Who Can Be A Reseller?
One person wearing all the hats: sales, artist, web designer, developer, content writer, programmer, bookkeeper. They can't concentrate on converting leads to sales because they're being pulled left, right and sideways to hit delivery deadlines. Cyberplex can help by taking the technical workload off them. We'll do the artwork, designing and development.
2-Man Team
Generally a husband-and-wife team. More often than not, one person lands the sale and develops the website while the other handles the artwork and accounting. The same problem exists as with the "Individual" set-up in that the sales person is not able to generate enough sales as they're concentrating on hitting development deadlines. Cyberplex can help and even manage the entire project from start to end, representing the company by phone and email.
Website Company
A company of developers, artists, project managers, and sales people. The problem is the Owner is paying a fortune to keep such an expensive team going and needs many sales just to cover the salaries of their staff. Cyberplex can help by slashing the owner's costs. They can switch out their staff for our professional developers and artists but at a hugely reduced rate. The owner can keep their sales team and make more profit than ever before while delivering the same high level of quality.
Marketing & Design Company
Companies who traditionally produce signage, billboards, animations, artwork, and business cards. They often get asked for websites but don't have the required skill-set in-house. Instead of letting this sales opportunity pass them by, Cyberplex can handle the entire project from start to end. No technical knowledge required and we stamp their name on the finished website.
Outsource Addict
Someone who lands a sale then tries to use website developers from India or China via oDesk or Freelancer. They are quoted a seemingly cheap price from the development team but the final delivery is extremely poor quality. The individual puts in more money to hire a second team to fix the problems of the first team. It's a never ending loop of stress and panic. Cyberplex can help by smoothly delivering high quality websites while matching the price of an outsourced development team.
What Client's Say
Excellent project manager who designed me a stunning website. Very professional help, great pricing compared with others, responded quickly with needs. Smooth process, good communication, good result. Would highly recommend their service.
My project manager was very helpful and professional and always kept me informed of what stage the site was at. My instructions and ideas were listened to and followed. Nothing was too much trouble and it was exceptional value for money. I love my new website.
The Cyberplex team were consistent in their approach and knowledgeable in what was required to get the job done. I appreciate their constructive feedback, honesty and genuine interest. My project manager did a fantastic job of keeping the project moving along and the level of personal service was beyond my expectations.
We at ESA are so happy with Cyberplex Software's work and love our website. We found they are very professional with great communication & quick response. The team were helpful with every aspect of development to even hosting. Thank you for everything!
Cyberplex Software did a sensational job with our website. Very professional, helpful and competitive. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs help with their website.

- Available in vertical and horizontal styles, depending on application
- Constructed from aircraft quality 6061/6063 Billet Aluminum

Car customizers have been installing Billet Grilles on custom cars, lead sleds, and street rods for decades. It's a traditional modification that personalizes the vehicle and sets it apart from the cookie cutter sameness of factory original. A Billet Grille tells the world that you're not satisfied with ordinary, and a T-Rex Billet Grille announces that when you go custom, you go first class.
T-Rex Billet grilles are the standard worldwide for design and quality. They start with advanced CAD engineering and design, followed by rigorous testing for fit, finish, and durability. Once the design is approved, the finest aircraft quality 6061/6063 Billet Aluminum is used to produce the grille using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, like a custom jig for laser cutting materials, precision TIG welding, and meticulous assembly and quality control. The completed product is then finished in durable "Sinister Black" powder coating, or electro-polished to a high gloss finish.
The Billet Grille comes in vertical or horizontal style. Matching bumper grille(s) are available, if applicable, as well as custom grille badges to complete the custom look. Depending on application, the grille installs over the existing grille as a bolt-on overlay, or as an insert, where the center section of the factory grille is cut out and removed but the factory grille shell is retained. Hardware and detailed instructions are included to complete the installation, and the grille is backed by a limited 3-year warranty against finish defects and a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
T-Rex® has been creating the finest grilles and accessories for more than 15 years, and today is the world leader in aftermarket grille design and manufacturing. The company's product line includes traditional Billet Grilles, aggressive X-Metal Grilles, innovative Torch Series LED Light Grilles, luxurious Upper Class Grilles, and economical, easy to install Sport Series Grilles. At the company's 45,000 sq. ft. facility in Corona, California, a staff of over 100 people use the most advanced CAD engineering and design to develop cutting edge prototypes. These prototypes then undergo rigorous testing for fit, finish, and durability before they are Okayed for production in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. All T-Rex employees, from production to R&D to corporate staff, are all dedicated to one purpose: employ American craftsmanship to produce the finest grilles and accessories available anywhere on the planet.

For example, Sal goes on ESPN and states that Walsh was told by Belichick to be discrete. Yet Sal was at the very same press conference yesterday where the commissioner said that Walsh never met Belichick. He was told to keep it discrete by his supervisor, not Belichick. Yet now we get the numerous detailed analysis of Belichick was obviously lying about misinterpeting the rules because he told Walsh to be discrete. It's not just related to this case, but it seems this way in general. Journalism has no ethics anymore, it's nothing more then gossip and slander for pure pathalogical enjoyment. Opinions are fine, columnists and reporters are different, but they should at least write, report, and comment based on facts and not their own "misinterpretations." Did Sal make a mistake and misinterpret what the commissioner said yesterday or did Sal lie to make his point? I guess it goes both ways, but when it's the media the rest of us do not have the same voice to influence opinion and perception. It's just too bad because it gives "journalists" a free ticket to be irresponsible the vast majority of time.
I made this point yesterday in another thread. You have brought it up better than I did. IMO he either lied to make his point or he is incompetent. Either one, take your choice.
All these guys have painted themselves into a corner and look like idiots. So they will say anything,ignoring the facts to try and not look like the fools they are. They ran with the story,kept it going,and now have major egg on their collective faces,and they don't want to "Lose Face"
A little tangent of this: I think if someone called a radio host or emailed a writer and said something like "You were so sure there was a walk through tape. Now we know there wasn't one and you look foolish," they would deny claiming there was a tape. Their explanation would be "I always said 'IF there is a tape...' never 'There is a tape'..." Of course, everything they said after "if" dealt with the existence of a tape and what the ramifications and punishment would be. They never bothered to explore the possibility that there was no tape.

Why do we care where the septic drainfield is located? What can we do about it? This article and our accompanying septic system location videos explains how to find the leach field or drainfield portion of a septic system. We include sketches and photos that help you learn what to look for, and we describe several methods useful for finding buried drainfield components. (Septic drain fields are also called soil absorption systems or seepage beds.) Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Finding the Drainfield - Part 2Why Look For the Drainfield? How to Find the Septic FieldsSite planning requires septic drainfield location"How do I find my septic system's drainfield?" is a question we hear often. There are several reasons that you may need to know the accurate location of the leachfield or drainfield. Planning new site construction or house additions: If you are
planning to install a pool, deck, or to do any work that involves driving across your
property you want to keep these activities off of the drainfield, also called leach field which has the
job of treating and disposing of effluent from the septic tank. Planning site landscaping around the septic system: Other reasons for locating the leach field include septic system care such as keeping plants, particularly trees, away from this component lest roots clog it and lead to a septic system failure. If your septic area is as overgrown as that shown in this photo, you can assume that it is unlikely to be functional. See Planting Over Septic Systems for advice about what you should and should not plant over or near a septic system leachfield or drainfield to protect and not harm its operation. Septic System Maintenance Requires Knowing Drainfield and D-Box LocationsMaintaining the septic system: if you know where all of the septic components are, you can investigate their condition and perform maintenance. For example some systems are designed to permit adjustment of effluent flow among different drainfield sections, allowing sections to rest and recover. In the US EPA photograph at left the technician is adjusting a concentric opening cap on individual drainfield lines to balance effluent flow among them. Diagnosing septic system failures requires knowing septic drainfield locationDiagnosing septic backups, slow drains, or wet areas: if you know where the D-box (distribution box) and where the septic drainfield individual leach lines or seepage pits are located, you can explain possible wet areas as either probably harmless (distant from any known septic components), harmful (flooding the septic fields), or indicative of septic field failure (odors and effluent appearing at ground surface). When we found this wet area showing up under deep snow cover at the rear of a residential property we had to decide if it was groundwater, a local spring, or a failing septic system. It was pretty smelly which made everyone suspicious. The worst turned out to be true. We had a septic drainfield that had been installed in soil with high seasonal water table, lots of local groundwater and surface runoff from nearby Clover Hill in Poughkeepsie, NY, inadequate fill in the drainfield area, a failed steel septic tank, and a failed drainfield. Total replacement of the drainfield included a curtain drain to intercept local groundwater, site drainage corrections, additional fill for the drainfield area, and a new tank and drainfield system. Curtain drains or intercept drains can protect septic drainfields in areas of wet soils or surface and subsurface groundwater Also see How to Find the Septic Tank.

My friend made these. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll37wq1RPV1qznfi8o1_500.jpg
And they are much better than that piece of crap.
Well, technically "Doctor Whooves," as seen on the popular mash-up T-shirt in every Hot Topic everywhere.
This is a Funko vinyl figure as opposed to part of the main Hasbro toy line, so relax, guys who don't normally buy pony figures - you still won't have to go into the pink section of the store.
How many actors can say they have a cartoon horse that looks like them? David Tennant may have just won the weirdest bragging rights of the year. It is supposed to be Tennant, right?
More links from around the web!
@algaegirl328 Is it for the, thankfully, rare 20-something male who is both sci-fi nerd and obsessed with cartoons for little girls?
@ginnekomiko thank you for the thing. I don't know when that figure is comming out, but I want it.
Needs a Donna Noble pony. Or failing that, an Eleven/Amy/Rory set. Though Nine is my favorite NuWho doctor
@ZacharyWhitten I'm sure there was probably a RTD draft about an alternate universe where everyone was a pony, and probably bisexual too.
I'm confused, because isn't his official name Time Turner?
Course, I'm not a Brony and the show is pretty dull, but that's what Mighty Fine/purveyors of those hot topic shirts lead me to believe O.o
While this one was a coincidence that the fans made famous like with Derpy, there are also these background ponies with hourglass cutie mark: http://fdzeta.com/imgcache/238680dz.jpg
"@lazycoder: TIL there will be a My Little Pony Doctor Who toy. Doctor Whooves. http://t.co/ZIv3QU9U" N.B. @Ukelilli
And @LYT , I saw what you said in the Facebook post....
Now, I was busy all day, but when I got here....Well....
Now to buy a 10th Doctor action figure!
"How many actors can say they have a cartoon horse that looks like them?"
Well, between the cartoon & IDW's current comic book based on said cartoon (which I totally recommend), there's also the main cast of The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Jason Lee & Tom Selleck, & Donald Sutherland.God bless you, Easter eggs!
Also, I honestly kind of really want this. Looks pretty cool, & at least it's an actual MLP: FiM toy you won't have to feel embarrassed to own, in contrast to the "official" merchandise that makes me cringe whenever a commercial for it comes on...Also also, if David Tennant (or anyone associated with Doctor Who, for that matter) guest stars on this show, expect the internet to implode. We all know its coming.
"@geekami: A Doctor Who/My Little Pony Toy Is Happening #geek http://t.co/fcbz9538" @The_Con_Fluence
@greywulf @ToplessRobot It wasn't really planned, but fans just ran with it, calling him "My Little Timelord" or "The survivor of Gallopfry"
@GreenLite They're nice, but stop being so god damned serious. Are you taking this offensively or something?
@1RunRaven Or maybe there are women who think David Tennant is hot, Doctor Who is cool, still have a little bit of childhood in them, and maybe have kids?
@Kozmik_Pariah it is/isn't. that was his name when he was showing up in other official stuff like the MLP social game, but even that just changed his name to Dr. Whooves
@UberDorkGirlie Then you and the girls should love this too - http://t.co/xvnzIcxK lol
@Thiefofhearts @ToplessRobot The fact that you know all this both scares me and impresses me at the same time.
@ZacharyWhitten apparently, its been a background gag for awhile wasn't officially recognized until this comic cover http://t.co/t575f7BY
@ZacharyWhitten I like MLP! I collected them as a kid, and I enjoy the new cartoon. One of the few childhood things not ruined in reboot.
@greywulf It's a gift. They even made little fan skits and even decent little cartoons about him and his new assistant.
@Eaches Brilliant. Those are the first Valentine's cards that have not induced nausea.

Steve Bruce does not know where reports linking him to Southampton earlier in the summer came from and has reiterated that he is happy at Hull City.
Following Mauricio Pochettino's departure from St Mary's to take charge at Tottenham Hotspur, there was briefly speculation that Bruce was on a shortlist to replace him.
Hull denied the rumours and Ronald Koeman was quickly appointed by Saints, while Bruce was left bewildered by the whole saga.
He maintains that he is committed to Hull and has paid tribute to the cub's owners for putting their faith in him and backing him in the transfer market.
Speaking about the Southampton story, Bruce told the Hull Daily Mail: \"I don't know where that came from.
\"I haven't got an agent but all agents seem to claim to represent me. That means a lot of rubbish comes out.
\"There was never any intention for me to move on. I've said it from day one that I'm perfectly happy here.
\"I'm one of the fortunate ones. The people who employ me let me manage and that is vitally important for me.\"
Bruce, who now operates on a one-year rolling contract with Hull, added: \"I've said it several times how grateful I am to the owners here.
\"They trust me to do my job and that's not something you can take for granted in football.
\"They've given me nothing but support during my time here and backed me financially whenever I've asked. This summer has been no different. I've asked for players and they've delivered.\"

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Great Bay Community College hosts Distinguished Leaders Award event
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Great Bay Community College honored four individuals on Oct. 3 with the first ever Distinguished Leader Award.
■ Craig Brady, wounded in Afghanistan, is currently enrolled at Great Bay Community College preparing to transfer on to the University of New Hampshire where he will study for a career in therapeutic recreation. During his two years at the Walter Reed Medical Center, Craig joined the USA Warriors Sled Hockey Program. He continues to play hockey with the Northeast Passage at UNH. Chairman of the Community College System of New Hampshire, Paul Holloway addressed the audience of more than 200 proving a profile of the students who attend and graduate from New Hampshire's community colleges. "The Community College System of NH is 95 percent populated by New Hampshire residents. Our students are from all walks of life — career changers, veterans, those with advanced degrees that come to us for the training to get jobs." Citing the Community Colleges as a one of the "best investments the state can make", he continued, "We have a very high employment rate of graduates but the best part is, our graduates stay in New Hampshire. They become citizens and future leaders."
Current student Natalie Landry and GBCC alumni Laurie Murray then shared their experience at Great Bay. Murray a former nursing student is currently pursuing her MSN in Nursing at Chamberlain College and is employed in the Intensive Care Unit at Exeter Hospital.
At the close of the evening, Erik Dodier of PixelMEDIA talked about his passion for supporting organizations such as Great Bay. |

Arizona St. Sun Devils (24-9)
@Syracuse Orange (26-9)
Sunday, March 22
American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL
Attendance: None
Arizona St.
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Eric Devendorf scored 21 points and Andy Rautins added 17, as Syracuse advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament with a 78-67 victory over Arizona State at American Airlines Arena.
Rick Jackson chipped in 13 points and Jonny Flynn contributed 11 points with seven assists for the Orange (28-9), who are seeded third in the South Region and will play Oklahoma in the regional semifinals on Friday in Memphis. The second-seeded Sooners advanced Saturday with a victory over Michigan.
Syracuse was just 2-of-16 from three-point range in its 59-44 win against Stephen F. Austin in the first round on Friday, but Devendorf hit a pair from beyond the arc in the first five minutes on Sunday and quelled an Arizona State rally with consecutive treys late in the second half.
"The other day they had such a big lead I guess they figured they didn't need to make any," Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said about his team's lack of three-point shooting in the opener. "But I knew they would make shots today if they got them."
Rihards Kuksiks helped keep Arizona State in the game with six three-pointers on the way to 20 points. Ty Abbott also finished with 20 points and six threes for the Sun Devils (25-10), who haven't reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament since 1995.
James Harden, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, was just 2-of-10 from the field for Arizona State and scored only 10 points on the heels of a nine-point effort on Friday in the first round against Temple. He missed his first six shots on Sunday and didn't score from the field until a dunk with 9 1/2 minutes to play.
"I should have been aggressive in the first half as I was in the second half," said Harden. "But I was trying to be more aggressive, create more open shots in the middle of the zone."
The Sun Devils also got limited production from Jeff Pendergraph, who fouled out with 10:19 remaining. He was their leading scorer with 22 points against Temple, but on Sunday managed just nine in 24 minutes.
Arizona State trailed by as many as 15 in the second half, but Abbott hit a pair of three-pointers to fuel a 15-4 run. The second of those pulled the Sun Devils within 61-57 with 6 1/2 minutes remaining.
Rautins answered with a three-pointer for the Orange and, after two ASU free throws, Devendorf drained two from beyond the arc to give Syracuse a 70-59 edge with just over four minutes to play.
"They knocked down big shots, that was difference," Boeheim stated about his two sharpshooters.
The Sun Devils got only as close as nine from there, as Syracuse defended the three-point line and made its free throws down the stretch.
Arinze Onuaku gave the Orange five players in double figures with 12 points. Rautins, who did not score in Friday's game, was 3-of-7 from long range to help Syracuse's 9-of-20 three-point performance. The Orange connected on 55.3 percent from the field overall also finished an impressive 17-of-21 from the free throw line.
"Eric and I, we didn't shoot the ball well last game," said Rautins. "We came out and were stroking it well today. That's what good shooters do, they bounce back and they stay confident."
Arizona State, meanwhile, was just 14-of-22 from the stripe and hit 13-of-35 from beyond the arc.
"They did a great job of covering a lot of ground," said ASU's Derek Glasser about the Syracuse zone. "It doesn't seem like they're there, and then all of a sudden they've got two guys there. They do a phenomenal job of guarding the paint and covering a lot of ground."
Syracuse broke open a close game early with a 15-5 run. Devendorf ignited the burst with a three-pointer for a 14-10 edge and Rautins canned a pair from outside the arc to cap the surge, giving the Orange a 26-15 lead with 6:42 remaining in the half.
The Sun Devils closed the gap to 32-24 a couple of minutes later before Syracuse scored seven in a row to extend to a 15-point cushion with 2:43 to play before the break. Arizona State, however, ended the half with an 8-2 run -- six coming on a pair of three-pointers by Kuksiks -- to trail 41-32.
Kuksiks made 5-of-9 from beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes and led the Sun Devils with 15 points. Devendorf scored 11 for the Orange.
Two free throws from Harden to start the second half pulled Arizona State within seven, but a three by Flynn a few moments later had the Orange back up by 12 and two free throws by the Big East Tournament MVP with just over 14 minutes to play gave Syracuse a 55-41 advantage. A Rautins jumper soon after gave the Orange 57-42 lead.

Sweet Revenge ''Pure'' Buttercream
This recipe for delicious buttercream is courtesy of Marlo Scott of Sweet Revenge and should be paired with Sweet Revenge's "Pure" Cupcakes.
- Yield: Makes enough for 24 cupcakes
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, January Winter 2009
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 10 cups (from about two and a half 1-pound boxes) confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons Mexican vanilla
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and shortening. Add sugar, and beat to combine. Add milk and vanilla, and beat until well combined.

Crisper 21 Jun, 2012
I typically use the Wilton crusting buttercream recipe for everything because it's easy. The Pure frosting blows that one away! It was extraordinarily sweet so next time I might only do 2 lbs instead of 2.5 lbs and see if it still crusts, but my younger sister loved it the way it was (she has a sweet tooth and I do not). This was very decedent, creamy, and smooth. Paired great with the Pure cupcake! I had to make it with soy milk instead of cows milk because that's all I had in the fridge.
GaelleCyr 16 Dec, 2011
Didn't like it, the cake is Not the same texture than the one at sweet revenge not to mention that the icing was way to sweet with way to much butter... My first Martha Stewart recipe flop.
veggymama 22 Feb, 2009
I just made this for my kids to test as their new birthday cake icing ( they don't like whipped or 7 minute frosting). It turned out perfect, and very similar to many grocery store birthday cake icings. We put it on the coconut cupcakes from this site and the combination was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly as written.
kenkolarik 18 Feb, 2009
reduced the sugar in the frosting by exactly 1/2 and this frosting is now nearly perfect. In combination with the cake, this is my favorite cupcake. unbelievably delicious. unmatched presentation.
kenkolarik 25 Jan, 2009
Sweet Revenge ''Pure'' Buttercream frosting is extremely sweet. instant headache. not enjoyable. not recommended. Ken Kolarik, 25 January 2009.
vlschoe 24 Jan, 2009
As long as it is vegetable shortening; it is pure. The shortening is what allows the icing to remain so white.
jenlovessugar 22 Jan, 2009
I have admired these delicious looking cupcakes and live in too far to try one. I am very disappointed to see they use shortening in their icing. Yuck, thats not what I would call "pure".

Meijer, Inc. (/ˈmaɪ.ər/) is a regional American hypermarket chain with its corporate headquarters in Walker, Michigan, in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area; the facility has a Grand Rapids, Michigan address.[3][4] Founded in 1934 as a supermarket chain, Meijer is credited with pioneering the modern supercenter concept in 1962. About half of the company's 200 stores are located in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with additional locations in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Meijer has no affiliation with Fred Meyers. Meijer will sell some Fred Meyers brand food items. The chain was ranked No. 23 on Forbes' 2011 list of "America's Largest Private Companies"[5] and 19 in Fortune's 2008 "The 35 largest U.S. private companies".[6] Supermarket News ranked Meijer No. 12 in the 2007 "Top 75 North American Food Retailers" based on 2006 fiscal year estimated sales of $13.2 billion.[7] Based on 2013 revenue, Meijer is the 27th-largest retailer in the United States.[8]
Meijer was founded as Meijer's in Greenville, Michigan by Hendrik Meijer, a Dutch immigrant. Meijer was a local barber who entered the grocery business during the Great Depression. His first employees included his 14-year-old son, Frederik Meijer, who later became chairman of the company. The current co-chairmen, brothers Hank and Doug Meijer, are Hendrik's grandsons. After studying trends in the grocery industry, Meijer was among the first stores to offer self-service shopping and shopping carts. He also offered staple items, such as vinegar, at bargain prices.[9]
The Greenville store went successfully, and additional Meijer groceries were opened in Ionia and Cedar Springs. By the 1960s, the company had over two dozen stores located throughout West Michigan.
In 1949, the first two Meijer stores opened in Grand Rapids, MI. "In a contest, a customer suggests the name "Thrifty" for Meijer's little Dutch boy, who becomes the corporate symbol for the next 30 years."
In 1962, the modern format of Meijer was started, with a store at the corner of 28th Street and Kalamazoo Avenue in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At a size of 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2),[10] it combined grocery shopping and department store shopping in a single large store. The store was built with six-inch (152-mm) thick floors, so should the concept fail, the nongrocery half could be converted into an indoor car dealership. New stores were built in the same manner until the mid-1970s, when an architect mentioned the extra cost to management.[9] The second two opened in Norton Shores and Holland, Michigan later that year, followed by two in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the summer or fall of 1963.[11]
The Thrifty Acres stores, now under the leadership of Fred Meijer, became a success and were renamed Meijer in 1986. Meijer's stand-alone grocery operations continued until the early 1990s, as the larger stores became dominant. In 1985, Forbes magazine reported Wal-Mart at the time had failed in what were then known as hypermarkets because Sam Walton and company did not understand the grocery business.
Walton launched the first Hypermart USA store in 1987, opening only four stores, the last in 1990. An article in Forbes Magazine said Meijer understood the importance of the food business, and it was not something just tacked onto a discount store. The quality of the produce is very important; poor-quality produce sold by Wal-Mart was the main reason for their lack of success. By contrast, surveys said then and now that Meijer ranks high on produce quality.[12]
With the increasing dominance of Wal-Mart throughout the country during the 1990s and up to the present, Meijer is facing the effects of an intensely competitive retail industry. In late 2003, the company laid off 350 people from the corporate offices, distribution centers and field offices; a few months later, in January 2004, Meijer laid off 1,896 employees and managerial staff,[13] leading to speculation that the company was losing profitability and market share. A marketing professor, Dr. Ben Rudolph of Grand Valley State University near Meijer's corporate headquarters, lambasted this move, saying they "apparently blinked" and that Meijer's "decision was driven by panic".[14] Continuing cutbacks in 2006, the company outsourced 81 information technology positions to India.[15]
In 2003, the company announced that all new Meijer stores would feature an entirely new format and company image, complete with a new logo intended to make the Meijer stores seem "friendly" and inviting. The midwestern company hired New York City's Rockwell Group to redesign the existing stores and establish a design for new stores. The "new theatrics" for the then-71-year-old company originally started as a "new product introduction program" until David Rockwell talked Hank and Fred Meijer into further changes. Rockwell told the Meijers the new introduction program would "work only if it was part of a new overall creative foundation based on a fresher, younger approach, encompassing architecture, interior design, and graphic design".[16] Despite recent cutbacks, Meijer has been embarking on a new expansion plan that will increase its number of stores in Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. In April 2003, Meijer selected DeVito/Verdi, an award winning advertising agency in New York, to handle its $25-million account.[17]
In early 2007, the first LEED-certified Meijer store opened in Allen Park, Michigan. In July 2007, Meijer announced to the Michigan press it would be "restructuring" its Team Leader management positions in all 181 stores, stating layoffs would be "minimal" and necessary "to handle more sophisticated products such as flat-screen TVs and high-priced wines". Their spokesperson also said the changes were "not about a labor reduction", but fitting people into the right roles. No corporate staff or hourly workers were directly affected.[18] In August 2007, the store announced they were cutting about 500 managers (12% of existing management staff). The 500 were given severance packages, while other managers were transferred to other stores or "reassigned to different positions". A Meijer spokesperson stated the cuts were made as Meijer "tries to compete with the world's largest corporation, Wal-Mart".[19][20]
On November 25, 2011 Frederik Meijer died at 91 years of age. In 2013, Meijer opened its 200th supercenter in Swartz Creek, Michigan.
Meijer stores are classified as supercenters or hypermarkets (a superstore that combines groceries and department store goods in the same store). Many stores also feature a Meijer-branded gas station and convenience store in front. Several Meijer locations feature alternative fuels, such as E85, biodiesel, and compressed natural gas.
Most Meijer stores are open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year, closing only at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and reopening at 6 a.m. on December 26. In 2013, Meijer ranked No. 19 in Forbes list of top 20 Private Companies.
In September 2012, Meijer was ranked No. 88 in a list of the 100 fastest-growing retail chains by the National Retail Foundation's STORES magazine.
In addition to the original Meijer supermarkets and hypermarkets, Meijer opened several concept stores in the 1970s and 1980s. The first were specialty clothing store chains called Copper Rivet, Sagebrush and Tansy. Each store focused on a different form of brand-name clothing: Copper Rivet sold Levi's jeans, Sagebrush sold casual wear, and Tansy sold women's clothing. All three chains usually operated in front of existing Meijer stores, or in nearby shopping centers. These clothing chains were dissolved in the 1980s as brand-name clothing became more readily available at competing retailers. Sagebrush, which at its peak comprised 71 stores,[21] was sold off in 1988, while Copper Rivet and Tansy stores were closed as their leases expired.[22]
In 1980, Meijer began a discount pharmacy chain called Spaar (from the Dutch word for "save"), which opened four stores in 1980 in former Meijer supermarket locations. The Spaar stores were sold to Pontiac, Michigan-based Perry Drug Stores by the mid-1980s.[22]
One year after launching the Spaar brand, Meijer began opening Meijer Square stores, which were traditional discount department stores lacking a full grocery section. This concept also brought Meijer to Ohio for the first time, where several Twin Fair, Inc. stores were converted to the Meijer Square concept.[22] The Ohio locations were largely sold to Zayre and Hills, but some Meijer Square stores in Michigan remained open into the 1990s. Meijer returned to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1996, after both Hills and Ames had closed all of their Ohio stores.[23]
Meijer opened its first warehouse club store, SourceClub, in 1992. The concept proved unsuccessful in competition against Sam's Club and Costco, and all seven SourceClub stores were closed in 1994. The location in Fraser, Michigan was converted to a regular Meijer store, while the rest were shuttered or sold off.[22] The last remaining former SourceClub store that never reopened since it's closure, located in Taylor, Michigan, was eventually demolished for a housing subdivision.
Upon its expansion into Chicago, the chain announced a new concept called Meijer Marketplace, comprising smaller stores that focus more on grocery items and pharmacy.[24]
Meijer has also turned several stores into flagship status stores where grocery selection is larger and also used to test new food products.
Meijer opened its first store within the city of Detroit on July 25, 2013, and is constructing a second location within the city and will open its first locations in Wisconsin by 2015. To help promote itself in Wisconsin, Meijer placed an advertisement along the outfield wall of Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, in 2014 in anticipation of the company's expansion into Wisconsin[25] and purchased a distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin from Supervalu in 2012. In addition, Meijer will also expand into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with a store in Sault Ste. Marie[26] and will soon expand into the Cleveland-Akron, Ohio market with a potential store in Stow, Ohio.[27] Meijer is considering opening a store on US-41 in Marquette, Michigan.
The Meijer Community Rewards program allows customers who make purchases with cash, debit card or a Meijer Credit Card to designate groups such as schools, religious organizations or other nonprofits to receive a portion of the total price paid as a charitable donation.
Participants who sign up can choose up to three nonprofit organizations participating in the program to receive the donations from their shopping trips. When a Meijer Rewards card is scanned at checkout or if a participating Meijer Credit Card is used to pay for the purchase, 0.5% of the transaction for cash or debit or 1% if paid with a Meijer Credit Card is donated to the designated organizations.
As a philanthropist, Fred Meijer's most significant contribution has been the land and sculpture collection for the 132-acre (53 ha) Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Meijer donated land for a Grand Valley State University (GVSU) campus in Holland, Michigan about 30 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids.[28]
In the mid-1980s, Meijer donated an undisclosed amount of money to GVSU towards the construction of new studios for the GVSU PBS station, WGVU, which continues to broadcast from the Meijer Public Broadcast Center.
A section of the Berlin Wall stands in the Meijer Lobby of the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, donated by Frederik Meijer on its 10th anniversary and dedicated by President Ford on September 6, 1991.[29][30]
In July and August 2004, Fred Meijer personally offered a donation of $25 million and property which included a former golf course near Grand Rapids' East Beltline to fund a relocation and expansion of the historic John Ball Zoo.[31] However, voters voted against the proposal and Meijer retracted the offer.
The Meijer Foundation donated $1 million to Michigan's White Pine Trail State Park for improvements. The donation carried a stipulation that the state must name the trail the "Fred Meijer White Pine Trail". The state parks department eventually accepted the donation, but the decision created a controversy over naming rights for private donations to public parks.[32]
Grand Rapids' downtown Civic Theatre, now renamed the Meijer Majestic Theatre, had a $10-million renovation, thanks in large part to donations by Fred Meijer, as well as Grand Action, a Grand Rapids-based community improvement organization. The name Meijer Majestic Theatre reflects both the original name of the 103-year-old theatre and Fred Meijer's philanthropy.
In 2006, Meijer donated money to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to create the paid position called the Frederik Meijer Chair of Dutch Language and Culture. The previous chair was unpaid. It is currently held by Dr. Henk Aay, and its purpose is to promote interest in the Netherlands and Michigan's Dutch cultural heritage.[33]
Meijer has been involved in sponsorship in the IndyCar Series for several years. They were associate sponsor on the #26 Andretti-Green Racing entry driven by Marco Andretti and also the #12 Team Penske entry driven by Will Power. They have a presence in NASCAR, as well, sponsoring the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway.
In 2014, Meijer was the first retailer to accept both Apple Pay and CurrentC for purchases in its stores and gas stations despite possible penalties from Merchant Customer Exchange for accepting Apple Pay.[34][35]
Meijer stores are typically designed with the supermarket section to one side and the general merchandise section to the other side. The chain's stores are almost always constructed from the ground up, with very few Meijer stores having been converted from other retailers. Exceptions include the Lincoln Park, Michigan and Portage, Indiana stores, both of which were former Super Kmart stores, the Traverse City, Michigan store, a former Grant City stores, the former location on Metropolitan Parkway in Sterling Heights, Michigan (which relocated to Madison Heights, Michigan in 2002 and has been demolished for a shopping center), which was also a former Grant City, the Fraser, Michigan location, which Meijer converted from its failed SourceClub concept store, and the former Newark, Ohio location (which was shuttered in 2013), which was one of the stores Meijer purchased from Twin Fair.[22]
Some stores built in the 1970s and 1980s included a balcony, containing service tenants such as a barber shop and nail salon. During the late 1990s, McDonald's restaurants also operated inside Meijer stores, primarily in those with balconies; in addition, the first stores in the Detroit area featured a short-lived fast food concept called Thrifty's Kitchen, which also operated a standalone location in front of the Meijer on Alpine Avenue in Walker.[36] Most stores feature a sit-down café, while some also feature a Starbucks coffee shop or a Subway restaurant. Stores built later in the 1980s and in the early 1990s featured a curved wall of windows that ran along the area between the entrances, examples include many early locations in Ohio and the Midland, Michigan store seen above towards the top of this article.
Early in the 1990s, Meijer developed new integrated prototypes for their rollouts. One example was the "whimsical" design prototype introduced with the 1994 expansion into Indiana. Different shapes and roofing designs created the facade of the building. Most notable was the yellow pineapple constructed from yellow ceramic brick and glass blocks. The different shapes on the facade were to introduce Meijer to Indiana as a "store of discovery".
Also notable was the use of a large translucent wall above the grand concourse facing the registers. This allowed natural light to filter into the area above the registers without actual windows. Another feature of these stores was the introduction of grey concrete panels and silver framing on windows and doors. Slight variations of this prototype were also introduced with the 1995 expansion into Illinois and the 1996 expansion into Kentucky.
The Presidential prototype evolved out of the mid-1990s prototype, in which the logo was moved to the center of the building. Later Meijer stores of this design introduced the Meijer Fresh logo with the then-current Meijer logo and a large cursive "Fresh" on the right of the Meijer name. Most of these signs have since been phased out in favor of the current logo, with the lower case "meijer" (in red) with blue dots over the 'i' and 'j'. In the year 2000, the Presidential prototype was replaced with the Village Square prototype, which featured fake storefronts running across the front of the building and a barn-like section on which the Meijer logo was situated. That prototype, however, was soon replaced by the Signature Series prototype, which removed the fake storefronts, which itself was replaced in the mid-2000s with the current prototype, which features emphasis on the entrances, which feature towering glass walls with a tilted roof, resulting in an "eyebrow" appearance.
Meijer is credited with being the first hypermarket store in the US, combining a multitude of merchandise under one roof, though rarely acknowledged as such.[37] The concept of a hypermarket has been credited to stores in Europe, most often Carrefour.[37] This may be attributed to Meijer's being a regional chain, rather than expanding internationally, and using the term "supercenter" rather than "hypermarket" when they opened the first Thrifty Acres in 1962.[38] Most US hypermarkets were started at later dates.[37] Meijer describes itself as a grocery chain that added general merchandise to their grocery stores in 1962. The Meijers are very private people and would not talk to Forbes for a 1995 comparison to Hypermart USA and Kmart's American Fare failed hypermarket concepts.[12]
In February 2007, Meijer was involved in an effort to recall the elected officials of Acme Township in Grand Traverse County, because of the officials' reluctance to allow a new store along M-72 within the rural township. Meijer retained Seyferth, Spaulding and Tennyson, a Grand Rapids public relations firm, to help orchestrate the recall effort. As of January 2008, a criminal investigation was underway by the Michigan State Police[39] into the legality of the scheme.
Records indicate the PR firm retained by Meijer had arranged a meeting with a small nonprofit organization which favored the Meijer store, but had not yet formally taken a position on the recall. With the persuasion of the PR firm, the organization, known as the "Acme Taxpayers for Responsible Government", formed a recall committee and began to promote the recall election. Seyferth researched the plausibility of a recall, wrote justification for the recall and oversaw the agenda for the meeting with Acme Taxpayers.[40] The PR firm revised the organization's website and logo, devised talking points and campaign literature, and wrote ghost letters to Traverse City newspapers. The recall committee did not disclose any of the PR firm's assistance, or its affiliation with Meijer. As of January 2010[update], the case is still ongoing.[41]
In 2006, 2007, and again in 2008 Meijer scored an 8% on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, which the HRC calls "a measure of how U.S. companies and businesses are treating gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors." Specifically, the HRC claims Meijer does not offer "even minimal benefits or workplace protection for gay employees" and lists it as a consistently gay-unfriendly company. Meijer was one of only three companies out of over 500 graded to receive this extremely low score.[42] Meijer's score did improve on the 2009 index, after the company amended its nondiscrimination policy to include sexual orientation, but its 15% score still stands in contrast to the much higher 2009 ratings of its other retail and grocery rivals, such as Macy's Inc. (100%), Sears Holdings Corporation (100%), Target Corporation (100%), Whole Foods Market (90%), Kroger (75%) and Walmart (40%). Meijer did see its score rise once again, to 20%, in 2010. Meijer raised their score to 25% in 2013.[43] In 2014, Meijer scored a 70%, a significant increase of 45% in one year.[44]
The federal government sued Meijer on behalf of a former employee for violating her civil rights by firing her because she would not work on Sundays.[45] Debra Kerkstra was fired in 2001 for refusing to work on Sunday because of religious convictions. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accused Meijer of religious discrimination, and Meijer settled the case after paying $22,000 to Kerkstra[46] and agreeing to implement procedures to prevent repeat occurrences.

An Alternate Internet and The New Peer-to-Peer Currency. In response to the speed and efficiency with which the WikiLeaks site and its funding were taken offline, and the failure of the anonymous hacker movement to do any significant damage to Wikileaks' corporate foes, media commentator Douglas Rushkoff notes how the situation illustrates how centrally-controlled the internet really is.
Rushkoff sees the Wikileaks debacle becoming a rallying point towards developing an new, alternate internet: The internet's failings as a truly decentralized network, however, merely point the way toward what a decentralized network might actually look like. Instead of being administrated by central servers, it would operate through computers that pinged one another, instead of corporate-owned server farms, and deliver web pages from anywhere, even our own computers.

"Social currency" means different things depending on whether we are talking about it as a "means of exchange" (jokes, information, rumours) or as "unit of account" (reputation points, badges, diplomas.) While this analogy is useful, it isn't perfect. In a number of important ways, social currency does not function like money. In this post, I will focus in on the "means of exchange" view of social currency. Exploring how social currency behaves differently to money can help shed light on what it is, and isn't.

Jeremain Lens admits he is looking to leave Dynamo Kiev, but he will stay and play for them if he does not secure a move.
The Dutch forward has been linked with a number of clubs, including the likes of Tottenham, Everton, Southampton and Newcastle in recent months.
The ongoing political situation in Ukraine has led to Lens thinking about his future and he admits he was nervous about flying back to the country this week.
Lens told Helden Online: "Of course I have been following the news about the situation in Ukraine closely, I read everything from Dutch media and also watch a lot from Ukrainian TV.
"For the first time I had something to fear about flying."
On his future he added: "I have already stated several times I am interested in a new challenge at a good club.
"But it's unfair to Dynamo Kiev to repeat that all the time. I am here now and signed here at Kiev with full understanding. If I stay here, than I will do my job and give everything I have."
He says he believes clubs are looking at him.
"I have understand from my agent that a couple of clubs contacted Kiev about my availability. Apparently it is not that easy to work out a deal.
"I have told my agent I only want to hear something when there is a serious proposal."
