John Braddell, of Lakeside Sod, has requested letters of support from the Town Board and the Clarence Industrial Development Agency. The Town Board authorized such a letter last week; the Clarence IDA meets later this month.
In 2006, the Town Board granted development plan approval for Lakeside Industrial Business Park – south of County and west of Goodrich – but Braddell did not develop it then. Hartzell said Braddell recently told him the project was "back on the front burner" and asked for the letters of support, to help him obtain financing for it.
Hartzell said he welcomes a business park to help attract companies to the town that might otherwise locate elsewhere. The Lakeside site has an industrial zoning classification. While the property is not sewered, Hartzell said "it will be sewered in the future. It's just a question of when, because there's a trunk line that runs by there which he can tap into."
Also this week:
• The Clarence Lions Club's pancake breakfast fund-raiser is 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today at the High School cafeteria, 9625 Main St.
• A Clarence Chamber of Commerce Business Roundtable will be 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Clarence Public Library. Jan Owczarczak and Liz Warren of Employer Services Corp. will present, "Creating a Culture of High Performances and HR Best Practices: What Every Employer Needs to Know." The meeting is open to the public. RSVP to the Chamber at 631-3888.
• The School Board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the Middle School, 10150 Greiner Road.
• The Zoning Board of Appeals will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Town Hall.
• The Town Board will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Town Hall, following a 6:30 p.m. work session.
• Three young pianists, including 13-year-old Jarod Yap of Clarence, were scheduled to play at Carneige Hall on Feb. 9. All three are students of Mary Handley and received the highest marks in their Royal Conservatory of Music examinations. The other two students are Suzie Lee and Leela Fernando, both of Amherst.
• Prospective School Board candidates can pick up a packet at the district office, adjacent to the High School. Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and a district resident for at least one year prior to the May 21 vote. Nominating petitions must be filed no later than 5 p.m. on April 22, and contain signatures and addresses of at least 41 qualified voters. Two seats are up for election. Call 407-9013 for details.

If the budding chemistry between EJ Manuel and Robert Woods blossoms into something beautiful for the Buffalo Bills, they can give part of the thanks to ... the New York Jets.
It was on a pre-draft visit to the Bills' AFC East rivals that Manuel and Woods initially bonded.
"We were able to hang out pretty much the whole day or two days," Manuel said. "It's just crazy that we ended up on the same team, so instantly we texted each other and we were happy about it."
Woods said he and Manuel spent plenty of time on that New York visit comparing their two collegiate programs, USC and Florida State. They're in the same playbook now, and wasted very little time showing it.
Woods was a favorite target of Manuel during the team's recent rookie minicamp.
"He always seemed to be open and ran great routes," Manuel said of Woods after one of the practices. "You want to get the playmakers the ball."
There weren't many receivers in the draft with as much playmaking ability as Woods. His 32 career receiving touchdowns were the most of any wideout drafted in the first two rounds last month – and Woods left school a year early.
"I definitely weighed my options and figured this was the best decision for me," he said of leaving school early, adding his decision was not influenced by the fact quarterback Matt Barkley graduated. "I'm pretty confident with our quarterbacks we have there, Max Wittek and Cody Kessler. It had nothing to do with the quarterback. I felt confident in both. It was the best decision for me and my family. They always say this doesn't last forever, so I might as well get it while I can. I can still do school at the same time."
Woods, who became the seventh of the Bills' eight draft picks to sign his rookie contract Monday, has two semesters left in his pursuit of a degree in policies, planning and development. His four-year contract is expected to be worth about $4.8 million.
He missed last week's organized team activities as USC's class did not graduate until Friday, but was back Monday for his first workout with the full team.
"It felt good to be back on the field, but it was a lot more fast-paced on the field with the vets than it was at rookie camp," Woods told the team's official website, buffalobills.com, after the practice. "No huddle, a lot of fast-paced offense, conditioning and everything. ... It's fun to be with the guys again."
Woods is penciled in as the team's No. 2 receiver behind established veteran Stevie Johnson.
"I do have a great opportunity, but I know these guys who have been here are not going to let it come easy," Woods said. "There's three to four receiver positions, one is pretty much locked up. Right now it's just competing. We're all competing for that same two or three spots."
Woods bring a polished reputation into the NFL.
He started each of his 38 games for the Trojans and set a program record with 252 catches for 2,930 yards – sixth most in school history – and eclipsed 100 receiving yards in 10 games.
He's quick to point out, however, that all that production doesn't amount to anything now that he's collecting a paycheck for playing.
"That's at the college level. This is a new start, new beginning, but I'm trying to bring that with me, translate it to this level and compete against the top guys here," he said.
Rookie receivers traditionally have a difficult time adjusting to the NFL level compared to other rookies, but Woods is hoping to buck that trend.
"It's all up to the receiver, I would say. I'm fortunate to come from an offense where it's quite similar," he said. "I think that helps me play fast and adapt to the whole offense and really be more comfortable in this system."
Woods certainly sets the bar high when modeling his game after those who have come before him – naming Jerry Rice and Reggie Wayne as his role models.
"My past coaches were in Oakland and in contact with Jerry somehow so they all have a lot of his film, which is fortunate for me because I got to see how he works. So I try and put that in my game," he said.
Free agent running back Montell Owens visited practice Monday.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection as a special teams player with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Owens started four games last season in place of the injured Maurice Jones-Drew.
The eight-year veteran had 209 yards and a touchdown on 42 carries in 2012 after getting just 18 touches in his first six years.
Owens made the Pro Bowl in 2010 and 2011 and holds the Jags' record for special teams tackles (118).

We jumped a cliff long ago
January 8, 2013
Are you spending twice as much as you did 10 years ago? Probably not; you'd either feel as if you'd struck it rich or your creditors would be forming a posse to come after you if you wer....
Continuing large Federal deficits are a mortal threat to America's future. Investors must eventually realize America can never pay off the debts Washington DC has created, at which time the world will no longer accept American dollars. Americans will learn about hyperinflation, just as citizens of the Weimar Republic, Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe learned it before us: economic collapse, citizen's life savings become worthless, human beings cannot carry enough paper money to buy food, no matter how many 'zeroes' are printed on the paper.
Dependence on Federal Government has proven a disastrous alternative to reliance on Divine Providence. Huge Federal agencies with enormous payrolls create a tsunami of Federal regulations that make it difficult for businesses to survive, much less hire new workers. Laws that require retirement with 30 years left to live, and laws that give medical benefits to most of the population at far below cost, create enormous debts our nation can never repay.

Big government's gain is our society's pain. Trillions of dollars of new Federal deficit spending have only prolonged the worst recession since the Great Depression – except in the boomtown of Washington DC, where exotic Italian sports cars are now routinely purchased with cash.
$16.4 trillion dollars in current Federal debt means our Federal Government has permanently stunted America's growth. Every American child born today is born owing a $52,000 share of current public debt, which they will pay interest on the rest of their lives. Greeks owe far less.
Every time the debt ceiling is raised it condemns our children and their children to worse lives, because funds used to pay interest are forever unavailable for capital formation.
To 'keep the promises' of lawmakers who legislated benefits designed to drive votes, every American citizen now owes 100% of our gross income for ~6 ½ years. It is not possible.

Large Federal deficits mean higher future taxes, just as using a credit card means higher future credit card bills.
Informed citizens understand that large Federal budget deficits prevent jobs today and steal tomorrow's economic growth. Large Federal deficits mean entrepreneurs cannot predict a reward tomorrow for risking capital today. Large Federal deficits mean many projects that would otherwise go forward will never be approved, because they cannot be expected to earn a return sufficient to pay off under higher future taxes tomorrow.
Why tolerate large Federal budget deficits? Because the political class in Washington DC lives better than kings of old from siphoning off a portion of the trillions of dollars of Federal spending, including proceeds of the loans that become part of our Federal debt.

Truthseeker, I'm not a bit jealous, I have my own so I don't need to be. But I do understand that because I do I can well afford to pay my fair share of taxes also. My secretary and other employees should not have to pay more taxes than I do. If I pay more taxes, I still have enough money to live a comfortable life. I'd rather those in the middleclass be able to keep more of their money to be able to support their families. In the long run that would help us all because their would be less working poor to depend on the government, such as foodstamps and healthcare. As a smaller business person, I get no perks Exxon and other big corporation get. Not much support from government in any way. As far as lies and deceit go, the Republican party has proved especially during the last election that they are the masters of both....

Jealous and envious much playfare? bwahaha...only children resort to jealousies over what someone else has earned. Liberalism; feeling sorry for themselves because they can't have what someone else has. In reality all they have to do is work hard and get it themselves. Laziness breeds unsuccess.

It's always hilarious to hear liberals say Clinton era was doing fine fiscally when it wasn't Clinton that did it. See, Clinton had a Republican-controlled congress & was 'forced' to do things he did not want to do like cut spending. It is the congress who passes or not spending bills and such. But liberals have a problem that makes it impossible to 'comprehend' fact from fiction. Nice try playfare, but your name belies your words. You, just like the left, don't play 'fair' nor deal in reality. When oh when will you deceivers learn that we are too smart to fall for liberal lies and deceit? Obama, typical liberal fashion, is a common tax-and-spend liberal democrat with large doses of radical tendencies to undermine the citizens' rights and disobey our laws of the land. Payday is coming and job losses in congress next election. Goodbye crooked, deceitful taxing and spending liberals.

Republicans are against spending when it doesn't involve their special interest and their friends. Big business and big oil just couldn't survive without their tax breaks either. This tax hike for the rich is really not a hike. It is a reinstatement of the taxes they were paying before Ole George W Bush was in office. It didn't keep them from living their lavish lifestyles then and it won't now. As for them creating jobs with their extra money from tax breaks, thats just crap. They just hoard it by stashing it in offshore accts. We were doing just fine when Bill Clinton left office, put a Republican in office and all*****breaks loose....

Click the link for daily surf reports presented by Nichols Surf Shop, 411 Flagler Ave., New Smyrna Beach
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Due to the popularity of a park and ride shuttle offered a few months ago, the NSB Waterfront Loop once again will offer free rides to a popular Flagler Avenue event.
The shuttle will tote LOOP-goers Aug. 16 to the 5th annual Flagler Avenue Shrimp and Seafood Festival.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Just how many people were without power or for how long resulting from Saturday night's thunderstorm is anybody's guess because media inquiries went unanswered.
As Headline Surfer reported exclusively, lightning from a fast-moving thunderstorm rolling through the city, struck a substation transmission line and knocked out power for customers in parts of the city.
Please click attachment to read NSB police patrols report:
Ann Carter, age 94, of New Smyrna Beach, formally of Wareham, Massachusetts, died Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at Ocean View Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center, New Smyrna Beach. Burial will be at a later date in Wareham.

Who we do it for
You're in great company
We help some of the world's leading organisations on their way to digital excellence.
From research to bespoke consultancy
Econsultancy has such a range of services, from basic blog commentary using its journalistic teams, to events that aim to broaden the distribution of its content with far more expert insight and visiting speakers. Then it has the nice things, the more colourful things, like awards. And also, what I'm just working with at the moment, that one-to-one consultation with the experts in your business.
I don't see any other organisation providing that level of thought leadership.
Providing inspiration and insight for decisions
"All the content is intelligent, it makes sense. I know there are other competitors out there, but I trust Econsultancy – it's the one place I recommend everybody to go to if they want to get up to speed with digital or they want to do any training."
"For me, Econsultancy is an inspiration. It has definitely helped me throughout my career in making decisions."
"When you think of digital, it's Econsultancy, the others don't even cross my mind."
I probably couldn't do my job without Econsultancy.
Developing content strategy
"I like the consultants that Econsultancy has, the fact that they are not affiliated to any one group and they can pull in relevant people. I call them consultant ninjas – they seem to pull in the best within their field, which means you have access to a wide spectrum of people who are working directly for Econsultancy, but also outside as well. That has benefit as it offers a different perspective in terms of consultancy work."
When Econsultancy come in, it's always to achieve a business outcome. They have been successful in helping us evolve our content strategy which has a commercial benefit in terms of getting people to convert via content."
I call them consultant ninjas.
Developing digital capabilities and gaining board buy-in
Econsultancy could service us at all levels; in terms of training new starters, refreshers, and senior people who could go back to the boardroom to get buy-in for business cases to move the digital sphere on.

Before shutting down the engine at the end of a hard shift, the operator should let it idle for at least one minute to cool down. With the Engine Shut Down Timer option, the engine will run on idle automatically before shutting down. This means that the operator can leave the cab, lock the machine and finish work without having to wait.
Longer lifetime and less wear of engine
This option helps the operator follow the correct procedure for stopping the machine, and thus it gives the machine's turbocharger longer lifetime and prevents unnecessary wear of engine.
For more information about Engine Shut Down Timer, contact your local Volvo dealer.

By Philip Cmor
UNIVERSITY PARK - So much of Bill O'Brien's approach to offense is built about making split-second audibles.
Lucky for the Penn State football program, because, in light of the heavy NCAA sanctions, that probably will come in handy with recruiting this year.
The Nittany Lions were building a top-10 class when they were hit with a four-year bowl band and severe scholarship reductions. Over subsequent weeks, four players - including five-star offensive tackle Dorian Johnson and blue-chip cornerback Ross Douglas - backed off verbal commitments to Penn State.
Despite the fact that top prospects like Virginia quarterback Christian Hackenberg and Cedar Cliff tight end Adam Breneman reaffirmed their intentions to play for Penn State, its 2013 recruiting class has dropped to the middle of the pack among BCS programs in rankings by national recruiting sites.
"We have talked about it, and we've got a plan," Lion recruiting coordinator Charles London said on media day of how the staff will address the situation, "and we've already started executing that plan."
So far, that plan seems to have been somewhat effective. Nine recruits have stuck with the Lions, although Central Dauphin linebacker Zayd Issah is considered still to be on the fence, and Penn State got a verbal commitment from Jordan Smith, a Washington, D.C. player at a position crucial to this class, defensive back.
The Lions also used openings from unused 2012 scholarships to bring in Arizona's Brennan Franklin and Florida's Gary Wooten, both linebackers, to join the team this fall. Because Penn State didn't fill its full allotment of scholarships in February and is well beneath the 85-scholarship full-roster limit, Breneman and Florida defensive back Neiko Robinson, who have talked about enrolling in January, also could count against the 2012 limit, which would open more scholarships for 2013.
That's important, because the Lions will be limited to 15 scholarships instead of 25 per year for the next few years. London said it still wasn't clear whether that would go into effect in 2013 or 2014.
"There'll be some limitations there, and we're going to have to adjust our numbers some. We're still kind of assessing where those areas may be and kind of moving forward from there," London said.
The challenges will be plentiful. Along with the annual 15-scholarship limit, the 85-scholarship roster limit will be diminished to 65.
"Our walk-on program now is going to be vital," London said. "We've reached out to the high school coaches in the area, and we'll continue to reach out to them in hopes of helping the team."
The Lions have had great success with walk-ons over the years, but a team subsisting on walk-ons isn't likely to be viable to competing in the Big Ten.
"For Penn State to land some solid recruits coming up, they are going to have to find some guys who clearly want to be Penn Staters, especially in this situation,'' said BlueWhite Illustrated recruiting reporter Ryan Snyder. "Breneman's a guy who grew up a Penn State fan. He appreciates Penn State. Penn State needs to find those kinds of kids."
USC and Ohio State have managed to overcome NCAA penalties to continue to attract top recruits, but Snyder thinks their situations aren't really comparable to Penn State's. USC has been a glamor program for the last decade. Ohio State has a rabid in-state following and now enjoys the star quality of new head coach Urban Meyer on top of that.
In addition to losing some of its top recruits, several other key targets, like running backs David Williams and Derrick Green, have dropped the Lions on their list or dropped Penn State from consideration entirely. Penn State needs to keep recruits from giving up on it before the coaches even get a chance to tell them what the school and program have to offer.
"We just try to talk about the great things that there are here at Penn State. We try every single day to tell the truth and be ourselves, and I think people appreciate that. Recruiting is about relationships," O'Brien said during a conference call last week. "Obviously, official visits are important, no question about it. That's when you can show the recruit your hospitality and university and get the chance to experience a lot of different things. The official visits are really important."
A good showing by this fall's team might help in that regard, and O'Brien also will try to sell the idea that he can prepare prospects to play at the next level. Early playing time also should be available. Snyder, though, thinks there might be another factor at play that could loom as large as any of those.
"Breneman, Hackenberg, [New Jersey guard Brendan] Mahon and [New Jersey defensive end Garrett] Sickels are the core of this class. If the stick around, that will go a long way with some other guys,'' Snyder said.
Snyder thinks that all of the current commitments with the exception of Issah are fairly solid for Penn State as things stand now, but he also cautions that they'll have a lot to think about over the next few months and won't have a shortage of other options.
"February is a long ways off,'' Snyder said.
In the meantime, the coaches are continuing to try to fill openings. They've recently offered Lancaster Catholic running back Roman Clay and Georgia safety Kasey Gaines, according to reports, to try to address two of their biggest areas of need.
"We'll have to keep evaluating. With the reduction, we'll have to be that much more exact on what we're looking for," London said. "We have a talented staff. We have a lot of guys that have recruited for a long time who have a lot of contacts around the country. Maybe our recruiting base might expand. We'll come to some different solutions. With our staff, we'll be able to get it done."

by BETTY CROCKER June 24, 2006
The act of terminating a life before he or she has had a chance for natural survival. Also a symptom of a society that has failed women. The rate of abortions in the United States could be reduced with logical prevention measures such as single parent housing at universities, more sex education in schools, better state adoption laws and awareness, and better general social support for single parents.

The act of terminating the life of an offspring before it is developed enough to leave the womb. Wouldn't be such a big issue if the vast majority of people who undergo it didn't make the stupid decision of fucking without thinking ahead about the consequences, such as getting pregnant as a result.

The killing of a FETUS, not a "cluster of cells" not one cell, a FETUS, the doctor uses scalpels to scrape the fetus out and crushes the skull of the infant. Dead before born. Why isn't Masturbation considered Genocide? There is no conception, sperm cells die daily and are renewed. Women have a choice though? Actual percentage of U.S. abortions in "hard cases" are estimated as follows: in cases of rape or incest, 0.3%; in cases of risk to maternal health or life, 1%; and in cases of fetal abnormality, 0.5%. About 98% of abortions in the United States are elective, including socio-economic reasons or for birth control. This includes about 25% for primarily economic reasons. Meaning that Abortion is a way out for people not willing to live up to their mistakes, and would rather have cold metal pressed to the skulls of their child. Honestly i don't see why people support this, it IS murder, maybe the kid will be a killer maybe they will blow the world up, but remember you wouldn't even be reading this if you were aborted.
All of our sons and our daughters are dead and the birth that we stole, our abortion.

In this episode Nick and Nate are joined by Josh Twist – Senior Program Manager – who introduces Windows Azure Mobile Services. Josh demonstrates how easy it is to build Windows 8 apps with Mobile Services. Finally, Josh shows us his sample application DoTo that utilizes Mobile Services.
In the News:
Oops, something didn't work.
Its i-os not eyeos
No, it's iOS not i-os.
This is very exciting for people to get going quickly. Congratulations on putting this out!
Couple of questions:
1. The script that you write, does that get added to the service middle tier code or some sort of validation function in SQL Azure?
2. Why was the choice of giving script as JS only? Why not C#?
3. Where does the script execute, in-process to the service code? How does that get invoked?
4. Do each service run as a separate process (app pool)? If not, what's the isolation modal for services running inside the same process?
Thanks Randhir,
1. It runs in the 'middle-tier' which we call the mobile service, not SQL azure. You can find out more about how we built Mobile Services and it's architecture on the next Web Camps TV (http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Web+Camps+TV/)
2. JavaScript is an ideal choice for short, simple asynchronous scripts. It's also one of the most universal languages which is attractive as we broaden our platform support to include iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Of course, we haven't ruled out supporting C# on the server but right now most folk seem to enjoy the JS model.
3. The script executes in-process in the middle tier. It gets invoked, erm, directly! No inter-process-communication necessary to execute a script, only to get to the DB.
4. Yes, your Mobile Service runtime is isolated from other service runtimes. I'll talk more about this in the next edition of Web Camps TV too. To cut a long story short, we run on the same infrastructure offered by Azure Web Sites.
Hope that helps.
@Jason: he says tomato...
a very nice set of demos, I'm wondering can an mvc web application make use of mobile services in terms of receiving toast notifications? via web sockets or web client long polling.
Hi Grahame,
Windows Notification Services can only communicate with Windows 8 devices (via WinRT). Do you want to send a notification to the user of MVC web app (in his browser) or to your backend - i.e. the MVC application itself?
@test: it works
Well presented Josh. Are there any limits on calls per day/hour, considering we're talking about a HTTP Web API + key scenario which could be abused? Normally, public API owners have to worry about such things.
Also, are there Azure-side tempates or demos available? So, in VS we can unzip a demo and open the solution and get going, but in Azure, there's no such quick start - or is there?
Cheers, dude.

9 Types of Job that Will Destroy Your Soul
Any of you could wind up in one of these jobs, at any moment, without realizing it. The shitty jobs I'm about to describe aren't specific positions or industries -- they're situations. Some of you -- hell, maybe even most of you -- are already in one of them.
The thing is, when people try to think up the worst job possible, most of them go right to shit. As in, "It could be worse, you could be shoveling shit somewhere!" or "At least we're not working in a sewer! In shit!" But that type of job isn't as bad as you think -- you actually get used to the smell of poop, the same as you acclimate to a job where you work in brutal heat or bitter cold.
Via Fenrisjaw.blogspot.com
And of course the monsters.
But these jobs, on the list below? They're the ones you never get used to, where the longer you do it, the more it eats away at you. So let's take a moment to say a prayer for ...
#9. The Punching Bag
Also Known As:
The job where you have to face complaining customers, but you have no ability to fix their problem.
The hell of these jobs is that they're not advertised as "complaint department." If your job was to handle people's complaints and help them, that could be fairly satisfying. People might actually thank you now and then.
"Thank you so much -- sorry I called you a cocksucker."
No, I'm talking about jobs where you are between the public and whoever is fucking up constantly on the back end (and in some cases, the business itself is just shitty at what they do) but you have no power to do anything about it. All you can do is absorb their frustration and insults until they give up, because they finally ran out of ways to call you a worthless turd. Usually after threatening that they'll get you fired.
For Example ...
Think about the waiter or waitress at a restaurant where the quality of the food is terrible. When a customer complains, there is no correcting the order or sending it back to the kitchen -- the replacement will be just as bad, because the restaurant's owner is buying their meat from a Russian guy selling it out of the back of a van, and the cook is his 16-year-old nephew. But the customer will never get to curse out the owner, or the cook. So they'll just take it out on you instead.
All night long.
Or, remember when the American government hired more than half a million college kids and other people off the street to do the census last year? Those kids faced abuse from hundreds of paranoid nutjobs believing Glenn Beck's conspiracy theories about the census being used to send us all into concentration camps. What the hell do you even say to that? How do you reassure that person?
I could name examples all day, but to find the Punching Bags, you need to look no further than your last frustrating experience with customer service -- they'll be at the other end. Ever try to call UPS (or whatever courier you use) about a package that failed to arrive? You quickly find out that the person on the other end of the phone has no ability to contact the driver of the truck, and no knowledge of where your package is other than what you yourself could have found on their tracking website. So, presumably they spend their entire day as a sponge for complaints from angry customers (or, worse, crying customers talking about how the next dose of their kidney medicine is in that box).
"Kathy, do you still have that noose I loaned you?"
They're Punching Bags. Go easy on them.
#8. The Walking Dead
Also Known As:
The job that requires sleep deprivation. Long, irregular hours of tedium that your sleep patterns are physically incapable of adjusting to.
I'm not talking about jobs that won't let you take a nap after you were up all night with the baby or a Dr. Who marathon. That's every job. No, I'm talking about the jobs where torture-level sleep deprivation is a requirement (and it is literally a form of torture, used by everyone from the KGB to the CIA).
And Windows Updates.
I'm talking about real exhaustion here, the kind that makes you feel sick. Your brain is trying desperately to shut down. A thick sludge of sleepiness is clogging up your thought pipes. And you have to push through it, night after night. You can't get up and walk around, or get fresh air or entertain yourself. You just have to sit there, often in dead silence, and force yourself to stay awake for hours and hours and hours. It's hell. It is a fucking living hell.
For Example ...
Jobs like security guards who do night watch, sitting in a chair in a closed shopping mall and staring at non-moving images on security cameras for eight straight hours. No action, no book, no music, and if you get caught going to sleep, you're fired.
If one of those channels gets porn, it means you have to arrest someone.
Which is still a better outcome than long-haul truckers (who studies show get less than five hours sleep before driving for 10), since falling asleep at the wheel means somebody's probably gonna die. But at least they can turn on the radio.
And make no mistake -- your body never adjusts to an irregular sleep schedule (the recommended treatment for sleep problems caused by odd work hours is to get "a normal work and sleep schedule." Thanks for the advice, fucker!).
But the worst part is what sleep deprivation does to you even when you're not feeling sleepy. You can feel your IQ dropping. It's like Edward Norton at the beginning of Fight Club -- you walk around in a haze, you forget shit, you leave your keys in the lock. You start having conversations you don't remember. And when you're driving home, you are as dangerous as a drunk.
Via Katu.com
Fatigued driver accident (yes, they survived, somehow).
And good luck getting sympathy when you complain to a friend that your job is so boring, you can fall asleep while doing it. That just sounds like you're complaining about how easy your job is. At least, to anyone who's never had to actually do it.
#7. The Girl
Also Known As:
The lone representative of your gender in the workplace.
This could also be "The Guy." It works either way. I suspect it's harder being the lone girl in a shop full of dudes than being the lone guy in a female-dominated office, but mainly I say that because I want to see the Men's Rights dipshits show up in the comments section.
For Example ...
You'll find it in every auto body shop with a secretary -- one female working the desk and 10 greasy men working on engines (and don't accuse me of stereotyping -- 97 percent of secretaries are women, 99 percent of auto mechanics are men).
It's no fun. There is the obvious sexual harassment element of it, which I barely need to touch on since you've been on the Internet and have seen what happens when a girl shows up on a male-dominated forum ("TITS OR GTFO"). It's the same in real life, only it's not as overt. But it is far more awkward, as there is no escaping it unless she quits. So the tension is sustained for eight or nine hours a day, every day, for as many years as she works there. And it's a no-win; if The Girl reacts badly to a crude joke, she's a bitch. If she replies to innuendo with innuendo of her own, then it's, "Dude, I think she's into me!"
"I can name 200 pornos off the top of my head that start exactly like this."
Every. Day.
Not that it isn't awkward for, say, a male nurse who statistically will be the only penis owner in the vicinity. It creates a different though equally weird tension, because there are things women only say around other women (usually regarding what douchebags men can be). Also, there are plenty of members of both genders who regard any member of the other as the enemy. What I'm trying to say is that being a young dude in close quarters with a bitter, divorced mother of three is no fun.
#6. The Laughingstock
Also Known As:
The hard job that everyone laughs at you for having.
"So what do you do?"
"I'm a turkey masturbator."
You can laugh. I did. But working at the kind of job that not only makes people laugh at you, but makes them tell the exact same fucking joke every time you bring it up, is awful. You eventually start lying about what you do, as if it's illegal. Just to not hear that same goddamned joke again.
"I'm a turkey m- ... carver. I carve turkeys."
If you're scoffing and saying people should learn to have a sense of humor about themselves, I'm guessing you're not yet at that stage of life where you're judged according to your job. If you're 22 and you tell your peers, "I work at Chipotle, holding a sign while dressed as a burrito," they'll either laugh in sympathy, or say, "No shit, are they hiring? What are the hours like?"
But soon you'll move onto a period of your life where you are defined entirely by what you do. It's how the newspapers will refer to you if you ever make the headlines ("Pet Groomer Dies in Chimp Attack"), it'll be the first thing you're asked at parties, it'll be the first thing girls ask you when you start flirting. The polite attempt to hide their disappointment when they decide they're talking to a guy with a loser job is kind of crushing.
For Example ...
God help you if you worked at a fast food restaurant in your youth, but kept getting promoted until, at middle age, you wound up a store manager. It doesn't matter that you're working 60 hours a week and taking in bonus money for keeping the store profitable -- when you tell people you work at Kentucky Fried Chicken, you're a loser with a picture of Colonel Sanders on your hat. Work anywhere in the newspaper business along the distribution chain? It doesn't matter how high up the ladder you are, or if you needed a special license to drive the truck that ships the papers -- to everyone else you're a "paperboy."
I know a guy who waited three years on a waiting list to get a job as a mailman -- it's a tough job to get because it's a sweet government job with good benefits, and you have to pass all sorts of exams and background checks. But to this day, if he tells people what he does, they'll make a joke about "going postal." "Haha! You're not going to shoot us, are you! Do you want some of my lithium?" The same joke, over and over and over.
Via Treehugger.com
"You know, I wasn't going to -- but that sounds like a great idea."
Though that's not as bad as working at, say, a sperm bank. Or any job that involves sex in any capacity. It's fucking 2011, but if you are connected to the porn industry in any way (even on the billing or Web hosting side), you have to lie about your job as if you're a drug dealer. And it's a lie you have to tell constantly.
All because society has decided that certain jobs, regardless of skill level, pay or difficulty, are to be ridiculed.
In some areas, these guys make more than most of the people reading this article.
#5. The Cog
Also Known As:
Endless, mindless repetition that could just as easily be accomplished with a machine.
I'm not just talking about boring jobs here -- most jobs are boring. Starbucks is boring, but at least the drinks are different from customer to customer, and you can practice making designs in the foam. No, I'm talking about a task that takes five minutes to learn, must be repeated five thousand times a day and never changes. You stand in one spot, you perform the same task, over and over and over.
For Example ...
You've watched one of those "how stuff is made" type shows, where they visit a factory like this one where they make tasty brownies. And while the job of the "pour the brownie batter into the pan" lady looks boring ...
... there is still a fun and satisfying aspect to it. She probably has to worry about the consistency and temperature and amounts of the batter, and she gets to watch her empty pan turn into a bunch of delicious brownies, and she can pretend she's Willy Wonka.
But then at the very end of the assembly line are the poor bastards whose job it is to just stack the brownies into boxes:
Their faces say it all.
All day long. The same number of brownies in every box. An endless stream of boxes that never, ever stop. Even in an automated world, the workforce is absolutely full of these jobs -- it's still cheaper to make a low-paid human pack boxes than to buy an expensive machine. Here's another video, this from a Pringles factory. Check out the guy whose job it is to stand in front of the Pringles chute and straighten the rows of chips so they slip neatly into the tubes:
Now, some stressed out CPA with a hectic office is reading this and saying, "Shit, I'd love to be the guy who puts those little blue stickers on the bananas at the Chiquita factory. That'd be like a vacation to my ulcer-ridden ass."
Bullshit. It's like thinking being stranded on a desert island would be a nice break from the daily grind. It'd be peaceful for about an hour, and then you'd start to go insane. Your brain is a supercomputer containing an entire universe of wonders and creativity, and you're going to make it stare at a row of chips for eight or 12 or 16 hours at a stretch? Oh, and it's a failure-only job. If you do it perfectly, no one notices. But if you fuck up and the chip tube loader jams, you catch hell.
And when it comes time to ask for a promotion, or to look for a new job, what do you tell them you did? What skill did you learn? How did you better yourself? What job does this qualify you for? What interesting stories do you have to tell when you get together with friends? You'd start looking at that flow of chips and imagining the best years of your life flowing away, one Pringle-shaped moment at a time.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Some data has been received by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency regarding samples of residue taken after a July 13 accident at the Heritage-Thermal Service (HTS) hazardous waste incinerator, but what that data actually shows has not yet been determined.
Mike Settles, OEPA spokesman, said Friday the agency had just received information from HTS on samples its employees had gathered and said he believed some other data has been received.
"Now, what does it all mean?" he pondered, saying a meeting is planned next week with the company to go over the results, get some additional details and to see what steps HTS has taken to avoid future ash build ups and prevent such releases.
Although HTS issued a statement shortly after the incident saying it appeared that short-term exposure to the release of ash had caused no adverse health effects, Settles said the OEPA has not received the company's toxicology report, and a summary it posted on its website "doesn't say how they drew the conclusions they drew."
The company's summary, available in full at its website, did show some high levels of lead and arsenic on a vehicle parked closest to the fence at the facility, and Settles said, "We will ask about that," although he said the area is an industrial community and some of the elements found could have been there a long time.
The OEPA is also consulting with the Ohio Department of Health on the issue, sharing data to be looked at by ODOH toxicologists. An environmental specialist has also been hired by the company, and Settles said additional sampling was conducted by her on Monday.
"It could take as long as a month to get those results," he said.
No notices of violation have been issued against the company at this time, with Settles saying the matter still remains under investigation.
Meanwhile, in its online summary, HTS said it is conducting its own in-depth investigation and, once completed, corrective and preventive actions will be taken to minimize the possibility of a reoccurrence.
The company is considering adding new laboratory equipment for additional testing of materials, planning more frequent incinerator cleanings and outages to remove residue and installing additional ash removal equipment.
In addition, the company is considering more surveillance monitoring.
The complete summary can be found at www.heritage-wti.com.

^PCS might be thru the roof. I'm just not sure how the robotic arm movements during the beat box section (~1:50 mark) would score as a Choreographed Sequence. I'm all for it.
For either S/K or V/T, pairs short program: the Andre 3000 / Beyonce cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" from the soundtrack to 'The Great Gatsby'.
V/T are fans of Beyonce and Jay-Z, so it would make sense for them to skate to their music if they allow lyrics.
If not, it'll make a great show piece exhibition number for them.
The track runs 3:21 so it'll need to be shortened for competition.
Unless they mix it with another song and make it a FS.
I'd like to see something from the Hunger Games score, oddly enough. I feel like parts of it are great and dynamic. It would just take getting the right part.
In exhibition terms, I'd like someone to use some Sara Bareilles. I loved Kanako's King of Anything exhibition this season. I think Gonna Get Over You would be a good choice for a younger more lyrical skater like Polina. I also think Manhattan or The Light or Islands would be a good choice for an older skater.

I think it must have gone bad. It tasted mouldy. I ate half and threw away the rest.
Reviewer3185982发表于 Dec 02, 2011
I had high expectations for this bar, but I found it quite bland and almost moist. It wasn't crisp and fresh, and tasted more like cardboard than a good in-betweeen-meals bar.
Not that great
Reviewer1260176发表于 Feb 26, 2012
Good product and ingredients, just not that great taste wise.
Too hard
DawnMellowship发表于 May 16, 2012
This is very dry and hard. I found it hard to digest. Not great for me :(
Reviewer1584837发表于 Sep 08, 2011
It didn't taste great. I ordered because of the pumpkin seed value. The flax seeds were too strong for my system.
Very Best!!!!
Reviewer2052358发表于 Jul 25, 2012
I bought one at a local store and I'm so glad Iherb carries them and at a lower price than I've seen elsewhere also. These are so good and w/only 5 grams of sugar (agave nectar) which I'm greatly for since I have blood sugar problems. At 9 grms of protein, I can tell a difference when I eat one. They have a great nutty flavor w/just a slight bit of sweetness and the best I've found since so many other bars have more grams of sugar and usually less protein. Thank you Go Raw!!! I will be buying these on a regular basis.

The perfect snack--healthy & delicious!

I love these crunchy Go Raw organic sprouted seed bars. They're my mainstay for a quick, healthy and tasty mid-afternoon pickup at work. The raw sprouted seeds are bursting with flavor and nutrition, easy to digest, and sweetened with low-glycemic agave nectar rather than cane sugar so my blood sugar doesn't go haywire. Although they can be a bit pricey, I found them on this site for just under three dollars apiece. I heartily recommend these bars to anyone looking for a snack that's both healthy and delicious. I think you'll be hard put to find anything better for your money.
Un snack muy sabroso y original

I was not expecting it to be as yummy as it tasted, so maybe thats why I was even more surprised when I took a bite and was blown away! I loved the flavour and the texture of the bar. I couldn't resist getting more!

CHESTER-In tough economic times, nobody wants to gamble on a job.
That's why, on Wednesday, Melissa Wells, 34, of Lisbon, was among the dozens of job seekers checking out 100 part-time and full-time positions at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort.
Wells worked at Mountaineer two years ago, but transportation issues forced her to leave her housekeeping job. "They were really nice and understanding about the whole thing," she said.
Wells said she enjoyed the job, which involved cleaning and replenishing rooms in the Grande Hotel, and she's glad to have the chance to work there again. On Wednesday, she attended Mountaineer's annual job fair and interviewed with a hiring manager.
Wells said she hopes to get another housekeeping job. "I loved the hours, and I was able to stay busy," she said. "It worked out perfectly because I was able to be with my kids in the evening."
Mountaineer wants people to know that, despite the economic downturn and challenges to the gaming industry in West Virginia, the casino's employment outlook is strong, said Vince Azzarello, senior director of human resources at Mountaineer.
In a news release, the casino, which, like other racetrack casinos in West Virginia, faces increasing competition from bordering states, went so far as to call it a "hiring boom."
"We are fortunate to be surrounded by such great communities, and we are thrilled to announce that we are ... keeping jobs on the forefront," he said.
Most of the jobs are in the food and beverage departments, but there also are openings in gaming, including casino dealer, casino floor supervisor, casino pit manager, poker dealer and poker floor supervisor.
Gaming positions require extra training and a license from the West Virginia Lottery Commission, Azzarello said. All jobs at Mountaineer require a license from the West Virginia Racing Commission.
Mountaineer collaborates with West Virginia Northern Community College to develop a pool of qualified candidates. The college currently is offering an "Intro to Casino Gaming" class on-site, while a course for blackjack dealers is scheduled for April 29 to May 23.
Azzarello said the current hiring push is partly seasonal and partly to fill vacancies. "We're not expanding, but the good news is we're not reducing," he said. "We're always recruiting. We're always looking for good people who can help us take care of our guests."
Azzarello said the employment picture at Mountaineer has stabilized in the last few years, with the casino drawing from both West Virginia and Ohio. Among Hancock County's biggest employers, Mountaineer currently employs between 1,270 and 1,300 people, he said.
The ideal candidate is someone who, while possessing certain skills, also has a certain personality, Azzarello said. "We want fun, exciting people ... who are able to engage the customer. Our guests come with an expectation; they come here to have fun," he said.
"Little things" such as smiling, being welcoming and thanking customers also are important, he said.
As for wages, Azzarello said, "We like to think we're competitive." Some employees who start at minimum wage also have the opportunity to earn tips. What's more, part-time positions often can lead to full-time positions, he said.
"A lot of our dealers have transferred over from food and beverage, and housekeeping, once they became certified," he said. Employees are eligible for a transfer after six months.

Traditional (outbound) marketing was based on who could shout the loudest and catch the attention of the often uninterested passer-by.

What do we mean when we talk about effective web site design? Pretty, Practical or Profitable!
Ideally it should be all 3!
WebMedia is a full-service web site design & website developer providing a complete service including site hosting together with professional & affordable design.
Together with long-term maintenance and support you are guaranteed to be in a position to get the most from your online and digital activities.
Search engine optimisation and web development are two sides of the same coin and as far as we are concered should go hand-in-hand. Each site created and supported by WebMedia has SEO built-in from day one.
After all, once your site is up and running it's not a lot of good if it gets no visitors!
SEO is the process of finding and attracting potential customers to your site.
As part of your web site project, your industry and competition are analysed and the most appropriate terms, terminology, keywords and keyword phrases identified.
It is included as standard and not offered as an afterthought, add-on or, in many cases, not at all.
It doesn't guarantee a first page search position in Google but creates the basis and framework to build on.
And, WebMedia is there to help at each step of the way!
The same level of support and service is available if you find your existing site is under-performing.
WebMedia will carry out a similar analysis and provide a search engine optimisation report highlighting the areas where action should be taken for improvements in the short-, medium- and long-term.
Sometimes it only takes a small change to help get you climbing up the rankings towards that all important first page of search results.
It's 70% more cost-effective to convert existing visitors than find new ones! So why not make the most of them?
Together with SEO and Analytics, Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) provides the framework to enable you to get the most from each and every visitor.
CRO involves identifying the main purpose of the various elements/pages of the site eg sales, newsletter signups, lead generation or whatever is the main objective of your business and testing and measuring their success.
CRO is a process that involves all the elements of a website including design & layout, seo, analytics and together with tools such as Google Website Optimizer, HitTail, Crazy Egg, ClickTale and various others can improve visitor interaction, engagement and satisfaction increasing the conversion rates of your identified goals.
Conversion Rate Optimisation combines all four steps making the most of the work and effort already invested in building a successful and profitable online web business.
Applications like Google Analytics, and other website statistical analysis tools, are an essential element if your website is to be successful.
Google Analytics (GA) is installed as standard for every site designed and built by WebMedia.
It's not necessary but without it any SEO cannot be monitored or measured and although might appear to be having the results required there is no way of knowing just how successful it is or isn't.
At the most basic of levels, analytics confirms whether searchers are finding your site and an upward trend in visitor numbers and pageviews are always welcome signs.
However welcome they are, simply monitoring visitor numbers and pageviews gives very little insights about their expectations, motivation or behaviour eg
The answers to thesel questions give insights into what is working or not and easy to find in most analytics packages! And, sometimes with just a small change can make a substantial impact on keeping or losing a potential customer.
It's the job of effective SEO to get them there and the effective use of Google Analytics can help you keep and profit from them!

Use verb tenses correctly and consistently.
To tell the story of a work of literature or a historical sequence, most writers use the "historical present"; they discuss the events as if they were happening in the present.
1. At the end of the movie Love Story, Jennifer dies a tragic death.
[Historical present correctly used. It is permissible to use either the historical present or the simple past tense in such cases, but whichever one you use, use it consistently.]
Frequently, however, errors of tense are due to standards that vary across disciplines. Check with your professors to find out what tenses their departments prefer.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Although his team is 5-0, coming off a 44-29 win over Indiana and ranked No. 24 in the country, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald believes it's the opponent this week that's playing some of the best football in the nation.
Fitzgerald had nothing but praise for Penn State and its coach, Bill O'Brien, during his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon. The Wildcats' coach said O'Brien has his team playing "as hot as anybody in the country right now."
"They are fast, and they are physical," Fitzgerald said. "Their kids are playing with an attitude, they are playing for each other and they are playing for their university. It is impressive to watch what they are doing."
This week is the first time this season, the Wildcats have made it into the Top 25. The Nittany Lions have not beaten a ranked team at Beaver Stadium since 2008.
Fitzgerald downplayed the importance of his team moving into the polls and said it's something completely out of their control. The coach said his team is still "young in too many places" and will have its work cut out this weekend.
"We have not put together four full quarters of clean football yet in all three phases," the coach said.
Fact Box
Mauti honored
Linebacker Michael Mauti was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks Monday, after his two-interception performance in Saturday's 35-7 win at Illinois. Mauti was named the top defensive player in the nation on Sunday by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Kain Colter is listed as the Wildcats' starting quarterback for Saturday's game, but Fitzgerald was noncommittal on how he would be used along with teammate Trevor Siemian.
Last week Colter played both quarterback and wide receiver. The junior finished with four rushing touchdowns on 14 carries for 161 yards. He also had nine catches for 131 yards. Siemian threw for 308 yards and completed 22-of-32 attempts in his first career start.
The offensive duo will face what their coach called the best defense his team has seen all season led by senior linebacker Michael Mauti. Fitzgerald said he watched with great respect this summer as Mauti fought to keep together his team in the midst of NCAA sanctions.
Fitzgerald said this is a completely different Penn State team compared to those his teams have faced in the past.
The coach said the Lions present a number of schematic challenges that makes game prepping for them so difficult. Fitzgerald said O'Brien puts great pressure on opposing defenses to tip their hands with the amount of formations and motions the Lions run.
The Wildcats are preparing to play in a loud and excited Beaver Stadium on Saturday, especially since Penn State is returning home riding a three game win streak.
It will be homecoming, and some Penn State students are planning a "student whiteout" with the help of social media to help show their support.
The effort is being organized by Nittanyville, a group of students who camp outside Beaver Stadium in the days leading up to every home game.
"The students all come to the game, it's awesome," Fitzgerald said. "It's a great college environment. The fans are very knowledgeable, and obviously Pennsylvania football speaks for itself."
Fitzgerald called Beaver Stadium one of the best environments in college football and said his team is embracing the challenge of coming to play there. He said come around 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, he will have a much better idea of where his team is at and how good it really is.
"This is why you come to play to play Big Ten football," Fitzgerald said.

LISBON - The county agency that provides public defender services received an additional 5 percent funding in its 2013 budget, the first such increase in several years.
The increase was included in renewal of the contract between Columbiana County commissioners and the Criminal Defense Co., the non-profit agency created to provide mandatory public defender services to accused criminals who lack the money to hire an attorney.
The CDC will receive $427,500 in 2013 under the one-year contract. The agency was allocated $405,500 this year.
Commissioner Chairman Mike Halleck said he promised CDC Director Fred Naragon they would provide additional funding if any should come available, and the board is now in position to keep that pledge.
The CDC was created by commissioners in 1997 to replace the former county public defender's office, where the staff attorneys were county employees and entitled to employee benefits, such as health insurance and retirement benefits. Under the CDC, the 10 staff attorneys are contract employees employed by the agency and not the county, and therefore receive no county benefits.
Halleck said their decision to take advantage of the law allowing them to create the CDC has saved the county a considerable amount of money over the years.
"Actually, it's not (costing) much more than what we were spending 15 years ago," he said.
Naragon said the CDC works smoothly compared to other county public defenders, judging by comments he has heard at the state public defender association meetings.
The county receives 35 percent reimbursement from the state for every dollar it spends on public defender services.
In another note, commissioners will not be meeting this week. Their next meeting will be 10 a.m. Dec. 31.

To the editor:
In 2011, the U.S. federal government was downgraded by Standard and Poor's from AAA to AA+. This is concrete affirmation that the current administration is fiscally out of control. The re-election of President Obama affirms that it is the voting public who are out of touch, not Mitt Romney.
To expect the "rich" to shovel more of their "fair share" into an investment as shaky as the U.S. government is to expect reasonably sound financial minds to throw fiscal logic out the window.
Even those who wish to exist on a lifetime of entitlement programs should realize that you can't kill the goose and expect golden eggs to continue. We have a significant portion of the electorate who are uninformed, unaware or just intellectually vacant. What are our leaders' excuses?
