CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- Sadly, I did not read the Carpet Professor website, which warns against big box stores like Home Depot for carpeting. I had a higher end carpet installed in 2007. I used Home Depot's contractor. Within a week it had wrinkles all over, but I didn't do anything because of the hassle of moving furniture and lack of time. In the process of preparing to sell, I had a stretching company come in. The installation was incompetently done, bent wood nails where there was cement, far more seams than there should have been, and the carpet was delaminating like a zipper.
Note that the Home Depot warranty for delamination: ONE YEAR. Yup, and because I used Home Depot's installers, they of COURSE would not mention if they were installing old, delaminating carpet to begin with. So why two stars and not one? Because when I called Home Depot with this, they always promptly responded and were courteous right up to the point where I learned how poor the warranty was. So...kudos for customer service, but a big STEER CLEAR based on product and services.
WHISTLER -- Ordered carpet and underlay from Home Depot (for 6 rooms). Paid for it and booked the install for 3 weeks later. Two days before the install got a phone call that the carpet wasn't ordered and wouldn't be available for two months. Went to Home Depot and told "well nothing we can do - pick another carpet or we will give you a refund."
Picked another carpet that we "could live with" then told 4 days later that the carpet missed the shipment and it won't be here in time for when our renter moves in on Dec. 15th. Managers now won't return phone calls. Now told "well you can choose another carpet." Called rapid install which is garbage or we can get our money returned. Thanks a lot Home Depot!!!
AVON, COLORADO -- I went to Home Depot early in July to order some carpet (because it is the only supplier in the area). After waiting nearly 45 minutes for a representative to assist me at the carpet counter, I got my quote scheduled for someone to come out and measure. You would think that something as simple as coming on the right day for the measurement would be an easy task, but they showed up on the wrong day when I was at work, so therefore they were unable to get in the house. Delaying the measurement until another day when we could reschedule.
We finally settled on a day when I could get them in the house (that we were not yet living in at the time) to measure, and I told them to call me when they got there so I could be sure that they got the correct rooms measured. Of course they did not, and I received a quote for $500 dollars over what they had initially estimated. I reviewed the measure, and found that they had added on an additional room DOWNSTAIRS, when I specifically told them that it was only the upstairs that I wanted carpeted. Normally, I would be shocked by the quote, but after seeing how shady Home Depot is with the quotes and estimates, I kind of expected it.
After straightening things out, we finally ordered the carpet and they told me it would be a few weeks until the carpet arrived. They then send you off to some company called Home Solutions that takes care of the install. You have a better chance of getting hit with lightning than you do getting a hold of these people on the phone. 6 WEEKS LATER, they call and tell me that the carpet had arrived and we were ready to set up an install date. We decide on a date and then they told me they would call the day before to specify an exact time.
After calling them and leaving several voice mails the day before to try to figure out when these yahoos were coming, it climaxed with 0 success... leaving me to wonder if they were actually going to come or not. The next day, which I had requested off from work (day of supposed install), I call several more times in the morning to try to figure out when these mystery men were coming to lay my carpet. NO ANSWER ALL DAY LONG. They finally called the next day to apologize on their techs calling in, and we proceed to set up another install date.
At this point, I would've gladly taken my service elsewhere, but we live in a remote mountain area with good ole' Home Depot being our only option. Anyways, we set up another install day, which I can't make, but my dear wife who had just had a baby was able to get off work in order to be there. Two days of missed work out of our budget to try to accommodate these people to lay our darn carpet that we paid plenty of money for. Well, wouldn't you know it, the same issue of not being able to get a hold of anybody to figure out when the hell they were coming to our house.
The day of rescheduled install, we've finally got a call from one of the techs saying they wouldn't be there until the afternoon now. Perfect. Wife has an appointment for our infant son to get to, so I leave work early to get to the house to let them in. More money gone. The installers work until late that night, and you think at this point, with the steam coming out of my ears from this whole ordeal that they would be sure to clean up well. They left all of their scraps and the giant leftover pad that I now have to take to the dump and spend more money on.
WOW Home Depot, I hope you're proud of your customer service and glad to know that I will never be coming back to you stores anywhere in the country as for the rest of my friends and family. I will deliberately drive 50 miles out of my way just to make it to another store where they will actually appreciate us as customers. For anybody out there trying to decide if Home Depot is the right place for you for your install, say NO, just like you'd say no to drugs. Run away as fast as you can. I am not the only one with this same heartbreak. I have had friends and family from other store locations with the same problems. Hope this helps!!!
STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA -- My husband and I went by Home Depot last weekend and spoke with Dan **, flooring specialist about replacing the carpet. While Dan assist us, I asked if Home Depot would replace the carpet only since the pad is still in good condition. Dan stated whatever we need. So, of course I picked out the carpet, scheduled measurement, and paid the $50.00.
After the measurement, I called the Home Depot flooring department to get the quote price and was told the pad must be included. When I try to explain that I have never agreed to the pad, but the carpet. I was turned down due to their policy. I was pissed! How can Dan tell me it was okay and now the store manager confirmed that it must be done with pad and carpet for the installation to take place.
This was one of the reason why I did not select the flooring pad thickness (and only the carpet) because I honestly thought carpet was the only thing I will replace. Yes, it was very disappointed! Dan stated he worked for numinous of years in the flooring department at E. Hammer Lane... Only to give me incorrect information! I even got the chance to speak with Dan when he called and I make sure he got my two cents for not accepting the fact that he was at wrong. I hope he learned his lesson.
Wish I could of recorded the conversation as proof during the visit with Dan. Unfortunately, I did not so it was he said and she said. Due to our deadline, we must go with Home Depot. I hope this is the end of our bad experience with Home Depot. I wish Home Depot would improve on their investigation and give customer a chance to be right, too. In this case, we believed he was covering it up to protect his job. "You can do it. We can help" part of their mission, will I have to say this is not true. After everything, I did apologized to the store manager for being frustrated and I hope to receive a better experience the next time around.
WASHINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA -- I am a contractor whose customer purchased carpet through Home Depot. The workmanship was terrible. Every seam on the job can be seen along with many other mistakes. They used Mexicans to install who couldn't speak English.
They arrived in a van that was out of inspection for over a year. They used the bathroom every time they were in the house without asking. The first time the water wasn't turned on in the house yet. We have been lied to and pushed to one person to the other with no help in fixing the problems. I have had a expert look at the job and he said "these seams cannot be fixed." Don't buy carpet from Home Depot.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA -- After 18 months of having my carpet installed by Home Depot it looks like it's 20 years old. I supposedly purchased the higher end quality with a written warranty. After filling a warranty claim after multiple phone calls, e-mails, they simply will not honor the warranty. From the get go they started looking for excuses. Why not to honor my warranty: First they suggested the installer was to blame. Secondly they suggested that maybe a carpet cleaner, pets (which I do not own) and so on..... I felt insult to injury by the protocol they have in place on how not to honor their written warranty. Save yourself time and money. Avoid the Home Depot,
LOUISVILLE, COLORADO -- Tip: Before you decide to purchase a new carpet, just pinch a few strands of the carpet sample between your thumb and forefinger and pull. If you pull out some fuzz, you may want to keep on looking. This little test would have saved us a lot of headache...
We purchased 124 square yards of Mohawk carpet from the Home Depot store (Louisville, CO). Our problem is that it fuzzed terribly. We later found out that it was made with polyester or PET fibers, and not the normal nylon fiber construction. It was from their "special purchase" display. The sales person indicated that it was just as good as their other carpet on display, but it was discounted due to the large volume that Home Depot purchases. They failed to mention the shedding problem. We nearly trashed our new Oreck vacuum trying to remove the fuzz. Then we bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner and vacuumed another dozen times.
I understand that some fuzz is perfectly normal, but this carpet just keeps shedding massive amounts! The customer service at Home Depot has been dismal. First there was a week of delays while they had to talk with different store managers, who seemed to always be away in training class. Next, they told us that we had to keep the carpet installed for three months before the carpet manufacturer would come out to look at it. What a bunch of run around. They have yet to respond in any way to indicate that that customer satisfaction matters to them.
Even after constant vacuuming, if I kneel or sit on the floor while wearing dress clothes, they get covered with hundreds of tiny micro fibers. This sure seems like a potential serious health hazard. We certainly do not want our children inhaling these fibers while playing on the carpet. The quality of this carpet is awful! It looks like we will probably have to go to a real flooring or carpet store to purchase a carpet that does not shed constantly. Unfortunately, we learned an expensive lesson.
Don't expect to go to a big box store like Home Depot to be educated on anything. Their flooring specialists are not properly trained - even on their own products see updates. Update #1: After submitting our frustrating experience on my3cents, we promptly received an email from Home Depot consumer affairs stating that they would look into the issue. Later my wife received a phone call asking for more information. She was informed that they would contact the local store to see what they could do to deal with this problem. We were very impressed with the fast response from Home Depot corporate!
But, since then, over a week has passed by and still no response from the Louisville CO store. The breakdown in communication seems to be with the Home Depot local store manager. He has failed to return any of our calls as well. Update #2: Since our local Louisville, CO Home Depot Store manager seems to have decided not to respond to us at all. (No reply to phone messages, no "sorry we can't help you letter", nothing.) We went ahead and purchased 124 square yards of new carpet and had it installed. To add insult to our already sad Home Depot carpet experience, we had to pay someone to have Home Depot's lousy carpet removed!
We purchased our new carpet at The Carpet Exchange. The Carpet Exchange sales person was very helpful and very well trained. The new carpet was only slightly more expensive than Home Depot's "special run" carpet. And instead of having to wait several weeks for delivery, they installed it three days later! The real test was when we vacuumed the new carpet from Carpet Exchange. Once over cleaned up all of the cuttings from the carpet installation. The second pass was basically clean, no fuzz, no clogged vacuum cleaner. Now this is how a new carpet should be! We now feel that it is safe to let our kids play on this carpet.
Needless to say, we are very disappointed with our Home Depot's lack of concern for customer satisfaction regarding this issue. We like the selection of materials at Home Depot. We have purchased nearly all of our remodeling and basement finishing materials through them. The Home Depot used to be our first stop for all of our project materials. Until now, we have never had to test their customer service. Sadly, now that we have experienced first hand that Home Depot will not stand behind their product, we will look elsewhere for any future major purchases.
Update #3: We recently received a settlement letter from Home Depot Corporate. They basically offered a 50% refund on the carpet only portion of the invoice. We feel that this is reasonable and we will be accepting this settlement. To be perfectly honest, we would have been satisfied with less monetary compensation, if our Local Home Depot store management would have demonstrated any concern at all about customer satisfaction with regard to this issue. Even with this settlement agreement, it will take a long time before we feel the same enjoyment as we used to when walking into a Home Depot store.
Update #4: Well it's been a month since we faxed in the signed agreement. We have not heard a word from Home Depot corporate. We are starting to wonder if they are going to follow through at all. Update #5: We tried to call the Home Depot "Resolution Specialist" who signed the Release Agreement that was sent to us. He does not answer the phone or return any of our calls. All we are asking in our phone message is for an update on the status of this Agreement. It doesn't seem like this is an unreasonable request.
We did our part and signed the agreement, faxed it and mailed it, but have had no response from Home Depot's Resolution Specialist for over 2 months! It seems that Home Depot is truly not serious about customer satisfaction. It sure makes me wonder what their motive was for sending us this agreement in the first place.
Final Update: Well, Home Depot did finally come through and honor their settlement agreement. We have taken the check to the bank and are waiting for it to clear. As soon as their check clears, we will consider this issue resolved and closed. Home Depot customer relations sent us a gift card today. I consider this a very smart move on their part to get us to start going back into their store! Thanks!
Settlement agreement offered and refund received by customer.
ALBANY, NEW YORK -- I was very excited to have my carpet installed by Home Depot today. Waiting for this day for a long time. I asked in the $30.00 pre-installation measuring that was done weeks before that I had bought cork board. I wanted to go down first before the padding and carpet as it is just a concrete slab for a foundation. Being as I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis I physically can't do it myself. I WAS ASSURED BY THE PERSON DOING THE ESTIMATE THAT "IT WOULD BE DONE NO PROBLEM".
Well when the installers finally came they inspected the area they were going to put down carpet in and I told them where the cork board was to put down. They had no idea what I was talking about and told me it wasn't on the work order they had. They got their manager on the phone and he told me that they will not install the cork board. It will void the warranty. They dropped off the carpet and padding into my garage and told me to call and schedule another installation date when the cork board is down. I have no idea who to call to put down the cork board. I would like suggestions please.
ST.AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA -- We bought carpet from Home Depot. Rooms were measured and carpet was ordered. First it was due in about two weeks. Then it was another week or so. After almost a month the carpet had arrived but the installers said H.D. did not order enough so we waited another week or so for the rest of our carpet to arrive. We were instructed to schedule installers which was another week. My husband moved one room of furniture to save $50.00.
We were Emailed a picture of our installer who was black but two very disgruntled white guys showed up and informed us they did not have enough carpet so H.D. told them to just piece it. When the carpet they had was unrolled it was dirty! So we are back to square 1. We are looking at wood floors now. And not at H.D.
PORT CHESTER, NEW YORK -- DO NOT BUY HOME DEPOT CARPET!!! I purchased 2 years ago Martha Stewart Living Mount Vernon Carpet (for $6,000). After 6 months it looked like it had been in the house for 20 years (note we do not allow shoes in the house, or eating outside the kitchen). We have spent the last 2 years trying to get Home Depot to make it right. They sent 2 inspectors from the manufacturer to look at it (a little self serving, don't you think?). They also sent the assistant manager of the store who agreed with us and told us "we buy a lot of carpet from Shaw, we will make this right". It looked old, stained, and worn. They did not make it right.
The "warranty" is useless. They do not honor it. All I can do is warn you to buy carpet from a reputable place who will stand behind their sales. Do not use HOME DEPOT. They do not care about its customer. From Home Depot's website, the carpet " guarantees long lasting performance with 20 year abrasive wear and texture warranties as well as a lifetime stain and soil warranty". This is a joke! Good luck collecting on this warranty.

Good write up...........although not too sure about him saying "Scotland went from having one of the healthiest MMA scenes outside America".............really.
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
Hopefully both are back to stay, both put on some great cards over the last few years.
Will i post this?
It is with our upmost disappointment that we have to announce that we are having to cancel the event on Saturday due to the authorities not allowing the event to go ahead.
We are extremely gutted about this and have spent so much time and money on this event. We really feel for the people that will be let down such as the fighters, coaches, fans, sponsors, staff etc who have all invested time and money into this event to no avail.
Please direct any queries to the person you have been dealing with and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
We will give you's more of an update soon.
The above is a post from On Top Promotions facebook page, looks like the show has been cancelled for a second time only two days before it was due to take place.
Sad news, hope everything works out for On Top.
Gutted. Our boy Josh Collins was already up there and booked into his hotel cutting weight and what not. Shitty situation. That would have been a great fight. Not the first time for On Top - hopefully they can get over these problems because I know they work hard to put on a great show but these issues are really messing them up.
Yeah shitty situation for everyone involved, especially fighters in the middle of a weight cut.
Apparently the reason was because On Top had an entertainment licence and not a sports licence.
Just to clear a few things up:
Its the venue that requires the Entertainment licence and not us and that is all you need as MMA is not governed in the UK and not a recognised "sport" in any of the sports councils throughout the UK.
Police Scotland released a statement saying the following: "We didn't cancel this event. The Hilton cancelled it following discussions with Police Scotland regarding their licence."
We are trying to ascertain what "discussions" there were as we were only aware of the confusion between the Police and Hilton regarding whether or not they deemed MMA be be a sport. We provided supporting proof to them in plenty of time yet it was still cancelled.
The same venue have hosted MMA events in the past.
On Top Lawyers are on the case...

Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne shares admiration for Tony Iommi
Listen to Black Sabbath on iHeartRadio
Ozzy Osbourne says he's impressed with the way guitarist Tony Iommi has handled his cancer battle.
The Black Sabbath frontman tells the Toronto Sun he'd never known anybody who survived the disease until his wife Sharon, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002. Ozzy admits that to him "cancer means death," but Iommi "just accepts it and gets on with it."
The singer adds that he admires Tony for his guitar skills as well. He says it's "amazing" how Iommi can play with prosthetic fingertips. Iommi lost the tips of two fingers as a teenager working in a factory.
Black Sabbath is currently on tour in Canada. The band is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles on April 26th.

Haldia Overview
You can reach Haldia from Chandigarh by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.
Haldia is a developing port city in Southwest Bengal in India. Due to the decrease in water level, the old Calcutta port was unable to ensure the entry of the larger ships in to its dock. The cost of rehandling the materials in to smaller ships sharply increases the cost of import-export for the traders of Eastern India. Similarly, for trading with the Eastern countries like Japan, China India needs a good port in the eastern region apart from Vishakhapatnam. So, Haldia port was decided to establish on the bank of river Haldi but very close to Bay of Bengal. If you are looking for car rental Haldia let us know and we will be happy to provide you with best budgeted deals for . Book cabs in Haldia

Natura Nectar's History Brazil Shares its Natural Miracles with the World:The beginnings of NaturaNectar and PhenolicFactory were conceived at the turn of the century when a visionary Brazilian entrepreneur began work with Apiary ALMAR in the scenic northeast coast of Brazil. His work greatly impacted how the world would see a unique and intriguing new type of Brazilian bee propolis. Inspiration and Results:Motivated by a strong desire to add significance to his life, this visionary Brazilian businessman partnered with top scientists from University of São Paulo, Brazil to ultimately discover a new type of propolis. This propolis would later become the foundation of this enterprise and one of the most promising natural substances ever investigated by science. Add Decades of Experience to Create a Perfect Combination:The Brazilian innovator crossed paths with a Brazilian-American Harvard graduate who had conquered the business world through Corporate America but also longed for an opportunity to make a positive difference in our world. A Common Purpose Found:It didn't take long for these men from different backgrounds to meet on common ground and combine their desire to add some significance to their lives and careers. The result is an enterprise that goes well beyond business as usual! NaturaNectar today already reflects the fruits of this labor of love!

I really like the Steelers picks. Would like a pass rusher somewhere but I wouldn't have a complaint with those guys. Te'o is a very good pick. I love Lacy in the second with Mendenhall likely leaving and Redman and Dwyer not being able to seize the starting job. Rambo is a ballhawk needed in the secondary.
Thanks to UniversalAuthor for the Sidney Crosby sig

Thanks, I plan on adding rounds 4-7 soon and think there will be some pass rushers available later on, appreciate the feedback

The Banks pick is fine.
I really like Randle. Just not for the Colts, who don't need a RB.

Joeckel is an awful pick. We have a very good LT in Albert and if we allow him to leave via free agency and then we draft his replacement in Joeckel how have he improved as a team? We haven't at all, we just made a lateral move that didn't help us whatsoever.

So not a fan of the Rams draft. Cooper at #16? DeCastro who was projected much higher was taken much later then that. Do the Rams need interior offensive line help, absolutely? Do they need to reach on a guard not named Warmack at our earlier 1st rounder? No.
Also, not a fan of Patterson when T.Williams still on the board. We don't need another project at WR (Quick).
Welcome to the LA Rams
Gerald Everett, TE
Cooper Kupp, WR
John Johnson, S/CB

DE isn't a first round need at the moment. Michael Johnson will be tagged if he isn't locked up. Outside of that we have the supremely talented Dunlap on the left side. We will likely resign backup Wallace Gilberry also who has been pretty impressive all season. The Bengals will look to go LB, S, RB and maybe RT if Andre Smith hits the open market early in the draft.
[quote="YoursTruly"]He doesn't get the ball because he is shut down. Zero seperation. It is my understanding that Elite WR should be able to do this when their number is called. AJ gets shut down relatively easy.[/quote]

the bengals wont draft a LB in the first round. the bengals draft was perfect the way you had it, you messed it up. they'll take a S, WR, TE, or DE in the first.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College (0-12, 0-6 SAC) women's lacrosse team hosted conference leader Queens University of Charlotte (11-4, 6-0 SAC) during their last home game of the season at the Tornados Lacrosse Field. The Saturday, April 12, afternoon game resulted in a 21-3 loss for the Brevard team.
The Royals took an early lead off of the Tornados after winning six of the eight draw controls. Angela Canale answered back to a Queens goal after picking up the ball for a BC possession at the 21:20 mark. Canale passed it up to teammate Heather Morris for a give and go to the cage resulting in Canale's first career goal at the 21:00 minute mark of the first half. Queens continued to go on a six goal run to end the half at 11-1.
Queens University was led by Jena Ready after she contributed five goals along with teammate Megan Wagner with a contribution of four.
Brevard spread out the team's three goals amongst three individuals including Canale and teammates Jamila Brown and Julia Gasston.
Goalkeeper, Melissa Harris for BC, faced 52 total shots against the Royals and saved 20 while in the cage.
Brevard will travel for their final game of the season against Chowan University this Wednesday, April 16 at 4:00 pm in Murfreesboro, N.C.

Sundar, you don't like New Order? wow... it's like i don't even know you!
i missed voting, but it would have been DM, NO, almost neck and neck for a while, but at the end, DM takes it easily when i think about which has affected me most. PSB distant 3rd. if the Cure had been in this poll also, they would have been riding right on NO's ass.
― Kim, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:38 (nine years ago) Permalink
Just to annoy the goth even more, I venture that:
New Order > PSB > Human League > Depeche Mode
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:44 (nine years ago) Permalink
That's how I'd order those bands, FWIW.
― Neil S, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:45 (nine years ago) Permalink
I guess Erasure could have been another option, but they'd probably have come a distant fourth.
xpost bah pshaw. Human League don't have the career longevity.
― ledge, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:45 (nine years ago) Permalink
we need a similar poll involving the cure.
xpost: which version of the human league?
NO > DM > dare-era human league > PSBs > human league post-dare
human league mk I >>> almost everything else in the world. new order being one of the exceptions, mind.
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:47 (nine years ago) Permalink
(i know, i know: we didn't break down NO or DM into versions either. but with the HL there's a spectacular and staggering divide, along the lines of JD/NO, so i think it's valid.)
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:48 (nine years ago) Permalink
(in fact: dare-era HL are more different to pre-dare HL than JD are to early NO.)
(i'll stop now.)

I love New Order, PSB, Depeche Mode, Human League, and Erasure and I don't care how you order them.

I thought we'd established that liking Depeche Mode is an American thing?

Or non-British at any rate
― Tom D., Tuesday, 6 November 2007 16:59 (nine years ago) Permalink
no, we hadn't. because it isn't.
that said: it is less "cool" to like DM in the UK than it is ... well, almost anywhere else. funny ... i was pondering this (no, really) in the gym this morning, listening to "playing the angel". i read somewhere, ages ago, that the reason for this was martin gore looking like such a knobber in his leather vest etc, but i can't believe this is the case.
hey ho. i've always loved 'em. in 1991 i had a massive poster of them (circa some great reward) on my bedroom wall. my friend shumon, probably the coolest man i've ever known, always thought they were cool. so i've been out and proud about them for years ;)

that said: it is less "cool" to like DM in the UK than it is ... well, almost anywhere else.
That's exactly what I mean. I think a lot of people in the UK thought they (Depeche Mode that is) were trying far too hard to come over all rawwwwwwwwwwwwwk 'n' roll with the leather trousers and the heroin and the whatnot when they stil considered them a nancyboy plinky-plonky synth band

A lot of people in the UK have cloth in their ears.

Depeche Mode were at their best as a nancyboy plinky-plonky synth band. Fantastic!

Nancyboy plinky-plonky synth bands have always been more popular in the UK than leather-trousering smacked-up pseudo-rockers

actually, you've cracked it: it's the KNOW YOUR PLACE mentality, innit?

A bit... also that wearing leather trousers and trying to be Jim Morrison was crap even when Jim Morrison did it
― Tom D., Tuesday, 6 November 2007 17:44 (nine years ago) Permalink
thing is, when i'd left school and was working for the DSS, i had hair, beard and leather trousers exactly like SOFAD-era dave gahan. i never got round to the tattoos, although i keep thinking about fixing that ;)

"Is pipecock 15-years-old?
"Probably 45.
if you average your two guesses, youd be pretty close.
"And very very lonely.

it certainly depends on your definition of lonely. being married and having a kid and a cat could be lonely i guess, but not for me.

What's wrong with a nancyboy plinky-plonky synthband?
I mean, the same question should be applied to DM members themselves (AND Flood!!!!!!) in 1993 too, but, still....

NEW ORDER!!! Depeche Mode second, but only if you stop before late 80s.

OWASP JSON Sanitizer
What does this OWASP project offer you?
What releases are available for this project?
Given JSON-like content, converts it to valid JSON.
This can be attached at either end of a data-pipeline to help satisfy Postel's principle:
be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others Applied to JSON-like content from others, it will produce well-formed JSON that should satisfy any parser you use.
Applied to your output before you send, it will coerce minor mistakes in encoding and make it easier to embed your JSON in HTML and XML.
Many applications have large amounts of code that uses ad-hoc methods to generate JSON outputs. Frequently these outputs all pass through a small amount of framework code before being sent over the network. This small amount of framework code can use this library to make sure that the ad-hoc outputs are standards compliant and safe to pass to (overly) powerful deserializers like Javascript's eval operator.
Applications also often have web service APIs that receive JSON from a variety of sources. When this JSON is created using ad-hoc methods, this library can massage it into a form that is easy to parse.
By hooking this library into the code that sends and receives requests and responses, this library can help software architects ensure system-wide security and well-formedness guarantees.
The sanitizer takes JSON like content, and interprets it as JS eval would. Specifically, it deals with these non-standard constructs.
|Single quoted strings are converted to JSON strings.
|Hex escapes are converted to JSON unicode escapes.
|Octal escapes are converted to JSON unicode escapes.
|Hex integer literals are converted to JSON decimal numbers.
|Octal integer literals are converted to JSON decimal numbers.
|Decimal numbers are coerced to JSON's stricter format.
|Elisions in arrays are filled with null.
|Trailing commas are removed.
|Unquoted property names are quoted.
|JS style line and block comments are removed.
|Grouping parentheses are removed.
The sanitizer fixes missing punctuation, end quotes, and mismatched or missing close brackets. If an input contains only white-space then the valid JSON string null is substituted.
The output is well-formed JSON as defined by RFC 4627. The output satisfies three additional properties:
- The output will not contain the substring (case-insensitively) "</script" so can be embedded inside an HTML script element without further encoding.
- The output will not contain the substring "]]>" so can be embedded inside an XML CDATA section without further encoding.
- The output is a valid Javascript expression, so can be parsed by Javascript's eval builtin (after being wrapped in parentheses) or by JSON.parse. Specifically, the output will not contain any string literals with embedded JS newlines (U+2028 Paragraph separator or U+2029 Line separator).
- The output contains only valid Unicode scalar values (no isolated UTF-16 surrogates) that are allowed in XML unescaped.
Since the output is well-formed JSON, passing it to eval will have no side-effects and no free variables, so is neither a code-injection vector, nor a vector for exfiltration of secrets.
This library only ensures that the JSON string → Javascript object phase has no side effects and resolves no free variables, and cannot control how other client side code later interprets the resulting Javascript object. So if client-side code takes a part of the parsed data that is controlled by an attacker and passes it back through a powerful interpreter like eval or innerHTML then that client-side code might suffer unintended side-effects.
The sanitize method will return the input string without allocating a new buffer when the input is already valid JSON that satisfies the properties above. Thus, if used on input that is usually well formed, it has minimal memory overhead.
The sanitize method takes O(n) time where n is the length in UTF-16 code-units.

The Wright State women's soccer team improved to 2-0 on the young season with a 3-0 decision over Mount Vernon Nazarene Monday night at Alumni Field.
Senior Emilie Fillion opened the scoring for the Raiders as she gathered in a rebound in the middle of the box and connected on her second goal of the season at the 22:54 mark of the first half. Freshman Kalee Thompson recorded the assist, her second of the year.
Junior Emily Reddington then made it 2-0 with her first goal of the year at the 42:19 mark of the opening period, with sophomore Michelle Rick posting her first assist.
Freshman Ini Umotong then rounded out the scoring with her first collegiate goal at the 63:48 mark of the second half, with Fillion tallying her first assist of the season.
Defensively, goalkeepers Brooke McCurdy, Kelsey Deal and Alex Hoferkamp combined to post the shutout as WSU allowed the Cougars to attempt just two shots on the night.
The Raider offense, meanwhile, took 28 shots for the match, with freshman Lucy Quinn attempting six and Fillion and Umotong four each.
Wright State (2-0) now heads to Boulder, Colorado, this weekend for the Omni Hotels Colorado Classic, facing Denver on Friday, August 24, at 3:30 Eastern followed by host Colorado on Sunday, August 26, also at 3:30 Dayton time.

Bell's palsyFacial palsy; Idiopathic peripheral facial palsy; Cranial mononeuropathy
Bell's palsy is a disorder of the nerve that controls movement of the muscles in the face. This nerve is called the facial or 7th cranial nerve.
Damage to this nerve causes weakness or paralysis of these muscles. Paralysis means that you cannot use the muscles at all.
Bell's palsy affects about 30,000 - 40,000 people a year in the United States.
Bell's palsy involves damage to the seventh cranial (facial) nerve. This nerve controls the movement of the muscles of the face.
Bell's palsy is thought to be due to swelling (inflammation) of this nerve in the area where it travels through the bones of the skull.
The cause is often not clear. A type of herpes infection called herpes zoster might be involved. Other conditions that may cause Bell's palsy include:
Sometimes you may have a cold shortly before the symptoms of Bell's palsy begin.
Symptoms most often start suddenly, but may take 2 - 3 days to show up. They do not become more severe after that.
Symptoms are almost always on one side of the face only. They may range from mild to severe.
The face will feel stiff or pulled to one side, and may look different. Other symptoms can include:
- Difficulty closing one eye
- Difficulty eating and drinking; food falls out of one side of the mouth
- Drooling due to lack of control over the muscles of the face
- Drooping of the face, such as the eyelid or corner of the mouth
- Problems smiling, grimacing, or making facial expressions
- Twitching or weakness of the muscles in the face
Other symptoms that may occur:
- Dry eye, which may lead to eye sores or infections
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Loss of sense of taste
- Sound that is louder in one ear (hyperacusis)
- Twitching in face
Exams and Tests
Often, Bell's palsy can be diagnosed just by taking a health history and doing a complete physical exam.
If your health care provider is worried that a brain tumor is causing your symptoms, you may need:
Sometimes, you will need a test to check the nerves that supply the muscles of your face:
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Nerve conduction test
Often, no treatment is needed. Symptoms often begin to improve right away. However, it may take weeks or even months for the muscles to get stronger, and this may be frustrating.
Your health care provider may give you lubricating eye drops or eye ointments to keep the surface of the eye moist if you cannot close it completely. You may need to wear an eye patch while you sleep.
Sometimes medicines may be used, but it is not clear how much they help. If medicines are used, they should be started right away.
- Corticosteroids may reduce swelling around the facial nerve
- Medications can fight the virus that may be causing Bell's palsy
Surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve (decompression surgery) has not been shown to benefit most people with Bell's palsy.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most cases go away completely within a few weeks to months.
If you did not lose all of your nerve function and symptoms began to improve within 3 weeks, you're more likely to regain all or most of the strength in your facial muscles.
Sometimes, the following symptoms still may be present:
- Long-term changes in taste
- Spasms of muscles or eyelids
- Weakness that remains in facial muscles
Possible Complications
Excess drying of the eye surface, leading to eyesores or infections.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider right away if your face droops or you have other symptoms of Bell's palsy. Your health care provider can rule out other, more serious conditions, such as stroke.
There is no known way to prevent Bell's palsy.

USGS Western Ecological Research Center
Scientists at the USGS Western Ecological Research Center study the many ecosystems
of the Pacific Southwest. Follow our expeditions and projects through this outreach page, and learn
more about your local landscape with our library of Outreach Factsheets and photos. Thanks for joining us!
We've seen many photos of gray and dusty-looking tortoises in the media over the last two days, as a result of the newly announced tortoise species. But check out this photo taken by biologist Cecil Schwalbe of the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center, one of our sister offices:
This is a tortoise from the Sonoran Desert -- the population now recognized as its own species, Gopherus morafkai. Dashes of sienna and orange sets it visually apart from typical photos of adult desert tortoises.
Kristin Berry, a tortoise biologist at the USGS Western Ecological Research Center and coauthor on the new tortoise species study, says that this coloration is a good example of the Morafka's tortoise. "This coloration becomes more distinct in Morafka's tortoises further south in the Sonoran Desert into Mexico," says Berry.
The explanation for the differences in coloration within the geographic range of Morafka's tortoises remains to be determined. Berry says some possibilities include genetics or possibly mineral uptake via diet.
For a comparison, have a look at an Agassiz's desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) -- the species which Morafka's desert tortoises were previously grouped with. This individual from Nevada shows the more uniform gray-beige we picture desert tortoises as having:
The photo is taken by Ken Nussear, another USGS tortoise specialist. Along with Todd Esque, Nussear, Berry, Schwalbe and other USGS scientists are conducting desert ecology research in America's southwest, providing independent scientific data to inform resource management offices in federal, military, state and local branches of government.

A man's body was found behind a restaurant near La Paz Drive Thursday morning and sheriff's authorities are calling the death suspicious.
The unidentified man's body was found around 7 a.m. behind the International House of Pancakes in the 17400 block of La Paz Drive, officials said.
Deputies believed the death appeared suspicious and called in the San Bernardino County sheriff's Homicide Detail to investigation.
Neither the manner of death or the victim's identity have been released.
There were reports the man may have been one of the local homeless who frequent the area, but that was not immediately confirmed by authorities.

Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell's guitar-pickin' talent, dimpled chin and blue-eyed good looks made him a star of both country music and mainstream pop in the 1960s. Glen Campbell was a hotshot Los Angeles session guitarist early in the decade, making a name for himself while playing behind headliners like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys. The 1967 single "Gentle On My Mind" made Campbell a bona fide solo star, and he followed up with a ranchful of hit tunes including "Wichita Linesman," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Galveston." In 1969 he made the leap to television as host of The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. The same year he took a turn as a dandified Texas Ranger opposite John Wayne in True Grit, in what was by far the most prominent movie role of his career. The Goodtime Hour ran until 1972, and Campbell had hits with "Rhinestone Cowboy" in 1975 and "Southern Nights" in 1977. His autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy, was published in 1994. Campbell released Meet Glen Campbell in 2008, an album made up of covers of rock songs. As he was about to release another album in 2011, Ghost on the Canvas, he announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and would do one last farewell tour. He also made a triumphant appearance singing "Rhinestone Cowboy" on the Grammy Awards telecast in February 2012.
Glen Campbell was one of 12 children… Actor/directors Steve Martin and Rob Reiner were writers for the Goodtime Hour… Glen Campbell had a highly public romantic affair with country singer Tanya Tucker in the 1980s… He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and assaulting an officer after a hit-and-run incident in 2003; his unflattering mug shot was widely distributed online… Glen Campbell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

With all the new faces around, it's understandable that not everyone on the Utah State basketball team remembers last year's loss in Ogden.
Coach Stew Morrill certainly does, and he remembers how Weber State set the nets on fire with 12 3-pointers, including seven from Scott Bamforth.
"The question is whether we're ready to defend the three better or not," Morrill says. "They push it hard on the break. Scott Bamforth, if you look at that game last year … they blew it open by outshooting us from deep."
Damian Lillard is gone to the NBA, but Bamforth will be back, and the Wildcats will be looking for another victory, this time in Logan. And if the Aggies hope to win their 27th straight in-state match-up at the Spectrum on Saturday night, they'll have to defend the perimeter.
That particular area of defense should be concerning for Utah State. In only three games, the Aggies have let up 25 shots from long range, and they're dead last in 3-point defense when stacked up against other Western Athletic Conference teams.
Part of the issue is that Utah State was concerned about defending other threats in those games, particularly against Saint Mary's (Calif.). But Weber State shoots nearly 49 percent from beyond the arc, so it's likely they'll be looking to launch it often from deep.
"We're looking to get them back," forward Danny Berger says. "They loaded up last year on us, and we know they've got shooters. We just have to defend the 3-point line better than we have."
That will include Bamforth as well as transfer Davion Berry, a childhood friend of Lillard who has led the team in scoring in both of its games. Keeping a rebounding edge Utah State is averaging 14 more boards per game than its opponents - should be key to the win as well, to prevent the Wildcats from getting second chances.
But Utah State is also looking to fire up its deep threats to help counter Weber's top scorers. So far, the long ball hasn't been much of a factor in the Aggies favor, as the team has made only 31.7 percent of its attempts.
Preston Medlin, who leads the team with five 3-pointers, expects that number to go up as the team starts to find a better offensive groove. Despite the holiday week, the Aggies felt good about some crisp practices they hope will translate to a more complete performance on Saturday.
"One of the best things has been our big guys and how they've been finishing," Medlin says. Hopefully that will continue and our shots will start falling. It's just about getting some open shots and some confidence."

text: What musings I have read by Peony Yip – aka The White Deer – express her true passion for drawing, something she has pursued, as she says, because it is the only thing she knows. The Hong Kong native of only 21 honestly asserts that she is no professional artist, instead describing herself as just a recent college graduate, broke, and looking to freelance a bit. Of course, the young woman can claim what she would like, but I think her talent is undeniable. Amateur or not, I have been loving her varied works. Take a look at some of her creations here, and maybe show this up-and-coming artist a bit of love after the jump.

Trillin boomed from the crowd, as the questions wound down, referring to Ephron's chapter on the notoriously difficult Hellman.
Hellman's dishonesty in her later writing is sympathetically framed by the decades of criticism she had endured.
Apparently he was unaware that Officer Hellman has admitted doing exactly that.
By 1936 Hellman was rewarded an astonishing $2,500 per week in a 10-week contract—a hack screenwriter earned $50.
Hellman smiled, picked up the razor and examined its edge critically.
Hellman, in time, succeeded this company and continued for himself.
"I guess we'll have to assume that their meat is our poison," Hellman said thoughtfully.
I have told of the establishing of Hellman, Temple & Company as bankers.
"This planet must be abandoned," Hellman said almost in a whisper.
"If you'd like to give up your share—" Hellman started to suggest.
