Yeah, we had a power outage that required the site to be restored from backup, and for some reason, the backup was a few months old. So I had to re-create a few things we had added since the backup; we should be all back up to date now.

Is this agreement related to the NASA funded research program?
Or am I confusing things here?
BTAIM, I do congratulate Armadillo Aerospace on its plans
within the next two months to launch two flights
upto nine miles altitude above Oklahoma.
(That's above 90% of the earth's atmosphere if I'm not mistaken;
good altitude to test maneuvering thrusters and gas-jets).
And, if I'm not mistaken, AA is planning to carry out a third
launch and flight under NASA's sponsorship, early next year,
upto an altitude of 25 miles above NM.
As far as I'm concerned, 25 miles up is within the boundary region to outer
space. A good place to test all the systems in your rocket-propelled craft.
Congratulations! AA is about to turn a major corner in its ambitious program.

The Seahawks
I think it's fair to say that if this weekend's NFC Championship Game was to be played a day later than Sunday, the waiting could prove to be too much for some Seahawk fans, many of whom might spontaneously combust, so eager is the anticipation for Sunday's game with the San Francisco 49ers.
Home field advantage was to have made Sunday's game a coronation.
Instead, it could serve as a beheading.
As kickoff nears, those not blinded by 12th Man Fever have to view Sunday's foe as formidable, battle-tested, and more than capable of dashing the dreams of every fan in Washington and bordering Northwest states, as well as several Canadian provinces.
Home field advantage throughout the playoffs was supposed to provide a golden ticket to the Super Bowl.
Such was the case with the 2005 Seahawks, who sliced and diced their way past the despicably nicknamed team from our nation's capitol, and the badly overmatched Carolina Panthers, before being derailed by the Pittsburgh Steelers (and Bill Leavy and his Merry-Men-in-Stripes).
Nothing promises to be easy this time around, though.
The Niners come north with more big game experience than the Hawks, a stout defense, and a QB with a hotter hand of late (aided by healthier receivers).
The slightest thing can skew the final result…..a tipped pass, a funny bounce, an inopportune penalty (are there any other kinds?), a disputed spotting of the ball. Football is, if nothing else, the quintessential game of inches.
One thing's for certain – you can throw the statistics out the window.
There's no question about it.
Don't underestimate the value of the Clink/12th Man. It unnerved that bicep-kisser before, and he won't be wearing his earphones blocking out noise this time, either. Hopefully, Pete will let his young QB take some chances, too and THAT could be the difference.

The Yankees used the latest Derek Jeter milestone to push the Red Sox closer to a second straight dark October.
Jeter hit one of five Yankees homers to help the AL East leaders to a 6-4 victory last night over their fading blood rivals in front of 49,422 customers at the Stadium who had to suffer through heavy rains and lightning bolts across the first three innings.
Jeter's fifth-inning blast to left not only tied the score, 4-4, it was his 250th career homer. Willie Mays and Jeter are the only players in history with 250 homers, 3,000 hits, 300 stolen bases and 1,200 RBIs.
"I always hear I don't hit home runs,'' said Jeter, who has 10 this season. "In my mind I am happy with it. For me, it's a lot of home runs. I will take it.''
Joining Jeter, who was the designated hitter for the second time in four games, in the muscle flexing show was switch-hitting Nick Swisher, who homered from both sides of the plate using bats delivered to him 90 minutes before the game, Curtis Granderson and Russell Martin. The five homers tied a season-high for the Yankees, who also did it against the Red Sox earlier this season on April 20 in Fenway Park.
The power barrage helped Phil Hughes post the victory. Hughes' only mistake was an errant throw to second base in the third inning when the Red Sox scored four unearned runs to erase a 3-0 lead. Homers from Swisher in the first and back-to-back blasts by Granderson and Martin in the second provided the early lead.
"He was great except for that throw,'' manager Joe Girardi said of Hughes (12-10), who bounced back from two miserable outings. He allowed seven hits, one walk and fanned four. "He threw more change-ups than he had in four or five starts combined.''
As impressive as the home runs by the team that leads the majors in them were, Jayson Nix's flare single to right in the sixth inning off a 0-2 slider away from right-hander Clayton Mortensen put the Yankees ahead, 5-4.
"I am mainly trying to see a pitch up there,'' Nix said. "He had thrown a lot of pitches down to Russ [Martin] the at-bat before. It was kind of in the area I wanted it.''
David Robertson held his breath a bit in the eighth when Dustin Pedroia, who hit a three-run homer off Hughes in the third, crushed a ball to center with Carl Crawford on second and one out and the Yankees leading, 6-4.
"I knew he hit it hard but I saw Curtis [Granderson] going for it and saw how high it was,'' said Robertson, who took Crawford's smash off his left foot. "I was behind in the count and had to throw him a strike. I just got lucky.''
Rafael Soriano recorded the final three outs for his 30th save. The Yankees' 11th victory in 16 games extended their AL East lead over the fading Red Sox to 13 1/2 games. The win pushed the Yankees lead over the Orioles, who started the night six back and tied with the Rays for second, to seven games.
As for Jeter's latest milestone he said the ball which he traded for a signed bat and signed the fans' jersey, will go next to all the other balls he has collected.
"He is an amazing player,'' Girardi said. "Think about what he has done. He is 38 and has played 15 days in a row.''

The matchups
A closer look at the Sharks' first-round playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks.
Both teams have capable netminders, but the similarities stop there. While San Jose's situation could not be more stable — if Antti Niemi is breathing, he's playing — Vancouver's is far more complicated with Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo vying for starts. On top of that, Schneider is dealing with an undisclosed injury. If healthy enough to play — and Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said he might not know that until game day — Schneider has the better numbers, while Luongo has more big-game experience. "Whatever they do, they're not turning to a two-year rookie," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said, citing Luongo's credentials as an Olympic gold-medal winner. All true, but there's still the potential for high and distracting drama.
Edge: Sharks
Both teams have players in their lineups who have made careers out of annoying the opposition — and worse. Sharks forward Raffi Torres is an ex-Canuck with a laundry list of dubious hits on his resume. Alexandre Burrows hasn't caused quite as much damage over his career, but the Canucks' right wing did create a ruckus in the 2011 Stanley Cup finals when he was accused of biting Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron. Those two might be the headliners despite recent efforts to clean up their acts, but the undercard isn't bad either, as Sharks forward Adam Burish and Canucks center Maxim Lapierrre know how to get under the opposition's skin.
Edge: Even
The Sharks were among the league's top power-play teams, finishing tied for seventh with a 20.1 percent success rate. Still consistency was a problem — San Jose started the season with a ridiculous 37.5 percent success rate the first five games, then saw productivity drop as low as 2 for 46 in one 11-game stretch in February. Considering its talent, Vancouver finished a surprisingly low 22nd in the NHL with a 15.8 percent success rate. But don't be fooled. With the oft-injured Ryan Kesler back in the lineup for the last 10 games of the season, the Canucks' power play was an impressive 8 for 33, a 24.2 percent clip.
Edge: Sharks, but not by as much as you might think.
No, it wasn't perfect every night. But the Sharks got the more aggressive penalty kill they wanted after the frustrations of a 29th-place finish in 2011-12. Associate coach Larry Robinson and assistant Jim Johnson were brought in specifically to engineer the turnaround and put an emphasis on play around the net. It worked, as the Sharks improved to No. 6 in the NHL with an 85 percent success rate. That said, Vancouver was eighth, at 84 percent. And with the Canucks adding Derek Roy at the trade deadline, the gap between the teams might be narrowed.
Edge: Even
Neither team wants to hear it, but there are easy-to-draw parallels between the Canucks and Sharks. The big-name players — Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau for the Sharks, Henrik and Daniel Sedin for the Canucks — are in their early 30s, only a year apart in age. Both teams have had a ton of regular-season success — the Sharks won four consecutive Pacific Division titles at one point, the Canucks' current streak is at five in the Northwest — yet fallen short in the postseason. The Sharks reached the conference finals in 2010 and 2011, but no further, stopped most recently by a Vancouver team that lost in the finals to Boston.
Edge: Canucks, for getting one big step closer to the holy grail.
Two years is a long time and maybe Vigneault has cooled off, but the last time the teams met in the playoffs he was holding McLellan responsible for a night of on-ice mayhem caused by Ben Eager. McLellan countered that the Canucks weren't in position to complain after an incident in an earlier series against Chicago. Strategically, the counter moves have already begun, as Vigneault put Roy and Kesler on separate lines this week in an apparent effort to counter McLellan's use of Joe Pavelski as a nominal third-line center.
Edge: Sharks, for getting the Canucks to make adjustments before the first puck drops.
The most interesting individual battle of the series could feature Logan Couture and Kesler, the Canucks' gritty center. Neither coach is saying, but no one should be surprised if Couture draws Kesler, who zeroed in on Thornton in 2011. That's fine with Couture. "He battles, he's a competitor, he's hard on pucks. He just makes it tough to play against him," Couture said. "I look forward to the challenge if we do happen to match up against him." Kesler took a different approach in responding to a question about Couture. "I'm not going to focus on their player. I'm going to make him focus on me." OK now.
Edge: Even
Sharks 4, Canucks 1, Jan. 27 at HP Pavilion; Sharks 3, Canucks 2 (shootout), March 5 at Rogers Arena; Sharks 3, Canucks 2, April 1 at HP Pavilion
Summary: The Sharks had a two-goal lead in each of their three meetings with the Canucks, and special teams played a big role in all three San Jose victories. The Sharks went 12 for 12 on the penalty kill and did not take any minor penalties in their final regular-season meeting with the Canucks.

Antivirus Test: Many Successes, Many False Positives
In the latest on-demand detection rest from Austrian test lab AV-Comparatives.org most of the products tested would have received an ADVANCED+ rating, the highest rating. Unfortunately, false positives (valid files identified as malicious) knocked forty percent of the tested products down one notch, or even two.
Researchers at AV-Comparatives put 20 antivirus products to the test, checking whether they detect almost 300,000 prevalent samples from the last few months. Because so many products now rely to a greater or lesser extent on cloud-based detection, they kept an open Internet connection during the test. All were standalone antivirus products except AhnLab's, as AhnLab only offers a suite.
Unqualified Success
Eleven of the tested products, more than half of the group, reached the ADVANCED+ rating and didn't incur any penalty for false positives. Ordered by descending detection rate, they are: G Data, Avira, Kaspersky, Sophos, F-Secure, Panda, Bitdefender, BullGuard, eScan, Avast, and ESET.
ADVANCED is the second-highest rating. None of the products that achieved this rating based on detection alone managed to retain it; they all got knocked lower due to false positives. Microsoft Security Essentials missed a ton of samples and thus rated STANDARD, the lowest passing rating.
Lost Scores
To derive the ratings, researcher start by using a clustering method that puts the scores into logical groups. This avoids illogical splitting of near-identical scores based on an arbitrary set of cut-off scores. Next they penalize products that generated too many false positives; the following chart shows how this step works.
In the chart above, group 1 (at right) includes the products with the very best detection. As you can see, to retain the ADVANCED+ rating a product must display few or very few false positives. And even the absolute top-rated product can get demoted to merely TESTED if it identified "crazy many" valid files as malicious.
Fortinet, McAfee, and Webroot all would have earned ADVANCED+ if not for false positives. Fortinet and McAfee dropped to ADVANCED. Webroot's numerous false positives almost reached the "crazy many" threshold. As it is, 478 false positives took it down to STANDARD. Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus attained impressive scored in PCMag's own testing.
AVG, PC Tools, GFI, and Trend Micro also landed in the STANDARD group, down one from the ADVANCED rating they would have earned without so many false positives. AhnLab's detection rate, worse than any others except for Microsoft, would have put it in the STANDARD group too, but false positives knocked it to the unacceptable TESTED level. AhnLab's V3 Secure Cloud also scored poorly in PCMag's tests.
The full report, available on the AV-Comparatives website, goes into great detail about testing methods and offers full numeric scores for detection and false positives.

Dogbert is thinking like an economist here. You notice that he keeps squashing Dilbert's fantasies of how the world should work with an explanation of how the world does work. He's doing this by looking for the unseen. He's doing this by continually probing Dilbert's proposed solutions by asking him to state the problem that he's trying to solve.
Far too often in my consulting practice, people will come to me asking me to help with a solution. Sometimes I recognize that their solution would solve the wrong problem.
Replies to mailing lists
For example, people will ask me "How do I get ezmlm to insert a Reply-To: pointing back to the mailing list?" The discomfort that they're trying to address is that people tend to Reply to an email to continue the conversation. This doesn't work for a mailing list because the To: address is that address that continues the conversation. Hitting Reply simply sends email to the one person who authored that email. Hitting Reply-All is not a solution because it sends an extra copy to the author of the email. Unless someone trims the address list, eventually every author's name gets included in addition to the list itself.
The real problem here is that email clients need a third Reply command: Reply-List. This command will send email only to the address in the To: header.
People will also ask "How do I get the MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) to append a disclaimer to every email?" That's not just a wrong solution, it's a wrong problem. It's a wrong solution because the disclaimer should be appended by the MUA (Mail User Agent or email program) or if that's simply impossible, by the MSA (Mail Submission Agent or your ISP's email server). For more details, see Carl Hutzler's email best-practices document.
But more than that, putting disclaimers on unsigned email is like washing toilet paper. Everyone who has gotten email from "email@example.com", raise your hands. No, no, everybody put your hands down. Everyone who has NOT gotten such email raise your hands. Ahhh, just as I thought: nobody has their hand up. Paypal keeps getting phished because they refuse to sign their email using DomainKeys. Same thing for everyone else. If you think your email could be used in a court of law, think again. No competently-informed judge will accept email as a reliable document. A disclaimer is meaningless.

We are women and our value and worth is judged on how we look. I hope that one day things change and i know it has to start with our children.
Views: 127
It's not just women and beauty but also men and looks too. It can open doors but it can be a burden. In a personal relationship it can really mess things up. Beauty or looks is just what you are born with and it goes away in most cases. What a thing for people to fixate on.
In any relationship people decide who and what you are then treat you the way they do according to their own mind set but this is even more true when one has beauty or looks.
The funny thing is, most guys don't want those women. But the media convinces women that if they want a man, they have to conform to this ideal. I get guys who tell me they don't care if I wear make up or not, that they don't care if my hair isn't done up or if my clothes aren't fashionable, they like the conversations I have with them and how fun I am to be around. You know those girls who don't conform to the media's ideal that get all these guys? And you wonder, huh, she's not that pretty, why do so many guys like her? The guys who do want their girls to look like that, with big breasts and skinny bodies aren't even WORTH the time, because all they want is to be sexually gratified, and they want to use her as an accessory to get attention. You definitely have to teach your children early that the media is wrong about appearance, and as much as it sounds like "sheltering", I'll probably get rid of television for my kids. It's not tv shows I'm worried about, it's all the damn ads! Hopefully by the time I have kids there will already be alternatives to cable and satellite, considering how popular it is to download shows off of the internet these days.
I am still attracted to beauty, but my conception of beauty has evolved over the years. When I was younger I considered beauty to be an ideal, and i was attracted to girls that had a certain look or body type or style (surface or superficial beauty). I was discouraged by the fact that the girls that fit this mold were often completely incompatible with me as a human. The beauty that i sought was essentially just a shell, packaging that may or may not reflect the true human underneath.
Now that i have lived more and experienced life as a father and an open-minded adult, I am much more in tune with who i am, as well as the type of human I find beautiful. Raising children is beautiful. Helping others is beautiful. Sharing insight and intuition and thus helping me find out who I am is beautiful. Personal courage and the conviction to achieve long term goals is beautiful. These are some of the qualities that define beauty for me now.
A man who is worth my time wants more than a pretty face/body...full stop.
But I work with teenage girls and I see how they're affected on a daily basis...it's disgusting, really.
There are many things I disagree regarding Islam and all the covering up etc, but the Muslim girls I work with are much happier because they have no pressure to look like a celebrity. If only we could channel that thought outside the religious sense...
I remember when I saw commercials for the Dove Self-Esteem project on my TV on a regular basis. What happened to that? I liked those commercials.

Roy LeTourneau, son of LeTourneau University founders R.G. and Evelyn LeTourneau, will speak in chapel on Friday, April 12, reminiscing about his parents and the legacy of faith. Chapel begins at 10:50 a.m. in the S. E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center on the LeTourneau University main campus, 2100 South Mobberly Ave.
For more than 20 years, Roy LeTourneau served as president of ministries that pioneered a church-planting program in Latin America. At the age of 23, he was sent to Peru, South America while working for his father's company to direct a development project. He and his wife, Shirley, lived in Peru for eight years, building roads and developing jungle land on the headwaters of the Amazon River. The missions work LeTourneau established in the jungle and the church planting helped found in the city of Lima are still ongoing today. Back in the United States, Roy founded a tractor dealership that grew to be one of the largest in the country and also spent several years as a developer and builder in Rockwall, Texas.
Now retired, Roy and his wife Shirley live in Rowlett, Texas and have four children and eight grandchildren

The plates are held together by just two bulldog clips, and no tape. Make sure the plates are horizontal, pour the acrylamide in at the comb end and let the plates fill by capillary action. If a bubble starts to form, just tap the plate just above the forming bubble, but this is unneccessay if the plates are clean. Simon Futers (futers at biovax.leeds.ac.uk)

Perceptions of Afghan Refugees
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, EU officials issued a symbolic statement that the EU was prepared to receive Afghan refugees displaced from the looming American intervention. Despite internal policy tendencies to reject Afghan claims to protection and domestic security concerns over admitting individuals who may be affiliated with terrorist organizations, EU officials seemed to recognize at the time that there was very little risk of a massive influx of Afghan refugees.
This chapter, in Global Responses to Terrorism: 9/11, Afghanistan and Beyond, addresses three crucial issues that help to explain the lack of attention on Afghan refugees: the images (or lack thereof) of refugees publicized through various media outlets and their impact on public perceptions; the significance of enduring perceptions; and the dilemma faced by public officials who must bridge the divide between their international commitments to refugee protection and claims to domestic security.
In addition to "attention grabbers" or images that diverted the public's attention away from the people of Afghanistan, the author finds that much of the indifference experienced in Western states to the plight of Afghan refugees can be attribute to the absence of new images. In fact, the author notes that the most widely publicized image of an Afghan refugee remains the iconic image of a young Afghan girl with vibrant green eyes − Sharbat Gula − taken by Steve McCurry in 1983. In addition, the author finds that rather negative and longstanding perceptions of Afghan asylum-seekers as bogus or lacking legitimate claims to protection in many developed countries also played a role in the lack of initiative experienced among Western populations to act on behalf of Afghan refugees. In fact, the author finds that in the 1990s, of 150,000 Afghanis who sought asylum in Europe, only 36,000 claims were recognized. Finally, the author also notes that governments faced their own political, strategic and security concerns, many of which help to explain the lack of attention on those displaced by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.

I find myself in desert country. Not too deep, but right smack dab in the middle of where I want to be. Miles and miles of asphalt passed under me to get here, washing cities to mountains, dirt to snow and back again. The thick, full Rockies went flat, disappeared for a time, then popped back up, red, sparse and skeletal. I'm in Moab, Utah. I stand in a land that once boasted an entire civilization that was rumored to have vanished almost overnight.

Hi All,
Id like your thoughts on cheap chinese yoyo's. I currently have a Popstar & a Protostar, both play fine though the Protostar does have a slight vibe to it wich I dont mind. I recently brought a cheap chinese throw from ebay for a nephew of mine as he was showing some interest but I didnt feel comfortable spending a bit of money on something he would forgrt about tomorrow. So I got him a Magic T5 yoyo for the priceley some of $12 delivered with 5 strings, bargain.
As I had access to it for a few days & im a cheeky monkey I decided to give it a throw. Within 10 minutes of playing with it I was back on ebay buying myself one. Its smooth, quiet, sleeps for days & feels really nice in the hand. With the YoYO factory kit im lucky to string a 2 trick combo together, With the T5 I can string 6 or 7 tricks into a 1 throw combo.
I know there are a lot of bootleg yoyo's out there but I cant match this trow to anything else ive seen. I dont think ive seen Its shape, response & bearing together in 1 yoyo before. Ive played a few high end metals & this is equal if not smoother than most ive played. Any way do a ebay search for magic yoyo's & youll see their range of products, I just ordered the T6 for another relative & will post how it plays if I get the chance.
Quick edit to ask if anyones using Nylon string? I can get it delivered cheaper than polly & I play nothing else now, i reakon it rules.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (36-15) earned a place on two polls recently, ranking No. 24 in the nation on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Poll and No. 7 in the NCAA Southeast Regional Poll.
GC softball finished Peach Belt Conference (PBC) play as second place in the regular season and runner-up in the tournament championship game. The 36 wins earned by the team are the fourth most in school history.
The Bobcats have now appeared on three-straight NFCA polls and received votes for five-straight, peaking at No. 14 on the list last week. Fellow PBC members also remain in the top-25, as Armstrong (36-7-1) maintained the No. 2 position and Columbus State University (39-16) improved seven spots to No. 16 after winning the PBC Tournament.
The NCAA regional rankings determine which teams advance to the NCAA postseason, with eight total teams in the southeast facing off in two different SubRegionals. Armstrong ranks as the top team in the region with Lenoir-Rhyne University (35-14) sitting in the second spot.
Five PBC teams sit in the top-10 regionally, with the University of North Georgia at the No. 3 spot, Columbus State at No. 4 and Flagler College at No. 9 all joining the Bobcats and Armstrong.
The Bobcats now await the NCAA regional announcements, set for Monday May 6 at 10:30 a.m. They'll be vying for an at-large bid and first regional appearance since 2009. The NCAA Regional Tournaments are set to begin May 10.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

December 05, 2002
Los Angeles — UCLA Anderson Forecast director Ed Leamer sees no reason to alter his most recent prognostications and continues to forecast economic sluggishness and a disappointing national labor market for at least another six months. UCLA Anderson Forecast suggests that by mid-2003, business investment may pick-up, but even long-awaited improvement in this essential sector will be offset by a drop-off in consumer spending brought on by high debt loads.
In a report titled, "No News Is No News," Dr. Leamer notes that there have been no significant changes in economic data to cause him to alter a forecast he has been making for most of 2002. In short, UCLA Anderson Forecast asserts that the current recovery cycle is part of the nation's first "business cycle" recession. In the past, drops in consumer activity have caused recessions; this time around it was steep cuts in business investment brought about by the crash of the Internet Economy that caused a recession. Like the unique "business recession," we are currently experiencing a unique "business recovery," as the businesses try to sell off inflated inventory and in particular get more life out of technology investment made in the late 1990s. When business begins to increase production (due to reduced inventory) and start purchasing technology again, then the economy will pick up steam.
The caveat is that consumers have continued to spend as if there were no problems at all in the economy. In large part, unusually low interest rates have spurred home and auto purchases. Dr. Leamer remains concerned that large purchases made today due to low interest rates will ultimately result in less spending in the future—basically saying that next year's home and car purchases are being made today. The danger is that consumer spending could potentially drop before business investing picks up speed.
"The real danger is that consumers' high debt load slows spending before businesses ramp up production," said Dr. Leamer.
Dr. Leamer calls for a return to normal growth rates by the middle or end of 2003, when interest rates and inflation will rise and unemployment will decline.
In California, the news is actually not as good as it is for the nation. Senior Economist Tom Lieser warns that the state is likely to move sideways throughout 2002, and then sputter during the first half of 2003.
In his quarterly report titled, "The California Forecast: Looking for the Bottom," Dr. Lieser comments that the information technology industries (and their suppliers and distributors in California and across the country) continue to suffer from substantial excess capacity and weak earnings. He also notes that major employers in this key sector are unlikely to increase hiring until operations become profitable and many companies are still undergoing staff reductions. In addition, there are other factors troubling the state's economic outlook, not the least of which is the state's enormous budget deficit.
In other highlights from the California forecast, Dr. Lieser notes:
A downturn in export trade and continued slowing in consumer spending.
A belief that two areas of recent strength, auto and home sales, have passed their peak.
The health care industry is strong and remains unimpeded by the general recession.
Tourism is prevailing despite recent terrorist events.
Education has never been better for K-12.
Los Angeles County has slipped into an economic stall of its own. While Lieser's state report demonstrates that the Bay Area has fared far worse than Southern California since the Internet Crash, a report authored by Senior Economist Christopher Thornberg suggests that the county as slipped into an economic stall, despite having avoided the worst of the national recession up to this point.
Payroll employment in Los Angeles County has remained relatively flat for the past nine months. However, Dr. Thornberg indicates that this flatness can be misleading. A closer look at the most recent data indicates that formerly troubled sectors such as business services and the entertainment industry have given way to new trouble spots—specifically retail trade and manufacturing. In fact, a revival in the motion picture industry is one of the bright spots in the local economy, along with an end to the labor strife at the port.
Other indicators of business activity include:
Traffic through LAX and hotel occupancy rates are down.
International trade is slow.
Bankruptcies are up.
Dr. Thornberg forecasts a relatively weak Christmas retail season—up from last year, but still down from two years ago.
About UCLA Anderson Forecast
UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation, and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California, and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. Most recently, the Forecast is credited as the first major U.S. group to declare the recession of 2001. Visit UCLA Anderson Forecast on the Web at http://forecast.anderson.ucla.edu.

Beautiful product, good prices. Only issue was a delay in shipping of several weeks due to inventory. This delay caused issues with scheduling on a whole-house renovation and it would have been quite useful to know about upfront, rather than having to call them repeatedly for updates. When the flooring finally arrived, weeks late, it was beautiful and in very good shape. I would use them again, but I would order much earlier than needed to allow for any delays.

Crazy Dave's Carpet Outlet
Recent Review:
I bought a house that had 7-year-old carpet throughout, and I hated it. I decided to replace all the carpet with laminate flooring. At the time, I didn't know much about it, so I started doing some research and shopping around for the right flooring. One of my co-workers recommended Crazy Dave's. He'd replaced all the flooring in his house (some carpet, some laminate) and had gotten all of his flooring at Crazy Dave's. So, I stopped by one morning to talk to them. They arranged for someone to come out to the new house and take measurements, and when I went back to look at what they had available, I found an absolutely beautiful floor (Wild Pecan from KronoSwiss) that I fell absolutely in love with. It was, however, a bit above what I wanted to pay, especially since I was going to be doing, in total, around 1300 sq ft! Well, they took that into consideration, and gave me a deal on the price. I got the flooring and the underlayment for less than $2/sq ft! I had been planning to buy it all at once, with some money I'd saved up, but I hadn't saved up quite that much. I just bought enough to do the living room so I could have that done before we moved in. A couple of months later, when I got my income tax refund, I went back to get the rest. Even though it had been a couple of months since I'd bought the first load and the cost of the flooring had gone up, they stuck to the original deal. They do have installers, but didn't push installation service on me. In fact, they recommended that I try to install it msyelf, since the cost of installation would double the cost of the flooring. I'd never done anything even remotely like that before, but they explained how to do it and what basic tools I would need. And whenever I had a question while I was doing that first room, they were there and ready to answer them. When I came in the second time to pick up the rest of my flooring, I proudly showed them the pictures I'd taken of the living room when I finished it up, and they were more than happy to look at them and tell me it looked as good as I thought it did. They are friendly, customer-oriented, and have excellent products! The new house is a doublewide, and laminate flooring can end up sounding hollow, but the underlayment they sold me deadens sound nicely. There is no hollow sound to the floor at all! And even with six dogs running, scrambling, and skidding across the floor, there are no scuffs or scratches. In fact, the only scuffs or scratches at all are ones that I made during the installation, and are impossible to see if you don't know they're there. The moral of the story? Great quality flooring from a great company. They won't push things on you that you don't need. They'll answer any questions you have. And, if you have materials left over when you finish the job, they'll buy them back! I have recommended them to friends myself, and will again. And when I get ready to replace the flooring in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms, I'll be going back to Crazy Dave's!

In today's business world, I am what you would refer to as a Skeptic and always on the lookout for scams. Therefore, I had studied up prior to talking to Andrew and meeting with him to discuss our project and desires. He is an enthusiastic and compassionate person, whom which carries himself with confidence and stands behind his (their) product and company. He was able to answer every question and concern I had, and as a result, we did not hesitate to schedule our floor to be completed. As you can tell, meeting Andrew was great, however, meeting Carey (Co-owner) added to the [AAA] satisfaction and experience had with this project and the outcome. From the time Carey and his team arrived to start the project they were punctual, professional, courteous, neat, clean and explained in detail every step of the process. Throughout the project, which took three days due to the stages that this needs to occur to get the PROFESSIONAL RESULTS one desires when having this done, Carey was continuously asking if we had questions, concerns and/or were pleased. Andrew, Carey the Team (Josh and Sergio) at Limitless Innovations LLC, by far, EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS (and that isn't easy to do for this 30+ year military retiree) and we can't wait to be one of the many REPEAT CUSTOMERS that they have had to date. If you are considering installing a decorative Epoxy floor covering and/or are wanting to have decorative Stain applied to your concrete... whether in your home or out, PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME and LOOK NO FURTHER!!! These Owner's of this company (LIMITLESS INNOVATIONS) will undoubtedly be a SUCCESS in this day and age when finding QUALITY, PUNCTUALITY, RELIABILITY and PROFESSIONALISM are elusive and rare. Please visit them on their FaceBook page to see some of the beautiful work that they have done. Chris

They did what they said they would do. There was a small problem with the installation but they fixed it right away. Laminate flooring does usually need to have adjustments, so it was not a big deal.

smoothly so the "look" would not be obtrusive. Justin's two guys who did all the work and laid the new tile floor were always on time, and their work ethic was impeccable. I was amazed that they would come in their morning with the thermos bottle of coffee, take a break to eat cold sandwiches for lunch and never leave the job until around 5:30 or 6:00 PM when work had to be shut down for the next stage of the job. That kind of work ethic is something you do not see much of anymore, and is so much appreciated by the customer. The cutting and laying of the tile was so professional and well done and their was zero waste of tile- in fact 3/4's of one box of tiles were left over. And the installation of the grout, grout sealer, 1/4 round molding, and re-installation of the appliances was done without any additional scratching of walls or moldings was amazing. This was a major job that spanned several days because of the Black Mold mitigation, drying, new base material under the tile, laying of new tile, grout installation, grout sealer, appliance replacement, etc., and everything had to be done in steps. Justin, and his employee's are the most professional, hard working, knowledgeable, nice to be around folks you will ever invite into your house to do work. This was a very trying project which required days of my Wife & I to eat out all of the time while the job was being worked, and Justin, Cody, and Nick were very understanding throughout the entire process. Their isn't enough adjectives to describe the absolutely superb job they did. And, if you need to contact me about any questions you might have please call me at [removed], and I will be glad to answer any questions you might have. [Member name removed]

Reviews in Huddleston to Install Laminate Flooring
Shadwick Construction
Shadwick Construction provided a cost estimate for the installation of flooring which I purchased from another vendor. They arrived promptly for both the estimate and the installation. They removed the existing carpeting and installed two rooms of laminate quickly and professionally. The installation was surprisingly fast - and the quality was extremely high They even cleaned up well and removed any related trash before they left! I highly recommend them; they are friendly, efficient and professional . I will certainly be using them again soon.

Jake did an excellent job on all laminate installations, and the refinished hardwood floors were absolutely stunning.

Floors By James
He did a phenomenal job, and he was incredibly patient. He had to deal with the wrong materials being sent by Lowe's and a host of other problems, but he handled them very well and my floor looks great. He's meticulous and personable. He's very professional, and it's apparent that he cares about what he's doing.

Romanoff Floor Coverings
My issues are less about the installation and more about the customer service of Romanoff. - Home Depot has a sale price for whole home installation. I chose to accept the price. While I'm sure Romanoff will blame Home Depot for this, I am convinced otherwise. The whole home installation price was $499, but it turned out that if I wanted the old carpet removed, it was an additional price. I chose to do the extra work on my own. Once the sale was made, I received a phone call explaining a lot of additional costs. Apparently, moving furniture out of the way was not part of the installation price, so I was to pay an additional $500 for that. The quarter-round trim which hold the laminate floor down is not part of the installation, it was an additional $600 for that. While going through the list, I explained that I would handle all of those items. At that point, I was not aware that by doing so, I would create a ton of delays and hoops to jump through. When I went back to the Home Depot store to schedule the installation, I was told that it couldn't be scheduled because of issues. No one explained this to me in the prior phone call. I had to repair sub-floor and add a vapor barrier under the house. Of course Romanoff could do this for a sizable fee. I said that I would have the work completed by my family. At that time, I worked quickly to get the repairs made so that I could have Romanoff inspect it - which by the way was an $80 fee for them to inspect. They did and I passed. However, even after the workers inspected, the office still questioned whether I had a vapor barrier. I assured them that the workers looked and they were welcome to come back and look if they needed to. - Then I receved a call stating that they were very busy and I would not be able to get my installation for another month. -I have very bad allergies and had already been living on bare floors with dust everywhere for 3 weeks. When I explained this to Romanoff, the employee - I believe her name was Beverly laughed at me. It was the most unprofessional treatment I have ever experienced. They tried to lay it off on Home Depot, but the workers in Home Depot were also frustrated because of the treatment of Romanoff. In fact, the worker helping me got hung up on while she was in mid-sentence asking a question. When they finally installed my floors, the first thing the workers asked again was whether or not I had a vapor barrier. These were the same guys who did the inspection. I said they were welcome to crawl under my house and look again. - Overall they did a decent job of the installation, but Romanoff's customer service is some of the worst I have ever experienced.

A-1 Carpet & Tile
My wife and I went to Mohammed 's showroom on South Blvd. to take a look at what flooring products he offered for our child's playroom, which is our bonus room over the garage. Mohamed showed us what he had, but also came out to our house with samples to let us see how they looked in the room and the light. He also gave us some good ideas on how to transition the new flooring to our staircase carpet. His installation guys came back in a couple of weeks and removed our existing carpet and put down the new flooring, which took maybe half a day or so. We had a fairly large stretch of transition to the carpet that would have taken two pieces of edging; Mohammed did not like the look of breaking it into two pieces, so he crafted a custom transition for us himself and stained it to match the flooring exactly. He wants his customers to be completely happy, and goes out of his way to make that happen. We were so pleased with his work, that we hired him to completely re-tile two of our bathrooms a few months later, and he did a great job on that too. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Pre-install: Good at answering questions and set the tone Store sales specialist Gary D Hedges. Gave me information on available products, availability for install, samples, and just good information based on what I thought I wanted. Yes he tried to sell me a more expensive product but also listened. Gave me an in-store "guesstimate" which helped me refine my budget. Had to pay $35 for an estimate but it would be deducted from the purchase price. The Actual measuring with product and installation quote: Gentleman arrived just a bit late but had the courtesy to call as it was a longer drive than he had estimated. He was in a uniform and wearing ID. He had an electronic measuring device and zipped right into and through getting the measurements. Estimated time for the install. He also gave me a complete written instruction on what to expect about the process in order to be prepared for the installation. Great information, all spelled out and believe me, a lot of work. Contract: Back to the store because I like the face-to-face. Complete merchandise and installation description. Materials ordered and date to be most likely in the store. Assisted at the cash register with Lowe's Consumer Credit Card which afforded the purchaser a possible 5% off or special financing. Scheduling: Installer or Lowe's (?) called and set the installation date for May 26th. Craig to be my contact for Lowe's installation Team and his phone number. Brandon called the Saturday before and inquired about starting on Tuesday the 27th instead but I had already gotten Monday off to be there for the workers. He seemed disappointed but would be there. It was a long drive for the crew so it would be at 9:00 AM. I said the earlier the better. I had a week to pack up all the breakables, electronics and the BOOKS! Delivery of materials: I was given a date and time for the delivery and when I got there, about 30 minutes before, the material had been delivered and left in the driveway. The product, Pergo laminate wood flooring was to acclimatize to the household temperature and humidity for 2-3 days, INDOORS! Rain was expected at anytime and so I called my contact Craig and a crew of store personnel arrived and carried the flooring and materials into the house. Installation: Team of two, Kevin and the guy who did the estimate(sorry really bad at names). These guys worked like fire and I still had a few things to pack. They would tell me where they would be working and I mostly stayed ahead but I was also working full time. By the end of the second day, they did get ahead of me and started on the master bedroom. I had not taken apart the bed but I had told Kevin that it was an air bed in a waterbed frame. By the middle of the third day they were done and had caulked some spots I had marked the previous day. I must say, I was impressed with the workmanship and the speed. I had asked for the transition from the master bath to the new wood floor be wood. The evening they completed I came home and my bed was reassembled but was not quite right in the center of the room so my friend and I started taking it apart to move it a bit and found that the support platform boards had the screws ripped out (particle board) and two of the three pieces were broken and the frame was not put back together correctly and one of the air bladder nozzles had been pulled out of the bladder. I was very upset about the situation when I went back to work the next day but had not decided quite what to do but I said something about it to a co-worker about the damage and how upset I was and she called her husband AT LOWE's! (I wasn't aware that she was connected with somebody who worked there, just a sympathetic ear.) Well that very day Kevin called and offered to fix the board situation with plywood at my earliest convenience and offered to place the transition at the master bath if I would pick one up and if that would square us. I was pleased at the offer and accepted it. I felt it was partially my responsibility that the damage had occurred as I should have disassembled the bed so I purchased a new air bladder. Kevin came and my friend was fortunately able to be there and Kevin tried to take the bed apart the same way as he had before with trying to lift the frame with the platform boards attached. I had at least unplugged the air bladders this time. Fortunately she stopped him before further damage. The platform was replaced and the transition was installed and he left. The bed was fine but the transition was not straight with the most obvious grout lines and he had taken the 4 piece kit that I had purchased so I could not fix it myself either. This time I called Craig directly and he said he would contact Kevin to get the kit returned and someone would contact me to fix the transition. It's only been about a week but I haven't heard anything yet. In spite of this glitch, I love this floor and my experience has been very good!
- Fay W.
People working at that time were very helpful and friendly. They helped me to determine sqaure foot was and about what each floor would cost me...this really helped me because I was on a budget. I would recommend any one wanting a nice and friendly experience buying floor covering to go by this store, it is definitely worth it.
- Belinda B.
They did not put any batting underneath the flooring or allow enough room for it to swell so we had rollarcoaster bumps in it downstairs. We tried to contact them to fix it, but they did not and would not return our calls. The trim around the floor is popping off and swollen out from the stress on it. It's a horrible horrible mess! Their little painter friend, Paul, gave us a quote of 3k to paint our interior and then handed us a bill for 5k at the end. He even tried to say we doctored the freaking quote he gave us that we had in hand! Insane!!! Also, we kept receiving registered letters, in the contractors name, but to our address where he'd not paid some other company! Crazy! RUN FROM THESE PEOPLE! They are crooks and do not stand by their work.

Mary McCarthy: THE GROUP
Last week I reread Mary McCarthy's THE GROUP, which follows a group of Vassar Graduates (class of 31) in the 30's and into the war. It was a bestseller when released in 1963, then a very popular movie in 1967, and now mostly forgotten. When I searched the library database, there were about five copies of this book in the entire Los Angeles library system. I bought the last copy at Borders.
It's a great book, fascinating in the observations and boldness of subjects covered, from communism to breast feeding to homosexuality and canned food. Having gone to a similar college forty years later probably added to the appeal.
Then last night we ran a 16mm print of the movie, THE GROUP. It was directed extremely well by Sidney Lumet in 1966. Imagine keeping eight waspy girls straight when they all have long hair and are the same age. The screenwriter followed the dialog very closely, and condensed a huge book into one movie with great style. Candice Bergen is the best known of the cast, but was actually the worst one in it.
Here's a choice short biography of Mary McCarthy, with several outrageous quotes, including this one:
In a taped interview with Dick Cavett, first aired in 1980, McCarthy said about Lillian Helman, with only slight hyperbole, that "every word she writes is a lie, including and and the." Hellman's defamation suit against McCarthy was dropped after Hellman's death. ''If someone had told me, don't say anything about Lillian Hellman because she'll sue you, it wouldn't have stopped me. It might have spurred me on. I didn't want her to die. I wanted her to lose in court. I wanted her around for that.''

Interesting to learn about Mary McCarthy. I've long been interested in Lillian Hellman's life and also Dorothy Parker and other writers from the Round Table. Sharp, witty women!

I'd never heard of Mary McCarthy before. Thanks for the introduction.
"Every word [Lillian Helman] writes is a lie, including and and the" heh heh. That's one sharp tongue!
Sometimes I'm tempted to make cracks about people I deal with (or have dealt with in the past,) but my inner censor tells me to cork it. Don't be mean, it warns, besides, people in glass houses...

Sharp, witty women is right! Lillian Hellman may have been less than the legend, who knows.
I think those are all martini comments, ie couldn't be pulled off outside of a spiff lounge with someone bothering to record them.

Mary McC's essays are wonderful; for me, far more readable and re-readable than her fiction. I always admired her for taking on the liar (and successful saleslady of the lies)Lily H. Julia? Please.
