Casino700 - withdrawal not being paid

posted on February 28, 2013.

I recently signed up on casino770 and they sent a text to my mobile with a code for a free £10 no deposit bonus. So I happily went on the site and used the code. Luckily I managed to build the £10 up to £210 on just slot machines this was after wagering 30x (£300) the bonus. I checked the terms and conditions which explained before withdrawing I would need to deposit £30. I was happy to do this as I thought I would just be able to withdraw immediately after depositing... To my surprise they then gave me a 100% matched 1st deposit without asking if I wanted this. This obviously annoyed me as now I couldn't withdraw the original winnings or my deposit as now I had to now wager 30x this bonus (£900) before I could withdraw again. So I thought I was scammed in to this without really explaining that would be the case, never really a good start to joining a company.. But again luckily with my new balance of £270 with the £30 deposit and 100% matched £30 on top of the £210 I managed to stake out there ridiculous requirements basically where I left it with £270 balance. So now at this stage it allowed my withdrawal request minus the £40 bonus they had given me so allowed a withdrawal request of £230.

This is where the fun began as then came the emails requesting Identity documents which I explained I didn't own any passport or drivers license, however after a conversation with one of the payment verification departments they offered a solution where this would not be required. They said if I opened a SKRILL (money bookers) account then I wouldn't need to send these documents as they were in partnership with them. So I went ahead with this and set up a money bookers account as this sounded good to me as the original bank account I used to deposit was closed anyway so gave me an alternative to withdraw in to. I then realised that upon opening this money bookers account I had to deposit again to this site before I could withdraw via the same payment method. This I did however as it seemed the only way to withdraw the money I had deposited and also the money I had won.

So at this point I now had to arrange to cancel my original withdrawal request which they happily arranged immediately, the only thing they have arranged immediately I may add (probably because they thought it was to give up and just gamble the balance). I then requested the new balance of £240 to be withdrawn now through the registered money bookers account....

To my surprise they instantly asked for all the same documents they originally asked for which I haven't got, so there resolution just meant they had another £10 off me and lied to do so. In the end I made arrangments to get a birth certificate and a number of screenshots which they finally accepted after a week of daily discussions with then over the phone and via there online live chat....

So to round it off after all that now they are not communicating at the final stage of withdrawing. All that needs doing is the withdrawal to be validated to be paid in to my money bookers account to which there response is the same every time.... 'we have passed that on to the relevant department and will contact you shortly'. I seriously can not believe how unbelievably bad this casino and website this is. This site should surely be closed down after all the complaints I have read about it.... All in all I have been waiting since the 08/02/13 and feel I have got nowhere, please help resolve this as my dealings with them seem to be like a broken record. even if I receive the winnings I still would like to know how sites like this are allowed to get away with this.

Is there any reason why there is no reply and why this has not been posted publicly yet?

Dear Chevaunne,

Your complaint on this forum is surprising, as we have done everything in our power to solve your situation.

Kindly be reminded that your file was incomplete and we have contacted you both by e-mail and by phone in order to inform you of the required documents.

After your file was completed, our payment agent was able to process your withdrawal request of 240.14 GBP, which was validated on 2013-03-06. An e-mail of confirmation was sent to you the moment the withdrawal request was validated.

Therefore, we kindly ask you to check your bank statement within the following days, and get back to us if you have any further inquiries.

Please take into account the fact that every withdrawal request has certain procedures which need to be followed.

We thank you for your patience and understanding and we remind you that we are available on chat and e-mail 24/7, for any questions you might have.

Best regards,

Customer Service

I have now received the funds in to my account, this however does not remove the fact that your incompetence to dealing with a complaint is anything other than pathetic. I can not believe the time it took to get to this resolution.

My word of advice to your unbelievably bad casino would be to take identification documents upon signing up and before any deposits can be made. This would allow genuine gamblers to know there will be no problem when withdrawing. I know this will not happen however as this is part of your money making schemes that you have in place.

And for you to question why I raised a complaint confuses me some what as any normal casino that accepts a deposits does not take a month of back and forth chats to the same people, receiving the same answers. I assume I only received the withdrawal because I registered the complaint on I may be wrong but coincidently when I advised you of my complaint externally you finally arranged my request. I also have a statement quoted by yourselves in the original email requesting documents stating:

'Once we have received the requested copies, we will be happy to offer you a £ 30 bonus, so that you can go on having fun with Casino770.'

Just another promise that wasn't arranged. I strongly advise people to avoid at all costs as this is easily the worst online casino I have played on. the odds are already stacked against you gambling but to add to that percentage obviously certain casinos get greedy and this is one hungry casino. They have no complaint process, they have no management to deal with, they have no contact with specific departments other than email and they have no idea how to deal with people... Happy to take your money, extremely reluctant to pay anything back, stick to your main stream casinos and avoid these dodgy scam artists like the plague.

best regards

Photo of the website of nasire

Moroccan leather webshop

The young, Zurich-based fashion label nasire designs and produces leather products of high quality. Their flagship product are precious and functional leather bags. All goods are being produced in Marrakech. The exchange between the two cities Zurich and Marrakech is an essential part of this project as Marrakech’s architecture has been a decisive source of inspiration for the design of the bags. nasire’s hallmark is the traditional moroccan tanning process. We developed an online shop featuring straightforward checkout for the lifestyle label from Zurich. The overall design of the website has been kept minimalistic – very much in contrast to the elaborate intro which presents visuals inspired by moroccan patterns. In 2016, we realized the website together with nasire.

Autogas In Aircraft

This week, we would like to know your thoughts on autogas use in aircraft.

For AVweb's Question of the Week, click here.

Previous Results

We received over 700 responses to our question last week on yoke versus stick controls. Thirty-four percent prefer flying with a stick-equipped airplane, saying it gives them a better "feel" for the airplane. Only 13 percent fly with yokes exclusively, while 42 percent fly with and enjoy both types of controls. One reader offered some advice on choosing the best type of control. "Control choice depends on the aircraft. Side sticks virtually demand fly-by-wire or at least low control forces. Center sticks work well for light aircraft or small cockpits. Heavy aircraft or control forces need a yoke. Match the control to the application and don't worry about what looks cool." Cool? Us?

John Bormann

From BR Bullpen

John William Bormann

BR page

Biographical Information[edit]

Catcher John Bormann has played in the majors, coming up straight from Class A.

He hit .407 in high school, winning team MVP all four years. He also had over 1,700 combined yards as the school's quarterback in football and 140 tackles at safety. He hit .211/.250/.276 as a college freshman at the University of Texas at San Antonio, then .286/.349/.355 as a sophomore, fielding .996 and picking off 14 runners, leading NCAA Division I entering the postseason. In his junior year, he produced at a .288/.341/.404 clip and led Conference USA with 13 pick-offs. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 19th round in 2014 but did not sign. His senior year, he hit .273/.384/.398 and scored 44 runs in 58 games. He was named All-Western Athletic Conference. He was a 24th-round selection by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2015 amateur draft. Tyler Stohr was the scout.

He began his career with the Bristol Pirates of the Appalachian League, hitting .235/.286/.286 with no homers and 11 RBIs in 25 games in 2015. In 2016, he played 52 games with the West Virginia Power of the South Atlantic League, hitting .243/.286/.339 with 2 homers and 20 RBIs. He was then assigned to the Bradenton Marauders of the Florida State League to begin 2017.

On April 30, 2017, he was with Bradenton when he got an unexpected call to drive across the state of Florida to join the big league Pirates who were playing the Miami Marlins that afternoon. Regular catcher Francisco Cervelli was unavailable because of a sore foot shortly before game time, and the team needed an emergency back-up. The top four catchers on the minor league depth chart were all in Pennsylvania and couldn't make it in time (Elias Díaz, Jacob Stallings, Tomas Morales and Zane Chavez). Daniel Ortiz, fresh off his major league debut, was sent down to make room. Backing up Chris Stewart, he made his debut that day, pinch-hitting for Josh Harrison and striking out against Jarlin Garcia in the 9th inning of a 10-3 loss. After the game, he was sent back down as Díaz was called up.

"Double filtered for an extra smooth taste"

"Cobra - The less gassy bottled beer"

with slogans like that, how could i pass up this one.

It poured a clean light yellow with a two finger head. Supprisingly, it lingered, slowly collapsing into a marshmellow-like surface.

Plenty of "gas" but not much nose. Kind of adjuncty, with little hop smell.

I have to admit, though, it is pretty smooth. Decently refreshing, if not a little light. This beer is overall suprisingly pleasent. I had my expectations set pretty low, though.

d: i can't understand how the label on this beer is covered in medals and awards; for me it was only a bit above your typical macro; people say, however, that this beer goes well with curry and that i find to be believable and the only possible benefit

I am normally ambivalent/ unmoved by lagers, as a rule.
On this occasion, however, there was (superb) Indian food being served and I was in the mood. Good decision.

I found the head to be typical of a good lager- thin and some, but not a whole lot, of retention. No chemical foaming agents in this beer.
It poured a deep golden color, darker than I expected, but not too dark for the style. Very pleasing with its tight bubbles coming up.
There was little nose/ aroma but I counted that as a good thing. This beer came in an green bottle with an attractive label (and a claim on it that it was brewed for Indian Royalty, no less!). As a home brewer, I can tell you that green bottles have storage problems when light is involved, so I thought there could have been an off (skunky) taste or smell.

No sir, it was a crisp, slightly sweet flavor with no extra hop flavor coming through. Tightly balanced in that respect. Very nice, actually.

I read the label again: 500 years of brewing tradion, superior ingredients, yada, yada, yada, brewed in the UK under licence. Hmm...

I quested for the "gypsum-water" taste or hop flavoring that I can usually pick out in British beers (like Newcastle or Old Speckled Hen) but there was only the slightest hint of any adjunct flavors.

Overall, it was superior to most lagers I've had. I would order it again at a restaurant but I have better things to buy six packs of.

    I live just far enough outside of Houston that I am just beyond the beer scene. I remember vaguely conversation about some new Houston breweries and possibly a brewpub. Anyone have any recent news on this? Are there any new local establishments worth supporting?

    None have opened yet, but here's some of the latest info:

    Fort Bend Brewing: (newsletter)

    8th Wonder Brewery: (old but good article)

    City Acre: (newsletter)

    Moon Tower Inn: The only info they put out there is via Facebook updates. Sounds like they're getting closer (but it's sounded like that for months).

    The Brewery Incubator: (mission via Facebook) "To create the world's first brewery incubator, created to foster the development and launch of craft breweries by providing a pilot facility, support network and audience accessible to all aspiring brewers."

    Also be on the lookout for Cottonwood to open in Garden Oaks soon. Not a brewery or brewpub, but I anticipate this to be one the best beer spots in town. Daniel (Dajtai007) is the chef and beer guy.

    There was one that I heard of in the Heights that can't come to mind. Not Buffalo Bayou..

    Also, 8th Wonder should be running up in the next few months. They were set to start brewing this month but 2 weeks to launch they found out there was no gas pipes.. The city just used a survey for the building they were on from the 40s and I think construction in the 60s took the pipe outs. They didn't catch this until it was close to brewing time, now their waiting on the city pretty much to get them set up.

    I took a class with Aaron Corsi, the head brewer a while back. Made some beer at UH, went to the brewery a few times and even helped a bit with their pilot system. Really down to earth guys, I hope to see great thing from them soon. I know their pretty busy with Eatsie Boys and Aaron teaching and trying to get his PHD but I expect great things from these guys.

    The beerfoot beach bar is Yagas ploy at bullying Brews Brothers. From what I have heard the owner opened it purely because he had money to do so and wanted to take money away from them (or so I have heard). Looks like Brews Brothers will have the better tap list and Justin always seems to have connections and gets amazing kegs that some places in Houston have trouble getting. Doesn't hurt having another craft bar here but until I see something out of the ordinary, Brews is the way to go.

    This is true to a degree, Mike (Yagas owner) is kind of a douche, but hes also just capitalizing on what Justin (Brews Brothers) started last year and trying to milk the craft beer scene. I don't think any real craft beer lover is going to take Beerfoot seriously and I can promise you they will have BMC on tap soon, their location will dictate this and people will go in there asking for bud light enough that they will offer it. Any bar that has blue moon and shiner pale ale on tap is one angry customer away from having bud light.

    Justin is the man however.

    For the love of god dont go there.

    Daniel and some others will vouch for this as well. Went the 1st week, atmosphere is crappy, music is too loud and dunno why they were blasting trance music that night. Mojito that was made for me was so crappy I had to send it back (and ive only sent back 2 or 3 drinks in my life). Margarita they made instead was even worse but I didnt want to send it back so I struggled to drink it down (they served me a margarita in a pint glass, and it was full all the way up to the top.... thats when you know your bar is shitty). All of their taps were decent, but the prices varied based on ABV, not on quality. Pecan Porter was $6 or $7 IIRC.

    Overall, dont waste your time or money here. Hands down the worst bar ive been to inside the loop.
  21. jbeezification

    $7 for how much? At the place closest to my house, they have it @ $4.50 for 16oz or $6 for 23oz, and on Tuesdays they take $1 off Texas beers. If its $7 for 16 oz, then yes, that seems high.
  23. Azzy

    Azzy Initiate (0) Jul 16, 2012 Texas

    Yeah. At cedar Creek it's $2 for 16 oz on Tuesdays. And yeah $7 seems high. I think I pay $6 for a half growler fill at petrol

    Also you guys complaining on price should go to Alice's Tall Texan. $2 for a large goblet lol

    Yeah, its not a beer bar. They have taps, but in no way shape or form is it a beer bar. They serve every beer in pint glasses and for smaller pours, they just pour it into a pint glass but dont fill it all the way up. They also dont have a beer there that they have at practically any dive bar in town. $7 for 12 oz IIRC. And yes, I dont think ive seen it that high ANYWHERE in Houston over the past year, specially for 12 ounces. But for Independence Convict Hill, they wanted $9 per bottle. No BS.

    But go ahead and take a chance if you want. Just dont say I didnt warn you.

    The Brewery Incubator mentioned above is live on Kickstarter at This will actually be the first co-working and incubator brewery in the world.
    The facility mentioned above in San Antonio, Bake Broil & Brew is not actually licensed to sell beer. The founder of the Brewery Incubator actually worked with them to help create the concept modeled after the Kitchen Incubator in Houston, a leading national food business incubator pioneer.
    Definitely check it out on Kickstarter and at to sign up for the mailing list because beer is being given away right now at some awesome events!
    The facility is fully built out and the Kickstarter is currently funding a new larger brew system. Projected opening date is early March but there are plenty of tastings, dinners and parties in February.

Can fish oil help prevent psychiatric disorders?

February 13, 2012
by News release
| Reprints

Researchers at Zucker Hillside Hospital's Recognition and Prevention (RAP) Program who have worked with teenagers at risk for serious mental illness for the past decade are now studying the effectiveness of Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) for treating psychiatric symptoms.

This new study is a National Institute of Mental Health-funded randomized double-blind trial that was designed to test whether Omega-3 fatty acids improve clinical symptoms, and help adolescents and young adults (ages 12 to 25) who are at elevated risk for severe psychiatric disorders function better in school, work and other social environments.

"Of the 300 adolescents who have participated in the RAP Program, most have shown substantial improvement," noted Barbara Cornblatt, Ph.D., director of the Recognition and Prevention (RAP) Program and investigator at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. "If this study continues to show success, Omega 3 could offer a natural alternative to the range of medications and therapies now offered to RAP participants. Ultimately, the goal of the RAP Program is to intervene and prevent illness before symptoms get worse."

Omega 3 fatty acids are critical for normal brain function and they have been increasingly studied as potential treatments for medical and psychiatric disorders. The RAP Program study will randomly assign participants to either Omega 3 supplementation or to a placebo, and will compare the groups on key measures of symptoms and functioning after six months. Participants in both groups will be monitored closely on a monthly basis and compensation will be provided. All supplements are offered free of charge.

For more information on the RAP Program research and clinical studies, including the Omega 3 study, call 718-470-8115 or visit the RAP website at

Belle Grove

Deliciously different yet cosy & comfortable, click below to view...

Belle Grove may sit in a tranquil corner of rural England, but it’s conveniently placed for shopping in nearby market towns and the Suffolk coastline where that special combination of sky, sun, sea, dunes, marshes and calm continues to attract walkers as well as artists, musicians and writers.  Not to mention great foodie opportunities!

“A feast for the eyes both inside and out…”

But Belle Grove has become a destination in itself. One of its unique qualities is allowing you to feel as you’ve been truly ‘away’ without travelling far.

 ‘Away’ in the sense of being transported to an exotic locale but also in the way the surroundings encourage you to unwind, de-stress and relax.

Musings of a guest…

“As we passed through the gateway we might have been forgiven for thinking
 we had stepped into a fairy story or
the set
 of a Tim Burton film,
 half expecting to stumble, like Alice in Wonderland,
 across a white rabbit brandishing a pocket watch or

a plump caterpillar puffing on a hookah.
 But had Alice wandered in here
she would have felt cosseted
not confused…”

Just a few extracts from the Guest Book…

“The best & most original place we’ve stayed”

“Such high quality and attention to detail”

“It’s rare to find somewhere that combines such uniqueness of character with the feeling of home”

“Sumptuous textures & colours with an eclectic collection upcycled & creatively re-appropriated”

“If you are after an escape, wine in front of a fire, the sound of birds not cars, this is hard to beat”

“The perfect base from which to relearn the art of relaxation”

“Often a 2nd visit doesn’t match up to memories but this was just as amazing”

“You deserve 10 stars for this oasis!”

Apple iPhone 4S Siri: The Final (Email Marketing) Frontier

Oct 04 2011, 08:36 PM by

These are the voyages of the Apple iPhone 4S, it’s ongoing mission: to boldly go where no smartphone has gone before. This morning, when Apple introduced the new iPhone 4S, there had been widespread rumors that it would have incorporated a revolutionary new voice-activated interface. However, not even the most fervent of Apple enthusiasts would have predicted Siri, the new iPhone function that leverages a highly sophisticated level of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to understand your voice commands and respond clearly and accurately.

The prospect of conducting a conversation with a handheld device may be novel enough, but Siri presents a breadth of opportunities to online marketers that have never previously existed. As is usually the case when new technological paradigms are established, the early adopters who can come up with the most powerful and compelling applications for that technology are the ones who triumph over their slower competitors.
A Game Changer
Siri is nothing less than a game changer for mobile marketing, as it paves the way for fully voice controlled automated assistants that actually work. Siri is not the stereotypical voice recognition application that types “putter on a petal stool” when you say “put her on a pedestal.” By applying a remarkably advanced AI to its voice recognition system, Apple has been able to create the most lifelike and realistic voice ever to issue from the cybersphere. Through the implementation of Siri technology, not only can your email newsletter take the form of a realistic voice more like a phone call than a marketing message, but it can be interacted with in real time.
Not for Kitchen-Table Programmers
Granted, applying AI in an email marketing campaign at this hyperelevated state is not something for kitchen-table HTML coders to tackle. However, you can be certain that in the days ahead there will be a flurry of activity as programmers provide easy-to-use Siri interfaces that will allow you to place your entire product catalog into a voice activated conversational mode and be able to answer many of the questions that your customers might pose. Any queries that stump Siri can be readily directed to your Customer Service personnel: the ones with pulses who actually demand paychecks, benefits and take up office space.
Mastering the Most Natural Human Interface
The world of high technology is dogged by products that are overhyped and ultimately underdeliver. Anyone who remembers the promises of how the Segway was going to change the urban environment forever can testify to the truth in that statement, and let’s not even mention Microsoft Vista, Olestra or the Betamax. Therefore you can’t be blamed if you are approaching with trepidation the prospect of your email marketing being driven by customers happily engaging in conversations with a piece of plastic that result in your sales levels spiking. Unlike the overhyped technoflops that came before it, the key to the effectiveness of Apple’s latest innovation is that unlike almost all of the computerdom that came before it, Siri presents an interface that can be mastered just as easily by the IT manager of a Fortune 500 corporation as it can by your grandma who still gets up off her chair to change the channel. It is an essential aspect of human life to converse, and by mastering this most natural of all interfaces, Siri is destined to become the new standard in online marketing.

Birth Control Without Prescription

MOST POPULAR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS: Alesse | Desogen | Duphaston | Levlen | Mircette | Ortho Tri-Cyclen | Plan B | Yasmin

The only birth control method that is 100% effective is abstinence

The word 'abstinence' means abstaining from sexual intercourse. Today, many teenagers are being educated about this form of protection against unwanted pregnancies. The rate of teenager pregnancies has escalated over the past 10 years at an alarming rate. The number of teenagers with sexually transmitted diseases has also risen. In many countries, sex education with an emphasis on abstinence is being given to young teenagers in an attempt to reduce these statistics.

Teenagers are encouraged not to have sexual intercourse until they are married. They are told that sex before marriage is not only morally wrong, but they can also be infected with sexually transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS. Abstinence education does not involve information about any other birth control methods. The educationists who promote abstinence believe that, because it is successful with driving, drinking, and drugs, it will discourage teenagers from having sex.

However, there are many people who disagree. Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of abstinence and then you can form your own opinion. The biggest advantage is that teenagers get to learn that the only way to avoid an unwanted pregnancy 100 percent is through abstinence. In addition, it makes them realize that abstinence can save them from sexually transmitted diseases.

Another big advantage is that teenagers are spared the psychological and emotional trauma that comes with an unwanted pregnancy. Many women who became pregnant as young girls say that they regret being sexually active at the time. In the case where the girls gave up their children for adoption, or had an abortion, many say that they carried the guilt for years. This caused unhappiness and depression in later life, and they also got into relationships/marriages that did not work. If a teenager practices abstinence, he or she is more likely to form a long-lasting and loving relationship.

Now, let's look at the other side of the coin - what critics of abstinence say. Firstly, the biggest disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that teenagers will, in fact, not have sex even if they say they won't. Apparently, there is evidence to prove this claim. Many teenagers have in fact gone to the extreme by starting to experiment with sex at even younger ages.

Critics say that by telling a teenager to be abstinent is only going to make them more interested in having sex. It's the old story of an adult telling a teenager to do something for his or her own good, and the teenager responding by doing precisely the opposite, as an act of rebellion.

Some believe that teenagers are going to experiment with sex whether their parents and teachers like it or not. Therefore, critics believe that teenagers should rather be educated about birth control methods so that they can practice safe sex.

Having looked at the pros and cons of this controversial subject, you might be one of the numerous people who believe that the ideal solution is a combination of abstinence education and birth control education. Teachers and parents should perhaps teach teenagers that they should only indulge in sexual intercourse if they feel it is right, and if they use contraceptives.

Jason’s Deli cuts high-fructose corn syrup from menu

Industries & Tags
Retailing & Restaurants

Jason’s Deli has eliminated high fructose corn syrup from its culinary items.

Effectively immediately, all of the restaurants owned by the Beaumont-based deli chain will feature high-fructose corn syrup-free versions of breads, dressings, desserts and many other food items.

The removal of HFCS is the latest in the chain’s efforts to offer quality food that is also healthy, and thus free of not only HFCS but also MSG (monosodium glutamate) and artificial trans-fats, said Rusty Coco, an owner in Jason’s Deli, a restaurant specializing in selling freshly made sandwiches, salads and soups.

“To our more than 30 million customers, we would like to announce that we have accomplished the rare hat trick for a restaurant chain — with hundreds of units eliminating artificial trans-fats, MSG and high-fructose corn syrup in food,” said Coco, who serves as executive vice president of the chain.

Coco said that the task to remove HFCS from its foods was “an enormous undertaking” — but one that will also result in healthy food that tastes better.

“We’re fighting ‘The Battle for Real Food,’ as the food industry has gotten addicted to cutting back on quality ... Our aim is to serve the tastiest meals at the best price ... ,” Coco said. “We challenge the entire restaurant industry to follow our footsteps. Create ‘clean’ food because consumers can taste the difference.”

Jason’s Deli has not yet made a decision regarding HFCS in its beverages. As part of that effort, it is asking for people to log on at to vote on how the chain should move forward.

Founded in 1976, Jason’s Deli currently boasts more than 200 stores in 25 states. The company has 19 restaurants in the Houston area.

Black Hole 403-0
Lost Stories - The Purple Cow
1. Original
2. Johan Gielen Remix
3. Julius Beat & Olbaid Remix

Our friends from India, Lost Stories, present their brand new single “Purple Cow” on the Black Hole imprint.

Lost Stories have outdone themselves with this beautiful new track. “Purple Cow” is definitely one that follows all the ingredients to become a trademark ISOS production. Listening to the original, you can hear that the boys took their time to work on a nice and smooth opening intro before they unleash the beats. The elusive vocals that we hear throughout the song add that nice bit of mystery to “Purple Cow”, but it’s especially the initial synth programming on the eighth notes that gives a superb drive to it all. Everyone on the dancefloor will easily consider this to be the climax of the night and you can hear it for yourself while checking out the promo of the original version: the break has an absolutely majestic batch of synths in it. Undeniable hit.

Johan Gielen reworked the original completely and worked with fat pumping beats, driving hi-hats and even more synths on top of it all. His remix overall breathes that lovely feeling of the large events from the mid-nineties and will work perfectly in the big rooms of today. Julius Beat and Olbaid focused on the string driven arrangement of the original and even recorded additional melodylines in an attractive stop-and-go drum program, perfect for the true trance live sets!

Supported by:
Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Cosmic Gate, Paul van Dyk,  Gareth Emery, Eddie Sender, Miss Nine, Frank Ellrich, David Casto.

CGC Insider #4: Tape And Comic Book Grading

Posted by February 15, 2017 Comment

If you’ve ever visited this site to stare in amazement at a nice high grade copy of Wonder Woman #1 or Superman #2 and wondered how they became known as the best-graded copies, or wondered exactly what the difference was between this particular copy of Action Comics #1 and this other copy of Action Comics #1, you’re not alone. Learning how to grade a comic book takes years of experience, and even then, debating the difference between a 9.0 and a 9.2 is a favorite topic of conversation in some parts of the internet. And even when CGC has graded a comic for you, it’s important to know what that means. Nobody should pay $3,207,852.00 for a comic, or even $32.00, without having a sense of what the info on the CGC label means, and how it was determined.

This week, CGC Primary Grader  Matt Nelson, discusses the impact of tape on comic book grading.

This installment of CGC Insider is part of a series, tune in here next week around this time for another new episode, and visit the CGC Insider archives to catch up or revisit the entire series.

How to Remove Carpet - Bob Vila

What Would Bob Do? Removing Wall-to-Wall Carpeting

Bob Vila answers a reader's question about removing wall-to-wall carpeting. To submit a question of your own, visit the Forum!

How to Remove Carpet

I am moving to a new house where the living room and dining area have wall-to-wall carpeting. I asked the previous owner, and he told me there is hardwood flooring underneath. Could you please tell me how to remove carpet?

Even with regular vacuuming, carpeting accumulates a great deal of dust, dirt, and debris. So if and when you finally decide to rip it up, be sure to give the floor covering one last good vacuuming. Empty the room of furnishings, open the windows, and don your dust mask—then get to work!

– Large contractor trash bags
– Nail puller pliers
– Steel putty knife
– Flat pry bar (at least 15″)
– Hammer
– Utility knife (or tin snips)
– Leather work gloves
– Carpet padding adhesive remover (optional)
– Scraper (optional)

Was your carpeting installed under shoe molding? Assuming it was, the first thing to do is remove that trimwork with your putty knife and pry bar. Check the molding for damage: If it remains in good shape, save it for reuse. Chances are the trim is full of nails; when pulling them out, take care not to inflict any avoidable damage. If the molding looks a little worse for wear, consider giving it a fresh coat of paint prior to reinstallation.

Now that there is no obstruction between you and the carpeting, use a utility knife or a sharpened pair of tin snips to cut the material into three- or four-foot-wide strips. (Cut all the way through the backing but stop short of the flooring beneath.) Once done, begin pulling the carpet away from the tack strips on the perimeter. Roll up the sections as you remove them, placing them into heavy-duty trash bags ready for disposal.

Related: Bob Vila Radio: Recycling Carpet

Go to work on the tack strips, which are typically nailed to the floor and have rows of staggered tacks that face up to “grab” the carpet. Because the tacks are so sharp, it’s wise to wear leather work gloves at this stage. Insert the hooked end of your pry bar under a tack strip, then press down on the long end to lift the strip. Place all strips within rolls of carpeting, so the tacks can’t tear through the plastic garbage bags.

The final step is to remove the carpet padding. If it has been installed with adhesive, laborious scraping may be necessary, or you can try a commercially available adhesive remover. If the padding has been stapled into place, you can rely on nail puller pliers to do the job without gouging your floor surface. Note that before being able to grab the nails with pliers, you might first have to coax them a little with a putty knife.

The white plastic backing on our shower door mirror is cracking and peeling off. Is there anything I can do to repair/reseal the backing so that the mirror can be saved?

You can try 100% pure silicone. This stuff is messy, and it doesn't clean up with just water. However it is durable,will stick to most surfaces and impervious to water.

We create circuits that are both beautiful and functional

Introducing PCBmodE

Saar Drimer

In my spare time I've been working on a hobby project of mine called 'PCBmodE' -- a printed circuit board (PCB) design tool. Existing tools were too restrictive for the kind of boards I wanted to create, so I wrote one from scratch in Python.

PCBmodE was motivated by:
  • the desire to easily create arbitrary shapes on all PCB layers;
  • the need for version controlled primary source files written in open, free, and standardised formats and languages; and
  • the frustration with purpose-built GUI particularities, and the inability to easily define feature shapes and locations in a precise and consistent manner.

In the long term, PCBmodE will hopefully motivate:
  • an open, comprehensive, community-based repository of electronic components; and
  • a netlist-based design tool, from which both layout and schematics are generated.

Here's how it works: PCBmodE reads shape and placement information stored in json files (each for board, parts, pads, etc.) to produce an SVG graphical representation of them. Routing is (currently) manually drawn with Inkscape, then extracted by PCBmodE and stored in an input json file. The SVG is then  'gerberised' into individual Gerber layer files for manufacturing. When viewed with Inkscape, individual layers (etch, soldermask, silkscreen, etc.) can be shown or hidden -- bring up the layer pane with CTRL+SHIFT+L. Below is an example board, the first that's going to be manufactured using PCBmodE.

png of board (click to enlarge)

Yes, it's artistic. One main reason I developed this software is so I can create functionally beautiful boards!

The board's function is a 40-pin 0.5 mm to 2 mm to 0.1 " header interface with ten LEDs for good measure. Note that everything is generated from textual description stored in json files, and all the text is derived from SVG fonts, which means that you can use any font you like. Also, all shapes are SVG paths, and so can be arbitrarily rotated, scaled, and mirrored. The software is at a very early stage; it can't currently handle drills or more than a single layer, and doesn't have schematics or even a netlist.

I intend to release the Python source code (and the boards' source code of course), under a permissive license as soon as I'm happy that it isn't going to hurt anyone's eyes, and is in a somewhat usable state. If you're interested in contributing or discussing the future of this software, please get in touch.

Please let me know what you think!

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fined D.A. Davidson & Co. $375,000 for failing to protect confidential customer information that hackers stole from its computer systems in late 2007, but credited the firm for its response to customers after it learned of the breach and for cooperating with criminal law enforcement agencies.

FINRA announced the settlement yesterday. The Great Falls, Mont.-based firm agreed to pay the fine without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, which revealed that some 230,000 client accounts were breached, 192,000 of which were for individual customers. The rest were corporate and other types of accounts, FINRA said.

Book Review

‘High Price’ by Carl Hart

An experienced voice rethinks the war on drugs

Columbia University neuroscientist Carl Hart used and sold drugs as a youth in Miami. He weaves personal stories with research to debunk what he considers myths about addiction.

Columbia University neuroscientist Carl Hart used and sold drugs as a youth in Miami. He weaves personal stories with research to debunk what he considers myths about addiction.

Though President Nixon launched “The War on Drugs” in 1971, the most aggressive antidrug policies, including harsh mandatory prison sentences for possession of even small amounts of narcotics, were enacted during the Reagan administration. Thirty years later, 20 million Americans (roughly 1 in 15) use illegal drugs regularly. We seem to be losing the war. Some, including Columbia University neuroscientist Carl Hart, think we were fighting the wrong war to begin with.

In “High Price,” Hart argues that drugs are less a cause than a symptom of a broken society. He uses his own life story to illustrate the point that addiction, poverty, and crime are not inevitable consequences of drugs. Rather, he claims, drugs are an attractive diversion for people living in despair. It’s the causes of despair, Hart believes, not the drugs, on which we should be making war.

Hart was born and raised in an African-American community in Miami amid domestic violence, poverty, abysmal schools, guns, and drugs. As a youth, he used and sold drugs, stole, held up a man at gunpoint, and unknowingly fathered a son at 16. Through a combination of hard work, luck, sports, a stint in the military, and a series of mentors, Hart avoided the fate of many of his family and friends: addiction, prison, early death.

Hart interweaves his moving and inspiring memoir with data from experiments — his own and other researchers’ — that mostly debunk what he considers myths about drug addiction. Particularly relevant are a series of experiments conducted in the 1970s, known as “Rat Park.” Researchers allowed two groups of rats to self-administer morphine. They housed the first group in stark cages, one rat to a cage. They placed the second group in an “enriched environment,” which offered opportunities to burrow, play, and copulate. The isolated rats drank 20 times more morphine-laced sugar water than those enjoying the Rat Park. These results have been reproduced using both cocaine and amphetamine.

In his own work, Hart has shown that humans, too, respond to what behavioral scientists call “alternative reinforcers,” challenging the conviction that these drugs are irresistible. He found that habitual users of crack cocaine will often choose a cash prize of as little as $5 over a hit of crack. When he offered methamphetamine addicts $5 or a large dose of meth, about half chose the cash. When he offered $20, nearly all did.

Hart is particularly interested in crack cocaine and methamphetamine as examples of how “emotional hysteria that stems from misinformation related to illegal drugs obfuscates the real problems faced by marginalized people.” Despite little hard evidence that smokable cocaine is more addictive or more likely to make people violent than powder cocaine, the legal penalties for possession of crack are far stiffer than for powder cocaine. This disparity has resulted in high rates of incarceration for young black men, making them less likely, Hart argues, to return as productive and drug-free members of their communities. He fears that current similar “hysteria” about the exaggerated addictive and crime-inducing properties of methamphetamine will similarly demonize — and further marginalize — meth users.

At times, “High Price” reads like two different books that have been forced together. Hart’s memoir, especially his description of meeting his now-adult son, is deeply honest and often painful. And his account of the ways in which scientific evidence has been ignored in the war on drugs is as alarming as it is fascinating. But Hart often gets trapped in his own narrative structure, such as in an awkward chapter in which he uses his own teenage sexual appetites as a springboard into a discussion of the neurochemistry of addiction.

For the most part, though, Hart’s personal story supports his broader argument. If drugs alone caused poverty, crime, and family dysfunction, Hart would have been unlikely to grow up to be a happily married father and tenured Ivy League faculty member. He owes his success to the many “alternative reinforcers” — especially educational opportunities — he wishes were more widely available.

Movement marketing is changing the world. It s the new way forward for anyone trying to win customers loyalty, influence public opinion, and even change the world. In Uprising, Scott Goodson, founder and CEO of StrawberryFrog, the world s first cultural movement agency, shows how your idea or organization can successfully ride this wave of cultural movements to authentically connect to the lives and passions of people everywhere.We are in the midst of a profound cultural transformation in which technology is making it easier than ever for anyone to share ideas, goals, and interests. Working with companies and brands ranging from SmartCar to   Pampers to Jim Beam to India s Mahindra Group, StrawberryFrog and Goodson have led a paradigm focal shift away from one-on-one selling to sharing.Using client case studies and contributions from a global team of movement marketing forerunners among them, political guru Mark McKinnon; Lee Clow, creative chief at TBWA/Chiat/Day; Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki; and Marty Cooke, who helped make yellow LIVESTRONG bracelets synonymous with the fight against cancer Goodson details why and how individuals and companies are   embracing the movement phenomenon. He then applies these insights to practical steps that you can take right now to reach people through what matters most to them, including:Stop talking about yourself let the movement control your message Home in on the core objectives of your concept or brand and align these values with what people are for (or against)  Light the spark create a culture within your organization that can embrace and drive a movement Leverage your assets content, events, expertise, connecting platforms to give people tools to spread your gospel Adjust concepts to travel across borders and link people across cultural boundaries

Taylor Swift Is Adorable AF As Maid of Honor in Her BFF’s Wedding Video

Taylor Swift Is Adorable AF As Maid of Honor in Her BFF’s Wedding Video

Last weekend, Taylor Swift did the honorable duty of being the maid of honor in her childhood BFF’s wedding. Britany Maack and Benjamin LaManna, pals she’s known since birth (!) and kindergarten (also !), respectively, tied the knot in Pennsylvania, and Tay embraced the special day with her OG squad as wholeheartedly as we would expect her to, calling herself the “happiest maid of honor ever.” To date, we’ve only had a few of Taylor’s Instagrams to peep of the perfectly pastel proceedings, but now — now there’s a video. And yes, while this is the bride and groom’s day, we’re all obviously here to see T-Swift in action. You are not ready for this.

Of COURSE Taylor gets on stage to sing with the band. Of COURSE she busts out some signature adorkable dance moves. She’s so obviously stoked and happy to be at her besties’ wedding. And her Maid of Honor speech? Well, the whole thing isn’t in the video, but the parts that are are sweet, personal and pretty much a perfect tribute to a life spent with this woman as one of her closest friends.

“My favorite accomplishment of my entire life is that everything in my life has changed except for me and Britany,” Taylor says of Britany in the video. “She was my partner in crime at Brownies sleep-away camp, and she was my date to the Grammys.” Um. Yeah. Cry.

Taylor also of course talks about the husband and wife’s love story. Having known them so long, her insight goes way back. “He would chase her and pursue her through middle school and junior high and high school, and their paths would diverge, and then come back together, and it would be so magically unpredictable but at the same time, so incredibly fated, just like the best love stories are.” Yep, pretty perfectly Taylor.

Have you ever been a Maid of Honor? Let us know on Twitter at @BritandCo!

Theobromine is a xanthine alkaloid, a methylxanthine, as are caffeine and theophylline, but it differs from them in having little stimulatory action upon the central nervous system. The stimulant effect of cocoa results from the caffeine that it contains rather than from the theobromine.

Tips For Editing

We welcome suggested improvements to any of our articles. You can make it easier for us to review and, hopefully, publish your contribution by keeping a few points in mind.

  1. Encyclopædia Britannica articles are written in a neutral objective tone for a general audience.
  2. You may find it helpful to search within the site to see how similar or related subjects are covered.
  3. Any text you add should be original, not copied from other sources.
  4. At the bottom of the article, feel free to list any sources that support your changes, so that we can fully understand their context. (Internet URLs are the best.)

Your contribution may be further edited by our staff, and its publication is subject to our final approval. Unfortunately, our editorial approach may not be able to accommodate all contributions.

Thank You for Your Contribution!

Our editors will review what you've submitted, and if it meets our criteria, we'll add it to the article.

Please note that our editors may make some formatting changes or correct spelling or grammatical errors, and may also contact you if any clarifications are needed.
