Skype Call Recorder does not record outgoing audio, just incoming, on a Skype call. How can I fix this?

hope to hear from you,thanks.
Is your record button pressed?
Did you check Skype menu -> Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab -> Manage other programs' access to Skype if there is MP3 Skype recorder in the list and it is allowed to access Skype?
yup,already checked skype menu and allowed to connect skype. i can see on the lower left of the mp3 box "connected to skype recording on" but when i click on the stop button and check the files where the conversation should be saved it is not there..it is empty.i wonder..please help! i badly need it for my interview. thanks!
Hi, why does my recorder doesn't work?
can you help me with this?
the system just say "MP3 skype recorder has just stopped working" then I can't open it again.
I've tried to uninstall it and install it again..same thing happen.
please help.
Hey Im trying to use the program but when i press the play button i cant find the skype calls, i changed teh destination folder, Im using 3.1 version so you know plse respond
Is there a way to key-bind?
(P.S. Amazing program, thank you for creating.)
We are using Skype at work, and need to record the calls...We just switched from a payware version to this and really seem to like it. Our problem is if the person we are on the phone with hangs up first, the recording does not stop. This causes quite a big data size over head if the users are not careful.
Is there a known fix? I know there was a Skype UI bug but we are using 220.127.116.11. It looks like the UI bug was fixed back in 4.x
It starts recording fine, but will not stop. It seems like there is some communication problem between the recorder and skype.. other than that this is a great addon! The notification is very useful and popular to our users.
I forgot to add we are using MP3 Skype Recorder 3.1
Thank you for your feedback I'll check this.
Thanks! If you need more info, I'll be happy to provide it.
Ok, I guess this issue isn't really an issue. After I showed the manager at the sales office how to use this addon, he forgot a step or two.
He was ending the recording manually, and in turn disabling the auto record function...I showed them how to use it again and all seems to be working fine on that end.
One last bug, After installing, I changed the folder to store the recordings. After a reboot it reverted back to the program's default location. I changed it again and it seems to be pointing to the correct folder again. I am not sure why the first reboot changed it back, but everything looks to be working fine.
Thanks again for this great addon!
I have downloaded the Skype Recorder twice, but in both occasions when the download was completed, I got the message that "connection to Skype was refused, could not start recording".
I went through the process of Tools --> option --> advanced --> manage etc, but the mp3 skype recorder (126.96.36.199) does not show there.
In "Help", I got the message that I've got the latest skype version.
I went through the "new events" also, but got no message about the recorder download.
How should I proceed?
thank you very much
Since installing the latest version of Recorder (two weeks ago) I can't seem to locate my recorded calls. I'm sure they have been recording as I can sort of see the box operating 'underneath' my open files, but I cannot work out where the files have been saved and if they've actually been saved at all?
Can you help? I'm missing a really important interview and would be so grateful for help!
Many thanks.
hey does the other party sees it when you record the call? will they know if you're recording the call? does it show in skype?
No, the other parties are not informed that you recording calls unless you tell them. Please note that some countries require by law to inform the other party if you recording. If you lucky to leave in one these countries it is your responsibility. You can set your Skype status to something like "Recording all calls".
There is a field, just in the middle of MP3 Skype recorder Window. It is signed above - "Folder to store Skype conversations". Try to look there. Double click Skype recorder icon in system tray to open the window, if it is minimized.
If it is empty you may need to check firewall if it is blocking audio stream from Skype to Skype recorder.
Hey I NEED HELP BADLY!!!
At the part where it says manage API Acess Control Where u can Change or Remove the Mp3 Skype Recorder, I accidently pressed Removed!! How do i get it back! I cant even open it when i click on the Icon of Mp3 Skype Recorder on my Desktop.
Please reply Thanks
Restart the computer, start MP3 Skype recorder(if it's not started, see below) and Skype. Go to Manage other program's access to Skype and recorder should be there again, change to allow access.
It looks like MP3 Skype recorder is already started if you can't start it by clicking icon on your desktop. Just dbl click recorder icon in system tray to open recorder window.
Unable to find a call I successfully recorded -- and heard back -- a few days ago. Where do I look for it? I've tried searching .mp3 in Windows 7. Thanks.
This topic is for the old version of Skype recorder 0.7.2.1. If you are still using it please upgrade to the latest version.
The recording should be in the folder which is shown on the main window in settings under "Folder to store Skype conversations" sign. Unfortunately if the folder is missing the program will fail to record the conversation. Please make sure that you are using the existing folder.
I have the exact same problem, I even tried to save my recording on my desktop but nothing seems to happen and I am 100% it was recording. I also tried to see if there were any hidden files but none was found, I just don't get it.
Hi! I have a question. Recently my computer stopped working. I have Windows XP. When I tried to start it, a sign would appear saying that I needed to insert the starting disk because there was a corrupted file. So...I did. When I could finally start my computer again, I found out that my MP3 skype recorder files had vanished. Even when I used the "search" option to scan my C disk, I found the mp3 files nowhere. Is it possible that by running the starting disk, I got to lose all my recorded conversations?
Thanks for your help!
I painfully recognize that the important call i've recorded today halfway through is not recorded! is there a way to repair the audio-file??? its really important :(
I believe you are using an old version. This bug was fixed in version 1.9.0. Please update.
If the file is empty, there's not much you can do. Sorry.
hi, thx for the answer ... the file isn't empty. the first 40 min the recorder recorded everthing quite well. what's more the length of the call is displayed correct in a player. at the 40th minute the curser of the player jump to the end.
the call lasted about 1h 20min, the size of the file ist about 71mb. so everthing seems to be alright.
I really like the program and it works well but sometimes it does not record calls. It says it's on but no call is recorded. There should be a way to see if the call is actually being recorded. It seems to happen if I close the program then restart it then it won't record the call. Happen to me this morning and I was pretty disappointed the call was not recorded. Any ideas why it works sometimes but not others.
I had the same thing happen to me. Did you ever find a solution?
That type of call is it - Incoming or outgoing? Landline? Skype-2-Skype?
I have used the Skype Recorder for several interviews and they are all spiking the audio. My mic works fine, but the incoming audio from the person I am calling is horrible. Is there a way to adjust the input levels on the recorder or skype? Thanks for any help!
What audio setting in Skype Recorder are you using. This will help us to trace the problem.
I have tried 64 and 128. Here is a link to what the problem is: http://www.oldtoby.com/gilbert.htm
Hello. Thanks for example. Is it mono? We are working on this problem. It does appear on some systems. We do our best to fix this in next release.
No, it is in Stereo. I tried mono with another interview and had the same problem. I know it is digital distortion caused by spiking, but there is no way for me to change the input. This problem happens when I call cell phones, landlines or do skype to skype. Thanks for the help, let me know what you find out.
is this software works automatically,without pressing anywhere before conversation starts
How do i get teh recorder started? I click on the red button, but nothing happens. I don't get a screen that shows a plug in authorization. You say to go to New Events, but where is it?
First of all please check if the status string (in the very bottom of Skype Recorder window is showing "Connected to Skype:Recording:On". If it does, then recording should start automatically.
If it shows "waiting for authorization" then check your skype, it should ask for a permission for Skype Call Recorder to access Skype. (please see manual)
To record Skype conversation the red button should be pressed down, this means that Skype recorder is monitoring Skype and will start recording automatically.
What is "Joint Stereo" recording mode? Also, is there a mode that will isolate each side of the conversation to its own track?
Thanks. The product is very nice...

He tanked Madrid and Rome to be fresh and pumped for the big one. Mark my words: Djokovic will win RG. Nadal will be running on fumes. The writing is on the wall.
While Nadal will probably be running on fumes(is already looking pretty slow on court), it's silly to say that Djokovic tanked these events. He clearly wanted to win against Dimitrov even with his physical issues, you could see it in his attitude on court, he kept fighting even though he could have retired after his ankle acted up. And why the hell would he tank against Berdych when being one game away from winning the match?
with 5 setters and his ankle i would be a bit more careful assuming he'll be so ready for RG. he is Not fit ATM. and he didn't simply tank those matches.
Against Dimitrov it looked like he was tanking in the last few games. Definitely not a tank against Berdych. Not meeting Nadal prematurely might turn out to help him in RG though.
I hope you're right but I feel that Novak's missed out on making an even bigger dent in Ralph's psyche thereby making him a big favourite for RG.(similar to 2011)
No way Djokovic came that close to winning and did all that 3rd set running in punishing rallies just to tank vs Berdych. But I do think this is Djoker's year to win the French.
Why would Nadal be running on fumes? He has a week off after Rome, and a day off during the French Open in between matches. Djokovic has had two bad losses by his standards in Madrid and Rome. Djokovic playing a mere 4 matches since winning Monte Carlo isn't exactly the ideal preparation for the French Open.
That's the definition of "tanking". See? You got fooled. The same way Federer tanked against Djokovic in the 2011 US Open semi-finals cause the winner was scheduled to play Nadal in the final. Federer would have nothing left in the tank unless he won in 3, max 4 sets and since Djokovic pushed it to a 5th Federer decided to show the world he's capable of beating him but actually tanked. I hope I cleared this up for you.
I don't believe pro athletes at such a high level tank. Especially considering how good the number 1 player in the world is. His confidence is high vs anyone. Simple as that.
I feel like he tanked this match in order to avoid playing nadal. Not because he cannot beat him, but in order to not reveal his strategies to beat him for their potential roland garros final match up. It is a dishonorable tactic but he is the djoker and it wouldn't surprise me if he did this just to have an edge. Point wise it doesn't affect his number one ranking as he is well ahead of the pack. Cant wait till this ***** loses his number one ranking eventually. Hes such a shady character.
He will peak at the right time for RG, chances of upset in best of 5 are less. Not sure about the tank though; would have been better if he gained even some more confidence against Nadal but anyhoo I get the feeling he will take RG assuming he makes the final.
Lol. If Fed tanked against Djokovic in USO, it would have been in 2010 when Rafa was on fire, not 2011.
He didn't tank. He did go on a walkabout but I don't think it means much. He will still win RG regardless of his results in Madrid and Rome.
Every time a favorite loses, many people on these boards claim: 1) The favorite only lost because he was injured, or 2) The favorite only lost because he tanked. People around here never give credit to the opposing player.
Dammit! Who let he troll of trolls back in? Seriously, she was banned twice already. Enough is enough!
Does anyone around here know anything about professional athletes or sports in general? Professional athletes don't "tank." Djokovic losing like he has in Madrid and Rome is not good for him. There's no other way to slice it. I would have called him the favorite a month ago for RG, but even if Nadal loses to Berd tomorrow of Fed the next day, I now would put Nadal as the favorite to win RG. Djokovic has lost some of his magic since 2011.
Do you know anything about prioritizing in pro sports? Pro athletes in all sports set particular goals for the season, and, then, plan their peaks for certain periods. It may come to you as a shock, but maybe Djokovic did not plan to peak for the entire clay court season. He did the damage in MC. Onto RG. Is that so hard to understand?
Why would you want to peak early, then unpeak for the next two tournaments closest to RG before peaking again during that last tournament. Unless there is some switch that you just turn on when you want to peak.
NO he is the goat genius who strategically loses matches by tanking because without tanking he will win every time. Incredible...the game has never had anyone like him. Put him in the hall of fame right now. every match he loses is a strategic tank.....brilliant!
Why bother with the concept of peaking, if you don't believe in it? There is approximately a month and a half between the final of Monte Carlo and the final of Roland Garros. Unless you are Nadal, playing close to your best all the time during the clay court season will leave you with less in the tank, come crunch time. And there is also Wimbledon to consider. Considering, that Djokovic plays from the beginning of the year, he MUST think about conserving energy. Djokovic did well to shake Nadal's confidence by winning MC. In the grand scheme of things, he plays his cards smart, and has no other significant gains to make by further dominating Nadal in the clay Masters. We saw, that this was not a guarantee for success at RG, so, why trying to do it? The things are different than the previous two seasons prior to RG. Let us see, if he played smart or was just not good enough. I say, that, if he reaches the final at RG, he played his cards smart. If he doesn't , then he was not good enough.
I only have a problem with your concept of peaking, where losing early right before your target tournament is somehow all part of the plan. If he really wanted to conserve energy, he didn't have to play Madrid or Rome at all. His ankle would have been a perfectly valid excuse to pull out. I say please own your theory on how these things work. If you are going to criticise people for not believing that Djokovic's losses were all part of a master plan, then you can admit that if he does lose at any point (making the final doesn't cut it for him, he already achieved that without this method) then his strategic losses can be considered to be a significant contributing factor (for example, he over-rested instead of being match tough)...Or admit that he may not have had such a plan at all and did things such as this because he wasn't going into these tournaments not caring about winning.
LOL, some of you Federer fans are pathetic. I am a Federer fan and it is hard for me to believe some of the crap that is written on here by fellow Fed fans. The reality is this: Djokovic is NOT the favorite for RG and he did not tank Madrid and Rome to be fresh for RG. The fact that he lost in early rounds in Madrid and Rome is NOT good news for him because he will be more likely to lose in an earlier round in RG than Nadal will. Sure, if Djokovic makes it to play Nadal at RG, Djokovic is capable of beating him, but he has to get to him first. How can Djokovic be the favorite for RG when he has only made the final there ONE time whereas Nadal has won the bloody title 7 times. Are people that stupid?
Right on the mark, imho. Top players Do. Not. "Tank", it's not part of their "wanting to win everything"-mindset all of them have, and which is actually an important mental aspect of becoming a top player in the first place. Fact is that Djokovic 2013 is no longer the force he was in 2011, at least he hasn't been for quite a long while now, despite his titles at the AO and in MC. Still the #1, still a great player, but like with every top player, the period of indeed "winning everything" is limited and will at a certain point come to an end. Unexpected losses do happen - even the top guys will experience meeting a guy playing at his best and beating them once in a while. The problem is that the overzealous part of their fandom quite often doesn't want to accept this, and go searching for "explanations". The injury excuse is an obvious rampant major one, but the "he didn't want to meet player X in the next round", or "he doesn't care about these minor tournaments anymore, he's only about the GS now" - aka, TANKING - come as a close second. I've seen exactly the same excuses with certain overzealous Fed fans when he started to lose ground back in 2008-2009. Personally I think it's better to accept the fact that all players are mere humans and capable of losing when meeting an inspired opponent having a good day, and that's what happened to Djokovic both at Madrid and now here in Rome. Whether these losses are an indication for his chances at RG remains to be seen - I'd never make the mistake of writing off a big champion prematurely again (I admit I didn't really think Fed would ever come to get GS #17 last year, but so he did), so let's just wait and see what will happen.
There was so much peace on TW. Clarky writes rubbish for 2 days then gets banned for 4-5 days. Once back again flourishes her litter and again gets banned. The cycle continues. Admins need to figure out a permanent solution to this troll.
The concept of peaking is about increasing your playing levels until a desirable highest point is reached. The road to that highest point/peak is not necessarily the same for everybody. Some players need to play themselves in to form in a series of tournaments, others can crank it up for shorter periods. I am suggesting, that Djokovic has tried the first approach in the past and it didn't work against Nadal on clay, so now he is trying a different tactic: strike, play, but not necessarily to his best abilities (even for the moment), crank it up for the Major. Could you tell me, why do you consider such approach improbable? and Why do you think, that all players should follow the same pattern of playing themselves in in a series of tournaments, instead of concentrating on the Majors? There is a difference, between saying, that he lost intentionally, and saying, that he didn't plan for a high playing level and, as a consequence, he lost because of that playing level. The first suggests, that he tanks matches on purpose, the second suggests, that his losses come as a natural consequence of his intended playing level. What my theory suggests is, that there is not necessarily a link between his form now and his form at RG. The last sentence is overreaction. ANY player cares about winning, once he enters a tournament. However, there is a difference, between wanting to win, and the realisation, what his playing level suggests. Winning a tournament is not only about your form, it is about other players' form. If other players have different approaches (aiming for the tournament as their main purpose, and peaking for it, gradually building up with every upcoming tournament etc.) they might be on a different trajectory, when meeting the said player. Let me give you an example. Nadal is a player, who is playing himself into form in a series of tournaments on clay (he said it himself, that he needs to play a lot, in order to improve his form). He will be getting stronger as the clay tournaments progress and will be slightly before his peak in Rome, seen form a perspective of the series of touranaments on clay, that he plays. Now, that is perfectly sensible strategy for Nadal, because he is Nadal. He has such proficiency on the surface, that most of the time he will beat the opponent ,being far from his best on the surface and not really having to redline and spent himself (which can be crucial in a long series of tournaments/matches. On the other hand, Djokovic is not as proficient on clay, and cannot afford to do that. (Even Federer himself has played to Nadal's rules on clay (not wanting to run from a fight or engage in complicated games) and that might have hurt his chances (but that is speculation, of course, as we will never know)). If he wants to win tournaments he has to be at a very high level all the time (for his standarts on clay) in order to achieve the same things as Nadal, and that means, that he must spend more energy, than his main rival at RG at the moment. That leads to the natural conclusion, that, IF he cannot do the same as Nadal he has to find another way, that is more suitable for his abilities. Not cranking it up too early is essential for his chances (I thought the same about Federer through the years of his rivalry with Nadal on clay). I also do not agree, that going to the final wouldn't cut it. You choose to look at this matter as though the glass is half empty, while I choose to look at the matter as though the glass is half full. If he reaches the final it will be a clear departure from his form in Madrid and Rome. I say, that it will be a strong contrast, to say the least, reaching the final of a Major, in comparison with losing very early in a M1000 series tournaments. And, of course, that, if he reaches the final and loses it, it will not be a tell tell sign, whether his losses are deliberate as you put it (they were not, he just didn't intend to play on a higher level). It may still not be enough to win RG, as the physical preparation is only one part of the successful formula. The other two parts are the psychological game (which he played very well this season) and the actual proficiency of the player on the surface at the moment, with the last being the most important part of all three.
I don't see that happening at all. There's no way he can be feeling very confident going into RG at this point. Suffering inexplicable losses to Dimitrov and now Berdych. I mean they are good players, but he shouldn't have lost to them. Especially not to Berdych after leading 5-2 in the second set... That's absurd. Right now in my book, Nadal's the favorite to win the french, then Fed, then Djokovic.
Why is it inexplicable, that Djokovic lost to Dimitrov or Berdych? Djokovic is not Nadal, that he is not prone to early upsets, when he is not playing on his or close to his best level. And even Nadal was close to losing against Dimitrov on clay a couple of weeks ago. The only thing, that the people register correctly is, that Djokovic is not dominating everybody at the moment. Hardly a surprising fact. Yes, Nadal has always been the favourite for winning the French. In my book the favourites to win the French are Nadal and then Djokovic. As much as I want to see Federer one more time in the final, I think that his chances at the moment are lower than Djokovic's. And, everybody seems to forget, that Djokovic might be nursing an ankle injury, that he needs to be careful about, if he doesn't want to cripple himself for RG and Wimbledon.
He lost, simple as that. If he doesn't pick his game up, he won't even make it to Nadal. Djokovic's game has become so Anti-Nadal, perfectly designed to dethroning the King, that it is actually vulnerable against more of the field. He needs to get through the field, before he even can think about the King.
Well, I don't necessarily agree with that. I think from time to time, all of the top players have tanked. For example Djokovic has tanked in many big events imo, even in his great 2011 year, after the USO, he tanked a few events. But I certainly do not think he would tank two of the big tune-ups prior to the FO this year given the fact that he has stated on many occasions that his big goal for the year is to win the FO. That makes no sense. Yep, I agree. Yes, good post.
Yes, good post. We know he can beat Nadal if he gets to him but he seems to have lost a little of the larger plot along the way, losing to some of these players he really should not lose to en route to Nadal or Federer.
I was having a discussion with zagor after the MC final, and we went over the patterns of play. It was clearly obvious that Djokovic had been doing some serious modifications in his game. Nadal had some new strategies that he used in 2012 to unsettle Djokovic, but the way Djokovic had created that anti-strike to Nadal's pattern of play, putting him back into neutral or even worse, into defense with just one shot was staggering. He was not using those patterns against anyone else, but Nadal. Nadal was clueless in his response. Problem here is when your game becomes so perfect for dismantling one player, as Djokovic's game clearly is for Nadal, for others those patterns of play make you vulnerable, and I think we've seen a little of that recently. He has got to take Nadal out of his mind for now and firstly focus on how gets to him at RG. With Federer now possible number two seed, he can only face Federer after he faces Nadal, if that ever happens.
You're probably right. Perhaps I should have added "... in big events" to my sentence. And both MC and Rome are Big Events. I do see a difference in both losses - at MC he didn't play badly, just got beaten by a player on the rise having a better day than himself. The loss in Rome, however... the match was on his racket! A typical case of a mental check-out, Djoko in Jelenaland, so to say. Reminiscent of Fed in Toronto/Montreal against Tsonga a couple of years ago, where about the same thing happened. I wonder whether these mental absences may or may-not be a sign of mental fatigue. Should such be the case with Djoko right now, he'll have his work cut out for him for the upcoming RG.
I am bad at writing long posts, make myself avoid them so sorry and thanks for taking the time. Will just say that history has shown that winning lead up events is not necessary for winning slams, even for a momentum guy like Nadal. On the other hand I still think Djokovic's losses were more unwanted blunders on his part (for lack of a better phrase, credit to the opponent of course) than laying off full throttle and being prepared to deal with the consequences, or however you want to describe it. In other words he would not really be satisfied with how things went / it was not his ideal preparation but the world is not perfect anyway and he still has good reason to be confident for RG.
And I suppose he tanked IW and Miami too? :-? I find his losses to Delpo and Berd more worrisome than those to Haas and Dimi because Delpo and Berd are top players that he will keep meeting regularly (and neither of them qualifies as early round mishap) and until now he had owned them (on any surface other than grass). I wish Novak a prompt recovery from whatever is bothering him right now but at this point, nobody will be surprised if his RG 2013 looks more like 2009 or 2010 than 2011 and 2012 (or better). ETA: Rafa's form really doesn't matter in terms of Novak's chances at RG. Novak's current problem is not Rafa, it's pretty much anyone else and anyone else is who he is gonna have to face at RG until at least the semi.
That's assuming OP is a Fed fan, it's hard to tell with all this idiotic jinxing (and multiple accounts IMO) that is so prevalent on this forum these days. That said yes, while Novak remains the one with the best possible chance of beating Nadal at the FO he's also far more vulnerable against the field on the surface, Nadal is still the firm favourite for the FO. I don't think top pros are averse to tanking in certain events (like say Paris masters) but I do think Novak wanted to win Rome (especially after losing very early in Madrid) and find it riidiculous people think he waited until he was serving for a straight sets win to start tanking. I find it strange you agree, when it comes to potentially winning the FO, Novak is still miles ahead of Fed right now IMO, if you want to win the FO chances are you're gonna have to go through Nadal to do it. I mean it's a stretch to say that Novak is more vulnerable to the field on clay than Fed is right now but even if that were true Fed's advantage would be slight at best and not nearly enough to make up for Novak having a much better chance at actually beating Nadal at the FO this year.
The one positive for Novak is that he won M-C. That's a really big clay win and it's really big that he obtained it by beating 8 time champ Nadal and no one can take that feat away from him.
I think there's another possibility here, while losses to Berdych and Dimitrov may not be part of some great Novak's plan and/or due to him consciously giving less effort to save himself for the FO as you claim, this loss may still work to his benefit, as you said we'll find out soon enough.
I still think overall Federer is the better clay court player over Djokovic (even though clay is clearly Fed's worst surface) but it all depends what version of Federer decides to show up these days, and so far this year he has looked awful after the AO until now. All of a sudden he looks a lot better in Rome. I think if Federer has any chance to beat Nadal on clay again, this tournament may be the place he can do it. Wishful thinking perhaps? I think Djokovic is even more prone to upsets at the FO than Federer is even at Fed's advanced age, but we shall see. I do think if Djokovic can make it through the early rounds at the FO, he has a good chance to beat Nadal and Federer there. Right now my opinion is that Nadal is the favorite for the FO.
Why would a sane professional number 1 ranked sportsman tank? the further Novak goes in competitions the more ranking points he'll win or defend, the more money he'll win and I'm sure he loves playing the big guns ie Nadal, Federer and then..........Murray
QFT.............. Rafito can win the Rome Masters as well. But at the end iof the day, FO is the most important. He can give the Rome Masters to Berdych or Fed, just as long as Rafa holds the FO 2013 Championship. That is fine by me.

Phillies Look to Sweep Rockies At Home
Posted By Tom Bopp On Jun 21 2012 @ 2:57 pm In Philadelphia Phillies | No Comments
The Phillies are looking to get their 10 game home stand off on a positive note by sweeping the stumbling Rockies at home. The fans in South Philly haven't had much to cheer about this year, the Phillies have been one of the worst home teams in Major League Baseball this year and with the trade deadline approaching there are still questions swirling around the team and its future. For the moment though things have been on the uptick. Granted the Rockies are 1-11 in their last 12 games and are missing their best player, star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, but a series sweep is a series sweep and the Phil's are on the cusp of their first since taking two in a row from the Cubs in mid May. In game 1 Cole Hamels won is tenth decision of the year, giving him almost a third of the Phillies wins and continuing his fantastic pitching. The question will soon become should the Phillies trade one of their three aces to gain more pieces at the trading deadline or should they hold on to him and try to sign him in the off season when he becomes a free agent. Perhaps they should consult the Orlando Magic, but in the mean time Hamels has been sensational and I would imagine most Phillies fans would prefer him to stick around, but with each victory and brilliant performance the price tag and leverage for Cole and his agent grows. Carlos Ruiz has been another bright spot for the Phillies. How this man is third on the National League All Star voting for catchers is borderline criminal, besides his always outstanding defense behind the plate and above average throwing arm he's had a career year at the plate, batting .354 with 9 home runs, 38 RBI and an OBP of .422. Like Hamels he came up big on Tuesday night with a key double in the 5th and a homer in the 7th to seal the deal for the Phillies while Jimmy Rollins continued his hot play of late with 3 runs, 2 hits and 2 walks.
Wednesday night saw the Phil's grab another victory taking advantage of a late error by the typically smooth fielding veteran Todd Helton to secure a 7-6 victory. This one got a little closer than it should have though, Jonathon Papelbon gave up a tie breaking single to Dexter Fowler in the ninth but the Phillies came back in their half of the last inning. The Phil's were down to the their last out and it appeared to be all but over until off season acquisition Ty Wigginton singled which was followed by a double off the wall curtsey of Hunter Pence which drove Wigginton in. Carlos Ruiz was intentionally walked and Shane Victorino beat out an infield single. Placido Polanco then hit a grounder to short which should have ended the game. Marco Scutaro's throw was a little high, but Todd Helton was able to snag it, the only problem was that he wasn't touching first base. This sort of late inning rally based on timely hitting and a little luck are the types of victories the Phillies have been searching for all year. It could be a positive sign and possibly something that could kick start a run for the Phillies during their ten game home stand. One negative that came out of the victory is Papelbon. He is a perfect 17-17 in save situations with an ERA of 0.00. In non save situations, however he has given up 7 earned runs in 10 and 1/3rd innings, a pretty scary distinction. As the Phillies try and close the deal on a sweep tonight they may be able to use this momentum and hope they can get a good outing out of Vance Worley at Citizens Bank Park tonight.

The K702 sounds to me more natural and way more balanced, with the 880 you can hear some upper mids/ treble spikes (very annoying) as well there is a minimum depth in the soundstage of the 880...mostly L-to-R soundstage. Beyer fixed the depth in the T1, but they kept the upper mids spikes as a Beyer sounds signature.
Here is more info,
So there you go, OP. Now you know what two people think and, as usual on Head-Fi, it's the exact opposite of each other.
lol So true! Thanks Acix, I have had a good read through those threads. T1 is a bit more than I wanna spend, trying to keep under £200 if poss.

BOWLING GREEN - Wood County Common Pleas Judge Robert Pollex agreed yesterday to early release from prison for a Bowling Green woman who took part in a 2007 bank robbery.
Marijane Tripp, 22, was granted judicial release after serving about 16 months of a four-year sentence. She pleaded guilty in 2008 to robbery, arson, unlawful possession or use of a hoax weapon of mass destruction, and tampering with evidence stemming from a Nov. 9, 2007, holdup of the Huntington Bank branch on South Main Street.
As part of her release from prison, Tripp was placed on community control sanctions for three years, which included orders to complete 300 hours of community service, pay a $500 fine, complete a substance-abuse evaluation and recommendations, consume no alcohol or drugs, and have no contact with her co-defendant, Joel Westfall, or with Huntington Bank.

Which nba superstar do you think will most likely be traded next season, or signed as a free agentn another team?
I don't think Starbury is trade-able. And Bird surely knows he'll be better off building around JO than building without him. BBen isn't going anywhere. So, I'd say it's between AI and KG, with KG being personally more receptive to a move than AI, and therefore more likely to be moved. Look out Windy City.
I think JO will go. He's just not the same player, and when he came back to the lineup with peja the pacers played worse. AI might get traded, but he gives that BS team a chance every night no matter what people think.
^^^I agree. O'Neal is still young and would be a great addition for many teams, while the Pacers have gone as far as they can with this roster. It's a deal begging to happen.

From The Infosphere, the Futurama Wiki
Thundercougarfalconbird | |
Type | Hovercar |
Inventor | Ford |
First appearance | "Put Your Head on My Shoulders" (2ACV07) |
The Thundercougarfalconbird is a hovercar manufactured by Ford and sold by Malfunctioning Eddie at his Rocket Car Emporium by the Thundercougarfalconbird salesman. Told that its masculinity removes all doubt of the owner's sexuality, Fry was extremely tempted by the car in 3001 and nearly bought it. [2ACV07] In 3010, Lrrr bought a red 3011 Thundercougarfalconbird, while he was facing a mid-life crisis. [6ACV11] He is later seen driving it through a Fishy Joe's drive-thru (likely against Ndnd's wishes). [6ACV22]
Additional Info[edit]
- The Thundercougarfalconbird is a satirical mash-up of several American sports car names: the Ford Thunderbird, the Mercury Cougar, the Ford Falcon, and perhaps the Pontiac Firebird.

Santana says he's 'bueno' for Monday start
[caption id="attachment_118072" align="alignleft" width="233" caption="Ervin Santana (AP)"][/caption]
Angels right-handed starter Ervin Santana says he will be able to make his scheduled start on Monday against the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Santana, the Angels projected No. 3 starter, threw bullpen on Saturday and Sunday and reported no lingering effects of being hit in the throwing shoulder by a line drive in Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz.
Because he left the game in the second inning after throwing only 32, Santana did not reach his 45-pitch target in his second outing and is "a little behind," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Santana had been working on pitch location in that start.
In two starts, Santana is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA. He has given up two runs (both earned) on two hits and two walks in 3 1/3 innings while striking out five.
Here are other health updates:
* Backup catcher Bobby Wilson (calf), who hasn't played since March 10, will be available to play on Monday.
* Starting catcher Chris Iannetta (right elbow contusion) caught bullpen sessions on Sunday and took batting practice but is at least three days from throwing drills.
* Infielder Maicer Izturis, who has been hampered by hamstring tightness, will participate in baserunning drills on Monday.
-- Reporting from Tempe, Ariz.

Legacy Audio Intros the Whisper XD |
Home Theater News Floorstanding Loudspeakers News | |
Wednesday, 16 December 2009 | |
The Whisper XD speaker system from Legacy Audio offers a unique look and impressive feature set. These six foot tall towers are designed to create a much larger sweet spot than tradition speakers while maintaining audio integrity.
A differential alignment, similar to that of a duel element microphone, is used to help cancel out off-angle audio. By doing this, Legacy aims to eliminate boundary interactions from walls and ceilings. The Whisper XD is split into two baffles, driven one behind the other. Two fifteen inch woofers are positioned just four inches from eachother on each of the two baffles. Legacy asks us to imagine them as being similar to magnetic caterpillar on the Red October. A neodymium ribbon tweeter and pleated ribbon super tweeter take care of things on the high end. For the mids, four cast frame drivers with silver-graphite/rohacell diaphragms. The Whisper XD is a 24-bit system, and even lets you drive it with your tube of choice. The Whisper XD system runs $20,000 for the standard finish, with added cost for premium prices. |

International and Intertemporal Comparisons of Real Product in OECD Countries: A Growth Sensitivity Analysis
This paper provides two new data sets for comparisons of real income in OECD countries. The first set provides adjusted real series for GDP and its components from 1960 to 1993 based on OECD 1990 purchasing power parities. The second set uses OECD PPP of different benchmark years, and interpolates these applying national price indices. Comparisons between both alternatives, Penn World Table Mark 5 (PWT 5) and its new version (PWT 5.6), in terms of economic growth and convergence, reveal some remarkable differences. Moreover, there are wider differences concerning the relative countries' position in GDP per capita ranking. Estimations of convergence equations based on OECD data yield a better fit than those obtained using PWT data, although there are also some significant differences between PWT 5 and PWT 5.6. Nevertheless, a very positive result is that other parameters of interest in these equations are not affected by the use of these different data sources.

Judge: Indiana hasn't given valid reason for gay marriage ban
INDIANAPOLIS — A federal judge has said that attorneys defending Indiana's gay marriage ban haven't given a valid reason why the state should not recognize the out-of-state marriage of a lesbian couple, one of whom has a terminal illness.
U.S. District Judge Richard Young's written order, issued Friday, outlined the rationale behind his decision earlier this month to grant Niki Quasney and Amy Sandler a temporary restraining order that bars the state from enforcing its gay marriage ban against their union.
The federal order applied only to Quasney and Sandler, even though they were part of a larger lawsuit involving several gay couples. Indiana does not recognize same-sex marriages performed inside or outside of the state.
The Munster couple had asked Indiana to recognize their marriage, which took place in Massachusetts, one of 17 states where gay marriage is legal. Quasney and Sandler have been together 13 years and they have two daughters, ages 1 and 2, conceived through "reproductive technology" and birthed by Sandler, according to court records.
Quasney has stage 4 ovarian cancer, and the couple had argued that the court should grant their request because "they have an urgent need to have their marriage recognized." Young ordered the state on April 10 to recognize their marriage on Quasney's death certificate when it is issued. Quasney is still alive.
In the 11-page order issued Friday, Young said he granted the request partly because the couple is likely to succeed in having Indiana's gay marriage ban declared unconstitutional. He also said that Quasney's terminal illness required urgent action.
"The Equal Protection Clause requires states to treat people equally under the law," wrote Young, who was appointed in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton. "If the state wishes to differentiate between people and make them unequal, then it must have at least a legitimate purpose."
He also said his decision was due in part to a wave of similar rulings in other states, including two that dealt with terminally ill partners.
Temporary restraining orders cannot be appealed, but the attorney general's office said in a statement Monday that it would continue to defend Indiana's gay marriage ban at the next stage in court.
"County clerks are still prohibited by law from issuing marriage licenses to other same-sex couples," spokesman Bryan Corbin said.
Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher argued at the April 10 hearing in Evansville that the state has an interest in limiting marriage to couples who can have children. But Young noted in the order that the state routinely recognizes the marriages of couples who are too old to reproduce, and gay couples can form families in other ways.
He also wrote that the state's decision to not recognize gay marriages performed out of state didn't hold up because Indiana recognizes other marriages that take place outside of the state and violate Indiana laws, such as marriages between first cousins.
Lambda Legal, the national gay rights group that represented Quasney and Sandler, had no immediate comment.

They said in the Ask Andy forum that if you call your local Wal-Mart and give them this bar code "8 54269 00442 8" they might be able to get a jacket shipped from another store to yours.
Hello. You were in one of those threads over there discussing the jacket. Interesting thread.
I'm going to ask my tailor if she can give the jacket some waist suppression. She's done a very amazing job on every jacket I've given her so far.
Here's a pic they had in that thread of (supposedly) one of the Harris Tweed jackets. It looks like there's a lot of waist supression on this one:
WAY too hot. Shoot, in the midst of our summers I feel like I'm being strangled just wearing a lightweight cotton shirt with the top couple of buttons undone and nothing underneath.
These jackets are really thick, heavy tweed. I have three other tweed jackets I got from thrift shops and the Wal-Mart jacket is heavier than all of them.
It's good for wearing it where I work cause they keep it cold in here all year.
Hey, I went to a few Wal-Marts in New Jersey because I had business nearby this weekend. They had some jackets in NJ and I tried on a 42L. I thought it fit me way better than the 44L. The shoulders are still a little wide but i can live with this. I bought one of the grey (Dalmore?) jackets. I'm returning the 44l today. Here's a pic (as promised):
I would post a side pic but my posture sucks on the one i took so I'll retake one...heh heh
They had about a dozen jackets at the Hamilton, NJ Wal-Mart from 38 to 48.
I also went to the Wal-Marts in Frederick and Hagerstown MD to look for jackets in other colors. They had a shitload of jackets at the Frederick store (probably at least 20) and I got the Dalmore jacket there. I got the herringbone jacket at the Hamilton NJ store. They had over a dozen at the Hagerstown MD store but none my size.
If you know what size fits you I'd recommend getting one while they're still available.
For $50.00 you can't really go wrong!
Re: the "boxieness". Mind you, this is off the rack.
I just had on some jeans and an old t-shirt. I had just finished riding my bike about twenty miles.
I wanted to get the pics taken before it got too dark. First time i used a tripod I bought a couple of months ago.
You know what they say...opinions are like...
BTW- This ain't a "Fit" pic anyway. I'm just showing that the Harris Tweed SC aren't that bad. Well, it is and it isn't. I don't give a damn what anyone thinks I look like with it on. I just want to let the interested forum members who haven't been able to try them on know that they may like them.

Reply to: | Names for Twins by David |
Teacups, a regular poster here, gave a very informative post on Chewa names once. I'm sorry I'm not good at searching, but perhaps someone else can find it for you.Congratulations and good luck with your twin sons! I love that you want to use their native names. It will be very distinguished and distinctive on them. Try saying that three times quickly. :-D
P.S. I can't help putting in a pitch for the middle name of Thomas for one of them. It means twin. Just a thought.

Welcome to Hollywood Michael Roskam. The director made waves with his Oscar-nominated "Bullhead" last year, and is now seeing the buzz turn into some palpable projects. Last week HBO ordered up a pilot of "Buda Bridge," a futuristic crime series he'll direct, with Michael Mann producing, and now he's stepping into his first bonafide Hollywood film, with some more big names backing him up.
Roskam will direct "The Tiger," a project previously linked to director Darren Aronofsky that had Angelina Jolie rumored to star. And while that latter incarnation didn't happen, Aronofsky is still on board to produce, while Jolie's partner Brad Pitt is lending his skills in that department as well. Not too shabby. Based on the book by John Valliant, the story takes place in 1997 and follows an animal activist who must protect the small Siberian town he is in when a tiger begins attacking its inhabitants. And speaking of talent, Guillermo Arriaga ("Babel," "Amores Perros") wrote the screenplay, and it marks the first time he's penned something based on someone else's work.
So to summarize: Roskam + Aronofsky + Pitt + Arriaga for a film set up over at Focus Features. Like we said, welcome to Hollywood Michael Roskam. Damn. [Deadline]

Bill Gates Sr. on Bill Gates, family and philanthropy
Posted by Kristi Heim
Bill Gates Sr., lawyer, philanthropist and father of the richest man in the world, grew up in fear of being poor. He still eats at Burgermaster, and he turns the lights off every time he leaves a room, a lesson from the Great Depression. Gates has just published a memoir of the values and experiences that shaped his 83 years, called "Showing up for Life," which he discusses in this recent interview.
Q: You sum up your book's main point as "we are in this life together and we need each other." Is this a world view?
A: It's a world view. It's easy to have this sharing of responsibility among people, particularly among neighborhoods. We've clearly gotten to the point where there's a sense of sharing 7,000 miles away. There's really nothing complicated about it. A simple business of recognizing to start with we are all so interdependent. There's just no getting around it. We have to be helpful to each other or it would be an impossible world. This is not only good religion but very practical for economy and humanity.
Q: You described part of your childhood in the Depression, when your father walked home and collected chunks of coal by the side of the road for heat. What lasting effect did that have on you?
A: It's there. I never leave a room empty without turning the lights out. That is absolutely a habit learned from my father. I'm very surprised at the number of people today that don't turn out the lights when they leave, including relatives of mine. To some extent that's a product of this basic sense that comfort and a good life are always at risk, and there is another thing that happens to people called poverty. My children really don't have any notion of that.
Q: What has moved you the most in your travels?
A: A couple months ago I was in India with Bill and we went back into this slum area to see a little girl, Hashmin, who had contracted polio. It was a terrible thing against this worldwide very muscular effort going on to rid the world of polio. It was very affecting to see this little girl, but at the same time very energizing to continue the pressure on this subject.
I can remember as a father thinking about the possibility of my children getting polio. No parent thinks about that anymore because it doesn't happen.... The trip in India was the first time I'd been on an overseas (foundation) trip with Bill. It was something he organized and we had his two sisters along as well.
Q: You've spent more than 10 years working at the Gates Foundation, where you're one of three co-chairs. What do you think have been its most successful and least successful efforts?
A: Set aside all the things in progress. We don't have any grade for them up or down. Some things we are doing are so long term. A vaccine for AIDS ... we've got a good many years ahead of us before we have the answer if it's a useful exercise or a waste of time.
I do think the delivery of vaccines in the poor world ... couldn't be left out of the list of positive results of the foundation's work. Literally millions of kids are receiving the vaccines. Without putting figures on it, at least thousands of kids who had the benefit of a good regimen of vaccines are not going to get sick and die prematurely.
The work we're doing in education, while it's been very good and delivered a lot of value to kids is something we've decided the strategy we were using ... wasn't a bit clear [whether] it was ever going to go to scale, and we needed to look at other factors than the size of high schools ... and think about things that were a bit more fundamental, like the quality of teaching and the standards we've applied to judge our own success.
Q: What is the biggest change since your son started working at the foundation full time?
A: There's nothing very big in terms of fundamental changes. He and Melinda continue to be the ultimate deciders in the most important issues that come along. The change I notice is he and she, particularly he, are there more often and as a result participate more in understanding the new projects and status of old projects. They're just more involved.
Q: Do you ever get veto power?
A: No.
Q: In your philanthropy work with your son, are there any areas where you didn't see eye to eye on an issue?
A: He and I have a different view about the duration of a life of a foundation. He is of the school that believes they should not be perpetual and they should end, and I am a believer in the perpetual foundation. I don't know that it's actually a major difference of opinion. This foundation is going to end at a precisely defined time. People like Rockefeller [Foundation] are going to go on until who knows.
Q: Why do you believe in perpetual foundations?
A: It's bad to spend all the money when you have a large corpus working and earning funds. I think when you finally spend it all it's a wonderful gift to someone or something... 10 or 20 times the size of grants you've been making up to that point, so that's good stuff. But then it's over and all the things that are under way and good things that might be [are not funded] because it's gone.
Q: What do you think about the criticism that the foundation is too heavily focused on technology solutions?
A: Actually I don't think there's any validity to that. It seems to me kind of nonsense. It's a question of what works. We've got so many lessons over the past decade about technology contributing to efficiency, accomplishing things that otherwise would be impossible. To be honest I don't understand what technology the critics are talking about. If they mean vaccines, it's sheer nonsense. There's isn't any question of the value of creating a vaccine that would rid the world of malaria.
Q: What about the criticism that the foundation has too much influence because of its enormous assets, yet only a small number of people making decisions -- three co-chairs and three trustees.
A: We try to ameliorate that in the case of three major program advisory groups with knowledgeable, mature experienced people who get together and review the programs. Getting their input and advice is a fairly significant safeguard against the potential for bad decisions with such a very few minds working on it.
Another thing that wouldn't be obvious is the whole business of mature, experienced personnel that have everything to do with what we do and decide to do. We have people in global health who know as much about global health as there is to know. The decisions of what we're doing go though that mechanism to start with.
There's a lot of safeguards against it both in additional outside advice and internal expertise. But I go on to say in a hurry, notwithstanding, that we very likely will miss one somewhere here or there. I would just offer the same thing is true with foundations that have 50-person boards or 15-person boards.
Q: Getting back to raising Bill Gates, I read about the famous water-throwing incident at the table. At some point you realized you could not control him.
A: I couldn't control myself was the problem. Nobody can really control their kids -- it's just [a] natural universal phenomenon. Kids get to the point they begin to feel their selfness, their worthiness and that naturally generates a resistance to somebody imposing their will on them. That was the garden variety problem we were dealing with. It started at a bit younger age because he started thinking very independently and thoughtfully at an earlier age than at most kids.
Q: What are the values you imparted to him?
A: I guess I would think about what values he has and go on and say we played some part in all of that, but incidentally not a controlling part -- his curiosity, his energy, getting answers to things, his sense of the appropriateness of hard work. Being a hard worker, which he clearly is and was, he had some examples of around his own household, although I would say not solely credited to us. But his sense of the interdependency of humanity, of him and others in the world, is something he got at least some confirmation of around the dinner table at home.
Q: And what characteristics of his surprise you ... that you don't recognize in yourself?
A: I suppose his well known proclivity for being argumentative and even ... quite challenging of the suggestions and ideas that other people are expressing. It's wonderful to sit around the table with him when people are talking about what makes sense and what doesn't make sense but he comes into those discussions very strongly. It's an indication of his immense self confidence. It's a characteristic I'm not going to be able to explain where it came from.
Q: In your book you talk about attending church, and your wife quoted a passage from the Bible at your son's wedding. Do you think faith in any way motivates your son's philanthropy now?
A: I think I'll stay away from that. You can ask him that question someday.
Update: Gates will discuss his book May 19 at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Legends & Leaders program.

(doe byoo' ta meen)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Your doctor has ordered dobutamine to improve your heart function. The drug will be added to an intravenous fluid that will drip through a needle or catheter placed in your vein over 12 hours, usually every other day.
Dobutamine is used to help your heart pump better by strengthening the heart muscle. Dobutamine also improves blood flow and relieves symptoms of heart failure. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Your health care provider (doctor, nurse, or pharmacist) may measure the effectiveness and side effects of your treatment using laboratory tests and physical examinations. It is important to keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. The length of treatment depends on how you respond to the medication.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before administering dobutamine,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to dobutamine or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially antidepressants, beta blockers (atenolol, carteolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, propranolol, sotalol, and timolol), bretylium, guanethidine, and vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart valve disease or high blood pressure.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking dobutamine, call your doctor immediately.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Before you administer dobutamine, look at the solution closely. It should be clear and free of floating material. Gently squeeze the bag or observe the solution container to make sure there are no leaks. Do not use the solution if it is discolored, if it contains particles, or if the bag or container leaks. Use a new solution, but show the damaged one to your health care provider.
It is important that you use your medication exactly as directed. Do not stop your therapy on your own for any reason. Do not change your dosing schedule without talking to your health care provider. Your health care provider may tell you to stop your infusion if you have a mechanical problem (such as a blockage in the tubing, needle, or catheter); if you have to stop an infusion, call your health care provider immediately so your therapy can continue.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Dobutamine may cause side effects. Tell your health care provider if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- upset stomach
- vomiting
- tingling sensations
• fever
- leg cramps
- headaches
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your health care provider immediately:
- irregular heartbeat
- increases in blood pressure and heart rate
- chest pain
- shortness of breath
- swelling of the lower legs and ankles
- increasing fatigue
- lightheadedness, dizziness, or faintness
- skin rash
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication?
- Your health care provider probably will give you several days supply of dobutamine at a time. You may be told to store it in a cool, dry area or in the refrigerator.
- If you refrigerate your dose, take your next dose from the refrigerator 1 hour before using it; place it in a clean, dry area to allow it to warm to room temperature.
Store your medication only as directed. Make sure you understand what you need to store your medication properly.
Keep your supplies in a clean, dry place when you are not using them, and keep all medications and supplies out of reach of children. Your health care provider will tell you how to throw away used needles, syringes, tubing, and containers to avoid accidental injury.
What should I do in case of OVERDOSE?
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What are the SIGNS OF AN INFECTION?
If you are receiving dobutamine in your vein or under your skin, you need to know the symptoms of a catheter-related infection (an infection where the needle enters your vein or skin). If you experience any of these effects near your intravenous catheter, tell your health care provider as soon as possible:
- tenderness
• warmth
- irritation
- drainage
• redness
- swelling
• pain

We installed this floor in the bedroom. Since we have several pets, accidents on the previously carpeted floor were becoming a problem. I chose this product after seeing it used on several DIY network home improvement shows. The wood grain look and color perfectly matched my hardwood floors in adjacent rooms and would be resistant to the pet accidents. I love the look and the feel of the finished floor. It only took about 6 hours to remove the carpet, prep the concrete floor, lay the underlayment and install the flooring in a 13 x 19 room. We had to trim 3/4" from our starting row to fit a doorway. We placed masking tape on the face side of the plank and drew our cut line on the tape. This made it easy to see the cut line and protected the face from nicks from the blade. A speed square made the straight cuts a breeze. A rubber mallet was wonderful in tightening the joints.
This flooring is easy to install, especially in a rectangular room. It would be a bit more difficult if the room had a lot of corners or angles only because the cutting calculations would be a bit more complicated.
I love this floor. It is easy to clean with a broom or dust mop and can be wet mopped or steam cleaned.
Best Uses
installed in kitchen and two bathrooms. After two weeks seems to be great.
We bought to install for new RV flooring because this is our second floor with Tranquility in a RV setting. Easy to use, looks great,easy to clean. Looks great. I highly recommend this product to anyone.
Best Uses
I'm a chemist, not a floor installer. My knees and legs were very sore after a day of installation. Remember this for doing it yourself. The floor itself looks good, and took about a day for an 11' x 11' room. The tiles trimmed quickly and easily, but I found that my roto saw was the best tool for cutting odd shapes around baseboards and doors.
Best Uses
After a little practice of fitting and cutting the boards the installation was very easy and looks professionally done. Must have quality kneepads.
Best Uses
We had it installed in our family room, which was originally a garage. We had installed indoor/outdoor carpet many years ago, and it was thrashed. We decided to go with a different look, and this flooring has warmed up the space so much. It looks like wood, but it is so durable, and it was a very reasonable price! We love it!
Service and delivery comments:
We had to order the flooring from Virginia, because the two local stores didn't have enough of the style we wanted. The delivery took quite a while, but it was worth the wait. It arrive in good condition and looks fabulous - even better than we had anticipated. Customer Service was okay, but the clerks in the Miramar store were very helpful, and the final installers were great!
Best Uses
Great flooring! After installing it in my kitchen and dining room, I decided to do the rest of my house also. Scratches when heavy furniture is moved across it, but is easily replaced. Use ply wood before moving furniture.
Service and delivery comments:
Service at Lumber Liquidators was awesome. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Best Uses
It's easy to install after you watch the video & figure out the right way to do it & once you get enough done so you have room to position yourself on the side where you can pull it toward you to click it in place. After that, it went very smoothly. Looks great! I'm am very particular & am impressed at how nice it looks. We matched it as closely as we could to the adjoining dining room floor. We will use it in other rooms we are planning to remodel including 2.5 bathrooms & a basement. Very happy with the product. By the way, price was the best price we found locally. Online stores had a little lower prices but with the shipping costs, it was a little more than what we paid locally.

MAINTENANCE (Dos and DONTs)Q:
Is any type of underlayment (padding) required to be layed before installation? Also, how do you maintain this flooring? The instructions say not to use soap or a wet mop but they do not state what to use instead.1 answer
TRANQUILITY may be installed with or without an underlayment. When doing so, the recommended underlayments are Bellawood Premium and ECO Silent Sound. These high quality underlayments best support the joints while ensuring superior thermal and sound reduction qualities. To maintain this floor sweep or vacuum regularly. Use cleaning products safe for vinyl planks such as our Bellawood floor cleaner.

Oh men!
In few months, two semi-friends of mine (who don't know each others) said me I am a Star Trek's Vulcan. The funny things is that generally people interpret it as a sort of insult, while I am almost happy to hear that.
So, I always struggle between being INTJ or INTP (another vulcan could be an ISTJ, but I am pretty sure I am not istj), and I'd like to know...
Is it more an INTP who can be perceived as Vulcan or is it more of INTJ in your opinion?
Has anyone said that to you?
Thanks, bye.
