So interesting that you posted this today as bi is something I’d like to explore. I was talking to my lover about it today and never even thought about below I’d begin to pursue that.
It’s definitely a new experience once you try it. If you’re like me, I was really super shy the first time… not sure what to do, etc. But then you will probably start fantasizing about more.
Glad you liked it. My wife is seriously into girls and I love watching them.

Last weekend the #EalingFeeling took over west London!
I smiled my way round an awesome half marathon, and will definitely be putting it on my list for next year.
Plus point number one, the race was very organised. I arrived 45mins before the start, went to the toilet (no queue, plenty of portaloos), dropped my bag with no problems, participated in some of the warm-up and made it to the toilet again 15mins before the 9am start (slight queue) without the slightest hitch.
The atmosphere in Lammas Park was buzzing, and I couldn’t wait to get started!
I lined up just behind the 2:30pacer, intending to start with them and see how I felt, and barely 5minutes after the first runners set off, we were crossing the line.
The first half was amazing- my legs felt good and I fell in behind the pacer, keeping him in my sights, and soaking up the cheers and smiles.
It was definitely the best race I’ve run so far for support. Loads of people lined the streets and stood outside their houses, clapping and cheering. I loved having my name on my vest, because it meant I got so many personal cheers and people calling my name, such a bizarre feeling!
There were cool signs, people in their front gardens with iPod docks blaring out music, a steel drum band at one point and kids giving out jelly babies and writing chalk messages on the roads.
The marshalls were brilliant too, whooping along with the rest and manning the well stocked water stations.
I took a gel at 5miles (approx 1hour) which was warm and made me feel a bit sick. After that my stomach didn’t really settle down and the heat started to make me feel more tired than usual. It was an unusally warm day, hot for running, and with Ealing being a road race the sun reflected off the tarmac and buildings to create a pretty sticky morning.
I made it to 8miles before I really started to struggle. I probably should have taken my 2nd gel at 10miles but the thought of it was not appealing! I grabbed a few jelly babies from people instead but chewing was quite hard, and the hills were pretty killer!
They were not short and sweet where you can power up and be done, but long and gradual. My run/walk plan went out the window because I wanted to walk up the hills and run the downhills! Which seemed like a good plan, except the uphills took a good 2-3minutes to walk.
There were also a few sections where you seemed to run the same bit 2 or 3 times in different directions which was a little disorientating and you were constantly passing runners on the other side of the road. It did mean it was good for supporters though as they could stand in the same place and see friends and family pass by several times.
The last 3miles I kind of zoned out. I had one earphone in the whole way with my Spotify playlist going but I’ve no idea what was playing for the last part of the race. I felt in a bit of a daze and had to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I threw water over myself at several water stations, and the kind ladies outside one of the churches refilled my handheld water bottle for me that I carried around the course. This wasn’t an official water station, they were just out to help like so many people which was really lovely to see!
The last km marker was upon re-entering Lammas Park which was actually quite tough, as you could see the finish line and hear the announcer and loud music but knew you still had a while to go. It felt like it went on forever!
I was so happy to cross that finish line but hadn’t the energy to make any kind of pose although the photos show I was amazingly still smiling!
The finishing funnel was very efficient, I was handed a medal, Clif bar and bottle of water and easily exited into the park. I collected my bag (the lady saw me coming and had it ready) and collapsed in some shade where I stretched and gulped down 2 bottles of water and a nakd bar. I listened to the announcer bringing in people and relaxed until I felt a bit more normal before changing into flip flops and a clean t-shirt and heading home.
The Windsor Half Trail Marathon I completed earlier in the year in 2:56 (there were no official chip times as they messed up the timing mats, but that’s what my Garmin said).
My Ealing Half Marathon time was 2:45:48.
I kind of wish I’d pushed just a little harder to get under 2:45!
But I’m definitely pleased with that considering that I came back from a hip injury to run it, and at some points wasn’t sure I’d make it to the start line. My legs were achey the next day, but after some rest and relaxation my hip seems fine, and maybe I might even knock another 10minutes off at Brighton Half next February?! 2:30 pacer I’m coming for you!!
Did you race last weekend? What’s been the best race for atmosphere that you’ve run?
NB. I was given a blogger place for Ealing Half Marathon but all opinions are my own, and I would definitely run it again!
One of my friends did this and raved about it- and she doesn't normally like road races. Think I will try and see about it next year. Well done on your time- that is taking a big chunk of time off!
Congratulations Beki – a great recap and a stonking PB! You look great in the photos – very smiley! It looks like you had a great time. I'm pleased to hear your hip didn't gripe.
Well done Beki and congratulations on the PB! Love that you were smiling all the way!!!
Well done! Looks like a great race, I was offered a place for this too, but it was the same weekend as Berlin! Might consider it for next year! Berlin was one of the best atmospheres I've ever raced in, that and the Dublin marathon probably for me were the best ones.

Home OpinionWhat’s the most obscure film you’ve cried at?
Recently I bothered family and friends to tell me what’s the weirdest film they’ve shed a tear to.
When I was about four years old, my grandma let my sister and I watch Jaws. My grandma was (and still is) a huge film fan, so this was a regular occurrence. We’d watch all sorts with her, from The Terminator to The Mask. We loved it.
We’re near the end of Jaws and this huge, hungry, toothy mother fucker has eaten its way through countless innocent people – literally ripped them apart. But when Chief Brody shoves his scuba tank into its mouth, shoots the tank with a rifle and blow the shark to smithereens, I cried like a baby.
So at this point, my sister is disgusted with me: it needed to die! It would have eaten him too! And through my tears I managed: it didn’t know what it was doing – it was hungry!
My love for ‘bad boy’ sharks was so bad, it started to affect my day-to-day life as a four-year-old – I started to ‘save’ sweets in the pick n mix stand that were shaped like animals. Our family fridge was filled with jelly dolphins and gold bears, something that infuriated everyone else.
It was at this point I realised I was hyper-sensitive to any form of cruelty to animals. Not a crazy thing to be sensitive too, granted. But I was rooting for the animals even when they were the bad guys.
Similarly, I cried when the T-Rex was eventually taken down by the raptors in Jurassic Park. I cried over King Kong after he’d destroyed New York.
Now I can’t watch any films with animals in, just in case. And do you know how many films there are with animals in?

One of the Obama provisions would increase the amount of money that can be raised through small public offerings that don’t require companies to undergo an extensive Securities and Exchange Commission registration process. The limit for such “mini public offerings” would increase from $5 million a year to $50 million.
via Obama to ask Congress for small business tax breaks, investment incentives.
This move is not surprising, as Reg A’s existing limit has been the subject of much prior discussion. President Obama’s suggested upward revision to $50 million, however, is aggressive on the upward side, and will likely be welcomed by a Congress anxious to help out ailing small businesses.

Professional Genealogical Services is a Sole Proprietorship. Before starting the business service, I had been doing genealogical research for close to 20 years. During this time I developed a special interest in Southern Native Research with the nudging of my father before his passing. I've learned over the years there is never an ending place in your own personal research. You must decide where to stop in your own search. If you need help in getting started, brick walls, Native research, or other area's please feel free to contact me about your genealogical needs. Always note there are never any guarnatee's in finding all your ancestors. With my service, you will always receive a qualified conclusion with the weight of the evidence available at the time of service and sources cited.
I am the only Professional Genealogist in North Alabama Specializing in Southern Native American Research. I am recognized as a Professional Genealogist by the Association of Professional Genealogist, National Genealogical Society, and the Alabama Genealogical Society. I'm in the process of becoming a Certified Genealogist, which is the equivalate of having a Masters Degree in any other field of work.
My interest in genealogy begain almost 20 years ago, when my father ask me to attempt some research. Since that time I have learned some valuable lessons and information that I believe will benefit in helping others in their family quest.
After helping others for many years my husband and family encouraged me to start a genealogical business.
I understudied with a professional genealogist for many years. She provided Family and Native American Research instruction. Now that she has retired, I felt it was time to move forward to a larger venue. In preparing to make this move I've taken several college classes and received a certificate in genealogical research. I also have taken a course and received a certificate in Human Research Protections.
I have a sound background in research. That background includes Advanced Grant Writing and Consulting through the University of Auburn, in Alabama.
Purpose: The Code of Ethics and Professional Practices serves to promote: (1) a truthful approach to genealogy, family history, and local history; (2) the trust and security of genealogical consumers; and (3) careful and respectful treatment of records, repositories and their staff, organizations and associations.
Refrain from behaviours or statements that malign or are maliciously calculated to injure the profession, individual genealogist, genealogical associations, programs, or educational organizations, or the Association of Professional Genealogist.

Technical analysis could use some help. Please research the article's assertions. Whatever is credible should be sourced, and what is not should be removed.
Technical analysis is the practice of developing rules to trade securities based on the past price movements of the securities markets and individual securities. The definition can be extended to include trading rules that results in behaviourial factors, such as Contrarian investing.
It doesn't work very well in an efficient market. Efficiency can reasonably be defined as the extent to which this sort of thing doesn't work.
No information on Sales, cash flow, earnings, customer base and other information are needed.
Major financial reporting standards (like IFRS and US GAAP) have procedural variations such that the numbers such as income, expenses, return on assets etc. may vary drastically due to different practices. Technical analysis does not require adjustments to the financial statements in order to make firms comparable.
Psychological factors and other nonquantifiable factors often affect the prices of the security and do not usually appear on the financial statements. example include employee training and loyalty, customer goodwill, and general investor attitude.
These factors are related to the fact that since one does not need financial statements for technical analysis,[note 1] it saves time and brain power to process the information.
The efficient market hypothesis, even in the weakest form, argues that the prices of securities reflect all market information, including but not limited to rates of return, sequence of prices, trading volume and any information that can be generated by market data. In simpler terms, future rates of return is statistically independent of the past rate of return. As a result, the hypothesis contends that trading rules derived from market data will not systematically get superior[note 2] gains. This form of the hypothesis is usually well-supported by statistical tests of securities on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
If the market is not as efficient as it would needed to be,[note 3][note 4] arbitrage[note 5] opportunities will arise making profits until the next price update.
Don't expect it to work in any major stock exchanges , however.
See the Wikipedia article on Efficient market hypothesis.
See the Wikipedia article on Technical analysis.
See the Wikipedia article on Arbitrage.
↑ Compared to, for example, buy and hold .
↑ As in prices do not update very often, like computers are not even available in the stock exchange due to technology (For example, if you are living in the 1810s) or cost limitations (Given the fact that listing on a stock exchange requires fees paid to the stock exchange, this is mostly a non-issue).
↑ It is also possible to exploit prices movements created by technological limitations in terms of bandwidth limits of data (before networking is invented, perhaps) because different stock exchanges may have different prices for the same securities. However that's beyond the scope of technical analysis.
↑ In the strictest sense, it refers to any profit requiring zero risk and zero investment. For the purpose of this article, a more popular interpretation is used -- the superior risk-return trade-off which may or may not require risk and/or investment.

Published by TODAY, Singapore’s second most-read newspaper, on 28th July 2016. Here is the online version.
I can look at you for eternity.
In order to save time, I’ve been cutting my own hair. It works for a period but over time, it becomes a right mess as bad hair days turn to bad hair weeks and months.
I nipped out yesterday to get a haircut at my regular S$7 barbershop at Ayer Rajah but it was closed.
A few doors away, a hairdressing saloon was open. There were no customers in there and a stylist was available.
I decided to try her out.
I had SUCH a DELIGHTFUL hair cut (I should call it a hair styling now) bantering with the stylist. Lovely lady, a Malaysian Cantonese from KL, she’s been in Singapore for 20 years. She has one daughter studying Engineering at ITE.
After I paid her the S$10 for the haircut, she said “Thank you”, while shaking her head from side-to-side, Indian style. When I pointed that out to her in good nature, she burst out laughing! She realised she inadvertently did that because I am Indian.
We had a great laugh over that.
So lovely when a routine errand becomes a delightful experience.

How did they build some of the country’s most iconic places and institutions while raising their families? Enter a world of love, power and ambition in NO ORDINARY FAMILY. Stories of triumph over adversity as each episode zooms in on key pivotal moments, highlighting the dramatic events they faced to continue the family name.
You floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
This is so good. So well written. So well delivered.
I was driving along South Buona Vista Road on a Friday. I saw an elderly Chinese gentleman struggling to walk. He was ragged and very poorly. So I stopped at the side of the road, turned on my hazard lights and approached him.
I was with Sharolyn who could. So she spoke to him and translated.
He was injured – scabs, limping, and smelling of alcohol. He had beers and empty beer cans in a supermarket type of plastic bag.
He was trying to get to a polyclinic. But all the cabs he hailed sailed pass him (I’m guessing because of how he looked).
I offered to give him a lift.
Just at that moment, a youngish (I’m guessing 30-something) Malay gentleman came up to us. He asked what was wrong. We explained.
He immediately took over. He said he worked at the National University Hospital. He advised me not to give the gentleman a lift to the polyclinic. He explained that if anything should happen along the way, I could be held liable.
The Malay gentleman completely took over. He reiterated he worked at NUH so he knew exactly what to do. He said he’d call an ambulance and wait with the man. He insisted we be on our way as he could handle this.
I thanked him for his kindness.
So he decided to turn around to help this man (and as it turned out, help us).
I am a Christian – a born-again one at that.
This man was the Good Samaritan. He is Muslim.
Jesus said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

WASHINGTON AND HOLMES COUNTIES - Hurricane Michael left a trail of trees uprooted and on their sides. But the Florida Forest Service is using Florida Arbor Day to get the scenery upright.
FFS is giving out 325 trees on Friday across Washington and Holmes counties. The trees in both locations will be in one gallon pots and broken down by species.
"We've lost everything from yard trees to major forests," said FFS Senior Forester Thomas Moss, adding the tree giveaway is not going to make much of an impact, but "It's a good start."
FFS will give away potted persimmon, tulip poplar, red maple, bald cypress, and southern magnolia trees from 8 to 11 a.m. at East Pennsylvania Ave and North Waukesha Street in Bonifay. In Chipley, fringe tree, bald cypress, red maple, eastern redbud, southern red oak, southern magnolia, live oak, and tulip poplar potted trees will be given away from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Washington County Agriculture Center located at 1424 Jackson Ave. in Chipley.
"This is something Florida Forest Service likes to do every year, from a parent planting a tree with a kid watching it grow up," Moss said, "to just getting something out there and growing."
And the need for planting trees is growing.
The Panhandle suffered about $1.3 billion in timber damage, according to FFS. And that amount is expected to grow as existing trees may still experience stress from pests and disease.
Moss said the FFS is currently working through the emergency forest program, administered through the farm service agency, to get the forests restored. Also, representatives from the FFS will meet with state legislators to get other programs going, he said.
If you need help with damage on your tree farm, contact Thomas Moss, Senior Forester in Washington and Holmes counties, at 850-373-1813.

Valentine's Day is next week so you may want to get working on that perfect gift.
Oh Valentine's Day. It's a day of love that is celebrated at any age. I still remember over-analyzing the tiny, paper Valentine that my elementary school crush gave me. I mean, everyone gave Valentine's to everyone in the class, but he decided to give me the Valentine with a skateboarder on it that said "You're RAD!" The love of my 11-year life thought I was RAD! Could there be anything sweeter in this world?
It was in that moment I should have realized that women are way more into Valentine's Day then men.
I know this isn't the case for every relationship, but I've definitely experienced it in mine over the years. Pretty much every guy I have dated made it clear that this "Hallmark Holiday" is not his cup of tea. It took me a minute to be OK with that, but now I am. In all honesty, it's taken a lot of the pressure off of my marriage.
That being said, if your man has similar thoughts toward February 14 be prepared to give and not receive. If you can do that, then you're golden. Now the question is what to get your man for Valentine's Day? My advice is to keep it simple and practical. Find a gift that fits easily into his life/routine or even something that he wouldn't buy/do for himself.
If you're completely lost on what to get, use a site that takes the guess work out of gift giving. Surprisily.com creates surprise gift boxes for you. Just answer a few questions about the recipient and select how much you want to spend. They'll create a box and ship it. It's easy and they don't tell you what they're packing either so it's a fun surprise for both of you.

- Wildlife Photojournalism, full story below.
An example of Malawi’s ‘boots on the ground’ and their tireless efforts to protect the last forest elephants in Thuma Reserve. At first glance it is a sad scene, the carcass of an African elephant lies decaying in a stream, so rank the Hyenas have left it be. This elephant had been shot by Dixon Mzimba, a serial poacher and native Malawian who was known to have killed at least three elephants prior to the one seen here and was selling the tusks on to the Asian syndicates. However Dixon Mzimba could not outsmart the newly trained anti-poaching team who proudly told their story of how they tracked him down and arrested him. Dixon is now facing a four year jail sentence with hard labour for hunting elephants. The charge for killing the elephant and attempted ivory trafficking is pending and will likely add many years to his sentence.
Malawi has recently been ranked as the poorest country in the world which has often put short term human survival issues over those of wildlife and the environment, and corruption is also rampant as shown by the Cashgate scandal. However there are some individuals who genuinely care about wildlife and take pride in their job whom should be celebrated. There are always those who are passionate for what they care about. Three scouts, Richard Banda, Felix Banda, and Mathews Banda put their lives on the line to protect wildlife. Felix cradles a baby Duiker which the brothers rescued and raised after its mother was killed by poachers.
It is not just the elephants at risk, Malawi also boasts the 5th highest deforestation rate in the world. It is up to the scouts to protect their forest and that means cracking down on the charcoal traders. Here wildlife scouts have arrested three people after an overnight mission including a gruelling ascent up a mountainous ridge to an area where they had noticed the tell-tale smoke.
Mauled to death by poachers’ dogs, a wildlife scout at Kuti reserve berries the Nyala before its poacher can locate the carcass and harvest it for meat. Its being berried as a statement to the people of Malawi that they need to understand that it’s a criminal offence to poach, poverty and hunger are no longer tolerated as excuses to poach. Malawi is making a stand against wildlife crime whatever the reason.
A great tusker, elephants with tusks so large they would reach to the ground, and beingdriven to extinction in Malawi. The number of elephant tusks in this single Government stock pile room equal if not exceed the remaining elephants in Malawi. At time of writing the President is deciding whether to give the go ahead for a burn of the country’s ivory stockpile, I hope to update this description concluding that the Ivory this official is surrounded by no longer exists.

MILBRIDGE – The Ray-Smith family heard a voice Sunday morning that likely will change their lives.
It was “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” host Ty Pennington yelling into a bullhorn, announcing that their house was about to be replaced.
“You just don’t expect that on a Sunday morning,” Ron Smith said.
The ABC show is in Milbridge for the week where crews will film an episode about Brittany Ray, her husband, Ron Smith, and their three children.
In keeping with “Extreme Makeover” tradition, many aspects of the Ray-Smith family could tug at a viewer’s heartstrings, from medical problems and piles of bills to an unreliable old home with a potential ghost.
The family also is expecting a new member soon with the addition of an adopted child from China.
“It’s very hard to even put into words what I’m feeling,” Brittany Ray said Sunday afternoon at a press conference.
Ray and Smith first met in nursery school. After attending separate colleges, they were married in 1994 and returned to their hometown of Milbridge where both now work as teachers.
School loans and other bills began adding up, and the family moved into Ray’s family home that has been passed down for generations and likely dates back to the early 1900s, according to Ray’s aunt Drusilla Ray, 63, of Milbridge.
Largely because of its age, the home is in disrepair, including an outdated septic system, no insulation, a cracking foundation, an outdated furnace that overheats, a leaky roof, freezing pipes, and electrical wiring that is a fire hazard.
On top of its structural issues, the Ray-Smith house allegedly is haunted.
According to information from Sutherland Weston Marketing Communications of Bangor, the public relations firm assisting in organizing the production locally, the resident spirit may have an affinity for sharp objects as the family has returned home to find scissors standing upright on the counter or shirt pins balanced in a circle in a candle.
In addition to the struggles the Ray-Smiths face with their home, medical bills have piled up and keep coming.
Thomas Ray-Smith, 8, has autism, and doctors say that although it’s too early to tell for sure, Joseph “Jo-Jo” Ray-Smith, 3, likely is autistic as well.
Both Ron Smith and his daughter, Bayley Ray-Smith, 11, suffer from hyperlipidemia, a condition causing extremely high cholesterol, which resulted in fatal heart attacks in Ron’s mother and brother.
Another reason the family was selected from the five finalists considered for the show in Maine was their commitment to the community.
Brittany Ray was named Maine 2006 Teacher of the Year for her work as an English teacher at Narraguagus High School in Harrington. She was the first Washington County teacher ever to receive the honor. In addition to her regular teaching duties, Ray now also serves as the high school’s guidance counselor.
During her Teacher of the Year acceptance speech, Ray said she’s not one for lots of attention or being in the spotlight.
Ray said that although she was urged to apply to graduate school after being valedictorian of her class at Colby College, she knew she wanted to teach in a rural Maine classroom like those she grew up in.
Now it’s time for that community to give something back to Ray and her family.
“We’re so excited,” Ray said.
Access to the family and cast was limited because filming already had begun Sunday afternoon, and in typical “Extreme Makeover” fashion, the family was preparing to be whisked away to Walt Disney World in Florida for a week while their old home is bulldozed and a new one built.
Volunteers and ABC crews flooded Wyman Road on Sunday as they prepared to set up the staging, cameras and lights and begin construction.
More than $600,000 in donated RVs from Motor Home & RV Super Center of Auburn that will be used throughout the week by cast members rolled into an empty field a few feet away. Security crews set up checkpoints and barriers; and Broughman Builders Inc. met the Ray-Smith family and prepared to get to work.
Builder and design meetings and family moves out. No public spectator section open.
Broughman Builders Inc. and crew march to the house and demolition begins. No public spectator section open.
Construction under way. Public spectator section open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day.
Construction completed and furniture and appliances are moved in. Public spectator section open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
“Move that Bus” – new house revealed. The crowd will be filmed at 10 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. when the bus is moved.
Volunteers. Professional builders who want to volunteer to help build the Ray-Smith home may call Resa Beal at 460-1088. If you would like to volunteer in some other way, call Bobbi Harris at 546-7544, ext. 3317.
Monetary donations. Donations are being collected at all branches of Machias Savings Bank. Donations also can be mailed to Machias Savings Bank, P.O. Box 557, Ellsworth 04605. Checks should be made payable to the Ray-Smith Family Project.
For project updates, visit www.bangornews.com and click on the Reality Bytes blog icon for the latest information on progress at the construction site, in addition to information on what’s needed for donations and volunteers. Information also will be available at www.extrememakeovermaine.com and www.broughmanbuilders.com.

Purchest Xl19i heat pump and airhandler system. After two years lost freon due to wear thru of bundled freon tubes. Fault like hell to get repaired. Found that Trane did not insullate tubing lines. Units produced after mine did have lines insullated and not touching. This was Tranes manufactoring problem all along but took three months before they would even cover the parts. Would not cover the labor or freon. Dealer would not due anything if not paid by Trane. Now my company owns Trane but I will never buy another one.
This unit was installed by builder in 1994. Only repairs done to it was a contactor and hard start relay.No freon was ever added.No yearly maintenance was ever done,only inside air filter changes. This unit still works well.Will change it only when it eventually fails.
Bought Trane heatpump in Nov. 2003. Originally bought 4 ton but salesman didnt measure ceiling height. So we have a 4ton exterior and 3 ton interior? Numerous problems. Asked to buy Extended warranty, paid $8900, for what. After 1st year and multiple visits from TECH, we were told we didnt have extended warranty?(although its on the purchase agreement) 1st pressures were wrong causing panel to burn which now we are told is what caused the compressor to over heat,unravel and leak. refrigerant leak 3X's due to shrader valves that were stripped upon initial installation. Now contaminants in system, could cause future additional refrigerant leaks. Is it worth $3000+ for new compressor or just buy entire new unit for $5000+ with tax credit and specials? Wont be a TRANE Local Installers are unqualified to admit mistakes which caused initial problems! TRANE Corp, has not been of any help regarding Certified Trained Installer's faults.
We have a 5-ton Trane heat pump installed by local contractor Hot Frost Heat and have had no problems. Had zoning issue, contractor was excellent and came back and fixed it without any hassle. Trane and reputable contractor is the way to go.
"It's hard to stop a Trane...from draining your wallet"
Bought a Trane XE1000 heat pump in late 1997 for $5600. After 5 years, reversing valve failed requiring replacement of outside unit for $1500. After another 7 years, compressor in the new unit failed and the quote is for another $1500 to replace the outside unit again. In my experience, Trane is nothing but a high-priced brand name that does not measure up to what it used to be. I will not be replacing this unit again.
"Existing Trane XL1200 Heat Pump"
I had a G.E. Weatherton heat pump installed in my home in 1978. G.E. later sold the Weathertron unit to Trane. It worked beautifully and never a problem. A good installer does make a difference and yes it cost more but was worth every penny. In 1992 I had the outdoor compressor replaced as a precaution and not because it broke down. Here it is 2010 (18 years later) and it is still working beautifully. I plan to replace this with a newer system as the entire unit is over 30 years old with the exception of the outdoor compressor. I live in the colder climate of northeastern Pennsylvania and plan to replace my Trane heat pump unit with another more energy efficient Trane hybrid unit. The dealer is expensive but also excellent and the unit has provided me over 30 years of trouble-free service. Trane is a great product but the installing dealer is what makes it a better than great product.
This is the deal. I sell HVAC systems for a living. I purchased a Trane unit for my home, but currently sell Carrier, Kenmore and Payne. Bottom Line: There are way too many variables to point the blame at any manufacturer. From design to install, the margin for error is high. To do it right, means you have a good company and a good warranty. PERIOD. No jack leg installers... and no cheap quotes without warranty. You have to protect yourself. You can spend $5000 on a new system and risk it or you can spend $7000 and know you will not have to pay any out of pocket expenses or replace units for 20-30 years. Do the math. People that get screwed or end up with crappy installation or products put themselves in that position. If you buy the cheapest product from bob's hvac. Then risk is high. If you buy a quality product, from a reputable, established company then risk is low. It's more about risk management than best price. Just a thought.
Had this system 3 yrs. It is a two stage unit. Works great. Very energy efficient!

After completing our first iPhone Application development at WebCastle, we decided to publish it over Cydia. We actually wanted to publish the app on Apple App store. But as we were unable to get a developer account on company name, we decided not to wait for getting it approved. We were thrilled to publish the app as fast as we did on the Chrome Store.
To publish iPhone app from xCode to app or ipa file, you need to get the code signature corrected. But you wont get it right unless you have a developer account costing $99.
This method works for xCode 3.2 with iOS 4.2. For older iOS versions, you may try this. Let me know your thoughts and tell me if you have a better method.
It doesn’t work in Xcode 4.2. It is secured another way, but i don’t know how.
Does this work with iOS 4.3 ? I am still getting that error.
I didnt tried yet. Will update you after checking through. But Im sure Apple should have blocked this method in latest releases.
Copy it into you Documents then edit it then move it back.

Yesterday, the Windows Store in Windows 8 contained 12,895 applications according to WinAppUpdate. That tally comes roughly 8 days following the moment in which it was estimated – via the same source’s analysis and information – that the Windows Store had crested the 10,000 app mark.
Thus, in 8 days, 2,895 applications were added. As a rate, that breaks down to 362 per day. Given that we have yesterday’s tally, adding in a half day’s haul for this specific day, and Microsoft has broken the 13,000 app mark. Obviously, this is a touch more loose than we would like, but we can only have data that is so precise in certain circumstances.
Not all applications are available in all regions, or languages. Your market could contain far fewer applications than the full, global 13,000.
Is the 362 app tally soft? No. At that rate, Windows 8 will tick up by around 10,000 apps monthly, leaving it likely over the 20,000 app mark by the time we exit November and enter into the final holiday push. 20,000 applications is hardly puffery; it pales compared to even Windows Phone’s 120,000+ tally, but for a platform so new, it will perhaps suffice.
Seeing a few, but not seeing a lot, of stellar apps hit the store.
13,000 apps is nothing to scoff at, as a start it’s passable. But even 30,000 apps by Christmas won’t be as useful as the 200 that matter most.

UDINESE are plotting a surprise move for injury plagued goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
The former Scottish international has been without a club since his release from Sunderland last year, which brought to an end his five season stay in the north-east.
Gordon, whose search for a new club was halted by his persistent knee injury, began coaching at Scottish Football League side Dumbarton.
The 30-year-old began training with Rangers this pre-season in an attempt to prove his fitness ahead of winning a potential contract.
However Tuttosport now suggest Udinese are ready to offer Gordon a football lifeline in Italy, with first-choice goalkeeper Zelijko Brkic not expected to return until January due to a damaged shoulder.
Head Coach Francesco Guidolin is desperate to add to his options after less than impressive performances by stand-in stopper Ivan Kelava.
Gordon, who has 40 international caps to his name, joined Sunderland in 2007 for £9m from Hearts in what was the highest fee paid by a British club for a goalkeeper at that time.

This recipe has been in our family for generations. It’s delicious, creamy and so comforting on a cold day. We like to eat it with grilled cheese or French bread.
First, make a roux (pronounced “roo”). Roux is a basic thickening agent used when making stews, soups and sauces. Traditional roux recipes call for equal parts of butter and flour, but in this creamy potato soup we prefer to use olive oil.
1. Heat oil in a pan. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the flour gradually and stir constantly. It should be smooth with no lumps. Keep stirring until the flour is light brown. Make sure it doesn’t burn.
2. Remove from heat and add water. Be very careful, the roux will be extremely hot, and when you add water, be careful not to splash yourself or get burned.
3. Add potatoes, carrots, Bay leaves, salt, pepper and Vegeta.
4. Bring to a boil and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are soft.
5. Mash with a potato masher instead of using a blender.
6. Stir in sour cream and parsley, and remove Bay leaves. For a vegan version of this soup, omit sour cream. The soup is still very yummy.
7. Serve hot with a slice of fresh French bread or grilled cheese.

In recent years we have witnessed a small number of cases where a request has been made by a deceased man’s partner for the retrieval of his sperm so that artificial insemination of the partner may be used to achieve a pregnancy. Some statutes proscribe posthumous insemination. For example, Victoria’s Infertility Treatment Act 1995 s43 indicates that a person must not (a) inseminate a woman with sperm from a man known to be dead, or (b) transfer to a woman a gamete from a person known to be dead. The stated penalty is a fine and/or two years imprisonment. The National Health and Medical Research Council’s guidelines on artificial reproductive technology also strongly proscribe posthumous conception.
A number of cases have tested the law in the UK, Victoria, NSW and Queensland, in which the requesting woman has usually been denied permission to use her partner’s sperm. This has been based, in part, on the fact that the deceased man has not provided explicit consent for “posthumous” conception but also on alleged uncertainty concerning the welfare of the child to be born and even a conclusion that a deceased person cannot have interests, including “best interests”.

The money is part of a $380 million national election protection program President Donald Trump approved in March. There was an effort to infiltrate Florida’s election systems ahead of the 2016 elections.
Florida is going to quickly get a $19 million federal grant aimed at protecting the state’s election systems from cyberattack.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s office on Monday announced the U.S. Election Assistance Commission had approved the grant request. The commission wrote a letter to Rubio saying the money would be given to the state this week.
Gov. Rick Scott ordered the state to apply for the money late last month. His move came one day after the state’s top election official said the money wouldn’t be available until after the November elections.

PENNSAUKEN – A man's body was discovered inside a vehicle Wednesday night outside the Benihana restaurant.
The Camden County medical examiner ruled the death of the 43-year-old Maple Shade man accidental, according to a spokeswoman for the county prosecutor's office.
However, Lt. Phil Olivo of the Pennsauken police department said Thursday the case remains under investigation even though there does not appear to be foul play. Authorities were withholding the man's identity.
Olivo said his department responded about 11:04 p.m. Wednesday to a call for an unconscious person in a car parked outside the restaurant at 5255 Route 70.

September 4, 2017 – Founded in 2006, The Debutante Ball celebrates the journey of five female, debut authors on their paths to publication. Through discussions that range from craft and creativity to copy edits and cover designs — plus weekly guest posts by published authors — The Debutante Ball offers guidance and a supportive community for aspiring and published writers alike. The collaborative, daily blog has helped to introduce the careers of industry elite, such as New York Times bestselling authors Eleanor Brown (The Weird Sisters) and Tiffany Baker (The Little Giant of Aberdeen County).
On Mondays you’ll hear from Cass Morris, whose historical fantasy, FROM UNSEEN FIRE, arrives on April 3, 2018 from DAW books.
In Aven, a city shaped as much by elemental magic as by war and the rule of law, an assassination attempt forces Latona, mage of Spirit and Fire, to unleash her latent powers to protect her sisters. When the dictator who threatened her family dies, she determines to take the opportunity to change the course of her life, but she quickly discovers that ambition has a high price. For readers of Juliet Marillier’s Sevenwaters series, the works of Guy Gavriel Kay, and everyone who loves Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
On Tuesdays you’ll hear from Lara Lillibridge, whose memoir, Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home, arrives in February, 2018 from Skyhorse Publishing.
Swimming naked with her lesbian parents in upstate New York. Sleeping locked in a cabin with her brother in rural Alaska. Flying 4,000 miles unaccompanied between her biological parents. Raised to be a free spirit by norm-defying parents, our protagonist, simply called “Girl,” has to define her own boundaries as she tries to fit into heteronormative suburban life, all while navigating her stepmother’s mental illness and her father’s serial divorces.
On Wednesdays you’ll hear from Kimmery Martin, whose contemporary novel, THE QUEEN OF HEARTS hits bookstores on February 13, 2018 from Berkeley.
When the unexpected reappearance of a former colleague reopens old wounds, physicians Zadie Anson and her closest friend Emma Colley are forced to confront the circumstances that nearly derailed their professional lives at the beginning of their careers. A smart, captivating novel set against a background of hospital rounds and life-or-death decisions, THE QUEEN OF HEARTS will appeal to fans of Grey’s Anatomy and Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies—Martin’s voice is authentic and surprisingly funny as it explores the complex nature of female friendship and the heart’s capacity for forgiveness.
On Thursdays you’ll hear from Julie Clark, whose contemporary novel, THE ONES WE CHOOSE, arrives August 2018 from Gallery/Simon & Schuster.
When geneticist Paige Robson decided to use an anonymous sperm donor, she believed she was protecting her child from the abandonment she faced with her own father. But when her son’s donor suddenly shows up in their life, she must choose between giving her son the truth he craves and losing the people she loves most because of it. THE ONES WE CHOOSE weaves the science of genetics with the story of a mother desperate to help her son find his place in the world. It will appeal to readers of upmarket women’s fiction, blending the high-concept emotional themes of Jodi Picoult with the scientific foundations of Lisa Genova’s novels.
And on Fridays you’ll hear from Kaitlyn Sage Patterson, whose YA fantasy, THE DIMINISHED, publishes on April 10, 2018 from HarlequinTEEN.
In the Alskad Empire, nearly everyone is born with a twin, two halves to form one whole, yet some face the world alone. Bo is one of the rare few singleborn, destined to succeed his great-aunt Runa on the throne of the Alskad Empire. Vi’s twin died in infancy, leaving her one of the diminished, doomed to succumb to the violent grief that destroys everyone whose twin has died. As their sixteenth birthdays approach, Bo and Vi face very different futures—one a life of luxury, the other years of backbreaking work. But a long-held secret and the fate of the empire are destined to bring them together in a way they never could have imagined. THE DIMINISHED is a sweeping, imperial fantasy told through dual perspectives that will appeal to fans of An Ember in the Ashes and The Queen of the Tearling.

The care and security I provide to your child is paramount. As an Ofsted Registered Childminder, I will do everything within my powers to protect, comfort and support your child in the event of a major incident, National Emergency or Terrorist Attack.
If we are involved or caught up in the incident I will comply fully with the instructions from the emergency services and constantly reassure the children in my care.
If you are caught up in an incident I will continue to look after your child until you are able to return or a person nominated is able to collect them.
I understand that during major incidents the mobile phone networks are often not available and even landlines can be cancelled to free up communication systems for the emergency services. I will however attempt to contact you on a regular basis and ask that you try to do the same. I will keep up to date on the situation using any media source available to me, radio, television, Internet etc. I will endeavour to protect your child from information or images that may alarm or distress them. If you wish we can have a pre-planned excuse that I can use to explain your delay in arriving.
I hope that I never have the need to put this procedure into practice but am happy to discuss with you any aspects of this policy.

xTimerChangePeriod() changes the period of a timer that was previously created using the xTimerCreate() API function.
xTimerChangePeriod() can be called to change the period of an active or dormant state timer. Changing the period of a dormant timers will also start the timer.
The configUSE_TIMERS configuration constant must be set to 1 for xTimerChangePeriod() to be available.
xTimer The handle of the timer that is having its period changed.
xBlockTime Specifies the time, in ticks, that the calling task should be held in the Blocked state to wait for the change period command to be successfully sent to the timer command queue, should the queue already be full when xTimerChangePeriod() was called. xBlockTime is ignored if xTimerChangePeriod() is called before the RTOS scheduler is started.
pdFAIL will be returned if the change period command could not be sent to the timer command queue even after xBlockTime ticks had passed. pdPASS will be returned if the command was successfully sent to the timer command queue. When the command is actually processed will depend on the priority of the timer service/daemon task relative to other tasks in the system. The timer service/daemon task priority is set by the configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY configuration constant.

In the mountain areas papaya grows well, if lacking the size and sweetness of the hot coastal regions.
This is a fruit which can easily be grown from seed. You just put it in the ground and it takes care of itself from then on.
In mountain areas there is a threat to fruit which is not present in the hot lowland areas: a wasp. This particular wasp lives at higher elevations only, and lays its eggs in the early developing fruit, basically destroying it.
To avoid this the just emerging fruit is enveloped in a plastic bag to protect it from the wasp. Later on, as the fruit gets larger this is not such a menace and the plastic bag can be removed.
here's an update: I've just learned that this is not a wasp at all, but a species of fruit fly which is perfectly camouflaged as a wasp! Right down to the sting at the back, which in this case it uses to inject its eggs into the fruit. Incredible!
Papaya flowers developing into fruit.
And the final result - Sangha Lila Papaya!
There are two varieties of passionfruit grown locally. The more common type is a slightly sour variety called maracuya, which is used for making a 'fresco' or fruit juice. They generally add a little tapa dulse (raw dried sugar cane extract) to this to sweeten it up.
We initially grew this vine over an overhead trellis, so the fruit would hang down and allow for easy picking. This turns out not to be the best way to do it.
The grenadilla is a sweet variety of passionfruit with an amazing range of tropical flavours in that one compact package.
To commercially grow either of these passionfruit vines one builds a series of posts with wire strung between them, similar to grapes. The vines just spread along them for long distances and the fruit is easy to harvest at waist level.

The human population growth in developed countries is stabilizing while that of developing countries including Nigeria is still increasing rapidly. Thus, the search for alternative sources of protein to meet up the population challenge is imperative. Economic indices indicate that as this population trend continues, more people are to be fed. Agricultural outputs needs to be increased rather than through food importation into such countries (Allen, 1993). In order to maximize food production and meet protein requirements in Nigeria, viable options need to be explored and evaluated (Owen et al., 2008). Among such alternatives is the use of livestock species that are yet to play a major role in animal production within these countries.
Fast-growing livestock such as rabbits possess a number of features that might be of advantage in the small holder subsistence – type integrated farming in developing countries. Rabbit farming in Nigeria is faced with myriad of problems, which have resulted to a gross shortage of meat to meet up the population challenge in our country (Nworgu, 2007). The growth rate of the Nigerian agricultural sector is below the potentials of natural and human resources due to high cost ofagricultural inputs, poor funding of agriculture, inadequate functional infrastructural facilities, inconsistencies of government agricultural policies, inadequate private sector participation, poor mechanized farming and little or no adoption of some simple agricultural technologies developed by scientists (Nworgu, 2007). In Nigeria, consumption of animal protein remains low at about 6.0-8.4 g/head/day which are far below the 13.5g per day prescribed by the WHO (Egbunike, 1997).
Rabbit production is a veritable way of alleviating animal protein deficiency in Nigeria (Ajala and Balogun, 2004). The rabbit has immense potentials and good attributes which include high growth rate, high efficiency in converting forage to meat, short gestation period, and high prolificacy, relatively low cost of production, high nutritional quality of rabbit meat which includes low fat, sodium, and cholesterol levels. It also has a high protein level of about 20.8% and its consumption is bereft of cultural and religious biases (Biobaku and Oguntona, 1997). The presence of caecal microbes enables the rabbit to digest large amounts of fibrous feed as most non ruminant species cannot (Taiwo et al., 1999).
1. What are the management procedures adopted by peasant farmers in Takum L.GA in rabbit production?
2. Does rabbit production influence socio economic development in Takum local government area, Taraba State?
3. What are the factors affecting rabbit production in Takum L.G.A, Taraba State?
4. Is the management of rabbit production in Takum L.G.A, Taraba State effective?
5. What are potentials and problems that may be envisaged in rabbit production in Nigeria?
The study on the management of rabbit production will be of immense benefit to the peasant farmers in Takum local government area of Taraba State in the sense that the study will try to establish a relationship between the management procedure in rabbit production and socio economic development in Takum local government area of Taraba State. The study will also serve as a repository of information to other researchers that desire to carry out similar research on the above topic. Finally the study will contribute to the body of the existing literature on rabbit production in Nigeria.
Peasant: a poor smallholder or agricultural labourer of low social status (chiefly in historical use or with reference to subsistence farming in poorer countries).

Forget the Enron, Madoff, and the WorldCom scandals that have been grabbing headlines and getting media attention. Employees report that the biggest ethical problems in the workplace are disrespect, favoritism and lack of follow through by those in charge.
According to the latest Employee Attitudes and Opinions Survey released by Watson Wyatt, many employees feel that there are day-to-day broken promises in the workplace. "One of the biggest drivers in commitment to the company is trust in senior management, " says Ilene Gochman. "This survey holds mixed news for employers."
Most employees feel confidence in their immediate supervisors and believe they are ethical. Only 11% state that their boss is dishonest or lacks integrity vs. 72% who see their bosses as ethical. But many employees, over 44%, question the ethics of upper management.
Of those who work for dishonest people, they report its everyday moral lapses that are causing the problems. Employees complain that their opinions are not considered and they are treated like commodities. Too often they observe favoritism and feel that the playing field is not level for all workers. Workers grumble about supervisors who try to say, "yes" to everyone causing confusion and lack of follow through.
This distrust in the top brass may be trouble for businesses that want to retain a loyal workforce. According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Professionals, more than eight in ten workers plan to look for a new job as the economy improves.
In addition to questioning the ethics of upper management, employees are frustrated with increased workloads, frozen wages and shrinking benefits due to the economy. While workers understand belt tightening when times are tough, many question the greed of corporate America. The mutual fund scandals, ridiculous CEO pay packages and bankruptcy of large businesses have left many employees asking, "Where's the money?"
"Companies behaving badly has been common during the downturn," according to Jeff Taylor, founder and CEO of Monster.com. "You have the greed of executive management and great inequities from your lowest-paid worker to your highest-paid worker."
Until now, the threat of pink slips has encouraged many workers to run scared and give everything to their jobs. Overtime is simply expected for many salaried workers. Nearly 40 percent of all worker spend at least 50 hours on the job per week. There are rumblings of a backlash, however. Websites like Work To Live.com and Center for a New American Dream.com are gaining momentum.
"In the last 15 years I've had a total of four weeks of vacation," writes one woman in a typical posting on the Work To Live site. "I used to have three people in my office doing what I do. Now there is just me...I can't keep going like this."
Many workers feel traumatized by years of downsizing and the recent downturn to the economy but feel they are paying too high a price. Often doing the work of several people, they find their workday is ever increasing with little time at home.
As the most recent job report from the Labor Department demonstrates hiring, some human resource managers are bracing for a stampede. Sibson Consulting is predicting that up to 16% of workers will leave their jobs in the next few years. Those turnover rates match the late 1990's when employees jumped around every few years.
Smart companies are looking at their leadership and management carefully now. They are also establishing recruitment and retention programs before the coming exodus. Recognition programs that say 'Thank You' and identify the dedicated efforts of employees go a long way to prevent future labor shortages.

Industrial Internet of Things networking company FreeWave has partnered with remote monitoring and surveillance firm McQ, to offer industrial users the ability to transmit video over long distances with low power consumption.
The two firms said that the combination of technologies would provide government and military, oil and gas, wastewater, and agriculture customers with the ability to transmit mission-critical footage cost-effectively over long distances. The solution would also enable integration with the network edge within the unlicensed 900MHz radio frequency.
The companies said that in the past, RF technologies with low power consumption didn’t have the required bandwidth or power necessary to sustain streaming video, but FreeWave can run video over a radio frequency of 900MHz using the ZumLink Z9-PE radio.
The joint technology will be deployed in a US government-funded international border surveillance project, scheduled for this summer.
But the firms added that the solution could work equally well in agricultural or oil machinery surveillance. It could also be used for collecting data on volcanic activity, agriculture, or wastewater, and from unmanned drones, along with identifying problems on roadways that are not connected to existing networks.
Scott Allen, chief marketing officer of FreeWave Technologies, said that the ability to stream video within the IoT has until now been “cost prohibitive and time-consuming, based on the need to install physical wire or deploy Wi-Fi”.
“Our joint solution will give customers the ability to access video streaming technologies reliably for critical missions in deserts, high mountain ranges, and other remote and physically challenging environments,” he said.
In many cases, the IoT will rely on low-cost, low-power technologies to unlock the value of connected devices and big data analytics. Video – along with AI – has long been one of the most challenging applications, because of the energy and processing resources needed to crunch large volumes of data, so this latest partnership is good news for the sector. It’s also further confirmation that the edge environment and radio frequencies will be among the key tech hotspots as the IoT spreads.

IAN WRIGHT thinks the Arsenal board are solely to blame for Alexis Sanchez joining Manchester United.
After getting his work permit ratified, Sanchez completed his move to Manchester United.
The deal saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head the other way to the Emirates, and he will hope to rebuild his career after failing to win favour under Jose Mourinho.
But Wright is adamant that Sanchez should not shoulder any of the blame for getting his wish of a switch to United.
“Gutted to see this but, he did say on many occasions he wants to win things!,” Wright wrote on Instagram.
Sanchez gave his own version of events after his move was confirmed and hit back at critics who claimed he didn’t give his all to the Gunners before he left.
“There are people (former club players) who have spoken with no knowledge of what happens inside the club and cause damage.
“I must say I always gave 100%, until the last day, when I asked to the Mister to be in the team, because I wanted to make a contribution.

The Low-Down: Is ATT's Plan To Turn HBO Into Netflix Lite Doomed?
Is ATT's Plan To Turn HBO Into Netflix Lite Doomed?
HBO has had a successful - which is to say popular and profitable-strategy. But its new owner, ATT, wants scale to move the needle and compete with Netflix.
This past February, HBO added the most U.S. subscribers in its history, boosting its user base by 11 percent (the company has some 142 million global subscribers). The steady growth of the premium-cable and streaming service to $6.3 billion in revenue last year helped power its parent company, Time Warner, to $31.3 billion in revenue—a 7-percent overall jump despite dips in other divisions. Since the telecom giant AT&T began its bid in 2016 to acquire Time Warner, it came to be widely understood that HBO was one of the most prized parts of the deal, which became official in June after a lengthy legal battle. The channel’s stature is what makes it baffling to learn of reports that the new Warner Media chief executive John Stankey recently lectured HBO employees on the hard times ahead. In the eyes of Stankey, an AT&T veteran, HBO is apparently too small, too nimble, and too boutique—ill-fitted for a media world that’s all about size. During a closed-door June 19 conversation with some 150 HBO staff, “Stankey never uttered the word ‘Netflix,’ but he did suggest that HBO would have to become more like a streaming giant to thrive in the new media landscape,” reported The New York Times. That means aggressive expansion, with a flood of new shows, to give HBO the kind of massive library Netflix is currently building.
