The Boston Consulting Group Summer Internship Program
The name may sound local, but The Boston Consulting Group's
reach-and expertise-is anything but. With over 12,000 employees in
85 offices in 48 countries, the firm ranks as one of America's
Largest Private Companies, according to Forbes magazine.
Clients typically include many of the world's 500 largest
companies, but BCG also counts midsized businesses, nonprofit
organizations and government agencies in North and South America,
Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australia among its clients. The
firm's consultants-who have included notables such as Indra Nooyi,
CEO of Pepsi; Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric; Jim Koch,
founder, CEO and Brewmaster of Boston Beer Company; Sally Blount,
dean of the Kellogg School of Management; Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu; and Grammy Award winner John Legend-are experts
in a number of industries, including consumer goods, retail,
financial services, industrial goods, social impact and nonprofit,
energy, health care, insurance, technology, media, and
The firm helps clients with a number of specific management
needs within its broad functional practice areas, such as growth
strategy development and execution; business portfolio management;
mergers and acquisitions; postmerger integration; productivity and
efficiency improvement; marketing and pricing; supply chain
management; IT infrastructure; customer and supplier relationship
management; sustainability; turnaround; and private equity, among
other services.
The Henderson legacy
BCG was founded in 1963 by Bruce D. Henderson, a former Bible
salesman and Harvard B-school dropout. Challenged by the CEO of The
Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company to form a consulting arm
for the organization, Henderson responded with an aggressive
strategy. While his first month's billings amounted to $500 and his
office had a staff of just two by the end of his first year in
business, Henderson's subsequent success is impossible to deny-and
it was driven largely by expansion. In 1966, BCG became the first
Western strategy consulting outfit in Japan, and a string of
offices throughout Europe soon followed. By 1976, half of the
firm's revenue was being generated outside the U.S.-a year after
Henderson laid out a plan for employee stock ownership that saw the
firm fully owned by BCGers in 1979. Such was Henderson's reputation
within the business world that, following his death in 1992, no
less a publication than the Financial Times wrote that
"few people have had as much impact on international business in
the second half of the twentieth century as the founder of The
Boston Consulting Group."
In 1998, BCG established the Strategy Institute, a sort of
consulting think tank set up to apply insights from a variety of
disciplines to the strategic challenges facing both business and
society. Among the concepts developed by the firm over the years
are the experience curve (which charts improvements in efficiency
as experience is amassed), time-based competition (an approach that
recognizes speed as an essential component of success), disease
management (an approach to patient care that takes a more systemic
view of quality and costs than traditional approaches), richness
versus reach (the trade-off inherent in the economics of
information), trading up and trading down (consumer spending
phenomena) and globality (the post-globalization era in which
everyone from everywhere competes for everything).
Not the stuff of fairytales
Perhaps the innovation that the firm is best known for, however,
is its growth-share matrix. While a tool that utilizes images such
as cows, stars and dogs might sound fanciful, the matrix is one
serious piece of business methodology-and one that has become a
core tool used by businesses the world over. A graphic
representation of a firm's money flow, the growth-share matrix
divides a company's assets into four categories-the three mentioned
previously, plus question marks. While a full description of the
methodology is available on BCG's website, the basic meaning of
each category is as follows: a cow represents a "cash cow," a
low-growth, high-market share pursuit (generally the bread and
butter of any business); a star is an enterprise that both uses and
generates a lot of money, usually on the way to achieving cow
status; a dog tends to be labor-intensive but provides little
return on investment; and question marks are to be avoided at all
costs-basically representing money pits that absorb resources but
produce little revenue.
Falling in line
While many of BCG's consultants come from some of the best
business schools in the world-including the University of Chicago,
Harvard, INSEAD, Kellogg, Stanford and Wharton-not everyone working
at the firm has a business background. A number of consultants have
degrees that range from economics, biochemistry and engineering, to
psychology, classics and law.
Whatever their background, the firm organizes its brainpower
into formal practice areas, which include the functional and
industry areas listed above, as well as timely issues such as
managing through the downturn, cloud computing, megatrends,
operational transformation and turnaround, sustainability and
talent management.
PTO: Not just an acronym
It's no secret that life in a top-tier consuIting firm can be
stressful, and that dealing with hours can be one of the hardest
aspects for consultants to deal with. To address the challenges of
the job, BCG partnered with Harvard Business School in the creation
of its PTO (Predictability, Teaming, and Open Communication)
program, which it debuted in 2005. Since then the firm has rolled
this out across U.S. Systems, launched worldwide, and it is now in
every BCG office. According to the firm, "PTO is now a fundamental
BCG People Platform, used to drive business priorities at case
level, driving client value, while giving our employees a sense of
control and accomplishment. This program recognizes that a
satisfying, sustainable career at BCG is about more than minimizing
hours-it is also when you have personal control, purpose and
Paying it forward
BCG is big on being good. Its social impact practice network,
which functions like one of the firm's formal practice areas, works
with clients on socially conscious issues, including public health,
education, community and economic development, environmental
preservation, hunger, and arts and culture. The network chose its
focus areas based on the UN Millennium Development Goals, which set
targets for combating poverty, illiteracy and disease for the
world's poor by 2015.
Building the business canon
As might be expected of a company with so many experts and a
dedication to research, BCGers put out their fair share of
publications-so many, in fact, that in 2006, the firm collected
some of its biggest thoughts over the past 40 years into one
volume, entitled The Boston Consulting Group on Strategy.
Aimed at executives across all industries, the anthology offers
both the now-established wisdom as the company conceived it years
ago, as well as more recent thoughts on the state of business. The
themes, in many cases, have remained consistent over the decades:
Retain competitive advantage, break compromises, realize the value
of time, and remain aware of second- and third-order

Italy was considering granting asylum to an Afghan man who had faced the death penalty for abandoning Islam for Christianity amid fears for his safety after he was freed from prison and went into hiding in Kabul, officials said Tuesday.
Muslim clerics condemned Abdul Rahan's release, saying it was a "betrayal of Islam" and threatened to incite violent protests.
The 41-year-old was released from the high-security Policharki prison on the outskirts of Kabul late Monday after a court dropped charges of apostasy against him because of a lack of evidence and suspected mental illness.
Justice Minister Mohammed Sarwar Danish said Rahman was staying at a "safe location" in Kabul.
Rahman has appealed to leave Afghanistan and the United Nations said it has been working to find a country willing to take him.
The Italian government said in a statement that Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini will use a Cabinet meeting Wednesday to press for Rahman to be granted asylum there.
Fini had earlier expressed Italy's "indignation" over the case. Pope Benedict XVI also appealed to Karzai to protect Rahman.
Italy has close ties with Afghanistan, whose former king, Mohammed Zaher Shah, was allowed to live with his family in exile in Rome for 30 years. The former royals returned to Kabul after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
An Italian diplomat in Kabul, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said no one from the Italian mission had been in contact with Rahman, but they had been assured his health was all right.
Rahman was arrested last month after police discovered him with a Bible during a custody dispute over his two daughters. He was put on trial last week for converting 16 years ago while he was a medical aid worker for an international Christian group helping Afghan refugees in Pakistan. He faced the death penalty under Afghanistan's Islamic laws.

Tax would remedy high gasoline prices
Published: Sunday, May 30, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 30, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Excessive profits tax. Am I the only one around old enough to remember that phrase?
At another time in this nation's history (I can't remember when) there was another commodity (was it also gasoline?), the price of which rose astronomically. It was shown the corporations producing that commodity were reaping excessive (obscene?) rates.
At least the tax kept things in balance.
I recently heard (I can't remember when, where or how) that oil company profits are up by some 90 percent over the same time last year.
Granted, they are entitled to a fair profit (ours is a capitalistic economy). Let's allow them a 5 percent increase in profits over last year (or a few more points if you think they deserve it).
Everything above that, let's tax at 99 percent, using revenue to reduce the annual deficit and national debt (which are also skyrocketing obscenely!).
Wanna bet the price of gasoline comes down in a hurry?

Lovely shot.
great shot
Well-composed, well-processed. I do detect a slight hint of blue fringing on the snow. I think the composition could possibly be improved by getting a bit closer to the foreground, but not at the expense of losing sight of the shore curve.
I agree. I think the ice is so cool (pardon the pun) that I wish I had made it more significant (?) in the image.
This is just wonderful!!!
Very well executed shot!
Beautiful shot!

The Economy: Comparing Clinton, McCain, and Obama
There are differences in the candidates' plans — and the pundits are eager to highlight them.
• Paul Krugman summarizes the speeches. McCain was the anti-maverick, opposing any increased regulation of securities firms or aid to troubled homeowners. Clinton's proposals on mortgage restructuring showed "a strong progressive sensibility." And Obama earned points on broader regulation, but was, overall, too cautious. [NYT]
• Jane Sasseen breaks down each candidate's central positions: Clinton has focused on helping the unemployed and working class, Obama has argued for more regulation, and McCain has dismissed expanding the government's role. [Business Week]
• Ezra Klein calls McCain's approach "straight talk from a guy who doesn't know what he's talking about." As for Clinton, she shapes her image as the competent manager, while Obama paints himself as an inspirational leader that can change the culture. [American Prospect]
• Jim Geraghty thinks Obama pretends his bailout plan isn't actually a bailout because the idea is highly unpopular with voters. [Campaign Spot/National Review]
• Noam Scheiber characterizes Obama's plan as "prudent and intuitive-sounding," though not especially innovative, with the most interesting passage being the criticism of the Clinton administration's deregulation efforts. [Stump/New Republic]
• An editorial highlights what the candidates (and President Bush) agree upon: "government-facilitated loan modifications for subprime borrowers" in some form. [WP]
• Andrew Leonard calls Obama's speech an "eloquent, nuanced, smart defense of" Wall Street regulation, while McCain's speech was "designed to make him look like he understood what was going on," and Clinton's promised "a boatload of quick fixes." Only Clinton and Obama understand that the country is facing a crisis, he writes. [How the World Works/Salon]
• Jeanne Cummings believes a challenge for all the candidates is not only showing that they have the right plan to solve the crisis, but also proving that they aren't indebted to the financial industries they seek to reform. [Politico]
• Gerald McEntee questions Obama's truthfulness on the subprime issue: His economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, defended subprime loans a year ago in the Times, and Obama has taken more money from such lenders than any other candidate. [HuffPo]
• But Christopher Cooper writes that while the Clinton and Obama campaigns are sniping about ties to subprime-mortgage lenders, both candidates have received about the same amount in donations from them. [Horserace/CBS News]
• Perry Bacon Jr. reports that Clinton, speaking about McCain's economic plan and referring to her own campaign ad, said, "It seems like if the phone were ringing, he would just let it ring and ring and ring." Bacon points out that there's probably no financial situation that would require an emergency 3 a.m. phone call. [Trail/WP] —Dan Amira

GnuTLS Removes Questionable Extension
Version 2.0.2 of the GnuTLS security library does without the TLS authorization extension due to threats of patent claims.
The project took this step because the extension is not critical, but it cannot be ruled out that the extension might be patented. The project prefers to avoid any danger ensuing from a lack of clarity concerning patent claims. At the same time, this step will prevent the technology becoming more widespread. The TLS authorization extension was only added to the library in the version released early in September.
At the last minute a company claimed to have applied for a patent on TLS authorization which had been submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a draft standard, says the Free Software Foundation. The IETF had immediately rejected the draft after receiving the notice.
GnuTLS implements the RFC 2246 (Transport Layer Security) TLS standard which is used by many applications for certificate-based encryption. GnuTLS which is released under the LGPLv2 is an alternative to OpenSSL, which is released under the Apache License.

Silver Fern Farms and partner Designworks Ltd have won the
best effect award at the 2012 Best Design Awards.
Organised by the Designers Institute of New Zealand, the
awards recognise the country's best brand, product and most
innovative design concepts.
The company's entry reflected its four-year project to
rebrand and transform PPCS into Silver Fern Farms.
It was about Silver Fern Farms' commitment to shifting its
culture from "meat processor" to "marketing and
consumer-oriented exporter", chief executive Keith Cooper
The company realised that building deep partnerships with
specialists like Designworks was critical to success.
Over the past four years, the two parties had worked together
to develop a new look for the brand across internal and
external corporate communications materials; designing
innovative new retail packaging; moving to one consistent
brand across all packaging; devising a new strategy for the
food-service channel; and adapting packaging and brand
communications to enter into new international retail
The company was thrilled to be judged against such a strong
field of innovative and well-respected New Zealand brands, he
Silver Fern Farms was one of New Zealand's largest exporters
in one of the country's's most critical sectors, judging
panel convener Noel Brown said.
They had used design to get closer to their end customers and
increase the relevance of their product to capture more of
the value in the farm to plate value chain, he said.

Russia Leads World Cup Race; Putin Won't Join Cameron in Zurich
Russia is the bookmakers' favorite to host soccer's 2018 World Cup, though Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he won't join his British counterpart, David Cameron, at the announcement in Zurich to push Russia's case.
Bookmakers William Hill Plc, Ladbrokes Plc and Paddy Power all had Russia as the front-runner to host the tournament this afternoon, followed by England and joint bids from Portugal and Spain and Belgium and the Netherlands. The Federation Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, soccer's world governing body, will announce the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 competitions tomorrow.
Putin said today that he won't fly to Zurich in order to give FIFA's selection committee "the chance to make an objective decision calmly and without external pressure." Cameron said on Nov. 12 that he'll attend the ceremony.
Russia's bid includes construction of 13 stadiums and renovation of three more at a projected cost of $3.8 billion and an operating budget of $641 million for 2017-2018. Russia committed to make "major upgrades and capacity increases" at most airports serving the 13 proposed host cities, including Sochi, home of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
FIFA assessed Russia's ability to provide requisite airports and international connections as a "high risk" in its bid evaluation report. All aspects of England's bid are rated as "low" or "medium" risks.
'Dragged Through the Mud'
Putin today criticized a "campaign" against members of FIFA's executive committee involved in the selection as "unfair competition." The officials are "being compromised and dragged through the mud," Putin said at a government meeting in Moscow. "Such methods are entirely inadmissible."
FIFA suspended two executive committee members last month following a corruption probe into bids to host the World Cup. Its decision-making body was reduced to 22 members as Nigeria's Amos Adamu was suspended for three years and fined 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,120) and Tahiti's Reynald Temarii was banned for a year and fined 5,000 francs.
London-based bookmaker William Hill had Russia as a 4/7 favorite to host the tournament at 3:30 p.m. Moscow time today, with England at 2/1, Portugal and Spain at 9/2 and Belgium and the Netherlands at 40/1. Paddy Power gave 8/11 odds for Russia and 2/1 for England, while Ladbrokes offered 5/6 for Russia and 13/8 for England.
'Tens of Billions'
A successful Russian bid may speed infrastructure development and boost airlines and steelmakers, though it could cost "tens of billions" of dollars, analysts said.
"Russia's success would be very positive for stocks such as OAO Aeroflot, the steel companies, media companies and the banks as a Russia proxy," Chris Weafer, chief strategist at Moscow-based UralSib Financial Corp., wrote in a note to investors. "While the cost would likely run into the tens of billions, World Cup 2018 would inject a great deal more urgency, and a stricter timeline, into the government's modernization program."
The "very intensive development of infrastructure and heavy investments" may boost demand for steel products, Alexey Bulgakov, an analyst at Moscow-based Troika Dialog, said on Nov. 29 in a note to investors.
"If the volatility on international markets diminishes, some investors next week may start experiencing warm feelings toward Evraz Group Eurobonds and to a lesser extent Severstal should Russia emerge as the winner," Bulgakov said.
'Going to War'
Talk about the economic benefits of hosting the World Cup are illusory, said Simon Kuper, a co-author of Soccernomics, a book about the economics of the game.
"The main reason for hosting the games is that it gives the whole country something everyone cares about, almost like going to war," Kuper said by telephone from Paris. "It's a great togetherness. And it's great for the political elite and for the construction companies."
Kuper said his study of previous tournaments yielded no evidence that hosting the World Cup makes countries more attractive for investors. Russia is likely to end up with "a lot of empty stadiums," he said. Average attendance at games in Russia's Premier League was 12,343 this season, according to the league's website.
England and the U.S. are the only countries bidding to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups that can meet FIFA's revenue targets, a study commissioned by soccer's governing body said. The confidential report, prepared by McKinsey & Co. and seen by Bloomberg News, was sent to FIFA's Executive Committee. It didn't detail FIFA's projected revenue target.

One scroll through this garden fete and I'm all smiles. Why? Just look at the love between these two! It's couples like this that make our hearts go pitter patter, and with Laura Leslie behind the lens it's sure to get yours racing. Overflowing with sentimental details, from the cake topper to the ceremonial arch, one peek at the gorgeous gallery and you'll be grinning from ear to ear. See it all here!
From the beautiful Bride… Two special details come to mind because they were so personal: First was the arch we stood under during our ceremony was envisioned and created by my dad and a couple of other very talented friends… adding a very sentimental touch to our ceremony. The second was a gift from my older sister; a unique spin on the cake topper. She gave us a custom made cake topper the day before our wedding, featuring a clay version of Bryan and myself, a replica of the photo that we used for our save the date. The picture was originally taken in front of a wall in Austin, Tx the weekend of our engagement. I loved that this particular photo was close by throughout our entire wedding.
We used a friend's hot sauce, "Hotlanta" as a wedding favor. Bryan and I both share a love for anything spicy and thought this was also a great way to pay homage to the city we call home.
The most stressful part of planning was finding the perfect venue. We knew that we wanted to have a wedding within the city, yet I had always imagined myself getting married outdoors (and was unwilling to let go of that image). Bryan and I also wanted to be able to have both our ceremony and reception at the same location. That being said, we scoured the city for venues that would allow us to have both a garden-like ceremony, with also having to be large enough to accommodate all of our guests and at the same time, fit within our budget. After a long, painstaking search we stumbled upon Callanwolde which was the perfect fit for us.

Holmes Sconce
Written by Katie on March 21, 2016. Permalink
It doesn't take much deductive reasoning to select this Holmes Sconce from Schoolhouse Electric as one of the better options in the marketplace. It might be inspired by the classic candle sconce in the days before electricity, but the minimalist lines in its steel backplate marks it firmly in the present. Make it your own by choosing a specialty bulb, and know that the smaller size would fit almost anywhere you need an extra source of light.

On Thursday, May 23, Google+ users are buzzing about Twitter's plan for two-step authentication and Chevy's new electric car, the Chevy Spark.
Following a series of high-profile hacks, the microblogging site Twitter is taking steps to ensure the security of its users with the introduction of a two-step authentication system.
Two-step or two-factor authentication works by sending a unique, one-time log-in code by text message to the phone linked to the Twitter user's account, making it much harder for a hacker to gain access to an account.
Twitter's two-step verification is voluntary. More information on the feature, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to implement it, can be found via Twitter's blog at blog.twitter.com/2013/getting-started-login-verification.
Also causing a buzz on Google+ is Chevy's electric vehicle, the Chevy Spark. The car company has just announced the pricing for the Spark in the US -- $27,495 before incentives (such as federal tax credit) -- and the Spark is expected to hit select dealers in the USA this June.
The top 5 most talked about topics on Google+ on May 23 at 8:30 AM GMT are:

Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., author of The Orphan Palace
"Already a master of the horror short story, he shows himself equally skilled at novel-length work."
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The Croning deserves a place in the bookcase next to T.E.D. Klein's The Ceremonies, Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby and Fritz Leiber's Our Lady Of Darkness and that is the highest recommendation that I can give."
"The scariest writer on the planet has to be Laird Barron."
Paul Goat Allen, The Barnes & Noble Book Blog
"Laird Barron has, in a remarkably short period of time, emerged as one of the leading writers of contemporary weird fiction."
S. T. Joshi
"If you think there aren't any new Richard Mathesons or Harlan Ellisons out there, you need to read Laird Barron."
Stewart O'Nan, bestselling author of A Prayer for the Dying
"Laird Barron is one of those writers who makes other writers want to break their pencils. I'm serious. His work is that good. Worse than that, he's an original (damn him!), and the finest writer to join the ranks of the dark fantastic in a long, long time."
Norman Partridge, author of Dark Harvest and Lesser Demons
"For my money, Laird Barron is far and away the best of the new generation of horror writers."
Michael Shea, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Polyphemus

Personal Note:
Poem Title:
Read by the poet at The Public Ceremonial of The Naional Institute of Arts and Letters at Carnegie Hall, New York, January 18th, 1941. Great Muse, that from this hall absent for long Hast never been, Great Muse of Song, Colossal Muse of mighty Melody, Vocal Calliope, With thine august and contrapuntal brow And thy vast throat builded for Harmony, For the strict monumental pure design, And the melodic line: Be thou tonight with all beneath these rafters—be with me. If I address thee in archaic style— Words obsolete, words obsolescent, It is that for a little while The heart must, oh indeed must from this angry and out-rageous present Itself withdraw Into some past in which most crooked Evil, Although quite certainly conceived and born, was not as yet the Law. Archaic, or obsolescent at the least, Be thy grave speaking and the careful words of thy clear song, For the time wrongs us, and the words most common to our speech today Salute and welcome to the feast Conspicuous Evil— or against him all day long Cry out, telling of ugly deeds and most uncommon wrong. Be thou tonight with all beneath these rafters—be with me But oh, be more with those who are not free. Who, herded into prison camps all shame must suffer and all outrage see. Where music is not played nor sung, Though the great voice be there, no sound from the dry throat across the thickened tongue Comes forth; nor has he heart for it. Beauty in all things—no, we cannot hope for that; but some place set apart for it. Here it may dwell; And with your aid, Melpomene And all thy sister-muses (for ye are, I think, daughters of Memory) Within the tortured mind as well. Reaped are those fields with dragon's-teeth so lately sown; Many the heaped men dying there - so close, hip touches thigh; yet each man dies alone. Music, what overtone For the soft ultimate sigh or the unheeded groan Hast thou—to make death decent, where men slip Down blood to death, no service of grieved heart or ritual lip Transferring what was recently a man and still is warm— Transferring his obedient limbs into the shallow grave where not again a friend shall greet him, Nor hatred do him harm . . . Nor true love run to meet him? In the last hours of him who lies untended On a cold field at night, and sees the hard bright stars Above his upturned face, and says aloud "How strange . . . my life is ended."— If in the past he loved great music much, and knew it well, Let not his lapsing mind be teased by well-beloved but ill- remembered bars — Let the full symphony across the blood-soaked field By him be heard, most pure in every part, The lonely horror of whose painful death is thus repealed, Who dies with quiet tears upon his upturned face, making to glow with softness the hard stars. And bring to those who knew great poetry well Page after page that they have loved but have not learned by heart! We who in comfort to well-lighted shelves Can turn for all the poets ever wrote, Beseech you: Bear to those Who love high art no less than we ourselves, Those who lie wounded, those who in prison cast Strive to recall, to ease them, some great ode, and every stanza save the last. Recall—oh, in the dark, restore them The unremembered lines; make bright the page before them! Page after page present to these, In prison concentrated, watched by barbs of bayonet and wire, Give ye to them their hearts' intense desire— The words of Shelley, Virgil, Sophocles. And thou, O lovely and not sad, Euterpe, be thou in this hall tonight! Bid us remember all we ever had Of sweet and gay delight— We who are free, But cannot quite be glad, Thinking of huge, abrupt disaster brought Upon so many of our kind Who treasure as do we the vivid look on the unfrightened face, The careless happy stride from place to place, And the unbounded regions of untrammelled thought Open as interstellar space To the exploring and excited mind. O Muses, O immortal Nine!— Or do ye languish? Can ye die? Must all go under?— How shall we heal without your help a world By these wild horses torn asunder? How shall we build anew? — How start again? How cure, how even moderate this pain Without you, and you strong? And if ye sleep, then waken! And if ye sicken and do plan to die, Do not that now! Hear us, in what sharp need we cry! For we have help nowhere If not in you! Pity can much, and so a mighty mind, but cannot all things do!— By you forsaken, We shall be scattered, we shall be overtaken! Oh, come! Renew in us the ancient wonder, The grace of life, its courage, and its joy! Weave us those garlands nothing can destroy! Come! with your radiant eyes! — with your throats of thunder!

My laptop will soon be 6 years old. It's an ASUS Aspire 8930G and uses DDR3 memory modules. I need to replace the modules because they are faulty.
After opening up the computer and pulling out the modules to read the labels, it indicates:
I googled for replacement memory for this laptop and I've seen stuff on Amazon and eBay with numbers like:
Doing some more search, I came to understand that this number difference has to do with the clock speed. The 8500S doesn't seem to exist much anymore. Probably was something when DDR3 initially came out. Nevertheless, the websites selling DDR3 seem to indicate that it is OK to use PC3 10600.
What isn't clear to me is what am I allowed to install in my laptop. Can I put in modules that are rated with a higher speed? What exactly does this clock speed mean? Does it mean it will operate up to that speed or does it mean that I MUST have that speed?
The last thing I want to end up doing is going into a store to buy some replacement DDR3 and only find out after plugging it in that it doesn't work because I failed to take something into account? Is there anything I should be aware of when getting the replacement memory?

I was curious how to make the entire text clickable in the_excerpt. Is this possible? Sorta like n-tv or cnn has it. There's a linkable title and some text but rarely do they use "more" they have the entire excerpt of content clickable.
Also, if this it not possible or just to know, how does one truncate the title to a specified number of words or characters?

Whenever I'm posting html article into HTML section of the WP posts/pages and publishing, I'm getting all garbage.. What to do?
Whenever I'm posting html article into HTML section of the WP posts/pages and publishing, I'm getting all garbage.. What to do?
Are you copying from Word or another formatted text source? That would do it.
Converted the normal article into HTML characters using software and here how it looks --> the homе owneг
ups... here it is taking exact words what I meant was this
---> the hom & # 1 0 7 7 ; o w n e & # 1 0 7 5 ;
(without spaces)
Converted the normal article into HTML characters using software
Using what software??
Where are you putting it? (visual or text editor)? Does the same thing happen if you type the HTML directly in the dashboard editor?
Well I don't know that software because that was provided to me by my client. Obviously, I'm copying that in text editor and when I click on visual it will take all its original characters but when I publish it, then it is showing garbage. What do you mean by Dashboard editor?? just make a note that I'm not using any plugin. On another hand, I have checked some of my other website they are fine and taking html characters.
I have noticed one thing i.e. if I copy all the html characters in the HTML and without clicking on visual, if I'm publishing then it is taking perfectly. If I click on visual then moving on to pblishing way then its compeltely garbage... Its very important for me to click on visual because I need to adjust images/links in that...
Does the garbage persist when using a text editor like Notepad?
Well, I'm copying all the HTML characters into HTML section of WP-Post from the notepad itself....
Can you post here an excerpt of the stuff you're copying (without formatting it)?
I think I have posted here the sample of some words in my beginning posts.. When I had copied the exact characters of HTML then here it is taking the exact version of that...
Just see the below
This is HTML characters..
tо оur hеаlth.
Whо Neеdѕ
Here they are easily converting...

what happened??
If you are switching between the visual and text editors, that will cause problems - it's a known problem. Try saving the post in the one editor and then switching after saving it first. See if that works.
And please do not bump here - it's not allowed per the forum guidelines: http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping
I didn't get you.. What do you mean by saving post in one editor?
I have tried to make the whole post in different website (like bravenet.com) and take its whole coding and paste in the WP html. Didn't worked!!!
I have some more wordpress websites they are perfectly working fine without anything...
I copy all the html characters in the HTML and without clicking on visual, if I'm publishing then it is taking perfectly. If I click on visual then moving on to pblishing way then its compeltely garbage... Its very important for me to click on visual because I need to adjust images/links in that...
Do not switch between the visual and text editor. Use one, save/publish, then use the other to make any other changes.
Or you could try a plugin for another text editor.
I have done exactly what you have said but this also doesn't solve the problem..
What is the name of the plugin?
Just to be sure, does the HTML code you are using work in a regular, static HTML page?
There are various plugins -- you'd have to see if they will do what you want:
I suppose this problem could be related to another plugin conflict and/or your theme? Have you tried deactivating all plugins and switching to a default theme just to test that?
Plugin is awesome!!! but even after using that plugin and posting the article in HTML of the plugin the problem doesn't solved!!
Yes.. I have tried deactivating all the installed plugins and switching the theme to the default one but still the problem is occurring..
Then I'm guessing that what you are pasting into it has formatting that is causing the problems. Where is that text coming from?
I think I have understand the issue..
The Software by name UberToolz is doing the issue. I visited their website checked the whole conversion of the codes. There are particularly two types of coded. Extended and Standard. Even though both looks same but there is something different in those codes. The one which is causing the issue is Extended one. I have checked the article in standard code and it is looking perfectly fine...
Let me also confirmed from the client...
Yes, that's what I suggested in my first post. I'm glad you figured it out.

July 2009 Indie Next List
"A beautiful and timeless coming-of-age story that, while set in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, emphasizes the causalities of all modern wars -- the men and women who are sent to fight, the families left behind, and the people who choose to protest. This is a wonderful story for young adults and parents alike."
— Kelly Estep, Carmichael's Bookstore, Louisville, KY
In his timely YA debut, a best-selling novelist revisits a summer of tumult and truth for a young narrator and his war-torn family.
Bicentennial fireworks burn the sky. Bob Seger growls from a transistor radio. And down by the river, girls line up on lawn chairs in pursuit of the perfect tan. Yet for ten-year-old Eli Book, the summer of 1976 is the one that threatened to tear his family apart. There is his distant mother; his traumatized Vietnam vet dad; his wild sister; his former warprotester aunt; and his tough yet troubled best friend, Edie, the only person with whom he can be himself. As tempers flare and his father's nightmares rage, Eli watches from the sidelines, but soon even he cannot escape the current of conflict. From Silas House comes a tender look at the complexities of childhood and the realities of war a quintessentially Southern novel filled with music, nostalgic detail, a deep respect for nature, and a powerful sense of place.
"From the Hardcover edition.

I was hoping to use
$.ajax({url:'foo.js', async:false, dataType:'script'}) to block content display until foo.js had loaded. The assumption was that synchronous script loading is roughly equivalent to
document.write. I'm guessing that's incorrect since I still get FOUC.
While I can solve the immediate issue by hiding the element and showing it on script load, I'm curious how the synchronous
$.ajax call differs from
document.write. If you happen to know a way to get content blocking behavior from jQuery, that would be interesting also.

I've been to the range twice with it this week. It's amazingly accurate and concealable. On problem is that my thumb impedes the slide locking back after the last round. I'm used to this with my Sigs, but I thought a Glock wouldn't do it. Live and learn.

I agree with the term that every gun owner should have at least one G19.
I didn't know why people were saying that until I got my G19.
I love mine, :D

I'm a G19 fan, and believe it is their best model, if forced to pick.
God, country, family.
The G19 is by far the most boring gun I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. It never jams, and pretty much hits where I point. While I see other folks with expensive 1911s and H&K pistols at the range trying to clear malfunctions, I'm standing there blasting away with my G19, and I run out of practice ammo way before they do.

I've got somewhere around 15,000 rounds through mine with no malfunctions (other than those deliberately induced with dummy rounds).ain't that the truth...at a class last year I saw 4 high-end production 1911's (one Kimber, one Para P-14, one S&W, and a Springer EMP) go down in the first day (a couple before lunch)...the 12 Glocks and 2 SIGs in the class worked with boring reliability.Originally Posted by spyderdude

Great choice.

Former: Taurus 92SS, SIG P220 TT, S&W 360, SIG P239-40, Ruger 22/45 MKII
I have several Glocks. Just got the G19 a couple months ago. It's quickly becoming my favorite for carry, and I think I'll be using it for the GSSF match coming to town next month!
I've been carrying an OD G19 for roughly a year now. Other than adding TFO night sights and a steel guide rod it's basically stock. I love the light weight, low recoil and high capacity. It prints more than my 1911s but the weight savings makes it a trade off I'm willing to make. Just ran 75 rounds of mixed WWB and DPX through it at the range yesterday, function was flawless and it shoots to point of aim. Can't ask for more than that.

Product Description
From Amazon
It hardly seems fair that so many great doctors are also great writers. Perhaps it's qualities like sensitivity, craft, and dedication that keep physicians like Oliver Sacks in hospitals all day and at writing desks all night; if nothing else, these qualities shine in books like Awakenings. This powerful set of case histories rises above its pathological foundation to find new literary territory, a medical-spiritual synthesis equally stimulating for the mind and the soul. It's no wonder Hollywood producers chose to turn it into a feature film--anyone can see the universal human struggle against bondage and despair in these pages.
The sleeping-sickness epidemic of 1918 caused hundreds of survivors to slip into a bizarre rigid paralysis with similarities to advanced Parkinson's disease. These patients, only occasionally able to communicate or move, were nearly all institutionalized for life, their ranks increasing every now and then with similarly afflicted men and women. Sacks came to work at a long-term care facility shortly before the first exciting results with L-dopa and Parkinson's in the late 1960s; his patients soon embarked on dramatic, difficult recoveries from up to 50 years of torpor. He documents their spiritual and medical obstacles with great care to portray their individual personalities, long suppressed but finally released. Though many great doctors are also great writers, few can compare with Oliver Sacks for expressing the relation of medicine to the human spirit. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
"One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time." —The Washington Post
"Compulsively readable. . . . Dr. Sacks writes beautifully and with exceptional subtlety and penetration into both the state of mind of his patients and the nature of illness generally. . . . A brilliant and humane book." —A. Alvarez, The Observer
"[Sacks] opens to the reader doors of perception generally passed through only by those at the far borders of human experience." —The Boston Globe
"A masterpiece." —W. H. Auden

Awakenings succeeds at being accessible to both the layperson and professional, and captivating both. There is a glossary to familiarize yourself with neurological terminology, but again the book isn't overtly prolix; rather a gripping account of neurological maladies.
Through Mr.Sack's these patients have received a certain immortality; a sense that their suffering has not been in vain, but tremendously valuable, not only to the advancement of neurology but as testament to the inherent strength and resolve in us all.
Unlike the movie, there is no love story, and the Leonard character is not a lovable hero. But the book is well written, and the medical ramifications are clearly explained for the lay-person.
I recommend this, and all of Oliver Sacks' books, highly.

Lafourche NAACP banquet tonight
Published: Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 1:18 a.m.
THIBODAUX — The Lafourche NAACP is preparing to host its second annual Freedom Fund banquet tonight, an event that will culminate in the awarding of five $1,000 scholarships to college-bound students from the area.
The banquet, expected to attract 200-300 people, is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. at Moses Community Center, 1310 Cardinal Drive. It's a fundraiser for the scholarships and community-outreach activities.
"We were successful last year, and the community helped out so well, we decided to do it again," said Burnell Tolbert, the group's president. "This year it's going to be bigger and better."
The keynote speaker is Samuel Coleman, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Director for Region 6. Individual tickets cost $30 at the door.
There will also be plenty of singing, as well as performances by spiritual dancers.
The scholarships are an important means to help young people better themselves, and it's part of the group's efforts to address local areas that need improvement, such as crime and the dropout rate, said Bertha Robinson Shanklin, the group's education advisor.
"It should be the goal of every young man or woman to finish high school and go into some kind of field or endeavor to help support themselves," Shanklin said. "There's nothing you can do if you drop out of school but hang on the street."
The group will also give out three local service awards.
For information or for tickets, call Tolbert at 448-1149 or the chapter's secretary, Amour Jenkins, at 447-9528.
Staff Writer Kathrine Schmidt can be reached at 857-2204 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Big thumbs up. Lovely and generous idea.
Indeed it does, great fleece. Love mine dearly and would buy another if I was brave enough:)
I have an Edge tarp and use it in general humid Scandinavian weather. A tarp I needed most of the year here, simply due to dew falling in the evening as temps start to drop. In the summer and cold...

How important is it to use or dwr treated ripstop over regular "plain" ripstop?

Lovely :) placed my order for burrow and Phoenix a few days ago, really looking forward to it getting here :)
Must admit to be stalking the order-status page daily :)
Placed my order for a 40* burrow and a 20* Phoenix. 1oz overstuff in each.
Now the itchy wait begins:)
Any idea how long a wait for international orders?
Velkommen, tak fordi du kom :)
Thanks for the replys.
Will go ahead and order me a set, can't wait that long, and the sales-forum is usually not a feasible option as I am on the wrong side of the Atlantic :)
Thanks again.
Hope I don't come off seeming cheap, but I was wondering if there was a HF members discount on quilts from HG?
Looking to put some money i a TQ and UQ and just about set on ordering from HG,...
I loved the vid. You make it look so easy that I almost regret ordering an Edge tarp. Well, almost :) guess I'll have an excuse to make myself a wintertarp at some point :)
Thanks fronkey.
Velkommen ombord :-)
Great things those poncho liners :-)
Any chance of a follow up review of those two? Have been considering the exact same setup, but have had a hard time finding opinions and comparrisons of them.
Just adding a bit of Info on the pluq. I made the sewn version, works great down to about 40, then something to supplement is indeed needed. I slip a ccf pad between the layers of the hammock, gets...
I made a long whoopie sling out of 1.75 zing-it, with a small fixed loop and a short tail at the adjustable end. Attaches just like in the pictures above and works, just passer the hammock suspension...
Neat idea with the tri-cams, hadn't thought of that :-)
Need a bigger "like" button for this :-)
Excellent, not a bad city to be in I'm told :)
For what reasons are you going there, work, studies, vacation?
I tie slippery half-hitches with the remaining whoopie line. Easy to make and undo, and also serve as dripstop when it's rainy outside.
Heard fine things about HH, would be tempted by that as well.
