Chennai: A high voltage contest is on the cards when Mumbai led by ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar locks horns with Rest of India captained by India skipper Sourav Ganguly in the five-day TVS-Z R Irani Trophy match commencing on Thursday. For cricket enthusiasts here, it is more of a contest between master batsman Sachin Tendulkar and the stylish southpaw Sourav Ganguly than a clash between two teams and both will strive to win the match.
The cricket Board's decision to hold the prestigious tournament as a kick-start to the domestic first class game has gained significance now as after a gap of 10 years a full-fledged Indian side will be on view. In the recent past Ranji Trophy Champions were forced to play against second fiddle Rest of Indian teams as the top players were either not available or chose to skip the event. The five-day event also provides an ideal platform for the cricketers to book their berth for the coming Test series against New Zealand. As for the rival teams, the Ranji Champions has the unenviable task of facing up to a strong Rest of India side.
The Rest of India boasts of a strong batting line up headed by Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid and a bowling attack led by speedster Zaheer Khan and the spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, almost India's bowling attack. However, Tendulkar would be looking to maintain a clean slate, having won all the 18 matches he has captained Mumbai so far. Tendulkar expected total commitment from his young team mates and made all the Mumbai players sweat it out at the practice session on Tuesday for over four hours. He also made it clear that Mumbai would go all out for a win. "I am now talking on behalf of the Mumbai team when I say that we are here to win. We will fight all the way.
The Rest of India team is very strong, it is almost the full India side but our youngsters are here to learn a lot from this match. The whole idea is to win this important tie for Mumbai". Tendulkar's close friend, Vinod Kambli is also back in the Mumbai squad. Kambli along with Wasim Jaffer, who has been a regular in first class teams for playing visiting sides,Nishit Shetty and the other recognized batmen in the Mumbai team should perform well for posting a challenging total to Rest of India. It should be noted that Shetty had won the Ranji trophy final for Mumbai this April with a second innings hundred against Tamil Nadu.
As compared to Mumbai, the Rest of India opening pair of Virender Sehwag and Sanjay Banger should resist the quality new ball attack of Ajit Agarkar and Avishkar Salvi as well as spinner Ramesh Pawar. Sehwag opted out of the Challenger Series due to a back injury. Other top batsmen in the Rest of India line up are V V S Laxman and Yuvraj Singh.
It remains to be seen whether Harbhajan Singh who did not play the second match in the Challenger Series after being hit on his bowling hand, will be at his peak form. Rest of India is the defending champion, having defeated Railways last year at Delhi. In all counts, an interesting contest is in the offing during the next five days, with weather permitting, as the city received a few showers late on Tuesday.
Teams (from): Mumbai: Sachin Tendulkar (capt), Wasim Jaffer, Nishit Shetty, Vinod Kambli, Vinayak Mane, Bhavin Thakkar, Vinayak Samant, Ajit Agarkar, Sairaj Bahutule, Ramesh Powar, Avishkar Salvi, Nilesh Kulkarni, Swapnil Hazare, Vinit Indulkar,Robin Morris.
Rest of India: Sourav Ganguly (capt),Virender Sehwag,Sanjay Bangar, Rahul Dravid, V V S Laxman, Yuvaraj Singh,Parthiv Patel, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan,Lakshmipathi Balaji, Murali Kartik, Amit Bhandarai, Rohan Gavaskar. Umpires: Jasbir Singh and Vijay Chopra. Third umpire: S V Ramani. Match Referee: B Raghunath.

Another year has come and gone, and in my opinion, 2015 was one of the strongest in recent memory in terms of quality hard rock and metal releases. My top 10 list includes bands on the rise, veteran acts reinventing themselves and a farewell to one of the most iconic figures in rock 'n' roll. I don't expect everyone to agree with my picks, but you don't have to. It's my list, not yours. (more…)

Rural Marketing, Media Planning and Consumer Protection
According to a 2011 census, the rural population is 68.8% of the total population of India. The rural population is scattered across 6 lakh villages. Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India, is the nodal agency for rural development in India. It coordinates, implements and funds schemes which aim at ensuring that the fruits of economic development reach the villages and the common man. Marketing is the most important function for the success of any business organisation. Therefore, marketers have learnt new techniques and have become more creative. In India, rural consumers' behaviour is not always rational on account of their illiteracy, ignorance, and poverty. While buying goods and services, they are influenced mostly by personal, traditional, and psychological factors. In addition, their behaviour is also guided by those needs which are not satisfied as yet. On account of these drawbacks, they suffer heavily, and this situation can be remedied only through education and awareness. The present age is the age of advertising; their impact on consumer education and behaviour is profound. Advertisements guide the consumers in selection of goods and services, which they use in their daily life. Though the outlook of rural consumers is still largely traditional, advertisements and aggressive marketing in recent years have affected their buying behaviour considerably. This book highlights the characteristics of rural consumers in India, their buying behaviour and problems. It also examines the barriers in rural consumer education and the steps taken by public authorities to promote awareness among rural consumers.

They ask for the "variable cost flexible budget variance". This is based on VC in the Actual amounts versus the VC in the Flexible Budget based on the VC/unit in the Budget amounts.
(180,000/6,000) = 30 vc/unit
30 v/c unit * 5,000 units actual = 150,000
150,000-145,000 = 5,000
Favorable because you spent less than you would have based on the Flexible Budget.

Wish that we had spent the day doing something else instead of on a ferry or bus and saved the ruins for a different visit. Also, the ferry made some people very sea sick.

|Re: [RFC] Draft DB Commons Proposal
|Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:48:55 GMT
On Thu, 20 Feb 2003, John McNally wrote: > Can there be any objective criteria to determine whether a project is > more appropriate as a subproject of db instead of a subproject of > db-commons? > My experience with jakarta-commons is mostly positive, but the lack of > scope has troubled me.

I think some jakarta-commons components should be full > subprojects of jakarta. I think we may find it difficult to define objective criteria to that effect. Size metrics are probably a strong indicator, but not a sufficient one. For instance, the (currently sandboxed) commons-functor component in jakarta-commons currently has over 100 classes and roughly 4000 non-comment, non-blank lines of code. That may grow another 50% or more before it's proposed as for commons proper. Cactus is about the same size, maybe even a little smaller (73 classes and roughly 4000 lines of code according to the clover report) but is a jakarta subproject. To me the placement of each is appropriate, and is in part a function of the complexity, specialization and appliciablity of the individual "project". > If jakarta-commons-dbcp proposes itself as a db-commons > component and is approved. Then later poolman proposes itself as a > subproject of db, would it be appropriate to -1 based on the fact that > db-commons has declared connection pools as appropriate to its scope and > so poolman should submit itself as a component in db-commons? Personally, I think a database connection pool is about the right size for a commons component, and a little too small for a top-level subproject (and perhaps a lot too small at this time for a top- (i.e., apache-) level project). I'd encourage both poolman and dbcp, if either is to move to db-apache, to place themselves within db-commons, as I believe that both would thrive there best. That said, I don't think I'd vote -1 on poolman as a subproject of db (as opposed to a component of db-commons), but I do think I'd support someone else's right to do so (remember, it's a majority, not a consensus vote, so there is no strict veto). I believe that pool-as-component would be beneficial for that codebase, and that pool-as-project may be deterimental, but I think Sam's notion of "what the committers are willing to commit to" is the overriding principle here. One thing to keep in mind in this scenario is that a component of db-commons could at any time purpose itself for promotion(*) to a sub-project of the db project, or as a top-level ASF project, as cactus has done in jakarta-commons, and as httpclient and jelly probably should. (*) - I think "promotion" is the wrong word here, but I can't think of anything better. I'd encourage everyone to see the spectrum of apache-top-level, sub-project, or sub-project-component less as gradations of status and more as administrative details. I.e., determine which community model fits best, not how "important" you believe the code base to be. > Could we have the sandbox concept as a separate entity from db-commons? > Once a project that started in the sandbox is ready for release, it > could either propose itself to either the db pmc or directly to the > commons committers. It would make the decision on where to end up more > a function of the state of the code/community when a release is > upcoming. The default path in jakarta is from sandbox to commons proper > and since that is the easiest path, I think it is often chosen for > convenience. Other than the name "db-commons-sandbox", there's not a lot db-commons specific about the sandbox, in particular it is open to any db committer. It probably makes sense for someone to be responsible for the contents of the sandbox. As proposed (and as it works in jakarta-commons), this would be the db-commons committers. The DB PMC is the only other option that makes sense to me (short of adding a db-incubator type of project). I'm currently on both lists, so either way doesn't have much impact on me (or, more accurately, either way has the same impact on me), so I'm having trouble coming up with a strong opinion on the matter. The general point of "sometimes it may be more appropriate for a component to move from the sandbox to a standalone sub-project" is one I would agree with. Perhaps it's simply a matter of making this option clear and accessible to [sandbox] component developers.

I moved into a new home, and a new music studio of course, and had no safe place for my AX-Synth so I got the ST-AX and love it. Wish I'd purchased this years ago. It's so functional, sturdy, and I love the beautiful way it displays my AX.

2005 Nissan Pathfinder SUV SE Off Road 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
The issue is quality and reliability. Our time owning this vehicle was beleaguered with numerous mechanical problems, break-downs, recalls and quality issues. The vehicle had chronic fuel pump and fuel sender failures (Google and read owner blogs). This resulted in the fuel gauge not working or fuel pump failing altogether. Fuel pump issues left us stranded twice (towed to dealer both times). We replaced the sender and fuel pump 3 times while owning. We had ball bearing and CV issues in the front end. We had the car battery explode once, leaving my wife stranded (towed to dealer again). We had the transmission slip out of drive a few times and one time out of 4WD while pulling the boat out on a ramp. The ECM (electronic control module) had to be fix/replace twice. The sliding moon roof rode off its track, became jammed and had to be completely replaced. The back lift gate pistons failed to keep the back gate open. The cargo board liner came undone (I fixed myself), passenger cup holders broke off (poorly placed by design). Styling molding covers on the roof rack came off on the highway. The banding on the exhaust heat shields rusted away resulting in a metallic rattle between the exhaust pipes and heat shielding which require re-banding (I fixed myself). The underbody shows far too much rust development for a modern make, this made me concerned about the vehicles long term handling of underbody rust. 2nd row passenger AC/heat control buttons kept coming off. The paint chips and scratches easily. The interior plastics are soft, also scratch easily and the lighter tone plastics are hard to clean. The font bumper cover cracked and tore pushing through a snow drift.
2005 Pathfinder along with its successive model years is a sporty looking, rugged and capable off road vehicle. We liked the looks, versatility, 7 PAX seating, towing capability and off road performance. Like many that choose to own SUVs we have several children, like to drive on the beach, like to get around regardless of weather conditions and pull a boat and jet skis during the summer months. The Pathfinder fits these needs well in an overall nice package.
Ride quality is lack luster. The truck resonates road noise while driving at any speed. Engine has a high rev/snarling during acceleration. The engine causes light interference in the radio speakers which makes a slight whine when the sound system is not on, this is distracting and annoying for front occupants. The cloth seats fray along the edged stitching near the doors. They dont come apart but it makes the seats look very worn prematurely. When 4WD is engaged (high or low), truck lacks the refinement in 4WD/AWD engineering. When in 4WD the engine rev increases significantly even at idle, steering becomes considerably more harsh to manage, if you get stuck the limited slip differential/traction control actually make getting unstuck more difficult. The Pathfinder feels clumsy and handles poorly in city driving conditions.

To all those who have had the infamous transmission/radiator issues, I just received a letter in the mail from Nissan saying that while they are not creating a reacall for it, they are extending the warranty on the vehicle to cover this issue.
They are extending the warranty to 96 months or 80K miles. While this is not the perfect solution, it should help a large number of owners.
To those who already had to pay for a repair for this, it sounds like you will be able to get reimbursed for it.
Hopefully you all will be receiving your letters shortly.
While my 2005 Pathfinder has not yet had this issue, I just wanted to pass on the somewhat good news.
Strong V6, and so far it has been a reliable vehicle. Granted my '05 only has 45K miles, but so far so good.
Relatively boring interior design.
2005 Nissan Pathfinder SUV SE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I bought this really good Nissan Pathfinder SE, but 5 years later I regreted it. Just when I was done financing this car and when the warranty was done, the car broke down and I had to bring the car to a friend who inspects and fixes cars. He inspected it and said the "water boxe's" water went into the transmissioner and they had to fix it and they gave me a crappy 2002 Honda Accord. After 2 weeks, I got my car back. (Yesterday) And I paid him $4700 dollars and I drove her home. But at 4:00, I went to wash the car and clean the engine but when I saw the transmissioner and the water box, I saw that nothing was replaced or anything. It was all the same. So I just wasted $4700 for nothing.
Now I know never to buy Nissan again!
2005 Nissan Pathfinder SUV SE Off Road 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Vehicle has plenty of power and is fun off-road and in the snow.
Downsides are the door handles on rear doors are mounted to high for kids to use - plan on opening doors for them until they are about 7yrs old.
3rd row seating is ok for kids and adults the size of kids.
Fuel sensor and window switches fail ealry-on.
On many pathfinders the radiators are defective and leak coolant into the tranmission.
Plan an extra $6500 for trany/radiator replacement.
Get ext warranty and sell vehicle as soon as warranty runs out.
Vehicle is fun to drive on and off-road and in wet and snowy conditions.
Use external transmission cooler. Mount door handles lower for rear doors. Kids under 7 cannot open doors on their own due to height and angle placement of door latches.
2005 Nissan Pathfinder SUV SE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Purchased in July, 2010 with 82k miles on it from dealership without knowing what issues the vehicle had. After reading all the reviews I took preemptive measures and replaced the radiator myself, $200. Evap code tripped on the way home from dealership same day of purchase. Took evap canister out, found out a tab holding the evap valve in place was insufficient and zip tied the crud out of it and haven't had a problems with it. According to carfax report the fuel sender had already been replaced. Haven't had an issue with it since, but transmission has always made a small clacking noise when it makes its first shift after start-up, hope this is normal.
After test driving some other suvs, this one seemed the most car like and didn't feel heavy. The suspension is completely independent, so I attribute the handling to that. Seats are comfortable and the power is ridiculous for a V-6. Sunroof and 4x4 are nice. We put premium non-ethanol fuel in it and average 17-18 in town about 20-22 on the highway. We were putting the low grade crud in it and could only get 16 at best in town and 18 highway. By changing to the best fuel we actually save money. Strange how that works. Overall, I like the car a lot.
The third row is basically pointless, but would work if really needed. I would not suggest this for an avid third row user. Heads up display would be nice, as would the radio staying on after ignition is off. And auto door locks would be a huge improvement. Our 2000 Pontiac grand prix had all these options and were nice.

Chelsea's highly-rated academy product Tammy Abraham has revealed he first heard he had been called up to the England Under-21s side while watching television.
The 18-year-old received his first call-up to Aidy Boothroyd's squad last week after his 11 goals for Bristol City, where he is spending the season on loan at, led to the forward being named as the Championship Player of the month for August and September.
Abraham could now feature for England U21s in their upcoming Euro qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Bosnia & Herzegovina and, ahead of those games, the teenager revealed that his call-up to the squad came as a total surprise.
"I heard it first on Sky Sports News and I was buzzing," Abraham said about how he first was informed of his place in Boothroyd's 22-man squad.
"I was just sitting there and I heard it. I had this big smile on my face, I was so excited.
"Gareth Southgate and Aidy Boothroyd get together and are responsible to picking the squad, but I didn't know anything about it until I heard it on TV.
"I was over the moon and phoned my Mum and Dad straight away to share the news with them. They were delighted."
Abraham is one of a number of Chelsea players to be included in the England U21 squad, alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathaniel Chalobah and Lewis Baker.
Abraham admitted that just being part of Boothroyd's side is an honour, but revealed he is now aiming to follow up his call-up by making his England U21 debut this week.
"Hopefully, I'll get some minutes on the field, but just going there is a great experience for me," he said. "To be named in the squad along with a few of the other boys from Chelsea gives me a good feeling about myself."

Our First Cruise- Carnival "Destiny"
Sail Date: March 12, 2011
Reviewed: 6 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Basically all they got was a nice cake which was very good, 2 bottles of champagne, and the Jamiacan preacher who came on board and married them. He too was very nice.
But the original wedding planner did not communicate very much and it wasn't until the late night before the wedding that we found out any of the details, time, location, etc from the nice lady that took over as she was shocked no one had provided any of that to the wedding couple so she had to scramble to get it all put together which kind of stressed the wedding couple some.
The Asian female photgrapher was awesome and worked very hard to put together a nice photo package. We all had fun with her. The photo packages however were wayyy too expensive. Ridiculously so and it took us 3 hours to get one put together. She worked hard thought and at 11:30 pm on the night before debark, the kids had all their pics in the album.
Debarkation was unbelievably easy !
We were on the 6th deck and prbly in the first 10 people to leave the ship as we chose Self Assist debark where you take you own luggage off. We had two backpacks and a decent size pull behind suitcase. They called all decks that were self carrying to proceed and we literally walked to the elevator, down 3 floors and right off the ship.
We had already gotten on the Alamo bus and had gone to the airport and rented a car to drive to Ft. Myers, before the other 4 in our party had ever left the ship, as they chose the other method where you sit your luggage outside your room and they process it through. The trick with self assist is get up early and be ready as soon as that annoucement starts to walk out of your room within 3 seconds of the announcement starting. We sat watching tv ready to go with out door propped open so we could hear the announcement.
Since this was our first cruise, we had nothing to compare to except one couple in our party said their previous cruises were better, but we all had a great time and look forward to taking more in the future.
They did try to be accomodating for the wedding for what was provided and kept providing wedding cake for desert the rest of the trip.
Smoking in the casino is a defnite turn off.
Because of spring break timing, we paid too much for this trip but at the normal pricing thruout the year or deals, it would be well worth it.
We want to try Royal Caribbean but until then, we would probably cruise Carnival Again. Even the Carnival Destiny Ship.
We all talked about how this seemed like a slave ship as they pay their staff nothing and worked them to death. We all don't see how any of the staff can be so friendly with the long long long hard hours they work and for the little pay they get but yet they always have a smile on their faces.
Pros: Balcony room size cabin #6247- Bed was comfy-Waitress at evening dinner- Cabin Steward-
Cons: Flat Iron Steaks made one of us sick- Smoking allowed in Casino- Alcohol prices- Young kids all over and the Spring Breakers.
Recommends Carnival Destiny (RETIRED) 28? Yes!

|Food and Dining
Overall the food quality was good. Not the best we ever had but certainly not the worst. The flat iron steaks tasted funny and one of us in our party of 6 got sick that night and was sick for a day and half.
We all thought the grill, NewYork deli , and Sea View Restaurant served good food. Burgers were good, Gourmet Hot Dogs were great !, and the Corned beef in the deli was good. Breakfast buffets were plentiful. Good pancakes, runny grits sometimes. Omlets were very good. Coffee not that great.
Our dining room was the "Universal DiningRoom" in the rear of the ship and we were on the upper deck in the back. Lots of vibration at that table # 565 each time we dined.
The food in this dining room wasn't really eye popping though. Jerk chicken was good, soups were good, rib beef was great. Steaks not so good.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|Our Stateroom was fine and plenty large enough. We were surprised at that. Plenty of room for all our stuff. Another couple with us however had bad luck as their shower drain plugged and flooded their room and their phone also did not work so they could not call anyone, including room service.
|Service and Staff
All ship staff was very friendly and they always spoke to us whenever and whomever we passed. Our Cabin Steward, Devon, was a nice guy and would try to get us whatever we needed and we would joke with him and have a good time. Again All staff everywhere we went were very nice.
Our Waitress Franciska from Indonesia was absolutely fabulous. She was soooo sweet and would talk with us. We all wished we could take her home. Very Very accomdating.
|The entertainment on the ship was accomodating and a good time was had by all.

|Pretty cool. Walked around and shopped and spent the day drinking beer and eating chicken on 7mile public beach! Had a blast and the "chicken on a stick" truck is awesome. The jerk chicken in the beachbar was aweseom too.

London, Mar 16 (UNI) Wonder why most of the Indian men drool over sparkling complexioned Katrina Kaif with wavy locks, while girls crave for wild and tanned Akshay Kumar.
It's the fair maiden of myth that provides a basis in scientific reality! According to new research, experts looking into attractiveness in men and women suggested that men of all races were subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned women, while women were more drawn to dark-complexioned men.
Cutting across different reaces, the attraction was driven by preferences based on moral assumptions.
Men were subconsciously attracted to fairer skin because of its association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness.
Women are attracted to men with darker complexions because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.
In an analysis of more than 2,000 advertising photographs of men and women, the researchers found that the skin of white women was 15.2 per cent lighter than the skin of white males, and the skin of black women 11.1 per cent lighter than the skin of black men.
''The research shows that our aesthetic preferences operate to reflect moral preferences. Within our cultures we have a set of ideals about how women should look and behave. Lightness and darkness have particular meanings attached to them and we subconsciously relate those moral preferences to women,'' the Independent quoted researcher Shyon Baumann as saying.
Many judgements about beauty are made at a conscious level, such as about height, weight, leg length, and the shape of the nose and the mouth.
The findings explain the meanings that lightness and darkness have in cultures and highlight the links between moral and aesthetic judgements.
However, there also exists an appreciation for a darker complexion in women that appears to coexist with a view of such women as more overtly sexual, Dr Baumann said.

Nice phones not just for DJs!
Great pair of cans for the studio, live, listening to just about any source of audio. Very much impressed with the audio quality for a very very reasonably priced set of headphones. Will be planning to add more to the studio to replace some out of date and inferior cans I use now. Behringer...always great quality and great price. Never been disappointed.

Red Witch Empress Chorus Pedal
Chorus-Vibrato Guitar Effects Pedal
Product Description for the Red Witch Empress Chorus Pedal
"The Empress is a three-dimensional modulation machine, and when you couple its vast array of sounds with absolutely wicked construction – and some cool graphics – you've got one of the drippiest sounding chorus/vibrato pedals ever made." (Guitar Player, May 2008, Empress Chorus)
Not just any ordinary analog chorus/Vibe pedal.........
The Empress offers unparalleled chorus options; an infinite number of analog chorus/vibe devices in one box...
Her most enticing feature is the unique voicing control;
This dial allows you to access virtually any chorus sound you could desire! It changes the delay time – it's on a pot so you've got an infinite number of chorus pedals in one box – from super spanky sparkling clean to noisy, sea-sick inducing, pitch bending wobble.
We've designed a circuit that lets you adjust the delay time via a potentiometer – from one extreme to the other and everything in between. In it's most extreme settings the device will produce some hiss – this would be expected within the last third of the voicing controls sweep.
- Pedal Type : Chorus
- Inputs : 1 x Instrument
- Outputs : 2 x 1/4"
- Power Supply Included : No
- Batteries : 1 x 9V

The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and
avoidance, progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. It is dedicated to teaching both women and men defensive concepts

Apple Keyboard Stories August 18, 2015
Apple Keyboard Stories March 25, 2015
As someone who uses his iPad for email and writing as much as for media consumption, I'm a big fan of physical keyboards. My current favorites are the ClamCase Pro and Brydge, each of which offers a near-Macbook quality moving keyboard.
But if you've ever been deterred by the bulk or weight of a full moving keyboard, the Libre – a new iPad Air/2 keyboard case that launched yesterday on Kickstarter – may be worth a look. The keyboard itself is just 5mm thick and weighs only 200g, yet manages to squeeze in a backlight and the ability to switch between up to three devices. I've been using a prototype version for the past few days … expand full story
Apple Keyboard Stories September 1, 2014
There are a few companies that make skins specifically for Apple's keyboards to add icons for the various shortcuts that pros use daily in apps like Logic Pro and Final Cut. I've tried a few in the past, but the benefits never seemed to outweigh the tradeoff of putting a clunky rubber skin over Apple's masterfully built keyboard. The latest Logic keyboard I received in for review from EditorsKeys, however, has actually won me over and proven up to the task of permanently replacing my stock Apple keyboard. expand full story
Apple Keyboard Stories September 9, 2012
We recently reviewed one of our favorite keyboard solutions for the iPad, Logitech's Ultrathin iPad Keyboard Cover. However, we have seen a few new competitors since then. Most notably: ZAGG's new KeysPRO line, which we were able to get our hands on at IFA last month. The ZAGGKeys PRO caught our eye with its backlit keys, rugged build quality and battery life of up to three weeks at eight hours a day. It has potential to become the go-to iPad keyboard when it goes on sale at the end of the month (full review on the way), but one keyboard recently released already has it beat, at the very least, on battery life…
Logitech's new Solar Keyboard Folio for iPad 2 and 3 comes with one impressive claim: the ability to type for two hours a day for two years on a full charge…even in the dark. That claim combined with a solid Logitech keyboard similar to what we're used to from the company's past iPad products, we essentially get solar power and a folio-style case added to the Ultrathin Keyboard cover for an extra $30.
I have had long enough since its release to put it to the test and have a couple of thoughts:
Apple Keyboard Stories August 26, 2012
We often get review items that do not merit their own review for a variety of reasons. Some might have gotten to us late after we have already read reviews, while others might be smaller niche items or some bigger ticket items that might not have blown us away, but they are still interesting nonetheless. Still, we think these guys are all noteworthy…

I'm not posting here as frequently as I used to because I am at the mercy of my newborn son's feeding schedule. I never truly appreciated the term "working mother" until I was charged with taking care of a newborn. The fact is, ALL mothers are working, whether they have jobs outside the home or not. Breastfeeding a colickly one-month old is probably the most demanding job I've ever had. It's hard work, for sure, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
What has made the past week or so infinitely more interesting is the fact I had a tight deadline to return rewrites to a publisher of one of my novels. I had less than a week to turn around a complete rewrite, newborn or no newborn. You wouldn't believe all the crazy tricks I had to devise in order to meet that deadline. Among them:
- Using one hand to hold baby while he nurses, using the other hand to type (not recommended)
- Wearing baby in a Snugli while standing up at an ironing board, which places laptop at waist level for easy typing (not recommended for more than 30 minutes at a stretch—back pain!)
- Putting baby in bouncy seat just to left of computer desk, using foot to bounce baby while leaving both hands free to type (this usually works for about half an hour, then baby gets bored)
- Sacrificing all opportunities for my own sleep by using baby's naptimes to write (this is what I did the most)
Needless to say, I'm exhausted.

Budget Hotels in Wales
About Wales
Although the train service between England and Wales is not bad, renting a car can be quite comfortable and cheap, in contrast to the exorbitantly priced train tickets. Also, the best places to visit in Wales are not exactly in the city centre. So it is best to drive down to Wales. And trust me, the drive certainly comes with many perks. You will literally drive right through the distinct countryside of Wales.ITINERARYSKANDA WALESNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK

On Facebook, Profiles are personal. PAGES are for Business
The CORRECT way to register an account on Facebook is in your personal name. To register an account in your business name is against Facebook's Terms of Use.
I'm going on a wee rant here! Sure, it's true you don't know what you don't know. But sometimes I think people are chancing their luck.
See, I just received my umpteenth friend request… from someone who set up a Facebook Profile in their business name. Actually, worse, it's in the name of a huge international MLM company. I'll bet you a dime to a dollar this account has been set up by an independent rep. BIG no-no. Probably in breach of the company rules too, not just Facebook's.
I totally get it's not all that clear!!! However, Facebook PROFILES are for your own personal account in your first and last name. In order to represent your business on its own "profile" in Facebook, you must set up a Facebook PAGE. Yep, confusing! However, that's why I'm writing this post – to hopefully educate those folks who aren't clear.
See Facebook's Terms of Use – emphasis added by me:
If you're in business for yourself, I highly recommend you set up a Facebook PAGE. You may already have a Group as well. And, that's okay. One of the primary reasons I recommend getting started with a Facebook Page is you'll enjoy high Google ranking! Facebook currently has an Alexa ranking of 7.
Facebook used to create Page URL's with your Page ID#. Now, they include the keywords from the title of your business. Good or good?
That way, more people can find you online. You're welcome to be a Fan of my Page.
By the way, if you receive friend requests from Businesses, I recommend you ignore them. If you're feeling helpful, you could take the time to send them a message and point them to the Facebook Terms of Service (or my blog post here!).
And, in case it's not obvious, you don't want to do something against Facebook's Terms of Use, and build up an active high-trafficked Profile in the name of your business… only to have it torn down by Facebook, right? May as well start on the right footing with a business Page.

During the Kansas City Chiefs 56-31 romp over the Oakland Raiders, RB Jamaal Charles totaled 215 scrimmage yards (195 receiving, 20 rushing) and five touchdowns (four receiving, one rushing).
FIVE touchdowns! Why oh why didn't I start Jamaal on my NFL RUSH Fantasy Football team?
You do that; you get AFC Player of the Week. No two ways about it. Congratulations Charles!
Leave us a comment and tell us if you did, or did not, have Jamaal Charles in your NFL RUSH Fantasy Football lineup.
Charles became the first player in NFL history with at least four touchdown receptions and one touchdown run in a single game, and his five total touchdowns are tied for the fourth-most in a game in league history and just one shy of the record.

We thank Dr. Kennedy and his colleagues1 for their comments regarding the level of sedation during endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA).2 The use of propofol and a laryngeal mask airway is certainly an additional option available to the bronchoscopist. It is important to remember, though, that there is currently no proof that any level of anesthesia deeper than moderate sedation is required for performing the procedure. This applies for the goal of the procedure (full staging vs targeted biopsy) as much as for the level of experience. Even though we agree that general anesthesia may make it easier especially for the relatively inexperienced operator, some issues require consideration before asking the anesthesiologist to provide deep sedation or general anesthesia for a patient.
Part of the advantage of EBUS TBNA is the ease and minimal patient impact compared with surgical staging, as well as the potential economic advantage. Deeper levels of sedation may partially negate these advantages by adding additional personnel and requiring operating room-type facilities in some institutions. An additional drawback to adding more resources that really are probably not required is the recent severe reimbursement cutback on the facility-based reimbursement (Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System) for EBUS TBNA procedures by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in January 2008.3 We need to choose the best approach for our patients but need to manage and minimize the resource use at the same time.

The Snake Flag Conspiracy(1976)
(Book 107 in the Killmaster series)
A novel by Nick Carter
The KGB was planning to wreck the U.S. economy by forcing the biggest banks to dump all their stocks at the same time. A plant in one of Boston's old-money families, and the manipulation of their vast financial power, would trigger total economic collapse. Agent N3 had to discover the identity of the phony Brahmin and make his sudden death look like an accident before the collapse began.

Zambezi Reporters - Hong Kong billionaire is giving $180,000,000 to any man willing to marry his daughter
Chinese businessman, Cecil Chao, made his billions developing luxury high rises in Hong Kong.
He is desperately seeking any man to try and woo his daughter into marrying him.
"He is known for making outlandish statements such as the time he was quoted by the Hong Kong media for saying he had bedded over 10,000 women in his lifetime."
Most famous of all his public announcements was in 2012 when he offered $60,000,000 USD in the form of a "dowry" (which is a parental transfer of money or property) to whichever man could turn his daughter straight.
He came back in 2014 upping the ante to $120,000,000 USD. And now he's back to say the bounty is now $180,000,000 to who ever can get the job done.
Hong Kong billionaire is giving $180,000,000 to any man willing to marry his daughter
The way I'm looking at it is like this I can get a non stop flight from Texas to Hong Kong on American Airlines for $1,561, or try Hong Kong's own airline Cathay Pacific for $1,699. If I wanted to save a few bucks I saw some connecting flights on United and Delta Airlines for right around $1,000. That's approximately 120,000 – 180,000 times your money.
I don't think anything in life really offered you that type of return on your investment, and if all else fails well I know I've spent $1,000 on dumber things before.
May the best man win!

Tuesday, September 27th, 2016 | 16 min read
In 2014, Apple touched hearts across the world with one of its most moving holiday ads. The tech company created a short video that told the story of a young woman who remastered her grandmother's music into a duet for Christmas. While the ad was broadcast on TV and posted to YouTube, it made the biggest impact on Facebook. In just a week, the Facebook video gained over 20 million views, 200,000 likes, 9,000 comments and 28,000 shares.
There were a few key reasons for the impressive numbers: Facebook's massive user-base of 1.7 billion people, Facebook's autoplay setup, Apple's high-quality content, and the fact that the video was sponsored.
By putting money behind their Facebook posts, marketers can more effectively reach target audiences, generate leads, and drive purchases. This can be particularly valuable during the holidays when customers are rushing to buy gifts for friends, family, and coworkers. In fact, a 2015 Facebook study found that during the holidays, there was a 71% increase in same-day purchase rates and a 190% increase in ad engagement.
Facebook also continues to change its algorithm to make posts from friends and family more visible than posts from brands and publishers. This means that organic reach might not cut it anymore. In order to see engagement, advertisers are opting to sponsor their posts and scale their messaging. Perhaps that's part of why digital ad spending is expected to overtake TV ad spending by the end of 2016. As eMarketer reported, Facebook is a huge part of this trend and leads the largest category of ad spend: display or desktop advertising.
So, whether you're promoting holiday sales, contests, giveaways, or gift ideas, Facebook ads can help you reach the right people at the right time.
Here's everything you need to know to make the most of your Facebook ads this holiday season.
There are a variety of Facebook ad types, which can be selected based on your content format and, most importantly, your campaign objectives.
Generate brand awareness among holiday shoppers by posting an eye-catching photo, complete with an engaging caption and headline. You can either create your own ad from scratch or simply boost a photo you've already published on your Page. For instance, you might sponsor a glossy image from a product gallery, a festive holiday graphic, or a promotion for your seasonal sale.
To make your posts most shareable, Facebook recommends using an image size of 1200 x 628 pixels and a caption of 90 characters.
Promote a video post to share longer and more engaging stories with your target audience. Maybe you want to demonstrate how a certain holiday gift works, share stories from happy customers, or offer an inside look at your holiday celebrations. Video ads provide a great way to generate brand awareness, boost an already published post, or get viewers interested in your in-depth holiday message.
In 2014, LOT Polish Airlines launched its #KISSaLOT campaign, encouraging people all over the world to kiss under the mistletoe—the mistletoe hanging on each of its planes, that is. People on the ground could track when flights were overhead by visiting the company's Fan page, which announced each plane's location using data from Google Maps and LOT's own tracking system.
Individual Facebook video ads also targeted people living in cities on the planes' routes. They were scheduled to launch at the moment the plane passed by, so viewers could get ready to pucker up.
In just a couple of days, buzz from the campaign generated more than €300,000 worth of free media, sending people from over 90 countries to LOT's website.
Facebook carousel ads allow marketers to place "up to 10 images and/or videos, headlines and links, or calls to action in a single ad." These ads are interactive in that viewers can swipe through the content based on their interests.
This unique format gives advertisers an opportunity to showcase a variety of holiday gifts, break down the features of a single product, tell a comic book-style story, or even create one long, panoramic image.
Add hyperlinks to your ad creative and direct users to take a specific action, like signing up for your newsletter or visiting your online store. Since customers will be bombarded with ads during the holiday season, you want to make it easy for them to learn more about your brand and make a purchase. Link to your holiday catalogue, for instance, or to a special checkout page where they can enter an exclusive offer code.
Facebook lead ads are Facebook's most powerful tool for generating leads. They let you include a form with your ad so you can collect important information from your customers with ease. Since the forms pre-populate with a user's name, email, and phone number, all they have to do is tap "Submit."
Lead ads can also be customized to fit your needs. Marketers can choose from six call-to-action buttons as well as a variety of open-ended or multiple-choice questions. During the holidays, you might use lead ads to invite customers to register for an event or party, sign up for an exclusive offer, or receive a price estimate on a big gift.
Dynamic product ads are Facebook's version of re-targeted ads. They can automatically target customers based on products they've already viewed and actions they've taken on your website or app. Dynamic ads also save you time from creating individual ads for your products and audiences, and they add a personal touch to your messaging. A customer might have a cart full of potential holiday gifts on your website, but they haven't checked out yet. You can help finish the sale by sending a friendly reminder about the products they're interested in.
If you've worked hard to build an app that enhances the user experience, then you'll want to make it as easy as possible for people to download that app. Perhaps your app simplifies the buying process or makes a great companion for your products. With mobile app ads, you can promote your app to your target audience and drive engagements, downloads, and purchases.
If you simply want to generate awareness and encourage target users to Like your Facebook Page, this is the tool to help you do it. Page like ads can be especially helpful during the holidays if you're running a special contest or giveaway for your Facebook community and followers.
Local awareness ads can help you reach people near your business. They are a good fit for brands that want to drive foot traffic to their stores. Through Facebook's advanced targeting capabilities, you can reach just right people who live or shop near your retail locations.
By implementing call-to-action buttons like "Call Now" or "Get Directions," it's also easy to let customers know about new store locations, holiday sales, special events, and local promotions.
During the holidays, brands pull out all the stops—and that includes launching special offers and seasonal deals. With offer claims ads, you can share your coupons and promotions directly with people on Facebook, where they're already scrolling and consuming content.
Maybe you're inspiring new customers with buy-one-get-one offers or $10 off their first order. Shutterfly, for example, shared a promotion code for 20% off of select products before December 5.
If you don't have the time or budget to create full-fledged videos, slideshow ads provide a solid alternative. These ads are 5-15 seconds long and feature 3-7 images in sequence. They're video-like in format, but since they're only composed of still images, they use less data and load faster than regular video ads.
To create slideshow ads, marketers can simply choose images from their Page, upload new images, or search Facebook's stock photo library. They can also choose one of their videos and ask Facebook to pull stills from there. With the visuals in place, marketers can then add audio or text overlays.
Similar to carousel ads, slideshow ads are a great tool for highlighting multiple products, telling an engaging story, or even promoting a video. During the holidays, for instance, a brand might create a slideshow ad that features gift ideas for each member of the family.
Canvas ads invite marketers to create full-screen, interactive ads just for mobile. They can include a mix of video, images, text, and call-to-action buttons, resulting in an immersive multimedia experience.
Here's an example of what a Canvas ad might look like:
Since this is a relatively new tool, the door is still wide open for businesses to make their mark and experiment with different strategies. This holiday season, we might see brands find new ways to promote their catalogues and interact with consumers through Canvas ads. Perhaps your brand will be one of them.
Facebook provides an array of tools to help marketers generate leads from their ads. Let's take a look at some of the biggest ones.
Through Facebook Ads Manager and Power Editor, you can target users by location, age, gender, interests, behaviors, device, and connections (people who like your Page or app). You can also create Custom Audiences by uploading your own contact lists, and Lookalike Audiences of people who are similar to your most engaged customers.
Just for the holidays, you can even target holiday shoppers from Thanksgiving through to New Year's Day. Facebook does this by identifying users who engage with holiday shopping content, such as posts about Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
If you're not sure where to start with your targeting, Facebook recommends mining your customer databases to understand the audience segments and demographics of last year's holiday buyers. Then, you can use targeting capabilities to reach those buyers again or connect with people similar to those buyers.
If you've already launched ads on Facebook, use the Audience Insights tool to better understand your customers and their purchase behavior. With this information, you can more effectively target these users and create ads that will appeal to their interests.
Conversion tracking pixels are small snippets of code that you can plant in the backend of your web pages. They help you track specific actions that users might take after viewing your ad. For instance, a Facebook user might see your ad, click on it, go to your website, make a purchase, and be presented with a confirmation page. You can plant your pixel on the confirmation page so you know when you've converted a customer. From there, you can target people similar to your buyers or retarget people who didn't make a purchase.
Facebook offers a variety of metrics to help you gauge performance and optimize your ads. These include engagements, impressions, and cost per result. Based on which ad you run, you'll be able to see other metrics such as video views, link clicks, and forms submitted. You can also narrow down your analytics by demographic, so you know which targeting strategies are working and which need to be scrapped or fine-tuned.
As of this summer, Facebook even allows marketers to track in-store visits and sales through through the new "store visits" metric and Offline Conversions API, which matches transaction data from their customer database to Facebook Ads reports. This is particularly helpful for optimizing local awareness ads, which are built to drive foot traffic to brick-and-mortar retail locations, and can provide a serious boost to your holiday sales quota.
According to Facebook, mobile plays a part in 45% of shopping journeys today. More specifically, millennials, moms, and multicultural US shoppers drove 81% of all mobile purchases last holiday season. If marketers want to reach these growing groups of mobile consumers, it's crucial that they optimize their ads formats, websites, and creative for mobile and audiences on the go.
This means ensuring that your images and videos translate to smaller screens, and improving the loading times of your pages. Remember that consumers have plenty of choices when making their holiday purchases. A lagging website could be enough to send them off to check out your competitors.
If you're looking to run dynamic product ads and retarget consumers across devices, you'll need to prepare your product catalog for Facebook's ad platform. As Facebook notes, product catalogues contain "a list of products you want to advertise, their availability, product URL, image URL and other product attributes." Don't waste valuable time assembling this information in the thick of holiday shopping season. Get it ready now so your brand doesn't miss a beat.
Before you even launch your holiday ads, you might want to test different content and ad formats with your target audiences. For instance, launch small video and photo ad campaigns to see which format your customers respond to most; test a few different calls-to-action to see which gets the most clicks; and check to see if your loyal customers respond best to one ad type, while new customers engage with another.
By testing your ads now, you can better understand what type of creative each demographic responds to, and then you can double down on those ads when it matters most.
With a wealth of content formats, targeting options, and lead generation tools, Facebook remains one of the most dynamic options out there for brands that want to launch social ads. It's also hosted a variety of successful holiday campaigns from large and small businesses alike.
Whether you're looking to promote a festive video, share offers for special discounts, or drive customers to your online store, Facebook has the resources to help you meet your goals this holiday season.
