SAO PAULO — Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets on Sunday to demand that embattled President Dilma Rousseff – facing a weak economy and calls for her impeachment – be removed from office.
Rousseff is fighting for her political life, standing accused of illegal budgeting maneuvers that she says were long-accepted practices by previous governments.
A one-time political prisoner during the military regime, she calls the attempt to bring her down a "coup."
"Time has shown that Dilma is unable to govern. She's thrown the country down a well," argued Adriano de Queiroz, 36, a protester in the capital Brasilia.
If there was any good news for her on Sunday, it was that turnout at the rallies seen as a barometer of national mood was less than expected.
Just days ago, pro-Rousseff and opposition deputies pushed and screamed during voting to form an impeachment commission.
But protesters were much calmer on Sunday, marching peacefully behind a giant inflatable Rousseff dressed up as Pinocchio in Brasilia.
The turnout hit about 81,000 nationwide with 39 cities reporting demonstrations, according to police cited by the Globo television network.
About 30,000 rallied in the country's wealthy industrial and financial hub Sao Paulo, it said.
Organisers, meanwhile, insisted that overall turnout was really 385,000, Globo reported.
Either way, the turnout was a sharp contrast to the 2.4 million anti-Rousseff marchers that took to the streets on March 15.
Fourth national protest wave
It was the fourth time this year that demonstrators across the sprawling nation demonstrated to demand the removal of Brazil's first female president.
The turmoil is stirring passions across the South American country of 204 million, where Rousseff's Workers' Party has been in power since 2003 with the help of its ally PMDB.
And the protests come as Brazil readies for an international close-up – in a matter of months, Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Summer Olympics, the first time the Games will be held in South America.
Political uncertainty is also adding to the country's economic woes, with GDP down 4.5 per cent in the third quarter year-on-year, and the national currency down a third against the dollar this year.
A vast corruption scandal centered on state oil giant Petrobras has also put a hole in investor confidence.
Economic downturn gathers pace
In the latest sign of the dismal economy, the government announced year-on-year inflation for November of 10.48 per cent – the highest in 12 years.
With her popularity ratings at only 10 per cent, Rousseff has little political muscle and the impeachment push in part reflects the country's anger at multiple crises, including the corruption scandal at state oil giant Petrobras.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court suspended for one week the commission that will recommend whether or not Congress should impeach the president, citing irregularities.
Of the 65 congressional deputies elected in controversial circumstances to the panel, about 30 per cent face criminal probes, according to a detailed count by specialist website Congresso em Foco.
The architect of the impeachment drive himself, House Speaker Eduardo Cunha, has been charged with taking as much as $40 million in bribes. He allegedly stashed the loot in secret Swiss accounts.
Analysts say that the entire impeachment crisis has in part been linked to Cunha's battle to distract attention from his case and ensure his continued influence as speaker. — AFP

Some of us have careers that involve sales, marketing or promotion. Every day, we put those skills to work to make a living creating relationships and sales. Many careers are compensated solely on productivity with sales, which raises the bar on quality and performance of promotional skills.
So if you're not in a sales career, do you consider yourself selling on a daily or regular basis? Are you comfortable with the idea that you might be selling or is that like asking someone how he or she may feel about public speaking?
Reality is, we are selling everyday. And we should embrace the idea that we are all pretty good at. Granted, you may not be selling someone a new home, car or creating a deal between two companies; but you are in fact selling ideas to your kids, your spouse and your peers at work.
Selling is an absolute positive, when intentions are genuine and it influences a positive change. Helping others create efficiencies at work, showing people how small changes in a nutrition plan can make a difference or helping someone close to you evaluate a life situation with an open mind all involve a bit of selling. In each of those instances, selling is powerful.
So even though you may have not sat through Personal Selling at UND like I did (good course btw), you too, are in the business of sales. Put your sales hat on and get to work.
Happy Friday

All I write and speak to is just the tip of an enormous ice-berg of trauma, memory, pain and grief.
I want this blog to explore and express as much as words can about my time and views of being prostituted – but words can only say the surface, or what my reader/audience choose to understand.
So I have put my fave Aretha Franklin's album – "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You" – and will try to go into my deep spaces.
To speak top being prostituted is to enter the heart of hell, but constantly being told it not as bad as you say.
But I know and remember the cold dead eyes of punters and sex trade profiteers – I know with every cell of my body that all violence done to the prostituted is pre-planned and done with a sense of entitlement.
There is and has never been accidental violence done to the prostituted – and the vast majority of this violence is done by men who are very ordinary, often non-violent outside of prostitution, and will be outwardly classed as good men.
But put a punter in a room, give a punter the entitlement to pick the street prostituted, let rich punters own escorts/girlfriend experience, say saunas are for sex, open up strip clubs on the high street – and you are saying violence to the prostituted is our norm as long we cannot see it's reality.
Punters are raping, torturing, killing and mentally abusing the prostituted every day in almost every country – and most societies make the choice to ignore this genocide.
For centuries, this hell has been made invisible or an non-event – now, slowly and with huge courage the multiple voices of the prostituted are getting heard.
I proud to be in a new book – "Prostitution Narrative: Stories of Survival in the Sex Trade" edited by Caroline Norma & Melinda Tankard Reist, published by Spinifex.
This is a collection of writings of exited women mainly from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, UK and USA – all speaking to the realities of what it is and was to be prostituted.
Our voices cut through the lies and myths of the sex work lobby – our voices are just a small part of centuries of the prostituted screaming for justice, wanting to explain our hellish conditions and fighting for justice.
I believe I am lucky to live in the beginning of the prostituted being allow to speak our realities in our own language – not the constant translation of those who support the status quo of the sex trade.
Our language is your language – just more raw, more able to face grief, more able to contain agony.
Our language is your language – only we allow emotion space to breathe, only we speak always with ghosts of those who never exit the sex trade.
Our language is your language – but too often you act as if we speak gibberish, or translate our words to hide pain, grief and desire for justice.
I want to live in world where the prostituted can speak out without being watered down.
To that day – I will speak out with the memory of hell, and wait for the non-prostituted to hear clearly the screaming of the prostituted world-wide.

Vegans Guide to the Universe Part 5: Egg Replacer 101
After a good deal of trial and error, Google searches, triumphant tries and complete culinary flops I finally came up with a working list of egg substitutes for nearly every recipe.
Baking (1 egg equivalent):
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce + ½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup pureed soft silken tofu (plain)
1 tablespoons ground flax seed simmer in 3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons water + 1 tablespoon canola oil + 2 teaspoons baking powder
Scrambled Eggs:
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, drained and crumbled – find your favorite tofu scramble recipe and you're off!
Quiches, Omelettes and Frittatas:
Firm of Extra Firm Silken Tofu should be used in place of eggs. Popular Recipes are the Papa Chorizo Frittata, Susan V.'s Vegan Omelette for One and Susan V.'s crustless Quiche
Ener-G Egg Replacer is also an excellent choice for replacing eggs in baked goods. 1 ½ teaspoons + 2 tablespoons warm water whisked together equals 1 egg. 1 box has over 113 servings! So it's a great low-cost way to replace eggs in baked goods.

My daughter is allergic to eggs, and stuff with egg in it (mayo, etc.) While we're not vegan, I have moved to using the flax seed meal in just about everything that asks for eggs, as well as applesauce for oil, which makes things healthier as well. Thanks for the other suggestions!ReplyDelete

Hi there! I just found your comfort food book at the library, and I think it's awesome! I'm now dropping hints to my fiancee about buying me a copy. Glad I found it right on time for Xmas!ReplyDelete
I wanted to let you know about an egg replacement I started using on accident, but it seems to work for baking. Unflavored soy yogurt. I was in a pinch one night and just grabbed it. I don't have the measurement down yet. I use "a tablespoon and a bit" in place of each egg. But it really seems to work, and you can't taste it in the finished product.
Your book rocks!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Thursday that it would send up to $45 million in defense services, including military training, to support African countries in their efforts to defeat the militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria will receive support that builds on the training and military equipment the United States has already supplied in the fight against the group, White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

A two-month block of time is made available to perform bench top research. Clinical research occurs throughout the year. Collaborative research projects with investigators from the biomechanics or orthobiologics labs is encouraged. Collaboration with residents and biomedical engineering students is also an option.
The goal of the research rotation is to allow the fellow to gain knowledge regarding good scientific methods and to initiate and conduct a study in orthopedic research.
Objective 1
The fellow will be able to identify appropriate research questions and design a well-controlled study to answer the research questions. This would include understanding the definition of independent and dependent variables and recognizing potential sources of error.
During the research rotation, the fellow will have submitted a research proposal which demonstrates his ability to identify an appropriate research question and design a well-controlled study. The proposal should exhibit an understanding of independent and dependent variables, and how to control for potential sources of error.
Objective 2
The fellow will gain knowledge of how to conduct a literature search, critically read the literature (understanding the difference between peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed literature), and interpret current pertinent research in order to formulate a scientific hypothesis.
In the research proposal, the fellow will have reviewed, summarized, and cited key research papers related to the topic and stated a well-formulated hypothesis.
Objective 3
The fellow will evaluate the project's facility and equipment needs including staffing, time frame, and budget for the study. The fellow will develop awareness of laboratory techniques and new materials/equipment for the investigation.
In the research proposal, the fellow will have determined the capabilities of the laboratory and clinical facilities including assessment of staffing needs, estimated start and completion dates, and budget requirements for the study.
Objective 4
The fellow will develop specific objectives to address the hypothesis, acquire a basic understanding of the statistical tests necessary to analyze the data, develop methodology to address each objective, and gain an understanding of basic technologies associated with the area of orthopedics being investigated.
In the research proposal, the fellow will have defined well-developed objectives to address the hypothesis, provided a statistical plan, and described precise materials and methods of the study.
Objective 5
The fellow will select an appropriate sample size, design questionnaires and/or data collection sheets that include quantifiable data, and conduct pilot studies, when applicable, to assess effectiveness of the procedures. In clinical trials, the fellow will present a professional manner and show respect for the patient. In laboratory trials, the fellow will work methodically, practice safety, clean up, and use research etiquette. In both cases, the fellow should work in a repeatable manner and understand the importance of handling all patients, specimens, and data collection consistently.
In the research proposal, the fellow will have identified an appropriate sample size, provided well-designed data collection sheets, and presented results of the pilot study when applicable. The fellow will have obtained a statistical consultation prior to writing the proposal. Throughout the trials, the fellow will have demonstrated good clinical and laboratory research techniques.
Objective 6
The fellow will develop a basic understanding of the statistical tests used for the study and why they are appropriate. This includes understanding the relevance of a p value, alpha and beta error, standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and confidence intervals.
During the research rotation, the fellow will have attended lectures on statistical design and demonstrated knowledge of skills in data collection methods and appropriate use of statistical tests.
Objective 7
The fellow will be able to interpret the data and results.

If you want to make an extra spicy song, try exploring the lower notes some more, and see if you can let your left hand do main part somewhere.
Maybe I'll start posting a few of the songs I play on here! I did a few MIDI songs a while ago but they take ageeeeees to make and I don't have so much spare time anymore. Piano songs are much faster than manually mapping a MIDI
But the closest I got to that impact (in my opinion) was with a piano song I made in FL Studio (before I bought a piano). I figured I would end up showing it anyway on this lovely forum, so here you go: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0nHHujPHcWk I hope you like it
I'd say what made it so good was that string backing around 50 seconds and then building up through to around 1:10.

Associate's Degrees in Cyber Security
Cyber security, the process of protecting computers, networks and data from outside access, has become extremely important in both our personal and business lives. Cyber security is a growing field that you can become part of by earning an associate degree. Learn more about this career and what an associate degree in cyber security all entails.
Earning an associate degree in cyber security typically takes two years of studies and completion of at least 60 credits. Students complete not only courses related to the major but also general education courses like math, English, communication, composition and psychology. Major-related courses might include network security, computer operating systems and maintenance, database fundamentals and networking essentials.
- Point Park University - Master of Arts in Intelligence and Global Security
- Utica College - BS in Fraud and Financial Crime Investigation, BS in Cybersecurity, MS in Cybersecurity
Associate's in Cyber Security Curriculum
Because programming is such a big part of cyber or network security, a student may also take many programming courses. In addition to the classroom studies, students may be required to complete internships in real work settings so that they may gain work experience in the field but in supervised environments.
Individuals who have careers in cyber security usually have bachelor degrees; however, many are hired for entry level positions with associate degrees in this field or a similar field such as information technology or computer science. While students may not find as many associate degree programs in cyber security as bachelor degree programs, they are still many schools that offer this program. Cyber security is so closely related to network security that many programs that focus on cyber security are actually listed as network security programs. In fact, cyber security associate degree programs may be found in programs offering computer technology, network systems administration, information technology or emergency management, among others.
Limited Concentrations for AS in Cyber Security Degrees
Cyber security programs at the associate degree level do not usually offer concentrations because cyber security is usually offered as a concentration for another field such as computer science or information technology. One example that tends to be at numerous universities is an Associates of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in cyber security.
Online Associate's in Cyber Security Degrees
Cyber security associate degree programs are also available as online programs through many colleges. Students in online programs may take slightly longer than two years to earn the degree. Online students learn through various educational tools such as DVDs, streaming videos, lectures and more. Online programs may be offered in one of two formats: real time or self-paced. Students in a self-paced program work at their own pace at their convenience. Students in a real time setting do the work at home online but meet with other students in a "virtual" classroom and discuss assignments much like in a real classroom.
As an online student, you'll take almost the same courses you'd take in an on-campus setting other than the internship. Online students can often make arrangements with the school to use their labs to complete assignments if necessary. Upon completion of many of these programs, the student is eligible to take industry certification exams such as A+, Network+ or Security+ and many more.
Here are a few program names we found to keep an eye open for: Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Network Security program through distance learning, Associate in Network Security Management. This program is offered both online and on campus.
Career Options for Cybersecurity
The most common careers for associate degree holders of cyber security programs are information security analysts or network and computer systems administrators. Both of these careers offer excellent job growth. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that information security analysts can expect employment growth of thirty-seven percent between 2012 and 2022 while network and computer systems administrators could see a twelve percent growth. In fact, the BLS predicts that by the year 2022, more than 27,000 more jobs will be created for information security analysts.
Career Outlook
As of May 2014, information security analysts earned an average annual wage of $88,890 and network and computer systems administrators saw an average of $75,790, according to the BLS. Salaries may vary by geographic location, experience and level of training. Associate degree holders often obtain entry-level training and receive on-the-job training. Many students also earn associate degrees as stepping stones to advanced education. They earn the degree, find work in the field and pursue higher degrees through distance learning.

What's with all these new shiney boxes in our data centres ? Trendy coloured appliances big and small… Look you can even have different coloured doors !
Well, it never hurt to have pretty flashing lights. I remember someone telling me a story of people getting a tour of a datacentre and wanting to see the purchase of their big new system (a midrange system at the time). They were impressed with the big new system, it's flashing lights, it's hum as it crunched through thousands of transactions per minute. Techhhnnnooolllooogggyy !! Well, after they were suitably impressed and had left the room, the tech guys looked at each other with bemusement. "Why were they looking at the new airconditioner unit?" Their new midrange system was less than 1/2 a rack in size on the other side of the room.
Seriously, there seems to be a renewed acceptance of pre-packaged appliances in the data centre. Both physical and virtual. For example:
Virtual Appliances
So many applications are being increasingly offered as virtual appliances – simply install them from OVF, start then up set an IP address and away you go. In many cases the application configuration via a web browser can be done without reading a manual (is that bad?). Applications like VMware vCenter, VirtualBox, IBM Service Delivery Manager (ISDM), Antivirus VMs, VMware VASA… the list goes on. If they are not already available as a virtual appliance, you can rest assured that most application roadmaps will have some consideration for virtual applicance packaging. This is occuring not only for small one or two VM appliances. Some of these applications listed above aren't exactly 'light' resource applications!
1-2 RU (rack unit) physical appliances
These small form factor appliances are now common place in the datacentre. Workload tuned for specific needs – such as Citrix NetScaler, IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances and even for VDI solutions from companies such as Nutanix. These more complex appliances again take away the need to care about the OS, the server, the storage and focus on the application.
Enterprise Application Appliances
Increasing numbers of enterprise application appliances such as SAP HANA. Large Intel appliances for running "in memory" components of SAP.
Big Iron appliances
Such as IBM Nettezza (oh, those coloured doors) are increasingly being wheeled into datacenters, so that within days (I'm realistic that most datacenters don't like too much change – grin) and not weeks, they can be up and running. Or as marketed, reducing the time to value for organisations.
I don't expect these shiny appliances to change the tradtional core server/storage/tape back-up architecture in the near term. In time, what might this mean for IT components we use today?
I care less about the operating system
If I have my application I don't really care about the operating system (OS) inside of the appliance. So in most cases given the licensing implications, I expect that OS is probably Linux. Although I'm sure Microsoft will continue to also provide their own appliances with Windows OS's as well. They'll be more Linux in organisations, however they'll be less objections from organisations that new OS's are deployed since they won't have to manage them anyhow.
Intel Intel Intel
In most cases these appliances will be powered by Intel systems, given their low cost and relatively high performance.
It's web browser delivered
Most appliances are accessed via a traditional web browser. So it provides rapid delivery to workstations, tablets and phones. So I don't need to package client applications and deliver them to users workstations via traditional deployment technologies.
In time, I'll probably 'rent' this capability when I need it
Organisations will rent some application services over the web (Software as a Service (SaaS)). Which from a client perspective, is really the ultimate appliance of sorts. Oh, check out pictures of one of Google's containerized data center. Do they take out the award for the largest appliances using shipping containers ? 🙂
What are your thoughts on the future of appliances? What other appliances are you seeing in your organisation?

Bronx High School of Science students square off in Harris Field, a Parks Department property across from the school. Fellow classmates filmed and cheered on the violence. A secret Facebook group hidden from the public called "Savage Season" was used to promote the fights and posted footage of the vile competitions. The fights went on for several years without interference from school officials. One parent who pulled her child out of the school said she told several officials at the school but she was told they were powerless to take action because it was off of school property.
By Geoffrey Croft
A 16-year-old Upper East Side junior at Bronx High School of Science student has been arrested for threatening a Daily News reporter following an expose about an underground fight club run by kids from the elite school.
Wataru Takada was charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment after he surrendered to police with an attorney on Wednesday evening.
He was given a desk appearance ticket and is expected to be back in court on Dec. 9. This was the teen's first arrest, officials said.
The reporter, Ben Chapman received more than a hundred messages including Facebook threats, texts and more than two dozen crank phone calls after a series in the Daily News detailed the vile existance of the organized brawls in Harris Field a public park across the street from one the city's most prestigious schools.
The reporter's home address along with a photo of his residence were also posted on the "Savage Season" group's uncovered secret Facebook page.
Chapman has been covering the education beat for the paper for years.
The NYPD launched an investigation into the fight club.
A private Facebook group called, "Savage Season" was created to promote the fights and post videos of the fisticuffs.
Videos of 11 separate fights were posted.
Last Thursday Bronx High School of Science principal Jean Donahue apologized to the reporter after students repeatedly harassed him with threatening online messages and voicemail insults.
The brawls were reported to two deans and a guidance councilor at Bronx High School of Science which school officials apparently do not dispute.
The Education Department, told the News in a statement, "The non-school-related incidents took place last year and were reported to the NYPD."
A mother of a former student told the paper that said she informed school officials about the fights four months earlier but the administrators insisted they were powerless because the fights were in the park.
The October 12, 2016 Daily News front-page story detailed the vile "Fight Club" in which students from the prestigious Bronx High School of Science participated in fighting in Harris Field near the school. The unfortunate "Put Up Your Dorks!" headline detracted from otherwise solid story and reporting. The editor who wrote the headline left the paper two days after it was published.

On Saturday 24th September 2011, local residents within the vicinity of the Bath Road Reservoir were given the opportunity to attend Thames Water's public consultation, held at Downshire Square between 2.30 and 6.30pm.
This was the first opportunity that the local community had had to see the revised plans and comment on them. Overall, residents felt that the proposals were an improvement on the previous plans which were dismissed at appeal early this year – but that there is still a long way to go before they are acceptable.
Local resident Martin Hoare commented: "With the heights of the buildings proposed, on a higher development platform as well, residents of Western Road would come out of their front doors and think they were walking into Canary Wharf."
Schoolteacher and local resident Fiona Watson added: "Thames Water have been very dishonest about the old and new building heights proposed – their 'before' and 'after' figures include only the maximum height figures for their previous application – which ranged sometimes from 8m to 12.5m. To unsuspecting residents who were unaware of the detail of the previous application, this makes it look as though they have listened and reduced the heights, but they haven't at all – the number of dwellings proposed is less but they haven't reduced the footprint since the buildings would still cover the same amount of space. This is a very deliberate attempt to mislead the local community and the local Council and I am extremely disappointed."
STBRR campaigner Graham Griffiths commented: "We still feel that Thames Water could allocate more amenity space. Social housing with no community facilities makes little sense – Thames Water could use one of the buildings proposed as housing for community purposes. Further, this area lacks ball play areas, access to allotments and other such community facilities and a real opportunity to address this is being missed."
Fellow campaigner Mel Woodward added: "Building heights are still a major concern as the proposed buildings are still of an unacceptable size and massing and would still dwarf the surrounding buildings. One of the key reasons for dismissal was the cluster of buildings in the centre of the site being 10-12m on a raised platform – Thames Water are now proposing that these same buildings would stand 11m metres tall, which goes completely against the Inspector's recommendations. The plans shown were not final and are subject to change so we very much hope that Thames Water will take note of local feedback and amend their plans accordingly. Reducing unit numbers but not building heights does not constitute listening to the local community, nor indeed the recommendations of the Government Inspector."
Reading West MP Alok Sharma attended the consultation with local residents. He commented: "The new plans are an improvement on past applications but the density is still too high. I hope Thames Water will really take account of local residents' views and the revised planning application will be for a much smaller number of homes than indicated in this consultation. Clearly there also remain significant issues about the height of the development and I hope Reading Borough Council will consider local public opinion when it makes a decision on any revised planning application from Thames Water."

We really appreciate the fast response.

On Wednesday, just before July 4th holiday weekend, our central air and heating stopped working. We needed to replace the entire system and also our hot water heater. Other companies told us they could do it by the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Richie Bros. came in, assessed the situation and had a new system working perfectly by that Friday afternoon. The job was professional, neat and clean and seems to be a big improvement in service from our very old system.
Thank you again Richie BrothersSusan H, Eastchester (2016)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Thank you for all you and the entire staff at Richie Bros. have done for me over the years. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy year. Cheers!Meagan S, Bronxville (2015)
They first sent an estimator to check what we had, and discuss our needs and options, and to make a firm quote based on what we decided. Then, when we went ahead, they scheduled the work for the next day, and showed up on time to the minute.
The crew knew their business, and cared about doing a first class job, leaving our home as clean as before they arrived, with no surprises about needing something else done for added cost. At the end, one of the men took photos of the finished job, which seems to be company policy, and shows that the boss cares about the work that's done.
All in all a 1st class operation in every respect.
Unit working well. Your staff did a good job. Thank you.Mr. D, New Rochelle (2015)
Richie Bros. installed central air in our house when we moved in 20 years ago. It was time to replace the system (it still worked great but wasn't efficient), clean the duct work, replace the existing flexible duct in the attic with R8 flex and insulate the existing metal duct work with R8 insulation and epoxy coat.
Richie Bros. did a fabulous job 20 years ago and they did a fabulous job now. The (Trane) system they originally installed worked flawlessly for 20 years –Richie Bros. cleaned and serviced it each year but only once or twice did it ever need a repair. I was reluctant to replace the system since it still worked but wanted to improve efficiency, cut my electric costs and get the available rebate. I also feared the mess of taking out the old equipment and installing the new. Well, I had nothing to fear. First, The owner was most responsive and came by to walk through with me exactly what he needed to do and was happy to price out various options–he never pushed a high end approach but let me make the decision. He also told me exactly what I had to do with all my stuff in the attic to make the space accessible to his men. Once I made the decision to move ahead, The owner was able to start as soon as I could clean out my attic. The owner sent two crews (four individuals) on Monday 4/14 and they finished yesterday, 4/16. All of the workmen have worked for Richie Bros. for years–they were lovely and did an absolutely meticulous job. They covered their boots with protective slippers so as not to scuff my floors and put down drop cloths everywhere in the vicinity. They worked quietly and efficiently and expertly. I couldn't be happier with the job Richie Bros. did and would give them the highest recommendation. (They also sent an incredibly neat and professional team to clean our ducts.)Jane, Bronxville (2015)
Thanks for the job you and your crew did on the A/C it exceeded my expectations. It is now a pleasure to come in the door and feel the cool air when its 90 outside. Job done in perfect timing. Thanks for sending a great crew and special thanks to your son. I have procrastinated on doing this job for years as I dreaded big ducts all over the house, but you made it possible and kept it whisper quiet. Job very well done.Mr. C, Bronxville (2015)
Richie Bros has been my HVAC provider for 13 years. During that time, Richie Bros has replaced the air conditioner / air handler, the hot water boiler and most recently the steam boiler. In every case, the Richie Bros team are the same experienced technicians who know the systems that heat and cool my house. I don't have to explain where anything is; they know. Given the complexity of the job, The owner himself led the project which required three experienced technicians at any one time over a 4 day period.
Richie Bros is at the upper end of the cost structure, but for that price he puts trained professionals on the job who understand how a complete system operates. The old system was removed and the new system installed. Anyone can hook up a steam boiler and walk away. Richie Bros will do the right job end to end. That means testing for CO, checking connections for leaks, joining new pipes to the steam boiler, and connecting electrical wiring between the controls and the steam boiler. He also installed a new digital thermostat. The owner is a stickler in asking his team to follow all applicable standards including safety procedures (an all clear test of the chimney flue for leaks or the presence of CO.). They inspected and tested the system to detect any malfunctions. He is willing to and has come back to the house several times to ensure the system functions properly. I cannot emphasize enough that in addition to the equipment installation, there was not one mark on the wall or on the carpet in the living areas leading to the boiler room.
You get what you pay for and, in this case, the Richie Bros team consistently delivers to a high standard. After all, it's more than buying and installing new equipment. Anyone can do that. It's also about knowledge, training, professionalism, establishing a long term relationship and trust.Patricia, New Rochelle (2015)
Everything is working fine. Thank you to Gary for a good and neat job.Arlene M, Scarsdale (2015)
When our central air conditioning system stopped working during the heat wave, we were not happy. Actually, we were quite hot and bothered.
We appreciate your quick service to send someone out to declare time of death for our system. Of course, then came the time we all sweat over, getting the new system installed properly, and in a timely manner. We were quite impressed with the crew that you sent out to dismantle the old air handler and condensing unit, reinstall them both, and re-run all the wires and lines between them. These lines of course run through a crawl spaces that is too small even for squirrels. I couldn't believe that Dillon actually got into that hole they had cut in the wall of our crawl space.
These guys worked in intense humidity, during the heat wave, in our attic, in the crawl space and outside with all the energy of an Olympic team. They had to go up and down the stairs, in and out of the attic and were unflagged even in the heat. I wish that I could have turned the A/C on for them! They had laid down drop clothes and were very respectful of our home.
That is the most you can ask for in a work crew.
Thank you for sending such a top team to get our air conditioning back into full working order. I hope that we will not need any service on our central air, but if we do, we will call you and we'll recommend you to all of our friends.Mr. Jerry L, Eastchester (2015)
Thank you for so many wonderful years of service. After designing our HVAC almost nine years ago, your company has provided us with stellar service, a rare quality these days.
Your technicians have been polite and informative. They have also shown us many ways to save money. They come on time and are fast, neat and courteous.
Most impressive has been your company's response to a billing question. Thank you for making the process so easy.Mr. & Mrs. B, Scarsdale (2015)
Thank you, great job! Great service!Mrs. F, Mamaroneck (2015)
Dear Richie Bros.
Thank you so much for all the great work. Please tell John and his crew we really appreciated their efficiency and courtesy in what I assume can be a very messy job. They were all professionals and it was a pleasure to have them in the house. They made it painless.
Thanks againMr. P. - Pelham Manor (2014)
Old boiler had broken and was leaking water all over my finished basement. Richie Brothers first came out to look at it as an emergency call to stabilize the situation. They then handled the replacement of the boiler and moving of my water tank so the new boiler could fit in to the room.
It was a terrific experience in a bad situation. This scenario is exactly why I have an Angie's List account.
My wife and I noticed when we returned from vacation that there was water in our carpeted basement by the washing machine outside the boiler room. We thought we had a leak in the washer and set out to clean up the water before it did too much damage. Long story short, it turns out it was our boiler that was leaking water and operating in a dangerous state.
I went on to Angies List to find local plumbers that could come out right away. After making a few calls I was connected with Craig at Richie Brothers. He dispatched someone immediately to come assess the situation. The gentleman came onsite, explained what had happened and laid out our options.
He then bled the system and drained all the water so it would not continue to leak in to the basement. He was methodical and prepared. Not to mention extremely neat in doing his work.
Once he was done, I went back on Angies List to bid out the work to Richie Brothers and 2 other companys. I do this as a matter of practice though I was leaning towards Richie Brothers anyway. After hosting the other two and reviewing bids I was more than happy to go with Craig and the guys at Richie Brothers. I was not disappointed.

Is This Thing On?
In a move that should make all of you question Andrew's judgment, he's invited me to also contribute to the Informix DBA blog. So now you'll get erratic posting from two of the three fastest* Informix DBAs in the world.
Hopefully I'll be able to contribute something of value besides bad humor.
* - Fastest according to one extremely arbitrary contest several years and versions ago, in which only a small fraction of the world's Informix DBAs actually participated.

Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate is the percentage of customers who are not satisfied with your responses in Buyer-Seller Messaging.
When you respond to a buyer message about an order, we include a customer survey immediately below your response asking "Did this solve your problem?" Buyers can respond "Yes" or "No." Only you can see a buyer's response.
You can see the Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate performance indicator in the Performance Checklist on the Performance Metrics page. This is in addition to the Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate displayed further down the page.
Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate is the number of "No" votes divided by the total number of survey responses expressed as a percentage.
Customer Service Dissatisfaction is specific to orders, and we only count the latest survey vote for each order. For example, if a buyer responds "No," but you later address the issue and the buyer changes their response to a "Yes," we use the "Yes" and not the "No" to calculate your metric.
The Customer Service Dissatisfaction Rate performance target for sellers is less than 25%. We recommend you use this metric to help you understand customer satisfaction with your responses in the Buyer-Seller Messaging service. At this time, there is no penalty for not meeting the performance target. However, buyers with unresolved problems are more likely to submit negative feedback and claims.
You can download a report of your recent survey responses:
We encourage you to use this report to understand where you're doing well and when appropriate make improvements to your Customer Service policies.

In all seriousness, though, I've had strangers slam doors in my face and I've had others who don't even batter an eye lash, let alone utter so much as a thank you, while I patiently stand at the entrance for thirty seconds holding the door open for them.
The majority of my co-workers have put their heads down as they pass me in the hallway or the lunch room making me feel like I'm imaginary, and even the ones I'm close with just seem really "off". Drivers seem more irritable and impatient than normal, and a little thing known as customer service seems to have completely disappeared.
I try not to let little things like that bring me down, but sometimes I find I can't help it. Like did I really deserve getting the finger yesterday afternoon as you flew past me because I didn't see the light turn green right away?
How many times have you started your day off feeling pretty great, when all of a sudden it started to go downhill after interacting with someone who was in a bad mood?
You know, I truly believe that our moods are contagious. I believe that you can lift someone up just as quickly as you can bring them down. I believe that a small gesture can instantly brighten someones day, while an act of rudeness can quickly morph others into a state of unhappiness. We all have the ability to change someones mood, and when I actually stop and think about that, it's both pretty amazing and pretty powerful. We all have a choice, and it's completely and entirely up to us.
Now, I don't want to give anyone a false impression around here because I don't always prance around with a smile on my face, and believe me when I say that sometimes I would rather smack someone than actually be nice to them. But I always, always, always try to be pleasant and courteous to others and have consideration for them, regardless of the kind of day or week it is that I'm having. In fact, I've never really understood because I've always felt like it actually requires more effort to be rude to someone than to actually be nice to them.

| 17.3°C Dublin
A dump holding 200,000 tonnes of rubbish is being washed into the sea more than 20 years after the problem was identified, a report on the dangers of erosion has found.
The disused landfill north of Bray, which stopped taking in waste at least 25 years ago, is being eaten away after advancing waves from the Irish Sea washed out clay walls.
Environmental group Coastwatch revealed about 200m of the face of the tip has been exposed by the weather and a sbestos, rusted metal, heavy plastics, bricks and bags can be seen at the foot of eroded cliffs.
It was one of 511 spots across the Republic surveyed for erosion damage last year with more than a quarter classed as a serious risk.
The Coastwatch report said erosion is not only the most widespread threat to the 7000km of coast, but also at the highest on record for 26 years.
Karin Dubsky, Coastwatch Europe co-ordinator in Ireland, said a national policy rather than county by county approach to protecting the coastline is badly needed.
"Virtually every golf links in the country has rock armour around it," she said.
"Eighty years ago there was a national approach to erosion but now it is very hit and miss. Lacking a national policy is a big weakness, and having no public discussion about it is appalling in 2015."
The Coastwatch report said the increasing concern and visible impact from erosion in some parts of the country was undoubtedly due to the huge Atlantic storms in January and February last year, particularly the western seaboard.
Its survey found Wexford, Wicklow, Kerry, Clare, Galway and Mayo have been particularly badly hit.
Wexford has 40 sites under threat out of 55 surveyed and at Ardamine two houses and a number of access routes were lost in winter storms last year.
In Meath, where the coastline only strecthes to 11km, 16 out of 20 surveys identified erosion threats.
The Government set aside 70m euro last year to deal with repairs to eroded coasts.
The problems with Bray dump were identified by a student in 1993 and subsequently reported on by Coastwatch in 2005 and 2006 but no permanent solution to stop the decades old rubbish from being washed into the sea has been agreed. T he land is now privately owned.
Material from the dump, including suspected dangerous chemicals, have been removed for research by the Coastwatch team at Trinity College Dublin.
Coastwatch called for old dumps need to be marked on county development plans and for reports on them by councils to be made public.
