The Situation: 'I'm at a Good Place, But it Took … a Lot of Rainy Days'
Shortly after the conclusion of Jersey Shore's fifth season, it was announced that star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was checking into rehab for a painkiller addiction. Sorrentino, 29, expressed publicly that he was aware of his drug problem and wished to get it under control. Less than two weeks later, the reality television fixture was out of rehab, reportedly having reached his goal of overcoming the addiction. A month and a half later, The Situation opens up to MTV about his struggles in and after rehab, and the relationships that his choices have affected — focusing especially on his friendship with Snooki.
The Situation explains that although he is presently "at a good place," that there were "a lot of rainy days, so to speak" on his journey toward sobriety. The addiction began as a means to combat Sorrentino's exhaustion. He states, "I thought it might have given me energy. I thought it helped me. Because it's a painkiller. You're not tired anymore. Then, after a while, you're like, 'Oh, wow, maybe this is going to help my schedule out.'"
While the abuse of a single drug often opens the door to other substances, the Situation affirms that his problem was "strictly painkillers," and that "even on Jersey Shore, [he] was never drunk," citing the fact that, "you can't get girls if you can't speak to them."
Naturally, the Situation's experiences affected his family and friends, but the reality star affirms that his Jersey Shore cast mates have shown him a great deal of support. "Those guys, I love. I'm going to be connected with those kids for the rest of my life … At the end of the day, all the kids care for each other." But of course, his relationship with Snooki is a bit more complicated. "We used to be very close … She had my back, and I had her back, too. We were close for a long time. We hooked up in Season 1. I am upset that we are not as close … today. I will say that I care about the girl, for sure."
It's a long road to recovery, and Sorrentino appears to be dedicated to reaching his goal. Although there will be hardships along the way — the potential of relapse and lost relationships — he appears to a have a good attitude about putting drug abuse behind him.

Russia's religious leaders call on Russia to follow its own unique path of development and build up its military might, Izvestiya reports. The official head of Russia's muslim community calls for an "Islamic-Orthodox Jihad" against the West.
Bishop Vsevolod Chaplin, deputy head of international ecclesial relations at the Moscow Patriarchate, said Russia needs to be strong militarily to prevent any infringement on its way of life, global interests, and ability to influence what is happening in the world. He said Russia needs to propose its own way of historical development to neighbouring nations.
Russia's Supreme Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin called on muslims and Orthodox Christians to "join a united Islamic-Orthodox Jihad against the Empire of Satan," i.e., the United States. Tadzhuddin said Russia's anti-Western position, manifest in the recognition of Abkhaz and South-Ossetian independence, will do away with America's influence on the world arena, "which all muslims should make use of."

Ok so I have read a lot about affiliate marketing, and I know I am going to give this a go. I have excellent computer skills, previous experience with web site building, and I learn very quickly. My question is what is the most recommended form of affiliate marketing? I have read about everything from list building to niche sites. As well as combining the two by having a landing page to get subscribers then directing them to the niche site. I have a few different categories that I could use for a niche site, but I want to proceed with the best possible route. I am the type of person that once I set out on an adventure I do not stop until I become very very good at it. Any and all comments and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site. I am not looking to get rich over night, but if possible to bring in that extra that will allow a little breathing room and the occasional extra vacation. lol

A landing page is not just a page to collect subscribers' email addresses.
Any time I see one of those pop-up pages asking for my email I close the page
& run - I never go back.
A landing page is a page that converts to the marketing action
desired such as the consumer clicking on a product picture/link & buying
the product from the merchant site etc... but don't take my word for it,
take Tim Ash's word:
Tim: A landing page is not necessarily a stand-alone page. My definition of a landing page is pretty broad: any page where traffic lands on the way to a measurable conversion action. This can be a stand-alone page, a micro-site, or a page deep within a larger site.
Conversion Heroes Part 7: Landing Page Optimization – An Interview with Tim Ash | Unbounce
You need a site with good design, you need a focus -- what makes you want to visit other sites and/or buy from them?
You need something special about your own site and no one can tell you what that is.
Also, I wouldn't worry about a marketing/email list until you have something really good to offer people. Build the site first and then start a list.

Do some keyword research around a niche you want to market. Buy a domain that relates but don't keyword stuff it. Sign-up for low cost hosting, some will give you a free domain with it. Make sure its Wordpress friendly and install Wordpress. You may want to shop for a theme first that gives you the functionality but that is not necessary.
Now that you have built a site, start writing copy focusing on long tail terms that may not get you a ton of traffic but it will be focused traffic. Write for the reader and use common sense to your layout, navigation and page names.

How to Accomplish a Successful Blog Launch
A little over a week ago, I officially launched Miranda Nahmias. I was insanely excited to have a successful blog launch and finally be able to share with everybody what I'd been working on for the past 30 days (yes, I did actually spend 30 days on my blog before I went live).
Today, I'm here to talk about exactly how successful the launch was and what you can do to recreate my results for your own blog launch!
How to Accomplish a Successful Blog Launch
Take your time to set up your blog before launching.
Right after I first decided to start this blog, I told myself that I was going to pick a date, and then do everything in my power to prepare myself for a great launch before that date came. So I chose December 1st and got to work.
I set up all the technical stuff, designed my website, came up with a brand concept, established a social media presence, and started getting active in the entrepreneurial communities on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
By the time I finally launched, I was so ready. I'd watched webinars, I'd taken notes, I'd done my research. I'd even built up a small following on social media so that, when it was time to pull back the curtain, there were actually a few people in the audience who were excited to see what I'd created.
If you don't have a presence before your launch, how are people going to know that your blog is live and why will they want to check it out? Connecting with people beforehand allowed me to truly launch with a bang.
Give your readers something to read!
There were a few pages on my blog that I'd yet to fully finish — like my services and portfolio pages, as well as my collaborate page.
But in order to have a successful blog launch, I did make sure to have a few posts already there for people to read, plus an About Me page, and a working contact form. Basically, you want to have a welcome post, plus 2-5 other posts that showcase the various topics you will be blogging about. And make sure they are of quality content!
You want people to come back again and again, so get them intrigued.
Give at least one of your posts a content upgrade.
Building up your email list is essential if you're trying to make money as a blogger. And you need to grab those emails right from the start.
Before I even launched, I made sure that I had a MailChimp account set up, and I added a freebie — Everything You Need to Do Before You Launch Your WordPress Blog — to my post explaining why I waited 30 days before launching my blog.
I didn't get a ton of email signups on launch day, but I would've missed out on all of them if I hadn't had a content upgrade!
Social Media, Social Media, Social Media
The biggest thing that allowed me to have a successful blog launch was how much I made use of social media. I used it a lot on the day of my launch, but I also made good use of it leading up to the launch as well. I posted sneak-peeks of my blog design on Instagram, referenced my launch date on Twitter, and asked questions in Facebook groups.
People knew I was coming, and they couldn't wait to see what I had to offer.
When December 1st finally rolled around, I was very strategic about promoting myself on social media. I made sure that I had special (branded) graphics created for Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and I used the crap out of them. If you're reading this, then I'm sure you saw that smiling face of mine that I used for my graphic at least once!
Successful Blog Launch Social Media Strategy
I posted about my new blog at the exact time of my launch (11:00am EST) and then had scheduled posts going out every two hours until midnight, all using my launch graphic. I also had tweets going out promoting each specific post I had up.
Using Iconosquare's analytics feature (paid plans only), I figured out what was the best time to post on that day, and uploaded my graphic at the correct time. My normal Instagram strategy is to post once a day, so I decided not to post more than that even though it was my launch day. I probably could've posted multiple times if I'd taken the time to have cool photography ready to go, but I just didn't end up having time for that.
Facebook, I knew, was going to be my best bet for a lot of click-throughs. I'm in about 10 Facebook groups, and I made use of them all on my launch day.
Usually, when you join a Facebook group, the host allows you to introduce yourself and post a link to your blog. Even though I'd joined some of the groups weeks earlier, I saved up my introduction post and made use of it on December 1st, to let people know about my blog. I also think that a blog launch counts as a "win," which a lot of Facebook groups allow you to post about, even though, admittedly, it is kind of promotional.
I didn't want to spam people's feeds, so starting at 11am, I posted to a Facebook group with an introduction of myself, a link to my new blog, and my launch graphic every 1.5-2 hours. I also changed the wording in each post, because it was really important to me to remain authentic and try to tailer each post depending on which group I was posting in.
I ended up having time to post to almost all of the groups I belong to. The only group that deleted my post as "against the rules" was Caitlin Bacher's For Love + Money. Which I was fine with! The rest of my posts went really well, and I was super happy with the response I got from everybody. Tons of people congratulated me, which was so awesome. I made sure to let them know how much that meant to me by replying to each and every comment with a personal note, thanking them for their support.
The Results
I did have, in the back of my mind, an idea of how many page views I wanted to get on Launch Day. I went with a pretty big goal of 300 views.
At first, things weren't looking good. By mid-afternoon, I'd only received about 150 page views, and I was ready to accept defeat. I ended up forcing myself not to look at the stats for the rest of the day, until finally I checked again at midnight….
And I'd gotten 428 views!!!!
My original goal, which I thought was pretty far-reaching, ended up being exceeded by almost 50%!
Just in case you're curious — Facebook was my biggest source of traffic with 141 referrals, Twitter sent 20 people over to me, and Pinterest gave me 2.
I seriously could not have asked for a more successful blog launch. I'm so happy with how everything turned out, and the amazing support I received from everybody. So many people visited or commented or tweeted, and it truly was one of the best days of the entire year for me (probably followed only by the day I got engaged!).

I never put any thought into launching my blog…I thought of a name and started a WordPress account. The only thing I would have done differently was self hosted from the start. I am still to this day not self hosted and probably won't switch because I've heard so many horror stories. Great advice here for those just starting out. I found you through a Facebook group 🙂
Thanks for all the advice! I used google analytics for my launch and wanted to know which is a better number to go off of.. Visitors or the number of visits?
Wow, you really did your homework! Great job! I didn't put anywhere near as much thought into things when I started my first blog 8 years ago. I was on blogger, typed something up and hit publish, lol. I think my mom read it. 😉 Your way sounds much more effective!
Congrats on your successful blog launch! It sounds like you put a lot of thought into it, and it really paid off. It's such a good idea to have a content upgrade in one of your very first blog posts. And 428 pageviews on your first day is nothing short of fantastic! Here's to even more success for you!
Wow Miranda – that is a lot of page views for one day! I am sure you are going to rock this blog! The designs you presented for my blog and social media changes are so gorgeous, it is hard for me to pick just one!
Blog launches are so much fun! I loved launching my new website, although there's already things that I think I could have done to make it even more successful. You definitely did all of the right things, and I'm loving your blog!
Wow, this is awesome! I'm just getting started in my blogging journey and it is so encouraging to read how successful you were and how you made it happen. Do you have some favorite FB groups that you would recommend?
Hi there! I'm launching a blog on March 1. How far in advance do you think I should start promoting over social media and following prospective readers? I'm thinking two weeks to a month, but I have no real basis for that number. Thanks for your help!
Hi Jess! I suggest 1 month. I even have a blog post called "Why I Waited 1 Month to Launch My Blog" haha. You can check that out here: http://www.mirandanahmias.com/why-i-waited-30-days-before-launching-my-blog/
This is really helpful. I am still getting my blog put together and should really set a launch date so I have a self imposed deadline. I'm glad to know I'm doing many of the right things. I do have a question about developing a monetization strategy. I actually found your blog by searching on "blog monetization strategy" in Pinterest. I'm curious as to how many affiliates one should have, what to look for in an affiliate, how/when/if to incorporate ads, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Wow! I wasn't going to make a big deal of launching my blog, but you've just inspired me! I'm new to blogging, right now I just have an "under construction" message up on my site, but tonight I'm going to sit down and plan a launch date! Thank you!
My name is Ana and I am the face behind the blog, a proud puppy owner
This career sounds interesting! I definitely think being a blogger and knowing how to grow a following and use social media helps!

Well that's what it looked like when I opened up my Herald this morning, which had a file photo of NBA Commissioner David J. Stern accompanying this story about Plantation Foreclosure King David J. Stern:
(That Stern is one busy cat.)
A state appeals court in West Palm Beach has ruled a class-action lawsuit claiming Plantation attorney David J. Stern charged excessive fees to homeowners fighting their foreclosures can move forward, three years after it was first filed.
The 4th District Court of Appeal's opinion upheld an earlier decision by Palm Beach Circuit Judge Thomas Barkdull. Barkdull had granted class-action certification to a suit brought by Boynton Beach electrician Loren Banner against his lender, Wells Fargo Bank, Stern and Stern's firm, which handled Wells Fargo's foreclosure work.

I agree. I read this post and the first thing that hit my mind was "he reads a newspaper?" Maybe it is a mistake and he meant to say that he picked up his IPad and read it. At the end of the post, I realized it had something to do with David J. Stern. But the image of someone walking in the driveway at 6 am and picking up the paper is so old school. Kinda reminds me of 1967 when I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Boston Globe to check the scores from the previous night's baseball games.ReplyDelete

Abbott announces free trade agreement with South Korea1:43
PM Tony Abbott announces in parliament that the government has secured a free trade agreement with South Korea.
THE Abbott government has secured a free trade deal with South Korea, the first of three it pledged to seal in its first 12 months in power.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says Trade Minister Andrew Robb brought the negotiations with Australia's fourth-largest trading partner to a successful conclusion this week.
"The conclusion of this free trade agreement will see the delivery of a key election commitment," Mr Abbott told parliament today.
As part of the deal, tariffs of up to 300 per cent will be eliminated on Australian exports such as beef, wheat, sugar, dairy, wine, seafood, resources and manufactured goods.
Australian automotive suppliers will benefit from the immediate removal of tariffs as high as eight per cent.
It will also provide new market opportunities for Australian services in education, telecommunications, as well as financial, accounting and legal services.
Mr Abbott says independent modelling shows the free trade agreement (FTA) would be worth $5 billion between 2015 and 2030 and boost the economy by about $650 million annually after 15 years. Negotiations for the deal with South Korea started under Labor in March 2009.
It is one of three FTAs Mr Abbott pledged to secure in his first 12 months as prime minister. He also hopes to sign agreements with Japan and China.
The Korean agreement will be signed and come into operation after domestic approval processes in both countries.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the FTA presents significant opportunities for Australia.
The National Farmers' Federation says the deal will provide millions of dollars in export value to farmers.
"While the deal doesn't deliver everything the Australian agricultural sector had advocated for, it is a strong step towards securing Australia's important trading future with Korea," federation president Brent Finlay said in a statement.
Mr Finlay said rice was notably absent from the deal.
The Australian Services Roundtable says the speed with which the government clinched the deal "augurs well" for the negotiations with Japan and China.
Two-way trade between Australia and South Korea reached $32 billion in 2012.
Mr Abbott also insisted Australia is still open for business and investment, despite the government's rejection of the $3.4 billion foreign takeover of GrainCorp.
Treasurer Joe Hockey last week blocked the purchase of GrainCorp by the giant American agribusiness Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), sending GrainCorp shares down as much as 25 per cent on the failed deal.
Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen used parliamentary question time today to ask Mr Abbott about the decision, and how it could fit with his promise that Australia will be open for business under a coalition government.
"Let me make it absolutely crystal clear. Of 131 significant foreign investment applications, 130 have been approved. By any standards, Australia is open for business,'' Mr Abbott said.
Mr Bowen has said he would have approved the ADM-GrainCorp deal and that Mr Hockey had bowed to political pressure from the Nationals, who had campaigned strongly against the takeover.
Farm groups had also campaigned against the ADM takeover, which would have given the US company control of 85 per cent of Australia's east coast grain ports.
Mr Abbott hit back at Mr Bowen's comments, saying Labor had plenty of time to approve the ADM deal before the September 7 election.
"He was the treasurer for much of the time in question. The foreign investment application in question lay on his desk for months. He says it should have been approved. Well he had months to do it, and he didn't,'' he said.

Just for shits and giggles or are you helping out at a club or something?
I'm NROI, but would like get NRA's too since one of the local clubs is "NRA or gtfo" when it comes to events.
Well, I want to help out at my local club some, maybe get into helping with matches. The main reason I got it is because the club I go to is unsupervised at almost all times. When you complete the NRA RSO class you get an orange badge. I see a lot of stupid things going on out there that as a regular member I have really no option but to report it after it happens. If I'm an RSO I am within my boundaries to go up and ask the person to knock it off. Since the range targets and frames that get messed up normally are made by members and paid for by the club, the earlier you stop people from goofing off the better. It's always just a few people that ruin it for everyone else unfortunately.
I hear you about douchebaggery at the range. At the range I belong to EVERY ONE is considered an RO. If you see someone breaking rules or just acting stupid, you are encouraged to POLITELY point out their error and offer them a way to correct it. If they continue, go get old man KC and he will come out and read them the fucking riot act. This guy is old as hell, but he is a big guy, and when he comes at you angry, you STFU and listen.
I have corrected alot of people on the range, I always do so with a smile as long as it is not a serious danger issue. Most of the time it is simple things like no eye gear or ear wear, or maybe bringing a long gun on the handgun range. Other times it is more serious such as handling a weapon while the range is "cold", which could potentially end up in someone getting shot. I have raised my voice to dumb asses who break that rule. I am NOT trying to get shot BC some dumb fuck wants to play with his goddam gun while I am in front of it changing my targets.
welcome to the club
My class was painfully long and boring. Some was ok, but it was 3 days iirc, and day 3 ran over like 3 hours.
Either way, it's a good step to being "certified" for some ranges.
God that was a long class. Atleast we got a break for food partway through when I took it

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Guy Raz.
The Defense Department and the defense industry are playing, well, defense. That's after the supercommittee ran into a dead end this week. With that, mandatory cuts are supposed to kick in about a year from now, half of which would come from the Pentagon. In a moment, we'll hear why some are arguing the Pentagon will be just fine with less money. But first, as NPR's Peter Overby explains, no interest group stands to lose more than the defense industry.
PETER OVERBY, BYLINE: The supercommittee's failure puts in motion automatic budget cuts for the Pentagon, $600 billion worth. The process is called sequestration. And so on Monday, even before the supercommittee flamed out, defense workers in York, Pennsylvania, rallied to protect the Pentagon budget and perhaps their own jobs. The local congressman, Republican Todd Platts, spoke to the workers.
REPRESENTATIVE TODD PLATTS: When you get on this assembly line and you start building these amazing products that save the lives of courageous Americans in harm's way, you do it as Americans.
OVERBY: And example of that Platts said Republicans and Democrats in Congress should follow. The York factory is owned by BAE Systems. Mostly, it makes and refits Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the mine-resistant trucks called MRAPs.
The rally in York wasn't spontaneous. It was part of a lobbying campaign run by the Aerospace Industries Association, the trade group for the big defense contractors. The association's president, Marion Blakey, addressed the factory workers. Later, she said the campaign is called Second to None because America should always give its military the best.
MARION BLAKEY: Night-vision goggles, unmanned systems, the helicopter that went in to take out Osama bin Laden, all that is the result of real R and D.
OVERBY: Research and development that will be crippled by the coming cuts, she said, unless Congress is persuaded to act.
BLAKEY: You know, there's no substitute for grassroots activity, letter writing, meeting with members, going to rallies. And that is what the defense industry is initiating with the Second to None campaign.
OVERBY: If the automatic cuts take effect, the industry predicts 1 million jobs lost and ground forces shrunk to pre-World War II levels. Others are skeptical.
STAN COLLENDER: These contractors just don't want their pipelines reduced or the number of copies of weapons reduced so that their profits stay high.
OVERBY: Stan Collender is a Washington analyst with long experience dissecting budgets and lobbying campaigns.
COLLENDER: Certainly, if there's any kind of a military threat to the country between now and when the cuts would take place, they will use that as reasoning not to let these cuts take effect.
OVERBY: But it's not even clear that the defense contractors know how to run this kind of broad grassroots effort. Michael Herson is president of the lobbying firm American Defense International. It counts some well-known contractors among its clients. Herson says the industry has a long way to go before it can match the clout of the seniors' lobby, AARP.
MICHAEL HERSON: If you turn on the TV and you see a commercial that's paid for by AARP, it's meant to scare you. That, hey, we can't cut Social Security and Medicare because it's going to hurt seniors, and they vote.
OVERBY: And he says that for years now, defense contractors have only worried about their own products, their pet rocks, he says.
HERSON: The defense industry does not have a history of working together to lobby for what we call the top line, you know, how much we can spend on defense. They have a history of working to protect their pet rocks.
OVERBY: The budget timetable could work against the industry, as well. Sequestration isn't due to start until 2013, but Herson points out that planning for the 2013 budget starts this coming February. If the automatic cuts get written into the early drafts, it may be tough to undo them. Peter Overby, NPR News, Washington.

Hurricane Irma Update
We are fully open for regular admission & tours.
After inspecting the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, including by professional drone, we can thankfully report only minor damage from Hurricane Irma. The new roof performed perfectly, but the wind found a few new places to push some water into the tower. These will need further investigation and repair. Astragal frames that hold the triangular weather glass will also need repairing and repainting. Once again the hurricane collected beach sand and literally "sandblasted" a few areas of paint on the bricks and mortar – those painted both black and red. This will require a hanging swing stage to access the areas under the gallery deck. We are grateful that the Razorback LLC team will be back to assess, repair and repaint all damage caused by Irma along with our maintenance chief.
Other hurricane damage at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum included shingle damage to the museum roof and one of the site houses, and substantial landscaping damage. All artifacts were packed up and put in safe storage prior to the storm and over 600 hurricane shutters were installed to protect our historic buildings.
Hurricane Irma Lighthouse fund – we need YOUR help today! Thanks to our amazing team, all artifacts, exhibits and historic structures remained safe during Hurricane Irma, but we did receive some damage to the Lighthouse & grounds and sustained a crucial loss in our non-profit funding.

Global Village, the region's leading cultural, entertainment and retail destination, has launched its Union Festival. Organised as part of its contribution to the National Day celebrations, the festival will run for 11 days and is a first for Global Village. In view of this, Global Village has announced that it will open its doors for general public today and the Family Day will be held as usual on Mondays after the festival. Today, famous Emirati artists will take to the stage, performing in the first of several live concerts and Emirati singer Mohammed Al Mazroui will be the first to perform. Lebanese Pavilion The Lebanese pavilion was inaugurated at the venue on November 22 to coincide with Lebanon's Independence Day. The Lebanese folk group, Al Andolous, performed a live show at the opening and used traditional mountain drum beats, inspired by the symbol of Lebanon—the Cedar Tree. As the largest participant in the Union Festival, the pavilion is fully decorated with UAE flags and balloons. Traditional Emirati incense burners are spread all over the pavilion in addition to perfume testers, meaning passersby can enjoy the unique experience of Emirati traditional perfume. Folk groups and troupes are performing in the pavilion and from November 28, additional folk dances will be performed, including Razfa, Liwa, Indima, Ayala and Nouban. As part of the hospitality, exhibitors will be offering gifts to celebrate the spirit of the Union Festival. Yemeni Pavilion The Yemeni Pavilion featured a folk performance using one of the poems of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, with a few lines of a poem by famous Yemeni poet Hassan Abdul Haq added to it to compose a song dedicated to UAE leaders and Emiratis in celebration of National Day. Indian Pavilion The heavily decorated Indian pavilion features a show designed especially for the Union Festival and the most striking element is the colourful decorated rickshaws lined up outside Global Village, with drivers wearing UAE flags to express the true spirit of the union. Emirati Traditional Kitchen Many kiosks during the festival have been designed to recreate a typical Emirati kitchen, with freshly made bites and desserts on offer. This is sure to prove popular during the celebrations, as people from all walks of life are able to taste the country's cuisines. Special lighting effects, flags and balloons will all add to the colourful pallette throughout the festival and with the park's giveaways, visitors will be sure to walkaway with a memorable experience, with symbolic gifts in tow.

Anyone know what this component does? Some of our customers seem to get the occasional error when running a Crystal report (especially if they export the report to PDF). What they get is:
"<Application> has encountered a problem and needs to close"
then they click on the "click here for more info" and get
"Error signature...
AppName: application.exe ModName: w3mif145.dll
ModVer 188.8.131.52 Offset: 00006808"
It's only when they run a Crystal report (written in Crystal 10).

By David Nakamura
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 7, 2011; 10:16 PM
The recession has been good to Rick Wuest.
During the past two years, Wuest's company, Thompson Creek, a window manufacturer in Landover, has grown from 168 employees to 289. Sales are booming. And last week, he leased a new 46,000-square-foot headquarters.
Wuest credits an emphasis on customer service and the firm's efficient production model - as well as President Obama's stimulus plan, which had allowed homeowners to write off as much as $1,500 on their income taxes by purchasing energy-efficient windows.
Thompson Creek has offered the discount to more than 6,000 customers, Wuest said.
"Anytime you can offer a product to a homeowner and Uncle Sam will pick up 30 percent of the bill, that helps," Wuest said. "I can't deny that."
On Friday, Obama visited the Thompson Creek production plant, a stone's throw from the FedEx Field in Prince George's County. While there, the president announced new members of his economic team, appointing Treasury aide Gene Sperling to head the National Economic Council.
Obama hailed new economic data that showed the nation added 103,000 jobs in December and the unemployment rate fell from 9.8 percent to 9.4. Thompson Creek, Obama said, was a success story that he hopes is replicated across the country.
"Rick was telling me that when that tax credit got into place, the marketing arm of Thompson Creek got busy," Obama told an audience filled with dozens of Thompson Creek managers. "And that's right - that's exactly what we intended."
Obama's appearance was a bit of bright news for Prince George's, which has some of the highest levels of housing foreclosures in the Washington region.
New County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D), who attended the event, is facing a$77 million budget gap. Baker has said the county will close it by trimming spending instead of dipping into reserves.
For Wuest, the day marked a high point for his family-owned business, which was created by his parents in 1980 in Annapolis. As a youth, Wuest lived above the window plant, a point Obama picked up on in his speech.
"I'll bet sometimes Rick still feels like he's living at the plant," Obama said. "That's what happens when you're in charge."
The company's rapid growth has kept managers such as Joe DelVecchio, the head of the marketing division, busy trying to find new employees.
The firm's Web site currently lists 16 openings in departments including accounting, marketing and sales.
DelVecchio said Thompson Creek has hired 86 people under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, passed by the government in March to offer a tax benefit to employers who hire people who've been laid off.
One of them is Doug Bower, 26, who was hired 10 months ago. Bower was driving to a new job at a staffing company in Miami when he got a call that the job had been eliminated. He returned to Bethesda and waited tables at a Tex-Mex restaurant while trying to navigate what he called a "terrible" job market.
"Employers can be so picky," Bower said. "They all want to see experience, but they're not willing to give it to you."
Eventually, a friend working at Thompson Creek referred Bower to DelVecchio, who promptly offered him a job in sales. Since then, two of Bower's college friends have also been hired.
Wuest said he was shocked when he got a phone call three days ago from a friend at the National Association of Manufacturers, a lobbying organization, who explained that Obama's staff wanted to examine his facility. Before long, Secret Service officers were scouting the place, and plans were in motion for the president's visit.
"We've been growing through a difficult time," Wuest said. "I have friends around the country and locally with similar businesses. They're not all enjoying the success we have. Knock on wood."

Benefits Of Alien Species
July 28, 2000
Professional ecologists are appalled at the spread of non-native forms of life to new areas. They want international controls to prevent the spread of all "invader species." David Pimentel, an ecologist from Cornell University, estimates that the 50,000 nonnative species in North America cost the economy $137 billion annually.
But other scientists say the obvious benefits of alien species should be weighed against the costs.
- For instance, 99 percent of crop plants in the U.S. are nonnative -- as well as all our livestock, except the turkey.
- On the other hand, 60 percent of insect pests are native species.
- And the introduction of new species into an ecosystem tends to raise the total number of species living there -- increasing biodiversity, rather than decreasing it.
A case in point is the zebra mussel, introduced into the Great Lakes via discharged ballast water from European freighters. The University of Maryland's Mark Sagoff, who has worked with the state's Sea Grant program, points out the benefits from the mussels.
- In the Great Lakes, the zebra mussels were found to strain algae and nutrients -- like fertilizer runoff -- and play a significant role in improving water quality by clearing the lakes of polluting organic matter.
- The U.S. Geological Survey reported that water quality in Lake Erie improved dramatically after the introduction of the zebra mussels, by some measures four to six times what it was before.
- The increased water clarity allows more light to penetrate deeper and support more aquatic plants that provide food and habitat for native fish and ducks.

I have always enjoyed supporting independent businesses whenever I can, and coffee houses are especially a draw for me. We can chalk this up to my
addiction to profound appreciation of coffee.
There's this coffee house that I started to frequent many years ago, that I spotted while driving to work one day in Visalia, California. I had Starbucks on my mind, but then I saw Mavericks Coffee House and I pulled into the parking lot. This business won me over on the first day, not just because of the fantastic selection of coffee that they roast on the premises, but because it has a certain charm that felt authentic. Over the years, I saw the owner working with his family all around him, and I personally found that to be something admirable.
For years, I've just purchased my coffee, then either headed off to work or sat down to write if I had a morning off. Recently, since becoming a contributor of Dads Round Table, I started to wonder about what it was like to run a business while being a dad at the same time. Jordan Brown, the owner, seemed to make it look easy. So I asked Jordan if I could interview him, and he agreed.
Here's what Jordan had to say:
I'm going to jump right into what caught my attention the first time I walked into your coffee house: the cowboy theme. You've got dozens of movie posters of cowboy movies and at least a hundred photographs of cowboy actors, many of them autographed. Is this a passion of yours? Tell me about the collection, if you can, and why you chose a cowboy theme, including the name of the business?
The idea to open a Western themed shop was mainly due to my upbringing. My dad has been a collector of cowboy memorabilia since I was born, so I grew up with all the past screen legends from John Wayne to Tom Mix. The other reason to have the name and theme is because we are different. The term Mavericks means going against the grain, so to speak, and I think we have achieved that. All of the western movie posters are originals from a forgotten age, and all the autographs are originals as well.
I've noticed that you have a family-run business here. Was that the plan from the beginning?
Megan is my wonderful wife of almost 9 years and Beau is our blessing who is 4 years old. The good Lord brought both of them into my life and for that I am eternally grateful. They are the reason I am able to juggle what I do. Having my beautiful wife and son at the shop with me is a fantastic experience. There are not many jobs where you can have your family with you, and I am sure we will look back at this time with great appreciation.
Your child, an infant when I first starting coming here myself as a customer, is growing up with this environment with the rich smell of coffee and the constant flux of customers coming and going. I always thought that seemed pretty special — the chance to have your children with you while you work. What is that like for you? How do you juggle the parental responsibilities with running the business? You come across as someone who's got that figured out.
There are some struggles of course with worrying about a 4 year old when you're busy, and there are times he gets a little too excited but I wouldn't trade it for the world. My wife is wonderful, supportive, and my reason for doing what I do — enough said!
One of the biggest hurdles I have gone through, and biggest blessings, is being born with an exstrophy of the bladder. Basically it is when your bladder is born outside of your body. I have had approximately 26 surgeries to this point, which started when I was a week old. People wonder sometimes how someone can deal with something like this and have a business, and school, but I have been blessed to see my challenges in life physically as something that makes me work harder, push harder, and to not make excuses.
We all have either things we struggle with, disabilities we may have to endure, but it does not need to define us. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, so why not take a challenge and make it an ally? One thing that has been a huge help in this area is my precious wife. She views me as normal and is the most encouraging person I know, which has carried me through some of the down times I have had due to my physical limitations.
Tell me about what's happening with you now, aside from life at the coffee house?
I currently am enrolled at San Joaquin College of Law in Clovis, California. I have about 1 year remaining on a 4-year program and then I will have my Juris Doctor in Law. People ask how I have been able to juggle so many things and I can simply say that the Lord, and the wife He gave me, is how I have been able to get through the somewhat difficult program. I had been out of school for about 14 years so it was a struggle going back, especially to such an intensive program, but I have been blessed to continue the schooling and am getting a better grip on how to succeed in law school.
The first year was very trying since I had school 4 nights a week from 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., thus I would get home about 10:30 p.m., and then get up at 4:30 a.m. to get to work. It was exhausting and very difficult, but the biggest regret I have is the time I missed from my family. As a father we have a duty to do our best to honor and care for our family the best we can, so that back and forth between trying to pursue a doctorate that can help our family versus the time away will always weigh on me.
Again, my family has been my strength and only the Lord has gotten us through this time. The second year was a little less time constraining and the third year I am currently in is about the same, so there has been a little reprieve which is fantastic for all of us.
With companies like Starbucks being so ubiquitous, is it challenging to compete for business? I imagine, however, that there must be a lot of customers, like myself, who would rather support an independent company than a large chain.
Starbucks is not really competition in a sense. They are so big that competing with them is not even possible and one must actually thank places such as Starbucks because they created this coffee market we currently live in. What Mavericks tries to do is just give people of the San Joaquin Valley an option. Most of the customers who have come in over the years instantly taste the difference, so like I said it's not really a competition. Local places like ours can survive in a dominated market when you create a product people love and treat them well, which I think we have achieved.
Our customers have been loyal, supportive and friendly. We would be nothing without them. We have created a family atmosphere and we love that. One thing that is important for business owners is that you will encounter people from all walks of life and all different types of beliefs. We have prided ourselves on always respecting people in all walks of life and becoming friends with many people from all over the spectrum. Many people ask me if Mavericks is a Christian shop. I am not sure Christ wants us to label our shops yet — rather our hope is that people see it in our lives and how we treat people instead.
What plans do you have for the future of Mavericks? I was actually glad to see that you're offering coffee beans for sale online, roasted right here.
The shop has strived to be something Visalia can be proud of. We have been fortunate to receive great reviews on our website, maverickscoffeehouse.com, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and many other sites. We strive to always be fresh by the brew bar system and roasting all of our coffee on site. I currently have about 15,000 roasts under my belt which is how I do what I do — experience. We strive to serve the best mochas, lattes, and iced drinks in the market. We also strive to carry local food products when possible.
This post is not, in any way, a paid advertisement for Mavericks. All opinions expressed are absolutely genuine. So get yourself some coffee if you're in the Visalia area of California or find them online at Mavericks Coffee House!

These counties have Ireland's most dangerous roads, new study shows
The Gardaí and RSA have urged people to take extra care on Irish roads this bank holiday weekend following a week with nine road deaths. But which counties have the most dangerous roads?
Cork and Dublin have the highest number of deaths, but new research has shown that there are other candidates for the most dangerous roads.
When the number of cars on the road is taken into account, Longford is highest at 2.19 fatalities per 10,000 cars on the road and Monaghan is second at 1.4 per 10,000.
They also rank highest in fatalities per 300km, which is important to consider since longer roads pose a higher risk for accidents.
Researchers at Idiro Analytics argue that this means that Longford and Monaghan have the most dangerous roads.
In simple terms, these numbers mean that an individual driver in Monaghan or Longford has a higher chance of dying in an accident than a driver in Dublin or Cork.
- Read More: Crash deaths at 'crisis' point - minister
The researchers examined data on the quality of Irish roads collected in 2011 and 2012 and noted that although Longford and Monaghan were low on the lists of counties needing road reconstruction or surface restoration, they are the number one and two on the list of counties whose roads need resealing and restoration of skid resistance.
Idiro Analytics have urged drivers in Longford and Monaghan to take extra care with their speed on these roads.
"Per km the roads in both Co Longford & Co Monaghan pose a greater risk and extra care needs to be taken. Therefore, be careful out on the roads this weekend & especially so in Cos Longford & Monaghan."
The overall number of fatalities this year is higher than at the same point last year, but the overall trend over the last 20 years is positive.
"The Road Safety Authority (RSA) have issued statements about taking extra care on the roads this weekend. And by looking at the numbers over the last 20 years, it's clear the RSA are succeeding in their goal to make our roads safer.
"Even though the number of fatalities this year is higher than the same time period in 2015, the overall trend is that our roads are becoming safer," the researchers said.
A spokesperson for the Road Safety Authority told Independent.ie they would need their own research department to analyse and review the date before making an official comment.
However, they did explain how this research focuses on a two-year period and the RSA would study a minimum of five years worth of data before drawing on any trends.

GCSE Delight for St George's Ascot Pupils
Following exceptional A level results last week, there was more pleasing news for St George's this morning as Fifth Year pupils received their GCSE results. 50% of all examinations were graded A* and A, 83% were graded A*, A and B and 97% were graded A*-C.
St George's top performer this year was Lily Caines, who achieved 11A*s! Lily, a keen Drama student has been awarded a 16+ Performing Arts Scholarship and also received the 'Fifth Year Effort Prize' at Prize Giving held in July.
Other top performers include Marsha Ilina and Antonina Kudryashova, both of whom achieved 10A*s, 2As. Classmate, Hannah Chahal also attained an impressive record of high end grades with 9A*s, 1A.
Commenting on the impressive results, Headmistress, Mrs Owens said: "Our reputation is built on consistency and I am delighted that St George's has maintained another fantastic year of results! St George's girls are encouraged to work conscientiously and to the best of their ability and this, combined with inspirational teaching has delivered this excellent set of results. We are particularly pleased with our value-added score this year, which shows that we continue to add significant uplift to our girls' achievements. I have every confidence that these girls will continue to thrive in the next chapter of their education".
St George's offers warm congratulations to all pupils on their achievements and looks forward to welcoming the new Lower Sixth cohort on 7 September.

Old Scheme Modules¶
Software installations on the clusters span many applications, and many different version numbers of the same application. It is not possible (nor desirable) to use them all at the same time, since different versions of the same application may conflict with each other. In order to simplify the control of which application versions are available in a specific session, there is a system for loading and unloading 'modules' which activate and deactivate the relevant parts of your user session.
The main command for using this system is the module command. You can find a list of all its options by typing:
module --help
Below we listed the most commonly used options.
Which modules are currently loaded?¶
To see the modules currently active in your session, use the command:
module list
Which modules are available?¶
In order to see a complete list of available modules, issue the command:
module avail
The resulting list will contain module names conforming to the following pattern:
- name of the module
- /
- version
- (default) if default version
How to load a module¶
In order to make, for instance, the NetCDF library available issue the command:
module load netCDF
This will load the default NetCDF version. To load a specific version, just include the version after a slash:
module load netCDF/3.6.2
How to unload a module¶
Keeping with the above example, use the following command to unload the NetCDF module again:
module unload netcdf
Which version of a module is the default?¶
In order to see, for instance, which version of NetCDF is loaded by the module, use:
module show netcdf
This will show the version and path of the module.
How do I switch to a different version of a module?¶
Switching to another version is similar to loading a specific version. As an example, if you want to switch from the default (current) Intel compilers version to version 14.0, type:
module switch intel intel/14.0

"We wanted to get married in a church with a reception venue close by. We also wanted a quintessentially English wedding in beautiful countryside – Birtsmorton ticked all the boxes. Fantastic venue with a fantastic team."
Spring & Summer Church Weddings

Dating back to the 14th century, the church is beautifully well-kept and can hold up to 115 people. To find out more about church weddings or to arrange a visit, please contact Reverend Julie James on 01531 651795 or email email@example.com.
Before your church ceremony

I agree totally. I have an old Okidata 380D that has outlasted 3 of those "fancy" printers. It always works, and does text just fine. Since I don't print pictures, it is all I really need.
I just need to remember to print my work before the babies are asleep.
This doesn't work because these tactics take effect a long time after the customer made his buying decision.
They will only follow if morons continue to buy their products.
And herein lies the problem. The "free market" is an economic model that makes many assumptions. In a "free market" the theoretical consumers make rational decisions all the time, and are perfectly informed.
The fact that morons exist and are consumers is one of the uncountably large number of reasons that a pure free market will never exist in the real world, and therefore we can't magically expect the market's "invisible hand" to make things work well.
> Problem is that once a company like HP sets a presidence like this others will think they can follow.
And that opens the door for companies like XFX, Goldstar, Leadtek, et. al. to enter the market and make cheap knockoffs without these limitations. Companies like this feed off of higher priced competitor products.
They're playing with fire if they do that; printer manufacturers are already under investigation for anticompetitive practices by the EU. If they have any sense, they'll back off fast.
Do you really think Carly cares about your silly rules? She is busy adding HP to her list of dying companies. As long as that rigged cartridge adds a nickel to her bonus, that's the way it will be.
But how can a judge indict them if they control the printers the indictments are printed with?
Basically, companies that can manufacture ink jet cartridges (relatively small products) but cannot manufacture their own printers can be locked out of the market, eliminating consumers' ability to choose to buy from these smaller companies.
Any ideas?
Try Canon, for one. The S750 I purchased last summer uses the same non-chipped ink tanks as most of their other new-line home and small office printers, so even though I don't see the S750 on their web site any more, I'm pretty sure that they will be making their ink this way for some time to come.
(It's a very good printer, besides, if you were wondering for your own reference... Prints fast (I don't have a ppm count... not nosebleed fast, but notably faster than my roommate's HP), works well with the gimp-print drivers if you use Linux, prints photos well enough for my eyes, and has all sorts of other bells and whistles.)
Offset by the cost of a slightly more pricey printer ($140), the ink is pretty inexpensive. The black cartridge will set you back $15; the full set of three color cartridges costs $30. Canon ink comes in transparent plastic "dumb" cartridges that are completely sucked dry when the driver tells you they're empty... the printer won't cheat you out of any of it, as it actually measures how much ink is left in the tank rather than using HP or Epson style guesswork.
There are a few other non-evil printer manufacturers, I'm sure, but Canon seems to be the best as far as I've heard. Any other suggestions, anyone?
If you don't like it, buy someone else's product.
Impossible? No: it actually happened in the Netherlands. And there weren't all that many cries of outrage - apparently people thought it was an ok thing to do. Some data: the offending phone company was KPN (the former state monopoly); 177,000 people were disconnected in a three month period (that's 1.1% of the entire Dutch population); even though t
Hey, tell that one to Ariana Huffington, a 3 day cooling off period for purchasers of SUV's!
Could join it to Megan's law, force SUV owners to place a sign on their front lawn 'environmental disaster area lives here'.
That means if a store sells you a 4 year old cartridge, you only have 6 months left.
But that doesn't matter, it's about principles. Where do you draw the line? If 99% of users are unaffected it's OK to purposely breake products? 95%? 90? 80? 60? By your logic, HP could dower these times a bit just for kicks and some morons would still defend their decision.
Purposely breaking products is vandalism. And just because there are not that many affected, doesn't change a thing. HP is not better than somebody trashing public phones, smashing windows or keying cars.
OK, I'll buy that. So why go to the expense of including an expiration chip in it then? Think about this for a second.
This also begs this question - Have they been testing this technology since 1999? Not likely. It is most likely a programmable chip. So maybe in the next batch of cartridges, they can change the expiration date to 6 months, and make it behave like it just ran out of ink. The end user will just think they ran out, and buy another cartridge.
I used to think I was a little paranoid, but then the DMCA gets passed, and greedy f'ing companies try to pull this kind of crap, and I think maybe I wasn't paranoid enough.
> if the ink hasn't dryed up by the time you get around to using it, the quality is going to be shit.
What, do you work for HP? So HP is looking after my best interest to make sure my documents always look their best. How nice of them. Perhaps they should cut the expiration date in half just in case...
Pffft. I'LL be the judge of when my cartridge is due to be replaced. If your goal is to truely make sure your customer's prints are quality, how about innovation instead of limitation. Try to figure out a way to make the carts last longer. If your printers have the reputation of "lasting forever", I gaurentee your sales will go up.
"err... does anyone know how to change ink cartridges? Please"
"Ok don't panic. It's probably under this cover somewhere"
"shit, only 3 seconds to find the bloody thing. Why oh why didn't I read the user manual?"
"Aha - that looks like it"
"Just about got it out..."
Can you purchase after-market products, new seats,
new engines, new spark plugs, new oil and gas for
your car? Imagine if GM did the following:
What's to prevent them from doing that?
I'd like to see a consumers' group sue their arse off for this.
Grabbed a cartridge from the storage room, as the one that was in there seemed to be out.
Funny, it wasn't printing yellow. Ran some cleaning routines, still no luck.
Then grabbed another cartridge.
IT wasn't printing cyan.
Then another cartridge.
5 cartridges later, I got one that was printing all three colors correctly. Expiry date was Nov 2000.
I didn't get any error messages about expiration dates on the computer, but seriously, these printer cartridges were sealed. They shouldn't be malfunctioning right out of the box.
One way or another, the consumer has to pay for the real cost of the printer, which includes the cost of R&D. There are two ways: upfront, or indirect. Now, you can ask consumers: would you rather pay $499 for the printer and get ink for free, or would you rather pay $99 for the printer and pay for expensive ink? The market chose the second option some years back, which is partly why HP took so much of the inkjet printer market from its competitors.
Now, having established that consumers prefer (and have chosen) to pay for the ink, HP is entitled to protect its ink sales. This just seems logical.
Look at it another way: paying for the consumables gives consumers much more freedom. If they don't like the printer, they chuck it. If you buy a more expensive laser printer that runs on cheap toner, you'll save money, but only if you run the beast for three years.
This is not a printer market problem. Do you buy regular lightbulbs or 'ecological long life' ones? Do you pay for your train and bus each time you get on, or do you buy a season ticket? Do you rent an appartment or pay a mortgage?
This really is a matter of the free market. If printer R&D costs were negligible, we would have already seen an invasion of cheap printers along with cheap ink. Look at what happened to scanners. There is no ripoff here, only people unhappy with the bargains they made.
This story keeps coming back to Slashdot, and every time it's "the poor consumer being ripped off by those bastard printer manufacturers." Does no-one actually bother to analyze the economics here?
First, printers and particularly inkjet printers, follow the Gillette 'sell razor blades, not razors' marketing model. They practicaly give you the printer as an ink burner. So they do all kinds of nifty stuff to make sure you have things to burn ink on, and you keep running down to CompUSA to plop down another $50 on an ink cartridge. The printer also comes with lots of nifty printing software to give you reasons to burn ink.
In our printers, the cartridge was intelligent, and would keep count (yes, the cartridge did) of the number of individual dots of ink for each color of ink emitted. Knowing the average dot capacity of the cartridge (for each color), we could predict when the cartridge was running low and (kindly) tell the user to go buy another cartridge, and would even provide a handy hyperlink to our online store. Better, we would track the printer's average dots/page and page/day statistics to tell them they had x days of printing left. Buy now!
So this comes to me as no surprise that they have put an expiration date on the printer cartridge. They will due it under the guise that its ensuring 'fresh ink supply' and to ensure 'highest quality printing'. But, in reality, its only another means to force the customer into buying yet more ink. Cha-ching!
My advice, shitcan the inkjet printer, go buy a good laser printer. The total cost-of-ownership is much less in the long run.
p.s. - giving the inkjet away is evil and rude [catb.org] and only perpetuates the problem.
Thrashing is just virtual crashing.
