Q: Get LAN IP Address with PHP or JS I'm an IT in a call center and we have a remote online website where every employee has a login. In the call center I have nearly 50 computers behind a Sisco router where all of them reach the outside world with a static public IP address.
There is an agent who got the login credentials of a supervisor.
Now on the remote website I want to get the computer IP on the LAN to identify the agent who is illegally using someone else's credentials.
I have access to everything, the computers in the call center and the remote website.
Now is there a way to get the local IP of the agent (192.168.x.x) using PHP or JS on the remote website. I don't need the public IP which all the call center uses.
NB: Please I have explained the situation in detail so please don't suggest $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

Q: Questions concerning iCloud + core data I have an app on the app store, that uses coredata as storage. I wan't to update the app with iCloud synchronization as new feature. Following apple`s sample code, I managed to have my core data storage synchronize between devices.
However, I'm experiencing problems when either iCloud synchronization is turned off/on in the app on only one of the devices, or when the app is deleted from the device and the reinstalled. In both cases, data is not synchronized back to the device, although it is available just fine on a second device (which was not disabled/reinstalled).
I also found that all storage is effectively erased completely, when I delete the app from all devices, and then reinstall. Althrough I get a couple of merge notifications in the console (even some without errors), I can't see no data in the local storage of the device.
Browsing the mobile documents folders on my mac still reveals lots of transaction logs in the icloud storage of my app.
Even deleting the app from all devices and starting from scratch wont sort things out. I will end up in a situation where data is either only synced to one device, or not synced at all.
I wonder if there is anything I can do about this inconsistent state that is created when only one device is temporarily iCloud disabled, or the app is deleted from ONE device?
As for my code, its an 1:1 copy of the recipces example from apple.

A: Daniel Pasco talked about using Core Data and iCloud together at NSConference 2012. Some notes from that blog post:

launching with -com.apple.coredata.ubiquity.logLevel 3 to get a spamfest in the message log saying what Core Data and iCloud are doing.
The conclusion from this talk appears to be that using Core Data and iCloud are really not ready for each other at this stage.

He posted an updated Core Data Recipes project on Github which may or may not fix your problem.

A: Apple makes it seem easy, but there are a number of nuances with regard to correctly seeding iCloud with data, and what happens afterwards when iCloud support is toggled on and off on different devices.
I implemented a sample project that demonstrates a straightforward way to add iCloud support to Library-style CoreData apps. It's called iCloudStoreManager and it's available on github.
I'm still testing it before I add iCloud support to one of my own production apps. It's working, but I see unexpected errors and delays when an iPad 3 is in the mix. It works, but with long delays.
I've also tested with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the original iPad, and any mix of those devices works well in my experience.

Many people often wonder what the best offensive army or the best combination of units is. Too often, I see people unnecessarily wasting resources and space on military buildings/units that are useless or offer less benefits than others. So here is a walkthrough on what units will help you glide on through the game.
When starting out, it's pretty obvious what units you'll be using. Spearmen are incredibly cheap and can be replaced in 25 seconds, and so they are very dispensable. But because they are melee units, they suffer from retaliation damage. Once you unlock slingers, you should throw in some into your army to decrease the damage/losses you receive. Generally, a good combination is 4 spearmen and 4 slingers. In some cases, 8 slingers is a very good setup, but they are rather weak and so it might not always work out. No more than 2 spearfighter barracks and 2 slinger ranges are really required.
Once you move into the Iron Age, your immediate goal should be to unlock archers. This unit is quite the damage output powerhouse in the early stages of the game. 8 archers in your offensive army is probably all you need to tear through the PvE map and all of your neighbors' defenses. They are capable of defeating units as advanced as the late Early Middle Ages, and can even defeat units from the High Middle Ages in certain cases. And because each archery range takes up 4 squares of space, you can easily fit them into your city. If you don't plan on participating in the Bronze Age tournament, then swap out your barracks and slinger ranges for 4 archery ranges, and this should keep you going until you unlock crossbowmen in the High Middle Ages.
There is probably 1 or 2 fights in the Continent Map that will not be possible with an 8 archer army, in which case long-ranged units will need to join the mix.
For those wishing to participate in the Early Middle Ages tournament, a single mounted archer range is sufficient. Just putting one mounted archer in your army along with 7 archers should be sufficient. For those who don't care much for the Early Middle Ages tournament, this step can be skipped. Mounted archers are incredibly weak, the military building takes up way too much room, and the training time is far too long for them to be considered a viable replacement/enhancement for archers.
Having advocated that short-ranged units are the best possible option in the game, I've come to love long-ranged units for many reasons. They can start firing away at the defending army from the first turn, and they pack quite a punch. The reason why long-ranged units are only recommended from the High and Late Middle Ages is because previous long-ranged units like the catapault and ballista are too weak and the buildings take up a lot of room.
Crossbowmen are a very nice upgrade from archers in terms of increased damage output and a bit more defense. They'll usually get 2-hit like archers, but can sometimes require 3 hits to be taken down. A downside is that they have a range of 5, whereas archers have a range of 6. But, it's a small price to pay. Once you unlock crossbowmen, be sure to sell off your archery ranges and build 3 or 4 crossbow ranges, depending on how frequently you fight. Usually 3 is sufficient.
Once you unlock trebuchets in the late High Middle Ages, you can choose to either stick with just crossbowmen or build 2 trebuchet camps. A combination of crossbowmen and trebuchets is a very good offense, and trebuchets are an excellent defending unit. You can even make things easier on yourself by getting rid of crossbowmen and just sticking with trebuchets. The recommended setup is 3 or 4 trebuchet camps.
You've gotten quite far, and now all the hard work has paid off in the form of these offensive powerhouses.
Longbow archers are absolutely magnificent. They have an incredible range of 7 tiles, and so they can often hit the defending army if the defending units move ahead far enough. They have been beefed up quite a bit compared to crossbowmen, and so they can take a few hits against lower-tiered units and even cannons. Their damage output is very high, and can add the extra punch you need against defending Late Middle Ages units. 3 longbow archer ranges should be sufficient, and later on a 4th range might be necessary when facing neighbors with tougher defenses.
Cannons are a viable replacement for trebuchets, although they have a disadvantage: their range is 2 less than that of a trebuchet. Trebuchets can attack defending units without even moving, but cannons need to move up at least 2 tiles in order to attack defending units that haven't moved. This is really only a problem when it comes to an 8 vs. 8 long-ranged unit battle, and so it's not a big deal. They pack a bit more punch than trebuchets, and can take down Late Middle Ages units a lot better than trebuchets. Replacing trebuchet camps for an equal number of cannon camps is the way to go.
For those interested in competing in both the Late Middle Ages tournament and the High Middle Ages tournament at the same time, keeping about 2 High Middle Ages military buildings should be sufficient enough.
Longbows are going to be the best option to take out some of the earlier Colonial Age provinces, which can be quite tough. Some regions won't be possible without Colonial Age units, but a good chunk of them can be beatable, despite being a challenge.
Compared to Late Middle Age units, Colonial Age units have been beefed up quite a bit. These units are very hardy, including the short-ranged units. They'll require several shots from Late Middle Age units alone, and are formidable against all other lower-tiered units.
The Colonial Age is arguably the first age where there is decent balance between the different unit types. First, I'll introduce each unit, and then I'll talk about strategies.
The first unit you will unlock is the short-ranged unit: musketeers. They have the same range and movement as longbow archers, but they pack an incredible punch and have a boost in defense. These will be the backbone of your Colonial Age army, and fare quite well against most Colonial Age units.
The next unit you will probably unlock is the main infantry unit: rangers. They have the same movement as great sword warriors, but have extremely high damage output. They gain a large defensive bonus in bushes, and are the only units so far with a special ability. Rangers become completely immune to ranged attacks when they stand in forests, and so the only way to ever damage them when they are on a forest is to stand right next to them and attack. Of course, this leads to some retaliation damage, and so it's best to target other units and wait for the rangers to move out of the forest.
The third unit you will probably unlock is the cavalry unit: dragoons. They have the same movement as heavy knights, and have the highest defense in the game. It takes quite some strength to take them down, and since dragoons pack quite a punch themselves, these units are great if you use them, but are formidable if you must defeat them.
The fourth unit you will probably unlock is the infantry-ranged unit: grenadiers. These are a peculiar unit, and are unlike any unit we've seen before. Grenadiers are infantry units, but they use a ranged attack. Their range of attack is 2 tiles, however. Although they have a measly movement of 12 (6 normal tiles), they are tied with dragoons as the unit with the most defense in the game. They also gain defensive bonuses when on normal terrain, and so they are extremely hardy.
The final unit you will unlock is the long-ranged unit: field guns. These are my favorite. They are absolutely magnificent. As with all long-ranged units, the damage output is not nearly as great as the other units, but their advantage lies in the fact that they can attack from the first turn. With an enormous range of 15, this unit is an incredible upgrade from cannons, which have a measly range of 12. They can pack quite a punch, especially in large numbers.
Now that the units have been covered, let's talk about the unit balance. Musketeers are going to be the average unit. They deal a good chunk of damage against grenadiers, rangers, and field guns. Against grenadiers, about 2 to 3 shots are required. Against rangers, 3 to 4 are required. And field guns always require 2 hits to be killed. Rangers are excellent against field guns, great against musketeers, decent against dragoons, and extremely poor against grenadiers. And since grenadiers have a range of 2, you can not count on retaliation damage when the grenadiers attack. However, when rangers attack, grenadiers can retaliate. Dragoons fare fairly well against all units, but are especially great against musketeers due to their speed and defense. Finally, field guns are good against musketeers (3 hits, or sometimes 4), grenadiers (3 to 4 hits, or sometimes 5), and do very poorly against rangers and dragoons.
This knowledge of unit balance can help determine what units to use for offense. Despite the heavily defensive units in this age, the recommendation does not change from previous ages, and the ideal setup is a mix of musketeers and field guns. You will need field guns to help pick off enemy musketeers, and you will need some musketeers to provide the punch that field guns lack against other units. And although this army does not fare too well against an 8-army of rangers or dragoons, all other armies should be manageable with this arrangement.
Rangers are an option if you want to take down lower-tiered defenses. They will take 1 bar or less damage against a trebuchet shot, and so they are useful for taking down 8-trebuchet armies. As for using them on offense, I do not like the idea too much, and as such I have not really tested it out. You'll have to see if you'd like to try them out when observing their defensive power.
Grenadiers are probably the most useless unit in the Colonial Age. They are extremely slow, and can easily be picked off by musketeers and field guns. If you're not going up against an army that has any, then they are quite good. But that's almost never going to be the case.
Dragoons are in the same field as rangers.
Building military buildings/units solely for the purposes of defense is not something I would recommend. Getting plundered is very trivial, and if you time things well, you can avoid having your goods plundered, which is really the only thing that you should worry about. Being plundered a couple of coins or supplies is meaningless in the long run.
Along the way, if you want to minimize the number of attacks on your city or annoy the attackers, there are several defensive options that you can deploy. Remember to place your units in the defending army slot and not the attacking army slot, as that will do nothing for your defense. Defending units do not get killed or lost, and so it's something that you may as well do, unless you are trying to avoid giving PvP players some battle points.
Unfortunately, defensive options are really only available towards the end of the game. Just about every defensive combination before the Late Middle Ages is breakable. And because I have not dealt much with defending, this section of the guide will be very brief.
When you first start out, your defense should just be all spearmen. They have quite a long movement range, and so for new players, 8 spearmen is a tough defense to break through with just Bronze Age units. And even against archers, they can sometimes require 3 or more hits to take down, and so the attacker will most likely take some damage. The goal here is to annoy and deter, not so much successfully defend.
The Iron Age does not offer many good defensive options, and so when defending, you might as well just stick with 8 archers as your defense. It'll at least damage the attacker's units to some extent, and the only way they can avoid any damage is if they use 8 long-ranged units.
Here we get the first defense that is very handy. Mounted archers, though offensively weak, are defensive champs. Due to being cavalry, and the added bonus of being ranged, mounted archers can almost always move and attack on the first turn. Because of this, the attacker's army gets damaged about 99% of the time. This proves to be extremely annoying for the attacker, as they probably cycle through the neighborhood and attack everyone. By damaging many of his/her units, you cut down the number of fresh units he has remaining and make it annoying for the attacker to fight you each time. He/she may reserve you for the final neighborhood fight, or just leave you alone after first seeing your mounted archers.
Mounted archers don't always damage the attacking army because of random terrain configurations. If the attacker gets lucky with a bunch of swamps or forests in the middle of the field, then the mounted archers can't attack on the first turn and get picked off instead. The remedy to this is the 8 trebuchet defense. Trebuchets can attack on the first turn without even moving, and so when you have them in your defense, you know for sure that the attacker is going to lose a couple units. The best possible way to combat an 8 trebuchet defense is to use 8 mounted archers, as the 8 mounted archers can go first and take out 4 trebuchets on the first turn. However, almost no one uses 8 mounted archers as an offense.
In the end, most people have a combination of longbow archers and cannons for their offense. This also proves to be an effective defense, as both units have great damage output and range. A simple defense of 8 longbow archers, or a combination of longbow archers and cannons, should be a very good and annoying defense to go through.
Until this point, all defenses are penetrable. But once you reach great sword warriors and heavy knights, that no longer holds true. With the recent unit buffs and stat changes, great sword warriors are no longer as useless as they were before. Their movement bumped up from 10 to 16, making them able to quickly traverse across the field and get to the attacking army. They have incredibly high defense, and take multiple shots from any ranged or melee unit to take down. Generally, they hold their ground against just about any defense, but the downfall is that if the terrain arrangement is crowded with swamps, rocks, and forests, then this defense can be defeated.
That's where heavy knights come in. Because of their extreme movement range and their high defense, these units are similar in defensive capabilities as the great sword warrior, but don't suffer as much from random terrain generation. It is very hard to take down a single heavy knight with even Late Middle Ages units, and so taking down 8 is just about impossible.
A simple arrangement of 8 of either unit will probably be sufficient to have an impenetrable defense. However, as I have almost no experience with such defenses, I can not guarantee that they are impenetrable. But from what I've seen when attacking players with a couple defending great sword warriors or heavy knights, it does seem to be the case. Only when they go up against Colonial Age units will this defense prove a bit weak, but this is always the case when a defense meets a higher-tiered offense.
With the heavy defense buffs of the Colonial Age units comes the option to create truly impenetrable defenses. Not all are meant to be impenetrable; some can be effective deterrents for lower-tiered attackers. So first we'll start off with the general defenses.
Using 8 musketeers in your defense will probably be the first option you get. And it's not a bad defense at all. Musketeers have good defense and great offense, and will be hard to take down for non-Colonial Age players. However, against other Colonial Age players, it probably won't do too well, since they can be picked off by field guns and don't stand much of a chance against rangers and dragoons.
Another option will be a mix of musketeers and rangers. This can be quite effective, as the rangers can act as the shield for the musketeers, and the musketeers can help protect the rangers from being picked off. I have not really tested this defense, but a mix of field guns and musketeers can probably take it down, albeit heavy casualties.
8 field guns is quite a troll of a defense. This is because of a little-known fact for players that have never seen field guns: they attack before any other long-ranged units. Many players have adopted long-ranged units like trebuchets and cannons into their offense. And what happens when they attack a player defending with field guns is that the field guns will all fire before the trebuchets and cannons. Once the attacker sees this, they will immediately surrender, as they have no chance. However, once the attackers catch on, they'll bring rangers, dragoons, and musketeers into the mix, which will break through.
Now, time for the truly hard to beat defenses. A defense of 8 rangers or 8 dragoons is probably impossible to defeat currently unless you use 8 grenadiers or 8 rangers/dragoons and get very lucky. Even then, the casualties are going to be enormous, and so the attacker will probably never attack again, making this an extremely effective deterrent.
Move in high middle age, I put 8 H.I. (Heavy Infantry) So, try war with 8 Archery and found that H.I. beat archery….Damn. H.I. is very strong enough to kill other all 8 units destroyed.
8x Heavy Knight isn't that hard to beat, all you have to do is 2x GSW and 6x rogues… in fact this army can be used to beat most colonial armies as well.
Let tell you what I found out what I tested, in Early Middle Ages, must put 8 legionnaires and that is too easy beats them out real quick and that is easy zoom winner high counts, LOL!
archer range is now 5, not 6. did developers make change since you wrote this guide, or did you make a mistake? and with a range of 5, are archers still as formidable in your opinion?
Thank you for the brilliant guide. Very helpful indeed.

At the end of September 2018, the commercial court in Russia, as the court of second instance, delivered a spectacular judgment which overruled the validity of an arbitration award delivered by an arbitration tribunal under the International Chamber of Commerce. An attempt was made to appeal against the judgment, but the Russian Supreme Court has now dismissed the case in a way that is considered an approval of the judgment.
The parties were a company from Luxembourg, CMM SA, and the largest contracting company in Russia at that time, Inzhtransstroy.
"All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules".
In 2014, the arbitration tribunal had ordered Inzhtransstroy to pay approx. EUR 3.6 million plus interest. Shortly after, proceedings similar to bankruptcy or restructuring proceedings commenced in Russia against Inzhtransstroy.
These proceedings ended in 2017 with an agreement between the creditors, and - strangely enough - DMM SA was not registered as creditor. Consequently, DMM was not part of the solution to the company's financial problems. Subsequently, DMM tried to get the Russian courts' assistance to enforce the arbitration award.
But the commercial court dismissed DMM's request stating that the arbitration award was contrary to the Russian legal system and that the arbitration tribunal had not had jurisdiction to deliver the award.
The reference to the Russian legal system has formal authority in the convention governing the question concerning international arbitration.
Article V of the convention concerns all the reasons which may result in dismissal of recognition of an arbitration award and enforcement thereof, and one of the reasons is therefore if enforcement will violate the state's "public policy" or "ordre public". The convention's provision has, almost literally, found its way to section 37 of the Danish Arbitration Act.
The Russian commercial court found that enforcement would be a serious threat to the restructured financial basis of Inzhtransstroy and to the full payment of the creditors participating in the solution.
It is difficult to make this reason consistent with the overall narrow scope which has been intended with the provision and which has been applied in case law for decades. Fundamental legal and moral principles must have been infringed - and to trigger an economic burden on a debtor will not normally qualify as doing so. But to this should be added that the details of the case are unknown so it is not possible to make a certain assessment.
The commercial court found that the arbitration tribunal did not have any authority to settle the dispute between DMM and Inzhtransstroy as the arbitration agreement was invalid.
The reason for this view is that the standard clause only provides that the ICC's rules must be applied, but the clause does not state that the International Court of Arbitration should preside. The omission makes the clause so unclear and ambiguous that it cannot be considered validly agreed between the parties.
The arbitration agreement's validity should be settled under Swiss law (as the tribunal was located in Geneva). But what is most important is that the standard clause from the perhaps most important and distinguished institution in the world was rejected.
The judgment is also hard to take seriously in the sense that the clause clearly and unambiguously states that the ICC's rules must be applied, which define and regulate the International Court of Arbitration in Article 1.
But the extent and implications of existing agreements with Russian parties agreeing on this clause are immeasurable.
Several other internationally recognised arbitration institutes' standard clauses are worded in the same way.
However, the Danish Institute of Arbitration's far-sighted wording of the clause is: "Disputes are to be settled by arbitration at the Danish Institute of Arbitration in accordance with its Rules of Procedure, ...".
Companies which are about to conclude agreements involving Russian parties or which have framework agreements concerning current orders should be aware of this new problem.
These companies should therefore take a closer look at the clauses involving Russian parties or involving a risk of enforcement in Russia becoming necessary.
Finally, companies which are already involved in arbitration proceedings with a Russian party should consider the risk of bringing action which will not provide the expected value - under the strains of heavy costs.

EP76: Bridging The Gap Between Hormones & Self Worth With Justine Cecile
Justine Cécile is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner supporting professional women who are struggling with raging hormones, even when they are on hormone therapy.
While working on herself and with clients, Justine discovered that there are three areas in women's health that are largely ignored; hormonal health as a whole, gut health and how our mind works with our biology.
Realizing that we are each responsible for our own health, Justine Cécile brings her personal experience, education and resources together to guide and mentor women to regain control of their health and happiness.
In addition, to analyzing lab diagnostics and supporting corrective care with targeted supplement protocols, Justine Cécile has developed a systematic approach to coaching based on her philosophy that the reality of an individual's health and happiness is designed by them, not built by them alone and five principles that supports the individual's ability to know themselves and develop their own systems for achieving both health and happiness with a true sense of freedom.
Justine Cécile has spent the last 18 years mastering how to get in-tune with the body, learning how to uncover what the subconscious wants and desires and how to influence environments to improve our experience with life.
Prior to championing women's health, she served in the military and worked with refugees, was a university professor, a programmer and managed software development and now has branched out to support women who have put themselves last for most of their lives.
Her personal experience with a chronic illness that is poorly understood and her strengths of being able to connect the dots, to communicate complex issues with simplicity and to sincerely connect with others has led her to the path she is on today.

EP58: How I Healed My Midlife Crisis With Christopher Ryan
Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think.
Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House, and the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing, and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films.
Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his wife, Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York's Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians translate and publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to return to school to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA.

How to Heal Your Metabolism: Learn How the Right Foods, Sleep, the Right Amount of Exercise, and Happiness Can Increase Your Metabolic Rate and Help Heal Your Broken Metabolism
By Kate Deering
In this episode...
Kate Deering is back on our show for a second time. We're so honored to have her on to talk about how you can raise your metabolism by changing your beliefs and by focusing on what you really want. So many times we sabotage ourselves because of beliefs we picked up from diet dogmas, society and our parents.
Since our brains are programed for weight loss, we can forget about what really matters most when it comes to our quality of life and overall health. It can be scary for most people to completely change the way they eat so that's why it's crucial to connect with your purpose behind the change and habit so that you're better able to make a longer lasting more sustainable change.
Kate explains how this all leads back to raising your metabolism ultimately because you're lowering your stress and supporting your body's recovery system. Kate shares with us the best way to get your mind on track with your body for metabolic success.

Insufficient, inaccurate or poor product information or images can be one of the most common reasons why customers don't end up adding a product to their shopping basket. As we saw in our article about the Conversion Funnel increasing the percentage of customers that add a product to your basket can have a significant impact on your conversion rates.
So its important to make sure that your product information is as good as it can be. Some small changes can have a massive impact on conversion rates.
Poor product images is a killer. Its true that for some types of products/business the images you display aren't that important (for example if you are selling screwdrivers to trade) but most of our customers have visual products. Don't forget that all of us 'buy with our eyes' so poor product images will lead to fewer sales and a failing (or failed) ecommerce business.
Social proof is a new term for testimonials or product reviews.
Having reviews on your product pages from real customers who have bought and used the product (or including testimonials from your customers describing how great your shipping times are or how excellent your customer service is) provides the 'proof' to your customers that other people have bought your products and are using them.
What can you do? Well if you don't already have product reviews enabled on your account we'd recommend that you do.
You should then create a new order status of 'completed' or similarly worded which also has an automatic email configured. The content of this email, when sent to the customer, will then invite the customer to leave a review for their purchases.
Product videos can also be a great way to demonstrate your products to your customers. A lot of the time you will find videos for your products on YouTube or similar sites, so you won't have to record your own, or you could contact your suppliers and ask them if they have any.
We realise that not everyone's comfortable in front of the camera - or has the budget to get a professional video created - but product videos can be an excellent selling tool.


Washburn guitars deserve Washburn cases. The Dreadnought Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Case is made to fit perfectly the Washburn models listed below.
Fits Washburn models: WD5SB, WD5SCEB, WD7SATB, WD7SACS, WD7SCEATB, WD7SCEACS, WD10, WD10CE, WD10FSB, WD10FCESB, WD10FCESB, WD11S, WD10SLH, WD10SCE, WD11SCE, WD10SCELH, WD20S, WD21S, WD20SCE, WD21SCE, WD30S, WD30SCE, WD40S, WD40S, WD15S, WD16S, WD16S, WD16SCE, WD25S, WD26S, WD25SCE, WD26SCE, WD26SCE, WD35SCE, WD45S, WD45SCE, WD55S, WD55SCE, WD140MCIQ, WD150CIQ, WD150CIQ, WD025S, WD025SCE, WG065S, WD150SW, WD150SWCE, WD160SW, WD160SWCE, WD170SW, WD170SWCE, WD750SW, WD750SWCE, WD760SW, WD760SWCE, WCD18, and WCD18CE.
I got this Washburn case at the same time as I bought the Washburn guitar. The case does not fit like a glove. There is a little space around the body of the guitar. I don't like my guitar to be able to move in a hard case. But, it can. Even if it is only 3/4 of an inch. However, the case is strong, great looking and will protect the guitar. I would recommend this as long as you know your guitar may not fit like a glove.
This case was purchased to protect a guitar traveling to a high school every day. It is solid, sturdy, and the distinctive Washburn logo and brown color make this case distinctive enough to stand out in a mountain of black generic guitar cases, and also deters would-be thieves who would be much more obvious if they were to walk away with this case. It fit the Washburn guitar perfectly, is high-quality and the only downside is that it's extremely heavy, but otherwise we couldn't be happier.
.I have two Washburn acoustics (both basically the same model) and this case didn't fit them well. There was too much room around the guitar - at least half an inch on all sides - and I couldn't even close the top of the case w/o damaging the guitar. I don't know if the case is too shallow or the pad on the inside of the top of the case is too thick, but it definitely didn't work. And my guitars are among the model #s listed as being compatible. The quality of the case was OK - the padding was sufficient (if it wasn't too loose for your guitar), but the wood was a bit thin. It would definitely be better than a gig bag, but I wouldn't check it as luggage when flying.
.I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this case. I take my guitar with me a lot of places I go. I won't have to worry about it not being protected.
.Just bought the case for my WDSCE10. Guitar fits nice. I am a semi professional so the guitar is out on gigs. Offers more protection than a gig bag.Good selling point to have the manufacturer's case with their guitar. Not bad for the price. If you are a working player, your cases are to protect your guitars and they will get banged around.I have forty year old guitar cases that are really beat up but they still do the job. This case is functional, I don't need bells and whistles. I like my Washburn but it's not like it's a $3000 guitar.
.I have several of these cases from years past and this one is lacking the care in production. The interior is not neatly assembled and the interior storage compartment lid does not close well. I would send it back if there was any other issues but I will live with what it is. Production quality control is just not there anymore. Used to be a well made case. NOT a Custom Guitar's Friend issue. Enough said.
.Basically this is a pretty good case for the money. It holds my WD25S nice and snug. My inside compartment has one stripped screw hole(loose screw) in a cross board I'll have to see if I can fix. The inside in plush and the outside is very attractive with the Washburn logo on it. Only time will tell how well it will hold up.
.I was unlucky and notice that one of the bolts on one of the hinges were not all the way in that . It was an easy fix, but then I notice it one of the locks would randomly fly open when I would pick up my guitar which means they don't lock very tightly. My guitar would hit the side of the case pretty hard. Not very happy probably and will return to get a new one.
.The cases do not fit the guitars well. There is a 1/2 gap around the guitar. Appears cheap. I just purchased a Washburn WJ45SCE but I'm going to order an Epiphone case for it.
.Nice to have a Washburn case for my old trusty D10!!


That was fun. Old jitter bugs going into it counts. If you're going and a training camp but now is this is excited probably you more than my first one just because it has been that long and it's nice to nice to be here a 100% healthy. I was unfortunate lecture series eventually but you know it's it's in the past and we forward and upward those in the more open. I was excited I mean. Guys an incredible towns. As you as we all know by this point. And you know his of those guys that's been pushed me in making a lot better player and an ominous turn you know I hope along with the North American game talking with my music and a to hold you know has developed his game on both injury but it. I. I a minute I've listened a couple obviously islets that are faster than sweater and whatnot but you can see the the town that it hasn't. You know just with Oliver are Decourt this year you know not even the sixer player inadequate you know you go 789 deep. You know every single guy can be flown at one another and can contribute and and skated. And that's something that we liked in the past and it's really exciting that we have that at this year's you know the question not only not only all of us internally. But you know appoint judges were down that you know there's there's another veteran ups can separate and contribute head. I'm gonna hit had been lingering for a couple years and you know it does have a decision at the point where broke my thumb so it's. It's kind of like every helmet come in and come back for ten games but then maybe not during for training camp this kind of you know weighs the pros and cons and you know. Ultimately FO lake it was real solid it was the right decision to be 300% return him rather than try to get back for. The right side before or was there any advance notice going into the offseason you should focus on the outside and if so what do you do. To be ready to play moron outside. I think of over the summary view your work and your skills not only an upset but rates and you know proper fuels whether via a neutral zone read groups. Often wanna work. The luckiest that I have played in the so it's it's not a unfamiliar territory with me it's just getting reps at this point to be comfortable with the yeah. I think we're we're both very good skaters and gave it up and on the eyes and you know he's he's very good at both ends obviously is. There's talent than with the puck on the stick to something that's. But highly touted but I think his his defense plays very underrated in his integrates that he was the body. You know with his skiing ability to defend really well too so I think not just. The familiarity of of comfort level of you know getting reps with each other and it goes long floral deeper you know the more reps have with each other more you talk to each other than more comfortable and the other the other. I think. Like I said earlier it's not even distressed and it's it's it's the fact that we've we've brought and other guys know warrants and and schools and Nelson you know you you go to on the list that. In others there's not just six guys competing for. 89 guys and no it just pushes ever going to be better and rest it's obvious is this you know the blue chip guy coming in their rooms look at him but. You know he's Hitler in North American game two and his push never be better and that's just discrete organization to have internal compass. Yes. It. Have I mean I hated playing instance is. He's obviously not not the biggest rabbit is a lot like Sammy in the in the sense that he's he's gonna run. And he makes you paid in and he competes like it's the sort of arbitrarily so it's that it's it's great to have him in the boom will announce that I have to. We've just offered them go to Carolina its achievements and this year's if it can't fill it in the season's you know guys need to be ready to be tree a top trained to get the sense that tone set. On day one. With a lot of us have been here for a couple weeks now and it's just been that seems like governments kind of on the same wave like at this point and never has the minds that if you know enough is enough and it excitement in the building in. I think you look at that in it was all month for but it was my temple high pace. Guys are going up on the ice competing and it's not only counts for us with him and he won it and you know you're knocking off the Russell Clinton. And gash or great efforts there that's a good start revelatory here.

The singing, the costumes, the craziness — new nine-DVD set 'The Best of Cher' has it all
Want to watch Cher sing a certified disco classic with Elton John and Bette Midler while wearing sequins, sparkles and silver bubbles? Do you still own a DVD player? Well, you're in luck.
Time Life has put together a massive DVD box set called The Best of Cher, featuring nine discs full of all the things that we love about Cher: Her music, her knack for comedy, her showmanship and, of course, her unbelievable wardrobe.
The set, due out September 15, has two volumes. Volume One features 10 episodes of Cher, the variety show CBS gave her after she and Sonny Bono split up. Available for the first time in 10 years, they include comedy sketches, musical performances and guest appearances by everybody from Elton John to The Muppets to Raquel Welch.
Also included: New interviews with Cher; her friend Lily Tomlin; designer Bob Mackie, who created her fabulous costumes; and George Schlatter, executive producer of Cher.
A new featurette called Cher: Then & Now and her TV appearances on The Dick Cavett Show and Dinah round out Volume One.
Volume Two includes both of Cher's 1970s TV specials: 1978's Cher…Special and 1979's Cher…and Other Fantasies. There's also two of her concerts in Las Vegas — one filmed in 1991 at the Mirage, and one filmed in 1999 at the MGM Grand — plus home movies and rehearsal footage.
A full-length documentary called Dear Mom, Love Cher and a 2018 appearance on The Late, Late Show with James Corden complete Volume Two.
On top of that, you get a collectible look book of Mackie's original wardrobe sketches for the star.
"I love looking back at these shows. They're so much fun to watch and they were so much fun to make," Cher says in a new interview.

Ex-49er Ronnie Lott stars in Fresno business forum
September 1, 2013 | | By: The Fresno Bee
Former San Francisco 49ers defensive back Ronnie Lott believes the lessons he learned during a Hall of Fame playing career have served him well during his post-football career as a successful entrepreneur.
Lott will share those insights Tuesday, when he delivers the keynote remarks for the Central Valley Venture Forum, a conference for businesses and investors at the Save Mart Center. Lott's speech is slated for 10:30 a.m.
"It's understanding that you've got to compete," Lott said in a telephone interview. "When you think of competing — whether it's Joe Montana competing to win a game or my competing to make an interception or a big hit, that spirit of competition is trying to do the best you can do."
Not that business is necessarily a matter of tearing into a running back or wide receiver. But, Lott said, being an entrepreneur requires the same kind of toughness and courage as playing football at the highest level.
"The way I played, the way I hit, I've seen a lot of entrepreneurs who were just as demonstrative, just as talented and just as aggressive," he said.
Lott, who now owns several automobile dealerships and manages a multibillion-dollar portfolio of private-equity investments, is the headline attraction in a daylong program that includes panels on female business leaders, the growth of Hispanic businesses and how small businesses can attract investment capital. Economist Jeffrey Michael, director of the Business Forecasting Center at Stockton's University of the Pacific, is the luncheon speaker for the conference.
The event is organized by California State University, Fresno's Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Central Valley Fund, a venture capital investment fund for small and midsized businesses.
Lott wasn't always interested in business. "For me to sit here and believe that the first 15 formative years of my life was thinking about running businesses, no," he said. "It was about trying to play a role in winning football games."
But the entrepreneurial bug bit him early in his pro football career. "I had my share of endeavors from the time I signed my first contract with the 49ers and throughout my career," he said. "It's in my DNA to be an entrepreneur."
The common ground between success in football and success in business is the quality of teammates, Lott said. "Everything I've done has led me to partnering with great teammates," he said. "On the entrepreneurial side, I always try to partner with real good people."
But like football, business offers its hits and misses. "Sometimes it works out with teams, and sometimes it does not work out," he acknowledged. "Whether it's finding a great wife, or working with a great quarterback, inherent to having a chance to work with great people is the pursuit of being around people who are interested in enhancing their life and enhancing their endeavors."
Failure, Lott added, offers its own lessons. "You have to have a willingness to fail. How many tackles did I miss?" he said. "The beauty of life is that you're never going to be 100% right. It's the person who decides to get in the arena, the person who sees an opportunity."
"A lot of times, it's easy to throw in the towel. I know a number of great business people who were on the brink of disaster, but they found a way to weather the storm and continue to play."
If there's one thing Lott said he hopes his audience gets from his talk, "it's that you've got to exhaust every opportunity."
"The greatest players leave everything on the field," he said. "At the end of the day, they're not measured on the quantity of money in their contract, but that they left everything on the field."
Whether in sports or in business, Lott added, "what a great quality to have."

Patois or Spanish? Holness Supports Making Spanish the Second Language of Jamaica
On a recent visit with Raul Castro, president of Cuba at the Seventh Summit of the Association of Caribbean States, Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced his plan to take "the bold step" of making Spanish the second language in Jamaica. Holness said he favors making the study of the Spanish language compulsory in the schools. In addition to exploring initiatives for more language training, Holness and Castro discussed a number of other issues during their meeting, including the creation of stronger cooperation between the two countries in regard to music and other creative industries.
