I like the change (done in the last day or two I think) where clicking "Change Image" on your profile page will now display the avatar selections in a 'popup' window instead of directing to an entirely different page to select an avatar.
Just thought I would mention that the change was noticed and that I do like it.
It's always done that pop-up page for me, since the launch of these forums. I would rather the full page, which is only accessible through the gear/Preferences.
Would like a change to the notifications system. Whenever I bookmark a thread, or set to get notification for threads I've posted in etc, it bombards me with 1 notification per post. So a single thread going active can often leave you with 50+ notifications, basically removing the purpose of the notification in the first place.
Change to 1 notification per thread, period. Link to the first post or first quote etc.
Can I make a feature request?
How about a no-bump option?
Sometimes I feel the urge to respond to old topics, but this will inadvertently put them back to first page's the top position. If there was a checkbox that allowed users to post without bumping, we could post without needlessly irritating other users.
The moderators could also get the option to disable bumping on a per thread basis, with the condition that the thread has reached a certain age threshold.
The option to dismiss sticky threads, or announcements as they are called with Vanilla Forum, seems to have been removed recently or maybe it is a bug. Before there was a gear icon by sticky threads that would allow the forum member to dismiss it. What this did was remove it as a sticky and it only showed back up as a normal thread if more posts were made in it. I liked this feature as it allowed me to reduce sticky thread clutter on the forum once I had read the sticky. This was much better than the old forum that didn't have that option. So I hope it is a bug and the feature will return.
For those that may not know what I'm talking about here is the feature from Vanilla Forum which is the software Anet now uses.
Return the thumbs down. People should notice when they post something that isn't appreciated. As of now this is one of the only forums I know where it got removed be cause people could get 'hurt' if someone disagrees. People have to learn that they aren't on the same page with everyone else. It's just natural and anet is so adamant to keep this illusion up which ultimately hurts a community.
We've answered this many, many times. We will not be returning the Thumbs Down. Do be aware, however, that we did not remove it because it caused "hurt feelings" or because we wanted to maintain some sort of "illusion." The Thumbs Down proved to have a negative impact on the community, particularly (as I've expressed before), our non-English community. After reviewing the situation and discussing as a team, we determined that the removal was in the best interests of the community that we serve.
I totally do understand the desire for a thumbs down. It's fast, it's easy, and it can clearly express one's disagreement with the contents of a forum post. Heck, just yesterday I thought to myself "Boy, I sure wish I could just Thumbs Down this!" because I wanted to show that I disagreed with someone's statement but didn't want to have to respond to it. Yet the point is, the Thumbs Down wasn't just being used to disagree with an opinion, it was being used to be disagreeable to other members.
It's gone. It's not coming back. And I hope these comments help explain why, even if you disagree with the decision.
Agree with gaile, the main reason is in Bold.
I like the feature, too, but we learned that there was no ability to UNdismiss a thread, and that led to a few messes where someone believed a thread was gone, when it fact it was simply one that they had dismissed (and were not able to bring back). This also caused problems on the moderation front. Therefore, we had to disable "Dismiss" until Vanilla implements an "UN-Dismiss" feature. We forwarded the conundrum to Vanilla and I hope that they will implement the full Dismiss/Undismiss feature soon.
Return the thumbs down. People should notice when they post something that isn't appreciated.
As someone that was posting in favour for removal of thumbs down since the new forums were mandatory, I am strictly against that still.
Who is the thought police that decides what is appreciated? You? Me?
I am often on the unpopluar opinion side of a fence. But that does not mean my posts are less worth.
Also, there is a strange dynamics coming with that, where people are forced to quit a discussion/not joining them in order to keep their name in a good shape (something I do not really care about). So they do not post in a thread because it has -26 votes. But how to get "lively discussions" (front page quote) if you just do that?
There is a reason downvoting on Disqus, Quora or Youtube/Google does nothing, and these huge companies have thinktanks - they know why and can far better explain that stuff than I could.
A discussion ist mostly stalled when it turns into a quizz game: _Post 1, 2 or 3 to upvote? _You will get no discussion or exchange of opinions if you basically encourage people to like the opinion/post that vaguely goes into the direction. But why do you think X? Why would you do Z?
Even the current thumbs up vote casting is awful in many ways. In a certain thread were the two (condescending and close-to-be-reportable) posts had 15 upvotes. It was literally a famous guy of the boards saying "No, you are wrong" and a bunch of invisible supporters that never actually reason their own thoughts are behind him. As OP, this is the worst case, it's as bad as asking closed questions (that can be answered with "YES" or "NO". Avoid these if you want a conversation).
People, I am also slightly guilty, pick comments based on their likes - and skip the blank ones. But why? This reddit nonsense of pre-sorting by popularity (and not by content) is again a killer of any discussion.
I'd also like to remove the thumbs up button. It can be shown in the profile (somehow I managed to get 850?!) but under the posts, there should not be an explicite number displayed. Maybe just the thumb getting more and more green. So the first upvotes do nothing to it (threshold of 5) and then it starts to get coloured. Because 1 upvote vs 0 upvote is still a tendency - but a too small sample to say opinion 1 is the right one.
Thanks Gaile for letting us know what is going on with the dismiss feature. I thought maybe it was a bug since it suddenly disappeared. Hopefully Vanilla will find a way to make the feature work again without causing confusion or problems for moderators. If I may, in the future if a forum feature is disabled/limited for whatever reason, or even if a new feature is added, I think we would appreciate that being mentioned as an update. Thanks again.
While it would be nice to have "update notes" for the forums, sometimes changes that we request get rolled in months later, so it's not always easy for us to state categorically what did or did not roll out on a given day, especially as the forums mature (we're heading into our one-year anniversary!) and fewer changes are needed. We get the chance to test changes, of course, but the test pass and the implementation may have a large delta.
I'll try to answer questions from time to time, when I can and when they are posed. But I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide "build notes" for a product that is not our own. After all, we're just sorta renting this.
I appreciate your input. Changing to a graduated color would be a costly change -- in fact it may not be something that Vanilla could implement, no matter how much we might offer to pay.
At this point, Thumbs Up is a "use if you like / ignore if you wish" feature that seems, to my eye and based on general feedback, to be relatively benign and in some cases useful to noting a particular comment or thread. For instance, if someone makes a suggestion that gets a gazillion thumbs up, that's worth seeing!
I guess I was trying to say it would have been nice in this case if someone posted, "Hey folks, we have decided to remove the dismiss sticky thread feature for now due to 'x' reasons," since it was a decision the forum team seems to have made and not really related to future forum features that might be rolled out later. Instead it just seemed it was of sort of stealth removed. In the future, I think if there is a feature added or removed on the Anet side a quick note about it would be appreciated. I know you are very busy. That's the last I will comment on this. Thanks again for your time.
Gaile - In the cookie jar topic you mentioned you were using it as an experiment on how we reacted to an off-topic post. I didn't reply or report it, but for me that was more to do with how vague the original post was, I wasn't sure how to take it and therefore didn't know what to say. But I did want to share some thoughts on the experiment.
Maybe there could be a middle ground somewhere? Like allowing us to discuss other games or allowing topics which blur the lines between GW2 discussion and real-life to continue down whatever path they take (within reason). I don't know exactly, but I do know that if I'd seen an off-topic discussion that wasn't quite so random allowed to continue I would have enjoyed participating in it.
Please ask Vanilla for a 'Report' PM feature. It would be nice if one did not have to create an email to report an inappropriate PM.
The mobile version sorta has a problem with distinguishing links from regular ol' text.
Is it me or the underline is not aligned for double-line text?
I was going to ask if it was just me, as well. Forums borked, again. Sigh.
There are definitely odd lines cutting through the thread titles today. I thought it was an artifact of my tablet in Chrome, but it's doing it on my PC in FireFox too.
Why is the Carousel down to only two 'dots' today? For anyone that didn't happen to be on the forums yesterday, or earlier today, they miss all the recent Dev posts (from Aug. AFC, and elsewhere). Sigh.
And now the Carousel is down to only 3 Dev posts. Something is really amiss.
The thread in the Bugs forums about the lines has a cure: while on the page that has the errant lines, press ctrl-F5. It worked for me, the lines are gone.
No idea how I'll do that on my tablet, though. I'll look into the side menu options I guess.
Ctrl-F5 did not work for me, but clearing the cache through Options did. Yes, I refreshed the page a few times, just in case.
Line Oddities: I believe that the oddities with the break lines and other visual elements are now cleared up. I did have to clear cache on one browser, but not on the other, in order to see things back to normal. I've no idea what caused it, but in any case, the visual presentation should be coming through properly now.
Carousel/Dev Tracker: In other news, I'm continuing a lengthy discussion with Vanilla on our "Latest ArenaNet Posts" Carousel and our Dev Tracker. I know what we want, and I've spent many, many words walking them through the desired (and logical) design with precision and passion. Because yes, I'm very eager to get this right and I know our forum members are, too. It seems, from an e-mail yesterday, that Vanilla has asked one of their top people to look into the whole system. Ultimately, I sense that what we have had them custom-design for us is a starting point for their implementation of a better system on a broader scale -- and that's very cheering to hear, even if the timeline is unclear and will likely be lengthy.
As a means of helping the process, I've offered to have a telephone conversation, a meeting, or to send a lengthy (ok, lengthier ) e-mail or document on the subject. If there's more news on this, I'll let you know. In the meantime, thank you for your continued reports on forum issues, your well-thought feedback, and your suggestions.
i dread to even write anything in this new forum. if you are not into markdowns its hell of work to find out how to post simple things like an image, underline font, fontsize etc.
can hardly find any guide that is not already sunken to deep in the web. it takes hours to find what im looking for.
it costs to much of creative freedom for your blank white design which hurts the eyes with its brightness.
2 - please let us disable smilies in our own posts like we've had in the past.
I was literally JUST about to make a most exactly like this. Please let us delete our own posts and please let us delete the polls entirely so we can't skew results.
Make a block system. Too many keyboard warriors want to cause drama and "oh i know everything, this and that!..!!" smartypants in this forums.
Also, to make us delete our own posts/comments.
If there's a block then the person won't be able to see the blocked person saying "They DID do that" and be able to post the quote showing they are wrong.
Each time you speak up in the forums, you're not just talking to your friends but in front of the whole class. If you blurt out something silly in front of everyone, the backrow where the bullies hang out, is going to start giggling at you.
Or, to put it another way, if someone says something that is false then they should accept in good grace a post showing their error. It's not to the advantage of a discussion forum for the person who posting wrong information to either be invisible to someone who knows the correct answer or to be unable to see the correction and to continue to post the false and already corrected information, which is why blocking on the forum isn't a reasonable request.
How about an ignore function then, when you can still see the post if you want? The forum is surviving on the fact people can flame and can't be blocked and so keep doing it.
When I've used forums that did allow you to block/hide other posters I just found it annoying. I used it occasionally but it just made it impossible to follow any topic they were posting in because everyone else was seeing and responding to posts I couldn't see. Which in turn made me look like an idiot because I'd reply having only seen part of the conversation and therefore completely misunderstanding what they were talking about. It's like trying to join in when someone else is on the phone and you can't hear the person they're talking to. I always unblocked people again within a day and went back to just skimming over their posts if I wasn't in the mood for dealing with it.
If someone's flaming other people they should be reported, not just blocked.
I would prefer an option to not see posts which would be my choice. You or others don't need to use it.

Home/USA/Joe Biden's dilemma to try to lower gas prices
Joe Biden's dilemma to try to lower gas prices
Admin November 15, 2021	USA Leave a comment 15 Views
Oil sustained its longest streak of weekly losses since March as President Joe Biden kept investors guessing if he will take steps to control prices that have helped fuel a surge in US inflation, hurting consumers.
Biden is evaluating measures including the release of oil from the country's strategic reserves to try to lower the cost of gasoline at the pump, which has reached a seven-year high.
Read also: Inflation, the ghost behind the economy in the United States
For several weeks, a small group of his top advisers have discussed possible measures, according to people familiar with the matter. Consensus has been elusive, as some Energy Department officials oppose tapping into strategic reserves, while White House advisers push for a release, or even to halt U.S. crude exports. .
Oil has risen this year as consumption recovers from the impact of the pandemic, contributing to the fastest consumer price inflation in the US in three decades. Faced with mounting political pressure to act, Biden is weighing his intervention options despite the Energy Information Administration targeting weaker balances next year.
The gas price challenge Biden faces is particularly evident in California, the state where drivers typically pay more for fuel than anywhere else in the U.S. Retail prices now average $ 4.65 per year. gallon, just 2 cents less than the record set in 2012, according to AAA data.
Oil prices fell on Friday on rumors of the use of strategic reserves in the United States to lower crude.
A barrel of Brent from the North Sea for January delivery lost 0.92% to US $ 82.17 in London on Thursday's close.
Meanwhile in New York, a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for December lost 0.98% to US $ 80.79.
Likewise, this week OPEC also revised down its estimate of growth in oil demand for this year.
The danger of dipping into reserves
Drawing on strategic oil reserves is an alternative that resonates strongly in the United States to lower crude prices, with a president on the defensive with inflation driven by the cost of gasoline.
However, in the midst of a commitment to climate change, the White House is weighing this rarely used strategy whose impact on the price of fuel at gas stations would be, at least, provisional.
The United States created its strategic reserves in 1975 to face oil shocks. It keeps them in huge underground deposits some 800 meters deep along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, capped at 714 million barrels (mb).
Currently, the level of these stocks scales to 609 mb, according to the Department of Energy, something like six months of crude consumption in the country.
About 60 sunken reservoirs in a salt layer are distributed in four highly monitored sites in Louisiana and Texas.
Read also: Coffee reached its highest level ever: why is it bittersweet news?
It takes about 12 days after the president's decision for that oil to be refined and fit for sale. It can be used to meet domestic demand or be exported.
The law gives the US president the prerogative to use up to 30 million barrels in 60 days or more "in the event of serious power outages."
In 1991 George H. W Bush ordered to use about 17 mb during the first Gulf War.
In 2005, his son George W. Bush ordered 11 mb to the market after Hurricane Katrina that devastated Louisiana and its oil structures.
In 2011, Barack Obama released 30 mb to supply oil from Libya.
On the contrary, in 2011, after the September 11 attacks, Bush Jr. ordered the reservoirs to be filled to the top.
Dumping these reserves into the market to lower prices could have a limited, short-term effect, estimates John Kilduff, oil market analyst at Again Capital.
"To be effective, it is necessary that the amount of reserves used is important and that there is a coordinated effort" with other countries, he stressed.
Climate change dilemma
In times of emissions reduction speeches, drawing heavily on these reserves can arouse criticism.
"It would be counterproductive in terms of the image on climate change," recently highlighted an editorial in The Washington Post. "It is certainly a contradiction" for the Joe Biden government, Kilduff noted on his side.

"Leaders in the fight against climate change are in favor of high oil prices to allow renewables to be more competitive," added the analyst.
But for Biden, inflation – the highest in three decades at 6.2% in 12 months to October and heavily pressured by energy prices – could be political poison.
Fighting the price increase became imperative for the White House.
"These (price) increases affect the popularity of the president," says Kilduff.
The average price of a gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline rose to $ 3.41 from $ 2.12 a year ago, according to the AAA motorists association.
This level, still acceptable to drivers, becomes problematic starting at $ 4 a gallon, according to experts.
"It is a breaking point. They then spend US $ 100 to fill the tank of an SUV. That captures the attention of motorists and undermines consumer confidence, and slows the economy, "warns John Kilduff, who recalls that all recessions in the United States were preceded by a rise in oil prices.

'Sober Bar' And Coffee Shop Opens In Ontario To Help Those Struggling
Personal Addiction Recovery Stories
City And Lifestyle
Hugging the Detroit River lies the quaint and bustling city of Windsor, Ontario. As the southernmost city in Canada, Windsor is known as the "Automotive Capital of Canada." And, as the epidemic of the opioid crisis has plagued America, it knows no borders and has included small towns like Windsor in its catastrophic path.
However, just a couple of blocks from the waterfront, lies "Spiritual Soldiers Coffee Compound" – which isn't your ordinary coffee house.
Coffee Shop By Day, Sober Bar By Night
Coffee shop by day, and coined, "sober bar" by night, "Spiritual Soldiers" is a hidden gem where those struggling can share hope, a cup of coffee, and camaraderie with others that have struggled with addiction.
"Normal coffee shops have acoustic music, people on laptops, and nobody really talking with each other. We wanted something where we could integrate the community and create an atmosphere for those in recovery as well as help those struggling," explained Spiritual Soldiers owner, Mike Brown.
Mike struggled with addiction for twenty years.
"It started with alcohol and moved to crack cocaine. I ended up in a number of cities and at the end overdosed on cocaine. I truly believe there's a big difference between I need help and I want help," he went on. "I knew I needed help for a long time, but this last time I was emotionally and spiritually bankrupt."
That's when Mike landed in Windsor three years ago at a recovery home owning nothing but the clothes on his back and a hockey bag.
"I was there for ninety days, and the rules were plain and simple: ask, listen, and do what you're told." He went on, "we didn't talk about drugs or alcohol. We talked about self-will, fear, self-pity, and perseverance."
And persevere, he did. After Brown left the recovery home and attained sobriety, he took what he learned from program and found a way to give back.
Spiritual Soldiers
Noting that the wreckage of his past was now his greatest asset, Mike researched and sought a way to do what he could to help others like himself.
"I'm not a doctor or a counselor, but I know what it's like to wake up in the grips of an addiction, and what it's like to get out of it. I also know how hard it is some days to get to the point of recovery where you're starting to find some peace in your life – that's what I wanted to share with people," he explained, "but I also wanted to come up with something more tangible where others' stories were involved."
Windsor News
From there, Mike and his friends came up with the concept, "Spiritual Solders, and created "clothing with a cause," donating the proceeds of the sales back to the recovery home that he lived at.
"As we say, addiction is a war and it takes soldiers to win. We started with a hat and a tank top and went down to the waterfront on the Detroit River and stopped people and talked to them about what we were doing," he explained.
However, what started with the initial clothing items, were nothing compared to what Mike and his friends in recovery could have ever dreamed the next year would have in store.
On their own journeys to recovery, Mike crossed paths with Bianca Oliverio and James Lucier and came up with the idea of a coffee shop one summer floating in James's pool.
"My friends and I spent an entire summer together and had an amazing time. One afternoon we were thinking, 'imagine we had a place where everyone could come and share this positive atmosphere with people – sober."
And then, they put the two and two together:
"In recovery, when we meet someone that needs help, we sit down for coffee. So that was it."
Prohibition Saturdays
Spiritual Soldiers Coffee Compound opened in June. The company is fully self-supporting through the sales of their coffee and clothing, and each month they take 10% of their clothing profits and donate it back to a local charity – and so far, the response has been substantial.
"Anybody is welcome. We have our clothing, coffee, and all sorts of specialty drinks we come up with. We also have a 'mocktail' list so people can still drink funky drinks with no alcohol in them."
Recently having themed holiday parties and launching, "Prohibition Saturdays," Mike and his team bring in a DJ every Saturday night.
"We have a blast, people dance on tables, and they're all sober, just having a fun time with one another," Mike said.
But while the themed parties and Saturday nights are about having a good time in recovery, there's also the flip side of people who come into the store in desperate need, and Mike and his team are certain they're not going to let anything get in the way of helping someone.
"There are people who have come in who are strung out and struggling, and we've gone as far as closing the shop down to take someone to the hospital. Sometimes we see people through the whole recovery process. We watch them get into a recovery home and then get out, and then they come in for coffee. Our average customer isn't just, 'can I get a latte and leave.' We spend a good 20 to 25 minutes with every customer."
"It's Magical The Stories You Hear"
As for the 'normies' who walk into the coffee shop?
"We don't have signs or fliers up promoting sobriety, but we're also trying to break the stigma of addiction and recovery," Brown said. "Some people come in and wonder what we're all about, but, from us being vulnerable it's crazy the people who come in and just open up. It's magical the stories we hear."
Explaining that their clothing and coffee is a by-product of their business, Mike said, "This is about real people coming in and needing help. Not a lot of people have access to that one-on-one life experience."
On what's next for "Spiritual Soldiers?" Soon to open their clothing brand online, they hope to bring their message to a new platform across North America.
"The clothing isn't just a piece of clothing. And the coffee isn't just a cup of coffee. We want people to be able to wear our clothing and drink our coffee and be proud of who they are," Mike said. "We did some pretty shitty things as addicts and alcoholics, but we're not bad people, we're sick. When we're treated, we have love and compassion. It's our way of sharing hope through a piece of clothing and through a cup of coffee."
Spiritual Soldier's Mission Statement
A call to arms to raise awareness for addiction. We want to take away the depiction of the old man wearing a torn and ratty, tweed trench coat with the finger tips cut off his gloves clutching a bottle of whisky draped in a brown paper bag. We want to take away the misconception that "it could never happen to you" and place it right in your back yard. The reality is everyone is or has known some one who has been affected by addiction.
When people hear the word spirituality they immediately associate it with god or religion. The truth is spirituality comes through so many different forms. You could find spirituality through love, music, meditation, or sports. It's whatever speaks to you. The possibilities after having a spiritual awakening are endless. Spirituality is your ability to surrender to something greater than yourself. A way to find peace with who you are. To be comfortable in your own skin. For alcoholics and addicts this is nearly impossible. When we are in our addiction it is always dark and that metaphorical light seems very dim and very far. We need help and we need help to see ourselves.
Our mission is to fight back against this global epidemic. Addiction is a war and a war can't be won without soldiers.
One response to "'Sober Bar' And Coffee Shop Opens In Ontario To Help Those Struggling"
rubylarkspur says:
The mission of this group is a call to arms … to understand and to love. It's my hope that they are able to expand these coffee houses all across North America. The concepts of addiction and recovery that they understand will save countless lives, and return dignity to those who desperately seek to belong again. Blessings to Mike Brown and his crew…

See the PSG player Arsenal wants to sign this summer.
May 18, 2021 Admin CELEBRITY, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTING, WORLD NEWS
Arsenal are considering a move to make a free transfer signing this summer of Paris Saint-Germain legend Thiago Silva.
It is believed Arsenal are one of five Premier League sides chasing Silva who is set to be released by PSG at the end of the season.
According to 90min.com, Arsenal could face competition from Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle and West Ham.
Also, clubs in his native Brazil, the MLS, China, Japan and Qatar are interested in Silva.
And the report adds that Arsenal may even bring Silva, 35, in to replace fellow Brazilian David Luiz, whose future remains uncertain amid a potential return to former club Benfica.
A source said: "Thiago is going to have his pick of clubs, once he decides where he wants to play.
"The chance to pick up a star like Thiago, despite his age, is clearly appealing and the interest in the Premier League is actually growing."
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to recruit another centre-back when the transfer window opens.
Dayot Upamecano, Samuel Umititi and Daniele Rugani are among the long list of names linked.
William Saliba will return from his season-long loan at Saint-Etienne and Pablo Mari could make his switch permanent.
Everton could be in a strong position to sign Silva with Carlo Ancelotti in charge at Goodison Park.
Ancelotti signed Silva at PSG in 2012 and the pair spent a year together before the Italian joined Real Madrid.
However, the centre-back also admitted early on during his time at PSG he would like to return to AC Milan at some point in his career.
He said: "I hope to follow Kaka's footsteps one day, even if not right now, coming back to Milan.
"Milan was a wonderful time for me. I send the fans a big kiss, hoping to see each other again soon.
"It's a shame I went away without saying goodbye, but it was only because I didn't know that I would be leaving Milan."
Since arriving from AC Milan eight years ago, the defender has established himself a key figure in the PSG squad.
His tally of 287 appearances as captain – from a total of 310 – since 2012 makes Silva the longest-serving and most-capped captain in PSG's history.
He has picked up seven Ligue 1 titles out of eight, and nine domestic cups.
But with Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos already established first-team stars, Abdou Diallo arriving from Borussia Dortmund last year and the likes of teenage pair Tanguy Kouassi and Loic Mbe Soh coming through, there are plenty of younger centre-back options for Thomas Tuchel.

If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks. You can also look at tumblelogs as slightly more structured blogs that make it easier, faster, and more fun to post and share stuff you find or create.
Take a look at what I've put together for my library's Youth Services: The QC. I use it to share morale-boosting (and humorous) anecdotes, links to useful research websites, and insightful quotes from other library blogs or columns. And I update it with just a few minutes each day.
It'd be easy to whip up something like this for your own library and use it to share links, photos, quotes and other useful bits of information. So go ahead, take the Tumblr plunge and have a quick-and-dirty blog of your own.

How Exporting US Gas Will Transform Global Energy Markets: Sam Wahab (6/27/13)
Here's the situation: North America is swimming in cheap natural gas, whereas international markets are thirsty for it and paying a premium. Now that the DOE is beginning to approve LNG export permits, North American producers have major incentive to drill, baby, drill. To get an expert perspective on the coming LNG supply shift, The Energy Report turned to Cantor Fitzgerald Analyst Sam Wahab, who keeps tabs on global oil and gas developments from his base in London. This is a must-read interview for anyone who wants to profit from a potentially massive shift in natural gas fundamentals.

Comey confirms FBI used unverified dossier paid for by Clinton and Dems to justify spying on Trump
Comey now has confirmed what Republican lawmakers like Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have been warning everyone about for months.
Former FBI Director James Comey confirmed on Friday that the FBI used an unverified dossier, paid for by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party as political opposition research, to justify spying on the duly nominated GOP candidate for president just weeks before Election Day.
The ex-FBI boss confessed that the FBI had not corroborated much of the Steele dossier before it was submitted as evidence to a secret court to support a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in the final weeks of the election.
Comey also admitted much of the dossier remained uncorroborated more than six months later when he was fired by President Trump.
Comey's investigative team (in the form of the Steele dossier) and his general counsel James Baker (in the form of evidence from a Democratic Party lawyer) accepted politically tainted evidence to further the probe of republican candidate Donald Trump.
Although Comey has insisted he didn't condone leaking inside the FBI, top deputy Andrew McCabe was caught leaking to the media and later fired for lying about it. James Comey denies he knew anything about that leak but acknowledges that he himself orchestrated a separate leak through a friend after beong fired by Trump.
Comey's transmission of memos to his lawyers regarding classified conversations he had with President Trump forced the government to send "scrub teams" to recover any classified information that may have been transmitted, according to multiple sources briefed on the operation.

Home › Industries › Wolverine Toys
Wolverine Toys
The "Wolverine Supply & Mfg. Co." was founded in Pittsburgh in 1903, by Benjamin F. Bain. Incorporated as a company in 1906, Wolverine designed and manufactured household utensils and broom holders, as well as the tools and dies to make them. Their original headquarters was in the Phipps Power Building near Stanwix Street & Duquesne Boulevard in downtown Pittsburgh. Here Benjamin Bain discovered the opportunity to get into the toy manufacturing business. In 1913, needing more room for Wolverine, Bain purchased the property on Fontella Street between Page and Western Avenues in Manchester. He constructed a large 3-story toy factory on the site, and lived on the property as well.
Here he expanded on his line of sturdy sand-operated mechanical tin (or pressed steel) construction-type boy's toys that would eventually be sold in major department and toy stores across the United States. The manufacture of these pressed steel mechanical toys provided employment for many Northsiders over the years, with the work force at Wolverine swelling to over 450 around September each year, as they geared up for the holiday season. Wolverine's original toys were all sand-operated, followed by the addition of marble power (both aggie & steel balls.) Eventually he added vehicles such as trains, streetcars, boats, trucks and cars that were all powered by a unique patented spring powered motor. Within a few years Wolverine developed various tin game boards, both manual and mechanical, as well as branching out into "Girl Toys" like stoves, refrigerators, sinks, cupboards, washing machines and furniture. These toys trace the history of vehicle and appliance design over the years.
The toy factory was enlarged twice over the years, and the building still stands. Remnants of the proud "Wolverine Supply & Mfg. Co." name and the large word "TOYS" are still visible on the building.
By the early 1950's Bain's company developed educational toys, and in 1962 changed their name to "Wolverine Toy Company." Spang Industries of Butler, PA purchased Wolverine in 1968, and in 1971 moved all operations to Booneville, Arkansas. In 1986 the name of this line of still-popular toys was changed to "Today's Kids."

Presently before me is the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (Doc. 13) filed by Plaintiffs Ricardo Gonzalez ("Gonzalez"), Severin Johnson ("Johnson"), and Michael Scott Marshall ("Marshall") (collectively, where appropriate, "Plaintiffs"). On October 16, 2015, while Plaintiffs were filming outside the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, they were approached by multiple state troopers. After Plaintiffs refused to respond to questions by the troopers, they were arrested by William Waltman ("Waltman"), a Corporal with the Pennsylvania State Police, and troopers under his direction. Plaintiffs were charged with defiant trespass in violation of 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 3503(b)(1)(ii) for walking beyond a sign located outside the barracks stating "Emergency and Authorized Vehicles Only." The charges proceeded to a summary trial in magisterial district court. At the close of the Commonwealth's case-in-chief, the presiding magisterial district judge granted Plaintiffs' motion for judgment of acquittal. Plaintiffs subsequently commenced this action against Waltman asserting claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution. Now, Plaintiffs seek partial summary judgment on those claims. Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment will be denied because a reasonable jury could conclude that probable cause existed for the crime charged.
Plaintiffs Gonzalez and Johnson worked for an organization called "CopBlock." (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 1; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 1). Marshall also did some work for CopBlock. (See id.). CopBlock is a national organization that investigates, videos, and writes about police misconduct. (See id.). Plaintiffs were investigative reporters for CopBlock. (See id.). Waltman is a Corporal with the Pennsylvania State Police and he was the patrol unit supervisor at the Lehighton Barracks in October 2015. (See Waltman Dep., 5:23-7:5).
After Plaintiffs learned that police in Lehighton were seizing cameras and/or demanding individuals shut off their cameras when filming police, Plaintiffs decided to investigate. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 5; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 6). On October 16, 2015, Plaintiffs first went to the Lehighton Police Department before proceeding to the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks in Lehighton to get background video for a story. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶¶ 6-7; Def.'s SMF, ¶¶ 6-7). Upon their arrival, Plaintiffs noticed a police vehicle parked across a handicapped parking space. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 8; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 8). After informing Waltman that three people were filming the barracks, Corporal Borosh and two other troopers began to observe Plaintiffs on surveillance cameras. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶¶ 9-10; Def.'s SMF, ¶¶ 9-10). Waltman inquired as to whether Plaintiffs were "beyond the signs", but they were not at that point. (See Pls.'s SMF, ¶ 13; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 13). Waltman was later informed that two Plaintiffs had walked past the sign. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 14; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 14).
A sign on one part of the parking lot at the barracks states "Emergency and Authorized Vehicles Only." (Pls.' SMF, ¶ 11; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 11). The sign does not refer to pedestrians or people outside of vehicles. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 12; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 12).
Waltman personally took Johnson into custody and directed other troopers to arrest Marshall and Gonzalez after learning that at least two of them walked past the sign. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 15; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 15). Before arresting Johnson, Waltman asked him if he was beyond the sign, to which Johnson replied "I don't feel the need to answer any question." (Pls.' SMF, ¶ 16; Def. SMF, ¶ 16). Waltman arrested Johnson and had the others taken into custody because they were in a restricted area, they were behind the building and were not emergency personnel, they did not respond to questions about what they were doing outside of the barracks, they were filming the barracks, and for security purposes, including his observations in light of the Eric Frein incident. (See Waltman Dep., 11:11-12:24 45:5-25, 46:5-25). Plaintiffs were all handcuffed and Marshall was shackled to a bench. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 19; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 19). Plaintiffs were seized "for the purpose of and to begin prosecuting them." (Pls.' SMF, ¶ 20; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 20).
Plaintiffs were all charged with defiant trespass in violation of 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 3503(b)(1)(ii), which states that "(1) A person commits an offense if, knowing that he is not licensed or privileged to do so, he enters or remains in any place as to which notice against trespass is given by: . . . (ii) posting in a manner prescribed by law or reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders." (Pls.' SMF, ¶¶ 21, 23; Def.'s SMF, ¶¶ 21, 23). Prior to issuing the charges, the on-call assistant district attorney was contacted, and he advised after review that nothing greater than summary criminal charges were warranted at the time. (See Pls.' Ex. "5").
Plaintiffs were released on the evening of October 16, 2015, but Plaintiffs' cell phones and cameras were kept by the Pennsylvania State Police. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 26; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 26; see also Pls.' Ex. "5" (request for return of property was denied)). Waltman refused to return the property or provide a receipt for same, and he threatened to re-arrest Plaintiffs if they did not leave immediately. (See Pls.' SMF, ¶ 28; Def.'s SMF, ¶ 28).
On March 1, 2016, a summary trial was held on the trespass charges filed against Plaintiffs resulting from the events outside the barracks on October 16, 2015. (See Pls. Exs. "25"-"27"). At the summary trial, Waltman asked questions of witnesses, presented evidence, and made arguments on behalf of the Commonwealth. (See Waltman Dep., 54:16-55:24). There was no assistant district attorney at Plaintiffs' summary trial. (See id.). The magisterial district judge granted Plaintiffs' motion for judgment of acquittal at the conclusion of the Commonwealth's case-in-chief without hearing any evidence or testimony from Plaintiffs. (See Compl., ¶ 30; Answer, ¶ 30). According to Waltman, the magisterial district judge granted Plaintiffs' motion to dismiss the charges, citing "that the Commonwealth failed to meet the criteria for the charge of 'Defiant Trespass', in that the signs posted at the time at PSP Lehighton were un-clear to the reader." (Pls.' Ex. "15").
Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs commenced this action on July 1, 2016. (See Doc. 1, generally). In Count One of the Complaint, Plaintiffs allege that Waltman falsely arrested them without probable cause in violation of the Fourth Amendment and based on their exercise of their First and Fifth Amendment rights. (See id.). Count Two of the Complaint asserts a Fourth Amendment malicious prosecution claim. (See id.). Waltman answered the complaint, (see Doc. 8, generally), and the matter proceeded to discovery. With discovery now completed, Plaintiffs have moved for partial summary judgment on their false arrest (Count One) and malicious prosecution (Count Two) claims. (See Doc. 13, generally). Plaintiffs' motion is fully briefed and ripe for disposition.
Summary judgment shall be granted "if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). "A court may grant a motion for summary judgment if, after it considers all probative materials of record, with inferences drawn in favor of the non-moving party, the court is satisfied that there are no genuine issues of material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Chavarriaga v. N.J. Dep't of Corrs., 806 F.3d 210, 218 (3d Cir. 2015) (citing Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 330, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2556, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986); Brooks v. Kyler, 204 F.3d 102, 105 n.5 (3d Cir. 2000)). "A fact is 'material' under Rule 56 if its existence or nonexistence might impact the outcome of the suit under the applicable substantive law. A dispute over a material fact is 'genuine' if 'a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.'" Santini v. Fuentes, 795 F.3d 410, 416 (3d Cir. 2015) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2510, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)). "In determining whether the dispute is genuine, the court's function is not to weigh the evidence or to determine the truth of the matter . . . ." American Eagle Outfitters v. Lyle & Scott Ltd., 584 F.3d 587, 581 (3d Cir. 2009) (citing Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248-49, 106 S.Ct. 2505).

How We Tested
The Best Smart Locks
By Max Mutter and Steven Tata
We bought and tested 6 of the most well regarded smart locks on the market in order to find the best alternative to deal with a full ring of keys. After spending over 100 hours using and abusing these locks, we don't really feel like the technology has yet reached its full potential. For most people we would recommend going with a simple, 'dumb' keypad lock instead of dealing with the possible complications of using a smart lock. However, some of these locks do currently occupy a useful niche, namely for people that own rental properties or that need to let lots of different dog walkers, contractors, cleaners, etc. into their home. If you fit into one of those categories, our testing results will help you find the best model.

Of all the smart locks we tested, the Schlage Sense with WiFi Adapter is the first one we would consider using in one of our own homes. The app lets you easily create time-limited keypad codes that can be texted to dog walkers, cleaners, or anyone else that might need access to your home on short notice. The installation certainly wasn't straightforward, but there are enough instructions and videos provided by Schlage that most should be able to figure it out. We also really liked that the keypad gave us the option to manually unlock if the Bluetooth connection between the lock and the phone was being a bit finicky.
Like all of the locks we tested, we had some trouble granting other phones access to the lock via the app. This meant that we had to let people in by giving them a keycode to punch in, rather than using their phones as a virtual key. We didn't really see this as a downside, as we'd rather hand out temporary keypad codes than make visitors download an app and make a Schlage account in order to open the door. We did have one isolated incident where a shared code did not work, requiring the smart hub to be reset before that code actually worked and granted access. So we can't say the Schlage Sense works 100% of the time, but it's pretty close. The lock is also certified at ANSI Grade 3 (the lowest security grading for deadbolts. This is likely plenty of security, but some may like the peace of mind that a higher grade lock brings. Overall the Schlage Sense is the best solution we've found for remotely providing other people access to your home.

Best for Nest Users
Check price at Amazon
Works great within Nest ecosystems
Remote access sharing can malfunction
No physical key backup
No compatibility outside of Nest
Outside of the Schlage Sense, the only other smart lock we'd really put our stamp of approval on is the Nest x Yale with Connect, and that stamp only applies if you've already committed to Nest as your smart home proprietor. In that case, the Nest x Yale conveniently nests (we couldn't resist) into your existing app and offers a familiar user experience. We also found it relatively easy to install, and it offers a slightly beefier ANSI grade 2 security rating.
The biggest downside to the Nest x Yale is that, in our experience, sharing access via the Nest app (as in sharing access with someone else that has a Nest account and app, thus turning their phone into a Bluetooth key) can malfunction a not insignificant amount of the time. One thing that always worked for us was creating keycodes to share so that your visitors could simply punch in a code instead of using the Nest app. However, these codes cannot be time-constrained, so you have to closely manage them if you don't want people to have access to your home all of the time. Still, if you already spend time in and are familiar with the Nest app, we think this is more convenient than using a completely separate app just for your lock.

Why You Should Trust Us
Max Mutter and Steven Tata have become experts in smart home devices over the past 3 years. In that span they've used just about every smart speaker on the market, have lived with more than a dozen different Wi-Fi security cameras in their homes, used an army of robot vacuums to clean their floors, driven around with more dashboard cameras than you can shake a stick at, and now, used multiple different smart locks on their own front doors. Throughout that process, they've become familiar with the various smart hubs used by many of these devices, and picked up an innate feel for when these gadgets are adding value to their day-to-day routines, and when they're just serving up unnecessary complications.
In finding the best smart lock for your door we meticulously researched more than 40 models. Once we whittled that list down to the most likely to be worthy of accompanying your doorknob, we purchased those model at normal retail prices (here at TechGearLab we never accept any free gifts from manufacturers). We then installed them all in on the same door so that we could evaluate their installation, keyless entry, remote access sharing, and overall user-friendliness in a side-by-side manner. Once we had completed these controlled tests, we then brought them to our respective homes, living with each for multiple days to discover all of their hidden conveniences and annoyances.

Analysis and Test Results
Smart locks are certainly an evolving technology, and we feel that overall these products haven't quite realized their full potential. However imperfect the current selection of products, there are still some models that can solve some of our modern conundrums. We found these models by rigorously testing the reliability and usefulness of their smart features, how easy they are to install, their security level, and their overall user-friendliness.
Related: Buying Advice for Smart Locks
In general, smart locks have not yet evolved to a point where there is a wide range of prices. Most retail in the neighborhood of a couple hundred dollars, and those that are south of that mark generally don't come with an included smart hub. That means you'll need to spend more on a hub in order to access their smart features. Therefore, the top performer is de facto also the best value, making the Schlage Sense with Wifi Adapter both our Editors' Choice winner, and the best overall value.
What About Amazon Key?
Amazon Key is a service that combines a keypad smart lock and an Amazon home security camera into a system that allows Amazon Prime deliveries to be placed inside your door, rather than left on your front stoop. If you've had multiple Amazon packages mysteriously disappear, this system may be a worthwhile investment. Currently Amazon only offers this service with specific Yale and Kwikset lock models that are more or less designed specifically for the Amazon Key system. Because these locks are mostly useful within the Amazon Key ecosystem we didn't test them for this review, which focuses on standalone smart locks. However, based on our experience with the Kwikset Kevo and the Nest x Yale, we would certainly lean towards getting one of the Yale locks if we were to use an Amazon Key system.
The Schlage Sense offers the most usable smart features of all the locks we tested.
Smart locks carry a hefty price premium when compared to their 'dumb' counterparts, so they need to offer reliable and useful smart features in order to be a worthwhile purchase. We used every smart feature these locks offer, side-by-side, to assess both the relative usability and reliability of all these features. This included features like Bluetooth entry, keypad entry, compatibility with smart home platforms (Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, etc.), and activity logs. Much of our testing focused on granting third parties access to the lock remotely, as this is one of the most useful and common applications of smart lock technology. Generally, we found models that require using an app to share access somewhat clunky and unreliable, while those that utilize a keypad and temporary codes for access to be much more user-friendly.
Two models took our top score of 7 out of 10 in our smart features testing: the Schlage Sense with WiFi Adapter and the August Pro + Connect. The Editors' Choice winning Schlage Sense offers activity logs, both Bluetooth and keypad entry, and almost universal smart home compatibility (Zigbee being the notable exception). What really endeared this lock to us was its ability to easily create temporary, time-constrained codes that could be texted to anyone you like. We did have one instance where one of those codes didn't work but in general, they were convenient and effective. The activity log also accurately cataloged the use of those codes. Granting other people Bluetooth access (ie. open app, door unlocks) was somewhat problematic, but also not a feature we felt we'd really want to use anyway.
Remote locking and unlocking was one smart feature that worked well on all of the locks we tested.
The August Pro + Connect also provided a fairly good smart home experience. It claims to play nice with most smart home platforms (Zigbee again being an exception), though we did have some issues getting it to work with Alexa. We had success in sharing Bluetooth access with other people via the app (essentially turning phones into Bluetooth keys). Overall we think this is slightly less convenient than using a keypad and sharing a code, as it forces the recipient to create an August account and download the app. However, once that is done the August Pro provides a detailed activity log, and lets you grant time-constrained access to individuals.
We ran into many glitches and bugs when sharing access with locks that require the recipient to download an app (like the Kevo and Nest, left and center). That's why we preferred the simplicity of the Schlage Sense, which simply sends a keycode via text (right).
Earning an average score of 5 out of 1 in this metric, the Nest x Yale is a bit more limiting than the top scorers. It is only compatible with the Nest Connect Hub, pigeonholing it to those that want to build their smart home around Nest's offerings. We also found access sharing to be somewhat constrained, as you are able to create different key codes to share with people, but you can't make those key codes time sensitive. In order to make those codes time sensitive (ie. only let the dog walker in between 11 am and 1 pm), you have to send them between Nest apps, necessitating that the recipient both has a Nest account and the Nest app downloaded on their phone. Even with all those requirements met, we still ran into many error messages when trying to send access codes, and even when those codes worked we often found odd inconsistencies in the activity log.
Both the August Smart and the Kwikset Kevo provide similar smart functionality, and both shared a score of 4 out of 10 in this metric. Both require a separate smart hub in order to access their smart features. Neither of these models have keypads, so you must open the app on your phone, essentially turning it into a Bluetooth Key, in order to unlock the lock. This means sharing access requires others to create an account and download an app. This function worked well for both locks in our experience, and the corresponding activity locks were accurate. Annoyingly, both locks also had delays when using a phone to open them. Once the app was open while in Bluetooth range we usually had to tap the locks multiple times before the lock actually opened. In both cases, we far preferred using a physical key to open the locks to using a phone. The August is compatible with Alexa and Google Home, while the Kwikset only works with Alexa.
In our opinion, the best smart lock feature is a keypad, like those on all of the Schlage models we tested.
The worst scorer in our smart feature testing was the Schlage Z-Wave Connect Camelot, which earned only a 2 out of 10. It requires purchasing an additional hub in order to use smart features, and we found those features to be lackluster at best. It is only compatible with Alexa and Z-Wave smart home platforms. You can only share access with people via email, and you can't set any time constraints on that access. This makes the Camelot functionally equivalent to texting people the key code to a 'dumb' keypad lock. The only advantage is that you do get an activity log, and the ability to check on the lock remotely.
When the keyless entry systemt of the Kwikset Kevo works it's great. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned quite a bit in our testing.
Introducing new technology into something you likely use multiple times per day can either make life easier, or harder. We evaluated how well each of our locks meshed into the daily routine of locking and unlocking doors in order to make sure you're not creating 2 new problems in order to solve one (trust us, in some instances that is the case). Thus keyless entry testing focused on how easily each lock granted access to its main user. We're talking when walking to the door with an armful of groceries, it is easier to use the smart lock, or will you wish you just had a key?
The Schlage Sense was the best performer in this category, earning an 8 out of 10. Were generally able to open the lock via the app when we within 30 feet of the door, or could pick up the house's WiFi network. This meant we could usually unlock the door from the car, before grabbing two big handfuls of groceries. Generally opening the lock with the app took less than 10 seconds. We only encountered a couple of glitchy moments where it took longer than that. It was also quite easy to type in an access code if we didn't want to deal with using a phone. Finally, you could still use an old fashioned key if all else fails.
Keypad models, like the Schlage Camelot pictured above, provide the most convenient keyless entry for most situations. Just punch in a code, no phone fumbling required.
Just behind the top scorer, the Nest x Yale earned a 7 out of 10 in our keyless entry metric. If offers pretty much all of the advantages of the top scoring Schlage Sense with simple Bluetooth unlocking and a keypad in case you'd rather unlock the door without fumbling in your pocket for your phone. The only downside to this model in comparison to the Schlage is that it doesn't offer a physical key option. This isn't completely necessary, but being able to leave a physical key in your glove compartment in case the smart lock malfunctions is a nice option to have.
What About Geofencing?
Many models offer a geofencing feature that automatically unlocks the door when your cell phone gets within a set distance of your phone. While this is convenient, we've come across many user reviews mentioning this technology malfunctioning and unlocking the door while the occupants are home or even in bed. Therefore, if you choose to use this feature, we suggest you do so with caution.
The Schlage Z-Wave Connected Camelot functions the same as its sibling, the Schlage Sense, meaning you can easily get access via the app, a key code, or a physical key. However, when trying to open the lock via Bluetooth we did run into some false starts where we needed to restart the app before the door actually unlocked, so we gave it a slightly lower score of 6 out of 10.
The Nest x Yale's keypad offers easy user entry for teh owner of the lock, though we did run into issues when sharing keycodes with others.
The August Pro + Connect is the first of the models that we would consider annoying to use, earning it a score of 5 out of 10. It has no keypad, so if you want to ditch the key you'll have to unlock using the app via Bluetooth. In our experience this tended not to work on the first attempt, requiring multiple, sometimes frustrated tapping on our smartphone screens. On average, it would take 20 seconds or more to unlock the August Pro using the app. Luckily you still have the option of using a key.
The August Smart fell one step below its sibling with a score of 4 out of 10. It shares the same frustrations with a slow and unreliable Bluetooth unlocking process, but it tended to take a little longer to actually unlock than even the August Pro. Again, luckily, you can default to using an actual key if need be.
The August models we tested generally opened quickly when we sed our phones as Bluetooth keys, but we did run into some glitches.
The Kwikset Kevo was our least favorite lock to use, earning it a score of 3 out of 10. The lack of a keypad forces you to use Bluetooth to unlock it, which involves opening the app while within Bluetooth range, and then tapping the lock with your finger. At least that's what it's supposed to involve. In our testing it actually involved opening the app, tapping the lock a few times, then putting the phone right next to the lock, tapping it a few more times, cursing into the ether, tapping a few more times, and then finally hearing the bolt unlock. If we weren't testing this product we would have switched to using the optional physical key after just a few uses.
The Schlage Camelot has the highest ANSI security rating of all the locks we tested.
We assessed the security of these locks in two ways. First, we looked at the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) rating for each lock. This is a rating from 1 to 3 (1 being the best) of how secure the physical deadbolt is. We also evaluated the efficacy of auto-locking features that will automatically lock the door, even if you forget to do so yourself.
The Schlage Z-Wave Connect Camelot led the field in our security testing with a score of 9 out of 10. It carries an ANSI grade 1 security rating, the highest possible. It also has an auto lock that engages after 30 seconds of inactivity, so you'll always 'remember' to lock the door.
Don't Lock Yourself Out
Autolock features are great, but they also make it pretty easy to lock yourself out of the house if you go to check the mail sans phone (keypad models do give you another out if this happens). We also found that most models will engage the deadbolt, even if the door is open. So if you've left the door open for a while, you'll want to make sure the deadbolt isn't engaged lest you smash the door frame.
The Nest x Yale was next up in our security testing, earning a score of 7 out of 10. Its ANSI rating is grade 2, and you can set a custom auto-lock delay. This means you can set a longer delay if you tend to pop outside to grab the mail without your phone, and don't want to get yourself locked out.
Both August models simply control your existing deadbolt, so if you already have a high security deadbolt you still get to enjoy its benefits.
Most of the models we tested fell into the average bucket, all earning scores of 5 out of 10 in our security testing. The Schlage Sense has an ANSI grade 3 rating (low, but likely secure enough) and does have an auto-locking feature. Both the August Pro + Connect and the August Smart do not have ANSI ratings as they install onto an existing deadbolt. They both also have auto lock features that work well.
The Kwikset Kevo was the lowest scorer in this metric, picking up a 4 out of 10. It is ANSI grade 2 and has no auto-locking features, which doesn't compliment its finicky touch controls very well.
Installing all of our locks in our super secure smart door.
We scored ease of installation based both on how difficult it is to physically install each lock into a door, and how arduous it is the get the lock talking to a smart hub, and in turn talking to your phone. While some of these locks are certainly more difficult to install than others, the differences aren't huge. Therefore we wouldn't let a lower installation score dissuade you unless the phrase 'DIY' makes you shudder.
We found the Nest x Yale to be the easiest lock to install, earning it the top score of 9 out of 10. It installs basically as easy as any deadbolt. It is clear that Nest has been in the smart home game for a while, as getting the lock connected to the app and all set up was a breeze compared to many of the other models.
The Nest x Yale is quite easy to install.
Both August models we tested, the Pro + Connect and the Smart, scored 8 out of 10 in this metric. Both locks mount onto an existing deadbolt, so you won't have to fuss with the actual bolt at all. Just remove a couple screws to take the thumb latch off, screw on the August baseplate, and slide the lock on, simple as that. We also had very little trouble syncing the locks with smart hubs.
Both August models just sit on top of an existing deadbolt, making installation very easy.
The Schlage Sense, our favorite overall lock, was only mediocre in our installation testing, earning a 6 out of 10. The Sense has slightly less wiggle room when it comes to installation. Most people will likely be able to pop it right in, but there is more of a chance you might need to move things around and maybe drill some new holes. App setup was relatively painless, and the included smart hub set up quite easily.
We found the installation process for the Kwikset Kevo to be somewhat slow and complicated.
The Schlage Z-Wave Connect Camelot was one of the worst scorers in this metric, earning a 5 out of 10. Like some of the manufacturer's other offerings, we found the physical installation of this lock to be a bit more difficult than most. We also had some difficulties in getting the lock to talk to the smart hub during installation. We had to restart the app multiple times before we were able to actually complete the initial setup.
The Kwikset Kevo also earned a 5 out of 10. Its physical installation felt like it should be easy, but it just didn't want to line up and seat properly (it took us 25 minutes of finicking to get it to do so). We also had to do multiple app restarts before it was happy with the network and let us go through the initial setup process.
After using a multitude of smart locks for an extended period of time, we personally don't feel that they are a worthy addition to most homes. For the majority of homeowners, we feel a 'dumb' keypad lock would provide most of the convenience of a smart option for a mere fraction of the price. However, if you manage multiple vacation rental homes, or have a rotating cast of dog walkers, the ability to remotely grant access to your home(s) has the potential to make your life a bit easier (though the process is often less than intuitive). We hope that our testing results have led you through this minefield and helped you decide whether one of these gadgets would be worth the cost.

The most unfortunate thing that can happen to you and to anybody else for that matter is to be a burden to your family when you die. When that time comes, you would not want your family to be dealing with financial problems or worse having to worry about where to find money for your burial. That is the reason why getting a life insurance policy is one of your important priorities. Keep reading this article to understand more about life insurance policy.
The face value of the life insurance policy is awarded to the family when the inevitable happens. This is not its only benefit. Generally, it also covers the expense of burial which means your family will receive the total face value of policy. Another benefit of life insurance is it has a loan provision. If for instance, you find yourself in need of money, you can borrow a certain percentage of the accumulated premium payments. Most insurance companies allow loans of up to 80 per cent of total payments. So if you think, you will not benefit from a life insurance policy while you are still alive, perish the thought. Of course, you have to pay for the loan.
There are several types of life insurance policies. There are two main types of life insurance. They are term life insurance and the whole-life insurance. Term insurance has fixed time limits, usually 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, etc.... At end of the term, the holder can extend the coverage period. On the Whole life insurance covers the entire life of the insured. Other types of insurance policies are: Guaranteed Universal Life Insurance, Variable Life Insurance, Equity Indexed Life Insurance and Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance, Accidental Death Insurance and Simplified Issue Life Insurance. Before you decide which type is the best for you, you should consider your needs and financial situation.
The best life insurance policy is one that provides the most benefits and at a price that you can afford. Getting a policy with the highest value but whose premiums are difficult to pay is not logical. You will waste your money if in the end the policy is terminated because you can't complete the required payments.
It is easy to determine which type of life insurance is best for you, but identifying the best insurance companies y is not so easy. You will have to conduct thorough research to find the companies offering the most affordable premiums, terms and conditions for the highest face values. If you want to discover more about life insurance policies, view here for more.

Our little family just celebrated one year in our first house! It feels like we moved in just yesterday. It was our very first house, and we were very excited. We were so ready to start this new journey that we went ahead and grabbed our mattress and our son's Pack N' Play the night we closed so we could sleep in our new home – even though we didn't have any furniture! Being without furniture was not going to keep us from enjoying our new place!
It was such a special night. Jackson loved having so much open space to run around inside. When our furniture arrived a few days later, his excitement for running in open spaces was replaced with excitement for climbing on/jumping off all of the new furniture!
It is amazing how much you have to learn when you become a first-time homeowner. Having a front and back yard to take care of was new territory for us. There was a lot my husband already knew, but not me. He had to learn a few things too, though!
For instance, we had a certain type of weed in our backyard that was getting out of control. Joseph spent a lot of time working on the yard and eventually went to our local Lowes for some guidance.
That is where someone gave him advice that I will never forget. He said, "If you want the weeds to die, you have to be intentional in feeding the good grass around them." He explained how if the good grass became healthy and strong enough, it would eventually choke out the weeds.
Who would have thought? I had no idea that you could get rid of weeds by focusing on the health of the good grass.
How true can this be for our own lives as well? When we are focused on getting the weeds out of our yard by yanking them out, they would just keep growing back more powerful than before. Sometimes, when we try to rid the weeds (sin) of our lives, they also grow back more powerful than before. This is because we unintentionally allow that sin to overcome our thoughts while we are trying so hard to get rid of it.
It would be no different than telling a child to not think of a purple elephant with polka dots. That is like asking them to immediately disobey directions! Just as the elephant becomes the child's focus, the weed-like sin can become ours and begin to consume our minds. We get so focused on the battle with that particular weed that we become distracted from the overall war.
If we instead focus on the good grass (such as prayer, godly relationships, digging into God's Word, or anything else that draws us closer to God) the worldly weeds of sin will be choked out by default.
Godly relationships help refine us by getting rid of those rough edges.
If we surround our lives with solid men and women of God, our rough edges become refined. In other words, good grass is starting to grow and weed-like sin is beginning to be choked out.
Worldly weeds become deprived where the fruit of the Spirit is cultivated to thrive.
It may take time and even be inconvenient, but investing the time to feed the good grass in our lives can make an enormous difference. The work and endurance will be worth it. Just take a look at our yard and you will see how much better it looks since we have taken the time to feed the good grass!
Thank you so much for this blog post. It helped me so much today as I was pondering two decisions in my life.
Aw. Thank you, Kenya! Love you!
Really needed this reminder this morning! Thanks for sharing Tiffany!
I love this. Thanks for sharing your revelations. They are super helpful and life-giving.
Great analogy! I love the link you made between the good grass and the fruit of the spirit!


Now, Dorsey's unusual eating habits have once again garnered a lot of attention — and criticism — after he discussed them on a recent podcast episode. He told host Ben Greenfield — a fitness influencer who tweeted "anti-vaxx" comments last month — that he only eats one meal per day during the work week, then fasts for the whole weekend.
However, Dorsey is far from the only tech billionaire to play around with unique eating habits and controversial diet fads. The late Apple cofounder, Steve Jobs, was known to go weeks only eating one or two foods at a time — once, it was strictly carrots and apples. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made it his "personal challenge" in 2011 to only eat meat from animals he had killed himself.
Many are pulled to the diet because when you can eat — in the specific defined window of the day — you don't have to count calories or ban carbs. But Dorsey said in his podcast appearance that his one meal per day includes fish, chicken or steak, with a side of vegetables.


I am so in awe that I can barely type. I've always loved Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Its influence on science fiction, cinema, and our culture, just can't be overestimated. It just hasn't been seen intact since 1927. The first showings of Metropolis were a critical and financial disaster, so Paramount cut almost a quarter of the movie (including most of the plot). The removed original footage was assumed lost. Experts debated what was even on the footage until details about the German language cards were found in the mid-90s.
Yesterday, ZEITmagazin announced that that was wrong. A copy of almost the entire movie was found in Argentina. It's a second or third-generation copy, and damaged, but it can be viewed, and we can see the story. Even better, the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation is dedicated to bring ing the new footage out to the public!
Time to break out my Kino copy of the last restoration, to tide me over until 2010 or whenever they get this version restored.


What can $5 million in hotel renovations buy you? If you're the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center, it can buy you a pretty impressive new restaurant and bar set within a gorgeous new lobby and 2nd floor landing area.
Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen takes the traditional hotel restaurant and bar to a whole new level. Root25's gastro-pub concept has a Colorado spin on it, with locally sourced food, beer, and spirits. Hawaiian chef Kimo Akana creates seasonal dishes like a chopped bleu cheese steakhouse salad served in a unique wooden bowl, or a braised Colorado lamb dish served with toasted buckwheat groats and a red wine vinegar gastrique. The chef also brews his own beer (which was served on their opening night and tasted great), and uses beer in some of his dishes as well as a unique hop smoked pork sandwich. They've even got malt roasted chicken wings, complete with 3 delicious "Colorado crafted" sauces: Black lager buffalo, milk stout bbq, and spicy apricot blonde.
Speaking of beer, Colorado's favorite beverage is definitely front and center at Root25 (I mean, "Taphouse" is in their name, right?). They've got an impressive tap list with local favorites like Great Divide, Upslope, Avery, and Odell, as well as a rotating tap list that will showcase some of Colorado's more unique brews.
Pies in a jar. Incredible.
They've even got their own personalized growlers you can fill up with whichever craft beer wins over your palette. Although a bit unusual for a non-brewery, Root25's growlers are perfect for out-of-state visitors staying at the Hyatt Regency or for anyone living near the Denver Tech Center. In an area that's a little lacking in the local brewery department, Root25 can fill any craft beer lover's needs with 64 oz. of take-home bliss. For those staying at the Hyatt and visiting the Tech Center for business, Root25's growlers are a great way to experience a big part of Colorado's culture from the comfort of your hotel. No need to trek up to Boulder or Ft. Collins, the Hyatt Regency has everything you'll need to experience why some call Colorado the "Napa of craft beer".
For locals, the new Root25 is the perfect mix of contemporary and classic. A new hardwood floor landing area right outside of the restaurant makes it feel like you're at a fancy Larimer Square restaurant patio. Inside has a more classic rustic feel, complete with a pool table and big screens near the bar to watch the big game. The redesigned restaurant doesn't feel like your average hotel bar and restaurant. And with a great and flavorful menu, Root25 is a must for any Denver foodie.

People feel that decisions which affect them are taken elsewhere – 'in Brussels' – where they don't understand how their countries' interests have been represented. An individual person's vote clearly has less sway in a large grouping like the EU than it has in local or national elections, but that does not mean that large groupings cannot be democratic. It means that it is harder to change their direction – but this can be a benefit in preventing politicians from trying to win short-term popularity at the expense of the wider collective interest, for example by advocating economic protectionism (3.5.4.2).
"UKIP wants Britain to regain three essential freedoms by leaving the EU: Freedom of Action… Freedom of Resources… Freedom of the People…".
The British Conservative Party saw UKIP as an electoral threat and modified its policies to include a guarantee of holding a referendum if it were elected – as was the case.
Some national politicians try to increase their power by feeding nationalist sentiments, as was the case with both UKIP and the British National Party (BNP). The BNP Election Communication for South-East England for the European Parliamentary elections on 4 June 2010, was entitled The New Battle for Britain and included such slogans as "No to EU rule and the Euro", "Yes to putting British people first"; the military flavour was enhanced by mention of "Trafalgar, The Somme, Dunkirk, D-Day, The Falklands".
"[she] seems sometimes to look out upon a continent that is positively teeming with ill- intentioned people, scheming, in her words, to "extinguish democracy", to "dissolve our national identities" and to lead us "through the back-door into a federal Europe".
As seen from the perspective of any individual country, it is not surprising that not all EU decisions are in its favour; that is the nature of any collective bargaining.
Few national politicians try to explain or defend the multinational decision-making process. For example, some British politicians suggested that Brussels was handing down "crazy" regulations without consultation; this argument was refuted by The Guardian in an article headed Is the EU really dictating the shape of your bananas?
The British government also interpreted some EU regulations in an unnecessarily restrictive fashion, and blamed Brussels for the result – as in an example quoted by The Guardian: Quote 'Daft' insurance rules cloud UK's sunny staycation trend.
Clearly, improvement is always possible, and any system will suffer from human failings, but the most difficult problem remains the need to explain that the collective benefits are worth having, that national sovereignty has been pooled not lost, that national politicians are responsible for the implementation of regulations – and that not all aspects of governance are affected.
