part).
When will they or will they ever realize that the reaspn many Catholics do not attend Mass is because it is not a Catholic Mass!! It is more of a rendition of the Lutheran/Protestant sunday Church meeting, with the communion.
Bring back the the Lation Tridentine Mass and the the strength of the Cathechism of the Council of Trent. Without these Historical Trademarks of the Catholic Church, there is no Catholic Church, just a facsimily.
Even the best examples of the Missa Normativa are still lacking something when compared to the "Mass of all Ages."
And I say this as someone who has only assisted at the Tradtional Latin Mass a handful of times. It's just too obvious to miss.
I think the best thing for the Church to do with the liberty is to go back to 1965 and start over with the reform, doing it incrementally and organically this time.
Unintentional irony alert.
Today the word from the pulpit is that confession is essential for "egregous" sins. What is "egregous" sin? It's pretty bad stuff in my book.
At the same time we are exhorted to go to confession at least once a year because it's a good thing for us.
Perhaps I am reading this all wrong but it seems to me as if the concept of sin and confession have changed, that is, gotten more realistic. Ancient Christians didn't go to confession but once in a lifetime perhaps. It wasn't a weekly or even a yearly sacrament. Confession has changed over the millenium.
At the same time, the concept of receiving the Eucharist has been emphasized more. It also wasn't a DAILY sacrament for most Christians as it is today.
The world has changed. We Catholics DO have access to frequent confession and daily Mass and communion. I can readily understand why the Church has altered its sacraments.
Changes are never done quickly or without profound thought. I THINK that the Church tries to think things through.
Not surprisingly, following a similar train of thought, many American Maronites prefer the soft homiletics and quick liturgy at the NO Mass over the more orthodox reminders of their sins and the 1 1/2 hour Divine Liturgy in the Maronite parishes. There is no pleasing everyone.
Many of the Catholics I have met, can be bested by an 8th-grade Baptist kid who always went to Sunday School, in terms of Bible knowledge.
Strictly speaking, the Mass according to Sacrosanctum Concilium would be that of the 1965 Missale Romanum. The Novus Ordo is a fabrication drawn up 4-5 years after the close of the Council.
You are correct that Novus Ordo needs to be celebrated as prescribed in the GIRM. The problem, however, lies in the fact that the GIRM allows for too many variations. This is an issue that the Pope Benedict is well aware of and probably plans to address.
In the meantime, the Tridentine Mass at the very least offers the faithful a stable liturgy, something which is sorely lacking in the Novus Ordo, both due to the provisions in the GIRM and in spite of them.
Mike - Vatican II did not call for a new rite of mass to be created. Paul IV was a weak pope and allowed the bishops with their own agendas to push him into allowing a watered down protestant mass. I know this because I spent time as a lutheran and came back. The Lutheran service(ELCA) is very close to the Paul IV mass. Even the eucharistic prayers are close.
I now attend the indult in Norristown and go to the one in New JErsey from time to time. Believe me, the traditioanl latin mass is better in terms of reverence and theology.
If you have been following the Synod postings, it is evident that the Normative liturgy is drawing in people and many converts, throughout Africa, India and Asia. They are also experiencing a wealth of vocations. Perhaps we need some of their priests to share their joy with us here in the west.
Yeah, what he said.
Very well written. Nice critique.
I think we may also include that not every change that is a problem in the Mass is a official change. Just yesterday we had a fellow tell my daughter's CCD class in front of me that kneeling is going out the door, and officially, nobody in europe kneels. I leaned to another friend who also attends Indults and asked, "What GIRM did he read?"
The article is a comparison of the original Latin text of the Novus Ordo translated into English vs. the text of the TLM translated into English. It is done to show the difference in the prayers of both masses. There is no straw man.
True. Fortunately, God does not judge us on our Bible knowledge, but on how we implement His Commandment of Love.
Did you read his whole article?
To criticize the Novus Ordo Mass is to say that Christ lied and that the Church failed to protect what was most Sacred
This of course is a false statement. Pope Benedict XVI himself has criticized the Novus Ordo.
He's not using the ICEL translations - you didn't read the article. He deals with the ICEL translations in a different article though.
So, you are admitting that the Church, entrusted with the protection of the Sacred as promised by Jesus Christ, messed-up the most Sacred event in the whole of the cosmos?
Not so, there are threads on this forum that quote his criticisms. Here is one:
To His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI : An Open Letter from Traditional Catholics
but you probably won't read it either, oh well.
**"The problem we have discussed is that many people don't go to Mass, and those that come don't understand -- they go to Communion but not to confession, as if they were immaculate."**
Fantastic quote!
Not quite. The Canon itself goes back to at least Pope St. Gregory the Great, perhaps even before that. The other elements were added gradually over the centuries. What Pope St. Pius V did was "standardize" the rite used in the Holy See, and apply it to the rest of the Latin church. Certain other rites, such as the Ambrosian and Mozarbic, are still around.

Is it possible to have a rational discussion?
I did not see an actual quote of Pope Benedict's.
You didn't look hard enough.
This is not surprising. Before the printing press, Christians (who were all Catholic), learned Scripture through the Mass. It came as a great surprise to Scott Hahn when he attended a Catholic Mass for the first time.
"There I stood, a man incognito, a Protestant minister in plainclothers, slipping into the back of a Catholic chapel in Milwaukee to witness my first Mass. Curiosity had driven me there, and I still didn't feel sure that it was healthy curiosity. Studying the writings of the earliest Christians, I'd found countless references to "the liturgy," "the Eucharist," "the sacrifice." For those first Christians, the Bible - the book I loved above all - was incomprehensible apart from the event that today's Catholics called "the Mass."
"I wanted to understand the early Christians; yet I'd had no experience of liturgy. So I persuaded myself to go and see, as a sort of academic exercise, but vowing all along that I would neither kneel nor take part in idolatry."
I took my seat in the shadows, in a pew at the very back of that basement chapel. Before me were a goodly number of worshipers, men and women of all ages. Their genuflections impressed me, as did their apparent concentration in prayer. Then a bell rang, and they all stood as the priest emerged from a door beside the altar.
Unsure of myself, I remained seated. For years, as an evangelical Calvinist, I'd been trained to believe that the Mass was the ultimate sacrilege a human could commit. The Mass, I had been taught, was a ritual that purported to "resacrifice Jesus Christ." So I would remain an observer. I would stay seated, with my Bible open beside me.
As the Mass moved on, however, something hit me. My Bible wasn't just beside me. It was before me - in the words of the Mass! One line was from Isaiah, another from Psalms, another from Paul. The experience was overwhelming. I wanted to stop everything and shout, "Hey, can I explain what's happening from Scripture? This is great!" Still, I maintained my observer status. I remained on the sidelines until I heard the priest pronounce the words of consecration: "This is My body . . . This is the cup of My blood."
Then I felt all my doubt drain away. As I saw the priest raise that white host, I felt a prayer surge from my heart in a whisper: "My Lord and my God. That's really you!"
I was what you might call a basket case from that point. I couldn't imagine a greater excitement than what those words had worked upon me. Yet the experience was intensified just a moment later, when I heard the congregation recite: "Lamb of God . . . Lamb of God . . . Lamb of God," and the priest respond, "This is the Lamb of God . . ." as he raised the host. In less than a minute, the phrase "Lamb of God" had rung out four times. From long years of studying the Bible, I immediately knew where I was. I was in the Book of Revelation, where Jesus is called the Lamb no less than twenty-eight times in twenty-two chapters. I was at the marriage feast that John describes at the end of that very last book of the Bible. I was before the throne of heaven, where Jesus is hailed forever as the Lamb. I wasn't ready for this, though - I was at Mass!
Throughout the year, Catholics hear Scripture through the Daily and Weekly Mass readings. In the span of 3 years, they have "heard and read" the entire Bible! Most Catholics do not feel a need to quote the Bible. And that is why, when confronted by a Baptist or Evangelical, they are easily persuaded to believe they are scripturally lacking. ( How I led Catholics Out of the Church )
I just wish the Baptists, Evangelicals and those from other protestant denominations, had a better appreciation of how much Scripture Catholics don't realize they actually know.
If it had been imposed three years after the Ascension it would be, however it was merely the formalization of the liturgies that had evolved organically over time. The idea that primitive = pure is a modernist fallacy i.e. Rousseau's "noble savage".
The Tridentine liturgy was a mature form of worship and the Novus Ordo was a radical departure from it, imposed on Catholics over a very short period of time.
I'm sorry that you do not understand this.
I have a question. Why are the readings in the Tridentine Mass read a) in Latin and b) facing away fom the people?
Now I have a fair idea of the theological reasons for the orientation of the altar why the priest faces the altar and away from the people during the Offerertory, Canon and consecration of the Tidentine Rite, and it makes plenty sense. However, the readings puzzle me.
Surely the readings are the Word of God and are addressed to the people. That being the case, they should be read facing the people and in a language which they can understand, yes? If I open my Bible and read the Gospels, I do so in my own language. I don't read them in Latin. Surely the same should apply at Mass and moreover, they should be proclaimed towards those to whom they are directed.
This is one of my main problems with the Tridentine Rite. Only one Epistle, in Latin and "mumblemumblemumble"....back wall of Church.
In my opinion, the way the readings were/are treated at Tridentine Masses had a lot to do with the widespread Catholic indifference and almost illiteracy with regard to the Scriptures and the common cliche among Protestants and even many Catholics that we don't bother ourselves with that "Scripture stuff."
So......when the appropriate Vatican Curia calls me........y'all are going to be getting a hybrid Mass, with Novus Ordo Liturgy of the Word including two readings plus a Gospel and Traditional Eucharistic Liturgy, with altar rails and Latin and stuff......
That is all. Carry on.
Lovely, when THAT happens, let me know. I am familiar with Sacrosanctum Concilium and have been to several Novus Ordo Masses at several different parishes. I have yet to find ONE that honors the articles that reference latin and Gregorian chant being retained in the Mass.
Yeah, but they have an abridged edition.;-)
I could live with that. And that, by the way, is all that Vatican II called for.
I have seen some interest in the Missal of 1965 as the true reform Mass of Vatican II. I think that this, with the new Lectionary, should be explored by those in authority in the Church.

TravelPod Member ReviewsNorth Garden Hotel Beijing
The hotel has a beautiful lobby, but service is a little on the skimpy side. It was hard for my friend to get service in the lobby lounge. The hotel was packed during spring festival, so by the itme we checked in, there were no rollaway beds available and we had to settle for a pallet made from some douve' s for one of us to sleep on. The western restaurant was quite good and the breakfast Buffet was as well. Still need to teach people in China how to make coffee. it's very strong and bitter.

Ferry schedule Tongatapu to Pangai, Lifuka
After some further research I can now come up with a more meaningful question.
I need to catch a ferry from Tongatapu to Pangai, Lifuka, Apparently the ferry goes twice a week. Can anybody give me the days - i.e. from TongaTapu to Pangai and from Pangai back to Tanga Tapu? The only other option would be to phone the companies. Anyone out there that knows? cheers

The National Hockey League has taken a proactive step towards mitigating the effects of climate change in releasing the 2014 NHL Sustainability Report. Partnering with the National Resource Defense Council, the NHL outlines and highlights areas where energy use could be reduced and mentions four strategies that various member clubs have implemented to reduce energy usage effectively:
1) Reducing demand – In addition to planting vegetation around stadiums, clubs have also applied reflective, low-emissivity, and white treatments to dark surfaces that radiate heat towards the stadiums and increase cooling costs. By reducing the energy needed to keep the stadiums at the correct temperature, NHL venues are able to reduce their usage without compromising the comfort of players and fans.
2) Increasing efficiency – The main focus of the initiative has been on increasing efficiency in areas such as lighting, HVAC, and dehumidification. By upgrading to newer, more efficient models and using systems such as occupancy and daylight sensor controls, water reduction measures such as zero-water urinals, and building management systems, NHL venue managers have been able to provide significant return on investment while reducing carbon emissions.
3) Deploying on-site alternative energy – By conducting full reviews of financial incentives and return on investment for systems such as solar, geothermal, and deep-lake water cooling, five member venues now supply part of their own energy needs with renewable energy.
4) Advancing dehumidification – Keeping a regulation ice sheet requires humidity to be carefully controlled, which can cause an excess load on the ice-refrigeration system. By using desiccant humidification systems, some NHL venues have been able to reduce the energy used to maintain the ice, though the report is quick to point out that such systems come with a significant initial investment.
"The report's focus on controlling fossil-fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions is a mainstream wake-up call that climate disruption poses an existential threat to everything we hold dear, including sports and recreation," says Allen Hershkowitz, senior scientist and head of NRDC's Green Sports program.

European Convention on Human Rights by Steven Greer
Book Awards
Book DescriptionThis book critically appraises the European Convention on Human Rights as it faces some daunting challenges. It argues that the Convention's core functions have subtly changed, particularly since the ending of the Cold War, and that these are now to articulate an 'abstract constitutional model' for the entire continent, and to promote convergence in the operation of public institutions at every level of governance. The implications - from national compliance, to European international relations, including the adjudication of disputes by the European Court of Human Rights - are fully explored. As the first book-length socio-legal examination of the Convention's principal achievements and failures, this study not only blends legal and social science scholarship around the theme of constitutionalization, but also offers a coherent set of policy proposals which both address the current case-management crisis and suggest ways forward neglected by recent reforms.

I thought maybe some people might agree with me last week that as Juliette Lewis has gotten older, she's gotten hotter but apparently most thought she was hotter younger. Weird. This week's Hot or Not featured lady is another one of those dames that garners a reaction that I'm unsuspecting of. But you might surprise me and share my view. Let's see.
La La Anthony
In the early 2000's, La La Anthony came to the MTV studios as LaLa Vasquez as a host of Total Request Live. A self-described "Black Puerto Rican," I thought it was cool - in passing - that she was gaining popularity on the aging "music" station although I know I never watched her on it. Mainly I listened to the guys I know tell me that they thought she and her prominent posterior were hot.
At some point into the 2000's, Vasquez got hitched to Carmelo Anthony, a basketball player who took kindly to her bodacious booty and made a kid with it. She began to appear on various other TV shows, mainly through the MTV networks and later hooked up an acting career with roles in the original THINK LIKE A MAN, the sequel to which, THINK LIKE A MAN TOO starts this weekend.
I don't know if it's her personality (outlandishly expressive and bawdy) or her close friendship with the soul sucking being that is Kim Kardashian, but even when La La is dolled up, I can't make the whole package work for me in a positive way. She's clearly a good looking woman who appeals greatly to some, I'm just not in that demographic.
What do you think of La La Anthony?

Small Area Map Application
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 35
Project Description
Small Area Map Application
This project will develop a IOS app which will provide basic map display and geofencing. It is intended to be used as a directory for small areas, such as a town district, shopping area, or golf course. The project will be completed in two phases. The first phase will provide basic mapping function and the second phase will add geofencing.
Maps will be created and stored in standard graphics formats, such as PNG, TIFF, and/or JPG. There will be a training step for each map which will assign GPS coordinates to positions on the map, allowing the map to be oriented in coordinate space.
After the map has been "trained" the app will display an icon overlayed on top of the map to indicate the user position as the user (and the mobile device) moves. Once trained, the app will retain the map and training information.
Multiple maps will be loaded and maintained by the app, and will be considered application data. When the mobile device is located in an area that is included on a loaded map, a menu will be available showing those maps (by filename title) that can be brought up for display.
The app will support standard gestures to move, rotate, zoom (in and out), and tap to center with the map responding accordingly. If the user is outside the map area, a default image will be presented.
Phase two will add regions within maps. When the user is in the region, the app will take an action specified for the region. This may include: (1) adding an entry to the menu of possible maps and calling up the menu function, (2) automatically switching to another map, (3) displaying a specific web page within the app with a "close" box, and (4) displaying text including possible HTML links in a popup window.
Regions will defined for given maps using an overlay image. The overlay will be created either by the app itself by marking corners of the region (not necessarily rectangular) or with an image overlay in a file format to be determined. In either case, the regions will be retained in datafiles associated with the application and transferable as app data via iTunes.
Based on success of this application, additional development may be considered.Get free quotes for a project like this

The Gladstone Amateur Radio Club, Incorporated (ABN: 24 766 374 980) promotes and supports the hobby of Amateur radio in the Gladstone Region of Central Queensland, Australia.
Our Town Repeaters (VK4RGT)are located at Maurice Hill between Gladstone and Calliope on 146.625 MHz and 438.050 MHz. The IRLP Node is currently down for maintenance.
We also have use of VK4RGL (439.800, 91.5Hz CTCSS) at Mt. Larcom giving coverage into Yeppoon.
Linking with the Central Highlands ARC network thoughout the Bowen Basin to Mackay/Airlie Beach is our Kroombit Tops 2 metre Repeater (147.375MHz positive offset,91.5 ctcss VK4RGA)
The long-standing link of 146.900 to the Bundaberg club's Mt.Goonanamen has been re-established.
To aid users of the Kroombit Tops National Park and assist the local community we have installed a CBRS repeater (Ch04) at the vk4rga site. It is hoped it will help the residents of the Boyne Valley in disaster situations such as the recent floods where there was,effectively NO communications with the outside world.
Club meetings are currently held at 7:30 PM on the first Monday of every month (except January) at the SES Headquarters, Lamington Drive, Gladstone.
We have carried out a full refurbishment of the VK4RGA site at Kroombit Tops N.P.
This includes replacement of 2mtr antenna with a phased dipole array. A Vertex VXR9000V forms the Repeater with a Vertex VX2200 as the Link.
Additional work saw the feeder APRS repeater upgraded to LDF4-50A.
A project is underway to replace a temporary test CBRS repeater at Kroombit Tops for use by Emergency Services and the general public.
The club offers Foundation, Advanced & Full call examinations and training.

For Sale:
IC: HiFiMAN HE-560
Will Ship To: Lower 48
Interest check for my like-new HiFiMAN HE-560. I got these brand new from HeadRoom last month. They are great headphones and you can find my review of them here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/hifiman-he-560/reviews/11288
I seem to have acquired a larger number of headphones than I need at the moment so I'm looking to sell off a few pairs. I'd be looking for $800 plus shipping to the continental US for these. They are in basically new condition and would come with all original accessories and box. The plastic cling is still on the top of the box so you can peel it off for that 'brand-new feel' if you like.
Photos available on request.

In the This Is My Nightmare series, we'll take a look at what the absolute worst case scenario for each team would be in 2013. Think of it as the negative complement to our You May Say I'm A Dreamer series that we'll be running during our preview series. It is one thing for a team to fall short of expectations, but it is quite another to fall short of expectations while being teased by flashes of what could have been. That is the exact nightmare scenario the Diamondbacks have set themselves up for after their off-seaso roster overhaul. Kevin Towers took a lot of heat for his machinations this winter as he traded away Chris Young, Trevor Bauer and Justin Upton in three separate trades, trades in which the consensus was that the Arizona came out on the losing end, all in favor of creating a roster more in the image of his gruff and gritty manager Kirk Gibson. The theory, as best as anyone can tell, is that while the D'Backs roster might not be quite as talented, it will see make up for that loss of talent and then some by having the kind of team chemistry that would make Henri Louis Le Chatelier jealous. It is a bold gamble that may very well not pay off. After all, it did the Red Sox a fat lot of good to have grinder/outfielder Cody Ross in their lineup last season. In fact, they might have had some of the worst clubhouse chemistry in baseball. If not the Red Sox, then that honor could have gone to the Miami Marlins, where Towers just imported noted gritty reliever Heath Bell from. That's the same Bell that developed a very contentious relationship with manager Ozzie Guillen due to Bell's ineffectiveness and unwillingness to relinquish his closer role. The nightmare though doesn't lie in Arizona's new players performing below expectations, a real possibility for Ross now that he doesn't have the help of the Green Monster, Bell who appears to be on his last legs and rookie import Didi Gregorius who, shockingly, could turn out not to be the second coming of Derek Jeter as Towers proclaimed. No, the proverbial salt in the wound would be for D'Backs fans to see the talented young players they sent away flourish on their new teams. Just imagine how dumb Towers could look if Trevor Bauer becomes a frontline starter in Cleveland while the D'Backs scramble to patch together their rotation after Brandon McCarthy, another clubhouse guy, spends half the season on the disabled list with another bout of shoulder problems. How are the fans going to react to seeing Chris Young have a bounceback season in Oakland while rookie Adam Eaton flops in his first real taste of big league action and gets sent back to the minors by mid-May? The ultimate insult though would be to have Justin Upton, a player the team was hellbent and ridding themselves of despite his immense talent, fully realize his potential in Atlanta. Is Towers really going to still feel confident in his decision to give Upton away for the merely good Martin Prado when he is watching Upton smash 40 homers on his way to the National League MVP and the NL East division crown while Arizona limps to a fourth-place finish in their own division in large part because their lineup could never really get going without a big, monster bat like Upton's in the middle of the order.

Unraveling the Role of Public Researcher Mobility for Industrial Innovation
We estimate the relative contribution of mobile scientists who leave academia for the private sector on the subsequent innovative performance of the firms they join. We use data on the population of Danish firms and their R&D workers for the period 1999-2004 and measure innovation performance by the (value-adjusted) number of patent applications at the European Patent Office. We compare the efficacy of mobile former university scientists to the effects of mobile workers hired from other firms as well as immobile workers on the innovation performance of their employer. Our main result is that mobile university scientists contribute substantially more to innovation than R&D workers hired from other firms who, in turn, contribute slightly less to industrial innovation than recent university graduates. By contrast, immobile workers add little to the innovative activity of their employer. We also find that the contribution of mobile R&D workers to innovation depreciates fairly rapidly. These findings provide us with three main managerial implications: Firstly, hiring scientists from universities is a way of boosting a firm's innovative activity. Secondly, because hires from academia receive lower wages on average than hires from private sector firms, this implies that hiring R&D workers from academia may be a cost-effective way of improving innovation performance. Thirdly, firms need to take measures in order to further public-private researcher interaction to prevent the depreciation of the knowledge stock of their employees.

Pan Phillips Fish Camp
When he rode to the Anahim Lake Stampede in 1977, Dale Dunn and a group of his friends were hosted overnight by the legendary Pan Phillips at his fish camp on the Blackwater River. From 24 June to 14 July 2009, Dale and Yvonne Dunn led a horseback trek from Titetown Lake to Anahim Lake and return. During this trek we had the pleasure of visiting Pan's son Robbie and his wife Linda at the Pan Phillips Fish Camp, which they continue to operate on a year-round basis. Robbie and Linda were extremely gracious hosts who invited us into their home (and main lodge), which is replete with memorabilia extolling the life and times of Pan Phillips. Anyone who has read the numerous books about Pan's life and adventures would relish a visit to the Pan Phillips Fish Camp, as would anyone wishing to avail themselves of the magnificent fishing opportunities afforded by the Blackwater River. The accompanying photo shows (left to right) Linda Phillips, Yvonne Dunn, Robbie Phillips and Dale Dunn with the main lodge in the background.

So comes time to reflect on things that happened in 2013. I'd say it was probably the most eventful year of my life... though oddly enough looking back it's all seem so... unexciting. But I guess that's a good thing! At this point in my life excitement is usually a bad thing :P
Furry-wise, I still managed to get plenty of con-going in. Furry Fiesta, FCN, AC, Condition, WPAFW and MFF. All good times. Even got to visit friends in California, Texas, and Ohio plenty of times in out-of-con settings. Can't complain. I got a new partial fursuit in Sydney and got to dress him up a couple times. Jaggsie got a face makeover thanks to Jill0r. My online activities have pretty much been limited to Twitter and journals. Not a big change. Haven't really done anything significant artistically inna long time. Hard to justify such a use of my free times...
This year saw me finish residency, take my written boards, move, and start a new job. Also made some major purchases in a new car, a house, and the used car I've talked so much about (an orange Hummer H3 in case you're wondering. I know what you're thinking. Its okay no need to say it, I already know... :P )
On one hand I kinda can't believe that much has happened in one year. Doesn't feel like that much has happened or changed... :P
Got to spend plenty of time with my family. Went to Banff, and got to spend my birthday and Thanksgiving home with family. Though I wasn't home for Christmas for the second straight year, I got to have an early one a week early, and for the holiday itself got to spend it with a friend's family... which meant alot to me.
Sadly I get to spend the last day of this year on call in the hospital. Ohhh well. Overall my job has been kind to me, and I can't complain too much.
I think the theme for 2014 will be to get things in order, and to figgure things out. Nothing too exciting, but important. I gotta try to pay off these loans I've acquired in 2013, and hopefully position myself to be able to by my long term home in a few years.
And I have to figgure out where I want my long term home to be. Need to figgure out if this job is the one I want long term. I can say right now the benefits outweigh the negatives... but the main negative is I feel lonely and isolated from friends and family sometimes. Can I go on like this and settle for intermittent visits for the rest of my life? Planning to move a little bit closer to people once this lease runs out, so hopefully that'll help. I at least have a goal in mind for where I think I'd like to live some day. Probably won't figure it all out this year, but I will have to eventually... The rest of one's life is a long time... (well in my case, at least I hope so!)
Hmmmmm, what else do I gotta do. Prepare for and take and pass my oral boards. Also renew my contract with the group, and hopefully become a partner (if I decide that's what I wanna do).
Furry-wise, planning to go to FC, BLFC, new-FCN, AC, and MFF. WPAFW, time permitting. Excited about the new ones I've not been to...
And of course, the usual commitment to stay in touch with my closest friends, and visit friends and family as much as I can. Be the guy that lives far away and visits from time to time...
So... I don't expect anything drastic to change this year. Just keep doing my thing, I guess!

[T-MOBILE] OTA update on rooted Note II
Anyone have any ideas of how to do this without reflashing to stock firmware? I have mine rooted running stock firmware with CWM bootloader, and I'm trying to get it ready for the OTA update on day one. Not sure if that's going to be a possibility, or if I'm going to have to wait for someone to load a root-friendly ZIP.

I get and see so many "myths" that senders don't check on, that in following up, I came upon this fourm, "saw" the constructive input following that initial thread and was impressed, as you can find some forum commentors mean and abusive and on their high horses. So in order to pay props and kudos and how this forum(as I have not read other threads yet)and, at least, that thread conducted itself, I had to register to then be able to say, "Job well done"! everyone. I saw the passing of information, tweaking it so that the end result would be as correct as possible. Have a good day, all.

Amazing Bedroom Furniture and Bedroom Interior Ideas
The bedroom Interior is not only a place for sleeping, but also for having a restful retreat, recharging the batteries, avoiding the daily stress. That's why the bedroom should be turned into an intimate place by adding personal and beautiful decoration details. Positive energy can be gathered from every object in it. The cosy atmosphere will add to the complete calmness and relaxation of the body and soul. In order for the perfect bedroom interior design to be created, the room must be thought of as a personal sacred place.
Bedroom Interior Idea by Valente
The bedroom interior is a place where a complete sense of comfort can be achieved without the use of materials such as silk, cotton, satin and velvet. The bed's point of view is very important. It's advisable to place a painting, a vase with flowers and similar decorative objects, which help us in drifting away into the land of pleasant dreams. The art elements in the bedroom interior affect the psyche. Adding calm and romantic landscapes not only soothes the mind, but also inspires it. With the help of aromatic candles and soft music, you will turn the bedroom interior into an oasis, which can serve as a restful retreat for body and soul alike.
Bedroom Furniture Idea – Floating Bed
The colours in the room and bedroom furniture are of great importance. There is a great variety of warm pastel tones, as well as of natural colours, such as coral, chocolate, cream, raspberry, bordeaux, copper, gold and bronze. White, black, gray and turquoise will all create a magnificent outlook for the room, but they shouldn't predominate entirely, as the room's atmosphere needs to be warm and spacious. That's why warm tones should also be present. This can be made into fruition by a new colourful covering, a lamp, pillows, art works, a carpet, the bedroom furniture or a vase with flowers.
Bedroom Furniture Idea Bora Bed By Team by Wellis
Placing among the bedroom furniture a television set is not appropriate for the bedroom design, as it takes away from the calmness of spirit, which is necessary before going to sleep. Convenience is the main language of every well arranged bedroom furniture. How this language will be translated and interpreted depends only on the inhabitants of the vicinity. To create our own bedroom furniture configuration, we only need to use our inner feeling for detail, which would charge us with positive energy.
B. Angelov
