You will also find certain aesthetic choices to consider when selecting a litter can. Garbage containers happen to be inherently practical devices, but they can also be bought in different colors and styles to be able to better suit any space. Some trash cans could possibly be available in sleek metal while others may be bright and multicolored in order to stand out. Trash cups may also come in different sizes, including long and skinny or perhaps rectangular, making it possible to pick a trash can based on overall style elements in the space. Finally, there are many choices when buying cash containers. In order to find the right carrier, it is important to remember the space under consideration and choose a can that best complements the waste materials needs of the space.

Bishopstone Village Hall Trust is celebrating receiving a £31,306 funding boost for the refurbishment of Bishopstone Village Hall.
The village hall has been at the hub of life in Bishopstone for almost 100 years, and is especially important now as the pub has closed and there are no other places for residents to meet.
Over the years, the trustees have done their utmost to maintain the rapidly deteriorating building, but it remains in urgent need of modernisation.
The grant has been obtained from SITA Trust, an independent funding body that provides funding through the Landfill Communities Fund.
It will enable refurbishment works to be carried out to address the problems and make the building more inviting and accessible for the whole community.

Die Berijew MP-1 () war ein sowjetisches Flugboot.

Entwicklung
Die MP-1 war die Transportvariante der Berijew MBR-2 und wie diese ein einmotoriger Hochdecker. Jedoch waren die Waffenstände und die Außenlaststationen demontiert worden. So ergab sich eine bessere Flugleistung gegenüber dem Ausgangsmodell. Dies wurde genutzt um 1937 eine Reihe von Höhenweltrekorden für Frauen aufzustellen, die Polina Ossipenko erflog.

Die MP-1 war das erste sowjetische Passagierflugboot, das über einen nennenswerten Komfort verfügte. Auf der Route von Jalta nach Odessa, auf dem die MP-1 normalerweise eingesetzt wurden, konnten sich die Passagiere an den bequemen Sitzen, der geschmackvollen Inneneinrichtung und dem Belüftungssystem erfreuen. Der Erstflug der Maschine fand 1933 statt. Die Aeroflot begann 1934 die Maschinen im Liniendienst einzusetzen. Sie blieben zum Teil bis 1950 im Einsatz.

Die Frachtvarianten MP-1T und MP-1Tbis waren in der Regel umgebaute MBR-2, bei denen die Bewaffnung ausgebaut wurde. Die Maschinen wurden meistens in den Polarregionen eingesetzt, wo sie neben der eigentlichen Frachtflugzeugrolle auch als Fotoflugzeug und zur Eis- oder Fischbeobachtung eingesetzt wurden.

Dublin Bay water testing and treatment to be extended thanks to Green Party Councillors and local campaigners
Following a campaign by Green Party Councillors and sea-swimming groups, the Government has committed to extending the testing and disinfection of the water in Dublin Bay beyond traditional swimming months.
Ministers Malcolm Noonan and Darragh O'Brien have written to Green Party Cllr Donna Cooney to confirm that Irish Water have recently put their Ultra Violet (UV) disinfection system into operation at the Ringsend Waste Water Treatment Plant and intends to continue to operate it beyond the traditional bathing water season. This will allow them to assess the impact of operating the UV system all year round. Irish Water has also committed to conducting additional water monitoring across the rest of 2021.
Cllr Cooney welcomed the commitment, which comes after many meetings with Irish Water, Dublin City Council officials, EPA, the EU commission, and emergency motions passed by Dublin City Council;
"I'm delighted at this progress for Dublin Bay. With the huge increase in all-year sea swimming, this is essential for public health and happiness as there are so many benefits for physical health and well-being from sea swimming. We can now be more confident that bathing water quality will improve and Dubliners and visitors alike, can enjoy our wonderful bay all year around.
"It's also good news for the protection of biodiversity and marine life in the Dublin Bay biosphere as the increase in nutrients from untreated sewage damages the marine ecosystem."
The Ministers have also confirmed that the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has recently signed a capital commitment request from Irish Water for the upgrade of the Ringsend Plant.
Green Party Cllr Claire Byrne welcomed the news;
"The extension of testing and disinfection measures in Dublin Bay is a step in the right direction and will hopefully lead to year round monitoring. Ultimately, the upgrade of the Ringsend Waste Water Treatment Plant will make a substantial difference to the water quality in Dublin Bay and the capital commitment from the Department is significant. There's a lot of talk across the political spectrum about Dublin Bay and proposed solutions but with the Green Party in Government we're actually taking action. If I am elected next month as TD for Dublin Bay South, it will further strengthen the Green influence in Government and improvements to water quality will remain a key priority.
"I would also like to acknowledge the ongoing work of the Bathing Water Expert Group and welcome the news that the Dublin Bay Task Force on Bathing Water will be extended."

Q: SOAP server in python that also generates WSDL I'm looking to implement a SOAP web service in python on top of IIS. Is there a recommended library that would take a given Python class and expose its functions as web methods? It would be great if said library would also auto-generate a WSDL file based on the interface.

A: There is an article by Doug Hellmann that evaluates various SOAP Tools

*

*http://doughellmann.com/2009/09/01/evaluating-tools-for-developing-with-soap-in-python.html
Other ref:

*

*http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebServices

*http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/

A: You might want to take a look at https://github.com/stepank/pyws, it can expose python functions as SOAP methods and provides WSDL description. I've just released version 1.0, it's interoperability was tested on several clients, so it seems to be quite friendly.

A: Take a look at SOAPpy (http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/).  It allows you to expose your functions as web methods, but you have to add a line of code (manually) to register your function with the exposed web service.  It is fairly easy to do.  Also, it doesn't auto generate wsdl for you.
Here's an example of how to create your web service, and expose a function:
    server = SOAPpy.SOAPServer(("", 8080))
    server.registerFunction(self.hello)

How is gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery performed?
There are two types of operations. In open gastric bypass surgery an incision is made in the abdomen. In laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, a smaller incision is made and a surgeon uses small instruments and a camera to guide the surgical process.
In both procedures, surgical staples (or sometimes a plastic band) are used to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach, hence the colloquial term "stomach stapling" used to refer to the surgery. The smaller stomach is then connected directly to the middle of the small intestine, bypassing much of the upper stomach and intestines.
How does gastric bypass surgery work to reduce weight?
Most simply, gastric bypass surgery is surgery that makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass a portion of the small intestine. Patients who undergo successful surgery generally lose weight afterward for two reasons: they feel full sooner and bypassing the small intestine causes fewer calories to be absorbed by the body.
What are the risks of gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery?
While gastric bypass surgery has benefited many people, saving them from health problems associated with obesity, the risks of bariatric surgery are many. According to the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System, which has an internationally respected gastric bypass program, these problems range from the commonplace and remediable to the serious and fatal.
Perhaps the most common problem is a leak from a staple or staples that have pulled loose from the stomach (or the spot where the new, smaller stomach is attached to the small intestine) into the abdominal cavity. This can produce peritonitis (an inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdomen wall) or a pulmonary embolism, a blockage of blood flow into the lungs. If left untreated too long, either can prove fatal.
Some programs have put the risk ratios at higher levels, some lower. The fatality rate was reported at 2 percent in the study of 3,328 gastric bypass patients reported in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. The American Gastroenterological Association reported in 2002 that fewer than three in 200 (or 1.5 percent) of patients die after the weight-loss surgery. Other studies have put the fatality risk at 1 percent or lower.
Still with 170,000 gastric bypasses expected to be performed in the United States in 2005, even a 1 percent fatality rate represents 1,700 deaths following bariatric surgery.
What is a major cause of bariatric-related injuries?
More than 64 percent of adults in the United States are considered overweight or obese, according to the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Among those are people considered to be "morbidly obese," defined as 100 pounds overweight, a condition associated with severe physical problems. The most serious, of course, is an increased mortality rate due to a number of health-related factors.
According to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, for men and women 50 percent above average weight the mortality rate increased twofold, and by far greater rates for people with diabetes or digestive tract disease. Most of the deaths are associated with conditions stemming from obesity, including hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cholelithiasis, obstructive sleep apnea, hypoventilation, degenerative arthritis and psychosocial impairments.

Prior to August 5, there were 100 to 400 Earthquakes over 2.5 on the Big Island of Hawaii, daily. After the Indonesia 6.9 EQ the EQ on Hawaii now dropped to 1 today.
Review of the UTC (universal time) data on the USGS site shows that the Big Island has been slowing down for really big quakes (they call them Eruptions with no justifications, but then they don't have to be reported as huge quakes) for weeks. Then the Hawaii EQ slowed down to several per hour as opposed to 20 or 30 per hours, and a few hours later the Indonesian 6.9 hit.
The same time that the Indonesian Earthquake hit, The Hawaii earthquakes dropped to 13, then 5, then 1.
Amazing, that apparently no one else has linked these events.
Amazing find, Stock. Keep it up.
Mahalo, I dropped notes at some of the other "big boys" such as Dutchsinse and Suspicious0bservers.
Renewed activity on Hawaii and other unusual Earthquakes far north and far south. Areas that only get an earthquake every 25 years or so.

Criterion's Feb slate revealed, plus the Star Wars Prequels, Rogue One & Force Awakens in 4K
November 15, 2019 - 6:57 pm	| by	Bill Hunt
All right, first things first today: Criterion has just announced its February 2020 slate of Blu-ray and DVD titles.
Look for it to include Alfonso Cuarón's Roma (Spine #1014 – Blu-ray and DVD) on 2/11, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Teorema (Spine #1013 – Blu-ray and DVD) and an updating of Hiroshi Teshigahara's Antoni Gaudí (Spine #425 – Blu-ray and DVD) on 2/18, and Jeannie Livingston's Paris is Burning (Spine #1018 – Blu-ray and DVD) and Three Fantastic Journeys by Karel Zeman (Blu-ray and DVD) on 2/25. That last set includes Journey to the Beginning of Time (Spine #1015), Invention for Destruction (Spine #1016), and The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (Spine #1017). You can read more here at the Criterion website.
Those are all fine titles, but Roma is particularly appreciated given that it was a Netflix release last year and hasn't been available on physical media yet.
Also today, our own Michael Coate has a new History, Legacy & Showmanship column here at The Bits—first posted yesterday afternoon—in which he looks back at James Cameron's The Abyss with historian Matthew Kapell in honor of the film's 30th anniversary. It's a great piece, so do give it a look. And who knows? Maybe it will remind the director that he's got a new 4K HDR grade of the film to approve so we can all watch it on Blu-ray and UHD sooner rather than later. [Read on here...]
Now then… I believe I promised to offer my thoughts on the other Star Wars titles on Disney+. So here goes....
Let me speak generally first: All three of the prequel films look better than I expected them to in 4K. The upsampling is generally strong and the HDR grades are a little more aggressive, which fits the material. As with the classic Star Wars Trilogy, both HDR10 and Dolby Vision are available and I think the latter does a slightly better job optimizing the imagery for your display. And Lucasfilm appears to have applied state of the art processing to give them each a more filmic look. When these films came out on Blu-ray, for example, they were very digital looking. The opening battle scene of Episode III straight-up looked like video… which of course it was. So now they each look a tad more cinematic, and that's appreciated. But these films are still limited by the circumstances of their production.
The Phantom Menace fares the least well here, which is odd because it was mostly shot on actual 35 mm film. If they'd rescanned the OCN, they'd have gotten a significant bump in resolution. The problem is that the filmed footage is massively integrated with CG visual effects in nearly every shot. So the native 4K material would stick out like a sore thumb and the only way to correct that would be to redo literally all of the visual effects shots. Which, of course, they didn't. So what they've done instead is upsampled the DI and applied a modest Digital Noise Reduction pass to basically the entire film, more so in some shots than others. That means there's edge enhancement baked into many shots, though it does look like the algorithm has minimized it a bit. Then they color graded the final image. The result is a mixed bag. There's no improvement in detail (and the DNR means there is sometimes even less detail), but the HDR grade and filmic processing are pleasing. I suppose it's about the best we could hope for—and again it at least looks better than I expected.
Attack of the Clones… this one is a little tougher for me. So much of what's in this film just induces a groan from me every time I think about it. But whatever, it is what it is. This was obviously the first Star Wars film shot entirely digitally using the Sony CineAlta HDW-F900 in HDCAM format at 1080/24p and it was finished as a 2K DI. And while detail is still soft, it's also much more consistent than Phantom and features none of Phantom's defects. I detect no DNR that wasn't already there in the first place. The upsampling is quite nice. The color grade is gorgeous, with HDR that really pops nicely. And the post-processing here gives the film a very nice and highly cinematic look. Again, the Blu-ray had a very digital appearance and I like this presentation much more. So there's that. Once again, it's better than I expected.
Revenge of the Sith is very much on par with Attack of the Clones in terms of image quality. It too was shot on digitally in HDCAM format at 1080/24p and finished as a 2K DI. But fine image detail and texturing seem a little tighter and more nuanced here, and there are fewer flaws in the image that might be exaggerated by upsampling. I suspect that's due to improvements in camera technology; this film used the upgraded Sony CineAlta HDC-F950 (vs the earlier HDR-F900). There's also a LOT more for high dynamic range to work with in this film, and both HDR10 and Dolby Vision really give the image a lovely pop. The highlights still have a slightly video look (meaning they're a bit hot and tend to lack detail), but on the whole this is the most consistently pleasing image of the three Prequels. By no means does it compare to the classic Star Wars Trilogy in 4K, but as with Phantom and Sith, this film looks better than I expected in 4K.
The Atmos sound mixes for all three of these films are spectacular. I'll review them in much more detail when the physical 4K UHDs arrive next year, but these are definitely demo worth mixes. The Podrace sequence in Phantom is spectacular, the Jango Fett/Obi-Wan asteroid chance in Clones is great too (that seismic charge blast effect is terrific in the height channels), and Sith thrills sonically from start to finish. Not to mention the fact that these three films offer some of John Williams' best and most expansive scores in the Saga.
I should note that I haven't watched all three films end-to-end yet, so I can't comment on any additional changes or tweaks George Lucas may have made to them. I don't know of any at the moment, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be a few.
If I were to grade these Disney+ presentations compared to other 4K, I'd do so thusly:
The Phentom Menace (Video/Audio): C-/A
Attack of the Clones: C+/A
Revenge of the Sith: B-/A+
Again, I'll be curious to see how these streams compared to the full-bandwidth presentations on physical 4K Ultra HD next year.
Now for the newer stuff… The Force Awakens was shot on 35 mm film once more, and looks it. Image detail is abundant, while texturing has a lovely and natural quality. Grain is present, as it should be, but it's appealing and never excessive. The film was finished originally as a native 4K DI and it shows. The wider gamut expands the color palette nicely (particularly appreciated in the Jakku desert scenes) and the HDR grade doesn't alter it. High dynamic range deepens the shadows yet retains detail, while the highlights have a nice luminous glow. The improvement in detail is not insignificant and I think the HDR really enhances the image; I definitely prefer this presentation to the 1080p Blu-ray. And I can't wait to see how this will look on physical 4K with less compression. The Atmos mix on this film is quite good, though not as impressive as or aggressive as the Prequels.
The Force Awakens: A-/A-
And here's great news… Rogue One looks straight-up terrific in 4K. This one was shot digitally in the ARRIRAW codec at 6.5K using the Arri Alexa 65 and it was finished as a native 4K Digital Intermediate. So it's just bursting with lovely fine detail. Texturing is nuanced and exquisite. The HDR grade enhances both the darkest shadows and brightest highlights—both HDR10 and Dolby Vision are excellent. Color is lush, rich, and natural. And the combination of the higher resolution, wider color gamut, and HDR gives the film a highly dimensional look throughout, but especially in the film's climatic battle sequence. When the X-Wings dive toward the Scarif shield generator, you'll feel like you're right there in the middle of them. Really the only strike against this presentation, in my mind, is that it's compressed for streaming. I REALLY can't wait to see this film in physical 4K with max data rates. The Atmos mix here is fantastic too, and the height channels are used to great effect when the Death Star fires on Jedda and during the space battle. Even as a stream, this 4K presentation thrills from start to finish.
Rogue One: A/A+
All right that's enough Star Wars discussion for one week. I'll talk about The Mandalorian and Disney+ more generally here in my column on Monday.
But before we go, let me first take a moment to acknowledge the passing of the great film production designer Lawrence G. Paull, who died on Sunday at the age of 81. Paull's work on Ridley Scott's Blade Runner stands for all time as a testament to his talents, and he worked on such films as Back to the Future and Romancing the Stone as well. I've very glad that Paull got to live long enough to see the future he helped create become the present. Cinephiles owe him a debt. You can read more here at the Hollywood Reporter.
Okay... have a good weekend, folks! See you back here on Monday.

Kenyon were approached by the owner of a Stately Home in the Midlands with a view to having a bespoke Cold Room installed in his new Kitchen. The Client had seen another Kenyon bespoke Cold Room installed in another large residence in Hungerford and was happy with the high Kenyon specification.
On this Cold Room the exterior had to be "high grade" Satin finish Stainless Steel including the mode profiles used to create the energy efficiency within the Coldroom. The inside was white with the floor being "Anti Slip" Stainless Steel. Further more the client wanted the ability when guests were invited over for the Cold Room to function as a Chiller at 0C and a Freezer at -20C. This was achieved by firstly selecting the Kenyon 100mm thick Modular Coldroom Panels with Kenyon "mode profiles" to create the energy efficiency and thermal dynamics required.
Two Refrigeration systems were then selected operating on individual control panels. When freezing is required with low -20C temperature internal dynamics, system A is selected. When chilling is required with medium 0C temperature internal dynamics, system B is selected. Kenyon are experts at producing bespoke applications and Kenyon Cold Rooms are being more and more specified by Architects and Home owners alike.

COA Application
Historic Preservation Manual
Crosstie Historic District Ordinance
Crosstie Historic District Map
Founders District Map
Amzie Moore Home Ordinance
Tax Abatement Ordinance
Tax Abatement Application
In 1995, the City of Cleveland adopted a historic preservation ordinance to protect historic areas of the City. This ordinance created the Cleveland Heritage Commission consisting of nine appointed volunteers who serve three year terms.
The main goal of the Heritage Commission is to administer the Historic Preservation Ordinance through design review, public education and awareness, preservation planning, and research.
The Heritage Commission meets regularly at 12:00 p.m. noon on the second Tuesday of each month in the Board Room at City Hall. Those currently serving on the Cleveland Heritage Commission are as follows:
Kim Chisolm, CLG Coordinator
Jonett Valentine, Chair
Judy Wilson
Corinne Casanova
Judy Dilworth
Cetin Oguz
Lynn Shurden
Certificates of Appropriateness and the Design Review Process
Property owners within the Crosstie Historic District enjoy the advantages of increased economic value and a built environment protected from unsympathetic changes. The Cleveland Heritage Commission protects the rights and investments of property owners and business establishments through the design review process. By preserving and maintaining visual character, the CHC ensures that citizens and visitors alike will enjoy the benefits of Cleveland's historic built environment.
Which properties require design review?
All designated properties require design review. Designated properties include all properties within locally designated historic districts and individually designated sites. Please note that design review covers both historic (contributing) and non-historic (non-contributing) properties in a historic district. The City currently recognizes the Crosstie Historic District as a local historic district and provides guidance and support to those property owners within that district. This historic district encompasses a major portion of the historic downtown area of Cleveland. A call to the Department of Community Development (662-843-4601) can confirm whether or not a property is located within a regulated historic district.
What is design review?
The Historic Preservation Ordinance provides for a design review process. Design review consists of the evaluation of any proposed exterior work upon a designated property. Both minor and extensive projects must be reviewed and approved prior to beginning work. The design review process is often triggered by a building permit application; however, building permits cannot be issued until design review is complete. Although some types of work projects, such as installation of a walkway or a satellite dish, may not require a building permit, design review is still required.
What type of work requires design review?
All work involving a change to an exterior feature of a designated property requires design review. Projects that physically alter the property include but are not limited to:
·Changes in site or setting,
·Repair or rehabilitation,
·Relocation or demolition, and
·New construction or additions.
Neither interior alteration nor a change in the use of the property require design review. The Historic Preservation Ordinance applies to external appearance of the property and regulates neither zoning nor land use. Ordinary maintenance does not require design review.
What is a Certificate of Appropriateness?
When planning a work project, an owner must submit a completed application for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). Applications are available from and should be submitted to the Department of Community Development at 1098 Old Highway 61 North or may be downloaded using the "COA Application" button found in the side bar of this page. The deadline for submitting applications is one week prior to the Heritage Commission's regular meeting.
Utilizing design guidelines and the general standards for the rehabilitation of historic properties, the Heritage Commission must decide to approve or deny the application. If the application is approved, a COA is issued and design review is complete.

-Its brightness is up to 2250 lumen/1950 lumen, fully meet your lighting needs.
-More energy efficient than old halogen lamp, great replacement for 75W HPSL (high pressure sodium lamp), saving over 60% on your electricity bill.
-General lighting: illumination area is 20-30 sq. m. with about 75-150 lux when installation height is 4-6 meters.
-Outdoor light: illumination area is 30-40 sq. m. with about 50-75 lux when installation height is 5-7 meters.
"Please note there are just bare wires on these lights so you hard wire them in. Which is exactly what we did. We just add more wire to them to get the distance we need if necessary. We use stranded copper wire and just solder them together and then use heat shrink tubing to waterproof the wiring. We have installed a lot of these lights to light up parking areas. People love the bright light and feel safer. The fixture is very water proof, we haven't had any problem with water getting inside them. I highly recommend them. "
"Years ago while traveling around England my wife left her hair dryer in our previous hotel. No big deal. I trotted out and bought another one. When I got back to the hotel room and opened the box we were surprised to find that there was no plug attached to the wires. The front desk found my surprise amusing and sent me out to a plug store - the place literally sold nothing but plugs. I returned with the appropriate plug but working alone in the room, couldn't attach it properly. I went down to the front desk where they found my ineptitude even more amusing. I asked them if they could attach the plus. "No problem," they said. After about ten minutes a third amateur electrician was called in. Fifteen minutes later they handed over the fully functional hair dryer, and said, "See, simple." I thought if I ever wrote a book about Britain the title would be, "England, a Nation of Electricians."
When the first four of these lights arrived, Deja Vu. I was surprised when the first four lights arrived, with very short wires, *and* NO plugs. I had talked to a representative and been assured they were "plug and play." I guess it's my fault for not asking if plugs were included, but it didn't occur to me that they might not be.
The rest, is completely my fault - buying male plugs (or female, I forget which) when I needed their opposite; initially attempting to strip the wires without the tool designed for this purpose; and a bit of a challenge climbing the learning curve to correctly hook the striped wires around the inside of the plugs.
Finally, I have four "warm white," and three "daylight" 30 W lights. The latter are substantially brighter."
"The led flood lights is pretty great, I have bought 2 from LE and installed on the front of my house, very nice and bright, I highly recommend to anyone who are looking for flood lights!"
What's the power source 110V, 240V or both?
As for your question, it is OK as long as the power source is within 100-240V.
Return customer, have loved our LED cabinet lighting for over a year, worry free. Superior Quality.
Working on an outdoor project, With a 30W LED Flood, are there any fixture heat considerations?
Could someone "shroud the edges to make the light more directional (like pointing a beam of light straight down onto something)?
Or what would you recommend for that application?
As for your questions, thank you for your love. You could search for 3400041-DW on our web, that is a 30W,waterproof light you can use it on outdoor project.


For a small upfront investment, homeowners can breathe cleaner air, save money, and benefit the environment. These are just some of the biggest benefits of HVAC Maintenance in Citrus Heights CA. Now, let's look at why regular service is such a great investment.
Preventive maintenance benefits a homeowner's bottom line in various ways.
Regular maintenance reduces the risk of system failure by up to 95%. Just as a motorist wouldn't drive their car for 50,000 miles without routine service, they shouldn't forget about the home's HVAC system.
The Environmental Protection Agency says that indoor airborne pollutant levels may be up to five times higher than those outdoors. This is significant if anyone in the house has asthma or another respiratory issue. With preventive maintenance, homeowners are more likely to get the clean, well-filtered air they deserve.
Homeowners depend on their HVAC systems to keep them comfortable all year long. Regular HVAC Maintenance in Citrus Heights CA helps systems create and distribute air more consistently, and it reduces the odds of a sudden breakdown at an inconvenient time.
Everyone has heard a horror story of a vacationing neighbor who has returned to HVAC-related damage. If the heat stops working during a hard freeze, it may cause pipes to burst and water damage to occur. Repairs in these situations are incredibly expensive, but regular HVAC maintenance heads these problems off before they become uncontrollable.
For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, a well-maintained heating and cooling system consumes less fuel. An environmentally-conscious homeowner should know which type of refrigerant the system uses, as the EPA is phasing out harmful substances. A technician will help customers learn about their options and the refrigerant's effects on the environment.
Investing in preventive maintenance gives homeowners the reassurance of knowing that, if something happens, they've made the situation as easy as possible to resolve. Visit Goldenaire.net for more details or call today to schedule HVAC service. You can also visit them on Facebook.

If you're an internet marketer or e-commerce business owner, This book is for you. Between 2 million and 3 million e-commerce companies exist globally, together with the USA and Canada hosting at 1.3 million of these online companies. It goes without saying that there's never been a need to have your company stand out in the countless existence, but to have your e-commerce business deliver value whilst offering a return. With lower startup prices and barriers to entry, coupled with a reach and the rising worldwide trend of shopping, a growing number of entrepreneurs have turned into retail instead of businesses. Together with the annual worldwide earnings growing from the 24-26% range since 2014, the earnings potential of e-commerce businesses has been for most entrepreneurs to maneuver. $2.3 Trillion US dollars has been transacted in online and e-commerce earnings so far with e-retail earnings anticipated to expand to more than $4 trillion in 2021 based on the top researcher and provider of market and consumer information, Statista. Dotcom secrets plans to help online businesses stand out from the millions of e-commerce businesses on the market, increase the traffic to their websites, convert in-coming customers through their sales funnel and to substantially increase the online sales of their products, which is undoubtedly the want of every e-commerce business proprietor. Throughout the Dotcom Secrets book, Russell takes you into the marketing world to educate you 7 actionable actions to help to make your e-commerce company a company instead of thousand dollar companies like all the rest.
So, with an assortment of over 30,000 books talking about E-commerce, Internet and internet marketing on Amazon alone, why bother reading the Dotcom Secrets by Russell Brunson? The proof of the pudding is in the tasting like they say, and when Russell Brunson has tasted business growth for over five decades, I would say he does have a taste but a mouthful of pudding! With just 25 days to go to 2019, the countdown has started! Online and e-commerce company owners, like you had plans and goals to achieve for the year 2018. If your internet business did not perform well in 2018 due to bad website traffic generation and conversion-related problems, I can assure you that by this time next year your business will be in a glimpse at best or would have declined at worst if you don't take action to stand on the shoulders of an internet marketing giant and also learn how to generate your e-commerce company flourish. Many times, as business owner or an internet marketer, there is a gap or chasm between also the implementation plan required to permeate and dominate your market and the market potential of your business idea that is online. Every entrepreneur has been within their business life through this phase or stage. That's why it's very important to understand what instructor and the early Philosopher taught about studying. To paraphrase, Confucius taught that expression is the most admirable way we could learn – fake is the simplest and that learning through experience is the form of learning. According to this information from Confucius, do not learn through your toil, sweat and blood's bitter experience when others have done before you – when residing in the fast-paced and evolving world of internet companies. Like Isaac Newton, stand on the shoulders of giants, so that if you can not reflect to obtain wisdom on growth strategies and internet marketing , then try and imitate the activities and approaches described in the Dotcom Secrets to help grow your business. In summary, do not take my word concerning the publication, business guru and strategist Tony Robbins says, after studying the Dotcom Secrets by Russell Brunson, which it's the easiest process that any business could use to significantly increase their internet trafficconversion and internet sales.


All public streams, lakes and ponds are open to fishing all year long except some state-owned and managed Public Fishing Lakes (PFL). Observe that solely groups of four competitors in the 24 hour Rogue Raid are eligible for the Adventure 1 collection points and prizes. Sustaining good fishing in ponds requires correct design, stocking with acceptable fish species and ongoing fish administration.
On September 29 2018, mountain bike, lake canoe, and trail run in teams of two on designated trails within the Kananaskis Barrier Lake space. Most adventure races are group occasions, with expedition length races usually requiring a set variety of teammates (often 4 or 5) and requiring the groups to be co-ed. Quick Course: A format usually used when reduce-off instances are instituted and to keep away from forcing groups to 'DNF' (don't end) the place one or more sections are omitted to ensure that groups officially finish a shorter model of the race.

10 Fun Office Toys and Gadgets

The Holographic Desk
Is this the future of office work?
Colin Anderson/Photographer's Choice/Getty Images
What if everything on your desk was a hologram, from the photo of your spouse and your keyboard to the tiny Princess Leia who insists on calling you "Obi Wan." Imagine your entire workspace as interactive illusion. Much of the necessary technology already exists, such as the motion-sensing Kinect interface for Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming system. In fact, Microsoft is already developing this technology into tomorrow's HoloDesk.
Microsoft's OmniTouch technology will allow future cube farmers to use projected touch screens on any flat surface and the HoloDesk system, not unlike the laser keyboard and LuminAR lamp discussed earlier. But as illustrated in videos released by Microsoft's Research department in October 2011, HoloDesk technology allows users to manipulate holographic 3-D images as if they were real.
In other words, the workspace of the future will be amazing -- and so will the pet rocks.

I am a DEA and carried out just one (thankfully) EPC for EPC works last September. Chased them on and off since then for my fee but it's the same sorry tale as every other DEA on here has told.
Wonder if Kayleigh did take her complaint about these comments to the police? They would then need further evidence to find out if her complaint is valid or not. Bet she's not up for that!
Paid by debit card up front, received receipts, Jeff Maunder did the inspections two weeks later. Kept chasing them after 8 weeks still no certificates. Kept being fobbed off when phoned , never called back. Finaly reported them to STROMA who train the assessors. Stroma told us that Tony Burridge has now been struck off as an assessor. Also told that the person doing the assessment is the only person allowed to sign the certificate, or it is illegal. Tony Burridge is also trading under other names for EPCs so be careful.
Used this company (EPC Worx) back in January. They took my money, 2 days later Jeff Maunder visited and i received my report 2 days later and i was chuffed as hell. Used them again 1 month ago, took my money, next day Jeff Maunder did the inspection and now im still awaiting my report and all the numbers i have are disconnected. Now i find this site. The first report is useless and im another £39 down. What a bunch of c - - - s.
Epcworx is/was part of fasthips, as is their new company metroepc.com and hothomesuk which they've just shut down in a hurry after running off with a lot of money.
The only way to get hold of Kayleigh is to bombard them with phone calls. I have rung every hour every day for some time now. Speak to the ever loyal Leah or Hannah. Any is a waste of space. Eventually you will get put through to Kayleigh. Don't believe a word she says though.
Tony Burridge is always out doing surveys - even though he has been banned and Jacqueline is always out - I guess spending all the money she has scammed of the general public. Please do not touch this company.
all of the coments are not true and i am dissapointed that epc compare can publish this with out coments or replys from epc worx we shall be seekining legal advise about these publications.
as we have now had agressive calls which are unjust this matter may have to be taken to the police.
i also not that the pccb will not reply to the complaint that was publication that that epc worx was part of fasthips as this is not true.
EPC's ordered and paid for at the end of March. 'Assessor' who turned up was not the name on certificates. This is illegal. Certificates when they eventually arrived were totally wrong. Despite frequent calls to EPCWorx and many promises by them it has not been sorted. The assessor wjos name is on the certificates has had his licence revoked.
Don't get involved with EPCWorx or any of their spring off companies.
They have been reported them to Trading Standards as they are in breach of contract the next step is to report them for fraud.
I have completed two EPC's for you on your request in February. You had agreed to pay me £37 per property which amounts to £74 in total. Since then I am chasing you for that money, but every time I was given a different story and explanation. You said an invoice was not received, then another invoice was sent. I have spoken to Kelly, Hannah and Andy on so many occasions, and every time I was told a new story, (cheque has been issued/send it to payment section/cheque is in the post etc). I think you are deliberately trying to avoid paying the costs of the EPC's.
I'm given you one last chance to settle this matter within 7 days from the date of this email, which is 26th May 2011. If I do not receive the money by then, I will take legal action to recover the money.
AVOID AVOID AVOID- total fraud.
They are now Metro EPC- avoid this company awell.
AWFUL - to be avoided. Still waiting for my EPC after 39 days, despite numerous emails and phone calls they just fob you off. Terrible service.
VERY VERY VERY POOR. Do not use. If only I had read these reviews before I ordered the EPC and floor plan. Terribly company.
It's a shame you can't put lower than 1, as this would be where they should be scored! Quick enough to take the money, impossible to get the EPC in a timely manner & losts of promises made & broken. It has taken well over a dozen calls from me to finally get the EPC, but e-mails sent to Kayleigh Burridge go ignored. Yes they're cheap, but use them only if you have the time/energy to have to keep chasing them. I won't use them again!
Further to a previous review, we have now recieved the EPC, just a shame it took weeks of phone calls to get it.
Paid for an EPC up front it has never materialised just constant excuses. This company are rubbish and possibly fraudulent - avoid them at all costs.
There is no service - avoid this company at all costs but if, like me, you have paid and not received an EPC then reclaim your money from the bank/credit company on the basis of fraud (which it is, of course).
I will never use this company again and would recommend anybody else to go elsewhere. They take your money up front and don't deliver what they promise. All you get is platitudes - not the EPC you have paid for. Plenty of other reliable companies so don't go near this one! Still waiting ..
This has got to be one of the most unreliable firms I have dealty with. First they did not turn up at all the first time and now a month later I still haven't received my energy report and despite numerous phone calls to the Bristol office I am no closer - appalling company do not use them!


PicsCliq was a clever app which allowed wedding photographers to upload and sell their work after the event. The site offered a great interface for people to check out and share the photos online, so photographers received free marketing as their work was send throughout the networks of the happy couple. The idea was to create a place where friends and family would want to go anyway, instead of trying to get them to visit a stand-alone sales portal where it was hard to enjoy the images themselves.
PicsCliq hired Cantilever to design and develop the frontend for two control panels: The Couple Dashboard and the Photographer Dashboard.
The Photographer Dashboard featured a slick brushed-steel look that felt powerful and rigid. We wanted it to fit in with Aperture, Lightroom and other top photo software.
Users could upload photos, request payment, check the status of their weddings, update their professional profiles and more, so the true challenge was to build a user experience that felt right. We worked closely with the founders, using sketches, wireframes and paper prototypes to forge a straightforward workflow and sensible UI controls.
For the Couple dashboard, the aesthetic was fun and bubbly instead – they're getting married, after all! We wanted visitors to feel excited about setting up their wedding, and after the big day, reviewing and organizing their photo library.
Under the hood, though, we used the same rigorous UI approach to arrive at an experience which allowed the user to do a lot without it feeling like work.

Review: Bodyguard
Features, Reviews
Are you looking for something to watch to keep you busy during the week between episodes of Game of Thrones?. Look no further than Bodyguard. Btw speaking of Game of Thrones Richard Madden aka Rob Stark stars in this BBC drama now on Netflix.
Bodyguard focuses on the life of army veteran now police officer David Budd who (hence the name), becomes bodyguard to the U.K foreign secretary Julia Montague, played by Keeley Hawes. We see the mistrustful Budd become close to the powerful Montague as their relationship becomes more intimate.
Budd suffers from PTSD after serving in Afghanistan and this affects him throughout the show: his relationship between his wife and children as well as with Montague. As the show develops it becomes obvious that all is not well with Budd or indeed the police force, or the security service……..or the government…..yeah everyone's a bit mad in this show. As the level of corruption within the police force becomes evident Budd finds himself embroiled in scandals and his past slowly comes back to haunt him.
It is a tense and entertaining series with some fine acting from Mr.Madden and co. It probably won't take you much more than a week to watch this. There are also some cool twists and turns to keep you on your toes, plenty of action and even a bit of romance. So there's plenty to keep you going over the long weekend till Monday night (or the early hours of Monday for all you mad bastards out there)

Does your kid need to see things closer? Maybe not, but I bet they will still enjoy these kid-sized binoculars. My daughter got them as a gift several years ago, and all three kids still fight over them.
The squishy plastic rims fit easily over little eyes, and the cutout shapes means they never get it wrong when holding them up to their face. The neck strap helps keep them in place, yet snaps apart in a flash under tension, so you never have to worry about strangulation.
My kids love these binoculars.
These binoculars don't come with adjustable focus, which sounds bad except that you never have to worry about your kid seeing through them clearly. Our pair has outlasted several bumps, bruises, and tussles over ownership, yet still looks almost brand new.
My three and a half year old playing with our binoculars.
My kids rarely use them to take a closer look outdoors, but they play with them all the time. I've also spotted the same set on multiple other kids, so I'm confident it isn't just my kids who love them. Our only problem is that we only own one pair for three kids.

Possible Saban Assistants
By Todd Jan 6, 2007, 10:43pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Possible Saban Assistants
The Birmingham News reports that Miami Dolphins safeties coach Kirby Smart has been hired to coach the defensive backs at UA. They also provide a list of assistant coaches that could possibly come to Alabama to be a part of Saban's staff:
Saban spent much of the day interviewing prospective coaches. A full roster of coaches with whom he spoke Friday was not available, but according to two sources familiar with the process, some of them are:
Mississippi State running backs coach Shane Beamer, a former Virginia Tech player whose father is longtime Hokies coach Frank Beamer.
Former Houston Texans offensive line coach Steve Marshall, who also was an offensive coordinator at Texas A&M and at North Carolina.
Travis Jones, an assistant defensive line coach with the Dolphins, who played at Georgia.
Bobby Williams, the Dolphins running backs coach, who followed Saban as Michigan State head coach.
Additionally, LSU offensive line coach Stacy Searels is expected to visit Tuscaloosa and speak with Saban today.
Still no word on Jimbo Fisher, but from everything I've been reading it looks like he's more likely to take the FSU job since the UA trustees screwed him out of the HC position at UAB. I honestly don't blame him.
Update [2007-1-6 23:43:37 by Todd]:
The Georgia Sports Blog reports that Stacy Searels is headed to UGA, while Hack brings us word that FSU has rescinded their offer to Jimbo Fisher. Fingers crossed people...

2022 Fiji Election: Kiran condemns "bloodshed" statements.
Shayal Devi
Sashi Kiran (right) shares a light moment with Priscilla Singh (left) and Ansu Lata at the National Federation party office in Suva, on Fri 04 Nov 202. Picture: ELIKI NUKUTABU
NATIONAL Federation Party (NFP) candidate for the 2022 polls Sashi Kiran says she has worked with the iTaukei people and in iTaukei communities for many years and has always felt safe.
Speaking on Sashi Singh's Talking Point on Facebook, the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprise and Development founder said it made her "very angry" every time Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama spoke about bloodshed during campaign meetings.
"That's why I put that (political advertisement regarding peace and security) together – peace and security – this country has been peaceful," she said.
"If you remember, when Syria, the fifth ship (carrying indentured labourers from India), was wrecked in the colonial days, the indigenous people did not wait for the leader to come and tell them to rescue the people of Indian origin. They went out and rescued.
"I have often said that when I went to PNG for election observation and I was in a boat in rough seas, I realised how much I trust my people in this land (Fiji).
"Every time I have been in a boat in choppy waters, whether it's Yasawa or Lau, I have always felt very safe. I have worked in extreme rural areas and I have never felt a threat or fear living amongst the indigenous people.
"I actually feel very protected and safe. So somebody coming in and saying that you need a leader to keep one ethnic group safe from the other, it makes me really, really angry because we have lived together peacefully each time a politician does not come to poke us around."
Ms Kiran also urged voters to have the courage to do the right thing on election day.
"We are not where we should be right now. Each vote can make a difference.
"I would like people to please put their trust in us and give us four years to try and change the situation and if you don't trust us after that, if you think we've failed you, by all means you can take the last Government back."

In a clever bit of theater, Senator Ben Sasse introduced a "sense of the Senate" (don't laugh) resolution saying that consideration of membership in the Knights of Columbus was a violation of the prohibition against religious tests in the US Constitution.
Yesterday, the US Senate unanimously passed the resolution.
Having Mazie Hirono publicly repudiate her own conduct was sweet.
It is sad that some US senators view adhering faithfully to your religion as a legitimate cause for disqualifying judicial nominees.
The singling out of Knights of Columbus makes the resolution more of a stunt or an epic troll than any sort of principled act. Amy Coney Barrett, for instance, was not a member of the Knights of Columbus and Sasse's resolution, by pointing to a single group rather than the larger issue, does nothing to make questioning her membership in a lay Catholic religious community off limits.
I don't think that Sasse's effort is going to embarrass or cow into submission a ferocious bigot like Hirono and I've a concern that this resolution trivializes what is happening in the Senate.
In many ways, having Democrat senators openly engage in bigotry was more useful than having them use their imaginations and disguise their bigotry behind sham policy discussions.
We are at that point where evil, tarted up in the shabby robe of tolerance, has decided it is strong enough to destroy Truth. And I don't know that it's wrong. And I don't know that Sasse helped all that much.


Have you ever wondered what the difference is among all those green "broccoli" types? Read on friends. More on these items may be found at wikipedia.
Broccoli: High in vitamin C and usually boiled or steamed. It has gained popularity as a raw vegetable on hor d'oeuvre trays. It's flavor is soft and flowery when eating florets, and can be crunchy when eating stalks. The thinner stalks are great for soup!
Broccoflower: The edible part of the vegetable are the florets. It originated in Holland and has a milder flavor than either broccoli or cauliflower. It looks like a green cauliflower and it is actually a variety of cauliflower. It has a milder and sweeter flavor than other members of its cabbage family kin.
Broccoli Rabe: This plant has spiked leaves that surround a green bud (like a broccoli floret). The flavor is nutty and bitter. Focus on the stems and leaves for eating. It is prepared more like a green leafy vegetable (boil and saute) rather than like broccoli which we typically steam or boil. Due to its bitterness, Broccoli Rabe should always be cooked and not served raw. Cooking suggestion: Boil or simmer slowly over a long period of time with a ham bone until the vegetable is soft and the bitterness is gone.
The feature vegetable of the night is…..
Broccolini: This vegetable closely resembles broccoli with a long stem and small floret. It is a cross between broccoli and a Chinese broccoli (gai lan) or kale. Its flavors are described as sweet with notes of broccoli and asparagus. It is called "baby broccoli" or "aspiration". This vegetable may be sauteed, steamed, stir fried, or boiled. It is very good simply grilled with olive oil, salt and pepper, and sprinkled with lemon. Less is more when cooking this vegetable. It is tender and delicate.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the broccolini and cook about 10 minutes.
Combine the wine (or broth), lemon zest, juice, honey, and ginger in saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to about 1/2. Approx. 8 minutes.
Stir in dill and salt and pepper. Pour over the broccolini and serve.
Eat your vegetables. They are good for you. Try vegetables you've never tried before. There are some WONDERFUL varieties available.
Broccoli is by far my favorite veggie, but I've never tried any of the other varities. I'll definitely be on the lookout for broccolini that looks so delicious!
What a great informative post :0) I do like Broccolini but more I love the way you have cooked it – simply gorgeous!!
Very useful info here! Thanks for clarifying for us!
My favorite way of serving broccoli is stir-fried, in the style of Chinese broccoli-beef (ie., with oyster sauce). Thanks for the info!
I use Broccolini raw in a salad. I trim the very ends then I cut all the rest into bite sized pieces, add with 1/3 cup finely diced red onion, 4 – 5 strips bacon fried crisp and crumbled, 1/2 cup Craisins chopped, and 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, raw or roasted & salted. I use 1/4 cup mayo with 1 TBSP sugar and 1/2 TBSP Rice vinegar mixed well as a dressing. This is soooooooo good.


Sudanese police fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters marching towards the presidential palace in Khartoum on Thursday, as demonstrations demanding President Omar al-Bashir's resignation spread to other cities and towns.
Protesters chanting "Freedom, peace, justice" gathered in central Khartoum and began their march but riot police quickly confronted them with tear gas, witnesses told AFP.
Demonstrations were also held in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, in the provincial town of Gadaref and in the agricultural hub of Atbara, where the first protest broke out in December after a government decision to raise the price of bread.
The protests have since escalated into broader demonstrations against Bashir's three decades of iron-fisted rule that have triggered deadly clashes with the security forces.
Amnesty International said last week that more than 40 people had been killed and more than 1,000 arrested. Human Rights Watch said the dead included children and medical staff.
Ahead of the protests, an AFP journalist saw security personnel, many in plainclothes, stationed across the downtown area of Khartoum and along the expected route of Thursday's march.
Several army vehicles mounted with machineguns were stationed outside the palace.
Little traffic was seen at what is usually the height of the morning rush hour as people stayed off the streets.
The protest movement has been spearheaded by the Sudanese Professionals Association, a trade union representing doctors, teachers and engineers among others, that has stepped into the vacuum created by the arrest of many opposition leaders.
Despite the crackdown, the movement has grown to become the biggest threat to Bashir's rule since he took power in an Islamist-backed military coup in 1989.
The protesters accuse Bashir's government of mismanagement of key sectors of the economy and of pouring funds into a military response Sudan can ill afford to rebellions in the western region of Darfur and in areas near the border with South Sudan.
Sudan has suffered from a chronic shortage of foreign currency since the south broke away in 2011, taking with it the lion's share of oil revenues.
Angry protests flared on December 19 after the government tripled the price of bread.
A defiant Bashir has dismissed calls for his resignation but acknowledged the country faces economic problems for which a slew of reforms were being planned.
The veteran president, 75, has blamed the violence on "conspirators" working against the interests of the country, without identifying them.
Bashir has ordered the police to use "less force" against protesters, but the violence during the demonstrations has drawn international criticism.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on Thursday condemned Sudan's "repressive response" to the anti-government demonstrations.
"I am very concerned about reports of excessive use of force, including live ammunition, by Sudanese state security forces during large-scale demonstrations in various parts of the country since 19 December," she said in a statement.
"A repressive response can only worsen grievances," she warned, calling on Sudan's government to protect the protesters' right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, regardless of their political affiliations.
More than 1,000 people including protesters, journalists, opposition leaders and activists have been arrested in a sweeping crackdown by security agents since the protests erupted.
"I urge the authorities to work to resolve this tense situation through dialogue, and call on all sides to refrain from the use of violence," said the UN rights chief.

Earthbound, Personality, and Game Design
June 2nd, 2013 | EarthBound, Uncommon Knowledge, Videos
A couple readers sent in a link to a new video about EarthBound and how its "personality" plays a big part of its game design. The video is described with:
Earthbound's greatest strength is its personality, something most modern games seem to lack. But, from a game design perspective, "personality" isn't something often considered. How does Earthbound use its charm to benefit its gameplay and story? And how did this quirky RPG gain a cult following unlike so many other games that have come out before or since?
On top of the points the video makes, I feel that the MOTHER/EarthBound games aren't so much about quirkiness as they are about charm and personality – I don't think Itoi was ever like, "Oh man, I am gonna make THE wackiest games ever!" I think this is why a lot of quirky games/whatever that people say take after EarthBound never quite feel "EarthBound-y", you know?
Anyway, if you like game analyses, check out a bunch of other Game Theory videos here!

This guy makes great videos. I've seen everything on his channel and the game theorist channel.
misterdigi said on Jun. 3, 2013
Tomato! Excellent point! I feel that so many reviewers, or folk oustide of the EarthBound community refer to the game as "quirky" or "charming". To me the word quirky sounds like a cop-out to actually describing the game as full, moving, and intense. Actually, there is very little about the game that is "quirky." It plays like a very emotionally charged novel, with many funny, scary, strange, and sad moments.
Shannon Carr said on Jun. 3, 2013
I once saw a Anime on YouTube called 'Earthbound the Movie'. I don't know if it's real but Ness looked really cool. Jeff looked a bit stupid but the rest of the characters were good.
Vukadin said on Jun. 3, 2013
EarthBound isn't 'quirky' – it's very, VERY atmospheric, which is why we all like it. We like the feel of adventure, the 'smiles and tears' if you will. From childhood-like Onett to warm Twoson to creepy Threed: the game is diverse in all of those atmospheric aspects.
This is why the game has a special place in my heart.

Just remember people, the reason Twoson is called "Twoson" is because it wasn't first…lololololol

It's colorful and had a weird not-2d-but-also-not-2.5d perspective. Dialogue was witty and fun. Characters lacked real personality, but the npcs and attitude of the game really made it shine. Basically, it is quirky because of the tendas, going inside your mind to fight your inner demons, going back through time as a robot, talking to pink genitalish genius blobby homer simpson things enslaved by a puddle of barf, zombie paper. Those are quirks. Not personality.

I agree 100% about the personality thing. I've enjoyed "quirky" RPGs since Earthbound. Some I'll return to again and again. However, Earthbound is clearly written from the mind of one very specific quirky fellow who put a lot more than quirk into the game.
Just as it was a mistake for Nintendo of America to market Earthbound as "gross out humor" back in the 90's, it still doesn't quite get the mark to say that Earthbound is "a quirky game". It's more accurate, in that saying the Earth is a perfect sphere is more accurate than saying it is flat, but not QUITE there (Earth isn't a perfect sphere).

I had no idea that you could actually enter that house.

I agree people who haven't played Earthbound are monsters.
