On July 3, 2009 I was linked to Video Professor, Inc. home site with the offer of "Free" Digital Camera lessons for only a $6.95 S&H charge. Next to the "Free" offering was an asterisk. Next to the asterisk below was the S&H charge. Without the asterisk next to it, it said that you make keep two of the disks for free and return the other within ten days to avoid purchase charges. No amount for the purchase was indicated.

I foolishly provided a Charge Card number on their secure site. Assuming that because this company has been around so long and did so much advertising on TV, that they were legitimate. I clicked the "send me the free lesson" button and that's when my problems began.

The next contact I had with Video Professor, Inc. was an email dated July 24, 2009 that thanked me because I "decided to learn with Video Professor!" and that I'd receive my "Digital Devices learning lessons within a few short days." I didn't order Digital Devices, I order Digital Camera lessons. I called the customer service number listed on the email and explained that there was a mistake. I was told that "Digital Devices" was my second lesson that I enrolled to receive. No, I said, I didn't want it and wanted to cancel whatever program I was "enrolled" in. Also, I didn't want to be charged for the second lesson, I hadn't even received the first one.

I was told by the service person that I was cancelled and wouldn't be sent any more lessons. That afternoon, the 24th I got the first lesson in the mail. There was no paperwork with the lesson that discussed sending anything back within 10 days or about product charges if I didn't return anything.

Yesterday July 28th I found out that I was charged $189 plus $6.95 in various small charges by Video Professor, Inc. on July 27th. I also received the second lesson "Digital Devices" that I did not order. I called the 800 number on my statement and talked again with the service person. They said the charges were for the first lesson I had ordered. I wasn't entitled to a refund because more than 10 days had passed. They hadn't. I complained about the lack of information and time to evaluate and return the product.

The customer service person "talked with" their "supervisor" and did give me two Return Authorization numbers. They told me that I'd be credited with the $189 in 10 to 21 business days from when they received my returned lessons. I immediately went on line to search for information on the well known Video Professor. Now after "Googling" the company, I've found that they have and are scamming thousands of people.

Today, July 29, 2009 I took a number of steps to protect myself in the future from this scam operation called Video Professor. I called my Bank, registered a complaint with the fraud division, cancelled my card, had a new card issued. Began the process of filing a fraud complaint with the Colorado Attorney General's office and sent back the lessons by Registered/Return Receipt Requested, at my own cost of another $20. I also sent out a warning to everyone I exchange email with to avoid Video Professor and it's scam. Hopefully, it will begin being passed on. I wish someone had told me about this before July 3rd.

I don't know how this scam operation is allowed to continue. I think they have invested a lot of money in protecting themselves with legal papers and small print. The information needs to get out that no one should fall for their scheme again. I don't know if I'll ever see my $189 again. What I will do is spend time and energy to get the word out to as many people as I can.

Video Professor is a scam operation offering "free" lessons to "Phish" for Credit and Check Card numbers, then steal from the unfortunate people that provide them. They are the lowest form of predator that I've seen advertise anywhere.

On Wednesday, November 9th at 7:30pm, Two Lines is collaborating with The Bridge reading series to put on a special event at McNally Jackson (52 Prince St.) in celebration of the new issue, Counterfeits. “Counterfeits” editor Luc Sante will host the event, and will be joined by translators Aaron Kerner, Patrick Philips, Alex Zucker, Alyson Waters, and author Magdaléna Platzováfor.

In preparation for this event, Two Lines just posted an interview with Alyson Waters about Albert Cossery and her translation of The Colors of Infamy, which is coming out next month from New Directions.

Scott Esposito: We’re here to talk about your excerpt from The Colors of Infamy, which comes from the third novel by Egyptian-French writer Albert Cossery to be published in the past couple of years. Cossery, who died in 2008 and did most of his writing decades ago, has become something of a sensation lately, with these new translations getting rave attention in a lot of leading periodicals. Why do you think Cossery has caught on so much?

Alyson Waters: I wish I could say that he’s moved into best-sellerdom, but that would be overstating the case a bit! I think that Cossery’s a great writer, and maybe it’s taken some time for people to realize that here—an Egyptian author who writes in French translated into English is not everyone’s first choice as a “go-to” book. We’re fortunate to have wonderful publishers like New Directions and New York Review Books who took a chance on publishing these translations in the last few years, although some of his work was translated into English decades ago, but it’s all gone out of print. I started translating The Colors of Infamy for the pleasure of it some seven or eight years ago, but it wasn’t until I won a PEN Translation Grant for the book that publishers sat up and took notice. I was lucky that Barbara Epler of New Directions wanted me to translate A Splendid Conspiracy as well. And now, in addition to The Jokers, brought out last year in Anna Moschovakis’ translation, New York Review Books is bringing out a revised version of a translation by Thomas Cushing of Proud Beggars that was originally done in 1981. It would be nice to think that all this interest has to do with the Arab Spring, and that may be true right now as far as new readers are concerned, and I hope interest continues to grow. But those of us who have been pushing for Cossery to have a bigger presence in the English-speaking world have been doing so for about a decade, some even longer. He’s got a wicked sense of humor, a very appealing anti-work/anti-capitalist/anti-materialist philosophy that goes with our current recession mood, I think, and a rather cynical—though some might say accurate—view of the benefits of any revolution for the poorest of the poor—all of which can be seen quite clearly in The Colors of Infamy.

From the Desk of Lew M. Simon, Democratic District Leader, 23rd A.D. Part B

Last Thursday evening, the Good Government Regular Democratic club held its first meeting of the season. The main speaker at our educational forum was Dr. Kathleen Cashin, the Superintendent of Region 5 in which District 27 is located. Other speakers were Rita Giaramita, Superintendent of District 27 and Instructional Supervisor for many Rockaway schools, Brian O’Connell, Principal of P.S. 114 and George Giberti, Principal of M.S. 180. The packed audience included Claude Monereau, Denys Irving and Regine Lifranc, Assistant Principals at Beach Channel high School, Diana Funtleyder, Literacy Coach in Region 5, Adam Funtleyder, Owner of Busy Bee Learning Center and a teacher at P.S. 225, Captain Robert Nussberger of the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department, Joe Featherston, an educator who leads the Special Olympics at St. Camillus, Lolly Davis, President of the Phillip Port unit of the American Cancer Society and Virginia Carson Smith of Rockaway Park, an active parent and voice for neighborhood schools.

I took the time to praise Dr. Cashin for making the Democratic club her first stop in Rockaway last spring and following up and solving a problem concerning the principal at P.S. 114. She made sure to get a quality educator with great knowledge and experience, and a community resident. Brian O’Connell is doing a great job as well as listening to parents. Dr. Cashin helped Beach Channel High School get a principal, solved some busing issues, helped reunite some families with children in different schools on the mainland. We are so pleased with all the fine work she did last spring.

After a sophomore from Beach Channel high School recounted some personal experiences with being denied the right to go to the bathroom after lunch, having to carry an 18 1/2 pound book bag and facing the risk of being locked out of a class for an entire period if he is only one minute late for a class, Dr. Cashin discussed some of the problems at Beach Channel. She said that she had visited the school and found some classes in which no teaching or learning was going on. Dr. Cashin said she knew about gang activity and an assault at the school. She promised that the programming would get tighter and the school would turn around.

Dr. Cashin asked the audience how long it took Beach Channel to decline. The problems couldn’t be solved in 25 days. She promised to form a council with community leadership to solve the problems in the school. The audience was urged to keep the pressure on Dr. Cashin and she pledged to do a good job. I agreed to hold a meeting where Dr. Cashin would meet with parents to improve communication on issues and ideas. She said children who are learning will not get involved in angry acts of violence. Dr. Cashin wants schools in the Rockaways to be competitive so we can keep our children here and not lose them to schools out of Rockaway.

Dr. Cashin also invited Steve Greenberg, President of Community School Board 27, who was in the audience, to speak. He also agreed that all should work together for the sake of the students and the betterment of the schools including the middle and high schools. He thanked the superintendents and principals for their support and assistance in the Rockaways. He said there wasn’t a time he asked Lew for a favor for the kids that he wasn’t there.

George Giberti spoke briefly on his position as principal of MS 180 and the recent progress. He spoke of a Law of Forensics program and thanked Steven Greenberg and the school board for a $1.5 million grant that helped make it happen.

Brian O’Connell, principal of PS 114 spoke briefly and thanked Dr. Cashin and the deputy superintendent for the chance to work with them and for their trust in him. He expounded how he had grown up in the Rockaways and knows the community and invited the parents to be a part of the change in his school and also in all the schools.

We are concerned with recent cuts in service by the private bus lines. We have heard from bus drivers and passengers. You can call Doris Dranche, General Manager of Green bus at (718) 995-4755 and Deputy commissioner Judy Bergtraun of DOT at (212) 442-7042. Let us know how the bus service has been.

We are mourning the loss of Mildred Wadler the sister of Flo Altschuler our long time friend, neighbor and board member. Mildred was a good person, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Nothing was too hard for her. She was always there to help. She worked as a remedial reading teacher for the NYC Board of Education.

Milred opened her home to Jewish immigrants from Russia. She embraced and helped them learn Judaism. She was a special person. When they made her, they threw away the mold. She was always there for her sister Flo and Flo’s daughter Michelle. A resident of Far Rockaway for over 30 years, she was living in Cedarhurst and Florida. Our deepest condolences to the whole family.

Many of the people at our meeting joined the Good Government Regular Democratic club. All local residents who are interested in our community are invited to join. Send your dues, $25 family, $18 single and $12 Senior Young Dem to Good Government Regular Democratic club, 112-20 Beach Channel Drive, Rockaway Park, NY.

Laceyville Council Filling Vacancies

By David Keeler

At a brief meeting Tuesday night that lasted approximately a half-hour, the Laceyville Borough Council filled one of its two vacant seats and expects to fill the other at its September meeting.

Council voted unanimously to appoint Matt Harper to fill the seat formerly held by Jay Eberlin. Harper will be officially sworn in at next month’s meeting. Harper will be on the ballot in the November election

Council also agreed to name Keith Pennay to fill the seat formerly held by Philip Wurzler, however, a formal vote on his appointment won’t take place until the September meeting. Pennay will also be on the ballot in November for confirmation by the voters. Both Harper and Pennay were at Tuesday night’s meeting.

Filling the two empty seats brings council back to a full complement of seven members. Last month council couldn’t hold an official meeting because not enough members were present, and the vacant seats played a major role in the meeting not taking place.

In other business, Mayor Ken Patton told council that Jenningsville resident Pat Butkiewicz has been hired as a part-time police officer. He will serve a 90-day probation period, Patton said. Officer Joe DeMuro explained to council that his catering business is taking time he thought he could devote to the borough, and although he expects to continue working for the borough, it will be on a limited basis.  Patton said that Butkiewicz will also patrol in Wyalusing under a contract for Laceyville to provide police patrols in Wyalusing.

On another police matter, council agreed not to take any formal action regarding accepting former police officer Sgt. Lloyd Overfield’s resignation. “If he’s not working, he’s not getting paid, and we should just leave it as is for a while,” Patton said.

Regarding the borough’s water problems, Council President Donald VanDeMark said efforts to revitalize an unused well seemed to be going satisfactorily. “They drilled it another 100 feet deeper,” VanDeMark said. Patton said the well is producing 129 gallons per minute, which would meet the borough’s needs.

The next step will be extensive testing of the water, a process which Patton said would take about two months and cost $14,000.

Council also reviewed recommendations from Borough Solicitor Chad Salsman regarding action the borough should take regarding an agreement with Larsen Engineering concerning solving the borough’s water problems. Council took no action on this, however, preferring to table further discussion until next month’s meeting so Water Company Superintendent Tim Shotwell, who was absent, could take part in the discussion.

Other business included:

 — Discussing the numerous potholes in the borough that need to be filled, especially on Franklin Street.

—Agreeing to contact Dave Brown regarding mowing borough parks. Walter Sutton whose bid was accepted for mowing the parks, has had to stop due to health problems.

— Discussing a problem near Whipples where grass and brush are making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk. Council’s hoping the situation can be remedied before Saturday’s Community Day celebration.

Senate's Military Vets Weigh In on Capitol Police's Lost Guns

Roberts, a Marine, said there's "no excuse" for Capitol Police losing their guns. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call File Photo)

As a West Point graduate and former infantry platoon leader, Sen. Jack Reed knows the weighty responsibility that comes with being routinely armed on duty and the necessity of strict accounting for weapons.

“I remember coming back from training; I would wait until the armorer ran through every weapon and made sure they were accounted for by serial number and then I could go home. Because if one of them were missing, I would be first calling my commanders — before someone else did — and then expecting serious consequences,” said the Rhode Island Democrat, a retired Army Ranger who commanded paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division. Reed believes it’s "obviously" time to look at training and accountability for Capitol Police, following CQ Roll Call’s report on two incidents of dignitary protection detail officers leaving unattended Glocks around the Capitol. “Do people have to check their weapons in once a day? At least you’ll know,” he said, referring to an expected review of the incidents by the agency’s inspector general. “That’s the whole system in the military — it was training, supervision and accountability.”

With a budget of $348 million, and elite resources — including a hazardous materials team, armored vehicles, high-powered rifles — those on Capitol Hill who are most familiar with the department, including House Administration Chairwoman Candice S. Miller, call it a “military organization.” Top law enforcement officials refer to the rank-and-file officers as “troops” defending the fortress that is the Capitol. And a sizable number of the Capitol's cops are either active or former members of the military .

That might explain why Reed, among 20 members of the Senate who are military veterans, found the reports of unattended weapons incredibly alarming.

"I love my rifle. I was never separated from it. I slept with it," Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said. Inspired by his father's service in the Marine Corps during World War II, Roberts joined the Marines after college. "That didn’t happen in the Marine Corps. If it did, it happened only once and then that Marine would no longer be in the Marine Corps. ... You just don’t do that. You’re inculcated with that from the very first day of boot camp. It just doesn’t happen."

With a seat on the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, Roberts said he sympathizes with all the overtime work Capitol Police have to perform. "But there's no excuse for this," he told CQ Roll Call.

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who deployed to the Middle East for 14 months with the National Guard, said a service member's gun "should always stay on their person, unless they are secured.”

Fellow freshman Gary Peters, D-Mich., a one-time lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve, agreed it "would be completely unacceptable in a military organization to leave a loaded weapon somewhere unattended.” Peter said he was "very disturbed" by the report, saying, "Particularly in the Capitol, where you have tourists and visitors that are here, to have a loaded weapon that’s unattended is a serious thing in my mind. Very serious.”

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., an Army combat veteran, declined to comment.

Capitol Police did not respond to an inquiry about retraining all officers on weapons handling. An internal memo from the deputy chief of the Uniformed Services Bureau, obtained in April by CQ Roll Call, detailed new overtime control measures to stretch the department’s budget to the end of the fiscal year, including suspending all training with the exception of handgun and long-gun training.

When asked if officers receive any training on what to do with their firearms while using the bathroom, Capitol Police did not comment. For those working in suits around the House or Senate chamber, or deployed on a protective detail, the Glock is one of many pieces of equipment carried — in addition to handcuffs and a radio.

“It's an article 15 if you left your weapon unattended in the military,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who served in the Air Force and is a colonel in the Air Force Reserve. “That would be non-judicial punishment," the former staff judge advocate explained. "You would be disciplined in the military if you compromised your weapon.”

The dignitary protection unit officer allegedly involved in the Jan. 29 incident that left a Glock and magazine unattended in a public bathroom staff was working on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's detail and was recommended for six days of unpaid suspension.

"That's in line, yeah," Graham said. “In the military, it would hurt your ability to get promoted, but you wouldn’t be court-martialed unless it was an egregious violation. But that’s, you know — it would probably be more severe in the military, but that is punishment.”

Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., tussled with Capitol law enforcement earlier this year over a security snafu involving former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, who was a witness during a January hearing. McCain, who served in the Navy from 1958 to 1981, including spending more than five years as a prisoner of war, said weapons handling is a matter of training and discipline.

"Of course it's concerning," he said of the May 1 report, though he declined to speculate on discipline. "Honestly, I don’t know the circumstances and all that, but obviously it’s a practice which harms the reputation and esteem with which these individuals are held. It’s harmful to their reputation and that’s unfortunate because the overwhelming majority of them are outstanding people."

Asked if Congress could do anything to correct the problem, McCain said, "I'm sure we have oversight responsibilities, just as we did when Capitol Police were conspicuous by their absence when Henry Kissinger was mobbed by the Code Pink people. That was inexcusable."

Braley's Opponent? Two Seem Most Likely From Crowded Field

Iowa Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Bruce Braley doesn't know yet which Republican candidate he'll be facing in November. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call File Photo)

Residing outside of the competitive Senate landscape's top tier most of this election cycle, Iowa Republicans believe they are finally gaining some momentum for the state's open seat, particularly by avoiding a nominating convention.

The release Tuesday of a video taken of Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley’s remarks at a Texas fundraiser was just the cherry on top of an already renewed sense of optimism among Republicans that the party will put up a competitive nominee. Several things still need to go the GOP’s way for success in November, but Republican insiders in the state see positive signs.

Along with President Barack Obama’s approval ratings in the Hawkeye State falling to 36 percent in a Des Moines Register poll taken last month, the crowded and unproven Republican primary field is beginning to shake out, and the party’s chances of nominating a candidate in the primary — and dodging a potentially debilitating convention — are improving.

"I think the notion of a convention choosing our Senate nominee gets more remote by the day," said one veteran Iowa Republican operative without ties to any of the campaigns. Democrats remain favored to hold the seat of longtime Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, who announced his retirement 14 months ago. Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa, opted against running — and later announced his own retirement from the House — and a handful of lesser-known contenders are facing off for the nomination.

Meanwhile, Braley, a four-term congressman, had $2.6 million in cash on hand by the end of the year — a number that dwarfed the GOP competition and is likely to increase by Monday’s first-quarter filing deadline.

Still, the video released Tuesday by GOP opposition research group America Rising offered an unhelpful round of press for Braley, who will likely see the clip used against him in ads this fall.

Speaking to a group of attorneys and potential donors, Braley, himself a lawyer, said it was important he win and Democrats hold the Senate. Should Democrats lose, Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, “a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school,” would serve as the Senate’s next Judiciary chairman. Grassley has been re-elected easily since entering the Senate in 1981 and continues to earn strong approval ratings back home.

If nothing else, Republicans in the state hope the gaffe will force Braley to dip into his war chest earlier than expected to run positive TV ads.

"The conventional wisdom of six months ago that this was a safe Democratic seat is maybe open to question now,” said Iowa GOP consultant Bob Haus.

But before Republicans can focus on Braley, the party must weather the June 3 primary. While the initial GOP field included more than a half-dozen GOP hopefuls, some Iowa Republican operatives said it has dwindled to two clear front-runners: state Sen. Joni Ernst and former energy executive Mark Jacobs.

Iowa Democrats agree, and the Braley campaign has signaled it views Jacobs as the front-runner: recent statements are focused squarely on him.

“If you look at where the Republican candidates stand in the money race and what the next two months look like, it’s clear Jacobs has a big advantage [in the primary] in terms of being able to fund a campaign,” one Iowa Democrat said. “Any reasonable person will tell you Jacobs has the edge.”

With a top-tier field of two, Republicans say the party is more likely than ever to avoid a June 14 nominating convention — a rare process sparked when no candidate garners at least 35 percent in the primary earlier that month. Conventions often turn out the GOP’s most loyal activists and can increase the possibility of nominating a weaker general election candidate.

Republican operatives said Ernst's background — she is a military veteran and farmer with ties to rural communities in Iowa — is likely a better contrast to Braley, especially after his unforced error. But Ernst has struggled to raise the kind of money it takes to compete in a statewide race, unlike Jacobs, who has proven he is willing to spend his own personal resources.

For Ernst backers, with a renewed national focus on the race following Braley's comments, plus recent endorsements by Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and a small ad buy featuring pig castration that got big national play, there is hope national donors could start to open their pockets.

"Most conservative state lawmakers are on her side and now Palin, but she's also got guys like Mitt Romney and David Oman, who chaired Romney's campaign in Iowa and helped raise funds,” said one Iowa Republican operative with ties to the Ernst campaign. “So that is playing right into the narrative they want running into the two month sprint to the primary.”

India Raises Limit on Foreign Stakes in Helos

By James T. McKenna | January 31, 2008

Emergency Medical Service, Executive Transport, Heavylift, Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul, Observation/Patrol, Offshore, Personal Aircraft, Tourism, Utility

India’s government will now allow foreign investors to own 100 percent of the stock in helicopter operators in that nation. The Indian Cabinet today also approved raising the limit of foreign direct investment to 100 percent for maintenance organizations and flight schools. Foreign investors had been limited to 49 percent of such operations. The changes are expected to spur major foreign investments in those operations in India and, consequently, growth of the helicopter, maintenance, and flight training sectors there. For related news

Washington quarterback Jake Locker completed 14-of-22 passes for 226 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the win at Washington State.  He added nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Locker and the Huskies are still waiting to hear which Big 12 team they will face in the bowl season.  As long as he can avoid a rematch with Nebraska he should be a decent option.  He finishes the regular season with 2,209 passing yards, 302 rushing yards, and 22 touchdowns.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker completed 10-of-21 passes for 68 yards with an interception in the win over  UCLA.  He added nine rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Locker is still dealing with a rib issue and never got in a rhythm.  Once the running game started clicking and UCLA showed no signs of life on offense, the play-calling didn't give Locker many chances for production.  The Huskies are hoping he heals up completely before heading to Cal next weekend.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker (broken rib) has been cleared to play this week against UCLA

Locker has had an up and down career. This will be Locker's final home game at Husky Stadium, so emotions should be high. Look for him to go out in style.
Wed, Nov 17, 2010 01:30:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker expects to play on Thursday night against UCLA but a final determination won't be made until Tuesday.

Locker had a bye week to help heal his fractured rib after missing the game against Oregon.  Considering this is the last home game for the senior and the Huskies need to win out to reach a bowl game, expect Locker to give it a go.

Tue, Nov 16, 2010 11:00:00 AM

Former Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser questions why Washington quarterback Jake Locker did not play last week against Oregon despite a broken rib. "To be honest with you, I was surprised he didn't play in this last game," Gesser said on Dave Grosby's 710 ESPN show Tuesday afternoon. "I've had cracked ribs. I've had dislocated ribs. Basically all you have to do is shoot them up."

With or without Locker, I'm not sure the result would of been much different. Sitting out and with the bye this week, Locker gets extra time to rest for UCLA on Nov. 18.
Thu, Nov 11, 2010 04:15:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker (ribs) will take a good portion of the bye week off in hopes of returning on November 18th against UCLA.

Locker will do everything he can to return to the field, though his fantasy prospects will likely be limited except for the finale against Washington State.
Mon, Nov 8, 2010 10:30:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker has at least one fractured rib and will not play against Oregon this weekend.  The timetable for his return is unknown.

Locker has been dealing with sore ribs for the last three weeks and finally was diagnosed with a fracture this morning.  Look for Keith Price to fill in until he is healthy enough to return to the field.
Mon, Nov 1, 2010 04:00:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker completed 7-of-14 passes for 50 yards and two interceptions in the loss to Stanford.  He had eight carries for only one yard.

The Huskies only had 35 yards in the first half and were no match for Stanford.  Locker couldn't do anything all game and should probably be avoided next weekend against Oregon as well.  It has been a disappointing season for Locker and his owners as he has posted some serious clunkers.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker (ribs/quad) says he's "pretty sore" but he will play this week against Stanford.

Locker has been banged up the last few weeks and he was clearly limited last week against Arizona...especially in the rushing department.
Tue, Oct 26, 2010 11:45:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker (pretty much beat up) is certain that he'll play against Stanford this weekend.

Forget NFL Draft status and mechanics; Locker is a gamer and a winner, and Stanford will have their hands full. Though his fantasy prospects will likely be limited in this one.
Mon, Oct 25, 2010 11:00:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker didn't play well in the loss at Arizona but didn't blame it on his sore ribs.  He completed 17-of-29 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown before sitting out the fourth quarter.

The score and not his injuries kept him from playing the fourth quarter.  Locker only had two carries that weren't sacks and the game plan called for him to stay in the pocket.  This is another example of coaches not telling the entire truth heading into a contest as Locker wasn't supposed to be limited.
Sun, Oct 24, 2010 08:30:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker participated fully in practice Thursday and will start against Arizona tomorrow.

"I thought he had a nice practice,'' head coach Steve Sarkisian said. "I thought he looked good. Threw the ball well, ran well, really locked into what we were trying to get accomplished. So looks like he's ready to go."  Arizona has only given up six touchdown passes all season so don't expect a monster game from him.
Fri, Oct 22, 2010 12:45:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker sat out most of practice on Wednesday to heal up from a thigh bruise.  He is expected to play this weekend against Arizona.

Locker missed a couple practices last week but looked great against Oregon State.  He probably won't be 100%, but not many guys are this late in the season.
Thu, Oct 21, 2010 08:00:00 PM

Washington quarterback Jake Locker scored a career-high five touchdowns in the double overtime win over Oregon State.  He completed 21-of-35 passes for 286 yards and added 12 carries for 60 yards.

Locker now looks like the player everyone thought he would be prior to the meltdown against Nebraska.  He still has a shot at amassing 3,000 passing yards, 500 rushing yards, and 30 total touchdowns.  He is a borderline QB1 in BCS only leagues but has Arizona, Stanford, and Oregon in the next three weeks to contend with.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker was back at practice and running the first unit. "I wouldn't think so, but we'll obviously monitor it closely as the game goes on," coach Steve Sarkisian said. " He looks fine. I thought he would get back. I don't think he will be 100 percent; there is a pretty good-sized bruise. But it's nice to have him and know that you've got him."

Look for Locker to play, but his rushing stats will probably be limited.

Mt  Gox, once the world's biggest bitcoin exchange, went dark today, with its website down, its Tokyo office empty, and a cryptic comment from its chief executive that the business was at "a turning point."
The only activity at the company's Tokyo office was outside, where a handful of protesters said they had lost money investing in the virtual currency.
The digital market place operator, which began as a venue for trading cards, had surged to the top of the bitcoin world, but critics - from rival exchanges to burned investors - said Mt Gox had long been lax over its security.
It was not clear what has become of the exchange, which this month halted withdrawals indefinitely after detecting "unusual activity."

When asked whether Mt Gox was dead, its CEO, Mark Karpeles, said in an email: "We should have an official announcement ready soon-ish. We are currently at a turning point for the business. I can't tell much more for now as this also involves other parties."
A document circulating on the Internet, and purporting to be a crisis plan for the exchange, said more than 744,000 bitcoins were "missing due to malleability-related theft", and noted Mt Gox had $174m in liabilities against $32.75m in assets. It was not possible to verify the document or the exchange's financial situation.
Tokyo investors in the frontier electronic currency, who have endured a volatile ride in the value of the unregulated cyber-tender, said the problem was with Mt Gox, not with the revolutionary bitcoin itself.
The Mt Gox homepage was not loading, although no error message appeared.
The Bitcoin Foundation, the cyber currency's trade group, said in a statement, "Mt Gox is one of several exchanges, and their exit, while unfortunate, opens a door of opportunity. This incident demonstrates the need for responsible individuals and members of the bitcoin community to lead in providing reliable services."
On Sunday, Karpeles resigned from the board of the Foundation.
Six leading bitcoin exchanges - which allow users to trade bitcoins for US dollars and other currencies - distanced themselves from Mt Gox.
"This tragic violation of the trust of users of Mt Gox was the result of one company's actions and does not reflect the resilience or value of bitcoin and the digital currency industry," the companies - Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, BTCChina, Blockchain and Circle - said in the statement.

"As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out, and that is what we're seeing today," they added.
Karpeles' resignation from the Bitcoin Foundation followed a number of technical issues, including a massive cyber attack from unknown sources that has been spamming bitcoin exchanges.
Mt Gox was a founding member and one of the three elected industry representatives on the board of the foundation. Mt Gox, a bitcoin exchange since 2010, is a relatively old player, having grown quickly when there were few alternatives.
Bitcoin has had a rocky ride, its dollar value soaring and crashing more like a highly speculative investment than a store of value. And oddly for a tradable instrument, its value varies greatly depending on the exchange.
The Mt Gox bitcoin, which traded at $828.99 before February 7, when the exchange halted withdrawals, has since plunged 83.7% to $135.

By contrast, coins at Bitstamp, another large exchange, have fallen 40.5% over the same time to a low of $400 today, before recovering to $505.
Users say the problem with Mt Gox is isolated and not with the virtual currency even though bitcoin globally has taken a beating to its value and reputation since the problem surfaced.

By Brendan Cole

Premiership Rugby CEO Mark McCafferty has said that the planning process for a new European Cup-type tournament is underway and put Irish, Welsh and Scottish clubs on notice that they will need to signal their intentions within the next 4-6 weeks.

The English clubs released a statement yesterday outlining their intention to launch a new tournament in conjunction with the clubs in the Top 14. The French clubs released a statement supporting the English move yesterday. The competition will be open to clubs from other nations.

A meeting involving all stakeholders in the current Heineken Cup is taking place under the auspices of organising body European Rugby Cup (ERC) today.

McCafferty told the London Independent: "We won't know exactly what shape it will take until we have a decision from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Italian teams on whether they wish to be a part of it.

“We'll need answers from them between four and six weeks from now. For our part, the planning process is now under way.”

"We've been talking for 12 months now and we've gone round in circles." - Mark McCafferty

Despite the timing of the announcement, McCafferty is adamant that the decision to launch a new competition was not taken suddenly.

He said: "We made it clear more than a year ago that we would withdraw from the Heineken Cup as it is currently constituted at the end of this season. The last all-stakeholder meeting on reform of the tournament was back at the end of May. Here we are, almost in mid-September, with the domestic competitions in England and France up and running, and no clarity as to what is happening in terms of European competition.”

The English and French alliance wants the competition reduced from 24 teams to 20 with qualification on merit. Under their proposed rules, each nation would have only one guaranteed entrant in the competition.

Currently, England and France have six guaranteed entrants, Ireland and Wales have three and Scotland and Italy have two each.

Broadcast rights are a complicating factor. ERC has negotiated a new deal with current broadcaster Sky, but the English clubs have signed a contract with new market entrant BT Vision. BT Vision has already signed a deal to show Premiership rugby matches for the next four years.

McCafferty said that time was of the essence as no European competition for next season had been put in place despite the 2013/14 season already being underway.

"What's the definition of madness? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. We've been talking for 12 months now and we've gone round in circles. There comes a point when you feel there's nothing there to negotiate. We've put forward positive proposals to the other interested parties, but there has been no movement. Now we need to crack on and put something in place for the 2014-15 season."

A YOUNG artist has had one of her drawings exhibited in the House of Commons.

Megan Jenner, aged 17, from Runcorn was invited to London by the Association of Colleges to see her work on display.

She is studying A level fine art and computer game design at Priestley College.

The national exhibition was hosted by Alan Johnson MP and attended by Education Secretary Michael Gove.

Former Heath pupil, Megan, from Brookvale, said: “It’s the first time I have ever had my work exhibited so it is very exciting.

“I’ve been to London but never the House of Commons. It was great.”

Megan has been drawing since she was a little girl and was inspired by her granddad, George Arthur Gittens, who used to paint birds on local waters.

Her study of a bird in flight is part of her exam work.

Priestley tutor Steven Lane said: “To be chosen from so many other pieces of art that will have been submitted for a national exhibition such as this is an incredible achievement.”

VISITORS can travel to a vintage rally in Widnes in style A 1960s bus will be operating free rides from car parks off Kingsway to Victoria Park throughout the two day event, on Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 29.

The bus is like the one featured in the Cliff Richard film Summer Holiday and may rekindle memories of the TV series On The Buses.

More than 300 vintage vehicles, cars, motorbikes and machines will be display as this year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The Lytham St Annes Spitfire Display Team will bring full size replica Spitfire Mark IX to demonstrate the realities of serving as aiircrew in World War 2.

Halton Cllr Eddie Jones, board member for economic development, said: "It is a real coup to get the historic bus.

"And with the Spitfire too, adding to all the other attractions, there won't be many forms of transport not represented.

"The North West's industrial heritage is very rich and steeped in transport manufacture."

The 3Sixty Cycle stunt team will be going for one of more than 20 World Record attempts.

Officially overseen by the adjudicators from Guinness World Records, the team hopes to break the World Record for the longest ‘stoppie’.

Falconry displays, a world famous Spitfire, chainsaw sculpture, a dog display team and a festival of real ale are among some of the other attractions.

Admission is free and the event runs from 10am to 5pm both days.

Ultimate List Of Mega Man Songs

The Mega Man series of video games has a distinctive soundtrack. The music from the games is so influential that a bunch of cover bands have incorporated the melodies into their own versions of the popular songs.

Mega Man 1 -10 soundtracks – This is the full collection featuring music from Mega Man 1 for the original NES all the way through the recently released Mega Man 10. It weighs in at 684 MB and you will need 7 Zip for the PC or keka for OS X. The password for the archive is reddit.

8-Bit Instrumental is a video game-focused instrumental band from Brazil popular for their covers of Contra, Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter II, Altered Beast and others. They have an entire album dedicated to Mega Man 2 songs available for free on their website. The release was so popular that a hacked version of Mega Man 2 was released replacing the original soundtrack with the cover songs by 8-Bit Instrumental.

Project X has a 14-track album based on Mega Man 2 available for download in one 33 MB zip file. The Boston-based band produces guitar/electronica music.

Overclocked Remix has several remixes (mostly techno) based on Mega Man songs. The songs can be streamed via YouTube or downloaded for free.

Game Over, a Swedish Nintendo metal band, has three songs based on Mega Man. They’re kind of catchy.

Finally, thepulperizer.com breaks down the top 25 Mega Man songs. It is a pretty thorough list that I mostly agree with except I think the Bubble Man theme song should be number one, not number two.

So there you have it, the ultimate list of Mega Man songs for any video game aficionado. After all, the best thing to do when you’re not playing video games, is to rock out to their soundtracks until you can.

Move Over Pandora, Hello Grooveshark

I’ve been a long time fan of Pandora, an automated music recommendation and Internet radio service. Users enter a song or artist that they like, and Pandora responds by playing similiar music. The recommendations come from the Music Genome Project, a complex mathematical algorithm to organize songs using more than 400 attributes. You can give a song a thumbs up or thumbs down to help tweak the station to your liking. Pandora has been my sole source of music while at work. Programs like PandoraBoy for the Mac and Open Pandora for Windows turn the web player into a standalone desktop app complete with keyboard shortcuts. Pandora offers it’s own standalone application with higher quality sound and no ads for $36 a year.

While the musical recommendations have been very good, my radio stations quickly become stale. The same songs keep coming up again and again and the only way to rectify it is to create a new station. You also can’t search out a song and play it on demand. You give Pandora a song or artist to use as a seed for generating similiar songs that make up your station.

Compare this with Grooveshark which provides the ability to listen to single songs from the 7-million song catalog on demand, save playlists, and embed both on other sites; all for free. The user interface borrows heavily from the iPhone with sliding menus and a minimalist design. The application is a cinch to use.

Hovering over a song brings up four small icons: play, add to queue, more info, and embed. The more info menu brings up more options like browsing the artist or song, adding it to a playlist or your favorite list that you can recall later, and a list of similiar songs. After you get tired of looking up every song you can think of, make use of the autoplay feature which keeps the songs coming based on your listening history. You can also like/dislike songs which Grooveshark suggests to further tune your song list. You can see it in action below thanks to ben westermann-clark:

Grooveshark is reminiscent of the golden age of Napster where nearly every song was available at your fingertips only without downloading anything. What’s the legality of Grooveshark? I’m not really sure, but the company claims to have license agreements with a long list of record labels. It doesn’t really matter since you can use the site without signing up, which you only have to do if you want to save songs or playlists.

The only thing Grooveshark is missing is a desktop client with keyboard shortcuts though it sounds like that is coming sometime real soon. In the meantime I’ll just use Fluid or Mozilla Prism with a nice custom icon to complete the effect. It seems crazy to use any other online or offline music client now that I’ve gotten to know Grooveshark.

Using A Skateboard To Control Music

Who would think to strap a MIDI controller to a skateboard? Apparently new media artist Simon Morris did with his project Musique Concrete which aims to “explore sound and the urban landscape through the movements on a skateboard.”

The Musical Skateboard Set-up

This is how it works according to the site:

Mounted underneath the skateboard is an interface which transmits data wirelessly to a laptop computer. Physical actions are detected using three sensors connected to the interface. Acceleration, turns and vibration are monitored by a photoresistor, a flex sensor and piezo sensor respectively. Using the MIDI protocol, a software program enables the skateboarder to control and modify real-time sounds directly from the skateboard.

There are a couple of videos showing the set-up in action but the results aren’t really music, more like a cross between a machine gun and a jack-hammer. It is still a cool idea nonetheless.

5 MP3 Related Freeware Apps

I recently spent a weekend ripping all of my old CDs to my music hard drive and got me thinking about all of the great MP3 freeware that is out there. Here are my five must have freeware apps for MP3 nirvana.

Audiograbber – This CD ripper is the easiest way to convert your CDs to MP3s. While it may look like any other CD rippers, Audiograbber has lots of tweakable options to make your ripping session more flexible. Features worth noting are per track checksums to ensure each file was duplicated exactly, normalizing to prevent jarring sound levels from track to track, delete silence from the end and/or start of a track, encode to a variety of formats including WAV, MP3, or WMA (other encoders can be set up in the Settings menu), and automatically load track information from the freedb CD database.

Picard (from MusicBrainz) – Gigabytes upon gigabytes of MP3 files collected from various sources can lead to some wacky, hodgepodge ID3 tags. ID3 tags are MP3 metadata that describe things like the album title, artist, track, and genre. The MusicBrainz service aggregates metadata from various community members in an attempt to house the largest music information database in the world. Songs can be uniquely identified by their sonic pattern which is used to match up the MP3 file with the correct metadata. Picard is a piece of software which lets you easily drag a bunch of files to batch process all at once. When the program is done you can overwrite the ID3 tags and live in MP3 organization utopia for the time being.

MediaMonkey – Lots of people rave about the brilliance of iTunes but I just don’t see it. Winamp was my player of choice for years until it became too system resource greedy. Then I found MediaMonkey which is fast, flexible, and incredibly organized. Remember all that talk about properly tagging MP3 files with MusicBrainz? MediaMonkey uses that information for searching. In addition you can edit the ID3 tags right in the interface as well as download album covers from Amazon. A bunch of Internet radio stations can be streamed from the player when your days of MP3s become repetitive. If that is not enough you can also batch rename the filenames of your music files matching their ID3 tags, connect and sync with a variety of MP3 players, and generate reports and statistics based on your listening habits. The MediaMonkey system also supports an open plugin architecture as well as scripting support to extend the functionality. All of this from a lightweight music player that won’t bog your system down without skimping out on features.

Music IP Mixer – Do you find it hard to come up with a good play list to listen to? Does the random shuffle option not do a good enough job satisfying your musical pallets? Music IP has a free download that lets you make play lists based on their acoustic fingerprints. When you first start the program up it scans your music directory and analyzes each and every MP3 file. Then using a specialized algorithm based on a variety of factors, the program can create a sophisticated mix based on a selected “seed” song. The MusicIP Mixer lets you tweak the mix by selecting songs and selecting “More like this”, “Less like this”, or “Replace this song”, “Replace this artist”. After specifying the number of songs you can save the play list for later use of send it directly to your audio player of choice.

– Controlling your media player by clicking on the software interface is for people with too much time on their hands; Real power users set up hot keys to do their important music tasks. I originally stumbled on Sound Control while looking for a program to visually display the volume level when I turn it up or down like an on screen TV display. But it turns out there are a lot of hidden features in this puppy. For one, I set up hot keys to play, pause, play the previous track, or play the next track all without bringing up the program. Another hot key lets me mute, increase, or decrease my sound volume just like those keyboards with dedicated keys.

So as you can see, it is important to have a properly tagged and organized MP3 collection, that you ripped from your old CDs, that can be easily made into play lists based on moods, that you play on your light-weight music software, where the volume is controlled via customizable hotkeys all for the price of zilch.

That Sneaky Lead Elbow!

Here's an image to help you make better contact and stay on plane throughout your swing.

If you've looked at the posts in the "basic principles of the game" category, you'll see that I have a real hang-up about twisting your forearms during your swing. Twisting your forearms (often called "releasing the clubface") is one of those things that most instructors casually assume you need to do during a good swing. Let me make this perfectly clear: You don't and you shouldn't.

Let me repeat that. You don't need to twist your forearms during your swing and you shouldn't. No less an authority than Ben Hogan backs me up on this. In his book Five Lessons, which is a bible for many instructors, Hogan writes:
"The action of the arms is motivated by the movements of the body, and the hands consciously do nothing but maintain a firm grip on the club."
That's on page 82 of my copy, and Hogan felt so strongly about it that he put the whole thing in capital letters. If you try to use your hands, you automatically twist your forearms.

Why is that such a big deal? There are several reasons, but I'll focus on just one today. If you start trying to twist your forearms during your swing, most of you will end up with a "chicken wing followthrough." And among other things, "winging it" will produce slices and topped shots.

When you twist your forearms, you point your hands and club shaft away from the ball and pull through the shot with your elbow leading the way. If you do that, your hands can't "catch up" and square up the club face, hence you slice. Then that bent elbow pulls the clubhead into a shorter arc and you hit higher on the ball, hence you top it.

I talk a lot about connection -- that is, keeping your triceps resting lightly against your chest as much as you can throughout your swing -- and you can keep your lead tricep resting against your chest all the way from address until you swing your club over your lead shoulder when you pose at the finish. Your lead shoulder is your left shoulder if you play right-handed, and it's your right shoulder if you play left-handed. This connected position keeps your lead elbow fairly close to your chest.

That's important because a connected lead elbow is pointed toward the ground all the way through your swing.

And if your lead elbow stays close to your side and points to the ground all the way through your swing, your hands and the club tend to stay in front of you. When that happens, the back of your lead hand tends to return to its address position and you square up the club. Your arm doesn't shorten its arc. You get a nice solid hit on the ball.

Best of all, no one accuses you of being Col. Sanders's next victim. Smiley Faces

One of the best ways to get a feel for this move is to imagine you're throwing a Frisbee™ or hitting a tennis backhand. Most people naturally make the correct movement if they do that, plus they make the proper lower body move without sliding their hips too far forward during the downswing.

So pay some attention to that sneaky lead elbow and its tendency to move too far away from your side and lead your downswing. The only good chicken wing is an edible one!

  1. The Frisbee visual is perfect if you are having trouble keeping your swing in sync. Everybody knows what trying to throw a Frisbee too hard looks like, a wobbly mess that doesn't fly very far. Once I started grooving the feel I found I could hit fades and draws by imagining I was throwing the Frisbee to curve right or left.

    Fantastic tip that really uncluttered my head and got my natural rhythm back.

  2. Mike

    just want to say i look forward to your writing everyday...i thoroughly enjoy it........informative....and fun

  3. WJ -- It's always little things that make a difference, isn't it? Like I said in the post, anytime you can attach something new to something you already know (and that's not just in golf) you make things much easier to learn.

    Howard -- Thanks for the kind words!

Oregon-Based Firm Building Retro VW Campers

October 11, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Lovers of the classic Volkswagen Transporter camper van will be delighted to hear that the chic retro styled VW camping trailers pioneered by the Herefordshire, UK-based Dub Box Ltd., have crossed the pond and are now in production at Lake Oswego, Ore.-based Dub Box USA, according to a report by The RVing Examiner.

Headed by Heather Bauccio and Shane Medbery, Dub Box USA announced yesterday that they are ramping up production to meet unprecedented demand for their delightful homage to Volkswagen’s classic motor caravan.

“We have gotten so much interest,” said Bauccio during an exclusive RVing Examiner interview. “We are shocked at how it’s taken off, both on the camper side and on the event trailer side.”

According to Bauccio it’s the event-trailer side that’s proved the most successful part of the business to-date. Dub Box USA – which have the rights to manufacture and sell the Dub Box in North America and Canada – has already delivered a custom blue-and-white two-tone event trailer – the Capo VW Dub Box – to Volkswagen’s San Juan Capistrano, Calif.-based dealership which the business is using as a novel marketing tool to help boost their profile in the local community.

In addition, “we have a couple of (hotdog) food carts that are going to Hawaii that we’re assembling now,” said Bauccio.

English Company Resurrects Iconic VW Minibus

March 2, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Dub box camper van

Editor’s Note: The following is a blog from Gizmag reporting on the resurrection of the classic VW camper by Dub box USA. To view the entire article and additional pictures click here.

United Kingdom-based Dub box USA offers a new solution for nostalgic folks yearning for a camper as cool as the Volkswagen Type 2 of the 1950s and 60s. Its line of camping trailers is inspired by the classic VW buses, and is offered without the expense and headaches of restoring an old Type 2. You get out-of-the-box convenience with timeless, retro looks.

Dub box USA announced U.S. availability this week and a rep said that the first models will arrive in May. The standard Dub box retails for $17,990 and the DIY version, which requires you to assemble and paint it, costs $8,990. Dub box also offers the trailers in retail and food vendor configurations ranging between $14,990 and $22,990. A larger pop-top version with two bunk beds and a queen will launch in the future.

It may not be the largest, most useful camper, but the converted Volkswagen Type 2 van – or Transporter, Microbus, etc. – is definitely among the most iconic. Everything about the van just screams “open road freedom” … except perhaps for the fact that the first two generations of the Type 2 – the generations that made the model an icon – are now more than 30 (and even up to 62) years old. That type of age in a vehicle means all kinds of maintenance and restoration work, money and headaches.

VW may eventually create a reinvented camper cool enough to command the love and admiration of the original, but so far it’s been noncommittal. You could always go to Brazil where true-to-origin Type 2 vans are still built today, but in the United States and Europe, the options are largely to find and restore a classic Type 2 or buy a newer (not nearly as awesome) Type 2 camper.

Now there’s a new option that lets you get a brand new camper while enjoying timeless, decades-old looks. Dub box makes exactly zero effort to hide the fact that its line of campers was inspired by the VW Type 2. It even shows them being towed by same-colored Type 2s in its marketing photos, and the name “Dub box” (as in boxy V-Dub) pays homage. The camping trailers feature the same rounded-rectangle shape and square windows as the original Transporters. They also get two-toned exterior paint jobs. The only thing that might be missing for some nostalgic Type 2 fans is the split windshield of the first-generation vans.

Much the way the original Transporters were a symbol of freedom and individual spirit, the Dub box is designed to be completely customized by its owner. The company offers it in do-it-yourself models and completed campers, both of which offer the buyer plenty of say in colors, materials and equipment. Buyers can individualize their trailers with exterior and interior colors, flooring, blinds, upholstery and countertop materials.

The Dub box sleeps two with a double bed and offers a dining area large enough for four. It has kitchenette with two-ring gas burner, stainless steel sink, pump-action tap and retro fridge.

non teak rub rails and toe boards?

Hello all,

My toe boards and rubrails are both a little shoddy, which is acceptable I guess after 40 years with some neglect. So I''m looking to replace them, but if I could do so with something thats not teak, both for economic and environmental concerns, I think that would be best. I would still like to stay with wood, as the boats already plastic enough even with the accents. Any suggestions?

Black Locust. It''s harder then Oak and the grain is intertwined so it''s more resilient. It finishes nice too. You can probably find a tree in someone''s back yard that they want to get rid of. There''s a bunch of cheep African Mahogany 1X decking around but the stuff is brittle and it swells and contracts like crazy. I''ve also seen some good Fir decking around at Home Depot. Select the close grain stuff if you choose this wood.

While the heart wood of properly air dried black locust is about as rot resistant as a wood can be, the sap wood is a highly unstable, more prone to checking and rot. It is hard to find clear straight lengths of black locust and while there are other types of Locust these are totally unsuited for marine applications.

Both the African mahogany and fir are a little soft for rub rails and these materials need to be kept sealed to prevent rot.

We have been using a lot of Ipe for decking in our area. It appears to have many of the favorable characteristics of Teak at a lot less money. It is a very hard and dense wood but is a little hard on tools. Another wood that we''ve seen good prices on is Purple Heart which is also very durable and rot resistant but a bit hard to work as well.

Saint-Gobain Group Share Price. 20/01/2017 22:36 EUR 46.505

At the new Saint-Gobain Technical Academy in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, products in Weber’s diverse range have been used in many areas.  This includes tile fixing products in cloakrooms and wetrooms, and extensive use of Weber Floor throughout this impressive training facility.

“The Academy is an ideal shop window to display Design Floor screeds and we receive architects, designers and applicators regularly to view these dramatic and bold finishes,” says James Mead, marketing manager, Saint-Gobain Weber.  “Our products enable the creation of practical floors with modern, minimalist finishes that are quick, simple and cost-effective to install, as well as being casein-free, with low alkalinity and low emissions.”

Designed for optimum speed and simplicity these high performance products create a smooth and durable surface and in many cases can take light foot traffic in just a few hours. They are designed for use as floating, unbonded and bonded floor solutions.

A floor area in the Academy of 780m² was initially prepared with weber.floor 4360 base flow rapid which is a fast setting, rapid drying, pumpable, self-levelling screed ideal for solid floors in commercial and residential applications.  It can be applied to depths of between 20-80mm and can receive light foot traffic after only 2-3 hours.  This screed is fibre-modified for added durability.

In the Academy weber.floor 4650 design colour has been applied to provide a durable, seamless, super-smooth floor.  It is a through-coloured, pumpable, self-levelling compound ideal for commercial, residential and retail environments, as well as light truckload in industrial locations.  weber.floor 4650 design colour can be applied at depths between 4-15mm and is ready for foot traffic after only 3-5 hours.  It has excellent spreading and smoothing characteristics and is available in a choice of 10 colours for eye-pleasing aesthetics.

“Architect-designed interiors will often feature open-plan floor spaces to maximise the visual impact of impressive entrances, gallery layouts and retail spaces,” continues James Mead, “and Weber’s Design Floor concept opens up these new horizons for designers who want to achieve an added dimension in striking, long-lasting and low maintenance floor finishes.”

In specific areas of the Academy, weber.floor 4635 design ground stone has achieved a smooth, polished micro terrazzo finish which is both durable and attractive.  Curing time is around 3-5 hours, and after 24 hours the top surface can be ground and polished.  This is a pumpable screed which has the addition of hard aggregate granules. After grinding the recommended thickness should be between 10-12mm.  Available in dark or light grey weber.floor 4635 design ground stone is ideal for high foot traffic and light industry.

For more information about the Saint-Gobain Technical Academy, or for technical floor product support, please contact Saint-Gobain Weber on 08703 330 070, or visit  Customers in Ireland should call 028 9335 2999 or visit
