Sixties Sunday: Uniqlo 60s style top
Brrrrr. Winter is kicking in and it's time for layers and cosy coats: this does not mean, by any stretch of the imagination, that you have to abandon your 60s wardrobe.
I just picked up this cute little navy tee at Uniqlo (reduced to just £7.90), perfect for layering over roll necks and long sleeved tops.
The floral print is certainly 60s influenced: it works with a mini or midi skirt, or thrown over a shift dress it adds a splash of sixties cool. I wore it over a plain black polo neck with a black crochet detail skirt by Biba, petrol tights and navy Chelsea boots.
As comfy as a t-shirt, the stripe neckline adds a bit of a twist and allows you to keep it casual or dress it up. As long as you've got a layer or two on underneath, anything goes!

Union army wins the Battle of Champion Hill
The Union army seals the fate of Vicksburg by defeating the Confederates at the Battle of Champion Hill, Mississippi. Union General Ulysses S. Grant had successfully run the Confederate gauntlet at Vicksburg and placed the Army of the Tennessee south of the stronghold, the Rebels' last significant holding on the Mississippi River. But he did not move directly on Vicksburg because he knew Joseph Johnston was assembling a Confederate force in Jackson, Mississippi, 40 miles east of Vicksburg.
Instead, Grant advanced toward Jackson and prevented Johnston from uniting with the Vicksburg garrison, headed by John C. Pemberton. After boldly attacking and defeating the Confederates at Jackson, Grant left William T. Sherman's corps to hold Johnston at bay. The Confederates were divided not only by Grant's army, but also by conflicting strategy. Johnston wanted Pemberton to head into northern Mississippi to join forces with his own army. But Pemberton insisted on sticking close to Vicksburg and defending the city.
Grant sent his other two corps, commanded by James McPherson and John McClernand, to take on Pemberton. They found the Confederates on Champion Hill, about halfway between Jackson and Vicksburg. There, some 30,000 Union troops attacked 20,000 Confederates. The battle swayed back and forth, but the Federals eventually gained the upper hand. Pemberton's men were forced to retreat, and one division was completely cut off from the rest of the army.
Although McClernand's timidity kept the rout from being complete, the engagement was still the decisive action of the Vicksburg campaign. Pemberton fell back into Vicksburg, where Grant followed and soon bottled the Confederates. A six-week siege ensued, and Vicksburg fell on July 4.

text: So, The last two releases to the CPAN I did (prior to hopefully the last useful one) released a module with a naff MANIFEST and missing files. Ooops, I suck. Let's not do that again, eh? Now, I've been doing this for long enough that the mantra of "Let's not do that again" isn't sufficient. I need to put tools in my way to ensure that I am protected from my own stupidity. I could easily roll my own, but I want to steal from the best, or failing that, you guys. What I need to do is smoke my own modules before I release them to CPAN. Ideally I'd like to smoke against multiple versions of Perl (in particular, I'd like to smoke against the version of Perl I'm claiming to support even though my primary Perl is 5.14.) I'd like to install all the dependancies from scratch, so I know I haven't missed anything. I know several people on this list have that kind of setup. How did you build this? Is there some sort of App::SmokeEmIfYouveGotEm that you use for this or did you hand roll your solution too? A little background to answer the inevitable questions. - I'm currently using Module::Install as my primary toolchain. - I'm running on a Mac. The last module I wrote is actually Mac dependant, so I need to stay on this platform. Mark.

I was sitting in the common room this morning, reading one of the many insightful works of al-Ghazali. It was a quiet time, around 8:20 am, and there wasn't much activity going on in the hostel building, most of the girls were asleep or already in class. The only sound I could hear was the rhythmic swoosh swoosh of the maids' brooms on the pavement outside, strangely soothing and far more effective than Britney in getting me to concentrate on the reading. I would read a paragraph and jot down anything useful my sleep-deprived mind could derive from it; and so it went, as I read and jotted, read and jotted, until I was almost at the end of the reading.
All of a sudden, 2 things happened at once. I heard a discernable yet muted sound of a loud crash. Simultaneously, the building shook and the windows in the room rattled momentarily. Had I shut my eyes for even a second, I probably would not have even noticed it. It sounded as if it had happened just behind our building yet when I got up to look outside, nothing seemed any different from the way it had been just a minute ago. I didn't really know what to make of it. I first thought it might've have been a tremor, since those are common in thsi region but a mini-earthquake doesn't make that sort of sound, its usually silent unless a building collapses, in which case it would've been a stronger movement that more people would've felt. Subconsciously, the thought that it could have been a bomb blast popped into my head, yet there was nothing to prove that anything of the sort had really happened. Had I just imagined the sound of an explosion? Was I hallucinating when I saw the windows vibrating?
Apparently not. That was 4 hours ago. I just received frantic phone calls from my mom and my brother asking me if I was alright because, guess what? That nagging suspicion at the back of my mind was right! There was yet again another bomb blast in Lahore today. The target was a gov't office, or a 'secret agency' and Geo reports on its website ( http://geo.tv/3-8-2010/60629.htm ), that was functioning out of the residential neighbourhood of Model Town. Yup, the location's definitely not so secretive anymore, especially since there's an 8-feet deep crater at the site of the blast, caused by the car that exploded with the 800 kg of C4 explosives it was packed with.
Around 60 people have been injured, and approximately a dozen have died, one of the casualties being a guy in a building down the road from the site whose ears couldn't handle the decibel-level of the blast. Bummer. It's strange though. A week ago, my dad was down here for a visit and he marvelled at how efficient and severe the security situation has become in the city; we would literally drive down a road and see a uniformed rifle-bearing officer at every corner. So I do wonder how it is that a car filled to the teeth with 800 kilos of C4 managed to roam about the city as if it's completely not dubious or alarming at all? But then again, given the frequency of bomb blasts in this city, maybe it's become a norm by now. I jest…I hope.
I guess the terrorists decided that the short time period they'd given this city between this and the previous blast was long enough for some quiet time and self-reflection. Co-incidentally, they also managed to make this blowup happen on the same day Gossip Girl resumes after its mid-season hiatus. If this doesn't mean it'll be an explosive few episodes, I don't know what will. Way to welcome back the Upper East Siders with a bang, eh?

Berg v. Obama Denied Certiorari
By Julian Dunraven, J.D., M.P.A..
(For earlier posts on this case click here.)
Honorable Friends:
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Berg v. Obama. Despite this denial, there is still a chance it may be heard by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, where it is still pending. Berg reports that his brief is due by 20 January 2009. Ironically, that is inauguration day. Though it saddens me to say so, as this case will not even be heard, much less resolved, by the time Obama is sworn into office, I cannot imagine any court would presume to review the qualifications of a sitting president. Thus, I do not expect that there will be any further developments in this case. As such, the question of Obama's constitutional qualifications falls to the U.S. Senate. The Senate has accepted Obama as fully qualified for office, and he will thus become the next President of the United States on January 20th.

This book has helped more than 750,000 people find truly satisfying work. The book
leads you step-by-step through the process of determining your Personality Type. Then it
provides real-life case studies of people who share your Type and introduces you to
the key ingredients your work must have for it to be genuinely fulfilling.
Using workbook exercises and explaining specific job search strategies, this book
identifies occupations that are popular with your Type and offers a rundown of your
work-related strengths and weaknesses. It also shows how you can use your unique
strengths to customize your job search, ensuring the best results in the shortest
period of time.
Whether you're a recent graduate, a first-time job seeker, or a midlife career
switcher, this lively guide will enable you to discover the right career for you.
An abbreviated excerpt from the book:
The study of personality type is the result of research by Katharine Briggs and her
daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. They determined that there are four personality preference
scales and sixteen personality types. In the 1940s Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs
Myers developed the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) test to measure personality type.
All personality types are equally valuable, with inherent strengths and blind spots.
Personality type does not determine intelligence or predict success, it does however help
us discover what best motivates us as individuals, and this empowers us to seek those
elements in the work we choose.
This book describes each of the personality types and as you read about each, think
about which sounds more like you. At the end of the discussion of each dimension you'll
find a scale. Place a check mark along the scale at the point which you think most
accurately reflects you. By estimating your preference for each of the four personality
type dimensions, you'll end up with a four-letter code that will represent your personality type.
This type of personality assessment is based on four aspects of human personality;
how we interact with the world. We call these aspects dimensions because each one can
be pictured as a continuum between opposite extremes, like this:
You use both sides of each scale in daily life, but you also have an innate
preference for one side or the other. Since each continuum has opposite preferences
at either end, there are eight preferences in all, each represented by a particular
letter. These letters are used in combination to designate the sixteen personality
types. Your particular combination of preferences is more meaningful than any one
preference by itself.
Everyone fits into one of these sixteen categories. In Part 3 of the book it shows
you how to use what you've learned about yourself with a type-specific list of key
ingredients for career satisfaction, your ideal work environment, your work-related
strengths, and a list of potentially satisfying career options.

What To Do In Phong Nha
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a immense area of dense forest and jungle, many rivers, caves and areas that can't be accessed. Luckily we are here to provide you with tours to get the best out of your stay in Phong Nha and the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park Area.
Tours & Activities
We highly recommend visitors of Phong Nha to join one of the many tours available in the area. This way you'll get most out of your stay and experience one of the most beautiful areas of Vietnam. There are many benefits to joining a tour: Price advantage, professional guides, tasty meals & more.
Special tours
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is home to many gorgeous caves and a couple of them are open to the public. However, with regular entry tickets only a small part of the caves can be entered and 80% of them have steel or wooden walkways. That being said, a true cave exploration is not possible without joining a proper tour. There are several of options available and we label them Special Tours.
Explore 6 Kilometers Of Dark Cave
Dark Cave is one of the most popular tourism sites in the area and well known for its 400 meter zip-line (the longest zip-line in Vietnam). A regular visit will only take participants 500 meters inside the cave and the rest is left unseen. With the 6 kilometers Dark Cave exploration tour participants will conquer the entire cave. From the back entrance (Thuy Cung) all the way to the main entrance. This is a two day tour and a amazing experience is guaranteed. For more information about this tour click here, for more information about Dark Cave click here.
Price: 6,999,000 VND/Pax
Hotel & meals included
Conquer 4.5 Kilometers Of Phong Nha Cave
Just like the Dark Cave the Phong Nha Cave is a very popular tourism site inside the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. In fact, the entire park is based around the existence of this cave (Phong Nha). The first 1.2 kilometers of the cave is artificially lightened which creates stunning scenery. After the twilight zone (the zone that is artificially lightened) there is nothing but darkness and a lot of cave to be explored. Phong Nha Cave is known for its extensive subterranean river system and it is the longest wet cave in the world. Participating in this tour will be a once in a lifetime experience and a adventure to never forget. For more information about this tour click here, for more information about the Phong Nha cave click here.
Price: 1,700,000 VND/Pax
Lunch included
Popular Tours
For those that don't dare to go on one of the adventurous cave explorations mentioned above and for those who are on a tighter budget the popular tours might be more appealing. These tours cover the most popular sites in the area.
Boat & Bike Tour
The Boat & Bike Tour is a full day tour and will start at the Heritage By Night hotel (daily). After pick up participants will be taken to the boat station down the road where they will enter one of the famous traditional dragon boats. Phong Nha cave is the first cave to be explored in this tour, however, participants will only discover 1.2 kilometers of the cave which is the part in which the artificial lighting system has been installed.
The Phong Nha Cave exploration will be followed by a boat ride to Dark Cave. At Dark Cave participants will gain instant access (no waiting times). A 400 meter zip-line ride is required to reach the mouth of the cave and inside one of the narrow passages a mud bath is waiting!
After conquering all parts of the Dark Cave it's time to hop on the bicycles and drive back to the Phong Nha village. The tour guide will take participants through small river side villages and areas which tourists wouldn't normally visit. For more information about this tour click here.
Price: 1,290,000 VND/Pax
Lunch included
National Park Tour
Just like the Boat & Bike Tour the National Park Tour is a full day tour. Many popular tourism sites will be visited in the National Park Tour: Eight Ladies Cave, Paradise Cave, Mooc Spring Eco Trail & Dark Cave. Eight Ladies Cave is a memorial temple built in memory of 8 brave woman who have died during the war. The tour guide will provide the full story! Paradise Cave is well known site in the area and often described as the Eden on earth. After discovering Paradise Cave the tour van will drive participants down to the Mooc Spring Eco-Trail. A wooden walking structure was built over the rapids and participants will get the time to embrace the beauty and tranquility of the area. A traditional tasty Vietnamese lunch will be served at the Mooc Spring.
After Mooc Spring it's time to visit the exciting Dark Cave; enjoy a 400 meter zip-line ride, take a mud bath, take a shorter zip-line and play adventurous water games. For more information about this tour and the different sites click here.
Single Visits
Most of the sites in the area are open for single visits. We highly recommend joining one of the tours instead of visiting the different sites one by one yourself.
The benefits of joining a tour:
- Big Price Advantage (All tours include a tasty lunch)
- No Transportation Fees
- No Waiting Times
- Professional tour guides with a lot of knowledge about the area (English!)
- Guaranteed fun!
- Tour Insurance
Not in for a tour? There are plenty of other things to do and see in the area. A bicycle can be rented at the Heritage By Night Hotel and free advice will be given.

This Atari game is emulated by JavaScript only. If you prefere to use Java applet emulator, please follow this link.
Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. Be patient :-)
File size:
Game size:
Circus is an arcade game released by Exidy in 1977. The game is an arranged version of Atari's Breakout, where the player controls a seesaw and clown in order to destroy all of the targets in the level. The game has been copied and released under different names by numerous other companies in both the United States and Japan.
3 rows of triangular balloons move along the top part of the screen, each overlaid with blue, green, and yellow (colors used in the original version), counting from the top row. A clown appears from the edge of the screen where there is a jumping board, and the player must move the seesaw located at the bottom of the screen so that the clown can bounce back off the seesaw once he jumps off from his starting position. However, it is impossible to make contact with the clown with the seesaw in certain locations. The 4 jumping boards located on the sides of the screen serve to decrease the area where it is impossible to make contact.
If the player successfully gets the clown onto the seesaw, the clown on the other side shoots off into the air towards the 3 balloons on the top of the screen. The clown may not have enough speed to reach the balloons if the first clown does not land squarely on the seesaw. Clowns bounce off of balloons, walls, and jumping boards, but will pass directly through multiple balloons if they are moving quickly enough. They will only bounce off the jumping boards when they are heading downwards, and will pass straight through the boards while moving upwards.
Hitting any of the balloons with the clown causes them to burst, and the player receives 20 points for bursting the yellow balloon, 50 points for the green balloon, and 100 points for the blue balloon.[1] Bursting the entire row of balloons causes a sound effect and awards the player 10 times the original points as a bonus (i.e. 200 points for the yellow balloon). A new row of balloons instantly replaces the old one when the entire row is destroyed.
Destroying all of the blue balloons causes another sound effect and allows the player to play one more time (1 clown) after they have depleted their stock. The words 'BONUS PLAY' appear to indicate this bonus, but destroying all of the blue balloons a second time will not allow the player to gain another clown (the bonus can be activated while the player is using the extra clown). This may differ in certain levels like 7 and 8, where all 3 rows of balloons must be destroyed in order to active the bonus.
A clown will die if the player fails to receive them with the seesaw at the bottom of the screen, and 2 measures of the funeral march in Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 are played as a sound effect. The player can continue if they still have stock remaining, or if they have been rewarded the bonus play. When the player has depleted all of their stock, the screen switches over to the demo screen, where the number of balloons is the same as that of the player's before they lost their final clown. If the player has reached over a certain amount of points, they can play one more time like the balloon bonus (the availability of this bonus may differ, as indicated in the list of rules shown after the player enters the credits). The player cannot gain another clown in the same way during this play bonus.
More details about this game can be found on
The newest version of this game can be purchased on
You can control this game easily by using the keyboard of your PC (see the table next to the game). However, for maximum gaming enjoyment, we strongly recommend using a USB joystick that you simply plug into the USB port of your computer. If you do not have a joystick, buy a suitable USB controller in Amazon or in some of your favorite online stores.
3 different online emulators are available for Circus Atari. These emulators differ not only in the technology they use to emulate old games, but also in support of various game controllers, multiplayer mode, mobile phone touchscreen, emulation speed, absence or presence of embedded ads and in many other parameters. For
maximum gaming enjoyment, it's important to choose the right emulator, because on each PC and in different Internet browsers, the individual emulators behave differently. The basic
features of each emulator available for this game Circus Atari are summarized in the following table:

Playoffs Week 2
So we've reached Week 2 of 4 in the UGC Plat Playoffs. For all other divisions, they'll be welcoming in Week 1, set to find their way into placement medals or disappointment. For Platinum, 4 teams still remain, but 2 are in the hot seat with an elimination match coming up on Monday.
It's important to note that this coming Thursday will not host the Lower Bracket Finals due to Thanksgiving, instead it will take place the following morning between two of the remaining 3 teams.
Let's talk about last week.
(Home Team vs Away Team)
The Kids (7-0) vs Chill Penguins (4-3)
Predicted outcome: 2-0 The Kids
Final score: 2-0 The Kids
Match length + Logs: Ashville: 17:50 // http://logs.tf/1568452 | Steel: 1 2 3
First, I can admit when I was wrong and I said Bv would get shut out completely against The Kids. After 4 straight round wins (3 on Ashville, 1 on Steel) Bv came out strong and toppled The Kids, forcing an overtime half on Steel- we'll get into those details a little later though.
Ashville wasn't really close overall, which was anticipated. The Kids, superior in both coordination and DM, put both to good use to prevent Bv from taking a round or allowing any of them to put up some crazy numbers.
On the Bv side, whymeo continues to have some success on the map, but unfortunately the rest of her team couldn't really keep up. Most posted negative numbers, and a third of the fragging classes couldn't even break double digits. It's part of the reason that The Kids were able to put up almost 50 more frags in the short 18 minute match.
Nope, The Kids had little intention to let a sliver of hope reach the Bv roster. They kept the rounds relatively short, not allowing Bv much cap time, their players stayed alive (Nursey died twice) and all but one player reached double digits with 3 players combining for half of their teams total frag-power.
I think it was safe to say that this was The Kids map through and through. For Bv, it's a performance they won't soon forget, as a number of their players seemed to struggle a bit more than they would have hoped. However, there was still a map left for Bv to try and take over.
The first half of Steel was again, expected. Looking to be on their way to a quick 2-0 on the map before hitting the showers, The Kids let Bv cap in 9:30 minutes, maybe not the best time when you're supposed to be a completely dominant team, but they did manage to come back the next round and post up a 5:30 time. Yeah, victory was imminent.
The second half was when the surprise happened. After being bullied around, Bv decided they weren't going to go down too easily. It looked all but wrapped up when The Kids put up another time of 5 and change, but Bv set a blazingly fast 4 minute time to tilt a number of the Kids. What's so surprising about this round is how Bv just came out and outplayed them. There weren't any huge heroics. 3 of their players tied for the most frags with 11 each, but it was rounded out by their bottom 3 combining for 9 total. Nope, Bv actually just caught The Kids off guard and played the round perfectly, going ABCE.
They carried the momentum into the final half. Now riding high on their round win, Bv put more wind into their sails after completing another round in 4:30 with the same ABCE push. How could things go wrong now? Well, at the end of the day, The Kids are the number one seed for a reason. They've dropped rounds this season, they understand how to regain momentum, and they just came out and stunned Bv with a 3:38 time. Build me up, just to break me down, eh? The most surprising part, assuming the logs are correct, is the fact that The Kids had the chance to go right around the world with an ABCDE in just that short amount of time.
Regardless, Bv put up a fight. They're not out of the brackets yet and will hope to break the dreaded 4-win ceiling that's been placed over their head. Some say it's some black magic that haunts the roster since its inception. Others say that one of their players might be cursed. This reporter now believes that it's something that Ender has programmed in all those sleepless nights, to protect himself from those he fears the most…
Dunning-Kruger Effect v4 (6-1) vs Fast Forward (4-3)
Predicted outcome: 2-0 dK
Final score: 2-0 dK
Match length + Logs: Ashville: 17:23 // http://logs.tf/1568449 | Swiftwater: 20:33 // http://logs.tf/1568484
Cast: Sigafoo, Rogue, and VoxDei: https://www.twitch.tv/sigafoo/v/101148209
I expected this game to go easily in the favor of dK, but I didn't expect it to be this easy.
Fast Forward just seemed to fold and die early on in the match and never recover. Although they started off with a solid mid on Ashville, looking like they showed up to win, dK quickly put to bed any whispers of an upset.
Not only did dK hold an advantage DM-wise, they won the map with superior strategy as well. Although we saw Fast Forward over commit a few times and try to get aggressive in an attempt to prevent dK from re-taking the point, dK wasn't fooled and played off of this aggressiveness, stealing picks and playing off of their uber/player advantages to reclaim the point.
Statistically, the map was dominated by dK as you would expect. The flank of spamfest and Bobby, along with bo4r took the top 3 spots for frags, until watterson (who rang for Fast Forward) eked in above odb.
One other thing I'd like to mention is how much work Bobby did for his team on the map. He picks up the top frag, 3rd in damage behind both Demos, and managed to secure 3 of Coldster's 4 deaths. Someone stop this man.
Swiftwater ended up being a similar storyline to Ashville. Swap "fighting point" with "bashing your head repeatedly at a brick wall" and it'll sum up Fast Forward's offensive attempts.
Truth be told, I wouldn't say a lack of coordination was preventing Fast Forward from playing well on Swiftwater, rather lack of execution. When their struggles hit trying to tackle 2nd and 3rd, it wasn't until Spu walked in with a drop on Metawe that Fast Forward found their footing. Once this happened, of course the floodgates opened, but they lacked the ability to get that crucial pick in a timely manner. The problem is, you can't rely on your Spy to manage the drop at every point.
Fast Forward had little trouble once they had an advantage, it was just waiting for someone on their team to get them into a position where they would have it. Alas, the 11:27 they set would not be enough. dK came through, capping in 7 minutes to win the game since they did not play a full map.
There's a lot for Fast Forward to look forward to on Swiftwater come Monday, since they'll be facing a softer opponent with Bv and they looked okay on the map once someone could step up and get the pick they were waiting for. We'll take a look at that next.
Playoffs – Week 2 Matchups
(Home team vs Away team)
The Kids (8-0) vs Dunning-Kruger Effect v4 (7-1)
Predicted outcome: 2-1 dK
Maps: Lakeside, Steel, Swiftwater
Lakeside: 3-2 dK
The first map in the BO3 will be Lakeside. Although The Kids' pick, I actually think Lakeside should favor dK's firepower.
After watching Bobby's performance last week, I'm confident that he can almost single-handedly carry dK to a victory on another open KOTH map. Coordinating bombs with his fellow flank members, or Vipa will be a key part in dK's victory on the map, especially if bo4r can get going and prevent the front line from being mobbed by The Kids' combo.
Still, it's hard for me to see dK taking the map cleanly. The Kids chose the map for a reason, and it's that level of experience and individual skill that's kept them at the top of the league for yet another season. It's easy to flip everything around and say the same for the side of The Kids. Obviously Etney and Vand/Slemnish (unconfirmed, but for the sake of the article I will assume Slemnish) will be a big part of what changes the game for The Kids. It's going to rely more on the Scout however to contest the flank of dK. Yosh still obviously has his tremendous upside and did perform better than bo4r in their match in Week 6, so he might still be able to carry that edge into the match.
At the end of it though, it still feels like this one is in dK's hands, they certainly have the tools to take The Kids' map.
Steel: 2-1 The Kids
I think the most controversial of my picks will be The Kids taking Steel. This stems from a few things.
For one, I full expect Slemnish to absolutely wreak havoc on the entirety of dK. Although Billy, Bobby, and Spamfest are not easy opponents, there's just too much skill there to be denied his right to feast.
So who else changes the game? I think Nursey's ability to stay alive will swing things heavily in The Kids' favor as well. If Metawe struggles to keep up with flank pressure and feint's prowess, having Nursey up consistently will be a huge part in The Kids taking this map, especially since Giraffe and Vanilla Love will do a lot to protect her.
The Kids also had really strong offensive performances against Bv. Obviously a much weaker team, but it does show knowledge with both coordination and execution, which will need to be top notch to take the map. dK will also be at a disadvantage because the team hasn't really played the map that much. They got a forced bye week when Steel came up in the regular season and have it played it outside of scrims. The standard meta doesn't change much, but not having put your plan into action with your players could be a bad sign. We'll see how dK stacks up with The Kids' more prepared roster.
Swiftwater: 2-1 dK
This map will be the one to send dK into the Grand Finals and The Kids into the risk of falling past 2nd place. Swiftwater is a map that will diminish the advantages for The Kids and highlight some of the dK strengths.
We saw how well dK played the map last Monday, preventing any chance that Fast Forward had to force a 3rd map. If dK can play the exact same way (except be more Spy aware) they should be able to take the match over The Kids.
The flank strength of The Kids, namely their Scout Slemnish, will not really have the freedom to do too much offensively until they reach the open area on the 4th cap. With this, Bobby should be able to play more aggressively in the tight hallways of the first few cap points on Swiftwater, which should be a huge boom for dK.
A lot is still going to hinge on the team who can execute better, and really there's no way to predict who that will be. Both combos are made up of some of the best that UGC has to offer and the differences and advantages are minute between the two. It's a coin flip and I've landed on dK.
With the competitiveness and the mere shreds that I can call advantages, the two teams are really so close in skill, the winner will go to who is more prepared, which no one on the outside can really predict. For me, dK might take this overall with their flank presence and the aforementioned combo strength. The tossup between yosh+feint vs bo4r+vipa, will again cause ripples to determine the team that is safe from a potential 3rd place finish.
At the very least, we'll hope that those shreds really do end up making the difference and we'll see a high-powered, close matchup that will make us hyped for the likely rematch come Grand Finals time. See you all there.
Fast Forward (4-4) vs Chill Penguins (4-4)
Predicted outcome: 2-1 [››]
Maps: Millstone, Ashville, Swiftwater
The lower bracket match is going to be an awesome clash between these two teams who were all but guaranteed playoffs pretty early on in the season.
Truth be told, it's not much of a surprise these two ended up in the lower bracket considering the teams they were going up against, but the fight for a guaranteed 3rd place is going to mean a lot will be on the line for both teams.
Looking at the map choices, it looks like it favors Fast Forward overall. Although Bv benefit from their Millstone pick, Swiftwater has been a stronger map for Fast Forward, and their DM outmatches Bv's which should play into their hands for Ashville.
Millstone: 2-0 Bv
There isn't too much to mention here, honestly. It's a pretty new map and most of Highlander is still scratching their heads on how to play it (and praying they won't have to.) Bv on the other hand has scrimmed the map religiously and are probably one of the strongest teams on the map because of it, performing well on the map in scrims as well as in their match.
Fast Forward's combo will definitely be more potent than #mcm's from Week 7, but the strategy on how to play the map should be in Bv's favor and lend them to a pretty solid win on the map putting them up 1-0. Fast Forward will have to be careful playing a map down in the series, but they should go in with the expectation that they'll have to win the latter two maps. A win on Millstone is just gravy.
Ashville: 3-1 Fast Forward
This is where the fun begins. Bv's performances on the map have been lackluster at best, although not much more can be said about Fast Forward. Both played their Upper Bracket rivals on the map and didn't do much to stop the 3-0 roll.
However, pretty much down the line Fast Forward holds and advantage. Although this seems to be whymeo's map, keith should be able to shut her down relatively well with a little help. The big plus in the favor of Bv however is the advantage of crab_f and American over crimson and Oblivion. Although Oblivion hasn't been a roll over at all this season, if American is at the top of his game, he should easily be able to wipe up the flank with crab_f. The flank battle will be tight, but it will be decided by those two players, no question.
The combo gets hard to judge. Exile is quickly becoming one of the premier Demomen in the league, but m66 is a silent killer that always seems to put up over 500 DPM regardless of the situation you put him in. The big factor will be carcin (who is playing for civ this week) over Paals. As I've mentioned before, Paals seems to be struggling a lot this season, which may be holding back the Bv combo, which is not what they need against a combo of Exile, carcin, and Coldster. Even if for argument's sake, you call m66 and Exile even, carcin and Coldster hold a clear advantage over Paals and Gamma and that could very well be the difference that changes the entire game for Fast Forward.
I am looking forward to seeing how the pick classes do in this one. Blinx and sully should be a close matchup, likely decided by who is slightly more supported by his team. However, considering how poor Ashville can be for Snipers, I don't expect either to be the hero in this matchup. Finally, for Spu and Kris18, the numbers will also likely be similar. It really depends on what team is going to spend more time spychecking. Does that sound like a cop out? It is.
Swiftwater: 2-1 Fast Forward
This map definitely has the change to be a toss up, but I'd have to believe Fast Forward hold an advantage for most of the reasons I explained before. It comes down to the combo, and Fast Forward has that no doubt. Although their performance in the half against dK last week was less-than-impressive, Bv is nowhere near the level of dK.
Both teams came out with surprises in Week 1 when this map was played in the regular season. Fast Forward by taking a round off of The Kids, and Bv by beating Turquoise Jeep. It's only fitting that one of their seasons will end on the same map.
I also definitely expect Sully and Spu to come out with a better performance than blinx and Kris18 coming off of their Ashville victory. If these guys are getting picks, the Fast Forward combo will not be stopped and will skip their way to last.
So what does Bv need to stop this? They need to prevent themselves from falling into disadvantages on Defense. In all honesty, I'm not too worried about Bv finding a way to push offensively, their danger more lies on them being able to stop Fast Forward from simply walking all over their cap time. Poor uber trades, players feeding, uber drops, etc., will be the death of Bv considering the firepower on the Fast Forward side and the aggressive nature of Fast Forward. These little mistakes will happen and Fast Forward will capitalize. TL;DR- Both teams will have a strong offense so the only chance Bv will have is if they keep their defensive advantages, considering the inherit advantage Fast Forward holds.

Many people speak of unconditional love but rarely live it. Instead, when they see a condition that causes them to feel negative emotions, they demand a change in the condition; but in doing so, they set themselves on a long and uncomfortable path of attempting to control others in order to feel good.
When controlling others is necessary in order for you to feel good, you must confine yourself to a very small world over which you can gain control, and then you must give more time and energy than you possess to this impossible effort.
–The Teachings of Abraham in the book The Astonishing Power of Emotions by Esther and Jerry Hicks
Neo-Conservatives/Christ-Cons may not be the only who "attempt to control others in order to feel good," but they've certainly been the most visible. They've been losing the Culture Wars for decades by refusing to recognize the truth in the statements above. Until they replace their dogged determination to control with completely unconditional love, they will continue to experience anger, sorrow, and fear as they watch the world progress beyond their subjective views of morality.
Women will never lose the right to choose. State legislatures will continue to recognize equal rights for lesbians and gays. The world will never work exactly how the Neo-Cons think it should (thank God). When they accept these things and recognize that the doctrine they follow is just as fallible as they are, maybe then they'll emerge from their "very small worlds" and turn their focus to living their own lives.

This card features the Holly Jolly Layers hostess stamp set and the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies.
I started out with embossing a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the Pine Bough Textured Impressions embossing folder.
I then added a piece of designer series paper from the Warmth & Cheer paper stack on a card base of Garden Green cardstock.
I stamped the greeting from Holly Jolly Layers twice, once in Garden Green then again in Basic Black on Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Layering Squares Framelits.
With the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies I cut out some pines with Garden Green and Basic Black cardstock.
For the pinecone I stamped an image from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Basic Black on Whisper White and then cut it out with the coordinating die.
To finish this card off I added a bow of Whisper White Baker's Twine, some white and black sequins from the Metallics Sequins Assortment and some shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
Happy Stampin'-

Smart is the world that is spreading like a wild fire globally. Everyone wants everything to be smart. Right from their kitchen appliances to their automobiles, people desire for smart solutions for everything. When you are dealing with a smart life, you generally have a smart app that does all your work for you. While at an individual level having apps can solve all your troubles, is it the same when you are dealing with things at an enterprise level?
It is not really simple to involve in mobile app development at an enterprise level. You will find that you need to work on distributed technologies and multiple environments just to make sure you have attained the right software level. In case you are looking for mobile app development at an enterprise level then you need to avoid some major things and take into account some of the basic details. This way you will be able to develop the right mobile app for an enterprise.
User Experience is a Necessity
User experience is of utmost importance for enterprise mobile app development. You should always have the best possible user experience especially with regards to mobile apps. Right from form factor to usage of the app, everything should be taken into account. Intuitive apps are a must at enterprise levels, and so when you are creating mobile apps pay special attention to interface of the app. Make sure you plan the mobile first method of designing an app.
Sensors & Form Factors to be Included
It has become a necessity in the present enterprise level apps to include both sensors and form factor as part of the mobile app development. Let's try and view the modern day mobile. What all does it include? It has 3G, LTE, camera, GPS, accelerometers, Bluetooth and WiFi. It's time that you use all these sensors included in a mobile as part of the mobile app development. You can include all these features as part of your mobile app, and make it interesting and interactive for the user.
Mapping Third Party Apps
When you are involved with enterprise level mobile app development, you need to understand that you have to integrate the various popular apps as part of your business app in order to sustain the business app. Social networking apps involved with your basic business app should be interesting and interactive enough. Mapping traffic information or other relevant information would make your app interactive enough to the consumers. You can even have social media feeds to play an important role in your mobile app development process. Integrating with third party apps is always great.
Empowering Users of Mobile App
When you are planning on developing a mobile app at an enterprise level, you should consider thinking about your users and planning on something for them. While mobile apps at an enterprise level is all about business, it should also have something in it for the users. How empowered do the users feel when using this app is an important question that you must think of answering before you actually begin developing the app.
The mobile app should be productive and well planned. You should have an interestingly laid out app that would create the right essence and relation between you and your user. Even a small task that is minimized thanks to the app can become a success with the users. Considering something that helps the users for sure.
Real Time Enterprise Apps are Best
When you are dealing with enterprise level mobile app development, consider having a real time mobile app developed. You should always support and help the user real time. The interface should be real time and the experience should be good too. You could have apps that deal with logistics management, CRM or any other third party apps or software that would be intuitive and real time making your users feel like using them
Aping Consumer Apps is a Bad Idea
When you are going on with mobile app development for enterprise apps, make sure you don't have a carbon copy of the consumer apps. It is always good to have a reference of the consumer app and try to get an idea of reference and other things from the app, but it is truly a bad idea to copy the whole app. Think about it.

In Malaysia, when a person is sentenced to death, most of the time it is not highlighted in the media or by the government. When an execution takes place, there is no media coverage before the event, and certainly also no highlighting of it when it happens.
The figures and data of persons sentenced to death - or executed is also not highlighted. in fact, you do not even find it in the web pages of the Attorney General's Chambers, the Police or even the Home Ministry.
If it is meant to act as a deterrent, then logically, the government must act in such a way - to show people that they really will be punished in that way. In comparison, when it comes to death caused by road accidents, these are highlighted in the media, and there are even notice boards putting fear into people to drive carefully in accordance with the law, which states the number of deaths in these accidents.
Hence, the death penalty, the Barisan Nasional government argues is a deterrent - but alas, their actions do not support this. The failure to highlight these sentences, executions and necessary statistics to put in the fear in others not to commit the crime maybe because the Malaysian government itself is embarrassed of this death penalty in the laws. Remove it then - what is the BN government waiting for.
Now, the only way to get clear statistics about the death penalty is through questions asked in Parliament - and some good MPs and Senators do take the trouble to ask these questions and then circulate the answers...
Some are just not bothered, for after all it does not affect them or their family, and maybe also because they just do not care. Some do not want to deal with the question of death penalty because Islam provides for death penalty - but the point that must be made is that these death penalty and executions are happening by virtue of civil laws - not Islamic laws, and certainly not in accordance to stringent requirement of evidence as provided for in Islam.
Christianity also sees the death penalty as being a form of punishment as provided for in the Old Testament - but Jesus changes this. We remember the story in the Bible where a women was caught for adultery, and was to be stoned to death in accordance with the Old Testament law. What Jesus did was to stop it? He did not say that it must be proven in accordance to a certain standards before the women be executed by stoning. He challenged the persons who were going to put effect that law by saying that whoever has not sinned shall cast the first stone. And after all had left, he told the woman to go and not sin again. That was a clear law that imposed the death penalty, and Jesus's response must be a guidance for all of us. Forgiveness - and liberty with the advice not to sin again.
Likewise, in all major religions be it Islam, Christianity, Buddhism - one element is repentance, forgiveness and another chance. You may not want a person guilty of an offence to go free - so sentence him to imprisonment not kill him/her.
"And early in the morning He came again into the Temple , and all the people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them."
"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?"
"This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him."
"But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground."
"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."
"When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?"
"She said, No man, Lord."
MALAYSIA"And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:2-11 KJV)

Selecting the Best Hose Reels
If your old garden hoses are already worn out because of the frequency of use that it has experienced throughout the years, then perhaps it is about time that you find a suitable replacement that can offer more that your desired number of years of service from a durable product. To learn more about the different garden hoses that are out on the market to date, just make a simple search.
There are plenty of garden reels that are available today and they can be quite confusing as to deciding which type, style and brand are going to best suit your specific needs. In this article, you will read some guides on how to choose the hose reels and some more hose reels advice so that you can be armed with the best information once you are to make your purchase.
There are different aspects that one should consider upon selecting a perfect garden reel for your particular needs. Some of them are actually listed in brief form below:
- You must first decide what is the length of the garden hose is that is right for you.
Most hoses normally come in 25-foot increments. Measure how large is your yard? For small yards, a 25-footer hose reel may already be everything you need. You must keep in mind that the longer the hose, the lower the pressure there will be when the water finally reaches the end. If you have front and back yard spigots, you can consider two 25-foot hoses, one for back and other at the front. How far from the water supply is your garden? If your garden is at the end of your back yard and the only spigot you have is in the front of the house, then a 100-foot hose might be your only option. You must keep in mind that garden hoses can be linked together very easily so an additional 25 feet in length can be simply by linking another hose to the end.
- You must set how much do you want to spend?
You do get what you pay for in a garden hose depending on your budget. Hoses can vary widely in price. You must expect to spend about $20-30 for a good quality, multi-ply 50-foot hose; but prices may be higher for top-of-the-line, durable flat garden hoses.
- Try to avoid buying cheap garden hoses.
You will really regret it later. Poor quality hoses have a very short life expectancy and they are prone to kink up during constant use. Hoses are constructed from one to six plies. A six-ply garden hose will last a long time as long as it is properly stored during winter.
- You must check to see if the hoses you would like to purchase carry a good warranty.
Most reputable companies will guarantee their garden hoses from leaking or cracking for a reasonable amount of time. If you are thirsting for more information about hose reels, you can learn more at gardentoolscenter.com.

Peugeot - Rolling Stones
My last scene in this commercial was the scene with the alien tapes of the rolling stones, they are like gigantic monsters in a music world! This scene would open the commercial. It's sad that the job was aborted, I'd love to see this ideas animated. Everyone of the Fantastic Filmes and Post were very talented and was very nice work with them.
Peugeot - Rolling Stones
This year I had the opportunity to work with the guys of Fantastica Filmes and Post in a great work for the anniversary of 50th years of the Rolling Stones. It was some concepts and thumbnails for a tv commercial competition. Unfortunately the job was aborted but the concepts could show a little of the crazy ideas of the guys that I work with. I'd like to thank you the awesome director Marlon Klug (the most crazy mind in the world) from fantastica, it was a great honor work with him.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta
I've noticed that this whole recipe blogs are pretty popular so this time I will be posting a recipe
I am such a picky person when it comes down to food. I don't eat any type of meat unless its chicken I don't eat seafood and I don't eat veggies. Yes I know it sound kind of crazy but that's just how I am, and many of you who know me know that I love my bdubs but there is one thing that beats bdubs. With that being said if I could eat pasta and chicken everyday I would probably be the happiest person.
Whenever I get a chance to cook for my family I absolutely love it. One of my families favorites is the chicken fettuccine alfredo pasta I make.
First you will need to get a large pot and fill it up 2/3 with water make sure you don't over fill it because then it will over flow once it starts to boil and also make sure you don't under-fill it because this will cause the pasta to be all sticky. Once you have done this set the pot on the stove and put on the stove to high. You will then need to add 1 or 2 tbsp of salt. Then you will have to wait for the water to boil. Once it starts to boil add in the pasta and stir it make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom. Wait and good 15 to 20 mins after the time has passed stir it around a bit and carefully take a strand of pasta out and bite it if it is hard and white in the middle leave the pasta on the stove for another 5 to 10 mins. Lastly once it's done turn off the stove and carefully drain the pasta.
Now let's go on the the Alfredo sauce. I don't like the ones that are in the stores so I make my own.
Here's the recipe !
1/4 Cup of butter 1 1/2 cups of Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 Cup of heavy cream 1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley
1 Garlic clove crushed
First you will need to melt the butter in a saucepan on medium low heat. After the butter is melted you will add the cream and simmer it for about 5 minutes. After the five minutes have passed you will need to add the garlic and the paremesan cheese you will have to stir quickly so that the cheese doesnt melt and start to clump up. Lastly you will stir in the parsley and serve it.
Bon Appétit !!!!
Never give up you don't know how close to your dreams you are .
Help those who are in need.
Why is it that we hear bad things about other places rather than hearing things about those who are in of help.? The media has made us think about war, deaths, narcotics, celebrities, and stuff like that causing us to have hatred towards other country. I'm more than sure that other countries aren't as bad as the media makes them look like. Who knows maybe another country is making America seem dangerous and bad because of the things that have happened here but those thing shouldn't be the highlight of America we live here and honestly it's a perfectly fine place to live in. I mean obviously there are some things that happen in America that make it look dangerous but just because things happen around the world doesn't mean we should have hatred nor should we be scared of other places and the people in them. Instead of stereotyping people and counties we should help each other not just for our safety but for the sake of our future generations for the kids we will one day bring into the world, so they can feel safe and so the they can get along with others of alternate cultures. As I was doing research about those who are in need of help I thought about the food drive we hold at school even though to some it may not seem like much it's a blessing to those who receive the food. They're like wow I can live another day thanks to people who were able to donate this food. To us it may not seem like such a big deal but it really it. We are putting smiles on faces and giving others another days of life. I also came across websites in which you are able to sponsor younger kids who can't go to school or have a good meal due to financial issues. To me it is extremely important to help others and to make others feel loved and cared for just seeing them with a smile makes me happy. They didn't chose to live the life they are living they were brought into it and just because they are not as privileged as others doesn't mean they wont have a successful life. On the other hand I feel like those who grow up not having much work harder to get the things they never had growing up and also to give their family the better life. We should stop letting the media get to us and start helping those who are in need so the world can become a happier place
I'm sure we have all heard of bullying at least once in their life if not even more, because it's such a big problem and everyone either contributes to it or they are the victim. Now you don't have to actually hit or verbally abuse someone but if you see that someone is being hurt and you don't speak up then you are contributing to it by letting the bully continue to hurt them. Many adults sometimes ignore it because they say that the kids are little and that they are just playing games. This just makes the problem worse it makes these kid start to think it is perfectly fine to be doing these types of things. Many kids that are bullies are the way the are because they get bullied at home or they see one of their parents abusing the other making the kid think that its a normal thing to do. Nearly 3.2 million students are victims of bullying 160,000 students will skip so that they don't have to face their bully, and 1 in 10 students will drop out of school because of this issue. These bullies don't just do this cause they want to have fun or because they want to seem cool. They do it because they are hurt they feel like less of a person and they need to make someone feel bad so that they can feel superior to them. They also do these types of thing because they are dying for attention and that is the sad thing like does someone really need to hurt someone so much that they consider suicide as an answer because they aren't secure of themselves? I recently heard of this case that this 10 year old boy beat his 2 year old brother to death and they are thinking about putting him in jail for life, but what they didn't say about this boy was that he was beat when he was younger by his step-dad the day he killed his brother he was angry about something his dad did to him and he took his anger out on his brother. Now i'm not saying that was he did was right because it wasn't but if his mom would have sent him to therapy or maybe if his mom would have stayed and not make him watch his brother watch it would have all been prevented. Bullying isn't the answer to any question we should try to listen the kids around up so they don't grow up with anger.
School Uniforms
Lately I have been hearing people say that they want school uniforms and that they are needed for our safety but I completely disagree with this because for one you can't express who you are like you create a fake image of yourself just to please others, and two because people are creating a false image of themselves you don't really know who they are you know? Lets say that there are gangsters in the school right, and they all have to dress up in a uniform you wouldn't be able to distinguish them. Also, they say that it would be good because people would be saving up money but if you really think about it people are going to go out and buy clothes whether they need it or not you know they are going to need clothes for outside of school ? Like they're not just getting it because of school. They need something to change into after school is over. I feel like they would be spending more money if we were to get uniforms because now not only are you going to be getting outside of school clothes but now you're going to be getting school uniforms that will only be used during school and also you're going to be washing more clothes because now not only will you have they one outfit but you will have two outfits so now instead of just having one load of dirty clothes you'll have two. There are also parents who can't afford having to buy uniforms and it would be crazy if they like had to cut their grocery budget just it get a uniform for their kids they shouldn't have to do that they should give their kids what they can. This isn't the real problem though let's go back to what I was saying about not being able to express yourself, I feel like we should always be allowed to show who we are. Most of us dress how we are feeling that day and people know if we are upset or if something is up so that they can help us with it and if we were to wear uniforms I feel like we wouldn't really be able to see how someone feels. For example us as girls wear makeup right?, and if we are upset or we are out of it we don't put any on most of the times we don't it and in some occasion we don't put it on cause we don't have time but most of the times if were not wearing it we are upset and we just didn't want to do this usually tell other people we are upset about something and they ask if everything is okay. For that reason it is that I believe we should be allowed to wear whatever we want to wear.
How bad do you want to be successful? Many give up because they constantly get let down or because they try to act cool in front of their friends. Like okay lets see what that's going to get you later on in life. Lets be real we all need to be successful right. We all want fancy cars we all want to live in a mansion when we grow up so on so on but many people don't try in high school so when they get to college it's like 0_0 what am I doing this is what makes many drop out of college. They don't realize how different it is than high school and they play around in college go to parties and then when they see that they are so behind and they can't really make up things they get stressed and drop it. In all honest its up to you if you want to be successful or not. You can't be letting people constantly bringing you down and telling you that you can't do what you want to do. They can't live your life for you. You have to be willing to make mistakes and fail so you can keep on trying until you succeed because as you keep making mistakes and failing you will learn your lesson and you will know what not to do next time in order to get what you want. You have to be willing to do the right thing at the right time because if you do something under the table or whatever when you can choose to do something wrong you can literally lose everything so all your hard work and all your money goes to the trash. Also to be successful isn't to have a lot of money or to have things other people can't have it's about being able to do something you love to do and are willing to do it every single day of your life it's about being happy with what you do. imagine if you had to do something you highly disliked because you did it cause of the money like yeah sure you'll have what you want to be you will never be happy with what you do and many of the people who do things because of the money fail classes in highs school and or in college because they're just not passionate about it so they really didn't care about classes and stuff like that. Many people don't go to college because none of their family went so they think that they wont be able to make it but image being the first one your parents would be so happy. so don't let things like that get to you. Do something you are passionate about and prove to everyone that if you really want something you will succeed at it !

My client has a web address: PannierRacksForAnyBikes.com . They got it from Network Solutions. The address is re-directed to their other address: OldManMountain.com . That is their real site.
They would like to know how many people actually go to the PannierRacks site. The Control Panel for their main site apparently lists the two addresses as "Direct Entry" or something like that, meaning that they cannot say when people come to their OldMan site from the Pannier re-direct.
Any idea how to find out how many hits they are getting on the address, which is just used as a re-direct, without being hosted?
2 answers
Easiest way would probably be to redirect to a different, specific url. For example, instead of directing them to
http://OldManMountain.com, direct them to
http://OldManMountain.com/?redirected=true. Or, you can alternatively go to a specific page, record it in a database, and then redirect them to the main page. This involves another page though.
Wow! Thanks!
Now, I'm not very smart about these things. Can we just redirect using this link: http://OldManMountain.com/?redirected=true and will the Control Panel record this as a page hit? Or, do we have to make some kind of script to record the hit?
Anyway, I am going to try just re-directing using that link and see. Thank you!
- Really, it depends on the analytics package in use. Some will some won't. If they don't, you can always put a check at the top of the page, and if redirect is true, then mark it. Just to warn you though, doing this will cause false positives if people hit the back button, and the page has to reload. Using a page in between, you can eliminate this if done correctly.

Dogon pendant (Profile view)
Three quarters view Profile view Maps
Dogon pendants depicting a human figure are extremely rare. This one,
whose legs are bent and slightly apart, raises one arm to cover its
face, the other lies on the knee. The mouth is half-opened.
This object would be attributed to the Tellem or the Soninke. It
could be from the Inland Niger Delta region or the Guimbala, the
western Bandiagara cliffs area. The figure's gesture could be
referred to gestures of Dogon ritual life, like people hiding their
face in their hands at funerals.
This representation is carried out with great care, drawing attention
to the distress, through the sensitivity of the features and the
sensuality of the forms. This sculpture is undoubtedly one of the
most moving in our exhibition.
11th / 15th century.
Object #2962
Origin :
Mali (Inland Niger Delta area)
Type :
Jewellery and materials
Ethnic group :
Tellem / Dogon
Material :
Oxidized pewter
Size :
H = 2.2 inches

Language and Culture
Danish is not an issue at all. We all speak English at work and my free time is spent with people that are happy to speak in English. I have had some rather fun experience at the supermarket though, but that is just funny and a part of living abroad.
People here don't necessary work less hours they are more flexible in using their time.
Danish students are fluent in English so no problems communicating with them but their academic culture is very different and unique even compared with that of other Anglo-saxon countries.

Have you ever felt concerned about how companies might use all of that personal information about you they are collecting?
Here are three of the ways that today's most progressive companies are using this information to not only influence your decision-making processes, but also increase their bottom line:
- They customize discounts based upon individual characteristics. This year, predictive marketing, or marketing based upon a consumer's specific preferences, behavior, and social relationships, has been the rage. But it has quickly become just the new-normal. Progressive companies are using these consumer specific preferences to adjust not only the specific products and services they offer to each consumer, but also the price, frequency, and duration of specific discounts based upon each individual's predicted propensity to buy. If you have a habit of quickly moving through the purchasing process online, these companies will mark you as an easy sale and offer fewer discounts to you in the future. This is done by comparing the path taken by each individual consumer during the purchasing process to the ideal path the company wants each consumer to follow—the one that yields the highest close rate and maximizes revenue and profit.
- They use where you are to change tactics. There used to be a great divide between digital and physical locations that a consumer frequented, but smart companies have learned that their ability to influence consumer behavior is maximized when they touch consumers at critical intersections of the two. Ever been told not to go food shopping when you are hungry? Same theory. Consumers, who can be targeted with specific offers just as they enter a competitor's store, when they turn off an exit ramp on the highway, or even while they are engaged in show rooming, are more susceptible to counteroffers or different combinations of incentives. The technology necessary to influence consumers in these moments ranges from intelligent antennae that interrogates and broadcasts to any device in their area to Wi-Fi networks that report back consumer search criteria for analysis and mobile applications that monitor and report on the consumer smartphone behavior.
- They know what you want. Ever start a search for one thing but quickly find yourself buying that product you've been thinking about getting for the past few weeks? Smart companies are able to use a combination of search engine data, social behavior, click-through data, and mouse movements to understand what a consumer really wants even if they haven't clearly shared that information. Building upon the impulse buybehavior that companies have relied upon for decades, its digital equivalence relies on the combination of real-time data feedback and historical behavioral patterns to find a linkage between what a consumer is searching for and what they are most likely to actually buy. This technique doesn't get a consumer to buy extra batteries for an electronic device they've just purchased, it gets them to buy a new SLR camera right before they go on vacation—just so you have those memories captured for all eternity in extra-high resolution.
Progressive companies—or what I call "Big Social Mobile Enterprises"—are able to achieve these results by integrating digital initiatives, such as their social media, mobile technology, and internet activities, into each other and into their core business processes. The information gleaned from the resulting big data allows them to understand not only the larger trends associated with their consumer base, but also the unique and specific opportunities that exist with each individual consumer or customer they encounter.
